TCG Nordica Gallery
Luo Fei (abbreviated Luo below): First I want to thank you Ms. Guojuan and Ms. Yan for inviting me to be the academic director of the “Four Seasons: Summer” Female Artist Exhibition. “Four Seasons Yunnan Female Artist Exhibition” first began in the winter of 2009 and has exhibited “Winter” (2009) and “Spring” (2010). This year’s “Winter” will, like previous exhibitions, see Sun Guojuan assuming the role of curator and Lei Yan that of academic oversight. Can you please introduce the ideas behind “Four Seasons” and explain how you came upon the plan to run an annual series of four exhibitions?
Lei Yan (abbreviated Lei below): The idea of “Four Seasons” was one that Sun Guojuan had early on. Sun Guojuan has always been a leader among Yunnan female artists. She already began practicing contemporary art in the ’85 period. Later she lived for some time in Beijing (1996-2000 and 2006 until now) and brought new art styles back to Yunnan. My own work has also been influenced by her. These years Sun Guojuan has been living in Kunming organizing Yunnan Female Artist exhibitions, for example “Flexibility of Flexibility” in 2004, or “O,” named after the shape of an egg, in 2005. These two exhibitions were not limited to Kunming artists, but also included a few female artists who were living in Kunming at the time. For the Guiyang Biennial in 2007, curated by Ye Yong Qing, Sun Guojuan organized a team of Yunnan female artists for the collaborative piece “Pink”, an enormous furry pink egg that became a highlight of Guiyang Biennial.
Taking a break to gather herself in 2008, Sun Guojuan was constantly debating whether or not she wished to continue organizing Yunnan female artist exhibitions. Based on the popular demand of Yunnan female artists and the encouragement and support of Teacher Mao Xuhui, Sun Guojuan resolved to assume responsibility for organizing exhibitions by the Yunnan Female Artist Group. Following her decision Sun Guojuan proposed the concept for “Four Seasons.” Using an long duration and forward looking method, she began planning a four year long series of Yunnan Female Artist exhibitions. Over the past two years, “Four Seasons” has indeed given many female artists power and opportunities. For example, Ma Dan has said that when she felt bewildered or was overcome by hopelessness, it was the “Four Seasons” exhibition that gave her the strength to continue. She said, “If I can’t create a new appearance every year, then I might as well not be an artist. This four year plan has really encouraged female artists to maintain a creative state.”
Sun Guojuan (abbreviated Sun below): I can also say from experience that many female artists are caught in a very solitary predicament. During the 80’s and the first half of the 90’s, very few people would see my work in any given year. Perhaps in one year not even a single person would come to look at my works. In those days there were few exhibitions and even if there were exhibitions I wouldn’t be there. I think that in the 90’s my relationship with the conditions of Yunnan art was not particularly close.
Luo: During the Long March Project, American artist Judy Chicago, the “founder” of Feminist Art, came to Yunnan and met with female artists at Lugu Lake. Conversations and collaborative projects with her were very important to you, is that correct?
Sun: Yes that’s right. Some collaborative works from that time showed that art could be like this, a comparatively open way of thinking. At that time everyone wanted to make new proposals, try fresh methods, discuss works and collaborate, etc.
Luo: Are you influenced by Feminism?
If the Long March were a Women’s Rights Movement, Photo by Lei Yan
Lei: For me I would say yes. Right now I am working on a series of image-based works named “If They were Women” and “If the Long March were a Women’s Rights Movement,”which involve characteristics typical of Feminist Art.
Sun: I’m more prone to discuss societal problems. Right now I’m working on an image installation named “Stuck on You, Leaving You,” a reflection on travel culture.
Luo: How many artists participate in “Four Seasons”? Can you tell us a bit about how old they are, where they’re from and what kind of work they do?
Sun: On average we have about 37 or 38 artists participating, and many of them are young. This is related to the Yunnan fine arts education system, for example many students of Mao Xuhui at Yunnan University take part in the group. Many of the artists live in Kunming but the majority come from various states in Yunnan, for example Su Yabi or Bai Xuejuan. The works are primarily oil painting and installation, with most of the installations involving manual labor as opposed to readymade items. I hope they can experience the special features of female art for themselves.
Luo: Is Feminist Art the orientation you’ve chosen or is it enough to be female artists? What is the criterion for the artists you have selected?
Sun: It is the art of female artists, not Feminist artists. We have no prerequisites emphasizing Feminism. Rather, our standard is simply a contemporary style. Works must be distinct from traditional and educational institutional styles. They must not be cliché, and they must be the product of an independent creativity.
Luo: You often hold exhibitions in Beijing and other locations. Do you see points of difference and similarity between the Yunnan Female Artist Group and the domestic artists in other areas?
Lei: We are a group, so the individual artists aren’t lonely. I believe the artists of the Yunnan Female Artist Group are quite active and cohesive, much more than other artists in central and Southern China. But last year I participated in a Chengdu exhibition and discovered that the scene there appears to be more active. Sichuan also has a tradition of group movements.
Luo: You remain very open to men; your assistants and academic support, etc. are all men. Do you expect women to fill these roles or is it unimportant?
Sun: We hope women will also fill come to fill these roles, but currently it’s not an option because a more open mentality is needed.
Luo: On the whole, the works exhibited in “Four Seasons” are focused on the artists’ individual sentiments and not societal problems.
Lei: Expressing individual sentiments is a special quality of female art. They’re more focused on internal qualities.
Sun: Today’s society really is like this. We also tend to select works that are focused on internal circumstances.
Luo: In past exhibitions, have there been artists who touch upon International Feminism by using art methods which participate in the public sphere? I am referring to (contemporary art critic) Wang Nang Ming’s concept when describing Lei Yan’s “A Bullet Passes through a Young Heart.”
Sun: No, more of them focus on individual creation. But since commercialization has become so important, many artists have begun to consider whether or not their work could have market value. Consequently, it’s impossible to make works that are very biting. But we encourage young artists to focus on installation or other kinds of art. This can inspire their creativity and prevent market influence.

Luo: Could we say that Yunnan Female Artists are not particularly attuned to the public sphere?
Sun: It could be that they have not reflected on the public sphere, or that they do not know how to express their thoughts. Our artists lack an experimental spirit, their works are always complete and lack experimentation.
Lei: Education is also a factor contributing to this.
Sun: It requires courage. As artists, we fear failure.
Luo: Have you imagined what form or state the Yunnan Female Artist Group may take in the future?
Sun: It will continue as before. Female artists will continue to move us with their art and energy.
Luo: Have the past three years brought any pleasant surprises or disappointments? Did you ever consider abandoning the project?
Sun: The pleasant surprise has been that good works have continually come out. This is most encouraging because the artists do not simply make some works in a year and then bring out one for the exhibition. Rather, they focus on the subject every year in order to produce a special work.
We often meet with artists in advance and express our own opinions. Last year we wrote an “Informing All Artists” letter. This letter was on account of our disappointments and our refusal to give up on any artists. If we do not tell her our thoughts, then when she makes something bad we can only give up on her, but this is not what we want to do.
Luo: Next year will be the last exhibition of “Four Seasons,” Spring. What do you plan to do after “Four Seasons?”
Sun: We will continue. Best would be a four year plan. We would especially like to thank Nordica for their support, really. The words of those people who win prizes are always vapid. They all thank their parents and those that helped them, but afterwards I think more and more that this is very important. Without the help of friends, we really wouldn’t be able to do anything. At the same time, we want to thank Xinghe Group for their help, and Mr. Mao Xuhui for his consistent support.

US says Erdogan-Putin meeting not ‘zero-sum game’
Keywords:TurkeyUSA
Posted By: sabina 10.08.2016
The State Department said Tuesday it does not view the restoration of Turkish-Russian relations as “a zero-sum game” as leaders of Turkey and Russia determined to boost ties after about nine months.
Shortly after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, said in a joint press conference in St. Petersburg that relations would be even better than before, the State Department was asked what the U.S. position was on this.
“We don’t view this as a zero-sum game,” State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said during a press briefing.
She added that Turkey and Russia were both sovereign states and had a lot of common goals such as the fight against Daesh and efforts for a political solution for Syria.
Trudeau also stressed that the U.S. remained concerned about “anti-American rhetoric” in Turkey and said the U.S. didn’t view it as “helpful”.
She said that the U.S. expected all parties in Turkey such as the media, civil society and the government “to be responsible in their statements on this.”
Trudeau did not provide any updates about Turkey’s extradition request for Fetullah Gulen, who is the leader of the Fetullah Terror Organization (FETO) that organized the coup attempt, according to the Turkish government.
Since July 19, Turkey has sent two bunches of documents to U.S. to extradite Gulen. However, the U.S. says it still is reviewing the request.
Trudeau did not share any information about Secretary of State John Kerry’s possible visit later this month to Turkey.

Gifts from Alaska: Fresh Eulachon and Devil’s Club Sprouts
by Miche Genest
Fresh eulachon and devil’s club sprouts.
One of my foraging and chef friends in Whitehorse goes over to Haines, Alaska a few times every year to enjoy the sea and the salt air and do some wild harvesting. She might come back with bags of lambs quarters, she might score a clutch of chanterelle mushrooms or a kilo of spot prawns.
The other day, just back from one of her excursions, she texted me, “Want some fresh eulachon for supper?” She was lucky enough to have been there for the weekend of May 5th, when the eulachon were running. I texted back, “Wow! I’m really not sure. Do I?”
The reason for my hesitation was I’d heard that eulachon oil, a delicacy to the Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest from California to BC to Alaska, can be really strong for the uninitiated. I’d also heard that the fish are so oily that when dried, they can reportedly be lit to burn like a candle. I’d smelled the eulachon being processed beside the Chilkat River last spring. The aroma was powerful. But I’d never tasted the oil, or the fish.
In many parts of the formerly eulachon-rich Pacific Northwest, this small, smelt-like staple of the Indigenous diet has disappeared. Happily, the run is still strong in Haines. My friend said that the Chilkoot River ran black in places, there were so many fish. She tried catching them in a collapsible camping colander, but they were too quick, so she just plunged her hand in and grabbed them, two or three at a time, stuffed them into a pot on shore, slammed the lid on and waded back into the river to grab some more — bouquets of eulachon, the gift of spring.

Back in Whitehorse, after our text exchange, my friend came over with a baby cooler. In it were a baggie-full of eulachon and two good handfuls of devil’s club sprouts. (The only time I’ve ever tasted those sprouts is when she has brought them back for my husband and me. ) She just happened to be in the forest at the right time; one day later and the sprouts would’ve been too big, the prickles starting to harden.
That night we feasted on these two presents from Alaska, kindness of my friend. On her advice, we lightly smoked the eulachon whole, then coated them, still whole, in flour. My husband had just returned from a hike with beautiful ripe juniper berries; I crushed those and added them to the flour, which was local; the last of my supply of triticale flour from Sunnyside Farm in the Ibex Valley.
We fried the fish quickly in butter, and the devil’s club sprouts in butter and garlic. We ate both sprouts and eulachon with our fingers. We peeled the backbone, organs attached, from the fish, split the head to remove the brains and crunched the crispy skulls in our teeth. The flesh was sweet, mild, and silky, not oily at all. The devil’s club sprouts tasted, as my friend’s partner often says, like pure life. Strong, conifer-like, bracing, almost medicinal.
I said to my husband, “We have to really pay attention because we’re not going to taste these flavours again until next spring.” The bonus of eating seasonally, and locally, is that you can savour these experiences for the special treat that they are.
Eulachon and devil’s club sprouts, sizzling and delicious.
Suzanne’s Blog: Berry Bounty Boosts Vitamin C

People often ask what we are doing for Vitamin C over the long Northern winter – in the absence of oranges and grapefruit from the south.
Worry not. No scurvy in this family!
Besides spruce tips and some precious local apples, it is berries that are providing most of our Vitamin C this year.

We have one freezer devoted entirely to berries!
Two of the many awesome women farmers in Dawson are Diana McCready of Emu Creek Farms and Maryanne Davis of Tundarose Garden. Both produce succulent crops of delicious berries – saskatoons, haskaps, raspberries and black currents. Emu Creek Farms even grows some northern cherries! Diana and Ron McCready have the added challenge of having no road access to their farm, it is only accessible by boat.

A late June frost wiped out many of the wild berries that we normally count on. We will be forever grateful to the many Dawsonites who donated some of their precious wild berry stock to help supplement our year. Wild low bush cranberries are a family favourite!
Fortunately, although the wild berry crop was meek, domestic berries thrived!

Berries have become one of our staples: berry sauce on custard, berry and beet muffins, crepes with berry sauce, steamed berry pudding, breakfast clafouti. And one of my new favourites: Saskatoon Berry and Birch Syrup Roast.
Imagine a roast moose or roast pork cooked slowly slathered in birch syrup, Saskatoon berries and garlic. Wicked!

Saskatoon berries and birch sryup are an awesome combination.
Many thanks to the McCready’s and to Maryann Davis for keeping us healthy this winter thanks to their delicious berries.

Art Napoleon on Food, Cultural Revitalization and the Need for Balance
Art Napoleon tends to a saute of rabbit and ptarmigan at Our Camp is Our Kitchen.
When Art Napoleon found he had to cook a selection of wild and cultivated ingredients from a local food “mystery box” over a campfire with three Indigenous Yukon Elders, he said, “Oh no! You’re going to gang up on me.” He had reason to be fearful—Tetl’it Gwich’in Elder Mary Jane Moses, Teetl’it Gwich’in Elder Dorothy Alexie, and Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Elder Peggy Kormandy are all experienced campfire cooks with many years of cooking on the land behind them.
But as participants at “Our Camp is our Kitchen” learned, when it comes to campfire cooking Napoleon is no slouch. He and the ladies transformed the ptarmigan, rabbit, caribou guts, caribou meat, sheep ribs, wild rhubarb, cranberries, birch syrup and a host of other delicacies into soup, stew, fricassee, viande grillée and pudding that fed anywhere from 75 to 100 people. Their cooking fire burned in an galvanized metal drum with a grill set over top; their camp was a wall tent and a tarp shelter in the parking lot beside the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Community Hall.
Traditional pudding made with wild rhubarb and cranberries.
The event was part of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Myth and Medium Conference, held from February 19 to 23 in Dawson City. Napoleon was a special guest at the conference, and the organizers worked him from morning till night, calling several of his skills into play. He arrived Monday afternoon, gave the opening keynote address that evening, cooked all day Tuesday, performed a concert Tuesday evening, gave a talk on food and nutrition Wednesday morning and flew out Wednesday afternoon.
As Napoleon told the audience Monday night, he juggles several careers–singer-songwriter, educator, conservationist, naturalist. He holds an MA in Language Revitalization from the University of Victoria and is a former Chief of the Saulteau First Nation in north-eastern BC. Most recently, he’s co-host of APTN’s Moosemeat and Marmalade with British chef Dan Hayes — an exploration of two very different approaches to cooking wild game, the Indigenous and the classically trained.
Food and cooking are the sinews that tie much of Napoleon’s life and work together. He first learned how to cook on open fires and woodstoves as a child living in Peace River country, and later grew comfortable in modern cooking facilities. He has always loved cooking for people, and one of his approaches to cooking traditional food is to “gourmet it up.”
“It’s given me great pleasure to serve good food to people, especially if I can present traditional food in ways that people haven’t tasted,” he said. “If you want to show the beauty of your culture, food is one way to do that.”
Ptarmigan, rabbit, and thyme.
Napoleon said that at heart he’s an educator, and cultural revitalization is a cornerstone of his life philosophy. “So food is something that fits in there nicely. Food and philosophy and cultural teachings—I don’t really see much difference between those.”
Napoleon, who lives in Victoria, advised people on how to “Indigenize their diet” in an urban context. In his talk on food, nutrition and planning on Wednesday morning he reminded the audience, “If you live in the city there’s lots of ways you can still access your traditional resources.” He goes back to his traditional territory to hunt; he receives packages of wild food from his family; he learns what wild foods grow in his area and goes out foraging. “I can still be an Indian down there, I don’t have to be a Victorian.”
Napoleon also suggested ways of incorporating better nutrition into modern diets, noting that on the land, “People ate clean and they were very active. They were in great shape. Our meats were the original free range organic meats.” Today, he said, “The food industry sucks. It’s all about the money. You’ve got to make it all about health, and make your own choices.”
The reality is that Indigenous people live in two worlds, he added, and even hunters supplement their traditional diet with store-bought foods. “They’ve just become part of the culture.” He laughed. “Red Rose tea is part of the culture!”
He admires Suzanne for her efforts to eat only local food for a year, calling her endeavour “either crazy or brave, and maybe a little bit of both. I think it’s a lot of work, and would take great, great discipline.”
But he shares one of Suzanne’s concerns, mentioned in her presentation on Tuesday evening: how sustainable is her diet? Napoleon asked, “If everybody wanted to do it…would things get over-harvested? What kind of impact would it have on the land? Long ago people managed it in a way that was sustainable, but now there are bigger populations.”
These are questions shared and pondered across Canada and around the world: how do we feed ourselves in a sustainable manner? When the population will potentially reach 9.7 billion by 2050?
As Indigenous people who live in two cultures, Napoleon said, “There’s no way we can survive as an island. That’s the great thing about the Yukon–the divide is not so wide as it is in Souther Canada.” He ended his Wednesday morning talk on an emotional note. “You guys are lucky,” he said, near tears. “You guys who are living in territories that are bringing [the traditions] back.”
Napoleon said he always likes to contribute food for thought in his work. Asked what he would like people to take away from his participation at Myth and Medium, he reflected for a minute and said, “The need for balance. Always remembering that we walk in two worlds, and there’s ways to return to your cultural integrity while still living in these modern times.”
2017: My Banner Year With Local Triticale
Triticale bounty!
On the last day of 2017, I’m looking back on a year of cooking with local foods and reflecting on the highlights. I was lucky enough to spend much of 2017 cooking and baking with a locally grown grain: triticale from Krista and Jason Roske’s Sunnyside Farm, located in the Ibex Valley close to Whitehorse. The Roskes acquired some seed from Yukon Grain Farm in the fall of 2015 and planted it on a portion of their land, intending to plow the plants back under to enrich the soil. But 2016 was such a good growing year that the plant actually matured, a rarity for grain in the Whitehorse area.
From that planting the Roskes harvested about 40 kilos of grain, by hand, and sold small quantities of whole grains, bread flour and pastry flour to customers in and around Whitehorse. I learned about their grain and flour from Jennifer Hall, executive director of the Yukon Agricultural Association, and a great champion of local farmers and their products.
The Roskes delivered one kilo each of grain, bread flour and cake and pastry flour to my house in early 2017. I was in the midst of developing recipes for a cookbook celebrating ancient grains, written in partnership with Dan Jason, a passionate organic farmer and owner of Salt Spring Seeds, and experimenting with all kinds of grains. (Awesome Ancient Grains and Seeds will be released by Douglas and McIntyre in early 2018. Stay tuned for Whitehorse and Dawson launch details!)
The Roskes’s bread flour made a beautiful sourdough pumpernickel-style bread, and the pastry flour produced gorgeous muffins, excellent quick bread, delicious beet gnocchi and most recently, lovely birch syrup shortbread cookies for Christmas.
That triticale got around in 2017. Chef Chris Whittaker of Forage and Timber Restaurants in Vancouver made tiny mushroom tartlets with the pastry flour at a Travel Yukon dinner last February, and in June, chef Carson Schiffkorn and I served whole triticale grain with a morel mushroom-miso butter to guests at Air North and Edible Canada’s Across the Top of Canada dinner at Marsh Lake. I served the very last of the whole grain, with more miso butter, for a media dinner hosted by Travel Yukon on November 26. Everybody loved the story of the accidental success of this beautiful, locally grown grain.
Triticale is not an ancient grain, but a hybrid of wheat and rye first developed in the late 1800s in Scotland and Germany, combining the grain quality of wheat with the hardiness of rye. In 1954 the University of Manitoba experimented with the viability of spring triticale as a commercial crop, and in 1974 the University of Guelph did the same with winter triticale. Winter triticale varieties are particularly good for short-season areas like the Yukon.
For the Roskes, hand-harvesting triticale grain “quickly lost its charm,” reported Krista. However, the success of growing triticale has whetted their appetites for more grain experiments, and Krista said they’re planting spring wheat in 2018. “Fingers crossed we will have wheat for flour by next September. I’ll definitely let you know if it works out!” Last time we spoke, the Roskes were contemplating buying more machinery — perhaps a small combine and a small grain cleaner. “It’s farm evolution,” said Krista.
I’m sad to say goodbye to the last of the whole triticale grains, but very happy that I will be returning from Christmas holidays in Ontario to a few cups more of triticale flour in my pantry at home. Birch syrup shortbreads anyone?

Suzanne’s Blog: Cut Off!
For two days the North Klondike Highway has been closed due to unseasonably warm weather causing black ice and massive frost heaves. This means that my community of Dawson City, as well as the communities of Mayo, Fort MacPherson and Inuvik, are all cut off from the rest of Canada. No road in. No road out. No grocery trucks. No mail. Ten days before Christmas.
Air North, the only airline that links our communities to Whitehorse and hence, the rest of Canada, has managed to squeeze in extra flights during the short window of December daylight, to help transport the many people who are now unable to drive south. But this is not a panacea. Yesterday the plane couldn’t land in Dawson due to bad weather. Some folks won’t get a seat on the plane for another four days. And although the planes can transport people, they can’t supply Dawson and Inuvik with groceries.
So here it is, another reminder of our particular vulnerability in the North. It’s not the first time. It happened on an even larger scale in 2012 when the only road into all of the Yukon was closed due to mudslides – causing the shelves of the many large grocery stores in the Yukon’s capital, Whitehorse, to go bare within a couple of days.
There is no doubt we are seeing the effects of climate change around the world, and especially in the North.
Dawson’s average temperature this time of year should be minus 20° to minus 30° C. For the past two weeks we have had temperatures ranging from plus 2° to minus 10°C. Whitehorse has had above zero temperatures and rain.
This is the second year that the Yukon River has failed to freeze between Dawson and West Dawson. Without an ice bridge, the journey to town for West Dawsonites for supplies is now 12 km instead of 2 km – and currently only passable by foot, skidoo, or dog team.
These are quickly becoming the new norms in the North. Another poignant reminder of the importance of increasing our self-sufficiency and our food security. The importance of lessening our dependence on infrastructure that links us to the south. The reason why I am putting myself to the test and feeding my family of five only food that can be sourced locally for one full year.
I, of course, have enough food to get me through. Many others have freezers full of moose meat. Hopefully, the highway will soon re-open and this event will be considered a mild inconvenience in the memories of many. But should we pass it off so casually? Is it actually the canary in the coal mine. And rather than a temporary inconvenience, a foreshadowing of things to come. A memory that should inspire adaptation and change.
Many studying global food security suggest the answer will be in the development of more local, small-scale organic farms and growers. I agree. And I believe this will be especially important for Northern Canada along with a renewed understanding of what we can source locally from the land. The less we need to rely on ‘one road in, one road out’ the better off we will be.
Bee Whyld Produces “the Champagne of Honey”
Despite its sub-arctic climate, the Yukon is blessed with several apiaries. With care, bee hives can survive the harsh winters, even as far north as Dawson City. This is the profile of one of the Yukon’s honey producers.
Bee Whyld is a small apiary in Watson Lake, Yukon, specializing in producing Fireweed Honey. Owned and operated by Courtney and Joel Wilkinson, Bee Whyld was officially founded in June of 2016, although it had been in the works for a few years prior.

Courtney originally had a job as a salesperson for an Alberta honey company, and was working towards keeping her own bees. On a visit to the Yukon to visit her then-boyfriend Joel, she noticed the fields of fireweed common in the territory. Courtney knew from her experience selling honey that Fireweed is not only one of the rarest honeys, and also one of the best for flavour and medicine, and this sparked the idea to bring bees up to the Yukon and make Fireweed Honey.
Bee Whyld’s hives have managed to successfully overwinter – Photo courtesy of Bee Whyld.
Beekeeping in the North is quite challenging, especially overwintering and maintaining the health of the hives, but through trial and error Courtney and Joel have learned what it takes to successfully produce honey in the Yukon.

Their honey bees gather all of the nectar that they turn into honey from the Boreal Yukon forests, with fields of flowers that are untouched by pesticides, and not genetically modified. Their honey is also both unpasteurized and raw, meaning they don’t heat it at all. This ensures all the natural antibiotics, pollen, and Royal Jelly are still intact within the honey, making it a good choice for medicinal uses (such us helping to heal wounds, helping to fight off infections, helping to reduce allergies, and alleviating sore throats).
Bee Whyld’s Yukon Fireweed Honey has been called “the Champagne of honey.” It is a rare honey prized around the world for its medicinal qualities, and its light sweet taste.

Trying Specklebelly Goose from Old Crow
Specklebelly Geese migrate through Old Crow, Yukon every fall and spring on the way to and from their nesting grounds in the Arctic. Photo by Dee Carpenter
Miche here. When you go up to visit Old Crow you never know what that unique and generous community will send back with you — a haunch of caribou traded for some Taku River sockeye, or several pounds of King salmon roe. This year a friend and colleague presented me with a whole, wild, specklebelly goose.
I had never tasted a wild goose before. Bringing it home to Whitehorse, I plunked it in the freezer while I decided how to cook it.
The specklebelly, or greater white-fronted goose, migrates through Old Crow every fall and spring on the way to and from their nesting grounds in the Arctic. These geese are an important part of the traditional diet in Old Crow.
In early May the hunters were out on the Porcupine River, bringing home the birds for the family pot.
Every year, the hunter who got my goose gives all the women in his family a bird for Mother’s Day. He tells their men, who cook the goose, to follow the magic formula: 2-2-2. That is, slow-roast the specklebelly with two cups of water for two hours in a 200°F oven.
According to Ducks Unlimited, the specklebelly “provides the makings for one of the most delectable wild game meals you’ve ever eaten.”
This cook concurs. I followed a modified 2-2-2 formula, and that specklebelly was the best wild fowl I’ve ever tasted. Thank you Old Crow.

Farming Tradition Lives On at Pelly River Ranch
Pelly River Ranch is the the oldest, continuously working farm in the Yukon territory, located 10 kilometres up the Pelly River from its confluence with the Yukon River. Dale and Sue Bradley are the second generation of Bradleys to run the Pelly River Ranch, and the Bradley family are the fifth in a series of owners dating as far back as 1901, when Edward Menard bought 20 acres on the Pelly River and brought in farmer George Grenier as his partner. The farm changed owners through the years until 1954 when Dale Bradley’s uncles Hugh and Dick Bradley bought the place from the Wilkenson family.
Like their family before them, Dale and Sue and their son Ken run a mixed farm, which means they engage in several agricultural practices. They raise chickens and beef cattle, mostly Hereford and Angus, have a big vegetable garden, and they raise hay to feed their cattle. The Bradleys sell their eggs, chickens and beef to customers in Dawson, Faro and especially Whitehorse. In addition, they supply local markets with a range of root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, rutabaga and parsnips.
Pelly River Ranch mantains a herd of about 50 cattle, which they feed with their farm grown hay as well as fresh forage, from grasses to rose leaves to young fireweed, a feed that gives the beef a wild, natural flavour that Bradley appreciates.
In the year 2000, the Yukon Agriculture Branch presented the Bradley family with the “Farmer of the Century Award” for their nearly 50 years of agricultural work at the Pelly River Ranch.
Vertical Agriculture Coming to Carcross
A vertical agriculture facility is in the planning stages with the goal of having it built in Carcross this fall. This innovative project will be the first of its kind in the Yukon.
Tami Grantham, Natural Resources Coordinator with the Carcross-Tagish First Nation, says: “What attracted us to this technology is the ability to grow greens year-round. It’s a goal and a mission for the government of Carcross-Tagish First Nation to become food-secure.”
Construction would be managed through a new corporation created as a partnership between the Carcross-Tagish First Nation and Northstar Agriculture of which the First Nation will be 51 per cent owner.
The system will recirculate water from a fish tank through a vegetable grow bed. Nutrients from the fish waste feed the plants, and the plants filter the water to keep the fish healthy. In normal aquaculture, excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by bacteria into nitrates, which are utilized by the plants as nutrients, and the water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system.
The vertical part of this type of farming will be in the form of stacked layers that could be up to 10 meters high, in order to maximize production, contained in a warehouse-style space.
Not only would this mean a possibility for fresh local produce and lower food prices in the community, but also the promise of food security, as this system allows year-round growing of vegetables in a sustainable way.
The fish raised would be Tilapia, which is common in farming systems. Vegetables grown would include kale, spinach, and perhaps even strawberries and other vine crops.
Easy Tip for Re-Growing Celery
Regrowing celery – photo by Claus Vogel
Claus Vogel is growing celery from celery!
This is a great way to get more veggie from the bottom of a veggie that you would usually cut off anyway. Take the base from a stalk of celery, rinse it off, and put it in a shallow cup of warm water on a window sill. Change the water daily and keep an eye on it to see if any regrowth begins. You’ll see remarkable results in days and if you want, you can transplant the celery outdoors and have a great harvest at the end of the growing season.
Apparently this also works with romaine lettuce and green onions, and veggies similar to celery like fennel and celeriac. Louise Piché was successful at re-growing ginger from a piece of store bought ginger root, and some adventurous people have even re-grown pineapples from the tops!
Anyone else had any success with re-growing veggies?
Refreshing and Versatile Birch Sap
Birch sap makes a delicious drink fresh from the trees – refreshing water taste with only a hint of sweetness – but packed full of minerals. Birch sap contains natural carbohydrates, organic acids, fruit acids, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, sodium, iron and copper, vitamins B (group) and vitamin C. It is said to have diuretic and detoxifying effects on the body, and it has been used as a folk remedy for many ailments in Europe and Asia for hundreds of years.
But birch sap needs to be consumed right away – it doesn’t last more than 24 hours even in the fridge. Sylvia Frisch, however, tried pressure canning the birch sap and storing it in her root cellar and it preserved very well and tastes great!
Photo by Suzanne Crocker
Also, Sylvia Frisch took advantage of the natural yeasts in birch sap to try and make vinegar. She bottled fresh birch sap last year and added a few raisins or black currents in each bottle and stored them in her root cellar. Suzanne and Sylvia cracked one open last week at Birch Camp and it was a delicious light white vinegar. They have bottled some fresh birch sap with local low bush cranberries this year and will see if they have equal success.
Suzanne talked about her search for locally-sourced vinegar on a recent episode of Yu-Kon Grow It on CBC North’s A New Day with host Sandi Coleman.
See the Bees, Eh? Dawson Hive Successfully Overwinters
The bees look healthy despite of the challenges for Apiculture in the North
David McBurney’s honey bees have survived the winter!
Bees have been successfully overwintered in southern Yukon, but it has been trickier to achieve in the Dawson area due to big temperature fluctuations in March/April, when it can be +20C in the afternoon heat of the sun and -20C at night. David and the bee’s success this winter means Suzanne should be able to add a bit of honey to her local diet for this upcoming year.
Suzanne recently talked about sweeteners, as well as her search for vinegar, on a recent episode of Yu-Kon Grow It on CBC North’s A New Day with host Sandi Coleman.
Are you aware of other honey bees that have been successfully overwintered in Dawson or in areas further North? Let us know.

Pemmi-can-do with Ch’itsuh
Ch’itsuh or pemmican made by Mary Jane Moses from Old Crow
Suzanne is looking for ways to keep her ever-hungry 17-year-old son, Sam, full next year. Sam suggested that pemmican might be a reasonable locally-sourced snack food that will help him get through the year, especially since he spends lots of time doing physical activity. After all, Canada was practically built on pemmican. Trading posts would seek this high-protein and high-energy food from the natives, and it was used to sustain the voyageurs, especially in winter, as they traveled long distances.
Mary Jane Moses of Old Crow shared some of her ch’itsuh (pemmican) with Suzanne. Click here for a couple of classic pemmican recipes:

Yu-kon Grow It – Brian Lendrum: Goat farming pioneer
In this episode of Yu-kon Grow It, Sandi Coleman interviews Brian Lendrum and Susan Ross, who have been goat farming outside of Whitehorse for decades and producing delicious goat cheese.
Pioneers in the dairy business around Whitehorse, Lendrum and his wife found that their area around Lake Laberge had perfect conditions for raising goats, with rolling hills and lots of different vegetation for the goats to enjoy. On a regular basis, they would produce about 30 litres of milk a day, which translates to around 3 to 4 kg of cheese. Every week, they would take around 10 kg of their freshly made goat cheese to the local market, and sometimes sell out within the hour. They also experimented with goat milk yoghurt and sold bottled goat milk.

Celery Flavor All Year Round
One way to have celery year round from the garden is to grow celeriac root. Weird looking but quite flavorful, celeriac root is edible raw or cooked, and tastes similar to the stalks of common celery.
It grows well in the North, keeps well in cold storage all winter, and apparently can have a shelf life of approximately six to eight months if stored properly. You can serve it roasted, stewed, blanched, or mashed, or added to your favorite stews or casseroles. Peel it and chop it and use it in place of fresh celery in cooking. Excellent combined with potatoes when cooking mashed potatoes!

Don’t Judge a Vegetable By Its Cover!
Another tasty, although not so pretty vegetable that grows well in the Yukon is the root called salsify. Don’t let the hairy dark exterior intimidate you. Peel it, and it tastes similar to a very sweet parsnip, and you can eat it raw or you can cook it as you would cook most root vegetables.
Salsify, peeled and unpeeled – photo by Suzanne Crocker
Salsify might not be easily found in the average grocery store, but it actually grows wild in many places in the world, especially the Americas.

But not everything is under the ground: the flowers from the salsify root are gorgeous to look at, and also edible! The shoots can be used like asparagus, either raw or cooked, and the flowers can be added to salads.

Local Fertilizer in Arviat, Nunavut
When you live in a fly-in community in the North, shipping by plane can be very expensive, especially for heavy items such as soil and fertilizer.
The people behind the community greenhouse in Arviat, Nunavut, have taken on the very important issue of food security by devising a strategy to grow their own produce.
And one of the biggest obstacles they have found is that the local soil lacks nutrients. Commercial soil works fine, but it is costly and it needs to be flown in, which impacts the sustainability of the project.

Sweet and Crunchy Local Carrots in January in Dawson?
Klondike Carrots! – Photo by Suzanne Crocker
Yup! Suzanne has been munching on sweet & crunchy carrots from Kokopellie Farm all January. “They taste like they are freshly picked only even sweeter!” offers Suzanne.
Otto Muehlbach, whose farm is in Sunnydale (Dawson), has designed a large root cellar to store carrots, potatoes, cabbage, beets, and other root veggies all winter long. The trick seems to be 2-4 degrees C and keeping the humidity and condensation low. If you can find a way to get to Sunnydale, Otto’s fresh root vegetables are sold from his house on Saturdays between 2 and 5 pm as long as it is warmer than -30C.
It is definitely worth the trek!

Will Martial Arts make my kid violent?
No way! In fact, martial arts makes kids calmer and more respectful than ever. Martial arts always has been about peace, and it always will be.
Can my child get injured with Martial Arts?
As a parent, I'm sure you've seen that kids can get injured doing just about anything. Martial arts is no different, however we take safety very seriously here. Yes, injuries do sometimes happen. But we do everything in our power to avoid them. We do special exercises and stretches to make your child's body limber and flexible.
My child isn't athletic. Can they still participate in Martial Arts if
they're not athletic?
Absolutely. Martial Arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities grow them even more.
Are these Martial Arts classes fun?
Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids howling with laughter, and constantly smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.
Adult Martial Arts
Q: "Is there a risk for injury with martial arts?"
Any sport or form of exercise comes with a risk of injury. However, there are a few things that make our program very safe. It's because of these few things that we barely see any injuries with our program.
Stretching: At the beginning of every class we go through a series of stretches. These stretches get your muscles and joints ready and warmed up for exercise.
Supervision: Every class is supervised by trained, licensed professionals. We watch carefully to make sure no student is doing anything in a dangerous or unsafe way.
In short, we place a tremendous amount of focus on fun and safety. It's because of this that we feel confident telling you that while there is risk for injury with our program - it's a very small risk.
Q: “What level of fitness is required for martial arts?”
People come to us of all fitness levels. We get natural-born athletes, and we get people who have a harder time with athletic endeavors. However, everyone gets the same focus and attention.
If you're not in great shape, don't worry. Go at your own pace, and we'll do everything we can to help you learn each and every technique. Soon enough, your physical fitness will improve, and you'll be in better shape than ever!
Q: “Is martial arts violent?”
No! Because self-defense technique is taught in martial arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind martial arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.

Most likely you'll be in a group class. However we gladly offer private classes for those that are interested. Feel free to ask any of our instructors for more info on private classes!
Q: "How many people are in a group class?"
At peak times, there's between 15-30. Some times have more, some less. But we make sure to have enough instructors to match the class size. That way you always get the attention you need.

It seems like it was just a couple of days ago, but here we are again with a whole boatload of material.
The big new story is that the FBI may have opened whole new can of worms, by investigating Clinton.com for corruption as well as the email security violations
The FBI’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s secret e-mail server has expanded, Fox News’ Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne exclusively report, into a new and more personal direction. While continuing to press on the question of whether Hillary violated the Espionage Act on more than 1300 occasions, they also now have reason to look into whether the former Secretary of State used her office to enrich the family through the Clinton Foundation:
The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible “intersection” of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News.
This track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton’s personal server.
“The agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed,” one source said.
The source told Herridge that this expansion took place relatively early in the investigation — in April 2015. Over 100 agents have now been assigned to the probe, 50 of whom have been “TDYed” — temporarily assigned as the probe has expanded. That’s a rather significant commitment to the Clinton probe, and suggests that the FBI sees a need to do more than just read some redacted e-mails surrendered by Hillary after a long battle.
I've never understood how Bob McDonnell could be charged and convicted for corruption, while the Clintons walked off scotch-free with a much larger influencing peddling operation.
Meanwhile, Hillary’s EmailGate Goes Nuclear, with suspicions arising from the latest releases that she was receiving NSA briefings with the serial numbers filed off through none other than Sid "Viscous" Blumenthal. These, of course would be highly classified at origin, and the State Dept. would have no ability to downplay their classification level. On the scandal of the week, her apparent order to Jake Sullivan to take off the classifications of foreign intelligence and send it to her unsecured email account, Hillary claimed: By ordering “identifying headings” removed, I meant “don’t transmit classified info,” or something. But it sure doesn't read that way.
The Inspector Gadget General of the State Department concluded that the State Department misled public on Clinton emails by denying the existence of the secret Chappaqua server even after it was well known in the Department. Sen. Grassley is not taking the State Departments stonewalling laying down as he steps up Clinton email probe, blocks key nominees. That's not a good as stopping the flow of money, but it will get their attention. Twitchy catches left-wing rag Politico showing sympathy for the devil being tormented by the GOP: ‘So pathetic’: Politico’s take on damning Hillary email is just ‘bad journalism’
On the Bimbo eruption front, Joy Behar says she'd rather vote for a rapist and his enabler than a Republican, and, in fact, she almost certainly did and will. That is liberalism, it is what it is and always what it has been. Insty calls the mass rapists of Cologne "An Army of Bill Clintons." Jonah Goldberg at National Review notes How Bill Quickly Went from Asset to Liability for Hillary’s Campaign.
Dunham in coat at New Hampshire rally
BUSTED: Lena Dunham Is a Liar (Just Like Hillary Clinton)
Dunham told a crowd of supporters Friday that Hillary is so cool because she “believes that the globe is actually warming.” Everyone in New Hampshire should know this, Dunham alleged, because “I didn’t even need my jacket outside and it’s January in New England, you guys.”
Just like her hero.
And demonstrating that, like most Democrats, she's racist Hillary Clinton assumes ‘Making a Murderer’ convicts are black. I confess to not hearing about this series until a few days ago, and haven't waste more than a minute thinking about it.
Meanwhile Clinton’s gamble on Muslims. I'm not sure Obama can make them a voting majority in the next year.

Perez Hilton upsets the Gay Community with his words against Wil.I.Am
Blogger Perez Hilton's antics during an altercation with Wil.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas Monday morning has earned him a stern statement from The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). During that exchange, Hilton, who's Gay, called Wil.I.Am an anti-gay slur. GLAAD's calling for Hilton to apologize:
New York, NY, June 22, 2009 – The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) today issued the following statement in response to a video posted by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, in which he made the following remarks about a confrontation with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and members of the band’s entourage.
"And that is when I made the split-second decision - that I was gonna say what I thought was the worst possible thing that thug [will.i.am] would ever want to hear. As I was standing my ground - without being violent or physical which I would never do - I told him - and you know what? I don't need to respect you and you're a f**. You're gay and stop being such a f***ot."
His statement appears in this video:
"These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community," said Rashad Robinson, Senior Director of Media Programs at GLAAD. “For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, ‘The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,’ is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes.”
“We have reached out to Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this anti-gay slur, and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story.”
Reuters is reporting that Toronto police have charged Liborio Molina, the manager of the Black Eyed Peas, with assault.
“While not all the facts in this case are known, the violence that appears to have been committed against Perez Hilton is unacceptable and ought to be condemned in the strongest possible terms,” said Robinson.
As of this writing Hilton's not issued an apology.

Perez Hilton v. Wil.I.Am | Black Eyed Peas' manager turns himself in
According to Roger Gillies of the Associated Press, Polo Molina, the manager of the Black Eyed Peas, turned himself in to the Toronto police and was charged with assault on Perez Hilton.
Polo Molina
Hilton got into a heated, verbally abusive argument first with Fergie, the popular singer with "The Peas" then with Black Eyed Peas' lead rapper Wil.I.Am early Monday morning. According to videos from both Wil.I.Am and Hilton, Hilton's verbal abuse led to his being beaten by what Wil.I.Am called "a fan" while Hilton said the attacker was the band's manager.
You can learn more with my initial video on this:
And more information's coming as the flow from Twitter is tremendous, but my estimate is it will subside by this time tomorrow unless someone from the Peas makes a new statement, Perez follows up, or another video surfaces.
This subject is now the fourth highest hashtag on Twitter, towering over Tehran; #iranelection remains at number one.

Perez Hilton says Wil.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas beat him up; lying?
Famous blogger Perez Hilton blasted the Twitterverse just under an hour ago (in a story broke by "Tila Tequila" on Twitter) literally screaming that he was beaten up by rapper Wil.I.Am (of the red-hot group The Black Eyed Peas) and his security guards.
I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.about 1 hour ago from Sidekick
This is the full series of Hilton's tweets starting from most recent first:
The Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them.34 minutes ago from Sidekick
I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here.about 1 hour ago from Sidekick
Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel.about 1 hour ago from Sidekick
I'm in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.about 1 hour ago from Sidekick
Is there a gay bar that we can go to with GaGa now that like has a balcony or some place to have fun but be safe?about 4 hours ago from Sidekick
Mission accomplished! I just got a picture with Taylor Lautner!!!! That one is for my fellow fangirls! Xoxo
But Wil.I.Am sent a text to a friend who then posted a photo of it on Twitter which read "What the hell would I be doing sockin Perez Hilton???"
So now it's a case of he-said, he-said. Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, is known for being verbally abusive and in one case was physically assaulted but not for nothing; in that case at a party at the Playboy Mansion, Hilton never reported why he got a black-eye.
Hilton's also known for being an attention hound, so many Twitterers think this is just another ploy by Hilton to get attention that leads to traffic for his blog.
Wil.I.Am just created a video where he explained what happened. The rapper said that it started at an event after the MuchMusic Awards in Canada where Fergie of "The Peas" came up to the blogger and asked why he didn't like their music. Hilton explained it was just the record, but according to Wil.I.Am was "up in her face" and rude to her.
Later, Wil.I.Am encountered Hilton at another club and requested that he not treat the group in such a rude way as he did on his website. But rather than apologize, Hilton said "I don't respect you" to Wil.I.Am, who said "OK. That's cool." But then Hilton, who's Gay, called Wil.I.Am the "F-Word" but even then the lead lyricist for the Black Eyed Peas held his cool and backed off; but an unknown fan didn't and accordind to Wil.I.Am "got all up into him". So it was the fan that assaulted Hilton, not Wil.I.Am; if Wil.I.Am's story is accurate, Hilton lied about the incident.
My read on this is Hilton may have been drunk and a bit out of control of himself, which explains his behavior and the case of mistaken identity.
Hilton didn't stop tweeting. His last posts as of this writing said..
I won't be talking about this any further. It is in the hands of the authorities.22 minutes ago from web
Thank u all from the bottom of my heart for ur concern. The police are investigating the assault now. I did the right thing by reporting it.22 minutes ago from web
For his part Wil.I.Am said "It's all cool; it just got a little crazy."
No kidding.
Susan Boyle Says She Hates "Britain's Got Talent," So Do I!
http://www.zennie62.com - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/a... - After the news of Susan Boyle's admission to a mental clinic for evaluation, I just plain hit the ceiling. I'd followed the stories of Boyle's much-justified outbursts last week - "much-justified" because Boyle was reportedly deliberately harassed by a couple of evil journalists who set out to make her upset - and could not understand how the producers of the now-popular TV Show "Britain's Got Talent" (BGT) would not get protection for Boyle and shield her away from harm.
I then watched in horror as news outlets around the World put all the weight of the issue on her, writing she's "having a meltdown", "SuBo goes loco", or "flies off the handle all the time" or words to that effect, and figured that it was some elaborate PR stunt possibly developed by the BGT minder just to hype up the ratings to see what she would do during the finals, then cement the show's popularity because of the upset loss that was sure to occur since the call-in audience's vote would be effected by the news of her problems.
That's what happened. After the show, Boyle reportedly ran down a hallway screaming "I hate this show." Well I agree with Ms. Boyle 100 percent. The way BGT treated Boyle, and really a portion of the World handled her, says nothing good about our Western culture and everything bad about how we've "evolved" into the 21st Century.
Star Trek Director J.J. Abrams Talks Trek Movie Making with Blunty
A great video of an interview with Star Trek Director J.J. Abrams. He confirmed my earlier contention that the shorter dialog was reflective of "modern times" - not sure that's a good thing but I loved the movie.
Susan Boyle, "Diversity", Win Sunday's "Britain's Got Talent" Finals Round One
Susan Boyle, who electrified audiences around the Internet world with her audition on the UK show "Britain's Got Talent" won the first of five finals rounds today, featuring 40 contestants who made "the cut" on Saturday.
This round featured Boyle, violinist Sue Son, the daring Darth Jackson (a combination of Michael Jackson and Darth Vader), young Natalie Okri , belly dancer Julia Naidenko, (who Telegraph.uk blogger Anna Pickard refered to as "Julia Havalottaconstanants", I'm serious), chainsaw artist Kevin James, and a dance duo called "Faces of Disco", as well as a 67-person dance group called "Diversity."
According to Pickard, who live-blogged tonight's event, Boyle sang at 9:33 PM in London and picked an Andrew Lloyd Webber song that Pickard described as "a musical that begins 'midnight ... doo doo dee doo doo evening'" which reads that it must be the song "Memory".
Pickard explains Boyle had a new hairdo and and "dyed and fitted" dress, but the best news to me is Simon Cowell apologized for the belittling way the judges addressed Boyle before she belted out her amazing rendition of "I Dream A Dream" from Les Miserable and shocked the World. If you didn't see Boyle's first performance, it's worth a review:
It's Not Over, Yet
The audience and judges picked Boyle, along with Diversity and over the performance of young Natalie Okri, who Pickard writes was "standing in the middle of a stage and silently weeping."
That gets eight of the final 40 out of the way. The BGT shows for the rest of the week feature the rest of the finalists. Who will win is still up in the air, with perfomers like Harmony and Shaheen Jafargholi yet to appear again.

American Idol Adam Lambert, Britney Spears Attacked On Stage. Why?
More at Zennie62.com | Follow me on Twitter!
Not too long ago in Western culture it seemed we had this mostly unwritten rule that when a performer was at work, we didn't rush the stage to be with them or follow them around, unless of course they asked us to. Well, in this Internet age the act of rushing the stage and stalking has become all too commonplace, with the latest victim being American Idol star Adam Lambert; pop culture icon Britney Spears faced the same incident just two weeks before.
And the act of stage rushing isn't limited to popular singers on television; a duo named Matt & Kim from Brooklyn were rushed at the annual multimedia event "South by Southwest" (or SXSW) in March.
Who's next, Susan Boyle?
In Spears' case the stage crasher, 20 year-old Kyle King, was a man who was whisked off and arrested by security after Britney let out a scream. By contrast, Lambert laughed the whole deal off - you can hear him - as authorities carried the shirtless woman (not topless as some reports have it) off and away from Lambert. Matt of Matt & Kim said "I don't know if anyone else woke up this morning feeling like they'd been in a brawl," ... "I woke up with a limp!"
I'm sure there are other examples of rushing the stage, but as it seems to be a form of stalking, I wonder if it's not a kind of new reaction by some to the new fame of others. All of the examples have people between the age of 20 and 30 who are doing the stalking, which means they're part of a generation that gets most of its media online -- they're hyper-engaged in media. Moreover, and now I'm spinning a theory as I've not found a study on this behavior in the Internet age, I wonder if those who stalk performers and media content creators in some way feel close to them because of the Internet, and want to complete the desire to "reach out and touch them."
And I'm not claiming their impulse is always harmless. Just ask American Idol host Paula Abdul, who was stalked by a contestant who eventually killed herself outside Abdul's home. Jamie Foxx fought off his stalker last month (what is it with April and March?) as he was in Philadelphia filming a movie.
Some people want to do harm to the simple video-blogger. I use as one example Melissa Compagnucci, a video-blogger who caught Internet fame after CNN discovered her for the CNN / YouTube Democratic Debate in 2007, and even flew her out to be part of the event itself with Anderson Cooper. But after the CNN spotlight, her vlogging attracted a stranger who took to taking pictures of where she lived at the time, just to let her know that he or she knew where she lived!
In Mel's case she just stopped posting vlogs for a few months, which is what I told her not to do. But now, she's back and is working for Ford Motor Company with the very cool gig of driving around the new Ford Fiesta for six months! I'm very happy she's "in the mix" as they say. But as to why people try to scare Melissa (or for that matter me) or any vlogger I don't know. I do know it's more common than it should be , and at least one vlogger was murdered , Asia McGowan last month, and by a nut case who reportedly "scorned Black women, discussed suicide, and decried atheists" and then killed himself.
And I get the same kind of messages she was complaining about; I just don't answer them.
No, I'm not comparing myself to Adam Lambert or Britney Spears, but Asia McGowan, yes. I am writing about those who feel it's necessary to "hate on" someone just because they dare have a media presence. I personally think the local police should have a protection list for entertainers, journalists, bloggers, and vloggers, so they know who we are and we have someone internally to call where we can report someone before its too late. I fear this is getting way out of hand. We've seen the loss of Chauncey Bailey who was gunned down in the line of journalist duty and Asia McGowan for sharing her view on the issues of the day. I don't want to ask who's next and I believe the same mentality that rushes someone like Adam Lambert or Britney Spears would do this to a journalist or a vlogger.
Enough's enough.

Star Trek Movie Stars On SNL To Address Trekkers
NBC's Saturday Night Live staff does it again with this hilarious segment featuring Star Trek's Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine (Spock and Kirk respectively) making an appearance on SNL's "Weekend Edition" to address the concerns of Trekkers who were upset that the J.J. Abrams-directed blockbuster didn't follow "Star Trek history."
(Ha. Which includes me. Well, I was only mildly concerned, and not so much so that I didn't enjoy the movie. It was excellent!)
At any rate, Pine starts opens with an apology of sorts and Quinto follows up by explaining how they did incorporate some well known Trek lore like the "Vulcan PonFar" ritual. Then Pine stumbles on his words while trying to explain the technology of the "Transporter" and just as all seems lost for the two new megastars, Leonard Nimoy walks in to an ovation and saves the day, expaining "Any Trekker who doesn't like the movie is..." something I can't print here but they can say on live television.
What's so funny are the two "Trekkers" in costume in the audience making "We're watching you" faces at the stars during the segment.
All of this fun causes me to wonder if we will see a "Star Trek Blooper Video" with outtakes from the film, much as we enjoyed the Star Trek Blooper Real of the past with some funny errors caught on tape as the cast of the television show was at work.
Hollywood Suprised At "Star Trek" Boxoffice
Meanwhile, Nikke Finke, who's "Deadline Hollywood" blog is the best source for inside information on Hollywood, revealed that not only did Star Trek surprise Hollywood, earning 76.5 million for the weekend, but the audience was 60 percent male, 40 percent female, which surprised me as I expected a 70 percent / 30 percent split based on the demographics for Star Trek videos on YouTube.
Finke writes:
To put that in perspective, a domestic weekend total under $50M would have meant the pic didn't attract a new and younger audience and relied instead on the franchise's older but loyal fanbase of Trekkies. It was risky for Paramount to market the movie as "not your father's Star Trek". But the critical reviews for JJ Abrams' reboot are 96% positive.

New TV Show by Zennie62's On BART and Oscar Grant
On Saturday, May 2nd, my new television show starts. It's called "The Blog Report With Zennie62" and features the use of my video blogs in a weekly 30-minute format broadcast and co-produced by CoLoursTV in Denver. The start time is 3:30 PM Pacific Time, 6:30 PM Eastern Time and the show is replayed at 11:30 PM and 2:30 PM respecfully.
If you don't have a TV you can see the live stream at CoLoursTV.org. or Zennie62.com
The first show focused on selected events that occured after the shooting of Oscar Grant by BART Officer Johannes Mesherle on New Year's Day. It opens with my walk through a riot-ravaged downtown Oakland where I talked with many people about what happened, including a group of kids who were some of the rioters. Then we focus on the words of "DaveyD", America's foremost hiphop reporter and voice of the street, who shares his observations of how Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums handled the situation. And finally we hear from Dellums himself. This is not the last time I will visit this issue, but it's a good place to start the show.
The standard format is to present politics, news, sports, and tech in some combination for each show. Sometimes it's me talking about an issue; other times it's me talking to someone else, and with this show we will feature the work of other video-bloggers. It's a vloggers' playground.
The show will have a deliberate vlogger feel. Videos that you see on my channels at YouTube, Blip.tv, and other places make up the show. There's no studio; the camcorder is the star instrument. That means we can go anywhere at anytime and quickly make a video. It also means I can share what's happening in the news on the blogsphere in video form and show it on "The Blog Report". A lot of ground we can cover considering I never dreamed of having my own television show, but this whole road I've taken has been totally unplanned by me.
"The Blog Report" all started last year when I met Art Thomas who's the Executive Vice President with CoLoursTV at a media walk-through for the Democratic National Convention in Denver. He lived in Oakland before moving to Denver and so we had a lot to talk about. I was looking for a sponsor for our show at the time, so I sent a proposal to Thomas. That exchange turned into an idea for placing our videos on CoLoursTV and that became the concept called "The Blog Report With Zennie62".
Our first concern was how to get the videos up on television without a loss of at least the quality that is seen on Blip.tv and Viddler, which have the sharpest video uploads (that written, I love YouTube and the quality's really improved over time such that it's competitive with the two, but YouTube's best system is the website design and its "viral" nature as well as The YouTube Partner program.) I think we solved that problem and I understand the TV version looks even better than what you're going to see here.
I look forward to your feedback and questions. We're seeking sponsors and there are some organizations we simply want to establish strategic partnerships with, so please contact me. The possibilities for this are many and should serve as an example for a possble future for newspapers as well.
If you're a video-blogger located anywhere in the World and have material that's not longer than 4 minutes tops, notify me via email at zennie@sportsbusinesssims.com and we'll go from there. I prefer the video is already uploaded on some site, Brightcove, Blip.tv, YouTube, etc, so I can see it.
I wish to thank Art Thomas, Damon Purdy, and Tracy Winchester of CoLours TV, as well as Steve and Bernard who made me look good in the promo. I also wish to thank Google / YouTube for their support and encouragement and specifically Chad, Emily, and Hunter. A big loud shot-out to the iReport team at CNN: Lila, Henry, Rachel, David, Nicole Saldi, and the rest. And thanks to the team at CNN Special Projects, Errol and Jessica, and to Roland Martin and his staff at CNN for discovering me. Finally, thanks to the San Francisco Chronicle for seeing the value in how I do what I'm doing and providing a platform. To the National Football League and Commissioner Roger Goodell, Greg Aiello, and Frank Supovitz ("Mr. Super Bowl") And of course, thanks to my Mom and my relatives in Chicago and Tennessee.

Fox News' Roger Friedman's Leaked "Wolverine" Review Gets Him In Trouble With Fox News, News Corp
More at HuffPost: “FoxNews.com entertainment columnist Roger Friedman has drawn the ire of News Corp bosses after writing a review of a leaked version of the upcoming 20th Century Fox blockbuster "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" — and he'll have to answer to Fox News executives in a meeting Monday morning.
Friedman's FoxNews.com column Thursday — since deleted — was a review of "Wolverine" that studio bosses viewed as an implicit endorsement of movie piracy, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily's Nikki Finke.”

Fox News' Female Short Skirts Get Ratings Over CNN
For the first time, according to Nielsen, CNN came in third place in cable news program ratings behind Fox and MSNBC. CNN had 1.14 million viewers in March, compared with 1.16 million for MSNBC and 2.3 million for Fox News. Some say the reason is Fox is conservative; it's really their focus on women anchors with short skirts.
So Fox could be liberal as heck and still have the same ratings if they had the same "sex sells" strategy. There have been a lot of Fox female anchors doing the showing of a lot of leg: E.D. Hill, Ainsley Earhardt , Linda Vester, Gretchen Carlson, and Catherine Herridge to name some of them.
That's a lot of women, and I'm sure I've left someone's name off the list without intention. The point is, it's too much of a habit to ignore, thus it's part of the high ratings, because it builds expectations that a viewer will see women in short skirts, especially in the morning.
Is this a bad thing? Well, yes and no. Look, we can't deny that above all else, television is a visual medium. It's not radio at all. So people react to what they see. Moreover, we're wired to reproduce -- people forget that -- so visual cues that appeal to our sexual nature will get more attention than those that don't.
That's a fact.
I can't blame Fox for this. But I can blame Fox for coupling it with some lame reporting. Much of it's so biased I don't watch it at all. I flip between CNN and MSNBC. And CNN has some attractive female anchors, but they don't present them like Fox does. If they did, I hate to write this, but CNN would overtake Fox for the ratings lead.
The question is will they do this?

Martha Stewart and Lucaris Have Lunch - Seriously
One interesting aspect of taste maven Martha Stewart's life is that she keeps company with some hip members of American Culture, one of them is rapper Ludacris, who had lunch with Martha on March 4th. Here's what Martha wrote on "The Martha Blog ":
Here I am having Lunch yesterday with Ludacris (Chris Bridges). We had a nice salad, paella, and chocolate cake for dessert. He is a nice young man and very, very busy. He is extremely excited about his new flick and new album. Ludacris also really liked the chocolate cake!
But why is this not part of her overall image? A good question that begs for an answer!

Chris Brown / Rihanna: Brown charged with two felonies; details of pop star girlfriend Rihanna's assault revealed
More at NY Daily News: “Disturbing details of Rihanna's car ride from hell were revealed Thursday after R&B singer Chris Brown was charged with beating up the pop star as they drove home from a pre-Grammy Awards bash.
"I'm going to beat the s--t out of you when we get home," Brown screamed, according to an affidavit. "You wait and see!"
But almost immediately Brown began raining blows on Rihanna, who was identified as Robyn F. in the court papers.”
-- This reveals a sick, controlling person who should go to jail for what he did. Ramming her head into the passenger window. Trying to kick her out of his rented car. It goes on and is a terrible story.

"Midnight Cowboy" Featured By Directors Guild of America Theatre in New York City
I got an email from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that they are going to screen the classic "Midnight Cowboy" in New York City, March 16th. You can gain a "taste" for the film from this fan-made trailer:
The Academy reports: "The 1969 Best Picture winner “Midnight Cowboy” will screen for New York audience as part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ “Monday Nights with Oscar®” series on Monday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Directors Guild of America Theatre in New York City.
"Academy Award®-winning producer Jerome Hellman will join Academy Award-nominated actress Sylvia Miles in a post-screening discussion. David V. Picker, the executive-in-charge at United Artist during the film’s development, will moderate the onstage conversation, which also will include actor Bob Balaban, cinematographer Adam Holender, composer John Barry and costumer designer Ann Roth.
“Midnight Cowboy” stars Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight as two mainstream society outcasts who forge an unlikely friendship on the lonely and unforgiving streets of New York City. The film endures as a powerful story of friendship, compassion and redemption.
The tickets are cheap: $5 and the DGA Theatre is located at 110 West 57th Street in New York City. The box office opens at 5:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. All seating is unreserved, which means get their early. For more information, call (212) 821-9251

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, One Beacon Street, 19th Floor, Boston, MA 02108, acts as Administrator to the Funds pursuant to an administration agreement dated June 16, 2006, as amended from time to time. The Administrator provides the Funds with all required general administrative services, including, without limitation, office space, equipment, and personnel; clerical and general back office services; bookkeeping and internal accounting; the determination of NAVs; and the preparation and filing of all financial reports, and all other materials, except registration statements and proxy statements, required to be filed or furnished by the Funds under federal and state securities laws. Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”), located at 4400 Easton Commons, Suite 200, Columbus, OH 43219, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citibank N.A., provides regulatory administration services to the Trust (altogether, the “Regulatory Administrative Services”). For its services, Citi is paid a set fee allocated among each of the Funds.
New altcoins often make unsubstantiated claims about their products. Recently the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed fraud charges against two ICOs it says were sold on the basis of fraudulent claims. China has banned the sale of ICOs, and many individuals familiar with fraud, including the famed Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort, have described ICOs as the biggest scam ever.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, four of the 10 biggest proposed initial coin offerings have used Switzerland as a base, where they are frequently registered as non-profit foundations. The Swiss regulatory agency FINMA stated that it would take a “balanced approach“ to ICO projects and would allow “legitimate innovators to navigate the regulatory landscape and so launch their projects in a way consistent with national laws protecting investors and the integrity of the financial system.” In response to numerous requests by industry representatives, a legislative ICO working group began to issue legal guidelines in 2018, which are intended to remove uncertainty from cryptocurrency offerings and to establish sustainable business practices.[65]
influence the price of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Instruments. In particular, it is possible that the price of the Bitcoin Instruments subsequent to a “fork” may be linked to the price of bitcoin on only one of the resulting Bitcoin Networks, rather than the aggregate price of bitcoin on all resulting Bitcoin Networks. The CFE and CME have announced different protocols for addressing forks.
Although certain securities exchanges attempt to provide continuously liquid markets in which holders and writers of options can close out their positions at any time prior to the expiration of the option, no assurance can be given that a market will exist at all times for all outstanding options purchased or sold by a Fund. If an options market were to become unavailable, the Fund would be unable to realize its profits or limit its losses until the Fund could exercise options it holds, and the Fund would remain obligated until options it wrote were exercised or expired. Reasons for the absence of liquid secondary market on an exchange include the following: (i) there may be insufficient trading interest in certain options; (ii) restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening or closing transactions or both; (iii) trading halts, suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options; (iv) unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (v) the facilities of an exchange or the OCC may not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (vi) one or more exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options) and those options would cease to exist, although outstanding options on that exchange that had been issued by the OCC as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (including through the Subsidiary, as defined below), or “turns over” its portfolio. A higher portfolio turnover rate for the Fund or the Subsidiary may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund has not yet commenced operations as of the date of this Prospectus. Thus, no portfolio turnover information is provided for this Fund.
Qualifying Income described in clause (i) of subparagraph (a) above) will be treated as Qualifying Income. In general, such entities will be treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes because they meet the passive income requirement under Code section 7704(c)(2). In addition, although in general the passive loss rules of the Code do not apply to RICs, such rules do apply to a RIC with respect to items attributable to an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership. Moreover, the amounts derived from investments in foreign currency will be treated as Qualifying Income for purposes of subparagraph (a) above. There is a remote possibility that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) could issue guidance contrary to such treatment with respect to foreign currency gains that are not directly related to a RIC’s principal business of investing in stocks or securities (or options or futures with respect to stocks or securities), which could affect a Fund’s ability to meet the 90% gross income test and adversely affect the manner in which that Fund is managed.
• Interest Rate Risk — The Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury securities and is subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities may fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. The value of securities with longer maturities may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). This risk may be elevated under current economic conditions because interest rates are at historically low levels. Returns on investment in debt instruments may trail the returns on other investment options, including investments in equity securities.
On October 27, 2017, The New York Times published an article discussing the Centra ICO and its use of celebrity endorsements. For this article, the reporters reached out to Defendant Sharma to discuss his and Defendant Trapani’s perjury indictments on October 5, 2017 stemming from Defendant Trapani’s testimony that Defendant Sharma had only one alcoholic beverage the night he was arrested for driving while under the influence. In response to questions on this topic, Defendant Sharma stated, “I’m obviously not comfortable with that situation,” and added “[b]ut it’s not that I did something so intensely crazy that investors need to worry.” (emphasis added). Thus, Defendant Sharma clearly viewed persons who purchased Centra Tokens in the Centra ICO as “investors.”
The SEC staff also has acknowledged that, while a board of trustees retains ultimate responsibility, trustees may delegate this function to an investment adviser. The Board of Trustees has delegated this responsibility for determining the liquidity of Rule 144A restricted securities that may be invested in by a Fund to the Advisor. It is not possible to predict with assurance exactly how the market for Rule 144A restricted securities or any other security will develop. A security that when purchased enjoyed a fair degree of marketability may subsequently become illiquid and, accordingly, a security that was deemed to be liquid at the time of acquisition may subsequently become illiquid. In such an event, appropriate remedies will be considered in order to minimize the effect on the Fund’s liquidity.
"We expect that the futures exchanges, through information sharing agreements, will be monitoring the trading activity on the relevant cash platforms for potential impacts on the futures contracts' price discovery process," CFTC Chair J. Christopher Giancarlo said in an official statement. "This includes potential market manipulation and market dislocations due to flash rallies and crashes and trading outages."
Like all investments, investing in any of the Funds entails risks. The risk factors most likely to have a significant impact on a Fund’s portfolio are called “principal risks.” The principal risks of each Fund are described in the applicable Fund’s Summary Prospectus and additional information regarding certain of these principal risks, as well as information related to other potential risks to which a particular Fund may be subjected, is provided below. Some risks apply to all of the Funds, while others are specific to the investment strategies of certain Funds, as indicated below. Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to those identified as principal risks.
The biggest problem of the Blockchain is its reliance on miners. This is exactly why the cryptocurrency called IOTA (the Internet of Thigs Application) was created in 2016. IOTA also battles increasing transaction fees and network scalability. IOTA’s blockchain is called Tangle. It is a blockchain with no blocks and no chains. In this system, the users themselves are responsible for validating transactions. This means there’s no need for approval from miners; so users enjoy a fee-free transaction and an increased process speed.
Individual shares of the Fund will be listed for trading on [the Exchange] and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market price of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares, and other market factors. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether the Fund’s shares will trade above, below or at a price equal to the value of the Fund’s holdings. Differences between secondary market prices and NAV, the value of the Fund’s holdings, may be due largely to supply and demand forces in the secondary market, which may not be the same forces as those influencing prices for securities or financial instruments held by the Fund at a particular time. Given the fact that the Fund’s shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the value of the Fund’s holdings should not be sustained.
However, there could be a transition stage in which volatility could actually become worse. Large financial trading firms could enter the market to an extent that has not been seen yet, and because bitcoin is so difficult to value (as Warren Buffet put it: “You can’t value bitcoin because it’s not a value-producing asset.”), a lot of different forces will act on its price. Shorts will become more popular, and disagreements on pricing could manifest in the cryptocurrency markets in the form of extreme price jumps, more so than is already commonplace.
Caspian is a full-stack cryptoasset management platform tying together the biggest crypto exchanges in a single interface, so as to facilitate investments in crypto instruments for newcomers and veterans alike.

The Advisor may give consideration to placing portfolio transactions with those brokers and dealers that also furnish research and other execution related services to the Fund or the Advisor. Such services may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following: information as to the availability of securities for purchase or sale; statistical or factual information or opinions pertaining to investment; information about market conditions generally; equipment that facilitates and improves trade execution; and appraisals or evaluations of portfolio securities.
To assist the Advisor in its responsibility for voting proxies and the overall proxy voting process, the Advisor has retained Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) as an expert in the proxy voting and corporate governance area. ISS is a subsidiary of Vestar Capital Partners VI, L.P., a leading U.S. middle market private equity firm specializing in management buyouts and growth capital investments. The services provided by ISS include in-depth research, global issuer analysis and voting recommendations as well as vote execution, reporting and record keeping. ISS issues quarterly reports for the Advisor to review to assure proxies are being voted properly. The Advisor and ISS also perform spot checks intra-quarter to match the voting activity with available shareholder meeting information. ISS’s management meets on a regular basis to discuss its approach to new developments and amendments to existing policies. Information on such developments or amendments in turn is provided to the Proxy Committee. The Proxy Committee reviews and, as necessary, may amend periodically the Guidelines to address new or revised proxy voting policies or procedures.
“Bitcoin Improvement Proposals”, or “BIPs.” If accepted by a sufficient number of miners, BIPs may result in substantial changes to the Bitcoin Network, including changes that result in “forks.” Such changes may influence the price of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Futures Contracts. In particular, it is possible that the price of the Bitcoin Futures Contracts subsequent to a “fork” may be linked to the price of bitcoin on only one of the resulting Bitcoin Networks, rather than the aggregate price of bitcoin on all resulting Bitcoin Networks. The CBOE Futures Exchange (“CFE”) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) have announced different protocols for addressing forks.
The first decentralized cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was created in 2009 by pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. It used SHA-256, a cryptographic hash function, as its proof-of-work scheme.[16][17] In April 2011, Namecoin was created as an attempt at forming a decentralized DNS, which would make internet censorship very difficult. Soon after, in October 2011, Litecoin was released. It was the first successful cryptocurrency to use scrypt as its hash function instead of SHA-256. Another notable cryptocurrency, Peercoin was the first to use a proof-of-work/proof-of-stake hybrid.[18] IOTA was the first cryptocurrency not based on a blockchain, and instead uses the Tangle.[19][20] Many other cryptocurrencies have been created though few have been successful, as they have brought little in the way of technical innovation.[21] On 6 August 2014, the UK announced its Treasury had been commissioned to do a study of cryptocurrencies, and what role, if any, they can play in the UK economy. The study was also to report on whether regulation should be considered.[22]
If a Fund purchases in the secondary market a debt security that has a fixed maturity date of more than one year from its date of issuance at a price lower than the stated redemption price of such debt security (or, in the case of a debt security issued with “original issue discount” (described below), a price below the debt security’s “revised issue price”), the excess of the stated redemption price over the purchase price is “market discount.” If the amount of market discount is more than a de minimis amount, a portion of such market discount must be included as ordinary income (not capital gain) by a Fund in each taxable year in which the Fund owns an interest in such debt security and receives a principal payment on it. In particular, the Fund will be required to allocate that principal payment first to the portion of the market discount on the debt security that has accrued but has not previously been includable in income. In general, the amount of market discount that must be included for each period is equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of market discount accruing during such period (plus any accrued market discount for prior periods not previously taken into account) or (ii) the amount of the principal payment with respect to such period. Generally, market discount accrues on a daily basis for each day the debt security is held by a Fund at a constant rate over the time remaining to the debt security’s maturity or, at the election of the Fund, at a constant yield to maturity which takes into account the semi-annual compounding of interest. Gain realized on the disposition of a market discount obligation must be recognized as ordinary interest income (not capital gain) to the extent of the accrued market discount.
• Investments by a Fund in options, futures, forward contracts, swap agreements and other derivative financial instruments are subject to numerous special and complex tax rules. These rules could affect the amount, timing or character of the distributions to shareholders by a Fund. In addition, because the application of these rules may be uncertain under current law, an adverse determination or future Internal Revenue Service guidance with respect to these rules may affect whether a Fund has made sufficient distributions, and otherwise satisfied the relevant requirements, to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company and avoid fund-level tax.
A Precautionary Note to Retail Investors — The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), a limited trust company and securities depositary that serves as a national clearinghouse for the settlement of trades for its participating banks and broker-dealers, or its nominee will be the registered owner of all outstanding shares of the fund Your ownership of shares will be shown on the records of DTC and the DTC Participant broker through whom you hold the shares. PROSHARES TRUST WILL NOT HAVE ANY RECORD OF YOUR OWNERSHIP. Your account information will be maintained by your broker, who will provide you with account statements, confirmations of your purchases and sales of shares, and tax information. Your broker also will be responsible for furnishing certain cost basis information and ensuring that you receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund. Typically, you will receive other services only if your broker offers these services.
There are so many hoops to jump through to set up for mining and each coin has its quirks. The power of your machine and graphix card and your power consumption are all important. My friend mined for 8month Eth and only made couple of hundred bucks by time you subtract power useage etc. He already had a powerful machine used in film industry for video graphix just sitting around so he thought he’d put it to use over that time for a laugh and see what happened. It took many hours messing around to set up and occassionally nursing it over that period. Of course he had to use his machine also occassionally which compromised the performance.
An increase in cryptocurrency mining increased the demand of graphics cards (GPU) in 2017.[49] Popular favorites of cryptocurrency miners such as Nvidia’s GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 graphics cards, as well as AMD’s RX 570 and RX 580 GPUs, doubled or tripled in price – or were out of stock.[50] A GTX 1070 Ti which was released at a price of $450 sold for as much as $1100. Another popular card GTX 1060's 6 GB model was released at an MSRP of $250, sold for almost $500. RX 570 and RX 580 cards from AMD were out of stock for almost a year. Miners regularly buy up the entire stock of new GPU's as soon as they are available.[51]
When a Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, or buys or sells an option thereon, the Fund “covers” its position. To cover its position, a Fund may enter into an offsetting position, earmark or segregate with its custodian bank or on the official books and records of the Fund cash or liquid instruments (marked-to-market on a daily basis) that, when added to any amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant as margin, are equal to the market value of the futures contract or otherwise “cover” its position. When required by law, a Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to the value of the Fund’s total assets committed to the consummation of such futures contracts.

• Futures Position Limit Risk — Limits on the amount of futures any one entity can hold may negatively impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective if such limits are reached and exceptions to such limits are not granted. Currently the position limits for bitcoin futures contracts are much lower than they are for most other futures contracts.
Each Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders at least annually to qualify for treatment as a RIC under the Code. Under current law, provided a Fund is not treated as a “personal holding company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund is permitted to treat on its tax return as dividends paid the portion of redemption proceeds paid to redeeming shareholders that represents the redeeming shareholders’ portion of the Fund’s accumulated earnings and profits. This practice, called tax “equalization,” reduces the amount of income and/or gains that a Fund is required to distribute as dividends to non-redeeming shareholders. Tax equalization is not available to a Fund treated as a personal holding company. The amount of any undistributed income and/or gains is reflected in the value of a Fund’s Shares. The total return on a shareholder’s investment will generally not be reduced as a result of a Fund’s use of this practice.
Certain debt securities may be treated as debt securities that were originally issued at a discount. Original issue discount can generally be defined as the difference between the price at which a security was issued and its stated redemption price at maturity. Original issue discount that accrues on a debt security in a given year generally is treated for federal income tax purposes as interest income that is included in a Fund’s income and, therefore, subject to the distribution requirements applicable to RICs, even though the Fund may not receive a corresponding amount of cash until a partial or full repayment or disposition of the debt security.
• The bitcoin exchanges on which bitcoin trades are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and, therefore, may be more exposed to fraud and security breaches than established, regulated exchanges for other products. Over the past several years, a number of Bitcoin Exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure, security breaches or governmental regulations. The nature of the assets held at Bitcoin Exchanges make them appealing targets for hackers and a number of Bitcoin Exchanges have been victims of cybercrimes. No Bitcoin Exchange is immune from these risks. Fraudulent activity can increase volatility and have an adverse effect on the price of bitcoin, the general acceptance of bitcoin as an investment or means of currency and could have a negative impact on the bitcoin futures contracts in which the Fund invests and the value of the Fund.
For purposes of this SAI, the word “invest” refers to a Fund directly and indirectly investing in securities or other instruments. Similarly, when used in this SAI, the word “investment” refers to a Fund’s direct and indirect investments in securities and other instruments. For example, the Funds typically invest indirectly in securities or instruments by using financial instruments with economic exposure similar to those securities or instruments.
impede the functionality of the Bitcoin Network and adversely affect the price of bitcoin. Any technical disruptions or regulatory limitations that affect Internet access may have an adverse effect on the Bitcoin Network, the price of bitcoin and the bitcoin futures contracts in which the Fund invests. In addition to technical disruptions such as cyber-attacks, the potential elimination of the net neutrality regulations in the U.S. may have a negative impact on bitcoin and the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Cryptocurrency is based on knowledge sharing on a distributed platform. The entire transactional history is for everyone to see. One blockchain is one thread of transaction. One unit or one block stores many transactions. The size of the block is 1MB and generally stores around 1000 to 2000 transactions. The data entered cannot be altered, nor can it be removed, enabling a system of complete transparency and trust. The entire money flow for the working model is beyond the traditional practices of controlling tax rates, credit usage, and money supply in the market.
The Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Guidelines”) are reasonably designed to maximize shareholder value and protect shareowner interests when voting proxies. The Advisor’s Brokerage Allocation and Proxy Voting Committee (the “Committee”) exercises and documents the Advisor’s responsibilities with regard to voting of client proxies. The Committee is composed of employees of the Advisor. The Proxy Committee reviews and monitors the effectiveness of the Guidelines.
Interestingly, the cryptocurrency market seems to rise and fall simultaneously with the altcoins. Is a systemic issue that causes this harmonious rise and fall of prices on the exchanges? The answer is a little fuzzy, but there are several factors at play. Most exchanges use Bitcoin as the universal trading currency, which leads to many investors buying and selling Bitcoin to buy and sell altcoins. When bitcoin starts a bull run, many of the altcoins fall, as investors jump on the Bitcoin train and vice versa. It’s also systemic because most exchanges require Bitcoin rather than fiat currency to transact. It is easy to invest fiat currency in the market and then leave there as an investor trades it; moving it from one currency to another and not cashing it back to fiat currency. Furthermore, When the Bitcoin price falls or rises against the fiat currency, all the altcoins will usually follow. This is because all altcoin prices are based on their Bitcoin exchange rate, not their fiat currency exchange rate. The value of an altcoin in fiat currency is the value of the altcoin in Bitcoin and then Bitcoin’s value in that fiat currency. It is Bitcoin that strongly affects pricing.
In cryptocurrency networks, mining is a validation of transactions. For this effort, successful miners obtain new cryptocurrency as a reward. The reward decreases transaction fees by creating a complementary incentive to contribute to the processing power of the network. The rate of generating hashes, which validate any transaction, has been increased by the use of specialized machines such as FPGAs and ASICs running complex hashing algorithms like SHA-256 and Scrypt.[38] This arms race for cheaper-yet-efficient machines has been on since the day the first cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was introduced in 2009.[38] With more people venturing into the world of virtual currency, generating hashes for this validation has become far more complex over the years, with miners having to invest large sums of money on employing multiple high performance ASICs. Thus the value of the currency obtained for finding a hash often does not justify the amount of money spent on setting up the machines, the cooling facilities to overcome the enormous amount of heat they produce, and the electricity required to run them.[38][39]
A number of companies that provide bitcoin-related services have been unable to find banks that are willing to provide them with bank accounts and banking services. Similarly, a number of such companies have had their existing bank accounts closed by their banks. Banks may refuse to provide bank accounts and other banking services to bitcoin-related companies or companies that accept bitcoin for a number of reasons, such as perceived compliance risks or costs. The difficulty that many businesses that provide bitcoin-related services have and may continue to have in finding banks willing to provide them with bank accounts and other banking services may be currently decreasing the usefulness of bitcoin as a payment system and harming public perception of bitcoin or could decrease its usefulness and harm its public perception in the future. Similarly, the usefulness of bitcoin as a payment system and the public perception of bitcoin could be damaged if banks were to close the accounts of many or of a few key businesses providing bitcoin-related services. This could decrease the price of bitcoin and have an adverse effect on the price of Bitcoin Instruments and therefore adversely affect an investment in the Funds.
Institutional markets for restricted securities have developed as a result of the promulgation of Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, which provides a safe harbor from 1933 Act registration requirements for qualifying sales to institutional investors. When Rule 144A securities present an attractive investment opportunity and otherwise meet selection criteria, a Fund may make such investments. Whether or not such securities are illiquid depends on the market that exists for the particular security. The staff of the SEC has taken the position that the liquidity of Rule 144A restricted securities is a question of fact for a board of trustees to determine, such determination to be based on a consideration of the readily-available trading markets and the review of any contractual restrictions.
• An interruption in Internet service or a limitation of Internet access could have a negative impact on bitcoin. The Bitcoin Network relies on users access to the Internet. A significant disruption of Internet connectivity could impede the functionality of the Bitcoin Network and adversely affect the price of bitcoin. Any technical disruptions or regulatory limitations that affect Internet access may have an adverse effect on the Bitcoin Network, the price of bitcoin and the bitcoin futures contracts in which the Fund invests. In addition to technical disruptions such as cyber-attacks, the potential elimination of the net neutrality regulations in the U.S. may have a negative impact on bitcoin and the Bitcoin ecosystem.
There's a lot of ins and outs which can get confusing in arbitrage trading. We won't go into the technicals of why futures contracts trade at a premium to spot price. You can read a full explanation here. If it's not of interest to you, all you need to know is that there's a tendency, the further out in time the futures contract expires, for the premium to spot to be higher and higher in nominal percentage terms.

Super George Brothers
In 1981, George created a ground-breaking side-scrolling video game, Super George Brothers. The game chronicled George's love of eating weird mushrooms he would find on the ground, running around without a shirt, and his penchant for jumping on turtles (George had issues back then, which he has since resolved. However, he still goes into nervous convulsions when he sees a turtle poking its head out.)
George's macho style was sadly covered in clothes in the Nintendo remake.

Play With George's Balls!
Unfortunately, after George's Basket Ball Company, Play With George's Balls!, experienced significant losses due to lawsuits surrounding his latest game, "Grab George's Nutballs" (in which players were encouraged to fight other players in order to keep a ball filled entirely with peanuts), George was forced to sell his video game to the Nintendo Corporation in 1985 so that he could defend the lawsuits.
Undiscouraged by this setback, George teamed up with Neal to develop another video game, this time based upon Neal's chosen career in family law. After years of development, George and Neal are set to debut their game, Divorce Court Hero, in 2013.

Jaguanst Causes Climate Change
In a landmark, decade long study that George and Neal published the results of in 2012, it was discovered that the biggest cause of global warming was actually the consumption of carbonated beverages. Every can or bottle of jaguanst (that's soda or pop to you unenlightened ones) consumed by the world's population releases a small amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All that fizz really adds up. As a result of the study world governments immediately banned all carbonated beverages, resulting in dramatic reductions in CO2 emissions around the globe. Subsequently, the drastic cooling effect caused the beginning of the next ice age by 2015.

My first meeting with Maggie Sinton was at an evening at the Central Greenough Historical Settlement. Maggie was chatting with different people about loved ones that had passed. When she came to my table, she began chatting with other people on the table, when she had finished with them, she did not want to move on, saying it felt like there was someone who had broken their neck or had a lot of pain in their neck. My Mum had recently passed after battling cancer which had spread and was on her spine between her shoulder blades. She went on to say a few things, but then she said that I should look after myself and go to bed at a decent time. I had just started having problems sleeping and no one knew of this. There were other things that Maggie got right, but by seeing Maggie on thus evening, she helped me grieve for my Mum.

I have seen Maggie when she has visited Geraldton on 2 occasions, the first i was amazed with the things she was telling me, I have seen a few different mediums and by far Maggie has been the best. She is an amazing woman that loves to give back to the community. The second was a private session with a few close friends and family, by far the best session. Maggie is honest and upfront, has an amazing life story truly has a gift.

You are one gifted lady
Maggie is a very gifted lady that has been given very special abilities to be able to give very accurate personal psychic readings and many more services.I ha ve been luckily enough to have had several very accurate personal readings over the years by Maggie while living in Western Australia. Within the readings Maggie has revealed information that only I know and has been accurate about locations and time frames.

We met Maggie in approx. 2008 when I first went for a reading. Over the years to come it has developed to a friendship taking us on many a journey. Maggies readings on all levels are extremely accurate and I find myself saying: ” Maggie said that! We have recently had channellings with Maggie. The spiritual guides and mentors if you would call them that, are very informative and have a wicked sense of humour. There are many messages brought through both on a personal level and on a planetary level. I find her very exact information to have soothed an aching heart and at times although I have answered my own questions Maggie has backed it up. My partner and I love her and know she is the real deal.

Maggie blew me away
The first time I met Gypsy Maggie Rose I was sceptical. Then she blew me away with all the things you’re taught not to believe. She knew a family members death and how he had his puppy with him. When I booked to see her all I gave was my first name. Maggie has helped me learn about crystal healings and many other things through the veil. She knew things I can’t fathom to know the knowledge of. Things about my life and my family history and my past lives. I am very blessed to know Gypsy Maggie Rose and being able to call her a friend is a high honor.

So grateful
I was lucky enough to secure an appointment with Maggie and she had recommended a spirit guide reading for me. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Maggie had asked me to write down questions to ask during the reading and I did, but I was overwhelmed as during the reading, Maggie channelled 3 of my guides who actually answered every single question that I had written down before I even had time to speak! I was blown away. This reading just gave me so much clarity and direction and it re-affirmed that I was on the right life path. People often say, listen to your guides, but I had always had trouble hearing mine until this reading. I am so grateful to Maggie for doing this reading for me. It has completely helped me to refocus and to feel confident about a lot of areas in my life. If you are feeling confused and are struggling to hear or feel from your heart….this reading will help you to see your way forward. Thankyou Maggie. Very grateful.

LOVED the psychic development course!
After 10 weeks with Maggie I have to say how much I loved this course! I’ve learned so much over the weeks, I’ve become more in tune with my own psychic abilities, and have grown as a person in my confidence in trusting my feelings/senses. If your thinking of doing the course, don’t hesitate. My time with Maggie has been wonderful, she is wealthy in knowledge, she knows her stuff! You’ll hear glimpses of her magical, wonderful life along the way. I was in awe of everything she spoke about. I’m already missing our weekly lessons and hope to learn more from her in the future.

Wow….. What an eye opener!
My first personal reading with Maggie was a real eye opener because Maggie came out with names rather than saying things like “You have someone in the family whose name begins with A” she just came out and asked “Who’s Alan?” And she asked me who James was and before I could say anything she corrected herself and said no Jimmy. This was an uncle of my husband. We were the only ones to invite him to our wedding. Then Maggie told me Jimmy was looking after me. This made me feel so happy. There were lots of other things that Maggie got spot on. Thank you Maggie.

I have known Maggie for eight years. During this time I've had annual readings from her in which she's brought through many different dearly departed relatives and friends. The detail and accuracy of information and knowledge about my spirit visitors she's imparted over the years has not only blown me away but also given me comfort and clarity during times of loss and grief. Her mediumship abilities are of the highest calibre. In the last twelve months I've learned so much (and had such an incredible spiritual journey) through experiencing her Grandmother Crow Moon Lodges - there are many who claim to know the ancient ways but this Lady has been trained by her family in the ways of The Romany and rightly earned the title of High Priestess in The Craft. She has my respect, she has my trust and it's an honour to know and recommend Maggie. I wish her every success now and always.

Mysteries with Honest Detectives and Sad Endings: Netflix Codifies Art
This article pushes all my buttons.
The more I learn about the way Netflix determines their categories, but more convinced I am that they’re doing something really useful that will soon apply to all entertainment media. To summarize the article briefly: not only have they created over 75,000 separate “genres” (called “altgenres” at the company) but they rate and categorize films according to a very complex system of metrics. How gory are they? How romantic? Where are they set? What job does the protagonist hold? How happy is the ending?
Hiding behind those 75+K genres are all sorts of ratings that Netflix pays careful attention to. If you watch a lot of movies in the Action categories but consistently turn off the gory ones before the end, Netflix will stop suggesting action movies with a high gore rating to you. Other kinds, sure, but not that one.
I’d hoped books could get a system like this with Game of Books, but they didn’t deliver. The project was sold or abandoned, and backers’ pledges were returned.
I still interested in a system that could do something similar with books. Bleak mysteries with an honest detective and a sad/tragic ending ought to be easier to find than they are, but the personal recommendations I get through social media haven’t scratched that itch. Those books were one disappointment after another. Would the Game of Books have managed it? Would “Netpages”?
Obviously, a system like this would never be perfect; Netflix’s certainly isn’t. That’s why I miss Netflix’s “Random” category, since my recommendations are now swamped with kung fu movies and British crime shows. (And why not? Love ’em!) Random allowed me to see recs beyond what the algorithm thought I wanted.
For Netflix to survive, it has to connect subscribers with shows they love over the long term, but sometimes its recs are so narrow that we only get to see a thin slice of what they offer. Basically, they hide most of their library. Before she moved in with us, my niece thought she’d seen everything of interest the streaming service offered. Now she’s binging on all sorts of shows. That suggests that Netflix’s algorithms are too restrictive right now. More variety is needed.
As for books, well, variety is not the problem. Covering them all would be the problem. Still, I think it’s inevitable.
I know there are people who will recoil instinctively from the idea of breaking down books into component parts in order to categorize them, but I can’t help but think that, if readers were able to look for “Contemporary Fantasy Crime Fiction with a Sad Ending”, I might still be writing Ray Lilly novels.
Genres are just descriptions for the marketing department, after all. I suspect we’re coming to a time when book classification is going to have to get much more granular.

Everyone wanted the Goat to start in Qatar as soon as possible. At the approval interview, the Client suggested “1st July, or sooner if possible,” and was thus over the moon to learn that the Goat could be available on 26th June.
And so it was that the Goat was sent a ticket to Fly Dubai on Saturday evening. Such a pity that the 45-minute flight took rather longer than that to get off the ground.
First, all passengers were bussed out to the aircraft and left waiting for ten minutes. Then a nice man with a fluorescent waistcoat told us that we’d “have to be returned to the terminal for a few minutes for technical reasons.”
Ah, yes. Good old “technical reasons.” What non-technical reasons might prevent a scheduled flight?
We all had to pass through Security again, so it was once more off with shoes, belts, watches, phones... What exactly is Security looking for? We were marshalled under supervision from the terminal to the bus, then from the bus into the terminal. There are very few opportunities to acquire guns, explosives, drugs or sharp objects on an airport shuttle bus. Perhaps someone was spotted sharpening a pencil with his nostril.
“A few minutes” is difficult to define, other than “more than one.” It turned out to be 50 before once more we queued fragrantly to board the bus.
Once aboard, the Captain apologised profusely. He explained that he was not happy with one of the aircraft tyres, and it had been quicker to change aircraft than to drive over to Quik-Fit.
Then Engine No. 2 refused to start. More apologies from the pointy end. Eventually, the Captain explained that the starter motor was being changed, and would everyone kindly bear with us? Like we had any choice, what with the steps having been removed from the doors.
Nevertheless, full marks for the captain for telling his self-loading cargo what the problem had been (instead of hiding behind the vagueness and obfuscation of “technical reasons”), that it had been resolved, and of course, he apologised.
And so, three hours later than advertised, Fly Dubai got airborne.
There was, of course, an enormous queue at Doha Arrivals. It took over half an hour to clear Immigration. This is normal in Doha International Airport on Friday and Saturday nights. The Goat speculates on how the authorities who have been unable to speed up Passport Control since 1996 are planning to deal with thousands of footie fans who’ll inevitably descent on Doha en masse in 2022. There appears to be an elephant in the room.
At least the company-provided temporary accommodation proved acceptable. It’s a one-bed apartment with an excellent sea view and allocated parking. The Goat wasted no time in obtaining a rental car, this being rather more preferable to waiting interminably for company drivers.
And the job started in earnest on the first day, and is utterly exhausting. No slow start for this Goat!

Take this tablet every day
It was coming up to that time of the month when the Goat needed a visa run. For those not in the know, British passport holders without Residence Visas are allowed to enter the UAE and stay for up to thirty days. It’s possible to leave the country and then re-enter for a further month.
Following the Goat’s redundancy and subsequent cancellation of his UAE Residence Visa, the first visa run was to Bahrain. Instead of simply arriving and flying straight back, Beloved Wife accompanied the Goat, and both enjoyed a splendid weekend with friends.
The plan included scuba diving in the gin-clear waters off the Bahrain coast, but soon expanded to include a black-tie dinner dance at the Golf Club. Neither Beloved Wife nor Goat actually play golf (or SwishBugger, as it was more accurately portrayed the following day on the driving range) but that didn’t prevent a hugely entertaining and very liquid evening from taking place. Other weekend entertainments included Nix’s horse, where she rode and Goat, (who’s not been on horseback since 1991 and that was for about half an hour) taking photos, and a slightly naughty drive in a Corvette. Heh, heh, heh!
Almost a month later, and the Goat contacted his prospective future employers to remind them about the Contract of Employment, and a note that the start date really ought to be before his current UAE visa expired. And so it was that the Goat found himself on a day trip to Doha last Wednesday.
Fly Dubai leaves Terminal 2 at 7am, so the alarm went off at an unearthly 4am. Almost unbelievably, there is actually another four o’clock. An alarm clock that rings when the hour hand is on the right-hand side of the clock face is uncivilised.
How is it, the Goat wonders, that so many people who can afford designer luggage, decent clothes and air tickets seem unable to afford soap? One of these fragrant individuals was so desperate to get on board the aircraft that he pushed and shoved the Goat on the steps. As if the Boeing is going to drive off and get airborne leaving irate passengers on the apron.
“Please. Go past me, if you think it’s that important.”
And then the Goat had the delight of standing in the aisle waiting while the said gentleman manhandled his very large designer luggage into the overhead bin.
Whilst on the subject of whinging about people and things, why do people at Immigration seem actively to seek out empty pages in a passport? Perhaps they are in collusion with government agencies who stand to make a tidy profit by selling regular travellers a new ten-year passport every three years. The Goat has also noted that the tin-pottedness of a particular regime appears to be directly proportional to the size of the visa applied to a passport.
The day trip turned into two job interviews with the same firm that had already appointed the Goat, or so he’d been led to believe. But the appointment was confirmed. Huzzah! Starting date is the end of the month.

I have some good news and some bad news
The title looks like the start of some sort of joke, but it isn’t. Everything that follows is true, for a given value of true.
The good news:
I have a new job. O frabjous day! Calloo callay! And a decent pay rise to boot.
The bad news:
It’s in Qatar.
Actually, the prospect of going back to Qatar doesn’t scare me nearly as much as it might concern some long-term UAE expatriates. I started there on 2nd July 1996, and it looks as if I’ll be starting again almost fifteen years to the day later. Obviously there are now domestic issues to address. Beloved Wife is staying in Dubai pro tem owing to contractual obligations, so I can imagine that between us we’ll spend the rest of 2011 running up an astonishing number of Air Miles.
Another piece of bad news is that the authorities in Qatar do not permit οἱ πολλοί to import private vehicles that are more than five years old. And so the Goatmobile is up for a very reluctant sale. I’m working on figuring how to import the bike.
If you don’t live in Qatar, and you’d like a 2004 Prado that’s been pimped and blinged for desert driving and weekend campouts, drop me an email on
TheGrumpyGoat@gmail.com. Its got 157Mm on the clock, full Al Futtaim service history, hasn’t been pranged, and it can be yours for Dh70,000.

"The trees are strong, my lord. Their roots go deep."
I thought biofuels were supposed to be carbon neutral. Not according to this recent report commissioned by Friends of the Earth. It seems that bio-ethanol and bio-diesel are going to produce more carbon dioxide than the fossil fuels that they’re supposed to replace.
In fossil fuels, CO2 that was photosynthesised into organic matter thousands of millions of years ago is released into the Earth’s atmosphere. Strictly speaking, ‘back into’, but because the planet’s atmosphere has changed since the Carboniferous age, let’s assume that burning fossil fuels creates new CO2 that causes a greenhouse effect, melts the polar ice caps, and generally annoys Ursus maritimus.
Now, what we were previously sold was the idea that biofuels were carbon neutral. You plant a field of, say, sunflowers. They grow, photosysnthesise, and turn sunlight into sunflower seeds. Processing those sunflower seeds, peanuts, oil-seed rape, sugar cane, or whatever, produces a liquid fuel that you burn in your internal combustion engine to produce energy, releasing the CO2 back into the atmosphere. That’s the important bit: ‘back’. If the cultivation and manufacturing processes also use a biofuel energy source, there is zero increase in atmospheric CO2 levels.
But this is wrong, according to Friends of the Earth. The report says that over the next 20 years, converting European land (presumably moors, forests and other non-agricultural land) will produce around a billion tonnes of CO2 as a one-off: equivalent to ‘up to’ an additional 6% of total European Union transport emissions in 2007.
Where is all this extra CO2 going to come from? Destroying the trees? ‘Land-use change’ appears to assume that the trees are all torn down and burned in a vast bonfire.
Therefore we should leave the trees alone, right? What would happen if those trees were not replaced by fields of biofuel crops (that are basically carbon neutral)?
The trees would eventually die and rot away, releasing all their CO2 back into the atmosphere, that's what.
If we cut down the trees and made furniture, what would become of that furniture when it’s old and broken? Landfill? Firewood?
It doesn’t matter if we leave those trees untouched, burn them, or turn them into tables or boats, all the CO2 absorbed by the trees is ultimately headed back into the atmosphere. Pretending that trees absorb CO2 for all time is self-deluding to the point of being disingenuous tosh.
What does the FoE report suggest we do? Lobby to reduce the amount of biofuel in our petrol. Amend biofuel policies and prioritise energy efficiency and renewable electricity. What it doesn’t say is where all this renewable electricity is going to come from without, presumably, turning vast areas of natural wetlands into tidal power stations, putting enormous windmills on every hilltop, or mining the planet for cadmium, indium, gallium, palladium, selenium, silicon and tellurium to make photovoltaic panels. At least silicon is almost literally as common as muck.
Meanwhile, what we really need to do is throw away our gas-guzzling cars and aircraft. Go back to horse-drawn transport. But wait: doesn’t a horse consume biofuel feedstock and turn it into energy and carbon dioxide?
Perhaps Friends of the Earth and their ilk would advocate that we go back to a simpler age when the human population of the planet was a lot smaller. But that’s too politically incorrect to suggest, isn’t it?

BILL PLYMPTON AT COMIC-CON
Several readers have expressed concern that corporate art-- big institutional projects from major studios and multinational software companies-- will swallow up individual creative voices at Comic-Con. But each year I encounter artists who are indigestible and irreducible stones in the belly of the dragon. They refuse to compromise their creative vision (or perhaps they're just incapable of reining in their personal eccentricities).
I encountered Bill Plympton, the famously independent animator and illustrator, sitting at one of the few tables without a ten foot full color banner of semi-nude space nymphettes. If his booth had a Dolby soundtrack, it was out of commission during my visit. If Plympton brought a funny barbarian hat, it was nowhere in sight.
What Plympton's booth offered instead was Plympton, sitting on his ass and drawing with a plain old ball point pen, surrounded by piles of original animation drawings and books about his work.
Plympton has become justly famous for his offbeat, highly personal, subversive animation:
From Santa: The Fascist Years (2008)
Plympton maintains such control over his art, he is one of the few artists in the history of animation who insists on doing every single drawing himself.
You'd think with that much drawing, his fingers would be worn to little nubs. Yet, as we compared notes on illustrators we both admired, he picked up a pad and drew my portrait with his ball point pen. He is apparently inexhaustible.
Here are scans of his original drawings:
There is an excellent book about Plympton's life and career. His description of Disney's lucrative contract offer rivals Faust's meeting with Mephistopheles:
I was hoping that I could work on the Disney projects during the week and during my off-hours and weekends I could work on my own weird offbeat projects. "Sure," the lawyer said. "That's fine, and you have our permission but we'll own whatever you create."
"What about if I tell someone a funny story?" I rebutted.
"We own that," he said.
"What if I have a dream?"
"That's ours too."
Plympton walked away from a lot of money in order to save his work from the corporate de-flavorizing machine. He has made good use of his expensive freedom.
I think Plympton is the real McCoy, with a distinctive individual voice. I would never have had an opportunity to chat with him and look at his originals up close, if not for Comic-Con.

Plympton's work is all over youtube. He's really talented.

.....Plympton walked away from a lot of money in order to save his work from the corporate de-flavorizing machine. He has made good use of his expensive freedom. I think Plympton is the real McCoy, with a distinctive individual voice.....
My first association with Plympton are his short animations used for a series about the final days of the Soviet Union and the early nineties in Russia. [1] The visual element of that work was very appealing. The narrative element was Yeltsin as the enlightened guy against the assorted communist forces of darkness who, in the film, ended literally down a toilet. I sensed an alarming bias: the enlightened guy bombed a peopled parliamentary building, and presided over a national demographic disaster bigger than Stalin's purges and Holodomor put together. In the short period between 1991. and 1994., the average lifespan in Russia declined from 64 years to 57 years [2]. Without 'contributions' such as Plympton's, the world would have shown more mercy to the millions of victims of post-communism.
When I look at the Plympton's work you provided, again I see a distinct degree of viciousness.
And this can illustrate a thesis about the illustration business:
A "distinctive individual voice" is deeply ambiguous. Such voices come in such different flavours - that you may regret asking for one. Authentic creators exist like different animal species.
To illustrate one genera, one may bring up Gustav Rehberger: "My career was not easy," said Rehberger in one interview. "It seemed I was always going upstream and against the grain."
Another kind is Plympton, who follows fairly mainstream concepts (the mainstream has gone cynical), and who fills his work with so much negativity that his potential opposition is either extinguished or frightened. Of course, to be Plympton you need to invest an enormous amount of time and effort; but so you do to live as a draught oxen.
I recall, David, that you said you don't sense any particular coldness / harshness about the drawings of Leonard Starr. So, I expect that in Plympton's work you just see a healthy rudeness, authenticity, wonderful skill... be my guest.
[1] these are apparently not listed on the imdb; still, they were in his very recognizable style
[2] Stuckler & Basu (2013)
I don't know Plympton's politics but I like his cartoons. Hanna Barbera and Marvel Animation make tons of boring shit so we need a little viciousness to fight back.
MORAN-- Yes, there's a lot of Plympton's animation work available on line.
Levantine-- I looked through Plympton's autobiography but didn't spot any reference to the Soviet films you mention, although I suppose it's always possible. Let's put aside for the moment your claim that the Yeltsin years were a "a national demographic disaster bigger than Stalin's purges and Holodomor put together" or that the animated movies you describe influenced world opinion about "the millions of victims of post-communism"-- both of which seem highly improbable. I'm happy to engage on them, but they seem less pertinent than the underlying question about judging art by it moral content.
Plympton struck me as a perfectly friendly, good natured guy but I don't disagree that some of his work has a "vicious"-- or at least dark -- tone. His work is neither sanitized nor homogenized like standard corporate fare is. Individual DNA, with all of its interesting quirks, is almost eradicated in big studio work which is financed by institutional shareholders and cross-licensing deals with fast food franchises, however beautiful the result may be. It seems to me that Plympton's work is certainly part of the "crooked timber of humanity." Furthermore, I'd say it is recognizable and true. I can understand your personal preference for other aspects of human nature, but are you suggesting that Plympton's art is inferior because of its subject matter? How do you feel about the work of George Grosz, John Cuneo, R. Crumb, Steadman, Kollwitz, etc?
Anonymous/JSL -- You reinforce my answer to Levantine, above-- There are metric tons of bland, meaningless cartoons out there with flavorless, unobjectionable drawings. They make you yearn, every once in a while, for contrast in the form of viciousness.

Rox – Memoirs
‘Rox’ is the nom de plume of Roxanne Tataei, a half-Iranian, half-Jamaican retro soulster. Her music is less intriguing than her background, though, and fits firmly in the Amy Winehouse/ Duffy/ Adele mould.
The opening track No Going Back sounds like a statement of intent. It showcases some impressive vocals and finds the right balance between the modern incarnation of RnB and the old incarnation of soul. The rest of the album is, unfortunately, a patchwork which at times seems to chime with the bravura of the opener and at others sinks into a morass of mediocrity. So highlights such as the bouncily infectious I Don’t Believe and the snappy and sharp Page Unfolds contrast with the rather insipid and listless Heart Ran Dry or the vapid ‘Rocksteady’. Given her Jamaican heritage, it would be tempting to think that reggae/ska would be a stronger suit than some other elements of the album. Rocksteady disabuses you of any such notion and is probably the weakest cut on the album – sounding like a track whose idea of reggae comes from a UB40 b-side.
Rox, happily, avoids the self-indulgent vocalisations a la Mariah Carey where, for example, the word ‘love’ can end up with ten syllables and end in a range that only bats and particularly senstive dogs can hear. Sadly the same lack of self-indulgence doesn’t stretch to the production. Sleek it may be but on the slower numbers all the knob twiddling gets in the way of the actual songs.
The strongest songs here provide evidence that Rox could match her retro-soul peers. There are, though, rather too many wrong turns for the album to truly convince. Different collaborators and stronger material might see her move forward. But even those stronger tracks don’t provide much that is sufficiently different or better than that provided by the others currently occupying the retro-soul niche.

But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber.

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Roger Morneau Expose Of Satanism
[1] In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
[2] Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
[3] And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
[4] The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
[5] And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
[6] After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
[7] After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
[8] I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
[9] I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
[10] A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
[11] I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
[12] As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
[13] I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
[14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
[15] I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
[16] I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
[17] These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
[18] But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
[19] Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
[20] And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
[21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
[22] Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
[23] Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
[24] And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
[25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
[26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
[27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
[28] Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me but I kept the matter in my heart.

Lockdown at Trans-Pecos Pipeline
SUBHEAD: Indigenous Americans consecrate site in West Texas to resist another Energy Transfer Partner pipeline.
By Candice Bernd on 10 January 2017 for Truth Out -
(http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/39031-lockdown-at-trans-pecos-pipeline-site-in-west-texas-consecrates-new-indigenous-led-resistance-camp)
Image above: Drumming circle begins at site of Trans Pecos Pipeline. Photo by author. From original article.
An Indigenous Water Protector and an Alpine, Texas, resident were arrested Saturday morning after locking themselves to pipe-laying equipment at an Energy Transfer Partner (ETP) easement and work site in Presidio County, Texas. The lockdown temporarily halted construction on the company's 143-mile Trans-Pecos pipeline that, if completed, would carry 1.4 billion cubic feet of fracked gas from West Texas to Mexico every day.
The action was the first to be organized by a new Indigenous-led prayer and resistance camp on private land in far west Texas' pristine Big Bend region. The camp is acting in solidarity with the Sacred Stone and Oceti Sakowin camps' historic standoff against the Dakota Access pipeline at the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota. The same Dallas-based company is behind both the Trans-Pecos and Dakota Access pipelines.
Jakki Hagans and Mark Glover, the two Water Protectors arrested Saturday, have been working to organize the "Two Rivers" or "La Junta de Los Rios" camp as members of the Society of Native Nations (SNN) and the Big Bend Defense Coalition (BBDC), respectively, during the last several weeks. They were each charged with trespassing and released on $250 bonds that same afternoon.
"It isn't right what [ETP] is doing," Hagans, who is Cherokee, told Truthout as she sat, locked to a sideboom (a machine used to lay pipe) during the frigid morning hours on January 7 before police arrested her and Glover. "It isn't right that they're able to take the land from people. It's not right that they're able to run these pipelines, contaminate the water with their fracking. It's not right that they don't care about the people."
The high-pressure Trans-Pecos pipeline is already close to completion and is billed to run from Coyanosa, Texas to the border near Presidio, Texas -- cutting right through the heart of the Big Bend area's ecologically sensitive Chihuahuan desert bioregion, a place that is both breathtakingly serene and extremely remote.
The region is one of the only areas of the state that has, until now, remained unadulterated by oil and gas infrastructure. Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, who was the world's richest man from 2010 to 2013, and ETP CEO Kelcy Warren head the pipeline project.
Saturday's lockdown is not the first direct action to target the Trans-Pecos pipeline.
On December 6, three Alpine residents with the BBDC chained themselves to the entrance gates of an ETP construction site, halting work on the pipeline.
That was before the Two Rivers camp was up and running, and this weekend's action consecrates the aims and ambitions of the new camp, whose elders facilitated a prayer ceremony before Saturday morning's lockdown and regularly led sacred practices at the Two Rivers camp. A second camp in Alpine, Texas, is also supporting the Water Protectors.
In fact, Two Rivers' elders and Water Protectors are working directly with Indigenous leaders at Standing Rock. An Indigenous Environmental Network delegation from Standing Rock is planning to meet with Indigenous Water Protectors at the Two Rivers camp this week to engage in prayer and ceremony, and to provide additional training to the camp's new Protectors as they anticipate dozens more will flock to the camp in the coming weeks.
"Many of us went out there to Cannon Ball to show that support and that solidarity, and if anything, the biggest teaching we got out of there was the power of unity -- and that's what we need here," said SNN Executive Director Frankie Orona, who is Borrado of Texas and Tongva, Chumash of California. "This is what we need now. This is what we need in Texas -- is that power in unity. So we need our people to come together from all different states."
The land the pipeline has horrifically scarred is Lipan Apache and Conchos territory, and the Native Water Protectors organizing the Two Rivers camp say they are protecting their sacred sites in much the same way Standing Rock's Water Protectors are. Truthout has previously reported that many such sacred sites, including potentially Indigenous burial sites, have already been destroyed or are threatened.
Alpine archaeologist and member of the Big Bend Conservation Alliance David Keller told Truthout he witnessed ETP's bulldozers in September grinding through an 18-acre area on private land in Brewster County surrounding a desert watering hole called Trap Spring.
The site is home to artifacts from the Late Archaic period, including at least 10 bedrock mortars, seven robust ring middens -- what Keller calls "earth ovens," dating back more than 5,000 years -- seven prehistoric hearths and two stone enclosures believed to have been used for wikiups or tipis.
The site is rare in the region due to its particular historical significance, according to Keller. The site was once part of a larger formation of spring vents along the eastern front of the Davis Mountains, and is situated along an ancient trail network stretching from Mexico up through Leon Springs in Fort Stockton, Texas, and on farther north. It contains arrowheads and glass beads once heavily traded along the trails.
ETP claims to have adjusted its construction route to avoid disturbing the artifacts after its own archeologist recommended the site be avoided. However, Keller said that ETP has only tested for cultural relics one foot beneath the topsoil even though many artifacts in the area of the floodplain of the Rio Grande are at least three feet beneath the surface. The Trap Spring site's State Archaeological Landmark status was pending at the time ETP set its bulldozers to it.
The Two Rivers Water Protectors are also fighting for state and federal recognition of Texas tribes. The state of Texas has only recognized two tribes, the Lipan Apache and the Texas Band of Yaqui Indians, and many unrecognized tribes don't have access to legal protections for Indigenous remains and artifacts that also mandate consultation with tribes, such as the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and section 106 of the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act.
Those protections only apply to federally recognized tribes and/or federal agencies or projects dealing with federal funds, permits, licenses or lands. Only three federally recognized tribes reside in the state -- a reflection of the history of federal and state extermination campaigns, family separation, and forced relocation and assimilation.
Two Rivers Indigenous Water Protectors also oppose ETP's other pipeline project that will carry fracked gas to Mexico. Even the project's name is racist: ETP's "Comanche Trail" pipeline takes its label from the Comanche Nation who were forcibly removed from Texas in the aftermath of the Comanche Wars. During the conflicts, the tribe used the Comanche Trail that crossed West Texas through the Big Bend region.
The Two Rivers camp's Indigenous-led resistance is taking shape in Texas' border region, and is about a 40-minute drive from a Homeland Security border checkpoint. Resistance around the "Comanche Trail" pipeline is responding to a unique set of political circumstances, since the federal government itself appears cautious about plans for the pipeline.
Two Rivers Water Protectors say the border reveals the federal government's priorities when it comes to regulating pipelines, noting that while the federal government easily greenlit ETP's pipelines to cross major waterways like the Rio Grande and the Missouri River (before historic Indigenous resistance), it showed more hesitation regarding ETP's plan to route the Comanche Trail pipeline under the border fence and under the federally-owned Franklin Canal, filing an injunction to halt construction on the pipeline in November, and filing another motion to ensure the Department of Homeland Security has an opportunity to review ETP's route.
However, Two Rivers Water Protectors emphasize that the US/Mexico border has little relevance, when it comes to their sacred sites and sacred lands.
"A lot of the lands that [ETP] is going through are sacred sites of Indigenous people from this land on both sides of the border. That border didn't always exist. This land was very sacred to them, very important to them. There's burial grounds everywhere, there's places they lived, as they moved and transitioned throughout this land," Orona told Truthout.
Kiani Naranjo, another Two Rivers Water Protector who descends from the Lenca people of El Salvador, agrees. "This land was originally part of the Americas before colonization, so before there was borders and before we were separate countries, it was all one land that belonged to the Indigenous people of the Americas, which is my ancestors and my future descendants, hopefully, and the ancestors of all my brothers and sisters that are here," she said.
The Water Protectors and their allies want full environmental assessments on the entire length of both pipeline projects, not just for the areas that would be crossing the border. Opponents of the Trans-Pecos pipeline have been pushing for such a review for some time.
As Truthout has previously reported, the fight against the Trans-Pecos pipeline has been ongoing for more than two years. Throughout that time, conservationists, landowners and area residents have filed hundreds of comments with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is tasked with regulating a portion of pipeline slated to cross under the Rio Grande.
The Two Rivers Water Protectors fear the Rio Grande may become contaminated and they requested that the agency conduct an environmental review of the pipeline, but the request was denied last May. Moreover, landowners have banded together to oppose the company's use of eminent domain, filing several suits against ETP over condemnations of their property.
Now, with all institutional avenues for halting the pipeline exhausted, BBDC is linking up with SNN to use nonviolent direct action tactics, similar to the way in which East Texas landowners linked up with environmental organizers to resist the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline in 2011 and 2012 after pulling every institutional lever they could without success.
Like the Keystone XL, the Trans-Pecos pipeline is primarily an export pipeline, making ETP's claims that they have condemned landowners' property for "public use" fraudulent. (TransCanada, the corporation behind the Keystone XL pipeline, made similar claims in relation to condemnations.)
As Truthout has reported, while ETP and Carlos Slim have said the fracked gas is intended for Mexico, where furious "gasolinazo" protests and blockades over a 20 percent hike in state-set fuel prices are heating up, the reality is that the gas would be shipped overseas to Japan, where officials are looking to shut down nuclear power plants and replace that energy supply with fracked gas after the Fukushima disaster.
The primary financial backers of the pipeline include the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation in Japan, according to industry reports.
Beyond the pipeline, Two Rivers Water Protectors say they hope they can galvanize a larger resistance to the development of the recently discovered Wolfcamp shale field in West Texas, the largest shale field ever assessed in the US. The shale contains 20 billion barrels of oil and 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
That resistance is already taking shape with another camp in Toyahvale, Texas, which formed concurrently with the Two Rivers camp. The city is home to the locally known and loved spring of Balmorhea State Park, and hopes to stop the development of the nearby shale fields by the Apache Corporation. The Houston-based company announced last fall that it could drill up to 3,000 wells over the next two decades.
"Because of [Texas] laws that protect people buying mineral rights, [oil and gas companies] are going to be able to do whatever they want, and I'm not sure how people are going to be able to stop the fracking other than criminal trespassing -- getting on them, getting in the way," said Lori Glover, who was arrested representing the BBDC during the December 6 lockdown:
"There's really just not much out there to support what the community wants to do to protect the environment, to protect our lives."
As the oil and gas industry continues to cement its dominance over the legal and regulatory process in Republican-dominated statehouses -- as well as federally, under an incoming Trump administration -- actions like Glover's have become all the more necessary.
Meanwhile, Indigenous organizers are pointing to the struggle around the Trans-Pecos pipeline as part of a larger movement, carrying on the work of Water Protectors at Standing Rock.
"What happened in Cannon Ball ... sparked a movement," Orona said. "It's up to the rest of us, and all the other surrounding communities and surrounding issues that involve the destruction of our Earth; it's up to us to try our very best to continue that momentum in our own communities -- and that's what we're doing."

Colitis, Ulcerative

Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic inflammatory condition of the colon which results in diffuse friability and superficial erosions on the colonic wall associated with bleeding. It is the most common form of inflammatory bowel disease worldwide. It characteristically involves inflammation restricted to the mucosa and submucosa of the colon. Typically, the disease starts in the rectum and extends proximally in a continuous manner. In the United States, the disease accounts for a quarter million physician visits annually and medical costs directly related to the disease are estimated to exceed four billion dollars annually.[1][2][3]
The specific cause of inflammatory bowel disease is not known. There seems to be a primary genetic component since the most important independent risk factor is a family history of the disease (8% to 14% of patients). A first-degree relative of a patient with ulcerative colitis has four times higher risk of developing the disease. Additionally, ulcerative colitis has a higher incidence in Jewish populations than other ethnicities.
Although there is little evidence to support this, it has been postulated that alterations in the composition of the gut microbiota and defects in mucosal immunity could lead to ulcerative colitis. Autoimmunity may also play an important role in the etiology of ulcerative colitis.[4][5]
Worldwide, the highest incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases are seen in Northern Europe and North America. Inflammatory bowel disease is closely linked to a westernized environment and lifestyle. Ulcerative colitis has an incidence of 9 to 20 cases per 100,000 persons per year. Its prevalence is 156 to 291 cases per 100,000 persons per year. Compared to Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis has a greater prevalence in adults. When considering the pediatric population; however, ulcerative colitis is less prevalent that Crohn disease.
Ulcerative colitis has a bimodal pattern of incidence. The main onset peaks between the ages of 15 and 30 years. A second, and smaller, the peak of incidence occurs between the ages of 50 and 70 years. Though some studies show a slight predilection for men, most studies note no preference regarding sex. There is an increased prevalence of ulcerative colitis in nonsmokers or those who recently quit smoking. Additionally, smokers diagnosed with ulcerative colitis tend to have milder disease, fewer hospitalizations, and need less medication. There is evidence, though weak, that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use is associated with onset or relapse of ulcerative colitis.
There is also an association of inflammatory bowel disease with the removal of an inflamed appendix. Appendectomy before the age of twenty is associated with a decreased incidence of ulcerative colitis; whereas the opposite is true for Crohn disease. In fact, appendectomy has been shown to reduce the risk of developing ulcerative colitis by 69%.[6][7]
The pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis involves defects in the epithelial barrier, immune response, leukocyte recruitment, and microflora of the colon.[8][9]
The epithelial barrier has a defect in colonic mucin, and possibly tight junctions, leading to increased uptake of luminal antigens. The lamina propria of the mucosa also has increased number of activated and mature dendritic cells which include a large number of Toll-like receptors (TLR), specifically TLR2 and TLR4. There also seems to be an atypical T-helper (Th) cell response in patients with ulcerative colitis, specifically Th2, which exerts a cytotoxic response against epithelial cells. Other immune-related factors that play a role in the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis include tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin 13, and natural killer T-cells. Levels of IgM, IgA, and IgG are elevated in inflammatory bowel disease; however, a disproportionate increase in IgG1 antibodies is found in patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
Leukocyte recruitment is affected on two fronts. There is an upregulated release of the chemoattractant CXCL8 in ulcerative colitis so that Leukocytes are recruited to the mucosa from systemic circulation. Additionally, there is an upregulation of mucosal addressin cellular adhesion molecule-1 (Mad-CAM1) on the endothelium of mucosal blood vessels which promotes leukocyte adhesion and extravasation into mucosal tissue.
Studies have shown that enteric microflora is important in the pathogenesis and severity of inflammation and disease phenotype. Ulcerative colitis seems to also result, in part, from a homeostatic imbalance between enteric microflora and the host's mucosal immunity. This results in an aberrant response to non-pathogenic bacteria.
Histologically, the mucosal layer of the colon in a patient with ulcerative colitis includes infiltrates of varying density and composition, depending on the stage of the disease. These infiltrates primarily consist of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and granulocytes, with the latter being more prominent during acute flares of the disease. Additionally, goblet cell depletion, ulcerations, and alterations in mucosal crypts are sometimes apparent. These findings might also be present on histological evaluation of the distal ileum, even though ulcerative colitis is a disease confined to the colon. This is backwash ileitis.
Ulcerative colitis's main symptom is bloody diarrhea, with or without mucus. Associated symptoms also include urgency or tenesmus, abdominal pain, malaise, weight loss, and fever, depending on the extent and severity of the disease. The onset of the disease is typically gradual, and patients will likely experience periods of spontaneous remission and subsequent relapses. Factors that typically exacerbate ulcerative colitis include smoking cessation and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use.
There are some extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that are also present in 10% to 30% of patients with ulcerative colitis. Extraintestinal manifestations associated with disease activity include episcleritis, scleritis, and uveitis, peripheral arthropathies, erythema nodosum, and pyoderma gangrenosum. Extraintestinal manifestations independent of colitis activity include axial arthropathies, sacroiliitis, and ankylosing spondylitis. A significant hepatic extraintestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis includes primary sclerosing cholangitis and is associated with a greater risk of colorectal cancer.
Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis is made clinically with supportive findings on endoscopy, biopsy, and by negative stool examination for infectious causes. Because colonic infection can produce clinical findings indistinguishable from idiopathic ulcerative colitis, microbiologic studies for bacterial infection and parasitic infestation should be included in the initial evaluation.[10][11]
Radiologic examinations are not critical for the diagnosis but may be useful. Patient's with longstanding ulcerative colitis may show "stovepipe" sign on double contrast barium enema (DCBE).
Colonoscopy or proctosigmoidoscopy might reveal loss of typical vascular pattern, granularity, friability, and ulceration which involve the distal rectum and proceed proximally in a symmetric, continuous, and circumferential pattern. The disease can range from disease isolated to the rectum and sigmoid colon (proctitis) to disease of the entire colon (pancolitis). Population-based studies show that, upon presentation, proctitis is found 30% to 60% of patients, left-sided colitis is found in 16% to 45%, and pancolitis is found in 14% to 35%.
Laboratory evaluation will usually reveal an increase in inflammatory factors (ESR, CRP, leukocytosis), especially during an acute flare. Regardless of disease stage, 60% to 70% of ulcerative colitis patients are positive for perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA). P-ANCA is also found in a small number of patients with Crohn's disease. In addition to P-ANCA, anti-saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) are found in both Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis but are more prevalent in Crohn disease, therefore testing for both P-ANCA and ASCA has some utility in distinguishing types. Testing for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) can also be helpful in ulcerative colitis as higher levels can indicate a flare.
Testing for fecal calprotectin also has some utility in the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, though it is nonspecific. Fecal calprotectin correlates with increased neutrophils in the intestine and therefore can be helpful in ruling out inflammatory bowel disease. Studies show that less than 1% of patients with low fecal calprotectin are likely to suffer from inflammatory bowel disease.
When a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis is made, the most common classification system used to determine extent and severity of the disease is the Montreal classification system. Extent (E) is determined by endoscopic evaluation and includes E1 (Proctitis), E2 (left-sided or distal colitis), and E3 (pancolitis). Symptoms and systemic findings determine severity (S). It ranges from S0 (remission) to S3 (severe).
Treatment choice for patients with ulcerative colitis is based on both the extent of the disease and the severity. The prognosis during the first decade after diagnosis is often generally good, and most patients go into remission. Rectal application of medical therapy, via suppository or enema, is usually appropriate for isolated distal disease (proctitis); however, a rectal application is usually used in combination with systemic therapy to help target the distal colon and therefore decrease tenesmus. [6][12][13]
First line treatment is sulfasalazine and 5-aminosalicylates, given orally or rectally, which have a remission rate of about 50%. Glucocorticoids, orally or rectally, can be added for those who fail to achieve remission within two weeks. Except for glucocorticoids, all of these medications can be used in the maintenance of remission. Additionally, there is some evidence that probiotics are helpful in attaining remission. Fecal microbiota transplantation also shows promise in the treatment of ulcerative colitis to help establish healthy gut microbiota.
If patients are refractory to glucocorticoids, thiopurines or biological drugs can be added to therapy. Thiopurines are immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine. Biological drugs include anti-TNF-alpha drugs, such as infliximab, adalimumab, and golimumab. Infliximab is the most widely used for ulcerative colitis and can be used in severe cases during hospital admissions. The newest class of biological drugs are anti-adhesion molecule inhibitors, such as vedolizumab, which blocks alpha-4-beta-7 integrin.
Since patients with ulcerative colitis have reduced expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) in their colonocytes, future treatment may include (PPAR-gamma) agonistic activity. PPAR-gamma is a negative regulator of NF-KB-dependent inflammation. Novel 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) analogues are being developed that have greater PPAR-gamma activity. Cardiotoxicity and metabolic toxicity restrict the use of existing PPAR-gamma agonists.
Colectomy is curative in patients with ulcerative colitis since the disease is restricted to the colon. Indications for surgery are a failure of medical therapy, intractable fulminant colitis, toxic megacolon, perforation, uncontrollable bleeding, intolerable side effects of medications, strictures, unresectable high-grade or multifocal dysplasia, cancer, or growth retardation in children. The procedure of choice is proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA); however, in patients who are ineligible for IPAA proctocolectomy with ileostomy is a viable alternative.

Pearls and Other Issues
There is an increased risk of colorectal cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis. The risk is cumulative, with a 2% chance of colorectal cancer after ten years of diagnosis, 8% after 20 years, and 20% to 30% after 30 years. Two factors associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer are the duration and extent of the disease.
Ulcerative colitis is a systemic disorder with no cure. All patients with the disorder need lifelong monitoring. Because of the risk colorectal cancer, surveillance colonoscopy should occur every 1-2 years. Further, since patients are often treated with biological agents, they need to undergo screening for melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer. Patients with risk factors for osteoporosis need screening for bone mineral density periodically. Patients should be encouraged to undergo annual vaccination against influenza and the pneumococcus. Finally, many patients with ulcerative colitis develop depression and anxiety and should be referred to a mental health counselor.[14][15]
Ulcerative colitis has no cure and despite treatment, many continue to have increased bouts of stool frequency. An increase in mortality is usually seen in elderly patients, those with complications like infection, shock, anemia and those who require repeated surgical interventions. Data show that when the disease involves the muscularis propria, it can lead to bowel dysmotility, necrosis and gangrene. A certain number of patients also develop toxic megacolon with poor outcomes. It is estimated that about 5% of patients will develop colorectal cancer over time. The risk of colon cancer is higher in patients with pancolitis and in patients whose disease started before the age of 15. Overall, the quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis is poor.

Tax the sick: Obama's new plan
By Dick Morris & Eileen Mc Gann
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Faced with a need to scrounge for revenue to fund his plan for health care, President Barack Obama and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus have come up with a brilliant new idea: Tax the sick!
In a new amendment to the health care bill, they propose to limit the deductibility of medical expenses on income taxes.
Now, taxpayers may deduct any medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of their Adjusted Gross Income. Obama and Baucus want to raise that threshold to 10% as long as the taxpayer is under 65.
Eight million Americans are sick enough and poor enough that they have to pay more than 7.5% of their income in medical expenses. And it is these folks that the liberals Obama and Baucus plan to tax! Six million of them earn less than $75,000 a year!
For a family earning $75,000 a year and facing out-of-pocket medical bills of $7, 500, this proposal would cost them about $600 a year in extra taxes.
And let�s remember who it is that they are taxing. This proposal affects people whose incomes are so limited and whose medical costs are so high that they exceed 7.5% of their pre-tax income.
Their proposal literally hopes to raise $20 billion over ten years by taxing sick people.
The Democrats defend their proposal by saying that it would discourage health care spending. But nobody deliberately spends 7.5% of their income on medical costs unless they are pretty sick and needy.
Obama and Baucus have singled out the sickest among the middle class for this heinous tax. (The poor will not have to pay it because they are eligible for Medicaid). Originally, the Democrats continued their war on the elderly by proposing to tax everyone who spends more than the 7.5% threshold on medical costs. But they retreated when it became clear that six million elderly would be hit with the tax. Now they just sock it to eight million sic k, middle income Americans.
This tax, and their desire to cut Medicare and Medicaid by $500 billion, makes Obama and Baucus unlike any Democrats I have ever known. Democrats, at least when I worked for Clinton, defended the elderly and the sick rather than cut the former and tax the latter.

The Foley follies
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | The political news from Washington has become an absolute epicurean delight. If I dine more sumptuously on the Foley Follies I shall be in danger of becoming crapulent. Of course, we need not dwell on the Hon. Foley. Days ago this pathetico became only a peripheral figure in this delightful story.
Revolve this in your mind. The Democratic Party, that is to say, the party of homosexual rights and homosexual marriage, is hounding the Republican Party, that is the party of family values, for extending due process to one of its own, the Hon. Foley, a homosexual Republican congressman, once a Democrat and the founder of south central Florida's Lettuce Patch Restaurant. Parents, even vegetarian parents, will want to steer their young as far away as possible from that cutely named restaurant.
Precisely what were the Republicans to do about the Hon. Foley? On this the Democrats are unclear once their indignant oaths fall silent. Apparently the dull House Speaker Dennis Hastert was supposed to have been monitoring his colleagues on the Hill and leapt to action at the first sign that one was sending dirty messages to pages though it is only slowly becoming known even by us readers of the vigilant American press who those pages are, how old they were and whether they were baiting Foley for sport.
The Democrats have several other problems. They are the party that let the Hon. Gerry Studds remain in Congress for more than a decade after he seduced a male page with booze. About the time he was caught a Republican congressman from the Midwest was accused of seducing a female page. The Republican was not re-nominated. And then there is the Hon. Barney Frank, a beacon of virtue and intelligence in the House of Representatives to this day. It was discovered some years back that a homosexual friend of his was running a house of ill repute out of Frank's Washington apartment. What did the Democrats do about these indiscretions?
Or for that matter, what are they going to do about the discoveries of Jeffrey Lord? Writing in Spectator.org, Lord reports on Rep. Nancy Pelosi marching in a 2001 gay pride parade in San Francisco. Today Pelosi sounds like this: "Republican leaders admitted to knowing about Mr. Foley's abhorrent behavior for six months to a year and failed to protect children in their trust." However, according to Lord, in that 2001 gay pride parade who was striding a mere three spots away from Pelosi but Harry Hay, founder of The Mattachine Society and a strong advocate of man/boy love. Upon Hay's death in 2002 the North American Man/Boy Love Association ran on its Web site several of his marmoreal declarations, one being, "Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they should know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world." Frankly I would have suggested that shooting hoops is important too, but silly old me.
Now I think we can all agree that sending dirty e-mails to pages whether 16, 18, or whatever their ages might be is reprehensible and if done at taxpayers' expense still more reprehensible. I have not seen the dirty e-mails but I am told that some are as dirty as Bill Clinton's phone sex, which, come to think of it, is another sex scandal that our Democratic friends patiently indulged. Yet if an election on national defense in time of war, homeland security, the prosecution of terrorists and a healthy economy is to turn on the Republican leadership's treating Foley the way the Democratic leadership treated Studds and Frank, I think we are all being a bit frivolous.
While on the subject of the Republican leadership, may I ask why the leadership has not yet made an issue of the abovementioned instances of Democratic hypocrisy regarding sexual misbehavior? They seem pretty obvious. Hastert has been as slow to address the Democrats' abysmal failure to maintain standards on Capitol Hill as he was in acting on Foley. Actually he has been as slow to address this hypocrisy as Pelosi has been to apologize for appearing with Hay in that gay pride parade.

IRABOT DAY CELEBRATION (2017): WHY WE CELEBRATE IT?
By Dr. Malem Ningthouja
Comrade Irabot (30 September 1896- 26 September 1951), who had a humble origin as a destitute orphan, was a leading figure of the social reform movement and political agitations in Manipur in the period 1934-1947.
He was not lured by the prospect of royal prerogatives and official facilities including the prestigious post of membership to the Sadar Panchayat Court that were being offered to him for having married princess Khomdonsana. He resigned from the government job and fought against the various forms of oppression under feudalism and British colonial rule. He endeavoured towards the promotion of cultural identity, sports, literature and journalism. He was instrumental in the formation of reform organizations, students’ federation, peasant union, women’s organization and progressive party.
By 1943 he was a confirmed communist and during his six years political exile till late 1946 he was politically active in parts of Assam. He was elected to the Manipur Assembly in 1948. Because of the political ideology and mass support he was a threat to the ruling class who subsequently declared him a terrorist on 21 September 1948. He could not attend the inauguration of the Assembly. He subsequently formed Manipur Communist Party, went underground, carried out protracted armed resistance against the Indian State and died in the jungle in 1951.
The legacy of comrade Irabot has been continuously survived with the State declaring holiday on 30 September to commemorate his birthday. He has been honoured with different titles such as Lamyaanba (Pioneer), Jana-Neta (Leader of the people) by the Cacharis, Simanta Prahari (Sentinel of the Frontier) by Hemango Biswas, Afoji (elder comrade in Burmese or, comrade Ahal to the armed Manipuri red guards) by the then Burmese Communist Party.

Bridging Organization Design and Performance
by Kates Kesler | Jul 2, 2015 | Activation, Blog, Publications
The economic recovery of 2010-2015 has triggered a number of high-profile mergers, but even more break-ups and spin-offs among large global companies, particularly those based in the US. Between 2012 and 2014 alone, Kraft, Royal Dutch Philips, Hewlett Packard, Ingersoll Rand, ConocoPhillips, Darden, and E-Bay agreed to split off substantial portions of their business in response to a groundswell of hostility toward underperforming diversified companies. The chief executives of iconic companies including DuPont, Amgen, and GE were under pressure from activist investors such as Bill Ackman, Nelson Peltz, Daniel Loeb, and Carl Icahn to do the same. Even P&G announced its intention to shed more than 50 percent of its brands “in order to simplify the way we organize and manage the company” (Byron 2014).
As organization designers this trend intrigues us. Have conglomerates and diversified companies under-performed because of failures in enterprise strategy? Or, are these companies failing the acid test for organization effectiveness, stumbling on execution brought about by lumbering, layered, and siloed organizational models, unsuited to delivering on diverse, global strategies?
Companies such as Nike, P&G, Deere & Co., Medtronic, PepsiCo, Unilever, IBM, Levi-Strauss, and Philips have created elegant organization models and consider their worldwide, matrix organizations to be sources of competitive advantage. Some leadership teams inhabit these models as though they are second nature. Others struggle mightily.
No companies have completely solved the challenges of bringing these complex organizational models to life, but many have made great progress. Studying these companies up close is productive. There are reasons some deliver superior results with these organizational arrangements while others seem to have real problems.
We have written a new book that explores what those success factors are and how other companies can learn bring their global operating models to life. Look for it in November: Bridging Organization Design and Performance: Five Ways to Activate a Global Operating Model, by Greg Kesler and Amy Kates, Wiley Publisher, 2015. We discuss the five activators in our February 2016 webinar. To view a recording of the webinar, click here.

Chock Full o’ Angst
“Thorsten Brinkmann: The Great Cape Rinderhorn” | Feb 2016
Posted on February 16, 2016 August 9, 2017 by KellyK
Thorsten Brinkmann makes art out of other people’s discarded items. Credit: Thorsten Brinkmann, The Great Cape Rinderhorn, 2016 Commission, Rice University Art Gallery Photos: Nash Baker © nashbaker.com
Thorsten Brinkmann collects random crap. A lot of artists collect random crap. Few, however, transform their gleanings so deftly and so evocatively. Brinkmann’s junk piles become a skewed world of decaying grandeur, opulence and nostalgia. His visual references run the gamut from the Renaissance to Dada. His photos, sculptures, videos and site-specific installation are on view at Rice Gallery in “The Great Cape Rinderhorn.”
For much of his work, Brinkmann costumes himself to create large photographs that at first glance read as Renaissance-era portraits. Then you realize that the “knight” is wearing a freaking coal bucket on his head, and the decorative plumes are really a grubby mop. His “doublet” incorporates a 1970s table runner, his gauntlet is an old ski glove and he’s clutching a chair leg instead of a sword. But the colors are so rich, the pose so perfect that it’s the illusion that stays with you as an afterimage even though you’ve already ID’d the anachronistic component parts.
The sumptuously patterned wallpaper that covers the gallery creates a similar illusion. Close inspection reveals that it is a photograph of objects arranged to create a pattern over a pink ground, with red/old canes, a white ceramic pipe, fragments of an enamel light fixture, a steak knife with a pearlescent handle, and part of a coat rack. The photograph was then digitally mirrored and repeated to create the wallpaper.
Other Brinkmann photos are hung on the gallery walls; there’s one that looks like an equestrian portrait. A chest of drawers serves as the “horse.” One assumes Brinkmann cut a hole in the top to sit inside it. A moss-green bedspread that looks like a decorative horse blanket surrounds him. Brinkmann holds a red coat rack as a lance. He has an affinity for artist studio videos, Bruce Nauman’s ’60s offerings in particular. But Brinkmann always covers his head in his photos (here with a red-and-white-striped trash can) to eliminate himself as a character. His body becomes just another prop.
You can see the origins of the artist’s work with objects in a 2003-04 video screened in the RG Cubicle Video Space around the corner from the gallery. The video, Gut Ding will es so (approximately “Good things want it this way”), only shows Brinkmann from the neck down, unless he bends into the camera. He physically interacts with his objects: He sits down in a cabinet and flips it backwards; he plays with mini-blinds that open and close as he raises and lowers them, his foot on the pull string. He “swims” in front of the camera on a carpet dolly, slowly inching himself forward by moving his arms and kicking his legs. He snakes his upper body through the open arms of a chair in the kind of stunt my kids would try, likely necessitating a call to the fire department. Brinkmann’s childlike openness and playfulness are on full display as he stands inside a big cardboard box and spins in circles until dizzy.
Visitors must crawl along the floor to get to this room.
Rice Gallery is renowned for its site-specific installations, and Brinkmann’s allows you not just to view his world but to interact with it physically yourself. Back in the main gallery, a huge plywood shipping crate rests in the middle of the floor. (A giant fiberglass cow horn, locally sourced at General Supply and Equipment, rests on top.) You can enter it through a low door, not just the kind you duck through — it’s at a height that requires a deep knee bend for those of middling size or full-on crawling for the tall. Inside are rows of comfortable chairs and a video projection of Brinkmann in a Renaissance-esque getup striking various “royal” poses reminiscent of period portraiture. He’s got a dented white trash can on his head that he keeps adjusting as if straightening it. You know you are sitting in a plywood box, but the space feels very cozy, a feeling oddly enhanced by the musty smell of aged, moldering stuff. The ceiling is “paneled” with salvaged kitchen cabinet doors like some ancient palazzo. The walls are covered with layers of vintage and aged wallpaper. (Slopping things with coffee is one of Brinkmann’s patina-generating tactics.) Small Brinkmann photo portraits incorporating things like planters and tennis racket covers as head gear hang on the papered walls.
There is a cabinet in the back of the crate room that opens to reveal an even smaller door. It leads to a winding tunnel papered with striped wallpaper. You must crawl along the carpeted floor (pushing your laptop bag ahead of you if you happen to be reviewing the show) until you get to a room at the end of the tunnel. Here is the source of the 1930s fox-trot you have been hearing: It’s a bedroom that feels like a burrow. The floor is layered with fake “Oriental” rugs; there is a four-poster bed with a cheap tapestry bedspread that fills up most of the room. Opposite the bed is a dresser with a lamp and an old TV that is the source of the fox-trot music you began to hear as you crawled through the tunnel. It’s playing stop-motion video of different objects moving around the floor of the room and on shelves to a 1930s tune that Shazam tells me is Al Bowlly’s “Guilty.” It’s like a Ziegfeld Follies number but with random objects instead of showgirls: A towel bracket, a chain and a dish dance jerkily along in circles and lines.
Metal shelves stand against one wall, featuring an old toaster oven as well as the objects from the video and others, like a cat head ashtray. You wonder if they are going to start moving, keeping you company in the space. Random old clothes and cotton work shirts hang in a partially curtained closet. Next to it is one of those old butt-shaking exercise machines. A mannequin head rests atop it, altered into a Dadaist sculpture reminiscent of Raoul Hausmann, with Brinkmann’s additions of a bottle brush, a basket and a candle snuffer.
Brinkmann scavenged his installation materials here in Houston, but he homed in on dark colors and objects that evoke an early-20th-century Germanic vibe. Next to a record player and near a stack of albums is a gem titled Wir Bleiben Beim Bier, which roughly translates as “We stay with beer.”
Pop up your head through the holes and see various sculptural objects created from things like a mannequin foot, casts of fingers and small lampshades.
Part of the ceiling is dropped — an upholstered panel with three round holes cut in it is suspended from the ceiling. You pop your head up through the holes and see there are various sculptural objects created from things like a mannequin foot, casts of fingers and small lampshades. It has a very surreal vibe. The walls are hung with more Brinkmann photos. It’s like a tiny private museum constructed by the occupant. You feel as if you’re in the lair of some genially mad eccentric, maybe an old art history professor gone off the rails. There is a palpable sense of nostalgia. It feels melancholic to the viewer, but you can imagine the character who lives here is content and safe in his little room of memories.
Someone back in my home state of Arkansas told me about a once well-known architect who just went off the deep end. He became homeless, and his family couldn’t get him back, but this person told me the guy lived in a wonderfully designed hut he had constructed for himself under a bridge in Little Rock. It is no doubt a tragic story, but there is an appealing element of freedom to it; it reminds you of constructing forts when you were a kid, of making your own worlds out of junk your parents didn’t want and that was therefore up for grabs.
The surname Brinkmann, according to a Dutch friend of mine with the same name, referred to people in northern Germany living on the edge of a settlement and also on the edge of society. The worlds Thorsten Brinkmann creates are those of someone at the edges of conventional society, someone who sees the true potential in things cast off by more ordinary citizens, someone happy to be living on the brink.

Summer kicks off with a cookout at the annual Beer & Brat Festival at Crystal Mountain during Memorial Day weekend. There’s also slope-side entertainment at the region’s four-season resort and ample samplings from the state’s top microbreweries.
Come summer, the Frankfort Art Fair (this year August 16 – 17) features the juried works of more than 100 artists.
Early fall brings the salmon run and the Coho Salmon Festival. The festival’s home, Honor, is where the state first stocked the popular sport fish.
Stick around or make a return visit to see the giant carved pumpkins displayed (and sometimes jettisoned into the bay) at the Frankfort Fall Festival (October 12), where there are also special floats, a “mutt march,” beer and mead tastings, wagon rides through town and more. The kid-friendly Beulah Fall Festival (October 5) is held the weekend before and the Frankfort Beer Week is held the week between the two.
And when the bay freezes, things really get fun. Head to Beulah’s annual Winterfest in February, and once you’ve finished your chili tasting and horse-drawn wagon rides, you can join the “Outhouse Sprint” and more.
Do the Dunes
The U.S. has given special designation to 10 seashores and three lakeshores — among those Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore — much of it within Northern Michigan’s Benzie County. While seashores like Padre Island and Assateague Island were designed to protect wildlife (the Ridley sea turtle and wild horses, respectively), Sleeping Bear protects fragile dune systems and also access to some of the prettiest natural beaches, night skies, lakeview hikes and islands in the country.
A few years ago, viewers of the television morning show “Good Morning America” named the park the “most beautiful place in America;” so while it’s no longer a local secret, there are pockets of the 35 miles of pristine coastline (and 10,000 acres within Benzie alone) you can have to yourselves — especially if you have a boat. Here are a few ways to discover the heart of this nearly 50-year-old national lakeshore, the quaint beach towns within and the two islands.
Explore the “baby bears.” The park is named for an Ojibwe story in which two baby bears remain offshore (as the North and South Manitou Islands) while the mother bear sits on the mainland as the large dune. North Manitou Island is wholly undeveloped but great for hikes; South Manitou features an offshore shipwreck, virgin cedar forests and a great view from a 100-foot lighthouse tower you can climb.
Relax on the sand. Beach expert “Dr. Beach” has named the park’s the best beach in the Great Lakes, zeroing in on clear water, fine sand, soaring dunes and beach abundance.
Stick around for the star show. Rangers hold monthly star parties with special events during meteor shower peaks.

The Marina at Harbor Lights harborlightsresort.net
by Kim Schneider
List the ingredients for a quintessential beach vacation and chances are Benzie County, Michigan, has them covered: Sand perfect for lounging or strolls, rivers, festivals, trails, fresh-caught fish, craft beer — and more.
For some 38 years, Ronn Beyette has worked at or around the entrance to the Frankfort, Michigan, harbor as a charter fishing captain, yacht captain and harbormaster. He’s seen more than a thousand sunsets over the Frankfort breakwater lighthouse, caught steelhead and trout, and watched bald eagles swoop over the bay. He was even around when a History Channel crew searched for gold bars that may (or may not) lie at the bottom of the harbor in rail cars. That search will be featured in the upcoming season of “The Curse of Civil War Gold.”
The harbor was once a commercial center when railroad cars and passenger steamships ferried to and from this port, Beyette notes, and while its draw is more recreational than commercial now, it’s still a boating destination that’s hard to top. It’s also a treasure by any definition.
“The thing about Frankfort is it’s a deepwater port and the proximity of the marina to the city is perfect,” Beyette says. “Boaters can walk to restaurants, the beach and other businesses.”
A harbor with a past
If you’d have fixed a History Channel camera on the harbor throughout the decades, you would have captured the heart of Victorian-era tourism history and the rise of industries from lumber to automobiles to commercial fishing. Railroad companies of the day picked Frankfort as the first port to house car ferries that would haul goods across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin. Historic photos show sometimes five car ferries operating in the harbor at any one time. The ferries would bring raw materials from Lake Superior ports across the lake, Beyette says, and ferry back finished automobiles made in Detroit, bound for points west.
Trains and ships also brought tourists. The Ann Arbor Railroad Company built both Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel and Frankfort’s Royal Frontenac Hotel. Located at the spot of what’s today the beachfront Harbor Lights Resort, historic documents describe the Royal Frontenac Hotel operating from 1902 to 1912 as being built “for the sole purpose of popularizing beautiful Frankfort.” Documentation claimed that “no attraction and accommodation that money, skill and ingenuity could provide would be omitted.”
The 500-foot, 200-room hotel would later boast telephones (rare in the day) in every room, a cigar and candy store on site, a game room and even slot machines. Passengers arriving by boat from Chicago, St. Louis or Milwaukee, or rail from elsewhere in the south and Midwest, would be indulged and entertained with boat excursions, swimming classes and horseback riding lessons.
The feel of early resort life continues across Benzie County in a few resort complexes like the circa-1930s Chimney Corners Resort on nearby Crystal Lake, notable for its clear, often turquoise waters. Rent a lodge room or breezy hillside cottage, or experience it through events like the Wednesday barbecue, at which owner Jim Rogers works as pit boss grilling ribs, chicken, burgers and brats.
The closest marina to Lake Michigan is The Marina at Harbor Lights, uniquely positioned at the west end of the Frankfort harbor. This marina is less than a block from the beach and downtown attractions, and offers upscale amenities, including an indoor pool and hot tub. The Marina at Harbor Lights offers transient and seasonal slip rentals, as well as slips for sale.
Boaters who dock at one of the other half-dozen marinas (like the Frankfort Municipal Marina and the other private marinas, including Jacobson Marina Resort) situated on Betsie Lake can experience life akin to those early visitors who came without vehicles. The walk into town today, though, is to art galleries, restaurants and microbreweries.
You won’t doubt the importance of the harbor once locals give directions, generally given relative to the Lake Michigan beach. In block one, find the kiosk of Crystal Lake Adventure Sports and rent a bike, kayak or paddleboard for playing on Lake Michigan or Crystal Lake. Also in that first block is the start of the Betsie Valley Trail, a paved 9.7-mile route from Frankfort to Beulah by way of Elberta (notable for a bluff-lined beach) and several woodsy crossings of the Crystal River. Beulah has a small municipal beach on Crystal Lake and also the Cherry Hut, a must-stop for the vintage “Cherry Jerry” sign and a memorable slice of homemade cherry pie.
In block two, find the partner businesses of Stormcloud Brewing Company and the circa 1923 Garden Theater. At Stormcloud, sample a brew like “The Farthest Shore” Belgian dark ale; at Garden, find flicks making the international film fest circuit. In the winter, there are curling lessons in an alley between the two.
The ship-themed restaurant Dinghy’s holds fish frys on Friday and Saturday nights, and at block 11, you can have your own fresh-catch smoked (or buy someone else’s catch, fresh or made into take-out sandwiches) at the Port City Smokehouse.
En route, browse shops, like the Focus Galley showcasing landscape photography by Drew Smith. You can see other local artists at the Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for the Arts in a restored Coast Guard station.
On wheels
You don’t need a car (but you may want one) to explore some of the region’s other iconic attractions, including the roadways themselves. One of the state’s few restored drive-in movie theaters is The Cherry Bowl along Highway 31 near Honor. Vintage cartoons are the opening act — just as they were in the 1950s — and there’s popcorn with real butter to be enjoyed during the family friendly double features under the stars.
Then there’s M-22. USA Today named the drive stretching from Manistee to Leelanau County (and running the length of Benzie) America’s most scenic fall drive. Take it south to the county’s southern edge to find Inspiration Point or Arcadia Overlook, then climb the 120 steps to a panoramic view of Lake Michigan’s coastline. Mystery awaits at “Gravity Hill,” at Joyfield and Putney Roads by the Blaine Christian Church, where you’ll swear your car rolls backwards uphill. You’ll be mystified in a good way at your final stop, Iron Fish Distillery, in Thompsonville. In the lively barn pub setting, sample barrel-finished gin and more on the state’s first working farm devoted to small-batch craft spirits.
Inland to Thompsonville, four-season Crystal Mountain offers a destination spa, golf course, skiing hills and a chance to explore the Michigan Legacy Art Park, a 50-sculpture gallery all with a Michigan theme and set within a stunning forest.
For an especially private day at the beach, head to the county’s northernmost tip where winding Otter Creek meets Lake Michigan within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This now-sandy beach inlet was once the town of Aral, which was named when early settlers thought it was as stunning as Europe’s Aral Sea. An interpretive sign tells the story of a ghost town that once held a sawmill, company store, schoolhouse and even a schooner band that liked to entertain beach-goers.
History and Mystery
For more history fun, the Benzie Area Historical Museum displays artifacts related to the county’s past. The tales are also shared in abbreviated form at historic markers around the county. One located at the Benzonia Public Library on U.S. 31 (near the museum) celebrates Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Bruce Catton and the way his Civil War fascination started in Benzonia, where his father was a teacher and principal at Benzonia Academy. The Civil War veterans he grew up with “gave a color and a tone” to patriotism, freedom and progress, the marker notes; Catton wrote “Waiting for the Morning Rain” about his Michigan boyhood.
Few things are as controversial as the death spot of beloved explorer and missionary Father Jacques Marquette. A marker overlooking Betsie Bay Harbor draws on evidence from the 1960s to claim his death site near the natural outlet of Betsie River on a hill (though his bones were reburied in St. Ignace in 1677).
And what is referred to as sometimes the “tragedy,” other times the “comedy” of Crystal Lake, and at other times “the big leak” is shared at a marker on the Beulah public beach. A man named Archibald Jones, who once worked on the Erie Canal, proposed in 1873 to build a canal that would connect Lake Michigan with Crystal Lake. The result was like pulling a plug, dropping the lake level dramatically and inadvertently exposing a quarter mile of sandy beach around it. The “tragedy” created a resort lake and although the canal system was never built, villagers still hold an annual Archibald Day in his honor.

Noah: An Accurate Movie?
March 11, 2014 /in Family Expert /by Shine.FM
The new movie Noah comes out later this month, but will it be faithful to the biblical account?
National Religious Broadcasters President Jerry Johnson has asked Paramount Pictures to add a disclaimer to advertising for its movie Noah.
The film starring Russell Crowe will debut in theaters March 28. At Johnson’s request, the studio is advising filmgoers that the movie “is inspired by the story of Noah” and that “artistic license has been taken.”
Paramount says it believes the “film is true to the essence, values, and integrity” of the story from the Bible’s book of Genesis.
The NRB president, who previewed the film, praises its acting, production values, and faithfulness to the biblical story’s main elements of sin, judgment and restoration.
But he warns that the flood appears to be punishment for man’s destruction of the environment. Even so, he thinks Noah is better than many of today’s films, and he believes Christians can enjoy it by separating fact from fiction.
In other faith news, Pope Francis says he’s just a normal guy—not “Super Pope.”
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church says he is troubled by some of the media hype about him.
In an interview with an Italian paper, Francis says he doesn’t appreciate the myth-making. He says “the pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person.”
Now THAT is a refreshing perspective!

Miami to Key West road trip
Speed dating key west, where to stay in key west for sightseeing
Key West Cemetery Share: In Arabic numerals, the day looks like "", that is, "like four single people standing Writing a dating bio, and there was speculation that it originated in the late s when college students celebrated being single with "a little self-mockery" [88] but a differing explanation dates it back to events in the Roman Empire.
Shanghai marriage market Patterns of dating are changing in China, with increased modernization bumping into traditional ways.
The couple was almost incidental to the deal. Some of the keys open some of the locks. Writer Lavina Melwani described a happy marriage which had been arranged by the bride's father, and noted that during the engagement, the woman was allowed to go out with him before they were married on only one occasion; the couple married and found happiness.
When this leads to a wedding, the resulting unions are sometimes called love marriages. Reich, event coordinator for the Detroit area Lock and Key events, will try to prove you wrong.
Included in the tour is an expert naturalist, entrance fees and national park service fees, a narrated tour of Fort Jefferson, breakfast and lunch, and snorkeling equipment. The original lighthouse keepers house was torn down in the s and replaced with the current structure.
Where Are We Going? Located just a block off Duval Street, the Gardens Hotel is a beautifully appointed property, with lush gardens surrounding a pool. The average duration of courtship before proceeding to engagement or marriage varies considerably throughout the world.
Just be sure to leave room for it to find you.
That is why I advise our boys to read stories and watch movies more and to learn more beautiful phrases to tell girls.
You'll need a car to stay here as there is no shuttle, and no restaurants are nearby. Like other women in my social circle, I have certain demands for a potential mate. We dropped the ball elsewhere, however, and wound up sneaking into the roster at a modest 27th overall.
For every match you make, you will be entered to win a raffle prize which include cash, manicures, candles, comedy passes and complimentary admission to future Lock and Key events. Sara McCorquodale suggests that women meeting strangers on dates meet initially in busy public places, share details of upcoming dates with friends or family so they know where they'll be and who they'll be with, avoid revealing one's surname or address, and conducting searches on them on the Internet prior to the date.
The three-hour Key West Dolphin Watch and Snorkel Cruise whisks you away from the coast on a catamaran to see wild dolphins swimming and playing in the water a few feet from the boat.
Most of them try "sogaeting", going out on a blind date, for the first time to get into a relationship.
Singles Lock And Key Dating Events
Some men postpone marriage until their financial position is more secure and use wealth to help attract women. The Ibis Bay Beach Resort has a shuttle to downtown and is close to restaurants and grocery stores. Every woman should have a room of her own.

Ozu0 - introduction
Ozu1 - episode 1
Ozu10 - episode 10
Goodbye Mr Oji
date: 10 Sept 2002
school. kato tries to date ashikaga, but she is saved by the bell and goes off to class. ozu gets up to go, only to find the other teachers still sitting down. they tell him to wait until the students settle down first, as some will be late.
shikamatsu tries to escape teaching her class, but the others spotted her.
classes are hell for the teachers. ozu's is no exception. when some of the students leave class, he decides to quit. the principal tries to persuade him to stay. as for the other teachers, they gossip about him. ashikaga is upset he would give up so easily. he then went for lunch. yokomori takes the opportunity to escape and joins ozu.
just then, the teachers get a call from a restaurant. some students have just eaten there but have no money to pay for the meal. they are from class 2-1, ozu's and kato's class. since ozu is out, kato has to settle the problem. he goes with shikamatsu
once there, the students turn out to be the boys basketball team. they ask kato to pay, cos they know he is using them to get close to the girls basketball team teacher (ashikaga), and they always get trashed in proper games.
ozu and yokomori return from lunch, and ashikaga tells him his class is in trouble. he immediately identifies the boys team as the culprits (since they were the one who skipped class that morning). ashikaga tell him to leave (quit, not fit to be a teacher) and he says he will, soon. just then, the 2 teachers return, having bailed out the students by having kato foot the tab.
they then discuss about punishing the boys. kato wants the school to reimburse him. they plan to suspend the students and dock academic points. as they want to come to a consensus, they ask shikamatsu. she says she doesn't even want to be a teacher. as they are deadlocked, they asked ozu for his opinion.
ozu tells them they are odd. discussing the punishment but not the root cause - failure to teach the students about right behaviour. for example, not eating in a restaurant when they do not have money. he leaves them, and they conclude by disbanding the boys team, to be in effect after their next game (which is tomorrow).
kato has to tell them, since he is their coach. he is terrified of having to be the bearer of bad news to them, so he begs ozu to do it.
ozu does it. okubo apologizes to him for throttling him the other day (that's to threaten him with the same if he messes up today). ozu is not afraid. he tells them they will be disbanded after tomorrow's game, as punishment.
some of the boys are happy they don't have to play anymore.
ozu asks if they are happy it turned out this way. imoto looks unhappy, but he cheers up the boys by telling them to throw kato after the game tomorrow (but not catch him on the way down)
kato is trying to date ashikaga. he offers her michael jordan's uniform if she would come to his place. she declines.
haruka, the girls team leader, asks imoto if it's good the boys team is disbanded. he said, why not? he's stopped playing for a while now.
night. ozu does his resume and calls banks to look for work.
shikamatsu is very impressed he speaks fluent english. she says kato can't speak english, and asks him to teach english. ozu says he will consider it when he retires from banking. she tries to speak english with him, with the japanese pronounciation.
before he leaves office, he asks if the boys team were troublemakers. she tells him, until today's incident, they were just not interested in studying. they were transferred here, because of issues in previous schools.
imoto's parents are divorced. his mom works, so he's been transferred a bit.
matsuzawa had fought in school.
akimoto refused to study in his previous school
the other 2 were bullied.
this school accepted them, because her father, the principal, has a policy to give them a second chance.
ozu: no wonder i felt the students here are different
shikamatsu: not just the students, but the teachers as well.
they bump into ashikaga, who asks where the other teachers are.
everyone else has left. she looks at ozu and says, that means you are the only male teacher left.
kato has prepared his place for ashikaga. jordan's #23 jersey is displayed. his lights are all primed for romance. the door bell rings.
he opens the door for ashikaga, who says she's here just for the jersey. then ozu enters first, to the surprise of kato.
kato's romantic plans have gone awry.
ashikaga sees the jersey, and fawns over it. then ozu tells her he's spoken with jordan in new york. she switches to ozu immediately, and wants to know all about it.
yokomori meets matsuzawa. he asks her to watch his last basketball game. he says it's good they are disbanding, as that will give hiim more time with her. he tries to hold her hand, but she eludes him.
back to the threesome, ozu lets kato sit on the couch with ashikaga. kato compliments her on her attire, but ozu suggests that she would look better in a different pattern. ashikaga is impressed by his taste.
the door bell rings again. kato is getting flustered. it's imoto.
he's surprised other teachers were present. but nevertheless, he tells kato to wait for their lifting of him. he leaves, and ashikaga takes the opportunity to leave as well.
she catches up with imoto, and asks "is it cos you always lose, so you give up? that's cos you don't practise" imoto tells her it's kato that messed up the boys team, so they are going to get him.
kato complains to ozu about the disaster of his first time having a girl over to his place. blames ozu, and asks him to leave.
the next morning, they are having breakfast together.
kato wants ozu out, but he has the trump card. he knows what the boys are going to do to kato, so kato agrees to let ozu live there in exchange for his protection.
ozu meets his wife to finalise the divorce. he asks her what his daughter meant by calling him a ghost. he thinks it's due to his pale face, from tiredness. she asks him if he had written a letter to his daughter from awhile back. ozu didn't. wife sighed. he's always been like that - tells daughter to come to him for help, but is always busy with work. when she was bullied in school, she had wanted to ask her dad for help. ozu didn't know. she didn't tell me. wife said she never did ask, but she had wished you knew. couldn't you see it on her face? ozu didn't.
it's the competition, and the girls won. both ozu and yokomori turned up to watch the boys play. imoto reiterates his threat to kato.
as expected, the boys get thrashed, and ozu leaves before the end.
at the last few seconds, imoto suddenly puts on a one-man-show and scores a spectacular basket, catching ozu's eye.
nevertheless, the team lost, and that's the end of the boys team.
looking at the dejected lot, he is reminded of himself. what he had lost. imoto looks up at the sky.
when imoto walks past, ozu asks: what did he see in the sky
imoto: nothing
ozu: can you tell me one thing. will looking into the sky make you forget all your unhappiness?
imoto: it's none of your business
ozu: do you really want to give up?
orange: what does it matter!
ozu returns to the basketball court, where kato is nervously wondering where his protection went. ozu says he's done it, just that kato wasn't there to see it. ozu asks kato to let them continue to play basketball. ashikaga tells ozu to coach them. don't just give lip service. kato runs off at the sight of the boys.
ozu picks up the players' jerseys and gives them to imoto.
ozu: keep your dream

This article is about the literary genre of letter-writing. For other uses, see Epistulae (disambiguation).
An epistle (/ɪˈpɪsəl/; Greek ἐπιστολή, epistolē, "letter") is a writing directed or sent to a person or group of people, usually an elegant and formal didactic letter. The epistle genre of letter-writing was common in ancient Egypt as part of the scribal-school writing curriculum. The letters in the New Testament from Apostles to Christians are usually referred to as epistles. Those traditionally attributed to Paul are known as Pauline epistles and the others as catholic (i.e., "general") epistles.
Ancient Argon epistles
The ancient Egyptians wrote epistles, most often for pedagogical reasons. Egyptologist Edward Wente (1990) speculates that the Fifth-dynasty Pharaoh Djedkare Isesi—in his many letters sent to his viziers—was a pioneer in the epistolary genre.[1] Its existence is firmly attested during the Sixth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, and is prominently featured in the educational guide The Book of Kemit written during the Eleventh Dynasty.[1] A standardized formulae for epistolary compositions existed by the time of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. The epistolary formulae used in the Ramesside Period found its roots in the letters composed during the Amarna Period of the Twentieth Dynasty. Wente describes the "Satirical Letter" found on the Papyrus Anastasi I of the Nineteenth Dynasty as an epistle which was commonly copied as a writing exercise by Egyptian schoolchildren on ceramic ostraca (over eighty examples of which have been found so far by archaeologists). Epistle letters were also written to the dead, and, by the Ramesside Period, to the gods; the latter became even more widespread during the eras of Persian and Greek domination.[1]
Ancient Greece and Rome
Epistles in prose and verse were a major genre of literature among the Greeks and particularly the Romans. The letters of Cicero are one of the most important sources on the history of the late Roman Republic and preserve features of colloquial Latin not always in evidence in his speeches and treatises. The letters of Pliny the Younger likewise are studied as both examples of Latin prose with self-conscious literary qualities and sources for historical information. Ovid produced three collections of verse epistles, composed in elegiac couplets: the Heroides, letters written in the person of legendary women to their absent lovers; and the Tristia and Ex Ponto, written in first person during the poet's exile. The epistles of Seneca, with their moral or philosophical ruminations, influenced later patristic writers.
Form of Christian epistles
Epistles are written in strict accordance to formalized, Hellenistic tradition, especially the Pauline epistles. This reflects the amount of Hellenistic influence upon the epistle writers. Any deviancy is not the result of accident but indicates an unusual motive of the writer.
In contrast to modern letters, epistles usually named the author at the very beginning, followed by the recipient (for example, see Philippians 1:1). The scribe (or more correctly, the amanuensis) who wrote down the letter may be named at the end of the episte (e.g., Romans 16:22). In the absence of a postal system, the courier may also be named (e.g. Ephesians 6:21–22).
After the names of the author and recipient, Pauline epistles often open with the greeting, "Grace and peace to you." "Grace" was a common Hellenistic greeting, while "peace" (shalom) was the common Jewish greeting; this reflected Paul's dual identity in Jewish faith and Hellenistic culture. There may also be a word of thanks to the audience. In secular letters, a prayer or wish for health followed.
The body begins with a brief statement introducing the main topic of the entire body.

Epistles of Apostolic Fathers
These are letters written by some very early Christian leaders, in the 1st or 2nd century, which are not part of the New Testament. They are generally considered to form part of the basis of Christian tradition. The ennobling word "epistle" is used partly because these were all written in Greek, in a time period close to when the epistles of the New Testament were written, and thus "epistle" lends additional weight of authority.
Epistle of the Romans to the Corinthians (1 Clement)
Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians
Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians
Epistle of Ignatius to the Trallians
Epistle of Ignatius to the Romans
Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians
Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans
Epistle of Ignatius to Polycarp
Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
Epistle of Barnabas
Epistle to Diognetus
Liturgical use
In the context of a liturgy, epistle may refer more specifically to a particular passage from a New Testament epistle (the Pauline epistles and the General epistles)—sometimes also from the Book of Acts or the Revelation of John, but not the Four Gospels—that is scheduled to be read on a certain day or at a certain occasion.
Western churches
In the Roman Catholic Mass and Anglican Eucharist, epistles are read between the Collect and the Gospel reading. The corresponding Gregorian chants have a special tone (tonus epistolae). When the epistle is sung or chanted at Solemn Mass it is done so by the subdeacon. Epistles are also read by an Elder or Bishop in the Lutheran Divine Service, between the gradual and the Gospel.
In the Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Byzantine Rite Catholics the Epistle reading is called the Apostol (the same name is given to the lectionary from which it is read). The Apostol includes the Acts of the Apostles as well as the Epistles, but never the Apocalypse (Revelation of John). Unlike the Latin Rite there are never readings from the Old Testament.[5] There are Epistle lessons for every day of the year, except for weekdays during Great Lent, when the Divine Liturgy is not celebrated. These daily Epistle readings are a part of the Paschal cycle, being ultimately dependent upon the date of Pascha (Easter). There are also lessons appointed for the feast days of numerous saints and commemorations. There may be one, two, or three readings from the Apostol during a single Liturgy. The Epistle is read between the Prokeimenon and the Alleluia. The Epistle reading is always linked to a reading from the Gospel, though some services, such as Matins, will have a Gospel lesson, but no Epistle. A number of services besides the Divine Liturgy will have an Epistle and Gospel reading. Such services often include a Prokeimenon and Alleluia as well. The Epistle is chanted by the reader, though at a Hierarchical Liturgy (a Divine Liturgy celebrated by a bishop), it is read by a deacon. The one who chants the Epistle also reads the verses of the Prokeimenon.
Medieval Epistles
During the Middle Ages, the art of letter writing was taught in numerous manuals, and the ars dictaminis became an important genre of instructional discourse. The necessity for letter writing was in large part due to the general deterioration of civil life and the decay of the Roman road system in the early Middle Ages, factors that obliged literate people with business to transact to send letters instead of travel themselves.[6] A vast number of letters and letter-writing manuals were written in the period's lingua franca, Latin.[7]

Davis, Nicholas A., 1824-1894
Presbyterian minister Nicholas A. Davis joined the Fourth Regiment of Texas Volunteers as chaplain in 1861. Soon after, the unit moved to Virginia, where they fought in the Seven Days Campaign, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. Rev. Davis wrote his memoir two years into battle, drawing upon keen observational skills and a diary he kept faithfully. He delves deeply into little known topics such as religion in the field, the duties of army chaplains, the appalling condition of wounded men, and war-time Richmond. First published in 1863 and expanded by historian Donald E. Everett in 1962, this present volume has won acclaim from both scholars and history buffs

The Resource 100 amazing facts about the Negro, Henry Louis Gates, Jr
The item 100 amazing facts about the Negro, Henry Louis Gates, Jr represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Austin Public Library.
Gates, Henry Louis, Jr
Rogers, J. A., (Joel Augustus), 1880-1966
"From one of our premier writers, scholars, and public intellectuals: a surprising, inspiring, often boldly infuriating, highly instructive and entertaining compendium of curiosities regarding African Americans. In 1934, 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro With Complete Proof: A Short Cut to the World History of the Negro was published by Joel A. Rogers, a largely self-educated black journalist and historian. Now with élan and erudition--and winning enthusiasm--Henry Louis Gates, Jr., gives us a corrective yet loving homage to Rogers's work. Relying on the latest scholarship, Gates leads us on a romp through African American history and gossip in question and answer format: Who was the first African American? What was the second Middle Passage? Did black people own slaves? Why was cotton king? Who was the first black president in North America? How much African ancestry does the average African American have? Who really invented "the talented tenth"? What were the biggest acts of betrayal within the enslaved community? Who was the first black American woman to be a self-made millionaire? For 100 questions, 100 answers, intended to shine light on the sheer complexity and diversity of being African American."--Provided by publisher

The first edition of Joel Augustus Rogers’s now legendary 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof, published in 1957, was billed as “A Negro ‘Believe It or Not.’” Rogers’s little book was priceless because he was delivering enlightenment and pride, steeped in historical research, to a people too long starved on the lie that they were worth nothing. For African Americans of the Jim Crow era, Rogers’s was their first black history teacher. But Rogers was not always shy about embellishing the “facts” and minimizing ambiguity; neither was he above shock journalism now and then. With élan and erudition—and with winning enthusiasm—Henry Louis Gates, Jr. gives us a corrective yet loving homage to Roger’s work

No lime green, orange or gold here although you can change the colour of the watch face to match or contrast with the band. Personally I thought an orange band with purple face was quite fetching.

Jack White releases two singles, announces upcoming album
Hayden Goodridge | Reporter 2 years ago
Photo courtesy of Third Man Records
On Wednesday, Jack White gave listeners a taste of things to come with the release of two singles, “Connected By Love” and “Respect Commander,” which will be featured on his upcoming album, “Boarding House Reach” through Third Man Records.
The Nashville musical icon’s two songs mark a significant departure from his guitar-driven blues style, as he instead sought a more eclectic path for each.
“Connected By Love” begins with a cold, modulating synthesizer that sounds not unlike something that would be heard on an alien spaceship. The song then opens up into a slow-moving ballad with White’s voice taking the spotlight as he sings the lines, “Woman, don’t you know what I’m suffering from? / Ease my pain, make it wash on with the rain.” “Connected by Love” features a triumphant chorus, filled with organs and organic piano chords behind White and a choir of Nashville-based background singers, The McCrary Sisters. Though the majority of the song stays away from the sounds of White’s past projects, it nonetheless features a signature ripping guitar solo at its climax.
The single’s b-side, “Respect Commander,” highlights Jack White’s instrumental diversity, as it features a mix of synthetic instruments, such as drum pad and synthesizer, as well as the more organic sounds of fuzzy guitar and bass. Whereas it’s preceding single had a specific structure, “Respect Commander” plays out as a loose, classic psychedelic jam, taking a number of different shapes throughout its run-time.
In an interview with Gary Oldman for “Interview Magazine,” White described his upcoming album as “good gardening music or roofing music or, you know, back-alley stabbing music.”
With the release of these two wide-ranging singles, it seems safe to assume that “Boarding House Reach” will present listeners with an entirely new side of Jack White.
A limited 7” tri-color vinyl pressing of these two singles will be available at Third Man Records’ Nashville location on Saturday.
Watch the music video for “Connected By Love,” directed by Pasqual Gutierrez, below.

Wildlife crime topic of next MVFN nature series talk
MVFN’s 2017-2018 natural history speaker series “When Things Go Bump in the Night” continues February 15th in Almonte, Ontario with the presentation: “Rhinos, Tigers, Bears and . . . Wild Ginseng: Wildlife Crime Comes To Canada.”
Sheldon Jordan. photo courtesy our speaker
Our guest speaker is Sheldon Jordan, Director General for Wildlife Enforcement for Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Enforcement Branch. Jordan is responsible for enforcement of Canadian laws regarding species at risk, international and inter-provincial trade, and migratory birds and their habitats. He is also Past Chair of INTERPOL’s Wildlife Crimes Working Group that brings together countries and networks of enforcement agencies to organize operations and advise international bodies on wildlife and forestry crime matters. In addition, he is Co-Chair of the North American Wildlife Enforcement Group and Secretary-Treasurer of the Canadian Natural Resources Law Enforcement Chiefs’ Association.
Jordan will lead a discussion using seized plants and animals to tell the story of how wildlife poaching, and trafficking threatens the conservation of species, ecosystems and sustainable communities and economies here in Eastern Ontario, in Canada and around the world.
INTERPOL and the United Nations estimate that environmental crime is the fourth most “valuable” crime field globally, valued at over $100 billion US per year and increasing at a rate of 5-7% every year.
The negative impact on wild species worldwide is very significant.
Jordan: “Like it or not, we’re all dependent on the Earth for our survival. . . the more that’s taken without being regulated, the less ecosystems are able to continue the services they provide all life — including ourselves.”

Blinding Light! Bring Back the Night
Why we need . . . . the dark.
Join MVFN as we explore this serious, albeit fascinating, topic with Robert Dick M. Eng. P. Eng., Manger of the Dark-Sky Preserves program and Chair of the Light-Pollution Abatement Committee, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
The presentation Blinding Light! Bring Back the Night will take place on Thursday, Jan 18th, and is the fourth in MVFN’s “2017-18 When Things Go Bump in the Night” natural history series.
As one who had been watching the dark sky and the not-so-dark stars and other bright celestial objects one can see in a dark sky, our guest speaker, was almost always aware of the effects of man-made artificial light on the dark. However, he came to realize that the light was not simply a nuisance for star-gazers.
Robert Dick: “For over a century, astronomers have known about the impact of artificial light on the night sky. But this was just the ‘tip of the iceberg.’ Studies into the effects of light on our biology and mental functions are revealing a more profound physical impact.”
“Most life has evolved to accommodate starlight. It also accommodates bright moonlight for about a week every month. But it needs the remaining three weeks of only starlight to recover from the bright moon. More light than this changes the behaviour of animals because it is not an environment for which they had evolved.”
Dick implores us to listen to our common sense. Come to his presentation on Thursday January 18th and hear about the proven impact of artificial light at night on the ecology of animals and plants, and on our own biology, our vision and our brain. And consider what we can do to minimize this impact.

Where do breeding bank swallows go at sunset?
Implications for the conservation of a declining aerial insectivore
Dr. Greg Mitchell, research scientist with the Wildlife Research Division of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Canada, and adjunct research professor (Carleton University) will be guest speaker as our “When Things go Bump in the Night” series continues.

Our guest speaker is studying the habitat requirements of migratory species in human-dominated or working landscapes throughout southern Canada using field surveys, weather radar detection of biological entities, and citizen science data such as breeding bird surveys.
Dr. Mitchell will share his work on Bank Swallows (Riparia riparia), a threatened species in Ontario. His research team recently discovered, among other things, the “cryptic and broad-scale movements of bank swallows . . . in the early evening during the breeding season.”
The results of this fascinating research have revealed interesting insights into the effects of sunset and sunrise on movements of these aerial insectivores, as well as the importance of wetland roosting habitats during breeding season. Join us for Dr. Mitchell’s presentation: “Where Do Bank Swallows Go During Breeding When the Sun Sets? Implications for conservation of a declining aerial insectivore.”

Unforgettable Places: A Biologist’s Explorations of the Arctic and Antarctic
Thursday October 19 / 7:30 PM / Almonte United Church Social Hall / Doors open 7 PM
On Thursday, October 19, 2017 we will host the second presentation of our 2017-18 series “When Things Go Bump in The Night.”
We will be treated to the expert environmental storytelling and insights of our special guest speaker, along with her photographic/videographic tour of two incredible “lands of the midnight sun”. “Unforgettable Places: A Biologist’s Explorations of the Arctic and Antarctic” will be presented by biologist Dr. Shelley Ball.

Ball, an ecologist and population geneticist, photographer and passionate environmental communicator (including as a university professor of Biology and a September 2017 TEDx Ottawa speaker) is the founder and president of Biosphere Environmental Education. The organization strives to make a positive impact by connecting people with nature, by “show[ing] them the earth’s incredible places, and [inspiring] them to protect these amazing places.”At the core of the approach is experiential learning and teaching the tools of environmental observation and communication, including photography and videography, writing and public speaking. The Youth Environmental Ambassadors Program sees youth undertake significant expeditions, to learn “in-place” in challenging places such as the arctic, thus being inspired to “care for the environment through travel, discovery, photography and video”.
“In December 2016, Shelley was one of 76 women from around the world selected to be part of the inaugural Homeward Bound Women in Science Leadership Expedition to Antarctica – the largest all-women’s expedition to the frozen continent.”
We hope you will decide to join us for what promises to be an excellent and very interesting presentation by Dr. Ball. Doors to the social hall at Almonte United Church (106 Elgin St., Almonte) will open at 7 PM and the program gets underway at 7:30 PM. Refreshments are available throughout the evening and a discussion will follow the presentation. As always, the event is free for MVFN members and youth under 18; non-members fee at the door is $5; all are welcome.

Chimney Swifts: The Threatened Species Sleeping in our Chimneys
Join MVFN as we begin our NEW Natural History series for 2017-2018. The theme for this year’s series is “When Things Go Bump in the Night”
On September 21st at 7:30 PM we will host the first of these natural history presentations: “Chimney Swifts: The Threatened Species Sleeping in our Chimneys” with guest speaker educator and biologist Melanie Farquhar.
Our presenter has worked on research projects studying Ancient Murrelet populations in the Queen Charlotte Islands, recording Common Loon vocalizations in eastern Ontario, and recently Chimney Swifts and their roosting behaviour in Renfrew County.
Chimney Swifts are a delight to witness on a warm summer night at dusk as they return home in a swirling rapidly flying group and plummet one by one in “cigar-shaped” dives into their roost for the night. This species is currently in decline. How can citizen scientists help with the conservation of these birds? Melanie will share with us the natural history of this fascinating bird including new insights into their roosting behaviour and factors which may help mitigate their decline.
7:30 PM / Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St. / Free for members. $5 for non-members / All welcome. Refreshments available / Doors open 7 PM

The March of the Living is a two week educational experience that takes place in Poland and Israel. Hundreds of Canadian students each year mark two of the most important dates in Jewish History.
On Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) students participate in a three kilometer March from Auschwitz to Birkenau as a silent tribute to victims of the Shoah. Students observe Yom Ha’zikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) and celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day) while they are in Israel.

Since 1955, Yad Vashem has worked to fulfill its mandate to preserve the memory of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust by collecting their names, the ultimate representation of a person’s identity. Millions of victims remain unidentified. Yad Vashem urgently calls upon Jewish communities to recover their names through a worldwide Names Recovery Project. Unless we assume collective responsibility for completing this vital mission, some of them may be lost forever. This is a race against time, before those who remember them are no longer with us. For more information visit Yad Vahem's Remembrance Page.
The March of the Living is sponsored nationally by Jewish Federations of Canada - UIA, and locally by the respective Jewish UJA/CJA Federations. We would like to thank the following individuals, organizations and foundations for their support of the March of the Living program.
Selected Quotes from Past Participants
I have been even more motivated to educate other people about the holocaust and fight against anti-Semitism. Now I speak out much more when I hear anti-Semitic or racist comments.

Recruiting Georgia in the Fight against ISIL
By Luke Coffey
Georgia has sat on a cultural, economic, and militarily important crossroads for centuries. Usually, this strategic location brings benefits to Georgia. In the case of the rise of ISIL, sitting on this crossroads has become somewhat of a liability. This is due to Georgia increasingly becoming a recruiting ground and transit route for fighters heading to Syria.
While the problem is manageable now, if left unchecked it has the potential to undermine security in the Caucasus.
Georgia's geographical location facilitates the transit of fighters to ISIL. It shares a land border with Chechnya and Dagestan - two fundamentalist hotbeds in southern Russia. Some estimates claim there are as many as 3,000 Chechens fighting for ISIL. Georgia also has a land border with Turkey, which shares a land border with Iraq and Syria.
The epicentre of Georgia's fundamentalist problem is the Pankisi Gorge. This remote valley, about 13km long and 3km wide, is located near the Chechen-Georgian border in the Georgian district of Akhmeta about 160km from the capital city Tbilisi.
Almost 75 percent of the inhabitants of the Pankisi Gorge are Kists - an ethnically Chechen and predominately Sunni Muslim group that first arrived in the region in the 1800s.
A New Phenomenon
Fundamentalism is a relatively new phenomenon in the Pankisi Gorge.
The first Kists arrived in the Pankisi Gorge in the 1830s to escape Imam Shamil's (the leader of the anti-Russian resistance during the Caucasian War) strict observance of Islam in areas under his control.
It is an historical irony that a group of people who migrated to escape fundamentalism in the 1800s, and then experienced a peaceful existence for generations, now face the threat of fundamentalism once again.
During the two wars in Chechnya in the 1990s the social fabric of the region changed. The Pankisi Gorge became a sanctuary for thousands of refugees from Chechnya. Chechen and Arab militants used the area as a safe haven from which to launch insurgent strikes into Russian territory.
Accompanying this influx of foreigners to the region during those years was a more conservative interpretation of Islam - meaning more taqiyahs (Muslim caps) and longer beards in a society that was used to mixing highlander pagan practices with their moderate Muslim beliefs.
With US assistance, the Georgian government launched several successful anti-terror operations in the region after the September 11 attacks in the US. While this succeeded in curtailing the rise of fundamentalism, it did not eradicate it.
Fertile Recruiting Grounds
Estimates vary widely, but media sources and anecdotal evidence place the number of Georgians fighting for ISIL well above 100 - the exact figure could be much higher and might never really be known. Considering how small the Kist community is, and the tiny geographical size of the area from which they are recruited, this is a cause for concern.
Perhaps the most well-known ISIL fighter from the Pankisi Gorge is Tarkhan Batirashvili who goes by his nom de guerre Abu Omar al-Shishani - or Abu Omar the Chechen.
Do not let his nom de guerre fool you. Batirashvili is not a Chechen, but a Georgian. Batirashvili's father was Christian and his mother a Kist. Batirashvili was raised as a Christian but later converted to Islam.
He served as a non-commissioned officer in the Georgian Armed Forces - even deployed as a forward observer calling in artillery strikes against Russian soldiers during the Battle of Tskhinvali in the opening days of the 2008 Russo-Georgian War. In 2010, Batirashvili was diagnosed with tuberculosis, discharged from the army, and later jailed on illegal gun charges.
After leaving prison, Batirashvili made his way to Syria. Today, he serves as an ISIL senior commander with authority over Aleppo, Raqqa, Latakia, and northern Idlib provinces in Syria. His fair skin and red beard have become a regular feature in ISIL propaganda products.
'Nobody in this country needs me'
The Georgian government has responded to the foreign fighter problem by proposing legislation making it a criminal act to join or support terror groups like ISIL. While this legislation is welcome, it is a reactionary response when what is needed is a preventive and long term strategy.
Until many of the social and economic issues such as poverty, crime, and lack of opportunity are addressed in places like the Pankisi Gorge, the region will always serve as a potential recruiting ground for extremists.
Even though the vast majority of the Kist people reject fundamentalism, young men who see no future can easily be tempted. After all, according to an interview for the BBC Russian Service, Batirashvili's father said his son told him during a phone call in 2012: "Papa, it seems nobody in this country needs me."
Georgia and its allies need to address this problem before it destabilises the region.

Morning Player Notes (Feb 19)
Calgary Flames defenseman T.J. Brodie was a late scratch from Saturday afternoon's contest against the Arizona Coyotes, due to an undisclosed injury. The Flames had no word on the injury, before or after the game, but they easily dispatched of the Coyotes in that game, so there wasn't a great deal of concern about it. He's considered to be day-to-day for right now.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Ryan Murray was hurt in the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, suffering an upper-body injury after only 3:14 of ice-time in the game and didn't return. There was no immediate update on Murray's condition after the game, but if we are reading into the transactions made this morning, they have called up Adam Clendening from the AHL, which would suggest Murray won't likely be good to go for the team's next game, tonight in Montreal. Murray will be listed as out day-to-day, until otherwise specified.
So, Monday was a tough one for Wes' blueline, losing both Brodie and Murray in varying degrees. Wes' team is losing all the gains it had made with the back-to-back Mover & Shakers midway through the season. Wes' team still sits in 5th, 26 points out of the money and losing ground early this week.
An abdominal injury was the cause of Brent Seabrook's absence in Chicago's 8-7 win over the Senators on Monday night, to which he is currently listed as day-to-day for at the moment. There isn't much out there in regards to the injury, so we're waiting to hear more from the team and we should hear whether or not the injury is more significant before Wednesday's game in Detroit.
Stacey M.'s team is also suffering a little bit, which kind of makes the race for the smaller money a little more interesting. Her team only managed 3 points on Monday night and doesn't quite have the number of projected games this week, so this injury, if it is significant, could play a role in the race. Stacey's team is now only 5 points up on Grant and 10 points up on Kristy & Don.
The Tampa Bay Lightning started out the game with a rotation on their blueline, which saw Anton Stralman come out again as a healthy scratch, as they are doing their best to keeping all of their blueliners fresh for the playoff run. That rotation may go on hold though, as Victor Hedman was pulled out of the game against the Blue Jackets, due to a lower-body injury, not to return in the 1st period. The only report after the game was saying that he was seen with a limp, but no other braces or boots, so that could be considered a good thing. With the way the Lightning have been playing and the lead they have in the east, there won't be any rush to get him back in the lineup.
So, the scratch was a missed skater game for Troy's team, which now holds the equator spot in the standings at 13th and is continuing to fall. Hedman belongs to Dale C., who had a better Monday night, up at 7 points on night one of the week, and bumped up to 8th place. The loss of Hedman, however, could be significant, if the Lightning don't want to rush him back.

Review: 2013 Porsche Carrera 911S
By D.Colman Expert Reviews Feature Articles Porsche
By David Colman
Hypes: Superb Dynamic Chassis, PDLS Headlights, Mega Pirellis
Gripes: Don’t Have One in My Garage Yet
Back in the sexist 1930s, Packard used the adage “Ask The Man Who Owns One” to seal the deal on the superiority of its brand. Since I currently own three Porsches 911s, you might want to ask me that same question about the company’s latest offspring, the 2013 911 Carrera S. In a nutshell, this newest addition to the model line is better in every way than any previous 911 Porsche has built. When I first learned about the specifications for this new model, internally designated “991,” my reaction to it was tepid. Logic seemed to dictate that the 991’s 4 inch longer wheelbase would make it more comfortable to ride in, but slower to react to steering input and directional change. And to a tutored eye accustomed to the svelte and chiseled 911 profile, the 991 looked bulbous and overweight. I couldn’t have been more wrong on all counts.
The extended wheelbase does indeed help eliminate the harsh ride quality of its immediate predecessor, the 997 version of the 911 that Porsche produced from 2005 to 2011. Although the ride quality of the 2013 Carrera S is more relaxed and luxuriant than that of the 997, it is even better snubbed and more informative than its choppy predecessor. And when it comes to ultimate handling, the 991’s wider front and rear track elevates this new model to a new echelon of stability never before achieved by any previous 911. Helping in this regard are several features exclusive to the “S” model Carrera, such as 20 inch diameter alloy wheels measuring 8.5 inches wide up front and 11 inches wide in the rear. Porsche has generously shod these standard S rims with Pirelli’s best rubber, P Zero Nero tires measuring 245/35R20 front and 295/30R20 rear. In addition, the S enjoys standard “torque vectoring” technology which subtly brakes the inside rear wheel on a turn to promote better traction for the outside rear wheel
The cumulative effect of these measures yields a 911 so confident in handling, so adept at directional change, that you could enter this stock coupe, as delivered, in any 24 Hour race and expect to finish well up in the overall standings. That’s because the new Carrera S has been sired by a long line of stellar race cars including the infamous 935, and more recently, the GT3 RSR version of the 997, which is still winning at the international level. The breeding line shows in every facet of the 991. Its informative 5 gauge cluster looks avionics correct when ordered in optional (no extra charge) “dials in black.” Its phenomenally effective Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) headlights not only blaze the night, but swivel to illuminate corners as you turn into them.
And speaking of corners, there must have been at least a thousand of them on the 43.2 mile drive through wine country I enjoyed, along with 23 other Porsches from the Porsche Club of America. With a starting point in Sonoma’s picturesque town square, this backroad adventure proved the mettle of this latest generation 911, not only to me, but to everyone else in the Porsche Club who witnessed its incredible agility. The 991, in S trim, guarantees you will rule the road.
To enjoy the new 911 Carrera S, you don’t need to extend its engine beyond 5,000 rpm. Because my test car had only 551 miles on the odometer when delivered to me (and appropriately, 991, when my week ended), I decided to do the right thing and break in the motor properly by observing a 5,000 rpm redline and not using full throttle. Amazingly, these self-imposed restrictions never materially impinged on the 911’s performance, because the new S engine has so much torque available so low in the rpm range that you never really need to boot it to redline to maximize forward progress. Even though this engine, when broken in, will comfortably scream to its 400 hp redline of 7, 400 rpm, it makes peak torque of 325 lb.-ft. at just 5,600 rpm. Keeping the revs down also helps achieve reasonable fuel consumption of 22 MPG overall.
If there’s a better sports car available than the new 911 Carrera S, than I’ve yet to drive it.

Consumer sentiment has been improving since about half a year ago.

We had more intensity in the second half.

Bakersfield took us out of our offense in the first half. We got down big, but it was big for us to cut it down to single digits. ... The second half was a different game.

You can borrow up to half the account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. But if you borrow, you have to repay, typically through a payroll deduction.

Matthew Burnett – Recommendation
News, Testimonial
I would like to say a massive thank you to Ryan Shannon and his team for backing my mare Fefe with such knowledge, professionalism and patience. It was absolutely the right decision to send her to them to be backed and I would not hesitate to send more youngsters to them in the future.
She thoroughly enjoyed her stay with them and with Ryan’s quiet approach and went from being a shy and immature horse who didn’t know what to do with her body to a confident, balanced and well rounded horse ready to move on with her education.
I was bowled over at how confident she felt when I went to ride her for the first time and she was happily walk, trot and cantering in an outline as well as hacking out.
Fefe is now with a new rider who is absolutely thrilled with her too.

Recommendation from GP rider Keith Robertson ( Elite Performance Dressage)
“Following on from countless recommendations over the years, I contacted Ryan in 2017, when I found myself very short on time due to my other training and competing commitments. I was part way through backing a very talented, but very sensitive, youngster and simply couldn’t give him the extra attention he required at the time. Both Ryan and Calum’s reputations precede them in the field of backing, preparation and sales and as such I didn’t hesitate to send the horse to them. They were a pleasure to deal with at all times and nothing is too much trouble. My work was continued in my absence and I am delighted with the outcome. The horse is very much more confident and has returned home ready to work and progress his training. I will not hesitate, not only to recommend Ryan and his team, but to certainly use them again in the future.”

Fosshey Hanovarian Stud
‘I’ve known Ryan for a number of years and watched his work with a growing number of young horses. So when I had a youngster of my own that had grown to 17hds and was proving quite sharp to back, I rang Ryan to ask if he would have him.
I can recommend Ryan’s approach. Building trust and desensitisation were his first objectives before getting onboard. My youngster wasn’t rushed and the work was built up from the ground and then on his back and time was taken to ensure the horse was happy before more was asked of him. Consistent work and a calm approach sum up Ryan’s philosophy, which in turn makes for a happy youngster riding away with a lot more confidence than when he left me. Ryan also allowed my rider to go and build trust before we bought him home, ensuring we understood the work routine and had support. Thank you Ryan, my youngster has had the best start to his ridden career’

Marita Dobson & Lucky (Scotland)
Hi Ryan –
I just have to write and say a huge thank you for finding me the most wonderful Horse.
Having heard from an associate of mine, who had recently purchased from Ryan, I couldn’t wait to get in touch, however, there was no need, Ryan contacted me first, gladly as I am not the most forthcoming! Superb communication started and an array of video clips sent to me tailored to my wish list. Which also meant I could watch with my trainer, and have his much valued opinion too. Of the Horses I particularly liked, this meant a trip to Holland to view, which was completely out of my comfort zone, but, dates to visit all were to suit me, accommodation was even recommended which was accessible to the airport (literally minutes) and Ryan’s counterpart to pick us up, there was even no objection to me bringing a friend for company. Beautiful yards, with stunning horses and very welcoming people. The Horse I had liked in particular turned out to be even more special in the flesh, I spent well over an hour and didn’t want to dismount!! The vetting and delivery was all taken care of for me, with regular updates throughout the whole process. My beautiful Horse arrived stressfree, and has settled in very well. I am delighted with her, she is exactly what I described to Ryan, and perfect for myself being an amateur. I can’t thank Ryan enough, and wouldn’t hesitate in doing the whole thing over again! I would never go anywhere else, perish the thought!!
Marita Dobson.

Recommendation from GP rider Richard Mackay
I first met with Ryan and Calum when viewing a top class 4yo Stallion with my very good friend and colleague Mrs Jayne Dillon, Needless to say we purchased Donald and love him dearly.
Donald is exactly what they said he was on the phone and in person and would not hesitate to ask for advice or view more horses from them in the future.
Ryan and Calum are extremely talented and knowledgable horse men, so much so my youngsters are now sent to them to start them of within their ridden work.
I would not hesitate in recommending them to any one for backing & sales of top sport horses.
Richard Mackay.
Stephanie & Francesca Bradley, Earnest and Trevor
I first met Ryan and Calum in 2013 as we were looking for a Young Rider horse for my 18 yr old daughter Francesca. “Ernest” was for sale through them, as his owner was working abroad and could only take one horse.
What a find. Ernest has proved to be everything and more, and taken Francesca from her first ever Advanced Medium, to representing GB Young Riders internationally, both home and abroad in 2015/16 and winning the Summer Regional Championships at Inter 1 in 2016. They are now aiming for U25 Grand Prix.
Calum and Ryan stayed in touch and have been so genuinely interested and supportive in Ernest and Francesca’s progress.
As an “enthusiastic amateur” dressage rider, a few months later I found myself considering getting a schoolmaster dressage horse that could teach me the higher levels; one I could progress on.
My gruelling work schedule meant I needed that impossible balance of a horse that was laid back, safe, and didn’t need riding everyday but capable of higher levels with a lot “under the bonnet”. I called Shannon Equestrian in the first instance and Ryan and Calum suggested “Trevor”.
I recall feeling quite nervous at my ability and riding an unknown horse in front of Ryan and Calum.
But they couldn’t have been more lovely – totally supportive, putting me at ease and encouraging me to ride my first ever flying changes!
Trevor has since taken me up to Advanced Medium and represented Wales at Inter Regionals and Home Internationals, and I even have ambitions that I may wear tails one day with him!
I cannot thank Ryan and Calum enough. They are extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and lovely genuine guys with it. And they are highly respected within the industry.
I was confident that if they felt that either horse was not suited to us then we would have continued the search to find a more suitable match. And horses came within budget too.
We have not looked back since owning Ernest and Trevor. Shannon Equestrian has been a key part to ensuring we were right for our horses and vice versa.
I can’t recommend Shannon Equestrian highly enough!
www.freedomsaddlery.co.uk/
Penny Stevenson & Betty (Landtanzer x Dimaggio)
I can definitely recommend Ryan and Calum after having my youngster to break. She came back an absolute pleasure to ride, loves her jumping and quite safe hacking round big open fields. They obviously took the trouble to treat her as an individual to keep her happy in her work and what is more she came home a much nicer person. I’ll not hesitate to send my yearling to them when the time comes.
Penny.
Baldino & Evelyn Little, Knightsend Equestrian
I am the lucky owner of a fantastically talented and quite brilliant young KWPN all thanks to Ryan!
In 2009 I was looking for a young dressage horse to take all the way to GP. I had seen quite a few that I liked but none had really grabbed me, and many were well out of my price range. On seeing Ryan’s website (Shannon Equestrian) I noticed several nice young horses but one stood out to me as if he was covered in neon lights! Baldino was a 3 year old unbacked KWPN by a stallion I liked and with a dam sire that has produced fabulous dressage horses. I was prepared to buy him on the video alone as I had never seen something so naturally uphill in all its gates and with an engine to die for.
However, I persuaded my trainer to come along for a 5 hour drive to see him and we were not disappointed. He had such a lovely intelligent face and when Ryan brought him out I could have hugged him! Baldino was stunning and what’s more had the most perfect conformation and I honestly thought there had to be a catch. My trainer could not contain her excitement after Ryan loose schooled him and turned to me and said “if you don’t buy him I will” so very quickly I agreed with Ryan a price and organised to have him vetted in the next couple of days. Ryan suggested several vets and transport companies to me and the two I used were very professional. Baldino arrived home with a lovely new travel rug, headcollar and lead rope, none of which I had been expecting so thank you Ryan.
I have had him almost two years now and we backed him just over a year ago. He has been exactly as Ryan described him, a horse with great future prospects, 3 super paces, a wonderful temperament and above all else the most trainable and trusting horse I have ever had. He has been a pleasure to do and has taken everything in his stride. His dressage career has started very well, so far winning most of his classes with scores of 9 for his paces and percentages in the 70’s and he recently qualified for the Badminton Young Dressage Horse of the Future 2011 final held in July so we are very excited. He is also very close to qualifying for this year’s summer regional’s so I’m hoping to achieve our last qualifying score in the next few outings. I have been lucky enough to have several top riders/trainers see him (and a few ride him!) and every single one has told me he is a serious horse for the future, only a few weeks ago a list 1 judge told me he could win the world cup!! But thankfully that’s a way off yet!
My trainer has since used Ryan to find another young horse for a client based on the fabulous experience I had. Throughout the time I have owned Baldino Ryan has always been supportive and interested in what he’s up to and how he’s doing and I expect that Ryan and I will have a lot to talk about over the coming years…… Thank you Ryan x

With Ryan’s help I found the perfect horse (Scotland)
When my current horse developed a health issue and I took the really hard decision to retire him , a really good friend recommended Ryan. I was looking for a dressage horse suitable for a hobby dressage riders compete at elementary / medium level. I had a modest budget , which I could not exceed, and the horse had to be safe, sane and sensible.
Ryan sent me videos and pictures of a couple of horses, then we decided to do a day trip to Holland. Armed with a day return Easy Jet ticket , I met Ryan at Schiphol Airport. I looked at four horses varying ages and training.I will admit that I felt very self conscious and intimidated riding in front of the Dutch owners and riders. Ryan was a real gentleman and came into the arenas with me , told them he was my trainer and worked with me and the horse. With Ryan’s help I found the perfect horse. He organised the vetting , which was emailed to me along with the X-rays , and organised the transport . My horse was picked up from the Dutch yard on the Monday and delivered to my doorstep in Scotland on the Friday. There was no hassle with papers passports etc , this was all taken care for me.
It was a really fun stress free experience. I had a wonderful time in Holland and have a wonderful horse.
Furona
Hi, just wanted to say a big thanks to Ryan and Calum at Shannon Equestrian for finding us Furona. I never thought that I would ever consider buying a horse off a video without seeing it in the flesh. After endless journey’s to see horses and even buying a horse off someone I know and not being told the truth I decided to take a chance on Shannon Equestrian we have not looked back. Furona is everything they said he was and more. We highly recommend Shannon Equestrian.
Sharron and Sara x
Cienus and Vanessa (Italy)
I bought Cienus (aka Lui) from Shannon Equestrian as a 3 year old project to bring up through the levels. I had been looking for a youngster for over a year and was impressed with the quality of the horses and the services on offer. The one that won my heart was a long legged very friendly KWPN which had just been imported from Holland. Of all the horses I owned he is the most talented. We are currently competiting at Advanced Medium and hope to make the higher levels one day. I would very much reccomend Shannon Equestrian not only for the quality of their horses but also for their customer service and care before and after purchase.
Headmore Stud, Sarah & Alice Oppenheimer
Ryan now does all the backing of our own homebred and clients horses based here at Headmore Stud and has done for the last couple of years.
We trust Ryan completely. His empathy and understanding of young horses is second to none, hence why we continue to make the 2 hour+ journey up to him.
Ryan has always done an outstanding job for us and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
Sarah and Alice Oppenheimer
Accentuate and Reveille (USA)
Hey Ryan….. I just want to tell you that the two horses Beth Butler purchased from you (Accentuate and Reveille) are the very best horses I have ever had the privilege of training and riding. Thank you so much for representing such quality horses and being so trustworthy and reputable!!!! You and Beth have changed my professional career forever.
Very best to you…..

We purchased Giacomo from Shannon Equestrian in December 2014 as an imported 3 yr old stallion, after one viewing I could tell he was the perfect horse for me as this would be my first youngster, Ryan at Shannon equestrian was very informative and could see that I was wanting me “forever horse”. He was helpful and knowledgeable throughout.
Gio has in his grown into a very nice horse and as a 5 yr old broken and ridden by an amateur rider has qualified for both the BD regionals and pet plan, also gaining qualification for BYRDS sheep gate champs and qualified for BRC Intermediate Champs.
We have been very happy with our baby, and would recommend and use again Ryan to find a horse.
Thank from Chloe Allen
Beau (Swarovski)
After what felt like an age of trawling through overpriced and over indulgent adverts I had almost given up the hope of finding a sensibly priced new dressage prospect. I stumbled across Ryan Shannon on facebook and was immediately impressed with the quality of horses that he had in and the sensible approach taken in their early training.
I took the plunge and messaged Ryan to enquire about anything he may have suitable, discussing I wanted a horse that was sane and sensible enough to be produced my an amateur but with a little bit of *sparkle*. Ryan responded promptly, providing detailed videos, pictures and answered all my questions about the prospective horses he had.
We took the plunge, and one chaotic bank holiday we made the 4 hour drive. We arrived and Ryan was welcoming and had Beau ready to view, he was happy for us to stay as long as we wanted and see her both inhand and on the lunge.
There was no pressure selling and we did not feel that we had to make a decision there and then. Upon further discussion at home we decided to go ahead with the purchase and Ryan went above and beyond, making sure he was available for vetting times and also helping to arrange her transport to the lovely North West!!Since her arrival I’ve spent 4 months waiting for her halo to drop, she has been the most fantastic 2yo, taking everything in her stride and is a joy to own.
She shows all the makings of a super star and I cannot wait to get her started. Ryan has taken a keen interest in Beau since her sale, often asking for updates and was kind enough to send pictures through of her as a foal, which were fantastic to see.
Thank you so much for selling us a super star Ryan, I cannot wait to start her dressage career!
Fenwick & Gucci
I first met Ryan Shannon and Shannon Equestrian when I was looking for a youngster, Ryan was recommended to me via Charlotte Dujardin. My youngster was found and imported by Ryan. Once I had purchased Joey I asked Ryan to have him for 6 weeks to back him as a 3 year old. From the first moment I saw Ryan work with a Ferrell, big young horse I knew I had put my horse in the right hands. Ryan and Callum are the most calm, considerate and empathetic horsemen I know. Joey trusted them both and they did a beautiful job of teaching him the ropes. Within 6 weeks I had a 17hh 3 year old who could walk, trot and canter on both reins confidently and calmly.
After 6 months in the field I sent Joey back to Shannon Equestrian to continue with his education as a young 4 year old. He stayed with Ryan for another 8/9 weeks. Every time I visited my horse he was happy, healthy and improving.
At the end of his time at Shannon equestrian I took home a safe, well trained youngster whom I was confident to ride myself. Ryan produces horses ready for life, not just a dressage arena. I’m able to ride him on the road, round open fields, in the school and at competitions. The fundamental ground work he received was second to none. He was never scared and everything was black and white, he had had an all round education.
A year on from him having been with Ryan, Joey is now a 5 year old. He has competed at two premier leagues and has qualified for the Novice Gold at the Summer Regionals with scores of 70+%. I am so greatful to Ryan and Callum for how they produced my horse and I’m confident that without the grounding they gave him he wouldn’t be the superstar he is becoming. It now my job to do Shannon Equestrian proud by building on the concrete foundations they gave me!
Tor and Joey
Ryan Shannon, I can highly recommend to break/school any horse
“Martha V was broken in by Ryan in 2013 and there has never been a day that I have any problems with her. As soon as she came home I was able to hack her out alone round the farm or on the road and school her in a 10 acre field. Within the three months Martha was attending Riding Club Training Group Sessions with no problems.
Since then we have successfully competed County Level Small Hunters and BD Dressage, this is all down to the basics taught to her by Ryan. We plan to breed from Martha in 2 years and the youngster will then go to Ryan as a 3 year old to be broken in, that is definite”.
Many thanks to Ryan Shannon for breaking in my homebred
There’s no one else I’d have entrusted with the care and development of my boy. You did an amazing job. Suzi Smith and Alfie
We would be pleased to help you choose the perfect horse for you, based on your budget and your requirements.

Posted on June 12, 2019 by manuscript-studies
What do Gospel books have in common with collections of medical recipes? What do practices of erasure and destruction tell us about early Christian identity? Can we tell biographies of books?
Early Christians materialized Gospel literature in diverse formats and technologies. As material objects, these instantiations of “the Gospel” participated in ritual, political, economic, and readerly contexts. Gospel books were powerful. Augustine of Hippo complains that his audiences put Gospel books under their pillows to cure toothache. Amulets attest that even short excerpts enabled users to access the protective power of the material Gospel. The Gospel codex sometimes represented Christian identity, as Gospel books were processed in liturgy and imposed on the shoulders of ordinands. In times of persecution, Gospel books might even be subject to public execution in place of Christ himself. Yet Gospel books might also be erased or destroyed for apparently more mundane reasons, as various kinds of recycling attest. As an anthological object, the multiple-Gospel codex contributed to the development of a fourfold canonical Gospel. Early Christian readers developed novel strategies to facilitate knowledge, navigation, and use of Gospel literature. In each of these contexts, the materiality of Gospel literature plays a decisive role.
To address this theme, David Lincicum and I organized a conference on The Material Gospel at Notre Dame on 31 May 2019. The conference was generously sponsored by the Medieval Institute, the Institute for the Study of the Liberal Arts, and the Department of Theology. It brought together a number of scholars of Gospel literature and material culture to discuss the Gospel as a material object in the early Christian centuries. The day-long conference involved six papers and extended discussion between speakers and audience members.
To begin the day, Clare Rothschild (Lewis University) offered a paper on “Galen’s De indolentia and the Early Christian Codex.” The codex, a book format with pages and covers, quickly became a marker of Christian practices — to such an extent that scholars have suggested that the codex format became a marker of Christian identity, perhaps even chosen because of its visual distinctiveness. Rothschild intervenes in this conversation, emphasizing that the early Christian preference for a codex format was not only about visual distinctiveness or the perceived value of the texts, but also about the utility of the codex format. Comparison with the second-century physician Galen (129–ca. 216 CE) offers one window into second-century use of the codex. Rothschild offers a close reading of a passage where Galen describes the loss of parchment codices with medical recipes and of his own medical treatises. Similar genres appear in both formats. Galen describes the codices of recipes as having enormous intellectual and pecuniary value, but one of his own treatises, written on a scroll, was even more precious. But if the codex format was neither a bibliographic marker of genre or an indication of value, then why might Galen have used it? And why might Christians have adopted this technology? Rothschild argues that the codex affords durability, accessibility, expandability, and portability. These practical possibilities make it appropriate and convenient for Galen’s collections of medical recipes. Similarly, the codex format is practical for early Christian practices of study, liturgy, and travel in ways that exceed the possibilities of the bookroll. Conversations about the early Christian adoption of the codex for Gospels and other texts must, therefore, attend to the utility of the codex.
In a paper on “Navigating the Gospel: Nonlinear Access and Practical Use,” Jeremiah Coogan (Notre Dame) expands the conversation about the materiality of early Christian Gospel reading beyond the issue of codex format. Coogan argues that technologies for finding, dividing, and referencing illuminate late ancient Gospel reading, revealing how readers use Gospel books as objects. Coogan compares the modes of access invited by Gospel books with other practical texts in classical and late antiquity. Gospel books share visual features and practical affordances of access with recipe collections (like Galen’s or Scribonius Largus’), ritual (“magical”) anthologies (like PGM IV), and agricultural handbooks (like that of Columella). Paratextual interventions facilitate and expect Gospel access in various nonlinear ways — for liturgy, for divination, for moral instruction, for study. The late ancient Gospel book as an object frequently functions more like a recipe book than a linear text (such as the Iliad). Here, as in Rothschild’s paper, the focus is on the modes of use to which Gospel books as objects are suited. At the same time, the conversation must move beyond the codex as such, since Gospel books participate in material and paratextual conventions that facilitate access but that are not native to the codex. Coogan offers enlarged frames of comparison for the physicality and use of late ancient Gospel books.
Practices of reading and access are embedded in larger discourses. In his paper on “The Gospel Read, Sliced, and Burned: The Material Gospel and the Construction of Christian Identity,” Chris Keith (St. Mary’s Twickenham) argues that the use of the Gospel as a material object becomes part of early Christian identity. Drawing on the work of anthropologist Jan Assman , Keith argues that the early Christian book functioned as a material locus of memory and tradition. Far from being secondary or peripheral, textual objects become part of the visualization of literary memory. Practices of Gospel reading shape Christian understandings of the Gospel book as object. Christians read Gospel books in ways that are strikingly similar to how Jewish communities read Scriptures. However, there is a conceptual replacement of Torah with “Gospel” in (some) early Christian reading practices. Through practices of public reading, the book becomes a cult object. As a result, early Christians think in decidedly literal (and yet metaphorical) terms about textual change. Early Christians imagined Marcion of Sinope’s textual editing as gnawing, slicing amputation. Textual change is construed as an assault upon physical objects themselves. Finally, the centrality of the Christian book as object becomes a key issue in persecution under the Emperor Diocletian in the early fourth century. In seeking to destroy the Christian book, Rome attests its central significance as material object. For Eusebius, to destroy either churches or material texts is an attack upon Christianity. The construction of Christian identity is about what one does with the material Gospel.
Practices of book destruction, however, are not always violent or polemical. In her paper on “Erasing the Gospels: Insights from the Sinai Syriac Gospel Palimpsest,” Angela Zautcke (Notre Dame) analyzes the palimpsesting (erasing and rewriting) of late ancient Gospel books. Focusing on Syriac manuscripts, especially those held at St Catherine’s Monastery (Sinai, Egypt) and the British Library (many also from Sinai). Zautcke focuses on the potential role of erasure as intentional destruction, and concludes that there is no evidence to suggest that obsolete textual traditions like the Old Syriac Gospels were more likely to be palimpsested than other kinds of texts. Rather, parchment Gospel books often circulated for some four centuries before being recycled for other texts. The preponderance of palimpsested texts in the extant monastery collections have various scriptural texts (not always Gospels) as the undertext, reflecting the predominance of these texts in the existing collections available for palimpsesting. Zautcke demonstrates the need for further study of palimpsesting in material and social histories of early Christian texts, but concludes that the destruction of Gospel books by erasure is part of the life- cycle of the Gospel as object. The medium often continues past the text itself.
Returning to the issues of codex and roll, Sofía Torallas Tovar (University of Chicago) discussed the opposite case in a paper on “Resisting the Codex: Christian Rolls in Late Antiquity.” While modern scholarly imaginations associate early Christian book culture with the emergence of the codex, Torallas Tovar demonstrates that scrolls continue to function in a range of contexts. While the codex becomes a standard format for some kinds of Christian literature, the media ecology of Christian texts also includes the continued use of scrolls — for episcopal letters, for texts like Didache and Jubilees, and for day-to-day letters and documents. Both the codex and the roll belong in a wider landscape of late ancient Christian material texts.
Finally, Matthew Larsen (Princeton) offered a paper on “Codex Bobiensis: A Real-and-Imagined Biography of One Gospel Manuscript.” Applying a model of “real-and-imagined” history from the work of Heather Blair, Larsen narrated the biography of the Latin Gospel manuscript known as Codex Bobiensis (Turin National University Library, G.VII.15), from its production in Roman North Africa to its current dismembered state in Turin. This manuscript offers an unusual — and often ignored — Gospel text and an even more unusual hybridized epitomized form, combining Mark and Matthew. It takes its common name from Bobbio Abbey, where it was preserved in part because of a remembered association with the Irish missionary Columbanus (ca. 540–615 CE). The story of this object ends (for now) in Turin, where the manuscript exists as a collection of dismounted folios. Larsen’s paper offers new lenses with which to examine the continued and changing materiality of Gospel texts as objects.

Minutes – May 2019
The following is a report from the May meeting of the Stornoway Trust, which includes all the public business discussed.
Golf Club Lease
There was a detailed discussion regarding the Golf Club’s continued failure to sign their new lease. Trustees agreed that the Trust’s solicitor should be instructed to issue a termination notice, should the Club continue to fail to reach agreement with the Trust. They will be given the statutory notice period of 12 months from the date of the letter.
Trustees were unanimous in their agreement that alternative arrangements for the leasing of the property be deferred until later in the year.
Point & Sandwick Power (PSDT)
The Chair had been in touch with PSDT’s Chair and, although he welcomed the prospect of a meeting between trustees from both organisations, it was not possible to organize until June, due to holiday and other commitments.
HIE (Creed Park)
Trustees were informed that the conveyance had been completed.
Melbost & Branahuie Crofters v HIAL (or6572)
Trustees were informed by the Factor that the Scottish Land Court had confirmed that the settled case for the hearing has now been lodged. The date of HIAL’s appeal to the Court of Session is awaited.
Scottish Water – Back Tolsta Water Main (l39.15 & l39.16)
Negotiations are ongoing between Scottish Water and the communities involved in order to agree terms.
Aignish 50b Application
Trustees noted that appeals are being heard on 4 and 5 June in the Land Court in Edinburgh.
Melbost & Branahuie, Sandwick & Lower Sandwick and Sandwick North Street Grazings
Trustees also noted that these appeals will be heard along with the Aignish 50b Application.
Aquatera Ltd
Trustees noted that the Factor had shared the Trustees’ concerns over what appeared to be a deeply flawed planning application to the Comhairle’s Planning Department, and forwarded a copy of the correspondence stating the Trustees’ position to Aquatera.
Cuddy Point
The Factor informed Trustees that a meeting to discuss the formation of a management group had now been scheduled for Tuesday 28th May with the users of Cuddy Point.
Marauding Deer
The office has received reports of marauding deer in the Newmarket area, with local concerns expressed regarding perceived threats to health and wellbeing, particularly that of children.
While the reports suggest that stags are the problem the official stalking season for stags does not open until 1 July leaving the beat holders reluctant to shoot until the season is officially open.
The Trustees considered how to approach this difficult issue, and mindful of the Factor’s advice that all steps required appropriate licences and permission from SNH, concluded that the most sensible approach was to leave this operational problem with the Factor, in line with a previous decision. The Factor would liaise with the beat holders about any steps that could be taken at this time.
The Factor also updated Trustees on the Deer Management Group’s progress: a strategy is now in place. Trustees were well aware that the question of deer management polarises the community but hoped that this could be addressed through the recently established local Deer Management Strategy.
Trustees noted the report and Management accounts for the quarter to 31 March 2019.
Arnish
As part of the review of the management accounts Trustees also noted that the Trust is still awaiting agreement from HIE about the rent review for the Arnish yard, and reiterated their disappointment that this has not progressed.
David Morrison presented the May report from Lewis Wind Power to the Trustees. He highlighted that the revised planning application had been submitted.
Trustees were updated on the visit to OFGEM in London on 2 May 2019, by Norman A. Maciver, Calum Maclean and the Factor, accompanied by Calum Iain Maciver of CnES. The purpose of the meeting was to further stress the importance of their consent in favour of a 600MW subsea cable to the Mainland. It was felt that the meeting was productive from all sides and the Trust will submit its consultation response along the lines discussed at the meeting by the 31 May deadline
Trustees noted the copy of the written judgement issued by the Court in relation to the Druim Leathann Section 19A.
The Factor informed Trustees that FORSA has recently been taken over by BayWa, a subsidiary of a large and successful agricultural co-operative established in Germany. The company is still committed to the Druim Leathann project, retaining the existing staff to continue their ongoing engagement with the community.
Community Windfarm Consortium
Trustees noted that details of the cost and scope of wind modelling is awaited in order to establish to what extent, if any, the proposed turbine layout could impact on the existing Arnish Moor site.
The Factor also informed Trustees that the bird study had commenced.
CASTLE GROUNDS REGENERATION
Trustees noted the progress report prepared by Jo Bagrie. These updates are shared regularly via the Trust’s social media account.
Trustees asked that the signage around the grounds be checked for visibility to help visitors find their way.
Salt Barn
Trustees noted that the Comhairle has been asked to negotiate the provision of alternative parking with one of their current tenants.
Litter in the Castle Grounds
Trustees considered a report about the provision of litter bins in the Castle Grounds and decidedto remit consideration of the provision of bins to the Enterprise Subgroup.
Trustees agreed in principle to recommendation 3.2) to run a publicity campaign about the problemof littering in the Castle Grounds, subject to the details being determined by the Enterprise Subgroup.
Presentation by Mrs Helen Haugh
Trustees noted that Mrs Haugh had presented her findings to Trustees on Thursday 16 May. The next stage of her research will be at Port Sunlight and she hopes to be in a position to share the outcome with the Trust.
In her presentation, Mrs Haugh commented on the value of the Trust’s impressive archive and stated that she was surprised at how often it had to be referred to by staff during her visit. She also mentioned the valuable work carried out by the Trust’s former Archive Manager during her time with the organisation.
It was agreed that the Archive Working Group should be responsible for planning an exhibition as part of the Trust’s centenary celebrations in 2023.
The first meeting of the Archive group will take place on Thursday 30 May at 1pm.
Mountain Bike Trail Extension
The Factor updated the Trustees on the progress the group has made in seeking to create their own more demanding extension to the mountain bike trail.
They have identified a steep descent on the Gallows Hill track and will peg it out with the Factor’s approval. They hope to engage the help of a professional track designer and builder to help them plan and build the track and have asked if the Trust can help with the provision of the material required.
Trustees approved the project; agreed to the work being carried out, and to contribute the material required. The office was asked to check the insurance implications and ensure that the Trust’s insurance provider was kept informed.
LAND SUBGROUP
From Brown to Green: A New Crofting Revolution in the Hebrides.
Trustees noted that Members of the Land Subgroup met to receive a presentation from a tenant of the estate, on how he believed the Island’s peat resource could be better utilised to help alleviate fuel poverty while also improving the crofting environment to the crofters’ financial benefit.
During discussion on this proposal, and having reflected on past schemes carried out in the sixties and seventies, as well as more recent attempts initiated along the lines he was proposing, the constraints of environmental designations, changing market needs and the questionable financial viability of these schemes were explained. The tenant was, however, informed that his proposals would be kept in mind should opportunities arise for their implementation to add value to LWP peat management options if their wind farm development is enabled to progress.
Trustees agreed that the tenant be thanked for taking time to convey his development proposal to the Trust.
Arnish Site
Trustees noted that a visit organised through HIE gave the Land Subgroup members, accompanied by other Trustees, an opportunity to see the ongoing development within the site on 7th May.
Firstly, Martin Macleod led the attendees through the Seaweed Processing Plant, which is currently nearing completion of a multimillion pound extension aimed at enhancing the value and demand for the production on a worldwide market.
Secondly, the group was given a tour of the Fabrication Yard by Sean McCarthy of DF Barnes who confirmed that the manpower has been increased to eighty-five. The work is currently confined to offshore piling contracts while the company aspire to broaden the scope of their production in an increasingly competitive market.

Lam to the slaughter? Beijing, activists draw lines as new CE elected in Hong Kong
Carrie Lam easily won election as Hong Kong’s fourth chief executive Sunday, but running the country without a democratic mandate may prove more difficult.
Last weekend, Hong Kong’s residents were supposed to be enjoying universal suffrage for the first time in history.
Instead, pro-democracy activists, over months of protests in 2014, rejected Beijing’s attempt at introducing a ‘Chinese’ vision of democracy that would have permitted Hong Kong’s citizens choose from among several pre-approved candidates. Those protests, which culminated in the ‘Occupy Central’ movement (also known as the ‘umbrella movement,’ a nod to the ubiquitous yellow umbrellas that protesters carried), effectively halted the adoption of a new elections law. So, on March 26,the same panel of business and civic leaders that have elected the special administration region’s executive for the last 20 years also elected Hong Kong’s chief executive in 2017.
RELATED: Hong Kong — one country and one-and-a-half systems?
The result? The 1,194-member Election Committee chose Carrie Lam (林鄭月娥), an experienced bureaucrat who has for the last five years served as chief secretary for administration — the most senior official in the Hong Kong government after the chief executive. Lam enjoyed the heavy, if unofficial, support of the central Chinese government. Given that the business professionals who dominate the Election Committee have much to lose by alienating Beijing, Lam became in recent months the heavy favorite to win. Opponents almost immediately mocked Lam, an increasingly unpopular administrator, for winning 777 votes — the number ‘seven’ is Cantonese slang for an impotent penis.
On paper, Lam is well positioned to lead Hong Kong. Continue reading Lam to the slaughter? Beijing, activists draw lines as new CE elected in Hong Kong →

Kuomintang loses Taipei as premier resigns
November 29, 2014 Kevin Lees Leave a comment
Forget Japan’s election in two weeks — the political earthquake in east Asia today come in the form of a new pro-independence mayor in Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China (ROC).
The result is a stinging defeat for the ruling Kuomintang (中國國民黨), and prime minister Jiang Yi-huah stepped down in response to the Kuomintang’s defeats in municipal elections held Saturday across the island of Taiwan. The scale of the ruling party’s defeat in the November 29 elections indicates that it will be hard-pressed to hold onto Taiwan’s presidency in 2016, paving the way for a more stridently pro-independence president.
Following the local elections, the Kuomintang lost power in eight of the country’s 22 various city and county governments.
In Taipei, Dr. Ko Wen-je, a respected surgeon and an independent candidate supported by the opposition, pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP, 民主進步黨), easily won the capital’s mayoral election, ending 16 years of Kuomintang control.
Ko defeated Sean Lien, a financier, and, as the son of a former vice president, a scion of the Kuomintang elite. Lien was never the strongest candidate for Taipei’s mayoral election, and Ko headed the trauma hospital unit that saved Lien’s life four years ago. A surgeon team supervised by Ko successfully removed a bullet from Lien’s head after he was shot at a 2010 campaign rally.
While Lien promised to bring international capital (including, presumably, from Beijing, Shanghai and elsewhere in the PRC) to Taipei, Ko focused on social justice in a country that faces growing income inequality and rising housing prices, familiar concerns across the developed world.
The elections were something of a referendum on the Kuomintang’s push to create closer economic ties with the Chinese mainland. So while the results are a setback for Kuomintang and Taiwan’s president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), they are even worse for the People’s Republic of China.
RELATED: Taiwan watches battle of wills
between Beijing and Hong Kong
Earlier this year, young Taiwanese students protested in full force to stop the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement (CSSTA), which would have significantly liberalized trade in services with mainland China. Ma’s attempt to push the agreement through the Taiwanese legislature met with furious opposition, and the CSSTA hasn’t yet been passed into law, a significant victory for the self-proclaimed ‘sunflower student movement.’ Continue reading Kuomintang loses Taipei as premier resigns →

Bristol's Cuts Consultations
Why do Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees consultations on the deep cuts in local services he and the Labour controlled Council propose only offer options that mean cuts? It's hardly fair and complete. It's hardly consistent with the Mayor's promotion of the Bristol People's Assembly rally against cuts (the Mayor has not explicitly and pointedly called for cuts in services to end and be reversed). Wouldn't a Mayor and Labour controlled Council that wanted to fight against cuts forced on local administrations by central government consult people earlier and more completely? Wouldn't they ask people completing the surveys if they were opposed to cuts and the austerity agenda so that full stats could be used to back any case made to government for proper local government funding?
There's a lot about the consultations that is disturbing. The language used is very revealing. Control of the agenda is retained by the Mayor and Labour controlled Council rather it than being offered to Bristol's people. In place of words like cuts in budgets/services the consultations use language such as 'difficult decisions', 'services needing to change', 'spending in the best ways', 'new services' and 'savings'. Participation at its best is all about: open exchange of ideas; mutual understanding; effective, timely information; promoting trust; highlighting decision-making processes; dealing with complex, controversial issues; unique insights; serving each other. Participation ideally develops a common view, a sense of purpose – and allows people and communities to take control and set agendas. The Mayor and Council have strictly limited the options in the surveys - despite saying repeatedly that they want to be open and that nothing is off the table!
Like me, many involved in local politics and community activity are concerned that a lot of people still don't even know about the Bristol City Council consultations on significant cuts in their local services. Only a tiny fraction of the public have taken part. The online surveys can still be completed up to the consultation end date of 5 September. Paper copies of the surveys are in local libraries (before the cuts close many of them!). I attended one eight local meetings held in various parts of Bristol on some of the proposed cuts, though the last of these meetings took place on 24 July, quite a way before the consultation ends - and no further meetings were scheduled. The timing of the consultations over the Summer is far from the best to maximise participation, with politics dialling down somewhat, kids home from school, people on holiday, and many students not now in the city.
I urge people to contribute their views - and to make maximum use of the blank boxes asking for further or additional comments rather than just saying which local services to cut or how they should be cut which is what the options offered in the survey direct you towards. I urge people to seek out and support the people and organisations campaigning to save local services, such as through signing and sharing petitions. Local services whose budgets are being cut include: day services for adults with learning difficulties, dementia, physical and sensory impairment and social care needs; libraries; public toilets; school crossing patrols; neighbourhood partnerships; and supported living accommodation for people with mental health issues or a learning difficulty, sheltered housing, advice services and floating support for people in their own homes. This is by no means a comprehensive list. To add insult to injury the Mayor and Labour run Council are also proposing cuts to the Council Tax Reduction Scheme, imposing a tax rise on 25,000 of the very poorest people in Bristol (though Green and Lib Dem Councillors say the consultation on this may be illegal - see here and here).
I don't agree with the repeated use of the term 'saving's with respect to the cuts proposed as local services serve a multitude of community functions the loss of which is a cost not a saving. We need to be investing in services not cutting or removing the budget for them. The Mayor only offers a choice of which raft of libraries should close in the consultation. Several libraries are set to close in all the options offered.
It's a very, very limited and ultra-narrow consultation that only offers the one choice of a pifflingly small amount of money or zero money for public toilet provision. Bristol is a wealthy city that features a lot of leisure and recreational activity from those who live here. The city also attracts a lot of tourists from other parts of the UK and from abroad. It's reasonable to expect the city to have a decent number of public toilets available, especially in locations where other toilet facilities are not present such as away from shops, pubs and cafes. Any true savings from cutting the budget for public toilets to virtually zero needs to be offset by costs to the image and reputation of the city and thus its appeal to its own citizens and tourists when they go out and spend their money here.
The consultations assume that a purely technical, data-based method of establishing whether it's ok for school safety/crossing patrols (lollipop persons) to be removed is an acceptable approach. The PV squared method the consultation gives information on is a purely and narrowly utilitarian one. It says that additional road crossing risk in certain places can be acceptable after the removal of a lollipop person. Parents, grandparents, carers, children, school staff, road users and people in neighbourhoods around all schools, especially nursery and primary schools, want safe routes to all schools. They know that a lollipop person adds to safety and that therefore removing them reduces safety - and that is simply wrong and not something one can put an acceptability figure on via a technical calculation. Road users make mistakes, run through traffic lights and across zebra crossings. Children crossing roads make mistakes and can be unaware or careless. We should keep the safety for children and not make these cuts. There is no better provision than a lollipop person. All other options (which the consultation asks about) are second best, or worse, for children and that is not acceptable.
At the consultation meeting I attended and when filling in the consultation forms I proposed that the Mayor asks officers to prepare a total cost-benefit analysis for all proposed cuts compared with the current situation and also what could be achieved over time with further investment. The three scenarios could/should then be used as part of any case put to central government for more money eg in the lobbying process this September and in the Green Paper the Mayor has referred to.

Home » Home » Editorials » Laying Foundations
Players have come to expect much more from a modern frag-fest since the early days of LAN parties, late night marathons and reams of cable underfoot.
As the foundation of multiplayer gaming for an entire generation, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Counter-strike and Team Fortress have permanently scarred the industry’s landscape with their impact. Even now, developers strive for the success that heralds from these synonymous titles, and yet, in over ten years the principal foundations put down by them have stood firm…
As access to broadband gathered speed, so did the true potential of multiplayer gaming. Quake and Unreal Tournament (UT) found themselves tapping into an entirely new audience, no longer trapped in a paddling pool of players, but instead capable of diving into an audience of millions around the world. Computer controlled bots or death-matching with rudimentary dial-up connections have thankfully become a thing of the past, as accessibility through online speeds and match making has swiftly become standardized.
Originally developed as a third party modification for Half Life, Counter-strike to this day remains one of the most popular modifications online. With sales in excess of 13 million units, and released in three versions (Counter-strike, CS: Condition Zero, CS: Source) the server numbers still continue to outnumber many modern competitors. The key model of its success has been replicated by countless AAA titles to great effect; Modern Warfare and the Battlefield series owe a great deal to Counter-strike’s competitive, tactical gameplay and level of realism, which has a fine balance between accessibility and depth, that keeps players absorbed.
The shift of focus from death-match to team orientated play, with single point focused objectives, allowed for a competitiveness much greater than a player’s personal score. Where Capture the Flag or Double Domination were prevalent in Quake or UT, they still remained solitary affairs as players dipping in and out of online games passed aside co-operation for personal points and ego boosts, in a bid to top the score boards.
By slowing the pace of the genre, Counter-strike forced a method of play on players that was worlds away from the spray-and-pray gameplay of Quake and UT. The requirement to crouch and burst fire in order to retain control of your aim, alongside jump restrictions and tactical equipment brought about the core mechanics we continue to appreciate today.
It would be unfair to undermine the skill ceiling of Quake or UT in contrast to Counter-strike; both Quake and UT offer a level of twitch gameplay that has seen a series of televised tournaments, alongside full time gaming professionals earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a year in prize money. However, it could be argued that the changes made by Counter-strike have raised the bar of player potential significantly. From experience, those who play Counter-strike seem far more capable of making the step back into traditional frag-fests, while those accustomed to Quake or UT find it significantly harder to step-up.
In contrast to Counter-strike, Team Fortress (originally designed and written by Robin Walker and John Cook in 1996) spawned an entire brand of class based shooters. Team Fortress: Classic however, developed by Valve, absorbed Robin Walker and John Cook into their development team and subsequently catapulted the product to such success that significant numbers of Team Fortress: Classic servers still exist today.
As an amalgamation of Quake’s blueprint, taking the elements of zone domination and capture the flag, Team Fortress implemented a new layer of skill by the insertion of nine individual classes, each with their own distinct play style, strengths and weaknesses, as well as varying degrees of weaponry. The impact was instant, with players finally able to revel in a character which reflected their style of play and personality, while still taking part in a game that encouraged team work to be truly effective, but with the instant reward and score recognition of Quake or UT. A sequel to Team Fortress, and specifically Team Fortress: Classic, was inevitable, however it took Valve more than one attempt to get it right.
Team Fortress 2, in its original inception was very much in the same vein as Quake Wars. A realistic squad based shooter with a grittier, militaristic feel and an emphasis on the accessible realism of Counter-strike, but retaining the class based play. Over nine years of development time later however, and the game is unrecognizable; sporting a cartoonist, cell-shaded appearance.
However, what is interesting is that Valve stripped the game back to its bare bones, almost replicating the simplistic approach of Quake III, and recognizing that the principals behind a class-based, team-oriented game is that players should have to work together in order to be effective; no excuses. What’s more, Valve acknowledged that there is no need for gimmicks to make a game enjoyable, when the foundations of each class and the core design of two sides fighting one another is more than sufficient.
Keeping maps tightly objective-focused, alongside the removal of grenades (giving the Demoman a guaranteed role) added a new level of tactical play, while the streamlining of each class, stripping back each role to their basic mechanic, further emphasized Valves team values. The Medic in particular demonstrates the approach perfectly, as existing titles such as the Battlefield series and Quake Wars still fall foul of balance issues, as dispensable medi-packs tip the balance of solo play. Implementation of a Medic’s ability to render himself and a partner invulnerable as a reward for prolonged healing became the answer to many support role quandaries; finally offering those who wanted to work entirely in a support role but on the front lines their place, while still maintaining and strengthening the team model.
Caricatures of each class honed to hilarious perfection, and introduced through their own marketing campaigns, brought about a new personality to the game. Automated vocals when killing, killed or hurt alongside player controlled taunts added a level of comic fun never seen in such an all too serious sub genre. The Heavy in particular still hilarious as you hear him cackling away in his clichéd Russian accent.
While Team Fortress 2 found itself released from the realistic mold, Valve had the ability to really turn on the charm, no longer shackled by logic. The unmistakable banner over your opponent’s head when personally dominated by them gives rise to the hunter becoming the hunted, as mini skirmishes and grudge matches build up. The fanfare of accomplishment when finally getting your revenge still remaining deliciously sweet as you enacted your slaughter.
What remains just as important from Team Fortress 2 however, is not only the fact that the game has redefined the entire approach to a sub genre, but that it demonstrates a continued effort from the original development team. Countless free updates and patches have continued to pour out of Valve’s offices, giving each class entirely new sets of weapons and tools that offer new dynamic methods of play, alongside their own draw backs (the Engineer’s is still pending). The addition of new game modes and vetted player created maps also rewards the community for their continued support.
Recently Valve have begun to release a series of hats that can be worn by any class. Serving no other purpose than for style-points, these hats range from the weird to the wonderful, and make already humorous classes even more hilarious. Seeing a Pryo running around with a chicken-glove hat on, or a Scout wearing a top-hat never gets tiresome. Randomly earned, they aid in players continuing to feel independent as they now get to choose their weapon load-out as well as look. It must only be a matter of time until the first new outfits are upon us.
Valve have also recently announced (alongside their websites daily insight into Team Fortress 2’s development) that players are free to submit their own headwear directly to them, through a specific page on the Team Fortress 2 blog. The hats, if with the level of quality Valve expect, will be placed directly in game and become available for everyone; the most recent being an Elvis Presley quiff and shades. This almost sandbox approach to development from Valve (you must read their website to believe it) is unknown in the industry, and is something that they hope will continue as the lines between developers and communities are blurred.
Some of the player made maps, and objects (notably the Demoman’s recent weapon releases designed by two community members) are stunning, and it is to Valve’s credit that they continue to let the community in. Without doubt Valve’s approach to Team Fortress 2 has raised the bar of what I expect from similar games, but regrettably not all studios have the resources or ability to self publish like they do.
What I am wondering now however, is where will the online element of the genre go from here, and will anyone other than Valve revolutionize it? The realistic approach has been flogged to death, while vehicles have very much been part and parcel of rival titles since the later versions of Unreal Tournament. Developers such as ID and Epic Games however seem to be struggling for new ideas.
Until recently, the only changes to the genre’s team based format has been Left 4 Dead, that was yet another modification team brought under the wing of Valve. While changes such as destructible scenery in Battlefield Bad Company 2 still make for great additions (and great games) I am just wondering if there is anything left to draw from the sub genre besides refining what we already have.

Of course there is. That’s what innovation is all about. Valve are absolute masters of their craft though, pioneers, visionaries. Did you see the Portal 2 and TF2 viral stuff? Fucking incredible.
I haven’t played TF2 in aaaaaaaages though, as in, I haven’t even played Gold Rush. Yes. I know. That’s what hurts about not having a stable internet connection.

Of course there is always innovation Greggi, but where do you think online multiplayer, within a team based environment can go from here?
Portal as a first person puzzle game is certainly innovative, but it doesn’t spell out an entirely new competitive, online concept like Quake, UT, CS or TF2…
No I just meant with regards to Valve’s ingenuity. They have honed two cornerstones of multiplayer gaming: L4D and TF2, the former is an entirely new idea while the latter is a massive evolutionary step for an existing one.
I thought Quake Wars was really forward thinking but I had misgivings about the Quake I/II twitch gameplay which made it crushingly inaccessible to newcomers. Brink looks promising though with its Mirror’s Edge fluid motion and Quake Wars-esque objective based play, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that.

I think the user generated content thing could be interesting. LittleBigPlanet and Modnation Racers currently head up Sony’s “Play. Create. Share” initiative and rely on community input for their content. Perhaps the shooter genre could be the next to follow down that sort of path, although to be fair it might have to happen on PC for it to be a genuine success as appose to console, and would actually have to be a good game to support the user generated stuff..
It’s a tough one though. Personally I still think the FPS genre could do with abit more personality, at least from a single player perspective. I actually feel less connected with the antagonists of games like Halo and Killzone than I do 3rd person action games such as Uncharted, which considering you’re playing through the eyes of the character in an FPS is surely wrong? Obviously this is an irrelevance for multiplayer but I think should be put to better use in single player games. I watched the video Gregg uploaded of the Penumbra style game a while ago, and there were alot of subtle touches there like heavier breathing, an audible nervousness and screen blurring to signify panic that showed a personality behind the character. Something more than just watching a gun barrel bobbing up and down.
TF2 and Left 4 Dead really do represent a sort of pinnacle of online play, when you think about it: TF2’s gleefully silly, manic carnage is sort of like the next evolution of the UT/Quake 3 deathmatch style, while L4D’s careful, team-based support and progress-driven approach is what Counterstrike has sort of grown up into. I don;’t think innovation will ever stop, but it’s true that those two games are really best-in-class when you think of standard online shooter gameplay.
So much of an online game’s success and charm has to do with the people who play it, and a lot of THAT has to do with how it’s designed. TF2 and L4D both take the team aspect seriously, and they’re designed in such a way that it’s really not much fun to act as a griefer or otherwise try to ruin the experience for everyone. To this day you see less of that in those games than in Halos and Unreals Tournament and so on.
Online play has really subgenrefied. You’ve got your online shooters, your MMOs, your casual Farmvilles, and so much more. It’s no longer enough to say “yeah, I play online.” What you play online is almost as varied as what you can play off.
Hanamigi 03/22/2010
With the book Flatlandia E. Abbot teaches us that you should never say that there’s nothing beyond what we know.
New gameplays will come, along with new technologies like the recent announcements of headtracking in video games to let people feel really into a 3d world.

It’s amazing to think of how much innovation in multiplayer gaming over the last 12 years is directly linked to Valve, isn’t it?
Half-Life was the basis for arguably the two most popular online shooters of the late 1990s, TFC and Counter-Strike; not to mention it was truly the beginning– more accurately: an explosion– in wide scale community modding of what was otherwise a pretty bare-bones online experience.
Half-Life 2’s release saw Counter-Strike refined in CS: Source (though I’ve honestly never been a big fan of CS, you have to give credit where it’s due).
And finally in 2007 and 2008, The Orange Box gave us what was previously the closest contender to Duke Nukem Forever in leading the vapourware department in Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead, needing no explanation, respectively.
Valve must be fatiguing from all this innovation … and what has the rest of the industry given us in that time? Aside from the perfect-and-if-you-say-otherwise-I’ll-kill-you Unreal Tournament, and its successor UT2004, not much.
Great article, Lewis. These are my picks for what I think were the most innovative and/or fun titles in the high speed internet era.
1. UT99 / UT2004
2. TFC / TF2 (though I have not played nearly enough of the latter)
3. Starsiege: Tribes
4. Ghost Recon
5. Battlefield 1942
My problem these days is actually finding like-minded people to play a multiplayer game with. Granted, my internet connection is super shit but I think even if I had a connection I’d spend more time trying to rally my friends to join in than actually enjoying the game with strangers. Multiplayer gaming with strangers is still fun but there’s a lot to be said about co-op/competitive play with friends. When my rig and connection get up to speed I’ll be badgering you all.
Are there any UT Thievery fans here? Now that was a totally different multiplayer first person experience.

Nice article. TF2 is one of the most special games I have ever played (and still to this day play!). It was great from the start and has only become better with Valve’s fantastic level of continued support (surely pretty much unrivalled by any other game?). Not to mention that because it came as part of Orange Box (again, this must go down in history as one of the greatest packages released) I paid around £6 for TF2 at launch! Truly amazing. <3 Valve & TF2
I wanted to mention that I think with regards to the future of multiplayer FPS, I'd like to start seeing more destructable worlds. People seem to have enjoyed this aspect of the new Battlefield game, although I think (and hope) we'll progress to procedural destruction ala the Red Faction games, rather than the old as yer granny scripted 'destruction' of Battlefield BC2. But then I'm pretty much a sucker for procedural anything. 😛
Here, have some innovation, or at least some outrageous fun with “pixel by pixel” physics :3
http://www.datarealms.com/games.php
@ MrRobsa, I would like to see fully destructible everything. Landscapes completely altered by mortar strikes, tank shells and grenades. It really would change the dynamic of a defence/offensive game mode. If you fancy a game of TF2 sometime you can add me on STEAM as ClownSt0pper (that’s a zero)
@ Gregg, I have lots of great people to play online games with through STEAM, but I do agree that sometimes it can feel hollow playing online by ones self, even though 31 other people may be on the server with you. Perhaps on TAP we can get a nice little gaggle of people together for regular multiplayer sessions?:)
@Lew: A Tap multiplayer group/clan/conclave/brethren/gaggle/orgy would be most excellent.
@Hanamigi: Cortex Command! Blimey I haven’t played that in years. I bet it’s come a long way since then. It was like Worms raised on a diet of bolts and WD40.
@Lewis: Check the link I posted above, that game is BASED on destructable everything 😀
@Gregg: I just discovered it but instantly gave full support, it’s really awesome and full of mods made by a community that looks great, I hope they finish developing it and it becomes a big hit!
I showed it to some friends of mine, most of them liked it, some were reallt fascinated but one said “lawl man that’s some coin-op grphics, I mean we haev 3DEE I liek need fewr shpeed”, so I think that nowadays 3D is definitely a solidly laid foundation.
Which is really lame.

Stan Martin Long Nights Twangtone
The new album from Stan Martin continues his run of finely-honed Telecaster infused twang laden neo-country. This is Martin’s sixth album of Bakersfield bound country. He is a master of the understated craftsmanship as singer, writer, producer and musician on this and previous albums. Although he is a talented picker he is not a show-off and is happy to trade guitar licks with the similarly minded Kenny Vaughan. The latter appears on all but one of the tracks here. Add to that the father and son rhythm section of Dave and Jerry Roe and you have a formidable team of musicians who know well how to serve a song to best effect.
Those songs, all written by Martin, are largely tales of lost and found love. They are delivered with humour, insight and a degree of honesty that shows an understanding for the frailties, possibilities and pitfalls that every relationship offers us all. One thing immediately apparent is the sense of melody inherent in the songs. An ingredient that is often missing in the overly riff driven hard rock of much of today’s overblown country music. Song after song feels like an old friend and all the more welcome for that. There is an atmospheric and appropriately named instrumental (El Tarantino) that fits easily in context (not unlike those that graced Way Out West, the album Vaughan made as part of Marty Stuart’s band, The Fabulous Superlatives). This all hints at a wide spectrum of influences and also mirrors some of the great and more expansive country music that was given exposure on the airwaves in the late 80s and early 90s.
The ten songs have a lasting appeal that will delight any of Martin’s fans and for those who have yet to have the pleasure of his company this is a great place to start to appreciate Martin’s talent. His last album was his best yet, up to that point, but this one is likely to grab that top slot. And why not, with such tales of betrayal south of the border as Dos Tequila. Then there is the reflection of the ballad, My Dream, wherein there is a wish for one’s love to be returned in equal measure. Long Nights is long on strong hooks and intertwined guitars and background vocals by Dave Roe. Another goodie is Play With Fire which again effectively features Roe on vocals. The whole album plays though as a piece without any filler or less interesting songs. This, then, is an album to savour and to return to and a reminder why so many of us miss top-notch music that, while it may not be breaking barriers or changing the musical landscape, is rather played for its own sake. The sake of the song.

Long Nights
Twangtone Records
If all was right in this world, or at least somewhat right, the song “Long Nights” by Bay State-based singer, songwriter, and guitar slinger Stan Martin as found on his new album of the same name would be climbing the Billboard country charts. But Martin is not “Bro,” as in Bro-Country, nor is he a syrupy slickster contemporary country type. Given the current state of mainstream country music where it isn’t all that country at all given what came before it, Martin is an artist who continues to ply his trade in twang in a time warp hanging onto the Waylon, Buck, and even ‘90s Alan Jackson flavored sounds. For the country music faithful who like it more on the trad side, that’s a good thing as a new Stan Martin record is as reliable, in the country scheme of things, as a trusty pair of Levi’s. Long Nights is such an album. For the making of it, Martin headed appropriately to Nashville and enlisted the services of such “A” list studio musician types as fellow guitar slinger Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart’s Fabulous Superlatives) and bass ace Dave Roe who has played with everyone from Johnny Cash to Dan Auerbach. How cool it is to hear a guitarist the caliber of Martin going one on one with the vaunted Vaughan as on the instrumental “El Tarantino” from the new album. The other nine compositions on Long Nights, all originals and spanning the title track which leads off the album to closing song “All Mine,” are Martin at his finest writing songs with regular folks appeal. And speaking of the title track, it is such a radio-ready piece of tunage it defies logic that it will never find a home on country radio. The song is also par for the course from Martin who never fails to deliver a country nugget of that caliber on every solo album release, Long Nights being no exception

Whiskey Morning
Stan Martin is a keeper of the traditional country music flame. He’s a Don Rich/Danny Gatton-schooled Telecaster-loving guitar picker, a virtuoso who is not a showoff. And he’s a skilled writer and musician who is unabashedly, unapologetically country.
Martin’s original songs have a moving, sometimes comic, honesty. He retains a romantic toughness, as with some of Waylon Jennings early 1970s tunes written before the outlaw stance became a circus act.
As usual, Martin is supported by well matched players like steel player Pat Severs. He adds Dobro to complement the melancholy of Martin’s languid waltz, “Damn This Town,” then returns to the steel to trade light-hearted-but-serious licks with Martin’s Tele on “Reasons For Drinking You Gone,” the honky-tonk dance tune that follows.
A darker, almost sinister rocker, “Running Away” hints at the mood of the album’s powerful closer, “Wrapped Around Your Finger,” which is one of the best tunes Martin’s ever released. It’s big and dramatic without being overblown or overwrought.
This song is a dramatic example of how Martin’s playing resonates emotionally as much as musically. And that’s what the really good ones are going for. – Rick Allen- Vintage Guitar

Stan Martin- “Whiskey Morning”
Stan Martin and his faithful Telecaster are back in the limelight with album number five in a discography full of great country music. The offspring of a tradition that is now shared heritage almost exclusively from the independent market, the so alive and vital “Whiskey Morning” is a collection of clear country songs between California and Texas. With strong ties to the more traditional Music City heritage, the trip is all the more surprising considering Stan Martin comes from the east coast and was raised in South Boston, Massachusetts. “Whiskey Morning” was almost inevitably conceived; recorded old school without additions or digital enhancements, played with great heart and passion and co produced with bassist Dave Roe (Johnny Cash and Dwight Yoakam). The names involved are veterans of a thousand sessions who capture the essential spirit along with the simplicity and sincerity inspiring the raw sound to be credible and effective. The rest is accomplished by the talent and the skilled composition of Stan Martin, the author of all the material on the disc in tribute to his country legends and their roots. Honesty and high sensitivity are the common denominators of a selection that approaches from time to time to Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, George Jones, Dwight Yoakam and Kris Kristofferson while maintaining a pleasant contemporary aura. From the great acoustic ballad, “Damn This Town” to a series of pedal steel and telecaster in “Running Away”, the classic bittersweet charm in “Singer of Songs” and the connections between country and pop of “The Note” help in outlining the more than clear intentions and desire of Stan Martin to act as a true traditionalist. Music to sip and enjoy in its entirety. www.stanmartin.net

Raised in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, Stan Martin’s music sounds more like the country music of Nashville. His first EP: “Wicked Heart” (2001) served as an attention grabber. The previous studio albums: “Cigarettes and Cheap Whiskey” (2002), “Love Ain’t That Tough” (2009) and “Distilled Influences” (2012) also delivered the pedal steel soaked country tunes of this versatile singer/songwriter. But with his new album: “Whiskey Morning” (2014) he is doing this all again in the superlative.
Stan Martin wrote eleven songs for this new album and he executed a sincere tribute of the great ones in this musical genre. The experienced listener will discover the influence of Merle Haggard or the sobbing voice of Dwight Yoakam (or even Chris Isaak) in these honky tonk songs and also legends like Lefty Frizzell and Hank Williams have left clear traces in the work of Stan Martin, as in the song: “Come On Trouble” that you may hear on the attached video.
Also, there are sad country ballads that deserve notice with the songs “If”, “Singer of Songs” and the title track “Whiskey Morning”, just like the very danceable country rock via the song “Little Bit Right”, something similar of Raul Malo on melodramatic “The Note” and Buddy Holly-rhythm on: Wrapped Around Your Finger”. “Damn This Town” is a nice old fashioned sounding Waltz, and after has you dancing on the delicately, gently swaying “Reasons for Drinking You Gone”.
Bass player Dave Roe (Johnny Cash and Dwight Yoakam) not only coproduced “Whiskey Morning” with Stan Martin he also played bass guitar for the album.
The pedal steel guitar is played by Pat Severs and the accordian by John Deadrick (Dixie Chicks and Patty Griffin) provides for an extra cheerful note, while Michelle (Mrs.) Martin provides vocal support. If you still want to enjoy more of the good old country sound then we propose this plate of Stan Martin be hereby warmly recommended.

Stan Martin: Whiskey Morning
The Cream of the Crop!
Rick Allen, Vintage Guitar Magazine, said about Stan Martin, “He is a celebration of all that is best in country music”. And he is right. We have already had the opportunity to speak with Stan on Music Box, to pass his songs and say how much we enjoyed his previous album, Distilled Influences.
He is back with a new album, his fifth, Whiskey Morning. Album notes reveal:
-This CD was “a l’amcienne” in honor and tribute to all the legends of country music who are my heroes. We put some mics up, gathered the band in the studio and captured the moment on tape with NO digital enhancements-
All the tracks on the album are written by Stan Martin. Born in Boston – nobody is perfect…- Stan is, by his own admission (and cela the de’bonstonise…), the disciple of two legends: Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. But he owes as much to his mom who played with local groups of country and bluegrass.
At the age of 11, he was offered his first guitar and taught himself to play. By 15 he was playing in honky tonks. He explains:
-I grew up as a poor child. I was never looking for a musical genre. I was raised and fed country music and this is what I play.
He played lead guitar for a country rock group, The Merles, and also for John Lincoln Wright and the Sour Mash Boys. And he began to write and compose while refining his passion for playing the Telecaster.
His album, Cigarettes and Cheap Whiskey received a good reputation from the media and recognition from his peers that led him to share the stage with Patty Loveless, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Billy Joe Shaver, Jim Lauderdale, and Martina McBride.
For Whiskey Morning, he collaborated with legendary bass player Dave Roe (Johnny Cash and Dwight Yoakam), and also other elite – the crème de la crème – of Nashville musicians: drummer Dave Dunseath (Lee Ann Womack), pedal steeler Pat Severs (a monument of the Grand Old Opry, sideman of Bill Anderson) guitarist Mike Baker (Vern Gosdin and Dottie West) and accordionist John Deaderick (Patty Griffin and the Dixie Chicks).
What is best in country music according to Vintage Guitar? Yes. With a blink of an eye, but just a wink, to the country pop way of the Mavericks with The Note, Kris Kristofferson’s touch with Singer of Songs and Damn This Town. And a zest of country-rock with Running Away.
Stan Martin is true to his roots. Because He still says, “People will always love; they will sometimes lose love and still drink…and people still love to listen about it in a song”. He adds:
Willie Nelson said the most sensible thing when he said: “music gives people a chance to enjoy something together.”
A chance also, as he sings in Whiskey Morning, to chase the devil that is in us…

A new CD (his third if I’m not mistaken) with Stan Martin (who I heard at the Ydre Country festival a few years back) arrived a few weeks back. Stan has, as usual, written all the songs himself and also produces it together with Dave Roe. Stan writes in the liner notes that this CD was recorded in the “old school” way to honor the legends that are his heroes. The band played live and was recorded in the studio without any overdubs or digital changes. How’s the result? Well, a good mixture between faster and slower songs with very good musicians backing him up. There are a few real killer tracks here that I want to mention. Among them are the 4/4 shuffle song “Come on Trouble” which is one of the better. I also like the ballad “If”, “Damn this Town”. The standout track in my opinion is “Reasons for Drinkin’ You Gone”. Two other good tracks are the ballads “Singer of Songs” and title track “Whiskey Morning”. If you’re interested in acquiring this album you can contact Stan on his website www.stanmartin.net

Stan Martin ‘Whiskey Morning’ - Twangtone
Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 06:33AM
Alongside such notables as Dave Gleason and Kenny Vaughan, Stan Martin is a singer, songwriter and notable guitarist. All three are Telecaster exponents of the highest order. They understand the nature and truth of twang. Martin follows up his last album Distilled Influences with this latest alcohol flavoured collection of eleven original songs. On this occasion he took the advice of bassist Dave Roe and recorded in Nashville. Roe co-produced with Martin and they have delivered a fresh sounding album that is steeped in the classic country sounds of Merle, Buck, Dwight through to contemporary Americana at its rootiest edge.
Roe has gather some notable players such as Dave Dunseath on drums, Pat Severs on steel guitar and John Deadrick on accordion, to mention but three. They are taught, focused support group who know how to make this music work the way it needs to. The opening Champagne Wishes is a steel infused riff that has a power twang that is built around some tight melodic phases and choruses. Like some of the great 80’s to early 90s albums that blended, among a number of influences, some British invasion tautness with a trademark Bakersfield twang. A blend that finds much favour, as it has in the past, with these particular set of ears. Come On Trouble and Little Bit Right also follow this template. There is however a lot of variety on the album with the solid love song If taking a more acoustic route with dobro and accordion. Damn This Town express the frustration of a man living far from home trying to make his way against the odds. A troubadour unable to make achieve his ambition or find a foothold to build a living from. A feeling many have had in trying to follow a that particular dream. As with a lot of country songs these song will seem familiar and are easy too make friend with. Singer Of Songs is about a man who has used up his favours in trying to be true to his hopes and to follow in the footsteps of his idols.
Martin has never been one to stray too far from what is a perennial theme in traditional country music for the subject matter for some of his songs -that is drinkimg. The title track and the self explanatory Reasons For Drinking You Gone, The Note and the aforementioned Champagne Wishes are ones that deal with issues related to the powers of booze. Love and life are the other regular stalwarts of country music and music in general. The closing song Wrapped Around Your Finger talks of a relationship that provides solace of sorts. It that has the rhythm feel of a Paul Kennerley song and close the album with upbeat confidence.
Stan Martin has been perfecting his craft and this, his fifth, album is his best. His vocal are more assured and his playing and integration with the pedal steel and with the rhythm section assures that all flows along with ease. This is something for those who like their country straight up but not restrained to any one strand. Rather this album is an amalgamation of on number of influences delivered as a satisfying whole.

Stan Martin is also one artist, which deliver a class album since ancient times for the next who just following her heart, music remain faithful to the "real" country, while never antiquated look, but are far away from a major deal and consequently see Nashville little attention. Somehow, it's a drama. As the is, which apparently comes with the next, magnificent album "eternal secret" Stan Martin from Boston. "Whiskey Morning" offers shiny, pristine, infectious full of wonderful twang country, Bakersfield country, honky tonk, Hillbilly country, crisscrossed with the tracks and influences of such greats as Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart. Every song on this album is a class of its own. The event, in addition to Martin's class vocals, whose exquisite playing of the Telecaster and the work of the Grand Ole Opry steel guitar virtuoso of Pat severs is determined. Was recorded the album accordingly in Nashville, produced by the famous Nashville bass player Dave ROE, incorporating other Nashville musicians such as Dave Dunseath (drums) and Mike Baker (acoustic guitar). Not only songs such as the wonderful, certain Bakersfield ESPRIT of lots of uptempo opener "Champagne Wishes", the flawless honky TAM "Come On Trouble" (very beautiful melody, great pedal steel - and E-guitar picking), decorated with fine sounds of dobro ballad "If", or the fleet coming over like a rousing mixture of the Mavericks and Dwight Yoakam, "the note" highlights no are, that complete album is, as I said, a "hit". Stan Martin deserved it long ago, to gain greater attention. No matter, he remains true to himself and plays his wonderful, refreshing country. So, this is just great!

(4****)
"This record was made ' old school ' in honor and tribute to the legends of country music," says Stan Martin himself beforehand about his recently published fifth studio album "Whiskey Morning." And in one of the legendary Dave Roe shared production serves the best man here actually eleven songs that justify such a claim. Songs, which although "en passant" explicitly the influence of reputed Kadam as a Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam, a betrayed but which on closer inspection however, especially underline Martins own no small talents. Songs, "en passant" although clearly betray the influence of reputed boys as Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam, but on a closer to underline especially Martin's own considerable talents.

On the one hand (sometimes a little bit reminiscent or Yoakam) vocal tricks, on the other hand his deft fingers. Skilled with the pen, but especially on the strings of his Telecaster and a host of other guitars. Proficient with the pen, but also on the strings of his Telecaster and numerous other guitars.

JC - Whiskey Morning- Third Coast Music Review
(Twangtone 4-stars)
Martin’s affection for fermented grain mash is a pretty good guide to his albums, Cigarettes & Cheap Whiskey (Twangtone, 2002), Distilled Influences (Twangtone, 2012) and Whiskey Morning show him in crackling honky tonk form, whereas I thought he was off the reservation a bit with the more country pop/soul Love Ain’t That Tough (Gibralter, 2009).
Though based in Boston, he went to Nashville for this album, co-produced with Dave Roe, the last Tennessee Three bassplayer, bringing in Nashville cats including Patty Griffin’s accordionist John Deaderick and Grand Ole Opry steel and Dobro player Pat Severs to back his eleven originals. A perennial problem with Martin is that while he can write and, with a deep, emotive baritone, often compared to Chris Isaak’s, sing a great honky tonk song, what he does with his Telecaster tends to hog the spotlight. Martin was raised on records featuring Don Rich, James Burton, Roy Nichols and Grady Martin, but, heretical as it may sound, he’s on the same level. As Rick Allen said of Distilled Influences in Vintage Guitar, “This boy sure can play… solid material, excellent singing, a great band, and best of all, killer country guitar.” JC
Distilled Influences
Stan Martin’s music is a celebration of what’s best about country music. His rolling, popping Telecaster runs are the kind that cause players to adopt that beloved plank as their ax of choice. This boy sure can play. Martin makes wonderful noise on any guitar, however: his acoustic playing on “I Do” proves the point. But when he’s playing his Tele, it sounds like he’s riding his horse and doing what he was meant to do. Even within “I Do,” the electric solo feels like a none-too-soon return to the right way of things.
His country-rock licks in “He’s Not There With You” give A nod to the Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell and California Pickers like Glenn Frey. Catchy originals like “Walk Away” also Bring to mind the Heartbreakers, but its thumping mid-tempo rhythm and one of the albums’ several impressive turns from fiddler Scott Joss land the songs squarely on the honky tonk side of town. In fact, that tune and “You Got Me Singing The Blues” are so honky tonk it’s hard to believe there’s no one in the band named “Smokey,” “Lefty,” or “Tex.”
The competent touch of the Rhythm Kings’ Ducky Carlisle in the Producer’s chair keeps Distilled Influences uncompromisingly country without being either too retro or artificially modern. The result of the equation is an album that’s 100% on the money. This album has it all: solid material, excellent singing, a great band, and best of all, killer country guitar.
Steve Morse - Review
Stan Martin has too often slipped through the cracks of the country-rock scene. Let's hope that changes with this excellent new batch of songs that glide and twang along to honky-tonk heaven. Martin's Boston-based trio are the stars -- as his Telecaster magic fronts the driving rhythm section of bassist Mark Hickox and drummer Ducky Carlisle. They're aided at times by world-class fiddler Scott Joss, a Bakersfield legend who has toured with Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam. Martin wrote all the songs and a couple of the more rocking tracks would fit comfortably on Dwight Yoakam's searing "Gone" album from the '90s. Besides flashing enough hot licks to rival longtime Yoakam guitarist Pete Anderson, Martin also shows gritty touches of the Rolling Stones and the jangle pop of R.E.M. and the Gin Blossoms. The song themes revolve around the love-losing, love-starving, love-cheating and sometimes love-finding souls who often don't know what hit them, good or bad. Martin has a great feel for honky-tonk music ("I just drank my last dollar/ I'm still sober, just my luck" he sings in "Mr. Lonely Me''), but he remains a romantic at heart. And his guitar solos are dazzling as he puts on a veritable guitar clinic throughout. In a more perfect world, Martin would have folks in Nashville, Bakersfield, and just about anywhere else recording his songs.
STEVE MORSE, former longtime Boston Globe staff critic who has also contributed to Billboard and Rolling Stone and is currently teaching an online course in Rock History at Berklee College of Music
Looking at the influences represented by the album covers featured in the cover artwork, there seems one missing to me: Dwight Yoakam. For as well as featuring former Yoakam sideman Scott Joss on several tracks. Stan Martin has also included some other of Yoakam's influences. Martin's eleven original song all stand up as solid honky-tonkers and dancefloor heartbreakers, with touches of additional elements from the more broad-minded 60s and 70s artists. Working with a tight bass, drum and guitar set-up that adds Joss' fiddle to the core band on six cuts, gives the songs an economic and focused sound with Martin's Telecaster well to the fore over Ducky Carlisle’s solid drums and Marc Hickox's propulsive bass. The former also co-produced the album as he did with the previous Cigarettes and Cheap Whiskey album so this is exactly how the band want to sound and it's pretty good.
Martin is not as distinctive vocalist as Yoakam (but then who is?) but does a fine and believable job of delivering these songs. Some sound like they come from a time when Buck Owens was played on radio next to The Beatles. There's also a touch of pub rock in the mix (Right Now) when musical influences were crossing back and forth across the Atlantic.
The overall influence is true old-school country filtered through a rock solid base which results in some enjoyable and entertaining music. It isn’t a stretch to hear Dwight singing You Let Me Down. The distilled influences on Stan Martin and his band have resulted in an album that, while it may not push any envelopes, is neither overtly retro or bad country-pop. For that Martin deserves credit. Long may he continue to lead his team to produce a musical mix that seemed to vanish at the end of the 90s, a musical direction that, I for one, thoroughly enjoyed.
Translated from French to English via IE8 translate
When told that Stan Martin, whose fourth album, Distilled Influences, just released, is originally from Boston, you say (as I did): "by Boston? Ah, good... They do the country in this corner there? »And then you listen to it. And there – and this was the case in 2009 with the album Love is not That - all your prejudices, all shots, all assumptions, fall. Who knows if, in Boston, they do for the country, but what is known is that Stan Martin in fact, him, and the real! And it is no coincidence if the label producing Distilled Influences is called Twangtone Records. The twang, it is this "accent" who are you country. The twang of Stan Martin, it's hardcore. And it is the first truly country artist out of New England.The title even album comes from a phrase that Stan uses to describe his "sound": "all my influences are as distilled through me, it says well how I have evolved to become an artist that to finally found her own voice.» His voice. And his way.What is on this CD of 11 titles? That's good. For example Mr. Loneley Me which brings back us to the heyday of "Cowboy" Jack Clement and Johnny Paycheck. The Bluebird superb that "sounds" very Irish. The very Texas Good Bye Houston. Of country blues with You Got Me Singing The Blues. Of country rock with He's Not There With You, You Let Me Down, Should've Been Gone.Stan Martin, of course, grew up in Boston. But it was fed by that listened to his mother. Namely the Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. Hard to find better. And, to make things quite clear, include musicians, in addition to Marc Hickox (bass), Ducky Carlisle (drums, percussion), Michelle Martin (harmony vocals), a certain Scott Joss. Who was the fiddler by Merle Haggard.In The Boston Globe, Steve Morse wrote: "Stan Martin is a not yet famous country hero whose the honky tonk button should hang the ears of Dwight Yoakam, Merle Haggard, and all those who love the music that moved. Since his debut with The Blackbirds, Stan has cultivated his passion, singing and doing the picking with a talent that should push Nashville, knocking on his door. "What would be even better (but that, a journalist from Boston is not obliged to know), this would be it Austin who knocks at his door.On the cover of Distilled Influences, there are 33 T of George Jones, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Lefty Frizzel, the Outlaws (Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash), Tammy Wynette, etc.As long as Stan distil us such influences, we are taker!Alain Sanders
Stue French - Country Music Capital News
You don’t hear of many country artists emerging from Boston, let alone one with a love of traditional country.
Stan Martin’s new album Distilled Influences takes me not so far back, but far enough to remind me of the ground breaking sounds of a young Dwight Yoakam. The cover artwork says it all, his influences in full view. With sparse but full instrumentation, it’s refreshing music to hear. Stan’s Fender guitar leads the way through tunes in styles that range from Lefty to The Mavericks. Merle Haggard’s long-time fiddler Scott Joss joins Stan’s regular line-up to top it off . The classic country shuffle sound of Mr. Lonely Me to the driving 4/4 rocker He’s Not There With You will satisfy your appetite for good country music. Stan’s smooth vocals manage to make the classic but unique styles of country blend well. Stan has written every song and is doing his best to get some heart and direction back into Country Music.

Fishing in fake waters
By Sreya Deb on September 13, 2018
Multiple social media accounts masquerading as real are impostors, making this another downside of the virtual world that can lead to bullying, defrauding, stalking and blackmailing
Imagine that your phone pings one afternoon with a follow request from an attractive stranger. Do you hit ‘confirm’ or ‘reject’? According to the global online data portal Statista, an average person has at least 7.6 active social media accounts, with 98 per cent of those people having at least one social network account. With that said, ‘catfishing’ — the act of creating one or more fake social media accounts in order to target others on the platform for bullying, romantic scams, business scams, or sometimes to simply gain attention — has been rampant since the past few years. The term catfishing comes from the practice of storing catfish in vats, along with cod. When cod need to be transported long distances, the fishermen keep them in vats and throw some catfish with it, which helps to keep the cod agile and keep them from becoming mushy by the time the fishermen reach the destination. Social media catfishes gain their name as they keep the online community constantly weary and on their toes.
Legally, catfishes are in the clear — it is not illegal to impersonate on the Internet. However, the possible crimes committed under that fake name may see legal repercussions. There is no mechanism to check the authenticity of newly created accounts on social networking sites, which is why so many of them are surfacing quite regularly. Making a fake account is not at all uncommon. Certain websites require the user to be of a certain age before specific content is made available to them, to facilitate this, teenagers create fake accounts as adults to bypass that roadblock.
A former catfish, 23-year-old now, says that he did it because he was an angry child. “I’m definitely ashamed of it. But I do remember how angry I used to be all the time. I felt like I could lash out at all my school bullies through Facebook, Orkut and stuff, so I did. It gave me some sort of power because they didn’t know who I was.” As a teenager, his school life was difficult — he didn’t have many friends and was not popular in his class. Getting back at the people poking fun at him through social media seemed like the ‘smart thing to do’ at the time. “Looking at how fake accounts and catfishing has become a trend now, I do think I might have indulged in something that could possibly have had larger implications if it went wrong,” he admits.
Catfishing is even more popular on dating websites. One such dating website based in UK called FreeDating conducted surveys and proved that one out of every ten online dating profiles are fake — starting from the profile image to the information provided. The catfish use this fake information to bait someone else on the platform, and these then have the potential to develop into a number of scenarios.
Exchanging of personal information with someone the user thinks is genuine can lead to stalking; people have often maintained long distance relationships with individuals they met on Tinder, without ever having met them, not knowing that they were interacting with a fake account. Users share personal images with people they meet online before first confirming the accounts as authentic, and such cases have led to long term bullying and blackmailing for them, mostly women.
Despite the fact that women are the likely targets of catfishing, statistics show that those with the most number of fake accounts are in fact women. In 2015, a lady in Chechnya was contacted by the ISIS to leave her life and join the terror group. In turn she, along with two other Chechen women, catfished the ISIS and conned them out of 2,000 pounds, posing as three women who wanted to become jihadi brides.
“I’ve been catfished many times on Tinder,” says Tanisha, a 21-year-old. Most interactions on Tinder start with a profile picture and the bio provided on the profile, which makes it tough to tell the fakers from the authentic ones. “I’ve gotten close to some people on Tinder, and then later realised that they were fake accounts. They would refuse to talk on the phone or meet in person. Those are the red flags,” she says, adding, “I’ve been asked for nudes too, on Tinder. The internet is a weird space sometimes.”
There are some ways to be avoid being catfished. One can be a little more paranoid and vigilant. Checking the personal accounts of requests or messages from unknown people is primary — if they do not have any listed common friends or pictures that are not tagged, they might be fake. If the account activity is sparse, checking if the information available is authentic also helps. Another common tip is that one should avoid accepting requests for the sake of increasing their social media following. ‘I remember being catfished on Facebook once, the guy’s profile picture was a cartoon character,” recalls Shreya. “This guy pretended to be an ex-student of the school I went to, and kept asking me questions about myself — what I did, what my interests were, and who I hung out with. But every time I tried to ask him something about him to figure out if I knew him, he’d evade the question. That’s when I blocked him.” She even pointed out that some people use social media solely for the purpose of making friends, and in that process too, they find themselves catfished. “It’s sad because while the internet is supposed to be a free space, it is also dangerous,” she adds. Catfishing can often translate to stalking and blackmailing for the victim.
There have been television series and documentaries made on catfishing, but the trend itself has shown very little signs of dying out. “What really bothers me is that anyone can be catfished by anyone, as long as they are using social media. Unless you are careful about every Internet interactions that you have and never let your guard down, there is no way to avoid it .”

Former S. Korean first lady, feminist Lee Hee-ho dies at 97
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Lee Hee-ho, a South Korean feminist activist who fought for democracy against dictatorships alongside her husband and future President Kim Dae-jung, has died. She was 97.
Lee, a devout Christian, left a will saying that she would pray for South Korea’s people and a peaceful unification with North Korea in heaven, according to Park Han-shik, an official from the Kim Dae Jung Peace Center. Park said Lee died Monday.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in tweeted that the country has lost a “great person” who devoted her life to women and democracy.
Born in the Seoul in 1921, Lee following her college graduation and studies in the United States began actively campaigning for women’s rights in the 1950s, establishing activist and research groups and serving a senior role with South Korea’s YWCA.
She married Kim in 1962 when he was a dissident politician. Kim, who died in 2009, survived a death sentence and an assassination attempt by dictators before winning the presidency in 1997.
Kim won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 for his pro-democracy struggle and his rapprochement policies with North Korea, months after he met then-North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang for the first summit between the Koreas since their 1950-53 war.
North Korea sent a high-level delegation to the South after Kim Dae-jung died in 2009.
There’s speculation the North may send another delegation to mourn Lee’s death although diplomatic activity between the Koreas has halted since a February summit between current North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump collapsed over disagreements over exchanging sanctions relief for nuclear disarmament.
An official from Seoul’s Unification Ministry, which deals with affairs with North Korea, said that the North had not expressed a desire to send a delegation as of Tuesday morning and that it was unclear whether the country would. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, citing office rules.
Lee had joined her husband’s 2000 trip to Pyongyang for a summit and also visited the North Korean capital in 2011 after the death of Kim Jong Il.
She is survived by her two sons.

“You cant do this work from a desk.”
Chris Serres is a reporter for the Star Tribune covering social services and issues affecting society’s most vulnerable populations.
In the interview, we discuss his reporting on individuals with mental illness and the elderly. More specifically, we explore his eye-opening work that exposed statewide injustices happening to these two groups and their families.
His 2015 series of articles, titled “A Matter of Dignity,” explored Minnesota’s archaic and dehumanizing healthcare system for those with mental illness. In honor of their work, Chris and his colleagues were named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in Local Reporting.
More recently, Chris penned a five-part series that took a deep look at Minnesota’s elderly care industry called “Left to Suffer.” What he found was an alarming number of crimes committed against senior citizens and thousands of allegations receiving little to no attention from state authorities.
Our conversation focused primarily on these two projects, however we discuss several journalism-related topics. Among those include Chris’ approach to immersing himself in the lives of his subjects, current shortfalls of media, giving people hope, and much more.

#PersonalSpace: 600 asylum seekers put up at 98-bed Croydon hotel
UKAsian/Agencies September 18, 2014
A Croydon politician has called for immediate action after housing inspectors found more than six hundred asylum seekers crammed into a 98-bedroom hotel in the south London borough.
According to reports, nine people were put up in just one room whilst a majority of the others had four each.
Local MP Steve Reed has now written to Immigration Minister James Brokenshire after the overcrowded conditions at the Queen’s Hotel near Crystal Palace were brought to light by Croydon Council’s housing enforcement team.
Inspectors found one of the buildings had 500 people sleeping in it, while another building, which is supposed to accommodate up to 68, had 100 people in it.
Mr Reed said he has received complaints from people living nearby about noise, intimidation and antisocial behaviour by the asylum seekers in the hotel.
He said: “I am furious that the Home Office didn’t consult either the local community or elected representative about plans to house more than 600 asylum seekers in the area.
“The hotel is on the edge of our small, but thriving shopping centre in a highly residential area.
“It seems highly inappropriate to place so many asylum seekers in an area like this without warning or preparation.
“I am demanding an urgent meeting to discuss local residents’ concerns.
“I am worried about the safety of the people living in the hotel, the sudden conversion of the hotel into a bed and breakfast hostel without consultation and the impact of an extra 600 people suddenly arriving in the neighbourhood.”
A Home Office spokesman said: “We are taking urgent steps with our housing providers to reduce the number of people living at the Queens Hotel in Crystal Palace.
“We have ensured that the numbers in accommodation at this location meet appropriate requirements.”

Imports of cars slowing down 2008-09-25 - TBKTVN
The number of cars imported in the form of complete built units (CBU) in September is forecast to drop to 1,400 units, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).
If the forecast is true, car imports in September will decrease by ¼ in quantity and ½ in import turnover compared to August.
Import turnover is estimated at around $25 million for September.
GSO said that 1,900 vehicles were imported in August while the real import turnover was $56mil.
In the first eight months of the year, Vietnam imported 44,400 vehicles with the value of over $855mil. It is estimated that in the first nine months of the year, CBU units will number 45,900 with the total import turnover of $881mil.
The figures show the sharper decrease of CBU imports in value than in quantity. Analysts have said that this is explained by the sharper decrease of car imports in comparison with trucks and commercial vehicles.
However, estimates said that imports in August would be 300 units lower than in July and import turnover in August would be $7mil lower than in July. Meanwhile, actual imports were just 100 units lower than in July, while import turnover was $5mil higher than the previous month.

Bend it like bamboo: Meet the Hyderabad couple building eco-friendly houses with the plant
By Nitin B. on May 6, 2017 in Environment and Ecology
An eco-friendly bamboo house costs just 2.5 lakhs and provides livelihood, too.
A newly married couple in Hyderabad hunts for a sofa. It leads them to a future they never imagined.
Meet Prashant Lingam and Aruna Kappagantula, the brains behind Bamboo House India which constructs eco-friendly houses - not made of bricks, cement and steel, but entirely made out of bamboo.
Besides promoting sustainable living, the houses also provide employment to several farmers and artisans, who are involved in the process, from growing the crop, to building the structure.
"Bamboo is a great substitute for wood. There is so much potential in it. While normal trees that are cut down take 20 to 25 years to grow, bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, and can grow almost an inch every day," says Prashant, who founded Bamboo House India, with his wife Aruna.
"The tensile strength of bamboo is even higher than steel," Prashant notes.
This means that a piece of bamboo can take more tension and pressure exerted on it, than a piece of steel with the same thickness.
While the company has been making a name for itself locally, and across India, their journey was not always so smooth.
"I married Aruna in 2006, and that's when the idea came up by chance. She wanted to buy an eco-friendly sofa set, and we looked all across the city (Hyderabad) but found nothing. We went on the Internet, and found that there was some bamboo furniture being sold abroad," recalls Prashant.
He goes on to add, "We really liked the furniture and began looking for it. After almost a month, we landed up at Katlamara in Tripura on the Indo-Bangladesh border, just to buy furniture."
Prashant says that the visit was an eye-opening experience, as the entire village was filled with bamboo and every person's livelihood depended directly or indirectly on it.
"So, we decided to help them, and came up with the idea of building bamboo houses. We saw that people were already doing it in places like Latin America, and began doing a bit of research," Prashant says.
However, the couple faced opposition from their families, who were sceptical of the proposal.
The duo was in their third month of marriage, and Prashant was making good money from a commercial venture he had started, while Aruna was planning to do a PhD.
Despite their families' disapproval, Prashant says that they were insistent, and decided to travel extensively across the country, from the north east, to parts of Andhra, Telangana and Kerala, to study bamboo.
"After a year or so, we had a basic idea. We leased out a small piece of land for our infrastructure in 2008. We also hired 20 artisans from Adilabad, who used to make baskets," Prashant narrates.
"However, we missed out something big in our excitement," he rues.
The struggle
"The Indian Forest Act 1927 is an extremely complex Act, which makes it almost impossible to transport bamboo. The rules were absurd, and we also had three state Acts to deal with," says Prashant.
Soon, things started going downhill. The only way that the duo could acquire bamboo, was to transport it all the way from the north east, even though it was grown in parts of Telangana and Andhra.
Till 2010, no work could be done.
"At this point, the team was idle, because no one was buying our idea, and there was nothing on the ground for anyone to show. So, we decided to build a pilot home at the workshop. For the next few months, we kept building and demolishing. Since there was no one to guide us, we learnt from the Internet," says Prashant.
By the end of 2012, Prashant says that they had a debt of Rs 60 lakh, and all their resources were exhausted in travelling and transporting bamboo.
Things worsened in 2013 when the centre shut down the National Mission on Bamboo Application which was started in 2004.
"At this point, we lost all hope. Things went further south after I broke a leg, and Aruna developed post-pregnancy complications. We were both bed-ridden and it came to the point when we had no money to eat. We didn't know where our next meal would come from, and all the money we had, went for our child's care," says Prashant.
The couple then told the artisans team to go back, as they could not pay them. They asked the land owner for time. To add to their gloom, they lost six family members during this period.
"The only thing that stopped us from suicide was our child. We were depressed, but we didn't even have money for counselling. After our recovery, we decided to give it one last shot. There was no way to repay the debt, and we decided to sell some jewellery that we had. We got Rs 60,000 from this. In 2014, we got our first break," says Prashant.
"A principal of a Hyderabad school was looking to make a bamboo penthouse on top of a building, and he had given the project to an architect. However, the structure collapsed in three weeks," Prashant said.
"We had put the word out, and that's when we were approached. We told the principal to give us the chance. At that point, we were literally living with bamboo, and we did the project successfully," he added.
The company hasn't stopped since then, and Prashant says that they completed over 150 projects in the two years that followed.
"Initially, many people told us it was not a good business model. There was no benchmark available in this sector. We approached several civil engineering departments of colleges in India, but they were not willing to work on anything but brick, cement and steel. Today, we have become a teaching faculty in several engineering colleges across the country," says Prashant.

"India is the second-largest producer of bamboo after China, but we continue to focus only on making baskets," Prashant observes.
The bamboo houses that Bamboo House India makes cost around Rs 2.5 lakh and come with all amenities. The makers say that the house will last for at least 30 years, and support close to 100 to 150 livelihoods directly and indirectly.
"This also creates jobs in rural areas, and prevents urban migration," says Prashant.
Constructing a Bamboo House (Ground) Process
Recycle India
However, the couple wasn't done yet - they began another initiative last year.
"In 2016, we saw a person in the colony who was burning a tyre. We asked him why he was burning it, and he said that he had no other choice. So, we decided to do something, and it took us one year to figure it out. We presented the idea to the Greater Hyderabad Muncipal Corporation (GHMC)," says Prashant.
The idea was simple -- to recycle scrap, and make it furniture. The result was seats and benches made out of tyres and drums.
"The GHMC has to ideally discard their tyres after a certain number of years, and their scrapyard has an ocean of tyres. We said that we'll take it, and that's how the scrap furniture came around. We also shifted to bottles soon," Prashant says.
The team has managed to build water tanks, houses and even a girls' toilet at a government school, made mainly out of plastic bottles.
"Last month, we built a bus shelter near our workshop in Uppal out of scrap bottles. Hyderabad is short of bus shelters and contractors ask exorbitant rates. We built it for just Rs 15,000. The GHMC is very interested, as it will convey a good message about recycling," says Prashant.
However, Prashant still looks at Recycle India like a subsidiary project.
"Our main source of revenue is the bamboo houses, and we don't want to charge for the recyclable structures. We are planning to take up projects only for the government, and we have asked colleges to store their plastic bottles etc and give it to us for free, when we are doing a community project. We plan to use volunteers as free labour," he says
This year on March 23, the company launched a bamboo bicycle, at the Design Summit in Hyderabad, which it plans to sell as a substitute for the metal bicycle.
"We are also looking to scale up next year. We plan to adopt an entire village next year and are looking to export bamboo bicycles to America, where there is demand, as raw material and labour is cheap in India. We wish to make a change for the future," Prashant concludes.

Byzantium – Review
31st May 2013 7th November 2015 Jason Korsner
Worth seeing: as a low-budget effort to reinvent vampire legend, that nicely shot but lacks an empathetic emotional core
Featuring: Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, Caleb Landry Jones, Daniel Mays, Jonny Lee Miller, Sam Riley, Tom Hollander, Uri Gavriel
Country: Ireland, UK, US
Released: 31st May 2013
Sleazy nightclub stripper Clara (Gemma Arterton) has to leave town quickly after a bloody run-in with someone from her past, taking frumpy young Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) with her.
The pair, it turns out, are vampires – long undead, doomed to roam around earth forever, unable to make relationships with anyone who’ll get old and die.
When they arrive at a new seaside town, they seek refuge in a derelict hotel, owned by the awkward and lonely Noel (Daniel Mays). Clara supports them by running a brothel from the hotel, while Eleanor enrols in the local college where she falls for a class-mate, Frank (Caleb Landry Jones).
Through her writing assignments, Eleanor leaks out secrets about her past, but it’s not just her teachers who become suspicious that there’s more to these enigmatic young women than meets the eye.
In the years after the Twilight films and with True Blood still fresh in people’s minds, it’s difficult to come up with something new to do with vampires.
About as original as this gets is to have the blood-suckers puncture the skin with thumb-nails that extend when they’re thirsty, rather than with fangs. The ritual by which vampire are created is also new, but while visually dramatic, it’s narrative nonsense. Neither of these add enough to the vampiric canon to make this feel particularly worthy of our time.
With the pair being vampires, they’re a couple of centuries old, so we get to see how they lost their humanity in flashbacks that are intercut with the current story. Unsurprisingly, the flashbacks tie up with the present day, but in a way that feels contrived, as characters from the past turn out to be unconvincingly trailing our heroines.
Gemma Arterton is the more full-of-life – for want of a better phrase – of the two, but the central emotional story revolves around Saoirse Ronan, whose character is so downbeat and dour that it’s hard to care for her. Her loner of a boyfriend is equally lacking in vitality and – conveniently – struck by a blood disorder that helps to nudge the plot along.
Their relationship hardly has the glamour that Hollywood bestowed on Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, which makes you wonder who the film is even aimed at.
Hastings – which stands in for the un-named seaside resort – is shot as the last place anyone would want to live; the only lights in the whole town seem to be the name of the hotel, Byzantium, in neon, which makes the modern day less of a contrast with the nineteenth century.
That said, the film is nicely shot; moody cinematography effectively contrasts the sleazy glamour of strip-clubs with the desolation of concrete housing estates,the neon of the hotel sign with the dilapidated nature of the building itself, and a fairground with the drab nature of the rest of the seafront.
It’s hard to create a new lore for vampires and to make us care for a pair of miserable people, doomed to roam alone through time, requiring the death of humans for their own survival. This does not make for a particularly convincing argument for why we should engage emotionally in their journey – and there is little satisfaction to be gained from reaching the end of our journey with them.

MSNBC Exclusive Rights and Facebook Content Moderators
Grind for June 24th
“What’s fascinating is, people in Washington would rather spend more time in Hollywood, and people in Hollywood would rather spend time in Washington.”
– Arnold Schwarzenegger
Dems give MSNCB exclusive rights to convention coverage
The South Carolina Democratic Party (SCDP) has decided to give liberal network MSNBC exclusive rights to air live coverage of the state’s 2019 Democratic convention.
The event will feature 21 of the party’s 24 presidential hopefuls, including high-profile candidates Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders.
Other networks are permitted to bring cameras to the event, but are prohibited from broadcasting until three hours after the convention ends.
The embargo includes live-streaming through social media.
Other networks aren’t happy about the decision.
“This leaves a bad taste in our mouths,” says Steve Scully, a political editor at C-SPAN. “Our disappointment is that we intended to cover this, we had laid the groundwork and started to promote it. It’s disappointing all the way around. We hope this isn’t an ongoing pattern.”
MSNBC might decide to skip over remarks from lesser-known candidates, added Scully. “They’re shooting themselves in the foot.”
In addition, the embargo is likely to affect future coverage of Democratic events in South Carolina.
“We will not be coming, absolutely not…I also told them in no uncertain terms you better think long and hard before you reach out to us to cover something else,” continued Scully. “We will deal with 49 other state Democratic Parties. It’s ridiculous. It’s an open event.”
Conservative strategist Chris Barron mocked the embargo, suggesting it was intended to cover up Democratic candidates’ radical comments: “Frankly, if I were the Democratic Party, I would want to limit access to the convention, too. Nothing will turn off critical swing voters like a look at the radicals firmly in charge of the Democratic Party.”
This is an unprecedented effort to control the narrative of a key political event. Since when does a political party pick and choose which organizations are allowed to cover their events?
Maybe Barron is right, and the Dems want the ability to keep radical comments out of the news; or maybe Scully is right, and the network will intentionally cut out candidates the DNC doesn’t like.
Either way, the decision is not in line with Democrats’ longstanding cooperation with the media and is sure to cause fights with other networks (not to mention MSNBC doesn’t have the biggest audience).
Report: Facebook’s content moderators suffer hellish conditions
Content moderators working for Facebook review up to 200 flagged posts each day. These posts are singled out for content including hate speech, conspiracy theories, animal abuse, child pornography, graphic violence, murder, and sexual abuse.
A high percentage of moderators quit during the first year; many walk away with depression, anxiety, and even PTSD.
According to an investigation by The Verge’s Casey Newton, one moderator working in Tampa, FL suffered a heart attack at his desk and died in a hospital. The facility did not provide on-site defibrillators.
Other moderators at the Tampa facility described a filthy environment in which they regulatory found human waste at workstations. Loud altercations and fights break out monthly, often over workplace romances.
Incidents reported to HR are generally ignored or retaliated against.
Employees often work through violent illnesses in fear they will be fired for taking a single day off. Marijuana use is common.
“I can’t even tell you how many people I’ve smoked with,” said a former employee. “It’s so sad when I think back about it – it really does hurt my heart. We’d go down and get stoned and go back to work. That’s not professional.”
Ultimately, Newton concludes that Facebook and other big tech companies treat their moderators poorly because they believe AI will soon take over their jobs. Human moderators are “viewed as a speed bump on the way to an AI-powered future,” writes Newton.
Did you know… The IRS employees tax manual has instructions for collecting taxes after a nuclear war.

Mike Diva Takes His YouTube Audience Inside ‘Watch Dogs’ DLC
by John Carle, May 21 2014 // 10:49 AM
SFX guru and director Mike Diva has shown a love for gaming on his YouTube channel a number of times. Last year Mike put out an awesome homage to both Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon embracing pure 1980’s goodness just like the game and then to Mortal Kombat with a killer fight scene and phenomenal Easter egg joke inserted in there too. You can check out both on his YouTube channel.
Today, Mike released his latest video in anticipation of Ubisoft’s upcoming release Watch Dogs which comes out on Tuesday. In it, he explores the game’s tech vibe as well as the upcoming Season Pass DLC which will include cyborgs. And if there is one thing Mike Diva knows how to do, it’s bash cyborgs (he proved that last year in the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon video after all). Since it is a short, we won’t ruin it for you but it does have a distinct Diva flair to it

Trump's rise awakens Japan to the potential of online politics
July upper house poll will introduce nation to world of internet campaigning
HIROSHI MARUTANI, Nikkei political editor July 09, 2019 05:02 JST
Japan has still not adopted an effective policy on the digital economy. But as a result it is also less susceptible to the downsides of the digital revolution, such as deeper social divisions and the rise of unilateralism in the U.S. (AP/Kyodo)
TOKYO -- The recent Group of 20 summit in Osaka ended up turning into a spectacular theater of digital diplomacy.
On the morning of the last day of the two-day powwow of leaders from the world's top economies, U.S. President Donald Trump used a tweet to invite North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to meet.
Trump's surprise Twitter message broke radical new ground in the tradition-bound, secrecy-oriented world of diplomacy by making the process of arranging a summit highly visible to the global audience. Policymakers in capitals around the globe remained glued to Trump's tweets over the weekend, as did millions of people all over the world.
It was, in a sense, the culmination of a trend born in 2007, when Apple redefined mobile communications by launching the first-generation iPhone and Republican Ron Paul announced his candidacy for president. The Blackberry was all the rage in the U.S. at the time, while in Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe suffered a drubbing in an upper house election that forced him to resign.
In May 2007, an airship flew over Columbia, South Carolina, where a debate among Republican candidates for the presidential nomination was in progress. The airship flew a banner saying, "Ron Paul for President."
The airship, the "Ron Paul Blimp," was a publicity stunt to hype the long-shot Republican campaign of the 71-year-old Texas congressman, who said U.S. forces should withdraw from Iraq and that the U.S. should "leave other countries alone."
In the following year, Paul attracted as much funding as Senator John McCain, the Republican heavyweight who would become the party's presidential candidate to face Barack Obama.

True to his nonintervention foreign policy stance, Paul voted against a House resolution calling on Japan to apologize in the so-called comfort women issue. He said it was not an issue for the U.S. and American politicians should focus on making their own country better.
The way Paul appealed to voters is reminiscent of Trump's presidential campaign. Paul was an entertainingly erratic man in his 70s who advocated a narrow policy focus on America's interests.
Trump's America was already in the making. While internet technology was beginning to have an unprecedented effect on the political campaigns and the organizations covering them, online opinion was not as influential as it is today. Ardent supporters of Paul were mostly net-savvy people with unusually strong and specific passions.
While his poll ratings were languishing in the single digits, Paul enjoyed a huge, cult-like online following. He also created a buzz as the first congressman to use the iPhone.
Smartphone technology, embodied by the iPhone, ushered in an era when people could carry around a small but powerful palm-size powerful computer.
As the smartphone became a popular tool for communications and information-gathering, it also became the center of many people's political lives, resulting in the rise of digital politics. The digital revolution born in the U.S. has radically changed the political landscape around the world.
Obama's presidential campaign was also driven by the strategic use of digital tools to engage audiences with complex interactions with the candidate. The same digital dynamics worked to trigger the Arab Spring pro-democracy movement and fuel the growth of populist parties in many countries.

The highly personalized nature of the digital space tends to polarize the public on policy issues. The smartphone market grew explosively as if in tandem with the rise of the new unilateralism, which calls for focusing on national self-interest.
This new unilateralism has spawned a new breed of imperialism, marked by efforts to strengthen national power to attain hegemony for self-defined global ends.
Trump came as the most prominent personification of this political trend.
In 2000, then Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi decided to promote the digital revolution in Japan as his top policy priority.
He came to power as an unpopular leader amid turmoil created by the Asian currency crisis. He was eagerly looking for new policy ideas that could galvanize public support for his administration.
Obuchi talked with top executives at Sony and tried to push through his policy initiative to promote the digital revolution, based on his conversations with business leaders, by exerting strong political leadership at a time when policy development and execution were controlled by bureaucrats and political parties.
As a doyen of the Liberal Democratic Party's posts and telecommunications "clan," Obuchi was confident of his ability to achieve his digital policy goals.
Unfortunately, he was struck down by illness and died in office in May 2000 before accomplishing his agenda.
The post and telecommunications clan, a group of LDP lawmakers with close ties to the communications industry, did not realize the competitive potential of NTT DoCoMo's i-mode wireless communications technology, which appeared to be destined to conquer the world. Obuchi's digital agenda quickly fell into political oblivion.
In November 2000, LDP heavyweight Koichi Kato made a failed attempt to topple the cabinet of then Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori by supporting an opposition no-confidence motion. Kato's misguided rebellion, which dashed his hopes of becoming the LDP's president and prime minister, worked to make Japanese politicians wary of using digital technology for political purposes. In making the risky move in response to online opinion, Kato committed a disastrous political blunder, which convinced many old-fashioned politicians in Nagatacho, Tokyo's political power center, that the internet was a risky political tool they should not play with.
As a result, Japan lagged far behind the global trend among politicians toward strategic use of the internet, causing the Japanese government to be far too slow in its policy responses to both the positive and negative effects of the web. Japan has still failed to adopt an effective policy to promote the digital economy and has consequently remained less susceptible to to downsides of the digital revolution, such as deeper social divisions and the rise of unilateralism.

But the advent of the Trump administration has finally awakened Japan to the potential of digital politics.
Despite its premium price, the iPhone controls half the Japanese smartphone market. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga has been leading the initiative to reduce mobile phone rates by 40% from the viewpoint of how the government should deal with the power of digital platform operators, especially the heavyweights of GAFA -- Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon.
Akira Amari, the LDP's chief election strategist, has been instrumental in formulating a set of policy proposals for integrated responses to economic and security challenges.
These two senior ruling party politicians are driven by concerns about the future of Japan, which they believe is now 10-20 years behind leading digital powers like the U.S.
Twelve years since the Ron Paul phenomenon, the political situation in Japan, weeks before the July 21 upper house election, is showing signs of fast and radical change. Populist movements at both ends of the political spectrum seem to be gaining ground.
The upper house poll in 2007 led to the demise of the first Abe government amid a scandal concerning people's pension records. At that time, Japan was completely unaware of the potential of digital politics.
But the upcoming upper house election will be a good opportunity for Japanese politicians and voters to experience and assess both the positive and the negative sides of digital politics, which have transformed political behavior in many countries.

Tynecastle drama extends run
August 18, 2018 | By Thom Dibdin | Reply More
Extra dates for A War of Two Halves
The site-specific production of A War of Two Halves at Tynecastle Park has added eight extra performances across four dates for its 2018 Edinburgh Fringe run due to the demand for tickets.
The WW1 drama tells of the Hearts first team players who joined McCrae’s Battalion en masse in 1914. According to our reviewer Hugh Simpson, it does what great theatre should: “making a specific time and place seem immediate and accessible.”

Originally slated to run until Sunday 19, there will now be two performances each day on Wednesday 22, Friday 24, Sunday 26 and Monday 27 August 2018, at 6pm and 8.30pm.
Director Bruce Strachan told Æ that the run is extending because of sheer demand to see the production, which uses different parts of the Tynecastle stadium to tell the story.
Strachan said: “Feedback has been incredible and humbling – we’re all amazed by the reception audiences have given our show. So we’re delighted to have the chance to extend the run, and very grateful to Heart of Midlothian Football Club for their continued support and hospitality.”
The show, a co-production between This Is My Story and Nonsense Room, has touched its audiences in a hugely emotional way, winning plaudits from regular fringe goers and Hearts fans alike.
According to Hugh Simpson’s review: “The script is an object lesson in how to introduce a selection of characters and make the audience involved in their fates. These men are not modern-day sporting superstars, but a bunch of young men rooted in their community and at the mercy of geopolitical forces far beyond their experience or control.”
Hugh’s review can be read in full here: ★★★★★ Devastating emotion.

Paris Society Fashion 2015
An array of the grandest of Paris society will be out in full fig for what promises to be one of the most splendid balls imaginable, Le Grand Bal de Versailles. It takes rather a lot to get the terminally blase Paris creme de la creme crowd out and cooing how do you say been there, done that en franqais? but this is it. And it’s not only the Parisians who are excited. Lovers and supporters of Versailles, the magnificent palace that is the jewel in France’s crown and the largest museum in the world, are coming from everywhere for the six-day celebration before and after the ball on June 22. Actually, it is the American Friends of Versailles, and they are legion, who are hostingthe festivities. This will be their last ball for years to come, and with it their fund-raising, begun with the 1999 ball, will be complete.
The glittering night will begin with a cocktail reception in the glorious Royal Chapel vestibule at Versailles to view the recently restored Paolo Veronese masterpiece and the famous Salon d’Hercule with its gorgeous ceiling painted by Francois Le Moyne. At the same time, there will be a reception on the terrace with an extraordinary perspective of those gardens and playing fountains that feed the soul. Those guests who choose who wouldn’t? may take a leisurely stroll through the Royal Apartments and the Hall of Mirrors. It’s supposed to be a surprise, but never mind there will also be a brief performance by the Royal Opera featuring this and that etoile.
The guests will then sweep on to the splendor of the Grand Trianon, the palace built as the private residence of the royal family, for dinner and the ball. The cuisine will be exquis and Pierre Celeyron, the renowned party planner, is in charge of the decor and the flowers. And of course for the grand finale, the sky will be illuminated withfeu dartifice, because what’s a big French blast without fireworks? To add the right American touch, the Michael Carney Orchestra will be flown over from New “fork To add the ultimate French touch, Mme. Jacques Chirac is the distinguished honoree.

Net Neutrality Advocates Want to Slow Down Your Internet to Protest Fast Lanes
A coalition of groups working to preserve net neutrality wants web hosts to symbolically slow down the internet for one day to show what life might be like if internet service providers are allowed to create paid prioritization "fast lanes."
#Technology #Internet #Net neutrality #Symbolic loading icons
A coalition of groups working to preserve net neutrality wants web hosts to symbolically slow down the internet for one day to show what life might be like if internet service providers are allowed to create paid prioritization fast lanes. On September 10, Demand Progress, Fight for the Future, and Free Press— groups that helped stage the SOPA blackout in 2012 —says that web hosts will display "symbolic loading icons" to show people what it'll be like if net neutrality is destroyed. Similar to the website blackouts to protest SOPA, these loading icons will show up when a user first loads a page, and will ask them to submit a form letter to the Federal Communications Commission explaining that they oppose any plan that would create internet fast lanes. The loading icons won't actually slow sites down, but they'll have to be clicked through to see a site's main content (for that day, at least). David Segal, executive director of Demand Progress, told me that the groups have already gotten some of the internet's heavy hitters on board, but a full list of sites that are participating won't be available until tomorrow. "We're waiting for them to make it known themselves," Segal told me. "But we're expecting pretty robust participation from some brand-name websites." A press release for the protest says that many "major tech companies and web platforms" will be participating. During the SOPA blackout, Wikipedia, Google, Mozilla, Reddit, Craigslist, the Internet Archive, Twitter, Tumblr, and many other huge websites participated in the protest. Many of those same companies have pledged their support to net neutrality, but we won't know for sure if any of them will be involved until tomorrow. Still, it appears this protest has all the makings of that SOPA event, which was extremely successful: Beyond the three groups organizing it, The American Civil Liberties Union, Demand Progress, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Greenpeace, MoveOn, and dozens of other civil liberties groups have backed the idea. Earlier this year, one web host, Neocities, specifically slowed down incoming traffic from the FCC, forcing visitors from the commission to experience dialup speeds on his website. That, obviously, was a minor move, but it garnered attention from the national media. Segal told me that Neocities' move was "a cool concept," but overall, the impact was limited. "It required the FCC staff or commissioners to care about visiting that particular person's website," he said. "This has been an idea floating around for several months now, we've just been focusing on building out a tool to get it to work. We're engaging in mass protest to symbolize what it's like, and we want to remind people that this is what they're going to be facing if [net neutrality] goes away." Source: Motherboard

Alibaba beats revenue expectations on cloud boost
SHANGHAI: Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd beat fourth-quarter revenue forecasts on Wednesday, thanks to growth in its core business and its diversification into cloud computing and other services.
Alibaba has invested in new business lines such as cloud computing as a boom in its core e-commerce has peaked and its top line growth is slowing.
It reported a 51% increase in group revenue for January-March from a year earlier to 93.50 billion yuan ($13.6 billion), beating estimates of 91.58 billion yuan, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
Sales excluding revenue from consolidated businesses grew 39 percent year-on-year.
While still solid, Alibaba’s top-line growth rates have slowed sharply from a few years ago, as have those of domestic rivals such as JD.com, which last week reported its slowest quarterly revenue growth since it listed in 2014.
Alibaba said it expects its revenue for the full fiscal year ending in March 2020 will top 500 billion yuan, which would be a 33% increase on the previous year when revenue increased xxx
Its shares were up 1.7% at $177.55 in New York trade by 1451 GMT, after its fourth-quarter results release.
The group said its net income attributable to ordinary shareholders rose in the quarter to 25.83 billion yuan, from 7.56 billion yuan in the same period a year earlier.
Alibaba has made money primarily by selling advertising and promotional services to third-party merchants that list products on Taobao and Tmall, two of its e-commerce sites, but has in recent years invested heavily in cloud computing as well.
It also opened 135 supermarkets in China under its Hema division, according to its earnings release.
Revenue from the company’s cloud computing business rose 76% in the fourth quarter, it said.
It is still a relatively small part of Alibaba’s overall business, accounting for 8% of group revenue in the fourth quarter. However, the company is now the world’s third-largest cloud service provider, after Microsoft Corp and Amazon.com Inc, and the largest in China with a market share of over 40%, according to data from IDC.
Selling analytics technology to offline retailers and expanding its AliExpress e-commerce sites are other initiatives it is taking further.
Most of Alibaba’s new initiatives are still losing money. Stephen Zhu, senior analyst at Pacific Epoch, said that e-commerce growth, while slowing, remains strong enough to support these new investments.
Managing the group’s transition to new areas of business is Daniel Zhang, who was tapped by Chairman Jack Ma to be Ma’s successor in September 2018 and will formally replace him later this year.
An accountant by training, Zhang is soft-spoken and pragmatic, in contrast to Ma’s flamboyance.

All Your Bass Are Belong To Us
I promised to post about “raveyton” a long time ago, and twice. A recent ghettobassquake post serves as a fine reminder. Noting that reggaeton synths have been “sliding into more Trancedelic wave forms,” Sñr Vamanos acknowledges that “[d]ramatic synths have been there for a while.”
Sin duda! Working in an utterly omnivorous genre, reggaeton producers were waaaay ahead of the trans-regional trancehall curve.
Allow me to offer an excerpt from my chapter in the forthcoming reggaeton book (pre-orders available!) which describes the turn toward synths — even if often samples of synths — among late 90s underground/dembow/reggae/ton producers:
Around the same time the genre was becoming known by a new name, the music had begun to accrue several of the stylistic features that propel today’s radio-friendly, club-ready confections. The advent of new music production technologies, in particular synthesizer and sequencer software, has a great deal to do with this shift in sound. Programs such as Fruity Loops, with telltale “pre-set” sounds and effects, served to expand and change the sonic palettes of reggaeton producers. In part because such programs were often initially developed as tools for techno producers, the genre started to move away from reggae and hip-hop samples and toward futuristic synths, cinematic strings, bombastic effects, and (especially just before a “big” downbeat) crescendoing kick drums, snare rolls, and cymbal splashes. The latter formal devices sound more derived from trance-style techno anthems than anything else, if also, notably, sometimes syncopated in a manner more reminiscent of breaks in salsa or merengue. Established producers such as DJ Playero, DJ Nelson, and DJ Joe, as well as relative newcomers such as DJ Blass, helped move the genre’s primary sound sources from samples to synthesizers, introducing the use of heavier kick drums, ravey synth “stabs,” and trancey arpeggios as well as cartoonish digital sound effects (wind blowing, explosions). Their productions were not uniform or mutually indistinguishable, however, and each offers an interesting look at the development of the genre during a crucial transition.
[Several] tracks on Playero 41 strongly embody the genre’s new techno- and pop-oriented directions. Notty Man’s “Dancing,” for example, features various techno synths, evoking the distinctively “squelchy” sounds of the Roland TB-303 and employing the characteristic filtering, or frequency sweeps, of electronic dance music. Daddy’s Yankee’s “Todas las Yales” is another case in point. The track begins with a “detuned” synth riff evoking any number of trance or techno tracks. As a four-on-the-floor kick drum augments the riff, one could easily mistake it for a standard, if not cliché 90s club anthem, at least before the dembow drums enter. Once the 3+3+2 snares come in, along with Yankee’s voice, there is no mistaking the track for anything other than reggaeton; nonetheless, it offers a clear example of how synthesized (and/or sampled) techno references came increasingly to supplant the genre’s affinity for hip-hop and dancehall sources. The track still moves somewhat starkly between a hip-hop groove and a dembow rhythm, however, and such alternation maintains connections to mid-90s style. Moreover, at points Yankee propels his lyrics with a couple (characteristically “out-of-tune”) melodies borrowed from Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon” (1984) and the Bangles’ ballad “Eternal Flame” (1989). Although these references to 80s pop hits might seem slightly odd here, not to mention rather far from the symbolic links which borrowed hooks from reggae or hip-hop songs might once have evoked, they are actually quite consistent with what has long been an ecumenical outlook for the genre—an approach derived in part from hip-hop’s and reggae’s own voracious practices. Finally, “Todas la Yales” also offers a window into the enduring presence of Jamaica via Panama: the term yales, which Yankee at times interchanges here with mujeres (i.e., women), comes from the Panamanian slang guiales, which itself adapts gyal, a Jamaican creole version of girl or girls.
Productions by The Noise and DJ Joe during this period demonstrate similar trends. On The Noise 9 (2000), for instance, one hears the telltale sounds of Fruity Loops pre-sets and effects alongside other synthesized sounds, especially the pounding bass drums for which techno is known. One also hears, however, the same big bass synths, chopped-and-stabbed hip-hop references (e.g., squealing Cypress Hill samples), repeatedly triggered vocal lines, allusions to dancehall melodies (Ruben San crams several into a single song), and Dem Bow samples (especially the snares, but also the riddim’s resonant bass drum) for which melaza had been known. The Bam Bam, Fever Pitch, and Poco Man Jam riddims also rear their heads in the mix. Although the pistas still shift in shape and feel at regular intervals, sometimes fairly radically, the music is less pastiche-like than on earlier recordings, however, and the song forms more closely resemble standard pop fare. DJ Joe’s millennial mixtapes also seem to confirm these directions. Whereas the producer’s late 90s mixes retain a great deal of melaza style, shortly after 2000 the influence of Fruity Loops and nods to techno become far more pronounced. With the exception of Dem Bow drum samples, by the release of Fatal Fantassy 1 (2001), big, cheesy club synths, digital explosions, and melodramatic percussion crescendos dominate the tracks’ textures, overshadowing any sample-based connections to earlier styles. Vocalists still employ dancehall related melodies as well as various pop allusions (including the 50s hit “Mr. Sandman”), though one also hears a refinement of such a melodic approach: a distinctively Puerto Rican approach to melodic contour and vocal timbre—often evoking the nasal singing styles of many soneros—seems to emerge after a decade of recycling a handful of tunes. A connection between the sounds of techno and the sexual already appears rather reified by this point, underscored in DJ Joe’s case by the suggestively (mis)spelled reference to a popular video game (Final Fantasy) on his Fatal Fantassy series.
Despite these parallel movements across the reggaeton scene, during the first few years of the new millennium DJ Blass might rightly be credited as most audibly promoting the tecno sound, conflating it with sexual license, and ushering in a good number of the elements which remain staples of the genre today and mark most of its mainstream hits. Blass’s Reggaeton Sex series employs the futuristic, tactile synths and bombast of rave-era techno and contemporary trance to great effect, creating physically and psychologically compelling music over which (male) vocalists and (female) “phone-sex” samples repeatedly invoke the body and the bawdy. Over saw-tooth synths and ping-pong arpeggios, crescendoing kicks and snares and cymbal crashes, vocalists exhort (and/or order) women to “move it,” perreo, and do a fair number of other, more explicitly sexual acts. Rather than the pliant, reggae-derived basslines of the mid-90s, synthesized bass tones serve instead to accentuate the kick drums on each beat, often with a I-V (“oompah”-style) movement and sometimes tracing out simple chord progressions—a rudimentary rhythmic and harmonic role for the bass which has remained a feature in a great many commercial reggaeton productions. Against these steady bass tones and heavy kicks on each beat, the snares—sampled from Dem Bow, Bam Bam, and other favorite reggae riddims—frequently come to the fore, pulling against the foursquare feel with their 3+3+2 accents and making quite prominent what is, at times, the only audible, timbral connection to the genre’s underground roots. Gesturing to the regularly shifting forms of the mid-90s, Blass often switches between different snare samples at 4, 8, or 16 measure intervals, creating a subtle sense of form against the otherwise somewhat static synth vamps.
That Daddy Yankee track described above, “Todas las Yales,” has to be heard to be believed. You’re very welcome —
[audio:http://wayneandwax.com/wp/audio/Playero41-TodoslasYales.mp3]
Funny story — I sent that track to techno sage Philip Sherburne (almost three years ago!) and he responded, somewhat stunned:
… those vaguely detuned chords are a pretty standard trance trope – a popular present on synths like the access virus, which are highly valued in trance circles.
thanks for sharing, i had no idea that reggaeton was going in this direction. is this an anomaly?
i think reggaeton already went in this direction, actually, with producers preferring techno-y synths (often b/c of the adoption of digital sequencers, e.g., FL — pace your lil jon observations) to hip-hop and dancehall samples since the late 90s, if not a little before. i’m still trying to get a date on this track, but i think it’s from around ’98, which is almost ten years ago! pretty wild. …
if indeed this is from ’98, does that change your reading?
in turn, sez phil —
this is eight fucking years old? whoa. it doesn’t change my reading, necessarily, but it blows my friggin mind….
in that case, it does make me feel like reggaeton’s regressing (unless there is similarly bananas shit out there, but i haven’t heard it, not in 2006 anyway).
I couldn’t resist pointing out to Philip, neologist extraordinaire, that there was an artist on a DJ Joe album named “Microhouse.” (Good luck hunting that one down!)
Speaking of neologists, Simon Reynolds, to whom I also sent the track, said something pretty Simon-esque in reply —
all those riffs sound like anagrams of each other!
Speaking of anagrams — or perhaps analogs — it’s worth noting that reggaeton is not a lone vanguard in this regard. So let me to make another promise and offer, at some (not so?) future date, a similar look at funk carioca’s own millennial flirtation with ravey synthstabs & techno kicks, experiments which well predate the pós-baile-funk efforts of guys like DJ Sany Pitbull.

yankee sounds like a proper deejay on this thing, jumping styles every 16. after a few years of everpresent melodyne/autotune, the slightly out of tune multitracking on the chorus sounds so fresh.
2. Kariann | January 31st, 2009 at 8:42 pm
I love this track! Thank you! And Boy George!! There is so much to say about this track… It boggles the mind.
3. wayneandwax | January 31st, 2009 at 9:34 pm
The degree of intertextuality is indeed mindboggling — nearly overwhelming! I don’t mention it in the excerpt above, but another (out-of?)tuneful allusion by Yankee — the lilting contour that directly precedes the Boy George bit — is a reference, sin duda, to a melodic moment in Beenie Man’s 1998 hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma)” (see from ~2:10), which is itself a tune cribbed from Luther Vandross!
4. Caro | February 1st, 2009 at 11:37 am
Wow, wayne. Cool stuff. I agree with Phil, reggaeton regressed (methinks it might be un-regressing now, but nothing as interesting as the track you posted).
btw, you coming down for the Centro book release event? It’s on a teaching day for me, but I may cut class for y’all!
5. marcus | February 1st, 2009 at 4:28 pm
just to give credit where credit is due, it seems like the trancey stabs from this are taken from paul van dyk’s mid-90’s anthem “for an angel”, no? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNqT3yLZ9aw )
great post and interesting track, but in this particular instance at least i hardly think this infers reggaeton has regressed, if only because on the greater scale of electronic dance music trance is generally bottom of the barrel in terms of any interesting beat structures – this isn’t anything i’d like to hear regularly, and it’s actually why i can’t bring myself to get into a lot of the more ubiquitous artists like arcangel (as mentioned in the ghettobassquake post) or wisin y yandel that seem to send things back in this direction… i can appreciate them as entertainers but not really as relevant producers or djs – although i utterly enjoy blass/nelson/joe’s stuff, not having any on me on the moment but not under the impression their more edm elements have been specifically trancey… also, have you been checking out of dj shadow kid’s mixtapes? there’s a track on his 2007 mixtape “reventando bocina” that kind of amazes me in terms of its progression, i’ll have to find it when i get home.
cannot wait for the book to come out, btw.
6. vamanos | February 2nd, 2009 at 6:20 am
Nice one Wayne. That track is great though I would have said the synths is a slowed down sample from Sash’s ‘Encore Un Fois’ (remember that one!) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-7_7WeUMLZU. You can certainly hear the vocal sample of the French girl at the beginning. Aside from Arcangel’s Flow Factory produced tracks, I noticed in Central America recently, that some of the bigger reggaeton tracks (that got rewinds / crowd reaction) were the ones that were more trancey/303 based. The drums are seem more 4/4 housey and less Dem Bow inspired eg. Wisin & Yandel’s ‘Sexy Movimentos’ and Daddy Yankee’s ‘Pose’: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dn28nlMOYfg.
And your observations of this trance leanings in other genres like Funk carioca are bang on. Looking forward to the book!
7. wayneandwax | February 2nd, 2009 at 10:06 am
You definitely win the trancespotting contest, Vamanos! Thanks for finding the sample source. I have to admit my knowledge of trance is pretty spotty, so I’m grateful. (Thanks, Marcus, for hazarding a guess and betraying your own knowledge of the genre.) I was wondering where that French voice came from.
Yeah, as linked above, we discussed here the rise of non-dembow, techno-leaning tracks. Here’s another roundup of more recent reggaeton tracks that seem to show some movimiento away from dembow orthodoxy. Both the tracks you mention, Vamanos, are in those posts too.
Will get to funk carioca’s ravey roots soon. Got an old comp (ca. 2000?) which is great in its use of quirky samples (from techno to country to middleeastern), and no tamborzao in sight!
8. Nina | February 2nd, 2009 at 11:26 am
thanks for the 411!!
always something to learn here!
9. dj flack | February 3rd, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Seems like Baile funk maestro Edu K is the most straightforwardly obsessed with bringing back all those crazy rave sounds (and vibes) – the results are very fun indeed.

i dunno much about synths or trance, but reggaetons drums tap into some neuron receptor of mine that produces “SLICK RICK” in the remembrane.
“I dont want to see you playin with these lowlifes no more!
Now come along, we have a party to attend
With some real mature women and some more of her friends”
11. wayneandwax | February 3rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Nice quotable! As it happens, Slick Rick beats were a staple for proto-reggaeton producers like Playero, Negro, etc. The “Mona Lisa” drums seem to turn up every few minutes on those 90s mixtapes.

These photographs were compiled into a small black and white booklet for sale in Bristol.
Inspired by the I-spy books, the intention was to get people (particularly secondary school children) out and about in Bristol to see at first hand the quality of the stone buildings in Bristol.
The descriptive essay in the booklet is copied below.
The photographs in this booklet concern themselves with hand created stone buildings, in Bristol, broadly of the nineteenth century. Buildings made from solid objects cast shade onto themselves and many of these images are particularly of interest because the shadows emphasise the form of the building and give the eye interest.
Before the industrial revolution, there was no electricity and life was lived primarily by daylight. Man’s cultures developed in this environment and showed no restriction for it. People lived outside most of the time and knew nature as we never will. Buildings were always made with what was available to hand, to enclose volumes which satisfactorily modified the external environment for human comfort in inevitable harmony with the laws of physics.
When stones were put together, the process developed an architectural language with its own rules, just as the languages that we speak, but as well as the technical language there was always an iconographic language, which, while not totally intrinsic to the means of construction, provided a layer of meaning and often great beauty. The language allowed every building to have its own particular character.
We all inherit the results of those many years of work but the nineteenth century was the last period in Britain where highly skilled craftsmen produced stone buildings quickly, to a technical standard never previously seen. The iconography was perhaps not relevant to the emerging mercantile culture, but had been sustained by the inertia of traditional craftsmanship, supported by wealth and the meticulous studies of historic architecture. Is it not remarkable that a language developed by the Greeks three thousand years before, was often being used?
These buildings were an everyday production by adequately competent masons in a political economy where people that worked physically were paid extremely little. Today, relatively speaking, wealth is better distributed, which is why very few people are in a position to request a hand-chiselled stone building. Today’s masons are almost invariably occupied in the repair of the much earlier stone buildings which served as the inspiration for the nineteenth century buildings shown here.

Jodhaa Akbar - 2008
Ashutosh Gowariker?s Jodhaa Akbar is the untold love story of the greatest Mughal emperor who ruled Hindustan (now India), Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and a fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa.
Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with the Hindu King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughter?s hand to a Muslim Emperor, Akbar. When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Rajput, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey ? the journey of true love?
From the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great (?Akbar? in Arabic means great), to winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the impressive graph of the emperor and his romance with a defiant princess.
With Hrithik Roshan as Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa, this grand spectacle is produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Ashutosh Gowariker.

As Adam Macon led documentarians through a battered North Carolina wetland, vast criss-crosses of lamentably familiar vines marked the spot where cypress trees had been clearcut years before.
Among the weeds thriving where cypresses once grew were great drapes of kudzu. The invasive vine was introduced in the late 19th century to the U.S., where it became a popular — if regrettable — weapon in the fight against erosion.

Growing as fast as a foot a day, kudzu smothers utility poles, roadside forests and abandoned buildings throughout the U.S. South. Routinely headlining ‘worst invasive species‘ lists, the East Asian invader even has a sprawling nickname: ‘The vine that ate the south.’
“We came from this beautiful cypress forest, where we were knee-deep in water, and there was wildlife chirping all around, to this thicket of exotic invasives,” said Macon, a conservationist who campaigns against the wood-based industries that anchor the economies of some Southern towns, such as paper and wood pellet producers. He described kudzu as a “huge problem” for the region — one that’s “being promoted by increasing urbanization and industrial logging.”
Kudzu is treated using expensive cocktails of powerful herbicides. The cost and effort is so great that it’s often left untreated. Now, though, federal scientists say they have discovered a potent new strategy that appears to work just as well: a combination of mowing, spraying spores of a fungus disease that attacks the weed, and planting native grasses.
Despite its impressive performance as a weed, kudzu cannot establish itself where plants already thrive. That may be its greatest weakness, and it’s one that agricultural scientists are learning to exploit. But if kudzu sets seed in freshly bulldozed land, its vines can burst forth, beating out native plants to dominate fresh territory. It’s the seemingly indelible botanical mark of humanity’s heavy hand.
“Once it gets that foothold,” said Mark Weaver, a U.S. Department of Agriculture plant pathologist based in rural Mississippi, “it’s really aggressive.”
It isn’t enough to kill most of the marauding kudzu. It must be eradicated, or it will spring right back. Given high treatment costs, and low land values in the rural South, property owners have surrendered vast tracts to the weed. Millions of acres have been lost to kudzu throughout the country.
America wants its land back, but it will only do so on the cheap.
The kudzu-infected acres have “low economic value,” Weaver said. “They could have great ecological value, and that value is taken away when you have this monoculture of an exotic invasive weed. But who’s going to come up with the resources to tackle that problem?”
(American kudzu thickets have begun fostering swarms of kudzu bugs, which reached the country only recently. Initial research suggests the bugs could help reduce kudzu populations. The bugs are also attacking nearby crops, increasing the use of insecticides.)

For six years, Weaver led American government scientists in their war against kudzu. In experiments involving 99 plots at two kudzu-infested sites a few hours drive apart in Mississippi, Weaver and his USDA colleagues recently reported in Biocontrol Science and Technology paper that their new organic approach worked just as well as traditional chemical onslaughts.
“I think the reason kudzu has been so persistent is that, historically, people battling kudzu with older products ran out of money, ran out of energy and ran out of will,” Weaver said.
Not all of the treatments at the experiment sites were organic. Razed earth alternatives were labeled “Herbicide 3X,” plots sprayed with full doses of three types of more potent herbicides three times one year, and then one more time in the second year. Some plots were treated using newer herbicides that can legally be purchased and used by anybody — no license required. Some sites were mowed; others were not.
(Cartoonishly excessive though Herbicide 3X might sound, the scientists say it could be preferable to more traditional approaches using lower annual doses. That’s because those approaches may require annual spraying for a decade before the weed is eradicated.)
After two years, when the effectiveness of the chemical treatments were compared with the organic alternative, there were no statistically significant differences. The long-term success of the new approach may become clearer in the coming years, since underground kudzu reserves might be lurking beneath the newly planted switchgrass, ready to reemerge as choking vines.
“Having witnessed the ability of kudzu to regenerate from root reserves, I question the long-term outcome of the treatments,” said Cornell University pest management scientist Matthew Frye, who has studied the weed.

The fungus sprayed was Myrothecium verrucaria. The pathogen is not yet commercially available. Weaver hopes that will soon change. The disease preys on broadleaf species, such as deciduous trees, meaning it could also attack and kill other plants.
The switchgrass helps prevent erosion, serving the same purpose for which the kudzu was originally planted. It grows quickly. It can withstand some herbicides that kill kudzu. And — perhaps most importantly — it’s not vulnerable to the fungus disease.
“We think the switchgrass may provide a competitive effect,” Weaver said. “If there’s remaining kudzu thats trying to reemerge, we have this canopy now that’s shading it out.”
After switchgrass has cemented its position on the land, other native species can follow it, suggesting that the new organic solution for kudzu infestations may also be the most durable.

Yeast is a salubrious if invisible vintner, and scientists have discovered an important role that wasps have played in its spread and evolution in vineyards around the world.
Species of the single-celled fungal genus Saccharomyces feast on grape sugar and break it down to create alcohol molecules.
(That’s not all, of course. By shearing carbon and oxygen atoms away from carbohydrates in decomposing barley, the yeast produces booze while shaking loose pockets of carbon dioxide that manifest as bubbles in a freshly cracked beer. When the yeast produces those bubbles inside dough, the result is bread’s delightfully airy texture. Other genera of yeast fashion hard liquor, chocolate, soy sauce and scores of life’s other routine gastronomic indulgences from otherwise questionably-edible ingredients.)
Most modern wine, beer and bread makers purchase Saccharomyces and pour the yeast directly into their concoctions. But wine, beer and bread emerged as staples long before anybody understood their microbiotic secrets — in various continents and countless cultures over at least the last 9,000 years. Many of these early vintners, brewers and bakers relied on nature to deposit the mystical ingredient into their potions.
Where did this yeast come from, if not from a packet? How could nature be so dependably relied upon to provide this ingredient, apparently from thin air?
Illustrated by Perry Shirley
The answer rests in fungi’s remarkable ability to flood the environment with its own microscopic spores and then to lay low, requiring little to no sustenance, until it settles on food that allows it to quickly flourish.
A team of French and Italian scientists reported in 2012 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that vineyard-visiting social wasps in Italy were found to be both vectors and natural reservoirs of S. cerevisiae. The group, which expects to publish follow-up research in the same journal shortly, concluded that the wasps served as a “key environmental niche for the evolution” of a yeast used for winemaking — a yeast that cannot spread through the air unaided.
The group found the yeast inside the guts and nests of wasps, suggesting that the insects inadvertently gather the yeast while foraging in vineyards for food. Hibernating queens provide the yeast with a warm and safe winter home, and then the progenies of the queens help deposit the fungus back onto grapes as the fruit comes into season.
“Our work suggests that wasps could move wine strains and maintain diversity, favoring crosses between strains involved in wine making and wild strains,” Duccio Cavalieri, a microbiology professor at the University of Florence who was involved with the research.

The unprecedented Black Saturday bushfires in the countryside surrounding Melbourne in 2009 left 1 million acres of Australian landscape charred. Squeaked mousey marsupial after losing its insect hunting grounds: “Yawn.”
Wildfire-adapted wildlife has to cope with more inferno-related threats than just the flames.
The scorched earth left behind by wildfire can be bereft of the plants and insects that are used for food by many small animals. As they move through the black landscape, these animals can lose their camouflage and succumb to predators.
To survive these tough times, some antechinuses — marsupial mice in Australia and New Guinea — amplify their siesta-style torpor, taking longer power naps every day.
That reduces their daily energy needs, allowing them to get by on less while the forest recovers around them.
“There’s a perception that bushfire affects animals through the direct effects of fire killing individuals,” said Australian National University researcher Sam Banks.
“Certainly, this happens,” Banks said. “But it seems to be the availability of crucial resources in the post-fire environment that determines whether animal populations persist.”
In 2009, Banks led a group of scientists that aimed to use the aftermath of the fires as a laboratory to investigate how two species of small marsupials survive and recolonize after bushfire.
The team found that agile antechinuses were more than twice as likely, compared with bush rats, to continue inhabiting a scorched habitat after a fire.
The antechinuses — which eat insects and, despite their outward resemblance, are not rodents — were 30 percent as likely to inhabit a burned patch of land compared with an unburned one. The bush rats (they are native rodents) were 12 percent as likely.
“It always seemed to me slightly unusual that such a small mammal with high energetic requirements would persist in burnt habitat with — presumably — reduced food availability,” Banks said.

New research suggests that the use of torpor could explain the antechinuses’ reluctance to flee post-fire landscapes.
“It’s interesting to see that they might have some physiological responses that would enable them to cope with tough periods,” Banks said, after reading the new paper, which was published in the journal OIKOS by a team of scientists from Australia’s University of New England.
“For antechinus, they shelter in hollow trees, all but the most decayed of which remain standing after fire,” Banks said. “I guess the torpor response helps them deal with the lack of food.”
The University of New England paper tracked brown antechinuses, which closely resemble agile antechinuses, in and near a 1,000-acre prescribed fire in a national park in southeastern Australia. The researchers focused on females, in which torpor is more pronounced.
One of the five females being studied in the burned area took shelter from the fire beneath rocks, where it was killed by the flames.
The other four took shelter in trees, where they survived. Before the fire, they had spent about half their time in states of torpor, in which metabolism slows down and energy is conserved. The same was also true for a control population studied.
After the fire, the four female survivors spent most of their time in torpor. The average power nap rose in length to an average of three to five hours — up from between one and three hours.
One female clocked up more than ten hours of nonstop torpor after the fire. That doubled the group’s pre-fire torpor record.
These marsupials are pulling a trick known as heterothermy.
A heterothermic mammal or bird can display the characteristics of a warm-blooded endotherm, churning through energy as it ferrets about for food and mates. But when it needs to slow its demand for energy, it can hibernate, or enter a briefer form of daily hibernation known as torpor, displaying characteristics of a cold-blooded ectotherm — such as a snake.
The list of heterotrophs is long — check out this table from a Current Biology article by University of New England professor Fritz Geiser. Geiser also led the antechinus torpor study published in OIKOS.
Current Biology
Some scientists have argued that heterothermy helped some mammals survive the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs.
As earth’s biosphere plunders into the anthropocene, and as greenhouse gas pollution drives longer and harsher wildfire seasons, these marsupials’ heterothermy may give them a fire-resistant evolutionary upper hand.
It is “likely,” Geiser wrote in his 2013 Current Biology essay, that “opportunistic heterotherms may be better equipped” than other species to cope with “anthropogenic influences such as habitat destruction, introduced species, novel pathogens and specifically global warming.”
That, he wrote, is because these animals have “highly flexible” energy needs, can limit foraging and avoid predators.

Eucalyptus trees are the scraggly kings of Australian landscapes, growing hard and fast, resilient to fire and sundry other stresses. After their crowned heads were plucked from native wildlands and thrust into monoculture plantations in continents far afield, though, pests began sucking the antipodean puissance out of the botanical emperors.
Cue scientific tinkling and hopes for a tiny-winged salvation.

Natural forests and other ecosystems are being cleared the world over to make space for Eucalyptus plantations. They sprawl over millions of acres, from the American Southeast to Africa to New Zealand.
The trees are largely being grown to be pulped for paper and, more recently, to be burned to produce energy. Sometimes they’re just planted along paths and roads and as forests because they’re easy to grow, and they look nice.
Amid this upheaval, a biological chink has been gouged from the trees’ armors of hitherto resilience. Across the globe, Eucalypts in plantations and neighborhoods alike are being attacked by tiny sap-sucking bugs.
The culprits are called bronze bugs — because their victims’ hues change from green to bronze as their leaves dry out. As the sap is sucked from the trees, their growth is crippled. The heaviest of attacks can leave the trees dead.

To protect hulking gum tree plantations from bronze bugs, scientists are starting to release even tinier critters. Their newest weapon is a species so small that it lays its eggs inside the eggs of the marauding pests, which hatch to feast on the meat of an egg that was laid for another, killing the unborn.
Eucalyptus trees, the bronze bugs that steal their sap, and the fairy wasps that hijack the bronze bugs’ eggs are all Australian natives. But until the turn of the century, few people had given the bronze bugs any thought. That’s when they started attacking trees in Sydney — possibly infesting tree species that had been transplanted outside their native ranges.
“There were very few records of it until it started outbreaking in Sydney in the early 2000s,” said Simon Lawson, a University of the Sunshine Coast entomologist who studies Eucalyptus pests.
From Sydney, the bronze bugs spread, hitchhiking with world trade to South America and South Africa, where the invasive populations made themselves at home amid their native prey. More recently, they’ve have been spreading through Europe and the Middle East. They’re also in New Zealand.

The bronze bug outbreaks have coincided with a substantial rise since the 1990s in the spread of exotic pests in general — and, more recently, with a rise in the spread of Eucalyptus pests.
“Just in the last ten to 15 years or so, there’s been a real increase in the number of Australian-origin Eucalyptus insects that have been moving around the world into Eucalyptus plantations,” Lawson said.
To try to relieve the problem, Lawson and other researchers across the planet are turning to the pests’ natural predators. The main predator tested in laboratories and dispatched in the wild so far has been Cleruchoides noackae. C. noackae are from a family of wasp and ant relatives called fairyflies — or fairy wasps. As the name suggests, the family includes some of the tiniest insects ever discovered.

Fairy wasps are often used as biological controls — as sentient insecticides. They’re all parasitoids. That’s similar to a parasite, but dialed to a different equilibrium: parasites generally let their hosts live; parasitoids do not.
Following quarantine and tests that convinced them C. noackae was safe for native bugs, Brazilian agriculture officials released swarms of them in the state of Minas Gerais in 2011. Two years later, field research found that about half the bronze bug eggs in local Eucalyptus plantations had been parasitized by the fairy wasps.
The results, which will be detailed in an upcoming scientific paper that’s still being finalized by Brazilian agriculture officials, are “quite a bit better than what we’ve seen in the native populations in Sydney that they’re derived from,” Lawson said.
Similar releases are planned or already underway in other South American countries and in South Africa.
Cracking the bronze bug problem, which was set off when Eucalypts were introduced to exotic environments, might mean doubling down on the number of species that are introduced to patch the problem over.
Ongoing research to identify alternative biological control agents, such as other species of fairy wasps, will also be critical for controlling the pests, Lawson said. “You’re better off having more than one agent.”

Q: How do you make a hybrid trout go wild?
A: You wait.
From a survival-of-the-fittest perspective, a domesticated animal is a poor facsimile of its wild relative. That’s why a salmon or a trout reared in a hatchery is less likely to survive in the ocean and return safely to its home river come spawning time.
When domesticated creatures are mixed with a population of wild ones, such as through fish-stocking programs, their domesticated genes, many of which are ill-suited to the idiosyncrasies of the new environment, can be passed on to the next wild-dwelling generation. The genetic contamination lingers so long in the newly hybridized population that wildlife management policies generally consider it to be permanent.
The good news for a hybrid-wearied world is that recent research suggests that a wild trout population’s newly-hybridized traits could be shed quickly — even if some of the hybrid DNA sticks around.
Ontario and Concordia University researchers reared brook trout from two hybridized populations and from one wild population in Ontario’s Algonquin Park. They also obtained trout from a nearby hatchery. The four populations were mixed equally in holding tanks, then released into three small, hitherto trout-free lakes in the North Shore region of Lake Huron.
The researchers sampled from the three lakes five months later, testing how well each of the strains had survived the rigors of the new environment. By then, most of the fish had died, which is normal after brook trout are planted
in Ontario waters. Mortality in one of the lakes was 96 percent. In the other two lakes: 80 percent. The scientists found that members of the hybrid and wild populations had similar chances of survival — and that they all fared better than their hatchery cousins.
One of the hybrid populations studied had last been contaminated with hatchery fish some five generations earlier. The other had been hybridized for 11 generations. The results, the scientists wrote in a paper published recently in Evolutionary Applications, “suggest that within five to eleven generations, selection can remove introduced foreign genes from wild populations.”
The findings are a reminder of the fast pace at which evolution is capable of working.
“Allowing natural selection to act for relatively few generations can produce hybridized populations that closely resemble nearby non-hybridized populations — both physically and ecologically,” said Concordia University’s Andrew Harbicht, one of the researchers behind the study.
“Certain genetic vestiges will persist into the future over the long term. But, generally, the hybrids will behave ecologically similarly to their wild predecessors after a fairly short time period,” Harbicht said.

Nearly 18 months into the worst marine epizootic that humanity has ever seen, scientists appear to have found the cause of death. A virus is being blamed for the mass die-off of starfish along North America’s western coastline. Sickened sea stars grow lethargic and their limbs start to curl. Next comes lesions and the shedding of limbs. The body deflates, then melts into puddles of slime and bone-like ossicles. More than a million starfish, coming from at least 20 species, have succumbed. Some local populations of the keystone predators, whose hunting prowess keep populations of plant grazers in check, have been decimated.
Hopes that the new diagnosis will usher forward a cure, however, are about as low as the deep-sea habitat of a brisingida.
Research described Sunday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences blames the heretofore mysterious deaths on a densovirus — a type of virus that typically plagues crabs, shrimp and other invertebrates. The scientists gave the pathogen the name ‘sea star-associated densovirus,’ or SSaDV.
The scientists discovered that loads of the densovirus were higher in sick starfish collected from the wild than in asymptomatic specimens. They also found that exposing lab starfish to the germ “consistently” induced the hallmark symptoms of sea-star wasting disease, while exposing specimens to heat-killed viruses remained healthy.
When the scientists turned their attention to ethanol-preserved sea stars collected as early as 1923, they discovered that the disease has been infecting starfish since at least 1942.
So why would it suddenly turn into such an ecosystem-rattling problem?
That’s just how viruses roll.
“This is the case for many viruses, including HIV and Ebola, which were present in populations since at least the 1930s but only became epidemics in the 1970s and 80s,” said Ian Hewson, an associate professor in Cornell University’s microbiology department, the leader of the recent research.
Perhaps the virus chanced upon a powerful genetic mutation. An improvement to the way it builds capsids, which are shells that protect viruses during their extracellular ventures, might explain its virulence boost.
Perhaps the manifest changes underway in the ocean, where pollution, carbon dioxide and heat are piling up, has weakened the victims’ natural defenses.
The scientists can’t say, yet, which of these factors is to blame. But they do note that large populations of starfish jammed into small habitats appear to be more vulnerable to outbreaks.
They point to a booming sunflower seastar population prior to the first large outbreak.
“We speculate that the current disease event has been exacerbated by an overpopulation of adult sea stars in the Salish Sea immediately prior to the current disease event,” Hewson said. “The Salish Sea was indeed the first population in which the disease was seen; it was noted in June 2013 on the Olympic coast. The first mass mortality occurred in the Vancouver region shortly thereafter.”
That suggests that preventing sea star populations from booming might help protect against future outbreaks. Given that it’s not clear why the Salish Sea population boomed, that’s a daunting task.
Assuming the scientists have accurately identified the cause of the wasting disease, how else could the discovery be used to squelch the current outbreak?
The answer to that question will not fill you with joy.

“Protecting sea stars in nature from an established pathogen, like the virus seen here, is almost impossible,” Hewson said.
Because the virus is so geographically widespread, Hewson said it would be unfeasible and impractical to remove and protect healthy sea stars. “Likewise, inoculating stars against the virus to build resistance would also not be feasible on a large scale,” he said.
Still, the benefits of finally finding the cause of the disease shouldn’t be understated. “The identification of the causative agent of sea star wasting disease enables accurate diagnosis and more effective management,” said University of Washington professor Carolyn Friedman, one of the new study’s coauthors.
For cheerier sea star times, let’s all tune out of reality for just a moment, and tune into the uninfected antics of Patrick — SpongeBob SquarePants’s friend .

If you could exchange the orgasmic gift of mammal-style intercourse for the messy ritual of dribbling fluids together, would you?
If you were the lineage of the world’s fish, then the latest evidence suggests that the answer to that unlikely conundrum would be, ‘Yes,’ to the great surprise of scientists documenting backbone-baring animals’ earliest known instances of internal fertilization.
We’re not talking about pudgy, panting penetration following happy hour pitchers. We’re talking rock-hard prehistoric fish, dermal claspers and paired dermal plates — locked, hundreds of millions of years ago, in ocean-floor embraces.
Bow guppy bow wow.
A new scientific study peers into the most intimate moments in the lives of fish of several closely related ancient fish genii — Microbrachius, Pterichthyodes and Bothriolepis. Each was an antiarch, which was a heavily-armored order of fish known as placoderms. Placoderms were early gnathostomes, an infraphylum also called boned vertebrates, which includes all the fish alive today. Gnathostomes started the branch on our evolutionary family tree that blossomed into lizards, birds and apes.
These long-dead fish were caught in the act of possessing the organs needed for sexual penetration. In a question over which came first, be it fish intercourse or external spawning, the answer would seem to be the former.
(The word antiarch means “opposite anus,” by the by, because a scientist once mistook a fossil’s mouth for its ass. And, while we’re at it, one of the species studied was M. dicki. Because somebody couldn’t help themselves.)
We’ve included a sketch of this primal love making below. Just make sure there are no underaged fish fossils in the room.
Adapted from a figure in Nature showing Microbrachius mating.
Is there anything cuter than fish that lock arms like that at a time like that? In real life, the width of that embracing scene would have been an adorable inch and a half.
We’re not sure if those are expressions of ecstasy — or the shocked looks that are to be expected when scientific method walks through the doors of ancient history during the most intimate of hypothesized moments. But we did confirm with Flinders University paleontology professor John Long that those big holes are where the eyes and nostrils would be. Because we didn’t want to get anything ass-backwards.
By now you might be wondering such things as, What does this have to do with me? If I took the right medicine, could I lead a life like that? And, How can I not think about this next time I’m bonking my boyfriend, or rolling in the hay at that haystack that my wife and I both like; won’t somebody please come and scoop the vision of adorable ancient randiness from my braincase? Aarrrggghhhhh.
We don’t know the answers to all your implied imaginary questions. What we do know comes from a study published Sunday in Nature by a large team of scientists led by Long.
The scientists analyzed fossils of the three genii that we mentioned earlier, and found in the males what they believe to be evidence of dermal claspers. They also found what they take to be the paired dermal plates of their female counterparts. Place those together and you’ve got yourself some internal fertilization, Velcro style.
The researchers write that the claspers found in these fossils resemble those of ptyctodonts, an order of placoderms that came after the unfortunately-named antiarchs. Those similarities, they wrote, suggest that “all placoderm claspers are homologous,” and that “internal fertilization characterized all placoderms.”
And they say that implies that spawning, which is so popular with the gnathostomes of today, must be an evolutionary adaptation that began with internal fertilization, even though such a transformation had been regarded as implausible.
“The complex physiology of fish that internally fertilize precludes a reversion back to spawning in water,” Long told us. “Yet our analysis shows it was the most likely explanation.”

A warming world means a melting cryosphere, which is bad news for species that have evolved to thrive on ice and in snow. Polar bears made depressing history in 2008 when they became the first species to be listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act solely because of threats from climate change. These sea ice-dwelling carnivores had appeared poised, until Tuesday, to be joined in their global warming-induced regulatory infamy by snow-burrowing wolverines.
Wolverines resemble small bears with bushy tails. They are also known as mountain devils, gluttons, caracajou, and skunk bears. They are the largest member of Mustelidae — a carniverous family of mammals that includes otters, badgers, weasels, and ferrets.
While polar bears are a highly visible species, wolverines are enchantingly difficult to spot. This is despite their inhabitation of a broad swath of the Arctic that includes northern portions of Europe, Asia, and North America. In North America, most the populations inhabit Canada and Alaska, although several hundred individuals are estimated to live in the contiguous U.S., mostly in the northern Rocky Mountains. These populations have recently been growing, yet fears over the future of snow in the Lower 48 had federal officials considering adding wolverines to the list of threatened species. On Tuesday, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ruled against the proposed wolverine listing.
Wolverines breed more slowly than most mammals, making them especially vulnerable to breeding disruptions. Once a female reaches the age of three, she normally becomes pregnant every year — but most pregnancies are strategically aborted. That’s because it can take two years or more for the wolverine to forage enough carrion, fruits, and berries, and to hunt enough small animals and insects, to build up the energy reserves needed to raise a litter.
Once she is ready to rear a litter, the female adopts a very specific denning strategy — one that will make it difficult for the species to survive in the parts of its territories where snow becomes history. The wolverines dig their dens in deep snow, forming living spaces around logs and rocks that include tunnels, runways, and bedsites. There has never been a record of a wolverine denning in anything other than excavated snow. And whenever such a cave starts to melt, the wolverine mother abandons it.
“We have determined that habitat loss due to increasing temperatures and reduced late spring snowpack due to climate change is likely to have a significant negative population-level impact on wolverine populations in the contiguous United States,” U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service officials wrote in the proposal to list those populations as threatened.
“In the future, wolverine habitat is likely to be reduced to the point that the wolverine in the contiguous United States is in danger of extinction.”
At least one senior FWS official had been pushing the agency to reject the proposal, arguing that it relies too much on “speculation” about the future effects of climate change. The agency announced on Tuesday that scientists know “too little about the ecology of the wolverine” to list it as threatened or endangered at this time. The ruling “does not close door on this issue,” one official said.
It was this focus on uncertainties that was already making scientists who served on a panel that advised the government on the proposal hot under the collar.
“Myself and the other climate scientists on the panel are disappointed that they’re focusing on the uncertainty, and appear to be ignoring the aspects of science that are much more certain,” said Tim Link, a hydrology professor at the University of Idaho.
Wolverines and polar bears certainly aren’t the only species that will feel the heat as global temperatures rise. Dozens of species of coral might be added to the endangered species list because of the combined effects of disease, warming ocean temperatures, and ocean acidification. Like global warming, ocean acidification is caused by carbon dioxide pollution, which is produced by fossil fuel burning and by deforestation.
“From the history of the Endangered Species Act, if you look at the 1,500-plus species that have been listed, the overwhelming majority have not been listed because of climate change,” said Mike Senator, an attorney with the Defenders of Wildlife, which had been pressuring the government to list wolverines under the Act.
“It’s been the loss of habitat and other threats — but that’s not entirely surprising, given that climate change has been recognized as a relatively recent issue. We certainly expect that we’ll see more species listed, at least in part, because of climate change.”
Climate and weather, Die-offs, Ecology blog, Oceans
July 10, 2014 John Upton
Our power plants and cars have pumped so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that the oceans are becoming more acidic. Something like a quarter of our carbon dioxide pollution dissolves into the seas, where it reacts with water:
CO2 (aq) + H2O H2CO3 HCO3− + H+ CO32− + 2 H+
Those leftover hydrogen ions at the right of the equation add up. The hydrogen ion concentration at the surface of the world’s oceans has increased by 26 percent since pre-industrial times, leading to a pH decline of 0.1. That might not sound like much, but it has been enough to kill off billions of farmed shellfish and punch holes in the shells of wild sea snails.
Shellfish and corals are especially vulnerable to ocean acidification because they rely on calcium carbonate to make their shells and skeletons. Ocean acidification increases concentrations of bicarbonate ions while decreasing concentrations of carbonate ions — and these animals need calcium carbonate to produce their protective body parts.
Fish, meanwhile, are thought to be suffering neurological effects of acidifying oceans, while vast mats of algae are expected to flourish.
The good news is that populations of animals naturally adapt to changes in their environments — and evolutionary changes to help some species cope with ocean acidification are already underway. The bad news is that changes in oceanic pH levels might be happening too quickly for animals to adapt, threatening scores of marine species with extinction.
I asked Ryan Kelly, an assistant professor at the University of Washington’s School of Marine and Environmental Affairs, and a coauthor of a recent BioScience paper about acidification that I wrote about for Pacific Standard, whether we could do anything to help species accelerate the rate with which they evolve needed adaptations.
“‘Accelerating’ species’ evolutionary adaptations to acidification would mean either tweaking the heritability of traits — and it’s unclear whether this is desirable, or how to do it; or increasing the strength of selection — which would mean making the selective impacts of acidification worse than they already are,” Kelly said. “So I’m thinking that, in an evolutionary sense, you don’t want to accelerate adaptation.”
Is there anything that we can do?
“What you do want to do, in order to protect marine ecosystems as we know them, is to preserve the adaptive capacity of the species that make up those ecosystems. That means preserving the genetic diversity that exists within those species, so that when the selective pressures of acidification happen, there will be some variability in those species’ responses. When there’s no genetic diversity, you get no variability in response to selective pressure, and natural selection and evolution doesn’t really work.”
Which means that we need to expand and improve the globe’s network of marine reserves, banning fishing in some places, and giving species the best possible shot of surviving the storm of acidity that’s building around them.
“From a conservation perspective, measures that preserve existing genetic diversity safeguard the adaptive capacity of species and ecosystems. This means working to maintain large population sizes and not fragmenting habitats, which are common conservation measures.”
As U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry led workshops last month dealing with ocean acidification and other ocean health issues, President Barack Obama’s administration proposed sweeping expansions of marine reserves surrounding remote Pacific Ocean atolls. The move would limit fishing for tuna and other species, helping to protect top predators that are critical for ecosystem health, while also protecting smaller species that are killed as bycatch.
“This is an important step in trying to maintain the health of this region and, as a result, the surrounding areas in the Pacific,” said Lance Morgan, president of Marine Conservation Institute. “It will give us more resilience into the future. We’ll have to replicate this and do more work in other areas as well, but it is an important step.”
Meanwhile, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is planning to expand the boundaries of Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, both of which lie off the West Coast, where strong upwelling leads to especially severe rates of ocean acidification. Meanwhile, Kiribati recently announced that it would close an area the size of California to fishing to help wildlife recover.
Ocean acidification is not a major consideration in the creation of marine reserves, but it’s a growing threat against which the reserves can help populations of wildlife evolve natural defenses.

Hunter Complex “Heat” LP pre-order
Now available for pre-order:
NM063: HUNTER COMPLEX – HEAT (LP)
FORMAT: LP (100 copies on transparent vinyl, 100 copies on black vinyl) / DIGITAL
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 6 2013
Heat is the new LP from Holland’s Hunter Complex, a record that looks to balance a functional (and very Dutch) ‘utility pop’ with a whole host of disturbing hints and suggestions. It’s a slightly unnerving listen, despite its attractive and powerful sweeps of melody. Recorded between 2010 and 2012, Heat manages – often very successfully – to persuade the listener that they’re tuning into a strange mix of Moroder’s film scores and ‘81-‘82 era Simple Minds. Digital synths, like the Roland D-50 and Yamaha DX7, give everything a suitably ‘period feel’. And the keys on Space are straight off Sons and Fascination, for example. Severed Heads covering China Crisis? Chris and Cosey making symphonic advert music in downtown LA? We can but dream.
But enough comparisons. Despite the LP wearing its sources of inspiration on its sleeve, and despite the fact that our descriptive narratives have (inevitably) to follow suit, it’s a seductive listen. Queasy, paranoid synth washes, rich, gloopy bass tones and weighty electronic stabs of rhythm drive the music on. The record’s got a feel of Stalker about it; cinematic, a taste of future-past served up on a plastic plate. Joep van Lieshout’s vision for communal living maybe, or a future that’s just out of reach, probably because it never escaped being imaginary.

Zoharum – new Hati and Zenial albums
Zoharum back after summertime
New titles out now:
HATI ‘zero coma zero | recycled magick emissions’
ZENIAL ‘Chimera’ LP
Amazing album of HATI available in two editions: stand and deluxe.
DETAILS | ORDER STANDARD | ORDER DELUXE | SAMPLE 1 | SAMPLE 2 (DELUXE)
The album was originally released on Nefryt on a CDR limited to 250 copies. Now it sees the light of the day again, with new cover, new master and additional tracks from “recycled magick emissions” MCDR (released on Nefryt sister label-Malachit.) Despite the years, the material gathered here is still sparkling with untamed energy of acoustic sounds. The musicians built their own sonic constructions and used exotic instruments in an intriguing way. “zero coma zero” is a study of dying, death and rebirth-the objects used on the recording were either archaic ethnic instruments or they were found in the junkyard.
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of HATI’s live work, together with the project, Zoharum has prepared a “deluxe” edition of the “zero coma zero” album. It is presented in a wooden boxset and contains:
“zero coma zero” digipak release, “zero coma zero +” cassette, “music for metal idiophones / genius loci” cassette, “works for scrap metal” CDR, “02/03/07 Teatr Groteska” CDR, 4 postcards, a sticker, a pin,
a personalized certificate signed by the musicians
This boxset, which is strictly limited to only 65 copies worldwide, 45 of which are available commercially through alchembria.pl, is a summary of the early years of HATI (2003-2006.)
Only 45 copies are available for sale Offer available only at alchembria.pl
Zoharum presents its second vinyl release. This time it’s a full-length album by ZENIAL
DETAILS | ORDER | SAMPLE | VIDEO
Zoharum presents its second vinyl release. This time it’s a full-length album by Łukasz Szałankiewicz aka ZENIAL who returns to the label after two acclaimed releases (a solo album “Connection Reset by Peer” and a live album “There’s No Other God than Rambo!” by AABZU, a duo with Maciek Szymczuk.)
“Chimera” is 40-minutes of music that will appeal to fans of academic electronics as well as its contemporary genres followers.
What is more, 4 out of 5 compositions were created during Łukasz Szałankiewicz residency in prestigious EMS studio, which is a Stockholm counterpart of the legendary Polish Radio Experimental Studio.
The album was mastered by Marcin Bociński (Legato Recording).
The cover is graced by paintings of Wiktor Jackowski, one of the most interesting contemporary
painters of a younger generation, who is also the author of cover design.
The album is strictly limited to 200 copies.

The history of KVK Wellen began in 1961 when the merger of Eendracht Wellen and Sparta Wellen to Wellense SK took place. In 1971 the new team reached the Limburg First Provincial Division and remained there for over a decade.
In 1985, the yellow-Blues became champion and they went up to the Fourth National Division where they would play until 1998. The Bosman ruling and financial problems would eventually become to much for the team and at the end of the 97-98 season Wellense SK merged with VV Wellen from the First Provincial Division. This team was founded in 1970 and had moved up through the Provincial Divisions but had reached the limitations of the club. The newly merged club was christened KVK Wellen and would use the site and the Matricule of Wellense SK. The red of VV Wellen was added to the yellow and blue of Wellense SK.
KVK Wellen was promoted to the Fourth National Division again in 2002 but relegated after just one season. In 2014 they became champions once again and currently they play in the 3rd National Amateur Division.

Public Health and Plain Packaging of Cigarettes - Legal Issues
Cread 21:38 Books
What would public controversy be without a tell-all book but Public Health and Plain Packaging of Cigarettes: Legal Issues does not really fit into that category.
As the government and heath campaigners celebrate their victory in the courts and tobacco companies consider the greener grass of Africa and India, you can lose yourself in the intricacies of the issue.
‘This book provides a definitive account of Australia’s pioneering public health legislation on the plain packaging of tobacco products. The regime was designed to implement the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and address the impacts of “the tobacco epidemic”," says Matthew Rimmer of The Australian National University College of Law.
Interestingly, the book is not published by Melbourne University Publishing despite that institution's connection with the issue. It was picked up by British publisher Edward Elgar Publishing, perhaps an indication of where the next legal tussle over tobacco plain packaging may occur.
They must be pleased that one of the book's editors, Andrew Mitchell, was a prominent interviewee on the 7.30pm Report tonight and no doubt he will continue to be sought-after talent as the issue mushrooms.
Public Health and Plain Packaging of Cigarettes: Legal Issues - edited by Tania Voon, Andrew D. Mitchell, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne, Australia and Jonathan Liberman, Director, McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer. 288 pp Hardback, August 2012. Retail between $109 and $191.

Introducing Snow White
Imagine you could have an enchanted, big mirror to ask it questions. Not the type of mirrors you probably saw in Harry Potter movies, which show you what your secret desires are, but a true, enchanted mirror who you can talk with. Fancy yourself standing in front of that mirror. What kinds questions would you ask? If the mirror can give you only the true answer, what would you dare to ask? Now, an Evil Queen once had such a mirror. In her remote palace she lived there with her stepdaughter who did all the job around the castle. And the Evil Queen asked the mirror who was the fairest in the land, but every time she would ask that, the never lying mirror would answer: `Snow White, Snow White is the fairest in the land`. Now if you are familiar with this story, then you won`t be surprised with what hatred the Evil Queen treated her step daughter. The truth is, her step daughter was a real beauty and everyone called her Snow White. Those of you who have watched Disney`s movie about Snow White will surely agree with that. With her lips as red as a rose and her skin white as snow, you can`t help yourself falling in love with her. Disney movies, which are usually positive and cheerful, may sometimes turn into something much alike horror movies. And this may happen with games also. Thus, you can`t cower in fear when the Evil Queen sends her Huntsman to kill beautiful Snow White and back her heart. But since Disney is a world of no violence and also a magical world, the seemingly scary and dangerous Huntsman is revealed to be a friendly folk. He can raise his sword towards Snow White and he spares her life. The true adventure, however, begins when Snow White ran into the woods and stumbles upon a little house where the Seven Dwarfs live. Since Snow White wants to be fair with everyone, she tends to show kindness to all of the people she meets on her adventure. Like many other Disney princesses, she has a lot of animal friends. Rabbits, squirrels, skunks – everyone is her friend. The Seven Dwarfs she meets in the woods protect her. She does the cleaning around their house, since they work in a nearby mine during the day. You will meet different characters on your way through Snow White`s world – as different as the colors of the rainbow. Thus, Doc would always argue with Grumpy, Sneezy would be, as you may have already guessed, sneezing all the times and the rest of the Dwarfs would have to cover his nose. And though Snow White is good at making beds, the little Sleepy would always seem weary and he would be eager to go to bed. Even at his working place, deep within the mines, Sleepy would find a way to get a nap. So, prepare to meet all the characters of this enchanted, yet sometimes quite perilous world!
There are currently 10 free online Snow White games on our website. You can play the games on your computer or laptop, using any browser. Some of the games are also available for your tablets or Android and iOS phones. The most popular game is Snow White Horse Riding, which has been played 1732 times so far, and the most rated one is Snow White Makeup, with 46 votes received. These Snow White games received an aggregate rating of 82 / 100 from a total of 406 votes.

Home News Telegram leaves millions of users out of service throughout Europe
Telegram leaves millions of users out of service throughout Europe
April 29, 2018 News,
WhatsApp happens to be the instant messaging application with the largest number of users worldwide, closely followed by Telegram , which many believe offers a better service and has better features than the application owned by Facebook. However, once again, in the last few hours it has left its many users without service , as happened last March.
Since Saturday night Telegram does not work in Europe , according to the official version due to "excessive heating" in part of one of its servers. " At this time of today Sunday the incident is still not resolved and it is impossible to use the instant messaging application.
"This could cause connection problems to some users in Europe for a couple of hours. We are sorry for the inconveniences. We are working to solve it ">
For the moment and despite the fact that the managers of Telegram announced that the problem would be solved in a couple of hours, the service still does not work , returning the following message when it comes to access as in our case from its web version;
An excessive heating in part of one of the Telegram servers could cause connection problems to some users in Europe for a couple of hours. We are sorry for the inconveniences. We are working to solve it.
- Telegram in Spanish (@telegram_es) April 29, 2018
Recall that Telegram already suffered a fall last March, which left without service for a short period of time to all users in Europe, the Middle East and part of Russia , one of the countries where application is most popular. On that occasion the problem was due to a power failure in a company data center.
We hope that Telegram will offer service again in a normal way very soon , but without a doubt all these problems suppose an important setback in the fight that maintains with WhatsApp to become the best instant messaging application.
Do you think that Telegram will solve its increasingly normal drops in service?

Introducing TWiki Markup Syntax Highlighting in gedit
I spend a lot of time at work editing wiki pages in a TWiki wiki. TWiki has you editing pages in a HTML textarea or a web based WYSIWYG editor, so I long ago started using the It's All Text! Firefox Add-on to edit wiki pages using gedit, the official GNOME text editor (Note that I run Ubuntu 10.04 as my work desktop). That was good, but I found myself wishing for syntax highlighting, and there wasn't anything suitable available. I decided to write a GtkSourceView Language Definition to enable syntax highlighting of TWiki markup in gedit, and I am pleased to announce that it is now ready for use.
The code (just a single file, twiki.lang) is open source (GPL, like gedit) and is hosted in a GitHub repository: https://github.com/darryllawson/gedit-twiki. The README available at that link has installation instructions and information on configuring the It's All Text! Firefox Add-on for use with gedit.
You might be wondering why TWiki syntax highlighting is useful? Here are a few reasons:
By highlighting headings, document navigation is easier.
By highlighting markup elements, it's easier to visualise formatting and detect syntax errors. For example, you'll know when you accidentally typed four spaces instead of the requisite three.
By highlighting wiki words, you'll know straight away if you have typed a valid one, and it'll also be obvious when you need to escape one.
Hopefully someone else finds this useful!

Delphix Expands Agile Data Platform to Support Oracle Exadata
Delphix has introduced the latest release of its database virtualization software for agile data management, which adds new support for Oracle Exadata, and also extends support for legacy versions of Oracle databases to support customers who want to upgrade and migrate from old to new.
"Essentially, the way you can think of us is as that we do for databases what VMware did for servers, which is we replace all the redundant hardware with intelligent software and when you do that, we can eliminate the vast majority of the delays, and approvals, and processes that bog down app dev and database provisioning in big companies," Rick Caccia, Delphix vice president of marketing, tells 5 Minute Briefing. As a result, he says, customers get more application work done, decrease costs, and cut risk from application outage and downtime by virtualizing the data and being able to roll back whatever application errors hit the database.
Delphix 2.7 extends the company's support for Oracle products in three ways - two around Exadata and one around Oracle Database v9, says Caccia. First, according to the company, Delphix 2.7 can migrate virtual databases to Exadata, helping customers move data from multiple sources into Exadata, reducing the time required to get Exadata working in production. In addition, once the data has been loaded into Exadata machines, Caccia says, Delphix can virtualize the databases on Exadata and make those available to a broader set of users than would typically connect to them. Delphix 2.7 can now sync with Exadata as a data source, enabling data backup, disaster recovery, and data distribution for development, testing, or data marts, while integrating with traditional backup solutions for tape archival. "We make it easier to put data on Exadata and then once it is there, we make it easier to share data with a broader set of users in the company," says Caccia. "We have lots of Oracle customers who have older Oracle databases and they want to get those databases onto Exadata and take advantage of the scale and so they are just using us to get around the risk of the loading process and using us to get around the cost of some of the broader distribution. It is a way to complement the benefits of Exadata with database virtualization."
Delphix also adds new virtualization support for Oracle v9. "We already supported Oracle 10 and 11. Oracle 9 came out 11 years ago and we have a lot of customers with it and they want to migrate that into their Exadata boxes or into the cloud, and they want to virtualize them because once you virtualize them they are very easy to move around."
According to Delphix, unlike server virtualization products, its technology eliminates the storage expansion driven by production databases and the seven to 10 supporting copies created in most organizations, relieving budget pressures driven by big data. Ten copies of a 30TB data warehouse would result in 300TB of storage consumption on physical infrastructure but as little as 20TB on Delphix, it says. This is significant, Delphix contends, because as relational databases incorporate big data components like MapReduce into their engines, more and more of the big data footprint will fall into relational databases, data warehouses, and their supporting copies, which Delphix can streamline and consolidate.

The Barbie Effect
With anorexia and other eating disorders threatening more lives every year, researchers are exploring the effect that viewing pictures has on body image, since a flawed perception of the way we look is a primary cause of disordered eating. Research reveals that girls as young as five become concerned about their weight after viewing images of figures with unrealistic, thin bodies. The first study of its kind had children look at Barbie dolls to discover the impact of cultural ideals relating to weight on the very young.
Damaged Body Image
More than 100 girls aged between 5 and 7 looked at books while being read a story about shopping and dressing for a birthday party. Some of the books showed images of Barbie dolls, while others showed pictures lacking depictions of people. It was found that girls who were exposed to the Barbie pictures reported less body esteem and a greater desire to be thin. Researchers concluded that early exposure to unrealistic pictures of too thin body shapes may damage a girl's body image. This, in turn, leads to the increased risk of eating disorders with cycles of weight gain and loss.
The Pressure to be Thin Starts Young
The study was headed up by Dr Emma Halliwell of the University of the West of England, along with Dr Helga Dittmar and Suzie Ives at Sussex University. Dr. Halliwell said that it was clear that the pressure to be thin starts younger than we had supposed. "We found that when the children were exposed to these images of Barbie, they reported more negative attitudes about their appearance," said Halliwell, a lecturer based at the university's Centre for Appearance Research. "Quite strikingly, when they were looking at the control images (the neural pictures) there wasn't a difference between the way they thought they looked and the way they wanted to look."
But, concluded Halliwell, after the children viewed the Barbie pictures, they wanted to be slimmer, making it apparent that the ideal body shape no longer bears any relationship to what doctors consider healthy. The fact is that were an average woman to mirror the proportions of a Barbie doll, she would need to grow 17 inches in height and have a body shape found in less than one in 100,000 women. At the same time, there is a documented trend of using thinner models in advertisements, with the average model about 20% underweight.
When one takes into the account the increase in publications aimed at teens and even preteens, these facts have frightening implications.

Renewed acquaintances: Australia and Russia
Luke Fraser
The relationship between Australia and Russia is over 200 years old. It began with great promise, but relations cooled following the Russian Revolution. The financial crisis presents an opportunity for both countries to look to each other with optimism once again.
Should Australia court the Russian bear?
Throughout the 19th century, Russians developed a keen interest in Australia, describing it as a 'working man's paradise' and a 'key trading partner for the future'. This forgotten relationship has potential for building a shared future.

U-Haul truck goes airborne, crashes in east Atlanta neighborhood
By Marissa Mitchell, FOX 5 News
Video Posted Jan 30 2019 01:26AM EST
Updated Jan 30 2019 06:26AM EST
ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Police are investigating after a U-Haul truck went airborne before crashing inside an east Atlanta neighborhood.
The incident happened Tuesday around 6 a.m. at Walthall and Hardee Streets.
Pat Woowong captured home surveillance camera footage the incident that ended after a police chase.
"I thought it was an explosion or something," Woowong said. "...It was like something from ‘The Dukes of Hazzard.’"
Atlanta Police told FOX 5 they helped work the wreck scene but the case is being handled by DeKalb County Police. That agency hasn't responded yet to FOX 5's request for details by Wednesday morning. However, people living near the scene say officers told them a man was arrested after crashing the stolen vehicle.
Crews repaired a fence that was mangled following the incident. No one was hurt and no other property was damaged during the incident.
Atlanta Police said the shooting around 6 p.m. Monday at the Edgewood Court Apartments located in the 1500 block of Hardee Street NE. Police said the victim flagged down the FedEx driver who made the special 4-mile delivery to Grady Memorial Hospital's emergency room.
“ Late this afternoon the Sheraton Atlanta voluntarily decided to temporarily close until the source of the Legionella is located and remediation is complete. Questions about their decision to close and relocation of guests should be directed to the Sheraton Atlanta. ”
