Trump’s Industrial Strategy Fails Without Amping Up Science
Afghanistan’s Creepiest Game: US Soldiers Stalk Afghan Wildlife
Steve Clemons - May 12, 2010
8 Comments Print Email Share
Andrew Lebovich, a frequent TWN contributor and staff member at the New America Foundation’s American Strategy Program, prepared today the AfPak page brief for Foreign Policy this morning.
This slightly disturbing kicker caught my attention:
Afghanistan’s creepiest game
When not on the watch for Taliban, U.S. Army soldiers rotating through a remote Kandahar outpost hunt instead for the things that go bump in the night (AP).
Soldiers go out on patrols for snakes, scorpions and giant camel spiders, sometimes helped by mortar crews firing illumination rounds and cheered on by their colleagues.
I rather prefer the military lip synching and creating Lady Gaga tributes to this.
And then again, in the eyes of the local citizens and the Taliban soldiers we are fighting, both activities look like signs of real decadence that do nothing to win the hearts and minds of Afghans.

For one: I see nothing wrong with the actions of our soldiers while over there in the muck and flax of an uncompromisingly boring situation. It keeps them entertained and focused on sharpening their intuitive hunting skills.
Have any of you ever been hunting for critters? Ever tromped through the mud searching for that elusive snake? Ever turned rocks looking for that particular spider? It’s hard, taxing work and does nothing BUT enhance your natural hunting ability.
As long as our soldiers aren’t sitting around with their proverbial thumbs up their a**es, I have no complaints. Sure they are there to do their jobs as warfighters, but action isn’t always nonstop. During the lulls, if you aren’t mentally or physically engaged, you become soft; complacent; and in extreme cases: Dead.
I’m headed in that direction myself shortly and my worst fear is not the enemy. It’s the extreme levels of boredom between possible engagements.
What seem like superfluous, or even reckless, extracurricular activities actually serve to maintain a level of organization and sanity in an otherwise chaotic setting. So long as unnecessary dangers are avoided.

POA. By definition it is a wise investment from the point of view of the decision maker or it would not have occurred. You are looking at it from your, your fellow citizen, and the soldiers point of view. We don’t get to decide. We just pay in real terms, and the decision makers receive in real terms. Like our banking system, or military system socializes the costs and privatizes the benefits.
Have you forgotten the shrink wrapped bricks of $100 bills, tossed around like jelly beans, 6-10 dump truck loads going to some unknown Kirkukian merely by asking?
But yes I am creeped out even more by the folks that see nothing wrong with our “soldiers” making sport of killing, as I am with the behavior of the soldiers themselves.
But then here at the Taos, NM “family center,” eight year olds play video games provided by the NM National Guard that simulate killing of dark skinned folk in desert settings, being advised to breathe in, be calm, and slowly squeeze. How far till we get to Genghis Khan?
The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see their near and dear bathed in tears, to ride their horses and sleep on the white bellies of their wives and daughters.

Nonetheless, as in a tale foretold, congress is expected to vote later this month on US$33 billion in further “war funding” to pay for sending 30,000 troops (plus “support” troops, etc) to Afghanistan – most of whom are already there or soon will be. In addition, an extra $2 billion is being requested for aid and “civilian” operations in Afghanistan (much of which may actually go to the Afghan military and police), $2.5 billion for the same in our almost forgotten war in Iraq, and another $2 billion for aid to (or is it a further military presence in?) Haiti.
This upcoming vote provides the opportunity that our representatives were asking for half a year ago. They can now vote the president’s escalation up or down in the only way that could possibly be enforced, by voting its funding up or down. Blocking the funding in the House of Representatives would mean turning those troops around and bringing them back home – and unlike the procedure for passing a bill, there would be no need for any action by the senate or the president.
What does $33 billion look like?
So, how much money are we talking about exactly? Well not enough, evidently, for the teabagging enemies of reckless government spending to take notice. Clearly not enough for the labor movement or any other advocates of spending on jobs or healthcare or education or green energy to disturb their slumbers. God forbid! Yet it’s still a sizeable number by a certain reckoning.
After all, 33 billion miles could take you to the sun 226 times. And $33 billion could radically alter any non-military program in existence. There’s a bill in the senate, for instance, that would prevent schools from laying off teachers in all 50 states for a mere $23 billion. Another $9.6 billion would quadruple the Department of Energy’s budget for renewable energy. Now, what to do with that extra $0.4 billion?
And remember what this $33 billion actually involves: adding more troops, support troops and private contractors, whose work, in turn, will mean ongoing higher costs to maintain the Afghan occupation, construct new bases there, fuel the machines of war, and provide the weaponry. Keep in mind as well that various other costs associated with the president’s most recent “surge” are hidden in the budgets of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of State and other parts of the government. Looking just at the military, however, this is $33 billion to be added to an unfathomable pile of waste. According to the Congressional Budget Office, congress has already approved $345 billion for war in Afghanistan, not to mention $708 billion in Iraq.
According to the National Priorities Project, for that same money we could have renewable energy in 1,083,271,391 homes for a year (or every home in the country for more than 10 years), or pay 17,188,969 elementary school teachers for a year. There may be 2.6 million elementary and middle school teachers in our country now. Assuming we could use three million teachers, we could hire them all for five years and employ that extra $13 billion or so to give them bonuses. “Honor our brave teachers” anyone?
Even these calculations, however, are misleading. As economists Linda Bilmes and Joseph Stiglitz demonstrated in The Three Trillion Dollar War, their book on the cost of the Iraq war alone, adding in debt payments on moneys borrowed to fight that war, long-term care for veterans wounded in it, the war’s impact on energy prices, and other macroeconomic impacts, the current tax bill for the Iraq war must be at least tripled and probably quadrupled or more to arrive at its real long-term cost. (Similarly, the cost in lives must be multiplied by all those lives that could have been saved through other, better uses of the same funding.) The same obviously applies to the Afghan war.
The fact is that military spending is destroying the US economy. An excellent report from the National Priorities Project, “Security Spending Primer”, provides a summary of research that supports these basic and well-documented facts:
Investing public dollars in the military produces fewer jobs than cutting taxes.
Cutting taxes produces fewer jobs than investing public dollars in any of these areas: healthcare, education, mass transit, or construction for home weatherization and infrastructural repair.
Investing public dollars in mass transit or education produces more than twice as many jobs as investing in the military.
Investing public dollars in education produces better paying jobs than investing in the military or cutting taxes.
Investing public dollars in any of these areas: healthcare, education, mass transit, construction for home weatherization and infrastructural repair has a larger direct and indirect economic impact than investing in the military or cutting taxes.
Too broad a view? Then consider just the present proposed $33 billion escalation funding for the Afghan war. For that sum, we could have 20 green energy jobs paying $50,000 per year here in the United States for every soldier sent to Afghanistan; a job, that is, for each of those former soldiers and 19 other Americans. We’re spending on average $400 per gallon to transport gas over extended and difficult supply lines into Afghanistan where the US military uses 27 million gallons a month. We’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars to bribe various small nations to be part of a “coalition” there. We’re spending at least that much to bribe Afghans to join our side, an effort that has so far recruited only 646 Taliban guerrillas, many of whom seem to have taken the money and run back to the other side. Does all this sound like a wise investment – or the kind of work Wall Street would do?

I read in a magazine a couple of weeks ago that a hunter in the Wahkan corridor was checking his traps and had a Snow Leopard. Afghanistanis did not know they had any Snow Leopard’s left. Long story short, the hunter took it to Kabul to sell but word got around and USAID or some agency talked him into giving it up so they could nurse it back to health. They day they were going to take it back to where it was caught to release it, it died. The vet thought it must have been shock.

“We have shot an amazing number of people, but to my knowledge, none has ever proven to be a threat,” says Afghan commander McChrystal.
Except for creatures great and small whether human or non human, military life is “generally very boring.”
Mr.Murder says: May 12, 2010 at 2:06 pm
You misstated something. they are not soldiers, geneva doesn;t apply. Just ask Dubya or Barack. Well, ask their White House counsel, or their Ag’s. Perhaps the two soon to be on the SCOTUS can clarify that item for you, on your way to the gulag.
Cato the Censor says: May 12, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Military life is generally very boring. As a result, GIs will do virtually anything to amuse themselves as the Donsblog comment notes. I know this from personal experience. They do not have Georgetown cocktail parties to attend.
Instead of straining at this small point, Mr. Clemons, why don’t you grasp the real nettle: the situation in Afghanistan is militarily unwinnable. The best thing to do is get out. Once that step’s taken, we needn’t be concerned about GIs having vermin-hunting parties anymore. GIs in CONUS stations who don’t have to worry about being shot or blown up in a hopeless, neo-colonial war will have more opportunities to work on their Lady GaGa drills.
DonsBlog says: May 12, 2010 at 12:46 pm
I have to admit to having done some of the same when I was younger and stationed in Turkey. We were warned about camel spiders, asps, poisonous scorpions, centipedes, and toads. When we had an exercise in the middle of the night I was always wondering what was crawling around me.
I think it probably gave us a bit of a feeling of control over the more real and deadly human activities around us. I was there before the Iran situation when we “weren’t there”, after the Cyprus war, surrounded by the Soviets and listening to gunfire from the Kurdish uprising every night. If the bugs didn’t get you the mess hall food probably wood, several friends ended up in the hospital on IVs.
I don’t think my Turkish friends cared, having rituals of their own.
Those troops are dealing with a lot of stress. If this is the worst they do I don’t think it’s all that bad.

I think President Trump is on to something in trying to compel a change in China’s predatory trade practices and finally putting a spotlight on China’s government-orchestrated intellectual property theft. I’d rather Trump and his top trade gladiators economist Peter Navarro and USTR Robert Lighthizer focus more on supercomputers, artificial intelligence, energy storage, materials science, advanced genetics and robotics, and other industries of the future than soybeans and steel, but the concern about China’s zero-sum approach to economic exchange is…

Westminster crash not thought to be terrorism, friends say
Westminster ‘terror’ crash was an accident, suspect’s friend says.
The crash outside the Houses of Parliament that sparked a terror scare was “an accident”, a friend of the suspect has said.
Armed police arrested 29-year-old Salih Khater after he allegedly ploughed into cyclists and pedestrians in his Ford Fiesta before crashing into a security barrier.
He was held on a terrorism charge and further arrested for attempted murder, with police initially saying he was not co-operating with investigators trying to understand a motive.
Anwar Mukhta, who said he has known Khater for eight years, told ITV News the current narrative will be revealed to be a “lie”.

“It is an accident, it’s nothing to do with terrorists, it’s nothing to do with any organisation that tried to make an attack to any Government department,” he added.
He also described the keen footballer, a British national originally from Sudan, as a “very kind and quiet and decent person” who is “very generous” and “very smiley”.
Mr Mukhta echoed other members of Khater’s community in Birmingham, saying the former accountancy student at Coventry University travelled to London to get a visa to see his family in Sudan.

The suspect’s brother, Abdullah Khater, also told the BBC he was a “normal person” and that their family, originally from Darfur, were in a “state of shock”.
Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism head Neil Basu said the force is treating it as a terrorist incident because of its apparently deliberate nature, the method used and the “iconic” location.
Detectives were given further time to quiz Khater on Wednesday after the crash at just before 7.40am on Tuesday.
Officers said the car was driven from Birmingham to London late on Monday and spent almost five hours in the Tottenham Court Road area, before driving around Westminster for more than 90 minutes.

Footage aired on BBC News showed the car’s approach towards Parliament, where it crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with cyclists before entering a small road and crashing into a security barrier.
Three people suffered non life-threatening injuries in what multiple witnesses described as a “deliberate” act.
The Met Police said officers are continuing to search a property in Birmingham, while they have not found any weapons.

Occasionally it's also been proposed to re-randomize all the gear. We didn't have best in slot lists back then. People weren't starting out as a fresh level 1 character with a complete list of which dungeons to run at 60 in order to gear as quickly and efficiently as possible. Now, all that data is available. If gear were re-randomized then all of those lists would become useless and thing would be close to how they were. Which is a more important part of the "vanilla experience?" the fact that item X from boss Y has exactly Z stats on it, or the voyage of discovery? Personally I think that voyage is way more important. Do you remember how many points of which stat on the ring or whatever that Darkmaster Gandling drops? I don't. Would it kill your experience if the BiS for every class were in a different dungeon so people had to actually play to figure it out rather than simply consult a spreadsheet? I don't think it would. For that matter, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to handle it intelligently so that the better gear is in later dungeons. I remember there because some weird cases where level 40ish gear was better than anything that dropped in level 60 dungeons.
This is the most advanced tip that will only suit the smart players – those willing to spend some time in the auction house. In order to start with the speculations, you’ll need some initial funds and some basic knowledge about the prices on your server, so this tip might not be suitable for many. Back in the day, in order to sell stuff quickly, people used to sell various stuff cheaper than the average price standard on the market and your job is to find those deals and quickly buy them out before anyone else does. This is where the real gold making comes from!
WoW: Classic is scheduled for August 27 (technically August 26 if you're in the Americas). The soonest that you can play it is starting in May, during Blizzard's scheduled stress tests. To opt-in you must have an active subscription on your Battle.net account. If you do, go to Account Management and select the Wow Classic beta. Keep in mind, there will be level caps during the test. The schedule is as follows:
He wasn't leveling his first aid that much because he was trying to loot as little as possible to save time. By the time he was 20 he only had linen bandages which would barely heal his HP pool. Right at the end of the stream he bought some linen and learned how to make wool bandages, so let's see if he starts tapping and using them. But he also did not learn drain life for some reason, isn't that the best option to restore health?
This is the first faction exclusive class available only for the Alliance players. Paladins in World of Warcraft: Classic end-game were considered as one of the best single target healers around. However, other Paladin specs were not that popular. While Protection Paladins found their spot with tanking groups of mobs across the dungeons, Retribution Paladins weren’t very popular in the end-game. However, Paladins were amazing levelers and World PvP participants due to their amazing utility skills and ‘oh shit’ buttons such as Lay on Hands or Bubble.
To fill our pool of beta and stress test participants, we’ll be choosing dedicated players who meet select criteria from both the WoW Classic beta opt-in and the standard Warcraft beta opt-in. Participants will also need to have an active subscription or active game time on their Battle.net Account. While opting-in to the beta is the primary way to make sure you’re in the running to join the test it doesn’t guarantee an invitation to the closed beta test. We may also consider additional factors such as how long a player has been subscribed to the game so that we have the right mix of players to ensure great feedback toward making WoW Classic the very best experience for the community.
The Horde levels 50-60 guide has been rewritten and revamped. My 1-60 Horde leveling guide is now completely updated for the 1.12 Drums of War patch. As you can see it is about 15% larger than the 40-50 guide (single largest guide page yet). There is also a lot of route changes. I moved the entire Silithus section from level 55 to level 58, which allowed me to include a lot more quests for that zone. There is also a lot of other improvement to the route, including adding a lot more quests into the guide, mostly from Moonglade, Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands. This will make the final level 59 grind much shorter.
I consider myself a purist in that I would prefer classic to be released as close as possible to the original. Where that is on the spectrum of patch content will be up to blizz. I'm also not vane enough to believe that any single state of the game is the "Ideal" location we should be aiming for. There is common ground that we can agree on, and I would welcome more than a few changes as long as they are made in the spirit of keeping classic on the vanilla rails.
This was a good start, but there were issues with how the developers used to handle updates to the database data. Unlike the source code, for which Blizzard had archives for multiple branches of the game that could be worked on and developed as separate pieces, early database data was overwritten with each commensurate update. Thankfully, that problem was fixed very quickly after launch, and when we looked, we found data going back to version 1.12—and even earlier.
Beginning May 15, select WoW players will be invited to participate in a small-scale, focused closed beta test. Players will also get a chance to help put our servers and technology through their paces in a series of stress tests running from May through July—you can opt in now through Account Management and select the WoW Classic beta. Subsequent stress tests will extend the opportunity to even more players. Level caps will also be in place to ensure we’re emphasizing the “stress” in “stress test”
Gold in World of Warcraft: Classic can be earned with a bit of luck too. By killing and looting mobs you might find some truly rare items. Some of them might be usable by you but others might not. Don’t just sell that piece of rare equipment to the nearest vendor as it can earn you quite a bit in the auction house. Especially if it’s an item for a level 50+ character.
Nov 15 Classic was great, BC was better. IMO, BC hit the sweet spot in terms of content and gaming for WoW. It basically kept the core gameplay of Classic, but streamlined it for a better experience. Questing wasn't much different (still needed groups for hard quests), dungeons were still challenging (no LFD, heroics could be very difficult), and the raids were plentiful and required less people (25 and 10) Classes were much more balanced, specs were vastly improved (druids and paladins could finally tank and DPS as good as they could heal) In PVP, arenas are one thing I don't know if they should have ever added TBH. Some people might complain about the introduction of flying mounts, but I think it fit the expansion well. Also, Shattrath City was a great city hub! I enjoyed spending time there. Overall, I think it was the best WoW has ever been.Rhamus13 Nov 15

Adopting a Modern Converged Network In-House or with an IaaS Provider
Last Update: Aug 15, 2012 | 10:44
Originating Author: Stuart Miniman
2 A Converged Network
3 Modern Network Architecture
4 The Opportunity of Low Latency Service Providers
On August 7, 2012, the Wikibon community gathered to discuss network scalability from the perspective of a high-growth service provider. Luke Norris, CEO of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider Peak Colo, shared how the adoption of a converged network helps his company cope with 300% annual traffic growth.
A Converged Network
Peak Colo is on its fifth generation of infrastructure; over the last year, it has moved from a heterogeneous network environment that was made up of 1Gb Ethernet switches from multiple vendors and Fibre Channel (FC) to a single network supplier (Brocade) with 10Gb Ethernet. Peak Colo has eliminated its FC environment completely and rather than moving to the incremental change of FCoE, it has moved to an environment that is 90% NFS and 10% iSCSI. Luke stated that NFS fits well with the VMware environment (Peak Colo is a VMware Premier Solutions Provider) that it runs on NetApp storage.
Peak Colo claims that it does not have the infrastructure silos that have slowed enterprise adoption of converged environments. The company has requirements of resiliency and scale, which the active-active 10Gb Ethernet environment delivers. Peak Colo found that Brocade delivered the enterprise FC feature set in the VDX Ethernet Fabric. IT is focused on the application requirements, rather than silos. The typical three-to-five year infrastructure refresh puts applications in sub-optimal environments; IaaS providers offer a way to consistently stay on a more modern architecture.
Modern Network Architecture
The upgrade of the networking for Peak Colo was about much more than an increase in bandwidth. In the past, upgrades or additions/removals of switches was a complicated and labor-intensive task; with the deployment of a fabric-based solution, these tasks became much simpler to perform. With Brocade’s subscription service, Peak Colo gained granular control of costs down to the port level, not just the switch or card. Luke spoke highly of how the elimination of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in favor of a TRILL-based solution increased the utility and agility of the network (see the integration action article for more detail). The deployment of Brocade VDX delivered a 50%-60% reduction in networking cost for Peak Colo, and these savings have been passed on to customers. The network provides segmentation, allowing the management of a unique SAN for each customer; this is done even easier on Ethernet than FC. The convergence to a single, more efficient network has led to denser and more power-efficient data centers. Peak Colo puts between 9-18kW of power in a single rack, which can include 240 compute nodes, and up to four 60-port switches. In addition to lower costs and agile deployments, Peak Colo is also able to adopt new generations of technology and new features rapidly due to the technology and financial services received from Brocade’s offerings.
The Opportunity of Low Latency Service Providers
While early adopters of IaaS tended to be small to mid-sized companies deploying test and development environments, over the last two years larger companies with an increasingly diverse application portfolio are looking to IaaS and cloud. Peak Colo delivers exclusively through VARs who sell to CIOs and CFOs who are looking for the agility and economics that IaaS can offer. Peak Colo has discrete cloud nodes in major geographies, allowing it to decrease service delivery latencies. In addition, flash technologies are critical for delivering fast response times. Peak Colo’s Intel white box compute offerings all have SSD and for applications that require extra performance also utilize Fusion-io cards. The NetApp storage arrays are deployed with flash cache, and the new flash pools (delivered in OnTAP 8.1.1) are being tested. From an application standpoint, Peak Colo sees a lot of Web-centric workloads, an increasing number of Tier 1 applications and is starting to see users requesting IaaS to support Big Data.
Action Item: Virtualization requires that CIOs rethink overall architectures. Fabric architectures are designed to provide agility and flexibility to the networking team while providing better economics for both acquisition and operations. IT organizations that can overcome thinking in silos will be more suited to maintain a competitive advantage and have infrastructure that can support modern applications. Companies should also use the transition of networking as an opportunity to evaluate applications that may be suited for moving to IaaS.

What’s up in the land of Troy??
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Sophomore forward Ify Ibekwe tallied a career-high 27 points to lead an impressive offensive effort as Arizona posted a 74-61 win over host USC, Sunday afternoon in Pac-10 play at the Galen Center.
Two days ago, Arizona shot a season-low 22 percent from the field and tallied just 39 points in a 19-point loss to UCLA. Fast forward a little less than 72 hours and the Wildcats turned those numbers completely around.
Arizona scorched the nets for a season-best .605 shooting percentage, connecting on 26-of-43 field goals. The Wildcats also tallied their second highest point total of the season and most since recording 71 against the Trojans at McKale Center exactly one month ago.
The shooting numbers were in stark contrast to a pair of other columns on the stat sheet. The Wildcats were outrebounded, 43-33, and allowed a staggering 30 boards on the offensive end to the Trojans. Arizona also committed 28 turnovers that led to 27 USC points.
Poor shooting by USC turned the tables for the Wildcats as the Trojans were a woeful 24-of-82 (.293) from the field and 9-of-37 (.243) from three-point range. The Trojans also committed 21 turnovers and the Wildcats were efficient in creating 24 points off of those miscues.
A 5-for-5 start by Ify Ibekwe highlighted a 12-for-14 (.857) opening 15 minutes of play as the Wildcats built a 26-19 lead. Despite committing eight turnovers during that stretch, the Wildcats forced 11 giveaways and limited USC to a 7-for-24 (.292) clip.
The Wildcats used a 10-0 run to build a 30-19 lead over a 3:44 stretch. Ibekwe connected on the first two buckets, then added the final two points of the stretch while USC committed six turnovers and missed seven-straight shots before a jumper by Ashley Corral at the 2:35 mark broke the run.
Any momentum the Wildcats carried with their 32-26 halftime lead was gone within the opening 3:04 of the second half. Arizona committed four early turnovers, made just 1-of-3 shots and allowed USC to two more offensive rebounds to produce a 9-2 start and a 35-34 lead for the Trojans.
A tongue-lashing from head coach Niya Butts woke the Wildcats up and produced a quick response. Courtney Clements drilled a three-ball in the corner, then Ibekwe produced a steal and a conventional three-point play to regain a 40-35 cushion.
A jumper by Nadia Parker at the 14:38 mark drew the Trojans within a bucket at 43-41, but the Wildcats seized control of the game to build a lead they would not relinquish. Amina Njonkou drove the lane for a scooping lay-up that sparked a game-clinching 11-0 scoring run over the next 4:52. Ashley Frazier finished off the run with a transition lay-up as the Wildcats eventually stretched the lead to as much as 18 and never let the lead slip below double digits.
Ibekwe hit 10-of-14 field goal attempts and all seven of her free throws while also pulling down eight rebounds and grabbing three steals. Frazier, Clements and Njonkou each had 12 points while Faihza Hill had nine points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals.
Heather Oliver tallied 15 points to lead USC (12-11, 6-6), but they all came down the stretch after the Cats had put the game away. Brynn Cameron tallied 13 points while Nadia Parker had 9 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Arizona (10-14, 3-10) returns home for a three-game homestand, starting on Saturday, February 21 against in-state rival Arizona State with tip-off scheduled for 2 p.m.
http://www.arizonaathletics.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/021509aaa.html
Though I’m happy for Arizona, I’m shocked that USC let another one slip through its fingers. They are now 12-11 and 6-6 in the Pac-10.
Supporters of Coach Mark Trakh will point to the number of injuries team members have sustained over the last several years as to why the Trojans always seem to underachieve. Mark Trakh critics will point to the other NCAA teams (Cal, Tennessee, etc) which see significant player injuries but still keep rolling on to wins.
Is it bad player rotation by the coach into the game? Is it mental collapses on the court? What is it?? And what should be done about it??
In other shocks, North Carolina State beat #15 Virginia on this final day of breast cancer awareness weekend; I suppose that was fitting.
Unranked LSU beat #11 Florida, and Maryland whooped Rutgers, 67-47 (the Scarlet Knights is another case where I wonder what is going on).

Mark Trakh has supporters. Probably not many left, at this point. I know my SC buds want him gone….. U of A just seemed to be playing with more heart and more intensity. They wanted to win, especially after that poor showing against UCLA. I think Marks days are numbered at SC.
Sue Favor February 17, 2009 at 1:15 am
He does have supporters, and he’s very charismatic. I don’t know – I’m not that close to the team or know the situation. But I actually doubt USC will get rid of him after this year, even with all the losing. He’s good at recruiting, and SC is afraid to give people the boot.

The Awakening of Russell Henderson: Ed Lehner
When Chicago investment-banker Russell Henderson—newly divorced and suffering from depression—makes a spur-of-the-moment decision to go on a camping trip to explore the Western United States, he steps outside his usual safe mode of operation and opens up a wealth of new, and scary, possibilities.
Somewhere in Iowa, he picks up a woman hitchhiker, who challenges everything in which he believes. This sets off a chain of events that involve an American Indian sweat lodge, a Tibetan Buddhist Rinpoche, and a road trip through stunning countryside. His relationship with the woman becomes more complex, and deep self-reflection eventually leads him to step outside the confines of his upbringing and discover who he truly is.
Part road trip, part romance, and fully visionary, this is a delightful story that both inspires and entertains.

“The protagonist, Russell, enters the story as a self-centered, left brained, irritating alpha male. When his wife walks out, he is deeply shaken and embarks on a journey of self discovery, traveling westward across the US. Almost immediately he picks up hitchhiker who rocks his world. He is rapidly introduced to new cultures, new ways of thinking, and new ways of behaving. He discovers within himself a new generosity and depth of honesty. His love of music reemerges and blossoms. A thoroughly fun read with philosophical nuances.” Rini Twait
“A masterful dialogue between two opposite souls that found their way to togetherness. Lehner has written a dance on awakening we can all relate to, an unfolding song of renewal from adagio to andantino.” Linda Hinde
“The Awakening of Russell Henderson by Ed Lehner is a sedately-paced story of one man’s journey of discovery, not just of a broader and more interesting America than he knew existed, but of himself. The author slips interesting tidbits of history and geography in a compelling story that keeps its main focus on the principal character and his evolution. Despite the sedate, almost leisurely pace of the story, there is nothing boring or mundane about it. Definitely a book to add to your library.” Charles Ray
Ed Lehner, a retired professor of graphic design from Iowa State University, has written poetry over forty years and recently began writing short stories. The Awakening of Russell Henderson is his second novel. He lives with his wife, Julie, and Emma the cat, in Durango Colorado. He can be reached at www.elehnerauthorsite.com

New Adele music unveiled via teaser advert?
Adele has apparently given fans a teaser of her long-awaited new album in an advert which aired during The X Factor UK last night. While nothing has been confirmed, the 30-second clip featured a voice that certainly sounded like the 27-year-old London singer, with the lyrics appearing against a black background. The lyrics in question: [...]

Shadow Fight 2 Fighting Game
As far as fighting games go, nothing can beat the all ruling Tekken, but there is one game, which is just as good as Tekken was in its hay day. The game that i will be writing about is called Shadow Fight 2.
What Is The Story Of The Character in Shadow Fight 2?
In Shadow Fight 2 the character was once an invincible warrior, travelling the land searching for a worthy warrior. On his travels he finds a portal which he opens and releases demons out into the world. In the process the character is stripped of his human body and is left with a shadow of a body, hence the name Shadow Fight. The character now has to fight the demons that he has freed.
What Are The Features Of The Game?
The player has to build up his character and make him strong and worthy enough to fight against the demons and their cronies. The player can also purchase better clothing, equipment, spells (magic), head gear, learn new moves, and much much more.
Furthermore, the player can earn money by either taking part in tournaments which pay more, but the opponents are stronger and more well trained, while the other way is to fight for survival where the player fights one round after the other against different opponents until he dies.
The audio quality of the game is superb, with correctly timed sound effects and the music with Chinese and Japanese origins.
The graphics have been well made and are in 2D as the game is essentially a 2D game.
The game play is quite good, though on some Android smart phones/tables you may have to set the settings of the graphics level to low or the game will be slow to respond. I had to do this, and then the game played smoothly, while a friend of mine plays with high settings and he does not face any sluggish performance.
Shadow Fight 2 employs the time out mechanism where after a number of fights you have to wait for your energy to regenerate. You can skip this by paying gems.
The store in the game depends on what level you are and as you progress in the game are new items made available for purchase.
My Recomendations
Like all things this game can too be improved. On the game play side this game has everything down to an art form, and i find it to be perfect. The development team can add more to the story, maybe add some cut scenes which tell about the history of the user. To me if i am playing a game i want a good story line, or i will get bored. If a game does not have a strong story line then the game play has to be exceptionally well in order to keep the player keep playing.
Even though there is a story line, but it is not visited as much as it should be. Like said earlier maybe the characters history and past can be told other than the cut scene shown in the opening of the game. I for one would like to see the character develop emotionally as well, even though all that is left of him is his shadow, but then as the shadow is learning to get stronger, we should be able to relate with him as well. Why is the shadow even trying to fight against the demons. Why does he not just leave them be? Does the shadow think that he will get back his human body once he defeats the demons? We can only find these out by playing the game which i highly recommend.

Bird Ninja – Jungle Fever Flying Bird Game
I like playing games and when i find an interesting game i tend to spend some time playing it. Usually in a game i look for a good story if it has one, good game play and there must be that x factor which makes me come back to the game again and again.
We all heard of the famous game Flappy Bird flying bird game which earned the developer of the game a lot of hate by the players because the game was really difficult, but it really did well as well as i believe that game hit a personal chord of the players that how dare the game not let them win. This ego damaging aspect is quite interesting to see in games. I had that game installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but unfortunately the phone died on me and also the developer pulled the game off Google Play Store. I went looking for a game similar to Flappy Bird and found a game by the name of Bird Ninja -Jungle Fever flying bird game.
The game play is not as difficult as Flappy Bird, but it still demands the player’s full concentration as you have to take split second decisions to prevent the bird from crashing into oncoming objects such as planes, and other birds.
Each level has a certain objective which the player has to achieve in order to complete the level. In this game it is collecting coins. I have not been able to find any other use case in this game where the coins are being used. I recommend that the developer incorporate a store which allows the player to buy upgrades which gives the bird special powers.
I also noticed that in this game there is no time out feature where in a game that i regularly play and have also reviewed Two Dots in which you have a maximum of 5 lives and each life takes a set time to regenerate, so if you loose all of your lives then you have to wait for a minimum time as set by the game before you can actually play it.
Psychology also helps us understand that giving the player breaks actually helps keep the game interesting and brings the player back for more, while games in which the player plays for a long time without any breaks then eventually the player will get burned out and will get bored of the game.
I also suggest that the developer weave a story into the game, which can further make a game interesting.
The graphics of the playing level are attractive and look well made. The animation is smooth and i did not find any jerks in animation which spoil the experience. However, the graphics for the menu screen and the pause menu can be further improved as at the moment they look too bland and dead. Maybe if the developer adds some animation on the menu screen it will look good.
To conclude, i like the game and would recommend other to play, and this game can definitely get better and more interesting if the developer follows our advice given above.

Bird Ninja for Android Game Review
Two Dots Android Puzzle Game
Just recently i have regularly started to download new games and play them on my Android Kit Kat Huawei Ascend P7 to pass time, and also to find new apps to review.
Puzzle games have taken a fancy to me, and i found the game Two Dots by the company Playdots, Inc which made the all famous Dots puzzle game. This game is quite similar to other dots removal game such as Candy Crush, Shape It! where the user has to match patterns which will remove the dots from the grid.
Two Dots is different in its own way from the above mentioned games. Firstly when the game is first opened, the player is welcomed by soft yet attractive music, and a simple Play button. Upon pressing this button the game map is shown where there are a total of 135 levels where the user has to clear each level.
Even though there is no story line, but the way the map has been made that the player has to make his way through the world, first going through a cabin, and then into the under water world , and then onto the land, through the yeti, woods, and out and beyond.
The player has a maximum of five lives and after loosing each life the user can either buy a life by using money or wait out a certain time out. On each level there are certain objectives. I am on level 35 and have to find and kill eight anchors, thirty dots each of purple, blue, red and green.
Two Dots is so addictive that i cleared 34 levels in two days. There are also Daily Quests which after completing gives the player power ups which he can use in the levels such as coloring all of the dots with the same color or placing bombs, which destroy a certain number of neighboring dots.
The best thing that i like about this game is that there is no time limit (have not found a time limit yet), and the player has to meet the objectives in a certain number of moves. Now the player has to put on his thinking cap and visualize in advance of what each step will do, something like in chess and chequers. This lack of time limit gives one ample time to think of the moves that he is to make.
I highly recommend this game to all, though do make sure that you do not spend too much time on it so that your other work starts to be effected.
Two Dots Android Game Review
Horror Escape Hidden Object Game for Android
This post originally appeared on the blog Mustafa Neguib and has been reprinted here with permission.
What Is This Game About?
I was checking out my friend’s Android smart phone, looking for any good apps or games that he has installed so that i could install on my smart phone.
I came across this hidden object game by the name of Horror Escape where you have to find objects which have been hidden by an evil scientist. There are many other apps which follow the same style of hiding clues and then the user has to find them, but i found this game intriguing as it has a back story, and the ambiance of the game suites it quite well.
What Is A Hidden Object Game?
This type of games are in which you have to give an effort to find objects which are hidden from you. You have to act as if you are a detective and have to find clues in order to find the objects. Usually these games contain objective where on hidden object is usually a clue and is used to solve another clue in the game.
How Do You Play This Game?
From what i have found so far, is that there is an evil guy who has locked the character(you) in a building, and he has left clues for you to find in order to escape. When you find one clue it leads to the next clue. I like detective and hidden object games, where i have to solve a case, and i love Sherlock Holmes, one of the best detectives that i have read about (i am reading the stories of Sherlock Holmes at the moment).
This game is constructed in such a way that there are levels, where each level is a room. There are a total of 15 levels in this game. One requires patience and needs to harness his collective powers of thinking in order to find the clues and eventually escape from the building.
I myself am at level 6 and i am stuck at it. What i am really impressed is the way the clues are hidden in each level. One has to actually look for them, by pressing on everything hoping that some clue pops up. There is no animation, but the graphics are professional and realistic, which further helps bring the detective in you out to help your character to escape.
If finding objects hidden from plain sight fancy you, then I highly recommend this game, but this is a good time kill for others as well.

CITES revisited
From: "Jay Vannini" interbnk at terra.com.gt> on 2001.07.27 at 17:42:07(7167)
Greetings, fellow aroid-amig@s:
Perhaps because I reside in a country where differences of opinion are
expressed via Molotov cocktails and automatic weapons' fire, I really do
relish a civil debate. Thus far, this exchange seems to be just this, in
spite of unambiguous differences of opinion on the forum regarding Jos?
Portillo's alleged actions.
Steve Marak has spoken a mouthful when he says that no-one's
opinion/position ever seems to change during these arguments on the internet
forums; he is quite correct, probably because it is an incredibly complex
issue that sparks strong emotions from wild-eyed plant collectors and less
fanatical gardeners alike. Having worked around tropical flora and fauna
quite a bit, I have come to the conclusion that there are a number of groups
that inspire the most incredible acquisitive lust from some of the human
populace (including me). They are cacti & succulents, cycads, orchids,
psittacine birds, raptors utilized in falconry, and reptiles & amphibia. All
are well-represented in the CITES appendices, most generate huge commercial
trade figures, and all generate a considerable amount of acrimony when their
exploitation and protection is discussed. Having seen both sides of the
trade of all of the above, I would have to refute the statement made here
that persons genuinely interested in conservation would NEVER knowingly
violate the laws designed to protect wild plants and animals. No surprise -
many professionals can see shades of gray, when it is convenient to do so
for their own ends.
As for us sauntering into less-developed countries and cleaning out cultural
patrimony with a song on our lips - come on, read the papers or watch the
news, brother - that's EXACTLY what is done, and the debate about this has
been going on for at least 200 years. Almost every one of the western
world's major museums has this kind of ethical/legal thorn in its side
relating to "filched" Greco-roman, precolombian, Egyptian or Khmer artifacts
(e.g. the Elgin Marbles and the British Museum) and the number of returns to
countries of origin are, to put it mildly, not breathtaking.
Reggie Whitehead prefaced his comments about the tragic destruction of
ancient forest in Borneo with a clear and eloquently expressed example of
the existence of bad laws that were widely applauded by Joe Public in their
heyday. CITES, while not a bad law, continues to be misunderstood by both
the general populace and bureaucrats. It is a trade monitoring treaty, not a
wildlands conservation tool, nor a "red" list where species NOT threatened
by commercial trade, but rather by habitat loss, belong. Born as the
Washington Convention, I have heard it referred to as the love child of
well-meaning wildlife preservationists and the worst elements of the
European reptile hide trade. While I definitely agree that CITES has its
merits, one has to question its efficacy as a trade reduction mechanism,
since the U.S. has recently had to enact ADDITIONAL legislation specifically
designed to prohibit import of tiger and rhino "spare parts", already
covered under CITES (both groups are conspicuous on App. I). The USFWS is
the government body charged with overseeing the implementation of CITES
regulations in the U.S. Their law enforcement division by and large does
some incredibly good work, but like any police force, has its share of
zealots and creeps. As long as the general populace believes that wild plant
and animal collectors are all hybrids of Hitler and Jabba the Hut,
prosecutors will feel inspired to persecute them, little and big guy alike.
It is, after all, much easier to point the finger at wildlife/plant
smugglers as being the only culprits leading organisms down the path to
extinction than at ourselves as the principal consumers of tropical products
harvested from, or grown on, deforested landscapes.
On another front, CITES has many quirks, one of which is the "look-alike"
provision, which basically provides blanket protection to non-threatened
organisms that are visually similar to the "threatened" target. This
includes some common cycads, many abundant orchids, roadside weed Nepenthes
species, etc. This really does seem silly. Likewise, the auctioning of
seized wildlife products by the USFWS once they have served their
evidentiary role is simple bloody hypocrisy. Like Kenya has done with its
seized poached ivory stocks - torch this stuff if it's a *point* that you
want to make, rather than a *buck*.
I admit that I feel genuine sympathy for anyone who gets busted for bending
the rules when it relates to this particular issue. Grimace at this ethical
lapse if you must. At the same time, I understand that law enforcement has a
job to do, and that society has decided that these are the rules we are
supposed to play by. If it is true that Portillo admitted on tape to
"fudging" the origin of a protected plant, I suspect that he's in a heap of
trouble, if not in the U.S., certainly in Ecuador, where his local authority
is going to end up with egg on its face. Ecuagenera is, as I pointed out in
a previous post, a well-known orchid exporter, and he is going to have a
hard time pleading ignorance of the rules of the game. Bummer - one should
always remember the 11th Commandment (just kidding, Big Brother).
Who is on the "right" side of the "gray market poaching" debate remains to
be seen. I try to remain neutral, but I do suspect that history will show us
to have been sanctimonious twits who sat around and earnestly debated the
gender of angels against a backdrop of the world's natural patrimony going
up in smoke.
Peace -

What BAC does NOT fund
To all BAC grantees, applicants, friends and partners:
Following the closure of ArtAngle, the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) has assumed the implementation and the direct management of the Balkan Arts and Culture Fund (BAC), jointly funded by ECF and Swiss Development Agency (SDC).
Given a reduction in resources available to the BAC, in the near future BAC is only in a position to support the Collaboration projects that were contracted before the closure of ArtAngle. There will be no future calls for the BAC. Unfortunately, the announced calls for applications, which have been temporarily suspended, cannot be realised. This applies to the calls for applications for the PROPs projects, as well as the announced call for the next round of Collaboration projects.
ECF will manage the ongoing Collaboration projects and will be engaging with these projects until their successful completion by the end of 2017. We will share information about these projects on ECF’s website.
In the long term, ECF will continue to work with our network and donors in the region to build on our many years of investment and work in the Western Balkans.
Please note that all of ECF’s grant programmes (like STEP Beyond, Tandem, Idea Camp etc.) are open to partners across wider Europe. We hope that you may be able to benefit from these grants in future.
For more information about ECF’s calls, please visit culturalfoundation.eu
Retraction of the pre-announcement of the BAC 2016 Call for Collaboration Projects
The 2016 Call for Collaboration Projects, which was pre-announced last week, has been postponed, due to BAC management changes.
We’ll do our utmost to give you additional information after 16th of May.
We are very sorry for the potential inconveniences this delay may cause you.

[SUSPENDED] 2016 Call for Submission of Proposals for Production Projects – PROPs in Albania and Kosovo
BAC is aimed towards fostering inclusive, democratic, and prosperous societies in the Western Balkans by strengthening the cultural sector, and encouraging regional collaboration and integration. In this context, BAC aims to advance the independent cultural scene in the region by supporting authentic cultural production, encouraging participation, and raising capacities of cultural actors.
Production projects (PROPs) are short-term and/or one-off events which increase the cultural offer and strengthen critical thinking, constructive dialogue and cultural exchange. PROPs are innovative, original and socially relevant, intended with the purpose of increasing artistic/activist creation, mobility of ideas, and exchanges/networking between artists and communities.
This instrument especially targets emerging artists with innovative initiatives. PROPs can be developed in any contemporary art field and can take various forms (e.g. exhibitions, performances, round tables, street actions or campaigns, festivals, concerts, publications, etc.).
Artists, Activists, Formal and Informal Groups and Independent Cultural Organisations, Networks, Foundations and/or Associations from Albania and Kosovo are invited to submit ideas for Production Projects – PROPs
PROPs can be of local, national and regional nature. A PROP project must be implemented by applicant from any of the eligible countries in the country of the applicant's origin, and may also include some events in other countries of the region or the wider Europe.
Information on general and specific conditions, criteria and processes is available in the PROPs Guidelines. The Guidelines as well as the application form can be downloaded from the Downloads page on the BAC website. Address all questions regarding the call to bac@artanglebalkans.net
Submission: duly completed project idea form should be submitted through our website at the PROPs Submission page, at least three months before the planned beginning of the project. Submissions in incorrect form, late or incomplete, and any additional material will not be considered.
Selection: In 2016 the selection will be made on monthly basis or until the planned annual budget for PROPs is allocated in total.
Grant amount and duration: Maximum grant amount available per project is 5’000 Euros. Envisaged project duration is up to 6 months.
Launch of New Grant Line for Small Projects in Albania and Kosovo
Balkans Arts and Culture Fund (BAC) is introducing a new grant-line for Production Projects (PROPs). Individual artists and cultural organizations from Albania and Kosovo are eligible to apply for a grant. The call with application-templates will be published here on the fund website on Monday, December 28, 2015.

A Hall of Mirrors
by Pireeni Sundaralingam
Countries exist, not just as geopolitical entities on our planet, or colored areas on our maps, but as narratives and dreams. They are works of imagination and for those living in the diaspora, there is nothing so all-encompassing as the struggle for the form that such a country may take within one’s imagination. It is as if we are ardent mourners at a funeral, competing over conflicting histories of the dearly departed.
It is impossible to remain innocent. As we carom through our days, trying to hold onto one sane and sanctified version of events, we cannot help but meet others who are trying, with equal tenacity, to hold onto their own picture of history. We struggle, amid the rubble of time and memory, to find our own unique relics.
Tolstoy suggested that “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Perhaps we might argue that as discord creeps into our memories of a country, it makes each memory distinct in its own particular way. Civil war not only annihilates lives and societies, it destroys any semblance of a unified group narrative. It magnifies the social fractures in a society, deepening the distinction between genders, intensifying the cracks between different social classes, until the foundation of each experience is frost-shattered in its own unique way. And time and the distance of diaspora only serve to amplify such differences. Thus the memory of an exile follows its own uncalibrated trajectory, isolated and unchecked, each narrative creating its own ellipses in a carnival house of distorting mirrors.
As a writer struggling to chart the psychological landscape of the Sri Lankan diaspora, I cannot help but be aware of the vastly distinct tectonic plates bumping and grinding against each other in this variegated terrain. Two of the poems in which I explore this territory are enclosed below. The first (Sri Lanka Calling) examines the way in which the tranquility of peacetime notions such as “home” and “comfort’ are effectively exploded by the exigencies of war: a much-loved family house can be recalled as the setting for card-games and birthday parties while, in reality, it has long-since been converted into a center for detention and torture. The past can no longer be considered a safe and deep-rooted entity. It fractures and transmutes. It is not just the past, however, that comes into contention. In the second poem enclosed here (Patrimony), we see two conflicting views of the present. Even as the narrator embraces the liberal values of the West, a second character in the poem seeks to deny the reality of this present in favor of a vision of patriarchal and nationalist fervor. Time and again, these voices give the lie to the assumption that memory, or even history, can remain a stable and unitary construct. The past, it seems, is not just another country but a fictional country at that.
Sri Lanka Calling
— Boston, Massachusetts
In bright light we gather,
plates chiming the lunchtime air.
Ten past noon and the Sunday chicken
floats piecemeal in its Wedgwood bowl,
curried thighs, drumsticks, gravy,
flesh sliding off the tender bone.
I sink bare feet into the carpet’s graze,
feel the pull of teenage joint and muscle,
the growing ache beneath the toes.
We are ten, twelve, and thirteen faces,
gathered around the table’s carousel
while our guest grinds and swallows,
tells news of our house back home: how
the open sluice runs red and swiftly;
how dawn trucks spill their trails
of ankles, elbows; how the flesh
slides so gently off the tender bone.
— Los Angeles
A Buddhist monk sits in my room,
anger rising round him like a cloud of flies.
Slowly, he unwinds the litany
of my flaws: my close-cropped hair,
my ringless hands, Western habits
wrapped around me like a makeshift robe.
Deeper than words, his blood calls to mine,
his voice forming spaces through which
darker memories crawl:
jasmine trees and incense sticks,
army trucks at temple gates
and the cock crowing at dawn.
Yet his eyes hold only present time.
Dry hands buzzing, he reproves me
for leaving the country he left
and is still trying to find.

Belfast Nightlife »
The Slush or Slosh dance
Author Topic: The Slush or Slosh dance (Read 20563 times)
denmagic
I am doing a bit of research for the dance known as 'The Slush'. A dance very similar to today's line dancing. It is mainly known and done by the older generation.
Can anyone out there tell me anything about it. Is it just a Belfast dance? What songs can you do it to? etc.
I do know one of the songs that was popular for this dance was 'rivers of babylon - Boney M'
My mum tells me it was popular many years ago and after extensive googling on the net I am no better informed.
(_8())
..It's a Kind of Magic!
Bogeyman
Re: The Slush
This may have been a slow dance for those that liked to wear hush puppies?
If it was'nt for venetian blinds it would be curtains for everybody!
Hiya Den,
I came across Roger Waters website with Slush Lyrics .. Browse our entire collection of SLUSH SONG LYRICS for free! I regret it also contains the following message ... We're sorry but the artist has decided not to disclose the lyrics for this song.
I'll go back to the drawing board and see what I can find for you. I think it was a popular dance in the sixties but it may have been a decade later.
giannineo
Dundonians dance the "Slosh" at functions.It is the same as the "Slush".I had never heard of it until I went o a wedding'do' in Dundee.
Giannineo - you're a star.
I think it is spelt - Slosh. D'oh! - I feel so [censored] stupid now.
That's why I could find no info. Good news is that I have found some info while searching for slosh.
It is described on a dancing site as a from of line dancing - just as I thought.
Re: The Slush or Slosh dance
Would that have anything to do with the phrase "getting sloshed"?
Den, it is a real fave in Dundee as is line dancing. Someone told me that Line Dancing originated in mining and railroad or lumberjack camps in North America.The guys were supposed to be too embarrassed to dance with each other in the absence of women and stood in a line to dance with themselves....cannot confirm that story .
The old Dundee East of Scotland CO-OP was known as the SOSH. .and at the wedding 'do'; I was at there were a few ex Sosh employees dancing the Slosh.I wasn't long in this area at the time and wondered what on earth I had arrived amongst....still do.I work mostly in Dundee but live elsewhere.
I'm certain there was a dance called The Slush in Belfast .. it followed on from the Hucklebuck (recorded by the Royal Showband in 1965 and a minor hit for Chubby Checker in 1960) and La Yenka (recorded by Dean and the Freshmen in 1965).
I work some nights as a mobile DJ and when I mention the 'slosh' over the mic and play a few tracks I get the floor filled with older women who dance sidewards - just like line dancing. It is fascinating to watch them get on like this.
As a 32 year old, some of the older audiences are surprised I know what this dance is and what tunes to play.
I only know a few track to play and I have became interested in where this dance has came from.
Your points are very interesting and I believe that is the origin. I've read that it is a Scottish thing and since they are our neighbours, that is possibly how it came to here.
Christophers last post is interesting. Gee he's a encylopedia. Could be where I got slush from instead of slosh. Perhaps the local slush is an irish-scots version of the scots slosh.
Everyday on this forum is like a day at school.
"Do the Hucklebuck, do the Hucklebuck,
If you don't know how to do it,
Then you're out of luck,
Shove your baby in,
Twist her all around,
Then you start to moving and a grooving all around,
Wriggle like a snake,
Waddle like a duck,
That's what you do,
When you do THE HUCKLEBUCK".
Follow up disc was "Don't lose, your Hucklebuck Shoes....will be pleased to demonstrate the Hucklebuck with Colette or Stewie on Mageeka's big night out.
I remember reading how the Royal Showband Co. Waterford were second only to the Beatles in the earnings stakes and and ahead of the Rolling Stones.Superb Band, so versatile as were most of the showbands.
Google frequently helps me. I feel the credit should go to Google I rarely use other search engines.
Quote from: giannineo on March 09, 2007, 09:34:37 PM
ahh G remember it well im still quite quick on me feet im looking forward to Ms big night out now
I remember trying to skate to the Hucklebuck in the Kings hall when it had an ice rink in the early 60,s.
Can you do La Yenka also Stewie?."Everybody come and do La Yenka, backwards forwards,one,two three..you can do it, anyone can do it, come and do La Yenka just like me."I have the original vinyl version by two eejits from Spain with the dance moves on the sleeve.
Jeez Bogey , The Hucklebuck on ice, did you get over your rupture or rupchirr like they say in Belshaft?.
teap
Im to young for that G you may just make do with the stewie

BPN Newsletter Issue No 24, December 1998
African Books Collective, the British Council and African book fairs
Mary Jay
Mary Jay is Consultant to African Books Collective, The Jam Factory, 27 Park End Street, Oxford OX1 1HU, England. Tel +44 1865 726686, fax +44 1865 793298, e-mail: mary_jay.abc@dial.pipex.com, http://www.africanbookscollective.com
The British Council, in a new departure, sponsored African Books Collective (ABC) exhibits at the Kampala National Bookweek Festival in November 1997, at The Africa Centre in London in December 1997, and at the first Nairobi International Book Fair in September 1998. This co-operation followed discussions between the British Council and ABC about the role of the organisations in the publishing and book industries in Africa.
ABC's work aims to strengthen autonomous and indigenous African publishing - and of course ABC is founded, owned and governed by autonomous, indigenous African publishers. A persistently weakening factor for African publishers is the traditional dominance of multinational - notably British - publishers in the backbone textbook market.
The British Council's publishing and information sector strategy aims to work in partnership with UK organisations in order to `increase Britain's role in the global information society by promoting the best of British publishing and information services and products, and to help close the north-south information gap'. At the same time, one of the objectives in helping to close the gap is `supporting the development of information and publishing infrastructures in overseas countries'.
Discussions between ABC and the British Council in 1997 centred on how the British Council could in reality support indigenous publishing infrastructures if at the same time it has a remit to create greater market share for UK publishing in overseas markets. In the same year the British Council carried out a major evaluation of its `Information Services Management' work, and was keen to promote better understanding and partnerships. ABC's view was that we should co-operate to ensure that at least British Council programmes in Africa should not work against the interests and needs of indigenous African publishers; and that, if possible, they should work in support of local capacity building. In this spirit the British Council sponsored its first ever books exhibit in Africa of exclusively African-published (ABC) books - not a British book in sight!
Using materials and information on ABC member publishers, ABC itself, APNET, African booksellers, ZIBF and the Noma Award for Publishing in Africa, British Council designers made attractive display panels for the Kampala stand. The exhibit had the merit of showcasing books from many other African countries, always a practical difficulty within Africa.
This exhibit was subsequently mounted at a special event at the Africa Centre in London, hosted by the British Council, and the whole exercise was remounted - showcasing more new African-published books - at the first Nairobi International Book Fair, organised by the Kenya Publishers' Association.
The Kampala event was a national book week which also attracted regional representation, and its focuses were clear: on the national efforts to enhance literacy, availability of books and reading materials, and strengthening the local publishing industry. Nairobi, by contrast, was called an `international' book fair. The nomenclature was more a statement of the aims of the organisers than the reality of representation. With the comparative development of Kenya's publishing industry within Africa it makes clear sense for there to be a Nairobi book fair, and it will easily attract regional representation, as indeed it did. Given that trading as such is not difficult, Nairobi could well be a viable trading place which in time could attract wider than regional interest.
In addition to the pre-eminent place of the Zimbabwe International Book Fair as the African marketplace, there is room for book weeks and fairs to flourish nationally and regionally throughout Africa - the Ghana and Dakar fairs, for example. But ZIBF suffers the disadvantage of Zimbabwe's continuing taxes on imported books, and the difficulties for international publishers of collecting in hard currencies. So there is a vacancy for a venue where actual international trading, concrete sales and business could take place. Organisers of `international' books fairs, as in Ghana and Nairobi, will however need to be clear precisely what their objectives are in using this word.
Aspects of the apparent dichotomy in British Council policy were later discussed at the Bellagio Publishing Network meeting in Copenhagen in December 1998, and one point then made was that the British Council should evaluate its promotion work in Africa against the question `Will this have a negative effect on African publishing?' It was recommended too that the British Council's work with African publishers should concentrate on what the publishers themselves define.
Meantime, let a thousand book events flower!

Hadid's first American project will be in Downtown Miami, the highly-anticipated One Thousand Museum condominium.
One Thousand Museum will be located on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, set between 900 Biscayne Condominium and 10 Museum Park. Developers Gregg Covin (10 Museum Park) and Louis Birdman are the developers.
This 62-story tower offers something that you will not find anywhere else in the city: only half-floor and full-floor condos - no small units of any kind. In fact, this 62-story tower will have only 83 residences, including townhomes and traditional apartments. Each unit owner has three dedicated parking spaces.
Looking at the renderings of One Thousand Museum, you will notice that the tower appears to have an external skeleton. It reminds us of something a little more alien, but is breathtaking, nonetheless. With this external skeleton, however, the building is structured with exterior strength. This means that the apartments will not have beams, structures or other elements that restrict how floors and walls can be laid out. This should prove to allow some very creative floorplans.
Units are being designed fully-finished, including flooring, custom closets and high-end lighting.

Review: The Darkest Surrender
Possessed by the demon of Defeat, Strider cannot lose a challenge without suffering unimaginable pain. For him, nothing stands in the way of victory. Until Kaia, an enchanting Harpy, tempts him to the razor's edge of surrender.Known among her people as The Disappointment, Kaia must bring home the gold in the Harpy Games or die. Strider is a distraction she can't afford because he has an agenda of his own-steal first prize, an ancient godly artifact, before the winner can be named. But as the competition heats up, only one prize will matter-the love neither had thought possible...
Definitely one of the better books in this series. Strider & Kaia were the perfect couple...I mean literally they were written for each other.
Stride who is possessed by the demon Defeat cannot loose a challenge without going through much suffering. And my o' my did Kaia challenge him in this installment of LOTU. I necessarily didn't care for Strider in some of LOTU books I read...thought he was a little cocky & yeah he still is (as he would say...ego check) But you got to know more about him and his feelings towards Kaia.
Kaia, a harpy looking to redeem herself to her people after an incident that involved herself as a child is invited to the Harpy games, along with her sisters and a couple of allies after being banned for centuries. As she fights her way through the games, she must go through her own challenges (namely keeping Strider from distracting her as she competes & finally gaining her mother's love & respect).
I also thought there was a lot going on this book too. I like hearing about the other couples & warriors while I'm reading a book, but I don't want read TOO much about them. I want the story to stay on the main characters and as much as I enjoyed reading this story, I don't think (in my opinion) this book did that enough.
This one gets 4 Black Orchids...
Lata Days...MUAH!

Twitter and its use in Local Government
7:32 Friday, May 25, 2012 Andrew Wallis Twitter
There is a lot of social media platforms out there who all have a varying degree of popularity. YouTube and Facebook are just two of these, and probably the most popular. The real new-boy on the market is Twitter, a micro-blogging site that limits you to 140 characters. This platform has been around since 2006, but it is only in the last few years that Twitter has become really popular, now with over 200 million users.
The reason for this blog topic is a study I came across the other day called An Overview Study of Twitter in UK Local Government. This is an excellent piece of work that was completed in May this year. I am also grateful to the authors for allowing me to use their research on my blog.
While the public are quick to embrace these new platforms, local government is often slow on the uptake, and is often late in embracing new ways to communicate. Much of this is due sometimes ponderous nature of local government, with a policy needed to be written and approved before it is fully implemented. There are some very proactive local authorities, but this is not across the board. However, the real issue is not convincing council officers the bonuses of using social media, but those elected to office.
In the day’s before widespread use of social media in local government, the public only really knew the going’s on at a council by the print-media. Often, information did not get out due to journalist not being able to be everywhere. This was in many parts advantageous to a local authority because information could be controlled, or at least sanitized before its release. It is not like a local authority wanted to keep everything secret (some may argue that), but they know the wrong information, or negative information can be damaging to an authority reputation, including those political groups who are in charge during that term of office.
Twitter has blown that control out of the water, because the pure beauty of Twitter its instantaneous. This is a double-edged sword as five Cornwall Councillors found out back in January 2010 with Twittergate. However, it made Cornwall Council sit-up and take notice of this micro-blogging site. To the council’s credit instead of sticking its head in the sand, or trying to ban (well it did try, until the council realised the folly of trying) it, it has embraced it, and now has just over 5000 ‘followers’.
Cornwall Council is not alone in the use of Twitter, as some 84% of councils (363) have at least one Twitter account, compared with 73% last year. There is 426 local authorities in the UK. 346 of these are in England, 26 in Northern Ireland, 32 in Scotland and 22 are in Wales. Furthermore, just under three-quarters (73%) have at least one Facebook account, compared with 62% a year ago. More information HERE
The use of Twitter differs with person to person. I tend to use twitter two ways. Information, and general communication, or what they used to call ‘back in the day’ as talking to people. In this study, it has found:
“Politicians devote limited attention on the conversational elements of Twitter, they tend to use the medium asymmetrically during and after elections and are also likely to draw an audience with elitist characteristics, e.g., established journalists. Variations in terms of political affiliation and audience seem to be highly contextual from one political system to the other”.
I find this a great shame, as the real beauty of Twitter being accessible to people not just in your area, but on a more global stage. If you just use Twitter to send out repetitive messages, then, you are nothing more than a bot. Using Twitter as a human will get whatever message you want to get out be better understood. Furthermore, the study points out:
“empirical findings show that their use of Twitter rather tends to support self-promotional models and interaction with the audience remains limited. Saebo (2011) found that tweets produced by Norwegian elected representatives lack deliberative characteristics and focus on general information dissemination, discussions with other representatives and publicly agreeing about non-controversial topics. Golbeck et al. (2010) found that members of the USA Congress are mainly using Twitter to promote links to their blogs or articles about themselves instead of attempting to provide the public with new insights about legislative processes”.
Again, I think this is a lesson to all political and local authority users of Twitter, and how we should all strive to be more human and engaging in our use of this micro-blogging site. The same goes for those who use twitter to campaign for a cause. Repeating the same message over and over again tends to make me click the mute, or unfollow option on Twitter. This study has certainly made me think how best to engage with my followers.
The study shows the date when local government authorities embraced twitter. The first authority to ‘go live’ was St Helens Council, which is a metropolitan authority in Merseyside. They did this in 2007. The majority of authorities signed up to Twitter in 2008/09 . Cornwall Council took the plunge in April 2009.
You would think London council’s would feature heavily in the top 15 council’s using Twitter. In fact they do not, with the top-5 followers and tweets list do not have any London authorities . The council with the most followers is Glasgow, with over 21,000. The most prolific tweeting council is Walsall Council who have tweeted over 11,000 times. Cornwall in comparison has tweeted 2,900 times. Either Walsall is just tweeting about everything and anything, or Cornwall Council is not tweeting enough.
As for the contents of the tweet, the analysis for the size of tweets revealed an average of 108 characters per tweet. About 20% of the tweets have 138 characters or more and 9.5% of them are at the maximum allowed size of 140 characters. Only about 28.7% of the tweets did not contain a single link to other content, while about 70.5% contained one link and the rest 0.8% contained between two and five links. Yes five links!
While Cornwall Council is one of the older users of Twitter, I still do not think it is using this platform to its full potential. This is not the fault of officers not interested, but the resources assigned. One of the fears is how the public would see tax-payers money being spent to employ dedicated social media officers. In the past, there have been headlines of ‘council officer paid xxx to use Facebook/twitter/social media. The public is outraged, and councils retreat, wary of attempting this again. I believe the outrage could be minimised if more clarification was given on how important and powerful the use of social media can be in local government. To many people, social media sites are just gimmicks, or only for leisure use. This leads to a misunderstanding of its importance and usefulness.
There is a lot more work to do in trying to convince politician’s that social media is important, and council’s to resource the use of social media properly. After all these politicians are policy and purse-string holders . This will only come about if the public does not have a fit when they hear a council has dedicated social media officers whose main job is this to promote and advance these platforms.
I also feel the Leader of a Council, the CEO and the Directors should be on twitter as the corporate and political face of a council. For Cornwall Council only one Director is actively using twitter, and that is the Chief Fire Officer. Sadly he is now leaving, so we will be back to none. Furthermore, only two Cabinet Members are on twitter out of twelve. This enforces a culture of remoteness of senior council officials.
As for political group leaders at Cornwall Council, only the Liberal Democrats have their leaders on twitter. Maybe the other political leaders should be using twitter too, that way the public will see all sides of the argument. Cornwall Council has 123 Councillors, but only 22 (17%) Councillors have a twitter account. Out of those 22, five are regular users, with a 7 more occasionally using the platform. The rest are, well, idle. I always find it amusing when someone says they are on twitter, but never use it. Having an account is not a twitter user. Though this might all change the closer we get to an election!
Of course it would be unfair not to mention many Councillors use Facebook in their role. But, the very nature of Facebook is its heavily controlled by the user. It is not as ‘open’ as Twitter. At the end of the day, social media is not for everyone, nor should it fully replace the face to face contact a council and its elected official have. Still, like the telephone and e-mail changed the way local authorities engaged with the public, social media has a very important part to play.
Anyway, have a think, and please read the study

I was at a public enquiry meeting all day yesterday and everyone was instructed to turn their phones off. Personally, I only ever put mine on silent. However, that policy clearly does not enhance the use of Twitter.

So, John how are you feeling about another Edinburgh festival looming?
Ambivalent! I’m playing Hamlet, The Dark Room is gearing up for a colossal Fringe after a five month residency in London and its own slot at Udderbelly Festival, taking out the Argus Angel in Brighton, getting named Director’s Choice at Bedford Fringe - and A Nifty History of Evil has been completely re-written since its 2010 appearance… so I’m a mass of nerves/ neuroses/misery/unexpectedly lovely things to put on the poster.
Where are you currently and what were you doing before starting this interview?
I’m in the secure London citadel that I rent from some licensed con artists. Before starting this interview I was learning why a paper towel is not sufficient protection against the heat of the oven tray.
You have previously performed " The Dark Room" and " A Nifty History Of Evil" at Edinburgh. Have the shows changed at all over the years?
The Dark Room is a living, breathing thing, so it changes from show to show. A Nifty History of Evil lay in a cocoon for four years and emerges now as a beautiful butterfly filled entirely with poison.
Is it interesting re-visiting old shows?
Kinda, I don’t feel like I’m doing that, though - I haven’t looked at the original Nifty History since 2010, so the 2014 version should be its own savage entity. It’s interesting to return to an idea a few years later and see what time has done to your perception/ability/ central thrust, though. I have a tattoo now. My thighs aren’t as fat. I’m less of a nihilist than I used to be. On the plus side, believing in something doesn’t dilute your edge, it just means you get to say more interesting things than, “Everything sucks.” Specifically, you get to say exactly why everything sucks - and then go home totally unconcerned about that, mostly because your thighs are great.
Do you need to preview these shows?
Nifty needs previewing. I’ve got to get the bit about the various Kennedy assassinations just right, otherwise it’s just some kind of tragedy.
Can I ask why we have had no new material from you recently?
Well, after writing four new solo shows in two years, I thought it’d be good to focus on just one thing in 2013. Now, however, the usual impulse to do too many things has overtaken me once again, so now I’m Hamlet, Nifty History of Evil, The Dark Room, I write my segment on the TV show Videogame Nation etc etc etc sleep when I’m dead etc.
You perform a lot in Australia & the United Kingdom. What, if any are the main differences in the audiences & venues?
Australian audiences like colour, sound and movement and have less tolerance for chummy chaps spouting endless invitations to beige conversations: “Hello, how are you? What do you do, sir? And you, madam? Uh-huh-uh-huh. Right. Hello, sir. What do you do?” UK crowds have been trained since childhood (panto and sometimes church) to function as one unit. On a good day, that means they follow instructions perfectly. On a bad day, it means they all chant, “Off-off-off!” at the same time. Of course, if you don’t leave, they do run out of options… except for projectiles, but they usually can’t throw too hard, as an absence of Vitamin D has left them weak. WEAK!
Difference with venues?
Not too many. U.K theatres tend to have their seats closer together… though the eccentric venues are worlds apart. I’ve never performed inside a giant purple, inflatable cow in Australia, but then, I’ve never had to stand on a table in a tent in the middle of the desert in the UK.
When we first saw your show you spent a lot of time interacting with the audience. Is this a part of your show that you enjoy?
Yeah. I like people. I’m not really running off a script, so it’s nice to sweep crowds into the stream-of-consciousness. You paid to see me, and I’m glad to see you. Let’s have some fun.
What are your memories (good and bad) of last year's festival?
All the memories of last year were pretty good. Dark Room at Underbelly Cowgate did well, so we’re back there again… the reviews were fabbo… my face was on a couple of rickshaws that went everywhere… the only thing that was bad is we thought the people we were renting the apartment off had left some of their sex toys in plain sight, but it turned out our imaginations were busy and our knowledge of exercise equipment pretty limited.
When did you first come to Edinburgh and why?
I turned up in 2010 after a quick visit in 2009. I came to do exactly what I wanted to do in a place where I could do that. It turns out you can pretty much do anything you want pretty much anywhere you want, anytime - the world respects money and madness that bathes - but so, help me, if you want to experience real funsies, go do your favourite things in Edinburgh.
What did you expect? I expected nothing. I got plenty!
What is the best thing about the Edinburgh festival? Best thing? Your pals. Adventure. Crowd-surfing as follows wordplay.
What is the worst thing? Oh, the sad desperation of other performers.
What is your top tip for surviving this month of mayhem? Avoid the sad desperation of other performers.
Who is your favourite Edinburgh performer (s)?
Big fan of Brendon Burns, Bob Slayer, Colt Cabana, Lisa-Skye, SET LIST, The Mechanisms, Glenn Wool.
If you could change one thing about Edinburgh what would it be? More pakora.

Electoral Commission 'misinterpreted' Vote Leave expenses, court rules
Electoral Commission ‘misinterpreted’ Vote Leave expenses, court rules
Vote Leave spending investigation
Media captionLord Adonis: “On the face of it, it seems to have been extremely incompetent.”
The Electoral Commission misinterpreted EU referendum spending laws allowing Vote Leave to break them, the High Court has ruled.
Vote Leave paid £625,000 to clear bills allegedly run up by university student Darren Grimes.
The watchdog initially said it had no grounds to suspect this was a scheme to get round spending limits.
It later changed its mind and fined Vote Leave and Mr Grimes – and also referred him to the police.
The High Court agreed with the Electoral Commission finding in July that Vote Leave had broken the law, but said the watchdog had misinterpreted the rules, in the run-up to the June 2016 referendum, in advice it gave to the Leave campaign.
Brexit campaigner Grimes to challenge fine
Vote Leave campaign broke electoral law
Vote Leave’s former chief executive Matthew Elliott said that if the Electoral Commission did not launch an appeal against the ruling it would be admitting it had given incorrect advice and should drop its fines.
Anti-Brexit campaigner and Labour peer Lord Adonis said: “It sounds to me as if the Electoral Commission has not been doing its job properly. On the face of it, it seems to have been extremely incompetent.”
He told the BBC’s Politics Live that if there was another EU referendum, which he wants to see, “we need a rather more fit and proper body to be in charge of it”.
In his judgement, Lord Justice Leggatt said the Electoral Commission had “misinterpreted the definition of ‘referendum expenses'” as defined by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendum Act.
He added: “The source of its error is a mistaken assumption that an individual or body which makes a donation to a permitted participant cannot thereby incur referendum expenses.
Darren Grimes ran the BeLeave campaign
“As a result of this error, the Electoral Commission has interpreted the definition in a way that is inconsistent with both the language and the purpose of the legislation.”
Vote Leave’s donation to Mr Grimes, which went straight to its Canadian digital agency AggregateIQ, should have counted as part of Vote Leave’s campaign expenses, added the judge.
“The position would have been different if the money had been given to Mr Grimes for him to use however he chose in promoting a ‘leave’ outcome of the referendum,” he added.
But the judge said there was no “rational basis” for the watchdog’s actions, which he described a “recipe for abuse” of the law.
The Electoral Commission said it welcomed the High Court’s “consideration of this aspect of electoral law”.
“The court arrived at the same conclusion as the Commission did in its investigation – that Vote Leave should have accounted for the expenditure on the digital services firm, AggregateIQ – although it found an additional reason for reaching that conclusion.
“The Commission imposed sanctions on Vote Leave for this offence and others found during the investigation.”
Matthew Elliott: “Commission should reconsider unfair fines”
But Jolyon Maugham QC of the Good Law Project, which brought the High Court challenge, said the ruling proved the watchdog “unlawfully tilted the playing field in favour of Leave” in the 2016 referendum.
“Stronger In (the official Remain campaign) was also up against its spending limits.
“But because it didn’t get the advice from the Electoral Commission it had to stop spending. And the High Court decided that advice was wrong.”
He said “heads should roll” at the Electoral Commission over the error.
Matthew Elliott, former chief executive of Vote Leave, said the High Court ruling had “thrown electoral law for future elections and referendums into total chaos”.
“Either the Electoral Commission is wrong or the High Court is wrong.
“Should the Electoral Commission choose not to appeal this judgment, they will be admitting that they gave Vote Leave incorrect advice and they should immediately reconsider the unfair fines they are seeking to impose on us,” he added.
“Vote Leave would not have made the donations that it did, had it not been for the Commission’s clear advice.
“This whole situation is a mess of the Electoral Commission’s own making, and their defeat in the High Court today must force a rethink.
“They now have a chance to rectify their errors. They should do the right thing.”

Scientific Footprint of South Asian Fisheries and Aquaculture Research: A Scientometric Study between 2000 and 2017
Research Gateway - EUSL
LibSym 2018
Tharindu Bandara, lishani Nisansala Wijewardene
URI: http://www.digital.lib.esn.ac.lk/handle/123456789/3774
The multifaceted role of South Asian fisheries and aquaculture includes improving nutritional status, livelihood development and poverty alleviation of the associated nations. Application of scientific knowledge to utilize the full potential of South Asian fisheries and aquaculture has been discussed in many scientific forums, conferences and other published literature. Systematic analysis of this published literature may provide insight into the future research directions and identify the potential impact of South Asian fisheries and aquaculture research. In this context, a scientometric analysis in South Asian fisheries and aquaculture research was conducted for the period of 2000-2017 using Web of Science database™. Quantitative analysis of growth trends in publications, prolific authors, and journals, was carried out by using ‘R’ programming platform and package ‘bibliometrix’. The ‘VOSviewer’ software tool was employed to identify the key-word co-occurrence of published research articles in South Asian fisheries and aquaculture research. A total of 1755 articles related to South Asian fisheries and aquaculture were retrieved. Findings of the present study indicated that the, growth rate of articles in indexed publications is declining. India was the most influential country with the highest number of publications (1159). Indian Journal of Fisheries was the top journal with the highest article count (160). Keyword co-occurrence analysis has identified 10 distinct clusters related to the various themes of fisheries and aquaculture research. Fisheries management was the dominant research area with the highest number of associated keywords (52). Present study also suggested that strong country-level collaboration with developed countries, increase funding for research infrastructure and effective participation in international research arena are mandatory for more productive fisheries and aquaculture research output in South Asia.

Masters and Emerging Artists at the Outsider Art Fair
Art Project Australia’s Julian Martin at Fleisher/Ollman
At the 24th annual Outsider Art Fair in New York, it was clear that there has been a profound shift. Superficially, the aesthetics are far from the folk art antique shop feel of the past, having assimilated to a presentation more typical of the mainstream - a change generally attributed to one of field’s most successful champions and current fair organizer, Andrew Edlin. On a deeper level, the definition of “outsider” is flexed to a degree that's able to contain a broad spectrum of idiosyncratic works - from the visionary scarecrows of the late Memphis-based artist Hawkins Bolden, to Marlon Mullen’s lush abstractions, to an installation of 3D printed sculptures designed by 65 unconnected collaborators (presented as the work of a manufacturing company, Babel curated by Leah Gordon). Abandoning category without losing identity, the context of this forum has evolved rapidly over the past few years.
In a review of the fair for Design Observer, John Foster recalls that at the inception of the genre, early outsider art dealer Sidney Janis introduced the concept that “serious art could be made by everyday people”, a notion that's difficult to sympathize with today (if artists aren't “everyday people” then what are they?). This train of thought still seems to have some novelty for some 74 years later, as illustrated by Barbara Hoffman’s odd New York Post headline “The artists at this amazing fair are prisoners, janitors, and mental patients”. Ultimately, Edlin has allowed the fair to begin to merge seamlessly with the mainstream by expanding to include a flexible set of principles rather than depending on this particular kind of romantic narrative structure. It’s no longer necessary that the artists work in isolation or live obscure, misunderstood lives.
Rather, it’s a space for excellent creative endeavors that are genuine and created for their own sake, or for a context not ordinarily included in the art world. The most essential principle underlying this movement is that the institution of the market isn’t what engenders great work. In a climate where Laura Poitras (a filmmaker and journalist with no prior fine art experience) has a significant exhibition opening today at the Whitney, the particular terms and intent with which the OAF brings divergent, highly original perspectives to the art world maintains a distinct and important purpose.
The beauty of this more elastic definition is its efficacy both presently and retroactively, indicating that this isn’t so much a shift in paradigm as a greater understanding of why these works have been so compelling all along.

As usual, titans of the self-taught canon were featured extensively throughout the fair: Henry Darger, Joseph Yoakum, Adolf Wolfli, Jesse Howard, Bill Traylor, Thornton Dial, Minnie Evans, Martin Ramirez, Gayleen Aiken, Frank Jones, Royal Robertson, and James Castle, etc. These masters (the ones who have inspired so many to work in this field) continue to be represented by fantastic works, not due to a traditional romantic narrative, but because of genuine, sophisticated, and highly original visions, as evidenced by their conceptual harmony with work by contemporary “outsiders”.
The fair's strongest and most relevant exhibitions, however, were contemporary works by artists who maintain studio practices at progressive art studios - a dynamic collection of installations that were, in sum, a tour de force eliminating any question about their importance to this emerging sub-market, and potential to sustain, develop, and gain momentum.

The fair’s most important moment, and starkest example of the flexed "outsider" categorization, was the joint exhibition of NIAD’s Marlon Mullen by New York’s JTT Gallery and Portland’s Adams and Ollman - a solo exhibition of reductive acrylic paintings, with content explicitly referencing the contemporary mainstream. The narrative justification for its inclusion would be the assumption that these abstractions are defined by an unusual way of thinking and seeing, as opposed to a neurotypical artist’s contrived deconstruction of found imagery. Whether Mullen is engaging in abstraction in the traditional sense, creating representationally from his own perspective, or whether there is no meaningful difference between representation and abstraction in his experience is impossible to determine. Ultimately, their genesis becomes irrelevant because the elusive power of the imagery is an amalgamation of the inherently expressive nature of the work's formal elements, which isn’t dependent on a mutually understood way of seeing. The real triumph and importance of Mullen’s work lies in the revelation that their mysterious conceptual origin only causes their success to be more fascinating, and that they’re pushed to a degree of technical sophistication that’s unmistakably impactful. His paintings are paradoxically thoughtful and casual, as awkward as they are bold, as messy as they are delicate. These pieces embody a deeply genuine and intuitive quality that coexists with a strength defined by specificity and fine tuning.
Helen Rae at The Good Luck Gallery

The fair’s most generous moment was The Good Luck Gallery’s installation of stunning Helen Rae drawings - surfaces saturated with vigorous mark-making culminate in robust, stylized worlds rendered in graphite and colored pencil. Rae’s counter-intuitive re-imagining of the boundaries between abstraction and representation are thrillingly confounding. Strong graphic or patterned passages have an inexplicable sense of depth and form, which transition into fields scattered with spare details, achieving an almost photographic quality - all of which emerges from a surface that (when examined closely) possesses a roughly inscribed physicality. The continuous stream of excellent new drawings replacing sold work served as a testament to the promise of this prolific septuagenarian as an emerging phenomenon to watch.
Andrew Hostick at Morgan Lehman
Photos do little to capture the true nature of Andrew Hostick's drawings at Morgan Lehman Gallery. Not evident above is the experience of approaching this simple red, blue, and brown figure eight to discover that it’s surrounded by an opaque, shimmering field of marks in white colored pencil, worked hard into the mat board surface. The mystery of choosing to color a white surface white, is in its own way explained and not compounded by its eventual effect: fantastic moments of wonder in a distinct and familiar space. The curious effect of this subtlety achieved in such a laborious manner lays a foundation for the elusive mood that runs throughout all of Hostick’s works. He seems to search for, and with great success, achieve abstractions that aren’t just poignant in a general sense, but evoke a beautifully bleak, arid quality that seems to romantically belong to Ohio.

Other highlights included the velvety pastel abstractions of Art Project Australia’s Julian Martin at Philadelphia’s Fleisher/Ollman, humorous, pop-culture driven drawings by Kenya Hanley and Michael Pellew at LAND Gallery, Harald Stoffers at Cavin Morris Gallery, Joe Minter and Lonnie Holley at James Fuentes, Evelyn Reyes, Daniel Green, and Camille Halvoet at Creativity Explored, Terri Bowden, Susan Janow, and William Scott at Creative Growth, Walter Mika and Victor Critescu at Pure Vision, and an impressive quantity of work by artists at Japanese studios. Although only 4 progressive art studios exhibited independently at this year’s fair, their respective artists were prominently featured in a quarter of the exhibitions, including those of the most prominent dealers.

One of the most important insights from this year's Outsider Art Fair is that the progressive art studio can no longer strive to position itself as a neutral, invisible player between self-taught artists and an outsider art gallery. Undeniably, progressive art studios are poised to be a truly important movement, but, reflecting on this changing landscape it’s important that they critically evaluate their role in presenting work to the market. Despite their prevalence at the fair, gallerists had no reservations about expressing that they’ve been forced to stop representing artists they believe in due to studios' failures, ranging from unethical behavior (such as gifting works to program board members) to providing intrusive facilitation to simply being disorganized. The process of translation from outsider to the mainstream fine art market is delicate, and is something outsider art dealers are just now learning to do effectively; they’ve been an asset to studios because of their willingness to represent unique artists without ties to the broader art community. As the distinction continues to break down between outsider and insider, however, studios can only continue to be relevant if they’re able to proactively take on the responsibilities of translation and promotion typically provided by gallerists (including handling and documenting artwork properly).
The future of this process is pioneered right now by career paths that resemble the ones profiled above: NIAD, JTT, Adams and Ollman, and Marlon Mullen; Visionaries + Voices, Andrew Hostick, and Morgan Lehman; First Street, Helen Rae, and Good Luck Gallery; and Creative Growth, William Scott, and White Columns. Progressive art studios must believe in and champion each of their great artists with respect for their individual vision, with a focus on developing careers that extend beyond their program of origin.
Mark Hogencamp, Untitled (IMG_2616), Digital C-print, 27" x 36", 2014
In the traditional narrative of outsider art, the career of an artist such as Mark Hogencamp would have ended with the initial discovery of Marwencol. Ideally in the past, he would have been deceased before the work was found and his fixed oeuvre would be intrinsically associated with the story of a strange man working in isolation and obscurity (much like Darger and Ramirez). Mark Hogancamp, however, is no longer obscure or working in isolation. His new work at this year's fair, scenes created using full-sized mannequins, are a clear and exciting new development in his creative process. Hogancamp’s work is not at all diminished by the open involvement of his facilitator and gallery director Eddie Mullins, who we spoke with at One Mile Gallery’s booth. In our conversation with Mullins, his relationship with Hogencamp was remarkably familiar. Marwencol is a project absolutely devised and driven by Hogencamp, but Mullins has no inhibitions about explaining that the use of mannequins began after he provided some for Mark. Mullins plays an instrumental role in how Hogencamp’s vision is ultimately seen as art, but his assistance isn’t mistaken for collaboration (much like the relationships sound engineers and producers have with musicians). In this way, the transparency of this relationship sets an important example for studios to follow.
Recognizing the true nature of the facilitated creative process, including that provided by artist staff in the studio, must be fully open to criticism in order to progress; it’s simply too personal, dynamic, and delicate to be left out of the discussion. The next wave of great artists will come out of progressive art studios that are not only assisting artists to initiate a creative practice, but also provide innovative and ambitious new facilitation methods to further develop dynamic bodies of work.

Marlon Mullen Update

Marlon Mullen (b. 1963 Rodeo, CA), who is now represented exclusively by JTT Gallery and Adams and Ollman, lives in Richmond California, where he maintains a studio practice at NIAD Art Center. Mullen’s process entails reducing found imagery, often in the form of art publications, to a point well beyond recognition. Mullen’s flat, simple abstractions are achieved with utter sincerity, devoid of stylistic embellishment, and without reverting to geometric or systematic deconstructions (calling to mind the work of Gary Hume or Monique Prieto). Each elegant, lushly painted composition feels like an original, unequivocal interpretation of its source (while maintaining mere fragments of the initial image), but ultimately asserting a new sense of resolution with power and charm.
Mullen has been exhibiting work for several years, but there has been a recent increase of interest in his oeuvre; after his inaugural show with JTT in New York, he went on to have a solo exhibition at Atlanta Contemporary; upcoming solo exhibitions are slated with Adams and Ollman in Portland, Oregon and Jack Fischer Gallery in San Francisco. JTT and Adams and Ollman will also be co-presenting a solo show of Mullen's work at the Outsider Art Fair in January.
In a March Artspace interview, on Finding Space in the Market for Underdogs, curator and White Columns Director Matthew Higgs asserted that Marlon Mullen is "an amazingly interesting painter...we did a solo with Mullen a few years ago...JTT saw his work with us and is doing a solo show with him now. I think that's a really amazing development, that Mullen's work, which was largely only seen in the context of the center where he worked, is now finding multiple audiences. Certainly, from our perspective at White Columns, the goal is to create an audience for these ideas - we're less concerned, or ultimately less interested, in creating a market for these ideas. But I accept entirely that sometimes a market will come."
Mullen's work was discussed more recently in a compelling article written by Brendan Greaves for Artnews, The Error of Margins: Vernacular Artists and the Mainstream Art World. Greaves investigates the current role of Mullen and comparable artists in the contemporary art market:
Though the art world may not yet have a satisfactory way of referring to artists like Mullen, who are variously described by such leaky terms as self-taught, outsider, and vernacular, it has, over the past few years, shown more interest in them and is gradually growing the existing market for their work. When this issue of ARTnews went to press, Christie’s was preparing a September sale of what it deems “outsider and folk art,” including work by such acknowledged masters as Chicago narrative artist Henry Darger, Tennessee stone carver William Edmondson, Swiss Art Brut exemplar Adolf Wölfli, and rural Idahoan James Castle, who made paper constructions and delicate drawings with soot and spit.
The anticipated sales prices of the vernacular works at the auction—ranging from $2,000 to $4,000 for small pieces by Clementine Hunter, a painter of life on the Louisiana plantation on which she lived, to $400,000 to $600,000 for a large double-sided Darger drawing—illustrate the highly variable nature of this still-developing market. As Cara Zimmerman, Christie’s newly hired specialist in the field, told me over the summer, “While some well-known artists like Darger and Edmondson have already achieved auction prices commensurate with post-war and contemporary artists, this is still a new venture for us.
Previous exhibitions include the Parking Lot Art Fair in San Francisco (2015), Welcome To My World at NIAD (2015), NADA Art Fair White Columns Booth in Miami (2014), Under Another Name, organized by Thomas J. Lax at the Studio Museum of Harlem (2014), Undercover Geniuses organized by Jan Moore at the Petaluma Arts Center (2013), Color and Form at Jack Fischer Gallery in San Francisco (2013), Marlon Mullen at White Columns in NYC (2012), After Shelley Duvall '72 at Maccarone in NYC (2011), and Create, curated by Matthew Higgs and Lawrence Rinder at the Berkeley Art Musueum (2011). Mullen is a 2015 recipient of the Wynn Newhouse Award and has work in the collections of The Studio Museum in Harlem, the Berkeley Art Museum, and MADMusée (Belgium). See more of Mullen's work here

Doctor's Review: Medicine on the Move
Dr Seuss stories come to life
by CAMILLE CHIN July 2017
There’s a new Dr Seuss museum in Springfield, MA and, as expected, it’s a huge hit with kids. The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum opened in June as part of the Springfield Museum complex. The first floor is dedicated to Theodor Geisel’s Springfield roots; the second floor includes a recreation of his studio and living room complete with his actual drawing table. The Young Ted gallery features a replica of the writer’s childhood home; inside there’s a touchscreen where kids can “draw” on the bedroom walls as Ted famously did. Other spaces include the Seuss Bakery, similar to the one that Ted’s grandparents ran on Howard Street, and Forest Park Zoo, which was run by Ted’s father. Then there’s the ABC Wall, Green Eggs and Ham WordPlay, and zany characters from Wump of Gump to Cat in the Hat who has arms, legs and a tail that move. Timed tickets for the five museums in the complex: adults US$25, kids 3 to 17 US$13. springfieldmuseums.org.

International Draft Prospects
Nike Hoop Summit Practices-- World Team (day one)
The practices for the International Nike Hoop Summit team started early this week, and DraftExpress was able to make it there in time to catch the last half of the Tuesday evening practice. At first, the players worked on a few drills before scrimmaging the Memphis team of high school all-stars, who will play each other in a game before the started of the USA vs. World game on Saturday. Though there is only so much you can take from the practice, some of the prospects stood out with the skills they displayed.
Nike Hoop Summit Official Site
French big man Alexis Ajinca stood out more than anyone else today. Physically, Ajinca is an absolute freak of nature, listed at 7-1 (though he appears to be 7-2) with a huge wingspan and gigantic hands. Combine these attributes with an explosive vertical leap and nimble feet, and Ajinca can be considered an intriguing prospect based on size and athleticism alone. There is a lot more to be intrigued about than just his physical attributes, though.
Offensively, he has great hands under the basket, and uses his great length to keep loose balls alive on the offensive end, as well as sky over opposing players for rebounds on the defensive end. In the practice, Ajinca played the power forward position on the offensive end, playing opposite Nigerian big man Solomon Alabi. He appeared comfortable playing on the perimeter, showing soft shooting touch on his mid-range jump-shot. Inside, the big man handled the ball comfortably in traffic as well. During the scrimmage, Ajinca did most of his damage inside by gaining position, and either driving to the hoop or going to a hook shot with great success. On one possession, he shocked everybody in the practice facility by bring the ball back behind his head with his right arm and throwing down a monster dunk.
A big weakness that Alexis Ajinca must improve is the lack of bulk on his frame. He has the frame to add weight, but he struggles to gain position against the more physically developed competition he faces in the French ProA league. If he can add weight, he has the potential to play both the 4 and 5 at the next level, and his face the basket game would be an absolute nightmare for opposing centers to guard. It will also before important for him to gain experience and prove he can apply his raw skills on the basketball court before he enters the NBA draft.
Florida State recruit Solomon Alabi from Nigeria also had a good practice with the world select team. He appears to be a legit 71 with a very good frame for an incoming college freshman. Offensive, he generally scores in one of two ways. In the post, he has a very nice hook shot with a high release point, and he displayed great touch with this move today. The other way Alabi scored was by catching the ball and dunking it near the basket. Good hands and above average leaping ability make him a constant threat to score near the basket, be it off a pick and roll, offensive rebound, or flash cut to the hoop. In terms of footwork, Alabi has good fundamentals, but will need to work on developing counter moves. On a few possessions he tried to convert 10 foot jumpers on a spin move back to the middle. The move itself looked good, but his jumper needs some work at this point. Defensively, his length will be a great advantage to him and the Seminoles. His timing and anticipation will need some improvement, but Alabis long arms and leaping ability give him nice upside in this area. Solomon Alibi has nice polish for an athletic center coming out of high school, but he has a ways to go before he can start thinking about the NBA Draft. It will be interesting to watch him progress throughout the rest of the week.
French small forward Nicolas Batum may be the best known prospect playing in the Hoop Summit this year, as he is considered a future top 10 pick by many people. His potential physically can be appreciated with just one glance in person. In addition to a great wingspan, Batum also has a well developed body that you can probably call NBA ready. Throughout the scrimmage, he displayed some fantastic flashes of potential, though they only came in spurts. On a dunk over an opposing high school player, he showed off his great leaping ability and body control that allow him to take contact well in the paint. Batum also displayed his ability to finish at the basket on a slashing move to the left side, where he hung in the air and finished a right handed lay-up to set up a three point play opportunity.
Though he displayed good potential on offense, defense was the real intriguing part of Batums game today. Long arms, quick feet, and a strong body allow him to be a good defender, but he also shows good anticipation. Batum displayed great recovery speed when an opposing player had driven past him, but his quickness back to the ball allowed him to get a blocked shot from the side.
Though Batum appears to have great potential to be a 2 way player in the NBA, you sometimes have to wonder why he doesnt play more assertively. This trend isnt as concerning in practice as it would be in a game situation, so at this point it is best to take a wait and see approach in regards to his aggressiveness on the floor.
Israeli small forward Omri Casspi also stood out during the scrimmages, scoring the majority of his points slashing to the hoop. His shooting mechanics could still use some improvement, and he put in some extra time after practice with the coaching staff working on shooting form. Casspis feel for the game has progressed, and he made some very nice passes in traffic. Shot selection is still a work in progress for the young Israeli, though his slashing game appears to be a very good weapon at this point.
-Coming in, we really looked forward to getting a look at Georgian center Giorgi Shermadini. Unfortunately, he sat on the bench throughout practice, and appeared to be hampered by a foot injury when he shot around after practice.
-Tomorrow, we will have further coverage of all the international prospects playing on the World Select team. The high school team arrives Thursday, and DraftExpress will provide you coverage of their practices as well, leading up to the game on Saturday.

NimbleGen signs license deal with Affymetrix
by Chris Anderson | Email the author
NimbleGen
Array market
MADISON, Wis.—In early October, NimbleGen Systems Inc. announced it reached a non-exclusive worldwide license deal with microarray specialist Affymetrix Inc. encompassing the manufacture, use and sale of nucleic acid microarrays, related products and services aimed at the life sciences. Neither the financial terms nor the exact IP licensed to NimbleGen were released.
For NimbleGen, access to the patents marks a watershed moment for the company as it looks to diversify from its current service model.
"We are fundamentally changing our business model and obtaining these licenses represents a major milestone for the company," says Stan Rose, president and CEO of NimbleGen. "We have primarily been a ser vice provider. We have a unique way of making arrays that are of interest for a wide variety of applications in genome analysis that we believe are going to become mainstream research tools.
"As we've grown from our roots as a reference lab and leveraged the trend in the industry of outsourcing, interest in our technology in the research community has grown and there has been more and more demand from customers who would like to receive our arrays."
While NimbleGen has provided arrays on a limited basis to a handful of its customers, this agreement allows it to launch a full-scale effort to develop microarrays that it can brand and market in emerging research areas. These include chip-on-chip immunoassays, copy number analysis and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and DNA methylation. "In the past, we were comfortable providing arrays that had the look and feel of a prototype or a beta product, but when you are dealing with the mainstream research community you need to do things in terms of packaging and documentation and support and that is how we are moving forward."
For Affymetrix, the deal with NimbleGen is further evidence of its growing dominance in the microarray market and the success of a licensing program it broadened in early 2004. "This licensing agreement with NimbleGen follows from a commercial relationship and enables both companies to better serve customers within the growing microarray market," says Alan Sherr, VP and chief counsel for licensing at Affymetrix, in a statement announcing the deal.
While NimbleGen is targeting areas it anticipates will be high growth, Rose says the company also has a technological advantage.
In particular, he points to its long oligo probes as a competitive advantage in terms of data integrity, while touting the coming increases in array density it expects through the implementation of digital light processing (DLP) technology from Texas Instruments.
"We offer just over 400,000 features in a typical array today and are in the transition to 1.2 million features in January," he says. By the end of next year, Rose expects his company's arrays to boast 4 million features, a ten-fold increase in less than a year.
While the company anticipates its array business will eventually outstrip it services division, there are no plans to move away from its original area of business.
"It's not a matter of tossing the service business aside," Rose says. "Quite frankly, part of what has put us in this position is that we've had great success with the service business. There is still a significant portion of the research market that would prefer to outsource experiments and we have a capable group of people, a great reputation and an efficient operation, so we have no intention of giving that up."

New Antipsychotics and Schizophrenia: A Review on Efficacy and Side Effects

The first compounds showing efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders was chlorpromazine, an anti-histaminic compound casually observed to possess antipsychotic effects. The discovery of the real mechanism of action of antipsychotic substances dates back to the 1960s, when researchers found that these compounds act as dopamine receptor antagonists. Unfortunately, this type of drugs cannot block the D2 receptors only in the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway (which mediates their therapeutic effects), because of their non-selective D2 receptor blockage in both the mesolimbic and striatal regions, and the consequent appearance of side effects related to striatal interaction in the same dosage range as is needed for the therapeutical effects. Clozapine, discovered in the early 1970s, seemed to represent the solution to contrast these side effects, as it possesses antipsychotic activity without inducing extrapyramidal disorders in humans or catalepsy in rats; for this reason, it was defined as an “atypical” antipsychotic drug. Later, other beneficial properties, such as improvement of negative symptoms and of cognitive dysfunction and efficacy in neurolepticresistant schizophrenia, were included in the definition of “atypical”. In recent years, the appearance of new atypical antipsychotics (risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone) has opened new ways to therapy. The aim of this paper is to review literature about newer antipsychotics, focusing on their advantages in terms of efficacy and side effect profiles when compared to classical and older atypical antipsychotics, and to evaluate the efficacy of the different new antipsychotics when compared to one another.

Is Quantum Mechanics relevant to understanding consciousness?:A review of "Shadows of the Mind" by Roger ...
In connection with this third topic, I will argue that although Penrose is probably wrong about the physics of quantum mechanics being relevant to the (third person) neural correlates of awareness, the metaphysics of quantum mechanics may be essential to understanding the (first person) subjective nature of consciousness.
I believe that the metaphysical underpinnings of quantum mechanics are crucial for a deep understanding of consciousness and the connection between mind and brain.
Stapp (1993) and Penrose would like this association to be in the realm of science; Klein (1992, 1993) has argued that it could be in the realm of metaphysics.

plating assay for aneuploidy in N. crassa
In an attempt to validate the finding of enhanced aneuploidy, methylation was reduced in a dim+ met-7 (methionine) auxotroph, by starving for methionine, and a high frequency of aneuploidy was observed.
Thus, it is important to use compatible strains in order to maximize detection of aneuploids; this probably holds for any assay method.
Because we had to construct new met-7 strains carrying appropriate genetic markers for our plating assay for aneuploids, we tested these new strains for the ability to generate al-2/al+ (white/orange) mosaic aneuploids, one of the tests for aneuploidy in the previous study, and these strains failed to generate mosaics.

PSRD: Triggering the Formation of the Solar System
ne of the most amazing discoveries in space science is the unambiguous evidence from meteorites that the solar nebula (the cloud of gas and dust in which the Sun and planets formed) contained radioactive isotopes with half-lives so short that they no longer exist.
One of the characteristics of science is that someone always comes along to challenge conventional wisdom.
In this case, Frank Shu (University of California, Berkeley, now President at the National Tsinghua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan) and his coworkers suggested the renegade but imaginative idea that short-lived isotopes were made near the Sun while it was exhibiting a youthful exuberance by emitting vast amounts of radiation.

The Veins of Mexico Run Far & Deep
We bore this tide of echoes with lightness, attributing most of it to having lived in a country with a similar history of Imperial domination, down to the same conquistadores. But who didn't Spain touch when she was in her hey day? It was evening by the time we left the cuotas (toll roads), navigating through small towns and villages, till we were finally in Valladolid where we'd stay the night.
I'd summarily described it to the Lovely Libran as "you know, it's like a small Spanish town" deliberately leaving out most of the details to surprise her. The evening had done my efforts better, for we'd arrived on the night of a fiesta. The streets had garlands of lights, flags and flowers hung everywhere, and there was that general buzz of celebratory excitement.
The First Post Back is the Hardest
It's so true. At least for me it is. I suppose it has to do with how a good part of my life is in my writing. Hence my absence usually means I've succumbed to the silence living requires that trying once again to articulate insight from a moving canvas
of emotions can be preemptive, even false if not allowed to ripen. While I'm on both twitter and face crack, I have as yet to develop a significant presence on either. All this means is that I'm not quite convinced I have anything of value to say in 140 characters or less that doesn't involve the words, "Fire", "Watch Out", or "Duck".
I'm told it's an eminently useful tool in keeping followers in touch, and I believe it is. But what if my silences are just as important as what I have to say? Take fruit cake for instance, no one questions that it has to sit there for a while, marinating in rum or brandy or whatever liqueur it is that's meant to make it a masterpiece.
My mother used to make fruit cake in August so it would be ready by December, and opening the fridge we all teetered at the promise each well-wrapped lump of foil would later yield. The indescribable satisfaction of nut, fruit and dark cake, moistly infused with brandy, which was her choice of alcohol, all of which we could only enjoy when the holidays were finally upon us.
In her country, fruit cake was also the traditional wedding cake. Surprising I know, considering how we now associate wedding cake with the fluffy, creamed sponge tiers of sugar nothings majestically decorated in full bridal regalia. A recipe that's statistically telling. But yes, aside from Christmas, fruit cake was reserved for the day a marriage was sanctified. Apt I guess, because of the time it requires to gel, to finally make sense so to speak. Eating my mother's fruit cake was also one of the few occasions I could taste alcohol without getting ill and embarrassing myself publicly. Well, not so much myself as others, I usually don't remember much after I'm sick from it, being unable to ingest it uncooked.
When all else fails, blame the homosexuals..
So here's yet another original thought, apparently the Fall of the Roman Empire is now directly attributed to homosexuality. At least, that's what "top" Italian history professor Robert de Mattei would have you believe, reports the Daily Mail. Then again he also thinks Japan's tsunami is divine retribution.
www.prometheusbooks.com
Not surprisingly, he also happens to be a devout Roman Catholic who's worked closely with the church's own history council as well as being a close friend of the creepily swinging Silvio Berlusconi, the much in the news for his sexcapades Italian Prime Minister .
Now, I'm no historian. I was even raised Catholic. But. An entire empire, really?
So a quick read through historical viewpoints proves that a number of historians have pinpointed not just one but quite a few causes of Rome's decline from being the superpower of its time. Reasons like inflation, lead poisoning, the division of the seat of power, corruption, a crippling deficit (hint), even, OMG, Christianity which introduced contradictory values to running the empire. Sure there was certainly a level of debauchery that increased with Rome amassing power, amongst which were orgies of every sexual orientation, statements like this are meant to have us envision what? That Rome was essentially an amped up Fellini film spliced with racy episodes of Spartacus, something like Gay gone Wild?

NEAT GIN – North East Atlantic, Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian sea experiment
The NEAT GIN experiment took place during September-October 1989 at the Norwegian shelf edge near 68°N. Seven moorings, five in a closely-spaced cross-slope section, have proved a valuable precursor to the Shelf Edge Study (SES) west of Scotland. The NEAT GIN data analysis has now been completed.
A mean current (0.2-0.3 m/s) north-eastwards along the slope was found to be a predominant feature and is common to many locations around the north-west European shelf edge. The total transport was estimated to be 4 to 9 106m3/s, values at the upper end of the range of estimates from elsewhere around north-west Europe. Measurements near to the bottom showed slight anti-clockwise veering, consistent with the presence of a bottom Ekman layer.
Rotary motion, coherent down to about 300 m, made another large contribution to the total flow. Most energy occurred in periods exceeding 2 days (« day at the top of the slope). Comparisons with hindcast meteorological data showed little evidence of correlation between this rotary flow and the weather. Hence a stochastic source mechanism is suggested, eg. baroclinic instability.
Tidal analysis of the currents showed modest values; the M2 component was largest, about 0.05 m/s at the top of the slope in 200 m water depth, decreasing to about 0.03 m/s in the deeper waters on the slope. In comparison, tidal models of the region do not fully resolve the slope and exaggerate the increase of tidal currents in shallow water. Attempts to represent the diurnal tidal currents as a trapped wave also show this exaggeration. There was little evidence of internal-wave or internal-tide effects.
A significant finding for subsequent shelf-edge studies was a lateral coherence scale of about 10 km for the currents, comparable with the theoretical Rossby radius of deformation scaling eddies and internal features. This scale gives a basis for future array design. In the temperature field, however, smaller scales were evident from satellite imagery and appeared to contribute a large proportion of the variability. Consequently, a transport balance for temperature (heat) could not be constructed, although movements of the thermocline and changing temperature profiles suggested primarily advective contributions.
Fluctuating contributions to heat flux were calculated from the current meter and thermistor chain records. In common with other locations, eg. north-west of Scotland in 1982-83, these showed a principal contribution along the shelf (to the southwest, against the mean flow) and a small component.

Clara Peller Net Worth
· In Actors, Celebrities
Clara Peller Net Worth is
Clara Peller (August 4, 1902 a?? August 11, 1987), was a retired manicurist and American character actress who, at the age of 81, starred in the 1984 "Where's the beef?" advertising campaign for the Wendy's fast food restaurant chain, created by the Dancer Fitzgerald Sample advertising agency.
Born in Illinois, Clara Peller lived for most of her early life in Chicago, although she later moved to the suburban North Shore area to be near her daughter. Married at age 20 to a local jeweler, she was divorced eight years later, with two children, a boy and a girl. She worked for 35 years as a manicurist at a local Chicago beauty salon.
At age 80, Peller was hired as a temporary manicurist for a television commercial set in a Chicago barbershop. Impressed by her no-nonsense manners and unique voice, the agency later asked her to sign a contract as an actress for the agency. Though hard of hearing and suffering from emphysema, which limited her ability to speak long lines of dialogue, Peller was quickly utilized in a number of TV spot advertisements, including a new commercial for the Wendy's Restaurant chain.
First airing on January 10, 1984, the Wendy's commercial portrayed a fictional fast-food competitor entitled "Big Bun", where three elderly ladies are served an enormous hamburger bun containing a minuscule hamburger patty. While two of the women are so engaged, they are interrupted by an irascible Peller, who searches in vain for customer assistance while making the outraged demand: "Where's the beef!". Sequels featured a crotchety Peller yelling her famous line in various scenes, such as storming drive-thru counters, or in telephone calls to a fast-food executive attempting to relax on his yacht, the 'S.S. Big Bun'.
Peller's "Where's the beef" line instantly became a catchphrase across the United States. The diminutive octogenarian actress made the three-word phrase a cultural phenomenon, and herself a cult star. At Wendy's, sales jumped 31% to $

Benoit Has a New Chef, and She’s Risking Her Career to Make New York Bistros a Little More Ambitious
By Joshua David Stein

Laetitia Rouabah doesn’t see the sun anymore. When Rouabah got to New York, in September, she could still glimpse it in the mornings, but it’s almost winter now, so it is still dark — or as dark as Long Island City gets — when she wakes up. It’s the dead of night by the time she gets back home. The long hours are the result of her new job: This past Friday, Rouabah assumed her duties as the executive chef at Benoit, Alain Ducasse’s flagship bistro, so the sun will have to wait.
The 33-year-old Rouabah is the rare unknown quantity in New York, a city where chefs tend to arrive with a cannonball mentality: the bigger the splash the better. Rouabah, however, has slipped into town almost entirely unnoticed, and is now charged with running the best bistro in Manhattan — an island with no shortage of red banquettes, country baguettes, and blanquette de veau. English still being relatively new for the chef, she speaks in French to describe her new task. “Mr. Ducasse tells us to always push toward excellence. That is what I must do now.”
The argument could be made, understandably but perhaps incorrectly, that New Yorkers appreciate real bistros. It is a trend that seems to be perpetually cresting. But the newest wave of exciting French cooking — the food you see at Le Coucou, Mimi, and Le Coq Rico — is not at bistros, though they have been called such. Furthermore, many of the city’s most famous bistros are simulacra “bistros,” fun but fictive. (It’s not surprising that the main progenitor of these picturesque “bistros” is Keith McNally, who began his career in theater.) Meanwhile, Benoit, which occupies the space once home to La Côte Basque, has always been a little bit too real to be real.
It was designed to fit the French idea of a bistro, which differs from the New York idea of a bistro. Here we mistake tradition for comfort, which means a lot of roast chickens and crispy frites. But true bistros can also be ambitious. As Rouabah explains, “A bistro serves cuisine with a base in tradition, born of patience but served with efficacy, and above all made with the best ingredients one can find.”
Mr. Ducasse tells us to always push toward excellence. That is what I must do now. — Letitia Rouabah
Benoit had, as even Ducasse admits, a rough go of it early on. Two years in, Ducasse capitulated somewhat to the critical pans and replaced the original chef, Sebastien Rondier, with Philippe Bertineau, formerly of Payard and briefly of McNally’s Balthazar, who is a hardworking man with sunken eyes, a bad back, and a masterful touch. With Bertineau at the helm, it’s been seven years of steady gains. The slow righting of the ship culminated earlier this year, when we named it the best bistro in New York, and the restaurant received a triumphant two-star ode from the New York Times. “He is the restaurant’s third chef,” wrote Times critic Pete Wells of Bertineau. “With any luck, Mr. Ducasse won’t need a fourth for a long time.” Soon after, Ducasse took it upon himself to tear the place up and start over again.
He ripped out the dining room, replaced the famous blue sky trompe l’oeil mural with flat white, and turned the dark-stained walls white, too. The fussy lights are gone. Ducasse’s plate man, responsible for all the service ware at the chef’s restaurants, replaced the sturdy Gallic ones with terra cotta in muted colors, the kind of plates one might expect to find in Bushwick and Greenpoint. It was, in Ducasse’s words, Benoit 2.0.
It wasn’t clear at the time, but this lightening would also extend to the kitchen. And so it was, during lunch service a few days before Rouabah formally assumed control, she stood at the pass, looking gravely at a plate of beef bourguignon with a thick shimmering layer of sauce covering the meat. “Geoffrey,” she said, “red wine becomes a little bitter when it’s reduced. Next time, add a splash of port to sweeten it. Manuel, this onion isn’t halved. These need to be uniform.”
For the last 13 years, which constitutes the entirety of her career, Rouabah has moved through the ranks of the Alain Ducasse empire, so vast that it comprises 26 restaurants in seven countries. Rouabah’s last job before this one was running the kitchen at the 80-year-old Allard, which, though bought by Ducasse in 2013, remains a woman-run restaurant and one of Paris’s most important bistros. (Ducasse also owns the original Benoit in Paris.) Rouabah has often been called his protégée, for she, like him, is militantly precise with her execution, runs a kitchen with calm but absolute control, and has a deep and vast knowledge of French technique. “He didn’t even have to ask me to come here,” she says. “He knew I would say yes.”
The Absolute Best Bistro in New York
How Le Coucou Makes Its Extravagant 3-Part Rabbit Dish
At Benoit, she moves about the kitchen quietly, offering gentle but firm corrections. She wears no jewelry but a small Hand of Fatima her mother gave her, and a thin bracelet, a gift from the staff at Allard. (They also pried from an oven an old Allard sign, which she now keeps in her office.) The rims of plates must be cleaned up to one knuckle, she tells the garde manger, showing how to do it. Sauces, many dispensed from squeeze bottles, must be applied in uniform patterns. Less Pollock, more Lewitt. Excess moisture from the cod must be allowed to drain before it is plated, lest it messes with the intricate lines of the sauce rougaille. Change will come slowly, she admits. “We’ll be easing into it. This is my first draft.”
Though her remit is to reinvent the menu, Rouabah does plan to keep a few classics, especially during lunch. But even that has been gut-renovated. When she first arrived in the kitchen in September, Rouabah called the restaurant’s suppliers for a new-sheriff-in-town moment. “I explained to them Ducasse’s vision for naturality,” she says. She ended up replacing many of the products and producers, but Rouabah admits she’s also trying to learn as much as she can about her new home. On days when she doesn’t have English lessons, she visits the Greenmarket. She wants to know more about the farms, and about Americans’ tastes. Though she does not yet have a community of chef or civilian friends — “I don’t really have time to make friends,” she says. “There is too much work to do” — she has been going to restaurants like Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Atrium, and Porter House every week to see what people like.
During a busy lunch service last week, it was difficult to know if Rouabah’s changes had registered with the crowd. But it is clear that whoever is doing the cooking is already up to something sly, slightly subversive, and ambitious. Sea bass is ringed with orange-peel-studded seaweed, a side of “torrefied” spelt topped with milk-and-garlic foam. The menu lists hazelnut, foie gras, and mushrooms cromesquis, small, obscure fritters that arrive in an intricately folded napkin and are meant to be dipped in chestnut velouté. These are a far cry from so-called New York bistro dishes, cheeseburgers and “macaroni au gratin.”
There are a thousand reasons the latest Benoit might fail. It could be the long shadow of Essex House. Perhaps Ducasse’s vision is too far out for Americans to savvy. Perhaps it will be because we prefer our bistros to extend no further than what we already imagine them to be. But there’s one person who hopes she can change our minds, and she’s put everything on the line to do it.

Responsa
Reincarnation and Souls
Gal Einai Jun 20, 2019
Q: When people see a deceased relative in a dream, is it their own reflection or is it more objective? Is this real communication?
A: It depends. If the person is a tzaddik, it is a real communication. If it is a regular person, it can be something just within himself.
Q: Is there an ongoing subconscious dialogue with the deceased, such as family members? Is it a only in one direction or are the deceased aware, as well?
A: Certainly it is a two way street. Parents are always connected to their children whether they are alive or in the higher world. They are here, they look and take interest in everything that happens in the family. The Rebbe used to write that when the family member has a happy occasion, they know.
Q: If the soul reincarnates, it is still connected?
A: if the soul reincarnates in a different person, there is a distance, but there is still a connection. In physics, it is called entanglement. יי
Q: I was wondering if one’s family members in this life are specifically connected to one’s soul and were connected in previous gilgulim (and will be in the world to come) or if it is more “incidental” so to speak and the souls of one’s family change.
A: According to the Arizal, in the more recent generations, there could be less connection at the source between souls of family members. Certainly, though, there is a connection and a definite rectification in their relationship.
Q: Is there any usefulness in bringing out events in one’s previous life in order to rectify?
According to the Ba’al Shem Tov, it is not appropriate for an individual to try to discover his reincarnations. A person’s service of G-d must be done with temimut, simplicity. This is one of the basic foundations of Judaism. The more that a person connects to G-d on a level of simplicity, the more simcha, joy, he experiences. Joy is the inner trait of Binah, the beginning of the left line of the sefirot. Simplicity, temimut, is the inner trait of hod, which is the bottom of the left line. The joy of Binah spreads down to the simplicity of hod. This is the source of happiness in life. It is not important for a person to know specifically what level he is on, or what reincarnation he must rectify. If his focus is on the fulfillment of Torah and mitzvot, the rectification process will take place without his specific awareness. This is a much more practical way for a person to function in his daily life, and his ultimate goals and rectifications will be accomplished with more joy.

Home Developer Opera Has Words For Mozilla
Opera Has Words For Mozilla
By Sean Michael Kerner | January 10, 2007
Opera Software is calling accusations made by Mozilla staffer Asa Dotzler regarding Opera's security disclosure policies, "dangerous and irresponsible."
The issue at hand revolves around a pair of security vulnerabilities that were recently discovered by Verisign's iDefense division. Dotzler alleged that since Opera did not immediately alert users that there was an update available to fix critical flaws that Opera was in some way negligent.
Opera disagrees.
Opera spokesman Thomas Ford explained that one of the vulnerabilities was tagged "low impact" while the other was "moderate impact."
"Consistent with our track record, we patch all vulnerabilities, regardless of severity," Ford told internetnews.com. "This has been our philosophy since we first made a browser in 1995, and it will remain that way."
IDefense alerted Opera to the flaws on Nov. 16, 2006, and Opera began a full investigation the following day. Ford explained that, as is standard practice in the IT industry, a disclosure date was agreed upon by iDefense and Opera. Since the timing occurred around the holiday break of Christmas and the New Year, Opera agreed with iDefense to disclose on January 5, 2007. Opera shipped Opera version 9.10 on Dec. 18, 2006, with the fixes included.
Mozilla's Dotzler took issue with the fact that Opera did not originally alert users to the 9.10 release in the changelog that it included key security fixes. It's a charge that Opera isn't disputing.
"We accept that we should have made it clearer that 9.10 included security upgrades," Ford admitted. "We have rectified this in several places, including the changelog to which you linked.
"We recognized that our internal reporting and communication process could be improved and we have taken steps to ensure this does not happen again."
Opera also disagrees strongly with the accusation made by Dotzler that Opera downplayed the severity of risk for users.
"As a public-facing employee of the Mozilla Corporation, his comment is incredibly reckless and disappointing," Ford stated. "All vendors, including Mozilla Corporation, may adjust the severity of a security vulnerability when they disclose if they disagree with the finder's assessment."
The real issue when it comes to browser vulnerabilities is about the length of time a user is actually at risk from real attacks. It's a sentiment that Dotzler himself noted in a blog post several days before his Opera comments. In the case of the recent iDefense-discovered flaws, Ford contends that Opera users were not at risk for a single day.
"We have a long and proud record of placing our users' safety as our top priority," Ford said. "We will continue to do so and vigorously defend ourselves against claims to the contrary. "

Chips from a German Workshop - Volume IV - Essays chiefly on the Science of Language
by Max Muller
Previous Part 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next Part
"In this he was too little mindful of the requirements of fair dealing; for he leaves any one who may take the trouble to turn to the 'Indische Studien,' and compare the version there given with that found among the 'Chips,' to infer that all the discordances he shall discover are attributable to Weber's incorrectness, whereas they are in fact mainly alterations which Mller has made in his own reprint; and the real inaccuracies are perfectly trivial in character and few in number—such printer's blunders as are rarely avoided by Germans who print English, or by English who print German. We should doubtless be doing Mller injustice if we maintained that he deliberately meant Weber to bear the odium of all the discrepancies which a comparer might find; but he is equally responsible for the result, if it is owing only to carelessness on his part."
What will the intelligent gentlemen of the jury say to this? Because I complained of such blunders as altars being "construed," instead of "constructed," "enlightoned" instead of "enlightened," "gratulate" instead of "congratulate," and similar inaccuracies, occurring in an unauthorized reprint of my article, therefore I really wanted to throw the odium of what I had myself written in the original article, and what was, as far as the language was concerned, perfectly correct, on Professor Weber. Can forensic ingenuity go further? If America possesses many such powerful pleaders, we wonder how life can be secure.
Having thus ascertained whence ill lacrum, I must now produce a small bottle at least of the tears themselves which Professor Whitney has shed over me, and over men far better than myself, all of which, he says, were never meant to be personal, and most of which have evidently been quite dried up in his memory.
I begin with Bopp. "Although his mode of working is wonderfully genial, his vision of great acuteness, and his instinct a generally trustworthy guide, he is liable to wander far from the safe track, and has done not a little labor over which a broad and heavy mantle of charity needs to be drawn" (I.208).
M. Renan and myself have "committed the very serious error of inverting the mutual relation of dialectic variety and uniformity of speech, thus turning topsy-turvy the whole history of linguistic development..... It may seem hardly worth while to spend any effort in refuting an opinion of which the falsity will have been made apparent by the exposition already given" (p.177).
In another place (p.284) M. Renan is told that his objection to the doctrine of a primitive Indo-European monosyllabism is noticed, not for any cogency which it possesses, but only on account of the respectability of M.Renan.
Lassen and Burnouf, who thought that the geographical reminiscences in the first chapter of the Vendidad had a historical foundation, are told that their "claim is baseless, and even preposterous" (p.201). Yet what Professor Whitney's knowledge of Zend must be, we may judge from what he says of Burnouf's literary productions. "It is well known," he says, "that the great French scholar produced two or three bulky volumes upon the Avesta." Iknow of one bulky volume only, "Commentaire sur la Yana," tome i., Paris, 1833, but that may be due to my lamentable ignorance.
"Professor Oppert simply exposes himself in the somewhat ridiculous attitude of one who knocks down, with gestures of awe and fright, atremendous man of straw of his own erecting (I.218). His erroneous assumptions will be received with most derisive incredulity (I.221); the incoherence and aimlessness of his reasonings (I.223); an ill-considered tirade, atissue of misrepresentations of linguistic science (I.237). He cannot impose upon us by his authority, nor attract us by his eloquence: his present essay is as heavy in style, as loose and vague in expression, unsound in argument, arrogant in tone" (I.238). The motive imputed to Professor Oppert in writing his Essay is that "he is a Jew, and wanted to stand up for the Shemites."
If Professor Oppert is put down as a Shemite, Dr. Bleek is sneered at as a German. "His work is written with much apparent profundity, one of a class, not quite unknown in Germany, in which a minimum of valuable truth is wrapped up in a maximum of sonating phraseology" (I.292). Poor Germany catches it again on page 315. "Even, or especially in Germany," we are told, "many an able and acute scholar seems minded to indemnify himself for dry and tedious grubbings among the roots and forms of Comparative Philology by the most airy ventures in the way of constructing Spanish castles of linguistic science."
In his last work Professor Whitney takes credit for having at last rescued the Science of Language from the incongruities and absurdities of European scholars.
Now on page 119 Professor Whitney very properly reproves another scholar, Professor Goldstcker, for having laughed at the German school of Vedic interpretation. "He emphasizes it," he says, "dwells upon it, reiterates it three or four times in a paragraph, as if there lay in the words themselves some potent argument. Any uninformed person would say, we are confident, that he was making an unworthy appeal to English prejudice against foreign men and foreign ways." Professor Whitney finishes up with charging Professor Goldstcker, who was himself a German—I beg my reader's pardon, but I am only quoting from a North American Review—with "fouling his own nest." Professor Whitney, Ibelieve, studied in a German university. Did he never hear of a 'cute little bird, who does to the nest in which he was reared, what he says Professor Goldstcker did to his own?
Chaire moi, Gldstukre, kai ein Aidao domoisin; Panta gar d toi tele, ta paroithen hupestn.
Haeckel is called a headlong Darwinian (I.293), Schleicher is infected with Darwinism (I.294), "he represents a false and hurtful tendency (I.298), he is blind to the plainest truths, and employs a mode of reasoning in which there is neither logic nor common sense (I.323). His essays are unsound, illogical, untrue; but there are still incautious sciolists by whom every error that has a great name attached to it is liable to be received as pure truth, and who are ever specially attracted by good hearty paradoxes" (I.330).
I add a few more references to the epitheta ornantia which I was charged with having invented. "Utter futility" (p.36); "meaningless and futile" (p.152); "headlong materialist" (p.153); "better humble and true (Whitney) than high-flown, pretentious, and false" (not-Whitney, p.434); "simply and solely nonsense" (I.255); "darkening of counsel by words without knowledge" (I.255); "rhetorical talk" (I.723); "flourish of trumpets, lamentable (not to say) ridiculous failure" (I.277).
What a contrast between the rattling discharges of these mitrailleuses at the beginning of the war, and the whining and whimpering assurance now made by the American professor, that he never in his life said anything personal or offensive!
WHY I OUGHT NOT TO HAVE ANSWERED.
Having taken the trouble of collecting these spent balls from the various battlefields of the American general, Ihope that even Professor Whitney will no longer charge me with having spoken without book. As long as he cited me before the tribunal of scholars only, Ishould have considered it an insult to them to suppose that they could not, if they liked, form their own judgment. For fifteen years have I kept my fire, till, like a Chinese juggler, Professor Whitney must have imagined he had nearly finished my outline on the wall with the knives so skillfully aimed to miss me. But when he dragged me before a tribunal where my name was hardly known, when he thought that by catching the aura popularis of Darwinism, he could discredit me in the eyes of the leaders of that powerful army, when he actually got possession of the pen of the son, fondly trusting it would carry with it the weight of the father, then I thought I owed it to myself, and to the cause of truth and its progress, to meet his reckless charges by clear rebutting evidence. Idid this in my "Answer to Mr. Darwin," and as I did it, Idid it thoroughly, leaving no single charge unanswered, however trifling. At the same time, while showing the unreasonableness of his denunciations, Icould not help pointing out some serious errors into which Professor Whitney had fallen. Some thrusts can only be parried by a-tempo thrusts.
Professor Whitney, like an experienced advocate, passes over in silence the most serious faults which I had pointed out in his "Lectures," and after he has attempted—with what success, let others judge—to clear himself from a few, he turns round, and thinks it best once for all to deny my competency to judge him. And why?
"I do not consider Professor Mller capable of judging me justly," he says. And why? "Because I have felt moved, on account of his extraordinary popularity and the exceptional importance attached to his utterances, to criticise him more frequently than anybody else."
Is not this the height of forensic ingenuity? Because A has criticised B, therefore B cannot criticise A justly. In that case A has indeed nothing to do but to criticise B C D to Z, and then no one in the world can criticise him justly. Ihave watched many controversies, Ihave observed many stratagems and bold movements to cover a retreat, but nothing to equal this. Professor Pott was very hard on Professor Curtius, but he did not screen himself by denying to his adversary the competency to criticise him in turn. What would Newman have said, if Kingsley had tried to shut him up with such a remark, aremark really worthy of one literary combatant only, the famous Pastor Goeze, the critic of Lessing?
What would even Professor Whitney think, if I were to say that, because I have criticised his "Lectures," he could not justly criticise my "Sanskrit Grammar?" He might not think it good taste to publish an advertisement to dissuade students in America from using my grammar; he might think it unworthy of himself and dishonorable to institute comparisons, the object of which would be too transparent in the eyes even of his best friends in Germany. Mr. Whitney has lived too long in Germany not to know the saying, Man merkt die Absicht und man wird verstimmt. But should I ever say that he was incompetent to criticise my "Sanskrit Grammar" justly? Certainly not. All that I might possibly venture to say is, that before Professor Whitney undertakes to criticise my own or any other Sanskrit grammar, he should look at 84 of my grammar, and practice that very simple rule, that if Visarga is preceded by a, and followed by a, the Visarga is dropt, a changed to o, and the initial vowel elided. If with this rule clearly impressed on his memory, he will look at his edition of the Atharva-Veda Prti{s}khya, I.33, then perhaps, instead of charging Hindu grammarians in his usual style with "opinions obviously and grossly incorrect and hardly worth quoting," he might discover that eke sp{ri}sh{t}am could only have been meant in the MSS. for eke 'sp{ri}sh{t}am, and that the proper translation was not that vowels are formed by contact, but that they are formed without contact. Instead of saying that none of the other Prti{s}khyas favors this opinion, he would find the same statement in the Rig-Veda Prti{s}khya, Stra 719, page cclxi of my edition, and he might perhaps say to himself, that before criticising Sanskrit grammars, it would be useful to learn at least the phonetic rules. Ihad pointed out this slip before, in the second edition of my "Sanskrit Grammar;" but, as to judge from an article of his on the accent, Professor Whitney has not seen that second edition (1870), which contains the Appendix on the accent in Sanskrit, Ibeg leave to call his attention to it again.
WHY I OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL.
I am glad to say that we now come to a more amusing part of this controversy. After I had been told that because I was attacked first, therefore I was not able to criticise Professor Whitney's writings justly, Iam next told that I ought to be very grateful for having been attacked, nay, Iam told that, in my heart of hearts, Iam really very grateful indeed. Imust quote this passage in full:—
"During the last eight years I have repeatedly taken the opportunity accurately to examine and frankly to criticise the views of others and the arguments by which they were supported. Ihave done this more particularly against eminent and famous men whom the public has accustomed itself to regard as guides in matters referring to the Science of Language. What unknown and uncared for people say, is of no consequence whatever; but if Schleicher and Steinthal, Renan and Mller, teach what to me seems an error, and try to support it by proofs, then surely I am not only justified, but called upon to refute them, if I can. Among these students the last-named seems to be of different opinion. In his article, 'My Reply to Mr. Darwin,' published in the March number of the 'Deutsche Rundschau,' he thinks it necessary to read me a severe lecture on my presumption, although he also flatters me by the hint that my custom of criticising the most eminent men only is appreciated, and those whom I criticise feel honored by it."
I confess when I read this, I wished I had really paid such a pretty compliment to my kind critic, but looking through my article from beginning to end, I find no hint anywhere that could bear so favorable an interpretation, unless it is where I speak of "the noble army of his martyrs," and of the untranslated remark of Phocion, which he may have taken for a compliment. In saying that it was acknowledged to be an honor to be attacked by him, Professor Whitney was, no doubt, thinking of the words of Ovid, Summa petunt dextra fulmina missa Jovis, and I am not going in future to deny him the title of the Jovial and Olympian critic, nor should I suggest to him to read the line in Ovid immediately preceding the one quoted. Against one thing only I must protest. Though the last named, Iam surely not, as he boldly asserts, the only one of the four sommits struck by his Olympian thunderbolts, who have humbly declined too frequent a repetition of his celestial favors. Schleicher, no doubt, was safe, for alas, he is dead! But Steinthal surely has uttered rather Promethean protests against the Olympian,—
Oid' hoti trachus kai par' heauti to dikaion echn Zeus; all' empas malakognmn estai poth', hotan tauti rhaisthi;
and as to M. Renan, does his silence mean more than—
Emoi d' elasson Znos mden melei
I confess, then, frankly that, in my heart of hearts, I am not grateful for these cruel kindnesses, and if he says that the other Serene Highnesses have been less ungrateful than I am, Ifear this is again one of his over-confident assertions. My publishers in America may be grateful to him, for I am told that, owing to Professor Whitney's articles, much more interest in my works has been excited in America than I could ever have expected. But I cannot help thinking that by the line of action he has followed, he has done infinite harm to the science which we both have at heart. In order to account somehow or other for his promiscuous onslaughts, he now tells Mr. Darwin and his friends that in the Science of Language all is chaos. That is not so, unless Mr. Whitney is here using chaos in a purely subjective sense. There are differences of opinion, as there are in every living and progressive science, but even those who differ most widely, perfectly understand and respect each other, because they know that, from the days of Plato and Aristotle, men who start from different points, arrive at different conclusions, particularly when the highest problems in every science are under consideration. Ido not agree with Professor Steinthal, but I understand him; Ido not agree with Dr. Bleek, but I respect him; Idiffer most of all from Schleicher, but I think that an hour or two of private conversation, if it were possible still, would have brought us much nearer together. At all events, in reading any of their books, Ifeel interested, Ibreathe a new atmosphere, Iget new ideas, Ifeel animated and invigorated. Ihave now read nearly all that Professor Whitney has written on the Science of Language, and I have not found one single new fact, one single result of independent research, nay, not even one single new etymology, that I could have added to my Collectanea. If I am wrong, let it be proved. That language is an institution, that language is an instrument, that we learn our language from our mothers, as they learned it from their mothers and so on till we come to Adam and Eve, that language is meant for communication, all this surely had been argued out before, and with arguments, when necessary, as strong as any adduced by Professor Whitney.
Professor Whitney may not be aware of this, or have forgotten it; but a fertile writer like him ought at all events to have a good memory. In his reply, p.262, he tells us, for instance, as one of his latest discoveries, that in studying language, we ought to begin with modern languages, and that when we come to more ancient periods, we should always infer similar causes from similar effects, and never admit new forces or new processes, except when those which we know prove totally inefficient. In my own Lectures I had laid it down as one of the fundamental principles of the Science of Language that "what is real in modern formations must be admitted as possible in ancient formations, and that what has been found true on a small scale may be true on a larger scale." Ihad devoted considerable space to the elucidation of this principle, and what did Professor Whitney write at that time (1865)?
"The conclusion sounds almost like a bathos; we should have called these, not fundamental principles, but obvious considerations, which hardly required any illustration" (p.243).
Here is another instance of failure of memory. He assures us:—
"That he would never venture to charge anybody with being influenced in his literary labors by personal vanity and a desire of notoriety, except perhaps after giving a long string of proofs—nay, not even then" (p.274).
Yet it was he who said of (I. 131) the late Professor Goldstcker that—
"Mere denunciation of one's fellows and worship of Hindu predecessors do not make one a Vedic scholar,"
and that, after he had himself admitted that "no one would be found to question his (Professor Goldstcker's) immense learning, his minute accuracy, and the sincerity and intensity of his convictions."
By misunderstanding and sometimes, unless I am greatly mistaken, willfully closing his eyes to the real views of other scholars, Professor Whitney has created for himself a rich material for the display of his forensic talents. Like the poor Hindu grammarian, we are first made to say the opposite of what we said, and are then brow-beaten as holding opinions "obviously and grossly incorrect and hardly worth quoting." All this is clever, but is it right? Is it even wise?
Much of what I have here written sounds very harsh, I know; but what is one to do? Ihave that respect for language and for my friends, and, may I add, for myself, to avoid harsh and abusive words, as much as possible. Ido not believe in the German saying, Auf einen groben Klotz gehrt ein grober Keil. I have tried hard, throughout the whole of my literary career, and even in this "Defense," not to use the weapons that have been used against me during so many years of almost uninterrupted attacks. Much is allowed, however, in self-defense that would be blamable in an unprovoked attack, and if I have used here and there the cool steel, Itrust that clean wounds, inflicted by a sharp sword, will heal sooner than gashes made with rude stones and unpolished flints.
Professor Whitney might still, I feel convinced, do some very useful work, as the apostle of the Science of Language in America, if only, instead of dealing in general theories, he would apply himself to a critical study of scientific facts, and if he would not consider it his peculiar calling to attack the personal character of other scholars. If he must needs criticise, would it be quite impossible for him, even in his character of Censor, to believe that other scholars are as honest as himself, as independent, as outspoken, as devoted at all hazards to the cause of truth? Does he really believe in his haste that all men who differ from him, or who tell him that he has misapprehended their teaching, are humbugs, pharisees, or liars? Professor Steinthal was a great friend of his, does he imagine that his violent resentment was entirely unprovoked? Ihave had hundreds of reviews of my books, some written by men who knew more, some by men who knew less than myself. Both classes of reviews proved very useful, but, beyond correcting matters of fact, Inever felt called upon to answer, or to enter into personal recriminations with any one of my reviewers. We should not forget that, after all, reviews are written by men, and that there are often very tangible reasons why the same book is fiercely praised and fiercely abused. No doubt, every writer who believes in the truth of his opinions, wishes to see them accepted as widely as possible; but reviews have never been the most powerful engines for the propaganda of truth, and no one who has once known what it is to feel one's self face to face with Truth, would for one moment compare the applause of the many with the silent approval of the still small voice of conscience within. Why do we write? Chiefly, Ibelieve, because we think we have discovered facts unknown to others, or arrived at opinions opposed to those hitherto held. Knowing the effort one has made one's self in shaking off old opinions or accepting new facts, no student would expect that everybody else would at once follow his lead. Indeed, we wish to differ from certain authorities, we wish to be criticised by them; their opposition is far more important, far more useful, far more welcome to us, than their approval could ever be. It would be an impossible task were we to attempt to convert personally every writer who still differs from us. Besides, there is no wheat without bran, and nothing is more instructive than to watch how the millstones of public opinion slowly and noiselessly separate the one from the other. Ihave brought my harvest, such as it was, to the mill: Ido not cry out when I see it ground. From my peers I have received the highest rewards which a scholar can receive, rewards far, far above my deserts; the public at large has treated me no worse than others; and, if I have made some enemies, all I can say is, Ido not envy the man who in his passage through life has made none.
Even now, though I am sorry for what Professor Whitney has done, Iam not angry with him. He has great opportunities in America, but also great temptations. There is no part of the civilized world where a scholar might do more useful work than in America, by the bold and patient exploration of languages but little known, and rapidly disappearing. Professor Whitney may still do for the philology of his country what Dr. Bleek has done for the languages of Africa at the sacrifice of a lifelong expatriation, alas! Ihave just time to add, at the sacrifice of his life.
But I admit that America has also its temptations. There are but few scholars there who could or would check Professor Whitney, even in his wildest moods of asseveration, and by his command of a number of American papers, he can easily secure to himself a temporary triumph. Yet, Ibelieve, he would find a work, such as Bancroft's "On the Native Races of the Pacific States of North America," afar more useful contribution to our science, and a far more permanent monument of his life, than reviews and criticisms, however brilliant and popular.
It was because I thought Professor Whitney capable of rendering useful service to the Science of Language in America that I forbore so long, that I never for years noticed his intentional rudeness and arrogance, that I received him, when he called on me at Oxford, with perfect civility, that I assisted him when he wanted my help in procuring copies of MSS. at Oxford. Icould well afford to forget what had happened, and I tried for many years to give him credit for honorable, though mistaken, motives in making himself the mouthpiece of what he calls the company of collaborators.
In fact, if he had arraigned me again and again before a tribunal of competent judges, Ishould gladly have left my peers to decide between me and my American traducer. But when he cleverly changed the venue and brought his case before a tribunal where forensic skill was far more likely to carry the day than complicated evidence that could be appreciated by a special jury only, then, at last, Ihad to break through my reserve. It was not exactly cowardice that had kept me so long from encountering the most skillful of American swordsmen, but when the duel was forced upon me, Idetermined it should be fought out once for all.
I might have said much more; in fact, I had written much more than what I here publish in self-defense, but I wished to confine my reply as much as possible to bare facts. Professor Whitney has still to learn, it seems, that in a duel, whether military or literary, it is the bullets which hit, not the smoke, or the report, however loud. Ido not flatter myself that with regard to theories on the nature of language or the relation between language and thought there ever will be perfect unanimity among scholars, but as to my bullets or my facts, Ibelieve the case is different. Iclaim no infallibility, however, and would not accept the papal tiara among comparative philologists, even though it was offered me in such tempting terms by the hands of Professor Whitney. In order, therefore, to satisfy Mr. Darwin, Professor Haeckel, and others whose good opinion I highly value, because I know that they care for truth far more than for victory, Inow appeal to Professor Whitney to choose from among his best friends three who are Professores ordinarii in any university of England, France, Germany, or Italy, and by their verdict I promise to abide. Let them decide the following points as to simple matters of fact, the principal bones of contention between Professor Whitney and myself:—
1. Whether the Latin of the inscription on the Duilian Column represents the Latin as spoken in 263 B.C. (p.430);
2. Whether Ahura-Mazda can be rendered by "the mighty spirit" (p.430);
3. Whether sarvanman in Sanskrit means "name for everything" (p.430);
4. Whether Professor Whitney knew that the Phenician alphabet had by Roug and others been traced back to an Egyptian source (pp.430, 450, 468);
5. Whether Professor Whitney thought that the words light, alight, and delight could be traced to the same source (p.467);
6. Whether in the passages pointed out on p.434, Professor Whitney contradicts himself or not;
7. Whether he has been able to produce any passage from my writings to substantiate the charge that in my Lectures I was impelled by an overmastering fear lest man should lose his proud position in the creation (p.435);
8. Whether there are verbatim coincidences between my Lectures and those of Professor Whitney (pp.425, 470-474);
9. Whether I ever denied that language was made through the instrumentality of man (p.470);
10. Whether I had or had not fully explained under what restrictions the Science of Language might be treated as one of the physical sciences, and whether Professor Whitney has added any new restrictions (pp.422 seq., 475 seq.);
11. Whether Professor Whitney apprehended in what sense some of the greatest philosophers declared conceptual thought impossible without language (p.484);
12. Whether the grammatical blunder, with regard to the Sanskrit pari tasthushas as a nominative plur., was mine or his (p.490);
13. Whether I had not clearly defined the difference between hard and soft consonants long before Professor Whitney, and whether he has not misrepresented what I had written on the subject (p.490);
14. Whether in saying that the soft consonants can be intonated, Icould have meant that they may or may not be intonated (p.497);
15. Whether I invented the terms vivrasv{s}ghosh{h} and sa{m}vrandaghosh{h}, and whether they are to be found in no Sanskrit grammarian (p.498);
16. Whether I was right in saying that Professor Whitney had complained about myself and others not noticing his attacks, and whether his remarks on my chapter on Fir, Oak, and Beech required being noticed (p.500);
17. Whether I had invented the Epitheta ornantia applied by Professor Whitney to myself and other scholars, or whether they occur in his own writings (p.504);
18. Whether E. Burnouf has written two or three bulky volumes on the Avesta, or only one (p.515);
19. Whether Professor Whitney made a grammatical blunder in translating a passage of the Atharva-Veda Prti{s}khya, and on the strength of it charged the Hindu grammarian with holding opinions "obviously and grossly incorrect, and hardly worth quoting" (p.519);
20. Whether Professor Whitney has occasionally been forgetful (p.523).
Surely there are among Professor Whitney's personal friends scholars who could say Yes or No to any of these twenty questions, and whose verdict would be accepted, and not by scholars only, as beyond suspicion. Anyhow, Ican do no more for the sake of peace, and to put an end to the supposed state of chaos in the Science of Language, and I am willing to appear in person or by deputy before any such tribunal of competent judges.
I hope I have thus at last given Professor Whitney that satisfaction which he has claimed from me for so many years; and let me assure him that I part with him without any personal feeling of bitterness or hostility. Ihave grudged him no praise in former days, and whatever useful work we may receive from him in future, whether on the languages of India or of America, his books shall always receive at my hands the same justice as if they had been written by my best friend. Ihave never belonged to any company of collaborators, and never shall; but whosoever serves in the noble army for the conquest of truth, be he private or general, will always find in me a faithful friend, and, if need be, afearless defender. Igladly conclude with the words of old Fairfax (Bulk and Selvedge, 1674): "Ibelieve no man wishes with more earnestness than I do, that all men of learning and knowledge were men of kindness and sweetness, and that such as can outdo others would outlove them too; especially while self bewhispers us, that it stands us all in need to be forgiven as well as to forgive."

[Footnote 3: See p. 348.]
[Footnote 4: Lectures, vol. ii. p. 157.]
[Footnote 5: Having still that kind of faith left, that a man could not willfully say a thing which he knows to be untrue, Ilooked again at every passage where I have dwelt on the difference between soft and hard consonants, and I think I may have found the passage which Professor Whitney grasped at, when he thought that I knew nothing of the difference between voiced and voiceless letters, until he had enlightened me on the subject. Speaking of letters, not as things by themselves, but as acts, Isometimes speak of the process that produces the hard consonant first, and then go on to say that it can be voiced, and be made soft. Thus when speaking of s and z, Isay, the former is completely surd, the latter capable of intonation, and the same expression occurs again. Could Professor Whitney have thought that I meant to say that z was only capable of intonation, but was not necessarily intonated? Ibelieve he did, for it is with regard to s and z that, as I see, he says, "it is a marvel to find men like Max Mller, in his last lectures about language, who still cling to the old view that a z, for instance, differs from s primarily by inferior force of utterance." Now, Iadmit that my expression, "capable of intonation" might be misunderstood, and might have misled a mere tiro in these matters, who alighted on this passage, without reading anything before or after. But that a professor in an American university could have taken my words in that sense is to me, Iconfess, apuzzle, call it intellectual or moral, as you like.]
[Footnote 6: Indische Studien, x. 459.]
[Footnote 7: When I saw how M. Biot, the great astronomer, treated Professor Weber du haut en bas, because, in criticising Biot's opinion he had shown some ignorance of astronomy, Isaid, from a kind of fellow-feeling: "Weber's Essays are very creditable to the author, and hardly deserved the withering contempt with which they were treated by Biot. Idiffer from nearly all the conclusions at which Professor Weber arrives, but I admire his great diligence in collecting the necessary evidence." Upon this the American gentleman reads me the following lesson: First of all, Iam told that my statement involves a gross error of fact; Iought to have said, Weber's Essay, not Essays, because one of them, and the most important, was not published till after Biot's death. Iaccept the reproof, but I believe all whom it concerned knew what Essay I meant. But secondly, Iam told that the epithet withering is only used by Americans when they intend to imply that, in their opinion, the subject of the contempt is withered, or ought to be withered by it. This may be so in American, but I totally deny that it is so in English. "Withering contempt," in English, means, as far as I know, akind of silly and arrogant contempt, such, for instance, as Professor Whitney displays towards me and others, intended to annihilate us in the eyes of the public, but utterly harmless in its consequences. But let me ask the American critic what he meant when, speaking of Biot's treatment of Weber, he said, "Biot thought that Weber's opinions had been whiffed away by him as if unworthy of serious consideration." Does whiff away in America mean more or less than withering? What Professor Whitney should have objected to was the adverb hardly. I wish I had said vix, et ne vix quidem.]

Enter Kyle, stage right
By Jude Collins on May 31, 2014
God, it’s getting crowded in here. (When I say ‘God’, this could be a reference to the God of Christianity, Islam, and any other faith you choose. Just thought I’d make that clear.) First Anna Lo gave us a close-up of how banal and ugly everyday racism can get – and how frightening. Her description of being pursued to Connswater Shopping Centre car park by foul-mouthed throw-backs helped us all understand what a stupid and primitive affliction racism is. Now Anna says she may leave here and go to live nearer her two sons in England, where people are a bit more civilised about these things. As Yeats said, we have disgraced ourselves again.
Also nudging his way into the racism spotlight comes Rev Kyle Paisley, the other twin of ‘Dr’ Ian Kyle Paisley himself. The wrath of Kyle is mighty: “Condescending ignoramus” he informs Peter Robinson, knocking him for six. Kyle’s clerical boot is then put into Peter’s party, including, we’re told, his twin Ian. “It beggars belief that thus far not one within his [Robinson’s] party has the nerve to publicly challenge him. Sometimes silence is golden. In this case it is plain yellow.”
It’s always refreshing to hear someone blow away mealy-mouthed equivocation; even when I fundamentally disagreed with Kyle’s da, which was pretty much all the time, I had to admire the power and punch of his pronouncements. The Rev Kyle makes it clear that he thinks not just Pastor Jack but First Minister Peter were completely wrong. However, there is one part of his sub-text in which he misdiagnoses the nature of the DUP. The Rev Kyle upbraids the party that no one could be found with “the nerve to publicly challenge him [Robinson]”. The reason, he concludes, is that they were yellow.
Hold on a tick, Rev Kyle. You’re right that no one in the DUP has come out to denounce FM Peter’s judgement on Islam; but are you right in your implication that the silence was due to cowardice? That would suggest the DUP ranks are heaving with people who believe FM Peter’s views are those of a “condescending ignoramus” but just are afraid to voice their own, different views. Different? I’ve seen no evidence that there is a phalanx of defenders of minorities in the ranks of the DUP. In fact it might it be less cowardice on the part of other DUP colleagues, and more the fact that they silently agree with Peter. Sammy Wilson and Edwin Poots have made clear they think the Peter way. I suspect the rest of the DUP are lined up behind Sammy and Edwin rather than bursting with dissent held back only by cowardice.
So thanks for the “condescending ignoramus” bit, Kyle; but not sure I buy that plain yellow diagnosis.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene/ I’m begging of you, please…
Talking politics with a politician – imagine that!

As a Nationalist all this brazen bigotry has left me in a dilemma of competing allegiances.
Like a hospital patient who has received a horrible diagnosis of a problem which has debilitated him for years there is a relief in understanding the causes of the problem and the solace of knowing that others will no longer believe that he is a malign whinger but this is offset by the devastating realisation that he will have to live with it and that it will probably hamper or curtail any pretence of optimism for the future which he may have harboured.
So it is for me, that seeing the recent, unashamed, naked face of bigotry on the TV and Internet media. There is a sense of vindication in pointing out to the rest of the civilised world the nasty intolerant attitudes of those in positions of influence with whom we have to share this country and pleading with them “could you happily live in harmony with these people who generalise their hatred to whole swathes of the population”?
OK, so for the short duration that it remains in the word headlines, those who care, know that their previous utterances of “oh they are all as bad as each other over there” are now void! What now are we left with?
Does it really make much difference that the rest of the world know that the main reason for our troubles hear are that a significant proportion of the population adhere to or at least are ambivalent to small minded, backward, hillbilly concepts of prejudice and intolerance? And I include those who on the nationalist side who use the veil of patriotism to mask their own intolerance to anything British or even compromise. I think It does.
And this brings me to my dilemma, I don’t want to see our international reputation damaged or companies to lose contracts or jobs because of this but I am afraid that that ambivalent part of unionist society (who would seem to be the only ones with influence over the quack pots) must wake up to the fact that these views are damaging our society and that unless they start standing up against this nasty aspect and begin to form a bulwark against it then it will continue to pervade and hinder everything we do here.
Trying to disguise from your family or friends that your partner is an alcoholic and beats you behind closed doors ultimately does not help the victim or the alcoholic. Even though we may lose friends who will no longer visit, the most loving and kind thing to do is to remove the illusion that everything is ‘normal’ and try and help the alcoholic to accept that they really do have a problem which is affecting and damaging everybody, so that they can get help to change. Similarly I will not be apprehensive about the world seeing the nasty side of life here even if it costs jobs because ultimately if we love our fellow countrymen enough we should be willing to accept such a cost in the hope that it will help the decent people sitting on the fence to say “enough is enough, things are wrong and have to change”!
At the beginning of the peace process I had hoped that I would not have to explain to my children that there are people in our country who hate them and would like to see them harmed because they are Catholic or that other people are disliked or distrusted because they are, black, foreign or Muslim. Alas it would seem that such hopes are still a long way off!

It comes as no surprise that there is no universal demand for the resignation of the First Minister or that the proposed resignation of one M.L.A. is subordinate to vested political and economic interests. What will prove to be problematic for all fundamentalists is the ongoing debate on Christianity, Islam, colonisation, partition and racism. The silence of many church leaders and the utterances of others on racism leaves a lot to be desired. Can one be a Christian and a racist? There is an urgent need to question a false understanding of race based on skin colour, hair or facial shape and other stereotypes. Stereotypes may accommodate anxiety and fear they certainly do not aid analysis and acceptance of other cultures.

please do have a look at the video I published in my last post
http://eurofree3.wordpress.com/2014/05/31/i-go-to-the-shops-for-peter/
It cuts through so much of the confusion and guff!!

Oh hey – love it, bm! I must tweet it…

thanks Jude,please do pass the word along –
I am ever more convinced that what NI needs, – particularly what Loyalists need, – is grassroots education in civics and civil rights to bring them up to EU/USA standards. Then a rational debate might be able to start.
Anybody interested in drawing up a project, applying for funding and doing it?

Ben : That video is so profoundly clear-headed. The message of religion is always about “control”. It’s usually men’s control of women but it is also extended to the church’s control of the immediate society , usually by means of fear or latent bullying.
There may have been something of a cultural revolution in Southern Ireland in the last twenty years but a lot of its lessons have not filtered through to many in Northern Ireland.
Religion should always be a private indulgence and not allowed to impinge on state laws……by law. That video should be shown and debated in every classroom at school.
William Fay June 1, 2014 at 2:06 pm #
When we hear Kyle Paisley referring to the lack of moral fibre in the other senior members of the DUP, I couldn’t help but giggle. Can someone advise me of how often Paisley senior was challenged by members of the party over the last forty years prior to the coup. I really can’t think of one, and if there were any challenges, I’ve no doubt they were soon removed from the party. It was senior who helped put us on the road to destruction, so I can only presume it’s another moment of forgetfulness from the Paisley family, senior was the biggest bigot of them all.
paddykool June 1, 2014 at 2:39 pm #
William :
I have to agree wholeheartedly. What always got me was the total “irony bypass” in his followers. There was always a mixture of hero- worship and fear though.
. Maybe Kyle, like Junior didn’t see what dad did back when they were little kiddies. Dad always had that “hate the sin, love the sinner” lot of old guff , down pat. Anyone sentient , back when dad was in his bigoted , guldering pomp, would have no doubt how the fires of bigotry were being stoked by his every television appearance . For any of us that lived through it Pastor McConnell is only continuing on with the macabre and mean -spirited nonsense. It’s what really got the Troubles afire. The fact that most mindful people would put Paisley’s and McConnell’s behaviour in the same bracket as those “violent muslims ” and all the other ones”they couldn’t trust” seems to have passed them by. Their very nemesis is themselves in a mirror!!
I imagine the Paisley progeny have a bee in their collective bonnet because Robinson has stolen what they see as their rightful inheritance and this is a really good time to give him a swift kick.. Robinson’s real sin is that he let the racist, bigoted cat out of the bag in an era of profoundly more intrusive communications. The horror and every move , is right there for the world media and all of us, to poke through the bones and dissect .
We all know what his “non apology” really means. He’s just been found wanting in an unarguable position. No one can really believe that the First Minister of an administration of any kind other than say North Korea, would be so politically naive and outright foolish , to air such madly indefensible racist thoughts for all to see…
Well he did …and we all saw it , so what is going to be done about it and all those mad , misogynistic, racist and bigoted buggers .
Can anyone bear to be near all that horror?

Exclusive Excerpt: Defending Chloe
With: Susan Stoker
Giveaway Alert!
Chloe had never thought she’d be sitting on the floor playing War with someone like Ro. He wasn’t the kind of man who she’d thought would have the patience to sit for hours and play the monotonous and somewhat boring game. But somehow it wasn’t boring playing with Ro.
She’d laughed more than she had in the last three years. Ro was a poor loser, and when he got down to having only seven cards, he’d scowled at them, and at her, and pouted. But then they’d had a tie, and he’d won an ace back from her, and he’d quickly won back most of the cards he’d recently lost.
In the past, if someone had scowled at her like Ro had, she would’ve been more than a little leery, but instead she’d mocked and teased him for being a poor loser. And remarkably, he’d taken her teasing without complaint, and then crowed when he began winning once more.
Chloe knew what he was doing, and she didn’t mind. She knew he was trying to relax her, to make her stop thinking so much about her brother and what had happened. She actually appreciated his efforts. Lord knew she’d just about reached the end of her rope. She’d gone from being completely sure she’d landed in another awful situation that morning to being entirely relaxed by the time the sun had set.
Some might say she wasn’t being smart, but Chloe knew better. Ro wasn’t like her brother or his friends. She’d been around him long enough to be able to tell the difference. She might’ve been freaked out that morning, but she felt as if she’d had good reason. Leaving her alone, and giving her the tools to take off if she wanted to, had done exactly what Ro had hoped it would. It had made her trust him.
Chloe laughed when he lost another tiebreaker, and she won back one of the two aces he had in his pile.
“Bloody hell,” he swore under his breath as she collected the cards gleefully.
She heard the dryer buzz in the background and blushed anew. She really needed to stop being embarrassed about doing laundry, but it was obvious that Ro hadn’t thought about the fact she wasn’t wearing anything under her new clothes until Ally had mentioned using the washer and dryer. She’d seen his eyes drop to her chest and hips before he’d looked away.
Instead of feeling embarrassed or creeped out by him looking at her, it had aroused her. Which shocked Chloe. How had she gone from feeling totally disassociated from her body and not wanting any man near her, to wanting Ro to touch her? All over?
Standing, Chloe said, “I’ll go and get that.” She motioned to the laundry room with her head.
“Are you seriously going to take your cards with you?” Ro asked.
She mock-glared down at him. “Uh, yeah. The last time I got up, you stole an ace from my stack,” she scolded.
“I did no such thing,” Ro said with wide, innocent eyes.
Chloe’s lips twitched. He was the worst liar. At least, he was pretending to be the worst liar. “Whatever,” she told him as she headed for the dryer.
“Want something to eat?” Ro called out behind her.
Chloe turned. It was late. They’d stopped and had sandwiches for dinner, but she was hungry again. It was dark outside, and she was used to staying up way past midnight at the strip club. She wasn’t ready to go to bed yet; besides, she was winning the game again. “Do you have any junk food?” she asked a little shyly. Yes, she knew she shouldn’t eat snack foods, but it had been so long since she’d indulged.
“I think I can rustle something up,” Ro said dryly. “Go on. Get your clothes. But don’t dally. I’ve got a lucky streak coming. I can feel it.”
DEFENDING CHLOE
Title: Defending Chloe
Author: Susan Stoker
Publisher: Montlake Romance
Gorgeous women don’t just stumble onto Ronan Cross’s remote property. But this one—vulnerable, victimized, and needing the kind of help only Ronan can offer—tells a story that makes his blood boil almost as hot as his need to protect her.
Since her father’s death, Chloe Harris has become a prisoner. Her own brother, a flesh peddler and low-level player in the Denver Mafia, is forcing her to sell her body for an endgame Chloe never saw coming: control over a vast fortune. Her only way out is to run—straight into the arms of the one hard-bodied man she can trust.
Defending Chloe could rain punishment down on the Mountain Mercenaries. Her brother has Mob connections and the local police in his pocket. But Ronan still has an edge—the unshakable loyalty of his deadly teammates. As well as an unquenchable thirst for retribution…and Chloe.
Susan Stoker is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose series include Ace Security, Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes, SEAL of Protection, Unsung Heroes: Delta Force, and Mountain Mercenaries.

7 Jewish Feminist Highlights of 2015
2015 is leaving us with too much violence and a world that needs much repair. For me, the hateful murder of Shira Banki at the Jerusalem Pride Parade in August and the National Women’s Studies Association’s noxious BDS resolution were two Jewish feminist low points of this secular year. But other, joyous moments have helped me keep the faith that Jewish feminism can and does make a difference by doing the work of tikkun olam in Jewish worlds, in feminist movements, and in the world entire. So in keeping with that spirit, I offer my top 7 Jewish feminist moments of 2015 (and, of course, 7 is the number associated with creation and blessing in Jewish tradition!).
1) Rebecca Goldstein, who has embodied and given literary life to “mind-proud” women throughout her career, was awarded the National Humanities Medal. If you haven’t yet read The Mind-Body Problem, Mazel (winner of the National Jewish Book Award), or 36 Arguments for the Existence of God, treat yourself to the words and the worlds of a brilliant writer.
2) Another one of my sheroes, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice and graduate of Brooklyn’s James Madison High School (my alma mater), was recognized with the Radcliffe Medal, given “to an individual who has had a transformative impact on society.” This “tiger justice,” of course, was a key vote in the landmark decision legalizing gay marriage. And the publication of Notorious RGB (and the upcoming film version of this legal titan’s life starring Natalie Portman) is a sign that intelligent life and popular culture can and do coexist.
3) Mishkan HaNefesh, the new Reform High Holiday Jewish prayer book inclusive of Jewish feminist and queer theologies, was released this year. And the cover is made from recycled materials, so it honors the earth as well as Jews who are as varied as the rainbow.
4) Lesléa Newman’s classic children’s book Heather Has Two Mommies celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a new edition that was widely and wonderfully feted by the press. Advocate even featured Newman’s own love letter to the book.
5) Brandeis University acquired Lilith’s archives, thus ensuring that the wisdom of the publication that has celebrated mouthy Jewish women since 1976 will be transmitted from generation to generation. Lilith also garnered three Rockower Awards from the American Jewish Press Association: Susan Talve’s “Find Your Fergusons” was awarded first place in the category of Excellence in Social Justice Reporting, Leah Lax’s “One Woman’s Resume” earned an award for Excellence in Personal Essay, and the Lilith Blog earned an award for Excellence in Blogging.
6) Letty Cottin Pogrebin, former editor of Ms. and author of the Jewish feminist classic Deborah, Golda, and Me published Single Jewish Male Seeking Soul Mate. A tagline for this novel of ideas might be “Black and Jewish Lives Matter.”
7) Deborah Kass’s “OY/YO” sculpture graced the Brooklyn Bridge Park (from Brooklyn, you see “OY”; from Manhattan, “YO”). Kass is also known for her “My Jewish Jackie Series” and “My Elvis,” her Warholish tributes to Barbra Streisand.
Helene Meyers is Professor of English and McManis University Chair at Southwestern University. Most recently, she is the author of Identity Papers: Contemporary Narratives of American Jewishness and is currently writing a book on Jewish American cinema.

I’m so grateful and honored to be on any list that includes the Notorious RBG — especially a list that’s only 7 items long! Thank you, Professor Meyers!
Bonnie Klein
I was shocked to read ini Helene Myers’ blog that the National Women’s Studies Association `noxious resolution’ about BDS was assumed to be a LOWPOINT in the 2015 feminist calendar! I am a longtime Lilith reader and supporter, and have noticed the glaring lack of dialogue about the Israel/Palestine `situation’ on Lilith’s pages. Is this an unspoken taboo? Are we feminists to buy the assertion that criticism of the current Israeli government is anti-Semitic treachery? Have we not insisted on our right to speak and be heard as women in dangerous conversations? Is it disloyal to seek synchrony between our feminist beliefs in equality and justice, and our identity as Jews? I would like to hear more from Lilith about its editorial position on Israel and the silencing of Jewish voices of dissent, including support of the non-violent tactic of BDS.

World Bank to prioritise climate change resilience in Pacific
07:28, July 8, 2019
The World Bank will prioritise climate change resilience when working with Australia and New Zealand on their Pacific engagement programmes.
Its vice president for East Asia and the Pacific, Victoria Kwakwa, was in Tonga last week for talks.
Ms Kwakwa said the World Bank was working closely within Australia's Step Up and New Zealand's Pacific Reset programmes.
"We've been working on several things including supporting countries to strengthen their climate change resilience, working to support policy reforms to build their economic resilience and we're also working together on the connectivity agenda," Ms Kwakwa said.
"As you know, this region is very remote, even compared to other small island states."
After meetings with private sector representatives, Ms Kwakwa said the World Bank would also look at safeguarding businesses from climate disasters.
"That's something that we need to look at. What are the other insurance products that we can bring to the table that help the private sector to safeguard their investment, their businesses and so on?"

The ratio of misery to mercy is decidedly skewed in The Revenant, a brutal frontier drama set in 1820s America. Yet it is this very sparseness that ultimately makes the movie a potent meditation on benevolence, that most mysterious of human gestures. You can count the acts of mercy here on one hand, but they reverberate all the more for appearing in a world seemingly devoid of such a concept.
The Revenant opens in the midst of a fur-trading expedition, where director Alejandro González Iñárritu immediately immerses us in the grimy, ghastly particulars of this time and place. Dirt, entrails, greasy hair — it all mixes on the riverbank where the trappers are skinning animals, preparing for the long journey home. This industrious mess, however, is nothing compared to the bloodbath that ensues when a band of Native Americans suddenly attacks. Arrows thunk against trees and sickeningly tear into skin. Men grapple on the ground, snorting out their last breaths. Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, fresh off the single-take showmanship of Birdman, recreate something similar here, weaving in and out of the chaos for minutes on end without a noticeable cut. Whatever “cheating” there might have been with the camerawork snuck past my eye; like the opening of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, the sequence is a masterstroke of sustained, seamless and cinematically coherent panic.
Only a small group of traders survives the assault. Among them is Andrew Henry (Domhnall Gleeson), an out-of-his-element captain; John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), a cruel and coarse trapper for hire; and Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), a scraggly tracker. Wounded, hungry and lost, they and a handful of others wander a gorgeous but frigidly indifferent landscape. Everything they experience — frozen rivers, jagged outcroppings, their own wounds — suggests they have no business being alive.
This includes, above all, the grizzly bear that Glass encounters while hunting in the woods. In an excruciating, elongated scene, Glass is clawed, bitten and thrown about as the camera impassively watches. It doesn’t even bother to move when the bear’s giant maw approaches, with drool dripping and foggy breath clouding the lens. It’s an astonishing King Kong moment — we’re shocked by the sheer ferocity of unbridled nature — and Glass is left on the verge of death.
A moral debate follows, as Glass’ companions must decide whether to shoot him to relieve him of his pain; to abandon him to an uncertain fate; or to lug him on a stretcher at the risk of slowing down their pace. The decision ultimately falls to Hardy’s Fitzgerald, whose wild eyes and unhinged evocations of God recall a combination of Klaus Kinski’s deranged explorer in Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Robert Mitchum’s sadistic preacher in The Night of the Hunter. It’s no spoiler to say Glass is left for dead under questionable circumstances, as the majority of the film charts his improbable recovery and unlikely survival as he crawls, stumbles and grimaces his way back to civilization.
We’re shocked by the sheer ferocity of unbridled nature.
If Glass’ quest seems incredulous, especially as he performs one death-defying feat after another, that’s not necessarily a weakness. The Revenant has an ethereal aura, one that suggests Glass has passed over into a place between life and death. He experiences otherworldly visions, which sometimes meld with flashbacks, where we learn that he had a child with a Native American and that both suffered greatly during a village attack. Then there are two instances in the film in which Glass seems to breathe his last and we get a point-of-view shot of the trees above him, reaching up to the sky. The wind roars and the trees oddly quiver. Is this the passing of his spirit? “Revenant,” after all, can refer to both a person who returns, and a person who returns as a ghost.
There is an unearthly nature to the camerawork as well. Beyond evoking an unbroken sense of immediacy, as it does in that opening assault sequence, Iñárritu and Lubezki’s preference for long, unbroken takes suggests an omniscient sort of observance. But rather than the compassionate gaze we get in something like Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire, this is a deist point of view: the camera is perhaps mildly interested in what these dirty men are up to, but it’s just as likely to pan away from their struggling to take in something else. There is a wonderful shot, after Glass has ridden his horse off a cliff in a desperate attempt to escape pursuing Native Americans, in which the camera floats over the giant spruce he has disappeared into and lingers there, observing the rippling evergreen leaves. Unlike us in the audience, it has no desire to immediately rush down below and see if Glass is OK.
This focus on fauna is one of the rare respites the movie provides. If I didn’t mind the extended running time — and certainly cuts could have been made — it’s because I was often content to soak up the eerily beautiful Lubezki-framed landscapes, from a forest of trees that sprout mossy green spikes to golden leaves that are encased in ice. This may be frontier America, but it feels older, primordial — like a place humans aren’t yet meant to be.
So where is the mercy? Mostly in minor gestures that seemingly mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Passing through a massacred Native American village, where corpses lie rotting among rooting pigs, one of the younger traders (Will Poulter) notices a traumatized woman peeking out of a hut. Rather than alert his companion, he gently places a parcel of meat within her reach. Later, in his woeful wanderings, Glass comes across a lone Native American scavenging from a buffalo that had been downed by wolves. In a reverse gesture, he tosses a hunk of bloody muscle Glass’ way. These are miraculous acts of mercy, from one human to another. Sometimes, though, benevolence is as simple as a little creek of desperately needed water, stubbornly flowing between two frozen, snowy banks. Given all of the callousness The Revenant shows us, you have to wonder: why, in this dismal, Darwinian world, does such mercy exist at all?

RV/MH Hall of Fame Devises Plan to Keep Rolling
April 11th, 2011 Matthew Silver
Following up on a story from April 6 about returning the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana, to solvency, RV Business reports several proposals are being considered to keep the doors open. One of the plans involves condensing the vintage RVs into a smaller space, and allowing up to 25,000 square feet for weddings, graduations, conventions and other private events, making it one of the larger event spaces in the area. The 25 acres east of the Hall could be developed to draw outdoor events and RV shows. In addition, Camping World’s president offered to invest $325,000 in the facility in exchange for having space to sell RV accessories in the building. Another idea is to sell the building and lease it back from the new owner. The Hall is nearly $5 million in debt. The RV/MH Heritage Foundation that oversees the Hall of Fame will consider all the options.

Graham Humphreys' stunning artwork for Horror Channel FrightFest 2017
Horror Channel FrightFest is delighted to present Graham Humphreys’ stunning artwork for this year’s annual Bank Holiday event, the UK’s largest celebration of genre cinema, taking place at Cineworld Leicester Square and The Prince Charles Cinema between Thurs Aug 24 & Mon Aug 28, 2017.
Celebrating a return to one of FrightFest’s former homes (The Empire) and the revival of some familiar characters to the festival line up, such as Chucky, Victor Crowley & Leatherface. were inspirations behind the concept.
Graham reveals: “My image is an attempt to amalgamate the Gothic roots of horror with the 70s Monster revival that saturated the US and UK, inspiring generations of filmmakers that created some of the most successful film franchises and oddities of the last 40 years. Universal monsters meets 70s bubble gum pop. I also thought it would be fun to play with the idea of a FrightFest Phantom, the face behind the best in horror and added the scratches and dirt to make it look like old damaged film stock.”

Woven Debuts Haptic, Their Debut Collection of Hand-Woven Rugs
By Michelle Konsta... / 11/07/16 at 4:46 pm / Comments
A good rug can be hard to find. That's why the experts at Woven (formerly known as Woven Accents) always have their audience in mind, helping clients feel engaged and connected to the buying process so they end up with something original, special, and truly one-of-a-kind.
This month, the brand is changing more than just their name. The team is launching a new brand called Studio Woven, creating unique pieces that integrate a variety of cultural and regional references through a range of techniques and materials. The brand's debut series, Haptic, introduces a cohesive collection that showcases the rugs' rich textures and designs.
We asked Sam Moradzadeh, Principal of Woven and Creative Director at Studio Woven some specifics on the new and improved brand and all its new ventures.
Sam Moradzadeh, Principal of Woven and Creative Director at Studio Woven, Christina Tullock Design Director of Woven and Ginna Christensen, the creative minds behind Studio Woven.
Why the change from Woven Accents to Woven?
We wanted the name to better reflect who we are as a brand. Our design philosophy is not about decoration for decoration sake. It is grounded, elemental, cultured, and we feel the new name also reflects that.
Tell us about the Studio Woven series.
The name Studio Woven conveys that there is a team at work behind the scenes, as opposed to a singular brand name designer. It’s our intention with Studio Woven that our hand woven designed rugs intertwine ideas and cultures. Each rug is inspired and informed by the antique and vintage rugs that make up the majority of our collection of over 6,000 rugs. We have strived to create a series of modern classics where West Coast vitality meets Eastern tradition to create 21-century rugs that create a feeling of home, culture and comfort.
Guests admire Woven's new line at the Haptic launch party.
Tell us a bit about the debut series, Haptic.
Haptic is of or relating to the sense of touch, in particular relating to the perception and manipulation of objects using the senses of touch and proprioception Series ‘Haptic’ introduces six rugs, Alaia, Kai, Mas, Noah, Suku and Won. The primary focus of these rugs is the play on texture and fiber, combined with modern color combinations that heighten the overall designs of the rugs. All rugs are customizable in weave, size and color.
Alaia in Ivory
Mas in Ebony
Suku in Pale
What was the most fun part of the process in developing the Studio Woven series?
Probably merging my background in antique rugs with Christina’s (Design Director of Woven) passion for modernism.
Won in Mood
Noah in Grey
The Woven team.
What are your top three tips for a first time antique rug buyer?
Buy what you love.
Are there any major “don’ts” people should avoid when picking a rug (color, texture, etc.)?
Try to avoid ‘of the moment trends’ and concentrate on what will make you happiest in your daily life.

Piano Trio Survey
Gerard Hoffnung
Plain text for smartphones
and printers
Support us financially by purchasing this disc from:
Nikolai MEDTNER (1880-1951)
Complete Piano Sonatas: 1
Sonatina in G minor (1898) [7:29]
Sonata no.1 in F minor, op.5 (1895-1903) [35:26]
Sonata-Reminiscenza in A minor, op.38 no.1 (?1919-22) [15:27]
Paul Stewart (piano)
rec. Chapelle Historique du Bon-Pasteur, Montreal, Canada, 20-23 December 2011. DDD
GRAND PIANO GP617 [58:22]
Nikolai Medtner's Sonata-Reminiscenza is one of eight substantial pieces published as his opp.38, 39 and 40, with the overall title of Forgotten Melodies. That would almost make a pithy hic jacet for a composer whose deeply imaginative, poignantly beautiful piano works make his historical neglect as bizarre as it is scandalous.
Canadian pianist Paul Stewart sets out to right some wrongs with this first of four volumes on Grand Piano dedicated to Medtner's fourteen Piano Sonatas. In his informative, well researched notes he points up both the diminutive nature of the Medtner discography and the fact that some recordings "are based on editions that contain misprints and other errors".
For his recital Stewart, a long-time champion of Medtner's music, plays a restored period Steinway actually performed on by the composer himself in 1929 in Montreal. Its tone is well worth hearing, especially in the fine audio on offer here, and Stewart's even more so: he gives an authoritative, expressive and thoroughly listener-friendly reading of Medtner's works, leaving a strong sense of anticipation for the remaining volumes.
Though an early work, the First Piano Sonata in F minor is a glorious, passionate work of writhing melodies and wistful harmony, quite possibly an ode to his brother's, and his own future, wife. The Sonata-Reminiscenza in A minor is Medtner's Tenth Sonata, and his most performed. Rightly so too: like much of Medtner's piano music, it calls to mind a less sombre, more emotionally 'stable' Rachmaninov - who referred to him, incidentally, as "the greatest composer of our time". Flowingly imaginative, the nostalgia of the title morphs into haunting melancholy - no coincidence that Medtner was about to leave his native Russia for good. The brief Sonatina is a bagatelle by comparison, but very agreeable in a similar kind of way. It was not published until 1981, and its two-movement structure suggests that Medtner had not quite finished with it.
This CD, like all those released by Grand Piano in its first year, features a cover painting by the Norwegian artist Gro Thorsen, which if nothing else adds to the collectibility of the series. One minor complaint about Grand Piano, however: for emphatically full-price discs, the running times are often on the short side. Another 22 welcome minutes' worth of Medtner would have fitted on here.

Picking a bone with campus media
Universities are full of brilliant, smart, and interesting individuals. From societies to lecture discussions, one is bound to impress with the sharpness of their wit and their alternative take on facts and information. Why isn't this clearly reflected in campus newspapers?
This isn't a thorough analysis of academic media and their coverage of events, but an observation I've made over the past few years.
Taking in consideration Halifax-based papers like The Dalhousie Gazette and The Watch (University of King's College), one can notice, with enough comparison, that important elements of news are lacking along with important ethical considerations.
The Dalhousie Gazette prides itself with a constant and thorough coverage of local issues and student-related dilemmas. Great. But the lack of diversity represented either in pictures or in stories could be potentially dangerous for the weekly-mag who's mandate is to represent the Dalhousie student population. From left to right, a range of people are looking to tell their stories, and they're all from different backgrounds. Go on, people.
Unless these stories are told by wannabes.
I have NOTHING against people who enjoy writing and trying out a little journalism here and there. Heck, that's probably exactly what I'm doing being a semi-non-experienced rookie. But, I strongly believe in important, ethical and fact-based coverage -- something that is not taught to new students volunteering their time and effort to campus media.
Last week, I contacted the author of a story because I was to take a picture to tag along with her piece. When asked if I could attend one of her interviews and snap a few shots, she replied that she had done all the interviews by e-mail.
Simple. You write up all your questions, send them off, and give your subject three to four days to type up answers that will make them sound good, research the stuff they didn't know and edit their vocabulary for neutrality.
As we've been taught in J-school, e-mailing shouldn't even be considered an interview. Sure, you're more than welcome to get in touch with your subject through cyber-web businazz as you wish, but why the hell would you not walk three blocks to sit in their office and quiz them on what they truly know? Or just to get a simple answer.
Why are campus media not showing people how to report? Journalism for Dummies? JOUR 101?
I applaud the Gazette's editors for dealing with a huge amount of etiquette mishaps along with missed deadlines and a lack of reporters. Most of them are friends, acquaintances and fellow journos. But it pains me to think that their beautiful editorial work is put the shame by a lack of understanding of serious issues and a thorough coverage of events.
Yes, editors write too. Yes, they pick stories, edit them, publish if they like and trash if they don't. But why, why, why are contributors not shown the basics? Even just a set of ground rules?
Even with a little teaching, I'm 100% sure the Gazette could go a long way, because they already have.
I'm not a professional, but I'd suggest 1. Diversity 2. Interviewing ethics 3. Photos that make sense 4. Events are not stories, they're blurbs. Unless there's SOMETHING HAPPENING or SOMEONE DOING SOMETHING INTERESTING, don't make it a 300 word gangbuster.

Crazy Like a Foxbolt, Part 10
Previously, on MinerBumping... The saga of Admiral Foxbolt continued, as continue it must. Foxbolt was down, but not out. Though permabanned on his primary account, he used an alt to disseminate extensive logs of his petitions to CCP. He claimed that the logs contained evidence that he was given the authority to conduct "player retention and human relations" services on CCP's behalf. Indeed, the petitions show that Foxbolt presented his plans to CCP. But so far, without an encouraging word in reply. Without waiting for approval, Foxbolt simply announced he was going ahead with his project.
On a side note..... if you will recall a cyber-bullying incident back in 2012 regarding Goons Alliance leader "The Mittani" in which he gave out the personal information of another player... which resulted in the player being harassed in real life. His name was "The Wis".... I am the CEO of this corp, and I was "The Wis" first CEO....
How your company didn't take a massive legal hit over this injustice is beyond me, and why "The Mittani" is still being allow to harass EVE players after his stunt... allowed by CCP is beyond me. But I'm going to look past all of this "fowl behavior" and I'm going to focus on helping CCP do some good in people's lives by helping CCP maintain their player retention hold, so you can keep more access to income to make this game better as the years go by...... I'm a good guy, I mean well....
The petition in which Foxbolt announced his intention to move forward with his plans took a sharp detour. Our hero took a moment to banish the shadow of his memories of dreaded cyber-bully The Mittani. Foxbolt was willing to help CCP, even though CCP hadn't banned The Mittani yet.
Good Morning to the Wonderful Staff of CCP,
Today is my first official working business day within my new LLC created purely as a third party to support your product "EVE ONLINE". I would like to remind your staff that I am in no way making personal income off your company in a vindictive, shady, and or corrupt manner as I am fully hoping and expecting for my business to be supported by my corp members who willingly give of their own accord.
Still no word from CCP. Foxbolt filed yet another follow-up petition to formally announce the grand opening of his business. Though Foxbolt intended to make personal income off of his project, he clarified that it wouldn't be in a vindictive, shady, or corrupt manner. His corp members would give him real-life money, but only because they wanted to.
Any money received through the monthly support of corp members will be put towards the monthly salary of my staff. Staff that will be working for my company either full-time or part-time being fully committed to helping new players that enter your product, and my prediction is your player-retention level will improve over time, thus CCP company's income wallet will improve over time.
Foxbolt promised that his corp would be run with a level of transparency that would make even the New Order of Highsec blush with envy. All donations would go to his staff, which at present consisted of himself.
Other funds will also go towards corp based real-world events that will help improve the social and emotional connection of corp members. Funds will also be directed towards creating fan based items such as flight-jackets for members that take part in our leadership team whom have taken part in helping "Battlestar Gaming, LLC" with recruiting within EVE, and whom have also assisted with the retention levels, thus in return again... help CCP income wallet.
After giving all money to his staff, the leftover money(?!) would also be put to good use. Be honest, dear reader: You wish you had a New Order flight jacket, don't you?
Why am I doing this some of you may ask??? Because I want to give back..... In the giving back to CCP,..... (tears form in my eyes from my emotional expression at this time)..... Seven years ago I stumble into EVE ONLINE within a Best Buy store, and my life forever changed. I found a platform, a virtual world unlike any other with the tools needed to create a world in which I could help people, and building meaningful and lasting, meaningful, and sustainable friendships. So for the past 7-years I have been pushing and fighting through the emotional process of failures and moments of success in learning the art of being an EVE CEO......
Not to gloss over the powerful story about Foxbolt's emotional journey or anything, but--you can get EVE Online from Best Buy?
No one has responded to my tickets as of yet..... my guess is you guys are talking it over and or your waiting to see what happens. I'll say this.... if given the full blessing of CCP, verses living in the fears that my accounts will be banned..... if given a chance to succeed by CCP..... I will not let this company down if my corp members find me worthy enough to support my company that supports my family being able to support the CCP company and their product that can truly help a hurting world all around them.
Foxbolt's correspondence with CCP was growing increasingly one-sided.
Our corp relaunched two days ago...... We already have 5-members saying that if we didn't find them and recruit them, they wouldn't have played past the 14-day trail. That's $75 my company just helped CCP earn.... One guy even paid for a 6-month installment. I asked one guy why he joined our corp, and he said that he struggled with depression... our "Mission Statement" on our website drew him in, thus we again... helped CCP with retention and money flow.
I know I'm a nobody to CCP right now... but I'm a dreamer. here's to hoping for great things to happen between our two companies.
Foxbolt's latest report was encouraging. He claimed to have retained several players by recruiting them to the latest version of his corporation, BATTLESTAR FEDERATION. Not to say he didn't, but EveWho contains no records of anyone joining the corp besides Foxbolt.
NOTE: This was created on support ticket (56269). I'm trying to keep both updated with my company's progress while consistently seeking CCP's approval and blessing to keep going. Once again, please be advised that all of this should be combined with support ticket (54517).
Another day, another petition. In case you were wondering, no, not all 56,269 petitions were created by Foxbolt.
CCP,
Yesterday while working as a 3rd party employee from "Battlestar Gaming, LLC" (that helps CCP with their retention efforts) in which I am assigned as a full-time EVE ONLINE "Corp Commander" as a full-time job, I recruited 10 New Players. I believe 6 of them paid for subscriptions. That's another $90 I just encouraged and directed towards CCP's wallet. Here's the kicker... that was just me by myself. I don't even have a recruitment team up that I put through a recruiting training course that took me 2-years to design. Not only do I know how to recruit effectively, how to convince people to stay in EVE after the 14-day trail. but I know how to inspire and encourage people to want to bring others into the fold.
Already, Foxbolt's enterprise was showing results. One imagines it was almost enough to make CCP wish they'd authorized it. But Foxbolt's true potential would only be unleashed once his initial recruits made it through a training course that took two years to design. Alas, Foxbolt never made public the harrowing details of that program.
I just did the math and I ran around 6-years worth of payments along with around $1000 in plexs over the years... I have invested well over $2,000 into the "BLANK" toon. I have deleted many toons, but "BLANK" is the only one I am requesting back for business related purposes that involve doing my part to help CCP with their product "EVE ONLINE".
Now that Foxbolt had done something for CCP, it was time for them to do a little something for him. Admiral Foxbolt wasn't the only character that Foxbolt had biomassed. His main character had been biomassed (repeatedly), and he wanted it back, since it contained a staggering amount of PLEXed isk. Though Foxbolt redacted the name of his main from these logs, we later learn that the character referred to was Joseph Grafton.
That money investment over the years doesn't even involve the unseen emotional and mental involvement that has been invested in learning the role and art of virtual leadership in the role of CEO in EVE. Do any of you have any idea the toll it plays on a person who is determined to chase a dream and to get up after each failure, after each time he unintentionally let people down because of the stress in being a law enforcement officer in real life, while coming home at the end of the day trying to run an EVE corp.... trying to meet the emotional and mental needs of people who desperately desire love and care as human beings..... do you hear the emotions in my voice.... my corp members will support my business that can support a powerful cause for CCP, and feed my family.
Interestingly, though Foxbolt repeatedly stressed the importance of the character, he apparently never used it as part of this business, and attempted to conceal its identity by redacting it from the logs he'd made public.
This is the 5th relaunch of "Battlestar Federation" and on day 3 I have already recruited 20 people, and 10 have already cleared our corp created training, and they are excited about being in a virtual community with a leader who actually gives a shit about them as a human being behind the keyboard. My toon "BLANK" has been apart of my process in becoming an asset for CCP that is driven to do my part to helping CCP keep EVE on top of the market....... (fuck Star Citizen...serious fuck them)
Mentions of Star Citizen occur with surprising frequency in Foxbolt's petitions to CCP. Don't be surprised if a player-retention specialist eventually appears in that game, too.
Last time I was in EVE when I was trying to find a way to do this as a full-time job, and I offered up an idea to create a full-time team to run the corp.... and someone decides to go to reddict.com and stain my name..... I was pissed!!! Fuck Yeah I quit... I said FUCK EVE and these assholes.... and I determined to never come back. I lite a match to a 200-man corp, and said "Fuck It".... 2-months later I got a member contacting me through facebook asking me to come back and rethink my ideas.... so here I am... "I'm BACK!!!" Supporting CCP and their fucking rollercoster-emotional-nut-job product called EVE ONLINE!!! ......... (calming down for a moment).....
Say what you will about Foxbolt, the man knows how to keep his emotions in check. He calmed down without needing an Agent of the New Order to tell him to.
I am an honest person.... I get so much hell for it. But I'm not going to change the good in me to appease the evil in others. I know big wigs in other alliances steal and harass other players (your customers base) and they rob people of billions in isk. I know they use this isk to make personal income by selling it for lower prices on websites behind scenes. And you know what, more power to them if they wanta do stupid and shady shit behind CCP's back. They'll get what they deserve in the end....... HOWEVER..... You've got this guy (me) who is determined to fight through all the red-tape, driven by love to fulfill a passion to help others on a social and emotional level through your product. (EVE)
I'm not joking.... I literally wish I could hug every CCP designer who plays an active role in keeping EVE alive.
Foxbolt sent more love CCP's way. But even after all this, CCP maintained its silence. Would the elusive CCP Cid ever appear? Would CCP finally grant Foxbolt's corp the legitimacy it so richly deserved?

Kills of the Week
Suppose your friend owes you money and he splurges on some frivolous and expensive purchase instead of paying you back. Not a good situation. That's how our Agents feel when they see a carebear flashing bling in highsec when he still owes 10 million isk for a permit! With your sense of right and wrong newly refreshed, review the kills of these decadent carebears from the week of November 22nd @ 00:00 EVEtime through November 28th @ 23:59 EVEtime.
KILLMAIL
There are a lot of ways to haul faction gear through Uedama. japoke72 was too clever to use a freighter. He opted for an exceedingly fail-fit faction battleship. Our Agents love to shoot ships that can shoot back, so they thought they would have a go at PvP'ing this battleship. Unfortunately, it was AFK. Agents Sasha Cohenberg, BAE B BLUE, Aaaarrgg, Yabba Dabba Do, Zappi, Sophia Soprano, loyalanon, Talon Calais, Pod-Goo RepoWoman, Zapper, BAE B PEW, KBKspawnwrath666, Nuclear Fusion Caution, Nelli Alariel, Pod-Goo Repairman, Schizz Popinov, and SynthiaGreey enjoyed PvP'ing with him anyway. To the carebear's 4 billion isk Nightmare loss, they generously added half a billion isk in implants.
Among the more cautious haulers, cloaky blockade runners are all the rage. Vedasa had 3.5 billion isk of cargo to move, so she bought a Viator. Unfortunately, she was too lazy to fit it with a covert ops cloak, opting for a prototype cloak instead. That might sound like a terrible mistake, but you needn't worry about Vedasa: She was on autopilot and unable to activate her cloak anyway. Agent Tisiphone Dira put an end to her adventure.
I've heard it said that wars in EVE are all about inertia, but this is ridiculous. Steven Gary Riraille had over five and a half billion isk in compressed ore. Fate brought him to the Inaro system, which has acted like some sort of Bermuda Triangle of bot-aspirancy these days. Agent HotShotX Warcastle had no trouble piercing the industrial's less-than-robust defenses.
There's always someone who wants to test the theory that our Agents can't bring down a Skiff. Gallateya Zagluschko fit his Skiff so that it boasted far more hitpoints than most other mining vessels. Yet he, like so many bot-aspirants, couldn't resist using his lowslots for yield instead of tank. In hindsight, equipping billions of isk worth of ice harvesting upgrades was probably a mistake. Agents Aaaarrgg, Zappi, Zula Terra, loyalanon, Talon Calais, Sophia Soprano, BAE B BLUE, Pod-Goo Repairman, Pod-Goo RepoWoman, BAE B PEW, and Zapper offered the miner some timely and pointed advice. They also popped the his 2 billion isk pod.
D YOLO's philosophy: You Only Live Once. If so, why would someone jeopardize his life by taking unnecessary risks? For example, neglecting to buy a mining permit? Agent Street Urchin of Proper Mining Etiquette corp destroyed D YOLO's grotesque mining industrial. Unlike the other ships we've seen today, it wasn't expensive. On the other hand, can you put a price on dignity?
Just when you thought the highsec carebears might be exercising more restraint in their implant purchases, ALEXEY Jaynara contributed the Pod of the Week. His 3.7 billion isk crystal set and miscellaneous hardwirings were dissolved in a bath of antimatter, courtesy of Agent BAE B BLUE. ALEXEY, too, was caught flying an unlicensed Skiff.
By all means, miners, tank your ships. It's required. But don't forget your permit tank. Without it, the rest of your defenses are only for show.

Crazy Like a Foxbolt, Part 9
Previously, on MinerBumping... Rarely since the denunciation of Sejanus has a man suffered so great a reversal of fortune as Admiral Foxbolt. The duly appointed sheriff of the EVE community was master of all that he surveyed until his sudden and unexpected permaban. What could explain such a thing, he asked, other than CCP Falcon working as an undercover Goon to protect cyber-bully The Mittani? Yet skeptics questioned whether CCP Cid had ever actually given Foxbolt the keys to the kingdom. To prove his case, Foxbolt rolled a new account and mailed petition logs to everyone in Jita.
* I am requesting the approval of CCP to allow me to use EVE ONLINE as the primary gaming platform to support my LLC. My LLC supports human relations within the gaming community. My LLC wishes to use EVE for this mission, thus my LLC helps EVE maintain player-retention, thus CCP maintains monthly income.
Allowing the gaming community within EVE to give on their own accord will help my LLC support your company wallet. I am simply seeking CCP's blessing's on this project, and I can produce results that show CCP that I mean well if given a chance. (I mean, I'm here exposing exactly what I'm trying to do... not doing it behind CCP's back.) Please take a look at my site, and let me know what CCP thinks of the idea please.
It began in October. Foxbolt was full of enthusiasm for his new idea. He knew, however, that he needed CCP to bless it.
CCP, Please disregard my LLC idea. I have decided to go get a real world job and no to go forward with this project. I do not want to be viewed as going against EULA rules in anyway. Please close this support ticket at this time.
But barely more than an hour later, Foxbolt changed his mind and scrapped the whole project. The story might have ended there, were it not for GM Gamayur's response. It was, shall we say, somewhat flippant. Although I can't print the text of Garmayur's reply, you can use your imagination.
Good Morning GM Gamayur and CCP,
Someone do me a favor and send this reply to anyone you think would be interested in reading it, because I'm going to make it interesting to read.
Admiral Foxbolt was not pleased.
First..... I have been an EVE supporter long enough to suspect a bit of "SmartAssness" in GM Gamayur's manner regarding his mention of "being able to get a job within an hour and an a half". I don't take kindly to this, because it would seem that the GM assumes I'm playing games with my LLC idea to help CCP improve their product "EVE ONLINE". Because yes..... though your product is amazing in graphic design and structure, you're people-relations and monthly retention does remain in poor condition. This has not changed in all the years I've supported EVE, however I do have a plan to change this for the good of everyone even while mostly assholes behind keyboards rule most of EVE.
Foxbolt's sales pitch to CCP turned sour. He had no illusions about the EVE community, its leadership, or even its GMs.
I remember coming into EVE trying so badly to be in a corp that wasn't full of pricks that could be sustainable... I had a dream of meeting and knowing people through EVE for years, but over time your basic game features of mining, missions, and PVP would always hit the walls of boredom...
What does EVE have going for it's self??? Something amazing I think.... it is the perfect platform for improving human relations through gaming that can truly help people in real life. CCP has created a platform (EVE) that has all of the tools to improve humanity as a whole. But someone within the CCP team seems to not caught on to exactly how to deploy these tools.... but it's ok, I have the idea within me that is driven by "Love for my fellow man."
In fact, Foxbolt really didn't think much of EVE the game. He found it boring, really. Even so, Foxbolt saw potential. The game's true worth could be unlocked by the power of his love.
So what have I been doing since 2009 when I started supporting EVE??? I have been training, learning, failing, getting back up.... applying one learned lesson after another in learning the art of an EVE CEO, and somehow I learned the art of "Player Retention".
I HAD hoped that I'd receive the support and blessings of CCP with this project, but I keep getting EULA regs thrown at me from smartass and could give less a shit GM's.... and all of the fucking bullshit EULA red-tape is completely cock-blocking people that truly want to make a positive difference for others in EVE.
We only have access to the petition logs that Foxbolt made available to us. Reading between the lines here, it seems there was a much longer history of Foxbolt unsuccessfully pestering CCP to authorize his project.
So I've decided to not allow myself to be put into a position of having my accounts banned.... but my vision hasn't changed. I am going to improve human relations within EVE, and I suspect CCP will contact me one day asking me how I am able to maintain player retention so well with a product that does get boring overtime without the proper care and treatment of players as "Human Beings".
I love this product.... I love EVE.... I love the team within CCP that maintains and keeps EVE going..... (Besides smartass GM's) So "NO" GM Gamayur... I don't have a job at this time... but I still have a vision to help people through EVE, which will then help CCP maintain their player retention, which will then play a big part in insuring you still get a paycheck.
Foxbolt concluded his response. He foresaw a bright future for his enterprise: CCP would thank him one day, amazed by his success in keeping people subscribed to such a boring game. This time, Gamayur spared him the sarcasm and promised that the proposal would be reviewed.
GM Gamayur & CCP,
Thank you for well rounded and kind reply. Look, I am willing to come to any of your office's, even to Iceland if provided a round-trip ticket (Though I hate flying.) to present my idea's better in person.
Foxbolt then extended an incredibly generous offer: He'd let CCP give him a free trip to Iceland so he could explain his plan at CCP HQ. Thus saving Foxbolt the bother of winning a seat on the CSM.
(Perhaps this is what CCP Fozzie intended?)
I know I don't have everything figured out yet, but I do know the restrictions concerning EULA rules to allow a EVE CEO to run a personal business in real life in which the gaming community is allowed to support the personal business through heart-felt funding (not mandatory funding).... this red-tape is restricting people who wish to become full-time EVE CEO's. Thus this is restricting a EVE CEO from truly maintaining the care and treatment of the player community within EVE on a daily routine as a full-time job.
As long as he had CCP's attention, Foxbolt judged it a good time to discuss the money issue. Months earlier, his mandatory real-life corp fees had made him notorious on Reddit. Foxbolt still felt it was important to get paid, but he'd no longer make the fees mandatory.
Imagine if you could, ..... Those that truly wished to be full-time EVE ONLINE Virtual CEO's in physical reality. These virtual CEO's being allowed to be funded directly from their corp mates .... corp mates that give on their own accord freely to support a virtual leader that is able to support their virtual community.... their virtual family. People need this.
In the past, Foxbolt's corp members faced the problem of having insufficient time with Foxbolt. If he could run his corp as a full-time job, there would be enough Foxbolt to go around. People needed this.
I have met hundreds of people who do not have families, who do not have friends, or human relations support systems in physical reality. I have succeeded many times over in building up a corp that meant something to people... really meant something to them... and every time, because I had to work full-time in physical reality, I could not maintain the care of my people... and I have been forced many times over to see people hurt emotionally over the corp not being able to remain sustainable... all because I couldn't be what they truly needed.. a full-time EVE ONLINE Virtual CEO supported by my virtual community.
Like JTClone Ares, TDD Dominaters, and countless other highsec CEOs, Foxbolt's attempts to run carebear corps had always met with failure. It was because his corp members didn't pay him.
I can do this if given the proper permissions, the proper support, and the blessings of CCP.... I can truly make this work if given the chance. I can solve CCP's and EVE's retention issues.. I can help CCP save money, and grow far more then they ever thought was possible. One idea driven by the passion and love of one person can change the lives of millions..... I am that person. Please consider hearing me out further.
Listening to Foxbolt, it sounds like he thinks he's the Saviour of Highsec or something. What an ego.
Dear CCP,
As a follow up and being a man who believes in "Integrity" and not doing shady shit behind your company's back, I am updating you on the following. I have decided to go forward with my "LLC" passion to help the gaming community with regard to human relations which will in return assist gaming platforms such as "EVE" with their monthly retention levels...
I get to be a full-time community leader supported by willing supporters, and you win on the side of having a full-time EVE virtual CEO taking care of people from a human relations aspect. As far as I know, I am well within the EULA rules in a positive light as I am not actively soliciting, and I am also not making anything mandatory. More so, this helps CCP.
So far, Foxbolt hadn't gotten an official endorsement from CCP Cid or anyone else. Instead, as CCP's best people were busy reviewing his business plan, Foxbolt announced he was going ahead with his business plan. There was no time to waste.
Two Things About New Order PvP
If there's one thing people have learned about the New Order's style of PvP over the years, it's that our PvP is elite. If there's two things, it's that, again, our PvP is elite, and that the New Order loves shooting ships that can shoot back.
Agent 412nv Yaken created a video to highlight a pleasant stroll through lowsec. Our pilots frequently use unwitting lowsec pilots for target practice so they can stay sharp for their more demanding duties in highsec.
YouTube: Loki PvP
As you can see, lowsec is frequently humbled by our elite PvP warriors.
Agent Kalorned and the Gamis family have reached an incredible milestone. Twenty "Code Is Forever" videos! What a franchise.
Kalorned has built an impressive list of blues. People can't buy permits fast enough.

Impressive flying--do you have what it takes to join the New Order?
As always, our Links page is an excellent resource.
¡BONUS BONUS!
Our outreach never ends. One day, every man, woman, and child in highsec will have read the Code, preferably in a language he can understand. Thanks to Gunther Cucs, you can now read the Code in Spanish:

Over Seven Hundred Seventy-Four Billion in Shares Sold
In the long history of EVE, there's never been a better time to buy shares of the New Order of Highsec. They can be purchased at a low, low price of only 1 million isk each!
The New Order plays a vital role in the highsec economy. Nisanthro knows that EVE has no future without the Code. If you're against the Code, you're against EVE and CCP. Accordingly, Nisanthro purchased 1,000 additional shares and earned a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™ for sending us over the 774 billion isk mark. A very logical decision.

Previously, on MinerBumping... Admiral Foxbolt had it all: A thriving player-retention corp, a license from CCP to ban gankers and/or cyber-bullies, and $500 worth of PLEX. But before he knew it, that world came crashing down. CCP Falcon warned Foxbolt that he was at risk of getting his own accounts banned. A flurry of petitions followed.
To go against me is and the good I am attempting to do for your product simply foolish at this point. ( I would not be surprised if you yourself were a supporter of "The Mittani" and his corruption... It's how you are painting the picture at this time.)
I have tried to be nice to you CCP Falcon.... You need to get out of my face... My company only deals with CCP Cid. You have been informed.
Foxbolt lost faith in his ability to win Falcon over to his side. The only person he could rely on was CCP Cid, who allegedly authorized Foxbolt's player-retention enterprise. As time went on, Foxbolt began to wonder if Falcon was committed to opposing players like The Mittani at all.
Horror! Between petitions, Foxbolt took some time to investigate Falcon. He was shocked to discover that CCP Falcon appeared on an interview show with The Mittani. The show was hosted by TheMittani.com, which was run by none other than The Mittani himself!
SOMEONE GIVE ME SENIOR GM CID (CCP CID)!!!!
It's very plainly clear that CCP Falcon is a promotor of the "The Mittani" and his cyber-bullying tactics of other players... Found this little out take of CCP Falcon helping "The Mittani" promoting his income base... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj3nYHpynWs
Foxbolt was aghast. This entire time, he'd been sending petitions to Falcon that contained rants against The Mittani. Could it be that all his efforts had been wasted? Not willing to take chances, Foxbolt requested that someone other than Falcon handle his case.
SOMEONE keep CCP Falcon away from me.... It's VERY clear CCP Falcon is attempting to put back up red tape that my company has clearly already went through the proper channels to clear in gaining CCP's permission to help with "Retention Efforts & Human Relations"...
CCP Falcon... You are clearly trying to sabotage business relations and you need to be investigated for supporting someone who promotes cyber-bullying and harassment of EVE players.
The world of petitions is a mysterious one. Foxbolt had no idea if his words were being read by anyone other than Falcon. He could only cry out into the darkness and hope that his cries would reach a friendly ear.
Within a week after attempting to stand up for another EVE player, I've got a "CCP Falcon" attempting to sabotage business relations. I then look CP Falcon up and see very clearly that he supports the business affairs of "The Mittani". This incompetent individual (CCP Falcon) is attempting to throw EULA tape at us AFTER my company already cleared all of the red tape in a proper manner that reflects the highest level of integrity from one company towards another company. CCP Falcon is even attempting to use double standards regarding the EULA in trying to degrade business relations with Battlestar Gaming, LLC", but he's perfectly fine with supporting the business affairs of "The Mittani" who is clearly known as someone who told his 10,000+ to go and harass a man in real life. CCP Falcon clearly has a hidden agenda, and has no right in his attempts to make CCP look unprofessional in his attempts to sabotage business relations that have already been agreed upon properly.
Someone please look into this matter. My company is moving forward with helping CCP and the EVE Community based on our agreement with CCP through "Senior GM Cid" aka "CCP Cid".
Foxbolt concluded his missive with additional complaints about Falcon. Foxbolt's eloquence was undeniable, except perhaps by The Mittani and his army of cyber-bullies. Yet danger lurked in the shadows of the petition realm. For if Falcon was the only person reading the petitions, going with an anti-Falcon strategy could prove to be fatal to his cause.
OK then..... If you're going to ban my accounts, you very well need to return my $500 spent on PLEXS. Money that was spent under the understand from CCP Cid that we were cleared to conduct business relations with CCP.
Yeah, it was kinda fatal. Admiral Foxbolt, the "sheriff" of the community, was officially permabanned. What a turn of events.
The wily player-retention specialist still had a few tricks up his sleeve, however. He didn't call himself a "Political & Legal Chess Master" for nothing! Foxbolt created a new account. His new character, DuckGoons, began broadcasting a message to everyone in Jita who would listen. He soon attracted the attention of Reddit.
Well... it would seem the Goons have control of everything and CCP has no real interest in protecting people from harassment and cyber-bullying. They also like to retract on business agreements when a undercover Goon supporter in CCP Games (CCP Falcon) hears that someone is taking a stand against Goons having complete control of EVE.
Yes... We found a legal loop-hole in which our corp members wanted to support the corp in a real money value way, and we found a way for the player base to make income legally that could also support CCP Games even more.... CCP agreed to it because our player base wanted it, ... CCP Falcon got involved and shut the whole thing down.
Foxbolt took his case to the people. If he gained enough support from the Jita crowd, maybe he could get the leverage needed to unban his accounts. Then he could get back to work trying to ban CODEdot from the game.
A week later, CCP Falcon got involved and has of right now sabotaged the business deal.... And just when you were making room to do some good in EVE.... Goons get to take control all over again..... THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!! Proof below....
NOTE: They will most likely try to make this go away. SAVE AND READ PEOPLE.
They have failed to return my $500 spent in plexs as of yet.... while banning the accounts.
A keen observer of human nature, Foxbolt understood that few Jita residents would believe his incredible story of a CCP/Goon cyber-bully alliance unless he had proof. He compiled a series of documents and posted them on his website, which he linked. He encouraged everyone to save the information, since CCP might force him to delete it later. This treasure trove was the source of Foxbolt's previous petitions, as well as additional information we'll review in a moment.
CCP Falcon is a Goon and a fucking prick. CCP supports harassment and cyber-bullying of players... That's just fucking great. CCP Games is really trying to cover this horseshit up.. UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!
ALL PLAYERS HAVE A RIGHT TO NOT BE HARASSED OR CYBER-BULLIED BY THE GOONS!!!!
PASS THIS AROUND PEOPLE>>>> DON'T LET THEM TREAT THE PLAYER BASE LIKE THIS. We deserve better....
I supported EVE for 7-years and this is the bullshit I get for trying to help.
Admiral Foxbolt
Foxbolt wrapped up his message to Jita. It was a distress signal, really. He'd taken the first step, giving the EVE community what he believed to be the truth. What they chose to do with it was up to them.
Smartly labeled "EVIDENCE", Foxbolt's website became a window into the secret origin of his player-retention corp. It enabled EVE players to look back at its founding in October, just weeks before CODEdot ganked a Hulk and sent everything spiraling out of control. One vital question remained: Did Foxbolt's evidence actually support his claims that CCP approved his business? Or would it only make him appear more ridiculous?
Look... I'm trying to go about this the correct way. I'm trying to keep CCP in the loop regarding an idea that I've had for a long time. I want to help human relations within the gaming community. EVE ONLINE is the perfect platform for doing this. This is what I'm trying to do..... and I'm letting you know because I want to go about this correctly with the support of CCP....
* I have created a LLC that will be supported off of "Gifts" and or "Donations" later down the line. This purpose of this LLC is to promote the well being of "Human Relations" within the gaming community.
* I have been involved in EVE since 2009. You guys have an awesome product, but your retention honestly sucks. If people don't feel like they are cared for as human beings, they leave your product, and move on to the next biggest thing.... CCP losses monthly support. People need human relations to keep them attached..... this helps CCP with their player-retention, thus your wallet.
In a petition in mid-October, Foxbolt began making his pitch to CCP.
Previously, on MinerBumping... Admiral Foxbolt was on the precipice of achieving something that no other enemy of the New Order has been able to do: Getting the entire CODEdot alliance banned from the game. As Foxbolt's moment of triumph approached, he was blindsided by the opening of another front in the war. Attacked on EVE-O, Foxbolt counter-attacked with his own thread, which was unexpectedly locked by the ISD. Now Foxbolt had to embark upon his greatest challenge yet, against the very people whose support he'd taken for granted all along: CCP.
CCP Falcon,
Please kindly observe the following. Everything in life is up to ones determined interpretation. You claim that I have breached multiple rules, however I could write a book to counter how I have NOT broken any rules, and or I can justify why I have broken said rules to exercise my God given right of freedom of speech and or exposing the truth as it is. I spoke the truth... and someone didn't like it... that's how the game of life usally goes.
CCP Falcon replied to Foxbolt's petition. Although I am not permitted to post the contents of CCP employees' responses, you can probably tell from Foxbolt's follow-up petitions that Falcon was not in 100% agreement with him. All ellipses in the original.
(Did you suppose that I did not predict that you would appear in your attempts to counter me, or even yourself attempting to restrict my freedom of speech in a truly unmorale manner.) If I was vindictivly attempting to harm someone in a fowl manner, your "warning" as a member of CCP would move me towards fear -HOWEVER- I am fully aware that I am defending myself against unwarranted politically motivated attacks towards those that are attempting to suppress the truth.
So to you CCP Falcon.... I would strongly advise you to step back and observe the situation as is. Warning someone who is attacking you in a fowl manner is not a "threat" nor can it be observed as "harassing" if I was the one attacked.
Foxbolt's plan to improve EVE player retention had seemed, from the outset, to be perfect. It accounted for every variable. Every variable, that is, except one.
It's called going on the "defensive" and it is human nature, and it is warrant by the law. Strange thing how these emails can be used as proof in court to expose possible corrupt CCP Members attempting to use scare tactics to make a person go silent........ CCP Falcon, as a business owner who is operating a full-time business to assist CCP Games with their "Retention Efforts & Human Relations".... do I honestly come across as someone who is scared of you and your tactics??? My business is for CCP and it would be in your company's best interest to stay in good relations with mine if you wish to maintain my support for your product.
The idealistic Admiral Foxbolt had never considered that he might face opposition from CCP. But as he was fond of saying, "Lions don't run."
Are you aware that life is like a board of chess, and that a wise "Political & Legal Chess Master" does not make a move unless he can predict the next set of moves...... You ISD was dealt with in the manner that was warrant..... He was not threated, harassed,... he was "WARNED", and I am ALLOWED to defend myself and you sir (CCP Falcon) have no legal right to restrict me from defending myself on this issue.
Each new rebel leader that the New Order encounters is more sophisticated and intelligent than the previous ones. Before, there was the "Fisherman Spider". Now, the Political & Legal Chess Master. And this was a game that the Political & Legal Chess Master intended to win.
Lastly.... I'm done with ISD. I have nothing else to say to them. I also don't give a shit about your forums anymore at this time for how I have been treated for being open and honest about real events that have occured... and if you'll notice, I spoke highly of CCP, so quiet honestly Sir.... you mail to me did not present the CCP I have known for the past 7-years. Either way... I have a business to build that is trying to help CCP keep EVE ONLINE at the top of the list. So please leave me in peace to enjoy a product I enjoy supporting.
Foxbolt concluded his petition by dismissing the ISD entirely. Same with EVE-O. He had bigger fish to fry.
CCP Falcon....
Even better, I'll send you a direct link in which I have insured the entire ticket was placed in order from start to finish during business talks with GM's and "Senior GM Cid" in order to get my business off the ground to support CCP with their "Retention Efforts & Human Relations".... because honestly if someone doesn't help CCP, "Star Citizen" is going to kick CCP's ass when it becomes fully operational.
I care about this comapny that runs EVE..... EVE ONLINE and everything I learned about humans relations saved my life in real life.... You people have no clue the power and the potential this virtual platform offers to the world apart from gaming..... CCP saved my life and I owe my life to this company. (Long Story)
I've attached the CEO of CCP... he needs to be aware of this.....
As was becoming his habit, Foxbolt didn't wait for a reply from Falcon before sending another petition. Sensing that this was a matter of the gravest importance, Foxbolt looped in CCP's CEO and awaited Falcon's answer. However, it became apparent that Falcon and Foxbolt still weren't on the same page.
Dear CCP Falcon,
Respectfully... if you are a moral human being behind that keyboard, and you'd like to work this out as moral men who both care about the best interest of CCP Games and their product "EVE ONLINE"..... then I tip my hat to you in the utter most respect as my way of saying "Hey, my bad."
The events within that support ticket are what lead to the tread.... CODE started broadcasting vindictive information about myself and the client I am attempting to help, while my company "Battlestar Gaming, LLC" is attempting to maintain the client's account and his monthly payments to CCP's business account, which in the end results in you receiving a paycheck as a CCP employee... so in reality I work for my clients, which involves me working for CCP, which results in me working for you.......
It was seriously past time for Foxbolt to get Falcon up to speed. The whole mess, Foxbolt explained, was caused by CODEdot. It's a refrain Falcon has doubtless heard on more than one occasion from more than one rebel leader. However, Foxbolt was a new breed. Falcon practically worked for him!
In other words, I'm on your side here, and myself knowing this... I didn't take kindly to being warned in having my accounts banned which are at this point business tools for my company to help CCP Games with "Retention Efforts & Human Relations".
Falcon....lol... man, I don't know every rule in CCP's book. I didn't know anything about forum rules. Honestly you guys have so much content that even after 7-years I still don't know everything.... All I knew at the point of writing in the forums is I needed to do my job and help CCP and my company keep a paying customer..... and at times, that will involve standing up for them infront of the sharks.
Foxbolt explained that BATTLESTAR FEDERATION and CCP were on the same side. They shouldn't be wasting time fighting each other. They should be fighting CODEdot and all those jerks on the forums!
But honestly after this new learned experience with the forums (for which I've never really been involved with), I no longer have any interest in dealing with the forums..... My business office is being setup next week, I've already got paying customers, I've got staff coming on board... all supporters of EVE ONLINE. All of us are driven on pushing back against a lot of the crap that is being done to new players that is killing CCP's maximum income profit, and harming a product we have all been very proud supporters of. We are literally striving to turn the tide for EVE ONLINE so that this awesome, one of a kind virtual platform's can actually do more good in people's lives rather then just being another everyday video game.
Anyways, I simply want you to know that we're both on the same side, and that I'm not you're everyday player.
As we've seen over the last few years, carebears have been fixated on CCP's profits. It's not that they want risk-free AFK isk, you understand--they simply want ganking removed to help an Icelandic computer company make more money. Foxbolt's player-retention services were just about the only thing standing between CCP and bankruptcy.
Well then.....Respectfully, let me make myself perfectly clear. I am trying to do something good here.... Something that I have been attempting to do for a very long time. I am trying to help CCP Games, the EVE community, and I want to do this for a living. I do not have time to write a book expressing how everything I have learned in EVE ONLINE for the past 7-years literally saved my life in real life. Maybe if we can get past this "red tape" (that YOU seem to be trying to put back in place) which is attempting to prevent a person (myself) from doing something good for humanity in the virtual world... maybe then I can tell you my story in person.
Kindly Sir, you need to be corrected on a couple of things, because you have misplaced wording and how events have indeed occurred. I did seek permission (all of it is recorded) CCP Cid did indeed give me the go ahead for fulfilling my vision on what I'm doing with my company to help your company, (All of it is recorded) -AND- this is the VERY REASON why he reinstated the toon as a "Business Tool"...(It was not reinstated as per policy in which you stated). He reinstated the toon right after I requested the toon back as a "Business Tool" (It's all recorded.).
Once again, Foxbolt directed Falcon's attention to CCP Cid, the man Foxbolt claimed had officially endorsed his player-retention services. For some reason, Cid hadn't informed Falcon of Foxbolt's importance. It's like when the CIA doesn't share information with the FBI--the terrorists win.
This is how I feel in the manner you come across CCP Falcon.... Please, don't sit there and try to reword things to back track after I HAVE received proper permission to do everything I'm doing. Don't sit there and attempt to manipulate a former federal law enforcement officer. I have supported your product for many years and went about how I am doing everything in the VERY best way I know how......I have maintained my integrity in the light of overwhelming harassment from all the haters (Other Gamers) who never want to see something good get off the ground.
After the bullshit stunt the "The Mittani" pulled in 2012 and how CCP took absolutely no real effort in making it clear that players would not be treated that way.... By allowing him and all his accounts to remain in game... CCP Games condoned such criminal behavior. AND you want to sit there and give me a hard time for attempting to do something good?!? I DON'T THINK SO!!!!
Foxbolt reflected on his own origin story. He'd seen what people like The Mittani were capable of. He'd seen the true face of evil.
Look on "THE WIS" employment history in game.... his first corp is "BATTLESTAR FEDERATION"..... and "ADMIRAL FOXBOLT" (Myself) was the first CEO of this player... the same "THE WIS" that was harassed in real life by that fucking ass and his 10,000 or so followers....... and instead of going after you're company in a legal manner.... I have instead decided to help with solutions......
Here's the difference between me and "The Mittani"...... He knew what he was doing when he did it, and he knew that his player support would help him get away with it. I have instead come to CCP and went through the proper channels to help the player community build a wall of protection against such cyber-bullying practices that CCP currently does nothing to prevent.
CCP Falcon.... I have the email documents proving that I have CCP's permission to conduct my company's business in a manner that helps CCP Games... We're already locked in.
The question you have to ask yourself is, do you really want to give me a hard time when I'm not trying to give you a hard time..... When I'm trying to help CCP, the EVE Community, or do you wanta be the one that stands between me and "The Mittani" and his kind???
The truth is, the EVE community is a fragile one. There's a thin blue line that separates the subscription-paying carebear masses from the cyber-bullies and other malevolent forces. Right now, Foxbolt was the only Lion willing to stand between the peaceful highsec miners and total chaos.
Because I do have CCP's permission (per documents recorded) regardless of how you have attempted to backtrack, I am moving forward with what you and everyone else can clearly see is a good cause.... the courts will see it this way as well (Do you really want "The Mittani" incident brought back to light.) To go against me is and the good I am attempting to do for your product simply foolish at this point. ( I would not be surprised if you yourself were a supporter of "The Mittani" and his corruption... It's how you are painting the picture at this time.)
Foxbolt had spent enough time dealing with Falcon. From this point forward, he would need to rely entirely on CCP Cid, the man he claimed had appointed him sheriff of the EVE community. Everything depended on Cid. With the looming possibility of having his accounts permabanned, the Political & Legal Chess Master moved all his chips into the center of the table. He was all-in.
Labels: Agents, CCP, Intel, Tears
Previously, on MinerBumping... The secret origin story of Admiral Foxbolt, an (allegedly) CCP-approved player retention specialist, was revealed. The first CEO of The Wis, Foxbolt had been outraged by watching the video of a memorable presentation at Fanfest. Foxbolt vowed to put a stop to the cyber-bullying that takes place in EVE.
Foxbolt had been mocked in a previously closed thread on EVE-O. But Foxbolt continued to take the fight to the enemy in his own thread. His connection to The Wis wasn't the only thing that made him distinct from the rest of the Ganking Is Bullying crowd: He also boasted an endorsement from CCP.
(A fine attitude, if the "good cause" he referred to was enforcement of the Code.)
As Foxbolt reached the conclusion of his speech, he sent forth a call to action. Foxbolt knew he couldn't succeed in his quest alone. He needed help from the other people who still read EVE-O.
One more word of appreciation to his colleagues at CCP, and Foxbolt was ready for the reaction from the EVE community, come what may.
The community reaction was decidedly hostile. Last time, the mockery had taken place in a thread he hadn't discovered until it was already locked. Now Foxbolt was in a position to reply to each and every post that criticized him. He flaunted his CCP-approved status.
"Lions don't run."
...Yet even lions can't post in a locked thread. Reacting swiftly--more swiftly, perhaps, than usual--the ISD closed Foxbolt's thread. Notably, ISD Buldath cited nine separate grounds for the lock. (That must approach, if not claim, the record.) After quoting the nine different types of rule violations, Buldath wrote, simply, "No."
One of the rules cited did not bode well for the new sheriff. Annoyed by the closure of his thread, Foxbolt dashed off a petition to CCP:
"Dear CCP,
I caught into the following tread being put out in the open to discredit my efforts to help CCP Games.... https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6134390
I wrote the following tread to further show my company's support for CCP... and you will continue to have our support through every storm.... https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=453257
We hope to encourage the crowd that actually cares about the work and effort that CCP's staff commit to in order to keep EVE fully active."
Foxbolt pointed to the thread devoted to mocking him, and his own thread. (Both have since been deleted from EVE-O, hence the links are dead.) It didn't escape Foxbolt's notice that the anti-Foxbolt thread had been left open nearly ten times as long as his own thread. Now Foxbolt began to lose patience with CCP's lack of support for its player retention specialist:
"FOR CCP's RECORDS>>>
Dear CCP & "Senior GM Cid",
The following email was sent to "ISD Buldath" for "Restricting Freedom of Speech". ISD Buldath abused his power by closing a tread when it wasn't even open for 15mins. The following letter was sent to him....
I noticed how you guys allowed a negative post regarding myself, and how you allowed it to remain up for at least 2 pages...However as soon as I post a tread exposing the light on some things that needed to be said.... you seem to think it's ok to restrict a person's freedom of speech..... all of your reasons can be countered..... but I'm not going to waste my time probing and making and example out of you at this time from a legal stand point.
Your not going to suppress the truth..... if you think you truly have power, and you attempt to silence me again, I will make a legal and moral example out of you.
You think about that while your being a prick behind the keyboard the next time you think it's a good idea to step on me.
Admiral. Foxbolt"
Less than two days had passed since Foxbolt's client's Hulk had been ganked by the New Order. In that time, Foxbolt was making more enemies than he ever could have imagined. He wouldn't be deterred, not even if the ISD stood in his way. Lions don't run. But why would Foxbolt's supposed allies at CCP be turning against him?
Previously, on MinerBumping... Agent loyalanon faced his greatest challenge yet when Admiral Foxbolt un-biomassed himself and declared that he'd received a license from CCP to help improve player retention. Foxbolt's first act was to demand the reimbursement of a Hulk pilot's loss and submit a detailed proposal to CCP on limiting suicide ganks in highsec. After Foxbolt filed his proposal through the petition system, he threatened CODEdot with all-out war.
It truly was, as Foxbolt said, a clash of the titans. The convo crackled with power. It was as if the world might split open at any moment.
The stakes were nothing less than the future of all highsec. loyalanon offered to sell Foxbolt a mining permit one last time before the convo came to an abrupt conclusion. Foxbolt readied himself for war. But his next challenge would come from unexpected quarters...
Thanks to EveSkunk, news of Foxbolt's threats against CODEdot were made public the very next day. The Crime & Punishment subforum on EVE-O became host to a thread about Foxbolt. The author went to Foxbolt's corp's official website to learn about the man's agenda. According to Foxbolt's website:
"A lifetime pc gamer who got tired of the cruel and inhumane treatment of good and moral players getting harassed and becoming victims of cyber-bullying, he took a stand and created his own company driven in building a team of experts in human relations to help players as human beings in building healthy and sustainable social and emotional relations among the gaming community. Before going into his own full-time business, he worked for the Department of Justice as a Federal Law-Enforcement Officer. After 12-years of law enforcement experience, he turned in his badge to pursue his passion for helping the gaming community. His passion and love for this product is what lead to the creation of "Battlestar Gaming, LLC". He is driven in helping CCP's monthly retention-levels by simply treating and caring for the players as human-beings."
Foxbolt wasn't kidding around. His corp really was devoted to player retention, not mining or mission-running.
Thermal Damage spoke for most observers.
The thread was closed, so Foxbolt struck back with a thread of his own.
"I must admit in all my years of playing EVE that I've learned something very important about the personalty profiles of people. We all have a "Physical Reality Profile" and we all have a "Virtual Reality Profile". It is my belief at this time that our " "Virtual Reality Profile" is our true profile even in the physical reality. For the most part, if your a vindictive ******* in the virtual, that's honestly who you are in physical reality..... however you wear a mask and obey society's laws (while law abiding people are watching) in order to not get locked up.... and most of these "true assholes" keep their physical mouths shut because they don't want to get their teeth knocked out.
I read the entire tread... I saw nothing positive, yet people who simply desire to be negative and striving to tear down something that truly aims to help humanity. I forgive you......."
Foxbolt took center stage, roundly condemning the previous thread and speaking with passion about his mission to improve player retention. What motivated him so? Now Foxbolt revealed the secrets of his past, the origin story of this unlikely hero.
Admiral Foxbolt has been biomassed a number of times. His corp, BATTLESTAR FEDERATION, had also been dissolved and reopened on numerous occasions.
Through its many iterations, Battlestar Federation has evaded many a wardec. Only its values remained constant.
Joseph Grafton was Admiral Foxbolt's alt. One look at his employment history tells the tale.
Over and over again, Battlestar Federation has been shut down, only to be reborn. It's hard to imagine that anyone would bother joining such a corporation, other than Foxbolt and his alts. And yet there was. One EVE player joined Battlestar Federation as his first corp.
Who was it, and what kind of a man would that experience make? WARNING: Plot twist incoming!
No... Not you...
It can't be...
According to Greek mythology, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades each drew lots to determine their role in governing the universe. Supposedly Hades got a raw deal, being selected to rule the underworld. But when you think about it, far more people are dead than alive. Similarly, the vast majority of EVE players reside solely in highsec. As Agents of the New Order, we reward and punish the carebears according to their actions and our Code. Let's take a look at some players who were especially deserving of punishment during the week of November 15th @ 00:00 EVEtime through November 21st @ 23:59 EVEtime.
Achillia Trebaculous managed to lose a shuttle worth nearly a billion isk. For someone who belongs to a corp called "Shield Nation", she didn't use much tank for the job. Her alliance name, on the other hand, was spot on. Yet Achillia might've gotten away with her foul crimes, had it not been for Agent Brutal Anna's quick thinking.
The shuttle contained these blueprints. My advice? Always bet on the Catalyst.
Agent Kalorned's latest elite PvP video was featured on MinerBumping last week. yoda algeche attempted to assassinate Kalorned with his Drake Navy Issue after Kalorned repeatedly bumped it out of range of the rats he was trying to kill. You saw the video, but now you can see how fail-fit the faction Drake was. Apparently yoda was going for a "power" fit. Nice try, but real power is only found in the Code.
Dan Mile also had a ship capable of shooting back. He was confident that he could destroy Agent Zopiclone's Catalyst. In addition to an impressive structure tank, Dan had a trump card up his sleeve: He had a kill right on Zopiclone! But Dan's Brutix Navy Issue was doomed to fail. He was incinerated by Agent... well...
Dan Mile > jfuckoff, yu are next
Zopiclone > gf Dan Mile
Zopiclone > good way to waste a Brutix
Dan Mile > dont know why the bastards took me out, i had a kill right on you.
Dan Mile > oh well.
Dawn DiDacyria > Did you activate your kill right Mr Mile?
Zopiclone > Dan Mile you should Join CODE
Zopiclone > We will teach you Elite PVP
Mastering highsec PvP is always more difficult than the rebels assume.
ShiKirah was the latest to employ an increasingly popular method of tanking her industrial: Fitting no modules, also known as the "lazytank". This technique is known to boost your EHP beyond what an anti-tank fit offers. Best of all, it costs nothing, so the carebear doesn't need to spend any of her precious isk. Agent HotShotX Warcastle objected to ShiKirah's fit. Highsec isn't meant to be free.
Another popular hauling method: Carry everything you own in one trip.
A philosophical question: Does this count as one ragequit or two?
Agent HotShotX Warcastle was on fire this week! So were the carebears, at least after HotShotX torched them. Ameansob piled 1.8 billion isk of garbage into his heavily anti-tanked ship. Should've gone with the lazytank. Once again, a bot-aspirant was caught in the Inaro system. Hmmm...
Blood and Ice Cream Industries corp invested in some structures, but they never got around to telling us about it. Without obtaining permission, permits, or defenses of any kind, their plans were bound to end in tragedy. Agents Aaaarrgg, Pod-Goo RepoWoman, FightMeNow, and Pod-Goo Repairman had no choice but to destroy their most prized possession.
There's more than one way to gank a freighter. Blood and Ice Cream Industries would probably have sent someone to complain about "not being warned", but even that would've been too much trouble. They didn't learn their lesson. The next day, our heroes returned and inflicted an additional 350 million isk of losses by removing their remaining structures.

The Research Grants scheme provides ‘seed corn’ funding for new projects of timeliness and promise initiated by research scientists at an early stage of their career (within the first 5 years of the start date of their first permanent academic position). The objective of the scheme is to increase the availability of specialised equipment and essential consumable materials, and to support essential field research. The scheme also provides support for research in the history of science or to assist with publication of scholarly works in the history of science. Eligibility: Applicants must be resident in the UK, they should have postdoctoral level or equivalent status at the time of the application and have a permanent or limited-tenure position in an eligible organisation. An applicant who is a post doctorate paid by a grant for which someone else is the principal investigator is not eligible. Applicants must play a major part and take a leading role in the project and not make its fulfilment more than marginally dependent on the services of postgraduate/doctoral students.
For research and publication in the history of science only: Non-tenured researchers and retired scientists resident in the UK may also apply for research support and publication support grants. Applicants must work in association with an eligible institution. Length of Tenure: The grant is for a period of 12 months Value of Grant: For all subject categories (1 to 9), up to £15,000 (including VAT) is available for the purchase of specialised equipment, essential consumable materials and services. Up to £5,000 (including VAT) is available for the publication of scholarly works in the history of science.
The grants are not intended to supplement ongoing research. As the Research Grant scheme does not involve staff costs, full economic costing (fEC) does not apply to this scheme. Important note: Before completing the application form all applicants should check that they comply with the eligibility requirements outlined above. These requirements are strictly adhered to and any applicant who does not meet them will be excluded from the competition.

The Technology Strategy Board will invest up to £7m to fund collaborative research and development projects that will lead to new technologies and strategies to help businesses extract greater value from large and diverse sources of data (or information), and which drive a robust data economy. This competition is open to all UK-based companies and research organisations in business-led consortia. Ideas are sought from all economic sectors.
BBSRC Industrial Impact Fellowships

The fellowship will ideally be for a period of up to 4 years, where matched departmental funding will be viewed favourably by the assessment committee. The scheme is flexible with regard to the particular role proposed in an application, but it is expected that Fellows will take on a significant 'science programme manager' role within an existing BBSRC research programme. For example, the Fellows could manage innovation and business development, acting as liaison with industry partners, overseeing the development of the commercial potential of the research being pursued, etc. It is expected that Fellows will be embedded within a department and complement local technology transfer office (or equivalent) activities.
BBSRC Follow-on Funding
New applications in 2010 will follow our standard grant rules on resubmissions. For further information see BBSRC grants guide, paragraphs ...
New applications in 2010 will follow our standard grant rules on resubmissions. For further information see BBSRC grants guide, paragraphs 4.13 and 4.14. This funding is for ‘proof of concept’ at the very early stage of turning research outputs into a commercial proposition.
It funds work to convert an idea into a robust business plan where a route to commercialisation is clear, for example a spin-out (seed or venture finance) or licensing opportunity.
BBSRC commit £2.9M a year. Typically grants are for £80K-150K normally over 12 months. How to apply: Applications must be within our portfolio and draw substantially on outputs of recent BBSRC funding.

Pathfinder awards are available to carry out work that will help you develop a greater understanding of the commercial aspects and possibilities of your research, and hence a more robust, better informed application for a full Follow-on Fund grant. Illustrative activities include: commissioning a market assessment study to determine likely potential competition and opportunities; intellectual property searches; developing contacts with potential licensees or users to understand their needs and requirements; and milestone 1 achievement, if the milestone is particularly risky and the success of the entire project depends upon it. Although not a formal requirement for subsequent application to the full Follow-on Fund, undertaking Pathfinder work of the type described is an approach strongly encouraged by NERC's Assessment Panel. Awards are typically in region of £7k - £10k (FEC), although up to £20k may be awarded in exceptional cases. Further information on this can be obtained from Andrew Richardson. Follow-on Fund This is the main scheme. Applications must demonstrate a sound understanding of the market opportunity, as described above, and a clear and robust linkage between the proposed technology development plan and the strategy proposed for commercialising the project's outputs. There is no limit on the amount of funding that can be sought. However, as support is only provided for a maximum of 12 months, the amount sought should be reasonable according to the work to be carried out (typically between £80k and £100k). NERC pays the standard proportion of full economic costs (see the Research Grants Handbook for full details). Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), or equivalent, have a vital role to play in the development of Follow-on Fund applications and in the subsequent execution of the commercial elements of the plan. NERC's Follow-on-Fund Assessment Panel will therefore look for evidence of meaningful TTO involvement and buy-in to the proposed project. Closing dates Follow-on Fund: 27 October 2010. Follow-on Fund Pathfinder: there is no closing date for this scheme; applications can be submitted at any time.

NERC in collaboration with the Trustees of the Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund (ACTF) of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) invite studentship proposals for PhD projects related to the development of new analytical techniques suitable for use in environmental science. Proposals should be from prospective research supervisors for studentships to commence in autumn 2011. It is anticipated that up to 8 studentships will be supported in this round. The scope of this programme covers the full breadth of environmental science and all areas of analytical science (laboratory and field). These studentships must include a comprehensive training programme, including supervision in both environmental and analytical science, and be likely to make significant contributions to the advancement of analytical science in the UK.

Meeting Minds:
Alumni Weekend in Asia
Hong Kong, 21 - 23 March 2014
For the full list of events, read the programme.
Check out the photos of the Weekend.
Videos of the academic sessions are available via University podcasts and on the University's channel on YouTube.
Between 21-23 March, the University of Oxford hosted its largest ever gathering of Oxford graduates in Asia. Meeting Minds: Alumni Weekend in Asia attracted more than 500 alumni and friends from Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Japan, Mongolia, the Philippines, the US, the UK, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia and India. The three days of festivities was hosted by the University Chancellor, the Rt Hon Lord Patten of Barnes (Chris Patten), and the University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Andrew Hamilton, and brought together graduates, friends and world-leading academic figures for academic talks, social events and the opening of the exhibition ‘‘Mapping Ming China’s Maritime World – The Selden Map and Other Treasures from University of Oxford’ at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum.
The Weekend started with an informal Friday lunch attended by leaders of the alumni groups from across Asia together with the Chancellor, followed by the Weekend's welcome reception at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum. On Saturday, alumni and friends gathered in the JW Marriott for a day of academic sessions that was a roller coaster of intellectual stimulation and fun - taking in mindful eating, novel healthcare solutions, a game of mathematical chairs, and a riotous debate on Asia’s role in the 21st century.
The highlight of the Weekend, a Oxford formal hall dinner was held at the Four Seasons Hotel (dubbed 'Four Seasons College' by the Chancellor), with the support of Hackett London, University Gala Dinner Sponsor, who helped to make it a truly magical evening. Alumnus Michael Wong (Kellogg 2009) and his company Oxonia Company Ltd sponsored the pre-dinner champagne reception and alumni Dr Siripattra Kusuwan (Wadham 1998), Robbie McRobbie (Teddy Hall), Oxford Limited as well as Hackett London were the sponsors of the raffle prizes.The highlight of the evening included a set by the Oxford Gargoyles, the jazz a cappella choir comprised of students from the University who delighted with their verbal acrobatics and musical talent. Thanks also go to alumni Frank Choi (University 2006), Timothy Chu (St Catz, 2006) and Ryan Wong (St Catz 2006) who performed as a piano trio during the pre-dinner reception.
On Sunday, alumni were up bright and early for a family choral workshop with the inexhaustible students from the Oxford Gargoyles before joining the family dim sum lunch at the China Club, sponsored by Sir David Tang. The weekend finished with a rousing rendition of 'Lean on Me' by the alumni, academics, friends and students alike.
The University of Oxford is grateful to the following sponsors for helping realise the inaugural Alumni Weekend in Asia:
Sir David Tang
Dr Walter Kwok
Hackett London, University Gala Dinner Sponsor
Oxonia Company Ltd (Professor Language Services in Chinese and English), Sponsor of the Pre-Dinner Champagne Reception

Doña Natalia, Mezcal
Premium Mezcal from Durango, Mexico and embodies complexities second to none
www.mezcaldenatalia.com/
The legend of Doña Natalia is based on an anonymous hero of the Mexican Revolution who fought to rescue the old tradition of Mezcal production. This dream was resurrected by two Mexican entrepreneurs who wanted to produce this ancient style of Mezcal and share it with the world. The idea of this Mezcal, is to expose the body and soul of the person who drinks it, to a whole new level of consciousness. It is said that this Mezcal doesn't make you drunk but rather opens your mind to those around you in order to gain wisdom.
Made in the traditional handmade way from a very rare species of Agave indigenous to Durango, Mexico.
When the hearts of the agave reach optimum ripeness, they are harvested and then baked in a earthen pit heated by volcanic rocks. A fire is fueled by Mesquiete, a deciduous tree which grows in the region. The pit is then covered with river sand and left to bake. The resulting sugar rich juice is then left to ferment in large oak vats. It is then double distilled in a Montera still and then aged in white oak barrels.

About Desmond John Ballentine
Born in January 1966 in Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica. Ninjaman is widely recognized as a Jamaican dancehall DJ and actor who has earned a net worth of $1 million. He worked as a DJ at the tender age of 12 under the pseudonym of Double Ugly. He launched his first single “Uglyman” in 1980. During his DJ reign, he has created controversial lyrics that are considered pro-guns. Despites this controversy, he achieved many albums and smashes including “Permit to Bury”, “Murder Dem”, and “Above the Law” that referenced his aggressive and rebellious image which was rival to other similar artists including Shabba ranks in 1987. However, his overbearingly violent lyrics were criticized to the point of obscurity in his performances and recording in 1993. He altered his name to Brother Desmond and began his gospel reggae music in 1997. He featured in an episode of the TV series The Word in 1990. In March 2009, Ninjaman and his son Janiel were the prime suspects of Ricardo Johnson’s homicide in Kingston, Jamaica, after which he was allowed on bail for JD$2 million in March 2012, exactly three years after the arrest. His trial will begin shortly in April 2015.

Free MP3: Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis, ‘Not Enough’
The folks at Sub Pop Records today offered up the first taste of Dinosaur Jr frontman J Mascis’ forthcoming record Several Shades of Why — an acoustic collection that’s actually the guitar hero’s first-ever studio solo album — in the form of a free download of the track “Not Enough.”
You can download the 3:13-long song in exchange for your e-mail address via the widget below. The album is due out March 15, and was recorded at Bisquiteen Studios in Amherst, Mass. The 10-track disc is “nearly all acoustic,” and features guest turns by Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene, Kurt Vile and Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell, among others.
In Sub Pop’s bio, Mascis says “there’s some fuzz” on the album, “but it’s acoustic through fuzz.” He also notes there are no drums: “Just one tambourine song, that’s it. It was a specific decision to not have drums. Usually I like to have them. But going drum-less pushes everything in a new direction, and makes it easier to keep things sounding different.”

Kaytranada Revives Sade’s ‘Kiss Of Life’ & Offers Up More Newness
D-Money
August 15, 2018 | 11:00 am
We will always ride for Kaytranada because he never disappoints — look no further than his solo debut 99.9% or, more recently, his joints with Shay Lia if you don't believe us. Though he rarely takes a break producing new hotness for other artists, he did take a brief hiatus in giving us some of his own original material and thoughtful flips of classics. Now, however, that break is over in a big way. In the past 24 hours, he dropped four new tracks on SoundCloud, including two instrumentals and a Tribe Called Quest flip. But the stunning gem of the releases is his edit of Sade's 1992 Love Deluxe single "Kiss Of Life."
It's rare that folks get it right when it comes to remixing Sade, but Kaytra puts his back into it. He keeps the lovely piano and warm chords that make the track so romantic, infusing it with a samba-like rhythm that makes things feel almost tropical. He then pitches up the vocal just a tad so that it floats just above the proceedings while still evoking the smoky, lovestruck vibe the original track had. It proves once again just how deft the Canadian producer's hand is when it comes to taking a beloved track and reimagining it for a newer audience.
He also showcases some of that smoothness on "The Night Is On My Mind." Taking a quick sample of ATCQ's Midnight Marauders track "Midnight," he stretches it into a smokin' hot, nearly three-minute dance floor workout thanks to a few vocal samples and drums that refuse to quit. The other two instrumentals, both named for the dates they were created, land in the realm of chill vibes. His signature shuffling rhythm is present in both, though one is upbeat and poppy while the other is mellow and slow.
You can listen to each of Kaytranada's newest tracks, starting with the "Kiss Of Life" edit, below.

North Market to open for season Tuesday and offer PoP Club this year
AndersonRT06
OWATONNA — The North Market, a farmers market at Grace Baptist Church, will open for the season Tuesday, and this year will offer the Power of Produce (PoP) Club for children and families.
“Medford had really good success with it last year,” said Jenny Kath, who coordinates both the Medford farmers market and the North Market. While Medford’s initial foray into PoP Club occurred in 2017, it was fully-implemented last summer, and “we saw a significant increase in the number of families at the market,” a majority of whom returned “week after week.”
The PoP Club is a farmers market incentive program for children ages 4-11. Parents/guardians can sign their children up for free to receive a weekly $2 market voucher to spend on their own fresh fruits/vegetables or plants that grow food. The PoP Club is brought to the North Market this year through financial support from The United Way of Steele County’s Strategic Impact Fund.
The PoP Club is a nationally recognized program that started at the Oregon Farmer’s Market in May 2011. It was introduced to Minnesota farmers markets in 2014.
“It’s good for vendors, good for the market, and good for (families),” said Kath, a registered dietitian and member of the Healthy Eating Coalition of Steele County. “Children can get engaged, explore the market, and get to know farmers.”
“Lots of city kids are disengaged from farmers and how food is really grown,” Kath said. In addition to the $2 market voucher, children can participate in several planned activities, including planting with Steele County master gardeners on opening day and sampling dairy and petting a baby calf to celebrate National Dairy Month on June 25.
On Tuesday, master gardeners will plant herb and vegetable plants with youth, and then children will be able to take those plants home with them, she said. “This was a huge hit in Medford last year.”
“I am very excited to be able to offer weekly activities that include the opportunity for kids to not only get fresh fruits and vegetables, but also have a nutrition component to help teach (them) the importance of eating nutrient-dense foods (that) give them the proper amount of fuel their bodies need,” said Caitlin Terpstra, a dietitian and nutritionist with Mayo Clinic Health System who has partnered with Kath to plan the North Market this summer. Hands-on activities serve as superb learning environments, and, by engaging youth regularly, she “hopes that they will take these ideas and activities and implement them at home with family to help encourage overall family wellness and interest in improving overall health.”
Parents can receive recipes each week at the market, and fresh, in-season food will be available to sample for children, Kath said. “We know when it’s in-season, it tastes the best.”
In addition, the farmers market “family fun day” that has traditionally been conducted at the downtown Owatonna farmers market each summer will move to the North Market this year, Kath said. “We’ll have that July 30.”
The North Market will be open from 4-7 p.m. this summer each Tuesday through Aug. 20. Vendors accept SNAP and EBT cards, Allina Health Bucks, and Market Bucks.
If an individual spends, say, $10 at the farmer’s market with SNAP or EBT, they can receive a $10 match in Market Bucks, meaning they now have $20 at their disposal for food, Kath said. Market Bucks are provided through Hunger Solutions, and, when people learn about them, “they are just floored by that.”
“I have a deep passion for promoting local foods and teaching individuals that eating nutritious meals doesn’t need to break the bank (and/or) cost a ton of money,” Terpstra said. The farmers market is a “great opportunity for people to directly connect with farmers as well as learning sustainable tips and strategies for planting fruits and vegetables of their own.”
Terpstra has “been a tremendous help” this year, Kath said. “We’ve worked really well together.”
Kath, Terpstra, and others are committed to expanding the reach of farmers markets to as many people as possible, hence the various outreach efforts and acceptance of alternate payment methods, Kath added. “We want to make sure the farmers market is accessible to everyone, not limit access to it.”

So here did it all start...
It was the summer of 2009...
I was having lunch with the inimitable Gretchen Meddaugh, chatting about the fun aspect of getting up on stage and speaking. She'd just been to the first Budapest Ignite! And we figured that Budapest needed a competitive forum where the speakers could present and let the audience judge their performance. Something a little edgier than Toastmasters and not as daunting as stand-up comedy. Something that would pit prepared speeches against impromptu spiels. Something that the audience could judge.
Why's it called 'the gift of the gab'?
Practically anyone can give a prepared speech, but not everyone has the gift of the gab – the ability to get up in front of any audience, any where, and talk about any subject, completely unprepared. You either have it, or you don’t.
Is there another Irish connection?
Some say the gift of the gab is an Irish thing – something that the Irish are born with – so it seemed fitting to run the competition in the months before St Patrick's Day and have an Irishness to it all. The final this year will be part of the week-long festival championed by the Irish Hungarian Business Circle and we're running the GOTG as a charity event for its Give a Little campaign. So it's a good night's entertainment with a giving element. The lads at Smiley's (Kenny and Terry) are really supportive. All the proceeds will go towards an orphange in Göd. Everyone who helps out volunteers their time. Not bad going at all.
How does it all work?
Judges are chosen from the audience on the night. Each one of five speakers gives a five-minute prepared speech on a topic of their choice and then a three-minute impromptu on a topic chosen by the audience. The winner of each round goes through to the final. Simple. The most important thing for speakers is to keep talking ’til they hear the bell. Be engaging. The most memorable impromptu from 2010 had to be Mark Griffith's three-minute stretch on peas. Speeches don't have to be funny – it's not a humorous speech contest and it's not stand-up comedy. The focus is on entertainment. My advice to would-be speakers is to pick a subject that's interesting and then hope like hell you draw a decent suggestion from the audience...it'll all be fine on the night.
PSA slots
We also have three, one-minute PSA (public service announcements) slots each night where people can promote their own gigs in town. It's one way to reach a new audience. Have a new book? A new business? A new pub? You have 60 seconds in which to tell it all.

Unsigned Bands: Clinical Trials, Statelman, Future Future (formerly Teenage Millionaire), die Kinder
Various Contributors
NJ/NY
A tomboy guitarist with half sultry, half screaming vocals, Somer Bingham has been playing solo for a few years under the name Somer. Deciding to take a break from her solo career, she decided to form a side project named Clinical Trials. When she put out an ad for a drummer, Ray Keekin responded immediately. Both former Floridians are now living in Brooklyn where they work on their electro/grunge/rock duo. Her voice in its sultry tone sounds like PJ Harvey and yet her screaming is like Trent Reznor’s (if he was a woman anyway). They use MIDI controlled sounds from her G4 powerbook to give their music that extra beat and spice up both their heavy, distorted punk and their simple Aimee Mann-like music. Somer is planning on self-releasing the band’s self-titled EP early this year. They’ll be playing in NYC on Feb. 4 at The Shrine at 10 p.m. and on Feb. 17 at the Winter Antifolk Festival at the Sidewalk Café at 11:45 p.m.

Arsenal 3-0 Spurs: Arsenal complete decade of dominance
Arsenal 3 (Van Persie 42, 60, Fabregas 43) Tottenham 0
(Premiership)
A victory that was as satisfying as it was ultimately comfortable guaranteed that the ‘noughties’ would be completed without a single Spurs victory over Arsenal in the league, a run now stretching to an impressive twenty games. After a week of attempted mind games from various members of the Spurs camp, it turned out once again to be a whole lot of hot air.
Spurs talk a lot about displacing us in the top four, but to reach the Champions League you have to be capable of beating the regular occupiers of those slots. After yet another attempt, they have now failed to win away to United, Chelsea, Liverpool or us in the league since 1993. That’s 65 trips to the top four clubs without a single victory, confirmation if any were needed that they have been a level below for a very long time.
In fairness to them, they came with a gameplan and frustrated us quite successfully for forty minutes. Cesc forced a great save out of Gomes after Arshavin’s run was blocked, Van Persie took a right-footed chance on his left and skewed it horribly wide, and other chances were restricted by our final ball being a little lacking.
But it is quite the myth that you beat Arsenal by parking the bus. It has been effective in recent years, but right now we’re scoring far too freely for that tactic to be effective – it would be much wiser to exploit our defensive vulnerabilities by having a go. Sit back for ninety minutes and you will get punished.
Two goals before half time changed the whole game. First Sagna was given far too much time from a throw in, and for once whipped in a superb cross, which Van Persie anticipated quicker than King, finishing past Gomes, who might have done better. Hilariously, eleven seconds of play later, it was 2-0, Cesc running from the halfway line past two woeful challenges to finish with aplomb.
The scoreline was sealed in the second half, when Eduardo was taken out, everyone stopped, but Clattenburg played advantage, Sagna realised just before the Spurs defence, and crossed for Van Persie. It should never have reached him, but King and Gomes got into an awful muddle and he tapped it into an empty net.
The scoreline flattered Spurs in the end – Eduardo had two wonderful chances, and Diaby shouldered wide when any contact with his head would’ve resulted in a certain goal. As time ticked on, we embarrassed Spurs with some impressive keep ball, but by then they were too demoralised to rise to the bait, seemingly happy to escape without the trouncing they could easily have been dealt to them.
‘Pride cometh before a fall’. Andy over at Arsenal FC Blog made a good point to me after the game – despite Keane’s claims that Spurs now have a deeper, stronger squad than we do, the players they called on to change the game were Bale, Hutton and Pavlyuchenko, hardly an inspirational set. And that’s with only three players missing, less than we have. In future, it may be wise for the Spurs contingent to wait until after the match before running their mouths in the press. Hubris is a painful lesson.
Another reason I am delighted with the win is that I can now wholly condemn the referee’s performance without it coming across as sour grapes. Mark Clattenburg was awful today. And by awful, I mean gut-wrenchingly bad. It is one thing missing things that happen on the pitch, it is quite another to spot them happening and fail to apply the rules. Here is his catalog of errors:
After a couple of minutes, Bentley deliberately and blatantly handled the ball to prevent a counter attack. Clattenburg spotted it, gave the free kick, but didn’t dish out the mandatory yellow. It seems he was saved by it being so early in the game (is there any sense in the unwritten law that it is really hard to be booked inside the first ten minutes?).
Just moments later, Bentley went it high, late and studs up on Vermaelen, a challenge that was without question a bookable offence. Coming so soon after the handball, action was inevitable, but again he was simply warned.
Also in the early stages, Assou-Ekotto kicked the ball away in dissent after a free kick was given against him. We all know that’s a mandatory yellow card, we’ve seen it a hundred times. Again, Clattenburg saw it, and warned the player. You can’t even argue that the referee was showing common sense – they are instructed to brandish a card in these instances, and it is players who boot the ball away in anger that lack common sense.
The only yellow Spurs did get was Crouch, for throwing the ball away after a decision went against him. It was the same action as Assou-Ekotto, but with completely different consequences.
The other yellow card in the game was for a perfectly good Vermaelen challenge.
All in all, it was a bizarre day of refereeing, especially in the opening twenty minutes when it seemed he’d left his yellow card in the dressing room. After Bentley could easily have picked up two yellows inside eight minutes, the law of sod suggested he’d go on to have an influence on the game. But after a while, I forgot he was still on the pitch, so anonymous was his presence. It is remarkable that so much money has been spent on a player who is clearly a million miles away from where he should be at this stage of his career.
Overall, it was an immensely satisfying display. The back five were excellent, Song tracked back exceptionally well, while Cesc, Arshavin and Van Persie are a trio who will conjure goals against anyone, at any time. I was less impressed by Diaby, however, who struggled to dominate midfield. He must be looking over his shoulder, especially with Ramsey putting in the sort of display he managed against Liverpool in midweek.
The one blight on the day was Bendtner’s injury, going off in the first half with a groin problem. Afterwards, Wenger was pessimistic about the prognosis:
“It looks quite serious. It is a groin problem and he will be out for four weeks at least.”
Fortunately, two of those weeks are another international break, so aside from Champions League matches in which his absence shouldn’t be an issue, he may only miss two games, Premiership trips to Wolves and Sunderland. In the meantime, Eduardo may get a few more opportunities, and Vela may come into contention.
But that is to worry about later. Today is about basking in the glow of the feeling of putting Spurs back where they belong.

Not another appeal on the district’s dime
October 28, 2017 at 12:09a.m.
By Amanda Tonoli
atonoli@vindy.com
The Youngstown Board of Education will not make another appeal of House Bill 70 on the district’s dime, says school district CEO Krish Mohip.
Mohip said Friday he will not approve the funding for another appeal.
HB 70, commonly referred to as the Youngstown Plan, was signed into law by Gov. John Kasich in July 2015. It enabled a state-appointed academic distress commission to hire a CEO to lead the district. The bill gives Mohip complete operational, managerial and instructional control. He refers to the elected school board as an advisory board.
Since July 2015, the district has paid Roth, Blair, Roberts, Strasfeld and Lodge $323,363. That amount includes spending before Mohip’s arrival in the district. Of that, the district paid the same firm about $70,000 in fiscal year 2017. The spending cannot be broken down by case; therefore, it cannot be determined how much money went specifically to fighting HB 70, said district spokeswoman Denise Dick.
Mohip’s edict to stop legal funds to the school board comes after Franklin County Common Pleas Court’s denial of a board appeal Oct. 11. The appeal was about the denial of an injunction to stop HB 70.
Other parties to the original injunction include the Ohio Education Association, Youngstown Education Association, city schools teacher Jane Haggerty, AFSCME Ohio Council 8 and the AFL-CIO.
School board President Brenda Kimble already has said the board of education would file another appeal.
Mohip, however, signed a resolution Friday halting district funding of these types of lawsuits, or any legal services that will “hinder the success of” his strategic plan for the district.
The resolution states: “Whereas, now that the board had its ‘day in court,’ and Judge [Jenifer] French clearly upheld the CEO statute and specifically noted the public policy benefits of HB 70, I will honor Judge French’s decision that continuing with the CEO model is in the best interests of our students.”
If the school board wants to continue to be a part of an appeal, it will need another source of funding, not from the district itself.
Other parties to the lawsuit may continue to appeal HB 70.
Academic Distress Commission President Brian Benyo said Mohip is within his rights and authority to determine where the district is going in terms of its spending.
Kimble said the board will not be stopped.
“We have no intention of not pursuing this case, as it violates the state constitution by redirecting public dollars to private entities and it suppresses voters’ rights,” she said.
Kimble said Mohip needs more funding for professional development and decided to make a cut where the board’s legal matters were concerned.
About $4 million was spent on professional development for teachers for their classrooms in fiscal year 2017. The total includes travel, materials, benefits, wages, the cost of training and more, according to school district administration.
“If we lose this district, our kids lose,” Kimble said. “We will do whatever is necessary.”
Regardless of any appeal, Mohip said he will continue to focus on transforming the academically struggling district.
“I would encourage the school board to work with me and my team to do what’s best for the children of this district,” said Mohip. “With or without their support, we are putting our students first and turning this district around.”

Congress reconvenes with guns at top of agenda
February 25, 2018 at 3:46p.m.
After a 10-day break, members of Congress are returning to work Monday under hefty pressure to respond to the outcry over gun violence. But no plan appears ready to take off despite a long list of proposals, including many from President Donald Trump.
Republican leaders have kept quiet for days as Trump tossed out ideas, including raising the minimum age to purchase assault-style weapons and arming teachers, though on Saturday the president tweeted that the latter was “Up to states.”
Their silence has left little indication whether they are ready to rally their ranks behind any one of the president’s ideas, dust off another proposal or do nothing. The most likely legislative option is bolstering the federal background check system for gun purchases, but it’s bogged down after being linked with a less popular measure to expand gun rights.
The halting start reflects firm GOP opposition to any bill that would curb access to guns and risk antagonizing gun advocates in their party. Before the Feb. 14 shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17 people, Republicans had no intention of reviving the polarizing and politically risky gun debate during an already difficult election year that could endanger their congressional majority.
“There’s no magic bill that’s going to stop the next thing from happening when so many laws are already on the books that weren’t being enforced, that were broken,” said Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the third-ranking House GOP leader, when asked about solutions. “The breakdowns that happen, this is what drives people nuts,” said Scalise, who suffered life-threatening injuries when a gunman opened fire on lawmakers’ baseball team practice last year.
Under tough public questioning from shooting survivors, Trump has set high expectations for action.
“I think we’re going to have a great bill put forward very soon having to do with background checks, having to do with getting rid of certain things and keeping other things, and perhaps we’ll do something on age,” Trump said in a Fox News Channel interview Saturday night. He added: “We are drawing up strong legislation right now having to do with background checks, mental illness. I think you will have tremendous support. It’s time. It’s time.”
Trump’s early ideas were met with mixed reactions from his party. His talk of allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons into classrooms was rejected by at least one Republican, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., both spoke to Trump on Friday. Their offices declined comment on the conversations or legislative strategy.

Woman flips van with child inside
July 27, 2018 at 12:00a.m.
Reports said a Cambridge Avenue woman is facing charges of child endangering and fleeing and eluding after she failed to pull over for police early Thursday, and then flipped her vehicle with a small child inside who was not buckled into a car seat.
Just after midnight, an officer tried to pull over a van driven by Alexis Tensley, 28, after he saw it going about 60 mph down a residential street.
The van went through a yard in the 100 block of East Myrtle Avenue before coming back to the road, hitting an embankment and flipping onto its hood, reports said.
Officers saw the child in the passenger seat along with Tensley, who is the child’s mother. Police smashed the window to get them out, but Tensley refused to give the child to police, reports said. Officer Tim Edwards then went into the van, grabbed the child and took the child out.
Reports did not list the age or gender of the child.
Firefighters cut Tensley out of the wreckage, and she and the child were both taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. At the hospital, the child was given to a relative, reports said.
Tensley also is facing a charge of driving under suspension. Court records show she has been driving without a license since at least 2010, when she pleaded guilty in Mahoning County Area Court in Boardman to driving without a license.
Edwards, who has been with the department since 2013, has won two lifesaving awards from the department, one for reviving an infant who had no pulse and another for entering a burning home along with several other officers and pulling a woman out who was attacked by a murder suspect.

NBA greats go geriatric in formulaic ‘Uncle Drew’ A routine game
June 29, 2018 at 12:05a.m.
‘Uncle Drew’
Grade: 2 stars (out of 4)
Rating: PG-13 for suggestive material, language and brief nudity
By Jocelyn Noveck
AP National Writer
For a few shining minutes, “Uncle Drew” is the movie it surely intended to be: funny and clever, quick and snappy, and most of all, fun – all infused with love for the great sport of basketball.
Unfortunately, those minutes come during the closing credits, a sequence entertaining enough to be its own viral video.
But wait – that’s what “Uncle Drew” originally was, anyway: a series of web videos from a Pepsi ad campaign starring NBA great Kyrie Irving as a white-haired senior citizen who shows up on a playground court and blows all the “youngblood” hotshots away. Combining Irving’s talent with the satisfying element of age trumping youthful hubris, they couldn’t lose.
It’s perhaps not surprising that someone sought to make it into a full-length movie – and why not? Alas, the resulting film, made in association with Pepsi and directed by Charles Stone III, falls into a disappointingly formulaic lull for large stretches, squeezing all spontaneity from the proceedings. Don’t fault the talented cast, which includes a squad of hard-working NBA luminaries in heavy aging makeup, and comedy stars including the delightful Tiffany Haddish and Lil Rel Howery, so memorable in “Get Out.” Fault the unimaginative script they’ve been given.
The premise: Dax (Howery), is a downtrodden Foot Locker employee trying to make a buck. As a teen, he was a talented player, but quit altogether when he missed a crucial game-winning shot, and lost his nerve. He’s also an orphan, who never had a sense of family. (Can you start writing the ending of the script right now? Of course.)
Dax is also an amateur coach hustling to get a team ready for a tournament at Harlem’s storied Rucker Park (where many NBA greats have played), and win a hefty cash prize. But his nemesis, Mookie, has different ideas.
Mookie – a nasty-funny Nick Kroll, more nasty than funny here – steals Dax’s team from under him, including his young star Casper (Aaron Gordon of the Orlando Magic.) It hardly comes as a surprise when Mookie steals Jess, Dax’s girlfriend, too. Jess (an underused Haddish) boots Dax from their apartment, and when he hits the street with a suitcase, she calls him back: she needs the suitcase. He re-emerges with a garbage bag. Ouch.
Locals at the barber shop suggest Dax, now teamless, go find Uncle Drew. And the old man agrees to play – on condition that he choose his own teammates. Road trip! The two set out to gather up a team of Drew’s old cohorts – emphasis on old. Dax is initially uncertain, but as Drew likes to say: “You don’t stop playing because you get old. You get old because you stop playing.”
First stop: the Preacher, aka Chris Webber, hamming it up quite impressively as an actual preacher who sounds something like James Brown. Preacher says yes, but his wife, Betty Lou (WNBA great Lisa Leslie) is not happy; as her guy makes a getaway in Drew’s van, she follows with a baseball bat. (The women in the film, unfortunately, are often either angry, batty, or mere eye candy. At least Leslie will eventually get to show her stuff.)
The group then recruits Lights (Reggie Miller); the joke is that he’s legally blind, but believes in his ability to hit any shot. At an old-age home, they bring in Boots (Nate Robinson), who’s been sitting silently in a wheelchair for years. But he only needs one thing to cure all that. Do we need to tell you what it is?
Finally, we get to towering Shaquille O’Neal, game as always. Shaq’s Big Fella, now a Kung Fu instructor, has an axe to grind against Drew, who will have to address this and other emotional issues if this underdog team will ever coalesce enough to win.
Teamwork. Friendship. Family. Playing for the game’s sake, not money. All these themes come together in a warm-hearted but highly predictable way.
It’s undeniably fun to watch these guys do their thing under gallons of makeup, and the promising Lowery does what he can with the corny script – including one funny “Get Out” reference which we won’t spoil for you.
As for Haddish, she’s a treasure, but has little to do here, and she’s funniest and loosest when we’re not even guaranteed to be watching: during those closing credits. Make sure to stick around.

A Passage Through India
By Eric Hiss | July 28, 2009 | 1
India is one of those destinations that stir the soul, heighten the senses, and stimulate the intellect. A vast country encompassing multiple cultures, religions and languages (21 recognized and over a thousand more dialects), India could never be fully explored in a lifetime, let alone one trip, so don’t try to overachieve. Just breathe deeply and follow your instinct. Be prepared for a trip that will be one of the most challenging you will ever undertake, and certainly one of the most rewarding as well.
To get you started, we’ve listed a few suggested destinations both well-traveled and off-the-beaten path. They represent different aspects of the Indian Subcontinent: kinetic urban centers, evocative architecture, spiritual centers, untamed nature, and in some cases, a combination of several of these attributes. This itinerary also focuses on one region, Madhya Pradesh in India’s center─a good strategy to use when traveling across a country spanning over one million square miles.
Delhi/New Delhi
One of the most important cities in India for thousands of years, Delhi and its scion, New Delhi, located just south and the country’s capital, remain important centers for the country’s culture and economy. Convenient for catching trains, planes, and buses to just about anywhere in the Subcontinent, Delhi is also a fascinating destination in its own right, filled with museums, monuments, and layers of history, complemented by a wide array of hotel choices, restaurants, and nightlife. A few of the more noteworthy locations worth exploring include the excellent National Museum featuring India’s rich legacy; the Old City’s Red Fort; spiritual centers like the modernist Baha’i Lotus Temple and Akshardham Temple, the largest Hindu complex in the world; and the three-hundred-year-old Chandni Chowk market, a bargain-hunter’s paradise.
The Hindu holy city of Varanasi (known previously as Benares) sits at the very center of India’s sacred geography, like the hub of a wheel whose spokes extend north to the Himalayas, east to Puri, south to Kanyakumari and west to Dwarka. Continuously inhabited since the 6th Century BC, this ancient city is defined by its wealth of temples and riparian lifeblood, the Ganges. Here at the river’s edge, ghats or public landings, serve as a hub of activity for Indians of all walks of life. Coming alive at daybreak, these ghats are lyrical spots to watch life unfold as it has for centuries, first with locals and pilgrims coming to the water’s edge for ritual baths at dawn, then the washing down of water buffalo in the afternoon, followed by raucous aartis, or devotional services accompanied by clanging bells and flickering urns that bathe the ghats in sound and color before ending another day. The city itself is a warren of serpentine lanes filled with bicycles, scooters, school kids, cows (and cow dung of course), and touts hustling every trinket and tour imaginable. Dive in and explore! The many notable temples and sacred spots also merit a visit, such as Adi Vishweshwara, Vishwanatha or Golden Temple and Manikrnika Kund. Special tours can be arranged to help you navigate both the mind-boggling alleys and strict etiquette necessary to visit these special places.
Your best route to the mystical temple complexes of Khajuraho is the one hour plane flight from Varanasi, as there are no direct rail or bus lines here. With graceful spires staggered up to ten stories high, some say the temples are meant to echo the Himalayas, abode of the Gods. What is explicitly clear, however, is the temples display of incredible symmetry and unrepentant sensuality. Built by the Chandela dynasty a thousand years ago, the temples─especially on the north and south-facing walls─feature intricatel-carved figures of gods and goddesses, along with everyday men and women, twining in sometimes seemingly impossible erotic embraces. The Western Group of Temples, including Lakshmana and Kandariya Mahadeva (once a Shiva temple), are the most impressive, standing like giant chess pieces on a flat, verdant plain. Scenes of daily life, battles, lovers, animals, and ornately-carved arches and garlands rendered in sandstone on these and other temples scattered throughout the area provide an eternally evocative view into India’s rich and complex spiritual and dynastic history.
Orccha
Appearing almost as a mirage through the mists of time (it’s actually a yellow, sunny haze caused by diesel fumes and the smoke of villagers burning fields to clear them), the slowly decaying palaces and temples of Orccha still speak fluently of past glories. Located in Madhya Pradesh and an accessible five-hour drive from Khajuraho, Orccha, which means “hidden place,” was once the home of wealthy Hindu princes loyal to powerful Moghul invaders. Here, courtly decadence was refined to a high art, with a favorite courtesan’s private villa still resplendent centuries after lavish performances and royal trysts with the raja have been forgotten.
Though almost 500 years old, the architecture remains striking─a textbook example of the fusion of Islamic and Hindu design resulting from the arrival of the Moghuls. One of the palaces has been converted to a hotel, while the village at the approach before the River Betwa has interesting stalls, good restaurants, and several guesthouses and hotels.
Don’t visit India without taking time out to breath in the fresh air and unspoiled vistas of a national park or preserve. Panna, one of India’s largest, can be visited as a day-trip from Khajaraho. Set along the scenic River Ken, the park is home to several species of antelope and deer, including elk-sized sambar as well as both species of Indian crocodiles. The most prized sighting here, however, are tigers, which still roam this former royal hunting preserve. (*Editors note: not only did I spot an adult Bengal tiger, I followed my guides at a full sprint back to our Jeep after another let out a thunderous roar from about 100 yards away while we hiked).
Haze. Fumes. Frenzy. Traffic. And then there is the Taj Mahal. Splendid beyond all vapid adjectives, it simply must be seen. Commissioned by the Moghul sultan Shah Jahan, 20,000 workers toiled for over 20 years, four centuries ago to build this magnificent testament to love, faith, and power. Beyond the sublime symmetry and impressive scale, intricate carvings and inlaid precious stones which detail the structure add yet another layer of astonishing accomplishment to a true wonder of the world. Heading westward along the Yamuna river, Agra Fort is another excellent reason to visit. A symbol of the Moghul’s power over the region, its red sandstone battlements, interior courtyards, and royal pavilions summon the ghosts of times past. Those looking to take a piece of India home with them won’t be disappointed either. Look for inlaid marble tables, vases, beautiful Taj-inspired rugs, and leather goods in nearby workshops and boutiques.

Electors for Temple Newsam (1848)
On 14 and 15 December 1848 an election took place for a Knight of the Shire for the West Riding of Yorkshire in the House of Commons. The candidates were Edmund Denison and sir Culling Eardley Eardley, gaining 14,743 and 11,795 votes respectively. The county franchise at this period included freeholders of land worth 40s or more a year; £10 copyholders and long-leaseholders; and £50 short-leaseholders and tenants. This poll book was published in 1849. Former poll books had been compiled from the sheriff's returns; but as these were now transmitted to the Home Office immediately after an election, in this instance the polling was marked from the check-clerk's returns, carefully compared with the registers marked in the poll booths at the time of voting. The votes for the respective candidates are indicated by the numerals 1 (Denison) and 2 (Eardley). The omission of these numerals indicates that the elector did not vote. Many names which appear on the register of particular townships are completely omitted in this poll book: in all these cases, the same name will be found recorded in some other township, the elector having two or more qualifications. In such cases, his name only appears in the poll book in the actual township for which he chose to vote; or, if he did not vote at all, in that township for which he was qualified that lay closest to his actual residence. The townships are arranged alphabetically within polling district; and within each township the names are arranged alphabetically by surname and christian name, and the elector's residence is given. Many of the electors resided outside the township for which they were qualified - some in other counties. Moreover, at the end of each polling district there is a list of persons registered to poll in that district, from townships is other districts.

IMF Officials Pleased With Jamaica’s Economic Progress
KINGSTON, Jamaica (CNS) An International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation has ended a one week visit to Jamaica saying that economic progress is reflected in high employment levels, an 11-year low unemployment rate, and significantly lower poverty rate.
The IMF Mission Chief for Jamaica, Uma Ramakrishnan, who headed the delegation during the visit that ended Friday, said that the central government primary surplus was 7.7 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the financial year 2017/18, exceeding the budget target by 0.7 percentage points of GDP.
The delegation had arrived here to take stock of progress on Jamaica’s economic reform programme that is being supported by the IMF’s precautionary Stand-By Arrangement (SBA).
“Record high employment levels, an 11-year low unemployment rate, and significantly lower poverty rate—particularly rural poverty—have underpinned the Jamaican economy. Rapid deceleration in food and electricity prices contributed to inflation falling below the Bank of Jamaica’s (BOJ) target range of four to six per cent during March and April 2018,” she said.
She said the gross international reserves reached US$3.7 billion at end-May, or about 25 weeks of imports, even as the current account deficit jumped to 5.2 per cent of GDP in the financial year due to several one-off factors, including imports of capital equipment for mining and security, as well as higher global oil prices.
However, weather swings took a toll on growth in the financial year, estimated to be just below one percent.
Ramakrishnan said the improved central government primary surplus was due to buoyant taxes and some under-performance in capital spending.
She said the sustained fiscal discipline, demonstrated in a primary surplus exceeding seven per cent of GDP since 2013/14, has helped reduce public debt to about 104 per cent of GDP at end-March 2018, down from 145 per cent five years ago.
“Wage negotiations have been settled with union groups representing about 70 per cent of central government employees, and every effort is being made by the authorities to reach agreement with the remaining groups, including the police and nurses, to limit budget uncertainty.”
The IMF team noted that the four -year wage agreement provides a window of opportunity to overhaul the public sector’s compensation structure, including by streamlining the vast and inequitable allowance structure, retaining skills while rewarding performance, and prioritizing government functions.
“The resulting reduction in the workforce from this refocusing of the public sector’s activities will support a durable reduction in the wage bill and help ensure budget resources can be freed up to fund social priorities, combatting crime, and pursuing growth-enhancing capital spending,” Ramakrishnan said.
“We support the recent policy rate cuts and the BOJ’s resolve to cut interest rates further, if needed, to steer inflation towards the mid-point of the central bank’s target range. The IMF team welcomes the progress being made to revise the BOJ Act, which will be critical to the full shift to inflation targeting, and the related work to strengthen central bank communications.
“We also welcome the authorities’ initiative to further entrench fiscal sustainability, including by developing an independent fiscal council and a public financial management strategy for natural disasters,” she said.
The IMF official said that the ongoing Financial Sector Assessment Programme (FSAP) by the IMF for Jamaica is expected to inform financial sector reforms going forward, including on bank supervision and non-bank regulations.
“During the visit, the team met with Prime Minister Andrew Holness as well as the Minister of Finance and the Public Service Dr. Nigel Clarke, the, Bank of Jamaica Governor Brian Wynter, other senior government officials, as well as members of the private sector, labour unions, and the opposition.

Imagine an incredibly complex and amazingly innovative company that’s shaping the future of a whole industry. That’s the reality of working with us here at Anglian Water.
We’re in the business of ‘loving every drop’. That means making sure that 1.1 billion litres of clean and safe drinking water is delivered to homes and businesses, everyday using enough pipeline to wrap around the world three times!

Leadership at every level
The success of our company is built from having inspiring, creative leaders at all levels of the business. Because we believe that leadership shouldn’t – and doesn’t – come from the top alone. We need energising leaders in all parts of the business.

Our global employee development programme (GEDP) is the cornerstone of our people strategy and fosters leadership development by managing the performance, potential, development and careers of our people.
This approach to talent management not only creates career opportunities for those who strive to develop their potential. It also ensures we develop a pipeline of talent ready to occupy senior leadership positions.
Developing tomorrow’s leaders is also about providing excellent learning opportunities. The work of our university plays a key role here, offering corporate leadership development programmes to nurture our future leaders.

Meet the team:
David (Company Director) has been working on cars since the age of 11 when he first got behind the steering wheel of a 1956 Morris Isis and learned to drive around the yard at the family home. Apprenticed in 1971 for five years and still learning 37 years later , proud to have worked with some real tradesmen. During that time the job has seen many changes mostly good, but sadly some things not so. Every day brings a new challenge, sometimes frustration, but always satisfaction and pride.
Andy has shadowed his brother Dave since he left school with a few variations of employers but shares the same love of the job. He joined Barkston Refinishing in May 1983 and celebrates 35 years with the company this year.
Paul son of David was born to spray. Loves to paint something different and wants to hear from you! Normally nobody sees the efforts of his labour as his job is to repair the car so that no one can tell its been done. Give him something different to do and make him happy!
Rosemarie married David in 1977 and still loves him. – what a woman! Rosemarie mans the office on a Friday and generally looks after the money. She is a pussycat most of the time but is feared in accounts departments and by debtors who dare to exceed our credit terms without telling her
Adam has loved classic cars every since he was 11 when he built a 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 from a bare shell upwards and every since he was ready to do anything with a car from learning how to paint it to how to do bodywork on it from welding to panel beating, Adam is our apprentice, joined in September 2016 and is making a good start to his career

Boston College is the top performing college in Greater Lincolnshire, based upon national achievement rates, and is in a strong position financially. We are graded as good by Ofsted and 'A' level pass rates are 100%, with HE student satisfaction the joint highest nationally for the second consecutive year. As a general Further Education College, we provide training and education at all levels to anyone over the age of 16 and enrolled over 7000 students last year. We offer courses ranging from introductory taster sessions, through Foundation Learning (for people with mild to moderate learning disabilities), courses at levels 1 - 3 across our curriculum and on to Higher Education.
We have campuses in Boston and Spalding in Lincolnshire and we attract students in an approximate 30 mile radius. We employ around 450 people in a range of full-time, part-time and bank roles with a turnover of £15m last year. We are Boston's second biggest employer.
Boston College is part of the public sector. This means that our focus is on being a positive part of the local community and enabling people to make the most of their lives. Many of our former students tell us that the college has changed their lives.
Many people would think of a College only employing teachers or lecturers but we have a very wide variety of roles at Boston College. In addition to our qualified academic managers and teaching staff these include learner support staff, counsellors, vocationally qualified technicians and qualified professionals in roles such as finance, funding, estates, health and safety and human resources. All staff are expected to put the well-being and development of the learners as their first priority as they carry out their roles. Extensive training and support is provided to help people excel in their roles and ensure we all reach our potential. Within our Small Animal Unit we have a range of animals and reptiles which need caring for 365 days a year so some staff will be in on Christmas Day looking after the welfare of snakes, not many employers can say that!
Employees have the opportunity to transform people's lives every day and make a difference, whatever their role at the College. FE is a remarkable sector with constant new challenges and our supportive culture of respect and inclusion with a diverse range of colleagues from all backgrounds make Boston College a great place to work.
The College aims to provide an excellent working environment enabling a good work-life balance. We employ a wide range of people across all ages and try hard to reflect the local community in our workforce. We don't just employ teachers - there are a huge variety of jobs within the College including estates, marketing, administration and management as well. There are opportunities to progress within both business support and teaching roles and we do look to promote internally where possible.
We offer free access to a Health and Wellbeing service to all employees and together with generous holiday, sickness and pension schemes provide a supportive yet exciting place to work.
Further Education (FE) is central to the development and growth of the UK's economy. Training to improve people's skills levels is crucial if we are to continue to increase living standards and compete internationally with the quality of our goods and services. People already in the workforce need access to high quality training in order to gain promotion or change career and the College provides this. The focus on Apprenticeships and technical education

A chain of large holiday camps in the United Kingdom. Butlins was founded by Billy Butlin to provide affordable holidays for ordinary British families in Skegness.
Butlins is one of the most recognised brands in the UK holiday market, offering short breaks all year round at three great British seaside resorts. Our founder, Sir Billy Butlin, opened his first resort in Skegness in 1936. Right from the start his aim was to bring colour and happiness to the lives of the nations’ hard working families.
To fulfil this promise to his guests, he knew there should be ‘someone to look after them always’. So, our famous Redcoats were born, welcoming guests with a friendly smile, easing them into their holiday mood with a helping hand and a cheery word. To this day, our Redcoats take centre stage, but we believe everyone on the Butlins team should share this sunny disposition; a ‘nothing’s too much trouble’ attitude aimed at relaxing our guests and making them feel cared for.
Our three resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness attract over 1.5 million guests every year, with many guests returning year after year. We know it’s our teams true intent to delight that brings them back. This is why we make it our top priority to hire the right attitude; those with natural ability to ‘host’ regardless of their role within the business.
Carrington Communications
Carrington Communications is Lincoln's first truly digital PR agency, providing a range of PR services to startups and SMEs across Lincolnshire and the East Midlands. Founded in 2016, our fast-growing, results-driven agency now employs a team of PR professionals and works with more than 20 organisations.
We create campaigns that are built on great ideas, communicated to the right audiences and through the right channels to help its clients grow. We combine time-honoured PR and journalistic skills with the latest SEO techniques and industry know-how.
Carrington currently employs three PR professionals who bring a wealth of industry experience and expertise to the agency. Our team is solely made up of senior members of staff with backgrounds in broadcast journalism, international PR and digital marketing. We’re excellent communicators and writers who are dedicated to helping our wide range of clients to get their stories in the media and build relationships with the people that matter to them.
Being a young agency, the experience that individuals can bring to the team is key and industry experience or a degree-level qualification in public relations, journalism, marketing or similar is essential for PR executives. Journalism and PR are closely linked and two members of the team have Masters degrees in Journalism as well as undergraduate degrees in Politics and Law, going on to pursue careers in in-house PR, agency work and broadcast journalism before joining our team.
At Carrington, we're driven by PR that’s profitable. We love great coverage (and coffee!), have a great atmosphere in the office and take everyone's ideas on board. As a startup agency we work flexibly and there's plenty of room for growth professionally and personally which we believe is a real benefit for any new starter. Similarly, as a small team we have the luxury of working on clients that we enjoy and can put ourselves forward for tasks that enable us to play to our strengths.
We use the latest and greatest digital tools for both work and admin, creating a streamlined way of working that's simple, future proof and forward thinking. Being based in Lincoln is also great, because we're on the doorstep of other startups and long-standing businesses, while being able to travel easily to rural locations, larger cities and even London.
PR isn’t the glamorous show-biz profession people think it is, but it is a great industry for creativity. No day is the same in PR. It’s a great profession to get into for anyone looking to turn their curiosity and communication skills into a career. It’s a dynamic, fast-paced industry that keeps us on our toes.
PR is also unique because there are plenty of opportunities for growth and progression. Just as society and the media landscape is changing rapidly, the PR is also changing and evolving quickly too as we make sure that we can get our clients the best coverage.
This creates an exciting environment to work in, especially for people who love to have their finger on the pulse. Working for a range of clients means that in this industry, there’s plenty of opportunity to tap into current affairs which creates a real buzz.

As an ever-expanding and developing organisation, there are many roles within Dalehead Foods that cater to a range of skills and abilities. This, along with a culture focused on training and development, presents countless opportunities for those that join the organisation to expand their horizons and experience new roles or develop new skills that they may not have considered before.
With production at the forefront of Dalehead Food's recruitment focus, there are positions available throughout the entire process, beginning at Dalehead's BQP farm all the way through to dispatch as our product makes its way to supermarket shelves. Operatives within production environments are taught by dedicated trainers to make their way through graded positions which include learning knife skills, how to operate specialised machinery, and, of course, how to butcher meat to the highest quality and to the needs and requirements of our customers.
Outside of production, a huge support system exists housing departments such as Health and Safety, Technical, Human Resources, Finance, Engineering and Planning. They act as the backbone of the organisation who, in return, offer dedicated development and further opportunities for those wishing to take them. One of our most exceptional development opportunities is our Apprenticeship scheme which has seen a number of successful candidates progress through their qualifications and go on to higher levels whilst joining the business and developing their skills further both in and out of production environments including Butchery, Abattoir, Engineering, HR, and Finance, with Health and Safety and Technical Apprentices soon to be joining certain sites.

Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire
Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, is a non-selective, publicly funded school for 13-19 year olds that aims to deliver well-rounded students into the engineering and technology industries through a specialist STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. With a focus on connecting education to industry, students receive an innovative concept of learning that combines technical, practical and academic learning. By doing so, it provides students with something more than the traditional GCSE and A Level curriculum. Exposing individuals to real-industry projects and industry experts, enables them to progress into their dream careers by gaining the skills, experience, knowledge, qualifications and confidence required by todays employers.
Opened in September 2015, the ENL UTC £12m campus is set in the heart of Scunthorpe town centre on Carlton Street, close to both bus and train stations. The campus contains some of the most up-to-date, cutting edge engineering, scientific and computer facilities in the country that provide engaging workshop spaces to learn alongside of the theoretical work.
There are currently around 50 UTCs throughout England that are spearheading a new approach to teaching engineering and technical skills to schoolchildren around the UK. Each UTC has been established where employers need them most and where there are pronounced skill gaps. This is what makes the ENL UTC so unique within the region, allowing the next generation of workers to get much sought after skill sets to make that rapid transition into the workplace.
As the ENL UTC is currently in it's third year, the school is continuing to grow. At the moment we employ around 28 members of staff including both teaching and support staff.
Every staff member employed at the school is passionate about not only their job role but also the schools vision and ethos. Staff do not raise their voices, the school does not have an isolation system and we respect the students as much as we would like them to respect us. The ENL UTC is very focused on the individuals and building those relationships.
From a recent staff survey it stated that 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the UTC was a great place to work, 100% agreed that the UTC has a great vision and that the staff force is well led, and the average staff morale was 8.73 out of 10.
Our staff members believe that there is a sense of belonging when working at the ENL UTC and due to the unique learning environment it allows them to praise and acknowledge students successes and progression.
My job role is as the ENL UTC Marketing and Student Recruitment Officer, and I love my job because every day is different. Not only do I plan strategy for the year, manage all digital platforms and arrange literature, I also get to work closely with students and industry partners to create a sense of engagement throughout the community. Every day I am involved in an activity, event, workshop etc. that engages the students to be more involved in promoting their school.
Recently we have had permission to open the school up to a year 9, meaning that the ENL UTC is one of the first UTCs in the country to be able to do this.
We are continuously progressing and opening up the campus to new, relevant industry machinery for the curriculum as well as engaging more with the local community, showcasing our student talents.

The Vision of Househam
The challenges faced by agriculture are massive. The ever increasing world population relies on the food agriculture produces and this represents a challenge for the industry, globally, unlike any other industry has hitherto faced.
However, bringing more and more land into agricultural use can have detrimental effects of the environment by encouraging deforestation, which releases more CO2 into the atmosphere, and the draining of natural wetlands both of which increase the risk of flooding.
By protecting and improving the vast areas of soil currently under cultivation and maximising its productive capacity with advances in plant breeding, nutrient management, crop protection products and innovative application technology, we should be able to go a long way towards producing higher volumes of food which is healthier, safer and produced in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.
Our aim is to use new and innovative technology to enable us, as leading manufacturers of crop sprayers, to produce machines which enable growers not only to apply crop protection products very accurately, but also to help protect soil structure by reducing soil compaction. Our links with the leading agricultural research bodies and our continuing dialogue with practical farmers and contractors helps us to produce leading edge crop sprayers which meet the needs of users around the world.

Life here at Manor Fresh is much more than just putting product in a bag!

Micronclean
Micronclean, based in Skegness started as a local laundry and has been owned and managed by one family since the 1920’s. At that time, the business concentrated on hand finished laundry services focusing on quality, innovation, attention to detail and customer care. These attributes underpin all the products and services Micronclean now offer which range from our traditional hand finished linen through laundered garment services for both industrial clients and high-tech pharmaceutical companies throughout the UK to cleanroom consumables which are sold in the UK and overseas.
Our ongoing evolution started in the 1970’s when we introduced the first tunnel finisher into Skegness which had the benefit of drying garments using steam thereby doing away for the need for ironing. Tunnel finishers are now the industry standard way of drying garments. We also were the first to introduce Polycotton garments, now the predominant fabric for workwear.
During the 1980’s we built the first cleanroom laundry and we were the first laundry to adopt ISO9001.
The 1990’s saw the introduction of garment tracking and we were the first laundry to use Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology through which we track individual garments in our in-house developed Protrack system. We remain the only major laundry to scan garments both into and out of our sites. We were the first laundry to adopt ISO14001 environmental standard.
The building of Louth in the 2000’s saw the development of the first (and only) large scale ISO6 cleanroom laundry, Louth’s sortation system remains the most sophisticated in the UK. Alongside this we developed an innovative automotive paintshop garment washing process which remains the most effective for that environment. We achieved Risk analysis and Bio-contamination Control (RABC) accreditation, ISO14065, the first Laundry in the UK and still the only cleanroom Laundry to do this. We introduced a patented Mopping system and multipack syringe packs, both of which have genuinely changed the dynamic of the market.
The current decade has seen the introduction of our alcohol trigger sprays for our clean room consumables customers which have challenged 30 years of received wisdom and have transformed the market place. Our Alpha and Beta disinfectant range have allowed customers to move away from chlorine based solutions which have major problems with health and safety due to the vapour as well as the corrosive properties of chlorine based disinfectants.
Micronclean has a turnover of just over £25m and employs close to 450 people across the UK, the majority of these being based at our three main production sites, all based in Lincolnshire. We have an active Continuous Improvement programme driving business improvement for our customers.
Looking to the future we are confident of growth not only in the UK but also in export markets as we seek to leverage not only our laundered garment service and consumables sales but also use our unique laundry knowledge to deliver business opportunities in overseas markets in line with our mission statement.

These eggs are then delivered to a variety of businesses across Lincolnshire and beyond, from farm shops, bakeries and retail shops to independent chefs, schools, restaurants and holiday parks. We're committed to excellence, and are proud to have been named Producer of the Year 2016 Select Lincolnshire Food & Drink Awards, and crowned Select Lincolnshire's People's Choice award winner 2017.
Scaman's Eggs currently employs four people; two warehouse operatives who weigh, sort and package the eggs, assuring quality at every stage, a driver who delivers the eggs to customers, and the Managing Director, Simone, who runs the business. From day one, our staff are encouraged to take part in training programmes, even incorporating other elements into training that would enhance a staff members career. Qualifications include Warehouse & Storage Skills, Manual Handling, Food Safety, Forklift Operators License, Team Leading and First Aid. In our staff, we look for team members who are hard-working, passionate about learning and care greatly for the quality that we produce.
The employees at Scaman's say they enjoy working with a great, close team and that they are lucky to have a good relationship with the 'boss'. As well as working hard within the warehouse, the team will attend local award ceremonies and events with Simone to show their commitment to the business.
It's a very eggciting time for the egg industry! In January 2018, it was announced that egg sales had topped £6billion for the first time in 60 years, with more and more people opting for a healthy, filling breakfast and brunch food. This followed the news that raw, runny eggs are now considered safe for expecting mothers, young children and the elderly to eat. This growing, positive news creates great opportunities for local egg producers and sellers across the UK.

Vertivore Farm
This year Vertivore has hit a big milestone; after two years researching and developing the concept of vertical farming the planning application for our first commercial scale site (in Crowland, Lincolnshire) has been approved. We anticipate starting construction late 2019, with the aim of being operational by 2020.
Our vertical farm has been designed to ensure consistent quality and improved taste. Each of our plants is treated to five-star accommodation throughout their lifespan. Bedded into the finest substrate our seeds begin their journey in a cozy germination chamber. Then, not wanting to cramp their style, our herbs and salads are transplanted into trays where they are remotely shunted and spaced. This allows them to spread their leaves and mature into the young plants they were destined to be.
Inside of the climate chamber, the crops enjoy the benefits of 'summer' all day every day. Under the glow of LED lights they are fed the perfect cocktail of nutrients, each tailored to their very own needs. And why stop at one layer? The trays are vertically stacked making optimum use of space, in fact, space enough for a micro-brewery
What is a Vertical Farm?
An efficient and productive vertically-arranged indoor growing facility using LED lighting and a climate controlled system to provide optimum crop growth.
A consistently high standard of fresh, healthy and sustainable produce can be supplied to the market 365 days a year.
With the global population expected to exceed 8.5 billion and the UK population forecasted to exceed 70+million by 2030, the strain on farming is worsening. Soil is becoming unsuitable for healthy crop production and space for agricultural land is running out. In the UK, we are experiencing warmer winters, drier summers and more extreme events which are affecting crop growth.
The environmental impact of current agricultural practices is huge, using around 70% of available freshwater, and with 95% of fruit coming from abroad, each item on the supermarket shelves travels approximately 1500 miles before reaching the end consumer.
The destruction of ecosystems and impact of pesticides is causing further damage to our world and the food we eat.
There is an urgent need for new innovative agricultural solutions to be propelled into the mainstream…
Grown & harvested 365 days a year, delivery available daily
Carbon footprint reduction through UK grown produce, reducing time in transit and time to reach the customer
Uses between 70-95% less water than traditional agricultural practices
Pesticide free produce
Eliminates agricultural runoff
Closed system – No more weather-related crop failure
Automated operations maximise efficiency
Consistent, high quality supply of produce & improved taste
Contaminant free environment through growing & packaging

Water Management Alliance
The Water Management Alliance
The Water Management Alliance (WMA) is a group of like-minded Internal Drainage Boards (known as IDBs) operating in the Anglian Region. We are building resource and capacity in the Anglian region in order to meet the challenges of climate change, sustainable water and flood risk management. The WMA works closely with our IDB’s, partners, communities and individuals to secure new funding streams and deliver innovative approaches at a local level.
We welcome partnership approaches and aim to deliver value for money projects using local expertise and experience.
Did you know Internal Drainage Boards…?
date back some 900 years and are one of Europe’s oldest water management organisations.
have statutory powers to undertake flood defence and water management works.
aim to manage water levels and flood risk management for people and wildlife sustainably and aim to limit impacts of flood and drought within their drainage districts.
are collectively one of the biggest managers of freshwaters and wetlands in the UK.
manage drainage districts that cover 10% of the land in England and Wales.
manage and maintain over 500 pumping stations, 22,000 km of watercourse and numerous sluices and weirs for people and wildlife.
The Water Management Alliance works for and on behalf of other Flood Risk Management Authorities as well as community groups, NGO’s and landowners. We also deliver significant flood risk management benefits and enhanced environmental outcomes on the ground. Our members are all independent and democratically accountable statutory bodies who seek to protect some 548,000 hectares in East Anglia.
The WMA Eastern Drainage Boards include the Broads IDB, East Suffolk IDB and the Norfolk Rivers IDB.
South Holland:
This includes some of the most fertile arable land in the world and is widely recognised as the bread basket of Britain. The area is home to around 60,000 people, a thriving local economy and an increasingly popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from around the country. The area is both locally and nationally important and worth the cost of defending and protecting, now and in future.
Although the entire area is at considerable theoretical risk of river flooding and inundation from the sea, the actual risk is substantially reduced by the work that we do in partnership with Local Authorities, the Environment Agency and Natural England.
The area's full watershed catchment area draining to the Drainage District is the same as the Drainage District, which means that we can provide a better service than we might otherwise be able to: this is because we are not compelled to take surface water from outside the Drainage District that we have no control over. This gives us an advantage in being able to protect the people of South Holland and reduce the risk of flooding.
If you choose to work for the WMA or any of its Member Boards you will be joining an organisation which is striving to provide employees with a positive employment experience. Whether you work for us as a digger driver or as a member of the senior management team, there will be a considerable variety of challenges in your diverse workload and you will be offered real opportunities for career development.

Chinese Drywall – Home Inspection for Chinese Drywall in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, Spring Hill and beyond.
AAA Advanced Home Inspections offers a free Chinese drywall inspection with a Home Inspection, on homes built between 2004 and 2007, that’s a $275 savings.
What is Chinese drywall?
Chinese drywall is a defective or tainted drywall imported from China. Not all drywall manufactured from china is tainted. Some defective drywall is not stamped at all and there are a few reported cases where defective drywall bears the name of a U.S. company. It is unknown whether the drywall was actually manufactured in the U.S. or made in China and re-branded here. See our Chinese Drywall Inspection from you tube below.
The Hillsborough County Property Appraiser’s Office is evaluating homes and offering a discount of up to 50 percent of the value, depending on the severity of the drywall problem.
The value of the land would not be included in the deduction. Homeowners can call the office at (813) 272-6100 to inquire about the deduction.
There are several theories regarding the cause of the defective drywall.
Many believe that the tainted drywall was manufactured at the gypsum mine in Tianjin, China which used fly ash, a waste material that is a byproduct from the power plants using coal.. Fly ash can leak into the air and emit sulfur compounds.
Testing by the Florida Department of Health however, has revealed significant amounts of organic material present in the Chinese drywall ranging from 5 to up to 15 percent. Strontium sulfide, a material that can emit corrosive gases in moist air, was found at trace levels in testing of hinese-made drywall, the Florida Department of Health said.
Gas emitted from defective drywall corrodes copper wiring, turning it black, some Florida homeowners say. The drywall samples gave off a sulfurous odor when heated, and in at
least one case, sulfide gases corroded copper coils in an air conditioner of a Florida home containing Chinese drywall, said the department, which commissioned the study.
But more testing is needed to determine whether strontium sulfide was causing the odor and contributing to the corrosion, the department said. And more tests are required to determine whether the drywall poses a threat to human health.
Concerns about Chinese-made drywall, which is suspected by some homeowners of ruining appliances and causing health problems, emerged in Florida last year but have transcended state lines, with class-action lawsuits alleging it has caused problems in at least three states: Florida, Louisiana and Alabama. The Florida Department of Health has received about 150 complaints, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says it is investigating the Florida allegations.
Homeowners’ lawsuits against certain manufacturers and suppliers contend the drywall has caused them to suffer health problems such as headaches and sore throats, and left them facing huge repair expenses. The drywall is alleged to emit sulfur-based gases that smell of rotten eggs and corrode piping and wiring, causing electronics and appliances to fail in homes built between 2004 and 2007, around the time a building boom and post-hurricane reconstruction caused a U.S. drywall shortage and spurred builders to use imports.
One of the emitted gases was carbon disulfide, Unified’s report said. Breathing it at low levels for long periods “may result in headaches, tiredness, trouble sleeping and slight changes in the nerves,” according to the Web site of ATSDR, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

“See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft.

Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great. Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses. And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) Moreover, the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly sought it out. ...

Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.

He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both. read more. Share Your Faith Products Gifts

“You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. Scripture Image

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; their clothing is violet and purple; they are all the work of skilled men.

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

Pelosi invites US women's soccer team to Capitol Hill amid uncertainty over Trump invitation

WATCH Women's World Cup champions return to the US
President Donald Trump congratulated the U.S. women's soccer team for their historic World Cup win against the Netherlands on Sunday and tweeted last month that he is planning on inviting the team to the White House, "win or lose."

But amid a public feud with the team's co-captain and top scorer, Megan Rapinoe, Trump appeared less certain about the invitation when talking to reporters on Sunday.
"We haven't really thought about it," he said. "We'll look at that."
The Trump administration has so far hosted only one women's sports team at the White House — the Baylor University Lady Bears — and has not invited any of the WNBA champions since Trump took office. ABC News has reached out to the White House, but a request for comment was not returned.
(MORE: How Donald Trump upended a myth about sports and politics)
But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not hesitate and tweeted an invitation to the players to visit the U.S. Capitol, tweeting, "I’m pleased to invite the players to the US Capitol as a team or individually to celebrate your inspiring victory."
Congrats to @uswnt for winning w/ strength, unity & patriotism. By popular, bipartisan demand & with @USRepKCastor & @RepLaHood, co-chairs of Soccer Caucus, I’m pleased to invite the players to the US Capitol as a team or individually to celebrate your inspiring victory. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) July 8, 2019
Pelosi's invitation comes after Rapinoe, who drew Trump's ire after previous comments she made surfaced last month that she's “not going to the f------ White House” if her team wins, accepted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s offer to visit the Capitol instead.
Consider it done @AOC 🥳
— Megan Rapinoe (@mPinoe) June 29, 2019
This is not the first time that Pelosi and Democrats have gotten in the middle of one of Trump's feuds with sports teams and athletes.
(MORE: US wins World Cup over Netherlands on Megan Rapinoe penalty kick, Rose Lavelle goal)
Last year, Pelosi and Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee — who both represent California — invited the the Golden State Warriors and their families to the Capitol amid news that Trump, who withdrew his invitation to the NBA champs in 2017, had decided not to invite them at all after their 2018 win.
"I stand by the comments that I made about not wanting to go to the White House, with the exception of the expletive," Rapinoe said amid some backlash following her initial comments and criticism from Trump. "My mom would be very upset about that."

United States' Megan Rapinoe, right, stands with her teammates during the national anthem before the Women's World Cup final soccer match between US and The Netherlands at the Stade de Lyon in Decines, outside Lyon, France, July 7, 2019.
Rapinoe, who has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration, was one of the first athletes to follow then-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick's lead in September 2016 by taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem to protest racial oppression and police brutality against black people.
Trump slammed Rapinoe on Twitter and claimed that “leagues and teams love coming to the White House,” but since Trump took office, the president has feuded with a wide variety of sports champs — from football to basketball and baseball — and many players refused invitations to the White House, citing their opposition to Trump.

....invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!
"I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet ... invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!" Trump wrote in a series of tweets.

Teammate Ali Krieger, who defended Rapinoe following Trump's criticism, tweeted that she "will sit this one out as well," and cited her opposition to the Trump administration's actions regarding "LGBTQ+ citizens, immigrants & our most vulnerable."
In regards to the “President’s” tweet today, I know women who you cannot control or grope anger you, but I stand by @mPinoe & will sit this one out as well. I don’t support this administration nor their fight against LGBTQ+ citizens, immigrants & our most vulnerable.

Team forward Alex Morgan said on Friday that the women will decide as a team whether to accept a potential White House invitation.

JENS INGVARSSON
BIOGRAPHY Portfolio INSTAGRAM
Jens Ingvarsson (b. 1984) is a Ukrainian-born photographer, living in New York City.
Having spent his twenties traveling and living like a local in various parts of the world, he immersed himself in foreign cultures and languages for almost a decade, often documenting his experiences and insights with a trusty Contax camera. This in turn has resulted in a deeper and better understanding of his own culture and heritage and a desire to look through the prism of his identity in the ongoing personal and commissioned photo projects. Although a self-taught photographer, Jens draws inspiration from the 19th century academic artists, with his minimalist approach to subjects and the almost exclusive usage of natural lighting.
His recent clients include WSJ, Vogue Ukraine & Spain, Allure, Favorite, Barneys NY, Tommy Hilfiger, Theory, Vince, Club Monaco, Lou & Grey, Revlon, Paul Andrew, Uniqlo, Bloomingdales, just to name a few.

Young & Fast
New Zealand has a proud tradition of producing world class motor racing drivers. Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme and Scott Dixon are just a few who have blazed a trail on overseas race tracks. Now the next generation of speedsters from around the world is coming here for a series that’s fast gaining a reputation as a finishing school for up-and-coming talent.

Pollen Island
Auckland Domain
Lessons of the land
For several years, I lived at Muriwai Beach on Auckland’s ironsand coast and commuted to the city along the North Western Motorway. On the stretch between Rosebank and Point Chevalier, the motorway runs four kilometres along a causeway that appears to span a low-lying island of scrub, crossing a bridge over an estuary outflow before beginning its ceremonial sweep into the big smoke. On windless days, the harbour shallows were a pool of mercury that flooded the mangroves at the island’s edge. During storms, the chop seethed and raged at the road’s fringe, driving salt spray across the passing traffic. It was part of the journey I treasured—a brief brush with nature, a long view to the harbour bridge, a wink of the Waitemata early in the morning. But if someone had told me that this was a marine reserve, I would never have believed them. It’s too close to the influence of industry and urban sprawl, quite apart from the emissions of 100,000 vehicles using this stretch of highway each day. Photographer Darryl Torckler convinced me that this backwater was worthy of attention. Alternatively, I could have listened to my children, both of them mud enthusiasts who enjoy nothing more than fossicking among the roots of mangroves. So I took my kids with me to reconnoitre. Pollen Island is not well set up for visitors. To reach it, one has to sidle down a cycleway, climb over a berm, slither under the concrete spans of the Whau River motorway bridge and clamber over basalt boulders just to reach the almost impenetrable grip of mangroves. On our first attempt, my budding ecologists and I took a wrong turn and ended up beside the motorway, from where we were immediately whisked away in patrol cars—the police officers had never heard of Pollen Island and didn’t seem to share our enthusiasm to reach it. We embarked on a second, better-informed attempt with Kennedy Warne, who wrote the feature The Wilderness Next Door in this issue. To the background thunder of traffic, we wandered among a meadow of Salicornia blushing rouge in a clearing of mangroves, and stopped to watch the ‘slow traffic’—the crabs that emerge by the hundreds from their burrows when a visitor is willing to wait, or the hermits in cone shells that animate slowly across the mud, leaving behind them a pattern-language of madly looping trails. After a while, we ceased to notice the traffic, and the many little miracles of this marine reserve became evident. The children squatted on their haunches to watch the cast of this miniature theatre of mud, and peered through tiny pink binoculars to witness a cerulean blue kingfisher shoot out of the sky like an arrow to seize an unsuspecting crab. Quite apart from the obvious pleasure the kids take in the natural world, these are important and formative perspectives for a young mind; an environmental literacy every bit as important as developing vocabulary. Yet in a world dominated by technology, physical contact with untamed nature is gradually disappearing. Parks have structures for children to play on, plants are set out in rows, green space is drained, grassed, mown and cordoned off. “For a new generation, nature is more abstraction than reality. Increasingly, nature is something to watch, to consume, to wear—to ignore,” writes Richard Louv in the introduction to his book Last Child in the Woods. “As the young spend less and less of their lives in natural surroundings, their senses narrow, physiologically and psychologically, and this reduces the richness of human experience.” As contact with wild nature diminishes, is a liberating, vitalising, terrifying and perfectly natural element of childhood being regulated away? There’s a lot to be said for an unmediated ramble through mud, forests and waterways. And I dare suggest, parents might learn a thing or two also.

Auckland's green heart
In 1845 Governor George Grey set aside 80 hectares of central Auckland for a park. On the crest of an ancient volcano, it is a memorial, a recreation space, a green heart for the city and its citizens.

New Zealander Gerry Gilmore is the most famous astronomer you’ve never heard of.
Mercer to Rangiriri
This walk is relatively easy and can be done year-round—though take care when the river is high and use the alternatives if you need to. Leaving a car at the Mercer Service Centre is the better option, particularly as there is some major road construction work taking place at Rangiriri at the moment. Two pubs and various food options can make a nice end to the day. From the service centre, go over the SH1 overbridge to Skeet Rd (first on the right) and up the hill—where the orange Te Araroa markers start guiding the way. The initial stages have a few ups and downs, though pass through native bush and marshland areas where you’ll see plenty of birdlife and may even have a fantail keep you company. There is a choice of walking past the Whangamarino Redoubt—a historically significant site from the Maori Wars—or walking down through a pocket of DOC reserve, both arriving at the Whangamarino flood protection gates, before the track takes you under the rail and expressway bridges to reach the Waikato River. Down the side of SH1 to the former Meremere Power Station, then the track follows the stopbank cross-country to the rear of the Meremere Dragway complex. The first 9.5 kilometres from Dragway Rd to the Te Kauwhata Pumphouse is the most scenic part of the track. It follows farm tracks and the stopbank, and kahikatea, cabbage trees and puketea alongside the trail give a hint of the original riverside vegetation. Two kilometres south of the pumphouse, watch Ararimufor Tarahanga, an island that was used in former times as a Maori sentry post to detect invaders on the river. High priests here once uttered powerful incantations and sounded alarms through a rock structure known as Te Pahuu o Ngati Pou, warning of any impending danger. The track continues along the stopbank parallel to Churchill East Road for most of the remaining 8.5 kilometres to Rangiriri, diverting onto the road for a period, then returning to the stopbank again for the final two kilometres—though continuing on the road may be a preference for some. Take care near the end as some road construction is taking place.

Into the Chasm
Water pounds my chest and face. Bracing with my legs against the mossy wall, I try to pendulum on the rope and sidestep out of the water, but it has me pinned to the spot. After years of rock climbing I thought abseiling would be the easy part, but this feels all wrong...

The state turns landlord
The wilderness next door
Within sight but out of mind of thousands of weekday commuters who thunder along Auckland’s North Western motorway, Motu Manawa/Pollen Island may be the most overlooked of New Zealand’s marine reserves. But among its mangroves, salt marshes and cockle banks thrives a community of modest critters going about their business—an ecological hotspot on the doorstep of the city.

Herb Trimpe’s The Incredible Hulk Artist’s Edition
Posted by Scott VanderPloeg | Updated Feb 25, 2019 | Reviews
Herb Trimpe was one of the premier artists working for Marvel in the 1960s and 1970s. His extended run on The Hulk is a high point for many fans of Bruce Banner’s rampaging alter ego, with masterful inks by both Trimpe and John Severin. This Artist’s Edition features at least five complete stories by Trimpe and an incredible cover gallery to boot!
IDW Publishing November 11, 2015
12″ x 17″, 168 pages
Order Online: AbeBooks, eBay, Things From Another World, Forbidden Planet
As with all original artist’s gallery editions, this is a collection of classic comic material and I’ll be reviewing the book and not the story. For a complete list of all current and announced editions, with review links, please visit our Index.
This volume includes Incredible Hulk 127, 131, 134, 146, 147, 153 and 156, plus a broad selection of covers. The striking aspect of the work is the change Trimpe’s pencils undergo from the inkers on these issues: Trimpe himself, John Severin, Sal Trapini and Sal Buscema. Trimpe inking his own pencils is the show stopper here, closely followed by Trapini’s work: clean and detailed lines, Severin takes it another direction with a scratchy approach and Buscema is somewhere in the middle.
Along with the issues presented their covers are also in the main body, plus an additional eleven covers in the gallery. Oddly the cover credits are all listed in the gallery, including those in the main body. A first for this volume is a collection of Bullpen Bulletin art by Marie Severin, revolving around Trimpe in the office. They’re fun and playful, giving a slice of everyday life from a bygone era.
All pages but three are from original art scans, and those three are covers in the main body added for completeness and clearly marked. Scan quality is good, with only a few pages of the last story looking a bit soft. Blacks are strong and uniform, with gradients seen only in the last issue.
The pages have aged well, ranging from tan to mild yellowing. Paste ups show the most aging, and are included for art and word correction and panel duplication. Correction fluid and glue also pop up here and there. Not many margin notes on these pages, but Trimpe’s blue preliminary pencils come through loud and clear on the first few issues. It’s fun and informative to see those with the finished inks.
Another captivating design from Randall Dahlk; using the green and purple of the 1970’s Hulk as the colour palette is inspired. And of course those classic Ben-Day dots: the credits, indices and chapter divider pages pop out from the work. Here’s what he had to say about this volume:
With this collection of Incredible Hulk stories, I attempted to give my own vision of classic comic book coloring. I deliberately made the coloring off-register and over lapping. I wanted the color to “soak” into the art boards, and make sure that the line art floated to the top. I guess it’s kind of a “pop art” homage. It feels appropriate for the time period in which these stories were originally published.
IDW has production down to a science on these volumes: thick matte paper stock in a sewn binding. The book comes packaged in a brown cardboard case with a small colour sticker showing cover image and UPC.
This time around it’s not just Dunbier and Dahlk on the book: we have an additional cast credited. Rebekah Cahalin on production, Michael Benedetto on editing and Scott Tipton on proofreading.
Herb Trimpe’s The Incredible Hulk Artist’s Edition closes with a one page biography.

How Presidential Candidates and Political Parties Differ on Issues
A Call to Prayer for your Community, State and Nation
Support high school football players under attack by atheists
Created: Thursday, June 27, 2019:10:48 AM
An atheist group is whining because 18 high school football players proclaimed their faith in Jesus and exercised their First Amendment right to express that faith on public property.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is calling for a penalty flag because players from the Washington County High School football team chose to get baptized near the school's football field.
According to FoxNews.com, one by one, the players walked into a feeding trough filled with water from a garden hose, as a pastor baptized them "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit," all caught on camera by a staff member of Chatom Baptist Church.
FFRF quickly fired off one of their usual hyperbolic letters, demanding the school investigate what it personally deemed "illegal religious events" and to take action against coaches and school staff.
Jeremy Dys, deputy general counsel for First Liberty Institute, a religious liberty law firm, told Fox News the FFRF's "shaming high school kids...is pathetic and needs to stop."
We agree.
I applaud these young people for their bold stand and public profession of faith in Christ through believer’s baptism. It's refreshing to see it on a grand scale such as this.
Sign our petition, showing your support for the students and those who helped organize the baptism service.

Palm Beach Tech’s Golden Palm Awards Celebrates Technology in the Palm Beaches
by Aaron Wormus | Jun 18, 2018 | 0 comments
On Friday night approximately 200 tech luminaries gathered from Palm Beach County at West Palm Beach’s beautiful Waterfront Pavilion. The event was the First Annual Golden Palms award the organization that put all this together was West Palm Beaches very own Palm Beach Tech Association. The event was lead by Palm Beach Tech’s Co Chairs Cam Collins from DockMaster Software & David Bates from Gunster with Adam Steinhoff of Dedicated IT as the master of ceremonies.
Full house at the Waterfront Pavilion
Joe Russo the founder and executive director of Palm Beach Tech started out small. Standing in front of who’s who in technology, told the story of the first Startup Weekend in exact location. The Startup Weekend, which was organized by Nick Mohnacky and Chris Callahan of Startup Palm Beach, kicked off his vision to turn Palm Beach County into a technology hub of Florida.
I remember it well, we were on the same team and we built in 54 hours we developed, designed and marketed an called “The Yo App” (technical note: this was about a year before he more famous “Yo App” was created). The Startup Weekend process forces teams to get together, and not just develop technology but also to develop a business plan and determine that there is sufficient need for your product, before finally presenting it to the Judges. One of whom was West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio.
Palm Beach Post Article on the first Startup Weekend – photo features Joe Russo and The Yo App team
The Yo App made it into top three of that year’s Startup Weekend projects, but more importantly it set off a chain of events that would lead to this night. Honoring people who have worked with Joe Russo and Palm Beach Tech to further propagate technology in Palm Beach County.
Honorees were divided into the following categories

Many forget that Palm Beach County was the original Silicon Valley. When IBM developed the first PC in Boca in 1967 and went over grow the workforce to 10,000 high-tech employees at their height during the 80s.
The fact is that technology drives so much of today’s industry. And I believe that Palm Beach County is uniquely qualified to be a new Technology Hub. The live-work-play qualities of a West Palm Beach and other down Palm Beach County downtown’s, make perfect environment for tech workers. The close proximity to Ft. Lauderdale & Miami as well as Brightline to connect them all. Palm Beach and access to potential to venture capital. Not to mention Florida’s tax-free status which is huge incentive for high-wage salary earners to relocate to the area.
The irony is that we already have so many of these pieces. But all of these individual components don’t add up to much unless you have an organization who is willing to connect all of these pieces. Connect the these individual companies and create the ecosystem for both technology leaders business Builders as well as a thriving opportunities for people who work in Tech.
This is exactly what Palm Beach Tech brings to the table. And if we’re interested in the growth of Palm Beach County it’s so important to support this and other technology focused organizations. Whether you’re a current resident, who wants to find a reason to get your kids to move back to the are after collage. Or you’re a event-producer looking for a younger crowd to market your events to. Or you work for the Convention center and are looking to host technology conferences. Or you’re in the food & dining industry and you want to serve the thousands of out-of-towners that come to the area for those tech conventions. Or you’re a real-estate developer looking to create a modern new downtown business district. Or a FinTech firm looking to hire the brightest developers to create the next big thing. Each of these industries benefit greatly from the work that Palm Beach Tech is doing.
But back to the event. As each of the honorees stepped up to accept their Golden Palm Awards they all told their stories of live and work in Palm Beach County. And then the event broke up to individual celebrations, official and unofficial after-parties.
I left the awards with a feeling of pride of what is being accomplished with Palm Beach Tech, as well as gratitude to Joe Russo and the Palm Beach Tech Association team all the work they have done over the last 5 years to bring us here.
David Bates, Cam Collins, Frank Barbato, Gabriel Goldstein, Alan Murphy, Michael Fowler, and Joe Russo – Board Members who Palm Beach Tech Association’s Award for Meritorious Service

American Steve Stricker claimed a two-shot win at the Northern Trust Open over Englishman Luke Donald at the Riviera Country Club. Stricker began the final round with a six stroke lead but was immediately put under pressure by Luke Donald who opened with three birdies in the first five holes. Steve Stricker responded with three birdies of his own around the turn and finished with a round of 70 to Luke Donald's 66. The win took Steve Stricker to World Number Nº 2, the position he held for three weeks in September last year. Darren Fichardt launched a 239-yard three-iron over some intervening trees and the water surrounding the 18th green to set up a birdie on the final hole for a one-stroke victory in the R3-million Dimension Data Pro-Am. He carded a four-under 68 on the Montagu course at Fancourt to draw away from Branden Grace who shared the lead with him after the third round. Louis Oosthuizen finished second having posted a six-under 66 to set the target for Fichardt. Fichardt jumped 124 spots to Nº 200.

Odd Scraps of Knowledge
October 8, 2012 at 6:06 pm (Uncategorized)
Tags: Mondays, The Philippines
Below is a clipping from a Philippine newspaper — self has no idea what newspaper, or the date of the article, but it was in a desk drawer where self shoves all the odds and ends of useless knowledge she picks up during her peregrinations:
Swindlers fleeced a 41-year-old spinster of 19,000 pesos (about $452) in cash and a 29-year-old female overseas contract worker of cash and jewelry worth 10,600 pesos (about $252) in Pasig City in two separate cases of estafa dubbed as “budol-budol,” police said yesterday.
Rosario Pimentel, 41, single of 22 San Ignacio, Baryo Kapitolyo, complained to police that three men and two women whom she did not identify got from her 19,000 pesos by means of deceit.
Rosemarie Obispo, 29, single, overseas contract worker, native of Iloilo City, of 288 Flower Street, Taguig, told police she was sweet-talked to part with her watch, two rings, necklace and 1,000 pesos (about $24) in cash in exchange for a parcel supposedly containing money worth more than 10,600 pesos (about $252) — the total value of her jewelry and cash — but which turned out to be wads of worthless paper cut like money bills.
Both incidents occurred Aug. 1, police said.
“Budol-budol” is a term derived from a Visayan manner of referring to bundle or cluster of bills.
Pimentel and Obispo are the latest victims of sweet-talking swindlers who operate in tandems or four or five in Pasig City, gypping a 41-year-old market vendor of 185,000 pesos (about $4,406) on July 9 and a 65-year-old widow of 40,000 pesos (about $953) on June 8, according to police records.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
Monday Quote of the Day: Writing, Process

The next AWP Conference will be in Boston. Wow, self wishes she’d been paying more attention to previous announcements. It would have been a serious temptation.
I’m not very good at communicating verbally. I’m somebody who listens more than talks. I like to listen and absorb. But when I need to connect with people and need to reach out, I write.
— Ruth Forman, in an interview in the AWP Writer’s Chronicle, Oct./Nov. 2012
In other news, self was incredibly sad to learn (from Isagani Cruz on FB) that Marilou Diaz-Abaya, one of the Philippines’ first women movie directors, passed away today (Monday, Oct. 8), after a long bout with cancer. She, like Dear Departed Doreen Fernandez, were two of self’s first inspirations.

Having Jennie and son visit!
Jennie, on Hayes Street, this afternoon just before the Andras Schiff concert at Davies. Jennie has the most beautiful scarves!
Niece G was able to join us! It took forever for the bus from her place, so she hopped into a cab and self met her at the corner of Gough and Hayes.
It was a beautiful day in San Francisco. The Blue Angels were putting on a show. We heard them from time to time.
The lovely trio, outside Miette, a bakery on Octavia (near Hayes Street)
The absolute icing on the cake was that self got to listen to Bach, all afternoon. Andras Schiff (whose first performance in San Francisco, 1985, was Bach’s Goldberg Variations) got a standing ovation, and he was gracious enough to give an encore.
Too bad Niece G couldn’t join us for the Schiff concert. She was spending the rest of the afternoon in Golden Gate Park, for the Bluegrass Festival. She said Patti Smith would be performing. Elvis Costello played on Friday.

Kiznaiver Review
June 30, 2016 July 12, 2016 / videogamep / Leave a comment
My first impression of Kiznaiver after finishing the first episode was that, regardless of whether it was good or bad, it would definitely be interesting. The premise was unique, albeit convoluted, Trigger has a strong style and writer Mari Okada (Anohana, Toradora) has written a lot of highly regarded anime before. The first episode also made it very … Continue reading Kiznaiver Review

If you've been involved in the anime community at all in the past five years, you've probably heard two things about Sword Art Online: it's the greatest anime ever and it's the worst anime ever. It was hugely popular when it first aired in 2012, and the backlash that inevitably comes after that much popularity … Continue reading Sword Art Online Season 1 Review
WTF Happened With Evangelion 3.0?
June 11, 2016 June 15, 2016 / videogamep / 7 Comments
Warning: this editorial will contain unmarked spoilers for the Evangelion Rebuilds, especially 3.0. Saying Evangelion 3.0 was divisive is like saying One Piece is long. 2.0 was hugely popular, and for good reason. It kept a lot of the strong character psychology and mech fights that made the original series one of the most popular and influential anime … Continue reading WTF Happened With Evangelion 3.0?
Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014) Review
June 8, 2016 June 9, 2016 / videogamep / Leave a comment
It's impossible to talk about UBW without mentioning the hype surrounding it. Fate/Zero was a massive hit, and people were talking about UBW months before Ufotable even announced which route they were adapting. Ufotable's reputation and Fate/Zero's popularity meant that expectations for UBW couldn't be higher, which ended up being its biggest downfall; nothing could … Continue reading Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014) Review
Fate/Stay Night (2006) Review
Spoiler Warning: There will be some small spoilers from Fate/Zero here since the two are so closely connected. I won't spoil anything major, but there will be some small details here and there. Even though Fate/Zero was the first popular Fate adaptation, it wasn't the first to be released. That honor goes to the 2006 … Continue reading Fate/Stay Night (2006) Review
Fate/Zero Review
June 1, 2016 June 9, 2016 / videogamep / 1 Comment
Fate/Zero has a lot of backstory, both in the show itself and regarding its origins. It was originally a novel series by Gen Urobuchi, but that series was a prequel to an existing visual novel by Kinoko Nasu called Fate/Stay Night. That means that it has to both tell its own story and connect it … Continue reading Fate/Zero Review
