Azad Kashmir signs deal for internet facility in schools
MIRPUR (AJK) - Under the spirit to provide swift internet facility in 50 public sector schools of Azad Jammu and Kashmir beside conducting internet workshops in the educational institutions in the state, the AJK government formally signed an agreement with a private sector cellular company operating in Pakistan and AJK, it was officially announced.
An AJK government spokesman said that the agreement was signed between the two parties at Kashmir House. AJK Prime Minister Chaudry Abdul Majeed, on the occasion, stated that Information Technology (I.T) has got a significant role to play in global village. “Acquaintance with the modern mechanism and its proper utilization is the only way forward to cope with the challenges of the time,” he declared.
He resolved that his government is determined to make AJK an educational place by devising a uniform curriculum across the state. “We are well aware of the importance of Information Technology and putting an all-out effort to promote IT education and computer literacy as we are going to establish an IT University in AJK, providing computer labs to all the educational institutions and providing them modern equipments,” he observed. The AJK premier revealed that one third of the educational budget was being spent on computer education.
“The PPP Government in AJK has established three medical colleges, an IT University, Cadet colleges, another public sector university at Rawalakot, Women university, upgraded the educational institution and following the precedent of Al-Azhar University, we are going to establish modern Islamic university,” Majeed maintained.
Earlier the formal agreement was signed by the Secretary Education Muhammad Sadiq Dar and Representative of the cell company Aamir Izharul-Haq, the spokesman said.

Climate Test for Forests
By Alvin Powell, Harvard Staff Writer
Harvard scientists are taking a hard look at northeastern forests for evidence of a potential springtime scramble, one that could be triggered if age-old growth cues are disrupted by climate change.
Researchers in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and the Arnold Arboretum are examining whether the earlier arrival of warm weather will clash with genetic programming tuned to lengthening days and the duration and depth of winter cold.
Researchers gathered hundreds of cuttings from 28 different species in Massachusetts and Quebec and grew them under an array of controlled conditions in Arnold Arboretum growth chambers, tracking how each responded to varying levels of temperature and light.
The most surprising early results are that species that had strong responses to light cues — about half of those tested — were generally the same ones with strong responses to temperature, said Elizabeth Wolkovich, an assistant professor of organismic and evolutionary biology. This could create a conflict if those species were to leaf out earlier as the weather warms, and then reach a point when the days are too short to advance further.
“Are things going to keep going? Is this a linear trend?” said Wolkovich. “Will spring just keep getting three weeks earlier every three decades? Or will there be a point where we will really have messed up the biology of these systems and the plants won’t be able to track with climate change because there’s this photo-period limit?”
Correctly timing spring growth is critical to a plant. Leafing out first means being first to the nutrients in the ground, first to spread a canopy that not only gathers sunlight but also shades competitors. But starting too early in the season — during a warm snap when the days are still short and winter has weeks to run — exposes tender leaf buds to frost, forcing a tree to re-leaf and putting it behind competitors.
In preliminary results, cherry, birch, beech, honeysuckle, and blueberry were all sensitive to temperature cues, Wolkovich said. That means that as the climate warms, those plants will likely begin their spring growth earlier, while others less sensitive to temperature will remain on the same schedule. Blueberry and cherry also showed strong photoperiod limits, meaning there may be a limit to how early they will grow. If climate change pushes spring earlier than the limit, blueberry and cherry could end up out of step.
“The preliminary results suggest that for some classic northeast species, they will keep advancing for a long time and then we don’t know what will happen, they might just stop advancing and be static,” Wolkovich said. “What I think is more likely, based on data from other labs, is their cues will get messed up and they might come out at the wrong time the following year or they might be screwed up for several years to come.”
In the best case, Wolkovich said, ecosystems will stay roughly intact, though they’ll likely shift in time and space, growing earlier in the spring and expanding or contracting ranges. In the worst case, Wolkovich said, important species such as oak, maple, and beech won’t track the changing climate and leaf out late, failing to set seed and suffering major declines.
“Which species will move in and replace these species?” Wolkovich said. “No matter what happens, the northeastern forest that you have today will not be the one your great-grandchildren will have.”
Another key question, Wolkovich said, involves whether individual tree species contain populations sensitive to local conditions — whether oaks in southern Massachusetts, for example, are genetically tuned to warmer conditions and different day lengths than those in northern New Hampshire. If that is the case, it might restrict their ability to respond to rapidly changing climate.
The work, conducted as a pilot study, is being expanded to two more sites and will seek more refined data on the cues by which species awaken in winter, Wolkovich said.

Satellite-AIS-based map of global ship traffic
Title Satellite-AIS-based map of global ship traffic
Copyright LuxSpace
Map of global ship traffic based on AIS signals detected from orbit. Commercial vessels are mandated to transmit Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals, which are used to track maritime traffic – the oceangoing equivalent of air traffic control. The system relies on VHF radio signals with a horizontal range of just 40 nautical miles (74 km), useful within coastal zones and on a ship-to-ship basis, but leaving open ocean traffic largely uncovered. However, in 2010 ESA fitted an experimental antenna to Europe’s Columbus module of the International Space Station, demonstrating for the first time that AIS signals could also be detected from up in orbit, opening up the prospect of global ship tracking from space.

Gebrselassie 37, out of Tokyo marathon
World record holder Haile Gebrselassie has pulled out of this weekend's Tokyo marathon because of knee injuries, organisers said Thursday. The 37-year-old Ethiopian, who recorded a fastest ever time of 2:03:59 when he won the 2008 Berlin marathon, hurt both knees in a fall during practice. Gebrselassie announced his retirement from the sport in November last year, only to reverse the decision days later. He has said a knee injury and his failure to finish the New York marathon earlier in the month were the reasons for his unexpected -- and short-lived -- retirement. Sunday's Tokyo marathon would have been his first race since the New York outing. Big names from the world of marathon running set to compete this weekend include Felix Limo of Kenya, who set his personal best of 2:06:14 winning the 2004 Rotterdam marathon, and Yemane Tsegay of Ethiopia, whose personal best of 2:06:30 was only enough to bag a fourth place in the 2009 Paris marathon. Kenya's Paul Biwott and Salim Kipsang are also expected to pose a threat with their best times of 2:07:02 and 2:07:29, respectively, while Ethiopia's Hailu Mekonnen has a best time of 2:07:37. Other major athletes will be Tadesse Abraham of Eritrea and last year's Hokkaido marathon winner Cyrus Gichobi Njui of Kenya, while representing Japanese hopes will be Masakazu Fujiwara, Arata Fujiwara and Satoshi Irifune.

Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers
In the early Super8 Sound years, DTV Group members regularly attended SMPTE Technical Conferences, National Association of Broadcasters shows, Consumer Electronics shows and, when computers became digital video non-linear editors, the Comdex shows.
Bob Doyle was invited in 1974 to become a full member of the SMPTE sound engineering committee. He drafted a standard for the new one-pulse-per-frame sync and track locations on sprocketed super 8 fullcoat magnetic film.
Super8 Sound's booth at the 1977 SMPTE Technical Conference was staffed by Julie Mamolen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
President Bob Doyle was visited by filmmaker Lenny Lipton, who had just completed his "Super 8 Book," and Mark Mikolas and Gunther Hoos, authors of the "Handbook of Super 8 Production."
The Super8 Sound booth featured the Kodak Videoplayer VP-1, the only one at the conference.
In the later NewMedia Lab years, national conferences were usually limited to NAB and Comdex. But DTV Group became very active in the New England section of SMPTE.

Pieter Timmers swims his way to silver
by Lisa Bradshaw, editor-in-chief, Flanders Today
Recent articles: Flanders takes up European Prison Dance Challenge, Ghent in Motion film turns into immersive attraction, Google Home recording private conversations, finds VRT
Team Belgium has won its third medal at the Rio Olympics with a rock-star 100m freestyle performance from Pieter Timmers
Record-breaking
Flemish swimmer Pieter Timmers has won the silver medal in the 100m freestyle at the Rio Olympics, with a time of 47.80, breaking his Belgian record. He is the first Belgian to win an Olympic medal in swimming since 1996.
It was a remarkable performance from Timmers, 28, who failed to make the finals in the event in 2012. Belgium has had few Olympic swimmers who have competed in the 100m freestyle – an historically favoured event in swimming competition – though Flemish swimmer Fred Deburghgraeve won gold in 1996.
Timmers is a seven-time Belgian champion and holder of several records in long and short course freestyle, but his performance still surprised him. “I knew that I had a bit of a chance to medal, and today everything came together,” he told Sporza after the race. “But I couldn’t quite believe it when I saw that ‘2’ next to my name.”
Australian Kyle Chalmers won the 100m gold with a time of 47.58, while American Nathan Adrian took bronze with 47.85.
This is Belgium’s third medal in this Olympic Games, with Greg Van Avermaet winning gold in road race and Dirk Van Tichelt bronze in judo.

Reflections of expatriate life in Japan
Here is a place for expatriates in Japan.
As expatriates, we are one family. We moved out of the comfort of our motherland and now struggling to survive with a new culture, new environment, new people and new climate. Our motive to move to Japan may be different. We might have moved to Japan for work, or career, or adventure, or study, or for all of these things. Though from different countries we are on the same path in this journey; to make a comfort living in Japan.
We have left our beloveds, our land, our cultures, traditions, and everything we have ever known, and now struggling to make our own identity in Japan.
In this new land, everything seems new. At first, for most of us we didn’t know where to turn to, to whom we can approach……….perplexed at times we struggled to get the life move…… Expatriate Japan is committed to bring comfort and difference to your living in Japan.

10 Years Of Investigative Journalism In The Arab World
Opinion 04/12/2015 - No comments
With a hidden camera, female Tunisian investigative journalist Hanene Zbiss, working with support from Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ), went undercover for three months to reveal how unregulated Qur’anic kindergartens were advocating a very conservative form of religious education for children, using different means of brainwashing. Her story received huge public attention.
The Tunisian government promised to crack down on these kindergartens, closing down around 100 of them after the publication of the investigation.
ARIJ this year celebrates its 10th anniversary as the region’s leading investigative journalism organisation.
Hanene Zbiss’ story is one of more than 300 investigations broadcast or published by brave Arab journalists working with support from ARIJ that have led to important changes in Arab societies. Today the organisation celebrates having held many wrongdoers to account.
“It is our responsibility to act as the watchdogs of Arab societies,” says Rana Sabbagh, ARIJ Executive Director.
“Every story we have produced has led to some change. Sometimes it was on the spot and sometimes it took time. It shows journalists as well as readers and officials that serious journalism makes authorities think twice.”
The right to question
Rana Sabbagh describes the development of the media sector in the Arab world as slow.
“Most chief editors in the Arab world are there to serve the agenda of those who are paying the wages, be it private publishers or the governments. Whoever pays the bills gets to decide what should be said keeping in mind that the notion of public service media is not yet there in the region.”
She emphasises the importance of professional education and critical thinking, which she says has not been on the agenda of most Arab leaders.
“… because once you have critical thinkers, they will start to question the policies and actions of their leaders.”
“A general opinion is that if you criticise, you have an agenda to destabilise your country. Most people do not accept that it is our right as tax-payers to ask questions. It is our right to demand change and to hold officials accountable to their promises. Often, people will take the easier way out instead, which is to be in bed with authorities.”
At the same time, she believes that a part of the conservative society is afraid of change.
“Some people say that it is better to be under the devil that we know, than to be under a new devil that we do not know. Sometimes the new devil is even worse.”
The ARIJ movement
ARIJ started out with print production in three countries ten years ago: Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Today the organization operates in nine Arab countries.
“In the beginning it was just a few workshops with a few journalists here and there. Looking back, some of the success we have achieved was unexpected,” says Rana Sabbagh.
“We assumed that the level of professional skills would be very basic. But we realised that it is easy to develop the right skills as long as you have the right teachers and mentors, combined with the journalists’ desires to improve themselves.”
When ARIJ started, social media was nearly non-existent and most broadcasters were state-run. “We were at a point where society was yearning to know more about the truth,” she states. Today, social media is serving as an alternative to mainstream media.
Rana Sabbagh describes ARIJ as a movement that has developed over the years.
“There was hardly any journalist willing to rock the boat when we started. Today, most of the 1600 journalists that we have trained on 115 workshops believe that their job to rock the boat using facts and evidence to document the trust and to serve the public. We are not there to please the authorities. We are there both to criticise and to also recognise the positives.”
She believes it will take a long time before the overall society starts believing in freedom of expression and “to believe in the right to offend and to be offended.”
“What has not changed since the start-up of ARIJ is the deep-state structures that are supporting most Arab regimes,” she says.
“It’s not enough to just change heads of state if there is no alternative business plan that the majority of citizens can buy into and if the bureaucracy and the entrenched security structures do not recognise the importance of change and of learning from past mistakes.”
ARIJ’s success stories give the organisation several reasons to celebrate this year.
“In Jordan, they are currently changing a law that allowed a rapist to marry his victim. We did a story on this some time ago.”
In April 2015, the government said it was working with officials from concerned state institutions and NGOs to amend much of the Penal Code Law, including article 308 that has so far allowed rapists to marry their victims to get out of court procedures.
At the same time, Rana Sabbagh does see certain obstacles for investigative journalism.
“I think investigative journalism will never become mainstream media – it is too costly and too demanding. But if you have 10 good investigations every year that force authorities to change something to the better, then I would call that a success.”
ARIJ is supported by International Media Support through the Danish-Arab Partnership Programme, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Open Society Foundations (OSF).

Model prevails on a trademark dispute.
November 30, 2011 In Blog, Entertainment, Trademark By Emily Wolf
The dispute was between two models using the same stage name, “Elizabeth Sky.” The defendant allegedly went on a campaign on the Internet that tried to destroy the other model’s social networking presence. Interestingly, the court awarded damages to the plaintiff because of harm caused by various websites and social networks that removed the plaintiff’s information “for fear of being sued.” According to Venkat Balasubramani at Technology & Marketing Law Blog, it is very rare for a plaintiff to get damages in such a situation. But in this case, the litigation seemed to work since the defendant didn’t even show up and the real Elizabeth Sky got paid.

Prince William County man found guilty of killing wife, police officer in capital murder case
Posted Sep 26 2018 04:32PM EDT
Video Posted Sep 26 2018 08:35PM EDT
Updated Sep 26 2018 08:37PM EDT
Ronald Hamilton
Officer Ashley Guindon
MANASSAS, Va. - A former Army staff sergeant charged with killing his wife and a Prince William County police officer has been found guilty on all charges at his capital murder trial.
The verdict now means that 34-year-old Ronald Hamilton could face the death penalty.
Authorities say on Feb. 27, 2016, Hamilton fatally shot his wife, Crystal, and 28-year-old Ashley Guindon, a Prince William County police officer who responded to the scene after Hamilton’s wife called 911 for a domestic dispute. It was Guindon's first day on the job.
Two other officers, Jesse Hempen and David McKeown, were wounded, but survived.
Prior to the start of the trial, Hamilton’s lawyers said their client was willing to plead guilty to the killings if capital murder was taken off the table. The Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office decided to move forward with three capital murder charges and 14 other counts related to the incident.
During two weeks of testimony, jurors heard evidence that Crystal Hamilton called 911 after her husband struck her and slammed her to the floor. Jurors heard the 911 call which ended with Crystal Hamilton pleading, "Stop!" Prosecutors say Ronald Hamilton shot his wife four times with a Glock handgun.
Several officers responded to the 911 call. The officers tried to enter the house to check on Crystal Hamilton's welfare, but Ronald Hamilton refused to let them in. One of the officers then kicked open the front door, only to find Hamilton crouched with an AK-47 rifle opening fire. All three officers who initially responded to the home were struck, including Guindon, who had just been sworn in as an officer. Hempen and McKeown, who testified at the trial, survived but suffered serious injuries.
Gene Hart, one of Hamilton's public defenders, acknowledged to the jury during Tuesday's closing arguments that Hamilton is guilty of the slayings. But he argued that the killings lacked the premeditation necessary for a capital-murder conviction and possible death penalty. Instead, he urged the jury to convict on lesser charges of either second-degree murder or voluntary manslaughter, saying Hamilton was acting in the heat of passion.
Before Hamilton's trial began, Judge Steven S. Smith ruled in a pre-trial hearing that the jury could not hear expert opinion on the victim’s cause of death. The ruling came after the prosecution missed a 60-day deadline to provide witness information to the defense. Smith’s ruling meant a medical examiner could not give the jury the cause of death. DNA evidence, which relies on interpretation by forensic scientists, was also inadmissible in the case.

Harlots – Coming Soon!
By Trystan L. Bass on January 10, 2017 in Eighteenth Century
As I was updating our list of upcoming historical costume movies and TV series for the new year, I noticed a show called Harlots, described as “Brothel owner, Margaret Wells, struggles to raise her daughters in London during the 18th century.” Now doesn’t that sound fun? But looking on IMDB, the source of all truth, I couldn’t find any photos and very little news aside from the premiere date — March 29, 2017, on Hulu (note to self: get Hulu). Also, I saw that the costume designer was Edward K. Gibbon, and his resume includes the awful, prom-dress-infested 2016 War & Peace. Dammit, I needed pictures, I needed to see if this “Harlots” show was going to suck.
TO THE INTERWEBS!
One of the great things about the 21st century is that everyone has a cameraphone in their pocket. That includes 20-something actors, makeup artists, set designers, and people-on-the-street who happen to be near historical costume series filming in the neighborhood. So they all snap pix and post them on Twitter and Instagram. This probably drives directors nuts because it’s spoiler-riffic and great for the paparazzi. It’s also great for Frock Flicks.
After a couple hours of Internet stalking sleuthing, I was relieved to see that Harlots, produced by Hulu and British channel ITV, looks to be using pretty decent 18th-century costumes, wigs, and makeup, plus period settings and accoutrements. Sure, it could still suck in a million ways, and they could screw up how the costumes are worn, but these behind-the-scenes images seem to indicate that the production team is giving it a better try than War & Peace, at least.

Wig shot from Charlie Stanton, a designer.

Tristan Hoare art gallery “transformed into a film set for ITV’s Harlots.”
Various cast waiting in the lunch line.
“Not an everyday sight outside of the office.”
The series’ executive producer Alison Owen describes the story:
“In 1760s London, there were brothels on every corner run by women who were both enterprising and tenacious. History has largely ignored them, but their stories are in turn outrageous, brutal, humorous and real.”
I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration as to the number of brothels, but Georgian London did have a seedy underside that’s well documented (check out Hogarth’s prints, for starters). Looking at it from the women’s point of view would be refreshing, and the series has a lot of women behind the scenes too, including an all-female writing team, female directors for each episode, and female producers. The series promises to have equal time for male nudity as female, and producer Owen told the Television Critics Association:
“It was very important to us from the beginning to make it about the female gaze. Our hope from the beginning was, ‘Everything from the whore’s eye view.'”
I scrounged for these photos last week, and then bam Hulu drops a teaser trailer on January 7, plus I found a few official photos.
Eloise Smyth plays Lucy Wells, maybe a harlot, judging by the corset (which appears quite historically accurate).
Is that Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey) in the foreground?
Samantha Morton plays brothel owner Margaret Wells.
Lesley Manville (center) is Lydia Quigley, owner of a rival brothel, and doesn’t she look fancy!
Do you have access to ITV or Hulu — will you be watching Harlots?

They could have set this story during the Victorian era, considering that period (especially in London) was notorious for the sex trade.
Trystan L. Bass January 10th, 2017
But there have been a lot of Victorian whores on-screen; it’s a pretty typical story. Of Victorian shows on right now / recently, Ripper Street has a long-running prostitute storyline. There’s even Westworld, which is a fantasy of Old West 1880s-ish (robot) prostitutes, from what I can tell.

Oh no. :( Hopefully it will be done as well, and interspersed with classical too, as Marie Antoinette was. I was surprised how little MA bothered me that way.
Yeah, I loved it in Marie Antoinette, but in so many TV shows, a modern soundtrack drives me nuts. I don’t know if that’s bec. MA had music I love in general *and* MA was a gorgeous, mostly historical-looking film otherwise, & most of the TV shows that use modern music have sucky, non-period costumes & stories (Copper is one that comes to mind — I watched literally 10 minutes of it & turned off bec. of the terrible soundtrack & the bad costumes; I enjoyed the mix of modern music & period setting a little more in Peaky Blinders bec. it was very purposefully done, but then, it did get tiresome & OVER-done at times).

I’m tentatively excited about this?? It could possibly be lots of fun? Maybe?
Susan Pola January 10th, 2017
Sounds fun. Wonder if they will explain the difference between a Harlot and Courtesan? Or if will have one ‘house’ be less intelligent? Or will it be soap opera-ish. Also note to self. Download Hulu.
Also can’t wait for this Sunday 15th as Victoria starts. Team Victoria: choose your best method of disposing of Sir John Conroy. Xover methods are okay. (Ex Drogon earring him GoT meets Victoria)
Bronwyn Benson January 10th, 2017
I was looking forward to this since I’d heard about it, but it appears the creators have used an historian’s work without working with her or giving credit or anything. And that really upsets me. :/ :( I’m conflicted because I’m still really interested.
https://twitter.com/HallieRubenhold
Interesting! And certainly not the first time an idea has been cribbed or poached. But it’s not like you can copyright history either. The source material, Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies has been in the public domain for ages (check Google Books), & in interviews, the producers do sound like they’ve done a bit of research — like getting a wide variety of historical synonyms for sex acts ‘to get around modern censors.’ At worst, maybe they read her book, got inspired, & went with it on their own? They’re writing fiction, she wrote non-fiction. We’ll see on-screen :)
Since she’s the only one that’s written about Harris’s List and has written two books on it, it does make me pause. If they read the book/s I hope they’d at least credit somehow. But I do agree that there’s a difference with fiction and non-fiction, so yes, we’ll see. :)
A new article where the producers refute claims of using anyone’s work — guess this is going to come up a few more times!
Ooh, interesting!
Here are Hogarth’s plates from A Harlot’s Progress:

Yes! That’s exactly what I was thinking of :)

It always amuses me when Hogarth is mentioned, as my place of work holds one of, I beleive, two complete collections of his work & we just think of it as the place were we eat lunch 4 days a week & grab a drink with friends coming to see a show.
Our costume designer has used it as inspiration & one of these days, I’ll look at them more closely, but it feels a bit like examining the wall paper!

Russian Media Outlets Have a Curious Take on the Mueller Investigation
The country's state-run media outlets have been quick to denounce any election meddling talk as anti-Russian hysteria. So what's behind the shift in tone?
By Globalo
Four major Russia investigations are underway in Washington, along with at least six related federal inquiries.
Anxiety currently swirls around the Kremlin’s manipulation of popular social media platforms Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. Cybersecurity sleuths claim Russia used Pokemon Go to inflame racial tensions and accuse Twitter of deleting crucial data detailing Russian efforts to sow discord during the 2016 presidential election.
“Russia, Russia Everywhere,” read The New York Times Oct. 13 “Week in Technology” review.
But as a cultural historian, I’m interested in how Russia’s media outlets – many of which are state-controlled – are covering these same stories.
It’s no secret that for years the Kremlin has claimed Washington possesses a knee-jerk, anti-Russian bias. Moscow officials have cast recent U.S. charges that Russia has been acting to “undermine the U.S.-led liberal democratic order” as simply part of this same phenomenon, albeit one that has blossomed, of late, into full-fledged hysteria.
Russia’s most popular media outlets compare the investigations to those of the McCarthy era, calling them “witch hunts” focused on a “phantom menace.”
However, amid all the emphasis of “Russophobia run wild,” Russian media coverage seems to have become more positive in regard to one issue: the Justice Department’s investigation led by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.
While state-sponsored outlets continue to deny any possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, they’ve begun to applaud Mueller’s efforts to look into the past business deals of the U.S. president and his team.
How to explain this development? After all, didn’t the Kremlin originally want Trump to win?
Robert Mueller…hero?
On Oct. 4, U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Richard Burr held a news conference to announce that their investigation into Russian meddling had expanded to include the use (and misuse) of social media.
Many U.S. news outlets covered the event as if it were a sign the Senate inquiry was shifting into high gear. “Top Senators Hint the Russian Investigation is Heating Up,” Business Insider proclaimed.
Russian media, on the other hand, sniffed. They reported on the event as if it were an admission that the charges were unfounded, and the scandal was over. (“Coming Up Empty Handed,” one headline read.)
Compare this, however, to the way Moscow’s three largest, government-controlled television stations reacted when news broke of a federal raid on the home of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort. Gone was the mocking language that generally accompanies “Russiagate” coverage. Instead, they produced substantial stories on former FBI Director Mueller’s background, experience and methods.
Two major outlets used near-identical headlines to claim the Mueller probe was “gaining momentum.” Mueller has experience dealing with corruption, wrote the broadcast agency Vesti, and his investigation appears to involve issues “more serious than what the American mass media is writing about.”
Reports not only mentioned Manafort’s alleged 15 bank accounts and 10 registered businesses in Cyprus, but they also implied such scandals could be just the tip of the iceberg. Mueller, one outlet reported, “will likely dig deep, investigating the finances of Manafort (not to mention the finances of Trump himself).”
Because Manafort has done business with at least one oligarch close to Russian President Valdimir Putin and earned millions of dollars lobbying for a former pro-Russian president of Ukraine, encouraging the U.S. to “dig deeper” into shady deals might seem at odds with Kremlin PR goals.
But this slant makes sense if the intent is to cast Trump in a negative light. Indeed, it appears to be part of an evolving Russian media strategy designed to highlight a stark opposition between the U.S. and the Russian leader – with talk of Trump’s weaknesses serving as a foil to Putin’s supposed stability and strength.
Crafting a contrast
This approach became particularly noticeable after Trump began to mock North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Twitter, calling him “Rocket Man” and threatening to “totally destroy” his country.
Since then, Russian state media has portrayed Trump and Kim as two of a kind. Branding Trump’s comments “shocking” and “provocational,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov condemned both men for behaving like “children in kindergarten.” Russian journalist Dmitry Kiselev accused them of “pouring fuel on a fire” and thereby threatening to destabilize the world.
Meanwhile, the Russian press celebrated Putin’s birthday on Oct. 7 by highlighting his intellect, daring and (supposed) popularity at home and abroad. The Russian News Agency tweeted a video of a mural of Putin, claiming that “graffiti has appeared in Barcelona and Paris” praising the Russian president.

— РИА Новости (@rianru) October 7, 2017
Such admiration apparently extends beyond Europe; “President of South Korea Compares Soul of Vladimir Putin to Bravery of an Amur Tiger,” read another recent headline.
Russian pundits argue that Trump, in contrast, has shown himself to be “utterly ineffective in resolving conflicts…. Besides threats, insults and one-sided sanctions, it turns out he’s got nothing.”
Outlets continue to mock what they claim are exaggerated Western fears of Russian power. But it’s done in a way to remind Russians that these fears, however imaginary, nevertheless testify to their country’s growing clout.
In a September press conference, Putin twice referred to the current U.S. administration as full of people so ignorant that they “can confuse Australia with Austria.” He later quipped that – talk of Oval Office collusion with Russia to the contrary – Trump wasn’t actually his bride. In October, the newspaper Kultura parodied the tendency of Western leaders to see Putin’s “Almighty hand” in events ranging far beyond Trump’s victory, including Brexit and Catalonia’s push for independence from Spain.
A weak, withering West
Stories of Russia’s global reach are juxtaposed against reports of recent U.S. diplomatic and military failures in places like Afghanistan, Syria and Iran. For example, the recent story of North Korean hackers stealing U.S.-South Korean war plans, while reported in the U.S. press, was amplified in the Russian media to suggest American impotence overseas.
While stories critical of Washington aren’t new in Putin’s Russia, casting U.S. foreign policy as deteriorating under Trump – a leader whom Kremlin officials once praised as a promoter of pragmatic diplomacy – marks a change.
Speaking recently to U.S. political scientists, Putin’s foreign minister went so far as to term Trump’s election an “anomaly,” and to imply that Russia “is perfectly aware” that White House actions shouldn’t be considered typical of U.S. politics as usual. In that same appearance, he praised the many Americans who, he claimed, do not share the administration’s points of view.
Responding to what it called the unlawful U.S. “seizure” of a Russian consulate in San Francisco on Oct. 2, the Russian Embassy in Washington made a similar point, tweeting that “an ordinary American stopped by and apologized for his government, saying that it’s not right to violate international law and he is very ashamed.”
The overall tone of such official pronouncements is one of ostensible compassion for all the “good” U.S. citizens who are currently suffering under a “bad” commander-in-chief.
Such growing condemnation of Trump also serves to shore up Putin’s domestic position in the run-up to another Russian presidential election in March 2018.
Opposition leader Alexei Navalny has long tried to draw attention to the issue of Kremlin corruption. In his most recent YouTube video, he accused Russia One journalist Vladimir Solovyov of helping prop up the Putin regime through sycophantic reportage, and he showed drone footage of properties Solovyov allegedly owns in Moscow and Italy, implying they were rewards for political loyalty.
But Navalny – along with opposition newspapers like Nezavisimaia Gazeta – are also deeply skeptical of U.S. leadership.
In affirming the U.S. investigation into Trump’s business practices, Kremlin strategists can co-opt the charges of Putin’s critics and direct them at Trump. They can argue that the U.S. is neither more virtuous than Russia nor more efficacious.
And they can do so without having to acknowledge that a Mueller-style investigation into top-level government malfeasance would never be allowed in their own country today.

BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2018 First Quarter Results
Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.11 Per Share
April 26, 2018 16:02 ET | Source: BJ's Restaurants, Inc.
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., April 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ:BJRI) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2018 first quarter ended Tuesday, April 3, 2018.
First Quarter 2018 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2017
Total revenues grew 8.0% to $278.5 million (non-GAAP total revenues increased 8.2% to $279.0 million when excluding the impact from the 2018 first quarter adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-10 related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers)
Total restaurant operating weeks increased approximately 5%
Comparable restaurant sales increased 4.2%
Net income increased 58.3% to $14.7 million from $9.3 million (first quarter 2018 net income includes a $1.1 million excess tax benefit from equity awards, offset by the $0.7 million pre-tax impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-10)
Diluted net income per share increased 67.6% to $0.70 from $0.42 (first quarter 2018 diluted net income per share includes a $0.05 excess tax benefit from equity awards, partially offset by a $0.02 reduction in diluted net income per share from the adoption of ASU 2016-10)
“The sales building initiatives we implemented last year continue to resonate with our guests, leading to strong 2018 first quarter revenue, comparable restaurant sales, restaurant and consolidated operating margins, and diluted net income per share,” commented Greg Trojan, CEO. “Led by our slow roast menu items, Daily Brewhouse Specials, our handheld server tablets and investments in our off-premise channels, our teams drove 4.2% growth in comparable restaurant sales, a 0.4% increase in guest traffic, a 27.0% rise in operating income and a 30 basis point year-over-year improvement in restaurant operating margins, which together led to a 59.5% increase in diluted net income per share before the excess tax benefit and new accounting standard. Our solid first quarter bottom line results highlight the significant operating leverage in our model, as well as our ongoing commitment to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends.
“Over the last year, BJ’s team members mastered new cooking methods, became proficient taking orders on handheld devices, and streamlined processes to bring efficiencies to our growing off-premise revenue stream. As a result, our slow roasted prime rib special has become a weekend guest favorite and our Daily Brewhouse Specials continue to build mid-week restaurant traffic, while our growing off-premise channel is providing our guests with the convenience of enjoying BJ’s high quality food and beverages at home, at work or on the go. We are also very excited about our upgraded BJ’s Premier Rewards Plus loyalty program, which launched in all of our restaurants in February. We are already seeing a very positive guest response to our upgraded program which simplifies our reward structure, making it easier for guests to be rewarded for choosing BJ’s. We believe these sales building initiatives have further differentiated and elevated BJ’s already high quality menu offerings, strong value proposition, and culture of service and hospitality, which collectively have positioned BJ’s to continue gaining share in the casual dining space.”
In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, BJ’s opened its 198th restaurant in Warwick, Rhode Island, marking the 27th state where the Company operates. “Our recent restaurant openings are performing well and our 2018 pipeline is in excellent shape. We remain on track to open new restaurants in Hagerstown, Maryland and Albany, New York by the end of the second quarter and two to three additional restaurants in the second half of the year. In the current environment, we believe our fiscal 2018 expansion plan of five to six new restaurants provides the right balance of growth and flexibility to allocate our strong cash flows to share repurchases, dividends and other initiatives to enhance shareholder value. Our development team is building a solid pipeline for fiscal 2019 and 2020 new restaurant openings as we remain committed to our long term expansion plans,” Trojan added.
During the 2018 first quarter, the Company adopted ASU 2016-10, an amendment to ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which impacts the way we account for our loyalty program. ASU 2016-10 provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In accordance with ASU 2016-10, we now use loyalty points earned to allocate the transaction price between the goods delivered and the future goods that will be delivered, on a relative standalone selling price basis. As a result of the adoption of this standard, $1.1 million of 2018 first quarter revenues have been deferred until those loyalty points are redeemed in the future. Under the previous standard we estimated the cost of the loyalty reward based on the equivalent cost of the food and beverage earned and recorded this cost as a marketing expense included in “Occupancy and operating” on our Consolidated Statements of Income. This standard does not impact our calculation of comparable restaurant sales. A reconciliation of the impact from ASU 2016-10 is provided at the end of this release.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 0.1 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $5.6 million. Since the Company’s first share repurchase authorization was approved in April 2014, BJ’s has repurchased and retired approximately 9.5 million shares at a cost of approximately $363.0 million and has reduced its outstanding share count by approximately 31%. The Company currently has approximately $37.0 million available under its authorized $400 million share repurchase program.
On April 24, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per share of common stock payable May 28, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 14, 2018. While the Company intends to pay quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, dividends will be reviewed quarterly and declared by the Board of Directors at its discretion.

Restaurant Level Operating Margin
Restaurant level operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to the revenues generated by our restaurants less their direct operating costs which consist of cost of sales, labor and benefits, and occupancy and operating costs. This performance measure includes only the costs that restaurant level managers can directly control and excludes other operating costs that are essential to conduct the Company’s business, as detailed in the table below. Management uses restaurant level operating margin as a supplemental measure of restaurant performance. Management believes restaurant level operating margin is useful to investors in that it highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Because other companies may calculate restaurant level margin differently than we do, restaurant level margin as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
A reconciliation of income from operations to restaurant level operating margin for the first quarter ended April 3, 2018 and April 4, 2017 is set forth below:
Supplemental Financial Information – Restaurant Level Operating Margin
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands)
Income from operations $ 16,373 5.9 % $ 12,949 5.0 %
Restaurant level operating margin $ 50,616 18.2 % $ 46,094 17.9 %
Percentages above represent percent of total revenues and may not reconcile due to rounding.
ASU 2016-10 Reconciliation
The following tables illustrate the impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-10 on our first quarter ended April 3, 2018. As a general matter, these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures and the related reconciliation should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes this reconciliation provides analysts and others in the investment community a way to analyze and compare the Company’s results to prior period results in which ASU 2016-10 was not applied.

Rick Wakeman and Tony Ashton - Gastank (3CD) (3CD)
Label: RRAW
Catalogue Number: MFGZ020CD
The year is 1982. Popular music has gone through several tumultuous years, an understatement for artists of the time. Classic and progressive rock musicians are at that moment reimaging themselves, their sound, and their stagecraft, in light of new influences, and the tremendous impact of music videos via the juggernaut called MTV. Punk has come and mostly gone, but continues to influence a host of bands, all plying slightly different musical territory, be it goth, ska, “new wave” dance or one of any number of increasingly eclectic musical styles.
The most able and successful bands of the 1970s are weathering the storm, making changes to their style and stagecraft and often their lineup. Genesis for example was then approaching mega-stardom with Phil Collins at the helm. Yes in particular were continuing to change at least one member with nearly every new release. Wakeman himself is exploring new styles and approaches to his solo work, having struck gold in the 1970s with such epic releases as The Six Wives of Henry The Eighth and Journey to the Center of the Earth he ended the decade with the more varied releases Criminal Record and Rhapsodies. It’s fair to say that in the early 1980’s Wakeman was in search of a new direction. He recorded a soundtrack for cult favorite The Burning, and the well-received 1984.
Rick Wakeman joined partner Tony Ashton, establishing a new television show called GasTank. Produced by Paul Knight with associate Ralph Tobert, Directed by Gerry Mill and recorded in a pub setting with stage and small studio audience, the show aired in the U.K. on channel 4 in 1982-1983. It featured Wakeman interviewing a host of musical artists as diverse as Steve Hackett, Ian Paice, Andy Fairweather Low, John Entwistle, Eric Burdon, and Godley and Crème, then joining these musicians for a few live numbers with stalwart co-host Tony Ashton and friends.
The show was beloved by fans of rock and prog music who had the chance to see some well established rock ‘n’ roll heroes, along with a few overlooked artists of the era, play classic and new songs live in an intimate setting.
As an example, GasTank #1 kicks off with a couple of pieces by Ashton and Wakeman, then features friends Rick Parfitt from Status Quo, a reggae band The Cimarons, then legends Alvin Lee and Eric Burdon. Ashton brings a sense of humor, honky tonk bar-band blues piano and gritty vocals to his featured songs. Wakeman is, well, the man and musician we’ve come to know over so many years in the business – funny, disarming even, and as always brilliant on the keys. The house band includes long time Wakeman drummer Tony Fernandez with Chas Cronk and Jerome Rimson on bass. The rest of the crew play their parts whether an original tune from their catalog, or a suitable cover, such as when Eric Burdon introduces a long time Elvis Presley favorite. It’s intimate and thoroughly enjoyable for any fan or interested viewer.
GasTank has long been unavailable any format for years.

Cooperatives, Housing, stands, Waterfalls
Over six thousand home seekers at Retreat settlement near Waterfalls could lose a total of $3,600,000 after their stands were parcelled out to other home seekers in yet another of Harare’s on-going land scams.
Harare News visited the settlement recently where home seekers – who are part of housing cooperatives – had been allocated land by the Apex Board. These stands measure between 450 and 600 square metres, and cooperative members had already begun to build on them. But recently these same stands have been allocated to a new group of home seekers, who have stepped in and have begun to build their own structures side by side with those originally allocated. In some instances, three different claimants have built houses side by side on a single patch of land.
“There is disorder here. People are just coming and building on each other’s stands, to the extent that they are even evicting those who have applied for housing through the housing cooperative structures,” said a cooperative home seeker who identified himself only as Masoka.
Masoka, whose stand was given to another home seeker whose new building now blocks the entrance to his own, says the situation is so dire that fighting often breaks out and home seekers literally wield axes against each other.
“We are completely shut out of the settlement. We cannot access our stands despite having paid $8,000 in membership contributions and planning and surveying fees.
Another home seeker who only wanted to be identified as Shingirayi added, “We are still contributing money to the cooperative at the same time as paying for lawyers going to the courts to defend the appropriation of our stands.”
“It is organised chaos! Even though I am the chairman of one of the housing cooperatives in the area, someone still came and built on my stand!” said Edward Matarutse, chairperson of Pachedu Housing cooperative. “We have put the matter before the courts, but they have still not set a date. Our main worry is that members of our cooperative cannot develop their stands yet they are still paying for other developmental services,” added Matarutse.
The Apex Board was formed under a government directive to administer land to cooperatives. Board chair Tonderai Nkomo says the board was responsible for allocating stands to 27 cooperatives at Retreat settlement, formerly Retreat Farm. The problems began when board members Antony Muchato and Samuel Rwodzi decided to break away and form a parallel splinter board called the Harare South Housing Union. This new board then began allocating the same stands to people who were not part of the original cooperatives.
“These are the people creating problems to take advantage of prospective home seekers, “said Nkomo.
When asked for comment, Muchato dismissed allegations that land was being sold as untrue. He said there is a group of disgruntled people who are not pleased with the developments taking place in the area.
“I was a member of the Apex Board, and still assist home seekers as a leader of the Harare South Housing Union,” said Muchato. Muchato now claims he oversees all matters regarding allocation of residential stands in Harare South.
Asked what the original home seekers should do in this situation, Muchato told Harare News that alternative land has been found for them.
“Which alternative land?” responded Matarutse, “The cooperative structure clearly spells out that members listed when a housing cooperative is formed are the deserving members. Where are these people who are now evicting us from our stands coming from?”
Matarutse says the area the breakaway Harare South Housing Union board wanted them to go and occupy is not surveyed or planned, and that it has serious gullies and rocks which make new development very difficult and expensive. “Considering the fact that our cooperatives are composed of people who belong to the lower class, who struggle to even have three meals each day, we don’t have the money to start again at the suggested area,” said Matarutse.
Harare has been rocked by several reports of double allocations, lack of development and embezzlement of funds by cooperative leaders in Hatcliffe, Caledonia and Chitungwiza, forcing government to intervene.
Due to the high numbers on the city’s housing waiting list, desperate home seekers have sought refuge in housing cooperatives, with many falling prey to bogus outfits. Harare’s housing backlog currently stands at an estimated 500,000 houses. Of late, Harare has seen an increase in illegal land developments fuelled by the unavailability of affordable housing to accommodate a growing population.

About Harper West
ADHD? ODD? Or Low Self-Worth?
by Harper West | Aug 25, 2018 | ADHD, Self-Acceptance | 0 comments
I have had several requests lately for information on how Self-Acceptance Psychology reframes emotional and behavioral problems. Rather than using the false “disease model” of “mental disorders” advocated for decades by psychiatrists and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), my new paradigm states that psychological problems are nearly all related to feelings of low self-worth and shame. Poor shame tolerance is caused by an interaction of Five Causative Factors: fear, shame, fear of social exclusion, trauma and attachment status.
While the DSM subdivides and categorizes mental issues in irrelevant ways that confuse, Self-Acceptance Psychology simplifies. All “mental disorders” can be considered one of three blame-shiftng behaviors: Other-blaming, Self-blaming and Blame Avoidance. There is much more in my book on this topic, but here is one case from that book, with the client’s presentation on the lefthand column and the SAP Case Formulation in the righthand column.
Clinicians and others must begin to wean themselves off the false belief that some alleged “neurochemical imbalance” is occurring in the brain and understand that human behavior is caused by human emotions and thoughts — nothing more complicated than that! We do not need to medicate someone who is merely feeling low self-worth and shame! Instead, teaching that person to be self-accepting provides real, life-long solutions to their emotional struggles.
Client Presentation and History
Traditional Diagnosis: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
Connor is a 9-year-old male who has classic hyperactivity and attentional issues, along with disobedience directed only at his mother. He has a pattern of becoming angry when disciplined, but also clinging to his mother in fear. He texts or calls incessantly when she leaves and does not calm down until she returns. He becomes enraged to the point of punching holes in the wall and slamming doors 100 times. Rages began as a toddler.
Self-Acceptance Psychology Case Formulation (In Italic)
Connor clings because he is overly attentive to and solicitous of his mother, a clear sign of attachment distress. Both children and adults engage in clinging and pursuing behaviors when they have insecure attachment patterns.
Many clinicians might miss the clinging behaviors by over-focusing on the more “problematic” oppositional behaviors. They are related. Children who feel fundamentally safe are much less likely to become fearful and then enraged. Connor is alternating between various responses in an attempt to find a solution that helps him feel safe and calm down. He is seeking emotional connection that is not inherently present in his family.
Hyperactivity and attentional symptoms are merely indicators of an elevated threat/arousal response.
Oppositional behavior when criticized indicates oversensitivity to shame and difficulty hearing criticism and responding with equanimity.
ADHD symptoms include fidgeting, lack of focus, hyperactivity, difficulty doing homework, and homework refusal.
ADHD symptoms can be seen as hyper-awareness to threat (sensory sensitivity, lack of focus) and hyper-reactivity to threat (fidgeting, emotional dysregulation). Clearly, something is making Connor worried and fearful. I see many clients with ADHD who also report shameful thoughts intervening while they are reading or doing homework (“I can’t do this,” “I am a slow learner,” “I will never learn to do math,” “I don’t want to make a mistake,” etc). Internal self-shaming messages trigger the fear response, leading to distracted thinking, poor memory, low self-motivation, and poor performance.
His father is an alcoholic, has frequent rages, blames others extensively for his problems. Father gets angry, then leaves the home, and did this throughout Connor’s childhood.
Connor has learned to model his father’s rage and emotional dysregulation. He has also learned that conflict in relationships involves anger, and that issues and emotions are not mended but are unresolved. Father is modeling poor shame tolerance. Connor learned that children are abandoned physically and emotionally by adults who are unable to manage their own emotional needs and distress. Alcohol is a sign of the father’s substitute attachment pattern and likely high levels of anxiety and shame that he is self-medicating with alcohol. Addictions are an indication of poor bonding in the addict’s childhood, indicating that they lack the experience of being compassionately cared for, and making it unlikely that they will know how to bond or connect well with their children.
Connor has learned that relationships are not about mutual caring, trust, and safety.
Poor impulse control is a sign of seeing threats where there are none, being triggered into the fear response easily, and over-reacting to threat. Connor’s parents have consistently modeled anger and are highly anxious, so he does not feel calm. They do not provide emotional attunement and responsiveness to help him learn to regulate emotions in a safe environment.
Connor rages to the point of blackout and reports enjoying feeling exhausted after his rages.
This is clearly a sign of the threat response. Connor has learned an unhealthy way to regulate his emotions. He has trained himself to actually become enraged, because it leads to an eventual reduction in stress neurochemicals and to feelings of calm, which are more enjoyable than the chronic anxiety he experiences.
Connor used to get good grades in school, but now gives up easily and has low motivation.
Homework and school resistance are indicative of avoidance of shame and the “fold” response of the threat system. He feels shame and it seems emotionally safer to give up, rather than try hard and fail. If he tried and got a low grade, this would merely confirm his perceived inadequacy. Those who do not have good self-acceptance do not have the skill of providing themselves with compassion and warmth in the moment of failure or when they feel inadequate. They avoid experiencing shame because they do not have the emotional resources with which to meet it.
When he was a toddler, Connor’s parents used timeouts and “consequences” to enforce behavior.
Children who are isolated when they are angry are taught that normal emotions are shameful. Timeouts isolate a child during emotional distress and teach a child to self-soothe at an inappropriately early age. They do not get comfort and learn to manage emotions with the help of regulated parents. Parents should provide emotional comfort and soothing instead of timeouts. Consequences force a child to use the pre-frontal cortex at a moment when they are emotional and at an age when this brain area is not fully developed. Children will then “fail” to behave correctly, leading to feelings of shame. They learn to think: “Why can’t I control myself?”, even though this is not an age-normal behavior, especially when the child is upset.
Mother is highly anxious in presentation, has extremely pressured speech, fidgets excessively, and cries easily in Connor’s presence.
Children are very attuned to a parent’s emotional state starting in infancy. Parents who are anxious or depressed signal this to a child nonverbally, triggering the child’s primal threat response system. A child subconsciously becomes vigilant: “If my parent is worried, perhaps we are in danger.” Parents must be calm to help a child be calm.
Anxious or depressed parents are also less likely to be attuned to a child’s needs because they are highly focused on getting their own attachment needs met.
Connor bangs his head on walls. He says he will kill himself or “Why don’t you just kill me.” Says he is hurting inside. Connor states he feels he is “stupid, crazy, a psychopath and everything is wrong with me.”
Suicidality and this level of self-loathing are clearly indicative of Self-Blaming behaviors. His statements are obvious commentary about shame, self-judgment, and low self-worth. Many children, such as Connor, alternate between the three Blame-Shifting Strategies, trying to find a solution to handle their difficult emotions and thoughts. Unfortunately, many clinicians and parents will become distressed at this behavior, not realizing the real causes of it, and they will quickly jump to hospitalize or medicate.
Becomes enraged when corrected, especially when mother is getting ready to leave the home. Lashes out at siblings, argues, is oppositional about minor items, says “no” to everything parents suggest, pursues parents to argue with them, cannot back down.
If a child becomes dysregulated when disciplined, it is likely a sign he cannot tolerate shame. Low self-worth and shame are at the core of oppositional behavior. Many of his behaviors indicate “Other-Blaming” behaviors.
Most parents and therapists focus on the behavior only, not the causative emotion. They try behavioral approaches and medications, both of which trigger additional shaming messages to the child — “I am defective and ‘crazy’. I need drugs to fix my broken brain. I am unable to control myself without these drugs.”
Using the Self-Acceptance Psychology paradigm, therapists normalize this behavior as fearful and then place the blame where it should be — with the parents. Children naturally want to please parents. If they are oppositional they have given up on pleasing the parents due to lack of attachment. Lack of pro-social emotions, such as caring and empathy, are signs the child has not been treated with care and empathy — leading to insecure attachment. A child who cannot care for others is in “survival mode” and “living in the limbic system,” making pro-social emotions very difficult to generate, as the mid-brain and cortex are essentially offline during primal threat experiences.
Lack of pro-social emotions also speaks of a lack of self-compassion: A person who has given up caring about others likely also has given up caring about himself.
Connor’s mother has a permissive parenting style. She is not firm and assertive, often because she feels guilty about the divorce. She tells Connor he is the “man of the house” now that the father is not present.
His father has not been involved in Connor’s care and works a lot, leaving Connor to feel abandoned.
The mother’s permissive parenting style is signaling she is not in charge and she has even said as much. Connor feels pressure to be “a man,” so he makes attempts to be in charge through oppositional behavior. He does not know how to be in charge in healthy ways because he is a child, so he does it with extremes of tantrums, rage, opposition, etc. However, when he behaves this way, he feels he has failed in this duty and blames himself. An ineffective, weak parent can make Connor feel unsafe, making him chronically anxious.
Does not like it when others get upset, especially mother.
He feels he is a burden because he made others upset, a sign of Self-Blaming behaviors.
Parents over-focus on behaviors and under-focus on emotions.
Parents who over-focus on behavioral correction are under focusing on emotional attunement.
Children are just learning how to behave. So when parents over-focus on behaviors a child learns he only gets approval through good behavior. When he misbehaves, which is normal, but his parents over-react, he then experiences failure and shame. He concludes he is unworthy of love. Under-focus on emotions leads to insecure attachment, further reinforcing messages of unworthiness.
His mother is overly involved in supervising homework, chores, etc. She wants to rescue Connor from his feelings and is afraid of his strong emotions.
Intrusive parenting signals to a child that he cannot perform on his own and leads to feelings of inadequacy, fears of failure and, eventually, low motivation. Many adults also have low motivation because they fear failure.
Both parents denigrate each other, telling Connor that the other parent is a “bad parent.” His father told Connor his mother did not want him.
His mother cries in front of Connor, overshares about marital conflict and divorce, overshares about the failings of his father.
His mother cannot handle her own emotional state, signaling to Connor that she is not there for him and that he must defer to her emotional needs — a clear sign of lack of secure attachment. Narcissistic or Other-blaming parents lack the empathy and self-awareness to truly care for others. Her over-sharing of adult situations and emotions also may trigger him into a fearful response, because as a child he is not equipped to manage these thoughts and emotional experiences. Parents who lack secure attachment over-focus on problems in their marital relationship, which causes them to under-focus on a child’s needs. Parents who cannot resolve their own attachment needs are not likely to raise securely attached children.
When his father calls on the phone and asks “How was your day,” Connor becomes irritated because “Dad asks too many questions.”
When I pursued this idea more deeply with Connor, he said that when his father asked questions it “makes me afraid I’ll give the wrong answer.” Look for any signs of perfectionism or fear of failure as clues to shame.

Extractions: (entertainer, born October 23, 1925, Corning, Iowa) Since 1962, watching the "Tonight" show was for millions of Americans a nightly ritual, particularly Johnny Carson's opening monologue that chronicled the events of our nation for three volatile decades. It's been described as "a magnifying glass on American culture," "the nation's emotional barometer (also weathervane and thermometer)," "a national institution," and "the national comforter." Carson is one of the most influential performers in the history of the [television] medium," wrote James Wolcott in The Village Voice. As a comedian, he is unquestionably a master. . . he has distilled the influences of Jack Benny, Jackie Gleason, Steve Allen, Jonathan Winters, Fred Allen...into a style which is perfectly calibrated to the scale of the video medium." Many have tried to explain the secret of Carson's success: his cool, affable, understated style; his uncanny rapport with the audience and his brilliant blend of comic talent and down-home charm that disarm everyone. "Accustomed to thinking of Carson the host, we forget the range of Carson the actor-comedian," stated Kenneth Tynan. Carson is capable of daring comic one-upmanship. The way he uses the camera as a silent conspirator is probably his most original contribution to TV technique."

Extractions: Welcome to..... Welcome to Carson City, Nevada Online...the web home of Carson City Government! Freelance writer Lynn Ferrin offers a vivid description of Carson City by quoting Mark Twain: "By and by Carson City was pointed out to us," wrote Mark Twain in Roughing It. "It nestled in the edge of a great plain and was a sufficient number of miles away to look like an assemblage of mere white spots." The mountain summits overlooking it, he noted, "seemed lifted clear out of companionship and consciousness of earthly things." Twain arrived in 1861, but Nevadas capital still looks the same way to a visitor driving over from Lake Tahoea town dominated by its setting. The early morning sun lights up the great eastern scarp of the Sierra Nevada; the setting sun sets afire the Pine Nut Mountains out in the Great Basin Desert. The nights are full of stars, the air scented with sage. Prior to 1969, Carson City was a part of Ormsby County. In 1969 Ormsby County was merged into Carson City to consolidate government services. Carson City is a consolidated municipality. There are now nine state capitals with smaller populations than Carson City, and in fact, with its area of 143.5 square miles, Carson City can now advertise itself as one of the largest state capitals in America!

Language Treasures Collected — My Spring Trip to Southern China
May 8, 2018 Gisela Jia
In just eight days — between a Wednesday afternoon and the following Thursday afternoon this past April — I went to six cities in China.
It didn’t feel like I was traveling a lot. In each city, I had ample time to fully engage myself in various activities. I gave two talks to parents, one talk to teachers, attended a big conference, visited a factory, climbed up the so-claimed “the most beautiful mountain in China” — Huangshan (黄山, the Yellow Mountain) — had a reunion with my former students, and enjoyed many leisurely chats and meals with friends and relatives.
Part 1: 高铁 - High Speed Railway
So what made the traveling in China so easy? The high speed railway.
高 (gāo) by itself means tall or high, 铁 (tiě) means iron, but “high iron” is far from its actual meaning — high speed railway. The puzzling name reflects the heavy compounding nature of the Chinese language. 速度 (sù dù) means speed, combining 高 (gāo) with 速 (sù) forms the compound 高速 (gāo sù), which means high speed. Combining 铁 (tiě) with 路 (lù) forms 铁路 (tiě lù), which means railway.
Gather 高速 (gāo sù) and 铁路 (tiě lù) together and you get 高速铁路 (gāo sù tiě lù), which means high speed railway. In short, 高铁 (gāo tiě).
These days, when one Chinese asks another Chinese how he would travel to a place, the most frequent answer is “坐高铁” (ride the high speed trains).
The construction of the high speed railway system started in 2004 and the trains went into service by 2007. It spans a total length of 12,000 miles, longer than the combined length of all the remaining high speed railways in the world.
When it comes down to riding the high speed railway, here is how it goes:
Tickets are booked online (mostly) or bought at the ticket windows inside the stations. It was very common to see a Chinese friend of mine picking up her phone, skimming through the train schedules, and in a matter of two minutes, have a reservation made. Buying the tickets online just a few days ahead of the travel date or at the train station on the same day of travel is fine.
At the train station on the day of your travel, head over to a ticket machine if you are a Chinese citizen, scan your ID and your tickets will be dispensed. For foreign travelers, reserved tickets are manually issued at the ticket window. Therefore, it is wise to get to the station a little earlier in case there is a line to the ticket windows. Depending on the city — the bigger the city, the longer the lines are in front of the ticket windows — it can be as few as several people or as many as 20 or so people at a given time.

In all the cities, the high speed railway stations are built as separate stations from the old train stations that have served the cities for decades. While the old train stations tend to occupy a central location in a city, the high speed railway stations are usually at the outskirts of the city (but not as far as the airports).
The old train stations tend to bare the word 站 (zhàn) — station — at the end, such as, 北京站 (Beijing Station) or 南京站 (Nanjing Station). To distinguish a 高铁 (gāo tiě) station from an old train station, a direction word — 东 (dōng) east, 南 (nán) south, 西 (xī) west, 北 (běi) north — indicating the relative location of the station to the city is used in the station name. Thus, there are 北京南站 (Beijing South Station) and 南京南站 (Nanjing South Station). Because all the high speed railway stations I had encountered in the earlier part of this trip have 南 in their names, I initially thought all of them are built to the south of a city. This was clarified when I got to Yellow Mountain, where the high speed railway station there is called 黄山北站 (Huangshan North Station).
To give you a sense of the speed, here are a few trips I made on the high speed railway in China:
Shanghai 上海 - Nanjing 南京 - Changzhou 常州
I boarded a train on a Saturday at around 6:25am from Shanghai to Nanjing. I arrived in Nanjing just after 8:00am and made it in time to attend a conference. On this ride, I overheard an elderly local woman on the train commenting that this trip used to take her more than 6 hours.
Later that day after the conference, I boarded a train from Nanjing to Changzhou where I was able to enjoy an authentic local meal, give a talk to parents organized by a mental hospital, and arrived back to Nanjing just in time to mingle with the weekend subway crowd. A one-day trip like this used to take at least a couple of days.
Huangshan 黄山 – Beijing 北京
I boarded a train at 12:13pm from Huangshan (Yellow Mountain, south of the Yangtze River) and arrived in Beijing by 6:00pm. This gave me enough time to take a morning stroll deep in the mountains and taste some local wine in a nearby village before boarding the train in Huangshan, and making it to Beijing in time to have dinner with my two friends that same evening.
A few other details about the high speed railway
When I ride with Amtrak along the Northeast corridor between NYC and Boston or DC, I often get motion sickness because of the bumpiness of the trains, but this doesn’t happen on the high speed railway trains in China; the ride is very smooth.
Chinese style meals are sold on carts strolled up and down the aisle on the trains by uniformed female attendants. These 盒饭 (hé fàn) or “boxed meal” usually go for about 30 yuan ($5 USD) and you can order a cup of coffee (instant powder) for about the same price.
In the old times on the trains, Chinese people liked to lay out their snacks on the trays then chatted and ate their way to the destination. These days, everyone’s eyes are glued to their mobile devices and their conversations are exchanged wirelessly. While this is definitely more tamed, but I must admit the atmosphere inside the cars is less vibrant than the past.
The bathrooms are clean, but are all squat toilets and most likely you need to bring your own toilet paper.
Part 2: 物物交换 - Quid Pro Quo (Something For Something)
After decades of being a passive victim to a stomach cramp problem in damp weather, I decided to find a cure. I know that Western medicine is not going to do much for me, because in the past no doctor in NYC practicing Western medicine was able to diagnose my condition.
A good friend’s father, whom I call Xue Laoshi, is a devoted amateur Chinese herbal medicine doctor in China. In his apartment, there is a wall of little cabinets each containing a particular type of herb. On the day of my visit, a young mother came in to pick up her medicine. Xue Laoshi handed her a few plastic bottles holding a brownish liquid. Xue Laoshi not only diagnosed this woman’s condition and prescribed her medicine, but he also prepared the medicine for her (Chinese herbal medicine generally requires intensive and detailed boiling or brewing instructions).
A few months earlier, I told Xue Laoshi my symptoms for the first time. He then asked me a series of questions about my bodily functions and gave me a diagnosis. He prescribed two kinds of herbal medicine — one for preventive, the other for curing.
During my visit, Xue Laoshi handed me two plastic bags of herbs with brewing instructions, in great detail, written on a piece of paper.
Knowing that some of these herbal ingredients are very valuable and costly, I pleaded to pay him back and asked whether his other patients usually pay him. Xue Laoshi shook his head with a big smile and said, “物物交换” (wù wù jiāo huàn).
物 (wù) is the formal counterpart of 东西 (dōng xī), which means thing(s); 交换 (jiāo huàn) means exchange or trade; 物物交换 (wù wù jiāo huàn) means “quid pro quo” or trading something with another thing.
Living in NYC, I’m perfectly comfortable with charging a friend for tutoring her child Chinese and then pay her for any work she does for me. But for most Chinese people, this is an awkward thing to do. Instead, Chinese people prefer getting something free of charge from a friend and then returning the favor. This kind of trading is a delicate dance that requires, most importantly, a good memory and some mental work. Once you get into it, you could enjoy this dance too.
Nonetheless, 物物交换 can also be an excuse for someone who just wants to give. In Xue Laoshi’s case, when I asked to pay him back for the herbs, he immediately pointed out that instead of paying him money, I could instead help his grandson with English. While I only exchanged a few English sentences with his grandson, I’m sure he spent hours studying and researching my condition, and dug into his own pockets to pay for the herbs.

3. 想不开 - Feeling Trapped
On my second morning in China, I took a 7:00am flight (the only flight I took in China) from Beijing to Zunyi. The driver of my ride, Xiao Lai, insisted on picking me up at 5:00am so that I wouldn’t be late for my flight. Xiao Wei is a friend of my sister. He drove me free of charge and I was made to understand that he and my sister help each other all the time and charging me a fare would be a silly idea. I asked whether he drove for a company, he said, “我是开滴滴的。” (wǒ shì kāi dī dī de) — "I drive for Didi."
Didi is a car service company that is modeled after Uber. Uber also exists in China and is popular, but so is Didi. However, Didi and Uber drivers are not considered to be legal commercial drivers. If these drivers are caught with a client, they are fined heavily.

Just as we were approaching the departure drop-off gate at the airport terminal, Xiao Lai pointed to the lane below our highway and told me that just a few days ago, a Didi driver was caught with a fare at that spot and was fined 20,000 yuan. This driver had also just borrowed 30,000 yuan to purchase his car with an installment plan and after being issued the ticket for the fine that he must pay, the driver promptly jumped off a bridge and ended his life.
Upon hearing this shocking story, I let out a scream. Xiao Lai replied, “嗨，想不开！”
想 (xiǎng) means think; 不 (bù) means no or not; 开 (kāi) means open — the literal translation of this phrase is: someone “can’t think it open” or is taking a situation too hard.
When someone can “think something open,” it means that person can understand and therefore accept a situation. 想不开 (xiǎng bù kāi) is a phrase used by Chinese people in the context of commenting on others’ extreme (usually tragic) behaviors, such as resorting to violence, hysteria or suicide to solve problems.
Part 4: 女性专用通道 - Women Only Lane
The security check seems to be the place where all passengers congregate at the airports in China — you can always count on there being long lines. One reason could be that the manual body scanning seems to be done in a much more meticulous manner than in the US. A security officer, usually under the age of 35, carefully scans your entire body, patting you up and down. At the receiving end, it feels ticklish.
On my way to a flight departing for Zunyi, I arrived at the extremely crowded security checkpoint at Beijing airport. There were many doors and lines. While I was hesitating which line to join, I heard a young male security officer shouting, “那边有女士专用通道!” (There is a female only lane over there!).
The "Female Only Lane" at Beijing airport.
Without hesitation, I went and joined a long line with only female passengers. Soon I found out that the ladies seemed to take their time and were slower in every step of the process. I found myself constantly looking at the regular lines and comparing the speed and trying to figure out whether I had made the right decision by joining this 女士专用通道 (nǚ shì zhuān yòng tōng dào).
I looked at the ladies in my line. No one was chatting or curious about this new initiative that may very well raise a few eyebrows here in the Western world. At that moment, it dawned on me just how practical Chinese people can be, in the sense that these ladies didn’t care much about the actual “segregation” practice. Instead, they only cared about whether or not the line is moving.
It was the first time in my life that I was amongst such a large group of Chinese women. I was utterly touched by the powerful, yet serene, aura in the presence of these ladies. Throughout history, Chinese women have been the backbones of Chinese communities everywhere because of their profound spirit of tolerance and hard working nature.
Part 5: 鱼米之乡 - The Land of fish and Rice
The high speed railway ride from Shanghai to Nanjing brought my family history into perspective. Along the way, the train passed lakes, rivers, ponds, and lush green lands, all interwoven together. The view was gentle, pleasing and soothing.
This area is near my parent’s hometown of Zhenjiang (镇江). Located in the lower plateau of the Yangtze River, it is also known as 鱼米之乡 (yú mǐ zhī xiāng). 鱼 (yú) means fish, 米 (mǐ) means rice, 之 (zhī) is the ancient form for ’s, 乡 (xiāng) means land or village. 鱼米之乡 (yú mǐ zhī xiāng) means the land of fish and rice (it is synonym to the Land of the Plenty). Fresh fish and rice have been in the regular diet of local people for thousands of years.
"The Land of Fish and Rice" (Image source: club.china.com)
My parents, in their early 30s, were both sent to the countryside of Shandong province in northern China. There, the mountains are bare majority of the year and the land is flat and without much water. When I was growing up, fresh fish and rice were only delicacies for Chinese New Year.
Until I saw with my own eyes how 鱼米之乡 looks like during this train ride, I never fully appreciated the degree of adaptation my parents made all those decades.
Part 6: 招待 - Hospitality
On the train ride from Shanghai to Nanjing, I overheard a lady talking on the phone with her relatives. “ 谢谢你们的招待!” (Thank you for your hospitality!) she said them. Here, 招待 (zhāo dài) is a noun and it means hospitality or as a verb it can mean taking care of guests. Therefore, you can say 好好招待 (hǎo hǎo zhāo dài) someone, which means “taking good care of someone.”
An important part of the Chinese standard of hospitality is to receive one’s guests from the airport and sending them off at the end. Another characteristic of such hospitality is to offer nice meals to guests — I have been treated with all kinds of nice meals.
Everywhere I went, I was picked up at the train station or airport, and I never had to take a taxi getting around. My suitcases, even my purse, were often carried by my gracious hosts. I was treated with meals full of local delicacies, which I ate and offered my heart-felt compliments. In response, my hosts would always say that I’m someone that is “好招待” (hǎo zhāo dài), which means I’m so easily pleased as a guest (meaning I was not a demanding nor picky guest).
In the hands of host that showers you with such hospitality, who would have a reason to behave as a guest that is “不好招待” (bù hǎo zhāo dài) — a guest that is "hard to please."
Part 7: 网银 - Electronic Payment
I traveled with my sister most of the week. While I carried cash with me everywhere, I rarely saw my sister using cash. She either poked around on her phone or scanned her phone to pay.
Foreign currencies in a bank account cannot be automatically converted into RMB, therefore, for E-payment to work in China, you need to have a bank account with RMB (the Chinese currency) that can be linked to a E-payment app — 支付宝 (zhī fù bǎo), also known as Alipay, is one of them. Alipay was developed by Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group, and is the Chinese equivalent of services like PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay or Google Wallet. Alipay can also be linked to a social media app called WeChat where you can then make a payment by scanning a barcode.
Even vendors on the street accept E-payment. In Nanjing, two friends (a young couple) of mine brought their daughter to play at the park. The daughter wanted a hotdog from a street vendor but none of her parents had cash on them at the time. So the father transferred 20 yuan (the minimum required for a transfer) to the vendor’s account, but the cost of the hotdog was only 5 yuan so the vendor gave the father 15 yuan in change back, but in cash!
Electronic payment methods is called 网银 (wǎng yín). 网 (wǎng) means internet; 银 (yín) means silver and is the ancient word for money.
In the context of linking bank accounts to Alipay or WeChat, the word 挂 (guà) is often used. It means to hang up something, such as — 挂画 (guà huà) to hang up a picture (on a wall), 挂衣服 (guà yī fú) to hang up clothes, 挂电话 (guà diàn huà) to hang up the phone. As for 挂 (guà) in the context of 网银 (wǎng yín), it means to connect. Therefore, you can say, “挂一个账号” (connect an account).

8. 忙得很 - Very Busy
One of the highlights of my trip was spending time with this unassuming but amazing guide named Xie Xiaoyan in the Yellow Mountain region. She accompanied my party and I up and down the mountains and told us many stories and personal experiences, bringing the rich local history to life. She told us that she could find local doctors who knew exactly how to treat a spectrum of health conditions — from knee problems to poisonous snakebites. She described how her mother tended the tea trees but was often unable to finish picking the young tea tips within a short span of just a little over a week before the young leaves grow too old for making tea.
One day, around dusk, while we were driving to a show about the lives of the local women, Xie Xiaoyan pointed to the fields and said, “这里的人忙得很 －养蚕，采茶，种菊花。” (zhè lǐ de rén máng dé hěn yǎng cán cǎi chá, zhǒng júhuā) “The people here are very busy — raising silkworms, picking tea and planting chrysanthemums.”
忙 (máng) means busy. 很 (hěn) means very. 很忙 (hěn máng) would mean very busy. 忙得很 (máng dé hěn) also means very busy and is more colloquial.
Like many others in the world, Chinese people are very industrious and entrepreneurial. No matter where they find themselves to be, they find ways to stride a living. Therefore, the folks in the Yellow Mountain regions of China are always busy tending to their silkworms, tea trees and flowers; trying to transform every silkworm, every tea leaf and flower into household income.
Xie Xiaoyan takes her morning stroll near her village in the mountains.
9. 寸土寸金 - An Inch of Soil, An Inch of Gold
Our Yellow Mountain guide, Xie Xiaoyan, took us to a village called 西屏 (xī pín) — an ancient village surrounded by mountains with only a small number of residents remaining. The village has very narrow lanes and paths connecting to individual houses. When I asked Xie Xiaoyan why it is that the lanes and paths are so narrow, she said, “寸土寸金” (cùn tǔ cùn jīn).
寸 (cùn) means inch, 金 (jīn) means gold. 寸土寸金 (cùn tǔ cùn jīn) means an inch of soil, an inch of gold. I have heard Chinese people using this phrase to comment on real estate in Manhattan, Beijing and Tokyo. In this case for this small village, it’s not about the square footage of a luxury apartment or house, instead, it is about farming — the livelihood of the residents that still farm the fields reside on every inch of the soil. So it truly is "every inch of soil is worth gold."
View of Xiping village.
A narrow path in Xiping village.
As an outsider, I was mesmerized by the beautiful mountains surrounding this village. However, to the local folks who rely on what is under their feet to survive, the mountains present a depressing and ruthless view. This led to the local ancient custom of boys and young men either studying hard in hopes of becoming governmental officials or migrating to big cities to do businesses.
This custom resulted in generations of women being left behind to take care of the fields, the elderlies and the children. Many of these women lived lonely lives because they were just “wives in name” while their husbands lived a separate life with their new families out in the big cities.
These days, a young couple may migrate to bigger cities together, leaving their children back home under the care of their grandparents.
Part 10: 你看着很有修养 - You Seem Cultured
In Xiping (西屏), I strolled into a store selling local tea and wine. I asked for the prices of some tea and the proper way to brew the tea, and then ended up buying some tea and tasted a few of their local wines. The storeowner gladly showed me his award certificates as a tea maker and told me that he makes all tea by himself. While chatting, I carried myself in my usual manner. When the storeowner was weighing some tea for me, he looked at me and said, “你看着很有修养。你是个老师吧？” (nǐ kàn zhe hěn yǒu xiū yǎng nǐ shì gè lǎo shī ba) — "You seem very cultured. Are you a teacher?"
修养 (xiū yǎng) is particularly hard to translate. 修 (xiū) on its own mean fix or trim. 养 (yǎng) means raise or cultivate. When someone is said to have 修养 (xiū yǎng), it means that person is well-raised or cultured. It usually means a person has good manner from the outside and with a sound sense inside. This storeowner quickly connected 修养 (xiū yǎng) to 老师 (lǎo shī) — teacher, so as you can see, the image of a teacher in the minds of the Chinese people is someone who is cultured.
In contrast, when Chinese people see a person with poor manners or not being considerate of others, they would say this person 没修养 (méi xiū yǎng) — not cultured.
When he heard that I may bring a group of children to the area in the summer, he said, “你们可以住在我们家。免费的。” (You can live in my house. Free of charge.) and I think he really meant it.

Part 11: 让您买单了 - You Ended Up Paying the Bills
On my Yellow Mountain trip, my former student, Xiao Jing, joined me. He just turned in his doctoral dissertation in the field of criminal justice, and he is also among the 35 students from all over China who took a 4-day Introduction to Psychology crash course with me in the summer of 2014. He decided to join me for the climb up the mountain because he thought I might need the support. (But I didn’t!)

As usual, I insisted on paying for his expenses as I normally do for many of my students, and I did. At the end of the trip at the train station, as we were bidding farewell to each other Xiao Jing said to me, “不过还要让您买单!” (But you ended up paying for my expenses!).
买 (mǎi) means buy, 单 (dān) means bills; 买单 (mǎi dān) means paying the bill. In a restaurant, when you are ready to take care of the bill after a meal, you can ask for the check by saying to the waiter, “买单!”
Part 12: 倒霉呗! - Just Bad Luck!
On my way to the Beijing Airport for my return flight back to the US, my sister’s friend, Xiao Lai, drove me again. While driving, he answered a call from his mother. He later told me that his mom asked him to go visit a cousin of his in the hospital. As it turned out, this cousin, in his early 40s, was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. To add to the tragedy, the cousin is also a father of two very young children and is the only bread earner of the family with no insurance to cover his treatments.
While I became worried for this cousin, Xiao Lai said in a light tone, “倒霉呗!” (dǎo méi bei).
倒霉 (dǎo méi) means bad luck, 呗 (bei) is a filler word used at the end of a sentence. When something bad happens, a Chinese person may say, “真倒霉！” (zhēn dǎo méi) — Just bad luck!
Again, here is another example of how the Chinese manage to accept a situation if there’s nothing they can do to change it. One may say that “just bad luck” is a way to brush off what is in fact a very tragic situation, but I must admit there’s some philosophical wisdom in Xiao Lai's words that I admire.
Part 13: 微信 - WeChat
Instead of ending my essay on 倒霉 (dǎo méi) — bad luck, let me end it with something more positive. The entire Chinese population seems to be connected through WeChat — the popular Chinese social media app that can be used on mobile devices or computers — they chat with friends, buy and sell, teach and learn, all on weChat.
Stay tuned for my next essay on WeChat!

How to select the correct radiation thermometer
Radiation thermometers these recent years are remarkably cheap. This is probably due to the expansion of users and cost reduction efforts made by manufacturers. As there are many types of radiation thermometers these days, such as specification and price, selecting the correct one will be difficult. Purchasing it just by price and not by purpose will be regretting. Please refer to the explanation below to select the correct radiation thermometer.
Important specifications when selecting the correct radiation thermometer
When selecting a thermometer, it is said that types of sensors, measuring temperature range, accuracy and etc. are important specifications to consider. In addition, the following needs to be paid attention to for radiation thermometers: target size, measuring distance and the presence of emissivity setting function.
Moreover, temperature drift and measured wavelength range are also important.
When comparing specifications with different catalogs, there seems to be slight standard differences among manufacturers. It is also difficult to determine all performance just by specifications. In order to match the purpose of use when purchasing, it is recommended to consider the following points.
Target size / Object distance (Measuring view)
The measuring area of the radiation thermometer is shown as the target size (measuring view) of the object distance.
Choose a target size smaller than the measuring object.
If the target size is bigger than the measuring object, the radiation thermometer measures around the object so accurate measurement cannot be expected. It is called “visual field defect” when the measuring object does not meet the view of the radiation thermometer.
However, it does not mean that choosing the smallest target size is correct because radiation thermometers have a phenomenon known as the size-of-source effect.
In contrast to the visual field affect, the size-of-source effect is a phenomenon which the output of the thermometer changes due to the size difference even if the measuring object is a size that meets the target size. The size-of-source effect is a phenomenon that arises from diffraction due to the aperture diaphragm of the optical system, scattering of object lens, reflection inside the lens barrel, heating of detecting elements due to incident light, etc.
According to the display rules made by JIS, manufacturers should include the size-of-source effect in the specifications but not many manufacturers do so. However, when the measuring object is particularly small, it is important to select not only a small target size but also a radiation thermometer that has a small size-of-source effect. Figure 5 shows an actual measurement of the size-of-source effect of HORIBA`s handheld radiation thermometers and thermometers sold at markets.
Emissivity setting function
Radiation thermometers measure the intensity of radiant energy emitted from the surface of the measuring object and calculate the temperature. The intensity of radiant energy emitted from the object is determined not only by the object temperature but also by a specific coefficient called “emissivity”. Therefore, when measuring temperature with a radiation thermometer, knowing the temperature beforehand and setting the emissivity correction is necessary. Incorrect emissivity will cause measurement error.
The correct way to set the emissivity will be explained later but the emissivity setting function on radiation thermometers are a necessary function for accurate measurement.
※Measurement influenced by the size-of-source effect is carried out by setting a blackbody furnace with an opening equal to or 1.5 times bigger, or by setting an aperture size corresponding to the prescribed target size with an opening diameter of 1.4 times bigger in front of a stable heat source and then finding the difference between the indicated values of the radiation thermometer for each diaphragm. （Jan. 1998）
※Equation of size-of-source effect is below.
When ambient temperature suddenly changes, such as moving the radiation thermometer from one place to another, temperature drift occurs in the measuring value due to the change in the infrared sensor and the optical system resulting as measurement error.
Generally, the value of temperature drifts described in catalogs are calculated by converting the indicated difference of when sufficient time passes to the change of ambient temperature of the thermometer into “value per 1 degree ambient temperature change”. However, transient temperature drift are not written in catalogs as it is difficult to take countermeasures and as there are not any defined evaluation methods.
Even radiation thermometers actually sold at markets, the characteristics differ as shown in Figure 6. Radiation thermometers have a faster responses than contact types as measurement can be completed in a few seconds but it is necessary to pay attention to sudden environmental changes.
Measured wavelength range
At last but not least, measured wavelength range is an extremely important point when choosing a radiation thermometer.
1.Temperature and measured wavelength range
According to Planck`s law, the higher the object temperature, shorter wavelength light is emitted and the lower the object temperature, longer wavelength light is emitted. In other words, radiation thermometers that use short wavelengths are suitable for measuring high temperature substances and long wavelengths are suitable for measuring low temperature substances.
2.Measuring object and measured wavelength range
As mentioned in “Emissivity setting function” that radiant energy from actual objects depend on not only temperature but also on the emissivity of the object itself, emissivity of a substance depends on the wavelength range of infrared rays.
In other words, depending on the substance, infrared rays of a specific wavelength range may not be emitted. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a radiation thermometer that matches the characteristics of the measuring object within the measured wavelength range. Please refer to the radiation characteristics of typical substances (metal, glass, plastics etc.) explained in the “Radiation characteristics of the measuring object”.

Exhibitors sought for cultural craft show
If you are one of those with an abiding interest in crafts and if you are keen to exhibit crochets and other forms of art, you should then participate in an event scheduled to be held in West Auckland next month.
Traditional crafts and arts will form a part of the ‘Great WISE Cultural Craft Exchange’ show at the Corban Estate Arts Centre in Henderson on March 7.
WISE Project Coordinator Heather Tanguay said that the Community Project, which supports former refugees, would welcome members of various Asian communities to offer their support and assistance to add to the variety and colour of the exhibition.
“We want more people from Asian communities such as Korea, China, Japan, India and Pakistan to take part in the forthcoming event. Japanese crocheting, for example, differs from Indian crocheting. We want every ethnic group in Auckland to be represented at this programme,” Ms Tanguay said.
Creative enterprise
She said that the inaugural event was spurred by the creative enterprise of WISE Collective, with its women members crocheting and selling handmade blankets, bags and brooches.
“At our WISE hubs in Massey and Mt Albert, we have women from five different cultures who do not speak English and did not know each other. But they have now become wonderful friends through craft. It does not matter if they do not speak the same language. They speak to each other through craft,” Ms Tanguay said.
Funded by the Henderson-Massey Board, the Great WISE Cultural Craft Exchange takes place on the same weekend as the International Women’s Day, the theme of which is ‘Make It Happen.’
Regional Communications Manager Chinwe Akomah said that the Project was one of the avenues of empowering women.
“Although the event is open to all, it is a great and fitting opportunity to highlight the continued push to elevate women in the society ensuring their self-sustenance. We intend to honour International Women’s Day at the Great Cultural Craft Exchange,” she said.
Attendees and crafters can exchange gifts or register for a stall at $20 per stall to sell items. For more information, please call Heather Tanguay on (09) 8188809.

The Death of the AI Author
June 14, 2019 Ian Kerr
For years, I have been hoping to collaborate my dear friend Carys Craig, a copyright expert and rockstar Prof at Osgoode Hall professor whose work I have admired for years. In this early draft, we confront the issue of AI authorship. In a world where robots are writing movie scripts and composing music, much of the second-generation literature on AI and authorship asks whether an increasing sophistication and independence of generative code should cause us to rethink embedded assumptions about the meaning of authorship, arguing that recognizing the authored nature of AI-generated works may require a less profound doctrinal leap than has historically been suggested.
In this essay, we argue that the threshold for authorship does not depend on the evolution or state of the art in AI or robotics. Instead, we contend that the very notion of AI-authorship rests on a category mistake: it is not an error about the current or potential capacities, capabilities, intelligence or sophistication of machines; rather it is an error about the ontology of authorship.
Building on the established critique of the romantic author figure, we argue that the death of the romantic author also and equally entails the death of the AI author. We provide a theoretical account of authorship that demonstrates why claims of AI authorship do not make sense in terms of 'the realities of the world in which the problem exists.' (Samuelson, 1985) Those realities, we argue, must push us past bare doctrinal or utilitarian considerations of originality, assessed in terms of what an author must do. Instead, what they demand is an ontological consideration of what an author must be. The ontological question, we suggest, requires an account of authorship that is relational; it necessitates a vision of authorship as a dialogic and communicative act that is inherently social, with the cultivation of selfhood and social relations as the entire point of the practice. Of course, this ontological inquiry into the plausibility of AI-authorship transcends copyright law and its particular doctrinal conundrums, going to the normative core of how law should — and should not — think about robots and AI, and their role in human relations.

Schrödinger’s Robot: Privacy in Uncertain States
June 3, 2019 Ian Kerr
As robots and AIs are becoming ever-present in public and private, this piece addresses an increasingly relevant issue: can robots or AIs operating independently of human intervention or oversight diminish our privacy? Here, I consider two equal and opposite schools of thought on this issue.
On the side of the robots, we see that machines are starting to outperform human experts in an increasing array of narrow tasks, including driving, surgery, and medical diagnostics. This performance track record is fueling a growing optimism that robots and AIs will one day exceed humans more generally and spectacularly; some think, to the point where we will have to consider their moral and legal status.
On the side of privacy, I consider the exact opposite: that robots and AIs are, in a legal sense, nothing. The prevailing view is that since robots and AIs are neither sentient nor capable of human-level cognition, they are of no consequence to privacy law.
In this paper, I argue that robots and AIs operating independently of human intervention can and, in some cases, already do diminish our privacy. Using the framework of epistemic privacy, we can begin to understand the kind of cognizance that gives rise to diminished privacy. Because machines can act on the basis of the beliefs they form in ways that affect people’s life chances and opportunities, I argue that they demonstrate the kind of awareness that definitively implicates privacy. I come to the conclusion that legal theory and doctrine will have to expand their understanding of privacy relationships to be inclusive of robots and AIs that meet these epistemic conditions. Today, an increasing number of machines possess the epistemic qualities that force us to rethink our understanding of privacy relationships between humans and robots and AIs.
When AIs Outperform Doctors: Confronting the challenge of a tort-induced over-reliance on machine learning
I wrote this piece in collaboration with my long-time pal and We Robot co-founder Michael Froomkin and our genius colleague in machine learning, Joëlle Pineau. In it, we observe that someday, perhaps soon, diagnostics generated by machine learning (ML) will have demonstrably better success rates than those generated by human doctors. In that context, we ask what the dominance of ML diagnostics will mean for medical malpractice law, for the future of medical service provision, for the demand for certain kinds of doctors, and—in the long run—for the quality of medical diagnostics itself?
In our view, once ML diagnosticians are shown to be superior, existing medical malpractice law will require superior ML-generated medical diagnostics as the standard of care in clinical settings. Further, unless implemented carefully, a physician’s duty to use ML systems in medical diagnostics could, paradoxically, undermine the very safety standard that malpractice law set out to achieve.
Although at first doctor + machine may be more effective than either alone—because humans and ML systems might make very different kinds of mistakes—in time, as ML systems improve, effective ML could create overwhelming legal and ethical pressure to delegate the diagnostic process to the machine. Ultimately, a similar dynamic might extend to treatment as well. If we reach the point where the bulk of clinical outcomes collected in databases are ML-generated diagnoses, this may result in future decisions that are no longer easily audited or even understood by human doctors.
Given the well-documented fact that treatment strategies are often not as effective when deployed in clinical practice compared to preliminary evaluation, the lack of transparency introduced by the ML algorithms could lead to a decrease in the overall quality of care. My co-authors and I describe salient technical aspects of this scenario, particularly as it relates to diagnosis and canvasses various possible technical and legal solutions that would allow us to avoid these unintended consequences of medical malpractice law. Ultimately, we suggest there is a strong case for altering existing medical liability rules to avoid a machine-only diagnostic regime. We conclude that the appropriate revision to the standard of care requires maintaining meaningful participation by physicians the loop.
Robots and Artificial Intelligence in Health Care
May 31, 2019 Ian Kerr
This chapter, written with Jason Millar and Noel Corriveau, examines the increased use and evolution of robotics and AI in the health sector as well as emerging challenges associated with this increase. Our goal is to provoke, challenge and inspire readers to think critically about imminent legal and regulatory issues in the healthcare sector.
We begin in part one by offering an overview of the current use of robots and AI in healthcare: from surgical robots, exoskeletons and prosthetics to artificial organs, pharmacy and hospital automation robots, and finally examining the role of social robots and Big Data analytics. While great technological strides are materializing, there is a corresponding need for regulatory mechanisms to follow, ensuring a simultaneous evolution of the relationship between human and machine in order to achieve the best outcome for patients. In an era of information overload, security standards and data protection and privacy laws will need to adapt and be adjusted to ensure patient safety and advocacy.
In part two, we discuss main sociotechnical considerations. First, we examine the impact of sociotechnical considerations in changing the overall medical practice as the understanding and decision-making processes evolve to include AI and robots. Next, we address how the social valence considerations and the evidenced-based paradox both raise important policy questions related to the appropriateness of delegating human tasks to machines, and the changes in the assessment of liability and negligence.
In part three, we address the legal considerations of liability for robots and AI, for physicians and for institutions using robots and AI as well as AI and robots as medical devices. Key considerations regarding negligence in medical malpractice come into play as the duty and standard of care will need to evolve amidst the emergence of technology. Legal liability will also need to evolve as we inquire into whether a physician, choosing to rely on their skills, knowledge and judgement over an AI or robot recommendation, should be being held liable and negligent. Finally, we address the legal, labour and economic implications that come into play to when assessing whether robots can be considered employees of a health care institution, and the potential opening of the door to vicarious liability. We remind our readers that institutions will also have to consider their direct duties to patients, including their duty to instruct and supervise in the case of robots.
Our overall aim is to leverage technology to provide accessible and efficient health care services, without over- or under- regulation. We believe this will be achieved, while mitigating risks, through the development of new social, legal and policy frameworks.

The Devil Is in the Defaults
This review essay explores the concept of ‘shifting defaults’ as discussed by my dear friend Mireille Hildebrandt in her truly brilliant and absolutely indispensable book: Smart Technologies and the End(s) of Law. Although even attentive readers might mistake the subject of defaults as a minor topic within her book, I argue that they are of paramount importance to Hildebrandt’s central thesis: namely, that the law’s present mode of existence is imperilled by smart technologies.
I begin by offering a taxonomy for Hildebrandt’s ‘shifting defaults’, carving them into four categories: (i) natural, (ii) technological, (iii) legal, and (iv) normative. Natural defaults, like human memory, can be shifted by a technological innovation like the written word, which augments our natural memory, reconfiguring our brains, culture and politics in the process. Technological defaults, by contrast, can be changed only with permission. I argue that their demonstrated power to influence choice, particularly when opaque to the average user, poses a significant threat to privacy, identity, autonomy, and, ultimately, many of our other normative and legal cornerstones. Legal defaults have been developed to clarify the law in the absence of a competing intention; they exist to accommodate unforeseen situations. I argue that legal defaults are regulated by courts and legislators with the aim of promoting clarity, predictability and the public good. Finally, normative defaults point to the difficulty of influencing a ‘default of usage’ once it has been established. I liken this to the philosophical notion of a ‘hardening of the categories’, whereby an established norm can be difficult to violate without breaching social standards. A comparison of legal and technological defaults reveals the latter to be especially problematic, as the authority to shift them lies entirely in hands of private actors.
Ultimately, I argue that technological defaults should be set to maximize user privacy. A legislative mandate, 'privacy by default', could protect against technology’s proven power to shift both natural and normative defaults to influence choice and undermine autonomy. I conclude by reframing Hildebrandt’s central thesis, questioning whether the Rule of Law itself, could ever be legitimately displaced by smart technologies. Careful readers who noticed my use of the word ‘legitimately’ in the preceding sentence can probably guess what my answer is.
Delegation, relinquishment, and responsibility: The prospect of expert robots
Rapid technological development in robotics and Artificial Intelligence has given rise to a dilemma that is becoming harder to ignore. Should we continue to entrust all our decision-making to humans, fallible though they may be, or should we instead delegate decision making to robots, relinquishing control to the machines for the greater good?
This chapter, written in collaboration with my good friend and colleague Jason Millar, engages this dilemma, exploring the notion of robots as ‘experts’ rather than tools. When considered to be mere tools the true capabilities of robots may be disguised. Applying the normative pull of evidence, we argue that decision-making authority should, in some circumstances, be delegated to expert robots in cases where these robots can consistently perform better than their human counterparts. This shift in decision-making responsibility is especially important in time-sensitive situations where humans lack the capacity to process vast amounts of information, an advantage held by fast-computing expert robots like IBM’s Watson.
Here, we explore four hypothetical co-robotic cases, where we argue that expert robots ought to be granted decision-making authority even in cases of disagreement. We also address the responsibilities of robots when placed in decision-making roles, and the likely challenges we may face as a result. For example, unpredictable expert robots, acting under time pressures and without the ability to express their thinking, pose challenges for assessing liability. Overall, this chapter aims to offers a narrative of what delegating and relinquishing control to expert robots could look like, but does not assess the maintenance of human control or the trust and reliability factors that are required to make the decision to delegate.

Building Capacity for Collaborative, Inclusive Problem Solving [2 of 10]

Personal Reflections on Building Capacity for Collaborative Inclusive Problem Solving [1 of 10]
Becoming Social Architects: Together, I + U HALT Injustice [3 of 10]
Building Capacity for Collaborative, Inclusive Problem Solving
In discussing this paper and working with people of diverse communities to promote inclusion, I discovered that creating an inclusive space remains elusive, even for people who are committed to doing important work for social good. I offer a framework for building capacity for those committed to cultivating inclusive spaces.
Our well intentioned actions to help those less fortunate, when motivated by an unhealed state, may inadvertently shoot arrows at those we claim to defend from injustice. Though systemically oppressed people may develop the capacity to deflect these ‘second’ arrows and see them as unintended side effects of good intention; at some point, it is our responsibility as those who work for social justice to bring wholeness to our efforts.
Jack joins a retreat planning committee and John proposes that the retreat be located at a beautiful country facility where the group can discuss matters of social injustice and oppression. Jack notes that this facility is remote and expensive, and wonders aloud whether people of limited resources may have difficulty accessing the retreat. John ignores this comment and reasserts his preference for the facility, as a long standing member of the community others do not express different opinions; it is decided that the retreat will be held at the expensive facility. Jack feels sad that those people from his community who may benefit from the retreat likely will not be able to join; he recognizes that he has received an unintentional arrow from an unaware “helper.” He sits patiently and when he no longer feels fear or hurt, he asks John, “Why have you shot this arrow?” And John, who is unaware responds earnestly, “I did not shoot an arrow.” As Jack sits patiently, John, whose identity as ‘good guy’ fighting against injustice, blinds him from seeing himself, becomes indignant and hears the statement of an alternative perspective as an accusation, John responds angrily, “I would never shoot an arrow. I am not an archer, I am a pacifist and I worked my whole life for social justice.” Jack pauses, gently embracing the despair that touches his heart, as he encounters the same difficulty he faces daily this time expressed by the community who purports to ‘want to help’ and include people in his situation, and he says, “Yes, I understand that you are a champion of justice, that is why we are here together.” Will Jack remain open to trusting John? Would you? What effort has John made to bring a capacity for inclusion to his lifetime of social justice work? Until we can fully embrace the truth of our wholeness, we may have difficulty earning trust of those who have been chronically oppressed in order to work together to end injustice.
If we act in haste to challenge injustice, we bring our blindness, (we do not see ourselves in wholeness), deafness (we do not hear because we do not ask/listen) and arrogance (we ignore guidance from those we claim to help because we know better). Let us learn to be social architects, and together, I + U HALT injustice.

On History: Alice Marble
By Sean Kleefeld | Tuesday, June 03, 2014 1 comment
In 1941, after a very successful career in tennis, Alice Marble was hired to be the associate editor on Wonder Woman. It was a big win for publisher Max Gaines, and he touted Marble's association with the book pretty heavily. Marble was even given a regular four-page feature to highlight various "wonder women of history." Brian Cronin wrote up a good summary of Marble and her short career in comics.
I was browsing around for some basic background information on Marble, and came across several endorsements she made in the late 1930s and early 1940s, when her popularity was at it's peak. Here's a few ads I happened across in Life magazine... They're really reaching with that tooth powder ad, in my opinion. And the other two aren't exactly pitch perfect either. Which leads me to think that Marble understood the tenuous nature of fame and celebrity, and was taking full advantage of her notoriety to lend her name to just about anyone who was willing to pay her. I mean, she didn't even pose for special publicity shots for any of these -- those are basically just stock photos that are dropped in.
In seeing these, then, I was skeptical of her actual involvement in Wonder Woman. Gaines did get a photo of her reading an issue that he used in his various announcements about her appointment, but I'm left wondering how much she work she actually did. She's creditted with writing those "wonder women of history" segments, but was it any more than her suggesting a individual to focus on? Or just the concept in the first place?
What Cronin notes, though, which I don't often see repeated, is that Marble actually followed Gaines lead a bit in getting celebrity endorsements. Cronin specifically pulls out the examples of Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey, where we have proof that Gaines sent them copies of the book and they provided some pull quotes for him. Marble followed up on that idea, and sent copies to prominent female figures of the day. Not just form letters, either, as we have copies of different letters. Even those written days apart, while they share some of the same language, are tailored for the individual recipients... While it's still possible that these letters were written by someone else and simply signed by Marble, there's certainly a decidedly more active involvement here than in her shilling for Logines watches. Despite her short tenure at All-American Comics and the seeming ongoing-celebrity-endorsement-status of her position, it would seem she took the job seriously and made a concerted effort at it. One can't help but wonder if she would have stayed with it and what she might've done if she hadn't left the medium after her miscarriage and death of her husband.

Loser develops ministry of listening
Posted by joelkilpatrick on Jun 15, 2011 in 2003-2008, Photo, Square photo | Comments Off on Loser develops ministry of listening
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Dave Albrecht, a self-described “less-than-success,” says he is happy to have discovered his ministry: letting others give him advice.
“Everyone at church comes up to me in the foyer with that ‘Let’s fix Dave’ look,” he says. “I don’t mind where I’m at in life, but people get a huge kick out of telling me what to do.”
Albrecht’s career as an auto mechanic fizzled last year. He then dropped out of ITT Tech mid-semester; his current plan to sell encyclopedia software door to door isn’t going well either.
All of which has made him “an advice magnet,” he says. That annoyed him until he realized he was performing a ministry of validation just by listening. Now he lets believers bestow their spiritual wisdom on him whenever they like, and he always acts grateful.
“If everyone has wisdom, but nobody to share it with, what’s the use?” he says. “I’m the guy you give it to.”
Young men in particular think they “are able to identify my gifts and tell me what I should do with my life,” Albrecht says. “I give them my receptive-and-repentant look and say, ‘You’re right, man.'”
He even credits his small group’s longevity to the Dave-advice sessions they have every few months, disguised as a mutual encouragement time.
“I’m doing a real spiritual service by being there for them,” he says. •

Otorhinolaryngology /oʊtoʊˌraɪnoʊˌlærənˈɡɒlədʒi/ (also called otolaryngology and otolaryngology–head and neck surgery) is a surgical subspecialty within medicine that deals with conditions of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and related structures of the head and neck. Doctors who specialize in this area are called otorhinolaryngologists, otolaryngologists, ENT doctors, ENT surgeons, or head and neck surgeons. Patients seek treatment from an otorhinolaryngologist for diseases of the ear, nose, throat, base of the skull, and for the surgical management of cancers and benign tumors of the head and neck.

Etymology[edit]
The term is a combination of New Latin combining forms (oto- + rhino- + laryngo- + -logy) derived from four Ancient Greek words: οὖς ous (gen.: ὠτός otos), "ear", ῥίς rhis, "nose", λάρυγξ larynx, "larynx" and -λογία logia, "study"[1] (cf. Greek ωτορινολαρυγγολόγος, "otorhinolaryngologist").
Training[edit]
Otorhinolaryngologists are physicians (MD, DO, MBBS, MBChB, etc.) who, in the United States, complete at least five years of surgical residency training. This is composed of six months of general surgical training and four and a half years in specialist surgery. In Canada and the United States, practitioners complete a five-year residency training after medical school.
Following residency training, some otolaryngologist-head & neck surgeons complete an advanced sub-specialty fellowship, where training can be one to two years in duration. In the United States and Canada, otorhinolaryngology is one of the most competitive specialties in medicine in which to obtain a residency position following medical school.[citation needed]
In the United Kingdom entrance to otorhinolaryngology higher surgical training is highly competitive and involves a rigorous national selection process.[citation needed] The training programme consists of 6 years of higher surgical training after which trainees frequently undertake fellowships in a sub-speciality prior to becoming a consultant.

Topics[edit]
Free Muscle Transfer[edit]
In this type of surgery, a surgeon harvests a muscle from the back or from the abdominal region for reconstruction of the skull or the cranial vault. Latissimus is another word for back in the medical field as well as rectus abdominis which is your abdominal area. The muscle is sometimes useful for sealing off the central nervous system in ones body and allowing it to heal the complex wounds. A study was down with five patients who underwent the free muscle transfer for a smile reconstruction. Two of the five patients prior to this surgery had failed their first free muscle transfer. The next two patients had vascular anomalies and one had a previous distal ligation of the facial vessels. In three of the cases, they used a submental vein, and in all the cases they used a donor submental artery. “In all 5 the gracilis vascular pedicle comprised a muscular branch of the profunda femoris together with its venae comitantes, with the artery and vein ranging in size from 1.0 to 1.5 mm and 2.0 to 2.5 mm, respectively. The submental artery provided an excellent size match in all cases, ranging in size from 1.0 to 1.5 mm”(Faltaous AA, Yetman RJ).[2] The first patient was a 45 year old woman who developed a dense flaccid right facial paralysis at the age of 33. The second patient was an 8 year old girl who had developed dense flaccid left facial paralysis after a laser treatment at four weeks for, “bilateral infantile segmental hemangiomas in the distribution of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (V3). “(volume 38, issue 10). The third case was a 19 year old male who had developed a segmental right facial paralysis after a excision of a infantile parotid hemangioma at the age of 2. The fourth case was a 20 year old woman who had developed dense flaccid right facial paralysis after a biopsy of a pontomedullary junction tumor at the age of 2. Lastly, case five was a 19 year old woman who had incomplete flaccid left facial palsy.
Free Bone Transfer[edit]
Bone defects are often the most difficult reconstructions as it requires precise alignment. Bone transfer is commonly used for the mandibular reconstruction, but it now allows surgeons to use it for the midface and the orbito maxillary. If for some reason the fibula is not available for transfer, another option the team may go is using the back rib free flap. This allows the transfer to give the bone volume for the patients. The earliest first bone transfer was done all the way back in 2000 BCE when the Peruvian priest implanted a metallic plate to reconstruct the contour defects of the religious trephination. In 1668, a man by the name of Jobs van Meekeren reported the use of dog bone grafts to reconstruct the calvarium in the soldier. “…the ideal of the future: the insertion of a piece of living bone which will exactly fill the gap and will continue to live without absorption.”(The Epitome of Medicine).
Free Skin and Free Fat Transfer[edit]
The radial forearm is the most commonly dominant use of flap to be used to coverage up damages. Today, the anterolateral thigh flap is being used on patients for the head and the neck because it has an ideal match for the site and it is easy to harvest. If a surgeon chose to remove/harvest the tissue, safe places are the following; skin, skin and fat, fat and fascia, or just the fascia by itself.
Microvascular reconstruction repair[edit]
Microvascular reconstruction repair is a common operation that is done on patients who see a Otorhinolaryngologist. Microvascular reconstruction repair is a surgical procedure that involves moving a composite piece of tissue from the patient's body and moves it to the head and or neck. Microvascular head and neck reconstruction is used to treat head and neck cancers, including those of the larynx and pharynx, oral cavity, salivary glands, jaws, calvarium, sinuses, tongue and skin.The tissue that is most common moved during this procedure is from the arms, legs, back, and can come from the skin, bone, fat, and or muscle.[3] When doing this procedure, the decision on which is moved is determined on the reconstructive needs. Transfer of the tissue to the head and neck allows surgeons to rebuild the patient's jaw, optimize tongue function, and reconstruct the throat. When the pieces of tissue are moved, they require their own blood supply for a chance of survival in their new location. After the surgery is completed, the blood vessels that feed the tissue transplant are reconnected to new blood vessels in the neck. These blood vessels are typically no more than 1 to 3 millimeters in diameter which means these connections need to be made with a microscope which is why this procedure is called “microvascular surgery.”

Wolves 2-1 United: 5 Matters Arising As Wolves Devoured United Again.
Manchester United 'repeated the Wolves exam' and failed again in the same examination hall (Molineux stadium) this evening, scoring the same 'marks' (scoreline of 2-1).
Here are five matters arising from this second failure.
1. THE THREE FRONT MEN
With Marcus Rashford out injured, Olè's choice of Lukaku, Lingard and Dalot turned out to be a calamity. Lukaku clearly lacked match fitness having just returned from injury (but he was still the best of them).
Dalot was surprisingly missing in action. He was first seen in the 68th minute!! Lingard deserves a full point and so will not be discussed yet.
2. WORST OF JESSE 'AWILO' LINGARD
This was probably Lingard's worst performance in a United shirt. After his initial first minute run and goal attempt, he shut down.
Lingard ended the match without creating a chance, completing a take on, intercepting a pass or making a tackle. To spice it up, he missed a one-on-one free header. How he played 90 minutes remains a mystery.
3. FRED AT THE DOUBLE.
Fred played at the base of the midfield today in place of Matic. It was a day of 'ice-cream and Alomo bitters' for him as he gave two assists; one for United and one for Wolves.
To be fair to him, he was unlucky today as he had a decent game only dented by the error that led to Wolves equalizer.
4. MCTOMINAY'S DAY.
This was arguably Scot McTomininay's best performance in a United shirt. Playing in the place of Herrera, the young academy graduate was fired up.
He scored his first senior United Premier league goal in classic style and could have got more, having missed two good chances. He was absolutely buzzing today.
5. LOST POGBA.
Paul 'Ikenna' Pogba continued exactly where he left off against Watford as once again the French man looked lost.
He looked like one who wasn't sure where he was supposed to be or what he was supposed to do on the pitch. A very poor performance from the world cup winner.
IN THE END, Manchester United started the match brightly like a halogen bulb but ended it like a kerosene lantern. Our top-four tires have been punctured.
Condolences to Ashley Young who was unfortunate to receive Mike Dean's 100th red card in the Premier League. What a landmark card!!
UP NEXT, Barcelona....Stay Tuned to ManUtdNaijaFM
Was it an unlucky game, or a bad game for United?

MINI to Base New Model off of Crossover?
Over the last year we’ve heard some rumbling that the MINI Crossover didn’t justify the cost of the development as a single model. To put it frankly BMW needed to create another iteration off of the same chassis to make the accountants sign-off on the deal. However it’s only been recently that we’ve started to see real signs of their plans. According to British Magazine Autocar, MINI is planning on a five door two wheel drive model that sits on the same chassis as a way to make the crossover chassis development eventually profitable.
The car will is expected to help round out the MINI range and provide a more efficient people moving option for the MINI brand over the R60 crossover. The expectation is that these additional models will push the brand over the 500,000 mark that will allow research and development programs to finally stand on their own outside of BMW. Autocar expects that we should see some sort of teaser at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Sounds like a remake of the Austin Maxi to me…that BMC Landcrab of the early 70’s to 1980! Yech…nothing like the bean-counters running the company!
DUDE! says:
Gad!
Exactly. Bean counters and greed ruining a great brand and a great product. Way to go BMW!
Mk1 says:
Condolences. Where do we send the wreaths?
bee1000 says:
Nobody’s ruining “the brand” by expanding the line-up. There are only so many people in the market for a sporty 3-door hatchback with no room for adults in the backseat. Those people bought Minis.
Shockingly, in 2005, Mini made optional an automatic transmission in its Cooper S model. Much rending of garments followed as the Mini faithful bemoaned the dumbing down of the precious brand. Interestingly, those who wanted to shift for themselves still were allowed to buy manual transmissions.
Then Mini brought out the Clubman so people who wanted a sporty hatchback, but needed a usable backseat, could buy Minis, too. Interestingly, people who didn’t need a usable backseat were still allowed to buy the original 3-door model, with or without an automatic transmission.
From there Mini could either go bigger or go smaller to reach additional customers. Other than the oddball Smart, there has been been little to no market for smaller-than-Mini cars in the US, so they decide to go bigger with the upcoming 4WD SUV. Interestingly, the smaller models will continue to be sold, with or without usable backseats, with or without automatic transmissions.
Now Mini can either start over and spend a zillion dollars to develop a new platform, or try to create a 2WD variant based on the SUV’s platform. I can certainly see where it makes more sense to go the latter direction (although the article linked to is dated 7/2/08, which puts in the category of old news), and I know that it doesn’t matter at all to me because I’m still allowed to drive my Cooper S with its useless backseat and manual transmission. Should I tire of it, I still am allowed to buy a new Cooper S with a useless backseat and manual transmission. Hopefully all the new, ever more expensive variants will keep Mini profitable and around for a long time to come, lest all Minis, with or without backseats and automatic transmissions and 4WD and barn doors, cease to exist.
Bee, I am not totally disagreeing with you, but you have to keep in mind that in this economic climate auto manufacturers have to plan their moves very carefully in order to avoid costly pitfalls. BMW is not exactly a Toyota or GM when it comes to cash resources and while they are better positioned than the latter, last year their sales went down 90%. Whatever cash they have now has to be saved for the future in anticipation to further market declines as no one really knows how 2010 will be.
I still think an SUV is simply a poor product decision for MINI to make (Sorry Gabe, I know this annoys you and your faithful readers to no end) and spending money and resources on a product that will sell in the $35K-$40K bracket is pretty risky at best.
BMW knows well that these are very different times from when Porsche launched the controversial Cayenne SUV. So the R60 is a huge risk of all sorts. I do not understand the car industry fascination with the CUV/SUV segment. There is nothing wrong with estates/station wagons (Clubman anyone?) and simply adding a 4th door to the Clubman would probably had been sufficient instead of offering a vehicle with no real off road capabilities and limited cargo space for top Dollar charge.
Gabe says:
@C4: Check those stats again on sales. And I have no idea what your talking about in terms of being annoyed. I could care less.
“Profit” down 90% for 2008, not sales I stand corrected.
Beavers says:
Bee1000 –
goat says:
Perhaps there is a silver lining here? Will the 2WD R60 = RWD R60?
JonPD says:
While I am still not a fan of the R60 and consider is wrong in more than one way.
Developing a second car from the platform makes great sense. Shared manufacturing is one of the best paths to producing enough numbers to offset development costs. I have heard that Mini needs to see around 500,000 of the R60 platform to offset the development cost. By including what will likely be a cheaper version of the R60 platform this should help. The article makes some good points for sure.
Bee1000 Where I live I actually see more Smarts now than I do Mini’s. While I know their numbers for this rubbish car are no were near Mini’s sales I do believe that they have become a iconic car to a lot of people. I personally don’t have any issues with the size of the current Mini although I do prefer smaller cars yet and much less weight. I can say that I will be checking out the 500 and GiTo (if it comes stateside) and of course will be watching the Project I development.
James Irmiger says:
Evolve or die. Sell the same car long enough and people loose interest. Look at a couple of very stoic brands, like Saab and Volvo, that very rarely change their designs and you’ll see two brands struggling to stay afloat. Saab’s as good as done for and Volvo is a case of too little too late. People get bored with the same old mid-cycle refreshes and want to see a brand that is pushing boundaries with new product lines. Though I never expected MINI to go in this direction.
I think the inherent problem we all feel is that these new models fly in the face of what we expected from the brand. “The anti SUV” is no more. The idea of less is more is out the window. The expectation of 60’s style chopped variants of existing designs into vans, wagons, and cute little off-roaders never materialized. We drank the MINI cool-aid but times have changed drastically and we’re still reeling from the shock and disappointment.
I too am flummoxed as to how MINI can stay relevant without offering fence-sitters more options and choices. I don’t see their new developments as greed-motivated, but rather as ways to evolve.
I don’t think it has to always be bigger-is-better. Perhaps the micro-MINI is going to help. But it seems good to remember, even the Clubman is a small car in the scheme of things. Every car model gets bigger every 4-5 years, and the MINI brand is still cool and small when you look at it that way. So evolve or die, I tend to agree.
Mar 18, 09 at 10:29 am
I will not harp on this, but developing a suv is less than evolution, instead of coming up with a unique product like they did with the original R50 they have developed the same car that just about every other manufacture has. I tend to think Mini’s power comes in at providing unique developments not the standby of the rest of the car industry.
I quite honestly believe that long term the US will be looking harder at items like whats been going on in Europe. Wagons are much more usable than SUVs in great many ways. I would have much rather seen Mini develop a true 4 door wagon out of a extended Clubman. I also believe there is plenty room at the bottom of the brand, the Smart is a prime example of this.
M. Dillon says:
I agree with the above individuals who understand that MINI has to expand its’ lineup to stay profitable.
Last time I’ve checked,people who can afford a big SUV are now looking for SUVs that sips less feul;not to mention,smaller in size. Plus,anybody who keeps up with the car business knows that SUVs/Trucks tend to have higher profit margins…
…the same profit margins to bankroll a 2-seater,AWD MINI drop-top in the future,perhaps?(Wink,Wink,nudge,nudge,to BMW/MINI Management)
…uh-oh,I forgot to spell check: “feul”=”fuel”
lavardera says:
If there is any risk with the R60, and I doubt it won’t be successful, the risk is reduced by producing more models on the platform. Did you even read the article? I’m not sure what kind of logic delusion you all are sniffing, but please spare us, please.
I have a question, and someone that knows more about this feel free to correct me.
My reasoning is, since MINI is part of BMW and BMW already has around 10 different models (or more) of cars and SUVs; why is it that MINI always uses the argument that the MINI brand needs to expand to be profitable?
I’m going to over-simplify here, but in the end, isn’t the MINI just another model in BMW’s lineup? Why do they need to keep expanding MINI instead of viewing the Cooper as an expansion to BMW’s current model offerings?
That way maybe they don’t need to create all these other MINI models and they can spend more time on tweaking and perfecting the current Coopers, and make them truly stand out in their segment.

Lav if that commentary was directed my way, not following you. In my first comment was saying more models on a common platform was a good idea. The article states Mini needs to produce 500,000 R60 platforms to pay for the development.
While I expect that the R60 will sell, I do have to wonder how long it will take them to even recover the development costs let alone move into the profitable area. This is something more models sharing the platform should help with. I also expect that funds are pretty tight at Mini so future developments may live or die depending on the success of this model. Guess part of my fear is that they will still be paying for this development when they begin the redesign of the next generation coupes which depending on the funding from BMW could affect what they do.
JonPD, yeah, I’ve read your posts on the MINI crossover, and your many responses to people simply posting their take on it. Stepping out of the MINI universe for a second, the MINI crossover is not really an SUV like you say, so I am going to disagree with you that it’s more than an evolution.
The reason being, it’s still a small vehicle, all things considered, and the U in SUV/CUV is utility and I don’t think many Americans are going to think SUV when they see it. I could be wrong. AWD and ride height aside, I think people will still see a smart alternative car, which is what MINI stands for in American, is evolving to stand for, in my opinion. So, I do not think MINI has lost the mission statement with this car until I see it in person.
As far as your observations about wagons, and how America will look to Europe, I have read this for years and have seen no evidence of it happening here in the States. I like wagons as well, especially the Audi Avants, but I do not see non-specialty drivers looking to Europe, nor do I see wagons as inherently better than the CUV movement that has taken place to reign-in the excesses of SUV’s.
A wagon with a sporty-engine like we all like to drive could conceiveably get worse mileage than a conservative engine in a crossover, so the moral high ground that some people point to when they talk about wagons is somewhat muddy. (Is an Audi S4 wagon from 2006 a smart car to be driving, at 17 mpg city?) Just to say, to each his/her own. Many factors are in play.
Looking at the entrenched desire for psychological protection on the road via a higher stance, and the perception that wagons are weak-sauce design-wise, I don’t see any movement in the USA toward wagons. Do you? I don’t defend SUV drivers, one just hit my car in a parking lot due to the driver’s poor visibility, but I am merely saying what is. Small hatches, perhaps, are catching on. Maybe some argument can be made about that turning into an affinity for wagons. I’d be interested in data that proves this.
With all of this out there, MINI introducing a car like the crossover strikes me as, yes, an evolution on the idea that smaller is better.

Firstly – the Maxi was not called the “Landcrab”. This moniker was given to the Austin/Morris 1800 – the biggest FWD Issigonis car after the Austin/Morris 1100. BMC made bigger models not expand Mini in size. Secondly – there are smaller cars being made in Japan and Europe than the MINI which is a big car in comparison. Obviously USA market does not take these models because of the outdated thinking that “bigger is better”. Thirdly – Japan’s Suzuki make a very sucessful range of small cars. The Swift a 4 dr hatch, and a bigger SX4 crossover. Finally – You don’t have to keep making newer models bigger in size. Why BMW cannot make a car with decent leg room in the rear is a mystery to me.
To expand the previous post. BMC and Issigonis were onto a winner with the Mini. They then applied the same thinking and made the Austin/Morris 1100 (USA name Austin America) a bigger 4 door with same engine/gearbox set up. Then followed the Austin/Morris 1800. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMC_ADO17, and even bigger 4 dr with same basic engine gearbox design but using the “B” series engine as in the MGB. A slow revving clumbersome car. So BMC increased their range with new bigger models not expand the Mini in size. Ironically the 1100 and 1800 range was dropped and the Mini survived for 41 years without getting bigger or redesign. What we have to remember is that MINI is a make/marque, not a model. The name MINI is an unfortunate name to give to a brand especially if you keep making bigger models. Most people call R50 and R56 BMW Minis anyhow.
Viley says:
I’m not taking sides, just pointing that now on streets whenever I see a MINI not only is it more likely that it’s an R56, but also that a middle aged woman is driving it. So a bigger version of their “neat, cute car” will sell. Sad to say, us enthusiasts are outnumbered, and even more sadly, we’re not the ones bringing MINI/BMW their profits, so this R60 will happen, and the brand will continue to dilute to appease the masses of “cute car” craving middle aged women. Realize, they’re trying to make a profit, not history.
As a personal biased side note: please please MINI consider the speedster concept for production next!
Hoover says:
I’ve posted this before, but this is a variant that I would get behind, and buy. I am not sure about the US market, but I would think that global sales would greatly increase if it was priced right. I just wonder how this would impact the Clubman.
While I think MINI should offer a ONE model and MINI D in the US I don’t think expansion into a “Crossover” would MINImize the brand, but expand it. Variations on a platform of one model isn’t going to do it alone. I just hope, not seeing it, it’s not going to be too large.
Large SUV’s have been about status more than practicality. Most people don’t need them. A small Crossover 4×4 may not be appreciated by purists, but the classic Mini explored these areas also.
New micro car? That’s cool too. It will simply strengthen MINI in the long run.
dbhouston says:
Bee1000-
Thanks and well said. And now, I’ll go drive my tiny MCS with no room for adults in the back seat until I sell it and buy a Clubman with at least room for my kids. (Manual Transmission, of course.)
Aussom says:
If MINI go down this path, could they possibly produce a variant with the Clubman suicide door on both sides to make the back seats more useful / accessible without jeopardising the appeal of a 3 door?? I think this possibility will cover the “middle ground” and generates a suitable compromise between the 5 door SUV and the 3 door coupe.
I just want to thank all of you posting your opinions on this article, whatever they may be. This has been some of the most insightful, informed, adult dialogue I’ve read on Motoringfile in a long time. Maybe it’s just nice reading something other than “dude, this sucks”, “dude, you suck”, “dude, where’s my car?”. Thank you.
yeah, yeah, thats fine, but if you try to hug me I’m going to slug you.
Can I hug you Lav?
I suspect these larger vehicles will reduce resale values of the existing hardtops. I postulate that a lot of the demand for the smaller vehicles is related to the brand itself, not the size. So someone wants a MINI, not necessarily a coupe, but right now they buy the coupe anyway. In the future, the coupe will be of interest only to people who both want a MINI AND want the small size. Future customers who want a MINI may opt for the larger vehicle for practical reasons, and that will reduce demand for the coupe (or even clubman).
I bet you’re wrong.
While I doubt the R60 will drop the value of the coupes there is little doubt that it will affect its sales along with the Clubman as there are more than a few people in the SUV crazed US that would opt for the R60 if it were available. Think the one saving grace will be the cost of the R60 that will make this decision much harder as the R60 is no doubt going to be the most expensive base MINI to date.
Greg Dominguez says:
I have an 09 MCS and I am hoping a 4WD R60 will replace my 4Runner.
Chris Harte says:
Since Mini is recognised as its own brand, I think we should see the Mini One in the US, along with the Cooper D, to give more model options. A Mini One in the US could fill in the market where people buy $15k cars. I have no complaints with the R60.
MINIme says:
bee1000 – Thanks for making sense of this. You are right on target with your commentary.

I don’t understand nuclear physics either, but that doesn’t make it wrong…
JonPD wrote, “Wagons are much more usable than SUVs in great many ways.”
Name them! Almost anything a wagon can do, an SUV can do better. Try driving through high water in a road-hugging car vs. an SUV with higher ground clearance. If the SUV is equipped with AWD or 4WD (my preference), it is a heck of a lot safer on a slippery surface. Mind you, I realize you can buy wagons with AWD, and that is all well and good, but you can not argue that the sheer utility value of an SUV is exceeded by that of a wagon.
Does anyone remember the VW Beetle? Was it “ruined” when VW introduced the Type 181 or it’s predecessor, the Kubel Wagen? The two automobiles shared a lot of the same components, yet the “Thing” was an early SUV and the Beetle a coupe. It did not destroy the brand. It gave VW lovers an option. MINI is just giving the people an option. As I have said previously, if this ruins MINI, they weren’t on solid ground to begin with…
MINIme, your answer baffles my intellect. Try harder next time.
C’mon kiddies…let’s play nice. There is an appeal and a market for the R60 and the wagon.
The wagon is going to preferable to those who prefer a more “MINI looking” car. I’m hoping that it just looks like an extended wheelbase version of the coupe, but with 4 doors and a hatch. The lower center of gravity is going to be preferable to the enthusiast, and will make the car arguably safer. The extended wheelbase (I can’t recall how extended it really is going to be) in this iteration should make this a better touring car as well. Throw in AWD, and this makes for an extremely usable and safe vehicle for almost all real world driving settings. (This would be my choice, although, if it makes it more affordable, I would probably just stick to a 2WD version).
The R60 is going to be preferable to those who prefer a little increased visibility, capacity, and ground clearance. I would doubt that the ground clearance offered here would offer much more utility for everyday driving, but, for those that might make occasional, light duty off-road jaunts, or trips up to the snow, it might make more sense.
And, of course, the way the vehicle looks is going to draw different buyers. For example, I really liked the idea of the Clubman, but certain elements of the design would prevent me from ever buying one. Others dig its quirky elements. As I posted before, I do wonder how the Clubman would be impacted by this model. Would it make sense to continue its production alongside this wagon variant?
C4- What intellect? I can’t baffle what you do not possess…
True MINIme that the higher ground clearance of SUVs generally give more clearance than wagons. Then again After living in Colorado for many years and driving through everything from high water to ice storms cannot think of the last time I was stymied by the lack of clearance or matter of fact the need for AWD. I don’t hack AWD but truly its not much more than a panacea to make people feel better most of the time. Its true that there are times and places for a higher clearance AWD, however even those people that live in areas of the world that do have extreme weather might need vehicles like this truly once in a blue moon.
I can also ask just how many times have we all seen SUVs involved in horrific crashes with smaller cars? laying on their sides or tops due to the invincible AWD along with a raised center of gravity? I don’t think the R60 is likely to be nearly the problem child full sized SUVs are just touting their superiority over other vehicles is a lark. Most wagons tend to carry much less weight than most SUVs and this alone makes them more suitable both with safety on the road and fuel economy.
All true, but just does not matter at all. Time to get over it.
Dr Obnxs says:
For those of you wondering why Mini has to grow even while under BMW wings, it has to do with chassis dev costs. The Mini chassis isn’t shared with any thing. BMW has no FWD cars, and so Mini chassis dev stands alone. Mini needs to grow the diversity of offerings to reach critical mass, or they have to partner with other companies in chassis/powertrain dev, otherwise dev costs will drive the price of the car out of it’s market. The Tritec and now the Prince engine (and the original Toyota sourced? diesel) all are examples of sharing the dev cost burdon, and the same thing has to happen with chassis.
What’s most interesting here, is that 500k units a year means a second factory, or more capacity from partners like Styer. The R60 AWD was to add 80k a year in capacity, to the ~240k a year, and that’s almost 200k a year to small for 500k cars a year. At 500k cars a year, you can bet the model range will be larger, as will the dimensions of some of the cars.
Life will go on……
MINIme, I do not waste my time reasoning with idiots of your caliber…
indi says:
However you want to call it: station wagon, SUV, crossover, just give me four doors and a standard hatch (no suicide door and barn door please) and I am fine. I like MINI’s style and driving experience. But I long for increased practicality (yes, style and practicality can co-exist!). I agree with many who said that even a four door version would still make it a small car. Think “MINI” as a brand, rather than “very small” and many of you will get over the “ruining the brand” resentment. When BMW introduced the 3 series, many said the sky was falling, the 3 turns out to be BMW’s biggest success. There are many many MINI lovers out there that have somewhat different needs and preferences. It is in MINI’s best interest to reach out to them and make money at the same time. Yes, evolve, or die. MINI is doing the right thing in terms of product planning. The only complaint that I have is still “the dealership is too far”. It is a big negative from “practicality” standpoint. Whatever cars they come out, I will just hold on till I can reach a dealer within 30 minutes. –in Seattle
Hey Gabe,
How about a little intervention regarding C4’s last remark? Come on, what is this turning into?
I respect everyone’s opinion on the R60. I am just tired of reading it daily…
The comment section have been shut down because C4’s latest comment. This is a very public warning that these kind of comments will not be tolerated.

Mindanao Peace Advocates Conference (MPAC) – MPAC was born in 1990, in a time when “peace advocacy” was not yet popularly used. The peace talks between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) became major challenges to the peace advocates. Community efforts were undertaken by MPAC’s member-organizations through the Tulunan Peace Zones and the Quick Response Teams. Through the years, MPAC’s programs and services have developed which now include the following: Advocacy and Popularization of Success Peace Stories; Documentation and Theory-building on Local Peace Efforts; Consensus Building on Selected Advocacy Issues; Life Giving and Life Sustaining Skills Training; and Advocacy on active Non-violence for Peace.

Mindanao Peoples Caucus (MPC) – is a tri-people, multicultural and interfaith network of Muslims, Christians and Indigenous leaders. Formerly known as Mindanao Tri-people’s Caucus, MPC was established during the Tri-peoples Grassroots Dialogue organized by the Initiatives for International Dialogue (IID) in April 2001 in response to the challenge of peace-building work among the tri-peoples (indigenous peoples, Bangsamoro and Christian settlers). MPC is composed of more than thirty five (35) grassroots organizations coming mainly from Carmen, Kabacan, Matalam, Pikit, Lanao, Sultan Kudarat, and Maguindanao. These areas are the so-called “hot-spots” or conflict areas where the major camps of the MILF are located. MPC envisions a sustainable peaceful coexistence among Indigenous Peoples, Bangsamoro and Settler communities of Mindanao. It understands that the acceptability of peace will depend upon the mutual respect of these three groups, and a development process which is sensitive to the concerns of each community.

What does "SPQR" mean?
Senatus Populusque Romanus - the Senate and Roman People; also usually quoted as "the Senate and People of Rome". The "que" suffix is "and"; "Romanus" is an adjective. Professor Silvia Giorcelli Bersani explains more.
Do I have to practice Roman religion to join?
Absolutely not. We have absolutely no interest in the private religious lives of any of our citizens. All that's required is a love of all things Roman. Although most of our citizens are currently Polytheists of one ilk or another, and the public "State" religion of Nova Roma is the Religio Romana, we do not require ordinary citizens to practice Roman Polytheism. Magistrates, because they are not only civil servants but also have functions within the Religio Romana, must at least be willing to fulfill those religious functions.
Do I have to be of Roman or Italian heritage to join?
As before, absolutely not! Just as persons of any race or nationality could become Roman citizens, so too is the right of Nova Roman citizenship open to all.
How does Nova Roma deal with women?
Ancient Roman society was rather patriarchical. While we are endeavoring to recreate most aspects of classical Roman culture, we are updating some of the more backwards views of our illustrious ancestors (slavery being the other big one — we wouldn't allow it even if it were legal). Women in Nova Roma are completely free to vote, hold office, become members of the Senate, and so forth. As far as the Religio Romana goes, there are some offices that are women-only, some that are men-only, and some that are open to both. While we recognize the differences between women and men, neither is held to be superior to the other.
Do I have to know Latin or Greek to join?
Not at all. While a cursory knowledge of Latin might be helpful in understanding some of the terms and phrases you'll see both on our web site and in some of our publications, it is in no way required. Several Latin courses are now taught online at Academia Thules.
Are you serious about the sovereignty thing?
Yes, we are completely serious about our declaration of sovereignty. However, we are also very realistic and do not expect to function as an actual sovereign nation with our own territory in the foreseeable future. We look at it in three ways; as a long-term goal towards which we can reach, as a very convenient way to organize the administration of Nova Roma (especially given our Roman orientation), and as necessary for the full and complete restoration of the Religio Romana (since many religious duties were inherently tied to the State).
Is this just some kind of role-playing game?
No. We're far more than some "role- playing" game! The culture and knowledge left by classical Rome can still make a positive contribution to the modern world. Nova Roma is a serious attempt to provide a place where those interested in the various aspects of the classical world can begin to turn that cultural legacy into a living system once again.
With Fortune, Nova Roma is growing into something very "real" indeed. We are gaining citizens at a steady (and increasing) rate, and more and more "local real world" meetings and events are becoming possible. There are now over a thousand Nova Romans... running real-world classical-oriented businesses through the ordo equester, hosting public gatherings such as Roman Days and the annual Conventus Novae Romae in Europa, organizing sodalitates (clubs) around classical subjects concerning everything from brewing to philosophy, holding legal religious services, helping to fund serious archaeological digs, and even participating in real-world politics as an international "culture and people."
Can I be a patrician?
With very few exceptions, new citizens will join the plebeian class. Access to the patrician class is by birth or adoption into a patrician family.
So what's the difference between patrician and plebeian?
Functionally, almost nothing at all. In fact, there are a few magistracies (such as the tribunus lebis) that can only be occupied by citizens of the plebeian class. Patrician status was really included as a way to honor those families which came on-board at a very early stage of Nova Roma and were therefore instrumental in our early history.
What's a spelt cake (or far cake)?
One sometimes encounters the term "spelt cake" in texts about Roman religious rituals. It is a cake made from the grain far, traditionally used as an offering given agricultural deities such as Ceres or Tellus. Note that the word "spelt" is a mistranslation of the Latin word "far", which in fact is the grain which in English is called emmer.
How do I form a Collegium of Wicca (or of Asatru, Islam, etc.)?
The simple answer is, you can't. Strictly speaking, the official Collegia are based on historical Roman models and are specifically involved in the practice of the revival of the historical Religio Romana. While the Senate can officially recognize religious institutions outside of the Religio Romana, they will only do so for historical reconstructionist groups of traditions that were actually present during the classical Roman era (such as the Mithraic Mysteries, the cult of Isis, the cult of Dionysus, etc.). Since Wicca, Asatru, Islam, Amerindian religion, etc. weren't known to the classical Romans, they really have no place in the public religious life of Nova Roma. This in no way says that citizens cannot practice these faiths in their private religious life; this restriction is strictly applied to "official" public religious expression.

Misc update (Georgia)
Part of the Wikileaks' trove of diplomatic cables included those relating to the Russia-Georgian war which took place August 2008 in South Ossetia. Some have taken it as vindication of the Georgian position that they did not start the conflict. Example: "... The ambassador’s supposed account of the events (published in English) contradicts the view espoused by many in the international community that Georgia sparked the fighting by attacking South Ossetia in a bid to reclaim the secessionist region. The documents instead suggest that South Ossetian separatist fighters initiated the fighting..." (here)
Others, however, interpreted the facts differently, and noted that most "facts" reported by the U.S. ambassador relied entirely on Georgian government sources... Example: "... The New York Times, which has received the State Department documents so far released by WikiLeaks, commented on Wednesday that these reports by the US embassy in Tbilisi were not based on any field intelligence but rather solely relied on information from sources within the Georgian government. The cable contained no evidence that the Ossetian attacks after the cease-fire had actually occurred and played down the only independent account, which came from military observers in Tskhinvali from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe,” the Times reported..." (here)
The foolishness of choosing arbitrary points of origin for the conflict, and wanting to have distinct 'guilty' and 'innocent' parties is manifest - clearly the "war" resulted from a long series of actions and reactions over a period of years, with multiple provocations and plenty of bad faith on both sides...

WWII FUEL TANK CONTAMINATES GUAM GROUNDWATER
SAIPAN, CNMI (Marianas Variety, June 19) - A recently removed old military aboveground fuel storage tank in Tanapag, Guam, has contaminated groundwater there.
As of yesterday, fuel continued to surface in a pool of groundwater 4 feet deep.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Division of Environmental Quality first noted the presence of fuel in the groundwater on Tuesday of last week.
As of yesterday, the EPA had yet to determine the volume of fuel that is contaminating the groundwater.
The pool of groundwater, measuring about 12 feet by 35 feet, remains where fuel tank no. 6 used to stand. A visit to the site showed that the EPA and DEQ, with the help of private contractor Pacific Environmental Resources Inc., were still siphoning the fuel from the groundwater using a vacuum truck.
"We tried to suck the fuel out on Thursday but it didn’t work until last Saturday, when we used the vacuum truck. So this is...
SAIPAN STRUGGLES TO MEET COST OF FUEL
By Gemma Q. Casas
SAIPAN, CNMI (Marianas Variety, June 29) – The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. is struggling to raise the money needed to pay for fuel that has to be bought every three days.
CUC spokeswoman Pamela Mathis said they must raise US$200,000 every three days to buy fuel for the privately operated power plant 4 in Lower Base on Saipan.
CUC, she added, is sometimes not able to raise the needed amount as customers usually don’t pay their bills until a day before their power and water supplies are to be disconnected.
"Our cash flow is low. Instead of paying on time, people pay a day before or on the day of their disconnection so there’s no cash flow to pay for the fuel (at power plant 4)," said Mathis.
Last week, power supply on Saipan was rationed every two hours for nearly two days due to an engine trouble at the main power plant and to fuel shortage at power plant 4.
Mathis said CUC’s financial problem is compounded by the islands...
PNG SCRAPS PLANS FOR $600 MILLION GAS PLANT
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, June 20) – In what could be a major blow to Papua New Guinea’s intention to process gas onshore for export, the Government had instead opted to sell wet gas to Australian customers without properly amending the Oil and Gas Act.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Petroleum and Energy Sir Moi Avei told the annual South-East Asia Australia Offshore conference in Darwin, Australia, that the Government decided not to build the US$600 million (PGK1.9 billion) gas plant linked to the Papua New Guinea to Australia gas pipeline project. He said the decision was to accommodate an additional customer of the Papua New Guinea Gas Project.
"Because of a certain customer we have made concessions to allow limited wet gas (liquid rich gas) to Australia," Sir Moi told the MarketWatch publication.
Industry analyst said yesterday that the Oil and Gas Act was not fully amended to allow for wet gas to be exported to...
SAMOA TO PURSUE CHINA TOURISM MARKET
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Radio New Zealand International, June 20) – Samoa’s Visitor Bureau says it expects China to provide the biggest growing tourism market in the future.
The Chief Executive Officer of Samoa’s Visitor Bureau, Reupena Matafeo, says the latest figures show good growth in both arrivals and money spent by tourists from Australia and New Zealand.
He says there are offices marketing Samoa in London and Berlin and some work has just got underway in Japan.
But Matafeo says they hope to open an office in China before the end of the year and then work on improving the transport links:
"Hopefully be able to convince them to organise direct flights from China to Samoa because at the moment they have to go via New Zealand," he said.

NIUE GETS GENERATOR, LIMITED POWER
SYDNEY, Australia (ABC News Online, June 5) – Power has been partially restored to the tiny Pacific island nation of Niue after a fire wiped out the country's power supply six days ago.
Engineers have installed a new diesel generator flown to the island by the New Zealand air force at the weekend.
Basic electricity and water supplies have now been restored to Niue's 600 homes.
The island's premier, Young Vivian, says the pressure is now on his government to find a sustainable long-term solution to Niue's energy needs such as wind and solar power.
"And we are very much aware that it is very expensive to keep this little nation going and some of the things you take for granted in New Zealand and Australia, we do not take that for granted here," he said.
The Island should have power fully restored in a few days.

MAD TAXI DRIVERS HALT TOURS IN VANUATU
By Len Garae and Marc Neil-Jones
PORT VILA, Vanuatu (Vanuatu Daily Post, May 30) – Bus and taxi drivers in Vanuatu may not be aware they might have closed the door to the international tourist market when they barred the passengers of a world respected research ship from leaving the wharf on two pre-booked excursions on Saturday morning.
Jubilant drivers boasted how they successfully stopped the buses with their passengers from driving away – using tables and their own vehicles at about 8 a.m. on Saturday.
A driver who claimed to be their spokesman and a provincial committee member representing Malampa Province said the Endeavour was listed with visiting tourist liners and no one had advised them it was a research vessel.
[PIR editor’s note: Malampa Province is located in the central part of Vanuatu, just northwest of Shefa Province wherein the capital of Port Vila is situated.]

GUAM VISITORS BUREAU FIGHTS MINIMUM WAGE HIKE
By Gerardo R. Partido
SAIPAN, CNMI (Marianas Variety, June 27) - The Guam Visitors Bureau is drafting a position paper opposing the bill to increase the minimum wage here.
During its last meeting, the agency’s board of directors agreed to let Visitors Bureau general manager Gerald Perez explain the bureau’s position opposing the minimum wage.
Last week, the Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association and other business groups already testified against the bill, arguing that the tourism industry is still not on solid footing despite the recent increases in the number of visitor arrivals.
According to the Visitors Bureau an increase in the minimum wage may also dissuade much-needed investors from putting money into the island’s tourism industry because competing destinations offer much lower wages.
The Guam Chamber of Commerce, in written testimony sent to the Legislature, pointed out that the tourism industry is still very fragile and that even if...
REPORT SAYS FIJI RURAL WATER SYSTEMS NEGLECTED
SUVA, Fiji (FijiSUN, June 12) – Water problems in rural Fiji have received little attention in the last 30 years of independence, the Ministry of Regional Development’s 2003 report tabled in Parliament recently revealed.
And, it said, it was an area of concern that the Central Division hopes to alleviate in the future through programmes designed to eradicate water problems.
It noted that in the past 30 years of independence, regional schemes focused entirely on tourist destinations in the Western Division and the main administration centre in the capital.
It also said that little had been made to address the plight of rural dwellers that really need assistance for water. And the review of the rural water supply policy is a need that can assist the eradication of water problem.
However, the provision of tanks to localities without any water source is of the highest priority demand that can reduce government's commitment to supplying emergency water....
PNG OFFICERS TO TRAIN SOLOMON ISLANDS POLICE
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post-Courier, June 6) – Papua New Guinea yesterday sent four senior forensic police officers to Solomon Islands to help with investigations into the April 18 unrest, where buildings were burnt down. Also this year the Bomana Police College outside Port Moresby will start recruiting and training Solomon Islands police.
Solomon Islands High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea Bernard Bata’anisia yesterday told the Post-Courier the country’s Foreign Affairs Minister Patterson Oti met with Papua New Guinea Police Commissioner Sam Inguba to iron out the details of the training and the assistance from the Papua New Guinea Government. The Papua New Guinea officers to Solomon Islands include Chief Sergeant Gaspar Logoson, a finger print expert who is also the team leader, Senior Constable Felix Rayabrum, document examiner, First Constable Ronald Yaneku, expert in arson cases and crime scene examiner and Constable Samuel Koi, the forensic photographer...
TONGA KING TO RETURN TO CELEBRATE 88TH BIRTHDAY
NUKU’ALOFA, Tonga (Matangi Tonga, June 26) - Tonga’s King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV will return to Tonga on Saturday, July 1, in time for the celebration of his 88th birthday on July 4.
The official program of the celebration will be released before the end of this week, but according to Suka 'Otukolo, the Senior Assistant Secretary at the Palace Office, the celebration this year will be similar to that of last year.
Preparation for the return of the king is well underway, and the renovation of the verandah of his white-framed Victorian palace is expected to be completed before Saturday.
Suka said that the renovation work is carried out by the Ministry of Works, "it is not the first time that the palace has been renovated, but this time it is solely to replace the verandah’s old timber floor."
With regards to a multi-million pa'anga project for a new Royal Chapel that was approved in the budget for the current financial year, Suka said that the project had...

PTJ 170 News: Duck and Cover
December 9, 2015 J.D. Biersdorfer Leave a comment
Technology plays a part in all modern wars, doesn’t it? The recent uptick in violent terrorist attacks around the world has politicians looking at the situation with Internet in mind. While the hacktivist collective Anonymous has been having a go at Islamic State for months now — and has even declared December 11th to be a trolling day for online hassling — presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants American tech companies to join the battle. And, over in France, the police forces there are asking for more powers during state of emergencies. According to a report in Le Monde, French law enforcement has asked to block free and shared Wi-Fi connections during an official state of emergency and also outlaw communications over the Tor network.
Several companies around the techsphere are making little tweaks and changes to their services. Google announced that it was turning on its protective Safe Browsing warning system for Chrome users on Android so it can warn mobile users about malware and phishing sites just like it does on the desktop. The company also blogged that you can now set up Reminders in Google Calendar alongside your scheduled appointments.
Dropbox and Facebook are both pulling a Google in terms of shutting down certain underperforming apps and services. Dropbox announced this week it was giving its standalone Mailbox and Carousel products the hook and Facebook closed the door on its Creative Labs division.
AT&T continues to roll out its GigaPower gigabit Internet service around the country and said this week is was bringing the fast fiber to 38 more cities around the country. Metro areas getting the glass include LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Pensacola, Louisville, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Memphis, Milwaukee and several other locales. Google Fiber, meanwhile, is flirting with Chicago and Los Angeles.
Mozilla is helping out iOS users who are getting pummeled by web ads. The company released its free Focus by Firefox content blocker this week. The app works with the Safari browser for iOS 9.
Apple seems to have hear the pleas of those with extensive music collections and has now upped the number of tracks matched by iTunes Match from 25,000 songs to 100,000. The increased capacity is rolling out slowly, so if you don’t have the extra space yet, just keep checking. The company also released a $100 Smart Battery case for the iPhone 6 and 6s that claims up to 25 hours talk time or 18 hours of LTE data-surfing time on a charge.
In NASA news, the International Space Station hasn’t had a Fresh Direct delivery in months thanks to a couple of failed cargo missions earlier this year, but a supply capsule launched on Sunday finally reached the station this Wednesday. NASA’s involvement with the International Space Station could be winding down in the next decade or so, however, as an agency official at an advisory council meeting this week said NASA plans to get out of the low-Earth orbit business as soon as possible as it looks to the moon and beyond for its explorations. And father out in space, high-resolution images of Pluto taken during the July flyby of the New Horizons spacecraft are arriving back here on Earth. A sample:
Twitter announced this week that it’s going to stop cropping photos posted in tweets. The next time you post a photo or see one in your feed, you should see it as the photographer took it and not some weird little detail of a lather image. Also in the Twitterverse…it’s December, so it must be time for the Top Twitter Trends for 2015.
Also looking at trends: Sandvine’s Global Internet Phenomena Report, which is out now. The report, which crunches data from more than 250 communications services around the world, takes a look at just how people are using their Internet connections.
And finally, it’s the holiday season, and tech toys for children are hot this year. As one might expect, interactive toys, like drones and robots, are very popular this season. Toys that talk back to your kids through a combination of voice recognition and networking are also getting a lot of attention, and even seemingly old-school categories are getting a tech upgrade. Hello Barbie and Edwin the Duck, interactive versions of the unrealistically shaped tiny woman and the yellow bathtub waterfowl respectively, are two such items putting a spin on the old analog formats and opening up new worlds. But, with the recent VTech hack, general privacy concerns and the state of Internet security in general, make sure you know the risks — as well as the rewards — with Internet-connected toys. It’s the season of giving, but you don’t want to give away anything to hackers and data stalkers.

PTJ 150 News: Sorting It Out
Apple released an update to iTunes this week that’s intended to correct the “scrambled library syndrome” that afflicted some users after updating to iTunes 12.2. As described by a writer over at Macworld, the iCloud Music Library feature was completely “screwed up.” While the damage was contained mainly to iTunes, it’s yet another instance of Apple pushing out buggy, untested software updates on its users. The iTunes 12.2.1 update is intended to correct these issues, but as the 9to5Mac site points out, be very careful when you’re going through your music library removing tracks that got infused with the copy locks so you don’t delete the unrestricted versions. Apple has a support document that tries to help.
Apple accused Amazon of getting the Department of Justice to do its bidding on e-book price fixing a few years ago, a case that Apple recently lost on appeal to the tune of $450 million dollars. But what comes around, goes around. This week, several publishing groups, including The Authors Guild, the American Booksellers Association, the Association of Authors’ Representatives and Authors United, sent letters to the Department of Justice asking officials to investigate Amazon in antitrust violations. Amazon’s lawyers should be warmed up, as antitrust regulators in the European Union are already investigating the company.
Turmoil at the Reddit site continues to grow, as the firing of popular employee Victoria Taylor earlier in the month led to a user uprising, lots of misogyny and then the resignation of chief executive Ellen Pao. If that wasn’t enough of the drama llama, Reddit’s former CEO Yishan Wong came out with a post this past weekend that pinned Taylor’s firing on the site’s co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who let Pao take the heat for it. Reddit’s chief engineer Bethanye Blout also quit her job this week, saying she’d lost confidence in the company’s direction. Ohanian’s fellow co-founder Steve Huffman is now in the CEO chair.
Comcast’s leapfrog over Google Fiber in the speed department is big — and comes with a big price tag. The company’s Gigabit Pro service, which promises 2- gigabits per second of blazing download speed compared to Google Fiber’s 1-gigabit per second, will cost $300 a month. (If you sign on for a two-year contract, though, you can get it for the promotional rate of $159 per month, however.) But that’s not all. Fine print on the Comcast site says installation may take up to 6 to 8 weeks, and then come the installation and activation fees, which could be up to $500 each. Speed also kills your wallet, too.
Even if you have regular Comcast Internet service, though, the company is thinking up ways for you to give it more of your money — like with its new Comcast Stream service, announced this week. For $15 a month, Comcast is promising a bundle of broadcast TV channels plus HBO and some on-demand movies, along with a cloud-based DVR. This would all be viewable on your computer or mobile devices, but as Wired points out, there is a catch — you actually have to be home using your Comcast Internet service to use Stream and only two devices at a time can use it simultaneously. You also need to live in a Comcast Internet service area. The service is due out later this year starting in Boston, Seattle and Chicago.
Also in the hot seat this week: Adobe Flash. Facebook’s security chief Alex Stamos issued a tweet earlier this week saying that it was time for Adobe to announce the end-of-life date for the security-addled multimedia software. Mr. Stamos’s death wish for Flash came after yet another security patch and warnings about other vulnerabilities just in the past week or so. Citing security concerns, Mozilla is also now blocking the all versions of Flash plugin in the current version of Firefox.
The end of the month is drawing closer, which means Microsoft is getting ready to go all out for its Windows 10 launch on July 29. (Worried about your software still working if you dare to upgrade? See if your stuff at least works with the Windows 10 Technical Preview over at the Windows Compatibility Center.)
And finally, gamers around the world are mourning the death of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Under his leadership at the company, Nintendo released the DS handheld, the Wii console and interactive toys. Mr. Iwata passed away from a bile duct growth this past weekend at the age of 55 and Nintendo fans took to social media in tribute. We here at Pop Tech Jam send our condolences to his family.

Service number : 10630599
Date of death : 1st November 1944 aged 28
Buried : Commemorated on Singapore Memorial, Singapore, Column 111.
Relatives : Son of Harold and Rose Barber, of Pershore, Worcestershire
Additional information on the memorial: Army Catering Corps
Appears on the Army casualties list for Worcestershire.
The following report appears in Berrow’s Worcesters Journal, 9th October 1943:
The recent official news about Pte. Alfred Thomas Barber, of Pershore, who was posted as missing a year and a half ago, considerably modifies, but does not altogether remove the anxiety of his father and numerous relatives, for no personal information from himself has been received since his last letter home on December 29th 1941. He is the third of the four sons of Mr Harold and the late Mrs Barber, of Bearcroft, Defford Road, Pershore. His father has been for many years rural postman on the Drakes Broughton and Peopleton route. In civil life Pte. A.T. Barber, who is nearly 24 years of age, was a baker and confectioner for Mr R.J. Derrett, of Little Comberton. He went abroad as a cook attached to an anti-aircraft battery. He was stationed in Malaya when the garrison of Singapore capitulated in February, 1942, and he is now officially reported to be a prisoner of the Japanese in a camp in Borneo.
The report includes a photograph of Pte. A.T. Barber.

Media Morsels 9.3.10
American Idiot in the Media
The incomparable Idiots went into the AOL Sessions studio recently to try to capture on film some of the magic of the show. It’s a beautiful thing, and for now it’s the closest you can get to having the Idiots perform in your living room. (A gal can dream, right?) Check out the entire American Idiot Sessions section for six (6!) musical performances, including those amazing, fierce and inspiring women singing "Letterbomb"; pictures of the cast; a “behind the sessions” video; and a video Q&A with Michael, Rebecca, Tony, Libby, John, Christina and Stark.
The talented (and handsome) Michael Esper recently invited Broadway.com into his dressing room to capture some of his favorite decorative items, including an “I want to cuddle with you” card from some very special supporters.
Sesame Street Gets Some Visitors
Sesame Street turns 41 this year. The seminal show from the Children’s Television Workshop will return to PBS for its 41st season on September 27. And guess who’ll be stopping by throughout the season: Taye Diggs and Idinia Menzel, recent Emmy winner Kyra Sedgwick, Amy Poehler, Jason Bateman, LaDainian Tomlinson and foodie Alton Brown, among others. As you wait for the start of the 41st season, check out this video of Elmo interviewing recent Emmy winner Neil Patrick Harris.
Dancing in the Streets (of Washington DC)
I knew I liked FLOTUS: Seems Michelle Obama will be inviting several dance companies to perform at the White House for The White House Dance Series: A Tribute to Judith Jamison. Invited dancers include members of Alvin Ailey, The Washington Ballet and New York City Ballet. The event will take place this Tuesday, September 7 at 5pm. The event will be streamed live on whitehouse.gov. Tune in!
Sore Losers
After HBO swept the movie/miniseries category at the Emmys this weekend, several networks are whining about the category’s inclusion in the Emmy broadcast. They say that that portion of the show slows down and that viewership drops; that perhaps HBO and the movie/miniseries category should get its own broadcast. I disagree. I think these are the grumblings of sour grapes. As my brother pointed out, if we’re to follow this logic, should AMC get its own broadcast or should people be hating on AMC since, between Mad Men and Breaking Bad, it pretty much swept the drama category? And moreover, viewership dropped at that point because it was late in the broadcast. If that’s the concern, then switch the order. But HBO deserves its time in the sun just as much as any other channel. The networks should just make better programming; then they’d win some awards.
Farragut North on Film
In fall 2008, the Atlantic Theatre Company gave Beau Willimon’s Farragut North its New York City premiere. It’s a great behind-the-scenes political drama, sort of like a less idealistic, but still incredibly realistic, The West Wing. Oh, that and it starred one John Gallagher, Jr., who gave a thoroughly compelling performance. Since before it came to New York, I’d been hearing buzz about it being turned in to a film, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal and George Clooney all attached at one point or another. Now, according to New York Magazine, the film is set to start shooting this upcoming February, with Clooney behind the camera. Taking on the role originated by Chris Noth will likely be Philip Seymour Hoffman. Filling in for Isaiah Thomas will be Paul Giamatti. Marisa Tomei is also in talks to appear. An offer has been made to Evan Rachel Wood, a terrible replacement for the very good Olivia Thirlby. But, to my mind, the most egregious replacement is in the pivotal lead role of Stephen, brilliantly brought to life on stage in NY by Johnny: He’s going to be played onscreen by Chris Pine, who played the role in the play’s LA premiere. True, I haven’t seen him in the role so I have no idea what he’ll do with it, but John was soooo good! I suppose I should reserve my judgment until there’s something to judge; plus, I’ve really enjoyed Clooney’s last two directing ventures so I guess, like George Michael says, I gotta have faith.
Glee Scoop
Well, not so much scoop as this: Ms. Lea Michele is on the cover of Glamour magazine! The lovely and talented Michele graces the cover of the October issue, which arrived in my mailbox this week. Michele looks beautiful and effervescent and like she’s having the time of her life. How glamorous! Pick up your copy today and visit glamour.com for more.
And, just so I don’t leave you without any Glee scoop, here’s a video sneak peek at the new season!
Bloody Bloody News
Bloody Bloody is coming to Broadway in less than three weeks! The Original Cast Recording was supposed to be released on September 21, but, thank Thespis, my copy arrived today!!! It’s awesome – I’m so super psyched to see it again on September 20 for its first preview. Visit sh-k-boom.com to order your own copy today so you can, like me, dance around your house singing, “Populism, yea, yea!”

Games Beaten 2014
Re: Games Beaten 2014
by alienjesus
Having played Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Batman and Lego Harry Potter with various people at various times, they're basically all the same. In fact, if anything, Lego City Undercover looks to be the most unique one. I probably wouldnt buy it if you wern't a fan of that game - they're pretty repetitive and similar.

7. Ketsui Extra- PS3
8. Tomb Raider: DE- PS4 (Platinum Trophy)
My first Tomb Raider game, and wow...what a game! I never did play the original back in '96, so better late than never I suppose. Although this version is a 'reboot' I still may go back and play the original. The story for this Tomb Raider was good, the gameplay was fun, and the graphics were outstanding! Really not much I can say bad about the game, other than maybe it was a bit too easy and the MP trophies (but these can be skipped if you don't care about trophies/cheevos). Since techically the game came out in 2013, I'd put this as my #3 best of 2013...just ahead of GTA V.

Yeah the new TR reboot was amazing and kinda came out of left field. I've been tempted to get the DE edition several times, I just have too much other stuff to play and since there is nothing new other than graphics ...

10. Drill Dozer (GBA)
I beat Drill Dozer over the weekend. It is a cute, polished, and unique platformer developed by Game Freak, the team behind Nintendo's Pokemon games. During the game, your character pilots a machine - the titular Drill Dozer - that can drill through a variety of objects whenever you press the R trigger to spin its drill clockwise or the L trigger to spin its drill counter-clockwise. Throughout each stage, you acquire two additional gears that allow you to "shift up" to a higher power level, drill through objects more quickly, and operate the drill for a longer period of time. Finally, the game has a unique rumble feature that provides tactile feedback whenever you operate the drill at different speeds or shift between gears.
The drill mechanic creates some interesting gameplay. For example, many gaps in the game can only be navigated by drilling into a surface and then "reversing out" of the surface very quickly. Likewise, certain projectiles during some of the game's excellent boss fights can only be deflected by spinning the drill one way or another, and navigating certain tunnels in the game requires spinning the drill clockwise to move forward or counter-clockwise to move backwards (or vice-versa). The developers squeezed everything they could out of the drill mechanic, and the game is brimming with challenging platforming puzzles.
Finally, the game looks and sounds great. The graphics reminded me very much of Treasure's delighful 2D platformers on the Sega Genesis and Gameboy Advance, and the music was reminiscent of Capcom's Mega Man games.
That said - and despite the fact the game can be beaten in a couple of hours - the levels drag on a bit too long, and the developers should have focused more on the game's excellent boss fights (i.e., they should have added a lot more of them). The bonus levels are short and very, very challenging, but unlocking all of them would require me to replay the main levels in search of chips (i.e., the game's currency). The game, while fun, is not so much fun that I feel compelled to sink a few hours retracing my steps, but for those of you who enjoy it more than I did, there is certainly plenty to do once you have completed the story.
In sum, I enjoyed the game, and I respect its design immensely. I also consider it to be one of the best original platformers on the Gameboy Advance, and I recommend it - with a few reservations - to anyone who owns that system.
I am still playing through the bonus content in Wario Land: Shake It! and Little Big Planet - both of which are great BTW - so it may be a while before I get to something else on a console. (I am actually enjoying the bonus levels in LittleBigPlanet much more than the story levels.) I do plan to start another portable game soon, however, but I am trying to choose what genre I should tackle next (since I am a bit burnt on 2D platformers at the moment). Any suggestions?

Games Beaten 2014:
1. GTA V(360)
2. Brothers(PSN)
3. Infamous(PS3)*
4. Infamous 2(PS3)
*=replay
Infamous 2 overall was a solid sequel the graphics and voice acting were top notch and game play was just as enjoyable as the original. Really liked the improvements to the power although I didn't care for how they stripped so many of them from you at the get go. Was especially disappointed at the lack of Thunder and Rocket skills early on. The new powers made up for it though there was a good amount of customization for each skill which gave you options to change the everything from burst pattern, rate of fire, accuracy, and element type. Plus you could swap the majority of your skills rather easily through a quick swap menu. They also greatly improved the maneuverability of Cole by adding enhanced thrusters, special jumps, and even a grapple ability later in game.
The only down side to the game was the lack of bosses. There are really only two big bosses in the game and you will fight them multiple times. Each time is a rather boring experience as well. Sure the enemies are 5-6 stories high but they are so slow that it basically becomes a boring run and gun segment each time they pop up. The game does have a large variety of minibosses but none of them were that amazing and they are used very frequently. Each time one appears it turns into a 3-4 minute affair of hosing them with damage until they die at which point the game pauses so you can watch the same death animation over and over .
Finally the ending was crap. It was a great concept and story wise it is memorable. However the game play sucked the final boss was a complete let down with the more advanced abilities it was probably the easiest fight of the game. In all honesty the first boss which happened about 5 minutes into the game was more challenging then the final battle .
Overall it's worth playing though and I might end up getting a PS4 sooner rather then latter if Second Son goes well.
Now on to Remember Me(PS3). Man am I ever loving Playstation Plus the free games are amazing really kicking myself for not getting a membership earlier. Hell I even have all the Vita games that I have been wanting to play even though I don't have a Vita lol.

14.) Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX)
15.) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD Edition (PS3)
16.) Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PSP)
In playing through the Metal Gear games, next up after MGS3 was Portable Ops. Kojima’s involvement in this one is much less , but it has been confirmed as canon.
My expectation was that the game would be VR Mission-ey, breaking down missions into chunks that would be more suited to short play sessions on the PSP. That much is the case, but, Portable Ops also adds a recruitment/squad system that serves to make things a bit more complicated.
I think it works on several levels – it works for the story, it works for incorporating multiplayer, and it (could) work for making bite sized chunks of Metal Gear more interesting. In practice though, the recruiting is tedious, making stocking your various teams a chore. You get four items on a character, I guess to encourage swapping between squad members during missions, but in practice it means needing to swap things around just to pick up random items.
In turn, because of the changes, I think the game lost a lot of the little touches that really make Metal Gear games stand out. Almost none of the clever item use, finding the “right” way to get past bosses, those kinds of things. I think it means to replace that with replaying the game/missions to fill/level up teams, recruiting extra characters, and so on, but those things aren’t that interesting for a simple playthrough.
Another issue that came up with the model they used is keeping the atmosphere and pacing up. On paper, the story and characters are decent, but in practice, you don’t see enough of either. Even the boss fights are fairly mundane, if not just cheap. Apparently someone –really- liked the Volgin fight in MGS3 where he blocks nearly everything…because half the boss battles in Portable Ops are like that.
As annoying as some of the issues are, it can still deliver the compartmentalized MGS experience. When it came out, it likely had little equal on a portable. Now, however, we have Peace Walker, which (so far, I’m maybe 1/3 through it) fixes basically all of the above without just scrapping the whole system. It’s like going from Metal Gear to Metal Gear 2 – same basic concept, far better execution.
In turn, I feel Portable Ops belongs at/near the bottom of the pile for canon games, and it’s easy to see why it got left out of the collections

#6 Last of US - Left Behind
Yes I am counting this as a game of its own. I paid for it separately thus it is a game of it won LOL.
I really wanted to comment on it though. I thought it was pretty good, but could have been longer or more informative to the story. Was it enjoyable, yes. Was it worth 15 bucks, well I have two answers for that. Yes and no.
It did give some back story and was I felt slightly more intuitive in the challenges set forth to you. It seemed like they refined it a little, let you do things slightly different. I am not saying what on purpose as to not ruin anything for you. Not even spoiler tagging it as those are so damn tempting.
TOO DAMN SHORT - give you more you hairy assed bastards!!! Really my only complaint, I wanted more gameplay and they left a little story out I wanted filled in on.
People who like or do not mind digital and want a Last of Us fix should go and buy it. If you do not like digital or DLC then you should avoid or get it on sale.

Virtua Cop & Virtua Cop 2
More saturn goodness. First time I've ever beat both games back to back and with the "proper" endings by playing the levels in order.
I said in the random thoughts thread that I'd like to smash both the Sonic All Stars racing games together to make one perfect game, and I think the same applies here. I like Virtua Cop's difficulty and find VC2 to be a bit cheap at times, but then VC2 has better graphics and levels with multiple paths. Then again I think VC is the tighter experience, but VC2 is more OTT in that Sega way. I never knew you could fit so many soldiers into a mid-nineties sedan.
That isn't to knock either game though, as each individually is still excellent old school reflex based fun. I love that aesthetic they both hae and you just don't get games like this anymore. Essential Saturn purchases I feel.
Wipeout 64
I was very disappointed by Wipeout Fusion recently so when I saw this cheap I hoped I could recapture the magic of 2097 and Wip3out. I was right, and was pleasantly surprised that rather than being a port of 2097, it is actually its own game in a lot of ways.
The most obvious change is the control which is now strictly analogue. This I like and in combination with the airbrakes placed on the Z and R buttons makes for a very tight control scheme. Each racer gets a different super weapon of varying effectiveness -Qirex's shield is useless, the others are deadly- and there is a pretty demanding challenge mode. It's pretty tough, but fair tough not F-Zero GX's ridiculous story mode tough.
There are a few flaws. The track look new but all aside from the final unlockable are rejigged from the previous two wipeout's. Personally though I think they're just different enough to qualify as new. Obviously the music has taken a hit. I've also heard people say the graphics are inferior to the PS1 2097. I'm not sure about this. W64 runs faster than 2097 I think but there is a decent amount of pop-up and that trademark N64 blur. Regardless, both are visually inferior to Wipeout 3 either way.
Anyway, a great game and definitely different enough from the PS1 and (terrible) saturn versions to justify picking up.

“Trillions of galaxies each contain billions of stars. A unified field of gravitational waves, black holes, and dark matter ties…”
Winslow Myers
Published in: Sierra County Prospect, Gilmer Free Press, Bainbridge Island Review
Date: October 17,18,24,2017
By Winslow Myers
“The Second Amendment, as applied in the last 30 years or so, has become so perverted, twisted and misused that you have to see it now as the second original sin in the founding of this country, after slavery.”
Trillions of galaxies each contain billions of stars. A unified field of gravitational waves, black holes, and dark matter ties the vast enterprise together. Out of this furnace of process churning through billions of years of evolutionary time our earth emerged, then biological life, then self-conscious human life. This universe we inhabit is shot through with utter mystery.
We are also mysteries to each other. For the moment at least, the motivation of Stephen Paddock’s massacre in Las Vegas remains as mysterious as the workings of a black hole. So mysteriously meaningless was the slaughter that we had no recourse but to find a crutch of ersatz meaningfulness in the many acts of selfless heroism among the victims and first responders, as we reel helplessly toward the next incident of mass murder that inevitably lies ahead.
The motivation of Wayne LaPierre, the president of the National Rifle Association, is almost as mysterious as Stephen Paddock’s. Is it money? He is paid very well indeed, approximately a million dollars a year. Is it willingness to shamelessly serve the interests of the companies that manufacture guns and ammunition?
To demonstrate the sacred-cowness of LaPierre’s vaunted Second Amendment, one need only point out that out of 200 countries on earth, only three (the U.S., along with Mexico and Guatemala) constitutionally enshrine the right to bear arms. The idea of the deterrence of tyranny by constitutionally protected caches of privately stored weapons distracts from what truly inoculates against the bacillus of tyranny: not weaponry but more active civic participation, in the context of all we share beyond our illusory differences.
The motivations of our political leaders are also shrouded in mystery, from our narcissistic president on down to Mitch McConnell and friends, proud of the enormous political power they wield, and yet placidly content to remain the weak and willing pawns of Mr. LaPierre.
In fact I find the nation of which I am a citizen to be more than a little mysterious. Who are we? We often mouth platitudes about the exceptional breadth of our freedom and prosperity, where in reality our exceptionalism seems to cluster around our unique level of bellicosity, our absurd tolerance for mass violence both domestic and international, and our willingness to countenance spending trillions for newer and better nuclear weapons when the far greater threat is human-caused climate change.
We have recently been presented with an elaborate 18-hour retrospective of the Vietnam War, outlining the historical ignorance, corruption and treachery of our leaders, the lies that resulted in years of unnecessary death on all sides, while we seem to have learned nothing from this historical experience that might apply to our present endless and futile wars.
There is a further mystery that provides one possible antidote to the mystery of all that our country refuses to admit about itself— the redemptive mystery of black spirituality. Whole peoples were forcibly brought across from Africa in chains to our young nation, which then built upon their backs our prosperous economy, a history which truncated the possibilities of African American citizens at every turn right to the present day. The mystery of the indiscriminate use of weaponry that is endemic to our culture is an all-too-terrible part of their story as well.
By all precedent blacks in America should have long since risen up in a paroxysm of destructive rage equal to Mr. Paddock’s, and of course at acute moments some have. But, in a mystery complementary to the mystery of violence, this tyrannized people as a whole have not taken refuge in nonsense like the sacredness of an amendment written long ago by people who could not imagine our nation awash in automatic weapons, but instead in healthier particulars of our constitution that enshrined black rights to full inclusivity and to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Of course for whites Martin Luther King Jr. is the most renowned representative of this black non-violent spirituality, but there are ranks upon ranks of others, dead and alive, whose spiritual depths, born of undeserved suffering (including the actual worst mass murders in American history), we Americans can draw upon as we gradually shape ourselves into a less violent culture.
The late Vincent Harding comes to mind, a gentle, loving moral giant who helped administer the freedom schools that initiated voter registration campaigns in the South. Harding also helped write Martin Luther King’s great 1967 speech at Riverside Church taking on our country for its intertwined addictions to racism, militarism and materialism.
Or the very much alive social activist Ruby Sales, whose vision of American life acknowledges race but reaches beyond it to a healing vision that includes all in our country who are hurting—the unemployed coal miner in West Virginia as well as the education-deprived black child living in a high-risk precinct of Baltimore. Perhaps her instinctive inclusivity comes from the fact that a white seminarian died blocking a bullet meant for her.
Or the eloquent polemicist Ta Nehisi-Coates, heir to James Baldwin, whose challenging essays and books demand that whites look in the mirror to find the ultimate source of deep structural and institutional violence and prejudice in our country.
These leaders and teachers point us in a direction in which we really do have the potential to become an exceptional nation, less fearful, therefore less armed to the teeth at home and abroad, less bellicose, therefore more willing to choose diplomacy and humanitarian initiatives over war, more understanding of the “other,” and therefore more willing to reach out and see even our worst enemies as having a humanity equal to our own.
In spite of all that science allows us to understand, we live, move and have our being in a context of mystery, and it isn’t going away any time soon. We can approach it in isolated fear, or in collegial wonder, gratitude, and humility—humility in the spirit of Job the prophet of old, to whose laments of undeserved pain a mysterious God replied “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?”

Casting Coup Month: Airport
Best Supporting Actress - Helen Hayes (WON)
Best Supporting Actress - Maureen Stapleton
Best Adapted Screenplay - George Seaton
Best Cinematography - Ernest Laszlo
Best Film Editing - Stuart Gilmore
Best Scoring: Original Music - Alfred Newman
Best Costume Design - Edith Head
Best Art Direction-Set Decoration - Alexander Golitzen, E. Preston Ames, Jack D. Moore, Mickey S. Michaels
Best Sound - Ronald Pierce, David Moriarty
You've seen my thoughts and feelings on Airport. Let's get right to the Casting Coup madness!
CINDY BAKERSFELD
Who is She: Mel's wife, a woman climbing the ranks of Chicago society without her husband. Realizing their marriage was dead long ago -- and citing the airport as one of the problems -- Cindy has started seeing other people. Because he chooses the airport over another society to-do tonight, Cindy goes to Lincoln personally to have it out with him one last time.
Originally played by:
Dana Wynter (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Something of Value)
My Choice: Indie Spirit Nominee for Best Actress (Woman Thou Art Loosed)
Kimberly Elise (Diary of a Mad Black Woman, For Colored Girls)
See, Cindy's not a bad person, she just has different needs that her husband is unwilling to serve. Elise can be classy like Cindy, but she can also play that complicated storyline without making her into a bitch.
INEZ GUERRERO
Who is She: The naive, struggling wife of D.O. Knowing that they're behind on the rent, the kids are living with her sister, and her husband got laid off, she's utterly confused by the appearance of a receipt for a ticket to Rome. It's not until later that she also realizes that some dynamite is missing...and becomes lost and horrified when she puts the two together.
Originally played by: Academy Award/BAFTA Award Winner for Best Supporting Actress (Reds), Golden Globe Winner for Best Supporting Actress (Airport)
Maureen Stapleton (Lonelyhearts, Interiors)
My Choice: Academy Award/Hollmann Award Nominee for Best Actress (Frozen River) and Best Supporting Actress (The Fighter), Golden Globe/SAG Award Winner for Best Supporting Actress (The Fighter), Indie Spirit Winner for Best Actress (Frozen River)
Melissa Leo (The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, Everybody's Fine)
Strangely enough, the Guerrero's are neither Spanish nor Italian. What the what? So yeah, I went to Leo when it came time for a working-class role, but for a different reason. See, we rarely get to see Leo in a weakened state, though we see her vulnerable. This would be a change-up for her, allowing her to play a woman who nothing but vulnerability. And she'd be great.
TANYA LIVINGSTON
Who is She: Public relations agent for Trans America (Trans Global in the film). Tanya is an efficient woman who takes her career very seriously. Divorced with a daughter, Tanya is strong and capable enough, but there is one man whose company she enjoys -- Mel Bakersfeld.
Originally played by: BAFTA Award Nominee for Best Foreign Actress (Breathless), Golden Globe Nominee for Best Actress in a Drama (Lilith)
Jean Seberg (The Mouse That Roared, Paint Your Wagon)
My Choice: Academy Award/BAFTA Award Winner for Best Supporting Actress (Michael Clayton), Golden Globe Nominee for Best Actress in a Drama (The Deep End) and Best Supporting Actress (Michael Clayton), Indie Spirit Nominee for Best Actress (The Deep End), SAG Award Nominee for Best Supporting Actress (Michael Clayton) and Best Ensemble (Adaptation, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Hollmann Award Nominee for Best Actress (I Am Love) and Best Supporting Actress (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
Tilda Swinton (The Limits of Control, We Need to Talk About Kevin)
She can be professional and buttoned-down, but she can also feel passion. It's that combination that she's been so adept at conveying in many of her roles, actually. Swinton likes to have fun, too -- doesn't Airport seem like the type of thing she'd do just 'cause?
JOE PATRONI
Who is He: The frank TWA menchanic who is charged with getting the Aereo-Mexican 707 off the main runway. Bad enough the plane got stuck in the mud, but that runway is the only thing standing between life and death for the passengers of The Golden Argosy. Patroni loves chewing on cigars and making love to his wife, reportedly at the same time. He's a guy who knows his job, and a few others', too.
Originally played by: Academy Award Winner for Best Supporting Actor (Cool Hand Luke), Golden Globe Nominee for Best Supporting Actor (Cool Hand Luke, Airport)
George Kennedy (Death on the Nile, Charade)
My Choice: Academy Award Nominee/SAG Award Winner for Best Supporting Actor (Cinderella Man), Golden Globe Winner for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy (Barney's Version), Indie Spirit Winner for Best Actor (Sideways), SAG Award Winner for Best Ensemble (Sideways)
Paul Giamatti (Duplicity, The Last Station)
Can he play blue-collar roughness? What do you think? I think yes, obviously, and I also think he's comfortable with a cigar.
HARRY STANDISH
Who is He: Customs official. He's trained to notice the odd behavior people exhibit when they're hiding something, and the way Guerrero holds his briefcase makes Standish suspicious. Unable to check himself -- Guerrero isn't coming into the country, but leaving for Rome aboard The Golden Argosy -- Standish reports his suspicions to Tanya. Good thing, too: his niece is aboard that same flight.
Lloyd Nolan (Peyton Place, Hannah and Her Sisters)
My Choice:
John Cho (Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Star Trek)
I didn't think of him as being as old as Nolan. Cho is old enough to have been with customs a while -- he's thirty-eight, you know. An underused actor, really; he's more than Harold (though he's great in those films).
D.O. GUERRERO
Who is He: A demolitions man in construction, nothing ever goes right for Guerrero. Blessed with a short temper and poor judgment, Guerrero has single-handedly left his family broke. So what is his final solution? Take out a life insurance policy on himself, then detonate a deadly bomb aboard The Golden Argosy, heading across the Atlantic for Rome. A nervous, twitchy kind of guy, Guerrero is bound to screw something up. A defensive, dangerous individual.
Originally played by: Academy Award Winner for Best Supporting Actor (Johnny Eager), BAFTA Award Nominee for Best Foreign Actor (Shane)
Van Heflin (Black Widow, 3:10 to Yuma)
My Choice: Academy Award/SAG Award Nominee for Best Supporting Actor (Fargo), Golden Globe Nominee for Best Supporting Actor (Seabiscuit), Indie Spirit Winner for Best Actor (Fargo), SAG Award Nominee for Best Ensemble (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Seabiscuit, Bobby)
William H. Macy (Marmaduke, The Lincoln Lawyer)
Macy himself once joked about the amount of losers he has to play in films. The book described the character as tired-looking, with a sandy mustache. Refer to that picture above, please. Consider his desperation in films like Fargo and Magnolia and you'll understand where this is coming from.
CAPTAIN ANSON HARRIS
Who is He: Line captain aboard The Golden Argosy. He's flying tonight, but is in the middle of his six-month checkup, run by Captain Demerest. Harris is a nice guy, a flawless pilot, a man who refuses to put his personal moral standards on anyone else.
Barry Nelson (Johnny Eager, The Shining)
Matthew Fox (My Boyfriend's Back, Speed Racer)
I just wanted someone who could believably be on the same level as Hamm, not be too old or too young, who I could see as a pilot. Some actors just pop into my head when I'm reading a book; this is one of them.
GWEN MEIGHEN
Who is She: An English stewardess having an affair with Captain Demerest, she now carries his child. Gwen, a level-headed young woman and first-rate stewardess, is deciding whether to adopt or abort the baby when the whole rigmarole with the bomber begins. She is genuinely in love with Vernon, but doesn't expect anything in return...due to his married state.
Originally played by: Golden Globe Nominee for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy (Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe) and Best Supporting Actress (Under the Volcano)
Jacqueline Bisset (Murder on the Orient Express, Domino)
My Choice: SAG Award Nominee for Best Ensemble (An Education)
Rosamund Pike (Made in Dagenham, Barney's Version)
A beautiful English actress who's displayed a remarkable range of class and pluck in her film roles. She's just on the brink of filmmakers and audiences in the US discovering and appreciating her talents, and putting them to good use.
MRS. ADA QUONSETT
Who is She: An elderly widow from San Diego who frequently stows away on passenger planes to visit her daughter in new York. Caught by Tanya Livingston, she commits the ultimate rebellion by slipping out from TransAm's clutches and stowing away on The Golden Argosy. Anyplace is better than a return to California! What she doesn't realize is that the empty seat she chooses to occupy is right besides Guerrero and his bomb!
Originally played by: Academy Award Winner for Best Actress (The Sin of Madelon Claudet) and Best Supporting Actress (Airport), Golden Globe Nominee for Best Actress in a Drama (Anastasia) and in a Musical/Comedy (Herbie Rides Again)
Helen Hayes (A Farewell to Arms, TV's Murder with Mirrors)
Betty White ("The Golden Girls", Lake Placid)
Yeah, we all saw this coming. Again, the most obvious is sometimes the best, and who would be better at playing this part than Betty White? If the First Lady of the American Theatre can handle it, I think it's good enough for the First Lady of Television.
YOUR PROTAGONISTS
MEL BAKERSFELD
Who is He: General manager of Lincoln International Airport. Bakersfeld has his hands full tonight: a snowstorm tying up air traffic and burying runways; a plane stuck in the middle of the main runway; protestors from a neighboring town demonstrating outside; a looming divorce with his wife of fifteen years; and a bomber on The Golden Argosy, piloted by his brother-in-law, Vernon Demerest. Mel is a serious man, formerly a sort of enfant terrible before a promised FAA appointment went sour. He's a logical person, but he doesn't always make the right decisions. Nevertheless, if there's someone you want in charge on a night like this, it's Mel Bakersfeld.
Originally played by: Academy Award/Golden Globe Winner for Best Actor [in a Drama] (Elmer Gantry), BAFTA Award Winner for Best Actor (Birdman of Alcatraz, Atlantic City)
Burt Lancaster (From Here to Eternity, The Rainmaker)
My Choice: Academy Award/Golden Globe Nominee for Best Actor [in a Drama] (Hotel Rwanda), BAFTA Award Nominee for Best Supporting Actor (Crash), Indie Spirit Winner for Best First Feature (Crash) and Best Supporting Actor (Things Behind the Sun), SAG Award Winner for Best Ensemble (Traffic, Crash)
Don Cheadle (TV's The Rat Pack, Iron Man 2)
The novel described a lean man, and when I thought to myself, "Hm, who's a lean actor that could believably portray a leader strong enough to handle an airport?" Automatically, my brain latched on to Don Cheadle.
CAPTAIN VERNON DEMEREST
Who is He: The womanizing captain of The Golden Argosy, though he's not flying tonight. Instead, he's checking on the performance of Captain Harris, a routine checkup for all pilots every six months. Demerest hates his brother-in-law, Mel, especially after Mel allows insurance vendors inside the airport. Demerest is convinced such a thing encourages bombers and wouldn't you know it? Despite his blunt, sometimes hostile, manner with Mel and subordinates, Demerest is tender with Gwen...he even thinks that he may love her back. Oh, and he may be a pompous pilot, but he puts that money where his mouth is. Even people who hate him know he's the best damned pilot out there. It's Demerest who keeps a cool head and devises a plan for taking out Guerrero. Will it work?
Originally played by: Golden Globe Nominee for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy (Who Was That Lady?)
Dean Martin (The Sons of Katie Elder, The Cannonball Run)
Jon Hamm (The Town, Sucker Punch)
Hamm playing a womanizer? Shocking! Mais serieuse, what I like about Hamm is his combination of the cad and the carer, as Demerest definitely is. Hell, get Jon Hamm and Matthew Fox in pilot's uniforms and you've got the female audience and half the male one (Pike in the stewardess uniform is the other half). Besides, Hamm's a pretty great actor, so the more we get of him, the better.
Best Actor: Don Cheadle, Jon Hamm
Best Supporting Actor: Paul Giamatti, William H. Macy
Best Supporting Actress: Kimberly Elise, Melissa Leo, Rosamund Pike, Tilda Swinton, Betty White

Jon Hamm in Dean Martin's role? Nice.
TomS said...
I have been waiting for this for SOOO long!!
The original Airport studded the cast with a broad array of celebrities and stars popular and indicative of the era (Dean Martin, Burt Lancaster, Helen Hayes, Jaqueline Bissett). You have honored the source material more, casting for the character rather than for celebrity, which is great.
Yeah, Betty White is the perfect stowaway, and has everyone's automatic good will going for her. Leo was a surprisingly good choice...I would like to see her vulnerable side. Matthew Foxx and John Hamm...Walter, you will have to write extra scenes to contain all of this beefcake...worth several viewings!!
Tilda Swinton would bring an art-house sheen to the proceedings, which in itself would provide the production with some ironic humor...
Oh, I could go on... Now I want to watch the original "Airport" again, doggone it!
Nice job my friend.
Andrew: Encore Entertainment said...
I'll admit, you had me at Leo subbing for Stapelton. I prefer Leo when she's at her least affected (which is why I'm not all for her work in The Fighter) and then Tilda for Jean (who I'll maintain was great in the original) and then Rosamund for Jacqueline. A thousand time yes.
I'm not all for Betty for Helen, a) because it seems too obvious and b) because Betty White annoys me (ducks for cover)/
Walter L. Hollmann said...
MovieNut: get ready for the biopic...
Tom: Is it telling of me that I consider this an all-star cast? I always assume that Oscar = fame, but Hakwes and Weaver should have proven me wrong. As for Foxx and Hamm...in the book, Vernon tells Harris to change his shirt. Maybe they go to the locker rooms...?
Andrew: I went with Betty, but my only other option (in my head) was Whoopi Goldberg, and she just seems too young. Also, as a rabid Golden Girls fan...you *better* duck, sucka. ;)

Sailing in plastic
#weareallinthesameboat. This appeal was started by Alex Bellini, navigator and explorer, who, in order to bring attention to the problem of plastic in the oceans and spread a culture that is more attentive to environmental protection, embarked on a new challenge: to travel the 10 rivers most polluted by plastics in the world and witness plastics accumulating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the plastic island floating in the Pacific Ocean. The project is called 10 Rivers 1 Ocean.
Alex’s journey.
Alex Bellini arrived on the Ganges in early March. This is the first of the 10 rivers he plans to sail and he used the waste he found there to build the raft he is using to accomplish his mission. After the Ganges, he will tackle the waters of the Hai, Yellow, Yangtze and Pearl Rivers in China, the Indus in Pakistan, the Nile and Niger in Africa, the Amur River in Asia and the Mekong in Indochina.
His goal is to follow the flow of plastics until he reaches the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the floating island three times the size of France, formed by waste accumulation. The 10 rivers were not chosen by chance: according to research by the Christian Schmidt Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research in Leipzig, it is precisely those rivers that contribute to 80% of pollution into the oceans by pouring into the sea about 8 tonnes of plastic debris every day.
All the way to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
In July, Alex Bellini will row across the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, ending his adventure. Follow the initiative on http://www.10rivers1ocean.com/it/ and Bellini’s route live with GPS on https://share.garmin.com/AlexBellini.

Little-known UK site Bellingcat hunts online for scoops
By GREGORY KATZ Associated Press
LONDON — A little-known website that fingered two Russians with military intelligence backgrounds in the poisoning of an ex-spy derived its name from an old fable about mice discussing how best to deal with a hungry cat.
The mice decide that hanging a bell around its neck — "belling the cat" — is the solution, but none volunteers for the job. The investigators behind Bellingcat see themselves as the ones willing to take on dangerous tasks —in this case, exposing men accused of attempting a hit job.
The British website has scooped the rest of the media with its reports on the nerve agent attack that nearly killed the ex-spy and his daughter in England, providing evidence the Russians had identities far more intriguing than the aliases they used as supposed tourists.
Founded in 2014, Bellingcat is the brainchild of Eliot Higgins, a self-described citizen journalist. Its staff members and contributor dig through social media and open-source records to investigate crimes. The site's published work also has focused on conflicts in the Middle East, including the war in Syria.
Its latest investigation went up Monday night, when Bellingcat reported that one of the suspects in the March poisoning was actually Alexander Mishkin, a military doctor who was awarded one of Russia's highest honors by President Vladimir Putin. Bellingcat previously unmasked the other suspect as Col. Anatoly Chepiga, linking him as well to Russian military intelligence agency GRU.
British authorities charged both last month under their assumed names, saying at the time they thought the Russian men were not who they said they were. The British government has not confirmed the names published by Bellingcat, but officials have not challenged the investigative group's findings.
Bellingcat said it worked with a Russian partner, the Insider, which was founded by Russian journalist and political activist Roman Dobrokhotov. The Insider's publications have targeted official corruption, exposed fake news in state-funded media and unmasked Kremlin secrets.
When Bellingcat researchers started looking into the men accused of using the Soviet-developed Novichok to attack Sergei Skripal and his daughter, they had little to work with — only photographs of the suspects released by British police and the assumed names that they used to travel to England.
Bellingcat said it identified Mishkin using passport information, phone records, car registration records, other databases and interviews with people who knew him.

Gonzaga’s Brandon Clarke ready to show off after year of hard work following transfer
Fri., July 13, 2018, 5 a.m.
By Jim Meehan jimm@spokesman.com(208) 659-3791
Brandon Clarke doesn’t mind the endless practices, serving on the scout team, pregame individual workouts, skill development, lifting weights and conditioning.
He realizes the last year has made him a better player with a few months ahead to continue refining his game before Gonzaga opens drills this fall.
“I’m not sick of it, but it’s definitely getting old not playing games,” Clarke said. “I’m definitely ready to show the world all the work I’ve been doing in my year off.”
For now, Clarke can describe what he’s been up to and the showing will come later. The San Jose State transfer has been immersed in Gonzaga’s redshirt program, citing it as one of the reasons he picked the Zags over Oregon last August.
Gonzaga had detailed plans on the court and in the training room for redshirts (Kelly Olynyk) and prize transfers (Kyle Wiltjer, Nigel Williams-Goss, Johnathan Williams) required by the NCAA to sit out for one season. The results, beginning with Olynyk, who went from backup forward to All-American, have been impressive.
Clarke has modified his shooting stroke with the guidance of assistant coach Brian Michaelson. The 6-foot-8 forward did nearly all of his damage in the paint with the Spartans, earning first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors as a sophomore and the MWC Sixth Man of the Year as a freshman.
Of Clarke’s 542 career field-goal attempts, nine came from beyond the 3-point arc. He made 60.5 percent of his shots from a combination of putbacks, lobs and post moves. He took inventory of his two made 3-pointers and 57 percent accuracy at the foul line and knew a change was necessary.
“My shot was kind of broken last year,” Clarke said. “I really had to focus last summer to fix it. I had help from the coaches, but it’s something I really wanted to do. Once I got down that form, it was just a matter of getting up a lot of reps.”
Clarke believes he’s expanded his shooting range, which increases his versatility on the court.
“It just opens up my game entirely,” Clarke said. “Instead of players being able to sit back on me, they’re going to have to guard me up close, and that opens up many more options for my team.”
Clarke also made strides in the weight room. He was listed at 210 pounds last season, but said he’s added muscle and strength. That should help him deal with power forwards and centers in the lane at both ends of the floor.
“Hopefully, that’s something else I can show,” said Clarke, who is springier than Williams but about 15 pounds lighter.
Clarke and juniors Rui Hachimura and Killian Tillie give the Zags one of the nation’s top frontcourts. The trio’s athleticism could allow them to line up at various spots, but Clarke has proven effectiveness inside.
“He’s elite around the rim,” Michaelson said. “He draws fouls, mobile, quick and bouncy. He’s not a traditional post-up guy, but he can jump up and score it.”
Teammates use the word “jump” often when describing Clarke, who showed off his ability to rise at last year’s Kraziness in the Kennel.
“He jumps faster and higher than any human being I’ve been around,” said senior point guard Josh Perkins, who has been around several of the best bigs in program history.
“Just a little bouncy,” Tillie said. “You guys are going to be impressed by him.”
Clarke led San Jose State in rebounds at 8.7 per game and set the single-season school record with 77 blocks. He can elevate, but he doesn’t have an exact measurement.
“I know that I can kiss the rim,” Clarke said. “If you want to do the math, I’m 6-8, the rim is 10 feet, so you can probably figure out my max vertical.”
He wasn’t always a high flyer. He recalls dunking for the first time at 16 when he was 6-2. He sprouted 5 more inches by age 18.
“I was a little bit of late bloomer,” Clarke said. “My body has matured. It just came naturally with age.”
Clarke’s time is approaching with the Zags, who could challenge for the top spot in the preseason poll. He used the last year to make it a seamless transition.
“I’m loving the whole thing,” he said. “School has been very good. All of my credits transferred and I just finished up a summer school class. The city has been very nice to me. The people are very kind.
“Basketball-wise, throughout practice the last year I’ve started to learn how to fit in more and how to play Gonzaga basketball. That’s been a big part of it for me. I just can’t wait (for games), man.”

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Julia Holter has made an uncompromising masterwork with Aviary; a kaleidoscopic, 90-minute trip through the compositional cosmos. If 2015’s critically acclaimed Have You in My Wilderness was zen chamber pop for lazy days, then Aviary is what happens when Holter retreats so far inward that her brain starts to explode.
While it’s easy to praise artists for going more avant-garde, Holter has always used the contours of pop music in order to explore psychological states of being. Here, she uses a variety of baroque instrumentation— piano, sax, harps, strings, choral chanting, drone—and then wraps them around her otherworldly, often overlapping, vocals.
“Everyday is an Emergency” is a doomsday lament for the end times set to mournful bagpipes. “Another Dream” is some serious Brian Eno shit; with space age synths, fluttering harps, and processed alien vocals. “I Shall Love 2” is a gorgeous mantra of human compassion in which Holter sings What do the angels say? I shall love. “Underneath the Moon” sounds like a trip down a Tibetan river on LSD. And the list goes on and on, with Holter stretching herself further into the outer reaches. Aviary is an experiential album, but also deeply personal. Political, but not didactic. Experimental, but never alienating. Most of all, it is Holter’s most ambitious and mature work to date; leaving the listener reeling, lost in the sonic ether.

Betica Roman route
Discover each corner on the map above with the audio description of each space on the route (press the green button twice) and search for accommodation by clicking on each of the underlined cities in the text below.
The Roman civilization left its particular imprint in Andalusia in the form of constructions type city, buildings and structures. There is a bética Roman route that shows all vestiges of Roman Republican or imperial times.
calzada romana ubrique
The Roman footprint that lived for several centuries since the arrival of Scipio the African until the fall of the Roman Empire by the barbarian hordes. This Roman route Bética offers the history, the archaeological remains and the way of life that led to the Romans.
anfiteatro italica
The beginning of this route could not be other than the city of Italica. Founded in the year 206 BC as wounded camp of the Battle of Ilipa Magna. This city located on the banks of the Guadalquivir, near Seville shows us the splendor in the Imperial epoch.
In fact, its visible remains come from the time of Emperor Hadrian, his most illustrious son. In this city we can contemplate its causeways and its houses adorned with columns and its rich mosaics.
It is worth mentioning the house of the birds and its beautiful mosaic that shows these birds. These houses are inside the old walled enclosure as well as its hot springs that we can see today.
However the most colossal buildings are the Roman amphitheatre, probably one of the largest in the Empire and its theatre located in the nearby town of Santiponce.
Another place on the route is the neighbouring Seville, whose Roman name was Híspalis. If Italica was the leisure City Híspalis was the city of the trade. It is believed that the forum was located in the Plaza del Salvador.
capitel romano Sevilla. ruta romana betica
The remains that have come to us from Roman times is in the archaeological museum where we can see sculptures. Within that sculptures we can also check the city’s remains and mosaics.
Another site related to the Roman Híspalis is the Anticuarium Museum of the Metropol Parasol. Remnants of salting columns and storage structures were found during the works of this structure.
This place has become a museum space although we can see Roman remains in the columns of the Alameda de Hercules and in the street Marmols.
Not far from Seville, is Carmona, the Carmo of the Romans. In the city we can find remains even Punic however the most emblematic area is its necropolis.
necrópolis carmona
The necropolis of Carmona, is formed by a series of burial mounds and tombs with temples like the one of the god Mitra. However the most spectacular is the temple of Servilia, with a Hellenistic shape embedded in the rock and with passages with rich paintings on the passage to the other world.
Right next to the necropolis we can see its museum and its amphitheatre created in the rock itself. The museum has elephant figures from the temple of the God Mitra.
If we moved away from Carmona we headed to Cordoba, whose name in Roman was Corduba. Its most known structure is its Roman bridge through the Guadalquivir which was the south entrance to the city.
However other structures are the Roman temple, with its colonnade almost intact and the remains in the Palace of the Christian kings.
Near the city wall are the remains of the amphitheater which is in the process of digging. And from there to the entrance is the statue of the philosopher Seneca, son of the city.
templo romano cordoba
Its archaeological museum has remnants of Roman coins and statues in which we highlight the god Mitra.
Entering in the province of Cadiz we must not forget naturally its capital, with a Roman name Gades. The city was a pilgrimage center of the god Hercules in the Temple of Sancti Petri and the god Crono located in the castle of San Sebastián.
The city also has a Roman theater open to the public in days counted as well as an archaeological museum with remains of this epoch.
Heading to the Sierra de Grazalema we find the city of Ocuri, in the mountains near Ubrique. Where we can find remains of Roman roadway and also structures such as palaces, temples and a mausoleum difficult to find in that state.
Near the city of Ronda, and located on a mountain at a thousand meters of altitude, we find the city of Acinipo, a different Roman city, located in a mountain where you can see walls, Domus, hot Springs and its magnificent theatre with a dreamy landscape.
To the south and close to the beach of Bologna we find the city of Baelo Claudia, a city with remains of forum temples, streets, statue, its magnificent theatre and remainders of a salt factory. The place where the garum was created.

The Happy Prince and Other Tales (sometimes called The Happy Prince and Other Stories) is a collection of stories for children. It contains five stories, "The Happy Prince", "The Nightingale and the Rose", "The Selfish Giant", "The Devoted Friend", and "The Remarkable Rocket". It is most famous for its title story, "The Happy Prince". In the main story, a swallow meets the statue of the late "Happy Prince", which houses the soul of the original prince, who in reality had never experienced true happiness. The statue inspires the swallow to selfless acts. Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish writer and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, plays and the circumstances of his imprisonment, followed by his early death.

While flying to a warmer climate, a little swallow stops to rest in the great city. His short stay is extended, however, when he takes refuge at, and then makes friends with, the golden statue of The Happy Prince. From high atop his pedestal in the city park The Happy Prince has a bird's-eye view of the sufferings of the people of the city. But, he is powerless to do anything. When the Prince entreats his new friend to stay and help him, a lesson in kindness and caring is in store for the little bird. Beloved since its original publication in 1888, this Oscar Wilde fairy tale is now set against a modern-day backdrop and written for young readers. Stunning, evocative paintings, along with a masterful retelling, breathe new life and meaning into this classic story of mindfulness and compassion for others. An excellent vehicle for character education programming, educators will find this story a valuable addition to their libraries.

Arguably the most famous and beloved of Oscar Wilde’s nine fairy tales, this particular rendition stands apart from the others due to its brilliant illustrations by a a master of comic art. After dying young, the Happy Prince’s soul inhabits a beautiful ruby-encrusted statue covered in gold leaf which is perched high above the city. But when he sees the poverty, misery and desperateness of his people, he enlists the help of a barn swallow to remove the gilding of his statue and shower the riches on his people. In the spring, the townspeople are saved, but find only a stripped down and dull statue alongside a dead swallow. The remains are tossed into an ash heap, but an emissary of God recognizes their sacrifice, and escorts them into the gardens of Heaven. Perfect for middle school students as an introduction to the world-famous author, the dazzling illustrations in this book suit the timeless writings of Wilde.

High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt.He was very much admired indeed. “He is as beautiful as a weathercock,” remarked one of the Town Councillors who wished to gain a reputation for having artistic tastes; “only not quite so useful,” he added, fearing lest people should think him unpractical, which he really was not.“Why can’t you be like the Happy Prince?” asked a sensible mother of her little boy who was crying for the moon. “The Happy Prince never dreams of crying for anything.”“I am glad there is some one in the world who is quite happy,” muttered a disappointed man as he gazed at the wonderful statue.“He looks just like an angel,” said the Charity Children as they came out of the cathedral in their bright scarlet cloaks and their clean white pinafores.“How do you know?” said the Mathematical Master, “you have never seen one.”This edition includes:- A complete biography of Oscar Wilde.- Table of contents with directs links to chapters.

The Improbable Issue No. 3: The Permeable Border
Lisa Pearson March 10, 2015
All five books reviewed in this issue live along permeable borders—between reality and invention, between one language and another, between the author and the conjured other, and between the worlds they exist in and the one you, the reader, inhabit. The authors—Zoe Beloff, Ann Carson, Christian Hawkey and Robert Seydel—take what they (possibly) know, investigate it to find its amorphous edge, then shape a universe of possibilities, of doubt and wonder, of dislocation and connection, of human frailty and the relentlessness of the imagination.
In the case of Robert Seydel, his use of fictional personas—Ruth Greisman in A Picture Is Always a Book and S. in Songs of S.—proceeds from an artistic ambition that rejects self-expression in favor of composing a self (or selves). Seydel says (in an interview): "Walt Whitman isn't only that boy 'starting out from Paumonak,' but 'Walt Whitman, a kosmos'—that is, an invention. The artist's job, according to Robert Henri and Jasper Johns, is to invent himself . . . The point is revelation and an opening outwards, an expansion into the air of art itself." In these five books, it's precisely "the air" that makes them so different from traditional, genre-bound books.
I'll note, almost as an aside, that—so far—no issue of The Improbable has had a planned organizing principle. These relationships between the books are entirely spontaneous. Last month's collection, which had so much to do with the fragmentary and the artifactual, came into being just as this one did: booksellers choose a book, are then assigned a deadline, and turn in a piece (almost always on time!). It makes me wonder about the particular nature (or natures) of the hybrid work. Rather than "the hybrid work" representing myriad possibilities, unconstrained and unbound from traditional paradigms, perhaps certain kinds of necessity (no-other-choice) drive the artist-writer beyond purely literature or the visual arts. I'm curious as to what the next issue will bring—I hope you are too!

Songs of S. (with Maybe S.) by Robert Seydel
REVIEW BY RYAN MIHALY
Odyssey Bookshop (South Hadley, MA)
S., locked in a room, is singing. He is surrounded by dust and books about the South Pole, animals, “Paleolithic Masters,” and poetry. He lives around the corner from Emily Dickinson, another shut-in, who visits S. “in form of a bee.” And he sings and sings; in fact, he writes, “songs / dominating / everything / now –,” ending the line with his famous neighbor’s signature dash.
This is S., the creature of Robert Seydel’s imagination, an elusive figure who draws, writes, and makes collages. Songs of S. collects S.’s poetry. The poems are joyfully naïve, rhyme when they want to, and delight in rhythm and sudden imagery. They seem infinitely rereadable, fleet as they are in their imaginative associations. “Matter / & natter / of tongue / Bent, ill / or tight / as night / in a pocket / like a locket / where the horse says, run” reads one untitled poem.
Songs of S. is accompanied by a full-color booklet, Maybe S., which collects notes and drawings from Seydel’s notebooks. Here we find S. is indeed a creature, perhaps not human – whimsical stick figures and mountains with S.’s characteristic red eyes, sometimes wide open, other times peacefully shut, fill the pages. Seydel’s handwritten notebook pages contemplate S., reading at times likes a biography, critical theory, or poem about the hermetic poet.
S.’s wide-eyed fascination of the world, his near-mad imagination – his “Stimmung,” Seydel writes – is like that of Robert Walser, Clarice Lispector, and Wallace Stevens, all possessors of highly saturated creative visions. And his obscurity, leaving behind hundreds of poems, drawings, and collages in his desk, only to be found later and edited into this book, call to mind Fernando Pessoa’s trove of manuscripts by made-up heteronyms, and other “outsider artists” whom Seydel admired.
This is a book of great imagination, curious and deep, and profoundly alive. It carries a creative current that’s bound to make you smile, & perhaps sing along.
Songs of S. is co-published by Siglio Press and Ugly Duckling Presse and distributed to the trade by D.A.P./Artbook.com.

A Picture Is Always a Book: Further Writings from Book of Ruth by Robert Seydel
REVIEW BY JOHN GIBBS
Green Apple Books, San Francisco
One of the beauties of A Picture is Always a Book: Further Writings from Book of Ruth is that it's primarily a book about process. I picked it up not knowing what in the world to expect, yet found myself completely entrenched—in the best sense—within Robert Seydel's complex thought processes. It could be a result of the mercurial text itself, as it strays from prose to poetry in an instant. Or the superimposed doodles and drawings Seydel himself made upon the pages themselves—made just so they interact with the text physically. Or some strange combination of both. And the effect is two-fold. You read the book, then you see the book, each reading lending new information to what the other reading lacked, or perhaps could not suggest on its own. Once or twice through the text and you will not be able to separate image from word as a symbiotic relationship develops.
The reproductions of the writings are gorgeous. A lesser production may have settled for black-and-white images or perhaps less images printed in a smaller book. However, bursting color enhances each of the seventy-two "journal pages" included within this book (written and drawn as if by Seydel’s alter ego Ruth Greisman). The world encapsulated within these pages, Ruth's world, is fragmentary. Her commentary and observations comes just on the heels of her actual experiences—and we, as readers, experience both almost simultaneously. Take, for instance, this opening from one page (p. 61): "I. I will go outside, remembering dogs & picnics. Dust is so long it makes mtns on the streets.” The hesitancy at the outset quickly turns action, which morphs into nostalgia, which then turns into surreal metaphor. The rapidity here is breathtaking, and it slows a reader's comprehension speed down, so that we reread passages multiple times to sink completely into Ruth's world, one where the everyday collides with the absurd.
In the interview included as a kind of post-script to the work, Seydel states that his "goal was to found a way to make visual art into a form of literature." We see realist images, such as the "one HORSE, a great massive creature," upon the typewritten page. But we also see suggestive images—more so even—shapes, lines, and symbols that frame or color the text: an ominous red hand with a black hole in it beneath text that reads, "my art is a damaged thing, / of damaged things made." In moments such as these, we readers must go the extra mile to make ends meet between the two. Yet that extra mile is the reason I read, and continue to re-read A Picture is Always a Book.
A Picture Is Always a Book: Further Writings from Book of Ruth is co-published by Siglio Press and Smith College Libraries, and distributed to the trade by D.A.P./Artbook.com. The book accompanies the exhibition "Robert Seydel: The Eye in Matter" that debuted at the Mortimer Rare Book Room, Smith College in 2014 and travels to the Queens Museum of Art in July - October 2015.

Nox by Anne Carson
REVIEW BY SARAH GAGNON
Green Apple Books (San Francisco)
Anne Carson’s Nox, which is Latin for “night,” is not like many books. A physical as well as written elegy for the author’s brother Michael, it is gray, rectangular, and heavy like a headstone, forcing the reader to open the clamshell-style cover like some kind of sarcophagus in order to access the text inside. Once exhumed, you realize that this accordion-style book is meant to be read in private; unfolded, it might stretch across an entire room.
By the time Carson learns of Michael’s unexpected death in Copenhagen, his widow—who could not locate Carson’s phone number among his papers for two weeks—has already scattered his ashes into the Danish sea. The estrangement between siblings was long; facing jail time in 1978, Michael fled his native Canada for Europe and India, traveling on a false passport, intermittently homeless, never returning home. (Carson likens her brother to Lazarus “as a person who had to die twice.”) Over the course of twenty-two years he writes only "laconic" postcards with no return address and a just one single letter, addressed to his mother, to convey that a woman he had fallen in love with had tragically died.
This letter appears and reappears throughout Nox, as do other pieces of correspondence, black-and-white photographs, collages, and Carson’s own words typewritten on fortune-sized bits of paper. She invokes Greek historian Herodotos as she goes about compiling the history of her brother with the little she has left of him. Running parallel to this memorabilia-laden meditation on absence is a prayer-like litany of dictionary entries: every other page contains a definition of each Latin word in a poem which Catullus wrote for his dead brother. It is a poem which Carson has long attempted to translate but never to her satisfaction. At the end of Nox, she does arrive at a beautiful translation and perhaps can finally let her brother go: “He refuses, he is in the stairwell, he disappears.”
Nox is published by New Directions Books and distributed by W. W. Norton & Company.

The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and Its Circle by Zoe Beloff
REVIEW BY MATT CARNEY
Visionary amusement park designer Albert Grass founded The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society in 1926 after failing to drum up the necessary interest or funding to rebuild Dreamland park along strict Freudian principles; the previous Dreamland park having been lost to fire in 1911. It is easy to imagine his excitement when Kodak unveiled the 16mm camera with safety film in 1923. If he couldn’t create a space for the public to literally access The Conscious or The Libido (the doorway to the latter having been placed exactly where you would imagine) then he could at least help an interested group of amateurs explore the landscape of their dreams in Freudian terms through the shooting and editing tricks he picked up overseas during The Great War. The resulting ephemeral footage, culled from throughout the decades-long run of the society, illuminates the quotidian worries that came to bear on the members’ dreams. Walter Benjamin’s belief that dreams tell us “who we are in a social context rather than regulating the imagination to a timeless historical sphere” is on wonderful display in each.
Nine of these “dream films” are collected on a DVD firmly encased in clear plastic and pinned inside the back cover of The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and Its Circle, the beautifully printed catalogue from the 2009 exhibition of the same name at The Coney Island Museum, curated from its archives by experimental media artist Zoe Beloff. The book also includes story of Freud’s visit to the park by Norman Klein, Amy Herzog’s essay on the displays of trauma in the Lillie Beatrice Santangelo’s World in Wax Museum, and pages and pages of beautifully scanned illustrations, advertisements, and photographs: a celebration of ephemera and the role it plays, much like our own dreams, in illuminating and making present all possible pasts and all possible futures. That the speculative and fabricated reside alongside the bits of “true” ephemera is even more in keeping in the spirit of the park. It is possible to figure out which is which with research, but I recommend reading it through at least once as the glorious historical record that it possibly is.
The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and Its Circle: Dream Films 1926-1972 is published and distributed by Christine Burgin.

Ventrakl by Christian Hawkey
REVIEW BY KASIA BARTOSZYNSKA
Seminary Co-op Bookstore (Chicago)
Is it possible to co-author a book with a long since deceased poet? Can you immerse yourself in someone else’s verse to such a point that his voice begins to blend with your own? What if you also study the person’s life history, or photographs of him and his family? Can you feel your way into another human being?
These are some of the questions that motivate Christian Hawkey’s Ventrakl, an extended engagement with the poet Georg Trakl. In the introduction, Hawkey describes the work alternately as a collaboration, a translation (though Hawkey did not know Trakl’s native German when he was working on the project), and a form of friendship. Translation, in this book, is not so much a transportation of words from one language into another as it is an effort to enter a space outside of language and bring something back.
This engagement takes different forms, some of which are more accessible than others. There are brief dialogues, meditations on photographs, anecdotes from the poet’s biography, various lists, assemblages of lines from Trakl’s poetry, and short poems whose contemporary diction makes Hawkey’s presence more tangible (“A dork mutters Milton”). While those moments are occasionally off-putting (duck farts?), others are quite lyrical or strangely absorbing, as when Hawkey considers the way the light plays on Trakl’s earlobe in one photograph.
This is not a book that you read passively: it invites the reader’s active participation in the process of thinking through and into another’s life.
Ventrakl is published by Ugly Duckling Presse and distributed by Small Press Distribution.

Warner Bros confirms four ‘Fantastic Beasts’ sequels
Warner Bros wants to reignite the Harry Potter franchise with Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and author J.K. Rowling announced that they were making five Fantastic Beasts movies in total.
A sequel has been set for 2018 and Slash Film lays out plans: “…this probably means we’ll see the third Fantastic Beasts in Holiday 2020, a fourth film two years later in 2022 and the fifth and final movie in 2024. Of course, none of those release dates have been confirmed by Warner Bros. The studio does have the November 20th, 2020 date flagged for an “Untitled WB Event Film.” This is an even bigger show of confidence than”
Fantastic Beasts hits theaters November 18th, 2016.
Here is the official information for Fantastic Beasts:
Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything”) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four HARRY POTTER blockbusters. The film also stars Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, Ron Perlman, Carmen Ejogo and Colin Farrell. The film was produced by David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram.
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
The film marks the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, whose beloved HARRY POTTER books were adapted into the top-grossing film franchise of all time. Her script was inspired by the Hogwarts textbook FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM, written by her character Newt Scamander.

9 Most Moving Stories of 2015
Text by Simone Louis
From the worlds of movies and art to books and theatre, these were stand-out creative moments of 2015
1. Piku
Scriptwriter, Juhi Chaturvedi
There are movies that hit you, themes that come at you with vigour — and those that subtly make their way into your musings. Working alongside director Shoojit Sircar, Juhi Chaturvedi quietly delivered the latter, with her poignant assessment of the complex bond between a belligerent, constipated 70-year-old Bengali man named Bhaskor and his beleaguered, unmarried daughter Piku. The most eccentric family movie in recent times, it digs into the theme of role-reversal between parent and child, avoiding obvious depictions and giving prominence to reactions that are rarely explored on reel. Essentially, it touches a nerve with the audience.
With a superstar line-up of actors (Amitabh Bachchan as Bhaskor, Deepika Padukone as Piku and Irrfan Khan as Rana Chaudhary — a stranger who finds himself knee-deep in the family’s bedlam) Piku succeeds in being a full-length film daringly centred on bowel movements and daily spats…without coming across as either crass or juvenile. When Rana finds himself in the pickle of having to drive the verbose, hypochondriac father and his exasperated daughter from Delhi to Kolkata, remarkable banter ensues. Khan and Bachchan are seen at their candid best, brazenly discussing Western commodes, and sharing bowel movement tips.
One also notices subtleties in Chaturvedi’s writing that infer the constant presence of a silver lining, even during potentially arduous parts. So, though it has more ‘toilet humour’ than one would recommend, the film holds a mirror to social truths in a way that spotlights Chaturvedi as one of today’s most perceptive chroniclers of bourgeois India.
2. Court
Director, Chaitanya Tamhane
An overwhelming indictment of the Indian legal structure, Court depicts a brutally sluggish judicial process encircled by a blend of ineptitude, apathy and communal disparity. The movie follows Narayan, an elderly folk singer and activist, arrested on a contrived charge of provoking a sewage worker to commit suicide. Chaitanya Tamhane presents a concoction of tragedy and hilarity with an unusual naturalist approach to film-making.
In so many perceptible ways, India’s official selection for the 88th Academy Awards couldn’t be more different from the entries that went before it. While it’s abnormal for an Indian film-maker to take the multilingual path, Tamhane does so with elan, employing Hindi, Marathi, English and Gujarati. The Mumbai courtroom seems to be straight out of reality. The premeditated pacing of the movie emphasises the slothfulness of Indian law and order, while the use of a rigid, stationary camera in the courtroom serves as a visual expression of legal inaction.
The realism continues with the absence of mood music; the infusion of dark humour prevents the film from seeming like a documentary. A mix of sentiment and rationale powered by nuanced authenticity, Court establishes the fact that, when it comes to making legal dealings fascinating, no added drama is really necessary.
3. Kissanpur — ‘Discovering Real Togetherness’ Ad
Lowe Lintas Advertising
Ketchup brand Kissan returns with another digital commercial as part of Kissanpur, their three-year-old enterprise, that promotes community building. Shining the spotlight on disengaged metropolitan residents, it highlights what we’ve all been guilty of at times — the act of not making an effort to interact with our neighbours.
The ad film follows an elderly man through his residential society, past youngsters engrossed in their phones, and a car owner who drives into a parked car but only steps out to check his own vehicle. A lady drops her groceries and is — surprise, surprise — ignored. The man comes to her aid, but gets no more than a passing glance as she walks away, talking on her phone. A tomato-shaped bottle cap, however, is left on the ground. The sweet old chap sits by a fountain, when he’s approached by a curious young boy who discovers a packet of tomato seeds inside the cap. The mood changes as we see the duo gardening in great spirits as they are joined by more children. Emotionally, the ad takes you up, down and up again, with the plants being washed away by rain, replanted, and then protected by a few quick-thinking dads. The finale is poles apart from the opening, with the community having come together to look after the tomato garden, articulating joys that stepping back from the digital sphere and building bona-fide connections can bring.
4. Flood of Fire
Author, Amitav Ghosh
The third and final book of the Ibis trilogy turns an account of the opium trade in China, as well as China’s relationship with the British merchants and government in the 1830s and early ’40s, into an intense revelation of the power of addiction and greed. Amitav Ghosh includes a wealth of information in an easily digestible form with interesting characters and colourful language. The addition of two new characters allows him to incorporate the viewpoints of a sepoy in the East India Company’s army and those of a distinguished lady from Bombay’s Parsi community to the innumerable perspectives he has already presented on the First Opium War.
Not only is Ghosh unafraid of using local idioms — whether the speaker is Chinese or Parsi — to make the characters fully express themselves, but he also maintains a superb sense of humour. Never didactic or pontifical, he ensures that his characters’ evolutions are plausible and well-motivated. Flood of Fire is just as compulsively readable as the first two books, proving to be a true treasure for a reader looking for an affecting, many-sided representation of history.
5. Song of the Jasmine
Creators, Aparna Ramaswamy, Ranee Ramaswamy and Rudresh Mahanthappa
Recognised by awards from America’s National Endowment for the Arts, the National Dance Project, the MAP fund and the McKnight Foundation, the Ragamala Dance Company represents Indian arts and culture with vehemence, all the way in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company’s latest venture, titled Song of the Jasmine, sees co-directors and mother-daughter duo Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy collaborating with award-winning saxophonist and composer Rudresh Mahanthappa.
The production toggles between the past and the present, composition and improvisation, while delving into the concept of longing. Western jazz fuses with South Indian music and dance, as the choreographers revisit the medieval South Indian poet, Andal, upholding their ancestors’ traditions and interpreting these in their own distinct way. The first time that Mahanthappa has worked with dancers and the first improv jazz collaboration for Ragamala, this is a cultural ensemble that invokes the spiritual and the sensual as a thoroughly original, magnetic piece of art.
6. Here After Here After Here
Artist, Jitish Kallat
Six metres high and 17 metres in diameter, an alluring blue sculpture appears like a gargantuan sphere of endlessly looped traffic signage in Stockerau, Austria. The public art structure, a playful work that encompasses the local and the global, made Jitish Kallat the first contemporary Indian artist to have a permanent international outdoor display. He was invited to conceive the piece in 2012, by the Advisory Council of Public Art Lower Austria and the Regional Consortium of Ten Municipalities.
Located approximately 20 kilometres north of Vienna, the sculpture features a convergence of quite a few references like ancient eternal knots, the fabled symbol of ouroboros, sacred geometry and alchemical diagrams. The highway signage bears text, symbols, actual distances and exit signs connecting Stockerau to places all over the world, from Singapore and Paris to Mumbai, New York, Bucharest and Taipei. What’s more, with the circular form of the roundabout and the spheroid form of the display, the artist seems to symbolically connect Lower Austria to the rest of the world.
7. Sleeping On Jupiter
Author, Anuradha Roy
A riveting and heart-rending read, this one rightfully found itself on the Manbooker 2015 Long List. The story follows Nomi, a little girl who witnesses her father’s murder and watches her family, and life, as she knew it, fall to pieces. We’re introduced to an assortment of characters in the first few chapters, each with a clear and inimitable voice. After an extremely emotional beginning, the narration fast-forwards to two decades later, to a train journey with three elderly women on holiday and a young woman travelling to India to film a documentary.
Anuradha Roy not only brings alive the emotions and experiences of every character in a way that you begin to worry for their welfare, but she also writes with compassion when dealing with topics that could offend or upset. The lyrical prose draws, almost hypnotises the reader, and an organic, crude ending gives the story a dark authenticity. The novel presents the reader with an agonising feeling of knowing where the story is heading and, even then, with every page turned, a sense of trepidation is felt.
Sleeping on Jupiter also brings with it an element of surprise, when one first realises that the characters don’t just exist alongside each other, but that each plot was furthering the other’s. With each personality, Roy propagates modern thoughts based on ageless themes like the aftermath of violence, love, religion and home. It is not a ‘nice’ story; an undertone of risk and of looming tragedy prevails throughout — but it is the intimacy of the relationships between people that truly stands out.
8. Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon
Director and Writer, Sunil Shanbag and Mihir Bhuta
After Sunil Shanbag’s Gujarati adaptation of All’s Well That Ends Well was commended in 2012 and 2014 at the Bard’s Globe in London, the director decided to translate the play into Hindi with ace writer Mihir Bhuta. Painting an effervescent tableau of cultures, Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon is brimming with humour and valour.
Bhuta sets his action in Saurashtra, in the year 1900 — during the rapid rise of the Gujarati merchant community. The play incorporates the Bhangwadi style of theatre, which means that the characters sometimes sing their lines and break into dance. The approach of the actors speaking straight to the audience is enhanced by the fact that most of the action takes place downstage, establishing a connection between the spectators and the performers. Engaging and witty, the production is peppered with relatable Indian uniqueness, reinforcing the universal appeal and malleability of the Bard’s works.
9. Tamasha
Writer and Director, Imtiaz Ali
The movie itself may have missed the mark, but the form of narration used in this Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone starrer and the maturity of its concept certainly deserve mention. Traditionally, the term ‘tamasha’ means pantomime or sideshow, referencing village performances that employ rhythmic verses to tell stories. Ved, played by Kapoor, speaks in this kind of verse as the storyline goes back and forth in time, recalling childhood tales told by a local storyteller. Imtiaz Ali (using his previous street theatre experience) turns to the traditional rhythmic metre to portray contemporary Indian angst, be it in Ved’s almost-schizophrenic experimentation with self, his climactic monologue or his conversation with the old storyteller as an adult.
An exclusive excerpt from a deleted rhythmic scene from the movie: Flashback. Ved is climbing the stairs to the hostel block at the engineering institute with his luggage. Present time, at the paratha corner. Ved, breaking out of the memory, narrates — Phir se boring baatein saali…? Sudhar ja bandhu, pakad le kona, khol bichhona, daal de chaddar. Tujhko kya hai? Andar kya hai? Kya bakwaas hai yaar…hadd ho gayee…. He looks around at his impromptu audience. Matlab kya hai? In baaton ka, is duniya ka kya matlab hai? Aur kise padi hai…? Chhodh yaar matti kar…. Sun chhote…. Do aur cutting…(to the autorickshaw-wallah) Lega na…? Phir chalte hain….

Qantas flight gets measles warning as Virgin passengers quarantined in London
Ali Coulton
Passengers are being reminded to keep their travel vaccines up to date and carry extra hand sanitizer following a measles alert on a Qantas flight and a Virgin Atlantic flight facing quarantine due to a widespread sickness.
NSW Health has issued a measles alert for passengers travelling from Denpasar, Bali to Sydney on Qantas flight QF44 on 21 February.
A young woman who travelled to Australia via Bali was diagnosed with the highly infectious disease after leaving Sydney on 25 February.
She also visited the Sydney Opera House on the same day she arrived and is believed to have stayed in the Langham Hotel on Kent street for the duration of her trip.
NSW Health is urging anyone who was in the same locations as the woman to watch out for signs and symptoms of measles until at least 15 March, as it can take up to 18 days for symptoms to present after exposure.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, passengers and crew travelling on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Barbados have been quarantined upon landing at Gatwick airport due to a widespread sickness on board.
The flight was met by emergency services when it arrived in London at 5:30am.
A South East Coast ambulance service spokesman told the Guardian that assistance was required following “reports of a number of passengers and crew feeling unwell and nauseous”.
The Guardian reported that 30 people were treated at the scene and three were taken to hospital for further checks.
“We sent ambulance crews including our hazardous area response team and a number of other specialist paramedics to the scene,” the spokesman said.
One passenger named Trevor Wilson wrote on Twitter that all passengers on the flight were cruise passengers returning from the MSC Preziosa.
“The illness seems to have originated on board ship, not the plane. Five members of cabin crew became sick on flight,” Wilson said.
Wilson also indicated the sickness was a “bad chesty cough, possibly chest infection.”
Another Twitter user claimed to have checked with MSC and said there were no issues on the ship, pointing out that if the flight attendants were also sick, they would have been infected for 24 hours.
Trevor, I have confirmed there were no reported issues on #cruise ship. If flight cabin crew were ill, they had been infected for more than 24 hours. The cause of the illness was with plane not ship.
— Stewart Chiron (@CruiseGuy) March 6, 2019
A Virgin Atlantic told Travel Weekly the flight was met by authorities as a precaution.
“A number of customers on board a charter flight from Barbados to London Gatwick this morning (March 6th), reported feeling unwell onboard,” the spokesperson said.
“The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always our absolute priority, and local ambulance services attended the aircraft upon landing to provide medical assistance.
“We are working closely with London Gatwick Airport and medical teams to offer assistance to customers, and will conduct a full investigation into the circumstances.”

Donald Trump's visit to Ireland is defined, as you might expect, by cynicism. He seems to be here mostly in order to promote his hotel in Doonbeg. This is the hotel that rather famously, despite him being a major climate change denier, perhaps the leading climate change denier, that he has applied for planning permission to build a seawall to protect the hotel against rising sea levels!
Another cynical aspect of the trip is that it's fairly obviously aimed to appeal to Irish American voters and maybe get him some extra votes in 2020. In that context it's very important that there were significant mobilizations in all Irish cities saying the Trump was not welcome and that in terms of the media they could only find a handful of people willing to act the fool down in Doonbeg to welcome Trump and that terrible pint his son poured.
Of course staying in Doonbeg in Clare also has the big advantage that had meant he was nowhere near any of these cities so in theory is pretty safe in being sure he wasn't going to be seen any protesters himself, the hotel being surrounded by police and of course the American security services that are here. Anyway last night in Dublin a few thousand people took the opportunity to take to the streets and say that Trump was not welcome here
The reasons the organizers gave for organizing the march, the reasons to stop Trump were simple enough
He's destroying the planet
He's the world's leading misogynist
He's a racist Islamophobe and apartheid Israel supporter
He's an imperialist war monger
He's a vicious tranphobe
and he represents the 1%.
The Dublin protest at the start saw that rather infamous Trump as a baby balloon brought over from London for the occasion. Not a huge fan of it, tends to depoliticise opposition to him and plays into his own game of presenting it simply as being a question of two teams and picking which side you're on rather than basing opposition on the absolutely terrible politics he holds.
Indeed a problem with the focus on Trump, as terrible as he is is, that he's also much more of a puppet than a puppet master the people behind him that actually made the decisions in the Republican Party are the ones who do the real damage and it's fairly obvious that Trump and his unpopularity will mean that a certain point he will be ditched and the danger is that the sole focus on Trump as a terrible person is liable to then diffuse opposition.
There is also a need to acknowledge that many of Trumps terrible policies were there in weaker forms under the previous administration of Obama. The increasing hostility to migrants for instance and the stepping up of deportations, the creation of ICE all of those things happened under the Obama administration Trump no doubt is worse but at the same time he's part of a trajectory of class rule in the United States that has seen vulnerable groups being targeted.
Having him in power at the moment with the looming threat of climate change as the 12 years we were given last year become 11, it's obviously a disaster but at the same time it's very hard to see how the Democratic Party would actually do anything that was significantly different, certainly not anything even approaching the scale of massive economic restructuring and collective
decision-making we need.
All of us, all the people on the planet are facing this incredible challenge over the next 11 years if we want to head off climate catastrophe. Essentially we need to restructure the entire planetary economy. Capitalism is dependent on growth and growth is what's in the process of killing us, we need to shift to a society that doesn't depend on growth and that really means a society that's based on the satisfaction of people's needs and not at all on profits. It's a task for all of us

Who Makes the Nazis?
Keeping an eye on the neo-fascists burrowing their way into a subculture near you
Rock Against Communism: The Roots of Sol Invictus
A page from New Dawn, a short lived fascist magazine published after the decline of the National Front (NF) paper Bulldog, but before White Noise, the NF music magazine that eventually led to the racist and fascist Blood and Honour movement under Ian Stuart and Nicky Crane. Here they review Songs of the Wolf (1984), the only known release by Above the Ruins, the band formed by Tony Wakeford on leaving Death in June. I talked about the personnel of the band in an earlier post. The point here is to emphasise how openly and directly Above the Ruins were identified with the fascist NF - the magazine clearly sees them as part of an organised attempt by fascist musicians to break out of the skinhead ghetto and address other youth subcultures (in this case, electronic post-punk). They also mention the NF fund raising LP, No Surrender, to which Above the Ruins contributed a track. 'Rock Against Communism' was a movement of fascist musicians that organised many fund raising gigs for the NF and later merged into Blood and Honour.
In later years Wakeford would claim that his next group, Sol Invictus, represented a clean break from his Nazi past - but it seems that the first Sol Invictus line-up had the same line-up as the openly fascist Above the Ruins. According to the entry for Above the Ruins on the Blood and Honour site 'United Skins'; "The line-up for this studio-project was Tony Wakeford, Ian Read, Gary Smith and Liz Grey. The band name derived from the Italian fascist guru Julius Evola, reflected contempory developments in the National Front and its splinter groups. Their album 'Songs Of The Wolf' was recorded in 1985, shelved, then unofficially released by "political organisations", and finally officially released by World Serpent."
The New Dawn article is full of the usual NF bullshit of the time about how the music scene is "controlled by Marxists" and welcomes a new type of band "who will speak out for Britain". The promotion for a forthcoming Above the Ruins gig (did it happen?) promises an "all-White band playing all-White music". Wakeford seems still to believe in some variation on the sort of Third Positionist politics he picked up back in the NF. Please bear this in mind the next time you are reading an interview with him where he goes on about his continuing 'love for British culture', his interest in 'Paganism' and (as the current crop of ultra-rightists like to put it) 'Eurocentrism'.

Clearly if Above The Ruins were gigging for Rock Against Communism or even just planning to do so, it seems unlikely that this was just a studio group as Wakeford seems to claim in some recent interviews where he's said it consisted of him, his girlfriend and the studio engineer on drums.
We do know that that the engineer/producer on the Above The Ruins recording for the No Surrender compilation was Mark Sutherland who also drummed for leading National Front band Skrewdriver. Since it sounds like different drummers on that recording and the album released by Above The Ruins, I think it is pretty safe to assume that Wakeford is either lying or telling a half-truth (which is not surprising given that he has a long record of lying and changing his story on all this stuff).
One of Wakeford's ex-girlfriends is said to be the sister of Patrick Harrington who was head of the official NF when Wakeford was in it. Nazi sources have claimed not only that Ian Read, Gary Smith and Liz Grey play on the Above The Ruins album, but that Patrick Harrington also appeared on this release (so it doesn't seem so unlikely that Harrington's sister Lorna - who has appeared on other recordings by Wakeford - is also featured). Rumour also has it that Douglas Pearce of Wakeford's old band Death In June guests on some of these recordings.
However you look at it Above The Ruins was packed full of Nazi slime, just like Sol Invictus. Given that Gary Smith and Ian Read have documented records as fascist activists (see old issues of Searchlight) and this actually coincides with their involvement with Sol Invictus, Wakeford's claims that this is a post-Nazi band could only be taken seriously by complete idiots or individuals who for nefarious reasons want to cover up for Wakeford and Sol Invictus.

David Myatt was peripherally related to nazi music scene (Charlie Sergeant murdered fellow combat18 member in argument over music revenues).
Anyway it has emerged that Myatt likes to organize attacks on disabled women and is also sometimes immersed in gay porn.

Are you turned on by the likes of Stewart Home so much that you want to churn out derivative and dreary pointless prose like him? Or that fool Karl Blake who has launched his own pathetic jihad against those he used to work with? Or maybe you are one of the above, because who else would want to waste their time doing a blog about this? People like Wakeford were involved in the NF for a few years at the end of the '70s. So what? Now he has publicly denounced that brief period in his past, has a Jewish wife, a Zionist manager and two lesbians in his band. And a parrot. The thing is, it's plain that blogs like this are merely a personal vendetta, nothing more. A waste of time. You need to get out more. But if you're not a spurned Nazi wannabe like Home or a sad sack retard like Blake, then you're writing a load of old bollocks about someone you don't even know, which is even sillier. Presumably you'll get bored eventually. Why not grow some balls and write blogs about Genuine Threats To Civilisation (or whatever) — not middle-aged musicians who had a brief indiscretion 30 years ago.
Strelnikov 11 Oct 2010, 23:59:00
I've nothing personal against anyone I've written about on this blog. I've never met them. But I think we owe it to their audience to unravel their bullshit, uncover those parts of their history that they prefer to leave unexplored, poke a hole in the self-generated bubble of pseudo-radicalism they hide behind, and expose the Fascist / Traditionalist / ultra-Rightist origins of their ideas. What they pass off as radical criticism of contemporary society is ignorant and unimaginative; what they propose as a solution is much worse. As they used to say in the 60s, "the kids are being hyped".
I love this idea that you have to know someone before you can criticise them. It's such transparently obvious bullshit. You wouldn't apply it to anyone else unless you were desperate to cover up for them too. These people put their shit into the public domain and ask to be taken seriously. If they think that what they produce should somehow at the same time be above criticism they are feeble minded. To some extent they even trade on such criticism since without it they wouldn't be able to kid their fans that they are aesthetically and ideologically 'close to the edge'. I mean if you earn your living making out that you are flying in the face of petty-minded public opinion, and swimming against the tide, you can hardly act shocked when you face criticism and public reaction. Not without looking like a prima donna, anyway.
"you want to churn out derivative and dreary pointless prose..."
You haven't earned the right to call my prose dreary since you haven't read it yet: your comment about Wakeford's involvement in the NF being "at the end of the 70s", proves as much. Please at least do me the courtesy of reading my dreary prose before pointing it out to everyone.
Eddie Chapman 12 Oct 2010, 23:15:00
Another example of Anonymous not reading this blog is their blather about Wakeford's wife and band members. If they'd checked the links in the documents section of this blog they'd have found an article about gay Nazis (there are plenty of examples from Ernst Rohm to Martin Webster, Nicky Crane and Douglas Pearce). As for invoking Wakeford's wife, Strelnikov dealt with this when replying to a Troy Southgate comment on an earlier blog:
"Finally, I'm surprised that someone like yourself, who aspires to a degree at least of ideological sophistication, should raise the complete red herring concerning Wakeford's wife. For obvious reasons it is indeed uncommon for those with fascist sympathies to take a Jewish partner; but it is also far from unknown. What is more surprising is that Wakeford and his supporters should try to use the fact that his partner is Jewish as proof that he has broken with fascism when Wakeford chose as his best man for the ceremony a leading Strasserite/Nazi ideologist and activist (Richard Lawson). I mean, he really should have thought that one through."
Those who support the neo-folk Nazis sound like stuck records. The excuses they come up with to cover up for their idols aren't even arguments. The comment from anon is truly pathetic.
The (long since closed) Blood and Honour merchandising shop - Cutdown - in London's Carnaby Street, was run by Des Clarke from Skrewdriver and a Jewish businessman called Andrew Benjamin, aka Andrew St John. A violent Nazi (who'd served jail time for attacking a police officer) was happy to work with a Jew, and a Jew was happy to disseminate Nazi propaganda, so the excuses about "I've got a Jewish mate" etc simply don't wash.
Because the music produced by even lapsed Nazis continues to influence people, Strelnikov is totally right to say we owe it to their audiences to expose this crap, but if wankers like Tony Wakeford really have reformed, then fair enough, but the only way for them to deal with that is for them to be totally open about their past and to go public with detailed information about their knowledge of the Fascist scene, because of (not despite) the risks that entails - not only would the information be useful (assuming it's accurate) but their willingness to run the risk would be one measure of their sincerity in this respect

If "Anonymous 11 Oct 2010 20:08:00" has evidence that Wakeford was involved with the NF in the seventies (as well as the eighties as is commonly understood) then he or she should make it available.
That way it can be fed into the excellent work being undertaken here.
Karl Jaspers 13 Oct 2010, 18:34:00
With regard to "Anonymous 11 Oct 2010 20:08:00". One of the better known examples of a fully paid up Nazi taking a Jewish lover is Martin Heidegger's stormy and drawn out affair with Hannah Arendt. Heidegger not only Nazified the German universities, he also unsuccessfully tried to become the spiritual leader of National Socialism, and thereby attempted to place himself above Hitler (who was political leader).
Also the description "Anonymous 11 Oct 2010 20:08:00" gives of Wakeford & co (Gary Smith, Ian Read etc. I presume) as "middle-aged musicians who had a brief indiscretion 30 years ago" papers over way too much. Wakeford has an involvement with fascist fixer Richard Lawson stretching over more than twenty years, and possibly amounting to as many as thirty so far, this is not a 'brief indiscretion'. Also let's remember that among other things Wakeford and Read (via his involvement with Lawson/Iona/Scorpion) were a part of the National Front faction that chummed up to a motley crew of Italian fascist terrorists who murdered scores of people. The fascist faction to which Wakeford belonged in the 1980s (and with which he still hangs out as part of an affinity group rather than a party - part of a conscious strategy to loose their Nazi image while remaining committed to the fascist path) sheltered these Italian bombers from justice by safe-housing them in London. There is blood on all their hands.
Likewise, Ian Read was still a visible fascist street activist in the 1990s, as documented in Searchlight. To the best of my knowledge, Gary Smith has never even tried to hide his ongoing involvement in fascist activism and even today is quite open about his Nazism.
It is also quite clear that Strelnikov comes at this from a different perspective to the other individuals mentioned in the comment I'm remarking on here. Of course it was Hitler in "Mein Kampf" who ranted about making even adversaries far removed from each other appear to belong to a single category since seeing a diverse array of opponents might lead the wavering masses to question whether the Nazis were right. I'm paraphrasing several paragraphs here but it is on page 108 of the translation I consulted. Strange that "Anonymous 11 Oct 2010 20:08:00" should choose to follow Hitler's line on this. Either they are a fascist themselves or an ignorant fool.
Anyone who can make arguments along the line of "he can't be Fascist because he's Gay", or "he can't be Fascist because he has Jewish friends" is basically declaring in public that they haven't got a clue about the history and reality of Fascism. Why would we listen to anything else you say if you immediately disqualify yourself by peddling such nonsense? You can't even be bothered to find out the most basic facts about Fascism and yet you want to lecture other people on their attitude toward it?
In other words, if you are a Fascist / "a friend of Tony Wakeford" / a "researcher into folk psychology" / a "free-thinking aesthete who thinks that anything is permitted as long as it's 'Art'", (or similar), please be warned that if you want to make any contribution at all here you need to raise your game, get your shit together and not peddle such obvious pish.
Maybe tomorrow I'll add an FAQ to the blog and make this one of the basic rules for contributors, so that in future we can just refer offenders to the rule rather than having to respond to such patent ignorance all over again.
Oscar Wilde 14 Oct 2010, 00:58:00
Since Tony Wakeford's anonymous friend insists we talk about gay Nazis, take a look at the main Austrian fascist group of recent years the Freedom Party and the breakaway Alliance for the Future of Austria - and don't forget that their dead Führer Jörg Haider was the idol of neo-folk flake Albin Julius of Der Blutharsch (who used to be very close to Doug Pearce of Death In June).
Stefan Petzner (born 17 January 1981 in Lassnitz near Murau, Styria) is an Austrian politician. He is a member of the right-wing Alliance for the Future of Austria (Bündnis Zukunft Österreich, BZÖ). Petzner is a former beauty and fashion reporter and a student of journalism. In June 2006 Petzner and Martin Strutz were jointly appointed secretaries general of the BZÖ. Petzner directed the election campaigns in 2006 and 2008.
After Jörg Haider's death in a car accident on 11 October 2008, the party's executive committee nominated Petzner to succeed as party chairman. In an interview on the same day Petzner declared in tears that Jörg Haider was his "Lebensmensch", i.e. the "person of his life". From 12 October to 19 November 2008 he served as acting party chairman but was succeeded by Herbert Scheibner. Petzner concentrated on directing the party's election campaign in the State of Carinthia where, in March 2009, the party won a near-landslide victory taking over 45% of the vote.
On 19 October 2008, Petzner announced that he and Haider had been having "a relationship that went far beyond friendship" with the full knowledge of Haider's wife, Claudia. While Associated Press reported Petzner's comments as "Jörg and I were connected by something truly special. He was the man of my life ... I loved him as a best friend," the article was titled: Was Austrian far-right leader Joerg Haider gay? Euronews titled: "Rumours of Joerg Haider’s secret gay life" and reports that “some say” Haider had died “after a furious row with the man who now claims to have been his lover.” Petzner's statements were criticized within the party as misleading and fit to be interpreted as insinuating a homosexual relationship between Haider and Petzner. His party's officials made a rushed attempt to limit the damage for the image of their far-Right group and banned several other interviews that were to appear..
Haider had never denied or confirmed the rumours about his sexuality, but he was often criticised for surrounding himself with young men in his political movement, which was nicknamed 'Haider's boys' party'.
Haider died of injuries from a car crash at Lambichl in Köttmannsdorf near Klagenfurt, in the state of Carinthia, in the early hours of 11 October 2008... Haider, who was on his way from Stadtkraemer, a gay bar in Klagenfurt, were he had been drinking and had been meeting a young man after having previously quarrelled with Stefan Petzner that same evening...

I have to agree with all the responses made to Anonymous here, and pose a simple question at the same time. Why would you want to defend Wakeford in this way? Unless you are in fact Wakeford (which would be very funny), or possibly a friend. Or maybe a fascist. Either way if you want to stick up for him for any reason at all, you really have to do better than that.
Oh, and your "prose" is far from elegant. "Retard" indeed. What a disgusting word to use about anyone.
Take a look at yourself and what you write before accusing anyone of having a "personal vendetta". The language you employ about Stewart Home and Karl Blake suggests to me that you have something very personal against them. Are you perhaps a hypocrite as well as a rather sad, confused fascist?
As for Wakeford the arguments I would make about his being a closet fascist have been made very eloquently here so I don't feel the need to add to them, beyond saying keep up the excellent work you are doing here Strelnikov, whoever you may be.
Why defend Wakeford? I don't like Neo-Folk, and have no axe to grind. But I do know that he has erased any connection with his long-distant past and yet some people (generally hypocrites and ex-fellow-travellers) are using a bogus moral "outrage" to justify engaging in one-sided arguments about a non-issue that will interest no-one. it's clear that all the comments "against" me are written by the same person, so I'd read my original comment again if I were you. What's "dreary" about it all is the obvious personal vendetta gussied-up as a matter of public interest. I was in Housmans Bookshop in the mid-1990s when Stewart Home sold his neo-Nazi book and magazine collection, no doubt collected at the same time as he attempted to cozy-up to the occult nazi crowd by writing introductions to their lyric books. It would appear that they gave him the elbow, and now Home is engaged in a quite shamefully hypocritical campaign of slander against some of them. Well, Stewart, Karl et al . . . THEY'VE gotten over it; why can't YOU?
Strelnikov 1 Nov 2010, 18:04:00
"Housmans Bookshop in the mid-1990s when Stewart Home sold his neo-Nazi book and magazine collection"
What you've revealed to the world here is the shocking news that Stewart Home first researched neo-Nazism before writing about it. I own a small collection of neo-Nazi, etc., books and magazines myself; I suppose that makes me too a crypto-Fascist. Or, if I eventually sell them, does it make me a hypocrite?
As for Home writing 'introductions to their lyric books', etc., I've read them, and If you can't tell when someone is so clearly taking the piss then I pity you. Only last week I found an interview by Home with Dave Tibet in which he says his releases are novelty records and the best comparison is the work of the Pork Dukes. I somehow think that if Home was desperately trying to suck up to the likes of Tibet he could have tried a bit harder.
However, since I suspect that you really only made your comment in order to provoke a response that would tell you if either Home or Karl Blake are involved in writing this blog, I'll put you out of your misery by telling you outright that they are not. Neither has contributed to it at all (unless they've made anonymous/pseudonymous comments), though I've obviously read Home's articles about Wakeford et al., on his blog and have shamelessly lifted some facts and arguments from him.
Still, since you are so agitated about Home's past contributions I'll quote what he said about them himself, in case you didn't understand it the last time around;
"Both Nazi scum and hardcore reformists who aim to channel activism toward electoral politics have serious problems with humour. In his leaflet 'Stewart Home: The Fascists' Flunkey', O'Hara reproduces 'my' introduction to Above Us The Sun as proof of his claim that I sycophantically idolise 'Tony Wakeford as a "genius" and a semi-divine figure'. The introduction to my book The Assault On Culture contains a critique of the notion of 'genius', and anyone familiar with my output knows that I have no time for this absurd construct. Likewise, Wakeford named his band Sol Invictus after the Pagan Mithraic cult, whereas virtually the entire introduction to Above Us The Sun, and not just those parts in quotes, is lifted from the work of the Christian 'philosopher' Søren Kierkegaard. Regardless of this, to describe as 'a genius' the author of lines such as 'don't rebel, you won't be thanked, you'll just be run over by a tank' and 'nothing changes, only gets worse, nothing changes, waiting for a hearse' is so obviously a joke it shouldn't need explaining."
Finally: "But I do know that he has erased any connection with his long-distant past"
Wrong again - Wakeford has only tried to erase the evidence of the connection. As has been pointed out before on this blog, the question is not whether he wants to be associated with his Nazi past (he very clearly does not) but rather the more vexed question of whether he still holds to some of the ideas.
Jack Spot 2 Nov 2010, 14:06:00
@ Anonymous:
I am not going to get into defending people for being anti-fascist, after all it seems an entirely admirable thing to do and therefore needs no defense - more power to their collective elbows, Home, Blake or anyone else who detests fascism and takes a stand against it, the writer of this blog for example.
What I will say is, if you really believe that Wakeford has changed his political beliefs take a look at Wakeford's Last FM Journal and the list of his favourite neofolk/martial/neoclassical - 2009, posted in April this year. Much of the usual dreary crap one would expect is there - I confess to disliking the music and having a limited knowledge of the scene but some names regularly associated with fascism are there - Von Thronstahl, Darkwood, Sinweldi, TriORE, Ianva and others.
Here are Von Thronstahl interviewed in Heathen Harvest:
"HH: What was the initial founding vision of Von Thronstahl?
JK: The idea of the REICH for Europe, or Europa, as I’d prefer to call it. The terminology is stated in the song HEIMATERDE MUTTERBODEN VATERLAND (native soil, mother soil, fatherland). It’s about the general idea of the Reich, of identity more as a feeling, an emotion than something concerned with parliaments or a supposed “democracy“.
HH: What is Von Thronstahl's enduring interest in the fascist era of European history?
JK: It is unquestionably a very interesting and diverse field. In terms of what is kind of appealing to me I would say that it is the honesty about it. The European nationalist movements were very frank and open about their beliefs and politics, which by no means can be said about the self-proclaimed “democratic” politicians.
Or look at Anton Shekhovtsov's writing on Darkwood in
Apoliteic music: Neo-Folk, Martial Industrial and ‘metapolitical fascism:
"Henryk Vogel, the man behind Darkwood, comments: "the open end “In Ruins” is not just a state after the struggle of Europe but also a dark premonition of what is to come.… In the last song [In Ruinen], whispered vocals announce that there is to be a cultural resistance—which is necessary not only for Europe."
For fascists, ‘a secret Europe’ is hidden in the interregnum, while the Europe of the ‘deadly’ liberal democratic order and of ‘homogenizing’ multicultural society, triumphs."
It is reasonable to ask, is it not, why someone like Wakeford, who has a history as a committed fascist and nows denies holding those beliefs any longer, would spend his time listening to fascist music and slyly encouraging others to listen to it as well?

To re-use Strelnikov's words (and no we're not the same person): "Wrong again."
You offer no evidence, this isn't true, and it simply leaves the impression that as well as being stupid (and quite possibly a fascist) you may also suffer from paranoid schizophrenia.
Are you distracted by noises off?
Do voices in your head tell you want to write when you make blog comments?

"Many years ago I was a once a member of the National Front. It was probably the worse decision of my life and one I very much regret.
However, I have no connection with, sympathy for, or interest in those ideas nor have I had for around 20 years.
A number of friends and musicians whom I work with (including my wife of 8 years), my bass player, my percussionist and engineer/producer, would be at best discriminated against or at worse dead if a far-right party took power.
None of the artists I work with hold such views either, and I doubt they would want to work with me if they thought I did.
I am willing to discus this matter privately with friends and associates and with those who are genuinely interested in my music or wish to work with me.
However, this is the last public statement I plan to make on the subject. I am too fat to jump through hoops for people.
In the end people will either have to believe me or not.

Not good enough for you extremists?
What's your problem: you can't read? or is it just that you can't be bothered to think? As has been pointed out many times before, here and elsewhere, Wakeford's statement is not good enough by a clear mile, because it is simply a way of trying to obscure the continuity of his ideas, and his toying with Fascist motifs, long after he ended his NF membership. He has never given an account of his time in the NF but he has continued to pursue the ideas he learned there. I note with interest, for example, that when one of his fans sent him a picture of the Italian Fascist Julius Evola on his Facebook account, Wakeford replies jokingly, with a nod and a wink ("How did you know I liked Leonard Cohen ;-)"). Fans like that understand what Wakeford's game is, and so do we. You, on the other hand, are happy to shamelessly parade your gullibility and stupidity in public.
Quite apart from that there's the fact that his arguments in his own defence are largely irrelevant. Eg., "A number of friends and musicians whom I work with (including my wife of 8 years)... would be at best discriminated against or at worse dead if a far-right party took power". Mussolini's lover, Margherita Sarfatti, was Jewish: do idiot's like yourself really believe that Mussolini therefore can't have been a Fascist? If you want to defend TW you are going to have to do a lot better than this old crap. If you can't be bothered to find out even the most basic facts about Fascism and its ideology you are probably better off not getting into the game of defending its followers
Doesn't anyone else find it at least extremely distasteful the way that Wakeford will use even his wife to provide cover for himself while still spouting the same old pap about 'Europa' and all the other guff he learned from the radical Right, who remain as anti-Semitic as ever?
Finally, fanboy, please note for future reference that anti-Fascism is not an 'extremist' philosophy. Only Libertarian dimwits and Fascists themselves argue otherwise.
Strelnikov said -
"Finally, fanboy, please note for future reference that anti-Fascism is not an 'extremist' philosophy. Only Libertarian dimwits and Fascists themselves argue otherwise. "
Really? Well you certainly have had me fooled.
.. but then, pretty much by definition, it is easy to fool a fool
You took the words out of my mouth. I question you so automatically I am a fool and a fanboy. The only people disagreeing with you are "libertarians, dimwits and fascists". How measured and level headed of you. Not the response of an extremist at all.
Calling an idiot and idiot is not extremism, just plain speaking. You are a 'fanboy' because you simply reproduce a statement by Wakeford, completely uncritically, just like a 'fan'. His word is good enough for you, and you don't need to think any further. It's all really quite straightforward.
@ Anonymous.
What a bore you are. Posting Wakeford's feeble attempt to divert having to answer his critics is about as pointless an argument it is possible to make his defense. Anyone with the slightest interest in the subject has read this, and if they have a modicum of intelligence already dismissed it as nonsense. It has been clearly established that Wakeford lied constantly about his involvement with the National Front and far-right ideas, until he was outed and had to admit it. Even then he made excuses for himself rather than ever explain what it was about fascism that so appealed to him. He continues to use imagery and language that indicates his political beliefs have not changed. So why would anyone believe a word he says?
You say you have no interest in neofolk and have no axe to grind, so why exactly are you defending Wakeford? If you want to explain exactly why anyone would believe him, and explain what your motives are for defending him you would actually be adding to the debate in a useful way. If you can't mange that then I suggest you cease to bore everyone stupid and piss off.

Whilst agreeing with Jack Spots opinion [2nd November] of the “BEST IN NEOFOLK / MARTIAL / NEOCLASSICAL – 2009” list to be found on the Last.fm Tony Wakeford page, I think it only fair to point out that Wakeford isn’t responsible for this.
Unlike Facebook and (increasingly to a lesser degree) Myspace, Last.fm isn’t Artist/Band led, the pages are generated by the members listening habits and although a Band can subsequently claim “their” page (or even create one if it hadn’t already existed) they have far less control over the pages contents than on other networking sites.
As can be seen on any Last.fm page, the Shoutbox, Similar Artists, Recent Activity and Related Journals sections are constructed by the members and their listening habits and not by the bands themselves. With regards to the last of these, the Journals are virally generated within the Last.fm system by a combination of properties such as BBCode’s, Artist Connections and Scores, consequently linking to Band pages by their viral ranking within the system. This is why the list (made by a user called Coffinwood_Mill) is also found on other Band pages within the system.

@ Philip,
My bad. I had a look at the site again and you're right, it was posted by someone called "Coffinwood- Mill" on Wakeford's page, and not by Wakeford himself. I have no wish to accuse him of something that he is not responsible for, aside from it being being on his Last.fm page.
One could say however that if Wakeford is so keen to distance himself from his fascist "past" he could do worse than keeping fascists from posting Von Thronstahl and their ilk on pages in his name. But maybe I am being petty. It's quite possible that Wakeford is unaware of the post, or unable to remove it.
The trouble is I can't help feeling that Wakeford likes to have it both ways - keeping fascist fans on board, while maintaining deniability at all times.
Anyway, thanks for putting me straight.

I have found this from 2000 where Tony Wakeford sends a letter to American Renaissance (American Racist and Fascist/third positionist grouping) saying he wants nothing to do with Racist or Nationalist parties and that Sol Invictus do not want or encourage their support. http://www.scribd.com/doc/45695373/200012ar We all know that Above the Ruins were supported by people in the NF and therefore advertised them in the paper as they had done with Joy Division, The Stranglers, UK Subs etc and as TW had been in the party. The politics of ATR are quite clear but again this band was his immediate work during the time he was in and just after the NF. We all know that he left the NF and began a journey that, I think, has led out of those politics. Why would he be publically denouncing an organisation such as this if it was an area of support for him? This was over 10 years ago!
Parker 14 Jan 2011, 21:00:00
Either gooddodin doesn't get it or he is naive. Ian Stuart of Skrewdriver wrote to the British music press just before he and his group came out as openly NF denying they had anything to do with fascism, despite the fact he'd been seen having meetings in pubs with Young NF organiser Joe Pearce.
Wakeford is a noted liar - as has been demonstrated endlessly, even by those he works with, and most obviously over subjects such as his involvement with Above The Ruins - which he falsely denied for years. It is convenient for him not to be associated with racist and nationalist parties, but that doesn't mean he isn't a fascist. Just check out the ongoing lyrical content of his releases and the imagery he uses.
I think it is explained on this blog and elsewhere that denying they are racists and fascists (and thereby confusing the naive) has for years been a strategy of that part of the far-Right with Wakeford has a documented history. If Wakeford wanted to break with fascism then he'd need to come clean about his past, name names and adopted anti-racist and anti-fascist positions. He hasn't - it's the same old song, even down to the lies about what Wakeford is about.

Perhaps it's because he's been a part of one gang of fringe lunatics that he's not keen on "adopting" the stance of another group of fringe lunatics. But as someone about to be written off as a fanboy, what do I know, eh?
At Anonymous 15 Jan 2011 01:31:00
Hello? Wakeford has been a member of more than one group of fringe lunatics if you count the SWP as lunatics (while some viewing this blog won't see the SWP that way, it seems likely anonymous does). Wakeford was a paid up member of the SWP before he joined the NF. However, anonymous seems also to be implying more broadly that anti-fascists are a group of fringe lunatics, an opinion that looks rather ridiculous if you take into account world historical events of the twentieth-century such as the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Because of this, I'd see anonymous more as a scumbag than a fanboy - although it is possible anonymous is both; "his" comment doesn't contain any evidence for the latter, but does implicitly suggest this poster is male.
Gododdin 16 Jan 2011, 14:46:00
Parkers comparison between Ian Stuart contacting the mainstream music media and Wakeford contacting a fascists organisations own publication which is read mainly by small number of fascists is ridiculous. Wakeford is not trying to pretend to a wider public here he is communicating with an obscure fascist group saying he wants nothing to do with them. This is an example of the abusrdity of the mud throwing going on here. Yes Wakeford was in ATR and he may well have lied about it, did he do that because he was hiding his invovlement with an organisation he no longer wanted anything to do with and not because he wanted to convince people he was no longer a threat? I have heard many Fascists denounce him for publically spurning them and for not standing up for their politics. This could be because he is no longer a part of their politics!
Also why should he `come clean' to you lot? He would come clean to his friends and aquaintances but not to a group who would never believe anything he said.
Strelnikov 16 Jan 2011, 16:28:00
Wakeford broke off links with his old fascist associates because he developed new allegiances on the radical right, not because he had abandoned fascism / traditionalist thinking.
No one with any sense would touch him with a bargepole until he comes clean about his old thinking and why he has rejected it. All the evidence is that he wants to distance himself from his past as an active fascist in order to 'clean up' his public image. There is plenty of evidence that he 'regrets' his past, but no evidence at all that he has changed much in terms of his beliefs.
If he really had abandoned fascism he would realise that he has a duty to explain why - not least of to those who bought his dismal records with their (sometimes explicit sometimes concealed) hymns to fascism and fascist thinkers. It seems that he prefers to play a double game. In any case, no genuine anti-fascist would trust him an inch until he makes a clean break with his past by explaining just what it is about it that he now rejects. Until that happens, the only reasonable conclusion is that he remains a fascist ideologue albeit one who prefers to keep his commitments quiet.
What I like best about you Strelnikov is how, in true commie fashion, you won't publish the replies of people when they have you licked. Just gag the opposition when it becomes too troublesome.
What I don't publish is posturing bullshit. If you have something to contribute to the debate, even if it is radically opposed to the position of the blog, it will get published. If, on the other hand, you try to submit abuse, bullshit, waffle, etc., it will get binned along with the rest of the crap.
You are not being 'gagged' - it's just that this site has a serious purpose, and any contribution that diverts from that purpose simply won't get published.
What is Fascist, and what is Anti-Fascist? That is the question. I don't think they ever abandoned their Nazi past. Because Nazi is your personality. So is Anti-Nazi is your personality. Those people and I'm talking about Neo-Folk musicians, they really can't help their personality being what it is. I know it from personal experience. I've talked to some of those people, I've been around those people, but I've never been one of those people. That's why I'll be anymimous here for now. Ask me, I'll tell you.
Demian 30 Jan 2011, 13:15:00
Kind of hard for Wakeford to be a diehard fascist when his wife is a Jewess. Tony also enjoys posting quotes by that disgusting mongrel Adorno that you cultural Marxists fancy so much. Maybe you should spend a couple minutes doing some fact checking? I guess that doesn't matter though considering you need to invent an invisible fascist army despite all the real problems in the world. Anyways, keep up the good work steering your slave morality fueled mind into the ghetto. You're doing the job the system wants you to do like the good little unconscious comrade your are.
Eddie Chapman 30 Jan 2011, 20:15:00
"Demian' is obviously a complete moron, they talk about those doing this blog spending a couple of minutes doing fact checking, but it seems they didn't even bother reading through the earlier comments on this post, let me quote from one I placed above:
"Another example of Anonymous not reading this blog is their blather about Wakeford's wife and band members.... Strelnikov dealt with this when replying to a Troy Southgate comment on an earlier blog:
'Finally, I'm surprised that someone like yourself, who aspires to a degree at least of ideological sophistication, should raise the complete red herring concerning Wakeford's wife. For obvious reasons it is indeed uncommon for those with fascist sympathies to take a Jewish partner; but it is also far from unknown. What is more surprising is that Wakeford and his supporters should try to use the fact that his partner is Jewish as proof that he has broken with fascism when Wakeford chose as his best man for the ceremony a leading Strasserite/Nazi ideologist and activist (Richard Lawson). I mean, he really should have thought that one through.'
Those who support the neo-folk Nazis sound like stuck records. The excuses they come up with to cover up for their idols aren't even arguments. The comment from anon is truly pathetic."
And the comment from "Demian' is just a stupid - and whether or not they've taken their comment name from the pathetic "Emil Sinclair" AKA Herman Hesse Bildungsroman of that title, that book sucks just as much as they do. The evidence suggests that it is really difficult to be a Tony Wakeford fan unless you have no musical taste and are also either a fascist or really thick!

It's my 2nd post on your pages :I found your page via the KYPP Page, and feel interested that you are furthering Stewart Home's research on anarchism as a reactionary variant on far right nihilism. I find the link to be convincing and intriguing, and I am not sure why you have caused such a stir -- anyway can I ask, what are you proposing from here? If you are suggecting we tackle occultist right wing groups, I wonder how effective that is since there are not that many people that form coherent movements, are there?
Or -- are you suggesting we tackle the EDL ? The Salafis? The Wahabbis ? The right wing Zionists? The occupation? The rise of hatred of 'the other' in eastern Europe?
If I may say, I'd be very interested in your ( and your reeaders )reply and suggestions on where to take the struggle against fascism froim here.

Anonymous -of 4th of Feb - I hope will get a look-in here - although you must be aware that the owner seems to have a particular point of attention which although broad is not all-encompassing - I personally would hope that, wherever such similar prejudices occur - they are dealt with in an equally forceful way - I feel that you are ascribing things to Homes practise, however, that are designed to paint him into a corner...
amongst other things a position of dispassionate self-interest - if you didn´t intend this I apologise - but that is how I read it.
Just because we cannot be all things to all men doesn´t then mean we should go to the opposite and do nothing because we are at risk of doling out preferential justice whilst missing some other perfectly worthy causes...

Strasserite... given that Otto was hated and pursued by the Nazis it's intellextually-lazy to suggest that a Strasserite is synonymous with a Nazi. But then I don't suspect anything remotely thoughftul from the likes of anti-fascist hypocrites and idiots who rage against Nazism and then defend porn with empty free speech rhetoric in spite of it epitomising capitalism and patriarchy at their most unconscionable. Extremists -left, right - are as immature and irrational as one another.

MATHEW WAGNER - Tuesday, September 6, 2016
I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, ladies and gentlemen, but Michael Orozco will start for the US men's national team in Jacksonville.
Yes, this will not be a popular decision, but Deandre Yedlin's suspension and Matt Besler leaving to meet his daughter whose birth he missed while scoring his first-ever goal for the U.S. means coach Jürgen Klinsmann has issues with his back four.
Unless Klinsmann wants to have a completely new center back pairing for the final match of this round of qualifying (not likely), that takes Geoff Cameron out of contention for right back. Based on the roster, that leaves just two options to play at right back - Orozco and Fabian Johnson.
While Johnson is serviceable at that position and could possibly be replaced by a certain Christian Pulisic on the left side of the midfield, Klinsmann seems averse to starting the young wunderkind. It's hard to see the German coach giving Pulisic that chance against Trinidad and Tobago with first place in the group on the line.
So, basically, Orozco will be the guy at right back. (God help us all.)
As for who will slot beside Cameron in central defense, Omar Gonzalez has played well since making the move south of the border to Liga MX. So, he should get the nod over Steve Birnbaum, and Kellyn Acosta should round out the group in front of Tim Howard.
In the midfield, captain Michael Bradley will slot in the center, but who will come off for him? It could be Graham Zusi, shifting Alejandro Bedoya out on the right flank to make room for Bradley. Another option could be removing Kyle Beckerman from the center of the park and allow Bedoya and Bradley to act as two-way midfielders in a double pivot.
Considering how much Klinsmann loves to deploy Beckerman as a defensive midfielder under Bradley, though, it's more likely Zusi will return to the bench after his start against St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The striker pairing is a case of don't fix something that isn't broke. Both Jozy Altidore and Bobby are so hot at the club level, and both got on the scoresheet on Friday. So, even if we're talking about Klinsmann, he won't mess with that pairing.
While the fans might want to see Klinsmann play some of the younger guys because only a loss of epic portions could see the U.S. not advance to the Hexagonal, he's going to play it safe and stick with some of his usual trustworthy guys.
Predicted lineup (4-4-2):
GK: Tim Howard
RB: Michael Orozco; CB: Geoff Cameron; CB: Omar Gonzalez; LB: Kellyn Acosta
RM: Alejandro Bedoya; DM: Kyle Beckerman; CM: Michael Bradley; LM: Fabian Johnson
ST: Jozy Altidore; ST: Bobby Wood
Geoff Cameron, Jürgen Klinsmann, Michael Bradley, Michael Orozco, Trinidad & Tobago, United States, World Cup Qualifiying
Holland, VVV Venlo, Super Lig, Schalke 04, Turkey, Narva Trans, Everton, Premiership, Besiktas, Meistriliiga (Estonia)

East Orange hires its first female police chief
By Eyewitness News
EAST ORANGE, New Jersey (WABC) -- History has been made in East Orange, New Jersey, Friday night as the city gets its first female police chief and youngest fire chief.
Both were elevated from acting status at the Messiah Baptist Church.
43-year-old Andre Williams is now the youngest person to ever command the department.
Phyllis Bindi, an East Orange native, and 16-year veteran of the force, served as acting police chief for the past year.
She says her main priority is serving her community.
Police and fire operations were merged into divisions under the East Orange Department of Public Safety in 2015.

Fake Women Don’t Have Curves
February 26, 2013 April 8, 2015 lyttleton 4 Comments
I’m not sure when I first heard the phrase, “Real women have curves,” but I do know that it’s always struck me as odd.
I understand it, of course. Both as a physiological point of true femininity and a feminist statement about body image, I get why the message is out there. Our culture definitely puts a heavy emphasis on the appearance of women and little girls are raised up often being pressured to pursue a difficult (if not flat-out impossible) standard of beauty.
The common refrain is that “these days” we expect women to be stick figures with barely any curves, whereas in the past (ah, the nostalgia) we used to think women with a little meat on them were beautiful. Remember Marilyn Monroe?
That icon of beauty would be considered a heffer by today’s standards, or at least that’s the common wisdom.
But this “fact” ignores a couple of things. One, while Monroe for a few years was THE torchbearer for Hollywood beauty, she wasn’t the only one. And two, she really wasn’t that big. People talk about her like she was Roseanne Barr. Hardly. She had some thickness to her, but she was still rather svelte, even by “today’s standards” (whatever those are).
You know who else was a Hollywood superstar in the same years that Marilyn was going around being all Ms. Fatty McFatcheeks? Audrey Hepburn.
Marilyn might have been the bigger star for her looks alone, but no one was going around calling Aubrey Hepburn an ug-o.
Here is my admission: While I think Marilyn was a gorgeous woman, I personally feel Audrey was one of the most beautiful women to ever grace a negative. The wonderful thing about this world is that both beautiful women can exist and they don’t undermine the other.
Anorexic?
Let’s fast forward to our modern day, where the only women we’re forced to be attracted to are anorexic sticks. At least, that’s what I keep hearing. The fashion industry only uses models with bodies like teenage boys who puke up every meal while their ribs stick out from behind their -A cup breasts.
But wait, men are berated for being obsessed with bimbos with big, fake boobs. So, what is it? Are men into big-titted whores or translucent Skeletors?
Is it possible that men aren’t actually one size fits all and some of us like women with curves and some of us like skinny women and even more of us like both, depending on a multitude of factors? No, that can’t be it, men aren’t that complex.
Curves?
The problem I’ve always had with the phrase “real women have curves” is that it’s insanely sexist, both to men and women. First, it implies that women need a counterattack against all the mindless cavemen who only drool over runway models (pro tip: It’s mostly gay men picking those models, not straight dudes). The truth is, males, the multifaceted gender that can’t be summed up in sitcom tropes, actually like women of all sizes.
The above women probably draw about equal shares of salacious attention from male internet commentators, though, admittedly, I haven’t done the research. Jennifer Lawrence, Aubrey Plaza and Christina Hendricks couldn’t be any more different in body types (other than, of course, all being white), yet they all play into male sexual fantasies.*
Men don’t need to be told that women can have curves, we are all very aware of it.
But the truly sexist aspect of the “real women” phrase is aimed at women. What an odd notion this is: a woman is only ‘real’ if she has curves. So all those naturally thin women who have small breasts and/or straight hips are clearly not “real women.” What a gross and utterly hateful way to supposedly assert feminist strength.
It always bothers me when, in an attempt to battle one societal ill, a group swings in the complete opposite direction and creates an equally vile counterattack. The worst part is that this disenfranchisement of ‘skinny women’ (and I’m not talking about thin, Victoria’s Secret Supermodels, I’m talking about true skinny women) has spread to men. Those ‘Gender Study’-taking, enlightened males who would never insult a heavyset woman feel no compunction when mocking a naturally skinny woman as being a ‘skeleton’ or ‘gross.’
Is this really better? Is this actually helping?
I get it. When a person is made to feel bad about themselves, the first reaction is to lash out against someone else. But this natural instinct has solidified into a movement where skinny women, women who can no more naturally change their bodies than ‘fat’ women can, have suddenly become open target for our societal mockery.
Progress? I think not.
If you want to celebrate the women with curves, celebrate the women without them, too.
As for me, big or small breasts, hips or not, I am forever a leg man.
*A conversation like this almost necessarily must reduce any female examples to their purely physical appeal. All of these women are very talented in their art, but for the purpose of the conversation at hand I’m merely focusing on the physical.

4 thoughts on “Fake Women Don’t Have Curves”
Thank you for your article. Being a 5’0″, naturally thin female, the phrase “Real Women Have Curves” has always irked me. I just want to scream out loud sometimes. But hopefully more people will learn to stop using that phrase and stop judging others on appearance. Thank you, again.
Absolutely Barbara, it’s always struck me as the worst and most backwards of the pseudo-Feminist statements. I get that it’s more punchy than “Sometimes Women Have Curves and Sometimes They Don’t But Neither Way Is More Real,” but that ought to be the message. Thank you for reading.
Hi, Off the subject… but where did you get your photo of Audrey Hepburn? I would love to use it but wondering about copyrights. Thanks!

Wow, way to turn an argument and flip it on its head. Everybody, male or female, because we often tend to graze over male image issues, should know that one size does not fit all. Appeal, sexuality, confidence, is in what you exude from the inside out; it is not always the badge you wear on your shoulders.

Ariana Grande Reveals Touring Is ‘Hell,’ Tweets That She ‘Feels Empty’
Ariana Grande admitted performing is bad for her mental health.
The "thank u, next" singer, who's currently in the midst of her Sweetener Tour, revealed touring is "hell" and that performing is like reliving past trauma. Her revelation was the result of a fan tweeting, “Music is your therapy and I love seeing it heal you" — and though most of us expected her to agree, she actually opened up about just how hard it's been for her.
“Making it is healing, performing it is like reliving it all over again and it is hell," she responded.
In a second since-deleted tweet, she elaborated, writing, “Honestly. it’s been v hard. I have sm on my mind and it’s so heavy and no energy to process or work thru any of it but I’m trying hard. and I have the twins. and seeing u all is so nice. but it’s hard emotionally. I wish it were a year ago. I’d give anything.”
Grande also added that she feels “empty” and wishes she had “better energy” to give to her fans. "I just feel empty and I wanna have more to say / better energy to give to u and rn I don't have anything. love u," she wrote.
It's no secret the pop star has been through a lot in the last couple of years. Not only did she end her engagement to Pete Davidson but she lost her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller, who died from an alleged accidental overdose in September.
On top of all that, she recently admitted she still suffers from "terrifying" PTSD levels in her brain following the Manchester attack that killed 22 people at her concert in 2017.

Caspofungin exerts candidacidal activity by inhibiting cell wall (1,3)-β-d-glucan synthesis. We investigated the physiologic mechanisms of caspofungin-induced Candida albicans cell death. Apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis were studied after C. albicans SC5314 cells were exposed to caspofungin at 0.06, 0.125, and 0.5 μg/ml (0.5×, 1×, and 4× the MIC, respectively) for 3 h. Caspofungin at 0.125 and 0.5 μg/ml reduced cellular viability by >50%, as measured by colony counts and methylene blue exclusion. Apoptosis and necrosis were demonstrated by annexin V and propidium iodide staining for phosphatidylserine externalization and loss of membrane integrity, respectively. At all concentrations of caspofungin, 20 to 25% and 5 to 7% of C. albicans cells exhibited early apoptosis and late apoptosis/necrosis, respectively (P value was not significant [NS]). Necrosis, on the other hand, was significantly greater at 0.125 (43%) and 0.5 (48%) μg/ml than at 0.06 μg/ml (26%) (P values of 0.003 and 0.003, respectively). The induction of apoptosis at concentrations less than or equal to the MIC was corroborated by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR-123) and dihydroethidium (DHE) staining (reactive oxygen species production), JC-1 staining (mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation), and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) staining (DNA damage and nuclear fragmentation). Moreover, electron microscopy of cells exposed to 0.125 μg/ml of caspofungin showed hallmark apoptotic features like chromatin margination and condensation and nuclear blebs. Apoptosis was associated with metacaspase 1 activation, as demonstrated by D2R staining. Caspofungin exerts activity against C. albicans by directly killing cells (resulting in necrosis) and causing others to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). Apoptosis is initiated at subinhibitory concentrations, suggesting that strategies to target this process may augment the benefits of antifungal agents.
Caspofungin and other agents in the echinocandin class of antifungals have assumed an increasingly important role in the therapy of invasive candidiasis (1). These agents are nontoxic and exert potent fungicidal activity against Candida albicans and other Candida spp. Their antifungal activity is achieved through inhibition of (1,3)-β-d-glucan synthase (2), an enzyme that synthesizes a major constituent of the fungal cell wall. Although the mechanism of activity for the echinocandins is known, the physiological mechanisms by which they cause cell death are not defined. At least two types of mammalian cell death, necrosis and apoptosis, have been described (3). Necrosis is death resulting from direct cellular injury, which is best defined by cell and organelle swelling and lysis (4). Apoptosis, on the other hand, is programmed cell death, the principal morphological feature of which is shrinkage of the cell and its nucleus (3, 4).
Over the last decade, there have been a number of reports on apoptosis in yeasts and filamentous fungi (5). Indeed, apoptosis can be induced in C. albicans by oxidative stress (6), intracellular acidification, and the antifungal agent amphotericin B (7). Notably, C. albicans cells exhibit apoptotic markers that are similar to those of mammalian cells, including phosphatidylserine externalization, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation, and DNA condensation and fragmentation (8). In this study, we evaluated the mechanisms of C. albicans cell death caused by caspofungin. We demonstrated that caspofungin causes both apoptosis and necrosis of C. albicans cells.
C. albicans strain and growth conditions.C. albicans SC5314 was grown in synthetic dextrose complete (SDC) medium (6.7 g of yeast nitrogen base and 20 g of glucose in 1 liter) at 30°C (9). Caspofungin powder was purchased from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center pharmacy. Media and chemicals were purchased from Becton, Dickinson and Company and Fisher Scientific, respectively, unless specifically stated otherwise. The caspofungin MIC was determined by the broth microdilution method (10). For all assays described below, C. albicans cells in exponential phase in SDC medium were incubated with various concentrations of caspofungin (0, 0.06, 0.125, and 0.5 μg/ml). At specific time points, aliquots were obtained for the respective assays. Viability of C. albicans cells was determined by a colony count determination, and vitality was determined by a methylene blue exclusion assay (11).
Annexin V and PI staining.C. albicans cells exposed to caspofungin were washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and incubated at 30°C for 10 min in 0.02 mg/ml Zymolyase 20T in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (PPB; 0.5 ml of 50 mM K2HPO4, 5 mM EDTA, 50 mM dithiothreitol [DTT], 50 mM KH2PO4, 40 mM 2-mercaptoethanol) with sorbitol at a final concentration of 2.4 M and at pH 7.2 (7, 12). Thereafter, 100 μl of permeabilization solution (0.1 M sodium citrate [pH 6.0] with 0.1% Triton X-100) was added to the washed protoplasts, which were placed on ice for 2 min and washed again. Protoplasts were fixed with 70% ethanol at 30°C for 20 min and subsequently washed with Annexin-V-Fluos (Roche Applied Science) incubation buffer. Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) binding assays were performed according to the staining kit protocol, using 10% annexin reagent, 10% PI reagent, and 1 mg/ml of RNase A at 37°C for 30 min. Cell analysis for these and other assays in the study was performed using an Olympus FluoView FV500/IX laser scanning confocal microscope. All assays were performed at least in triplicate and repeated at least three times.
ROS production.C. albicans cell suspensions were incubated for 10 min with 5 mg/ml of dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR-123) (Sigma-Aldrich). Samples were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry (13). ROS production was also determined following incubation for 45 min with 10 μM dihydroethidium (DHE) (MGT Inc.) (14).
Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm).C. albicans cell suspensions were transferred into sterile amber tubes on ice, and 5 μM JC-1 (5,5′,6,6′-tetrachloro-1,1′,3,3′-tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide) (JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit; Biotium Inc.) was added to each sample prior to incubation at 30°C for 15 min (15, 16). Fluorescence was observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy, and samples were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry. An untreated sample and a 50 μM carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl hydrazone (FCCP)-treated (Tocris Inc.) sample were used as negative and positive controls, respectively.
DNA damage and nuclear fragmentation.We utilized terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) staining. For TUNEL assays, protoplasts were prepared as described above (7, 17). TUNEL reactions were carried out by using the in situ cell death detection kit (Roche Applied Science) (18). The basic protocol for DAPI staining of nuclei was carried out as previously described (14) using 1 μg of DAPI/ml (Molecular Probes).
Electron microscopy.C. albicans cells (1 × 106/ml) in SDC medium were incubated with 0.125 μg/ml of caspofungin at 30°C, with shaking (200 rpm) for 1 h. The cells were then fixed with a modified Karnovsky fixative (19). Transmission electron microscopy imaging was performed by the University of Pittsburgh Center of Biologic Imaging Core Laboratories.
Intracellular metacaspase activation.Caspase activity was detected by staining C. albicans cells exposed to caspofungin with D2R (CaspScreen flow cytometric apoptosis detection kit; BioVision) (9, 20). The cells were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy and quantitated using flow cytometry.
Statistical analysis.Results are presented as means and standard deviations. For nonnormally distributed values, the data were log transformed prior to statistical analyses.
Differences in results at two caspofungin concentrations were assessed using Student's t test. Comparisons of results at more than two caspofungin concentrations were made using analysis of variance (ANOVA). P values <0.05 were considered significant.
Caspofungin effects on C. albicans SC5314 viability.Our primary goal in this study was to determine if caspofungin induced both apoptosis and necrosis as mechanisms of cell death. We focused on caspofungin effects within the first 3 h of exposure for three reasons. First, a time period of 3 h was sufficient to ensure the replication of control C. albicans SC5314 cells, which doubled in concentration by this time point. Second, exposures longer than 3 h are associated with greater caspofungin kills and higher necrotic yeast populations, traits which may obscure the extent of apoptosis (7). Third, apoptotic markers, such as ROS production, may be consequences of cellular stress at later time points rather than causes of apoptosis. To begin the study, the effects of caspofungin on C. albicans SC5314 were measured by CFU enumeration following incubation of mid-exponential-phase cells in various drug concentrations (Fig. 1A). At subinhibitory caspofungin concentrations (0.06 μg/ml) for up to 3 h, growth was indistinguishable from that of the controls. At concentrations of 0.125 (MIC) and 0.5 μg/ml (4× the MIC), significant reductions from the starting inocula were first evident at 2 h. By 3 h, ∼50% reductions from starting inocula were observed (P < 0.0001); there were no significant differences between the two concentrations (P value was not significant [NS]).
Effects of caspofungin on C. albicans SC5314 viability. (A) Viability as determined by colony counts. C. albicans SC5314 cells were exposed to various concentrations of caspofungin. Data at the respective time points are mean percentages of the starting inoculum ± standard deviations. *, significant differences for 0.125 μg/ml caspofungin versus the no-drug control and 0.06 μg/ml caspofungin (P values of 0.04 and 0.01, respectively) and for 0.5 μg/ml caspofungin versus the no-drug control and 0.06 μg/ml caspofungin (P values of 0.006 and 0.0001, respectively); **, significant differences for 0.125 μg/ml caspofungin versus the no-drug control and 0.06 μg/ml caspofungin and for 0.5 μg/ml caspofungin versus the no-drug control and 0.06 μg/ml caspofungin with a P value of <0.0001. (B) Cell vitality as determined by methylene blue exclusion after exposure to caspofungin for 3 h. Data are mean cell counts (per ml) ± standard deviations at 10−4 dilutions for each caspofungin concentration. The numbers of cells that were methylene blue negative (i.e., healthy and viable) and methylene blue positive (i.e., nonviable or damaged) are presented as white and gray bars, respectively. The percentages (numbers) of cells with particular staining appear within the appropriate bars. There were significant differences in the percentage of methylene blue-positive cells between cells exposed to caspofungin and control cells (all P values < 0.05) as well as between cells exposed to caspofungin at 0.06 μg/ml and cells exposed to 0.125 μg/ml and 0.5 μg/ml caspofungin.
To further assess the effects of caspofungin on C. albicans SC5314, we used a methylene blue assay to measure cell vitality (Fig. 1B). In this assay, healthy cells exclude methylene blue whereas nonviable or damaged cells accumulate the stain. The percentages of cells that were methylene blue positive at 3 h were significantly increased following exposure to caspofungin at 0.06, 0.125, and 0.5 μg/ml compared to the no-drug control (P < 0.0001; ANOVA). Of note, there were no differences in methylene blue staining between mother and daughter cells at any of the caspofungin concentrations (data not shown).
Induction of C. albicans apoptosis and necrosis by caspofungin.To assess if killing by caspofungin occurred through induction of apoptosis and/or necrosis, we performed annexin V and PI staining. Annexin V stains phosphatidylserine, which is a negatively charged phospholipid that is translocated from the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane to the outer leaflet during early apoptosis (21). PI staining identifies necrotic cells, as it does not permeate cells with intact membranes. Therefore, staining patterns discriminate between live cells (annexin V negative [annexin V−]/PI−) and early apoptosis (annexin V+/PI−), necrosis (annexin V−/PI+), and late apoptosis/necrosis (annexin V+/PI+) (Fig. 2).
Annexin V and propidium iodide stains of C. albicans SC5314 cells exposed to caspofungin (0.125 μg/ml) for 3 h (left) and phase image (right). Note apoptotic cells that stained only green (A), late-apoptotic/necrotic cells that stained green and red (B), and necrotic cells that stained only red (C).
Annexin V and PI assays were performed on yeast spheroplasts that were prepared using Zymolyase, a cell wall-active lytic enzyme that hydrolyzes (1,3)-β-d-glucan linkages. We first performed pilot experiments to ensure that Zymolyase did not cause false-positive annexin V or PI staining. Indeed, there was no evidence for apoptosis or necrosis by these assays until Zymolyase concentrations were ≥0.1 mg/ml (data not shown). Thereafter, assays in the presence of caspofungin were performed using 0.02 mg/ml of Zymolyase. As summarized in Table 1, caspofungin at 0.06, 0.125, and 0.5 μg/ml induced early apoptosis in 20 to 25% of cells after 3 h; there were no significant differences between the percentages of early-apoptotic cells at the three concentrations (P = 0.19; ANOVA). Necrosis, on the other hand, was significantly greater in response to 0.125 and 0.5 μg/ml of caspofungin than to 0.06 μg/ml (P values of 0.003 and 0.003, respectively). The percentages of late-apoptotic/necrotic cells were 5 to 7% at the three concentrations of caspofungin (P value was NS; ANOVA).
Effects of caspofungin on early apoptosis, late apoptosis, and necrosis, as determined by annexin V and propidium iodide staining
Caspofungin effects on other markers of apoptosis. (i) ROS production.To examine apoptotic effects of caspofungin in greater detail, we first assayed ROS production by DHR-123 staining. ROS production has been implicated in the induction and regulation of the apoptotic pathway in yeast (8, 18). DHR-123 is oxidized by intracellular ROS to the fluorescent chromophore rhodamine 123. By DHR-123 staining, ROS generation by C. albicans SC5314 started at ∼2 h of exposure to caspofungin at 0.125 and 0.5 μg/ml (Fig. 3A). Control cells and cells exposed to 0.06 μg/ml of caspofungin showed little ROS accumulation. To corroborate that caspofungin caused ROS accumulation, we also performed dihydroethidium (DHE) staining on C. albicans SC5314 cells exposed to 0.125 μg/ml of caspofungin for 3 h. DHE is oxidized by ROS to ethidium, which intercalates within nucleic acids and stains cells with a bright red fluorescence. As expected, a significantly higher percentage of caspofungin-exposed cells than of the controls were positive by DHE staining (25.1% ± 4.4% versus 8.1% ± 3.3%; P < 0.0001).
Effects of caspofungin on various markers of apoptosis. (A) ROS production as determined by DHR-123 staining. There were significantly more C. albicans cells producing ROS following exposure to 0.125 and 0.5 μg/ml of caspofungin than following exposure to 0.06 μg/ml caspofungin or in the absence of the drug (control). *, significant difference in the percentage of DHR-123-positive cells between cells exposed to caspofungin and control cells; §, significant difference in the percentage of DHR-positive cells between cells exposed to caspofungin at 0.06 μg/ml and cells exposed to caspofungin at 0.125 μg/ml and 0.5 μg/ml (all P values < 0.05). (B) Mitochondrial membrane potential as determined by JC-1 staining. Beginning at 1.5 h, the percentage of cells with a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly greater following exposure to caspofungin than among all control cells (*; P < 0.0001). By 3 h, the percentage of cells with a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential was greater at concentrations of 0.125 and 0.5 μg/ml than at a concentration of 0.06 μg/ml (§; P < 0.0002). (C) DNA damage as determined by TUNEL staining. Significantly higher percentages of C. albicans cells exposed to caspofungin at all concentrations than of control cells sustained DNA fragmentation. (D) Nuclear fragmentation as demonstrated by DAPI staining. C. albicans SC5314 cells are shown following exposure to caspofungin at 0.125 μg/ml for 3 h (left) and in the absence of caspofungin (controls; right). Cells exposed to caspofungin exhibit tear-drop-shaped tubular DNA (long white arrow) and irregular, fragmented DNA (short arrow), which are typical of nuclear abnormalities associated with DNA damage during apoptosis (33, 38). In control cells, on the other hand, DAPI staining revealed a single, bright, round nucleus and peripheral cell spots corresponding to stained mitochondria.
Mitochondrial membrane potential.The dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) is a key cellular event during early apoptosis (22), which leads to the opening of the transition pores of the mitochondrial membrane and the release of apoptogenic factors into the cytosol (23). We used the vital mitochondrial dye JC-1 to investigate mitochondrial function. JC-1 selectively enters the mitochondria. In healthy cells with high ΔΨm, it spontaneously forms complexes known as J-aggregates that exhibit intense red fluorescence. In apoptotic or unhealthy cells with low ΔΨm, JC-1 remains in the monomeric form, which shows green fluorescence. As shown in Fig. 3B, significant loss of ΔΨm was observed by 1.5 h, even at the subinhibitory caspofungin concentration of 0.06 μg/ml.
DNA damage and nuclear fragmentation.During the late stages of apoptosis, chromatin is damaged because of the proteolysis of nuclear proteins, a process which results in DNA damage and chromatin condensation (24). To investigate the features of late apoptosis in response to caspofungin, we utilized TUNEL staining. The TUNEL assay measures DNA fragmentation at the single-cell level by incorporating biotylated or fluorescent dUTP at sites of free 3′ -OH in DNA (25). The percentage of C. albicans cells that exhibited TUNEL-positive nuclei following exposure to caspofungin for 3 h was significantly greater than the percentage of untreated controls exhibiting TUNEL-positive nuclei (Fig. 3C); there were no differences between cells exposed to the various concentrations of caspofungin (P value was NS; ANOVA). We corroborated these findings with those of DAPI staining (Fig. 3D). DAPI binds to AT sites within the minor groove of DNA, where its fluorescence can be assessed (8). During apoptosis, the permeability of the dye is increased, resulting in deep blue fluorescence that highlights nuclei with abnormal margins and condensed chromatin. C. albicans cells exposed to caspofungin at the different concentrations for 3 h had evidence of nuclear fragmentation associated with DNA damage, including typical tubular staining patterns (13, 21). As with TUNEL staining, there were no differences between cells exposed to the different caspofungin concentrations.
Electron microscopy.To visualize changes in intracellular morphology consistent with apoptosis, we performed electron microscopy on C. albicans SC5314 cells exposed to 0.125 μg/ml of caspofungin (Fig. 4). Images revealed nuclear blebs and chromatin margination and condensation in the nucleus after 1 h, findings that are hallmarks of cellular apoptosis.
Electron micrograph of C. albicans cells exposed to caspofungin (0.125 μg/ml) for 1 h (left) and no-drug control cells (right). Note the chromatin margination and condensation along the nucleus (large black dots indicated by a long white arrow) and blebs from the nucleus (indicated by short white arrows), which are hallmark ultrastructural signs of apoptosis, among cells exposed to caspofungin. The cells in the two panels are shown at comparable magnifications. Upon exposure to caspofungin, C. albicans cells become enlarged prior to shrinking during later stages of apoptosis.
Caspofungin effects on metacaspase activation.In C. albicans, a putative caspase (metacaspase 1) has been shown to be involved in apoptosis (26). We investigated caspase activity in response to caspofungin exposure by staining cells with D2R, which releases green fluorescent rhodamine upon cleavage by caspases. The percentage of C. albicans cells stained by D2R was significantly higher for cells exposed to all concentrations of caspofungin than for control cells at 3 h (Fig. 5). There were no significant differences in D2R staining at the different concentrations (ANOVA).
Effect of caspofungin on intracellular metacaspase activation, as determined by D2R staining. C. albicans cells exposed to caspofungin (including a subinhibitory concentration) exhibited increased metacaspase activation at 3 h compared to that of control cells.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the physiologic mechanisms of C. albicans cell death induced by caspofungin, an echinocandin that inhibits (1,3)-β-d-glucan synthesis in the cell wall. We showed that both cellular apoptosis and necrosis accounted for caspofungin-induced cell death. Our findings suggest that caspofungin and other echinocandins exert their potent fungicidal activity against Candida species by inhibiting cell wall integrity (thereby causing necrosis) in some cells and by inducing others to initiate programmed cell death (i.e., apoptosis).
We used multiple key markers of early and late apoptosis to conclusively implicate this process as a mechanism of caspofungin-induced cell death. Our primary screening assay for apoptosis was annexin V staining, which targets a fundamental apoptotic event: the plasma membrane externalization of phosphatidylserine. Apoptosis was induced within the first hour of caspofungin exposure, and early apoptosis and late apoptosis/necrosis were apparent in 20 to 25% and 5 to 7% of C. albicans cells, respectively, following 3 h exposure. The rate of early apoptosis was corroborated by assays for ROS production (DHR-123 and DHE staining) and mitochondrial membrane potential and the rate of late apoptosis by assays for DNA damage and nuclear fragmentation (TUNEL and DAPI staining). In each of the assays, apoptosis was evident at caspofungin concentrations that were less than or equal to the MIC (0.125 μg/ml). Moreover, electron microscopy of C. albicans cells exposed to 0.125 μg/ml of caspofungin clearly showed hallmark features of apoptosis. Taken together, therefore, the data suggest that caspofungin at concentrations below the MIC causes C. albicans cells to undergo apoptosis but that increasing caspofungin concentrations above the MIC does not further induce programmed cell death responses.
Previous studies have shown that several stimuli, including acetic acid (7), hydrogen peroxide (27), 1,10-phenanthroline metal complexes (28), silver-coumarin complexes (17), diallyl disulfide (29), farsenol (26), lactoferrin (30), defensins (31), and the antifungal agent amphotericin B (9), cause C. albicans cells to undergo apoptosis. Our data demonstrate that cell wall stress stemming from inhibition of (1,3)-β-d-glucan, as caused by caspofungin and Zymolyase (at concentrations ≥0.1 mg/ml), is also a trigger for apoptosis. It is well established that nonlethal exposures to caspofungin rapidly induce compensatory responses by C. albicans, including upregulation of CHS chitin synthase genes and activation of the protein kinase C (PKC) cell wall integrity signaling pathway (32, 33). PKC signaling facilitates cell survival in part through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade and cross talk with calcineurin signaling. Therefore, it appears that individual C. albicans cells may take one of the following three paths in response to caspofungin: (i) direct toxicity due to loss of cell wall integrity and cell lysis, (ii) compensatory cell wall remodeling and survival, or (iii) induction of programmed cell death. It is enticing to speculate that C. albicans has evolved mechanisms of programmed cell death (also referred to as “cellular suicide”) to eliminate cells whose vitality is impaired under given environmental conditions as a strategy to conserve resources for healthier cells that are more likely to survive and replicate efficiently (34).
Interestingly, some yeast cells exposed to amphotericin B demonstrate a capacity for resuscitation, although they cannot replicate (35). Moreover, some C. albicans cells with apoptotic markers are able to recover and form colonies on solid medium (36), indicating that early apoptosis is potentially reversible. Along these lines, it is notable that C. albicans cells in our study clearly underwent early apoptosis at a subinhibitory caspofungin concentration (0.06 μg/ml) despite the fact that there was no loss of viability by CFU determinations. In fact, cells exposed to 0.06 μg/ml of caspofungin had evidence of cell wall or plasma membrane damage, as shown by methylene blue and PI staining (40% and 31% of cells at 3 h, respectively). We conclude that C. albicans cells exposed to 0.06 μg/ml of caspofungin retained their viability (as evidenced by the CFU determinations) but had marked impairments of health and vitality (37). Indeed, it has been suggested that measurements of vitality, which assess not only live and dead organisms but also the health status of “vigorous, frail, and injured” cells, may provide a better understanding of antimicrobial activity than colony count assays (35). Of note, percentages of mother and daughter cells that exhibited methylene blue staining at given caspofungin concentrations were similar. The inhibition of newly budding daughter cells is expected, as cell walls are being rapidly synthesized, but the data for mother cells suggest that more-mature cell walls undergo continuous remodeling.
There is accumulating evidence in the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other eukaryotes that different stimuli induce different apoptotic pathways (38, 39). Caspases are classes of cysteine-aspartic acid proteases regulated at the posttranslational level which, when cleaved, convey a signal in a proteolytic cascade that induces apoptosis and leads to cell death (40). In C. albicans, a putative caspase encoded by metacaspase 1 (CaMCA1) has been shown to be involved in apoptosis (26). In this study, we used D2R, which is cleaved by caspases to release green fluorescence, to show that C. albicans caspases were activated in response to caspofungin exposure. The data imply that apoptosis of C. albicans cells proceeds, at least in part, through caspase-dependent pathways, although further study is needed to demonstrate how metacaspase 1 or other proteases contribute to this process. In addition to caspase-dependent pathways, S. cerevisiae has several caspase-like proteases, such as Kex1 and Esp1, that participate in caspase Yca1p-independent apoptotic cell death. Future studies are indicated to determine if caspase-independent pathways are also involved in regulating apoptosis upon exposure of C. albicans cells to caspofungin.
In conclusion, we demonstrated that caspofungin promoted apoptosis of C. albicans cells at concentrations below the MIC. At the same time, caspofungin also killed C. albicans cells by causing necrosis, which was the predominant physiological mechanism of cell death at concentrations greater than or equal to the MIC. The components of the apoptotic pathway(s) induced by caspofungin await further clarification, as do the roles of apoptosis and necrosis in determining the therapeutic efficacy of the echinocandins. In addition, future studies of caspofungin-resistant C. albicans fks mutant strains may identify off-target effects of the echinocandins that induce apoptosis. Our findings have relevance for understanding the mechanisms by which echinocandins exert anticandidal activity and suggest that the benefits of antifungal agents may be augmented by strategies that induce apoptosis or apoptosis-like cell death.

Deb MacLatchy, Vice President: Academic
Paul Jessop, Acting Vice President: Academic
Kathryn Carter, Associate Vice President: Teaching and Learning
Dear Deb, Paul and Kathryn,
As the Chairs and Program Coordinators in the Faculty of Arts we are writing to express our deep concern with the March 13 announcement of the “strategic new directions for teaching and learning” at Laurier (see:
https://legacy.wlu.ca/news_detail.php?grp_id=0&nws_id=15837). We have two major concerns: first, the “new direction” places increased emphasis on student services and extra-curricular programs for students at the expense of teaching support and pedagogical development. Merging the Centre for Teaching Innovation and Excellence with the Centre for Student Success will likely result in a Centre with confused responsibilities, and the move seems to undermine the teaching mission of the University. An increased emphasis on co-curricular records, career development for students, and other student support services should not come at the expense of resources that directly support teaching.
The second issue of concern is the firing of three long-serving, well-respected Laurier employees: Gail Roth (Manager, Community Service Learning), Lisa Fanjoy (Manager, Online Learning), and Jeanette McDonald (Manager, Faculty Programming). We became aware of the firings through word-of-mouth which is insulting to those whose jobs were terminated as well as to those of us who have worked closely with these valuable staff members over our careers at Laurier. The way in which this “new direction” was announced, with no mention made of jobs eliminated, and no ability to speak with those who were fired, flies in the face of the strong sense of community and collegiality Laurier actively promotes as core to its institutional identity.
Gail Roth was central to the early development and expansion of a key pillar in Laurier’s strategic plan – experiential learning grounded in community engagement – and to its integration into the academic life at Laurier. Gail and her team created a large network of community contacts, formalized the process of Community Service Learning in order to ensure that it was pedagogically sound through new online tools, and brought the non-profit sector more closely into contact with Laurier’s internal workings. For those of us who wanted to build CSL into our courses, she provided critical support. Gail was essential to the establishment of several key initiatives and programs in the Faculty of Arts including our popular and innovative Community Engagement Option.
Lisa Fanjoy was at the heart of early efforts to expand Laurier’s means of delivering its offerings. She worked actively with departments to encourage the creation of online courses and support faculty as they undertook this challenging process. She made herself readily available in order to coordinate between members of development teams and faculty members, and she was adept at explaining the online development process in plain and clear language. She played a lead role in the establishment of the first fully online degree in the Faculty of Arts, offered through the Department of Religion and Culture. One of Lisa’s many strengths was her ability to build a network of relationships in Arts that would help to achieve the university’s goals; it has been quite clear that her absence recently has coincided with a lack of ideal communication, coordination, and support in this area.
We are particularly shocked and disheartened with the firing of Jeanette McDonald because she is a highly regarded figure in the field of teaching and learning in Canada. In addition to over 10 published articles on teaching and learning and numerous conference presentations and workshops, Jeanette is the recipient of several awards. For example, in 2013 she won the President’s Award for Team Achievement at Laurier. In 2014 she was co-winner of the Pat Rogers Poster Prize at the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. And, most recently, in 2016 she was awarded the highly prestigious Distinguished Educational Development Career Award from the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. As described on the STLHE website, the award “recognizes individuals for their contributions and leadership in educational development at the local provincial and national levels.” Given Jeanette’s considerable achievements, and her excellent reputation among faculty at Laurier, it is truly shocking that her job was declared redundant and her position terminated. No other person in CTIE has Jeanette’s expertise. Jeanette has been a tireless supporter of teaching and learning at Laurier and has been an invaluable resource for faculty whether they are new to the university, mid-career or senior members. As faculty members we rely on Jeanette’s expertise to become better teachers, something that is of direct benefit to our many thousands of students. Firing Jeanette was a monumental oversight.
We are troubled by the “strategic new directions for teaching and learning” at Laurier, specifically the cutting of valuable teaching support services and the firing of staff members. We ask that you re-introduce a robust network of support for teaching at the University, staffed by experts in the field. And we hope that future decision-making on the teaching and learning mission of the University will be considerably more collegial and collaborative.

1 Response to Letter responding to the “strategic new directions for teaching and learning” from the Faculty of Arts
Harrison P. Istachio says:
In reading this article it takes me back to middle school and the remembrance of teachers in and out of class. The memory of almost every teachers family is vivid in my mind because of the small class sizes and personal capability of the teacher pupil relationship. By no means have I ever witnessed a more dedicated staff than the group that sent me out into furthering my knowledge and development of life skills. In our time things were much different less advanced and slower. But books were used also. Teachers actually got paper cuts not carpiltunnel. But all the same it’s the relationship a student has with a teacher that really decides the barriers of their capabilities. Also relationships with the class as a whole. I can remember a classmate standing up and roughing up another young man one time for continuously disrupting class. But all the same it was not the correct choice. I also think about the teachers lives and how they were affected by the career. Perhaps a good example would be the birth of a son or daughter. Which I believe a couple of times affected my own class. The preparation by students as well as faculty but the time away is what really stands out. A substitute teacher ,in most cases , is usually a stand in or more so a hall monitor type character to the class instead of the respected authority figure of everyday. Most times taken advantage by the lax demeanor or carefree loose attitude of the position of “babysitter”. But in extended scenarios as the welcoming of a son or daughter, the stand in would step up and gain the trust and respect of our class. We all know these characteristics are a must and not easily achieved by person’s in this position. But the personal relationships matter in getting the bridge in place for a successful semester. And communication is the key. No teacher ever had to fight for my attention nor substitute. I’ve always seen schools as family establishments rather than business, so I always was supportive of all faculty in any way. Maybe a bit disruptive at times but never defiantly or militiously. Calling my favorite teacher of all “mom” really did express my respect for her. And when family matters arise I knew they come before career. But sometimes students would take situations personally or for granted and seem to affect the main goal of the school year but always found rhythm needed for a class to succeed. I still remember seeing “Moms” face when she brought her newborn son Matthew to meet the class. I have to admit jealousy made itself known but knowing now that baby was the biggest thing to have ever happened to “Mom” and the following school year was like she never missed a day.

There are two main reasons you still hear 70’s music on the radio. 1) the copyright has run out and the station doesn’t have to pay royalties any more, and 2) the music is better than everything else out there. Your music falls into the second category.

A Small Victory for Three Elephants
JUDGE RULES L.A. ZOO ELEPHANTS ARE NOT HEALTHY, HAPPY, OR THRIVING
In 2007, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of actor Robert Culp (now deceased) and real estate broker Aaron Leider seeking to close the redesigned elephant exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo (L.A. Zoo) as the new exhibit still did not provide the space and natural conditions the elephants need for health and well-being.
On Tuesday July 24th, California Superior Court Judge John L. Segal issued an injunction against the L.A. Zoo prohibiting the use of bull hooks and electric shock, required the zoo to till the soil in the exhibit regularly, and to exercise the elephants a minimum of two hours a day.
Judge Segal stated in his 56 page decision, “All is not well at the Los Angeles Zoo. Contrary to what the zoo’s representatives may have told the Los Angeles City Council in order to get construction of the $42 million exhibit approved and funded, the elephants are not healthy, happy or thriving.”
Tina and Jewel have been at the L.A. Zoo since November 2010

The Elephants of Asia exhibit consists of two acres of useable space subdivided into five yards. The three L.A. Zoo elephants, Billy, Tina, and Jewel, have lived there since it opened in 2010. Since the exhibits inception, animal advocates have stated it does not provide adequate room for the elephants to exercise and does not enrich their lives. Judge Segal agreed, saying “the quality of life that Billy, Tina, and Jewel endure in their captivity is particularly poor.” He was also critical of zookeepers’ knowledge of elephant behavior.
Billy has been at the L.A. Zoo since 1989
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) has been campaigning for the closure of the L.A. Zoo elephant exhibit for over 27 years. LCA’s Special Investigation Unit provided the prosecution with undercover footage of Billy, when he was young, being brutally beaten during training. Billy has been at the L.A. Zoo since 1989; Tina and Jewel arrived in November 2010.
LCA’s Chris DeRose said: “I applaud the decision of Judge Segal and actions of Aaron Leider and the late Robert Culp. The L.A. Zoo elephant exhibit should be closed for good and the elephants relocated to a sanctuary where they can have the room they need to roam, forage and bond with other elephants. To quote Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa, “A zoo is not an appropriate place for an animal as large as an elephant.””

Kitten Attack!
Beware of Kitten! (Not for the faint of heart!)
A Life is a Life
In the wake of the extremely tragic shooting last night in Aurora Colorado at the movie theater, I have been contemplating the sanctity of life. It is indeed horrifying what that guy did at the theater. Why can’t we have the expectation of going to a movie and enjoying ourselves without fear that some lunatic asshole is going to start blasting away with absolutely no regard for human life? Don’t we have the expectation of safety anymore when we go out in public? Do we all have to arm ourselves and barricade our front doors and become hermits in our own homes?
And although it is not NEAR as tragic as what this guy did last night, isn’t it also tragic how easily we can take an animal’s life? How easy and convenient it is to keep a dog or a horse we don’t really love chained to a tree outside in the blazing sun? Or how we can elect to make an animal our pet just to ignore and abuse and not feed it? Is an animal’s life worth as much as a human life? No. Animals don’t provide the same (in some cases) benefit to humanity. But still, shouldn’t even what many consider a “dumb” animal have the expectation of a pain free life without the constant fear of man? I mean if they don’t deserve that right in your eyes, then don’t raise them. Completely divorce yourself from any contact with them. And that includes eating them. If you can’t respect animal life, then chances are, you probably don’t have the highest regard for human life either.
Perhaps equating human and animal lives is not valid. Perhaps it is. Isn’t every living, breathing being just as worthy of life?

You put your right foot out;
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,

Is it just that simple? Showing up everyday and putting your right foot in and out? Could life possibly really be that simple? Have we made putting that right foot in so complicated that life is no longer just a silly little dance we all must get through?

Unrelated (but related) to animal rights, I am today pondering a couple of questions related to religion.
Jesus, according to the christian bible, was a poor Jewish carpenter, who lived a humble life of poverty. So, why is it then, that there are so many super rich “christians” especially those mega church pastors? If you are supposed to emulate and live like Jesus, who was by no means rich, how are you being a true follower?
If we are alone here in this vast universe, and we are the only habitable planet in the entire expanse of space, why did god create the entire universe as vast and magnificent as it is, knowing that we would be the only tiny little speck inhabited? Knowing we would never see all there is to see out there, why did he “create” it all? And, if there are other worlds out there, did he create those planets and populate them with the same types of people as we are? Did they require a “savior” too because their version of “Adam and Eve” also ate of the apple, or kumquat, or whatever the equivalent fruit was?
And if god gave dominion over all of the animals of the earth to man, did he or does he condone the incredible cruelty and violence we commit on these animals? Did he give them emotional lives and feelings, and family structures just so man could destroy them at every turn? And if he doesn’t condone this cruelty, how can any “christian” eat or use animal products? Why would they not all be Vegans?
A Miracle Rescue
From Huffington Post:
SALT LAKE CITY — A baby golden eagle is recovering at a wildlife rehabilitation facility after officials say it miraculously survived a Utah wildfire last month.
But the veteran Utah Division of Wildlife Resources volunteer found the burned bird alive on June 28 behind a charred tree, about 25 feet below the nest that was burned to a crisp in the 5,500-acre Dump Fire near Saratoga Springs.
“I thought there was no chance he would be alive. I was stunned when I saw him standing there,” Keller said. “I thought maybe I could rebuild the nest a little bit, but I took a good look at him and realized that was not going to happen.”
The 70-day-old eaglet had suffered burns on his talons, beak, head and wings. His flight feathers were melted down to within an inch or two of his wing and tail. He’s very underweight at just over five pounds.
Keller realized the eagle would not fly for at least a year and that the parents eventually would stop providing food. Not a stick from the nest was left after the fire sparked by target shooters swept through
“I’ve seen nests burn before, but this is the first year I have seen one burn with young in it,” he told the Tribune. “They are usually long gone and flying when fire season starts.”
After permission was secured from state and federal wildlife agencies, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah in Ogden assumed care of the eaglet this week.
“I wasn’t sure he was going to make it,” said DaLyn Erickson, executive director of the center. “He kind of had that look like he may have given up.”
But the eagle named Phoenix has since taken to eating beef heart and venison. He’s treated several times a day for his burns and seems to be gaining strength.
“He looks good now,” said Amber Hansen, a member of the center’s board of directors. “But we think if he had been there (at the nest site) another day, he probably would not have survived.”
What seems to have saved his life during the fire was the insulation offered by his down feathers and once-thick body, according to the wildlife rehabilitation center.
Officials hope the bird can be released back into the wild next year, but say it’s too early to tell about its future. Volunteers will work to keep him as wild as possible.
“It depends on how much follicle damage there is to his wings,” Hansen said. “If they are not too burned, he should be able to molt into new feathers next year and hopefully be able to fly.”
Shelters Overburdened During the Summers
For many reasons, animal shelter get overwhelmed in Summers especially with cats/kittens. You can help by visiting one of your local shelters and finding a new family member to adopt. Many of the smaller shelters such as SARA Sanctuary in Seguin, Texas especially find themselves in financial difficulty because they are generally not in the city, and are not the recipients of many donations.
From The Huffington Post:
Animal Shelters Overburdened With Cats In Summer (What You Can Do)
LOS ANGELES — Summer at animal shelters across the country means more animals, more work, more bills and more worries.
And there are sometimes fewer staffers, volunteers and donations to handle it.
At the majority of animal shelters in the country, kittens make up problem Nos. 1 through 10 every summer, said Dr. Kate F. Hurley, director of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at the University of California at Davis Center for Companion Animal Health.
“Kitten season” starts in the spring and ends in the fall in most parts of the country — a single unspayed female cat can have up to two litters of four or more kittens each.
The Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department gets hundreds of kittens during the summer, but it “feels like millions,” said director Barbara Bruin.
“People are more likely to get a dog fixed than a cat, more likely to microchip a dog than a cat and more likely to claim a dog than a cat. Cats are the throwaways and we end up with way too many litters,” she said.
Many kittens die because they are brought in so young they have to be bottle-fed and there aren’t enough hands, she said. Disease in younger kittens also takes a toll. “We lose a lot of kittens this time of year,” Bruin said.
Yolo County Animal Services in Woodland, near the university, normally takes in about 150 cats a month. From May to October, though, that number jumps to 300, Hurley said. The Dumb Friends League, which operates shelters in Colorado, had 350 to 400 cats in February but 751 on June 1, said spokesman Chris Gallegos.
Adding to the population explosion at shelters are puppy litters, runaway dogs (kids leave doors and gates open), dogs hit by cars and dogs rescued from hot cars.
In the past, shelters in college towns would have a rush of abandoned pets when school let out, but that’s been changing in recent years, Hurley said. There are a few owners who will dump their pets so they can go on vacation, but with that kind of owner, the pets are probably better off, Bruin said.
Extra animals don’t mean more room, more staff or more money, Hurley said. “It’s a huge challenge and it comes at the same time a lot of us think about our vacations.”
Location can cause different sets of problems. June is the start of hurricane season, so in Florida that means extra feeding, cleaning and adoption events to place more animals and more time spent working in the rain and preparing for storms, said Janet Winikoff, director of education at the Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County in Florida.
In some cities, shelters lose volunteers because students go home, snowbirds go north and helpers go on vacation. Some shelters are lucky and the number of volunteers goes up.
The Richmond (Va.) Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals averages 350 volunteers between September and May and 415 from June to August, said chief operating officer Tamsen Kingry. “Much of this increase is due to college students and high schoolers spending time with us during their summer vacations,” she said.
Lucky volunteers might be asked to work early or late to exercise animals when it’s coolest, but most staff and volunteers have to deal with the heat if they are responding to cruelty and neglect cases, hauling equipment, mucking out stalls or doing other daytime chores.
Besides food bills and utility bills, summer medical costs go up at most shelters.
“Fleas and ticks are horrible in the summer, and this year is worse than ever because we had a mild winter that did not kill them off,” said Whitney Jones, animal care manager at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County, Tenn. “We purchase flea and tick medication in bulk to manage these costs, but yes, treating active flea and tick infestations does get pricey.”
Medicine for heartworm — transmitted by mosquitoes — is another necessity, especially in damper parts of the country.
All of this comes while donations universally go down in the summer. But there is a bright side: Adoptions generally go up.
“We usually have an increase in adoptions, especially in recent years with the downturn in the economy,” said Madeline Bernstein, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles. “More people declined family vacations or big purchases (like a boat or recreational vehicle) and instead chose to adopt a pet.”
Last year in Richmond, about 30 percent of the animals placed all year were adopted in June, July and August, Kingry said.
“Many families come to us during the summer because they tend to spend more time at home, and children are out of school and can bond with the new family member,” she said.
Further Proof…
That animals are more than just “stupid things” to use and abuse as we see fit.

Is sulfur in the water bad for you?
If the sulfur content in my well water is a little high, is it still safe to drink? Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is sometimes present in well water. A few tenths of a milligram of hydrogen sulfide per liter can cause drinking water to have a rotten-egg odor. While unpleasant, it is not harmful to health.
Is sulfur dioxide safe to eat?
Sulfur dioxide might not sound good enough to eat, but this food preservative does make its way into a number of edibles, including dried fruits such as raisins, dried apricots and prunes. Sulfur dioxide is one type of sulfite, a preservative whose name might be more familiar.

What does happen to Sulphur on burning it in air?
A sample of yellow powdered sulfur in a deflagrating spoon is ignited until it burns spontaneously in air with a light blue flame. The burning sulfur is then inserted into the flask. The sulfur reacts with oxygen in the flask to form sulfur dioxide gas, which then dissolves in the water, forming sulfurous acid.

Tucked between the Black and Caspian Seas, in the shadow of Europe’s highest mountains, you’ll find Georgia—a tiny country with an astounding culinary heritage and a winemaking tradition tracing back eight millennia. We’ll be delving into this appetizing wonderland as spring bursts on the scene in all its seasonal glory—perhaps the most inspiring time of the year. On this mouthwatering gastronomic adventure, we’ll explore in and around the capital of Tbilisi, paying homage to Svetitskhovloba, the country’s holiest site, before dipping into some of the finest wine from one of the most underrated wine regions in the world. We’ll also spend two days in the stunning Alazani Valley, where we’ll experience the deep reverence for winemaking that defines this land. Along the way, we’ll take in unique performances, visit little-known spots, and to cap things off, learn to cook our own Georgian feast, or supra.
Our partner, Culinary Backstreets: In order to create and curate this unique experience, we've partnered closely with Culinary Backstreets, a global guide to local eats that publishes restaurant reviews and features on local culinary culture. They bring these stories to life on culinary tours and special events, offered in 12 cities around the world, and have extensive international experience with all things gastronomical.

Day 1: Welcome to Tbilisi
We encourage travelers to ease into this trip and allow some extra time to acclimate, especially as most flights to Tbilisi arrive in the wee hours of the morning. We’ll arrange private pickup from the airport to your hotel, where you’ll have time to rest. In the late afternoon, we’ll meet for introductions and a welcome dinner at Shavi Lomi, a house-turned-restaurant featuring a twist on traditional Georgian dishes as well as classic favorites. Over dinner, we’ll properly introduce ourselves and get an overview of the exciting—and delicious—week ahead.

Day 2: Unraveling the Secrets of the Feast
Today we’ll explore the building blocks of the Georgian supra table—tracking down warm loaves of tonis puri, fresh from an oven in the basement of a historic seminary, and learning and tasting traditional essentials from spice blenders, pickle makers, cheesemongers and herbsmen in a colorful bazaar (not to mention fresh Georgian cheese, honey, and delicious churchkhelas, strings of nuts dipped in a thick roux of grape juice). We’ll feast on khinkali, the iconic dumplings of the land, and taste the latest wines from the kvevri at the city’s first wine bar. We’ll wind down the day with early, relaxing dinner in a traditional courtyard. If you have energy left after dinner, feel free to wander the streets of the Sololaki neighborhood, where you’ll find no shortage of bars and cafes.
Day 3: Pilgrimage Site & Winery Visit
In the morning we’ll make the short drive to Mtskheta, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the birthplace of Georgian Christianity. In the 4th century, this site was chosen by St. Nino for the first church in Georgia. Believed to be the burial site of Christ’s mantle, it is one of the most sacred places in the country. We’ll then continue to the Shida Kartli region, considered the heart of Georgia, which once produced wine for the Georgian kings. We’ll visit the cellar of the Wine Artisans, an association of winemakers dedicated to making traditional natural wines. Our host, Andro Barnovi, will walk us through the winemaking process and also prepare a luscious country supper.
Day 4: Kakheti Explorations & Rustic Supra
Spread beneath the majestic Caucasus Mountains like an enormous grape basket is the Alazani Valley. Located in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia, this could very well be the most breathtaking wine region in the world. After a morning drive from Tbilisi to Kakheti, we’ll arrive around lunchtime for meal at the home of a local cheesemaker and sample the wines made in her village. This evening, an authentic, rustic supra awaits us; we’ll get to participate in the preparation and toast our host family at their table. Tonight, we’ll stay in the Alazani Valley in a comfortable boutique hotel, dreaming of all things delicious.
Chateau Mere, Kakheti
Breakfast, Lunch, Feast
Day 5: Wine & Kvevri of Kakheti
Our day will begin with a visit to the home of a master maker of kvevri. We’ll be walked through the ancient process of making the ceramic vessels that Georgians still use to store and ferment wine. Meanwhile, in a nearby village, celebrated winemaker Irakli Bluishvili will welcome us into his home-cum-wine cellar for a sophisticated take on the village feast. While dinner is being prepared, we’ll meander into the woods to visit the 8th-century Father David church and see the ruins of an ancient wine cellar. After the last toast is made (and we’ve washed down our tomato and eggplant salad, sheep cheese, barbecued pork, and fresh bread), we’ll head back to Tbilisi for a good night’s rest.
Day 6: Best in Show: Khachapuri & Performance
Saving some of the best for last, we’ll begin the day with the Adjaruli khachapuri. To give you a sense of what to expect, picture a baked barge of dough packing a cargo of gooey cheese topped with a mostly raw egg yolk and a slowly melting Snickers-sized gob of butter. We’ll then enjoy an exclusive performance by the Sukhishvili National Ballet, a true acrobatic spectacle. After a short rest, we’ll meet for our final feast, which we’ll prepare together with a local chef. We’ll gather around a table for one more supra together—this time, accompanied by a group of polyphonic singers—and raise our glasses to a wonderful and delicious week.

Trip FAQ
I have a dietary restriction. Can I still join the trip?
We encourage an adventurous palate! However, if you’d like to avoid meat, the Georgian diet is vegetarian-friendly, so we can almost always supplement a non-meat dish. Avoiding gluten, on the other hand, will be challenging. If you’d like to join but are gluten-intolerant, you’ll need to bring and/or buy a steady stash of snacks to supplement your meals.

Israel Targets Syrian Artillery Positions & Ammunitions Truck in 2nd Incident in 2 Days
June 26, 2017 Asif Aziz Military Comments Off on Israel Targets Syrian Artillery Positions & Ammunitions Truck in 2nd Incident in 2 Days
The IDF struck two artillery launchers and an ammunition truck on the Syrian side of the border after “several Syrian projectiles” landed in Israeli territory without causing any casualties. A similar incident occurred in the same Golan Heights region on Saturday.
“In response to several Syrian projectiles launched towards Israel, IDF targeted 2 Syrian regime artillery positions & an ammunitions truck,” the Israel Defense Forces tweeted on their official feed on Sunday afternoon.
The tweet came three hours after the IDF said Syrian projectiles had “hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights,” while noting that “no injuries were reported.”
Moments ago, several projectiles fired from Syria hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights. No injuries reported.
— IDF (@IDFSpokesperson) June 25, 2017
In response to several Syrian projectiles launched towards Israel, IDF targeted 2 Syrian regime artillery positions & an ammunitions truck
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that even shells reaching Israeli territory accidentally would be met with a swift retribution.
“Our policy is clear: We will not tolerate any spillover or trickle whatsoever – neither mortars nor rockets, from any front,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday, vowing “we will respond strongly to any attack on our territory or our citizens,” according to the AP.
On Saturday, the IDF ordered an airstrike less than an hour after about 10 stray shells landed on Israel’s side of the border near Quneitra, where President Assad’s forces are battling Al-Nusra Front militants. Israel said that two tanks were destroyed.
Citing military sources, Syria’s SANA state news agency reported: “Israeli warplanes attacked services facilities and residential buildings… claiming a number of lives and causing material damage.”
Israel does not openly participate in the Syrian conflict, but since 2013 it has carried out several officially unacknowledged air strikes on its neighbor’s territory. According to Israeli officials, these have targeted the weapons supply routes of the Hezbollah militant movement, Israel’s Lebanon-based adversary.
In March, Syria said that it had launched anti-aircraft missiles aimed at Israeli military jets after they conducted airstrikes near the city of Palmyra, and were returning to base. Syrian media reported that one plane was downed, but Israel denied any losses.
According to the IDF, one of the Syrian projectiles was itself intercepted by an Israeli Arrow-2 missile, prompting Israel to disclose that its planes were operating in foreign airspace.

37th Gawad Urian Winner Predictions 2 comments
The glory days of local Philippine awards night have been over, and right now, there are only two remaining interesting citation giving bodies: the Young Critics Circle and the Manunuri (and my own Titties awards of course lol). That said, the YCC already gave their citation last April while the Manunuri will be handling out their awards tomorrow. And in line with that, I’ll be going on a limb and try to predict who’ll end up with those huge silver trophies tomorrow in all 12 categories.
Dukit
Ang Kuwento ni Mabuti
Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan
Riddles of my Homecoming
With how huge Norte was last year, I think it will be an easy win for this Cannes Un Certain regard entry to receive the top prize for tomorrow’s ceremony. Besides, it’s not as if Lav Diaz has been over-rewarded here before (his films only won twice, for 2001’s Batang Westside and 2004’s Ebolusyon ng Isang Pamilyang Pilipino). To add more confidence in its side, it’s also the top nominated film for this year, and you’d notice the trend that it is indeed one of their most loved films this year. That said though, if they want to spread the wealth, I can see the other top nomination receiver, Dukit, getting the most coveted award instead.
Prediction: Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan
Alternate: Dukit
BEST DIRECTING
Whammy Alcazaren, “Islands”
Adolf Alix Jr.. “Porno”
Mes de Guzman, “Ang Kuwento ni Mabuti”
Lav Diaz, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Hannah Espia, “Transit”
Peque Gallaga, Lore Reyes, “Sonata”
Jeffrey Jeturian, “Ekstra”
Armando Lao, “Dukit”
Arnel Mardoquio, “Riddles of My Homecoming”
Erik Matti, “On the Job”
Chito Rono, “Badil”
Alvin Yapan, “Mga Anino ng Kahapon”
Choosing in a field of twelve is already a difficult task to do, though I guess I have to remove those previous winners already: Adolf Alix, Mes de Guzman, Lav Diaz, Peque Gallaga, Jeffrey Jeturian, Arnel Mardoquio, Chito Rono, and Alvin Yapan. Then you also have Urian winners Armando Lao and Whammy Alcazaren (despite in other categories). That leaves us with veteran director Erik Matti and Hannah Espia. I have a hunch that Espia has more chance in Editing for Transit (and I’m predicting her there), so I guess I’ll be going with Erik Matti. I mean he’s overdue for an Urian right? Plus, On the Job is a very flashy directorial work that I can see the Manunuri going for. If not him though, I expect a second win for Lav Diaz because really, it’s quite a shame that he has only won here only once yet.
Prediction: Erik Matti, “On the Job”
Alternate: Lav Diaz, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Mark Gil, “Philippino Story”
Jhong Hilario, “Badil”
Mimi Juareza, “Quick Change”
Sid Lucero, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Alex Medina, “Babagwa”
Ping Medina, “Transit”
Joel Torre, “On the Job”
Speaking of repeat winners, this surprisingly short line up (remember the 15 nominee group last year?) I think is between two past champs: 2001 champ for Batang Westside Joel Torre and 2010 champ for Muli, Sid Lucero. Lucero has the longer role and one that is very demanding as well that I won’t be surprised if the voters fall in love with such. That said, Torre’s 2013 is some sort of a career best comeback that let him lead not only one, but two brave performances of the last year (the other was for Borgy Torres’ Kabisera). Having that advantage would make me predict him for the win. Outside of those two though, I guess I’d go with Alex Medina as the other feasible winner. The Urian has a history of proclaiming the hot young handsome actor in this category (see Christopher de Leon in 1978, Philip Salvador in 1979, Richard Gomez in 1991, Aga Muhlach in 1995, Jason Abalos in 2007, Sid Lucero in 2010, Paulo Avelino in 2011, and Jericho Rosales last year) and Alex Medina fits that bill. But I’m still going with Joel Torre on this one.
Prediction: Joel Torre, “On the Job”
Alternate: Sid Lucero, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Nora Aunor, “Ang Kuwento ni Mabuti”
Angeli Bayani, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Rustica Carpio, “Ano Ang Kulay ng Mga Nakalimutang Pangarap?”
Eugene Domingo, “Instant Mommy”
Cherie Gil, “Sonata”
Agot Isidro, “Mga Anino ng Kahapon”
Teri Malvar, “Ang Huling Chacha ni Anita”
Vilma Santos, “Ekstra”
Lorna Tolentino, “Burgos”
Vivian Velez, “Bendor”
Definitely the most talked about and interesting category of the night (I won’t even be surprised if this one is handed out after Best Picture because it’s the Philippines after all), but this one revives the Nora-Vilma rivalry in a big way. Currently though, Vilma is all time Urian champ here with 8 wins, but Nora is closely behind her with 7 wins. If Vilma wins, she’d inch farther with 9, but if Nora wins, they’d both be tied at 8. Do you think they’ll just give them a tie and call it a day? I think there’s a probable chance of that happening. After all, it will please everyone and the mileage will really be huge. And despite the two being nominated alongside with each other during the 80s and early 90s, this possibility is unprecedented yet. In the event that happens, everyone leaves happy. However, they can also do a cop out and instead reward the eight other women here. I think the biggest possible spoiler is Angeli Bayani whose 2013 is definitely a career best for her. Making waves at almost all film festivals here, an Urian Best Actress is a nice cap off to her 2013 achievement. And that’s who I’m predicting to win here. If not her, then I expect Vilma to receive her ninth win here. Nora just had her spotlight last year, I’m sure they won’t hesitate shifting the momentum to Vilma this year.
Prediction: Angeli Bayani, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Alternate: Vilma Santos, “Ekstra”
Art Acuna, “Kabisera”
Archie Alemania, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Carlo Aquino, “Porno”
John Arcilla, “Metro Manila”
Victor Basa, “Lauriana”
Joey Marquez, “On the Job”
Cesar Montano, “Ang Alamat ni China Doll”
Bor Ocampo, “Dukit”
Junjun Quintana, “A Philippino Story”
Yul Servo, “Porno”
As for the supporting actors, unless Art Acuna pulls off a threepeat (which I doubt happens but I won’t be surprised if he actually does), I think it will be a battle of the two overdue Porno guys (that sounded wrong no? lol). Both Urian-less Yul Servo and Carlo Aquino are the ones I’m confident about in this category. Carlo Aquino is now on his sixth bid for a win while Yul Servo is on his fifth. You can really just toss a coin with this one, but I guess I’m going with the latter – no reasons why.
Prediction: Yul Servo, “Porno”
Alternate: Carlo Aquino, “Porno”
Angel Aquino, “Porno”
Angel Aquino, “Ang Huling Chacha ni Anita”
Jasmine Curtis, “Transit”
Ruby Ruiz, “Ekstra”
Michelle Smith, “Angustia”
Raquel Villavicencio, “Dukit”
Call it the “Johnny Delgado Rule”. When it comes to Urian, compete against yourself in one category and you’d end up winning the trophy. It was in 1980 when Johnny Delgado competed against himself for for Brutal and Kakabakaba Ka Ba? and he ended up with a Supporting Actor win for the latter. Then in 1986, Jaclyn Jose was nominated twice for Best Actress: Private Show and Takaw Tukso, also winning for the latter. Fast forward to last year in this same category where Alessandra de Rossi was nominated for both Mater Dolorosa and Santa Nina, and she finally clinched her first Urian for the former. As a matter of fact, this statistic is so strong that it only faltered once (Nora Aunor who was nominated for both Bulaklak sa City Jail and ‘Merika only to lose to a threepeat Vilma Santos win for Sister Stella L.) Why am I writing about this though? It’s because I think this rule will apply again to twice nominated Angel Aquino. I had her both as a prediction and alternate and I’ll just wait which one sticks. Like de Rossi last year, Aquino hasn’t won an Urian yet, and I’m choosing Porno by a hair since they seem to like the overall film better and that it’s her flashier and more “physically demanding” work.
Prediction: Angel Aquino, “Porno”
Alternate: Angel Aquino, “Ang Huling Chacha ni Anita”
Now as for the rest of the categories…
Prediction: Lav Diaz, Rody Vera, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Alternate: Michicko Yamamoto, Erik Matti, “On the Job“
PRODUCTION DESIGN:
Prediction: Adolf Alix, “Porno”
Alternate: Richard Somes, “On the Job”
Prediction: Rene Manda, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Alternate: Albert Banzon, “Porno”
Prediction: Gauss Obenza, “Riddles of my Homecoming”
Alternate: Perry Dizon, “Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan”
Prediction: Benjamin Tolentino, Hannah Espia, “Transit”

India is the new Australia: Wasim Akram
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s leadership has changed the face of Indian cricket, according to Pakistan’s pace legend Wasim Akram who believes it is a matter of time before India upstages Australia as the number one team in the world.
Akram said Dhoni has completely transformed the team ever since he took over the mantle of captaincy and that Indian cricket was on the right track with a number of talented players in their ranks.
“Dhoni has changed the face of Indian cricket, there is no doubt about that. He leads from the front, he has charisma and players like him. You can’t ask for anything more,” Akram said in a telephonic interview.
“He has given the team the confidence. The players now believe that they can go and beat any team and it is this confidence that has helped India to bring about the desired results,” the former Pakistan captain said.
Akram, regarded as one of the finest left-arm speedsters with 414 Test and 502 ODI wickets to his credit in a career spanning nearly 17 years, said Dhoni had also brought about a refreshing change in his attitude and approach to matches.
“It does not matter whether Sachin Tendulkar is resting or some other players are injured, the Indians are so confident that they go out and do the job. It was not the case about six or seven years ago, India did not have that confidence,” he observed.
“If the captain leads from the front, half the job is done. That is what I like about Dhoni. He is cool, comes out with few quotes and gets the best out of his players,” Akram said.
“Leading the Chennai team in the upcoming Champions League will be a good challenge for him since there will be a lot of international teams,” he said.
Asked whether India would be able to topple Australia as the number one team in the near future, Akram said “India is the new Australia. I think they are on the right track to achieve that”.
Akram also lavished praise on India’s new pace sensation Ishant Sharma saying the Delhi youngster had improved by leaps and bounds in the last few months.
“Ishant has been a revelation. He has really improved in the last few months and I think he is a real asset to India,” Akram said about the paceman who emerged as the man-of-the-series in the recent Test series against Australia.
“After the Australian tour late last year, his length was slightly short. But he has now rectified that and was simply brilliant in the recent series against Australia. The way he bowled, it seemed he had been around in Test cricket for five years or so,” he said.
The cricketer-turned-commentator said Ishant will only get better with time but also cautioned that the youngster needed to be handled well to prolong his career.
“He (Ishant) will get quicker and better with time, there is no doubt about it. He just has to keep himself fit as fast bowling is hard work,” Akram pointed out.
He said the Indian bowling line-up looked quite balanced at the moment and the presence of an in-form Zaheer Khan has provided a lot more sting.
“Zaheer has been fantastic. He has bowled the reverse swing well, got the ball to swing in and out… he has become a complete bowler now. He really provides that cutting edge to the attack,” he said.
“India always had good spinners but I am happy to see these pacemen developing. They are winning matches for India”, Akram said.
The ex-pacer said Harbhajan Singh was capable enough to shoulder the responsibility in the spin department following the retirement of champion leg spinner Anil Kumble.
“Harbhajan is a good spinner. It is now upto him to take upon the responsibility in the spin department. I think he is capable of doing it and also has the experience”.
Akram also credited India’s rise as a cricketing nation to the planning done by the BCCI over the last few years.
“Credit must also go the BCCI for India’s rise in recent times. They have planned and implemented everything well. The results have started coming now,” he added.

Ganguly batted like a champion: Kris Srikanth
Selection committee chairman Krish Srikkanth showered praise
on Sourav Ganguly on Friday. “He’s really batted like a true champion
right through in his farewell series. He’s put his heart and soul into it. I
feel so happy and proud for him. It’s nice to see him going out on a
high,” Srikkanth told.
Ganguly has set the adrenalin flowing, batting attractively and playing some
crucial knocks in this series while notching up 324 runs at an impressive
average of 64.80.
Perhaps the only tinge of sadness for Srikkanth was to see the Bengal Tiger
getting out when he looked set for a hundred. “I
told Sourav that he’s got to get a hundred in his 100th Test. He was going
great guns but it was God’s will that he ended up 15 runs short. But it was
still an invaluable knock for the team.”
Srikkanth also pointed out that Ganguly played his part in the selection of
Tamil Nadu opener M. Vijay for the final Test match.
“Sourav played with him in the India
A match and he specifically told me, ‘Chika, here is a guy whom you have to
look seriously’. So I took his words seriously because when a player of
Ganguly’s wisdom endorses someone he has to special.”

16 million Americans have no wired broadband access, not even at 4Mbps
Even under the old, slower definition of broadband, many still lack access.
Jon Brodkin - Feb 1, 2016 11:23 pm UTC
Internet service providers and Republicans in Congress have been criticizing the Federal Communications Commission for a report that declares broadband service isn't being deployed quickly enough to all Americans.
FCC chairman mocks industry claims that customers don’t need faster Internet
In particular, ISPs and Republicans are mad that the FCC is defining "broadband" as Internet speeds of at least 25Mbps downstream and 3Mbps upstream. Using that benchmark, the FCC found that 34 million Americans, about 10 percent of the country, live in areas where they can't buy home broadband.
ISPs wanted the FCC to stick with its old standard of 4Mbps down and 1Mbps up, which the commission left behind a year ago. But even if the FCC revived that slower definition of broadband, the commission's annual reports would still find that many Americans lack access, mostly in rural areas.
The numbers are available now that the FCC's full broadband progress report has been released.
"At slower speeds, 6 percent of Americans lack access to fixed terrestrial service at 10Mbps/1Mbps and 5 percent lack access to such services at 4Mbps/1Mbps," the FCC report said.
That amounts to 19.9 million Americans who can't buy wired broadband of at least 10Mbps/1Mbps and 16.1 million Americans who can't buy wired broadband of at least 4Mbps/1Mbps. These numbers exclude satellite Internet, which suffers from worse latency than wireline services and low monthly data caps.
Congress requires the FCC to determine whether broadband is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion, and to take action if the answer is negative. It's up to the FCC to decide what speeds should count as broadband.
The FCC's annual reports are always about a year behind, so the latest one is based on data from December 31, 2014. Here's what the 4Mbps/1Mbps and 10Mbps/1Mbps availability numbers look like, both including satellite and excluding satellite availability:
While the 4Mbps/1Mbps definition is no longer used in an official way, the 10Mbps/1Mbps threshold is significant because it's the minimum speed Internet providers must offer when they use government subsidies to build broadband networks in rural areas.
The FCC has found progress in deployment at its new definition of 25Mbps/3Mbps. At those speeds, the percentage of Americans who don't have broadband access dropped from 20 percent in 2012 to 10 percent in 2014.
But the percentage of Americans who can't even buy 4Mbps/1Mbps service hasn't changed as much. The 2012 broadband progress report found that 19 million Americans, or 6 percent of residents, lived in areas without 4Mbps/1Mbps access. As noted earlier, the numbers on that front have dropped to 16.1 million and 5 percent.
The new report also shows adoption rates at the different speed levels. About 58 percent of Americans who have access to 4Mbps/1Mbps speeds (excluding satellite) do buy service that's at least that fast. At the 10Mbps/1Mbps threshold, 54 percent of Americans with access are subscribers.
Adoption of 25Mbps/3Mbps service is growing quickly. In 2012, just 11 percent of Americans who could buy 25Mbps/3Mbps broadband did so. By the end of 2014, 37 percent of Americans in 25Mbps/3Mbps areas were buying speeds at at least that level:
FCC officials revised their broadband definition last year to account for families' simultaneous usage of multiple devices and applications, including high-quality video and graphics. FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel has pushed for the commission to use an even higher definition of 100Mbps, but to no avail.

I work for an ISP that serves rural markets. I speak for myself, not my employer.
Providing internet to rural communities isn't cheap. Not by a long shot. For just one of the communities we serve, its ~$50k/mo for a 200mbit metro-E circuit. This is for a community of 1,200 people. We can sell you an 8mbit connection, but it won't be cheap ($380) .
Another community (71 people) we serve it costs $20k/mo for a 20mbit circuit. We offer an "up to" 1mbit wireless service at $80/mo.
That said, I try and do my part to keep customers costs low. Their had been talk about implementing a modem "rental" fee when we upgraded our infrastructure that would allow us to do remote management of the CPE's. This required us to purchase all new CPEs (customer premise equipment). While the proposed fee would have been modest ($2-3/mo), I voiced amendment opposition to the plan. Telling mgmt we "don't want to be like Comcast."

So, it could be worse.
A map of the US with the areas not covered would be helpful in deciding how bad this problem is. How much is rural? How much is suburbs? How much is literally in the middle of nowhere?
I live in Texas and there are parts of the state that you can drive for hours and never see anything but the occasional gas station.

Waiting for the Republican's response to explain why no household should need this as there are no applications that require it and we should in fact change the definition of "4Mbps" to reflect this.

Once more the fools in Congress want to keep their wallets fat rather have the US lead the world. 6 years ago in Tanzania I used a three-way usb dongle for internet service that was faster than my DSL in the states. By three way, I mean it used three different cell phone techs to work. I believe SKorea, Japan, Finland, Norway and probably a few dozen other countries which combined wouldn't equal the USA domestic product have substantially faster connections for less money than the US. The technology exists but the US vendors are more concerned about Wall Street than their customers. Keep in mind it took a German cell phone company to start breaking the strangleholds Verizon, ATT, and Sprint had on data thruput.

Can't buy at my house. "Too rural."
Ironically, a major microsoft office building is less about 1/2 mile away, maybe 5-10 min walk.
Comcast is required under their county contract to supply service in our area, based on home density, but they've said they're not interested at this time. We've been talking with the local county government for over a year, and they've been no help. They said "we'll ask to see if Comcast is interested." We then asked them to have the county legal dept look into the contact. A year later, still nothing, and they said they forgot to ask legal.
Frontier says we're too far out, and they have no plans for further fiber builds.
What a sweet deal these "contracts" must be. Gotta love those folks who dedicate their lives to "public service."

What that article doesn't tell you is in those communities without running water and sewage systems, the method used isn't an outhouse. Its a "honey" bucket. Think 5 gallon bucket with a seat. And when it gets full, you take it down to the lagoon and dump it. Hepatitis infections and gastrointestinal distress rates are significantly higher in those villages than in areas with proper sanitation infrastructure.
Now one might ask why some of these places don't have a proper infrastructure and it boils down to cost. Putting in a 2 million dollar plus sewage setup for a community of 38 doesn't make financial sense. Not to mention the upkeep costs are really high.

My father lives in such a community. While his ISP technically has fiber inside the town, the runs they made outside of town are just dark. Instead, his ISP provides a WWAN connection that is spotty, capped at 50G/month and is hugely expensive considering the data rates.
These ISP's dip into federal funds through the USF that we all pay into yet the problem hasn't changed. Sometimes I think companies are skimming the fund.

I hate the state of "broadband" in the US. I myself am moving to Miami for work, and find myself looking at neighborhoods largely based on internet... Florida sucks for broadband. Before anyone starts yammering about it being a "Red" state, I am moving from CA and my choices here sucked just as bad.
I find myself staring at the smoking gun of Comcast's xfinity and jack shit else... Trying to find a township or ANYTHING that has fiber is... impossible.
I feel worse for my family who are farmers, they are stuck with only satellite or dial-up. But they also get damn near unlimited game to hunt, avocados and oranges.... I guess there is a bright side?

I work for a telecom. DSL and fiber buildouts are not cheap. Further, when DSL was the new tech the Telcos went deep on installing the tech everywhere they could. This was great until the FCC decided to up the minimum speed to qualify as broadband. Suddenly all of the expensive equipment they installed was declared useless because it could not run at the newly required speeds.
DSL is pretty much dead until it is replaced by fiber. Fiber is future proof but expensive to install.

Yes, but what is your salary? The average salary for EU workers is much MUCH lower than the US. ISPs will only charge what the market will bear. I have friends who are career web developers in Germany for example and they make half of what I make. Many of them are also on DSL, not fiber.

Thanks and really appreciate your post. I shout a lot on the net about rural area Internet, not only in US but around the world. I do know the cost of connection are high. So when i say ISP should get cables around, what i really mean is:
Why there aren't any innovation in fiber or cabling layering work?
In my wildest dream, most home would already have some underground work being done for sewage or electricity. And little mouse like drone will pull the thin cable underground without the digging, all the way to some distribution point or other parts that require real labor work.
We will also have a standard port for Fibre ( Intel MXC? Where are you ? ) , where all Router will implement WAN much like today's RJ45 Ethernet Plug. No more separate CPE / ONT required. ( May be I am the only one who doesn't want another equipment sitting in my living room )

I suspect that the number is higher than 16 million. Frontier DSL changed their service description from up to 3 mbps to up to 6 mbps. So, they should now quality as greater than 4. The problem is that the service is spread so thin that most users are lucky to get 1 mbs. The system sucks. ISP's should be required to report the average speed not the mythical maximum one.

We have been paying a tax on our phone bill called the Universal Service Fund for almost two decades so these ISPs can deploy access to the rural area's. No money out of there pocket paid for by the tax payer's. What's the hold up?

"Adoption of 25Mbps/3Mbps service is growing quickly. In 2012, just 11 percent of Americans who could buy 25Mbps/3Mbps broadband did so. By the end of 2014, 37 percent of Americans in 25Mbps/3Mbps areas were buying speeds at at least that level"
One of the barriers to people adopting faster services is price. Depending on the incumbent the price for faster services often falls on the gouging side of the equation. People just don't like being blatantly overcharged.

For most of the country, I imagine that "rural" and "high income" are inversely correlated. Those circuits are probably so expensive because of labor costs. Trenching wire between widely spaced nodes must require a lot of manpower.
Far-flung communities would probably be better served via microwave links than landline. If landline is strung for service charged at below market rate, it's the city dwellers who will be the ones subsidizing the cost. Why should city mouse pay for country mouse's internet?

I don't understand why the "broadband" goalposts were shifted from 4Mbps to 25Mbps. I'm on a 3/1Mbps plan in an area served with 300Mbps internet. Why? Because that's all I need. Major websites work. VOIP works. Netflix works. Hulu works. Youtube works. All in 720p. Major software updates take longer (a few hours), but they happen only a few times a year.
What does 25Mbps get you? Improved simultaneous access? Faster torrent downloading? An improved "cloud computing" experience? These are useful things, but hardly necessary. Don't get me wrong; faster and cheaper are always better. I just disagree that 4Mbps internet is "poverty spec." and that the meaning of broadband needs to be shifted ever higher.
So how does it feel if you try to do more than one thing? Or try to download a new game, at 50GB? Hope you dont mind not using your internet connection for 357 HOURS, assuming a constant 3 megabit. That's 14 days. of not touching the internet at all, with no slowdowns or outages.
Also, I call BS on the 720p streaming. ESPECIALLY on youtube. I get 4 megabit down in my bedroom on my phone, and 480p video has to buffer every 4-5 seconds. There is no way you are watching anything other than a slideshow at 720p on 3 megabit.
It may work for you, but most of us do more than one thing at a time, have other family members that use the internet as well, play games, or don't like waiting four minutes for big webpages to load.
You may be just fine with 3Mbit, but most people will want something faster. I know people who are just fine making $10 an hour, but most people would want to make more than that. Most people also want more than an outhouse and well, most want their house to be more than 400 square feet, ece.
4Mbps might be enough if you are living alone and your usage is rather minimal. (Which sounds to me like the very definition of bare minimum or "poor spec" access as you said hardly worthy of the term broadband.)
Let's be honest here its not good enough for homes with multiple family members period. Operating costs for the cable and telco operators keep coming down as tech improves but your bill will keep creeping up in what is barely passable service anyway. Let's not forget that if you only have 4Mbps down when everything is working as intended you are pretty much screwed when the service gets even a bit congested as you will quickly slow to a crawl since your speed wasn't fast to begin with, not to mention that your upload is horribly inadequate for most stuff these days.
The torrenting you mention seems to me like a straw-man argument against the new definition. Implying only pirates need faster speeds.

From many responses, it seems ISPs find it costly to build fiber network in rural areas and I completely understand it. But what if the state government decided to build a fiber network across the whole state and provide fiber to the home/street and all ISPs have to do is lease capacity ? Wouldn't that be win-win overall.
State gets a constant revenue stream
The ISP saves on infrastructure/ fiber laying cost
and citizens get internet access

That's a one-time cost though, not a monthly one. Once the community is hooked up, those costs are sunk.

Watching multiple Netflix/Hulu/Youtube videos or downloading huge files ties up the network. That's rarely an issue as most browsing isn't bandwidth intensive and video watching tends to be a communal experience or done via OTA broadcasts. I don't see why Americans should be taxed so rural America can play video games.
I just tried a Youtube 720p video right now. Yep, works. Even tried downloading it and download time < video length. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of people want Ferrari's too, but I don't see why the majority of America should subsidize their desires. Playing video games and watching four Netflix streams simultaneously takes internet usage beyond a utility. America should subsidize internet access so people can get jobs, communicate freely and take part in e-commerce.
I'm all for fast and cheap "European > America" internet speeds. I think ISPs are abusing their monopoly status and should be taken to task or broken up. I also think the FCC is playing politics just as much as Congress by defining "broadband" as 25Mbps.

I wouldn't call that a monthly cost to operating the network though. It's incurred even if the network has no customers.

BassBooks.com Launches E-Book Editions of Essential Sightreading Studies

Bassists can continue to choose the print versions of these books, which include play-along CDs, or decide to purchase the books in pdf format with the recordings as mp3 files.
The e-book editions and accompanying mp3 files are available for digital download at the BassBooks.com website. Each e-book is priced at $15, a 25% discount over the $19.99 retail price of the print versions. Both the print and digital versions of the Essential Sightreading Studies books are available individually or as specially-priced, three-volume sets.
The Essential Sightreading Studies series is written by bass player David Motto and published by Molto Music. These sightreading books are designed to give bass players who already know the basics of music notation guided material to strengthen their reading skills.
“Bass players need to practice at their current skill level for reading. The exercises in these books are carefully crafted to develop specific reading skills, like rhythm counting, pitch recognition, key signatures and time signatures. The music in each volume progresses from easy to difficult as the bassist goes through the book,” says author David Motto.
Dave Tuckman, Owner and Founder of BassBooks.com adds, “Having the Essential Sightreading Studies books available in digital format gives bass players a whole new way of interacting with this material. These reading exercises are now available on the go, on a tablet computer, or on the computer in their practice studio. The convenience of not having to carry around books is a game changer for bass players. Bass method books as e-books with digital recordings are definitely the wave of the future.

Pandora App Icon [2]
ADDRESS/CONTACT
2101 Webster Street, 16th Floor Oakland, CA 94612
Tel: (510) 451-4100 http://www.pandora.com/
Pandora is a free progressive music service provider that strives to provide a top of the line variety of music experience to its listeners. Through Pandora, people can experience a personalized interactive experience with the music of their choice on their devices at anytime and any place. [3]
courtesy of : Human Genome Project – [4]
By way of a devised system, better known as “The Human Genome Project,” Pandora has enabled listeners to plant a seed -selecting an artist, song, or genre of their choice that will then generate music of the same genre for the listener. [3] This is all composed through a music taxonomy system created through Pandora, ultimately creating a positive listener experience. [5]
OPERATING PANDORA
Free to sign up for users, Pandora enables listeners to create up to 100 stations depending on their musical preference. By searching an artist, genre, or song, users can create station that will play only music similar to the item searched. The image below exhibits a user’s profile with their selected stations on the left hand side.
Image of Users Profile [6]
Founded in 2000 by Tim Westergren, Pandora is rooted in Oakland, CA where the company opened their first offices [7]. In less than a decade, Pandora had impressively raked up approximately 30 million registered users and earned $40 million in revenues [8].
Back in 2009, Pandora opened a new world for their users when they introduced the ad-free radio service for 36 dollars/year, Pandora One. However, between 2009 -2013, Pandora experienced an increase in rising licensing costs to SoundExchange, currently still growing. With these new setbacks, Pandora has now increased their monthly subscription from $3.99 to $4.99. Current subscribers are safe for now with their $3.99 monthly payment, but by 2015, the going rate with be the same across the boards with subscribers [8].
Since the beginning, Pandora has strived to allow an easy streamline service to its users through its free subscription, and now ad-free subscription, which in 2013 was reported to have reached 72 million monthly listeners. [9]

As reported in the SQ Press Release of Financial Results, Pandora reached 218.9 Million dollars in total revenue and is projected to reach 895 Million – 915 Million for the 2014 total yearly revenue [13]. The SQ revenue increased by 38% since the prior year’s SQ revenue results. The suggested increase in revenue is said to have resulted from investments in mobile and local advertising, demonstrated in the 39% advertising revenue increase and the 35% yearly revenue increase in subscriptions [14].
Pandora Financial Revenue Growth from ’12-Q1’14 Courtesy of www.tctechcrunch2011.com [15]
Pandora’s yearly revenue over a two year span between 2012 and 2014 indicates approximately a 50 million dollar increase. Initially, when Pandora was first launched, they experienced far less competition. As more and more music streaming companies are introduced into the market, Pandora, although still providing service to a plethora of devoted users, has experienced somewhat of a sluggish increase of revenue despite what was predicted for the company.
Graph of Edison Survey Results Courtesy of www.marketrealist.com [17]
Over the years, Pandora has grown exponentially as a company and dominated in its listener audience numbers compared to its competitors. Among Pandora’s competitors, including iHeart Radio, Spotify,Google Play All Access, Rhapsody,and Slacker, Pandora still exhibited exceeding results in the Edison Research study taken in March 2014 [16]. iHeart Radio, Pandora’s most prominent competitor reported to have 9% of the listener population, while Pandora ranked in at 31% of the listener population. Over 2,000 people were interviewed for the Edison Study with a demographic of individuals raging in ages from 12 +. [18]

PANDORA PLATFORMS
Pandora is now available in car radio systems, cellular devices, iPads, laptops to even Blu-ray players. This multi faceted, multi-platform side of Pandora allows for so many options for users to stream their music. [19] It was reported in 2009 that Pandora’s 43 million users accessed their accounts on 100 different consumer devices other than a computer [20]. This is simply a number that demonstrates just how widely attainable streaming music is across different platforms.

PANDORA’S POPULARITY
For such a wide scope of listeners in terms of age, Pandora has provided a great service, largely due to the interactive qualities of the site. Not only does Pandora possess the users profile information about them, the company also takes note of the user’s music preference and times they are actively listening. Through the “thumbs up, thumbs down” buttons on the users profile, further explained at 13:50 of this video, Pandora receives information on media you both like and disliked. [22]
NOW, & WHAT’S AHEAD
Pandora’s great success has not only sustained its current prosperity, but promises for it’s bright future as well. In the interview conducted at Hivios first ever Radio Ideas Festival in 2013 between Mark Ramsey and Pandora CTO Tom Conrad, the future plans of the company are somewhat touched upon. Not only is Pandora certainly withstanding any threats from competitors today,but the executive board is constantly looking for new ways of improvement. Conrad alludes to Pandora’s hopes and explorations into livening up the interactive aspects of the site. He goes on to explain the possibility of venturing outside the lines of music and comedy and delving into sports entertainment and possibly weather.
Further explained is Pandora’s intentions of understanding their audiences to a higher level. Already Pandora has taken exceptional steps towards fully emerging their users into an interactive world where their music preferences are key, but Tom Conrad foreshadows taking the leaps as Facebook has when it comes to audience fragmentation. This meaning that listeners are divided based on interest. From this, Pandora understands their audience better catering to their needs and wants.
What's Ahead for Pandora? CTO Tom Conrad talks to Mark Ramsey [23]
Look Below for question conducted in the interview:
A recent article titled “Will Pandora Survive 2015,” explains the possible decline of streaming music sites due to the increase in royalty rates. [24] With this possibility, it could be possible for Pandora to steer clear merging with big names in the industry like Apple, and instead conducting business with a small scale radio broadcaster, ultimately conserving revenue. [24]. Although, it is safe to say that with constant new artists, no matter big or small, someone, somewhere desires to be noticed. Music is constantly created, therefore driving the industry.

SPOTIFY OVERVIEW
[6] Spotify’s sleek interface layout for their multi-platform service.
Spotify is a privately-owned, digital music streaming service that provides on-demand access to tracks. It is available on multiple platforms, including computers, mobile, tablets, and home entertainment systems. Originally founded in Sweden in 2006, Spotify launched in the United States in 2011; it is now available in 58 markets. [7]
Spotify offers listeners the free model, “made possible by ads,” and the premium model for $9.99 monthly, which is ad-free, high-quality, and available offline. [8] With over 20 million songs, over 20,000 tracks added daily, and over 1.5 billion playlists, Spotify has accumulated 10 million active users and a total of 40 million active users. [9]
Rdio, Pandora, Rhapsody, Google Play Music, Beats, iTunes Radio, Music Unlimited, and Xbox Music are worthy contenders in this competitive space. Product reviews assess service quality with major factors include song catalog, user interface, support, and features. [10] Each racing for a market share, these top players in the market are making strategic ploys to stay afloat.
On November 12th, Youtube announced their own streaming service, Youtube Music Key for $9.99. It will be interesting to see how it will affect the music industry when it fully hits the market in 2015. [11]
[12] Spotify and The Echo Nest collaboration
In early March 2014, Spotify acquired The Echo Nest, a big data company to enhance the music discovery feature, forcing Rdio, Rhapsody, iHeartRadio, and Vevo to look elsewhere for a discovery algorithm. [13]
THE SPOTIFY STRATEGY
Spotify has successfully targeted college students, establishing a solid audience base and brand loyalty. With personal information confirming their status, Spotify offers students Spotify Premium for only $4.99. [13]
[13] Spotify engages their target audience: college students and 18-24 year-olds.
COLLEGE CASE STUDY
Spotify’s tenacious grasp on college students’ listening is reflected in their recently released research report of the Top 40 Musical Schools in America. The findings are a close study of the musical norms in the schools.
[14] Detailed graphs document music-genre distribution and listening spikes, showing not only what students listen to but also how they listen.
The data that Spotify is able to collect can be utilized for targeted advertising and marketing campaigns today. Moreover, with such a large following of the developing youth, Spotify is not only able to make significant advancements with the invaluable information about today, but accurate inferences about these soon-to-be adults tomorrow. [13]
#THATSONGWHEN
Spotify launched their #thatsongwhen campaign with advertising agencies Ogilvy & Mather and David to further engage their millennial base. #Thatsongwhen allows users to tie their emotional experiences to their favorite songs, to create, and to tell stories. The customization, personalization, and interactivity of a musical experience attracts and retains a young crowd. [15]
The stories are media clips that are charged with emotion, and of course, music. Don’t Go Chasing Girls is about a man’s early memory of his childhood crush that is easily triggered with TLC’s hit song, Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls. Stories and songs are updated and posted on a live feed.
AD TAKEOVER
Spotify is introducing two new advertising options for eager advertisers:
1. The dubbed Video Takeover, only available on desktops, allows brands to takeover the screen during 15-30 second advertising breaks.
2.The dubbed Sponsor Sessions forces mobile users to view a 15-30 second video on their mobile devices in order to proceed onto 30 minutes of uninterrupted streaming. [16]
McDonald’s, Universal Pictures, and Ford are just some of the major sponsors that have opted into this advertising innovation. [17]
[18] McDonald’s format and utilization of Spotify’s advertising product – Video Takeover.
SPOTIFY PARTNERSHIPS
Everything is going mobile, and music is no exception. This rapid trend of playing and streaming music from a smartphone is particularly prevalent in Australia. Due to these recent findings, Vodafone Australia has partnered with Spotify to bundle in Spotify Premium for free with their monthly plan. A Spotify Premium subscription generally costs $11.99 Australian dollars each month. The exclusive offers with Spotify vary, and are known as the Red Plans. [19]
[20] Research shows that 1.5 million Australians stream music from their mobile devices.
Vodafone believes that Spotify Premium’s features complement and maximize the use of their faster network speeds, value plans, and expanding 4G network. Both the companies and the listeners are benefitting from this collaboration as the marriage of these digital services follow consumer trends and meets consumer needs. [21]
Apple Carplay is an a new feature configured in select 2014 vehicles. Spotify is on board for this innovative ride as it has updated and fixed some bugs for this new multimedia system. [22] The music player allows users to access their Spotify accounts using a compatible iPhone. [23] With a built-in display to play music, Carplay is an exclusive and luxurious market; the Ferrari FF is one of the few select cars with Carplay. Several automobile manufacturers, however, are making an effort to include and support this system in the future. [24]
[24] Spotify collaborates with Apple Carplay to incorporate music services in the latest car models.
Uber is a hip taxi service, and Spotify is a hip streaming service. These two successful startups partner up for a new listening experience. Passengers can link their custom playlists to Uber vehicles for a fun ride. Although this new feature has started off in ten cities, it makes a big splash in the car service industry and the music industry. This partnership allows both companies to co-promote their respective brands and to change with the times. The service is for Spotify Premium account holders. [25]
[26] Spotify and Uber modernize the standard cab-ride as they join forces to create a new listening experience.
SPOTIFY CONTROVERSY
Taylor Swift pulled her entire catalogue from Spotify’s music database as she believes that it does not fairly compensate artists. [27] As a popular musician, her bold move and her public statements rejecting the streaming business model has made headlines for weeks. Fans and critics are responding to her decision with distaste as both parties point out that there are other viable services, such as Youtube and SoundCloud, to play her music. [28] While she recently accepted the first-ever Dick Clark Award for Excellence at the 2014 American Music Awards Ceremony, she added another snide comment jabbing at Spotify and streaming services again. [29] Jason Aldean has followed Swift’s footsteps, and pulled his new album Old Boots, New Dirt from Spotify. [30]
Spotify executive, Ek, combats this frenzy and reports that artists that use Spotify to promote their music actually sell more, and that Spotify has returned over $2 billion to music industry today. Top artists like Swift are set to project over $6 million in revenue a year. [31] Despite the financial debate and moral controversy, the Spotify team still hopes for Swift to change her mind. [32]
[33] Taylor Swift is a firm believer in the value of music, and that it should not be free. Swift has pulled her music catalogue from Spotify.
It is unlikely that many artists will join Swift’s banning of the digital streaming business, as it is the digital age. Reports confirm that streaming services grew 28% in the first half of 2014. [26] Listeners’ habits changed; artists can sink, but digital streaming services will swim.
SPOTIFY: LOOKING AHEAD
Despite the recent controversies, Spotify has achieved success with their recent collaborations; the student discount and the partnership with Vodafone have led Spotify subscriptions to increase by 42%. [28] Spotify Family Plan has launched with popular demand and proven financial success with previous discount deals. The plan allows subscribers to add four family members to their account for half the price. [34]
Spotify’s name is globally recognized, and Spotify’s services are well integrated into the new digital age. Its key strategies and partnerships keep it on the bleeding edge of the music industry.

[1] Brand name and Logo
Spotify is one of the top streaming services on the market and is all about finding the right song for the right moment. There are over 30 million songs to choose to stream from, with over 50 million active users in 58 markets across the globe [2]. While Spotify is relatively new in American, launching in 2011, it was founded in 2008 in Sweden.
The Spotify interface users see [3].
Users can create profiles, and on there create playlists, they can follow other users playlists, and share songs on social media by connecting through Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter. In addition to following their friend’s accounts they can also follow celebrity accounts and see what their followers are listening to on a side bar. The service also serves as a great music discovery tool, with Spotify’s own curated playlists, and radio feature similar to that of Pandora. With free and paid accounts there is a little bit of something for everyone with platforms on a user’s computer, mobile, tablet, and most recently home entertainment systems.
Subscriptions are broken up into two types, free and “premium” accounts in which users pay $9.99 a month to experience add free listening as well as more access to mobile listening and off line listening with data. The ratio to active paying subscribers to free listeners is over 20% [4].

With the legacy of CDs and era of illegal downloading slowly dying out in the music business, people are looking more and more to streaming as a way to consume music. Because of this and the gap in the market for streaming services, in the last two years there has been a large emergence of streaming services that serve as competitors to Spotify. Last year Beats headphones launched Beats Music, and Amazon Prime Music launched recently as well, amongst already existent competitors like Rhapsody and Google Play.
DEEZER COMES TO UNITED STATES:
Deezer logo [6].
On September 14, 2014 Deezer came to America, which could potentially prove it self to be Spotify’s biggest competitor. Deezer is one of the world’s biggest names in streaming with its services available in 180 countries [5]. Due to licensing rights, they were not able to expand into the U.S. for quite some time, but now have the market of paying subscribers to go from 5 million users to rival Spotify’s 10 million international users [5]. However Spotify is at a slight advantage, because while Deezer is usually formatted with a similar interface to Spotify, Deezer in America is launching on a new platform. Deezer is only launching for US users through pricy Sonos sound systems and only those with speakers and the app can subscribe to the Deezer Elite service, with a steep price tag of $19.99 a month which is double that rate to Spotify’s for premium [7].
TAYLOR SWIFT AND THE STREAMING STRUGGLE:
Taylor Swift pulls catalog from Spotify [8].
In addition to Deezer coming to America this fall, Spotify also recently suffered another large loss. Pop- country princess, Taylor Swift, just pulled her entire catalog from the streaming service. With such a large artist, obviously Swift has caused a large impact on what consumers are streaming, especially with the recent release of an album. This is all apart of a larger argument right now not only with Spotify, but all streaming services that artists are being paid too little for the amount of plays they are receiving [9]. However, Taylor’s case is different. Management released a statement that she believes art and music are important and should be fully purchased and that albums and means of listening to that music should not be free [8]. Because of this all of her music was pulled from streaming services with free accounts, but not those services where you are required to pay in order to have a profile. There is large debate as to whether or not her music will return, but for the time being fans are expected to buy albums, and how the relationship between Taylor Swift and Spotify will develop is one to track.
SPOTIFY GROWTH:
While this fall has given Spotify some tough situations, this has not stopped them from expanding.
SPOTIFY FAMILY
Spotify Family, is the newest development in the programs interface. Similar to Netflix family accounts, Spotify Family now allows large families to have one billing account but different profiles for different family members, so Dad’s Rolling Stones playlists don’t get mixed in with Daughter’s Disney Princess playlist [10]. There are separate profiles and therefore different recommendations and profiles can be listened to at the same time, unlike before when one account could only be streamed in one place at a time [10]. In addition there is also a premium upgrade discount for families wanting to upgrade to this added service [10].
SPOTIFY + UBER
Spotify collaborates with popular car service, Uber [11].
Spotify is know for its unique brand collaborations, which continue as they offer music lovers cool experiences. This November on the 21st they collaborated with Uber to give Spotify and Uber the ride of a lifetime [11]. When users had both apps on the 21st, they could not only request a special car and get a vehicle with the new Spotify- enabled Uber cars, but they also had the chance to either get in a car that took them to a secret show in an undisclosed location, or get the chance to be picked up and driven around by some of their favorite artists [11]. This venture really shows the creative side of Spotify and how they connect with their users beyond a screen.

SPOTIFY + CARPLAY
Besides the Spotify- enabled Uber cars, Spotify is now reaching our vehicles this fall with CarPlay support in the latest iOS update [12]. The ioS app adds Apple CarPlay integration with that allows users to access the app through dash receivers and makes it easier for people to use the service in their vehicles [12]. Audi, Ferrari, Ford, and Hundai all plan on making the application available in their upcoming models for the next year [12].
With all of these great strides Spotify is taking to make them selves more user friendly and connect with their users, they will continue to be one of the top streaming services into 2015.
We can look to see Spotify as a brand present at future music festivals next spring as the festival season is fast approaching, as well as other unique music experiences brought to users with live music interaction, beyond the screen.

THE SPOTIFY STORY:
[2] The most updated visuals of the Spotify application on thee platforms. Users have an on-demand stream of music on their computer, mobile device, tablet, and home entertainment system.
Spotify is a music streaming service that puts users in control of 20 million licensed songs [3]. Spotify was launched in Sweden in 2008 and came to America in 2011.
Spotify is financially a private company that offers over 20,000 new songs each day from major and independent labels including EMI, Warner Music Group, Universal, & The Orchard [3]. Artists earn royalty when their music is played, and there are over 24 million active users currently in 55 markets [3].
There are two revenue streams, free, which is “powered by advertisers” and premium for $9.99 monthly with extra features including no ads, offline, and high-quality audio [3].
TEAM SPOTIFY:
[4] Spotify Founders- Daniel Ek & Martin Lorentzon
[5] Chief Sales, Marketing, and International Growth Officer- Jeff Levick
[6] Chief Content Officer & Managing Director USA- Ken Parks
[7] Head of Content- Steve Savoca
INSIDE SPOTIFY:
Social Media Merges with Music- Using the “send to”, or “post to feed” options users can message music to friends and post music to their Facebook timeline, Twitter, and Tumblr within the Spotify application. Source: Spotify
Spotify gives its users the option to connect with their social media Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts. Users can create collaborative playlists, share music, view friends music and more which provides for ample music discovery and publicity for the company on social media platforms. There is also a private session users can activate.
Two other elements that Spotify includes are apps and Discover. While these apps add dimension to the Spotify journey, Discover is essentially a constantly updated news feed.
Discover- Spotify’s “news feed” feature on the desktop application. Updates with releases, playlists, artists recommendations, concerts nearby are posted, friends listening habits are shown all based on listening habits the user has shown. Source: Spotify
Spotify is a strong contender, but it’s competing neck and neck with Rdio, Pandora, Rhapsody, Google Play Music, and Beats on price, catalogue, platforms, and features [8]. Beats Music entered the competitive on-demand music market in January [9], and is Spotify’s biggest challenger.
[10] Beats Music vs. Spotify- The two streaming services are extremely similar with the same catalogue size, the discovery element, and price.
Beats entry in the market put Spotify in “go-mode”.
SPOTIFY’S SITUATION:
Competitor streaming services are continually emerging. With more choices presented to consumers, Spotify has responded by shifting their focus to partnerships, acquisitions, customer satisfaction, and updated product development. The formula is to attract users to Spotify, engage with users, and retain them.
Last.fm is a music recommendation service. In January, Spotify and Last.fm teamed up to bring a beneficial on-demand playbar to Last.fm’s website. This makes it possible for Last.fm users to internally play the entire Spotify catalogue on Last.fm’s website [11].
The collaboration works in both companies favor. Last.fm users have a fuller experience with the power, “to play whatever you want by whoever you want directly on Last.fm” [12]. In addition, Spotify’s catalogue incorporation provides a huge presence and Last.fm users conveniently have motivation to signup for Spotify to take advantage of the essential music player.

SoundHound
Spotify also joined forces with SoundHound for the “Add to spotify” feature on its iOS application in February. SoundHound is a popular music-recognition app, similar to Shazam. Banded together, SoundHound is now more interactive. After linking accounts, with the tap of a button users can automatically generate Spotify playlists of recognized songs without leaving SoundHound’s app [13].

The mutually-beneficial relationship brings life to identified songs through Spotify playlists on SoundHoud, and the incentive to use the button will drive users to subscribe to Spotify while giving them presence on a music app [14].
On top of that, Spotify was presented with an amazing opportunity to have presence on site at Coachella as the Official Digital Music Partner of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California in April. The Spotify Social tent was an on-site air-conditioned tent that offered relaxation pods, chargers, a “Mosaic Photo Booth” that uses your Spotify account to generate a picture out of your most played album art, and art from artist Apex [15].
[16] The Spotify Social tent, that capped at 150, gave people an air conditioning experience filled with music, more battery power, art, and a Mosaic Photobooth that puts your face on album covers based on your Spotify listening habits.
#WeWereThere was Spotify’s digital interactive strategy at Coachella to “connect, collect, share.” Implanted in every RFID wristband was the power to capture the experience by checking in and collecting custom Spotify curated playlists. The “My Coachella Story” digital snapshot let individuals create memories of their festival concert experiences with playlists gathered [16]. This collaboration not only transformed Coachella goers into premium users, but also created a special experience and built relationships by reliving the festival on Spotify.
[15] “My Coachella Story”- an example of a digital snapshot that shoes distance traveled, the path taken, playlists, artists seen etc. To participate users needed to simply connect their wrist band with their Spotify accounts, look for check ins at the festival, use the wristband to collect playlists and then after generate their digital card and share it with family and friends.
Lastly, Beats launched with an AT&T package family plan deal. Rumors are circulating about Spotify planning to bundle with the #3 U.S. mobile carrier, Sprint [17] in April. This partnership will give Sprint customers a free trial. Customers will be able to pay for Spotify directly through their Sprint Accounts, which will help Spotify secure a greater market share and Sprint secure more data plans. Sprint and Spotify will announce the details on April 29th at a New York Event [18].
In efforts to boost the “discovery” element, Spotify acquired The Echo Nest in March [19]. The Echo Nest is a music intelligence company that examines listening behavior and makes musical recommendations. Spotify paid $100 Million, with 90% Spotify equity [20]. The Echo Nest previously powered Rdio and Rhapsody, both of which ended their deals, deeming its technology invaluable to their operations right after Spotify acquired [21]. This potentially puts Spotify in the position to take The Echo Nest away from competitors.
Combing the two companies gives The Echo Nest a bigger audience and catalog, while Spotify, now with music-discovery data, will improve recommendation’s.
With intentions to obtain more paying users Spotify has updated its business model. In January the company announced free music shuffling on iOS with a catch, non-premium users ads play in between every few tracks [22]. In February, Spotify added the “repeat one” feature [23]. Repeat one grants users the option to repeat a single track over and over [24]. These highly requested changes illustrate that Spotify cares about users.
Working with a college students budget, Spotify slashed the premium $9.99 monthly rate to $4.99 in March [25]. They partnered with SheerID to validate eligibility. This price change is valuable because college students represent an important key demographic in streaming use [26]. This differentiates Spotify from other streaming services like Rdio and Beats that charge $10 monthly.
Unique Product Development
Competition among streaming services leads Spotify to completely redesign its user interface layout on all platforms. Spotify rolled out a sleek modernized look on April 2nd. This major design update was the first since its launch in 2008, and to keep current it was a smart move [27].
Spotify’s New Look Video [28]
The new dramatic, dark color scheme highlights important buttons, includes circular images for people, and features square album shapes [29]. The browse tab is revised and categorized between top lists, releases, news, and moods. “Your Music”, a collection of users saved albums, songs, and artists is a new addition [30]. The Your Music addition mimics iTunes library and it is comparable to Rdio’s “collection” feature. It helps users save, organize, and browse through their favorite music. The new layout feels unified and balanced, and should attract new users [31].
WHATS NEXT FOR SPOTIFY:
Spotify is headed in the right direction, but with downloads declining, new rival services like YouTube, Apple, and Amazon that have huge user bases are joining the streaming market [32].
Being active puts Spotify in the forefront, which looks great for Investors. It is rumored that an IPO is in Spotify’s near future. Though the company has declined all comments, a job advertisement for an “External Reporting Specialist” has been posted on their website and LinkedIn [33]. Their future looks competitive but successful.

Falalala...eh, you get the idea. Admittedly it's pretty much the exact same image as last year's blog-card-thing, but sort of interesting to see how it developed from the original concept illustration. 'Interesting' being, as ever, a pretty subjective word.
Glad tidings. And all that. Innit?
Labels: the naughty list, xmas
Festive Frolics
Some news that comes as something of a comfort given my concerns that "The Naughty List" might die on its arse once the holiday season is over - it will get its first (so far) screening of 2011 at Canada's Victoria Film Festival on February 6th. If memory serves, this is the first time any film of mine has been shown in the massive, sprawling land-mass that is Canada (outside of me forcing every friend and relative through it). As a Canadian myself I'd been hoping I'd get something shown there eventually, so grand news all around, eh? After my monthly self-googling I've also learned that the film received its tenth screening at Serbia's Film Front festival in Novi Sad last Saturday (18th). Even though I'm late to the party it's good news as I was keeping my fingers crossed that I'd get ten in by the end of the year. They also apparently screened "Ground Running" (the 'lost' Ben Mitchell film) on the 16th. Sweet, a twofer - they're good eggs, them Serbians.

The Miracle of Xmas
Defying all odds, including the Great G5 Crash of 2010, I've finally finished and released "The Book of Women", sticking with the planned date of the 13th just in time to probably be too late for Xmas. But fuggit, it's done!
I probably won't start promoting it properly before the new year as I have a buttload of work/seasonal crap to get done, plus some bizarre and seemingly unresolvable issues to do with my usual distribution company's print process means there are presently two versions to buy. One is via Lulu, who do my books (very well) though I've never used them for publishing indie music so I'm not sure how they'll measure up. Off the bat they have a strangely truncated runtime for CDs of 70mins which means a hidden (not so much now that I've told you) track had to get lopped off. They also only seem to print one-sided sleeves so some booklet and tray artwork had to go too.
While the Cafepress version has the additional artwork and the extra track, problems with the site have rendered the tray cards useless so people - myself included - will have to print off their own. A pain in the balls and one that I'm a little floored by given it's such a small issue that they have absolutely no desire to amend (I'll post the customer service exchange at some point).
So both versions have their advantages and disadvantages:
Lulu - cheaper but you get slightly less content - £6.99
Cafepress - inexplicable tray screwup but overall you get more of the good stuff - £11
So I'm considering these prototypes, until January when I'll look into a better option for selling print-on-demand CDs, ideally with more leeway for visuals and possibly even a lyrics booklet.
The artwork itself was the absolute last element of the project, completed the weekend before the release date. While I had some vague ideas of how to interpret the title of the album, with time running out I figured I'd just go the literal route and have the main recurring image be a book...of, y'know, women.. Beginning with a somewhat modified and stylised female/Venus symbol, I imposed the image over photographs of a wonderfully oversized and delapidated tome of illustrations. Using the heavy texture of the book cover as a guide this visual was easily replicated for the same book seen at different angles, open, closed, being held etc. Some shots have distincly female arms/legs emerging, these just taken from stock libraries as I didn't have the time or pull to either hire a model or convince any of my friends to hike up their skirts. To complement the simplistic retro/surreal style I wanted the backdrops to have more of a colourful, illustration-type feel. I sketched out some semi-abstract background designs and, in a similar vein to the backgrounds for "The Naughty List", used heavily layered textures to brighten them up. The sketches and typography were hand-drawn while I was waiting for my computer to recuperate the week before. While the lengthier credits are typed, the track listing and album title have a bit more personality, sort of cartooney but in a way that hopefully works with the rest of the visuals. In keeping with my atrocious habit of inserting myself into more or less every visual project I do, the obligatory shot or several of me makes its way into the artwork, in an equally rushed sense. While I usually go with photomanipulation (last album I was a hassidic-rabbit-thing, the one before I was a man-foetus) this time I'm just a creep in an overcoat. Sort of an Ozzy/Lemmy/Brad-Dourif-in-'Deadwood'/Bad-guy-from-Ghostbusters-2 hybrid. I think the moustache sells it (Movember being long over and, well, I appear to have kept it. Interesting...). This was entirely a case of grabbing a coat too big for me, grabbing glasses too small for me, holding up the book and shoving a camera in my unsuspecting Ma's hand and instructing her to snap away while I struck a series of awkward poses. It was weird and unsettling for both of us. But I like the result, especially against the backgrounds: One thing I've found as I get older is a decreasing fondness for oversaturation when using colour. It certainly has its place when considering your audience, but in this instance after some contemplation I decided to tone down the intensity and give the album more of a faded quality.
While it was a product of mad, deadline-looming panic, sometimes that's just the thing that pushes a designer to come up with something different yet effective and time-feasible. I really feel that this goes well with the music on the CD, it's colourful and cartooney but not in an over-the-top way, it's bizarre but not in the sense of being too dark or inaccesible. Hopefully it's something that appeals for what it is and can appropriately represent what I'm doing musically, which in all honesty I think is more marketable than any other album I've made. Maybe the fact that it's been marinating for over four years while I've had my animation work as a focus is the reason why. But I don't know really, it's very possible that its appeal is hugely limited and I'm just looking at it with the type of fawning adoration that only the parent of a hideous, malformed child can. Whichever way, I'm glad that after ten years of the increasing demands and expectations of real life I'm still able to do these from time to time.
Here's the full tracklisting, click on each title for clips. Ah, g'wan:
1. Absent Friend
2. Sibling Ribaldry
3. Drunk Lady
4. Hello Kitty
5. Miles Away
6. Anticancer
7. Spy Vs. Spy
8. Smartass
9. Cut & Run
10. Get Off Me
11. The Other Man
12. Set You Free
13. Start Again
On a closing note I'd like to give credit to all the musicians who helped flesh the album out and make it all the more listenable: Celia Claudie, Alison Eire, Analisa Hamilton, John Harris, Hans Hess, Todd Lynes, Melissa o'Dell, Jennifer Rayne, Verity Ross-Smith and Helen Shaw. I also want to thank Veronika Broscheid, David Hutchinson, Erica Mitchell and Chris Richardson who, along with a number of the musicians mentioned above, helped out rather crucially with the final stages of mastering by giving me feedback on my progress in the lead-up to the release. I probably would've finished the album sometime around 2013 had it not been for the final push, so it's hugely appreciated.
Look at me, all full o' seasonal cheer.

Eat, pray, love : one woman's search for everything across Italy, India, and Indonesia
Gilbert, Elizabeth, 1969-
New York : Penguin, 2007.
Like many others, around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned 30, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. Although she had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want, including a husband, a home, and a successful career as a magazine writer, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. This is an account of her yearlong worldwide pursuit of pleasure, spiritual devotion, guidance, and what she really wanted out of life.

Before cancer invaded our lives, we didn’t know how pervasive childhood cancer is.
Now we know. And we feel obligated to share what we have learned…
Childhood cancer is the #1 disease killer of children and teenagers, more than any other disease.
Every school day 46 children will be diagnosed with cancer.
Each week, 49 children die from cancer and nearly 40,000 children are in treatment.
Survival rates, while improving, have leveled at around 75%.
73% of surviving children have chronic, long-term health issues ranging from infertility to developmental problems to major organ damage to higher risk for secondary cancers, while 42% have life-threatening side affects.
Yet Childhood Cancer Research is Underfunded
It seems inconceivable that so little funding and research is designated to fight childhood cancer. The truth is that childhood cancer drugs just aren’t very profitable for pharmaceutical companies, and adult cancers (like prostate and breast cancer) get more attention. These statistics about childhood cancer research may surprise you.
Less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute’s annual cancer research budget is allocated to childhood cancer research.
There are 16 major types of childhood cancers and over 100 sub-types.
In the past 35 years, only 3 new FDA approved drugs were specifically developed to treat children with cancer.
SEPTEMBER is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Did you see gold ribbons on cereal boxes and gold lights on the White House? We didn’t either.
This is Why We Continue to Fight
We’ve visited too many kids in hospitals and attended too many kids’ funerals.
We’ve seen the devastating effects of toxic chemotherapy treatments, and felt the anguish upon hearing that a B+ Hero’s cancer has returned.
We are committed to funding groundbreaking cancer research with the guidance of a world-class Scientific Advisory Board. Read more about the organizations that we’re collaborating with and the progress that is being made.
We are committed to keeping our expenses low so that we can fund more research and help more families who are financially strained. We work hard to put $.97 of every dollar donated toward these programs, which is why non-profit watchdog GuideStar assesses us as a Gold Participant.
We are committed to helping families across the country and proud to be one of the leading providers of assistance to families of kids with cancer, having helped families from over 200 hospitals nationwide with $2,000,000 last year.
We are committed to giving kids a voice in Washington, D.C. As a founding member of the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer (CAC2) and a member of the renowned Alliance for Childhood Cancer, we personally advocate for increased government funding.

Dear Girl, by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Paris Rosenthal, illustrated by Holly Hatum, HarperCollins Publishing, 2017, 9780062422507, 40 pages
Guest review by Murphy’s Mom
This is an amazing picture book written to empower and celebrate young girls. Even though the Rosenthals wrote this particular story for young kids, it is a great message for everyone. Young children, teenagers, and even women who consider themselves grown can learn how to love themselves. You’ll learn how every feeling, emotion, or way of expressing yourself is valid and reasonable.
I fell in love with this book because of its message encouraging young women to be happy with who they are, not just content. The artwork by Holly Hatum is gorgeous, too — there are so many bright colors, and she mixes photorealistic images in with her drawings. This is a definite confidence booster that teaches all ages it is more than okay to be the “wonderful, smart, and beautiful you!” I hope you will take the time to check it out!

What Would Dolly Do? By Lauren Marino, Grand Central Publishing, 2018. 9781538713006. 234 pp.
Dolly Parton is probably the one person in this world who, if I ever get to meet her, would render me speechless. When Gene let me know that a new biography about my favorite celebrity was coming out, I had to read it. This is an inspiring book that will make you believe in yourself and help you reach your potential.
Dolly Rebecca Parton was the fourth of twelve children born in a tiny shack in 1946 in Locust Ridge, a dirt-poor town outside of Sevierville, Tennessee. She had to support her giant family when she was just a teenager, but had no regrets about doing so. She realized a lot of people might think she was just a country bumpkin or even a stereotypically dumb blonde who could easily be taken advantage of. Little did they know that Dolly’s father, Lee, taught her at a young age that she shouldn’t trust anyone with her money. But she’s always been generous with friends and family and, in fact, Carl Dean, her husband of 52 years, once told her he “could take all the money she spent on family and be richer than Donald Trump.”
Marino’s biography is full of anecdotes and what she calls “Dollyisms,” bits of Parton’s down-home wisdom and advice. One I have always loved is from when she played Truvy in the movie Steel Magnolias and said to her beauty salon customers, “It takes a lot of work to look this cheap.” I think when I am feeling especially overwhelmed with work, family, my other obligations and everything else, I remember my favorite: “Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to have a life.”
Being from Tennessee myself, I have always felt a connection to this self-proclaimed “trashy girl.” She made a career out of looking cheap and artificial, but her heart is as real and genuine as they come. My admiration grew into professional respect when I began volunteering for Parton’s Imagination Library, a now nationwide, non-profit organization that gives free books to kids. I am proud to say my hometown of Shelby County has the largest enrollment in the country.

Sole Survivors
Final Girls by Riley Sager. Random House, 2017. 9781101985380. 339 pages.
Quincy Carpenter trusts almost no one, and why should she? Ten years ago, she was the lone survivor of a brutal massacre during a weekend camping trip with five college friends. (A patient from the nearby insane asylum had escaped and all hell broke loose.) Quinn was saved by Sheriff Detective Franklin Cooper (Coop) and she has since felt extremely indebted to him. Quinn’s faith in Coop does put stress on her relationship with her almost-fiancé, Jeff, because he is the only other person Quincy can totally trust.
There are two other so-called “final girls” who also survived nightmarish massacres, Samantha and Lisa. Because a tabloid television show wanted the three to talk about their experiences, they shared email addresses. Through the years, Lisa and Quincy have grown closer through email. So when Lisa sends a frantic email to Quincy hours before her alleged suicide, Quincy is freaked out
Shortly after Lisa’s death, Samantha shows up on Quinn’s doorstep, and that’s when things get really weird. Quinn and Jeff both have their suspicions about Sam and her motives because she has kept off the grid. Is Sam really there to be friends with Quinn because of their horrific pasts? Or does she have other motives?
This is a terrifying story that moves between the present and the bloody weekend massacre ten years ago. This is one of those stories where you won’t know who to trust, where you will question everyone’s motives until the very last page.

Look It Up, Fuzzball
You Could Look It Up: The Reference Shelf from Ancient Babylon to Wikipedia by Jack Lynch. Bloombury Press, 2016. 9780802777522. 464pp.
In twenty-five chapters Jack Lynch, a Professor of English at Rutgers University, describes fifty seminal reference works throughout the ages. For example, chapter six describes the centuries-long impact of Avicenna’s (ibn Sina’s) million-word, encyclopedic and authoritative The Canon of Medicine then contrasts it with the Anglo-Saxon Bald’s Leechcraft which, in a more practical 32,000 words, gave Roman prescriptions (and included substitutes readily available to Britons).
Lynch knows that reference works are not static, despite presenting some that are literally carved in stone or baked into clay. As of publication Grey’s Anatomy was in its 40th edition, and Lynch says no text nor drawings from the original remain in the current version. That stalwart desk reference for physical science, The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, is in its 95th edition and going strong, although its author, the Chemical Rubber Corporation, hasn’t sold any rubber or chemicals in decades. (Lynch always tries to encapsulate the publication history of each of the reference works he highlights, right down to the page count and the weight!)
Lynch buffers these chapters with shorter sections in which he discusses trends in the genre, like the transition from scrolls to books. Most amusing is “Ghosts and Montweazels” in which Lynch discusses accidental and deliberate errors. Publishers and compilers commonly err as to the scope and scale of their projects; century-long efforts are not unknown. Some works even have revisions before they’re completed.
Great dictionaries and encyclopedias that defined languages and even nations are covered, but Lynch gives science and technology its due. Chapter 10 discusses those aides to computation and description, Henry Briggs’ Arithmetica Logarithmica and Johannes Kepler’s Tabalae Rudolphinae. “We are left with the strange paradox that mathematical tables were rendered entirely obsolete by the computer, although tables were the main reason computers were invented,” Lynch writes.
There are also reference books that are just plain fun. Lynch briefs us on a select group of games rule books and sports record books. He also writes about a sex manual which was in print for centuries, and a 1761 directory of London sex workers! If you’re wondering how to keep all these references organized, Lynch describes the efforts of the great catalogers to bring order and utility to the world’s libraries. (Yes, library catalogs are reference works.) He also reveals how his own home bookshelf is arranged.
Lynch confesses the printed reference work may be in need of a eulogy. Everything is moving online. If it’s a eulogy he’s written, it’s a great one.

Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier, Scholastic, 2016. 9780545540612.
Guest review by Robert in San Diego.
The Allende-Delmer family is moving away from sunny southern California (and their favorite regional fast food chain) to Bahia de la Luna, a fog-shrouded coastal northern California town. Older sister Cat knows she’s leaving her friends (including boyfriend Ari) not just because her Dad’s got a new job there, but because the moist salt air will help her younger sister Maya, who has cystic fibrosis.
No single world adequately describes Bahia de la Luna. Nearby neighbor boy Carlos is self employed as a ghost tour guide. The whole town takes their ghosts seriously, especially when the dead come back in their proper shapes (not their usual drifting formless shades) for the annual Dia de los Muertos party!
Cat’s nonplussed when her first new friend at her new school confesses the really cute boy she dances with has been dead for about a century. Cat doesn’t want to meet the disembodied locals. Maya, on the other hand, wants to meet ghosts. No matter how positive her outlook is (and she is very positive), she has a pressing need to know what happens when people die. The ghosts try to take some breath from Maya, not knowing she needs all she’s got. This leads to a hospital trip. The ghosts regret their error, but that mistake reinforces Cat’s defensive tendency towards her sister.
That’s not the only regret. Cat and Maya’s Mom regrets the estrangement between herself as a teen and her own mother. “I never even learned to speak fluent Spanish.” Even one of the ghosts, who Cat briefly thinks might be her grandmother, sadly confesses “No hay familia.” (“I don’t have a family.”)
Estrangement and its resolutions are the theme of Ghosts. The devoted sisters have a falling out when the almost entirely housebound Maya learns Cat hasn’t even mentioned her to Cat’s new friends. Cat and Carlos, on the outs after Maya’s hospital trip, make up thanks to traditional Mexican pastries. And Maya does finally get to question a ghost.
How to tell if your cat is trying to kill you but your pit bull isn’t.
The American Pit Bull Terrier (An Owner’s Guide to a Happy, Healthy Pet) by Jacqueline O’Neil. Howell Book House, 1995. 9780876053836
I am the proud owner of a shelter rescue dog named Murphy. Because Murphy is a Heinz 57 variety mutt with predominant pit bull, beagle, and basset hound features, he is very striking. As my seven-year-old niece, Hadley, says in her raspy Bette Davis-like lisp, “I wuv Moophy; he looks like a tiguh and I want to kith him.”
My husband is actually the one who found Murphy on our local shelter’s website. Murphy was listed as a “basset mix.” But when we were introduced to the dog, we realized the he definitely had some pit bull in his genetics. We had been told (wrongly) that pit bulls were angry, fighting dogs that would attack, maim, and even kill. But we realized early on that the only way Murphy would victimize someone would be to cuddle with them too much. Since adopting him we have proudly called ourselves Murphy’s Mom and Dad (hence, my pseudonym). My husband and I have become more educated and aware about pit bulls, and I even support local rescue groups whose objective is to find homes for pits. I decided to review this book by Jacqueline O’Neil because, honestly, I judged the book by the smiling, beautiful dog on its cover. When I realized this was an owner’s guide to raising a healthy dog, I was instantly smitten. It’s a great resource teaching the proper ways to take care of pit bulls and what makes the breed unique, plus info on the origins of the breed. And I found out pit bulls are mated with other breeds more than any kind of dog, which explains Murphy’s origins. (There are other books in the series about other breeds.)
How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You by The Oatmeal. Andrews McMeel, 2012. 9781449410247
I am one of those who don’t really read graphic novels much, much to Gene’s and others’ chagrin. But when I saw this one I laughed out loud. Being a former cat mom, I know Mully (my late tuxedo feline) loved me and only me; he would pounce on guys that came over and bite their toes. I guess this was his way of protecting me or weeding out the weak? Mully eventually warmed up to my husband Neale after we had been dating for a while. It was great seeing the two guys in my life get along, finally.
Anyway, The Oatmeal penned this graphic novel about the Bobcats — two of the most unlovable, raunchy, and hilarious felines on the planet. Their sole desire is to torment their human coworkers at the engineering firm where they work. Their neckties are the perfect touch for their corporate environment. Each day, the Bobs get loaded up on coffee and make the cubicle mongers stressed and miserable. It really is funny since I had no preconceived notions about the artwork or the storyline. My favorite moment was when the Bobcats got into a crowded company elevator and played “Gas Chamber.” They pressed all the buttons and then farted in the nasty way only felines can. Because I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy, I thought was hysterical.
The book reminded me of the movie Office Space. (If you haven’t watched it already, that is sad and unfortunate — rent it today!)

Bicycle Book Mobile
Bicycle Book Mobile, Los Gatos Library
I love finding things in the library that aren’t books, media, or web pages. Today I found the Los Gatos library’s “Chartreuse Caboose.”
It’s built with a great deal of rigid materials — I am more used to bike trailers with fabric body panels or even duffel bags strapped to a frame. However, this trailer needed to be more robust since it’s meant to haul lots of heavy books, and it also contains a WiFi hotspot. (The trailer is also a library card issuing center so it needs to be connected anyway.) A hefty, locally sourced electric assist bicycle is the prime mover for the bookmobile; Los Gatos has just enough steep hills to make hauling such a loaded trailer like this a pain without the electric help.
For extra fun for librarians, here’s the Los Gatos Library’s grant proposal to the Pacific Library Partnership. You’ll notice the care taken in showing what other sources of funding would be applied. (The grant would cover the high-end hauler, helmets, WiFi hotspot, bike tools and staff time for a year.) The custom trailer was funded by the Friends of the Los Gatos Library (whose book sales room is larger than many libraries). Further, the grant notes what resources the library already has for this project. For example, some library staff can ride their own bikes to support Chartreuse Caboose deployments, which makes better economic sense than trying to purchase (and park) an electric assist tandem.
There’s a trend in the San Francisco Bay Area for bike-based bookmobiles. Library systems for Sunnyvale, Santa Cruz County and San Francisco have adopted them recently. If your library has nearby places to visit and scant parking space, it might be something to look into.
Thanks to Robert in San Diego for this guest equipment review!

Tag: Greeting cards
Dogs provide the perfect greeting
If you’re an art lover like me I bet you often buy greeting cards for no particular occasion or person but just because you love the artwork. And if like me you’re a dog lover too, a large percentage of these cards carry images of dogs!
Aside from sending cards to nearest and dearest, how many of us have cards stuffed in drawers or pinned onto pin boards, maybe even framed? For artists, illustrators and photographers too, cards are a great way of getting their work out to a wider audience, with their details on the back of the card, you could say they were the perfect marketing tool.
Cards also help to keep small independent shops and galleries in business; there is a brilliant campaign called Just a Card, which aims to encourage people to buy from Designer/Makers and Independent Galleries and Shops by reinforcing the message that all purchases, however small, even ‘just a card’ are so vital to the prosperity and survival of small businesses. The campaign is the brainchild of Artist & Designer Sarah Hamilton, who felt compelled to act after seeing a quote from the owners of a gallery on the closure of their business … “If everyone who’d complimented our beautiful gallery had bought ‘just a card‘ we’d still be open”.
In my day job as a freelance art director, I recently visited the dedicated greeting card trade show PG Live, held at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, and thought that it would be a great opportunity to write a post about a couple of the smaller exhibitors who specialise in cards featuring dogs. The trade show which has been running for ten years, and takes it name from the trade publication Progressive Greetings is a great way for retailers from around the World to find the perfect cards for their shops. Card publishers, big and small fill the exhibition space and newcomers even have a dedicated area called Springboard, from which to launch their product to prospective card buyers.
One such designer / publisher is Nicole Orsi, from Red Berry Cards. Nicole, a graphic designer, set up her card company seven years ago, after having worked for a number of years as a card designer for a larger publisher.
One of Nicole’s most successful card ranges is her range called “Top Dog”, featuring various dog breeds, which she launched in 2013 with 12 cards. Nicole’s dog illustrations are very clean and simple images reminiscent of silk screen printing, in which close ups of dog faces fill the square cards and are presented without a caption. The range now contains 28 designs, the most popular of which are the Dachshund, Schnauzer, Black Lab, Border Terrier and Westie.
Nicole isn’t surprised by the popularity of the black lab card, having a black lab herself. Although Bailey, wasn’t the inspiration for the range having come into her life just under four years ago; however Nicole explained that she has always been a big dog lover, having grown up with dogs throughout her childhood and has been known to cross the road to say hello to a puppy! Nicole supplies her cards to a variety of gift and card shops, they can even be found at her local vets and a dog groomers!

This was Nicole’s sixth year of exhibiting at PG Live and this year she moved from the Springboard area to Springboard Extra downstairs, which she found to be a much better location for her, providing a greater buzz and more orders than the previous year.
A first time exhibitor at the show was Kathy Webster with her company Dotty Dog Art. Kathy, who had taken a stand within the Springboard section of the show, started her company in 2013 after being made redundant from her job at the Guide Dogs charity. Kathy explained that she hasn’t always been an artist, mainly because art wasn’t considered a ‘proper job’ when she was at school! So instead she journeyed along a varied career path including graphic design, veterinary nursing and Guide Dogs. Interestingly they all had the same two factors running through them, dogs and art. So when Kathy was sadly made redundant from Guide Dogs she decided to set up her own business initially concentrating on dog portrait commissions and then later in 2016 she ventured into the world of cards.
Kathy’s fabulous illustrations now adorn both captioned and non captioned cards. Like her commissioned portraits, the most popular cards feature the Terrier breeds. Dotty Dog Terriers range from the hugely popular Jack Russell Terrier to the less prevalent, but equally as gorgeous Glen of Imaal Terrier!
Dotty Dog Art cards on display at PG Live
As for her own four legged friends, Kathy shares her studio with, in her own words, “two unruly poodles… Freya our poodle x springer and Dandy our special rescue miniature poodle”, which she says “keep me company in the Dotty studio… sometimes sleeping, sometimes noisily play-fighting and sometimes destroying something important while I’m not looking!!!!
Kathy with her Poodle X Springer Dandy
Kathy’s first experience of PG Live was very positive, she says she will definitely be exhibiting there again next year. She said it was fun to be a part of the show, where there was a very friendly atmosphere but more importantly she gained a number of new stockists and secured her first export order!
As a nation dog ownership is growing, according to a recent survey by the pet food Manufacturers Association 6.6 million households own a dog, 300,000 more than last year! Therefore it should come as no surprise that greeting cards featuring dogs are becoming increasingly prevalent and popular. It is also important not to underestimate the importance of greeting cards, whether it be from the value they serve as a communication tool or the economic part they play in sustaining small independent businesses. As I write this post it is “Just a Card Week”, an initiative by the Just a Card campaign to celebrate their 3rd birthday. So I will leave you with their inspiring words …
“When you buy just a card, just a book, just a gift, just a pin etc. from an artist, maker, independent shop or creative business you’re not buying just a card, you’re supporting passion, skill, creativity, originality and community”.
Here are some useful links for any budding card publishers out there: –
The Greeting Card Association, can provide lots of useful information on how to publish your own greeting cards or how to license your artwork to card publishers.
The Ladder Club is a not for profit organisation helping new publishers get on the greeting card ladder. They hold seminars once a year and provide a community of other fledgling publishers to network with.

“Chien Couture” … dog art for the fashionista
Dogs have been used as symbols and devices in art for many centuries and in Selina Cassidy’s collection of paintings “Chien Couture”, they are the protagonists. But these aren’t any ordinary paintings of dogs, her dogs occupy centre stage in a fashionable and luxurious tableau, where the narrative isn’t quite as cut and dried as it at first appears.
‘A Dogue By Any Other Name” by Selina Cassidy from the “Chien Couture” collection
When I first stumbled across Selina’s “Chien Couture” paintings, I was amazed that I had never seen them before; particularly as they combined three of my biggest passions … dogs, interiors & art, I knew had to find out more and so I contacted Selina who kindly agreed to answer some questions and to be featured in this blog.
By Selina Cassidy
I began by asking how did “Chien Couture” come about, Selina explains …
“I have always been drawn to interiors and objects, I used to spend hours looking through my mothers 80s interior decoration books and now have my own Terence Conran collection and a small library of World Of Interiors publications. This, along with my passion for second hand furniture, fashion and unusual objects, has for many years provided an endless source of inspiration to carry concept and narrative”. It was whilst Selina was studying for her MA in communication Design at Central St Martins that she began focusing on the domestic interior, in particular drawing attention to the role of women in the home. However it wasn’t until Selina graduated and found herself living in the South of France, that dogs provided an unexpected inspiration. It was here that she found herself being particularly drawn to the rich and colourful, designer clad stylish locals with their canine companions, often dressed in matching attire. Selina recalls, “I was both intrigued and amused to often see both dressed head to toe in haute couture, it was a feast for the eyes. I wanted to tell the story of the designer through interiors and the objects placed within them, with the dog centre stage and that is how it began”.
The distinctive and playful “Chien Couture” logo
‘Chien Couture’ is such a great name and it truly expresses what this collection of paintings is about, I suggest to Selina that the name in itself is like a “brand name” and wonder at what point did she decide this was going to be a series of paintings. “The idea grew organically after finishing the first couple of pieces. I have a design background and the subject of my artwork offered itself to being presented as its own unique brand. ‘Chien Couture’, allowing for a bit of poetic license, neatly conveys the concept of my collection whilst referencing where it all began in France. The logo is purposely playful, but at the same time it communicates the luxuriousness of the finished artwork”. And it’s not only in this branding concept that art is imitating fashion, Selina also carries through the feeling of luxury into how she presents her work. “I take so much care over every part of the artwork right through to the packaging, allowing the concept to run through the collectors’ whole experience, as you would expect with any luxury ‘designer’ object. I thoroughly enjoyed designing and creating everything and am proud to be able to say that the limited edition prints, archival portfolios and bespoke frames are all made in Britain. I initially made my own portfolios as I am a qualified book-binder and they had to be created to hold a very specific size print whilst also looking attractive, like a boxed perfume. I now work with a wonderful traditional bookbinding team in the West Country who make them to my exacting specifications, this allows me to spend more time painting”.
Below left to right are examples of Selina’s attention to detail, the embossed logo, the handmade portfolio and a folio seal of the logo.
Selina’s paintings are as multifaceted as the world of fashion & interiors she portrays. At first glance they are decorative pieces constructed by many intricate details but can be seen on many different levels, I question Selina on whether they are in fact portraits of the owners, who aren’t even shown, rather than portraits of dogs … or are they a pure narrative on fashion, presented with a slight sense of fun or even mocking nod to the pretensions of the fashion world? To which she responds, like most artists, with a slightly non committal answer … “I would like to believe my artwork is both aesthetically pleasing but also conceptually rich. I think it is important for people to approach a piece of artwork and take the messages and ideas that they want to from the composition, without being led or shown what to see. Avoiding any spoilers, my artwork is all about subtleties, some of my collectors enjoy the pieces for their pure aesthetics, unfolding the narrative over time, even contacting me later, surprised that they never noticed the bullet-hole instead of the door knob. The majority of the works explore the history of the designer, this entwined with the dog breeds to continue the narrative. Without a doubt there is a sense of fun to the subject, how can there not be when a dog takes centre stage, but I think in most compositions there is a sense of human presence through the setting, where you are still left questioning who is in control”. Recently challenged by a visitor to one of her exhibitions, as to whether fashion was a shallow subject to convey in art, Selina quite rightly pointed out that fashion is very influential and has a rich history with some interesting stories. It is also something that tells us so much about us and the world we are living in now, as Selina concludes… “We are living in an extremely materialistic world, we collect and exhibit our acquisitions on our bodies and in our homes and that my work captures a moment in time. There is no right or wrong but as an artist I certainly find it an interesting and fulfilling subject to explore”.
Selina in her studio
So where did Selina’s passion for painting begin? Like most artists, she cannot remember a time when she wasn’t creating in one form or another. She describes herself as a very visual person and says that her family joke that her version of reading a book is looking at the pictures! Concerns over being able to earn a living, lead her to study Graphic Design at Bath School of Art rather than Fine Art; but her passion for physically drawing and painting (rather than using computer tools) meant Selina quickly specialised in illustration. From Bath, Selina secured a place at Central St Martins, where she obtained her MA and honed her skills, learning the importance and power of concept through the artwork she was creating.
It is no surprise that Selina cites the Surrealist as an influence on her work, especially the artists Dali and Rene Magritte, sprinkled she says, “with the wit and intelligence of Children’s book Illustrator, Anthony Browne. Bosch for his captivating strange little worlds, both fairytale like and horrific”. Other inspiring artists include, Georgia O’Keefe “for her suggestion of something other than what we initially see, i.e. female genitalia, despite this being denied as intentional” and German artist Rosa Loy, who Selina says “reminds me of the power and importance of negative space”.
Framed “House of Lion”
Inspiration aside, the big question that I’ve been dying to ask is whether Selina has a dog herself, since her paintings show a familiarity and understanding of our four legged friends. Selina confesses she does indeed love dogs but is currently unable to have one of her own, owing to Ralph, a characterful but somewhat controlling British Blue cat, which she and her husband rescued. Ralph would certainly not entertain the company of a canine companion! Selina says that she does however, spend sufficient time with the dogs of family and friends to be receptive to their nuances and behaviours which is also helps to feed her imagination.
I’m intrigued as to who Selina’s clients / customers are for the “Chien Couture” series, are they dog lovers, fashionistas? And this is perhaps the beauty of Selina’s work, in that she explains her clientele are wide-ranging … “dog owners but also people who through circumstances don’t own a dog but would love to, also those who have an appreciation for conceptual art”.
“Chien Couture” artwork is available as both original paintings and as limited edition prints, Selina also is happy to undertake commissions and says she has had great fun working with clients to produce a painting that evokes a sense of them and their surroundings through their beloved dog or cat. Her originals are painted in acrylic paint on Fabriano Artistico, in what is quite a lengthy process, “from concept and numerous drafts to the painting of fine hairs or the grain of wood in an almost masochistic way, for me its about the detail” says Selina. Select pieces are available in small hand-signed limited editions of 50 prints, with a choice of ‘original’ or ‘grande’ size. Both the originals and limited editions can be purchased at chiencoutureart.com (where worldwide delivery is available). Selina is also represented online by Caiger Art and Saatchi Art online.
Appreciation of “Chien Couture” is growing, the collection was most recently exhibited at The Other Art Fair in London, where Selina was selected by art historian and Sky Arts presenter, Kate Bryan, as one of thirty female artists to showcase the 30th edition of the Fair. Prior to this Selina has also exhibited work mainly in London at the Old Truman Brewery and The Mall Galleries. This April she will be exhibiting at the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate.
Selina’s work has been featured in The World of Interiors
So what’s in store I asked Selina, what plans does she have for “Chien Couture” in the future? Big plans she replies and confesses she is ..”both excited and exhausted when I think of the scope for the collection. I have just completed the first of three smaller originals on Basswood cradles, which I will unveil in the coming months. The Husky is the subject of my next main collection originals and is in draft stage. I am also planning my next triptych showcasing hounds. I have had many requests to start cats and after completing a couple of private commissions I certainly have them on my agenda”.
Selina in front of “The Finest Hour”
With “Chien Couture”, Selina has certainly created a unique brand and a subject matter that has mileage; one that Selina is clearly enjoying exploring; she concludes “It’s such a rich and entertaining subject and I love sharing my creations with my collectors, the conversation it strikes up and the joy you see, whilst they explore the artwork, is so rewarding.”

Waves Platform and Higher School of Economics Partner for Pro FinTech Startup Program
December 28, 2016, Moscow, Russia � Business Incubator of Higher School of Economics in Moscow has announced the second year of fintech startup program HSE{Pro}Fintech. Official partners of the fintech section are Waves, the decentralized platform for crowdfunding and community management and National Settlement Depository.
FinTech applications
The Incubator recently launched the second round of its {pro} fintech programme. The program aims to develop projects in the field of financial and blockchain technologies, in particular services for banks and their customers, personal finance management systems, peer-to-peer services, investment systems, payments, transfers and other fintech products.
Whilst Bitcoin has pioneered peer-to-peer online money transfer for almost 8 years now, Blockchain 2.0 technology is still in its relative infancy. A number of decentralised asset exchanges have already been created, including on the Nxt, BitShares, and Counterparty platforms. However, none of these have achieved significant traction, for a number of reasons. Firstly, they were small ecosystems. The assets traded generally had low liquidity and high spreads, and being decentralised platforms there was little accountability and a large proportion of low-quality and fraudulent assets. Regulations were practically non-existent. Additionally, trading was slow due to inherent block-time limitations of the blockchain. This made it almost impossible to attract legitimate new businesses and for these early decentralised exchanges to achieve critical mass.
Waves platform is aiming to bring solutions to all of these problems with its Waves’ DEX (decentralised exchange), which has just been released on testnet. It allows any token to be traded directly against any other token � rather than trading two tokens separately against a reference currency, as most other platforms require. Moreover, it features an innovative new system that enables trades to be executed in near real-time via a �Matcher�, enabling high-frequency trading but still be settled on the blockchain for security.
Additionally, fiat gateways are in the process of being created to allow the use of blockchain-based EUR, USD, CNY and other major currency tokens. Gateways, which act as on- and off-ramps between the traditional financial sector and the blockchain, are responsible for remaining compliant in their regulatory jurisdictions. Thus, the Waves DEX allows for speed, security, and compliance.

December 15, 2016 - Ronnie Blacklidge retires after 50 years in the road construction industry
Brittany Blacklidge, CEO and President of Blacklidge, will continue his father’s legacy of innovation, focusing on product development and building safer, longer-lasting roads.
Blacklidge announced the retirement of Ronnie Blacklidge, Sr. today after 26 years at Blacklidge. Brittany Blacklidge, Ronnie’s son, has been leading the company since 2009 and will continue to serve as the company’s CEO and President. “It is incredible to look back on my father’s 50+ year career and see all of his amazing accomplishments. If you look close enough, you can see my father’s fingerprints all around this company,” said Brittany Blacklidge.
Ronnie Blacklidge founded Blacklidge Emulsions in 1990. Blacklidge’s first product was an asphalt emulsion that was used to control dust on unpaved surfaces and that could also be used as a prime coat. Blacklidge patented this asphalt emulsion and named it EPR-1 Prime. This product became the DOT standard in Mississippi and other neighboring states in the South. The success of this innovative product allowed for investment into the production of other products including SS-1 (Tack Coat) and CRS-2/2P (Chip seal emulsion).
Product development and research drive Blacklidge while customer service provides a solid foundation for the company. “My father viewed customer service as his #1 priority and he placed the utmost importance on building long-lasting client relationships,” said Brittany Blacklidge. “We view our growth and prosperity as a direct result of our client centered focus at Blacklidge.”
2016 has been a tremendous year of growth for the Gulfport-based company with the launch of HiMod Technology®, the proprietary formula that produces super fine, thin-film bonding agents and powers UltraTack®, the Original Trackless Tack, and UltraFuse®. Harnessing ground breaking technology such as HiMod®, Blacklidge works tirelessly to build safer, longer-lasting roads for contractors, D.O.T.’s, counties and municipalities throughout the Southeast.
“Even though my father is retiring, I’m sure he’ll continue to be a constant fixture at the office or plant. He is so proud of all of us at the company and what we have built together. I am looking forward to many great years ahead and continuing my father’s legacy of service and excellence,” said Brittany Blacklidge.
About Blacklidge Emulsions
Blacklidge is a leading innovator, producer and distributor of asphalt products. Based in Gulfport, Mississippi, Blacklidge has several facilities across the Southern United States. Blacklidge manufactures several superior asphalt products—such as UltraTack™ and UltraFuse®—with their proprietary technology, HiMod®. Family-owned and operated since its inception in 1990, Blacklidge prides itself on its legacy of building safer, longer-lasting roads.

2009 Lotus Exige Review
by U.S. News Best Cars Staff | February 10, 2010
Note: This review was created when the 2009 Lotus Exige was new.
The Lotus Exige is a track junkie's dream come true -- offering mind-blowing speeds and unrivaled handling dynamics. However, it rides stiff and lacks luxury, making it less fit for daily use than some of its rivals.
Critics' Rating: 9.3
Interior: 5.3
Safety: N/A
Excellent power and handling
Functional, eye-catching exterior
Few safety and convenience features
Hard to access, low slung cabin
Stiff suspension impedes daily use

2009 Lotus Exige Overview
The 2009 Exige is engineered for one thing only -- performance. In fact, almost every other aspect of it was designed with its performance capabilities in mind. If you can appreciate that, then you won't mind its sparse cabin, which forgoes luxury and convenience to save weight. Disappointing? Maybe. But in the end, it proves well worth it. In fact, Autobytel writes: "Flamboyant and fun, elemental and efficient, there are few cars on the market built strictly to address the joy of driving. The Lotus Exige S is one of those rare, purpose-built automobiles that make getting behind the wheel a thrill rather than a chore. We need more cars like this."
If you're in the market for a track-tuned beast of a machine, but can't stomach the Exige's hefty price tag, consider a Honda S2000 Club Racer. It's not as eye-catching as the Exige, but offers mind-blowing performance for an affordable price. Plus, it features a removable aluminum hardtop -- which offers relief on hot days at the track.
The '09 Exige is available in two trims, S and S 240. Both feature a 1.8-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine.
"This is a track-ready missile that shares its chassis and interior with the Elise. The Exige S, however, doesn't have a removable top, and it has different body panels and a rear wing, the latter to increase downforce. For those interested in an all-out track toy, the Exige is an excellent choice." -- Car and Driver
"Obviously, there are also moments of stunned amazement, because this is a truly uncompromised sports car, and extended periods of low-level irritation, occasionally verging on terror, because this is one godawful car in traffic and around town. But this compact little collection of wings, vents, spoilers, handling, oomph, and grip was built to order from the happiest days of your childhood." -- Jalopnik
"The Exige, however, exists for those live-fast die-hard enthusiasts who don't give a crap about cupholders, sat-nav, luggage capacity, impact harshness, HVAC, NVH, ESP, XYZ, or any other nifty electro-mechanic nuisance with an obscure acronym." -- Edmunds
"Certainly the Exige S isn't for everyone, but for the true enthusiast who reveres performance-oriented driving dynamics ... this is as undefiled a road car that money can buy." -- Automobile.com
"Some car guys know the price of everything and the value of nothing, as car guy Oscar Wilde put it. Others value efficiency and purity at any price; size doesn't matter. The Exige--the best-handling, purest, most entertaining production sports car on the road--is for them." -- Forbes

Dynamo/Soccer
Few show up to watch Tigres-Monterrey
By Bernardo Fallas on January 7, 2010 at 3:18 PM
CF Monterrey rescued a dramatic last-minute 1-1 tie against Tigres UANL in Wednesday’s special InterLiga edition of the Clasico Regiomontano.
But odds are you missed the Group B doubleheader. A little more than 10,000 showed up to watch only the most anticipated showdown of the group stage.
Blame the late start or the threat of cold weather (it never got that chilly), but the attendance number was truly disappointing.
If you ask me, more proof that InterLiga, at least as we know it, likely won’t be around in 2011.
Having these games so close to the holidays doesn’t help. Heck, I don’t think I would have had $20 on me to buy a ticket.
Teams are in preseason, and fans know this. Controversy and criticisms in years past have tarnished InterLiga’s appeal as a legitimate tournament.
The tournament has no appeal to most casual fans. And, if you ask me, I felt SUM and the MLS teams hosting these games, including the Dynamo, have to a large extent given up on trying to market the tournament.
When Puebla and Jaguares kicked off the action, there were maybe 300 people in the stands.
Cash-strapped Puebla won 1-0 to clinch a berth in the finals doubleheader. Win there, and it’s on to Copa Libertadores.
The tournament moves on to Carson, Calif.

Rep. Ron Paul, longtime advocate of dismantling the Federal Reserve Bank and the Social Security system, has added a new cause to his list: internet rights.
Ron Paul, working with his son, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has now written an online manifesto called “The Technology Revolution: A campaign for liberty manifesto.”
The manifesto outlines the Paul’s plan for the internet which, unlike the plans of both Democrats and Republicans, calls for a complete lack of regulation of the internet by the government.
The Paul’s tout the benefits of the unregulated internet, saying, “As a consequence, decentralization has unlocked individual self-empowerment, entrepreneurialism, creativity, innovation and the creation of new markets in ways never before imagined in human history.”
The manifesto lists a number of the positive outcomes that came from a completely unregulated internet, such as: Apple’s products like the iPod, iTunes and iPad, as well as the app store which, without government regulation, created almost a half-million jobs.
The manifesto makes it clear that Ron and Rand Paul disagree with both the GOP-led regulations of SOPA and PIPA as well as the more liberal-led idea of “net-neutrality” that still advocates that the government monitor the doings of private companies.
At the end of the manifesto the representatives reaffirm their libertarian ideals, saying, “As a matter of principle, we oppose any attempt by Government to tax, regulate, monitor or control the Internet, and we oppose the Internet collectivists who collaborate with the government against Internet freedom. This is our revolution…. Government needs to get out of the way.”

Cash flow explained
How many people can say that they truly understand the cash flow statement? How many people - when asked to design a cash flow statement in a financial consolidation and reporting tool - would know where to start?
Having worked in finance and having been involved in the design and implementation of consolidation solutions for many years, I would like to think I can answer yes to both these questions. Recently, however, I have spent some time looking at the cash flow design within FCCS (Oracle's Financial Consolidation and Close cloud service product). I can say that the out-of-the-box design concept really does make cash flow simple to explain and to implement.
The out-of-the-box design is predicated on organising all balance sheet movements in to a cash flow hierarchy. The underlying concept being: if the opening and closing balance sheets both balance, then the cash flow will always reconcile to net cash. Easy, yes? What could possibly go wrong? As always with cash flow, it is the quality of the information provided that determines the quality of the final statement. Intelligent design of the movements dimension in FCCS will provide all you need to be able to produce a detailed and accurate statutory cash flow.
Let me illustrate this by looking at how the cash flow works in FCCS.
In the following example, a sale is made giving revenue of £150. The initial journal booked is to credit revenue with £150 and to debit receivables with £150. The posting to the receivables account would be made against a movement member called “Movement on Receivables” while the posting to the revenue account would be made against “Movement on Net Income”.
In the illustration above, the “Statement of Financial Position” has a balanced opening position (Net Assets of £160 balancing against Total Equity of £160). Net Assets is then increased by the “Movement on Receivables” of £150 to give a closing balance of £310. Total equity is increased by the income statement credit of £150 representing the revenue and is seen in retained earnings on the “Movement on Net Income” line. A cash flow can now be derived simply by subtracting Net Assets from Total Equity. In this case, that gives us a “Cash Flow from Net Income” of £150 and a “Cash Flow from Receivables” of -£150; a total cash flow of zero.
However, this sale was made from goods within inventory which had a cost of £120. An additional entry is therefore made to debit cost of sales with £120 also against the “Movement on Net Income” and credit inventory of £120 against “Movement on Inventories”. At this stage the customer has not paid any cash for these goods.
At the end of month 1, there is a profit of £30 showing against the “Movement in Net Income” line. The receivables account has an increase of £150 on the “Movement in Receivables” line and the Inventory account has a Movement on Inventories of -£120. Again, the cash flow is now simply derived by subtracting Net Assets from Total Equity.
Presented differently, this gives us the following Statement of Cash Flows:
In the following month, additional trading occurs giving rise to additional revenue of £80 with an associated cost of sale of £70. This sale was again made from inventory.
(The first thing to note is that this statement of financial position shows the movements from month 1 to month 2, and so the opening position represents the closing position from the end of month 1 not the end of the prior year).
Also, in month 2 a payment is received for the goods sold in month 1. This gives rise to the first true cash movement.
In this case the movement on receivables is the debit of £80 relating to the new sale and the credit of £150 representing the cash received in payment for the month 1 sale giving a total cash flow from receivables of £70.
Organising these movements in to the cash flow hierarchy gives the following:
So far so good, but these are easy examples I hear you say. Cash flow is never really this simple.
Let’s now look at a slightly more complex example. In month 3, this same company purchases an item of PPE (property, plant and equipment) for £90, £50 is paid in the month and the remaining £40 deferred.
Our statement of financial position now includes additional accounts, PPE and Capital Creditors, also our movement dimension (describing the movement between the opening balance sheet and closing balance sheet) has new members; “PPE Additions” and “Movement on Capital Creditors”.
The full value of the addition to PPE has been included on the PPE account using the PPE additions movement, i.e. £90. We have included a movement of £50 on the cash account and a movement of £40 on the capital creditors account. Again, the cash flow is derived by deduction Net Assets from Total Equity giving us the following:
Let’s add more complications by assuming that in the following month, the outstanding balance on the purchase of the PPE is paid, and this same asset was depreciated and then sold. Our depreciation charge is £3, and the asset was sold for £100 with all cash being received in the month.
Let’s take each of these transactions in turn. First the depreciation charge. Our income statement shows a depreciation charge of £3 which flows through to Retained Earnings on the Movement in Net Income line and will therefore be included in the top line of the cash flow, Net Income. However, we also see the depreciation amount as a defined movement against the PPE account. So, this can be added back to the cash flow statement as part of cash flow from operating activities, as this is a non-cash movement. Next, we have the payment of the capital creditor. This is an easy one as this is just a movement on cash offset by a movement on the capital creditor. Finally, we have the PPE disposal.
The easy part first: we receive cash of £100 which is shown as a movement on “Cash” and as a “Proceeds on Disposal” movement on PPE. However, the PPE only had a net book value of £87 (the opening balance of £90 less the depreciation charge of £3). This gives us a realised profit on disposal on £13 which need to be a credit to the income statement. Let’s now pull all this together and see if our derived cash flow still works.
The important thing to note here is that this cash flow has still been produced directly from balance sheet movements. This has been possible because we were able to identify specific charges and credits in the income statement and disclose these as separate movements against the relevant balance sheet accounts. In other words, we have high-quality information enabling us to analyse the movements on our assets and liabilities. The better the quality of the information, the more accurate will be the cash flow.
So how to sum this up? We can attest to the fact that producing a cash flow that reconciles to the movement on cash is simple. On the other hand, producing a cash flow that reconciles to the movement on cash and correctly allocates movements between operating, investing and financing activities is simple, but highly dependent on the quality of data available. What we are sure of, is that intelligent design of the movements dimension in FCCS gives you all the tools you need to be able to produce a detailed and accurate statutory cash flow.
Not everyone is as enthusiastic about cash flow as we are. If you have had enough of wrestling with yours, drop us a line.

Redefining the Role of CIO: A Gartner Symposium ITXPO 2015 Perspective
By Yvonne Wassenaar • Oct. 15th, 2015 • Technology Industry
ceo, CIO, digital customer experience, events, Gartner
From my perspective, GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt (CEO GE) was spot on in his talk at the Gartner Symposium IT XPO 2015 conference in Florida last week. Immelt suggested that his peers would be going to bed as CEOs of industrial companies… and waking up as CEOs of software companies. Either that, or they would become irrelevant.
Immelt and I are not alone in this outlook, and there’s plenty of data to support it. A recent PWC Digital IQ study found that 34% of executives responding felt that the CEO was the ultimate executive responsible for the companies’ digital enterprise investments. A recent Gartner study, meanwhile, reported that CEOs expected their digital revenues to roughly double from 2014 to 2019, increasing on average from 22% of revenues to 41%. Mark Raskino, a Vice President and Gartner Fellow, noted that 15% of the S&P 500 didn’t even exist 15 years ago.
So where does this new digital world leave CIOs? The question was top of mind at the Gartner ITXPO Symposium, particularly in presentations from Immelt and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, who are both working to move their 100+ year old businesses into the digital age.
IBM: Disrupt or be disrupted
Rometty pointed out that companies like hers face a stark choice in this digital era: be a disruptor or be disrupted. But while Rometty acknowledged that cloud, mobile, and data are key focus areas of companies today and “going digital” is very important, she didn’t see digital as the destination but rather a requirement for future relevance. When everyone is digital, she asked, what is going be the new differentiator?
For IBM, the difference will be cognitive analytics. “Think about digital business married with digital intelligence and you get cognitive,” Rometty said. “This is a… cognitive era.”
Watson, IBM’s artificial intelligence system, is symbolic of the new reality. “What Watson does,” Rometty said, “is it understands information. It can reason, it can learn and then in the end, you can actually take those characteristics—thinking, learning—and then embed it in a business.” Watson can turn any company into a “thinking business,” she claimed.
In alignment with Rometty’s talk at ITXPO, IBM announced last week it is launching a new 2,000-person division, Cognitive Business Solutions, intended to advise companies on how to best use Watson to their advantage.
GE combines the physical and the digital
At GE, the secret to remaining relevant for another century is to marry the physical with the digital. As Immelt put it, “You wake up one day and realize that the locomotive you used to sell is a data center.” He explained that the locomotive can now supply information on maintenance, fuel efficiency, and performance, which can be used to improve fleet management and operational efficiency. For big railroads, Immelt noted, even marginal improvements in efficiency can translate into millions of dollars.
And locomotives are just the tip of the iceberg. GE’s big digital investment is Predix, an industrial analytics platform that’s cloud based, open, and designed to let customers write their own applications. The company plans to offer the GE Predix Cloud through an on-demand, pay-as-you-go pricing model, helping to position the company toward $15 billion in software revenue by 2020, according to Reuters.
Will CIOs become digital partners—or irrelevant?
This digital transformation won’t be easy for many companies, and Immelt closed his talk with a powerful message to the CIOs in the audience. “You’ve just been too passive for too long,” he warned. “You’re not conceptualizing how important you are in your company. You have to be an active leader demanding a seat at the table because your company needs you.”
Chris Curran, Chief Technologist at PWC, put the challenge in perspective, noting that 68% of technology expenditures now occur outside the control of the CIO. With that in mind, Curran advised CIOs to start thinking differently about talent, operating models, and learning. He noted the increasing role of STEM recruiting, crowdsourcing, and freelancing in the talent wars, and called out the importance of agile and DevOps, open source, and cross-functional teams as core to innovation in operating models. And he urged the audience to spend more time with incubators, VCs, universities, and labs to jumpstart their learning. The future role of the CIO is uncertain, Curran suggested, and remaining relevant will require different behaviors than in the past.
What’s the “I” in CIO?
I believe CIOs who understand the importance of digital must do everything they can to make it a reality in their companies. With that in mind, perhaps it’s time to update the go-forward definition of CIO from Chief Information Officer to something more relevant to our digital future. I like Chief Instigation Officer, Chief Investigation Officer, or perhaps best of all, Chief Innovation Officer.
