The Paly Voice
The Student News Site of Palo Alto High School
Junior motivating "Occupy Town and Country" movement
Paige Esterly, Author
In response to the raised rent causing the loss of local businesses, students are rallying together to form their own Occupy movement: Occupy Town and Country, to take place tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. at Town and Country Village, at the corner of El Camino and Embarcadero.
This idea came from Palo Alto High School junior Hillel Zand, who was appalled at the loss of local favorites like Korean Barbeque and Hobees due to the new policies put into place requiring the businesses to purchase more land. (For more information on the closing of these restaurants, see here or here)
“It just was frustrating that Town and Country is once again forcing a local, family-owned business into being shut down,” Zand said of Hobees. “The businesses aren’t even being told ‘Just an FYI, rent is going to be three times as much next year.’ They’re being told, ‘You can only stay at Town and Country if you buy three times as much square footage and pay for it, or else you have to leave.’ That just seems totally unfair, in my opinion.”
This sentiment is echoed by many Paly students who have agreed to attend Zand’s Facebook event “Occupy Town and Country.”
“It sucks to see some of the smaller family businesses having to close down their shops because they can’t afford the rent, since it usually tends to by the cheaper ones that can’t afford it,” said junior Freddy Kellison-Linn.
“I just wanted to get a few people together and hold up a couple of signs this Wednesday,” Zand said of the event.
Although he only expects it to make a small ripple, Zand believes it is the thought that counts.
“I just wanted to get a few people together and hold up a couple of signs this Wednesday,” he said. “Nothing’s going to change, probably, but it’s just to try to show that Town and Country’s executives are being unethical.”

Enchondromas are common intraosseous benign cartilaginous tumours, that develop in close proximity to growth plate cartilage. When multiple enchondromas are present, the condition is called enchondromatosis, also known as Ollier's disease (World Health Organization (WHO) terminology).[1] When it is associated with haemangioma it is called Maffucci's syndrome. Disruption of musculoskeletal growth, development and function is the major cause for concern. There is also a risk of malignant change to osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma or other bone tumours.
Genetics[1]
Ollier's disease (and Maffucci's syndrome) are usually non-familial disorders. Both disorders thus appear to occur spontaneously and are not inherited.
Although an identical heterozygous mutation in the PTHR1 gene has been identified, other mutations in this gene were not identified in additional patients with this disorder. These studies suggest that the cause of Ollier's disease is heterogeneous and raise the possibility that two (or more) genetic mutations are required to develop the disease. The development of enchondromas could thus be caused by a germ line mutation associated with a somatic mosaic mutation.
Additional mutational events may underlie progression from enchondromas to tumours.
Ollier's disease is very rare. The estimated prevalence of Ollier's disease is 1/100,000.[1]
Maffucci's syndrome is even rarer.
Solitary endochondromas are most commonly discovered between 20 and 40 years of age but Ollier's disease tends to present before the age of 10 years.
Boys are affected twice as often as girls.
There are six types of enchondromatosis but three are more common.
In Ollier's disease there are multiple enchondromas that are mostly unilateral or unevenly distributed throughout the metaphyses of the long bones, sparing the cranium and spine.
In Maffucci's syndrome the enchondromas occur with multiple cutaneous haemangiomas that appear as soft tissue calcifications or phleboliths on X-ray.
If there is symmetrical involvement throughout the body, including the cranium, hands and feet, it is known as generalised enchondromatosis.
The lesions of Ollier's disease tend to be bilateral but to predominate on one side. Enchondromas usually occur in the short tubular bones of the hands and feet as well as long bones of upper and lower extremities. Palpable masses develop that may cause angular deformity and asymmetrical growth. The masses increase in size as the child grows, along with asymmetrical shortening of a limb and either genu varus or genu valgus deformities. Varus deformity is very common.
Differential diagnosis[1]
The differential diagnosis may include:
Hereditary multiple endochondromatosis (HME). HME is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by multiple bone tumours capped by cartilage, that occur mostly in the metaphyses of long bones.
Other rare forms of chondromatosis (which include metachondromatosis, spondyloenchondroplasia and genochondromatosis types I and II).
Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
Diaphyseal aclasis.
Kaposi's sarcoma.
Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome.
The basic investigation is X-ray. Most cases have diaphyseal or metaphyseal lesions which do not cross the growth plate until after it has closed. Sometimes enchondromatosis will affect the metaphyseal and epiphyseal regions. When enchondromas cross the growth plate they cause severe limb length deformities and angular deformities.
CT or MRI scanning may be required, as may bone scans. They are indicated for the evaluation and surveillance of lesions that become symptomatic (pain, and increase in size).[1]
Biopsy of suspicious lesions may be required.
The most common difficulties experienced with Ollier's disease concern mobility and hand function. These difficulties are managed with physiotherapy and orthotics.
Serial surgery may be required for the distortion of joints and when limbs are of unequal lengths.[2, 3, 4, 5]
As well as the problem of asymmetrical growth there can be pathological fracture and malignant change. The rate of chondrosarcoma in Ollier's disease has been estimated at 30-50%.[6]
Prognosis[1]
The prognosis for Ollier's disease is difficult to assess as there is a paucity of peer-reviewed research and much of it is contradictory.
As is generally the case, forms with an early onset appear more severe.
The reported incidence of malignant transformation is variable and estimated to occur in 5-50%.
Despite acceptance that Ollier's disease carries a risk of malignant change there is little in the literature to quantify the risk and no agreed protocol for screening.
Louis Xavier Édouard Léopold Ollier was a French surgeon who was born in 1830 and died in 1900. He was an intern of Lyon Hospital in 1851, graduated in medicine with distinction in 1856 and, in 1857, obtained his doctorate at Paris with a dissertation based on histological studies of 400 malignant neoplasms. His most notable work was in bone and joint surgery. In 1877 a new medical faculty was established in Lyon and he was appointed professor of clinical surgery.
Angelo Maffucci was an Italian pathologist who was born in 1847 and died in 1903. He graduated in Naples in 1872. In 1882 he became head of general pathology at Messina University and the following year he received the chair of anatomical pathology at Catania. In 1884 he was appointed to the chair of pathological anatomy in Pisa, where he died in 1903. He made considerable contributions that were poorly recognised outside Italy.

Tag: NBC
Let’s talk about Willie J. and the big, bad Winnipeg Blue Bombers D-men…the Studly Sophomore QB…the road to the Grey Cup goes through River City…oh so dumb in E-Town…Bianca, Bianca, Bianca!…the value of a 14-goal season…Coach PottyMo talks and talks and talks…and other things on my mind
Another Sunday smorgas-bored…and we’re a bit behind schedule due to a swimming pool in my apartment, which is a little too close to the Pacific Ocean for my liking…
Whenever his universe unfolds as it should, Cody Fajardo likes to say his good fortune was a “sprinkling of Jesus.”
Well, unfortunately for Corn Dog Cody, he had a “sprinkling” of Willie Jefferson and friends on Saturday afternoon at Football Follies Field in Fort Garry, and that seldom ends well for a quarterback.
So, as much as many among the rabble will rain hosannas down on Chris Streveler for his work in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 35-10 paddywhacking of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, they might want to send a few atta boys in the direction of Richie Hall’s defensive dozen.
The Winnipeg D-men had a thing or two to prove, of course, because it was only a week ago when they coughed up a hairball the size of a St. Bernard’s head, costing the Bombers a W in the opening gambit of a home-and-home dosey doe with Gang Green. You had to know they were still licking that open wound when they arrived at the local ballyard for a sold out Banjo Bowl and, sure enough, they had a serious grouch on.
Fajardo never had a chance, but I suppose even Jesus needs a day off now and then.
Jefferson, naturally, was in the middle of the hell-raising with a bunch of tackles, a couple of QB take-downs and a forced fumble, and if there’s a better D-man in the Canadian Football League he’s yet to show his face. Give Willie J. the top-defender trinket now and be done with it.
Meantime, it’s about Streveler. You’re right. Matt Nichols couldn’t have done what the studly sophomore QB pulled off v. the Riders. I mean, that 17-yard scamper on second-and-17 from their own three-yard stripe? The one that pushed Winnipeg FC from one end of the pitch to the other and a 7-0 lead they refused to relinquish? In Nichols’ dreams. Scattering wannabe Sask. tacklers like so many bowling pins? In Nichols’ dreams, baby. But if you believe head coach Mike O’Shea will allow the 2-1 Studly Soph to keep the ball once Nichols returns from the repair shop, you also believe a unicorn will win next year’s Kentucky Derby. It ain’t gonna happen, kids.
What does this ninth W tell us about Winnipeg FC? Try this: In the past month, the Bombers have had first-place throw-downs with three clubs. Here are the results:
Aug. 8 v. Calgary Stampeders 26-24 W
Aug. 23 v. Edmonton Eskimos 34-28 W
Sept. 7 v. Saskatchewan* 35-10 W (* without Nichols, Andrew Harris, Lucky Whitehead, Nic Demski)
So there is no quarrel. Those three Prairie outfits have to go through the guys in the blue-and-gold kits if they expect to be playing football on the last Sunday in November, and I guess we haven’t been able to say that since 2011.
Bo Levi Mitchell
Right now, I really don’t want to hear a lot of blah, blah, blah about the Stampeders. Ya, Bo Levi Mitchell is back in harness and Bo is being Bo. The thing is, I’d be really impressed by the Cowpokes dusting the Eskimos in both ends of their two-game Alberta to-and-fro, except E-Town has either the dumbest players in the CFL or the dumbest head. I’m just not sure which one it is.
On a similar subject, old friend Rod Black had a d’oh moment when he described Bombers kicker Justin Medlock as “the ageless wonder” during the TSN broadcast. Come on, Blackie. The guy’s only 35 for cripes sake. That ain’t old for a kicker. Weren’t Bob Cameron and Lui Passaglia still thumping footballs well into the sixties?
Mike Benevides and his ill-fitting suit returned to the TSN squawk box panel this weekend and had this to say about the Bytown RedBlacks: “If they can find a way to get something done, they’ve got a lot to do.” What the hell does that even mean?
Bianca Andreescu. Canadian. Grand Slam tennis champion. Well I never. Seriously. I began covering and writing about tennis in 1971 and, over the years, I often wondered why smaller countries Sweden and Switzerland could crank out elite players like Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, Martina Hingis, Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka, while the best we could do was turncoat Greg Rusedski and Darling Carling Bassett. Then along came the close-but-no-cigar careers of Milos Raonic and Genie Bouchard. But now we have the marvel that is Bianca Andreescu, women’s singles champion of the U.S. Open after her victory over the neighborhood bully, Serena Williams, on Saturday in Queens, NYC. I’m not sure where Bianca’s achievement ranks in Canadian sports folklore, because that takes in a lot of territory, but I started watching sports when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn and it’s surely in my personal top five.
This just in: Auston Matthews has a mustache. Stayed tuned while media in the Republic of Tranna discuss Boy Wonder’s facial foliage with Drake.
Got a kick out of this post on the TSN Twitter account: “Raiders officially release disgruntled receiver Antonio Brown.” Disgruntled? That’s like saying WWII was a pillow fight.
Clayton Keller
I believe it’s safe to say Arizona Coyotes general manager John Chayka won’t be receiving a thank-you note from his counterpart with the Winnipeg Jets anytime soon. Chayka, you see, did Kevin Cheveldayoff a total dirty by agreeing to pay Clayton Keller an average wage of $7.15 million over eight years, and if I’m the mouthpiece for Patrick Laine or Kyle Connor there’s no chance I’m settling for a dime less than Keller coin. I mean, Keller scored 14 goals last winter. Four-freaking-teen! Puck Finn had more than that in one month. He more than doubled it (30) in an “off” season. Connor lit it up 34 times. So, short of getting them and their agents high on whacky tabacky, how can Chevy possibly convince his two blue-chip restricted free agents that reupping for less than Keller is the right thing to do? I’m not sure there’s enough quality Mary Jane in all of Manitoba to pull that off.
According to CapFriendly, Chevy has $15 million and David Thomson’s couch change to play with in trying to satisfy Puck Finn/Connor and fill out his NHL roster, which now numbers 20 players (maximum 23). Do the math. Unless his bean counters are David Copperfield, Penn, Teller and Criss Angel, Chevy is royally pooched.
We all have our ways of getting kicks, and for Mathew Barzal of the New York Islanders it appears seeing unsigned NHL restricted free agents squirm is his thing. “I think it’s kind of fun,” he told Sportsnet’s 31 Thoughts podcast. “It gives the league a little bit of excitement.” We’ll see how much fun and how exciting it is next year when it’s young Matt’s turn to take a spin on the unsigned RFA squirm-mobile.
Coach Potty Mo
So, Murat Ates had a chin-wag with Paul Maurice that was so staggering in length that he felt obliged to run it as a two-parter in The Athletic and, after digesting 90 per cent of the marathon blah-blah-blah, here’s my main takeaway: Coach Potty Mouth has given captain Blake Wheeler—or any of les Jets, for that matter—permission to be a total dink to news snoops.
“He lathers himself for the lack of a better word,” the Winnipeg HC head coach told Ates. “He gets himself wired to the point that, when you ask a question 10 minutes after a game, you’re going to get some edge on your question. And that’s true. That’s the confrontation he’s just been through for an hour so he gives you a bit of that. Let him breathe for 10 seconds and he’s going to answer your question. Most players—most people—will do one or the other. It’s either all emotional and they don’t have the capacity or the grace to give you a nuanced answer or, what I’m sure bothers you guys sometimes, is that there’s no emotion—it’s all out of the book. Blake’s unusual in that he’ll show you both sides to him and that’s what makes him great.”
Blake Wheeler aka Captain F-Bomb
In other words, belligerent Blake might tell you to “fuck off,” as he did to Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun last spring, but that’s okay because he’ll still answer your question. That’s his “greatness as a leader.”
Spare me. Sure, Wheeler is wired after a game. So are 700 other guys in the NHL.
You think Sidney Crosby isn’t wired after a tough day at the office? Like after a playoff ouster? Damn straight, he is. But I don’t recall him telling anyone to “fuck off.” Mark Messier was wired tighter than the strings on a banjo. Gordie Howe. Wired. Stan Mikita. Wired. Bobby Orr. Wired. John Ferguson. Wired. I have yet to hear audio evidence, or see video evidence, of them telling a news snoop to “fuck off.”
Coach PottyMo believes Wheeler being a vulgar, condescending boor then turning all nicey-face is his “greatness as a leader.” It’s quite the opposite, actually. It’s his most notable failing.
Overall, the Ates-Maurice gum-flapper is good stuff, even if they sometimes drag us into the dreary nuances of systems play. And there’s some syrupy, groupie-like gushing from Ates (“How great is it that Byfuglien is in his mid-30s and still playing like he is?”) that made me cringe, but it’s definitely worth your time.
Ken Wiebe
Now that Ken Wiebe has defected to The Athletic, I dare say the former Sun scribe and Ates might form the best one-two punch on the Jets beat, especially since they plan to shadow Winnipeg HC hither and yon. I just hope they won’t be covering the team old-school style, which is to say with yawn-inducing recaps of the previous night’s game and breathless quotes about “moving our feet.” If the local dailies choose to remain stuck in the 20th century, let ’em. (Seriously, a detailed game story from the rookie camp in Saturday’s Drab Slab? That is so 1970s.). Give me news, but give me off-beat, give me quirkiness, give me features, give me analysis and, by all means, give me opinion that doesn’t read like something fresh from the Xerox machine in the Jets propaganda department. Oh, one more thing: Go easy on the pie charts.
Speaking of which, newby Scott Billeck has brought pie charts and graphs with colored, squiggly swirls to the sports pages of the Sun, whether we like it or not. Oh, joy. Can’t get enough of gizmo jock journalism. As if. You’ll have to excuse me, but I prefer my sports writing without do-dads that make my eyes bleed.
Rink Rat and Wheeler
Let’s be clear: I don’t believe the earth is flat, and I don’t believe fancy stats are useless like ear muffs in Arizona. But I lean toward Rink Rat Scheifele’s way of thinking when he talks about a special something that exists between teammates, like himself and Wheeler: “I think chemistry’s the biggest thing in this game,” the Jets centre says. “You want to play with guys you click with and play well with. I think chemistry is a thing that is kind of put away on people. Especially nowadays with analytics and all that extra junk. Chemistry is something you can’t quantify, there’s no statistic that says chemistry, and I think that’s something that needs to be looked at.”
Pierre and Kendall
Seems Pierre McGuire has lost his perch between the benches on NBC’s No. 1 NHL broadcasting team, and that must be such troubling news for Kendall Coyne Schofield. I mean, how will the poor dear possibly find her way around the rink without Pierre to point the way and mansplain the game to her?
Kendall, of course, made her debut with NBC last winter, joining Pierre at ice level for a Lightning-Penguins skirmish. “Tampa’s gonna be on your left, Pittsburgh’s gonna be on your right,” he informed the U.S. Olympic champion, adopting the tone and manner of a school marm advising a six-year-old girl where she could find the washroom and lunch room. Well, it turns out Kendall knows the way to San Jose (yes, without Pierre’s hand signals), because she’s signed on as a member of the Sharks TV broadcast team. No word on whether or not her contract includes directions to the biffy, though.
And, finally, good thoughts for Dale Hawerchuk, who’s stepped away from his coaching chores with Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League. All they’re telling us about Ducky is that he’s wrestling with health issues, and I’d say that’s all we really need to know.

A work week hump day smorgas-bored coming down in 3, 2, 1…and the back half of August feels an awful lot like the front half…
I thought Megan Rapinoe’s 15 minutes of fame was fini. Hadn’t heard from her for a few weeks.
Then her purple hair showed up on Good Morning America a few days ago and, along with Yankee Doodle Damsel teammate Christen Press, she talked about faith and hope and compromise and, most significant, bang for your buck.
“We won’t accept anything less than equal pay,” the U.S. women’s national soccer team co-captain declared.
Or what? They’ll quit?
Christen Press and Megan Rapinoe
Like approximately 200 elite female hockey players quit? Like members of the Swedish women’s national hockey team quit?
The Swedish women are supposed to be in Vierumaki, Finland, for the 5 Nations Tournament this week, but they’ve had it up to their blonde ponytails with being treated like second hand Roses and found something better to do. What that something is, we don’t know, but it isn’t wearing a yellow-and-blue hockey jersey with three crowns on the front.
There are 10 points of contention between the women and their governing body, the Swedish Ice Hockey Association (SIF), and they include everything from increased funding (top of the list) to wardrobe. Yes, clothing.
It seems that being forced to adorn themselves in male attire is a disagreeable bit of business to the Swedish women.
“For a five-year period, we have asked for clothes in a women’s model, clothes that must be sewn and adapted for women,” is Point 7 in their list of necessary upgrades. “In response, we are told that SIF provides equal clothing to all national teams, ie. men’s clothing. It should be in SIF’s interest that the Crowns represent SIF in a professional and respectful way. How does SIF want the Women’s Crowns to represent Sweden and the Swedish Ice Hockey Association?”
That might sound petty, but I’m reasonably certain that if members of the Swedish national men’s side were required to drape themselves in female finery, they’d sparka upp en stor stank (kick up a big stink). But, then, they’d never ask the fellas to do that, would they?
Anyway, as much as I enthusiastically applaud and endorse any female athlete’s fight for equal pay, equal benefits, equal opportunity, and the equal right to change tops courtside during a tennis tournament, it seems to me that quitting is an ill-conceived strategy when one of the main laments of all women’s sports is lack of exposure.
The women want to be seen and heard in print, on air and in the public conscience, yet they choose to disappear in a quest to achieve said goal.
Interesting gambit.
Let’s say the U.S. national side takes its lawsuit against U.S. Soccer to court and a jury decides the pay scale is not gender based? Hence, no additional coin. Does that mean Rapinoe and her world champion gal pals will be no-shows for next summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo? Certainly they’d be present by their absence, and whichever country were to emerge as champion would have an asterisk attached to its name, but I fail to see how that helps the cause of women’s fitba.
Are Sweden’s female hockey players getting a bum deal? Certainly sounds like it, yes. But there’s a danger in their ploy. That is, what if nobody gives a damn? It’s the same predicament players on this side of the big waters find themselves in. The Canadian Women’s Hockey League has already bolted the doors, and now approximately 200 elite players say they won’t lace ’em up again until Dani Rylan pulls the chute on her National Women’s Hockey League and a sugar daddy/mama (read: NHL) surfaces. Well, there are no signs of surrender in commish Rylan, so will anyone really care that the ForTheGame200 have gone AWOL?
The ForTheGame200 bully tactic doesn’t appear to be intimidating Rylan, because the latest roster update from The Ice Garden tells us that 66 players, including 13 Canadians, have signed on for the NWHL’s fifth season, set to face off on Oct. 5. That happens to be World Girl’s Hockey Weekend, and I’m thinking there’ll be about 200 elite women who’d like to be part of it.
Prediction: At some point, the 200 boycotters will turn on Rylan. They’ll accuse her of acting like she believes herself to be “bigger than the game,” and make her out to be Darth Damsel, an evil force standing between them and the “$50,000 to $100,000” salaries Cassie Campbell-Pascall thinks they deserve. Bet on it.
Michael Whan
How significant is exposure? Well, let’s consider what Ladies Professional Golf Association commissioner Michael Whan has to say on the matter.
The distaff swingers mostly fly under the radar unless you subscribe to the Golf Channel. Still, they’re playing for a total prize purse of $70.5 million in 2019. By way of comparison, the men appear on network TV every weekend 10 months of the year, and it doesn’t seem to matter if Tiger Woods shows up to hack his way to another over-par score or not. NBC, CBS or Fox Sports will be there on Sunday to tell us Tiger’s wearing a red shirt. Oh, and the boys divvy up a $300 million-plus pot of gold.
“If you give me 39 weeks on (national) TV, I’ll close the gap on viewership in a long way, and if I close the gap on viewership I’ll close the difference in purses and pay,” says Whan. “But you can’t do one without the other.”
So, what part of being seen do female hockey and soccer players not understand?
The 10 highest-paid female athletes in the world, according to Forbes, are tennis players. The women’s purse at all four Grand Slam tournaments is equal to the men’s. They didn’t get there by going into hiding. They got there by negotiating while still playing.
Media, of course, plays a significant role in exposing sports to the masses, and there’s definitely a substantial divide in coverage of women’s and men’s competition. For example, I’d wager that few, if any, of you are aware that Canada and the U.S. recently engaged in two hockey tournaments—three-game series between the women’s under-22 and under-18 sides. TSN ignored both events. Yet if I thought watching shinny in summer was a worthwhile activity (I don’t), I could have tuned in to the boys’ World Junior Summer Showcase and the Hlinka Gretzky Cup. Perhaps someone at TSN can explain why our future female Olympians aren’t as important as our future male Olympians. Meanwhile, at Troy Media, they have award-winning journalist/columnist Bruce Dowbiggin telling us that women’s sports is “second-class entertainment.” Steve Simmons of Postmedia once advocated for the elimination of women’s hockey from the Olympic Games. With friends like that, it’s a wonder female athletes even bother to leave the house.
Katie Sowers
So, you say you’d like to coach college hoops. Sorry, no can do. Not if you’re lesbian. What about pro football then? Sorry, no can do. Not if you’re female.
That, kids, is a double whammy of discrimination and Katie Sowers lived it.
Sowers now earns her daily bread as an assistant coach with the San Francisco 49ers, but she only landed the gig after another National Football League outfit told her it was “not ready” to have a women join their stable of on-field instructors.
Years earlier, she had offered her services as a volunteer basketball coach to alma mater Goshen College, a Mennonite school in Indiana.
“I had just finished up my basketball career,” Sowers told Kristine Leahy on the FS1 show Fair Game. “My four years of eligibility were done, so I was on my victory lap and I started playing track and field for fun, and I also was thinking ‘I really want to get my coaching career started.’ So I went to my basketball coach, who had given me…I was a team captain all the years I played, I was a leader on the team, and I knew that they were low on staff, they were low on practice players. I actually emailed him and I said ‘Would this be an opportunity where I could be a volunteer coach?’ I didn’t even think there was a chance for a no. But he responded saying just to come into his office to talk about it.
“And what he told me was that because of my lifestyle, he didn’t want me around the team. And when I was on his team, I was someone that he would protect, but now that I’m not, there’s not much he can do about it. And there were prospective students’ parents that were concerned that if there was a lesbian coach, their daughter might ‘catch the gay’ or whatever it might be, because people might think it’s contagious or whatever it was. But for some reason, they didn’t want me around.
“There was another school in the division that I played, I had a really good friend who played basketball, got kicked off the team at her school because they found out she was gay. She lost her whole scholarship. This was 2008, 2007.”
And people wonder why there are still Pride parades.
And, finally, this from the aforementioned Dowbiggin of Troy Media: “You can’t swing a cat without hitting a lesbian in a women’s sport.” Sigh…there just aren’t enough words.

Let’s talk about the Summer of Chevy…the Atlanta cartel’s greybeards…rose-colored glasses on press row…winners and losers…Bogo-for-Roslo…grading the wannabes…the Winnipeg Jets road show…an ace for John Paddock…CFL stuff…gay power…and garbage
A Tuesday morning smorgas-bored…and I’m still a free agent but my phone still ain’t ringing and there ain’t no offer sheets on the way…
Let me guess. You’re underwhelmed.
I mean, the National Hockey League annual grab bag of teenage talent has come and gone, the frenzy that is Day 1 of free agency is behind us, Tyler Myers and Brandon Tanev are memories, the return on Jacob Trouba was scant, and there’s a hole the size of Don Cherry’s ego on the right side of the Winnipeg Jets’ defence.
In other words, the Summer of Chevy is unfolding as expected.
Kevin Cheveldayoff is paid to generally manage les Jets, but what we have here is an example of the tail wagging the dog. The system now dictates his every move. He was forced to deal Trouba. He was forced to watch Myers and Tanev skate away as UFAs on Monday. He’ll be forced to make Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor and Andrew Copp mega-millionaires. He might be forced to unload useful workers and, perhaps, elite talent. And, unless he can find a sucker or two, he’s stuck with some contracts that will grow old in a hurry, if they haven’t already (read: Byfuglien, Dustin; Wheeler, Blake; Little, Bryan).
In short, it’s a fine mess Chevy and Puck Pontiff Mark Chipman have gotten themselves into.
Bryan Little
Granted, there’s still much heavy lifting in front of Chevy, and the rabble can always hope that he has a bit of Harry Houdini in him. Or that he can find some hats with rabbits inside. For now, though, it looks like the third defence pairing in October will be a couple of guys named Wing and A Prayer.
And to think, a year ago Winnipeg HC was viewed as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. Today they’d be lucky to win a cup of soup.
Chevy and the Puck Pontif (on the rare occasions when he’s spoken) have used up considerable oxygen reciting and trumpeting their draft-and-develop mantra. Which is fine. Except for all the good work their bird dogs have done identifying blue-chip kids, the braintrust is doing everything else all wrong.
That is, Chevy and the Puck Pontiff haven’t been building around Rink Rat Scheifele, Josh Morrissey, Twig Ehlers, Kyle Connor, Patrik Laine and the departed Jacob Trouba. They’ve been building around the aforementioned Byfuglien, Wheeler and Little. They still are. And that’s totally bass ackwards.
Let’s forget for a moment what’s in their pay envelopes. Think term. Do you realize that Twig Ehlers is the only player—that’s right, just one!—with a longer-term contract than Wheeler and Little (both five years)? They’re 33 and 32 years old. No defender has more term than Big Buff (two more years). He’s 34. Those are the deals that Chevy and the Puck Pontiff continue to build around. And, now that it’s time to pay the piper in the form of re-ups for Puck Finn, Connor and Copp, those ill-advised contracts with their no-movement and no-trade addendums are in the way.
Blake Wheeler
Wheeler, of course, is fresh off repeat 91-point seasons, so he isn’t spent, but if he keeps producing at that level into his shinny dotage someone will demand he pee in a bottle. That is to say, at some point his numbers have to drop faster than F-bombs at a stag. Big Buff, meanwhile, is a necessary evil now that Trouba and Myers have skipped town, and we all know Little is no longer a No.-2 centre. It’s just that Chevy ignores that obvious flaw until he gets his annual wakeup call before the NHL shop-and-swap deadline, at which time he’s moved to squander a first-round draft choice for a two-month rental.
Look, I concede there’s value to thirtysomething hockey players. I just don’t think a guy should be at the front end of a five-year term once his chin whiskers turn grey. And they certainly can’t be considered building blocks.
Like I said, it’s bass ackwards.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I find it interesting that Wheeler, Little and Big Buff are the only remnants of the Atlanta cartel that arrived in 2011. I’m not sure what that means, but it occurs to me that they’ve been coddled from the get-go. Just saying.
Looks like a couple of boys on the beat have been swilling the Jets Kool-Aid. Both Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun and Murat Ates of The Athletic used the same word to describe how we should view Chevy’s do-nothing handiwork—patience. Wiebe acknowledged that Winnipeg HC is in retreat mode, but he managed to find a silver lining in that cloud: “Reclaiming some semblance of underdog status probably suits the Jets just fine.” (I don’t even know what the hell that means.) He then stressed “the importance of patience for a small-market organization like the Jets.” Ates provided the backup vocals, opining, “I believe Cheveldayoff’s best play is to show patience.” Wow. I’ve gotta get me a pair of those rose-tinted glasses.
What say you, Pierre McGuire? Give us your take on the Summer of Chevy. “This pains me to say this, ’cause I think Kevin Cheveldayoff and all the people in Winnipeg have done a phenomenal job with their group,” the TSN natterbug said when asked to identify a “loser” on Day 1 of NHL free agency. “That being said, James (Duthie) talked about losing people, when you lose Jacob Trouba for nothing, basically, when you lose Tyler Myers for nothing, when you lose Tanev for nothing, you lose Kevin Hayes for a fifth-round pick, you’re losing a lot. That hasn’t even addressed Ben Chiarot yet. So that could be a lot of losses. Winnipeg is not as good. They’re not as good as they were a year ago.” Some of us feel your pain, Pierre.
Remember old friend Evander Kane? Of course you do. Chevy shipped out the young winger in February 2015 (along with Zach Bogosian and Jason Kasdorf) and received a handful of live bodies in barter with the Buffalo Sabres—Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Brendan Lemieux, Joel Armia—plus a draft pick he turned into Jack Roslovic. Myers is now a member of the Vancouver Canucks, which means Chevy has Roslovic to show for that transaction and Buffalo has Bogo. Would any of us take Roslo for Bogo today? I would.
Craig Button
TSN scout-in-residence, Craig Button, isn’t as high on les Jets top prospects as you might be. Naming Ville Heinola, Dylan Samberg, Kristian Vesalainen, Mason Appleton, Logan Stanley, David Gustafsson, Simon Lundmark, Mikhail Berdin, Declan Chisholm and Santeri Vertanen as the top-10 wannabes, he gives Chevy’s bird dogs a B-minus for their work, worse than every Canadian club except the Calgary Flames, also a B-minus.
“Winnipeg’s list is populated by prospects projected to be middle-six, bottom-half-of-the-lineup NHLers,” he says.
Here’s how Button rates them:
Montreal: A+
Edmonton: B+
Ottawa: B+
Vancouver: B
Toronto: B
Calgary: B-
Winnipeg: B-.
This is interesting: According to NBC, the Edmonton McDavids, your Winnipeg Jets and the Tranna Maple Leafs are the top road draws in the NHL, with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philly Flyers rounding out the top five. And here I thought the Royal Winnipeg Ballet was the best road show out of River City.
Hey, check it out. Old friend John Paddock scored a hole-in-one on the 12th at Clear Lake on the weekend. You’ll remember good, ol’ John as a terrific guy, but also the man who had the bad manners to ship Teemu Selanne to the Disney Ducks back in the day. The former Jets GM accepted Oleg Tverdovsky, Chad Kilger and a third-round draft pick in barter for Teemu, Marc Chouinard and a fourth-rounder. “In hindsight would you do it differently? Of course you would,” Paddock, now GM of the Regina Pats, told ESPN a few years ago. “But that’s hindsight. The owners talked about budget and contracts and trying to get a defenceman…and there was a health concern with Teemu…there were different factors.” Some of us were concerned for John’s health after that trade.
Let’s play Jeopardy! Your category: The Canadian Football League after Week 3.
Clue: This is what $2.9 million buys you these days. Answer: What is a zero-3 record?
B.C. Lions bankroll David Braley coughed up large coin for starting QB Mike Reilly, and I’m guessing he’s given more than a fleeting thought to a do-over. A donut in the W column and a 2,124 drop in attendance for the home opener can’t be what he had in mind.
Clue: Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in an ice tub. Answer: Who are Zach Collaros, Antonio Pipkin and Bo Levi Mitchell?
Three starting quarterbacks down due to owies, six to go. At this rate, we can expect to see TSN natterbugs Matt Dunigan and Hank Burris back in pads and flinging the football by mid-August.
Clue: Seen mostly in B.C., Toronto, Montreal and, now, Edmonton. Answer: What are empty seats?
If the Eskimos didn’t perform in such a monstrosity of a stadium, the optics wouldn’t be so bad. But when you put 23,639 into a 60,081 facility, there’s more empty space than in Homer Simpson’s head. That’s not what Prairie football is supposed to look like.
Got a kick out of Megan Rapinoe’s comments after the Americans’ 2-1 women’s World Cup quarterfinal win v. France: “Go gays. You can’t win a championship without gays on your team, it’s never been done before, ever. That’s science right there.” Seems ridiculous, but Megan makes a valid point as it relates to the World Cup. The website Outsports advises us that there are 40 out lesbians/bisexuals playing, coaching or on team support staff in France, and 19 of them are on sides that reached the last four—U.S. (6), England (3), the Netherlands (5) and Sweden (5). So it’s a fact: You can’t win without gays.
And, finally, a ship carrying 1,500 tons of Canadian garbage arrived on our shores last week, but there’s no truth to the rumor that Chevy was there to meet it and look for defencemen.

Anybody remember the heady days of women’s hockey?
Kendall Coyne Schofield
I mean, who can forget all those jaws dropping as Kendall Coyne Schofield raced the dudes around the freeze during the National Hockey League all-star hijinks, followed by her landing a gig on NBC as rinkside chin-wagger with Pierre McGuire? (Let’s forgive Pierre for talking to Kendall as if she’d just stepped off the boat from Bimbo Island and accept that her presence/voice was high exposure for the women’s game.)
Then there was this:
The three-game exhibition Rivalry Series between the national sides of Canada and the United States was contested in front of an SRO audience in London and crowds numbering approximately 9,000 in the Republic of Tranna and Detroit.
Minnesota Whitecaps of the National Women’s Hockey League sold out each of their home assignments at TRIA Rink in St. Paul, and turned a profit.
The Canadian Women’s Hockey League championship skirmish between the Calgary Inferno and Les Canadiennes de Montreal attracted a record 175,000 sets of eyeballs to flatscreens across the land.
Yup, those were the days.
And now, just eight sleeps after the Inferno had collected the Clarkson Cup at Coca Cola Coliseum in The ROT? Nothing but long faces. The CWHL has disappeared from Planet Puckhead.
But wait. Let’s not be so hasty in passing out the black arm bands scant hours after the CWHL’s deep thinkers announced they won’t be dropping the puck next autumn, after 12 years of trying to convince the rabble that their product is worth a looksee.
I simply don’t believe the collapse of the CWHL is the death knell for Ponytail Puck in this country.
Will it look the same when the leaves are on the ground again in October? Of course not. There won’t be six teams stretching from Boston to Montreal to The ROT to Calgary to China, but I struggle to accept that Montreal and the Republic of Tranna are about to fall off the women’s shinny map. Not going to happen. Perhaps Calgary still fits into the puzzle, as well, although geographic isolation makes that a challenge. Mind you, being in the middle of nowhere didn’t hurt the Whitecaps in Minny. Ten games, 10 sellouts.
So, ya, they’ll re-calibrate and we’ll have women’s pro hockey on Planet Puckhead again. That might mean NWHL expansion north, or it might mean a Women’s National Hockey League built from ground zero by Gary Bettman and the NHL. And it will definitely mean a league that’s two-thirds U.S.-based. But, hey, that’s always worked for the NHL, so why not the WNHL?
Sami Jo Small
Here’s the question I asked myself when word of the CWHL collapse began to spread on Sunday morning: How much blame do we assign to mainstream media?
Basically, MSM treated the CWHL like a leper league. Same can be said for women’s hockey in general. Unless it’s played under the Olympics banner or, to a lesser degree, at the world championship, Ponytail Puck gets less ink/air time than darts, poker and the Mitch Marner-Auston Matthews performance in The Nutcracker.
TSN broadcast all three of the Rivalry Series skirmishes, but it stuck them on the boondocks channels and not all of us subscribe to the complete TSN package. How many CWHL matches did Sportsnet televise? Two? Four? Our national celebration of shinny—the marathon Hockey Day In Canada—shockingly did not include a women’s game, even though a Tranna Furies-Montreal joust was available.
It’s no different on the print side. Actually, it might be worse. If any of our flowers of jock journalism scribbles as many as two essays on women’s hockey in Olympic off-years, it’s considered an avalanche of copy. Indeed, Furies general manager Sami Jo Small lamented the lack of exposure in conversation with Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star not so long ago.
“People are supportive of women’s hockey,” she said. “They love to watch it, but they don’t know how to watch it. That’s one of my biggest battles, to get people to know where to watch these games, how to watch these games, where to buy the tickets, and get them into the venue. Not just watching the Olympics.”
Let’s be clear, MSM indifference wasn’t the official cause of death, but it helped nudge the CWHL toward the graveyard.
Here’s rich irony: Sports scribes and talking heads spend the time between Winter Olympics pretending women’s hockey doesn’t exist, but when the CWHL caved on Sunday they rapidly rallied to the cause. Pierre LeBrun, Elliotte Friedman, Jeff Marek, John Shannon, Gord Miller, Bob McKenzie and James Mirtle, among others, were found on Twitter, bemoaning the development. Guilty conscience, boys?
It’s shameful that Sportsnet basically ignored the demise of the CWHL on its Hometown Hockey broadcast Sunday night. They didn’t even attempt to pretend to be a news outlet. It was more important to air fluff— like a sappy interview with an actor I hadn’t heard of before the pre-game show—than dig into the top shinny news story of the day. A terrible blunder.
I don’t know about the rest of the rabble, but I’m not prepared to rule out the possibility of another long spring run by the Winnipeg Jets. True, they’ve looked a lot like a fire drill gone bad lately and the advantage of home ice is in jeopardy, but I’m keeping the faith. As long as they don’t depend on Patrik Laine to block shots, there’s hope. I mean, what can I say about Puck Finn’s shot-blocking effort on Jeff Petry’s goal Saturday vs. Montreal Canadiens? He looked like some poor shmuck on a street corner, trying to dodge the spray from a huge puddle of water as a car speeds by. Easily the most comical shot-block attempt since Guy Lafleur did the flamingo vs. the Russians.
Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun did the Q&A thing with Matt Cockell and, among other things, the Winnipeg Ice (will never like that name) general manager had this to say: “At the end of the day, the passion for hockey is really what’s exciting about Winnipeg. When you look across Canada, there really isn’t another city that embraces hockey the way Winnipeg does. We really believe it’s the hockey capital of Canada.” Whoa boy. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that Good Ol’ Hometown has already let one NHL franchise get away (no, it wasn’t Gary Bettman’s fault) and two Western Hockey League outfits. Pegtown is the “hockey capital of Canada” like Pierre’s boy Justin is a man of all the people. And that’s coming from someone born and raised in River City, someone who recalls seeing a lot of empty seats in the old barn on Maroons Road. Yes, I realize that Cockell is going to say all the right things in order to sell his freshly minted WHL franchise to the rabble, but I’m not sure that faux flattery is the way to go about it. Peggers are hockey wise, they aren’t rubes.
Turned on the PGA Tour match play final on Sunday, just in time to hear NBC lead analyst Paul Azinger say this about eventual champion Kevin Kisner: “He spits like a baseball player. Impressive.” And to think, a lot of folks figured Zinger wouldn’t be worth spit as a replacement for Johnny Miller.
If you’re looking for an excellent read, check out Stephen Brunt’s ode to Charlie Montoyo on the Sportsnet website. Like most everything Stephen scribbles, his yarn on the Tranna Blue Jays first-year skipper is boffo.
A tip of the bonnet to our own Leah Hextall, who became the first woman to call play-by-play for a men’s NCAA playoff hockey game on ESPN. Leah worked the East Regional semifinals and final on the weekend in Providence, R.I.
Some classic stuff from Steve Simmons, the Postmedia Tranna columnist who offered this on Twitter after our teen sensation, Felix Auger-Aliassime, spoon fed the boring John Isner a victory with a series of ill-timed double faults in their semifinal match at the Miami Open tennis tournament: “Felix served for both the first and second sets in Miami and couldn’t pull it off in either set against John Isner. That’s what happens when you’re 18.”
Really? It didn’t happen to 18-year-old Bianca Andreescu in the semifinal or final at Indian Wells two weeks ago. It didn’t happen to Denis Shapovalov a couple of years ago when he beat Rafa Nadal. It didn’t happen to Bjorn Borg, who won 10 ATP events, including the French Open, at age 18. Mats Wilander, Boris Becker, Michael Chang, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, Maria Sharapova, Tracy Austin, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams all won Grand Slams before turning 19.
So, no, our Felix didn’t lose because he’s 18. He lost because of a seriously flawed service game.
Kenta Nilsson
Sigh. The young talking heads on TV continue to refer to a sleight-of-hand goal as “the Forsberg,” as if Peter Forsberg created the move. As I have written, old friend Kent Nilsson is the first person I ever saw perform that particular bit of hockey hocus-pocus, and there’s video evidence to prove he did it before Forsberg arrived in the NHL. Ditto another old friend, Alexei Zhamnov, who showed us his wizardry more than once while in Winnipeg Jets linen. So knock it off, girls and boys. It’s the Nilsson, not the Forsberg.
And, finally, numbers cruncher Derek Taylor is leaving TSN to become the play-by-play voice of the Saskatchewan Roughriders on CKRM in Regina. Who knew Taylor played the banjo?

About a bummer night for the Winnipeg Jets…an amber alert for Puck Finn…Twig snaps his goal drought…Republic of Tranna media getting it wrong again…and much ado about nothing for NBC
If the Jets and Leafs are playing, it’s worth writing about…
Top o’ the morning to you, Paul Maurice.
Bummer, eh? A 4-2 loss to the Tranna Maple Leafs wasn’t what you, your hired hands or the rabble were looking for on Wednesday night at the Little Hockey House On The Prairie. But, hey, sometimes life bites.
Like, it must really bite for Puck Finn right now. I mean, Patrik Laine looks as lost as a guy trying to find a crosswalk at Portage and Main. He plays five-on-five hockey like a milking cow plays the piano. Clumsy? It’s like he’s skating with a sawed-off peg leg he borrowed from Long John Silver. If he doesn’t find his game soon, you’ll have to issue an amber alert for the kid.
What’s that you say, Coach PoMo? You really don’t know what to do with Puck Finn?
Well, here’s a thought: Don’t ever, under any circumstances, play him on the left flank again. Except on the powerplay, of course. I’m not sure what you were thinking when you had him skate with the Winnipeg Jets big dogs—Rink Rat Scheifele and Blake Wheeler—vs. les Leafs, but a card-carrying democrat would be a better fit at a Trump rally.
The good news is, you and Puck Finn have ample time to figure this thing out. You’re only 10 games into the National Hockey League crusade, so eventually the light will go on, figuratively and literally.
You know, like it finally did for Twig Ehlers.
I don’t know what you told the boys after two periods on Wednesday night, Coach PoMo, but I have a hunch you went all potty mouth on them. That’s what a hockey coach did back in the day, you realize. If his team was soiling the sheets—which your Jets surely had done through 40 minutes—he’d blister them and peel some paint off some walls with language not suitable for the dinner table or mixed company. They’d have first-degree burns to their egos.
Twig Ehlers
What’s that? What do I know about back in the day? Listen, Coach PoMo, I was watching hockey 10 years before your mama wrapped you in your first diaper. Hey, I’m an old lady. Old enough to share my apartment with two dozen cats and not notice. Trust me, I’ve seen some things, including hockey when bodychecking was allowed.
But I digress. It’s about Twig Ehlers.
Whatever message you conveyed to the fellas in those gawdawful aviator blue unis during their second recess apparently registered with Twig. It wasn’t just that he scored for the first time in 27 assignments, he played like he was a bit PO’d.
I think Laine needs to play like he’s a bit (or a lot) PO’d, Coach PoMo.
Anyway, Twig’s goal was the sole positive takeaway from a bummer of a night. But, hey, you get another crack at les Leafs in the Republic of Tranna on Saturday night.
You know what we called Saturday night back in the day, Coach PoMo? Bath night. Yup, we’d get ourselves freshly scrubbed behind the ears, then hunker down to watch les Leafs or the Montreal Canadiens on our black-and-white TV screens. The Habs and Leafs usually cleaned up in those days, too. Won the Stanley Cup 13 times in 14 springs (1956-69).
They’re thinking that way in The ROT again, Coach PoMo. Silly people. You and I both know that your Jets are the best bet to hold a Stanley Cup parade in Canada.
It would help, of course, if you could do something to spruce up Puck Finn’s game. But, like I said, there’s ample time. And I don’t think anyone’s prepared to throw the kid out with the bath water just yet.
Just to refresh, Twig Ehlers and Puck Finn combined for 73 goals last season. Today they have four, all three of Laine’s coming on the powerplay. Thus, they’ll need to average a goal a game between them to match their 2017-18 total. Tall order but doable.
Benny Hatskin and Bobby Hull on a happy day in Winnipeg.
I think it’s swell that folks hither and yawn have noticed les Jets, but I wish wordsmiths and natterbugs in The Republic of Tranna would get their facts in order before spewing nonsense about Good Ol’ Home Team.
Consider, for example, old friend and genuinely good guy Lance Hornby’s recent take on Winnipeg HC:
“Bobby Hull’s record $1-million deal in their second season of 1972-73 angered the NHL establishment—led by Harold Ballard—and got the Golden Jet booted off Team Canada while truly stirring anti-Eastern sentiment,” the Postmedia Tranna scribe scribbles. “Hull inspired two other 100-point players, Christian Bordeleau and Norm Beaudin, but the big bang was a year later, when the Nordic invasion of Lars-Erik Sjoberg, Anders Hedberg, Ulf Nilsson, Velli Pekka-Ketola and Heikki Riihiranta occurred.”
Wrong. The 1972-73 crusade was the Jets’ first, not their second, in the World Hockey Association. The “big bang” of the Swedes and Finns, meanwhile, followed two seasons later, not one.
Next we had Nick Kypreos weighing in on les Jets:
“Kyle Connor. Nobody’s really mentioned the fact that this guy is quietly gonna lead them in scoring—again,” he crowed on Hockey Central @ Noon on Sportsnet.
Wrong. Connor has never led the Jets in scoring.
Here’s Kypreos on Laine: “When it’s all said and done, this guy’s gonna end up with 30 goals again, easy. He’s not been used in Winnipeg as a No. 1 guy. Think about that for a second. If you really go and study his numbers…he’s been a second-line kinda guy his whole career, short career in Winnipeg. You kind of look at him and go “What happens if he was on another team and they use him like Ovechkin?’ So, maybe he only ends up with 28 or 30 goals this year. Maybe he does have that kind of secondary result off of that type of ice time. There’s some nights he’s played 13-14 minutes. He’s not an 18-to-20-minute guy and probably won’t be. He’ll always be in that kind of secondary…he’s a powerplay guy but he’s also secondary, you know, Ehlers, Little.”
Wrong. I don’t know what numbers Kypreos was talking about but, prior to the engagement with les Leafs, Laine spent an average of 16-plus minutes on the ice in the Jets first nine assignments, not 13-14. His low-water mark was 15:25. He topped out at 21:20. He was averaging 19 shifts per game. Against les Leafs, it was 22:23 and two dozen shifts.
You’ll have to forgive me if I fail to understand why some mainstream media made a large deal about NBC coming to River City to broadcast the Leafs-Jets joust. At best, it’s a footnote. Yet the Winnipeg Free Press came across like the Country Bumpkin Times by splashing it on the sports front, with a feature article by Mike McIntyre. The Winnipeg Sun, on the other hand, devoted exactly one sentence to The Peacock Network’s presence. The tabloid gave it appropriate play. The broadsheet lost the plot.
Department of Irony: On its website, the Freep trumpeted the McIntyre NBC piece as one of its Above the Fold features, yet in the actual print newspaper it ran the story below the fold. Go figure.

Monday morning coming down in three, two, one…
The bloom is off the petunia in the Republic of Tranna.
We know this to be so because it finally has occurred to easily swayed news snoops in The ROT that Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr don’t actually skate with the Maple Leafs.
Turns out it was a case of mistaken identity. Auston Matthews is actually Auston Matthews, not No. 99. Morgan Rielly is actually Morgan Rielly, not No. 4. Les Leafs are actually a work in progress, not the 1980s Edmonton Oilers. Pond hockey is fun to watch but not actually sustainable. The juggernaut is actually a jugger-not! Who knew?
Certainly not the scribes and natterbugs in The ROT who’d been howling hosannas about Matthews and Rielly at a deafening and, yes, annoying volume. It was as if the two youthful Leafs had invented vulcanized rubber, the Zamboni and Coach’s Corner.
Alas, troubled times have arrived.
Les Leafs seemingly became National Hockey League d’oh! boys overnight. There were zero goals in a stumble against the Pittsburgh Penguins. There was one score in a faceplant vs. the St. Louis Blues.
In an attempt to dig to the root of these missteps, les Leafs, normally off duty on the Sabbath, were summoned and assembled yesterday. Not for a practice, though. This was what multi-millionaire head coach Mike Babcock described as a “reality therapy meeting.”
No word if Dr. Phil was brought in as a guest coach, or if Oprah was on standby with her couch.
So when les Leafs arrive at The Little Hockey House On The Prairie for their Wednesday night skirmish with the Winnipeg Jets, be gentle with them, kids. They’re in therapy, don’t you know.
Les Leafs, of course, come to town sans gifted forward William Nylander, who remains back home in Europe awaiting a contract offer he can’t refuse. I hope he isn’t holding his breath. I mean, let’s say, for the sake of discussion, that reports of the unsigned restricted free agent’s asking price are accurate. Hmmm, $8.5 million. That’s Leon Draisaitl money. Well, just because the Edmonton Oilers are stupid doesn’t mean the Maple Leafs have to be.
Mike Sherman
So let me see if I’ve got this straight: The Montreal Alouettes were down to their final play on Saturday afternoon, scrimmaging on the Tranna Argonauts’ 48-yard stripe, thus it was Hail Mary time in a 26-22 game. And what does Larks head coach Mike Sherman do? He yanks his starting quarterback, Johnny Manziel, and inserts a cold Antonio Pipkin behind centre because he had “fresh legs.” What exactly did Sherman expect Pipkin to do? Toss the football with his feet? Unless Johnny Rotten is incapable of flinging a football 50 yards, Sherman’s reasoning makes no sense at all. It was boneheaded coaching.
Manziel showed us what he’s all about when he dashed away in a huff the moment Pipkin’s fresh legs failed to avoid the Argos’ pass rush and he was sacked on the final play in the Larks’ loss. No mingling with the boys on the field after the fact. No hand shakes or job-well-done words for his mates and foes. Just sprint and pout (his legs look real “fresh” as he ran away). Hey, I don’t blame the guy for being PO’d, but scurrying off in a hissy fit is a bad, spoiled-brat optic. And it confirms that Johnny Rotten is all about Johnny Rotten.
An unidentified Canadian Football league coach or GM delivered this gem to Kirk Penton of The Athletic: “Manziel’s better than you think. No quarterback can win with that group of offensive linemen Montreal is putting out there.” Not true. Pipkin won two of four starts with the O-lineman that the Alouettes are “putting out there.” It’s just the 0-6 Johnny Rotten who can’t win with them.
Why is the CFL keeping the head count for the Als-Argos skirmish at BMO Field a secret? I mean, so what if you see more people at Chris Walby’s backyard BBQ? Give us the attendance figure already.
This week’s CFL power rankings…
1. Calgary (12-4): Still the team to beat.
2. Saskatchewan (11-6): Where did that offence come from?
3. Winnipeg (9-7): Back to work this week.
4. B.C. (9-7): Winning for Wally.
5. Ottawa (9-7): A playoff bye for Bytown?
6. Hamilton (8-8): Losing Speedy B is huge.
7. Edmonton (8-9): Wholesale changes are a-coming.
8. Toronto (4-12): Blah, blah, blah.
9. Montreal (3-13): Yadda, yadda, yadda.
If you’re a parent with a child playing football, you might want to take a peek at the latest issue of The Manitoba Teacher, where you’ll find an excellent feature by one of my favorite people and former colleague Judy Owen. She gets into the safety measures local leagues are taking in an attempt to curb injuries, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers greats Chris Walby and Troy Westwood offer input. It’s good stuff.
Still no freshly minted sports columnist to replace the departed Paul Wiecek at the Winnipeg Free Press. I thought they’d have had someone in place the moment Wiecek walked out the door, because a sports section without a columnist is like a church without prayer. A pub without pints. Sinatra without a song. As good as the Drab Slab’s foot soldiers are in the toy department—and they are good—the section needs a lead voice. Someone to arouse the rabble. And I need someone to critique.
So, Johnny Miller plans to pull the plug on his golf analyst gig with NBC Sports after the Phoenix Open in early February next year. Shame. Although pompous, Miller is blunt and goes directly to the point. He’s never been afraid to ruffle feathers. He and tennis great John McEnroe are the two most honest game analysts/color commentators on sports TV. Apparently Paul Azinger will move into Miller’s seat at NBC. He’s good, but he’s going to hear a lot of “He’s no Johnny Miller” when he cushions his comments.
Johnny Mo
John Morris tells Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun that his hurry-hard days in men’s curling are done, and he’ll now focus on mixed doubles. That’s one of those good news, bad news things. It’s good that Johnny Mo will continue to curl, because he’s a colorful guy who knows how to fill news snoops’ notebooks and deliver quality sound bites. But, since mixed doubles is still in its infancy and sits on the periphery of the game, he won’t be as visible. So file that part of his decision under not so good.
The low-key, subdued farewell is among the quirks of world-class curling. Johnny Mo steps away from the men’s game and there’s no fanfare, even though he is among the most-decorated Pebble People of all time. Intense (sometimes to a fault) and combative, Johnny Mo did it all on the pebble. This is a hall of fame curler. His resumé includes multiple Olympic, world and Canadian championships and, of course, he collaborated with Kaitlyn Lawes to reach the top step of the podium in the inaugural mixed doubles event at the Winter Games in South Korea last February. But there will be no teary-eyed press gathering like we see when a hockey, football, baseball or hoops great bids adios. Legends like Morris, Kevin Martin, Jeff Stoughton, Elisabet Gustafson, Colleen Jones, Dugie et al go quietly into the night. Or to the broadcast booth. It’s the curler’s way.
And, finally, Rihanna apparently rejected an offer to headline the halftime show at next year’s Super Bowl, so we’re stuck with Adam Levine and Maroon 5. Personally, I’m not into either performer’s music, but I know whose wardrobe I’d like to see malfunction.

About Jumbo Thornton’s chin whiskers…an expansion team in Seattle…and they’re buzzing about the Winnipeg Jets
Midweek musings on the edge of a fresh National Hockey League season…
Jumbo Joe Thornton and the here and after.
There was good news and bad news at the NHL’s roster cut-down deadline this week. The bad news is that Joe Thornton’s chin whiskers became a casualty. That’s right, the San Jose Sharks forward had his mountain-man beard hacked off. The good news is that they discovered Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart’s airplane and a golf ball that Tiger Woods lost at last summer’s U.S. Open under all that scruff.
Looks like Seattle will be awarded an expansion franchise for the 2020 NHL season. Reaction to the news in Ottawa was swift: “Can we get one, too?”
You know that tired lament about how no one notices the goings-on in Good Ol’ Hometown? About how anyone who works and plays in River City flies under the radar? About how life sucks because everyone in the eastern time zone is tucked snugly into bed by the time they drop the puck out in the colonies?
Well, you wanted recognition for the Winnipeg Jets? You’ve got it.
Les Jets de Winnipeg have been in more headlines this week than anyone not being considered for a seat on the United States Supreme Court. They’re getting buzz from one of our two national newspapers, the Globe and Mail. They’re getting buzz from Yahoo! Sports. The “insiders” at Sportsnet are buzzing about our local hockey heroes. ESPN is boffo on les Jets. NBC/NBCSN will feature les Jets five times on Wednesday nights. Online and sports books in Las Vegas are bullish on Winnipeg HC.
Cripes, man, there’s even Jets buzz on TSN, where they could be found on the main page of the website on Tuesday morning. In three different headlines.
When I saw that, I immediately called up the Weather Channel.
“Is it true?” I asked a young woman who answered the phone.
“Is what true?” she replied.
“Has Hell frozen over?”
“By Hell, do you mean Ottawa and the Senators?”
“No. I mean Hell as in Hell. You know…Satan, hissing, misery, suffering, eternal inferno. That wretched place.”
“Sounds like Ottawa and the Senators to me. But if you mean the biblical Hell, the usual warm front persists and remains parked over most of it. Why do you ask?”
“Because TSN has three mentions about the Winnipeg Jets on the main page of the website and there’s nada—bupkus!—about TSN’s favorite lousy quarterback, Johnny Manziel. They can’t possibly start a day without slobbering over Johnny Rotten, so I figure it can only be one of two things: 1) I overslept and it’s late November; 2) hell has frozen over.”
“No,” she assured me, “you didn’t sleep in and snowballs still don’t have a hope in Hell. Trust me, you and everyone else will know when Hell has frozen over.”
“There’ll be a Stanley Cup parade on Yonge Street in Toronto.”
According to the pundits hither and yon, Winnipeg HC, while not everyone’s flavor of the month, figures to be a very prominent player in its eighth crusade since the Atlanta caravan rolled into River City in 2011.
Les Jets, who commence their 2018-19 journey vs. the Blues in St. Louis on Thursday night, are listed at No. 2 on the TSN power rankings, behind the Tampa Bay Lightning. (Those ratings, by the way, are determined by five talking heads—Ray Ferraro, O’Dog Jeff O’Neill, Craig Button, Jamie McLennan and Darren Dreger.) For its part, Yahoo! Sports ranks Winnipeg HC fifth, behind Tampa Bay, Nashville Predators, San Jose and the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals.
Over at Sportsnet, meanwhile, 16 “insiders” are gaga for les Jets.
* 9 pick them to win Stanley Cup;
* 10 pick them to win Western Division;
* 11 pick them as the Canadian outfit with highest points total;
* 1 (Kristina Rutherford) picks Blake Wheeler to win Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player;
* 5 pick Connor Hellebuyck to win the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender.
At The Athletic, 47 scribes/editors weighed in on the upcoming season and les Jets are the second favorite to cop the Cup; Puck Finn is the overwhelming pick to win the Rocket Richard Trophy; Connor Hellebuyck is the second choice for the Vezina; and even the head coach, Paul Maurice, is feeling the love as co-favorite to be named coach of the year (with Peter DeBoer of San Jose).
Not since the World Hockey Association have we witnessed such pre-season hype for Winnipeg HC. Those WHA outfits delivered the goods. We’ll know about these Jets in about nine months.
Rink Rat Scheifele
Interesting take on les Jets from Dave Shoalts of the Globe and Mail:
“Everybody has fallen in love with the Toronto Maple Leafs as the team to break Canada’s 25-year Stanley Cup drought. But it might just be the Winnipeg Jets who accomplish that. The Maple Leafs may be the darlings of the oddsmakers, but the Jets are big, fast, skilled and better than the team that went to last spring’s Western Conference final.
“With that experience under their belts, the Jets are now poised to take the next step. Their top line of centre Mark Scheifele and wingers Blake Wheeler and Kyle Connor is one of the best in the league. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck played his way into the top tier of goaltenders with his work in the playoffs. At 25 years of age he, like his teammates, is only getting better.”
A couple things to peel away here:
I’m not convinced this Jets outfit is “better than the team” that lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference final. The departure of Paul Stastny tells me it isn’t. Unless Bryan Little has a bounce-back season or Jack Roslovic is a revelation, Winnipeg HC is weaker at centre ice.
Hellebuyck, meantime, was terrific during a burdensome regular season and early in the playoffs. He did not, however, play admirably in the five-game ouster vs. Vegas. He was sketchy and Marc-André Fleury outperformed him by a wide margin, despite his repeated mantra that “luck” was Fleury’s greatest ally.

A collection of my musings
Tag: Tehillim
Issues tangential to the tragic death of Aharon Sofer ז’’ל
I have been ill with a virus, consumed with the Gaza operation and all the news surrounding it, and yet, I most certainly knew that this 23-year-old Yeshivah student, who was hiking with friends near Yad Vashem, had disappeared in the Jerusalem forest. I had read it in the Israeli papers. I read it in the Jerusalem Post, Yediot, Times of Israel and I’m sure more.
Was it a secret? No? We all knew about it, and it was on the front page over a few days.
And yet, in another example of Charedi ignition, we are exposed to a shrill article in Matzav, which not only asserts that the Israeli media ignored the disappearance, but probably did so because he was Charedi. The first point is patently false. When I first heard about it, my immediate reaction, call it a gut feeling, was that he had lost his way and was dehydrated somewhere.
This is not the first time in recent times that a Charedi kid has tragically died in avoidable circumstances. Perhaps his phone battery was low, or it was a kosher phone unable to connect to the internet for a distress signal, but not having water when you hike appears to be more common among Charedim. Aharon may have had water. I don’t know. It’s baffling.
What I do expect though is that a proper educational approach take place where Yeshivah boys are warned and re-warned, that you don’t travel without a charged phone which has a way of sending a distress signal, and you must have water with you. Will such obvious advice be splashed on the walls all around Israel’s Charedi enclaves? I don’t know. I sure hope so. If they don’t it’s questionable whether the Rabonim should be held to account according to the Din of Egla Arufa that we just layned.
No doubt, we will hear one of “God’s accountants” who says that it happened because he wasn’t in the Beis HaMedrash. I sincerely hope not. The Rebbes and Rabbonim who went to Marienbad and similar to get some Menuchas HaGuf were also not in the Beis HaMedrash, and it is entirely acceptable to take a rest and have some fun Bein Hazmanim. In Israel of course, based on the Medrash?, walking 4 cubits suffices to acquire Olam Habo! I guess according to Satmar and other Hungarians that statement is whitened out.
I’d like to turn this issue on its head, from a Melbourne perspective. Yesterday, in light of the fact that a few days had passed and he hadn’t been found, it was planned to have an evening of Tehillim in the Adass Hall. The poster was politically correct. It also mentioned that the Tehillim was for the “matzav” in Eretz Yisroel. My questions were, for the “Matzav in Eretz Yisroel” there had previously been no such poster let alone a call to the Rabbinic Council to lend their approval.
A boy of 4, Daniel, had just tragically been killed in a mortar attack. The Rabbi of Adass will not allow a Tefilla for the welfare of the soldiers of the IDF (Tefila L’Chayalei Tzahal) to be said in his Shule! The automatons follow this ruling. Yet, when a boy from Lakewood, who tragically met his demise becoming lost while hiking, the “Matzav” in Eretz Yisroel gets a sudden call up. I ask, where was the picture of little Daniel whose parents were in the midst of Shiva. Where was a call to divide the learning of Mishnayos for Daniel’s soul? There was not. You see, Daniel, wasn’t wearing a Yarmulke and his parents were Kibbutzniks so his Neshama wasn’t important enough to make a brouhaha and cause a kiddush Hashem by using this night to also divide the learning of Mishnayos.
Why do the Rabbis of Lakewood in Melbourne and those from Adass ask for support from the Rabbinic Council of Victoria (RCV) if they consider that council to be something akin to a Chabad dominated circus of ignoramuses? Let’s not kid ourselves. They have no respect for the RCV.
Let’s get serious. Matzav.com had no business making such false accusations, and the Melbourne community really shouldn’t have had to wait till after a ceasefire and when this boy Aharon tragically lost his life before attempting to organise joint ventures in “good faith.”
Perhaps my cynicism is greater than ever, but for me, every soldier, child etc who is killed is a human tragedy. Whilst the RCV had an evening of prayer (twice, I believe) and whilst some Charedim attended, most did not and would not. No, Matzav.com, the argument goes the other way, why does it take the untimely tragic death of a Lakewood boy to spur the Charedi world to organise a special night of Tehillim for the community. The answer is, I believe, that Aharon was frum. He was learning. Soldiers protecting lives and little boys killed by mortar are on a “lower madrega”, one which doesn’t call for a special gathering.
Ironically, who visited family Sofer to give them encouragement? It was the Dati Leumi mother of one of the three boys kidnapped and murdered by terrorists.
In summary, who could have a problem with an Asifa to say Tehillim for a missing kid, but to effectively make differences between frum and not yet frum is distasteful.
Let me also remind my Charedi friends that there was a soldier who went missing for days and days and was ultimately found dead. The strong rumour is that abuse when he was a child led to his untimely death. Again, I can’t remember the Charedi Lakewood or Adass communities organising, let alone getting the RCV involved, to publicise their event for that tormented soldier.
I’m sorry for those Charedim who send me unnamed comments telling me I’m fostering Sinah. People, wake up. The Sinah is perpetrated palpably not by me, but by the actions of hypocrites who love non Charedi financial support in terms of business and donations, but think we are second-rate.
Well, I don’t accept being considered a second-rate citizen: neither Rav Shach or Rav Kotler was my Rav, and I don’t follow the anti Israel views of R’ Yoel of Satmar.
We are in Ellul. A bit more Ahavas Yisroel is needed. Tonight there was meant to be a community Avos uBanim program. Adass not only said that they aren’t participating, but they actually removed the posters advertising the event, lest one of theirs is “led astray” and sits and learns with his son in a large room with those who don’t follow the closed Hungarian Charedi world. Shame on them!
I will finish with a most sincere wish that Aharon’s parent’s are blessed with nechama, and the resultant trauma doesn’t consume their lives, בתוך שאר אבילי ציון וירושלים. I can’t even begin to imagine their pain.

Give us back our boys (Part 2)
After the Caulfield Shule event there was much murmuring from sections of the community about aspects that they didn’t like. This is not to imply they had a problem with the event. The feeling was positive.
I’d like to consider each one (that I know of) and that have been broadly canvassed, and offer my view, for what it’s worth. These are in no particular order.
Umbrage was expressed that the Rabbinic President of the RCV and ORA was using his phone from the daïs to take panoramic pictures/videos from his place while people were involved in the event.
My view is that this was ill-advised, and not in keeping with the solemnity and angst of the event. There were adequate photographers and the ubiquitous Channel 31 fellow quite able to take pictures and video as need be.
Offence was expressed that some Rabbinic figures failed to sing HaTikva
My view on HaTikva was formed many decades ago when I discussed the matter with a Rav from Mercaz HaRav, as a young Yeshivah Bochur during the summer break at Moshav Keshet. That is a story in of itself. The Rav was fiercely Religious Zionist, and our site was literally on the border with Syria. When we threw a rock over the barbed wire fence near where we worked each day, it was common for a mine or some other incendiary device to detonate. The Rav was obviously very spiritual. I remember waiting twenty minutes for him to finish davening Mincha after we had all finished to engage him in discussing the matter. His view was that it was unfortunate that God’s name is not mentioned therein and that there was no seeming connection to Torah. Nonetheless, he felt that when in a place where people were singing it as an anthem, not doing so, would likely cause some to make the wrong reading, and that this itself could estrange Jews from Judaism, so to speak. He told me that he made one substitution when he sang it in such situations. Instead of Lihyot Am Chofshi, he used Lihyot Am Torah B’Artzenu and suggested I focus on Hashem’s hand and Ein Lecha Ben Chorin Ela Mi Sheosek BaTorah. Since that time, I have tried to do so. Chofshi, can mean many things, but to secularists this can range from freedom to possibly freedom of the yoke of religion/heaven (from the vantage of a more Charedi reading). As my own children grew up, they noticed me making this substitution. Whether they do, is a matter for themselves. That being said, it is unwise to be standing there in public view without one’s lips moving even if someone is theologically opposed. I understand that some might turn their back so nobody would notice. I understand that some have other objections. I could even foresee the bleeding left-wing objecting to the anthem on the grounds that it is difficult for an Arab Israeli to sing (this has been in the news in fact). Either way, one should absent oneself in an inconspicuous manner so as not to create heat. I saw one Rabbi leave as soon as Tehillim was over. That’s his right. It’s for his congregation to interpret. Nobody forces a Rabbi to sit anywhere they don’t want to.
In of itself, there is nothing holy about an anthem, of course. This does not imply that one is opposed in some way to the notion that the birth of the State was Yad Hashem and a miraculous event. Let’s face facts. The majority of the RCV are not Religious Zionists, including the President nor do they need to be in terms of any constitution or mandate that I am aware of.
Some from the more Charedi spectrum, who made an effort to attend in name of unity, felt that the Tefilla Lishlom HaMedina was contentious.
It is true that Charedim, Chabad, Litvaks et al do not agree that the birth of the state implied that one should say Reishit Tzmichat Geulateynu. Some add the word “Shtehe” (rumoured to be R’ Moshe Feinstein’s suggestion) or Smichat Geulatenu.Having finished a book about the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Amiel ז’ל, of the Gush, a holocaust survivor himself and ardent Zionist, and having a copy of his seminal book המעלות ממעמקים which I read decades ago, it is clear that even some Religious Zionists (like Rav Amiel) have problems with the issue of certainty when it comes to predictions of redemption. It is also for this reason also that I am uncomfortable when people say that XYZ is Mashiach. This type of eschatology, to me, is unimportant. The end is the goal. Exactly who and when and how things happen, as noted by the Rambam in Hilchos Melachim is unpredictable. Having said that, one wasn’t forced to say this prayer. One could easily have just stood like everyone while it was being said. Those who felt that it was just too theologically uncomfortable, could have attended a Tehillim event that was apparently held at Adass Israel on a previous day, although it would be good if they publicised these things in a better manner: they know how.
There were comments about allowing a Conservative Cantor recite Tehillim.
To be honest, I didn’t know who the (Sefardi) Cantor was. I only noticed the errors in Tehillim that he had made and wondered whether he had bad eye sight. Either way, unless the person is a Kofer/Apikorus, I don’t see an issue with saying Tehillim after him (I haven’t asked my Rav). I would assume the President of ORA checked this out and was satisfied that he wasn’t a Kofer/Apikorus.
To end on a positive note, [Hat tip BA] listen to this excellent speech from the Chief Rabbi in London.

A litmus test for Shules regarding the IDF vs Torah study issue
[Please note: I will keep this list updated as information comes in]
Phew. I’m physically wasted. Baruch Hashem, our daughter was married last night, and apart from the usual responsibilities of being the “father of the bride” and all that goes with it, I sang and danced during the evening with my great band, Schnapps. That’s not an advertisement. They were simply magnificent last night.
Someone drew my attention to an interesting point which then had me think of the following hypothetical:
If you received an Aliya on Shabbos, and asked the Gabbay to make a Misheberach for Tzahal (Tzva Hagana L’Yisrael) what would the different attitudes be in different Orthodox Shules. I will list those that I believe will have and do have no problem with such a benign (Zionistically speaking) request (and donation)
South Caulfield
Ohel Dvora
Da Minyan
Moorabbin Shule
HaMerkaz Shelanu (Rabbi Liberow)
SpiritGrow
I do not know what the attitude would be at the following Shules. I accept of course that there may be differing practices within, say, some Chabad Houses
Rabbi Kohn’s Shule
Russian Chabad Shule (FREE)
Central Chabad
Chabad Sephardi Shule
Glen Eira Chabad
Malvern Chabad
East Brighton Chabad
Other Chabad Houses
Rabbi Donnenbaum’s Heichal HaTorah
Rabbi Berlin’s Shule
Rabbi Wurtzberger’s Lakewood Kollel Beth HaTalmud
Perhaps readers can enlighten me on these and any that I inadvertently forgot. I haven’t mentioned Adass yet. I will relay, though, a true occurrence which was at a public gathering of prayer which might shed light on their view.
During the time when those three Charedi Yeshivah Bochurim were arrested and incarcerated in Japan, Adass organised a public gathering to say Tehillim to beseech God to release those boys. At that public gathering, it was suggested (quite vocally) that since Gilad Shalit was incarcerated by Hamas in Gazastan, that he also be included in the Tefillos. I’m advised that the response was like
You can organise your own Tehillim if you want to daven for him
If this is true, it’s an outrageous view. Now, I know this isn’t a universally held opinion. Adass certainly has various categories of views and it’s quite remarkable that those views can co-exist in the one place, however, if Adass President Binyomin Koppel could enlighten the official view about such a Misheberach, I would be obliged.
Certainly, I have been at Chabad Shules, notably Yeshivah where special Tehillim is said for Israel when it faces many of its challenges.
I raise this because if a Shule does not allow a Misheberach or special Tehillim or similar for Tzahal, then, frankly, I do not want to hear about their special Torah learning protecting the Chayalim. It’s incongruous, is it not?
Similar questions could be asked in respect of Jewish Schools and their allowable activities.

Sefer Shimush Tehillim
My cousin’s husband, Reuven Brauner has another worthwhile compilation published. You may download it here.
What is it? The introduction states:
Sefer Shimush Tehillim is a short and relatively little-known treatise attributed to Rav Hai Gaon (according to the Sedei Chemed) which describes the Kabbalistic uses of particular chapters and verses from the Book of Psalms for prophylactic or healing purposes. These selections are meant to be either recited alone, frequently multiple times, or in conjunction with some other action or prayer. Shimush Tehillim is mentioned in Teshuvas HaRashba (413), by the Chida, and others. This work is not to be confused with bibliomancy which is the use of Biblical verses for predicting the future.
There are numerous instances cited in the Talmud and other sources regarding the utilization of Biblical verses to ward off demons and the Evil Eye, against bad dreams, against the effects of drinking water uncovered at night, and other more serious calamities. Verses were employed to lighten the pain at childbirth, as protection against danger on a journey, fierce dogs, bleeding and wounds, and the effects of fire and fever. Verses were recited to gain favor or improve one’s memory, and so on. (See Sanhedrin 101a and Shulchon Oruch, Yoreh Deoh 179:8-10, et al.)
Yet, it must be noted, there was great opposition to use of the Torah for magical, curative purposes. The Rambam, the Tur (Yoreh Deoh 179), and the Shulchon Oruch (Yoreh Deoh 179:10) forbade such usage. The Rambam in Hilchos Avodas Cochavim 11:12 pointedly writes:
“Regarding one who incants over a wound or reads a verse from the Torah, and so one who reads verses to calm a frightened child or places a Sefer Torah or Tefilin on a child so that he will sleep – it is not bad enough that these people are numbered among the sorcerers and diviners, but they are also counted as heretics to the Torah by using words of the Torah to heal the body. The (words of the) Torah are for healing the soul only, as it is written, ‘and they shall be life for your soul’. However, it is permitted to recite verses and chapters from Tehillim for protection against troubles and harm – by merit of their recitation.”
Protection – yes, curing – no.
Since Tehillim, more than any other Sefer from Tanach, was used to defend against the effects of all types of predicaments and saving from danger, as recorded in Shimush Tehillim, I thought that it might be interesting to prepare the following table1 to illustrate which chapters it suggests be used for which ailment and condition. For the convenience of the reader, I have also added a cross-referencing index.
Nevertheless, since this monograph is meant for general educational purposes only and not practical application, and in deference to the dissenting opinions, I have only provided a selection of chapter usage from the book, and did not list the use of single verses nor what other actions are required in addition to the recitation of the chapter to affect the desired results. For such purposes, the interested reader must consult an actual edition of Shimush Tehillim and ask his rabbi as to how to employ it, if at all. All this aside, it is commendable to recite Tehillim anyway for the efficacy of it as prayer is well-known.
Finally, I made no attempt at trying to determine why each chapter has the effect claimed, as there is no indication of this in Shimush Tehillim itself.

Saying Tehillim for the sick
It is proper and laudable when concerned brothers and sisters pray for those who are dangerously ill. We say private prayers in the Amida, make a Mishebeyrach, say an extra chapter of Tehillim, sometimes privately, and other times as a collective group.
Recently, several prominent Rabbis continue to be dangerously ill. These include: R’ Ya’akov Yoseph, R’ Yisroel Belsky, and R’ Yosef Shalom Elyashiv. Rav Aviner recently addressed a question about R’ Elyashiv, who is 100+, and as I understand, on a ventilator and in need of רחמי שמים.
R Ya'akov Yosef
Should we pray for Ha-Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv to heal from his illness, or – as one Rabbi suggested – should we pray for Hashem to take his soul on High since he is suffering so much?
This is a very bold question to ask (I think that most people who ask such questions either are on an exceedingly high level or are asking להלכה and not למעשה.
Rav Aviner’s answer was:
It is correct that the Ran writes in Nedarim (40a d.h. Ain. And see Baba Metzia 84) that if a person is suffering terribly and seems to have no hope of recovery, it is permissible to pray for him to die. The source for this idea is the Gemara at the end of Ketubot (104a), where it is told that Rebbe Yehudah HaNasi was suffering terribly; his maidservant saw and prayed that he should die. Even though she was not a Torah scholar, but a maidservant, the Sages greatly respected her and the Ran rules according to her example. In Shut Tzitz Eliezer (vol. 5 Ramat Rachel #5, 7:49 Kuntres Even Yaakov chap. 13, 9:47), it is written that this applies only if one is davening for the benefit of the sick person who is suffering a fatal illness, and not in order to lighten our own burden. It is clear that our intent in this case it is to lighten the burden on Ha-Rav Elyashiv.
The Ran writes that it is permissible to pray for a person’s end in such a situation, but he does not write that one is obligated to do so. After all, the Gemara itself relates that while the maidservant prayed that Rebbe should die, the Sages prayed that he should not die. In the book “Midbar Shur,” in his eulogy for Ha-Rav Yitzchak Elchanan (pp. 332-336), Maran Ha-Rav Kook asks: Why did the Sages pray that he should not die? Their view is difficult to understand. After all, Rebbe Yehudah Ha-Nasi was bed-ridden, suffering, could not teach or give halachic rulings, and was seemingly of no benefit to this world. If he would ascend on High, he would continue to teach Torah there. So why didn’t they pray for him to die? Maran Ha-Rav Kook explains that the influence of a great Torah scholar is not only through his teaching, halachic rulings, etc., but also in the presence of his holy soul in this world. The fact that his soul is located in this world brings blessing, even when he is unable to provide practical benefit, is closed in a room and cannot converse with others. This is similar to the Vilna Gaon, who for many years was closed in a room learning Torah. This world with Rebbe Yehudah Ha-Nasi is not the same as a world without Rebbe Yehudah Ha-Nasi.
When Rabbenu Ha-Rav Tzvi Yehudah taught us this idea, he would say that Maran Ha-Rav Kook also suffered greatly, and he told him: Each and every moment that Abba is in this world, despite the suffering, he brings it light. And our Rabbenu would relate this with tears in his eyes.
If so, the same applies in our case. This world with the Ha-Tzadik, Ha-Gaon, Ha-Gadol, Ha-Rav Elyashiv is not the same as a world without him, even though he is currently unable to teach, give rulings, etc. The Rabbis who called on us to pray for Ha-Rav Elyashiv’s healing are therefore correct, and we hope that he will truly be healed and will once again actively bring the blessing of Torah and holiness to this world.
May Hashem send him a speedy and complete recovery.
R’ Hershel Schachter recently discussed the question of davening for a Refuah Shelema for someone who is close to being a גוסס—basically on their deathbed with no hope of survival, short of a miracle. R’ Schachter notes that the Mishna in Brachos is clear that one is forbidden to pray for a revealed miracle. As an example, he describes a man rushing home from work after being told that there is a major fire burning around his house. While driving, the man prays that his house is not one of those engulfed by flames. R’ Schachter notes that such a תפלה is ridiculous. Either the house is, God forbid, in flames or it is not in flames. Asking that it not be in flames is tantamount to praying for an overt miracle to transform a readily observable occurence.
R' Shmuel Rozovsky ז'ל
R’ Schachter then to retells a story that he experienced when visiting the Ponovitzer Yeshiva in B’nei Brak, during the time that Reb Chatzkel Levenstein ז’ל was the Mashgiach. Apparently, someone was very sick due to a certain cancer, רחמנא לצלן, and there was a request that everyone say Tehillim for a Refuah Shelema. Reb Chatzkel, who was sitting in Mizrach, refused and exclaimed that it was forbidden. The mood was incredulous; who would refuse such a request? At that time, the famed Rosh Yeshivah, R’ Shmuel Rozovsky ז’ל was seen leaning over to Reb Chatzkel and talking to him. Tehillim commenced. R’ Schachter was to subsequently learn that R’ Shmuel had explained to R’ Chatzkel that there were people who were successfully treated for the particular cancer afflicting the person for whom Tehillim had been requested, and it wasn’t one where there was “no hope” because the doctors had no more new ideas or one where the patient was effectively in palliative care. Had it been someone in palliative care, R’ Chatzkel would have been right.
Importantly, R’ Schachter explains that it is still proper to say Tehillim. However, one does not ask for a רפואה שלמה. Rather, one should ask for רחמי שמים, mercy from Heaven.
In reflecting on the question to R’ Aviner, in light of R’ Schachter’s insight, I think it’s most appropriate, when someone is effectively in a palliative state, to ask for רחמי שמים and not assume that we should suggest to Hashem how that רחמנות should be manifest (e.g. by death חס ושלום).
Let’s hope that we don’t need to say Tehillim for anyone because we have merited the realisation of the pasuk of אני ה’ רופאיך, “I am God your Healer”.

GT4 Podium for Craft-Bamboo Racing Despite Challenging Weekend During Opening Round of Blancpain GT Series Asia
It was a challenging weekend for Craft-Bamboo Racing during the opening round of the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Asia in the GT3 class, but the team managed to secure a hard fought second place podium in the GT4 class.
Frank Yu (R) and Jean-Marc Merlin (L)
Frank Yu and Jean-Marc Merlin drove a superb race one from P4 to kick off their championship title defence with a well-deserved podium. While the Porsche 911 GT3 R struggled in the Sepang heat, both cars demonstrated some good performance.
The #911 Porsche 911 GT3 R of Sandy Stuvik and Shae Davies debuted with a top-ten championship points finish in race one, followed by the #991 Porsche 911 GT3 R of Darryl O’Young and Aidan Read in P11.
The #911 Porsche just missed out on another points finish in race two, taking P12 at the flag, with #991 close behind once more in P14. Topping off their weekend in GT4, the #77 Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR finished P4 to help Frank Yu and Jean-Marc Merlin into P3 in the GT4 drivers’ championship.
#911 Porsche 911 GT3 R
Shae Davies began the season from P12 and got away cleanly for his first ever Blancpain GT Series Asia debut, managing to hold his position in the middle of the jostling pack. He was soon able to take another place and move into P11 and focus on charging up the field. After working hard to break into championship point territory, the #911 driver handed the car over to Sandy Stuvik in P9, giving them a good opportunity at some points in their very first race. Stuvik rejoined the race in P10 behind the #991 Porsche of O’Young and focused on reeling him in over the coming laps. Eventually, Stuvik managed to make a clean pass on O’Young and keep the car in the top-ten until the chequered flag fell, securing them a championship point for their efforts.
“Race one was a great race for us in terms of setup,” says Stuvik. “The mechanics and my engineer Matt Harvey did an excellent job setting the car up to handle the tire degradation and we had a consistent race package which enabled us to move up through the field after a solid start by Shae. I couldn’t be more impressed with how the team operated and our pitstops ran smoothly without any mistakes. I was happy to bring the car home in 10th place to pick up our first points of the season.”
Aidan Read was tasked with getting the season underway for the #991 Porsche 911 GT3 R from P11 on the grid. He made an excellent start and fought his way up to P5 before the safety car was called out within the first few minutes of the hour-long race. After the restart, Read was on the defensive and dropped a place to P6 but kept pace with the front of the pack for the rest of his stint. The Australian driver did a stellar job to keep his opponents at bay until the pit stop window arrived 25 minutes in, handing the car over to Darryl O’Young in P5. Unfortunately, the #991 was undercut during the pit stop and after the pit stop shuffle had ended, they found themselves fighting to the flag from P9. After a full course yellow with less than 20 minutes to go, O’Young found himself in a tough position but he pushed forward and managed to hold onto P9 as the race entered the final ten minutes. A battle between the #911 sister car soon ensued and after trading friendly blows, Stuvik managed to edge ahead. With only a couple of laps left, O’Young was just outside the points and despite his best efforts the Porsche just didn’t have the pace to challenge the heat in Sepang and finished race one in P11.
#77 Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR
It was Frank Yu who kicked off the #77’s title defence from P4 in the GT4 class and he did an incredible job as the lights went out for the first time in 2018 in Sepang. Yu managed to snatch two positions on the opening lap, which was a huge accomplishment against the new GT4 manufacturers. Now sitting in P2, Yu put in a flawless stint at full pace to maintain that position to the pit stop window, where he handed over the car to Jean-Marc Merlin. Merlin continued with the epic performance, not missing a beat and taking the #77 Porsche to the flag in P2 to secure them a crucial second place podium and a huge 18 points to add to their drivers’ championship campaign.
Race Two
Race two’s starting duties now belonged to Sandy Stuvik and he began Sunday’s race from P15. It was another clean start from the #911 driver and he maintained his position over the opening laps, thankfully avoiding an incident early on with the Ferrari. Lacking outright pace, Stuvik was able to run a clean stint but not make up ground on his rivals, delivering the car in P15 to his teammate, Shae Davies. The Aussie made a strong push from the pit exit and was able to find his way into P13 with 20 minutes remaining. Davies continued to chip away with each lap and began to make some ground on those ahead, managing to sneak into P12 in the final ten minutes. It was an excellent stint and Davies continued his push to the flag but lacked the outright performance to break into the top ten.
Darryl O’Young began race two in the #991 Porsche 911 GT3 R in P18 and made the jump to P17 during the opening couple of laps. While O’Young did his best to give chase from P17, the #991 Porsche 911 GT3 R struggled for pace and he found it difficult to find a way through the field. O’Young pushed on in P17 until he pitted to hand over to his teammate at the start of the pit window. The #991 Porsche was able to gain some ground after the pit stop with Aidan Read slotting into P15 as the race entered its closing stages. Read gave it everything he had and was able to take a further position as his stint progressed, putting the #991 Porsche into P14 where it would ultimately finish ten minutes later.
Jean-Marc Merlin got underway from P5 in the GT4 class and held his position for the opening portion of the race, creating a gap to those behind while he fought to catch the car in front. His persistence paid off, as he was eventually presented with the opportunity to overtake towards the end of his stint. After taking P4, Merlin handed the car to Frank Yu to close out the weekend. While Yu had slipped back to P5 after the pitstop thanks to their success penalty from race one, he made back the time with another strong stint in the #77 Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR. Yu’s push made all the difference and he was able to secure a P4 finish for the pair, which greatly helped their title chances. The #77 duo are now P3 in the GT4 class, setting themselves up for a challenge on the leaders when they head to Buriram for round two in May.

The Transgender Network of Texas (TENT) , The Dallas Peace Center and the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) have all announced support of the “Transgender Conversation “with Bishop Robinson!
The announcements of concern by these established and respected organizations will help in the promotion of transgender wellness and allows our effort a increased sense of legitimacy and purpose to previously uninformed viewers.
Thank you to all.

I’m really glad to see that Bishop Robinson will be participating in this conversation, and that you invited him to it. In case you weren’t aware of it, I wanted to let you know that there is a group called TransEpiscopal which was founded about three years ago to support trans folks in the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion. Several of us founded the group not only to explicitly welcome more of us in, but also to recognize that we are *already there/here*. We can tend to get lost in the gay/lesbian shuffle in the Anglican Communion conversation, but we’re very much present. We are laypeople, people in the ordination process, and clergy (there are several out trans clergy in both the Episcopal Church and the Church of England)– we are trans, we are partners of trans folks (some of whom are also trans), and we are non-trans family and allies. TransEpiscopal has a private listserve, accessible at groups.yahoo.com, which has a peer support focus as well as some political-working/organizing conversation. We also have a public blog, on which several of us post periodically at http://www.transepiscopal.blogspot.com. There were also several transpeople at the Lambeth Conference this summer– you can see posts related to that experience on the blog. Integrity/Claiming the Blessing and TransEpiscopal raised money to send me to Lambeth, and there were also several transfolks already in the UK with whom I participated on a panel called “Listening to Trans People” which was part of Lambeth’s “Fringe Festival.” So, thank you again for hosting this conversation, and peace, Cameron Partridge
Kelli Busey November 14, 2008 at 9:26 am
Thank you Cameron!
I have since become a member of TransEpiscopal. It is a highly motivated engine of change!

Car Folks
August 8, 2017 August 14, 2017 / Pop my Ride / 2 Comments
Maverick Mike from the Maverick forum told us about a gathering in Somerset, KY in July. Fellow Maverick lovers get together and show off their pride and joys or projects in the works and yuk it up about Maverick life. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go, but Momma and Pop were able to hit it and represent for me and Mavis. Although I’ve given some of the forum guys a little shit, it’s all in jest because car people really truly care about other car people. They want to help with advice, share stories and tips and generally support the passion. The P’s said that all of the folks at the gathering could not have been nicer.
Maverick Mike with his ’72 Mav which he has driven as fast as 117mph (so far).
Car shows and gatherings are also great places to find that ever elusive part you’re looking for. Pop met a great guy named Tony Rahm. Tony is known for having a lot of parts stashed away in his wood shop, so Pop mentioned that Mavis had come with pins to hold the hood down but no hood latch. He gave him his card and asked Tony to let him know if he ever came across one, that we’d buy it. Later in the day Tony approached Pop with, guess what, an upper hood latch. Said he had to go by his shop anyway and handed it to him. Pop took out his wallet asking what he wanted for it and Tony told him to put it away. He wasn’t going to take any money for it. That’s just good peeps.
Pop, Tony and the hood latch. Tony, you’re a gem, thank you!!
More pics from the Maverick gathering:
Forum member Frank’s ’73 Grabber is named Patches, due to the fact that he has pieced the body together and has yet to paint the thing.
Patches was honored with its pic on this years t shirt. Something I aspire to.
The closest thing to Mavis. Four lug wheels, and a 200ci Inline 6.
Not much has been changed since the factory, but for the custom wheels and color.
I’m here in KY for a couple weeks and we were all over the Cadiz Cruz-In, a local car show the first Saturday of every month. Pop and I continue to wring our hands over our brake situation and the fact that we absolutely cannot find a larger drum brake for the rear axle than the dinky, unsafe 9” drums (that we threw away…don’t want to talk about it). Giving up on drums entirely, we now find ourselves looking for discs for the back.
We finally, FINALLY thought we had found a disc brake kit that would work for Mavis. All of the dimensions were right but for one. It’s called the ‘flange offset’ and it’s kicking our asses. The kit calls for an offset of 2.8 inches, ours is 2. It makes absolutely no sense why our 8” differential doesn’t have what everyone is saying all of the other 8” back ends have, a 2.8” flange offset, but it doesn’t. Word on the street is that back in the day, Ford factories would switch up parts depending on what they had laying around. So discovering that your old Ford has a slightly different part than other Fords of the same year is not uncommon. (I recently learned the Henry Ford would use wood from shipping crates as the floor boards for his Model-T’s. Great reuse of materials, but unfortunately doesn’t make him any less of a dick.)
So, circling back to the car show and why all of this is important. We think one of our only hopes is to find a 7.25” Ford differential as we have come to believe that it will have axles with the 2.8″ flange offset we so desperately need. (It also needs to have the right length and spline count.) Now, you can’t just order up a 7.25″ Ford backend, no one makes this shit anymore. You have to find it, or rather search for it in salvage yards, in barns and overgrown backyards, through car forums, or, in some cases, on a car just about ready to get crushed in a scrap yard. We heard from our buddy Curt that he had seen a Maverick at the local metal recycle yard, so we hauled ass over there, only to find that it had been crushed only days earlier.
Pop looking at a pile of scrap crap where an old Mav once sat, perhaps trying to will it back.
There was only one Mustang at the Cadiz car show that night, and we asked the owner straight up if he had or had a line on old Ford rear ends. He said no, but that his friend “right here” just pulled one out of a Mustang days before. His friend Marty proceeded to pull out his phone and show us a 4 lug backend. Said he had no use for it and that it was a…wait for it…7.25″. Holy crap.
Marty said he’d call us to set up a time we could come get it for $100. We may have the ultimate solution if everything measures up. We could have either beautiful, safe disc brakes on Mavis’s original 8” back end, or, we may have a 150 pound piece of scrap metal. And that’s only IF he calls us. Our back brake dilemma has come down to one question:
Is Mustang Marty Miller a man of his word?
Aaaaaaand, yes! Marty Miller IS a man of his word! He called and we swung by his place to pick up the back end. Paid him the $100, exchanged contact info and took a look at his project car, a ’65 Mustang fastback. (Which means the back of the hood slopes down into the end of the ‘trunk.’)
I hate to say it, but once we got it home and pulled everything apart, we found that the offset was exactly the same as ours. Long story short, it won’t work for the disc brakes we wanted. But Marty proved again that car folks are good folks and at least we’ve made a new friend out of the deal.
So, we’re going back to basics and shit-canning the rear disc brake idea. We’ve already found another set of 9″ rear drum brakes through a friend of Pop’s, Mark, another car guy. I think we are both almost relieved to come to a final decision about the back brakes and move on.

NFL had begun considering alternatives to Arizona for Super Bowl XLIX
Posted by Mike Florio on February 27, 2014, 9:21 AM EST
The NFL wasn’t saying much publicly about its plans for Super Bowl XLIX, if controversial Senate Bill 1026 hadn’t been vetoed by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.
Privately, the league was beginning the process of moving the game out of Glendale.
Don Banks of SI.com reported before Brewer killed the bill that the league began investigating the steps necessary to relocate the next Super Bowl. Per Banks, Tampa likely would have been the first option.
“It’s a big undertaking and one the league would very much like to avoid,” an unnamed source close to the situation told Banks. “It’d be incredibly logistically challenging to pull it off and no one’s even sure if it’s possible. Some expert would have to make a decision on that at some point, but the game’s going to be played somewhere next year.”
The NFL pulled the Super Bowl from Arizona 24 years ago when the state declined to recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. But the decision in 1990 to pull the plug on a game set to be played in 1993 gave the league much more time to make other plans. (Arizona ultimately voted to recognize the holiday in 1992, and the NFL ultimately gave Super Bowl XXX, played in 1996, to Arizona.)
The discussion became moot once Jan Brewer applied her John Hancock to the veto form. But the experience serves as a reminder that, like the Miss America pageant, the first runner-up in the Super Bowl sweepstakes could eventually be wearing the crown.

I live in Arizona. The people are a mix of pretty much every other state in the country. Great people. Disgusting politics though. Look no farther than that blowhard Joe Arpiao. Terror suspects get treated better than the people that have to go through that hell hole of a jail he has.
weepingjebus says:
I knew it was only a matter of time before the league would be dragged down by all the same political garbage infecting everything else. Can’t we just watch some football? Nope, progressives love America so much they have to change everything about it.
bucrightoff says:
Tampa is a much better choice than Arizona. I mean they are both loaded with old people, and both states seem a touch insane, but Tampa has some of the best strip clubs in the world, and many more of them.
crapsandviche says:
Interesting the NFL has such a problem with the Arizona bill, yet they have no Rooney rule forcing teams to interview Gays, Women, etc from being interviewed for jobs in the NFL. They also discriminate against males who want to be cheerleaders. When was the last time you saw a male cheerleader on the sidelines.
Big talk from an organization that doesn’t pay taxes……like most of the companies in Arizona.
kmartin173 says:
Either they want the game in Arizona or they don’t. If the NFL is going to cave to the PC police then this country is well on the way to becoming France.
cuda1234 says:
So the NFL is “open-minded” and “tolerant” as long as everyone does exactly what they say? Nice.
I wonder when the NFL will realize the complete lack of “diversity” in its “workplace”. Or when the union will be offended by it.
nehxas says:
@crapsandviche
There is only one openly gay player in the entire NFL, there can’t be much more in NFL front offices and I know of only two high ranking women. Such a rule would be a bigger joke than the Rooney rule. The same 1-3 people being passed around by the teams with a vacancy.
Also, I believe the Ravens have male cheerleaders. Not sure if there are others.
osiris33 says:
Change everything about it? They want to destroy everything about it. Look at the economy.
The game would never have been moved. It’s way too late. All the hotels in Tampa have already booked something else. It was just the NFL trying to accommodate the politically correct fascists by beating the drums. The law never said anything about gays, either. That was just a media distortion.
cbwv1974 says:
I take it Fed Ex Field, home of the Redskins was not one of the options

Look no farther than that blowhard Joe Arpiao. Terror suspects get treated better than the CRIMINALS” that have to go through that hell hole of a jail he has.
There, I fixed it for you.
nagaswan says:
are they also backing off the much more serious threat of forcing them to host the probowl?
catquick says:
I have watched the NFL for over 4 decades, and I am totally disgusted with their support for discrimination against people of faith. Im near the point of giving it up.
jazynaz says:
just because brewer vetoed the bill doesn’t excuse or delete the fact that arizona is a backward, punitive, prejudiced state that should not be “paid” and rewarded for not passing a bill they really wanted to pass, by being allowed to host a super bowl!
PacificNWMark says:
Glad to see Governor Brewer do the right thing here.
True conservatives oppose unnecessary laws (smaller government) and as the governor noted, there were no instances of religious liberty being threatened in Arizona that would justify this legislation.

‘All The World's A Stage’ by Boris Akunin
Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson,
5 October 2017.
ISBN: 978-1-4746-0440-6 (HB)
It is 1911 and Erast Petravich Fandorin, among other things, is a private investigator and lives in Moscow. He receives a telephone call from Olga, the widow of Chekhov, an actress and old friend of Fandorin. She is concerned about her fellow actress and friend Eliza who when she last saw her burst into floods of tears but wouldn't tell her what was wrong. She begs Fandorin to see if he can find out the problem, he reluctantly agrees and goes to the new theatre where Eliza is performing that evening.
As Fandorin watches Eliza on stage he falls desperately in love with her. Then to his horror as the play ends there is an incident which if it had not been for the quick action of Nonarikin a member of the cast, could have caused her serious injury or even cost her her life.
Fandorin starts with his investigations by meeting all the cast, the manager of the theatre, Noah Stern and their benefactor Andrei Shustrov. He becomes aware of an undercurrent within the theatre, the cast seem jealous of each other and all seem to think they should have the leading parts.
Desperate to get Eliza to take an interest in him, Fandorin takes his servant Masa's advice and writes a play especially for her. It is a great success and she falls for Fandorin but keeps her feelings hidden.
Unknown to him, Eliza's estranged husband Iskander has threatened her not to take any lovers or even admirers, if she does he says it will be her fault if something happens to them. When one is found dead the police think it is suicide but Eliza is convinced it is murder, so she is determined not to let Fandorin know how she feels about him, she fears for his life and even for her own.
When more deaths occur the police are convinced they are all suicides but Fandorin believes otherwise and is determined to find the truth. Of course he has no idea of the threats to Eliza and is puzzled as to the connection of the deaths, could they be suicides after all? When the theatre itself is threatened, all becomes clear. However his hardest task is to win over Eliza's love, he really is desperate, does he stand a chance, will there be a happy ending?
Although there are a number of deaths in the book I would still describe it as a lovely “gentle” story. Akunin has a wonderful way of describing emotions and I could feel poor Fandorin's pain when Eliza rejects him. The solving of the deaths is almost secondary to the real trauma Fandorin goes through.
At the end of the book is the play he writes for Eliza, well worth reading too.
Recommended for those who enjoy a crime story without the gore!
Boris Akunin is the pen name of Grigory Shalvovich Chkhartishvili, a Russian writer of Georgian origin. He was born 20 May 1956. He is best known as writer of detective and historical fiction. His Erast Fandorin books have sold over 18 million copies in Russia alone. He lives in London.
‘The House at Ladywell’ by Nicola Slade
Published by Crooked Cat Books,
8 September 2017.
ISBN: 978-1976203244.
ASIN: B075D9F35H
Freya Gibson is in her early thirties and, following her parents’ deaths, she is alone in the world, apart from her childhood friend Louise Barton. Freya works in London as PA for popular novelist Patrick Underwood. Still fragile after a destructive relationship and the loss of her parents, Freya is worried that Patrick’s attitude to her has become strangely remote and she is afraid that he wishes to replace her and get a new PA. Patrick is going on a business trip to America and Freya is planning to have a holiday when she hears that she has been left a house in Hampshire by Violet Wellman, a very distant cousin that she has never met.
Freya goes to view 2 Ladywell House and immediately falls in love with it. When she enters the house, she is greeted by the smell of roses, which makes her think of her late father’s garden. Later Freya discovers that some women and a few men can smell the scent of the flowers that mean a lot to them when they are in the house. The house has many carvings of hares and there are hares on the hill behind the house. An old legend prophesies disaster for anyone who harms a hare on the land of Ladywell.
Fascinated by her new house, Freya explores and finds a message from Violet telling her to complete a ritual sacred to the women of Ladywell and begging Freya to ‘restore the balance.’ As Freya delves deeper into the history of her property, she realises that this involves the rowan tree, the hares and a well of pure water, which has vanished but which Freya hopes to rediscover.
Freya is made welcome by her neighbours and the people of the town and, by questioning them and researching locally, she begins to unravel the secrets and history of her new home and of her own life. As she restores the balance in Ladywell, the house also helps her to restore the balance in her life and prepares her for Patrick’s return from America.
The House at Ladywell is a stand-alone novel set near Winchester in Hampshire, where many of the author’s series books are located. Most of the book is narrated in Freya’s First-Person viewpoint but when questions are raised in Freya’s mind about certain aspects of the history of the house, the author provides the reader with a cameo short story of that historical period, all involving the strong, ingenious and single-minded women who lived in and loved the house at Ladywell.
The House at Ladywell is not a crime story, although there are crimes, including murder, in the historical cameos. It is a romantic mystery story, as Freya discovers the secrets of her house and of her own childhood. In tone it reminded me of the writing of Mary Stewart, with its First-Person narrator heroine and the evocative descriptions of the house and countryside and the gentle touches of magic. Freya is a delightful protagonist and it is a very enjoyable read.
Nicola Slade was brought up in Poole, Dorset. She wrote children’s stories when her three children were growing up, moving onto short stories for several national magazines. Winning a story competition in Family Circle galvanised her into writing seriously and since then her stories and articles have been commissioned regularly. Scuba Dancin, a romantic comedy was her first published novel. After that she wrote a series of Victorian mysteries: Murder Most Welcome published by Robert Hale Ltd, 2008, featuring Charlotte Richmond, a young widow in the 1850s. Nicola has a second series, featuring former headmistress, Harriet Quigley, and her sidekick and cousin, Rev Sam Hathaway. Nicola, her husband and their cat live near Winchester in Hampshire.

The Fragility of Poppies
’Incognito’ by Khaled Talib
Published by World Castle Publishing,
19 April 2017.
ISBN: 978-1-62989-695-3 (PB)
The Pope has been kidnapped by a group called Sword, but they’re putting the blame on Muslims, and there will be bloody retaliation if three secret agents, led by Ayden Tanner, can’t manage to rescue his Holiness before Sword take them out …
This short novel is told mostly from Tanner’s point of view, moving occasionally to the other members of his team, Isabelle and Guy. All three are now officially dead, and handled by the mysterious Mr Somebody. Their job is simply to try and make bad better. Tanner is an ex-soldier, and we heard about his training for this elite unit. He’s a voracious reader, given to quoting obscure texts, and the situation forces him to think about his beliefs, which adds depth to the story. Isabelle has a dark history, and wields a mean machine gun, though I was sorry that much of her conversation was implausibly girly. Guy has let himself become stable, with a girlfriend. The action is typical secret agent movie mould, but there’s an added level of reality to their actions when we see the police clearing up the bodies after one of their skirmishes – you never see police dealing with 007’s massacres! There’s non-stop action, as the trio move from country to country, with Sword close behind, or sometimes, due to information leaks, in front, and a high body count. There’s loads to enjoy for people who like guns and technology, and a twisty plot which leaves your head spinning as you try to keep track of which side the players are on.
A fast-moving thriller with ambushes, chases, helicopters, disguises, and lots of shooting – perfect for lovers of James Bond and Mission Impossible.
Khaled Talib is the author of Smokescreen, Incognito and Gun Kiss, to be published in 2017 by Imajin Books. The author is a member of the Crime Writers Association and the International Thriller Writers. He resides in Singapore.

PROSITE documentation PDOC50151 [for PROSITE entry PS50151]
UVR domain profile
In prokaryote, nucleotide excision repair, DNA damage recognition and processing are achieved by the action of the uvrA, uvrB, and uvrC gene products [1]. UvrB and uvrC share a common domain of around 35 amino acids, the so called UVR domain. This domain in uvrB can interact with the homologous domain in uvrC. The crystal structure of Escherichia coli uvrB and uvrC dimer [2] revealed that the interaction is made throughout a coiled coil structure (see <PDB:1QOJ>). This interaction is important for the incision of the damaged strand [3].
A conserved region similar to the UVR domain is also found in the ATP-binding subunit of bacterial and chloroplastic Clp proteases, which suggest that the UVR domain is not only involved in the interaction between uvrB and uvrC.
The profile we developed covers the whole domain.
Because of the short size of the domain it is not possible to pick-up all UVR domains with a statistically significant score.

TE WHENUA
Te Ihu o Mataoho, or Ihumātao is located on the eastern fringes of the Manukau Harbour overlooking many prominent landmarks of Tāmaki Makaurau.
Standing on its highest point offers views like no other. To the east is the Manukau heads where the Tainui waka left for the west coast, and close to the place Pōtatatu Te Wherowhero signed the Declaration of Independence in 1839.
Moving clockwise is Te Waonui a Tiriwā (Waitākere Ranges), Maungawhau (Mt Eden), Maungakiekie (One Tree Hill), and just beyond the horizon is Ngā Tuaitara o Taikehu – named in reference to the peaks on Rangitoto Island. Further inland, is Ōtāhuhu, one of the oldest place names in Auckland and a name which was also known in Hawaiki.
Steeped in history
To the people of Te Kawerau ā Maki, and other iwi and hapū who have whakapapa here, Ihumātao is the centre of the universe.
Ihumātao is rich in history, both Māori and settler. It is a beautiful place that is full of stories.
Generations of Te Kawerau ā Maki have lived on or near Ihumātao for over 800 years. Despite at times being forced off the land, we maintained our place as ahi kaa – the people that have kept the home fires burning and watched over this unique land.
At every opportunity we have exercised our kaitiakitanga and fought the Crown and injustices at Ihumātao.
In 1863, the whenua was confiscated by the Crown and sold. For the past 150 years, it has been privately-owned land, and mana whenua have had to watch from afar as it was farmed and cared for by others.
From 2011 – 2013, we opposed plans to rezone the land from rural to future urban. Te Kawerau ā Maki joined others in taking the matter to the Environment Court, but that case was unsuccessful.
In December 2016, Fletcher Building purchased the land from its owners, the Wallace family, who had farmed the land.
Fletcher Building initially offered to on-sell the land, but no buyer came forward.
In September 2017, Heritage NZ approved Fletcher Building’s application to develop a 480-home community at the Ōruarangi Road site.
Possible Treaty Settlement?
No. This is not a Treaty issue, and it never has been.
Ihumātao was not available to Te Kawerau ā Maki, or, any iwi through a Treaty Settlement, as the Crown does not include privately-owned land in settlement negotiations.
When the land was put up for sale, our Iwi couldn’t have raised the money to buy it back. Now, mana whenua, has negotiated for land to be returned, for free.
Fletcher Building does not have to return the land but it is. For the first time in 150-years, mana whenua will have the land back. This is the first agreement of its sort between an iwi and a corporate and is a major win for iwi.
We will be on our land again, and we will sit at the table watching any development and protecting Ihumātao forever.
We are the guardians
Ko mātou nga kaitiaki. We are the guardians. Mana whenua will protect Ihumātao, as we have as kaitiaki for centuries.
We refer to this unique land as Te Ihu o Mataoho, to reflect the stories of old.
Mataoho was a nemesis to Mahuika (Deity of fire) and known to be the guardian of the volcanoes occupying Tāmaki. This is but one of many stories about our whenua and history.
We all have a responsibility to continue to watch over this whenua, and we will.
We have guaranteed that no development will happen on the 100-hectare Ōtuataua Stonefields, an area that is a part of our whakapapa.
We are protecting Ihumātao.
We are the mandated voice
During consultation, Fletcher Building wrote to the 13 iwi who are a part of Auckland Council’s mana whenua forum.
Te Kawerau ā Maki and Te Ākitai Waiohua expressed our mana at Ihumātao.
Our mandate, as Te Kawerau ā Maki, to work with Fletcher Building and to represent our people, comes from the responsibility put in our leaders to negotiate a settlement in 2008. We have continued to represent our iwi interests at a local and national government level.
Te Kawerau ā Maki has customary interests that extend from the Tāmaki isthmus, northwards through Hikurangi (West Auckland) and lands around the upper Waitemata Harbour and North Shore, and into the south Kaipara and Mahurangi.
Te Kawerau ā Maki acknowledges that other hapū and iwi also have whakapapa, or, interests to the whenua.
Since 2017, several protest groups have voiced their opposition to the Ōruarangi development, and the involvement of Te Kawerau ā Maki.
Groups such as SOUL, who are made up of the unions, Green political party supporters, academics, and whanau who have links to the local community, have criticised our approach.
The reality is, the protest groups have exhausted all legal avenues. The development has been exhaustively tested in a number of arenas, including the original Special Housing Authority (SHA) application hearing, through a Heritage NZ application, the Maori Land Court, by a United Nations committee in Geneva, and the Environment Court.
SOUL has also asked the Government and Council to buy the land on their behalf, again without success.
Many of the goals identified by the protestors will be achieved in the Ōruarangi development including the protection of Pukeiti beyond the edge of the existing Reserve.
The Ōruarangi development will go ahead and this is a welcome opportunity for our people.
The development will provide iwi access to housing at Ihumātao, that has not been available for two generations. We will also play an active role in preserving our environment and strengthening our unique culture for generations to come.
We will have land returned to us. Ironically, SOUL want to take that all away, and gift the whenua to all New Zealanders as a park. They do not support iwi development, or our aspirations for the future. No houses for iwi members, no land returned. Are they really any better than the people who stole the land in the first place?

AFRICAN TWILIGHT
Carol Beckwith & Angela Fisher
AFRICAN TWILIGHT is a celebration of the beautiful artistry and boundless creativity of Africa’s cultural heritage for audiences worldwide, transporting viewers into a world of connections between individual and community, body and soul, land and people.
The photographs on exhibition, covering the last 15 years of work in 48 African countries, bring the vibrancy, intimacy, personal connection and meaningful understanding for which the Beckwith/Fisher collaboration is renowned. The images capture the vast cultural diversity of the continent and span the human life cycle from birth to death, covering unique initiation ceremonies into adulthood, colourful rituals of courtship and marriage, the splendour of power and leadership in Royal Kingdoms, seasonal rites of survival, diverse religious beliefs, healing practices and, finally, extraordinary rituals of death and the fascinating role of the afterworld. Drawn from their continuing work documenting African ceremonies, AFRICAN TWILIGHT presents a phase II, following their landmark exhibition “Passages” premiered in 2000 by the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
The exhibition will consist of 85 photographs and 10 short video films which can be shown on monitors, or on a single screen. We invite each museum to present art objects from their collection to enhance the experience of Africa as a living tradition. We encourage museum programming that will inspire the audience to view the exhibition both as a source of learning and as a vital creative inspiration for young people today.
PREVIEW VIDEO of AFRICAN TWILIGHT footage
“Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher are not only truly remarkable photographers, but their dedication to preserving for all time the dazzling diversity of African Ceremonies is unparalleled. Their celebration of African cultures will forever serve as the most compelling and passionate portrayal of the splendour of human creativity from the very continent that gave rise to all humanity.”

THE WEATHER'S FUTURE
We’re connecting smartphone sensors to build the highest-resolution weather data platform available.
What is Pressure Net?
We are a Crowd sourced Network reporting Barometric data
PRESSURENET API
PressureNet API is a live atmosphere data feed
PRESSURENET SDK
PressureNet SDK is a distributed sensor platform
PRESSURENET
PressureNet is a citizen science weather app
GET IT ON GOOGLE APPS
Current weather infrastructure is too expensive and produces inaccurate forecasts.
One of the reasons we created pressure net is because weather forecasting across the world can vary greatly in terms of accuracy and can produce inaccurate forecasts. Failure to correctly predict weather patterns and changes can lead to devastating consequences for people who rely on the weather for crops or who live in areas susceptible to extreme weather. We want to change this.
Over the years there have been a number of failures in weather reporting that tragically have cost lives. Of course, a more accurate weather report could not have prevented the event but it might have restricted the deadly impact it could have. People often underestimate the full extent upon which lead generation can help to ensure that weather reporting becomes more accurate. Weather reporting can prove to be an extremely complex operation and it is in these companies best interests to use these technologies.
Pressure net aims to be the world’s biggest crowd sourced weather forecasting app. We gather data through barometers on phones and use user’s data to create a giant weather map spanning the globe which can be updated in real-time depending on weather conditions. This will eventually become a global community of weather forecasters which we hope will get a lot more people interested in weather forecasting and how weather can change.
Why is Pressure Net Important?
Pressure Net can predict changes in weather through user data
Pressure Net provides a platform to create and share pressure data
Pressure Net is innovating in the Weather reporting world
Weather warnings are Essential because they can be used to protect life and property
More Data Creates Better Forecasts
Let’s solve this problem together and build the biggest live atmosphere observation network ever.
With an estimated 2.5 billion smartphones across the world the untapped potential to create accurate and worldwide weather forecasts is huge. People often fail to understand the importance of successfully utilising B2B appointment setting which can hugely influence the performance levels of a firm. The more data the better. Some of the advantages of crowdsourced weather forecasting over main stream weather forecasting are as follows:
Barometric pressure readings en masse can help pickup even the smallest of weather changes such as wind speed changes and even errors of a few hours by large weather companies can have a big impact on farmers and energy firms.
Smartphone apps are a lot less expensive than constructing a weather station and using this software could greatly assist the general public as well as meteorologists in the future to understand and predict the ever-changing weather patterns the world goes through
There are many areas across the world that do not have weather stations populated adequately throughout them which can lead to gaps in data and information. However, in those areas there is a very large number of smartphones. With the development of our app and weather forecasting technologies these smartphones could be utilised to help map weather in areas that don’t get full or completely accurate forecasts
Making this change in global weather forecasting could have a wider impact for the global community. The success of weather forecasting through community run apps could help change the way we think about technology and how we can use it for something bigger.

Arbutus Greenway – Known Unknowns

City Conversations landscape
A high-profile and complex project, the Arbutus Greenway is a rightfully-recurring topic on this blog and other forums. Sometimes too recurring, though. It frankly elicited some fatigue last year with endless sustained and robust debate over its temporary surface treatments.
The City must have learned something useful from its first consultation round for the temporary greenway design, because the outreach process to inform the permanent greenway’s conceptual design is only half as long and almost over. As noted in Ken Ohrn’s previous post from January, the City is hosting three meetings and extending an online survey to the 15th to petition the public for its thoughts, opinions, concerns, and desires for the permanent future of this 9-km stretch of former rail corridor.
The corridor, with temporary treatments
The second meeting is tonight at the Marpole Community Centre. The last is this Saturday, February 11th from 2:30-5:30 at the Roundhouse Community Centre in Yaletown.
It is still early days for this project and the City is rightfully asking the big questions: What do you want? What should be preserved? What are the ‘must have’s? However, being impatient, other colleagues and I have preferred to consider the ‘next step’ logistical/engineering questions about how this space will actually work:
What exactly is going in the 20m right of way?
Is space being preserved for eventual 2-way light rail?
How will the design minimize conflicts between modes?
What surface treatments are you considering? How will you maintain them?
How are you going to manage the transitions across Broadway, W 16th, W 33rd, et. al?
What are you doing with buildings currently encroaching on the right of way?
still just a rendering for now
It was these and similar questions that, thanks to the Arbutus Communications Team, prompted an interview with Dale Bracewell, Vancouver’s Manager of Transportation Planning. We were originally going to meet on the greenway for a ride, but the weather had other ideas.
Over a half-hour chat, Dale walked me through the big picture and as much of the smaller picture as he could commit to at this stage. The City is still in the visioning stage but from previous consultation on the temporary greenway, known best practice, and feedback his team has received; there are already a number of lessons, known challenges, and likely themes the Arbutus Greenway will incorporate. Here are a few:
The Stanley Park Seawall is considered the local benchmark of greenway success. Elements that have traditionally ‘worked’ here will make their way onto Arbutus: accommodation of different mobility levels, integration with landscape and points of interest, separation of modes, etc.
Benchmark for a successful greenway – Seawall
Separation of modes will be a priority to reduce both actual and perceived risk of conflicts. This has been consistently communicated through all levels of project feedback. Depending on the area and availability of width, pedestrians and cyclists will be separated in some fashion.
Transitions across level streets will be a major factor in the design. Unlike other urban rails-to-trails greenways, Arbutus is neither sunken nor elevated, but level to the surrounding road network. Crossing minor roads will not be as problematic, but crossing major ones (Broadway, King Edward, W 41st) will likely require either some significant traffic network changes, expensive signalling, or level separation (bridges). This will drive some of the design’s biggest decisions and costs.
Green bridge over Broadway?
Integration with public transit will be another critical item. This thing might be part of the public transit network some day, so this is sensible. Easy access to and extra capacity at Arbutus extension skytrain station, W 41st St B-Line, and other crossing bus services will make their way into the Conceptual designs.
Protecting space for 2-way light rail is still on the table. This would be 8m-9m of the total 20m right of way. I’m not yet convinced there’s a business case for a streetcar or light rail here, but this space can be flexibly programmed in the short term while the transit corridor is being assessed/developed.
Other cities’ models will be reviewed. Ideas for some of the finer engineering and design elements that don’t come from the visioning exercise may be borrowed from other cities (i.e., surface treatments, design elements, lighting, etc.). This essentially includes programming opportunities and partnerships. Some facilities that the City is looking at are below:
Inspiration from Chicago – 606/Bloomingdale Line
And Sydney – The Goods Line
And Minneapolis – Midtown Greenway
And Auckland – Lightpath
Ultimately the greenway will offer improved direct connectivity to points north and south and transfer connections east and west. Whether it forever remains an active mode corridor or eventually includes a streetcar connecting Granville Island and…The Arthur Laing Bridge? Steveston?…it will be a popular and iconic public amenity. We’ll have trouble imagining what Vancouver was ever like without it.
For those not interested in ever getting those 36 minutes back, the full interview can be heard here.
Panel: Charting Progress from Green City to Eco City – Mar 2
New Transit Finance Plan From Prov Gov't
Frank Ducote says:
I think the north end of the greenway is very interesting. Yes, in the short term getting to the Granville Island area is desirable. In the slightly longer term, creating a link to the proposed Granville Bridge Greenway is much more exciting and impactful in the transportation sense. The vincinity of West 5th Avenue is most likely for this connection.
Arno Schortinghuis says:
Tunnels under major streets should be considered. A pedestrian/bike tunnel at Broadway might connect to the skytrain. Tunnel at 41st might be preferable. Note that tunnels have less elevation change than bridges. Protected intersection at King Ed would probably be sufficient.
coreyburger says:
Tunnels are terrible ideas. In order to be attractive enough (aka not a dank, ugly cavern), the amount of digging would be huge. Better to go with level crossings.
Adanac says:
True but there are ways to mitigate those aspects. Bright tiles, skylights, wide openings, Skytrain station lobby, etc.
A subway station will involve digging at the stations even if it’s bored for the rest of it.
But I’m cool with a level crossing too. There’s a pedestrian crossing light at Arbutus, the stopping area could be moved further East with the signal light timings having a different phase for turning traffic.
Dan Ross says:
Tunnels are tricky but I agree that they should at least be considered. Conflicts with underground and overhead utilities will be no fun regardless of how they’re settled. South of W 16th St the gap between Arbutus St and the greenway is only 8m-10m. It seems the least awful option will be to direct greenway users to the east leg intersection crossings, which will be widened for additional traffic and transitions from/to the greenway.
The tunnel under Georgia by Lost Lagoon is quite attractive. I have seen lots of tunnels in the Netherlands. At one intersection of two largish arterials, there were both tunnels and surface crossing options. There is also an awsome new tunnel under the train station in Amsterdam.
Ken Ohrn says:
Here’s an underpass tunnel that is open, bright and so on.
https://pricetags.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/underpass.png
Thomas Beyer says:
Sure .. with a 3 block ramp on either side ? The MAIN challenge is the numerous street crossings, every 50-60 meters. Unless dozens of roads are closed, which is an option to make Vancouver more walkable, ramps such as the one shown are not doable except for maybe Broadway or 41st.
An LRT / tram would kill the whole “enjoy your quiet walk” idea ! I hope they do not go there.
Jeff Leigh says:
“Sure .. with a 3 block ramp on either side”
Take a walk down to the pedestrian/cycling underpass under Georgia at the foot of Chilco. Do those ramps appear to be three blocks long to you?
A pedestrian/cycling tunnel could be done at Broadway, 41st, and SW Marine. It wouldn’t be needed at every crossing, many have stop signs.
Glad to see they are still considering maintaining space for 2 track transit. Obviously demand is not there now, but I am convinced it will be in 30 years and you can’t get that right of way back once it is gone.
If they bury the hydro wires, hopefully they are smart enough to bury them away from the future LRT RoW, so they won’t have to be re-located in future at great expense (when the concrete pad for the LRT tracks is laid).
Ron van der Eerden says:
The design MUST acknowledge the future rail transit from the get-go and there must be reminders en route that it will happen. It must be part of the definition of what the corridor is and must be ingrained into the common psyche.
Otherwise it will never be able to be implemented once a nice “park” will be impacted.
Alex Botta says:
Because the Broadway subway is slated to terminate at Arbutus and create a significant transferring choke point, one can presume the sidewalks will have to be expanded for hundreds of waiting transit riders during rush hours. It stands to reason that the east crosswalk could assume super-generous proportions to accommodate the Greenway. With the right design incorporating signals, embedded lighting, colourful paint or highly visible artistic designs, raised median and island segments, and perhaps all-points crossing on four red lights, one could envision a relatively inexpensive but effective crossing solution that could be fairly easily modified in future for an 8 m wide surface tramway.
If geotechnical conditions permit, the subway tunnel and station box roof needn’t be more than a metre or two below the underground utilities and to maintain a reasonable distance to the platform below. However, tunneling for a Greenway crossing and / or tram and also for the high-capacity subway at Broadway and Arbutus would be needlessly expensive where one tunnel would have to pass below the other. Tunneling the Greenway anywhere would be questionable, in my view, given the plethora of effective surface treatment options and the lower capacity of the Greenway.
A bridge for a tram cannot exceed 6% slope, so the ramps to a 6 m high bridge deck (with a 5 m underside clearance over Broadway) will require about 100 m of run on both sides, not including an elevated tram station platform which will push them out a lot farther. Getting back to ground on the north side may require closing 8th, 7th and possibly 6th avenues to accommodate the descending ramp structure on a descending slope. The same applies to 10th and 11th avenues to the south for the same reason, though it’s level. Consider also that both 8th and 10th avenues may become vital loops and stacking spaces for fleets of B-Lines schlepping thousands of subway riders to UBC and back from the short-sighted terminus location at Arbutus.
This is not the place for a debate on the subway / B-Line (at Arbutus) vs. LRT to UBC, but light rail aficionados will have to trouble themselves with an additional complexity: Fitting a 100 m station platform onto the surface at Broadway x Arbutus at right angles to the Greenway corridor while accounting for thousands of transferring riders an hour milling all around on the surface, as well as a branch tram line southward. VanMap and Google Earth will give you an idea of how many residents and businesses will have to be displaced.
“Because the Broadway subway is slated to terminate at Arbutus and create a significant transferring choke point, one can presume the sidewalks will have to be expanded for hundreds of waiting transit riders during rush hours”
I refer to the bus transfer to UBC, and not to any potential tram line transfer. At the consultations for the Broadway Subway this transfer was discussed, and we were advised that the transfer point to buses will not be on street, as per the current Commercial Drive station. Instead, it will be an off-street loop. I don’t know exactly where that loop would be located, but I imagine something very similar to the loop at Interurban Way, immediately south of the SW Marine Canada Line station.
The station is going to be under Broadway, and we know it is likely to include off street secure bike parking, similar to the Main St skytrain station and upcoming new parking for other Canada Line stations. If so, there will be ramps from each side of Broadway to access this point. I have suggested to the design engineers that the ramps be configured to provide a straight through tunnel underpass for pedestrians and bikes at the Greenway at Broadway, with access off the tunnel to the station. It is certainly possible for Greenway users to cross at grade, but if ramp access is already being built, it seems that connecting it straight through could make sense. It makes more sense to me than having ramps heading down, grade crossings, and a bridge over, with the complications of some users having to use more than one of those crossings to reach their destination.
bob tanner says:
UBC express bus could load on Arbutus then go west on 10th or 12th. Plenty of room on Arbutus if changed to a a one way (south ) street between Broadway & 12th.
Ending Broadway subway at Arbutus is a crime given the expected densification at Jericho land, and already planned UEL Block F densification and the one at UBC. It is poor city planning.
We shall see how this transition choke point will get managed while densification continues unabated a few blocks further west at Alma @ Broadway in Jericho lands. Will we see another Tsawwassen Mills like traffic disaster unfolding as Jericho land gets planned and then built out in short order ?
Alternatively, it could be considered fiscally responsible. How much debt do you want us to take on? Are there no limits?
While the subway may be slated to terminate at Arbutus, the difficulties associated with a bus turnaround, queuing and layover may suggest another location further east, imo. Say, at Granville, a much more prominent transfer point, ridershipwise. Limited sidewalk space will still be an issue, as at Commercial Drive.
Given that the bus loading will be off street, I would have thought Granville would be much more expensive for property acquisition. That alone would push it further west.
David Grigg says:
Before making any decision on hard infrastructure expenditure such as tunnels we must know 1/ if there is a business case and plan to build a light rail street car system such as that installed during the 2010 Winter Olympics. 2/ if a case can be made we must know the horizontal alignment within the right of way (RoW) and how the system negotiates its way below major arterials such as Broadway. Any expenditure on tunnels beforehand could result in blocking the optimal transit solution or causing unnecessary expenditure of millions of dollars to re engineer the system.
During a recent city workshop I asked the basic question. Will a study be undertaken to answer these fundamental questions?. The reply from the lead civil designer was affirmative. What I don’t know is the scope of the study. If the city restricted the scope to the Arbutus RoW then a business case is unlikely to be viable. If the study extended to False Creek Flats for access to Emily Carr university and the proposed St Paul’s hospital via Science World, Cambie/ Olympic Village at Canada line then the study may be able to present a viable business case. Better still would be to include within the study an option to extend to New Westminster sky train which would allow thousands of commuters travelling from south of the Fraser easy access to YVR and thereby ditch their cars. This could really be a Plan B following the Millennium line extension to Arbutus.
I don’t think there is a consideration of tunnelling a tram under Broadway. The tram has been described as a low speed, local, surface system. A bus on rails, in other words.
The tunnel I would be interested in is for pedestrians and bikes, at Arbutus. We heard about entrances planned for both sides of the street. In that case, I was just suggesting connecting the tunnel ramps entering from each side.
David, I am not sure which designers are referenced, but the City doesn’t build railways, that is the purvey of Translink. I can’t see an Arbutus tram being very high on their priority list, given their other system wide demands., not the least of which will be extending the Millenium line to UBC. That one is likely to take up to 20 years, per comments at the workshops.
You are absolutely correct. Translink would see the Arbutus line as a low priority. It could not be on their radar yet because the city has not publically raised the notion. That’s why a viability study is required to look at what regional needs could be met if a rapid, at grade, train were to connect with high density areas at transit nodes. I agree this is a Translink issue and that the slow tram idea suggested by the city would be so early last century. Modern at grade trains do not need an overhead catenary power line if the right of way is dedicated and off limits to the public and would conver distances quicker than a B line bus because of not having to stop at pedestrian and vehicle traffic lights. We still need to take this elephant out of the room first thereby allowing unencumbered plannning of the greenway.
Translink was at the same workshop, co hosting with the City planning staff for the Broadway Subway.
( LOW speed?) Top speed for a tram is 70k when running on its own ROW. If tram had control of traffic lights there would be no need for a tunnel or bridge over Broadway
But it wouldn’t be on its own ROW. It would be sharing the ROW with people walking and people on bikes. In other local situations where vehicles are sharing the roadway with those users, speed limits are typically 20 km/hr or 30 km/hr.
A bus on rails, IOW, not rapid transit.
A tram ROW with a barrier would need about 20 feet. leaving plenty of room for others It would be rapid transit running at about same speed as the skytrain
Voony says:
and again, you are very generous Jeff, it is rather less:
https://voony.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/bordeaux_tramway_speedlimit.jpg
what is acceptable for a couple of block, and can be even desirable from a transit viewpoint in some circonstances as seen in this post, becomes the nail in the coffin of the tram when applied on the whole length of the alignment..

Maharashtra Medical Council registration Certificates to have QR Codes
By Vicky PathareVicky Pathare, Mumbai Mirror | Updated: Oct 1, 2019, 22:55 IST
The certificates will now be delivered by Email.
In a first of its kind initiative, the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) will start issuing Certificates of Practice to registered practitioners that will have QR codes printed on them.
This is the first time the council will start issuing such certificates after the incidents of fake certificates submitted to the MMC by College of Physicians and Surgeons. The certificates will be provided online through E-mail with individual QR codes that will help to verify the authenticity of the certificates said the officials.
"We decided to issue such certificates that will help us to easily verify the authenticity after the incident when more than 100 of doctors form CPS were found guilty of submitting fake documents to the Council. From the month of October the certificates of practice given to doctors will have individual QR codes printed on them. This will help curb illegal practices as the data of the doctors registered us can be checked in few minutes,” said Dr Shivkumar Utture, President of MMC.
"The photos printed on the certificate will be scanned and printed. During the renewals of the certificate and even in case of new addition of qualification to the certificate the Certificate with QR Code will be issued. Earlier the certificates were delivered by courier to their registered doctor’s postal address but now it will be send by Email. The council has asked doctors to register their current email IDs and updated phone number with the MMC. When the code is scanned, it will provide all the details of the doctors, including their photographs. So, forgery and identity theft can be ruled out," said Dr Utture.

QNB Stars League Week 20 — Al Khor vs Al Kharaitiyat
Al Khor and Al Kharaitiyat go into their QNB Stars League Week 20 game on Sunday, 31st March, in contrasting moods. The kick-off is at 17:05 at the Al Khor Stadium.
Al Kharaitiyat completed a hat-trick of victories in the previous round, when they defeated Qatar SC 1-0, that earned them valuable nine points in their bid to stay in the First Division.
The clash between the two bottom-placed teams evokes much interest, like the one between Al Duhail and Al Sadd which may decide the title this week.
Al Khor are placed 11th with 15 points, three more than 12th-placed side Al Kharaitiyat, who will also fight it out because if they lose, Al Khor will move to 18 points, making their stay in the top flight at stake with just two more rounds to play.
Al Khor, who lost 0-1 to Al Rayyan in Week 19, have four wins, three draws and 12 defeats against their name. The Knights’ goal difference is -18 (17 goals for and 35 against).
Al Kharaitiyat have also won four matches, but they lost the remaining 15 games. They have a goal difference of -33, the worst record among all teams, having scored only 16 and conceded 49.
Al Khor had defeated Al Kharaitiyat 5-1 in the first leg.

writings on buddhism
David Loy
Sex in Buddhism
The Buddha seems to have seen sex and sexuality as being a big issue, even a problem. He offered one solution to it for thos e who are prepared to renounce family life — to join a celibate order of men or women. Then you spend most of your time in single sex situations, and when you are with members of the opposite sex, you are very careful because you have taken a vow not to get sexually involved, and if you break that vow you will be thrown out of the monastic order. Of course this does not work so well if you are sexually attracted to members of your own gender, and I will come back to that later.
Some people say that the main reason that the Buddha asked his monks and nuns to be celibate was simply because he wanted them to be free to wander, to practise meditation, to teach the Dharma, without any family responsibilities. In those days, men and women having sex meant almost certainly having children. So for the monks and nuns, sex is not an ethical issue, but it is one of defining the institution of the monastic Sangha. It is a legal point, and even if the sex involves no craving, it is still banned. This is a point made by Janet Gyatso in a survey of sex in Buddhism [in Lopez, Critical Terms in Buddhism, 2005].
If you are not a monk or nun, it would be assumed that you would eventually find a partner and have children, and there is plenty of advice for people in that situation, which I will come on to below. But it is interesting that the Buddha strongly encouraged people, if they could, not to have a family, and devote all their energies to practising and spreading the Dharma. This may be unique amongst the world religions, most of which encourage family life; the Buddhist attitude is called ‘anti-natalism’. People are often shocked when they hear of the Buddha himself leaving home when his son was still a tiny baby.
Nowadays, contraception means that you can be sexually active and still probably not have children, if you want to. So is monastic celibacy a thing of the past? There is a new kind of Buddhist, who David Loy describes as “less than monastic in lifestyle… More devoted to practise than the laity have usually been” [Money, Sex, War, Karma, 2008]. David Loy is an American scholar, and he says that monasticism is not attractive to most Buddhists in America, but many are practising very sincerely. In fact this is the model adopted in the Triratna Buddhist Order, which is described as “neither monastic nor lay”. For example, I am trying my best to be a full-time practitioner and teacher of Buddhism, and yet I do have a partner: and I’m glad to say that she is also very dedicated to her Buddhist practice.
Nevertheless, maybe we should not write off monasticism too quickly. Because I am not celibate, I definitely do feel a tension. Bonding together as a couple is such a strong pull. And in some ways that pull can compete with one’s attempts to have an open network of connections in the Sangha, and to be with one’s own gender. At the moment I’m living alone. But part of me would love to set up a home with my partner, and if we had been younger I expect we would have considered children. Yet I would love even more to set up a men’s community, since we don’t have one in West London where I live.
This is a tension, and of course if you gave up sex altogether, you would have to face other tensions. But as well as tensions there are potential negative difficulties in the Sangha if there are a lot of sexual relationships. Most Sanghas have been affected by this. In the Triratna Order, the founder of the order gave up being a celibate Buddhist monk and started being sexually active. Perhaps inevitably, his love affairs happened mainly with his own disciples, and this has caused some quite serious problems in the order, because it seems quite dangerous for a teacher to be sexually and romantically involved with his own disciples.
Can sex be spiritual?
On the other hand, Miranda Shaw, in her book Passionate Enlightenment says that Tantric Buddhism does not take this view of relationships in the Sangha. Even in the early days of Tantric Buddhism, which started in India about 1500 years ago, most practitioners found a sexual partner, lived a simple village life, made pilgrimages, and meditated intensively. “The seekers pursued a distinctive religious path that finds its most characteristic and nuanced expression in an intimate and sexual relationship.” So a woman alongside a man is (writes Shaw) the ideal Tantric pattern. Tantric practice could only get into the Tibetan monastic system by sublimating the imagery and practices, so that for Tibetan monks and nuns, the sexual themes of Tantric practice are regarded as symbolic.
But for some branches of tantra, sexual activity became a carefully regulated spiritual practice. Before you get too excited about this, I should say that usually it was very important not to come to a climax, and the man had to ensure he did not ejaculate. The intense pleasure had to be let go of, as one saw that like everything else it dissolves into complete openness. The sexual energy was thus supposed to be sublimated into a spiritual energy which brings alive the subtle visionary body of the practitioner. You arouse intense sexual desire, and then try to emulate the spacious calm of Nirvana by not acting on that desire.
Incidentally, Miranda Shaw says that the crucial role of women in the rise of Tantric Buddhism has not been recognized because “the study of other cultures continues to be undertaken from the perspective of providing documentation of the universality of oppression against women” — to legitimate current male dominance. Tantric Buddhism shows a society in which women were not necessarily being oppressed. (Passionate Enlightenment, 195-6.) I will try to publish something on gender in Buddhism soon.
Sexual ethics for those who are sexually active?
Celibacy for monks and nuns is a rule, even a law, to preserve the institution. But if you are not a monastic, is it unskilful to have sex? Skilfulness is the word that applies to ethics in Buddhism. It says that ethics itself is not a matter of rules and regulations, it is a matter of the mental state that your behaviour comes from, and what effects your behaviour has on others. You try to make sure that you act from mental states of love, clarity, stillness of mind, generosity, awareness and so on. And you try to make sure that you bring benefit rather than harm to other people through your actions.
How does sex fit with this? Does sex benefit other people or is it entirely selfish? Can it come from these skilful mental states or can it only come from longing, inner emptiness, frustration and craving? Well, traditional Buddhism definitely sees that sex is a normal part of life, and it tells you about skilful and unskilful sex. The third precept says: “I undertake as a part of my training to abstain from sexual misconduct”. Any sex involving violence or coercion is obviously extreme sexual misconduct. But the most widespread kind is to endanger an existing relationship through your sexual behaviour.
There is no condemnation of sex outside marriage, it’s sex inside marriage when you’re not the married person that is the problem! I mean coming between a committed couple by having sex with one of them. Also being unfaithful to your own partner breaks the third precept. And marriage doesn’t mean having gone through a particular ceremony; it means having made some kind of a commitment to another person, even if it’s only for one night. So it would be sexual misconduct to sleep with someone else who you know had made even the briefest commitment to another partner, because of the hurt and confusion you cause.
The great Buddhist teacher Nargarjuna says: “the pleasure of husband and wife is to be two bodies but one flesh; to take away one who another loves and destroy this deep sentiment is a crime.” (Peter Harvey, Introduction to Buddhist Ethics, 71.) Anyway, it seems quite reasonable to look carefully at your sexual life, and to see whether you can make it less self-centred, and more considerate of your effect on others.
Sex and negative mental states
For myself, I still do come back to this rather uncomfortable question, as to whether it is possible to have sex without unskilful mental states being involved, even if you are being very careful not to hurt the other person. Is sex primarily a selfish activity? That is an excellent introductory book on Buddhism by Roger Corless called The Vision of Buddhism, and he says: “Sex is an all-consuming passion. When we are involved in it our minds become muddy and confused. This precept warns us to watch out for the mental turbulence which often attends sex and, when in doubt, to refrain from it.” He goes on to suggest that ordinary life, with all its wants and fears, which is known as Samsara in Buddhism, is a drug we are addicted to. We can easily mistake a samsaric phenomenon for a means of escaping Samsara, and hence bind ourselves to the decay, disappearance and repetitive meaninglessness of that phenomenon. Perhaps sex can be rather like this. In fact traditionally it is seen as potentially strongly addictive. The middle way is to ask how liable one is to becoming addicted to sex if one indulges in it; remembering that a part of the addiction is denying that we are addicted (delusion, avidya). So strong self-interest, and overpowering craving are things to look out for in sex.
I think even Roger Corless’s view does not go far enough, because sex is not just about the slightly messy and potentially addictive things that go on under the bed covers. It is also about bonding together with another person in a romantic couple relationship. Nowadays we see sex as necessary for happiness, and we expect personal fulfilment through romance and sexual intimacy. Buddhism questions this expectation. It is quite hard to consider the possibility that sex is mainly an appetite driven by biology, not a marvellous and sacred thing! Because my bond with my partner feels unique, it floats me above my isolation, or so it seems. But then very often eventually the relationship is not as satisfying and fulfilling as we expect, and when it goes wrong we become very bitter and disillusioned. In fact, nobody else can make us feel complete. David Loy calls romance a “delusive cycle of infatuation and disappointment followed by a different infatuation” — when we look again for the right person. Of course committed relationships can be a great joy, but it’s important not to expect what they cannot give: they cannot fill our sense of lack. But I do believe that the Buddhist path shows how it is possible to fill that sense of lack in a far more effective way.
Exactly the same points about unskilful sex and the dangers of romantic entanglements apply to homosexual sex. As far as I can see, early Buddhism doesn’t see anything wrong with sexual attraction within one’s own gender. Highly sexed gay men sometimes tried to join the order of monks for the wrong reasons, and there were rules to try to stop that. Later on, different Buddhist schools took different approaches. The Dalai Lama’s school of Tibetan Buddhism, at least in theory, was rather intolerant, but he is very open-minded about talking things through with other people, and gay men and women have talked to him about it, and he feels that his school should relax its position.
I will give the last word to Karma Lekshe Tsomo, a Western Tibetan nun, who has no regrets about giving up sex. She loves being a celibate, saying that it avoids the cycle of “clinging, unfulfilled expectation, the pain of separation… [in relationships, where] often, the longing for a companion is a wish to complement one’s missing or undeveloped qualities… Celibacy, on the other hand, represents the decision to rely on one’s own inner authority. It is an attempt to achieve a balance and wholeness within, independent of the feedback of another person…. [and enables one to go beyond sexual attachment,] the major force that propels beings from one rebirth to the next ” (Tsomo, 1988, in Sakhayaditha, 55-6).

Margaine-Lacroix’s shocking dresses

Margaine-Lacroix and the dresses that shocked Paris – a talk by Susie Ralph
Susie Ralph
I introduced this talk at Chelsea Reference Library on Wednesday 17 July 2013 and I found it absolutely fascinating. But – I was amazed at the dress on display, showing how Margaine-Lacroix’s clinging draped styles, would have been constructed – fabric would be draped, pinned and cut on the dressmaker’s mannequin.

There are two splendid printed silk panels showing enlarged pictures of the Sylphides design. I also learned the designs were patented; her corsets helped found the Gossard empire – Henry William Gossard bought the rights to manufacture her corsets in the United States.

There is far more information in Susie Ralph’s guest blog post, but if you want to look at the dress, the exhibition runs until Sunday 28 July at Chelsea Reference Library.

Margaine-Lacroix and the dresses that shocked Paris
Published on July 12, 2013 July 19, 2013 by rbkclibraries14 Comments
Next week (15 to 28 July 2013) there will be an exhibition at Chelsea Gallery (part of Chelsea Reference Library) on the forgotten designer whose figure-revealing dresses caused a sensation in 1908 and launched the slender silhouette of the twentieth century. There will also be a private view and illustrated talk on Wednesday 17 July 2013.
This is a guest blog post from Susie Ralph, curator of this exhibition. She will also be giving the talk on Wednesday – please book your free place on 020 7361 3010.
The date – Sunday 10th of May 1908, the event – The Prix du Prince de Galles at Longchamp racecourse. A fashionably dressed crowd has gathered for this important date in the Parisian social calendar. The races are the place to see and be seen, where royalty and grandes dames rub shoulders with actresses and the demi-monde, all showing off the latest couture creations. Suddenly a furore breaks out as three beautiful models enter the enclosure – for beneath their exquisite and exceptionally clinging gowns they appear to be wearing – nothing! To add to the shock value, their dresses are split to the knee, revealing a glimpse of leg, barely disguised by the lightest of muslin coverings.
The Belle Époque was an era noted for its love of sensationalism, but even Parisians were astonished at such a display, and a crowd gathered to mob the mannequins. This event generated instant and international publicity for the daring new style, which the press called “ the directoire gown.” The models were dubbed “Les Nouvelles Merveilleuses” in reference to the semi-naked beauties of the French revolutionary period. It was obvious to all who saw them that the young women were wearing neither corset, petticoat nor chemise! The most beautiful of the three mannequins “ la belle Möina” was immediately offered a contract for a fabulous sum by the director of the Moulin Rouge – but the designer of the dresses that caused all the furore – who was she? Her name went almost unrecorded.
She was Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix, a Parisian designer whose long-established couture house had been founded by her mother Madame Margaine. Margaine-Lacroix became famous for her pioneering corsets-sylphides which featured elastic material and a minimum of boning, and she had outlets in Belgium and Buenos Aires which sold these innovative foundation garments. But her daring robe-sylphide gowns brought her even greater renown. These went a step further than the corset-sylphide, for they abolished the corset altogether. They were popular with the stage stars of the day, on account of their fluid lines and exceptionally figure moulding qualities.
The first mention of the robe-sylphide appeared in L’art et la Mode in 1899, the year that Margaine-Lacroix inherited her business from her mother. Advertised as “ sans corset” or “supprimant le corset” – “without corset” or “ abolishing the corset” a glowing article advised readers that this was “truly a fairy-like invention” for the manner in which it slimmed the figure, dispensing with the need for bulky under-garments.
How was it possible at this time to wear a dress without a corset? The turn of the twentieth century was a period of great innovation in the field of underwear, as attempts were made to break away from the old, rigidly boned, stiff corset and introduce foundation garments which gave the body a softer, more natural and flexible appearance. Knitted silk fabrics with a high degree of stretch were employed by the most avant-garde corsetières and the fore-runner of the modern brassiere made its first appearance. The aim was to show off the shape of the real body beneath the dress, rather than the artificial shape of the corset.
Margaine-Lacroix was a pioneer in this field and patented several versions of her robe-sylphide and corset-sylphide. One of these, a garment made from stretchy knitted silk fabric with only the lightest boning, outlined the hips and thighs and looked much like a fore-runner of today’s stretch bodies or magic knickers. In a rare interview given to the press, just days after her dresses scandalised the crowd at Longchamp, she explained her design philosophy and the construction of the dress which was worn without a corset:
“I have been patiently at work for years, educating the public to what women’s dresses really should be …only two garments cover the body – there is first a tight elastic silk jersey ….the outer garment is made to serve as its own corset, the bodice being strengthened with a little whalebone, not enough however to destroy its suppleness.”
It is astonishing, considering how much publicity Margaine-Lacroix’s dresses generated at the time, and how much influence they exerted on the course of fashion, that their creator’s name barely receives a passing mention today. The Longchamp incident has been completely forgotten. Reports at the time claimed that: “even Parisians stared,” and photographs, cartoons and even a satyrical poem about the daring new style, appeared in the press the following week. The news spread rapidly around the world, featuring in papers as far afield as New Zealand. The New York Times reported that:
“Pictures of the young women who displayed their charming persons in so-called directoire gowns, are printed in both capitals [Paris and London] and artists and moralists, men of the world, police officers and dressmakers have been interviewed in bewildering numbers”.
The repercussions of “directoire mania” caused several incidents, reported in the press. Amongst them was a riding accident on London’s fashionable Rotten Row. According to The New York Times’ London correspondent, this was caused by: “a vaudeville artiste …. dressed in a Directoire riding costume of cream broadcloth, cut tight to the figure and slashed on the left side to the knee, showing a long, white riding boot.” Her sensational appearance caused a rider, turning around in the saddle to survey her, to come into violent collision with Winston Churchill’s horse.
The same article related that leading dressmakers in London were already busy with orders for directoire gowns, in numbers that indicated the style’s success, and that the new silhouette would be seen at Ascot: “All will be influenced by the directoire revival.” The week following the Longchamp incident, Lily Langtry was photographed “dressed in a directoire gown” strolling through the paddock at Chester races with the Duke of Westminster.
The sensational directoire style apparently caused a near riot in Chicago, when “a pushing, scrambling mob of 10,000 persons” gathered to watch a “pretty girl in a directoire gown” who had accepted a bet of $500, walk through the town clad in the new fashion! The incident may in fact have happened during the shooting of “The Directoire Gown,” a film made in Chicago in 1908 that featured a similar scene and evidently aimed to cash in on the notoriety of the new fashion.
Actress Marcelle Yrven caused her own sensation, when she appeared on stage in a robe-sylphide, and admirers were expressly banned from entering her dressing room, as “ the charming artiste had decided to wear her dress without any underwear.” It was reported that “ the dress seemed glued to her body, and all Parisiennes worthy of the name, wished to see it.”
Perhaps the most significant statement printed at the time, was this announcement from an un-named “authority.”
“To wear even a modified directoire style ….. women have had to change their figures; the hips are being reduced; the waist however is a little larger, in order to reduce the apparent size of the hips.”
Overnight it seems, thanks to the Longchamp exposure of Margaine-Lacroix’s daring gowns, a new body-ideal had established itself. What became most sort after by fashionable women everywhere was la ligne – “the line,” or new slender silhouette. La ligne sounded the death-knell for the old-fashioned ideal of tightly corseted waistline and prominent bosom. In July of 1908, Les Modes reported on the fashions worn during La Grande Semaine – the week that closed the Paris season. The journal informed its readers that the styles which had “bouleversée” or shaken up race-goers when they made their first appearance in May, were now in the process of totally shaking up fashion. They were to be seen, only slightly modified, on “ toutes les élégantes” – all the most stylish society women attending the final event of the season, the Grand Steeplechase at Auteuil.
The year 1908 marked the true turning point in fashion, when the stiffly corseted, heavy-bosomed ideal of the Fin-de-Siècle, with its attendant bulk of rustling underwear, finally became demodé – and the slender new twentieth century silhouette was launched. Margaine-Lacroix’s important rôle in bringing about this great fashion change, has long since been forgotten, in part due to the attention today accorded to Paul Poiret and the influence of the Ballets Russes. Poiret was one amongst a handful of designers who were all seeking to promote a more natural, slender, less corseted figure – an ideal that chimed with the mood of modernism taking hold in the new century. Vionnet and Lucile can both be counted amongst this number. Close study of newspapers and fashion journals for the year 1908 however, proves that it was Margaine-Lacroix’s robes-sylphides, and in particular the exaggerated versions exposed at Longchamps, that brought about the desired change. Then as now, when designers wished to state their case, they exaggerated their styles in order to achieve the maximum publicity. Vionnet has often been credited with “inventing the bias cut,” that method of draping the fabric so it clings to the body. Photographs reveal that Margaine-Lacroix was using this method for her robes-sylphide as early as 1907, if not before and employed it for the “Merveilleuse” dresses.
The explosion of the Ballets Russes onto the Parisian stage in 1909, and its perceived influence on fashion in general and Poiret in particular, has greatly coloured dress historians’ view of the late Belle Époque. Margaine-Lacroix has been forgotten, cast into shadow by the splendours of the Russian Ballet, and the exquisite illustrations of Poiret’s gowns. But influential as these were, it was Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix who brought about the general adoption of the lean, modern look. The daring dresses she exposed at Longchamp provided the catalyst needed to bring about change.
Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix deserves to be recognised as the designer who succeeded in “ bouleversant la mode” or “knocking fashion sideways” as Les Modes reported in July 1908, describing her narrow clinging style thus: “It is the dress of the moment, that which gives us the silhouette of a modern Merveilleuse.” Dedicated to her craft, but apparently not given to self-advertisement, the Longchamp incident seems to be the only occasion on which Margaine-Lacroix went out of her way to court publicity – and then for her dresses alone, not for herself. She deserves to be recognised as one of the most influential designers of the late Belle Époque. She introduced the uncorseted figure as early as 1899, and the fashion world finally set its seal of approval on her modern silhouette in 1908. Her innovative construction techniques and employment of the bias-cut, created the first modern dresses that clung to and revealed the body. In an age well before the invention of Lycra, she created the first body-con dress – the robe-sylphide.

How Chanel’s Stylish Creations Preserve Ancient Crafts and the Artisans Who Practice Them
From a 19th-century Parisian feather house to a weaver in a small town near the Pyrenees, the fashion giant is preserving artisanship of all luxury stripes.

These 4 Women’s Watches Will Help You Conquer the Boardroom
Robb Reader: Annabelle Boudinot of Race for Water – the Breguet-Backed Bid to Save Our Oceans
In the small French town of Pau near the Pyrenees, inside a sprawling workshop with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking green meadows, a weaver threads spools of endless yarn in an enormous loom. The strands are strung chaotically and every which way, yet the intently focussed artisan keeps track of each slender filament as it’s pulled through the machine’s many stations. The process, called warping, has been done the same way for centuries. It’s a tedious undertaking that will require four, maybe five, days of labour; only then will she begin weaving the fabrics.
Today, she’s warping numerous strands for a tweed fabric—and not just any tweed: This one is woven with a thread of minuscule sequins that reflect the light, creating a slightly effervescent textile. This and Chanel’s other famous tweeds—which the brand uses for its signature jackets, handbags and elegant Peter Marino–designed furnishings—are made here.

The workshop, called ACT3, was established 23 years ago by weaving expert Maria Messner, a native of Salzburg, Austria, who moved to Pau for its reputation as a textile hub. From the start, she had no intention of making traditional cloth; instead, she experimented with new materials and unconventional combinations of wool, tulle, leather and more. She peddled her creative cloths to the Parisian fashion houses, including Chanel, Dior and Christian Lacroix. Hers was a laborious job—one that required skill, passion and dedication—and though her business was thriving, she worried about how she and her 23 employees would sustain it. So, four years ago, she asked her biggest client, Chanel, to invest.
Today, ACT3 is one of 27 artisan workshops that Chanel has systematically acquired or partly funded to ensure that the sources for its specialty products thrive—and ultimately save age-old artisan crafts from potential extinction. When we think of the French global powerhouse, we tend to imagine grand-scale production, but the family-owned business, which brought in more than $11 billion (or around £8.35 billion) in sales last year, has a strategy that’s rooted in small-scale artisan manufacturing. It started investing in its core artisan suppliers in 1985, and in 1997 it established its Paraffection subsidiary (the name translates to “for the love of”) to perpetuate and preserve these crafts. In most cases, Chanel acquired these suppliers, yet the brand opted not to interfere with their production or management—even allowing them to create for other fashion houses. The aim was to financially support the small artisan workshops that otherwise might not have had the resources to survive.

Could such high-fashion altruism be the future of luxury goods? Indeed, if big brands want to build an audience among a new, often younger set of consumers—who see fashion’s potential to be more than a mere status symbol— they must support the heritage and artisanship behind their products. It’s not enough to look good anymore—our purchases need to do good, too.
Chanel’s president of fashion, Bruno Pavlovsky, who also oversees the Paraffection division, said recently, “I believe more and more that, in the future, this emotional value will be the success of the luxury market. If you lose the emotion, you will lose the value, and that’s something we believe very strongly in at Chanel. We need to keep that.”

Pavlovsky isn’t alone. The movement to support the many rungs of craftsmanship is happening beyond Chanel: Luxury-goods leaders LVMH and Kering are also investing in artisans and establishing schools to train new generations in age-old crafts. LVMH even opted to shine a spotlight on its artisans with Les Journées Particulières, a biennial event that opens to the public the private doors of dozens of its workshops across Europe.
Of course, there’s profit to be made with these magnanimous endeavors, but this kind of long-term commitment doesn’t come cheap. For instance, Chanel’s Métiers d’Art collection, which the late Karl Lagerfeld launched in 2002, has become one of the brand’s most celebrated—and costly—shows of craftsmanship, with elaborate fashion presentations taking place in a new destination each year. (Last December’s Egyptian-themed collection, unveiled in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Temple of Dendur, was a high point for the series.) Next year, in Parisian suburb Aubervilliers, Chanel will open a sprawling 275,000-square-foot campus, designed by the French architect Rudy Ricciotti, to bring together the different workshops on a single site, while preserving their individual identities as independent entities. Such measures have bolstered many artisans and, in some cases, saved entire crafts, as was the case with the 19th-century Parisian feather house Lemarié—perhaps the only remaining plumassier—which Chanel acquired in 1996.

Lagerfeld always recognised the need for ateliers to innovate—regardless of cost—and that recognition continues today. “With Chanel, there is no limit to what you can make,” says Messner. “Some fashion houses come to me and ask about price. Not Chanel. Creativity is the most important thing for them.” That’s why it takes on average two months to make a single Chanel tweed. (That’s also why the pieces come with such high price tags.)
Patrick Goossens also understands the drive to innovate. His late father, French jeweller Robert Goossens, collaborated with Coco Chanel for decades. “The worries of the business side of things are gone now,” says Goossens, who sold the family business to Chanel in 2005 and now serves as its artistic director. “Now I can focus on creation.”

Trained as a classical jeweller in Paris, Goossens joined his father’s atelier at 19. Over the years he worked to execute Lagerfeld’s—and now Chanel creative director Virginie Viard’s—vision through exquisite jewellery and objects. For last year’s Egyptian-themed collection, Lagerfeld and Viard wanted gold beetles for jewellery and accessories, so Goossens replicated the beetles his father had made for Chanel 50 years ago, using the original models from his extensive archives. The artisans in Lesage’s workshop make bronze-and gold-plated pieces the same way fine jewellery is made by hand: from a wax mold. It’s a process that could easily be automated—but that’s not luxury.
In Montmartre, the embroidery house Maison Lesage has a treasure trove of 75,000 samples dating back more than a century, but when Chanel acquired the atelier in 2002, Lagerfeld was interested only in looking to the future. “Most designers look in the archives for ideas, [but] not Karl; he wanted something totally new every time,” says Hubert Barrère, Lesage’s artistic director. When Barrère entered the embroidery trade in 1989, his goal was to impart a new sense of creativity—a mission shared by Lagerfeld. “I mix baroque and modernity,” Barrère says. His is a skillful job that has required almost a decade of training to master. An embroidered couture dress, for instance, may require up to 1,000 hours of handiwork to complete. Chanel accounts for roughly 70 percent of Barrère’s business, and he says the collaboration is especially fruitful due to the fashion house’s desire to infuse craft with a modern spirit. “I usually have a conversation with Virginie about the theme,” he says, “and I brainstorm with my team and we present concepts to execute the vision.”

The Paraffection subsidiary is rife with similar stories. The House of Desrues—the first métier d’art acquired by Chanel, in 1985—produces buttons, jewellery, belt buckles and handbag clasps for the label. Chanel’s coveted handbags are made at the Ateliers de Verneuil-en-Halatte, where a heritage is preserved that is both cultural and technical. Apprentices work for four to five years before they can seamlessly carry out the 180 techniques required to bring a single bag to life. And in the Scottish town of Hawick, 200 craftspeople at Barrie—founded by Walter Barrie and Robert Kersel in 1903—manufacture the brand’s cashmere.
These ateliers are ushering Chanel into its next era: a period where human creativity and handwork and emotion are more valuable than a £7,500 handbag or £15,000 gown.

India has tremendous opportunities in active entertainment: Shripal Morakhia, Smaaash
"We will have by the end of this financial year about 700,000 square feet under management and in 18 months time we want to increase it to about a million square feet," said Morakhia.ET Now | August 10, 2017, 08:48 IST
"We are looking to raise close to about $70 million. We are too skewed towards debt at this point of time. We want to reduce our leverage and we want to increase our equity funding," Morakhia added.
In an interview with ET Now, Shripal Morakhia, Chairman, Smaaash, talks about the acquisition of bluO from PVR and the the company's future plans. Edityed excerpts:
What triggered this acquisition? Please tell us more about it?
Shripal Morakhia: We want to grow. I think India has tremendous opportunities in active entertainment. All the brands today are invested, are interested in making a spectator out of you as opposed to a player. We are the only people who are interested in making a player out of you and make you celebrate whether you win or lose and that is the uniqueness of our brand. We are a brand where friends come in and move out as families and families come in and move out as friends and we thought this would cement our positions in the urban India and therefore we decided to pursue this acquisition and close it.
Where does this acquisition take you?
Shripal Morakhia: Last year we had roughly 200,000 square feet under management. We will have by the end of this financial year about 700,000 square feet under management and in 18 months time we want to increase it to about a million square feet under management. So we are looking at India as a tremendous opportunity and that bodes very well for us.
Just India? You were talking about Minneapolis and Saudi Arabia too.
Shripal Morakhia: We opened in Minneapolis in last November. We have been very, very well received. In fact the technology was so very well received in Minneapolis that the governor of Minneapolis declared November 14th as the Shripal Morakhia Day. It is gazetted also and we recently expanded that centre and we are now moving to Saudi Arabia and hopefully if things go well, we will be announcing one more joint venture next week which will make us one of the largest players in the active entertainment segment where we will have the attention of nearly 62% of the global footprint.
I would imagine that if you are going global in such a big manner that you would require funding and adequate backing so you have Sachin Tendulkar and Mauritius based FW sports investment fund as key investors. What about the capital requirements to go global, I mean are you going to get more names on board is there going to be more backing?
Shripal Morakhia: Yes, yes absolutely.
Is Sachin getting on board I know that he is part of the..
Shripal Morakhia: What I can say at this point of time is we are evaluating a number of options both the financial markets as well as strategic options and we will be announcing this in the next couple of weeks times.
So financial markets means IPO.
Shripal Morakhia: Yes, it could be private equity, it could be IPO.
Being an ex-banker would you want that?
Shripal Morakhia: No, I am happy with anything so long as money comes in and the dreams are viewed I am fine with anything.
But what kind of money are you looking at?
Shripal Morakhia: We are looking to raise close to about $70 million. We are too skewed towards debt at this point of time. We want to reduce our leverage and we want to increase our equity funding and as I said we are coming up with a massive inner India’s Smaaash strategy as I said we will have a global strategy which will be attuned to whole part of Southeast Asia and we have a products division of our own and last year we sold Rs 16 crore of our products and this year we will end up selling about Rs 40 crore of our products. So in the gaming technology we have nearly 60 products even my competitors such as Namco Bandai or Sega, who have been in market for 30 years, plus have less than 30 products and we are the only people who are there in active sports.
How would you value the business of Smaaash in lieu of all the acquisitions that you are doing, in lieu of raising money via an IPO what is it, I mean is it a retail model to valuate footfalls what is the best way to go about?
Shripal Morakhia: I look at this business slightly separately. I think we create emotional bonding. I think that is the most important thing.
That is priceless so let us talk about pricing.
Shripal Morakhia: So the best way to look at it is you compare ourselves to a quasi-retail model we are neither an exhibition house, neither a restaurant, nor a retail place so we are a combination of three, but the most important thing to realise is that we have proprietary technology of our own which none of these three models have.

Tim Burton puts his quirky spin and family and friends into the newest Alice in Wonderland
A review of Alice in Wonderland
The 2010 rendition of Alice in Wonderland reeks of Tim Burton’s directorial style. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, but don’t expect to be surprised by casting choices and the style of the wonderland Alice discovers (or, more precisely, rediscovers).
You’ll find both Burton favourites here, Johnny Depp playing the Mad Hatter (who has lost his head) and Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter playing the Red Queen (who has quite a sizeable head).
A whole host of Birtish favourites are recognisable in the film, keep an ear out for Alan ‘Snape’ Rickman as the Blue Caterpillar, Stephen ‘QI’ Fry as the Cheshire Cat, Matt ‘Little Britain’ Lucas as Tweedles Dum and Dee and Barbara ‘Peggy’ Windsor as the Dormouse. The world created by Burton is visually stunning but for those approaching Alice in Wonderland expecting a live action version of the Disney film they grew up with (or a big screen adaptation of what is, quite frankly, a vivid but fairly disturbing book) there may be disappointment.
The fact that the key focus throughout the film is whether Alice (played here by Mia Wasikowska) is in fact Alice are pertinent; this is not the Alice story people know. Descriptions of her being ‘almost Alice’ are apt and is a tag that can easily be applied to the film as a whole. Perhaps, more precisely, viewers should approach the film with the understanding that is is instead ‘after Alice’. Wasikowska’s Alice is noticeably older than the Alice of Carroll’s book and Disney’s animated film and thus has to deal with proposals and family expectations.
The film’s content is visually intricate but its story-telling can sometimes sit uncomfortably with the notions people have about the story and Depp, for once, fails to provide the winning performance of the film. His Hatter is noticeably strange, but his apparent schizophrenia is sometimes confusing and bombards the film with unnecessary layers. The strange relationship that teeters between Alice and the Hatter can sometimes be unsettling. Anne Hathaway’s White Queen lacks screen time and it is instead Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen who steals the show.
Alice’s listing of impossible things she could believe before breakfast is misplaced, being reeled out amidst a fight with the Jabberwocky and the film’s momentum seems to be regularly stalled by the imposition of new material. With the quirky content of the story it is amazing that Burton has picked up the Alice story sooner, but it is a shame that the story was revamped; a live-action adaptation of the book would have been a spectacle in itself but Burton’s active decision to revitalise the story by setting the story some time in Alice’s future and implanting several flashbacks in order to give Alice a framework cost him some rave reviews, instead creating a film that is made mediocre by its handling of a well-loved story.
Best line: ‘Off with their heads!’
Best performance: Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen.
Dwayne Johnson was considered to play the part of the Mad Hatter!

About RoSPA
Getting personal: Staying safe at work and at home
At L’Oréal we have laid the foundations and created a safe and healthy space within which our workers can thrive. Our next step is to ensure that people truly understand the value of why getting safety right is as important to each of them as it is to the ‘business’. Making safety personal and encouraging the transfer of safety-related information into the non-work environment sends the message that we value our people.
To use the technical term ‘human capital’ in relation to such a personal topic might be perceived as distancing ‘us’ from the harsh reality of ‘safety gone wrong’, however it aligns our approach with GRI403 occupational health and safety, and is underpinned by an understanding of leading indicators and other measures used to inform our management and enable us to evaluate our OHS performance and share what works.
In addition to aligning our approach, we are part of a constellation of organisations leading on the implementation of GRI403, an influencer linked to the work of the Center for Safety & Health Sustainability (CSHS), and acting as host for the fourth CSHS workshop, supported by IOSH in a few week’s time.
The individual elements of GRI403 are referred to as ‘disclosures’ – an interesting choice of word, heralding the idea that new or secret information is being made available about the topic under consideration – which encourage the sharing of leading indicators and the safeguarding of human capital on a local to truly global scale.
The challenges of creating safe and healthy environments and sustainable working lives, set against the backdrop of an ageing workforce, makes it imperative to understand our data. Age, gender, migrant status, work type, and the methodologies used to compile data including underpinning assumptions, are all elements we need to comprehend.
Also included is commuting incidents (a common interest between L’Oréal and RoSPA); i.e. workers travelling between a place of private activity, for example their home, and a place of work. All modes of travel, such as motor vehicles, railed vehicles, bicycles, aircraft and walking are included.
The mix of L’Oréal sites, RoSPA members and award winners, and the team of international RoSPA Awards Ambassadors is a rich one which lends itself to championing GRI403. Representatives from this network and others have been invited to participate in the fourth CSHS workshop in April. I look forward to sharing the outcomes with you and identifying how we can work together going forward.

Is there a plausible explanation for a large number of armed adventurers in a fantasy RPG setting?
I'm working on a Dungeons & Dragons setting. I'm looking for a comprehensive and logical explanation why, in a feudal society similar to Western Europe in the Middle Ages, there might be bands of armed adventurers (both male and female) wandering the country, slaying monsters, and frequenting taverns.
Does it follow that if you introduce magic and monsters guarding dungeons filled with treasure into a historical medieval setting, you'll see an adventuring class emerge? Have there been any real world analogues to an "adventuring class" (obviously without the monsters and magic)?

\$\begingroup\$ This question has generated huge amounts of arguing in comments. Most of you should know better. For those of you who don't, use your answer to make your point. Edit your answer to be more comprehensive to argue against general points made in other answers. Use the intention to argue as an opportunity to make your answer better. Beyond that, our flamethrowers have plenty of fuel. \$\endgroup\$ – Brian Ballsun-Stanton Apr 21 '14 at 11:21
Would adventurers arise if treasure was about...
To your first question, yes. Though it is more about "dungeons filled with treasure" then necessarily the magic or the monsters. People tend to seek ways to make profits, especially if those can be made quickly. People are willing to take on risky endeavors to do so. Today, in the "First World", we tend to talk about risk more in terms of capital than human life and get squeemish about things that are inherently risky to our lives. But even today jobs like construction involve a mortality rate and people still do them. In the past cultures were more accepting of risks to life, and it remains that way in some so called "Third World" countries. So, yes if you have a large amount of treasure that can be claimed but it is being gaurded by monsters, you will rapidly develop a group of people that will go after it (and even more rapidly and more openly if it is legal to do so, but it will still happen if it is illegal.)
As for real world analogues, there have been a few though they tended to be seen as more villainous than heroic. Graverobbers were (and to a degree still are) very real, and they sought to take items of value from tombs and graves (in Western cultures, mostly jewelry buried with the dead, but in some cultures large amounts of wealth could be buried with the wealthy. Most famous were the tombs of the well off in Ancient Egypt). Many adventures in D&D remain essentially grave robbing only with monsters guarding the grave and often some sort of back story that makes it either "good" or a "necessary evil" to help with the morality.
Another close analog is highwaymen. They would lay in wait for passing groups and then either force them to pay a toll they imposed themselves or outright rob them (sometimes killing in the process). The difference is that they were generally regarded as criminals if not villains. In RPGs we have the adventurers go after "acceptable targets" by introducing monsters or by having them hunt down the criminals, but it isn't that different in concept.
Speaking of hunting down the criminals, bounty hunters were and are real; though in the modern day it is much more about tracking down the fugitive and then persuading them to return than it is about action filled chases and melee fights.

In real history, almost no land except impassible mountains and deep desert wasn't settled, and there are exceptions even then. The population of the world during the European medieval age was much lower than today, but widely spread out in all the known habitable regions of Earth.
Take that, and now add powerful, inimical monsters to the wilderness. Suddenly, most of the world is not safe to settle. The predatory monsters exert a pressure against the expansion of human(oid) settlement, creating population pressures. When birth rates plus that containing pressure cause the existing settled land to become even slightly a premium, a class of people who leave home to find better lives will spontaneously arise.
Adding treasure to the wild places only increases the chance a poor family's "extra", youngest children might swell the ranks of that class. Those are your adventurers.
Most of them die, of course. The life expectancy of an adventurer is not great. But this is part of the balance: civilisation bleeds off its excess young, and in the process a few of them might slightly move the frontier outward, creating more space for the existing and future population. An equilibrium is maintained among expansion, death by monsters, new adventurers, and birth rate.
What about women?
Worrying about the believability of female adventurers in fantasy is ironically contrary to real history. Women have always fought; all-woman military units and women integrated into armies had just always been downplayed or outright ignored by those who wrote the contemporaneous histories. The medieval world was much more diverse than we typically believe — mostly, because when we dream up a fantasy setting, we tend to unconsciously assume that the broadest, simplest tropes (such as "Europe is white" and "men were the fighters and rulers") exist because they were true, instead of because tropes are always simplistic generalities. In reality, medieval Europe was quite cosmopolitan and liberal about who could do what and go where.
Fantasy tropes are misleading when it comes to minority representation — and in fantasy Europe, women are a “minority”. The unconscious downplaying of women’s diverse social roles in fantasy tropes of Europe mirrors the same non-historical skew with other minorities. The evidence we have of other minorities being widespread in Europe is ample, yet we still think of fantasy Europe as “white” when we picture European-based fantasy settings. Ethnically, most of Europe was never lily-white—what with the "swarthy" Mediterranean and Eastern European cultures who ruled during the Roman Empire, the centuries of "Moorish" Hispania (to mention only two), and the mounting evidence in historical art of Black Europeans being common only small portions of Europe were ever solely "white" (and stayed "white") as we tend to see in fantasy art.
The same goes for women — many rulers, landowners, and warriors were women, despite typical fantasy art.
So, ironically, to give a plausible justification for both male and female adventurers, you just have to look to real history and avoid the unrealistic simplified sameness of typical fantasy settings.

"Adventurers" in the real world
Real-world "adventurers" engage in:
Trade. A lot of human activity is based on the exchange of stuff for other stuff that you want more.
Exploration. Mainly to open up new opportunities for trade. Depending on the era, an explorer might be motivated by the desire to stake out their own land claims, rewards from patrons, or the fame and fortune that comes from being a celebrity.
Raiding and brigandage. This is like trade, except you're using violence and the threat of more violence to take other people's stuff.
Fighting. Kinda way down on the list, really, because it's more dangerous than trading amicably or forcing powerless people to give you stuff.
Examples to look at include Vikings, free-company mercenaries, and privateers.
The thing is, a lot of these people operate in large groups and generally try to avoid fighting. This may or may not be a good fit for the game you have in mind. For example:
Older editions of D&D generally reward weaseling out of fights and expect you to have a big gang of hirelings and retainers following you around (especially if you integrate some wargame rules).
A game like Burning Wheel, Apocalypse World, or Reign lets you abstract the big group and focus on interpersonal drama, the political power of leadership, &c.
More recent editions of D&D are geared towards small team-on-team fights, not wandering the countryside with a crew of 40 at your back.
Note that, in a more historically-grounded setting, a lot of archetypal D&D parties aren't really socially-accepted "adventurers" as much as they're just bandits and graverobbers. Fundamentally, that puts them in the social class of outlaws and outcasts — they have few obligations but even fewer legal rights. Realistic vagrancy is seldom a fun or profitable occupation, though.
"Dungeons" in the real world
Dungeons full of loot aren't really part of a realistic medieval setting. There are barrows with grave goods and stuff. These aren't exactly expansive complexes. Also you can try to rob relics from, you know, an active church with people in it. It's going to be kinda difficult to make either of these activities seem suitably grand and heroic, though. Probably the only real historical analog to dungeoneering is later European Egyptomania.
It's easier to integrate monsters and magic because there's a much deeper storytelling tradition to draw on, with room for protagonists of all sorts of social backgrounds — questing knights, cunning peasants, desirable young nobles, outlaw heroes, magicians, witches, destined kings, &c. — whereas dungeon-delving tends to imply scalawags looking for treasure.
It's also pretty easy to place the magical and monstrous in the out-of-the-way corners of the world, far from mortal eyes and mortal ken: the deep dark forests, forbidding mountains, impassable swamps. Whereas treasure-filled dungeons, being principally tombs and ruins, imply preexisting civilized stuff all over the place — in other words, it's effectively a post-apocalyptic setting (which many fantasy settings do). In reality, societal collapse never really happened on such a scale, even during the transition from the Roman Empire to Late Antiquity.
Do there need to be other "adventurers?"
Is there a reason you need there to be a whole social class of adventurers, though? I mean, were superhero stories worse when Superman was a special snowflake instead of a card-carrying member of a superhero club?
It's a lot easier to fit a fantasy-game premise into a "realistic" world if you accept that the PCs are rare and extraordinary people. A single forlorn castle haunted with ghosts fits easily into almost any setting. A whole passel of them, and a special social class dedicated to plundering them — well, that requires jumping through all sorts of hoops and it's still likely to come off as nonsense when you're done.
"Okay, actually I just want have all the D&D tropes make sense"
The best way to do this is to forget medieval Europe and build the setting from the ground up to create the situations you want, incorporating individual elements you want without trying to replicate the actual social structure and relationships of a real historical place.
Take a look at Doomed Slayers, which sets up adventurers as specially-chosen champions of civilization outside the normal bounds of society, or Magic's Zendikar setting, which depicts a landscape constantly in flux, creating new dangers and opportunities for explorers every day.

\$\begingroup\$ I've recently become aware of one example of societal collapse that left ruins everywhere: Britain, at the time of contact with Rome, had experienced a huge population crash over the previous century(-ish? I need to do more reading on this), leaving the previously well-populated island sparsely-settled and littered with the remnants of civilsation. This partly contributed to the Roman's perception of Britain as "barbaric." \$\endgroup\$ – SevenSidedDie Apr 17 '14 at 21:09
The Closest 'Real World' Equivalent to DnD Adventurers is the Noble Class
One of the best, and only, ways to enter the Noble class from the peasantry was to be so ridiculously puissant at combat that you were given a command - and from that tiny band of men, achieved so much so prominently and notably that you were given a higher rank, and so forth. Saving the Duke personally on the field of battle, etc, was a quicker version of this.
In DnD, where individuals have the firepower of an entire battalion of cavalry, Adventuring is the fast-tracked version of that. The ambitious, the talented, the driven - those are who adventure. 'Adventure' is really a misnomer - those are who grasp the rungs of power with both hands and delve deep beneath the earth into a god-king's tomb full of the corpses of those who have tried on the 1% chance that they'll learn a new spell or find a +1 sword.
That said, in any realistic setting (medieval or otherwise), everything is geared towards competitive advantage - in the case of settings of mostly humans, this means Nations. Although the idea of a Nation is less deep-set in a medieval era than one of our modern educated nuclear-equipped ones, ultimately there has to be some sort of structure to keep out the Mongols - and so any magical power (+1 swords) or powerful individuals (adventurers) would need in some way to be tied to the State.
And so we come back to Nobles. Where in the medieval era they were trained to be officers and heavy cavalry (good officers and heavy cavalry ruled the battlefield in those eras) and paid in land, in DnD they can literally cut a dragon in half with a sword, so they're probably paid in 'whatever they want' and are vastly more important than even the nobility were to medieval nations.
Wandering Bands of Armed Men existed in medieval europe - they were called Bandits
Or mercenaries, and there's a pretty thin line between the two. Some people leave home to become soldiers and desert, or the crops fail, or whatever, and they end up bandits. There were a lot of them all the time, they were desperate, and tended to get murdered whenever anyone's armsmen or bailiffs caught up with them.
Likely though, men broken by circumstance wouldn't be the ones fighting terrifying monsters. But Adventurers could be viewed in a similar light - even, both, with low level or unknown adventurers being seen as little better than vagabonds or mercenaries, and high level ones being treated like rockstars and courted by noblemen's daughters.
Ultimately, people are greedy and scared
People will do whatever benefits them, or what they think will benefit them. This is rarely very logical. People bow to power, of any kind, if they can identify it. People try to better their station, even if it is already exalted. People will demand protection and safety, or beg for it, whichever they think will work.
There's a lot of roles for 'adventurers', from Monster Hunters to Landed Nobility to Mercenary Scum. It could, and should, differ from culture to culture (think about it - Romantic France Adventurers vs Byzantium Adventurers - how would they be treated?), but regardless of the differences, there should always be this - they should always be Important. People respect and fear power, and someone who can cut through a steel door with a teaspoon? He's powerful, and he's scary.
How a nation treats it's powerful individuals should be a clear and defining feature of that nation, even if it pretends to scorn them rather than giving them lands and handsome men.
Sources: Setting building, Frank and K's Races of War, common sense
In some eras of Medieval Europe, there was a military unit known as a lance. It is like a squad, but also mirrors adventuring parties really well. This is especially true if you consider some of the attributes of lances:
Everyone had a role or specialization within the lance (the knight, page, crossbowmen, the dude with the bill-hook, etc.)
Basic lances had three men: knight, squire, non-combat squire. This number could increase to "a half dozen men." If you add in magic in the world, it would make sense to have one magic user. That would make lances be a (minimally) four-person group.
Not all lances were run by nobles; sergeants could run them as well. One could imagine that peasants with basic training and the correct equipment could attempt to form a lance as well.
Lances which were not bound to a noble were free lances, and it is where we get the modern english word "freelance" and "freelancer." It would make sense that, if there were no wars going on, you could engage in equally high-risk adventures and get treasures from mythical or abandoned places.
This is even more likely when you consider the aftermath of plagues; where towns, keeps, and other places were emptied quite quickly. (This situation can become more common by the various super-deadly things running around in the typical D&D world, like rogue magic users, raiding goblins/orcs, dragons, etc.)

For the simple reason: Because when you add dungeons full of loot, this becomes the 'gold rush'. The get-rich-quick that doesn't work for 95% of the people who try it.
For the complex reason:
Unless you're doing some house-ruled system with a lot of differences in how things work, fantasy worlds are not usually analogous to medieval Europe. Yes, it has castles, swords, and bows and arrows, it has kinds and barons and knights... but that's where the similarities end. You also have teleporters, instant healing, curing diseases that we in the modern era cannot. You have giant cities of learning, only possible with advanced farming techniques - which is probably helped along by urban druids. Those small-village shamans actually CAN cast magic, and that makes a huge difference.
Plus, you have magic items - and in D&D, and many other systems, these can last thousands of years without damage because it takes a magic item to damage a magic item. So you can have a farming family go into hock for generations to a wizard, in return for a single magic item that grants them a +5 to their Profession(Farmer) check. You can, I am sure, extrapolate from there. Anvils of Craft(blacksmithing) +5. Knives of Craft(woodworking) +5. Etc. Fantasy is really more akin to sci-fi with a mystic instead of technological scientific progression. You never developed pistols and laser-guns, because why? It's so much easier to get a magic autoloading crossbow. Why research better farming machines and breed better crops when you have a whole support structure of floratheurges that give you two harvests a year?
Think of the setting. A small farming village set up in a valley, with a centuries-old wizard in a tower up on the mountain. The farming village, for generations, has brought him food, done his chores, fixed his walls, darned his socks, gathered rare herbs and materials for him, etc, etc, etc ... and in return, he's bolstered their fields, made magic knives and plows for them, fought off the occasional goblin horde... a good deal all around. Some situations like this might be ruled by fear... other villages might see him as the village father and benefactor, a benevolent and much-loved figure. Heck, several of them might be descended from him.
If you're just taking medieval Europe and dropping magic and dungeons full of loot into it ... you're missing out on a lot of how that magic and loot affects their society. The gender roles will mean there will be virtually no female adventurers... because of necessity. Women are desperately needed to make babies, in that time era, because babies means children, children means workers, workers means more food, food is the basis of all life. Serfs scratch by on subsistence, and even 'large cities' of the day are fairly small. "Large armies" number in the hundreds. A single fireball-slinging wizard would completely disrupt the balance of any war. I remember looking up the numbers once, can't remember exactly, but it takes a RIDICULOUS number of farmers to support one non-farmer during that time era.
What this means is that if you keep a medieval attitude, magic has to be kept away from the general populace a lot. You probably won't have magic loot in those dungeons. You won't have adventuring wizards, and magic swords will be legendary.
In short: If you have lots of magic, and lots of adventurers, it's probably not medieval. If it's medieval, you probably have very little and rare magic, you probably have very few adventurers - but plenty of gold hunters.

\$\begingroup\$ The reasoning is good, but I do have one big criticism: you can't take it for granted that magic does alter the setting from pseudo-medieval Europe. Not everyone who plays fantasy RPGs is interested in the magic-punk subgenre; lots just want to play bog-standard fantasy. Not to mention, this is a logical outgrowth of only recent D&D editions—not all fantasy RPGs (which is what the question is about) have the kind of magic system that logically leads to magic-punk. \$\endgroup\$ – SevenSidedDie Apr 17 '14 at 16:54
Historical bands of wandering warriors usually emerged after significant social upheaval. A class of unemployed warriors can be an offshoot of demographics and a sudden unexpected era of peace (ronin), diminishing public finances, or expansionism spreading into a lawless frontier (cossacks, cowboys). Groups of wandering warriors can be fostered by a disparity between wealth at home and undefended riches to plunder abroad (vikings). Warrior Caste systems can emerge and persist for social reasons beyond strict needs (kshatriya).
You can probably debate if all these groups emerged for exactly these reasons, but they all give some plausible templates for why a group of armed wanderers would emerge in a fictional setting.

Does it follow that if you introduce magic and monsters guarding dungeons filled with treasure into a historical medieval setting, you'll see an adventuring class emerge?
Why not? If the prospect of pay for fighting other humans is incentive to mercenaries irl, then being paid as much as you could carry in gold, gems and magic items, doubly so in some magic world. Grab them loots!
Have there been any real world analogues to an "adventuring class" (obviously without the monsters and magic)?
Of course, several spring to mind: Genoese crossbowmen. Swiss pikemen. Viking 'Varangian Guard'. The Gurhkas. Légion étrangère. Present day Academi and other PMCs. And many many other groups throughout the world at one time or another.
Major medieval battles were often decided by which side could better pay for skilled mercenaries to sway the fighting.
Also, it is interesting that nobles and high ranked knights were often forced to yield in battle for the purpose of ransom. While their squires and soldiers were cut down around them. That was a major factor in heraldry, your banner advertised both your unit position to your allies, and to the enemy knights, very often your value alive.
In a magic world, if some knightly dude was prancing around a battlefield on a unicorn with his Magic Flaming Sword on a banner and shield, he'd very soon get a lot of attention. His men would of course be killed out of hand, with their mundane weapons left to rust in the dirt. Supply and demand would make a mundane sword no more valuable or better quality than a farming implement. +1 would be a minimum. This makes me think the economy in such a world would be pretty weird, much weirder than bands of people looking around the countryside for hidden dungeons.

\$\begingroup\$ Mercenaries have military discipline, take orders from their employer, and get paid regularly; adventurers do not. And the Gurkhas are regular soldiers not mercenaries, as the agreements that regulate their continued presence in the British Army explicitly spell out. \$\endgroup\$ – Tim Lymington Apr 19 '14 at 12:52
Consider the Vikings, who had neither a feudal system nor countries in any meaningful sense. Being attacked, whether by neighbours or by wild animals, was such a common threat that most men and some women learned to fight and acquired the equipment to do so. Those settlements that had enough of a fighting force to defend themselves successfully even at the worst of times had a surplus at the best of times, and it is wasteful (and possibly unwise) to keep armed men sitting around with nothing to do, so a few ships would be sent out viking.
The etymology and original meaning are uncertain, but in reality it included exploration, piracy, raiding foreign lands for treasure, and trading in high-value goods. Sound familiar at all? And, of course, the countries so attacked needed to develop their own defences, and to find something useful for the army to do in the off-season: some say the Vikings were responsible for the rise of the feudal system in Northern Europe. (Oman's history of the Middle Ages refers to that in his treatment of Charlemagne and his successors).

Groups have always formed around everything.
Take a modern business partnership as an analogy. Businesses are risky, require a lot of investment, and the partners are all there to split up the risk and investment. The USA is a good model of businesses - there are a lot of role models, a lot of investors, and a system has sprung up where they have more power than the government.
It is extremely risky for one person to go into a dungeon full of monsters. A suit of armor and a good sword may cost a fortune for an independent adventurer so a group of people may take what they have and do it. A person will eventually grow too old for adventuring and may happily live in his own castle. He may choose to become a trainer and pass down his resources to other willing adventurers. Veterans may charge money to train new ones. Some may take proteges for a small cut of the loot.
Adventuring would not be a profession that many parents want their children to go into. Much like the modern freelancer or entrepreneur, it's a path that many are either forced into or something that people with such passion were unable to avoid.
Someone out there might have joined a military or mercenary group for a career. Maybe he gets paid a paltry 3 silver/month as the MVP of his group, while his seniors keep the majority of the loot after wiping out a monster hive.
Adventurer's guilds may pop up in the same way that many modern groups do. They're there as a point of networking. Someone wants quests? They'll go to a reputable guild first. The guild makes its money from taking fees from the elite adventurer class, selling overpriced drinks, arranging overpriced events, and maintaining contacts. The best guilds are on a first-name basis with royalty... a life as an adventurer is a faster path to wealth and power than selling drugs or becoming a music star.
I've always thought it was unrealistic that in many games, there is only one big adventurer guild in the world. Many cities should have several of them, much like how hotels spring up everywhere in a modern city. The cliche should be adventurers spending their life's savings on joining a guild, desperate for any quest, instead of meeting in a tavern.
The actual job may pay little. If you look at the economics of the drugs industry, many of the lower class runners get paid very little. But it was better than the alternatives and there was a future in it. Hustlers may expect a short lifespan, but should they live, they'd be filthy rich.
It might be like a software company or law firm, where everyone is treated as indispensible, and expected to specialize and generalize at the same time. Bard and clerics, despite their specialties, are still expected to fight.
Possible business models formed around adventurers:
Fast money for a risky lifestyle
Promises of easy fame and links to royalty
Merchants selling overpriced goods to the rich adventuring class, who make hundreds of times the wage of a serf in one dungeon run
A subclass of commoners who are proud of being doormats to the adventuring class, but are too risk averse to do it
Fencing looted artifacts to artifact collectors
Brand naming for blacksmiths and armorers, possible sponsorship too
Quest agents who go around finding work for adventurers and negotiating rewards
Veteran adventurers teaching their techniques to younger ones
Veterans investing and hiring younger adventurers to loot dungeons that they didn't have the chance to, or are too scared to do
That sleazy guy who convinces a naive adventurer to clear their barn of rats and goblins, without payment, because it's good for their portfolio

How much can natural resource inventory benefit from finer resolution auxiliary data?

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2018.02.039
For remote sensing-assisted natural resource inventories, the effects of spatial resolution in the form of pixel size and the effects of subpixel information on estimates of population parameters were evaluated by comparing results obtained using Landsat 8 and RapidEye auxiliary imagery. The study area was in Burkina Faso, and the response variable of interest was firewood volume (m3/ha). A sample consisting of 160 field plots was selected from the population following a two-stage sampling design. Models were fit using weighted least squares; the population mean, ?, and the variance of the estimator of the population mean, , were estimated using two inferential frameworks, model-based and model-assisted, and compared. For each framework, was estimated both analytically and empirically. Empirical variances were estimated using bootstrapping that accounted for the two-stage sampling. The primary results were twofold. First, for the effects of spatial resolution and subpixel information, four conclusions are relevant: (1) finer spatial resolution imagery indeed contributed to greater precision for estimators of population parameter, but despite the finer spatial resolution of RapidEye, the increase was only marginal, on the order of 10% for model-based variance estimators and 36% for model-assisted variance estimators; (2) subpixel information on texture was marginally beneficial for inference of large area population parameters; (3) RapidEye did not offer enough of an improvement to justify its cost relative to the free Landsat 8 imagery; and (4) for a given plot size, candidate remote sensing auxiliary datasets are more cost-effective when their spatial resolutions are similar to the plot size than with much finer alternatives. Second, for the comparison between estimators, three conclusions are relevant: (1) sampling distribution for the model-based was more concentrated and smaller on the order of 42% to 59% than that for the model-assisted , suggesting superior consistency and efficiency of model-based inference to model-assisted inference; (2) bootstrapping is an effective alternative to analytical variance estimators; and (3) prediction accuracy expressed by RMSE is useful for screening candidate models to be used for population inferences.

I've been wondering about the timing too since I was under the impression that the Fundamental Rule change was under a shorter time fuse. I'll ask for clarification.
Note that once you vote on the Fundamental Rule then you get to a page with the remaining changes to the Class Rules (e.g. electronics/compass). The timeline for those is the end of September as the next World Council meeting is in October (I'm told).

And its the job of the ILCA Technical Officer to periodically inspect each factory to insure compliance with the LCM (in fact, there is an inspection of a factory scheduled for next week).
The most important required change is not included in the new wording.
All Lasers should be built following the same specifications and I don't care who builds them. A boat should be called a "Laser" only if it complies with clearly defined design and specifications. All boats should be measured before calling them Lasers. If they are in conformance with the class official measures, fine. Otherwise, correct them or change the name.
ILCA should be in charge of defining the specifications. Boats could be measured by any ISAF authority.
Growing up sailing Lightnings for about 20 years ( another ILCA), I don't see why having multiple boat builders and multiple sailmakers would be such a disaster. That is how that class has operated since time began and I'm pretty sure its still a strong class.
They have class measurers at major events.
IF someone at the club level had an underweight boat, it was either dealt with there or ignored. As no one was getting paid for their results at the local level, we got over it and did what we could to get more sailors on the water.

Yes and remember there are far fewer Lightnings out there than Lasers. You go to a major regatta with maybe 75-100 for NAs. Go to a major Laser regatta and there are 150+ boats. You think people want to come early for measurement especially with everything you want to check? Nope.
Many people believe that true one design status can only be preserved with the current status quo system. This philosophy is fear based rather than reality. The International Optimist Dinghy Association operates under very strict one design rules. Optis are every bit as strict a one design class as the laser class, yet there are literally hundreds of suppliers vying in competition to supply hulls, spars, blades, sails rigging etc. It's true competition not a monopoly.
Here is how it works, and it is really quite simple. IODA has class measurer's who approve the hull molds every builder uses. Every hull mold has a discreet numerical ID that is used to track boats later to verify conformity and grant a measurement certificate. ISAF issues a measurement plaque, the same as Laser currently does. The class has very strict hull construction specification that must be followed by every builder. Hulls are measured once for weight, and are then stickered. Hulls come from approved molds and have an ISAF plaque to certify it so nothing else needs to be measured. I am not aware of any problems in the 10 years I have been involved in the class.
The rest of the stuff? sails, blades and spars are all measured excatly one time only at a major class event and stickered. Once stickered you don't need to be measured EVER again unless you buy new blades, spars or a sail that were not previously stickered. Under our current system there is no way to verify if a competitors boat components are genuine or not because it is never measured or stickered. We "assume" the laser class blades, sails and spars are unadulterated and genuine.
It resulted in lower costs for boats and equipment. The Opti class is exploding in size so it works. Personally, I would rather pay a bit more for a professional class measurer which would allow multiple builders, than a class controlled by builders who dictate to the members.
Case in point. Our centerboards and rudders are pure garbage. They are made from what looks like bondo with a wire core. WTF is that? I don't know any other boats built that way. Heavy, weak and prone to chips and breakage. But we pay the same as if they had been made with epoxy. Our upper sections are crap and here in SF they are a constant source of failure, taking with it the sail as collaterol damage. And the sails, no question they are overpriced for what you get. But the builders work from a place of fear with laser class members and argue that if they can't have this bit of gravy on replacement parts they can't make it on new boats alone and they might go out of business. They need this subsidy. That's BS. Bad business model.
I am not under the mistaken belief that the builders who monoplize laser boat construction are getting rich. But I do believe that we can all have better quality equipment forthe same price. You don't have to look any further than the sucess of IOD 95 in the Opti class to prove it.

It's not April Fools Day already is it ? Opti race sails cost just about the same as Laser race sails..Spars and blades too...
All up race ready Opti is $4K
Thanks, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater
Dang didn't type fast enough
Id like to point out that Opti racing sails are only 100 or so less than Laser sails. A fully tripped out Opti is almost 4k. Opti sails have different cuts and all cost different amounts of money. I fail to see how opening up the market makes Optis cheaper. It's an arms race for the top opti kids to have the best equipment and the parents pay for it blindly.
Most Laser class parts like spars and blades have an official class sticker on them. Sails have buttons. They only come from the builder, which is why you don't see them on replica parts.
Sadly the Laser class doesn't keep ownership records, which IMO they probably should be doing.
Comparing the cost of laser equipment to opti equipment is an apples to oranges comparison. The quality of opti gear is higher than laser gear. You cannot compare them. If you want the future market cost of a laser sail look no further than what Intensity charges. Less than half. It's a lot cheaper than our class approved sail. Opti sails are way better cloth and can last seasons of heavy use. Now which one is cheaper? My son had a North radial sail for his opti that he used heavily for 3 years and he still won races with it. Try that with a laser class sail. Spars? I have never seen a broken opti spar, EVER. It's not a matter of if you break a laser top section but when (here in SF). And those laser blades...what were they thinking?
There is a hidden cost in laser class equipment, you have to replace it more frequently because it is inferior quality.
Intensity charges less than half for their opti sails compared to the big names also.
Opti spars don't bend like Laser spars so you really can't compare, plus you can't crank on the vang like a Laser.
You can give a great sailor a very used Laser sail and they can still win.
One way to help prevent top section breakage in San Francisco is to not sail in Richmond... if you sail on the City Front then you don't stick the mast in the mud when you capsize!
Sorry Doug, that was too hard to resist!
We can all argue well into next year about the quality of the boats. I certainly have my opinions, based on nearly two decades of hard sailing on the City Front while tipping the scales well over the heavy end of the competitive weight range.
But that is not the point of this thread. The rule change in question presents a modification to the Laser Class Rules that is possible to do with membership approval. Some of the other suggestions, e.g. opening to any builder and having measurement at regattas, are not possible within the context of Laser sailing as we know it. Given the legal situation with design rights, trademark rights, etc., what is proposed is at the limit of what can be done - at least this is what has been presented to me.
One could alter the design of the boat and invent a new name. But it would not be the Olympic boat, therefore it would not have worldwide appeal, it would not be recognized in the existing fleets and, ultimately, it would be doomed to fail like so many other singlehanders before it. Look at the "real" world, branding is VERY important!
SFBayLaser said:
I'll stir the pot on this issue
Technically no laser leaves the factory measuring as it doesn't have any sail numbers on. Arguably no laser has yet competed in the Olympics for the same reason. Ultimately it's up to each competitor to confirm that their boats measure fully. But yes, I think the current system of the technical officer inspecting the factories is an efficient system, particularly when combined with dilegent class measurers inspecting and measuring the boats at regattas.

Super Opinionated and Always Correct
We are bing asked to vote while uninformed by people who know we are uninformed.
Presumably, rather than an ILCA rule change (taking 6 months), LPE could sort out the issues between themselves and Global Sailing. We are talking business here so it is all about money. Are LPE just doing nothing (other than scare everybody) to avoid having to resolve the issues ?
Again, without the ILCA giving more complete information nobody can know.
At this point there does appear an additional risk in that the ILCA rule change summary does give the impression that the Association has a strong opinion. Plus, there are signs in their published info of "scaring people" (We may therefore end up with three different classes and may lose the Olympic status. The “one design / out of the box principle” would also be threatened.). So what are the chanced of "un-biased" information ?
Then if LPE are threatening the class, why are the class paying for all sorts of legal advice to help them out ? Does LPE threatening the class show a business whose interest is in developing the class or are their "true colours" emerging (money and profit).
Why should the class membership be paying to resolve a business dispute between two companies ? Are LPE going to stop making Lasers (risks of starting a new class, marketing costs, etc.). Business disputes happen all the time and end up being resolved. Buy an iPhone and 6 months later do Apple come back and ask you to pay for their legal battle with Nokia over use of some patented technology ?
Different people purchase Lasers for different reasons, but for many the strength of the 2nd hand market and that the boats retain their value very well is a major factor. So how many will buy a "not-a-Laser" when there is no fleet, no regattas, totally uncertain 2nd hand value, etc. The class has strengths and I suspect the players are ignoring those in what is a traditional game of bluff played in business disputes.
tim.platt
I'm no legal beaver, so I might be about to ask some very stupid questions.
Why was:
"has a building agreement from Bruce Kirby or Bruce Kirby Inc. to build the Laser"
ever in the ILCA rules, especially as the class was never party to these agreements.
Presumably the class has just realised that we no longer need thisin the rules because what ever rights he had have now expired? Assuming that was why this was in the rules in the first place.
I cannot see how removing this part of the rule should cause any problem - why do we (the ILCA) need to have anything to do with Bruce Kirby or Bruce Kirby Inc anyway (I dont mean that in a nasty way, but Bruce, having sold his business obviously isnt tied to the class in the way he might have been in the past)?
And/or, if it is that easy, why wasnt this done before - which will probably answer my previous question?
How does the class ensure that one or the other builder (or both) won't resort to a form of ballet stuffing.. ie, buy a bunch of memberships to vote with, and with so much on the line, how do we ensure that the count is done fairly and impartially ?
One for you, two for me, one for you, wait, that's a hanging chad.....
From an article on Sail-World.com
http://www.sail-world.com/index.cfm?Nid=81848&refre=y&ntid=0&rid=1
>>> Overnight Sail-World.com has spoken at length to representatives from Global Sailing and to Jeff Martin from the ILCA and now Bruce Kirby who is very much against the proposed change and will report on those conversations in the next 24 hours.
Certainly the interviews we have conducted so far show there is much more to this issue than first meets the eye and the growing body of calls to wait for more information before voting do seem justified.
And it seems to be getting worse. In the last few hours, we've been advised that numbers of the Laser sailors who followed the ILCA urging and voted early, have now been asking Class representatives, with the benefit of more knowledge asked how can they change their vote. <<<

Just sailing
Overnight Sail-World.com has spoken at length to representatives from Global Sailing and to Jeff Martin from the ILCA and now Bruce Kirby who is very much against the proposed change and will report on those conversations in the next 24 hours.
I wonder if Bruce Kirby ever considered turning over the legal rights to the Laser design to the ILCA rather than selling them to one of the builders. Certainly there is money invoved, but it would have preserved his legacy and the phenomenon of Laser racing that he created.
I'm not expert, but I totally agree. I asked the same question on another forum.
If I understand the circumstances correctly, and I might have got this wrong, but it does seem a bit rich if Mr Kirby isnt happy with what's going having sold his business/rights to a 3rd party.
If his control/position was material to the situation, and he had the class at heart, why didn't offer these to 'us'. Maybe he did and we just never got to hear about it.
It seems to me that the class will always be vunerable while any of the rights/trade marks are held by some other commerical organisation. Their agenda(s) will always be different to ours (as owners / users).
On the timing issue, the length of time for the balloting is determined by the ILCA constitution and is set to 6 months. Technically it also says "postal ballot" but in the modern era this includes electronic balloting (after all, we all have "mailboxes" on our computers!).
The prominent placement on the ILCA website is intended to attract attention. I think that box can be ticked off.
The actual page on the ILCA website does say "Vote Now!" in the title and in capital letters does say "PLEASE DO NOT DELAY YOUR VOTE". The reason for this is experience - ILCA typically sees a small fraction of people actually voting on rule changes, and that even only a fraction of people who "hit" the page. Apparently people often go to the voting pages, don't vote while there thinking about it, then forget to come back later to vote. This means small special interest blocks can have a large influence on the outcome of a vote.
Summary: there is nothing sinister about this, rather an attempt to get as much attention from class members as possible, and to get as many people to vote as possible. Modifying the Fundamental Rule is a MAJOR change, it needs to have as many Laser Class members as possible voting!
People who are not comfortable with voting now because they think they need more information should rightly delay their vote. However, its very important that they do, ultimately, vote, so PLEASE don't forget as the passion of the topic starts to die down!
Note that once the voting is over, all District Associations will be required to verify that those who have cast ballots are actually members. That means that in North America neither Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse will have their votes count unless they join the Laser Class. (And what I really mean is that is the primary protection against ballot stuffing - a real name whose membership can be verified has to be attached to each ballot).
Obviously, if someone wants to spend lots of money on memberships they can "buy" votes. Our protection against that is for as many of the 15,000+ plus existing members worldwide to vote as absolutely possible.
There is also another page which contains the "other" proposed rule changes for 2011, you get to it once you have voted on the Fundamental Rule. Personally, I don't quite follow this organization... In any case, those rule changes should be discussed in a separate thread, which I will start and call "2011 Rule Changes - NOT Fundamental Rule". Perhaps Merrily or Bradley can change the title of this thread to "2011 Rule Changes - Fundamental Rule"?

In the interest of promoting transparency by giving everyone all the available information, here is some information on some of the intellectual property related to the Laser.
The following copyrights are recorded at the US Copyright Office:
A copyright on a visual work of the Laser, titled "Laser / designed by Bruce Kirby" apparently owned by Bruce Kirby himself.
A copyright on the Laser Construction Manual apparently owned by Bruce Kirby Inc.
A copyright on a drawing of a Laser boat apparently assigned to Bruce Kirby and Bruce Kirby, Inc.
A copyright on some sort of design for the Laser apparently assigned to Bruce Kirby and Bruce Kirby, Inc.
Bruce Kirby also seems to have had US design patents on the design of the model radio controlled Laser (http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=x_4oAAAAEBAJ&dq=D373156) and a swinging centerboard boat (http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=jNY8AAAAEBAJ&dq=D304922).
The Laser trademark in the US (Reg. No.: 1038170) was originally registered by PERFORMANCE SAILCRAFT INC. CORPORATION CANADA 91 HYMUS BLVD. POINTE CLAIRE, QUEBEC CANADA but is apparently now owned by a holding company in Jersey KARAYA (JERSEY) LIMITED CORPORATION JERSEY 14 CONWAY STREET ST HELIER JERSEY.
There don't seem to have been any US design patents or Canadian industrial designs on the Laser itself. Also, it seems that the Laser is not registered under the relatively new Vessel Hull Design Protection Act: http://www.copyright.gov/vessels/list/index.html
So, there seem to be some registered copyrights in the US on the design of the Laser and, interestingly, Bruce Kirby Inc. seems to own the US copyright on the Laser Construction Manual. Of course, there could be other unregistered copyrights and trademarks, as well as unrecorded agreements that govern the intellectual property. There could also be IP rights registered in countries outside the US as well as common law rights to IP.
I am sure there is lots we do not know here, but I certainly would not hold Bruce Kirby at fault.
Bruce is a great guy and, unfortunately, he is not getting any younger. I would think that this was a business decision that was driven by the need to do some estate planning.
sailchris said:
I know patents expire, but I'm not sure about copyrights and trademarks. As long as they are actively protected, I think they can go on indefinitely.
Fernwood said:
Maybe when looking between the two builders and ILCA, Bruce Kirby decided the Australian builder was the best of the three to protect sailor's interests.
torrid said:
My guess is that the reason Bruce Kirby did not offer to the Laser Class is because he knew ILCA could not pay what he could get on the open market.
If the choice was based on who could best protect the sailor's interest then why didn't he pick the third Laser builder, Takao Otani, the owner of PS Japan? I know this will break Gouvernail's heart, but there is no person on this planet who cares more deeply for Laser sailing and Laser sailors than Takao.
In any case, I agree with the comment that Bruce Kirby has always acted in the best interest of Laser sailing, deserves to have a well earned retirement and is completely blameless in whatever disputes are going on.
Further reference material: The list of the members of the World Council, Advisory Council and contacts for each of the regions is listed on the ILCA website. There is contact information listed there for each.
Yes, patents expire. US design patents expire 14 years from their issue date, so both of the Kirby patents listed above are expired (although neither relates to the Laser itself).
Copyrights have a defined term. The exact term can be complicated to calculate, but it is probably at least 70 years after Kirby's death.
Trademarks do not expire and remain enforceable so long as they are maintained and don't become generic, e.g., The Bass Red Triangle in comparison to Aspirin, Escalator, Cellophane, etc.

On the surface following the class letter it may seem simple, but I wonder if it is REALLY a no brainer.
If we vote is YES what stops the legal Patent Holder from suing the builder making boats without an agreement? Seems to me a continuted leagal dispute following a vote would hold the whole issue up while we pay fees of lawyers through dues and ever increasing costs racing equipment? Bought a new sail lately?
3 FACTS I believe true: ILCA Class Rules, requires 3 core criteria builders must meet to make class-legal vessels:
1. manufacture the hull, equipment, fittings, spars, sails and battens in strict adherence to the Construction Manual (owned by the class)
2. have the Laser trademark rights, (evidently these have been sold to builders over time by someone, Kirby?)
3. Have a building agreement from Bruce Kirby or Bruce Kirby Inc. (Bruce sold to Global Sailing so as a result they are Bruce Kirby)
Questions, can anyone shed light.
1. If GS owns the Kirby Patent (expired or not) can they issue building agreements?
2. If so why not to LPE? Assume i can figue, but maybe someone knows
3. More importantly why does LPE, a company making boats now NOT have an agreement? No agreement means the MANY who have bought and sail LPE boats are they not legal.
4. The Class owns the construction manual, why has the class sided with LPE, or at least against GS, especially since LPE are building without one of the 3 important criteria above?
5. Is it not fair for the owner of the patent rights to issue agreements?
6. as Diamon says in a post, If he is correct and LPE came from LP who merged w Vanguard, and if Vanguard held a buiders agreement why does it not carry over?
Lastly this is likely all about GS gaining greater market access: "Proper Course" reported an ad in SA by Global Sailing "looking for enthusiastic and well established marine dealers to become national or multi national distributors in the European region for the Bruce Kirby designed Olympic Sailing Dinghy."
Love to get a deeper understanding before people are called to a vote following a ‘fear’ letter.

After a night of thinking about this and re-reading what I understand I think some or all of the following may be true.
If I knew for certain I would write the following>>>
The Designer rights now belong to something called Global.
The logo and name rights belong to all sorts of folks on a regional basis.
The current ILCA rules state, "lasers aren't Lasers unless they are built by folks who pay ALL the fees to ALL the owners of ALL the various intellectual property."
One of the major builders of lasers would like to blow off the required intellectual property payments to the design rights holder.
In other words, the major builder, who owns the rights to use the name Laser but not the rights to build the design wishes to build knock off boats and call them Lasers.
That builder is threatening to quit building things called Lasers if the class refuses to allow use of boats for competition when the design fees for those boats have not been paid.
What do I think??
The major builder wants to have it both ways. The builder wants to control the use of the Laser logo and name with respect to the boat but they do not wish to pay for the rights to produce the actual product.
They seem to like intellectual property rights whjen those rights are theirs, but they want to ignore the intellectual laws when proper business behavior costs money.
My interpretation of the question upon which we are being asked to vote tells me we are being asked to work in collusion with intellectual property thieves..
If I am correct in my assesment of the situation, I think the correct response it "Stuff it!!!"
If the name and logo copyrights holder persists in its refusal to properly pay for design rights, we should work together with the design rights holder and the legal system to shut them down.
If we find it necessary to change the name of the toy, so be it.
Remember, I really do not have sufficient information to form an opinion. The above is what I would write if what I currently understand to be the case actually is the case.
In the meantime...Come sail in the big regatta!!!

Capt Tony said:
Great questions Tony. But I think there are some inaccuracies in your post. They don't fundamentally change the issues but I would like to try and clear them up, and ask a few questions of my own...
1. Patents. I don't think patents are involved. If there ever were any patents on the Laser they have expired by now as both sailchris and the original statement from the International Class have said.
2. But it seems that Bruce Kirby Inc. owns some design rights to the boat. Sailchris listed several copyrights assigned to or owned by Bruce Kirby Inc. Do these copyrights give Bruce Kirby Inc. the rights to royalties from every Laser sold? Do they give Bruce Kirby Inc. the right to decide who can build boats to those designs? Are these the rights that are at the heart of this dispute? And do these rights just become irrelevant because ILCA changes a class rule, or will the owner of these rights seek to enforce them using every means at their disposal?
3. Laser Construction Manual. Tracy says the class owns the construction manual (post #38 in this thread.) Sailchris says that the records at the US copyright office show that copyright in the Laser Construction Manual is owned by Bruce Kirby Inc. Are these two statements in conflict? And, in any case, what does it really mean to "own" the construction manual or the copyright to it? Does that give you the right to decide who can build boats using the designs and processes in the construction manual?
4. Minor point. The ad from Global Sailing looking for distributors in Europe was on the Scuttlebutt Europe newsletter. (It might have been on SA as well for all I know but that's not what I reported on my blog.)
As a wise man once said, "Remember, I really do not have sufficient information to form an opinion. The above is what I would write if what I currently understand to be the case actually is the case."
snip...
acutually...Tracy is way ahead of me too. he spends way more time and personal wealth working for the game than I either wish to or could.
but while this s&#+fight continues...
How about if lots and lots of you load up your boats and head on down to Austin for the Easter regatta??!!!
Quite frankly, it seems quite simple from an IP point of view.
Prior to this mess, it was universally recognized that Bruce Kirby or Bruce Kirby Inc. owned the rights to the Laser design. This was recognized by all builders and the international class, and the required licensing fees and royalties were paid.
So now that the IP rights have been sold, suddenly they hold no meaning? I don't think so.
gouvernail said:
You may be right but there may be other considerations - but again we would need more information about the dispute.
Does a "design rights holder" agreement last forever (i.e. once you get it you never need to renew it) or is it a short term thing requiring regular payments. If the latter, it might be that Global is asking totally ludicrous amounts of money to re-issue the agreement (e.g. more that the cost of a boat per boat) - with the intent to stop LPE building so they can enter the region. It may be that it is just a business squabble and the intervention of ILCA has just made it unnecessary for LPE and Global to sort things out. Might be that LPE no longer wants to pay for the IP and keep more profit for itself. Without details how can we know and how can we thus make a sensible decision.
Thank you Grouvernail and Tillerman, you have shed light! My first reaction after reading the letter to the class yesterday was why side with a builder who does not have, or is not willing to pay in the future, for rights. What makes the class request a YES vote? Why side with the builder who does not have all the building criteria over GS who does? Seems the Desgn rights holder has a point and untill or unless we get more clear information, i'd lean NO.
With the limited information published I would agree. And thus, were this rule change to go through, does anybody thing that Global will just shrug their shoulders and walk quietly away (now making no money from something they paid Bruce Kirby for) ? I suspect that if the rule change were to go through it would be the start of a big legal fight - except now the ILCA would be tangled-up in it all and thus need expensive lawyers and even then become liable for any awarded compensation/costs to Global (I don't know but may be the case, I'm not a lawyer).
Also under the ILCA, who is liable for the Associations debts ? - the membership ? So were a court to find against ILCA and award damages and costs, who would pay (i.e. would the membership be legally liable or would the Association just go bust; in which case what happens to the Construction Manual).
Seems to me that it would be wise for the ILCA to cancel the vote, publish more complete information and background papers, then re-initiate the vote in order to allow people who voted taking the info at face value to re-consider in the light of more complete information.
I'm neither in favour or against (yet) - not enough information published to form an opinion. In fact, given that the Association appears to have a preference already, I would suggest they agree to publish (or provide a link) to something where Global and LPE can state their side of the story.
Der_Dude
Pretty much everything here is speculation. IP rights can be traded and traded under conditions so knowing who holds them or held them originally tells us nothing. As pointed out, they need not be registered. They could be rights to the design of the little eye where you tie the painter to (if you use one) for all we know.
Maybe this should be the time to stand up as a class and vote for conserving our sport and fending off our own exploitation by ILCA sanctioned builders? If we found out just what these design rights are, maybe there could be such a thing as a royalty free OD boat? Or we could make an offer as a class and buy the right ourselves. How powerful is the ILCA?
I believe the folkboat class bought the design rights to their boat long ago and they seem be very happy with it.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s health care crisis
Saving Newfoundland now is the best medicine
All over Canada, healthcare is underfunded. But the problems in Newfoundland and Labrador are particularly dire. That’s because its population is ageing faster than in the rest of Canada. By 2042, the average age in Newfoundland will be 65. And that means far higher health care costs for the province.
According to the Newfoundland government, health care costs rise dramatically after age 65. Costs increase 34.6% over the prior 5 year average per patient per year of people between age 65-70; 40% between 75 and 80; 62% over the age of 85. Unless Newfoundland’s current debt load is addressed, when half of its population are senior citizens, it will be financially impossible to provide health care. People could literally die because of debt.
Canada can’t allow this to happen. Our federal leaders have the power to make a change. This election, tell them that Canada needs to assume Newfoundland’s debt and help the province avoid bankruptcy. Saving Newfoundland Now is the best medicine.

When Bourbon warehouses collapse
As well as destroying large amounts of maturing spirit, fires and collapses at Bourbon warehouses can have devastating consequences for the environment. Two weeks after fire swept through a Jim Beam rick house in Kentucky, Richard Woodard considers the broader issues.
Dramatic scene: But the environmental impact of the OZ Tyler collapse was minimal
In terms that blend religion and insurance-speak, it was an ‘act of God’: on the evening of Tuesday, 2 July this year, lightning forked down and struck a Jim Beam Bourbon warehouse on McCracken Pike, south of Frankfort, Kentucky, containing some 45,000 casks of maturing whiskey.
If the fire that ensued wasn’t devastating enough – crews from four counties fought the blaze, which lasted well into Wednesday – the knock-on effects on the local environment were nothing short of catastrophic.
Soon a 23-mile plume of leaked whiskey had fed into nearby Glenn’s Creek, and then on into the Kentucky River. In the week that it took to drift downstream to the Ohio River and dissipate, the whiskey was fed on by bacteria, which rapidly multiplied and caused a severe depletion in dissolved oxygen levels in the water.
The result was death by asphyxiation for many thousands of fish, which were left floating on the river surface. Officials spent days using aerators to try to rebuild oxygen levels in the water, and counting the bodies. It will be several weeks yet before they can fully analyse the data and finalise the death toll.
By way of comparison, when a warehouse owned by Wild Turkey collapsed and caught fire in May 2000, a 28-mile plume of leaked whiskey flowed into the Kentucky River. An estimated 227,000 fish died in what was then described as the worst such incident in the history of Kentucky.
Wild Turkey was given a large fine, and officials have already indicated that Jim Beam owner Beam Suntory can expect similar treatment on this occasion, with both the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC) and the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources likely to issue separate penalties.
Sorry sight: ‘Many thousands’ of fish died in the aftermath of the Jim Beam fire
The Jim Beam fire is the latest in a recent run of similar incidents, including the partial collapse of another warehouse, Rick House H, at the OZ Tyler Distillery in Owensboro, on 18 June this year; and the partial collapse of Barrel Warehouse #30, at Sazerac-owned Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, in June 2018.
Although infrequent, these incidents are nothing new: apart from the Wild Turkey collapse, Heaven Hill’s production plant was devastated by a huge fire in November 1996, which destroyed 90,000 barrels of Bourbon; Jim Beam suffered another warehouse fire in August 2003; and a Buffalo Trace warehouse was severely damaged by storms in April 2006.
In the context of the several million barrels of Bourbon maturing in Kentucky at any given moment, the losses in whiskey terms are usually insignificant – a Beam Suntory spokesperson said the latest blaze involved ‘relatively young’ whiskey and would not impact product availability. Producers also mingle different product types and ages to spread the risk of any damage.
But the environmental effects can be disastrous, and the clean-up operation, recovery of barrels and making safe of affected warehousing is both costly and time-consuming.
In the case of the Barton 1792 collapse, the rest of the warehouse came down two weeks later, leaving Sazerac with the laborious task of recovering barrels from the wreckage. Some 500 fish were reported killed after the initial collapse.
A similar barrel recovery operation is now ongoing at OZ Tyler, where company owner Terressentia decided to bring down the rest of Warehouse H for safety reasons (only the northwest quadrant was affected by the initial collapse).
Initial damage: Only the northwest quadrant of the OZ Tyler warehouse was impacted at first
Here, whiskey losses were minimal, leaving no environmental impact, but OZ Tyler master distiller and director of operations Jacob Call expects barrel recovery to take another two months.
The process is painstaking, with an Ultra High Reach demolition excavator plucking one barrel at a time from the debris, to be inspected, repaired or disposed of as necessary, and rehomed in another rick house.
Both the OZ Tyler and Barton 1792 collapses appear to have been weather-related: Call reports ‘severe storms with high winds and a great deal of rain’ on the night of 16/17 June, while the Barton collapse occurred on the side of a hill after an unusually wet spring, which left the soil saturated with water.
Can anything be done to prevent such incidents in the future? Since the OZ Tyler collapse, Terressentia has entered into an agreement with StructuRight, a company that uses an app-based system to monitor the structural and environmental health of buildings.
‘We will be able to continually measure distance, angle, vibration, temperature and humidity in the rick houses,’ explains Call. ‘All data, including any change notifications, will be transmitted to a cell phone via the app, and it will include back-up capabilities as well.’
On the environmental side, remedial action is often reactive, rather than proactive, involving the use of earthmoving equipment to create a barrier to stop leaking whiskey from seeping into watercourses.
Could more be done to prevent future environmental damage? ‘Cabinet leadership will be meeting with industry representatives, and those questions will be part of the discussion,’ says a Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet spokesperson.
Coming down: Following the OZ Tyler collapse, the whole warehouse was demolished
With demand for Bourbon high, warehouse space is at a premium, and some buildings are several decades old (the collapsed Barton 1792 warehouse was built in the 1940s, with a wooden structure covered in a thin steel skin). Are there concerns over their structural soundness?
‘We can’t really speak to if there is an issue with the expansion of Bourbon and a demand for warehouse space,’ says Call. ‘However, many big distilleries are still building rick houses today like they were 50 years ago and, even though you have better wind control and basing now, there is not a whole lot of difference in the overall structure.
‘The design hasn’t changed much over the years, so it’s really critical that these buildings are continually monitored to keep abreast of any structural issues to help alleviate these disasters.’
Terressentia has only owned the OZ Tyler distillery (which it renamed) since 2015, at which point it hired experts to inspect every building on the 26-acre site, carrying out repairs to every rick house and inspecting them all regularly for any structural issues.
Similarly, Beam Suntory flags up its ‘comprehensive warehouse safety programme’, including regular inspections and ‘rigorous protocols to promote safety and the security of our aging inventory’. The warehouse that caught fire during that storm on 2 July was fitted, ironically and, as it turns out, ineffectively, with lightning protection.
Still, accidents happen. Storms bring lightning, high winds and heavy rain, and sometimes disaster will follow. The question that remains is what more can be done to minimise the damage that such incidents cause in the future, particularly to the surrounding environment?

Using AMP? A known bug is probably screwing up your Google Analytics
Issue can cause visitors to be overcounted, single sessions to be divided into separate ones, and more.
Danny Sullivan on March 2, 2017 at 2:17 pm
If you are using the Google-backed Accelerated Mobile Pages, there appears to be an excellent chance that those AMP pages are not being tracked correctly, if you use Google Analytics.
Christian Oliveira, a technical SEO consultant, posted a long, technical explanation of the issues AMP is giving with proper tracking in Google Analytics. Malte Ubi, Google’s technical lead for the AMP project, confirmed the problems and that they have no easy solution, in tweets today.
In summary, Oliveira found that:
A unique visitor potentially can be reported as up to four different people, when accessing AMP pages.
When a visitor navigates from an AMP page to a regular page in a site, that causes a new session to be generated, even though technically, it was the same session.
Bounce rate will appear higher than normal when AMP pages are involved, because since new sessions are generated as described above, it appears as if visitors are leaving quickly when they are not.
Pageviews per session will appear lower, when an AMP person moves from an AMP page to a regular page in a single session.
Visitors who come to AMP page from search and then goes to another page will appear as if they are new visitors coming from referral traffic, rather than search.
Oliveira documents a solution to this, but it’s not for everyone nor perfect. Hopefully, Google will accelerated efforts on its end to come up with a solution, but that doesn’t look to be coming quickly, based on Ubi’s tweets.

Innate and Adaptive Immune Modulation by MSC Small Extracellular Vesicles
Sai Kiang Lim, Research Director, Institute of Medical Biology, A*STAR, Singapore
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) is the most clinically tested cell type for regenerative medicine. It has significant immunomodulatory potency as evidenced by recent market approval for use in GVHD and Crohn’s disease. It exerts at least part of this potency through secreted small extracellular vesicles of 50 to 200 nm diameter. We have previously shown that MSC-sEVs have both innate and adaptive immunomodulatory activities. They activated TLR4 in monocytes to elicit an anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion profile that was different from the pro-inflammatory profile elicited by LPS-mediated TLR4 activation. The TLR4 activation by MSC-sEVs was neutralized by a blocking antibody against EDA-containing fibronectin, a TLR4 ligand that is present in MSC-sEV preparations. MSC-sEVs also induced mouse CD4+CD25+ T cells or CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs from CD4+ T cells activated by allogeneic APC-enriched CD11C+ cells but not those activated by anti-CD3/CD28 mAbs. This induction was MSC-sEV and APC dose–dependent.
The NIH Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium: Advancing Knowledge and Technologies for Extracellular RNA Research
Christine Happel, Scientific Program Manager, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), United States of America
The discovery that secreted RNA (exRNA) is transported between cells through extracellular vesicles (EVs) suggested that exRNAs plays an important role in intercellular communication. Moreover, exRNAs also have utility as biomarkers of disease and as therapeutic agents. However, many gaps in knowledge and technical challenges in EVs and exRNA biology, such as mechanisms of EV biogenesis and uptake, exRNA cargo selection, and exRNA function. Moreover, efficient and reproducible methods for isolation and analysis of EVs and exRNAs were not available. The NIH Common Fund-supported exRNA Communication Consortium (ERCC) was launched in 2013 to address the major scientific challenges in this field. Participating laboratories from the 30 funded ERCC projects have worked individually and collaboratively to work toward these goals. This presentation will highlight the ERCC tools and resources developed, and scientific highlights particularly in biomarker discovery and therapeutic development of EV-based exRNA.
Exosome-based Delivery of Therapeutic Proteins: Principles and Applications
Chulhee Choi, Professor and Chair, BioMedical Imaging Center, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), President, ILIAS Biologics Incorporated, Korea South
Our group has recently developed an opto-genetically engineered exosome system, named ‘exosomes for protein loading via optically reversible protein–protein interaction” (EXPLOR) that can deliver soluble proteins into the cytosol of target cells via controlled, reversible protein–protein interactions (PPI). By integrating a reversible PPI module controlled by specific wavelength of light with the endogenous process of exosome biogenesis, cargo proteins of our interest can be loaded into the exosomes. Engineered exosomes were shown to significantly increase intracellular levels of cargo proteins and their function in the recipient cells in both a time- and dose-dependent manner. In this presentation, I will introduce the basic principles of EXPLOR technology and follow-up studies for therapeutic applications focusing on novel anti-inflammatory exosomes in various disease models.

An Exosome-based Drug Delivery Platform Derived From an Immortalized Human Neural Stem Cell (hNSC) Line
Randolph Corteling, Head of Research, ReNeuron Ltd., United Kingdom
To ensure the scale required for clinical research and commercialisation producer cell immortalisation and clonal isolation is a practical strategy to produce consistent, functionally bioactive exosomes for use as therapeutic agents. Immortalisation ensures production stability and reduces the need for equivalence testing.
CTX0E03 is a conditionally immortalised human neural stem cell line that has been manufactured to clinical-grade (GMP) standards, using a 3-tier banking strategy and is currently in Phase IIb clinical evaluation for disability after stroke. Using the conditioned media produced during GMP manufacture, we have shown that CTX0E03 is an abundant producer of exosomes that can be readily isolated and purified at scale. The CTX cell line can also be rapidly and efficiently modified to direct the expression of a variety of cargoes within the secreted EV population, whilst maintaining the key immortalised stem cell characteristics of the parental cell line. The natural tissue tropism of CTX-derived exosomes can then be exploited to deliver loaded cargoes to target cells.
Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Extracellular Vesicles: A Potential New Tool in Regenerative Medicine
Bernd Giebel, Group Leader, University Hospital Duisburg-Essen, Germany
Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represent a promising tool in regenerative medicine. Up to now, more than 1000 NIH-registered clinical trials investigated their immunomodulatory and pro-regenerative therapeutic potential in various diseases, including graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and ischemic stroke. Despite controversial reports regarding the efficacy of MSC-treatments, MSCs seem to exert their beneficial effects rather in a paracrine manner than by cell replacement. In this context, extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, are discussed to execute the MSCs’ therapeutic effects. Indeed, we observed beneficial therapeutic impacts of MSC-EVs in a patient, who suffered from steroid-refractory acute GvHD. Furthermore, beneficial effects were observed in animal models for several different diseases.
According to controversial reports in the MSC field, especially since a phase III clinical trial failed to show clinical efficacy in MSC treated GvHD patients, we have started to compare immunomodulatory effects of independent MSC-EV preparations. Indeed, in our in vitro assays independent MSC-EV fractions reveal different immunomodulatory capabilities. To unravel the basis for these differences we are currently using several methods to dissect the heterogeneity between and within given MSC-EV samples.
Extracellular Vesicles and Coronary Artery Diseases
Chantal Boulanger, Research Director, Paris Cardiovascular Research Center, France
My group's current research interests focus on the role of extracellular vesicles in cardiovascular diseases. We investigate their role as mediators of cell-cell communication in the vessel wall as well as their potential as biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases. This brings us to investigate the regulation of extracellular vesicle composition, including non coding-RNA packaging, their biodistribution and how the resulting paracrine effects might affect the development of cardiovascular diseases.
First-In-Human Application of Umbilical Cord MSC-Derived EVs for the Prevention of Cochlear Implant Surgery-Related Injury
Mario Gimona, Head of Manufacturing-GMP, CSO of Celericon Therapeutics, Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg, Austria
Cochlear implantation (CI) can restore hearing perception by bypassing the auditory hair cells (HC) and directly stimulating the spiral ganglion neurons (SGN). Insertion of an electrode array into the cochlea is associated with robust early and chronic inflammatory responses that promote intra-cochlear fibrosis and loss of HC and SGN. Conservation of residual hearing and prevention of fibrous tissue deposition around the electrode are thus major challenges in CI surgery. We have manufactured GMP-compliant umbilical cord (UC)-MSC- derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and subjected such preparations to a series of in vivo and in vitro assays. Animal studies included both systemic and local injection for the improvement of seemingly unrelated indications such as critical size bone defects, partial tendon rupture and spinal cord injury in a rat contusion-model. In all cases EV application resulted in a significant modulation of immune reaction, overall reduced inflammation and scar reduction as evidenced by a reduction in ECM deposition. In an in vitro spiral ganglion neuron protection assay UC-MSC-EVs outperformed the current best-in-class soluble neuroprotective factor, BDNF. In vivo application of EVs in mice challenged by noise trauma resulted in significant protection of hearing when compared to untreated controls. Reduction of impedance as a measure for current resistance and fibrotic tissue formation around the electrode array were observed in a model of implantation trauma in guinea pigs implanted with an electrode array. After careful consideration of the medical history of a patient requiring CI surgery an experimental healing attempt was performed and the patient received a single intra-cochlear injection of 5 x 109 EVs (total) prior to electrode insertion. The application was tolerated well, no adverse reactions were recorded and robust auditory sensation was detected 6 weeks post surgery. Based on these initial safety data on the local application of EVs in the inner ear, a phase 1/2a clinical trial is currently in preparation to further evaluate the neuroprotective, immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic potential of UC-MSC-EVs.

The Bumpy Road To 10nm FinFETs
Foundries split over 1D and 2D layout schemes, creating tough choices for chipmakers involving performance, area and other options.
May 21st, 2015 - By: Mark LaPedus
Foundry vendors are currently ramping up their 16nm/14nm finFET processes in the market. Vendors are battling each other for business in the arena, although the migration from planar to finFETs is expected to be a slow and expensive process.
Still, despite the challenges at 16nm/14nm, vendors are gearing up for the next battle in the foundry business—the 10nm node. At 10nm, foundry vendors are developing a new generation of finFETs.
But based on the early indications, the industry faces some major challenges, if not a bumpy ride, at 10nm. Intel, for one, is pushing out its 10nm finFET production ramp by several months, according to equipment industry sources. On the other hand, Samsung and TSMC are accelerating their respective 10nm finFET efforts. And GlobalFoundries is expected to be in the mix.
For foundry customers, though, the migration toward 10nm finFETs will be a herculean and expensive effort. In fact, it costs four times more to design a 10nm finFET device, as compared to a 28nm planar chip. “These (10nm) designs are going to be expensive,” said Chris Mack, gentlemen scientist and lithography expert. “Only the highest volume producers can afford the next node. There are hundreds of fabless companies that will never do a 10nm design.”
And for other reasons, 10nm could represent a pivotal juncture in the broader foundry business. In fact, the industry could see a bifurcation between vendors in a key area.
TSMC, for one, is moving from a 2D/bi-directional layout scheme at 16nm and above to 1D/unidirectional technology at 10nm. In doing so, the foundry is moving from a relatively flexible design environment at 16nm and above to more restrictive design rules at 10nm.
In contrast, based on early indications, other foundries may continue to follow the more traditional 2D/bi-directional layout path at 10nm, which enables a more flexible design environment for IC designers.
In other words, foundry customers face some difficult choices at 10nm. “These are very complex tradeoffs in terms of circuit performance, circuit areas and options available to the designers,” Mack said.
Still, there is room in the market for both technologies. “Each one has its pros and cons. But you need to make sure whatever solution you provide, the customer has to buy into that,” said Kelvin Low, senior director of foundry marketing for Samsung.
Meanwhile, at a recent event, Samsung rolled out its 10nm finFET technology. The company also showed a 300mm wafer with 10nm finFET transistors. “We have silicon-based PDKs out,” Low said. Samsung plans to move into production with its 10nm finFET technology by the end of 2016, he said.
10nm challenges
Needless to say, there are several unknowns and variables at 10nm. For now, though, the foundries are looking to ramp up 10nm finFETs in volumes around 2017.
The timing, and success, of 10nm finFETs depends upon several factors. To gain any traction, 10nm must keep the industry on the traditional cost-per-transistor curve. “14nm will be a very long node,” said Thomas Caulfield, senior vice president and general manager of Fab 8 at GlobalFoundries. “Then, it comes down to the economics. Will the power, performance and cost at 10nm be a better play than 14nm?”
Indeed, the overriding factor is cost. In fact, the average IC design cost for a 28nm planar device is about $30 million, according to Gartner. In comparison, the IC design cost for a 14nm SoC is around $80 million. “For mid-range 10nm SoC, it takes $120 million for the design cost, plus 60% for the embedded software,” said Samuel Wang, an analyst with Gartner.
On top of that, it could take 300 engineer-years to bring out a 10nm device, Wang said. Therefore, a team of 50 engineers will need six years to complete the chip design to tape-out. In comparison, it takes 100 engineer-years to bring out a 28nm design. And for a 14nm device, it takes 200 man-years, he added.
Besides cost, there are other concerns at 10nm. “One should be concerned about power density,” said Terry Hook, senior technical staff member at IBM. “I am more concerned about power density, getting that current out and really using it.”
On the manufacturing front, meanwhile, there are also several challenges. In theory, a 10nm finFET would consist of the traditional features, such as copper interconnects and high-k/metal-gate. Chipmakers may introduce a more complex germanium mix in the PFET to boost the mobility in the channels.
For patterning, chipmakers will extend 193nm immersion to 10nm. Vendors will also move to triple or quadruple patterning at 10nm, which will be significantly more difficult to master than double patterning at 16nm/14nm.
At 10nm, the current EDA tools can’t account for all of the different colors and possible unknowns. “At 10nm and below, the challenges will be in the tools, the process and the complexity,” said David Abercrombie, advanced physical verification methodology program manager at Mentor Graphics. “We’re seeing more differences between foundries as we move forward, too. At 20nm and 16nm/14nm, it was the same basic layers and simple double patterning. At 10nm, there is more diversity in how they approach multi-patterning. There is still double patterning there, but depending on the layer and the foundry, it might be a completely different experience.”
Unidirectional vs. bi-directional
On this front, each foundry vendor has a different strategy. Intel, for example, used a bi-directional, or 2D, layout scheme at 65nm and above. At those nodes, Intel’s designers enjoyed more degrees of freedom with 2D. But for Intel, 2D designs were complex, if not costly, to fabricate. In 2D, the poly layers are in one direction, while the metal layers are situated in random places.
So, to help simplify the flow for its own chips, Intel moved to 1D/unidirectional layouts, and restrictive design rules, starting at 45nm. In 1D, the metal layers are perpendicular to the other layers.
For Intel, the move toward 1D made sense. After all, the company wants to gain a cost and time-to-market advantage for its own chip products. “Intel was the first to move to restrictive design rules,” said lithography expert Mack. “The advantage of restrictive design rules is that it’s easier to scale, especially from generation to generation.”
Intel also caters to a relatively small group of foundry customers. The question is whether Intel’s ID strategy works in a foundry environment. So far, though, the jury is still out on Intel’s efforts in the foundry business.
Unlike Intel, the other leading-edge foundries have generally followed a somewhat similar 2D/bi-directional strategy. Within reason, foundry customers have enjoyed various degrees of design freedom over the years.
Starting at 10nm, though, foundry vendors could end up moving into one of two camps—1D versus 2D. “We have a choice with some real tradeoffs,” Mack said. “There is a choice between single-direction and single-pitch design strategies, which make compromises and presents some difficulties on the chip design side. But they aid on the lithography patterning side. Then (in 2D), there is more flexibility for a design, but this make the manufacturability far harder.”
The big test case will soon occur at TSMC. At 10nm, TSMC is tweaking its strategy on three fronts. First, after being late to the 16nm/14nm finFET market, TSMC is accelerating its efforts at 10nm. It hopes to move into 10nm risk production by year’s end, with volume production slated by the end of 2016.
Second, TSMC is moving towards a 1D scheme, and restrictive design rules, at 10nm. And third, it is changing its patterning strategy.
At 16nm/14nm, TSMC and other foundries generally use a double patterning process for the critical metal layers. In the fab, the process is called litho-etch-litho-etch (LELE). In LELE, two separate lithography and etch steps are performed to define a single layer, thereby doubling the pattern density.
In LELE, the mask layers are assigned two colors. The mask layers are split, or decomposed, from the original drawn layout into two new layers.
For 10nm, the next logical step is to move to triple patterning or LELELE. In LELELE, the mask layers are assigned three colors.
Triple patterning presents some challenges, however. “The overlay challenges can translate into more variation in the line and space,” said B.J. Woo, vice president of business development at TSMC. “This kind of variation is tolerable for 20nm and 16nm. But for 10nm, this variation will translate to a very small metal space between the metal lines. That could translate into a premature dielectric breakdown.”
Instead of going down the LELELE route, TSMC is moving to self-aligned quadruple patterning (SAQP) for the metal layers at 10nm. SAQP uses one lithography step and additional deposition and etch steps to define a spacer-like feature.
“LELE processes are more expensive and more difficult, as compared to self-aligned double patterning. LELE has very tight restrictions on overlay. Self-aligned processes are not nearly as critical from an overlay perspective,” said lithography guru Mack.
“If TSMC is moving in the [SAQP] direction, that tells me that the manufacturability of multi-patterning lithography is too big of a problem if you don’t impose those unidirectional design rules,” Mack said. “TSMC probably looked at what it would take to print patterns with more arbitrary design styles at 10nm. It could put them out of reach of what is economically feasible.”
Still to be seen, however, is how TSMC’s customers will adjust to a more restrictive design environment at 10nm. “TSMC would not make a decision like this unilaterally. This had to be a cooperative development effort between TSMC and its major customers,” Mack said. “If customers are not happy about it, it’s not because TSMC is making this choice. It’s because life is forcing this choice for them.”
By going the 1D route, though, many foundry customers may face a brave new world. “1D means that once you enforce restrictions, you can control variability,” Samsung’s Low said. “At the same time, you are making the designer’s life much more difficult. You have reduced the degree of freedom of laying out your IPs.”
There are other issues, as well. “If I use restrictive design rules, this allows me to print features at the smallest pitch in one direction. I have some area loss that is caused by the design rule restrictions and the resulting inefficiencies of the layout,” according to Mack.
Still, other foundries may go down the 2D route, which also has some trade-offs. “If I can’t print it, then I have to spread the patterns out to make it printable (as in 2D layouts). That costs area. And area is money,” Mack said.
Which direction will foundry customers go? “By the time we get to the 10nm node, designers must look at which of these two area losses is worse,” he said. “Then, they may pick the one that is not as bad as the other.”

SHN Research: 88% of Senior Living Pros Say Active Adult Should Lead the Continuum
By Jack Silverstein | November 5, 2019 November 5, 2019
Technically speaking, independent living remains the consumer entry point into senior housing — the first step in the traditional care continuum.
But as senior living operators know too well, consumers at that entry point are older than in the past, with many now well past 75. That’s why so many senior housing operators are looking into adding active adult — and why, according to original data from Senior Housing News shared in a new SHN report, many believe the industry should codify it as an official piece of the care continuum.
In an SHN survey querying 120 senior housing professionals, conducted from Sep. 16 to Sep. 24 of this year, 88% of respondents stated that active adult should become the new first step in the senior housing continuum, preceding independent living. (Full results of the survey can be found in the new deep-dive report on the active adult opportunity, “The Changing Face of Active Adult Rental.”)
After all, the typical IL resident today is in her mid-to-late 80s. As of 2017, life expectancy for an 85-year-old was 6.6 years.
That means senior housing potentially has less than a decade with any given resident. For an industry battling oversupply as well as the simultaneous surge in telehealth and home health care that combine to help seniors age in place in their own homes, a care continuum that ends just 10 years after it begins is bad math.
Though confusion and disagreement remain around the term “active adult” — NIC is actively seeking to nail down a definition — the product was defined in the SHN survey as age-restricted or age-targeted rental apartments with no care or personal service component, thus distinguishing it from IL.
From that starting point, it’s easy to understand the thinking on why senior housing operators are starting to enter the active adult space. The product addresses multiple problems facing the senior housing industry today.
First, with active adult’s move-in age in the low- to mid-70s, the product helps the industry re-capture a younger senior — a demographic that formerly was in IL.
Second, senior housing operators that develop and own active adult create a pipeline of residents into their IL — seniors who become a greater risk to eschew senior housing the longer they remain in their own homes.
The Changing Face of Active Adult Rental
Inside the Rise of Senior Living Virtual Reality
Multi-brand Strategies in Senior Housing
“We’re not competing with multifamily, we’re not competing with independent living,” Zachary Crowe, principal at active adult leader and private equity firm The Carlyle Group, said in September at the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care (NIC) conference. “What we’re competing against is our prospects staying at home, generally speaking.”
With its 15 stabilized active adult communities, The Carlyle Group is among the many traditional multifamily players making big active adult plays. Those moves, along with increased consumer demand and increased investor interest, is leading to more senior housing operators entering the fray — including a billion-dollar-bet from Atlanta-based Holbrook.
The demographic opportunity
The raw numbers showing the size of the baby boomer generation — including the oft-cited 10,000 boomers turning 65 each day — give only a vague sense of the active adult landscape facing senior housing operators, because those numbers reveal little about the consumer other than the market potential.
When operators and developers drill deeper into these figures, what they find is a vast consumer base, and a greater understanding of why senior housing operators are starting to view active adult as a possible stepping stone into IL.
These young boomers want an active lifestyle focused on wellness, fitness and socialization. They perhaps even want a glamorous lifestyle, at least compared to how they have lived for the bulk of their adult life.
“You’re not getting the ‘55+ person’ — you’re getting the 75+ person who may be retired, but perhaps doesn’t want to renovate his or her house again,” says Dan Cinelli, architect, principal and board director at Perkins Eastman. “And because of the last economic downturn, they basically said, ‘I don’t want to own anything anymore. I don’t want to worry about maintenance or another recession. I’d rather take the money and rent.’”
In other words, just because young seniors don’t want to move into “senior housing” doesn’t mean they don’t want to move. There are two main reasons that young seniors move into the active adult product:
1. An economic lifestyle — what comes from selling and moving
2. A social lifestyle — what comes from entering active adult
Boomers moving into active adult typically prefer renting over owning due to economic and logistical flexibility. They long for a sense of community, whether that means remaining in their long-time neighborhoods or cities, or moving to a new city to live closer to their adult children. They are healthy enough to not need traditional care-based senior housing, but they also do not want to move into multifamily communities where their lifestyles will conflict with younger residents.
Nor do they want to live with older residents. These young boomers view themselves as young, and they want a housing option that caters to that mindset.
Their view of themselves as young is more than just optimism. In 1972, age expectancy for 65-year-old Americans was 15.2 years. In 2017, 65-year-old men were projected to live more than 18 years, while women live 20.6 years, meaning the average 65-year-old in 2017 could expect to reach at least his or her mid-80s, with many people now planning for 90- or 100-year lives.
Through technology, diet, fitness and medicine, seniors in their 70s can also remain independent longer and better manage their chronic conditions. They are not moving into independent living as young as they once did. Ten years ago, the average assisted living resident was nearly 87 years old. Today, that’s a normal age for an IL resident.
Seniors moving into active adult do so for the socialization and active lifestyle, yet for many, there are economic factors as well. These factors often carry emotional weight, which impacts the buy process.
A Freddie Mac survey in April of 2019 showed that boomers face greater economic strain around housing than any other age cohort: 74% of boomers had to spend less in the past two years to afford their mortgage or rent, 48% had to put less money toward savings and 44% had to move.
In September 2016, only 10% of boomer respondents to a similar Freddie Mac survey thought that renting was more affordable than owning. That number is up to 17% now. And only 14% of boomers believe it is “extremely likely” that their next move will be a home purchase.
“A lot of these residents coming into these communities are widows or widowers, and they find themselves in a situation where they want to gain a sense of community, a sense of camaraderie,” says Carey Levy, president of Passco Companies Development. “We want to provide this quality living environment for them.”
The key draw into active adult, Levy says, is wellness — both physical and emotional. That means an emphasis on amenities, services and common areas that offer a range of opportunities for residents to both stay fit and socialize.
While the residents might be drawn to the physical and emotional wellness that active adult provides, the operators should be too. The top reason why renters leave active adult is that their care needs advance. For the active adult portfolios of both The Carlyle Group and active adult developer Avenida Partners, the average resident age is 72.
That’s about 10 years younger than the average independent living resident. If an active adult developer can facilitate a lifestyle that keeps residents both happy and healthy, their residents can spend that entire decade in active adult before they age into traditional senior housing.
“If we treat them right, I think we have an opportunity to keep them for a very long time,” Robert May, founder and managing partner of Avenida Partners, said at NIC. “And with our life enrichment programs, our intention is to focus on that wellness, to keep them healthy longer, so that they don’t have to take that next step.”

This report reveals the depth of senior housing’s interest in active adult, the execution of the product and how these factors are re-writing the care continuum.
After a decade of whispers, trials, pilots and promise, virtual reality now seems on the precipice of a boom in senior housing and senior care settings.
The impending wave of baby boomers into the senior population will bring more than just massive numbers of potential residents. This isn’t merely a question of bulk. It’s a question of breadth, with a wider range of seniors becoming inherently trickier to serve.

Do visual artifacts expand our understanding?
"On July 8, 1853, residents of feudal Japan beheld an astonishing sight—foreign warships entering their harbor under a cloud of black smoke. Commodore Matthew Perry had arrived to force the long-secluded country to open its doors."
The Power of Visual Artifacts
So begins the Visualizing Cultures unit on the opening of Japan, a story told in words—but even more powerfully in contemporary images, both American and Japanese. Text by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian John Dower accompanies the images to provide context.
Typically, researchers interested in visual artifacts have had to travel far and wide, digging through library basements and museum archives to examine forgotten posters, drawings, paintings, and prints—only a handful of which could be included in any publication.
Image-Driven Scholarship
Visualizing Culture, an initiative in image-driven scholarship and learning, uses new technology to provide context and online access to images that would otherwise languish unseen.
Multilayered Reality
"It is tempting, and indeed fascinating, to ask which side was more 'realistic' in its renderings," Dower writes in his essay on Perry and Japan. "But this really misses the point. For it is only by seeing the visual record whole, in its fullest possible range and variety, that we can grasp how complex and multilayered these interactions really were."
The Visualizing Cultures website currently features 13 units, all centered on Asia. In each case, says Program Director Scott Shunk, "The essay is driven exclusively by imagery—based on what is seen."

US Army Issues RFI for 7.62 Interim Combat Service Rifle
by The Loadout Room Jun 7, 2017
Courtesy of Tactical Life
The U.S. Army Contracting Command has issued a request for information—on behalf of Product Manager Individual Weapons—for a new Interim Combat Service Rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm.
RELATED STORY: Don’t Call it a Comeback – Army Said to be Mulling the Return of the 7.62 Battle Rifle
We’ve been hearing about the Army’s 7.62 rifle needs for a couple of months now. According to Soldier Systems, it first appeared that the service might “leverage” its M110A1 Compact Semi Automatic Sniper System (CSASS) program and just get more Heckler & Koch G28s—that’s what the Army is buying as part of its requirement for 6,069 SDM-Rs—but using the CSASS as an Interim Combat Service Rifle wasn’t feasible for a number of different reasons. Thus, this request for information from industry has materialized.
The Army’s 7.62 Interim Combat Service Rifle requirement was borne out of a need for defeating enemies out to 600m, but Soldier Systems posits that Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley’s testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee late last week is now the driving force behind the requirement. During his testimony, Gen. Milley said the Army had developed a 7.62 round that could pierce 5.56mm-resistant body armor. The Interim Combat Service Rifle would fire that round, Soldier Systems says.

<div class="templatebox roundcorners3" style="color:#FFFFFF;border:2px solid #336699;background:#6699CC;">This is an article about DeathLord Nexus XIII, a character created by [[User:(zRexx)|(zRexx)]] on 02/4/2015.</div> == <span style="font-size:20px;">Appearance</span> == DeathLord Nexus XIII is a member of the Kari species, which has an almost-human appearance, save for elf-like ears and small, lion-like tails. He has a very slim, imposing physique that seems to contrast greatly with his brute strength. One of Nexus' arms is mutated, with massive muscles, thick ragged fur, and three massive, curved claws that point inward like a claw machine. It's very huge and can be stretched out at will. However, aside from all this, his physical appearance is unknown as no one has ever seen it. He always wears a dark purple hooded robe that conceals his face in shadows, and he's never seen without his signature red cloak. Fitting with his species' human-like proportions, he's stands higher than most (if not all) natural mobians, being six-feet tall in height. ==Personality== DeathLord Nexus XIII may seem like an insane, crazed warlord at first glance, but in actuality, he's just a bad guy with good intentions. He dislikes violence, and dislikes war, and hopes to end these things for good. However, he realizes that in order to end this suffering, he himself has to use violence and war to his advantage, in order to conquer and gain control. He doesn't like what he has to do, but feels it's for a better future. That being said, he doesn't usually show this side of himself to the public. He prefers to remain in shadows and portray himself as an unstoppable deity, using intimidation to weaken enemy morale so he can accomplish his purpose. On the outside, he seems cold and careless, but on the inside, he's like a totally different person. ==History== ===Early Life=== DeathLord Nexus XIII was born as the twelfth reincarnation of the original Nexus, who was known to many as an all-powerful conquerer with god-like power. Essentially, Nexus XIII was simply born into a life of royalty, due to the line of "gods" which he descended from. Not much else is known, except that he lived a very fancy life. However, one day, he started realizing all the violence that stands around him, and decided from that point forward, that if he wanted to stop all war, all suffering, he'd have to take control. He started to believe that if he conquered everything with an iron fist, it would be a war to end all wars. If he could control everything around him, he could cease all attempts of violence. His goal was to use violence to end violence. A hypocritical mindset, but one that makes sense, if you really think about it. ===The Throne=== Because he was simply a reincarnation of the powerful leaders before him, he eventually gained their powers as he matured. Eventually, his species recognized who he actually was, and most worshipped him as their new leader. There was a rebellion, some Kari do not believe in using violence as a way to spread their species or solve problems, and that's the approach all previous DeathLords have taken, due to each one being a reincarnation of the last. Nexus XIII went to decimate the opposition, leaving only his followers alive. They prepared to set out, arming their soldiers and organizing their fleets. One day Nexus XIII came across a legend of a powerful warrior known as [[Nitrus Kaiser|Kaiser the Rogue]], whose ultimate sacrifice led him into corruption by darkness, proceeded by death. Using an ancient necromantic ritual to bring the fallen soldier back to life (which also transformed him into a ghostly spectre), Nexus XIII recruited Kaiser as his second-in-command. Kaiser didn't want to swear his allegiance at first, he just wanted to kill everything around him, being a totally different being due to his corruption. However, Nexus XIII revealed a twist. Because he was the one who gave Kaiser life, he could simply take it away by snapping his fingers. Kaiser decided to obey, seeing as he had no choice. Nexus proceeded to have his men operate on his new lieutenant, augmenting him with cybernetic enhancements and power armor. Using Kaiser as a commander, Nexus XIII sent his fleet out to conquer. Star systems were taken over, and military forces were wiped out. ''More will be revealed as RPs go on.'' ==Weapon(s)== ===<u>The Reckoning</u>=== A razor-edged longsword whose blade can be sent out on a chain, in a similar vein to a grappling hook. This feature allows Nexus to close in on a target for brutal melee attacks, or to pull an enemy toward him. This weapon is extremely heavy and is highly known for its slow, but very deadly attacks, completely butchering enemies in half with a single slash as blood and guts fall out from both ends. While on his throne, Nexus typically keeps hold of the sword, with its blade rested along the ground. ==Powers== *'''Superhuman Strength: '''DeathLord Nexus XIII is brutal in melee combat, mainly thanks to his monstrous right arm. He can rumble the ground just by slamming down on it, and can send his enemies flying. *'''Arm Stretch: '''Speaking of his right arm, he also has the ability to stretch it at will, giving him further range to his melee attacks. This comes with a downside however, while stretching out his arm does increase his attack range. it also makes his swipes and punches much, much slower. *'''Partial Immunity to Projectiles: '''DeathLord Nexus XIII can also use his right arm to block incoming projectile attacks, especially bullets. However, the rest of his body isn't so immune. A round from a high-powered sniper or a combined blast from a quality shotgun is enough to make him flinch, as long as it hits his torso and not his arm. *'''Lightspeed Dash: '''Nexus has the ability to move at such insane speeds that it nearly creates tears in spacetime. He uses this ability to enhance the power of his attacks. *'''Elemental Manipulation: '''DeathLord Nexus XIII is a skillful user of the primary elements, including Fire, Water, Ice, Earth, Electricity, and Wind. He can manipulate each element at will and can perform many spells in each category. A jack of all trades, if you will.

The Two-Party System Is a Shambling Zombie
It's time to breathe new life into America's undead political parties.
Terry Michael | 11.30.2016 3:00 PM
Reporter: "Are they slow moving, Chief?" Officer: "Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up."
Dialogue from the 1968 pop-cult classic Night of the Living Dead sums up the condition of America's two venerable political parties. Like Zombies, Democrats and Republicans brainlessly plod along, barely hanging on as organizers of choice in our campaign and governance politics. Impotent shells of their former selves, they spawn no new committed partisans, with the upcoming millennial demographic seeking more than just two choices, declaring independence from one-size-fits-all politics. The parties are two old oak trees, providing some shade but rotting at their cores.
The Grand Old Party is split into five branches—actually three limbs, a twig, and a re-surfaced rotting root. The Party of the People has two divisions competing for dominance among its presidential, congressional, and state electoral wings.
Reason TV: Trump and Hillary vs. The Walking Dead—story continues below
Here are findings from autopsies of the bodies left on the political landscape after the Zombie Political Apocalypse of 2016.
The GOP's five divisions (which overlap of course)
Main street, Wall Street conservatives. They are the Bob Dole, Mitt Romney, and Paul Ryan Republicans, who say they seek small government, with little regulation of a fabled free market, demanding low taxes and balanced budgets. Many of them make comfortable livings on K Street in Washington, as corporate welfare lobbyists.
Social conservatives. The anti-gay, anti-choice TV preachers and their flocks are reliable Republican voters, with exit polls revealing a remarkable 81 percent of white, self-identified evangelicals supported Trump, the twice-divorced and thrice married-to-foreigners New Yorker, who has held various positions on abortion and gay rights.
Economic libertarian conservatives. Northeastern, country club Episcopalian Republicans are a dying breed. They make wealth-centric voting decisions, holding blue blood noses in the presence of their Southern, Bible-beating soc-con brethren. Some were publicly part of the #NeverTrump crowd, but probably supported the cheesy real estate magnate in the privacy of no-selfies-allowed voting booths, to protect their bank accounts.
Neo-conservatives. Few in number, they are a twig, not a branch of the GOP tree. But they loom large in old print media editorial and op-ed page propaganda. With help from The Washington Post and The New York Times, these ideologues are always ready to sacrifice American lives and treasury. They gave us the Bush-Cheney elective war in Iraq and Obama's 2009 surge in Afghanistan, working with the neo-con lite faction in the Democratic Party, headed by Hillary and Bill Clinton.
The white nationalist alt-right. Just when we thought it can't happen here, it did. Alt-right Stephen "Breitbart" Bannon was designated as chief White House strategist by Donald Trump, becoming part of the definition of Republican. Sweep back dirt from the rotting roots of the Republican Party tree, and you expose the white nativists, given aid and comfort in the past year by their chosen leader Trump, haranguing against Muslims and Mexican rapists and murderers.
The two Democratic divisions (which also overlap)
The progressive, process liberals. These Democrats-in-the-electorate are championed by Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Erstwhile opponents of elective wars and Wall Street bankers, they demand social inclusion of a long list of identity groups, particularly black, brown, Asian, and LGBT people. They want a lot of free stuff, including more Social Security and Medicare for early baby boomers, and tuition-free college for boomer grandchildren. They are citizens united against the First Amendment and its free political speech guarantee, which they want constitutionally amended so they can feel free to speak in "safe spaces."
The now-old New Democrats, colluding with crony capitalists. This congressional and in some cases gubernatorial division of the Democratic Party reared its head in the mid-1980s, as an alt-left option to throw-backs to early 20th century progressives, along with 1950s complete-the-New-Deal, 1960s Great Society, and 1970s McGovern identity-politics Democrats. They are crony capitalist-friendly, tough-on-defense, neo-liberals. With guidance from their pollsters and media consultants, they seek to attract Reagan Democrats to their election-by-election coalitions, forgetting that Reagan Democrats are mostly dead. They give liberal lip service to the social-issues policy frame, while focusing on the economy, stupid, and a neo-con lite foreign policy. They are represented by New York's Chuck Schumer in the Senate Democratic caucus.
So where the hell does that leave the two "major" parties? As a libertarian Democrat, I have no interest in cleaning up the stinking mess left by elephants in the Trump circus. But I would suggest to fellow Democrats that we focus on up-and-coming millennials and their desire for more choices in all three issue frames of politics: economic, foreign, and social.
Start with choosing an institutional party chairman or chairwoman who understands we are now less than the sum of our parts. We are nearly dead. We're all messed up.

He’s a contributor who contributes on average around 2 articles a year. It’s not really a big deal, especially when its something we presumably agree upon: that the Dems and GOP suck donkey dick.

The lefties see a challenger to Pelosi and said more or less ‘what gives you, a white man, the impression that you can run against Pelosi?”
See with them it’s not results (which Pelosi has not delivered), it’s identity politics. And BS seniority that seems to infect democrats more so than anything else.

Both parties suck. Now,am I the only one that doesn’t like zombie movies or The Walking Dead? All look the same to me. I used to watch Chiller late at night as a kid. Frankenstein ,Dracula,Creature from the Black Lagoon. That’s entertainment.
The original Romero trilogy, along with the Fulci rip-offs, and the first couple of Return films, were good and I still watch them.
I haven’t seen a lot to recommend the zombie genre in recent decades through except for 28 Days Later, which I thought was quite good.
But it’s really, really played out, and I say that as a huge horror fan.
No love for the Dawn of the Dead remake? Those zombies could *run.*
But was it good enough to justify the continued career of Zach Snyder?
*ponders, shakes head*
I actually didn’t think it was too bad. It lacked the claustrophobia of the original and the glorious ridiculousness of the biker gang interlude, though.
It was watchable but the fact that he had to make the zombies fast moving and cram a bunch of action into it was a sign that Snyder is a hack who doesn’t know how to make a movie beyond choreographing chaotic action scenes.
Barfman, up and atom!
Florida Hipster
Is that the one with Ving Rhymes? I like that one.
Fast moving zombies are a stupid idea. Zombies are scary because they’re a metaphor for the inexorable progress of disease. Meaning they’re harmless individually but unstoppable in a swarm.
And yes, that movie should be remembered in shame because it created the illusion that Zack Snyder is a filmmaker.
Zombie movies (or TV shows) are impossibly stupid, except when they’re making fun of the genre, like Zombieland for example.
The fact many people actually believe a zombie apocalypse is possible explains our political situation.
No love for Zombie Strippers?
The Boy Scout one was fun too.

I am of the thinking our political situation now is what makes a zombie apocalypse possible, and may be in fact occurring in safe spaces and youtube vids around the country.
Darth Squirrel
-raises hand- Never understood the appeal of the zombie genre. I prefer works with a smart, interesting antagonist.
Zombies aren’t the antagonists, they are environment. Your fellow survivors are the antagonists.
Often times for profoundly stupid reasons.

I rather liked World War Z (the book, never saw the movie). It was more a what-if story about how different cultures and governments would react to things going pear-shaped rapidly than it was zombie/horror.
Great book, didn’t care for the film.
Max Brooks nailed the narrative structure for oral histories perfectly. It tickled me in the place that my coursework in historiography did.
I loved Zombieland becuase it was a video game styled movie, and it didn’t take itself too seriously.
Can’t get into the other Zombie stuff.
The zombie genre is pretty tapped out, like the vampire genre.
The Walking Dead was a fresh idea when the comic debuted because few fictions had actually grappled with the implications of living after the initial zombie uprising was complete, but both the comic and the show were a victim of their own success and have outlived their natural narrative arc.
There is also an economic reason in that zombie movies–like exorcism and haunted house movies–are cheap to make with new camera technologies, and we are in a severe middling-movie drought where most movies are either lavish blockbusters or cheapies just looking to make their money back +50%.

Pompeius the Quant Retard
Needs more Democrat Libertarian.
Liberal Party of 1930, platform published 1931. Legalize Beer! You can look it up on Google News and buy it at Bookfinder.com… But the looters have gone to great lengths to suppress meaningful mention of the word “liberal” as of 1932. That was the year God’s Own Prohibitionists adopted Adolf Hitler’s use of the word as an expectorating pejorative.
This guy lost me around the time he said “As a libertarian Democrat.” Huh wha? I think his diagnosis of the problems with the Republican party was fairly accurate, but his distillation of the Democrats left much to be desired. Then, I saw that he’s a Democrat, and isn’t really all that interested in creating new, more powerful 3rd, 4th, or 5th parties… only trying to create a better Dem one.
A Thinking Mind
I definitely raised my eyebrow at his overly simplistic definition of the alt-right. Much of the conversation around here lately has been about how hard it is to pin down exactly what the alt-right is, and how big a portion of it is really neo-nazi.
Longtobefree
December.1.2016 at 9:00 am
alt-right is whatever the left wing wants it to be for the purpose of demonizing anyone for anything at the time of said demonizing.
All current labels are so fuzzy as to be meaningless. The only distinction of location on the political spectrum is personal freedom .vs government control.
December.1.2016 at 11:00 am
Yeah he had me until the alt-right nonsense. The witch hunt against Bannon is ridiculous. I don’t necessarily like the guy but he is not a racist, anti-semite, homophobe. The left is simply scared shitless of the man because he outsmarted the fuck out of them and will continue to do so. Not that it is that hard.
Bad analogy. Zombies have brains and also crave brains. The current system has neither element present.

There’s this thing called single member districts.
Duverger’s law
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger‘s_law
If and when the Libertarian platform is enacted, it will be adopted by one of the two major parties–much like FDR lifted the 1928 Socialist Party platform.
The reason the two major parties are in such disarray is two-fold.
1) Progressives and social justice warriors chasing the traditional party base out of the Democratic party.
All those white, blue collar, middle class people who voted for Trump in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have been Democrat demographics since FDR’s time–with a short vacation for Ronald Reagan a la “Reagan Democrats”.
When the white, blue collar, middle class favored Reagan over Carter and Mondale, it was for the same reason. The Democrats had become so infatuated with minority causes–civil rights, illegal aliens, feminism, etc.–and began demonizing blue collar, middle class whites for all those problems.
They came back was because Bill Clinton convinced them he was different from those liberals from back in the ’70s. He executed a retard to show that he was tough on crime. He lived by mottos like “It’s the economy, Stupid!”.
If and when the Democratic base retakes the party back from progressives and social justice warriors (who routinely demonize the very white, blue collar, middle class voters they need to win), the Democratic party will become a threat again.
FDR’s party lifted the 1930 Liberal Party platform plank to modify then repeal the Volstead Act, then repeal the 18th Amendment. That–and God’s Own Prohibitionists shooting men, women, children and dogs in the back to keep beer and wine classed as Second-Amendment and asset-forfeiture federal felonies–was what made FDR President For Life. US voters are trapped, by the Nixon law paying off the media since 1971, in an endless Groundhog Day loop alternating between prohibitionist Christian National Socialist Hitlerism and pseudoscientific lay Stalinism. The Kleptocracy has no use for any non-looter alternative, but the Kleptocracy and the voters are not the same thing.
2) The Republican Party has been overrun with disaffected traditional Democrats.
Same story.
If and when the Democrats exorcise the progressives and social justice warriors from their house, we’ll see the parties regain their composure because of single member districts and Duverger’s law.
They may have to lose another election or two before that happens, and, unfortunately for the Democrats, Trump and Bannon look like they know what they’re doing.
Real and Legitimate News, Jr.
When you actually want Episiarch around – and think about the depraved desparation that entails – he isn’t.
Playa Manhattan.
I made him tell the story at least twice. Lemme see if I can dig it up.
Found one.
Former Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Terry Michael, in one of his emails to Episiarch:
“You are just a garden variety idiot. It is stunning how disgusting you are, whoever you are, hiding behind your cloak of anonymity.”
That is fucking great. And my God is Terry Micheal a moron. He really seems not to grasp the concept of revealed preference versus stated preference. This entire article is an exposition of all of the bad thinking that can occur when someone doesn’t understand that.
WhatAboutBob
Hey, he calls himself a libertarian Democrat. That’s good enough for Reason!
Fucking priceless. I miss Epi. How did he earn the ire of Terry Michael?
How did he earn the ire of Terry Michael?
Probably just by being Epi.
Huh. One of those zombies seems to be squatting in an awfully high number of state legislatures, governor’s mansions and both houses of Congress. Sure, the Elephant herd generally sucks (but they do have Paul, Amash, Massie, etc) – but if you think they will get rousted out by raising an army of Millennials, good luck to ye.
AddictionMyth
The zombies are dead. Bring in the clowns!
Don’t bother. You’re here.
Let me entertain you, let me make you smile. 🙂
Shambling undead two party candidates: 127 million votes.
Libertarian undead candidate: 4 million votes.
Four million spoiler votes pack the law-changing clout of not just the entire State of Virginia with its 13 electoral votes, but all of at least 24 million votes wasted on shape-shifting actors hired by the looter Kleptocracy to help their cronies rob the Treasury. To the Kleptocracy you have to have about half the votes to change the laws. Hence, the small party counts that passed an income tax (6x), made beer a felony (36x) or turned the Dems into a Carbon-tax Econazi party (5.5x) had the multiplied effect of 50% of the popular vote, for they sure as hell changed laws. The rest is fractions and proportions.
Light beer became a federal felony for nearly 14 years because of 1.4% of the vote!
Invisible Finger
On the other hand, two parties is a 100% improvement over California and Chicago.
Yawn… another mouthpiece for the looter media here to explain to us rubes why altruistic, force-initiating Hitlerism and Stalinism are STILL the only game in town. But with unverifiable ballots counted by the Nixon-subsidized looter Kleptocracy, there is probably some truth to their whistling in the dark.
DoomsdayJesus
This is such a ridiculous and unsubstantiated oversimplification I don’t know where to begin.
if this was just about elected officials you would have been safer. But on the Republican side there is a large segment of people desperate to do the right thing continually held hostage by the party leaders like McConnell comma threatening to withhold fundraising, saying play ball with us or we will yank all of your funding for the next election. And without a public profile and constant media whoring they are absolutely unable to swim against that current.
I believe there is a segment of people like that in the Democratic party as well, as evidenced by The Challenge to Nancy Pelosi, even if it was a token effort. unfortunately a lot of the good ones seem to have been wiped out by the Republican hide as victims of democratic tone deaf policy.
In any case the parties are completely non responsive to their voters, as evidenced by the massive swell of registered independents and people leaving the parties. They have both become corporate shills and slaves to Super Pacs comma billionaire donors, and special interests. Nobody more so than the Democrats and how beholden they are to George Soros and Tom steyer and the Bevy of radical organizations they have founded to fund in perpetuity the asinine agenda that will continue to dominate the party to the detriment of serious arguments that Democrats once used to make.
Mind you, when I say serious, I mean simply more plausible as opposed to the backed up sewer pipe that let loose since 2006. In any case I think the only way that there is going to be a serious breakthrough is finding a more efficient way to educate voters that both parties are systematically bankrupting the country and routinely robbing Peter to pay Paul the donor. There is no way to educate everybody on Austrian or even Chicago economics, it just must be a simple demonstration of how the political system distract from gross incompetence and economic disaster through pedantic exploitation of social issues through the media. voters don’t have the attention span for serious arguments.

New Angler Fish Discovered In Gulf Of Mexico
By Francis Yupangco 4 years agoNo Comments
Home / Fish / New Angler Fish Discovered In Gulf Of Mexico
A new species of angler fish was discovered in the Gulf of Mexico. Three female fish were just found there, and have been named ‘Lasiognathus dinem’. Tracey Sutton, a researcher from Nova Southeastern University and Theodore W. Pietsch, from the University of Washington discovered the new species. “I recognized it as a new species fairly quickly because it was so distinctive,” said Sutton. Sutton and Peitsch’s findings were published in the Copeia Journal. The fish were found 3500-5000 feet below the surface.The new species ranges from 1 to 3 1/2-inches long. As is typical of angler fish, the fish have a spiky jaw and a typical pole like structure coming from the top of their head, which is the source of their bio-luminescence. It also serves to attract and confuse potential prey in the deep depths of the ocean where no sunlight penetrates. Deep sea fish are not widely known or studied by scientists or researchers, due to the difficulty of observing these fish in their natural habitats. Until recently, they were rarely seen by humans. There is certainly a wide ocean fo fish still to be discovered by scientists and researchers alike. These three fish will be studied at the University of Washington, in the World’s largest deep sea angler-fish collection.

Davidson College - Integrated Concepts in Biology I - BIO 113 - El Bejjani - Spring 2020 - Chapters 1 - 15
Integrating Concepts in Biology - $ 45.00 USD
This product is for individual use only and is licensed for use for a period of 365 days, starting from the date of purchase.
Taught by Professor El Bejjani
Chapters 1 - 15
Integrating Concepts in Biology (ICB) is a living digital textbook that presents the main concepts of biology in a new, comprehensive format for majors' introductory biology courses. ICB:
focuses on 5 “Big Ideas” at 5 size scales so students attain deeper understanding of major concepts rather than disjointed facts
emphasizes experimental design and data interpretation – the process of science
employs pedagogy that maximizes student learning and retention
The core recommendations of BIO2010 and Vision and Change are the foundation for ICB. Vision and Change called for new textbooks to support student learning. Specific recommendations included a focus on core concepts (what we call Big Ideas) and core competencies, which include quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, the ability to apply the process of science and understanding the link between science and society. Students using ICB will learn core concepts and analytical skills simultaneously.
ICB uses original data from the literature and Integrating Questions that facilitate exploration of the data. Students interpret data that were analyzed by biologists in the context of answering fundamental questions about biology. Integrating Questions help students focus on the main points, analyze data, apply mathematics and construct knowledge.
Bio-Math Explorations help students understand how mathematics can yield profound insights into biological concepts. The math is readily accessible, ranging from simple arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, to more challenging examples in probability, statistics and modeling. We provide the content and pedagogy necessary for biologists to use math while teaching biology.
Ethical, Legal, Social, Implications sections (ELSIs) raise student awareness about the real-world aspects of case studies as they learn fundamental concepts. ELSIs help students grapple with their own ethical perspectives on emotional topics that relate to biology, such as evolution, stem cells, the definition of life, a species’ right to exist, and the costs and benefits of genetically modified organisms.
ICB can help you convert your classroom to a place where the scientific process provides the context and substance of teacher-student interaction. If you want your students to experience their first college biology course the way you experience biology in your professional life, then take the leap and be a part of the national movement to improve introductory biology education. Bring the passion of science back into your class and watch your students realize why biology fascinates you every day.

Missing Woman’s Pack Found on Ram Head Trail
Source staff
Lucy Schuhmann (Submitted by VIPD)
A day pack belonging to missing tourist Lucy Schuhmann, 48, of Kentucky, has been found on the Ram Head Trail, but it provided little information on the missing woman, according to the V.I. National Park.
The park announced the find in a news release issued Sunday afternoon.
An identification card belonging to a St. John resident also was found, but appears unrelated to Schuhmann’s disappearance.
Schuhmann was reported missing Thursday by the proprietor of the vacation rental where she was staying in Coral Bay on St. John. Schuhmann had not checked out as scheduled, her belongings were in her room, and her rental Jeep was found at the Salt Pond parking area in Virgin Islands National Park. Staff from the Park, St John Rescue, and the V.I. Police Department initiated water and ground searches of the area on the south shore of the island.
Advertising (skip)
Sunday National Park Service staff followed up on leads developed by search parties working earlier in the week. Additional searches on the ground took place Sunday morning and park and St. John Rescue divers are searching the waters in the Ram Head area. Weather conditions are likely to deteriorate beginning late Monday as Tropical Storm Karen approaches; a Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the Virgin Islands.
The National Park Service asked that the public refrain from visiting the Salt Pond area while the search is ongoing. The search will continue Monday as needed and as safe conditions allow.
Park staff are in close contact and assisting the family of Schuhmann, who request privacy at this time.
The Park Service urged anyone with information they believe will assist in the search to call 866-995-8467, option 2.

Among these are a few unpublished items. Notes are relatively scant, there being somewhat appreciable materials for the Chippewa, Choctaw, Creek, Dakota, Omaha, Ponca, Seminole, and Shawnee. The chief field materials represented in the collection are sound recordings and photographs, but many of the latter are yet to be unidentified. A series of color photographs of Indian artifacts in folders are mostly identified and represent the extensive American Indian Cultural collection of costumes and artifacts that Howard acquired and created. Other documents include copies of papers and other research materials of colleagues. There is very little original material related to archeological work in the collection and that which is present concerns contract work for the Lone State Steel Company.

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo
Lot No. 302 - 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo
Sold for: £29,250
A genuine low mileage Turbo in an unusual colour combination.
Details Specification
Nougat Brown Metallic (1 year only) over Linen leather First delivered to Jones Garage in Jersey on 05/01/88 Regularly serviced with stamps corroborating the 21,500 miles First registered in the UK on 18/02/19. Just one owner here Long MOT, full book pack and UK V5c Following the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. The result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbine-smooth as a six. Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward. A 'turbo' version of the 944 was always on the cards, and for the 1985 model year, Porsche introduced the 944 Turbo, known internally as the 951. Forced induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, up to 217bhp, with the clutch and gearbox uprated to suit. The Turbo also featured several other changes, such as improved aerodynamics, notably an integrated front bumper, standard external oil coolers for both the engine and transmission, standard 16-inch wheels (optional forged Fuchs alloys), and a slightly stiffer suspension set-up. The Turbo's front and rear brakes were borrowed from the Porsche 911, with Brembo 4-piston fixed calipers and 12-inch discs and ABS was also standard. This immaculate 944 Turbo is finished in Nougat Brown Metallic, a comparatively rare colour only offered during 1987/8, with a Linen leather interior. It was delivered to Jones Garage in Jersey on 05/01/88 before being collected by its first proud owner. The car was to remain in Jersey until late 2018 before being registered to its new UK owner on 18/02/19. Given the small size of Jersey, annual mileages tend to be small and according to the Porsche's service records, the car was regularly serviced on mileage requirements, substantiating the indicated 21,500 miles; 25/07/89 1,166 miles 18/05/92 2,100 miles 22/02/95 3,497 miles 20/03/00 4,489 miles 19/07/02 8,118 miles 18/10/06 12,127 miles 01/11/11 17,852 miles 13/11/15 19,886 miles 18/05/18 20,880 miles This is a genuine, low mileage example of these hugely competent little coupes in a rare and desirable colour combination. It has a current MOT and is accompanied by its UK V5c, a full Porsche book pack and the service records.

Saudi Aramco expands presence in India with opening of new Aramco Asia-India office
New Delhi, India , October 08, 2017
OIL & GAS PROCESSING
President & CEO Amin H. Nasser inaugurates new Aramco Asia India office in New Delhi
Office will further enhance Saudi Aramco’s international portfolio expansion with focus on key economic growth regions led by India as a leading hub in South Asia
New business opportunities can be unlocked from potential synergy between Saudi Aramco and leading Indian companies, organizations
Nasser will also participate in the inaugural IHS CERAWeek India
Saudi Aramco marked another significant milestone in its international portfolio expansion with the opening of Aramco Asia India’s new office in New Delhi today.
The office was inaugurated by Saudi Aramco President and CEO, Amin H. Nasser at an event attended by H.E. Shri Dharmendra Pradhan India’s Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Saudi Ambassador to India H.E. Dr. Saud Alsati, Indian government officials, heads of Indian major oil companies, as well as business and industry partners.
For Saudi Aramco and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, India represents much more than a valued customer or even a major supplier of services and materials. Today, India is an investment priority,” said Nasser in his welcoming remarks at the inauguration.Speaking at the inauguration, HE Pradhan said: “Today is a historic day for us with Aramco’s growing presence marking a new chapter in the relationship between Saudi Arabia and India. Aramco is a key partner for Indian refiners and there’s great potential to take our partnership to a higher level beyond the supply of crude oil, refined products and LPG to new areas of R&D, engineering and technology. In return, India can offer (competitive) cost and capacity advantages.”
“We are here to meet India’s future energy demands by offering a strong relationship involving secure and reliable supply of energy feedstock to fuel India’s dynamic growth,” said Nasser. “And India has the necessary human capital and expertise that can help us grow from strength to strength.”
He added that high volume of new business opportunities awaits to be unlocked from potential synergy between Saudi Aramco and Indian entities with Aramco Asia India providing the vital strategic link between the company’s headquarters in Dhahran and New Delhi.
It also demonstrates Saudi Aramco’s readiness to play a role in India’s economic growth and development which is expected to be the fastest in the next decade, on top of the company’s existing role as a leading oil supplier to India for many years.
“As reliable suppliers of oil and LPG for decades we are committed to providing those additional supplies that India will need,” he said.
The New Delhi office will assume major roles in attracting more Indian manufacturers and investors to participate in the company’s In-Kingdom Total Value Addition, or IKTVA program. It will also strive towards qualifying more vendors in commodities which Saudi Aramco requires for its projects and operations as well as strengthening R&D collaboration with Indian expertise and continuing the momentum of supply for the country’s oil and related products demand. India imports 81% of its oil need from abroad.
Nasser will also attend the inaugural India Energy Forum by CERAWeek as a key speaker alongside H.E. Shri Dharmendra Pradhan; and the Secretary-General of OPEC, H.E. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo.

2013 May 2 - 4 Vintage Sports Collectible Signature Auction - DallasAuction #7075
1930's Lou Gehrig Single Signed Baseball....
$15,000 on July 15, 2014
$11,500 on June 10, 2014
$9,500 on June 5, 2014
1930's Lou Gehrig Single Signed Baseball. It has been said that for every one hundred Babe Ruth singles, you'll find one solo Lou Gehrig, and even that may be overstating the supply of the latter. After all, Gehrig was quoted as saying, "I'm not a headline guy. I know that as long as I was following Ruth to the plate I could have stood on my head and no one would have known the difference." Though this is more of an illustration of Gehrig's tremendous modesty than a tongue-in-cheek statement of fact, it is certainly undeniable that Lou just did not receive a fraction of the autograph requests that Ruth did, leaving collectors six decades after his passing to scrap for the scant few available singles. The Iron Horse fills a side panel of an evenly toned "League Special" sphere with his black fountain pen ink, which has mellowed to an 8/10 brown: "To Leland, Best Wishes, Lou Gehrig." A rock-solid representation of this essential rarity. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

Reportedly, Ranveer Singh was recently shooting for an important scene of 'Padmavati' in which he had to get slapped by the veteran actor Raza Murad, who is playing the character of Jalaluddin Khiljee in the film. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was not happy with the first take and the actors had to redo the scenes a lot of times.
“Sanjay Leela Bhansali took 24 retakes for the scene and Raza Murad slapped Ranveer 24 times to get it right. Finally, the 24th take was okayed by Bhansali. However, Ranveer had no qualms about the same,” said a source in the report.

Pete Cohen talks with Doug Olson
Posted on January 10, 2014 by didymusjudasthomas
My name is Doug Olson
I’m from Nebraska
Western Nebraska
And, uh, my mother has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
So, we, uh, middle of November, now this is first of, first of the year, eh, but in the middle of November her weight, she was losing weight, you know
She was suffering from indigestion and, and stomach pain, and so we started to have her checked, uh, for problems with her stomach for ulcers and that kind of thing, and all that proved negative, and they put her on an ulcer medicine anyway, thinking that maybe that would solve the inflammation in her stomach, and, uh, then we decided that we (?) better see another physician, and so we did that, and they then ultra sounded and then CAT scanned and found that she had tumors in her pancreas and in her liver
Uh, many years ago, back in, in the late 70’s, my parents had been involved with, with the cancer, uh, subject in regards to my father’s sister, and then his cousin
He started researching cancer and cancer treatments when his sister passed away, and then, uh, they got in contact with a doctor in Orden, Nebraska, that treated cancer patients with Laetrile, and he also did other, not so ordinary things
He did duculation therapy
Uh, a number of things that were really treatments for the disease rather than just treatments for the symptoms, and, uh, during that time, dad testified at the state legislature; they were trying to work against Dr. Miller’s license
This was the Dr. Miller in Orden, and, uh, so dad testified on, on his behalf
Uh, dad’s cousin was, uh, a patient of his, and she had a brain tumor the size of a lemon, and Dr. Miller put her on, uh, Laetrile treatments on a, on a special diet and some things, uh
And this was what, in the 70’s ?
This was back in the, probably the late 70’s, and, so, when they
Well they cured her
She had been sent home from the Mayo Clinic
Given 3 to 6 months to live, and, uh, they had, uh, burned with radiation and cobalt I believe is what they were treating her with at that time
Uh, they burned the, uh, nerves in her eyes so that her eyes crossed
Uh, they sent her home to die
They, uh
She was in a wheelchair
She was a young woman and she had a young child
Wasn’t able to hold that child, and so when my dad saw her, met her, she was in that condition
She was it, in the last 6 months of her life
Gave her a book about, uh, the subject, and told her about Dr. Miller, and her family
She then went to Dr. Miller to see if there was any help for her, and he, and he immediately put her on Laetrile treatment then and, and, uh, the interesting thing about it, looking at his doctor’s protocol; because I’ve come across his protocol, uh, Dr. Miller was also giving his patients antineoplastons, and
Yeah, because we’ve got this thing here that you gave me
Just explain to me what this is
This was his physician’s protocol, to list, uh, the different medicines a person should, should be on
If they had cancer
Uh, if they had cancer, and so, uh, this was given to another friend of ours, a friend of the family, uh, the folks that rented one of our properties, uh, the woman got a, a tumor as well, and this was given to her as part of the regimen she should follow, and she was given Laetrile injections, and then as soon as the injections, uh, were over they went then to pills as the size of the dosage went down, and when you got to pills you got to go home
So, uh, I remember speaking to her at the time
I had a
I was in high school, and I had a summer job with her husband, who was the county engineer
So, uh, we saw them all the time, and she told us, uh, the circumstances when, when she was allowed to come home
She was feeling strong
She said: “I haven’t felt better”
As a part of the diet and the things that, that they had her doing
She said she felt better than she had in many years
So she and her daughter, started a business in town in order to pay for the treatments, and, uh, she recovered
The tumor continued to shrink and shrink until it was nothing
Uh, what had been listed as inoperable, uh, after it shrunk halfway they decided, well maybe we can operate on you
Uh, we think it’s operable now
She said: “Why would I let you operate when what I’m doing is working” ?
But, uh, she is alive yet today and in her mid-80’s and, uh, so, uh, when it came to my mother’s illness, we contacted her, and asked her how she’s doing, and she’s sent this protocol she’s been keeping all these years
Uh, as a result of my parents knowing Dr. Miller back when he was alive
He is, he has passed away, uh, 7 maybe years ago, and, uh, many years ago when they were taking chelation therapy from him, he had given my mother, uh, a flyer on Dr. Burzynski, and, uh, said if anything ever happens to you after I’m gone, this is the man to contact, and so we’ve had that flyer in a file for many years at my parents house, and so when mom got sick she immediately began digging that out and found
So your mom immediately started thinking, well I need to find that leaflet
That’s what we were told to do
And did, and did she go and speak to an oncologist ?
Did she say that she wanted to come here, or ?
We had a local physician, who was not an oncologist, that had, that was the 2nd physician we, we consulted, that did the ultrasound and the CAT scan for her and, and they knew that she had tumors, and no we did not go to an on, oncologist from there
because we knew that we did not want to take their treatments, uh, so we immediately contacted the clinic here in, in Houston, Texas, and, uh, we had to wait on, uh, certain things to be completed
CAT scans
Different things had to be done, and, and information had to be sent down here and examined, and then, uh, after a period of maybe 2 weeks, hassling with information, we were told that, yes, uh, we, they would accept her as a patient, and we were getting in towards the holidays at that time
Would we like to wait until the holidays were over, because Christmas
You know, there would be 5 days off for Christmas, uh, over a weekend and 5 days off for New Years over a weekend, and we would be down here in Houston over those times, but we elected to come anyway because we could get the treatment started right away
rather than to wait another month before starting treatments, and, uh, so they, uh, immediately put, put her on antineoplastons and, uh, they sent away the tissue samples to Arizona to have a CARIS test done, and determine what medications would be
So did you have those results come back ?
Yes, those results came back quicker than what we expected
And wh, what did they show ?
Well they, they show a, a list of treatments that are effective, and against it, and then a list of treatments actually that encourage it’s growth
So you end up with a list of, uh, approximately 7 on each side
And these are all different cancer drugs
So what they’re looking at is all
is all the different cancer drugs, and which ones
And whether we’ve got a, a thousand or 2 thousand different drugs that person might try, and, uh, so
So the (?) for how to, to try a few of these chemotherapies, but in very small doses
Is that right ?
There’s 2, 2 chemotherapies
One is an, is an oral chemotherapy that is, uh, quite mild in its side effects, and then, uh, there’s another much stronger one that was, uh, also one of th, the top 2, and, uh, the side effects for it are more varied and more violent, uh, if you will, and, uh, my mother’s had one treatment of that so far, and the treat, the side effects
She did, is suffering from side effects from that particular
It’s Oxaliplatin, and, uh, some people have very violent side effects but she’s thankfully not had any violent side effects
So why didn’t you go down the conventional road of having high-dose chemotherapy ?
Well, when you research the, uh, success rate, with pancreatic cancer, going the normal way, uh, or the normal, uh, road, the success rate is very, very small, and so you’re just guaranteeing, in my opinion, if, if the success rate is 5% or under, uh, you’re introducing yourself to a, a road to death, that’s very unpleasant
You know, you just want to go home and make yourself very comfortable on painkillers and, and enjoy the rest of your life, uh, if that’s the, if that’s the road you’re planning to take
Uh, that was our opinion, and so
What do you think about all the resistance then of, of Dr. Burzynski and all of the kind of, uh, ?
(?) people just calling him a
What’s the word ?
Yes, we, uh, we have seen course, of course these things through our, our life
The whole Laetrile treatment thing was something that was, uh, thrown out
You know, it’s pretty well suppressed now
You can go to Mexico and get those treatments
Why do you think they were, pushed aside ?
This Laetrile
What is Laetrile ?
Well Laetrile is a naturally occurring, uh, substance that you find in some of our foods
It’s, they call it B17 although, vitamin B17, although there’s some discussion as to whether it’s really a vitamin
Another name for it is Amygdalin
Amygdalin
Uh, it’s found in peach pits and apricot pits in high levels but there’s a number of other foods that you find it in
Uh, it, it,
I’m not sure, whether this is 100% accurate, but my understanding of it is it’s associated with, with cyanide, and it would be, uh, like an encapsulated cyanide, that as it travels through your body, the cyanide portion, um, does not become available to your body until it becomes in, uh, associated with a cancer cell
and the cancer cells attack the outer shell of that molecule, and the cyanide becomes, uh, uh, available then, and it kills the cancer cell that’s right there
So it was apparently a very nontoxic substance
Uh, you have regulated dosages
I mean, it seems to me interesting, uh, when a doctor prescribes a dose of chemotherapy, uh, there’s nothing that I can think of much more toxic than a, than a chemotherapy drug, and certainly they’ll kill you if they don’t, uh, give you the right dosage, but it was not seemed, deemed accessible that a byproduct of food; which a doctor could regulate the dosage of as well, could be used as a transfer, cancer treatment
Uh, and we’ve seen things in the past, as well
When I was a, a very young child, I had a great aunt, that, uh, I was not even aware; at the time I was very young, she was traveling to Texas and getting treatments
Uh, one of them was called the Hoxsey treatment and, uh, she was living a very comfortable life on treatments that she got there
There were 2 treatments in Texas at that time, that, uh, were available
The FDA would come in and raid the clinics, and make just life miserable for them
They got one of them closed down, and that was the one that my great aunt was on, and that treatment was, was pills that she could take, uh, and live quite comfortably, in Nebraska
Once they closed that clinic down, then she had to go down, uh, to the other clinic in Texas, which was a supplement that was a liquid that tasted bad, and she had to make frequent trips, at that point, but still, as long as she could get that treatment she was comfortable and, and lived a normal life
A productive life
Uh, we knew her as our great aunt and, and didn’t even know her, uh, uh, that there was a health problem and, uh, but then the FDA got that clinic closed down
So, as soon as she lost access to those, her treatments, then her cancer which, uh, was no longer able to be controlled, came back strong and, and she died
So, uh, the family had been, had access to this knowledge and this, the FDA’s games with cancer treatments for many years
Um, I’m also married to, a, a gal whose father did blood research as a, he was a Ph.D and worked in university hospitals, in blood research all of his life
He, he discovered a blood protein that was associated with cancer
Uh, it was actually associated more with good health, maybe than you could say with cancer, but he discovered a, a blood coagulation protein, uh, or associated with blood coagulation that would, that could be used as a flag or a test, to see whether a person was healthy or not
Uh, as they applied it to patients in these hospitals, during their research trials, they found that this protein was an indicator whether a person had cancer or thrombosis
Uh, 2 of the very largest killers, and this protein, if present in high enough amounts in our blood, uh, was an indicator that you were healthy, and as the protein’s amount, uh, declined, then it was an indicator that something was wrong, and below a certain amount you knew something was wrong
You better be taking further testing
to find out what your problem was
Uh, that has run into resistance
Uh, that (?) has not been approved by the FDA, and, uh, th, our family’s experiences with cancer treatments, cancer drugs, as they’re affected by the FDA, we have determined by our opinion that, uh, it’s, un, unless there’s something that’s going to generate a, a lot of capital, and then a lot of tax money for the Federal Government, the FDA’s not very interested in it
Uh, so, cynical attitude, but evidence bears it out
and so we remain cynical until so, until something proves
Yeah, absolutely
So this is this doctor in, uh, in the 70’s
This is information that he provided
and you can see here that he is obviously, antineoplastic enzymes
See, here obviously
Do you think he meant Dr. Burzynski ?
He just knew of him ?
You have no idea ?
He was obviously a fan, if he was someone that eventually said
He said it to you
Did you say he said it to your mum or to your dad?
To my mom
Probably to mom and dad
Uh, my mom was the record keeper, and so, she kept the flyer
but they both took, uh, the, uh, the therapy from, uh, well, the blood therapy
I mentioned it earlier
Suddenly the name’s gone away
but, uh
That’s ok
So what about, um
You know, one of the barriers that we had is, when we spoke to oncologists, they just said, no, you mustn’t come to see this guy
His work isn’t peer-reviewed
He’s a charlatan
Why, why do you think they would say that ?
I mean I’m surprised, that these oncologists don’t actually come here, to actually see what, what’s going on
So your opinion about that ?
My opinion is, that physicians are, very much, tied up, with large pharmaceutical corporations
Uh, I spoke with my father-in-law
My father-in-law had to have research done in, in his Ph.D work, and he had to get cooperation from hospitals, from doctors, and, uh, all of these organizations in order to have the research done that he needed done, ’cause past his lab, when he wants to introduce research, onto a patients, uh, live blood, and he needs to collect specimens from patients, then a whole ‘nother group of, uh, set of authorizations have to be signed and, and he being a Ph.D working with the medical profession all his life, he knew how tied up the medical profession is, by, generally by M.D.’s, that control the money flow, uh, in the medical profession
Ph.D’s do the research, but they have to apply for grants, and typically the grants are controlled by M.D.’s, and so if an M.D. Decides that your, your particular research is either applicable to, uh, something they think will make a lot of money, or it’s the, the quote, uh, popular, popular item of the day
Politically correct, you name it, then you’re going to get funded
Otherwise, uh, my father-in-law noticed at different times, his research had to be funded out of his own pocket, and at other times, it looked like, it was something that doctors would like, and so they would, he would get funding, but I think that, ah, as he commented, any doctor, coming out of med school, has been contacted by a pharmaceutical company, and has probably signed a contract, that when that pharmaceutical company wants to test a drug, or test an item, that that medical, uh, doctor, will be accessible to them, to test their products
So, with the number of pharmaceutical companies that you have, and all of them recruiting M.D.’s as they come out of med school, and saying, you know, would you be part of our group, you end up under contract with the large pharmaceutical companies
and if, if 90% of the doctors are under contract with pharmaceutical companies, to, uh, to cooperate with their drug testing, then large Pharma, has control of virtually all doctors, and so, uh, uh, if you have large Pharma saying, we don’t want to see a cancer cure, that we’re not in control of, we don’t want to see something that makes curing disease cheap, and easy, and food related, then you’re not gonna
They’re going to put the word out to all their doctors: Don’t have any wo, don’t have anything to do with this
Uh, they can come up with, some written material for their, their doctors to read
They send them the evidence
It may be accurate
It may not be very accurate, and, uh, but it’s just a smear campaign to destroy reputations so that they don’t get hurt financially
and, uh, so, uh, that’s the reason I believe
You know, most of these doctors, they don’t have the time, or the expertise to do the research themselves
They can’t read everything, and so when someone they trust, or someone that they’re financially, uh, obligated to, comes down and says: Here’s the stand that we want you to take, and it’s against this particular treatment, or against this doctor, they do what they’re told
They do what they know best
Uh, my father-in-law, for instance, was, uh, also involved as a professor in these med centers
He taught nutrition, and he said it’s always a, been amazing to me that you can get through med school, and never take a class on, on nutrition
So you can become an M.D., and not understand the value, of nutrition, to a person’s health
That’s a problem
Uh, he recognized it as a problem
I recognize it as a problem because I particularly believe that most of our ill health is because how we treat our bodies
What we eat
Whether we exercise or don’t
Whether we provide our body with a way to flush the poisons or not
Uh, healthy living, and if you don’t teach our medical profession, healthy living, how can they teach their patients
So this, this whole system is, is just flawed in some ways, and weak in other ways, and, uh, controlled, for the purposes of commerce, instead of the public
So you, you think it’s a good idea treating people as an individual and finding out what they need as opposed to like carpet bombing them ?
When we understood the, the individualized approach, here at the Burzynski Clinic, that they would take where they would test the cancer cells, uh, against all of these treatments and all of these chemotherapy treatments and, and anything else that might be out there that would, would treat cancer, and come back with a, a individualized care approach to the individualized cells of cancer that my mother has, that’s when we knew that we had to come here
We wondered, and I’ve told my friends, and everybody wonders, that oughta be the standard approach everywhere
Why wouldn’t you test, every cancer, and see what it is that’s gonna treat it best ?
You, you tell me

She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn’t even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning.
Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They’ve killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.
When her former handler offers her a way out, she realizes it’s her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous.
Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of.

Engage London: A project helping young people at risk in Islington
“The Hackney that I live in and the Hackney of Waking are exactly the same place to me”: Helen Richardson on her debut novel
Threads Exhibition at the Espacio Gallery, Bethnal Green Road
In the footsteps of Islington’s extraordinary women

Islington /
7516213332_af0b2837f6_b Full view
March 8, 2018Manon Dark Islington, People0
Clusters of people are dashing, all in different directions, not considering their surroundings. Around them are the sounds of engines, commuters chattering and footsteps on pavements. It is only appropriate to meet Jen Pedler on her stomping ground of the streets of north London. As a qualified guide for Footprints of London and an associate of the Institute of Tourist Guiding, Jen knows more about these streets and the secrets they treasure than most who walk along them.
“I used to wander around London looking at things and taking photographs and finding out things to show to friends and visitors,” Jen says. Her interest in the historical mysteries of the city gave her the drive to become a legitimate guide. She is qualified to give tours in the City of Westminster, Clerkenwell and Islington, and, since last year, the City of London guide.
Jen has lived in London since the 1970s, moving between Crouch End and Archway. She discovered the city’s hidden stories by “walking around the area, looking at things, thinking about things and wondering about them, and then finding out more”.
Take Edith Garrud, Islington’s famous suffragette. “She was only 4-foot-11 so a very small woman but she was one of the first martial arts teachers in the Western world,” says Jen. “She realised that self-defence was a really useful skill for the suffragettes, so she taught them jujutsu to protect themselves from the police.”
Image Credit: Wikipedia
Jen has a wide knowledge of influential women who have lived in north London and who have often been ignored by history.
She goes further to explain that Caroline Chisholm was a woman who helped people emigrate to Australia and “has largely been forgotten”. However, in the 1800s, Chisholm was so famous that people would address a letter to “Caroline Chisholm, London” and it would arrive. Crystal Hale, founder of the founded Islington Boat Club, also became an important figure in Islington when she saved the historical City Road Basin in the 1980s from plans to fill the basin and build on it. Thanks to her the basin survives to this day.
The 1918 Reform Act/Credit: wikimedia
With the centenary of the 1918 Representation of the People Act which gave some women the right to vote, and International Women’s Day, Jen’s expertise is especially relevant. “I think International Women’s Day and the anniversary of women getting the vote brings a focus on women in March and this whole year,” Jen says. She has dedicated guided walks to the untold women of Islington, which she will be conducting throughout the month.
“Whatever walk I’m doing at the time always seems to be my favourite really,” Jen says.
She is still eager to find out more about the histories that flow through the streets of London. To quote Sherlock Holmes, a character featured in Jen’s literary walks: “The world is full of ordinary things which no-one by any chance ever observes.”

Shanghai Composite Pressing Against Key Support
Many of the traders and portfolio managers that I speak to are looking at the beleaguered commodity and industrial materials sectors as ripe for reentry on the long side. They're watching companies like Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX), U.S. Steel (X), Alcoa (AA), Walter Energy (WLT), Mosaic (MOS), Deere (DE), and Caterpillar (CAT), for example. However, my enclosed monthly chart of the China Shanghai Composite gives me pause about such a committment right at this time. When the Shanghai Comp. begins trading for the month of (Oct.) tomorrow, let's notice that it will be pressing against key July 2011 support at 2,320. That level must contain any forthcoming weakness to avert additional weakness that likely will confront much more important support along the up trendline from June 2005, now at 2,250. The juxtaposition of my sharply declining 7-month EMA against the falling price structure argues strongly that the China equity market could be entering a downside acceleration period that violates significant near- and intermediate-term support en route to a full-fledged test of its October 2008 pivot low at 1,665. Such a decline will have very negative implications for China demand for commodities and industrial manufactured goods worldwide. The action of the Shanghai Composite during the next several days (weeks) arguably will be the most important gauge of the "health" of the global economy (while most everyone remains fixated on headline risk emanating from Greece, Europe, and the Fed).

Write albums with songs that are short for Spotify
by supremepr | Dec 21, 2019 | Music Marketing, Spotify Followers, Spotify Plays, Spotify Promotion
Write albums with songs that are short.
All songs are available and every song more or less receives the payout per stream. As long as an artist can make people conscious of their art they have an chance to develop a career in music.
This technique has been turned by rappers like Drake with records loaded with a lot of tracks that were shorter, into an art. And he isn’t alone. The strategy generates plays, while multiplying per-stream revenue, thereby ensuring a top-charting record.
Fact: Spotify doesn’t pay for any song that gets skipped before the mark. But this goes beyond the easy payment.
Whether or not that career becomes a fulltime job is a discussion that is totally different, but the opportunity for success exists.
Make an impact in below 30-seconds.
“Curators and streamers alike need to be captivated by a new song in under 30 seconds,” Goodrich told us.
In many ways, playlists are the mixtapes, or the new radio, as they function to help aid in the discovery of talent.
Any artist will tell you that now in streaming real success requires inclusion on playlists, especially those curated by brands or influencers with large followings.
Streaming is as much a means of life for musicians since it’s a game, and games are often won or lost depending on the intelligence of the players.
In theory, streaming should provide all artists with a fair likelihood of organically building an audience, provided they could game the system.
The promise of streaming is that it provides a chance to artists at every level .
For developing artists, the strategy also raises the odds of landing big playlists — while also raising positive metrics about songs (more on that later).
As with any game, however, success depends largely on the skill of the participant, and by increasing the profile of your music on a streaming services, a carefully implemented strategy is required.

Bench Talent
TCS to absorb the cost of retaining bench talent on the back of large contracts
The hiring by TCS comes at a time when peer Cognizant has been trimming talent in its top-heavy pyramid in order to rationalize costs. Anandi Chandrashekhar&Jochelle Mendonca | ETtech | July 23, 2019, 06:00 IST
Tata Consultancy Services expects to absorb the cost of retaining bench talent as it looks to execute large contracts it won over the past year, following the highest net addition of employees in the last five years, at over 12,000 people.
The hiring by TCS comes at a time when peer Cognizant has been trimming talent in its top-heavy pyramid in order to rationalize costs.
TCS had issued joining letters to over 30,000 fresh graduates, of which 40% have been on-boarded in the first quarter. The rest are expected to join by the second quarter. The company’s attrition rate has also been lower than peers, at 11.5% in the June quarter, compared to 23.4% for Infosys. Wipro’s attrition rate on a trailing 12-month basis was at 17.6%.
“Sometimes, a few delays may happen based on market situations, which is okay – we are a large organization, we can absorb these costs without an impact on P&L…Even if there is a delay in one quarter or the other, we will continue doing this, we will continue to hire,” Milind Lakkad, global head of talent at TCS told ET.
He attributed the company’s growth in digital technology areas as a key reason for low attrition rates. TCS’ revenue from digital rose 42.1% year-on-year in the last fiscal year, increasing its share to 32.2% of total revenue.
“The whole strategy was democratization of talent. It is working well, this is the first year for us and obviously we will learn and refine on it as we go along,” Lakkad said of the company's move towards a national qualifier test to hire fresh graduates.
Speaking on the TCS’ initiatives to redeploy talent, he said younger resources within the organization are deployed on multiple projects at a time to develop various skills, compared to senior management which can stay on with single projects for up to three years.
“We want the juniors to move quickly – to learn more technologies and have more exposure. It varies from six month projects to three years for someone who has spent many years in the organization. But we want to reduce the three years further even at that level,” he said.
The company has also appointed a diversity head who is responsible for including a higher ratio of women in the task force, especially on the client partner front.
“We have one very senior person responsible for this. Whenever we meet in the management team, there is one session about this on how we are moving on this front – how many (women) client partners are coming in at the end of each quarter,” Lakkad said.
For all employees up to the "C2" or equivalent grades, 100% of the quarterly variable allowance would be paid, based on steady performance in the first quarter, Lakkad wrote in his first email to employees as the global head of human resources. ET has a copy of the email.
C2 grade employees are usually IT analysts with typically more than four years’ experience.

The Beam Podcast, Episode 1: Powering the Globe with 100% renewables
BY Alina Maschirow
Tune in. Listen to The Beam Podcast, Episode 1: Powering the Globe with 100% renewables.
Anne-Sophie Garrigou
The Earth is warming at a faster pace than the world scientists thought it would, and the climate crisis has become an emergency. Fossil fuels are the largest contributor to climate change. We know that emissions traced to the 90 largest carbon producers contributed approximately 57% of the observed rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide, nearly 50% of the rise in global average temperature, and around 30% of global sea-level rise since 1880. This is huge! The good news is that we know what we can do to slow down global warming. And it sounds pretty simple: we need to stop burning fossil fuels.
Recent studies have already shown that it is not only feasible but also economically viable to shift to 100% renewables in all sectors, and unlike many people think, we already have all the technologies available to do so.
If we continue to let oil, coal and gas companies pour more fuel on the fire, the lives of millions of people around the globe will be threatened. Many of them, especially across the Global South, are already suffering from a change in climate, and the injustice of the climate crisis will only get worse with every liter of oil we extract from under the ground.
In short, we don’t have any other choice than to swiftly transition away from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy access for all. What we need is a rapid energy revolution with equity, reparations and climate justice at its heart. To talk about these issues, we have invited three experts who are working towards that goal in various ways but with the same incredible drive and enthusiasm.
Rana Adib, Executive Secretary at Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21)
“I see that the norms we need to change are still very, very present, globally, and there is not enough, I think political ambition with regard to this.”
Rana Adib has more than 20 years of experience in developing and implementing thematically innovative and cross-cutting projects in sustainable energy, environmental services and development. At the international policy network REN21, she has developed a 900+ international expert community and lead the REN21 Renewables Global Status Report series to become an international reference document in the field.
Hans-Josef Fell, President of Energy Watch Group.
“Germany was a frontrunner in the last decade, but in this decade, it became a bad guy.”
Hans-Josef Fell has helped to pioneer the ecological movement in Germany. As a Member of the German Bundestag for the Green Party (1998–2013), he co-authored Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act. Since 2014, he has been President of the Energy Watch Group, an international network which analyses global energy developments and advises governments around the world.
Daniel Kammen, Founding Director, Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory (RAEL), University of California
“What we’re seeing is that in the face of not just federal inaction but quite frankly federal climate stupidity under this current administration, we’re seeing individual states really ramping up.”
Daniel Kammen has founded or is on the board of over 10 companies, and has served the State of California and US federal government in expert and advisory capacities. In 1999, he founded RAEL, a laboratory whose mission is to help renewable and appropriate energy systems and technologies realize their full potential to contribute to environmentally sustainable development while also addressing the cultural context and range of potential social impacts of any new technology or resource management system.He has also contributed to various reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Home Headlines New Land Law to tackle landguards menace
New Land Law to tackle landguards menace
A proposed Lands bill, which is before the Lands and Forestry Committee of Parliament, has prescribed new sanctions for landguards who terrorise land owners in major cities and towns of the country, Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Benito Owusu-Bio, has revealed.
“[With the proposed Land bill] we have even gone to the extent of bringing in and defining people like landguards, and we have put in sanctions against those people. We have also extended it a bit to intestate succession and customary inheritance to do with land, and I will say it is a holistic one that will help regulate in ensuring that all problems regarding land administration in Ghana are solved,” he said.
He was speaking to the B&FT in an interview on the margins of the annual divisional seminar of the Ghana Institute of Surveyors (GhIS) in Accra.
The Land bill is meant to consolidate all fragmented existing acts into one blueprint and eventually become a mother-law that will deal with all aspects of land issues.
On the timeline regarding passage of the bill, he stated that it is presently in the custody of the Lands and Forestry Committee, following wider consultations with all relevant stakeholders.
“The Land bill – fortunately, I would say – is almost halfway through. It is with the Lands and Forestry Committee, which has gone through it and held several meetings with the public and stakeholders.

“As soon as Parliament resumes, they are going to bring it back to the floor and the plenary will look at it and take it through the various consideration stages. We understand it is a huge bill, but we will ensure it sees the light of the day before the end of this parliament’s tenure,” he said.
The Deputy Minister also indicated that a proposed Survey Council bill, expected to regulate the surveying sector, is currently before Cabinet and will soon be sent before Parliament for consideration.
Survey Council and Real Estate Agency bills.
The Chairperson of the Valuation and Estate Surveying Division, Surv. Alhaji Sulemana Mahama, appealed for government to ensure passage of the two critical bills – the Real Estate Agency and Survey Councils bills—in order to properly regulate the activities of surveyors in the country.
“Surveyor President, in redefining the future, survey practice must be regulated by legislation; and we trust that our new minister will make a difference by not adding to the list of ‘Honorable Promises’ of previous years, but vigorously support passage of the Real Estate Authority and the Survey Council bills into law. We trust that he will be the one who does this for us ‘within the shortest possible time’. Surveyors in Ghana will be eternally grateful if this is achieved during your tenure,” he said.
President of GhIS, Surv.Kwadzo Hohoabu, stated that the institution is ready to partner government through the provision of professional services in areas such as land surveying, acquisition and compensation, government estates and facilities management, project costing and management, value for money audit, research, and arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.

Furthermore, he urged government to revive the Real Estate Agency bill for consideration.
This year’s seminar has the theme ‘Valuation and Estate Survey Practice, Celebrating the Past, Redefining the Future’, and marks the Ghana Institute of Surveyors’ (GhIS) 50th anniversary.
The aim of the seminar is to provide a platform for objective, professional deliberation on aligning the current Valuation and Estate Surveying practice into new and emerging contemporary areas; to enhance competence in order to compete in the wider real estate spectrum and be able to efficiently build capacity for managing the varied challenges in valuation and surveying.
GhIS is made up of three divisions: namely Land Surveying, Valuation and Estate Surveying, and Quantity Surveying.
The different divisions of GhIS undertake annual seminars each year, as part of their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to deliberate on issues pertaining to our field of practice and also enhance performance of professionals in their field of work.
GhIS was established on 28th February 1969, at the General Meeting of the Ghana Branch of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors – during which a resolution was passed to that effect and the constitution was promulgated.

Veronica Mars Movie: 7 Big Spoilers -- Including V's New BF, Who Won't Be Back and More
By Michael Ausiello / March 20 2013, 1:53 PM PDT
With nearly $4 million in the Kickstarter coffers, the Veronica Mars movie is not only happening, it’s happening on a grander scale than anyone — most notably series creator and film campaign architect Rob Thomas — could’ve imagined.
With an official green light from Warner Bros. in the can, now comes the hard part for Thomas: making a movie fans old and new will want to see.
RELATED | Veronica Mars Kickstarter Campaign: Don’t You Dare Feel Bad About Chipping In
“If we turn in a lousy movie, that would be a sad ending to the story,” observes Thomas with a laugh.
That seems unlikely, considering Thomas’ script will find Veronica and her former classmates descending on Neptune for their 10-year high school reunion. “Fans want to see those all those characters back together again,” he says. “And the reunion set piece allows me to do that.”

At this point, only Kristen Bell is signed on for the pic, but Warner Bros. will soon start making deals with the rest of the core cast.
But who won’t be invited back? And will Veronica be spoken for when she resurfaces? Also, what will the film be rated? For answers to all of those questions — and then some — flip through the following spoilertastic gallery.

Cypress College Threat Resolved; Campus Opening at 12 Noon on March 5, 2018
OFFICE OF CAMPUS COMMUNICATIONS
Marc Posner, Director of Campus Communications
Office: 714.484.7006 or Cell: 714.493.6626
CYPRESS, California — On the evening of Sunday, March 4, 2018, Cypress College Campus Safety received a notification from the police about a threat from a former student that was deemed credible and timely. The Cypress College and NOCE Cypress Center were immediately put on lockdown and students and staff were notified of the closure via emergency text and email.
The person of interest was a former Cypress College student with a history at the campus that raised this tip to a credible threat. He was subject to student discipline and subsequently arrested in 2016 for felony vandalism on campus. He has also been on campus three times over the last two weeks displaying erratic behavior.
The former student has been detained by local law enforcement, and the campus has been cleared for opening at 12 noon today, Monday, March 5, 2018. Classes that start at 12 noon or after will be held today. The Cypress College campus administration is confident that thorough steps were taken to address the threat.
“Thank you to the Cypress and Whittier police departments and the Cypress College campus community for their quick response to this issue,” said Cypress College President Dr. JoAnna Schilling. “I am proud to say that our emergency processes and procedures worked and that our campus immediately reached out to ensure the safety of our students and staff.”
Students, faculty, and staff are invited to attend a campus forum on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at noon at CCCPLX-414 to hear from Dr. Schilling and Campus Safety, to ask questions, and address any concerns. In addition, the campus community members are encouraged to share feedback via an online form at http://bit.ly/2FgsTkU.
Cypress College and NOCE take safety very seriously and encourage all students, faculty and staff members to immediately report incidents and/or suspicious behavior to Campus Safety at 714.484.7387. In the case of an immediate threat, you should dial 9-1-1 and ask someone nearby to simultaneously contact Campus Safety for the most efficient response. Students, faculty, and staff members are reminded to adhere to safety tips such as walking in groups and utilizing Campus Safety escorts.

Why Tidal is Banking on Meek Mill’s Success
The streaming service hopes to leverage the Philadelphia rapper’s comeback and convert his fans into loyal subscribers.
Meek Mill at a Tidal benefit concert (Evan Agostini / Invision/AP)
When Tidal first announced its promotional offer for Meek Mill’s new album Championships, it sounded like a desperation move. For a mere $3.50, fans can go to Foot Locker and buy a Meek Mill collectors booklet that includes a redeemable code for a six-month trial subscription to Tidal. That’s a $60 value—one of the highest yet for an album bundle. Tidal subscribers also had access to a special pre-sale to buy tickets for the 31-year old rapper’s upcoming Motivation Tour.
The aggressive sales tactic shines a light on the positions that both Meek and Tidal are in. Championships is the Philadelphia rapper’s first album since his release from prison in April. His trials and tribulations have attracted widespread support, but now it’s time to turn that attention into album sales.
Tidal is seeking its own redemption. Based on recent estimates, the Norwegian-based company has around 3 million subscribers—far less than Apple Music (50 million) and Spotify (83 million). While Tidal’s current subscribers are loyal, growth has stalled. Finding new customers is a glaring priority.
Converting promotion-driven fans into lifelong customers is a tall order for any business, especially one that has faced the public scrutiny that the four-year-old company has. The results of this promotional run may dictate future moves that Tidal makes on its continuous quest for subscriber growth and profitability.
Both Tidal and Meek Mill value hip-hop fans that vote with their dollars. The fans who already support criminal justice reform are more willing to back a company like Tidal that shares its values.
Time for a turnaround
2015 was supposed to be a career-defining year for both Meek Mill and Tidal. That June, Meek dropped his sophomore album Dreams Worth More Than Money. It was Meek’s transition into mainstream rap. With Nicki Minaj on his side, the “All Eyes On You” rapper was destined to elevate his platform and put Philly on his back.
That same year, Jay Z announced the relaunch of Tidal. The Roc Nation founder was destined to win the culture over with an artist-owned platform that offered better sound quality than its competitors. “If these artists can sit in a room together, the game changes forever. And that happened today,” Jay said at the press event.
But 2015 turned ugly fast. Just one month after Meek’s album dropped, Drake released the Grammy-nominated diss track “Back to Back,” turning Meek into a hip-hop punchline. Meanwhile, Tidal quickly went from celebration mode to crisis mode. After the overwhelmingly negative reaction to Jay Z’s launch event, Tidal’s leadership changed hands an embarrassing number of times. Reports showed that the company had massive losses in 2015. Industry experts began to question whether Tidal’s value proposition was enough to compete with Spotify or Apple Music.

Three years later, its Meek who has recaptured that same energy. After hitting rock-bottom with his 2017 prison sentence, he gained support from influential friends, national media outlets, and the hip-hop community. Since his release, he’s built a stronger following and generated hype for Championships.
Tidal is still trying to bounce back. In 2016 the company had a big—but allegedly overstated—boost in subscribers from Beyoncé’s Lemonade, Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, and Rihanna’s ANTI. It had another boost this past summer with The Carters’ Everything is Love. But many of these customers left once the 30-day free trial ended or complained on Twitter when they forgot to cancel their membership. Most other music streaming services have long since moved on from the once-popular exclusive album strategy.
The company has since shifted its focus to partnerships. Earlier this year, Tidal launched new deals with mobile carriers in Brazil and Uganda to expand its international footprint. This past month, Tidal also announced partnerships with Microsoft’s app store, Samsung Wearables, and Plex, the multi-media player system. These deals will help Tidal cross-sell to techies and audiophiles who spend money on high-quality technology (and in turn, might consider paying $19.99 / month for lossless sound).
These deals are smart tactics, but Tidal still needs to attract customers that are bought into Jay Z’s mantra of ownership. Consumers buy based on emotion and justify with logic. The ideal Tidal customers are inspired by the opportunity to support the artists, but rationalize their purchase because of the higher sound quality and other features.
When customers segment themselves
Those who back Jay’s mantra are also likely to feel compassion for Meek Mill’s tumultuous journey. Both artists efforts are united on the broader theme of black empowerment. Meek’s resurgence is not just a model for Tidal to replicate. It’s an opportunity for Tidal to continue riding that same wave.
Tidal has doubled down on its support for Meek’s freedom. When Meek served time, Tidal live streamed a conference about the artist’s legal challenges. This October, Meek performed at Tidal’s annual benefit concert for criminal justice reform. With the latest promotion, the streaming service won’t earn any money from the $3.50 booklets from Foot Locker—all proceeds go directly to #REFORM: a movement to liberate one million people unjustly caught in the criminal justice system.

The Foot Locker promotion, despite its steep cost, may offer Tidal beneficial data on prospective customers. To redeem the six-month subscription, fans have to physically go into a Foot Locker store and have a conversation with the sales associate:
“Hi, I’m good, thanks. Nope, not here for the all red Jordan retro 12s… Can I please get a Meek Mill collector’s booklet?”
It’s a simple task, but it makes a difference. A trial subscriber who walks into a store and asks the cashier for a special item is more likely to remain a customer than someone who quickly redeems a Cyber Monday deal that popped up on a social media timeline.
These efforts—the Foot Locker deal, benefit concerts, live streams— are an easy way for Tidal to segment prospective customers. Both Tidal and Meek value hip-hop fans that vote with their dollars. The fans who already support criminal justice reform are more willing to back a company like Tidal that shares its values. When Tidal starts prioritizing monetization over customer acquisition, these are the subscribers to target first.
Acquiring new customers is expensive. But if Tidal didn’t spend the money on promotions like this, the company’s internal teams would spend more time analyzing trends to identify these same potential subscribers. One way or another, it still a cost the company would have to pay.
If these promotions work well, then Tidal will dedicate more resources toward this strategy. The more of these customers it attracts—at a reasonable cost—the better. Tidal knows it can’t match Spotify and Apple Music’s scale, but it can get profitable by finding more of the right customers.
But if the Meek Mill plan doesn’t work well, Tidal will have to go back to the drawing board, once again, and try new methods to attract the subscribers it needs.
2019 might be another potentially career-defining year for both Meek Mill and Tidal. The outlook is positive for Meek, who has an Amazon docu-series and his concert tour to look forward to. Tidal’s future is less certain, but its safe to say the company won’t host another launch party.

Why MOSSAD Torments Me and My Family
Work Out Game
How Mossad Defiled A Public Hospital
Dr. David Russell-Weisz – WA Director General of Health
Dr. David Russell-Weisz started working as WA Director General of Health in August 2015. Shortly afterward, Mossad took complete control of Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, SCGH.
It is obvious that Dr. Russell-Weisz is:
1. An agent of Mossad, the Israeli spy agency.
2. Very senior in the Mossad hierarchy in Australia.
I never expected Mossad to defile a public facility as they followed me around, but they did. The facility is SCGH.
While working at SCGH, I noticed a guy who seemed to be everywhere I went. I later came to learn his name was Ali. Although unusual for someone to appear at almost every place I went, it might not necessarily mean anything. But the guy behaved in a way to suggest he really wanted us to become acquainted.
I avoided that because of earlier experiences with Mossad. I started wondering whether the guy was following instructions fend to him by Mossad.
After ignoring the guy for several weeks, his handlers decided to force me to acknowledge his presence in another way.
Like in any workplace, a senior official can learn before-hand where a worker would most likely be at a particular time.
So I was talking to this lady at the hospital when Ali approached, talked to her like someone he knew very well, and announced to me: ‘You are talking to my mum!’. She confirmed that she was his mum. It was so ridiculous, I mean, even a kid could tell it was all pre-planned.
He greeted me very enthusiastically and told me his name was Ali. I decided to play along, and told him my name. What followed was very unusual.
Normally, people who become friends start knowing about each other slowly. They could start by knowing each other’s names, have general conversations, and after some time, they would go on to the next stage where they could talk about their families etc. It might even take 6 months or more before 2 people become acquainted enough to talk about very personal issues.
But for Ali, it took about 6 hours for him to move from a total stranger to a ‘close friend’ discussing very personal matters with me, and expecting me to reciprocate. He did this by meeting me about 10 times within those 6 hours, and every time we met(or rather, when he came to where I was), he would move our ‘friendship’ a rung higher.
Working for Mossad
From his mannerisms, I knew he was not a Mossad agent, but someone working for a Mossad agent without knowing. The Mossad agent would, of course, be presenting himself/herself as someone else entirely.
As I was going home that evening, I thought about the Ali situation. I concluded that Mossad had planned something very big for me at work the next morning, and Ali would probably be waiting for me at the main hospital entrance that I used every morning.
I speculated Mossad could have planned something regarding setting me up with an illegality, and Ali would be their unknowing link-man, a patsy, so to speak.
I was already aware that Mossad was trying very hard to have me be accused of committing a criminal act, and had been trying to set me up for years. Someone might ask, why would Mossad go to all those lengths just to set someone up? Why not just do it outside the hospital where it would be much easier?
The answer to that is this: I have seen Mossad employ tactics I have never heard about, never read about, and never even seen in a movie or any other media. Probably the reason they are so successful is because they use tactics that nobody knows about.
Back to the Ali situation. I decided that the next morning I would park at a different place, and use an entry to the hospital that I had never used before. The plan was to scuttle their plans for that day, and hope for the best.
Avoiding Ali
That morning, I did as planned, and managed to avoid the guy for a couple of hours. Then something happened. A colleague, let me call him Zac (not his real name), a good gentleman, came for me, and told me I was needed somewhere. I followed him. He took me to a ‘common room’, a place where hospital workers could hang about in between shifts. He indicated I should wait for him, while he ran some errand for a minute.
There were about 10 people standing around, with Ali being nearest to me, about 2 metres away. I behaved like I couldn’t tell him from Adam, and just stood there waiting for Zac to return.
When Zac returned after about a minute and saw me standing alone looking straight ahead, he seemed quite taken aback. It was obvious to me that is not what he was expecting. Of course, I also realised what was going on, but stayed calm.
Apparently, Zac and Ali knew each other, so Zac acknowledged Ali’s presence, at which point Ali came over to greet him. I greeted him, too. It appeared to me that Zac now wanted to go and leave me with Ali, which surprised me because it would then mean he was not taking me anywhere, but he only wanted me to meet Ali. It was very obvious that someone quite high up must have given Zac those instructions.
Sabotaging The Hospital
Someone was desperately trying to force a friendship between me and Ali, even going to the extent of sabotaging activities at the hospital, in the pursuit of that friendship.
Not wanting to risk finding out what was planned next, I quickly excused myself and left. I met Zac some minutes later. He seemed quite puzzled, because apparently, he expected me and Ali to be quite close. I told him the first time I ever spoke to the guy was the previous day, and I also explained how the guy claimed a certain lady who also worked at the hospital was his mother.
Zac appeared even more confused when he heard that. Then he asked me a certain question. I answered that question truthfully. It was obvious to me that Zac immediately recognised he had been set up. Someone had lied to him in order to get his cooperation.
Because it has proved impossible to get innocent people Mossad uses in its schemes to tell me who sent them, and what were their exact instructions, I have no choice but to use the questions they ask to try and figure out what exactly is going on.
The question Zac asked me implied that a very senior person at SCGH had used lies to involve Zac in unethical conduct. As far as Zac was concerned, he was helping authorities so a very dangerous person could be removed from society. And the way I answered the question proved that a very senior person at the hospital was a criminal.
Zac quickly excused himself. His behaviour after that indicated clearly to me that, yes, he knew some people were committing criminal acts against me, or were planning to commit criminal acts against me, but he didn’t want to be involved, either on their side, or on my side.
Since I knew Zac as a good man, every time we met, I would greet him, but he would always increase his strides, clearly trying as much as he could to avoid me. He never ever greeted me first after that incident. It was obvious he wished I would assume we had never met.
I guessed Zac behaved that way because he was worried that if he allowed me to talk to him, I might ask him about who had sent him that day, and what were his exact instructions. And he would be right.
Back to Ali. After that day, I didn’t want anything to do with him, but he was always stalking me. One day, I decided to act. I asked him: “Why do you let criminals use you to stalk another man?”
His reply was very telling. He said: “This matter is very complicated.”
He did not deny that he was working for criminals, and he did not deny that he was stalking me. I understood that to mean he was being blackmailed.
Anyway, after our brief conversation, I wanted to talk to him some more, but he avoided me. He never stalked me again.
Mossad’s Use of Underground Tactics
They use the most crafty subterfuge tactics to hide their real intentions. They must have their way at all costs. They engage in the most base acts as they seek to destroy those they do not like.
They lie, they deceive, they destroy, they blackmail all in the process of making sure their real intentions are not found out.
Nothing is sacred to Mossad. No deed is too despicable to them as long as their end goal is achieved.

The Real Secrets Hidden in Antarctica... Revealed
2017, Conspiracy - 44 min 16 Comments
A wealth of mystery lies hidden within the 6 million cubic miles of ice that dominate the surface of Antarctica. It's a continent shrouded in speculation, misinformation and wartime intrigue. The fascinating documentary titled "The Real Secrets Hidden in Antarctica...Revealed" sets out to expose the juiciest of these potential cover-ups.
The film outlines the suspicious history of the continent, geographical inconsistencies, and unexplained anomalies discovered through satellite imagery. The evidence seems to suggest that the region was more tropical at one time, and could hold meaningful clues as to our ancient existence on this planet. The filmmakers defend this assertion by illustrating the discovery of man-made artifacts by early explorers, areas where vegetation is thought to have once thrived, and large quantities of exotic life buried miles underneath the frozen surface.
Much of the film's narrative revolves around the formidable presence of international military forces on the continent, including those of the United States, Britain, Russia, and even the Nazis during World War II. History shows us that the continent is of tremendous strategic value to military interests. Rumors persist that secret bunkers may have existed there in years past, and that they might have even sheltered Hitler in the aftermath of the war.
The film contends that beneath the innocuous guise of weather and penguin research, the United States might have taken advantage of the continent's vast uranium resources by constructing obscured nuclear testing and missile sites.
More mysteries lie ahead as the film details additional top secret efforts that are thought to have occurred in Antarctica, including the study and manipulation of weather patterns, the storage of mass amounts of food, and the construction of elaborate underground tunnel and transport systems.
The film will certainly appeal to conspiracy theory enthusiasts, but it is executed with great journalistic authority. It's a comprehensive portrait of the continent's rich environmental character, its many decades of geo-political importance, and the enigmatic qualities that attract both legitimate and nefarious entities.
"The Real Secrets Hidden in Antarctica...Revealed" is impressively adorned with many credible news clippings, stock clips and archived interviews which support its conspiratorial claims.

A interesting melange of news cuttings, newsreel... (not newsreal), hanging questions and pure speculation. Few will have failed that ALL the documentation came from a western perspective where freedom of speech is reasonably available. Interesting that the Wiki-leaks revealed nothing on an Antartic military buildup to invade... where?, to secure what resource of which country's national strategic policy.
And the ultimate unasked question... Qui Bono?

Extremely boring
Usually, when you rate, the overall score will adjust at least slightly, in the direction of your just entered number. That "other people" would have entered "opposing" numbers at such a critical moment, as to have the opposite effect, would be unlikely, if not entirely impossible – as we can see, not that many people bother to rate in the first place.
Devil Travels - 08/26/2018 at 02:33
A bit of history mix in with unsupported assertions and open ended statements. I'm guessing the conspiracy was used as filler otherwise the documentary would have been much shorter.
Bill - 08/22/2018 at 23:05
Hmmm... I entered a 10 on rating and the over score DECREASED. So, why is FreeDocumentaries allowing (or conducting) score manipulation?
Lorenzo - 08/24/2018 at 13:30
Because in the meantime, other people have also voted. Common sense anyone?
To Lorenzo: I checked the number of raters both before and after I entered my rating - it only increased by one (my rating). Your explanation is wring.
To Lorenzo: The last word in my previous email was misspelled - it should be "wrong". Numerical counting overrules allegations of lack of common sense.

Night Prowler in Florida Cut Electric Scooters’ Brakes, Police Say
Alexandra Trump
He prowled the streets of southeastern Fort Lauderdale under go over of evening, a pair of wire cutters in his pocket, just one hand sheathed in a glove. Then, the police reported, he carried out his crime: slashing the brake traces of electric scooters and rendering them ineffective.
The suspect, Randall Thomas Williams, 59, was arrested on Sept. 29 and charged with prison mischief, a 3rd-degree felony. The police mentioned they had connected him to about 20 incidents, but at least 140 scooters had been vandalized in Fort Lauderdale due to the fact April 5, and the capers had the hallmark of a serial crime.
All of the scooters were similarly distressed, with severed brake strains and stickers put in excess of a bar code so that the scooters could not be activated with a smartphone. The bulk of them have been within just a two-block radius of Mr. Williams’s apartment, the arrest report explained.
Mr. Williams did not return phone calls on Wednesday, and the Fort Lauderdale law enforcement had minor to say past a information release. But for the previous year, electric scooters have been the source of significantly drama in southern Florida. In June, Fort Lauderdale banned scooters on the beach for the summer. The metropolis also banned them during spring split, on vacations and through the Tortuga Audio Festival in April.
Mr. Williams did not give the police a motive when he was arrested. Credit ratingBroward County Sheriff’s Workplace
Farther afield, extra than 100 electric powered scooters had been dumped in Lake Merritt in Oakland, Calif., final 12 months, whilst many others have been smeared with feces in Los Angeles. There is even an Instagram account, birdgraveyard, that paperwork the destruction of scooters employed by two well-liked makes, Lime and Fowl.
Steve Glassman, a Fort Lauderdale commissioner who approved the summertime scooter ban, instructed The Sunshine-Sentinel in June, “It’s far too substantially of a cost-free-for-all out there.”
Mr. Williams did not give the law enforcement a motive when he was arrested. But the Fort Lauderdale law enforcement had been mindful of the thefts for some time. In June, a consultant for Lime, which rents electrical scooters in Fort Lauderdale, submitted a law enforcement incident report regarding a rash of vandalized scooters. (Quite a few but not all of the 140 scooters destroyed in the city due to the fact April belonged to Lime.)
As of July, the enterprise mentioned, 51 of its scooters experienced been damaged. That thirty day period, Lime explained to investigators it experienced captured a screenshot of a white guy with clippers in hand, crouching in close proximity to a row of scooters, and showed it to men and women in the region.
“Vandalizing assets is not only a criminal offense, it is harmful and immediately harms people who count on these automobiles,” a Lime spokesman stated in a assertion.
Investigators experienced recognized Mr. Williams as a doable suspect by July, in accordance to law enforcement records. And on Sept. 22 at 3:47 a.m. the law enforcement stated, they observed him on video clip, bent over two scooters in an empty driveway. Clad in shorts and sandals, he put a sticker on each individual bike before tampering with the brakes, according to the police.
The police staked out Mr. Williams’s apartment the upcoming weekend. On Sept. 28, he left his dwelling earlier midnight. He stopped to look at a scooter. At 4:10 a.m., he was captured on movie loitering around yet another six, the police said. Their report mentioned 7 scooters have been vandalized that night time.
The upcoming day, Mr. Williams was all over again noticed past midnight, the police report mentioned, adding that he “walked the neighborhood in a stealthy manner, employing the shadows and the alleyways to conceal his movements.” He was noticed approaching a Chicken scooter and reducing the brake line. He returned house. He left once more, this time stopping at a row of 6 scooters.
At 6:16 a.m., the police mentioned, Mr. Williams was approached by officers on foot, adopted by a law enforcement automobile with red and blue flashing lights. He would not go easily. He “balled his fists and refused to comply,” the report reported. “The defendant then commenced to brace, tense and pull absent from officers and refused to enable go of the objects in his palms.”
Mr. Williams was keeping two sets of wire cutters and a pair of pliers, and experienced a glove on one particular hand, the police stated. He had vandalized 9 scooters that evening, according to the report. He was arrested and, back again at the law enforcement station, asked for a law firm, declaring that “he did not want to dig himself into a grave,” the report claimed. Mr. Williams was introduced on Monday after posting $500 bail.
“Lime will go after appropriate authorized action from these who vandalize our residence and put harmless riders in harm’s way,” the company’s spokesman said.
Damages from the 20 incidents that have been traced to Mr. Williams so significantly could full $1,400, the law enforcement claimed. “The exact incurred loss” to the enterprises afflicted, the law enforcement report stated, “is unknown at this time and is however staying calculated.”

On Air: An unsung hero of Alaska radio

Words by Audri Pleas
As the University of Alaska goes through budgetary turmoil, it is not without reminiscing about past community leaders who were cognizant about their neighbors through advocacy and innovation. For myself, I look to the Father of Television in Alaska, Augie Hiebert. To understand his impact is to recall a jovial time of growth — specifically the creation of KENI — Anchorage’s second broadcast station.
Tucked away near West High School are the former dwellings of the Midnight Sun Broadcasting Company’s original KENI structure. Since the building transitioned to a private residence a few things have changed; KENI now resides in the Dimond Center and is under the ownership of iHeartMedia.
Entrepreneur Austin ‘Cap’ Lathrop solicited one of the architects who worked on his 4th Avenue Theatre to design the station. Their first broadcast occurred on May 2, 1948 — but Hiebert would be the only one of the duo to see KENI’s evolution a couple of years later. Most may only summon Lathrop as the man behind the vacant theatre and not as a media mogul.
Sheila Toomey, an award-winning journalist who worked for both ADN and the Father of Statehood Robert Atwood’s Anchorage Daily Times, was a last-minute stand-in as a UAA adjunct instructor as I wrapped up my double major of History and Journalism and Public Communications. Toomey majestically evoked the essence, prowess and determination of past influencers and pioneers eliciting a picture of comradeship coupled with conflict through her storytelling.
Toomey illustrated the stark contrast and blistering differences between certain key figures. While Atwood was an outspoken ally in the quest for statehood, Lathrop was searingly against it.
Lathrop would pass away a little over two years after KENI’s first broadcast. To speak of Lathrop is not without acknowledging the great strides made by Hierbet, who — as an engineer —helped him establish two broadcast stations in Alaska, the first being KFAR in Fairbanks.
Hiebert would go on to establish Alaska’s first television station — KTVA — in 1953. The homegrown nature of our broadcast media would be undoubtedly bleak without his foresight and desire to lace, and promote, telecommunications throughout the state.
KENI may still be broadcasting; however, another entity that Hiebert helped get its start may not in the near future. Without his assistance and steadfast support of KRUA, University of Alaska Anchorage’s college radio station, would not exist in its current capacity.
In 1987, the college station borrowed a small transmitter to conduct its first broadcast as KMPS. The radio waves melodically sailed through the phone lines of the campus dorms before coordinating with the FCC to become an FM station a couple of years later. Hiebert maintained a presence around the organization years after their first FM broadcast on February 14, 1992 offering guidance and a bounty of resources.
Without Hiebert some of us would not be able to say we volunteered at or ran a college radio station nor have the ability to work in the professional broadcast landscape to produce news in the state. He was voraciously passionate about ushering in new waves. Someone who thought about the next generation as our future, not as competition.

Court Jails Runsewe Months After Calling Bobrisky a National Disgrace
in Breaking News, Crime, Entertainment, Judiciary, Society
An Abuja High Court has sentenced the Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Olusegun Runsewe, to prison.
Justice Jude Okeke made the order on Thursday while ruling on a motion drawn from a suit filed by Ummakalif Limited against Minister of the FCT, Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), DG of NCAC, and the Minister for Culture and Tourism, as the first, second, third and fourth defendants respectively.
In the motion, the claimant sought an order of the court committing Runsewe to prison for contempt of court order made on December 15, 2017.
Justice Okeke described Runsewe’s action as highly ‘contemptuous’.
The judge said sentencing Runsewe to the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS) will serve as a deterrent to others who abuse office and disobey court orders with disdain.
He ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to arrest Runsewe with immediate effect and hand him over to the NCS pending when he retraces his steps.
The court had ordered parties in the suit to stay proceedings on every activity concerning the demolition of the Arts and Craft village located in the Central Business District area of the FCT.
Recall that Mr. Runsewe had, last year, threatened to deal with cross-dresser Bobrisky and called him a national disgrace. The cross-dresser’s birthday party was also disrupted.

Voorhees Animal Orphanage breaks ground
After a large donation from one volunteer and supporter, the VAO officially broke ground on the construction of a new building.

VAO President Board of Directors David Semless, Camden County Freeholder Jonathan Young, Sr., Voorhees Township Mayor Michael Mignogna and VAO Marketing Director Jennifer Bailey officially break ground on the VAO’s new building.
VAO Marketing Director Jennifer Bailey, left, and President of the VAO Board of Directors David Semless, right, celebrate a $100,000 donation towards the VAO’s capital campaign of a new building by VAO volunteer and donor Barbara Patrizzi.
The Voorhees Animal Orphanage reached a goal of $1 million towards it capital campaign in constructing a new building, which the non-profit hopes is completed by the end of this year. This rendering shows what the highly anticipated building should look like, according to the VAO.
Thanks to a large donation from a Voorhees Animal Orphanage supporter and volunteer, the nonprofit animal shelter has reached the $1 million mark in its capital campaign for a new building at its location at 419 Cooper Road.
Public officials joined VAO employees and volunteers to celebrate breaking ground on the construction of its new 8,900 square-foot shelter Tuesday, April 9.
“We are so excited to see our dream of building a new shelter become a reality,” said David Semless, president of the VAO board of directors. “Since our inception in 1988, we have saved the lives of more than 30,000 cats and dogs – never turning away a cat or dog in need. This new facility will help us to efficiently continue our mission of providing loving care to our cats and dogs until we can find them their forever homes.”
VAO employees say the new shelter will double the amount of space it has for cats and dogs, thus generating more adoptions. Additional improvements to the upcoming shelter include dog kennels that are 50 percent larger, separate cat and dog meet-and-greet rooms, a larger and more accommodating lobby for guests, much-needed storage space and much more.
The groundbreaking ceremony was thanks in part due to the donation of $100,000 by Cherry Hill resident Barbara Partizzi, who told her personal story of how a cat her parents adopted at the VAO changed the lives of her and her parents for the better.
Patrizzi’s parents adopted a cat named Bonnie about 10 years ago, with Bonnie immediately clinging to Patrizzi’s mom. After her mom passed away, Bonnie became much more friendly with Patrizzi’s father. Patrizzi then returned home to care for her father about a year ago, and saw the love Bonnie gave her parents during their lives.
“Bonnie was a real support to our family through a tough time,” Patrizzi said at the ceremony. “Animals give so much to us and ask so little in return. I believe that it’s our community’s responsibility to care for our most vulnerable animals, and the animals that pass through the VAO are exactly that.”
Patrizzi said animals like Bonnie are waiting to love their future owners at the VAO, and thanked all who assist animals at the VAO for their hard work year-round.
“None are turned away, and they’re given a second chance at life,” Patrizzi said. “As a volunteer here, I have seen with my own eyes the dedication, hard work, creativity, heart, compassion – the staff and volunteers here are just incredible.”
Reaching the $1 million mark in its capital campaign for its new building, the VAO was able to break ground, however it is still continuing to raise funds toward its total goal of $1.6 million; supporters and companies are still able to donate via the shelter’s website at vaonj.org/donate/capital-campaign/.
“We are so grateful to Barbara for her extremely generous donation and for all the time she has devoted to the Voorhees Animal Orphanage,” said VAO Marketing Director Jennifer Bailey. “Her donation not only helped us bring our total to $1 million for our new shelter, but will hopefully inspire others to donate to our ‘Building a Pawsitive Future’ campaign so that we can provide our animals with the loving care and facility they deserve.”
VAO officials said the new building will be going up in two phases, with Phase I being the construction of 42 kennels next to the existing building for dogs and cats, which is expected to take approximately eight weeks. Afterward, Phase II will be the construction of the main portion of the building, along with an additional 26 kennels on the opposite side of the kennels built from Phase I. Officials expect Phase II to be complete by the end of the year.
Voorhees Township Mayor Michael Mignogna was in attendance to help break ground on the new building and congratulated the VAO for its dedication to improving the lives of animals over the years.
“I’m so proud of the work this organization has done for the last three decades, saving thousands of animals and finding homes for these animals,” said Mignogna. “And they’ve done this wonderful work in what was less than ideal conditions.”
“It’s so great that this dream is finally becoming a reality. I’m so proud of the work this organization does.” Mignogna added.
Camden County Freeholder Jonathan Young Sr. was also in attendance to congratulate the VAO on moving forward with its new building.
The VAO serves as the municipal shelter for 16 Camden County municipalities, including Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Berlin Borough and more, while also serving five municipalities in Salem County.

Union Win Marks Step Forward for Student Labor Movement
Shera S. Avi-Yonah and Molly C. McCafferty on Thursday, April 26 2018 - 11:32am
Harvard research and teaching assistants' vote to unionize last week was unique in its scale and drew on a decades-long push to form graduate student unions, according to several labor experts and union organizers.

Senate Bill to Curtail Labor Rights on Tribal Land Falls Short
Noam Scheiber on Tuesday, April 17 2018 - 12:25pm
Organized labor managed an increasingly rare feat on Monday — a political victory — when its allies turned back a Senate measure aimed at rolling back labor rights on tribal lands.
The legislation, called the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act, would have exempted enterprises owned and operated by Native American tribes from federal labor standards, even for employees who were not tribal citizens.

How Does Your State Stack Up on Pay Equity for Women?
Charisse Jones on Wednesday, April 11 2018 - 11:11am
The notion of bringing home 80 cents for every dollar pocketed by a man on a national basis is unsettling enough. But it's even more startling when those lost wages are added up.
Overall, it amounts to $10,000 in lost wages a year, says Debra Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women and Families. That chunk of cash could pay for 14 more months of child care, 74 more weeks of groceries and an additional 10 months of rent for the average woman.

Want To Carry On Martin Luther King Jr.’s Work? Join A Union

Fifty years ago this week, Martin Luther King Jr. went to Memphis, Tennessee, to march with the city’s striking black sanitation workers. Wages were bad, and conditions were so unsafe that workers were seriously injured or even killed while using the trash compactors of their trucks. The city of Memphis, their employer, refused to do better; city officials refused to act to improve their wages or safety.

The Gay Union Organizer Who Helped MLK Change the World
Kenneth Quinnell on Wednesday, April 4 2018 - 12:03pm
As America prepares to observe the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination today, there is one name you may not hear: Bayard Rustin. A close confidante and mentor of King, Rustin was a key leader of the civil rights movement and chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. He proved to be a transformative figure in the fight for racial justice, even introducing King to the Gandhian principles of nonviolence that would come to define the struggle. He also happened to be gay.

Democrats Better Remember: Unions Carried Pennsylvania’s 18th District
Richard Trumka & Rick Bloomingdale on Tuesday, April 3 2018 - 4:59pm
Rep.-elect Conor Lamb made national waves with his improbable win in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District. He faced down $10 million in outside money funneled to his opponent by corporate and right-wing interests. He fought through a barrage of incessant, hyperpartisan attacks blanketing the airwaves. He was abandoned by his own party’s national infrastructure in a district that hadn’t elected a Democrat in nearly 15 years. And he still came out on top.

The Janus-Faced War on Unions
Richard Trumka on Tuesday, March 27 2018 - 1:02pm
In their quest for even bigger profit margins, the rich and powerful have always tried to divide and suppress working people. Whether they’re seeking to quash worker protections, lower wages, cut benefits or weasel out of pension obligations, they know their biggest roadblock to unchecked power has always been a strong union.

The One Thing Democrats Should Learn From Conor Lamb
John Nichols on Tuesday, March 27 2018 - 12:56pm
Paul Ryan and Donald Trump are running scared. After the Republican candidate who ran with the ardent backing of the Republican Speaker of the House and the Republican president lost a special election for a Pennsylvania congressional seat in a district that was so Republican-friendly that Donald Trump won it by 20 points and the former GOP congressman regularly ran without opposition, the men who define the Republican Party as it now exists had to explain their loss.

Africa is home to linguistic diversity. In fact, It is estimated that the number of languages spoken in the continent could be between 1.250 and 2.100. Nigeria alone has over 500 languages. Swahili, Arabic, Somali, Amharic, Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba are only some of the most spoken languages on the continent. Wouldn’t it be easy for all Africans speak one language?

International Mother Language Day is observed annually on 21 February. Its aim is to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity. It also highlights the importance of multilingualism. This year, UNESCO's aim was to raise awareness and to promote access to indigenous languages. To celebrate this International Year of Indigenous Languages, Swahili students at SOAS met Salim Kikeke from the BBC and talked about their reasons for studying Swahili. Swahili, a popular language choice at SOAS, plays an important role in changing the way that many of the students see the world. Together with their teacher, Ida Hadjivayanis, the students could bring attention to the significance of learning languages and how that can promote sustainable development.

Swahili (Kiswahili) Swahili is a Bantu language spoken in Tanzania, Burundi, Congo (Kinshasa) Kenya, Mayotte, Mozambique, Oman, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, Uganda, UAE and the USA. Around 5 million people speak Swahili as a native language, and a further 135 million speak is as a second language. Swahili is an official language of Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya, and is used as a lingua franca throughout East Africa. The majority of people in Tanzania and Kenya speak Swahili as a second language, and most educated Kenyans are fluent in the language, as it is compulsory in schools, and also taught in universities. In the Democratic Republic of Congo Swahili is spoken in the five eastern provinces, and overall almost half of the population speak it. In Uganda Swahili is widely spoken among non-Baganda people, and is taught in schools. The name Swahili comes from the Arabic word سَوَاحِل (sawāḥil), the plural of سَاحِل (sāḥil - boundry, coast) and means "coastal dwellers". The prefix ki- is attached to nouns in the noun class that includes languages, so Kiswahili means "coastal language". Music: Jungle Wildlife
Swahili may refer to:

Swahili language, a Bantu language official in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and widely spoken in the African Great Lakes

Swahili, also known as Kiswahili, is a Bantu language and the first language of the Swahili people. It is a lingua franca of the African Great Lakes region and other parts of Southeast Africa, including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The closely related Comorian language, spoken in the Comoros Islands, is sometimes considered a dialect.
Although only around five to fifteen million people speak Swahili as their first language, it is used as a lingua franca in much of Southeast Africa. Estimates of the total number of Swahili speakers vary widely, from 60 million to over 150 million. Swahili serves as a national language of four nations: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Shikomor, the official language in Comoros and also spoken in Mayotte (Shimaore), is related to Swahili. Swahili is also one of the working languages of the African Union and one of the official languages of the East African Community.

"Radio" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Darius Rucker. It was released on July 22, 2013 as the third single from his album True Believers. Rucker wrote the song with Luke Laird and Ashley Gorley.
The song is a reflection on the narrator's teenage years: specifically, of borrowing his mother's car to take his girlfriend for a ride, and listening to songs on the radio while doing so.
The song generally received favorable reviews. Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave the song four and a half stars out of five, saying that "it sounds like the kind of fun song you would want to hear on the radio at a memorable moment." Peacock praised Rucker's "all-smiles delivery" and the song's "incredibly catchy melody and tight production." He also compared its theme to "I Watched It All (On My Radio)" by Lionel Cartwright. Tammy Ragusa of Country Weekly gave the song an A grade, calling it "the perfect marriage of an artist’s effervescent personality with an upbeat song, this one about the love of music." Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song two and a half stars out of five, writing that "the uptempo tribute to young love, open roads and, of course, the radio is familiar and easy to fall for, especially when powered by Rucker’s unequaled exuberance." However, Dukes also called the song "a little fluffy" and "not difficult to forget."

International Mother Language Day is observed annually on 21 February. Its aim is to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity. It also highlights the importance of multilingualism. This year, UNESCO's aim was to raise awareness and to promote access to indigenous languages. To celebrate this International Year of Indigenous Languages, Swahili students at SOAS met Salim Kikeke from the BBC and talked about their reasons for studying Swahili. Swahili, a popular language choice at SOAS, plays an important role in changing the way that many of the students see the world. Together with their teacher, Ida Hadjivayanis, the students could bring attention to the significance of learning languages and how that can promote sustainable development.

Flo Rida "Low" Official Music Video - Step Up 2 The Streets (2008 Movie)
Watch the NEW Step Up: High Water trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS5ZSkHUqBQ Watch the new music video "Low" by Flo Rida feat T-Pain from the Step Up 2 The Streets original soundtrack. The follow up to the 2006 smash hit, Step Up, STEP UP 2 THE STREETS follows a rebellious street dancer Andie (Briana Evigan) as she embarks on a journey to fit in at the elite Maryland School of the Arts, where she meets Chase (Robert Hoffman), the school's hottest dancer. Featuring the directorial debut of Jon M. Chu, STEP UP 2 THE STREETS reunites much of the production team behind the original film, including the cutting-edge hip-hop choreographer Jamal Sims, who is joined this time by choreographers Hi-Hat ("hip-hop's high diva of dance") and Dave Scott ("Stomp the Yard").

Why this bottle of whisky sold for a record-breaking $1.1 million
vincent_admin October 9, 2018 October 9, 2018 Comments Off on Why this bottle of whisky sold for a record-breaking $1.1 million
It’s not about the taste.
A 750-milliliter bottle of single-malt 60-year-old Macallan 1926 whisky sold last week at Bonham’s in Edinburgh for a record price of 848,800 pounds, or just over $1.1 million.
But no one expects it will hold the record for long, because less than 24 hours after it sold — for the price, the New York Times notes, of a small Scottish castle — Christie’s unveiled a bottle of even rarer single-malt 60-year-old Macallan whisky, which is set for auction in November and will likely go for even more. Assuming everything proceeds as expected, the bottle, Bloomberg reports, could “crack the 1 million pounds mark,” or just over $1.3 million.
“It’s literally the holy grail,” says Sean McGlone, managing director at Whisky Auctioneer, a Perth-based online auction house, of the soon-to-sell Macallan. “It’s the rarest bottle of whisky in the world. I don’t know if the price for this one will ever be beaten.”
That’s great news if you are looking to offload a bottle of Macallan. What is less clear, to a whisky outsider: Why are people buying it? What do you do with a $1 million-plus bottle of whisky? And what does a $40,000 pour actually taste like?
Macallan 1926 ranges from rare to one-of-a-kind
These record-breaking bottles — not just the one that sold last week in Edinburgh, or the one slated for auction at Christie’s in November, but the pair that broke records in Dubai in April (purchased at the Dubai Airport) and another pair that broke records in May (at a Bonham’s auction in Hong Kong), and the bottle that will hit the block at Sotheby’s in New York next week (high estimate: $1.2 million) — all contain the same whisky: the Macallan 1926, which was aged 60 years before being bottled, with what Christie’s calls “appropriate reverence,” in 1986. Only 40 bottles were ever produced.
And it gets rarer thanks to the packaging. Twelve of those bottles had labels by the Italian pop artist Valerio Adami; another 12 had labels by British artist Peter Blake, who is particularly famous for co-creating the album cover art for the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The bottle that sold last week in Edinburgh was an Adami. The one up next week at Sotheby’s is a Blake.
We don’t actually know where all those bottles are, or if they’re even all intact: According to the New York Times, one of the Adami bottles might have been destroyed in a Japanese earthquake in 2011, and at least one other “may have been opened and drunk,” presumably at a time when it was worth a slightly less astronomical amount.
The bottle set to sell at Christie’s is even rarer than those, though, because the label is hand-painted by the Irish artist Michael Dillon. “It’s literally one-of-a-kind,” McGlone tells me. “It’s the only one.”
The key factors of the price tag: rarity, age, and brand
“It’s all down to rarity,” McGlone says of Macallan’s price. “There’s no shortcut in whisky to make good product.” If, today, you decide you want to make 60-year-old whisky, then you have to let it age for … 60 years. It’s a slow, slow process, and there is nothing you can do to make it faster; as a result, it commands a certain price, which only climbs higher due to the extremely limited supply.
And then there is the Macallan name. “As with everything else, you could probably get a Kmart handbag for pennies, whereas one from Gucci or Versace will cost considerably more,” McGlone says. “Macallan is in a completely different price league from everything else because it is the collectible whisky.”
The Macallan, a distillery in Speyside, Scotland, just outside the village of Craigellachie, has long been considered to produce “one of the best single malts ever.” There are other 60-year-old bottles, from other excellent distilleries, but while “the liquid is considered as good as Macallan in a lot of instances,” McGlone says, “it would never hit the kind of money that Macallan will hit. It doesn’t have the same sort of brand recognition.”
And the current fervor is self-perpetuating: The more excited people get about a rare Macallan, the higher the prices go, and the higher the prices go, the more excited people get.
The Macallan 1926 has transcended its original purpose to become something else: a collector’s item, an investment, art. So how much of the value comes from the quality of the actual liquid inside? Hyman says it’s not so easy to quantify.
“Is a Picasso that much better than a Chagall? Why is a Picasso worth $150 million and a Chagall is worth $10 million, or whatever it is,” he asks. “It all comes down to the subjectivity of the people who are buying these things.” On some level, a collectible is worth approximately whatever somebody is willing to pay for it.
That does not mean you have to pay the price of a Scottish castle for a Macallan-brand bottle. You can, at this very moment, buy a bottle of Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old whisky for $71. You could also, if you happen to have a spare $11,000 lying around, buy a bottle of Macallan Fine & Rare 1990. As the name suggests, it was distilled in 1990, which is, the description points out, the year Nelson Mandela was freed from prison and J.K. Rowling got the idea for Harry Potter on a train. While $11,000 is certainly a lot, it’s not enough to buy historic property.
What about taste?
It is difficult to assess the taste profile of a bottle of the Macallan 1926 because most people haven’t tried it. “I’ve never tasted it,” Joseph Hyman, a fine spirits specialist at the auction house Skinner says, laughing with but also at me. “It’s certainly out of my price range.”
“The liquid is probably good, but it’s not a million pounds better than something else, if you know what I mean,” offers McGlone, who hasn’t tried it either.
David Robertson, who was a master distiller at Macallan from the mid-’90s through the mid-2000s, is among the few who’ve tried it, and in his estimation, McGlone is correct. “When I tasted it, the whisky was quite intense, dry, and tasted of fruit with some hint of warming spice,” he told the New York Times. “But I had to try a lot of whiskies over the years and in my humble opinion, there were a number that were better than this one.”
This does not really matter, though, because it’s unlikely anyone who buys a bottle of Macallan 1926 is planning to actually drink it. “It would be great to think that the whisky could be opened by the buyer,” Robertson told the Times. “That is what it was produced for. But for some people, opening a $1.1 million bottle of whisky is quite a big decision.”
Buying million-dollar whisky is like buying art — with one important difference
There are people buying very expensive bottles of whisky at auction and drinking them, either to show off or to celebrate high-rolling business deals or because they’re really, really into whisky, and if you want to taste the weird, rare stuff, you’ve got to pay collector prices for it.
But like Roberts says, most likely, no one is buying million-dollar bottles to consume them. “It’s very much like the art market at this point on those higher-end items, because they’re not really opened,” Hyman says. “They’re for enjoying having them.”
Somebody with a display cabinet full of astronomically expensive rare whisky is more or less the same, he tells me, as somebody who’s dedicated the “grand room in their mansion” to displaying their personal art collection.
The difference is that art was meant to be looked at and whisky was meant to be drunk, and whisky that sits in a cabinet never gets to fulfill its purpose. “That’s the double-edged sword,” Hyman tells me philosophically. These whiskies “were produced originally to be drunk. The fact that they became a collectible is a different thing. That’s a newer thing.”
Eventually, he suspects, someone will drink them — someday they will get damaged, the seals will get compromised, there’ll be some evaporation, and the value will fall, he says. “In the meantime, it’s creating a frenzy.”

Portumna Heritage Trail
Click here to return to the Portumna Heritage Trail
7. The Abbey
Portumna Priory is located quite close to Portumna Castle, Portumna, on the west bank of the Shannon River in County Galway. Originally possessed by the Clan Madden, the area was ruled by the Burkes of Clanricard after a Burke-Madden marriage in the 16th century.
Portumna Priory was a chapel attached to the monastery of Dunbrody dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, County Wexford, built in 1254 by the Cistercians and later taken over by the Dominicans in 1426. When it was abandoned by the Cistercians it was given to the Dominicans by O'Madden, the local chieftain. The Dominicans who, with the consent of the Cistercians, erected a friary and a church which they dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. Pope Martin V granted a Bull to confirm their possessions in 1426.
Suppressed during the Reformation it enjoyed a revival in the 17th century under the patronage of the Earls of Clanricarde before being finally abandoned in 1712. The Priory was used as a Protestant Church in 1762 until the completion of the existing church in 1832. The ruins are now a national monument and are in very good condition. It was the site of the marriage in December 1689 between Lady Honor Burke of Portumna and Patrick Sarsfield, Earl of Lucan.
The Priory was used as a Protestant church around 1760. The Priory contains the tomb of the Earl of Clanicarde and his wife. The remains consist of a church with nave, chancel and transepts, a cloister and domestic buildings.
Hidden Treasure – The Abbey, Portumna, Co. Galway, Ireland
“Outside the old ruined castle of Clan Rickard which lies south west of the village of Portumna is built a tunnel. People say that when Ireland was convulsed by a struggle with the Danes, the monks – who then had a monastery about 300 hundred yards away – used to hide their gold in this tunnel. The tunnel leads to a field beside the Shannon owned by a man called Elliot
When the Danes were found to be coming, the monks used to hide the gold in it and leave the tunnel by Elliot’s field beside the Shannon and take to the boats moored nearby to escape. The Danes were very fond of gold and on this account the monks built the tunnel to store their gold.
A land agent for Viscount Harewood named Moran and a couple of workmen on the Harewood estate opened the mouth of the tunnel; they went in some little distance with a lighted candle. After a while the candle quenched which proved there was no air therein. All the party saw a large dog which is supposed to guard the treasure, night and day, and it is believed will not allow anyone to touch it, so they fled in terror.
The Lord Abbots name was O’Madden and to him belonged the priceless treasure hidden in the tunnel. He was replaced by a man named McEgan, one of the McEgan’s from Ballymcegan in Munster. A big black wolf is said to have guarded the tunnel. The value of the treasure is unknown.
Hearing the story a man by the name of O’Toole decided to unearth it – being half way in the tunnel he was eaten by the big black wolf.
Some years after, another man by the name of Ryan made up his mind to explore the tunnel. This time with success, he emerged from the tunnel with a handful of precious jewels which weighed 3lbs.
The treasure is believed to be buried in the old castle now hidden from sight under the earth, in Silk’s Wood (called after the man who planted it) believed to be in a tunnel in chests consisting of precious stones and silver chalices, hidden in a smaller tunnel running into a larger one going to Stoneyisland.
While others believe The Danes to have taken the sacred vessels and thrown into the River Shannon.
Most inscriptions at the Abbey tend to begin c.1760 or the following decade. These markers were erected by people of means. For the vast majority of the population their graves were marked perhaps by rough stones, or not at all. A good reason for people to care for what does exist.

Hong Kong endures more transit disruptions, more violence
HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong residents are enduring a fourth day of traffic snarls and mass transit disruptions as protesters closed some major arteries and rail networks while police skirmished with militant students at major universities.
Life in this city of 7.5 million has been under strain as thousands of commuters were unable to make it to work and the government appealed on Thursday for employers to show flexibility.
Riot police fired tear gas during standoffs with students at Polytechnic University. Militant protesters have hurled gasoline bombs and thrown objects off bridges during clashes at university campuses this week. Chinese University suspended classes for the rest of the year, and others asked students to switch to online learning.
Pro-democracy protests have riven Hong Kong, and divided its people, for more than five months.

Often a volunteer will respond and will e-mail you the photo and add it to the web site. Also the billiongraves organization lists a very large number of tombstone photographs. You can participate by taking photos of tombstones if you have a cell phone that has a camera in it.
Census[edit | edit source]
The 1890 census, except for the list of Civil War veterans or their widows, was destroyed by a fire in Washington, D. C. in 1921. One help for 1890 is the Town and City Atlas of the State of New Hampshire, published in 1892 in Boston by the D. H. Hurd Company. The atlas has maps for almost every city, town, and village in New Hampshire. The maps show the locations of homes, and the map gives the name of the person living in the home. The above web site is from the University of New Hampshire Library. Not all of the website map images have legible home owner names.
Note: the 1890 census veterans' schedules for New Hampshire were preserved. They are available at familysearch.org, and ancestry.com, also on microfilms from the Family History Library. You can search for veterans' names or their widows' names.
Church[edit | edit source]
If you know the name of the town or city, and the denomination, you may wish to contact the Dartmouth College Library, in Hanover, New Hampshire. They may be able to send you the names and addresses of churches of that denomination for the town.
Or, if you know the town of residence and the ancestor's denomination, go to the New Hampshire wiki article and see the Church Records section in the general information for New Hampshire. That section lists archives and other record keepers for the various religious denominations.
If you do not know the denomination, search for a marriage record. This may give the name of the minister. Then you can contact a historical society and learn at which church he was the minister. Also search for an obituary, which may mention the church the person attended. The death certificate may list the name of the cemetery. You can then write to the cemetery and ask if it is affiliated with a local church. The death certificate may mention the funeral home. Their file may have the name of the church, cemetery, or a copy of the obituary. Also, relatives might know the denomination.
Different churches contain a variety of types of records. Many churches keep baptism, marriage, and burial records. Sometimes birth and death information is included. The church records of brothers and sisters, etc. may give clues.

Court[edit | edit source]
On 1 July 2011, the New Hampshire legislature merged the District Court, Probate Court and Family Division Court into one Circuit Court system to improve the court system and to improve services. Jurisdictions for the Circuit Court are the same as their prior jurisdictions. There are now ten (10) circuit courts, one for each of the states counties. Some of the largest counties have more than one circuit court clerk assigned to manage divisions in more than one city or town. The locations of the district, family, and probate divisions are listed by county and/or town at: New Hampshire Judicial Branch.
Grafton County court records began in 1773. The county courthouse is at 3785 Dartmouth College Hwy., North Haverill, NH 03774. Many of the court records for 1773-1899 are now at the New Hampshire State Archives. The following Internet site gives a list of the principal current-day court records about living people: Records . There is a fee to obtain the reports.
Hamilton Child's Gazetteer of Grafton County, New Hampshire, published in 1886, is found at Archive.org. You can type in a surname, or a place name, and search the gazetteer.

Learn Emotional Intelligence from a Clever Horse
Meet ‘Clever Hans’: A horse that performed arithmetic and intellectual tasks on the level of a third-grader.
“He can do almost everything but talk,” reported the New York Times in 1911.
In his book ‘Subliminal,’ theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow explains how:
Hans learned to respond to his master’s questions by stamping his right hoof. The New York Times reporter described how, on one occasion, Hans was told to stamp once for gold, twice for silver, and three times for copper, and then correctly identified coins made from those metals. He identified colored hats in an analogous manner. Using the sign language of hoof taps, he could also tell time; identify the month and the day of the week; indicate the number of 4’s in 8, 16, and 32; add 5 and 9; and even indicate the remainder when 7 was divided by 3. Sometimes, he could answer his master’s questions even if not verbalized. By the time the reporter witnessed this display, Hans had become a celebrity.
A psychologist named Oskar Pfungst decided to investigate. He discovered that the horse could answer questions posed by people other than his master, but only if the questioners knew the answer, and only if they were visible to Hans during the hoof tapping.
Pfungst eventually found that the key to the horse’s feats lay in involuntary and unconscious cues displayed by the questioner. As soon as a problem was posed, the questioner would involuntarily and almost imperceptibly bend forward, which prompted Hans to begin tapping. Then, as the correct answer was reached, another slight bit of body language would signal Hans to stop.
Social Cues
Scientists, Mlodinow ads, attach great importance to the human capacity for spoken language. But we also have a parallel track of nonverbal communication, and those messages may reveal more than our carefully chosen words and sometimes be at odds with them. Nonverbal communication forms a social language that is in many ways richer and more fundamental that our words.
One recent study, for example, found that when trained properly, a wolf can respond to human nonverbal signals. Like us, wolves are highly social animals, and one reason they can respond to nonverbal cues from humans is that they have a rich repertoire of such signals within their own community.
In ‘The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals,’ Charles Darwin argued that emotions — and the ways they are expressed — are not unique to humans and provide a survival advantage.
Consider, for example, a smile — an expression we share with other primates. If a submissive monkey wants to check out a dominant one, it will bare its teeth as a peace signal.
“In monkey talk, says Mlodinow, “bared teeth mean I don’t plan to attack, so please don’t attack me first. In chimpanzees, the smile can go the other way — a dominant individual may smile at the submissive one, saying, don’t worry, I’m not going to attack you.”
You might think a smile is a rather shoddy barometer of true feelings. After all, anyone can fake one. But our facial expressions are expressed subliminally by muscles over which we have no conscious control. Our real emotions and signal expressions cannot be faked.
A genuine smile involves contraction of specific muscles which pull the skin surrounding the eye toward the eyeball causing an effect that looks like crow’s-feet but can be very subtle.
Learning to read these subtle cues is fundamental to social interaction and the development of empathy: the cornerstone of emotional intelligence.
There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect. — G.K. Chesterton
In ‘Figuring,’ a sublime book by Maria Popova, she explains that the word empathy came into popular use in the early twentieth century through the gateway of art, to describe the imaginative act of projecting oneself into a painting in an effort to understand why art moves us.
But if we don’t expose ourselves to a painting, we cannot project our emotions onto the canvas and intuit the subtlety of the artist’s intention and resulting effect in our feeling bodies.
Likewise, now that our social interactions are increasingly mediated by social media and text messages, our capacity to read subtle cues broadcast by body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions is atrophying. An emoticon, no matter how clever or cute, just doesn’t cut it, which might explain the growing level of societal discord and strife.
Just think of the last time one of your text messages was completely misunderstood by its recipient.
While this modern-day scourge affects both old and young alike, my current work and concern is with our boys.
Much like shielding boys from danger inhibits their ability to effectively overcome obstacles and navigate the world, allowing them to mediate their human interactions through technology prevents them from developing strong social-emotional intelligence.
Social-emotional agnosia
Also known as expressive agnosia, social-emotional agnosia is the inability to perceive facial expressions, body language, and voice intonation in social situations. People with this form of agnosia have difficulty determining and identifying the motivational and emotional significance of external social events. In other words, they can’t relate. Social-emotional agnosia often occurs in individuals with schizophrenia and autism.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 68 children in the U.S. have autism. The prevalence is 1 in 42 for boys and 1 in 189 for girls. These rates yield a gender ratio of about five boys for every girl. The latest estimate of autism prevalence is up 30 percent from the rate reported in 2008, and more than double the rate in 2000. — Scientific American.
Children’s social skills may be declining as they have less time for face-to-face interaction due to their increased use of digital media, according to a UCLA study.
UCLA scientists found that sixth-graders who went five days without glancing at a smartphone, television or other digital screen did substantially better at reading human emotions than sixth-graders from the same school who continued to spend hours each day looking at their electronic devices.
“You can’t learn nonverbal emotional cues from a screen in the way you can learn it from face-to-face communication,” said lead author Yalda Uhls, a senior researcher with the UCLA’s Children’s Digital Media Center. “If you’re not practicing face-to-face communication, you could be losing important social skills.”
Another UCLA study linked technology with a decline in critical thinking and analysis.
As I explain to boys in Chapter 2 of my current book, our male brains are wired to transmit our emotions more quickly to our physical bodies. As a result, we are more impulsive. We act quickly to solve immediate problems. We express our emotions by moving; we hit a desk when angry or run when stressed. That’s the reason men express love with less words and more physical action. We are also less empathetic than females… less sensitive to other people’s feelings, pain, and suffering.
The only way Clever Hans was able to answer questions was while being face-to-face with the questioner.
The only way boys will develop positive social skills is by removing the screens which shield them from direct human interaction and send them out into the world.
This, no doubt, will help them become as emotionally-intelligent as a horse.

Rare Hua Moa Banana-Plantain in the House
August 27, 2010 September 1, 2010 / Jackie Sayet / 6 Comments
A ripe Hua Moa (naked and mashed above) is custard-like. Michael and Hedy say it tastes like banana cream pie.
Perched on the food bar today is a stalk of Hua Moa, a rare banana-plantain cross brought to South Florida from the Pacific Islands in 1960 by William F. Whitman Jr., a self-taught horticulturist who became renowned for collecting rare tropical fruits from around the world and popularizing them in the United States. The sample is courtesy of Slow Food Miami’s Donna Reno and Noel Ramos, who hooked us up with Larry Siegel, a Brooklyn-born fruit tree grower in Davie, FL.
“I lived in Brazil for a while and liked exotic fruits,” he explains. “I started with lychee, cherimoyas, longans, avocados… They took a big hit during hurricanes Irene and Wilma. Coconut, papaya, and bananas always hang on!”
Siegel’s been at it since 1996, and his 35 acres are divided into rows that intermix the different tree varieties, alternating coconut, then banana, then coconut, etc. It’s a technique that benefits both, promoting good growth and taste.
Hua Moa was originally from southeast Asia but was carried to the South Pacific in canoes and rafts to the Marquesas Islands and then on to Hawaii. It’s now cultivated in South Dade by a handful of small growers like Siegel. It is the only place in the continental United States where they are found. Slow Food Miami is co-nominating the Hua Moa with Slow Food Hawaii for Slow Food USA’s Ark of Taste, a catalog of over 200 delicious foods in danger of extinction. Read more about the Hua Moa below, and the Ark of Taste here.

Decompiled SLocker Android Ransomware Source Code Published Online
July 24, 2017Swati Khandelwal
Bad news for Android users — Decompiled source code of for one of the oldest mobile and popular Android ransomware families has been published online, making it available for cyber criminals who can use it to develop more customised and advanced variants of Android ransomware.
Decompiled source code for the SLocker android ransomware, which saw a six-fold increase in the number of new versions over the past six months, has just been published on GitHub and is now available to anyone who wants it.
The SLocker source code has been published by a user who uses 'fs0c1ety' as an online moniker and is urging all GitHub users to contribute to the code and submit bug reports.
SLocker or Simple Locker is mobile lock screen and file-encrypting ransomware that encrypts files on the phone and uses the Tor for command and control (C&C) communication. The malware also posed as law enforcement agencies to convince victims into paying the ransom.
Famous for infecting thousands of Android devices in 2016, security researchers discovered more than 400 new variants of SLocker ransomware in the wild in May, and just after a month, the nasty Android ransomware was spotted copying the GUI of WannaCry.
Once infected, SLocker runs silently in the background of a victim's device without their knowledge or consent and encrypts images, documents and videos on mobile devices.
Once it has encrypted files on the device, the Android ransomware hijacks the phone, blocking its user access completely, and attempts to threaten the victim into paying a ransom to unlock it.
Being in action from 2015, SLocker stands out as one of the first ransomware samples to encrypt Android files. The malware has modified beyond just locking screens and demanding payment to taking over administrative rights and controlling the device's microphone, speakers, and the camera.
And now since the source code of this nasty Android ransomware has been released online on GitHub, Android devices are most likely to receive an increasing number of ransomware attacks in upcoming days.
The leaked source code would be a golden opportunity for those who always look for such opportunities as these kinds of malware programs are only offered for sale in underground forums, but SLocker is now accessible to cybercriminals and fraudsters for FREE.
Earlier this year, researchers discovered a variant of BankBot banking trojan in the wild which was developed using the leaked source code for the malware on an underground hacking forum.
Last year, the source code for the MazarBot (improved version of GM Bot) was also leaked online by its author in order to gain reputation on an underground forum.
As I previously mentioned, users are always advised to follow some basic precautions in order to protect themselves against such threats:
Never open email attachments from unknown sources.
Never click on links in SMS or MMS messages.
Even if the email looks legit from some company, go directly to the source website and verify any possible updates.
Go to Settings → Security, and Turn OFF "Allow installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store."
Always keep your Android devices, apps and Antivirus app up-to-date.
Avoid unknown and unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots and keep Wi-Fi switched off when not in use.

Golden aspen leaves fluttering in the wind. Water flowing across a granite rock bed. A crystal clear mountain lake reflecting a pure blue sky. The moment of totality during a solar eclipse. Refining these moments in nature down to their core, artist Sarah Winkler then amplifies them in her bold abstract paintings.
Together Forever, We Rise, acrylic on wood panel, 40″ x 40″
Winkler’s abstract landscapes offer a contemporary viewpoint of the Western landscape. Her approach to pictorial space references the tradition of American landscape painting, echoing the expansiveness of paintings by artists like Albert Bierstadt. She distills the essence of a landscape’s qualities, or, as she describes it, “Getting down to the basic properties of landscape– that’s what I am trying to simulate.” Though at first glance her pieces appear simplified, they could not be less so; a sophisticated creative process builds intriguing geological textures and layers into each work.
“Disposable experiments” with ink on duralar to echo the effect of light reflecting through aspen trees.
Winkler’s extensive library of experiments are kept in flat files in her studio.
Winkler’s process begins with what she describes as “disposable experiments.” Ink and acrylic are manipulated on Mylar and Duralar surfaces with alcohol and solvents to simulate the natural patterns she observes in the environment. She pushes her medium to the limit, translating the spontaneity of paint into the processes and effects of erosion, accretion and reflection. These patterns are then scanned into the computer and printed as special paper, which she collages on small panels to build the composition. Once the landscape’s design is finalized, she draws it onto large-scale wood panels and hand paints each section individually.
The Western landscape and its grand vistas of mountains, mesas, and rock formations serve as her primary content, but she also looks further afield to European environments. Current work explores the landscapes of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Italy and Iceland.
Detail of a recent painting inspired by the Great American Solar Eclipse. Soft, muted grays are tinged with flashes of color to enliven the largely monochromatic palette.
A recent trip to view totality during the Great American Solar Eclipse in Wyoming serves as the subject matter for her latest body of work. Based on her perception of color during the moment of totality, these mostly black and white monochromatic Wyoming landscapes are infused with flashes of color, including yellows, pale blues and greens, browns, and soft pinks. Winkler challenged herself to create depth and warmth in the textures and color palette of each piece. “From the eclipse I learned how to desaturate, but the color is still there,” she says. “I use a million grays, mixing up or down. ” Bold contrasts of light and dark shapes are balanced by the subtle hues within her multitude of grays.
Nestled in a stunning mountain valley near Morrison, CO, Winkler’s home studio overlooks the same grand vistas that inspire her work. An avid hiker, she exhibits throughout the Western United States. Her July 2018 solo exhibition at K Contemporary in Denver will feature her Great American Solar Eclipse paintings in three stages- first contact, totality, and third contact.

Patience Jonathan’s $15.5m: Court affirms Ozekhome as convicted companies’ counsel
in News, News Update
The Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday held that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Chief Mike Ozekhome was validly appointed to represent four companies that pleaded guilty to laundering $15.5million allegedly belonging to former First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan.
Justice Babs Kuewumi held that another lawyer, Luke Aghanenu, who claimed to have been appointed by the companies’ directors, was not properly briefed.
The companies are: Pluto Property and Investment Company Ltd, Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Ltd, Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Ltd and Avalon Global Property Development Ltd.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned them with a former Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs to President Jonathan, Waripamo Dudafa, a lawyer Amajuoyi Briggs, who is the companies’ secretary, and a banker, Adedamola Bolodeoku.
Unlike the companies, Dudafa, Briggs and Bolodeoku pleaded not guilty to the 17-count charge.
Aghanenu had filed a motion for change of counsel, praying the court to hold that he was validly appointed by the companies’ directors to represent them, not Ozekhome.
But, Ozekhome urged the court to dismiss the application for change of counsel, arguing that he was authorised to act as the companies’ counsel through a letter by Briggs.
Ruling, Justice Kuewumi held that if the companies wanted to change the counsel that was appointed by their secretary, it ought to be by board resolution.
He said there was no such resolution before him, and that the individual hand-written letters by the companies’ directors fell short of the minimum requirement.
“The fourth to seventh defendants are limited liability companies. If they are to change counsel, it should be by way of board resolution,” he said.
Besides, Justice Kuewumi noted that he had earlier ruled on the issue when there was a dispute on representation, in which he recognised Ozekhome as the authorised counsel.
“Until that decision is appealed against, this application is bound to fail. Same is hereby dismissed,” the judge held.
During hearing of the application, Ozekhome and EFCC’s lawyer Rotimi Oyedepo had clashed when Oyedepo said he was not opposed to the application for change of counsel.
Ozekhome had accused EFCC of trying to determine which lawyer would represent the companies, adding that the prosecution ought not be interested in who represented the companies.
He said: “Because we want to set aside the guilty plea of the companies, they arranged with the EFCC to change counsel. We’ll not allow that to happen. They’ll continue to contend with my face. It already show your interest, that you (EFCC) have an interest in who represents the defendant you’re prosecuting,”
But, Oyedepo described Ozekhome’s comments as prejudicial, saying they were unfair to him and EFCC.
“The allegation made by the learned SAN is totally unmeritorious. It is not in the interest of justice. It’s prejudicial to us. It’s unfortunate.
“This not the only case we are both involved in, so why would I not want to see his face? My prayer is that he should be busy, that people should contact and give him briefs,” he said.
Oyedepo said it was wrong for Ozekhome to “scandalise” him, but the SAN insisted that the EFCC had a preference for the lawyer who would represent the firms.
In an affidavit in support of Ozekhome’s motion, a lawyer in his firm, Chimaobi Onuigbo, said the companies’ representatives who pleaded guilty to money laundering (Friday Davis, Agbo Baro, Dioghowori Fredrick and Taiwo Ebenezer) had earlier refused to accept service of processes in a suit by Mrs Jonathan against EFCC and others pending before Justice Mohammed Idris of the same court.
The deponent noted that Justice Idris had directed parties to serve Briggs with the process since he was on record as the Companies’ Secretary.
Ozekhome said when Briggs was served with the processes, he instructed him to defend the companies.
“I was briefed not just on this matter but on the other matters involving the companies, even on appeal. They want an unknown entity to displace me. It is infra dignitatem (beneath dignity), abominable,” he said.
But, Oyedepo said the court had earlier recognised the companies’ individual representatives, who he said had the right to appoint their counsel.
After recognising Ozekhome, Justice Kuewumi adjourned till May 2 for hearing of other pending applications.

Nigeria suspends its national carrier project two months after unveiling name and logo
Niyi Aderibigbe
Sep. 19 2018, 11:20 pm Sep. 27 2018, 2:16 pm
The Nigerian government has suspended its highly celebrated national carrier Nigeria Air which it planned to launch later this year. No reason was given for the decision.
“I regret to announce that the Federal Executive Council has taken the tough decision to suspend the National Carrier Project in the interim. All commitments due will be honoured. We thank the public for the support as always,” Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika said.
The launch of Nigeria Air was opposed by many Nigerians who claimed it was a political decision. Rightly so, Sirika said in London when the name of the planned national carrier was unveiled that it was done to fulfill “…the campaign promise made by our President, Muhammadu Buhari, in 2015″. He said the government planned to launch Nigeria Air by the end of 2018.
“We obtained the certificate of compliance from the Nigerian Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) two weeks ago and can now go into the investor search,” Sirika said in London.
Local news platform Premium Times, whose investigation and persistence led to the recent resignation of former Nigerian Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun, said the suspension of Nigeria Air happened because the Economic Management Team (EMT) did not approve it when it before it was unveiled in July. Citing presidential villa sources, the news platform reported that the recommendation of the EMT chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was that the Nigerian government should not set up a national carrier with public funds.
Ahead of the unveiling of Nigeria Air, the Nigerian government said the national carrier would need an initial of $300 million for take-off, but first a preliminary cost of $8.8 million. According to Nigeria’s Vanguard Newspaper, the plan was to start the airline with five aircraft.
“We intend to get a 30 aircraft market in 5 years. But we will begin with 5 aircraft on the day of launch. Government would step in to cover the funding gap at the onset and ease out thereafter,” the newspaper quoted an insider to have said.
While the plan was to make the carrier private sector-driven, the Nigerian government was supposed to fund takeoff.
Until Sirika’s announcement on Wednesday evening, everything seemed to be going as planned, with top entities such as Africa’s most profitable airline Ethiopian Airlines submitting tenders. However, recent increase in demand for forex by portfolio investors who are exiting en masse ahead of Nigeria’s 2019 election has put any forex-related project that does not require urgency, in doubt for the foreseeable future.
Before Nigeria Air was unveiled, former Education Minister Oby Ezekwesili was one of the Nigerians that were vocal about their disapproval of the project. She prayed that it failed for the country’s sake.
“For the sake of the country, it must fail,” she tweeted in March, adding that it was “clearly a wrong priority” and “a waste”.
A ‘National Airline’ which disclosed details raise more questions than they answer.

What is the Push Factor for FG HASTE in RUSHING a ‘Deal’ it has NOT FOUND the rest 95% “owners”?

The announcement of the suspension is coming barely a week after Nigerian airline Air Peace made public its order of 10 new Boeing 737 MAX 8 Airplanes as it continues its impressive growth. Many have argued that instead of starting a flag carrier from scratch, an existing, well-run private airline such as Air Peace could have been considered to be the national carrier. It is not strange for governments across the world to appoint a flag carrier from the existing airlines in their countries. Bulgaria Air, Australia’s Qantas, Belgium’s Brussels Airlines, Air Canada, LATAM Chile, Colombia’s Avianca, Czech Airlines, São Tomé and Príncipe’s STP Airways, Air Seychelles and British Airways are all privately-held companies, but they are also national carriers. In 2011, Sierra Leone adopted Nigeria’s Arik Air as its national carrier. There is no indication that this has changed.

Practice Report | December 2nd
Written by: Mitch Peacock | Photo: Zachary Peters
The Winnipeg ICE seemed to have a little extra hop in their step at this morning’s practice at The RINK Training Centre.
The local Western Hockey League team returned to work in good spirits after a thrilling win in their first home game in three weeks, a 6-5 nail-biter over the Brandon Wheat Kings Saturday night at the ICE Cave inside Wayne Fleming Arena.
CANADA CALLING
Adding to the good vibes was some good news for captain Peyton Krebs.
The smooth playmaker was named one of 31 players invited to Hockey Canada’s National Junior Team selection camp slated for December 9-12 in Oakville, ON ahead of the upcoming World Junior Championship in the Czech Republic.
Krebs, who has five points in five games since the start of his season was delayed due to injury, captained Canada’s entry to a fourth-place finish at the 2019 IIHF World u-18 Championship in Sweden last spring.
PERSISTENCE PAYS
Back to that boost from the weekend, the ICE finished off a busy November with two points against their arch-rivals from Westman with alternate captain Jakin Smallwood scoring the game-winner.
Smallwood has turned steady, hard-working play into goals of late. The Leduc, AB product has scored three times in the last four games but is thinking about the team first.
“It’s awesome to get home and play a team like Brandon, you know our arch-rivalry. It’s nice to have a win there,” said Jakin after today’s fast-paced 75 minute skate. “We battled hard throughout the whole game, and even in the second period we had guys down, a lot of scraps, we stuck with it throughout the game and we ultimately came out with the win so we’re happy with that.”
When pressed for a reason behind his recent offensive contributions, Smallwood pointed to sticking with it.
“I think I’m just starting to get some bounces, some pucks are finally starting to go in. I’m just starting to crash the net, I think that’s helping a lot, just sticking around the net and getting second and third chances.”
CROWD PROVIDES BOOST
There was something special in the air at the ICE Cave Saturday night as the the club celebrated minor hockey by wearing St. Vital Minor Hockey jerseys before a packed house.
“The atmosphere was awesome,” said a beaming Smallwood. “You know having a home atmosphere like that, it’s good for the home team just to stick with it and it was loud and I’m looking forward to the rest of the home games.”
The victory was the fourth in-a-row at home for Winnipeg and gave the team a 7-6-0-0 record for November, including 4-and-1 on the University of Manitoba campus.
BRONCOS UP NEXT
That hectic November behind them, it’s game two of a five-game homestand that matters now which means a visit by the Swift Current Broncos Wednesday.
“Swift Current, they’re just a hard-working team,” said Jakin likely thinking back to a couple of grinding wins against the Broncos this season. “They’re nitty-gritty, so I think we just got to balance that by also working hard, staying consistent, playing our game, holding onto pucks, spinning off guys and just battling hard throughout the whole game.”
The ICE and Broncos square off Wednesday, December 4th at 7:30 p.m. at the ICE Cave inside Wayne Fleming Arena.

Quotations about pain
The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
Henry Miller (1891-1980) American novelist
Sexus, ch. 14 (1949)
Topics: avoidance, life, pain, protection, security, suffering, trouble
More quotes by Miller, Henry
There are few of us who are not protected from the keenest pain by our inability to see what it is that we have done, what we are suffering, and what we truly are. Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearances only.
Samuel Butler (1835-1902) English novelist, satirist, scholar
Erewhon, ch. 3 “Up the River” (1872)
Topics: blindness, guilt, ignorance, illusion, pain, perspective, reality, regret, truth
More quotes by Butler, Samuel
We have all heard enough to fill a book about Dr. Johnson’s incivilities. I wish they would compile another book consisting of Dr. Johnson’s apologies. There is no better test of a man’s ultimate chivalry and integrity than how he behaves when he is wrong; and Johnson behaved very well. He understood (what so many faultlessly polite people do not understand) that a stiff apology is a second insult. He understood that the injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) English journalist and writer
“The Real Dr. Johnson,” The Common Man (1950)
Topics: apology, compassion, emotion, humility, injury, pain

Hearts in Atlantis (1999)
Topics: anguish, broken heart, emotion, heart, pain, passion
More quotes by King, Stephen
A stranger to human nature, who saw the indifference of men about the misery of their inferiors, and the regret and indignation which they feel for the misfortunes and sufferings of those above them, would be apt to imagine that pain must be more agonizing, and the convulsions of death more terrible, to people of higher rank than to those of meaner stations.

Topics: adversity, composure, pain, philosopher, philosophy, present, trouble
More quotes by La Rochefoucauld, Francois
I believe that the present suffering is nothing compared to the coming glory that is going to be revealed to us. The whole creation waits breathless with anticipation for the revelation of God’s sons and daughters. Creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice — it was the choice of the one who subjected it — but in the hope that the creation itself will be set free from slavery to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of God’s children. We know that the whole creation is groaning together and suffering labor pains up until now. And it’s not only the creation. We ourselves who have the Spirit as the first crop of the harvest also groan inside as we wait to be adopted and for our bodies to be set free. We were saved in hope. If we see what we hope for, that isn’t hope. Who hopes for what they already see? But if we hope for what we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
The Bible (14th C BC - 2nd C AD) Christian sacred scripture
Topics: creation, faith, future, hope, pain, promise, reward, salvation, suffering
More quotes by Bible
No sacrifice is worth the name unless it is a joy. Sacrifice and a long face go ill together.

Perhaps the worst thing about suffering is that it finally hardens the hearts of those around it.

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, “Ruth’s Song” (1983)
Topics: background, compassion, harden, innure, normal, pain, suffering
More quotes by Steinem, Gloria
Pain is a byproduct of life. That’s the truth. Life sometimes sucks. That’s true for everyone. But if you don’t face the pain and the suck, you don’t ever get the other things either. Laughter. Joy. Love. Pain passes, but those things are worth fighting for. Worth dying for.
Jim Butcher (b. 1971) American author
Often cited to the short story "Vignette" (also known as "Publicity and Advertising"), but not found there.

More quotes by Butcher, Jim
Body or mind, heart or soul, we’re all human, and we’re supposed to feel pain. You cut yourself off from it at your own risk.

The pain passes, but the beauty remains.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) French Impressionist artist
(Attributed, 1919)
Quoted in Sisley Huddleston, Paris Salons, Cafés, Studios (1928). When asked by a young Henri Matisse why he still painted when suffering from painful, twisting arthritis in his hands.
Topics: art, artist, creation, pain
More quotes by Renoir, Pierre-Auguste
Quite often, people who mean well will inquire of me whether I ever ask myself, in the face of my diseases, “Why me?” I never do. If I ask “Why me?” as I am assaulted by heart disease and AIDS, I must ask “Why me?” about my blessings, and question my right to enjoy them. The morning after I won Wimbledon in 1975 I should have asked “Why me?” and doubted that I deserved the victory. If I don’t ask “Why me?” after my victories, I cannot ask “Why me?” after my setbacks and disasters.
Arthur Ashe (1943-1993) American athlete
Days of Grace, ch. 10 (1993)
Often paraphrased (or used elsewhere by Ashe) as "If I were to say 'God, why me?' about the bad things, then I should have said 'God, why me?' about the good things that happened in my life."

Morality turns on whether the pleasure precedes or follows the pain. Thus it is immoral to get drunk because the headache comes after the drinking. But if the headache came first and the drunkenness afterwards, it would be moral to get drunk.

Zeus, who guided mortals to be wise,
has established his fixed law —
wisdom comes through suffering.
Trouble, with its memories of pain,
drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,
so men against their will
learn to practice moderation.
Favours come to us from gods
seated on their solemn thrones —
such grace is harsh and violent.
τὸν φρονεῖν βροτοὺς ὁδώ-
σαντα, τὸν [πάθει μάθος]
θέντα κυρίως ἔχειν.
στάζει δ’ ἀνθ’ ὕπνου πρὸ καρδίας
μνησιπήμων πόνος· καὶ παρ’ ἄ-
κοντας ἦλθε σωφρονεῖν.
δαιμόνων δέ που χάρις βίαιος
σέλμα σεμνὸν ἡμένων.
Aeschylus (525-456 BC) Greek dramatist (Æschylus)
Agamemnon, ll. 175-183 [tr. Johnston (2007)]
[Hamilton (1930)]: "God, whose law it is that he who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despite, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God."
[Hamilton (1937)]: "Guide of mortal man to wisdom, he who has ordained a law, knowledge won through suffering. Drop, drop -- in our sleep, upon the heart sorrow falls, memory’s pain, and to us, though against our very will, even in our own despite, comes wisdom by the awful grace of God."
The first alternate was used, slightly modified, by Robert Kennedy in his speech on the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. (4 Apr 1968). Kennedy's family used it as an epitaph on his grave Arlington National Cemetery: "Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom, through the awful grace of God."
