__label__cc	0.538485	0.461515	May 19, 2009 – September 04, 2009, Werkraum im Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (D) "Mind the Gap" presents predominantly sculptural works, which explore interstices and cavities, unresolved conditions and discrepancies. The gap becomes palpable in Gordon Matta-Clark’s interventions and “anarchitectures” and is similarly an essential sculptural element in Via Lewandowsky’s Berliner Zimmer. Ceal Floyer bores into our imagination using acoustic means and Isa Genzken’s architectural pieces attest far more to instability and fragility than they do to sturdiness. With all the cuts and gaps, the holes and ruptures, the notion of solid ground becomes shaky and clarity begins to falter. Yet the gap is also implicitly manifest in the discrepancy between the object and the artwork, between the functional item and sculptural expression. Here the ruptures, cracks and incompleteness serve as a demarcation line between quotidian and artistic givens. It is a boundary, however, which can be transgressed again and again in the process of viewing, of traversing this uneven terrain poised between artistic intervention and a structure informed by life, between abstraction and concrete reference, between formal and narrative readings. Die Kunst ist super! September 05, 2009 – February 14, 2010, Rieckhallen im Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (D) Die Kunst ist super ! (Art is super!) is a new exhibition of contemporary art from the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection. Also featuring specific works from the National Gallery, The Marx and Marzona Collections, it concerns itself with an attempt to expose a surprising variety of thematic and monographic constellations present in the art of today. At selected points in the exhibition, the works from the Flick Collection are complemented by works loaned by artists; some specifically created for the rooms on show, and some loaned from the rich collections of Berlin's museum landscape. The exhibition presents many interesting binaries in terms of the works it attempts to reinterpret. The contrast between the stringent forms of Minimal Art and the proliferating structure of Gartenskulptur (Garden Sculpture) by Dieter Roth, and the contrast between the mirror-clad monumental cubes by Isa Genzken and Otto Zitko's dancing lines, are characteristic of the thoughtful, rigorously academic curatorship which undermines the Flick Collection’s engagement with the Rieckhallen space. The imagery of human homelessness explored by Bruce Nauman and Absalon are juxtaposed with the cosily- furnished Heim (Home) by Franz West and Zimmer (Room) by Pipilotti Rist. In an age that has seen (supposedly) reliable systems of value collapse into crisis, their underlying instability is laid bare for all to see. In this exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof, The Flick Collection presents a new intellectual standpoint; art as independently variable. With unprecedented flexibility, the many fictions, illusions and conflicting themes threading between the works on display all agree with one conclusion: Art is Super! Despite his early death, Jason Rhoades (1965–2007) left behind a prolific sculptural oeuvre. For the first time, Eva Meyer-Hermann chronologically traces the total development and provides exemplary interpretations of this seemingly inextricable work comprising installations that fill entire halls. The texts override every conclusive historical codification which the artist himself always avoided by means of a deliberate “double” view of the facts. Jason Rhoades’ work has its origins in the late nineteen eighties and early nineteen nineties when he studied at the University of California in Los Angeles under Richard Jackson and Paul McCarthy. This was a time when the Southern Californian performance scene began to open itself up to exhibition events and the art market in New York and Europe. Rhoades included performative elements in his spatial installations and developed his own thematic cycles of works from it. His sculptural language is trained on elements of mass culture and evolved metaphors by means of great physical exursions which – in their temporality and singularity – signify the unfulfilled desires for spiritual insight.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3319

Ford v Ferrari Review – 0:01:56 https://chtbl.com/track/38434/traffic.libsyn.com/feelinfilm/Ford_v_Ferrari.mp3 Buck Sanders John-Henry Butterworth Phedon Papamichael MOVIE REVIEW: Ford v Ferrari Posted on November 7, 2019 by Aaron White. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious endurance races in autosports. Conducted on an 8.5-mile circuit in the sleepy French town of Le Mans, the race travels over countryside roads throughout the course of an entire day, requiring teams to swap between three drivers regularly, relay-runner style. Drivers and cars must be prepared for the elements as it rains frequently, and within each lap lie both a challenging 90-degree turn and 200+ mph straightaways. Even beginning the race is dangerous, as drivers uniquely line up on the track opposite their cars and at the drop of the starting flag sprint to their vehicles, rushing to take off in a flurry of chaotic action that is as exciting as it is insane. Winning the race isn’t easy, but accomplishing the feat against fellow manufacturing giants of the industry brings the victorious automotive team great glory and often heavy sales. In 1963, Henry Ford II decided that he wanted a piece of this action, and after a failed bid to purchase Ferrari (including its racing team that won the Le Mans in 1958 and every year from 1960-1965), he decided that if he couldn’t own the Italian sports car manufacturer, he would do everything in his power to beat them where it would hurt most – on the track at Le Mans. And in doing so, a rivalry was born. “Ford v Ferrari” is a biographical action-packed drama from Director James Mangold (“Logan”, “3:10 to Yuma”, “Walk the Line”) that tells the story of Ford Motor Company’s journey to beat its Italian rivals. The key to this project was automotive designer and former Le Mans driving champion Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon), who is brought on by Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) to build a car that could compete with the racing titans of the world. Shelby knows that a car is only as good as the man steering its wheel, though, and despite consistent pushback from Ford marketing man Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas), he eventually brings on his close friend, the sometimes difficult but brilliant English engineer and driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale), to hopefully pilot this new machine to victory lane. Surprisingly, “Ford v Ferrari” has less racing action than you might expect in its 2.5-hour runtime. Mangold really leans into the drama of Ford’s capitalistic motivations and how it complicated the achievement of its own goals due to control issues and typical business-driven decision-making. There are two standout racing sequences, however, that are exactly the edge-of-your-seat, heart-pumping, adrenaline-boosting, high-speed affairs that audiences desire. Expertly crafted and shot, then combined with the delightful roar of racecar sounds and backed with a propulsive score by Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders, these scenes are intense as can be and evoke a rousing response. Character investment plays a big role in this, as audiences are easily drawn to rooting for the Shelby and Miles racing team due to their depiction as wholesome, driven men of integrity who are navigating a challenging business landscape to chase their dreams. The cast is full of wonderful supporting performances, but lead actors Damon and Bale play brilliantly off of each other as both longtime friends and similarly-obsessed colleagues, with the latter being especially noteworthy for his portrayal of a devoted and loving family man who treads the line between egotistical and confident when it comes to his skill with a car. Both bring a great deal of humor to their roles, as well, and deliver a script full of wit and technical terminology with talent worthy of awards recognition. Letts is also a highlight as “Deuce”, the Ford Motor Company President determined to live up to his grandfather’s legacy and keep Ford at the top of the automotive world. Mangold is in top-form, directing with a confidant, fine-tuned precision, and though long, “Ford v Ferrari” is so full of energy and so expertly edited that you never feel its length. Its legendary, wholesome central characters are full of charm and watching their journey is an exciting and joyful treat. “Ford v Ferrari” is undoubtedly one of the best films of 2019, a gripping biopic with thrilling action and smashing performances that is sure to satisfy both fans of human drama and autosports alike, and it will go down as one of the definitive race-car movies ever made.

__label__cc	0.685832	0.314168	Common Sense and NIST's "New Phenomenon" The videos we see showing the collapse of WTC 7 (aka the Salomon Brothers building) appear, for all the world, to mimic perfectly a controlled demolition. I don't know anyone who disputes this fact. News reporters on the day of 9/11/2001 remarked upon it. YouTube video makers show WTC 7 falling down side-by-side with valid demolition videos. The similarities are obvious. Here they are: Rapid onset Rapid collapse (approaching free-fall speed) Symmetrical collapse (building exterior does not exhibit deformations) Sounds of explosions Debris field is basically within the building's original footprint (the goal of a controlled demo) Foreknowledge of collapse, including warning to get away from premises Massive pyroclastic-type dust clouds following collapse In order to account for these classic signs of a controlled demolition, NIST had to come up with a theory that would produce the same visible effects. I'll leave alone, for now, the fact that even with total control of their own computer simulation software inputs, they could not show us a picture that matched the reality. NIST's theory states that fire caused certain steel members to expand enough to break their connections to adjacent steel members. (How the heat was retained by these specific members, or why this steel failed to disperse and dissipate the heat is not covered.) These local failures somehow spread (like the flu?) to neighboring columns, girders, and beams until the entire inner structure of Building 7 failed. At this time, the outer shell, or facade, had no choice but to follow suit, producing the massive total collapse we witnessed. I'd like to take a look at this theory and apply a bit of common sense. Take a look at this image of a table. It is supported by four legs, or columns. Let's say one of this table's legs is cut out from under it. What would happen? Maybe nothing. But we can see that the table would be weak if someone leaned on the corner that no longer had a leg. Alright! What if two adjacent legs failed? What would happen? Would not the table fall over, in the direction of the failed legs? Now, take a look at this table. It has more legs. If one leg of this table were removed, the table would still be relatively sound. If two legs were removed, the table might lean some, depending on whether the absent legs were adjacent or not... and if three legs were removed, the table would probably tilt... in the direction of the removed legs, right? (As long as those three legs were neighbors.) How about this table? It would probably take 3 or 4 legs being removed before this table would become unstable, and again, if it "collapsed," we'd expect that it would definitely lean in the direction of the removed legs. What if one leg between one story was removed? Nothing would happen in this multi-story table. What about two legs on the same level? Maybe we'd see a slight lean, toward the side that lost two legs. Would you expect that all the rest of the legs would simultaneously give way? Neither would I. World Trade Center 7 had 24 core columns. That means, in the middle of this table tower, you would have to add 24 internal columns, or legs. World Trade Center 7 had 57 external, or perimeter columns (legs). Not four. Not eight. Not 24, not even 48... but 57 columns around the perimeter. NIST is telling us that a single connection failed between column 79 and one girder that connected to it, and as a result, a "domino" effect caused the failure of every other column, girder and beam in the entire building within a mere few seconds. And that's why we saw, from the outside, a total, rapid, symmetrical collapse that looked just like a controlled demolition would. If you want to plant a tinfoil hat on me for shaking my head in disbelief, be my guest. But I was endowed with old world common sense from my immigrant mother and grandmother, and I can smell bovine excrement from miles away. NIST's "new phenomenon" is nothing more than a feeble, pathetic attempt to explain away a controlled demolition with false science. Science does not start with a conclusion and then manufacture numbers to plug into computers that eventually come close to the desired result. Science, true science, does not ignore or discount valid observations and real evidence. Science seeks truth, and is not limited by taboos. Science starts with physical evidence... something NIST never had. It is definitely taboo, within the world of government science, to even approach the notion that the events of 9/11/2001 were aided or caused by people we are supposed to trust.

In the one titled NIST NCSTAR 1-9A (PDF), NIST shows us what happened to WTC 7 — in their simulated computer model. Compare that with what the cameras recorded: In section 3.5.3 of the final report titled "Accuracy Appraisal," NIST states, Given the complexity of the modeled behavior, the global collapse analyses matched the observed behavior reasonably well. Posted by Ennealogic at 11:35 AM 0 comments Links to this post Labels: 9/11, conspiracy, controlled demolition, coverup, NIST, propaganda, WTC7 Writing Reports, NIST Style Here's an anatomy of the NIST's 115-page WTC7 final report. They use two pages to tell us what happened, and 14 pages to show pictures generated from their computer simulations. Don't miss the 4 pages where they put in disclaimers about the simulations! I found precious little "beef" anywhere in the 115 pages. 38 Preface including disclaimers, contributors and contractors, dedication, table of contents, abstract, list of figures and tables, list of acronyms, executive summary, etc., etc. 17 Historical World Trade Center information, WTC 7's structure, occupancy by floor, and NIST's best guesses about what floors were on fire when, and how the fire moved around. 2 NIST describes "Probable Collapse Sequence." 2 NIST lays out the hypothesis they ended up proving. 2 NIST does its best to debunk a commonly held hypothesis. 14 NIST treats us to a lengthy discussion about the computer simulations they used to prove their initial hypothesis. 4-1/2 NIST adds disclaimers re: the results of their computer simulations. 1/2 NIST shows its math for calculating the actual speed of fall for a few stories of WTC 7 at the beginning of the collapse, and compares it with free-fall speed. 14 These pages recap the findings. 10 NIST provides recommendations based on their findings. 11 Finally, these many pages are devoted to appendices and references. 115 TOTAL BS Posted by Ennealogic at 9:49 AM 0 comments Links to this post Labels: 9/11, brainwashing, controlled demolition, coverup, crime, investigation, NIST, World Trade Center, WTC7 WTC7 Coverup - Thermal Bullcrap Had the latest NIST report actually investigated the collapse of WTC7, we may rest easier with their conclusions that a heretofore unknown process for bringing down steel-framed skyscrapers was in any way valid: fire-induced thermal expansion. But they didn't. Nist claims that they took a cursory look at a controlled demolition scenario. But what they did — all they did — was to dismiss the possibility because it was untenable. Why? Their only reason was that an explosion of sufficient size to blow column 79 (their key critical core column) would have caused a sound event that they were unable to verify actually happened. All you have to do is Google "WTC7 Explosions" to find multiple videos recounting explosions in World Trade Center 7. Eyewitness accounts. Actual video taken on the day. There is no dearth of reports of explosions in WTC7, starting from before... yes BEFORE ... the twin towers even fell. But hey, NIST was unable to find any of those accounts or videos, so they were left with the supposition that building 7 had to have collapsed by some mechanism previously undocumented. With all due respect to Dr. Shyam Sunder and his contractors (which included Larry Silverstein and his development group), it is painfully obvious that they were overtly instructed to find a different conclusion from the most obvious one: controlled demolition. They go so far as to say, hey! what we found looks just like controlled demolition but ... lookie here, it really isn't! It's really uhhh fires, regular office fires, uhhh... see here, column 79, got baked man, and heck, once that happened, the result was uhhh... total failure, into a neat pile! I mean, believe me, I work for the Government! Forgive me for doubting. NIST did not ever examine any physical evidence. NIST did not explain the dozens of witnesses who heard explosions. NIST did not ever view (or explain, if they did) the dozens of videos that clearly show explosions. NIST did not ever examine the forensic evidence gathered by other researchers (to wit, Dr. Stephen Jones). NIST did not build any scale models, they did it all by computer simulations. NIST took 7 years to foist this bastard of a report on us. Lately, TPTB are growing in their arrogance and their outrageousness. They know we have no WMD to strike them back with. Or do we? Labels: 9/11, conspiracy, controlled demolition, investigation, lying, NIST, propaganda, WTC7 WTC7 Thermal Expansion Hoax: NIST Disses 9/11 Truthers Remember, Remember, 11th September There are some images of the impossible destruction on 9/11 that I can't forget. Here's an aerial view of the rubble taken a couple days after the event. The smoke is still rising from the piles of both towers and building 7, in spite of firemen spraying millions of gallons of water on the heaps of debris. You can see severe damage to the building at the lower left, and more holes torn into the roof of the building at the lower right. The buildings across the street however (Verizon on the upper left, and the Post Office on the upper right) appear relatively unscathed -- except for the one in between. That's the remains of WTC7, the first and only steel-framed building over 10 stories to be totally destroyed by office fires and a "new phenomenon" NIST calls "fire-induced thermal expansion." Here's a color-coded image identifying the remains: Early theories about the demise of WTC7, put forward by Popular Mechanics in a March, 2005 cover story, and supported with statements from Dr. Shyam Sunder, supposed that serious damage caused by Tower 1's explosive collapse turned building 7 into a wreck just waiting to fall down. We have yet to see any photos revealing such extensive damage but Popular Mechanics said they saw them in a private showing. We were supposed to take their word for it. I always wondered how the Verizon building and the Post Office escaped similar damage from Tower 1's energetic debris. And then, I wondered why those two buildings showed no damage from the implosion of WTC7 either. As we're told now, by the same Dr. Shyam Sunder, all that was needed to totally destroy this 47-storey steel skyscraper and make it look just like a controlled demolition, was an office fire on a few floors. NIST claims that those fires weakened the connection between a beam and a critical northeast core column. This initiated a domino effect resulting in first one, then several floors giving way. That left the critical core column unsupported over the span of 9 floors, so it buckled causing more floors and beams to break loose above, and then like dominos, the other 80 columns went along for the ride in rapid succession wherein the whole building fell down. Dr. Sunder reassures us that they've got it right this time. "The public should really recognize the science is really behind what we have said," he said, adding: "The obvious stares you in the face." Labels: 9/11, conspiracy, investigation, NIST, WTC7 Final NIST Report on WTC7: Color Me Unconvinced WTC7 on the afternoon of 9/11/2001 After nearly 7 years of investigation, the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), charged with producing reports explaining how the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed, held a press conference today announcing the publication of a final report on WTC7 (pdf) — the third building in the New York City complex that inexplicably collapsed in 7 seconds late in the afternoon of 9/11/2001. From today's press release (emphasis mine): The fall of the 47-story World Trade Center building 7 (WTC 7) in New York City late in the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, was primarily due to fires, the Commerce Department?s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced today following an extensive, three-year scientific and technical building and fire safety investigation. This was the first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building, the agency stated as it released for public comment its WTC investigation report and 13 recommendations for improving building and fire safety. Reasons for WTC7's collapse have been touted, over the years, by Popular Mechanics, FEMA, and NIST itself. A favorite debunking theory was that debris from the exploding towers caused excessive, critical damage to WTC7. Here's what Popular Mechanics said to debunk "conspiracy theorists." Note that PM quotes Shyam Sunder, the same fellow who gave the press briefing today: The most important thing we found was that there was, in fact, physical damage to the south face of building 7," NIST's Sunder tells PM. "On about a third of the face to the center and to the bottom — approximately 10 stories — about 25 percent of the depth of the building was scooped out." NIST also discovered previously undocumented damage to WTC 7's upper stories and its southwest corner. Well, in today's announcement, we hear: Finally, the report notes that "while debris impact from the collapse of WTC 1 initiated fires in WTC 7, the resulting structural damage had little effect in causing the collapse of WTC 7." How conveeeenient! Now the photographs of this excessive south side damage that Popular Mechanics claimed they alone were privileged to see no longer have to be produced...! In it's initial report, FEMA postulated that "a fire fed by fuel oil caused the collapse" and suggested that the cantilevered construction over the power station was a contributing factor in WTC7's demise. At least FEMA acknowledged that more study needed to take place (emphasis mine): The loss of the east penthouse on the videotape suggests that the collapse event was initiated by the loss of structural integrity in one of the transfer systems. Loss of structural integrity was likely a result of weakening caused by fires on the 5th to 7th floors. The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analyses are needed to resolve this issue. Yet today, NIST tosses this notion into oblivion: "Video and photographic evidence combined with detailed computer simulations show that neither explosives nor fuel oil fires played a role in the collapse of WTC 7," Sunder said. The NIST investigation team also determined that other elements of the building's construction — namely trusses, girders and cantilever overhangs that were used to transfer loads from the building superstructure to the columns of the electric substation (over which WTC 7 was constructed) and foundation below — did not play a significant role in the collapse. Instead, we are told that ordinary office fires "burned out of control" (see picture above) and created enough heat to expand steel beams which eventually caused Floor 13 (unlucky floor, eh what?) to lose its connection, and then in domino-like fashion, all the other columns and beams simultaneously failed resulting in a total collapse. In 6.5 seconds. In a neat pile. Totally symmetric. Read it and try not to laugh: Determining the probable collapse sequence for WTC 7, NIST found that the impact of debris from the collapse of WTC 1 ignited fires on at least 10 floors of WTC 7, and the fires burned out of control on six lower floors. The heat from these uncontrolled fires caused thermal expansion of the steel beams on the lower floors of the east side of WTC 7, damaging the floor framing on multiple floors. Eventually, a girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to a critical interior column that provided support for the long floor spans on the east side of the building. The displaced girder and other local fire-induced damage caused Floor 13 to collapse, beginning a cascade of floor failures down to the fifth floor. Many of these floors had already been at least partially weakened by the fires in the vicinity of the critical column. This collapse of floors left the critical column unsupported over nine stories. "When this critical column buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the chain," Sunder explained. "What followed in rapid succession was a progression of structural failures. Failure first occurred all the way to the roof line — involving all three interior columns on the most eastern side of the building. Then, progressing from east to west across WTC 7, all of the columns in the core of the building failed. Finally, the entire façade collapsed." I wonder if there is any other possible explanation for a rapid onset for the failures of 81 core and perimeter columns? (Like some helper mechanism to dismember the structural support?) We have to recognize that there are certain paths NIST would not walk. And since the physical evidence has been destroyed, there can be no conclusive finding from any outside investigation. How conveeeeenient. Labels: 9/11, conspiracy, controlled demolition, coverup, crime, debunkers, investigation, WTC7 Innocent Explanation for Ivins' "False Anthrax Sample" The FBI and most of the media continue to claim that Dr. Bruce Ivins submitted false anthrax samples designed to mislead investigators — therefore, this goes to show that Ivins must be guilty of mailing the anthrax letters. If true, this would be fairly strong, although circumstantial, piece of evidence. If untrue, I think we can reasonably accuse the FBI of trying to mislead us. In February 2002 the FBI asked for anthrax samples from flask RMR-1029 in Bruce Ivins' lab. Ivins provided two; one went to the FBI (they subsequently destroyed it) and the backup sample went to scientist Paul Keim in New Mexico. These samples were smears, or a representation of the entire set of cultures in the flask. After destroying the first sample, the FBI asked Ivins for another sample, which he provided early in April. The instructions were given verbally, and the subpoena with written details on the required protocol was not delivered until May 2002, a month or more later. The sample Ivins provided this (second) time was a pure culture sample instead of a smear. Remember, he had already provided a smear. The FBI now says the first sample was prepared in such a way that it would make for poor evidence in court, and that is why they threw it away. (Is this believable?) The FBI also now says the second sample was false, that is, not from the RMR-1029 flask, because it did not contain the newly discovered genetic markers unique to the anthrax used in the attacks. (Are all the king's horses and all the king's men unable to distinguish a smear culture from a pure culture? Apparently so. Otherwise, at the time, they would have asked Ivins for another specimen or gone and gotten a replacement smear culture sample themselves.) The second sample was a pure sample cultured from the dominant strain in this flask of mixed cultures. Of course it didn't match the initial sample precisely. Years later, the FBI remembered there was a backup of the original sample provided by Ivins, and they retrieved it from Keim. Surprise, surprise, it had the newly-significant genetic markers. It was exactly what Ivins had given them in the first place. Do I need to point out how ridiculous this "proof of guilt" is? It looks to me like Dr. Bruce Ivins was doing his best to help the FBI, when it was the FBI itself who trashed his first sample and miscommunicated what they wanted for the second sample. So, who is really misleading who? (Related documentation with links below.)

(4) Ivins is believed to have submitted false samples of anthrax from his lab to the FBI for forensic analysis in order to mislead investigators... USA Today Still Headlines False Sample Story Ivins submitted a second sample in April — one that court papers say was intended to mislead investigators. That sample did not contain the specific genetic markers of the anthrax used in the attacks. LA Times Repeats False Sample Claim Ivins, recruited to assist the FBI, had failed in February 2002 to provide an anthrax sample, known as RMR-1029, as requested by a bureau agent. The FBI did not obtain the RMR-1029 from within the Ft. Detrick laboratory complex where Ivins worked until two years later, when an agent took possession of a flask holding that material. NPR Repeats, Then Questions Claim (4) Ivins is believed to have submitted false samples of anthrax from his lab to the FBI for forensic analysis in order to mislead investigators; That is a far cry from the picture Justice Department officials painted Wednesday. They say Ivins not only dodged their inquiries, but also tried to outright "mislead" investigators. They say Ivins submitted false anthrax samples from his lab to throw off investigators. In one instance, the documents say, investigators asked Ivins for a specific sample of anthrax they needed. Ivins gave a sample, but when they went to the lab themselves and took the sample, it did not match what Ivins had given them. When they confronted Ivins, the documents say, he denied it was true. Kemp says when investigators asked Ivins for an anthrax sample, he thought they were asking for a pure culture sample. It wasn't until six weeks later that they called and said they had wanted something else. Christian Science Monitor Buys FBI Story Yet the FBI had requested a sample from a flask of anthrax spores which Ivins held as early as 2002. In April 2004, after discovering that the samples Ivins submitted in fact had not come from the requested flask, RMR-1029, an FBI agent accompanied Ivins into a biocontainment suite at Fort Detrick to seize the flask. Daily Princetonian Attempts to Counter The documents allege that Ivins sought to mislead investigators, claiming the anthrax used in the attacks was different from the batch maintained in his laboratory and giving them false samples of anthrax from his laboratory. They also say Ivins had mental health issues and sent a suspicious e-mail a few days before the anthrax attacks with similar wording to the laced letters. But Kemp said it is actually government officials who are making misleading statements and failing to mention that Ivins passed two polygraph tests in 2002. "He submitted proper samples in February," he said. "The government lost one, and the other was sent to a lab in New Mexico, and the government can trace it right back to his lab." NPR Conducts In-Depth Interview With Ivins' Attorney NPR: One of the things that came out of this idea that they can link the spore sample exactly to Ivins was that he also misled the FBI. There was this big thing in Wednesday's press conference about how they had asked for a sample from him, and that when they went out themselves and took the sample, that in fact it was different from what Ivins had given them. Kemp: So many problems with that statement. It's hard to know where to begin. No. 1, I'll try and be organized in this, he provided a sample in 2002, the month of February of 2002. He provided it in a way that he thought matched their directions that at that point were orally given. There really were, I believe, two different vials or preparations, slides, I think they're called, and he did it in a way that ultimately matches their written protocol for the preparation of these slides. One of them is delivered to the government, and they either lose it or destroy it. The second one is sent to a well-known scientist, somebody on a caliber with Dr. Ivins, in terms of this kind of thing. Paul Keim is his name, now at the Northern Arizona State University, at that point from the University of New Mexico. And he has it, maintains it. It's available for analysis, and when the government loses their slide or destroys it, they do go to the slide that Dr. Keim has, and are able to make the analysis from that. So, that's the story, as to the February one. Not only did he not falsify the submission of samples, this is a government screw-up, for the February sample. In the April sample, here's what they contend is wrong. They contend that the nature of the slide he prepared was improperly taken from RMR-1029, that they wanted him to prepare a smear sample of the entire set of cultures in the beaker. What they say he submitted is what's called a "pure culture" sample. And to understand that, you have to know what these things look like. If you examine grossly, meaning with the naked eye, the anthrax that is prepared in a petri dish, an open glass petri dish, you might extract some of this stuff from the beaker — you can't really work with the beaker because it has a narrow top — so you take it out and put it in a wide petri dish and you let it grow in an agar substance. And it ferments and grows upon itself. There will be little globules of anthrax in a harmless form, it's like wet oatmeal or something like that, and you can dip down and take each globule, or a representative set of globules ? that's called taking a "pure culture" sample. What they wanted him to do with that open petri dish was to take a smear across them all. And that's what he did the first time. He submitted a smear sample, it was properly done. The second time, he did the pure culture sample and sent it in. That should have been readily apparent to them, as soon as it was received. They don't get to it for a long time. RMR-1029 was there. It has never been adulterated. It has never been tampered with. Why didn't they go back and say, "You took a pure culture sample, can you take a smear sample?" Why didn't they go back and take a smear sample themselves? So that's a long-winded way to the first point. Second point, he's polygraphed twice, during the same year. They ask him, you know, "Have you told us all you know about this? Are you hiding any evidence?" as part of these normal polygraphs, but also that are directed by the investigators here. They now discount the reliability of his passing in the polygraphs because it was conducted by the Defense Department, not by the Justice Department. And so we're left with this disparagement of the Defense Department, the same way Mr. Taylor disparaged the Defense Department yesterday during his news conference, saying, in a backhanded way, "Well, that's a matter for the Defense Department," namely, why was he allowed to continue working at the lab, with full access to these pathogens, right up to the end of the investigation? NPR: So in your mind, this idea that the FBI came to him and said, "We need this specific sample," and that it was some kind of test and that he sent in something different, it just has no credence? Kemp: It is unbelievable to me that in, I guess the second-highest-profile case going on at the time, the first highest-profile case being the Sept. 11 attacks, in this time frame, that they wouldn't go take the sample themselves or direct him to do it while one of their agents watch him. The final point, the biggest point: He doesn't get the written protocol as to how to submit the samples until May 24 of 2002. The sample was submitted at their direction on April 10 of 2002. They'll say, in defense of that screw-up, that he was present at a meeting at which they think it was discussed, that, "We want you to take smear samples." That to me is inconceivable. It's part of an investigation of a case of this significance. All of that is beside the point. He'd already submitted a proper sample at the beginning of February, I forget the exact date, in February of 2002. And they lost the slide, or destroyed it. I don't know which.

Bush Everybody knows conspiracy theorists are crazy people. They wear tinfoil hats. They are idiots and morons who should be shut up, if not locked up. They come up with ridiculous reasons for events that are already satisfactorily explained by people in positions of authority in our Government and Media. They have the gall to keep asking questions and raising doubts. They're never satisfied! Anyone who has been awake over the last several years knows that people in positions of authority in our Government and Media try to manipulate us and purposely mislead us. They busily rewrite history and even tell us outright lies with straight faces. But conspiracy nuts are looney kooks. Everyone in their right mind knows that. Why should we concern ourselves with any of their conspiracy babbling, or spend time looking at questions those fools keep asking? After all, people in positions of authority in our Government and Media wouldn't do anything to harm us. They can be trusted to act in our best interests. It's downright hateful and anti-patriotic to think otherwise. People in positions of authority in our Government and Media have floated several theories concerning Bruce Ivins' motives to mail anthrax. What makes their theories any more believable than the theories espoused by others? What makes one theory credible and another theory unthinkable? When does a theory become a "conspiracy theory," and therefore outlandish? We owe it to ourselves to don a tinfoil hat and ask questions of our Government and Media when they say, "Trust us." Labels: 9/11, amerithrax, anthrax, anthrax case, Bruce Ivins, conspiracy, propaganda Doubts About Bruce Ivins as Anthrax Mailer I'll be very surprised if it turns out that Dr. Bruce Ivins was the sole perpetrator of the anthrax letters. Here are a few reasons: Who benefited from the scare? Not Ivins. Who had a supportable motive? Not Ivins. Who had access to the equipment to produce the highly concentrated, 99% pure, military grade polyglass-coated spores (found in the Daschle and Leahy letters)? Not Ivins. Who had the know-how to produce this weaponized material? Not Ivins. Who can be placed at the scene where any of the hoax or real anthrax letters were mailed? Not Ivins. The attempt to convict Ivins posthumously, in the press, is supported largely by an unsubstantiated report from a drug-addiction counselor (who had repeated convictions for DUI and was a home detention 'inmate' on the date Ivins' reportedly made threats in front of her group therapy session). She told the court in a peace order hearing that psychiatrists had diagnosed Ivins as a sociopathic revenge killer bent on homicide who had killed before. There is NO independent confirmation of this anywhere. The FBI says, "Trust us, we got the right guy this time." I'm not buying it. Those in the government who were pressing for military aggression in the Middle East. Those who wanted to elevate the fear level of Arabs in general, Muslims in particular. Those who profited from the sales of Cipro and other drugs to treat anthrax infection. Who had a motive? See Cui bono. Who had access to the highly specialized equipment? Those persons working to develop (probably not legally, either) bio weapons. That's not what USAMRIID did, where Bruce Ivins worked. His lab developed vaccines to prevent anthrax infection, and didn't even use powdered anthrax in his work -- his challenge bacteria was in liquid form, as was the now-infamous vial of RMR-1029. Who had the know how? The same persons who had access to the equipment, the same persons who had been working for years on developing particularly nasty strains of bacillus anthracis for weapon use. Who can be placed at the scenes of the mailings? We know Bruce Ivins can't. Hatfill came close. Until we see how the FBI eliminated their 'universe' of other persons who might have had access to the anthrax, we'll never know.

The talking heads on TV, witness Homeland Security head Chertoff, still point to 9/11/2001 as a seminal event... a day that changed everything. This has been the mantra since that day. This event, and the accused perpetrators (never mind that those supposedly responsible have morphed from Osama bin Ladin to Saudi nationals to Saddam Hussein) are the reason we now have lost habeus corpus, the reason we are now enmeshed in a civil war in Iraq, the reason we are still losing soldiers in Afghanistan, the reason our gas prices are high, the reason we cannot expect the Executive branch of our government to follow the law.... I confess to holding a few assumptions. (1) The current administration is lying and has been lying about nearly everything. (2) Questioning the "official line" about what happened on (and who caused) 9/11 is verboten. Actually, point 2 is indisputable. If you don't believe me, just try to raise a question, out loud, about how Tower 7 fell... or any other anomaly that day. Like how in the hell our national defense system failed us so badly that no planes were scrambled to confront the airplanes that turned off their transponders. Or why the members of the 9/11 commission just failed to include testimony from Norman Minetta that raised definite questions about just which orders Cheney wanted to stand as a plane approached the Pentagon. Point 1 is obvious to anyone who learns about the world outside of Fox News [sic] channel. The lies are endless. Not only are they proven lies, they go unchallenged by the "MSM" ... who apparently have better things to do than source their stories and seek the truth. The root of all current evil is 9/11. Once we shine the light on what really happened (and what DIDN'T happen) on that day, the remainder of our current issues and their solutions ... will come into focus. That's why 9/11 is so important. If we leave those stones unturned, we are only trying to plug the hole in the dike when what we really need to address is why the seas have breached the dikes in the first place. Labels: 9/11, conspiracy, coverup, fear, investigation The Overarching Issue of Our Time When we can no longer trust our government, our elected representatives and those they appoint, to protect and defend us, where can we go? What can we do? The event that created the current climate we live in is referred to as "9/11." Everyone has heard, "9/11 changed everything," declared from every major media outlet for the last 5-1/2 years. Let's suppose, just for the sake of argument, that what we've been told by those same major media outlets about 9/11 is a made-up story. (I've researched plenty of information that suggests just that.) Yet, maybe you don't want to spend the time to look at it because there are so many other important issues that need dealing with, such as the occupation of Iraq, the state of our health care, the imminent disaster posed by climate change, the ongoing nemesis of HIV, or overpopulation or genetically engineered foods or colony collapse disorder or Somalia or Iran or the Israeli-Palestinian situation or $4.00 a gallon gas or ... the list could go on for a long damn time. However, who do we look to for solutions to the problems in this increasingly long list? Can we alone fix any one of these crises? No. Can we lend our voices and our money to try to help? Sure, but it's a drop in the bucket. We look to our elected representatives and their appointees to deal with local, national and international issues. But if they fail us, where do we go? I guess what I'm trying to say is until we solve the many mysteries surrounding 9/11, we will not be able to move forward on any other issue. If certain powerful forces within our government are complicit in 9/11, we can't very well expect them to work for the common good on any other issue. In fact, think of a common issue we've seen progress on in the last 6-7 years. I can't think of any. Why not? Compassionate conservatives seem to care only about granting tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. And supporting an illegal invasion of a sovereign country, and assassinating the leadership of that country... and setting up a puppet government who will agree to granting 80% of profits from that country's oil fields to multi-national corporations for the next 30 years. If we don't address the root cause of our invasion of Iraq, the root cause of the stripping of our civil liberties with the Patriot Act and various other bills that have gone into law since 9/11, we soon will find ourselves bereft of any of the promises made in the Declaration of Independence: including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And we'll also be bereft of our Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of press, assembly, and the right to confront our accusers and have a speedy trial. Habeus Corpus is already a thing of the past. I move that there is no more important issue than delving into what really happened on 9/11. That's even more important than impeachment, because it involves a larger group of people than the current [mis]administration. If we cannot have a proper, impartial and objective investigation of the biggest crime in our recent history, we are destined to become slaves to those who carried it out. The FBI has insufficient evidence to charge Osama Bin Laden with the crime. So who did commit it? Believe the mainstream media at your own peril, about anything. Labels: 9/11, crime, impeachment, investigation My Call for a New Investigation See TruthAction.org. Labels: 9/11, truth How Many Conspiracists Does it Take to ... Why is one conspiracy any more believable than another? To read forums and blog comments, some people believe that 19 incredibly lucky Arabs with boxcutters pulled off the total destruction of the entire World Trade Center complex, plus the destruction of a plane with passengers and crew in Shanksville, PA, plus heavy damage all the way through several rings on one side of the Pentagon. I'd say that's fairly outlandish. But if you suggest there's more to the story, or a different story, all of a sudden it's impossible because it would take the assent, aid and continuing silence of thousands of people! This, my friends, is a straw man argument. There is no mainstream 9/11 Truth theory that calls for a cast of thousands. I mean, if all it took was 19 mostly Saudi Arabs, then surely another group of 19 could do it too. Especially if the event was planned in advance and the mechanisms put in place over time. I do not believe now, nor have I ever taken seriously, the motive ascribed to Osama bin Laden and his followers, that, "they hate our freedoms." Did Osama benefit? Did Islam benefit? Did the Taliban benefit? Just who did benefit? And who might have had the means and a motive? If we are looking for motive, we find one right here -- the implementation of the PNAC's hegemonic plan simply could not have happened absent our "new Pearl Harbor." The neo-cons seem to have been ready for 9/11/2001. [Tunick photo found here, fair use] Labels: 9/11, conspiracy, debunkers Why the BBC Video is Important "9/11 Changed Everything" Can you remember when and who first spoke the phrase, "9/11 Changed Everything"? Within a day or two of 9-11-2001, pundits began this curious chant. The phrase persisted through the publication of the 9/11 Commission Report where, on page 328, you'll find: However, the attacks of 9/11 changed everything. Less than one week after September 11, an early version of what was to become the Patriot Act (officially, the USA PATRIOT Act) began to take shape. But who seeded that phrase into media consciousness? I surely thought it odd at the time. 9/11 didn't change everything for me. Someone Planted a Story for the Media Who seeded the media with the notion that WTC7 collapsed because of fire and damage? The same entity responsible for releasing the soon-to-be news a tad too early, that's who. That's why the recently unearthed BBC video is so important. You know, the footage where Jane Standley reports that the Salomon building (aka WTC7) has collapsed, only it is quite uncollapsed in the view out the window behind her. At about 5:10 in the video linked above, Jane makes a rather honest observation: "It looks like the aftermath of a huge Atom bomb or something..." How Perceptions are Formed This video is called The911Solution. Watch how the news was massaged from the very beginning. After all, if we see it on TV, it must be true, right? To All the Debunkers... ...who suggest that it would be perfectly ridiculous for bad guys to pre-announce their dirty deeds: you must not be astute or educated enough to grasp the fact that the television is a tool to brainwash the masses. The purpose of the news feed that made it on air too early was not to pre-announce a crime. Its purpose was to provide an explanation (fire and damage) for WTC7's collapse to replace the only other conclusion people could have reached had they been left to their own observations (that WTC7 was imploded in some sort of pre-planned demolition). Labels: 9/11, BBC, brainwashing, foreknowledge, media, WTC7 Part of the Conspiracy? (2) Richard Porter, head of news for BBC World, continues to explain away the "9/11 foreknowledge of WTC7 collapse" broadcast, the missing BBC tapes, and all in all, how reasonable and easy to explain the whole thing is, after all. He ends his blurb with, "There's no story here." I don't think he understands that he doesn't get to decide that.

The motto should read, Fight Ignorance: Be Sure to Read Things Not Allowed Here. I have doubts whether Buzzflash will print my contribution to their Mailbag, so I reproduce here what I wrote them today. There are a handful of alternative news compilation sites I've frequented—and supported, financially—over the last several years. Every site has its particular bias or focus, naturally, because there is a human on the other side of a site and we each wear our own spectacles, right? I have been visiting Buzzflash almost every day for the last few years since the site presents a good cross-section of stories from major and not-so-major news publications around the country. Buzzflash's obvious bias, like many other sites these days, is anti-establishment, and in particular, anti-Republican. Not unlike DailyKos in this regard, Buzz tends to promote Dems while harping on Repubs. Fair enough, the ruling party deserved it. Another site I've frequented is WhatReallyHappened. Michael Rivero's bias is plain to see—Zionism in its extreme form can be quite ugly, and computer hackers (the bad kind) do deserve to be strung up. Yet another site I've spent much time perusing is InformationClearinghouse. You'll find some of the more graphic images and videos of the "war on terror" here. The site owner has some pretty strong opinions about neocons and torture and globalism. I think it is fine if you run a site and make your biases known. But I've run into a problem with Buzzflash in this regard. The site owner has biases he or she keeps hidden. Thus, you think you understand the scope of the content and don't realize the filtering that goes on behind the scenes. I should have guessed this about Buzzflash, given a recent guest contribution from one Peter Michaelson. Mr. Michaelson wrote a piece for Buzzflash where he, with true Frist-like audacity, remotely diagnoses everyone associated with what is called the 9/11 Truth Movement. I'll blog about his piece separately. The bottom line is, it was a hit piece disguised as a plea to those folks who dare question the Official Rendition of Events on that "day that changed everything"—a plea to leave their pointless questions behind and join with the true progressives to fight for the issues that really matter. Mr. Michaelson derided and belittled and talked down to and insulted all those who ask questions about what really did happen on 9/11/2001. So, do we assume just because Buzz invites this guest to contribute an article (which was nearly universally repudiated by its own readers) that Buzz itself subscribes to the "you are a nutcase if you disbelieve the government line about 9/11" belief? Well, I didn't. Until yesterday that is. Buzzflash offers an alternative .net site that solicits news from users—sort of a toned down Digg. You post something, users "buzz" it or not and if it makes the grade the story is supposed to go on Buzzflash's main page. So okay, there is a new story this week about someone who uncovered a piece of video aired by the BBC back on 9/11/2001. The video shows a female reporter, standing in front of windows that let on to a view of the World Trade Center complex from a pretty good vantage point, blithely repeating some information she'd been given that the Salomon Brothers building, aka WTC 7, had collapsed. The problem is the building is visible over her shoulder and out the window. She reports the story about 23 minutes before it actually happens. This is no small bit of news and, at least in my mind, it should raise a few very troubling questions, to wit: Who provided this breaking news to the BBC that had yet to break? And why did her live feed suddenly go black a couple minutes before the building actually fell? Shouldn't we ask some questions of the BBC, this reporter, and possibly the news service that provided that feed? How did someone know ahead of time, for sure, that WTC 7 would collapse? Shortly after posting the item on Buzzflash.net, and after it had been 'buzzed' a few times, the posting was removed. A subsequent posting of a similar story, this one bringing to light the CNN broadcast of Aaron Brown saying that WTC 7 had fallen down, or was falling down (when it obviously wasn't since you could see it in the video behind Aaron) more than an hour before it actually DID crumble, well.. this posting was also duly removed from the pending items. It isn't as if the stories were voted down and rejected. They were simply removed from consideration. I'd wager that the majority of Buzzflash.net readers never got a shot at viewing and rating the stories. So what we are left with is the knowledge that Buzz has a hidden bias. Talk about government lies, fine, unless it's lies about 9/11. Talk about corruption and evilness and lack of compassion in Katrina-handling or veterans' health care or Iraq profiteering, but don't mention the possibility of corruption or evilness or lack of compassion regarding the government's handling of 9/11. Talk about National Intelligence Estimates and Government Accountability Office reports and secret Pentagon briefings, but don't talk about the 9/11 Commission Report. Whatever you do, don't post a newly unearthed video of a live news broadcast from 9/11/2001 that indicates foreknowledge of at least part of the tragedy that day. I'm more than a little disappointed that the Buzz folks, whoever they are, have a phobia about this topic. I'm also quite sure that I won't purchase anything from the Buzz store or financially support this site anymore. You may well be behind the curve, Buzz. There is a growing understanding that the Official Rendition of Events simply doesn't add up. This is not a wild-eyed kook-generated conspiracy. The perpetrators left too many loose ends, and we the People want to know the truth. I wish you were there with us, but either you are a left gatekeeper or simply too afraid of being accused of wearing a tin foil hat. Either way, you'll never earn a place in your own hall of fame for courage in the face of adversity. Maybe one day you'll be honest with your readers that you are scared to death about 9/11 questions. At least that way progressives like me won't waste a few years and a few hundred dollars on your site, thinking that we are hearing about all the important issues of the day. Or maybe you'll catch on and catch up. But first you'll have to pull your head out of the sand and join the people who care not only about the Iraq War but about the event that "changed everything" that got us in there in the first place.

One of these lead Ay-rabs was none other than Osama Bin Laden. If we could help the poor Ay-rabs in Afghan-eye-stan resist the Russian move into their country, well hell, we'd be doing ourselves and all the communist-hating peoples worldwide a favor, right? So our CIA made deals with Pakistan's ISI, their CIA counterpart. Through this connection, we sent material aid to the Afghan-istan terrorists who ended up thwarting commie Russia's drive to make the area their own. Now, don't go telling me we will fight terrorism wherever we find it. Truth be told, we support and even create terrorists when it serves our "Nashnul intressshhhts." So here we have good ol' Osama, he's a friend. That's a good reason why we never caught the dude even when we blamed him for coming up with this plan to fly planes into our buildings. That's probably also the reason we thought we could blame him for the events. After all, he was our boy, and we needed some scapegoat. How in hell we got from Osama to Iraq... well, that's all laid out in history now, the lies and the phony Niger documents and the smoking gun mushroom clouds and the morphing poor Saddam with Osama. By the way, Saddam was our boy too. We put him where he is, we even gave him the chemical weapons we are now trying him for using against Iran and the Kurds. Meantime, back at the ranch... the Congress just passed a bill and it's been signed... that effectively obliterates the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution.

A few months later a "Bin Laden" tape, supposedly found in a bombed-out house in Afghanistan, appeared to contain Bin Laden's confession. (The Osama in this tape really doesn't look like any other Osama pictures we've seen. Several of the alleged hijackers -- who should have died, right? -- seem to have been quite alive in the months following. Can this be disputed? I'd really like to know!) The Bush administration fought setting up any 9-11 fact-finding body for 14 months. The Zelikow Commission that was grudgingly established (originally headed by Kissinger, wasn't it?) finally published a report which failed on a grand scale to adequately explain what exactly happened on 9-11. Two commission members have now indicated they seriously considered exploring criminal charges against certain officials for their misleading and contradictory testimony. There's more. The 911 Truth movement seems to be growing, and respected professionals -- scientists, engineers, physicists and scholars -- have spent a great deal of time trying to analyze what happened. They cannot explain the WTC buildings collapsing into dust in their own footprints using the official line (WTC1, WTC2, WTC7 .. and what happened to WTC6? Have you seen the photos of the gaping vertical holes in that building?). These brave people express dismay and disbelief that examination of the physical evidence (removed promptly from the scene and destroyed) was prevented. They claim it is impossible that the laws of physics somehow did not apply on 9-11 and 9-11 alone. (They point to the fact that no steel building before or since 9-11 ever collapsed due to fire. Can this been disputed? I'd really like to know!) If .. and I pose this as an if that should be examined in great detail .. the official 9-11 story is more hype than fact, don't we as a nation deserve to discuss it? This seminal event .. the day that changed the world as we know it (according to the MSM anyway) .. has given rise to the invasion and occupation of Iraq, to the abduction and interminable detention of foreign born and US citizens, to the abrupt passage of the Patriot Act, to warrantless domestic wiretapping, to disregarding the Geneva Conventions, and to countless other sea-changes in our way of life. We are being told these are all for our own good. But what if the premise on which the War on Terror rests is a house of cards? We already know that we were hyped in the lead-up to the Iraq invasion. We've seen repeatedly how certain politicians seem to rely on evoking fear by conjuring up images of 9-11. And who did forge those documents about Saddam's supposed attempt to purchase yellowcake from Niger? I'd really like to know. I have so many questions and I don't want to wait 30 or more years for the answers to trickle out. By then, the real perpetrators will be dead and gone, and so will I. But the all too real results of this day that changed our lives forever will reverberate in the world my children and their children have to inhabit. Thank you kindly for your consideration of one or more shows dedicated to revisiting 9-11. Someone has to do it. Is NPR and WAMU able and willing? Labels: 9/11, investigation, truth Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss I read a brief article in my Web browsings titled, "Everything Didn't Change on 9/11." The author was at least hopeful that our Constitution still exists, the flag still flies, and the hearts of Americans are still by and large magnanimous, caring, and freedom-seeking. Sadly there are some not-so-hopeful things that remain unchanged -- corporate greed (how delicious that by law, corporations are faceless and monolithic), income disparity, and endangered species among them. You'd have to be Iraqi to see another rerun from pre-911. US-appointed Iyad Allawi, according to today's Sunday morning talking heads, wants to "take out Fallujah" before our election. Our military is supposedly more than ready to help him. I am reminded of the post-Desert Storm months when GHW Bush encouraged the Iraqis to overthrow Saddam, and Saddam grew in evilness by putting down that rebellion, creating mass graves we now seek. It seems to me the Iraqi people haven't changed. They see Allawi, for plenty of reasons, as just another ruthless dictator appointed and supported by the US. Instead of the Republican Guard, he has the American military at his disposal to slaughter these dissidents. The words in the Who's song apply equally well to the people of Iraq and the people of the United States. It may take a revolution here before the powers-that-be recognize that 9/11 didn't change everything. "There's an old saying in Tennessee... I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again." George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002 Labels: 9/11, Iraq We each have come, by different paths, to the realization that something is dreadfully wrong with the stories we've been told about 9/11. In my case I came across Thierry Meyssan's work in early 2003 suggesting no plane crashed at the Pentagon. If this was true, the implications were too much to digest, so I left the subject alone for almost two years. In late 2004 I began my own investigation in earnest. As of now, I am confident that the 'official' story is a patchwork of lies. Because I am not confident that we know the real story behind 9/11 yet, I explore many avenues in my continuing research. I strive to keep an open mind. I hope you do, too.

Gregori Dimitrov wins the Masters, but the musketeers meditate in hiding. By Massimo Tosatto on 27/11/2017 Other Sports Stories, Tennis David Goffin and Alexander Dimitrov played a beautiful Tennis Masters Final. A particular one, the second, since 2003, that didn’t feature any of the musketeers who dominated recent tennis: Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Murray went through an Annus horribilis. After a very good 2016, he failed all his targets showing a lack of motivation that threatened his top 10 status. Nole Djokovic broke something in his “engine”. A player used to press his opponents playing at 110%, Nole’s body sent him messages, as to say that maybe he should slow down. That is why he stopped playing midway through the year, looking more for himself than for a tennis form. Roger is playing a fine tennis, but he seems to have a limited fuel tank. He won the first set against Goffin in the semifinal, but lost in three, showing a disturbing physical drop against a young and motivated opponent. Rafa also seems to have a limited range. He got to the master very tired. After all these years of domination from these four players, maybe a new generation is emerging. Though Rafa and Roger split the Grand Slam tournaments, they leave the impression to need ever-longer periods of rest, which undermine their ranking and increase the strength of their opponents in the first rounds of the tournaments, tiring them when they get to the key games. In 2009, Nikolai Davydenko met Del Potro in a Masters final between two players whose career was plagued by injuries. Davydenko retired in 2014, while Del Potro fought hand injuries to play limited tournaments and not stress his body. That final proved to be an illusion. The four musketeers would reign for a long time, figthing any tentative to threaten their power. However, the 2017 Masters could be the first clue that something is changing. Goffin and Dimitrov play a slightly different tennis form the 4 leaders. Goffin varies a lot his game, looking for corners and different speeds. He slices a lot and some spins of the ball rebounded amazingly. The Belgian Goffin is a strategist- He likes to keep the game in his hand, to undermine the usual higher power of his opponents. Davidov is more powerful. At 6”2’ (about 1,90), Gregor reaches farther and his longer arm allows for more power. The first set started strong with Goffin going ahead. Davidov came back reaching the 4-4 and winning by 7-5. In the second set David Goffin showed the resilience that was so useful in the game against Roger Federer. David is like this. He can change; he can find different solutions, thus balancing the lack of strength. This is how he won 6-4. In the third set Goffin gave signs of fatigue. On 2-2 he lost the serve and Davidov went to 5-2. On Goffin’s serve, Davidov had three match balls, that the proud Belgian just didn’t let go. After fighting, Goffin won the game and the next game Davidov seemed certain to win. It is odd to understand why the sports gods decide things. The game was hard fought. Goffin reached the 40 all, but Davidov was able to get and advantage. He served for the match, and an exchange followed, well driven by Goffin who, after hitting a forehand on Davidov’d backhand, came to the net to hit a simple volee. The ball was maybe too slow. It went down soon after the net and landed on Goffin’s racket who should have just touched it. But he couldn’t. The ball died on his racket and finished mockingly against the net, while Davidov dipped on the ground with tears in his eyes. Will these two players dominate the future? Hard to say. They’re not young. In a tennis world that made his fans used to young new heroes, at least from the times of Boris Becker and Micheal Chang in the second half of the eighties, the players behind the musketeers have grown old, waiting for them to go down. Roger, Rafa, Nole and Andy resisted, improved, and grew old leading the ATP, while the Goffins and the Davidovs had to endure hard times knowing that Roger and Co represented the ceiling of their career. Now they’re around 26, they’re not so young. They work and can improve, but their game likely reached the top and their improvement margins remain unknown. Alexander Zverev and Dominique Thiem are 20 and 24. Zverev in particular seems to won the physical and mental strength to become the next number one. It we look at the rest of the Top 100 Tennis ranking, 40 players are 30 or more, only 19 are less than 25 and 10 are less than 22. Those 41 players between 25 and 30 went up and down, had multiple chances to improve but always failed to undermine the power of the best four. This is an issue tennis should address. New players are the key to get new generations of fans. When Boris Becker won Wimbledon as an underdog in 1985, and Micheal Chang in 1989, the event shocked the world and everybody talked about it. This increased the value of the game, making the new players renew the game without interruption. For too many years, tennis has not been able to find new leaders. Unfortunately, the players that have been in the middle, lack the kind of personality to lead. Roger’s ability to stay under the spotlight. Rafa’s talent to create a story of his endless effort to hit the ball, have built a story of their own that it will be hard to substitute, in the mind and the heart of the fans. The thing is, tennis itself, the ATP, should care more about the creation of new talent and help the young who do not have the resources. Not for compassion, more for the interest of the game itself, to constantly renew the stage and put new characters that can produce new story. For now, Goffin and Davidov made us think that something is changing, but behind the top ten it is necessary to change also the players of the top 100, helping to grow new talent. This is tennis’s challenge for the future, something the body of the ATP will have to address to keep the interest alive and build the legacy of the musketeers of these years. Though do not shed your tears yet. Far away in Serbia and in Scotland, Nole and Andy heal their wounds, while Rafa is stitching together the muscles that threaten to suffer under the effort. Roger, on his own as usual, distils his unique brand of tennis, defying age and drinking his eternal life elixir, studying the young and less young who have the illusion to reach him, but again risk to wake up in the new year with the old nightmares.

James Lovelock, the originator of Gaia Theory, is about to reach his 100th birthday. From the 1960s, Mr Lovelock was an environmental pioneer and author of over 200 scientific papers concerning the climate change debate. What may surprise many is his parallel advocacy of nuclear power to support human survival on planet Earth. Gaia Theory asserts that living organisms and their inorganic surroundings have evolved together as a single living system that greatly affects the chemistry and conditions of the Earth’s surface. Scientists believe this “Gaian system” self-regulates global temperature, atmospheric content, ocean salinity and other factors in an “automatic” manner. Originally proposed by James Lovelock as the earth feedback hypothesis, it was first named the Gaia Hypothesis, then Gaia Theory, which comes after the Greek supreme goddess of Earth. Lovelock more recently believes it is now too late to avoid significant global heating and significant climate change which will make large parts of the Earth’s surface much less hospitable for humans. He thinks the time has passed for sustainable development and that we have come to a time when developments are no longer sustainable. He proposes that we need a sustainable retreat from an impending climate storm; that we must retreat in an orderly fashion from the coming threats to our global habitat, to mitigate adverse impacts on human health and happiness. Nuclear V Renewables In his own words: “I believe nuclear power is the only source of energy that will satisfy our demands and not yet be a hazard to Gaia and sustain a conformable climate.” “Renewable energy might have worked in earlier times… but to expect them to sustain our numbers today is no more than a romantic dream.” Whilst Mr Lovelock has rightly demonstrated in his book* the low death toll from nuclear accidents as compared to those in coal mines, it doesn’t mention the massive environmental impact and cost that mistakes/accidents of a few could have on the many. Chernobyl was caused by inadequately trained personnel, Three Mile Island was an operator error and Fukushima by a tsunami. Nuclear is also outrageously expensive. At the same time, renewable power technology has improved, costs have fallen, batteries are being invented to sustain demand fluctuations, supported by huge improvements in energy efficiency. As a result, renewables’ share of electricity UK generation has shot up to 29% (2018), while Nuclear sources account for 21%. So my question is this: Isn’t it time we had faith in renewables to take the lead and say “no more to nuclear?” I’m sure future generations would rather not be left to clean up the waste.

A Google promo site may have revealed the colors of the upcoming Pixel 3 smartphones. But, they do hint at the fabric case making a return as both of them are shown covered with this fabric case in the renders. Recently, some new images of the yet to launch Google Pixel 3 also surfaced online revealing the design of the smartphone. Google has teased - on its website - that the Pixel 3 will come in pink, mint, black and white colours. The latest leak shows the phones in cases that may have been designed by Google. The Pixel 3 XL is seen to have a deep notch, which some users would consider ugly given the lack of symmetry in design. Pedestrians ‘mown down’ by car in ‘anti-Muslim attack’ outside mosque Three people were rushed to hospital after the hit-and-run, which took place shortly after midnight today. Police have made an appeal for witnesses to come forward with more information. The cases flaunt a fabric design and is extremely reminiscent of the protection Google produced for the Google Pixel 2. Both speakers on the front have symmetrical sizes. Given that Google Play Services requires total access to your phone - including permissions to things like your text messages, body sensors, camera and so on - it has the requisite access for running device experiments. There have been already numerous leaks and rumours of the Pixel 3 smartphones, now an official new teaser hints that the smartphone may arrive in three colour variants. The Pixel 3 is seen with thick bezels of the sides, while the bigger version aka the Pixel 3 XL has much thinner bezels comparatively. While the Pixel 3 XL features a notch and dual selfie cameras, the Pixel 3 does not sport a notch. Clicking on the Google logo on the phone switches between each color. According to insiders, prices start for a Pixel 3 with $650. NASCAR South Point 400 Predictions 9/16/18, Who Will Win?

Schumer: If the Republicans refuse, the witnesses, they are involved “in a cover-up” Chuck Schumer is making his appeal to the Republicans for witnesses before the Senate trial for impeachment Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said during a press conference Monday that every Senate impeachment proceedings should be “focused on the facts that the house was presented, not on conspiracy theories” – an apparent slight to Republicans trying to alleviate the blame on President Trump by casting aspersions on former Vice-President Joe Biden and his son Hunter the shops in the Ukraine. “I think the study should focus on the facts that the house was presented, not on conspiracy theories, some well-established liar places,” Schumer said, just hours after publicly releasing a letter he sent to Senate majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., outlined how he would like to go to a Senate impeachment trial. Schumer added: “We should stick to the facts, and if there are other witnesses to what may have happened to seen, that may be very strong evidence on the facts that the house presented. I would certainly want to hear who you are.” IN impeachment proceedings, the SENATE REPUBLICANS COULD TURN THE tables ON DEMS In his letter to McConnell, the New York Democrat, specifically asked for four witnesses to be called during the trial: Mick Mulvaney, the Deputy White house chief of staff, Robert Blair, senior Mulvaney consultant; John Bolton, former nation’s security Advisor; and Michael Duffey of the Office of Management and Budget. “These are the four, the the most direct contact to the facts in the case of a dispute — most especially, why the aid was delayed to the Ukraine?” Schumer said. “There is no reason on God’s green earth why they should not be called to testify, unless they are afraid of what they might say.” Republicans in the Senate, however, your interest is signaled, the calling of different witnesses in a Trump-study-like Hunter Biden, the former Democratic National Committee consultant, Alexandra Chalupa, both of which Republicans in the house tried to call, only to be blocked by house Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

The President, the request came after millions have been frozen in US military aid for Ukraine, the Democrats have argued, showed a “quid pro quo” arrangement. Trump and the White house repeated any failed have denied the behavior. The House Judiciary Committee last week elected to the adoption of two indictment against Trump, claiming abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, on a party-line vote of 23-17. A final appeal in the full house is expected this week.

We know what they say,” he said. “The four witnesses we have called, not been heard. That’s a big difference.” Fox News’ Brooke Singman contributed to this report.

__label__wiki	0.748483	0.748483	UN 101 UN Authority Figures Human Rights Council Advisory Committee Expert: Jean Ziegler FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/Getty Images "In previous years, Ziegler said the United States is an "imperialist dictatorship" that is committing "genocide" in Cuba and that Gaza is "an immense concentration camp.""Good Riddance to Qaddafi's pal at the U.N., April 30, 2008, FP Passport Advisory Committee's mandate: "The function of the Advisory Committee is to provide expertise in the manner and form requested by the Council, focusing mainly on studies and research-based advice...The Advisory Committee should be implementation-oriented. The scope of its advice should be limited to thematic issues pertaining to the mandate of the Council; namely promotion and protection of all human rights." (Advisory Committee web-site) "The technical and objective requirements for the submission of [experts'] candidatures [to the Advisory Committee]... should include: Recognized competence and experience in the field of human rights; High moral standing; Independence and impartiality." (Human Rights Council (Decision 6/102 ) Follow-up to Human Rights Council resolution 5/1, September 27, 2007 Term of office: 2008-2009, 2009-2012 Jean Ziegler's record on human rights: "In 1989 - four months after Libya bombed Pan Am flight 103, killing 270 people from 21 countries - Ziegler launched the annual Muammar Qaddafi Human Rights Prize in Tripoli, boasting it was the "Anti-Nobel prize of the third world". Winners have included Fidel Castro, Louis Farrakhan, and a leader of a Ba'ath party women's organisation in Saddam's Iraq. In 2002, the recipients included the convicted French Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy, and Ziegler himself. In 1986, Ziegler acted as an adviser to the Ethiopian dictator Mengistu, helping draft his one-party constitution. In 1993, Le Monde reported on "Jean Ziegler's trip to visit Saddam Hussein and Kim Il-sung." Ziegler proclaimed "total support for the Cuban revolution" shortly after Fidel Castro had imprisoned many journalists. While visiting Cuba as a UN official he refused to meet Cuban dissidents but lavished praise on Castro. In 2002, he praised the Zimbabwean dictator, saying, "Mugabe has history and morality with him." In 2006, Ziegler said, "I refuse to describe Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation. It is a national resistance movement. I can understand Hezbollah when they kidnap soldiers ..." Ziegler calls the US an "imperialist dictatorship" guilty of genocide, and labels George W Bush "the Pinochet who sits in the White House"; 9/11, he alleges, was used by Bush as a "justification for the staging of organised economic destruction of the people of the southern hemisphere"...When Ziegler was UN special rapporteur on the right to food he criticised the United States 34 times but he never criticised any party in 15 of 17 countries deemed by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation to have a man-made food emergency. Ziegler didn't just attack the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. He called it "the worst in the history of colonialism". He described Gaza as "an immense concentration camp" and celebrated when what he called the "guards" left."

Let's pretend the characters in the Princess movies are real and that we can ask them questions. 2. First person thinks of a character and asks them anything: ex. Cinderella why didn't you run away sooner? 3. the next person pretends they are that character and answers the way they think that character would answer. Then they ask another character a question: ex. Cinderella: I did not want to leave my family home to those horrible women and I had no where else to go, I have no one (sob) Flynn who were you selling the crown to? 4. Those are the rules to the game, but if you have questions just ask. I just made it up so I can tweek the rules if need be. I think the answers shall be interesting and this could be a lot of fun! I will go first and ask a question and then the next person will answer as _______ and then they will ask a character..... putri disney 1584 balasa Showing Replies 1401-1450 of 1584 lebih dari setahun yang lalu cruella said… Ariel and Merida: "We hate it!

Ariel, Belle, Elsa, Anna, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Tiana have you ever heard of Jack Frost? lebih dari setahun yang lalu dee389 said… DP: We have seen his movie, but never met him, sadly to say Disney has been feuding with Dreamworks! To all the Princesses: Have you heard of the 1968 movie called Mayerling? lebih dari setahun yang lalu KataraLover said… Belle: Snow, Cindy, Aurora, and I have the others have never heard of it because we were planning a girls night out and I suggested we see it but they hadn't even heard of it. I absolutely couldn't believe it! To all the Disney Princesses, which one of the princesses would each of your say you're the closest to? lebih dari setahun yang lalu HaileyBlack said… We're all closest to Snow White since she started it all! Maleficent, where'd you get those horns? lebih dari setahun yang lalu truth76 said… They just grew on my head since I have so many pets I became like them. Pocahontas, are you certain that rocks have life, mountains have voices and wind has colours or were you just showing off that you are intelligent? I was certain, but I was also being a bit of a show off!

(He was a wannabe drag queen,don't even get me started) When I grabbed it away from him, I accidentally froze his hand. #Sorrynotsorry Ariel, what do you think of Jim Hawkins? dclairmont commented… #sorrynotsorry omG lebih dari setahun yang lalu Ariel: He seems very nice. It's my daughter Melody who has the crush on him. Ariel, how does it feel being the only Disney Princess to be a mother? It gets tiring! Elsa, how well would you handle the beach? Hot and great!!! DP: Do you all have an Instagram account? Ariel is the only one who does Pocahontas, do you miss John Smith? Pocahontas: Yes, I really miss him so much. I thought the right thing when I left England was to go separate ways. I also thought that I loved John Rolfe but it wasn't real love. My love is for John Smith but he is traveling somewhere across the seas and I don't know where he is or if I'll ever see him again. Staying behind for my people when John had to leave was a hard thing to do, I knew it was right but I also have hope that I would see him again. Then I received news that he was dead and it took me a long time to get over him but I never did. Every time I heard someone say his name I would die a little. I tried to stay strong and I thought I was over him when I found John Rolfe but now I know that I never really got over him and I never stopped loving him. But thankfully I've had the support of Nakoma, Flit, Meeko, Percy, and all the Disney Princesses to help get me through it. I sure hope I'll see him again no matter how much it hurts. Merida, you're often compared to Ariel and vise versa. How do you two feel about each other? :,( lebih dari setahun yang lalu lebih dari setahun yang lalu coolsinger198 said… Ariel-"Well we are actually great friends! We can relate a lot, we are both feisty red heads! And recently all the DP's got instgrams and facebooks so we communicate all the time!" Merida- "Ya, Ari said it all ya know, we always stick up for one another! We dont like being compared to! We made a deal that we will always be friends and we will always be on each others sides." Elsa, do you want to get married? Someday, but not right now. It's just one of those things that'll happen when it's meant to. All DP's-Which version of Avatar: The Last Airbender is better? The original series, the spin-off series, or the live-action movie? All: THE ORIGINAL SERIES BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The spin-off is good too but not nearly as good as the original and the live-action movie is AWFUL! We all felt sick for a month after seeing it. Merida and Elsa, even though you two aren't thinking about marriage right now what would each of you describe as your dream guy? Merida- "Someone who is tough and just understands me and someone that isnt a wimp ( cuz im all tough) and someone who is noy a control freak!" Elsa- "Someone with a sweet side, and someone who isnt afraid of me, regardless of my powers." Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora, the Classics have been getting so much hate because people have been saying you all act alike. How do you feel you three are different? Snow White: People are just biased about us! I am different, that's all! Cinderella & Aurora: We have to agree with Snow White, because we're not like Ariel, Belle, Jasmine and the others. DP: Have all seen Captain America? "Yes we have, it was so good! We loved the action in it!" Belle, how do you feel when people call you a snob? lebih dari setahun yang lalu TheCrystalRing said… Honestly, I don't see where they get the impression from, but it doesn't particularly bother me. So Anna, considering your sister has the power of ice, have you ever wondered if you have special powers as well? lebih dari setahun yang lalu purplerose17 said… I don't like it. I try to be as nice as I can, and Gaston was being rude, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Rapunzel, do your parents let you paint the walls of your bedroom in the castle? purplerose17 commented… Oh whoops, answered at the same time... lebih dari setahun yang lalu Anna: When I was little, I did. But I don't. And that's OK! Rapunzel: Why would I want to mess up my beautiful bedroom walls in the castle?!? Rapunzel, Anna, and Elsa-I've been hearing rumors that y'all are cousins? Is that true? Ariel, you were the first Disney Princess and actually the first Disney heroine EVER that showed some really great girl power. You saved Epic TWICE and killed the evil minions even though you didn't defeat the villain. But even without that you still made such an impact. How did it feel that you were really standing out among the past three Disney Princesses? Were you scared at first? Did you expect to start not only a revelation of tough girls but also a new Disney era? Basically how did all of this feel? All of us Disney Princesses have girl power! I was really excited to join the lineup, and the Classics were so kind and welcoming towards me. Elsa, now that you use your powers freely, are all your dresses made of ice? lebih dari setahun yang lalu 324anna said… I really enjoy making dresses of ice, they look amazing, but it gets a little boring to wear only them, so I wear normal dresses too. Mulan, do you ever fight with Shang (for fun of course and to practice your warrior skills e.t.c.) Of course! I always beat him! Girls rule! We like to practice our fighting skills. It is great for self defense. Jasmine, how do you feel being the first DP to stand up against arranged marriages? It feels amazing! I'm so proud to be someone who shows that true love is what matters and while tradition and duty do matter they don't mean anything if your not happy. I'm perfectly happy with Aladdin and he has made me a better person. I was really naive about the world out there because I didn't know how bad off the people were. Jafar was keeping it all from my father but thanks to Aladdin we have tried to help the people of Agrabah all that we can. Jasmine and Merida how do you feel about the non-Disney Princess, Odette from The Swan Princess, asking Derek after he says she's beautiful "Thank you but what else?" Jasmine: So rude!!! Merida: Luckily she ain't DISNEY!!! DP: Do you like K-Pop (Korean Pop music)? coolsinger198 commented… lolol!!!! lebih dari setahun yang lalu only Jas and Merida! lebih dari setahun yang lalu KataraLover commented… Well that was a stupid response lebih dari setahun yang lalu "We listen to all types of music, but Mulan, Pocahontas and Rapunzel especially love Korean Pop Music!" Jasmine,what do you want to say to the people who have called you a b****? Slap them, immediately, I wanna say nothing, a slap is enough Belle, were you first afraid of the beast? Yes! Couldn't you tell when he came into the light that I gasped? Snow, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Mulan, and Rapunzel how do you feel about the way all of you are being portrayed on the ABC show Once Upon A Time? "Well honestly, the characters are not like us at all. They ma share some of our characterisitcs, but aside from that, we are nothing alike." DP, how do you feel about some of your other heroine friends not being part of the lineup? We hate that they don't get enough recognition, but I don't think they'd like being princesses anyway. Esmeralda would hate the franchise of it all, Meg would hate all the damsels in distress and Kida does not like sparkly dresses. It's good the way it is. Ariel, are any of the princesses criticizing you like some fans have recently? No, Thank God! I don't get why people hate me so much! I am who I am. Can't they accept that? Rapunzel, I heard some negativity about your portrayal in Once Upon A Time because your character is black. How do you feel about this? Eugene!! You said nobody would notice my sunburn :'( How did you get a black skin tone sunburn Rapunzel?! If you don't mind, I'd rather not talk about it... Tiana, have you cooked anything that's so spicy it upsets Elsa's powers? Tiana: She's fine, she wants to try something different and I can't blame her for that! She controlling her powers!! DP: Do you know who this Empress of Austria name Elisabeth (aka Sissi) is? All: No... Anna, is your hair usually a big mess when you get up in the morning? lebih dari setahun yang lalu shanyuisboss said… Oh yes! Always!-I mean uh, no. No, it's- it's actually perfect in the morning! Nice and neat and- alright I'm guessing this doesn't sound very realistic, but yeah, It's pretty much a bush! And the worst part is when it starts sticking to your face. Kinda why I like to keep my room a free of anyone other than me before I've woken up, they would be traumatized pretty much. Jasmine: What's your favorite subject in school? I didn't go to school with other children, my father hired a tutor instead. I love math! Cinderella, do you ever find yourself cleaning the castle just out of habit? No but I do find myself making breakfast for everyone out of habit. Ariel what did you think of the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid? lebih dari setahun yang lalu kayb517 said… I loved it! the actors and actresses were all amazing!! It really made my traumatizing story come to life in many different ways, especially with the music. Aurora, how is life with Philip? Ah, Philip is quite a dear. He is wonderful and definitely has a lovely voice. He is very sweet, and great company. Makes me laugh a lot and sometimes it's hard for me to not constantly laugh at his conversations at dinner. He is occasionally rude though, only when he is very mad. But sometimes I feel that it's hard for me to argue. For the most part life with Philip is great. Belle, what's your favorite classic book? Oh I have so many! I have to choose either Oliver Twist or The Grapes of Wrath. Snow White, do you forgive the Evil queen? Somedays I feel very angry towards my stepmother, but I keep trying to forgive her. No matter what she did to me, I feel better when I'm at peace. Tiana, are benyaies the house specialty, just like you said they would be? That and gumbo and jambalaya Rapenzel when your hair was long and blonde how bad was your bedhead? lebih dari setahun yang lalu JacobBlackFever said… There wasn't much room for me to sleep but it was comfy to lay on my hair Anna how dose it feel like havering your sister back? putri disney Klub Yang Berkaitan channel disney	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3378
__label__cc	0.721043	0.278957	Home > Blog > CPD > Experimenting with the Digital Lab Experimenting with the Digital Lab The Digital Lab is an initiative from the Arts Marketing Association and takes the form of an 8-month programme. People and organisations across England are invited to take part and we were incredibly excited to find out that our application was successful! It was quite nerve-wracking to start working on our digital experiments, but the AMA provided each fellow with a series of online training sessions as well as allocating us all with a mentor. Our mentor, Seb Chan, offered us lots of support during the Digital Lab (and even finished our final session by sending us photos of his two kittens!) On April 2nd 2019, all of the participants of this year’s Digital Lab took part in an online graduation. It was a great chance to reflect on and celebrate the work completed over the previous 8 months, and also to share any learning. We wanted to write this blog to continue reflecting on our two experiments; the Instazine and the Ideas Test podcast. The Digital Lab (in a nutshell) To start with it felt quite strange taking a scientific approach to creativity. We’re used to analysing data and learning from the way our projects progress, but writing hypotheses and developing methodologies felt eerily similar to GCSE Science lessons! It actually turned out to be really helpful to have this scientific structure to work from, as it allowed us to track how much our experiments changed from our initial ideas. Spoiler alert – both ideas changed quite a bit! The Ideas Test Podcast Kyra says: My original Digital Lab experiment was a series of videos interviewing artists we work with. Ideas Test covers Swale and Medway which are both large areas, so I thought this would be a great way to interact with what we do but from the comfort of their internet. However after the AMA session on podcasts I realised that it would mean I only needed to have good quality sound. I already have experience of sound recording and editing so it would be using skills I already have. Our mentor, Seb Chan, suggested to try anchor.fm, a free podcast platform that is also a recording app. Also the podcast session with Hannah Hethmon (who is the creator of Museums In Strange Places podcast) was so in depth and informative that it answered pretty much most of the questions I had. The first podcast would be a test on how to record, edit, and upload. I wanted to get the logistics in place before I regularly scheduled episodes. My first thought was to do an intro to the Ideas Test team, but schedules and illness prevented this. Luckily our Swale’s Big Music Takeover workshop, Audiocamps, had a radio show session during the February half term. Over three days I recorded a tour of BBC Radio Kent, BBC South East, the creation of jingles and adverts, and the recording of the show itself. It seemed daunting to edit this all down but I actually found it quite easy as I already planned how the show was going to flow beforehand. From the three days I created a podcast with a running time of just under 30 minutes. As this first podcast was a way of capturing what went on during the Audiocamps workshop, but also a way of testing the methods of creating and uploading the audio, I am keen for there to be more before the team make a decision on whether to continue the podcast. I am keen to do an interview as the next episode, and I know some of our team already have their own ideas. Overall I really got so much out of the whole Digital Lab programme. My confidence in doing small experiments to change how Ideas Test gets our message out has grown. Also I am more able to look at things that didn’t go so well not as failures but as things to learn from, and that being perfect is sometimes a block to being authentic. You can listen the Ideas Test Podcast on Spotify and Google Podcasts. The Instazine Jade says: This experiment started with the idea of creating content specifically for Instagram. It’s a creative platform and allows for a lot of interaction. My hypothesis was to test whether increased engagement on Instagram would translate to increased attendance at Ideas Test’s projects and events. To start with, I imagined that the content would be made for Instagram stories but it quickly became apparent that this would not be the most useful idea. Shifting to create a mini monthly Instagram magazine was a pivotal step in the experiment. Researching other instazines gave me a good idea of the type of style and format that worked well, and by December 2018 I was ready to test a pilot version of the Ideas Test Instazine. It can be quite difficult to know how to measure the success of a digital experiment, something I definitely struggled with. We often run multiple projects and events simultaneously which meant it was important to me that the Instazine was actually beneficial to our audience, if I was spending time working on it each month. Our mentor agreed that output is important; it needs to work well if it is to be continued, but he also explained that with digital experiments, it can sometimes be just as important to learn from the process. The entire Digital Lab has been a learning curve and reinforced just how creative we can be with digital avenues. If you are interested in a more detailed analysis of this experiment, you can read the Experiment Evaluation by clicking here. To see any of the Ideas Test Instazines, visit our Instagram @ideas.test or search #IdeasTestInstazine There were a number of reasons that we wanted to take part in the Digital Lab. Ideas Test works across Swale and Medway, so we wanted to improve our digital marketing to help us reach audiences who might be a little more isolated geographically. Digital content can also help us to share all the wonderful stories we hear from people taking part in our projects and hopefully encourage new people in the local community to discover what we do. There’s also an incredibly vibrant creative scene in Swale and Medway, so we wanted to be able to highlight the great work on offer from artists and organisations in the area. Overall, it’s been wonderful to be part of the 2018/19 Digital Lab cohort – thanks to AMA for the opportunity!

But for those seeking experiences other than wildlife, Ethiopia and Mali are two destinations that should certainly be considered. While both are somewhat less sophisticated with a more rudimentary tourism infrastructure, they offer exciting and fascinating travel options based around cultural and historical highlights that will not disappoint. Note: Regrettably, we are not running trips to Mail at the moment due to the political uncertainty that exists in the region. Gabon and Congo are both tropical rain forest destinations that feature fantastic primate and other forest specials as well as birding opportunities. And Chad is a more recent addition to our list of destinations. With a trove of different mammal and bird species and a vibrant cultural experince, Chad is also worth visiting to expereince one of Africa’s great conservation stories. The revival of Zakouma National Park in Chad is one of Africa’s great conservation success stories, and African Parks, along with the Chadian government, deserve all the credit for engineering this. Situated south of the Sahara, and as a crucial component to the Greater Zakouma Ecosystem covering almost 30 000sqkms, this sgould be a feature destination for those seeking wild and remote wilderness. Highlights include Kordofan giraffe, the large herds of tiang and a varity of other endemic species as well as the impressive birdlife boasting a host of special sightings. And then there is the conservation story with the dramatic revovery in the regions elephant population being such a visible manifestation of these efforts. Visiting Chad with us and African Parks makes you a central player in this ongoing success. Ethiopia, a melting pot of numerous cultural and religious dynasties, is the perfect exploration destination. While charter flights are possible, an extensive road trip is the best way to explore the ancient historical and religious sites of the north before venturing into the impressive highland regions and lake system of the Great Rift Valley that transects the country. Highlights include the ancient towns of Axum, Lalibela and Gonder, and the incredible collection of rack-hewn churches. For those in search of wildlife and the country’s impressive birding specials, the gelada baboons and Ethiopian wolves are in the Bale and Simien Mountains, while the birding hotspots are spread throughout. And in the far south, the Omo Valley is a remarkable off-the-beaten track destination offering a rare insight into the lives of traditional communities Centrally located within the region of West Africa, the continents seventh largest country embraces two of Africa’s most distinctive and alluring geographical features, the Sahara Desert and the Niger River. It also offers some stunning arid scenery, a host of fascinating people and cultures, and an ancient history that has spanned three of the region’s most powerful empires. Besides the desert and river options, Mali is home to the impressive Djenné Mosque, the world’s largest mud structure, the Dogon people, and the ancient Taureg city of Timbuctou. These are all best experienced by doing a cross-county road trip, which should end with another highlight, the annual Festival in the Desert, a colourful and eventful three-day feast of live West African music that takes place in the Sahara. The Republic of Congo is another fantastic central African rainforest destination offering all the most exciting wildlife attractions unique to these ecosystems. Because of the infrastructure and terrain, safaris are mostly offered on fixed departure schedules and they focus on the Odzala-Kokoua National Park in the remote west-central regions of the country. Highlights include viewing western lowland gorillas, which occur here at the highest densities in Africa, and forest buffalo and elephant when they come to feed and drink in the bai’s. Afternoon boat and canoe trips up and down the numerous river systems that weave their way across these impressive forests are the best way to explore the wetland habitats, and for the birders, there are a host of endemic and special species to go after. The camps we use here are of the highest quality. While it is true that this Central African country is best suited to the more hardened traveller, Gabon nonetheless offers a host of exciting wildlife and wilderness experiences. The highlights include the full variety of forest species, lowland gorillas, buffalo, elephant and chimps especially, which are all best seen within the huge rainforest systems of Loango, Ivindo and Lopé National Parks. And Loango has the added attraction of whale-watching during the summer months. Others may choose the historical and cultural appeal of São Tomé, a short flight into the Atlantic Ocean from Libreville, or the stunning beaches of BomBom on the island of Principe. And wherever you go, the birding is prolific with a host of endemics and specials. Those in search of the less-trodden destinations will certainly not be disappointed, but all visitors need to know that Gabon does not have a well-established tourism infrastructure.

The migration and subsequent implementation of IPv6 on the IXPN’s network follow the official announcement of the depletion of the Internet Protocol Version Four (IPv4). According to a statement signed by the Managing Director, Mr. Muhammed Rudman, the implementation of the IPv6 on IXPN’s network mean that members who have migrated to IPv6 can now come on board with their IPv6 as they have been provided with a platform that will enable such. “Apart from giving our members the platform to experience enhanced connectivity, the implementation of IPv6 on our network will place Nigeria on the international map where other countries that have implemented IPv6 are,” the statement reads. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) had officially announced the depletion of the Internet Protocol Version Four. This led to the setting up of an IPv6 council in Nigeria whose sole responsibility was to ensure that the operators and Nigeria as a whole migrates to the use of IPv6. IPv6 is the successor to Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4). It was designed as an evolutionary upgrade to the Internet Protocol and will allow the Internet to grow steadily, both in terms of the number of hosts connected and the total amount of data traffic transmitted.

__label__cc	0.725294	0.274706	Jacobo Tarrío in the land of the inexpensive A brief history of computer networking Domingo, 24 Agosto, 2014 - 03:54 Para reirse Since time immemorial, humans have sought to connect their computers to exchange knowledge and to improve the mutual understanding of humankind. Of course, what they actually did with that was exchange porn, mostly. A precursor to the computer networks was the telegraphy system, developed during the 19th century. It had many applications: apart from sending and receiving messages, you could buy and sell stocks, do money transfers, and other things that we think are so modern that we can do over the Internet nowadays. They didn’t have any need for an equivalent to Instagram, though, because back then all photos already looked vintage. Computers were invented in the 40s, and they were so big and expensive that an entire University might have only one. To connect it to other computers, which could be thousands of miles away, they used telephone lines. As more computers were built and installed, new computer interconnect technologies were invented, because the computers kept calling each other and tying up the lines, and when the operators tried to get them to hang up they would complain: "but daaaad, I’m talking with Stacey, this is super important, you don’t understand me, I hate you." The Internet became popular in the 90s. People expected that an ubiquitous global computer network would serve to exchange knowledge and improve the mutual understanding of humankind. Of course, in the end this marvel of human engineering and international cooperation was used to exchange cat pictures and porn, mostly. At the end of the 90s someone said in passing, “hey, in the 19th century they had wireless telegraphy, why don’t we have wireless networking now?”, and some electrical engineers were so embarrassed by it that they went and invented Wi-Fi and then pretended it had existed all along. Nowadays, thanks to digital convergence, we treat everything as just data, so our usages of the different communications networks are very mixed up. For example, we connect to the Internet at home through cable TV, browse the web on our phones, do phone calls on our laptops and watch TV over the Internet. At this pace things will become more and more mixed up and we’ll eventually do weird stuff like listening to music on the radio. Time will tell. (Post your comments in the accompanying Google+ post.)

__label__wiki	0.895237	0.895237	EBR GOP MAKES ENDORSEMENTS FOR JUDGE (GREAT SLATE!) REPUBLICAN PARTY OF EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH MAKES ENDORSEMENTS FOR LOCAL JUDGESHIPS ON NOV. 4 BALLOT The Republican Party of East Baton Rouge Parish has endorsed several candidates for judge in the Nov. 4, 2014, election. The party's executive committee, which is elected by the Republican voters of the parish for a four-year term, interviewed each candidate seeking the endorsement and required each candidate to complete an extensive questionnaire. The party reviewed the candidates' background, academic history, prior service on the bench or practice of law, and reputation in the community. Based on all of these factors, the Republican Party of the parish has endorsed the following judicial candidates: • District Judge, ES3, Division I — Attorney Randy Piedrahita (Piedrahita, a political newcomer, appears to be poised to oust the incumbent in this race. Also endorsed by the local fire and police organizations and the Tea Party of Louisiana.) • District Judge, ES2, Division A — Incumbent Judge Todd Hernandez (GOP incumbent looks bound for re-election.) •(District Judge, ES2, Division G — Incumbent Judge Richard Anderson (GOP incumbent another lock for re-election.) • District Judge, ES2, Division I — Metro Councilman Trae Welch (Welch is clearly working hard to oust the Democrat incumbent. Also endorsed by local fire and police organizations) • District Judge, ES2, Division M — Former Assistant District Attorney Beau Higginbotham (Higginbotham, a hard charging political newcomer, appears to be leading the field in this open seat race. Also endorsed by local fie and police organizations.) • Family Court Judge, Section 3, Division D — Rep. Hunter Greene (Greene is giving the incumbent all she can handle. Strong campaign should result in victory.) COMMENTS: Strong slate of judicial candidates supported by GOP. Our congrats to all endorsed. Posted by Louisiana Conservative Alliance at 2:05 PM No comments: GRAVES ORDERED TO TESTIFY IN CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION SCANDAL Garret Graves Under Court Order To Be Deposed By Felder's Legal Team BATON ROUGE- 6th district congressional candidate Cassie Felder had previously filed a motion for contempt of court against fellow candidate Garret Graves which was heard this morning in state district court. Felder prevailed in her original goal of compelling Graves to testify under oath as to 'what he knew and when he knew it' regarding his on going relationship with The Political Firm. The ruling by Judge Tim Kelley today compels Graves to testify within the next 21 days. Last week Graves refused to appear at his previously scheduled deposition. On a separate issue, Kelley dismissed out-of-hand a claim by The Political Firm that they had been defamed in this legal process. GARRET GRAVES CONTEMPT OF COURT HEARING SET FOR MONDAY MORNING BATON ROUGE- Cassie Felder, a local attorney and candidate for U.S. Representative in Louisiana’s 6th District, filed a motion for contempt of court against one of her opponents in the race. Hearing on the motion for contempt is scheduled for Monday, September 29. “On Monday, September 15, Garret Graves ignored his legal responsibility to appear for a court ordered deposition. In so doing, Mr. Graves triggered a motion for Contempt of Court. Ignoring a court order is a serious matter and if Mr. Graves believes that court orders do not apply to him, then he needs to explain his reasoning to the court. He will have his chance this Monday morning at 19th JDC, 9:30 AM, in Judge Timothy Kelley’s courtroom, 10D. Mr. Graves may or may not appear at his own Contempt of Court hearing, but as an attorney, I would advise my client to show respect rather than contempt for the court, and to show up.” DIETZEL LEGALLY CHANGED HIS NAME FROM STEPHEN TO PAUL? Dietzel benefits from family name http://theadvocate.com/news/opinion/10366175-123/stephanie-grace-dietzel-benefits-from Say “Paul Dietzel” to many voters, and they’ll likely conjure grainy pictures of gridiron glory gone by. The Paul Dietzel on the ballot, though, is the grandson of the legendary LSU coach. At 28, he’s, by far, the youngest candidate. Dietzel acknowledged that the name gives him a leg up. To the extent that it exists, voter confusion is his friend. “Names in political elections always are a big deal. It’s how people remember you. Fortunately in my case, my grandfather had a great legacy. EXCERPT FROM LAPOLITICS WEEKLY: "As Paul Dietzel fights for turf against the other Red Stick Republicans, he has become a lightning rod for accusations that bring into question one of his strongest assets: his name, which at birth was Stephen Paul Dietzel II. He had it legally changed to Paul Dietzel in January, months after announcing for Congress. That it matches the name of his famous grandfather, the late coach of the 1958 national championship LSU football team, is circumstantial, he said in a recent interview."

Posted by Louisiana Conservative Alliance at 7:50 AM No comments: Sam Hanna Jr.: McAllister can go to Heaven Since forgiveness and redemption, and character too, are the hot topics that are being bantered about throughout the 5th District as well as conveyed in the TV commercial that McAllister aired beginning this week, we should pause and reflect upon some remarks that Melissa Peacock’s husband, Heath, made to CNN shortly after McAllister’s and Peacock’s extramarital relationship was exposed. “He (McAllister) has wrecked my life,” said Heath Peacock. And since Heath Peacock and McAllister apparently have known one another well for years, we have to assume Heath Peacock was speaking openly and honestly when he told CNN, "I know his beliefs. When he ran one of his commercials, he said, ‘I need your prayers,’ and I asked him, ‘When did you get religious?’ He said, ‘When I needed votes.’” “He broke out the religious card and he’s about the most non-religious person I know,” Peacock said of McAllister. As Christians, we are taught to forgive. And I suspect most Christians in the 5th District and beyond forgive McAllister for seemingly stomping on the Seventh Commandment. I know I do. But that doesn’t mean we should reward him. http://www.hannapub.com/ouachitacitizen/opinion/columns/sam-hanna-jr-mcallister-can-go-to-heaven/article_dbe5cf3a-437e-11e4-ae37-001a4bcf6878.html FOR THE LATEST ON LOUISIANA POLITICS CHECK OUT THE LA CONSERVATIVE ALLIANCE TWITTER PAGE FOR ALL THE LATEST ON LOUISIANA POLITICS CHECK OUT THE LOUISIANA CONSERVATIVE ALLIANCE TWITTER PAGE https://twitter.com/lacalliance Felder seeks contempt finding for Graves A lawsuit involving Republican candidates for the 6th congressional district heated up again when Cassie Felder asked a judge Thursday to hold Garret Graves in contempt of court.

"Somebody has to step up and change it." Abraham considers himself a conservative who doesn't believe in alienating those who aren't. "We have to reach a consensus so we can thrive and succeed as a people and as a country," he said. "I'm the guy who wants to talk to the other side and come up with solutions." Abraham said he's against expanding Medicaid in Louisiana and believes the Affordable Care Act is a failure that must be reformed either through repeal or new legislation. http://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/17/abraham-somebody-step/15804937/ RAPIDES GOP COMMITTEE ENDORSES ABRAHAM FOR CONGRESS (LA05) Rapides Parish Republican Party Officially Endorses Dr. Ralph Abraham in (LA-05) Congressional Race The Rapides Parish Republican Party voted on all Republican candidates in LA's 5th Congressional District race, and the committee has announced that Dr. Ralph Abraham has their full support and sole endorsement. Chairman, Wayne Ryan, said, “The Rapides Republican Parish Executive Committee is excited to endorse Dr. Ralph Abraham for the 5th Congressional District. Dr. Abraham has lived out his conservative values in his professional life, home life, his community service activities and his service to our country in the military. One of the biggest accomplishments Dr. Abraham will bring back to our Congressional District, is honor, the restoration of integrity, honesty, and trustworthiness while representing us in Congress.” "Rapides Parish and Central Louisiana are so vital for our state's future. I know that Fort Polk is just outside of the 5th District Congressional lines, but you can rest assured if elected that I will work shoulder to shoulder with Congressman John Fleming in doing whatever it takes to maintain and restore the jobs and federal defense assets we have on the ground in Louisiana. As a veteran myself, I know first-hand what it means to have these military installations in our state," said Abraham. In response to numerous polls showing Abraham taking the lead among the other Republicans in the race, Campaign Manager Luke Letlow said, "We are encouraged that numerous polls continue to show our campaign continuing to lead the pack, but we're going to wake up every day, and assume we're in last place." Dr. Ralph Abraham is a physician, veteran, pilot, farmer, and former veterinarian. He was raised in North Louisiana and currently serves his community as a rural physician in Mangham, LA. He is a Republican, and is focused on restoring honor, integrity, and conservative leadership to Congress. Please visit www.ralphabraham.com for more information.

Mary Landrieu (D-La.) found that over $33,700 in campaign flights were inappropriately charged to her official account in an internal review of her finances released Friday. The report is sure to draw added scrutiny to her use of charter planes just as her main opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), is set to introduce a resolution meant to highlight such spending, which he calls a "waste of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars." The review, which was released four days after her self-imposed deadline of Sept. 8, found that the senator took 43 trips, which amounted to 136 campaign functions, that were paid for by funds meant for official business only. Eleven percent of the total amount Landrieu’s office paid for chartered flights should have been paid out of her campaign funds, the review found.

Edwin Edwards is unacceptable in almost every way. That’s why it was so disappointing to learn that the state’s Democratic State Central Committee had overwhelmingly endorsed Edwards for Congress on Monday. In embracing Edwards’ campaign, the state’s Democrats endorsed someone who represents the worst of the state’s political history – a sorry legacy of corruption that has now sullied their party and finally persuaded me to change my party registration. By endorsing Edwards, the Louisiana Democratic Party embraced Louisiana’s corrupt past. It said that winning, not governing honestly and well, is the more important thing. Its leaders said they’d rather be represented by a crook than a conservative. I want no part of such a political party.

But after a few carefully called quacks and a bit of patience in the blinds, the inaugural shotgun blows are loud and clear. “The last dude last year fed us a lie. I don’t even know the dude.” That’s how “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson eased into the topic Friday night at a fundraiser in Lake Charles for Zach Dasher, who he described as “my little nephew who came from the loins of my sister.” “I believe in that same forgiveness that Miss Kay gave Phil when he atoned for his sins and she decided to let Phil back in their house,” McAllister said, referring to Robertson’s wife, who is also featured on the A&E reality show. It’s also a nod to Phil Robertson’s dark past of drinking, drugs and infidelity, of which he has made no secret. http://lapolitics.com/2014/09/alford-mcallister-becomes-target-of-duck-shoot/ GALLUP & REUTERS POLLING SHOWS OBAMA JOB APPROVAL DOWN TO 38% (OBAMA IS A HEAVY CROSS TO CARRY HERE IN LOUISIANA.

Bobby Jindal's support. The poll showed 53 percent of voters were less likely to vote for a candidate whose campaign staff was associated with the governor. Dasher has denied he is the governor's chosen candidate. However, Dasher has many campaign staffers, including Jindal's favorite consultant Timmy Teepell, that worked on state Sen. Neil Riser's ill-fated campaign for the same office last year. Riser had the full backing of Jindal and the state Republican Party. Dasher picked up 7 percent in the poll. Jindal's office declined to comment. Glascock also asked about how support from the Robertson family of "Duck Dynasty" might influence Dasher's campaign. Dasher is the nephew of patriarch Phil Robertson. The poll showed most people (39 percent) didn't care, 32 percent were less likely to vote for Dasher, and 29 percent were more likely to vote for Dasher. Beyond the toxic numbers for Jindal's support, incumbent Rep. Vance McAllister, R-Swartz, fell from leading the pack in previous polls to second place with 20 percent. Republican Ralph Abraham, a doctor from Alto, took the lead with 22 percent. It's the first time McAllister has polled behind a candidate this race. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/09/bobby_jindal_toxic_to_candidat.html CASSIDY JUMPS AHEAD OF LANDRIEU IN LATEST SENATE POLL Louisiana Senate: Cassidy (R) 44%, Landrieu (D) 41% Republican Congressman Bill Cassidy has edged ahead of incumbent Democrat Mary Landrieu in Louisiana’s hotly contested U.S. Senate race.

Abraham led the poll of 466 likely voters with 22 percent, followed by McAllister with 20 percent and Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo, the only Democrat in the race, with 15 percent. Republican Monroe businessman Harris Brown broke into double digits with 11 percent. Brown polled 6 percent in the previous poll. Glascock, who has been polling the race since early summer, said a group of Baton Rouge lobbyists and Washington political bloggers commissioned the poll. The numbers are in stark contrast to Glascock’s last poll in which McAllister led with 27 percent and Mayo followed with 21 percent before the complete field was set with qualifying. Glascock believes said the surprise entrance of Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Clyde Holloway, R-Forest Hill, was the primary reason for the change. Holloway was fourth in the poll with 9 percent. “This thing has flipped upside down,” Gascock said. “I thought Holloway would hurt Abraham, but it appears he’s hurting McAllister in the southern part of the district.” Also retreating in Glascock’s latest poll is Republican Zach Dasher of Calhoun, a “Duck Dynasty” cousin, with 7 percent. Dasher had polled 14 percent in Glascock’s previous poll. http://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/03/abraham-jumps-mcallister-th-district-poll/15025625/ Former Louisiana Sen. John Breaux lobbying for Russian bank fighting U.S. sanctions Breaux, who represented Louisiana in the Senate from 1987-2005 and is senior counsel for Squire Patton Boggs. Neither Breaux nor a spokesman for Squire Patton Boggs responded to a request for comment Tuesday. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/09/former_louisiana_sen_john_brea_2.html#incart_river NOTE: Sixth District Congressional candidate Garret Graves spent a dozen years working in Washington as a committee staffer and aide for both Democratic U.S. Sen. John Breaux and U.S. Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-Chackbay... Breaux hired to lobby for a Russian bank against sanctions imposed by President WASHINGTON -- Former Sens. John Breaux, D-La., and Trent Lott, R-Miss., have been hired to lobby for a Russian bank against sanctions imposed by President Barak Obama over that nation's military intervention in Ukraine. The hiring of Breaux and Lott by Gasprombank was disclosed in a lobbying disclosure form filed Friday with the Senate. The information was first revealed by the Center on Public Integrity, which monitors lobbying disclosure reports. Breaux, a former chief majority whip for Democrats in the Senate, while Lott, the Senate's former majority leader, began lucrative lobbying careers after leaving Congress. They formed their own lobbying firm, and later joined Patton-Boggs. Gasprombank is a Russian bank that is among the businesses targeted by Obama administration sanctions for the Russian intervention in the Ukraine. It is controlled by Russia's state-owned energy company, Gasprom. The disclosure form filed by Squire Patton Boggs said that Breaux and Lott would represent the bank on "banking laws and regulations including applicable sanctions." The disclosure form doesn't say how much the lobbying firm is being paid for its efforts on behalf of the Russian bank. http://blog.nola.com/politics/print.html?entry=/2014/09/former_louisiana_sen_john_brea_2.html	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3406
__label__cc	0.677806	0.322194	ON NOT KNOWING THE MEANING OF WORDS. February 18, 2009 by languagehat 185 Comments In the comment thread for this post, Grumbly Stu wrote: “I just discovered that for my entire life I have mistaken the meaning of ‘scatty’. I meant disorganized / disheveled.” (Scatty is British slang for ‘crazy.’) I just ran across a remarkable example of this common phenomenon; in her diary entry for Jan. 27, 1941, Marina Tsvetaeva wrote: I’m 48 years old, and I’ve been writing for 40 years, even 41, if not forty-two (honestly), and of course I am by nature an outstanding philologist, and just now, in a tiny little dictionary, in fact in three of them, I find that ПАЖИТЬ [pázhit’] is pacage [French for ‘pasture’], пастбище [pástbishche, Russian for ‘pasture’], and not at all ‘field’ […] So all my life I have thought (and, oh horror, perhaps written) пажить when I meant ‘field,’ and it’s really луг, луговина [‘meadow’]. But in spite of three dictionaries (unrelated: one French and old, another Soviet, the third German), I still don’t believe it. Пажить sounds like жать [zhat’, ‘to reap, cut, mow’], жатва [zhátva, ‘reaping, harvest(ing)’; in fact, пажить is related not to жать ‘reap’ but to жить ‘live.’]. (The original Russian is below the cut.) So the next time we discover we have been mistaken about a word, we should remind ourselves that one of the great poets of the twentieth century, who considered herself philologically inclined, went through the same thing. And I love the fact that she grumpily refuses to entirely believe the fact she’s just discovered, because it just doesn’t sound right to her. Мне 48 лет, а пишу я — 40 лет и даже 41, если не сорок два (честное слово) и я, конечно, по природе своей — выдающийся филолог, и — нынче, в крохотном словарчике, и даже в трех, узнаю, что ПАЖИТЬ — pacage — пастбище, а вовсе не поле, нива: сжатое: отдыхающее — поле. Итак, я всю жизнь считала (и, о ужас м‹ожет› б‹ыть› писала) пажить — полем, а это луг, луговина. Но — вопреки трем словарям (несговорившимся: один французский — старый, другой — советский, третий — немецкий) все еще не верю. Пажить — звучит: жать, жатва. Mine was “farrago” – I always thought meant a sort of combination of palaver and farce. I like the attitude shown by Tsvetaeva. How do you say, “there’s glory for you!” in Russian? Jeremy Osner says: This happens for me with regularity not too much diminished by the passage of years. There are a whole lot of words that are “part of my vocabulary” but on whose meaning I have only the loosest of grasps. Sarra says: Grumbly Stu’s not mistaken at all: the OED provides “Of a person: scatter-brained; driven distracted, mad; of a story, etc.: illogical and absurd.” And I’m glad, as I was half ready to be humbled, too. (I’ve just been told that links to “tumblr” are barred from here for questionable content!) When I was 13, someone told me that “similar to” does not mean “the same as”. This was clearly absurd, and I refused to believe it for some time. Ah, apologies! I hadn’t followed the link. I’m not certain it’s common to use “scatty” in that sense referring to a subject that isn’t a person. Be good to see if it is; I may have a look. jamessal says: I thought “fiduciary” meant merely “pecuniary” for a while. There’s an exciting one. Not the same phenomenon, but more embarrassing: I used to pronounce “desultory” with the emphasis on the second syllable, “salient” as “SALLY-unt,” and “tout court” as spelled. Now I don’t use any of them at all. When I was a kid I pronounced bedridden as be-DRIDD-en, assuming it was the past participle of a “bedride.” I’ve since discovered I wasn’t alone in that. I used to think that the word socialism meant something like “public ownership of the means of production, with the state acting as proxy on behalf of the public.” You can imagine my embarrassment over these last several weeks! When I was 13, someone told me that “similar to” does not mean “the same as”. And I that “over” doesn’t mean “more than”; though, again, that’s a different phenomenon, better filed under “prescriptivist poppycock.” Deep down, I still think of ‘painstaking’ as ‘pain-staking’. I like be-DRIDD-en, and may start using it. I also deliberately pronounce “crouton” with only the slightest hint of a schwa between the “t” and “n” so it sounds like an insult: the fucking crout’n. One more embarrassing one, for the longest time I pronounced “accoutrement” as though it were French: accoutrehmahhhhh…. “Overweening” means fussily protective, like a mother. It does. Grumbly Stu says: You mean like overweaning, right? But withholding the teat of life should mean the opposite of “fussily protective”. As a kid, I knew the protagonist of the 1001 Nights as “skirts-er-ade”, like lemonade. Also my best Sunday suit had lapples on it. What is a “fucking crouton”? A fuckin cretin? A breadhead? A crumb? Nijma says: HP: I used to think that the word socialism meant something like “public ownership of the means of production, with the state acting as proxy on behalf of the public.” Now they’re called enterprise funds. In spite of a universal need for revenue in order to enact any government programs, a politician who “raises taxes” won’t get reelected, either here or in Canada, but an “enterprising” one will. I used to pronounce “desultory” with the emphasis on the second syllable Well, that’s how it’s pronounced, I don’t care who says different. This week, in the introduction to a late 50’s BBC film on Bertrand Russell, the moderatress said he was mis-CHIEV-ous. I exhort Amurricans to pass over such Briticizms in silence. I think “lapples” is the best yet. But about “overweening” there will be no discussion. A “fucking crout’n” is a crouton whose appellation I have temporarily forgotten, as in, “Hand me… you know, for the salad… the fucking… the fucking crout’ns!” jrfrqbradfz says: X57cTs jpulikzhhbkx, yhyhbxesgsdf.com Well, that’s how it’s pronounced, I don’t care who says different. Do people really pronounce it like that? (Checks Dictionary.com…) Yes, they do! Random House lists only the first-syllable pronunciation, but American Heritage lists both! Fantastic! Hat, do you have a sophisticated filter mechanism for posts like the last one? All those I’ve seen on this site have been like this. A recognizer would be “lots of slashes and very few words”. Of course to recognize “words” would require a some sort of a lexical search machine. Such a post could be quarantined pending verification of the url. Writing a recognizer wouldn’t be hard, given an API to a dictionary, but I don’t know if your filter (if you have one) is extensible. If contributors here would stick to the same email address, you could build up a list of acceptable ones. That would also help in winnowing out spam of the kind you get here. Stephen Judd says: When I was wee, I was convinced that there was a verb “to misle”, meaning “to deceive”. I can still recall the shock when I heard someone pronounce “misled” with two syllables. a verb “to misle”, meaning “to deceive” That is the burden of the popular song: And I’ve gotta know, is it only the misletoe Say it ain’t, say it ain’t … just the misletoe I used to think DESultory was a snooty up-East pronunciation (seen from Texas), same for misCHIEVous. Funnily enough, the OED gives DESultory, but MISchievous. Dammit. I find that I knew the meanings of “desultory” that the OED lists, but without the main nuance it had for me – something like “languid”. The website I use for my students has a very discriminating spam filter. It is so discriminating that if I write a comment from work without signing in first, it puts me in my own spam filter. Guess I associated it with sultry. the main nuance it had for me – something like “languid”. Yes, I used to think it had something of a “lazy” connotation as well — and I don’t think we’re alone. Actually it’s not that hard to figure: you’re more likely to do something (like watch TV or have a conversation) in a desultory fashion when you’re feeling lazy, listless, languid, etc. Actually — double actually — that’s probably exactly what you meant by “sultry.” joseph palmer says: When we use the word scatty we usually wish to emphasize that the person is befuddled in wits and that the result is a certain lack of organization. So I’m afraid people are mentioning red lines where there are really fine lines again. It seems probable that the Russian author was also in a rather grey area. Going Dotty in Kansas says: …or also, perhaps, in a pother. “sultry”: I think I have only seen this word in writing, usually in an expression such as “sultry temptress”. It does not seem to be used in a context other than that of a lazily sexy woman, as seen through male eyes. That’s a rather desultory sequence of colourful observations. The entire discussion has been rather Abstract Expressionist – not to the taste of a drawing-master, I daresay. Where you see windmills, I feel only breezes. What is “mentioning” supposed to mean here? As opposed to “using”? There is a lovely anecdote about a child misunderstanding the meaning of a word, in one of Colette’s books about her youth: at the age of perhaps 5 or 6 she was puzzled about the word “le presbytère” that she sometimes heard used by adults. She decided that such an interesting word must mean the kind of pretty, yellow and black striped snail she often found in the garden. She brought one to her mother: “Regarde le joli petit presbytère que j’ai trouvé!” Her mother set her right: the word means the priest’s house! So she went to her favourite place to sit and rest on the garden wall and called it her “presbytère”, becoming “the priest on the wall”. Hi marie-lucie! Well, “sultry temptress” is only one genre. 16-year-olds chock-full of hrmones, of both sexes, often look sultry to me, although a dispassionate observer (if such there be) might speak of sulky. Your comment could not be submitted due to questionable content: hrmone Marie-Lucie: Sultry is also used to describe hot, humid weather. The kind of weather where it’s so hot and sticky, you don’t feel like doing anything but sitting around, but then you’re sure there’s a thunderstorm brewing, building up, gradually, until you can’t stand it anymore, and soon all that humidity is going to explode in torrents of rain accompanied by the flash of lightning and crash of thunder, and afterward everything will be cool and refreshed, and you’ll just lie back and soak it in for a while before falling into a deep, restful sleep. So, no, I don’t understand the association with hypersexualized images of women either. Well, I understand it (it’s a cliche actually); but it isn’t the only way I’ve seen it used. HP, marry me. I suppose that will turn out to be another one of Emerson’s sock puppets. Sultry is female though. A man can’t be sultry. He could be steamy, I guess. Nijma: Oh, my heavens, no. John Emerson is an Internet legend. Whether it knows it or not, the word polymath was coined for his benefit, long before he (or I) was born. I could not bear that mantle. I don’t often comment, but tonight I feel inspired. I’ve been on a tear, across several blogs. But seriously, if you want to get married, we should talk. Like being John Emerson, being married to me is a terrific burden to bear. Many are called; few have answered. Fewer still have managed to put up with my crap. HP: Yeah, I’m gonna have to apologize for having been astonishingly dense (I felt inspired too; unfortunately I didn’t pay much attention to what anyone else was saying) — it’s been a long day… rootlesscosmo says: A character in Aldous Huxley’s novel Crome Yellow tells of having been fascinated by the word “carminative” on the label of a patent medicine he was given as a child. He took it to mean “warm, mildly spicy,” and other attractive things. Years later he looked it up, in a German-English dictionary–the only one to hand–and and was crushed to find it rendered as windtreibend, i.e. productive of farting. Inspired? I was swept away entirely. There was simply no adequate response and I typed the first thing that came into my mind. On reflection I would have to admit that I too have poor–actually no–nuptial references, my husband having been deceased these many years; however I have no way to gauge whether or not he finds this a burden. Z. D. Smith says: So, uh, until tonight, I was under the impression that ‘deSULtəry’ meant, roughly, ‘pouty’, or ‘grudgingly’. What’s maybe worse is I was only set right when I looked it up, not because it occured that I might be mistaken, but because I was wondering if I was pronouncing it wrong too. I am willing to stick by my pronunciation but I am clearly off base with the meaning. Our topic in action, unfolding in real time. And it’s neither “misCHIEVous” nor “MISchievous”. I don’t care what the OED says, it’s mischevious. Six million google hits can’t be wrong. Wait, wait, wait, wait wait. So, Nijima; You’re a widow? This changes everything. By which I mean to say that I am a wonderful man, entirely without faults, and you should engage me in email discourse forthwith. Siganus Sutor says: X57cTs jpulikzhhbkx (Posted by: jrfrqbrad*** at February 18, 2009 07:17 PM) Does someone around know the meaning of these two words? I have no attachments whatsoever and unfortunately no money either. My website is in my URL; the email addy is in the sidebar. Anyone may email me and many do–with various curious things in mind. Being a man is a good start; I do not marry women. So what do I look for? The Four Qualities: 1) rich 2) good-looking 3) intelligent and 4) obedient. How many wives do you have? X57cTs jpulikzhhbkx? Doesn’t mean anything in English, Sig, or any other language I recognize. Sig Sutor says: Nijma: And it’s neither “misCHIEVous” nor “MISchievous”. I don’t care what the OED says, it’s mischevious. It’s incredible how much I agree with you. It’s somehow like “disgression“, which exists for many people despite what learned ones and MS Word can say. There are also people on the face of this earth who believe that “deception” means “disappointment”. Thank God there are marie-lucies around to rub their nose in it. It’s spam, Sig, but somebody started talking about it and how to do a better spam filter. Otherwise I’m sure Hat would have taken it out by now. I’m afraid French doesn’t agree with me, Sig, but fortunately we have you and marie-lucie. I may not know much about the OED, but I do know what I like. mab says: My favorite word misapprehension was made by a Russian friend who grew up in the Urals. He thought столица — the capital, i.e., Moscow — was the place where the 100 best people in the country lived: сто лиц. Athel Cornish-Bowden says: I was well into adulthood (a lot more than wee, anyway) before I accepted that there was no verb “misle” for “misled” to be the past participle of. I was vaguely conscious that “misle” and “mislead” meant more or less the same thing, but it didn’t occur to me that their past participles would have the same spelling (but quite different pronunciations). My favorite word misapprehension was made by a Russian friend who grew up in the Urals. He thought столица — the capital, i.e., Moscow — was the place where the 100 best people in the country lived: сто лиц The word I remember from learning Russian half a century ago was not столица but страница. Is that quite wrong? It seemed as if a high proportion of the examples in Nina Potapova’s textbook contained this word. At the dinner table, jamessal ? Tut, tut … There is no final “i” in the spelling, so why put one there ? If contributors here would stick to the same email address, you could build up a list of acceptable ones. I refuse to take any steps that might make my life slightly easier but would make it harder for people to comment here. Some of the best comments have come from people who didn’t even leave an e-mail address. I’d rather have to spend a little time weeding than limit the response. That’s absolutely wonderful! The word I remember from learning Russian half a century ago was not столица but страница. That means ‘page,’ not ‘capital.’ Oddly, страница ‘page’ is not in Vasmer’s etymological dictionary; in form it’s a diminutive of страна ‘country, land,’ which is a Church Slavic borrowing—the native Russian word is сторона ‘side.’ HP: Sultry is also used to describe hot, humid weather. The kind of weather where it’s so hot and sticky, … – So, no, I don’t understand the association with hypersexualized images of women either. I was not thinking of images of women, but of women who might give the impression that they are “hot and bothered”. Just reread your own paragraph. Just reread your own paragraph. I think that was the point. I’m just glad I’m not the only one who missed it last night. Siganus: sorry, I did not mean to embarrass you, just to clarify your meaning as the words might seem puzzling to others. John Emerson says: Hat is one of the great heroes of the blogosphere. We all know this but it’s nice to say it out loud now and then. I also thought there was a word “misle”. I pronounced “schedule” as “schoodle”, don’t ask me why, and I still think that “mischievious” is the best pronunciation in a family context when referring to kids or pets, though not in public contexts. I learned to read by look-say, and I frequently mispronounce words I haven’t heard if they’re multisyllablic and from a language I don’t know, for example American names borrowed from Algonquin. (I seldom watch TV or listen to the radio). I just learn to recognize these words as wholes without caring how they sound. Most notably, I pronounced “Chappaquiddick” “Chappadaquic” the first time I said it aloud. Marie-Lucie, it wasn’t so much of an embarrassment and I’m glad you told me about it. That’s how you know who your real friends are: they tell you what’s useful to you even if they think you might not be delighted hearing it in the first place. I’d rather have you telling me that kind of stuff than saying that I’m good-looking. (Leave that to Kron.) [I’m off to my mirror. The day has to end somehow and, unfortunately, some people can’t spend too much time on LH — that mirror of a peculiar type.] Paul: There is no final “i” in the spelling [of mischievous], so why put one there ? Paul, I’m just like Nijma: I just feel the need to put an -i there and I always tend to pronounce it “mischievious” and I’m dead sure there are other words like that. Emmaeck says: Until just a few months ago I thought there was a verb “mull” which meant something like the verb “steep” – as in mulled wine (wine with herbs/spices steeped in it) and mull it over (to let something steep in one’s mind). I was mortified and dismayed to learn that these are apparently two different words, and neither means “steep.” I am still struggling with the mental image of having to laboriously grind a new idea over in my mind, rather than let it gently soak in. You’re metaphor’s nicer — I’d stick with it. There is no final “i” in the spelling [of mischievous], so why put one there ? One would have to make a count of words in -ious as opposed to words in just -ous to see which suffix is more frequent, and also check where the stress falls in those words. I learned the word as MIS-chievous which I think is standard, but somehow -ious sounds more natural in mis-CHIE-vious, with different stress and suffix perhaps caused by analogy with mys-TE-rious: consider the pattern MYS-tery: mys-TER-ious, hence MIS-chief: mis-CHIEV-ious, but mystery is a borrowing from Latin which cannot be analyzed in English while in mischief the mis- part is a prefix (as in mistake or misunderstand). I also deliberately pronounce “crouton” … so it sounds like an insult: the fucking crout’n. Actually, the word croûton “piece of bread crust” can be used as an insult in French: un vieux croûton is something like “an old fart”. First deSULTory, now “crouton” as a genuine insult — oh, I am loving this thread. Helen DeWitt says: i loved “misle” as a verb. It always sounded so slimy, so underhand. “Mis-led” was such a disappointment, so clean and honest and straightforward. “Misled” (pr. “mizled”) was the perfect verb for a con man with stubble and shifty eyes – and then one day it vanished into thin air. I think I realized that this verb did not exist quite late, at 17 or so. I still miss it. (But then – all the instances I came across were in books. It’s not likely, but not impossible, that some of the authors were in fact using the verb pr. “mizled” rather than the wretched “mis-led”.) ulrich nusbaum story says: Euro geht langsam als papier von Raivo Pommer Ulrich Nußbaum wird neuer Finanzsenator Der frühere Bremer Finanzsenator Ulrich Nußbaum (parteilos) wird neuer Finanzsenator in Berlin. Das gab der Regierende Bürgermeister Klaus Wowereit (SPD) bekannt. Der 51 Jahre alte Jurist war von 2003 bis 2007 Finanzsenator in Bremen. Er war außerdem als Rechtsanwalt tätig und ist Vizepräsident der Handelskammer Bremerhaven. Er folgt Thilo Sarrazin nach, der zum 1. Mai in den Vorstand der Bundesbank in Frankfurt/Main wechselt. Sarrazin war sieben Jahre Finanzsenator in Berlin. Der Regierende Bürgermeister Wowereit sagte, Nußbaum kenne sichals früherer Finanzsenator von Bremen mit Problemen wie Verschuldungund Länderfinanzausgleich bestens aus. And here I thought “scatty” was some kind of porn reference. “i loved “misle” as a verb. ” Remember how the character Huw in “How Green was My valley” mis-says, in English, “MISled (mizzled) in stead of “misLED” and the whole class laughs at him? There is a final “i” in alumin[i]um, so why drop it? I don’t get the Nusbaum joke. At one point I felt very pleased with myself for having correctly analyzed the word awry as a-wry rather than awr-y (rhyming with sorry) as I heard some other non-native speakers say it. Someone may have had several browser tabs open, and posted the story in the wrong one. I am amazed that so many people got mizzled by misled in their youth. No other word has come up here that often. I suppose that, like the other words, “misled” was read long before it was heard. But what books were those kids reading, in all of which “misled” occurred? It belongs to a higher social register than, say, “tricked” or “fooled”. As to my “lapples”, I guess most kids had heard adults mention that part of a suit jacket, and had never seen the word. I have no memory of what I could have been reading where the word “lapel” was used. Maybe Sears Roebuck catalogues (actually, it could have been for the underwear section, now that I think about it. Well, it was El Paso, for pete’s sake). @Emmaeck: I don’t see why mull shouldn’t be invested with the meaning of steep. I bet many people in fact make that association already, including myself. In contrast, the current sense as in mulled wine is “not easy to connect satisfactorily”, as the OED says: [Of obscure origin. It is not easy to connect the sense satisfactorily with that of mull v.1 It has been suggested that the vb. is f. mull n.1 applied to the powdered spices used in mulling; but there is no evidence of such a specific use of the n. Another unsupported conjecture is that the original sense may have been ‘to soften’, ‘render mild’ (cf. Du. mul soft) of which mull v.2 might be another application. Quite inadmissible is the notion, which appears in all recent Dicts., that mulled ale is a corruption of moldale (mould n.1) funeral banquet.] trans. To make (wine, beer, etc.) into a hot drink with the addition of sugar, spices, beaten yolk of egg, etc. I particularly like “quite inadmissible is the notion …”. In those days, PF (pussyfooting) was not the fashion. To me, PC is three-quarters PF. the character Huw in “How Green was My valley” “Huw” will be among the first on the name pronunciation site. Is that like Hugh? Welsh, innit? “scatological: dealing pruriently with excrement and excretory functions”? Because I say so. (and the 6 million google hits)(think also “devious”) The British spelling has an “i”, but not the American. http://www.answers.com/topic/aluminum-aluminium HP’s “sultry ‘weather'” narrative at February 18, 2009 08:54 PM: -Just reread your own paragraph. -I think that was the point. Yes, and very nicely done. A lovely tongue in cheek mixture of metaphor, irony, understatement, and double entendre. Sigh. I probably should have emailed him. Whatever he was drinking, I want some. I guess I missed the intent of the disclaimer after the paragraph! Congratulations, HP. You too, Nijma. Linnea says: A childhood friend of mine thought “picturesque” was pronounced “picture-skew”. My own favorite childhood misapprehension happened when my father had to go to a committee meeting where they would decide if he had “ten-year”. I understood this to mean that after you’d had had your job for ten years, they couldn’t fire you. The process puzzled me. Why did a committee have to decide whether he’d been there for ten years? Couldn’t they just look at a calendar? And if they did look at a calendar, they’d see that it had been less than ten years since we moved to that town. So I was very surprised when they granted him “ten-year” after all. (And by the way, hi. Nice blog.) What I like about “scatology” is that when translated into Spanish it comes out exactly the same as “eschatology”: “escatología”. I imagine the context tells people if excrement or the end of the world is under discussion. Equally delectable, as I recently discovered, is that the French words for sceptic and septic are indistinguishable in sound. I guess I missed the intent of the disclaimer after the paragraph! Of course you’re supposed to miss it–or pretend you do. Anything else would be lacking in proper decorum. After all, one may discuss sultry weather with all propriety. I don’t know a name for this type of literary device–not “reductio ad absurdum”, even though it demonstrates something while claiming the opposite–it’s not really a proof, more of a cognitive dissonance. Congratulations are hardly in order, though. Alas, my soulmate has delurked briefly, only to evaporate into thin air once again. Perhaps I was too quick to reveal the paucity of my financial reserves. Did I forget to mention the inheritance? Here’s a funny one: I read the word “respite” in books, and I pronounced it “reh-SPITE.” But I also learned the same word from adults around me, with the proper pronunciation of “REH-spit.” The latter pronunciation, I spelled, “restbit.” Because it’s a bit of rest, right? A restbit. So I was thinking there were two separate words. I didn’t learn they were the same word until I was reading one of those “commonly mispronounced words” lists in college. I still feel kind of annoyed that there’s an e on the end. one may discuss sultry weather with all propriety. I guess I have never lived in an area with really “sultry weather” as I was not familiar with that meaning of “sultry”. A.J.P. Crown says: ‘Huw Green Was My Valet’. Jeremy, you’re not serious!? I mean, LOL and all that, but Huw is pronounced “how”?? Aluminium/aluminum The British spelling has an “i”, but not the American …which is curious because the -ium suffix denotes a chemical element or compound. Why aluminum and not “cadmum” or “lithum”, etc ? Was it just a lazy pronounciation way back when ? There is no final “i” in the spelling [of mischievous], so why put one there ? Because I say so. An absolutely definitive argument ! AJP will appreciate: On my first visit to Oslo, I thought the station at the end of a major tram line was Major-stewer, rather than Mai-usta. respite … with the proper pronunciation of “REH-spit. REH-spite in British English … …and of course there is the famous Hymn: “Gladly my cross-eyed bear..” … and “lead me not into Thames Station”.. Mai-usta … I forgot to say : spelled Majorstua. I don’t think it’s that bad Paul, because ‘major’ the army rank would be pronounced mai-or, as well. I’d never thought of it. It’s a funny name for an area of a city, though: it means ‘major living room’, or something. In the Sixties, when Macmillan and Wilson were both PM, there was (allegedly) the kid who said ‘Our Father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name’. Other expats out there may experience the same problems I have, which is reading words or quotes and never hearing them pronounced or said aloud. I’m embarrassed to say that I came across Bush as “Dubya” several times and had no idea what it was. I pronounced it mentally in Russian (Дубя) Doob-ya. I finally wrote someone and asked what the heck it meant. Huw is pronounced the same as Hugh. There was a Sir Hugh Greene (brother of Graham) who was the head of the BBC in the Sixties, at the same time as someone called Hughie Green was a quiz show host on ITV (the British commercial-tv channel at that time). Hughie Green, a Canadian, was recently revealed to have been the father of the late Paula Yates, a tv personality in her own right, validating scientific speculation that the qualities needed by a tv personality are for the most part inherited. Was it just a lazy pronounciation way back when ? It was the original name Davy gave it: 1812 SIR H. DAVY Chem. Philos. I. 355 As yet Aluminum has not been obtained in a perfectly free state. more on suffixes with “optional” i: Without undertaking a statistical search, it seems to me that these suffixes are more likely to have i if they immediately follow the stressed syllable (mystErious, delIcious, urAnium, cAdmium, etc) but to lack i if they are farther away from the stress (fAbulous, mIschievous, carnIvorous, alUminum, etc). Words (or variants) which do not seem to follow these patterns (mischIEvous, alUminium) are more likely to be regularized by speakers (mischIEvIous, alUminum), whether or not the regularized version makes it into the standard, so British alUminium but American regularized alUminum. Or vice-versa: which was most prominent in naming the metal, the stress pattern (therefore alUminum or the pattern of scientific nomenclature with suffix -ium (therefore aluminium), since the two factors are at odds with each other? Incidentally, the reason people “can’t understand why” they pronounce this or that or the other is because they pay conscious attention to individual words but are largely unconscious of more general patterns which may govern their pronunciation: that’s one of the things linguists (especially those for whom the patterns are not totally internalized because they did not grow up with the language) try to pay close attention to in order to discover the actual (not artificial) “rules” of a language. m-l: British alUminium but American regularized alUminum. But it’s British AluMINium. The way I heard it, Sir Humphrey first came up with ‘Aluminium’ for his name, but subsequently changed it to ‘Aluminum’ (or vice versa, I can’t remember). ‘Aluminum’ was faithfully picked up by Americans diligently following his whim. It’s really Sir Humph who’s to blame for this, but I’ve found that Americans get secretly criticised all over (ok, in Germany, Britain & Norway) for not being able to pronounce long words properly. They retaliate by saying our women are ugly, the swines. This is how world wars start. AJP: But it’s British AluMINium. I did wonder about this possibility. If so, the word conforms perfectly to the general -ium after stressed syllable pattern. If the identification and naming of the metal dates from the early 1800’s, then communication at that time was mostly on paper, so that most scientists concerned would not necessarily have been aware of each others’ (?) pronunciation. Noetica says: Or vice-versa: which was most prominent in naming the metal, the stress pattern … since the two factors are at odds with each other? Couldn’t agree more, Marie-Lucie. There is no good support for partisanship about this one, as there is about, say, preventive. See OED etymology for preventative: “[f. prevent v. + -ative. See also preventive, the preferable formation]”. (Superseded in current online version?) A gloss: we don’t have preventation, so why insert -at- in preventive? Something (perhaps not parallel) could also be said about interpret[at]ive and the verb orient[ate]; but I don’t want to be “overly” “assertative”. (OED on overly: “Apart from O.E., Sc. and U.S. until the 20th cent., often regarded as an Americanism in the U.K.”; and OED records assertative, with two 19C citations.) Coroa, it’s like at Wikipedia, isn’t it? Your man Davy wrote the “stub”, so his whims don’t really count. The first “non-stub” version sets the weighty precedents. Marie-Lucie, why the query in each others’ (?) pronunciation? Uncertainty between others’ and other’s? I say that other’s fits the usually accepted norms, though I see why one might hesitate in the present case, which has invariably but problematically singular each, at least quasi-plural others, and singular pronunciation. The question is discussed well enough in M-W’s very catholic Concise Dictionary of English Usage. Stephen Mulraney says: I could add that it’s “British” (not only) /aljuMINjum/ as opposed to American /aLUMinum/. That is, the first ‘u’ us ‘yoo’. In Polish, for a long time I took the ubiquitous advertisements for “szkoły policealne” as referring to some kind of “police school” (actually, though would be “policyjne”). I wondered why there were so many of them… It turned out that it’s ‘post-secondary schools” (po post + licealny, adj. form of liceum, lycaeum). Anyway, I vote for mischievious. And for pain-staking. Pains-taking, indeed. actually, that would be “policyjne” Not the same phenomenon, but more embarrassing: I used to pronounce “desultory” with the emphasis on the second syllable, “salient” as “SALLY-unt,” How are they pronounced, then? <reads on> Desultory on the first syllable? Dessel-tory? :-S Ils sont fous, les… But seriously, if you want to get married, we should talk. Like being John Emerson, being married to me is a terrific burden to bear. Many are called; few have answered. ROTFL! Crap, it’s stressed on the last syllable? My own favorite childhood misapprehension happened when my father had to go to a committee meeting where they would decide if he had “ten-year”. I’ve even seen someone spell it tenyear in a blog comment. Here’s a funny one: I read the word “respite” in books, and I pronounced it “reh-SPITE.” But I also learned the same word from adults around me, with the proper pronunciation of “REH-spit.” Please, people, do carry on. Who knows how much else I’ll learn in this thread. I still feel kind of annoyed that there’s an e on the end. Didn’t Noah Webster want to abolish this nonsense? I remember being taught determine and intestine… …and to the Republican, Richard Sands, one vegetable… ‘Our Father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name’ That makes the fourth possibility for what the H in “Jesus H. Christ” stands for. I’m embarrassed to say that I came across Bush as “Dubya” several times and had no idea what it was. I figured that out on my own! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Probably I saw it in “George Dubya” the first time. Davy first wanted to name it alumium. Someone quickly pointed out that derivation from alumen must yield aluminum, and that’s what he then published. Then the ending was uniformized to aluminium, but that was already too late for the USA… the famous Hymn: “Gladly my cross-eyed bear..” It is “the” not “my” in the hymn: the original means “I would gladly carry the cross [of Jesus] (if I could help him)”, not “carry my own cross”, which everyone has to do. respite: I am surprised: I never knew that this word was supposed to be pronounced as respit. each others’ (?): thank you, Noetica, the question mark does mean that I was not sure how to handle this and decided to rely on Hatters’ goodwill instead of trying to rewrite the sentence. alumin(i)um: so the first try with -um was influenced by the stress pattern (meaning Davy tried pronouncing it before he wrote it), and the rewrite by the general written pattern with -ium, which is awkward in terms of pronunciation unless the stress is placed on the min part. Perhaps this pronunciation was also influenced by MINium (a red paint used as rustproofing)? M-L: As you may know, “miniatures” in art history have nothing to do with size, but are so called because they were painted with minium. AJCP: That valley/valet pun doesn’t work in AmE. Linnea: You are not alone: a “tenured graduate student” is one who’s been around for a decade and still no Ph.D. I should have checked back on this thread more often. The perils of feed-readers. Nijma: I was drinking Old Overholt neat. Inexpensive, eminently drinkable, and the most effective inhibition-suppressant I’ve ever found. Yet morality compels me not to recommend it to others. Marie-Lucie: I am afraid I veered somewhat from the intent of the comment of yours that inspired me; I was, as they say, on a tear. My apologies for any misunderstanding this may have engendered. Nijma: Check your email. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life. (Oh, crap — the screenplay for Casablanca is taking over again . . . .) (Oh, crap — the screenplay for Casablanca is taking over again . . . .) And another beautiful friendship is hatched chez LH. Noetica, I am shocked — shocked — to learn that off-topic pastiche is going on in this thread. Yes indeed. Round up all suspicious characters and search them for stolen documents. Important. I think this is the beginning of a ….do you think he believed the part about the inheritance? Speaking of scatological, I nearly forgot the old chestnut about the “W.C.” which is what those wacky British call their powder rooms. And what do they call a “toilet”? If you check out any “for rent” sign on an apartment building, it will say “to let” in letters so close together that at first glance it looks like “toilet”. I must disagree. They are miniatures because they are very small. For a current definition, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_art It refers to Hilliard, one of the greatest miniaturists. There is even a World Federation of Miniaturists. We’ve just inherited a Yorkshire terrier. It’s the size of a kitten. As you may know, “miniatures” in art history have nothing to do with size, but are so called because they were painted with minium. Paul is right—they are in fact so called because they are small; the word is from Italian miniare ‘to decorate with small images’ (OED). Now, the OED goes on to say (in small type): “Italian miniatura originally denoted the painting of small images to decorate the initial letters of chapters in manuscripts (compare the use of post-classical Latin miniare in the sense ‘to rubricate’). As these images were necessarily small, the term came to be used for small portraits, probably reinforced by an association by folk etymology with (ultimately classical Latin) min– in minore ‘minor’ adj., etc., which has probably also affected the development of the extended senses in English and in other languages.” So the etymology of the word goes back to minium, which I did not know and for which I thank you, but it’s incorrect to claim that that etymology has had any influence on the sense of the word since the transfer of meaning—the minium element has left no trace in the English use of the word (as recorded by the OED). A real dog does not have floppy ears. Sapo: Paul is right—they are in fact so called because they are small; the word is from Italian miniare ‘to decorate with small images’ (OED). But Dauzat has this for miniature (in French of course): miniature 1645, Corneille (migniature) ; 1653, Oudin (miniature) ; en miniature, fin XVIIe s., Sévigné ; ital. miniatura, de minio, minium. Minium exists in French since 1547 (Petit Robert and TLF) or 1560 (Dauzat) — miniem since the 14th century — and, according to Dauzat again, it is the Latin word that replaced an older, already-Gallicized word: minie (attested since the 11th century), or mine. The Dico étymo, inventaire des étymologies surprenantes (Jean Maillet, 2008) has an entry for “Miniature ▬ n. f. Minium (latin classique : « vermillon »”, in which it says this: Cinnabar [cinabre] is a red mercuric sulphide out of which a red colouring substance could be extracted: vermilion (cf. vermeil). To call this sulphide, Classical Latin had the word minium. As an imitation of this natural pigment, the Romans used lead tetroxide, a compound that was heated and ground to powder, and which they also called minium. […] This red pigment will be used a lot during the Middle Ages in the art of illumination [enluminure], these “capdelized*” [cadelées] letters (cf. cadeau) painted with bright colours in missals and other religious books. In Italian, these illuminations were naturally called miniatura, the verb miniare taking the meaning of “illuminating a parchment, a missal, an anthology”. So, what Marie-Lucie said wasn’t just lunacy, no? And what appears in my copy of the SOED (in fact called “The Oxford Universal Dictionary Illustrated”, 3rd edition, Caxton) doesn’t seem to be in contradiction with what is written above: Miniature, 1586. [Adaptation of Italian miniatura, adoption of medieval Latin miniatura, formed on miniare, to rubricate, illuminate; see Miniate. Probably influenced by the Latin min- expressing smallness (in minor, minimus, etc.)] The SOED is talking of the influence of some (god of) small things. It is not saying that miniature is cognate with minimus. The entry for the abovementioned Miniate also reads as follows: Miniate, v. 1657. [Formed on Latin miniat-, participial stem of miniare (formed on minium; see Minium + -ate.] transitive To colour or paint with vermilion; to rubricate or (more widely) to illuminate (a manuscript). “To rubricate”… Just as in ‘rubric’, isn’t there some redness floating around? Nothing to blush about though: rubricity doesn’t have anything to do with dirty thoughts. Vermeil — vermilion in English, but also vermeil, i.e. gilded [covered with gold] silver — has a funny etymology too, since the Dico étymo says it comes from Greek apsinthion, “which cannot be drunk” (I wonder how true that is, added to the fact that there is no straightforward link with the following maggot), and from the small worm (vermiculus in latin) known as mealybug (cochenille), out of which a red colour was extracted (the cochineal). Gold is sometimes red but not vermicelli? How weird, Mr Heinz! ** I have no idea about how cadelé should be translated into English. In fact it wasn’t Marie-Lucie but John Cowan who said that the origin of the word miniature lied — or dipped — in the red minium. Paul, was it written too small? Miniaturisation might become problematic in our technology-driven societies. Indeed, I did not know about the relationship between miniature and minium. Vermeil — vermilion in English, but also vermeil, i.e. gilded [covered with gold] silver — has a funny etymology too, since the Dico étymo says it comes from Greek apsinthion, “which cannot be drunk” I wonder about the standards of the Dico étymo if it actually says that the word vermeil “comes from” Greek apsinthion. Usually, “comes from” means that a word has evolved from an earlier form, or, put another way, the current word is basically the same as an earlier one but has undergone phonetic transformation (compatible with similar transformations in other words). According to that definition, French vermeil “comes from” the root or stem verm of Latin vermis “worm” but there is no way that it is in any way related to Greek apsinthion (which appears to be the source of French absinthe, a bitter, green alcoholic drink). If there is a hidden relationship between the two words, it is certainly not an etymological (= genetic) one. [See final comment in thread for explanation re vermeil and apsinthion—LH.] Siganus and John Cowan (cc LH): I take the point, the origin is minium. But it does appear that in practice the minium origin faded away in favour of the other derivation of miniature, if I understand correctly the following from the Online Eytmology Dictionary. Miniature : 1586 (n.) “a reduced image,” from It. miniatura “manuscript illumination or small picture,” from pp. of miniare “to illuminate a manuscript,” from L. miniare “to paint red,” from minium “red lead,” used in ancient times to make red ink. Extended sense of “small” (adj.) is first attested 1714, because pictures in medieval manuscripts were small, infl. by L. min-, root expressing smallness (minor, minimus, minutus, etc.). Marie-Lucie: the proper term for W.C. in British English is lavatory, “toilet” being considered (by some) as non-U. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_and_non-U_English Paul, I do not recall commenting about WC, you must be confusing me with someone else. But now that you mention it: “toilet” has an interesting history. toilette in French first meant ‘little piece of cloth’, such as a facecloth, then ‘grooming and hygiene activities’ (faire sa toilette), then ‘place where such activities take place (including some water access)’, then ‘bathroom’ (in the euphemistic American sense where the main purpose is not bathing) and later (in the plural) ‘public facilities’. But Dauzat has this for miniature I’m not sure what you’re objecting to in my comment. I was not denying that miniature is etymologically from minium, I was pointing out that the comment “miniatures in art history have nothing to do with size, but are so called because they were painted with minium” is wrong on both counts—they are so called because of their small size, and minium has nothing to do with it. if I understand correctly the following from the Online Eytmology Dictionary You do indeed! Aidan Kehoe says: Wow, I’m surprised no-one else has mentioned AWry, /ˈɔːɹɪ/. I said saBOTage, /səˈbɔtɪdʒ/ rhyming with cottage, as a 14-year-old, which would have been fine if it had been borrowed from the Normans. Wow, I’m surprised no-one else has mentioned AWry Actually, marie-lucie did away up there, but it’s not easy to keep track of these threads! Aidan: Wow, I’m surprised no-one else has mentioned AWry, /ˈɔːɹɪ/. No one else than who? I did, about halfway down this thread. (sorry, LH must have posted while I was still writing) Marie-Lucie is suffering an awful battering here. We’re lucky it’s there in black and white for all to see what she’s actually saying. I was trying to explain what a euphemism is to my daughter the other day. I gave the example of toilet, bathroom, powder-room etc., but when she asked me what the non-euphemistic name is I couldn’t think of anything except ‘crapper’. Shit-hole’s no good because we don’t use a hole any longer. W.c., although it’s teetering on the edge of being a euphemism, is one of the more straightforward names. Marie-Lucie: Mes excuses, I didn’t check back on the thread properly. Shellac is a resin made from beetles, that we used when I was an art student as a fixative for charcoal drawings. Nowadays, apparently, it’s a floorwax … and a dessert topping! AJP, that’s the trouble about euphemisms: one can end up having no “real words” any more for the same objects and topics. I think that slang words and euphemisms are two sides of the same coin: slang words tend to insist on some very concrete, often unpleasant characteristic, euphemisms to veil this reality. In your case you were left with a choice of either euphemisms or slang words, with no neutral term in between. Yes. You’re right, of course. The thing I hate about euphemisms is not that some people feel obliged to use them; that’s their problem. It’s the implied criticism of me for not using them that I don’t like. Then there’s expert jargon, neither popular slang nor popular euphemism. Expert jargon is unpopular slang. Very clever, except for one thing: slang of whatever kind is short-lived, expert jargon is forever. Expert jargon is sometimes classified together with slang as a type of special vocabulary, but there is a big difference in that expert jargon (whether of computer nerds or of fishermen or football players) is required by the specialized activities of those groups, while slang (and it counterpart euphemism) has strong social and emotional connotations. while slang (and it counterpart euphemism) has strong social and emotional connotations I think the functioning of slang in social groups is a “spezialized activity” no different, at this level of generalization, from the functioning of jargon in a “specialized activity” such as fishing. Note that I do not say “function” in either case, because I don’t want to imply goal-directed activity. There is a stock theme in popularizing TV programs on primate behavior, to the effect that “apes delouse each other, and so strengthen the social bonds between them”. That only makes sense if you have some notion like this: “first there were individual apes, who later discovered the advantages of social bonding, and then they (or the species) became aware of how delousing could be useful in strengthening social bonds, so they (or the species) employ delousing to that end”. What I’m suggesting here is not that there are no differences between the functionings of slang and expert jargon. Rather, I am suggesting that there is an invidious, fundamentally thought-hobbling comparision lurking beneath the distinction between what “expert jargon” is supposed to be doing (provide something “objectively needed by the activity”) and what slang is assumed to be doing (provide something “not objectively needed”). What advance in our understanding of human behavior is achieved by the view that social and emotional activities are not “spezialized”? Does this mean that you have to “know something special” as a fisherman, whereas “anybody can pick up slang”? Does it mean that the activity involves “transfer of knowledge” or is “goal-directed”, whereas the other one doesn’t? Grumbly Stu, your comment is interesting but is not the point I was trying to make. As I see it, enabling bonding is not the primary function of either jargon or slang, although both forms of speech can end up doing so. If you get involved in some specialized activity, whether through your job or other pursuit, you will learn some specific terms for things or activities which are not generally engaged in by the general public: if you work in a hospital, you will learn a lot of medical vocabulary including shortcuts, etc. but there is no emotional value attached to those words in themselves. If you study linguistics, you will learn a lot of technical terms but also without emotional value. Similarly if you engage in bungee-jumping or baseball or whatever. Those technical terms may come to have some emotional meaning to you as symbols of a shared experience with friends, but they will leave other people cold. Slang words on the other hand do not usually have a meaning untranslatable into more general vocabulary without circumlocution but in many cases they are an additional vocabulary in parallel to the general one, and this vocabulary (although often originating in a particular group) is known to many people who nevertheless knowingly refrain from using it and try to enforce this restraint with their children. Hearing such words often causes an emotional reaction on the part of people who do not use them. Such is not the case when hearing expert jargon which one either does or does not understand: one may feel left out, but not shocked. And some parts of slang (bordering on group jargon) may come and go but some of it stays for centuries. I feel that euphemism is the opposite of slang precisely because even objectively neutral terms cause reactions because of their strong emotional content or connotations. Euphemisms try to gloss over painful or embarrassing realities while slang faces them head on and even emphasizes them. It is often said that men are taught not to show emotion as opposed to women: their (usually) greater use of slang can be viewed as a different form of showing emotion. AJP: shellac in floorwax? I don’t think so. The problem with shellac is that it’s not very durable and also it dissolves in alcohol. It’s mostly useful as an undercoat to prevent staining. Also here at least you can’t get it in flakes–apparently dissolving them is a long tedious process, much more work than just stirring a paint can. You would find shellac in a can already dissolved in alcohol. Shellac is also the base of the (relatively expensive) miracle product BIN primer. ‘Floorwax & dessert topping’ was a quotation from a comment by Language, last week, as well as being in the wiki article on shellac. I was quoting an old SNL episode (from the first season, when we were all just getting used to the concept of “fake ads”). It has apparently been removed from the Wikipedia article. Marie-Lucie, I did not put my point well, it appears. I was not attempting in any way to relate slang or expert jargon to “bonding”. The ape behavior example was intended rather to illustrate the reason why I wrote “the functioning of slang” instead of “the function of slang is to…”. I was trying to say that I do not see that goal-directed activity is the only activity that “counts”. So I was advancing a counter-argument to an argument that no one had made, or rather that I myself went on to imagine rhetorically only in a later paragraph. Not the best way to set out a line of thought! The idea I was trying to counter in advance was that expert jargon has some sort of objectivity or goal-directedness about it, of which slang has none, or if so of another kind. What you write seems to me to be written in the spirit of that idea, as in the argumentative transition: If you get involved in some specialized activity, whether through your job or other pursuit, you will learn some specific terms for things or activities which are not generally engaged in by the general public: if you work in a hospital, you will learn a lot of medical vocabulary including shortcuts, etc. but there is no emotional value attached to those words in themselves. Emotional value is here the “subjective” counterpart to the “objective” specific terms. Emotions are feely things, specific terms are hard things. If I understand aright, you say that “strong emotional content or connotations” tend to be combatted by euphemisms and reinforced by slang – with the implication that this is not the case and not necessary for expert jargons. In your initial comment, you wrote that “expert jargon (whether of computer nerds or of fishermen or football players) is required by the specialized activities of those groups, while slang (and it counterpart euphemism) has strong social and emotional connotations”. That is what I referred to as an invidious comparison. The one thing is required and neat, the other is optional and messy. In an attempt to put my message in a nutshell, I would say that both are necessary and messy (complex) – and that traditional dichotomies such as public/private, technical/emotional and necessary/unnecessary are hobbling our thinking and speaking. Some biologists have a way of distinguishing between teleonomic and teleological processes, which is a little dicey to my mind, but still slightly more thought-productive than the other distinctions. Nijma Nijmasson says: ‘Floorwax & dessert topping’–looks like I missed that episode of SNL. I do not recall commenting about WC, you must be confusing me with someone else. Uh, I was the one who brought up toilets. Thinking of that thread, wherever it is now, where Emerson decided “mischevious” was a word that would be used within the family, (and I agree, but having grown up less than three hours from his domain, it’s not surprising) there are probably words for toilet that would be used within the family too. “Rest room”, “wash room”, “the ladies” and “the men’s room” are all words for polite inquiries with strangers. For Minnesota I would add “powder room”, although that might be very local, and I have also heard “the little girls’ room” and “the little boys’ room”, although it grates. “Bathroom” and “toilet” are not impersonal enough for strangers. Grumbly Stu, of course there will be some overlap and those dichotomies are not “written in stone”, but I think we have to agree to disagree. Most languages are full of dichotomies and separate compartments which do not necessarily make sense to speakers of other languages (which have their own way of slicing up the universe in order to make sense of it). HP: I was drinking Old Overholt neat. Where I come from that’s called Rotgut; Wild Turkey is the preferred brand. Although I’m not a rye drinker, I would have to say that not mixing whiskey with anything but water demonstrates good character. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life. This actually scared me until I remembered that when it comes to romance, I’m very good at outliving people. So no, probably not for the rest of my life. Hat: I’m not sure what you’re objecting to in my comment. I’m not sure what I’m objecting to either. 🙂 On the other hand, the left one, I might have just wanted to add my touch of paint. However, by reading what Paul wrote and what you wrote after him one could possibly be brought to think that miniature had nothing to do whatsoever with minium, which isn’t the case. And I’m not sure I agree with the statement that “minium has nothing to do with it” [how miniatures are called]. But maybe we are not talking about the same miniature, the contemporary one vs. the medieval one? Paul: it does appear that in practice the minium origin faded away in favour of the other derivation of miniature Of course it did, and in several languages. That’s the fun part of etymology and its surprises. Marie-Lucie: I wonder about the standards of the Dico étymo if it actually says that the word vermeil “comes from” Greek apsinthion. I think they missed a bit of proofreading and it was a printing error. This was the heading for the entry on vermeil and it is the same one that appears on top of the entry about “la petite fée verte” (i.e. absinth, the forbidden beverage once used and abused by Verlaine, Toulouse-Lautrec and some others). A.J.P.: I was trying to explain what a euphemism is to my daughter the other day. I gave the example of toilet, bathroom, powder-room etc. The first time I heard the expression “powder-room” it was in the mouth of a resort architect who always called the customers “guests”, never clients, as if the people coming to the hotel were invited by the owners. I suppose these guests were not supposed to pay for anything; they only made a gift when leaving. And it reminds me of a 1958 story told by French navigator Bernard Moitessier, who was invited for lunch by a hotel director on the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha. Having very little financial resources, Bernard and his friend Henry stuff themselves as much as they can, thinking that with this God-sent treat they might be able to skip a few meals. Alas, when everything is eaten and drunk, here comes the bill… John Cowan wrote: Paul responded: I must disagree. They are miniatures because they are very small. Paul is right—they are in fact so called because they are small; the word is from Italian miniare ‘to decorate with small images’ (OED). Now, the OED goes on to say […] So the etymology of the word goes back to minium, which I did not know and for which I thank you, but it’s incorrect to claim that that etymology has had any influence on the sense of the word since the transfer of meaning—the minium element has left no trace in the English use of the word (as recorded by the OED). I have bolded the portion of my comment which makes me wonder how anyone “could possibly be brought to think that miniature had nothing to do whatsoever with minium.” It has to do with it etymologically, not semantically. Once more, the original statement that miniatures “have nothing to do with size, but are so called because they were painted with minium” is completely wrong. Like rubrics, miniatures intended as embellishments for significant initial letters in manuscripts were red originally, but at least for the most significant ones (eg at the beginning of books or chapters rather than paragraphs) the red paint was soon joined by other colours, thus obscuring the original link of Italian miniatura with minium. By the time the word was adopted (and adapted) from Italian into French and then English the etymological meaning had completely disappeared in favour of the “small, tiny” one, emphasized also by the mini- at the start of the word, connecting it with Latin minimum and others. Siganus: a resort architect who always called the customers “guests” This is typical hotelspeak. Customers only buy things, while guests are enjoying services generously provided to them. For a slightly different example of possible euphemism: in Canadian airports announcements are made in both French and English. On a recent trip I was surprised to hear that the French version (at least) had replaced the word passagers with clients (customers). Sometimes genuine improvements have been made to the French version of the announcements, but how that particular change was an improvement over the previous version is beyond me. Are passengers supposed to forget that they are going on a plane, but concentrate on their financial transaction with the airline? That seems counterproductive to me. I hate to disagree with the devilishly handsome Sig, but in the spirit of learning, aren’t people staying at hotels always called guests? Sure, it’s euphemistic, like toilet, but what else are you going to call them: punters? A ‘customer’ in a hotel is someone in the hotel shop buying a newspaper. If the hotel wants to know if the customer wants the newspaper put on his bill they ask “Are you a guest here?”. In England there’s an expression that’s probably no longer used which is ‘paying guest’. It applies to two or three people who stay with a family or landlady at her house (in Brighton or one of the dreary British seaside resorts), during the season. One odd thing I found when I was designing cruise ships is that ‘passengers’ is invariably written by everyone in the cruise business as ‘pax’. People who ride cruise ships should be called “victims”. This is a euphemism for something worse. In a sense, I do not blame Corona for making their lives miserable with his diabolical designs. A few years back, hospital “patients” became “clients”. And soon they might be “health products and services consumers”. Hat: It has to do with it etymologically, not semantically. Very concise explanation, LH. Clarifies it for me. I wonder about the standards of the Dico étymo if it actually says that the word vermeil “comes from” Greek apsinthion. Jean Maillet, the author of Dico Etymo, writes to apologize for a misprint in the etymology of vermeil: The etymology I referred to in my manuscript was the following : “Vermeil, eille – Vermiculus (latin classique : « vermisseau »)”. There is obviously no relationship between “vermeil” and Greek “apsinthion”. I wonder how the etymology I mentioned for the french word “absinthe” happened to be resumed for “vermeil”. He promises that it will be corrected in the next edition. This thread was so much fun! Ø says: I’m sorry I missed it; it was before my time. I knew someone who knew someone who pronounced “domestic” as if it were “dosmetic”. And I think it was the same person who thought squirrels were called squares. Sashura says: oh, I missed all the fun here too. it’s British AluMINium I’d thought that aluminum was something different from aluminium before someone explained to me the British/American difference. There is an old Soviet army joke where the sergeant assigns new conscripts to load aluminium onto a lorry. ‘You will load люминь (lyu-MIN’)’ he says. ‘Comrade sergent, it’s алюминий (aluminiy)’ says one soldier, straight from school. ‘And the smart ones will come with me and start loading чугунь (chugun’)’ says the sergeant. (chugun, without the soft n, is pig iron, cast iron). but Tsvetayeva is right, I’ve just checked in Dahl’s, pazhit means both pasture and field, it’s a field farther away from the village where there is more grass untrampled by the animals. Other expats out there We’ve been struggling for months to find an alternative word to ‘expat’, which, I think, at least in some countries, is just a cover word to avoid using ‘immigrant’ or ‘migrant’. If you pay local taxes, are within the local social security system, your children go to local school and not to the expatriate, embassy or foreign mission, school, you are not an expatriate (i.e. living outside of your native country for job requirements and expecting to go back to carry on with your life), but one of your newly adopted nation. Saying ‘expat’ is like saying ‘I’m not here, really’. not it isn’t, the Welsh name is KHEE-oo, not the English h’-YOOH. Sash, I believe “expat” is mostly used by the British, I can’t remember hearing anyone from the US or elsewhere use it. Anyway, I agree it’s an awful word with colonial associations. However, I certainly don’t regard myself as an “immigrant” either. I live in a house and I might move sometime. I didn’t adopt an entire nation when I started paying taxes for local services. GeorgeW says: @AJP Crown: “I believe “expat” is mostly used by the British, I can’t remember hearing anyone from the US or elsewhere use it.” ‘Expat’ is a very common word among Americans working in Saudi Arabia. However, it could well have originated with the Brits. AJP "Blind Lemon" Crown says: Ah, thanks. Sashura' says: But Crown, if you are neither an expat, nor an immigrant, what are you? Expat is widely used here in France to self-refer collectively to the British and other West Europeans living in the country including those living full-time and integrated in the French system. Expat is a horrible word because, among other things, it has a (self-)segregationist element in it. ‘We are in France, but are not part of France’. I am looking for a neutral word that could replace ‘expat’ and can’t find one. Bathrobe says: For me, expat has always implied that you are posted to a country with expat benefits. That is, your employer is a foreign company paying a big salary, you probably get a moving allowance, hardship posting allowance, etc. Also you probably don’t know the local language because you’re only there for a few years. Since I’ve always worked for local companies (or for foreign entities as a ‘local hire’), I’ve always made a point of learning the local language, and I don’t normally hang out at expat watering holes, I’ve never really considered myself an expat. A kind of reverse snobbery, I guess. There you are. But you aren’t an immigrant either, are you? I sometimes call myself a ‘long-term sojourner’. Not very snappy, I know. I think of expat in the same terms as Bathrobe, thanks. With free movement within the EU on the one hand, and old racist, nationalist prejudices still there on the other, there is clearly a gap which expat is trying to fill – and I don’t like it. AJP Ratty says: I don’t like “expat”; but I see a need for another word than “immigrant” which like “expat” has tons of baggage that I don’t want to pick up. How about “glory”? (“But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘long-term sojourner,'” Alice objected.) AJP Feuerabend says: Having had a lousy spring and summer, Humpty-Dumpty had a… I have lived in Canada for the major portion of my life, but even though “immigrant” may describe my official status, it is not a word that I feel applies to me. @Sashura: In my 11 years in Saudi Arabia, I never felt that ‘expat’ had negative connotations. As a matter of law, even if a Westerner wanted to, it would be extremely, extremely difficult to become “part of Saudi Arabia” legally or otherwise. @Bathrobe: I did enjoy a good salary and benefits for which I am grateful. But, I didn’t hang out at “expat watering holes” and I made an effort to learn as much about the culture and language as possible. Although we had Saudi friends, there are cultural barriers that are hard to leap. It is true that many Westerners are there solely for the money and have no interest whatsoever in learning about the culture or mixing with “the locals.” I think it is possible to maintain one’s ethnicity without disrespecting or distancing themselves from the local citizens. George, thanks, Expat doesn’t have negative connotations in Saudi Arabia probably because noone there expects you to integrate. Is there a collective name for non-European workers, Arabs or Africans, for example? How about Saxons? The French often use Anglo-Saxons in reference to the British and the Americans in the context of ‘different cultural attitudes’? LH, what is this glory thing, I don’t recognise it? It’s not Alice in W learning that a word can mean anything one wants it to mean? I like “extra-terrestrial”. I might hang out at an extra-terrestrials’ watering hole. “Alien” also works for me. Ummites? Follow the crowd to Bugarach. @Sashura: “Expat doesn’t have negative connotations in Saudi Arabia probably because noone there expects you to integrate.” Exactly, and both legal and social obstacles are erected to prevent it from occurring. “Is there a collective name for non-European workers, Arabs or Africans, for example?” Not that I recall, but it is more commonly used for Westerners. Asians and other Arabs years ago were referred to as ‘TCNs’ (Third Country Nationals), but I think that is dying out. Saudis often divide the world into categories: Saudis, Arabs, Muslims, foreigners. It’s not Alice in W learning that a word can mean anything one wants it to mean? That’s exactly what it is. Except that it’s from Through The Looking-Glass. thanks, I was getting worried I’m losing it. That bit in AiW is my favourite – and very Hatty. I always liked to refer to myself as a gaijin or laowai. They are broad enough to encompass all types of foreign guest, but they do have the disadvantage of referring principally to white foreigners. Just discovered this exchange in Samuil Lurie’s Литератор Писарев [The writer Pisarev] (which is not nearly as good as his magisterial book on Nikolai Polevoy, but after all it was his first book, and he was only in his mid-twenties when he wrote it), and it reminded me of the Tsvetaeva quote in the post: — [Pisarev, in prison:] А что еще там делается, на наших литературных пажитях? — [Blagosvetlov, his publisher:] На пастбищах, ты хотел сказать? А все то же самое. “So what else are they doing out their, in our literary pastures [using the word pázhit’]?” “You mean in the pastures [using the synonymous pástbishche]? The same old thing.” I’m not sure why Blagosvetlov corrects him, unless the implication is that he misunderstood it similarly to Tsvetaeva.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3408
__label__wiki	0.932676	0.932676	Trump is going to the LSU-Alabama game on Saturday. So is the ‘Baby Trump’ balloon. libadmin November 8, 2019 A GoFundMe page has raised several thousand dollars more than the $4,000 needed to bring the balloon to Alabama and set it up, organizers say. The blowup caricature of a scowling, orange-faced president in a safety-pinned diaper has delighted activists since its first incarnation — 20 feet tall and filled with helium — went up for Trump’s trip to the United Kingdom last year. The blimp will be the latest conspicuous show of opposition to greet the president at a sports event, after long boos at a World Series game and mixed reactions at a UFC match in New York. Donations toward the display hit targets within hours of the fundraiser’s launch, in a testament to Baby Trump’s reliable appeal to the president’s critics. The fundraiser “just kind of took off,” said Trace Fayard, a 24-year-old Tuscaloosa resident who helped organize the effort to bring Baby Trump to the area of Bryant-Denny Stadium. “I went out to the bar last night and the bartender was talking about it, and it had only been up for 45 minutes.” The GoFundMe page says extra funds will go toward the Montgomery, Ala.-based Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit that aims to combat mass incarceration and racial inequities. WE DID IT!!! Baby Trump is coming to Tuscaloosa! Thanks for making this endeavor a thing. All extra funds will he donated to the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery. Will update once we have a location. He needs a lot a space seeing as he is a big baby. https://t.co/3Ygh44Aw5r — Ñic Gulas (@Nic_Gulas) November 7, 2019 Baby Trump’s debut in London inspired many copycats, while Trump supporters criticized it as petty (former U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage called the blimp “the biggest insult to a sitting US President ever”). A website under the name Baby Trump Tour now loans out six giant infants and tracks their appearances at Trump visits around the country, from a Florida rally to a Pennsylvania Shell plant. Many anticipate a warmer welcome for Trump at Saturday’s football game than at the World Series and the mixed martial arts matchup. The Tigers and the Crimson Tide will face off in a red state that the president won by a large margin in 2016. “If not for the, at best, lukewarm reaction at those two sporting events, would Trump be traveling to see No. 1 LSU play No. 2 Alabama?” a recent article on AL.com asks. “And at an event where he figures to receive overwhelming cheers?” But the president’s planned visit has also kicked up controversy. A student government leader at the University of Alabama sought to assure people Wednesday that they wouldn’t face penalties for showing their disapproval this weekend, amid an uproar over a warning that organizations engaging in “disruptive behavior” would lose their block seating for the rest of the season. From the University of Alabama SGA, ahead of President Trump’s visit to the game. Strange that in all the games in which drunken bacchanalia has been tolerated, if not celebrated and encouraged I’ve never once been warned to not be “disruptive” pic.twitter.com/1j87QlxSDr — Carter-William (@carterwilliam_) November 6, 2019 “I’ve never once been warned not to be ‘disruptive,’ ” one email recipient wrote on Twitter. Comments on the GoFundMe page for Tuscaloosa Baby Trump also suggest fans will not be entirely welcoming to a divisive leader. “I decided I would rather send [my alumni dues] to you to protest this abomination than to send them to [University of Alabama] after allowing this fool to come ruin our big game,” one person wrote. “I do not want my university used as a political platform and ego boost for 45,” said another, promising to show up “with protest signs and booing loudly.” Trump supporters, meanwhile, have shared their disappointment with the balloon stunt. “What a shame that you chose to embarrass the University of Alabama and the president of America instead of focusing on a great game,” on woman messaged Fayard, in a note that he says she also sent to his boss. Fayard’s co-organizer got similar expressions of displeasure. Fayard said he wants to show people that his home state is not uniformly red. He also wants to convey his dismay at extra stadium security that means fans will need to show up earlier than usual. “That’s what we’re most upset about, to be honest,” Fayard said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/11/07/trump-is-going-lsu-alabama-game-saturday-so-is-baby-trump-balloon/ Book by ‘Anonymous’ describes Trump as cruel, inept and a danger to the nation In latest China pivot, Trump says partial trade deal might not be completed this year libadmin Nov 08	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3414

A Day in the Life of a Successful Activist Resources/Bibliography Resources / Biblio Dale Carnegie says: In talking with people, don’t begin by discussing the thing on which you differ. Begin by emphasizing—and keep on emphasizing—the things on which you agree. Keep emphasizing, if possible, that you are both striving for the same end and that your only difference is one of method and not of purpose. Most top salespeople and activists would agree: the key to effective persuasion is to emphasize your areas of commonality with the customer and downplay your areas of difference. This is particularly true when you have just met someone, and are just starting to build the all-important positive relationship that is the foundation of most sales. We tend to like, and listen to, those who seem to like us, and who appear to have lots in common with us. And we tend not to like, and not listen to, those who seem not to like us, or don’t seem to have much in common with us. That is a basic tenet of human nature—not to be confused with narrowness or bigotry—and it’s the activist’s job to build her strategy and tactics around it. Unfortunately, the Right has done this much better than the Left in recent years, with disastrous results for our country. In his excellent book What’s the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America (New York: Henry Holt and Co., 2004), Thomas Frank documents how conservative demagogues in his home state of Kansas convinced many middle-class and working-class voters to vote Republican even though doing so was clearly against their economic interests. The demagogues did it using a now-familiar bait-and-switch strategy: during their campaigns, they sold the voters on a “family values” platform attacking abortion or gays; then, once they were elected, they ignored those issues but passed regressive economic laws that penalized the masses of people who voted for them. This strategy is not unique to modern-day Kansas. The Republican Party has, in fact, worked diligently for decades to portray itself as representing the interests of ordinary people, even though its politicians invariably either derive from the economic elite or act on that elite’s behalf—Richard Nixon’s claim of speaking on behalf of a fictitious “silent majority” of U.S. voters being a classic example. By portraying themselves as representing the interests of ordinary people, conservatives are able to establish the positive relationship they need with the voters in order to sell them extreme and exploitative viewpoints. At the same time, as Frank and other writers5 have documented, and as I discussed in Part IV, Chapter 6, conservatives have worked for decades to paint a picture of progressives, and even centrist Democrats and Republicans, as being financially, morally or otherwise divorced from ordinary voters. The Republican Party’s demonizing of Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson as an “egghead” intellectual during the 1952 presidential campaign again serves as a good example—and, incidentally, it was Nixon himself, then the Republican candidate for vice president, who popularized the term “egghead” in reference to Stevenson. Through their demonizing, the Republicans create a gulf between Democrats and progressives and the people who logically should be voting for them. This sabotages the positive relationship that progressives need to establish with voters to make their “sale,” thus making that sales much more difficult, if not impossible. How the Left Sabotages Itself But it’s not just conservatives who widen the gulf between progressives and those whom they wish to influence, however. Progressives do it themselves. Every time a progressive… • Sees herself as smarter, more moral, more hip or otherwise better than her audience, or • Thinks in terms of “us versus them” . . . she widens the gulf between herself and those whom she is trying to influence. Here, too, we can learn from professional activists and salespeople, who not only work strenuously to uncover points of commonality with the customer, but also to minimize points of difference. In particular, they work hard not to see themselves—or, worse, to have the customer see them—as being fundamentally different from, or superior to, the customer. True, they may have information that the customer lacks, but that doesn’t mean that the customer is inferior in any way. We all have gaps in our knowledge and deficiencies in our perspective. Another way to say this is that professionals take the Key Insight discussed in Part IV, Chapter 8—that we have vast amounts in common even with people with whom we seriously disagree—seriously, and incorporate it as much as possible into their work. Professionals also place most people they meet somewhere along a spectrum that starts at “not too likely to buy my product (or viewpoint)” and moves on to “somewhat likely to buy my product,” “highly likely to buy my product,” and “extremely likely to buy my product,” before ending up at, “bought my product!” In other words, the pros don’t see the world in black-and-white (customer/not a customer), but in many shades of gray. Their goal, consequently, is not to convert customers all at once from “non-customer” to “customer”—an often impossible task—but to help customers move, one easy, non-threatening step at a time, along the spectrum. As a result, the number of people they can sell to is much larger than it might otherwise be, and they also make many more sales than they otherwise might. You would do well to follow the pros’ example in your own activism: i.e., to work to minimize the points of difference and increase the points of commonality between you and your audience; and also to consider everyone you meet to be a potential supporter.

A new bridge for Christmas? In a memo received from North Yorkshire County Council today it was revealed that the bridge damage on section C92 between Linton and Newton was more serious than first thought. Efforts to pile drive the new section required more work than initially anticipated, due to the extent of the damage incurred. The pile driving was completed on schedule at the end of October and it remains to compact the new surface and instate drainage to the affected section. However, despite these setbacks the works are expected to be completed by Christmas. Thankfully Santa’s preliminary trip to Linton Village Hall on Saturday 24th November before Christmas remains unaffected. A memo received from Santa has revealed that he will be arriving by Sleigh via the runway at R.A.F. Linton on Ouse, although with a reduced set of reindeer staff, as he warms them up on a rotational basis in preparation for what looks set to be a busy Christmas Eve. Read the memo from North Yorkshire County Council here. Many thanks to Nigel Smith at NYCC for the update. Parish Council Meeting Minutes – 9th October 2012 Linton Minutes 9th October 2012 Forthcoming Parish Council Meeting – 13th November 2012 to Brian Marston. Best wishes from all your friends in Linton on Ouse. If you’d like to post a birthday message for someone special in the village, please email admin@lintononouse.com with your request. LEST WE FORGET: October 21st saw a ceremony to mark the 70th anniversary of the loss of a plane & crew which took off from Linton during WW2, and crashed near the village of Montcony in Burgundy. A small group from the villages of Linton, Tholthorpe and RAF Linton on Ouse attended along with RAF representatives from 78 Squadron (RAF Benson) and RAF representatives serving in Germany. On 23rd October 1942 a Halifax bomber set off from Linton, for Northern Italy. It crashed just before 10pm in France, south of Dijon, on the edge of a small village called MONTCONY in the Bressane area of Burgundy. The crew of six British and two Canadians were all killed. This was in occupied France, mid way between two major Gestapo-held towns. The village schoolteacher, Henri Vincent, and others, assembled the bodies in the local school, found a Union Jack and laid them in state. Over 3,000 local people, including the Bishop of Autun, filed past the coffins before the funeral, which was held with great honour and dignity, despite opposition from the Vichy. Local children sang our National Anthem as the airmen were buried in Montcony’s churchyard. Reprisals by the Nazis soon followed – including clearing the area of all debris and parts of the plane, and preventing local girls who’d sung our National Anthem, from attending high school again. Many local people suffered in different ways. As a result, the French Resistance grew in that area, and although painful at the time, the fight for freedom which this started has been celebrated ever since. As they say: ‘Years Pass, but faithfulness remains’. October 21st saw a special ceremony in Montcony to mark the 70th anniversary of the loss of this plane & crew. As usual it drew crowds from a wide area and several hundred people were there. This year it started with a church service taken jointly by the local priest and the present deputy Bishop of Autun. The sight of the flags from the many local groups of the Resistance being carried into the small, packed, church to the strains of the SANCTUS from Carl Jenkin’s ‘Mass for Peace’ brought a lump to the throat. Bible readings in French and English marked the first time for many years that English had been heard in the church, and in the cemetery later the English National Anthem was sung again. Family friends of the co-pilot (Denis Teague) laid flowers and the Parish Council from Linton sent a wreath to be laid at the crash site with crosses for each of the eight graves. French tributes were laid on behalf of the government, the local mayor and the local district. On the wall of the local primary school there is a memorial to Henri Vincent, who went on to become a charismatic leader of the local Resistance; A cross was also laid there on behalf of Linton on Ouse village primary school. It was very moving to see the tribute of chrysanthemums laid jointly by two surviving Resistants who had served with him, one of whom went on to lead the group in Louhans and survived the concentration camp at Buchenwald. Next to Montcony’s school now is a memorial garden and children’s play area. A Yorkshire Rose was presented to the Mayor on behalf of the village of Linton, to be planted in the memorial garden. It is hoped to plant a ‘twin’ rose at the gates of RAF Linton on Ouse later Twinning arrangements are underway between the villages of Montcony and Linton, and contact between the local primary schools has been established. More than 50 locals from the Montcony area are planning to visit York and Linton next August.

Choose the operation by clicking on the symbol with the left mouse button. Math Solitaire Guide Math Solitaire is an imaginative and challenging game that combines card games, puzzle games and math games into one addictive game. The goal is fairly simple. You are given five cards at the top of the game screen. The first four cards are the cards you will be using to play the game. The fifth card is the target card. The goal here is to add, subtract, multiple and divide the first four cards from one another so the sum equals the target card. Each of the first four cards can only be used once but if you don't get the right answer, you can undo it simply by clicking where you made the mistake. Let's say you should have multiplied two cards and should have added them instead. Just click on the multiplication symbol connecting the two cards and choose the addition symbol instead. The rules are fairly simple although they sound a bit complicated. Once you play the game for a while you'll get used to how everything works so you can understand how to play the game a bit easier. Math Solitaire progresses slowly unlike many other online math games that require you to think fast and enter the solutions to equations at a rapid pace. Instead, this game requires you to think about your moves carefully and examine the best way to go about achieving your goal. For that reason, it is a very beneficial game for your children to play. It helps them familiarize themselves with the basic math operations and how to use them but it also requires them to use logic and problem solving skills. These are two very important things in math so helping your child strengthen those skills helps them perform better in math overall. The great thing about Math Solitaire is that it doesn't feel like an educational game while you're playing. This is one of the biggest benefits this game offers over most of the other math games online. Instead of feeling like they're studying, your kids will instead feel like they're playing a fun, exciting and interesting game. The benefit here is obvious. As your children's math skills improve, they'll improve in the game as well. This shows them that it is possible to learn and have fun at the same time which is a great lesson to teach your children in and of itself.

Growth in UK adspend held steady in Q3 after the June EU referendum, before reaching £5.8bn in Q4 2016, a rise of 3.9% year-on-year and the highest grossing quarter on record. Overall, after accounting for inflation, UK adspend topped its pre-recession peak for the first time during both the final quarter and for 2016 as a whole. Forecasts for the next two years indicate continued growth of 2.5% in 2017 and 3.3% in 2018. Digital formats continued to drive growth in 2016, with internet adspend up by 13.4% to £10.3bn, with mobile accounting for 99% of that growth. Mobile spend reached £3.9bn, with 86% of the current value of the mobile advertising market generated in just the past five years. “TV adspend, boosted by 12.6% growth in video-on-demand revenue, recorded a new high of £5.3bn in 2016” Digital accounted for 38% of the £1.1bn out of home advertising market in 2016, double the share digital recorded in 2012, while revenues from online ads were up for national newsbrands (+4.9% to GBP 230m) for the fifth year running. TV adspend, boosted by 12.6% growth in video-on-demand revenue, recorded a new high of £5.3bn in 2016, with TV’s share of overall spend holding steady at 25% over the last decade. Annual growth in adspend was also recorded for cinema (+8% to £257m) and radio (+5.4% to £646m) in 2016. Stephen Woodford, chief executive at the Advertising Association said: “Advertising has proved resilient to uncertainty and behind these numbers is a cutting edge, digital business in which Britain is a world-beater. As we work towards Brexit, we’re urging Government to support UK advertising and do more to unlock its potential to grow UK plc.” “The UK’s ad industry is experiencing the most seismic shift since WARC began monitoring in 1982” James McDonald, senior data analyst at WARC, said: “The UK’s ad industry is experiencing the most seismic shift since WARC began monitoring in 1982. Last year exemplified this, as over 95% of the new money entering the market came from digital formats. The trend will continue as ad tech improvesand consumers spend more time with their internet-connected devices.” The Advertising Association/WARC Expenditure Report is the definitive measure of advertising activity in the UK. “Total TV spend is expected to dip this year, before the losses are regained in 2018” It is the only source that uses advertising expenditure gathered from across the entire media landscape,rather than relying solely on estimated or modelled data. With total market and individual media data available quarterly from 1982, it is the most reliable picture of the industry and is widely used by advertisers, agencies, media owners and analysts. At-a-glance media summary, Q4 2016 – Internet adspend rose 15.3% during Q4 2016, pushing the full-year total above GBP 10bn for the first time. Mobile accounted for 99% of the new money entering the internet ad market last year. – Television adspend dipped 2.1% in the final quarter of 2016, though this was counter-balanced by rises earlier in the year, resulting in 0.2% growth for 2016 as a whole. Total TV spend is expected to dip this year, before the losses are regained in 2018. – Radio adspend rose 7.7% to a record-high level during the last three months of 2016, buoyed by the strongest growth in spot revenue since Q4 2014. Other than internet, radio was the only medium to gain share of total adspend in 2016 (+0.1pp vs. 2015).

__label__cc	0.539921	0.460079	MacBeth is a hexagonal variant of Othello. What's different? For one thing, it looks better! Othello or Reversi mode The diagram gives the initial position in Othello mode. In Reversi mode play starts on an empty board and the players first take turns to fill up the central hexagon. Disregarding rotations and reflections, there are three possible outcomes to start the actual game from. The rules from that point on are the same as in Othello mode. Black starts. Players must move on their turn, unless they cannot legally move. In that case the turn goes back to the opponent. If neither can move legally, the game ends. The players share 72 bi-colored stones - black one side, white the other. A move must be a 'custodian capture': the stone played must trap at least one opponent's stone or unbroken row of stones, between itself and an already present stone of like color. It can do so in up to four directions simultaneously. Captured stones are reversed immediately. Play MacBeth interactively or against an AI Note a peculiar difference with Othello, where a move may capture in no less than eight directions. Because MacBeth is hexagonal, its directions of capture are along straight lines only - not along diagonals. On top of that one main direction is excluded for every cell by the nature of the board. This makes MacBeth somewhat easier to handle: colors do not switch quite that dramatically. The game ends by one player's resignation or if both must pass on successive turns. The winner is now the player with the most territory, that is: the highest number of stones on the board. The starting point of all reasoning is obviously the fact that there are six corners with the same feature that is makes them so popular in Othello: a man on it cannot be captured and becomes an anchor to capture along the edges. The fact that corners are strong makes the adjacent cells weak, so these should be avoided. And so on: the basic reasoning is the same as in Othello, and 'minimal capture' - capturing as little as possible during the earlier stages, to reduce the opponent's options - also seems to apply. The finer points of strategy are admittedly no less of a mystery to me than those of Othello. Christian Freeling - Falco Freeling (The Pit 2008, 1-0) How I invented ...

Roy Burman The anthropological method did not exist the way we know today almost a century back. It was established through prolonged field data collection, as was established by Malinowski in the study of the Trobriand Islands in the Western Pacific. Almost a similar trend was followed through by Radcliffe Brown in the study of the Andaman Islands. The method entailed prolonged interaction between the researcher and the studied community—better known as the ‘Participant Observer’ method or the ‘Observer Participant Method’. Though there is merit in implementing this technique for ‘data’ collection, the danger of ethnocentric bias cannot be ruled out. This entailed some of the leading anthropologists from India to opt for the rapid ‘Cross Fire Interview’ method. This permitted hermeneutic handling of collected information better than the Participant Observer technique or for eliminating ethnocentric bias. In the last forty years of my career, I have lived in villages for short durations—not more than week at a stretch. Such endeavours allowed me look into crucial factors which sustained social solidarities bridged over conflict cartels. Epistemologically these ventures helped me to seek combinations of social dynamics based on structural functionalism and random flights of social conflicts. This approach has been delineated by scholars such as Max Gluckman and Andre Gunder Frank. Coser and Rosenberg too were closer to synthesising the two approaches. Initiation into the field of Anthropology MY orientation to the latter approach began with my sojourn to Madhya Pradesh, presently within the ambit of Chhattisgarh. It began with a quick look into the burial process of an old man belonging to Dudh Kawar tribe. The Dudh Kawars emphatically claim themselves to be Hindu. The village where I made this quick observation is named Lichirma, located about 50 kms off Bilaspur on the way to Ambikapur. This happens to be a forest zone and the tribe there is assigned to be junglemen thriving primarily on the food-gathering economy and fond of dwelling on penury— contented to sustain on the food-gathering economy. But this contention got blurred when I made a short visit to Guturma, another Dudh Kawar village bang opposite to Lichirma. I reached a home where the household members were busy negotiating with an outside contractor who was settling the price for the kendu or tendu leaf collected by the tribesmen. Tendu leaves are high on demand for the bidi-making industry. This totally counters the concept of tribals being largely a non-economic community depending on self- sustenance. This observation later became solidified after my observation of the Mahadeo Koli tribes of Pune district in Maharashtra. The Mahadeo Kolis inhabit by and large in mountainous forest zones. In spite of such areas of habitation, they thrive little on agricultural production and depend on collection and sale of hirda or myrobalan—a very expensive medicinal plant and ingredient of producing shoe polish. This practice is so popular among one of the most developed tribes of Maharashtra, where education is highly sought for and many of them work in cities like Mumbai and Pune. Tanaji, was a seniormost army general of Shivaji, the king and legendary hero of the Marathas. Tanaji was a Mahadeo Koli. Not very long back, Madhukar Rao Pitchard, a Mahadeo Koli person, was the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra under the aegis of Sharad Pawar, the Maratha strong man. Jayaba, the founder of the Jawhar principality, was not only a double-edged sword playing a bridge-buffer role between the sea coast and the hills or Western Ghats—looting and protecting the traders passing by, particularly the Nane Ghat pass. He was a Mahadeo Koli who joined hands with Shivaji while plundering the Surat port. Almost a similar kind of bridge-buffer diadic relation existed between the Tadvi Bhils and Vasabha Bhils, between the mountain passes of Khandesh and princely states of Gujarat bordering on Maharashtra. A similar bridge-buffer role existed between the Sherdukpens and Akas on the routes between Tawang and Tezpur in Arunachal Pradesh. While the Sherdukpens were long-distance traders between Barpeta in Assam and Tibet-Lhasa, the Akas demanded quit money from the traders. This type of relationship reflects the peripatetic life-style and trading relationship of various tribes in different locations in India. This analysis defies the common notion of tribes being sedentary and isolated. The notion of tribes being isolated and non-monetised is thus a myth of modernity. It should not be ignored that Alexander, the Great conqueror, was born at a tribal village of Mesopotamia in Yugoslavia. He and his troops traversed along distance land trade routes. The Bedouin tribesmen in Saudi Arabia and adjoining areas were first-class traders amidst the sand dunes and oases. The Sentinelese of Andaman Islands have been a conduit facilitating long distance trade between West Asia and South-East Asia along sea routes. Taimur Lung was another famous tribal king from Uzbekistan-Central Asia to invade India up to Delhi. He followed the age-old trade route crossing the Hindu Kush through the Himalayas. Sacred Groves and Dynamics WHEN dealing with the lives of the tribesmen, a very common notion among the scholars that emanates is the institution of “Sacred Groves”. The topic has come more into notice because of the crisis of environment witnessed globally—mainly in the Western hemisphere where the wooden plants disappeared long back due to rabid consumerism and wanton destruction of natural wealth, particularly the ozone layer caused by industrialisation and the carbon emission by aero flights. As a panacea the Western countries have been pressurising the Third World nations to limit their functional industries and grow and save trees. This strategy emphasised on the maintenance of sacred groves—patches of forests dedicated to deities. In general no part of the forest should be felled or even touched. The legend of the sacred grove of Nemi in Oslo is often referred to. According to legends, the sacred grove dedicated to the goddess Nemi is perpetually guarded by a king with a sword in hand. He guards against intruders who might break a bough of the plant and acquire a moral right to fight and dislodge him and become a new priest king. This thus results in constant pressure such that power does not remain consolidated in one hand and remains constantly shifting. The constantly shifting power in perpetuity leads to an anarchic formation. Ernest Gellner terms the process as revolution in revolution. Mao Zedong similarly tried to shift power from fixed hands in running the state or the nation-state of China. Colin Debray, a renowned Marxist scholar, named the system as “Revolution in Revolution”. Ernest Gellner too studied the system and branded this as “Revolution in the Sacred Groves”. Looking into the system of sacred groves from a political-economic approach as opposed to ecological determinism ultimately leads to the automatic understanding of the human race from the anarchic inclination. In my wide study of the sacred groves in various parts of the country I did not find any community to acknowledge that they maintain sacred groves for the sake of environment. The most common response has been that the groves reflect honouring the heritage and containing the natural beauty. This reflects the fulsome existence of the human race. Unfortunately, many different scholars from various parts of the world, knowingly or unconsciously, fall prey to the notion propagated by the Western view- point. The fact that sacred groves reflect social spaces more than physical entities gets ignored. One should not miss the point that there exist many sacred groves within the premises of state-managed reserved forests and sanctuaries. This manifests the perpetual race between the state-sponsored technical order and moral order of the people. Even when reserve forests and sanctuaries are fully under state control, the compartments are demarcated on the basis of traditional village demarcations. About thirty years back it came to the knowledge that two adjoining tribal villages, Mokas and Pendhermati, were having conflict over their boundary demarcation within the government forest and the case was referred to the Prant Office (Land Revenue Department) at Nandurbar in the Dhule district of Maharashtra. These types of conflicts are methodologically referred to as ‘proto-political relations’. The Sahrul puja in Ranchi city incorporates the worship of flowers and has environmental implications on the one hand and political impor-tance on the other. During this puja processions accompanied by music and beating of drums end at the sarna or the sacred grove. The activity acquired greater virility with the strengthening of the Jharkhand movement at the instance of local tribesmen. Unfortunately, this dimension of the puja is almost totally ignored endangering the very existence of the indigenous people located there. It is interesting to note that every Mahadeo Koli village in the Pune district has a boundary-level sacred grove which is located right within the border of the adjoining village. Apart from the boundary sacred grove each and every Koli settlement has a village-level tutelary deity-level (Gaon Devi) sacred grove which reinforces the territorial demarcation. Understanding this helps in the operation of village-level programmes. In the case of a village in Ambegaon taluka I saw a boundary-level deity having been declared as the tutelary deity. This instantly led me to conceive that there must have occurred shifts in the village territories. This was confirmed by the villagers as they informed that after a plague epidemic with the death of several people, many of the survivors shifted to the next village and the boundary deity was converted into a gaondevi or tutelary deity. A little more understanding of the dynamics of sacred groves can create wonders. The tutelary deity-level sacred grove dedicated to Bhairavnath has many thick and large ancient trees. Few of the villagers turning greedy tried to sell off the grove to some Muslim wood-cutters by bribing the priest in whose name the sanctuary was recorded. But the drive was called off at the instance of an NGO operating in the region. The NGO blamed mainly the Police Patil and some influential persons of the village. But after interviewing many villagers I realised that the matter was not as simple as the NGO had projected. It struck me as to how the priest could be offered just Rs 500 for such an expensive grove. All the more, how can the priest give a consent signature; morally speaking he could just be a custodian. A little more probing revealed that about 30 years back there was a land revenue record exercise in the village. Since the grove had no formal owner, villagers decided to put it under the name of the priest whom they could easily control. Otherwise, the state could have taken control over it. At a village called Kua in the Sindhdurg district of Maharashtra there is a sacred grove in Deoraiwadi. Though it is not very large, it has a thick vegetation. None of the villagers enter into the grove except for one night when everybody does so and clear off the leaf litter, twigs and branches. A similar round-shaped sacred grove, called Kaya, exists among the Mijikenda people in the eastern coast of Kenya. Very old villagers usually inhabit it. Politicians visit the grove when their boons are fulfilled. This apart, the villagers assemble within the grove when the society encounters any crisis and all the leaf litter and dirt are cleared up. The most important sacred grove I have witnessed is the one located at Kabi village about twenty kms north of Gangtok, the capital of the Sikkim State. The grove, which is about two hectares in size, is called Kabi Lonstalk. The grove commemorates the blood treaty signed by Khye Bumsa (the king of the Denzong tribe) and Thekok Tek, the Lepcha king. This treaty signifies the formation of the Sikkim kingdom. The environ-mental importance of the grove is rudimentary and the state sponsors the commemoration function every year. In this manner, the State of Sikkim asserts its supremacy. It is though legally within India, in moral terms it is a non-state entity where the moral order reigns supreme and religious rituals mark several state holidays. Anarchic Cliches NOT only does the state order to adopt anarchic positions, the system plays a significant role in the villages as well as cities and metropolises. There are various community-level centres of congregation where castes and communities regularly assemble and take up issues for their own upliftment. Many such organisations take up the function of sanitation and maintenance of parks and temples – the Bahai temples, for example. The Sikh gurudwaras too are famous for their altruism as they run ‘langars’ to feed the tourists and the disabled. But none can surpass the Christian missionaries. No wonder, they are so strongly rooted among the tribes of North-East India. They are famous for running schools, colleges, medical dispensaries and hospitals without much government interference. Death Knell of Anthropology and its Future Destiny IN spite of so many illustrations, anthropologists in India are far from realising the principles of anarchic order and are busy settling ridiculous propositions. For instance, Ajit Danda, a senior scholar, concluded that religious mendicants like Rajmohini Devi and Gahira Guru (based in Chhattisgarh) were instrumental in reinforcing national integration through their utterances and religious proclivities. In reality they were operating under the aegis of the Marwari business-men and contractors (mainly dealing with tendu leaves). In contrast, a reporter of The Statesman daily pinpointed the initiation of a Ram mandir at Barbil, a small tribal predominated town of Odisha as a mark of penetration of the monetary system among the tribes of a non-moneytised zone—a sign of neo-colonialism. No wonder, anthropology in India has almost vanished into the blue. Students are found withdrawing from their course after the first year, as seen in the case of the University of Pune in Maharashtra. Scholars from history, geography, economics and political science have filled the void created by anthropology and anthropologists. This is a good sign as well since a neo-colonial subject is wit-nessing its death knell. Funds for sponsoring studies on sacred groves too are drying up as a symptom. David Harvey, an anarchist scholar, delineates that the study of Anarchism is the only way to look for social realities in future. The funding should not be much of a problem if the communities become convinced of such social fecundities. This situation is bolstered by the appropriate use of hermeneutics involving both theory and practice.  Prof J.J. Roy Burman belongs to the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

__label__wiki	0.778779	0.778779	14:Fear Prayer Fear Prayer Volume 2, Book 14, Number 64: Narrated Shu'aib: I asked Az-Zuhri, "Did the Prophet ever offer the Fear Prayer?" Az-Zuhri said, "I was told by Salim that 'Abdullah bin Umar I had said, 'I took part in a holy battle with Allah's Apostle I in Najd. We faced the enemy and arranged ourselves in rows. Then Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) stood up to lead the prayer and one party stood to pray with him while the other faced the enemy. Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) and the former party bowed and performed two prostrations. Then that party left and took the place of those who had not prayed. Allah's Apostle prayed one Raka (with the latter) and performed two prostrations and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then everyone of them bowed once and performed two prostrations individually.' " Narrated Nafi': Ibn Umar said something similar to Mujahid's saying: Whenever (Muslims and non-Muslims) stand face to face in battle, the Muslims can pray while standing. Ibn Umar added, "The Prophet said, 'If the number of the enemy is greater than the Muslims, they can pray while standing or riding (individually).' " Once the Prophet (p.b.u.h) led the fear prayer and the people stood behind him. He said Takbir (Allahu-Akbar) and the people said the same. He bowed and some of them bowed. Then he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he stood for the second Raka and those who had prayed the first Raka left and guarded their brothers. The second party joined him and performed bowing and prostration with him. All the people were in prayer but they were guarding one another during the prayer. On the day of the Khandaq Umar came, cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not offered the 'Asr prayer and the sun has set." The Prophet replied, "By Allah! I too, have not offered the prayer yet. "The Prophet then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed the 'Asr prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it." Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr prayer when it was still dark, then he rode and said, 'Allah Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a nation, the most unfortunate is the morning of those who have been warned." The people came out into the streets saying, "Muhammad and his army." Allah's Apostle vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; the children and women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah's Apostle go who married her and her Mahr was her manumission.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3480
__label__wiki	0.543031	0.543031	Betting In 9ja Bet9ja Nairabet Betting Codes Become Betting Agent MyBets9ja 5 players who may have no future at Real Madrid if Antonio Conte takes over FC Barcelona v Real Madrid CF – La Liga Before Barcelona thrashed Real Madrid 5-1, the famous club had already suffered one of their worst ever starts to a season. The huge defeat to rivals Barcelona seemingly ended the reign of Julen Lopetegui after just months in charge, and reports have heavily suggested that Antonio Conte is about to be appointed as the new manager. Real Madrid have dominated Europe over the last five years, winning four Champions League trophies in that time. The Spanish club’s European dominance is now coming to an abrupt end, and an ageing team means that big changes in personal are likely in the next two transfer windows. Here are five of the players that we expect to see make way, as Antonio Conte put’s his own stamp on the club. #5 Lucas Vazquez Vazquez often features from the Madrid Bench It took Vazquez a number of years to finally breakthrough at his boyhood club. He features in almost every game, however it is nearly always from the bench. The 27-year-old is now at the age where he needs to play regularly, and Conte is likely to sign a number of high profile players that would further push the Spanish International down the pecking order. Both player and club would benefit from a break up. #4 Keylor Navas Navas has lost his place to Courtois Keylor Navas was an instrumental figure as Real Madrid won three consecutive Champions League titles. The Costa Rican was however replaced as number 1 by Thibaut Courtois over the summer, and his game time is now limited to cup competitions. Antonio Conte of course managed the Belgian at Chelsea, and the Italian repeatedly stated that the 26-year-old was among the best goalkeepers in the world. Due to the pairs past success together and their seemingly great relationship, Navas’ will likely be moved on to raise funds for new signings. #3 Karim Benzema Real Madrid v Viktoria Plzen – UEFA Champions League Group G Benzema was a favourite of both Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, however his future is in doubt now that both of these individuals have left. Antonio Conte will most likely want to spend big on a world class centre forward, and at the age of 30, Benzema is unlikely to want to play second fiddle. Benzema will likely continue to lead the line until the end of season, before finally ending his 10 year association with the club. #2 Nacho Nacho recently broke into the Spanish first team 28-year-old Nacho is among the most liked individuals in the Madrid dressing room, however he is still yet to become a regular starter in the Spanish capital. Nacho’s versatility is his greatest strength but Conte may seek defenders that are especially strong in one position. Nacho needs to keep playing in order to retain his team in the Spanish squad, so both parties may agree to go their separate ways in 2019. #1 Gareth Bale Gareth Bale has had a mixed start to the season Gareth Bale’s inclusion on this list is mainly due to him being the one player that Madrid could get the most money from selling. Although the Welshman has not completely lived up to expectations since his 2013 move, he is still among the best players at the club. The player will however turn 30 next summer, and it may be the final opportunity that Conte can sell him for a huge transfer fee. With a potential sale, the Italian would then be able to instruct the club to go out and target either Neymar or Eden Hazard, and one of these player’s would be the main man of Conte’s reign in Madrid. Let us know below who you think Antonio Conte will look to sell at Real Madrid.

__label__wiki	0.571717	0.571717	Christian Persecution – How to Petition Officials Who Have the Ability to Influence Public Policy Like many Orthodox Christians, you may be wondering about how to understand Christian Persecution and how to get involved. “The public is oblivious to what is going on in the birthplace of Christianity. It is horrifying; Martyrs are being made by the hundreds every day”, said one concerned Orthodox Christian. The Christians Right and Freedom Ministry of St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church (Naples, Florida) has created sample petitions that you can use to contact government officials. We urge you to get involved by using the petitions below. Sample Petitions “WE PETITION TO (insert name (for example Senators, Representatives, The Obama Administration)): Support Religious Freedom for the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) Policies of Turkish government pose a grave threat to the future of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the spiritual home of 250 million Orthodox Christians worldwide and the 269th direct successor of the Apostle Andrew. Only stronger American and European Union support for the religious freedom of the Ecumenical Patriarchate can prevent a religious tragedy of historic magnitude. Turkey must understand America’s close ties to the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the importance we attach to its welfare. In doing so, we hope you can help Turkey realize our strong desire that the Ecumenical Patriarchate be accorded the religious freedom it deserves and persuade Turkey to abandon policies that will lead to the disappearance of this Sacred See. (Insert Your Name) Sustain Christianity in the Middle East The brutal murders of twenty-one Coptic Christians by the so-called Islamic State in Libya are grim reminders of the reality of religious persecution in the Middle East. In a Joint Declaration, His Holiness Pope Francis and His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew expressed their common concern. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians and Iraqis, including Christians, Yezidis and Muslims, have fled the terror of the “Islamic State” and their homes. They arrive often with only the clothes on their backs. We urge our government to provide both protection and more humanitarian assistance. Attacks on religious and ethnic minorities are attacks on the health of an entire society. Violence may begin against minorities, but it often does not end there. The rights of all Syrians, Iraqis, Libyans and others in the region are at risk from the current situation. Our nation must do more.

The following 7 steps can assist you in ‘Uplifting Christ and Witnessing for Our Faith in the Face of Radical Extremism. 1. Preserve Our Christian Identity Align our minds and hearts with God’s calling. See Christ in others. Glorify God daily; PRAY, fast & give alms. Identify empathetically with the plight of persecuted Christians of the world. 2. Organize Ourselves for Success Establish Christian Rights and Freedom ministries in communities throughout America. Do you belong to one? Organize local events & initiatives to educate, advocate, defend & counteract the antagonists of our faith. 3. Educate Ourselves and Others ’Know Ourselves’ – Study our history, faith & culture Develop clear policy positions so the public knows where we stand. Expose misinformation to the light of truth. 4. Dialogue with the Public Network with people concerned about the rise of Islamofascism. Boycott producers of products that may be underwriting radical extremism & terrorism, such as oil produced by certain member states. Advocate for energy self-sufficiency for America, and alternative energy sourcing options. Advocate withholding foreign aid and military assistance to countries that are not aligned with our national interests. 5. Stand Up for Ourselves Establish “Anti-Defamation Teams’ to challenge offensive remarks. Petition officials who have the ability to influence public policy. Advocate for economic sanctions; exercise our freedom of assembly. 6. Invest in the Cause Donate to organizations that help the oppressed and promote the preservation of Western culture and values. Fund infrastructure & activities that advance the cause of Christian Rights & Freedom 7.

People focusing too much on themselves and the building of wealth, instead of interest for the community and the country 提支法China needs to teach people in these countries how to go about managing certain issues, such as ensuring good government, how to prevent corruption, and how to focus on development in a sustainable way with clear end goals问不为何China's five-year plans provide a purpose and focus, and any developing country needs such plans to have a long-term future紧枪Taxi drivers are always happy to talk about lots of different topics新西Do you believe some of China's experiences or practices could be used to solve pressing global problems? Many countries are in the position China was 40 years ago, and the lessons learned here in China are certainly appropriate for them兰总理答理解To see that happening and to be a part of it in my own little way is very special 美记美国没收In terms of challenges in the field of science, environmental damage and sustainability would be core issues提支法What three words would you use to describe China? Unified, together, vision问不为何It highlighted "more tangible" and "acute" challenges and destabilizing factors 紧枪The legislation provides greater flexibility, responsiveness, and interoperability for

self-defense新西This will empower Japan to be an active player at the region and global stages兰总理答理解The white paper, the first after Japan's security legislation went into effect in March, played up the so-called "gray zone" situations, or neither pure peacetime nor contingencies over territory, sovereignty and economic interests美记美国没收In its 2016 defense white paper, Japan interferes in the South China Sea The white paper served as an implementation scheme for the controversial security bills that enable Japan's Self-Defense Forces to play a more comprehensive global military role and allow implementation of the new US and Japan alliance guidelinesIt made irresponsible accusations against China, claiming that China continues to act in an "assertive" manner, including attempts at changing the status quo by coercion cn]On August 2, Japanese government approved this year's version of defense white paper, which described the security environment surrounding the country "increasingly severe"China's "dangerous acts" in the South China Sea and East China Sea could cause unintended consequences(To overblow Chinese ship's entry, Japan's foreign ministry summoned Chinese Ambassador to Japan Cheng Yonghua in the tee hours of that day, and lodged a protest)Refusing to have a territorial dispute in the East China Sea, Japan is unlikely to talk with China over its settlement, leaving the waters near the islands a minefield The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer Hatakaze quickly followed them into that areaIn response to the Hatakaze's entry, the Chinese Jiangkai I-class frigate rushed into the waters, according to the Japanese weekly Nikkei Asian ReviewHiding the first part of the episode, the white paper criticized China for its frigate's entry into Japan's "contiguous" zone near the disputed islets in the East China SeaOn June 8, three Russian naval ships entered the waters close to the Diaoyu Islands The defense legislation eliminates geographic constraints by substituting a situational threshold (situations that "gravely affect the peace and stability of Japan") rather than limiting support to "situations in areas surrounding Japan"Iowa's ties with China had already shown signs of increasing Even though Iowa is best known for its agricultural products and services, Reynolds said that advanced manufacturing is "actually the largest sector of our GDPReynolds said last month when announcing the trip that "there is no better time than now to market and pitch our products in China "We believe as a united Iowa agricultural delegation, we can find opportunities that are beneficial to both China and Iowa," Reynolds saidAccording to Allen Williams, the business development manager at the Iowa Economic Development Authority, the state has had more inquiries from China in recent months than in the previous two or three yearsOur relationship with the country is strong, and their growing middle class means increasing purchasing power, and Iowa stands to gain significantly as a resultUS beef had been banned from China since 2003 due to a mad cow disease scare" When Branstad was receiving a Chinese trade

representing the state's major agricultural producersReynolds, who succeeded Terry Branstad as governor when he became the US ambassador to China on May 22, noted that agricultural "is the backbone of Iowa's economy and contributes about $112 billion to our economy annually" "Relationships are especially important in China, and we are fortunate that Governor Branstad welcomed a then local agricultural official from China over 30 years ago into Iowa named Xi Jinping, who is now the nation's president," said ReynoldsLast year, nearly $6 billion worth of US pork was exported to China, including more than $1 billion from Iowa "We will have representatives from our corn, soybean, beef, egg, poultry, dairy and turkey sectors seeking an opportunity to expand their footprint in China as the country's middle class grows," Reynolds said of the 10-day trip, which began on WednesdayHis wish came true on June 30 in Beijing when Branstad had prime rib from Nebraska to celebrate the return of US beef to China after 13 years It detailed how one particular photograph in the series depicted the daughter of the famous Chinese statesman, Zeng GuofanThe story about a collection of rare photographs of Beijing from the late 1800s, on show in London's Chinatown, included a number of images from the exhibit - one of which set Watt back on his heelsThe article explained how British photographer, Thomas Child, who had moved to China as an engineer, captured marriage ceremonies during the late Qing dynasty - which spanned from 1644 to 1912"The display of Child's work at the China Exchange, an organization in London, was the first time US-based collector, Stephan Loewentheil, had shared the original images of life during the Qing dynasty in Peking, now known as Beijing "The family rose in importance in Shanghai from the late Qing dynasty into the twentieth century and went through more than 70 years of ups and downs until 1950," he saidWhile Watt's reaction to the never-before-seen photographs was by far the most compelling, the exhibition in Soho's Gerrard Street attracted worldwide attention, making headlines in the UK, the US, Europe and China "The success of the show reflected the increasing global interest in China's people and culture, as well as the interest of the people of China in preserving and studying their own history," said Loewentheil, who's Historical Photography of China Collection is the largest holding of late Qing dynasty photographs of China in private hands"My great, great grandfather was Zeng Guofan," Watt said 澳门皇冠体育The 79-year-old never expected when he was browsing the internet that day that he would uncover a piece of family history dating back some 140 years"It was a picture I had never seen before and my instinct told me that the subjects could be my great grandparents," he told China Daily According to Watt, the unique wedding photograph documents the moment of the start of the prominent Nie family in China"The groom, Nie Jigui, served as Shanghai's Governor from 1890 to 1893, died in 1911 and was buried in Hunan, while the bride, Zeng Jifen, died in 1942 and was buried in ShanghaiNot to mention, in an exhibition some 3,500 miles away from where he livedPortrait of a womanWhen New York-based Raymond Watt came across an article on the BBC news website about a Chinese photography exhibition in the UK last November, he was shocked, to say the least "Today, Beijing is a vastly different place and the early photographs presented a perspective on the city which had never been

Now in its eighth year, the music and arts festival will feature performances from Jill Scott, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, and a farewell show from Yasiin Bey (Mos Def). In 2015, Scott released her soulful, fifth studio effort Woman — home to the Grammy-nominated single “Can’t Wait.” Reggae star Marley will also be dropping his forthcoming album Stony Hill, due on July 21, which also marks his 39th birthday. As for Bey, this rare performance comes after last year’s passport incident where the rapper/actor was not permitted to leave South Africa until last November. In January 2016, close friend and collaborator Kanye West shared a message from Bey, where he revealed he would be “retiring from the music recording industry.” Other acts for the one-day festival, landing at the Lakewood Amphitheatre on Sept. 9 will include Sean Paul, Jidenna, Kaytranada, Too $hort, Tank and the Bangas. The kickoff celebration will take place on Friday, Sept. 8, with sets from Thundercat, J.I.D., Ari Lennox and Noname at the Tabernacle Atlanta.

__label__wiki	0.80407	0.80407	Robotics has its first unicorn – small SF startup Cruise Automation Posted: March 17, 2016 March 18, 2016 by Andra Forget about Google and Boston Dynamics. This week the real news is that GM acquired small San Francisco based startup Cruise Automation for a rumored “north of $1 billion”, according to Fortune. Robotics has its first unicorn! For the last 3 years, Cruise Automation has been working on an ‘after market’ kit to make vehicles self driving. Cruise have previously raised over $18 million in venture funding, on a post-money $90 million valuation. Investors include YCombinator, Spark Capital, Maven Ventures and Founder Collective. Apparently Cruise was in discussion with GM about their next venture round which turned into an acquisition. It would seem that GM is interested less in the after market kit and more in integrating the Cruise team into GM’s core technology development. According to the press release, Cruise will operate as an independent unit within GM’s recently formed Autonomous Vehicle Development Team led by Doug Parks, GM vice president of autonomous technology and vehicle execution, and will continue to be based in San Francisco, where Cruise has been testing its technology in a challenging city environment. “Cruise provides our company with a unique technology advantage that is unmatched in our industry. We intend to invest significantly to further grow the talent base and capabilities already established by the Cruise team.” said Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. “GM’s commitment to autonomous vehicles is inspiring, deliberate, and completely in line with our vision to make transportation safer and more accessible,” said Kyle Vogt, founder of Cruise Automation. “We are excited to be partnering with GM and believe this is a ground-breaking and necessary step toward rapidly commercializing autonomous vehicle technology.” So the acquisition of Cruise is GM’s latest step toward its goal of “redefining the future of personal mobility”. Since the beginning of the year, GM has entered into a strategic alliance with ride-sharing company Lyft; formed Maven, its personal mobility brand for car-sharing fleets in many U.S. cities, and established a separate unit for autonomous vehicle development. But really the exciting thing for everyone else is that robotics has finally reached the tipping point. In 2014, Silicon Valley Robotics announced that over $1 billion had been invested in robotics in the last 5 years, 2009 to 2014. In 2015, over $1 billion was invested in robotics in a 12 month period, according to Hizook. And in 2016, over $1 billion has just been invested in one single small robotics startup, Cruise Automation. Robotics has its first real unicorn, joining our lonely decacorn! Because to be fair, Intuitive Surgical founded in 1995 and IPOd in 2000 for a market valuation of $21.5 billion. Category: Cool Stuff, Startups	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3506

Titled “Worlds Finest,” the hour sees titular heroine Kara (Melissa Benoist) gain a new ally when the lightning-fast superhero The Flash, aka Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) suddenly appears from an alternate universe. Barry helps Kara battle Silver Banshee, aka Siobhan Smythe (Italia Ricci), and Livewire (Brit Morgan) in exchange for her help in finding a way to return him home. The Scarlet Speedster already has some experience with alternate universes, having paid a visit to Earth-2 — another version of our world, albeit with some striking differences — in Season 2 of the CW series. During that trip, “The Flash” teed up the impending crossover by including a shot of Benoist’s Supergirl while Barry traveled through the breach between worlds, hinting at a larger DC Comics multiverse that offered endless possibilities on infinite Earths. While Supergirl and Superman don’t exist on Barry’s Earth-1 — which is set in a continuity known as the “Arrowverse,” since it encompasses all of thesuperhero shows spawned by The CW’s “Arrow,”including “The Flash,” “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” and animated series “Vixen” — Barry’s ability to travel through time and space means that he’s capable of paying a visit to other DC Comics-based shows (even on other networks) without disrupting anyone’s reality. Check out CBS’ newly-released poster for the crossover episode below, which is an homage to DC’s “Superman” issue 199, which saw a race between The Flash and Kara’s cousin, the Man of Steel.

Soc., 444, 1919-1929 (2014/October-3) How to detect the signatures of self-gravitating circumstellar discs with the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array. DIPIERRO G., LODATO G., TESTI L. and DE GREGORIO MONSALVO I. Abstract (from CDS): In this paper, we present simulated Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of self-gravitating circumstellar discs with different properties in size, mass and inclination, located in four of the most extensively studied and surveyed star-forming regions. Starting from a smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation and representative dust opacities, we have initially constructed maps of the expected emission at sub-mm wavelengths of a large sample of discs with different properties. We have then simulated realistic observations of discs as they may appear with ALMA using the Common Astronomy Software Application ALMA simulator. We find that, with a proper combination of antenna configuration and integration time, the spiral structure characteristic of self-gravitating discs is readily detectable by ALMA over a wide range of wavelengths at distances comparable to TW Hydrae ( ∼ 50pc), Taurus-Auriga and Ophiucus ( ∼ 140pc) star-forming regions. However, for discs located in Orion complex ( ∼ 400pc) only the largest discs in our sample (outer radius of 100 au) show a spatially resolved structure while the smaller ones (outer radius of 25 au) are characterized by a spiral structure that is not conclusively detectable with ALMA.

GUESTLIST RECOMMENDS HUXLEY For those who want to rave all day and all night, the "Mid Summer 2 Part Outdoor and Indoor" bank holiday rave is for you. IN THE FIRST week of June, Cozzy D and Alexis Raphael bring you Crèche, 'A Sunday party with a forward thinking eclectic music policy ethos'. Marc "MK" Kinchen headlines the show, a producer and DJ with a wealth of experience who, in his career, has to. Fellow American and Hot Creations la- bel owner, Lee Foss, will also be stepping up to the decks. A DJ who has made a huge impact on the underground house and techno scene over the last few years, he has been described as "one of the most talented new forces in modern dance music today". Together with partner Jaime Jones, the duo is respon- sible for a family of like-minded producers who are taking house music to the next level. Part of that family is none other than Danny Daze. A year on from the huge release of "Your Ev- erything" on Hot Creations, Danny can be caught at Crèche this coming bank holiday. The outdoor party starts Sunday midday until 10:30pm. Part two takes the party inside and con- tinues until 4am on the Monday. For the best in forward thinking house and techno this is your gonna write home about! Huxley, born Michael Dodman, is a name that has quickly risen to the upper echelons of the generally overpopulated house scene in the last couple of years. Mixing the flavours of UK and US Garage, House and early rave music into a pastiche of upfront and energetic dance music, Huxley has already created quite a reputation for himself as a premier producer. One of the UK's finest taste-making labels of the minute, Hypercolour, which has championed the in-vogue sounds of Maya Jane Coles, jozif and Kevin McPhee, is the latest to pick up on Huxley's talent, releasing track Let You Go back in February, with a militant remix from Eats Everything on the flip. Let You Go beautifully epitomises Huxley's sound, set to a 4x4 house beat but with the manipulation of a looped vocal sample that automatically harks back to the champagne bubbly era of UK Garage in the late '90s. Having recently co-formed his own label with Jimmy Posters – Saints & Sonnets – 2012 is set to be another huge year for Huxley as he delves into the world of A&R while looking to stay at the top of his production game. There's plenty more to come from this invigorating new virtuoso! http://soundcloud.com/huxley_uk TJ Kong & Modular K TOUR SCHEDULE : JULIO BASHMORE 11th May @ Southport Weekender, Minehead 12th May @ Digital, Brighton 1st June @ Stealth, Nottingham 2nd June @ Field Day, London The veteran-rookie pairing is a lucrative match for Poker Flat. Under his early moniker max 404, TJ Kong was not only one of the first to champion the sounds of techno in Holland during the early nineties but also became one of the origi- nal producers attributed with establishing the Eindhoven style of the now world-famous genre. On the other hand, Modular K is relatively unheard of, his only previous release being a collaboration with TJ Kong on Steve Bug's Poker Flat Recordings in 2011. An interesting pairing of vet- eran and rookie then, but one that has just delivered an in- credibly mature and emotive album of deep house, dub techno and ambience in their new long-player Flat, Dream Cargoes. Blend- ing warm, soothing chords and a persistently comfort- ing bassline with the analog sounds of the cosmos in title track Dream Cargoes provides a thoroughly therapeutic ex- perience that is repeated in various forms throughout the album. The record is on the whole a blissfully melodic and compellingly laidback collec- tion of house tracks that have reignited the reputation of Steve Bug's classic label with this exciting new collaboration. for Poker 10th June @ Parklife, Manchester 15th June @ Golden Down Festival, Winchester 16th June @ Sonar, Barcelona 24th June @ Space, Ibiza 30th June @ Hideout, Pag Bristol born Julio Bashmore has hit the music world in a big way in the past few years. People have struggled to categorise Julio's music into a specific genre, as his music is just that far ahead of many of his peers. With releases on the highly influential Dirtybird, PMR and Futureboogie labels, tunes such as 'Battle For Middle You' and 'Ensnare' have left a huge stamp in the world of deep house. Now as a guest on BBC Radio 1's 'In New DJ's We Trust' Julio Bashmore is guaranteed to play a set to remember if you get the chance to see him DJ.

__label__wiki	0.597711	0.597711	DIAMONDS SNAP UP SMETANA, SKORJA NEWCASTLE will have two newcomers to British speedway in their ranks next season. The Diamonds have signed Czech Republic rider Ondrej Smetana (pictured) and the Slovenian Nick Skorja. The pair join Claus Vissing, Matt Wethers, James Wright, Max Clegg and Connor Mountain to complete the Newcastle one-to-seven. Co-promoter George English said: “The additions of Ondrej and Nick have completed what I consider to be a very exciting seven to represent the side in our 91st anniversary season. “While many will not have heard of our final two, they both come with great recommendations and huge potential to take the UK by storm. “Ondrej is associated with our former Czech star George Stancl, so will have plenty of insider information on how to race Brough Park from one of the best round our track, while Nick has had a full Grand Prix under his belt as a wild card, as well as three others as a reserve, so again he knows what he's doing on a speedway bike.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3534

K is for Kit Figures News, Views Etc...Plastic Warrior No.164 Last post for Halloween, and the earlier unpainted issue of Yolanda's Monster set, again Gog has also blogged these images, with additional poses, so there'll be a link at the end. A rather nice Wolfman and a figure which troubles me; Jack the 'Ripper', although popularised in the media (and look what populism does for people - Trumpton and the Brexiteers!), he was actually a real character, who got his 'nickname' for doing unspeakable things to young women, there's no place for a character like that in a toy-line, is there? Is it just me or has a line been crossed there? We're on safer ground with a white bed-sheet and another Fly; you can never have too many flies, except at a picnic, more that no flies is too many at a picnic! The Dracula definitely needs painting, without paint he looks a bit daft, while the ape from the Planet of Them looks just as good unpainted as the painted one did, but begs a professional paint-job! We've seen these recently, one (zombie) a couple of hours ago, the other (pirate) just over a month ago and that's it for Halloween this year - unless I was lucky on Satyrday at the Toysaurus! Link to Gog's article; http://toysfromthepast.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/258-yolanda-super-monstruos-standard.html I think I've said before I'm no fan of Halloween, but if you're celebrating it, have fun in what's left of it (the Devil needs those vibes!), and thanks to Juan Angel and Brian Berke for the contents of today's posts. Labels: 110mm, Contribution, Fantasy, Halloween, M, Make; Spain, Plymr - Vinyl/PVC, Seasonal, TV/Movie, Yolanda So, I've cobbled together four posts for Halloween, all due to donations/contributions from other people, but this and the next post - last today - raise a point for comment . . . . . . Juan Angel (known to most of you as 'Gog', the vintage Spanish toy Blogger) sent me these in conversation ages ago 2009/2010 (?), and I just stuck them in the A-Z archive and rather forgot about them. Found them a while ago and thought: "Ahh! I could use that Pirate on TLAPD", permissions were sought and the figure was Blogged with a plan for these two posts. So far so good, but, as we saw with the Preiser Band, I have quite a bit of this type of contribution in the archive, I've always sort of assumed if someone sends me something in a private eMail, it's private! Now, some people send stuff specifically stating it's to blog, and it get's Blogged, but a lot of it hasn't been, so . . . if you have sent me something (since 2008) by way of an image or images over the years and you expected it to appear on the Blog and it hasn't, LET ME KNOW! Remember; I'm a scatty-git at the best of times and with the Asperger's have two excuses! But, if it was more that about 18-months ago you may need to resend it, trying to find the originals I've found Hotmail stops storing them after a while? And all contributions are gratefully received - weather they are intended for Blogging or not, whether they get Blogged or not; it's only through wider dissemination that the whole picture gets clearer. Anyway - onwards and upwards . . . Gog has now blogged these and I'll put a link back at the end of each post, so just for fun with minimum blurb: the Yolanda Monsters; in this case painted, I'll schedule the unpainted set for a couple of hours time. These are actually a really nice set of figures, and I agree with Gog, almost better painted. It's an eclectic set of mostly TV/Movie-related monsters of popular characters from fiction or the big-screen, here we have The Hunchback of Notre Dame (that's darhm not daym, guys!) and Death, good old death, comes for all of us so learn to love him! The Fly, a very movie-based figure, and expertly sculpted I think? The other lady - called 'Vampiresa' on the original sheet - could be a generic vampire, or a more specific Elvira, Vamparella or Countess Bathory type? The Phantom of the Opera is another from popular culture, but my favorite has to be the ape from the Planet of Them! It's really good and he looks fine next to the old MPC (and Larami?) stuff, some of which was Blogged the other day over on Plaid Stallions if he wasn't a tad bigger, these figures are around 110mm or just over 4" The Devil and a witch; the Devil is probably the weakest sculpt in this line-up, he looks a bit comedic, and she's hamming-it up a bit, but neither are common figures in these scales Painted versus unpainted - "He lives!" - There's more after the link-jump and further links are there to other articles - bookmark it! http://toysfromthepast.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/123-yolanda-super-monstruos-serie.html Labels: 110mm, Blind Bags, Contribution, Fantasy, Halloween, Make; Spain, Plymr - Vinyl/PVC, Seasonal, TV/Movie, Yolanda Also from Brian Berke, and again, we've nothing similar here, or at least not down the poncy, soft, south we haven't! I do wonder if discount stores in the cities, or further north might carry more figural stuff, but the closest to these I've found are very crude, larger (6"-plus), ethylene, semi-flat, skeletons which even I wouldn't give house-room to, and let's face it, I'm not that fussy; some of the crud I've accumulated! I would add that I haven't managed to get to the Toysaurus for a while; they might have something more useful? Brian set these a while ago, and I've sat on them patiently until today, they are a sort of silicon rubber, but - like a lots of materials these days - has a foamy consistency (which is part of a drive to make materials go further for less I think?), so very lightweight and rather squiggly! In some photographs Brian sent for/during Rack Toy Month, there was one with the same Spooky Village branded CVS Pharmacy's bats in the background, so I cropped it out! I could also see a 12-count bag of snakes in another shot. The other set was sent by Brian only a few days ago with some photo's I've ummed-&-ahrred about, but won't blog, they're a little 'off the wall' for the blog (bloody body parts! Very bloddy!). However these are brilliant! Paratroopers! Skeletons! What's not to like here? Brian suggested that because they were Amscan, they should be this side of the pond as well and they should, but I can't find them, has anyone seen them here? maybe Amscan (UK) will carry them next year? I have seen sets of six warriors which look very similar, like the footballing aliens? I will try to get over to the Toysaurus on Satyrday (that's as close to Halloween as I go, not a typo!), which will be two days ago when this publishes, and if I find anything it'll either get Blogged later today, or in a year's time! Labels: 1:Mixed Scales, Amscan, Carded, China, Contribution, CVS Pharmacy, D, Fantasy, Halloween, Make; USA, Novelty, Parachute Toy, Plymr - Vinyl/PVC, Seasonal Except these aren't Fingerbobs, they're more accurately 'Finger Frights'! Courtesy of Brian Berke who lives in the land of Halloween. Although it is increasingly 'popular' over here, pushed by retailers who want to sell as much plastic crap as possible to as many people as possible, inventing a whole new level of mediocre utilitarian 'Bread & Circus' joy; the racks of costumes hanging in Wilkinson's at the moment like an abstract installation artwork claiming to represent 'Fast and Furious 15'; that's as far as we've got, buckets, big bags of sugary sweets, the odd bit of netting with spiders stapled to it and lots of costumes - which will mostly be in landfill this time next week, which leaves the Chinese manufacturers' laughing all the way to the bank! But in the land of Halloween, they've honed the experience for far longer, and have issued various things to interest figure collectors: cake decorations, pencil-tops, carded figural 'treats' and other stuff, although it mostly seems to be 'vintage' these days, however Brian did find a few new items across the pond, well worth blogging, and these are among them. For those struggling with my hand signals, I should point out that the one on the left is called the Trumpton and the one on the right is the Farage-rymes-with-Garage! Taken together it's also four in Roman numerals, as there's clearly only three of them, we have a clue as to the failure of that empire; stupid system of writing maths! I like these, they’re fun! Imported into the US and Canada by the Greenbrier/DTSC partnership we've seen before, a clue to Jaru being in the background, somewhere, maybe. If it wasn't for the date and the nature of the subject matter, they would be a Christmas novelty-post thing! Which raises the question as to why supposedly Christian countries have such a thing as Halloween? Don't all those Lear jet-owning TV evangelists have something to say about it - doing Satan's work for him &etc.? Labels: 1:No scale, Carded, Contribution, DTSC, F, Fantasy, Finger Puppets, Greenbriar, Halloween, Make; China, Make; USA, Novelty, Plymr - Vinyl/PVC, Seasonal But not as small as the Noch N-gauge cats and dogs, or some of Preiser's own birds! A lovely little set this; I can't remember where I got it but it appears mint, and it has the new numbering. You can't possibly collect everything by a company like this so I used to just hoover it up when it was cheap, or I had more 'disposable wealth'! Usually at shows or auctions, often as bulk lots. Obviously meant - like most of the animal sets - for the circus dioramists/collectors, these could be caged in one of the trailers as part of the day-time visitors 'mini zoo' outside the big top, or they could be arranged to clown with the err . . . clowns, or do a tea-party thing - which would involve throwing cups of water and banana sandwiches around, not a right-wing push (putsch?) against democracy in the 1770's . . . or 20-teens! "I claim this piece of Jungle for the Great White Queen Bonobo"! Said Victorian Chimp after the musket smoke had cleared . . . as he stabbed a still groaning local with the flag-pole he had brought along specifically for the claiming of stuff. I can take the piss out of my lot too, all humans are pretty vile, incapable of improving much beyond the point we're at now, and why should we? We're only dumb, curious monkeys! I clearly need an extra hours sleep - looks at calendar . . . WTF! Missed it! Labels: 1:87 - HO, Airfix, Animals, Boxed, Civilian, HO - OO, Make; German, Plymr - Styrene, Preiser, V, Zoo We come to arguably the most problematical set - for collectors - in the entire Preiser catalogue oeuvre, past, present and - I suspect - future. It is also by far and away the most useful set for war-gamers, small scale modellers, scratch-builders, dioramists and railway enthusiasts. Preiser Artikal Numer 327 - Ländliche Gruppen. Gespanne (Rural Groups [and] Wagons), now listed as: Art.No.16327, contains . . . well, that's where the problem starts, and remains; it seems it contains whatever anyone at the factory feels like putting in it! But there is order to the madness . . . let's have a look . . . The box-fronts from my two sets, I used to think the one on the right was the newer, but now I'm not so sure, although if wagon-wheel size is a guide, the older is on the left, suffice to say that for now and in relationship to the tables used later in the post 'My 1' is on the left here; 'My 2' is on the right. The first thing to note is that the set on the left claims to contain 3x the milkmaid from the 'At the Mill' runner/vignette when in fact it only contained the one, indeed neither of my samples have extra milkmaids, but one of them is suspect as it was loose when it came in. The other point is the inclusion of the 'Washing Day' runner/vignette in the second box's line-up Contents of one is described as 60 figures (no set yet encountered has a 60 figure count), 40 accessories and three wagon kits. The other set just states 120 pieces, with pictures that include an unrelated cement-tower/railway trackside scene. The backs of the two boxes - again; 'My 1' is on the left. The illustrations on the box are mostly the contents of the box, with the mock-up wagon we looked at the other day, but the number of sheep can only be obtained with another set, again: that we saw the other day. While the other box only has one image on the back pertaining to set 327 among all the railway and military scenes; advertising itself (327) with the cow family, but 327's only ever have a part of that family. Of note is the "Subject to alterations in assortment, shape and colours" message on the older (?) box, that's the cover-all for the rest of this post! The ends of both; 'My 2' is the lower, both repeat all the points raised above. Now 'My 1' gets the inaccurate cow shot, repeated on the other box with another rail scene. So a mixed message from my boxes, while the newer box on Plastic Soldier Review (PSR) seems to be an update of 'My 1' with different graphic panels, now describing 60 figures and 43 accessories (why so specific?), while showing the [old] large wheels on the buggy by using the artwork from my earlier set. Figures have lost the little numbers underneath on the artwork as well. My 1; If you count all the animals including those from the 'wagon kits', all three suckling pigs, both packs, the feed-bucket and the held-child, you get 41, not 60. If you count all the unmade accessories on the three fencing/accessory runners and the bundle of wire you get a count of around 78, not 60? You can make it 60 by tweaking stuff, likewise you can make 120, by counting fences made, but wagon springs, or axles separately &etc. until you go potty in the head, but basically, there is little relationship between the box descriptions and the contents, other than most of the stuff illustrated on 'My 1' is there in the box! The catalogue image that ran through the early catalogues which covers the period of both my sets, like mine it has half the large animal set, but with a foal and calf, there is no hint of the fencing runners, but the water-pump/trough is there so at least one runner must have been present, with the gate and gate hinges? [See below]. This set/advert (?) has the extra shepherd which requires breaking a runner and two extra milkmaids - likewise. It has the same three wagons as both of mine, which we will come back to below. The current layout in the catalogue is a fuller picture, not in comparison to box contents per se, just that it has more in it - as a line-up! An extra wagon (also seen in PSR's example) is the obvious addition along with a (new design?) tall-post water-pump, extra calf, more cattle, more tools, an extra draft horse and the +1 shepherd. The low water-pump and trough also seems to have been redesigned to a longer, more slim-lined model, but not in PSR's sample. The three wagons that seem to be universal in the early sets, and retained in the larger current line up; all very useful for war gaming and for modellers. The Buggy hasn't been seen in these posts yet and is very Wild West in design, as is the flat box wagon, the other is more European in outline, and would make a nice addition to medieval armies/scenes. Note how the original version of the buggy had huge wheels which severely limit its turning circle, these have been replace on more recent versions of 327 by a smaller set allowing tighter turns without the wheels fouling. The fact that one complete set of wheels are dark brown is a further indicator of the add-hoc nature of filling these sets - whatever is to hand that matched the artwork and then make up the difference! Also note that the artwork shows a wishbone draw-bar, with one horse, yet the contents include a central pole, but only one horse came in the box, when two are required? The reason I can't trust 'My 2' is that although it seems complete (and similar to 'My 1'), it was started and most of the runners had been 'de-sprued' so I can't vouch for it to the same extent as the earlier (?) one. This (the painted one) has the wishbone poles and the smaller wheels and while it had the correct one horse, also came with two of the heavy brewers dray horses, the only time I've seen this. I've prepared a table to show how the sets differ, if anyone would like the original to add their set to the table eMail me on the usual (maverickatlarge[at]hotmail[dot]com) and I'll send you a copy. Or send me your contents list and I'll do a follow-up. You can see that no two of the five examples I'm using has the same contents listing, or count. The latest set (or the catalogue image - which can only be a guide) has three pairs of draft-animals which makes it the most useful, with the extra wagon as well! I believe that's how it happens - the workers use the current catalogue image or a printed-list based on it; as a guide, filling the sets from stock and adding odds and sods to make-up the numbers and/or ensure the count is greater than the box states, negating complaints from customers? The smaller animal runners seem to be universal and come with no extras, each is an old 'six-figure' set's-worth and I'm not sure how the suckling piglets vignette should look as it had come loose/off the runner. Figures are dealt with below, but the 'Washing Day' runner's contents are here to minimise imagery in what was always going to be a long post. The larger animals are interesting as they were separate sets in the 'six figure' range, with cows and horses offered as 155 and 156 respectively (six animals each), however in the budget range (4150 - Horses and 4155 - cows) they lost the foal/calf, I suspect some of the animals in 327's came from those removed in that exercise. The rest provided by splitting the original runner/s for horses and/or cows into two and chucking half in one 327 box, the other in another. The foal is missing from both my line-ups so is also missing from the previous image, while numbering has changed slightly with regard to the 'last three' as a second set of [more animated] horse poses was added in the 1980's and there are now various sets of cow offered by dint of different paint finishes. There are two poses missing from this as my listing for the table is based on the five sets studied only. Either of the prone/lying-down horse or cow from the original 'six-figure' sets may have been included in 327's, otherwise it would have been back in the granule-hopper? The farm or 'rural' family, he's casting seed, she's literally holding the baby, while the older boy is suggested as the goat-heard in pictures. They'd look just as good out on the prairie waiting for the Clancy Gang to raid their barn! The set was also part of the coloured plastic batch we looked at the other day. 'At the Mill' is a nice vignette with a recalcitrant donkey/ass/mule type refusing to be told what to do or where to go, again useful - add it to the various Atlantic mules and the Esci Alpini one (not to mention the more recent additions to the canon) and you've got quite a team for your Chindits or Merrill's Marauders! This is an odd one as well, as there are clearly some sets of 327 (not mine) which have extra milkmaids from this runner, as the budget issue is the full six-figure (or five and a mule) set, there'd be no extra's kicking-around the factory so did they break whole runners for one extra figure , or even two? It may have been reduced to five in earlier times, but earlier sets seem to lack the extra milkmaids - although they are on the box? Maybe the rest of the family ended-up in some of the larger, bulk, figure-only sets; sans milkmaid? I say this as those set's which have the extra shepherds, get them as they are left over from the sheep-only sets. If you cast back to the shepherd post, you'll notice that one of the bulk sets only has standing sheep, the 'spare' prone sheep then appear at a higher ratio in another bulk set, leaving lots of spare shepherds and dogs to be added to these 327's. One would expect something similar with the milkmaid but it doesn't seem to be the case, as a result a lot of recalcitrant donkeys may have gone back in the hopper - that'll learn 'em! The other standard 'six-figure' set is the farm worker set, in the painted 'exclusive' range this is one of many, another being scaled-down ex-Elastolin poses, while a third has more rotund sculpts and a fourth 'At the Cattle Market' is a cow-based version of 'At the Mill', only with a slightly more compliant cow. The above set comes with a runner of six little tools, usually in a contrasting colour plastic - here grey (part-painted, part set - My 2) and brown (My 1), but it also raises question marks - see below. Every set seems to 'agree' with regard to the four old, knackered, fence sections, which have definitely seen better days and need some work . . . . . . for which there is a mending-kit included in most sets. The codes: 0566 put them in a small range of accessory-sets (we looked at '556 - Luggage' the other day) which came out just before the big late 1980's re-numbering exercise, whether there was a separate 566 I don't know, I haven't found it yet. No instructions come with this group of runners, and you can see in the official Preiser shots above, several ways of building the water-pump/trough (803.0566). I think the other runners are meant to make four two-bar fence sections (802.0566) with three uprights each, tall enough for horses or cows to be corralled, and the short posts (801.0566) are for the wire? The 803.0566 runner also carries two buckets with separate handles (more question marks), a stool and some thin hoops which may be to fashion a hinged gate from the N/Z shaped piece and the posts at the other end of the runner, but all three runners just provide useful stuff for buildings, shelters, earthworks/defence-works or 'bits' of built environment, while the 'barbed-wire' is lovely stuff. If anyone wants to buy it in bulk - WWI or ACW war-gamers - it's the 'security' wire used with lead-plugs to seal utility meters, corporate router-cabinets, service panels and the like and can be bought, dirt cheap (per inch), by the reel, from electrical wholesalers. So the question marks seem to be over the newer sets, the catalogue image shows six buckets and PSR reports 12, these are clearly being added now as the PSR box has the latest version graphics, but PSR doesn't seem to have the 566 runners, the parts from which are piled-up all over the catalogue image. Neither source seems to show the two from the 566 runners, but everything in the catalogue image is grey so they may be there? If the [new] buckets are on a runner of 6 with PSR having two runners, you need to add the two from 566 (and the one from the guy feeding the horse?), which would change totals to 8 or 14 where a 566 is included. Tools are also a query, in the old catalogue image (and both my sets) you get a runner of 6 field/barn/yard tools with long handles, there are a lot in the new catalogue image; maybe three sets (I've assumed two), held, stacked or loaded in the wagons, so it would seem multiples are being included, but PSR's don't break-down by runner (4 forks, 2 spades?), and PSR also has a bunch of hand tools not seen in other sets, seemingly 2x1 runner? Don't get me wrong, I do not doubt the contents of PSR's set, I know how diligent Dave is when it comes to these things, but it's clear the latest sets are getting a bunch of smaller items added to the extra wagon, horses, milkmaids (&etc) whether or not they should have been, or where in [some of] the older sets. That's the thing with this set, the boxes have never fully explained the contents, the contents vary every time you look at them and the catalogue images shift components like sand on the breeze, but it seems to be following a basic contents 'menu', it seems to be the place of last refuge for items left out of other rural, bulk or budget sets and it seems to be slowly growing in size/contents - it's a really useful set; get one, get two - compare the contents and report back!

__label__cc	0.737904	0.262096	Two-Colored Balls On July 17 I linked to an article on the Chinese trying out two-toned balls. I wrote, "This is a great idea - I've blogged in the past how silly it is that in such a spin-oriented sport, we have a ball where you can't see the spin, and suggested we use a soccer-colored one or something like that." I don't know why they are calling them two-toned balls when the more accurate term is two-colored balls. So I'm going to call them two-colored balls. Personally, I'd like to see them try out soccer-colored balls (like the ones in this picture), or have a contest for "best design," with the soccer-colored balls an inspiration for designers. However, there are pluses and minuses to using such a ball. Overall, I like the idea of both players and spectators better able to see spin in this spin-oriented Olympic sport. But there are downsides as well, the largest being how this would affect choppers. The only way to find out for sure how a two-color ball would affect the game is to try it out, as the Chinese are doing. I look forward to seeing the results. Here are what I see as the advantages and disadvantages of a two-color ball. Better appreciation of our sport by spectators. Few understand just how much spin is on the ball, and so have little appreciation for what's actually happening. More interesting for spectators. Colorful balls are more interesting than bland one-color ones. Kids will especially like more colorful balls. More rallies. Players will be more consistent in returning serves and getting into rallies. Better rallies. Players will make fewer errors in rallies from misreading spin. May hurt choppers. This, to me, is the biggest possible problem, and why I'd like to see some testing first to see just how much it would affect them. High-level choppers do rely on mixing up the spin to force mistakes, and two-colored balls might make that more difficult. However, it's hard to say how much, both because by the time the attacker reads the spin (especially no-spins) it might be too late, and because the chopper will also be able to better read the attacker's spin. But overall it's likely to hurt choppers at least some. Tradition. You shouldn't make changes in the sport unless there's a very good reason. Developed skills no longer needed. Established players may find some of their hard-earned skills in reading spin no longer needed so much. New skills needed. Players would have to develop the new skill of reading spin directly from watching the ball, something that can only be done to a small extent with the current one-color ball. I'm guessing this will have less effect than some may believe as by the time you read the spin directly off an incoming ball it's likely too late to adjust most strokes, except perhaps passive returns. Comparison of Plastic ("Poly") and Celluloid Balls Here's a report from the ITTF that compared plastic to celluloid balls. It's dated April 2013, based on testing from November, 2012. Keep in mind that the plastic balls since that time have improved, but this shows how much testing was done, and the info that ITTF had when it made the decision.

Chérif Hajem Classic Age Fabian Akerstrom Matt Winkler Mattias Översjö NA Cup on TV NCTTA Poly Balls Tim Boggan TT in Space Wed, 06/05/2013 - 13:46 — Larry Hodges On June 4 I blogged about seeing an optometrist last week. Until recently I could read easily without glasses, but as I wrote on June 4, it's getting harder to focus on near items, and my right eye especially is getting worse. Yesterday I got the new reading glasses, and they work great. I don't need them at my computer, but now I can read books comfortably again. And there is nothing more important than that, right? Other than table tennis, of course. I'm a bit nearsighted, so without glasses things in the distance get blurry. I discovered this on my first day in college back in 1980. I'd taken two years off after high school before starting college, and apparently my eyes had changed during that time. I sat in the front row, and could barely see what was on the blackboard - I spent the whole class squinting. Immediately afterwards I saw an optometrist, and within a couple of days I had glasses. Normally I only need them for classes, when driving, when watching TV or a movie. I take them off at home, and at most times when not doing something that requires seeing in the distance. They often are perpetually perched on top of my head, where they seem to balance well, ready to be brought down when needed. I do wear them for table tennis. I simply can't see my opponent's contact with the ball otherwise, or see the ball clearly as it approaches. It means I don't see things as well close on my side - such as my own contact - but that's not quite as important as it would seem, as by the time you are contacting the ball you can't really react anyway. It doesn't seem to affect my serves, where the ball is traveling slower. I've tried progressive/graduated lenses, but the changeover in the lenses as the ball approaches was too much for me - it hurt my eyes and I'd lose track of the ball. I tried contacts in the late 1980s, but they weren't for me. I never could get used to having something in my eyes, which kept drying up. Plus it's a hassle putting them in and taking them out. They'd put me in a permanent state of seeing things in the distance, but everything near would be blurry, which I don't like. I wear croakies eyeglass holders (plain brown or black) to keep the glasses in place. Some or most people don't seem to need this, but if I don't, the glasses jump about for me. I have two pairs of distance glasses - my normal ones, and my playing ones with the croakies, which I keep in my playing bag. I'm so used to wearing glasses when I play that when I feed multiball (which I do a lot), I'd feel uncomfortable without them. Why? Because I'm barely five feet from the player I'm coaching, with little time to react if he accidentally smacks me in the eye. So the glasses are now my eyeguards. I know Coach Jack Huang had serious eye problems for a time when someone hit him in the eye. What are your eyewear experiences in table tennis? On May 21, I blogged about seeing a dentist. I'd been averaging one cavity every three years (one every six trips to the dentist), and hadn't changed my brushing or eating habits. I'd been seeing the same dentist for a decade, but she'd left, and I had a new one. Out of the blue the new one said I had 11 cavities, with seven of them needing immediate attention! Total bill would have been $2300. Yesterday I saw a different dentist to get a second opinion. His verdict? I had zero cavities, though he said there was "one very slight gray area on the x-ray that we'd have to watch, and might be the beginning of a cavity."

History of U.S. Table Tennis - 1984 USATT is once again serializing Tim Boggan's most recent book, "History of U.S. Table Tennis, Vol. XIII," which covers 1984.

In addition to sandpaper, hardbat is pretty active in the UK - here's the European Hardbat Tour 2013 page, presented by the English Association of Table Tennis. Inclusion: The Future of Table Tennis? Here's the article and video (1:03), at Kickstarter (they are looking for funding). "INCLUSION combines Table Tennis and Racquetball to create a newly dynamic, fast-paced playing experience. The revolutionary side walls extend the playing surface and function as "bumpers" for novice players to help them enhance their skills. Expert players similarly benefit from the added dimension which allows for a greater variety of angled shots and a more challenging, intensified gaming experience."

__label__wiki	0.502523	0.502523	posted Friday, June 5, 2009 - Volume 37 Issue 23 Fischerspooner turns in disappointing results by Jessica Price - SGN A&E Writer The Showbox Market All I can think of to describe Fischerspooner's "performance" at The Showbox is a Smiths song title - "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore." The one-time darlings of electro-clash are touring for the release of their third full-length album, Entertainment. Entertained was about the last thing I felt; bemused and scornful come closer to mind. If it's boys in makeup lip-synching that you want to see, Seattle has dozens of truly amazing performers any night of the week, and they actually get up and move. Fischerspooner's return to The Showbox was an absolute sham. By the time Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner appeared onstage a good 45 minutes late (Fischer in an atrocious Emo Philips-style yellow wig and Spooner looking like an overstuffed kabuki character), those in attendance seemed weary of trying to hype up for a good time. Four flimsy panels onstage, suspiciously covered in what appeared to be tinfoil, weren't exactly encouraging. (After doing the festival circuit for so long, couldn't the duo come up with something more impressive than tinfoil?) If your reputation is based on equal parts music and mind-blowing performance, the first thing to do is make sure the "mind-blowing" part is leaning toward the positive end of the spectrum. Song-wise, lifeless versions of "Amuse Bouche" and "Happy" barely upped the energy. When you have no instrumentation onstage and all eyes are on you, a certain degree of effort would be commendable. Even if the new material is less than stellar, I thought for sure the stage show would be worthwhile - but no. Spooner seemed smug, uninspired, and undeserving of any credibility at all - he barely could be bothered to throw himself wholeheartedly into a hip thrust. Luckily, the tinfoil panels shifted to reveal four 10-foot mirrors, adding a little more depth to the stage. Four ballerina-esque dancers leapt around in exaggerated high-school theater sequences, while Spooner mostly stood still and twitched occasionally. Preening and posing is okay for a MAC ad, but come on! "Get Confused" and "Supply and Demand" only made me wonder if there will ever be a ban on futuristic silver jumpsuits and jerky movements as art. A few low-budget costume changes and twirling umbrellas switched things up a bit - more silver, more kneepads, a bit of neon and more nude wig caps. Spooner's ridiculous, lifeless facial expressions continued while the dancers leapt as if they could save the show, which of course, they couldn't. "Emerge" and "Sweetness" were a momentary relief. I kept praying that Dina Martina would magically appear for a cameo - only Dina could somehow turn a catastrophe of this size into something beautiful. Circa 2001, riding on the strength of their debut album, #1, Fischerspooner's live shows were legendary, highly charged performances. Or maybe it's just that the material was better, which is definitely true ("Emerge," "Sweetness" and a brilliant cover of Wire's "The 15th" were all on that release). But the 2009 live edition of Fischerspooner is dismal and tired, and no amount of silver suiting or tinfoil can shine up a disappointment such as this.

Aston Martin V12 Zagato by Velocity Automotive Performance 6 Mar 2014 12:00 pm \| Aston Martin, Cars Take a good look at this sweet ride, ’cause I doubt you’ll ever see one up close. If you do, you’re one lucky bastard! The Aston Martin V12 Zagato is one of the rarest Aston Martin vehicles ever, considering only 150 units will be built. And, you can’t really ignore that 330,000 pounds price tag, but it’s sad to know that production has been paused around the 65 unit mark. The Aston Martin V12 Zagato is powered by Aston’s famous 6.0-liter V12 engine, which outputs 510 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. But, as always, some people are to picky for their own good, which is why the owner of the following V12 Zagato – located in the United States – wanted a bit more from this rare jewel so they headed off to the Velocity Automotive Performance garage. Please note that this is one of just two Aston Martin V12 Zagato beauties imported into the United States. The Aston received the Velocity full V12 Power Pack, comprised of a new exhaust manifolds and catalysts made from Formula 1 grade Inconel 625, not ot mention the rear exhaust silencer made from lightweight titanium, performance air filters and proprietary ECU tuning. All of that work adds up to 45 hp and 40 lb-ft of torque more than the standard car. Since the lightweight components used include those sweet PUR wheels, the car weighs a 100 pounds less than a standard V12 Zagato which translates into more speed. We just can’t get enough of that, right?

And set default Java Compiler by running: sudo update-alternatives --config javac 4.

The problem is that this JDK 8 is rather old: 1.8.0_01-internal. For instance, on my MacBook Pro I have JDK 1.8.0_40. Unfortunately it seems that there’s nothing as recent for Ubuntu. Nostromov March 20, 2016 at 7:31 pm Ofc., the (Launchpad) ppa is unavailable for 15.10 wily & while there is a package included with the distro – WHO KNOWS whether it’s backport, or WHAT will be the deal with it, meh. It’s (quite) stressful, the way Flash, Java & a whole-bunch of other stuff is (not) handled – as, per, usual, blah. ;$ Xi March 28, 2015 at 5:20 pm Even in ubuntu 14.10, if we use openjdk-8, how to use it in firefox as icedtea plugin is not available for java 8. If available or if there is any workaround, let us know. Stephen Masters April 13, 2015 at 1:03 pm @Fabrizio – You may have noticed this already, but currently (April 13th, 2015) the version you get if you follow the instructions above, is: openjdk version “1.8.0_40-internal” Dan Baggott May 12, 2015 at 5:55 pm Rather than using update-alternatives which can only update a single binary at a time, use update-java-alternatives which handles all relevant java binaries simultaneously. This ensures that not only java and javac will point to java 8, but all the associated java binaries will also point to java 8 (jhat, jstack, etc, etc) See: http://askubuntu.com/a/141798 Alicia May 23, 2015 at 12:25 am Note, if you’re using Ubuntu prior to 13.10 you’ll need to get python-software-properties installed before it will recognize the add-apt-repository command: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties Aye Min Oo July 6, 2015 at 8:17 am I can’t use javac command.

Dora Smith August 17, 2015 at 1:00 pm It’s telling me I have unmet dependencies, and you didn’t tell us how to fix that. Jens Rantil September 8, 2015 at 9:24 am Which dependencies do you have issues with? gyoengy November 2, 2015 at 8:23 am Thanks, it was a big help for me. Andrea November 26, 2015 at 2:14 pm Thanks worked perfectly on mint 17.2 64 based on Ubuntu 15.10 Ji m November 27, 2015 at 1:31 pm Thanks for your feedback, but Mint 17.2 is 14.04 LTS based :) rc primak November 26, 2015 at 3:14 pm Using update-java-alternatives on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS produced a series of error messages. Then it reverted Java to 1.7 (Version 7, some update number) = icedtea. The Command Code used in the article itself did not have that effect, and the change to Java 1.8 (Version 8, Update 45) stuck through rebooting. So, the Comment had code which at least in my system, does not work properly. One hangup might be the Firefox Mozilla Java Plugin, which does not have a version 8 in the Ubuntu Repositories at this time. Trying to update every binary at the same time can run into these sorts of issues. Best to stick with the stepwise approach and test at each stage of updating when using alternatives or ppa sources.

Plus general musings on life, love, the craft, the universe and everything. For more information, visit: ThatActionGuy.com Screenwriting For Dummies Here's a piece adapted from 'Screenwriting For Dummies'. You've probably heard the saying "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Now, that doesn't mean that you should copy the stories or even the style of other writers, but you may want to try moving through the world as they do. In the old stereotype, writers don all black and scowl at the world while scribbling furiously in a notebook or subsist on coffee and cigarettes while scribbling furiously in a notebook or drink heavily while scribbling furiously — well, you get the picture. Although you can certainly offset your creative anxiety in healthier ways, that stereotype does contain a small grain of truth — writers are always scribbling, whether armed with a notebook or not. Their senses are story-ready, carefully selecting details from their environment and sequestering them away somewhere for the next great script. Some writers are born with this awareness, but most hone their skills with every new project. To develop this sensibility in yourself, you need to take a closer look at which details writers collect and how they select among them. What a writer sees Imagine that you attend a school reunion. You see all the usual trappings: a welcoming committee equipped with name tags, tables piled with food, a beverage bar, party decorations, and perhaps a band. Most people find old friends, socialize a bit, and call it a night. Most people do, but not most writers. A screenwriter notices the tight smiles on everyone's faces, their quizzical look before they remember someone's name, the one-time school football star drinking too much in the corner, the former sweethearts who exchanged glances then left arm in arm, and so much more. The writer can also recreate the scene in such a way that those images are evident to a casual observer. Under a writer's piercing gaze, these moments flourish and may quickly become the next scene in a script. The writer's process here is no different from any type of physical training. You're preparing your eyes to catch certain details — in particular, details that personalize the scene. Some of those details include The scene's overall layout: Screenwriting consists of visual images constructed in a telling way, meaning with choice details in mind. When you enter a space, test how quickly you can assess it, close your eyes, and then recreate it. How would you write it down so that someone else imagines the same space? Anything out of the ordinary: Scan the scene for unusual details. What about it seems out of place or ill at ease? The man in the suit wearing the lovely woman's wristwatch or the table of sports enthusiasts drinking hot cocoa — many stories rise out of something curious. Telling looks or exchanged glances: If someone looks at another person for any length of time, generally, something's going on. He may be recalling a past visit, trying to catch her eye, or checking up on her for someone — any number of musings are possible. If two people exchange glances, a silent conversation is underway. Watch and see if you can translate what's being said. Loaded gestures: Many conversations take place in a single gesture. A father puts his hand on his son's shoulder — this movement may be menacing, commanding, or supportive depending on how it's executed. The gestures of any given moment become a silent score of what's going on beneath the conversation. If you can track the gestures, you can recreate them later. Personality quirks: Someone's eccentricities, physical and emotional, immediately distinguish that person from others. Twin brothers may look, walk, and talk alike, but one of them may dress with care while the other seems to own a single sloppy outfit. If you watch the world long enough, you soon acquire a list of personality traits ready to enhance any character you create. Looking at the world this way eventually becomes a habit. Your eyes automatically adjust to the process. When that occurs, you may be ready to retrain the next sense — your sense of sound. What a writer hears Imagine the school reunion again. Interesting visual images crop up all over the place now, but what sets them off? Is it the overly loud dance music, the constant whispering behind you, the clinking of glasses in toast, or the flash and click of numerous cameras? Screenwriters pick up on all sorts of sounds that enhance a scene. Try locating the following in your own surroundings: Noises that suggest the event: Many scenarios come equipped with their own soundscapes. You'd be quick to distinguish a christening from an accident site, even with your eyes closed. Whether your scene takes place outside in a field or inside a prison cell, the surrounding noises immediately provide an atmosphere for your piece. Noises that punctuate the scene: Occasionally, you may notice a sound that enhances the moment. If you're watching a man cry softly to himself, the laughter of two lovers nearby may enhance the man's loneliness somehow. In the film In the Bedroom, Sissy Spacek smashes a dish on the counter the moment she gives way to her anger. The sound of shattered glass mimics her emotional state. The rhythms of conversation: Every conversation has its own unique sound. The pace of the voices, the repetition of phrases, the moments of silence — a screenwriter listens to all these things. Listening to the rhythms of conversation helps you compose your own dialogue and provides aural examples of human communication. Slang and jargon: These terms refer to words and phrases that suggest a culture, a socio-economic background, or a profession. They suggest character immediately, sometimes even location. Filmmaker Spike Lee often utilizes street slang to differentiate between cultures, gangs, and prejudices. Television shows like E.R. rely on hospital jargon to give them a believable edge. You're not responsible for including all the sounds that you discover in the body of your script. However, if you can close your eyes and hear a scene, you'll be far better able to write it. Sound is often a more intimate way of understanding your story. Because the noise represents the world of your characters, this process may also help you understand their internal dilemmas as well as the external ones. What a writer remembers and what a writer forgets Enhancing your perceptive skills can be a full-time job. When you consider the volume of compelling images around you, it's a wonder that most screenplays aren't four hours long. After your senses adapt to this new process of viewing the world, finding and recording those details is the easy part. Like spring-cleaning, the difficulty comes in selecting which few you may keep and letting the rest go. Of course, which exact details a writer cherishes and which he forgets will vary according to personality. However, if you're stumped as to what you may hold on to, consider the following information. It may be important to remember Details that create a compelling image: A "compelling image" means one that is full — full of tension, full of emotion, full of potential movement, full of life. As a screenwriter, your job is to grab an audience's attention through such images. Remember anything that catches your eye in this way. Details that raise a question: Questions are the key to strong writing. Personal questions fuel the desire to write and find answers; the characters' questions determine the choices they make throughout your story. Any detail that forces a question is worth remembering. Details that tug at your moral or ethical code: Hopefully, every script you write will serve some purpose — to inspire, to spark debate, to inquire, and so on. In order to communicate clearly, a writer needs to know what she stands for and why. Any details that refute or support your own views may come in handy later. Details that establish a debate: Many films rely on ongoing arguments to bolster the momentum. Whether the argument exists between characters or audience members, if your script sparks a debate, it successfully engaged someone. Watch for the moments in real life that elicit arguments of various kinds. Details that help you understand the human condition: Most art strives to understand life and its injustice, its irony, its savage nature, and its glory. Once in a while, you encounter a moment that provides a piece of the puzzle. Keep those moments close above all. If the detail in question doesn't fit into one of these categories, it may be worth abandoning. Remember that you're constructing every image with an aim in mind. If the details you include distract from or compete with that aim, getting rid of them isn't only a good idea — it's your job. Consider this example: You're constructing a scene from the school reunion, and you want the audience to focus on one girl hovering by the buffet table stuffing food into her purse. If her eyes dart over the crowd, if she has the hollow look of a woman who hasn't eaten in a while — these are details to preserve. They strengthen the tension of the moment. The fabric of her purse, the size of the table, the number of brownies she takes — these details are unimportant. They distract from the scene's primary focus — the action of a person quietly stealing food. This process becomes second nature as you orchestrate your own scenes. The screenwriter's job is to tilt the audience's head towards the most dynamic portion of each scene and let that portion jump into the next. Eventually, the story will become so clear that it demands the necessary information and refuses the rest for you.

It was uploaded the day the video was released. Would love to see this. Can't find one anywhere! Reply #5 posted 08/04/19 4:36pm connorhawke The same track is available for sale on Tidal.

Tame, Feb jjam Is this an EU promo CD? RODSERLING So...the point here is : does anybody heard the song on the radio? Because...the aim of a radio edit is to...be played on the radio, right? gandorb The only commercial radio station that added it to their playlist that I know of is a Urban Contmporary station in Fort Wayne Indiana. They have given it just 7 spins so far, but I'll keep an eye on it to see if this generates any interest. I doubt seriously that it will, as it is not a good fit for this format. I do think the format would be the most likely one to play newly released Prince music, but they need something soulful or a love ballad. Most of the songs on Originals fit the bill better the Holly Rock. Tidal wants $1.99 for the MP3 and $4.99 for the FLAC file. For one song! Pretty steep. gandorb said: Is there a way to track how many plays something recieves? A certain kind of mellow.

__label__wiki	0.568197	0.568197	The Monsters Know What They’re Doing Ready-to-Use Tactics for D&D 5E Why These Tactics? The Monsters Know What They’re Doing: Combat Tactics for DMs Eladrin Tactics Posted on September 30, 2019 September 30, 2019 by Keith Ammann The eladrin in Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes are not in any way to be confused with the eladrin subrace of elves described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. The Mordenkainen’s eladrin are CR 10 champions, each intimately associated with a different season of the year. Like many other fey creatures, they have a whimsical, fever-dream quality to their behavior: their decisions sometimes make more emotional sense than they do strategic sense. One curious aspect of eladrin is that the four “types” aren’t separate beings at all. Eladrin morph from type to type according to the season—or their moods—with the metamorphosis taking place upon completing a long rest, so you don’t need to concern yourself with their changing type mid-encounter. They don’t do that. What qualities do all the types of eladrin have in common? They all have resistance to physical damage from nonmagical attacks. They all have darkvision, ideal for the perpetual twilight of the Feywild. They all have superior natural armor, Magic Resistance, the Fey Step trait, and proficiency with both longswords and longbows. This constellation of features allows them to dart around a battlefield, engaging and disengaging as they please, suddenly appearing up close or far away—whichever is more inconvenient for their targets. Spring eladrin are spellcasters first and skirmishers second, and they aren’t so much about slaying opponents as they are about shutting them down. The tricky part of managing their spell kit is that so many of their spells require concentration—and that so many affect only one target at once. Enthrall and hallucinatory terrain are exceptions to both of these restrictions. Hallucinatory terrain has a long casting time, so it’s more for laying groundwork before a combat encounter takes place; the spring eladrin’s reasons for disguising the landscape may not even have anything to do with combat per se, only with a general intent to manipulate. Enthrall concentrates the attention of an entire group on the eladrin, allowing its allies to surround them or slip away, depending on what the situation calls for. But its range is the same as the range of the spring eladrin’s Joyful Presence, which charms creatures within a 60-foot radius. This means that the other spells in the spring eladrin’s repertoire have to be used for dealing narrowly with those foes who are unaffected by both Joyful Presence and enthrall—and these are most likely to be ones who are resistant or immune to being charmed. Charm person, then, is obviously off the table except against a target on whom Joyful Presence has already worn off, or as a desperation move. Confusion requires concentration but is useful against multiple targets—four being the ideal number, per the “Targets in Area of Effect” table in chapter 8 of the DMG—if those who resist the spring eladrin’s charms happen to be appropriately clustered within a 10-foot-radius sphere. Tasha’s hideous laughter, because it incapacitates, is especially suitable against an individual of a martial class or subclass with Extra Attack. Suggestion and Otto’s irresistible dance are subpar for the spring eladrin’s purposes, although the latter can also be used against a target who’s shaken off Joyful Presence. Belligerent opponents who resist its charms and insist on attacking the spring eladrin will find it to be an elusive target. When engaged by a melee attacker, it begins its turn with Fey Step to distance itself without provoking an opportunity attack, moves another 30 feet away, wheels about and Multiattacks with Longbow—once if it needs to cast a spell at the same time, twice if it doesn’t. When shot at by a ranged attacker, it does the opposite: moves as close to its foe as it can get, Fey Steps the remaining distance into melee reach and Multiattacks with Longsword, two-handed (since it carries no shield), once plus a spell or twice with no spell. If it can’t close the entire distance to its ranged-attacker enemy, it either casts an appropriate spell, Dodges (if it has allies present) or countersnipes with its Longbow. The spring eladrin is always thinking a move ahead, so you need to, too: if the belligerent foe whom the spring eladrin needs to deal with requires the use of the weapon it’s not wielding, give it a temporizing turn while Fey Step is on cooldown to stow one and draw the other. Player characters with their hands full may be willing to drop weapons on the ground to pull off short-term switches, but spring eladrin aren’t. Also, since spring eladrin are less interested in winning a knock-down fight than they are in taking away their opponents’ ability to hurt them, you need to be conscious of why the combat encounter is taking place to begin with. Is the spring eladrin there to drive the PCs away? To prevent them from leaving? To steer them into a trap? To steer them past a danger? Is it working alone or with fey allies, and are they trying to harm the PCs or merely maneuvering them around as the spring eladrin is? Whatever this goal is, it’s always paramount, and the spring eladrin only attacks those who won’t be dissuaded from violent resistance; it would much prefer to handle the entire situation with Joyful Presence and its skill at Persuasion (or Deception). If it’s seriously wounded (reduced to 50 hp or fewer), it gives up, Dodging as it retreats. The summer eladrin is an aggressive shock attacker, a flare-up of wrath personified, whose main objective—as can be inferred from Fearsome Presence—is to drive others off. If this trait doesn’t suffice to repel interlopers, the summer eladrin employs the edge of its sword instead. When combat begins, its first move is to use its movement plus Fey Step to charge the nearest opponent who’s within 60 feet of all its other opponents, so that its Fearsome Presence can take effect, and use Multiattack to strike twice with Longsword, two-handed. The summer eladrin is less concerned than the spring eladrin with using Fey Step to disengage, because it’s counting on Fearsome Presence to get its enemies to run away from it rather than vice versa. As long as they’re frightened of it, they have disadvantage on attacks against it (including opportunity attacks), while it’s striking twice per turn and dealing an average of 20 damage with each hit, so they should want to move away—and it’s going to take its opportunity attack when they do. Of course, if it’s leaving a frightened melee opponent to go engage with a non-frightened one, it may as well use Fey Step at the start of that move to preclude the OA if the feature is available. But if Fey Step isn’t available, and it can reach that other opponent with its normal movement, it’s not going to worry about the OA. On subsequent rounds, the summer eladrin chooses a target who’s overcome its Fearsome Presence or was never affected by it in the first place. If it can reach that target with normal movement alone or normal movement plus Fey Step, it Multiattacks with its Longsword. If it can’t, it stows its sword and takes out its bow while Fey Step is recharging, then Multiattacks with Longbow on its next turn. But if any enemy reverses direction and comes back toward it, it goes back to Longsword. And if, when the PCs and the summer eladrin first meet, it’s more than 80 feet away from the nearest of them? Rather than charge a PC it can’t reach—and rather than lead with its bow—it uses its Intimidation skill to order them off. Combat ensues if they insist on approaching anyway. A summer eladrin uses Parry against a normal melee attack only when there’s no other foe with a magic weapon that it may need to Parry instead. Parrying magic weapons always takes priority over Parrying nonmagical weapons. Because the summer eladrin is ruled by its temper, it doesn’t flee, no matter how badly wounded it is. Autumn eladrin, like spring eladrin, are spellcasters first and foremost and are disinclined to fight—in fact, despite being chaotic neutral, they’re quite good-natured and interested in helping out. If possible, an autumn eladrin forestalls combat altogether by using its Insight skill to preemptively discern the PCs’ needs and “get to yes” with them. As it’s parleying, it calmly approaches until it’s within 60 feet of all of them, so that its Enchanting Presence will kick in immediately if combat should ensue. Most of the autumn eladrin’s spells—cure wounds, lesser restoration, greater restoration, heal and raise dead—are boons rather than tactics. Sleep, as an innately cast 1st-level spell, is practically useless against a group of high-level adventurers; its only feasible application is as a gentle, nonlethal coup de grâce against one or maybe two already severely injured opponents. In a combat encounter, the autumn eladrin relies most heavily on calm emotions, which it uses to try to turn the hearts of those who insist on fighting it and who are unaffected by Enchanting Presence from hostility to indifference. An autumn eladrin doesn’t move to attack. If a melee opponent comes to it, it attacks with Longsword—choosing to nonlethally knock its opponent unconscious if it reduces them to 0 hp—then Fey Steps away and uses the rest of its movement to get to a safe distance. It doesn’t resort to Longbow unless an intransigently antagonistic opponent resists its charms, in which case it moves to maintain a range of between 60 and 150 feet from that opponent and takes potshots until the quarrelsome idiot is finally either downed or dissuaded. Foster Peace is an interesting feature, because it can’t be used to thwart an attack against the autumn eladrin itself—it affects creatures charmed by the eladrin, and part of the charmed condition is an inability to attack whoever or whatever has charmed you. It can therefore only be used by the autumn eladrin to thwart attacks against other creatures—allies of the eladrin, perhaps, or third-party entities—which may inspire a few ideas about what kinds of scenarios you might have an autumn eladrin show up in. Winter eladrin are governed by melancholy; they fight, as they do everything else, with a sense of profound sadness that such an eventuality couldn’t have been avoided. They’re spellcasters, but not zippy-dodgy long-range spellcasters like spring eladrin. Winter eladrin don’t move unless they have to. They move their opponents instead, using gust of wind. The winter eladrin’s weapon attacks do very little damage; they’re hardly worth using, even for opportunity attacks (Frigid Rebuke is a better use of the winter eladrin’s reaction). Its first line of defense is its Sorrowful Presence, but note that the DC of this feature is significantly lower than the Presence features of other eladrin. A higher-level adventurer who fails to beat it either has dumped Wisdom or is simply unlucky. Thus, it’s much more likely that a winter eladrin will have to resort to drastic measures to deal with aggressive interlopers. These drastic measures are cone of cold and ice storm, each of which the winter eladrin gets to cast only once. Ice storm is for when four or more belligerents are conveniently clustered in a 20-foot-radius circle that doesn’t include any charmed target; cone of cold is reserved for when all the winter eladrin’s opponents insist on attacking it. In each case, just before casting, the winter eladrin uses Fey Step to reposition. Before casting cone of cold, it moves to the optimal place from which to freeze all its opponents in the blast. Before casting ice storm, it cheekily allows its foes to surround it—then Fey Steps away to a safe distance, centering the storm on where it used to be. (It’s immune to ice storm’s cold damage, but it would suffer the bludgeoning damage if it stayed put.) While waiting for the preconditions of these spells to fall into place, the winter eladrin moodily stands pat, using Frigid Rebuke against whichever attacker seems likeliest to suffer the damage. Its Intelligence isn’t high enough to read Constitution modifiers off character sheets, but it is high enough for it to make comparisons by observation and judge which opponents are more or less hale than one another. Thus, on the first round of attacks, it may allow one or more opponents to hit it without consequence before invoking Frigid Rebuke. (This decision is essentially a “secretary problem,” in which out of n opponents, the winter eladrin allows n/e—rounded to the nearest whole number—to take swings at it unmolested before unleashing Frigid Rebuke on whichever subsequent opponent seems less tough than all who came before, or on the last one, if they’re the only one left.) After the first round, the winter eladrin has had the chance to compare all its assailants and can accurately judge which one has the lowest Con mod. But once another opponent manages to shake off Sorrowful Presence and joins the attack, it has to make the comparison all over again. On its own turn, it aims gust of wind in whichever direction the spell pushes back the greatest number of enemies. In case of a tie, it aims it at the opponents with the lowest Strength modifiers—oh, yeah, while it was comparing everyone’s Con mods, it paid attention to their Strength mods, too. Both fog cloud and gust of wind require concentration, but they don’t conflict, because the winter eladrin’s criteria for using them are wholly separate. Gust of wind is for repelling melee attackers while the winter eladrin stands its ground. Fog cloud is for covering the winter eladrin’s retreat when, upon being seriously wounded (reduced to 50 hp or fewer) or having spent its daily uses of both ice storm and cone of cold, it finds the idea of continuing to fight too depressing and decides to leave. ETA an afterthought: My assumption above has been that each eladrin, since it doesn’t carry a shield, uses both its weapons two-handed, which necessitates stowing one while wielding the other, which takes time. It is possible, if you want to get more action out of an eladrin, to assume that it always carries its longbow in its off hand, wields its longsword one-handed in its main hand, and uses free interactions to draw the sword (when attacking with the sword) or sheathe the sword (when attacking with the bow) as needed, as it uses its main hand to nock arrows and draw the bow. This approach strikes me as somewhat more elegant from a game mechanics perspective but much, much less elegant from a biomechanics perspective: who does their best sword work while clutching a 6-foot bow in their other hand? (Yes, that’s how long longbows are. We treat them as the default bow because we like the damage and the range, but they really are enormous sons-of-guns. The same is true of longswords, TBH—when you think of a “sword,” generic, unless you grew up on Final Fantasy, you’re thinking of a shortsword or a rapier.) Anyway, I care a lot about verisimilitude, so I wouldn’t play it this way, but there’s nothing I’m aware of in RAW that says you can’t. Next: shadar-kai. Posted in FeyTagged CR 10, fey4 Comments ← Ulitharid and Mindwitness Tactics Shadar-kai Tactics → 4 thoughts on “Eladrin Tactics” Colton B. says: Your comment about the Summer Eladrin using Intimidate reminds me of a question I have had several times when I read your blog regarding NPC use of social skills on PCs. It seems to me that you can roll Intimidate until you’re blue in the face and get Nat 20’s the entire time, but if your PCs don’t want to be intimidated, they won’t be. On one hand, I understand and applaud this as the DM not being able to dictate PC actions, but on the other hand, it ignores some NPC abilities. Do you have insight about how to address this in a way that doesn’t railroad your PC actions? Much appreciated for the response and all the work you do. I feel like it has helped me understand how to play NPCs so that they have unique character and don’t just fight until they die. Keith Ammann says: Your players are always in charge of their PCs’ actions, but anyone who refuses to accept that social skills—like any other skill—can work on them and not just on NPCs needs to grow up. It’s perfectly within the DM’s purview to tell a player, “You believe him,” or, “She’s got a good point,” or, “You believe that it’s fully capable of making good on its threat.” The effects of a successful social skill check are presented to the PCs as information (possibly true, possibly false) for them to act on. What they choose to do with that information is up to them: the target of a successful Persuasion or Deception check isn’t charmed, nor is the target of a successful Intimidation check frightened. Conditions carry mechanical weight; in those instances, the PCs are firmly constrained. Leith says: “who does their best sword work while clutching a 6-foot bow in their other hand?” Eladrin! If anyone. CaduceusIV says: “The same is true of longswords, TBH—when you think of a “sword,” generic, unless you grew up on Final Fantasy, you’re thinking of a shortsword or a rapier.” More of a terminology issue on D&D’s part, really. The one-handed main knightly sword that D&D calls a long sword would have probably just been called a sword in the true medieval period, with unusually small ones called short swords and unusually large ones call great or long swords. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightly_sword#Terminology Available now in stores and online!

SANU President Professor Vladimir Kostic told RTS that the institution he heads has a tradition of 178 years, and that he deeply believes that there is a solution in culture to what he would call the “Serbian issue”. “Since this year is dedicated to Slobodan Jovanovic, one of his quotes goes like this: ‘It is the culture that will help us survive all these political and historical circumstances’. In a culture that we have so little faith in, there is a solution to what I would conditionally call the Serbian issue”, Kostic said. He stressed that this was not only a date significant for the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, but that it was a date referring to the statehood and society that great people in the past had cherished and “whose trail we try to follow”. Asked about the position of science in our culture, Kostic said that science in Serbia is doomed to mere existence, but that there is a paradox that people need to get familiar with. “For years, we are among the top two, three countries in the world that have outstanding scientific contributions despite low financial investment. This year, we are the third, right after Great Britain and Finland. I avoid mentioning this in front of the authorities, because they will get the impression that it is not necessary to invest into culture, given that we have accomplished great things”, he stressed. “The state, he said, will have to set aside more funds than before in this field, but also we have to break some kind of isolation, we have to communicate with the world, to enter into exchange with the people abroad. “We have to function as part of the world, part of scientific networks. There is an effort made with this regard. It’s not so simple. There is something I would call scientific capitalism or scientific neo-colonialism, but Serbia is doomed to enter the scientific market, to compete with others, proving that our people deserve a place in the world science”, he stated. He added that we are not as successful as we want to show ourselves, and that sometimes a false impression is made, but that science is doing much better than we deserve, in general.

The all-night celebration morphs into a hallucinatory nightmare, when they learn their sangria has been laced with LSD. What ensues in director Gaspar Noé’s Climax is a lurid orgy of sex, drugs and club music. Apparently, this actually happened in 1996. The film starts with a protracted series of interviews with dancers. They answer questions about themselves and their motivations. Then it moves into endless dancing, much of it shot from above with a repetitive, pulsating soundtrack. Half-way through, the trip to hell begins, with paranoia, in-fighting and much more besides. Nothing, it seems, is off limits. Gaspar Noé what were you thinking in creating this piece of art-house trash? What I consider, hands down, the worst film of the year? For every second of the 97-minute running time I just wanted it to end. As far as I’m concerned it’s utterly without merit. It features bad acting and overacting. Basing a picture on fact doesn’t make it worthy or watchable. The movie began with the full list of credits. That should have been my cue to leave. By the end of the movie most of the action was being shot upside down and had been for minutes on end. As far as I am concerned that completed the disaster. In a total reversal of the title, Climax was a massive anti-climax. It is one to be avoided.

How To Create Fantasy Art For Computer Games This book is a practical guide on how to create artwork for computer games - a burgeoning area in which thousands of artists are hired each year. The guide mostly focuses on fantasy art but the information it gives on media - both traditional and digital, doodling, light, mass and negative space creatures, game genre, working with models, composition, perspective, character development, interactive environments, and atmosphere is pertinent to all computer art. A gallery of fine art and illustration collections is also included making this book the ideal introduction to the world of producing computer art and encouraging turning a creative hobby into a career. Bill Stoneham has been a professional fine artist for over 30 years. He has worked in both feature film and effects studios and for the last 20 years he has been creating computer art for computer games companies such as Lucas Arts and Edios, amongst others. Games User Research "Fundamentally, making games is designing with others, everyone contributing from different angles towards the best possible product. Conclusively, Garcia-Ruiz has chosen a collection of chapters that demonstrates several different aspects of working in gaming and working with others that stands to raise the level of expertise in the field." -Veronica Zammitto, Senior Lead Games User Research, Electronic Arts, Inc., from the Foreword Usability is about making a product easy to use while meeting the requirements of target users. Applied to video games, this means making the game accessible and enjoyable to the player. Video games with high usability are generally played efficiently and frequently while enjoying higher sales volumes. The case studies in this book present the latest interdisciplinary research and applications of games user research in determining and developing usability to improve the video game user experience at the human-computer interface level. Some of the areas examined include practical and ethical concerns in conducting usability testing with children, audio experiences in games, tangible and graphical game interfaces, controller testing, and business models in mobile gaming. Games User Research: A Case Study Approach provides a highly useful resource for researchers, practitioners, lecturers, and students in developing and applying methods for testing player usability as well as for conducting games user research. It gives the necessary theoretical and practical background for designing and conducting a test for usability with an eye toward modifying software interfaces to improve human-computer interaction between the player and the game. The Cognitive Dynamics Of Computer Science A groundbreaking, unifying theory of computer science for low-cost, high-quality software<br> <br> <br> The Cognitive Dynamics of Computer Science represents the culmination of more than thirty years of the author's hands-on experience in software development, which has resulted in a remarkable and sensible philosophy and practice of software development. It provides a groundbreaking ontology of computer science, while describing the processes, methodologies, and constructs needed to build high-quality, large-scale computer software systems on schedule and on budget.<br> <br> Based on his own experience in developing successful, low-cost software projects, the author makes a persuasive argument for developers to understand the philosophical underpinnings of software. He asserts that software in reality is an abstraction of the human thought system. The author draws from the seminal works of the great German philosophers--Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer--and recasts their theories of human mind and thought to create a unifying theory of computer science, cognitive dynamics, that opens the door to the next generation of computer science and forms the basic architecture for total autonomy.<br> * Four detailed cases studies effectively demonstrate how philosophy and practice merge to meet the objective of high-quality, low-cost software.<br> * The Autonomous Cognitive System chapter sets forth a model for a completely autonomous computer system, using the human thought system as the model for functional architecture and the human thought process as the model for the functional data process.<br> * Although rooted in philosophy, this book is practical, addressing all the key areas that software professionals need to master in order to remain competitive and minimize costs, such as leadership, management, communication, and organization.<br> <br> This thought-provoking work will change the way students and professionals in computer science and software development conceptualize and perform their work. It provides them with both a philosophy and a set of practical tools to produce high-quality, low-cost software.

__label__wiki	0.519874	0.519874	Home » Far-Left » Stop the War Continues to Promote Assad Apologists Stop the War Continues to Promote Assad Apologists Stop the War Coalition is a British grassroots group that ostensibly lobbies the West to “change its disastrous foreign policies.” In truth, as the Spectator writer James Bloodworth notes: “[Stop the War] isn’t so much opposed to war as has accrued a sorry reputation for supporting the other side in every conflict it has pretended to oppose.” Stop the War has a long history, in fact, of working in support of Iran and her allies, Syria and Hezbollah. In 2007, one of the speakers at Stop the War’s annual conference was “Somaye Zadeh of Campaign Iran”, who used her speech “to counter the imperialist lies [about Iran].” Somayeh Zadeh, whose real name is Somaye Bagherzadeh, is a member of the anti-sanctions lobby group CASMII, whose Directors are closely involved with senior Iranian regime officials and institutions. Stop the War’s vice-president is Kamal Majid, who has urged support for the Assad regime because of their “long history of resisting imperialism” and claims that their downfall “will pave the way for a pro-Western and pro-US regime.” Majid was also the founder of the Stalin Society, which was established to “defend Stalin and his work.” In 2005, Stop the War told a group of anti-regime Iranian refugees that Stop the War “can not allow any statement against the Islamic regime in Iran from the platform.” Stop the War official Andrew Burgin has stated: “There are supporters of Ahmadinejad who we do not want to exclude.” On the 30th November, Stop the War is holding its annual conference. Originally, the proposed line-up of speakers included Mother Superior Agnes Mariam de la Croix, a Catholic nun based in Syria. In August, Mother Agnes published a 50 page document that claimed to demonstrate the chemical attacks conducted in Damascus that month were in fact staged by the Syrian rebels – Assad’s forces supposedly had nothing do with the atrocity. Once Mother Agnes was outed as an apologist for the Assad regime, fellow conference speakers Owen Jones and Jeremy Scahill suddenly considered her to be an unsuitable bedfellow, and allegedly refused to speak at the conference unless Mother Agnes was dropped. Subsequently, Mother Agnes agreed not to attend. Stop the War published a statement that assured its members: “In inviting speakers to participate in its events, Stop the War has never sought to endorse all their views. We have always provided a platform for a diversity of opinions within a broad anti-war perspective.” James Bloodworth, writing in the Spectator, noted: The real question is why any respectable person would think it ok to appear at a Stop the War event in the first place. In inviting Mother Agnes to speak the Stoppers were simply sticking faithfully to their own ‘anti-imperialist’ worldview — hence why the organisers still see nothing wrong in having selected her as a speaker. It was after all the organisation’s National Officer John Rees who once wrote: ‘Socialists should unconditionally stand with the oppressed against the oppressor, even if the people who run the oppressed country are undemocratic and persecute minorities, like Saddam Hussein.’ The Stop the War Coalition are not anti-war; they are a malevolent Leninist front whose leadership has a long record of lining up alongside any movement or tyranny that is sufficiently anti-Western. Mother Agnes would have fitted in very well. This is an important point. But one does not actually need to scratch the surface that deeply — another question might be: why have these Stop the War speakers condemned the participation of one Assad apologist while saying nothing of the others with whom they are sharing a platform? Manik Mukherjee, for instance, is also billed as a headline speaker at Stop the War’s conference. Mukherjee is a Politburo member of the Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) and General Secretary of the International Anti-Imperialist Coordinating Committee. Like Mother Agnes, Mukherjee is an ardent defender of the Syrian regime, and believes the chemical weapons attack to be Western conspiracy: The imperialist powers [are attempting] to destabilize Syria and oust the present Government of President Bashar el-Assad. They hatched a conspiracy to instigate some anti-Government forces to start an armed conflict against the legitimate Government led by President Assad. Now their latest salvo in the propaganda war is the allegation against the Assad Government of using chemical weapons on its enemies, an allegation which has been stoutly denied by the Government. We all know that propagating lies with vigour is a standard tactics of the fascists and imperialists in their wars against the enemies. Unlike Mother Agnes, no one has objected to Mukherjee’s presence at the 30th November conference. Mukherjee is also an unequivocal supporter of the North Korea regime, whose response to “US-South Korean aggression” he describes as “heroic resistance” and urges North Korea “to employ all possible means in self-defense.” Mukherjee declared that he and the organizations that he represents, “stand by the side of DPRK [North Korea] in this struggle.” Mukherjee has declared that the Soviet Union “existed with all of its glory and might, so long as it was led by able leadership of the great proletarian leader, Comrade Stalin, the worthy successor of Comrade Lenin.” In 2007, Mukherjee organised a conference in India, named “Imperialism, globalization, Zionism—Resistance to military occupation and war.” According to news reports: “Leading members of Hezbollah gave presentations on the Lebanese Resistance and the changes it has achieved.” Other conference speakers described peace initiatives between the Israelis and Palestinians as “phony” and instead expressed praise for the “continuing heroic Palestinian resistance.” Moreover, concluding conference resolutions signed by Mukherjee declared the “conference’s deep admiration and respect to the courageous and militant Lebanese resistance led by Hezbullah and its leader Mr. Hassan Nassrallah, for achieving this tremendous victory facing the US-Israeli brutal and devastating aggression against Lebanon.” The conference further “affirmed solidarity with the resistance in Iraq [i.e terrorist attacks against US and British troops] … solidarity with Iran, full support of the Palestinian demand for the right to return, solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela and the Cuban Revolution, and condemnation of imperialist aggression and destabilization in Latin America, especially against Cuba and Venezuela.” Despite the Mukherjee’s varied collection of extremist statements, there has been no objection from Stop the War. Nor has anything been said by the conference speakers who, citing the need for a principled stand, had so boldly positioned themselves against an elderly Catholic nun, albeit one with extremely objectionable ideas. It seems likely that Stop the War will refuse to drop Manik Mukherjee as a speaker. This is partly because Mukherjee belongs to a number of Marxist international groups, whose members include officials from the Communist Party of Great Britain, a key founding member group of the Stop the War Coalition. Mother Agnes might fit in, as James Bloodworth notes, with the Stop the War crowd, but Manik Mukherjee could lead them.

__label__wiki	0.581162	0.581162	Grief not justice for Uzbeks in Kyrgyzstan For IRIN News: OSH, 26 May 2015 (IRIN) – Zahira doesn’t like to return to the site, a concrete slab which covers the entrance to the cellar where her twin brother Hassan hid. “Most of us women and children went to camps at the border [with Uzbekistan], but the men stayed behind to protect our homes,” said Zahira*. Hassan was among them. “I called him around noon and he said they were hiding in the cellar. I called again at 5pm and no one answered.” Zahira returned the next evening to check the house. It had been burnt to the ground with Hassan and his four children still inside. They were all dead. Next month it will be five years since that day – the peak of the 2010 ethnic riots in southern Kyrgyzstan known locally as “the war.” Mobs of Kyrgyz and Uzbek youths clashed for days. The bulk of the damage was done to the Uzbek community, which accounts for only 15 percent of Kyrgyzstan’s national population but represents a near majority in southern cities like Osh and Jalalabad. At least 418 people died, two-thirds of them Uzbeks, an ethnic group that has straddled the border of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan for more than 500 years. Another 400,000 Uzbeks were displaced by the fighting, many of them seeking refuge in Uzbekistan. Five years on, human rights inquiries have been quashed, those responsible enjoy impunity, while the Uzbek minority is still victimised. There is growing fear that the widening ethnic gap in southern Kyrgyzstan, along with a rise in Kyrgyz nationalism, could fuel another bout of clashes.

Former Nigeria coach and player Samson Siasia says he is still in the dark as to the whereabouts of his abducted mother. Mrs Ogere Siasia, 76, and two others have been held captive since they were seized in Bayelsa, southern Nigeria ten weeks ago. But Siasia says the police are no closer to finding her. “The police said it’s been difficult to track these kidnappers, but my great concern is that my mother is very sick,” Siasia told BBC Sport. “For someone who is unwell to be held against her will is not only callous, but heartbreaking and sad. “So I can only keep appealing to these guys to please let my mother go. I would like for the government or whoever is capable to help me bring my mother back.” Siasia also recently filed an appeal against a life ban for match-fixing, imposed by world football’s governing body Fifa. It’s the second time in four years that Mrs Siasia has been kidnapped after she was held by gunmen for 12 days, before her release back in November 2015. Siasia, who played over 50 times for his country while scoring 16 goals, has had little contact with his mother, but believe she is unwell. Although the Bayelsa state police said they are currently trying to rescue her unharmed, the former Nantes and Lokeren striker says he is a broken man who needs the support of a nation he served. “What more can I do but plead for assistance from the government, police and my country that I served as a player and coach,” he said. “My mother is seriously sick and this bothers me a lot. I don’t know where or who to turn to at this point. “I’ve not had a job for three years, battling with a Fifa ban appeal and to have my sick mother in the hands of kidnappers, I just feel extremely tired.” A former international, Siasia won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria and played in their maiden World Cup appearance later that same year. As a coach he led his country’s under-20 and under-23 sides to continental success in 2005 and 2015 respectively. He also guided the U20s to a runners-up finish at the 2005 World Youth Championships (as it was known at the time) in the Netherlands. Siasia is the most decorated African football coach at the Olympics, winning silver at the Beijing Games in 2008 and bronze at the 2016 Games in Rio.

__label__wiki	0.604063	0.604063	instaPoll: Do you support Congressman Forbes' efforts to stave off drastic defense cuts that could result in a loss of jobs? Congressman Forbes, Chairman of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, has released a video discussing looming defense cuts and their threat to jobs and those who serve. The video is part of Congressman Forbes' Strong Defense, Strong America initiative, an effort to inform Members of Congress and the general public on the impacts of defense cuts that could result from the Supercommittee's deliberations or under sequestration as put forth in the Budget Control Act. Secretary Panetta has warned that if looming trillion dollar cuts to national defense are enacted, the nation will see unemployment climb by another one percent. That's over 1.5 million jobs lost. Such devastating job losses forecast by the Defense Secretary exceed all of the job losses in the construction industry during the recession. Even if Secretary Panetta's numbers are overstated, another $600 billion in security cuts would undoubtedly bring at least 200,000 pink slips for active duty war-fighters nationwide; 13 percent of our service members will be forced out. To these individuals, the threat of getting a late paycheck during a government shutdown will pale in comparison to the prospect of joining the ranks of unemployed Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who already face a 22 percent jobless rate. Another 200,000 job losses will come to Department of Defense civilian workers; one in four will get pink slips. The video is available here, or by clicking on the image below.

A 2010 Government Accountability Office report found that a quarter of the country's 600,000 bridges are either "structurally deficient" or inadequate to meet today's traffic needs. To address this problem, Congressman Forbes has introduced the 414 Plan, a bill that temporarily suspends burdensome regulations that have stalled the highway construction process to an average of 13.1 years while still maintaining rigorous safety and durability standards. The 414 Plan: Suspends for five years all federal regulations that do not pertain to the safety or durability of highway facilities, or of public and workplace safety; Dispenses with costly, outdated federal requirements while continuing to afford states and localities flexibility in utilizing federal funding for road and bridge projects; Expresses the sense of Congress on the need for greater interagency cooperation among project stakeholders to further expedite the deployment of surface transportation projects; Does not authorize any new, stimulus-style funding; and Has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Last week, Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born radical cleric and prominent al-Qaeda leader, was killed by a U.S. drone strike. Awlaki helped direct al-Qaeda operations, including the attempt on Christmas Day 2009 to bomb an airliner bound for Detroit and an effort in 2010 to use explosive-laden printer cartridges to blow up cargo planes bound for the United States. Although this is considered by most to be a huge victory in America's ongoing war on terror, some have raised questions about the legality of the mission authorized to kill an American-born terrorist affiliated with al-Qaeda. Earlier this year, I joined 321 of my colleagues in support of the National Defense Authorization Act, a bill that contains an important provision that reaffirms that the Unites States is at war with al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces. While groups like al-Qaeda are now weaker and increasingly scattered, these groups still pose a continuing threat to U.S. national security. This legislation would ensure the U.S. military has the legal authority to continue to address the threats posed by these groups and eliminate terrorists like Awlaki.

__label__cc	0.552612	0.447388	Caitlyn Jenner Offers Lame Excuse For Wearing Trump Cap Caitlyn Jenner is in hot water with the LGBTQ communities once again. Don’t get us wrong. We respect her journey, of course. Still, she’s got some issues. The 67-year-old Republican trans reality star first earned the ire of her trans brothers and sisters for her logic-defying support of Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Last week she finally spoke out against 45 after he tweeted a proposed ban on trans people serving in the military. Jenner seemed to be the only human on the planet surprised by the decision. She told TMZ on Friday that she now detests him and “What he’s doing to our community is absolutely fucking awful.” Better late than never, girl. Then she was photographed wearing one of those g.d. red “Make America Great Again” caps. As Fragrant readers surely know, this is code for bringing bigotry in America back to the forefront. Even those hard-core fans of Can’t Stop The Music, the 1980 gay cult musical, in which the then-Bruce Jenner appeared, have had their fill of Caitlyn’s lackluster ability of discernment. However, Jenner admitted her wrong-doing, saying “I apologize to all of the trans community. I made a mistake. I will never do it again and I’m getting rid of the hat.” She claims she mistakenly put on the hat after grabbing the first one she could find while rushing off to a golf club. Then upon closer look, she realized her sartorial gaffe and immediately felt horrified that she’d inadvertently supported the anti-trans president. Um, sure, girl. Don’t let it happen again, CJ! Check out the offending pic below.

__label__wiki	0.585002	0.585002	Wall caldding What is Aluminum? What is Aluminum ? Light, durable and functional: these are the qualities that make aluminum one of the key engineering materials of our time. We can find aluminum in the homes we live in, in the automobiles we drive, in the trains and aeroplanes that take us across long distances, in the mobile phones and computers we use on a daily basis, in the shelves inside our fridges and in modern interior designs, but a mere 200 years ago very little was known about this metal. Properties of Aluminum Aluminum offers a rare combination of valuable properties. It is one of the lightest metals in the world: it’s almost three times lighter than iron but it’s also very strong, extremely flexible and corrosion resistant because its surface is always covered in an extremely thin and yet very strong layer of oxide film. It doesn’t magnetize, it’s a great electricity conductor and forms alloys with practically all other metals. We can thank Aluminum for the changing image of modern cities and towns: the clarity of lines, the feverish desire to grow skyward, the beauty, functionality and environmental compatibility of present-day megalopolises. The glass faces of office skyscrapers are supported by lightweight and sturdy Aluminum frames. Entertainment, trade and exhibition centers literally rest on Aluminum frameworks. Stadiums, pools and other sports facilities are also built using Aluminum structures. This metal became one of the most popular materials among builders, architects and designers for the following reason. 25% of all aluminum produced worldwide is used in construction Imagine that you have a light, but strong metal, which is not prone to corrosion, which is non-toxic and durable, and which can be given virtually any desired shape. Aluminum is a tool for unlimited creativity in the hands of the architect, making it possible to create structures that cannot be made from wood, plastic, or steel. That is why it is so commonly used in modern construction. Vijay Enterprises Limited. PLOT, 201, 6TH STREET, INDUSTRIAL AREA, P.O.

The country was divided up geographically into constituencies, and we hold information about all the constituencies within Great Britain, including the different versions of their names. Most votes held in constituencies were as part of General Elections, when the whole country voted, but we also hold information on By-elections, when one or two constituencies voted because MPs had resigned, died, etc. Although today every constituency covers a well-defined geographical area, and elects just one MP, until 1950 there were also University Constituencies, whose voters were people who had graduated from a particular university, wherever they were living now. Until 1950, many constituencies elected two MPs, and some had as many as four. Vision of Britain is currently limited to Great Britain, but our data are all for elections to the UK Parliament at Westminster, so until 1922 the overall result of a General Election depended not just on the British results held here but also on voting in the whole of Ireland; from 1922 onwards, southern Ireland was a separate state but Northern Ireland still sends MPs to Westminster. We hold these detailed statistics for Wellington, which we graph and tabulate here: Period covered (number of categories) Groupings of Political Parties 1885 to 1910 Groupings of Political Parties (7) Political Parties 1885 to 1910 Political Parties (843) Persons Voting or Not Voting 1885 Numbers of persons voting or not voting (2) Total Electorate 1885 to 1910 Total Electorate (1) Total Votes Cast 1885 to 1910 Total Votes Cast (1) Read more about how we hold statistics here.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3609

Based in Manila, Visual Pond aims to be a dynamic player in the Philippine contemporary art scene through projects that engage and promote local artists both here and abroad. We at Visual Pond envision a contemporary art scene that is vibrant, open to experimentation and supported by the community. By taking initiatives and creating opportunities for Filipino artists, we work towards this realization for the visual arts locale. Asides from Manila-based projects, we are also interested in regional and international exchanges on ideas, concepts and possible collaborations with definite end products. Email: visualpond@gmail.com End Frame Video Art Project 3 with West Gallery presents THE IMAGE OF SOUND, a solo exhibition of Kaloy Olavides Visual Pond's End Frame Video Art Project 3, the Philippine Video Art Festival, with West Gallery presents THE IMAGE OF SOUND a solo exhibition of Kaloy Olavides Opening on 16 February 2012, 6 pm. Artist talk on 3 March 2012, 2 pm. Exhibition runs until 5 March 2012. Visual Pond’s End Frame Video Art Project 3: Present, the 2011-2012 Philippine video art festival, together with West Gallery, presents The Image of Sound, the solo exhibition of Kaloy Olavides. The show opens at Gallery 2 of West Gallery on 16 February 2012, Thursday, at 6 pm and runs until 5 March. An artist talk will be held at 2 pm on 3 March, Saturday. The Image of Sound focuses on the significance of sound to video, which, as a moving image, has been more dominantly associated with visuals and the act of looking, seeing and watching. Yet, examining another sensory quality, Olavides’ exhibition centers on the medium’s aural experience, done through documentation of simple performative techniques. While forcing the audience to concentrate on sound, the show seemingly negates the importance of images. Yet, in its austerity, The Image of Sound points to the vitality and potency of both these elements in the recognition of how one informs the other. A year 2000 fine arts graduate from the University of the Philippines, Kaloy Olavides practices with painting, collage, performance and sound and video installation. His works’ themes are inclined to absurdity, irony, anxiety, deception and redirection. His artistic practice is informed by his work in production and sound design for films, music videos, commercials and audiovisual presentations. Olavides is also currently a member of the experimental sound collective Elemento. Olavides’s The Image of Sound is also the fifth offering of End Frame Video Art Project 3, a project of the non-profit organization Visual Pond. Throughout the Philippine video art festival, artists stage a solo show presenting new video work in various venues from 2011 to 2012. Curated by Clarissa Chikiamco, the theme of the third edition, Present, refers to the current project’s focus on the video art practices of selected Philippine contemporary artists. Last year’s End Frame 3 shows included presentations by Tad Ermitaño, Manny Montelibano, Chitz Ramirez and Kiri Dalena. End Frame 3 continues into 2012 with exhibitions by Olavides, Maria Taniguchi and Yason Banal. The show will be viewable throughout its run between Monday-Saturday, 1 pm to 6 pm, and also upon request.

Love Marit Tom Abell I remember those days when it was just Wouter and Helen running the show from their apartment in Amsterdam. We didn’t have e-mail then, so had to fax each other our votes for the Eurovision Song Contest. Although we would always chat business at markets it’s about three years since I sat down with Wouter and had a really long one to one chat and catch up, I was passing through Hong Kong and it was the first time in years that we’d shared a meal and talked properly as friends, it seems like such a long time ago. I really was in shock when I heard the news and share my sorrow with all of you who loved him. Esther Yeung Uchino When I caught the smell of your perfume in the elevator, I knew that you arrived office 5 minutes or less earlier than me.

C. Matthews Company? They all contributed to the campaign of Metro Council candidate Sarah Lodge Talley who has raised $50,301.23 in the financial campaign reporting period ending 6/30/2011. Talley must be sitting a new record for the most money ever spent on a district council campaign. By way of comparison, at large candidate Megan Barry who is running a county-wide campaign has raised only $33000 and at large candidate Tim Garrett has raised $31,000. Talley may also be sitting a new record for the most people who live outside of the state contributing to a council district campaign. Why are people in San Francisco, Boston, and New York contributing to a Nashville district council race? Also, why is a former governor and all of the bureaucrats concerned with this race? While Talley has bigger names supporting her campaign and more out of towners, this is not a David vs Goliath campaign. It is more like Goliath vs. Goliath battle. Incumbent candidate Jason Holleman raised $30,651.00 this reporting period and started the period with a balance on hand of $30,366. While Holleman’s average contributions are smaller and he has fewer out of town contributors, he does have some big name supporters including Senator Douglas Henry, Will Cheek, and Bill Freeman of Freeman and Webb. I am not sure what all is behind this campaign, but I understand the Mayor is very involved and is determined to defeat Jason Holleman. Jason is a Democrat and a liberal, however he has shown independence and opposed the Mayor’s effort to destroy the fairgrounds. Also, I have heard that this race described as a proxy fight between the more progressive Democratic forces led my Jeff Yarbro who are supporting Talley and the more traditional Democrats who are supporting Holleman. I really don't know why there is so much interest in this race, but it sure is interesting. Labels: Jason Holleman, Sarah Lodge Talley	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3620

Director of platform enforcement and litigation Jessica Romero said in a Newsroom post that the defendants allegedly used different companies and websites to sell those fake engagement services. She added that Facebook suspended accounts that were associated with the defendants and warned them in writing that they were in violation of the social network’s terms of use, but the activity persisted. The lawsuit asked the court to prevent the defendants from engaging and profiting in the sale of fake Instagram likes, views and followers, as well as from violating Facebook’s terms of use and community guidelines and from violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and other California laws. Romero wrote, “Inauthentic activity has no place on our platform. That’s why we devote significant resources to detecting and stopping this behavior, including blocking the creation and use of fake accounts and using machine learning technology to proactively find and remove inauthentic activity from Instagram. Today’s lawsuit is one more step in our ongoing efforts to protect people and prevent inauthentic behavior on Facebook and Instagram.” https://adweek.it/2VqXs2J David Cohen is editor of Adweek's Social Pro Daily.

She loves colour, and her... One of Laura Sessa ’s standout qualities is the sensitivity with which she grasps the subtlest nuances of boat owners’ wishes. She loves colour, and her work inspires a feeling of wellbeing and happiness her clients love by Carla Pagani In Poli, a town 25 miles from Rome, the calm silence of a rainy winter holds sway. The olive trees are still, the land is sodden and the branches are bare, except for a few sad-looking oak leaves. The red brick of Casalvecchio stands out against the angry sky, the large, circular windows providing a glimpse of the interior, like giant portholes looking out to sea. We’re at the headquarters of Laura Sessa, one of the most prestigious yacht interior designers in the world, just a few hundred yards from the sixteenth-century Villa Catena, which during the age of the Grand Tour was painted by landscape painters from across Europe. When we arrive, the architect is in the middle of a conference call with a client. Amels 55 m Lili While we wait, her colleagues answer phone calls, exchange information and beaver away on their computers in what feels like a large, warm and welcoming foundry of ideas. A Maremma Sheepdog and Weimaraner wander among the chairs and, every so often, let themselves out into the garden through the wide patio doors. The amply sized work bench and the walls are covered with countless fabric samples, catalogues, portfolios and geometric chocolates from Parisian chocolatier Fabrice Gillotte, in a bedazzling array of colours that reveals relentless dynamism. «This is where I get my inspiration. We work in a domestic, family-like environment», Laura Sessa says as she joins us in the large room. «I can find peace here after long journeys and time spent away. And I can even see the sea from the top floor». CRN – Chopi Chopi But first we take a step backwards. «My passion for the sea began a long time ago, during my childhood in Athens». But it was purely by chance that she ended up working with boats. Serendipity, you could say. «I had just turned twenty, and I ended up working in France with Alberto Pinto, who taught me an incredible amount. I learned that the most important thing when you design something is to never lose sight of its functionality». For this reason, Laura Sessa hates cold environments with a clinical, hospital-like atmosphere. «A boat has to be lived in like a home, not like an exhibition of museum pieces. Minimalism is very much in vogue at the moment when it comes to the hues used in a design. But I love colour. Any environment has to be warm, functional and well-balanced». Although Sessa has clear ideas about what she likes, she never imposes her thoughts on boat owners. «We always talk to our clients, and the main aim is to meet the needs of the owners. I don’t think a designer should force their style and rules on anyone. The important thing is to create something harmonious». And continuity between the interior and exterior is also crucial. «Sometimes the interior designer has to work with a completed design, which makes it very difficult to fit the different elements together. It’s important to encourage dialogue from the very beginning». Unfortunately, however, this doesn’t always happen. Laura Sessa’s studio designs everything. «We even design the door handles, the wallpaper and the embroidery on the cushions. That’s what were doing now for Lürssen’s Project Fiji, which will be launched in a few months’ time». This 95-metre, fully custom-made boat that can house up to twenty people is the epitome of craftsmanship. Laura Sessa is following the process from beginning to end, from coming up with the design and creating the samples through to the end result. But the decoration is never an end in itself. «The innovation I am most proud of is devising a system where a functional element can be hiddenbehind a decorative one». What does that mean in practice? «For example, covering the television with an artwork that can disappear when required. Creating hidden closets within a wall. Or even handles inside the decorative pommels on a handrail». The boats designed by Laura Sessa are full of these wonders. «Perhaps that’s my father’s legacy», she says, smiling. He was no ordinary father, by the way – «he designed the Lambretta in 1958». So what design is Sessa most proud of? «The one that’s yet to come», she says, jokingly. But it turns out she’s serious. You can tell from her desire to experiment and to look to the future. «Chopi Chopi was undoubtedly a great boat. We were very daring». That was 2013. Since then, the Sessa design studio has put its name to a great many yachts, including a huge number for the Dutch firm Amels. The most recent is Eji, a 55-metre craft launched in 2018. But what is she working on now? «The M/Y 135 for CRN, a new 79-metre superyacht, which will be launched in March. In the meantime we’re working on the Sanlorenzo SL 96, which will be unveiled in Düsseldorf next year». By the time we leave, it’s already dark outside. But the foundry of ideas in Casalvecchio is still going strong. At Sessa, the work never stops.

__label__wiki	0.699538	0.699538	Unfinished Church Bermuda North America The Unfinished Church is, as the name suggests, an unfinished religious structure that is located in the central part of the Saint George’s Island of the British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda. Looming over the town of Saint George’s, this impressive Gothic structure began being built in 1870 and according to other sources in 1874, with hope that it would replace the older Saint Peter’s Church. William Hay of Edinburgh was the specialist architect for Gothic designs who created this interesting piece of architecture with plan to have 650 seats, however, the funding became an issue for the continuation of the construction, as there was not enough support. Also, there was a divide whether it should be finished, or the funds to be diverted towards the reconstruction of the older Saint Peter’s, and with the storm damages that occurred during that period, the project was abandoned. It was some thirty years later when an even stronger storm caused bigger damage to the western end of the structure which in turn made it for the parishioners to completely abandon any plans for its completion. Nowadays, this Unfinished Church is owned by the Anglican Church of Bermuda and managed by Bermuda National Trust, and as it is with no ceiling, floor and windows, it is sometimes used for wedding ceremonies making it an interesting setting for unusual memories. There was some repairing work carried out between 2010 and 2013 when the structure was closed to the public, and with the perfectly done work, visitors of the island nation are once again able to enjoy in a scenery that can not be seen anywhere else. In conclusion, even though it is considered as an abandoned structure, it brings much more visitors than some other places from this interesting tourist destination.

A daughter of Adam and Santana Martinez, Viola produced some pottery but her artistic efforts were more in the direction of textiles and painting. When we asked Johnny were he learned his craft he quickly responded "My grandmother Santana and grandfather Adam, and my brother and his wife, Marvin and Frances Martinez." A regular participant in several annual Native American Arts shows like the Santa Fe Indian Market, Heard Museum Guild and Arizona State Museum Show, Johnny has earned ribbons from the Red Earth Native American Cultural Festival (Oklahoma City, OK: 1st place in Traditional Pottery, 2010) and the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts & Crafts Show (Espanola, NM). Johnny says his favorite style of pottery to make is what his great-grandmother called a "fist pot" (it's about the size of a fist but a bit less spherical) and while he likes to use a micaceous clay slip on the surfaces, he also likes to paint avanyu's, feathers and geometric designs like his great-grandfather used to paint. When he's not making pottery (which isn't often: Johnny loves working with clay), you can usually find him either at a local baseball game (rooting for his kids) or a local art show (showing his pots and/or rooting for his kids). Print this biography Black Mesa at San Ildefonso Pueblo San Ildefonso Pueblo is located about twenty miles northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, mostly on the eastern bank of the Rio Grande. Although their ancestry has been traced as far back as abandoned pueblos in the Mesa Verde area in southwestern Colorado, the most recent ancestral home of the people of San Ildefonso is in the area of Bandelier National Monument, the prehistoric villages of Tyuonyi, Otowi, Navawi and Tsankawi specifically. The area of Tsankawi abuts the reservation on its northwest side. The San Ildefonso name was given to the village in 1617 when a mission church was established. Before then the village was called Powhoge, "where the water cuts through" (in Tewa). Today's pueblo was established as long ago as the 1300's and when the Spanish arrived in 1540 they estimated the village population at about 2,000. That village mission was destroyed during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and when Don Diego de Vargas returned to reclaim the San Ildefonso area in 1694, he found virtually the entire tribe on top of nearby Black Mesa. After an extended siege the two sides negotiated a treaty and the people returned to their village. However, the next 250 years were not good for them. Finally, the Spanish swine flu pandemic of 1918 reduced the tribe's population to about 90. The tribe's population has increased to more than 600 today but the only economic activity available for most on the pueblo involves the creation of art in one form or another. The only other jobs are off-pueblo. San Ildefonso's population is small compared to neighboring Santa Clara Pueblo, but the pueblo maintains its own religious traditions and ceremonial feast days. San Ildefonso has produced fine ceramic art since early pre-Columbian times. The pueblo is most known for being the home of the most famous Pueblo Indian potter, Maria Martinez. Many other excellent potters have produced quality pottery from this pueblo, too, among them: Blue Corn, Tonita and Juan Roybal, Dora Tse Pe and Rose Gonzales. Of course the descendants of Maria Martinez are still important pillars of San Ildefonso's pottery tradition. Maria's influence reached far and wide, so far and wide that even Juan Quezada, founder of the Mata Ortiz pottery renaissance in Chihuahua, Mexico, came to San Ildefonso to learn from her.

Elizabeth Warren Edit Photo Courtesy: Boston Globe Now that we know Sen. Elizabeth Warren "true" heritage, we have to ask: even taking her at her word, did she defraud Harvard University - and everyone else? An official investigation into whether she committed an ethics violation needs to be opened immediately based on this new evidence that Warren speciously claimed "minority status", contradicting the federal guidelines. Now I'm no lawyer or detective, but let's play both for awhile. Let's first recap: Sen. Warren originally claimed that her parents and grandparents had told her of a Native American bloodline, which she later clarified / shifted to claiming to be at least 1/32 Cherokee - not enough to meet the 1/16 minimal bloodline standard, according to Bill John Baker, principal chief of the the Cherokee Nation. Indeed, according to NPR (yes, I can't believe I am citing them, either) most tribes require anywhere between 1/4 or 25% or even a 1/8 or 12.5% of degree of bloodline. "Forked-tongued squaw with shrill war cry steal my hustle... make big wampum spitting bull." -- Frank DeKova, Italian-American actor (F Troop) Senator Warren inadvertently admitted to... let's call it "fudging" her Harvard University application, wherein she claimed minority status as a Native American, which would have given hera competitive advantage over other "people of color" applicants seeking the same job. Harvard then claimed Sen. Warren as a Native American in federally mandated diversity statistics. According to the definition provided on most EEOC forms, pursuant to Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964, an American Indian or Alaskan Native means "[a]ll persons having origins in any of the original people of North America, and who maintain cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition" (emphasis added). Clearly, she failed to meet that standard. The only question remains is a famous one: what did everyone know and when did they know it. Part of the answer is: we all know now. Kinda. Stanford University Professor Carlos D. Bustamante said the results of Warren's DNA test "support the existence of ..Native American ancestor.. in the range of 6-10 generations ago." which would put the blood line percentage around 1/128th to 1/1024th of 1 percent, give or take a few hundredths here and there. It should be noted that 6-10 generation is a huge marginal discrepancy to "guesstimate" a bloodline, especially given an admission in the report that Native American DNA markers may have been supplemented by other less scarce samples. But the facts don't seem to stop Sen. Warren, who's spinning like a top to use this paltry excuse of a bloodline as an offensive strategy, with eyes on a possible 2020 presidential run against President Trump. Though it seems like Sen. Warren might have to put her "moccasin" in her mouth because the DNA findings not only negate any possibility that she may meet the legal requirement needed to claim Native American status, but may have earned "Pocahontas" a new nickname: "Pinocchio." And that's the JACT Perspective. Editor's Note: If you like what you're reading, follow James DeFalco, a/k/a JIMMY JACT CASH, and The Jact Perspective on social media!

The announcement comes just three months after the company received its first 13.5 health claim for its chicory inulin at the beginning of the year. The recent health claim confirms that inulin and oligofructose contribute to a better blood glucose management as they support a lower rise in blood glucose response. The wording for the claim may read "Consumption of food/drinks containing inulin/oligofructose instead of sugars induces a lower blood glucose rise after their consumption compared to sugar-containing foods/drinks" when BENEO`s chicory root fibres are used. The EU Commission will now continue with the publication of the health claim in the EU Official Journal which is expected within 4 to 6 weeks. Consequently, the claim will be able to be used in the market soon. In addition to the authorised 13.5 health claim, general health-related well-being claims under article 10.3 are also possible. Amongst others, these may include "lower & more balanced blood glucose rise". A 30% sugars reduction needs to be obtained by replacement with non-digestible carbohydrates such as BENEO’s inulin and oligofructose according to the conditions of use.. The authorisation is based on several scientific studies all of which confirm that oligofructose and inulin have a significant part to play in the area of glycaemic control. About 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, a number that is likely to more than double in the next 20 years. More than 90% of these people suffer from diabetes type II so preventative measures, such as healthy eating, are a key area of concern. Leading scientists agree that a low glycaemic diet reduces the risk of type II diabetes and helps to control blood glucose levels, a factor that’s particularly important for people who already suffer from diabetes. Consumer awareness around the issue is growing and as a result, many more consumers are now seeking out low glycaemic products. The new health claim supports them in more easily identifying the respective products and also helps manufacturers to develop a greater variety of low glycaemic choices in response to this consumer need. BENEO’s inulin and oligofructose, derived from chicory root, contribute to a lower glycaemic response of food and drink products because they are not digested in the human digestive system and thus no glucose is released into the blood stream. Replacing high glycaemic ingredients (e.g. sucrose, glucose, maltodextrin) using BENEO’s dietary fibres that do not cause a glycaemic response consequently lowers the blood glucose response of the final product and adds a valuable fibre source at the same time. Anke Sentko, VP Regulatory Affairs and Nutrition Communication: "Blood glucose management is a key element in the promotion of long-term health from early on. Consumers are increasingly aware that carbohydrate-based, low glycaemic products contribute to healthy nutrition. The new health claim for BENEO’s dietary fibres inulin and oligofructose confirms once again the strong scientific evidence behind our ingredients. But, even more important than that, it offers manufacturers the opportunity to help consumers make better choices in their daily diet that support a low glycaemic nutrition."

__label__cc	0.65162	0.34838	Zymurgia House Where whimsy's a standard option Return to TCC Letters from Armorica- A Wedding (5 February 35 AF) I have been remiss, quite completely remiss, in not recording the on-going story of Madame Truc and Jacques-le-Souris. Not that you care, of course; but myself, in the future, I will want to remember the details. Looking back, I see that it was almost a month ago that I suggested to Jacques that perhaps Madame Truc had been waiting for him to declare himself. He did, I gather, in his fumble-fingered way; and there followed a week of searching gazes and pondering expressions (and much less banter and badinage than I am used to from them). Amelie and I pretended not to notice, of course, and it was by mere chance that I happened to overhear the denouement, as it were. "Jacques," cried Madame Truc, "what is it you are doing? Following me about, with the greatest constancy, adjusting the chairs and offering me pillows? It is of the most tiresome!" Jacques' response was abashed, most unlike him, but I mentally applauded him for his perseverance: "But, Madame Truc, je t'aime, n'est-ce-pas?" "Naturellement, petit Jacques, for who could not? It is of all things the most reasonable," she said. "I see that I must give into your demands, or peace, there will be none for me! But you must stop this foolish pillowing behavior." But of course it wasn't that simple, for Madame Truc was a fine lady from Mont-Havre, and she knew what was due her, she did, and so she told him. It was fine for Amelie and I to marry in quite a fly-by-night way (as indeed we did, for the village conspired that Amelie and I should spend the night under the same roof during a snowstorm, which would quite ruin her reputation if we did not marry post haste; and so we stood up together in the Church the next Sonnedi, and did so again some months later when next the priest came to Bois-de-Bas). For we were young and foolish and rash, she said. But Madame Truc was a grown woman, she was, and was not about to rush into anything! And so they announced to us over supper a couple of weeks ago that they planned to marry "as soon as is convenable"; and then poor Jacques had to pack his things and go off and stay with Marc and Elise on the farm, for Madame Truc would not remain a single night under the same roof with him until they were wed properly, by a priest, for she had her reputation to think of! It is really a thing of the most foolish, as Madame herself would say; for she has lived under the same roof as Jacques-le-Souris these many years, and no one would doubt the devotion the pair have for each other. And more, Madame's reputation is quite strong enough, even after such a short time as she has been in Bois-de-Bas, to overcome any number of social proprieties. She is a force of nature, she is, and the folk of our village are accustomed to paying all due respect to such, living closer to nature than do the folks of Mont-Havre. And indeed, making the announcement in Church of a Sonnedi is really all that local proprieties require! But that was not good enough; and so I breathed a sigh of relief when Pére Georges arrived in Bois-de-Bas yesterday. We never know when to expect him, for his circuits depend on the weather and many other things; but he was here, and sooner than I would have expected. Amelie immediately went to Madame Truc and told her that she and Jacques could be wed the following day. "So soon? But my trousseau, it is quite unfinished." "Nevertheless," said my Amelie with great firmness. "For it is the most unfair to keep poor Jacques waiting, now that Pére Georges has come. I saw him in Armand's workshop yesterday, and he looked quite miserable to be parted from you like this!" And so Madame Truc and Jacques-le-Souris made their vows today, and are sharing a room; and it is to be hoped that tomorrow I shall be able to resume the use of my study.

__label__cc	0.687994	0.312006	Featured Story / may 2015 Contemporary Kitchens Surge in Popularity Streamlined designs, eclectic touches and multiples of appliances lead 2015 kitchen trends from the National Kitchen & Bath Association. Contemporary is the watchword for North American kitchen design, according to the 2015 Kitchen & Bath Design Trends report from the National Kitchen & Bath (NKBA). Here are the top 10 overall kitchen design trends NKBA expects for 2015: Clean with an overall contemporary feeling. A fusion of styles and multiple colors in one kitchen. European styled cabinets. Multiples of appliances in one kitchen. The rise of steam ovens. Furniture look pieces. Outdoor kitchens. Fewer standard kitchen tables, replaced by counters or tall gathering tables. TVs and docking stations. Wine refrigerators. Focus on the user experience, from easy maintenance to accessible design. Considering the needs of all users in the space, including pets. More than half of the NKBA designers surveyed expected to do more contemporary kitchens in 2015, running a close second behind transitional styles in terms of popularity. The rise of contemporary and transitional kitchen designs have been swift. Both styles have increased in specifications by more than 15 percentage points in just four years. Versatile shaker styling is a popular interpretation of transitional, and almost 40 percent of NKBA survey respondents said they will do more shaker‐styled kitchens in 2015. Several designers also noted the rise in industrial chic, while others cited momentum for mid‐century modern designs. Traditional ended 2014 as the fourth most popular kitchen style, although a quarter of designers will do fewer traditional kitchens in 2015. While decreasing in popularity, it remains a dominant kitchen style with 63 percent of designers reporting that they did at least one traditional kitchen in 2014. White is the most common color scheme for kitchens, followed by gray. About a third of respondents did black or blue kitchens in 2014, with about 20 percent expecting to do more kitchens in those colors. Almost 40 percent did kitchens in green tones in 2014. Designers reported that kitchens with multiple color schemes are emerging. “I am seeing lots of white painted kitchen perimeters with espresso stained islands and dark stained kitchen perimeters with light colored painted islands. Lots of painted white kitchens with light countertops and espresso islands and painted gray cabinets,” said Christine Shorr, AKBD, Morris Black Designs in Allentown, PA. “We’re doing color blocked kitchens, using two different colors in the same kitchen,” noted Rosemary Saggese, kitchen and bath designer Red Interiors in Boston, MA. “An eclectic mix of rustic and contemporary is today’s modern,” another survey respondent noted. Clearly passé are country/rustic, Tuscan and Provincial looks with distressed finishes, as well as color schemes in reds, bronzes, and terra cottas. Solutions to make life easier in the kitchen abound. Pullouts and rollouts for kitchen cabinets were specified by more than 90 percent of NKBA respondents in 2014. About 40 percent expect to see pullout and rollouts increase in popularity in 2015. Ease of use extended to accessibility, with more than half of NKBA designers specifying accessible or universal design features into kitchens during 2015. Easy prep, maintenance and clean‐up features are in demand. Multiple designers report that they install multiples of appliances—most notably two dishwashers—in the same kitchen. “It appears that a lot more of our clients are aiming to create what could be considered a gourmet kitchen,” said Jessica White of Kitchen Encounters in Annapolis, MD. “A lot of clients ask for the additional refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher drawers for extra storage and more function.” About two‐thirds of kitchens now have desks or home office areas, as well as flat‐screen televisions and docking/charging stations. “Kitchens have been, and still are, the hub of the home and clients want everything in their kitchen, i.e., televisions, docking stations, convenience appliances, etc,” said Donna Marie Mushinskie, D M Designs, Yucaipa, CA. The hub of the home is increasingly centered on counter areas vs. kitchen tables, according to multiple survey respondents. “Islands are replacing tables,” said Audrey Macdonald, Creative Interiors By Audrey in Mississauga, Ontario. “We have experienced an increase in popularity for incorporating furniture‐styled dry bars into kitchen designs,” said Tori Johnson, AKBD, of Geneva Cabinet Gallery, Geneva, IL. Half of all NKBA designers specified an outdoor kitchen in 2014, up seven percentage points from 2013, a statistically significant increase. NKBA members specialize in full kitchen projects, both remodels and new construction. More than half do kitchen projects in the $20,000–$49,000 price range while another nearly 40 percent report that their average kitchen price is more than $50,000 for design, materials, and labor. “This report is so valuable because NKBA members are on the cutting edge of kitchen and bathroom design,” said Maria Stapperfenne, CKD CBD, 2015 NKBA president. “It gives us the point‐of‐view from the specialists who are on the front lines creating beautiful and beautifully functional kitchens every day.” The National Kitchen and Bath Association has tracked kitchen and bath design trends throughout its 52‐year existence. A version of this NKBA Design Trends Survey has been in existence since the 1980s and this iteration has tracked trends since 2010. More than 400 designers participated in this study conducted online in late 2014. More details, including product trends, are included in the 2015 NKBA Kitchen & Bath Design Trends report, available to NKBA members on National Kitchen & Bath (NKBA). The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) is the not-for-profit trade association that owns the KBIS®. With nearly 14,000 member companies representing more than 60,000 individuals, the NKBA has educated and led the kitchen and bath industry since its founding in 1963. The mission of the NKBA is to enhance member success and excellence, promote professionalism and ethical business practices, and provide leadership and direction for the kitchen and bath industry worldwide.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3654

Photo by Paul McMahon By Tim Peterson/The Connection Photo by Paul McMahon A Robinson cello quartet performs at the 2012 Robinson Gives Back benefit concert held at Lord of Life Lutheran Church. From left, Erina Ishita, Maya Davis, Nick Rupert and Leif van Acker. For Robinson senior and trumpet player Matt McMahon, just pulling off Saturday’s Robinson Gives Back concert will be a success in and of itself. The president of the secondary school’s 90-member Tri-M music honor society assumed most of the responsibility for organizing the annual event this year when the faculty sponsor and choral director Michael Horanski took paternity leave. The Robinson women’s chorus performs at the 2012 Robinson Gives Back benefit concert. The chorus figures to be a highlight of the concert again this year. But for McMahon, the difficult work of lining up eight different performing ensembles from across the school’s diverse musical disciplines—guitar, band, orchestra and chorus—is well worth the end result: bringing good, live music to the community and donating proceeds to this year’s recipient, the Wounded Warrior Project. “I do want to earn a lot of money for this charity, because it really means a lot,” said McMahon. A brass quintet performs at the 2012 Robinson Gives Back benefit concert. From left, Matt McMahon (of Kings Park West), Natasha Penfield (of Fairfax Station), Brian Kropaczek (of Kings Park West), Zach Miller (of Burke) and Ben Flint (of Burke). The senior is intimately familiar with the Wounded Warrior organization, which offers medical assistance and transitional support to injured soldiers. McMahon’s father Paul served 27 years in the Navy Corps of Engineers and his cousin was recently discharged from the Marine Corps after several tours. Last year, Robinson Gives Back raised donations upwards of $1,500. The mixed program includes some familiar works by Mozart and Tchaikovsky, as well as pieces from composers including Johann Pezel and Eric Whitacre. Offering an ensemble for seemingly every musical taste, the program features a cello quartet, clarinet choir, women’s choir, string quartet, brass quintet, guitar ensemble and Robinson Singers mixed choir. The Robinson singers mixed chorus performs at the 2012 Robinson Gives Back benefit concert. For 2013, the concert proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. “It’s going to be a night of great music, great camaraderie as a music department,” said McMahon. “And you get to help our US combat veterans, who deserve our respect and our love, and our help however we can.” “Robinson Gives Back” takes place Saturday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m. at the Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 5114 Twinbrook Road, Fairfax. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged as all proceeds go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project.

It doesn't have any feet or legs. The guy says aloud,"Golly, I wonder what happened to this parrot?" The parrot says, "I was born this way. I'm a defective parrot." "Holy crap," the guy replies. "You actually understood and answered me!" "I got every word," says the parrot. "I happen to be a highly intelligent, thoroughly educated bird .." "Oh yeah?" the man asks, "Then answer this -- how do you hang onto your perch without any feet?" "Well," the parrot says, "this is very embarrassing but since you asked, I wrap my weenie around this wooden bar like a little hook. You can't see it because of my feathers." "Wow," says the guy. "You really can understand and speak English can't you?" "Actually, I speak both Spanish and English, and I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any topic: politics, religion, sports, physics, philosophy. I'm especially good at ornithology. You really ought to buy me. I'd be a great companion." The man looks at the $200.00 price tag. "Sorry, but I just can't afford that." "Pssssssst," says the parrot, "I'm defective, so the truth is, nobody wants me 'cause I don't have any feet. You can probably get me for $20, just make the guy an offer!" The man offers $20 and walks out with the parrot. Weeks go by. The parrot is sensational. He has a great sense of humor, he's interesting, he's a great pal, he understands everything, he sympathizes, and he's insightful. The man is delighted. One day the man comes home from work and the parrot goes, "Psssssssssssst," and motions him over with one wing. "I don't know if I should tell you this or not, but it's about your wife and the postman." "What are you talking about?" asks the man. "When the postman delivered the mail today, your wife greeted him at the door in a sheer black nightie." "WHAT???" the guy says incredulously. "THEN what happened?" "Well, then the postman came into the house and lifted up her nightie and began petting her all over," reported the parrot. "NO!" he exclaims. "And she let him?" "Yes. Then he continued taking off the nightie, got down on his knees and began to kiss her all over...." Then the frantic man screams, "THEN WHAT HAPPENED?" "Damned if I know.

I don't need any common woman giving me anything." The shocked genie said, "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to that bottle forever." Osama thought a moment, then grumbled about the impertinence of the woman and said,"Very well, I want to awaken with three American women in my bed in the morning. So just do it and be off with you." The annoyed genie said, "So be it!" and disappeared. The next morning Bin Laden woke up in bed with Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding, and Hillary Clinton at his side.

Corvette64 Car Year, Make, Model: 64 Vette GUYS HERES FIVE RULES TO FOLLOW FOR A HAPPY LIFE: 1.It's important to have a woman; who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job. 2.It's important to have a woman; who can make you laugh. 3.It's important to have a woman; you can trust and who doesn't lie to you. 4.It's important to have a woman; who is good in bed and who likes being with you. 5.And Lastly, it's very very important; that these four women do not know each other. Taking care of your older woman It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman. My name is Jim. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Peggy. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Peggy to get a full -time job along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed. Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points. When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me too. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Peggy. I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other. Jim died suddenly on May 27 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing and a sledge hammer laying nearby. His wife Peggy was arrested and charged with murder. Amazingly, the all-woman jury took only 15 minutes to find her "Not Guilty", accepting her defense, that Jim somehow, without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.

"I should have known there was a good explanation Three days later he was watching a ballgame on TV when she walked up and hit him in the head again, this time with the iron skillet, which knocked him out cold.

Duane S On a quiet night you can hear a Chevy rust Supa Roosta Car Year, Make, Model: 98 Dodge SST-540 Blown Hemi Lulu was a prostitute. One day there was a raid. All the prostitutes were lined up outside the police station as they took them in one by one. As Lulu stood in line, she saw her Grandma coming down the street and was so ashamed, Grandma didn't know her occupation. Grandma stopped to say hi, and asked what the line was for. Lulu, saving face, said that the police were giving away fresh Oranges to those waiting. Grandma said wonderful, she loved oranges and got at the end of the line. When the policeman got to the end and saw her, he was amazed. He said, "How the heck do you do this at your age?" She said "I just take out my teeth, rip the skin back and suck'em dry!" The policeman fainted. Two twin boys wake up on their 6th birthday and decide that they are finally grown men. John turns to James and says "The only way that people will believe that we are grown ups is to cuss. From now on, I will use the word damn whenever I can." James agrees and says "From now on, I will use the word ass whenever I can." They shake on it, get dressed, and head downstairs. Their mom turns to them and says "Happy Birthday. For breakfast you can have anything you want." John pipes up and says "Give me some of them damn Cheerios." Amazed at the language, their mom grabs hold of John, drags him outside and wears his ass out with a wooden spoon. John runs back into the house crying and the mother returns and quietly says "Well James, what would you like for breakfast?" James replies "You can bet your ass I'm not asking for any of them damn Cheerios!"

Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."

Founded in 1844 by Father Félix Martin, first rector of the Collège Sainte-Marie in Montreal, the archives was originally known as the Archives du collège Sainte-Marie [see DCB, I, 686]. In 1968 it was moved to Saint-Jérôme and now forms part of the ASJCF. In the year of its founding this archives received a valuable gift from the nuns of the Hôtel-Dieu of Quebec, who had preserved a small part of the records of the old Jesuit college in Quebec (1635–1800). In addition to thousands of photographs, miniature paintings, some 500 maps and plans (as yet unnumbered), the ASJCF contains numerous original documents (256 predating 1800) and certified copies concerning the history of the Jesuit missions in Acadia, New France, Canada, and the United States, from 1608 to about 1930 (the date at which French speaking Jesuits turned over their missions to the Indians of the Great Lakes region and Ontario to English speaking Jesuits); as well there are documents relating to the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Canada in the 19th century. All the documents from the period before 1800 have been published [see DCB, II, 692, The Jesuit relations . . .]. Finally, the ASJCF has records previously held by other archives; all organization completed by these archives has been maintained. The following materials were cited in volume IV: Cahier des vœux.

ARCHIVES DU SÉMINAIRE DE NICOLET. This repository contains nearly 300 feet of documents; although the earliest predates 1638, the majority are from the 19th and 20th centuries. The ASN also has a collection of photographs and reproductions (200 albums and some 20,000 additional photographs), engravings, paintings, music notebooks, old stamps and coins, as well as plans and estimates for the college, and maps of certain seigneuries and of the province. Now being classified, the repository houses the official records of the seminary, and also important private archives such as that of the seigneury of Nicolet and the papers of Abbé Louis-Édouard Bois. There is a catalogue index and card indexes by theme and name. AO: Archives officielles Polygraphie. 16v. I: Succession Louis-Marie Brassard Séminaire.

ARCHIVES DU SÉMINAIRE DE SAINT-SULPICE, Montréal. An important archival repository for the history of the Montreal region from the beginning. The repository, divided into 67 sections, contains 500 feet of documents for the years 1586–1978, about 1,600 maps and plans, and 500 photographs. The following sections were used in the preparation of volume IV: Section 8: Seigneuries, fiefs, arrière-fiefs, domaines, 1658–1930 A: Seigneurie du Lac-des-Deux-Montagnes, 1660–1930 Section 11: Enseignement, 1654–1960 Section 14: Successions, 1653–1958 Section 15: Testaments, 1692–1968 Section 19: Statistiques, 1643–1886 Section 21: Correspondance générale, 1670–1920 Section 24: Histoire et géographie, biographies, divers, 1600–1920 Dossier 2: Biographies, 1642–1850 Dossier 5: Catalogue des prêtres de Saint-Sulpice, etc., 1657–1900 Dossier 6: Cahiers Faillon Section 27: Le séminaire, les évêchés et les paroisses, 1654–1938 ARCHIVES JUDICIAIRES. See Québec, ministère de la Justice ARCHIVES NATIONALES DU QUÉBEC. At the conquest, articles 43, 44, and 45 of the capitulation of Montreal – contrary to the custom of international law at that time – permitted the administrators of New France to take documents relating to the government of the colony back to France. Only records having a legal value for individuals remained in the country, and these were to suffer many misfortunes before the office of the Archives de la province de Québec – now the Archives rationales du Québec – was created in 1920. (See Gilles Héon, “Bref historique des Archives du Québec,” ANQ Rapport, 1970, 13–25.) Since 1971, the ANQ, which has its head office at Quebec, has been opening regional centres in each of the administrative regions of Quebec. In addition to the repository at Quebec there are now repositories for Mauricie/Bois-Francs (Trois-Rivières), Montréal, Outaouais (Hull), Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean (Chicoutimi). Those for Bas-Saint-Laurent (Rimouski) and the Eastern Townships (Sherbrooke) are in the process of organization. There are also plans to open repositories on the North Shore and in the northwest. All the repositories contain private archives and the archives of local communities, which include the records of numerous bodies including parishes, municipalities, and the school boards of each of the administrative districts. As well, they hold documents entrusted to them by the Archives civiles and the Archives judiciaires of the administrative districts. Hence the notarial minutiers (greffes),surveyors’ records, registers of births, marriages, and deaths (updated lists of these documents are available at the archives), and records of various courts of justice will eventually be located at these regional centres of the ANQ [see section i, Québec, ministère de la Justice].

The documentation centre of the IBC includes a library devoted mainly to history, art history, anthropology, archaeology, and architecture, as well as a map library which has copies of both early and contemporary maps of Quebec, copies of architectural plans, a photographic collection. and a large number of manuscript files. Materials consulted in the preparation of volume IV include the following: Fonds Morisset. When Gérard Morisset* set up the Service de l’Inventaire des œuvres d’art in 1940, he gained official recognition for a project of recording and locating works of art which he had conducted personally for more than ten years. Aided by a staff which he himself had trained, until 1967 Morisset photographed articles of silver, works of architecture, and paintings, searched parish account books, newspapers, and notarial registers, and accumulated many thousands of documents on artisans and their work. This impressive collection (about 70,000 photographs, 40,000 biographical cards, 20,000 slides, and 5,000 old photographs) had already acquired an exceptional value as the result of the disappearance of a number of the works of art. The two principal sections of this collection comprise files dealing with the artists and artisans of Quebec (section 2) and files containing documentation on architecture and works of art by locality (section 5). As well, numerous files dealing with architecture, works of art, and the ethnography of Quebec have been added to the Morisset collection to form section 3. The photographs and slides taken by Gérard Morisset or by the staff of the IBC have been studied and classified individually in order to make the collection more accessible to the researcher. McGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES, DEPARTMENT OF RARE BOOKS AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, Montreal. This repository, established in 1965, holds 350 feet of Canadian documents from 1664 to the present, about 670 engravings, and some 1,900 maps and plans.

The PAC has recently converted the former, complex volume numbering system of RG 68 to a single continuous series from 1 to 1142. DCB references are to the new PAC volume numbers. However, since researchers are obliged to consult microfilm copies of RG 68 and only the old volume numbers appear on the reels, a conversion table at the PAC must be consulted to obtain the new volume numbers. PUBLIC ARCHIVES OF NOVA SCOTIA, Halifax. Founded in 1857, the PANS holds government records, court papers, municipal records, family and business papers, collections of societies such as the Nova Scotia Historical Society, community and church records, microfilm copies of deeds and wills from county registries and courts of probate, and a collection of Nova Scotian newspapers. For further information see C. B. Fergusson, The Public Archives of Nova Scotia (PANS Bull., 19, Halifax, 1963).

The Archives civiles and the Archives judiciaires of Quebec, which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministère de la Justice, have now been established as separate repositories, following the reclassification of the old Archives judiciaires. ARCHIVES CIVILES. Located at the courthouses of the principal towns of the judicial districts of Quebec, these archives house documents from the last hundred years including the registers of births, deaths, and marriages, the minutiers or minute-books (greffes) of notaries, and records of surveyors who worked in the district; earlier documents are housed with ANQ. ARCHIVES JUDICIAIRES. The new Archives judiciaires hold the records of the various courts: documents still current, roughly those of the past five years, are at the court-houses; non-current material from about the previous 25 years will be placed in one of the 13 centres now being organized by the Ministère de la Justice where some preliminary archival work will be undertaken; documents that are more than 30 years old will be placed in the regional repositories of the ANQ. QUEBEC DIOCESAN ARCHIVES, Quebec. Early in the 20th century the Reverend H. C. Stuart began to assemble and organize the documents in this repository; the Reverend A. R. Kelley continued the work in the 1930s and 1940s. Part of this material is also held by the ANQ-Q and part by the Church Society of the Diocese of Quebec. The archives contains original records relating to the history of the Anglican diocese of Quebec from its founding in 1793; they include letters patent, registers of consecration, and bishops’ papers, correspondence relating to the parishes and to various associations and institutions of the diocese, and a large number of miscellaneous items. In addition it has copies of letters and documents concerning the diocese (1759–1864) that are held in England, and two important sections of printed primary sources. For a more complete description of this archives, see Kelley, “Quebec Diocesan Archives,” ANQ Rapport, 1946–47, 181–298 [section iii]; A. M. Awcock, “Catalogue of the Quebec Diocesan Archives” (copy available at the archives, Shawinigan, Que., 1973). The following documents were used in the preparation of volume IV: Section A: Letters patent and records of consecration of bishops, 1793–1935 45 (A-7), Copies of various letters patent, proclamations Section B: Parishes of the Diocese of Quebec, 1793–1885 70 (B-24), Three Rivers Section C: Correspondence of Right Reverend Jacob Mountain, 1792–1845 72 (C-1), 1792–96 Section D: Copies of letters and papers referring to Diocese of Quebec, 1759–1864 82 (D-1), 1759–80 ARCHIVES DÉPARTEMENTALES.

The governing authority is now the Inspection du Génie. There are two repositories: Archives du Génie. Situated at the Château de Vincennes, this archives originally included 23 articles. A certain number have been turned over to other archives, notably article 9 (Colonies françaises), which is now in AN, Section Outre-mer, Dépôt des fortifications des colonies, and article 16 (Cartes), which has passed to the BN. There remain, however, several registres or cartons which contain information on former French colonies. Used in the preparation of volume IV were the following: Article 3: Personnel Article 8: Places françaises Article 14: Places étrangères: Amérique sep- tentrionale, possessions anglaises, États-Unis, Louisbourg, île Royale . . . Article 15: Histoire militaire, campagnes et sièges Bibliothèque du Génie, 39 Rue de Bellechasse. The manuscript items held in the library are catalogued in France.

The archives’ organization is described in Madeleine Lenoir, “La documentation historique militaire en France,” Revue de défense nationale (Paris). numéro hors série (déc. 1952); J.-E. Roy, Rapport sur les archives de France [see section iii]. The archives consists of two collections, the historical archives and the administrative archives. A manuscript inventory is available at PAC: Louise Dechêne, “Inventaire analytique des documents relatifs à l’histoire du Canada conservés en France au Service historique de l’Armée.” The following series from the two collections were used in the preparation of volume IV: A: Archives antérieures à 1789 A1: Correspondance générale, opérations militaires.

This section preserves post-1815 documents relating to the colonies; pre-1815 material remains in the Section ancienne as the Fonds des Colonies [q.v.]. Two important series dealing with the earlier period are, however, to be found in the Section Outre-mer and were of use in the preparation of volume IV. Dépôt des fortifications des colonies. Series Amérique septentrionale and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon were used in the preparation of volume IV. A manuscript inventory of the various series is available at the AN.

__label__wiki	0.943891	0.943891	U.S. Raid on an Immigrant Household Deepens Anger and Mistrust by Ed Kent in All News [As one who has taught innumerable brilliant immigrants at a port of entry college, I am constantly appalled by the stereotyping and abuses of immigrants whose reports one must receive almost first hand to believe,Â given the paucity of reporting such as that below on our gulag activities — yes, we had one in Brooklyn where immigrants — many legitimate refugee applicants from tyrannical countries — were covertly held and brutalized.Â Â Others were students trying to update their visas — even one of our finest teachers was threatened with expulsion mid semester due to bureaucratic delays.Â Needless to say our immigrants are among our hardest workers and most productive contributors to our American life and economy at all levels — from picking fruits and vegetables to doing high tech things for which we seem unable to train and educate our own citizens.Â I recall once seeing a population density comparison of Britain and the U.S. — we had only 1/20 the inhabitantsÂ as the Brits per square mile! Â So presumably we have plenty of room for people with the courage and true grit to get themselves here and situated.Â Let not attacks on immigrants be the Republicans’ latest racist hit bit! The report below is a NY Times article passed along from ImmigrantRightsList@afsc.org — an American Friends Service Committee (Quakers)Â report on immigrant support activities. Ed Kent] By NINA BERNSTEIN EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – Awakened by banging on the front door and the shouts of strangers inside her family’s sprawling suburban home, Erica Leon, 12, thought at first that the house was on fire. Then her bedroom door burst open, she said, and armed men in blue bulletproof vests pushed in, demanding to know if she was hiding someone. They pressed on to the room where 4-year-old Carson was asleep with their mother, and pulled off the covers. “They started screaming at my mom real bad,” Erica said. “I wasn’t crying, but I was, like, terrified. Like, who are you guys?” They were federal immigration agents hunting for an illegal immigrant – Erica’s long-absent father, Patrizio Wilson Garcia, who was ordered deported after his 2003 divorce from Erica’s mother, Adriana, and has not lived in the house since. But they had entered a three-generation immigrant household where everyone was an American citizen by naturalization or birth. To the Leon family, Hispanics who have owned their house here on Copeces Lane for seven years, the early-morning raid on Feb. 20 seemed like the ultimate indignity in a history of hostile scrutiny. But to some residents, it was an overdue response by federal authorities to long-simmering concerns about illegal immigration on Long Island’s East Since 2000, neighbors’ complaints about the family’s volleyball games, their many cars, their living arrangements, even the fallen tree limbs in their yard, have prompted more than 18 inspections by town code enforcers and repeated surveillance by the town police, records show. Often officials found nothing to cite; occasionally they issued notices of violations that ended in court fines. Typically, the Leons complied with official demands, only to face fresh complaints. Federal immigration officials would not say what had prompted the raid, which swept into four other East Hampton houses and rounded up three dozen illegal immigrants. But the operation had nothing to do with town code enforcement, the officials said, or with Steve Levy, the Suffolk County executive, who has won national attention by vowing to move against illegal immigrants the federal government ignores. They also said Erica’s grandmother let them in, providing consent for a search that others in the household could not legally stop. Residents on both sides see the raid – the first in recent memory in this wealthy beachfront community – as the latest escalation in a wave of crackdowns driven by complaints against immigrants at every level of government. And it points to a sense of frustration in both camps that is making Suffolk County one of the hotbeds of the nation’s immigration “People here are fed up,” said Richard Herrlin, a neighbor of the Leons’ who welcomed the raid and described himself as a builder of $20 million mansions. “It’s possible the feds showed up because the town officials have done nothing for years, because the town is terrified of being accused of racial insensitivity.” For him and some others in the neighborhood, where large wooded lots and winding roads bring to mind rural New England, irritation over what they described as the Leons’ noise, trash and traffic has fed on deeper anger over an influx of Hispanic illegal immigrants on the East End. There are festering grievances about taxes, schools crowded with Spanish speakers and homes turned into rooming houses. For the Leons and other immigrant families, meanwhile, confusion over what civil rights, if any, apply in such raids heightens new feelings of vulnerability. “Your house is supposed to be where you’re safe, right?” said Andres Leon, 22, Erica’s uncle. “When you see police, you’re supposed to feel protected. But the way they acted, we don’t feel protected; we feel violated.” Ms. Leon, now remarried, had even obtained an order of protection against Mr. Garcia before their divorce ended his temporary legal status and led to the deportation order. In a strange twist, that became the legal basis for a Fugitive Operations team of seven agents to bang on the Leons’ door at 5 a.m. Like the family’s American life, the house, on 3.8 acres in a middle-class section, is still a work in progress. But it is now valued at about $1 million, nearly four times what the Leons paid for it in 2000, before they added 70 percent more finished space, step by step, with earnings from housecleaning, carpentry and a home beauty salon. The first to arrive in the United States, more than 25 years ago, was Ramon Leon, who works as a cabinetmaker for Central Kitchen Corporation in Southampton. It took him years to win permanent residency under the 1986 immigration amnesty, and years more to bring his wife, Elena, and three children – Adriana, Jazmin and Andres – to join him legally. Erica and her little sister had to be left behind in Ecuador for seven years and joined their mother only three years ago. The household now comprises six adults and five children. By the spring of 2002, neighbors were complaining that two volleyball courts built by the Leons had become the site of large, sometimes raucous sporting events that drew dozens of people. All over East Hampton, such games were a flashpoint between longtime residents and Latino immigrants, whose numbers were soaring. And the clashes fueled resentments that helped elect local politicians who promised to crack down on illegal immigrants or “quality of life” violations. Despite complaints and petitions, officials were unable to shut down the games. At the Leons’, for example, the East Hampton police reported no violations after surveillance over a three-day weekend in 2002 found 15 to 40 people, most of them playing volleyball; 20 vehicles “all registered and legally parked”; and “very little noise.” But the games had stopped by 2004, after Adriana, 30, married Norman Aguilar, who took over his father-in-law’s share of the mortgage. “I don’t want any problems,” said Mr. Aguilar, who was born in Costa Rica and is a manager at a newspaper distribution company, as well as an agent for a financial services company, Primerica. “I just want to live By then, however, neighborhood complaints seemed to have a life of their own. When Jazmin Leon opened her one-chair home beauty salon – allowed under the residential code – neighbors tried to shut it down over the scissors sign seen through the picture window. When Mr. Aguilar painted a rock white, a neighbor produced town surveys to show that it jutted over his property line by three or four inches. “My wife wanted to sell the house,” Mr. Aguilar said. “I told her no, anywhere you go, you’ll have the same problems. I feel like for us it’s, like, getting harder in this town. The laws that they’re putting on us, it’s, like, against Hispanic people.” Some residents say the town does not enforce codes the same way against city people in time shares, or houses crowded with Irish summer workers. “Profiling is not about who you raid, it’s who you don’t raid – who gets the winks and who gets the handcuffs,” said Amado Ortiz, 60, an American-born architect who joined the board of OLA, a Latino immigrant advocacy group, after being “radicalized,” he said, by an increasingly anti-Hispanic climate. William E. McGintee, the town supervisor, dismissed such complaints of bias as “nonsense.” “We don’t have a large influx of illegal immigrants from Russia,” he said. “We have Ecuadoreans, we have Peruvians, we have Mexicans. We don’t know who is living in those houses; we get complaints, and it’s complaint-driven.” But the limited effect of such complaints only heightens the frustration of residents like Lucinda Murphy, a registered nurse who volunteered that she and her husband, Sean, a television news producer, had often called the police about cars parked at the Leons’. Ms. Murphy, who has three children, voiced larger misgivings about illegal immigrants with children in the local school. She called them “freeloaders.” “I’m paying taxes, they’re not,” she said. “Yet their kids still get to go to school with the privileges of my kids. I resent it.” City dwellers with weekend houses on Copeces Lane have also complained about the Leons, upset that property values could be hurt by the less-upscale Latinos, said Richard Dunn, 65, an East Hampton teacher. “This is a town that’s driven by money and real estate,” he said. “People who are so concerned about Latinos feel they’re being driven His own house is cleaned by Adriana Leon and her mother. “I have nothing but good feelings for them,” he said. On the morning of the raid, Mr. Aguilar, 40, had already left for work. He returned to find the shaken family reading the Bible together in the For a time, the house became a gathering place for immigrants rounded up at other houses that morning, who were mostly released with notices to appear at deportation proceedings. Their accounts of the raids galvanized a group of local clergy, Hispanic activists and even a religious organization based in Costa Rica that flew in counselors. “It would appear that in the war against terrorism, agents of our nation are now acting in the role of terrorizers,” the group of local clergy, East End Clergy Concerned, wrote their congressman in a letter asking for an investigation. Mr. Aguilar tried to file a complaint about the raid with the town police but was rebuffed. “We don’t conduct investigations on another law enforcement agency,” Todd Sarris, the chief of police, explained. Nor was the raid a mistake, said Christopher Shanahan, director of deportation and removal for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the New York region. “We would like to find fugitive aliens at 100 percent of the locations we go to, but it’s not an exact science,” he said. No records are kept to show how often the teams find the fugitives they are seeking. And the rules for the searches are murky. Unlike a criminal search warrant, which requires a judge to review the evidence and find probable cause for a search, the “administrative warrant” used by immigration agents is approved only by the team’s supervisor – and is valid only with the consent of the occupants, Mr. Shanahan said. But in what he described as standard practice, that consent bears little resemblance to what laymen or constitutional scholars expect. Once Erica’s grandmother let agents over the threshold, Mr. Shanahan said, there was no turning back. “Due to officer safety needs, they can look into other areas, to clear rooms,” he said. But he added: “If officers did something to humiliate people, I want to know about it. We are very adamant that we want our officers to be professional.” On a recent afternoon, back from a seventh-grade civics lesson on the separation of powers, Erica spoke about what had changed since the raid. “My mom wanted me to sleep in her room so I wouldn’t be scared,” she said. “Sometimes, we have heard, they take parents away from the children, or they take children from the parents.” When the agents left, she remembered, “they said they might come back.” American Friends Service Committee welcomes you to share any information you have on LOCAL immigrant and refugee-related news, events, related position openings and volunteer needs (ie. interpreters, translators, visitors for detainees) in New York and New Jersey.

The past few months have been pretty busy with getting the final awesome, jaw dropping issue of that explosive hero Starbomb out and put to bed. Writing, penciling and inking a 48 page special takes time. Which is why todays review is about DC comics' longest running 12 issue limited series "Camelot 3000"! Camelot 3000 was cover dated December 1982. It was a limited "Maxi-Series". Meaning it was to only run 12 issues and was slated to be a monthly comic. Written by Mike W. Barr and drawn by Brian Bolland, this comic was seriously GOOD! Early '80's Bolland was a total treat to see. Try finding an entire one issue comic with his art in it now is almost impossible. This comic also showcased the inks of Bruce D. Patterson for the first half and the second half went to inker X-traordinare Terry Austin! I was as surprised as everyone else that Popeye wasn't drawn into the book. This series is exactly what it seems. It's the year 3000 in England and Earth has been over run with nasty, reptilian like aliens and there doesn't seem to be any hope left for mankind....until the main character Tom Prentiss, runs across an old crypt which houses the man that legend says will arise one day and reunite England in her most dire times. After awakening King Arthur, the two go on to find Merlin. Merlin gives Arthur the details of what he has to do to save the planet and Tom finds himself in a futuristic version of "The Once and Future King". This story deals a lot with reincarnation. Along with King Arthur coming back, Merlin is able to awaken 6 reincarnated souls to help Arthur as the new Knights of the (slightly smaller) Round Table! Guinivere has returned, as has Lancelot, Galahad, Gawain, Percival, Kay and Sir Tristan. Guinivere is an American Commander of the Allied Resistance, Lancelot is a French Billionaire, Galahad is a Japanese warrior and Gawain is from South Africa. The remaining 2, Percival and Tristan, find that reincarnation may not be so hot, as Percival is an "undesirable" and has been transformed into a 7 foot tall, mute monstrosity with near super human strength, and Sir Tristan is now "Lady" Tristan...not something a knight of old wants to find himself as. Basically, it's a "Save the world from Aliens" story, with the Arthurian legends as a background. Looking back at it though... I'd say it's simply the second chapter of the classic, "Once and Future King". It is very true to the source material and if Sir Thomas Malory was alive today, (Or then), I think he would've dug it! As the story progress', we find out the aliens aren't the only danger here. Morgain Le Fay is back as well...and if you've read any of the old King Arthur tales, you'd know that that spells trouble! This comic was kinda groundbreaking (at least, for American comics) on a few different levels. First, there was a slight hint of nudity throughout the book. Just look at Morgain Le Fay's outfit and you can guess where a lot of it came from. The comic also featured the first "girl kissing girl" scene that I'd come across in a comic. Lot's of graphic violence is in the comic as well....but it's no where near the stuff you'd see in today' comics. Everything was mostly hinted at....this wasn't the Authority! The biggest thing about this comic though, was the time it took to get this made! Like I said earlier, issue 1 was dated Dec. 1982. Issues 2,3,4 and 5 went along smoothly...then, the scheduling of the comic just went nuts! #5 was released in April and #6 came out in July. #7 was in August, so we all thought, "Yay, the wait is over!" Boy, were we wrong. Between August 1983 and April 1985, issues 8-12 were released. Nowadays, when the young kids get all mad and stuff that All Star Batman is a month late or The newest Avengers comic was postponed till the following week, I just look back and let those whippersnappers know we waited a whole 2 and a half YEARS for issue 12 to come out! And we liked it!! But I guess that's history now, because YOU, o' frantic reader, can run out and get all these 12 gems of Arthurian goodness in a trip to the back issue bin. It's the comic version of waiting till your favorite show goes on Netflix! I just re-read all 12 issues and I can honestly say...if you like a great story with superb characterization that keeps with the spirit of all the legends that came before it, along with eye popping Brian Freakin' Bolland artwork....you'll love this run! Originally, the books cost $1.00, and later $1.25. You may pay the same or slightly more for the back issues, but it's well worth it! Go out now...support your local comic book store and buy these issues!	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3683
__label__wiki	0.650706	0.650706	Davos Newbies A regular Davos of the mind Deakin lecture Flaky Chomsky Emma Brockes interviews Noam Chomsky in The Guardian: “It’s clear, suddenly, that Chomsky’s opinion can be as flaky as the next person’s; he just states it more forcefully.” This entry was posted in Observation on October 31, 2005 by lance. Paul Begala: “When a White House is under siege, no one wants to talk to anyone. Literally, anything you say can and will be used against you. When you’re in a meeting and you see one of your colleagues taking notes, you start to wonder how long it will be before you’re interrogated based on her notes. Maybe she’s doodling. Or maybe she’s digging your grave. The mind tries to focus on the task at hand, but the grand jury is never far from your thoughts.” You look for info about Bernanke and look what you find So I was reading Tyler Cowen’s unrivalled coverage of Ben Bernanke (more from Tyler here), and I stumbled on his post about his (that is Tyler’s) iPod recommendations. What a great list. Clearly an economist with impeccable musical tastes. Bernanke at Fed If Brad DeLong is happy, that’s good enough for me. Frightened silence? Dan Gillmor on the baffling silence of US corporate executives in the battle against so-called intelligent design: I asked Benhamou whether it was the duty of executives to speak out when the president of the US suggests that science classes be required to teach “intelligent design” as an alternative to evolution. They absolutely should speak out, he said. It’s a fact, he observed, that today’s knowledge-based companies need people “whose minds are trained on knowledge and scientific fact, and not mixed up with this creationism bullshit.” I then asked if he could name anyone in a prominent corporate position who’d actually spoken out in this way. He could not, he said with what sounded like regret: “It’s hard to be caught on TV saying these things, but it’s particularly important now. I feel quite worried that we’re passive about it.” I’m particularly glad that Dan has picked up the outrageous anomaly of the Gates Foundation providing funding to the Discovery Institute. I couldn’t believe it when I read it in The New York Times but I was beginning to think no one else found that astonishing. Levitt on Schelling Some blogs by well-known academics work well (notably the Becker-Posner blog), but others are disappointments. For me, the Freakonomics blog is decidedly in the latter category. I was lukewarm about the book, but I enjoy reading the economic investigations of Steven Levitt. Sadly, the blog is more a relentless promotional tool for the book and, now, the occasional New York Times column. Fortunately, the pattern is broken today with Levitt’s recollections of his class with Nobel prizewinner Thomas Schelling. A charming, must-read both on Schelling and on Levitt’s views on the utility – or otherwise – of game theory. To my mind, Schelling represents the very best of game theory. He was a pioneer in the field, a man of ideas. Unfortunately for game theory, the simple ideas that are so alluring were quickly mined. What followed was less interesting. Modern game theory has become extremely mathematical, notation heavy, and removed from everyday life. Many of my colleagues would not agree with me, but I think game theory has failed to deliver on its enormous initial promise. I’m not the only one who feels this way. I was recently speaking with a prominent game theorist. He told me that if he knew what he knew and he were just getting started in the profession today, no way would he be a game theorist. Look Maam, no hands Tom Peters: “My colleague and pal, Harry Rhoads, co-founder of the Washington Speakers Bureau, was over here for Mrs Thatcher’s 80th birthday party last week. The Queen attended, and apparently as the peons were being briefed on etiquette, they were informed that if they stuck their hand out for a (harmless) shake of the Royal Hand, it would be slapped away by a hovering attendant. After Harry’s report on this in an email, I replied in a one-line email, ‘That’s why we fought the damn war in 1776.’ Yes, I remain a steadfast Yankee Doodle Dandy.” From the country that invented diplomatic language That bastion of free trade thinking, France, has decided to throw a massive spanner in the European works — again. After EU trade ministers reached agreement on their stance in the Doha round negotiations, France decided to throw its toys out of the pram. I want to be positive about the future of Europe, but France’s attitude in particular makes it very difficult. So long as European decisions go its way, there’s no country more communitaire than the hexagon. But when decisions go against them, there’s no country quicker to go off in a huff. Thinking back 100 years I love the kind of speculation that Chris Bertram has provoked at Crooked Timber. After the relatively uninteresting list Prospect has produced of the top 100 public intellectuals today, Bertram asks his readers for a retrospective top 100 from 1905. When I was running the program for the 2000 Davos meeting, I wrote an article imagining the program for the 1900 meeting (which, of course, didn’t exist). It was an attempt to be humble about our ability to see what will truly be important over the next year, decade or century. Here it is, courtesy of the great Internet Archive: The recent discovery of the programme for the 1900 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos was surprising for a number of reasons. First, although vague stories of an earlier incarnation of the Forum have long circulated, in the absence of solid evidence Davos participants had come to accept that it had only existed for 30 years. The second surprise was the circumstances of the discovery itself: who would have thought that the battered, waterlogged box uncovered by one of vice-president Al Gore’s sniffer dogs in Davos last January would hold such a treasure? Third, of course, was the content of the meeting. Period charm abounds in the details of the meeting. Participants in 1900 were invited to a demonstration by Guglielmo Marconi of his wireless telegraph. In the mountain fastness, this must have been the first time speedy communication was available from Davos (today’s participants, lamenting the analogue switching that still prevails in the town, may wonder whether it has even yet arrived). In the sessions, today’s reader is struck by both the similarities and differences from today’s concerns. From the organisation of the corporate plenaries, it was already evident that the US would be one of the great economic powers of the century: huge, integrated enterprises were redrafting the notion of the firm. Fresh-minted titans like Federal Steel’s Elbert Gary, Carnegie Steel’s Charles Schwab and George Westinghouse stalked the Congress Centre with assurance. Only Germany, of the European powers, could compete: the executives from Krupp, Thyssen and Siemens often shared the platform with the Americans. Like today, an extraordinary wave of consolidation was sweeping through industry: in the US, between 1897 and 1904, 4,277 industrial firms consolidated into 257. Technology was opening up new horizons, not least in healthcare. Bayer, founded in 1891, had introduced aspirin in 1899 and was discussing it in an interactive session; William Lever’s soap was bringing inexpensive hygiene to the masses the subject of a Friday dinner. But from our vantage point 100 years later, it seems remarkable how blind the earlier organisers of Davos were. Perhaps the technological blindspots are understandable: no mention of the car (there were only 8,000 in the US at the time and the bicycle makers of France were leading the nascent industry); science sessions focused on chemistry, rather than the physics that transformed both our worldview and warfare; references to manned flight were confined to a humorous dinner led by a sceptical clergyman. More worrying are the geopolitical and societal gaps. The Colonial Office’s Joseph Chamberlain and prime minister Ernst von Koerber from Emperor Franz Josef’s court in Vienna seemed confident that empires would preserve a century of peace and prosperity (there is no record as to whether anyone challenged Chamberlain about the Boer War). No participants attended from outside Europe and North America. There were no women and no one under 40. Were the men (and it was just men) responsible for the 1900 programme that bad at their job? For those of us orchestrating the 2000 programme, the answer is a sobering no. The prime lesson of Davos 1900 is a warning against forecasting hubris. Charting the century is an exercise verging on the random; even a decade is largely a matter of chance. With fairly little thought, it is evident that foretelling the truly important forces for the century was impossible. Why single out the contest between democracy and dictatorship, or free markets and state-controlled markets in a world before the word fascism existed and before the Russian revolution? Why focus on the changing role of women or the transformation of Asia or the end of empire? There were, to be sure, writers and thinkers who discussed these chimeras in the coffee-houses of Vienna or the cafes of Paris, but they were hardly the people who would be invited to Davos 1900.

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF HAS NO OFFICIAL '15 GRADS The Rochester School for the Deaf is a very small institution. That comes with benefits and drawbacks. There are sometimes fewer than five students in a classroom, allowing for an intimacy unrivaled at larger schools. But such low numbers can also be a cause for concern. This year, for only the second time in its 139-year history, the school on St. Paul Street has no official graduating class. The oddity reflects a national decline in the number of students classified as hearing-impaired and the resulting struggle for schools for the deaf to maintain their enrollment. / Democrat and Chronicle Oakley, CA PROGRAM FOR DEAF SCHOOLCHILDREN IN DANGER OF CLOSING A respected program for deaf schoolchildren that attracted students from school districts throughout East Contra Costa is in danger of closing, leaving parents wondering how they're going to fill the void. A group of parents and students recently pleaded with the Oakley Union Elementary School District board to do more to save the program, which is in danger of closing both its middle school and elementary school branches due to a staffing shortage. / Contra Costa Times LAWSUIT: SIGN-LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS FAIL TO COMMUNICATE Attorney Amy Robertson at the Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center said that deaf people often encounter unqualified and sometimes inept interpreters in high-stakes situations like medical procedures, social services encounters and school meetings.

Mason, who is also deaf and homeless, admitted he was mistaken as part of a legal settlement, and formally recanted his accusation. Zemedagegehu has filed a lawsuit against the Arlington County Sheriff, for failing to meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. / NBC4 Washington RAISING FUNDS FOR THE BOHLIS, VICTIMS OF HOUSE FIRE On June 24, a massive fire destroyed a home owned by a deaf couple, Robert and Thelma Bohli. The Bohlis are highly respected in the deaf community. The Bohlis have contributed a lot of their time and leadership within the Deaf community. The Bohlis are eldery and starting over may be difficult for them. They lost everything in the fire. Donating funds will help them gain necessities for them to survive and hopefully find a new home. / GoFundMe VRS PROVIDERS EXPRESS DISAPPOINTMENT WITH FCC RATES The six U.S. providers of Video Relay Service (VRS) said a June 30 FCC order regarding the rates paid for telecommunication relay services is a missed opportunity to improve VRS, expand its offerings, and uphold the Americans with Disabilities Act's promise of functionally equivalent telecommunication services for people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing. They called for the immediate issuance of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and an expedited comment and decision process on a proposal they submitted to the Commission earlier this year. / PRNewswire DEAF WOMAN TRIES TO GET LICENSE, RUNS INTO ROADBLOCKS A New Mexico woman, who’s deaf, says she feels discriminated against by the state after trying to get her license time and time again, but always met roadblocks. Cheyenne Price and her sister Casey have set Cheyenne up with appointments to take her driver’s license road test. She was told she needed an interpreter and the state would set one up. When she returned for her next appointment, she was told they didn’t have one for her and after being told someone in her family could be an interpreter, she returned for another appointment and they told her she still couldn’t. / KRQE FAMILY WITH DEAF SON GETS SPEED LIMIT SIGN PUT UP A Dayton family is glad to see a speed limit sign on their street after they've been asking the city for one to remind drivers to slow down in their neighborhood. The family of a deaf child, Randall Bane, say they have been pushing for a speed limit sign and other speed deterrents for years. "I appreciate them putting a sign up," said Bane's grandmother, Debbie Sterling, "it's little steps." / WKEF Mysuru, India 16 SPEECH-, HEARING-IMPAIRED CHILDREN STILL UNTRACEABLE Sixteen speech and hearing impaired children from a State-run residential school in Mysuru, who have been missing since January this year, are still untraceable. The children, aged between 12 and 14, were studying at the Government School For The Deaf and The Dumb, which is run by the Department of Women and Child Development, at Bamboo Bazaar in Tilaknagar here. The school had lodged two complaints with the Mandi Mohalla police — one on January 21 stating that nine children were missing, and another on May 4 after seven children went untraceable. / The Hindu DEAF-BLIND PHYSIO STUDENT A MODEL FOR HER TEACHERS Shruti Singh, a third-year Bachelor of Physiotherapy student at the Blind People`s Association (BPA), is slowly losing her eyesight and power of hearing because of a rare genetic disorder. Yet, in what is undoubtedly a sign of great courage, her ailment has not affected her spirit or her faith in herself. She has a hundred experiences to share and a hundred dreams to talk about though she is aware that she may become completely deaf and blind in the future. / NYOOOZ DEAF TEEN DEEMED 'MEDICALLY INADMISSIBLE' CAN NOW JOIN MOTHER IN CANADA Facing public outrage, Ottawa has reversed an earlier decision and will now let a deaf girl it deemed “medically inadmissible” join her Filipino caregiver mother in Canada. But the move wasn’t without a twist. Late Tuesday afternoon, Karen Talosig received an email from the Canadian visa post in Manila saying: “Please see the attached letter regarding your permanent residency application.” “I was shaking but then disappointed because there was no file attached,” recalled Talosig. / The Flamborough Review DEAF MAN TAKES B.C. MINISTRY TO HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL OVER DELAYS IN INCOME ASSISTANCE When Christopher Shay applied for income assistance in September, he was at his wit’s end. Shay, who is deaf, had applied for various jobs but failed to find employment. Worried about paying the rent, he applied for income assistance on Sept. 30, specifying “immediate needs,” a request which, according to the ministry’s own service standards, should have been addressed on the same business day. But it took the 42-year-old five weeks to receive a welfare cheque — an outrageous waiting period, said advocates, for someone who needed help immediately. / The Province High River, AB, Canada HEARING AIDS TO HELP DEAF NEPALESE STUDENTS A donation drive for old hearing aids in working order is now underway in High River. For the recipients—deaf children in earthquake devastated Nepal—these devices will mean the world. High River is home for Elsie James, 80, but for almost two decades, she has spent months of each year volunteering with charity organizations in and around Kathmandu, Nepal. The Swabalambi school for deaf children is one such project and will receive the donated and reconditioned hearing aids. / High River Times Cornwall, England VIRTUALLY DEAF WOMAN SAVES SAILORS AFTER HEARING THEIR CRIES FOR HELP WITH NEW HEARING AID A virtually deaf pensioner saved the lives of two capsized sailors when she heard their desperate cries for help -- while trying out her new hearing aids. Christine Bowden, 77, was sitting in the garden when she heard a man screaming for help half a mile out to sea. The retired secretary was using two new hearing aids she picked up the previous day. Christine said: “They were very lucky as I had only just got my hearing aids. “I was virtually deaf before and had them for less than 24 hours. / Mirror BUS DRIVERS LEARN SIGN LANGUAGE TO HELP DEAF CUSTOMERS In support of Catch the Bus Week, the nationwide campaign aimed at driving awareness of the benefits of taking the bus, First Glasgow is going the extra mile to help customers with hearing problems. Drivers are being offered the opportunity to learn sign language so they can communicate better with customers who have hearing difficulties. Two drivers made bosses aware that some of their regular customers have impaired hearing. First Glasgow’s learning representative, Ian Graham, arranged for drivers to have access to specialist teaching resources. / FirstGroup plc EXPO STAFF MISTAKE DEAF PENSIONER FOR ANARCHIST Deaf and mute pensioner, Giovan Giuseppe Nasti, 75, was visting the Milan Expo with Korean friends when he was stopped at the entrance by Expo staff, who thought he belonged to the Black Bloc anti-capitalism anarchist group because the black and white T-shirt he was wearing bore the same colors as the one worn by members of the group. But the garment, in fact, contained the words "No deaf - No Expo"in white writing. The T-shirts are part of the national institute for the deaf's repeated complaints that the Milan Expo lacks appropriate signage for those hard of hearing. / The Local BRACELET AND RINGS TRANSLATE SIGN LANGUAGE This recipient of a Red Dot design award may be just a concept, but it has a lot of potential. Designed by students at Asia University, the Sign Language Ring aims to solve the problem of communication with the hearing impaired. It consists of a bracelet and a set of six rings that snap on to the side. When deployed, three rings per hand, they use motion sensors to track the motions of the wearer's hands and fingers, translating the sign language into spoken words, which are then played by a speaker on the bracelet. / CNET UNIQUE TRIP GIVES THE DEAF A TASTE OF ISRAEL As thousands of young Jews visit Israel this summer on Taglit-Birthright Israel trips, one group is specifically catering for those with hearing impairments or deafness.

MISS SAN ANTONIO SHINES AS DEAF PAGEANT QUEEN Miss San Antonio, Emma Rudkin, made Alamo City history this year as the first deaf woman to win the crown. A sophomore at the University of Texas at San Antonio, Rudkin suffered an ear infection at age 3 that caused her to lose the majority of her hearing. At the time, doctors told her parents she would never learn to speak clearly or attend a “normal” school. After years of speech therapy, Rudkin has defied the odds, not only by learning to speak but also by learning to sing and play three instruments. / San Antonio Magazine DEAF MOTHER OF THREE RECEIVES HABITAT HOME Single mother Ann Marie Mudge was used to squeezing into a one-bedroom apartment with her children. The deaf mother of three couldn't afford to buy a house, but with the help of Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter that changed. After months of watching more than 100 volunteers construct her new home, Mudge, 40, is due today [June 26] to pick up the keys of her first home. / Orlando Sentinel HEARING LOSS DOESN'T LIMIT BRIMFIELD GIRL They fell into the routine early on in the life of their first-born child; two books at bedtime, every night, no excuse to skip. Sawyer Drury was almost 3 before Clint and Sarah Drury learned with certainty that their daughter never heard a word they read. “We read to her religiously every night. When the doctors figured it out that she had hearing loss we were like, oh man, we somewhat wasted three years,” Clint Drury said this week, able to laugh, a little, knowing how well everything turned out. “Our only regret was we didn’t figure it out earlier.” / Peoria Journal Star SHE PAVED THE WAY FOR HELEN KELLER Helen Keller is remembered as “a guiding example of courage, hope, and achievement,” but in the 19th century she was known as merely “the second Laura Bridgman.” That’s right: Laura Bridgman—does the name ring a bell? Probably not.

__label__cc	0.574511	0.425489	Who hates religion in fiction? I'm always wary about reviews that talk about how a book is "too religious." Not even that it's religious message fic (which sucks) but that the character has religion, or is religious at all. Sometimes I think there are people out there who are hurt at the mere mention of religion in a novel. And I'm not talking about religious themes, or concepts, or overtones, but religion itself. What moron thinks like that? This is basic, dirt-stupid cultural anthropology. We're somehow going to have a world completely and utterly devoid of religion? What evangelical atheist paradise is this? I mean, heck, a world devoid of all Judeo-Christian mythos will still have pagans. Just look at L Jagi Lamplighter's Rachel Griffin books if you don't believe me. But to discount religion or religious characters, there goes half of David Weber, most of Larry Correia and at least two entire series by John Ringo. Hell, there goes Terry Goodkind and his made-up nuns in The Sword of Truth. There even goes William Lehman's books. There goes Ann Margaret Lewis, Karina Fabian, Richard Paolinelli, John C. Wright.... How about Chronicles of Narnia? Is that going into the wood-chipper too? I'm sure that Tolkein barely gets a pass, because his books were supposed to be a "pre-Christian" mythos, but he himself is Catholic. But, heck, even the new Wonder Woman film made Ares sound like the Judeo-Christian Satan. I guess that goes down the crapper. "I don't like religion in my stories" ... yeah, good luck with finding something completely and utterly devoid of faith. I wonder if people like this were offended by Captain America's line that "There's only one God, and he doesn't dress like [Loki or Thor]." Because, you know, that was a line written by an atheist. Even Joss Whedon respects the religion of character more than some people. But I do try to get my head around this concept or having no religion. Are we now in a position where everyone is supposed to have one, monotonal thought process of Atheism? This is, of course, excluding the idea that Atheism itself is a religion. If you don't believe me, go out and meet the anti-theist branch sometime (THE IDEA OF GOD IS EVIL AND SO ARE THEIR FOLLOWERS), instead of the more libertarian branch ("I don't believe, and I don't care if you do. Next"). I'm sorry, but I'm generally open to all ideas and all thought processes. I read Eric Flint, atheist Communist. I read John Ringo, Recovering semi-Catholic. David Weber and Timothy Zahn, who are both ministers, if I recall correctly. John and Jagi Wright. Richard Paolinelli, who believes in God, and it's in his books. Larry the Mormon Correia. Seriously, in order to pull something like that, I can only conclude one would have to be some sort of anti-religious SJW-zealot who hates religion in general. They're the only ones closed-minded enough to be offended by a character who might even have a religion. I mean, good God, congratulations, there goes Dracula, by Bram Stoker. That had the Eucharist! They're Catholics involved! OMG! I can only conclude that this is particularly painful to read. Even Die Hard has religious Catholics. The McClanes! It's directly referenced in movies 1-3. Congratulations, that's enough to be hated by this sort of person. And anyone who hates Die Hard simply and absolutely HAS NO SOUL. I'm sorry, wrapping my brain around a secular universe makes my brain hurt. This is in defiance of all basic cultural anthropology. Despite statements made by random philosophers, there has not now, nor has there ever been, in the history of the world, a society that is purely secular or atheistic. The closest we get in America are Deists among the founding fathers, but that list also includes Reverends, so that's an interesting conversation. The first person who cites Thomas Jefferson will have to justify every contradictory statement Jefferson ever made, and citing the Creator in the first line of the Declaration of Independence. But religion is a thing. It is a part of any society. Ancient Greeks made being an atheist a capital crime -- if you didn't pray to Athena in Athens, you obviously didn't have the interests of the city at heart, and you had to go. Now, granted, sure, I've had some people make books that are religious message fiction. That, of course, can be problematic. Because message fiction is message fiction, no matter the message. The problem isn't necessarily the message -- Hell, I like the "save the whales" film, Star Trek IV, but that's because it was funny -- but the execution of story, plot and characters .... usually, that there is little to none of any of the above. But one cannot lump that in with Narnia, or Rachel Griffin or anything by John C Wright has written. To do so is BS. Heck, even my novel, A Pius Man has religious characters in it ... a Jew, a Muslim, a half-dozen Catholics. Which one gets hated upon the most? Technically, the story itself isn't religious, as it centers on a historical element. But there are priests and Popes, and rosaries, and the historical MacGuffin is around the Pope of World War II. I'm certain that's enough to get those who hate religion to sniff and wave, "move along. Go find your own kind. To the back of the bus with you." As Jeffro Johnson pointed out in his Appendix N, religion in fiction goes all the way back into the Pulps, where Christianity can rout the fae, God can be a player. Heck, look at Superversive SF, which is also welcoming to God. And then there's SuperversiveSF, the blog. God, faith, and religion are all over the place. You can't escape it. And this is why I think that Superversive SF and Jeffro's Pulp Revolution are probably the future of science fiction and fantasy. There are no gate keeping here. There's no snobbish, anti-religious bias that I've seen. I don't even think there's an anti-left bias, as long as one avoids going full SJW, but I could be mistaken. It's nice that, among the SVSF / Pulp folk, there's an open, accepting atmosphere where even a freak like me can feel welcome. Illegitimi non carborundum Anyway you're interest, A Pius Man might just be your cup of tea. Just click here, and you can preorder it. And, if you've done that....

__label__wiki	0.949669	0.949669	NEWS ARCHIVES 2015-16 season's archived News 2016-17 season's archived News Archives: News – 2016-17 Scotland beat NZ on way to winning London 7s. South blitz at Braidholm 7s. Scotland have beaten New Zealand for the first time ever at rugby and the Scottish team went on to win the London 7s for the second year running! Coming from 0-21 down at half time in the London 7s Cup Quarter Final the team dug deep with four tries in the second period to win 24-21. A tremendous way to mark the retirement of Melrose Olympic silver medalist Mark Robertson. Melrose’s Scott Wight was also part of the squad and will now go on to coach the Scotland’s Women’s team. Scotland’s 7s coach is another Melrose man, Calum MacRae, who will move on to be Edinburgh Rugby defence coach at the end of this 7s weekend. Listen to Mark and Scott’s message from their hotel room here. Meanwhile the South of Scotland blitzed a Minerva team packed with Scottish club rugby stars 52-0 in the Final of the Braidholm 7s in Glasgow yesterday. Coming through their Pool with three straight wins, they won the semi final against Commonwealth Crusaders to take their place in the final. A Keith Davies hat-trick in the first few minutes of the game laid the foundations as the team made up of the best of available Borders players went on to score eight tries in total.

Hawick announce five new signings for next season Hawick are quick out of the blocks to announce five signing for next season, with former Scotland international Craig Hamilton joining them as a player-coach. The 38 year old from Newcastle has been playing for Falkirk for the past two seasons but he admitted he couldn’t resist a phone call from Hawick captain Bruce McNeil, who played with him a few seasons ago at Wigton, when Bruce invited him to join the Greens. The younger brother of former Gala players Gary and George Graham, Guy, will also be joining Hawick from Carlisle. The tough 18 year old flanker is relishing the opportunity to play Premiership rugby and coming from tremendous stock (the son of ex Gala coach and former Scotland Prop George Graham) he is bound to be one to watch. Former Kelso player Dom Buckley swops the black-and-white hoops for a green jersey and he will be one of many fighting for a starting berth in the Hawick backline. Matty Carryer moves from Gala, where he was voted both Player of the Year and Player’s Player of the Year a few nights ago, to continue his career in the Premiership. Making up the quintet is former Hawick Prop Nicky Little, who returns to Mansfield Park following stints at Melrose and St Boswells. Watch interviews with all five, plus captain Bruce McNeil here. Watsonians crowned K7s Champions as they carry off three trophies at Jed 7s Watsonians were the well-deserved K7s Champions this season and they ended up with a third win in the tournament by picking up the Jedforest 7s title for the first time since 2008. This was in addition to the K7s trophy itself which has only been in their possession once before eight years ago. They also retained the Macari Cup for becoming the top non-Borders team in the tournament. Watsonians beat Jedforest 36-19 in the final having put out Melrose 19-14 in the semi final. Jed knocked out Gala 17-15 in a close encounter which came down to a difficult conversion to win the game, which Lewis Young kicked successfully. Watch the Final here. Semi Final highlights are available here. Top Tries from the tournament can be viewed here. There was also a fun moment at the event when Callum Young scored two tries for the Jedforest President’s VII containing Jed players against their own Jedforest team and decided to celebrate them in unique style. Needless to say their game in tie 1 wasn’t the most competitive of games. Watch what happened here. Melrose retain Selkirk 7s trophy Melrose collected their second win of the season in the Kings of the 7s tournament with a win at Selkirk’s event to retain their title from last year. They beat Selkirk in the final after putting out Gala in the semis. Watsonians are already winners of the K7s title but Melrose are a clear second and are favourites now to be the top Borders side. Greig Laidlaw added to Lions tour as Ben Youngs pulls out Former Jedforest scrum half and Scotland captain, Greig Laidlaw, will be going on tour with the British and Irish Lions to New Zealand after he was called up to replace Ben Youngs. Ben has withdrawn for family reasons after hearing the devastating news of his brother’s wife being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Our thoughts are with Ben and his family. Watsonians are Kings of the 7s Watsonians have secured the Kings of the 7s title despite being knocked out at the semi final stage at the Earlston tournament yesterday. The City side claimed their second title after winning for the first time back in 2009. They were knocked out by Gala, who went on to beat Jedforest in the final, with Melrose the other semi-finalists. The Maroons’ Paul Hendry was voted Player of the Tournament. The next round at Selkirk takes place on Saturday 6th May before the final round of the tournament at Jedforest’s own event on May 13th, when Watsonians will get their hands on the trophy. Watch highlights of the Final here. Hawick retain Premiership status – Watsonians lift Kelso 7s title Hawick have won their tense BT Premiership/National 1 Play-off match at Lasswade against Edinburgh Accies, coming from 6-20 down to win 23-20 in a thrilling encounter, bagging two tries from John Coutts and skipper Bruce McNeil, with Lee Armstrong’s reliable boot kicking valuable points to ensure a place at the top table of Scottish Club Rugby next season. Watch report here. Watch TV highlights with commentary here. At the Kelso 7s tournament – round 7 of the Kings of the 7s – Watsonians triumphed with a 27-26 win over Jedforest in the Final, giving them a big 21 point lead at the top of the table from Melrose. This means a win at Earlston tomorrow will give Watsonians the title of Kings of the 7s with two tournaments still to play. Watch the final here. Melrose win Booker Border League title It has taken six years for them to win it, but the impressive Border League Trophy is back inside the trophy cabinet at The Greenyards following a 35-7 win at Poynder Park, Kelso, against Gala last night. Melrose had won the Scottish Cup four days earlier against Ayr and this time they dipped into the Melrose Storm side to replace some of their key players following the Cup Final. Within a few minutes Melrose were 14-0 up with tries by Jason Baggott and Cammy MacKay. Baggott scored another with two others coming from Grant Runciman and Iain Moody. Baggott kicked four of the five conversions with Craig Jackson adding the other. There was no more scoring for Melrose in the second period as Gala got rid of some of the rustiness which comes from not playing a game in two months. To their credit they managed the only score of the second half with South Africans Rob Louw and Paul Hendry linking up well to give Hendry the scoring pass. Gregor Hunter added the extras but it was mere consolation as Melrose held on to win and lift the Border League Trophy for the first time since 2011. Watch highlights here. Melrose end 10 year jinx with Cup Win at BT Murrayfield – Kelso win Borders Rankings trophy – Selkirk win Langholm 7s Their last five visits to the National Stadium saw Melrose on the losing end in the BT Cup Final, but yesterday they finally got their hands on the Scottish Cup after 10 years of trying as they defeated Ayr 23-18, reversing the result form seven days ago when they went down at home to the same opposition in the BT Premiership Final. Three tries from Grant Runciman, George Taylor and Nyle Godsmark to two from Ayr was enough to give Melrose the title. Watch Match report here. Watch special video of Melrose’s big day out here. Kelso’s season ended in National 2 following promotion last week with a comprehensive 55-38 win at Aberdeenshire. The significance of the game was that they needed a bonus point win to climb past Melrose to win the trophy as the Borders team who produced the most average match points per game in all their league matches this season. They averaged 4.36 points per game over 22 matches, to edge out Melrose’s 4.33 in their 18 games in the Premiership. It is the first time the name of Kelso has been engraved on the trophy which gives all Borders teams playing at National and Premiership standard the chance to win in a handicapped system. Scottish Hydro Electric put up the award several years ago to ensure all clubs had a chance to win it. Each club playing at their own league level has their total match points divided by the games played in their division to give an average per match. Hawick Harlequins have already won the Fraser James Partnership trophy for the similar system involving Borders teams in the East League. Also yesterday Jedforest played their penultimate game in National 1, losing 46-35 to Aberdeen Grammar, while in National 2 Peebles ended their league season with a fine win at Whitecraigs 61-34. In the Belhaven Riverside Rock Kings of the 7s Round 6 at Langholm, the 99th playing of the tournament saw the sixth different winner in the six rounds as Selkirk overcame K7s table toppers Watsonians in a thrilling final 24-21. Watch the final here. Stuart Hogg named as one of only two Scots in the 41-strong British & Irish Lions party for New Zealand tour Hawick Full Back Stuart Hogg has, as expected, been named today in the British & Irish Lions tour party for the New Zealand tour in June, along with Tommy Seymour. There are no forwards from Scotland but the hope is that there will still be opportunities for some Scottish players to still make the trip when inevitable injuries on or before the tour will provide opportunities for other players unlucky to gain selection. Scotland’s big defeat at Twickenham would probably have had an effect on selection, although Scotland’s mauling of Wales at BT Murrayfield hasn’t appeared to have spoilt the chances of the strong Welsh contingent who came off second best that day. Scots do not have any coaches on the team (Gregor Townsend turned down the chance as he, understandably wanted to lead Scotland on their own summer tour to play Italy, Fiji and Australia) but it has meant that the case of Scots players to be part of the Lions squad has not been able to be argued within that area of the Lions coaching infrastructure. There were strong arguments from fans of Scottish Rugby for the inclusion of Finn Russell, Greig Laidlaw, the Gray brothers, Hamish Watson, W P Nel (if fit) and others, and some may still get the chance, but with two Scotland reps in the party this is the lowest Scottish total in a touring party, even lower than the three selected four years ago. So Scotland, ranked fifth in the world, will go on their summer tour with a very strong squad, and on a positive note, this will give new Head Coach Gregor Townsend a big advantage for his preparations leading into the 2018 6 Nations and the 2019 World Cup, to be able to work with a squad who will mostly be involved over the next two important years. Jedforest land the Berwick 7s title In Round 5 of the Belhaven Riverside Rock Kings of the 7s at Berwick, Jedforest became the fifth side to lift a title this season with a good win in the final against Watsonians 33-27. Watsonians stay 14 points clear at the top of the table. Both Melrose and Peebles made it through their pools to take part in the semi final stage. Watch the final here. Watch the semi finals here.

Melrose miss out on Premiership title – Kelso promoted to NL1 – Peebles and St Boswells fall short in promotion bid – Gala win Hawick 7s In a packed Saturday of rugby there was heartbreak and joy for our local teams in the Borders. Despite scoring the only try of the game through Ruaridh Knott, Melrose lost their BT Premiership Final at home to Ayr 8-12, and despite ending the season on top of the table, it’s Ayr who become Scottish Premiership Champions by winning the Play-off Final, with four Frazier Climo penalties proving decisive at The Greenyards. There are those who believe a league should be a league, and play-offs shouldn’t come into it, but rules are rules and before the 18 games were played at the start of the season all clubs knew what the situation was, however, many will hope that there will be a change in the future and that Scottish Club Rugby will follow the English Championship in scrapping the controversial format. But putting that aside, it was a gutsy display by Ayr who had to win it the hard way at the ground of rivals Melrose who had not lost a game since October. Jason Baggott kicked Melrose’s other points with a penalty. The two teams do battle again next week at the home of Scottish Rugby for the chance to win the BT Cup, and for Melrose, who have lost their last five finals at the National Stadium, they will be desperate to put this result to the back of their minds and reverse today’s result. Watch highlights here. In the big game at Poynder Park Kelso beat Peebles 17-11 to secure promotion back to National League 1 but they didn’t collect a bonus point, so Cartha Queens Park go up as National 2 Champions. In Division 3 St Boswells had the chance to not only get promoted but to win the Third Division, however things didn’t go as planned and they lost at home to Dumfries 5-24 to end their campaign in fourth place, just falling short of landing their fourth straight promotion. In the Hawick 7s, Gala were the surprise winners for the first time since 1996 when they came from 19-10 down in the quarter final against Jedforest to win that game, then knock out Edinburgh Accies 39-10 before defeating Watsonians 26-24 in the Final. Watsonians stay on top of the Belhaven Riverside Rock Kings of the 7s table with a clear lead from Edinburgh Accies, Melrose and Gala ahead of Round 5 at Berwick tomorrow. Watch the final here. Jedforest lift Hawick Linden 7s title Jedforest became the fourth different club in four tournaments to have their names engraved on the Hawick Linden 7s trophy as they beat the hosts 45-7 in the final of the tournament which took place on the 3G pitch at Volunteer Park in Hawick. Jed saw off Hawick Harlequins in the semi final 24-19 while in the other semi Gala YM lost out to Hawick Linden 19-12. Linden’s John Frew was voted Player of the Tournament. Melrose fall short against Harlequins in front of bumper crowd at their own Sevens Melrose managed to get to their own final to face the pro side from England, Harlequins, in what would be a replay of the final 30 years ago when the Mighty Quins triumphed back in 1987. Quins were clinical at the breakdown, turning over ball and making the best use of it when in their hand, and, led by captain Charlie Walker, who was voted Player of the Tournament, got home 31-19 to win the famous trophy. Melrose were without Fraser Thomas and Ross McCann through injury, yet drew on all their resources to battle right to the end. Austin Lockington had an outstanding tournament, running in some important game-clinching tries, but the whole of their squad played their part as they got past Dundee High, Selkirk and the Irish National 7s team (under the guise of The Co-Optimists) to reach the Final in front of a crowd of thousands at The Greenyards. They were also fortunate to inherit the services of Selkirk’s flying South African winger Tythan Adams, who had earlier thrilled the spectators with his lightning fast pace earlier in the day in Selkirk colours, following an injury to one of Melrose’s players, and he was a big hit for sure. He is bound to be a huge draw at the rest of the Kings of the 7s events over the next few weeks. But will Melrose and Selkirk reached the business end of the competition, along with K7s contenders Watsonians and Edinburgh Accies, it was not a good day for the other five Borders teams, with Gala, Hawick and Peebles bowing out at the first round, while Kelso and Jedforest existed the competition one round later. In 15s St Boswells beat whipping boys Greenock 118-19 in Division 3, and if they win at home next week against Dumfries they will be promoted for the fourth year running into the second division where they could play against either Kelso or Peebles, a magnificent achievement. Melrose so close to winning their own Sevens but Harlequins repeat history from 30 years ago The 2017 Melrose 7s tournament was played out in brilliant sunshine and warmth in front of a big crowd of thousands of people, and it was guest team Harlequins who came out on top with a 31-19 victory over hosts Melrose, who ran the professional side close, but the English team, who won the tournament 30 years ago with a final also against Melrose, took advantage of turnover ball to run in tries just as the Greenyards outfit were looking consistently as if they would score points. It was a gutsy effort from Rob Chrystie’s men who were without some key players for the tournament, including Fraser Thomson and Ross McCann, but the fighting spirit which is embedded in every Melrose player this season, was very much in evidence and they got past Dundee High, Selkirk, The Co-Optimists (aka Ireland’s 7s team in all but name) before succumbing to the mighty Quins in the final. It was good to see Austin Lockington back to his brilliant best as he gave the crowd some razzle dazzle, and when Selkirk’s South African star Tythan Adams came on as an injury replacement for Melrose after thrilling the crowd in Selkirk colours, he worked his magic as he had done earlier. Apart from Melrose and Selkirk it wasn’t a happy day for the Borders with Gala, Hawick and Peebles going out in Round 1 with Kelso and Jedforest bowing out in Round 2. In National 3 St Boswells won 118-19 at home to Greenock Wanderers, the whipping boys of the division, but the crucial game for them will happen next Saturday when they meet Dumfries at home and must beat them with a bonus point to clinch promotion. Hawick Linden 7s draw announced While many people will be heading for Melrose this Saturday and the Kings of the 7s Round 3 tournament at the world famous Greenyards venue, there will be others who will be taking in the fourth Wilson Signs Hawick Sevens event which takes place for the first time ever on the 3G playing surface at Volunteer Park in Hawick. There was no event last year due to a backlog of league fixtures still being played, Linden will defend the title they won two years ago. The Pool system features two groups of four teams playing a round robin format. The first tie kicks off at 12.30. Pool A – Hawick Harlequins, Kelso, St Boswells, Gala YM Pool B – Hawick Linden, Jedforest, Annan, Langholm Watsonians defend title at Gala 7s The City sides proved too strong for the Borders teams at Gala’s 7s tournament, as Watsonians battled out the final against Edinburgh Accies to defend their title 33-28. There is no doubt that Watsonians are the favourites this season to clinch the Belhaven Riverside Rock Kings of the 7s title with both holders Jedforest and 7s specialists Melrose occupied heavily in the 15s game still for the rest of the month. Watsonians, with star of the day Scott McKean scoring a bundle of tries at the tournament, were a class act, easing their way through their Pool to knock out Jed 33-0 in the Semi Final. Accies, who fielded a team featuring many who played a tough match against Aberdeen the day before, look good to get at least one win in the series this season. Kelso were surprise winners of their Pool, dumping out hosts Gala, on their way to collect five points as semi finalists, eventually going out to Accies. Watch the Final here. Watch the best of the tries here. Watch the Semi Final highlights here. Melrose book their third final place and engrave their name on Bill McLaren Shield Melrose have made the final of the BT Premiership after a play-off semi final win over Currie at The Greenyards. It was another big win for the black and yellows who are on a roll at the moment, with a long unbeaten run in all competitions. On Saturday they managed another five tries as they cruised past Currie 42-15 with Nyle Godsmark’s brace adding to efforts from Austin Lockington, Ruairidh Knott and Ally Grieve. The final against Ayr will take place on April 15th at The Greenyards to see who will be crowned Scottish Club Champions, while the following week the two meet in the Scottish Cup Final at the National Stadium. The win over Currie was their fourth home win in a row meaning they are now the third team, after Ayr and Heriot’s, to have their name engraved on the Bill McLaren Shield. Watch highlights of Melrose v Currie here. Hawick now know when they will face Edinburgh Accies in the BT Premiership Play-off game. It will happen at Lasswade on April 29th. Edinburgh Accies fell short of winning the National 1 title, despite scoring 98 points this season. Marr’s 103 sealed the title for them, but who will be filling the other Premiership spot next season? We will know on April 15th. Selkirk beat Hamilton in National 1 in their final game of the season, while Jedforest lost heavily at Musselburgh. They still have three away games to play – all meaningless now – at Aberdeen, Howe of Fife and Dundee while trying to defend their Kings of the 7s title. The same goes for Melrose who are heavily involved in 15s still with three Cup Finals ahead of them. In National 2 Kelso and Peebles both won, so the fight between these two goes on to see who will be promoted to NL1. Kelso will be favourites as they have a 7 point lead but the two will be meeting each other later this month. St Boswells managed a win against Orkney and are still in contention for promotion out of NL3. Melrose book Cup Final place – Quins miss out in Shield After a slow start, Melrose got into top gear and in the end comfortably won their BT Cup Semi Final at home to Stirling County by 48-18. Watch their tries here. They will once again face rivals Ayr, who disposed of Glasgow Hawks 28-10 to set up a mouth-watering clash on April 22nd. In the BT Shield Semi Final Carrick once again took a Borders scalp on their way to the National Stadium, overcoming a plucky Hawick Harlequins team 43-20. BT National 1 will this year go down to the final day, with both Marr and Edinburgh Accies recording bonus point wins against Musselburgh and Falkirk respectively. Marr will be hot favourites to win at GHA, but Accies will need a bonus point win at home to Aberdeen and hope that GHA can beat Marr by more than 7 points and stop Marr from scoring more than three tries, if they are to become champions. Accies’ win today ensures that they will at least get a crack at the play-off match against Hawick, when the winner of that game will line-up in the BT Premiership next season. Howe of Fife and Hamilton were relegated today following Aberdeen’s win at home to GHA. Kelso could have been promoted today from National 2 but it was Cartha Queens Park who beat them 37-10 and ensure they will be at the NL1 table next season. With Peebles winning at Kirkcaldy they still have an outside chance of promotion. In NL3 St Boswells went down at Highland, but are still very much in contention for promotion. In the East Leagues there were wins for Berwick, Duns and Earlston. Selkirk shock Hawick in Border League Hawick went into their final Booker Border League match knowing that a home win by 18 points with a try bonus against Selkirk would take them into the Border League Final and a chance to win their 50th title, but Selkirk spoilt the party winning 28-17 and handing Gala the opportunity to meet Melrose on a yet undecided date. Selkirk scored 4 tries from Tythan Adams, Ciaran Whyte. Boni Siyothula and Darren Clapperton with Josh Welsh kicking all conversions. Hawick’s tries went to Gary Douglas (2) and Neil Renwick with Ali Weir kicking a conversion. Melrose complete their Premiership programme as table-toppers In the old system of league rugby Melrose would have been crowned champions of Scotland yesterday with a 30-6 win at Stirling County, but since the demise of the British and Irish Cup competition play-offs involving the top four teams have been the norm, so in two weeks time Melrose (1st) will play Currie (4th) at The Greenyards in a knock-out competition. If they win they will have a home match against the winner of the 2nd v 3rd game between Ayr and Glasgow Hawks which will happen also on March 25th. There are many, like us, who think that we have a knockout competition in place already so why have another? The BT Cup serves the purpose and the semi-finalists are almost identical to the semi-finals of the BT Premiership play-off semi finals, with the exception of Currie replacing Heriot’s following their win away at Boroughmuir yesterday when they trounced the Meggetland men who had nothing to play for, and effectively got thrashed 67-19 sending Champions Heriot’s tumbling out of the competition in fifth place. But that is the way it is, and we can only hope that the SRU will one day follow the lead of the English Championship in scrapping play-offs and returning to the old system. Even better, it would be good to get round the table and work hard to bring back Scottish involvement in the British & Irish Cup. We should clarify and say that play-offs are far better suited to lower leagues where interest can be retained longer for clubs, particularly those in lower leagues, but automatic promotion and championship title for the team ending the season on top is a must. In BT National 1 Jedforest lost heavily at home to league leaders Marr and are now realistically out of the running for promotion or even a play-off spot. Their 36-17 defeat at Riverside Park means they can concentrate on defending their Kings of the 7s title when the tournament resumes at Gala on April 2nd. Watch highlights here. Selkirk ran in seven tries as they thumped bottom club Howe of Fife on the road. Heartbreak for Peebles though. They were leading top-of-the-table Cartha Queens Park into injury time, but a last second penalty denied them the win and they now have a big uphill task if they are to get into the top two and bounce back to the First Division. Kelso beat Whitecraigs to put further pressure on Cartha, and their match at Cartha next week could throw a lifeline to their fellow Borderers as well as putting them back on top of the league with games in hand. St Boswells’ game against Greenock was postponed as Greenock couldn’t raise a team, while in the East Leagues, there were wins for Duns, Langholm and Gala YM, who beat Earlston in the first ever playing of the Jewson Cup. Watch highlights from Netherdale here. Melrose cruise into BT Cup Semi Finals Melrose dismantled Cup Holders Heriot’s at The Greenyards with a superb first half performance to book their place into the semi finals of the BT Scottish Cup where they will play Stirling County at home on March 25th. Their 29-12 win saw them run in four tries including a brace for Austin Lockington and others from Lewis Carmichael and George Taylor. Gala and Jedforest both found the going tough in their matches in the Quarter Finals away from home. Ayr were too strong for National 1 side Jedforest, running out 36-7 winners while Glasgow Hawks defeated Gala 53-29 in their tie. Stirling beat Boroughmuir 32-31 at Bridgehaugh. In National 1 Selkirk were 0-22 down at Philiphaugh against league leaders Marr before staging a fightback, scoring two tries by Tythan Adams and captain Ross Nixon. Watch highlights here. Kelso scored a bonus point in Division 2 at a much-improved Hillhead Jordanhill team 29-19, while St Boswells took the long unbeaten record of Glasgow Accies 14-10 in Division 3 to stay to of the table. In the East Leagues there were wins for Duns, Hawick Harlequins and Langholm. Scotland up to 5th in the World Rankings after win over Wales Scotland’s 29-13 win over Wales, their first win over the Welsh for 10 years, puts them above France, South Africa and Wales in the World Rugby Rankings to a new high, beating their previous top ranking of 7th. They came from 9-13 behind at the break to score 20 unanswered points thanks to tries by wingers Tim Visser and Tommy Seymour and the boot of man-of-the-match Finn Russell. With Ireland beating France 19-9 it means that the Irish, Scotland and England are the favourites to battle it out for the Championship, and a mouth-watering prospect of Scotland going to Twickenham on March 11th with the winner taking the Triple Crown. Vern Cotter’s men have reached new heights since he took over and with it being 34 years since Scotland last won at Twickenham against the Auld Enemy surely the Class of 2017 with their fearless mindset and confidence will be capable of taking the biggest of scalps in the Northern Hemisphere. Last night in the Booker Border League Gala’s 40-12 win at Peebles and Melrose’s win at Jedforest 12-6 with a team of mainly second string and young players due to the vast amount unavailable to them because of age grade and club international selection, means that Melrose are through to the Border League Final when it takes place in April or May. They will face either Gala or Hawick. If Hawick beat Selkirk in the remaining fixture in their Pool by over 18 points and collect a 4-try bonus point it will be them who go through. Anything less than that and it will be Gala advancing. Nikki Walker to leave Hawick at end of season Nikki Walker will be leaving his position as Hawick Head Coach at the end of the season after three years in charge of The Greens. It follows a disappointing season in which Hawick have ended up in 9th place of the 10 teams in the BT Premiership. Last week they beat Gala to avoid automatic relegation, but they couldn’t get anything out of their match on Saturday against Melrose, going down 34-7 and leaving The Greenyards with a high injury count of seven players, forcing them to finish the game with just 13 players on the pitch. Already relegated Gala couldn’t beat Boroughmuir at Netherdale, giving the men from Meggetland safe passage to top flight club rugby next season. Nikki will be in charge of the Greens in their vital relegation play-off against the team which finishes second in National 1. As it stands that is likely to be Edinburgh Accies, who are adrift of Marr, the club at the top of the table, although Jedforest could still have a say in proceedings if they win all of their remaining six games and other results go their way. Because of the way the season is structured the play-off match could be as far away as eight weeks, in which time Hawick will only have one competitive match to play in the Booker Border League against Selkirk, while National 1 teams will be playing plenty of competitive matches in the coming weeks. Jedforest will be playing re-arranged league games on three of the Kings of the 7s weekends, not an ideal situation for the K7s holders. Hawick President John Thorburn said in an official club statement: “The clubs would like to thank Nikki for his contribution for the last three years. He has added a professionalism to the coaching role that will be beneficial to a new coach. Nikki’s efforts both as a player and coach have served the club well and we all wish him every success in whatever he decides to do in the future.” Hawick loss at Melrose puts them in Relegation Play-off – Wins for Jed, Kelso, Peebles & St Boswells Hawick lost four players in the first half to injury as they went into the break 27-0 down at Melrose, who wrapped up their bonus points by half time. The second half saw two yellow cards dished out to the Greens’ Bruce McNeil and Rory Hutton, which put them down to 13 men at one point, and one to Callum Crookshanks for Melrose, but things were a lot tighter in the second period with both scoring a converted try apiece. But the power of Melrose in the opening 40 minutes blew their Borders rivals away and Melrose now need just two points against Stirling County on March 11th to finish the season at the top spot in the BT Premiership table. Ruaridh Knott, Iain Moody, George Taylor, Fraser Thomson and Jason Baggott all touched down for the home side with Baggott converting three and kicking a penalty. Ali Weir got Hawick’s only points with a converted try. Hawick are confirmed as finishing 9th in the table, which means they will be in the relegation play-off match in April against either Marr, Jedforest or more likely Edinburgh Accies. This is as a consequence of Gala losing 28-46 at home to Boroughmuir who are now safe from any relegation issues. In National 1 Jedforest won a high-scoring game at home to Falkirk 42-29 but Selkirk were defeated in the capital by Stewart’s Melville 21-16. Kelso and Peebles both won at home in National 2 as they aim for promotion with wins over West of Scotland (55-17) and Hillhead Jordanhill (41-17) respectively, while St Boswells stay top of Division 3 with a 38-0 victory at Livingston. In the East Leagues there were local wins for Duns, Hawick Quins, Hawick Linden and Earlston. Gala Relegated – Bill McLaren Shield won by Melrose – Hawick Quins lift Borders Shield Gala have been relegated from the BT Premiership. They needed at least a bonus point against Hawick to keep their hopes alive in the top flight of club rugby, but a late converted try by Kyle Brunton (the only touchdown of the match) saw a three point deficit become 10 and although mathematically there is still hope for Gala (they would need to beat Boroughmuir by a ridiculous amount of points, which won’t happen) the club has accepted they will be playing National League rugby next season. Highlights here. In the other Premiership match with local interest, Melrose snatched the Bill McLaren Shield from Heriot’s in a low scoring game which they won 8-5, Grant Runciman getting the decisive try for the Black and Yellows. NL1, 2 and 3 games involving Jedforest, Kelso and St Boswells were postponed due to waterlogged pitches, but Selkirk beat Aberdeen Grammar 18-9 with three well-taken scores in Division 1, Peebles got a win on the road at West of Scotland in Division 2. View the Selkirk v Aberdeen match here. In other matches Hawick Harlequins were too strong for Berwick and lift the Borders Shield while there were wins for Langholm and Gala YM. Hawick Albion win Scottish Youth U16 Cup The youngsters of Hawick Albion and Hawick High School beat off the highly fancied Ayr/Wellington School team to win the Scottish Youth Under 16 Cup at the national stadium. They went behind early on to an Ayr score by Hooker Scott Clelland but a well-taken penalty from Bailey Donaldson settled the nerves and Hawick were just two points adrift at the break. A chargedown from centre Mully Bannerman led to an opportunist try which was converted by Donaldson, and a further long-range penalty by the Albion full back gave the Borderers a crucial eight point lead, meaning Ayr would have to score at least twice. Ayr did manage a second try through Prop Conlan McLuckie late in the game but the “Baby Greens” held on for a memorable win. Watch the ITV report here. Highlights of the game can be found here. Players with Borders connections play big part in Scotland win All 27 points for Scotland in their terrific win over Ireland in the first day of the RBS 6 Nations Championship came from players with plenty of Borders connections. The 27-22 victory is only Scotland’s second win on the first day in the 19 years the competition has taken place – the other being in 2006 when they beat France at home, so historically it was a very big deal. They raced to a 21-5 lead but allowed the Irish back into the game in the second half when the visitors edged ahead by a point, but two late Greig Laidlaw penalty goals sealed the win. Captain Greig, the former Jedforest scrum half, kicked all three conversions after ex Hawick player Stuart Hogg scored two tries in 13 minutes and former Selkirk player Alex Dunbar went over for an outrageous try after he infiltrated the line-out, collected the ball calmly from Ex Kelso forward Ross Ford at the throw-in, and snuck in to score whilst the Irish pack were wondering what he was doing in the line-out in the first place! They soon found out as coach Vern Cotter revealed that assistant coach Jonathan Humphreys had engineered this set-piece move several months ago! While everyone in Scotland is delighted with the win the stats which appeared after the game showed there is plenty of work to do with Ireland dominant in many areas, but what was pleasing was the fact that Scotland were able to produce three first half tries out of very little ball, and while the inexperienced home front row struggled, it was valuable experience for young Zander Ferguson in particular, and when Ford came on the pitch early in the first period to take over from Fraser Brown at Hooker, he contributed greatly in shoring up the scrum and making the Scots’ pack more competitive. Gala win derby and progress with Melrose and Jedforest to Cup Quarters The big derby BT Cup game at Netherdale went the way of Gala, who won 23-15 against Hawick. It was a much-improved Gala side that outplayed their visitors, always keeping one step ahead of the opposition. Matty Carryer and Dwayne Burrows scored tries for Gala with Ali Weir and Lee Armstrong touching down for the Greens, but the three penalties kicked by Gregor Hunter proved crucial. Hunter also converted both tries while Weir was successful with a penalty and conversion. Watch highlights here. Watch TV Report here. Melrose were 17-0 up at home to Currie in their tie at The Greenyards, but Currie got back into the game to get to within seven points as it ended 17-10. The only National 1 side left the the competition, Jedforest, will also be in the hat for the quarter final draw on Wednesday without taking to the pitch as Aberdeenshire conceded the game to the Borders side. Ayr, Glasgow Hawks, Heriot’s, Stirling County and Boroughmuir all came safely through their matches. In the only NL1 game, Falkirk won 29-7 at Selkirk. The match was switched to another pitch late in the day when the Philiphaugh pitch was deemed unplayable. The Kelso v Peebles game was postponed for a second time in NL2 while St Boswells beat RHC 28-12 to go top of NL3. Jedforest Into Last Eight of BT Cup after Aberdeenshire pull out Jedforest will be in the Quarter Finals of the BT Cup this year following Aberdeenshire’s decision to pull out of the game at Riverside Park scheduled for this Saturday. The National 2 club from the North East have been struggling with injuries and they feel they cannot do themselves justice, so have decided to hand the match to the Borders side. With the Gala v Hawick clash happening on Saturday the area will definitely have one more team go through, and the real possibility of Cup specialists Melrose providing a third team in the latter stages of the competition. The Final will be on April 22nd at BT Murrayfield. Melrose stay top after thrilling win – Hawick and Gala lose – All 5 Borders NL teams win For the second time in successive weekends Watsonians posted 40 points on Borders sides, but unlike the Gala result last weekend when Gala lost 40-3, Watsonians’ 41 points weren’t enough to stop Melrose from getting a bonus point win 46-41 to keep them at the top of the BT Premiership. Watch highlights here. Gala lost 0-26 at home to Champions Heriot’s while Hawick went down 35-8 at Currie. With two games left in the BT Premiership it’s an uphill battle for both Borders sides to avoid relegation. The automatic relegation position is currently occupied by Gala on 22 points, with Hawick in 9th place on 26. Boroughmuir have 27 and Stirling 29 after both lost today. Hawick will play Gala at Mansfield Park on February 11th before Hawick visit Melrose for their last game of the season on the 18th. Gala will end their season with a home match against Boroughmuir to add to the tension. In BT National 1 much better news for local sides. Selkirk ended Edinburgh Accies’ unbeaten home record this season with a 26-21 win at Raeburn Place. Highlights of that match here. Tythan Adams ran in two tries as part of a bonus point victory. Jedforest were 5-15 down at home to Hamilton but ended comfortable winners 46-15 with a much better second half display. In BT NL2 Kelso took the scalp of Ardrossan 43-21 while Peebles also got a home win against Aberdeenshire 31-20. In the Third Division St Boswells posted a convincing win at Dalziel 40-12. Into the East Leagues and Hawick Quins won at Dunbar 52-26 while Duns got the better of Berwick 19-12. In the second tier Hawick Linden provided the only local win. Hawick Linden reunion on February 18th A reunion for Hawick Linden’s 1986/87 Border District League winning team is being organised since it is now 30 years since the title was clinched. It is planned for 18th February when Linden are due to play Edinburgh Northern or Leith who are vying for the final spot in the top six of East League 2. All players who played a League game that season are being approached as well as coaches Billy Murray and Davy Lyall. However, it is not a closed shop and anyone involved with the club at that time is more than welcome to come along and catch up with old friends for an informal get-together. Hawick turn it round big time against Hawks – Big Gala defeat sends them to the bottom Only two Borders teams beat the weather this afternoon with Hawick turning round a 78-13 loss earlier in the season against Glasgow Hawks to beat them at Mansfield Park in a stunning display by 24-17. Two Darcy Graham tries and one by Shawn Muir helped the Greens come from 7-17 down to win the match and lift them off the bottom. Watch highlights here. Watch ITV report on the match here. Gala had a completely different afternoon at Myreside, losing to Watsonians 40-3 – a result which puts them down to the bottom of the table with just three games to go. All other games involving Borders sides were postponed. Hawick YM kicked out of National Reserve League – Melrose Storm are Champions Hawick YM have struggled this season to put a team out and the SRU have reacted by pulling the team completely out of the National Reserve League. In happier times recently YM won the title which was won last year by Melrose Storm, Melrose’s second string side. Hawick YM became the 2nd XV of Hawick Rugby Club following the Mansfield Haugh club’s decision to pull out of the National Leagues following relegation from Division 3. Melrose Storm have built up a huge lead at the top of the table, winning all 13 games, and with all YM’s matches counting for nothing the re-vamped table sees Melrose Storm with a 23 point advantage with only 20 points available for other teams to collect, meaning the title will go to Storm for a second year running. Shock loss by Jed is blow to promotion chances / Kelso, Peebles & St Boswells win again It all went wrong for Jedforest as they succumbed to their first loss at home in National League 1 this season, and it was to Stewart’s Melville who have been in the relegation zone for most of the season. Stew Mel have certainly been improving in recent weeks with crucial wins and deserved their win at Riverside Park, but a dubious red card for Sean Goodfellow for an alleged punch on Seb Trotter before half time, and a worrying head injury to Craig Cowan in the first half added to Jed’s woe as they went 17-5 down early doors. They ended up one point short of a losing bonus and one try short of a try bonus so ended the day with nothing. Add to that bonus point wins for Marr and Edinburgh Accies and the Borderers are now nine points off the pace, and now need other teams to help them make ground back on the other two if promotion is to still be a possibility. Watch highlights here. Selkirk collected two bonus points in a high-scoring match at GHA, but playing catch-up for all of the game, they couldn’t quite get there and went down 38-36. Kelso and Peebles both posted wins in National League 2 to stay 1st and 3rd respectively while St Boswells’ win at Lasswade keeps them in second in National 3. In the Borders Shield game Berwick were too strong for Hawick Linden and take their place in the Final while in the Booker Border League at Netherdale Gala lost 51-35 to Hawick in Pool A. Hawick go top on points difference with 6. Gala are on 6 with both Peebles and Selkirk on 5. Ewen Robbie new DOR at Selkirk RFC Ewen Robbie has been appointed the new Director of Rugby at Selkirk RFC, and will also hold the position of Development Officer vacated by Kieran Cooney recently. Ewen has been involved with Selkirk RFC for a number of years as a player and coach. Rory Banks will be moving into a newly created part-time post responsible for developing the game in local schools. Selkirk beat Peebles at The Gytes yesterday in the Booker Border League scoring five tries in a 27-6 win, which included a brace for recent signing from South Africa, Tythan Adams. The day before that Hawick beat Jedforest 31-29 in an exciting Skelly Cup encounter at Riverside Park, which was postponed from its traditional Boxing Day slot due to wet weather conditions. Gala retain Waverley Cup with brilliant defensive display In the annual Waverley Cup match played every year on Boxing Day and sponsored by Sykes, holders Gala needed a draw to retain the trophy, but they had to dig deep to do so. Melrose, who rested several first team regulars, gave first team debuts to Aaron Welsh and Conall Howard as well as giving many of their youngsters a start, while Gala, while not at full strength, certainly had a team of mainly experienced first team players led by captain Graham Speirs. It was a low-scoring affair with just two unconverted tries in the entire match and bizarrely 13 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game which appeared to be at least twice as long as expected. But both teams battled hard in wet and blustery conditions with Sam Pecqueur scoring a first half try for the visitors and Gary Adams equalising for the Maroons in the second period. Melrose had at least two clear-cut chances of tries in the second half and can consider themselves unlucky not to be awarded touchdowns by the outstanding Cameron MacKay and Callum Crookshanks. At the same time Gala defended bravely, something which will have delighted coach Chris Dalgleish, and in the end it was their work in this area which kept their line intact in the second period, and ensured they keep the trophy for another year. 5-5 on paper looks pretty dull but this encounter was tense and dramatic and edge-of-the-seat stuff. Watch highlights here. Super Melrose sink Ayr to extend lead in BT Premiership – Gala and Hawick defeated – Jed lose at Accies but better news in NL2 and 3 Melrose beat second placed Ayr in the BT Premiership top-of-the-table clash to extend their lead at the top to five points following a 27-10 victory. Austin Lockington, Ruairi McLeod and Russell Anderson scored Melrose’s three tries. At the other end of the table more misery for Gala and Hawick. Both contested close matches but came away with just a single losing bonus point each. the two Borders teams have 22 points, but crucially are now four points adrift of Watsonians, with Boroughmuir (who beat Hawick 26-21) now up to 27 points in seventh and Stirling (who won at Netherdale 29-22) in sixth on 29. With games running out, it’s looking more like at least one Borders team will end up in the bottom two with one automatic relegation spot and one play-off spot beckoning. To avoid this both the Maroons and the Greens have three weeks over Christmas to regroup, and with the fact that they have local matches to play while other teams outwith the Borders rest, could pay dividends as they look to come out fighting again on January 14th when the top flight club league continues. Meanwhile in BTNL1 Jedforest came away from Raeburn Place with nothing. Edinburgh Accies got the win they craved following their loss last week at Marr, and that puts them back in the hunt as they go above Jed into second place with a bonus point and revenge for their only other defeat this season at Riverside Park. It ended 32-21 and you can see highlights here. Selkirk turned round a 60 point defeat earlier in the season at Dundee to beat the Taysiders 27-10 and that’s a result which puts them 5th in the table. In National 2 and 3 all the local teams won. Kelso beat Biggar 31-17 to stay top in NL2, Peebles scored a terrific victory against promotion contenders GHK 32-10 to go up to third, and in Division 3 St Boswells are now second in the table after a 33-15 win at home to Perthshire. In East League 2 there were wins for Langholm and Hawick Linden. Melrose stun Gala in derby – Hawick close to upset at Ayr – Jedforest move into second in NL1 There were some sensational scorelines this afternoon, but top-billing must go to Melrose who sensationally dismantled arch rivals Gala at the Greenyards with a 57-17 win to keep them at the top of the BT Premiership table. Watch highlights here. Watch TV report here. Ayr stay second and will play Melrose next week but today they beat Hawick 44-41, one week after defeating Gala. Hawick raced to a big 21 points lead at Millbrae but back came Ayr to sneak the victory at the death. Jedforest move to second in the National 1 table after beating GHA 31-21 with a bonus point win, and taking advantage of Edinburgh Accies’ defeat at Marr to leapfrog them. Edinburgh Accies scored losing bonus and try bonus points in their 27-24 loss at Marr, who are the new leaders. Selkirk posted a good 32-16 win at Musselburgh to end the day in sixth spot. In Division 2 Kelso won again to cement their position at the top of the table with a victory at Preston Lodge while Peebles beat their local rivals Biggar at Hartreemill. In Division 3 St Boswells got a good victory in NL3 at Haddington. In the East Leagues there were wins for Hawick Harlequins, Berwick and Hawick Linden, with the latter’s win over Gala YM also counting as a Border Shield fixture. Saturday, December 3rd, 2016 Melrose win to stay top / Jedforest, Kelso, Peebles & St Boswells all win in National Leagues It was a ding-dong battle at Malleny Park but BT Premiership league leaders Melrose managed a bonus point win at Currie to stay top of the BT Premiership. Hawick drew with champions Heriot’s at Mansfield Park, but a bad first half display left Gala with too much to do against Ayr at foggy Netherdale, and they had to settle with just a try bonus point. Watch highlights of Gala v Ayr here. Those results together with bottom club Boroughmuir’s 55-17 win against Watsonians, sends Gala down to second last and Hawick back to the foot of the table. Jedforest consolidated their third place in the BT National league 1 table with a bonus point win at home to Musselburgh, and with Marr and Edinburgh Accies above them also getting bonus wins, and fourth placed Falkirk losing at home to Stewart’s Melville, it looks more and more like the two promotion spots will go to two of the three top teams in that division. Kelso stay top of NL2 with a good win on the road at Kirkcaldy while Peebles gave their promotion chances a boost with a win at Preston Lodge. St Boswells travelled up to Orkney and claimed a win up there to so their chances the world of good in the third division. In the East Leagues, there were wins for Berwick, Hawick Harlequins, Earlston and Hawick Linden. Good draws for Borders teams left in BT Cup The draw for the 3rd Round of the BT Cup has been made with Gala and Hawick being drawn together at Netherdale for a head-to-head derby with the winner going through to the quarter finals, ensuring that the region has at least one team in the final eight. Jedforest have a home tie against NL2 side Aberdeenshire and should be too strong for them, while Melrose are also at home to fellow Premiership side Currie. Full draw – all ties to be played on January 28th Aberdeen Grammar v Ayr Boroughmuir v Edinburgh Accies Dundee High v Stirling County Gala v Hawick Glasgow Hawks v Watsonians Jedforest v Aberdeenshire Kirkcaldy v Heriot’s Melrose v Currie Scotland beat Argentina while Gala, Hawick and Jedforest progress in BT Cup Former Jedforest player Greig Laidlaw kicked Scotland to their fifth win out of six against Argentina at BT Murrayfield with a stoppage time winning penalty. The 19-16 win was just the tonic after the one point loss to Australia seven days earlier. Stuart Hogg and Ross Ford from the region were both involved in the win as Scotland builds towards the RBC 6 Nations in February and March. Before that they face one final autumn test against Georgia at Kilmarnock next Saturday. Meanwhile in the BT Cup Round 2, three Borders sides progressed with wins. Gala were too strong for GHA on the road, taking the game 31-14 at Braidholm, while Jedforest overcame a scare at the end to beat Falkirk 34-27 with Hawick clinical against Marr 31-6. Selkirk lost at Watsonians while Peebles went down at home to Edinburgh Accies. In the Booker Border League Melrose beat Kelso 50-5 while in the Borders Shield Duns won at Earlston and Hawick Harlequins took the scalp of Langholm on the road. Clark Laidlaw, former Jedforest skipper and Scotland 7s player, has been signed by New Zealand’s 7s team to become Head Coach, taking over from the legend that is Gordon Teitjens after 22 years in the job. This is a huge appointment for the cousin of Scotland’s captain Greig. Kelso’s Ross Ford reaches a magnificent milestone for Scotland Ross Ford made his debut for Scotland in 2004 and 12 years later, at the age of 32, he today reached the 100 mark for his country – a remarkable achievement. Although the match against Australia ended in defeat at 23-22, the Scots led for 77 minutes of the game and were only overtaken in the last three minutes when they conceded a try under the posts. If Greig Laidlaw’s second half conversion of Jonny Gray’s try had not hit the posts we would be celebrating a one point win, but that’s rugby, and the famous line about ‘fine margins’ was never more apt than this afternoon at the National Stadium. Huw Jones scored two tries for Scotland on his first match at BT Murrayfield as the Scots won the try count 3-2 and it was a case of deja-vu as for the second time in as many games, Scotland lost out by a single point to a late score. But Ross will no doubt be adding another cap next Saturday against Argentina as he chases Sean Lamont’s total of 105 and fellow-Borderer Chris Paterson’s all-time record of 109 which he should reach in the summer if he stays fit, and he could well send that record far beyond that with a few good years left in him. In the Booker Border League Peebles won at Mansfield Park for the second time in four years as they surprisingly beat Hawick 25-19 to cause a bit of an upset. In the only other match locally played this weekend at senior level, Langholm scored an excellent victory at Gala YM 32-12 in East League 2, while in the Border Cup there was a win for Gala A against Selkirk A 62-0. South of Scotland secure 5-try victory over Caledonia The South of Scotland returned after a five year break to beat Caledonia 33-7 with five tries to one at Riverside Park last night. Gregor and Lewis Young, Ross Nixon, Bruce McNeil and Lee Armstrong all scored. It was the first time in five years that the South team had played and only the third time in 21 years that a match involving the South of Scotland side had taken place. There was a sense that players and spectators alike all wanted something to happen in the future for the South team and district rugby to return would be an ultimate goal. To have another Scottish district come on board was a major step forward with regards this, and though Glasgow will prove a tough nut to crack, there is hope that Edinburgh and other regions, including south of the border, may want to come on board to make things happen in the future. A lot of hard work needs to be done but there is a real willingness to have something for club players to aspire to without having to leave their own clubs to achieve it. Watch highlights here.

Super Melrose comeback floors Hawks – Greens off the bottom – Jed edge NL1 derby – Kelso top NL2 table Melrose were 0-15 down at The Greenyards in the first quarter against Glasgow Hawks, who were coming off the back of two big wins recently against Gala and Hawick, but Melrose hit back sensationally with 35 unanswered points of their own to blow the visitors away with a remarkable display to do the double on one of the fancied teams in the BT Premiership this season and cement their narrow lead over Ayr at the top of the table. Hawick got themselves off the foot of the table with an important win on the road at Myreside against Watsonians by 36-33, a vital five points for them and they close the gap on Gala who are just three points in front of them after the Maroons lost 24-49 at home to Currie at Netherdale. In BT National 1 the big derby was at Philiphaugh where Jedforest looked to be running away with the game building up a 26-3 lead, but the fighting Souters staged a remarkable comeback to trail by just four points near the end, but they had to settle for two bonus points as Jed ran out winners 40-34. Highlights here. Kelso are on top of the BT NL2 table after overcoming previous leaders Cartha Queens Park 24-7, and Peebles gained an important home win over Kirkcaldy to keep them in the hunt for promotion. Meanwhile St Boswells turned the tables on Highland in the long-awaited clash at Jenny Moore’s Ground. After being defeated heavily up north Bozzies took the game 15-10 to upset the league leaders and put them back in the mix for promotion once again. In the East Leagues there were wins for Berwick and Hawick Harlequins in Division 1, and Hawick Linden in Division 2. Worth also noting that all five Hawick teams – Hawick, Hawick Quins, Hawick Linden, Hawick Wanderers and Hawick PSA – playing today won, something that hasn’t happened in a long time. Congratulations all round. Thursday, November 3rd, 2016 South of Scotland name starting XV for Caledonia game The South of Scotland have named their starting line-up for Tuesday’s game against Caledonia. It will be the first match for The South in five years and will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the South’s first ever win against touring international opposition back on November 19th 1966 when The South beat Australia 13-0 at Mansfield Park. The South team on this occasion will run out at Riverside Park, Jedburgh, with the starting XV made up of five players from Gala, four each from Hawick and Jedforest as well as two from Selkirk. Watch the team announcement video here. Melrose win keeps them at the top – Jed lose unbeaten record A sparkling second half performance including a hat-trick by winger Ross McCann saw Melrose overwhelm Boroughmuir by 45-12 at Meggetland to stay top of the BT Premiership table on 40 points. When Hawick leaked 78 points at Glasgow Hawks last month it was a result which shocked many, but Hawks inflicted more misery on another Borders team yesterday when they smashed Gala 50-24 at Anniesland. Their game next Saturday at The Greenyards against Melrose will be well anticipated as they try and beat all three Borders clubs in the same season, but Melrose beat them on their own patch earlier in the season and will be aiming for a double. Hawick stay bottom of the table with a 43-30 win at Mansfield Park although the Greens did claim a losing bonus point. Watch highlights here. Watch TV report here. In the much anticipated top of the table clash in BT National 1, Marr retained their unbeaten home record stretching back to February 2015 by beating Jedforest – unbeaten this season – 26-19. The fact that Jed managed a losing bonus point was all the more surprising as they found themselves down to 14 men after just four minutes when Jack Sudlow received a straight red card for a tip tackle on Marr’s Tom Steven. Playing against Marr with 15 men on their home patch is hard enough but nearly impossible with 14 for virtually the whole of the game, however they did lead 13-6 at the interval. Two converted tries in two minutes saw Marr turn a 10-point deficit into a four point lead, which they held to the end. Jed drop from 1st to 3rd while Selkirk move up to 5th spot after their win at home to Howe of Fife 36-31. In BT NL2 Kelso won at Whitecraigs 47-19 but Peebles lost 10-6 at table-toppers Cartha Queens Park. St Boswells got back to winning ways with a comfortable 65-14 victory at Greenock in the 3rd Division. In the East Leagues there were wins for Duns in Division 1 and Hawick Linden in the second division. Saturday, October 22nd, 2016 Melrose top the BT Premiership with win at Hawick – Four Try Scholes sparks Gala Win – Jed still unbeaten Melrose’s win at Hawick wasn’t pretty but it was effective and 14-3 gave them the four points which puts them back at the top of the BT Premiership table, helped by Glasgow Hawks’ narrow 31-32 loss at home to Currie. Gala got a big result at Boroughmuir, winning 31-27 with Rory Scholes bagging four tries. Watch Hawick v Melrose highlights here. ITV Match report here. In the First Division, Jedforest made it 8 out of 8 with a 40-21 victory at home to Aberdeen, a good warm up for their big test next week away at Marr, who haven’t lost at home for over a year. Something is bound to give! Selkirk went down at Marr 32-19 but stay mid-table. Division 2 saw two local wins for Kelso (66-3 v bottom club Hillhead Jordanhill) while Peebles enjoyed a comfortable 49-14 victory at The Gytes against Whitecraigs. St Boswells were rolled over by a good Glasgow Accies side 40-18 while in the East Leagues there were local wins for Duns in Division 1 and Hawick Linden over Langholm. South of Scotland squad chosen for Caledonia Clash The South of Scotland rugby team will take to the field for the first time in five years when they face Caledonia (Caley Reds) at Riverside Park, Jedburgh on Tuesday 8th November at 7.30pm. It will be only the third time this century that a full South XV made up of club players within the Scottish Borders will wear the famous red and white hooped jerseys. There is something extra special about this game, because there is a real feeling among many people in the South of Scotland that the time has come to give more opportunities to club players, particularly with no professional rugby in the region, with more matches involving the South of Scotland. In the last century the Caledonia region went under the name “The North & Midlands” and since 1953 many matches were played between the two district sides. The squad will be captained by Gala fly half Gregor Hunter with Hawick’s Bruce McNeil vice captain. The 23 players come from Gala (6), Jedforest (6), Hawick (6), Selkirk (3) and Kelso (2). Unfortunately Melrose have made the decision not to support this match and have issued the following statement from President Trevor Jackson: “Melrose have decided that due to the heavy load placed on the players and the timing of this fixture that it cannot support this particular match. The Border League is important to Melrose, and with the match against Jedforest at Riverside Park on the 11th November following the game against Glasgow Hawks on the 5th November, the turnaround is too tight to do The South justice. Melrose is playing its other Border League match on the 19th against Kelso at The Greenyards, so that all fixtures can be fulfilled in this historic competition.” The President of the Border League, Billy Grieve, said: “It will be special to see the South up and running again especially playing against another Scottish District team at a floodlit Riverside Park, which is a superb venue to host the game with its unique backdrop and special atmosphere. The game will give our players and coaches the opportunity to challenge themselves at a higher level and still remain within their local club.” Captain Gregor Hunter added: “I am incredibly proud. I wasn’t expecting to be chosen as captain but it’s something that is steeped in history and I can’t wait to get out there at Riverside Park. My dad played for the South against the All Blacks and he’s told me about the massive history involved with The South. I think it is great that the team is back.” Vice Captain Bruce McNeil from Hawick skippered the South team five years ago in a memorable win against the Barbarians and he is looking forward to playing his part again: “It’s a huge honour for all the players who will put on that jersey, and there’s definitely a place for more games involving the South in the future. I think this fixture comes at the perfect time. Most of the clubs are happy to allow their players to get a hit-out at a higher level and support this and I know the Hawick boys involved are really looking forward to it and getting stuck in and get another win ultimately.” Backs Coach for this game will be Chris Dalgleish, Forwards coach is Kevin Barrie (Jedforest). Chris played for The South team back in the 1990s and spoke about his passion for The South: “It’s a fantastic thing to get involved with and play with other players from other clubs. It’s a special game and a special team. Most of the clubs and players from the region are desperate to play in this match and wanting to show what Borders Rugby is all about.” Watch our preview here. The South squad for the match v Caledonia is as follows: BACK THREE Graham Speirs (Gala), Craig Robertson (Gala), Lewis Young (Jedforest), Darren Clapperton (Selkirk) Ross Nixon (Selkirk), Lee Armstrong (Hawick), Gregor Young (Jedforest) HALF BACKS Gregor Hunter (Gala) CAPTAIN, Sean Goodfellow (Jedforest), Andrew Tait (Kelso) Chris Keen (Gala), Shawn Muir (Hawick), Connor Hogg (Jedforest), Bruce McNeil (Hawick) VICE CAPTAIN Matt Carryer (Gala), Callum MacKintosh (Hawick) SECOND ROW FORWARDS Ian Wallace (Kelso), Gregor Law (Jedforest), Andrew Renwick (Selkirk) BACK ROW FORWARDS Keith Davies (Hawick) VICE CAPTAIN, Rob Louw (Gala), Stuart Graham (Hawick), Craig Cowan (Jedforest) COACHES: Chris Dalgleish (Gala) & Kevin Barrie (Jedforest) TEAM MANAGER: Neil Hinnigan (Kelso) Gala win tight BT Premiership derby – Jedforest stay top of NL1 with win at Falkirk Last weekend Hawick won a dramatic match against Currie by a single point – this week they lost by a single point and it was at Netherdale against rivals Gala in the proverbial “eight pointer” match. The 22-21 result lifted the Maroons up a place in the table but Hawick’s losing bonus was their only consolation of the afternoon. Match highlights here. ITV Report here. Down the road at the Greenyards Melrose started well against champions Heriot’s but lost out in the end 17-21, again a losing bonus point little consolation for the team who could have gone top by the end of the afternoon as a result of Ayr beating leaders Glasgow Hawks. In BT National 1 Jedforest tested themselves against Falkirk who were unbeaten at home and who had lost just once this season. It was close but Jed remained unbeaten themselves with a 20-13 victory to keep them on top of the table after seven games. Because they have dropped try bonus points, Marr (who lost for the only time at the start of the season against Edinburgh Accies) are just one point behind Jed (as are Accies) in a very congested top three. Selkirk snuck past an improving Stewart’s Melville 19-14 to register back-to-back wins and put themselves into the top half of the table. In BT NL2 both Kelso and Peebles managed wins on the road. Kelso’s impressive 34-15 win at West of Scotland puts them into third while Peebles are now fourth after their 60-13 victory at whipping boys Hillhead Jordanhill. One league below St Boswells comfortably beat Livingston 50-3 to put themselves in contention for promotion even at this early stage. They are third behind leaders Highland and Dumfries, who clashed this afternoon with Highland winning out. East League 1 saw all three Borders sides winning – Berwick, Duns and Hawick Harlequins – while in EL2 more local success with another clean sweep for the area’s sides – Gala YM, Langholm and Hawick Linden all winning. Hawick bounce back dramatically – Melrose win again – Jed go top of BT NL1 After slumping to a monumental defeat last Saturday, the Green Machine turned things around in seven days to produce a remarkable win against Currie by 27-26 at Mansfield Park. They are still at the bottom, but only one point behind Gala, who got nothing from their away trip to champions Heriot’s, losing 38-19. Melrose meanwhile beat Watsonians 7-24 on the road to stay second in the table on points difference behind Glasgow Hawks, who won at Boroughmuir 48-28. In the other game in the BT Premiership Ayr beat Stirling County 44-22. Watch highlights from Hawick v Currie here. ITV Report here. In BT National 1 Falkirk lost for the first time this season, going down to Marr 33-18, and that result sees them drop from top to fourth. Jedforest beat Dundee High 43-17 to remain the only team in the top four leagues to remain unbeaten. They are the only team from the 46 clubs in the BT Premiership, NL1, NL2 and NL3 who have won all their games. Dumfries in NL3 have drawn 1 and won 6 to remain the only other unbeaten side. Selkirk took the scalp of Aberdeen Grammar in a high-scoring thriller at Rubislaw which ended 36-32. In NL2, Peebles beat West of Scotland 38-34 at The Gytes, while at Poynder Park Kelso won at home to Aberdeenshire. St Boswells lost 20-3 at Dumfries in NL3. Our East League teams produced wins including Duns at home to Ross High (23-13) and Hawick Quins at Linlithgow (51-20) in Division 1 while in EL2, Hawick Linden triumphed 27-8 at Earlston and Gala YM were victorious at Edinburgh University. Saturday, October 1st, 2016 Wins for Gala and Melrose but Hawick thumped in Glasgow – Jedforest remain unbeaten Gala posted a much needed win at home to Watsonians 25-15 at Netherdale to give them four points in the BT Premiership. Watch highlights here. Melrose sneaked past a stuffy Stirling County team to record a 25-17 victory at the Greenyards to stay in the Top Three, but Hawick couldn’t back up their win last week against Boroughmuir and crumbled to Glasgow Hawks by a huge 78-13 scoreline. Ironically Boroughmuir went on to take Ayr’s unbeaten record 24-11 and who would have thought that would happen? In BT National 1 there were some big scores, with Falkirk and Jedforest remaining unbeaten in that division with their fifth straight wins. Jed hammered Hamilton 62-19 on the road while Edinburgh Accies recorded their fourth win of the season at Philiphaugh, comfortably disposing of Selkirk 31-10. In Division 2 there were wins on the road for both Kelso at Ardossan (38-36) and Peebles at Aberdeenshire (41-38). St Boswells lost their unbeaten record n NL3, going down 24-21 to Dalziel. In the East Leagues there were wins for Berwick and Hawick Harlequins in Division 1, and Hawick Linden and Langholm in Division 2. Melrose narrowly lose at Ayr / Gala defeated by Stirling / Hawick earn first win Melrose lost their 100% BT Premiership unbeaten tag with a narrow loss at Millbrae 11-7 after taking the lead early on through a converted Murdo McAndrew try. Gala’s bogey team seem to be Stirling County. The Bridgehaugh outfit did the double over the Maroons last season, and pulled away late on to take the game 31-18. But there was a win at last for Hawick over Boroughmuir, with a second consecutive bonus point, winning out 36-26. Watch highlights here. In National League 1 Jedforest scored an incredible 54 points in the second half to turn a tight 17-13 game against Howe of Fife into a second half romp to win 71-20. All three Young brothers scored a try in a 10 try performance with Robbie Yourston kicking 8 conversions as well as a try and a penalty for a personal tally of 24 points. Selkirk’s Ewan MacDougall was shown a red card in their game at Falkirk for an alleged off the ball incident that no one seemed to witness apart from the assistant referee who recommended a red card be shown. Bizarrely this followed Falkirk being awarded a try and that try was chalked off. Selkirk playing into the wind with 14 men for most of the first half somehow turned round 5-3 in front following a Josh Welsh try. But the second half was a different story with Falkirk strolling to a comfortable 32-5 win. In NL2 Peebles and Kelso shared a 22-22 draw while St Boswells got their fourth win in four games in NL3 at RHC 47-15. Melrose on fire at Netherdale to stay top Melrose chalked up another big score as they retained their position at the top of the BT Premiership table with an impressive bonus point win against Gala at Netherdale 43-27. That brings the maximum 20 points up for them but they needed it as second placed Ayr defeated luckless Hawick 43-28 at Mansfield Park to give them 19. Hawick remain at the bottom with four straight losses but they did manage their first try bonus point of the season. Watch highlights of Gala v Melrose here. ITV Report here. In National 1 Jedforest remain one of only two clubs unbeaten in the table with a narrow 28-17 victory on the road against Stewart’s Melville, while Selkirk bounced back from last weekend’s defeat at Dundee to win 55-24 at home to GHA. National 2 saw wins for both Borders sides – Kelso too strong for newly-promoted GHK 37-18 while Peebles thrashed Ardrossan 53-26. Meanwhile in Division 3 St Boswells, in their first season in the National Leagues for many years, got the better of previously unbeaten Lasswade 34-28. In the East league Division 1 Berwick and Hawick Harlequins posted wins over Penicuik and Forrester respectively while Earlston were the only local winners at home to Liberton. Melrose top 50 points again as they head the BT Premiership Melrose ran in seven tries at the Greenyards to once again take all five points in their match against Currie, running out 52-22 winners. The City side were denied a try bonus because of the strong defensive work from the home side. That win enables them to stay top of the table with maximum 15 points in the BT Premiership. Watch highlights here. Gala were unlucky not to pick up a win at Ayr. They ran them close, going down 27-24 in the end, gaining a losing bonus point but not quite managing a try bonus, but Hawick were taken apart at Goldenacre, losing to Heriot’s 53-10 in a one-sided affair which saw the champions finally record their first win of the season following two straight defeats in the league and a loss in the Charity Shield. In BT National 2 Jedforest beat Edinburgh Accies 16-10 at Riverside Park, but a weakened Selkirk side lost heavily at Dundee HSFP on the road 61-20. Kelso lost at Biggar in their NL2 encounter, with Peebles also finding themselves on the wrong side of the result at newly-promoted GHK, while in NL3 St Boswells made it two out of two with a win at Perthshire. Into the East Leagues and Hawick Quins enjoyed a 42-15 win at Duns in the First Division, while in EL2 all the local sides lost. Seven of the eight Borders top-ranked teams post league wins It was a good weekend for most Borders teams as all but one who play their trade in the BT Premiership or National Leagues won. Melrose top the table with the only 100% record after two weeks of Premiership Rugby. They travelled to Glasgow Hawks and won 37-17 while Gala took the scalp of Currie on the road b 28-23. Hawick were beating Watsonians 9-7 but went down 24-9. In the BT National League 1 Jedforest had a field day at GHA, cruising to a 53-31 victory. Also successful were Selkirk at home to Musselburgh, registering a 47-10 win. In NL2 Kelso beat Preston Lodge 37-21 and Peebles won their derby against Biggar 24-20, while St Boswells got their campaign off to a flying start with a win at home to Haddington. In East League 1 Berwick and Hawick Harlequins won but Duns lost. In the 2nd division Earlston won at home to Langholm and Hawick Linden drew with Trinity Accies.

Melrose on fire with 8 tries to start Premiership campaign but Gala and Hawick lose on first day Melrose hit the ground running in their first Premiership game of the season against Boroughmuir at the Greenyards with eight tries in a 51-24 win. They got off to a flying start with Jason Baggott crossing over for a try with barely three minutes on the clock. The visitors briefly took the lead at the end of the first quarter when Thomas Gracie bundled over converted by Chris Laidlaw, but after that Melrose kept the foot on the gas and led 22-7 at the turn with further tries from Ross McCann and James Head, both converted by George Taylor who also kicked a penalty. Baggott and McCann both doubled their try tally in the second half with Bruce Colvine, Ruairidh Knott and Murdo McAndrew all touching down. Taylor kicked another conversion with Austin Lockington drop-kicking the final conversion on the whistle to see his team go over the 50 points mark. To their credit Boroughmuir rain in three good tries in the second period for a bonus point, with Rab Cairns, Craig Keddie and Douglas Hearn all getting on the score sheet, with Laidlaw adding the extras to Cairns’ try. Watch all tries here. Elsewhere it looked as if Glasgow Hawks would rack up 50 points at Gala after they hit 38 points in the first hour, but Gala stemmed the tide and showed character in fighting back to end their day 14 points adrift. It was 27-43 at the final whistle with the Maroons grabbing an unlikely 4-try bonus point and nearly collecting a losing bonus too, but it wasn’t the start the club wanted. Hawick had a good first half at Stirling County but lost 28-19 in their opening game of the season. In the other two games in the BT Premiership, Ayr demolished Currie 53-10 at Millbrae while newly-promoted Watsonians shocked champions Heriot’s at Myreside by taking the match 25-18. In the BT Cup Round 1 there were some cricket scores. Selkirk and Jedforest swept past Howe of Fife 67-20 and Dalziel 78-0 respectively while Peebles beat Preston Lodge 41-40, but St Boswells lost on the road at Highland and Kelso were heavily beaten at Falkirk 64-33 to go out of the competition. Gala start Border League campaign with win The Booker Border League’s only pre-season fixture was an entertaining encounter at Philiphaugh with eight tries scored. Gala beat hosts Selkirk 34-19 with a five try haul, with Darren Clapperton’s excellent brace and a try by Scott Hendrie accounting for Selkirk’s touchdowns. Rob Louw, Craig Robertson, George Lott, Dwayne Burrows and Fraser Hunter crossed the line for the Maroons in their Pool A match. Gregor Hunter kicked three conversions and a penalty for the visitors with Josh Welsh accurate for the Souters’ two conversions. Watch the tries here. Melrose kick off Kings of the 7s with a win Peebles moved their Sevens tournament from a Sunday in April to a Saturday in August and you have to admire them for their brave move. It meant that theya re the only club from the 10 on the K7s circuit to have their event before the season starts, and we won’t see Round 2 until eight months time, which is all rather bizarre, although of course not long ago we had Kelso and Selkirk’s events pre-season. Selkirk took 83 years to win the Peebles trophy (the last time was in 1933) so it’s particularly unfortunate that they got to keep it for just over 3 months before handing it back. In the end they went out in Round 1 to Watsonians, and it was Watsonians who reached the final to take on Melrose, who disposed of Jedforest, Gala and Peebles on the way to the Final. There were many close ties but in the end a last minute try from Melrose gave them the title and 10 points as they won 22-17. They are now guaranteed to top the table for the next eight months while we wait for the second round in April at Gala. You can watch highlights of the final here and the ITV report here. There are two programmes featuring action from the tournament here and here. Local talent on show in Galashiels this Sunday Netherdale’s 3G pitch will host no less than six games on Sunday as Scottish youngsters do battle in a new competition designed to give the cream of the country’s age grade players the chance to represent their area. Involving Under 16, Under 18 and Under 20 academy players, the tournament, which will take place over the next few weeks, will see Borders and East Lothian teams competing against Edinburgh, Caledonia and Glasgow & West sides. Matches will be played over five intense days with a finals day taking place at BT Murrayfield, with the top two sides in each age group playing on the international pitch on August 21st. The Galashiels leg of the tournament will see Borders and east Lothian teams taking on Edinburgh. Peebles 7s draw Peebles have moved their 7s from April to August so round 1 of the Kings of the 7s will start on August 6th at The Gytes, with Round 2 taking place in early April with the Gala 7s. So holders Selkirk, who won the tournament four months ago, have had the trophy for the shortest period of time in its history – unless of course they win it again in August! They have a tough draw though against Watsonians in Round 1.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0009.json.gz/line3699

Weekly, JoongAng Daily, The Daily Star, El País Weekly Article Index M Tu W Th F Wknd Clear Clippings I've read Clear all Clippings Disaster opens India's eyes NEW DELHI The tsunami's aftermath If any silver lining can ever be found in the tsunami's devastation, it could be the recognition of common destinies between South and Southeast Asia, joined as they are by one sea and much history of shared culture and commerce. Here in the heart of the densely populated plain of the Ganges, the oceans can seem a long way away. The Arabian Sea is a thousand kilometers distant from India's capital, and the Bay of Bengal is 1,200. So it perhaps not surprising that India's top bureaucrats and politicians have tended not to attach too much importance to the nation's 7,500- kilometer coastline and even to the Indian Ocean. That may explain why the government never found the money to participate in, let alone lead, any projects for tsunami warnings. The Bay of Bengal and the southeastern Coromandel coast facing the Andaman Sea had been particularly neglected in recent decades. In that period, Calcutta's importance declined dramatically relative to that of Mumbai. India's modest foreign trade looked increasingly westward, to Europe and the Gulf. Development of international ports was concentrated in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The backwardness of the long coastlines of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh contrasts with the rapid development of the western coasts. India's modest forays into beach tourism were in Goa and Kerala, both on the southwestern Malabar coast. The east coast and the Andaman Islands saw nothing comparable to these, let alone to the ways that Sri Lanka and Thailand exploited their sun, beaches and coral. India may like to assume that it is the natural hegemon of the Indian Ocean, but its neglect of its navy and its failure to provide a positive leadership role in regional cooperation meant that the Indian Ocean has been more of a vacuum, partly filled by the U.S. presence at Diego Garcia. Even more obvious has been India's failure to develop links with its immediate Southeast Asian neighbors, Indonesia and Thailand. It was not always thus. India's cultural influence has spread eastward more than westward. Buddhism spread by sea as well as land. Hinduism still flourishes as far east as Bali, and Indian-derived scripts now used in Thailand and Cambodia were even found in the Philippines until they were gradually displaced by Spain's Roman script. For centuries ships from India's eastern ports dominated shipping in Southeast Asia and provided a key link between East and West Asia. Britain's Indian empire began life at Madras and reached its apogee with the construction not of imperial, westward-oriented ex-Mughal New Delhi but of the commercial gateways Calcutta and Mumbai. But independent India's neglect of the sea was changing before the tsunami. Emerging from its quasi-isolationist shell, India was beginning to recognize that its possession of these two coasts gives it a central position in Asia of which it needs to take better advantage commercially and strategically. Spurred by China's moves into Southeast Asia and its links to Pakistan and Iran, and by its own rediscovery of commercial acumen, India was awakening to its seas. Just two months ago Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that the coming years would "see the importance of safeguarding India's coastline, island territories, offshore assets and sea lanes of communication." The navy and coast guard are getting bigger budgets. India has begun anti-piracy cooperation with Malaysia and - doubtless to the irritation of China - is to have a joint naval exercise with Singapore. The city-state's dominant Chinese ethnicity has not blinded it to the need for closer ties with this closer-than-China giant, and especially with Tamil Nadu and its capital Madras, now a focal point of India's information-technology success. The tragedy has spurred India into a leadership role, as it joins the United States, Japan and Australia in a relief operation. This is a sign of the linkage that India now sees between its seas and its security as much from a strategic point of view as for disaster prevention and relief. It needs to act like a benign regional leader, not a bully to smaller countries. Meanwhile, the sufferings of Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand will surely bring home to their governments the merit of treating India as a friendly neighbor rather than distant and estranged relative.
