About Alternative Matter
MaYaN – Quarterpast
Published on: April 13, 2011
Categories: Reviews
Tags: Death Metal, Gothic Metal, Mayan, Nuclear Blast, Quarterpast
MaYaN is the latest project/band by guitarist Mark Jansen of Epica fame. The band came into life after he decided to jam a bit with his former After Forever buddies Sander Gommers and Jack Driessen. A couple of line-up changes later Mayan started to take shape and together with the aid of some of the finest musicians from the Dutch scene the band’s debut album, entitled Quarterpast, became a reality. Let’s see what the album is all about.
Truth be told I was never an avid fan of Mark Jansen’s work with Epica and After Forever. The music is just fine, but it simply never clicked with me. MaYaN is altogether another beast. The basis is pretty technical death metal, but with the symphonic flourishes of which Epica and After Forever are/were known for. Imagine a combination of the harder aspects of Sander Gomman’s HDK project with the elaborate symphonic arrangements of Epica/After Forever and you’ll get a good idea of what Quarterpast has to offer.
The connection with Epica and After Forever is further strengthened by the vocal presense of Floor Jansen (ReVamp) and Simone Simons (Epica). The best part of Quarterpast is its strong and well-crafted song material. ‘Symphony Of Agression’, ‘Mainstay Of Society’, ‘The Savage Massacre’, ‘Bite The Bullet’ and ‘Celibate Aprodite’ are some particular fine examples of the writing prowess of Mark Jansen and his fellow musical partners in crime. The music is very layered which enhances the overall listening experience.
Sound-wise the album has a fine production, thanks to Sasha Paeth and his Gate studio. The symphonic elements are a bit too much in the forefront for my taste. A more guitar oriented mix wouldn’t have hurt. It’s a matter of taste I suppose.
This small inconvenience aside I can only say that Mark Jansen and his friends delivered a very strong and convincing debut with Quarterpast. It may scare the hell out of his more gothic metal oriented (female) fanbase, as for me it’s an highly entertaining release!

Is prostitution legal in argentina
Laundry hanging above a courtyard in La Boca, a working-class neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
Most of escort facility meaning in hindi these immigrants are illegal and nobody knows their escort service bay area real numbers.
When prostitution is legalized, the government will no longer have to spend cost for hiring additional law officials to hunt down sex workers, enforcing laws against prostitution, and caring for sex workers in jail.From the Yerba mate ( ilex paraguaiensis ) plant which is cultivated in northeast Argentina.It is generally claimed that by the end of the sixteenth century, Martín del Barco Centenera first used the current name of the country in the poem "Argentina y Conquista del Desierto." The name derives from the Latin word for silver, the metal the Spanish.Both private and public organizations are very actively involved in research.Migrants also include indigenous peoples and a small number of mulattoes and blacks from Uruguay and Brazil.
" At the time of the Spanish conquest, the land was inhabited by various indigenous groups, but most of the original languages and communities have been irrevocably lost.
Some regional cultural traditions are quite distinct.
They competed with the immigrants for salaried work in the ranches that were demarcated with barbed wire fences.Of course, its not, because after the police try their best to arrest sex workers and waste our money for the expense of court and hearings, these sex workers will just pay fines or stay in jail for a couple of days, and then get.Aside from the profit, another primary reason why the market for child sex slaves exists is due to the criminalization of adult prostitution.In 1980, lawmakers accidentally removed the section that defined prostitution as a crime, and it went unnoticed until 2003.Just like what other people are saying, some women, who are in the business, chose to offer their service willingly and no one forced them.Babies sleep in their own cribs.They constituted the ruling elite of the country for generations.

The Whaling War II
10 January, 2010 / 29 Comments
The Japanese whale hunt in the Southern Ocean is always controversial in Australia. But, as predicted earlier this week, the political and public heat around the issue has escalated further in the aftermath of the ramming and subsequent sinking of the Ady Gil – a small trimaran – from the Sea Shepherd fleet, by a security ship from the whaling fleet.
Most Australians are anti-whaling – a stance supported by all political parties, including the government and the main Opposition party – and the widely available video evidence of the collision has only entrenched that view. The pressure on the Australian government to ‘do something’ is stronger than ever. The same situation can also be said to apply in New Zealand, where the Ady Gil was registered and where many of its crew are from. The public squabbling by supporters of either side about the levels of responsibility for the collision will do little other then keep the issue boiling along.
The Australian government has been forced by the public pressure to publicly state a deadline of June before they decide on whether to take legal action against the whaling, depending on whether or not “substantial progress” has been made in diplomatic efforts to get Japan to end whaling. As the opening words in this piece from the Courier-Mail demonstrates, this is being reported as the Australian government giving the Japanese government “until June to agree to abandon future whale hunts or Australia will take action in the international court.”
This is not actually what Environment Minister Peter Garrett actually said – he said if they “don’t see substantial progress having taken place (by June)… then the question of legal action will be firmly in front of us, and the Government will be in a position to make a decision.” While this form of words is designed to provide some wiggle room, the only message the public will hear is that the Government will take court at the end of June if the Japanese government doesn’t agree to stop whaling – which of course they are not going to do.
It was always virtually certain that the Japanese would continue to ignore calls to stop or even to reduce whaling, and it is more certain than ever now. But this statement makes it far from certain that the Australian government will decide to take legal when this fact has been demonstrated in June at the next meeting of the International Whaling Convention.
However, if there is no move to initiate legal action, the heat will be turned up even more on the Australian government and public support for those who are prepared to action – that is, the folks from the Sea Shepherd – will probably grow even more.
Meanwhile, the Tony Abbott led Liberals – who are normally more likely to be complaining about the government being too close to the environmentalists – are slamming the government’s response as “gutless” and demanding the government “submit court action papers and give Japan until 30 June to end whaling.”
This media statement by Greg Hunt, the Opposition’s environment spokesperson, last June shows that they were already demanding court action back then. It also contains a handy list of some of the previous commitments by the current government to do this, including comments by Kevin Rudd, when he was in Opposition back in 2005, calling on the then conservative government to initiate court action.
Calls from government Ministers in both Australia and New Zealand for both the whalers and the conservationists to ‘show restraint’ will continue to be ignored by both sides. It is far too late for that. As the Sea Shepherd leader, Paul Watson, says whenever there are calls for restraint from the Australian government:
“We’re not going to restrain ourselves from protecting these whales and we’re not going to restrain ourselves from upholding international conservation law. The Government has shown so much restraint over the years they have done absolutely nothing.”
This last sentence really is the key one.
The disputes over this issue have been going for many years, but there is little doubt it will become more volatile than ever over the rest of this year, which is of course also an election year.
(the original version of this piece was first published at Asian Correspondent)
ELSEWHERE: These two pieces provide some more useful bacground:
– This one from the website of The Australian newspaper provides some background to the perspective of the new Japanese government;
– This one from the website of The Guardian newspaper provides some background to the history and attitude of Paul Watson, the founder of Sea Shepherd.

Whaling war heats up to boiling point
Social Housing – old antagonisms die hard
Andrew Zammit says:
While I happen to be against whaling myself, I don’t follow the reasoning why it is Australia’s responsibility to ‘do something’ as a result of the Sea Shephards – Japanese whalers kerfuffle. A Japanese ship collided with a New Zealand registered ship in international waters (from my understanding our claim to soveriegnty over those waters is not recognised internationally). How has it come about that it’s seen as Australia’s responsibility to take action, by much of the media and a conservative opposition?
Secondly, how strong do you think a legal case against Japanese whaling would be? Japan argues that its whaling activities remain justified under Internation Whaling Commission guidelines (largely through the scientific research quota), and apparently has enough influence over one quarter of the voting members of the IWC to prevent further anti-whaling decisions, as a 75% majority is needed to pass a resolution. So is Japan in fact clearly violating international law? It seems to me rather ambigious, but I’m new to the issue and would like to know what you have to say.
Lastly, (if you don’t mind the plug!) for those interested there’s a good essay on the mechanics of the IWC and the battles between pro- and anti-whaling blocs in a new publication called Quarterly Access: http://quarterlyaccess.typepad.com/blog/2009/12/saviour-or-failure-the-iwc-and-whale-conservation-by-dale-jasper.html It was set up by a group of volunteers (disclaimer: including myself) to provide an outlet for non-established writers on international affairs.
Andrew Bartlett says:
Andrew Z – Personally, I don’t think the Australian government necessarily has to ‘do something’ specifically about the whale fleet vessel ramming the Sea Shepherd boat. I understand the New Zealand government is investigating it, as the Ady Gil was registered in that country.
What I am saying is the heightened awareness about whaling and the related conflict will increase the pressure on the Australian government to back their rhetoric with action and be seen to ‘do something’. Ironically, I think the more the Australian just makes general noises of opposition to whaling while doing nothing effective about it, the more people are likely to feel the Sea Shepherd style tactics are the only option, because at least they are ‘doing something’ – even if the ‘something’ they are doing is a confrontational approach which in other circumstances people would not feel so comfortable about.
It’s not as if Sea Shepherd only started doing this sort of thing yesterday, or that they only target the Japanese. They have had a very aggressive approach from the outside, and have done plenty of the thingsin the northern hemisphere – targetting illegal fishing as well as illegal whaling – and they have had some success in halting whaling and other activities on some occasions.
I think Andrew Zammit may be right in thinking that legal action on the part of the Australian government is not possible when we don’t have sovereignty over Antarctic waters.
Margi: (answer to comments on previous thread)
I guess it has not occurred to you that some of us don’t blindly believe everything we hear and read.
The Japanese could have reasons for killing whales that they don’t want anyone to know about. The same might apply to the Queensland Government banning the aboriginal peoples from using Cape York under the Wild Rivers Program, while leaving a small area open to Chinese mining companies.
Geoffrey Walker said he had lived in Japan for 30 years, which was why I asked for his further opinion.
Perhaps the Japanese are collecting eggs, semen, bile, blood and other bodily secretions and organs for specific purposes.
Perhaps they might even intend to create an army of Humanoid Frankenwhales which eat submarines for lunch, and use torpedoes for toothpicks.
Maybe they have a plan to develop an even more potent form of Viagra or a superior aphrodisiac.
But I feel certain they are stockpiling the whale meat to make an even bigger (financial) killing at a later date, and/or fearing that extremists may completely curtail access to fishing grounds of any kind.
Someone stated that the Japanese had already over-fished their own territorial waters.
I certainly don’t think it is bad manners, ignorant or provocative to investigate possible alternative agendas.
Now I’m looking at the slogan: “Fighting for peace is like #### for virginity.” Sometimes people fight to achieve eventual long term peace. I find the comparison with virginity quite absurd, unless the message is about men visiting prostitutes instead of having sex with virgins.
We all need to put our thinking caps on to determine the real reasons for the Japanese hunting whales when their people clearly don’t want to eat them in great numbers at the present time.
I agree that Australia cannot make loud noises about whaling but not take any action, it should be one or the other.
I guess two key issue are whether legal action is likely to work and what the price would be. Malcolm Cook of the Lowy Institute suggests taking legal action would cause a lot of damage to our relations with Japan: http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/2010/01/08/Whaling-Best-not-to-spout.aspx It could well be argued thats a price worth paying, but I’d personally like to have a sense of how strong our legal case is first. I plan to read around.
And thanks for the response.
paul walter says:
Gee, what a sorry response in at the thread to what ought to been exposed as a bloody cull of several species, further interfering with the workings of an already stressed ecosystem,for no more than the vanity of another tinpot nation state.
The Japanese antics have never been about not “food” as some naifs have suggested, or for “science”, but more about jingoism and the egomania never quite sorted since ww2, merely so the Japanese can then turn around like kids throwing supermarket tantrums to beat their chests and say, “we’ll do what we want to do!”.
And the fact that our own governments make equally stupid and or venal decisons regarding “development” and ecology in this country is no excuse to condone in others, it only emboldens others locally similarly bloody-mindded to the cheek to try on their own destructive antics and schemes as well.
And that’s why Australian governemts typified by that pitiful papier mache caricature appeaser Garrett; truly a man of rather than for his times, won’t take on other countries over war and human rights, OR ecology.
Because then they would have to grasp the nettle (no pun), take on their own vested interests and for once act in the interests of the whole rather than the vicious, grasping fortunate few.
Lorikeet is right! Now a useful cliche, um,perhaps a frozen whalemeat hunk is a virgin candle in disguise!
Margi Prideaux says:
The science all has to be transparently presented to the IWC every year. Ever year it is rejected and/or condemned by the vast majority of Governments in attendance at the meeting. Even Norway distances itself from this one.
There are many theories about why this annual farce takes place. But, it would seem that Lorikeet and I may have one point of agreement – none of us really knows why the Japanese whalers wish to maintain this situation.
The exercise is already heavily subsidized by the State and much of the meat is left unsold. The economics alone don’t add up; let alone the politics or the ecology. What compounds things, is that it seems that the Japanese population and Government are equally in the dark about the ‘why’. This appears to be an agenda driven by a very small group of fisheries/whaling interest from within Japan.
I am in full agreement with Andrew at this stage. The only small points of difference might be that I am fairly sure I believe the legal action/s being proposed (and there are a few floating around) are a too high a risk to take. And, I don’t think that Australia is a big enough player in the game to make much of a dent on Japan’s position. Only the US and Europe are placed to do so, and neither look like they will as yet another round of negotiations and talks seems to be floundering inside the IWC.
Paul Walter:
I don’t think the Japanese would waste time and money beating their chests to show their superiority and dominance over others.
We must look for the potential dollar sign with numerous zeroes attached to this practice. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
CLink says:
In light of the most recent video footage; that taken from the Ady Gil just prior to the ramming; I wonder if those here who would damn Seashepherd at every opportunity could reassess their interpretation, in a spirit of ownership of opinion. I for one would appreciate it.
Back in 2006, the ‘Nisshin Maru’ performed a similar trick in ramming the ‘Arctic Sunrise’, a Greenpeace ship. In both cases the whalers have turned to starboard to confront the protesters, and then turn hard to port for an encore. ‘Arctic Sunrise’ was hit twice by the ‘Nisshin Maru’.
Paul Watson ventured an interpretation for that collision, but as the ‘Farley Mowett’ was far away at the time, he clearly did not learn from it.
Peter Bethune is a capable and careful captain, well aware of the limitations of his vessel, but was perhaps unaware of the deadly determination of the whalers.
Just read Bartlett’s comment in the previous thread about what he would do about whaling if in government. Very well thought out.
Meanwhile Abbott now seems to be opposing legal action: http://www.news.com.au/national/whales-not-worth-risking-japanese-relations-for-says-abbott/story-e6frfkvr-1225818360782
Abbott’s opposition actually makes me slightly more in favour of the idea… but I’d agree with Margi that we’re probably not a big enough player.
Clink, thanks so much for that. I wondered if anyone else had had the brains, as to the recognition of the source of the criminality, and your description of themodus operandi is quite specific.
Deep Green Heart says:
If the Japanese are intending to take up to 50 Humpbacks this year, regardless of whether the take of the 1000 or so other whales is ‘scientific’ or otherwise, what sanctions are available through CITES, of which Japan are signatories and Humpbacks are listed?
Presumably the whale meat is ‘traded’ on its way to the tables or dumpsters of Japan.
Chris Grealy says:
OK, for starters, the opposition is showing schizophrenic behaviour over the Japanese whaling. Not so very long ago, they were ordering the Government to leave the poor Japanese alone, in case their feeings were hurt. Now, they want to start a WAR! Yes, yes, Tony, settle down and have another whiskey.
BTW, I’m not at all sure that the Ady Gil was rammed, as you declare in your first paragraph. The video I saw showed that it was under power and darted across the bows of the larger ship. Their declarations that they were at full reverse are unconvincing. So it may reasonably be concluded that the collision was engineered by the protestors for publicity. Crocodile tears don’t impress me.
Deep Green Hart:
Morally, I believe you are right. Sadly though, the whale meat is not ‘traded,’ because to do so (and therefore contravene CITES) the trade would have to be with another country. Having said that CITES could probably do more … if the political will was there.
And here we circle back to the same conundrum again. The power to change this situation lies with the power nations of the current world – the US and Europe (as a block … if it can hold it together). Right now, they all seem content for this debate to rage on the open ocean and in the meeting hall of the IWC. Few countries have really been prepared to truthfully escalate the negotiation to head of state level … including for that matter Australia, regardless of the political colors we are flying under. Mostly this issue remains a side note in the diplomatic briefings around the world.
Chris Grealy:
Like you I am not so sure who is ultimately responsible. As Andrew has said a few times it is possible to view the footage from two polar opposite perspectives and feel utterly justified in your conviction. Ultimately, the courts will decide. But, as Andrew points out, the expectation of public opinion has been piqued regardless of where the fault lies.
Well, here’s a new opinion.
My South African neighbour, who is quite an astute individual in political matters, says he thinks both sides were playing chicken, each trying to intimidate the other, and that the collision was an accident.
Yes Lorikeet, probably so!
If the Japanese would just bone up on real science and keep their fleet home, there would be no need for such confrontations in the first place.
Meanwhile, this thing with the Japanese only taking whales for “scientific purposes”.
If that’s the case, this business of people eating them afterwards is just, shall we say, an “oversight”?
Then all this stuff some have suggested as to a nefarious link between bigbusiness and whaling relating to the$s involved, would be disproven, yes?
I say this in light of certain earlier comments proposing that whales were legitimately being taken for food.
Puhlleessee!
Just thinking on this, btw, how many macabre “experiments” can you conduct on dead or drowning whales or their corpses before you find out what ever it is you need to “know” about them?
And boy. after all these experiments, whats left of the whale meat? Must be pretty rank.
Perhaps the Greenies are inadvertantly saving the benighted Japanese public from food poisoning as well?
As you would be aware, lots of skulduggerous acts are perpetrated these days in order to grab the mighty dollar.
Please reconsider all of the possibilities I have suggested: e.g. vaccines against laboratory-created viruses, other medical and naturopathic products, interspecies breeding and warfare.
But I think the greatest likelihood is that they are stockpiling frozen whalemeat in anticipation of a worldwide ban, or very strict limitations on fishing. If the Japanese still have a bountiful supply, they could end up naming their own price.
The Japanese public would not be poisoned if frozen products were appropriately thawed for use. The Japanese brain was not found in a cornflakes box.
In this day and age, I would never describe financial zeal as nefarious.
Part of the reason that third world populations are starving, is that the western world sells weapons to their governments, and then they have little money left to buy food.
red crab says:
sorry i took so long to say so.
but after reading your comment carfuly and all the others to .
i asked myself a question if most off the world including all countrys that have some clame over antarctica .
mabe its not the whaling that the japanese are interested in mabe it go,s deeper than that . mabe they want there little chunk to and the only way thay can try for it is to get to court and base there case on who has soverenty over the waters and land there .
as you mentiond this could be the outcome of a court case .
if i as a mear mortal could think of it i would imagine others could of thought a long time ago
it seams to make sence to me
ask yourself why go and hunt whales the cost and danger not to mention the bad will it brings to your ppl would you do it with out some sort of greater goal.
the price of whale meat in japan dosent justafy the risk.
is this why any australian govt has been reluctant to take them to court .
mabe tony abbott knows more than we give him credit for .
if it gos to court and the japanese win they will claim a greate prize if they loose so what they stop whaling which makes them popular and saves them a lot of money.
it would seam the only country that will loose is us
for not acting sooner when they had the chance to.
Red Crab:
Maybe the Japanese want sovereignty over the Antarctic waters themselves. Perhaps they want to use the area to test nuclear weapons.
Maybe they have some old submarines from WWII, on which they want to test the Humanoid Frankenwhales.
tsc tsc lorikeet
you must see some creibility in my thoughts or you wouldent get so wound up .
like every thing there is always a lot more to it than most ppl see.
besides its good for our govt because it takes the focas off border control.
Lorikeet, these are the “left-handed, gay” Humanoid Frankenwhales we have heard so much of, over the years?
Really, we must stop lampooning them.
Just another species of “undeserving poor”, belly flopping out there in the oceans, gettng in the way of earnest folk like the Japanese and Norwegians, contribute nothing to growth with their foolish splashing about except around their girths.
Put them to work towing prawn trawlers, I say!
Ps, Your comment re Third World countries the other day has proved uncannily accurate, given what’s eventuated with Haiti.
Ucchh!
I’m not wound up about this topic – just looking at as many options as possible.
You are I are certainly on a different train of thought where the Humanoid Frankenwhales are concerned.
What has happened in Haiti is truly horrific – a nightmare of the first order.
But expect more cries of horror when people find out what is happening in our own country as a result of Julia Gillard’s industrial streamlining efforts.
lorikeet
have a read of andews comment to my question .
if you read it carfully then you will see where i got my idea from if australia go,s to court over whaling and looses the side affects could be bad for this country.
and as far as testing things go why not! didnt the french do that in our reagion. also the americans and the british.
are not the japanese killing whales for reserch.
heres a thought for you paul and lorikeet
have either of you ever seen whaleing other than in books and on tv?
i dont think so
i have iv stood on the flensing deck at chains beach while it was operating and been up on the deck of an active whale chasser
and for the record i have also eaten whale meat .
iv seen it and its not something one forgets .it should be stopped.
sounds like some academics and so called educated ppl i have encounterd over the years.
Yes, I think they definitely have a brutal method of slaughter. The television version was enough for me.
If the Japanese are allowed to do nuclear testing in Antarctic waters, they will completely blow the whales (and anything else within blasting distance) apart.
Japan – and a heap of other countries – are a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty. This Treaty commits the signatory states to agree not to undertake military activity, including weapons testing of any sort, (let alone nuclear tests) in Antarctic waters.
There is probably a range of reasons why Japan wants to continue whaling in Antarctic waters, but weapons testing would not be one of them.
think about it its not hard
weapons testing thats a joke .
the thing is that if it go,s to court and australia looses it could theoreticly give japan and any other country open access to the southern waters .
it would not just mean the end to a lot of whales but also posibly give them and any other country access to all other types of fishing.whithout any form of control.
what a prize for a country that is possibly the biggest seafood consumer on the planet.
but as always its just smoke and mirrors while the focas is on something that is emotional the focas is taken off something more important or something the govt wants to get done without to much fuss .
or as a past queensland leader used to say feeding the chooks.
how close to the truth is that andrew.
Well I guess the federal government might be trying to deflect attention from Industrial Relations Streamlining of Awards in a downward direction, combined with continuing takeovers of government and church assets by huge corporations.

Silicon solar cells constitute about 90% of the worldwide solar electricity market (photovoltaic + thermal). This share is unlikely to change much over the next five years. In 2015, new silicon PV and wind electricity generation capacity was installed at a greater rate than the sum of new fossil and nuclear generation capacity combined. Reasons for silicon’s dominance include silicon abundance, moderate cost, low toxicity, high and stable cell efficiency, robustness, bankability, highly advanced and widespread knowledge of silicon, and extensive and sophisticated supply chains.
This Program Package (PP1) addresses silicon wafer-based cells and modules and has efficiency targets, increasing over the eight-year period, for cells formed from solar-grade silicon, all-rear contact cells and tandem structures that include silicon.

The elegantly worded The Language of Flowers made me invest quite a lot during the first chapters, but gambled all my affection away later on. I will try to explain how this unceremonious drop around the middle of the story came to pass after introducing Victoria to you. There is nothing victorious about Victoria apart from the fact that she survived to see her eighteen's birthday. Even social worker Meredith sees her only as a failure she personally doesn't deserve. A dark blotch on her white s [...]
Too much folding! “He folded himself into a chair. She folded her feet beneath her. He folded over in exhaustion placing his head on the table. She folded over in pain. She folded herself underneath the bush.” How about: “He sat in a chair. She pulled her feet beneath her. He slumped over in exhaustion. She bent over in pain. She curled herself underneath the bush.”Really, another verb is needed here and fold/ed was most overused. Yes, I am nitpicking, but since I was bothered enough to [...]

Can't remember when I've read and enjoyed a story as much as Victoria's. She stole my heart from the beginning and I only grew to admire and love her more with each page. There were times when I wanted to shake her and yell at her to wake up and get a grip. Just when I thought she wouldn't, she did just that. Amazing story of survival, love, and strength. The flowers add so much depth and feelings to this story that I was enthralled by it all. Just an amazing and wonderfully well written book wi [...]
Sorry if I post this review twice. I somehow "lost" the one I was writing.This book is the darling of book clubs all over the country but I found it to be insipid and flawed. It showed great promise for about the first third. Diffenbaugh seemed to show an accurate and heartbreaking portrait of a young girl who is let down by the foster care system. She is angry and damaged. This was believable and felt very real.The rest of the book didn't make a lot of sense to me. This broken young woman is sa [...]
"The Language of Flowers" by Vanessa DiffenbaughI loved this book from the beginning and didn’t want it to end. I have always had a fascination with knowing the names history of flowers and plants and love finding them in natural surroundings. This book, The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh, (whose name is similar to the dieffenbachia plant) had such a moving story line in telling the story of Victoria, from her abandonment at birth, through childhood abuse, to her orphanage experien [...]
I have received many a horrified look when I have told people that I don't like red roses. Their expression of horror only got worse when I told them I much preferred yellow roses. I was always really confused as to why which flowers I liked would cause such a strong reaction.Then I read this book and found out. Translation Time."I don't like red roses" = "I don't like love"."But I love yellow roses" = "But I love infidelity".o.ONow, I'm guessing that this wasn't actually the reason why the look [...]

Vanessa went to Standard- lived in the Bay Area and is very familiar with the SF Bay Area It's excellent - Her first book. My favorite book she wrote. I started this book today (On Valentines Day [...]
This book was to me, the language of growth, acceptance, and love and of coming home. I have many books on my shelf, but this one stood out simply as I remembered a quick line from a friend, saying she loved it – thanks Jools for this, and for my book.This was special, and did really suit me in the form of short intense chapters, alternating between the past and present. Tethering me somewhere between constantly feeling bereft yet hopeful, but precariously edgy. I did not put this book down on [...]

I received this book from Giveaways.After my recent horrendous experience with The Rose Labyrinth, which had me wanting to claw my eyes out after four sentences, it was wonderful to come across a novel with such a graceful writing style that was apparent from the first page.For eight years I dreamed of fire. Trees ignited as I passed them, oceans burned. The sugary smoke settled in my hair as I slept, the scent like a cloud left on my pillow as I rose. Even so, the moment my mattress started to [...]

I received this book through a postal book swap and we were just permitted to post online as we are through our rotation.When this book first came out, I kept seeing the hard cover everywhere with its very striking image of white blossoms and a black background. It kind of had the look of a romance novel, so I hadn't tried it. My friend Kathryn read and loved it, and that had landed it on my to-read list, but I hadn't gotten around to it. I was happy to do so when it ended up in my mail, because [...]
Hard to put down book about mothers and daughters. I feel completely emotionally exhausted but I had to stay up and find out how everything was going to play out. If this book has escaped your attention, remedy that right away and pick it up!

I don't really know what to write about this book. It was well-written, but I'm not sure I liked it. I didn't hate it, though. For me, it's one of those books that left me going, "UmmOK". I like the flower communication and all, but the whole story just sort of took some weird turns and ended up feeling like it wasn't going anywhere. And then it didn't. It just kind of ended. Meh.

Orphaned at a young age, Victoria has been moved to different foster homes, rebelling with angry outbursts and never in one place long enough to establish any solid relationships. At the age of 10, she is taken in by a woman who teaches her the language of flowers and what each flower means. Through these teachings, Victoria is able to start positively communicating. However, when the relationship is threatened, she reverts back to behaviour that will cost her the safe haven she has found and sh [...]

Imagine a little baby as the seed of beautiful flower who travels from birth to fruition through orphanages, group homes, foster care and the social system of America, never falling in fertile soil to take route and thrive? But then, as destiny would have it, Victoria Jones lands on a flower and vineyard farm in California where the secrets of the Victorian Floriography of the plants is revealed to this girl who only understood the human language of rejection and unworthiness to be loved. She cl [...]

This child, this self-admitted odd-bod, Victoria has been in the foster system since birth. Ask her who her parents are and she will say the Foster System. At age ten, she has been in thirty-nine different foster homes. She is used to, at a moment's notice, being removed or rejected by her foster parents. She travels light, everything she owns is in a small canvas bag which includes her Dictionary of Flowers. The story is told in two sequences of time; when she is ten, going to a new foster home [...]

I’m probably not the target audience for this book, but I’m not NOT the right audience. Thematically it reminded me a lot of Kitchens of the Great Midwest which I thought was superb.The writing wasn’t bad, the pacing wasn’t a slog. Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for another orphan story. Seems like every book has an orphan in it these day. Why? Are we in the midst of a global identity crisis? Maybe it’s just one of those random trends, like every novel having “Girl” in the title [...]
I've always believed that giving flowers meant something . I knew that red roses meant love and somewhere along the line I learned that Baby's Breath , almost always in a bride's bouquet signified everlasting love . However, that was the extent of my knowledge of the meaning of flowers , originating in the Victorian era - until I read this book . Do flowers speak to us in this way ? I really don't know but it's nice to think so and the author has creatively wrapped this language around this stor [...]
Moss doesn't have any roots, but it grows anyway, without any roots. That's what this book is about the roots that we have in our lives, or don't have. Who was your mother, what were her traits, where do you fit in, where did you come from, who are you connected to, your roots. Victoria has spent her life in and out of foster care homes, abused, neglected, unwanted. The book flashes back to when she was in fosters homes, to when she went to live with Elizabeth at the age of 10, to her current da [...]

If you only enjoy books with likable protagonists & manly men give this one a pass. I expected some pleasant distraction about love & the Victorian language of flowers - didn’t disappoint except in the light read department. Downright dark it borders on melodrama as it tells the story of an abandoned baby deprived of a mother’s love & nurturing, illustrating the often irreparable damage done to that child’s psyche. Victoria is caught up in a foster system that reinforces her fe [...]
This "review" forces me to think about the five star rating system. Since a number of stars reflects my own personal assessment then I need to be honest about how I feel about a book. Here is a chance to define my rating system: five stars means that the book is fascinating, readable, attention holding, has a plot, well defined characters and is well written, lyrical or poetic even. One star means I should not have read the book, why did I bother? But I did and it was good enough to finish(or sk [...]
The Language of Flowers is a debut novel which sparked a major international bidding war. It sold at auction for over 1 million in the US (!) ~ and for a six-figure sum in the UK and Commonwealth.The blurb gives an awesome synopsis, but I will add a bit to it: The story itself alternates between the present and the past, a chapter at a time. In the present, Victoria is eighteen, jobless, homeless and sleeping in a park. She manages to get a job working for a florist (she knows flowers, in an obs [...]
Humans have assigned meaning to various plants for centuries. That idea was taken a step further during the Victorian era with "floriography," a way of communicating messages using flowers. It was great for expressing emotion in a restrictive, ritual-driven culture. To send a message, a bouquet or boutonniere would be exchanged using blooms to convey not just love, but also friendship, a family connection, or complicated feelings. If a man and a woman had a disagreement, he might send her purple [...]
I've come across a few articles/books as of late about the role reading can play in making a person more empathic. I had those studies in mind as I read Vanessa Diffenbaugh's "The Language of Flowers." Chiefly because, without empathy, I would have failed to fully appreciate its narrator, Victoria Jones.A foster kid, Jones is a tough girl who blew her chance at being adopted and so, for 18 years, has bounced from group home to group home with the worst of attitudes. The book follows her life upo [...]
I had difficulty with "the willing suspension of disbelief" required by this novel. I was able to accept Victoria's behavior only because I felt she was in need of serious psychiatric counseling. However, the behavior of everyone else was completely unbelievable (possible exception was the social worker). Why would Elizabeth, the foster mom who loves Victoria so much, risk losing her completely simply because, decades of estrangement from her sister, she decides she can't adopt Victoria without [...]
Do you ever read a book then look at all the other reviews and wonder if you've read the same book? This is that book. I know some readers have to 'like' or care about the characters to enjoy a book. I don't: loved 'Gone Girl' for instance which I don't think had one likeable character in it. But the main character in this never felt fully fleshed out to me, I couldn't quite believe in her. The idea of an emotionally damaged child/woman who can only really communicate through the Victorian langu [...]
I'm a little conflicted about how to rate and review this one. I was really interested in the subject matter - the Victorian language of flowers. The young protagonist Victoria is a hurt and traumatized young woman after spending most of her life in foster care. After finally being released on her 18th birthday she begins a new life working with a florist and begins to bloom a little herself. The narration flips back and forth between her present life and various childhood episodes which I found [...]

3 ½ starsHad this not been a book club read I would probably never have started reading it. The basic storyline and book title just sounded too much like romantic chic lit. Sometimes those are nice but restrict myself to perhaps one or two books in this genre per year. But this was more Joshilyn Jackson than Nora RobertsThe chapters alternate between 9-year-old and 18-year-old Victoria and while time hopping in a novel can sometimes feel too jarring I think it worked very well here. Mainly beca [...]

Could not put this one down and was done within 24 hours. The book had an almost magical appeal on me and was drawn to the story line as well as the meaning of the various flowers.While Victoria was a frustrating and complex character throughout the book, I couldn't help but to like her and was rooting for from beginning to end.Special bonus is the whimsical "Victoria's Dictionary of Flowers" at the end of the book. Have a feeling I will be reaching for this book here and there to use it as a re [...]

Australian Open Tour News
Keegan Bradley confirms for 2018 Emirates Australian Open
Keegan Bradley add firepower to the 2018 Emirates Australian Open.
Press release from Golf Media Australia
The popular American, the 2011 US PGA Championship winner and four times a winner on the US PGA Tour, has confirmed he will play at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney from 15-18 November.
“I’ve heard a lot about the Aussie Open and all the historic names on the Stonehaven Cup. I can’t wait to have a shot at putting my name on it,” the dual Ryder Cup player said.
“And to come to Sydney at that time of year is something I’m also really looking forward to, it’s a big bucket list thing for me to tick off.”
Bradley, 32, roared back to his best this season with a win in the BMW Championship, the third leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs taking him back to No.31 in the world.
Joining Bradley in making their Open debuts are two more genuine contenders for the 103rd staging of the Open, three-time PGA Tour winner Brendan Steele and rising Mexican star Abraham Ancer.
Steele, 35, has won in each of the past two PGA Tour seasons, both times at the Safeway Open on top of his Valero Texas Open victory in 2011.
Ancer, 27, was twice in the top five on this year’s PGA Tour and came within minutes of a huge breakthrough win in the FedEx Cup playoffs, leading until the closing holes of the Dell Technologies Championship in Boston last month.
The trio joins American stars Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker as confirmed starters at The Lakes.
Golf Australia chief executive Stephen Pitt was delighted to welcome all three newcomers to the race for the Stonehaven Cup.
“Everyone knows how entertaining and effervescent Keegan is around the crowds and we’re really thrilled that he, Brendan and Abraham will be in Sydney for the first time,” Pitt said.
“With the other Americans and hopefully a host of our emerging young talent, the field is really starting to build nicely.
“The Open is always a great sporting and social week and I encourage people to book their tickets early to ensure they won’t miss the action.”
Tickets are on sale at Ticketek at www.ticketek.com
The Emirates Australian Open is supported by the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
The Emirates Australian Open is a flagship tournament on the ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia. The winner will receive a minimum of 32 Official World Golf Ranking points.

‘In the spirit of being vulnerable, honest, and 40, I present Lies Moms Tell Themselves at Back-to-School Time.’
- Aug 31, 2018
As a mom, a teacher, and the youngest of three children myself, I like to tell people what to do. It’s my thing. I spew my back-to-school wisdom, offering tips, tricks, and time-savers to get all members of your family out the door relatively unmurdered every back-to-school season.
This year, I’m calling hooey on myself.
I can offer you advice until penne alla vodka doesn’t smell like vomit (read: forever —penne alla vodka smells exactly like vomit and always will), but I follow this garbage advice myself for a week — tops:
Lay out the week’s outfits on shelves labeled Monday–Friday? Hogwash!
Prep and freeze meals on weekends? Horsefeathers!
Hire a cleaning lady? I don’t want to have to clean my house to make it presentable enough for a cleaning lady!
Therefore, this year, in the spirit of being vulnerable, honest, and 40, I present Lies Moms Tell Themselves at Back-to-School Time:
“I will start healthy habits once summer is over.” There is some nonsense about getting back into a routine that also makes me think I should add the pressures of “diet” and “exercise.” Like having oodles less time is the perfect opportunity to fit four sessions of aerial yoga into my week. Nope.
“I am going to pack lunches at night.” Friends, I barely have enough energy to pry open a box of wine and lift the remote to turn on Bachelor in Paradise. I mean, I find the energy, but not all heroes wear capes. Lunches will have to wait.
“I am going to allow myself the freedom to buy Lunchables without guilt.” With straws being public enemy number one right now, my money says they’re coming for Loaded Lunchables and all of their glorious disposability next. Don’t get too comfortable.
“I will make sleep a priority.” Once my kids are in bed and all the annoying young stars of YouTube have gone with them, I allow myself to fall into a beautiful, reruns-of–Golden Girls lull where there’s no homework and no demands. The next thing I know, it’s midnight. Even if it means a groggy morning, I am not willing to let it go.
“It’s the perfect time to formulate a plan.” Once routine sets in and I’m feeling relatively competent, I inevitably fall into the “stop dreaming, start planning” trap — every … single … year. You know what I’ve come to accept? Life is already good! I’m livin’ the dream, baby (unless, of course, I can plan my way into a reality show where Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum reconcile and I’m their spunky next-door neighbor).
Sometimes we need to can the tips and tricks. Just accept that no pile of clever Pinterest ideas can possibly make getting kids to school easy or peaceful or simple every day. If anyone tells you differently, remind them that Martha Stewart’s own daughter wrote a tell-all book about her crappy childhood.
We are doing just fine.

Signs of the times: an astrological overview
Published on April 17, 2017 in Entertainment/Showcase/Uncategorized by Georgia Moore
The concept of astrological (star) signs dates back to the Babylonians in the first millennium BC. The simple split of twelve different “signs” corresponding with celestial coordinates in relation to the movement of stars was later adopted by the Greeks and Romans. Around that same time, Hindu astrologers developed a system called “jyotish vidya,” or…

Braxton Brewing to Release Authentic German Lager in Cans
Posted April 28, 2017 · Add Comment
Braxton Brewing Co. is excited to begin canning it’s fourth and final core style. Beginning during the first week of May, the Covington-based brewery’s Twisted Bit Dortmunder Lager will be available in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans.
Join the taproom can release party here.
“Twisted Bit was the first lager we ever produced at Braxton, and now it is finally coming to cans,” said Evan Rouse, Braxton Brewing Company Co-Founder & COO. “As a team with extensive backgrounds in lager production we were more than excited to get this on tap. After reviewing the market and seeing a lack of craft lager availability, the Dortmunder style truly stood out!”
Twisted Bit is a traditional Dortmunder Lager brewed the authentic German way. Before the beer is brewed, Braxton Brewing Co. infuses Covington water with minerals to match the water profile of Dortmund, Germany.
“The most crucial ingredient, and often neglected ingredient, in beer is water” said Richard Dubé, Braxton Brewing Company Co-Founder & Brewmaster. “Centuries ago, European cities became famous for their IPA, Export Lager, Dunkel, Dry Stouts and more. Consequently, water needs to be adjusted to mimic traditional styles brewed in specific regions. By doing so, the functionality of the mashing enzymes is affected and also the activity and behavior of the yeast during fermentation. All of this, has a significant impact on the final taste.”
Early in the brewing process, Braxton also uses a method called decoction. This is the traditional method for lagers. Decoction is boiling a portion of the mash to create a rich and complex malt backbone for the beer. Only decoction imparts this truly unique malt depth that traditional German lagers are famous for.
“The decoction process is time-consuming, and adds additional complexity to the brew day,” said Adam Rauckhorst, Braxton Brewing Company Head Brewer. “But we have found it to be incredibly important to providing the depth of flavor we wanted for this beer.”
This is the fourth Braxton core style beer to be canned. Storm Golden Cream Ale, Revamp IPA, Dead Blow Tropical Stout and Twisted Bit Dortmunder Lager are all available year round on draft. Storm and Revamp are also available in cans year round. Dead Blow and Twisted Bit will rotate in cans during the Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer months, respectively.
When Braxton opened in 2015, Twisted Bit was not a core style. It began as a small batch, Garage Series beer. Due to its popularity and the brewing team’s lager expertise, the brewery decided to make a commitment to lagers and Twisted Bit is now available year round.
The Dortmunder Lager checks in at 5.8% ABV and 30 IBU. It has the malt profile of a Helles and hop character of a Pilsner but is slightly stronger than both.
The 6-packs of 12 oz. cans will be available throughout Braxton’s distribution network in Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, Louisville, Lexington and Dayton beginning during the first week of May.

Game vs Churchian Idolatry
The Hawaiian Libertarian answers a question that plagues many Christian newcomers to Game: how is Game compatible with Christianity?
Discovering "Game" was my game changer. It gave me a language to describe and think about so many things I previously could not even name, let alone comprehend. It provided a schema for grasping the larger concepts bereft in my emasculated upbringing. And ultimately, it has also eventually brought me around full circle into belief in the truth of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
For this, I have the degenerate scumbags, the cads, the God Awful P-U-A to thank. Oh promiscuous manwhores who proclaim your proficiency in fornication and adultery, it is your discussions and note-sharing on how to commit these debased sins of hedonistic nihilism by exploiting the fallen, sinful nature of women, that helped me come to understand the primary sin that has infiltrated and subverted Christianity in the West, the sin of IDOLATRY.
I believe that is the real subversion of Christian doctrine in so many Churches today - pedestalization of the pussy...which is really just another manifestation of the ancient, pagan religion of Goddess worship.
From this idolatry flows many other sins and corruption of faith and family.
Anytime a Preacher, Pastor, Elder or some other Churchian authority promotes the Female Imperative by exhorting the men to man up and marry the sluts single moms in the congregation, or cut Husbands and Fathers off at the knees in their sermons, or praises (worships) and the superior spirituality of Christian women, he is committing the sin of idolatry.
Any church that declares unchaste women "born again virgins," or any particular woman is excused and accepted by a church and it's congregation for destroying her family via frivorce, or preaches mutual submission by husbands to their wives or any other translation of Ephesians 5:22 that undermines a Husbands Patriarchal authority in the home, is a church laying it's offerings on the altar of that ancient, pagan goddess bitch.
Without discovering the red pill of game, I doubt I ever would have came to this realization and recognize this idolatry for what it is, nor broken free from it's ritualistic worship.
Let's not forget Phillipians 1:15-18: "It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice."
Now, Game is not Christ. Game is not Truth. But Game is truth, and he who comes to love truth will, in time, come to love Truth as well. At the very least, the truth-seeker has set himself upon the rocky and difficult path that leads to the Kingdom of Heaven.
"By their fruits you shall know them." And as Keoni demonstrates, the fruit of Game is a sweet one that is beneficial to men.

Doorstop said...
Not completely on-topic, but Proverbs 30 (specifically verses 18-23) has a few comments about inter-sexual relations:
“There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a young woman.
“This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth
and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’
“Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot bear up:
a servant who becomes king,
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
a contemptible woman who gets married,
and a servant who displaces her mistress.
And what is the fruit of Game? The complete feminization of the Gamer; the Gamer's desire shall be to his wife/woman, and her pussy will rule over the Gamer. And you think that you are different than those Churchians?
And what is the fruit of Game?
Mastery. You obviously have no idea what Game is, little gamma boy.
And you think that you are different than those Churchians?
Without question.
But Game is truth, and he who comes to love truth will, in time, come to love Truth as well.
Before reading your blogs and others in the sphere, I would gloss over the teachings about women and marriage in the Bible. It's not talking about me, that is not my nature - lying to myself while reading, ignoring as best I could the truth of my nature, or at least hoping I wouldn't be found out. Reading here and elsewhere it was inescapable, if these very things I'd like to keep hidden or attempt to deceive myself that they are not true about me are so easily observable in all women, according to these authors, I should probably start reading the Bible more closely - God must have something to say about how to overcome these things. And, thankfully He does. But it begins with Truth and the first step is to stop lying and hiding. It's shameful and embarrassing but so is pooping your pants when you're a potty training toddler. Lying about it, claiming NAWALT, will not clean the poop, you just smell foul. Only by embracing it can you receive help in cleaning it up.
It's a disgusting analogy, sorry. It does prove useful for how we deal with our own daughters when they poop their pants (coveting, false witness, disrespect, irrational outbursts etc) and desire to say "nah uh, no I didn't!"
LibertyPortraits said...
The idolatry connection is a nice touch, I've seen it applied to a few different circumstances (like the legal fiction of incorporation) to point out how it is so bad. I wonder if God knew about the way idolatry would be used in the future as opposed to some goat-herders in a desert who were naturally inclined to a polytheistic worldview.
Matamoros said...
I detest the statement, "if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." It should be "if papa ain't happy..."
As late as 1967 there was still a realization of this salient fact, as Bobbi Marten's song, "For the Love of Him" illustrates.
When he opens the door says I'm home
Beware of the look in his eyes
They tell you the mood he's in
What kind of day it's been
For the love of him
Make it your reason for living
Give all the love you can give him
All the love you can
There'll be little things he forgets to do
Have you told him today I love you
When he reaches out be there
Show him that someone cares, he's a
If you take him into your arms
For the times when he won't say a word
And you wonder if there's something you said
The gentle touch of your hand
Tell him you understand
Man and a man have to try
Let him run, let him fall, let him cry
His world won't fall apart
Weouro said...
The HL is right. Game ideas provide a rationale or, for some of the most pathetic, even a kind of permission, to impose on women and to expect submissiveness.
Adam Lawson said...
The complete feminization of the Gamer; the Gamer's desire shall be to his wife/woman, and her pussy will rule over the Gamer.
... Do what?
No, no, no, you are fundamentally misunderstanding something here. Game isn't about feminizing the man. It's about strengthening his innate manliness. It's about bringing about something that society has tried to shame out of men, something primal, something women like deep down, so find success with them.
Yes, the goal is to get laid for PUAs, or to improve a marriage for those of us who are married. So pussy plays a part, but it's never in the driver's seat. If it was, it wouldn't be happy -- women don't want to have to be the boss.
I'm sorry that you are so pussy-whipped but don't project that on everyone else.

Off topic, but too good to pass up:
As Wendy Davis touts life story in race for governor, key facts blurred
...While they dated, Wendy Davis enrolled at Texas Christian University on an academic scholarship and a Pell Grant. After they married, when she was 24, they moved into a historic home in the Mistletoe Heights neighborhood of Fort Worth.
Jeff Davis paid for her final two years at TCU. “It was community resources. We paid for it together,” Wendy Davis said.
When she was accepted to Harvard Law School, Jeff Davis cashed in his 401(k) account and eventually took out a loan to pay for her final year there....
...Over time, the Davises’ marriage was strained. In November 2003, Wendy Davis moved out.
Jeff Davis said that was right around the time the final payment on their Harvard Law School loan was due. “It was ironic,” he said. “I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left.”...
Laguna Beach Fogey said...
"Game isn't about feminizing the man. It's about strengthening his innate manliness."
Yes, this. You could also say it's about "finding" his innate manliness. Anti-Gamers almost always betray a fundamental misunderstanding of Game. I think many of them are afraid to grow up, to become a man. It scares them and clouds their thinking.

I would love to get you, Rollo Tomassi, Paul Elam, Karen Straughan, thunder foot and Stefan molyneux together for a round table discussion. I myself have always taken the 'manosphere' as a whole, and believe 'the answer' is a mixture of the four main branches (including Traditionalists). I also think the manospheres criticism of 'churchianity' is the beginning of a new Reformation as well.
Its weird but true. I started out agnostic but curious, and am now a believer...even if still highly repulsed by most organized religions.
Logos said...
A woman falls out of love with her husband and abandons him because she's not "happy." According to Christianity, she has broken God's command to submit to her husband. According to the theoreticians of Game and Churchianity, the husband is to blame for not making her WANT to submit to him. The latter make the wife's duties purely optional and thus play into the hands of matriarchy, forcing marriage submit to the woman rather than her to it.
For anyone unsure what the phrase "sour grapes" actually referrs to, please read bobbye2's comment for an illustration.
Gammaboy can't use game. Gammaboy assumes the fruits of game woudl be sour anyway.
The latter make the wife's duties purely optional and thus play into the hands of matriarchy, forcing marriage submit to the woman rather than her to it.
Exactly backward. Churchians explicitly make submissiveness optional and conditional. Game implicitly makes it mandatory. What they potentially have in common is both agree that no relationship is permanent.
According to the theoreticians of Game and Churchianity, the husband is to blame for not making her WANT to submit to him.
Wrong. In Game, it's not that she is made to want you. It's that you are made to be desirable. The basic wife/husband relationship at sites like MMSL is: Be a higher value than she is when it comes to SMV.
Sometimes women leave husbands with good reason, Game and Churchianity aside. Sometimes men leave wives, with good reason, game and Churchianity aside. The vast majority of marriages that end in divorce, though? Someone isn't socio-sexually mature enough for a marriage. In my experience and opinion, people in the US have been babied more and more with each passing generation, and made more to feel their self esteem is the most important thing ever (hence the bathroom photoshoots and bar photoshoots because the world revolves around them). This stunted growth is horribly bad for a long term relationship and tends toward Churchianity -- if any inclination toward God at all.
And Churchianity is bad for marriages. Game is not.
Don't know what this pussy-whipped little gamma boy can offer, except a perspective you do not want to hear. Game gives mastery of...what? The sexual marketplace? You save western civilization by becoming a new Hercules, dominating with your double phallus', club and penis, delivering to women just what they really want deep down in their little pea-picking hearts. But Hercules serves that woman on the pedestal, Athena. Athena worship dominates Greek culture, dominates Plato, Aristotle, Homer, and other Greek philosophers and writers. She also dominates western civilization, Europe and America. How the fuck did you think women got on that pedestal? And yes, Zeus has game. Who in the bible has game? I would start with Samson; what a role model! King David had game. He sure loved the girls. They sang songs about him. His first wife learned to despise him when he exposed himself to the girls, dancing in the street. Of course he justified himself," I was dancing before the Lord". But didn't God command the High Priest to cover himself so as not to expose himself when he ministered to the Lord. Think David didn't know that? I think his luck with game ended with the dumb-as-dirt slut Bathsheba. That nearly cost him his kingdom and his life. Then Solomon, the pinnacle of game in the bible. Of course he admits to a wasted life in Ecclesiastes. Song of Songs is biblical 'game' from both sides. What did you learn from Song that you have instructed the 'true church' concerning game? Did Moses use game? Abraham? Samuel? Elijah or Elisha? Jonah or Joel or Amos? Did Joseph use game to attract Mary? Did Peter, John, James, Thomas, or the other apostles use game so that they might have a rich fulfilling life? Or were they all of some hierarchical group you have not identified? You are going to Reform the Church so that instead of a saint just getting a mansion on a hill, the mansion will have 72 Virgins. Good luck.

How would you respond to GBFM's (a.k.a. lzollzlzol) on you, Vox?
True Christian Women Do Not Need to be Gamed; Dalrock/Vox's Christianity is not the Christianity of Jesus Christ
One of the origins of gynocentrism:
Below are compiled a series of authoritative quotes on the subject. Each points to evidence of the beginnings of sexual feudalism in early Europe, along with other contributing factors such as veneration of the Virgin Mary and its influence on women’s status.
■ H.J. Chaytor, The Troubadours: “In the eleventh century the worship of the Virgin Mary became widely popular; the reverence bestowed upon the Virgin was extended to the female sex in general, and as a vassal owed obedience to his feudal overlord, so did he owe service and devotion to his lady… Thus there was a service of love as there was a service of vassalage, and the lover stood to his lady in a position analogous to that of the vassal to his overlord. He attained this position only by stages; “there are four stages in love: the first is that of aspirant (fegnedor), the second that of suppliant (precador), the third that of recognised suitor (entendedor) and the fourth that of accepted lover (drut).” The lover was formally installed as such by the lady, took an oath of fidelity to her and received a kiss to seal it, a ring or some other personal possession.”
■ C.G. Crump, Legacy of the Middle Ages: “The Aristocracy and Church developed the doctrine of the superiority of women, that adoration which gathered round both the persons both of the Virgin in heaven and the lady upon earth, and which handed down to the modern world the ideal of chivalry. The cult of the Virgin and the cult of chivalry grew together, and continually reacted upon one another… The cult of the lady was the mundane counterpart of the cult of the Virgin and it was the invention of the medieval aristocracy. In chivalry the romantic worship of a woman was as necessary a quality of the perfect knight as was the worship of God… It is obvious that the theory which regarded the worship of a lady as next to that of God and conceived of her as the mainspring of brave deeds, a creature half romantic, half divine, must have done something to counterbalance the dogma of subjection. The process of placing women upon a pedestal had begun, and whatever we may think of the ultimate value of such an elevation (for few human beings are suited to the part of Stylites, whether ascetic or romantic) it was at least better than placing them, as the Fathers of the Church had inclined to do, in the bottomless pit.”

bobbye2, give a definition of "game" so it's clear what you're critiquing.
paul a'barge said...
I would disagree with the quoted post in one regard, though the rest is excellent. PUAs are not merely capitalizing on the fallen nature of woman, they are capitalizing on the way woman is designed. She was not designed to be the leader. This is evidenced in her desire to be led and protected. She also was not designed to be a good decision maker in the open marketplace, especially marriage. This is the reason she goes from father's house to husband's house with no in between.
Evidence of this fact is her "ability" to size up a man in 90 seconds and make a decision about his suitability as a mate--and why she is so very often wrong--and why the PUAs so often work with blatant bravado and neat little tricks. She is so easily deceived. This has been the case from the first one made (not even born).
This is also why the observable reality of Game so well fits with the Biblical design of marriage. When the man assumes the leadership, protector role, she is much better satisfied, naturally. Sin nature also explains why in even the ideal circumstances, one party or the other in a marriage can still sin and screw things up. As Peter said, make sure your persecution/suffering is due to obedience to Christ, not your own sin. Because at least you're suffering not because of your own stupidity.
Feather Blade said...
And Game becomes the next idol, to be held up and venerated until it ceases to deliver the desires of man's eyes and cater to the pride of his life.
Feather,
Observable reality as an idol? Do tell.
I can understand that an undue fixation on it for a purpose other than improving marriage and civilization is approaching some form of frivolity. But idol worship? Again, do tell.
@ standing: History did not begin in Middle Age Europe. Earth-Mother worship is as old as human history itself.
@ Weouro: Defining 'magical words' carries the risk of nullifying the magic. I will be glad to accept your definition which you will be eager to post forthwith.
So you didn't have a definition of "game" in mind when you set up your attack and now you want me to provide one for you after the fact. So anything I say, even though you have no idea what that might be, that's what you meant to attack. This can only mean you're a moron, a troll, or both.
@ Weouro: Magic words and esoteric knowledge. Of course there is no chance of you posting a definition, because then you are stuck with it illuminated one. Prov 16:22, "It is folly to try to instruct a fool"
Conscientia Republicae said...
Bobbye,
Sounds like you're the fool. Weouro, in following Bobbye's (what's up with the "e" on the end of your name? Are you a woman? ) I suggest you leave Bobbye to its own devices.
Don't know what this pussy-whipped little gamma boy can offer, except a perspective you do not want to hear.
Because I don't usually listen to the drunken ramblings of someone who has read too many Cliffnotes on Greek Mythology. In other words:
What in the blue fuck are you talking about dude?
We're not Hercules seeking Athena or someone on a pedestal. Your post makes zero sense.
Who in the bible has game? I would start with Samson; what a role model!
Samson was great until he made the beta mistake of telling that traitorous whore how to make him even more of a beta.
Also, none of your examples are held up as examples by anyone in the Manosphere about how to deal with women now. None of those people had to deal with feminists and the current divorce machine.
Even Christ dumped over some tables sometimes. I'm pretty sure He wouldn't like the current Churchian model very much.
For all his hilarious commentary, when he tries to get serious we see that GBFM is not the Great Thinker he fancies himself. Notice there isn't really a logical argument to be had there, but an array of clumsy rhetorical devices:
#1 - trying to be all kinds of sly by turning the tables and saying Game is just another form of "serving" women. How many wincing gammas make the same claim? And it is an idiotic claim to anyone who actually thinks the whole thing over.
#2 - putting words in the opponents' mouths: the hilarious thing is that rather than trying to resurrect the Christian Soul in the churches, schools, universities, and family court system and reform women, the “Christian men” such as Dalrock & Vox suggest... Totally ignoring the many posts Vox and Dalrock have made regarding those very things.
#3 ridicule by hyperbole: Dalrock and Vox are stating that the teachings of Heartiste are the same as those of Christ...yawn.
#4 guilt by association -- He takes the most titillating of the scumbag actions proposed by some of the Game guys and then infers that Vox/Dalrock are just so cool with that because... it's Game.
He's also making a false dilemma. I mean, what does he propose? That the average chump should just keep on being a chump around women, because that's what God wants? Or is he just saying that men should exercise traditional masculinity and we should live in a society where women's wantonness is controlled via family, law and culture? Exactly where have Vox and Dalrock disagreed with this? We don't have that society, but interestingly, if men *act* like we have that society, women tend to go with it far more than they are willing to admit in public, and this concurs with at least 75% of what is being called "Game". Oops. Guess we'd better throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Where'd all the moronic trolls come from today?
We usually have a better class of trolls on this blog.
Thank you, rycamor. Very well put! I read GMFM's article about Vox and Dalrock and wanted to comment on it myself, but your summary dissection of it is far better than anything I could have come up with. Gotta respect GBFM's contribution to the manosphere for his "Alpha Fux and Beta Bux" axiom, but the man does come across as someone with a mental illness. His straw man attack on Vox and Dalrock with an obscene rewrite of the Sermon on the Mount was just sad. "Blessed are the meek" does not apply to inter-sexual relations, at least not unless the wife is meeker than her husband...a truth being taught by Game but not by the Churchian pastors who want to forget 1 Timothy 3:5- "For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?"
@rycamor:
I quite agree; most of what I read there was a load of rhetorical hogwash. It's also rather amusing that he says we have to emulate Christ/Moses/the patriarchs with nary a word on how exactly. It's akin to saying that watching an expert martial artist and aping his moves will eventually lead to becoming an expert.
cybro said...
Hate to break this to you PUAs but the bible is clear. It's better not to be married or have sexual relations with women unless a man can't control himself. You can make the case that in a way Game is self control but ultimately you are still chasing pussy which the bible says it's better not to do. I happen to agree being the loser that I am.
Good for you, Cybro. Also good for you that your father did what the Bible said it's better not to do, or we wouldn't be blessed with your opinion right now. Jesus and Paul both said that not everyone is given the gift of celibacy, but if you have been, then please move along and let those who haven't work out how to find a wife without selling our souls and future happiness.
Proverbs 18:22 - He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
Booch Paradise said...
Guys, I think you all misunderstand the whole game is just submitting to women argument when you disagree with it. Let me lay it out for you.
1. Women are attracted to manly men.
2. Women like feelings of attraction.
3. To be attractive to women is to give them what they want.
4. It is not manly to give women what they want.
5. To be manly is to give women what they want, and it is unmanly to give women what they want, therefore there is no such thing as manliness.
6. So you certainly couldn't consider commenters like bobbye2 to be any less of a man than any other commenter here, as there is no such thing as masculinity.
Not a fan of Proverbs 18:22 are you cybro.

"Without discovering the red pill of game, I doubt I ever would have came to this realization and recognize this idolatry for what it is, nor broken free from it's ritualistic worship."
You could have saved yourself some trouble and simply refused to attend and subject yourself to feminized Churchianity. My sons and daughters will not be counted among your former lot not because of Game per se, although this helps, but because of biblical doctrine promoted and defended.
His Lordship said...
"Many more believed because of His word; and they were saying to the woman, 'It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.'"
John 4:41-42.
By your reasoning, the men were wrong, and owed a debt of unending gratitude to the Samaritan woman, as well as to reverence her teachings and whitewash her sins.
But you will rationalise what you will.

Pharma of the Future
Creating a New Pharma R&D Ecosystem
Pioneering Pharma of the Future℠ .
Do you feel that? It’s the industry changing. And no one has a finger on the pulse of drug development like our fearless leader Ted Grasela. So we thought, hey, let’s give him an outlet to share his wisdom. And so the Cognigen blog was born. Check back here often for insightful articles, unique views on industry trends, and a whole lot more on the evolution of this critical field.
Global Health Initiative
Envisioned by Cognigen Corporation, a Simulations Plus (Nasdaq:SLP) company, in 2003, the Pharma of the FutureSM (PoF) program was conceived as a research and training initiative to design and implement the workflows and computer systems required to support modeling and simulation (M&S) activities. The numerous M&S projects performed by Cognigen scientists became a source of raw material for research initiatives designed to improve the quality, timeliness, and impact of M&S results. These research initiatives have yielded numerous benefits, including:
Formalized data definitions and data programming requirements that enable the timely delivery of quality data for analysis
A robust informatic infrastructure and computer system which became the foundation for the KIWITM platform
A variety of internally and externally focused training programs to advance the science and technology required for planning, executing, and reporting M&S efforts
Click here for more information about the PoF program.
A historical perspective from Alison Boeckmann
All of us in the pharmacometrics community owe a debt of gratitude to Lewis, Stuart, Alison, and the many others who were involved in the development of NONMEM. The program has proven to be of tremendous value in dealing with the challenges we encounter in pharmaceutical research and development. NONMEM has truly changed the landscape and – really – we are only at the beginning of a new era of model-driven R&D.

Conceptual Schemas
The central focus of MBR&D is not the mathematical equations but rather the conceptual synthesis process that integrates all available information and rational extrapolations to better understand drug pharmacology in the context of the disease process. The outcome of this synthesis process is a conceptual schema, a term borrowed from database design. The schema represents a series of assertions about the nature of the disease process and drug pharmacology. It describes the entities of significance to a research program, their characteristics or attributes, and the relationships between pairs of entities thought to be significant.
History of Pharma of the Future
Pharmacometric modeling and simulation has moved from its infancy as a novel way of approaching the analysis of clinical pharmacokinetic data to become an invaluable tool in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research and development. Early, tentative applications of modeling have given way to robust model-based drug development activities in which pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling and simulation results are widely utilized to improve the probability of successful clinical trials. Pharma of the Future Historical Time Line
The inspiration of great architecture.
“Get the habit of analysis - analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.”
-Frank Lloyd Wright, In Barnes & Noble Book of Quotations, by Robert I. Fitzhenry, 1987.
Our move to new offices.
Extensive planning, dedicated teamwork, mad skills, and a sense of humor result in a successful move to new digs for Cognigen.
Intelligent wondering – investigative clinical pharmacology.
With the use of modeling, explorations of the determinants of drug efficacy and safety are more thorough, and the analyses provide solid support for dose recommendations and labeling content.
An omission, a recommendation, and a prediction.
A report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology gives recommendations that have the audacious goal of doubling, over the next decade, the rate of invention of new medicines for patients, while increasing drug safety.
The drama in drug development.
There is no magic fairy dust that will make a boring, useless, redundant, or merely informative PowerPoint presentation dramatic after it leaves your computer.
Insight. . .Inspiration. . .Innovation
Welcome to 2013. I have much to be grateful for, not the least of which are the relationships we have with one another here at Cognigen and also with our clients.

Alpha fighting UMWA in preparation for asset auction: $500 million stalking horse bid in place
Posted by: BJournal Admin Posted date: April 07, 2016 In: Latest Issue | comment : 0
By Scott Robertson
Bristol, Va.-based mining company Alpha Natural Resources hopes to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy by June 30 after a planned auction of assets, which should net the company $500 million or more in cash. The auction is scheduled to take place May 16.
Alpha announced March 8 it had filed reorganization plan documents in United States Bankruptcy Court, which, together with the planned auction, would provide Alpha the opportunity to address all creditor claims. The company also stated it anticipated being able to emerge as a “streamlined and sustainable reorganized company able to satisfy its environmental obligations on an ongoing basis.” The environmental obligations are key because of a 1986 Supreme Court ruling stating that even in bankruptcy, government-mandated reclamation costs cannot be abandoned.
The company confirmed to The Business Journal, “The plan of recovery and reorganization provides financial support for the smaller restructured Alpha with the primary purpose of fulfilling the reclamation obligations, so some of the remaining unsold mines will continue operating. The plan of reorganization includes funding for the reorganized Alpha as well.”
A major sticking point in the process, however, could be the company’s obligations to United Mine Workers members and their families. Before the sale of the company’s assets can occur, those obligations must be eliminated in some way. Alpha has asked the court to allow it to reject its contracts with the UMWA, stating, “These are all difficult decisions because they impact our people and their families, but they are also necessary actions if Alpha is going to successfully emerge from bankruptcy in the coming months.”
On Aug. 3, 2015, following a disastrous two-to-three-year period in which the coal industry faced unprecedented regulatory headwinds just as its worldwide market began a steep decline, Alpha filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Virginia Richmond Division. The filing listed Alpha’s total assets on a consolidated basis as $10.1 billion, with total debts of $7.1 billion. The five largest creditors listed were all Union Bank of San Franciso, based on five separate senior bond issues due between 2017 and 2021. Those issues range from $263 million to $577 million. The next largest creditor was Wilmington Trust Co., with $109 million in bonds due in 2015. No other creditor was listed at a value greater than $8 million.
Following an examination of Alpha’s assets and debts, on Sept. 17, 2015, the court approved a $300 million credit agreement under which Alpha would continue operations. Part of that agreement was a stipulation that by Jan. 5, 2016, Alpha would provide the United Mine Workers of America a written proposal for settlement of the Labor and Legacy obligations owed by Alpha to UMWA members.
In early December 2015, talks commenced between Alpha and the UMWA. According to docket document 1873, Alpha employs 610 active union members (11 percent of its workforce) and provides benefits for 2,600 retired union members. The company reports spending $52.9 million on healthcare benefits for the union employees in 2015, inclusive of approximately $17.8 million for the active union employees and $35.1 million for the retired union employees. In addition, the company says it owes Labor and Legacy Obligations to approximately 2,200 family members of living and deceased union-member employees.
On Jan. 4, 2016, Alpha provided a written proposal to the UMWA regarding possible settlement. Three weeks later the UMWA had filed 300 separate requests for further information from Alpha.
In the meantime, Alpha continued working with its creditors to establish a path out of Chapter 11. On Feb. 8, 2016, Alpha filed docket document 1464, seeking permission to hold an auction of its salable assets, with the major lenders providing a reserve, or “stalking horse” bid of $500 million.
Details of the auction were listed in the document, including the possibility of the sale of assets beyond those listed in the stalking horse bid (the stalking horse bid assets are listed on page 18 of this issue). “Anyone could bid on any one or all of the assets,” the company confirms, though with caveats based on bid requirements, qualifications and other determinations.
On March 8, 2016, Alpha released a statement saying it has filed a reorganization plan based on the auction of its core operating assets. Despite the fact that Alpha will be forced to auction off its core assets, CEO Kevin Crutchfield was upbeat in his assessment that the company will be able to do more than just meet its reclamation obligations when it emerges from Chapter 11.
“By leveraging core assets for sustainable productivity, while addressing the stewardship obligations of our remaining properties,” Crutchfield said, “these filings represent an important step in our effort to effectively restructure the company and emerge from Chapter 11 better positioned to meet new market realities. While markets continue to be challenged in the near term, we firmly believe that coal’s role as a vital fuel source for electricity generation and steel production is secure for the foreseeable future, both here and around the world.”
The next day, the UMWA provided Alpha its own written Labor and Legacy settlement proposal, which the company said the union described as a “take it or leave it” proposition. Alpha estimated the union proposal would achieve only $2 million of the $60 million in labor cost savings the company needs.
On March 28, 2016, the company asked the court to intervene in the negotiations with the UMWA in order to allow the restructuring to proceed. The company said it must achieve cost savings of $200 million in order to maintain operations for the restructuring to be successful, with $60 million of that to come from cost savings related to union employees.
The company further said the stalking horse auction cannot proceed subject to Labor and Legacy Obligations, nor can the company carry the debts following the sale. The assets to be sold in the stalking horse auction constitute the salable assets the company now possesses, it said. The remaining assets, dubbed the reclamation assets, are unsalable. They will be retained, and, where practical, operated by the company for the principal purpose of conducting reclamation activities. The company said in docket document 1873, “There is no realistic scenario in which the Reclamation Assets could support the ongoing payment of the Labor and Legacy Obligations. Thus, they must be eliminated.”
Projected dates:
Labor and Legacy hearing:
April 12 or April 19
Bid deadline for stalking horse auction: May 9
Auction: May 16
Approval of bids: May 26
Emergence from Chapter 11: June 30

South Africa Defeats Australia in Second Cricket Test
-- From Wikinews Sunday, January 4, 2009
South Africa convincingly beat Australia by 9 wickets in the second cricket test being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It was the first time Australia has been beaten on home soil since 1992 when the West Indies beat Australia by 2-1 in the five match series. It was a see-sawing game that had both teams appear to be on top at times and only hours later struggling. The turning point came late on day three when Jean-Paul Duminy solidified the South African innings going on to eventually make a personal high score of 166. His partnership of 180 with Dale Steyn, who was dropped three times, became a frustration to Australia.
Australia commenced proceedings and was eventually dismissed for 394 in its first innings. The innings finally ended in the first session of day two when Peter Siddle was caught in second slip by de Villiers of a thick edge from a Kallis seamer. It was a sound score after Australia again started slowly losing Mathew Hayden for 8 when the score was 21 continuing a run of bad scores for Hayden this year.
Captain Ricky Ponting again was the mainstay of the innings with a hard fought century, finally falling to a catch by Amla of Paul Harris. This was Pontings 38th century and now only three behind Sachin Tendulkar world record. Middle order batsman Michael Clarke struggled early with slow scoring and remained not out on 88 of a 208 balls including only four boundaries and a solitary six for Clarke.
South African speedster Dale Steyn again proved his ranking as worlds second best bowler taking five wickets including Simon Katich and Michael Hussey. In the second day morning session he removed Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson in the same over before taking his final wicket of Nathan Hauritz.Steyne finished with 5 for 87 and was well supported by Ntini (2/108) with Kallis, Harris and Morkel each taking one.
South Africa's run chase hit trouble with the loss of early wickets in its first innings. The trouble started when Neil McKenzie was bowled by Peter Siddle for a duck in the second over of the day. Amla showed some early promise before playing a loose shot to be caught by Andrew Symonds of the bowling of Mitchell Johnson in the eighth over. South African veteran Jaques Kallis provided support for Smith to carry the score to 109 before being caught behind of Hauritz.
Returning from the lunch break Australia took control with three quick wickets in nine overs. First to go was Smith caught behind of Siddle who was gaining in confidence. Only Smith managed to assert control scoring 62 from 113 balls, he has been the mainstay of the South African batting line-up this tour scoring strongly in each innings. Soon after de villiers and Boucher's wickets fell leaving South Africa 6-141 still trailing Australia by more than 250 runs and attempting to avoid the follow-on.
In the final session middle order players Morne Morkel and Jean-Paul Duminy steadying the innings with partnership of 43 before Morkel was bowled by Johnson in his first ball of a new spell. Paul Harris joined Duminy and remained unbeaten on 8 at the close of play. South Africa finished the second day of play at 7/198 with Duminy the last of the recognized batters unbeaten on 34. Australia clearly held the advantage with a lead of almost 200 and only three wickets remaining.
Day three would change the shape of the game with strong, determined batting from South Africa combined with lackluster bowling from Australia. Harris was out early on day three which brought pace bowler Dale Steyn to the wicket. His 76 of 191 balls was another personal best and despite being dropped three times looked every part the batsman.Duminy had total control of the bowlers and with Lee sitting on the sideline with suspected stress fractures of his heel, the bowling attack was limited and struggling. His innings of over seven hours included 340 balls, 18 boundaries , took the score from 6-141 to all out for 459, a lead of 65 runs. The falls of Duminys wicket late on day three meant Australia was required to face a tough three overs to close the day.
Australia began the fourth day with the goal of wiping out the deficit from their first innings and then set a target for South Africa to chase. Those plans quickly changed when Australia's opening combination of Hayden and Katich again failed with Hayden being caught by man of the moment Duminy on 23 from the bowling of Steyn. Katich fell two overs later and when Hussey was dismissed for only two in the 15th over Australia was in trouble and defending grimly at 3-49. First innings century maker, Ricky Ponting, and Michael Clarke steadied Australia and took the score to 145 when Clarke became Steyn's third wicket for the innings. Symonds, Haddin and Lee fell in quick succession with Australia reeling at 7-180 and only Ponting providing resistance. Ponting eventually fell for 99 having struggled through the nineties and then seemingly "choked" on an easy ball that should have brought up his century. Mitchell Johnson atoned for his first innings duck and supported Ponting well and continued his aggressive approach to finish on 43. Hauritz and Siddle offered little resistance and Australia was all out for 247 a lead of only 182 and more than a days play remaining.
Graeme Smith commenced the run chase with his usual aggression making striking boundaries at will and finishing the days play at 25 after only six overs. Smith continued the same approach the following morning taking a total of ten boundaries in his score of 75 from only 95 balls. He had taken South Africa to a winning position and needing only 61 runs to win a historic test series. Neil McKenzie and Hashim Amla confidently closed the game finishing on 1-183 from only 48 overs.
For Australia the pain was magnified with key players Symonds and Lee unlikely to take further part in the series due to injury and should Australia lose the last test in Sydney they would not only lose the world number one spot, they would fall to number three behind India with the Protea's taking top place. The final game will be played in Sydney on the 3rd January.

Russian Workers Rap Against Sanctions, Protest at U.S. Envoy’s Residence
Factory workers from U.S. sanctions-hit van maker GAZ performed an anti-sanctions rap song and staged a picket outside the U.S. Embassy in Moscow during its July Fourth celebration.
Workers from GAZ’s Yaroslavl factory had this week filmed a music video for the anti-sanctions song, which uses the beat from rapper Coolio’s 1990s hit “Gangsta’s Paradise.” In the song, the workers plead: “Is there anyone who will hear us? Save GAZ! Come to the rescue of the working class. Save GAZ!
On July Fourth, 50 people rallied on behalf of GAZ Group’s 40,000-strong workforce in front of Spaso House, the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Moscow.
“On this day, we call on you not to deprive us, Russian workers, of the right to independence, right to work and to grow professionally and the right to a future,” they wrote in a petition to Ambassador Jon Huntsman.
“If the sanctions come in full force, we will lose our foreign suppliers. This will bring production lines to a stop leaving us jobless,” they said.
Tycoon Oleg Deripaska and his van maker GAZ were slapped with sanctions over his alleged connection to Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and other “malign activities.”
Earlier this year, GAZ asked the government for a 30 billion ruble ($468 million) bailout because it claimed the sanctions could slash production by almost 40 percent in the second half of 2019.
The U.S. Treasury has given investors until Nov. 8 to divest from GAZ, meaning Deripaska could lower his stake and allow the company to be removed from the sanctions list.

Cancer cure breakthrough? Docs find common cold can kill tumour cells
By Brooke Harris
The common cold virus could cure cancer, scientists say, as a "revolutionary" treatment was found to eradicate the disease in a week.
Researchers from University of Surrey in the United Kingdom investigated the safety and tolerability of exposure to the oncolytic ('cancer-killing') virus coxsackievirus (CVA21), a naturally occurring strain of the common cold, in 15 patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
In this study, 15 patients with the disease were given the cancer-killing coxsackievirus (CVA21) through a catheter one week before surgery to remove their tumours. Examinations of tissue samples post-surgery showed that the CVA21 had marked and aggressively attacked cancer cells within the bladder, but had conveniently left healthy cells alone.
The common cold could be used to kill off cancer cells in patients with bladder cancer, new research suggests. "Reduction of tumor burden and increased cancer cell death was observed in all patients, and removed all trace of the disease in one patient following just one week of treatment, showing its potential effectiveness", Pandha said, adding, "Notably, no significant side-effects were observed in any patient".
Study leader Prof Hardev Pandha from the University of Surrey and Royal Surrey County Hospital, said: "The virus gets inside cancer cells and kills them by triggering an immune protein - and that leads to signalling of other immune cells to come and join the party".
The authors of the study believe that this method of treatment of bladder cancer, which is not accompanied by serious side effects, may become a new word in oncology.
Bladder cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in men with over 61, 000 new cases and around 13,000 deaths reported this year, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Tumours of this kind in the bladder are generally referred to by medical practioners as "cold", and thus invisible to the immune system, but the introduction of the CVA21 virus appears to switch them to a "hot" reading, making the body's natural defenses react in a positive way.

Then the 170 countries and regions in which we now operate would stop buying our products, and our company would collapse. Interestingly enough, Hongmeng OS sounds quite like Google's Fuschia and Microsoft's WCOS- one OS to rule them all.
Constant, costly monitoring is needed to check cancer has not returned after treatment. So far, existing treatments pose a number of problems to the patients.
Researchers plan on conducting another trial with more patients that couples the common cold virus with a targeted immunotherapy drug, known as a checkpoint inhibitor, which stops the immune system from attacking cancer cells.
The op also has a high tumour progression rate between 10%-20% over a period of two to five years.
"In a similar vein, fellow researcher Nicola Annels said, "[CVA21] could signal a move away from more established treatments such as chemotherapy".
Dr Mark Linch, from Cancer Research UK, said: "Although at an early stage, these initial results are encouraging".
Incidents of bladder cancer are worse in Scotland than the rest of the United Kingdom, with 870 diagnoses in 2016 - 50 men and 290 women - with a higher proportion of women in particular.

French Parliament Passes Tax Law on Tech Giants Amid US Investigation
By Oscar Underwood
US President Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into France's planned tax on internet and technology giants.
"The United States is very concerned that the digital services tax which is expected to pass the French Senate tomorrow unfairly targets American companies", U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer said in a statement. The section 301 investigation, which is being run by the USA trade representative's office, has said it will hold hearings to allow for public comment on the French tax issue for several weeks before issuing a final report.
"The President has directed that we investigate the effects of this legislation and determine whether it is discriminatory or unreasonable and burdens or restricts United States commerce".
The measure was initially adopted by the lower house on July 4.
The lawmakers included a suggestion to use a section of the tax code that would double the rate of USA taxes on French citizens and companies in the U.S.
Finance ministers and central bankers at a Group of Seven meeting in Chantilly, France next week will discuss global taxation and competition and the digital economy. The measure would levy a 3 percent tax on certain revenue that major tech companies earn in France.
Arsenal star refuses to join club on USA tour
It appears there will be opportunities for a number of young players, including new teenage signing Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny has refused to travel to the United States with the rest of the squad for pre-season.
But French economy minister Bruno Le Maire France rejected the U.S. reaction on Thursday, saying "threats" were not the way to resolve such disputes. Currently, the companies pay almost no tax in countries like France where they have large sales. Le Maire warned in December that his country would start taxing tech giants at a national level if European Union countries couldn't agree on a joint tax on digital revenues.
Any digital company with a revenue of more than 750 million euros - of which at least 25m is made in France - would be subject to the tax.
The French government says the tax does not specifically target USA companies and will affect European and Asian firms as well.
"By attempting to unilaterally overtax American players, Bruno Le Maire has triggered a trade war that penalizes French technology today and will penalize tomorrow many sectors that make the French economy successful, including wine, automobiles and luxury", ASIC president Giuseppe de Martino said. Trump's threat to impose a tariff of as much as 25% on European auto exports has cast a cloud over the negotiations as well. The decision comes after Washington launched a probe into the tax.
"Between allies, I believe we can and must resolve our differences in another way than through threats", he said during his address to the French Senate in the run-up to the vote.

Special Affairs Team TEN 2 - Episode 12 (Final)
'Is he dead? No, he can't be. But ... this is TEN, we're talking about. He could very well be dead. He could be. But they wouldn't do this to us! Or would they?! Is there a 3rd season? Do we know who's in it?! Gaaaaaah, save me!' These kinda questions and thoughts went through my head, after I watched Episode 11 raw and had to wait a whole week for the final episode (also raw). I must say, it was torture. But now, it is here ... the end of the end. It gives us closure, in a good way (and I am glad it is not a cliffhanger like the cliffhanger after Season 1), but it also opens up the next chapter, in a good way. It is terrifying, it is heart breaking, it is very sad - but it is also hopeful, sweet, and full of warmth. What a ride!
박민호 납치사건 Part 2 - Park Min-ho's Kidnapping
Yeo Teamchang-nim, standing on a rooftop at night, narrates: "Once again, I couldn't save him. All this pain ... it started because of me. And it is growing because of me. How can I end this disaster?" And he looks at the moon, full of pain.
Outside of Seoul, a search team is looking for Min-ho or at least traces of him, in the area where the shots were heard. They're not coming up with anything and Do-shik can't take it any longer ... he squats down behind one of the bushes and sobs. Hard. I can take a lot, but seeing this ahjussi cry like that?! It's too much ..... :(
Ye-ri is at the bunker office, looking at pictures of Min-ho. She imagines him sitting behind herself, on one of the office chairs. The Min-ho ghost tenderly says how much she has aged in a year ... but no matter whether they must die tomorrow, they should smile today, so that they will have happy memories in death. And he shows her how to smile: like this. This just completely killed me and I am now sobbing like Do-shik. Thanks, show.
But of course, he is not there, and Ye-ri turns away, the apparition gone, tears streaming down her face. She now understands why he (Yeo Ji-hoon) was investigating F, she says to herself ... and she now also understands the feelings of revenge he must have (had).
Yeo Ji-hoon is speaking to a room full of highly decorated police officers. The case is now his. And he tells them that he and his decimated team will focus their energy on catching the rogue police officer, the kidnapper (Ji Jin-hyuk) - who has been falsely accused of murder in one case and then murdered dear Min-ho. And he assures them: he will find all the people that are to blame for Min-ho's death. Each and everyone of them. Yikes, I get chills down my spine... And so do the high-ups in the room, because what he is saying is this: watch out, you corrupt people. We will get you. And he ends by saying something very depressing: This is the Special Investigation Team TEN's last will.
라스트 쿼터 - Last Quarter
Oh yes. Ji-hoon isn't being nice anymore; he is damn angry, and shady Ma Suk-gi (the cop that interrupted the meet-up with Jin Ji-hyuk by shooting at him and thereby causing Min-ho's death in episode 11), who sits in one of the TEN Team's glass cubicles, gets the full brunt of that. Ji-hoon storms into the room, kicks Ma Suk-gi's chair over and starts beating him up. He demands to know why Ma Suk-gi wants Ji Jin-hyuk dead so much. Why? Because of this ... Ma Suk-gi pulls out a cell phone, with a text message on it. It reads: "Please save me". And it is ... from Ryu Mi-ho (the crown witness who is currently missing).
Ye-ri is talking to Mi-ho's friend, the one with the weird hair, at a bar. So the last text that Ryu Mi-ho sent was to that detective? Yes indeed, the friend says. And we get a flashback, in which Ma Suk-gi is meeting the friend in that bar. The friend tells him that Mi-ho ran away with some money. He demands to know why they didn't contact him earlier, but the friend says Mi-ho did not want any cops involved. That is why she introduced her to a prosecutor, one that has helped her before, when she was on probation. She now thinks that was a mistake ... because she lost all contact with her, after another (unknown) cop/detective took her.
Ye-ri, who is now at Ma Suk-gi's house, looks at fun pictures of the missing girl, the barkeeper friend, and Ma Suk-gi. He pinned them to his fridge. He is 48 and single, a normal cop for 24 years ... there is nothing out of the ordinary. She snoops around, and opens one of the books on his nightstand. Ryu Mi-ho wrote something inside of it: "This is good for insomnia". In another room, Ma Suk-gi has a wall full of evidence in relation to Ryu Mi-ho's disappearance. He has been looking for ever since she disappeared. Are we to believe he is a good guy?
In the TEN Team's office, Ma Suk-gi tells Ji-hoon about her. She is only 18, such a young girl. And he starts to cry. He calls Ji Jin-hyuk a bastard that he should have killed when he had the chance. What is he implying here? Abuse? We know that Mi-ho worked in a night club. No, it seems to be murder! Ah, they think Jin-hyuk killed her. And Ma Suk-gi, who suddenly looks like a grief-stricken victim, is saying that it is killing him, having to look for her body. And Ji-hoon, referring to his own sad past, says, more to himself than to the weird cop: "There is a time for revenge. If you miss it, everything becomes much more complicated". But before the two can discuss anything more, suited guys come to pick Ma Suk-gi up. They're from the prosecutor's office - and they have the orders to take the guy with them.
Do-shik is following up on the Lee Byung-man's host bar connection. Jin-hyuk, who was basically Byung-man's lap dog, suddenly changed his behavior, one guy tells him, acting high and mighty, as if he owned everything. That was probably a week ago. And then, Byung-man started raising a rather large sum of money (500'000$). Do-shik shakes some more trees and finds out that Ji Jin-hyuk was about to leave the country - but he suddenly disappeared and never picked up his passport and tickets. Do-shik becomes weary ... this seems like something much bigger than he first suspected.
Ye-ri enters Lee Byung-man's house. He knew he was being investigated by Internal Affairs and he was very careful. So his call history is clean, except for Ji Jin-hyuk's unregistered phone. But ... there is something else, Ye-ri discovers, a lot of phone calls to (and some from) an unknown, short number.
Ji-hoon is in a man's office. He promises him everything, all the investment records, everybody ever involved with Lee Byung-man. Is he at the prosecutors'? I guess so. The man asks him what he wants in return. He wants the girl, Ryu Mi-ho and the killer, Ji Jin-hyuk, Ji-hoon says. Does he have the evidence that Ji Jin-hyuk killed that girl? the maybe-prosecutor wants to know - because they really tried to find something, but came up with nothing. The only thing they did find out was that there was a kill order for her at a "murder agency" (I'm guessing that's a place that kills people for money), but there's nothing to see there, they checked. The place has been abandoned. But Ji-hoon knows better: finding out what you can't see is already helpful.
He goes to the fake headquarters of the "Murder Agency" with that guy he exchanged information with on the roof-top in episode 11. Also a prosecutor, I guess. The guy repeats that looking for clues here is useless, they never leave any evidence, these kind of people. They closed everything down after killing an 18year old (or so it seems). But the prosecutor says that something is strange about the whole thing: Whenever Byung-man had somebody killed, he usually sent them away to a different country. So why did he have this girl killed in Korea?
Autopsy Lady calls! That's always a highlight (she is one of my girl crushes). She tells her ex-lover that Lee Byung-man has a scar on his forehead. Somebody seems to have hit him with something. So she called the hospital that treated him and found out that they removed glass splinters from a bottle that somebody smashed over his head. That was a week ago.
Do-shik, who is riding a taxi, asks somebody at forensics whether anybody else's fingerprints were discovered at Ji Jin-hyuk's house. No, forensics says, only Ji Jin-hyuk's, but all of them were "ruined" - somebody wearing gloves was there, too. Huh. interesting ... Do-shik recapitulates... the murder at the bar happened at 1am. Ji Jin-hyuk went home straight away. The investigation team followed. Three hours later, the police went to the site. The unknown person with the gloves must have used the time in between to go in and find something. But what? And ... who was it?
Ji-hoon calls to let Do-shik know that something is very fishy. Something bigger is going on. Oh yes, Do-shik agrees because he has been thinking along the exact same lines. He thinks that Ji Jin-hyuk had some special knowledge about a weakness of Byung-man's. Byung-man was raising money to get whatever Jin-hyuk had - but before they could exchange money, the murder happened. What is worth 500'000$? As soon as the murder happened, Jin-hyuk kidnapped Min-ho, to force them to reveal the real killer. Seeing that he killed him now means ... he has other means to get out of this: whatever Byung-man was so desperately after!
Ye-ri is following up on the unidentified number on the call history and finds out that those calls Byung-man made were about a missing cell phone of his. The lady at the phone shop tells Ye-ri that they did find the phone after two days, but he never came to pick it up. What ... he called every hour to ask for the phone, but when they found it, he didn't come to pick it up? The woman at the phone shop says he may not have come because the SIM card was missing. Where was the phone found, Ye-ri wants to know. It was in the same area that Mi-ho's house is in! And Lee Byung-man lost the phone right before she went missing.
The TEN Team meets on a parking lot to put the pieces of the puzzle on the table. Or the concrete. Alright, here we go: There is Lee Byung-man's lost phone. Ryu Mi-ho stealing his money and going missing. Lee Byung-man being hit by a bottle. All of these things happened early last week.
Ye-ri suspects that Mi-ho stole Byung-man's phone and took the SIM card out near her house (and I guess, though they never say, she was the one hitting him with the bottle). That SIM card ... it's the key! The girl was trying to bring that into the prosecutor's office. But Ji Jin-hyuk intercepted it, and tried to make a deal with Byung-man after. But ... why did he kidnap Min-ho instead of just using the information on the SIM card? Hmm .... maybe he didn't have the SIM card when he was running away? is Ji-hoon's guess. That is why he came back to Seoul, Do-shik thinks, to find it. And it is still not found ... guessing from the prints in Jin-hyuk's house.
Ji-hoon smiles his dangerous smile and says: The SIM card is his key to live - and for someone else, it's key for survival. All they need to do now is find it. Where could it be? Ye-ri says ... it wasn't in the house .... but it is most likely in his car!
Alright! Ji-hoon calls somebody in the police and asks where Jin-hyuk's car is right now. It's in a parking garage. Ye-ri wants to request a backup team, but Ji-hoon stops her. If he sees police, he will run away for sure. At this very moment, police-helper woman calls: they have got a report that the suspect entered Seoul. CCTV ftw! Off they rush.
추적자들 - Pursuers
The TEN team is waiting for Ji Jin-hyuk to show up at his car's location. Ji-hoon is in his car outside, Do-shik is waiting in a car on the same parking level as Jin-hyuk's car, and Ye-ri is in the control room. They wait ... when suddenly, Ye-ri spots him on one of the cameras! He is coming!
The culprit is about to enter the parking complex, when he spots Ji-hoon's reflection in the glass door. And ... he bolts and runs! Ji-hoon is following after, running like the devil. Run, Ji-hoon, run!!!! Do-shik gets out of the car, runs up the stairs outside, and joins the chase. But ... waitaminute! Someone else has entered the garage and gets Jin-hyuk's car out! Ye-ri, who was standing at the window to get a glimpse of the chase, just sees how the car leaves. Ji-hoon and Do-shik stop dead when she yells "somebody is taking the car" through the radio and then, they split up. Do-shik runs back to the parking garage, Ji-hoon continues to go after Jin-hyuk.
Do-shik is positioning himself on the ramp, revolver drawn, ready to stop the car and the one that is in it.
But, instead of shooting, he just freezes, eyes and mouth wide open. The car swerves around him and gets away. What has he seen?
Ji-hoon is still in hot pursuit of Jin-hyuk and is catching up. He is almost upon him, when the driver of Jin-hyuk's car, who appears behind them, honks the horn. Ji-hook slows down and pulls his gun out, points it at the car and the driver ... and freezes. In the car is nobody else but ... Min-ho. Min-ho! Park Min-ho!!!!!
Jin-hyuk gets into the car hurriedly and they drive off together. Ji-hoon comes to his senses after a few seconds of utter dumbfoundedness and runs after them. He is joined by Do-shik. They run and run, but it's pointless, the car disappears from their view. They give up.
Underneath the tree where Min-ho was shot (dead, as we thought, but not really dead, as we now know), a police officer finds something. It is bloody bandages and Min-ho's ID tag ... but no body.
형사 박민호 - Detective Park Min-ho
Bloody hell, Park Min-ho is alive! He is currently driving his kidnapper around, who says he has nowhere to go. The conversation seems rather friendly, but Min-ho looks terrible, all beaten-up and bloodied. And we get to see the flashback ... Jin-hyuk raises his weapon underneath the tree, he fires! But he only shoots Min-ho in the left arm. Min-ho is writhing in pain on the ground. And he gets a choice: either help the rogues cop or die.
The TEN Team is in the parking garage. Of course they are very happy to know that Mi-ho isn't dead. But they also don't really get what is going on. They are certain, however, that Min-ho was not in danger as long as his kidnapper did not have the SIM card ... but ... oh no! He has it now, no?! Don't torture us again, show!
We see that Min-ho and his kidnapper have gotten to a remote, rural area. The kidnapper gets out and opens the trunk. He orders Min-ho to help him with something. Poor Min-ho, with his bandaged hand ... :( And when he goes there and starts to lift some boxes out, Ji Jin-hyuk comes up behind him and smashes him across the head with a stone. Careful there, man! It's Min-ho's head!!! The kidnapper gets back into the car, and drives away.
Ye-ri and Do-shik get to another rural area ... oh no, it's Jin-hyuk's car! It is empty, and Do-shik slams the trunk shut in frustration, cursing the damn bastard. They worry aloud about why the guy is still dragging Min-ho around, when Do-shik's phone rings ... but it's not his, it's Min-ho's that he is carrying around in one of his pockets! It is a video message! And a life-feed. It shows Min-ho, tied up, unconscious. It is the kidnapper who says to stop chasing him and saving their colleague. The camera is on 70%. Ye-ri immediately knows that this gives them about 2 hours. Only. Hurry!
Do-shik is on the phone with Yeo Ji-hoon. They have located Min-ho and are on their way. What about him? Ji-hoon is following the prosecutors around, who are after Jin-hyuk. He says he'll try that approach, maybe it will be faster. They are worried, because Min-ho seems to be bleeding a lot.
유령 - Ghost
The prosecutors are driving to an abandoned amusement park. Ji-hoon is behind them. He parks his car outside and follows them on foot. It's very dark and I find it a bit freaky to be honest. I've always hated abandoned amusement parks... Suddenly, a shot rings! The prosecutors get out of the car and run, and Ji-hoon starts to run, too. But he stops, because he notices somebody walking away.
He is thinking for a minute about what to do ... but then, he gets his gun out and follows the suspicious figure. Soon, the ground turns to mud. Ji-hoon walks cautiously through the dark. It is TOO dark for my taste and I'm bracing myself for somebody or something to jump on him, but nada. Nothing jumps, nothing comes and he finds nothing. So he goes up the roof, where the shots came from. The prosecutors are standing next to a body ... the internal affairs people, including Ma Suk-gi, come up the stairs on the other side at the same time.
F me ... it's Ji Jin-huyk. Very dead. Ma Suk-gi shakes the body violently, demanding to know where his Mi-ho is. His colleagues drag him off. Ji-hoon looks at the body carefully and notices a car key next to it. And a small coin. And he thinks to himself: "The ghost came by".
Ye-ri and Do-shik arrive at the place where the video-signal comes from ... a vast area full of shipping containers. Oh shoot. They shout Park Min-ho's name over and over and staring running. Ye-ri calls for back-up. Smart move, woman.
Yeo Ji-hoon is rushing there, too, with his sirens on. He is thinking to himself in the car:
"Revenge is a humane act. If you have no feelings, revenge won't exist. Neither will sadness nor madness. Just a cold metal. And that is ... a ghost."
Back-up arrives, sirens howling. Do-shik intercepts everyone and shouts to pay attention. All the guns go into this trunk here! The internal affairs people, who are also there, object, but Do-shik says: he doesn't trust anybody, especially not those with a police badge. Somebody could stupidly shoot. And they all put their guns into Ye-ri's car's trunk.
And off they go to search for Min-ho again. It still seems fruitless. Ye-ri sees on the phone that the battery is almost out on phone that is transmitting the video ... and then, the screen goes blank. Damn! But Ye-ri has a brilliant idea ... she kills the central power, and the whole container area goes pitch black. They need to find the container with lights coming out! The video was brightly lit, so there needs to be artificial light in that container. And there it is. They've found it. And they have found him ... Min-ho.
He comes to as Do-shik calls his name and gently hits him on the cheek. Ye-ri is really worried about the blood loss, but Min-ho is still able to joke around. And then, he says: Do you know what all the fuss was about? This! And he pulls the SIM card out of his pocket.
He had a feeling that Jin-hyuk had something big hidden in his car. And in a flashback, we see that Min-ho observed Jin-hyuk shaking his car keys and listening to something rattle inside. When he got the chance, he quickly removed it (the SIM card) from inside the key and replaced it with a small coin. Awesome Min-ho!
They move him out of the container on a stretcher and want to put him in the ambulance ... when two special investigation people, including Ma Suk-gi, step in their way. They inform them that Ji Jin-hyuk is dead - and that they need a word with Park Min-ho. Do-shik tells them to bug off, don't they see he needs treatment as soon as possible? But Ma Suk-gi insists: and rides with Min-ho and Do-shik in the ambulance.
He asks Min-ho whether Ji Jin-hyuk talked about Mi-ho, but Min-ho says no. Suddenly, the brakes screech and the ambulance hits something! What the hell is going on?! Do-shik tells them to be quiet. He knew this was going to happen ... it is the ghost. The people who are after that SIM card. There are sounds outside, and Do-shik tells Ma Suk-gi to stay in the car and leaves. Ma Suk-gi draws his gun. We hear shots outside!
But Ma Suk-gi is more interested in Min-ho then anything that is happening outside all of a sudden. He asks him what that thing is he has? It's a SIM card! Min-ho replies. So you have it with you? the cop says, and Min-ho nods and pulls it out. And Ma Suk-gi points his revolver at Min-ho's head. Give it to me, he demands, several times, until Min-ho concurs. Ma Suk-gi puts the SIM card into his mouth and destroys it with his teeth. Then he chuckles a bit and says: "Life is always like this. When everything seems right, something goes wrong".
And he pulls the trigger!
Click. Just click. He looks at his useless weapon, dumbfounded, while Min-ho knocks at the side of the ambulance. The doors are opened and outside stand ... the awesome TEN team, including the yummiest Detective on the planet, Yeo Ji-hoon. Gotcha, idiot.
Finally, the ghost appeared, Ji-hoon says. And we see what tipped him off: Ma Suk-gi's incredibly dirty shoes, up on that rooftop with Jin-hyuk's body. And we also see that Ji-hoon and Do-shik spoke on the phone, when they were loading Min-ho onto the stretcher. Afterwards, Do-shik went to the car and took all the bullets out of Ma Suk-gi's revolver.
And while they handcuff Ma Suk-gi, we get another flashback, this time of the murder at the bar establishment. He orders them to take off their clothes, and when they don't comply right away, he shoots into the floor next to his foot. And then, he shoots the two people. And wipes some blood off his shoe with a cloth. Then, he randomly shot other stuff, to make it look like an amateur job. In the next flashback scene, some thugs drag Ryu Mi-ho in, while he pretends to have gotten a text from her with the plea to save her.
In the last flashback scene, we are on the amusement park rooftop, when Jin-hyuk realizes that there only is a small penny inside the key. He tells Ma Suk-gi he can get the real item for him again, but Ma Suk-gi just shoots him, without even flinching. He is the ghost. Cold as metal.
고잉홈 - Going Home
A news item informs us that 40 police officers have been taken into custody. Though we are not told, I believe the information on the SIM card was about this: corruption in the police force. The who, the what, the how. Byung-man was hoping to buy himself free with it, but Ryu Mi-ho stole it from him (including the money), to buy herself a nice life. Before she could bring it to the prosecutors, though, Ji Jin-hyuk got it from her, and also hoped to be able to cash in on it.
The Boss-Boss-Boss is in the conference room with Boss-Boss and tells him, that sometimes you also throw away valuable things when you clean up, not only trash. Yes, he will have to resign. "No matter how smart the dog is, if he doesn't know the owner, he is useless". And he tells Boss-Boss to hold the fort ... I guess he will be the next Boss-Boss-Boss ... he smiles happily to himself. Or is it creepy? Hmmm .... he thinks to himself: "It's not about recognizing the owner ... I never had an owner to begin with".
At the bunker office, Min-ho is packing stuff into boxes. He finds Product Placement in his desk ... It's wonderful new running shoes and a note from the police helper woman, telling him not to get hurt anymore. And in walks Min-ho's dad. Min-ho is as surprised as I am and asks what he is doing here. His father says he was just thinking about him and was wondering how he was doing. Is he alright? (uhm, Dad of Min-ho ... don't you see the bloody bruises on his face and his arm in the sling?!) He will be fine, says Min-ho, though the world is a little scary. But what about him? And his father says ... well, he thinks he will be fine from now on, too. Because he has a good son.
Ji-hoon hands in his resignation and wants to say his goodbyes. So he is really going? Boss-Boss asks, there is so much unfinished business. Ji-hoon says he'll make a new team anyway, even without them. But he better lower his standards, because he will not easily find people as good as them. And they smile at each other amiably.
It is time for the final good-bye. The team is waiting in the office for their boss, well, ex-boss. He walks in, and looks at all of them.
They don't say a word for a while, until Yeo Ji-hoon says the team is disbanded. They are no longer useful to him. When he made the team, he had goals, but they are no longer important. And stop making these upset faces, he tells them, he is getting tired of it. You gruff little teddy bear, you.
Well, your face was never full of happiness, either, Do-shik says. Everybody smiles a little and I miss them already, really, really hard. Ji-hoon tells them to go back to their old selves, their old lives. But please delete all the phone numbers of each other - he doesn't want any drunk phone calls. Okay, they'll promise not to get in contact with each other after this day, says Do-shik: but let's take a picture together. They look uncomfortable and stiff, but when the police helper woman counts to one-two-three, Do-shik just grabs Ji-hoon and Ye-ri into a hug, while Min-ho leans over and smiles.
They step outside, standing around a bit awkward, not quite sure what to say to each other in their final moment, when suddenly, it starts pouring. Hard. All of them run for cover, into different directions. And from their different positions, through the rain, they nod, wave and smile at each other - and it is absolutely heart breaking.
And Yeo Ji-hoon hangs his head and covers his eyes, most keenly feeling the loss of this team ... and maybe already regretting his choice.
Yeo Ji-hoon is visiting the false-F in prison. The two men stare at each other, wordless. Like every time. Ji-hoon half-smiles. He gets up and leaves.
A prisoner gets released. He has been in prison for eight years ... a very civil man, a voice comments. So why was he inside? He killed a man, very violently, somebody else says. A normal man, with wife and kids. And the mysterious prisoner steps outside the prison walls. He is standing in the sun, looking around, quietly. His face is all shadows.
Final Thoughts and the Very End
Here we are. It's the end. I am sad it is, but I am glad that nobody I really cared for died. But ... the team is no longer. Why did Yeo Ji-hoon decide to hand in his resignation? This whole season was about him coming to terms with his past. He chooses not to kill Song Kyung-tae on that bridge and he does not become "a ghost". He stays human. And suffers on. Remember what he said back then?
"I'm going to keep you alive. Stay alive. From now on, I'm going to start over. I'll show you. I will show you that I can live away from the pain. So you stay alive and watch me be happy. In your pain. From now on, this is your hell."
Has he really overcome his pain? He has become better over the course of this season. But he is not fine. And he is definitely not fine after the last two episodes. He blames himself for Min-ho's suffering: He believes it all happened because of him and his obsession with F (Min-ho stays so late because he researchers F) - and in a way, there is something to that. F is like a curse - and he cannot shake it. The dispanding of the team is quasi the last resort. I am guessing he will continue to search for F, but he is cutting the others off. Because he loves them.
What about the team members? We do not know whether Do-shik is still dating the veterinary, but I guess he is. He will be fine. What about Ye-ri? There is this interesting moment in this episode when she finally fully understands Yeo Ji-hoon. I find it interesting because I always thought that she already understood: she is to only one that never really blamed him for anything, and also the one team member that is most fascinated with his dark side. To the point where the interest could turn into a passionate relationship, but I guess we will have to wait for that ... if we'll ever get it. What will she do after the TEN team is no more? I don't know. I hope she'll stalk Yeo Ji-hoon and help him search for F ...
And then, there is Min-ho. His mother is a murder victim, his father has been suffering ever since. And we know that he sees his father in Yeo Ji-hoon or the other way round (Min-ho says so at the beginning of Season 2). Is that what draws him to Ji-hoon? I guess this is part of the attraction. The other is murder cases in general. He is in awe of Ji-hoon and wants to be like him - after he learns to be like Do-shik and gets to date Ye-ri. That we see him with his father again in the last two episodes is quite telling, I think. He is the one character that gets closure. His father tells him that he is okay. He has overcome his difficulties. One person, at least, is healed. And if healing is possible, Ji-hoon will also be able to heal.
And then, there is Boss-Boss. Hm. I know many people have been suspecting that he could be F. Yes, he could be, but there is no real indication for it. But I must admit, his smile and his comment when he realizes he has moved further up the ladder are a bit discomforting. We do not know who is really behind the SIM car-incident. We don not know who got Ma Suk-gi to do what he did. He could very well be the pupeteer behind it all ... because he definitely is the one that benefits the most from the big clean-up in the police.
Finally, the big mystery: Who is the prisoner that gets released? Could he be F? How is he related to our protagonists? We do not know and we cannot know. Let's hope we will find out. Soon.
TEN Season 2 certainly had its faults, many of them, not least the at times terrible subs. Guessing what they really could have meant was quite a challenge during the recap of this series. But, ah, I am sad this has ended... These characters are very dear to me and I hope, hope, hope we get news of a 3rd Season soon. Because who can sleep at night if I know that F is still out there? And who can be well without Yeo Ji-hoon's killer-cute gruffness?
Ji-hoon's final words with Boss-Boss open a door for OCN to continue the series with a different team, at least theoretically. But let's hope they'll be back ... cause they're awesome.

Wireless on Wheels-
- A Brief History of Car Radio By Mark Savage and Chrissy Brand
(First published in Radio User, March and April 2006)
A set of useful links is at the foot of this article
Above photo of Skoda in Bohemia © C Brand
Mark Savage writes 2 blogs- one on life, one on radio! http://www.radiofar-far.blogspot.com/
As you settle into the driving seat of your car, white van or LGV today, it’s more than likely the first control you operate after the ignition is for the vehicle’s entertainment system- if it hasn’t switched on automatically along with the engine. We take the partnership of wireless and wheels for granted, while for some the latest piece of in-car kit gives more ‘street cred’ than the motor itself.
Hard though it may be to believe today, it hasn’t always been like this. Although radio and audio technology began to develop pretty much at the same time as the internal combustion engine, it took thirty years or more after the first cars hit the road for a practical car radio to be marketed, and another fifty, perhaps, before it became standard equipment in any new British car. Quite apart from technical considerations, car manufacturers and broadcasters alike seem to have been very slow to recognise the appeal and practicality of the combination of information and informality radio users have enjoyed in their homes since the roaring twenties.
One maker though recognised even in the depression-hit thirties that there was a budding market for their particular combination of frequency on the dial and speed on the freeway. An American, Paul Galvin, generally gets the credit for inventing and patenting the first car radio in 1930, and his cleverly-chosen name for the company founded with his brother two years earlier to produce “battery eliminators” for home sets still thrives as one of the leading names in mobile communications- Motorola.
Motorola came from words meaning “motor-car” and “sound”. The company’s first set, the 5T71, could be fitted in most modern automobiles, and retailed for around $130- about the price of a basic RDS radio/CD today, but a luxury item in those deprived times for all but the few. Nevertheless, Motorola’s early trading years saw healthy growth and the 5T71 was widely endorsed, with one leading name advising drivers to “insist on Motorola Auto Radio”, with its “Approved Automatic Push-button Tuning” to give “happier miles in your Pontiac”.
Yet while Motorola were quick to dominate the market in the USA, in Europe another name was soon to rise to prominence in the mobile media market. The company that is now pumping up the volume with a bassy beat and cuddly toys in its advertising to proclaim that it is “the advantage in your car” started out with a tiny trademark which was the symbol of technical competence in its native Germany.
The “Ideal” radio company started life in Berlin in 1923 as a manufacturer of headphones, the same year that radio was introduced to a nation still struggling to recover from World War I. Such was the reputation of its headphones, however, that people soon began asking for “the blue dot” or Blaupunkt brand, and the nickname stuck- being adopted officially as the company style just before the outbreak of World War II.
However, while it may have been strong on quality, the first European car radio was anything but “ideal” for its purpose, at least as far as its dimensions were concerned. The Blaupunkt AS5, equipped with short medium and longwave, took up about ten litres of space in vehicles much smaller than their American counterparts, and weighed about as much as a modern microwave! (By 1970 it had reduced to one litre of space).
One of the main problems to be overcome before car radio could match its stationary counterpart in listening enjoyment, of course, was the question of an aerial. There’s a world of difference between picking up a signal inside a pile of bricks and mortar going nowhere, and a moving metal machine driving all over the place. Early broadcast engineers were well aware of this limitation, and the British Broadcasting Company, as it then was, experimented with car aerials from 1922 onwards; the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu features a rare mock example – used in a BBC promotion- on a 1928 Bean Short car. It took many more years though for cars to be manufactured including integral antennas, so conventional antenna wiring was mounted either in the roof line or on the car’s running boards.
Also because of its size, it was not possible to position Blaupunkt’s AS5 within easy reach of the driver. To get round this obvious shortcoming, and in an early precedent for the remote controls of today’s top-range equipment, a point was made of mounting the radio controls within the steering wheel- but at a price. The AS5 hit the market at 465 Reichsmark, which was around a third of the cost of a Volkswagen or similar small car of the time.
As with the ongoing arguments over the invention of radio itself, car radio is also a grey area. Although generally attributed to Paul Galvin, car company Daimler also stake a claim. In 1922 their Light 30 car had a Marconi eight-valve receiver fitted in the rear compartment, with a large frame aerial on the roof as an experiment. It received perfect reception from Marconi House in London. After this, some cars were factory equipped with radios but as the price was almost 25% of the cost of the car, it was not a great seller and the option was dropped.
The Marconi V2A radio was manufactured in 1923 and housed in a polished mahogany cabinet, selling for £24. A number of British motorists with the requisite technical skills managed to mount these on the running boards to produce an early car radio. Seeing is believing at: http://earlywireless.com/marconiphone_v2-picinfo.htm
Innovative though the early Blaupunkt, Motorola and Marconi radios undoubtedly were, clearly a lot of work still needed to be done before car radio could be brought to the masses at an acceptable pricepoint. It took the duration of another war and a revolution in car ownership in Europe a decade or so after it for that to happen.
Post-war boomWith car use increasing in Europe and North America after World War II, the car radio too became a much sought after accessory, although they were not to be fitted as standard in average priced cars in Britain until the mid 1970s. The BBC started transmitting on FM in 1955, but it was three years before that when the first FM car radio was manufactured. That honour fell to Blaupunkt in 1952.
In Britain the standard radio licence covered all wireless sets in the home but if you had a car radio you needed a separate radio licence for it. In the 1950s the radio licence changed so that car registration numbers could be inserted onto the licence.
Radio stations soon realised there was a new captive audience in the form of the driving commuter, with Radio Luxembourg being a case in point. They had a tri-lingual service on 208 metres medium wave and from May 1950 came up with a new schedule that shared that one frequency. This catered for all their markets starting with the Dutch and Flemish breakfast car commuters and housewives. They then provided light entertainment programming for Germany in the afternoon, a time that German television was not on air, going into the rush hour and the ‘lucrative German car radio audience in the early evening’. Luxembourg then had the slot to the U.K that they coveted fully exploiting the propagation qualities of medium wave under darkness.
In the 1950s the USA led the way as car radios became standard accessories Stateside, and radio received a big boost as Americans tuned in driving to and from work. It was the dawn of the ubiquitous traffic news and eye in the sky reports that now dominate today’s breakfast and drive-time output. In 1956 the car radio market caused station WOWO in Fort Wayne Indiana to have a makeover, bringing DJs into prominence, increasing news coverage and creating a new sound to target car radio listeners, 'the greatest mass audience of any medium'. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, and it was another American who took Paul Galvin's invention to the next level. Earl Muntz was the millionaire owner of several car showrooms in California, and is widely credited with developing the first car stereo in the 1960s. This was a 110-volt system that was modified to run on the car's own battery to avoid the risk of electrocution for occupants.
Whilst the North American market led the way and western Europe followed with similar models, what of car radios east of the Berlin Wall? Surely the basic cars of Lada, Skodas, Dacias, Yugos et al didn’t possess such luxury items? Chair of the U.K Trabant and Wartburg Club Peter Frost says it was otherwise.For example, whilst Blaupunkt led West Germany’s car radio industry, even the East German Trabants were factory-fitted with a radio. 'The early cars had valve (tube) radios fitted such as the Aukoton Schönburg (an East German made radio designed to run off 6 Volts with a separate vibrator/amplifier unit). From around 1962 the all-transistor Berlin radio was fitted (again an East German make). There were a number of other radios fitted including a Tesla FM/AM unit, which was fitted after the cars gained 12-volt electrics in 1983. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall there was a thriving East German electronics industry and the Trabant name was even used on a number of nice domestic radios, both transistor portables and earlier valve radios. Some of the valve radios in Bakelite or wood cases are now quite collectable and can change hands for surprising amounts of money'.In Peter's current collection are a 1963 Wartburg fitted with a 6 volt all-transistor 'Berlin' radio as was also fitted to Trabants. He also has a Schönburg and an AM/FM Tesla tucked away waiting for the right car to fit them to.
Another part of the world where car radios have differed from the western norm is Japan. The FM frequency band used in Japan is 76 to 90 MHZ, lower than the FM band of 88 to 108 MHz used in most parts of the world. This has led to problems for people in some countries who import second-hand Japanese cars with radios already fitted, as far apart as the U.K and New Zealand. Radio Band Expanders or Converters for Japanese imported vehicles are cheaply available to resolve that problem.
Modern traffic updatesMotorists in an earlier age would have enjoyed the sounds of big bands or classical music without having to worry unduly about traffic jams. When the car ceased to be a luxury item and became the norm for every household, there was an inevitable increase in road accidents and traffic hotspots. Radio stations reacted by providing travel news updates, which are featured on almost every UK domestic radio station. The drawback with this arrangement though, particularly in an age of hundreds of local stations, is that you need to know when a station will be transmitting the next traffic bulletin for the area you travel through in order to catch the announcements most relevant for you. It was BBC engineers at their Research and Development base at Kingswood Warren in Surrey who first addressed this issue in the mid 1970s, and there was a brief flirtation with a system called CARFAX (in imitation of the CEEFAX system for TV which came out around the same time) which operated on a test basis on AM.
However, FM soon became the transmission mode of choice for most drivers, aided by the BBC’s programme of re-equipping its VHF/FM transmitters from around 1975 with a system called “slant” polarisation, which gave better reception on portable or vehicle receivers. Partly as a result, CARFAX soon bit the dust, and the RDS (Radio Data System) became the norm on FM only. RDS overcomes the need for manual frequency adjustment on the move by automatically changing frequency depending on the circumstances.
A sub-audible “flag” transmitted piggy-back fashion on the normal signal can be used to do everything from choosing a stronger signal as reception from one transmitter fades, to finding you a broadcaster transmitting sport, news, music or a number of other options. However, this relies on the broadcaster choosing flags which allow the options, but the Traffic Announcement (TA) flag is now used by all but the smallest, as making a transmission RDS-equipped is a straightforward and relatively cheap tweak from the radio station. Once the relevant announcement or programme has finished, the car radio then switches back to either the station you were previously listening to, or even a cassette or CD, avoiding the need to do so manually.
Traffic Message Channel, or TMC, is a worldwide technology for delivering traffic and travel information to drivers, thus improving road safety. It is digitally coded using the FM-RDS system on FM radio broadcasts.
Drivers can therefore try and avoid road-works or other traffic-related hazards. It is particularly proving its usefulness in the longer road tunnels of Europe, and indeed following serious accidents in the Alps recently, tunnel operators are now required to equip their underground routes with technology to automatically interrupt car entertainment systems with emergency messages should the need arise. Many of these tunnels make use of special cabling systems which “inductively” transmit from tunnel wall to car.
Freewheeling with Freeview
Car radios have come a long way in 80 years: starting as a luxury item for the well-heeled, before becoming a standard fitting for most cars by the late 1970s. The past 30 years has seen an explosion with more and more innovations driving the industry onwards. The eight-track cartridge is long since a thing of the past, and car radio and audio cassette combos have gone the same way. RDS radios with CD players are the norm in the UK now, and DAB radios are being fitted in some new models, with MP3 players the latest technology to be integrated into the ICE (In Car Entertainment).
DVD players and digital tuners have brought video into the car as well as audio, at least for passengers.Current developments continue apace and hot on the heels of in-car DAB radios and MP3 players come car radios that can receive Freeview. Alpine, Becker and Sony manufacture a range of Digital TV Tuners to accompany in-car DVD players. Available from November 2005 these cost from £299 to £1000.
A DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) car radio is on the way too, a collaboration between DRM chip company Fraunhofer IIS and the Philips' "SAF7730" digital car radio platform. One wonders what the Massachusetts Public Works Commission would say about this latest development. In 1927, as car radio technology was taking off, they held a number of hearings concluding that car radios should be banned from vehicles because: (i) they distract the driver and cause accidents. (ii) The act of tuning would distract the driver and cause accidents. (iii) The music would lull the driver to sleep and (iv) the drivers of other vehicles would be distracted by the noise…
Passing pedestrians and fellow motorists who have their eardrums assaulted by the latest mobile beat boxes pounding away might well agree with the last objection, but most motoring authorities today agree that a car “wireless” system is an almost indispensable aid to keeping the traffic flowing safely, while commercial broadcasters in particular have cottoned on to what a lucrative source of advertising revenue lies in the captive car audience. Eighty years on, the love affair between mobile music and messages on the move has formed a marriage which seems destined to last as long as people keep on driving.

With the millions of websites that demand your attention, how can you make the most of your time online? The Radio Websites column helps you pick and choose from a wide selection of those covering radio.
We look at websites of traditional on-air radio stations or Internet radio stations, new technologies, of blogs and individuals with something to say on the subject of radio, collectors of radio ephemera, radio clubs and communities. There’s always something interesting or new to discover.
As to how many websites are currently out there, the figure changes constantly of course. However, an estimate of around 110 million websites would not be too wide of the mark, according to Netmark: http://news.netcraft.com/
Virgin Radio in the UK now accept reception reports: http://www.virginradio.co.uk/about_us/technology_services/qsl/index.html And don’t go thinking you can escape the Branson Empire overseas. Virgin radio also run stations in France, India and Thailand.

Radio Days: Best of Europe's satellite radio
Radio Days, Best of Europe's satellite radio
(first published in Satellite and Digital Choice July/Aug 2004 www.bettersat.com)
by Chrissy Brand
A relaxing summer evening can start by channel hopping through your favourite satellite tv stations. One eye on the basketball, cricket or rugby league match, an old sitcom or two or maybe a blockbuster movie. But why not use more of your satellite equipment's potential and open up new horizons, by tuning in to some satellite radio transmissions?
Most of us are probably guilty of concentrating more on the television and ignoring the huge array of diverse radio stations available on satellite. It's worth taking time to hear what radio has to offer. You will be pleasantly surprised and may become hooked. Sit back, close your eyes and soak in the midnight sun from Scandinavia, learn about a leading Dutch export in the shape of Royal Delft Porcelain, or go on a tour of the original Budweiser brewery in the town of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic.
This issue we'll have a look at some of the best European radio stations you can hear via satellite, in English as well as some other European tongues. An ideal starting place is the World Radio Network (WRN), which, as you will have spotted by its name, broadcasts a selection of radio from all over the globe.
Based in London, WRN offers a mind-blowing range of programmes in English from a selection of the worlds radio stations. It will take you straight to the heart of a country's tourist hotspots and popular culture. WRN is on Sky digital channel 872 (Astra 2A satellite at 28.2 degrees East), Eutelsat Hotbird 6 satellite at 13º East, Transponder 94, 12.597 GHz. Vertical, Symbol Rate 27.500 Mbaud, FEC 3/4, MPEG2 DVB audio stream.
First up from WRN comes Radio Netherlands from Hilversum, which broadcasts some feature programmes that you can really get your teeth into. Whether it's investigating European issues, such as the eastern-most German town of Goerlitz which was split in two into Germany and Poland at the end of World War II, or looking at the life of a historic figure, such as 17th century Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens who discovered the rings and moon of Saturn, you will be amazed at what you learn.
Radio Sweden has some really interesting transmissions. You can hear them on satellite via WRN and on WorldSpace AfriStar. The summer is a great time to visit anywhere in Scandinavia, with the midnight sun driving all that is good about outdoor life. Keeping tabs on Radio Sweden will enable you to enjoy many of the music festivals throughout Scandinavia, such as the Pori jazz festival in Finland, and Stockholm's Water Festival, which make the most of the long nights.
Recent highlights I have enjoyed included `Street Talk'. As summer in Sweden is looming and the shorts and bikinis come out of the closet, it's time to lose weight. Christine Demsteader on the streets of Stockholm asked if the Swedes are a nation of food lovers or diet freaks.
Another feature programme, the `S-Files' featured boats, trams, buses and trains with a look at the history of local transport in Stockholm. It's not as anorakish as you might think.
If you are a newcomer to satellite radio you have arrived at the party too late to appreciate the charms of quirky Radio Slovakia International. They started broadcasts in English and other languages in 1993 when the former country of Czechoslovakia split into two. But their programmes, broadcast from the strange Bratislava building they refer to as `the upside-down pyramid' has had the plug pulled in May 2004.
N.B as of May 2007. They did a dramatic turn around in 2006 and are back! Hooray. See http://www.slovakradio.sk/inetportal/rsi/core.php?lang=2
You can still hear what Slovakian radio and music in the native Slovak is like by going to transponder number F3S, frequency 12643H. There you will find gems such as Radio Expres, Twist and Fun Radio, playing all kinds of euro-pop.
Across the Slovak border in the Czech capital Radio Prague has been pumping out radio in English for nigh on seventy years, on short wave in the 20th century, and through the Internet and satellite in the 21st century. It has some highly polished programmes; some are quite high-brow whilst others appeal to a wider market.
The `Czech Books' show recently featured Tomas Mika, whose unusual literary career has taken him from lyric poetry to hip-hop. Personally I feel equally at home whether listening to the latest in Czech literature or following the fortunes of the Czech ice-hockey team in the World Championships.
If you are planning a holiday at one of Romania's Black Sea resorts and have a Worldspace satellite radio, you could acclimatise by listening to Radio Romania International's regular `Tourist Itineraries' programme. They have a half hour programme each weekend on WorldSpace AfriStar, the footprint of which covers the UK. News, features and a healthy dose of Transylvanian folk music is the standard fare here. There is also a transmission on WRN satellite.
Deutsche Welle, the voice of Germany, has a well-established German language television presence on Hotbird. Its English operation also has news and views from the heart of Europe which you can hear in half-hour segments at WRN. A truly wide output ranges from the bizarre, such as tracking dog DNA, to the latest from the Hubble telescope (the Ultra Deep Field Image which shows 10,000 galaxies), the return of wolves to western Europe and the first `University of Gastronomic Science' opening in Bra, Italy.
If you prefer to hear from Germany radio and television in German, then tune in via the Astra satellite, to networks such as ARD and ZDF.
Rounding off our whistle-stop summer tour for now, with two Mediterranean hotspots which can be heard on Hotbird; Italy and Portugal. The main national Italian speaking radio stations Radiotelevisione Italia (RAI) 1, 2, 3 and RAI International can be found on Hotbird 1 and 2. In Portugal, where many people will be flocking this summer in the wake of the European football championships, you can receive radio from Radiodifusao Portuguesa EP (RDP) and television from RTP. RTP International is the Portuguese entertainment television station on Astra at 11.568 GHz.
Hopefully you will have found something here to whet your appetite and to persuade you to try a taste of the European satellite radio scene. If you can't spend all summer mellowing on the Med or lazing in the lakes of northern Europe, you can at least bring some summer sounds of Europe into your own home. As the song almost said; `Summertime and the listening is easy…'
Radio Days: Satellite radio as a global jukebox
(first published in Satellite and Digital Choice (Sep/Oct 2004 issue) www.bettersat.com)
There is a huge variety of different types of music to be found on Satellite radio. Most people stick to the tried and trusted radio stations, but why not get a little more adventurous and turn your satellite system into a global jukebox? As well as enjoying some great music, you will be able to impress your friends with your new-found knowledge on all kinds of weird and wonderful sounds. Here are some good European stations to take you off the beaten track.
Radio Caroline started as an offshore pirate radio station in 1964. Now celebrating its fortieth anniversary, it can be heard on Sky. Archive programmes from its 1960s heyday may now sound clichéd and dated, but they were innovative and radical at the time. It shouldn't be forgotten that the offshore pirates (what anoraks also call `watery wireless') led to much of today's music radio.
The term `anorak' in fact comes not from train-spotters but from the radio enthusiasts who would hang about on piers in the 1960s listening and looking at the radio pirates' offshore ships. Caroline now plays a format of rock, pop and even country. Try Stuart Cameron on Friday evenings from nine with Hot Country News.
Heat radio plays a variety of mostly contemporary dance and feel-good tunes, mixed in with some older soul and dance classics. Heat is on Sky EPG 929 and Freeview 84. There is a good chill-out programme early on Saturday evenings, and with a philosophy of no DJs and `Your Tunes at your rhythm' it's good as a pre-clubbing soundtrack or a quiet night in.
BBC World Service has a number of excellent daily music programmes spanning all genres. Music can be heard four times a day at 0230, 0930, 1630 and 1930 on Astra.
Charlie Gillett's excellent programme covers a lot of African music with infectious rhythms to perk you up. Have a listen on Wednesdays and you will hear sounds from Algeria, Benin, Malaysia, and beyond. You are likely to hear gems such as Cesaria Evora of the Cape Verde Islands or the Paris-based Congolese group Kekele. Check out their new CD Congo life, with its retro sound influenced by the west-central Africa of the 1960s.
Each Tuesday Music Review is a feature programme that can look at music anywhere in the world. Recent programmes had a French feel, with a broadcast from Lille, the European City of Culture 2004. Lille boasts a strong live musical pedigree with a Symphony Orchestra, concert hall and refurbished opera house. Currently in the main square there is an art installation in the form of a suspended forest, complete with birdsong and music. Another programme focused on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of France, featuring 1940s favourites like Edith Piaf, Maurice Chevalier and songs of the French Resistance.
Whilst we are in France, there are several exciting stations that merit a mention. Jazzy Love (Hotbird 4) offers a great selection of laid-back grooves 24 hours a day. Bossa Nova, Brazilian soul, new age and mainstream artists such as Norah Jones and Diana Krall are all on offer. The station plays some great jingles too, often in English.
La Radio du Voyage on Astra 1H has an evocative playlist including artists such as Azul Azul, Clarence Fragman and Marisa Monte. Over on Astra Canal 67 radio Media Tropical give you France with an African beat with programmes such as Nuit Media Tropical and La Bouteille a la Mer.
Other music to create what could be seen as a typically French atmosphere include France Inter with accordion music, Gallic songs, and archive concerts. (Astra 1 H, Hot Bird 4 and Atlantic Bird 3).
France-Inter comes from Allouis in central France. They have a good variety of music programmes in the evenings, so you can tune into light classical on a Thursday, or jazz at the weekends presented by Julien Delli Fiori. Even their breakfast show makes a novel change, with 1930s orchestral led romantic songs popping up next to 1980s pop.
Over in Denmark there is a wide-ranging radio scene. Starting off with DR Klassisk which is a 24-hour classical music station that highlights the best of the Danish classical orchestras. There is an opera every Tuesday at 1900 and a live concert on Fridays and Sunday at the same time. Chamber music (small instrumental groups) is scattered all over their schedule, but at weekends is on Saturdays from lunchtime to the evenings and Sunday lunchtimes.
The other national Danish stations on the DR network are DR1, DR2, DR3
and DR4 which can be found on Intelsat 707, Thor 3 and Sirius 3. They cover rock, pop, jazz and all manner of chart music. Sky radio and Pop FM on Thor 2 in similar vein are two other great Danes worth listening to.
RTE (Radio Telefis Eireann) from Dublin does not only play traditional Irish music, although it has plenty of that on offer in programmes such as Ceili House and Mo Cheol. RTE 1 (Sky EPG 910) has a fine selection of other music programmes, such as Mystery Train, and Country Heartland (bluegrass, acoustic roots and country). Another RTE 1 regular is Rattlebag with Myles Dungan, a magazine programme covering all the arts and popular culture.
RTE Lyric FM broadcasts from Limerick, and this satellite relay of the FM station plays lesser known musical genres such as choral and film soundtracks. On Saturdays Ian Fox suggests music for a classical library, and experts in other fields pop in, to offer information on jazz, cabaret and world music. RTE can be found on Hot Bird 6, Astra 2B and Astra 2D as well as Sky
From flamenco to Euro-pop, classical guitar to disco divas, Spanish radio is always fun to dip into. The national network, RNE (Radio Nacional de España) can be heard on Hotbird. Spain serves Spanish expats well, with signals beamed across the globe on a number of satellites including Asiasat, Hispasat and Telstart.
RNE 1 plays the best radio from the Spanish regional stations, so can be a bit hit and miss, according to your taste. RNE 2 proffers classical music and cultural programmes in Spanish, whilst RNE 3 promotes itself as a young persons station.
Spains' international broadcaster REE, (Radio Exterior de España) broadcasts in various languages and has some interesting musical slots.
Finally, check out Canal Sur on Astra. It has an evocative mix of Spanish and Andalucian music, along with international pop and rock from its Seville headquarters. (Astra 2C, Hispasat).
So there you are, in no time at all your music tastes have been widened by employing your satellite set up as a global jukebox. Tune around and you will be pleasantly surprised at what you hear.
WRN: Global Voices, Diverse Views, One Station
World Radio Network - Global Voices, Diverse Views, One Station
by Chrissy Brand (first published in Radio Active Jan 2005)
The World Radio Network (WRN) commenced back in 1992. The aim was to produce a satellite radio station to re-broadcast the best output from shortwave international radio stations. It was soon able to beam the words of these international stations into the homes of a wider audience through the then comparatively new technology of satellite broadcasting.
WRN was set up by three former BBC Senior Staff, namely WRN Managing Director Karl Miosga, Technical Operations Director Jim Ashburner, and Director of Development Jeff Cohen. Jeff has been a shortwave enthusiast since boyhood, and he had the initial idea of a satellite radio network that could raise the profile of the best of shortwave content.
WRN is a small company employing 21 people at its Vauxhall Headquarters in South London, a Freddie Flintoff boundary hit away from the Oval cricket ground. It reaches a global audience and the station mantra of `Global voices, diverse views - all on one station' serves them well. WRN has five core service areas, namely Broadcast, Transmission, Internet, Consulting and Commercial. We shall concern ourselves here with the first two of these, which will be of most interest to Radio Active readers.
Looking at the WRN broadcasts, there are currently four language services. There are also multilingual services to different parts of the world, in languages such as Czech, Finnish, Hungarian, Polish and Spanish. These are:
WRN English to Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific, North and South America.
WRN German to Europe and Africa.
WRN French to Europe and Africa and North America
WRN Russian to Europe and Russia.
WRN Russian to Europe and Russia is the latest service, which is also being developed on a medium wave frequency in Moscow. One of the licence conditions for the Moscow based outlet is that 30% of output is local programming.
Global technical operations
Broadcast distribution is through satellite, Internet, wireless applications, cable television, cable FM and AM via local radio stations, and Worldspace. But before the distribution can begin, WRN needs to receive, collate and order each station's programme output.
The huge variety of programming (or `bouquet' in satellite speak) are sent from the originating radio stations and production companies to WRN by various delivery methods. These feeds are sent on a daily and sometimes weekly basis and arrive at WRN's multi-playout centre in London via the Internet, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Satellite or through lines in Bush House (BBC World Service HQ). The one-woman operation that is Radio Wales International's Celtic Notes actually send their programmes in on CD, proving that new and old methods work equally efficiently.
WRN is then in a position to transmit. The output is continuously monitored by two technicians in the spacious London studio and technical gallery, crammed full of computer screens, mixing desks and banks of glowing electrical gadgetry.
In the past two years WRN's transmission services business have seen a major expansion, with the goal of becoming one of the world's pre-eminent transmission service providers. With the explosion of new digital delivery platforms, coupled with the demand from listeners for increased radio choice, WRN is ensuring that its radio broadcasting clients, big or small, publicly or privately funded, have access to the most suitable digital delivery platforms, allowing their radio services to develop and expand.
For example, in 2000 WRN invested in a Philips Digital Audio Distribution System that is now at the heart of its new digital radio multiplex on the Eutelsat Hotbird 6 satellite. At the same time, WRN still offers analogue distribution services for broadcasters wanting to reach the parts of the world where full digital broadcasting is not yet in place. WRN is available on Sky Digital in the UK, and European networks are available on the new digital cable systems rolling out across Europe. Examples being Telewest's Activedigital in the UK and Swissfun cable and Telegeneve's digicable service in Switzerland which carry WRN.
As well as the WRN network on Satellite, a number of radio stations carry WRN programming as an overnight sustaining service. Some stations re-broadcast a pick and mix selection of what WRN has to offer. In south-east England Spectrum radio rebroadcasts WRN during the night on 558 kHz medium wave.
You can even hear WRN on DAB if you are in Stockholm via Stockholm International 89.6 FM and DAB. Elsewhere in Scandinavia Finland has Helsinki's Capital FM 103.7 FM, Turku's Radio Aurora 96.7 FM and Lahti's Radio Kuopio on 88.1 FM. Throughout Denmark several radio stations, cable services and the Thor II satellite all carry WRN. Many other European countries carry WRN on cable from Austria to Switzerland as well as the UK.
Further afield WRN output can be heard on FM in Berlin and Moscow and on AM across Western Europe, south-west Russia (and St Petersburg), Ukraine and Romania. WRN identifies the most appropriate transmitters, undertakes local negotiations and monitors the output on behalf of the broadcasting organisations.
There are dozens of other radio stations across the globe who are linked with WRN and re-broadcast their programmes to a local audience. These include: SA FM 104-107 across South Africa, Cape Town's Bush Radio 89.5 FM and Johannesburg's Al Saut (The Voice) on 94.5 FM. Elsewhere on the African continent WRN is heard across Malawi on FM 101 POWER, Namibia on UNAM Radio and Zambia on Radio Choice 107.8FM.
In Australia Radio Adelaide on 101.5 FM, KLFM 96.5 FM Bendigo and 106.3FM in Castlemaine all take the programmes, as does New Zealand's Jukebox Radio 99.1FM in Waipu, Northland.
Another effective and exciting delivery method that has been successfully tested in the U.S.A is that of sending WRN onto mobile phone networks. Sirius Satellite Radio in the USA is also now delivering multi-channel commercial-free radio to Americans in their cars via satellite and WRN is one of the major news channels alongside other providers such as ABC, and CNN. WRN also use traditional methods such as shortwave transmitters, including old transmitters in Moldova, east of Romania.
Providing listeners with quality technical programmes from the best of shortwave is just one part of WRN's business. They were the first British broadcaster offering live radio on the World Wide Web and the WRN website is a major portal for international radio. The site has live streams of WRN's radio networks and audio files in over 20 languages.
Programmes and stations
Because of the nature of WRN, with stations sending programmes in advance, and slots being booked by such a wide number of stations, it is not geared up to cover breaking news stories, in the way that ional state broadcaster such as the BBC can. It may occasionally be caught out by a news story that conflicts with pre-recorded material going out on the air at the time. However, strengths lay more in the topical current affairs programmes that emerge after an international crisis or incident.
As an example, on 9/11 it was not in a position to cover events live, nor was it within its remit. However, as reaction unfolded around the world, and various stations produced programmes reflecting the disaster, WRN was able to quickly provide views from across the globe, from China to Channel Africa, New Zealand to the Netherlands. The local radio stations that take WRN programming in the USA overnight, and the listeners, were impressed and supported by hearing such global support from the people in the street to the experts in the studios.
Looking in more detail at the 24 hour a day English to Europe programming, there are currently broadcasters from 26 countries. China, as well as state broadcasting giant China Radio International, is also represented by Radio Guangdong, which commenced back in 1949. Guangdong is a southern province of the country on the South China Sea, and the station's programmes reflect the diversity of the region. Guangdong Today can include features on festivals, international relations and tourism.
Radio Korea International is another Asian voice that makes the most of WRN, whilst Israel Radio is currently the only Middle East broadcaster on the network. The Middle East is one of the geo-political regions where WRN hopes to add other broadcasters. Amongst the many other broadcasters using WRN to carry their words far and wide in non-English languages are YLE Finland, the Hispanic Radio Network and the Voice of Turkey.
The old Eastern European bloc was quick to see how WRN could help vent post-Communist voices and since the 1990s has maintained a representative presence on Satellite. Radio Budapest, Radio Polonia, Radio Prague, Radio Romania International, Radio Slovakia and the Voice of Russia all have English language slots. And in more comfortable and predictable listening conditions than those offered on shortwave, you can hear programming gems such as what Slovaks think of cricket, how Romania's 20 television channels are fighting for viewer figures, and the legend of Czech medieval princess Libuse.
Western voices
Wales Radio International air a high quality weekly programme Celtic Notes, with presenter Jenny O'Brien. Everything from business opportunities to Welsh poetry are covered in a lively and professional manner. Another Celtic view is provided by RTE (Radio Telefis Eireann) in Dublin, who have added WRN to their transmission arsenal, having left shortwave last year, but taken up the 252 kHz longwave frequency. Other stations such as UN Radio, Pacifica Radio and Banns Radio (from Copenhagen) add to a wide and unique selection of stations.
Broadcasters that have been familiar and friendly voices on shortwave for decades include Radio Netherlands and Radio Australia. The latter's excellent `Rural Reporter' programme is on WRN. Just one week could include behind the scenes at a fireworks spectacular; a woman unafraid of back breaking work in the shearing shed; and some old sailors who have given up the high seas in favour of model boats. `The Buzz' covers science and engineering and I was enthralled by an item on steganography (the science of hiding messages) It's origins are ancient but steganography has really come to the fore in the digital world. Another technology piece was on wireless sensor networks, which will be used to gather and relay information back to a central point, especially in factories, cars, ships and planes.
Much of the best of Radio Netherlands is re-broadcast on WRN. Vox Humana, Research File, Euro Quest and A Good Life are all heard regularly. Radio Sweden's Nordic Lights and Street Talk are an entertaining listen, looking at whether it is true that everyone in Sweden is called either `Björn' or `Lars' or `Inga' or `Anna'? `Street Talk' went round Stockholm to find out if there is any truth to the stereotypes.
Across the pond recent offerings from Radio Canada International included Ontario's University of Waterloo setting a world record by driving their solar-powered car, Midnight Sun VII for 15,079 kilometres.
Stations that originally broadcast in WRN but have left include the BBC World Service, Swiss Radio International/Swiss Info (who now operate an Internet-only service) and Radio France International, who may return at some point with German language programming.
Channel Africa, Deutsche Welle, Radio Vlaanderen International (Belgium), Vatican Radio and Radio New Zealand International are other established shortwave stations that do utilise the excellent services offered by WRN to promulgate their messages, be they of tourism, politics, religion or just good old entertainment for the listeners!
Specialist programmes
As well as radio stations booking airtime to play a selection of their scheduled programmes, WRN re-broadcasts a number of specialist programmes made by independent production companies, which include a number of programmes also heard on U.S.A radio stations. Glenn Hauser's World of Radio is a weekly highlight for me and carries the latest communication news. Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion is another on my `not to be missed' list with its variety and dry humour format now in its 30th anniversary year.
Pulse of the Planet and Eco Zone cover environmental and global issues, Earth & Sky looks at popular science, and This Way Out is an international gay and lesbian radio magazine based in Los Angeles with interesting features for a wide radio audience. National Geographic and Spotlight are two other slots in the scheduling worth making time for.
WRN continues to seek out and develop relations with potential new partners, especially in areas of the world which aren't currently covered by the network. (e.g. Latin American and Middle Eastern radio for its English language services). It will be fascinating to monitor how the radio schedules evolve in the next few years. There are also plans investigating how Arabic and Spanish radio networks could be developed.
WRN recently released a press statement stating their intention to progress the multimedia side of the organisation. Such future plans may include a television model of WRN. Taking the format and technical expertise developed for satellite radio in the past decade and coming up with a World Television Network would be a very exciting, and challenging, development.
Another mouth-watering prospect that might be in the pipeline is the design and manufacture of portable radios that will be able to receive satellite radio stations. What a boon this will be for all of us who are limited in our satellite radio listening by the fact that most satellite set-ups are located in the main family room in the house. Being able to carry a portable satellite radio around the home rather than have to compete with the family for the remote control will increase listening opportunities for many of us.
WRN has come a long way in its past 12 years on modest resources. It has achieved a lot when you consider the explosion of communications technology in the past decade, and the competitive marketplace for media audiences. A future marker for success might, somewhat ironically, be for WRN to develop a lower profile from the listeners point of view, with the station output being a seamless and continuous mix of variety and quality from global radio stations.
Simultaneously WRN itself might seek to raise its profile within the broadcasting industry to ensure the best of the world's radio makes it onto the WRN networks, and that it becomes a platform for as wide a range of voices from across the planet as can be fitted into its programme schedules.
To close on an optimistic note from WRN themselves; “There is a rising demand from listeners around the world for increased radio choice and WRN is committed to continuing to work on behalf of its clients in seeking out new and dynamic ways to reach listeners all across the globe. From our perspective, international radio has a bright, and very exciting future.” I am sure we all second that.
It is said that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, or in this case, listening. Here are some of the ways to tune into WRN in Western Europe.
By Satellite:
Sky Digital channel 872 (Eurobird satellite at 28.2 degrees East).
Eutelsat Hotbird 6 satellite at 13º East, Transponder 94, 12.597 GHz. Vertical, Symbol Rate 27.500 Mbaud, FEC 3/4, MPEG2 DVB audio stream. Select WRN English from audio menu.

Norberg mining museum and park Mossgruvan
One of the richest iron ore deposits at Norberg is Mossgruvan, where the mining museum is situated today. The visitor is given an idea of how it was to work and live by a mine more than a hundred years ago. The correct name is Risbergs konstschakt and the building was raised in 1876 over a 114 metre deep mine shaft. The shaft was originally sunk in the 18th century.
A very important function of the shaft was to drain the mine. From the shaft it was possible to keep several adjoining pits free from water. The pump equipment was operated using power transmitted from a water wheel by means of a ”stånggång”, a long wooden construction.
The old pumping station has been restored. Visitors are today shown how water is pumped up from the mine. They can also look down the mine shaft.
Apart from the pumping station, a cable operated lift car to carry the miners as well as a canteen, a small foreman’s office and a forge are shown in the pit head building. Visitors can see the tools used by the smith and the old machine used to plane wood, still in working order. A visit to the mining museum may be combined with a tour of Mossgruveparken, a museum park with a signposted walk leading between the old water filled mine holes.
The Mossgruve park is a deserted mining field with deep and water filled open cast mines. Iron ore was mined here from the Middle Ages until the beginning of the 1900s. A sign-posted walking-path runs through the park.
In the Norberg district, the iron ore deposits used to be easily accessible. The plentiful resource of good quality ore meant that there was never any need to make the mines very deep. Until the 17th century the average depth was not more than six metres. When the mines became flooded by water or it was too difficult to get the ore up out of the mine, the mine was abandoned and a new pit was sunk alongside the old one.
Svinryggen is a narrow shelf of rock, left between two rows of old mine holes. Altogether there are no less than eighteen mine holes on each side of the path. Not until the late 18th century were technical aids introduced such as horse drawn winches and water pumps. Polhem’s wheel, which is situated only a few hundred metres from Svinryggen, is what remains of an extensive system of water wheels and a power transmission construction made from wood – ”stånggång”. It used to operate pumping stations at the Mossgruvefält mines, of which Svinryggen is a part.
In the very old days, ore was extracted during the winter. During the four to six weeks following Christmas, the mine was drained. The water was ladled by hand into wooden tubs which were then carried up out of the mine. Then the ore was extracted using the fire-setting method. The ore was then brought to the surface in special barrows. If the mine holes were long, horse and sled could be used for transportation as long as the track was suitable and the ground was frozen.
The Polhem wheel, serving the Mossgruvefält mines (of which Svinryggen is part) has been named after the technical inventor and constructor Cristopher Polhem (1661-1751). The idea of connecting wooden rods used for transmission of power already existed in Germany, but Polhem improved the capacity and solved various technical problems like how to convert the reciprocating motion into rotary motion of mine-hoist drums.
The wheel was supplied with water via the water conduit entering the north side of the wheel house. The conduit was connected to a three kilometre long canal from lake Bålsjön. An example of a turning point has been preserved and stands on the original place on the other side of the road Polhemsvägen.
The system was fitted with a bell that rang night and day as long as the system was in motion. If the bell stopped ringing, it meant that the pumps had stopped and something had to be done about it before the mine slowly filled with water.
The Polhem wheel was in operation from 1877-1920. It is remarkable that this 18th century technique was used for new installations as late as 1877, when steam power was already was available at Norberg. Also considering the fact that electricity was introduced at an early date by international comparison.
To make sure that there always was a sufficient supply of water to keep the Polhem wheel running at all times, a three kilometre long canal was built running from the nearest lake. Up to the top of the wheel there is a water conduit, which also is a big attraction to foolhardy youngsters who use it for climbing, running and cycling. In the canal and in the conduit there were always lots of cray-fish.
The canal has been preserved and makes a nice walk.
The key to the Polhem wheel can be borrowed in the kiosk close by.

Update: Joining Matt's New Zealand leg of tour is explosive indie-pop singer Mane. With a haunting and high energy live set, Mane is something that has to be seen to be fully believed.
On the week of the release of his new album Rainbow Valley, Australian musician Matt Corby announces his biggest New Zealand headline concerts yet.
Tickets go on sale at 12pm, Friday November 2.
Fan pre-sale from 11am, Wednesday October 31 until 11am, Friday November 2.
My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning 11am, Wednesday October 31 until 11am, Friday November 2.
For complete tour, ticket and information, visit: livenation.co.nz
Matt and his band will play songs from the new album to New Zealand audiences for the first time, playing his first headline shows since the Telluric Tour in 2016. Set to start in January, the upcoming UK and European Rainbow Valley Tour has already sold in Oslo and Stockholm, with a second date added at London’s iconic Forum.
For a decade, the multi-platinum-selling musician has been pushing his own boundaries, embracing a journey of self-discovery that’s seen him wrestle a few pre-conceptions and stare down his share of demons. With two ARIA Song of the Year awards and a #1 debut album behind him, Corby can genuinely lay claim to some hard-earned perspective.
Now we see a new chapter in Corby’s life with the release of his much anticipated second album. Recorded in the idyllic surroundings of Byron Bay’s Music Farm studios, Rainbow Valley will be released this Friday November 2.
Lush, multi-textured and sparked by hints of both old soul and futuristic psychedelia, Rainbow Valley is, in Corby’s words “joyous music”, but it also has the depth and perspective of an artist who understands you can’t just take the good times for granted, you have to earn them. The sparkling first single No Ordinary Life, the bare-bones ballad All Fired Up and current single All That I See have received widespread acclaim and give fans a taste of what to expect on Corby’s stunning new album.

Category Archives: 1950 Chevy
At 18 I was standing in the gas station at Bellflower and Los Coyotes Diagonal in Long Beach with Jim Scrivner when Jerry Cohen’s candy apple red ’49 Chevy fleetline came cruising down the street. Jim told me later my jaw dropped and I had that dreamy look in my eyes. It was love at first sight. Within a few months I found a ’50 Fleetline and my love affair began. It wasn’t long before I had it lowered, shaved, dual pipes with glass packs and bellflowers, Tijuana diamond tuck and roll interior, sanded to metal and primed. It was ready for a gun metal gray pearl paint job when some low life’s tried to steal it and caved in the tail pan under the trunk.
I patched it up and in a fit of madness sold it. I’d been thinking about buying it back when I ran into the guy I had sold it to at a party and asked him about my beloved car. With a bit of hesitation he finally admitted that he’d had it up on lift at a gas station and it fell off. It was totaled and my dream car was in the junkyard never to be seen again. The shock must have been the only thing that kept me from beating him to the ground for his recklessness with my baby. All of that work and all that was left were a few pictures and great memories of cruising Long Beach, Bellflower, Harvey’s Broiler, Whittier, Hawthorne, The Sunset Strip and wild trips to Tijuana.
Not too long later the draft came calling and it was off to Vietnam in the Army for what seemed like a life time of depraved madness. Returning from ‘Nam was tough and a custom car was far from my fractured reality so I moved on.
I never forgot the ’50 and when asked if I’d ever customize another car my response was “only another ’50 Fleetline and that’s not likely to happen”. Over the years I often thought of that car and would dig out my pics of it and wonder what it could have been.
With the advent of the internet I’d occasionally look at fleetlines on-line but they could only be a 2 door ’49 or ’50 with that gorgeous art deco rear not a ’51 or ’52. What I found was either a restoration for more than I could afford or a total piece of junk that was beyond my meager skills to bring back to life.
By chance In Feb. of 2014 I went online and to my surprise there was a ’50 that was within my wheelhouse. So after some soul searching and a reality check with Kathy I flew to Washington and bought it. It was lowered, 350 motor and trans, Nova rear end, Mustang II front end, marginal body work and a home paint job.
I love working on it but as my dad said there’s always time to do it right the second time or in my case its often 3rd time. I’ll keep chipping away at it with hopes of turning it in to a driver with modern touches that I can take down to So Cal for a visit with Jerry Cohen and to thank him for the inspiration so long ago.
A dream come true!
Mr. Cool and his 1st 1950 Chevy Fleetline back in the day
What really attracted me to this car was that the conversion to Mustang II front suspension, 350 V8, 350 transmission and Nova rear end were completed and I wouldn’t have to go thru the fabrication work it would take to get there. The body was obviously in need of a lot of TLC as was the interior but the car was operational and all of the parts were on it. The seller included a lot of extra exterior trim and two doors which could be used later when the body work was redone.
PICS FROM THE SELLER

Met Ben Bright who is a former member of the Chip Foose “Overhaulin’ show at his new shop, Old Soul Speed and Custom, in Morro Bay and reached an agreement to sort out the body of the car.
I stripped off all of the trim, bumpers and emblems then removed the interior and all of the glass in preparation for body work.
Next came the scary Dustless Blasting of the body to discover how much damage was hidden under the paint. Turned out to be on the razors edge of overwhelming.
The shock of seeing the car in it’s bare form almost led me to abandoning the project. It looked like a tree limb had fallen on the roof, rust rot in both rear 1/4 panels, both rear wheel openings, both rear wheel tubs, the bottom of the tail pan, the left rear fender, the spare tire tub, the outer rocker panels and the bottom of both doors. In addition to the rot the body was heavily dented and looked like it had been used as a backstop at a ball game. All hidden by a generous amount of bondo and paint.
it is going to be a long slow job to restore this car in a decent manner. Oh and a bunch of money!

After a number of stops and starts the body is finally close to paint after replacing the tail pan, both 1/4 panels, replacing and customizing both rocker panels, the bottom of the driver door, cutting and resizing both doors, shaving the trunk, shaving the hood, shaving the door handles, fitting a new windshield visor, replacing the spare tire tub and expanding it for modern tires, replacing both rear wheel tubs, sorting out dents in every panel and sorting out the rot around both rear wheel wells. With a little luck it will arrive home the 1st week in September for a months worth of work to get it road worthy once again.
Final Primer
Back from the paint shop and ready for the team at Old Soul Speed and Custom to reinstall all of the panels and prep it for delivery.

Home/OCIE Warns Advisers and Broker-Dealers of Regulation S-P Compliance Issues
OCIE Warns Advisers and Broker-Dealers of Regulation S-P Compliance Issues
On April 16, 2019, the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (“OCIE”) published a list of compliance issues in connection with Regulation S-P. Regulation S-P requires registered investment advisers, investment companies, and broker-dealers (“registrants”) to provide notice to customers and maintain written records of policies and procedures related to information privacy. Privacy notices must be made available upon beginning a client relationship and at least annually* thereafter. In addition, clients must receive notice that they may opt out of making certain personal information available to third-parties.
OCIE recently examined a group of registrants to evaluate their compliance with Regulation S-P, identifying several common implementation issues. Many registrants failed to provide proper notices to clients, sent notices which contained misinformation, or neglected to distribute them altogether. Some of those examined did not have acceptable written policies and procedures in place or used documentation with major informational gaps.
The most alarming of OCIE’s findings is that many registrants were discovered to be improperly implementing or poorly designing privacy measures meant to protect client information. In some cases, confidential customer information was found to be made available to unauthorized vendors or to former employees. The lack of security on devices and networks was determined to be problematic as well. Some registrants’ employees were observed routinely accessing client information from personal devices without significant security measures in place. Employees were regularly sending unencrypted emails or accessing unsecured networks when handling client information. Other identified compliance issues included unlocked file cabinets, substandard login credentials, and poorly devised incident response plans.
Regulation S-P is designed to protect investment companies, advisers, broker-dealers, and the clients working with them. OCIE urges registrants to review, revise, and properly implement the rules related to Regulation S-P. Fairview is available, as needed, to assist clients in ensuring their privacy policies and procedures related to Regulation S-P are up-to-date and accurately reflect the firm’s practices.
*Exception to the Annual Privacy Notice delivery obligation applies if the registrant (1) does not share a client’s nonpublic personal information in a way which would trigger the right to opt out and (2) has not changed any policies or practices which would affect the disclosure of nonpublic personal information since distribution of the most recent Privacy Notice.

As a first step to reaching the 2.4% target, public R&D spending has been raised from around £9.5bn in 2016-17 to around £12.5bn in 2021-22.

This sought views on the barriers to innovation in the utilities sectors, and how we could improve the regulatory framework to further encourage innovation. We are analysing the responses to this consultation and plan to publish a response in due course.</p><p> </p><p>In June 2019 we announced measures in our White Paper on Regulation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support regulators to enable innovation in their sectors, as part of our approach to increasing R&D investment to 2.4% of GDP by 2027. We have invested in projects by both Ofcom and Ofgem to support innovation through the Regulators’ Pioneer Fund.</p>

In his statement that day, the Foreign Secretary, called on Russia to cooperate fully in the investigation. This would include assisting with the arrest of the suspects, facilitating their questioning by Dutch investigators and the JIT, facilitating their presence at trial, and if necessary, enforcing any sentences.</p>
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what support he is providing to the families of the victims of the shooting down of flight MH17 now that suspects have been charged.
<p>All families of British nationals who died in the MH17 crash were provided with consular assistance. This assistance included referrals to victim support organisations, advice on repatriation, updates on the investigation, and the deployment of a Family Liaison Officer (for those based in the UK).

However, since 2014, UK Research and Innovation (and its predecessor bodies) has supported over 2000 researchers based outside of the EU through Global Challenges Research Fund and Newton Fund programmes.</p><p> </p><p>A Newton funded research collaboration between experts from Fundação Oswaldo Cruz Recife (Fiocruz) and the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research played a major role in Brazil’s response to the Zika epidemic.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, for what reasons the consultation on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund has been delayed; and what the new timetable is for its commencement.
<p>The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is the Government’s manifesto commitment to reduce inequalities between communities across our four nations by raising productivity, once we have left the EU.</p><p>The Government recognises the importance of reassuring local areas on the future of local growth funding once we have left the EU and providing clarity on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.</p><p>The Government has over the past year, held 25 stakeholder engagement events across the UK with representatives from a breadth of sectors, in order to aid policy development. The consultation will build upon these conversations.</p><p>The Government has now reached agreement with the EU on an extension until 31 October at the latest, with the option to leave earlier as soon as a deal has been ratified. We believe that leaving with a deal is the best outcome and remain focused on ensuring our smooth and orderly withdrawal from the EU. It is right, however, that we also continue to prepare for all scenarios. Therefore, the Government continues to review our approach to consulting on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund accordingly.</p><p>Government has been working closely with interested parties across the UK whilst developing the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and will consult widely.</p>
Rossendale and Darwen

San Giacomo degli Incurabili (Rome, Italy) : View into a typical side chapel
Capriani, Francesco, ca. 1535-ca. 1588
Rome, Lazio, Italy
consecrated 1602
Date Depicted:
ca. 1990's
The church of S Giacomo degli Incurabili, Rome, also commissioned by Cardinal Antonio Maria Salviati, is da Volterra's [Capriani's] most important and influential work; he employed an oval plan (long axis about 25.5 m, short axis about 18.7 m) in a major ecclesiastical building, which may have been a development of designs for oval churches by Vignola, particularly for S Andrea (1554). A series of drawings (1590; Stockholm, Nmus.; 1595-1596; Vienna, Albertina) shows the development from a conventional rectangular plan to a longitudinal oval with transepts and then to the final unified oval plan surrounded by chapels. The double pilasters that originally articulated the side chapels gave way to single pilasters, emphasizing the longitudinal axis, and the exterior underwent a similar change, the articulated side façades being replaced by unadorned and unarticulated walls to form a simple shell for the interior. The façade to the Via del Corso followed Vignola's unexecuted design (1568) for Il Gesù, Rome, of a two-storey façade constrained by volutes.

Dining Review: Hurricane’s Bar and Grill
Cooking up a storm, Hurricane’s Chef Melissa Dodici.
Hurricane’s Bar & Grill
25 Cayuga Walk, Ocean Bay Park
fireislandhotel.com/amenities/dining
Open seven days, “noon to whenever”
Cooking up a storm of flavor with some of the freshest, homemade dishes on Fire Island is Hurricane’s Bar & Grill, a largely al fresco eatery a stone’s throw from the Atlantic in Ocean Bay Park.
Tucked inside the courtyard at the Fire Island Hotel and Resort, Hurricane’s is a cozy, family- style casual American restaurant and tiki bar offering candlelit bistro dinners and the only poolside dining on the west side of the barrier beach – with a creatively mouthwatering menu to match.
“It’s really like a hidden gem,” said Chef Melissa Dodici, the Johnson & Wales University-trained culinary artist who doubles as the locale’s general manager. “The food’s always been really good. People always say, ‘Oh, my God, how did I never know about this place?’”
Of the about two dozen restaurants that dot Fire Island, Hurricane’s is one of a handful touting an ocean side location. Although it doesn’t offer oceanfront views, it is just steps from the dunes – and it’s more low key than the two bayside spots across town: Flynn’s and the Schooner Inn. It’s not to be confused with Hurricane Grill & Wings, the Florida-based sports bar chain.
Established in 1994, Hurricane’s is currently celebrating its silver anniversary, with Dodici leading the kitchen for most of that time – 23 years, a continuity rarely found among FI chefs. Its founding came five years after the debut of the hotel, which boasts a history as a lifesaving station dating back more than a century with an old watchtower billed as the second tallest building on the island besides the lighthouse.
On a recent visit with this reporter’s wife and daughter, our attentive waitress Gabriella ensured warm and friendly service swift as a breeze. We started things off with the signature beverage – an expertly mixed hurricane, of course, made with Plantation Light and Dark rum.
For the appetizers, we eyed the consummately crisp homemade potato chips served with an amazing caramelized onion and truffle dip, the scrumptious Montauk Mussels in a white wine garlic sauce, and the fried coconut shrimp served with sweet chili sauce that were the perfect combination of crunchy on the outside and succulent on the inside. We also couldn’t resist the pair of local fish tacos, a delightful Cod with Pico de Gallo and an avocado wedge nestled in corn tortillas. Rounding out our opening round was the heavenly blue claw crab cake and field green salad with tomatoes and roasted corn.
The blue claw crab cake appetizer with field green salad with tomatoes and roasted corn.
Our main course was forecast as the delectable baby back ribs served with smashed potatoes and sautéed summer vegetables. The Mrs. went with the delicious avocado pepper jack burger, aka “the surfer dude,” served with a side of fresh, homemade rip tide fries. Yes, parents, there were chicken fingers and fries for the little one.
When we hurra-come back, we’ll be sure to try the recommended coconut Thai cod served with roasted fennel, ginger, and coconut broth served over basmati rice. The menu includes gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options.
Patrons are urged to follow Hurricane’s on Instagram – the handle is @hurricanesobp – to catch wind of specials, such as a burger and a beer for $15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesday all-you-can-eat rib nights, and Thursday family BBQ night. Hurricane’s is also known to make it rain with live music – sometimes a solo artist, other times a band, ranging from jazz to pop – on Saturdays and Sundays. As an added bonus, those who eat at Hurricane’s are welcome to use the pool. Of course, being located at a hotel, the restaurant also plays host to numerous weddings, private parties, and other catered events.
Hurricane’s namesake beverage, made with Plantation Light and Dark rum.
What really blew us away was Dodici’s commitment to using only the freshest ingredients. The fish is fresh caught from the folks at White Cap Fish Market right across the Great South Bay in Islip. Dodici is so dedicated to freshness that she can often be seen picking herbs – mint, basil, fennel, and more – as well as peppers in her garden growing right in the outdoor seating area.
“I try to make everything as homey and fresh as I can,” she said. “I try to put a really homemade twist on my menu.” This is one hurricane we’re happy to have hit home.

Ford V10 Powers World’s Longest, Heaviest Parade Float
Today in Pasadena, California is the 128th Rose Parade – an annual celebration ahead of the Rose Bowl college football game. One of the floats there has set new Guinness World Records for its immense weight and length.
At more than 137,000 pounds and over 125 feet long, the Lucy Pet Products float is the heaviest and longest parade float the world has ever seen. And powering the float, of course, is a Ford Motor Company powertrain.
More specifically, the float is propelled by the 6.8-liter petrol V10 and 6-speed TorqShift automatic transmission from the Ford F-650 and F-750 Super Duty models. In those vehicles, the engine produces 320 horsepower and 460 horsepower. Common applications for the Ford V10 outside of setting new world records with parade floats include construction, utilities, and garbage collection.
“Ford is proud to power the world’s longest and heaviest parade float,” says Ford Super Duty Fleet Marketing Manager Kevin Koester. “As the US commercial vehicle sales leader for 31 years, we’ve seen a lot of applications for our vehicles – but hauling the world’s longest, heaviest parade float certainly stands out. With the broadest line of commercial vehicles available, Ford has you covered, whether you need a truck to haul soda, sand or surfing dogs.”
More About That Float
Yes, you read that right: “surfing dogs.” Lucy Pet Products’ Gnarly Crankin’ K9 Wave Maker 2017 Rose Parade float has a 5,000-gallon water tank onboard with a portable wave generator. Eight dogs will surf the waves as the float makes its way through the route today, while a lifeguard up top directs the driver stationed below, who is effectively driving blind.
Lucy Pet Products is a Thousand Oaks-based business whose proceeds benefit The Lucy Pet Foundation: an organization committed to reducing pet overpopulation in the US.

Islam Rising
A new documentary about Geert Wilders and his stance against Islamization is about to be released. Our Flemish correspondent VH has translated an article from Algemeen Dagblad about the upcoming movie:
Wilders honored with leading role in American documentary
On May 1 in Los Angeles Geert Wilders will attend the premiere of a film made about him. This is what the PVV leader made public on Monday. The documentary, about one hour long, is on the advance of Islam, which is at the expense of our freedom, according to him.
The film, entitled “Islam Rising: Geert Wilders’ Warning to the West”, was created by the American production company PRB Films, in collaboration with the Christian Action Network. Wilders finds it “quite an honor “that a film has been made about him. He has already has seen some parts of it. There was nothing wrong with those parts, the politician said: “It is my message.’’
The documentary makers have interviewed Wilders, but also make use of many images of speeches he has given, as well as TV interviews.
The trailer includes references to Fitna, the anti-Koran film made by Wilders and published on the Internet in March 2008. Fitna, according to him, was meant to highlight the dangers of the Koran and Islamic ideology. Wilders announced earlier that he would make a sequel, but he will not be able to finish it before the national elections in June. In Fitna 2 he wants to show the consequences of mass immigration from Muslim countries.
This is the trailer for Islam Rising:
See also Geert Wilders’ website.
Commenter TR points out that the Dutch MSM is taking the opportunity to play “gotcha!” with Geert Wilders for associating himself with homophobic Christians. As TR says, “When Wilders works with Christians, he is ‘anti-gay’. When leftists cuddle up to Islamic militants who want to kill or expel gays, they are ‘tolerant’.”
From Dutch News:
Anti gay rights group makes pro-Wilders film
Anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders is to travel to the US to attend the premier of a film about him, even though the film was made together with a conservative anti-gay American Christian group.
Wilders, who has made support for gay rights a central part of his anti-Islam message, says on his website it is a ‘real honour’ that a film has been made about him.
The film is titled Islam Rising: Geert Wilders Warning to the West, and was made by small-time production company PRB Films, together with Christian Action Network.
CAN, which claims to operate along Biblical principles, mainly campaigns against Islam. But it also takes action against same sex marriage and abortion and what it calls anti-Christian art.
‘I totally disagree with them about this [gay marriage],’ Wilders was quoted as saying by the Pers. ‘But they can make a film about me.’
Wilders claimed last year that several professional US film makers had offered their help in making a follow up to his 2008 anti-Islam video compilation Fitna.

Well, it was my support of gay rights and women's rights that first got me interested in learning about how mahoundianism threatened those rights... But would I first pick a fight with CAN or Pat Robertson over their opposition to gay marriage, weakening those fighting against jihad, and then move on to trying to stop the islamization/opensewerization forces working to destroy the West? No way, no how.
One thing that a lot of people need to get straight is that if the mahoundian side wins, the debate on gay rights and women's rights, not to mention freedom of speech, religious freedom and human rights according to what they mean in Western epistemology, is over. As Bruce Bauer once wrote, while people like Pat Robertson only wanted to deny him the right to marry his partner, the imams he came across in Europe wanted to drop a wall on him. That's really what's at stake here. And, while I obviously wouldn't side with CAN on gay rights, I wouldn't pick a fight with them. Fighting jihad has to come first and foremost.

"Anti gay rights group makes pro-Wilders film"
This makes sense.. something has to be teribly wrong about these guys if they support Wilders.. ah, yes! we got it, they are conservatives, Christian and "anti-gay rights"! (the "right" of two men to mary in a church) they hold the absurdity that a marriage is between a man and a woman. i'm sure they don't opose some form of legal communion, but who cares? the are right wing islamophopes, homophopes, primitive christians, extremists. they support Wilders, so they must be crazy..
This headline is a typical journalistic manipulation of information - a way to give the readers false information without actually lying (though "reporters" these days are not above straight lies either to aggressively promote their political agenda). It's not like CAN is dedicated exclusively to opposition to gay marriage, but they seem like a typical conservative Christian group, if I got it right. Honest reporting would be "Conservative Christian group makes pro-Wilders film", or if you really want to bash them (and Wilders by extension), "Fundamentalist Christian group makes pro-Wilders film". But in this headline not only do they pick just one of CAN's issues and make it appear like it's their sole agenda, but worse than that - they omit the central fact that it's a Christian group, a religious group. They make it look like a bunch of random homophobes (most likely far-right types, the reader is likely to assume) is supporting Wilders. If you're anti gay rights than you're likely to support a far-right anti-Islam politician, being homophobe and Islamophobe fit together. If what they wanted to do with this headline is emphasize the paradox that a group that, among other things, opposes gay marriage, is supporting Wilders who made defending gays one of his lines, still they should have at least called them a "Christian anti gay rights group". I think it would even strengthen the sense of "irony" (since Wilders opposes Islam for being anti-gay, among other things, and these are Christians who are "just like the Muslims").
Many people just read the headlines, but even if they read on still the headline is the first impression where most people already make their mind up, or rather have their mind made up by the journalists.
Jedilson Bonfim,
"But would I first pick a fight with CAN or Pat Robertson over their opposition to gay marriage, weakening those fighting against jihad... ?"
First priority is definitely the physical survival and well being of gays. If gays are dead, regularly beaten up or forced back in the closet they're not very likely to get married anyway.

Sadly, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller have backed out of the showing of Islam Rising because the event has become a debate over gay rights rather than Islam.

Its a shame that anti Christian bigotry and twisted Leftwing Political Correctness has so befuddled Western Civilization....that it cant unite and present a unified front against Islam.
I found this on Pam Geller's site...
Pam says...
"Just because you consider something immoral doesn't mean you should go around heaping abuse on those who have a different view of those whom you consider immoral."
That is rich, coming from a women who heaps abuse on those Islamics who have a different moral view of many issues.
But it just goes to show you the deep divide in the West, which has made it ripe for the picking. The Left has done its job well.
I would say that Pam Geller may be the liberal that Lawrence Auster thinks that Krauthammer is. Then again, they are both Jews. shrugs ;)
EV, it's hilarious considering that I thought of the same thing when I read that. But again, considering that she is more or less a liberal, her actions are congruent with her creed. To use Lawrence Auster's terms, she makes an unprincipled exception for Islam. Her position is fairly normal, if you ask me considering what I wrote earlier.
Funny enough, we agree on something. :P

So yeah, it was just as everyone has said it was. Just a balls to the wall, sensory overload of a movie. Really fun. I wasn't sure they could pull it off, but they did so spectacularly. Now where is that darn Justice League movie? You would think a $200 million opening weekend would light a fire under someone's ass at Warner. Congrats to everyone involved for getting it right!
Saw this right after The Avengers, so it was a bit of a comedown. I thought it was OK, if a bit convoluted. It has it's moments and I think with a few tweaks to the film (and the advertising of the film), this could have done a lot better. Also the title stinks. Call it John Carter of Mars or Princess of Mars. Anything but just plain old boring John Carter.
I saw both of these last night at the wonderful, if a bit rundown, Silver Moon Drive-In in Lakeland FL as a double feature. $4 per person for two films out under the stars, you can't beat it. It is a bit of a drive to get there for me (about 45 minutes each way) so I don't get to go there too often. But I try to make the trip every so often as it is the closest drive-in to me and one of the few left in the state.

If I can get a ride I am going to go try and see it tomorrow by myself,if not then I am going to have to wait until the 26th if it is still playing:(
I hope this movie finally give Josh Wheadon the clout he should have had since Buffy(I have never seen the show but it was a huge hit and you would think after that he would be one of the more important people working on Tv these days)so that his next show is given a chance by the Networks.

No, Josh Wheadon is the guy at Asylum scripting "The Revengers."
That movie would be tragic.
Now where is that darn Justice League movie? You would think a $200 million opening weekend would light a fire under someone's ass at Warner.
I am overwhelmingly meh about a Justice League movie. Of the two big comics publishers, Marvel has always been far more engaging than DC, in my opinion. The only character in DC who has been of any interest to me is Batman.
But that's just my own personal prejudice. Ultimately I think a Justice League movie would be seen as a copycat of the Avengers, and maybe that's good enough for the fans, but I don't think Warner Brothers would make back whatever money they sink into it. The only movies with a DC character that have done well in the past few years is The Dark Knight series. Superman's a big dud and Wonder Woman's all but dead in the water. I think Warner Brothers will probably keep the characters individualized, in their own movies.
Also, Marvel's spent four years setting up The Avengers. DC or WB hasn't shown that kind of cohesiveness or even any interest in a crossover at all.
You are probably right. They were set to make a Justice League movie several years ago where they even cast the film and had a director lined up. But they chickened out, I guess over script or budget issues.
Perhaps it would be better to wish for Disney to get all of their characters back under the same umbrella so they could do a huge trilogy with the Avengers, X-Men, Spidey, and the Fantastic Four.
Oh shit the universe would explode.

Fortunately, with it making so much money it is very likely to still be in theaters by then.
And Wurwolf, you mentioned Wonder Woman being dead in the water. Whedon was working on a Wonder Woman script for a while. And he would have been the best person to get a character like that done right.
He absolutely would. I think now, though, Marvel has won that particular tug of war and Joss Whedon won't be writing Wonder Woman, if he is even still on board with it. With the success of The Avengers the new Black Widow movie has been greenlit, and while I don't know if Whedon is going to be writing or directing it, I hope he does. He really knows how to write believable kick ass and smart women.

"Wild Guitar"
I love this movie. It stars Arch Hall Jr and I'd saw it once before on TCM, now I have it on DVD and can watch in whenever.
This movie is just hilarious, without meaning to be. It stars the whole Arch gang, his dad, Dennis Steckler, and some others I recognize from Steckler movies. Why hasn't this been riffed yet?
And just found out the movie "The Last time I saw Archie" is about Arch Sr, must find this movie. But Robert Mitchum playing him? Really?

I didn't realize they had greenlit a Black Widow movie. It sounds like a good idea, particularly if Whedon is involved in some way.

They just did, like over the weekend. It had been in talks but I think they were waiting to see how 1) The Avengers did, and 2) how the Black Widow character was received. Thumbs up on both counts so we're good to go.

Oh crap, an origin story? Goddamnit! Of ALL the characters, we need an origin story for a hero without superpowers the least! Just do a movie that takes place between two of the superhero movies, where she is off mostly on her own getting important information.

FREEDOM AND SAFETY
Protecting Democratic Elections Through Secure, Verifiable Voting
i-voted.jpg
Today, at the Microsoft Build developer conference, CEO Satya Nadella announced ElectionGuard, a free open-source software development kit (SDK) from our Defending Democracy Program. ElectionGuard will make voting secure, more accessible, and more efficient anywhere it’s used in the United States or in democratic nations around the world. ElectionGuard, developed with the assistance of our partner Galois, will be available starting this summer to election officials and election technology suppliers who can incorporate the technology into voting systems. Among ElectionGuard’s many benefits, it will enable end-to-end verification of elections, open results to third-party organizations for secure validation, and allow individual voters to confirm their votes were correctly counted.
We are also announcing today that we have partnered with major election technology suppliers who are exploring the integration of ElectionGuard into their voting systems. We currently have partnerships with election technology suppliers responsible for more than half of the voting machines sold in the U.S. To help these partners, other vendors and election officials to visualize how ElectionGuard can modernize and secure the vote, we are building a reference voting system, which we will make public later this year, that will showcase the capabilities that ElectionGuard enables.
We believe technology companies have a responsibility to help protect our democratic processes and institutions. Modern technology can be used to ensure the voting process is resilient. At the same time, ElectionGuard is not intended to replace paper ballots but rather to supplement and improve systems that rely on them, and it is not designed to support internet voting. In short, ElectionGuard is a new tool for use by the existing election community and government entities that run elections.
ElectionGuard can be used to build systems with five major benefits that will protect the vote against tampering by anyone, and improve the voting process for citizens and officials:
Verifiable: Allowing voters and third-party organizations to verify election results.
Secure: Built with advanced encryption techniques developed by Microsoft Research.
Auditable: Supporting risk-limiting audits that help assure the accuracy of elections.
Open source: Free and flexible with the ability to be used with off-the-shelf hardware.
Make voting better: Supporting standard accessibility tools and improving the voting experience.
Verifiable
ElectionGuard democratizes the ability to verify election results by enabling direct public confirmation of the accuracy of those results. Voters are able to verify the correct recording of their votes, and anyone – including voters themselves – can verify that all of the recorded votes are correctly counted. As with current election systems, voters will remain unable to disclose their recorded votes to protect their privacy.
ElectionGuard verification is accomplished in two ways.
First, ElectionGuard provides each voter a tracker with a unique code that can be used to follow an encrypted version of the vote through the entire election process via a web portal provided by election authorities. During the process of vote-casting, voters have an optional step that allows them to confirm that their trackers and encrypted votes accurately reflect their selections. But once a vote is cast, neither the tracker nor any data provided through the web portal can be used to reveal the contents of the vote. After the election is complete, the tracker codes can be used by voters to confirm that their votes were not altered or tampered with and that they were properly counted.
Second, ElectionGuard also includes an open specification – or a road map – which allows anyone to write an election verifier. Voters, candidates, news media and any observers can run verifiers of their own or downloaded from sources of their choosing to confirm tabulations are as reported. The combination of the tracker – which allows individual voters to verify that their votes have been accurately recorded – and the verifier – which allows anyone to verify that the recorded votes have been accurately counted – enables full “end-to-end verification” of the correctness of election results. It will not be possible to “hack” the vote without detection.
ElectionGuard provides a complete implementation of end-to-end verifiable elections. It is designed to work with systems that use paper ballots, supplementing today’s tabulation process by providing a means of public verification of the accuracy of reported results.
To enable these two forms of verification, ElectionGuard uses something called homomorphic encryption – which enables mathematical procedures – like counting – to be done with fully encrypted data. The use of homomorphic encryption in election systems has been pioneered by Microsoft Research under the leadership of Senior Cryptographer Josh Benaloh. With homomorphic encryption, individually encrypted votes can be combined to form an encrypted tabulation of all votes which can then be decrypted to produce an election tally that protects voter privacy. By running an open election verifier, anyone can securely confirm that the encrypted votes have been correctly aggregated and that this encrypted tabulation has been correctly decrypted to produce the final tally. This process allows anyone to verify the correct counting of votes by inspecting the public election record, while keeping voting records secure. The use of homomorphic encryption to enable verification is separate from and in addition to the process of paper ballots counted as an official election tally.
Auditable
Auditing the outcomes of elections further helps increase public confidence in the outcome as well as improving operational performance of elections. In addition to the public verification enabled by ElectionGuard, the SDK explicitly supports an enhanced form of statistical administrative auditing. Efficient risk-limiting audits are conducted by election officials with the aid of an electronic record of every ballot cast in an election. In this process, ballot records are selected at random and then compared against corresponding paper ballots to confirm that they match. By individually comparing paper against corresponding electronic records, high confidence in an election result can be achieved by examining far fewer ballots than would be necessary by traditional means. The process used by ElectionGuard allows these efficient risk-limiting audits to be publicly observable and verifiable without publishing the full set of electronic vote records.
The ElectionGuard SDK, as well as components of the reference voting system we’re building, will be released under the MIT Open Source License and made available on GitHub. Microsoft is offering this software to the election industry free of charge and with the intent of election technology vendors adopting components as they see fit. The SDK is designed to be used stand-alone or easily integrated as part of a vendor’s larger system. Because it’s open source, ElectionGuard can be used not just on devices running Windows but on off-the-shelf devices from other major technology companies as well as custom hardware designed by election technology suppliers. We believe this will enable ElectionGuard to be deployed in a variety of ways.
Make voting better
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person on the planet to achieve more, and that commitment extends to those with disabilities who want to exercise their right to vote. Disability advocates we speak with want primary voting systems that are more accessible. The reference voting system we are building will demonstrate how ElectionGuard can be combined with readily available devices to build accessibility into the primary systems everyone uses.
We also wanted to make the whole voting experience easier and more modern for everyone and spent significant time thinking about the challenges people face on election day. One frustration is the difficulty of doing research on candidates and initiatives at the polling place. Our sample reference will showcase how people can make their selections at home, where they can easily research their choices, then bring a QR code to the polling place to scan and pre-populate their ballot.
When it’s time to vote, ElectionGuard supports the use of standard tablets and PCs running a variety of operating systems as a ballot marking device, which can be used to create an interface that looks and feels like modern applications people interact with every day on their phones and tablets. After people make their choices, their selections can be printed on a physical sheet of paper that they can review for accuracy and place in the ballot box as the official record of their vote.
Finally, voters will receive trackers that confirm their votes and can be used to verify that their votes were counted correctly after an election. ElectionGuard can also be used to enable optional scenarios for people to share on social media the fact that they voted, serving as a virtual “I voted” sticker encouraging others to participate in the democratic process.
We are working with a range of election technology suppliers who are excited to explore incorporating ElectionGuard into their current offerings or build new product lines incorporating the technology. These partnerships represent organizations that supply more than half of the voting systems used in the United States today including Democracy Live, Election Systems & Software, Hart InterCivic, BPro, MicroVote, and VotingWorks. We will continue to work with these partners, and any other interested vendors, over the coming months as they evaluate ElectionGuard. The early feedback has been exciting.
The code for ElectionGuard is being built together with our development partner, Galois. We are excited that Galois recently received $10 million in funding from DARPA to build a demonstration voting system to help evaluate secure hardware DARPA researchers are developing as part of a separate DARPA program. The agency views ensuring the integrity and security of the election process as a critical national security concern and plans to implement the ElectionGuard SDK as part of their effort to enable an end-to-end verifiable component in future versions of their demonstration voting system. It is encouraging to see DARPA investing in technology, which will not only find an application in securing the voting process but could contribute to more secure and transparent computing for a variety of devices and applications.
We are also pleased to announce a partnership with Columbia University’s Columbia World Projects. Columbia professors in statistics, political science, computer science, and international and public affairs and Microsoft will be joining forces to bring ElectionGuard to life by piloting the technology in the coming election cycle.
The ElectionGuard SDK will be available through GitHub beginning this summer. We encourage the election technology community to begin building offerings based on this technology and expect early prototypes using ElectionGuard will be ready for piloting during the 2020 elections in the United States, with significant deployments for subsequent election cycles. Over time we will seek to update and improve the SDK to support additional voting scenarios such as mail-in ballots and ranked choice voting. Microsoft will not charge for using ElectionGuard and will not profit from partnering with election technology suppliers that incorporate it into their products.

Bush Knew Iraq Info Was False!
WASHINGTON, July 10, 2003
"Senior administration officials tell CBS News the President’s mistaken claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa was included in his State
of the Union address -- despite objections from the CIA.
Before the speech was delivered, the portions dealing with Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction were checked with the CIA for accuracy, reports CBS
News National Security Correspondent David Martin.
CIA officials warned members of the President’s National Security Council staff the intelligence was not good enough to make the flat statement Iraq
tried to buy uranium from Africa.
The White House officials responded that a paper issued by the British government contained the unequivocal assertion: “Iraq has ... sought
significant quantities of uranium from Africa.” As long as the statement was attributed to British Intelligence, the White House officials argued,
it would be factually accurate. The CIA officials dropped their objections and that’s how it was delivered.
“The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa,” Mr. Bush said.
The statement was technically correct, since it accurately reflected the British paper. But the bottom line is the White House knowingly included
in a presidential address information its own CIA had explicitly warned might not be true."

How We Know the Ground is Beginning to Open Under Bush's Feet...and Soon He Will Sink into
the Land of Liar's Consequences
GW Bush:
"There's going to be, you know, a lot of attempts to try to rewrite
history, and I can understand that. But I'm absolutely confident in
the decision I made."
Excerpt from this article
Bush now realizes how history will portray him. He's already defending a history which will someday prove him to be the President who tried to revise history first, the accuse others of doing it later.

U.S. authorities need to move quickly to either set up a national security system run by Iraqis or bring in international peacekeeping troops from other nations, possibly including Muslim countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh
U.S. Military Scholars Warn of Wider Iraqi Insurgency
``If U.S. forces are still there a year from now, individuals who suggest the United States is there for bad motives will feel more comfortable stirring up problems,'' said W. Andrew Terrill, research professor at the Carlisle, Pa.-based War College's Strategic Studies Institute.
``Even the (Shi'ites) are saying you need to think about leaving, and they're the ones we're getting along with at the moment,'' he added.

Video: Sean Hannity Asks Jared Kushner About Khashoggi‘s Murder, Gets Answer of Sorts – Newsweek
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner ducked a question about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi in an interview on Fox News.
Presenter Sean Hannity asked President Donald Trump’s son-in-law about the killing of the journalist at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October.

Hannity asked Kushner whether a new alliance “emerging against Iranian hegemony” been been hurt due to the killing.
“What is the status? I know that 17 individuals are being held responsible. And do you feel that we’ll get to the bottom of it if we haven’t already?” Hannity said.

But Kushner’s reply was cautious. He said: “I think our intelligence agencies are making their assessments and we’re hoping to make sure that there’s justice brought where that should be.”
He then went on to answer a question that had not actually been posed, namely about the “broader region,” and about how to “bring a deal about between the Israelis and the Palestinians.”
No mention was made by Hannity over reports, including in The New York Times, that Kushner had advised the under fire Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman on how to deal with the global outcry against his purported role in The Washington Post journalist’s death.
Meanwhile CNN reported that a transcript provided by Turkey described Khashoggi’s final moments.
Khashoggi is said to have recognized one of the men, General Maher Mutreb, who allegedly told him: “You are coming back.”
Khashoggi replied: “You can’t do that…people are waiting outside,” the transcript said, according to CNN. He also repeatedly shouted: “I can’t breathe.”
The transcript, which has not been independently confirmed, describes the sounds of Khashoggi’s body being dismembered by a saw and the alleged perpetrators are advised to listen to music to block out the sound.
A source told CNN that the transcript suggests phone calls are made, thought to be to senior figures in Riyadh.

Turkey’s chief prosecutor has filed warrants for the arrest of suspects in the killing, citing a “strong suspicion” that Saud al-Qahtani, an aide to the crown prince and General Ahmed al-Asiri, the deputy head of foreign intelligence, were among those who planned the murder.
However Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir has said: “We don’t extradite our citizens,” Sky News reported. Riyadh says the killing was a rogue operation carried out without the crown prince’s knowledge.
In light of perceived Saudi intransigence, Turkey has called on the international community to investigate the killing under international law.
Republican senator Marco Rubio has criticized the White House’s handling of the killing.
“The bottom line is that there is no way that 17 people close to [Prince Mohammed] got a charter plane, flew to a third country, went into a consulate, killed and chopped up a man and flew back, and he didn’t know about it, much less order it,” he told CNN.

HSP Overview FAQs Camp Details Testimonials How to Apply/Deadlines Forms Volunteer Opportunities Return to HSP home page
Q: How will we spend our time and what are the days like?
A: We will spend most of Sunday in team-building and orientation sessions. Monday through Friday will generally follow the daily schedule that you will find later in this manual. We will have an early breakfast and devotional period then all the work teams will depart camp for their assigned work site. You will spend the day working on home repairs at your work site, stopping at some point to eat the lunch you brought (on site). You will return to camp in the late afternoon for a shower and free time. After dinner we will have an evening program (usually including singing and some other fun activities). After a little free time to chill out, all will retire to their cabin for the night.
Q: Where do we stay?
A: We will stay at a group camp at William B. Umstead State Park on the west side of Raleigh. There is a large meeting hall with a full kitchen where we will eat breakfast and supper each day and have our programs at night. There are four cabin units a short distance from the meeting hall; two will be for females and two for males. The cabins are very rustic and have no electricity but they have serviceable, though not luxurious, beds with foam mattresses. There are toilet and sink facilities at each cabin unit and a central bathhouse near the meeting hall. These facilities are just a few years old and are very up to date.
Q: Who do we work with?
A: Everyone is assigned to a work team for the week. A work team typically consists of 4 youth and 2 adults. Each work team is a mix of church groups, ages, genders and youth with and without previous HSP experience.
Q: Will our group be split up or will we be together?
A: Each work team will be made up of youth from different church groups. This allows you to meet new people and make new friends. We will all be together for meals, worship, programs and game times. Each church group will have a private time of reflection as part of each evening program. There are no church group restrictions on who shares a cabin.
Q: Who do we work for?
A: The homeowners we work for are elderly people who could be anywhere in Wake County. Each has called Resources for Seniors or another agency in search of help for a problem with their home. They are often either unable to afford or unable to manage having the work done through conventional means.
Q: Do I have to know how to do home repair work to be able to help?
A: No, there will be two work team leaders on your work team who will instruct and guide you to accomplish the work at your site. The work team leaders will have information about the work to be done at the work site before the project starts.
Q: What kind of help will our work team have?
A: Each work site will be visited by a project advisor before HSP week. The project advisor will learn what work is to be done and the method of repair that we will use. This will be put into a formal write up and this write up will be provided to the work team leaders before arriving at HSP. Additionally, a site supervisor is assigned to each work site. Your site supervisor will be your support person for that job.
Q: Are there rules we have to follow?
A: Of course there are! We have guidelines and a behavior covenant; you will find them on this site. We also support the guidelines set by your group's leadership.
Q: Do I have to do work that I am afraid to do?
A: Absolutely not. At no time should you do anything about which you are afraid or for which you do not feel you have received adequate direction or training. Youth or adult participants with particular safety issues (e.g., a fear of heights) should provide this information to us at application time.
Q: Do we do real work?
A: Yes, we do. We frequently saw into rotted floors, build wheelchair ramps, replace fascia and soffits and install vinyl flooring over a repaired floor.
Q: Are the meals provided for us?
A: Yes. Eat before you arrive on Sunday. We will provide every meal thereafter through breakfast on Saturday morning.
Q: Can you accommodate my vegetarian youth?
A: Yes. Please make us aware of any special dietary considerations at application time.
Q: Who can participate?
A: Youth participants must be rising-10th graders through graduated seniors. (No rising 9th graders please!) Adult participants must be at least 21 years old and at least 25 years old to drive a vehicle with youth participants.
Q: How much does it cost to participate?
A: See the Highland Service Project homepage.
Q: What is the application process?
A: See the Highland Service Project Apply/deadlines page.
Q: What is the cancellation policy?

Skunk Ape: Area’s own stinky big foot
April 2, 2009 Eliot Kleinberg's Post Time columns.
Readers: In honor of April Fools’ Day, we bring you: the Skunk Ape!
Florida’s answer to Bigfoot is a 7- to 12-foot, 300- to 700-pound human-ape thing that really stinks.
It supposedly hides in muddy, abandoned alligator caves, thus the smell.
For more than two centuries, people have sworn they saw it dash across the Everglades or retreat from a rural road.
In Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, barking dogs, petrified security guards and bug-eyed kids bear testament.
There are photographs, grainy and distant, but attested to by their bearers.
More than 75 sightings were reported in Florida in the past two decades.
The scare had started when an amateur archaeologist claimed he’d seen the thing in southwest Florida’s Big Cypress Swamp.
But it was concentrated locally in the 1970s, when South Florida then had more open space and about half the people it does now.
A local dispatcher said he was advising lawmen that locals were so jumpy the cops should identify themselves when they approached homes.
“I know it exists,” Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy Marvin Lewis said in 1980.
He said he and fellow deputy Ernie Milner made some 50 forays to the wild.
They said they shot something in 1974 west of Lantana that grunted and fled back to the dark. Another time, they found mysterious hair on a barbed-wire fence.
Lewis put in 27 years and retired in 1997. He hasn’t changed his mind.
He said recently that any along the coast were long ago driven west by encroaching civilization.
“I couldn’t point to a photo and say, ‘That’s what I saw,'” he said. “But cops act on investigation and evidence. And the evidence says something was there.”
Palm Beach Post file photo: This 1980 photo shows Marvin Lewis (left) and Ernie Milner, both former Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies, with memorabilia about the Skunk Ape. More than 75 sightings have been reported in Florida in the past two decades.

The Baltic Film Festival
Three Countries. One Logo. Multiple Touch Points.
From Strategy
We were tasked to create a logo that encompasses a diverse and timeless cultural identity. The Baltics provides incredible opportunities for inspiration; from the rolling landscapes to the traditional dress, the Baltic identity is captured on film as a celebration of the enduring culture.
The distinct film industries of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia communicate the diversity and cultural intricacies that are unique to the Baltic culture. With films ranging from quirky comedies to melancholic dramas the festival invites Australian audiences to discover the passion, diversity, and humour of the Baltics through the lens of a camera.
We understand that a good logo requires lots of research… and some inspiration.
The diverse nature of the Baltic culture, the legacy and heritage of the region, and the creativity of the film industries provided the stroke of inspiration needed to create the logo.
To Activation
The logo encompasses the spirit of filmmaking. Alluding to a director using his hands to crop an image or frame a scene, the logo was created by using the two middle letters of “Baltic” as a frame or cropping tool. The Baltic Film Festival crops into an area of the world, The Baltics, and the logo reflects this view.
The new logo design was applied to multiple touch points including posters, postcards, light boxes, the website, articles, programs, social media and web banners.
The logo is edgy, unexpected and unique.

Dorgan cites 'major breakthrough' on Indian health
Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota), the chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, announced a "major breakthrough" today on the Indian Health Care Improvement Act.
Dorgan said S.1790, a bill to permanently reauthorize the IHCIA, has been included in H.R.3590, the national health care reform package that's being considered in the Senate. Passage is expected before Christmas.
"Including the bill in the broader health reform package indicates that Senate leaders recognize the improvements for Indian Country are both important and urgent," Dorgan said. "American Indian and Alaska Natives are the only group of Americans which the federal government actually has a trust responsibility to provide health care for, and so it is important that any health reform package contains the Indian Health Care Improvement Act."
The House included the IHCIA in its version of the health reform bill. The two chambers will have to resolve any differences before it becomes law but this is the closest the IHCIA has come to final passage in 10 years.
According to Dorgan's office, IHCIA will:
* Permanently re-authorize all current Indian health care programs;
* Authorize programs to increase the recruitment and retention of health care professionals, such as updates to the scholarship program, demonstration programs which promote new, innovative models of health care, to improve access to health care for Indians and Alaska Natives;
* Authorize long-term care, including home health care, assisted living, and community based care. Current law provides for none of these forms of long-term care;
* Establish mental and behavioral health programs beyond alcohol and substance abuse, such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and domestic violence prevention programs;
* Improve the youth suicide prevention programs available to Native Americans, including streamlining the process by which Indian tribes apply for youth suicide prevention grants;
* Establish demonstration projects that provide incentives to use innovative facility construction methods, such as modular component construction and mobile health stations, to save money and improve access to health care services;
* Require that the IHS budget account for medical inflation rates and population growth, in order to combat the dramatic underfunding of the Indian health system.

Body Of George H.W. Bush Returns To Washington
by Lorene Schwartz
in People
— Dec 6, 2018
On Monday George H.W. Bush embarked on his final tour of Washington as the nation prepared to bid farewell to its 41st president. "He and the first lady will attend the funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C".
As the nation mourned the death of former president George H.W. Bush over the weekend, his beloved service dog was by his side to the end.
Mourners began lining up at the Capitol to pay respects to Bush, who died at his Houston home on Friday night at the age of 94, seven months after the death of his wife Barbara.
The casket carrying the body of George HW Bush is set to arrive in Washington on Monday afternoon, aboard the USA military plane commonly known as Air Force One.
Those reflections will continue throughout the week, when Bush's casket travels from Houston, Bush's hometown, to Washington, DC to lie in state in the United States Capitol.
Mueller Reports Michael Flynn is Singing Like a Canary
Cohen pleaded guilty last week to lying to Congress about negotiations he had on Trump's behalf for a real estate deal in Moscow. In the year since he was charged, Flynn has been a recluse, and mystery surrounds the scope of his cooperation with Mueller.
A photo posted of George H.W. Bush's service dog appearing to mourn beside the casket of his old master has left social media a little teary-eyed. A funeral service is set for Wednesday at the National Cathedral. This website is not intended for users located within the European Economic Area. Bush's casket will then be transported by motorcade to the presidential library, where he will be buried at the gated family plot near his wife and their daughter Robin, who died of leukemia at age 3.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the first official to speak in the Rotunda, described George HW Bush as a "humble servant" and "a principled leader".
Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are all expected to attend the service, according to sources familiar with the planning of the funeral. Wednesday has been designated by President Trump as a national day of mourning, and most federal agencies will be closed with federal workers given the day off. Flags on public buildings are flying at half-staff for 30 days.
Shortly before leaving the service, he married his 19-year-old sweetheart, Barbara Pierce, and forged the longest presidential marriage in US history. H.W. Bush will be honored at several public and private events in Houston and Washington before his burial on Thursday in Texas.
He was denied a second term by Arkansas Gov. Clinton, who would later become a close friend.

Tesla boosts capital raise to $2.7 billion, Musk buys more stock
by Claude Bryan
in Markets
Elon Musk is said to be interested in purchasing up to $25M worth of the shares in the offering.
The aggregate gross proceeds of the offerings, assuming full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional securities, would be approximately $2.3 billion before discounts and expenses. Tesla shares rose 1.3 percent to $247.38 at 4:36 a.m.in NY in pre-market trading.
Tesla's chief executive officer said on several occasions a year ago that Tesla would no longer need to raise capital as its first mass-manufactured vehicle ramped up. The company previously warned that first quarter income will be negatively impacted, because of lower than expected delivery volumes and several pricing adjustments., Tesla said this month it delivered 63, 000 vehicles throughout the quarter, well below analysts consensus estimates of 76, 000.
This has the Model 3 starting at just £38,900 ($A72,286 at today's rates) if the United Kingdom plug-in vehicle grant is taken into account, and including Tesla's "destination and documentation fee" of £850 ($A1,579 at today's rates).
In March, Tesla had to repay a $920 million convertible in cash because the stock failed to reach the conversion price of around $360 per share.
Rep. Harley Rouda derides Trump for comments after call with Putin
Mueller's report concluded that Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was "sweeping and systematic". Mueller didn't find evidence that Trump or any of his associates conspired with the Russian effort.
Tesla has chosen Goldman Sachs and Citigroup to manage its new offerings.
Last quarter was Tesla's first sales period after the phaseout of the lucrative federal tax credit - buyers get $3,750 from $7,500 per vehicle.
In recent months the auto firm has revealed better step forward as it is moved from physical store-based sales to online sales and Tesla has avail major markets like Europe with large margins. At the end of previous year Tesla was valued at about $63 billion. In 2019, it expects capital expenditures of $2 billion to $2.5 billion and about $2.5 billion to $3 billion annually for 2020 and 2021.
This scheming is nothing more than Tesla trying to level the playing field, more so if you remember how much the Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Kona Electric cost. BofA Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank Securities, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse are the additional book-running managers. The loss of $4.10 per share left Musk spending much conference call explaining how it happened.
Selling new shares often depresses a company's stock price, but Tesla's stock ended the day up 4.3%, a sign that some investors still believe the company can achieve its ambitious goals and are willing to finance those dreams.

The Tragic "Cromnibus" Bill and a Win for Common Sense in Fayetteville, AR
Having trouble viewing this email? Click here
The National Emergency Coalition
The TRAGIC "Cromnibus" Bill
The Successful Repeal of a Sexual Orientation Ordinance in Fayetteville AR
We told you last week that we needed to keep our eyes on Congress during the "lame duck" session. Our concerns were well-founded.
In an unbelievable move this week, congressional leaders in both parties joined President Obama to pass a combined Continuing Resolution and Omnibus Budget Bill ("Cromnibus"). Not only did they spend $1.1 Trillion dollars of taxpayer money, but they left Obamacare and the Immigration Executive Order untouched. There was not even an attempt to push back against these two glaring instances of presidential overreach and abuse of authority.
Join us on Tuesday to discuss the ramifications of what happened on Capitol Hill this week. We hope to have a Congressman or staffer as one of our guests.
We will also discuss the successful repeal of the Sexual Orientation Gender Identity (SOIGI) ordinance in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Ordinance 119 would have given men and women the right to ignore their biological gender and use the public restroom that matches their declared "gender-identity."
That means a grown man could lawfully enter the women's restrooms by simply declaring that he identifies as a woman. Fayetteville is known as a liberal city, but the city council's ordinance was overturned by 52% of the voters. There will be a series of such ordinances introduced around the country next year, and we will fight every one of them.
Finally we will outline some of our achievements this year and what we hope to accomplish next year.
Please join us this Tuesday at 12 Noon, December 16th for our the National Emergency Coalition Conference call.
The telephone number is 712-432-0900.
Access code - 199176#.
This will be the final call of 2014.
Thank you for your patriotism and steadfastness in the battle to preserve our Constitutional Republic, and for being with us week after week to address the national emergency which grips our nation. No king will ever sit on a throne in our country because God sits on the throne of our hearts.
We will resume these calls again next year starting on Tuesday, January 6th at Noon EST.
We will keep fighting for the soul of our country until we completely defeat the enemies of our Constitutional freedom and Judeo-Christian heritage. We will continue to fight for the full realization of our Pledge of Allegiance as "one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
As always, thank you for your support of STAND. May God bless you and may He continue to bless the United States of America.
For God and Country,
E.W. Jackson
President, STAND
P.S. "I also have an exciting announcement to make about and important project. Don't miss this call."

Should Kratom Usage Really Be Legal?
December 6, 2018, 2:12 pm / kratoma59123.blogolize.com
The leaves of the herb kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a local of Southeast Asia in the coffee household, are utilized to alleviate pain and enhance mood as an opiate substitute and stimulant. The herb is also combined with cough syrup to make a popular drink in Thailand called "4x100." Because of its psychedelic homes, nevertheless, kratom is prohibited in Thailand, Australia, Myanmar (Burma) and Malaysia. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration lists kratom as a "drug of concern" since of its abuse capacity, stating it has no genuine medical usage. The state of Indiana has banned kratom intake outright.
Now, seeking to manage its population's growing dependence on methamphetamines, Thailand is attempting to legalize kratom, which it had actually initially prohibited 70 years ago.
At the same time, scientists are studying kratom's capability to assist wean addicts from much stronger drugs, such as heroin and drug. Studies reveal that a compound found in the plant could even function as the basis for an alternative to methadone in dealing with addictions to opioids. The moves are just the latest action in kratom's unusual journey from home-brewed stimulant to prohibited pain reliever to, potentially, a withdrawal-free treatment for opioid abuse.
With kratom's legal status under evaluation in Thailand and U.S. researchers delving into the compound's capacity to assist drug abuser, Scientific American spoke with Edward Boyer, a teacher of emergency medicine and director of medical toxicology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Boyer has actually dealt with Chris McCurdy, a University of Mississippi teacher of medical chemistry and pharmacology, and others for the past a number of years to better understand whether kratom use must be stigmatized or commemorated.
[An modified transcript of the interview follows.]
How did you become thinking about studying kratom?
I came across kratom while browsing online, however didn't believe much of it at. When I discussed it to the NIH, they recommended I speak with a researcher at the University of Mississippi who was doing work on kratom. I no quicker hung up the phone when a case of kratom abuse popped up at Massachusetts General Health Center.
How did this Mass General client concerned abuse kratom?
He was a [43-year-old] successful software engineer who had been self-medicating for persistent discomfort [as a result of thoracic outlet syndrome, a group of disorders that occurs when the blood vessels or nerves in the space in between the collarbone and the first rib-- the thoracic outlet-- end up being compressed, triggering pain in the shoulders and neck in addition to tingling in the fingers] He had started with discomfort tablets, then changed to OxyContin, and after that relocated to Dilaudid, which is a high-potency opioid analgesic. He had actually specified where he was injecting himself with 10 milligrams of Dilaudid each day, which is a big dosage. His wife found out and demanded that he quit.
He checked out kratom online and started making a tea out of it. For the most part, this assisted him avoid the opioid withdrawal he had actually been experiencing. After he began drinking the kratom tea, he likewise began to observe that he might work longer hours and that he was more attentive to his better half when they would speak. He started exploring with ways to improve his awareness by including modafinil [a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-- approved stimulant] with his kratom tea. That's when he began to seize and needed to be given the medical facility. I have no concept how that mix of drugs caused a seizure, but that's how he ended up at Mass General Medical Facility. Nobody there had actually become aware of kratom abuse at the time. [Boyer and numerous associates, including McCurdy, published a case study about this incident in the June 2008 concern of the journal Dependency.]
The client was investing $15,000 yearly on kratom, according to your study, which is quite a lot for tea. What happened when he left the healthcare facility and stopped utilizing it?
After go to this web-site his remain at Mass General, he went off kratom cold turkey. The remarkable thing is that his only withdrawal sign was a runny noise. When it comes to his opioid withdrawal, we found out that kratom blunts that procedure awfully, awfully well.
Where did your kratom research study go from there?
I had a small grant from the NIH's National Institute on Substance abuse to look at people who self-treated chronic pain with opioid analgesics they acquired without prescription on the Internet. This was an extremely restricted population, however it nonetheless determines in the numerous thousands of individuals. About the time I started the research study, the DEA and the state boards of pharmacy began closing down online pharmacies, so sources of pain killer for these hundreds of countless people in the United States dried up instantaneously. A variety of them switched to kratom.
The number of individuals are using kratom in the U.S.?
I don't know that there's any public health to inform that in an truthful method. The common substance abuse metrics don't exist. However what I can tell you, based upon my experience researching emerging drugs of abuse is that it is simple to get online.
How does kratom work?
Mitragynine-- the isolated natural product in kratom leaves-- binds to the very same mu-opioid receptor as morphine, which explains why it deals with discomfort. It's got kappa-opioid receptor activity as well, and it's also got adrenergic activity as well, so you stay alert throughout the day. I do not know how reasonable that is in humans who take the drug, but that's what some medical chemists would appear to suggest.
Kratom also has serotonergic activity, too-- it binds with serotonin receptors. So if you want to deal with depression, if you desire to treat opioid discomfort, if you wish to treat drowsiness, this [ substance] actually puts everything together.
Overdosing and drug blending aside, is kratom dangerous?
When you overdose on these drugs, your respiratory rate drops to absolutely no. In animal research studies where rats were given mitragynine, those rats had no breathing anxiety.
What barriers have you face when attempting to study kratom?
I attempted to get an NIH grant to study kratom particularly. They stated they 'd never heard of that drug when I went to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. When I went to the National Center for Alternative and complementary Medicine, they stated this is a drug of abuse, and we do not fund drug of abuse research study. They want drugs that are utilized therapeutically. [A team led by McCurdy, who verifies that it is hard to get funding to study kratom, did manage to secure a three-year grant from the NIH Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence to investigate the herb's opioid-like impacts.]
Drug companies are the ones who can separate a particular substance, do chemistry on it, study and customize the structure, figure out its activity relationships, and then produce modified particles for testing. You have ultimately file for a brand-new drug application with the redirected here FDA in order to carry out scientific trials.
Why wouldn't large pharmaceutical business try to make a hit drug from kratom?
A minimum of one pharma company [Smith, Kline & French, now part of GlaxoSmithKline] was taking a look at it in the 1960s, however something didn't work for them. Either it wasn't a strong adequate analgesic or the solubility was bad or they didn't have a drug delivery system for it. To the cutting-edge pharmaceutical company thinking in 1960s, this substance was not sufficient to be brought to market. Naturally, now that we have a country with lots of addicted people dying of breathing depression, having a drug that can successfully treat your discomfort with no breathing depression, I think that's quite cool. It might be worth a 2nd look for pharma companies.
There are reports that Thailand may legislate kratom to help that country control its meth issue. Could that work?
They can legalize kratom until they're blue in the truth however the face is that kratom is native to Thailand-- it's my response easily offered and constantly has actually been. Drug users are still choosing for methamphetamines, which are stronger than kratom, not to mention dirt widely readily available and cheap . I think that Thailand is just trying to say that they're doing something about their meth problem, however that it might not be that efficient.
Is kratom addictive?
I do not understand that there are research studies showing animals will compulsively administer kratom, but I know that tolerance develops in animal models. I can inform you the man in our Mass General case report went from injecting Dilaudid to using [$ 15,000] worth of kratom annually. That type of sounds addictive to me. My gut is that, yeah, individuals can be addicted to it.
What are the risks posed by kratom use or abuse?
It's much like any other opioid that has abuse liability. Once marketed as a therapeutic item and later was criminalized, Heroin was. Yet OxyContin [ a pain reliever with a high danger for abuse] was marketed as a therapeutic but has actually remained legal. You put the correct safeguards in place and hope that individuals won't abuse a compound. Speaking as a scientist, a doctor and a practicing clinician, I believe the fears of negative events do not mean you stop the clinical discovery procedure completely.

Irish corn-drying kilns, their Bronze Age origins?
Colm June 7, 2011 12 Comments
A number of recent archaeological excavations have shed light on the possible ancient origins of corn-drying kilns in Ireland. These structures played an important role in cereal production, especially in damp climates such as Ireland where they were used to remove moisture prior to storage as well as to harden cereals to facilitate threshing and milling. They were used right up until the 19th century and would have been a significant part of the local agrarian economy. The kilns typically consist of a sunken pit, which may be keyhole or figure-of-eight shaped in plan. This was then covered in a superstructure that could be made out of variety of materials such as earthen sods, wood, stone and straw. In nearly all archaeological excavations, all that survive of the kilns is the sunken pit that would have held the fire source and over which the grain was dried.
Corn drying kiln (by Alan Braby for National Museum of Scotland)
Until recently it was assumed that corn-drying kilns were an agricultural innovation that was introduced to Ireland from Late Roman Britain where a number of similar kiln types are known. This belief was reinforced by the fact that the vast majority of excavated Irish kilns date from the Late Iron Age (0-400 AD) or, especially, the Early Medieval period (400-1200 AD). However, a number of recent excavations have demonstrated that in Ireland corn drying kilns may have had a much earlier, Bronze Age ancestry.
Knockgraffon corn-drying kiln
For example at Knockgraffon, Co. Tipperary a Middle Bronze Age figure-of-eight shaped kiln was recently excavated by Colm Moriarty to the south of a Late Bronze Age roundhouse (McQuade, Molloy & Moriarty, 2009, 33). The kiln, which measured 3.8m in length, consisted of two concave bowls (pits), separated by a short flue. The larger western bowl had evidence for in situ burning along its sides and base, suggesting that it acted as a fire chamber, while the smaller eastern bowl was probably where the grain was dried. A large quantity of indeterminate cereal grains were recovered from the kiln, in addition to three barley grains (ids Ryan Allen), while charcoal analysis indicated that four different types of wood were used as fuel namely ash, hazel, oak and pomacious fruitwood (possibly hawthorn; ids Lorna O’Donnell). A single cereal grain from near the base of the kiln was radiocarbon dated to 1667-1496 BC (2 sigma) making this one of the oldest, if not the oldest, corn-drying kiln yet excavated in Ireland.
Carrigtogher corn drying kiln (copyright: Headland Archaeology)
Another, slightly younger, Middle Bronze Age kiln was also excavated near Nenagh in Co. Tipperary. It was uncovered at Carrigtogher (Harding) townland by Liam Hackett, along works associated with the new N7 motorway (Hackett 2010, 34-35). The kiln was very similar in size and form to the Knockgraffon example, and it was radiocarbon dated to c. 1520-1435 BC. It was also figure-of-eight in plan and consisted of a drying chamber, a fire chamber and a short connecting flue. Samples taken from the fills of the kiln showed that charred wheat grains, indeterminate cereals and hazelnut shell were present.
Reconstructed corn-drying kiln
These two Middle Bronze Age kilns are an important addition the Irish archaeological record as they indicate that a sophisticated means of processing crops may have been available in Ireland at much earlier date than previously thought. They don’t appear to be the only examples either, as a number of other probable Bronze Age kilns have also been excavated, including a keyhole-shaped kiln from Kilsharvan, Co. Meath, a wedge shaped kiln from Clonmoney North, Co. Clare, a sub-rectangular kiln form Laughanstown, Co. Dublin, a kiln from Ballybarney, Co. Wicklow and a possible kiln pit from Doonmoon, Co. Limerick (Russell 2003; Murphy 2003; McQuade 2005; Gregory 2004; Gowen 1988, 53). While slightly further afield, a Middle Bronze Age (1446–1367 BC) keyhole-shaped kiln has recently been excavated at Kames in Argyll, Scotland (Ellis 2013, 3-4).
Together these structures suggest that corn-drying kilns may have been an indigenous innovation, which pre-dated Roman farming practises by a considerable length of time.

12 thoughts on “Irish corn-drying kilns, their Bronze Age origins?”
John Tierney says:
This article seems too accepting of the quoted authors interpretations – there are multiple potential hypotheses for some of those feature groups, not just the corn-drying kiln.
Interconnecting pits may have been ‘clothed’ with timber structures similar to troughs in burnt mounds.
And the presence of charred grain in a pit does not indicate grain became charred there -only that it was deposited there.
Hi John, thanks for your thoughts! You can never keep an archaeologist happy :). As I didn’t work on most of the sites mentioned I had to rely on the directors interpretations. Admittedly the information on the ‘kilns’ from the excavation bulletins can be skimpy, but the two main kiln sites mentioned in the blog post seem pretty convincing (well to me anyway). I wonder would we even be asking this question if they had returned early medieval dates? Sometimes, if it excavates like a kiln, looks like a kiln, and acts like a kiln, maybe it’s just a kiln?
dont forget that most of those features was explored by polish hands – dont thanks , just remember !
Robert are you a polish archaeologist?
Admin should delete that last show of ignorance.
Archaeological excavation is based on multiple working hypotheses – each hypothesis must be tested rigorously by the evidence available and a final preferred hypothesis arrived at by a process of elimination.
There are other possible hypotheses for those feature groups besides a CDK and if you can’t think of them cos they ‘quack like a duck’ then I’d ask that you engage in the academic exercise of trying to come up with some alternatives. What other processes would involve interconnected pits? Salt, soap, fat, food…Ask what this structure could have looked like when it functioned in antiquity? Sketch the alternatives.
At least offer a word of caution or an alternative hypotheses.
‘The current preferred hypothesis is that these are early CDKs but an alternative hypothesis is that they are poorly preserved remnants of some other domestic/agricultural process/structure.’
I am not teaching anybody ‘to suck eggs’ here but as you are taking the blog-with-comments approach to publication then I am offering my opinion as a comment. The article would be stronger if it were more critical in its approach.
There should also be some consideration of the provenance of the C14 dates.
John, thanks for the response. My original post was based on the opinions of the actual excavators who dug these sites, and frankly I agreed with them. You don’t, which is fair enough, and hence this discussion is taking place (a good thing). If you would like to post a counter argument I’d be more than willing to put it up on the website (even though you are already kind of doing it in these comments). My blog posts are intended to be short introductions on the latest happenings in Irish archaeology for both the lay person and professional archaeologists. Finding the balance between academia and accessibility is my goal. Colm
Colm, the site and approach is fresh and very well executed and is the way of the future but accessibility must also include critical thinking – one of the values of archaeology is that it encourages critical thinking.
I do not suggest you change your fresh writing style but if you are going to the trouble of listing extensive comparanda then why not add alternative hypotheses as well.
If I read anything (final reports, monograph chapters) we produce, or anybody elses for that matter, I always look for their alternatives.
What comes to mind is the Waterford City excavations in the late eighties. When a number of houses were being written up after the first phase of excavations they were interpreted over a few pages as single-aisled structures with lanes between but the alternative was offered, as a single paragraph, that they may also be three aisled structures. The director allowed for a number of possibilities although preferring one. Subsequent excavations and better preservation conditions allowed for a reinterpretation by the same excavators as the houses being v definitely three-aisled.
I can also think of an internal project where the field crew dug the site as a kiln but when the dates came back it was reinterpreted as a fulacht fiadh. The director, an excellent Irish field archaeologist had just never seen such a degraded fulacht fiadh before. So I hope I am not being holier-than-thou; I just think good science requires all field archaeologists to think in multiple hypotheses and good science writing to reflect that.
As for writing a response I have something coming out later this summer on interconnected pits (based on http://www.slideshare.net/eachtra/burnt-mounds-and-food-processing-lecture-given-to-the-nra-2009-seminar) which I will link back to here.
Rgds John
PS. Of course I should have also allowed that Robert might be a Polish digger with a very high opinion of himself instead of presuming ignorant bigotry. Some of the best field archaeologists, and nicest people, I have worked with over the last 5 years have been non-Irish.
Thanks for your input John and I’ll definitely take your comments on board. I look forward to reading your article. All the best, Colm.
Conor McAdams says:
@ John Tierney: You mention in the discussion that you would link a publication of yours from Summer 2011 regarding interpretation of interconnected pits, i would really appreciate this as I am writing an undergraduate dissertation covering, in part, misinterpretation of CDK features and I cannot find the publication you mention (and very few others relating to this topic). Thank you.

Diane Hunter says:
Why do they insist on saying “Corn” drying kiln??? It wasn’t corn!!!
Hi Diane. Corn tends to be used as catch all phrase when describing a variety of cereals in Ireland and the UK. When we say corn we mean all of the cereal types and not one specific grain species. It comes from the Old English word ‘korn/corn’, which basically means grain. All the best,

Zofran Side Effects
Risperdal and Gynecomastia
Have questions? Not sure if you have a claim? Let us help you.
What is Zofran? What was it used for?
Zofran is a drug that was primarily taken orally to help with the symptoms of nausea and vomiting related to chemotherapy. It also has the name Ondansetron. However it was also prescribed “off-label” for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (morning sickness).
Recently it has come out that Zofran and possibly the generic versions might be connected with birth defects such as Cleft palate and Heart defects in children. Zofran was also the subject of a Potential Signal of serious side effect by the FDA in 2013. That was related to Serotonin syndrome.
What birth defects might be related to Zofran?
Heart Defects
A study that looked at women in Denmark from 1997 to 2010 concluded that there was a 2 fold increase in cardiac malformations. A different study involving the CDC concluded that ther ewas a 2 fold increase in risk for cleft palate as well.
Has the FDA issued any warnings on this drug?
Yes, in 2013 the FDA issued a warning relating to potential side effects of seratonin syndrome.
Has Zofran caused your child’s birth defects?
Background Information on Zofran
Zofran was developed in the 1980s by GlaxoSmithKline. It received Patent protection in 1987 and 1988 and was approved by the FDA in the US in 1992. It was approved to treat nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy and radiation patients as well as post surgical patients.
Are there Generic versions of this drug?
Yes. Two companies make generic versiosn of the drug, Teva Pharmaceuticals and SICOR.
Has Zofran been recalled?
No. Zofran has not been recalled. A product or drug like this can be the subject of lawsuits for injuries and not be recalled. A recall will be something that the government issues. That would be a long time, if at all, in this case.
What does ‘Off-Label” mean?
Sometimes a drug is approved for one use and then is used for another in addition to its approved use. The additional use is called off-label.
When did the lawsuits start?
These lawsuits are just getting started. What will probably happen soon is that these cases (or some of them) will be consolidated in only a few courts around the country. There will probably be a Federal Court MDL and a few state courts who have cases moving forward.
Have any gone to Trial yet?
No. All of this has started recently. It will be a while before these cases get to trial. It could be a couple of years before the first case goes to trial.
Is this a class action?
No. Each person has their own case. The cases may be put together so that the courts can deal with them all efficiently, but it is not a class action.
Is there a Time Limit to file these cases?
Yes, there is a time limit. That limit is different in different states. It could be several years though because these injuries happened to children. Because the cases involve children, the time limits are often longer. The only way to get a solid answer on how much time you have is to talk to a lawyer about your specific case.
Will my Doctor be involved in the case?
As of now these cases are only against the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline.
Have there been any settlements?
Not that we are aware of. Settlements usually only happen after several cases have gone to trial
How much is my case worth?
No one knows yet. It is too early to tell. Case values are really determined by trial verdicts and a lot of other factors.
How strong is the science to prove the case
What kind of injuries did someone have
Whether the company is in a position to settle
How long before the case will settle?
If it settles, it will likely be several years. You have to be patient because these cases can take a very long time.

City may increase funds for affordable housing
By Mike Steely
steelym@knoxfocus.com
Plans for two apartment complexes, one at Pond Gap and the other on Young High Pike, were approved to receive development funding by the Knoxville City Council Tuesday. The proposed apartments at Pond Gap are strongly opposed by residents there, especially along Hollywood Drive, but the approval passed despite pleas from David Williams, president of the neighborhood association there.
The city will award $555,000 in grant money to ECG Pond Gap, LP for the development of 19 affordable housing units in Pond Gap. Williams told the council that the apartment development, eventually to have 102 apartments, “doesn’t fit” the neighborhood.
Williams also asked the city to repair a retaining wall along Hollywood Drive. That damaged wall is being disputed by the local property owner who says the city built and has been maintaining the wall. The city claims the property owner is responsible.
Becky Wade, community development director, told the council that the money will be forgiven after 20 years. Commissioner Andrew Roberto called the funding a “gap-filling measure” to provide low-rent units.
Mayor Madeline Rogero, speaking on the matter, said the city is investing in affordable housing and announced plans to add an additional $1 million to the current $2.5 million earmarked for future city aid to similar projects.
“There is such a demand for affordable housing,” Rogero said.
In a separate vote the council voted to award $1,320,000 from the Affordable Rental Development Fund to ACG’s Young High project for the development of 44 housing units. That South Knoxville project is supported by nearby neighborhood associations.
The council split on a measure to rezone 53 properties in the Fort Sanders neighborhood so the hospital there can expand. Councilman Marshall Stair said he doesn’t “see the rush for this” and said he hopes the hospital takes an interest in stabilizing the neighborhood. Stair was joined in his “No” vote by council members Mark Campen and Lauren Rider.
The council also approved changing the zoning on a Whittle Springs property from Office to Planned Residential to allow 20 units per acre. The property is on the corner of Whittle Springs Road and White Oak Lane. Zoning changes were also approved on Atlantic Avenue and along Cedar Lane.
Code enforcement duties will shift from the Public Service Division to the Plans Review and Building Inspection Department. The council approved the move without further discussion.
The council also voted give about $288,488 for school security training, safety improvements and technology and adding security guards. Knox County will pick up 25% of the cost.
Mayor Rogero also spoke briefly about flooding in the city and the efforts of various city departments to respond to the event. She said that initially 143 city roads were inundated and, as of the meeting, 13 streets remain closed to traffic. She said the city is moving to document the damage and asked anyone with damage to call “311” and all reports will be forwarded to TEMA for possible federal funding assistance.

Now that I'm the proud owner of a Lost Boys DVD, I'm going to do something I've been meaning to do for more than a decade. I'm going to play "Count the Michaels."
My sister and I have always loved this movie. And at some point in the early nineties, between telling me that Skid Row was "pussy metal" and letting me videotape (?) his baseball card collection, her friend Andy (who I recently ran into at Fenway by random chance) pointed out the fact that "they must say the word 'Michael' a thousand times in that movie."
Well, my guess would be more like a hundred. I'm watching it now, kind of to see what I'm up against, without doing the actual count.
At one point, the vampires chant Michael's name. I think I'll count every single one. I think there are four people chanting, so I'd count each Michael as four Michaels for that part.
Note: Corey Haim's character often refers to Michael as "Mike." "Mike"s and "Mikey"s count. Of course. Maybe I could have the DVD sitting in a jar, and people could look at the jar and write down their guess as to how many Michaels are inside.
"My own brother, a goddamn shit-suckin' vampire! You wait til mom finds out, buddy."
Itali-mania
I did a post about tonight's game, but I had to erase it, because it somehow put my entire blog into a state of italics. But you didn't miss much. Just three lines of me being pissed off. Congratulations if you were one of the few who saw the mystery post. It's kind of like when Chan and I saw a taping of Letterman on New Year's Eve, and it never aired.
Tomorrow we'll get those poo-poo heads back.
Soxaholix has come up with a clever parody of the Angels' official team name!
Go there now, there are still plenty of pretty pictures and ads! You can even donate money directly to them! (You know, if you're tired of donating to those pesky hurricane victims.)
Reverse The Psychology
My dad warned me not to make fun of Aaron Small, after he pitched well in his first start. Instead of heeding that warning, I proceeded to compare him to a ridiculous-looking claymation character. He's gone on to do very, very well.
So, tonight, let's beat that high-quality Aaron Small. It will be tough, since he's such an amazingly good pitcher that I wish was on the Red Sox.
Here's something I made with the cheesy paint program that came with my laptop:
"Little Bitch" Sighting
Chan and I just went to Coldstone. Since the yankee game (another loss to Tampa) had ended an hour or so before, I guaranteed a Tino Martinez sighting, since we've seen him there before. I said to Chan, "The team's in town, the game ended fairly early. I'm sure Tino promised the kids a Coldstone trip before the Sox come to town to kick some ass."
We got there, and unlike last time, we were the only ones there. And no employees were singing. As we looked over the ice cream selection, I looked over at the door, and watched Jorge Posada walk in.
He came right over to the spot behind me in line, with a buddy-type person following him. I thought for a minute, and decided I was gonna talk to him.
"Hey, Mr. Posada," I said. I can't believe I called him "mister." I should've gone the "Jorge" route.
"Hey," he mumbled, looking down at the ice cream.
"Last time I was here, I saw Tino Martinez," I told him.
"Oh yeah?" He was feigning interest. His eyes were red. Not just bloodshot, but red all around.
"So I always see a yankee in here."
"Well, it's good stuff," he said to the floor, with the man behind him ready to attack if I laid a finger on him. Although I could have taken him AND Posada with one sock tied behind my back.
"I guess it's the one thing I have in commom with you guys." That's a lie. I think Coldstone is overrated. They know about the DQ Blizzard, right? Terrible job, Coldstone.
Anyway, at that point, Jorge inquired to the employee about the oozing vats of ice cream in front of the four of us.
The employee told us that the freezer broke. The stuff was totally melted. Posada took his buddy and left. Chan had already ordered, and felt he had to buy at that point. I got nothing. Chan threw the stuff away on our walk home, disappointed.
So we go into the yankee series up by four games. And the yanks are a half back of Cleveland for the Wild Card. I hope none of the umps from the yanks' or Sox' last series are not involved this weekend.
Also, tonight I heard something so ridiculous. It was Bellhorn's first start as a yankee at home. Which means what? That's right, he was part of his first bleacher creature roll call. "Ma-ark Bellhorn! clap, clap, clap clap clap." I almost puked.

Fenway Park, September 7, 2005
Another beautiful night at Fenway, in more ways than one. This is one of my favorite shots ever. It was right when Fred Lynn was waving from his seat. I knew I wouldn't really be able to make Fred out, but I'm glad the star and the moon came out so well.
Before I left for the game, my mom said she'd chip in on some hurricane relief if they were doing that "take your picture with players" thing again. So when WCSG and I went inside, we happened to pass autograph alley, and saw Wakefield and Myers up there. Now, those guys are great, and I'd want to be photographed with them regardless, especially for a good cause, but I've always wanted to tell Wakefield about the common friend that he shares with my dad. All right, through that friend's dad. But it's something. So I grabbed my mom's fifty and my fifty and ran to the line. As soon as I filled out the official form, we were brought right up to Wake and Mike. There were folks in front of us on line, but for some reason it seemed like they'd all just been waiting for us to arrive, as we were whisked right up to the front. We immediately were positioned right behind our favorite oddball delivery/style pitchers. Mike Myers is a really friendly guy. He saw what I was wearing and said, "Bad News Bears, cool." Wakefield looked back and chimed in with a Beavis-like "Heh heh, cool." Mike then asked me if I "saw that movie." I told him I hadn't seen the remake. All this happened in a few seconds, as some other person was telling us all to smile. They took two shots, and started motioning for us to get the hell out of there. Just then, someone else started talking to Wakefield, but I culdn't miss my chance. "Timmy," I said as I very slowly started walking away. He looked back, and I told him of my four-to-five degree connection to him. He acknowledged it, and I thanked him and Mike as I was being pulled away.
So, I guess the deal is that they sign it and send it to you later. You know they'll remember me from the Bad News Bears jersey. Maybe just for that they'll each throw some season tickets my way along with their autographs. You know, just something in the grandstand.
Here's Timmy getting the Clemente Award.
Here's the view from seats we totally didn't have.
That's more like it. Bleachers, section 43. Here's David acknowledging me using a serious of off-camera mirrors. Section 43 had a rogue element I didn't like last game (of our 10-game plan.) And this time there were just a bunch of empty seats where the regulars sit. Even "the big man" didn't show. Was nice to have some room around us, though.
I've done the "Bronson ascending to heaven" shot before. But this time, the sun was right above him for an even more heavenly feel.
The greatest non-battting glove-wearing player in the game today, Vlad Guerrero.
Millar rounds the bases on a dong.
The classic Arroyo leg kick.
It wouldn't be a Sox game without Mirabelli and his cart. And it wouldn't be a Sox blog without a Sox fan taking a picture of Doug and his cart and then saying how it wouldn't be a Sox game without Doug and his cart.
The dude that fought with Bonds.
Red Sox win, 6-3.
Re: Guitarroyo
In defense of Bronson:
Guitar playing just happens to be an activity that can be very public. To have people hear your music, it's necessary to play it in front of them, or at the very least, record it and make them aware of it somehow. (Again, by playing it for them.) Not to say that this is the reason we play music. For example, my friend and roommate Chan is a very talented guitarist, but has never played in front of an audience or even recorded a song.
I'm just saying, Bronson gets a bad Saran Wrap for having an "in-the-spotlight" hobby.
Maybe Edgar Renteria is a huge dominoes player. Maybe he doesn't work out some days becuase he HAS to play dominoes. He could be the world champion domino player, but no one would know, because nobody gives a fuck about dominoes. But everybody enjoys music, to some degree.
So, I say, if he's got a hobby, let him do it. Him being comfortable and being allowed to do what he wants will make him a better ballplayer, I think.
Besides, I never hear anyone telling Tim Wakefield to "lay off the charity work, it's really affecting your game."
There Is No Sanctuary
For months now, I planned to do a post on my thritieth birthday called "There Is No Sanctuary," referring to the movie Logan's Run, in which an entire race of people believe that on their thirtieth birthday, they go to "Sanctuary."
And here it is, the day, and I forgot all about it.
Until I went to WCSG, and saw that in her most recent post, she actually mentioned Logan's Run. So thanks to her, I at least have now remembered to do the "Sanctuary" post-title. Also, thanks to her for filling in for Pat at last night's Sox game. (More on that later, as promised.)
I am not the only milestone birthday in the Red Sox blogging world today, as SamCat turns the large two-oh. So, Happy Fantabulous Red Sox Fan Day, or whatever is was that Sam named our birthday along time ago. (For the official logo, go to Reb Sox.
Gotta Love 'Em...
...because they make it so easy.
On my way home from Fenway tonight, after I was out of EEI land, I was listening to WFAN. A yankee fan called in, and spoke in a lazy tone which gave the impression that he'd given up on his team long ago. But almost as if his vocal chords still hadn't grasped that concept, he came out with: "The yanks are gonna be okay."
The host asked him why he thought so, to which he replied, "Well, they got that guy from Japan pitchin' tomorrow, that what's-his-name."
"It's Wang," said the host, "and he's Korean."
Another fan called in, and in a middle-eastern accent, rare in the sports talk world, said "I'm lifelong yankee fan. I hate Red Sox and whenever they win it breaks my heart apart." He went on to give his World Series prediction: Red Sox over Cardinals.
Pics and stories from last night's game to come later today.
Win It For Gilligan
Woohoo! I am on cloud effin' nine right now. Thank you, Papi.
This turned out to be quite an important night.
The Sox and yanks games were parallelling each other all night. Both teams had a lead, but allowed the opponent to tie it up late.
When the Angels had the go-ahead run on third with one out in the ninth against the Sox, the yanks were tied, but with home field advantage, still seemed to have the edge on their toughest opponent, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
But Wake got out of it, and David won it, guaranteeing we'd be at least three up at the end of the day.
The yanks were ready to keep pace, as they had Bernie up with two on and one out in the bottom of the eighth. The yankee Stadium crowd felt a little of that last-century arrogance, but they should have known better. Bernie lined into an inning-ending double play. They still looked good, though, as Mariano came in for the ninth in a tie game, to the strains of the land of Chokia's National Anthem, Enter Sandman. But thanks to Robinson Cano pulling a TPS (Timo Perez syndrome)*, the D-Rays scored the go-ahead run, and held off the yanks in the bottom of the ninth. 4-3 Tampa. D-Rays win season series. With five games left in it. I'm wondering if George actually keels over tonight.
It could easily be a two-game lead right now.
But it's four! And the Tribe won, closing to within one of the yanks.
To have that piece of tall shit Randy lose after he was so pumped to actually pitch well in his last start is so key. They need the Randy games, because they can't be trustin' Chasmall and Con. I mean, Chacon and Small. Especially when they're facing a quality team, like they will be weekend.
Manny predicted Ortiz' game-winning homer. Because with Edgar up, he was in the dugout, on the bench. He did have a bat in his hand, but to me, it just seemed like what he was doing was saying, "This game will be over before I even get up." Which usually means an Ortiz homer flying through the night air.
Speaking of Manny and predictions, earlier in the game, with the count 1-2 on Manny, mom yelled out, "Ooh, let's walk, Manny." I said, "Mom, it's 1-2." Three pitches later, my mom was right. Good call, Mom.
Tomorrow I go to Fenway, which is why I'm at my parents' house, which is way closer to Boston than New York is. Also, they get the games on TV. It was really key to watch tonight's game on an actual TV.
The Sox should have worn the red jerseys tonight, but only in honor of Bob Denver, TV's Gilligan, who died today. RIP Bob.
*TPS (for the last time): n. 1. When some dude plays really well in his first year, giving a manager false hope, and costing his team big time with late- or post- season rookie blunders. See 2000 World Series.
In tonight's example, Cano, who has fooled the yanks into thinking they have a second baseman with some minor examples of good hitting which were put to rest when teams started getting scouting reports on him, misplayed a grounder in the ninth, allowing the Rays to score the winning run. Shoulda brought in Bellhorn! Hahahaha.
[An AP Photo was used in this post very legally.]
That A Detective Story?
The A's and Indians are currently two games behind the yanks in the loss column for the Wild Card lead. With the A's still battling the Angels for the west title, and still having four games left against them, and any Red Sox wins against the Angels helpng the yanks, I'm focusing on the Indians to get that Wild Card.
Wahoo's Tribe has games left against: the Tigers, two series' with KC, and Minny, TB, and Oakland, all at home. They do play two series' with the White Sox. But one is the last series of the season, which may turn out to be meaningless for Chicago.
So it's definitely a possiblilty that they can gain three games on the yanks. But, who knows, a lot of things can happen. I just hope the Indians have their team-owner-woman cardboard cut-out ready.
Walkin' On Sunshine
From the Progress Report:
The message from Bush and [White House communications director Dan] Bartlett is that state officials were "slow to call for outside help." The reality is that Louisiana state officials reached out to the federal government for assistance before the storm hit. On Aug. 27, Gov. Blanco sent a detailed letter to President Bush requesting assistance because "this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments, and that supplementary Federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster."
Lifelong Dream Fulfilled
One of them, anyway.
Got a Bad News Bears jersey. Amanda's number 11. Cha-ching. Milestone birthdays get you the best presents. But I've still got a few more days of hanging on to my twenties. The last of which, Wednesday, will be spent at Fenway watching the first-place, World Champion Boston Red Sox, with my Amanda jersey on. Not a bad way to close out my third decade on earth.
Curt got all of his lingering crappiness out of the way today. He should be all set for the yanks next weekend.

A memorable night at Fenway, despite the chimpy game. Kim and I, both of whom have always loved Nomar, got there just as the A's started BP, and went right down near their dugout. Got lots of pics. Nomar was so nervous he was swinging and missing in batting practice, before finally launching some out of the park, as people cheered him on. Then he started signing, and fans in their Nomar shirts (I wore mine, but I actually wear it a lot) and with their welcoming signs flocked to him. He was off to our right at first, then went out past third base, and finally came back right in front of us. It was fun stuff.
Out in the bleachers, I filmed his intro during the starting lineups, and among the cheers, the old guy behind me let out a half-hearted boo. The guy proceeded to not even cheer for any of the Red Sox. A curmudgeonly type. Needless to say I used all the dirty looks I've saved up that I wanted to give cell phone drivers but couldn't because they don't see them because, of course, they're not paying attention to what's around them. On this guy.
Then it was kind of weird how things set up. The first ended with Nomar on deck, so we knew he'd get his ovation to start the second, which would be cool. But then the scoreboard beat us to it after the top of the first, with a message welcoming him back, and a live shot of him in the dugout. It was a big cheer, but we knew we'd be giving the "real" cheer a few minutes later. And we did, and it was great. And I watched the replay just now here, and not only does the Modern Lovers' "Roadrunner" get in the clip, as it was being played between innings, but right behind Nomar in the second row is a Minor Threat shirt! Sweet! He's behind and to the right of the Jack Daniels shirt guy. Anyway, our one booing friend and his three wives just sat as everyone else around them stood and cheered.
Other stuff from tonight: Several players have changed their at bat music very recently. Jacoby is now "Gangsta's Paradise" (though Kim suggested it could be "Amish Paradise" since you don't hear the lyrics), Youk is Alice in Chains' "Man in the Box," and Nick Green is "Stayin' Alive."
Janet Marie Smith walked by us randomly. I yelled her name and said "nice job."
We had to answer the "why are you guys booing Kevin Youkilis" question from the people next to us and later the people behind us. Overall, between those two groups, the shriveled dick guy who booed Nomar and his harem of witches, and the couple in front of us, we were in a "no reaction section." That's right, these people wouldn't clap for anything. It was like they were watching a movie. We got shut out on a couple of lousy hits, so the fairly uninspired crowd (other than for Nomar) was to be expected, but some people just treat it like a movie. They just sit and stare, emotionless. Until Sweet Caroline. And we were surrounded by the ten people in the park who act like this. So the night got chimpier as it went on, but we got to see our old pal Nomar, and it turned out the Yanks almost won but still lost, so an okay night all things cons'd.
Oh, one more thing. Tonight's trivia question on the scoreboard was, "Carlton Fisk won Game 6 of the 1975 World Series with a 12th inning homer. But who hit the game-tying home run in the 9th inning?"
My answer was, "Bernie Carbo. AND IT WAS THE EIGHTH INNING." Can you believe they'd mess that up? At Fenway Park?
# posted by Jere : 7/06/2009 11:52:00 PM
Wow! Can't believe the Red Sox messed up that trivia question about Bernie Carbo. Bad job.
Glad you were there, Jere. Watched it at home, and was really proud to be a Sox fan with the reception Nomar got when he came up to bat.
Was there ever any doubt?

New work! Architectural Collage Art
House Portraits, New Art
My new series featuring Victorian paintings, English Tudor art and Craftsman style art. Over the years I have created hundreds of portraits of homes and historic buildings, so you can imagine that I have lots of favorites and in many different architectural styles, But three styles really stand out. They are each very distinctive and have stood the test of time. They are the Victorian style, Tudor style and Craftsman style. I decided to select some all time favorites within these styles and share their beauty but in a different way. I mixed these architectural art forms with other very different art forms, namely some of my favorite fabric patterns and items that I have collected over time. Many can be found in my home. Some are from overseas travels,…

Introducing the first of my new architectural art series…
... Architectural Fusion! Since I was a child, I have always been intrigued by the fusion of old and new buildings, how they intermingle into the now, occupying the same space and time. Within their walls, their structures tell the story of the struggles and triumphs of humankind, often spanning hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. I am proud to announce that I have now completed the first three pieces in this series and I am in the process of creating more. The medium is my signature pen and watercolor on a heavy watercolor paper. All depict cities that I love and where I have have spent time. In addition to viewing the final paintings, I thought you might like a glimpse of the creative process that has gone into them.…

New Architectural Paintings – Places I love
New Art, Uncategorized
Two of my Favorite Architectural Icons It is no secret that I love painting architecture. Being that I receive new requests every week to paint homes and historic buildings around the country, I am always so busy focusing on getting these done. I felt it was time to put everything else aside and tackle some much bigger architectural subjects. It was fun doing these canvases in acrylic, which is my medium of choice when creating larger landscape paintings. We see so many renderings of these famous icons, so I tried to create more "moody" and "reflective" renditions. When I saw each of them in person some years ago in France and later in India they left a lasting impression and I vowed that I would capture them on my canvas…

Arts and Crafts Watercolor Paintings
Historic Arts and Crafts Buildings in the USA Three of the "founding fathers" of the Arts and Crafts movement in America, whose impact is still widely felt today are the Greene and Green Brothers in California, Elbert Hubbard and Gustav Stickley. Over the last year or so my husband and I have visited three famous historic locations and here are my first paintings depicting them! Anyone who lives in the Pasadena area will recognize this famous structure, the Gamble House, which was a closely supervised project of the architect brothers, Charles and Henry Greene.

South Pasadena Historic Street Scenes
South Pasadena Historic District - Capturing the Magic in Pen and Watercolor! I love living and having my studio in South Pasadena! It's got that wonderful small town charm while being right in the heart of Greater Los Angeles. South Pasadena was incorporated as it's own city in 1888. With it boutique stores and interesting restaurants and cafes, the historic district of South Pasadena is a big draw for visitors and locals alike. I have tried to capture that special So Pas feel in this series of paintings. (For those interested in history, below the paintings is a write up about this, mainly taken from the South Pasadena City website.)

Landscape Painting of South Pasadena Scene I was recently commissioned to paint this scene from an amazing photo that a client of mine took looking up Fair Oaks Avenue in South Pasadena. You can see the intersection of Rollin Street and Fair Oaks Avenue in the foreground. This photo was taken a couple of years ago after a cold snap which whitened the San Gabriel Mountains that loom up in the distance. The painting was a lot of fun. It is a large one - 30 x 40 inches - that now hangs in a beautiful enclosed patio in South Pasadena. It was a nice change creating a big acrylic painting and I intend to do more. As much as I love doing architectural paintings and capturing homes in pen…

Historic Buildings of South Pasadena, CA
Historic Preservation Lives on Main Street, S0uth Pasadena The thing I love about South Pasadena is that it has always maintained a Small Town Atmosphere. By Southern California standards, South Pasadena’s 2010 estimated population of 24,904 qualifies it as a small town. The city’s boundaries have changed very little since its incorporation and today it encompasses approximately 3.4 square miles. The Mission and Meridian Street crossing -- which can be seen in my painting below, is where the Gold Line metro station pass through. With its historically preserved old buildings it is truly a town where the old fashioned Main street still exists. Please enjoy the first two paintings in my Historic South Pasadena Street Scene series!

Michelle Rogers Pritzl: Those Whose Hands and Hearts are Pure by Aline SmithsonJuly 16, 2014
©Michelle Rogers Pritzl, A Covenant with the Eyes
The work of Michelle Rogers Pritzl is being well celebrated these days. Fresh off the boat with a recent MFA in Photography from Lesley University College of Art, she has a dance card filled with exhibitions. Her work is currently on exhibition at Portrait/Process in St. Louis at the International Photography Hall of Fame Museum, the 20th juried show at the Griffin Museum, and the Center Forward AND the Alternative Processes exhibitions at the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado. I had the great pleasure of meeting Michelle at the Griffin opening and appreciated knowing the artist behind her visceral and challenging portrait photographs. Today I am featuring a new body of work, Those Whose Hands and Hearts are Pure, the result of her exposure to the Evangelical Christian purity culture.
Michelle was born and raised in Washington DC, where she began studying photography in high school. Pritzl received a BFA from the Corcoran College of Art and Design in 2001, a MA from California State University in 2010, and a MFA in Photography from Lesley University College of Art, where she studied with Christopher James, in 2014. Michelle works in alternative and historic photographic processes, and has been widely exhibited across the United States. Michelle was a Critical Mass Top 250 finalist in 2013; she has been featured in Diffusion Magazine, Lumen Magazine and her work as been recognized by the International Photography Awards and the Prix de la Photographie Paris.

Those Whose Hands and Hearts are Pure
Those Whose Hands and Hearts are Pure is a metaphor for the psychological damage inflicted on young women through Evangelical Christian purity culture. Through Victorian notions of patriarchy, young women are taught to submit, to be ashamed of themselves, their bodies, their dreams and ultimately to exist for the sake of the husband they will serve. In these self-portraits I play a character that performs or endures tasks which represent the inner workings of the psychological damage inflicted by these beliefs. This series tells the story of withstanding oppression and breaking free, although a theme of domination over the female character is woven into the images. This subtle reference symbolizes not only the way that bullied children hear taunts forever, but also subverts the intent of the Fundamentalist mindset and the control they seek over women. Each image is a 16×20” tintype, printed with a transparency in the darkroom, in a unique edition of 5. My digital workflow combined with the antique media of collodion references the antiquated view of women through the photographic process itself.

Niall Ferguson on Kissinger's 'World Order' [Part Two]
by Thomas Riggins
Sun 11th Jan 2015
"Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet, seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." (Alexander Pope, Essay on Man)
Ferguson tells us that Kissinger (whose ideas he seems to embrace) does not pay much attention to Obama’s “strategic incoherence” in his book. Ferguson, however, can read between the lines and detects that Kissinger was inspired by his “dismay” over “the amateurism of the past six years” of Obama foreign policy. Here is a quote from the great man himself: Kissinger asks:
”Where, in a world of ubiquitous social networks, does the individual find the space to develop the fortitude to make decisions that, by definition, cannot be based on a consensus.” Maybe it is foolishness, not fortitude, to try and make decisions based simply on what the “individual” thinks or feels. What decisions, other than what you personally want to eat for dinner, want to do in you spare time, or what movie you want to watch, and the like are “by definition” impossible to decide by consensus?
Kissinger goes on to say that candidates running for office may be forced to spend more time raising money then dealing with the big issues. Does a candidate try to explain his ideas to the people or does he tailor what he thinks to please the voters? Ferguson implies that is what Obama types do because Kissinger's concerns would not have been aroused by the campaigns of such stalwart individuals as John McCain or Mitt Romney who took “scant regards” to focus groups in coming up with their absurd “foreign policy positions.”
Perhaps if they had they would have found out what people were really concerned about and would have abandoned some of their more loony ideas and made a better showings at the polls.
Ferguson reveals his own ineptitude when he says Obama made fun of Romney in a debate on foreign policy by saying “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back” and thinks that those policies would offer better ways “of dealing with Vladimir Putin.” Well, Putin is no Gorbachev and if Ferguson thinks using thirty year cold war techniques with Russia in the 21st Century is the way to go then he, not Obama, is the one who is “no master strategist.”
The “starting point” of Kissinger’s book, Ferguson writes, is that we are at the end of an "American world order” that was at its high point in the 1980s. The real title, then, of Kissinger’s book should have been, I think, The Loss of American World Domination. Here is how Kissinger himself describes this 1980s word order: it was a time of “an inexorably expanding cooperative order of states observing common rules and norms, embracing liberal economic systems, forswearing territorial conquest, respecting national sovereignty, and adopting participatory and democratic systems of governance.”
A quite imaginary fantasy on Kissinger’s part. Where was the respect for the sovereignty of Nicaragua, of Cuba, of Iran, of Grenada, of Cambodia, of the DPKR, of Vietnam, of Libya. What democratic systems were supported in Central America where the US supported genocide (Guatemala) and fascist regimes in other countries, not to mention in Indonesia and Chile. The “cooperative order” only included states kowtowing to US interests. Kissinger himself helped, in 1970s, overthrow the democratically elected government in Chile and helped institute a fascist regime.
It seems that the American people no longer believe in this “definition” of world order. What Kissinger and Fergunson should have pointed out is that educated American people don’t believe that this fantastic description ever applied to “an American world order.”
We are told there are now three other contending kinds of “world order” on the agenda. They are:
1) A “post-Westphalian European order” [i.e., post the 1648 Peace of Westphalia ending the Thirty Years War and other hostilities], one in Kissinger’s words which is “a system of independent states refraining from interference in each other’s domestic affairs [the US will never stop doing this] and checking each other’s ambitions through a general equilibrium of power.” But the US is a super power, how could such an equilibrium be imposed?
2) An “Islamic world order” based on the ideas of Sultan Mehmed II (who conquered Constantinople in 1453 thus ending the (Eastern) Roman Empire) and who proclaimed “one empire, one faith, and one sovereignty in the world”
3) a “Chinese order” based on the imperial (actually Confucian) idea of “harmony under heaven” (tian-xia, maybe not such a bad idea, nothing wrong with harmony).
Let’s look more closely at these four kinds of “ideal” world order— American, European, Islamic, and Chinese. We will look at them through the eyes of Kissinger as reported by Ferguson. Let us dismiss the “American” order as we have already pointed out that it was a Kissinger fantasy. It boiled down to the attempted implementation of a US diktat in international affairs dressed up in democratic phraseology by Kissinger and his likes. It is still the US’s favourite modus operandi but as American power weakens it is becoming harder and harder to enforce.
The other three systems are also flawed. Kissinger thinks the “European” system is departing from its “Westphalian” ideals by trying to form the EU which combines “pooled sovereignty” with attempts to “limit the element of power” in the new institutions it is creating. The problem is that none of the countries in the EU want to end up bossed around by Germany which is where “pooled sovereignty” is taking them.
The problem of the “Islamist world order” [other than the fact that it doesn’t exist] is, according to Kissinger, that it is “based on the fundamentalist version of their religion” and quests for “a global revolution.” This is to take the Islamic State, ISIS, ISIL, or whatever you want to call it, and the jihadists as far more historically significant than they are.
They are local disturbances, generated in reaction to the failures of the American diktat in their part of the world, and will vanish as soon as the Americans realise it is their own policies, based on ignorance of the culture, religion, and history of the area and motivated more by economic motives than anything else, which cause these groups to form and then take steps to disengage from meddling in the area. The UN will have to help the US get out gracefully as the US has shown it is incapable of conducting itself rationally when it comes to dealing with the people in this part of the world.
As for the “Chinese order” (another culture area of which Americans seem ignorant), Kissinger says earlier ideas about the “Middle Kingdom and its tributaries” have been “jettisoned.” It seems the Chinese (and others) are acting as “hyper-Westphalians” and see the area in terms “of aggressively competing nation states.” Kissinger finds this (his own imaginary construct) as “inapplicable” for this region.
There is a slight interruption in Ferguson’s review at this point so that he can fawn all over Kissinger the statesman, the academic, the historical thinker (he leaves out the war criminal, the supporter of fascists, the accomplice in murder, torture and genocide). We will return to Ferguson’s analysis in our next instalment (Part 3 of the review of World Order).

Stefan Dzeimianowicz reviews Stephen Jones’ Best New Horror 25
September 25, 2014 May 11, 2018 admin 0 Comments Stefan Dziemianowicz
Stephen Jones’s Mammoth Book of Best New Horror series celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, a landmark by any standard in genre publishing. There’s no overlap between the contents of Jones’s and Datlow’s anthologies, as has frequently been the case over the years, and the Best New Horror series has served the important function of reminding readers both that there are more outstanding horror stories written each year than can be gathered into a single anthology, and that different editors with different tastes are likely to bring more such stories to light for readers.
In the opening paragraphs of her Summation for The Best Horror of the Year: Volume Six, Datlow laments the space considerations that kept her from including several outstanding novellas, a form that horror fiction has long thrived in. Rather audaciously, Jones concludes the 21 selections for The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror: Volume 25 with Stephen Volk’s ‘‘Whitstable’’, which at about 40,000 words qualifies as a short novel. A tribute to iconic horror actor Peter Cushing, it tells of the relationship that develops between the actor and a young boy who has sought him out, believing him to be Doctor Van Helsing, the vampire hunter whom Cushing played in several Hammer horror films. (A recurring joke in the story is that people confuse Cushing with his roles, Christopher Lee, and his own grandfather.) For half of his story, Volk tantalizes the reader with the possibility that the boy’s tormentor is an actual vampire, rather than a predator of another sort. Although the tale’s ending is a bit contrived, Volk expertly captures in dialogue the precise, erudite manner of speaking that distinguished Cushing’s screen personae.
Breaking precedent with his previous annuals, Jones includes among his 21 story selections two stand-alone excerpts from Anno Dracula 1976–1991: Johnny Alucard, the fourth novel in Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula series. ‘‘Who Dares Wins: Anno Dracula 1980’’ evokes the global politics of its era in its account of a publicity seeking renegade vampire who takes over the Romanian embassy in London, demanding the establishment of a vampire homeland in Transylvania. In ‘‘Miss Baltimore Crabs: Anno Dracula 1990’’, the action shifts to the United States, and the discovery of a vampire drug cartel operating in a Baltimore straight out of the cable series The Wire. Both stories are vintage Newman, laced liberally with pop culture references and mixing fictional characters with people and events from real life. They’re a reminder that Newman was doing these sort of mashups, and doing them well, more than a decade before this approach became all the rage in genre fiction.
Two of Jones’s selections feature children’s books that prove sources of horror when elements seep from their pages into real life. The zinger final line of Joel Lane’s ‘‘By Night He Could Not See’’ reveals how aspects of Edward Lear’s nonsense verse have become clues in a series of inexplicable murders. In Reggie Oliver’s ‘‘Come into My Parlour’’, a young boy is terrorized by a book of instructional verse whose sinister-looking illustrations come to life. The juxtaposition of childhood innocence with the horrific has long been fertile ground for horror fiction, and several stories in Jones’s anthology grow out of it, notably Ramsey Campbell’s ‘‘Holes for Faces’’, in which a young boy traumatized by a vacation trip to the catacombs in Naples begins seeing leering mummy faces in the texture of surfaces of the world aboveground, and Neil Gaiman’s ‘‘Click-clack the Rattlebag’’, the narrator of which discovers why his young companion is so familiar with the titular monster.
Some of the book’s most creative stories dress up familiar horror themes in imaginative new finery. Both Nicholas Royle’s ‘‘Dead End’’ and Clive Barker’s ‘‘A Night’s Work’’ are nightmare stories, with Royle’s more a waking dream whose horrors are slowly making themselves known to the dreamers, and Barker’s a Twilight-Zone-style tale of dreams within dreams. Simon Kurt Unsworth, in ‘‘Into the Water’’, updates the tale of Lovecraftian horror with the rhetoric of global warming and catastrophic climate shifts. Lynda E. Rucker’s ‘‘The Burned House’’ is a haunted house tale in which the past and present of personal experienced are collapsed. Michael Marshall Smith’s ‘‘The Gist’’ can be read as a variant on the theme of the book of occult lore, just as Tanith Lee’s ‘‘Doll Re Mi’’, which echoes Robert Bloch’s classic short story ‘‘Fiddler’s Fee’’, is a wonderfully baroque variant on the tale of the egotistical artist getting his supernatural comeuppance.
This year, Jones’s introductory summation ‘‘Horror in 2013’’ runs 90 pages long. ‘‘Necrology: 2013’’, a list of obituaries for those in the genre that Jones compiled with Kim Newman, runs (disconcertingly) almost as long, at 73 pages. It has been said before, but it is worth repeating, that these book-long non-fiction surveys within the book of fiction provide the most comprehensive coverage in print of the year in horror, in all its literary and extra-literary forms. It’s a reminder of all the work that a diligent editor like Jones has to sift through in order to make his annual selections, and of the considerable industry in the field that yields those stories.

Baltimore Evening Sun (26 January 1914): 6.
THE FREE LANCE
The Hon. H. Cornell Wilson, the Christian Science press agent in New York city, in the New York Tribune:
It is but fair to Christian Scientits to state that they make it a practice to be scrupulous in the observance of health laws, and all regulations pertaining to the segregation of contagious diseases.
On what grounds? Can it be that a Christian Scientist accused of having smallpox, but not actually having it--for no Christian Scientist can have it--can it be that this Christian Scientist is yet able to transmit it to his neighbors? If not, why should he bother about “regulations pertaining to the segregation of contagious diseases”? Let us hear from the Hon. Sweet Williams on this point. And let him tell us, further, whether Christian Scientists carry their “scrupulous” reverence for health laws so far that they submit willingly to vaccination.
A DAILY THOUGHT. Don’t take advantage of a man’s being poor to make him a pauper.--The Hon. Basil Magoon.
What humor could be wilder than that of life itself? Imagine John Millington Synge, in a celluloid collar, writing “Riders to the Sea!” Imagine Schubert, on his deathbed, reading the works of J. Fenimore Cooper!
Colleague Bonaparte on the Hon. Abraham Flexner’s recent report on “Prostitution in Europe”:
Dr. Flexner’s testimony, although very valuable and very welcome, is, after all, cumulative testimony only. * * * For fair-minded and well-informed persons it is now sufficiently clear that, as the way to swim is to swim, the way to suppress vice is to suppress it * * *
Courage, Molière, c’est de bonne comédie! Is it true, as the Hon. Nr. Bonaparte hints, that Dr. Flexner is opposed to regulation? It is. But is it true, as he also hints, that Dr. Flexner is in favor of suppression? It is not. Whole pages of the laborious doctor’s book, in truth, are devoted to proving that snouting, raiding and all the rest of the mountebankery approved by the Hon. Mr. Bonaparte are vicious, disingenuous and useless. He is unutterably opposed, for instance, to a “morals police,” whether male or female. He believes that it is ineffective, that it is tyrannical and that it is almost certain to become corrupt. And in this belief be is admirably supported, though he doesn’t mention it, by the history of the Pentz Society of Baltimore, of which the Hon. Mr. Bonaparte has the honor to be vice-president.
In brief, Dr. Flexner’s report offers very poor consolation to the Hon. Mr. Bonaparte, despite the confident whistling of that ingenious gentleman. The remedy he proposes is one which no Bonaparte or Levering will ever swallow without the use of mechanical appliances. It consists, in its essence, of a frank recognition of the fact that sexual immorality is a vice and not a crime, and that the law therefore has nothing to do with it. He proposes on the one hand that all commercialized incitements to its practice be put down, and on the other hand that the police attempt no interference with the thing in itself. Thus his opposition to open brothels is not a whit more violent then his opposition to the pursuit and persecution of prostitutes. What he actually favors, at bottom, is a sort of compromise between the two systems now known to civilization. He holds, as all other sane men hold, that the police cannot prevent immorality, no matter how hard they try, and that the more they are forced into attempting this impossibility the more likely they will be to fall into concealments, charlatanry and downright corruption.. This is precisely the argument against the whole machinery of snouting and suppression proposed and defended by the Hon. Mr. Bonaparte.
On the Continent of Europe, of course, such organizations as the Pentz Society are strictly supervised by the police, and so their successful operation as private sporting clubs is unimaginable. They are permitted to present their views to the proper authorities, and even to gather evidence, but they never attain to the power revealed by the Pentz Society’s alliance with the local police board and by its astounding plots against police captains unfriendly to it. But in place of such sinister leagues of specialists in snouting, there are, in most of the Continental countries, separate establishments of so-called “morals” police. These “morals” police, as might be expected, are always under suspicion, and often with good cause. Says Dr. Flexner:
The women and the bordell-owners, where bordells exist, prosecute their business on the sufferance of this body. I have pointed out how this situation may lean to corruption of the rank and file. It is openly and responsibly charged that it has led even the higher authorities in some places--notably Paris--to employ their irresponsible power for political and other purposes. It is alleged that prostitutes and bordell-keepers have been utilized for blackmail and espionage. * * * Only a few months ago the city of Maintz was profoundly agitated by the charge that the matron attached to the morals bureau had been utilized illegally by her superiors in this direction.
In view of all this, Dr. Flexner is opposed to the creation of any such police force, whether male or female--the dearest dream of all the American vice crusaders, and especially of the suffragettes. He believes that the police should stop short at the commercial exploitation of vice and violations of public decency. These things they can handle. They can close up all the undisguised brothels, they can break up trading in women, they can jail cadets as vagrants and they can prevent open solicitation on the strects. But further than that they cannot go without involving themselves in hopeless difficulties and temptations. As Dr. Flexner says:
In so far as prostitution is the outcome of ignorance, laws and police are powerless; only knowledge will aid. In so far as prostitution is the outcome of mental or moral defect, laws and police are powerless; only the intelligent guardianship of the State will avail. In so far as prostitution is the outcome of natural impulses denied a legitimate expression, only a rationalized social life will really forestall it. In so far as prostitution is due to alcohol, to illegitimacy, to broken homes, to bad homes, to low wages, to wretched industrial conditions--to any or all of the particular phenomena respecting whIih the modern conscience is becoming sensitive--only a transformation wrought by education, religion, science, sanitation, enlightenment and far-reaching statesmanship can effect a cure.
No; the report of Dr. Flexner gives but cold comfort to the Bonapartes, the Kenneth G. Murrays and the rest of the Boy Snouts. It strikes at their plan of action where it is tenderest--and that is where it is a mere excuse for prowling, for denouncing and for stirring up & stimulating pother.
Boil your drinking water! Vote for the mothers’ pension bill! Dear old Beethoven!–Adv.

What about the liberals who want to bomb Agrabah?
Lawrence Richards
At first it was pretty funny: 30% of Republican voters would bomb the make-belief kingdom in Aladdin. Cosmopolitan Europeans and smug New York liberals guffawed over the headlines – the GOP base is so ignorant and warlike that they want to blow up a place that doesn’t exist because it sounds Arabic.
The predictable thinkpieces were rolled out within hours of this poll hitting the headlines so that the poll could be linked to the Republican primary debates. Trevor Timm wrote in the Guardian that “it’s not exactly surprising given the cartoonish levels of tough-guy militarism that spews from the mouth of every Republican candidate as they try to one-up each other on who would start more wars harder and quicker.”
This is intrinsically true: the macho way the GOP candidates fell over one another to declare how they would commit more spectacular war crimes than their competitors was certainly grotesque. Trump was weeks ahead of his peers in saying that suspected ISIS fighters’ wives and children should be murdered, while Ted Cruz’s breathlessly idiotic concept of ‘targeted carpet bombing‘ was particularly surreal.
But Timm’s choice to emphasize how these 30% of Republican voters are whipped up by the GOP leadership is misleading. Firstly, it’s doubtful that many of these voters came to their conclusions about what to do to Muslim-sounding cities and people simply because the Republican Party told them to. Secondly, it helpfully omits that the poll also showed how 19% of Democrat voters would do the same thing – something that cannot be so easily explained.
This indulging in partisan smugness might want to dismiss the anti-Agrabah Democrats as being just the handful who are influenced by the GOP leadership, but that lets a whole raft of people off the hook. Whether or not someone is a swing voter, they don’t just receive opinions from party leaders. Where, if not from top Republicans, did this 19% get the idea that an Arab-sounding country needs to be bombed?
By his logic it surely couldn’t be CNN, of whose viewers 63% identify as Democrat. Since 9/11 CNN has done almost as much as Fox News to connect Islam with terrorism – not radical Islam or Islamism, just Islam in general. CNN repeatedly connects ordinary Muslims with ISIS and Al Qaeda, an implicitly anti-Arab narrative that draws endless connections in an Orwellian manner that went beyond parody when a London-based correspondent attending London’s gay pride rally earlier this year mistook a banner depicting a range of butt-plugs as an ISIS flag.
Their constant refrain to this unpleasant habit, that leads to ordinary liberals and centrists suspecting that people of Arabic descent are plotting against ‘the West’ (and making the coded suggestion that people of color are inherently more suspicious than white Americans), was once again wheeled out after the Paris attacks. Green Greenwald brutally took them to task for this:
“The lesson that the American media has supposedly learned after the 9/11 attack was that allowing political and military intelligence officials to make all kinds of claims without scrutinizing and questioning and pushing them back is a really destructive thing to do. It propagandizes the population. It leads to things like torture, Guantanamo, the attack on Iraq based on false pretenses.”
“I think the worst example, probably the most despicable interview we’ve seen in the last several years were two CNN anchors, John Vause and Isha Sesay who told a French Muslim political activist that he and all other Muslims bear, quote, ‘responsibility’ for the attack in Paris because all Muslims must somehow be responsible.”
Having news reporters and anchors who have views is not a problem in itself, but CNN’s own attitude towards in-house journalists who question their endlessly Muslim-hating narrative is one of tight control. This was demonstrated perfectly when CNN reporter Elise Labott tweeted her disgust at Congress’s hostile and cruel attitude towards Syrian refugees – for, it must be noted, explicitly anti-Muslim reasons – and was subsequently taken off the news team for having an opinion that didn’t toe the editorial line.
By Timm’s reasoning, that it’s all the fault of the GOP leaders that people want to bomb Agrabah, our 19% of Democrats who want to napalm Aladdin into oblivion must also not have been influenced by popular liberal figures like Bill Maher. As a ‘New Atheist’ poster boy, Maher, along with known Islamophobic friends like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, has used increasingly anti-Muslim rhetoric and stating that it is because he is a liberal.
In one now-typical outburst he said of ordinary/all Muslims that “they’re violent. Because they threaten us. And they are threatening. They bring that desert stuff to our world. We don’t threaten each other, we sue each other. That’s the sign of civilized people. And they don’t.”
This isn’t a local right wing talk radio host in South Carolina talking to farm workers, this is a Carter-style social democrat, on HBO, talking to white collar snobs.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration’s recent efforts to try and pretend that it doesn’t profile and murder Muslims worldwide in uncritically continuing Bush’s global War on Terror, have been decidedly cack-handed. The State Department recently tried to ‘win hearts and minds‘ by connecting with ‘Muslim thought leaders’, and chose as its ambassador Ayaan Hirsi Ali, disgraced anti-Muslim activist who faked her own forced marriage in order to win political office in the Netherlands and then moved to America to work with hardline conservative think tanks whose donors sponsor the War on Terror.
Aside from lying about her background to smear Islam, Ali is disliked by many Muslims worldwide for saying that West needs to “defeat” Islam militarily – and when pressed on whether that meant only radical Islam clarified that she meant “Islam, period”. That the State Department under the Obama administration is happy to tweet Ali’s blatant falsehoods and thus direct attention to the toxic worldview of the disgraced neocon speaks volumes about how earnest the Democrats are about protecting ordinary Muslims from extremism and bigotry: that is to say, not at all.
Of course, the Republican voters who want to bomb Agrabah are being whipped up by their candidates in a way that Democrat voters are not. And they receive much of their diet of racism from conservative outlets like Fox and Breitbart. However, the fact that their narratives are being peddled with almost as much fervor by liberal outlets like CNN and MSNBC firstly means that the smug separation between Republican and Democrat is unwarranted. And secondly means that blaming GOP voter opinions solely on the words of their party leadership when Democrats are clearly being poisoned by liberal voices outside of the party shows a total disregard for how fear and bigotry are introduced to the public in the first place.
In fact, in assuming that this is how the minds of frightened working class voters work, Timm demonstrates the extent to which liberals are willing to smear and misunderstand millions of poor people in order to consider their ‘side’ to be innocent. Which is pretty much exactly what they accuse nationalistic Republicans of doing.
It was not the Democrat party who spent the decades since Nixon defunding education budgets, and this has had an enormously damaging impact on the critical reasoning skills of American high school graduates. When you combine the GOP’s relentless war on education with a right wing media mindset that constantly blasts out news stories about how Muslims are all plotting violence and destruction, you get a population that is genuinely frightened that it is under constant threat of attack by a particular ethnic group.
But while liberals are not responsible for that destructive set of education policies, the eagerness to laugh at working class voters for being stupid or bigoted lays the blame squarely on the electorate, rather than the party responsible for decades of trashing public schools. This is, in effect, saying that the dominance of News Corporation and the GOP’s war on education are not worth fighting and decides instead to blame the working class for the poor conditions that have been imposed on them from above.
Liberal laughter at terrified working class conservatives is no smarter or nobler than victim blaming and political laziness.
When Bill Maher got himself into a recent storm over his fiery anti-Muslim rhetoric, he defended himself by saying “we’re liberals, we’re not crazy tea baggers”. Yet when almost a fifth of Democrats want to bomb the fictional kingdom of Aladdin because its name sounds sort of Muslim, scrutiny is best placed over the public figures who make the most effort to force the connection between Islam and terror.

Ministry of Labour and Small Enterprise Development march against child labour in Trinidad and Tobago
Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago - Monday 17 June 2019
“Our children deserve a future that recognizes education as a right” – Senator the Honourable Jennifer Baptiste Primus
This year, to mark the annual occasion of World Day Against Child Labour under the theme “Children Should Not Work In Fields But On Their Dreams”, celebrated on June 12 around the globe, staff from the Ministry of Labour and Small Enterprise Development’s and members of the National Steering Committee for the Prevention and Elimination of Child Labour and other stakeholders, took to the streets of Port of Spain to march against child labour in Trinidad and Tobago.
Clad in white, representative of the purity and innocence of children, eager marchers held key messages on child labour in the form of signs and blended their voices in one chorus while marching from the International Waterfront Centre (IWC) to Independence Square/Brian Lara Promenard and back chanting: "Child Labour: Spot it, Stop it, Report it!"
Senator the Honourable Jennifer Baptiste Primus, who during the time of the March, was engaged in a Cabinet Sitting, still added to this chorus via her video message and was also fashionably decked in white. Minister Baptiste Primus urged parents not to prevent their children from obtaining an education to work because of poverty and also encouraged Trinidad and Tobago, through this campaign, "to be our brothers’ keepers and remove child labour because our children deserve a future that recognizes education as a right.”
Following this march, members from the Ministry’s Labour Inspectorate Unit, whose remit is to investigate reports of Child Labour and take the necessary action, staged a four scene play which depicted child labour on a farm after which time participants were engaged in an interactive trivia to ensure that they fully understood the full gamut of child labour.
We invite you to take a look at the video feature as provided here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe9WjO3AQCc
Currently the legal age of employment of young persons is 16 years old, which means that no child below this age should be employed. The Ministry will continue its sensitization to raise awareness on child labour with the aim of preventing and eliminating it, with its upcoming Child Labour Community Caravans across communities and across Primary and Secondary Schools within Trinidad and Tobago.
See below photos of the Ministry’s "Spot Child Labour, Stop Child Labour" march:

Garmin Forerunner 235 Home Screen
Where the Galaxy Watch falls short remains in its third-party app support as well as dependence on Samsung software and also services. There just aren't very lots of third-party apps available for it, and also the third-party watchfaces, though plentiful, aren't great. If you make use of the Galaxy Enjoy with a phone that's not made by Samsung, you'll additionally need to mount various applications on your phone to allow all of its attributes, which is annoying.But aside from Garmin Forerunner 235 Home Screen .
http://musee-bourgdoisans.com/garmin/garmin-forerunner-235-hrv-stress
http://musee-bourgdoisans.com/garmin/garmin-forerunner-235-hidden-features
those problems, the Galaxy Watch is around comparable to it obtains for Android users.For years Samsung's Equipment collection of smartwatches have actually been dominating the marketplace for all the right reasons. When you take brilliant marketing and incredible items in order to integrate them together, this is what takes place. The Gear S3 is certainly among my favorite smartwatches.Right out of package, you can tell that the S3 is a leading smartwatch;
released previously this year, the S3 concentrates on every little thing that was right in the previous versions, and adds a lot more functions than before. Certain, I know it costs fairly greater than several of the various other alternatives on the listing, yet it is okay.Starting off, the construct quality is incredibly pleasing, with exceptional quality materials made use of throughout the building and construction. The watch certainly seems like a style declaration as high as it seems like a costs smartwatch.Unlike some of the other smartwatches in the market, the Equipment S3 does not operate on Android Wear, instead, it operates on Samsung's own OS called Tizen. Before my testimonial, I had my doubts regarding this OS as it is still something new, and unknown to me.Luckily, upon making use of the look for a week, I can state that the OS is promising, nonetheless, the severe lack of apps might keep some customers away. Samsung lately pressed Garmin Forerunner 235 Home Screen
an upgraded to this watch, enabling you to conserve offline Spotify playlists onto the 4GB of storage.This function makes my life simple because I no more need to count on my information connection to pay attention to the songs whenever I am outside. The Equipment S3 has an animated always-on display screen, as well as unlike several of the various other watches I make use of on a typical basis, this is one lovely screen, politeness of Samsung.Another great point that I such as regarding the Equipment S3 is the truth that it comes packed with activity trackers of all sorts, and while numerous individuals could feel hesitant concerning it, especially when you believe about the amount of permissions it needs. It really is not that big of a problem to be honest.The Gear S3 likewise uses a wonderful, user-friendly interface that is among the most effective I have seen in any kind of smartwatch.
All of these great features incorporate and make this a leading smartwatch. Nonetheless, I do have some issues that are essential to be listing out.For beginners, the watch looks huge on your wrist; currently that is something that completely depends on how your wrists are. This is a subjective concern by all means, but I still think it is very important to point it out. One more thing that was a disappointment was the sheer absence of correct apps. Garmin Forerunner 235 Home Screen
That is primarily as a result of the fact that Tizen is still a smartwatch OS that is creating, as well as ending up being better. I can inform you that the Samsung Equipment S3 is most definitely one of the finest smartwatches 2017 if you are all right with these small hassles. Developer smartwatches are catching on, yet the bulk of choices out there most likely come from Fossil Group's rankings-- as well as
one of the finest among them is the exceptional Skagen Falster 2. It's a unisex watch that is available in a unisex dimension, although it's undoubtedly among the a lot more manly finishes in the Fossil Team line-up. Light and slim, the Skagen challenges those that grumble that smartwatches are also beefy, loading a complete 1.19-inch OLED touchscreen. In terms of size, the case has been diminished to 40mm, which as small as any type of smartwatch available-- as well as it's exceptionally light too. At 0.8 mm thick it's no Daniel Wellington, however it's as comfy as any type of full-screen Use OS look out there.
It takes a typical 20mm strap, so you can pretty much pick anything from the analogue watch globe to pimp out your smartwatch.There are disadvantages for a technology point of view. It utilized older Qualcomm innovation so battery life is mired around a solitary day's usage and we did see some efficiency problems. However if you're looking for style initially and also technology second-- as well as there is definitely nothing incorrect with that said-- the Skagen Falster 2 is well worth your time.
Fossil Group may be holding the umbrella over a bunch of fashion homes creating smartwatches, yet that does not indicate it's not competing in the field itself. As well as with its fourth-generation smartwatches, it's produced possibly one of the most attractive smartwatch on the marketplace, from a style perspective.Sharing some similarities with the older Michael Kors Accessibility Sofie (our previous best fashion watch pick ), the Fossil Q Venture Human Resources wishes to stand apart, and also followers of a more dressy watch will possibly locate it a much better fit than those who such as to maintain their wrist wear understated.Fossil is still keeping display resolution as well as various other specs under wraps, yet we do know this generation(which includes the men's Fossil Q Explorist Human Resources)is the most feature-packed we have actually seen from the company.
Structure on the style renovations of the third-gen gadgets, which saw the flat tyre removed and also a slimmer form aspect, the Q Endeavor Human Resources currently also harbours some major technology under the bezel.There's currently a heart price monitor, as the name suggests, for tracking beats throughout the day and during workout, a GPS monitor to stay up to date with your exercises, and an NFC chip to make it possible for Google Pay. Contribute to that the capability to take this underwater up
to 50 metres, all on the top of the refreshed Put on OS, and everything complete as an extremely complete smartwatch experience.One of our top smartwatch picks for women alongside the Fossil Q Venture is Michael Kors'Gain Access To Runway. The iPhone and also Android-friendly operate on Google's Put on OS as well as improves the previous generation Michael Kors smartwatches, going large on looks once again.Its 41mm situation homes a beautiful 1.19-inch 390 x 390 AMOLED touchscreen screen.
There's your option of stainless-steel and also natural leather bands, and it's likewise offered in a somewhat a lot more costly Ceramic model.On the attributes front, the Path brings built-in GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, a heart rate screen, a swimproof design and Google Pay to allow contactless settlements.
It's perhaps not best fit to opt for a run with, but if you appreciate tapping into Google's physical fitness tracking attributes, it even more than does the job.Google's Wear OS certainly runs the software program show so you're likewise obtaining alert assistance, Google Assistant, the ability to move songs to your watch and also customisable watch faces.
There's personalized Michael Kors enjoy faces there too to far better compliment that fashionable watch body.Battery life is the Use OS smartwatch norm, so you can expect to get you through a day and also maybe a little added. Bottom line, you'll need to charge it every day.If you're not planning to obtain perspiring with it and you're looking for a
seriously attractive smartwatch, the Path absolutely fits the bill.Luxury smartwatches are a thing and also a few of them are really excellent. It started with Tag Heuer's smartwatches after that the similarity Louis Vuitton joined the connected party also. Now Montblanc desires in.Features such as heart price monitors, and wide variety of
various other sensors have actually made their way into the smartwatches, enabling them to genuinely transform the wearable experience right into something much better, and also versatile at the exact same time.Since the marketplace at this moment is loaded with smartwatches of all sorts, we took it on ourselves to take a look at the finest smartwatches you can purchase, but initially, we are going to be checking out several of the essential info concerning the smartwatches.Its very first smartwatch was underwhelming yet, in its 2nd coming, the Summit 2 is a watch that delivers on layout and also on features.
Montblanc has designed its second generation watch on its 1858 collection offering streamlined original watch encounters, a high quality building and also a leading notch 1.2-inch, 390 x 390 resolution touchscreen display.Google's Put on OS runs the program, however Montblanc takes care of to leave its mark with additional applications and also those watch encounters we stated to aid points really feel more special.
It's now packed with even more equipment functions consisting of integrated GPS, a heart price screen as well as a completely waterproof style to add any kind of added layer of durability.This is additionally among the initial Wear OS smartwatches to run on Qualcomm's brand-new smartwatch technology that uses performance enhancements throughout
the board including battery life. You're not going to get a week from it, however it needs to make it via the day and maybe a little extra.The brand-new fitness functions could not be best, yet it behaves for the informal fitness center goer
. When you're not sweating it out, it'll sit there looking beautiful.The bulk of smartwatches in our checklist have actually been full-screen gadgets, yet
the Withings Steel HR comes close to points a little in a different way-- yet is still a powerful connected watch in a bundle that evaluates simply 49g. The analogue display shows the time on the primary dial (with a month of battery life )and also development in the direction of your step goal on the 2nd dial-- yet there's so much a lot more taking place than this.The Withings Steel Human Resources has a 24/7 heart price display that will certainly keep tabs on VO2 Max and also it will match up with a smart device to track outdoor exercises via GPS, although the technology isn't built right into the watch itself. It's additionally swimproof to 50m and isn't as well worn-out in
the swimming pool either, tracking laps and lengths What's even more, Withings Health and wellness Mate application is just one of the ideal available for maintaining tabs on all your assorted wellness data.The remainder of the smartwatch area is largely included variants of Put on OS devices that run Google's real smartwatch platform.
The issue with most of these gadgets is they feel a minimum of a generation(or even more)behind where Apple and Samsung are at with wearables. They have less functions, even worse battery life, and often thick, awkward layouts. Based upon our experience, the Use OS sees that get on the very best are ones made by Fossil and also its secure of brand names (such as Skagen), which are available in a selection of designs and sizes.It's no slouch as a connected watch either, and also will certainly alert you to notifications on your smart device using vibrations and the tiny OLED display develop into the bezel.
This can using quick as well as fairly unrefined signals, yet
can reveal you when a message/call/calendar alerts are coming with utilizing fast icons.It's a removed back smartwatch experience but one that's packed into a trendy, comfy and small crossbreed that doesn't make as many compromises as you would certainly think.Huawei is still selecting its Watch 2, yet in 2018 returned to the table
with something completely various. The Huawei Watch GT loads a substantial set of features yet on top of a custom-made os-- those are words we usually utter with a huge amount of uneasiness, yet the Watch GT uses two weeks of battery life, which is a compelling sell.And it doesn't scrimp on technology. Huawei has actually packed in a 1.39-inch, 454 x 454 AMOLED display. Which is amongst the very best we have actually had fun with, conveniently comparing with the vibrancy and sharpness located on the Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch Collection 4. Lite OS may take away several of the much deeper elements previously found in Huawei smartwatches, it's still an impressive activity tracker with heart rate surveillance and sleep tracking.Sports tracking on the general
is excellent, however there is one gripe we do have: data can not be shown to third-party applications. Every one of your information can just live within Huawei's companion Wellness application. We additionally discovered the heart rate data to lag method behind accomplished sports tracking rivals.Huawei makes big pledges in the battery department: up to 2 weeks with typical usage, a total day of GPS monitoring and also approximately a month with attributes like always-on display screen as well as GPS switched off. As well as it delivers. Despite continuous heart rate tracking transformed on, we have actually just had to charge the Watch GT as soon as during our three weeks of use.There's now new Huawei Watch GT Classy as well as active versions that offers a much less stylish appearance yet comes with all of the very same functions adding a new Triathlon tracking setting. For those looking for Pebble-esque long life, however are prepared to forgo the glamour as well as lure of a fully developed os as well as all the applications and beauty-- the Huawei Watch GT is an intriguing selection. And with its fourth-generation smartwatches, it's generated possibly the most attractive smartwatch on the market, from a fashion perspective.Sharing some similarities with the older Michael Kors Accessibility Sofie (our previous finest fashion watch choice ), the Fossil Q Endeavor HR wants to stand out, and also followers of a much more dressy watch will most likely find it a better fit than those who like to keep their wrist wear understated.Fossil is still keeping display resolution and other specs under covers, but we do know this generation(which includes the men's Fossil Q Explorist HR)is the most feature-packed we have actually seen from the company. There's custom-made Michael Kors see faces there too to far better compliment that trendy watch body.Battery life is the Put on OS smartwatch standard, so you can anticipate to get you through a day as well as maybe a little additional. Now Montblanc wants in.Features such as heart price monitors, and variety of
various other sensing units have actually made their method right into the smartwatches, enabling them to really change the wearable experience right into something better, and versatile at the same time.Since the market at this point is filled with smartwatches of all kinds, we took it on ourselves to take a look at the finest smartwatches you can buy, yet initially, we are going to be looking at some of the vital information regarding the smartwatches.Its very first smartwatch was underwhelming however, in its second coming, the Summit 2 is a watch that delivers on layout as well as on features.Montblanc has designed its second generation watch on its 1858 collection offering streamlined initial watch encounters, a high grade construction and a leading notch 1.2-inch, 390 x 390 resolution touchscreen display.Google's Use OS runs the show, however Montblanc handles to leave its mark with extra apps and those watch encounters we mentioned to aid points really feel even more distinct. Which is amongst the ideal we have actually played with, easily matching up with the vibrancy as well as intensity found on the Galaxy Watch and also Apple Watch Collection 4. Also with continual heart price tracking transformed on, we've only had to charge the Watch GT as soon as throughout our 3 weeks of use.There's currently brand-new Huawei Watch GT Active as well as Sophisticated versions that supplies a much less flashy appearance but comes with all of the same features adding a brand-new Triathlon tracking mode.
Having a small computer strapped around your wrist is no longer a pipe desire. The Apple Watch as well as various other alternatives from prominent suppliers, like Fitbit, Samsung, LG, and also Fossil, have actually been gunning to craft the best smartwatch. Now a few years elder, the smartwatch market supplies more than ever before, whether you want a specific design, iOS and Android phone compatibility, or just a lot of features.Smartwatches are in impolite
health and wellness yet when it concerns the very best smartwatch in 2019, it's most certainly the Apple Watch Collection 4. Yet it comes with a rate, as well as there are many leading smartwatches at less costly rates and with similarly great health and fitness features.Whether you're trying to find a great smartwatch for fitness tracking, running or a simply taking alerts and also phone calls-- there are lots of excellent alternatives for every single budget plan. What's even more, smartwatches are obtaining much more fashionable too.Today's best smartwatch deals f you've obtained an Android phone, the Apple Watch won't function at all, as well as
the ideal option here is Samsung
's Galaxy Watch. The Galaxy Watch does collaborate with both iPhones as well as Android devices, but it's ideal with an Android phone, and also particularly, one made by Samsung.The Galaxy Watch has most all of the features you 'd expect on a contemporary smartwatch: GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, touchscreen, multi-day battery life, voice control, mobile payments, and also heart price surveillance. It has a circular face that's easy to read inside as well as out, and also has a really useful always-on setting that makes it easy to see the moment at a glance.We're roughly 4 years right into the Great Modern Smartwatch Experiment, which means we've discovered what smartwatches can be helpful for
(fitness monitoring, notices )and also what they are most definitely bad for(replacing your mobile phone completely). If you remain in the market for a smartwatch, whether that's due to the fact that you've never ever possessed one in the past as well as are interested concerning them or you're wanting to update your older-generation model, you can expect today's smartwatches to last a little bit longer between fees, be a little faster to achieve things, and also perhaps do a number of brand-new tricks you weren't expecting.But the very best smartwatch is still significantly a slave to a smart device, and even if you spend for an LTE-connected version and pay a service strategy cost for it, it's not going
to free you totally. Because of that, we don't believe LTE smartwatches are a great buy for lots of people-- it's much simpler as well as cheaper to simply keep your phone with you and use your watch as a kind of remote control for the phone in your pocket or bag.Which smartwatch you select is mosting likely to be based completely on what phone you possess, so our picks are broken down into the most effective alternative for apple iphone individuals as well as the ideal one for Android owners.The Apple Watch Collection 4 is as close to smartwatch excellence as we have actually attended date-- it's a versatile and effective wearable that can use a massive range of functions. While those trying to find a basic smartwatch may locate the Collection 4's significant range of physical fitness, health as well as connected features to be overkill, it has the ability to morph between fitness tracker, sports watch and serious health tool at will, making it a severe crowd pleaser.Apple's latest See addition provides us the most significant style change since the initial, bringing new 40mm and also 44mm dimensions (in contrast to 38mm as well as 42mm). That implies more area to reveal off all the current software application features introduced in watchOS 5. It has all the exact same core health and fitness and sporting activities monitoring as the Collection 3, consisting of built-in GENERAL PRACTITIONERS
for monitoring of outside workouts and a swimproof style. Health and fitness monitoring evaluation may delay Fitbit, yet Apple's unique goals-- represented by the closing of Relocate, Stand and also Calorie rings-- is still an effective motivator. Nonetheless, there's still no native sleep tracking
right here, yet this can be done via a 3rd party app.The heading attributes are the new ECG display that unlocks the ability for significant heart wellness monitoring. It's been FDA got rid of, so the function can be used to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. It's currently available beyond the US with Apple adding 19 even more countries that can sign in on their heart health from the new Watch. You also do not have to do that manually, and also the Apple Watch continuously keeps track of for reduced
and elevated heart rates, along with AFib. There's additionally a brand-new loss discovery setting that can allow customers gain access to Siri to speak to emergency situation services or an emergency contact.If you are seeking a terrific smartwatch that does not set you back a great deal of money, the S928 Sports Watch may be an excellent alternative. It is just one of the most affordable smartwatch on my listing, and while I am normally determined when it concerns evaluating such items, it interested me to the core.The watch is designed rather just, as well as as opposed to having an expensive display screen or high resolution, it utilizes a basic, monochromatic display. Honestly, I do not mind that in any way, smartwatches are all about being simplistic in my opinion, as well as the S928 Sports Watch does a fantastic task at that.Where it does not have a display screen, the S928 Sports Watch comprises by giving several of the very best features that you can want in a smartwatch. In order to make points less complicated for the viewers, I am note down the functions below.Heart Price Display: The watch includes a heart price screen that is able to give live heart price updates.GPS: The S928 Sports Watch additionally feature a constructed in 3D accelerometer +gyroscope3D, allowing the customers to be able to track every step they make throughout their exercise regime.Outdoor Data: The watch is also qualified of maintaining a record of the exterior information, meaning that you obtain actual time updates on how the weather is outdoors. Permitting you to be able to intend your exercise carefully.These are several of the advanced or standard attributes that are in the watch. While they might not look enough, it is very important to recognize that these attributes function throughout the entire ecological community of the
watch, allowing these sensors to take full control of the situation.The smartwatch can be managed through an application that is offered on both iphone as well as Android. Honestly, the application is as fundamental as it can get, and also can make use of a bit
more gloss. There are a couple of more things that I did not recognize regarding the watch; you can not change the time style to 12 hrs if you want to.In addition to that, the watch itself only sustains English as a language, while the app itself has 12 languages in total amount. This inconsistency can be a problem for people who do not have English as their key language, as well as despite the fact that 12 languages behave to have, they are just enough.The good idea below is that the app is being continuously updated by the developer, so I can assume that extra
languages will certainly be added at some point in the future. Very same opts for the watch as the firmware can be updated when released.All in all, the S928 is a respectable smartwatch for Android, it is cost-effective, functions as it is meant to, and does not featured unneeded functions that can drain the battery. I would claim that this smartwatch includes the bare basics, as well as certainly has a market among the giants.Sure, the absence of advanced attributes, and also languages is disconcerting, but you likewise need to take price into consideration when you are evaluating a product.Although smartwatches have existed for a long, long time, their venture into the mainstream is only current. With companies like Samsung, Apple, Asus, Huawei, as well as numerous others are functioning day and also night to boost the watches, as well as really make the experience a lot better.Amidst all this, there exists the customer mindset that still believes that the conventional, analog watches are way, way much better as they are crafted with fantastic accuracy, in addition to perfection. This has actually led to numerous debates just how smartwatches should not exist, or are considered bane of the wrist watch concept.Still, for individuals who in fact favor their watches show all the necessary details that comes
to their phone, all linked right into one environment actually take into consideration smartwatches to be very helpful, and also following that into the marketplace, the smartwatch sector at this moment is creating a separate entity for itself.The Series 4 comes loading LTE once more so you can take it out sans apple iphone and still make/receive telephone calls, get texts and also all other alerts you would certainly on your phone. A brand-new audio speaker likewise makes Siri chats and also call audio louder and also clearer.Battery life is
the major gripe still, and also for all the renovations, Apple can still just use 24-48 hours-- which for several simply isn't great enough.The Fitbit Versa is the firm's 2nd smartwatch and, together with a modification in design direction, it's crucially readily available at a more affordable price than the Apple Watch-- it can usually be gotten for around$179.99. And don't fail to remember-Fitbit has announced the Versa Lite Edition(extra on that below)which clocks in at $159. The Fitbit Versa can be found in a host of different finishes as well as with a big collection of bands to mix up the appearance. And many thanks to the runaway success of the smartwatch, there's a dynamic market of straps to pick from.The Versa uses every one of the very same fitness and also sporting activities monitoring features you 'd get out of the Fitbit ecosystem, though the huge omission below is the absence of GPS. If you intend to track runs as well as flights, you'll need to take your smart device with you, as well as the watch can piggyback your phone's data.
For numerous this won't be a huge problem, but as significant runners it's a degree of difficulty we like to avoid.Fitbit OS 2.0 brings a new-look UI that provides a lot more understandings into your everyday information as well as quick reply support for Android phone users(iOS assistance coming with a later date). You can still download apps as well as an entire great deal of watch deals with, pay from your wrist using Fitbit Pay, and also use Fitbit Train. The brand-new women's wellness tracking has actually additionally been introduced for the very first time, which is also readily available for the
Ionic, too.But it's battery life that really has the power to force customers, as well as the eye-catching price. You can obtain 5 days on a single cost, which means less inconvenience on weekends away, and simpler rest tracking.Fitbit had such terrific success with the first
Versa that it made a decision to make a less expensive variation that strips out some of the smartwatch features.The Lite is almost identical to the initial Versa in looks, conserve for now simply a single physical button on guard body, which implies you'll be relying more on the touchscreen display to navigate the Versa Lite.

Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Sync
Where the Galaxy Watch falls brief remains in its third-party app support and also dependence on Samsung software program as well as solutions. There just aren't much third-party applications readily available for it, as well as the third-party watchfaces, though plentiful, aren't great. If you make use of the Galaxy View with a phone that's not made by Samsung, you'll also need to set up various applications on your phone to enable all of its functions, which is annoying.But apart from Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Sync .
http://musee-bourgdoisans.com/garmin/garmin-forerunner-235-wrong-day
http://musee-bourgdoisans.com/garmin/garmin-forerunner-235-watch-bands
those issues, the Galaxy Watch is around just as good as it gets for Android users.For years Samsung's Equipment collection of smartwatches have actually been controling the market for all the best reasons. This is what happens when you take clever advertising and marketing as well as Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Syncamazing products in order to integrate them with each other. The Gear S3 is most definitely among my favourite smartwatches.Right out of the box, you can tell that the S3 is a top smartwatch;
released earlier this year, the S3 concentrates on everything that was right in the previous variations, as well as includes much more features than in the past. Certain, I know it costs relatively more than some of the other choices on the checklist, yet it is okay.Starting off, the construct top quality is extremely pleasing, with premium top quality materials made use of throughout the construction. The watch definitely feels like a style declaration as high as it really feels like a costs smartwatch.Unlike several of the various other smartwatches out there, the Gear S3 does not work on Android Use, instead, it operates on Samsung's own OS called Tizen. Prior to my evaluation, I had my doubts about this OS as it is still something new, as well as unknown to me.Luckily, upon making use of the look for a week, I can claim that the OS is appealing, nonetheless, the extreme absence of apps may maintain some users at bay. Samsung just recently pushed Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Sync
an upgraded to this watch, permitting you to save offline Spotify playlists onto the 4GB of storage.This function makes my life easy since I no longer need to rely upon my information connection to pay attention to the music whenever I am outdoors. The Gear S3 has a computer animated always-on display, as well as unlike a few of the other watches I use on a conventional basis, this is one beautiful screen, thanks to Samsung.Another excellent point that I such as concerning the Gear S3 is the fact that it comes packed with activity trackers of all sorts, and while numerous individuals could feel cynical regarding it, particularly when you consider the quantity of consents it calls for. It actually is not that large of an issue to be honest.The Equipment S3 likewise uses a great, instinctive interface that is amongst the finest I have seen in any type of smartwatch.
Every one of these good functions integrate and also make this a leading smartwatch. However, I do have some concerns that are needed to be checklist out.For starters, the watch looks big on your wrist; currently that is something that entirely depends on exactly how your wrists are. This is a subjective concern by all means, but I still think it is essential to direct it out. Another thing that was a disappointment was the sheer absence of correct apps. Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Sync
That is generally as a result of the fact that Tizen is still a smartwatch OS that is creating, and also progressing. I can tell you that the Samsung Gear S3 is most definitely one of the ideal smartwatches 2017 if you are fine with these minor aggravations. Developer smartwatches are capturing on, but most of alternatives available likely originated from Fossil Group's ranks-- and
one of the finest among them is the exceptional Skagen Falster 2. It's a unisex watch that can be found in a unisex size, although it's most certainly one of the a lot more manly finishes in the Fossil Group line-up. Light as well as slim, the Skagen obstacles those who whine that smartwatches are as well beefy, loading a complete 1.19-inch OLED touchscreen. In regards to size, the case has actually been shrunk to 40mm, which as small as any type of smartwatch around-- and it's very light also. At 0.8 mm thick it's no Daniel Wellington, however it's as comfy as any type of full-screen Put on OS look out there.
It takes a standard 20mm strap, so you can virtually select anything from the analogue watch globe to pimp out your smartwatch.There are drawbacks for a tech perspective. It utilized older Qualcomm modern technology so battery life is mired around a single day's use as well as we did observe some performance issues. Yet if you're trying to find style first as well as technology 2nd-- and also there is definitely nothing wrong with that said-- the Skagen Falster 2 is well worth your time.
Fossil Group might be holding the umbrella over a number of fashion houses producing smartwatches, however that doesn't indicate it's not completing in the sector itself. And also with its fourth-generation smartwatches, it's generated possibly the most appealing smartwatch on the marketplace, from a fashion perspective.Sharing some similarities with the older Michael Kors Accessibility Sofie (our previous ideal fashion watch choice ), the Fossil Q Venture HR wants to attract attention, as well as followers of a more elegant watch will possibly locate it a far better fit than those who such as to maintain their wrist wear understated.Fossil is still maintaining screen resolution and other specs under wraps, but we do know this generation(that includes the guys's Fossil Q Explorist HR)is the most feature-packed we've seen from the firm.
Building on the design enhancements of the third-gen tools, which saw the level tyre got rid of and a slimmer kind aspect, the Q Venture Human Resources currently likewise harbours some significant technology under the bezel.There's currently a heart rate monitor, as the name suggests, for tracking beats throughout the day as well as during exercise, a GENERAL PRACTITIONERS keep an eye on to stay on par with your workouts, as well as an NFC chip to enable Google Pay. Add to that the capacity to take this undersea up
to 50 metres, all on the top of the renewed Wear OS, as well as all of it rounds out as a very total smartwatch experience.One of our leading smartwatch choices for ladies along with the Fossil Q Endeavor is Michael Kors'Access Runway. The apple iphone as well as Android-friendly runs on Google's Put on OS and also develops on the previous generation Michael Kors smartwatches, going huge on looks when again.Its 41mm situation residences a beautiful 1.19-inch 390 x 390 AMOLED touchscreen screen.
There's your selection of stainless steel and also leather bands, and it's additionally readily available in a somewhat extra expensive Ceramic model.On the attributes front, the Runway brings integrated GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, a heart rate display, a swimproof style as well as Google Pay to allow contactless settlements.
It's perhaps not finest suited to go for a run with, but if you care concerning taking advantage of Google's fitness monitoring features, it greater than does the job.Google's Wear OS certainly runs the software application program so you're additionally obtaining notification assistance, Google Assistant, the capacity to transfer songs to your watch and customisable watch faces.

Profits, you'll require to bill it every day.If you're not planning to get sweaty with it and also you're trying to find a
seriously good-looking smartwatch, the Runway absolutely fits the bill.Luxury smartwatches are a point and also some of them are actually excellent. It began with Tag Heuer's smartwatches then the similarity Louis Vuitton signed up with the linked party also. Currently Montblanc desires in.Features such as heart rate monitors, as well as huge selection of
various other sensing units have made their method right into the smartwatches, permitting them to genuinely transform the wearable experience into something better, and flexible at the exact same time.Since the marketplace at this moment is loaded with smartwatches of all types, we took it on ourselves to have a look at the finest smartwatches you can acquire, however initially, we are going to be checking out a few of the important information about the smartwatches.Its first smartwatch was underwhelming but, in its second coming, the Summit 2 is a watch that delivers on design as well as on features.
Montblanc has actually modelled its second generation watch on its 1858 collection offering sleek original watch encounters, a high quality construction as well as a top notch 1.2-inch, 390 x 390 resolution touchscreen display.Google's Wear OS runs the program, yet Montblanc manages to leave its mark with added applications and also those watch encounters we mentioned to help points feel more distinct.
It's now packed with even more hardware functions including integrated GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, a heart price screen and a completely water resistant design to include any type of extra layer of durability.This is likewise among the first Put on OS smartwatches to operate on Qualcomm's new smartwatch technology that provides efficiency enhancements across
the board consisting of battery life. You're not going to get a week out of it, but it ought to make it via the day and maybe a little extra.The brand-new fitness features could not be perfect, yet it behaves for the informal health club goer
. When you're not sweating it out, it'll sit there looking beautiful.The bulk of smartwatches in our list have actually been full-screen devices, but
the Withings Steel Human Resources approaches things a little in different ways-- yet is still an effective connected watch in a bundle that considers simply 49g. The analogue screen shows the moment on the primary dial (with a month of battery life )and progression towards your action goal on the second dial-- however there's a lot a lot more taking place than this.The Withings Steel Human Resources has a 24/7 heart price screen that will keep tabs on VO2 Max and also it will pair with a smartphone to track outside workouts by means of GPS, although the tech isn't built right into the watch itself. It's likewise swimproof to 50m and also isn't as well shoddy in
the pool either, tracking lengths and laps What's even more, Withings Wellness Mate app is just one of the most effective around for keeping tabs on all your diverse health and wellness data.The remainder of the smartwatch field is greatly consisted of variants of Use OS tools that run Google's real smartwatch system.
The issue with the majority of these gadgets is they really feel at the very least a generation(or more)behind where Apple and also Samsung go to with wearables. They have fewer features, even worse battery life, as well as frequently thick, clumsy layouts. Based on our experience, the Use OS sees that make out the ideal are ones made by Fossil as well as its steady of brands (such as Skagen), which are offered in a variety of designs as well as sizes.It's no slouch as a connected watch either, as well as will signal you to notices on your mobile phone using vibrations as well as the little OLED display develop into the bezel.
This is qualified of providing rather unrefined as well as quick signals, however
can reveal you when a message/call/calendar signals are coming through using quick icons.It's a removed back smartwatch experience yet one that's loaded into a trendy, tiny and also comfortable crossbreed that does not make as several compromises as you would certainly think.Huawei is still opting for its Watch 2, however in 2018 came back to the table
with something totally different. The Huawei Watch GT packs a massive set of features but in addition to a personalized operating system-- those are words we generally utter with a huge quantity of uneasiness, but the Watch GT uses two weeks of battery life, which is an engaging sell.And it does not scrimp on technology. Huawei has crammed in a 1.39-inch, 454 x 454 AMOLED display. Which is among the most effective we have actually had fun with, comfortably comparing with the vibrancy and sharpness found on the Galaxy Watch and also Apple Watch Series 4. Lite OS might eliminate a few of the much deeper aspects formerly located in Huawei smartwatches, it's still a remarkable activity tracker with heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking.Sports tracking on the general
is good, however there is one gripe we do have: data can not be shown third-party apps. Every one of your information can only live inside of Huawei's companion Health app. We additionally discovered the heart rate information to lag method behind established sports tracking rivals.Huawei makes big promises in the battery department: up to two weeks with regular use, a full day of GPS tracking and approximately a month with features like always-on screen as well as GENERAL PRACTITIONER transformed off. As well as it provides. Even with continuous heart rate monitoring switched on, we've just needed to bill the Watch GT once throughout our three weeks of use.There's currently brand-new Huawei Watch GT Stylish and also active editions that provides a much less sporty appearance however features all of the exact same features adding a new Triathlon tracking mode. For those looking for Pebble-esque durability, but agree to abandon the glitz and appeal of a totally created os and all the apps and also glamour-- the Huawei Watch GT is an intriguing option. As well as with its fourth-generation smartwatches, it's created maybe the most eye-catching smartwatch on the market, from a fashion perspective.Sharing some resemblances with the older Michael Kors Accessibility Sofie (our previous finest fashion watch pick ), the Fossil Q Venture HR desires to stand out, and also fans of an extra elegant watch will most likely discover it a far better fit than those who such as to maintain their wrist wear understated.Fossil is still keeping screen resolution and also various other specifications under wraps, yet we do recognize this generation(which consists of the males's Fossil Q Explorist Human Resources)is the most feature-packed we have actually seen from the company.

to free you entirely. Therefore, we do not think LTE smartwatches are a good buy for a lot of individuals-- it's far less complicated as well as more affordable to just keep your phone with you and also utilize your watch as a type of remote for the phone in your pocket or bag.Which smartwatch you select is mosting likely to be based entirely on what phone you have, so our picks are broken down into the very best alternative for apple iphone individuals and the very best one for Android owners.The Apple Watch Series 4 is as close to smartwatch perfection as we've seen to date-- it's a flexible and powerful wearable that can supply a substantial variety of functions.

That suggests even more area to display all the most up to date software application functions introduced in watchOS 5. It has all the very same core physical fitness as well as sporting activities tracking as the Collection 3, including integrated GPS
for monitoring of outside workouts as well as a swimproof style. Fitness tracking analysis might delay Fitbit, however Apple's unique objectives-- indicated by the closing of Relocate, Stand as well as Calorie rings-- is still a powerful motivator. There's still no native sleep monitoring
here, however this can be done using a 3rd event app.The heading functions are the new ECG screen that unlocks the capacity for severe heart health and wellness monitoring. It's been FDA cleared, so the function can be utilized to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. It's currently readily available beyond the United States with Apple including 19 even more nations that can check in on their heart health from the brand-new Watch. You additionally don't have to do that by hand, as well as the Apple Watch constantly monitors for reduced
and also raised heart prices, as well as AFib. There's also a brand-new autumn detection setting that can let customers gain access to Siri to speak to emergency services or an emergency contact.If you are trying to find a wonderful smartwatch that does not set you back a great deal of loan, the S928 Sports Watch may be a great option. It is one of the most inexpensive smartwatch on my listing, and while I am usually determined when it concerns testing such things, it interested me to the core.The watch is developed rather simply, and also rather of having an expensive display screen or high resolution, it utilizes an easy, single screen. Truthfully, I do not mind that whatsoever, smartwatches are all about being simplified in my point of view, and also the S928 Sports Watch does an excellent job at that.Where it lacks a screen, the S928 Sports Watch comprises by supplying some of the finest features that you can desire in a smartwatch.

While they might not look sufficient, it is very important to recognize that these attributes work throughout the entire environment of the
watch, allowing these sensors to take complete control of the situation.The smartwatch can be regulated through an app that is readily available on both iphone and also Android. Truthfully, the app is as basic as it can obtain, and also can utilize a bit
extra gloss. There are a few more things that I did not recognize concerning the watch; you can not transform the moment style to 12 hrs if you want to.In enhancement to that, the watch itself just supports English as a language, while the application itself has 12 languages in total. This inconsistency can be a problem for people who do not have English as their key language, and also despite the fact that 12 languages are good to have, they are simply enough.The good idea right here is that the app is being frequently upgraded by the programmer, so I can presume that added
languages will certainly be included at some time in the future. Very same goes with the watch as the firmware can be updated when released.All in all, the S928 is a respectable smartwatch for Android, it is inexpensive, works as it is intended to, as well as does not come with unnecessary functions that can drain the battery. I would certainly claim that this smartwatch comes with the bare basics, and also certainly has a market among the giants.Sure, the absence of sophisticated attributes, and also languages is startling, however you likewise require to take rate into consideration when you are evaluating a product.Although smartwatches have actually existed for a long, long period of time, their foray into the mainstream is only current. With business like Samsung, Apple, Asus, Huawei, and also a number of others are burning the midnight oil to enhance the watches, and also genuinely make the experience a lot better.Amidst all this, there exists the consumer mindset that still believes that the typical, analog watches are way, method much better as they are crafted with wonderful accuracy, along with perfection. This has actually resulted in numerous disputes exactly how smartwatches shouldn't exist, or are taken into consideration scourge of the wrist watch concept.Still, for individuals that really favor their watches display all the necessary details that comes
to their phone, all linked into one ecosystem actually consider smartwatches to be very useful, as well as following that right into the marketplace, the smartwatch industry at this moment is producing a different entity for itself.The Collection 4 comes loading LTE once more so you can take it out sans apple iphone and also still make/receive telephone calls, obtain messages as well as all various other notifications you would certainly on your phone. A brand-new audio speaker likewise makes Siri chats and call audio louder and clearer.Battery life is
the primary complaint still, and for all the enhancements, Apple can still only use 24-48 hours-- which for many merely isn't great enough.The Fitbit Versa is the firm's 2nd smartwatch as well as, along with a change in design direction, it's crucially available at a more budget friendly cost than the Apple Watch-- it can frequently be grabbed for around$179.99. And do not forget-Fitbit has actually revealed the Versa Lite Version(much more on that particular listed below)which clocks in at $159. The Fitbit Versa can be found in a host of various coatings and with a large collection of bands to blend the look. And many thanks to the runaway success of the smartwatch, there's a dynamic market of straps to pick from.The Versa uses every one of the same health and fitness as well as sports tracking features you would certainly anticipate from the Fitbit ecosystem, though the big noninclusion below is the absence of GPS. If you desire to track runs and rides, you'll require to take your smartphone with you, as well as the watch can piggyback your phone's information.
For several this will not be a huge issue, however as major runners it's a level of difficulty we such as to avoid.Fitbit OS 2.0 brings a new-look UI that uses more understandings right into your day-to-day information and also quick reply assistance for Android phone users(iphone assistance coming with a later day). You can still download and install apps as well as a lot of watch faces, pay from your wrist utilizing Fitbit Pay, and also use Fitbit Train. Meanwhile the new females's wellness monitoring has actually additionally been introduced for the first time, which is additionally readily available for the
Ionic, too.But it's battery life that really has the power to force customers, as well as the attractive cost. You can obtain five days on a solitary cost, which means much less hassle on weekend breaks away, and also less complex sleep tracking.Fitbit had such terrific success with the first
Versa that it decided to make a cheaper version that strips out several of the smartwatch features.The Lite is almost the same to the first Versa in looks, save for now simply a single physical button on the watch body, which means you'll be relying extra on the touchscreen screen to navigate the Versa Lite. In our experience, we really did not miss the second switch also much.In regards to the attribute that are lost, you don't obtain an integrated music gamer or swim tracking (it's still waterproof though). You do obtain an optical heart rate monitor and also all the basic health and fitness tracking and sporting activities tracking functions along with app-based features like women's health and wellness tracking. There's additionally no more Wi-Fi, with Fitbit introducing a new and simpler way to upgrade your smartwatch via step-by-step history downloads.Sports and physical fitness tracking performance is not that different from what we discovered on the very first Versa.
Rest tracking is still a standout feature, while the heart rate display still often tends to falter for high strength exercises. As a core smartwatch experience it's suitable, yet it still lacks in contrast to its closest competitors.
Specifically in the application division. If you enjoy watch faces however, you're well offered here.Thankfully you still obtain the same four-day plus battery life, which can most definitely stretch to five days depending on use. That's still better than what Apple and Google's Wear OS watches can work up best now.If you suched as the Versa, however like to invest a little much less, the Versa Lite Edition is suitable choice. The swim tracking is a frustrating omission much more so than the songs player, however if you can live without checking your pool sessions it's still a great smartwatch to consider at a fantastic price.The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the follower to the Gear S3 as well as is still among the most effective watches around. Suitable with Android and also iOS, it currently is available in both 42mm and also 46mm models.Samsung treads between smartwatch as well as fitness tracker, likewise cramming in a heart price sensor along with the GENERAL PRACTITIONER as well as its much-improved Samsung Wellness software program. There's also the choice of LTE, if you long for an untethered connection, with a standalone speaker for taking calls on the watch. It's now water resistant too, including swim tracking skills that are on the same level with the Watch Series 4. The Galaxy Watch runs on Samsung's Tizen OS 4.0 as well as seems like a far better alternative to Google's Put on OS right now. You still get that turning bezel and one of the best screens you can find on a smartwatch. Nonetheless, the application option
still lags method behind the Apple Watch and also Put on OS devices. That claimed, the Spotify app is fantastic as well as supplies offline playback.Battery life, we must say, is likewise strong, obtaining you 2-3 days on the 42mm model and also more on the 46mm variation.
If you're not a fan of Put on OS and do not want an Apple Watch, this is the leading option to consider instead.Garmin has actually been putting out best smartwatches for sports fans for a while now. Running, cycling, swimming, golf-- Garmin has had us well and genuinely covered. Despite the Leader name, the 645 Songs is much more in the mould of the Vivoactive 3 Music. It's obtained a comparable look and also brings the music this moment. This helps make the Garmin more of a smartwatch opponent to the Apple Watch, Samsung Equipment or Fitbit Ionic than before.Not just are you getting enough storage space for 500 tunes, but you're getting the offline playlist support for Spotify, Deezer and also iHeartRadio. For transferring your own tracks, start up Garmin Express on your computer system, pick the Songs tab and also pick from your very own songs to port over.That exact same attractive stainless-steel style is here. The 240 x 240 pixel display at the heart of the body is by no implies the brightest or most dynamic you'll locate, yet most importantly delivers strong presence in the majority of workout problems, whether you're sweating it out inside or outside. Nevertheless, there is no touchscreen or touchpad here, so you'll have to resort to pushing some buttons.As far as the variety of sports available to track: while it's even more of the same, there are some remarkable exclusions-- like golf monitoring and also open water swimming( pool swimming is there though). Heart price monitoring is decent otherwise class-leading, as well as it won't keep you waiting about for a GENERAL PRACTITIONER signal. There's additionally all the tension monitoring rewards from Garmin's physical fitness trackers. As multi-sport smartwatches go, this is the most effective in our eyes, as well as constructs on all the excellent work Garmin performed with its previous iterations.For iPhone proprietors, Apple's Collection 4 Watch is by far the very best choice offered. The Apple Watch has a large, brilliant screen; smooth, comfy equipment; quickly performance; really trusted battery life; and an entire host of health and fitness tracking and also health-related attributes. The Apple Watch likewise has the best third-party Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Syncecological community-- there are numerous straps, devices, battery chargers, anchors, apps, as well as watchface issues you can utilize with the Apple Watch.The Apple Watch succeeds at providing quick access to any type of alerts that can be found in to your phone, as well as it lets you respond to messages right from your wrist rapidly as well as conveniently. You can use it as a speakerphone whenever you seem like mimicing Dick Tracy, and it's great for controlling Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Sync
songs playing on your phone. It additionally has Apple Spend for purchasing things without a purse or your gps, phone and heart rate monitoring for workouts, and even the capability to advise you if it finds certain heart problems.THE APPLE WATCH COLLECTION 4 HAS ALL OF THE ATTRIBUTES EXPECTED IN A SMARTWATCH Battery life can vary depending on exactly how much you use the Watch to track activities and the amount of notices you get, but in our screening, the Collection 4 Watch never ever fell short to last at the very least a whole day between costs, and usually it could go for two days. It's still something you need to bill rather frequently, yet you do not have to fret regarding it passing away on your wrist midway with the day if you have actually started with a full tank.Unlike virtually every various other smartwatch on the market, the Apple Watch still doesn't provide an always-on display, however, so it doesn't actually inform you the time up until you touch the screen or raise your wrist. It's still very ironic that the important things the Apple Watch is the most awful at is being an Garmin Forerunner 235 Won't Sync
actual time-keeping device.But besides that, there's really little to complain about with the Apple Watch Series 4, as well as it's conveniently the most effective option for iPhone users.Of program, we're providing the Forerunner right here as a smartwatch, as well as Garmin has actually included decent smarts. Fitness monitoring is amazing and Garmin Attach is a suitable community for wellness data from actions and also rest9 to workouts as well as anxiety. You can obtain everything happening on your smartwatch mirrored to your Leader, from phone calls as well as notifies, as well as it will draw in information on weather condition as well as the like. As well as battery life is seriously outstanding, with a couple of weeks even for power users.To provide you the run-through, the watch has a 1.1-inch, 360 x 360 display, 20mm interchangeable bands and evaluates just 25g. The 40mm instance makes it smaller sized than the Galaxy Watch as well as the Equipment Sporting activity-yet it sacrifices the rotating bezel. Regardless of the decrease in size, it is just one of the most comfortable Samsung smartwatches we have actually used as well as still has a high-quality display. That bezel is missed out on in locations (specifically
for choosing apps), but on the whole there's a great deal to such as concerning this dinky watch.The Samsung Galaxy Watch Energetic still runs Tizen as well as introduces OneUI from Samsung's phones. It doesn't significantly transform the software program experience, yet it's zippy at swiping via screens and releasing apps.There's still GPS aboard and the swim tracking actually impressed us in terms of precision. The same can be stated concerning the heart rate screen, which even delivered in the high-intensity examinations. However it's the Active's health and fitness monitoring abilities that really impressed us with its capability to maintain us moving in purposeful yet tiny ways.Samsung additionally consists of mindfulness functions like stress monitoring and also directed breathing. It did additionally guarantee us high blood pressure surveillance, yet in our experience it's plainly not working as promised.Battery life is around a day and also a half, however can stretch to 2 days with a power saving mode that still allows you obtain notifications.If you can live with several of
its imperfections and also you're looking for a fitness-focused smartwatch that's smaller sized than many of the competition, this could be the one for you.Another leading budget choice, the Ticwatch E2 provides accessibility to the benefits of Put on OS( the brand-new name for Android Put on)in a trendy as well as wallet-friendly package.The 46mm watch steps in at around 13mm thick and is only available in black. You do obtain a choice of compatible bands to make it much less sporty though.The fitness monitoring as been" inspired"by the Apple Watch, and provides a well-designed and also cool monitoring experience. And also when it pertains to genuine sporting activity, you can take advantage of Use OS's variety of applications from the similarity Strava, Runkeeper and also more.There's GPS integrated in as well as a heart price monitor too, although we located the latter lacking in our cardiovascular test. The headline function is that it's now swimproof and also does provide good swim monitoring skills in the pool too.It's by no suggests a full physical fitness experience, but we such as the Ticwatch's funky layout and deal cost. For laid-back individuals, is a fascinating smartwatch option.The ideal part of the Galaxy Watch is its turning bezel, which is an extremely
natural and simple method to glide with the software application user interface. Like the Apple Watch Series 4, the Galaxy Watch has no difficulty lasting an entire day in between charges, as well as will certainly often stretch into numerous days depending on your usage.
The Galaxy Watch does function with both apples iphone as well as Android gadgets, but it's finest with an Android phone, as well as specifically, one made by Samsung.The Galaxy Watch has most all of the functions you 'd expect on a contemporary smartwatch: GPS, touchscreen, multi-day battery life, voice control, mobile payments, as well as heart price monitoring. For that reason, we don't think LTE smartwatches are an excellent buy for the majority of people-- it's much simpler as well as more affordable to simply maintain your phone with you and also utilize your watch as a sort of remote control for the phone in your pocket or bag.Which smartwatch you select is going to be based totally on what phone you possess, so our choices are broken down right into the best option for iPhone customers as well as the ideal one for Android owners.The Apple Watch Collection 4 is as close to smartwatch excellence as we've seen to date-- it's a effective and versatile wearable that can supply a huge variety of features. While those looking for a basic smartwatch could locate the Series 4's huge variety of physical fitness, wellness and also connected functions to be overkill, it's able to change in between health and fitness tracker, sports see and also significant wellness device at will, making it a severe group pleaser.Apple's latest Enjoy enhancement provides us the most dramatic layout adjustment given that the initial, bringing brand-new 40mm and 44mm sizes (in comparison to 38mm and 42mm). Truthfully, I do not mind that at all, smartwatches are all concerning being simple in my viewpoint, and the S928 Sports Watch does a wonderful task at that.Where it lacks a screen, the S928 Sports Watch makes up by providing some of the ideal functions that you can want in a smartwatch. In order to make points much easier for the reader, I am listing down the attributes below.Heart Rate Display: The watch comes with a heart rate screen that is able to supply real time heart rate updates.GPS: The S928 Sports Watch likewise come with a developed in 3D accelerometer +gyroscope3D, allowing the users to be able to track every step they make throughout their workout regime.Outdoor Information: The watch is also capable of keeping a record of the outside information, implying that you get real time updates on exactly how the climate condition is outdoors.

Love Letter - Kanai Factory
CARD GAME OF DEDUCTION
All of the eligible young men (and many of the not-so-young) seek to woo the princess of Tempest. Unfortunately, she has locked herself in the palace, and you must rely on others to take your romantic letters to her. Will yours reach her first?
Love Letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2–4 players. Your goal is to get your love letter into Princess Annettes hands while deflecting the letters from competing suitors. From a deck with only sixteen cards, each player starts with only one card in hand; one card is removed from play. On a turn, you draw one card, and play one card, trying to expose others and knock them from the game. Powerful cards lead to early gains, but make you a target. Rely on weaker cards for too long, however, and your letter may be tossed in the fire!
ATTACK VERSUS DEFENSE
Stronghold is a 2-4 player game telling the story of a siege. Players take opposite sides, one has to defend the stronghold, the other has to break into the castle as soon as possible. As time passes, defenders get Victory Points every turn for their efforts on the walls.
The game board represents the stronghold itself as well as the surrounding terrain, where enemy forces are placed and from where they proceed to the walls.
The defender has a small amount of soldiers manning the walls, while the invader has an infinite legion of them! A desperate fight is taking place every single turn. The invaders build war machines, equip their soldiers, train them and use black magic rituals to achieve victory. Meanwhile, defenders repair walls, build cannons, train soldiers and do everything they can to hold the castle as long as possible.
BUILD PATH TO VICTORY
The abstract strategy game Quoridor is surprisingly deep for its simple rules. The object of the game is to advance your pawn to the opposite edge of the board. On your turn you may either move your pawn or place a wall. You may hinder your opponent with wall placement, but not completely block him off. Meanwhile, he is trying to do the same to you. The first pawn to reach the opposite side wins.
WORKER PLACEMENT GAME WITH LUCK
The Stone Age times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs and backs straining against wooden plows in the stony earth. Of course, progress did not stop with the wooden plow. People always searched for better tools and more productive plants to make their work more effective.
In Stone Age, the players live in this time, just as our ancestors did. They collect wood, break stone and wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village and so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck and planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time.
Players use up to ten tribe members each in three phases. In the first phase, players place their men in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, the starting player activates each of his staffed areas in whatever sequence he chooses, followed in turn by the other players. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points.
AREA CONTROL WITH UNIQUE CHARACTERS
Europe, 1347. A disaster is about to strike. The Black Death reaches Europe, and during the next 4-5 years, the population of Europe will be halved.
The players settle in the various regions of Europe, while the plague spreads throughout all of the continent. The players gain help from the various classes of the middle ages: the Peasants provide population growth, the wise Monks keep the rats away, the rich Merchants flee when the plague approaches, the warfare conducted by the Knights spreads the plague to new areas, the Witches control the spread through magic and witchcraft, whereas the Kings avoid the plague by staying in their fortified palaces. But the plague does not make any distinction: when the rats arrive, no one can feel safe.
When the plague withdraws and the game ends, the player with the highest surviving population wins.
Rattus is a medium-strategy game that takes place in the Dark Ages during the black plague. The players try to hold off the disease.
To do this they get help from farmers, magicians, knights, nobles, ... But nothing helps as long as the rats keep coming.
AWARD WINNING WORLD DISEASE CONTROLLING COOP GAME
In Pandemic, several virulent diseases have broken out simultaneously all over the world! The players are disease-fighting specialists whose mission is to treat disease hotspots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand.
The game board depicts several major population centers on Earth. On each turn, a player can use up to four actions to travel between cities, treat infected populaces, discover a cure, or build a research station. A deck of cards provides the players with these abilities, but sprinkled throughout this deck are Epidemic! cards that accelerate and intensify the diseases activity. A second, separate deck of cards controls the normal spread of the infections.
Taking a unique role within the team, players must plan their strategy to mesh with their specialists strengths in order to conquer the diseases. For example, the Operations Expert can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases and which allow for greater mobility between cities; the Scientist needs only four cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal five—but the diseases are spreading quickly and time is running out. If one or more diseases spreads beyond recovery or if too much time elapses, the players all lose. If they cure the four diseases, they all win!
The 2013 edition of Pandemic includes two new characters—the Contingency Planner and the Quarantine Specialist—not available in earlier editions of the game
CUSTOM BUILD WITH CONSTRAINT MOVES
In Kingdom Builder, the players create their own kingdoms by skillfully building their settlements, aiming to earn the most gold at the end of the game.
Nine different kinds of terrain are on the variable game board, including locations and castles. During his turn, a player plays his terrain card and builds three settlements on three hexes of this kind. If possible, a new settlement must be built next to one of that player’s existing settlements. When building next to a location, the player may seize an extra action tile that he may use from his next turn on. These extra actions allow extraordinary actions such as moving your settlements.
By building next to a castle, the player will earn gold at the end of the game, but the most gold will be earned by meeting the conditions of the three Kingdom Builder cards; these three cards (from a total of ten in the game) specify the conditions that must be met in order to earn the much-desired gold, such as earning gold for your settlements built next to water hexes or having the majority of settlements in a sector of the board.
Each game, players will use a random set of Kingdom Builder cards (3 of 10), special actions (4 of 8), and terrain sectors to build the map (4 of 8), ensuring you wont play the same game twice!
Tzolkin: The Mayan Calendar
(10) When you can predict what you can do in a few rounds later, ... it feels satisfied.
EVER CHANGING WORKER PLACEMENT BOARD
Tzolkin: The Mayan Calendar presents a new game mechanism: dynamic worker placement. Players representing different Mayan tribes place their workers on giant connected gears, and as the gears rotate they take the workers to different action spots.
During a turn, players can either (a) place one or more workers on the lowest visible spot of the gears or (b) pick up one or more workers. When placing workers, they must pay corn, which is used as a currency in the game. When they pick up a worker, they perform certain actions depending on the position of the worker. Actions located later on the gears are more valuable, so its wise to let the time work for you – but players cannot skip their turn; if they have all their workers on the gears, they have to pick some up.
The game ends after one full revolution of the central Tzolkin gear. There are many paths to victory. Pleasing the gods by placing crystal skulls in deep caves or building many temples are just two of those many paths...
MULTI-STORY COOP ADVENTURE GAME
Legends of Andor is a cooperative adventure board game for two to four players in which a band of heroes must work together to defend a fantasy realm from invading hordes. To secure Andors borders, the heroes will embark on dangerous quests over the course of five unique scenarios (as well as a final scenario created by the players themselves). But as the clever game system keeps monsters on the march toward the castle, the players must balance their priorities carefully.
At the heart of Legends of Andor is its unique narrative, the linked scenarios of which tell an overarching story as the players successfully complete objectives.

A GAME OF INTRIGUE AND DECEPTION
As the head of an ambitious Venetian family in Intrigo (a.k.a. Masques) – which won the 2009 Concours de créateurs under the title St Benoît – you have sent your most influential representatives to mingle at the Doges masquerade ball. By cleverly positioning these guests (and by manipulating the guests of your opponents), youll vie for the attention of Venices elite guild masters, ensuring the most political power for your family.
Gameplay revolves chiefly around the clever use of guest cards with varying levels of influence. Each player receives a hand of guest cards, and each guest card has an influence value and its own power, e.g., the peddler, the assasin and the gondolier. The higher the influence, the greater that guests clout at court. Each players hand consists of a mix of cards representing members of any of the families currently in play. Use a rival familys guest cards against them, and watch for chances to set up your own house for success.
Each of the rooms of the Doges palace offer tokens representing a guilds favor or valuable ducats to be won by ambitious nobles. The spaces between each card that represents a room in the palace are the hallways of the Doges estate – the areas in which guest cards are placed to compete for adjacent resources.
Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends
ABSTRACT PATTERN BATTLE
Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends is a game played by masters of magic. Two to four summoners encounter each other in the Tash-Kalar arena, either in teams or each on his own, and prove their skill and strategy in a short but intense battle. By clever deployment of their minions, they create magic patterns for summoning powerful beings, and then use those to destroy their opponent’s forces or to prepare patterns for the ultimate legendary beings.
The game includes three different factions, each with a unique deck of beings to summon and one deck of legendary creatures. Players take turns placing their common pieces on the board, and if they succeed in creating patterns depicted on one of the cards in hand, they may play it. When played, the card summons a particular being and allows the player to perform an effect described on the card: a giant destroys neighboring pieces, a knight moves through enemy pieces, a warlord orders previously placed pieces to move and fight, an enchantress converts enemy pieces to players own color, etc. After that, the player discards the card and the summoned being turns into a motionless piece which may be used in patterns for summoning other beings – or even be awakened and moved into combat by the effects of other cards.
Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends offers two game modes. In the standard mode you score points for fulfilling various quests set by the Arena Masters: controlling certain points or areas of the arena, destroying a number of enemy pieces in a single turn, performing a certain combination of summonings, etc.
In melee mode, your only goal is to entertain the crowd. You do that by destroying your opponents and making them beg (i.e., making them use the catch-up mechanisms) and by summoning legendary beings. After all, people want to see a dragon! Both modes can be played as a two-player duel or as a team game with teammates sharing pieces and legendary cards, but with each controlling his own faction. (The game includes a duplicate of one faction in a different color.) The melee mode can also be played as a fierce free-for-all battle, but dont expect alliances; to achieve a good score, you need to destroy all opponents evenly as you track points scored on each opponent separately, and your lowest score is your final score.
The rules of Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends are simple and easy to understand, but as you start to discover the tactics and are able to anticipate the opponents moves and patterns, it turns into a real clash of wits.
INFILTRATION WITH CARD ABILITIES
In the game of Rasputin, players take the roles of assassins tasked with infiltrating the Winter Palace and killing historys most unkillable man - Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin. While all players share the same target, this is not a cooperative game and your opponents will prove to be an even greater threat than Rasputin’s personal guards.
Each player starts with a matching deck of fifty cards from which he must chose the twenty-five cards he will use in the game. Your cards determine which abilities you have available to you at any given moment, as well as your strength in individual combat against Rasputin and other players. Success in the game relies on your ability to balance the cards in your hand versus the board positions of yourself, your opponents, the guards and Rasputin.
CARDS FIGHTING IN A BOARD
Summoner Wars is a fast-playing, action-packed 2-4 player card game. Players take on the role of Summoners: powerful beings who harness the power of mysterious Summoning Stones to lead their race to conquest on the war-torn planet of Itharia. These Summoners wield terrible magic on the battlefield, freezing their foes in place, draining their enemies of power, and even bringing rains of fire down from the heavens. But most notoriously, they summon their great race’s hordes of warriors to the battlefield, to clash in the never-ending struggle for supremacy. A Summoner is both mage and general, and must combine their wizardly might with clever tactics to defeat the enemy Summoner on the opposite side of the battle.
Each Starter Set of Summoner Wars contains 2 complete, battle-ready Factions, ready to jump you and an opponent into the thick of the War for Itharia. Each Faction is a unique race or civilization with its own secret goals, be it wild-eyed Elves bent on revenge, or blood-crazed Goblins who merely want to set the world ablaze. Starter Sets also include everything you will need to play, including a Battle Mat, Wound counters, dice, and a rulebook.
But the war doesn’t end there! Summoner Wars is fully expandable with entirely new faction decks such as the hideous Undead of the Fallen Kingdom, or the righteous and knightly Human Vanguards. In addition, each Faction will have its own expansions, adding new warriors, summoners, and abilities to allow for a never-ending mix of combat options and surprises. Expansions will also include Mercenary units - warriors who care nothing for politics and will fight for any side that can afford them!
Skippity
JUMP TO CAPTURE, STACK TO WIN
If Susan McKinley Ross Qwirkle can be described as a simplified Scrabble – with colors and shapes replacing letters – then her 2010 release from MindWare – Skippity – might be dubbed checkers for the Timothy Leary set.
On a blazingly colored 10x10 game board, players randomly lay out one hundred tokens in five colors, then remove the tokens from the four central squares. On a turn, a player takes a single token and jumps orthogonally over an adjacent token to an empty space, capturing the token jumped. Multiple jumps are possible, with the player capturing each token jumped.
The game ends when no more jumps are possible. Players then compare their stacks of tokens, with each set of five differently-colored tokens counting as a set. The player with the most sets wins, with the tiebreaker being the number of tokens captured but not in sets.
Serenissima Second Edition
(8) Too bad this game can only played up to 4 players, otherwise there is big potential.
TRANSPORT RESOURCES WHILE BATTLING IN THE SEA
Serenissima is the new Ystari edition of the 1996 game (Méditerranée in France). The rules have been updated and the game is more fluid.
In Serenissima players represent a merchant family during the Renaissance. Players attempt to balance the need of trading and open commerce versus the cut-throat economic piracy of the day. Players create a fleet of ships to purchase and move various commodities around the Mediterranean while also keeping well manned ships to attack and defend against other players fleets.
Kings of Artifice
ABSTRACT WAR GAME
Kings of Artifice is a strategy board game for 2 to 4 players. The game is played in a series of building rounds, followed by one final crowning round. Victory Points (VP) are awarded for building structures during the game as well as at the end. In each game, two special scoring cards are drawn from a deck that allow players to gain bonus points by meeting certain conditions.
In the building rounds, the players summon their specialized characters onto the game board and employ them (using Action Points) to construct valuable structures such as Walls, Houses, Battlements, Towers, Palaces, Fountains, and Pastures. These are built from their supplies of colored building blocks. In addition to expanding their own kingdoms, the players can use their forces to hinder the progress of their rivals.
In the crowning round, the players display their completed kingdoms and flaunt their power over the realm. The player with the most Victory Points at the end of the game is the winner!
Skyline 3000
Players represent corporations competing to assemble city buildings in their orbiting plants and install them onto specially-prepared platforms in the city districts. Each player wants to construct the most living space in the blocks that feature the most desirable improvements (Greenspaces, Spaceports, and Megamalls). Players can also erect Billboards at a loss, to entice customers and to reserve space for future construction. At the end of four rounds of play, the player who has earned the most points is the most successful developer and the winner of the game!
A SIMPLE GAME OF CHANCES
Love Letter - Legend of the Five Rings
LIGHT LUCK AND DEDUCTION
MOVE, EXPLORE, OCCUPY TEMPLES
Tikal is a game of exploration within the Central American jungles in search of lost temples and the treasures within. Players send their team of explorers into the jungle, exposing more and more of the terrain. Along the way, you find temples that require further uncovering and treasures. Players attempt to score points for occupying temples and holding onto treasure.
SPEED SOLVE PUZZLES TO WIN
The board of this game consists of six rows. On each row, twelve gems (of several colors) are arranged. Each player places his pawn in front of one of those rows.
Each player receives a playing card on which a shape consisting of several squares is depicted. Each player also gets 12 tiles consisting of 2, 3, 4, or 5 squares in some shape. By means of a dice roll, each player is assigned three or four tiles that he has to use to fill the shape on his card.
The players try to solve their own puzzle. The race is timed by a sand glass. The outcome of this race determines the play on the main playing board.
The player who was the first to solve his puzzle in time gets to move his pawn up to three rows, the player who came second may move two rows, and the player in third may move a single row. The players may collect two gems from the front of the row their pawn is on, so the more rows you can move, the more control you have on what color gems you can collect.
After collecting gems, each player receives a new playing card with a new puzzle to solve, and a new round starts. In total, nine rounds are played.
In the end, the player who has collected the most gems in a single color wins the game.
PREPARE FOR FINAL BATTLE
The end of days is close. Darkness and light will clash.
All Gods know what this means for them. Blood ties will no longer be respected, brother will fight against brother, and no man will spare another. Odin, Freyja, Týr, Loki, Hel, Thor, and Baldr forge their plans and promise great rewards to the ones who will help them prevail. Eventually Fenrir, Mímir, and Surtr will join the battle.
Ask for help at the right time, and the gods will grant you their powers. Will you ask Freyja to recruit the fallen warriors of Valhalla, or will you use the cunning of Loki and Hel to make an opponents armies die or switch sides at a critical moment? Will you ask Týr to help win a decisive battle, or will you consult Mímirs wisdom in order to gain a tactical advantage?
In Asgard, you want to support the gods by erecting temples and by convincing brave warriors and mighty giants to side with them. You can influence which god will fight which during the final battle — Ragnarök — the outcome of which will depend on how well you strengthened their armies.
Beware, only a few of them will come out victorious. Will you side with the right ones? As a mortal, your place in the new world depends on it.

Aztlan
AREA DOMINATION OR COEXIST
In the mythical land of Aztlán, four tribes strive to survive and prosper under the scrutiny of the gods themselves. Peaceful coexistence brings wealth and prosperity to all, but the fearsome Aztec gods favor those who are mighty in war and bring to them their subdued enemies as cruel offerings...
Only one of the four tribes will be granted the right to stay in this blessed land when the Time of Exile comes at the end of the Fifth Age of the Sun. Guide your tribe to build the mightiest empire through the Five Ages, win the favor of the gods, and become the greatest ruler in the land of Aztlàn.
Aztlán can be played by three or four players (or two players with the Aztec Gods variant). In a multi-player game, each player guides one of the four tribes. A game is divided into five stages, called ages; at the beginning of each age, each player secretly chooses one of his power cards, and then one at a time places a certain number of his tribe pawns in one of the territories on the game board, which is divided into five different types of territory: deserts, terraced fields, jungles, mountainsvolcanoes, and cities. The power card chosen for the age indicates the strength of that players tribe and identifies one type of territory (of the five different types). The greater the domains of that player, and the greater the number of territories of that type included within them, the higher the victory point score.
If a territory is disputed by several players, the strongest tribe may defeat the weaker ones – but war is not the only path to victory and peaceful coexistence with the other tribes sometimes brings greater rewards. At the end of the fifth age, the player who scores the most victory points wins. His tribe rules Aztlán, while the time of Exile befalls his opponents!
Merchants of the Middle Ages
TRADE TO VICTORY
A Medieval game of trade and commerce, Die Händler is set in Europe, where trade wagons carry wares between six cities on the board. Essentially, players buy goods, load them onto wagons and send them for maximum profit in other cities.
The whole game looks very inviting. The medieval cities depicted on the board, together with the player crests, cardboard coins, money pouches, sticker decorated wagons and wooden commodity pieces, immediately creates the right atmosphere for the players.
There are six cities - Paris, Cologne, Brugge, Gent, Vienna and Genoa - which are interconnected by roads. Three wagons carry goods from one city to another. No-one owns the wagons or controls any of them single-handedly, and in principle a player can put commodities on any transport. There are six different commodities - salt, iron, wine, silk, cloth and food - all of limited supply.
The goal of the game is to make money by delivering goods to the towns, and use the money to buy increases in status. The game ends after a certain number of deliveries have been made and the winner is the player with the highest level of status.
CARD GAME WITH A FIGHTING BOARD
The year is 3012. Its been a millennium since the Armageddon. Deep in the Yucatan jungle, humanity has mutated, degenerated, and segregated into five clans: Jaguar, Snake, Monkey, Gar, and Bat. These clans now battle it out for dominance in the region, cooperating when it suits them and actively working against each other when the opportunity arises.
In 3012, players start the game with small decks of Scout cards, which provide gold to make purchases. Two piles of cards – an Ally deck and a Weapon deck – provide static cards to buy, with three cards from each deck always available to purchase each round. Cards that are not bought remain there for other players to buy. Two non-static Action decks – one with cheap cards, the other expensive – are also available, and at the start of your turn, you reveal one card from each of these two Action decks. You get the benefits of the Action cards you reveal, whether you buy them or not, and theyre removed from play if you dont buy them.
When you have amassed enough combat skill through Allies, Weapons, and Action cards, you can attempt to prove your worth by facing a beast in four decks of Encounter cards, ranging from easy to very difficult.
Unlike most deck-building games, there are many points of interaction in 3012, so players are never out of the action! And you always get to refill your hand to its maximum size at the start of your turn, so you are never penalized for interacting during other players turns.
The game ends when one of the Heroes reaches Level 5. The player with the most victory points wins the game.
GOSU 2: Tactics
A HYBRID OF MAGIC AND RACE FOR GALAXY
GOSU 2: Tactics plays like a hybrid of Race for the Galaxy and Magic: The Gathering with each player trying to recruit an army of goblins made up of soldiers, heroes, magicians, and other classes – then swing it into action against the other players. Five clans of goblins are represented on the game cards, with goblins in one of three ranks. To build an army, a player must first recruit level I goblins, then build on those goblins with level II and finally level III. Those higher level goblins can be played only if a lower level goblin is of the same clan, and since goblins of the same clan have similar abilities or powers that mesh well, players tend to specialize in who they recruit to their ranks.
Each turn, a player can play a new goblin, use a goblins power, draw cards, or pass. Many goblins have special powers that come into play when theyre recruited, attacked, removed from play, placed with other goblins, and so on.
Once all players have passed, the player with the most powerful army wins the battle. Players keep cards in hand from one battle to the next, so laying out all your forces at once can leave you with little to do but get hit in later battles. The first player to win three battles wins the game.
SIMPLE WORKER PLACEMENT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GAME
The settlement of the country is the work of the players in their role as noble builders in Milestones!
In this game, players work together to build roads, create marketplaces, and erect houses. With each milestone set along the way, they move further into the country.
But while they build together, when it comes to procuring construction materials, money, and grain each player is on his own. Thus, you must carefully develop your own network of goods, trade and colonization materials and optimize its use cleverly. Whoever also develops a keen sense of timing can grab the most valuable building sites and in the end win out.
EPIGO
ABSTRACT STRATEGY BY OUTGUESSING YOUR OPPONENTS
Epigo is a new two or four player strategy game that should feel both fresh and familiar. Epigos simultaneous action selection makes every round of the game exciting, even though Epigo features relatively simple rules and mechanics. Epigo is also modular - the boxed game includes rules for 21 variants, with more variants available on our website. Variants modify one or more of the core rules, providing unique challenges and adding countless hours of replayability.
AREA CONTROL SCORING GAME WITH SIMPLE MECHANICS
In Terra Nova, players try to claim areas of land by moving control markers and placing fences. Each turn, a player must take three actions, first moving a control marker, then taking two further actions from these possibilities:
moving a control marker (whether the same one or a different one) andor
placing a fence next to a control marker that moved this turn.
Areas are scored once theyre enclosed and contain no more than three types of landscape. Whoever has the majority of pieces in an area scores points based on the number of spaces and the number of types of landscape in the area, with fewer types scoring more points. Points are split in case of a tie. The game ends once all areas have been scored.
Demigods Rising
PRETTY MINIATURES IN A BATTLE FOR GLORY
Demigods Rising is a skirmish-style board game for 2 or 4 players in which they take the roles of demigods, commanding armies of heroes to prove supremacy over others and ascend as the new God of War. As a demigod, a player initially has access to 16 heroes from which he can choose his army. With his choice he then faces his opponent(s) on sacred battleground.
There are different game modes regarding picking heroes (chieftain, random, mirror, free pick mode), and regarding conditions on which victory is achieved (skirmish, tactics). It is the game that relies heavy on tactics, that is fairly simple to learn but hard to master and that has a great replayability.
In time of Chaos, the God of War was supreme ruler over all other gods. But Time of Peace came, and lasted so long that God of War started to lose his power. He grew weaker as the years went by and was pushed to the side by other gods. When his power faded so much that he felt that the end was near he gave the task to his four sons, the demigods, to try to prove themselves as best commanders in the field of battle. The one who can emerge victorious should become the new God of War and bring back the former glory to their name.
Gather your heroes, challenge your friends, become the God of War!
Splendor is a fast-paced and addictive game of chip-collecting and card development. Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops — all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If youre wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.
On your turn, you may (1) collect chips (gems), or (2) buy and build a card, or (3) reserve one card. If you collect chips, you take either three different kinds of chips or two chips of the same kind. If you buy a card, you pay its price in chips and add it to your playing area. To reserve a card — in order to make sure you get it, or, why not, your opponents dont get it — you place it in front of you face down for later building; this costs you a round, but you also get gold in the form of a joker chip, which you can use as any gem.
All of the cards you buy increase your wealth as they give you a permanent gem bonus for later buys; some of the cards also give you prestige points. In order to win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents do.
Koryo
WIN WITH THE LARGEST COMBINED SETS
Koryŏ is a game based on an uchronian and politico-steampunk universe.
Each turn, players simultaneously choose a family of politician from their hand, and play as many cards of this family as they have and wish to. Each family has a value ranging from 1 to 9, which indicates both the number of cards in the family and the number of victory points the player controlling this family will score at the end of the game.
A game lasts exactly eight turns, and on each turn a family grants its specific power to the player controlling it. Thus, efficient handling of these powers is the key to success! While their influence increases turn by turn due to the number of authorized cards in their council, the number of cards drawn each turn dwindles, making choices all the more difficult.
oddville
CITY BUILDING WITH CARDS AND WORKER PLACEMENT
OddVille is a card-based city-building game in which all actions are carried out by playing one of your four Worker cards. Each Worker card has a different power and can be used in different ways: to get a project, to obtain resources, or to collect coins. During your turn, you can either play a card or add a building to the city. Connect it to adjacent buildings with roads and you will gain their bonus.
The city grows with each players contribution, ever changing the values of players buildings. As soon as a player builds his sixth building, the game ends and the player with the most points wins.
DICE ARMY BATTLE
Helvetia: a country in evolution, divided between the surrounding Empires who claimed taxes and allegiance. Primitiva was the first to wake up and decide to fight to obtain independence. The other regions followed their example: Luserna, Zugriga, Berena, Friburga, etc. However, between year 1 of unification and the day of the nation, several centuries went by with alternating periods of war and diplomatic peace, troubled and bloody times which you will discover in Unita!
Unita features 64 dice but not an iota of luck! You can be the men of Primitiva, the Nuns of Friburga, the Engineers of GermanLand or the Frogs of the Hexagone, but no matter your role, forge ahead on the warpath, lead your army in the mad rush to get to the Magic Gate, and put an end to all these afflictions. Move forward on the path of the war with your army compound of six-sided dice. Every time you contact an opposing army, a fight takes place, with the least hardy losing a point of strength. When your army reaches the magic gate, the army disappears, and the total of its points of strength (its dice) becomes your points of victory.
before the wind
AUCTION TO GET THE MOST MONEY
In the harbor a fleet of commerce ships is waiting to be loaded with goods. Each vessel needs a certain combination of goods. The players take the roles of traders, trying to fill their warehouses with goods which are then in turn transferred to the ships in the harbor. They have to pay attention to the right combination of goods because the captains only accept the goods from a single trader and expect a complete delivery before their ships leave the harbor. It is also very important to not let the right moment to transfer goods to the vessels pass, because the fleet will leave the harbor when the storage space is full and the winds are helpful. The players always have to be before the wind to actively influence the events.
BUY SHIP AND SEND TO EXPEDITIONS TO SCORE
In Age of Discovery the players supply famous expeditions of well-known explorers like Columbus and Magellan with their ships. They have to purchase these ships and cleverly direct them to the most successful expeditions. Of course, they need a lot of money for this! The players receive income by accepting trade assignments with their ships. In the end, the player who received the most victory points by assigning ships to expeditions and fulfilling his special contract wins the game.
From the publisher (Phalanx Games B.V.):
During the 15th and 16th centuries, the great royal houses of Europe sent explorers and conquerors all over the world, hoping to discover and secure new areas of influence and sources of wealth. Without the right naval vessels, these voyages would have been impossible. But even the incredible wealth of the royal houses could not sustain these expeditions for long. So they were happy that private entrepreneurs were ready to finance these expensive journeys. Now your king has come to offer you the opportunity to invest in the great voyages of famous explorers like Columbus and Magellan. You will need to purchase a fleet of ships, and assign them to the most successful expeditions. Of course, you will need a lot of money! To earn money, you must fulfill trade contracts. Can you balance the needs of trade with the demands of the great explorers? It is time to seek wealth and glory in the Age of Discovery!
Island Fortress
BUILDING THE GREATEST FORTRESS
In Island Fortress, you play a master builder chosen by Governor Cortland Hansen to help construct the mighty Fort Aldenford using the penal colony on Alcott Island. Your goal is to become the most distinguished architect with the help of your Taskmaster, Workers, and the Governor himself!
In the game, all players use identical decks of five Role Cards to plot their actions such as purchasing workers, building the wall, collecting money from the treasury, and more. In addition to scoring points for having built the majority of blocks on each row of the fortress wall, players can also gain various bonuses for completing favors for the Governor by building the walls in specific ways, following the Governors preferred patterns.
Island Fortress, formerly known as Huang Di and sporting a Great Wall of China theme, won the first ever ProtoSlam competition held by Cambridge Games Factory in August 2006 and is the first published game by designer Bryan Johnson.
Command a Greek citys hoplite soldiers. Push and rout enemy lines. Coordinate allied attacks to secure victory, but watch your flanks!
Nika, inspired by ancient Greek geography & warfare, is based around two core mechanisms: facing and formations. Pieces can be routed off the board if attacked from the side or back, but not from the front. A routed piece can rally back onto the board at the cost of an action. Your pieces can move or rotate together in a phalanx if they are adjacent and facing the same way, and you can push back enemies facing you if your phalanx is deeper than theirs.
There are four cities: Athens (white) and Messene (blue) are allied against Sparta (red) and Thebes (black). Allies start across the board from each other, and you win by getting a piece into your victory area in the heart of your allys territory. Each two-city alliance can be played either solo or with a partner, so the game can support two, three, or four players.
MAKE THE BEST SWORDS AND DELIVER THEM TO THE KING
In Toledo players try to forge magnificent swords and bring them into the fortress of the city, the “Alcazar”.
Each player can send his five helpers on the map and on to the roads of Toledo, in order to acquire steel and jewels from dealers. Thus they get swords manufactured at the most famous armorer in the city. Afterwards those swords are to be delivered to Alcazar.
In addition there are two taverns (at which one “refuels” cards) as well as a place where the works of art of the resident painter, El Greco, are available.
There is a lot to discover in Toledo.
FARM TO COLLECT RESOURCES, THEN USE THEM TO BUILD SETTLEMENTS
In New Haven, set in colonial New England, players must develop the riches of the land and build a thriving settlement. Players place tiles strategically to a shared game board to cut timber, quarry stone, plant fields of wheat, and fill pastures with fat sheep. Players then use these resources to erect buildings on their own village boards, attempting to complete rows and columns for population points. Whoever can build the biggest and most prosperous town will end up with the biggest population and win the game!
New Haven is a tile-laying game with a drafting component. The center board is the land between the player villages from which resources will be gathered. Players select from their two hidden tiles and play on this board to generate available value in some of the four resources. Once per game, each player can get a shipment which delivers a large value of one specific resource type.
This value is then used by the player to play building tokens on his personal village board. However, he can play only building tokens already owned behind his player screen, with restrictions on how buildings must be arranged. He can elect to play a token face down for more flexibility, but this means a lower score if he successfully completes that row or column of buildings.
Once a player is done building, any value he hasnt used is available for his opponents to use to build! Thus, the goal when placing resource tiles is to generate just enough for what is needed, not the most that can possibly be created. Finally, the player drafts new building tokens for use on future turns; plan your creation and consumption of resources to perfectly match your needs, and youll be rewarded with additional tokens.
The base game lasts ten turns, and the player who attracts the most colonists to his village by completing roads and avenues of buildings wins the game.
RETURN IN TIME TO CHANGE FATE
Tragedy Looper is a scenario-based deduction game for two to four players: one mastermind and one to three protagonists. The game consists of four location boards and a number of character cards. Each scenario features a number of characters, hidden roles for these characters (serial killer, conspiracy theorist, friend), and some pre-set tragedies (murder, suicide).
Each day (turn), players and the mastermind play three face-down cards onto the characters, then reveal them to move the characters around or affect their paranoia or goodwill stats. At the end of each day (turn), if the scenario has a tragedy set for that day, it happens if the conditions are met, i.e., certain characters have certain stats or are in a certain location together (or not together) with others. As tragedies happen, players loop back in time, restarting the scenario from the beginning and trying to deduce who the culprit was and why the tragedy occurred.
The players win if they manage to maintain status quo — that is, if no tragedies occur to the key individuals — for a set number of days, within a set number of loops. If not, the mastermind wins.
Coal Baron
DELIVER COAL AND FILL CONTRACTS
Coal Baron – or Glück Auf in German, after a greeting German miners use when wishing one another luck – has players sending meeple miners underground to dig tunnels and acquire coal, which comes in four levels of quality and which is used to fulfill contracts.
The game lasts three rounds, and in each round players take turns placing their workers on action spaces; you can go on a space occupied by another player, but you need to place additional workers in order to do so. Each player has an individual elevator shaft, and hell need to use workers to extract coal and bring it to the surface, while also competing for contracts and scrounging for cash in order to do everything else that needs to be done!
INSTANT STRATEGY FOR BEST SCORING
Crossing into the Land of 1001 Nights, your caravan arrives at the fabled Sultanate of Naqala. The old sultan just died and control of Naqala is up for grabs! The oracles foretold of strangers who would maneuver the Five Tribes to gain influence over the legendary city-state. Will you fulfill the prophecy? Invoke the old Djinns and move the Tribes into position at the right time, and the Sultanate may become yours!
Designed by Bruno Cathala, Five Tribes builds on a long tradition of German-style games that feature wooden meeples. Here, in a unique twist on the now-standard worker placement genre, the game begins with the meeples already in place – and players must cleverly maneuver them over the villages, markets, oases, and sacred places tiles that make up Naqala. How, when, and where you dis-place these Five Tribes of Assassins, Elders, Builders, Merchants, and Viziers determine your victory or failure.
As befitting a Days of Wonder game, the rules are straightforward and easy to learn. But devising a winning strategy will take a more calculated approach than our standard fare. You need to carefully consider what moves can score you well and put your opponents at a disadvantage. You need to weigh many different pathways to victory, including the summoning of powerful Djinns that may help your cause as you attempt to control this legendary Sultanate.
HUMAN EVOLUTION ABSTRACT SCORING GAME
Starting from the heart of Africa, players in Origin will determine the course of mankinds expansion on our planet, with the tribes gradually growing more diversified over time while still maintaining links to their ancestors and to all inhabitants of Earth.
The game tokens in Origin come in three colors, three heights, and three thicknesses, and at the start of the game one of the smallest, skinniest pieces is placed in the center of Africa. In addition, you place three technology tiles at random on the tan, orange and violet sections of the tech chart and six random tiles on the brown section; the tech tiles show 1-5 arrows. You also shuffle tan, orange and violet decks of cards and place them in the appropriate places. Tan cards provide an one-shot effect, orange cards give you a permanent power, and violet cards present you with an objective you must meet; if you do so, you can play the objective card on your turn, and immediately draw another. You can play at most one card of each color each turn.
On a turn, a player takes one of three actions:
Place a new piece on a region of the game board, with this piece sharing two of the three characteristics of a piece in a neighboring region; the new piece cannot be shorter than the original piece. Mark this piece with a token of your player color.
Move one of your pieces on the board to an empty region, with short pieces moving only one space, medium height pieces moving up to two spaces, and tall pieces up to three.
Take over a region controlled by an opponent by moving one of your pieces into this region and relocating the opponents piece to the region your piece left. You can do this only if the attacking piece is thicker than the opponents piece.
When you place a new piece on the board or move an existing piece, youre rewarded based on the color of the space you occupy. If you place in or move into a tan, orange or violet region, either you take a tile and the top card of this color or you draw three cards of this color and keep one of them. For a brown region, you either draw two tiles from the brown section of the tech board or draw one tile from anywhere. The technology tiles must be acquired from low to high – so you cant acquire a 4 unless you have a 3 – but you can have multiple tech stacks. You must meet a certain technology threshold in order to play the orange cards and acquire their special power.
In addition, you can score points during the game by occupying a grassland on a continent or the two regions on opposite sides of a waterway strait.
Players take turns until either all of the pieces are on the game board or all the tiles have been acquired or all the cards of one color have been drawn. Once this happens, players tally their points for objectives, grasslands, straits, tech tiles, and cards still in hand to see who wins!
MOVE THE SUN, SHINE THE LAND AND TEMPLES TO VICTORY
In Helios, players are high priests in a distant world of the sun god AHAU, and the power of the sun drives everything in the game as players try to build temples, expand cities, and make their civilization flourish.
Development can succeed, though, only if youve secured a supply of the limited raw materials available, and the more that youve built of your temple, the more expensive the remaining parts will be. Glass manastones are the games currency, and with them you can acquire people, increase the number of points youll score, and more.

Yspahan
DICE ROLLING DECISION BASED AREA MAJORITY GAME
1598. Yspahan the fair becomes the capital of the Persian empire. Thus, being placed at the center of the world, the city enjoys a period of cultural and economic blossoming. The cities and villages of the region intend to take advantage of this expansion. Caravans loaded with goods and jewels set out for the desert, bearing the promises of a radiant future....
The players embody merchants trading with Yspahan. Meaning to take advantage of the coming of the Shah’s supervisor, they score points by placing their merchandise in the right shops, by sending them to the caravan, and by constructing buildings.
In Yspahan, players draft their action for the turn in order, but a roll of the dice determines which actions are available and how powerful they will be. You can earn points in the short-term by claiming shops in the city or by sending your traders to the caravan. You can also improve your infrastructure by constructing buildings that improve your actions or picking up action cards that give you extra options. Every 7 turns (each week), points are scored in the city and caravan, and after 3 weeks, the wise traders will see who among them has profited the most...
CARDS AS WORKER, COMPETE FOR TALLEST TOWER
In Asara, you take on the role of a wealthy builder competing to bring the most prestige to your name through constructing the largest and most ornate towers in the city. The game is played over 4 rounds (years), during which you will be acquiring the pieces for your towers and assembling them.
Players are given a hand of cards with different colors. On their turn, players play a card from their hand to an action space on the board. These spaces allow players to acquire tower pieces, get money, build a portion of their towers, etc. Once a card has been played in one of the action spaces on the board, all subsequent cards played in that area have to follow the original card’s color. Turns continue around the table until all players are out of cards for that round.
Scoring happens at the end of each round based on the number of towers a player has and the ornamentation present on those towers. After the scoring at the end of round 4, a final scoring occurs and bonus prestige points are given to the players with the largest towers of each color, the most towers, and the largest tower overall. The player with the most prestige points is the winner.
Metropolys
ABSTRACT BIDDING AND OUT POSITION YOUR OPPONENTS
Talented Urban planners and architects rival each other to construct luxury, elegant buildings of glass and steel, defying the laws of balance. Who will eventually impose their style to leave an indelible trail in the history of the city? The answer is in your hands!
The players are urban planners in quest of prestige. Over the course of the game, players will try to construct their buildings in the best locations. As soon as a player has placed all of their buildings, the game ends. The player with the most prestige is the winner.
Each turn a player will pick a space on the board and place one of their buildings (bidding markers) into the space, with the bidding number shown. Each following player can then either pass or raise the bid by placing a higher numbered building into an adjacent space. The eventual winner of the bid flips his building number side down and all losing bids are returned to players. A new round commences.
Spaces on the board are differentiated by Metro spaces, which are worth points and reward the player with the most at game end; archaeological sites, which are worth minus points and penalize the player who most recently built on one; and fashionable locations, which are just worth extra points. In addition, each player has up to two hidden agendas that they are secretly trying to achieve, such as trying to surround water fountains or occupy both sides of bridges.
Six is a deceptively simple-looking abstract strategy game in which two (or four) players take turns placing their colored hexagonal tiles while trying to create one of the three winning shapes – triangle, hexagon or line – out of six of their tiles. If all tiles have been placed from players hands without someone winning, players then take turns picking up a previously placed tile and moving it to a new position.
With the advanced rules, players are allowed to move a tile that will separate all the tiles into two or more groups; by doing this, some pieces are removed from the game, and this provides an alternate way to win by reducing the opponent to five or fewer pieces (as the opponent cannot possibly form a winning shape).
The eggs are done!
The aim of Ovo is to get all of your eggs back home after theyve been flipped over in your opponents camp. On the way to that camp, the players symbols on each egg are visible –
but on the way back those symbols are hidden so that the eggs, which can be moved by any player, are no longer identifiable. Since nothing looks more like an egg than another egg, your challenge is to keep track of your eggs as they hop, skip and jump their way home!
Battle Sheep
FOUR PLAYERS DENSE ABSTRACT
In Battle Sheep (first released as Splits), players start the game by constructing the board from identical four-hex tiles, then each player places hisher tall stack of discs on one of the border hexes. Players take turns removing some number of discs from the top of one of their stacks, moving that new stack of discs as far away as it can go in a straight line. Players must leave at least one disc behind when moving, so the board gradually fills up and movement opportunities become more and more scarce. The player occupying the most spaces at the end of the game wins!
Princes of the Dragon Throne
DRAGONS, PRESTIGE, SHEEP, GOLD, AREA CONTROL
Princes of the Dragon Throne is an area control and resource management board game that uses deck building as a driver for the other game elements.

On each turn, a new number enters play, which helps you to narrow the possibilities and grow your own code. Common sense, intuition and your detective skills will guide you to success.
日與夜
PLAY WITH THE SUN AND MOON
In Sky Tango, you trace the cycles of the moon and the sun by creating series of cards that illustrate the passing of time. Eclipses can appear and ruin your paths, but dont let them discourage you for the sun and moon will always reappear. Will your solar and lunar cycles lead you to victory?
In game terms, the deck of cards consists of numbered sun and moon cards (some of which feature animals) as well as eclipse cards. Players place the cards in stacks in ascending order, either in front of themselves or in front of others. When a stack is five cards high, it can be removed and scored for points. Stacks can be interrupted by eclipse cards, which in turn can be covered by the appropriate sun or moon cards. Playing a card with an animal allows a player to play again, which is sometimes advantageous, but sometimes not. The player who removes the most cards from play wins!
SOLVE PUZZLES!!
In Enigma, players are exploring an ancient temple, solving different problems to make their way from room to room.
Problem solving is done simultaneously in four different categories — tangrams, block-stacking, canal-building and balance problems — and those who succeed expand the temple with the problem tile they solved, thus adding a new chain of rooms inside the temple or extending an existing chain of rooms. After placing a tile, a player can occupy a room on that tile with one of his three archeologists as long as no other room of the same color is already occupied in that chain. When the chain is closed — that is, when the chain has no loose ends that can be expanded upon — any archeologists in that chains room return to their players, and players score 1 point for each archeologist they receive. The game ends when somebody reaches 15 points, and the player who has the most points wins.
Set in ancient Rome, Trajan is a development game in which players try to increase their influence and power in various areas of Roman life such as political influence, trading, military dominion and other important parts of Roman culture.

KICKSTARTER TOP WORKER PLACEMENT GAME OF 2015
In an ancient world forgotten by time, enormous titans terrorize the land. Five tribes have been fleeing from the titans for centuries, but things are about to change. Growing city-states pledge to end the reign of terror, determined to take on the titans and make the world a safer place for all. Each city-state competes to attract the tribes, eager for the strength of the combined peoples, who are now leaving behind old traditions with the hope that the titans can be defeated once and for all.
In The Ancient World, players compete to grow the largest and most influential city-state by managing citizens, treasury, and military and by defeating titans. Players take turns sending citizens to take special actions or using military cards to attack titans. One of the actions a citizen can perform is to build Empire cards, which give more citizens, money, and abilities.
A city-states influence in the world is measured by sets of tribe banners that it owns. Each Empire card has one or more tribe banners, and tribe banners can also be gained by defeating titans. Players gain victory points (VPs) for sets of tribe banners. After six rounds, the player with the most VPs from sets of tribe banners wins.

Trickerion: Legends of Illusion
PERFORM THE BEST MAGIC SHOW
Trickerion is a competitive Euro-style strategy game set in a fictional world inspired by the late 19th century urban life and culture, spiced with a pinch of supernatural.
Players take on the roles of rival stage illusionists, each with their own strengths and characteristics. They are striving for fortune and fame in a competition hosted by a legendary magician, looking for a successor worthy of the mighty Trickerion Stone, which is fabled to grant supernatural power to its owner.
Using worker placement and simultaneous action selection mechanisms, the Illusionists and their teams of helpers — the Engineer, the Assistant, the Manager, and a handful of Apprentices – obtain blueprints and components for increasingly complex magic tricks, expand the team and set up performances by visiting the Downtown, Dark Alley, Market Row and Theater locations on the main game board depicting a late 19th century cityscape.
The tricks are stored and prepared on the Magicians own Workshop game board, while the performances themselves take place at the Theater in the form of a tile placement mini-game with lots of player interaction. The performances yield Fame points and Coins to their owners based on the tricks they consist of. Fame points have multiple uses, but they also serve as a win condition - After turn 7, when the last Performance card is revealed, the game ends and the illusionist with the most Fame points wins.
STACK UP YOUR CUPS TO WIN
Cappuccino features 64 beautiful plastic coffee cups in four different colors, with each player owning one color. At the start of the game, place all the cups face down on the table, shuffle them, then group them together. On a turn, a player can capture a stack thats adjacent to one of his own stacks as long as his stack is the same height as or taller than the adjacent stack. As long as a players color stays on top of the stack, he controls that stack. If one or more stacks are isolated from the main group and all of these stacks are controlled by the same player, he can take possession of them, removing them from the game. When all the cups have been captured, players stack all of the cups they captured and whoever has the highest stack wins.
CARDS AND LAND COMBOS
In Deus, players work to develop their own civilizations in a shared environment. Each player starts the game with five building cards, and on a turn a player either uses one of these cards to construct a building or discard one or more cards to make an offering to a god. Cards come in six colors: red for military, green for resource production, blue for trade, brown for scoring, purple for temples, and yellow for a variety of effects.
When you construct a building, you build it in the appropriate location on the modular game board — which is sized based on the number of players with the hexagonal tiles composed of seven landscape circles — then you place the card in your personal tableau in the appropriate stack of colored cards and activate the power of all of those cards already in your tableau, starting with the card at the bottom of the stack.
When you make an offering, you discard cards, then receive the help of a god associated with one of the cards that you discarded, with the number of cards determining the strength of the associated action. You then refill your hand to five cards.
The game ends either when all the barbarian villages on the game board have been surrounded and attacked or when all the temples have been constructed. Whoever has the most points wins.
SET COLLECTION WITH CARDS
Elysium is a game of set collecting and combinations in which players recruit cards representing heroes, items, powers and gods.

Each card belongs to one of the eight Olympians gods (a family), and shows a level (1 to 3).
During the five turns of the game, players will try to transfer their cards to the Elysium and write their own Legends, which are series of cards from the same family or from different families of the same level. The more epic the Legends, the more favor from the gods they’ll earn. But as they go to Elysium, most cards lose their power and players will therefore have to renounce some of their combinations !
A game of balance and opportunity with simple action, but constant dilemmas and complex strategies.

PAINT TO GLORY
In Fresco, players are master painters working to restore a fresco in a Renaissance church.
Each round begins with players deciding what time they would like to wake up for the day. The earlier you wake up, the earlier you will be in turn order, and the better options you will be guaranteed to have. Wake up early too often, however, and your apprentices will become unhappy and stop working as efficiently. They would much rather sleep in!
Then, players decide their actions for the turn, deploying their apprentice work force to various tasks. Youll need to buy paint, mix paint, work on painting the fresco, raise money (which youll need to buy the aforementioned paint!) by painting portraits, and perhaps even send your apprentices to the opera in order to increase their happiness. Points are scored mostly by painting the fresco, which requires specific combinations of paints, so youll need to buy and mix your paints wisely, in addition to beating other players to the paints and fresco segments you would like to paint.

Da Luigi
SIMPLE GAME FULFILLING FOOD ORDERS
Buying ingredients, greeting guests, serving tables — running a restaurant can be hectic, and in the end only the one who is Da Luigi can keep an overview of everything and earn a star for the restaurant. If only you didnt have to deal with the other players who always act as unwelcome guests...
Your goal in Da Luigi is to get as many guests as possible, although only satisfied customers will always be good customers. Variety in the gameplay comes from the 90 individual guest cards, with you always wanting to find a free table for wealthy guests with plenty of time while pushing off grumpy customers in a hurry to your opponents.
Players buy ingredients for their meals from the market and pay for them in time — and time is always against you because if you dont serve a guest his desired food quickly, say, by the end of the game, youll lose points in the end.
The Magic Labyrinth
A BIT OF MEMORY, DEDUCTION AND LUCK
The little magician apprentices have lost some magic objects inside of the master’s maze. Now they try to collect them before the Master notices anything. However, in the maze there are invisible walls and only one of the missing objects is revealed at a time. So they have to make their way through the maze by means of a good memory and lots of skill.
Each player moves their magician over the board while trying not to bump the labyrinth below. Each magician is joined with a magnetic ball so if you hit a wall the ball drops and you have to start all over again.
The Palaces of Carrara
SCORE AT THE RIGHT TIME
In The Palaces of Carrara, players want to buy the marble from this famous region of Italy as cheaply as possible – but any reduction in price will benefit opponents as well. Maybe youll find it profitable to instead invest in the buildings created from this marble? Maybe itll be more worthwhile to grab the expensive raw material when bigger buildings in town turn out to be not so lucrative?
The game includes two levels of play: beginner and advanced. Co-designer Wolfgang Kramer says, To understand the game, its important that players play the beginner version to learn the game mechanisms and how they mesh together.
BUILD A CAR IN ONE OF TWO MARKETS
In Automania, you run a car factory, trying to produce the most popular cars in the market. To achieve this, you buy tiles to upgrade and customize your factory, and hire specialist employees to help you.
Central to the game are the factory boards: Each player has a factory with three assembly lines, and each assembly line produces one type of car. You can put machine tiles along your assembly lines to change the specifications of your cars. However, your three assembly lines intersect, so each machine tile placed might affect more than one type of car — which means you have to think carefully about where you put those machines.
When a car is produced, it must be sold in one of two markets, and the better the specifications of the car is in line with the demand in the chosen market, the more popular the car will be. The most popular cars reap the highest profits, earning money or prestige — which is what you need to win this game.
ROLL AND COMPLETE EXPEDITIONS
In Discoveries, you play one of the Expedition members: Lewis, Clark, Gass or Ordway. Your goal is to compile as much knowledge as possible in your journal, and in this way advance science thanks to your discoveries.
The TribeDiscoveries cards you gain during the game score discovery points at the end. To get these cards, you have to perform exploration actions, and to do this you use dice.
THROW THOSE COCONUTS INTO THE CUP
Coconuts is a dexterity game based on the Monkey King character from Chinese mythology.
In the game, players launch coconuts toward a field of cups in the middle of the playing area. Land in a cup, and you get to stack it on your player board; land in a cup on someone elses board, and you get to move it to yours. By playing special Monkey King Magic cards, you can force opponents to shoot blind, take long shots, or otherwise bollix their efforts to cup a coconut.

Once two dancers meet in the heat of the night they can be made into couples and the better the match the more players score. If only two of the four visible qualities match then the dancers have a one-night-stand which is not a very long term fun and is thus worth only one point. With three matching qualities the dancers actually like one another, start dating and that is worth four points. If all the four visible qualities match then the dancers get the happily ever after the one true love we all search for and thus it is worth full 5 points.
In the end the player who has been the best cupido wins the game. In other words the best scorer wins.

The game is broken into a series of stories, usually played over the course of 2 chapters, in which players alternately participate in a timed planning phase where various obstacles and plots are uncovered and then an untimed story phase where players resolve the effects of their planning.
The result is a tense and truly cooperative experience where players must work together, communicate well, plan effectively, and use the strengths of their investigators in an attempt to stay a step ahead on the mean streets of the city.
In Stefan Felds new game The Oracle of Delphi, the players ships travel across a large variable game board of hexagonal tiles showing islands and the surrounding waters. Each player aims to reach certain islands to perform the twelve tasks given by Zeus: e.g., to collect offerings of different colors and to deliver them to corresponding temples, or to slay monsters of a specific type (and color), all of which can be discovered on the islands.
In order to execute these color-dependent actions, you are given three colored dice each turn, the so-called oracle dice. Rolling the dice (at the start of the turn) is equivalent to consulting the oracle, whereas the results represent her answers. The answers determine which actions you will be able to take, but you will always have three actions per turn. However, a slight divergence from your fate is often possible.
In addition to the oracle, you can request support from the gods and you can acquire favor tokens, companions, and other special abilities that will help you win the race against other competitors.

The accessible and clever game Animals on Board features a two-tiered cardboard ark that will hold each players animal tiles. At the start of the game, each player draws three animal tiles, chooses one of these tiles, and places it on a bracket of his ark without showing it to the other players.
The leftover animals that players initially drew begin forming what will become a single animal collective in the center of the table. The total number of animals in the collective is based on the number of players, but one animal in the collective will always be face-down. Each player also starts with one food crate and may never have more than five food crates at any time.
On each turn, a player has two options: (a) split a collective of animals into two groups and take a food crate, or (b) take one of the animal collectives into their ark by paying a food crate for each animal in that group. As players choose their group of animals, they drop out of the turn. The first player to drop out of a turn starts the next turn. The game ends when an ark has at least ten animals on board.
Ice Cool is a flicking game in which each round one of the players takes the role of the Hall Monitor (also called the Catcher) – his aim will be to catch each other penguin and get points for that. The others (also known as Runners) will try to run through several doors, thus gaining fish (that give them points) on their way. When either the Hall Monitor has caught each other penguin once or any of the others has gone through all 3 doors that have fish on them, the round is over. Each player will take the role of the Hall Monitor once and at the end of the game the winner will be the one with the most points on their fish cards.
The penguins can be flicked in a straight line, make curves and even jump over the walls! Each player will have to use the best of their skills in order to get the most points in this fun and exciting game. Its not just cool, its ICE COOL!
Sunrise City
In the tile-laying game Sunrise City, players build a city with zone tiles, bid for control of those zones, then place building tiles on the city zones to their best advantage. Each round the players use role cards to grant them special abilities in the various game phases. Points earned during play move score tokens up a ten point track. Players score one benchmark token if their score marker overshoots the star at the top of their score track but earn two benchmarks if their token lands on the star by exact count.
Thus, Sunrise City is not a race to score the most points; its a contest to grow the city in a manner that will earn you the right number of points at the right time to maximize your benchmarks. After three rounds, the player with the most benchmarks wins.

There are many ways to score points — artists, the judgement of history, wonders, technologies, attacks, money, secret future technologies, etc. — as well as many different ways to achieve a victory. Will you succeed in evolving your civilization through history, overwhelming your opponents on the way to glory?
Signorie
Italy during the 15th century was a country full of intrigue and magnificence.

After having acted in the dark for a long time, the time has finally come for them to take control of the cities and shape Italy’s future. Their stories will go down in history.
In Signorie, you will play the role of a Signore, a Lord of one of the most prestigious families of the Renaissance. One at the time, players choose one die from a common pool. (Twenty dice in five colors are rolled at the beginning of each round.) You place it on your player board (your city) and perform one of the possible actions. The color of the chosen die determines the action, and the number on the die is a discount on the cost of the action.
In Final Touch, players hire themselves out as art forgers willing to copy the masterworks of great artists, with all of them competing to create — or rather, re-create — the same image. But only the player who uses the right colors to finish the image will receive money for their work, and this skill is sure to reveal the best painter...or the best bluffer...
In more detail, players play Touch of Color cards from their hand to either improve or smear the forgery, working both together and against their fellow painters. The first player to put the final touch on any forgery in the making earns the money for that forgery, while smearing pays out to their opponents and moves them on to the larger paydays. The first artist to earn $25 by putting the final touch of paint on a forged painting wins!
Cave Troll
In Cave Troll, each player controls a party of explorers raiding the cave troll’s lair. Using knights, dwarves, thieves, and other adventurers, the players search the lair for gold and magical artifacts.

Run fast, score big! Android: Mainframe is a fast-paced strategy game set in the not-too-distant future of the Android universe!
In the game, you and up to three opponents are elite cybercriminals known as runners who are competing for control of a vulnerable banks various accounts. At the beginning of the game, you mark your arrival by the placement of your first access point. Then, each turn, you get to take a single action: establish another access point, execute a program, or pass. Your goal is to use the programs at your disposal to secure your access points so that they control as many of Titans vulnerable accounts as possible.
Most of the generic programs write pathways between Titans various nodes, allowing you to place a blue partition between the nodes on the board. Whenever your partitions seal off a section of the board containing only your access point or access points, they are secured and flipped face down. They are no longer vulnerable to your opponents programs, and you will score the accounts they control at the end of the game.

The players are ambitious managers who are trying to impress the board of directors in order to achieve as high a position as possible in the company and secure their careers. With promotions come advantages at the factory, such as more space to store precious materials and greater prestige to accelerate your ascent. Through solid management, you must strive to shine next to your peers. You need to manage suppliers and supplies, improve automobile parts, innovate — anything to stay on the cutting edge, or getting your hands greasy on the assembly line in order to boost production. You must exercise wisdom in choosing which projects you should start, selecting only those that will give you the upper hand and shunning those that will bog you down or cause the unthinkable — failure — which would diminish you in the eyes of the board.
Dead Mans Draw
Dead Mans Draw is a simple and strategic card game of risk and reward for 2 to 4 players. Players take turns drawing cards and combining their special abilities to plunder the most loot without busting their entire hands.
The core of your turn in Dead Man’s Draw is all in the flip: pulling the top card off the deck and using its special ability. Your turn isn’t over until you say it is, though. You can keep pulling cards as long as you like – until you play a card of a suit already seen, at which point you lose everything. Knowing when to stop and bank your cards is the biggest decision you make in Dead Man’s Draw, but being too timid lets braver opponents pass you up with bigger, more profitable turns.
The cards’ special abilities are key to success in Dead Man’s Draw, and they build off of each other. Each suit in DMD has an effect that the player can target when they flip a card of that suit.
Once Yokohama was just a fishing village, but now at the beginning of the Meiji era its becoming a harbor open to foreign countries and one of the leading trade cities of Japan. As a result, many Japanese products such as copper and raw silk are collected in Yokohama for export to other countries.

In the shadow of this development was the presence of many Yokohama merchants.
In YOKOHAMA, each player is a merchant in the Meiji period, trying to gain fame from a successful business, and to do so they need to build a store, broaden their sales channels, learn a variety of techniques, and (of course) respond to trade orders from abroad.

Il Vecchio
Il Vecchio is set in the 15th century, when Cosimo de Medici – also called Il Vecchio (the Elder) – and his family ruled over Tuscany and its capital Florence. The players represent the heads of Florentine families trying to rise their families to power. To achieve this, they send out their family members to locations in Tuscany to perform various tasks, specifically to recruit followers (knights, assassins, abbots) and collect money as both are needed to take control of provinces in neighboring regions; controlled provinces provide power and a bonus action. Another task is to gain the favor of the squirearchy as these favors are indispensable when it comes to getting an official position in Florence, e.g., a seat on the town council to enhance actions in Tuscany, or a noble rank to gain power at the end of the game.
Bounce-Off
Bounce-Off is a ball-bouncing game for two to four players where the object is to use the balls to make a pattern shown on a card. If youre playing with two two-player teams, each team gets four balls. If youre only playing with two players, each player gets eight balls. Flip over one of the pattern cards to see which pattern you need to create. The green cards are easier than the blue cards. Then, you can either take turns bouncing your balls into the grid or bounce the balls all at once. If your balls create the pattern first, you win that card. The first team or player with three cards wins the game.
Touria
In Touria, Princess Tara has decided to marry – but not just anyone, of course. She expects a lot from her husband-to-be: Heroic deeds and precious gifts are a must.
A group of bold adventurers set out to pit themselves against dragons, dig up gems from the haunted mines of the country – and make a good deal from time to time, since the father of the bride demands an appropriate price for his daughters hand. Tourias dancing towers show the heroes the way, so the brave men and women go from one adventure to the next. Brave women? Of course – or have we forgotten to mention that Taras handsome brother, Prince Talan, is also of marriageable age?
Taluva Deluxe
The Deluxe edition contains the basic Taluva game at increased size, as well as the following new expansions: Ship expansion (A new wooden piece, which can be placed in lagoons, adjacent to settlements), 2-Hex tiles expansion, and game-boards.
VOLT: Robot Battle Arena
VOLT: Robot Battle Arena is a tactical game of robotic combat. Be the first player to score five victory points.

You must use your wits to out-think and out-maneuver your opponents to win!
Control your network of spies, gather intel, and break codes in Covert, a game of tactical dice placement, set collection, and timing set in Cold War Europe. Players race to complete high risk Missions by deploying their agents and acquiring the necessary equipment, all while keeping an eye on the needs of future missions and the advances of rival agencies.
Each round, players roll their hand of dice and in turn allocate them to different actions, like moving their Agents, acquiring Agency Cards, completing and acquiring new Missions, and more. Dice are placed on action circles that require players to place their dice numerically adjacent to dice that have already been placed, allowing for rival agencies to thwart their plans — but a good Agent always has a backup plan, and there are ways around everything that stands in your way.
Covert combines simple concepts with a depth of play that allows players the freedom to combine special abilities and card combos to complete their Missions and overcome obstacles. Utilize your assets. Make your move. Dont let anyone stand in your way.
My Happy Farm
My Happy Farm is a game in which players strive to become the best farmer.
All players have their own farm with four nice animals. They feed those cuties. Animals which are fed well fill their stomachs with tasty food, grow and become longer and longer, even reaching unnatural lengths. The longer your animal, the better a farmer you are. The owner of the longest animal receives bonus points. Animals which arent fed even one time lose their weight, take offense, and leave their bad master. Moreover, they will take some victory points from the bad master to punish him, so players have to be good and careful farmers and feed their animals well to create Their Own Happy Farm.
Village is a game full of tactical challenges. A smart and unique new action mechanism is responsible for keeping turns short and yet still tactically rich and full of difficult decisions. Also unique is the way this game deals with the delicate subject of death; as a natural and perpetual part of life in the village, thoughts of death will keep you focused on smart time-management.
Nippon is an Area Majority Game in which players control Zaibatsu and try to develop their web of power by investing in new industries, improving their technological knowledge, shipping goods to foreign countries or using them to satisfy local needs, and growing their influence and power as they oversee the era of rapid industrialization of Japan.
The foundations of the big Zaibatsu were the traditional silk workshops, but soon the conglomerates diversified their influence and power, building a complex structure of interconnected companies that made them giant players in the world’s new industrial era. Each player takes the reins of one of these big corporations and tries to develop it in order to grow and achieve power.
To win the game, players must carefully choose which types of industry to invest in to get the most influence over the Japanese islands. Every action that is taken helps to forge their own path to new opportunities.
Burano is played over four seasons, 14 rounds altogether. Through the novel cube pyramid-driven mechanism, players take turns paying coins to operate their cube pyramid during each round. The operation of the color-coded cubes would trigger certain actions, such as fishing, lace making, and house roofing, which will earn players victory points (VP). At the end of the game, whoever has earned the most VP wins.
La chasse aux Gigamons

In Tahiti the goal is to collect crops (coconuts, taro, bananas, spice) and fish from the surrounding islands to score points with bonuses for making full sets and acquiring the most of their family favorites which are hidden from the other players.
The game starts off with just your home island and its immediate neighboring islands. Players build up the archipelago of fertile islands with the guidance of Haumea for the first part of the game until all islands are in play. Players seed the islands each turn giving them some control over where crops replenish. Once the archipelago is formed, the late season is triggered when crops start becoming scarce, with players occasionally stopping an island from producing altogether. Although the late season may not be as good for crops, fishing becomes easier with bonuses given to the waters around some of the islands.
In Kingdomino, you are a Lord seeking new lands in which to expand your kingdom. You must explore all the lands, wheat fields, lakes, and mountains in order to spot the best plots. But be careful as some other Lords also covet these lands...
The Legend of Cheung Po Tsai
During the Qing Dynasty, following the death of the infamous pirate Cheung Po Tsai, four factions compete to claim his treasure map by being the first to sail all the way around Cheung Chau island.
Each round, players must play cards matching the wind direction determined by the spinner, in order to make progress around the board. They can also play cards to shoot at opponents (they can return fire) to move them backwards along the track, steal cards from opponents hands, swap places with an opponent, or just to move extra spaces or draw extra cards.
Each factions character has some special abilities. The factions are fishermen, pirates, and the Qing and Portuguese navies. The first player to reach the last (24th) space on the board wins.
In Kingdoms, the English-language version of Auf Heller und Pfennig, players try to collect the most gold by establishing castles in the richest regions of the realm while avoiding hazards like dragons, swamps, and trolls. The 2011 edition includes detailed plastic castles, a streamlined rulebook, and the addition of a wizard tile—one that increases the rank of adjacent castles, multiplying their scores—previously available only at game conventions.
Ubongo 3d
Newest addition to the Ubongo series. This time players place wooden tiles over two layers in 2-sided puzzle cards, one side for beginner players and one for more advanced ones. Players collect gemstones for their performance and player with the most valuable gem collection at the end wins the game.
City Hall sees players competing to become Mayor of New York City. They do this by attempting to be the most successful at both bringing people into the city as well as campaigning for the citizens approval. Whoever best balances these two goals will win the election.
There are seven offices within City Hall. These offices deal with a different aspect of building the city or campaigning, such as the Tax Assessor, Surveyor, or Zoning Board. In a round, each player will get to activate one of these offices. However, just because you activate an office doesnt mean you will get to use it. The other players will have an opportunity to use their influence to steal control of the office away from you. Keeping it will require countering with your own influence. However, you can instead let another player control that office this round and add their influence to your own, giving you a leg up on controlling things later on.
Château Roquefort Castle of Appenzell
Each player controls colored mice and tries to collect pieces of cheese in Castle Appenzell. On their turn, players spend action points to put new mice into play, reveal corridors in the castle, move their mice around the castle, or push a tile into play, which changes the maze of cheese pieces underneath. If two of a single players mice reach a place with the same kind of cheese showing, the player obtains a piece of this cheese. The first player with 4 different pieces of cheese wins the game.
Survey the galaxy to expand your civilization – will you colonize nearby planets, or take them over by force? Harvest resources for trade, and do research to improve your technology. Build the best civilization and win the game!
Eminent Domain is a civilization-building game in which your civilizations abilities are based on a deck of Role cards. At the beginning of the game each player has the same deck of cards, with just two cards for each Role in it. Every turn you must choose a Role to execute (and like Glory to Rome or Puerto Rico, your opponents will get a chance to follow suit), and in doing so you will add one of those Role cards to your deck. When executing a Role, you can boost its effect by playing cards out of your hand matching the Role you have chosen. For example, the more you Research, the better you get at Researching (because youll have more Research cards in your deck).
Royal Palace is primarily a game of majority. Each player has servants he will place appropriately on the nine parts of the palace. On his turn, a player will perform actions based on the number of servants available on each location. If he has, for example, three servants on the mint, he gets three pieces of gold. As a bonus, the player with the majority of servants on a location receives generally a bonus extra action.
Some places allow you to add new servants or to move them from room to room. The purpose is to earn gold and royal seals and to use those to recruit the lofty noblemen waiting in the castle park. The latter will be the main source of victory points at the end of the game.
Geometry Strategy
Toy of the Year Finalist for Rookie of the Year, as the only board game!
First player to place their Sphere on the Bullseye is the winner. How hard can that be?
Well, you have 1, 2, or 3 opponents with their sets of pieces trying to stop you, and take you out of the game.
Your Sphere has no defense and at the center of the board theres a Red Zone where everything changes….
Geometry Strategy is a strategic and tactic board game where even the element of luck is tactics.
Crokinole
This game is like shuffleboard in the round. Players take turns flicking disks on a board, trying to score points by attaining central regions. The main stipulation being that contact with the other teams pieces must be made in order for the disk to remain on the board afterward. Although the game uses quite a bit of skill to flick the disks, theres a very significant strategy element to the game. There are many different variants and rules, as this game is very old and has had many different incarnations over the years.
Super-Vampire
In Super-Vampire, the evildoer Dr. Garlic has set his evil plan in motion to place garlic everywhere in the freshly cleaned crypt! This means you need to hurry and get rid of all the garlic before sunrise. Luckily, super vampires keep special garlic-eating pets called Gorlocs inside their towers, but Gorlocs dont like to run or walk or do just about anything other than eat garlic, so you must fly around the crypt and collect all the garlic to bring it back to the tower before sunrise.
KUMO Hogosha
A long time ago, the gods decided to pass Earth down to Mankind and retreated to live in the Heavens. They erected the Cloud Temple, a symbolic border between the two worlds and home to the Stone of Balance.
As the sun shone from the Heavens and the Earth blossomed, the gods decided to open the gates of the Temple to only the most skilled people, allowing them to compete to become Kumo Hogosha, Guardians of the Clouds.
Throughout the centuries, valiant warriors – the Kumotori – fought against each other in the Rotating Arena of the Four Winds where the renowned Stone of Balance resides.
Each year, a prestigious tournament is held in which a single winner is elevated to the rank of Kumo Hogosha, a demigod amongst men.
The challengers for this title compete in a duel that combines strength and strategy to demonstrate their skill in a myriad of fighting techniques.
Today it is your turn to continue writing the legend and face these legendary warriors. Climb into the Arena, master its ever-changing environment, and bring the Stone of Balance into your opponent’s camp to become a Kumo Hogosha!
Bottlecap Vikings is a small rondel game with a ton of replayability. The rondel spaces are not fixed in place- they are randomized at the beginning of the game. Not only that, theyre double-sided, so you might never play on the exact same configuration twice. There are two different victory conditions, and players each have a small tech-tree in their city with multiple viable paths. Furthermore, the city cards are double-sided, one side is identical for all players, and the other side is unique. To top it off, the crux of the gameplay is the push-your-luck damage system, which makes you value spaces differently depending on how damaged you or others already are.
Grand Austria Hotel
In the thick of the Viennese modern age, exquisite cafés are competing for customers. Inspiring artists, important politicians, and tourists from all over the world are populating Vienna and in need of a hotel room. This is your opportunity to turn your little café into a world famous hotel. Hire staff, fulfill the wishes of your guests, and gain the emperors favor. Only then will your café become the Grand Austria Hotel.
The start player rolls the dice, sorting them by the rolled number and placing them on the corresponding action spaces. On a turn, a player chooses one of the six actions and carries it out. The number of the available dice in the corresponding action spaces determines how much the player gets from the action. They then remove one of the dice and can carry out additional actions. With the different actions, a player can get the necessary drinks and dishes, prepare the rooms, or hire staff.
A curse has been placed on the Valley of Life. Hearing the spirits of nature cry out for aid, clans of druids have arrived, determined to use their blessings to heal the land and rescue the spirits. It will require courage and also caution, as the curse can overwhelm the careless who wield too much power.
In Mystic Vale, 2 to 4 players take on the role of druidic clans trying to cleanse the curse upon the land. Each turn, you play cards into your field to gain powerful advancements and useful vale cards. Use your power wisely, or decay will end your turn prematurely. Score the most victory points to win the game!
Mystic Vale uses the innovative Card Crafting System, which lets you not only build your deck, but build the individual cards in your deck, customizing each cards abilities to exactly the strategy you want to follow.
Dingos Dreams
Dingo and his friends have gotten lost on Walkabout! Visit their dreams to lead them home!
Dingos Dreams is a delightful and clever family game for 2-4 players. Each player competes to be the first to successfully guide his animal through the dream world.
Each player starts with a grid of 25 tiles, set up at random in a 5x5 dreamscape. Each player also starts with one extra tile, with a picture of their animal on it. The opposite side of all dreamscape tiles also has a picture of the animal. Each turn, a random card is drawn, telling players which tile they should flip. When a player flips a tile, it means their animal is traveling through a part of the dreamscape. Each players goal is to guide their animal through the dreamscape by positioning him in a specified pattern (which is different each game). After a card is drawn, a player takes their extra animal and slides him into the dreamscape, shifting one row or column of tiles until a new, different tile emerges from the opposite side. The player will use this tile to shift another column or row on the next turn, and so on, until one players dreamscape tiles match the goal. The player then shouts their animals name-- Dingo!, for example, to win the round.
Steam Time
Its the year 1899, and strange phenomena are being observed in places like Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt. Time goes crazy, and newly discovered crystals have exhibited strange properties that allow for the creation of fantastic apparatuses.
In a race to exploit these discoveries, the rapidly industrializing nations have used them to construct gigantic steam-driven airships to travel through time and space. In Steam Time, the race is on for long-lost knowledge, vanished cultures, and hidden treasures. Travel to past ages, search for crystals, and use your crystals wisely to stay ahead of your competitors.
The Castles of Burgundy
The game is set in the Burgundy region of High Medieval France. Each player takes on the role of an aristocrat, originally controlling a small princedom. While playing they aim to build settlements and powerful castles, practice trade along the river, exploit silver mines, and use the knowledge of travelers.
The game is about players taking settlement tiles from the game board and placing them into their princedom which is represented by the player board. Every tile has a function that starts when the tile is placed in the princedom. The princedom itself consists of several regions, each of which demands its own type of settlement tile.
Wiraqocha
Wiraqocha Valley is represented by an adjustable board consisting of 22 hexagonal tiles, each of them being identified by a number from 1 to 12, or a dice combo (pairs or straights). In his turn, each player rolls some six-sided dice, combining them to take possession of territories, or to protect from the opponents the ones he already owns. Every hexagon affords resources or special capacities, which are means to influence die results to fit one’s strategy. There are three ways to win: bring back a huge cargo of Somnium to the Empress; acquire enough scientific knowledge to build the Leviathan, a terrifying weapon serving the Kingdom; or find in the temple depths the four relics that will allow you to reach Wiraqocha’s treasure.
Isle of Trains
In Isle of Trains, players are train operators, building trains with the right mix of freight cars needed to complete delivery contracts before your opponents.
Cards are used in multiple ways: they can be built as train cars or buildings supporting your train line, used as currency to pay the cost of building those new train cars and buildings, or used as cargo to load on available train cars.
When loading cargo on an opponent’s train, players receive an immediate benefit or action, but they are also giving their opponent the cargo they just might need to be able to complete a delivery contract and score big!
Balancing the need to upgrade your train, take advantage of benefits from loading other players trains, and complete delivery contracts first is the key to being the most successful train operator on the Isle of Trains!
Dolmen is a new edition of eggertspieles Die Dolmengötter (2005) that includes new graphics and minor changes to the gameplay.
In this luck-free majority game, each player has three druids that he moves across the board. When a druid is moved, he usually leaves a stone behind, and in this way stone circles are eventually created on the board. Each time a player gains the stone majority within such a circle, he places a dolmen with a hidden number (1 to 4) in its center. Over time, stacks of dolmen grow all across the board.
The game ends as soon as any player runs out of dolmen or stones. For each dolmen a player has placed, he scores a number of points that depends on the dolmens position within its stack as well as the size of the circle surrounding it. The player with the most points wins.
Dust Tactics is a tactical miniatures board game for 2-4 players. In an alternate 1940s reality, alien technology fuels gigantic machines of war as the forces of the Axis and Allies clash over rare mineral deposits that could inevitably decide the outcome of the war.

The goal of the game remains the same: Be the first player (or team) to push six opposing marbles off the playing area.
Grog Island
The core of Grog Island is its unique auction mechanism, which uses five colored dice. The players use these dice and the pips on them to create and raise bids. While the winner of an auction can claim buildings on certain peninsulas, the players who have passed are also rewarded: Not only do they receive goods like grog bottles or treasure maps but they also visit merchant ships where they can trade these goods for money, parrots or treasure chests. The auction mechanism of Grog Island makes for tactical and interesting gameplay as in certain moments, passing can be almost as rewarding as winning an auction. Finding the right balance between bidding and backing out is the key to winning.
In ESSEN, players are exhibitors who are trying to sell their games at a large board game fair in the well-known western German city of Essen. By placing their sellers, creating buzz, and managing their promotional efforts correctly, they can turn a profit and get board game geeks excited about their games.

Fire, water, earth, wind — these four elements have driven mankinds mythology, philosophy and science for eons. Now, master the power of these primal forces in this abstract game of capture and area control.
In Element, players take turns drawing and placing four element stones to encircle opposing sages. Each element has unique properties that players can use to block an opponents movement. Feed walls of flame, move raging rivers, raise impenetrable mountain ranges, and even bend wind to your command.

Understanding the subtle, diverse, yet powerful nature of the four elements is key to surrounding your opponent and claiming victory!
Artifacts Inc
In Artifacts, Inc., 2-4 players compete to grow the most famous archeology company.

Players can choose to focus on making lots of money by selling artifacts, having museum majorities, creating the best combination of expeditions and buildings, or searching below the waves for lost cities and hidden treasures. The first player to reach 20 reputation triggers the end of the game, and the player with the most total reputation wins!
Fields of Green
Fields of Green takes place in the second half of the 20th century. Players take the role of farm owners trying to expand their property and business. By adding fields, livestock and facilities, they build an economic engine that will bring them closer to victory.

At the end of each year comes the harvest season when they must water their fields, feed their livestock, and pay maintenance costs in order to receive valuable resources that will allow them to further expand in the next year.
Through various means, player eventually convert their wealth to victory points, and the player who gathers the most by the end of the fourth year wins.

I was wrong about Extinction Rebellion. This is why.
The labour movement and environmentalists need each other, says Isaac Rose.
Cyclists lay down as they take part in the Extinction Rebellion protest at the Tate Modern in London, Britain April 27, 2019. REUTERS/Henry Nicholls
Last December, I was invited by New Internationalist to contribute to ‘Extinction Rebellion – in or out?’, a round-up of views on the then nascent climate movement. I was sceptical about the ability of a movement like Extinction Rebellion to bring about the change that is urgently required to deal with climate breakdown. I argued that environmentalists should engage with the Labour movement – the Labour Party and trade unions together – not take direct action. Politics, not protest should be our focus.
After the last couple of weeks, I have had the joyful experience of my assessment being wrong. It’s now clear that XR’s tactics haven’t replicated those of previous environmental movements. Through innovative application of non-violent tactics, they managed to achieve a feat that I imagine every environmental activist group of the past could only have dreamed: shutting down significant areas of central London for over a week and fundamentally shifting the terms of debate over climate breakdown through (positive) media coverage.
The significance of this achievement must not be understated. Furthermore, and crucially, XR ended the action on its own terms – not smashed by police power (à la Occupy) but strategically ‘withdrawing’, no doubt to return.
Extinction Rebellion’s masterstroke has been the way it used language. By focussing on terms such as ‘extinction’, ‘climate emergency’ and ‘earth systems breakdown’ and the demand of ‘telling the truth’, they have zoned in upon and overturned one of the key blockages to dealing with the crisis: consciousness of its urgency.
Eco-socialism, not green capitalism
Powerful interests – fossil fuel companies and their allies on the Right – have spent the last 30 years sowing confusion and doubt on this issue. Framing around ‘climate change’ underplays the cataclysmic severity of what is happening. In this context, the injunction to tell the truth has been revelatory.
That’s not to say that we can do without an electoral strategy. Blocking bridges and creating a heightened sense of crisis will not be enough: to combat climate breakdown, a far broader political struggle is required. Those powerful interests must be taken on and defeated.
Here I maintain my belief in the centrality of the Corbyn project and the Labour movement to this task. At root, climate breakdown is the product of capitalism: a system that demands continuous growth; that requires sacrifice zones of the natural world; that enriches those who hold wealth at the expense of those who work.
As George Monbiot argued, facing down climate change requires facing down capitalism. The Labour movement under its socialist leadership has the analysis to grasp this and the policies to address it and is, therefore, central to this struggle.
No more ‘business as usual’
Additionally, only Labour in power, running a government not beholden to fossil fuel lobbyists and corporate power, will deliver the urgent economic policy that is required to cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2030. The Conservatives have 10 years of failure on this issue, not only through inaction but also in undoing much of the good work that the last Labour government did. In wake of XR there are clear signs that the Labour movement is shifting: from announcements from the party leadership, union leaders and grassroots Labour campaigns for a Green New Deal. XR has created a space for political possibility.
Labour also has a massive role to play in building upon the work of XR and others, and so far it has played this well. Frontbench endorsement of the protests, a high-profile meeting with Greta Thunberg, and the announcement that Corbyn will seek to make Parliament the first in the world to declare a climate emergency; the role of the party in strengthening the climate movement is crucial. Note the response of Labour’s London mayor Sadiq Khan to the protests – a call to let London return to ‘business as usual’.
This is a clear sign that a different leader of the party would not have acted to endorse and build upon the energy of XR. It is a vindication to all those within Labour who have fought these last four years to defend and extend the socialist leadership of the party.
In summary then, it is clear that over the last two weeks XR has succeeded through its innovative tactics, in shifting the Overton Window. It has successfully created a sense of emergency, and it has reframed the climate crisis around the truth: that the situation is urgent.
Yet the socialist and Labour movement has in this last week shown the crucial role it too will play, from endorsing the protests to winning power and developing economic policy and political frameworks to force action. Moving forward, these two movements need one another. When I wrote for this publication last year, I was sceptical. My predictions of failure have been proven incorrect – and I couldn’t be happier.
Isaac Rose is chair of the Manchester branch of Momentum, a group within Labour formed to support Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership and push for socialist policies and the democratization of the party.

Alpocalypse
"Weird Al" Yankovic
Released: Jun 2011
Label: VOLCANO
The de facto king of the song parody's 13th album -- his first since 2006 -- Alpocalypse features the characteristically sniper-accurate re-animations and eviscerations of popular acts shot through with alternately absurd and smartly sarcastic lyrics. "CNR," a de(con)struction of The White Stripes, is almost too perfect; meanwhile, a Doors parody about Craigslist is both hilarious and oddly insightful, and maybe even a little creepy. Yankovic's accordion finally shows up on the brilliant mash-up of damn near everything, "Polka Face."

Good, I just wanted to confirm my assumption in text. Thank you Complex.
Created topic Seasons in Anime
Hi guys I have a question! Its super duper important! Or is it? Here goes: certain anime have seasons which includes maybe a second or third season. However, on otakuelite.com do we declare a separate entry for that season if it has a particular name? For instance, Mushishi has a second season called Mushishi Zuko. Offically, Mushishi Zuko is consider the continuation of mushishi in its episodic form but it has a different tittle; therefore it deserves its own entry. Now, consider this: Silver Spoon only had one season but declared there would be a second season. The next season is techically called Silver Spoon 2 or in this case Silver Spoon 2014. My question though, lies in the fact should we declare another separate entry for the second season of Silver Spoon 2 [aka Silver spoon 2014]? Also, Break blade orginally had only 6 short movies that lasted about 51 minutes. However, the anime company made a tv series that aired 12 episodes with about the same animation but contained more scenes than the 6 short movies; does that mean break blade [2014] deserve its own entry?
Comment to You Can't Live Without Zvezda Plot!
Sounds like a comedy anime, but the better question is how much comedy did the anime had? like was it comedy it would occasionally have a joke or comedy where it happens like every 4-5 minutes?
Replied to What are you watching?
I finished watching ghost in the shell & Log Horizon. So, I been kind of bored until April came around the corner. I picked up Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, No Game No Life, Mushishi Zuko Shou, and Haikyuu to my list of anime to watch.
Added anime entry for Break Blade (2014)
On the continent of Cruzon, people are born with a unique ability. This unique ability allows people to control quartz which power machines and pilot golems. People call this unique ability "Magic". Those that cannot control quarts are called an un-sorcercor. Rygatt Arrow is one of these people but in his case, it gives him the ability to control the unique ancient golem.

Created blog entry Negima!
Animation studios: Shaft, Gansis Episodes: 26 Genre(s): Romance, Comedy, Magic Synopsis: "Negi Springfield is a student from a magic school who is continuing his education/training as an English teacher in an all-girls school. While there, he has to keep his magic background a secret, which isn't easy when you get such a bunch of variable personalities to keep an eye out for." (taken from otakuelite.com) Where to watch: Youtube:Funimation ***This review contains spoilers, please read at your own risk*** The English voice actor Negi Springfield has the same voice actor,Greg Ayres, who vocied for Karou in Ouran Highschool Host Club and Kyoki in Beck. With that said, I really hate his voice. And I will totally murder this guy if I met him in real life because his voice really sucks for the characters he plays. Plus, I feel like I want to break my monitor every time I hear his voice. Okay my rant is over. Sorry about that guys. I just get a bit worked up on Greg Ayres. Anyway, the rest of the English voice cast did fine. However, the Japanese sub version is a whole lot better. In fact, I will strongly suggest you watch this series in Japanese sub. Otherwise, you will go crazy and, start talking about how you got your scar and how much you want the philosopher stone to restore your body. I can't really say what the best parts of the comedy in the anime were. I would say though, that there is very mild sexual themes evident in the anime. Also its hard for me to judge this anime's comedy when I really hate little kids, extremely hate them. So, I am not keen at all for the middle school female children in the anime along with Negima as a main character. Moving along, the plot wasn't that bad. It felt very interesting, especially the elements of magic. Furthermore, those elements of magic are the basis for most if not all of the comedic scenes in the anime. There were other elements of the anime such as the harem that they really try to push for. And I would like to say this is one of the few I seen that feel genuinely unique. I am saying that alot lately but this is a really good anime for a magic-based anime. Like all old manga-based anime though, the manga was still ongoing at the time of the anime production. Therefore the ending to the anime was not really related to the manga entirely. Plus, there are still many parts of the manga that could have been put into the anime such as the journey to the magical world. I forgot to mention though that the anime try to follow the original plot but then went on its own plot. Similar to the way full metal alchemist did when it caught up to the manga. Overall Well, it certainly feels unique I'll give Negima! that. However, I can't really say I enjoyed it since I hate kids. I just really hate them. Sorry if you are a kid and you are reading this review, I don't like you ( if you are under 15 years old because I can't swear to you). With 31 girl characters, its really hard for this anime to make each female character feel unique for Negi's harem plan. Keep in mind that all the girl characters have your typical personality from every possible stereotype in the realm of anime. Although you will most be seeing Asuna and Nodoka try to hook up with Negima. The other female characters will try to win him over, in time. By the way, it is not Negima's intention at all to have a girlfriend in the anime. In fact, the only thing he is looking for in the school is a magical partner. A magical partner is sort of like a knight or tank that the wizard try to use buffs and give powers to. Other than that, he simply wants to work as a teacher. If you like harems and you want a male child main character then this is the anime for you. Also expect a lot of magical based comedy that involves middle school girls. Animation: 3/5 Story: 4/5 Sound: 3/5 Characters: 4/5 Comedy: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 I'm sure you guys know by now to check out theawesome for his last review. This is also my last review as part of the rom com. Hope you enjoy it because this is a great comedy anime.
Created blog entry Princess Lover
Synposis: "Arima Teppei lost his parents in a traffic accident. His grandfather Isshin adopted him by force and ordered him to succeed the head of Arima Group Corporation. At Shuuhou Gakuen, a high school only for wealthly students, Teppei's new life as a celebrity starts." (taken from otakuelite.com) Teppi is not your average guy, he wields a sword and knows kendo. To top it off, he is the grandson of the richest person in the world, sounds exciting right? Wrong! Princess Lover is not exciting, it is far from it! In fact, stay away from this boring anime to watch something else. Something with a little more class and a better plotline! -sigh- I wish I didn't watched this anime in the first place. To be honest, I felt nothing was interesting about the entire show. Also, didn't find it that bad to watch as well. Mhmm, I guess I would describe this show as pretty average. I also felt that the show was confused about what it was trying to do. For instance, some of the scenes were funny then romantic and finally serious all in one episode. However, it wasn't serious enough nor funny nor ecchi enough to make me feel hatred or happy about Princess Lover. In fact, this is one of the few anime that I truly feel neutral about. It could also be that Princess Lover was only about 12 episodes long that make it feel like an average anime and it probably could have build up to something better. Furthermore, I would also wager that the manga was a lot better in saying what it wanted to be. Now that I think about it, the manga had more ecchi and funny scenes in comparison to the anime. One thing I do understand about this anime is the fact that it is a harem. All of the scenes, story, characters, and plot make this anime feel like a harem. I'm also positive this is another reason why this anime felt so average because the character Teppi didn't choose anyone and was passive aggresive about the women-expect he wasn't passive when it comes to fighting. There also wasn't anything about the animation or plot that makes it unique. Again, this anime felt pretty average which made it hard for me to review this because I didn't find anything bad or good about Princess Lover. Overall: 3/5 - Average, if there is ever a season 2, lets hope it is longer because it would certainly be better in whatever it was trying to accomplish. With that said, I don't really know what to recommend to people to watch since this anime was very bad in trying to be funny, romantic, and serious. However, you could try out Ouran Highschool Host club for a funny reverse harem or you could watch MM! for a perverted ecchi experience. No pictures in this review due to me reaching my limit in imageshack. I'm trying to find another picture hosting site by the next review. Also expect the next review to be a lot longer and more wordy. Check out theawsome.

Created blog entry Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
Animation Studios: AIC Build Episodes: 12 Genre(s): Romance, Comedy, Harem, High School, Club Synopsis: Kodaka just transferred to a new high school and haven't made any new friends. One day though, he met Yozora talking to herself in a classroom alone. There they discussed with each other about how they both don't have friends. It was then decided that Yozora should start a club and force Kodaka to join...Comedy ensues.... Where to watch: Funimation , Youtube: Funimation I shouldn't like this anime but I do. I mean all the characters in the anime is pretty well done but may be generic to some. Then again, the characters are what I like about this anime. Plus, there is a character for everyone in this anime. For instance, there is a tsundere, little sister, blond beauty, mad scientist, and a trap (guy who looks like a girl) in the anime. Like all harem anime though, there is only one guy character, Kodaka. However, there is never any side guy characters besides the trap in the anime. Is this bad then? No, not really. It is pretty standard of most harem anime to have only one male character. On the bright side, many of the female characters are funny. Often they would say lots of sexual jokes but it sounds so dirty at times that it is funny to me. In fact, this is the type of comedy I really enjoy. You know the talking about dirty things without showing any panty shots. That is what I expect from a perfect comedy. The plot on the other hand is very episodic. Sure there are characters added each episode but after a while, it feels as though they don't really do anything. They mostly try to accomplish certain goals each episode by the end of the anime. Overall Slacker Kodaka-kun. Its like I said, the female characters are what make this anime funny. Romance is hinted at times in different episodes, although it doesn't last as long as the comedy moments. There are some parts where Kodaka becomes a little bit serious when childhood memories comes up. Too bad it doesn't last very long. My favorite episodes of the anime is the second episode. The second episode is the one where they play video games as a club. They play monster hunter and play a love simulator. The other episode that I like is the last episode that was told in Yozora. Moving along, the animation is what I enjoyed about this anime as well. It really look cutesy along with the red blushes. Oh! I remember now. The hair is really awesome as well for Kodaka. Lets be honest here as well. Music in anime is very bland, especially in this one. The japanese voice cast on the other hand sound a little bit mature and a little bit awesome. All in all watch this for the female comedy displayed by the characters and the ending is good enough for the second season to come in. Animation: 5/5 Sound/Music: 4/5 Story: 3/5 Characters: 5/5 Overall 4/5 The only anime I have recommended for this anime is my teen romantic comedy snafu. It really feels similar to that anime but the anime is a little bit more serious. Hey review is here, may contain some mistakes. can you spot them? Just kidding, read theawsome blog for a new review.
Created blog entry yuushibu Review*
Animation Studios: Asread Episodes: 12 Genre(s): Romance,Comedy, Harem. Synopsis: After the Demon Lord was killed, the world no longer needed heroes. Raul, hero in training, had no choice but to find a different occupation. He tried all his might to find a job similar to hero but decided to settle for a job working retail in the capital city. One day out of the blue, a female job seeker, Fino apply to work at the store. Interesting enough she is the daughter of the Demon Lord. Thus his romantic comedy adventure begins... Where to watch: Crunchyroll I couldn't become a hero, so I reluctantly decided to get a job (what a long anime title) has got to be the most typical modern anime I have ever seen. With that said, expect to see lots of censor nude like scenes, gropes, panty shots, and lots and lots of misunderstandings jokes especially with Fino not knowing what a modern retail job is. Hmm, you would think the main character would be different in this anime like smarter but nope. He is your average typical harem guy, stupid and naive. Sometimes he can be smart, sometimes. Other times Raul is still trying to adjust his life to being a retail worker. Fino really is your typical air head, quite literally so. She is the demon's lord's daughter and doesn't understand ANY about doing normal retail job. Whenever a customer comes up to the counter, she would talk like the demon lord never securing a purchase for quite a while. I always say this but the other characters are not important when the anime just focus on the relationship between two characters. In this instance, Raul and Fino's relationship is the focus of this anime along with another conflict, Fino becoming the demon lord. However, it does try to make the anime seem like a harem anime and I personally don't know why some fans think this is a harem anime when the entire point of the plot is Fino and Raul's relationship. Overall Raul showing his wild side. The only positive thing about this anime is the animation. For some reason I really enjoy looking at the animation. It reminds me of another anime but I can't put my finger on it. Anyway, it is really eye appealing compared to most other anime. The music on the other hand feels kind of meh. Nothing really special caught my attention there. In fact, not many anime really impress with music. If you really want to impress me, you would do some jazz arrangements or possibly some high quality fantasy music. Other than that, everything felt average and typical. However, it did try to serious towards the end. Problem is most of the anime was fill with panty shots that I couldn't take the serious plot twist seriously. Oh well, maybe next time an anime will impress me. For now, don't watch this unless you like panty shots and a terrible ending. Animation: 5/5 Sound: 3/5 Story: 1/5 Characters: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 The following is anime I would recommend: HighSchool DXD: It has boobs and better plotline. You want to watch, yes? Zero no Tsukaima: A tsundere fantasy romance comedy that makes your heart start beating. Hello, this is Ebel here. Bloop bob bloop. Something goes here but hey check out TheAwsome.
Created blog entry Skip Beat! Review*
Kyoko in all her glory ***There are some spoilers included in this review*** Skip Beat is one of the few anime I enjoyed with a female MC (Main Character). It is also one of the few romantic comedies that left me wanting to see more. Furthermore, I have grown a connection to this anime relating to the problems that I am currently facing in real life. The main character, Kyoko, finally broke off her relationship with her childhood friend top idol, Sho. Also, Sho was just using her. Anyway, no longer will she be the pure Kyoko he always knew instead she will become his worst enemy, at least she hopes so. In order to achieve her goal though, she must become the best actress in the entertainment world. To become the top actress, Kyoko must change herself. Thus, her adventures in the anime heavy focus on her trying to change. Many obstacles come in her way such as Tsuruga Ren. Additionally, she struggles with not believing in love and despises the thought of loving someone. However, she is perfectly fine with liking other people as friends. She is a complicated individual who still believes in fairy tail stories, likes all types of cute stuff relating to fairy tails. As a side note, she is very determined person which I wish I could be. Then again, her determination stems from wanting revenge against sho which is a bad reason to want to change yourself. Of course throughout the anime, she succeeds in changing herself in a good way but there is still that part of her that cannot accept loving someone because of the scar left by Sho. In a way, I been harboring similar feelings felt by Kyoko. I want to change myself just like Kyoko but not for revenge. I want to become a better person for the sake of being a better person. Although, I wish the most that I had Kyoko enthusiasm and demeanor to out right show her feelings of distinguish and hatred. Instead for some reason I still like the thought of pleasing other people other than my own. It is a struggle that I am going through along with mental health issues. Overall Kyoko with her randomness. Moving along, this is a somewhat serious anime dealing with Kyoko's problems but it still reflects her struggles trying to accept a new love and dealing with Sho. It also, reflects a lot of comedic moments that never deal with panty shots or inappropriate sexual scenes which I am really happy about. As you all can tell, I hate those types of scenes and it will most likely feel out of place in this anime. If I had to sum up how this anime felt in few words, I would say it felt like a drama romantic comedy anime. In fact, I might have made it seem too much of a serious anime. On the contrary, I laughed so hard, I couldn't breathe. I also couldn't think of anything that I dislike about the anime, except for one thing. The ending was bad to me personally. It left me with a feeling that there was still a lot of things left over as well as didn't answer the question if Kyoko will end up with Sho or Ren. Plus, I read the manga and the anime really did leave off at a place that was bad. Furthermore, she was getting better at acting and would have met one of her greatest enemy in her struggles, if the anime had continued a little longer. On the plus side, there wasn't anything else that the anime struggled with. Music in Skip Beat! was awesome and melt perfectly in each and every scene in the anime. Although sadly, there is only the Japanese voice cast right now for the anime. So, don't expect any English dub to come out soon. Animation: 4/5 Sound/Music: 5/5 Story: 5/5 Characters: 5/5 Overall: 5/5 On the top of my head, I simply cannot think of an anime series that have strong comedic female lead but I can think of another anime that has a strong female character and a funny female lead: Twelve Kingdoms: A serious story anime that has a strong female character. A lot of philosocial elements are also in the anime that might touch upon your feels. Lovely complex: A funny romantic comedy that has a funny female lead. Story-line deals with both the male lead and female lead having a complex about their heights. Where can you watch the anime?: Crunchyroll Hey, if you are bored check out TheAwsome who is posting some a review tomorrow. I couldn't make this a story like review but at least it didn't have too many spoilers. Anyway, follow me on otakuelite or follow me on twitter @ Albelcasting.

Comment to Love Hina
You're right I should have posted spoilers but now you know that the manga is better. >:]
Created blog entry Love Hina
Keitaro and Naru in his fantasy. Pretty much sums up this anime. The main character Keitaro Urashima has failed twice to enter Tokyo University; he really wanted to marry his childhood friend who he does not remember.To make matters worse, his parents are forcing Keitaro to move out. Lucky for Keitaro, he received a phone call from his grandmother to visit the Hinata Inn. Once he arrives there, he learns the Inn has become a female dormitory and he has an opportunity to become the manager. Thus our comedic story begins... Keep in mind, Keitaro does not remember what the name of his childhood friend is. So, he has to put together the pieces in his mind to figure out who his childhood friend is and succeed in getting into Tokyo University. Therefore, most of the anime storyline takes place between him battling his wits over Tokyo University and solving his past. Moving along here, there are some female characters that distract him at time but it is quite clear in the anime that Naru and Keitaro will hook up eventually. All that is needed is simply for both of them to admit that they like each other. Granted I did feel there was a possibly he was going to hook up with Mutsumi but she just wanted Naru and Keitaro to have a relationship together:-marriage. They really could have used mutsumi more but oh well. Anyway, really do enjoy the comedy the most in the anime rather than the story-line. Naru constantly hits Keitaro, deserves it for being an idiot. Also, there are those moments where the misunderstandings about relationships are funny. I would really like to go into more details about how funny this anime is but disclosing about the jokes is not fun for people. Bear in mind though, that most of the jokes are sort of sexual and misunderstandings. Overall Sample of the comedy Love Hina is a perfect anime except for a few things. First off, the English dub is really terrible. Secondly, the anime quality isn't the best if you are used to the more modern anime but may be unique to you then. Thirdly, the opening of the anime is great but the rest of the music is disappointing. Finally, the ending of the anime wasn't good. In fact, you should read the manga for a better ending. Plus, you get to see Naru in her wedding dress: Spoilers. Animation: 3/5 Story: 4/5 Characters: 5/5 Sound/Music: 3/5 Overall: 4/5 The following are good anime recommendations: Negmia: Similar style but a better harem, you want that right? To love ru: A modern take on anime fill with panty shots for your delight. Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai: Similar to the harem type of setting but more focus on one male and female lead as well. Review is short today because I am experimenting. Every review of mine will be slightly different, can you guys tell? Visit TheAwosome by the way when you guys are finished reading.

Kansas Cosmosphere Space Center
What is now one of the world’s premier space museums was once the dream of a Hutchinson civic leader, Patricia Brooks Carey. Her vision to create one of the first public planetariums in the central United States had humble beginnings. In 1962, the Hutchinson Planetarium opened inside the Poultry Building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds with a used star projector and rented folding chairs.
Four years later, the Hutchinson Planetarium relocated to the campus of Hutchinson Community College, in what today houses Dr. Goddard’s Lab.
In 1976, Carey and the Hutchinson Planetarium’s board of directors began planning to significantly expand the facility. They sought the advice of former employee Max Ary, who had worked for the planetarium while going to college. Ary was the director of Ft. Worth’s Noble Planetarium at the time and happened to be serving on a Smithsonian committee that placed tens of thousands of space artifacts in museums after the Apollo program concluded.
So the Cosmosphere was in the right place at the right time.
Launched as the Kansas Cosmosphere and Discover Center in 1980, the new facility featured permanent exhibit galleries in the Hall of Space Museum, one of the first OMNIMAX theaters in the world and the planetarium that started it all.
In 1997, the facility was further renovated and expanded to its present size, 105,000 square feet, nearly tripling the area devoted to the Hall of Space Museum. Today the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center is one of the most comprehensive space museums in the world and one of the leading educational tourist attractions in the United States.

Little River –History
This tract of land was in use well before the incorporation of the city in 1886. Little River (so named for the tributary the M&M Branch Line of the Santa Fe railroad crossed) was a town site platted by the The Arkansas Valley Town and Land Company in November, 1880. The railroad was completed in the spring of 1880 and the first train passed through from Florence to Ellinwood on June 1, 1880.
During the construction phase of the railroad, many of the laborers boarded at a ranch house on a hill just west of the new town site. The house was occupied by the H.B. Hodges family and they fed the railroad workers before there was a town of Little River. In the late 1880’s, Cyrus Clutter purchased this farm and buildings. Upon Mr. Clutter’s death, the farm passed on to his daughter, Edna Clutter Perry and her husband Percy Perry. This tract has been known as Clutter Hill since 1900. Percy and his son Paul deeded off tracts of this property for the construction of Sandstone Heights Nursing Home, a grass airstrip used in the 50’s and 60’s and later for two homes built by Bill Hicks and Clair Cordell. The original boarding house had been converted to a barn and was still standing along with a granary until these homes were being built. A large portion of Clutter Hill to the north was deeded to Sentry Underground for the purpose of hydrocarbon storage. This property is currently owned by Ferrell Gas.
The name Clutter Hill has some historical significance for Little River and to sustain that historical naming, two primary streets in the subdivision are named for well-known philanthropists, George Hoffman and W.H. Burke (Hoffman Court and Burke Lane). Their contributions to Little River were many with the most notable the Burke Hotel (still standing) built in 1921, and the Hoffman Memorial Hospital now the site of City Hall.
In January of 2006, what remained of the original Clutter Hill tract was obtained from the Perry family by the Little River Development Group (LRDG), with a vision for an expansion of home building sites in Little River. A grant from the Little River Community Fund was awarded to the LRDG. The parcel was subsequently annexed by the city, bids were obtained for construction and a final award was granted on May 24, 2010. Construction started on July 1, 2010 and a projected completion date is December 1, 2010. The Subdivision has concrete streets, curb and gutter, city sewer, gas and water, and is served by state-of-the-art fiber optics communication lines.

Trojans clinch EPC South title
Thursday, October 26, 2017 by CJ HEMERLY Special to the Press in Sports
Last season, the Parkland football team dropped the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference South Division championship in the final week of the regular season, on the very last play.
This year, the Trojans made sure it didn’t come down to something like that again.
Senior running back Jahan Worth rushed for two touchdowns and senior quarterback Michael Ruisch threw for three scores, including two to his favorite target Tyler Hays, as Parkland remained undefeated and took down Northampton last Friday night 48-6 at Northampton High School.
Worth, one night after committing to Division I Duquesne University for football, tallied 88 yards and the game’s first touchdown, coming from 29 yards away.
His second score of the night came on the first play of the second quarter. Running mate Joey Guida scored less than three minutes later to give the Trojans (9-0 overall, 7-0 EPC South) a commanding 28-0 lead midway through the first half.
A common connection for the Parkland offense has been Ruisch over the top to Hays. The first touchdown between the two went for 71 yards midway through the first quarter. It was a perfectly-lofted ball that landed in the waiting arms of Hays, who was streaking down the field.
“They were mostly playing cover-three, and Tyler just beat them down the field,” said Ruisch. “I knew he would have it. That was the game plan, to go to him deep, and it worked out.”
“Our play-calling has helped me be successful because our coaches want to go for the deep ball,” Hays said. “If my defender is playing off, I’ll try to make a move and then just beat him down the field. Michael has made plenty of great throws that help my numbers too.”
Once again, Ruisch has answered when his number has been called. Two weekends ago, in the win against Pocono Mountain East, he threw four touchdowns.
“I haven’t been sacked since the Liberty game (Sept. 8),” Ruisch said. “That’s a testament to the offensive line. They keep me comfortable in the pocket, and that helps me keep my confidence level high. My wide receivers have been catching everything I throw their way, and make me look good.”
Hays missed all of the 2016 season because of injury. But to the common fan, it looks like he hasn’t skipped a beat.
“We always work hard in the offseason at Parkland,” said Hays. “I’ve been playing with all of these guys since JV [during] freshmen year. So I’m not new, and it didn’t take long to get comfortable with the offense.”
Ruisch also had another receiver find the end zone. He had a 24-yard touchdown pass to Nick Johnston late in third quarter for Johnston’s first career score.
Junior running back Dominick Nelson also found pay dirt, giving Parkland three running backs that scored touchdowns. Nelson’s was from four yards out on the first drive of the fourth quarter.
The Trojans are undefeated and haven’t really had any close games with every game decided by at least 10 points. They have clinched EPC South Division and the number one seed in districts.
“It’s great to be off to this start, especially with a lot of us in our senior years,” said Hays. “We’ve been together since freshmen year, and have been working hard to be the best we could be senior year. We want to prove what we can do. And there’s more to be done.”
The anticipated matchup with rival Emmaus awaits Friday night on senior night at Parkland School District Stadium.

Hunter Azure ‘definitely’ going to finish Lynn Schulz at LFA 66
After closing out his 2018 campaign with an unblemished record, bantamweight up and comer Hunter Azure was looking to keep his winning streak going when he faced Jaime Hernandez at LFA 59 in February.
In a bout that lasted just over two minutes, Azure was able to use an aggressiveness he had not shown in his previous fight versus A.J. Robb three months earlier to pick up a TKO win over Hernandez.
“I feel like I did pretty good,” Azure told MMAWeekly.com. “I had to go out there and be composed and stay relaxed. Just make sure my cardio and stuff was still there. It was a good win for me.
“It felt good to get back to finishing ways. I was a little too hesitant and stuff against A.J., and I held back a lot. I was trying to get back in there and let things fly a little more. I felt a little wild, but it felt good to let those things fly and get a finish.”
Training at the MMA Lab in Arizona, Azure feels like a far superior fighter to the one he was when he turned pro in August, 2017.
“It’s a big difference from two years ago,” said Azure. “Especially the Lab has changed me as a fighter and a person.
“I don’t feel like I was exactly ready for my first pro fight. Mentally, physically, and at a different weight class now, I just feel like a whole new, well-rounded, fighter.”
On Friday in West Valley City, Utah, Azure (5-0) will seek to remain undefeated when he faces Lynn Schulz (6-4) in a main card 135-pound bout at LFA 66.

“The guy has a little experience with 10 fights and hasn’t been finished before,” Azure said of Schulz. “I have to take it like I do each fight: I’ve got to go in there and fight my fight, drag him into my pace, and stay in control.
“I’m definitely going to go out there and get another finish and get those rolling. I think it will look good with him not having been finished before.”
Though Azure is the type of fighter to take things as they come, he does acknowledge that he’s like an opportunity to move up to the next level of his career before 2019 is over.
“I take it fight by fight,” said Azure. “I let my coaches and manager decide what the next step is going to be for me. I like a hard road. It helps motivate me; helps get me in the gym pushing myself every day. I don’t want it easy, that’s for sure.
“I want to get into the UFC, so whatever fights I have to take and whatever I have to do to get in there I’m willing to do it.”

Kaetlyn Osmond and her Canadian teammates are assured of at least a silver medal in the inaugural team figure skating event at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Osmond, of Marystown, N.L., fell in the middle of her routine and placed fifth in the ladies free skate at Iceberg Skating Palace (110.73 points), but that was all the Canadians needed after a strong performance by Kevin Reynolds in the mens free earlier Sunday. Reynolds scored 167.92, after replacing Patrick Chan who was third in the mens short program Thursday. Russia is guaranteed the gold medal after a sensational skate by teenage phenom Yulia Lipnitskaya, who pleased the partisan crowd and dominated her competition with a first-place score of 141.51. The Americans locked up bronze after a phenomenal performance by Gracie Gold, who was replacing Ashley Wagner (who competed in the short program). Golds score of 129.38 was good enough for second in the event. Italys Valentina Marchei (112.51) and Akiko Suzuki (112.33) of Japan, were fourth and fifth, respectively. Russias 67 points made it mathematically impossible for Canada (56 points) to take them down in the ice dance free, in which Americans Charlie White and Meryl Davis set a world record with a score of 114.34.

Trucker: Dundurn is Convenient But Not Necessary
By RTH Staff
As part of its presentation to yesterday's Public Works Committee meeting on the Truck Route Master Plan Study, the Strathcona Community Council included a letter by a tractor trailer operator explaining why he uses Dundurn Street North and offering some insights into the truck route proposal.
I travel from the industrial area in Hamilton to Brantford and back and have found Dundurn to be convenient, but not necessary. Here's why.
Heading south on Dundurn from York is a fairly easy turn. I could go south on Queen instead, but I never have as I envisioned it to be a difficult turn. Today I tested Queen and was surprised to find it a much easier turn than Dundurn. I won't be using Dundurn anymore.
Actually, turning south on Queen isn't even essential anymore, because of the Red Hill Expressway. It takes exactly the same amount of time to take the Red Hill and Linc to access the 403 to Brantford.
Leaving the 403 off ramps to Main to turn left on Dundurn is not worth the trouble. It is difficult to fight cars and bicycles while cutting across lanes to get there. You also need one and a half lanes to make the left turn. It's hard to make car drivers understand this.
Continuing north on Dundurn, the right turn to York is nearly impossible without striking curbs while using a 53" trailer. Also, there is no reason for a truck to head north in the narrow lanes of Dundurn North. There is nothing there that a trucker could want. No industry, nothing, just Dundurn Castle.
Every trucker takes Main and turns left at Victoria or the Linc/Red Hill instead to head back to the industrial area.
The only remaining question is in regards to trucks leaving the small industrial area in the Dundurn South neighbourhood near the Spectator and Beer Store. Northbound trucks will need to continue to turn left on King to access the 403 unless an alternative is offered, and I'm sure there are alternatives.
We already can't drive along King from Victoria to Bay. That's OK. We adapt. That is the life of a trucker, we know that.
Bottom line: There is never any reason for a truck to travel on Dundurn north between King and York in either direction. We truck drivers are professionals who can adapt to any route and we are paid to do so. These days we have GPS that can get us out of any difficult situation. The Dundurn North neighbourhood is a jewel in the lower city. Let's keep it that way.
Mr. Wells' observations - that truckers drive through the city because it's more convenient and that they would choose the city's ring highway if it were less convenient - are a welcome contribution to the debate that strongly support the arguments we have been making on RTH with regards to trucks using city streets as a shortcut.

Hmmm, where have I heard that before? I applaud Mr. Wells for his honesty and forward thinking on this matter. Perhaps he could run for president of the chamber of commerce someday.

BREAKING: Sanwo-Olu Wins Polling Unit, Says APC Sure Of Victory
The Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) standard bearer for the governorship election, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, delivered his Polling Unit for his party, saying he is expecting to be victorious when the overall results of the elections are officially announced.
APC polled a total of 124 votes, while the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), garnered 26 votes at the Unit 019, Lateef Jakande Avenue/Femi Okunnu in Ikoyi II.
Sanwo-Olu, who arrived at his Polling Unit in company with his wife, Dr. Ibijoke at 10:33am, described the process as “generally peaceful”, despite pockets of delays recorded in some parts of the state.
‘’I think the whole process has been generally peaceful. Reports coming in from our party agents from across the State show that all is going on well save some areas where they are experiencing minor delays.’’
Speaking to reporters after he voted, Sanwo-Olu said he was confident of victory, having traversed the length and breadth of the state during the campaign and felt the pulse of the voters.
He said: “Exactly six months ago today, I picked the APC gubernatorial nomination form to contest in this election. I have done a thorough campaign. I went to every nook and cranny of the state to meet voters and stakeholders. I listened to everybody and heard their concerns. Given all of these, it means that we are better prepared to earn the confidence of Lagosians. So, I am confident of victory at the end of this process.”
Asked what he will do if the outcome does not favour him, Sanwo-Olu said the election was never a do-or-die affair for him, urging voters to engage peacefully and desist from acts that may lead to the cancellation of the results. He added that the outcome would reflect the wishes of the people.
Initially, there were minor glitches when the election started at Sanwo-Olu’s polling unit. A card reader did not function properly, leading to complaints among voters. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) technical staff at the unit immediately intervened and reset the malfunctioning card reader. The process went on smoothly thereafter.

Stray Bullet Kills Lagos Street Cleaner As SARS, Armed Robbers Engage In Gun Battle
Peter Okunoren
Stray bullet on Monday morning killed a cleaner identifies as Francis during a gun duel between suspected armed robbers and operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Ilupeju, Lagos.
There were conflicting information on the source of the bullet as eyewitnesses accused SARS of being responsible for the death of Francis, said to be a cleaner around 7:30 am at Ladipo near Ajisegiri Street Ilupeju.
The deceased was said to be going about his routine business when the bullet hit and killed him on the spot.
It was gathered that the police had taken an alleged notorious suspect Ikechukwu Monye, 39, to the neighbourhood for identification of his gang’s armoury but they were attacked by his alleged members in a bid to scuttle the operation.
Ilupeju has experienced violent cult clashes especially between rival groups Eiye and Aiye in recent times that have left no fewer than six persons killed.
There have also been allegations of armed robbery, rape and extortion against hoodlums in the area extending to Onipanu and Mushin.
Reacting to the incident, the police said the hoodlums released gunshots upon sighting the SARS team and killed the cleaner in the process.
A statement by spokesman Bala Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) said the assailants shot sporadically and in the process killed a middle-aged man who was passing by.
“Reinforcement was quickly drafted to the scene. The whole area is cordoned with a view to apprehending the members of the gang and bring them to justice.
“The gang in question is responsible for a series of robberies within Ilupeju and environ. They have been on the wanted list of the police for the murder of six persons during three robbery operations that they carried out.
“The command condemned in totality, the senseless killings of innocent persons by those criminal elements and will not tolerate attacks on its personnel by criminals.
“The command has vowed to bring an end to the activities of this deadly gang. Members of the public are enjoyed to remain calm as the command has intensified patrols and surveillance in the affected areas.
“The corpse of the victim of this violent attack has been removed and deposited at the mortuary for post mortem examination. The command extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased person and assured them that justice will prevail,” he said.
BREAKING: Senate To Back Deployment Of Soldiers To Highways
Following the recent security issues in the country, the Senate may support the deployment of soldiers to highways across the country.
The Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, dropped this hint when he spoke with State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, on Monday.
Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, at the weekend had canvassed for the deployment of soldiers.
He said: “Absolutely. On a good day, it is not something we would encourage because as much as possible you will want to keep the military in the barracks but because of the exigencies of the moment, we have no choice but to encourage that.
“Nigerians need to be assured of their safety at all times, that is the essence of governance as guaranteed by the constitution.
“Therefore as canvassed and indeed ordered by the Vice President, that we have the army provide security at the checkpoints, if that will go along way to prevent this kidnapping and banditry, why not?” he queried
He said that the Senate has taken a position on the banditry in the northern part of the country.
“We are not happy like most Nigerians about what is going on in places most especially Zamfara. We believe that the head of the security architecture in Zamfara being the commissioner of police can do more than they have already done.
“We are encouraging them to do that because Mr. President has provided everything that ought to be given to them, everything in terms of funding received, in terms of acquisition of weaponry to that has been provided for them.
“It is now left for them to justify the positions they hold in Zamfara, and other states of course,” he added
BREAKING: Obasanjo Laments State Of The Nation In New Open Letter To Buhari, Raise Concern On Four Avoidable Calamities [READ]
Former President, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo, on Monday, wrote another open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari.
He lamented the state of the nation while calling for urgent actions to tackle Nigeria’s challenges.
The letter released by Kehinde Akinyemi, his Special Assistant on Media, reads:
OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT, GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI
I am constrained to write to you this open letter. I decided to make it an open letter because the issue is very weighty and must be greatly worrisome to all concerned Nigerians and that means all right-thinking Nigerians and those residents in Nigeria. Since the issue is of momentous concern to all well-meaning and all right-thinking Nigerians, it must be of great concern to you, and collective thinking and dialoguing is the best way of finding an appropriate and adequate solution to the problem. The contents of this letter, therefore, should be available to all those who can help in proffering effective solutions for the problem of insecurity in the land.
One of the spinoffs and accelerants is the misinformation and disinformation through the use of fake news. A number of articles, in recent days, have been attributed to me by some people who I believe may be seeking added credence and an attentive audience for their opinions and viewpoints. As you know very well, I will always boldly own what I say and disown what is put into my mouth. But the issue I am addressing here is very serious; it is the issue of life and death for all of us and for our dear country, Nigeria. This issue can no longer be ignored, treated with nonchalance, swept under the carpet or treated with cuddling glove. The issue is hitting at the foundation of our existence as Nigerians and fast eroding the root of our Nigerian community. I am very much worried and afraid that we are on the precipice and dangerously reaching a tipping point where it may no longer be possible to hold danger at bay. Without being immodest, as a Nigerian who still bears the scar of the Nigerian civil war on my body and with a son who bears the scar of fighting Boko Haram on his body, you can understand, I hope, why I am so concerned. When people are desperate and feel that they cannot have confidence in the ability of government to provide security for their lives and properties, they will take recourse to anything and everything that can guarantee their security individually and collectively.
For over ten years, for four of which you have been the captain of the ship, Boko Haram has menacingly ravaged the land and in spite of government’s claim of victory over Boko Haram, the potency and the activities of Boko Haram, where they are active, remain undiminished, putting lie to government’s claim. The recent explanation of the Chief of Army Staff for non-victory due to lack of commitment and lack of motivation on the part of troops bordering on sabotage speaks for itself. Say what you will, Boko Haram is still a daily issue of insecurity for those who are victimized, killed, maimed, kidnapped, raped, sold into slavery and forced into marriage and for children forcibly recruited into carrying bombs on them to detonate among crowds of people to cause maximum destructions and damage. And Boko Haram will not go away on the basis of sticks alone, carrots must overweigh sticks. How else do you deal with issues such as only about 50% literacy in North-East with over 70% unemployment?
Herdsmen/farmers crises and menace started with the government treating the issue with cuddling glove instead of a hammer. It has festered and spread. Today, it has developed into banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery and killings all over the country. The unfortunate situation is that the criminality is being perceived as a ‘Fulani’ menace unleashed by Fulani elite in the different parts of the country for a number of reasons but even more, unfortunately, many Nigerians and non-Nigerians who are friends of Nigeria attach vicarious responsibility to you as a Fulani elite and the current captain of the Nigeria ship. Perception may be as potent as reality at times. Whatever may be the grievances of Fulanis, if any, they need to be put out in the open and their grievances, if legitimate, be addressed; and if other ethnic groups have grievances, let them also be brought out in the open and addressed through debate and dialogue.
The main issue, if I may dare say, is poor management or mismanagement of diversity which, on the other hand, is one of our greatest and most important assets. As a result, very onerous cloud is gathering. And rain of destruction, violence, disaster and disunity can only be the outcome. Nothing should be taken for granted, the clock is ticking with the cacophony of dissatisfaction and disaffection everywhere in and outside the country. The Presidency and the Congress in the US have signalled to us to put our house in order. The House of Lords in the UK had debated the Nigerian security situation. We must understand and appreciate the significance, implication and likely consequences of such concerns and deliberations.
No one can stop hate speech, violent agitation and smouldering violent agitation if he fans the embers of hatred, disaffection and violence. It will continue to snowball until it is out of control. A stitch in time saves nine, goes the old wise saying.
With the death of Funke, Chief Fasoranti’s daughter, some sympathetic Nigerian groups are saying “enough is enough”. Prof. Anya, a distinguished Nigerian merit Laureate, has this to say “We can no longer say with certainty that we have a nation”. Niger-Delta leaders, South-Eastern leaders, Middle-Belt leaders and Northern Elders Forum have not remained quiet. Different ordinary Nigerians at home and abroad are calling for different measures to address or ameliorate the situation. All the calls and cries can only continue to be ignored at the expense of Nigerian unity, if not its continued existence.
To be explicit and without equivocation, Mr. President and General, I am deeply worried about four avoidable calamities:
abandoning Nigeria into the hands of criminals who are all being suspected, rightly or wrongly, as Fulanis and terrorists of Boko Haram type;
spontaneous or planned reprisal attacks against Fulanis which may inadvertently or advertently mushroom into pogrom or Rwanda-type genocide that we did not believe could happen and yet it happened.
similar attacks against any other tribe or ethnic group anywhere in the country initiated by rumours, fears, intimidation and revenge capable of leading to pogrom;
violent uprising beginning from one section of the country and spreading quickly to other areas and leading to dismemberment of the country.
It happened to Yugoslavia not too long ago. If we do not act now, one or all of these scenarios may happen. We must pray and take effective actions at the same time. The initiative is in the hands of the President of the nation, but he cannot do it alone. In my part of the world, if you are sharpening your cutlass and a mad man comes from behind to take the cutlass from you, you need other people’s assistance to have your cutlass back without being harmed. The mad men with serious criminal intent and terrorism as core value have taken cutlass of security. The need for assistance to regain control is obviously compelling and must be embraced now.
A couple of weeks ago at a public lecture, I had said, among other things, that:
“In all these issues of mobilisation for national unity, stability, security, cooperation, development, growth and progress, there is no consensus. Like in the issue of security, government should open up discussion, debate and dialogue as part of consultation at different levels and the outcome of such deliberations should be collated to form inputs into a national conference to come up with the solution that will effectively deal with the issues and lead to rapid development, growth and progress which will give us a wholesome society and enhanced living standard and livelihood in an inclusive and shared society. It will be a national programme. We need unity of purpose and nationally accepted strategic roadmap that will not change with whims and caprices of any government. It must be owned by the citizens, people’s policy and strategy implemented by the government no matter its colour and leaning.
Some of the groups that I will suggest to be contacted are: traditional rulers, past heads of service (no matter how competent or incompetent they have been and how much they have contributed to the mess we are in), past heads of para-military organisations, private sector, civil society, community leaders particularly in the most affected areas, present and past governors, present and past local government leaders, religious leaders, past Heads of State, past intelligence chiefs, past Heads of Civil Service and relevant current and retired diplomats, members of opposition and any groups that may be deemed relevant.”
The President must be seen to be addressing this issue with utmost seriousness and with maximum dispatch and getting all hands on deck to help. If there is failure, the principal responsibility will be that of the President and no one else. We need cohesion and concentration of effort and maximum force – political, economic, social, psychological and military – to deal successfully with the menace of criminality and terrorism separately and together. Blame game among own forces must be avoided. It is debilitating and only helpful to our adversary. We cannot dither anymore. It is time to confront this threat headlong and in a manner that is holistic, inclusive and purposeful.
For the sake of Nigeria and Nigerians, I pray that God may grant you, as our President, the wisdom, the understanding, the political will and the courage to do what is right when it is right and without fear or favour. May God save, secure, protect and bless Nigeria. May He open to us a window of opportunity that we can still use to prevent the worst happening. As we say in my village, “May God forbid bad thing”.

DHRMN Welcomes the Understanding of Seven Political Parties Alliance and
Defend Human Rights Movement – Nepal (DHRMN)
CPN (Maoists), and Urged for their Commitment towards Enforcement
November 24, 2005, Kathmandu translated from Nepali statement
We, the Defend Human Rights Movement- Nepal welcome the understanding of November 22, 2005 between the seven political parties and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) aiming to establish complete democracy in the country by ending autocracy.
We believe that this understanding demonstrates the positive steps to end an ongoing violent conflict in the country through constituent assembly election, which recognizes the fundamental principles and norms of democracy such as multiparty polity, civil liberties, human rights, rule of law, fundamental rights etc. We are also convinced that this understanding would be instrumental to create trustworthy environment among political forces and ensure sustainable peace by establishing democracy, while it accepts the holding of constituent assembly election after ending autocratic monarchy; the armed Maoist force and the royal army under the supervision of the United Nations or any other reliable international supervision, to conclude the elections in a free and fair manner and accept the result of the elections.
We call upon seven political parties alliance and CPN-Maoists to honestly implement the strategies and norms of this forward moving understanding to resolve nearly 10 years old conflict through peaceful negotiation that ends autocracy and establishes democracy. We also urge with them to compulsorily address towards respect, safeguard and enforcement of human rights and humanitarian laws in any forthcoming political understanding.

Weaver and WTO
Varanasi, previously known as Benaras has been a centre of production of handloom silk since centuries. The Varanasi silk fabrics have been eulogized in scriptures and ancient books both in the Hindu as well as in the Buddhist eras. In spite of the flourishing trade, the weaver of dream sarees was and is still working in pathetic conditions and living a life of abject poverty.
The production technology more or less, has also remained ancient-pit type handloom where the weaver sits with his legs in the pit. The textile industry here is synonymous with silk sari industry as more than ninety five percent of the products are silk saris. During the medieval period skilled Muslim weavers from the West Asian countries came to India along with Moguls. These weavers found Varanasi complementing to their art of intricate pattern of weaving and settled there under the patronage of the then Muslim rulers.
The fusion of Hindu design pattern with the Muslim ones aided by the local climate conducive to silk handloom weaving, put Varanasi at the helm of silk weaving activities. The artistic ingenuity of the artisans and the changing market trends has resulted in a great variety of the Banaras silk fabric. Generally the quality and type of silk fabric indicates the weavers' occupational status and artisanship. The better quality and high priced fabric requires greater artisanship, labour and financial investment. No two sarees are the similar in quality, colour combination, design or pattern. As a result, there can be no uniformity in rates, which has become a cause for rampant exploitation.
Being a pilgrimage city it attracted lots of tourists who provided market to the produce. The Varanasi silk saris are characterised by their intricate pattern of weaving and heavy zari art work.
No authoritative survey has been done so far to ascertain the number of looms and the weavers' thereof. According to a survey conducted by the U.P. Handloom Corporation in 1995-96, it reported 75,313 handlooms and 1758 power looms in the district with number of handloom weavers placed at 1,24,832 and 2645 power looms workers. However, as per industry sources, presently the number of looms and the weavers are many times more than the estimates of UP Handloom Corporation.
Impact of globalisation on the Banarasi Saree Sector and wages
The demand of finished sarees has gone down over the years. Since the 1990s’ the labour wages have declined to about half of what they were earlier. The saree quality has gone up, compared to what they were those days. Also, in earlier days, the sarees used to be of 5 metres, but now they are 6 metres, while wages have not shown any commensurate increase. Also, the power looms are snatching the work from the laps of the weavers. Middlemen and Gaddidars are living like parasites on their earnings.
Shopkeepers on the one hand give difficult designs to weavers and on the other claim that there are no buyers for the finished products. Such excuses using the vulnerability of weavers are often used to further tighten the noose on the necks of the weavers, as any cutbacks in number of orders has a crippling effect on their already precarious economic status. Thus weavers assume a greater onus of getting the work. Also they have additional tasks these days, such as cutting of jacard cardboard designs, which was earlier, not their responsibility.
A weaver sits from 8:00 AM till 6:00 PM for 10 to 12 days and earns approximately Rs. 350/- on one saree, which gets produced in this much time. During this period, he takes help for all the Nari, Dharki and Anta filling needed for the job, from his family – primarily the womenfolk in the household, thus reducing them to the status of unpaid workers. Though important, these tasks are not given the status and value that they deserve, and are usually not included when the pricing of the saree / labour wage fixing is done. According to activist and thinker Ms. Muniza Khan of the Gandhian Institute of Studies, Varanasi, “ The plight of women is such that even if they earn Rs.10/- they do not have the right to spend it. They work, trapped in dark hovels like chicken. Their contribution does not have the kind of recognition that it deserves. Their contribution is not accounted for while the product pricing is done. There has been no work done with women, and for any change to happen in the sector, their education, organisation and struggle for their rights will need utmost priority.”
The story of the raw material is no better. As regards the availability of raw silk, it appears that the industry is going through a phase of crisis. There is often an artificial scarcity of raw material created by traders. If a small weaver was to go to the market to buy silk, then it would be difficult for him/her to buy in larger quantities, by way of buying a gathia (bundle)- which normally has 5-6 kilograms of raw silk. The smaller weavers cannot buy in such huge quantities, because they do not have the purchasing power and because they do not have enough business in which the raw silk, if purchased could be used. This indicates that the interventions by the government co-operatives or community cooperatives in helping the weavers to gain easy access to the most important raw material i.e. silk, has been not of much positive consequence, as the small and marginal weavers are left out in the bargain. They also do not have enough money at their disposal to block it by way of purchase of raw silk at the so-called subsidised rates offered by the cooperative. It is apparent that, the whole structure of the co-operatives is to allow the bigger weavers to take the advantage of the subsidy offered.
Bangalore silk is good but expensive. Earlier it was an important raw material, as it used to be available in abundance, and that too at cheap prices. Prior to 1990, the cost of this silk used to be Rs. 100/- per kg. Now it is available at over Rs 1500/- per kg. The entry of the multinationals is doing harm to the sector. Imported Chinese silk is cheaper. Chinese silk, brought in from Nepal, is available at Rs. 1100/- per kg, and hence it has become the choice of most artisans. While multinational players are being given a free hand to operate, potentially weaver friendly institutions such as cooperatives are being allowed to decay, at the cost of the marginalised weaver.
Surat produces artificial silk thread, which is available at a much lower cost. Also, the Banarasi saree designs are being copied and duplicate Banarsi sarees are being produced, using artificial material. Entry of artificial silk has hurt the sector in terms of reduced business. This puts pressure to reduce the cost of the finished Banarasi saree in the market. As the middlemen and shopkeepers do not forsake their profits, the weakest link, i.e. the saree weaver has to bear the brunt, in terms of reduced wages.
The low economic status of the weavers is due to a number of factors. When the product is substandard or the product loses its demand in the market, the weaver has to sell it at a price that may not even cover his labour cost. In the weaving industry, imitation is not valued. The product with a unique design, pattern and texture commands a high price. As soon as the design is copied, the product gets devalued. The weaver has to bear this loss. Change of product invariably involves substantial investment that affects the weavers adversely. Power operated looms also compound the problem, as an electricity connection is not easy to come by. Moreover, continued declared and undeclared power cuts add to the agony.
Migration to other cities / trades
The exploitation in the sector has reached such serious proportions, the many skilled artisans have left weaving and begun to do other work, such as pulling rickshaws, making incense sticks, peeling and selling green chanas (seasonal work), and the women have begun to do domestic labour in the homes of middle class families in their neighbourhood. In addition, weavers are leaving Varanasi and migrating to Surat. This is due to the better status of weavers in that city, which has a better demand for their products and provides better wages for their work. In fact in Surat, many weavers are ironically joining the ‘duplicate’ Banarasi saree manufacturing process, as it is becoming increasingly economically viable to do that. Influx of thousands of ‘unskilled’ workers into weaving from the rural hinterland due to exigencies in their areas coupled with the abandoning of the sector by rare skilled crafts persons, if left unchecked can sound the death knell of the sector itself, thus depriving humankind of one of its finest traditions.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
To strengthen the workers groups and improve the lot of unorganised sector workers, especially women, concentrated efforts are needed from multi-stakeholders, including civil society organisations, govt., workers’ unions, media, corporate sector and others.
Given in Table – 1, is the summary of the main problems affecting the Banarasi Saree Weaving Sector. At a glance, we can also understand the problems, the larger issue involved, the affected sections, the perpetrators and some recommendations to deal with the problems. Detailed recommendations follow the table.

From Outlook:
Looms Of Doom
A foreign fabric has silenced the looms of the local weavers, reduced them to poverty and killed an art
SUTAPA MUKERJEE
Raziya Biwi is angry. "My three-year-old son is dying of starvation. My husband lies unconscious beside him. My remaining six children are now beggars. The youngest feeds only on sugar and water as I'm incapable of feeding him." Over the past two years, she and her husband Nurool Haq have done everything from selling her jewellery and a small plot that they owned; the money is gone now and they are starving. "Who knows who will die and who will live?" she ponders miserably.
Raziya and her husband were once the pride of their village. The owner of five looms, he made enough to keep all nine members of his family content. Neighbours recollect how pretty she looked every Id in her best clothes and jewellery. Now she stands in shreds. Nurool is suffering from acute anaemia according to doctors. "But we have no money for the treatment," sighs Raziya. They have been out of business for the last 27 months as there are very few takers for the Varanasi silks they wove for a living.
Three doors away, Mohammed Umair, another weaver, tried being a little more enterprising but to little avail. With no work after his loom owner shut shop and migrated, he began selling his blood. In less than six months, he had sold his blood 13 times. Now suffering from tuberculosis he says, "Sarkar ne to mera khoon bhi kharab kar diya (The government has even contaminated my blood)." Several of Umair's friends from Bajedian village also began selling their blood for cash only to fall afoul of the authorities. "Some doctor leaked the news, we were penalised and the police warned us stating it was illegal," says Rafique, another accomplice.
Others have become even more desperate. In Kotwan village, Ghulam Rasool and Raziya Biwi sold Subhan Ali, their two-month-old son, for Rs 2,000. "At least I knew the buyer—a distant relative who has the means to look after Subhan. The thought that he could feed him was of some consolation," she admits.
Today with their son back at home, the couple earns from a vegetable shop in the village. "No matter what happens, I'm not going back to becoming a weaver," says Ghulam who feels obliged to the government for getting his son back and paying him a grant of Rs 10,000. "This is a stray case where political leaders intervened as the villagers had created a ruckus about the family's dire straits. But no leader looked into the real problem because of which people are now starving to death in almost all villages," says Atique Ansari, general secretary, Weaver's Association, Varanasi.
The weavers' troubles began way back in 1995-1998 when the Deve Gowda government imposed a ban on Chinese silk yarns. The idea was that Varanasi saris would only be woven from silk yarns from Bangalore. Out of habit or because of its superior quality, some weavers started smuggling Chinese yarn into the holy town. Realising that their need for Chinese yarn would only grow, the weavers demanded an ogl (open general license).
A chronic power shortage was also crippling their activity but one of the most telling blows was delivered five years ago when the government allowed the free import of Chinese plain crepe fabrics. "This decision brought the entire business to a standstill. Now most customers prefer crepe silk to the traditional Varanasi silk because of its smooth appearance and cheaper price," explains Rajan Bahal, general secretary of Varanasi Vastra Udyog.
The flaws of Varanasi silk—relating to colour, texture and durability—are not found in Chinese crepe since they are woven in automated looms. "With power availability and government subsidies, the Chinese can afford to sell the finished product at a lower price, giving the traditional Varanasi silk sari tough competition.Chinese silk traders brought cheap yarn to the local market and decided to replicate Varanasi silk by hiring some weavers from Varanasi," explains Atique AnsariHe adds that the middle and lower middle class prefers synthetic saris from Surat at one-tenth the price of a Varanasi silk sari. The continuous tussle between the Bangalore and Karnataka silk lobby as well as government indifference towards import policy has led to this plight.
In fact, the art of weaving these saris now faces extinction. In Mughal times both Hindu concepts and Muslim ideas were fused to create unique aesthetic designs. The weavers weave the basic texture of the sari on handlooms and powerlooms—both cottage industries where the entire family is usually involved. Normally one person weaves while two others work at revolving rings to roll bundles of the yarn. They create a Varanasi speciality yarn motifs.
To create these designs, the artist first draws out the entire concept on a graph paper. He then creates small punch cards through which colour threads are passed at different stage as the cards hang on the sides of the loom. Depending on the design, these cards are paddled in a systematic way so that the right pattern and colours are picked up during the main weaving. For a single design, hundreds of such perforated cards are required. A normal sari takes anywhere from 15 days to six months depending on the complexity of the design.
But today an estimated five lakh weavers and their families in Varanasi district are looking for an alternative. Over half have been forced to take up menial jobs like pulling rickshaws. Several have opened tea stalls and paan shops. Others like Abdul Wahi of Rewri Talab and Abdul Ghani of Maltibagh have closed their flourishing businesses and migrated to Bangalore and Hyderabad where they work in looms and help in dyeing and embroidery work. "At least they are better off, but you need money to migrate and contacts too. Here we are all left to starve and die," says Uma Shankar of Madhiapur village whose two children, nine-year-old Chandan and seven-year-old Malka, are undergoing treatment for malnourishment.
An NGO led by Lenin Raghuvanshi is helping the children. "But how many such cases can we attend to?" asks Lenin. According to his conservative estimates, 19 weavers have died from starvation in the past 24 months.
"When reports of farmers' deaths reach Parliament, immediate action is taken. But when weavers are dying in Varanasi, no voice is heard in Parliament," says Raghuvanshi. The plight of silk sari weavers in Varanasi unfortunately seems to come to the fore only before elections. Once electioneering ends, the promises too fade and the poor weavers are left to fend for themselves. And the cityfolk are left wondering why leaders are so insensitive to one of the oldest arts of the country.
Weavers in UP:
5lacs in Varanasi, 2lacs in Mubarakpur(Azamgarh) in majority.
Other areas:Meerut,Tanda(Ambedkar Nagar),Mau.

16 Questions: Friday’s First Round Games
Posted by Matt Eisenberg on March 22nd, 2019
It’s time for another exciting day of 16 games. Here are the questions I have going into Friday’s action:
The Zion Show Moves to the NCAA Tournament (USA Today Images)
1) Duke vs. 16) North Dakota State: Will Duke’s perimeter players begin the Tournament knocking down shots? Zion will be Zion, of course, but Duke will need its other players knocking down shots down the line if the Blue Devils are to cut down the nets in Minneapolis.
1) North Carolina vs. 16) Iona: Can Iona make it to the half within closer range than last year against Duke? As a #15 seed against Duke last year, Iona trailed at the half by 14 points before going on to lose by 22. While the Gaels shot a sterling 58.3 percent from inside the arc, they were just 5-of-24 from beyond the stripe. Duke, on the other hand, shot 62.2 percent from two-point range and went 13-of-30 from behind the line.
1) Virginia vs. 16) Garder-Webb: Will Virginia be quick to rid itself of last season’s nightmare? A 29-3 regular season was great, but memories of last year will surely still be on everyone’s minds as the Cavaliers’ postseason begins. Virginia scored just nine points during the opening 10 minutes against UMBC one year ago, so its first few segments of the game will be telling.
2) Tennessee vs. 15) Colgate: Will Tennessee make quick work of Colgate? Colgate comes into this game with a defensive efficiency ranking of #202, and the Raiders will be tasked with stopping the nation’s third most efficient offense led by the force that is Grant Williams. Good luck.
3) Houston vs. 14) Georgia State: Does Georgia State coach Ron Hunter have more Tournament magic up his sleeves? On the season, Houston has out-rebounded its opponents by an average of 7.7 rebounds per game, whereas Georgia State finds itself getting outmuscled by the tune of 5.3 rebounds per game. If the Panthers can survive on the glass, the duo of D’Marcus Simmonds and Devin Mitchell might be able to keep Georgia State within striking distance.
3) Texas Tech vs. 14) Northern Kentucky: Will Texas Tech’s loss to West Virginia have any carry-over effects? While Texas Tech held the Mountaineers to just 38.8 percent shooting, the Red Raiders gave up 19 offensive rebounds and 20 points at the charity stripe.
4) Kansas State vs. 13) UC Irvine: Will Kansas State be able to get any play and production out of Dean Wade? Wade did not play in the Big 12 Tournament and his status remains up in the air for today’s game. Without the big man inside, the Anteaters could be able to take advantage of its offensive rebounding prowess.
4) Virginia Tech vs. 13) Saint Louis: How will Virginia Tech work Justin Robinson back into the lineup? After missing the last 12 games of the season, Robinson is set to return for the Hokies. The senior guard averages just under 14 points per game while shooting better than 40 percent from deep.
5) Wisconsin vs. 12) Oregon: Can Wisconsin get D’Mitrik Trice and Brad Davison to knock down open shots? In Wisconsin’s five March games, the pair of Trice and Davison have gone a combined 11-of-48 from behind the three-point line. Without knocking down open shots, Oregon will be able to throw everything they have at slowing All-America center Ethan Happ.
5) Mississippi State vs. 12) Liberty: Will Liberty be overwhelmed by the Mississippi State offense? The Flames played 14 games against an opponent with an offensive efficiency ranking of 260th or worse. The Bulldogs have an offensive efficiency ranking of 56th and are led by Quinndary Weatherspoon, who shot an SEC-best 44.9 percent on three-point attempts during league play.
6) Buffalo vs. 11) Arizona State: Will Buffalo get the best of a school from Arizona again? Bobby Hurley and the Sun Devils won on Wednesday night in Dayton and are rewarded with a match-up against Hurley’s former squad. Arizona State will need more than 23 minutes of action from Remy Martin to get another victory.
6) Iowa State vs. 11) Ohio State: With Kaleb Wesson back, can Ohio State pull off the upset? The Buckeyes lost two of their last three games with Wesson back before falling in his return to the Spartans. Ohio State averaged 10 fewer points per game on the road than they did at home.
7) Cincinnati vs. 10) Iowa: Can Iowa change its late season misfortune? The Hawkeyes come into this game losers of five of their last six games. Throw in needing a pair of last second baskets to beat Northwestern and Rutgers and it’s clear Iowa is playing its worst basketball at the wrong time of the year.
8) Ole Miss vs. 9) Oklahoma: Can Ole Miss knock down enough threes to beat the Sooners? The Rebels were just 2-8 when they failed to make a third of their three-point attempts this season. On the year, Oklahoma has held opponents to a three-point average of 33.3 percent.
8) Utah State vs. 9) Washington: Can the Pac-12’s highest seed help the conference from its dismal 2018 showing in the NCAA Tournament? The Pac-12’s regular season champion scored fewer than 50 points in two of its final four games, both coming against Oregon. The Huskies’ defense does a terrific job of creating havoc, however, led by the wizardry of defensive ace Matisse Thybulle.
8) VCU vs. 9) UCF: If VCU’s Marcus Evans is not at 100 percent, will the Rams have enough firepower? Evans suffered a bone bruise in VCU’s loss to Rhode Island in last week’s Atlantic 10 tournament. The starting guard averages a team-best 13.9 points per game and VCU could be tested greatly by UCF’s stout defense — which includes the towering presence of 7’6″ Tacko Fall.

What’s Trending: This is March!
Posted by Matt Eisenberg on March 4th, 2019
What’s Trending is a column examining the week that was in college basketball social media. Matthew Eisenberg (@matteise) is your weekly host.
The first four months of the college basketball season are now in the books, and this week gave us the annual Jon Rothstein countdown to March. Like clockwork, the CBS analyst delivered as all hoops fans knew he would. Welcome to March!
3 hours until March.

1 hour until March.
MARCH.
With March now here, conference races are in the home stretch. As such, Saturday night’s game between the best teams in the Mountain West ended with Utah State beating Nevada. After the game, Utah State fans rushed the court. Shortly after that, bedlam took place in the hallway under the arena as Nevada‘s Jordan Caroline erupted in anger. While to this point the incident is full of rumors and hearsay, it sets up what could be a wild match-up if the two teams see each other again in the Mountain West Tournament…
Wow! Emotions running high after the Utah State vs Nevada game. This is incredible. @KUTV2News (WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE) pic.twitter.com/mFl7wIP6W9

Ten Questions to Consider: The First Weekend of March
Posted by Matt Eisenberg on March 1st, 2019
With some conference tournaments less than a week away, this weekend is all about conference races, tournament resumes, and doing all that you can to end up on the correct side of the bubble. Here are ten questions I have heading into the weekend.
Kentucky and Tennessee Do Battle Again This Weekend (USA Today Images)
Will Tennessee’s season-long struggles cleaning up its defensive glass be exploited again by Kentucky? (Kentucky @ Tennessee, Saturday 2 PM EST, CBS) In Tennessee’s 17-point loss at Rupp Arena last month, Kentucky’s 59.4 percent effective field goal percentage was the best of any Volunteers’ opponent this season. In addition, the Wildcats grabbed a healthy 41.4 percent of their missed shots.
With Kerwin Roach suspended, could Texas play itself out of the NCAA Tournament? (Iowa State @ Texas, Saturday 2 PM EST, ESPN2) The Bracket Matrix currently projects Texas as a #9 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns have lost two in a row since Kerwin Roach’s suspension, however, and must finish the regular season with Texas Tech and TCU. Roach was the conference’s eighth-leading scorer at 15 points per game — Texas needs him.
Can Clemson’s offense produce enough to give the Tigers a shot at beating North Carolina? (North Carolina @ Clemson, Saturday 6 PM EST, ESPN) While Clemson owns the ACC’s second most efficient defense, its offense lags far behind. The Tigers turn the ball over at an alarming rate while rarely getting to the line or earning second chance opportunities.
Will Texas Tech make enough threes on the road to beat TCU? (Texas Tech @ TCU, Saturday 4 PM EST, ESPN2) On the season, Texas Tech is 13-0 when it shoots better than 33.3 percent from beyond the arc, and just 10-5 when the Red Raiders do not. Correspondingly, they are shooting 38.3 percent on their three-point attempts at home and just 32.5 percent on the road. TCU’s three-point defense leads the conference during Big 12 play.
Does Saint Mary’s have any chance at ending Gonzaga’s perfect WCC season? (Gonzaga @ Saint Mary’s, Saturday 10 PM EST, ESPN) According to KenPom, Gonzaga’s minimum win probability in the first match-up with Saint Mary’s came at tip-off. The Zags never trailed in the game and went on to win by 48 points. Gonzaga held the Gaels, a team that owns an effective field goal percentage of 54.2 percent on the season, to a mere 26.7 percent on that night.
Can Baylor keep both its and Kansas’ regular season title hopes alive with a win at Kansas State? (Baylor @ Kansas State, Saturday 8 PM EST, ESPN 2) At 10-5 in Big 12 play, Baylor sits a game out of first place in the league standings. In the Bears’ previous seven-point loss to Kansas State, they led the Wildcats by seven points midway through the second half before giving up an 18-3 Kansas State run.
How disruptive will Washington’s Matisse Thybulle be this week? (Washington @ Stanford, Sunday 4 PM EST, ESPN2) Matisse Thybulle is 20 steals shy of tying Gary Payton’s career Pac-12 steals record. The senior defensive whiz leads the country in steal rate and is just outside of the top 50 in blocked shot rate. In conference play, Thybulle has notched six games with five or more blocked shots and eight games with five or more steals. Incredible.
Can Utah State solidify a spot in the NCAA Tournament with a weekend win over Nevada? (Nevada @ Utah State, Saturday 8:30 PM EST, CBS Sports Network) As of Thursday, both Jerry Palm and Joe Lunardi project Utah State as a play-in game NCAA Tournament team. However, the Aggies have zero wins against teams safely in the Tournament. In its loss to Nevada earlier in the season, Utah State shot a season worst 17.4 percent on its three-point attempts.
Can Louisville end its recent tailspin? (Notre Dame @ Louisville, Sunday 1:30 PM EST, CBS) Chris Mack’s squad has lost five of its last six games, including four games in which his club led at the half. In its most recent loss, Louisville had a -10 turnover differential against Boston College.
What will Buffalo’s ceiling be come March? (Buffalo @ Miami OH, Friday 8 PM EST, CBS Sports Network) Last season, Nate Oats’ squad toppled Arizona as a feisty #13 seed. This year’s Buffalo team remains as potent offensively while having improved dramatically defensively. Buffalo holding serve the rest of the way will all be about NCAA Tournament seeding.

Checking in on… the Mountain West
Posted by Andrew Murawa (@Amurawa) on February 9th, 2016
It’s a week of callbacks in the Mountain West check-in because a lot of the things we talked about last week at this time proved particularly relevant in the interim. Before we jump into team-by-team breakdowns, however, let’s hit the big story: San Diego State going a long way toward wrapping up at least a share of the regular season title for the fifth time in the last six seasons. The Aztecs knocked off New Mexico on Saturday night, bumping their conference record to 11-0 and establishing a three-game lead over the Lobos in the loss column with seven games remaining. It wasn’t a dominant win and the Aztecs needed a fortunate (but not egregious) call with 12.9 seconds left to have a chance to tie the game. But, credit to Steve Fisher’s bunch, they made the most of the second chance by nailing a three from Malik Pope to send the game to overtime and then taking care of business from there. With the win, San Diego State continued its ascension up to #44 in the RPI and #64 in KenPom. What this all means is that there is some lingering hope around the conference that a second NCAA Tournament bid is possible. That would of course have to mean some team will knock off the Aztecs in the conference tournament, but six of those 11 conference wins have been decided by only one possession. In other words, if the luck factor in close games reverts to the mean, the Aztecs will have some losses coming between now and Selection Sunday.
With Saturday Night’s Win, The Aztecs Again Have Full Control In The Mountain West (USA Today)
San Diego State (18-6, 9-0) – Last week we dug into the Aztecs’ ongoing streak of what was then 159 straight wins (and 224 out of 225) when leading games with five minutes left to play. Since that post, the Aztecs found themselves ahead two more times with five minutes left, and in both games, with the outcome with a minute to go was severely in doubt. Against Colorado State, it was the Rams turning it over on three consecutive possessions and a contested layup at the buzzer that came up short. Against New Mexico it was a poorly executed in-bounds and a technically incorrect (but completely understandable) call. But here we stand with the streak now at 161 games. It’s not exactly on par with UCLA’s 88-game winning streak. Or DiMaggio’s hitting streak. But it is sort of mind-boggling. And I’ll certainly take it over the Globetrotters. One other note from the week: big men Skylar Spencer and Angelo Chol combined to play 85 minutes and between them went 10-of-13 from the field, scored 20 points, grabbed 21 boards and blocked five shots. However, despite 13 feet and five inches of frontcourt goodness, the pair earned exactly zero free throw attempts.

Its been too darn long since we’ve done one of these, so let’s do this right and get caught up on the Mountain West. We’re basically halfway through conference play with eight of the 11 teams having played at least nine conference games, and San Diego State has clearly established itself as the conference’s best team — off to a 9-0 start that gives them a game-and-a-half lead over two-loss New Mexico. Before we get into the team-by-team rundowns, let’s take a moment to congratulate the conference on the fact that, in an era of the horrors of unbalanced scheduling in large conferences, its brass made sure that the league’s top four teams (San Diego State, New Mexico, Boise State, UNLV) play each other twice. Sure, it’s easier to set that up when the league only has 11 teams (where you only miss a home-and-away schedule against two conference foes), but regardless of how, that part of the schedule is right this year.
San Diego State (16-6, 9-0) – I wrote plenty about the Aztecs yesterday, so go read that article first. But, there’s also the matter of San Diego State’s 17 million straight wins when leading with five minutes remaining in a game (actually, the number now stands at 159 straight). Now, that number sounds impressive, and it is (Mark Zeigler noted three weeks ago that the next longest streak in the conference is at 14 wins). But even more impressively, that time 160 games ago when the Aztecs lost a game after leading at the five-minute mark was when Wyoming hit six threes in the final 4:12 to outscore the Aztecs 24-8 over that stretch. Even crazier: That loss broke another long 65-game Aztec streak of winning games when they were ahead at the five-minute mark. By my math, San Diego State is 224-1 in the last 225 games where it led at the five-minute mark. Go read that excellent Zeigler article about the streak. There’s a lot more great stuff in there too.
San Diego State’s History Of Winning Games When Ahead At The Five-Minute Mark Is Insane (San Diego State University)
New Mexico (13-8, 6-2) – After getting handled by the Runnin’ Rebels in UNLV’s first game post-Dave Rice a couple weeks back, the Lobos came back and got surprised by Wyoming in The Pit. It was easy to write New Mexico off at that time, and wins at San Jose State and at home against Air Force did nothing to change that idea. But Saturday night in Boise changed this up indeed. Behind a 30 points from Elijah Brown and 21 from Tim Williams, the Lobos had a terrific offensive night, kept their turnovers in check and served notice that despite some early season bumps and bruises, they were going to stick around for awhile. In that loss to Wyoming, sophomore point guard Cullen Neal suffered a concussion and missed the win over San Jose State, but in the two games since then, Neal played his best back-to-back games of the season, averaging 11.5 efficient points and a combined six assists to three turnovers.

There’s plenty of on-court news that we’ll get to below, but the big news from the last week was from the conference office. As the Mountain West announced that the conference tournament will remain at the Thomas & Mack in Las Vegas through at least 2019, not so hidden in that announcement was the corresponding news that only the top eight teams in the final league standings will be making the trip. First, the venue. While nearly everyone in the conference is supportive of playing the conference tournament in Vegas because of the clear entertainment draw and centralized location, the particulars of playing on UNLV’s home court remain controversial. San Diego State coach Steve Fisher is a vocal opponent of that location, but subsidies for rent on the Thomas & Mack as well as hotel rooms make the decision a virtual economic necessity.
The Mountain West Tournament will remain in Las Vegas, but fewer teams will be invited.
However, the paring down of invitees is more of a head-scratcher. Sure, commissioner Craig Thompson points to an invitation to the conference tourney as a reward for a strong regular season, but with an eye toward the fan experience, part of the fun of the conference tournament is having everybody at the same venue. Further, just in terms of planning a Vegas vacation in mid-March with weekdays in play, less notice for teams near the cut line does not bode well for maximum attendance. For example, the conference has had 11 members for the past two seasons. In 2013-14, there was a tie for eighth place, with just a one-game drop to ninth. Last season, there were three games separating spots #7 through #10. This year, KenPom currently projects sixth place in the conference at 9-9 with three more teams projected to go 8-10. In all of those scenarios, teams wouldn’t really be clinching a spot for an invitation to the conference tournament until the final week of the regular season, making it more difficult for fans to get time off work to head to Vegas.

Last week we were bemoaning the fact that the conference’s early season struggles had put it clearly behind the eight-ball. For example, in naming our top five non-conference wins, we had to include UNLV’s win over Cal Poly and Boise State’s win over UC Irvine. This week, however, following the Runnin’ Rebels defeat of Oregon, not only does the Mountain West have another fine scalp, the league has also got a team in those same Rebels with the makings of a legitimate at-large resume. Now, there’s a long, long way between here and Selection Sunday, but at least we can say there is some hope that the Mountain West is something more than a conference-tourney-winner take all one-bid league. And along the way, we’re ready to vault UNLV right into the role of the conference favorite.
UNLV’s Most Recent Resume Win Has Dave Rice And Co. As Conference Favorites.
UNLV (7-1) – A technically neutral-site win over Oregon on Friday night gives the Runnin’ Rebels the two best non-conference wins in the Mountain West, arguably three of the top five and put them on the national top 25 radar. What’s more, that game against Oregon showed a lot of the things that have been missing around Vegas in recent years. First, there was far more ball movement that the nine assists on 26 made field goals would have you believe. Second, there was camaraderie and chemistry, all the signs of a group of teammates that actually get along with each other. And third, there were productive coaching adjustments and coherent offensive strategies against changing defenses. Ongoing doubts about Dave Rice’s ability to pull it all together for this team are still reasonable, but there is plenty of reason for hope. And with a trip to Wichita State tonight followed on down the line by dates with Arizona State and Arizona, we’ll continue to get chances to test that hope. Exciting times for the Rebs.

Morning Five: 12.01.15 Edition
Posted by nvr1983 on December 1st, 2015
Today is the culmination of the #FreeDiallo campaign as Cheick Diallo, the heralded Kansas freshman, will make his debut tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.The whole saga has been discussed ad nauseum so we won’t rehash it here (you can follow Jay Bilas on Twitter for an almost daily recap), but would encourage you to watch the Jayhawks tonight if only to see the reception Diallo gets from the Kansas crowd the first time he steps on the court.
Diallo may be free now, but David Collette is still waiting for Utah State to lift its universal block on his attempt to transfer. The circumstances around Collette’s decision to leave the Utah State basketball team might seem suspicious, but the school’s decision to prevent him from transferring to any program is absurd. Jeff Eisenberg details some of the other petty steps that the school has taken to try to get back at Collette. While these seem extreme the school is hardly the first to do this sort of thing and it always seems to backfire on the school so we are not sure why schools continue to do it.
We probably would not have realized that former Duke star Chris Duhon is back in college basketball as an assistant coach at Marshall if not for his arrest early Monday morning for driving under the influence. Duhon was reportedly found asleep in the driver’s seat of his car with the engine running and had a blood alcohol level of 0.202, which is more than 2.5 times the legal limit. Duhon, who is an assistant under Dan D’Antoni, has been suspended for violating department rules and policies. We aren’t sure how long the suspension will last, but we hope that Duhon gets the help that he needs.
The college basketball world lost an icon last Thursday when Guy Lewis died at the age of 93. Lewis, who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013, is best known for his Phi Slama Jama teams of the early 1980s that featured [H]Akeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, but his career was much more than that. Lewis won 593 games making the Final Four five times and first came to national prominence in 1968 when he engineered the “Game of the Century” in which his Houston Cougars led by Elvin Hayes knocked off a UCLA team led by Lew Alcindor [Ed. Note: We’re a college site so we go by college names.] Lewis was also one of the first coaches in the South to openly push for integration, an often overlooked aspect of his legacy.
This actually is not the first time we have talked about Cal Tech on the site, but Chris Ballard’s in-depth look at the program is too good not to pass along. We will warn you that this definitely falls into the #longreads category, but we doubt that you will find an article that provides a more in-depth look at the personalities around a program that what this does. Obviously this program is very different than almost any other program in the nation (probably one of the few where student-athlete is used in the correct order), but in many ways that makes it even more interesting.

Boise State Won The Conference Title Last Year, But Was Rewarded With A Road Game In The NCAA Tournament (Charlie Litchfield/IPT)
Respect. If this conference isn’t careful, it could be on the verge of losing all of the respect it has built up over the course of a long period of competitive basketball. Last season, following Wyoming’s surprise Mountain West Tournament victory, the league went into Selection Sunday hoping to land four teams in the field of 68. Instead, the Cowboys were joined by San Diego State and a woefully underseeded Boise State (regular season champion relegated to a road game against Dayton in the First Four), while Colorado State and its three seniors were entirely left behind. Since 2011, when the conference put two teams (San Diego State and BYU) into the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, the league has been afforded plenty of respect by the Selection Committee with 14 invitations over the past four seasons. But during that stretch, the Mountain West has also combined to go just 6-14 in the NCAA Tournament, a full six wins below expectations based on its seed line. Worse yet, the conference has dipped from top five conference RPI rankings in 2013 to #10 in 2014 and #13 last season. Not good.
Non-Conference Slate. Part of upping those RPI numbers has to do with scheduling smartly in the non-conference schedule. Back when the Mountain West was earning five NCAA Tournament invitations, some of the credit for that Selection Sunday success had to go to the conference programs massaging their schedules to boost their RPI profiles. It seemed like there was a collective effort to avoid scheduling terrible RPI anchors and, while also scheduling several tough teams with good RPIs, avoiding a brutal schedule to harm the all-important win/loss records. This year? As Matt Stephens of The Coloradoan showed on Monday, if you average the 2014-15 RPIs of this year’s opponents, nobody in the league plays a schedule with an average RPI of stronger than 100th. That’s not good. UNLV has the toughest non-conference slate, with UCLA, Oregon, Wichita State, Arizona State and Arizona dotting the schedule, but those tests are also dragged down by some of the dregs of Division I basketball (Southern Utah, Prairie View A&M, South Dakota). Long story short: the Mountain West has seemingly scheduled it’s way behind the eight-ball from the get-go this season.

Boise State – I just wrote a couple thousand words about the Broncos, so go read that piece if you want any longwinded explanations of why they’re the obvious pick here. In breaking San Diego State’s 29-game home winning streak, the Broncos put themselves in the driver’s seat for the conference championship and the #1 seed in the conference tournament. There was no other reasonable option.
Those Around The Boise State Basketball Program Have Plenty of Reason To Smile. (Matt Cilley, AP Photo)
Derrick Marks, Sr, Boise State – I thought for a second about getting creative and going with Marvelle Harris, and Utah State put together a couple good wins. But let’s not be crazy here. While Marks’ performance against San Diego State was a little rugged offensively, that’s to be expected against such a fearsome defense. And still, check out these numbers for the week: 24.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 3.0 APG, 2.0 SPG, and a 50% eFG. All told, this week was about Marks getting his team over the hump and into position to win a conference title. Along the way, he probably sewed up the Player of the Year award, although odds are good that wasn’t his main goal.

The Mexican Revolution At It’s Finish
Revolution is an celebration that comes about each time All those of a state increase up and strain a distinction inside a nation’s charter, or even the recent ability design of the state. Variance tends towards be immediate and through the employ of violent signifies, on the other hand, plenty of alternate solutions can be employed in the direction of deliver more than variance. Traditionally a over-all consensus of some kind is attained as a result of the general public, and the population feels pressured into step. At times the persons sense as even though their „backs are in opposition to the wall” and they contain no preference nonetheless in direction of increase up and get manage of the federal government of their place. Mexico’s heritage is one particular of revolution and moreover of misguided electrical power. There are a complete assortment of motivating issues that can be at the root of this sort of a wholesale want for difference, however in essence oppression of some neighborhood is included.
President Porfirio Diaz was a awful dictator who stored his ft firmly planted upon the backs of Mexico’s negative. He by some means preserved toward continue to be inside electrical power for 31 many years and all through his reign as president-cum-dictator, he dominated as optimum dictators do. That is he wielded complete electric power in excess of the americans, although a minimal community of sycophants surrounded him, with true electricity specified just towards a opt for handful of. the elite hoarded and regulated the prosperity of the economic system. The americans had been offered no suggests in the direction of categorical their belief of Diaz; there ended up no elections and no alternative. Corruption and injustice reigned almost everywhere.
Diaz and his henchmen, denied the more youthful and idealistic politicians that stepped in advance at the starting off of the 20th century, in the direction of crank out plan or in the direction of instigate adjustments. 1 of the younger, would-be reformers was Francisco Madero, who firmly imagined that Diaz should really renounce his energy, as it was distinct that Diaz’s proclamations of democracy had been practically nothing further than lip provider. Feel it or not, an ”Antireeleccionista” Social gathering was shaped as a result of Madero inside of reply toward Diaz’s nonsense, and he utilised the get together toward distribute his beliefs inside Mexico. He assumed that governing administration, need to be a regulation-abiding establishment – regardless of whether it be Diaz’s govt or somebody else’s.

In just times, Madero started off in direction of obtain allies – Pascual Orozco, Toribio Ortega, and probably greatest particularly, Francisco „Pancho” Villa. They all connected him within guidance of the revolution.

DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls
How black is it, really?
Almost 2 years ago, in the beginning of 2011, when I first introduced the (just “invented”) black tea from North Thailand, the “tea world” initially responded with the same skepticism that I had not been able to completely suppress myself, when my producer partners in Doi Mae Salong proudly announced the news.
Now, said skepticism is typically being history in just that very moment, where our DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls first meet one’s taste buds, a rule that does not only apply to unprejudiced tea lovers, but equally to tea newbies as well as die-hard fans of classical black tea varieties such as Assam or Darjeeling. In the meantime, the Doi Mae Salong Shi Er Black Pearls have blossomed to one of the most popular bestsellers in the SiamTeas tea portfolio, which we do not only sell to our tea fan circle at Siam Tea Shop, but also successfully to dedicated tea retailers across the world (well, nearly), namely in the US, Australia, Sweden, Czech Republic, France, and the Netherlands.
In both professional and tea lover circles, a discussion has unfolded on whether our DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls really are a black tea now, or even a red one, or rather a very highly fermented/oxidized Oolong tea instead.
Dark color of the dry “pearls”, with visible green in it
Well, I will not be able to bring final clarification to that question either, if only for the reason that the delimitations of the terms “black tea”, “red tea” and “dark Oolong tea” are overlapping by nature and there are enormous spaces for interpretation, speculation and experiments in the no-man’s-land between the blurred definition borders. Despite the pitfalls of the conceptual definitions, we can position the DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls quite exactly on the map of basic tea categories. Prerequisite for this, however, will be an initial clarification of the conceptual understanding our three-dimensional axes of coordinates is based on:
Black tea: Western term for “completely” (beyond 94%, as a rule) fermented / oxidized tea of the Camellia Sinensis species, applying regardless of cultivar and region of origin. “Black” means the increasingly dark color of the tea leaves with higher degrees of fermentation / oxidation.
Red tea: Traditional Chinese term for “completely” (beyond 85% or 90%) fermented tea of the Camellia Sinensis species, however only with respect to Chinese teas, simply because ancient China did not know Darjeelings or African black teas, once due to the non-existing globalization in that time, and second because these teas simply did not exist yet in the heyday of the more than 3000 years old Chinese tea culture. “Red” because of the clear red color of the tea’s liquor.
Dark Oolong tea: not a term defined by “science”, however, it is a winged word in tea lover circles, mostly used to describe a tendentiously rather high fermented / oxidized Oolong tea, whereas the rating “dark”, in comparison to green, yellow, or white tea, and/or to less high fermented /oxidized tea applies both to the color the processed tea leaves and that of the tea’s liquor. A binding or even common definition for the range of degree of fermentation applicable to the term does not exist.
Wet leaves with visible black and green color components
Hence, the concepts behind the terms “black” and “red” tea are widely identical. As I said, widely…. though, who today says “red tea” might usually mean a Chinese black tea, a certain set of taste and processing properties will be attributed to that red/Chinese black tea, which absolutely qualifies red tea as a special form of black tea or even as a class of its own. Here, however, I have to enter grounds of speculation: as it appears, mildness, a modest content in bitters with at the same time aromatic richness and a broad taste spectrum are to some extent typical for Chinese red teas, while the criterion “red” for the tea’s liquor will also be already fulfilled at a slightly lower degree of fermentation / oxidation (90%, or even 85%?), and hence, such tea will be called “red tea” in China, too, while in the west, many might call it a “dark Oolong” instead.
DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls Facts
Our “Black Pearls”, which consequentially should actually more accurately be called “Red Pearls”, which we won’t do, because this would inevitably cause many people in the west to think of Pu Er tea (or even Rooibus), are produced on the basis of Jin Xuan Oolong No. 12 cultivar (Chin. “12” = “shi er”), simply by processing it to a much higher degree of fermentation / oxidation as is common for the Jin Xuan Oolong No. 12.
clear red color of the tea’s liquor
Naturally, as a non-food-chemist, I cannot tell how high EXACTLY the degree of fermentation of the Black Pearls is, but I estimate it to be typically in the range between 85% and 90%, bringing it right in the middle of the no-man’s-land between black tea and dark Oolong tea on the one hand, but making it fulfill all requirements for a classification as “red tea” on the other.
dark, almost black leave, however, with clearly recognizable tones of green notes (visible most clearly at the dry, rolled leave, but also at the wet, unfolded leave (see pics);
saturated, clear red color of the tea’s liquor after appropriate infusion period (with a dominant slightly reddish amber color before that);
mild in taste, which will show hardly any bitter components even after an infusion period of 4-5 minutes;
rich aroma accompanied by a broad taste spectrum, reaching from a poignant, nearly dominating, wonderfully sweet cocoa note, via nutty components as they are typical for a whole range of high fermented Chinese teas (whether Oolong or red), up to the earthy, slightly grassy aromas characteristic for Thai Oolongs, the latter, however, with the Black Pearls rather as a faint backdrop.

Preparation recommendations:
My preparation recommendations for the DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls are based on my experiences gathered in meanwhile many hundreds of infusions (yes, I LOVE this tea!). Nevertheless, people’s tastes are individual (fortunately), so I don’t intend to set up a rule here that I would consider as mandatory for other tea lovers, too, in order to achieve their most favorable taste result. But precisely because the optimal preparation (for me) of this tea in some points significantly deviates from that of a black tea or even Oolong tea, as we know it, I would like to warmly recommend to at least try the Black Pearls once in accordance with my recommendations:
I infuse DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls in Chinese Gong Fu Cha style, in a clay pot, where the latter surely is not an absolute must. What this tea definitely benefits from is the pre-warming and moistening of the tea pot as well as the short “wash infusion” as is typical for the Chinese Gong Fu Cha tea ceremony. I dosage by rule of thumb, about 3 grams of DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls on 250 ml boiling hot water, 90°C ok, but a little beyond will also be just fine. The pre-warming of the tea pot by pouring hot water over it from the outside, and the “wash infusion” from the inside help that the temperature will not drop below a level, where this tea’s taste will no longer optimally unfold, too soon. A high infusion temperature is even the more important considering that DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls will have to infuse relatively long, best 3 minutes at the least, whereas 4 minutes or even slightly longer will still be absolutely okay. The tea won’t get bitter from the comparably long infusion period, however, it will only this way fully unfold its aromatic wealth and intensity of taste.
With a first steep in the described manner, this tea will still always be good for a second infusion, yes, it would even be a sad waste not to exhaust this option. The second steep needs water of the same temperature as the first, but may not infuse for an even longer period of well 5 minutes. With a proper timing of the first steep as described above, both infusions will be of nearly equal value.
Well, I understand everybody, who says that he/she won’t care too much for the theoretic ” pea counting” of the professional world, that he/she won’t even really have to know, whether the DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls are a black, red, or dark Oolong tea now, but that ultimately, the subjectively perceived good taste is the only criterion that really matters for them. Nevertheless, I appreciate every piece of knowledge about the tea I am drinking, not only for the addition it will make to my knowledge basis, but I also fancy the idea that in transcendental way, I will even be able to taste my knowledge about origin, processing and history of a tea. Don’t believe this? Those who have DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls at home in their tea cabinets, and have tried it before reading this article, may now be asked to try this tea now, after reading this article, once again. Now, dare saying, you don’t feel the difference…
and cheers…

FREDRIC WERTHAM PDF
In Silent Shift, we focus on the smaller, less publicized events. In this edition of Silent Shift, we focus on Fredric Wertham, a villain to Comic fans. Among comic book aficionados, Dr. Fredric Wertham is often considered to be as slimy and evil as any creature ever to appear in the horror comics he criticized. Fredric Wertham is notoriously known as the child psychiatrist who led an almost puritannical witch-hunt against the comic book industry. His essays.

His motives may have been misguided and ill-advised, but he did it all with a focus on a better future, a world without another Albert Fish, or anyone fredrc him. Since the mainstream would never publish it they founded their own independent publishing companies or distributed it through the “head shops” across the country. Shortly after publication of Seduction of the Innocentor SOTI as it is called among comic book collectors, the United States Senate convened hearings on the harmful effects of comic books as part of its investigation into juvenile delinquency.
He died on November 18, at his retirement home in Kempton, Pennsylvania. Fredric Wertham also corresponded with Sigmund Freud for a while, which inspired him to ferdric a psychiatrist.

Tilley claimed that Wertham “played fast and loose with the data he gathered on comics”. Still infamous to most comics fans of the time, Wertham encountered suspicion and heckling at the convention, and stopped writing about comics thereafter.

In some circles comics are still regarded as depraved forms of literature.

To understand Wertham, we need to understand the world that he built his career in.

EC published a specific comedy comic that still sold well, and Gaines, seeing an opportunity, switched the comic into a magazine, getting away from the pearl-clutching rules of the Code. Some publications were able to persevere in their own way; Warren Publishing was able to skirt the rules by turning their publication into a magazine, able to publish what they pleased without the Code holding them back.
Wertham’s work was directed toward condemning comics though.
Fredric Wertham is a man who still evokes feelings of wsrtham, irritation and ridicule among comics fans. A fresh take on sports: Fish would sometimes hide at the edge of the woods, chasing after children that walked by, or other times he would simply walk down the street, his hands always fidgeting, grabbing a child that he fancied and walking away.
Then Wertham himself wrote a scathing anti-comics article in the Saturday Review of Literature. EC had the last laugh though. He spent much of his life studying and writing about violence and how to prevent it.
I had nothing whatever to do directly with the comics code.

VALENTI “FUNK” THOMAS – Hardly will you find a tighter, more energetic and emotional album
By Jeena Johnson On May 23, 2015 No Comments
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Valenti of ‘The Effinays’ to release debut solo album featuring elements of on June 19
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Valenti “Funk” Thomas releases his self-titled debut solo album on Friday, June 19, 2015. Valenti’s debut album is the artist’s first solo endeavor and features an eclectic mix of 11 genre bending songs. The album features talented DFW artists such as funk/reggae powerhouse and lead singer of The Effinays Joe “Big Spook” Martinez, hip-hop artist Kedrian “Versatile” McPhearson, background vocalist for multi-platinum soul queen Erykah Badu, LaLa Johnson, and more. Valenti serves as drummer, keyboardist, bass player and producer on the album which will be available for purchase through iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and the artist’s website at www.valentifunk.com.
Valenti (Jakeb-Miller)
The album “Valenti”, sounds like one of those essential recordings from the late 70’s, filled with funk, soul, reggae and just downright good music; it is far removed from the computer-induced electronic fodder that currently dominates the mass market. Though steeped in the classic ‘real music’ sound, each song manages to be innovative and showcases the imagination and performance quality this collective is capable of.
Scintillating synths, rolling basses, hard-strumming guitars and superb vocals abound all over. Sometimes music should be made without the hassles associated with acceptance and hit-making. Artists should create work that stretches the boundaries of the imagination and just makes us feel good. Something that only targets emotions, and that’s exactly what Valenti “Funk” Thomas and his crew have accomplished here!
When you listen to this album record, you are experiencing a profound music lesson – “get it on and let it out!” Nobody holds anything back here, as the tracks come on like building waves crashing to the shore, one after another. This is ecstatic aural bliss. Listening to this, you get the feeling that the musicians could jam forever if they wanted to…and you could groove to this for even much longer!
From the moment Valenti “Funk” Thomas brings the instrumental “Irving Bear Creek”, in on a drum roll, you know this is going to be a good one. And your expectations are confirmed by the funky bass lines and soul-stirring reggae voice, courtesy of Bill Spook, on “Party Fiesta”. Spook then lures and tantalizes our primordial urges with the slowburner “More Light”.
Valenti then takes us on an ethereal, world-music, instrumental journey, with “You”, before finally delivering us to the unabashed funk and soul rhythms of “Some Mo” and “Oh My” featuring the splendid voice of LaLa Johnson.
Valenti (Dennis-Webb-Jr.)
The album follows the pattern of a roller-coaster, twisting and turning, falling and rising, between tempos, rhythms and tones. “Backslide” featuring Zach Pohl adds a beautiful somber tone that will resonate in yours long after it has ended, and Kevin Snearley’s guitar just adds fire to the fusion flame, on “Side By Side”.
The crunchy guitar and organ grind on “Stank” featuring Kelyn Crapp is a monstrously-driven arrangement, and my absolute favorite song on the album. If you can sit still through 15 seconds of this song without even nodding your head, you’re probably dead already!
“Chill On The Couch” featuring Aisha Mars on Flute, aims to give you time to ‘chill’ and take a breather, accompanied by its mellow tones. Valenti left the Rap until the end, when he invites Versatile to flow over his romping beat on “Parking Spot”.
Hardly will you find a tighter, more energetic and emotional album filled with joyous, feel good music than you do on Valenti “Funk” Thomas’ self-titled debut album. There is nothing lackluster to be found here. Every song is an explosion of righteous, joyful music created by a truly competent collective!
THE STORY: Born in Dallas, Texas and raised in Irving, Texas, Valenti has played a variety of instruments including drums, keys and bass guitar over the years. Before he joined Dallas-based funk/reggae group The Effinays, who were named “Best Live Act” by the Dallas Observer (2013). With The Effinays, Valenti has shared the stage with artists such as Snoop Dogg (Lion), Grammy award-winning Latin funk orchestra Grupo Fantasma, and CMT Music Award and Academy of Country Music Award-winning country music artist Jack Ingram. “Valenti” was recorded between 2010 and 2015 at various local studios including Track Studio in Plano, Session Works in Arlington, House of Rudd in Bedford and Phoenix Drive Audio in Dallas.

Following the cross country showdown, the experts in arduous, long distance riding will take centre stage on the Sunday, which features Round 5 of the Trek Marathon Series and is also the official National Championships for Mountain Bike Marathon.

Fundings and Exits
City Pantry, the UK corporate catering marketplace, has been acquired by Just Eat for £16M – TechCrunch
City Pantry, the office catering marketplace that lets you order in food for staff, company events and meetings, has been acquired by takeout marketplace and delivery giant Just Eat.
The price is described as an initial cash offering of £16 million, with a possible further payout due if City Pantry achieves agreed operational and financial targets over the next three years.
The premise of the acquisition is to enable consumer-focused Just Eat to further expand into the U.K. corporate catering market by leveraging City Pantry’s brand, technology and sector knowledge. City Pantry claims over 1,000 monthly corporate customers.
Founded by Stuart Sunderland in 2013, City Pantry set out to improve the catering options available to companies in London. Its marketplace connects local caterers to businesses who need quality food delivered to their offices or to cover events, meetings and regular team meals.
When the startup first launched, Sunderland viewed its main competitors as traditional corporate caterers, sandwich retailers, pizza delivery places, and to a lesser extent, the newer breed of restaurant delivery companies such as Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber’s UberEATs. However, as mindshare of these services has grown, it is likely that consumer and corporate catering has increasingly encroached on one another.
In this context, Just Eat’s acquisition of City Pantry makes a lot of sense for what is a relatively low price to gain a stronger foothold in the corporate market. Given that publicly-listed Just Eat is coming under increasing pressure from Deliveroo and UberEATs, it is also smart to demonstrate continuing momentum to the public markets. Small incremental acquisitions like this are a tried and tested way of doing so.
City Pantry is thought to have last raised funding in early 2018: a £4 million round led by Octopus Investments, with participating from Newable Private Investing. The startup’s other backers included Angel CoFund, and The London Co Investment fund (both of which are part-funded by U.K. tax-payer money), and various angels. City Pantry was also a graduate of retail startup accelerator TrueStart.
In a statement issued to TechCrunch, Tim Mills, Investment Director of the Angel CoFund, comments:
“This deal is credit to founder Stuart Sunderland and his team for recognising a need for quality of choice in the corporate catering market and building a marketplace that has been adopted by restaurants and corporates alike. The team has successfully grown the business in the U.K. and demonstrated the commercial opportunity in the B2B market, which is what has made it such an attractive investment for Just Eat. The acquisition is a great opportunity for the company to continue to scale beyond the U.K., with Just Eat opening up new markets for the business. City Pantry has achieved a lot in the past four years and delivered a good return for investors, I look forward to seeing the team reach new heights with Just Eat.”
Adds Peter Duffy, Interim CEO of Just Eat, in a statement:
“Working with City Pantry to accelerate its mission to improve and modernise the workplace dining experience is a great opportunity for Just Eat. It’s the right time for us to enter the corporate market and expand our offering.
“City Pantry has a well-established business, fantastic expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit that matches our own. We look forward to bringing the company into the Just Eat family and working with them to grow in the UK and internationally in this exciting and dynamic market.”
