__label__cc	0.532201	0.467799	Big Positive News Flow for Stock Market in Next 90 DAYS - Finance Ministry Source REFORMS PIPELINE * ECBs: Foreign borrowing norms likely to be liberalised * PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENTS: Global income of India-based establishments might not be taxed * DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS: Unlisted companies’ sale of receipts against debt could be allowed * CAPITAL CONTROLS: Outward remittance limit might be restored to $200,000 from $75,000 at present * EUROCLEAR: To enable cross-border settlement of locally-issued government bonds * ROAD SHOWS: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to sell the India story in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, New York * RETAIL PARTICIPATION: Tax sops to encourage retail investors’ participation in equityThe finance ministry is set to push through major reforms in equity and debt markets to be implemented in the next three months. According to the plan, the foreign borrowing norms are to be liberalised and the capital controls imposed by the Reserve Bank of India last year rolled back. The ministry is also considering replacing short-term capital gains tax with a higher securities transaction tax (STT). While tax incentives are being considered for retail investors and permanent establishments managing global funds in India, measures are in the offing to deepen corporate bond markets, strengthen retail participation in equities, comprehensively revamp depository receipts and join Euroclear, the world’s largest securities settlement system. To sell the Indian reform story to foreign investors, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is planning to go to London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and New York for road shows. “We are looking at a three-month time-frame to roll out many of these measures. Some that require legislative amendment might come in the Union Budget. The restrictions imposed by RBI in July last year will also be lifted,” a finance ministry official, asking not to be named Budget measures might include abolishing short-term capital gains tax and, instead, levying a higher securities transaction tax (as suggested by the Parthasarathi Shome committee), exempting global income of India-based permanent establishments from tax, and offering tax sops to encourage retail investors’ participation in equity markets. The finance ministry wants to take measures to boost investments by domestic players, especially the retail ones, as the market rally in recent times has mainly been driven by inflows from foreign investors. “Participation of retail investors is a big concern. We have to push this in a big way,” another official said. The ministry will also try to widen the scope of both American and global depository receipts (DRs). Currently, only listed companies are allowed to sell DRs (that too only against underlying equity shares). The M S Sahoo committee had proposed DRs for debt and unlisted companies as well. These would give easy access to foreign investors who don’t wish to invest directly in Indian companies. The finance ministry also wants to relax the external commercial borrowing (ECB) norms and enable companies to fully hedge against foreign currencies. “We want to let borrowers decide how much they want to raise. If you hedge it, the cost of borrowing goes up. So, naturally, they will be cautious,” said the second official quoted earlier. Experts said ECBs should, in fact, be liberalised generally, with control only for certain sectors. “Refinancing of ECBs should be allowed on a wholesale basis. They should ease end-use of ECBs because international markets provide cheaper funds. Its use should be expanded significantly, while there should be control for certain sectors,” said Abizer Diwanji, partner and national leader (financial services), EY. In a step towards internationalising debt, the government is also planning to join Brussels-based Euroclear bank. This will facilitate cross-border settlement of locally-issued government bonds. Officials said this would bring down borrowing cost for Indian companies. The ministry is getting legal opinion on whether this would require amendment to the Sebi Act. It is awaiting a formal view from RBI on the issue. The government is also trying to liberalise the rupee-denominated corporate bond market. So far, its efforts to deepen this have yielded little result. “If banks are ready to lend at cheaper rates, who would go for corporate bonds? Unlike the US, our economy is dependent on bank debt,” the official explained. Labels: NEWS - India	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3413
__label__wiki	0.627494	0.627494	By Francisco Zamudio It’s unusual for a band to go through a serious and dramatic change, especially a tragic one, and maintain their same sense of style. I’ll give you a minute to think of one…. none really come to mind. The realization that their identity has now changed, for better or worse, is all a matter of opinion. The Metallicas or Maidens, AC/DCs, Sepulturas – and the list goes on. Add to that list Polish extreme metal band, Decapitated who are set to release their 7th album ‘Anticult’ through Nuclear Blast. This marks the third attempt to rejuvenate the derailed group in nearly a decade. Upon first listen, I had to look twice to make sure I played the right album. The opening track ‘Impulse’ felt really out-of-character for me, as a fan. A couple of twenty-second blips of blast beats could barely keep me tuned in. In comes the breakdown metalcore sound they’ve adapted into more their style now. A lot if not all of the songs sound a lot less like the old Decapitated we used to know, and much more like various other commercially successful, and no-longer-underground bands. The weak argument of “maturing” set aside, when you’ve frequently listened to ‘Winds of Creation’, ‘Nihility’, ‘The Negation’ and ‘Organic Hallucinosis’ – you can easily distinguish the two different entities of what was and what is Decapitated now. The intro segment of ‘Deathvaluation’ might perk the ears of mathcore fans, until the faster 1-2 punch speed metal kicks in, but changes back again to that modern metalcore / new wave of American heavy metal style which I can’t wrap my head around. It’s things like this that makes me more in the mood to listen to those types of bands, instead of a band that’s changed its style to fit a more commercial mould. For nearly the first minute of the third track, I almost breathe a sigh of relief as there was teased the old Decapitated sound. But again I was taken for a loop. Here again they try to sound like another band, a variation of that one successful industrial death metal band. If this wasn’t labeled as Decapitated, it would be more palatable. I’d describe them as another band, trying to fit into various molds and genres, and cramming them into each song. Somewhere through the nu-metal, metal-core grooves and break-downs and even some “djent”, they manage to squeeze in some death metal and some blast beats in nearly every other song. This era of Decapitated is not as abrasive as before and is more catered to a wider audience. Unfortunately, ‘Anger Line’, the heaviest and most in tune to their old style, is also the shortest track on this release. This album is also rather short, with only 7 tracks, one being an instrumental outro, and in all just over a half-hour. ‘Anticult’ will be more up the alley for listeners who are not into the extreme side of metal, but crave something cool enough to say they are.

__label__wiki	0.842198	0.842198	Softball sweeps final day of Seven State Classic Bentonville, Ark. – The Missouri Southern softball team won their final two games of the Seven State Classic this afternoon defeating Ouachita Baptist (Ark.) 6-2 and Southern Nazarene (Okla.) 14-13. With the pair of victories, the Lions improve to 8-2 on the year and are off to their best start since 2001 when they began 16-0. Being the home team for the for time all weekend, starting pitcher Haley Pypes would surrender a lone run in the top of the first before the Lions would get on the board in the bottom of the inning and tag on three early runs. With centerfielder Alana Hesterand second baseman Brooke Swadley both grounding out to the shortstop, Shelby Romines would come up with two outs and drill her fourth home run of the year over the centerfield wall tying the game at one. First baseman Dawn Grass would follow Romines lead smacking her 17th career home run over the centerfield wall to give the Lions a 2-1 lead. That home run places Grass in sole possession of second place all-time in career home runs in Missouri Southern softball history. The Lions would add two more in the bottom of the fourth inning to make the game 5-1 as third baseman Brooklyn Farrell would leadoff the inning with a triple to right field and would proceed to score on a passed ball. With leftfielder Brooke Smith going down on strikes, centerfielder Alana Hester would reach base on a double. Advancing to third on a flyout by Swadley, Romines would plate Hester with a RBI single to left field. The Lions would add one more in the bottom of the fifth before the Eagles would add one in the top of the seventh to make the final 6-2. The Lions would collect ten hits, including six for extra-bases in their first game as Romines went 3-3 with the home run. Pypes would get credit with the win, her fourth of the year, as she pitched a c omplete game holding the Eagles to five hits, two runs while striking out seven. Playing Southern Nazarene shortly thereafter, the Lions would be in for a wild game as both teams would bring the bats early and often. The Lions would return to the visiting side in game two picking up four early runs on five hits in the top of the first. The Crimson Storm would answer right back scoring an early run on a sacrifice fly before drilling a three-run home run off of starter Haley Kinnison to notch the game at four at the end of one. The Lions would add five more runs in the top of the second batting around the order to take a 9-4 lead. The Lions would plate runs off a walk, sacrifice fly, single and a two-run RBI double to left center by Michala Wood. The Lions would continue to add to their lead in the top of the third adding three more runs, including Romines’ second home run of the day, fifth of the year, to take a commanding 12-4 lead. The Crimson Storm would not go down without a fight answering with five runs in the bottom of the third chasing Kinnison from the game. Hannah Cooke would come on in relief and strand the bases loaded. The Lions would keep a three-run lead with each team adding a run in the fourth, but Southern Nazarene would cut the lead to one in the bottom of the fifth as the Crimson Storm would drill a two-run home run to left field to make the game 13-12. With neither side touching the scoreboard in the sixth, the Lions would add a very imporant insurance run in top of the seventh as Hester would get her third hit of the afternoon singling to right field before stealing both second and third. Swadley would plate Hester with a single before being thrown out herself trying to extend the play to a double. Southern Nazarene would leadoff the bottom of the seventh with a solo home run, their fourth of the game, to close the gap to one (14-13), but that would be as close as they get as Sarah Williams would retire the final three batters to record her first career save. Six Lions would have two or more hits as the team combined for 15 in the game, including four for extra bases. The Lions’ 14 runs are the most ever for a Bill Gray coached Southern team and it is the first time Missouri Southern has scored that many runs since April 3, 2000 when the Lions defeated Bartlesville Wesleyan 15-0. Southern returns to action next Friday and Saturday when they play in the Central Oklahoma Tournament in Edmond, Okla. The Lions play Oklahoma Christian at 10 am and Cameron at 12:15 pm on Friday before wrapping up the weekend on Saturday playing West Texas A&M at 10 am and Southwest Minnesota State at 12:15 pm.

Mike Retasket (left) and James Hobart attended their first meeting as directors in Ashcroft on Oct. 19. Retasket is the new Director representing Tourism Associations while Hobart is the First Nations Director representing the Canyon region of the Hope to Barkerville corridor. Both directors have held the position of Chief Councillor of their First Nation. Retasket served for 10 years as Chief of the Bonaparte Indian Band. Hobart was Chief of the Spuzzum First Nation for four years. “It’s great to have two such outstanding new directors with such vast experience join the New Pathways to Gold Society board,” said NPTGS First Nations Co-chair Cheryl Chapman. “They’re already working hard to help make a difference in the communities along the Gold Rush/Spirit Trails.” Retasket is a champion for traditional knowledge and cultural-heritage values. He’s a storyteller, traditional pipe carrier, dancer, drummer and singer. He’s also an experienced negotiator who has developed MOU’s, protocols agreements and land and resource management plans. A founding member of B.C. First Nations Leadership Council, he’s served on several boards including the Fraser Basin Council, First Nations Emergency Service and First Nations Forestry Council. Hobart served two terms as the Chief Councillor for the Spuzzum First Nation and was also their CEO, managing budgets of over $1 million. He co-built the Nation’s first tax board, Negotiations Committee and land use management plan. He was appointed by his peers to the Chair of the Aboriginal Children and Family Chief’s Coalition and by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs as the Political Liaison to Comprehensive Claims Canada. He’s also an inventor who has successfully built prototypes and submitted three inventions into the ISC nationwide data base. Retasket and Hobart are no strangers to NPTGS. Both have worked with the Society on various projects in other capacities over the years. “Having worked with James on the Alexandra Bridge Project and Mike with all the work he’s done with Klahowya Village and elsewhere, it feels like a very good, familiar fit,” said NPTGS Co-chair Terry Raymond. The NPTGS board is balanced, with half of the Directors being First Nations representatives. There is also one designated Multicultural Director and two co-chairs, one of whom is First Nations. A non-profit organization, NPTGS is committed to developing local economies in the Hope to Barkerville corridor through heritage tourism development, First Nations reconciliation and Multiculturalism. The Society acknowledges the financial support of the B.C. government.

__label__wiki	0.619455	0.619455	Accelerating adoption of innovation in the NHS Accelerating adoption of innovation in the NHS: The report, Innovation Health and Wealth: accelerating adoption and diffusion in the NHS, published today, sets out a delivery agenda for spreading innovation at pace and scale throughout the NHS. The NHS is recognised as a world leader at invention, however sometimes the best ideas fail to achieve widespread use in the NHS as adoption has been slow. Now more than ever before, innovation has a vital role to play if it is to continue to improve outcomes for patients and deliver value for money. Innovation must be encouraged and nurtured. Designing and implementing change will need all parts of the health and social care system to plan and improve together. This report requires all NHS organisations to build the actions set out into their planning processes, for 2012/13. Innovations health and wealth letter from David Nicholson Innovation Health and Wealth: accelerating adoption and diffusion in the NHS Summary of call for evidence and ideas report Plan for Growth announcement(PDF 1.7Mb) UK Life Sciences Strategy(PDF 2Mb) UK life sciences get government cash boost Consultation on HIV positive healthcare workers launched Consultation on HIV positive healthcare workers launched: A consultation into relaxing the restrictions placed on the work that can be undertaken by HIV positive healthcare workers was launched today. This follows a review by a group of leading experts which jointly examined evidence around the risk of HIV transmission from healthcare workers with HIV to patients. The expert review The Expert Advisory Group on AIDS, the UK Advisory Panel of Healthcare Workers Infected with Bloodborne Viruses and the Advisory Group on Hepatitis found that there have been no reported transmissions of HIV from healthcare workers even though there have been investigations involving 10,000 patients who were tested for HIV. They also found that few other countries have such tight restrictions as the UK. Under the current system, healthcare workers diagnosed with HIV are not allowed to perform most surgical or dental procedures. These restrictions will remain in place until the outcome of the consultation is decided. The risk of HIV transmission The expert advisory groups concluded that the risk of HIV transmission from a healthcare worker who is undiagnosed and untreated is extremely low for the most invasive procedures such as open cardiac surgery. It is negligible from the least invasive procedures such as a local anaesthetic injection in dentistry. The risk of HIV infection to any patient having the most invasive type of exposure prone procedure – such as open cardiac surgery – has been estimated as about one in five million, which is a similar level of risk to being struck and killed by lightning. These risks can be reduced even further by effective antiretroviral drug therapy. Chief Medical Officer Professor Dame Sally Davies said: “Patient safety is always our top priority. Our knowledge and understanding and the treatment of HIV have all developed enormously over the last 25 years. It is right that we now consider our current guidelines to reflect what the science is telling us about the risk of HIV transmission from healthcare workers with HIV to patients. “There are currently around 110 healthcare workers with HIV in England who might be affected by the current restrictions. We need to ensure that the guidelines and restrictions imposed are evidence-based and achieve a fair balance between patient safety and the rights and responsibilities of healthcare workers with HIV. “This consultation will seek wide views on the expert advice and whether it should be accepted.” Views invited The consultation invites views from the medical community as well as the public on whether current restrictions should be maintained or how the expert group’s findings could be implemented effectively. The consultation runs until 9 March 2012.

__label__wiki	0.515594	0.515594	You are here: Home / Export Manual / Individual Countries / Taiwan Capital: Taipei Currency: New Taiwan Dollar Official Language(s): Mandarin Chinese Taiwan has included cherries, along with apples and pears, as part of the “pome” crop classification for pesticide residues limits. Apple MRLs in Top Markets – updated December 20, 2019 Cherry MRLs in Top Markets – updated December 20, 2019 Taiwan sets its own maximum residue levels. Newer chemical compounds registered for use in the U.S. may not yet have an MRL in Taiwan. Provisional MRLs, based on U.S. MRLs, have been established for certain crops if a chemical’s registrant submitted a data package to Taiwan by October of 2000. Please see MRL table in Section I above for specific chemical information. Since this situation is not yet fully resolved, read table and footnotes carefully realizing that changes can occur and they are sometimes imperfectly communicated to Taiwan’s trading partners. The Taiwan authorities monitor chemical residues on imported fruits, including apples, pears, and cherries. Samples are tested using multiple residue analysis for approximately 200 chemicals. Imports of fruit and vegetables are subject to inspections for compliance with Taiwan’s pesticide, food safety and labeling requirements at the port of entry. Each fruit shipment will have a 2-10% chance of being sampled and tested upon arrival. Shipments are released for sale after the retrieval of samples and a document review. Noncompliance with Taiwan’s pesticide standards results in the recall of the unconsumed shipment product. Following the first violation for an importer, the rate of inspection increases to 20-50%. If the same company violates the pesticide standard a second time, then all shipments imported by this company will be subject to testing. The release of these shipments is not permitted until testing is completed. An importer may qualify for a reduced inspection rate if there are no additional violations following the testing of five consecutive shipments totaling three times the volume of the previous shipment(s) that violated the regulations. None, but authorities reserve the right to inspect fruit for the use of wax. Please refer to the Organic Trade Association’s Taiwan Export Manual for information on shipping organic product to Taiwan. USDA certified organic products exported to Taiwan must be accompanied by an organic transaction certificate (TM-11) that verifies that the product complies with the terms of the U.S.-Taiwan export arrangements. A list of certifying agents approved to issue TM-11 export certificates may be found at http://bit.ly/tm11acas. Apples 20% Pears 10% Cherries 7.5% Oriental pears are subject to a tariff rate quota with an in-quota duty of 18 percent. The tariff is CIF and initially assessed on the basis of a reference price. Periodically, the government of Taiwan establishes a Transaction Price (TP). The TP is used to determine the duty due from Taiwan importers for fruit shipped during the timeframe immediately preceding the TP determination. Any difference between the reference price and the TP will result in either an additional duty assessment or duty rebate from Customs to the importers. In addition to the tariffs, a 0.3 percent harbor construction fee is required for all imported and exported goods. Product name, grade, size, weight, and origin should be displayed on cartons. Import permits are required for apples. Permits are available to every importer who applies for them, but permits are only valid for six months. Foreign exchange is regulated by Central Bank, but controls should not affect normal commercial transactions. Apples inspected and certified under the Quarantine Requirements for the Importation of Fresh Apples from the United States (2019) are eligible for export to Taiwan. Packers are urged to select lots for export to Taiwan that are at low risk for detection of live larvae. These selections are best made through consultation with packinghouse field staff and/or the grower’s licensed pesticide consultant. As specified in the work plan, two codling moth interceptions upon arrival in Taiwan from an individual packer will result in the suspension of the packing facility for the remainder of the season. (Allowance is made if the additional interceptions occur within fourteen days of the first interception.) The entire export program will be suspended if three packing facilities are disqualified from export during a single season. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) must conduct an investigation. The suspension will be lifted after Taiwan reviews and approves the APHIS report. For a copy of the document needed to log packinghouse inspections, click on this document link. For a copy of the forms necessary to record the results of on-tree or field bin sampling, click on this document link. Apple shipments from all U.S. growers and packinghouses are subject to stringent inspection upon arrival. A phytosanitary certificate is required. Apples and pears: must be free from Cydia pomonella (codling moth), Conotrachelus nenuphar (plum curculio), Erwinia amylovora (fireblight), Frankliniella occidentalis (western flower thrips), Rhagoletis pomonella (apple maggot), and Anarsia lineatella (peach twig borer). On August 7, 2008, USDA/APHIS issued inspection guidelines concerning fruit decay in apples destined for export to Taiwan. Contact your local state inspection service official for more information. Cherries, peaches, and nectarines: must be free from codling moth, plum curculio, fireblight, western flower thrips and Anarsia lineatella (peach twig borer). Shipments transiting third counties or districts with quarantine concerns: Strict regulations apply to shipments that transit Vancouver, B.C. or other third countries en route to Taiwan. However, if a cargo is loaded in the U.S. and transits a third country en route to Taiwan but never leaves the aircraft or vessel in which it was originally loaded, the third country transit regulations do not apply. Phytosanitary Inspection Level in Taiwan: Upon arrival in Taiwan, ocean containers selected for inspection are inspected at the rate of six or more cartons per 1,000 cartons. All the fruit in a carton is looked at. Three cartons in the first 100 cartons are inspected; out of each additional 300 cartons, one carton is inspected. A minimum of two containers will be inspected on consignments of 10 containers or less. For every additional 10 containers in a consignment, at least one more container will be inspected. E. Trademark Registry: To protect and register a U.S. trademark in Taiwan, firms must work through Taiwan’s Trademark Office. Contact the Agricultural Trade Office for assistance. F. Solid Wood Packaging Material (SWPM) Regulations: Taiwan requires ISPM 15 SWPM regulations. Please refer to the SWPM section of the NHC’s Technical Bulletins and Industry Advice.

Williams In the Air by Kate Sweeney 16 June, 2015 by Dave Bonta - Leave a comment - Posted in Animation, Interviews Poet: C. K. Williams, Carolyn Forché, Gwyneth Lewis, Jackie Kay \| Nationality: U.K., United States \| Filmmaker: Kate Sweeney A unique poetry film: a hand-drawn animation of poets’ hands from interview snippets that can also be seen as a remix videopoem. Kate Sweeney explains in the Vimeo description: Created from short elliptical sequences taken from archived interviews with four Bloodaxe poets. I wanted to isolate the gestures used when explaining the poetic, the abstract thoughts they couldn’t express in words alone. Gesture is communication that is also a kind of drawing in the air. C.K Williams, in his interview with Ahren Warner, muses that “In a sense the final version of any work of art pretends to be an improvisation; even a painting. First the painter puts down the ground on the canvas or the wood then he puts down another layer of something then he begins to put the blocks in and then the last layer, little brush strokes, that look like improvisation”. The archive offers a window through to all those described layers. It tracks the process of producing a poem, a book and in a way, a poet. Inspired by my research in the archive, the animation includes the smudges, rips, mistakes and corrections, of the paper it was drawn on, revealing and incorporating the process into the final version.

__label__wiki	0.652057	0.652057	Get ready for the PanAm games multired Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival founder Lord March is today able to announce the provisional dates for next year’s two leading sell-out Goodwood motoring events. It should be noted that at this stage the 2014 Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival dates are provisional and remain subject to change, pending ratification by the FIA of the 2014 Formula 1 calendar in December. The 911 has been at the very heart of the Porsche brand for the past five decades. Few other sports cars in the world can look back on such a long tradition and continuity as the Porsche 911. It has been inspiring car enthusiasts the world over since its debut as the model 901 at the IAA International Automotive Show at Frankfurt in September 1963. Goodwood honoured the 50th anniversary of one of the world’s most versatile and popular sports cars – the Porsche 911 – at the Festival of Speed 2013. Today the truly versatile 911 is considered by its many devoted fans to be the quintessential sports car, and the central point of reference for all other Porsche series, as each of the marque’s other models carry a piece of the 911’s philosophy. The Track Action As well as wheel-to-wheel racing, the Members’ Meeting will also feature thrilling, high-speed track action from more modern eras of Formula 1, Le Mans and beyond – sights and sounds that have never been seen before at Goodwood Motor Circuit. The inaugural event in 2014 will celebrate the flame-spitting Formula 1 cars The three typical, Marshall-style controls for volume, bass, treble and a switch to flip on and off the Stan Mores, located on the top of the unit. Through the included 3.5mm spiral cable, which has the appearance of a typical guitar cable, virtually any music source to the powered speakers can be connected. 50 Years of Porsche The main ‘Central Feature’ marked this prestigious milestone with a one-off 911-inspired sculpture displayed prominently outside Goodwood House. A dedicated class of road and racing 911s, covering all seven generations of the iconic sports car, took to the Goodwood Hillclimb twice each day over this Summer weekend for a special parade. Can be beyond even via Bluetooth with aptX technology or the two other connections ( RCA input / optical input ) connect directly to their sources.Thanks to the high quality components Stanmore intended to provide a detailed sound across the entire frequency range without sacrificing quality. The sound is punchy, without losing detail, and very clear and powerful to penetrate the entire spectrum from Stanmore.

__label__cc	0.674042	0.325958	strief: The Philosopher's Stone of Barack Obama's counterterrorism program is the "lone wolf." By rubbing "lone wolf" on any terrorism incident you are able to explain away the deceit, duplicity, incompetence and fear of offending sensibilities that seem to be the controlling principles of our defense against attack. This the Fort Hood shooting, the Garland shooting, the Chattanooga shooting, the San Bernardino shooting, the Boston Marathon bombing, the Orlando shooting stopped being intelligence and law enforcement failures on an epic scale and became "meh, sh** happens." The first phase of this tactic was the performance by the head of the FBI's counterterrorism office in New York when he not-so-cleverly whitewashed the level of the FBI's contact with the Chelsea bomber, Ahamd Khan Rahami. In the news conference, the FBI assistant director William Sweeney says Rahani was known to the FBI based on a domestic violence offense. What he neglected to say was that Rahani's father had reported him to the FBI as a terrorist. There is more. There seems to be a conscience avoidance of taking the totality of his conduct and putting in a cohesive context. It seems similar to the inability to tie threads of information that led to the intelligence failure on 9-11. As noted by Louie Gohmert, part of the problem is the FBI and others tasked with stopping terrorism have been schooled by this administration to be worried more about the phony disease of 'Islamaphobia' than taking a hard nose look at "known wolves." Here is the NY Times description of the "investigation" of his trips to terror states: How Suspect Passed Through the Law Enforcement Net Ahmad Khan Rahami, who is charged in a two-state bombing spree, was flagged for extra screening when he returned from traveling abroad, but there were no further consequences. After all, being labeled an "Islamaphobe" is a career killer in this administration. FBI Gohmert Islamic terrorist	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3460
__label__cc	0.607849	0.392151	Everything Paul McCartney Former Beatle, Wings founder, solo artist, and Inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Let Me Roll It "Let Me Roll It" is a track on Paul McCartney and Wings' 1973 "Band on the Run" Album. It was the flip side of the successful "Jet" sing in 1973, which went to No. 7 in both the United States and Great Britain. Paul obviously loves "Let Me Roll It" because he plays it in live concerts and it appears on several live albums. If you want to hear a live performance by Paul of "Let Me Roll It," just pick up a copy of "Wings over America," "Paul Is Live," "Back in the U.S.," "Back in the World," or "Good Evening New York City." Or just go to one of Paul McCartney's concerts, he's more likely than not to play it. Paul has said: [Let Me Roll It] was a riff, originally, a great riff to play, and whenever we played it live, it goes down great. We’d play it on two guitars, and people saw it later as a kind of John pastiche, as Lennon-ish, Lennonesque. Which I don’t mind. That could have been a Beatles song. Me and John would have sung that good. McCartney also has said: Let Me Roll It was not really a Lennon pastiche, although my use of tape echo did sound more like John than me. But tape echo was not John’s exclusive territory! And you have to remember that, despite the myth, there was a lot of commonality between us in the way that we thought and the way that we worked. "Let Me Roll It" is not a Beatles tune, but it certainly would fit nicely on "Abbey Road" next to "Oh! Darling." When Paul plays "Let Me Roll It" these days, he tends to speed it up just a touch faster than on the album. That's actually a trick that he uses a lot for live performances of some of his Wings songs, such as "Wild Life," which is extremely slow in the studio version. McCartney has said that the vocal "does sound like John... I hadn't realized I'd sung it like John." "Let Me Roll It" begins at about 5:20 in the below video of Paul McCartney and his band performing on the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. You gave me something. I understand, You gave me loving in the palm of my hand I can't tell you how I feel My heart is like a wheel Let me roll it to you I want to tell you And now's the time I want to tell you that You're going to be mine My heart is like a wheel.

__label__cc	0.723301	0.276699	Highway 65 Lincoln Bypass State Route 65 is a vital inter-regional route that serves both local and regional traffic, and is a major connector for both automobile and truck traffic between the I-80 and SR 70/99 corridors. Having been planned for three decades, the Lincoln Bypass was originally proposed to address the growing traffic conflicts and congestion resulting from a major interregional state highway bisecting the heart of the City of Lincoln’s downtown area. This area includes seven traffic signals, a junction with SR 193, and is paralleled by Union Pacific railroad tracks to the west. As far back as the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the need for a bypass around downtown Lincoln was identified in planning documents such as the Placer County General Plan. Exponential growth in residential, commercial, and industrial development in and around the City caused congestion to worsen on SR 65 beginning in the 1990’s. Gridlock conditions were projected for SR 65 by 2025 without the Bypass in place. Severe congestion on the prior SR 65 alignment created: poor linkages between jobs and housing throughout the entire highway corridor; poor reliability for goods movement delivery along a major connection for freight distribution (including connections at the Lincoln Airport); economic loss to commercial truck operations (over 14 percent of current traffic on SR 65 is comprised of trucks in some areas); and accident rates estimated at 30 percent higher than the statewide average for a similar type of facility. The completion of the Lincoln Bypass finally brings highly anticipated traffic relief to not only the residents of Lincoln, but also to commuters, travelers, and truckers throughout the region by: improving overall travel times on both the highway and local roads; enhancing safety throughout the corridor; reducing vehicle emissions; and promoting a more pedestrian friendly environment in downtown Lincoln. Improved Mobility Looking north: south end of Lincoln Bypass crossing over Industrial Ave, South Ingram Slough, Ferrari Ranch Rd. and North Ingram Slough The State Route 65 Lincoln Bypass provides vastly improved overall mobility on SR 65 by providing an alternate controlled access route around the downtown area of the City of Lincoln. The Lincoln Bypass will: shift 40,000 out of 47,500 daily vehicles from the previous SR 65 alignment onto the Bypass; save 57 million hours of delay by 2025; maintain free-flow conditions on the Bypass and previous SR 65 alignment to 2025; generate $14.2 million annual travel time savings; decrease local traffic within Lincoln by 73% by 2015; and create average speeds of 55 mph compared to 13 mph projected for 2025 without it. Free flow speeds will be created and maintained at 45 mph on the previous SR 65 alignment through downtown Lincoln. Community Enhancements By eliminating projected gridlock conditions on both SR 65 and adjacent local roadways in Lincoln, the Lincoln Bypass: enhances economic vitality and preserves livability in the local community; improves linkages between jobs and housing within the entire SR 65 corridor; and removes previous disruption and division of established areas such as downtown Lincoln by improving access to commercial and community services. Improved Goods Movement Looking west: south end of Lincoln Bypass in foreground, extending west then north around Lincoln Regional Airport, and ending in Sheridan in the distance The project improves reliability for goods movement delivery along a major connection for freight distribution and commercial truck operations, including connections at the Lincoln Regional Airport. The Lincoln Bypass reduces variance in delivery schedules and minimizes economic loss to shippers due to congestion. The project removes a significant amount of truck traffic out of downtown Lincoln. Over 14 percent of current traffic on SR 65 is comprised of trucks in some areas, about half of which is five or more axle vehicles. Before construction of the Lincoln Bypass, accident rates were estimated at 30 percent higher than the statewide average for a similar type of facility. Estimates show that the Lincoln Bypass will result in a 14 percent and 17 percent reduction of fatal and injury accidents, respectively, and $15.6 million in accident cost savings over 20 years. The Lincoln Bypass removes a high percentage of traffic out of an existing 100-year floodplain where the previous SR 65 alignment existed. Emergency response times are anticipated to drastically improve along SR 65 as a result of the project. Sheridan residents are experiencing increased safety in their community by having a signalized intersection with SR 65 at Riosa Road. Aesthetic Qualities The large overpass that crosses the Union Pacific railroad tracks south of Lincoln provides expansive panoramic views from the roadway including visual elements such as the City of Lincoln, pastureland, creek corridors, oak woodlands, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Sutter Buttes, and the Coast Range. All bridges were designed and built to complement existing landscape through color, size, form, texture and aesthetically pleasing architectural design. Landforms were blended into bridge abutments to maintain visual continuity for the motorist. Soundwalls were provided where homes and other noise-sensitive properties are close to the right-of-way. Attractive colors and creative design provide visual enhancements for both the motorist and property owners. The color themes and patterns were carefully selected in collaboration with the City of Lincoln to resemble and reflect on the City’s clay reserves and clay products manufacturing history. All slope treatments were blended with existing features, simulating natural forms. This consisted of rounding the top and edges of the cuts and fills to present a softer transition line between constructed and existing slopes. An extremely strong partnership between the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA), the South Placer Regional Transportation Authority (SPRTA), Caltrans, the California Transportation Commission (CTC), the City of Lincoln, and Placer County was required to overcome the many obstacles that could have prevented the Lincoln Bypass from being built. Much of the partnership centered around balancing project components with funding, particularly as the project cost estimates rose with the heady economic times of 2002 – 2006. The team met for day-long sessions at times to figure out how to maintain the project integrity and keep within budget. A Memorandum of Understanding was developed and adopted by all parties in 2003 to delineate how each partner would contribute should project costs go up or down. For example, the City of Lincoln volunteered to provide fill dirt from the construction of a wastewater treatment plant to reduce the costs to the Bypass.The South Placer Regional Transportation Authority agreed to add another $10 million to the developer fee program to fund the Bypass. More importantly, at every turn, all team members looked at construction requirements and phasing to see if they were really needed, as a way to keep the project alive. By the end of the construction process, the team expanded to the construction contractor to all work together to coordinate the Grand Opening of the Lincoln Bypass – a festive, fun community event that meshed with the final construction activities. The result was a major event attended by hundreds of local residents, as well as the actual opening of the Bypass to cars happening ahead of schedule. Innovative Financing Looking south: north end of Lincoln Bypass reconnecting with previous SR 65 alignment in Sheridan Without the luxury of a transportation sales tax in Placer County to help fund large transportation projects, PCTPA took the initiative along with Placer County, the Cities of Lincoln, Rocklin, and Roseville to form the South Placer Regional Transportation Authority (SPRTA) in 2001. SPRTA, administered by PCTPA, adopted a regional traffic impact fee to help fund regional transportation projects, including the Lincoln Bypass. In 2002, PCTPA brokered a deal with Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission to leverage the Placer region’s future shares of the STIP, along with SPRTA and other local funds, with Caltrans discretionary ITIP funds to fully fund construction of the Lincoln Bypass. Not without great risk, this move allowed the project to move forward during difficult economic times and proved just how important the project is to Placer County and its residents. The project costs did not stay at the original $206 million estimate. By 2006, the total cost had climbed well to around $324 million. This is where a lot of innovative thought came in. Early placement of fill dirt from the wastewater treatment plant on the future right of way saved tens of millions of dollars and at least one year of compaction time. Early acquisition of right-of-way through SPRTA also saved significant escalation in acquisition costs. Purchase of the Aitken Ranch mitigation property early in the process also saved on rapidly escalating costs. Required park-and-ride lot funding came through local shares of Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds. The CTC, seeing all this local effort and commitment, again stepped up to the plate with Proposition 1B Corridor Mobility Improvement Act funds to make the project whole and push towards construction. By the time the project was ultimately bid in 2008, construction costs had declined with the economy, meaning that we were able to reap savings to add scope back into the project – just as was outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding adopted in 2003. All told, there were at least 10 sources of funding – from local impact fees to STIP and Proposition 1B to federal earmarks – used to make the Lincoln Bypass a reality.

March 20th celebrates their 3rd Femme Fatale night, which is to continues as an on-going festival. Each Femme Fatale event has fallen around the turn of the seasons. It started because Harlot was “getting paired with bands that didn’t have the same interest as [they] did.” “We wanted to book our own bills,” says Molly.

An Interview with Founder, Rachelle Caplan From October 15-17th, Cincinnati will bear witness to its first ever Ladyfest– “a multi-faceted 3 day festival promoting women involved in arts and activism.” I sat down with Rachelle Caplan, founder and lead organizer of Ladyfest Cincinnati, to learn about her goals and inspirations for the fest. Rachelle’s first experience with a Ladyfest was in Chicago in 2007. She had just moved there from Florida and some friends suggested she look up the DIY fest, Ladyfest.

__label__wiki	0.744053	0.744053	Home » Opinion » "The Sanctuary" should never be allowed to open on Roosevelt Island Inappropriate Location for Speakeasy, Outdoor Beer Garden, General Misconduct "The Sanctuary" should never be allowed to open on Roosevelt Island Monday, September 30, 2019 - 19:17 David Stone Standing at the speakeasy entrance, family picnic grounds and kids playground park are just a few, unprotected feet away. © David Stone / Roosevelt Island Daily In our opinion, it doesn't take a genius to see why the so-called Sanctuary speakeasy and outdoor beer garden should never be allowed to open on Roosevelt Island. If its location only 25 unprotected feet across a fire lane from a community picnic and playground park isn't enough, there's plenty more. Kids frolic on swings and folks walk their dogs, just across the fire lane from Hudson's speakeasy and outdoor beer garden. We can start with the obvious. The building, which served as a church for over a century, sits in space never contemplated for the future use projected by Hudson-Related. It's immediately adjacent to a family park, picnic area and playground. Vehicle access requires misusing a fire lane as a two-lane thoroughfare. There are no sidewalks or lane stripes, and it's poorly lit. Even before reaching the fire lane, vehicles have to drive through The Octagon's parking lot, also not designed or set up as an active roadway. Pedestrians walk through the poorly lit area at all hours, and it ends with a single lane bottleneck where drivers must enter and exit the fire lane. The fire lane has unprotected entrances and exits from a busy daycare center and a community garden. The church was never part of the AVAC system, meaning a smelly, unsightly dumpster will have to be parked somewhere. It's also not equipped for the electrical and plumbing demands of an active restaurant. A fire lane, the single vehicle access to "The Sanctuary" lacks sufficient lighting, stop signs, sidewalks and lane striping. Over the weekend, passing the church, I saw a worker exit with two bags of garbage. She placed them in the public container maintained by RIOC. So, the new operators haven't bothered to even set up their own refuse disposal and will rely on taxpayer support instead. And what if they do get a dumpster? Where will it go? In the fire lane? Their parking area adjacent to the West Promenade? How noisy will it be and at what hours? Who's responsible for the Manhattan-like stink when trash is left for days over weekends, ripening. How will the stink affect users of the picnic area only recent returned to full availability after an emergency road was built? Rules are for everyone, even behemoth Hudson-Related Hudson-Related's stealth tactics in sneaking in a speakeasy and outdoor beer garden while disguising their intentions from locals, never seeking comment, are a big turn off, but consider these... At least two events are scheduled that include distributing/selling alcohol, although there is no license for it. An appearance before Community Board 8, the first step in such a process, will not even happen until next week. A search of the Department of Buildings's database last week did not turn up an occupancy permit or even an application for one. Same for a building permit allowing the construction necessary to convert the church into a speakeasy and/or event space. No record of a Fire Department inspection has turned up. Taken together, the owner's failure to do the right thing in terms of regulations hints at an unscrupulous operator with little or no concern for the demands legitimate operators like Kaie Razaghi at Nisi met before opening. RIOC appears, so far, unwilling to deal with the permits and licensing issues nor to bring in NYPD to do it for them. Residents' best opportunity for success may be The Sanctuary's appearance before CB8's Street Life Committee on October 10th. They'll be asking for approval to get a State liquor license. The future public urination station for "The Sanctuary" is perfectly located across from the parking lot. No lights and the East River for a flush. In our opinion, they should be stopped.

Etna Soapfat Springfield Upper Maria or Click a link below to go to another county or elsewhere Bedford Blair Clarion Clearfield Forest Greene Mercer Somerset Westmoreland Furnace Home Furnace Index BLAIR COUNTY in Central PENNSYLVANIA had nineteen Old Iron Furnaces of which we have visited and photographed eleven. The others have no remains. Of particular interest Allegany is restored but mortar was used between the stones, a no no. You can clearly make out that Canoe was a round furnace. Elizabeth and Springfield have good portions remaining. Mt, Etna has many out buildings to see, but the supports to hold the furnace together mar its beauty. Near the Rebecca site is the iron master house of Edward Lytle Sr. Elizabeth Furnace Blair - was built in Altoona, Logan Township about 1830 and owned at one time by H. N. Burroughs .The site is near the old Pennsylvania Railroad (Now Norfolk Southern) tower and tracks. Fill now covers the site. Start at the junction of PA36 and PA764 in Altoona. Proceed north on PA764 about 1.9 miles. PA764 goes right and SR4019 goes straight ahead. Proceed on SR4019 about another 1.9 miles to where a road to the left and a bridge goes over the railroad yards. Turn left over this bridge. At the end of the bridge turn right about two blocks. There was an old stone tower on the railroad to the right. The Blair Furnace stood between this tower and the bridge. The site is covered by fill and no trace remains. Coordinates 40º 33' 6"N - 78º 22' 23"W. to top Chimney Rock - Built in 1836(s&t), or 1856 by Gardner, Osterich & Co., Chimney Rock was in Hollidaysburg, Blair Township, across the Juanita River from Gaysport Furnace(s&t). In its first year it produced between 60-70 tons of foundry metal per week(wes). In 1876 it was likely a part of the Cambria Iron Works operations(whe). It was closed in 1885(wes). Nothing remains. From Gaysport Furnace continue to where a bridge crosses the Juniata River, about one block. Cross the bridge. Turn left and follow a dirt road to its end. The furnace site is in the flat area to the right between the road and the railroad track, directly opposite the freight station (1960's). Coordinates 40º 25.56'N - 78º 23.73'W. to top Gaysport (aka Hollidaysburg) - Was built in 1836(s&t) or 1856 by Watson Dennison & Co. in Gaysport, Hollidaysburg, Blair Township(wes). It was owned by Smith and Caldwell(s&t). The furnace was a hot blast type and produced at the rate of 10-12 tons per day until 1885(wes). In 1876 it was likely part of the Cambria Iron Company complex(whe). No trace remains. The S&T account has you turning south on PA36 over the railroad track. We believe that PA36 has been relocated about 0.4 miles to the east, and the bridge over the railroad is actually now on SR2012 Newry Street (old PA36). At the first cross street, Bedford Street, turn left and park in back of brick building on the corner at the south end of bridge over Juniata River. The furnace site was 100-150 feet to the left, about midway between the river and houses along Bedford Street. Nothing remains, but slag has been excavated. Coordinates 40º 25.58'N - 78º 23.86'W. to top Sarah - was on Beaver Dam Run at Sproul in Greenfield Township. It was built in 1832 by Dr. Schoenberger. It was water powered cold blast until 1847 when two iron tubs were installed. The charcoal iron was shipped to three Maria forges near Hollidaysburg(wes).. Per s&t it was never successful and was shut down after two or three years of operation(?). The stack finally was demolished in the winter of 1881-1882(s&t). The furnace site is now covered by dirt and waste from a brickyard dump. Since the s&t location account was prepared in the 60's, a new US220-I99 has been built to the east of old US322. Going south from Hollidaysburg to the village of Sproul, old US322 is now SR3013 in Sproul. In Sproul turn right on old A5732 probably now SR3006. About 1/8 mile along this road a dirt road leads downhill to the right. At the foot of the hill another dirt road to the right was closed by a chain. Walk through this lane to the large dump which now covers the furnace location. The furnace stood on the natural hillside, and the site is now covered with dirt and waste from the brickyard. Only a few pieces of slag remained in the field between the hill and the creek.

__label__cc	0.670865	0.329135	People v. Parliament - the chasm widens It seems Brussels voted yesterday to kick the can a little further down the road, with political stasis until 12th April likely to mandate a further long extension, and the Brexit Party storming the Euro elections on 23rd May, with the UK pissing away £1bn a month into the bribe fund of the crooked Federasts for the foreseeable future. The petition figure of 2m is impressive but meaningless. Even if it reached 17.4m it would still be meaningless; it is open to fraud, abuse, hacking and manipulation. The map is instructive. The greatest proportion of clicks are from Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton and Edinburgh. In contrast, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle, Belfast, Cardiff are hardly to be seen. And this is the important message, for should (God forbid) the nation descend into civil strife over Brexit, these are the battle lines. Of greater interest is the latest poll from ComRes - worth quoting in full below Approaching half of British adults agree that if the UK left the EU without a deal on 29 March it would briefly cause some uncertainty but then ultimately work out ok (46%); four in five 2016 Leavers agree (78%), as do one quarter of Remainers (23%). Approaching nine in ten 2016 Leave voters agree that it has felt as if the EU has been trying to punish the UK over the Brexit negotiations (85%), as do nearly half of Remain voters (46%). British adults are split over whether Theresa May is right to try a third time to get the EU Withdrawal Agreement through Parliament (38% agree vs 39% disagree). Only one in ten British adults say they trust MPs to do the right thing by the country over Brexit (11%), while seven in ten disagree (68%). Overall, Theresa May is the most favourable politician with over one quarter of voters saying so (27%). Overall, Jeremy Corbyn is the most unfavourable politician with most adults saying so (56%). One in four 2016 Remain voters agree that it would have caused fewer problems had the UK left the EU without a deal as quickly as possible in 2016, rather than spending the past two and a half years trying to negotiate a deal (23%), compared to approaching four in five Leave voters (77%). Although you wouldn't think so from reading this blog, or indeed any of the political press, May quite astonishingly retains the confidence of a significant part of the public. What she said about Parliament on Wednesday resonated widely - so widely that MPs are whining today that she 'endangered' them (as if many weren't due anyway to be pitched from their cozy sinecures at the next election). 68% of voters don't trust Parliament to carry out their democratic mandate. Brexit remains, as it has been, the people of Britain vs Parliament. The ComRes poll confirms it. Even M.Macron recognises the chasm between People and Parliament; leaving the EU conference yesterday evening he said The EU in a very clear manner has today responded to a British political crisis. The British politicians are incapable to put in place what their people have demanded. Their people voted for Brexit. Labels: betrayal, Brexit r_writes esq. said... Yes that map is very instructive, I will know where not to move, should I wish to. DiscoveredJoys said... Perhaps May is basking in the 'Daughter of Thatcher' effect? Except that Thatcher was more often right than not and didn't keep putting off decisions. Perhaps Corbyn is basking in the 'Understudy of Wolfie Smith' effect? DeeDee99 said... Nigel Farage's threat in the DT to "tear the Conservative Party limb from limb" if the CONs betray the Brexit vote may have focused a few minds a Central Office. They will do everything they can to prevent the UK from taking part in the EU Parliament elections. I hope the ERG and DUP refuse to back down and block the Surrender Treaty. John Brown said... The reason Mrs. May “astonishingly retains the confidence of a significant part of the public” is because a large proportion of the public have not been paying full attention to the debate and are therefore believing Mrs. May’s lies when she says that we will be leaving the EU when we sign the EU’s WA. They haven’t grasped that the “Future Relationship” negotiations haven’t even started and that the EU’s WA will seriously weaken our negotiating position with its clause that we cannot exit the EU unilaterally and that as a consequence every single country will vote to keep us in the EU until they get what they want. Mr. Macron has already said he will use the backstop to get everything he wants from our fishing grounds. It is worse than remain in that remain at least had Article 50, and this was always the intention of our remain PM, Parliament and civil service. This WA should never be signed under any circumstances and the only way to leave the EU is without a deal. It was really always going to be the “only” way to leave and a Brexit PM and Parliament would have spent the last 3 years preparing for it. Whether we sign the WA, or leave with no deal, or even revoke Article 50 the EU will be out to get us. decnine said... I will not say that individual MPs are traitors (though the behaviour of some of them invites it). I do say that Parliament is institutionally treacherous towards the citizens of the UK. Mr Ecks said... The petition is shite. Bots etc same as 2016 and every remainiac signing under every live email address they have. I have had 6 at one time or another etc and I am not a tech type. Cedric Pugh said... Petition to leave the EU with no deal: 370,000 in six months. Petition to cancel Article Fifty: 2,500,000 in two days. No, neither carry legal force but they are not "meaningless". Turnout for Farage's walk: fewer than 100. 2 million is fake--as above. They know this is their chance to wreck and hope that enough bullshit will do it. As for Farage--the walk was a stupid idea. WhoTF is going to across the UK trying to find a marxch. Jarrow is a sacred cow of the left anyway. Organised at the last minute. A hopeless plan. A GE needs to be any second vote. Not a rigged 2nd vote circus. Well here is a YouTube that says otherwise Cedric: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_miU2PGZw-k&feature=youtu.be The point about any march is that you have to be fit enough to participate, and you have to have the free time available. Note that there is an awful lot of support for those participants from people who can't be there. RAC said... Cedric Pugh you may think you are being subtle but your liking to piss on the fireworks is very noticeable and tedious. Dave_G said... Cedric said No, neither carry legal force but they are not "meaningless". 'Meaningless' as the original legal vote to LEAVE was? If the 'leave vote WAS meaningless then why did 16.8M vote against it? The reason there is no substantial protest in support of leave (as opposed to the irresponsible, Globalist-paid-for remain hyseria) is that leave WON and in a democratic society the 'winners' would rightly expect their wishes to prevail - so why SHOULD they protest? You Remainers don't seem to understand the wider implications of your refusal to recognise a democratic decision and the need to uphold the result. Reap what you sow. Is it that the EU now want us out? Absolute surrender was their preferred (only) option of course but even if they get that do they really want a potential block of up th 73 "MEPs" aligning with other "populists". The Europen "parliament" is a pointless rubber stamp of course, just there for show, but it's not sold to European "citizens" as such (and I'm sure many of them actually believe it's part of a genuinely democratic structure) Some dissent is allowed as part of the theatre but how would they deal with serious opposition in this "parliament" that wouldn't go quietly? Just askin I find it difficult to believe that all 27 EU members voted to adopt this delay. Certainly Italy, Portugal, Greece, Poland, Austria, Hungary etc all have very good reason to be as obstructive as possible to EU motions much as the DUP were to Treason May and capable of extracting their 'pound of flesh' for their co-operation. What did the EU concede to get this delay through? Equally we hear very little of the ground swell of public (and business) opinion from Europe. I can't imagine for a moment that European businesses aren't VERY concerned for their potential lack of trade opportunity with the UK, given the trade imbalance, and suggest the discontent with EU leadership is as great as ours is with our current Parliament. But, as ever, all we see/hear is what the Globalist Establishment WANT us to see/hear i.e. Remain protests, stupid poll results and fabricated belief in a desire to remain. Other than the official EU line does anyone, anywhere, know what the PUBLIC and Business feeling is across Europe? I'd go to our 'responsible, unbiased and trustworthy' media for answers but...... Of course they want the UK out, Mark. Emmanuel Macron has just castigated UK politicians, for being incapable of "implementing what the people have asked of them". Make what you will, of that populist language. It's difficult to conclude otherwise now, although when they actually decided this would be interesting to know. How May's deal can be passed now when even the EU are making it clear they don't want it (and clearly will not change a full stop). But fuck me, there's still the possibility! Bill Quango MP said... Portillo on This Week responded to the 2m petition by saying it was meaningless. And suggesting Andrew Neil was being less than his usual journalistic rigorous self for even mentioning it. When asked why, Portillo replied that a poll for leaving the EU on "X" date, with or without a deal, would also garner hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of votes. Curiosity only: Has moderation cured the troll infestation? Or are you reading the wind up and then deleting ? @Cedric - "incapable" (of implementing...)??? Surely Macron meant to say UNWILLING to implement? We (or, should I correctly point out, Remainers) blindly lead the way to anarchy and totalitarianism by refusing to support a democratic process that is being usurped in front of all our faces. Parliaments actions may set a prescendent in that they could, should they refuse to implement 'the will of the people', simply disregard any and all future wants by the electorate. By their actions they now indicate that they consider themselves superior, they are uncontestible and that they are 'the word of law'. Do you understand that you are a willing participant in thowing away all your rights? NOTHING you seek need be enacted. NOTHING you want changed need happen. Where is the incentive for Government to do what 'you' want if they can piss on your bonfire of democratic rights and simply IGNORE YOU? Mock me. I know your type and you surely will. But if you can't see what is happening right in front of your face then your mockery is hollow, as is any argument you make for Remain. Raedwald said... Bill - they've mostly dropped away I just delete OT trolls that try deliberately to substitute a troll agenda or that are plain fake-news bollocks - only a couple a day now It's still a pain in the arse. I'm in my workshop routing picture frame stock and coul do without it. Span Ows said... Cedric, hard of understanding? The march is LIMITED to numbers. This is INTENTIONAL and following police advice. Re "meaningless"...yes, these petition numbers are completely meaningless. (now over 3 million...are you excited?) Interestingly, nearly ALL the darker coloured areas (most signatures) are Labour or Lib Dem constituencies, most Labour MPs represent a constituency that voted Leave though. Bristol West and Brighton Pavilion seemed to be winning with almost 7% of the total voter population of that constituency having signed...amazing (not). Still meaningless hehe, just looked at my post re a similar petition back in June 2016: https://owsblog.blogspot.com/2016/06/online.html "...if you go to the petition map you can see where most signatures are coming from: London, Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton...yes, you get the idea: [edit 1620 hrs] a student/millennial/snowflake brigade are on a mission..." plus ca change! I don't think the petition is being significantly gamed but they are lying about how easy it is to game it. You don't need a hacked email address for every signature. You just need a single domain with wildcard emails enabled. For example, check the headers for any email from Amazon and while the Reply-To header will be something obvious like no-reply@amazon.co.uk the Return-Path header will be something long and unique like abc123@bounces.amazon.co.uk. So in essence every Amazon customer, perhaps even every email Amazon sends, has a unique email address. Do these security experts on the BBC really think someone at Amazon manually creates all these accounts every day? There are plenty of ready to use commercial services for this. Amazon SES, Send Grid, Mailchimp, etc. but they're probably not a good idea for this as they'd suspend any new account with lots of activity (you could hack a legitimate account and hide the spam under normal load). The catch is that it's easy for someone to spot thousands of email sign ups from the same domain and this is most likely why the petition numbers are so slow to update. The site isn't overloaded but is saving up signatures to process in batches because the larger the batch the easier it is to detect repeated domains. https://www.mintpressnews.com/with-a-hard-brexit-looming-uk-invites-10000-foreign-troops-over-for-military-exercises/256468/ Is this fake news? jack ketch said... Anyone seen 'Budgie' recently? Not like him not to comment. Is the petition (nudging 4Mill now) meaningless? Probably...but...remember the people who will decide if it is or isn't meaningful are the self same people who were (and are) saying "We will respect the referendum vote" or "honour the vote" (neither of which means 'comply with'). In other words our own dear whimsical darlings elected to the House of Commons. Our MPs will decide how much meaning it has.... My own view is that the 'petition' is nothing more than a Deep State dirty trick; only the Grey Men have access to an email database of previous petition signers for which they can mass-fake confirmations. Using the servers of their old Oxbridge chums to promulgate the fraud fits the picture. In three months, when tha database has been analysed and shown to be fraudulent, and football fans, home bakers, motorcycle maintainers and others discover their identities have been hijacked, it will be too late. No, we must disregard this obvious piece of Black propaganda. Oh dear. Tinfoil hat stuff, Raed. Anon...you need to find out what people say 'tin foil hat' to, I don't think you quite get it. The site isn't overloaded but is saving up signatures to process in batches because the larger the batch the easier it is to detect repeated domains. -k I suspect k is right about that, it has been noticeable that instead of constantly updating as it did at the start, it now updates in large chunks only a few times an hour as far as I can see. Just passed the 4 million mark. MPs are 'Enemies of the People' - Betrayal latest Will no one rid us of this bloody woman?

While the magnitude of obliqueness angle strongly depended on the concentration of chiral dopant, its sign was determined by the polarity of the driving voltage, thus FDs appeared alternately as symmetrical oblique stripes in the positive and negative half a.c. voltage cycles, respectively. Also the HTP value of chiral dopant in BCNs can be determined based on this phenomenon. The polarity-dependent behavior of FDs can be potentially exploited in photonic devices with a bistable function.

__label__wiki	0.626308	0.626308	Series Review: Brothers Sinister by Courtney Milan posted at Monday, February 27th, 2017 at 8:00 AM \| Adult, Mini Reviews, Reviews The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan Series: Brothers Sinister #0.5 Published by Author on April 21, 2012 Genres: Historical, Romance Amazon • Audible She will not give up… Three months ago, governess Serena Barton was let go from her position. Unable to find new work, she’s demanding compensation from the man who got her sacked: a petty, selfish, swinish duke. But it’s not the duke she fears. It’s his merciless man of business—the man known as the Wolf of Clermont. The formidable former pugilist has a black reputation for handling all the duke’s dirty business, and when the duke turns her case over to him, she doesn’t stand a chance. But she can’t stop trying—not with her entire future at stake. He cannot give in… Hugo Marshall is a man of ruthless ambition—a characteristic that has served him well, elevating the coal miner’s son to the right hand man of a duke. When his employer orders him to get rid of the pestering governess by fair means or foul, it’s just another day at the office. Unfortunately, fair means don’t work on Serena, and as he comes to know her, he discovers that he can’t bear to use foul ones. But everything he has worked for depends upon seeing her gone. He’ll have to choose between the life that he needs, and the woman he is coming to love… In my historical romance obsession of the past year, Courtney Milan’s books have come highly recommended. Brothers Sinister was recommended to me a lot, so I decided to start there. The Governess Affair would have been better in long format, but it sets up the series well. Basically every time I read a good novella, my main thought is how much better it would have been expanded into a full length novel. The Governess Affair isn’t as shippy as it could be because of the brief format. Hugh and Serena do have major ship potential, but they really only get bantering when they’re writing letters to each other. As such, I only mildly shipped them as a couple. However, I appreciated the uniqueness of Hugh and Serena as a couple. Neither of them is wealthy. Hugh’s a fixer for a jerk of a duke in an effort to make his fortune. Serena’s pregnant by said duke; I also like that Milan actually deals with the rape aspect, rather than just including it for dramatic back story. Another perk is that The Governess Affair has one of the best sex scenes I’ve read. The epilogue of the novella makes it clear that this was all to set up the children of the Duke, so the focus was always on what came next. It’s a good novella and it did get me really excited for the romances of the brothers, so it accomplished its goal. The Duchess War by Courtney Milan Series: Brothers Sinister #1 Published by Author on December 18, 2012 Sometimes love is an accident. This time, it’s a strategy. Miss Minerva Lane is a quiet, bespectacled wallflower, and she wants to keep it that way. After all, the last time she was the center of attention, it ended badly--so badly that she changed her name to escape her scandalous past. Wallflowers may not be the prettiest of blooms, but at least they don't get trampled. So when a handsome duke comes to town, the last thing she wants is his attention. But that is precisely what she gets. Because Robert Blaisdell, the Duke of Clermont, is not fooled. When Minnie figures out what he’s up to, he realizes there is more to her than her spectacles and her quiet ways. And he’s determined to lay her every secret bare before she can discover his. But this time, one shy miss may prove to be more than his match… OH. MY. GOD. After The Governess Affair didn’t completely blow my socks off, I was so unprepared for everything The Duchess War did to my heart. I have a new favorite romance novel. The Duchess War took a bit of time to get to obsessive flailing level (until the train trip), but once there I remained in a constant state of emotion. This book actually has a pretty good plot even, and I spent a lot of time on tenterhooks, worried for my precious ship. The thing about The Duchess War is that Courtney Milan has clearly read a lot of romance novels, and she sat down and wrote one that purposely turned away from the worst tropes. For example, both hero and heroine have dark pasts because of shitty parents, but they react in realistic ways without becoming cruel people or terrified of love. When they find out about each other’s dark pasts, they’re sympathetic and care more for the other person because they came through that, rather than storming off about not having been told sooner. It’s BRILLIANT. Robert and Minnie are a ship of dreams. One reason I love historical romance specifically is that I mind less if they instalove, since couples didn’t really have an opportunity to get to know one another. Robert and Minnie manage that, and they’re so clearly compatible and of shared interests. (They even both love masturbation!) Also, Robert’s not the typical Duke character. He’s not a rake (View Spoiler »in fact, he’s a virgin!!! not sure how realistic this is but I do not give a single shit « Hide Spoiler), he blushes constantly, and he can be a complete and total goof. Minerva’s not considered beautiful by basically anyone, but he’s got it so bad for her mind and omg they’re perfect. What makes The Duchess War a five star romance novel is that the plot doesn’t hinge on lies. Robert and Minnie have disagreements and make mistakes, but THEN THEY TALK IT OUT. You know, like MATURE ADULTS. It’s amazing how rare it is to find this in romance. There is no doubt they’ll make their marriage work, because they will work through their problems. I <3 them endlessly. The other reason The Duchess War is fucking perfection (yes the sex scenes are great, though not in a typical way) is because the WHOLE cast is lovable. The book has the humor and full cast awesomeness typical of Julia Quinn. Any scene with Robert’s friends is almost as amazing as Robert/Minnie scenes. I wasn’t sure about Lydia or his mother, but Milan made me care about everyone. If you’re into historical romance and haven’t read this, um, what are you doing still here? GO READ AND THEN COME BACK AND YELL WITH ME. A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan Miss Lydia Charingford is always cheerful, and never more so than at Christmas time. But no matter how hard she smiles, she can't forget the youthful mistake that could have ruined her reputation. Even though the worst of her indiscretion was kept secret, one other person knows the truth of those dark days: the sarcastic Doctor Jonas Grantham. She wants nothing to do with him...or the butterflies that take flight in her stomach every time he looks her way. Jonas Grantham has a secret, too: He's been in love with Lydia for more than a year. This winter, he's determined to conquer her dislike and win her for his own. It all starts with a wager and a kiss... A Kiss for Midwinter is a novella (38,000 words) in the Brothers Sinister series. It follows The Duchess War. Each book stands on its own, but those who prefer to read in order might want to read that book first. sighs A Kiss for Midwinter was a struggle. It’s that present you get with shiny paper and you’re so excited and then you open it and it’s a value pack of ugly socks. The thing is that I think A Kiss for Midwinter could have worked. The dialogue is fine, but the POVs just didn’t really work for me, particularly Jonas’. As far as I can tell, he’s meant to perhaps have Asberger’s or something, because he doesn’t have typical responses or ways of thinking, but he comes off more as lacking in empathy. You know, like a psychopath. And psychopaths are often doctors, so that’s totally possible. Jonas veers weirdly from making awkward jokes to being so literal that he doesn’t understand normal people to being clinical and creepy af. I liked him in The Duchess War, and I think if I’d had just his dialogue to go by without ever being in his head, I’d have liked him. Unfortunately, I didn’t. Lydia’s POV works better, though I still didn’t understand some of her motivations. Like, she figures out that she’s into Jonas and that he’s into her, and she panics and tries to push him away because…reasons? Ostensibly because the man who used her in the past made her fear actual feelings, but it’s done in a clunky way that just really didn’t feel authentic. It felt like forced tropiness. I do appreciate the frank discussions of sexuality, basically never heard of in romance, but I wish I’d been into the actual sexy times between these two. I’m really not sure how this one went so wrong when The Duchess War was such perfection. The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan Published by Author on July 15, 2013 Miss Jane Fairfield can’t do anything right. When she’s in company, she always says the wrong thing—and rather too much of it. No matter how costly they are, her gowns fall on the unfortunate side of fashion. Even her immense dowry can’t save her from being an object of derision. And that’s precisely what she wants. She’ll do anything, even risk humiliation, if it means she can stay unmarried and keep her sister safe. Mr. Oliver Marshall has to do everything right. He’s the bastard son of a duke, raised in humble circumstances—and he intends to give voice and power to the common people. If he makes one false step, he’ll never get the chance to accomplish anything. He doesn’t need to come to the rescue of the wrong woman. He certainly doesn’t need to fall in love with her. But there’s something about the lovely, courageous Jane that he can’t resist…even though it could mean the ruin of them both. The Heiress Effect starts off super strongly, even better than The Duchess War but ultimately didn’t sustain that high level. Milan still impressed me here on the whole, but this is my least favorite of the four actual novels in the series. We’re introduced to Jane as she works with her dressmaker to make the most hideous dress imaginable. That’s one of the things Jane’s known for, along with her massive 100,000 pound dowry and her unintentional rudeness. What nobody but her sister knows, though, is that Jane’s acting, all to prevent any man from making an offer for her hand despite the dowry. If she gets an offer, Jane can no longer live with her sister and guardian anymore. The relationship between the sisters is sweet, and I love how Milan always manages to actually deal with historical issues, like medicine. Oliver and Jane have such a great meetcute, as she steamrolls him with awkwardness and offensiveness. It’s also fabulous that Jane’s a fat heroine, and physically she’s completely his type from the start, though her dresses are not his fave. (It’s also cute that Jane really does like her ugly dresses.) I shipped them so much to start, but ultimately that waned a bit. It’s still a ship, but not a SHIP!!!! They don’t become partners or feel like the absolute perfect match for one another the way that Robert and Minnie are. Plus, Oliver spends way too long choosing his political career over her, which isn’t especially shippy and echoes too closely to The Governess Affair. Also, the kissing on horseback was positively ridiculous. They are way too old for that to be anything but deeply uncomfortable. The side ship of Jane’s sister and an Indian law student proved adorable, but also not quite as strong as Milan at peak shippery. There’s a lot of greatness in The Heiress Effect, but it would have benefited from a bit more banter and a bit less madcap adventure. The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an educated one. When he’s not scandalizing ladies in the bedchamber, he’s outraging proper society with his scientific theories. He’s desired, reviled, acclaimed, and despised—and he laughs through it all. Violet Waterfield, the widowed Countess of Cambury, on the other hand, is entirely respectable, and she’d like to stay that way. But Violet has a secret that is beyond ruinous, one that ties her irrevocably to England’s most infamous scoundrel: Sebastian’s theories aren’t his. They’re hers. So when Sebastian threatens to dissolve their years-long conspiracy, she’ll do anything to save their partnership...even if it means opening her vulnerable heart to the rake who could destroy it for good. The darkest of the series, The Countess Conspiracy is a touching romance between two friends who have both been vastly underestimated, even by the people who love them. I fell in love with Sebastian and Violet in The Duchess War, but there both a bit different than I anticipated. In public, they’re bantery as fuck, but when they’re alone the darkness shines through. They’re both of the sort to mask pain and try to hide the real feelings. This means that they do understand each other in a special way, and they help each other deal with their toxic sibling relationships. View Spoiler »Though I think it’s touching how Milan shows that some of these relationships can be fixed (Violet and her mother; Sebastian and his brother) and some cannot (Violet and her sister). « Hide Spoiler This is the least bantery and outright funny of the books, but it’s solid and emotional. Aside from that, I fucking love the twist of this book. It’s revealed right at the start, but I’m going to spoiler tag anyway. View Spoiler »Probably I should have seen it coming and I definitely would have if I’d read more Milan, but OMG VIOLET IS THE SCIENTIST. Milan focuses her books on strong heroines who find ways to make society deal with them, rather than changing to fit in, and I absolutely adore this. It’s so cool how Milan always includes history in her historical romance. ♥♥♥ « Hide Spoiler The least showy of the Brothers Sinister books, The Countess Conspiracy still makes a very good showing. The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan An idealistic suffragette... Miss Frederica "Free" Marshall has put her heart and soul into her newspaper, known for its outspoken support of women's rights. Naturally, her enemies are intent on destroying her business and silencing her for good. Free refuses to be at the end of her rope...but she needs more rope, and she needs it now. ...a jaded scoundrel... Edward Clark's aristocratic family abandoned him to die in a war-torn land, so he survived the only way he could: by becoming a rogue and a first-class forger. When the same family that left him for dead vows to ruin Miss Marshall, he offers his help. So what if he has to lie to her? She's only a pawn to use in his revenge. ...and a scandal seven years in the making. But the irrepressible Miss Marshall soon enchants Edward. By the time he realizes that his cynical heart is hers, it's too late. The only way to thwart her enemies is to reveal his scandalous past...and once the woman he loves realizes how much he's lied to her, he'll lose her forever. Oh my god, I might maybe love The Suffragette Scandal even more than I love The Duchess War. They are assuredly two of the best historical romances of all time. Edward Clark falls for Free basically immediately. He’s got a thing for outspoken women who fight for social reform apparently. He loves about her all the ways that she doesn’t fit into society. She inspires him and challenges him at everything. As with Robert and Minnie, he’s massively turned on by her strength and intelligence, and both of them think through arguments. Meanwhile, Free accepts the darker aspects of Edward’s character, and the fact that he’s a scoundrel makes him clever enough to be a match for her. Though in some senses the darkest of the series, The Suffragette Scandal is also perhaps the funniest of the bunch. The banter remains at a consistently high level. I was in love with this book and this ship from the very first pages. It’s also a great conclusion to the series (if you set the novellas aside), because there are a lot of amazing cameos. Free getting to know Robert is the sweetest, Edward meeting her parents is so fucking cute, and the epilogue made my heart explode. Also, Edward’s Brothers Sinister jokes. I just cannot. I love the fuck out of this series and this book and take all my money, Courtney Milan. I received this book for free from Purchased in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Talk Sweetly to Me by Courtney Milan Published by Author on August 18, 2014 Nobody knows who Miss Rose Sweetly is, and she prefers it that way. She's a shy, mathematically-minded shopkeeper's daughter who dreams of the stars. Women like her only ever come to attention through scandal. She'll take obscurity, thank you very much. All of England knows who Stephen Shaughnessy is. He's an infamous advice columnist and a known rake. When he moves into the house next door to Rose, she discovers that he's also wickedly funny, devilishly flirtatious, and heart-stoppingly handsome. But when he takes an interest in her mathematical work, she realizes that Mr. Shaughnessy isn't just a scandal waiting to happen. He's waiting to happen to her...and if she's not careful, she'll give in to certain ruination. Novellas may not be Courtney Milan’s forte, if this series’ novellas are anything to go off of. Her novels are amazing, but the novellas have been a bit lacking. There’s a lot that I love about the concept of this one, but it doesn’t really succeed in bringing the ship, which is kinda the point. I loved Stephen in The Suffragette Scandal, and I’d been hoping he’d be the love interest in the novella. However, he’s gone from being the charming, unpopular, feminist nerd of that book to a notorious rake. One of the things I’ve most loved about Courtney’s heroes is that they don’t tend to be famous rakes, and Stephen just sooooo did not seem like he was destined for rakehood. He’s still not a typical romance hero, because he’s not massively rich and titled, and he’s Irish and catholic, but whyyyyy is he a rake? It’s so not necessary, and it really does not fit this silly, punny love interest. Another problem here is that Milan skips the part where they actually fall in love. Apparently both were captivated when Rose Sweetly came to stay with her sister several months back. We’re thrown in at the middle, and their feelings are already there. The beauty of romance novels is the arc of the relationship, feeling them catch feelings, but these feelings have already been caught. I love the concept of this novella. Rose is a maths genius, a computer of astronomical distances. She can multiply gigantic numbers in her head; she’s so talented she’s gotten a role working with an astronomer despite being black. Basically, it’s Hidden Figures only further in the past and fully fictional. It’s fantastic. In theory, I adore this ship. Stephen’s totally in love with Rose’s nerdiness and brilliance. He’s not nearly as smart as she is, and he basically just wants to listen to her talk about maths, which is a sign you’ve got it really bad. He makes math puns at her, and he genuinely takes an interest. It’s so good in theory. Unfortunately, he’s punny and jokey, and Rose is straightforward and earnest. They almost literally do not speak the same language. They can’t get a really good back and forth going, because she doesn’t always understand his joking, and he has so much trouble being earnest. A bantery person can have great chemistry with a non-bantery person; many comedic duos consist of the funny guy and the straight man. However, Rose isn’t playing straight for humor; she’s generally confused by it. Stephen’s always going to default to joking. I was actually more invested in Rose’s sister’s childbirth than in the ship, which will tell you how much into it I was. I don’t unship it, but I just don’t feel a damn thing from it. I sure wish I did. There’s good stuff here, but as an actual romance Talk Sweetly to Me flubs it. (Now that I’m done, I hope I can stop singing Talk Sweetly to Me in Jason Derulo style.

Sebastian & Violet uses science words, Lydia & Dr Jonas use medical words, and Free and Edward punctuation… Christina Franke says: Looking back, I can kind of see that, and I know her sex scenes do stay exciting, which is often not true when you’ve read more than one romance by the same author. I’ll have to keep a closer eye out when I reread! Jolien @ The Fictional Reader says: I love your mini reviews of this series. You’ve definitely made me want to read them!	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3499

I threaten daily to cease this letter and let pass a relationship which might only serve to irritate rather than uplift. But there are other times I still hope that you will find at least my articulation of a life lived, more helpful than the bone silence of an empty past, that if you can not share my current faith, then you might perhaps share the humility granted to me in a strong sense of failure and unfulfilled promise, a pale writer without an unequivocal cause within which to write. When I speak of failure and unfulfilled promise, I speak of my own, of course. My temple of flesh and sinew is a wreck, but I stagger immutable among the soaring pressures amidst the love of Jesus. Why should I not? If he is still Jewish, perhaps I still have a shot at likeability. I have read this, and I have heard this so many times uttered by so many with far greater tragedy to overcome, I would be a most princely fool not to believe it for myself as well. Thundering in the well-worn, much treasured Ferrar Fenton you gave me, John 7:63 quotes Christ as saying, “The Spirit is the Life-Giver; the body is worth nothing.” You and I both know the body psychologically influences and instructs the mind and hence the spirit, but I traverse among those who have long despised and mocked the body in order to elevate or at least test the spirit, to allow oneself to be exposed to the same ridicule that others less fortunate or less inspired fall prey to, a costly assault to common sense so that I might more closely understand the struggles of the negro, the corpulent, the drunk, the jobless, the ignorant, the young, the illiterate, the fiendish, the mutterer. True, the preceding is probably the most blatantly transparent rationalizing statement you’ve ever seen in print, but did not Christ become flesh for quite similar reasons? Jesus is quoted in Matthew 12:32 as saying, “And if one gives expression to a thought against the Son of Man, he may be forgiven; but if one shall speak insultingly of the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither at the present time, nor in the future. Assume the tree to be good, when its fruit is good; or assume that the tree is worthless when its fruit is worthless, for the tree is known by its fruit. You venomous breed! how can you preach purity, when you are yourselves depraved? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart! The beneficent man draws from his treasury of purity, goodness; and the depraved man can produce only depravity, from his stores of depravity! I tell you, however, that every vile idea that men give expression to, they shall render a reason for it in the Day of Judgment. For by your thoughts you will be acquitted, and by your thoughts you will be convicted.” She has tried with some minor success to understand the character of my apocalyptic rantings. Raised as a standard Sunday best southern Methodist, she is rather unlearned and disinterested in all things biblical, but I can tell you with exact reasoning without stutter or frosting that ten indubitable years of marriage has marked my wife Sue as the most charitable, unpretentious and giving person I have ever known, quite in line with St.Paul’s own description of that term. Down to brass tacks, sir. I feel and have very nearly always felt since my introduction to christianity that I am the most depraved creature patrolling the face of planet earth. Just plain, unremarkable dirt, filthy pilfered rags when compared to so many offering so much. My self-loathing tricks my brain and ribs my body into its own condemnation. I do not, dare not, can not envy others simply because I recognize no other way of being anyone or anything but that person I already am. I exist and attempt righteousness but whimper and stutter or stomp and bellow only among the truly impoverished who despite a galloping pride seem to lack a healthy provision of bean and worm, creeping along a daily bread route with very few values at all but next next drink or the next morsel. But these are my boyz—a useless lot—and I seem to be their keeper. When I try to raise myself to a leveled station I quickly fall sick with false pride—the code of the road in most circles of squander—unable to sustain myself in any sophistried prison of spiritual or corporeal relief, thus forfeiting any sort of normalcy my wife, bless her heart, with long suffering patience in every matter still seeks to encourage. While certainly not one to disparage the American middle class existence, I tamper with its ideals, tending to become a spur in the easy cheer of the self-possessed, suggesting chaos to the measured chaste if they use it like a weapon, while mandating order among the sluggards and tragic pit crew whose awkward desperation disgusts me into those rare moments of feeling justified in waving my own benevolence to and fro like a victory flag in an unwinnable war. Yet now I’m weary of that shallow casting of loafers and unappreciative usurpers. And so I hurl myself even lower into the whirling bowels of self-justified exile, blustering agoraphobia, and noisy withdrawl from all things human but language, and its manipulation, or usage, if this latter word better fits your notions of what I am supposed to say to he who is trying so hard to be a man of biblical times, if not biblical proportions. But I seemed be more more supernaturally drawn to embrace a style of antibravissimo, for the rain knows not its own exemplary moves. Random events add up to a lifetime. Now that can be a lifetime of random events, or perhaps these events mean something. You thought our meeting was not a random event, but an ordained one. Either it is all ordained, or nothing is. Otherwise, it's all just a big stupid guessing game. Why rest one's fate on a guessing game? Either God pulled us together, or you just randomly hired on to the same company for which I was setting elevations on hubs in the ground so the grade operator could load and scrape the figure 8, so that one fine day in the roaring 1980s, designated Houston Metropolitan Police Academy cadets could practice their turns on what would be a concrete or macadam track when we were done. You know, I could load this page up with scripture, but suffice it to say, I have chosen the never a chance meeting approach. All is ordained! I needed no mollifying label like automatic writing or any such creative writing jargon to prompt me in this venture. But I keep forgetting. You found all creative writing except to the newspapers and surveyor's notes full of spiritual traps and avenues for self-glorification. But I finally rejected all that non-sense. I was choosing my world, and it wasn't yours. Many who have sat at a white sheet of paper in the typewriter stares in a daze, even those who craft their self-importance with writing to the editor. Sure beats randomness, and it sure as hell beats this on again off again presence of God so many people offer. Have you ever noticed how God is always spoken about in the third person by prayerful folks on the street, at the pulpit, in a sermon, on TV, in a book, almost everywhere except in prayer, when these same prayerful folks seemingly get to talk to Him person to person, gets to carry on long cozy face to face conversations in which God gets to tells them things, helps his praying folk with the higher math of consequential everyday life, offering much-acclaimed advice to these people. Yes. I've always found this a bit odd about how people talk about God behind His back, nope there He is, Pastor Harper is about to pray, he's a knocking, there He is, hey God's here, and now we can have a good chat, ain't that right, Father? Then when I say amen, you'll go back to tending Your Own Business, and I'll get back to tending my, I mean, your sheep. Was fun talking, though, while I had you on the line. As you might imagine, these rages of antibravissimo against self and society in general grind harshly against the softer wisdoms of my wife. She has tried with some minor success to understand the character of my apocalyptic rantings. Raised as a standard Sunday best southern Methodist, she is rather unlearned and disinterested in all things biblical, but I can tell you with exact reasoning without stutter or frosting that ten indubitable years of marriage has marked my wife Suzette as the most charitable, unpretentious and giving person I have ever known, quite in line with St.Paul’s own description of that term. Her hard work outside the home and her generosity inside the home plus my own passion for canon and understanding make for an odd couple but as those who know us both seem called upon to declare—we seem made for each other, a condition I realize you still believe about your estranged Ann and yourself. But I am getting ahead of the story. The year is 1982. It is November. I am living in an agreeable efficiency apartment on Peachtree Street across from the famous Fox Theatre in Midtown Atlanta. I am firing off an unsung poem entitled The White Crow. I finish the first draft of the poem in half an hour or so with little realization of what I had written. A simple word purge. This was quite common at the time, as I would set myself in front of the typewriter and empty page, trancelike (without drugs or alcohol—George, despite your strong counsel, but weak presumptions, and tedious accusations, I couldn't write, drive, or dance while stoned because my mind couldn't sit still when writing, I lost lost directional and memory, thus, motor skills when driving, and preferred to organize or do manual work I couldn't ordinarily find the motivation to do when someone asked me to dance, so I would oblige myself a couple of hits instead if available), allowing random words and phrases to filtrate through my subconscious and write themselves down without regard to formula or preconception. I needed no mollifying label like automatic writing or any such creative writing jargon to prompt me in this venture. But I keep forgetting. You found all creative writing except to the newspapers and surveyor's notes full of spiritual traps and avenues for self-glorification. But I finally rejected all that non-sense. I was choosing my world, and it wasn't yours. Many who have sat at a white sheet of paper in the typewriter have stared for long periods in a white daze, even those who craft their self-importance with writing to the editor. Technique was merely how I emptied my mind of current data thresholds, broken phraseology or whatever recently overheard soundbytes and floating images my mind grabbed randomly from the newspaper or street, occasioning no mystery or cult behavior, simply the jotting down of environmental biases and random momentary influences, going with the flow, accepting at first draft what the synapses bred. Three days later on November 13, 1982, I was rereading the page and a half I had written without thinking too much about the piece at the time. There in the bottom third of the front page were the ordaining words—And I took the name Gabriel Thy!

Secretary have them? If you know the rank and unit and the correct way to address letters to any of our members on Service, this information also is wanted. Then the Club can write to these lads the same kind of community letters as those we send to the Rootses from time to time, and in this and other ways keep them up-to-date with the doings on the old bush tracks. By the Bushwalking Trustees People don't often find pleasure in having to spend money, but the Trustees of Bouddi Natural Park really did find a lot of pleasure in spending many twopences on stamps to write and thank the many people who helped in the working bee in May. As a result of the working bee three footpaths were made and together these provide possibly the finest scenic half day's walk within easy reach of Sydney, especially as it is combined with a beautiful train journey and boat trip. Probably in these troubled times few visitors will be in Sydney, but, if there should be any such who require to be entertained with a bushwalk, bear in mind that Putty Beach to Maitland Bay via the cliffs, back up the tourist track and then along the ridge between Putty Beach and Maitland Bay and so back to Killcare, will give them views of ocean and headland that it would take a lot to surpass. Then there is the shelter shed. That was the work that meant most, for Harry Savage, a carpenter by profession, very kindly gave up a whole weekend to a busman's holiday, and there are few willing to do that. This will now provide good drinking water at Maitland Bay. Over sixty people foregathered for the path-making weekend and over twenty-five for the shelter shed one. Together they formed the first major working bee that the Federation has organised, and it is suggested that there might well be one such in different parks during each quarter of the cooler months. All seemed to enjoy themselves immensely and some reported that the camp fire was the best they had ever attended. So when we can combine a bit of work for the benefit of the bushwalking movement with a lot of pleasure for ourselves, well, why not? On Paddy Pallin's suggestion we have arranged for Mr Dunlop at Little Beach and Miss Hulme at the Putty Beach end to provide hut accommodation for walkers, so if you know of any less “tuff” walkers who don't like camping as much as we ourselves do, you know where to send them for a pleasant weekend ramble. by The Trimble Well, here's something different. Of course, the Tigers would not even consider such a trip as this, but the hard worked Sec. and his assistant and three other folk had a very enjoyable trip and pass on the information for those not so tough as the Tigers. Firstly, we proceeded to Blackheath on Saturday afternoon, then by car to the “Summit” notice on the Jenolan Road (beyond Hampden). The sun set ominously and provided some splendid entertainment, We picked up water, for Saturday's dinner and Sunday's breakfast, at a well along the road as water was a myth in those parts. When left by the wayside by the car, we went east among the trees to find a campsite. The chopped granite was not all we could have wished as a bed, but the plentiful supply of wood made up for that, and, in spite of the storm which broke during the night, we slept well. Fortunately too, the storm didn't come below the tree tops, which whipped in the wind and created quite a commotion. Sunday morning was foggy, so we put our trust in the leader, and eventually picked up the Mini Mini Range, which provides splendid walking and views which we could not fully see through the fog. After some miles we found ourselves out on a side spur overlooking Little River, with the range proper shooting out to our left. As time was short, we decided to go down to the river by the most direct route, and found ourselves in the finest treefern gully I've ever seen - treeferns ten to twelve feet high, with perfect green fronds, and beskirted with lacy petticoats of old brown fronds. It has licked hollow my memory of the fern gully on Wilson's Promontory, which had been the finest I'd seen before this trip. We left the packs in the gully and scrambled up the ridge opposite, to find the range proper - and Gibraltar Rocks - still one spur further on. The spur up which we had climbed was as high, and provided splendid views, and, the fog having cleared, we saw “The Dogs” from quite a different angle. Then, after scuttling back to fairyland and packs, we lunched and proceeded downstream. It was easier to sidle round the foothills than to scramble down the creek, and soon we were almost at Little River. There our creek emptied into the river there was a drop of about 150 feet - most unexpected and exciting as we followed odd wallaby trails to the bottom. Little River was a very cheering sight as it burbled through the gorge, and one almost forgot that the gums on the hills were dying of thirst. We made camp a couple of miles above the Cox and were soon eating in the moonlight which dappled through the trees. As we had not covered the expected distance for Sunday we broke camp earlier on Monday, just before eight, and it wasn't long before we reached the Cox, and some of the Campfire Club about to breakfast. The Cox is very dry-looking and we hear that cows had died, three to the mile, along the river. We were fortunate as we didn't see one between Little River and Galong Creek. Galong Creek was dry - very dry - and was not half as exciting as when the water rushed through. Just the same, to those unacquainted with its lovely granite forges and slides, it was interesting and added quite a thrill. Mrs. Carlon, welcomed us as warmly as ever and we lunched beside their creek. As we trekked back to Katoomba via the Devil's Hole, it seemed that half the bushwalking fraternity was doing likewise. For variety the trip has much to commend it, and one could do it in two days by leaving on Friday night. Happy hunting, and I hope that you find it as good as we did.

Morrie has joined the A.I.F.! We understand that it is to be “Business as Usual” though, as Morris's partner, Mr. Bird, will carry on the practice in his absence. An Indian was asked, “Don't you ever get lost in the great, dark woods?” Slowly and with dignity he replied, “Indian never lost; wig-wam sometimes lost ”.

Thanking you for your continued airing of our doings. E. Caines Phillips Convenor. Mapping Committee, R.C.C. Your editorial in the May issue of “The Sydney Bushwalker” was certainly a wise one in so far as “safety first” bushwalking is concerned. But, as a member who frequently enjoys a bushwalking trip alone, I thought the editorial exaggerated the dangers of a person walking with but himself (or herself). You have dealt solely upon the dangers that may be encountered, and not at all upon the pleasures that are to be gained. I, like all others in the club, would not be a member if I preferred always to walk alone. I must state, however, that the solo trips I have made have been enjoyable ones. In the bush when one is alone, his senses of hearing and discernment are greatly accentuated, and it is alone that I see more bush life and have more appreciation for the scenery. I have found that it is not the sound of human footsteps but the sound of human voices that frightens the wild life. Bush-walkers, for some reason or other, do not appreciate long periods of silence. Therefore, if one wants to seek the wild life of the bush he must occasionally go alone. It is when I am without human companions that the birds seem more friendly; more wallaroos and kangaroos are encountered, and it is when alone that I think I have more chance of glimpsing that shy creature, the wombat. Who among us knows that tortoises inhabit the Coxs River and Kedumba Creek, and that in National Park - despite the numbers of roads that have been made a large number of opossums still exist? It was in this National Park of ours, a place so often spoken ill of (and not always wrongly so) that I spent one of my most enjoyable nights in the bush. Camped alone under a moonless but starry sky, I had for companions that night not only the deer that grazed about me, but half a dozen or more opossums that frolicked on the grass around me. I did not think these creatures were so tame. They squatted on the groundsheet along side me, and had I been brave enough I could have leaned forward and rubbed noses with them. Had I been with a crowd I feel sure I would not have witnessed these things. There are many pleasures for the lone, “foolish as well as selfish bush-walker” and, I know, some dangers too, the chief of which are accidents involving broken limbs. The dangers of snakes can be discounted because from my experience of them they will not attack unless provoked. The broken limb is a different proposition and I realise that it something that can possibly happen, and which, perhaps, can mean death on some lonely mountain range. But if, through the ages, man had always dwelt on death, and avoided an activity that involved a possible accident (and possibly death arising therefrom,) I do not think he would have accomplished half as much in the world as he has. The pleasures that are gotten from an occasional bushwalking trip alone are well worth running what risks may exist. Bill Hall. To the Hon. Secretary, Sydney Bushwalkers. I have noticed in some recent issues of the “Sydney Bush Walkers” that reference is made to Mounts Caley and Catey on the northern brink of the Grose Valley easterly from Mount King George, and as there seems to be some confusion in the names I thought that a note might elucidate the subject. Although the name shown on the Military Map for Katoomba is “Catey”, the correct name should be “Caley” and probably should be more westerly than is indicated by either the military map or the walkers' Blue Mountain map, The name is, of course, derived from George Caley, the explorer, who made an expedition to Mount King George (named by Caley “Mount Banks”) in 1804, but Caley never reached either the place shown on the Blue Mountains map as Mount Caley or the eminence westerly from it which is shown on a sketch in the “Sydney Bushwalker” as Mount Caley. The Geological Survey Records show that the name of Mount Caley was recommended by the late J.E. Carne, Geological Surveyor, for an “eminence easterly from Mount King George”, but the exact situation of the Mount has not, so far as I can determine, ever been fixed. This was done as a belated attempt to commemorate the name of Caley in the district which he explored in 1804, (vide Geological Survey Records - Bulletin on Western Coalfield, 1905). The only conclusion to be drawn in respect of the military map is that the name “Catey” is an error and that Caley was intended. I have proposed for some time past taking this up with the military authorities, but have not yet done so. R. Else Mitchell. Easily the most important piece of news that came to the S.B.W's June meeting from the May meeting of the Federation Council was this:- As the result of an interview which Mr. W. Holesgrove, President of the Federation, had with officials of the Chief Secretary's Dept., bush walkers are asked to submit suggested improvements to the Birds and Animals Protection Act and other protective Acts. The President also reported that if Honorary Rangers find people offending against these Acts they may report the matter to the local Police who will conduct the prosecution. Another piece of good news was that at last the wells at Corral Swamp have been dug. Good work by the C.M.W. ! The Search & Rescue Section asks that the weekend of 14th and 15th September be kept for this year's Practice Weekend. Jack Benson of the C.M.W. has replaced Harold Chardon as Honorary Auditor of the Federation. Details are now announced of the Federation's Photographic Competition, and the Club Secretary has entry forms. The Exhibition which is to be held later in the year before the entries are returned to their owners should be something worth seeing. Anon. Oh, Paddy dear, we knew that you, With ever fertile mind, Would scale invention's giddy heights, And the umbrella find. All hail to you, our Paddy, great, And gamps that you produce, For heat and cold and rain and scrub And bush and Camping use! So, lo! the days are hastening on, By Marie long foretold, When all Bushwalkers sing this song And the Umbrella hold. By “Mumbedah”. After spending a pleasant weekend at the Carlon homestead, I returned to discover, on the following Monday morning, that I had been granted three weeks' leave, commencing on the Thursday. I dug out my sleeping bag and hobnails, covered with ten months dust and spider-web, and weighed anchor once more for Galong Creek, arriving in time to witness Norbert Carlon branding the strays in the old corral. The next few days were spent in pottering around the neighbourhood, hunting the elusive fox with a curved (?) rifle, and stirring up the soil within six feet of sundry bunnies. Between times sun-baking claimed my attention. Then Bert Carlon invited me down to the Cox to trap the unwary rabbit, and I strolled up to Katoomba and back on Monday to fetch a goodly supply of steak and “snags” for our trip. Most of the gear had been taken down by horse on a previous trapping trip by Bert, and we arrived at our camp, about 400 yards below Breakfast Creek, after dark on the Tuesday night. It was not a pleasant experience to have to leave a good fire about 9.30 each evening to “do the rounds” of the traps, and to cross the Cox on a very insecure log with the possibility of wet, cold feet. However, we braved the elements, and returned in triumph with many furry rodents - sometimes. During the days we amused ourselves with setting traps in new places and with journeys on the Cox, up as far as Jenolan River, and down towards the Kanangra. Friday saw us back “home” for lunch and a warmer bed with no hard places in it. Then for Sunday Bert suggested we might go and get some wild goat for the table, so off we went to Little River, where we lunched in Jack Kirby's new hut on his selection just up from the Cox. The goats inhabit a region known locally as Bald Hill, (up on the right of Little River), which is approached by climbing up Slatey Creek - if your heart will stand the strain. This creek abounds with hundreds of rabbits, which appear to be very tame and not used to the presence of man. Arriving at the top, a great view is obtained of the “Dogs” and Narrow Neck Peninsula, with King's Tableland in the background, while Jack's place appears as a doll's house away down below - a mere speck. We only saw an old billy-goat and, as time was pressing, proceeded to look for some mythical rabbit traps hidden in a hollow stump, of which Bert had been informed, but failed to locate them. We descended through Dan Dwyer's property and discovered we could not cut back down towards Little River as the side of the spur in that direction was almost vertical. Eventually we came down at Dyson's old place at Gibraltar Creek, raced down the Cox, collected our gear at Jack's place and up that seemingly never-ending Black Jerry's Ridge. It was dark before we reached the top, and having no torches, did some glissading, on the dry gravel, down the “short-cut” to Green Gully. Then up to Katoomba again on Tuesday to meet Alf Watts and his ship-mate Max, to lay in stores for a four-day trip, and come back to Carlon's via scones and blackberry jam and cream at Kirby's. Next night found us at the big creek which rises, or rather falls down, from Queahgong, and from there we moved to Kanangaroo Clearing next a m. We climbed almost up to Mt. Morilla in the afternoon and obtained a “close-up” of Kanangra Walls, our cameras emitting buzzing and clicking sounds respectively. On Friday came the big wind and the dust and the flying branches, AND the bent tent pegs. It was found necessary to place large stones on every peg and guy-rope, so strong was the gale, That night we had the pleasure of the company of Norbert and Bert, who were on “the last round-up” before the terrible drought takes its toll of all the cattle in the Cox. Away to a flying start on Saturday morn, we ascended Yellow Pup and climbed into the saddle between Mt.Dingo and Merri-Merrigal Plateau, carrying water for lunch. We visited the glorious Splendour Rock, THE view of views, and my shipmates were enraptured with the panorama. Thence away along the old Warrigal “wombat-parade” and the Black Dog Track to Carlons once again! Max went home on Sunday, and as Bert had left his “mustering” hat at Jack Kirby's on our previous visit, Alf and I volunteered to retrieve it, so after lunch we sped down to Little River and were welcomed with a cup of tea from the kindly Jack. We arrived back at 6.45 p m. but with a torch this time. Whilst at Kanangaroo we had had a fleeting impression of “Slinker” Salmon and his fishy crew whizzing by in a swirl of gum-leaves en route for an easy weekend ramble over Kanangra walls and the Kowmung, and, thought we, “Can we not do something”? We had no supplies, but conceived the idea of a visit to Blue Gum Forest as a change from the Cox Valley. Up to this day (Sunday) I had walked just 152 Miles in the previous twenty three days, and had hoped to do the 200 before my leave expired on the following Tednesday night. Daringly I suggested the Grose, but the thought followed “It cannot be done in the time”. We remembered, however, the “Tigers” had gone through in two days to Richmond, “And”, I argued, “if a slip of a girl like Hilma could do it, so can we!” Leaving the Carlons in a state of apprehension, I am sure, regarding our mental stability, we darted up to Katoomba and laid in stores and a good lunch and found we had to wait until 2.10pm, for a conveyance to Govett's Leap. In the meantime, I shed all my surplus gear, even my camera, and entrusted them to the tender care of the Department of Railways for transmission to the address stated thereon. Leaving the Leap at 2.45 we sprang down the steps to the amazement of sundry tourists, and crossed Govett's Leap Creek three times with a smother of foam across our bows. I remember a blue flash which, I think, was The Forest, and we dropped anchor under the shadow of Mt. Hay at 5.30pm. Up and away in a frenzy of effort and activity at 7.30am, we streaked along the undulating leafy track, the deeply-fissured cliffs of Mt. King George just a memory, Mt.Caley only a boulder on the track. Five minutes rest was taken at 10.30 and the fires within were stoked with chocolate and sultanas. The track here was good underfoot, but was only a tunnel about three feet high under heavy rain forest growth, intertwined with lawyer vines and creepers of all descriptions, and non-descriptions. The only method of progress was to place the head level with the knees and part the track therewith, receiving many a whack on the face and ears, to the accompaniment of foul oaths and questions of the ancestral relations of certain plants. Forty minutes for lunch allowed us to straighten our backs, and later the track became less congested, but wandered up and down the average 45° sloping bank, at one place climbing to 100ft above the river to round a spur. The river itself is a mass of boulders and consists mainly of a chain of long pools connected by cascades over and round huge rocks. Four fortyfive found us crossing Wentworth Creek and 3/4 hour later we slithered to a standstill at the junction of Linden Creek, and acquired one of the many good caves which abound there. We had no map, and had no idea how far we had to go on the morrow, and, as my leave expired at 8am Thursday, we decided to get away to a flying start next morning. We arranged for either to wake the other about as early as practicable, and spent the night flashing the torch on the watch at frequent intervals, and consulting the sky, which had clouded over in a threatening manner. Despite the simmering of the rolled oats by candle light before the break of day, we did not stagger on our way until 7.30am when the worst part of the trip began. Between Linden Creek and the Faulconbridge Track there is no defined track, just a jumble of boulders thickly interwoven with kanuka trees, which have branches right down to the ground. The recent bushfires had caused huge redgums to crash all over the route, and if attempts were made to keep to the ledges of strata high up, one nearly always was left in midair up on the cliff side and had to retrace his steps. The distance between these points is about 1 3/4 miles as the crow flies, maybe less, and it required 1 hour 55 min to cover it! Judging by the litter, we guessed rightly we were at the Faulconigridge Track, and whooped for joy at the prospect of a better track. But Old Man Fire had left us, and fallen timber and stabs from burnt sticks left a trail of skin and blood as a guide to those who follow. We gladly unsaddled at noon on a sandy bank, and boiled the billy and ate our remaining tucker. Much revived, we cracked on the pace on the sandy trackland cut out of the river at the first farm, and on to a dusty road, with snarling farmdogs at our heels. We then met a local who told us the latest war news, and sped on, greatly relieved that we would be home that night and without worry about leave. It was this, I believe, which kept us at the double on the trip. The old Nepean hove in sight and we stopped to wash the layers of dirt from our pedal extremities and were astounded at the magnitude of the scratches on our legs which the water and soap revealed. Then 2 1/2 miles of hard road to Richmond Town, which we reached about 4.30, much to our surprise as I had counted on catching the last train, with luck. It was a great end to the most enjoyable 200 miles of walking I have ever done, and despite the difficulties of the last two days, I can say “I done the Grose”. What is the difference between a Bushwalker and a Bushfire? A Bushfire travels fastest uphill. LOST, stolen or strayed from the custody of Jack Debert, one valuable English epistle received from New Zealand some months ago. This is serious Dot wrote this letter in pencil on both sides of exercise book paper - about 40 pages altogether - and asked Jack to circulate it among Club members and then let her have it back as she had no other diary of that trip. Did you see the letter? Did you pass it on to someone else? Who was it? Can you help to trace it? It is now a matter of months since it was seen. As Jack Debert is now on Service, will anyone having the letter or knowing where it is please see that the Hon. Secretary gets it as soon as possible. He has undertaken to return it to Dot English for Jack. LOST, at a Reunion, either Federation or S.B.W., one new, clean, sound Water Bucket labelled “TUGGIE” (Keepsake) - The reward, a clear conscience, will be obtained by forwarding this bucket to Doreen Harris. Those members who have paid their subscriptions can feel virtuous and skip this paragraph. Those members who have not yet paid will feel guilty and probably skip it too. To catch their eyes we use large type to remind everyone that SUBSCRIPTIONS BECAME DUE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING FOUR MONTHS AGO, so if you are unfinancial you are a member only on sufferance of the Committee. DON'T DELAY any longer, SEE ME and PAY UP! BILL HALL, Hon. Treasurer, Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away; And come I may, but go I must, and if men ask you why, You may put the blame on the stars and the sun and the white roads and the sky! Gerald Gould. Of course, you all know the River Canoe Club's “super” annual - “Splashes”! Something has happened to “Splashes”, but apparently even the River Canoe Club is not sure what. Their Secretary wrote to our Secretary — “I regret to inform you that this publication is now deceased, temporarily anyway.” — and then he sent along “Splashes” Quarterly, No.1 1940! We are not quite sure whether this is to be considered the ghost of the Annual, or a re-incarnation, or a descendent, or just another form of the same insect. It is very confusing, this “temporarily dead” business. Anyway, we definitely enjoyed reading the Quarterly and consider it an, improvement on the last Annual we waded through. Being mere walkers, we are not keen on that aquatic sport so were happy to find that with this issue we could just sit back and be wafted along by a steady breeze of humour. We'll say no more about it now, it is “a River Canoe Club Publication” and they are selling it for 6d a copy, so buy one for yourself. In Vol 1. No.2 of the “Camp Fire Club Magazine” we were particularly interested in two articles by Bill Hagan “The Murderer”, whose carelessness started a bushfire, and “I Was a Bushwalker” (part one), a flight of the imagination. Fancy having to wait from April till July for part two to appear in this young quarterly! And before then some of his readers might have “bushwacked” the author - or does he go armed like Ned Kelly? Here is an important paragraph from an article on The Compass which appeared in “The Tararua Tramper”, Wellington, N.Z., for May 1940:- “Unless evidence such as badly damaged case or pivot or filling with water or rust is evident, confidence in the instrument you are using is essential and it must be relied on in spite of 'hunches' 'feelings' and 'ideas' as to 'where is which'.” What memories those words conjure up! Among them some words of wisdom of Harold Chardon in an article on the same subject which appeared in “The Sydney Bushwalker” in September' l938:- “In using the compass, several considerations must be kept in mind. The compass is a very sensitive instrument, and is easily affected by the presence of iron. Such things as steel rucksack frames, iron belt-buckles, or even iron wire fences, will cause a considerable error in the results obtained with a compass, while another compass in the vicinity will make a sensitive instrument do all manner of things it shouldn't do.” !!! How many Australian-born bushwalkers realise the difficulty any experienced hiker, rambler, or woodsman from the Northern Hemisphere must have it adjusting himself and finding his way if he cotes to the Southern Hemisphere, where the sun goes in reverse? This paragraph from the “Bulletin” of the Mountain Club of Maryland, of Baltimore U.S.A., stresses that point:- “If lost in the woods, your watch is a compass as long as the sun shines. Point the hour hand at the sun and the south is halfway between the hour hand and the figure 12 on the dial.” In “sunny New South Wales” we often use our watches as compasses without being lost, but, as the sun here goes north, not south, we point the figure 12 at the sun and know that half way between it and the hour-hand is north not “magnetic north, nor “true north”, but “approximately north” because of our arbitrarily fixed “Eastern Standard Time”, but still near enough to north for most bushwalking purposes. Are there, any anthropologists, ethnologists, or what-have-yous in the bushwalking movement? One of the joys of such folk is to trace a fairytale round the world, or, alternatively, to decide to their own satisfaction that, “This people must have moved away from the centre of civilization of that time and migrated at least part way to their present home after such and such a date but, before such and such a happening, because they brought such and such a custom or word with them but there is no trace of any knowledge of such and such a folksong.” If any bushwalker would like to take up that kind of detective work, he (or she) might start a search for the origin of the word “cuppa” and the direction of its travels, for it crops up in the publications of bushwalking, camping, tramping, hiking, or rambling clubs in many parts of the world. This time our, old friend “cuppa” was met in the “Bulletin” for May 1940, of the Te Hapukoa Tramping Club of Christchurch, N.Z. From the same source comes this paragraph:- “It is proposed to send our soldier, sailor and airforce members the 'Bulletin' every month to let them see what's happening and to keep them in touch with the activities of their Club. Will members who have the addresses of our active service members please supply me with them as soon as possible”. That seems a good idea, doesn't it? If it were done by our Club in addition to remitting the subscriptions of members on active service, it might lead to an increase in the sub, to the remaining members, or to an increase in the price of the “Sydney Bushwalker”, but if individual members subscribed to our magazine for their friends and handed in the 4/- with the address to which it was to be posted for a year, the Club could continue to jog along at the old rate of ten shillings a year which is so convenient to hand over to the Treasurer. It is surprising, though, how many of them are overdue now. Another wartime idea comes from the Melbourne Women's walking Club, which is forming its own “Work Circle”. This will meet one night a week to sew and knit. It is intended to vary the night each week so that everyone will have a chance to go along, and the meetings will take place at the homes of members so there will be no rent to pay. Can you guess which girl member of the S.B.W. I can hear (in imagination) saying – “If our Club started a 'Work Circle', all the girls would have to go along. The only way to protect one's reputation from a gathering like that is to be present; then they can't talk about you!…….much. What can we do to help? This question is exercising the minds of men and women throughout Australia. To us Bushwalkers several things stand out clear. Bushwalking and life in the out o'doors has helped us to keep fit. Not merely to be in that neutral state of health that enables us to avoid sickness but to be so full of health and vigour that we can cheerfully face whatever is ahead with courage and resolution. Mentally too, through years of camping we have become accustomed to making the best use of whatever lies at hand, to improvise and make shift. We can read a map and use a compass, some of us have a practical knowledge of first aid. We have an intimate knowledge of the rugged coastlands and of that wilderness we know as the Blue Mountains. We have a hardly won knowledge of bushcraft and pathfinding. We can live for weeks at a time with nothing else but the load we carry on our backs. Who knows how soon this ability and knowledge may be the means of saving our lives or more important be of immeasurable service to Australia, PADDY PALLIN, 327 George Street, Cupid is still fluttering around. A happy announcement is the engagement of Betty to ex-prospective George Walker, who was transferred to Newcastle before he had completed his test walks, but who visited the Club Rooms with her the other evening resplendent in the uniform of a lieutenant of the A.I.F. We send them both greetings and our good wishes. We have not seen Molly Astridge for a long time, but she has been very busy preparing for her wedding. July 6th is the day she has named. Perhaps Molly has been cautious as well as busy; a lot of the girls met Mr. Arthur Waller when he came to the Club Rooms with Molly soon after they were engaged, and they all congratulated Molly very sincerely. We always knew Molly was a nice girl with good taste, and we wish them both “All the Best”. Although the resigned from the S.B.W., some months ago, all the not-so-new members will remember Frank Whiddon and be glad to hear of his marriage to Nell Herring, an ex-prospective of the Club. Though they are no longer of us, we hope to meet them out camping from time to time, and send them, too, our good wishes. The first Dance of the season was held at Sargents on 28th May. The fun was fast and furious in spite of the shortage of girls. As the girls arrived they were swept into the dance by the waiting queue of partnerless boys, and their own poor partners who, like real gentlemen, had allowed the lady to enter the room first, were left to tail on to the end of the waiting queue! Take heed, boys, there is to be a Super Dance, a Dinner Dance, at Elizabeth Bay House, on Wednesday, 28th August! Save up your pennies! The girls will all be there. At the June Meeting Vice-President Edna Garrad filled the Chair very capably. Apparently President Richard Croker is too enthralled with his daughter to spare a Friday evening for his old friends of the S.B.W. The Nattai Tableland is becoming too well known. It has now been visited by at least two parties, to our certain knowledge. No, the King's Birthday Official did not go up Martin's Creek. We hear they even ignored Starlight's Track and found a new way of their own up to Mittagong. No, no one was late for work. Talking of “officials”, “Jack's Last Walk” was a wow. All the lads and all the bright young things in the Club turned out, and they were all determined to make it a walk of walks.

Beaver in the march issue of the magazine. As anything to do with Kanangra fascinates me, I thought I would pen a few lines on what this very special area means to me. My special Spirit of Place is an area that extends from Katoomba to Kanangra and includes the Cox, Megalong Valley, Jenolan Caves and the Kowmung River. I have had a lifelong love affair with this country and my spirit lifts as I climb the mountains feeling like a horse heading for home. My earliest memory of the mountains was when I was four years old and my parents took me to Katoomba for a weekend. I can clearly remember standing at Echo Point staring at the mist in the valley below and saying to my father “But Dad why is the sky down on the ground”. During that weekend I was taken on a walk through the Federal Pass (not bad for a four year old). I was spellbound. The smell of the rainforest, the mist, the cold clear air and the mysterious something about the place that has stayed with me ever since that day. My family often took me to the mountains after that weekend and we often stayed at Jenolan Caves. My love for this place simply increased. I first visited Kanangra on a Senior Scout excursion when I was sixteen. The kids were all crowded onto the back of a tabletop truck and we left Sydney on Friday night camping at Lett River. Next day we drove to Kanangra and I remember the feeling when we rounded the bend in the road and I caught my first glimpse of this magic place. It was exactly the same feeling that I remembered when I was a toddler at Echo Point. My love affair with the mountains had been consummated and I was hooked for life. Shortly after then I joined a bushwalking club and took advantage of every opportunity to return to my special place. That was back in the 1950s and there were not as many cars around. Most of our Kanangra trips took place on long weekends. We would catch the train to Blackheath where we would then hire a big old fashioned cab from “Hatswells Taxis”. We would be dropped off at Kanangra, often in the middle of a raging storm or snowfall. From then on it was up to us to walk back out. In those days walkers camped in the Dance Hall Cave. The wooden dance floor was still there and we usually threw our sleeping bags down on the rough boards and after a good stiff swig of rum to counter the cold and the cheap sleeping bag that was about all I could afford on an apprentices wages, we made the most of the night. Unfortunately, the dance floor no longer exists as vandals gradually dismantled it for firewood. The old-timers built dance floors at Kanangra and in the Grand Arch at Jenolan Caves. The locals used to ride out from Oberon for bushdances. What a great experience it must have been to have danced the night through to the music of the local bush fiddler or concertina player. In the last century visitors to Jenolan used to travel on foot or by horseback from Tarana. The first caretaker was Jeremiah Wilson. He used to run what he called smoke concerts in the Grand Arch where visitors would dance by the light of a huge smoky fire. At midnight he would climb on top of a huge boulder called Camp Rock and crack his bullock whip. That was the signal that the party was over and it was time to roll out the swags and turn in for a good nights sleep before the hardships involved in exploring the caves the next day. Early in the 1960s Lynn and I were married and we were lucky enough to live at Jenolan caves. I landed a job as a caves guide and Lynn worked at the little Post Office. Two of our children were born at nearby Oberon Hospital. On our days off we were able to drive to Kanangra and really get to know the place. I had an Irish mate who was a keen trout fisherman and he taught me to catch fish in the upper Kowmung. We used to scramble down Murdering Gully to Kanangra Creek where we pulled out quite a few uneducated trout. I also got to know quite a bit about the history of the area. Did you know that the first ladder from the cave up to the Plateau was log with steps hewn by the Aboriginals. The first permanent ladder was an old set of redundant caves steps from Jenolan which was erected by the great caves explorer James Wyburd around 1891. The present route was blasted out of the rock during World War 2 as an emergency escape route for people and stock should there be a Japanese invasion. The Kanangra road was constructed in 1940 despite much opposition from bushwalkers. There is a marvellous camp fire yarn concerning a headless ghost that appears an dark stormy nights on the tops. I quote a description given by an old bushwalker, Jim Barrett in his much recommended book “Kanangra Walls”. “The legend of Headless Rider Point and its mysterious horse and rider goes back to the very early days of cattle running around Kanangra Walls. Drovers often saw the horse and rider at night time, and generally during a storm. When camped near the point they would hear a horse madly charging up through the forested gap towards them. Illuminated by the flare from the camp fire, they would see a beautiful white horse, spurred mercilessly on by its rider… and the dark rider had always been headless. The horse always had failed to take the turn to the left and plunged out into the gorge with a shriek”. Perhaps on one dark stormy night an overdue SBW party will be battling along the plateau towards cars at Kanangra. The wind will be howling and the clouds and sleet scudding across the moon when suddenly a horse and rider…….. By Helen Gray Last month on Jamberoo Mountain 120 people gathered to celebrate the 95th birthday of Rae Page. Rae and late husband Peter joined SBW in the 1930s. They were, like most members today, city people with city jobs - Rae an accountant and Peter a bank employee. Most people dream their dreams, but the Pages lived theirs. In the 1940s after Peter had returned from the war, they chose the alternative lifestyle. (Or whatever it was called then, probably madness.) On the slopes of Jamberoo Mountain, below the Barren Ground Cliffs, they made their home. Attempts at self-sufficiency, growing vegetables, chooks, goats, a cow, before long even supplemented by the rent from three small holiday cabins they built. Bushwalkers and like-minded people have been staying there ever since. The Pages kept their interest in bushwalking and especially SBW, and always made bushwalkers welcome when they passed through. Decades ago they were made honorary members of our club. Rae is still very much a Sydney Bushwalker; she has contact with SBWs who stay there, she enjoys our magazine, and with her love of people and her amazing memory, she is very much an active (in interest at least) Sydney Bushwalker. I was lucky enough to first stay at Jamberoo in the early 1950s. I remember Rae and Peter showing me my first lyre-bird's mound and bower-bird's bower, and the magic of glow-worms on a summer's night. It was a wonderful time in my life. And here I was at Jamberoo on a beautiful, clear autumn day over 45 years since my first visit at Rae's birthday celebration. The farm Ben Ricketts is still lovely and unspoiled, the goats are still nibbling and their bells are gently ringing. Rae's garden is still there, now overgrown; but with old fruit trees, daisies, nasturtiums, vegetables gone to seed in glorious confusion. Party organiser Barry Duncan (son of foundation member Frank) lives nearby and gives Rae a hand there days. Was it really 45 years ago, Barry that we had that cow dung slinging fight? (Boys versus girls, and egged -on by the Pages who wanted manure scattered over their paddocks.) Nonogenarian cake maker and fellow organiser Freda Ashby was there, and the octogenarian SBWs were represented by “Mouldy”Harrison and Grace and John Noble. For everyone of us there, right down to the toddlers, Jamberoo is a special place. But most of all, Rae is a very special and much loved person in all our lives. It was a pleasure and privilage to celebrate your birthday with you, Rae. May you have a least 5 more. Frank Rigby I enjoyed reading Frank Davis' article “Red Centre Ramble” in the March issue. However as a bushwalker with a long association with the MacDonnell Ranges, I feel I must make a few comments. Frank seems to have confused the climates of the Top End (eg Darwin) and the Red Centre (eg Alice Springs). The two are totally different. In the centre there is no distinct WET and DRY and no “pre-monsoon storm season”, as he describes it. These seasons belong to the Top End. In the Centre, as far as bushwalkers are concerned, there are two seasons, the HOT and the COOL. Although generally arid or semi-arid, rain can occur at any time of the year, although less so in Spring. In January this year there were floods but I have also been washed out of the MacDonnell Ranges in June. As I suggested in my book “The MacDonnell Ranges”, bushwalking in the Centre should ideally be enjoyed from May to August inclusive. October when Frank was there, is too late in the year, hence the heat and the flies. Having said that, not every winter may be suitable for walking. It pays to keep an eye on the weather pattern of the preceding months. Periods of long drought are definitely not recommended. So there it is. To enjoy the Centre at its best, go in the winter (June and July are usually ideal) and make sure there will be enough water around. The Alice Springs Bush walking Club could help you assess the latter. (Notwithstanding the expert view above, firstly Don and Frank's walk had to fit in with the time available and not the weather and secondly Frank's meteorological observations were derived from NT tourist brochures.

Lucy Moore Most NSW bushwalking clubs are to be offered training materials and best practise manuals to help them train their leaders and members. Under the training policy adopted by the Confederation at the April workshop, club representatives propose to develop resources to ensure all clubs have: knowledge of the new national competency standards access to training materials, probably based on these standards access to a suggested code of practice information about training resources and club skills Some clubs also wanted Confederation to take a a more direct role in delivering courses such as leadership skills, activity-specific skills and train-the-trainer. But the problems of getting enough trainers was seen as a sticking point. While many trainers give generously of their time to train members of their own club, they may be reluctant to train other clubs on a voluntary basis. Introducing fees for participants and payment for trainers was seen as one solution but was held over for further discussion by the Confederation's newly formed training sub-committee. The sub-committee is responsible for implementing the new strategy. To keep its workload to a minimum the sub-committee proposes that clubs nominate a training officer use existing resources wherever possible keep training resource information up to date actively share information with other clubs The need for clubs to have a formal training strategy has been accelerated by the recent publication of ORCA's (Outdoor Recreation Council of Australia) new competency standards for leaders of outdoor activities. Although the standards are yet not mandatory, many walkers fear that land managers and insurance underwriters may eventually insist on compliance by club leaders. While Confederation still rejects the the need for mandatory accreditation of leaders, it does recognise the importance of helping leaders attain minimum standards of competency. Accidents will always happen but by ensuring leaders comply with accepted or common practice, clubs can minimise the risk of negligence claims. The training strategy is the first step in achieving this goal. The NAV Shield is an overnight navigation event where teams of competitors attempt to gain as many points as possible by finding their way, on foot only, through wilderness terrain to premarked check points over an area from 80 to 100 square kilometres. Who will enter. Teams from around Australia will include the Armed Services, Police, Fire Brigades, State Emergency Services, Volunteer Rescue Associations, Confederation of Bushwalkers members and Rogainers. All groups must have current and relevant insurances to undertake this activity. Groups not fitting into the above categories may enter at the discretion of the organisers. Where and when is it The weekend of the 28th and 29th of June. In bushland to the north west of Sydney. To avoid teams gaining unfair advantage, the exact location will only be revealed the week leading up to the event. What do you bring: Each team needs to be self sufficient from the start on Saturday morning until the finish on Sunday afternoon. This means that the two day teams must carry sleeping bags, food, water, shelter and spare clothing for adverse weather. One day teams need not carry shelters or sleeping bags. Regardless of weather conditions, all teams start Saturday morning at 8.45 am. One day teams conclude 7.30 pm Saturday, two day teams conclude 2.00 pm Sunday afternoon. Organised by The event is organised by the Wilderness Rescue Group. A VRA squad that is run by the Confederation of Bushwalking Clubs of NSW. Since the late 30's the Wilderness Rescue team have been assisting in the rescue of people lost in inaccessible and remote areas of NSW. Wilderness Rescue calls on the skills and experiences of many capable bushwalkers to provide ground teams to search in weather that prohibits flying and in areas that are geographically difficult and remote.

There we were scratching for a quorum, with the president exhorting us to “go unto the highways and byways and compel them to come in”. We eventually rounded up some 16 or so warm bodies and got things underway with apologies for Dot Butler and Jim Callaway. New member Greta Woodward was welcomed in the usual way, and the minutes read and received with no matters arising. Correspondence came in such a rush that some items may have escaped your scribe. There was a letter from Ainslie Morris supporting the decision to not hold a dinner to celebrate the club's 70th anniversary, one from ACF seeking protection for the forests, to Val Lehude at Yerranderie thanking her for assistance to a party in a time of trouble on a recent walk, from Sydney Water providing further information on the process of determining Plans of Management for the catchments, a letter regarding the huts in the Royal, from a Kerry Norris at Bendigo bushwalkers seeking permission to reprint material from a recent Sydney Bushwalker magazine, and from Owen Marks contributing to the debate on the 70th anniversary celebrations. The editor vowed and declared that he would ensure we received the details of the treasurer's report the following day, in consideration of nothing being mentioned in the meeting notes about the absence of the treasurer's report at the meeting. He didn't, it is. We can only hope he is so busy inserting the figures below he doesn't proof read this bit and do some editing. The treasurer's report revealed the following details. Opening balance, $5499, income, $1871, expenditures $680, closing balance $6690. The walks reports began at the weekend of 14, 15, 16 March with another Coolana maintenance weekend. Morrie Ward led a party of 15 on his walk on the Barrington Tops. They started off in thick fog but the weather improved to become mild. The creek water level was about 300 mm higher than usual and this forced a rethink, and some changes in route, after they arrived late at the campsite on Saturday evening. Zol Bodlay and the party of 12 on his duckponds walk in Marramarra National Park were disconcerted to arrive at their chosen lunch site by a pool in the creek to find the pool full of dead mullet. They moved on to an alternative site. Other than that, the walk went well. Lynne Yeaman's Saturday walk in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park went, with a party of 8, but no other details. Tony Crichton had 20 on his Sunday walk in the Lower Blue Mountains. It went to program and was described as a great walk. Bronny Niemeyer had a warm day for the 9 starters on her Sunday walk from Loftus to Bundeena. They managed to catch the 1600 ferry home. Wilf Hilder's mid week walk in the Royal went, with a party of 9, despite train problems. Finding a half drowned goat on one of the beaches added a surreal touch to what was otherwise a normal enough walk on a near perfect day. Wendy Arnott's canoe and walk trip in the pagoda country around Dunns Swamp over the weekend of 21, 22, 23 March was a combined trip with Mudgee Bushwalkers. The three SBW who went along were somewhat swamped (on dry land at least) by the 15 or so in the Mudgee contingent. The area provides car access camping, but the arrival of an 18 seater bus mid Saturday afternoon seemed to be taking things a bit far. No details were available for Tony Maynes' Morton National Park walk the same weekend. Nigel Weaver's Saturday walk from Wondabyne to Little Wobby went, led by Alan Mewett, standing in for Nigel who had a broken wrist. There were 11 starters and the day was pleasant. Maureen Carter's walk in the Royal on the Saturday suffered from volatility, in the memory of our reporter at least. It was definitely a nice day, and there were 3, or was it 7, walkers present. There was no report for Frank Sander's Chatswood to Pennant Hills Saturday walk. Of the Sunday walks, Bill Hope's walk out from Evans Lookout went, but there were no details, Tony Crichton had 8 on his Bundeena to Otford walk; again with no further details, and Wilf Hilder reported a party of 12 on Stage 2 of the Sydney to Nowra epic. They lunched and swam at Long Bay and generally enjoyed themselves. Easter weekend, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 March, saw Bill Capon leading a party of 7 on an interesting variation of his programmed Yalwal to Sassafras walk. Bill described the walk as a total disaster, what with the walk becoming circular, two days walking to accomplish in one day, and Bill's food back in the car. There was no report for Allan Donnelly's Kosciusco trip over the same period. Ian Rannard had 17 on his Kanangra to Mittagong walk over 28 to 31 March but things did not go to plan. Frank Sander had a nasty fall coming down the lower section of Cambage Spire and was evacuated from Yerranderie by air to Camden and thence to Liverpool hospital. Tony Holgate's New England trip was staged as a series of day walks in generally pleasant conditions. Dick Weston's Mount Hay Range walk on Monday 31st March went, but no details were available to the meeting, The weekend of 5, 6 April saw the Coolana weeders; bushland regeneration group that is, at work again. There was also a report that Maurice Smith's walk in the Ettrema, scheduled for the following weekend, went one week early. Probably a good idea given there were no other weekend walks scheduled this weekend. There were 9 on the walk, weather fine, track good. Tom Wenman led a party of 27 on his Berrowra to Hornsby via the Benowie Track walk on the Saturday. Conditions were hot but the walk was described as a good one. Ken Smith was also out that day, with a party of 6 on his Woodford based walk in the Lower Blue Mountains. The trip went well despite some light scrub along the way and was used as a navigation exercise for some of the prospectives. Ken also backed up on Sunday to lead his walk from Medlow Bath to Blackheath. Conditions were fine and the trip described as enjoyable. There was no report for Ken Cheng's walk to Ruined Castle.. Bill Holland's mid week walk went on Tuesday 15th April with a party of 11, and 5 or 6 leaders. There was some confusion over the exact location of a natural arch reported to be in the area at the time but we are sure Bill, Wilf, and all the others will debate the matter at some length. Conservation report covered the sending of a letter to Confederation stating our preferred position on the closure of the road to Newhaven Gap. We also resolved to write to Sydney Water regarding the extensive areas of lantana growth on the banks of the Shoalhaven River below the Tallowa Dam wall. Confederation report began with news that the latest 6 monthly liaison meeting between NPWS and the Confederation has been deferred. Confederation are to support a trip to Melbourne for the Tracks and Access Officer to attend an SAA committee meeting on a proposed standard for track markings. The price for St Johns first aid courses is to rise. The Confederation's code of ethics for bushwalking is to be named the “Bushwalkers Code” (there is no indication of just where the apostrophe goes). The Confederation's rules and regulations are to be printed and presumably distributed. For some unknown reason general business brings a spate of announcements, rather than business, and this one was no exception. A number of cars were broken into at Curra Moors during daylight hours, the 70th anniversary dinner lives, on a Friday no less, and the meeting closed at 2115. by Michael McCoy In the early 1950's an American researcher named V. T. Inman took movies of men wandering around his lab in nothing but loin cloths, subsequently describing the way we walk as a series of movements in which we alternately lose and regain our balance every time we lift a foot from the ground and put it down in front of us again. That we don't fall flat on our faces a good three or four dozen times a day would seem to say a lot for our sense of balance and the complex anatomy and function of our feet. Whether walking or running, the force of our heels hitting the ground produces a shock wave which vibrates through our feet and is transmitted into our legs, up through the pelvis and then from one vertebra to the next all the way up our spinal column. The reason our heads don't jiggle about like those of the little toy dogs you always used to see sitting under the back windows of Valiants is in part due to a unique layer of fat. Arranged in vertical columns and reinforced by bands of tough fibrous tissue, the fat in our heels works like row upon row of tiny hydraulic shock absorbers, cushioning our feet as we stumble about the place. The twenty-six bones that make up each of our feet are arranged in arches which provide enough intrinsic stability to hold up the rest of our body above. Many of the bones are wedge shaped and lock into place like the stones in an arched bridge, cemented together for extra strength by a network of ligaments. The tendons of the lower leg muscles provide further support, holding the bony arches in place like the thick steel cables of a suspension bridge. On a less functional note, there are a those among us who in their more intimate moments apparently rank a healthy bit of toe sucking right up there on their list of sensual delights. So all things considered it would only make good sense that we do what we can to look after such a useful and exciting part of our anatomy. But in reality the opposite is more often true. Our feet are so often injured and mistreated there are all sorts of medical specialists to heal our podiatric ills and teach us to give our feet the love they deserve. Kathryn Harding-Foley is a podiatrist at Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre in Melbourne. Harding-Foley points out that it's hardly surprising our feet are so commonly injured when you consider their work load. “For every kilometre we cover, each foot hits the ground around five hundred times,” says Harding-Foley. “When we run the force per heel strike is around five times as high, and as we grow older the ability of our heels to absorb the shock gradually disappears as the water content of the specially designed fatty pistons drops.” Just imagine the feet of an ultra-marathon runner. Five hundred collisions per kilometre for hundreds and hundreds of kilometres is a pretty thorough beating. Dr Dick Telford, the former head of the Physiology and Applied Nutrition department at the Australian Institute of Sport, has said of competitors in the Sydney to Melbourne ultra-marathon that virtually every one will have suffered some kind of ligament damage in the course of the event. Add to that the heat and moisture inside their socks after they've been at it for a few hours and their skin, according to Harding-Foley, would literally be 'peeling off'. Most of us find it difficult enough to watch such feats of endurance on the television, but even for us foot afflictions can be classified as either mechanical, affecting the structure and function of the foot, or dermatological, affecting the skin and nails. Our arches get strained, our heels bruised, corns and calluses sprout from around our joints and the webbing of our toes can be colonised by any number of opportunistic fungi. In all, it would be enough to put off even the most ardent of toe suckers. “Correcting a person's walking or running pattern is often the best way of treating or reducing the likelihood of injury,” suggests Harding-Foley. “We all have a characteristic style of walking and there's no one way which is right for everyone. Some people can have terrible feet and still avoid any problems, but if your gait causes discomfort or injury it will need some attention.” An inappropriate gait pattern can lead to injuries not only in the foot, but anywhere in the body where the stresses are transmitted; the shins, knees and lower back all being common sites of pain. Harding-Foley stresses the importance of choosing footwear specific to your gait and to the activity you intend pursuing. Orthoses can also be necessary sometimes when injuries or deformities are more advanced. So where does this leave that icon of the Australian lifestyle, the thong? Not surprisingly, Harding-Foley doesn't like them much. “Thongs offer no support, no protection and they increase the likelihood of toe pain due the need to claw at the rubber to keep them on.” Another question that continues to spark debate whenever podiatrists meet is why some people's feet stink so much. Foot odour is to podiatry what the common cold is to general medicine; many of us suffer from it but a cure is often difficult to come by. “The latest theory,” says Harding-Foley, “is that sweat reacts with dyes and additives in the shoes. That's why shoes worn without socks will often smell pretty bad after a while. And although fungal infections aren't always odour producing, a bit of toe-jam around the webbing can cause a stink.” Toe-jam in the webbing. You heard it here first. Copyright Michael McCoy, 1997. First published in The Australian Financial Review Magazine, April 1997, reproduced with permission. by Greta James We'd spent a very pleasant, if rather soggy, Australia Day long weekend down on the Shoalhaven at Canoe Flat with Bill Holland. After a final swim, the climb up to Badgerys Lookout was the only thing between us and the cars. It was very steamy when we started the climb although I did start to feel some whispers of a breeze after a little while. Like all such ridges, the start was steep but I put my head down, got into low gear, and let the “rabbits” pass me thinking “I'll overtake some of them further up the hill”. As the climb wore on, I felt I was getting a little dizzy and tired but my “self talk” went along the lines of “You're imagining this. Don't wimp out. When others around you drop in the heat, you do really well.” I stopped a few times for sips of water having lots for the relatively short climb. But just when the steep section ended and there were what should have been some pleasant flattish bits, I really started to feel crook, even having pins and needles in my hands. “But never mind, keep going, don't give up.” Finally it dawned on me that this was more than just tiredness and I sat down beside the track, trying to rest and catch my breath. Ironically, the top was only about 200 metres away and I was comforted by the fact that Patrick, Fran and Bill were bringing up the rear. The most unpleasant symptom was the fact that I could not stop breathing rapidly even though I had been stopped for some time. Mark Asic, a prospective member, was the first to come by and I probably scared the life out of him by saying that it may be my heart. (That was all I could think of.) Mark took off like a rocket and raised the alarm back at the cars with Roger Browne (visiting from the UK) and Don Brooks coming back to assist. The rear guard, Patrick, Bill and Fran were next on the scene and Fran immediately diagnosed heat exhaustion and proceeded to pour water over me, providing immediate relief. Thanks Fran! Bill went on to organise up top and Patrick stayed and provided moral support. Fran also took a towel from her pack and, after wetting it, put it around my neck. By then I was feeling a lot better and when Don and Roger arrived, they took my pack and we finally ambled up to the top. Why did the heat affect me like that? Well, it was classic weather for heat exhaustion - hot and humid - but this had never happened to me before in almost 18 years of walking. I wonder whether a contributing factor may have been the new, trendy, quick drying, synthetic shirt I was wearing. I was certainly not dehydrated. So thanks Fran, Patrick, Roger (who carried my pack) and all the rest of the party. SBW Seventieth Anniversary Celebrations are in October this year. Plan ahead. Keep the whole month free for SBW activities Which were the Golden Years of the Club? Now be honest about it; it was the period when you, dear reader, were most active in Club affairs, now wasn't it? Thus the people who were walking and most active in Club management during the 1930's consider those were the great days: and the generations of the 1940's and 50's no doubt believe the place is going downhill. While, bless you, if you're of more recent stock and very active, the Golden Years are NOW. For my part, accepting the above formula, the late 40's and early 50's should have been the high point, but in a way I was lucky because just as my spell of vigorous walking went into decline, the Chronic Operas came along and extended my personal Golden Years. The idea of telling a story, preferably something touching on Club doings, in verse and song at a campfire was not a brand new idea when the Chronic Operas were spawned. Other people had done something similar on a few occasions in the 1930's, but I think it can be said fairly that none of these earlier operas became part of a cycle. Not that the 1952 originators envisaged a series. It simply happened that a superior campfire was planned for the Club's 25th Birthday Reunion at Springvale near Woy Woy. Happily there was a story to tell - how at an Instructional Weekend in August the leader almost missed the train, how the President, no less, “pulled the air” on the train driver when he started out of Glenbrook with half of the party still aboard, and how the Treasurer was hit on the skull by a rolling stone (dislodged by an un-financial member of course). Working on this promising material President Malcolm McGregor and Pat Sullivan (now Wood) produced “Instruction Plus” with hastily written verse put to tunes by Sir Arthur Sullivan (no relation to Pat) and to popular campfire ballads. My own part in this epoch-making production was humble enough, words for one song and the role of the irate engine driver. The whole performance went very nicely and was well received. And there it would have remained if the 1953 Reunion campfire had not seemed so tame by comparison that we began to talk of an Opera for 1954. In the meantime the Club had acquired a couple of versatile pen-men in Don Matthews who can write whimsically appealing lines, and Geoff Wagg who invents the most arrant nonsense. There was already in existence an enthusiastic singing group with quite passable voices, and not too many inhibitions about performing at a campfire. The scene was set and the ground fertile for the 1954 Reunion and its slightly exaggerated version of a general meeting with each character riding his own hobby-horse about which he had sounded off at a meeting during the year. It included the Matthews hit Who'd be a Walker; it introduced the Little Scout with his axes, knives and firearms ready to “knock off a bird or a bunny”, and it wound up with Wagg's version of Good Bye. “Good bye, adieu So long, farewell and toodle-oo, Bon soir, whats more - Auf wiedersehen and au revoir.” Now the team really got stuck into it. It was decided well in advance that the 1955 opera would deal with the Sunday clashes, some amiable, some not so amiable, between Police and Bushwalkers, under the title Bobbies and Bushies. While this was still in gestation we learned that Paddy Pallin was going abroad, so we farewelled him in the grounds of Brian Harvey's home to the tunes of Paddy Pallin Pty. Ltd. At his emporium it was pointed out: “We have paddles for canoeing with, And fly veils for fly-shooing with, And an Up to be and doing with, Or we'll hire you teeth for chewing with.” And Paddy counselled to the tune This Nearly was Mine, “Let sleeping bags lie, Be gentle in treating them, Don't ever try beating them- Let sleeping bags lie.” So to the 1955 Reunion where in an opening episode we disgraced ourselves in the nude sunbathing scene at Era where: “If you go sunning on Era's sands, you'd better go in disguise. There's bobbies there with telescopes and frightfully powerful eyes.” Thereafter we spent years redeeming ourselves with S&R activities, in the process of which we were introduced to the bloodhound (Wagg) and his keeper, the unhappy police sergeant who explained (to the school song The Golden Wattle): “His bloody nose is not so keen, He's doped on benze-bloody-drine. He's just a bloody old has-been, Oh, bloody, bloody, bloody.” Hardly was the reunion over when Geoff Wagg, emulating the Tiger Walkers of earlier years led a weekend jaunt of (allegedly) 85 miles from Katoomba to Picton. It was before Warragamba flooded the Burragorang, of course. Twenty started and six finished and the rest were extracted by car, and enough silly things happened to make a story, which was sung to a combined Instructional Weekend and Working bee at Blue Gum. It may have been remorse at our recent treatment of a children's song, but we took a couple of bawdy old ballads and set respectable words, as with Geoff's Miles to Picton (O'Reilly's Daughter). “85 miles is a long, long way, Not many cars on the Picton Highway, Sanitary cart, or a one-horse sleigh, I'll take anything going my way.” The writers had almost a year's spell now, and in that time some changes occurred. Apart from a few phrases, the earlier “operas” were sung throughout, but now some spoken dialogue was introduced, the words of the songs became more sophisticated, and the characters portrayed were vested with a degree of personality. Moreover, the remaining operas were virtually original stories, owing something to current Club affairs, and with many topical allusions, but not telling direct tales of walker doings. In retrospect I am convinced that The Golden Screw (1956), The 1001 Troglodytes (1956), White Antics (1957), McGregor's Party (1957) and Return of the Admiral (1958) were the best from the scripting viewpoint. However, our audience was by now somewhat blasé, and as the stories grew more involved, they were not quite as well received as the earlier editions. Because the stories were more complex the words don't always read well out of context, and it would be futile to try and quote either in a reasonably short history of the Chronic Operas. Of course the writers, and maybe the performers too, continued to get a great deal of pleasure out of the composition and rehearsals; I can still remember the faces flushed with laughter and excitement as one silly episode was capped with an even screwier development. Perhaps we had become too ambitious and were trying to “put over” plays requiring much more rehearsal and much more elaborate staging than one can justify for a one night campfire show. At all events, we came to the conclusion after the 1958 Reunion that the Chronic Operas should be suspended at least for a while. During the next few years the strong singing group thinned out, family commitments weighed on the Producer and writers, and we never really resumed. Not with full scale Chronic Operas, that is, although sketches with songs have been played at most of the subsequent Reunions, with some of the old brigade usually taking part, and often with an infusion of new blood. I hope we can continue to do that much, at least until a new team starts producing major campfire entertainment items. You see, it reminds me of the Golden Years of the Chronic Operas: and if you feel like chuckling at such a naive and nostalgic idea, it's probably because these are your own Golden Years, and the day will almost certainly come when you too look backward. (As we approach our 70th anniversary it is fitting to look back at the people and antics of an earlier period. Next month will be the first anniversary of Jim Brown's death and this article from October 1967 is a most suitable way to remember Jim: President, Secretary, Editor, author, actor, producer, father and friend. Editor.) Congratulations to Rae Page who had her 95th birthday recently. Read all about it in Hip Hip Hoo Rae. by Don Matthews I sat down with the magazine, A tear rolled down my cheek, The Editor of robust build was being extremely meek. This mood won't last, I thought, at least Not more than half a week * the editor's mood I wrote that this afternoon, whilst sitting on a rock down on the local creek. I had been struggling to write something, anything, for the magazine. I have been trying to do this since “Reunion campfire Verses” was printed in November 1992. Somehow prose is not my strength. There is a long list of past and present SBW prose writers who (or is it whom) I admire. Some of them wrote (write) admirable verse as well. How do they do it? I have a good deal of sympathy for Editors, more so when the incumbent has portrayed Cinderella with such aplomb (or presence). (viz. the Butler production of the Spoonesed version 1991) I portrayed her (Cinderella that is) in a more spindly fashion in 1987. I went down the creek today, looking for inspiration. Fortunately I took my binoculars for though I did not find much in the way of inspiration I did find a Brown Owl in a coachwood tree. Though not as exotic as a partridge in a pear tree it was I thought a pretty fair achievement for a novice birdwatcher. I call it a Brown owl because it was brown. I don't really know what sort of owl it is. There's nothing like it in the book. I didn't even find the brown owl until I was alerted by a very agitated red whiskered bul bul (Pycnonotus jocosus in case the computer gets confused. Might this sort of input cause it to self destruct?) whose territory and nest it perceived to be under threat. I came home content with the sighting of a few birds which I hadn't seen down there before and an envelope covered with scribble. As I strolled up the final ridge I heard a brass band belting out jungle rhythms at a park on the hill. All you could hear was the drummer who was enthusiastic if nothing else. Suddenly they switched to a few bars of the last movement of the Beethoven ninth. This I thought is an omen of some sort. The drum beat, now less strident, matched my steady plod and I suddenly felt quite euphoric, rather than just content. The lines of verse are about all I could salvage from a 12 km wander in the bush though. It will take a marathon effort to fill a page at that rate! I could write a bit about damper. Seeing that it's the 70th, I have been tidying up for later display a photographic montage of Club characters engaged in making, and then eating or otherwise disposing of damper. “The Damper Competition 1974”. The photos are a bit faded and are precariously glued to butchers paper, yellow with age and with the remnants of sticky tape attached from when it has been stuck to the walls of the hut at Coolana, or perhaps the clubrooms at St Leonards, or Crows Nest or Haberfield. I'd better look up montage, I suppose just in case. I quote the Oxford Illustrated Dictionary: “arrangement of cut out illustrations or fragments of them, as artists technique of making pictures” Well there you go! I am wrong. It is not a montage though it is certainly becoming a bit fragmentary around the edges. Tine says “just call it a collection”. Perhaps I should. I like the sound of montage though. I like the verse which accompanies the pictures too. As most of the characters depicted are lasting pretty well twenty three years later, there may be a message there somewhere. This tattered document I sometime found A relic of an episode profound, A record of some prehistoric rite, Wherein the celebrants first rend, then bite, A substance form the ashes, wrapped in foil, The product of much craftiness and toil. A strange and powerful remedy, perchance? Athletic prowess, even illness hamper. What's that! It's just an ordinary Damper?? I gave the draft of the above bit of nonsense to Tine for comment. “I doubt if its the result of the exercise and fresh air” she said “or the Beethoven”. And then you've been reading Through the Looking Glass again, haven't you? I can always tell“. The sub-committee vested with this task was formed last year and has been meeting planning and plotting ever since. Now it the time to start to reveal what has been hatched. Not all at once just in case you dear reader find it difficult to absorb it all. Firstly DON'T plan anything for October this year. On 11-12 October we're having the Reunion at Coolana: campfire, entertainment, cake, milo, damper competition, singing, investiture of the president, annual airing of the ex-presidents, swimming carnival for the temperature insensitive plus lots more (but no steak knives); all those activities that have been part of SBW for 70 years. Come along, no need to book a room, be prepared as usual for hot, cold, wet and/or dry weather. Friday 17 October is the date for the dinner at North Sydney Leagues Club. More details next month but we have the Celebrity Room (main function room) from about 6 pm to 12 midnight. Come early, leave late and don't worry if the car turns into a pumpkin. There's oodles of room to walk and talk or to sit and chat without going anywhere near the dreaded poker machines. The cost will be about $30 a person; it has not been finalised as yet so it could go up a bit. Drinks are extra to your own account. The dinner will not be a formal affair but dress rules apply in the Club, smart casual is the way to dress. There's no mention in the Club's Dress Rules about men wearing kilts so it would be best to forget your celtic urges for the night. On Sunday 19 October we are having a picnic-barbeque at Manly Dam. This is the opportunity for everyone to get together in a daylight campfire type of atmosphere spiced with the aroma of fried onions and burnt meat. This day is as costly as you wish make it; king prawns and champagne or bangers and beer. The picnic area to accessible to all by car, by foot or by wheelchair. Tables and chairs will be there. To enter the Manly Dam site there is an entry fee of $6 per car. To enter by foot costs nothing. At the clubroom on Wednesday 22 October some activities will take place, details have not been finalised as yet, the backroom brigade are still working on it. You may wonder why are so many events are concentrated in so few days. A good question and with a very simple answer. With our diverse membership people come from all over the place. To accommodate the interstate and distant intrastate travellers we have tried to shorten the time that these people will be away from home. So if you do loose a bit of sleep that week, you'll have 5 years till the next big SBW function. The Committee has agreed in principle to investigate entering into a voluntary conservation agreement with the National Park and Wildlife Service for the Club's property “Coolana” in the Kangaroo Valley. This will be a protracted process requiring preliminary application, survey by NPWS, negotiating a management agreement and legal contract. A voluntary conservation agreement is a contractual agreement, legally binding on the landholder, all future landholders, and the Service as the agent of the Minister. It may be varied or terminated if both the owner and the Minister consent. The conservation agreement is intended to protect the natural conservation values of land. Amongst other things it encourages the study, preservation, protection, care or propagation of native fauna and flora. It may well reflect the intentions of those earlier members who raised or donated funds for the purchase of Coolana. The advantage to the club will be the advice, guidance and assistance from the NPWS in preserving and perpetuating the conservation values of our property. Our existing use of the land and possible extension of these uses can be safeguarded in the management agreement. Assistance from the NPWS may include funding for equipment/materials and staffing for flora and fauna surveys, weed control and elimination of feral animals such as foxes, pigs and goats. Rate and land tax relief are also possible. Early discussion with an NPWS representative has been favourable. They were already aware to some extent of our property and its significant features. There are suggestions that the Crown land between our property and the Tallowa Dam will become a NPWS Nature Reserve and Coolana provides a corridor to this area for the endangered rock wallaby species located further upstream. Also, our river frontage flats currently, under NSW Water Board administration, will eventually pass to the NPWS. Coolana, under a conservation agreement, will blend in with their land management practices. It is still early days with much to be learnt about conservation agreements and liaison with the NPWS. The Committee welcomes input from members particular those who are willing to assist with this process. The Autumn Social Programme will include a night with a NPWS representative who will enlighten us on this subject. The Committee will ensure that all members have opportunity to play a part in the final decision. Please contact me with your suggestions and observations. Bill Holland: Conservation Secretary The Club was informed this week of the death of honorary member John Holly. John joined the SBW in 1963 and died suddenly of a heart attack on 28 January. John was a confirmed bachelor with three passions in life, photography, zoology and bushwalking and the Club gave him the opportunity to indulge in all three at once. His niece Eve, is managing his estate and may call on his bushwalking friends to identify some of John's numerous photos.

By George Mawer It was early Sunday morning April 27 when I looked out the back door and decided it was going to be a fine day. I thought “Great! I'll go on Errol's walk”. I packed some lunch, ate a quick breakfast and drove to Sutherland station. Tom was on the platform but no sign of Errol or his shadow. We got into the second carriage when the train arrived and there weren't any other SBW passengers. Curious. When the train arrived at Cronulla and we alighted I saw that there were a lot of familiar faces further along the platform so we joined them. Paul said that Errol was sick and that he had nominated to take the walk. We walked down to the Gunnamatta Bay wharf where the little Bundeena ferry was waiting. The trip across Port Hacking to Bundeena was pleasant and as always, gave the opportunity to chat a little before the walk started. At Bundeena we gathered in the customary circle and Paul said he would take the party to Deer Pool and return. This was a lesser distance than the programmed walk and after some grumblings and huddled conferences it evolved that Zol would lead a walk to Little Marley and then across to Winifred falls and on to Sutherland. Joan said she had come to do the walk as programmed and would do so. That gave us three parties, each doing something a little different. When Joan was asked if she had done her intended walk before she said “Yes, but in the opposite direction”. She added that she had a map and would look at it if necessary. I opted to go with Joan's party as it sounded as though it had the potential to get more interesting. Joan told Zol that we might see them along the way (which I very much doubted) and we set off. We walked sort of westward around the sandy beaches of the Bundeena side of the bay, around rocky headlands and across mangrove mud flats. We took directions from a few people along the way who materialised at appropriate times and had our morning tea break on a rocky platform on a high point overlooking the rather large and very picturesque Cabbage Tree Basin lagoon. Then a slow easy climb along the Maianbar ridge (which included some roadway) and then down to Anise falls on Saddle Gully creek. Quite pretty but almost dry. We needed a swim so continued on to Winifred Falls where we explored upstream a little to a nice little swimming hole for a pre-lunch dip. We were about half way through our lunch when, to my surprise, Zol and his party arrived. After lunch we four pushed on but took a side trip down Muddy Creek for another swim and to look at some rock engravings. Then some bush bashing and rock scrambling across and steeply down to the Hacking and along to Audley. We wanted to ride the tram from the old RNP station to Loftus and managed to get there just in time for the last tram of the day. I was most relieved as the prospect of walking along the tramway to Loftus was not appealing. It was a glorious, mostly sunny autumn day. Ideal for walking. (ideal for anything) There was a good mix of scenery and walking conditions. The company was excellent. Spirits remained high all day. The creek water was icy at first and then very invigorating - Joan insisted that it was good for muscle tone. Thank-you Errol. Thank you Joan, Ray and Nora. That part of the RNP through which our route took us looks good and seems to be recovering well from THE FIRE. However there are some quite noticeable changes in the type of vegetation and vigorous re-growth density in some familiar places. This column is not meant to be an editorial but a current affairs (as in news, not who's with who) forum. However from time to time something akin to editoralising may creep in. I was amazed by the thousands of entries in Spot the mistakes in the April magazine competition. Unfortunately no one single entry listed all the mistakes so the prize will have to jackpot. As you know this competition is open every month with first prise a bushwalk with the editor; second prize is two bushwalks with the editor. To those of you who voiced their concern about the quality of the magazine, thank you. I'm approaching the top of a steep learning curve, but not so steep that I'll slip backwards. If the June edition is not up to your expectations then phone or write to me. On a serious note Elizabeth Radcliff suffered a stroke on 9 May at work and is now in Bankstown Hospital (9709 0444, ward 2J, room 4, visiting hours 10.00-1300, 1430-2000). Her mother Rosemary rushed out from Wales to help Steve, Sophia (5) and Alexander (2). Steve and Elizabeth joined SBW in 1982 and have walked with the Club since then except when family constraints took precedence and during a 3 year sojourn in Tasmania. Members may have met up with the family at Coolana. Elizabath, we wish you a full and speedy recovery. In the Clubrooms. In April two outstanding social nights were held. The first where David Roots explained why the Earth moves and shakes with earthquakes and volcanoes, why the Shakey Isles are the shakey isles and why it may not be best to stay in a highrise hotel in San Francisco. Irrespective of political developments north of the border, Australia is moving closer to Indonesia, but only at the rate of about 6 cm per year. The second social Wednesday saw SBW member and photographer of note Henry Gold explain some of his technique to a room full of potentially competitor photographers. Henry showed some of his good shots and, like John West, some of his rejects. One of Henry's photographic secrets is to have plenty of time to wait for the right moment no matter if it takes hours or days or even years. Positions Vacant #1. The position of Social Secretary is still vacant. Open to a SBW member with flair, charm and perfect social skills, used to public speaking, and able to relate at all levels from boardroom to engineroom. On the job training in this rewarding and vital position will be given. This is your opportunity to gain an insight into the workings of the Club. As I said last month if you can walk and talk at the same time you're in. Don't be shy. Positions Vacant #2. In for a penny in for a pound; we do need a Clubroom Reporter. To write each month a few words (in sentence form) about what's been happening. For this position you must be able to write, reading skills are an advantage and listening skill are desirable. If we don't get someone soon, we'll get tired of the current style of reporting. Club Coolana. The weekend of 3 and 4 May saw a number of people gambolling in the sunshine at Coolana. Firstly there was a goodly group of members engaged in macro gardening , slashing, burning, clearing and in particular planting of trees. Such practical and applied landcare is transforming Coolana into a most attractive and valuable asset. Years ago when it was a working dairy the land at Coolana no doubt was fairly open. Since then many cycles of seeding, growth and die-off plus cycles of drought, fire and flood have seen much of the land and in particular the land along the river become infested with weeds and blocked by fallen timber. Much work by dedicated zealots (I know zealots are by definition dedicated) have returned, and are returning the land to a bushwalkers delight. All in time for the 70th Reunion. And talking of planting only a very few plants were received for replanting at Coolana, however all was not in vain as some $80 was donated to buy plants with. The request for garden tools, rakes, shovels, spades, etc is still valid. Bring them to the clubroom or contact anyone on the committee to arrange pick-up. The request for garden machinery, lawnmowers, chainsaws, etc also is still valid. Coolana Maintenance weekends are scheduled for 31 May-1 June and 26-27 July. On the first of these weekends the track from the road to our parking area will be worked over. If you have experience working on a chain gang or a railroad or simply would like to spend a few hours digging, wheelbarrowing, raking, labouring, levelling or pickaxing ring me (02 9904 1515).	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3509

According to the LA Times, San Bernardino County sheriff’s officials have positively identified the charred remains found in a burned mountain cabin following the stand off with police as that of former LA police officer and murderer Christopher Dorner. Maybe this will stop the conspiracy theorist who think that Dorner faked his death like in the ending of the movie Sword Fish. Then again, maybe not. As per the official autopsy of the charred body pulled from the burned out mountain cabin where Dorner was in a stand off and gun fight with police. Christopher Dorner had murdered four individuals, including two police officers before he was taken down. Authorities have yet to release the autopsy information as to how Dorner died. The police and family members mentioned in Dorner’s manifesto can now rest assured that they are safe from this murderer San Bernardino County sheriff’s officials have positively identified the charred remains found in a mountain cabin Tuesday as being the body of Christopher Dorner. Officials said they made the identification using dental records during the autopsy. The announcement brings a formal end to the epic manhunt for Dorner, who was accused of killing four people, including two law enforcement officers. He was killed at the end of a hours-long standoff in a cabin near Big Bear on Tuesday afternoon.

__label__wiki	0.687978	0.687978	Niels Klein Tubes and Wires - Life in Times of the Big Crunch (TRAUMTON RECORDS 2017) Niels Klein has been challenging conventional genre boundaries for years. His interest in music and sound is much too widely spread, for him to limit himself. Born in Hamburg in 1978 and based in Cologne since studying there, Klein has made a name for himself as a composer and leader of various formations; among them also large ensembles, like the Metropole Orkest, the European Jazz Orchestra or even the EOS Chamber Orchestra. Through this work at the latest, Klein got into the habit of looking beyond the usual horizons. While Niels Klein has been awarded many prizes for his ingenious compositions and his expressive, colorful playing (ECHO 2015 as saxophonist, WDR Jazz Prize Composition, European Composer Award from the city of Berlin), his quartet Tubes & Wires is going in a slightly different direction than his other projects. Here especially the tension between naturally and electronically created sounds, the encounter of wood and electricity, is explored in a very individual way. The approach of the four experienced jazzers reveals their background, but at the same time displays their knowledge of the quality of clear lines and transparent structures. Of course the quartet can interact spontaneously, especially since the variable pulse is coming from ECHO-award-winner Jonas Burgwinkel and not from a circuit board. Just listen to the piece “Grid”, with its rhythmic finesse. In the music of Tubes & Wires, solos and sounds are equally predominant, the latter often being developed in interplay. That is why Klein doesn’t play any saxophone here but rather concentrates on different clarinets in many different and also some unusual pitch ranges. “Clarinets have a very clear linear sound, which in my opinion is much more suitable for electronic manipulations than any saxophone, “ Klein explains. Even when he multiplies his sound electronically, the synthetic doublet seems very similar to the original. When Niels Klein composes for Tubes & Wires, he thinks of the participating musicians, of the world of science fiction and of alternative rock. The fact that some “fiddly jazz” still comes out in between - like in “Moonbender”, which exhibits some expressive solos - just adds to the appeal of this unconventional project. With the second album of Tubes & Wires, Niels Klein once again demonstrates his sense for extraordinary concepts. The dazzling fusion of woodwinds and electronics, the mix of atmospheric, elaborate band sound and gripping improvisations amounts to self-willed and likewise entertaining Sci-Fi-Jazz. 1.

As a member of diverse groups, Brodbeck has over the years developed his own style of piano playing, deeply rooted in jazz tradition, founded in lyrical Romantic elements, characterized by a sensitive spontaneity and enjoying a high recognition value. In 2007 he gained international recognition with his album Song of Tchaikovsky. Following a period of intense work with various international luminaries such as Johannes Enders, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Billy Hart and Andy Scherrer, and eight releases as band leader, Brodbeck, spurred by the desire to play in an intensely cooperative working band, formed in 2015 his Swiss Trio , consisting of himself, the young bass talent Lukas Traxel and rhythm virtuoso Claudio Strüby, who had already been accompanying Brodbeck for ten years, on the drums. Starting with songs from Brodbeck's pen, the virtuoso musicians celebrate artistic openness in an urgent ensemble performance that extends the art form of the piano trio in a fresh and contemporary fashion. As Florian Keller states in his liner notes: "The three friends distil their musical essences in active engagement with the fundaments of the jazz tradition and thereby go beyond pure traditionalism with the shimmering pop sensibility of the songs. With their modern, fine-tuned trio sound, they amalgamate centrifugal forces of canonical Romanticism and the Groove of 1970s music into a graceful sound that moves elegantly through varied musical sceneries. This trio is a musical organism, defying the gravitational force of the schematic when it roams weightlessly in the wide open spaces of the balladic, only then to sweep nimbly through hard-edged landscapes of Groove with the same serenity." 1.

Requiem Of A Song Jean-Paul Brodbeck – piano Lukas Traxel - bass Claudio Strüby - drums Etiquetas : ENJA RECORDS, Jean Paul Brodbeck Algorhythm - Mandala (ALPAKA RECORDS 2017) One can grasp "Mandala" from many perspectives - first, as music from the heart and as flow. But beyond these concepts we all naturally understand, it can also be grasped on a higher level of complexity, via intellect and under a microscope. One could then notice layers of detail, rhythmic and harmonic textures, various percolating genres and free improv expression. The album is the product of the cumulative experience of the musicians that comprise Algorhythm. Musicians whose roots stem from work with well known performers such as Leszek Możdżer, Tymon Tymański and Sławek Jaskułke - as well as committed work on their own projects. “Mandala” is therefore the product of musical, as well as personal explorations of the collective’s members. The album’s title is tied to the tibetan monks’ tradition of mandalas - layered, gossamer designs of colored sand, cast on a circle within a square. Their subsequent destruction is meant to remind one of the ever-changing nature of things. In this way, the band indicates their readiness for change, the destruction of their own efforts to build compositions. “Mandala” is the fruit of a winter recording session in “Monochrom” studio located in wilderness among mountains. It was mixed at “Bass Hit” Studio in New York City by Grammy winning engineer Dave Darlington (Wayne Shorter’s “Alegria”, Madonna’s “Erotica”). 01. Mandala (Intro) 1:52 02. Taco Taco 7:06 03.

You might remember those two groups from their more club jazz-oriented projects from the previous decade or two -- but this time around, all three musicians are in a straighter jazz vein -- yet still one that's filled with plenty of rhythm!

And while the focus on rhythm is quiet strong, Vincenti gets off some especially great solo moments too -- breaking from the bass and drums, while still holding their energy. Titles include versions of Gary Bartz's "Libra", Billy Taylor's "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free", and Prince's "Sign Of The Times" -- plus the originals "Pharaoh of Love", "Sad Devil", "Desert Highway", and "A Long Goodbye". 01.

__label__wiki	0.616724	0.616724	What we know about Eve: like Adam created in god's image, given Eden's animal and plant inhabitants to tend to, possessed of eternal life but without knowledge of good and bad. Her life is good. Then the snake makes a proposal: eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Eve says if she does so, she has been told she will die. Snake replies: Was she forbidden to eat the fruit from any tree? Eve answers, No, only from the knowledge tree. You will not die, says the snake. When interrogated by god about her disobedience, Eve will respond: the snake tricked her. But is this true? The snake, by asking if she is forbidden to eat from any tree, is reminding Eve that the tree of life is there at her reach to recover immortality, if it should be taken away. (That immortality can be recovered is shown by god later saying he expels Adam and Eve from the Eden to prevent this from happening, for otherwise they would be like him, and that he does not want.) So the snake says: you will be like god once you eat the fruit and have knowledge, and it is not a necessary consequence that you die. All true. So where is the trick? By telling the truth, getting Eve to disobey god? But she knew she was disobeying god. The snake doesn't trick Eve, he entraps her. He exposes her to his persuasion, at risk of her death. She who has no knowledge of bad or good, simply has a good life, she who has had no experience of persuasion. Persuasion is a kind of using another person as an instrument to your goal that is outside the interests of the person persuaded. It is a kind of acting your way, independent of the way of the person persuaded. It is to act in role, to achieve what your role specializes in achieving, and forming the other person into a complementary role. Eve is then in need of knowledge and she complies with the persuasion which she is told will lead to her death, but does not know is bad (she has no knowledge of good and bad), but which may not lead to her death, but will, according to both snake and god, give her the knowledge of good and bad she needs to deal with this new world the snake has brought to her, the world of individuals being made the instrument of other individuals. Eve's decision is logical, and almost inescapable: she needs knowledge, the old life of tending to the garden of Eden which could be lived without ethical knowledge is gone, now that she has encountered persuasion. She is in precisely the position Shakespeare places Hamlet in the beginning of the play. His good life as student and prince and lover of Ophelia is gone: he cannot live as he has been doing, no matter how hard he tries: the new king is suspicious of him, he feels himself hunted, he feels himself played upon like an instrument. But he does not wish to enter into the world that is hunting him. He has no ambition, he says he is "poor", a "shadow". Equally, he may not stay out of that world, both because his old life cannot be returned to while he is being watched, and because he is impelled "to set it right". He can't get himself to act, because taking up arms seems to him a kind of suicide. It means being trapped in the world of people acting in roles, using each other as instruments, which is a sort of death. He needs knowledge before he can take revenge, and must act to get knowledge. He can only get himself to act by deliberately provoking everyone around him, playing mad, making just and unjust hinted accusations, forcing the others to reveal themselves in their true role conduct, and in protection of their roles to attack him, and so provoke him to rashness, to lose himself, and enter into that world of role conflict. Eve like Hamlet seeks necessary knowledge, which she can get only by acting bad herself. It is also, like for Hamlet, a kind of suicide for her: literal if god does sentence her to death and prevent her return to the tree of life, and metaphorically a suicide, an end to the former good life: which however, as Hamlet comes to understand, is lost in any case. Then if she is acting like Hamlet, what is the good she is seeking to accomplish, at risk of her life? To set right the society of Eden. But like Hamlet, she will not know how to do this until she has knowledge, until after eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge. She must take that rash, god-defying, dangerous, but fundamentally reasonable action. Then, knowing good and bad, what does she see? Another story: In "The Republic", Socrates is pressed by his partners in conversation to go on describing a society he calls feverish and luxurious: a society where each practices a role that requires other roles for their mere practice: doctor requires patient, prostitute customer, etc., as opposed to a primitive society of clothing maker, house builder, small farmer who can do their jobs alone and then simply trade the products. Those in luxurious societies need others practicing other roles to make their products: their action in role is the product of the action in role of another. This society assigns the basic behaviors to separate roles: the rational, the spirited or ambitious, the desiring or irrational. The society that includes them all represents, expresses and is the model of the individual man. Each role modifies and corrects the other, and this is a kind of justice in the state, and in the individual, supposedly. Only supposedly, because the author of this description in dialog, Socrates, has said he would prefer the primitive society. What he has done is to describe the ultimate in societies of roles, where the roles incorporate the basic traits of man, those that correct, those that need correcting. But there is no necessity that roles express traits. They can be practiced by individuals keeping a private life reserved from their lives united to others, each of whom also keeps a private life reserved. The roles are played with a practical intention alone, not as an expression of one isolated trait (rational, desiring, spirited). And in that private life the parts of self - desiring, spirited, rational - do not modify and correct each other. They are simply behaviors, each an instrument for the making of a good life. How is that roles come to express character traits? Each job requires two skills, knowing how to do the work, and knowing how to get and keep the job. The first knowledge is not essential to getting and keeping the job, and is insufficient alone for finding work. It is an optional addition. Different jobs offer different opportunities for expressing various human traits of thinking, desiring, profiting. People with similar dominant traits become attracted to particular jobs. They get and keep these jobs through practicing a skill that is also psychological, or character related. So both differing opportunities for expression, and getting the job at all, cause a selection of character types to occur in the separate professions. Once a profession has concentrated a group of people of like character, each individual will act in a similar way in response to those practicing other dependent and complementary professions and roles, putting uniform pressure on those roles to select out specific character types as well. If stability of all the basic traits results, this group of balanced and correcting character-trait selected roles then represents the character of a single complete man - a luxurious, feverish man, who wants too much of something and who requires the correction of other feverish, luxurious men to cure the resulting imbalance. This image of man in turn teaches individuals to see themselves as a mutually provoking and persuading alliance of parts. Since in the model of the republic the expression of each of these partial traits is dependent on the action of others practicing separate traits, what an individual learns from experience, both in society and personal reflection, is only how to manage a relation between parts. In the simple, primitive society, practice of a profession serves the making of a good life: a part of life is placed in service of the whole. But in the luxurious republic, work in a role serves only to establish relations between parts in oneself. After constant instrumental use of self-part against self-part, social role against social role, the memory of good life is eventually lost. What Socrates has done is to make an extremely cunning provocation. By taking to extremes a society of trait-defined roles, he not only produces a society his partners in dialog would not want to live in, but also shows a sort of man (which that society is an imitation of) they should not let themselves become. In "The Apology", Socrates is seen provoking again, this time with his own life, not in art of dialog. Like Hamlet, he has ahead of him, now that he has been arrested and accused, a sort of life not worth living: life in which he will be prevented from having philosophic conversations. He says he has had a dream, in which a god tells him to practice art. This might be a reference to philosophy as an art, and an encouragement to go on with it, but maybe not, so he sets to work putting Aesop's fables into verse. Or, it may be his way of saying, that with good life over, he may allow himself to practice art, an inessential and sometimes dangerous activity which he has described variously as teaching, charming, strengthening, play, a reminder. Socrates makes a speech at his trial in which he acts immoderately, immodestly, out of character in some ways, in other ways completely in character - something like with Hamlet's madness, in fact. He provokes the jurors to act like jurors, not as individuals. That is to say, as jurors they expect abject appeals to clemency, and he gives them the opposite, provoking them to the most extreme response in role. (Persuasion establishes others in a role complementary to one's own, provocation leads others to defend their already established roles.) Why does he do this? How is provocation an art? Hamlet provokes those hunting him, in order to find out what exactly the role is being played by those he provokes: was the king a murderer, his mother too? But Hamlet also is making a demonstration of role society itself. Like the republic, Hamlet's world, ending in the death of almost all the main participants, is not worth living in. Socrates, forgiving those who voted against his death, says Athens will get the reputation of murdering its best benefactor. Hamlet, before dying, asking forgiveness of the survivors, also is concerned that the true story be told. They are making demonstrations, telling stories that teach, remind, charm. Is Eve doing the same? Is she provoking, responding to role action - to the persuasion of the snake - with role action of her own? With the intention of making a demonstration? This is what she does. She eats the fruit of the tree of knowledge, and like Hamlet playing mad, accusing wildly, like Socrates outlining the luxurious republic and provoking his jurors, she is doing something bad after being pushed to it. And then: she passes the fruit to Adam. Now like god she has immortality and knowledge, and is acting for good, presumably, like god has done. In this she imitates god: she is making Adam in her image, as an immortal and new knower of good and bad. And she is surpassing god in her creation, since both she and Adam were made as images of god but not really like god (they lack knowledge), and Eve's re-creation of Adam makes him in reality like god. With this important difference: unlike god, their immortality and knowledge are not permanent. These possessions must be reached for, taken from a tree access to which can be denied; they are the result of personal action, not gifts. When they both have eaten, they are ashamed of their nakedness. This first shame reflects their new knowledge of the instrumentality that sexuality can lend itself to, that of seeing the other as instrument of our pleasure. And they know they cannot rely on themselves acting on the knowledge they have, rely on keeping their knowledge: they fear themselves. Then God approaches, and they are afraid of the death he has threatened them with. God asks Eve why she ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge. She answers, as we know, the snake tricked her. She is trying to persuade god, as the snake persuaded her, trying to use god as the instrument of her survival. She is suggesting that in the interdependence of roles, where one role corrects or modifies another, she is not guilty, unless the whole society is guilty. Adam picks up this response, saying the woman that god gave him, gave him the fruit. God answers: Did not Adam hear what Eve said to the snake? In other words, wasn't he also potentially responsible for her response? Could he not have prevented it? God rejects Eve's reasoning based on mutual dependence. Yet god is provoked to a response of deepening the roles and their mutual dependence. This after dismissing Eve's defense based on the existence of mutually dependent role society. The players in Eden, described using Plato's basic roles, are: snake - ambitious/spirited; Eve - reasoning; Adam - desiring. All we know of the snake is that he wishes to make a change, to persuade Eve to make a change. All we know of Eve, is that she is intelligent enough to catch the subtle reasoning of the Snake, and then to use the role-dependence that arrives with the arrival of the snake in her act of persuasion. All we know of Adam is that he follows Eve's lead in his answer to god, is subordinate, as the irrational is subordinate to the rational. When god expels Adam and Eve from Eden, he jumbles up these roles: Eve is made subordinate to, and to desire Adam, Adam is made ruler, sentenced to work in a feverish condition by the sweat of his brow, and the snake is designated simply as an eternal enemy to man. If Eve, provoked by god's placing the snake in the garden, has in return provoked god by her imitation of him and in her passing on the fruit to Adam, god again provokes by imposing roles, in a society of fixed role relations, that do not match the original traits of the persons playing the roles. Is this not like Socrates building his republic into a place where no one would choose to live? God will go so far as to select the best of men to personally wrestle, assault, torture. In the story that immediately follows the expulsion from Eden, Cain is upset when his sacrifice is not appreciated by god as much as his brother's. God reproaches him, saying, Do what is good and I will be pleased. The subordination that god creates by expressing his preference results in Cain's murder of Abel, and Cain receiving a mark fixing him in the role of one excluded. God seems to be demonstrating in story after story that he is not interested in particular laws which regulate social behavior, that is, role behavior. When Adam and Eve have eaten the fruit of knowledge, and they feel the need to cover themselves, they face god, answer god. It seems that this is what god wants, right here. The turning away from a bad behavior, not to any particular rule or role of behavior, but to good as represented by god's intentions towards his creation. In the cave myth of "The Republic", those who had been imprisoned within the cave and able to learn only about shadows of puppets, turn around and look away from imitations of imitations towards the real world. Adam and Eve, ashamed of their potential behavior with each other, and already in passage from being mere images of god, to being temporary possessors of god's attributes of immortality and knowledge of good and bad, turn around looking for more, looking to god for more, preparing to answer him as participants in the demonstration. He has provoked by sending the snake to them. And as they know now that even their own bodies provoke, they look at god warily, and return his provocation, as they are allowed, since they were made in his image. As Adam and Eve cover themselves for each other, they disguise themselves in their relation to god, as he has disguised himself in his relation to them. God covers himself in seeming to do bad, in order to teach; man covers himself in returning the provocation, for the sake of learning. But how could anyone say this society is good, which the good-making god has created? Like Plato's undesirable republic, the mass deaths of Hamlet's kingdom, the execution of Socrates, the good comes out of the teaching, the demonstration. The story of Adam and Eve continues: their descendants will make a compact with god, not with each other. They will continue to break the rules, and break out of their roles, and god will continue to provoke. And there are other compacts made, each directly with god. Face to face, man and god, society-making artist greets society-making artist, masks of art lowered only to be taken up again, the stage reset by the conditions of the new compact. Defined as they are as having both immortality and knowledge of good and bad, with either or both these possessions lost, or liable to be lost at any time, yet the regaining of both within reach - rules are useless to Adam and Eve in their attempt to regain and hold onto what they can have, to make the best of their situation. Obedience to rules is a forgetting of immortality: it is action taken under threat of death! (There is no immortality when faced with the prospect of its loss: that precisely is mortality.) And obedience depends on the persistence of our knowledge (of rules, of good and bad) on which persistence we know we cannot rely. The stories seem to be saying this: Neither immortality nor knowledge will ever be lasting. But knowledge and immortality can be regained, by turning away from bad and facing god, having participated in his demonstrations. To regain immortality seems paradoxical: your either are not ever going to die, or you are. Yet in the story logic, with god there to keep changing your status, it is possible. Still, what really is achieved with the return, if we know god can at any time end the immortality - and doesn't the story teach us to expect god to do this? Though what if immortality is never lost but only forgotten, and the actions we take are to recover the memory? This would make our action of learning to be the action of recollection, a primary position of Plato. His argument for the immortality of the soul can be seen as an expression of the logic of this particular situation: something is destroyed only by what is specifically bad for it - hot destroyed by cold, wet by dry. What is bad for the soul is ignorance. But ignorance does not destroy the soul, just as the loss of immortality after expulsion from the garden of Eden does not preclude a return. What is learned is how to make the return, and this skill is the result of experience. The knowledge gained takes the form of a story of personal action in the world of provocation and being provoked, a world built and dismantled simultaneously. Our knowledge is no more of something stable in the world, a world order, than our immortality is located in the moment of time in which we have brought ourselves into condition to re-experience our knowledge of it. Like god is not located in the world he has created and interferes with, nor the time of the events in the world have any meaning in relation to his (timeless) immortality. Turning away from our own bad action, we know good and bad from our own experience, not from obedience to rule, and we face god's immortality with no reminder of our own mortality, rather knowing that we are like him, and have been following him in our action. God teaches us through our personal experience to see his and our immortality. But the world in which we learn is something - let's not say illusory, rather fictional, or even better, mythical. It is a world created by immortals presuming themselves to be mortals. What value as truth can that sort of world have? Is there a philosophy to be found in this story? As in general the pre-Socratic philosophers described the change we find in our experience as variations, misleading or illusory, of an unchanging element: air, fire, water, the all - this story can be seen as describing the illusory variations of our unchanging personal relation to god (or to man as like god). This is consistent with Socrates' wish to learn to love with the aid of philosophic discourse, with personal relations in life-story taking a subordinate place to love itself, or love of good. And especially fits in with his doubting the possibility of human wisdom concerning things of the world, while allowing himself to make strait-forward claims to speak truly and to know what it is to act justly. The advantage of expressing a philosophy in a myth, a story of unaccountable origin and so of uncertain reason of composition and validity, is that the necessary act of interpretation involves accepting that there is a mystery, that in a way you are lost. Charmed, reminded, playing, you prepare yourself to understand what others have done when similarly lost. In the Greek and other ancient myths multiple gods frustrate each others actions, have this passivity or lack of power in relation to each other. God transfers this passivity to man, lets himself be treated by man as other gods have been treated by their fellow gods. At this time in history there was no presumption that a god must be all powerful, and need be none for us, so we do not ask why a well intentioned god could not have come up with a painless method of instruction. There is the question of when and for how long and how often we need to learn this lesson. We can imagine that temporary returns may be made to Eden's tree of life, and then we are back to learning god's lesson under sentence of death. 2. Terrorists And Anti-Terrorists Terrorism is a kind of provocation, but what kind? The terrorists wish to remain in history, but cause a change in its movement. They believe god has given them the power to accomplish this. The anti-terrorist, however, if he also wishes to remain in the history he wishes to change, may have doubts about what he is doing. Rather than he being the hero who somehow, performing god's will (or history, progress, enlightenment, the nation, etc.), causes history to move in the direction he chooses, it seems to the anti-terrorist that the causal relation works in the other direction: from all the people who perform historical actions, to him: he merely takes responsibility, gives his name to the direction history is already moving. Such is Tolstoy's view of history in his novel "War and Peace". He describes the crowd of humanity arranged in a cone, with the leader on the top absolutely without power, and those on the lower levels with lesser and lesser responsibility more and more freedom of action. The more alone, less integrated into the crowd, the more freedom. In a family, individuals merge into one, so in that solitary organism retain their freedom to live, ideally "loving life in all its manifestations". When the child, who has his existence in the family, is killed by terrorists, the anti-terrorist is unable to issue judgment: both he and the terrorist live in the crowd of history, in which there is no free will. History acts according to laws, which resemble closely the laws by which animals kill and intimidate each other. Animals protect their families and their territories. History shows human beings doing the same. The anti-terrorist cannot, from the perspective of history, contemn the terrorist. He believes his analysis of history is more scientific than the terrorist, that individuals cannot control the action of all individuals in the crowd. He believes that therefore the best that can be hoped for is to bring war into peace, peace being, like it is in the animal kingdom, a more stable territorial distribution. In Shakespeare's "Timon of Athens", in which fortune is described as a hill, and an individual's place on it not determined by merit, Alciabades says, "Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each proscribe to the other...." Timon, the hero of generosity, and Apemantus, the misanthrope, in clowning repartee accuse each other of disdaining history only because of suffering history: Timon because his riches deserted him, Apemantus because he never had any wealth. They criticize fortune within the crowd, therefore without freedom. Alciabades enters politics with an appeal for a friend's pardon. When denied, he wages war. War, as in Tolstoy's book, represents history, and Alciabades wages war for himself and for the sake of his friend Timon - his family as it were - for the sake of a curative return to peace. The language Shakespeare uses is biological, as well as medical, with the cycle of war and peace weighted onto the side of peace: war breeds peace, peace stints war. War is a medicine peace prescribes to itself sparingly. In this model, unlike Tolstoy's, there is a relation between the freedom of the individual (in his family) and history's causality, as expressed by the difference between the serious character of Alciabades and of the history-trapped comic misanthropes Timon and Apemantus. The individual enters into history with a specific and temporary need, and then withdraws from history. In the "The Comedy of Errors" a traveler feels that he is not himself as he wanders through a strange town. When his identity is mistaken, he decides to "entertain the fallacy" of this strange life become like a fairy tale. How he acts in the circumstances that follow in the play is how an individual acts when he leaves the peace of private life and enters into the war of history: he entertains the fallacy of the seeming causality of that world, of his seeming participation in it. History is an organism that would consider himself part of it, but he does not give it a status in which his own "real" life can be represented: far from being a hero, he is more like the artist shaping material external and of an entirely different status than himself who is the fashioner of it. Tolstoy used the word "incommensurable" to describe this relation of the individual to the historical. From the point of view of such an individual, the terrorist's deliberate murder of children can be condemned. It is, in fact, the clearest possible instance of a wrong action. History is the curse of the individual, and his opponent drawing him into a fight to protect his family. It is entered into only when necessary, and in a state of mind in which love and individual freedom is suspended in a sort of game. The child is as yet outside of history. The terrorist's deliberate murder of children erases the distinction between free will and causality, love and history. It is truly a cause of war. 3. Children And History The argument protects children, but does so only if they can be shown to be in fact outside of history. History has been defined as a sort of organism or machine operating according to strict laws. Is childhood exempt then from causality? Generally a child lives in an unexamined security on which he relies while he plays. He plays in the world operating according to strict causality, but he doesn't see its laws. He sees in the world his deliberate, fantastic alteration of it, and he wonders at its incompleteness. When something in the world is arrived at that is substantial enough to be linked to other things by a cause, the child loses interest, and returns back to unexamined security. The child's secure life separate from history may also be described by those so minded as determined according to causal laws. But there is no causal link in the mind of the child between the secure home life, and the causality of history, and that is the point. The world is not seen clearly, home life is unexamined. The child's retreat is clear cut and final. The adult's relation to history is almost entirely opposite. He retreats into the machine of society, not away from it. And the retreat itself becomes an instrument of society, part of its causal mechanism. Besides separate elements, a machine requires a force to set the parts moving. As Tolstoy observed, no one knows or agrees on what the force is behind the movement of history. He only offers in passing a biological analogy. What are the parts of society? In Plato's luxurious, feverish society in which every profession requires another for its practice rather than each simply providing the others goods in exchange, the doing what others want, and how they want it done, invades the practice of roles. In time what we desire becomes separate from what we have learned from our own experience is good. It may be good, but we must, to keep our jobs, do otherwise. This "impersonal" desire, desire that is no longer linked to personal knowledge of good, becomes the elemental force that sets in motion the machine of history. It works like this: We don't really know what other people who practice complementary roles want of us. That is, we don't understand why what they want is good - in fact it is not good, for they also are adapting what they want to the demands of players of other roles. We know what other roles demand of us by observing probabilities: some actions have been found to be more likely to meet with approval and support. Since adults have no longer the security children have in their parents' protection, they look for the security they need in choosing social roles with a higher probability of acceptance and continuance. Impersonal desire, since it no longer is based on knowledge, finds many objects. They are selected on the basis of association with power. The woman of a type most desired by others is desired; the particular woman most desired by others is desired. And this is the basic machine. Social roles of greater probable security are moved towards by the force of impersonal desire. Unlike a child, the adult while intoxicated by impersonal desire has no separate life, has no protected retreat "incommensurate" with history. He is invisible to himself. Everything he sees while intoxicated reflects his desire back to him. In "War And Peace" Tolstoy describes Pierre losing himself under the influence of an attraction to Helene that everyone around him seems to approve of and to urge him to give in to, since she is his match in wealth, beauty, social class, uniqueness. When he does marry, his revulsion is immediate. He doesn't like her and never has. Later it comes about that he lends himself to a dual to save her honor, honor which he admits to himself has not the slightest reality. In fighting a dual he has escaped from the first type of part self action, impersonal desire, to the second, that of surpassing, profiting, or "spirit" as Plato called it. Feeling shame for the practice of a role - whether because another has forced you into it or your own impersonal desire has left you with it - you attempt to reverse the roles, and become the one to force another into a shameful position as social probabilities define it. The third part self - impersonal reasoning - originates from this practice of surpassing. Andre feels trapped by his marriage. He knows his wife is one of those rare ones with whom his honor (second, surpassing part self) is safe, but nevertheless he is bored and unsatisfied. Probabilities of role can always be better, and the life he is leading is petty. It seems that if he could get to the top of all roles he would be free from constant defensiveness and pervasive triviality. He desires to perform the role that would draw the attention and gratitude of all: be the savior of the nation. This is now a kind of reasoning entirely freed from personal desire or advantage. In fact, it applies equally to the soldier who wishes to submit himself to the Emperor, symbol of complete attention and power, since submission and heroism produce the same result of escape from disgust that impersonal desire leaves one with, and the boredom and instability of surpassing others. The three actions: impersonal desire, surpassing, and impersonal reason, are the three social classes in Plato's republic, and the three parts of the self. The Republic shows justice arising when the three parts of self are harmoniously incorporated separately in three different social roles. If we look again at "War And Peace", we find that those individuals who practice the part self action associated with each of the three roles, neither perform their job well, nor get along well with the other two role type representatives. Speransky, the adviser to the Tsar renowned for his reasoning, the narrow minded German generals, the suspicious peasants, are described as inferior, respectively, to the Tsar himself, to Kutusov who reads novels, falls asleep in conferences, is amorous, and to the peasant philosopher Karataev, each of whom plays his part well and communicates well with his counterparts. The individuals in Plato's republic correct each other, keep each other going, but do nothing to cure themselves of the feverish condition of mutual dependent roles that originally threw them together and which, according to Tolstoy, limits the ability of individuals and society as a whole to function well. The three social roles are in fact each progressive reductions in the freedom of individual action: there is an increasing technical alignment with the laws of probability and impersonal desire that regulate the choice and practice of roles. The workers who merely desire are more free than the soldier whose profession it is to surpass, who are more free than the leaders whose job it is to reason. The individual does not have, is not actually divided into three parts. Rather, after choosing a particular course of action, he moves in a situation that is logically and completely determined, given the starting conditions. Once the individual leaves the security of childhood, agrees to the necessity of practicing mutually dependent roles, and he exchanges unexamined security for the probability of being able to continue practicing his role, he has entered into the machine of history. The three part self has its genesis and reality only in that machine. When the child's security is threatened, his response is passionate. That is, an unexamined flight or attack aimed at recovering the original secure conditions. As the child develops, the fear, terror, anger at the world is joined by responses to threats to the place he has become aware that he occupies in his private secure world, his sense of self in the family: melancholy, despair, indignation follow. Then, with a more complex awareness of himself in relation to his increased knowledge of the world, comes misanthropy ( Timon of Athens, e.g.), disgust, and destructive nihilism. All these passions engage the world dramatically, but are essentially defensive of pre-existing security. Early 19th Century literature abounds with good examples of individuals locked in passionate battle with the world. Tolstoy's world is completely different, with a multitude of characters, in episodic conflicts with each other but for the most part each pursuing their own paths independently. They are motivated not by passions, rather they alternate a child-like search for love, with falling into one after another the part-self behaviors (impersonal desire, surpassing, desire-less reasoning). Tolstoy describes adults caught in the machine of history, attempting to free themselves by understanding history. That is, they are attempting to replace a child's unexamined security with an adult's security of knowledge. Concurrent with this late 19th century appearance of a world new to literature was appearance of the new science of psychology and its fascination with hypnosis and suggestion. The power of suggestion can be understood as a consequence of impersonal desire. When what you want is dependent on probabilities established by the behavior of other people, these other people can be said to suggest particular actions. As the reasoning leaders need the desiring workers to give them needs to reason about how to satisfy, as the surpassing soldiers need reason's help to tell them whom to fight, the part self actions lead one to another, each compensating the incompleteness of the other. But this works also within the individual alone. Speransky, a reasoning machine in public life, at home indulges with a sense of surpassing in artificial laughter. Pierre goes from disgust with his impersonal desire of Helene, to the heights of reason ordering all of life, participating in the collective dreams of the masons, then tries the surpassing acts of becoming Napoleon's assassin, as he had earlier fought a dual with Anatole. Pierre traces the origin of these later desires to himself, or in mysterious numerical correspondences. But finding himself married to Helene, Pierre cannot say why he did what he knew was wrong: was it his own impersonal desire, which he had a longstanding habit of indulging, or was it the urging of Vasily and the others? He was intoxicated when he made the choice, unaware of himself, everywhere he looked he saw a reminder of his desire for Helene, each reminder adding up, producing a probability that the desire should be acted upon, would give him a role that was secure and powerful. He could look back on his insecurity in not being able to choose a career, but how that instability lead him into this marriage he couldn't exactly say. Self part action begins from mutually dependent roles, and ends there: mutual dependence establishes impersonal desire, then a calculation of what might satisfy that desire with the greatest security gives that desire a social component. First desire is stripped of personal meaning, then it acquires a social meaning. Since our desire has become social, a suggestion from outside - from society - can at times coincide more or less with what is individual but impersonal. It passes across a border between social and individual, being both at the same time. Since self is not observed in the intoxicated action of impersonal desire, it is difficult to call back to mind the path that lead from mutually dependent roles to the counting that makes a determination of probability. To later reflection, it seems that the other's action mysteriously had brought about one's own action. The condition of mutual dependence set Pierre moving with impersonal desire. Vasily and other's suggestion to him to marry "The Beautiful Helene" gave that movement a direction. Pierre marries. Who then can say whether another's suggestion caused the action, or his own insecurity of having no clear role in life? The society of mutually dependent roles, with its lawful operation causing role players to perform self part actions, is a community of continuous suggestion to perform part self actions. When the suggestion coincides with the conclusion of a movement of impersonal desire, the causal relation between individuals becomes invisible (thus magically suggestive) The two causes, inner and outer, which give direction to the "force" of impersonal desire are indiscernible one from the other. 19th century literature again provides illustration. Maupassant seems in fact to be a specialist in telling stories of individuals intoxicated by desire submitting to suggestion, the more astonishing the suggestion the better. In "The Awakening", a woman confused by desire that appears into her life from nowhere, inexplicably finds herself submitting not to the suitor she thinks of but to the advances of his rival. In "Marroca", a girl wants to have her lover in her conjugal bed, not because she hates her husband, but because she loves him. In "Mad?", a man, unwilling to let himself be surpassed in his wife's affections, reaches the extreme of being jealous of the horse she rides. In each of these cases, an impersonal desire, or wish to surpass, leads the character into intoxicated fascination with inappropriate objects, precisely because those objects, though they do not satisfy any reasonable desire, do have social probabilities. A woman who feels impersonal desire for a man for the first time, awaits the added probability, role security, that the suggestion of another man brings before letting herself finally submit. The married woman wants her lover in her husband's bed, for the same reason, to have him benefit from the probabilities of a husband's role. A man is jealous even of a horse, because in his defensive desire to surpass he keeps seeing her go out to ride, day after day; to his sight it is as if she is becoming engaged to the animal. In each case, suggestion, working through social probabilities, determines the outcome of desires. (Maupassant seems to be gloating over this unreasonable truth he has discovered.) So closely tied is suggestion to one's social motivation to impersonal desire, that when that motivation is lacking suggestion fails, and Maupassant explores this truth as well. In "A Parisian Adventure", the wife of a provincial notary goes to Paris to taste "forbidden desires", meets by chance a famous writer, presses him to share every activity of his day with her: 'What do you do at this hour? Let's go.' But reaching time for bed, instead of the expected delirious embraces, they ignore each other. The writer is "too demanding", she "too simple". The woman's launch of herself into impersonal desire is unmotivated except by fantasy, no real insecurity is behind it. There is no complex background of social roles to make a suggestion to the seducer she has searched for. He discerns no probability, no power is represented, in gaining possession of her. He doesn't understand her. Like the narrator in "The Log", he looks for, but fails to see, "the curious eyes of a woman who would know, those eyes of a woman who are not all that young, where the curiosity is reflective, complicated, often malicious...." A character in "The Ruse" puts it this way: "I am certain that a women has not been matured enough for true love until she has passed through all the disgusts and disappointments of marriage...A woman cannot love passionately until she has married. If I can compare her to a house, I would say that she is not habitable until a husband has dried the plaster." Social probability must be at both ends of impersonal desire, or suggestion can not have the mysterious power that originates in that doubling. In the story "Rust", a man falls ill whose whole interest in life is hunting, and finds it possible to be interested in a woman for the first time. He thinks of marrying, but has doubts about whether he can perform the necessary physical acts. He too goes to Paris for solution to this mystery of impersonal desire, but finds himself a failure in his experiments, so intends to call off the marriage. The wife of his friend, told the story, comments, "But when one loves one's wife, you understand, that thing comes always." The husband doesn't reply, a little embarrassed himself ( because this is not his own experience?). Impersonal desire, like suggestion, requires social motivation for it to arise. In "The Log", we read that man and women can only be in a relation of surpassing to each other, master and slave, tamer and tamed: and this for Maupassant is the social background that sets a women out on the path of impersonal desire, and that suggests to a man that he seduce her. There seems to be some similarity between these stories of mad or incompetent desire, and Poe's stories written in the early 19th century. But Poe follows the defensive course of passions, not the social entanglements of impersonal desire. In fact, in his stories of detection Poe creates a character who can pass through society without losing himself, who has discovered the perfect defensive role. His detective is the best reasoner of all, but is far from practicing the impersonal reasoning of a Speransky. The detective is not himself when he reasons, he speaks in another voice. And though he reasons about cases in the world, he has deliberately isolated himself from society, shuttering the windows of his house and barring the door during the day, studying and coming out only at night into a mysterious shadowed world. (The same "not me" and fairy tale world of the "The Comedy of Errors".) Suggestion determines which parts of the machine (role players) will bring themselves into alignment to which. It is an essential component of the machine of History. Mysteriously traveling between inner and outer life, suggestion precipitates out of the soulless mechanism of history a sense of shared society. And there is an actual personal cohesiveness in the stability created by the mutual dependence and correction of the three part self actions. Since traveling their unending circuit is itself a social role, the practice is rewarded with a certain probability of security. Pierre wonders at himself having become something he had contempt for most of his life, an idle aristocrat. He asks himself whether they too had gone through one phase after another looking for a place in life, finally abandoning the attempt. He looks at them then with a new sympathy. There is in practicing this social role of self part circuiting an illusion, a metaphoric fantasy, that one is not, what in fact is the case, fleeing from oneself, but is rather completing oneself in the process, that one's own parts of self are being brought into a stable harmony. And though that too provides an sense of security, it is no more true than that there is a social harmony produced among the three social classes of self parts. There are no known laws, no known causality, that require that individuals leave the security of childhood for the impersonal desire, role probability security, part self behavior of a society of mutually dependent roles. People have done this, and do it to this day. The alternative path has been ably described by Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Poe and others. It is there in the story of Eve. It is not known how many people with the knowledge of how the machine operates would be necessary to interfere with its efficiency. We do know that the few people we are aware of in history who have had that knowledge have not had that effect. 4. Eve The Wild Animal "You see how I give myself! My poor body, it is fairly timid. What does it matter? Offend it. Train it. Think of yourself. It is not important. Seek me at the bottom of my eyes. It is there that I am all entire, with all that I love and all that I wish. You sense the calm in my eyes? You are going to forget all the rest? Look better. I am unique, I swear to you! Sensible, intelligent, perceptive, above all so tender, if you knew, so taken with life, and so insatiable! Oh! You will love me when you know. My body, it is a road which runs from you to me, which it is necessary to pass quickly....Come! Do you feel that we are nearing each other? Say! Do you feel that you are going to love me?.... - And he, more demanding in assessment, thought: My god! All this she dares! Poor little thing. If you knew how all that you have given me bares you, bares me to my very self! What have you done? What have you undone?" This from Paul Geraldy's 1923 "Prelude". Like in other novels of the times (for example Bennet's "Imperial Palace"), an unconventional woman who is out unprotected in the world attracts a man by her seemingly ideal combination of childishness and ambition. He considers that he has the best of both worlds, a woman to admire and a friend he is proud of for her accomplishments as he prides himself on his own. But with experience, he finds that her childishness is not innocence and her ambition is not honorable: her role behaviors find no stability or value in the society he lives among. He becomes ashamed of her, and leaves her. Because her ambition is uncontrolled she seems wild, because her innocence is uncontrolled she seems an animal. And of course she resents being seen as a wild animal: "There emanated from this nudity something grandiose and high which one felt no caress could ever attain, which humiliated voluptuousness. But the young woman, she too, remained as if inferior to her own beauty. She incarnated a grand mystery, and a completely obscure nature, but she seemed ignorant of it." 5. Child as Hero of History Children enter history as for Maupassant women become wives: they are matured, marked in such a way that placement in the new role is declared and return back to the old life blocked. Adam rules over Eve, as previously he ruled the garden of Eden. Adam is "Earth", and he must work with sweat of his brow the earth of thorns and thistles which has been cursed by god. Eve, the mother of all living, desires Adam, though as a consequence she will give birth in pain. The pain of both Adam and Eve's roles marks the insecurity of the condition of mortality newly imposed by god. In the Abel and Cain story that follows choice and preference come into play. Thus we find at the story's conclusion two factors: first, roles of innocence (motherhood and childhood) and ambition (work and ruling over), and second, the need for the security that being chosen to participate in role relations can bring. Just as the snake persuaded - and the snake is there too in the world outside of Eden - the children of Eve must persuade each other to be chosen in their roles of innocent mother, or working ruling ambitious father. Ambition and innocence are actions in role done with the hope of gaining the reward of regular association with another's complementary action in role. The institution of religion would give a child a powerful role, in which the innocence of childhood could be practiced in the form of piety. The child, who as he ages sees approaching the limit of his security, is offered a powerful version of his soon to be powerless innocence. He is shamed into maturation. The hero of Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", shy of his body and the bodies of others, and comparatively blind to images and places, cannot accede to the suggestion of fellowship in religion. Instead he finds his destiny in "forging the uncreated consciousness of his race", "mirroring his individual emotions in a lucid rhythmic prose", performing an artist's role, practicing the rhetorical and poetic forms of his race, but only for the end of recurrent musical return flight back to innocence of soul. This hero of history practices the adult role, the artist role of representing the emotion of his times, but not to achieve the rewards of fellowship, instead merely as a strictly instrumental return to innocence of childhood. Like Eve, he knows that role activities are not good. They are conditions of mortality, and Adam and Eve are in fact not really mortal. We can imagine that Eve saw this society of roles imposed upon her and Adam as god's attempt at creating a permanent instrument of provocation. And we can imagine further that her example teaches her descendants to provoke in turn, by practicing their roles ironically, forming a mockery of society within themselves. This is seen clearly in Swiss character. In Zurich especially, where Joyce was living at time "Portrait" was published, where the ambition of money making and keeping is practiced without any ethical restraint other than the necessity of not losing money (having to pay a penalty when caught breaking other people's rules), together with an innocent hiding in a private life lived with the sense that it is separate from any meaning derived from public money making and keeping. Male and female practice both role behaviors, public money making and private innocence. Rousseau brought this role practice with his Geneva citizenship into his philosophical writings, expressing his ambition to be known as the genius of innocence. Parts of self need other parts of self, the ambitious part needs the innocent part , and vice versa. Neither is the innocence natural, nor the ambition creative, since they both are practiced merely as a persuasion for the sake of, in the ambition for, being chosen. The parts of self in the individual choose each other, are pleased with each other, harmonize, fit justly to each other, in the same way the male role and female role in society at large complement each other. A man can be publicly ambitious in his work, go home and be privately innocent sitting self reflective in his arm chair, waiting for a visit from his lover, whom he appreciates for her feminine innocence, and who in turn appreciates him for his success as a money maker and provider of security. The American variant: public innocence and private ambition (that is, materialism, more and more properties acquired), public immortality and private mortality. As with the Swiss, neither role is natural or independent. The public innocence, and private ambition to acquire materials, serve each other, in both society and the individual. In terms of social roles, a privately ambitious American woman can chose the company of a publicly kind American man, yet the same woman within herself contains and practices both parts, producing an appearance of innocence in public, while keeping an eye on the material profits she can privately acquire. In the American society's history, public innocence goes to extremes, at which point for the individual the two roles cannot any longer be harmonized. The public expression of freedom and welcoming of strangers is retreated from. When a balance is restored within the individual - not necessarily within society - public expressions of innocence can redevelop. (Within this cycle, we are now at a time of dismantling public innocence, re-establishing personal harmony of self-part roles.) Whether the innocence is located in the public life or private, the ambition in the public or private life, makes no difference to the basic situation. Before the expulsion from Eden, Eve was the reasoner, Adam the desiring. After the expulsion, Eve was the desiring, Adam the decision making ruler. A division of social roles based on division of self-parts continues. In the examples of two modern societies which express the idea of innocence, in fact innocence is not practiced. Through their imitation in play it is "kept in mind". Society teaches or reminds the individual of what he has lost, and substitutes a repeated reminder for the reality. To see that the Swiss private innocence is only in play, all that is necessary is to threaten the protection of public ambitions the play time relies on. To see that the public innocence is only play for Americans, all that is necessary is to threaten their private ambitions for property acquisition. For Rousseau, role behavior was a necessary compromise, his saving provocation located only in the deliberate irony of role playing. But since the provocation cannot re-establish the innocence that is merely imitated, we might look on that provocation as itself an imitation of Eve's original provocation. It succeeds in retaining a mental picture of innocence, but only that. In terms of Plato's republic, a society, itself a product of individuals, expresses the relation of self-parts in the individual. Aristotle, missing the republic's ironic reduction to absurdity, wrote that the society could express and teach good life and happiness, a proper relation of self-parts. Whereas it is clear that Plato believed no relation of self parts or roles could ever be good, since action in role, using others as instruments to that action, is not good. In the dialog "Lysis", Socrates says the argument mocks him and his fellows in conversation, since he is lead to the conclusion that friends must be good in themselves, but they had been arguing that friends must be good for curing the bad in ourselves; in other words, that friends played a role that was good because it cured us of our bad role playing. The good in itself is obtained only outside the world of roles. But since a society expresses the individual only through the arrangement of roles, we must not look to society for a teaching about the individual. Rather, the individual learns by investigating the nature of society. Democracies, according to the scheme in "The Republic", are expressions of a domination of the desiring part of self. The modern Swiss and American democracies, by expressing, in the subservient role of reason, the idea of innocence, attempt to incorporate a teaching of provocation. This as we have seen is a failure, never extending beyond the realm of imitation. This failure arises out of the assumption that the provocation is permanent. The innovative thinking that created or is expressed in the garden of Eden story gets lost in a return to an earlier monotheism of one continuous ceremony. However, an individual's participation in society is not necessarily continuous: religious experience, love, pity and laughter all occur independent of society. As disillusionment is the name of the experience of finding we do not understand what we have loved and which has disappointed us, Eve's being provoked in Eden expresses the situation of disillusionment, not with any particular love, but with life in general . This condition of provocation can end; a return can be made to the tree of life. From within the security that love brings, its reminder of immortality, the same situation of being provoked and provoking becomes laughable. (In Shakespeare's comedies, role reversal occasions laughter, not pain.) How does the situation of disillusionment and provocation look? Like a place returned to where once you loved and were loved. This is what Adam and Eve know they must make their way back to, having been expelled from Eden. But as already said, what they feel first, after eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, is shame. Again, shame can be defined as seeing oneself caught in an act expressive of an unwanted role. But one only feels shame if one wishes to continue practicing another, wanted role: someone independent of all roles is never ashamed. Again, the interesting thing about a luxurious role society is that it first attracts into the various dependent roles a concentration of like characters into each profession. But each profession exerts pressure that is a direct consequence of the concentration of particular character type that has been attracted to the profession. The patient who eats too much calls forth the professional doctor to the luxurious, but also the authoritative character that has been attracted to the profession makes demands on the patients that they acquire a submissive role, play a dependent part, no matter whether that was their original character or not. Character traits associated by chance with professional roles thus put pressure on other role players to alter their character in order to play along in their role. In this way one professional after another comes in turn to play a shameful part. Shame appears in the Eden story immediately after acquiring knowledge of good and bad. In this case it is sexual shame, because sexuality is the only specified regular relation there is between Adam and Eve at this point in their story. And when god reverses their roles at the expulsion, he is seeking to establish a condition of permanent shame. So at the very beginning of the history of mankind, the mechanism of society is seen and taught in both its phases. First the concentration, or "persuasion", of character types into professions. Then those professional character types exert pressure on other character types to submit to shameful, adaptive change when cooperation becomes necessary. We can see the snake in his persuasion as publishing job openings, something like Socrates in "The Republic" going through one after another the basic types of luxurious professions which imply each other. Whereas provocation involves making use of established roles to drive someone into an avoided, shameful role. Hamlet investigates, reveals by provocation the character of the King, who when trying to pray can be seen avoiding, hiding even from himself, his role as ambitious politician. (And the king does fall into role, believing that Hamlet is hunting him down.) When Joyce investigates his individual emotions and forms the uncreated consciousness of his race in his social role as artist, he is both persuading and provoking. Persuading his readers to innocence, and provoking with his sacrilege. Acting alternately the pre-scientific leader who mystically causes historical change, and the dependent expression of history. But since both activities are encapsulated within a social role, no one is freed, neither reader nor writer. The reader is acculturated to his times, his ways of life reflected back to him and offering a model for repeated practice. Unlike what we see in Shakespeare and Tolstoy, there is no particular home, place or person in the world, that is lost and through investigation returned to. A model role is shown, the general situation in life to be imitated. The reader, far from being provoked and purified, is secured in his participation in modern life. Joyce, as he works as an artist, as he makes images and associations between images, practices both innocence and honor. Practices Innocence in making a return to spirit, out of the world, and practices honor in his mockery of forms of religion, family, nation, philosophy, literature. He does both simultaneously, in a musical rhythmic flight away from the world to spirit and fall from spirit back to the world. Joyce, as the maker of a product - the musical words themselves - provides a service within history: he persuades his readers to accept this product as a new beauty, pleasing and useful to the reader as a model of current life. The artist has the honor of his mockery of social forms, has the child-like innocence of his individual feelings, and the heroism of rising from his detailed experience through the making of images. (Like Rousseau, he also claims the honor of his innocence.) The reader however has the benefit only of the beauty of representation, and the usefulness of the model. The reader himself does not heroically circle in and out of history and innocence while he reads through the individual feelings and multitude of mocked social forms. The reader does not experience his own innocence and his own honor while reading. The reader is the audience to, is being persuaded to follow a suggestion: find a place in the world by following my model of provoking innocence, use sharply observed individual feeling to form images and associations, and fall back from a mockery of those images into individual feeling. See the elements of modern life, and take control of them. The form that control takes is mutual inhibition. The individual feelings are built into images that have no value, or negative value, or value only in limiting the ability of feelings to become stable. In other words: "Bring impersonal desire into confrontation with the social forms that are its products." High experience shames low experience, and low high: body here beautiful, body here disgusting. High social practice shames low, and low high: religious ritual and cannibalism. Social practice shames experience, experience shames social practice: body beautiful and cannibalism, body disgusting and religious ritual. Obviously this defensive proposal could interest only those practicing impersonal desire and participating in the resulting roles: there is nothing shameful in a true individual's search for truth, in his personal experience and his own attempts at understanding it. Joyce goes on to declare himself more openly in "Ulysses", in which 1. He describes the three impersonal desires (desire, surpassing, reason) 2. He practices himself those impersonal desires in making that description 3. He claims that in this practice he experiences and produces a rebirth of spirit All three acts together form the artist's role he claims the honor of practicing. The book itself, in its enormous depth of repetition of impersonal desires, is evidence that they are strengthened not weakened by this artistic practice. Awakening from ritual, by the practice of ritual, does not free you from ritual. The creative use of language, by taking for its subject and its intention what is opposed to creation, locks itself in a cycle, itself making what it must escape from: this repetitive cycle is fundamentally uncreative. Being uncreative in his personal life, the artist finds his reward in his social role. Modern man likes Joyce's suggestion, that by mockingly participating in both meaningless individual experiences and social forms he nevertheless can be free from history, be free by the very act of ironic participation. Joyce's elements of analysis - individual experience, and social forms - because they are isolated from each other leave unexamined how the individual in his experience creates his place in society. The gap in the analysis allows history, banished by his spiritual art of continuous rebirth from present experience, to return though the back door of social role. In the dark background behind an imitated spiritual enlightenment the impersonal desires grow ever magnified, building society. The modern artist, the child hero of history, is still in history. - History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake. From the play field the boys raised a shout. A whirring whistle: goal. What if that nightmare gave you a back kick? - The ways of the Creator are not our ways, Mr. Deasy said. All history moves towards one great goal, the manifestation of God. Stephen jerked his thumb towards the window, saying: - That is God. Hooray! Ay! Whrrwhee! - What? Mr. Deasy asked. - A shout in the street, Stephen answered, shrugging his shoulders. 6. Knowing Love Socrates was a kind of magician: he made the world disappear while he spoke of it. His speech was love and philosophic definition together. When we love, the solid world dissolves in unity behind the image of the loved one. And in the course of questioning, as we look in expectation of resolution at our particular attempts, the answer is yet undefined. Resolution would conclude in sight of love, and so again find no clearly defined world. That is Socrates technical innovation, his trick: resolution always concludes with love. He said he wished to love with the aid of philosophic discourse. Assuming he could do it, we easily imagine he held in fascinated dialog with him people who were doing something much different. Who in fact practiced impersonal desire, all three versions having a prominent place, acted and discussed, in the dialogs. He confronted impersonal desire with his personal desire. We can define personal desire by his example, because he has established an object of desire which can only be personal: overcoming the obstacle to self observation that comes with social life (those very impersonal desires). In science, individual experiments receive public confirmation. However, individuals must make their experiments in social life, and seek confirmation in private reflection. This because social life, uncorrected by the results of observation, causes forgetting and so renders self observation impossible. Socrates disables the impersonal desires by his magic, and by his practice offers a model to replace what is temporarily invisible. This is true for himself as well. New, personal, objects of desire appear, those which have helped us, in one way or another, to hold to this victory. Something well made, the dialog itself, well spoken, the discriminating language, well done, the pursuit of love - we call these objects beautiful, true, good - and the desire we feel towards them is gratitude for what they have taught us. Our desire is personal because it reflects our own experience of learning. The child's security is the unexamined protection of his family. The adult's security is his desire, this particular practice of desire. It is knowing how to love, rather than knowledge of the world. It is not security in knowledge - the latter day snake's provoking suggestion - but knowledge of security: a trust in love we know how to hold to - a clear tie to a world that is not defined any more than we ourselves are. All rules of conduct are secondary to this practice of knowing love - the developed religion, the mature fruit of knowledge brought by Eve's provocation. 7. Comedy Bloom is a child who plays with what he sees in the world. But Bloom is also a Jew, trapped in childhood by surrounding hostility to "his race". His professions of love and numerous expressions of pity and sympathy show sentimentality - emotion that is not tied to time and place, to the individual's history of experience. Capable of momentary, circumstantial criticism, of the form, "I don't really like that", that is, criticisms of the passions of approach and retreat, Bloom, the amateur of science, does not question the relation of his experience and social life. Does not, having experienced disillusionment, search for his way back to love. He does not reason, form conclusions from many experiences about what is good and what he understands of himself and others, does not reflect on his past experience to understand his place in the world. He accepts his place, so his unselfish emotion falls into the category of social role: "In these circumstances it is good to feel pity and love so I will feel pity and love." That role is " innocent Jew". His Jewishness traps him in childhood. Similarly, Dedalus's virtuosity with impersonal reasoning forces him to rely for security on his practice of art, on recurring spiritual rebirth. "Ulysses" ends with Bloom and Dedalus in a relation of father to son (but innocent Jew Bloom is the father and honorable intellectual authority Dedalus the son!). "Though they didn't see eye to eye in everything, a certain analogy there somehow was, as if both their minds were traveling, so to speak, in the one train of thought." A solution has been found to their problems of exile and usurpation, the roles of honor and innocence linked together in a new republic, more inner than outer. Sentimental union follows after role mockery, as it must according to the rules of comedy. Tragedy follows close in its tracks, in that history takes these unions seriously: - Mendelssohn was a Jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza. And the Savior was a Jew and his father was a Jew. Your God. - He had no father, says Martin. That 'll do now. Drive ahead. - Whose God? says the citizen. - Well, his uncle was a Jew, says he. Your God was a Jew. Christ was a Jew like me. Gob, the citizen made a plunge back into the shop. - By Jesus, says he, I'll brain that bloody Jewman for using the holy name. By Jesus, I'll crucify him so I will. 8. Serious History Eve steals knowledge from god. God punishes Eve and her race by subjecting them to history. Eve's inheritors, making use of the stolen knowledge, discover how to free themselves from history. Then they use their freedom to imitate god, applying his punishment to themselves, subjecting themselves to a history of a society they create within themselves, their movements of honor and innocence. They have pride in the operation of a machine: act/speak/make.......wait.......receive sight of god/love. First god's knowledge is stolen, then his punishment. Which crime does he punish? Punish theft of knowledge with more punishment? Or punish theft of punishment with new knowledge? New punishment again to be stolen, the honor of recaptured innocence a new episode to be incorporated in private histories? No, that god cannot do, no more than Hamlet will kill the king at his prayers. Punish theft of punishment with new knowledge. But can new knowledge be a punishment? Unjustly punished by misfortune, Job rages against god, complaining that he has been reduced to a state in which it is impossible for him to love. God appears to him, and answers, without disagreeing with Job's logic, that Job did not make the world, its eminences or inhabitants, and Job, more to the point, did not make the machine he uses to free himself from history and return to love. In effect, God says: I own that machine. It is out of your control, and in mine. Sometimes I will let you use it, sometimes I won't. If I don't always smile on you, you have the consolation, at those times, of not having to smile on me. You are right about sometimes being unable to love, but in blaming me you are wrong: You don't know your self or the world or what ties you to the world. You don't know me. Joyce's hero says there is a word known to all men. But how many know what this most reticent god revealed openly to Job? God returns the provocation. 9. Explain The Provocation In blaming god, Job is complaining that there should have been some reasonableness in life and the world that would have allowed him, if he'd taken it into account, to continue being good. This seems to be unexceptionable. But consider our story again. After Eden, god assigned man the role of reasoning ruler, woman the role of desiring ruled. In the course of history, man gives up the reasoning role to take on that of maker of displays of honor to an audience of woman maker of displays of innocence. The reasoning role is not suitable to making a competitive display, because it aims at bringing all the world together in a single whole, putting an end to the repeated need to take suggestions and to surpass. Honor, being ambitious and comparative, is perfect for winning the choice of the innocent. Both these roles can be played by a single person, sometimes with roles divided between public and private life, sometimes united in innocent experience made the material of honorable art. Innocence and honor are defined negatively, as desire-but-not-impersonal-desire, and desire-for-role-change-but-not-surpassing. But there are no such things as pure innocent desire or pure spiritual honor: these are only displays. There must always be an object to desire, and in this case, the object is to be the candidate chosen by the desired audience. What particular audience is desired is determined, in Plato's Republic, by the reasoning class. For Joyce and Tolstoy, the reasoning class is replaced by history of nation (or race), the conventions of which decide those experiences deemed the most innocent and those ambitions the most honorable. When Job blames god for making it impossible for him to be good, he is demanding that god play the role of reason, to his own roles of innocence and honor. God declines to play that role, and - what makes this so characteristic an act for him - there is nothing unreasonable in this. Innocence and honor depend on historical conditions that allow displays to be produced and witnessed and their competitive value established. God disables that machine of history, drawing the complaint that his world is unreasonable. But someone not playing these roles does not need the world to be reasonable, because he does not need to do anything except return to love. If history prevents this, then he is freed from doing anything, he is freed from history.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3515

__label__cc	0.713758	0.286242	Destination Guides, Small World Travel The Time We Were Robbed In A Fake Country One of the worst feelings when travelling is realizing your precious money that you have been pinching and stretching to prolong the travels, has vanished. Gone to some scumbag, drop kick that found a way to grab your loot while you were looking the other way. Other than a hooker stealing my iPod in Paris, I was robbed only one other time in all my travels. Fortunately my story of theft ends differently than most. It starts differently too. Carl, Johnny and myself where in Yerevan, Armenia with the plan to visit the self-declared country of Nagorno-Karabakh. It’s technically in Azerbaijan but uses Armenian language and currency. As of now there is no way to fly there and buses are a nightmare. The best option was to rent a car and drive 5 hours through the caucus mountains to the capital city of Stepanakert. The trip started with the hiccup of Johnny and Carl not being able to drive cars at the tender ages of 30 and myself being a capable driver, only I had lost my license a few months earlier in Malaysia. So with some mild deception we rented a Kia Rio (possibly the worlds smallest 4 seater car) and headed off to Karabakh. Johnny was our nav unit as we ripped out of the city center and headed for the highway. All was going great in the first 10 minutes of driving. I had missed the turn off for the highway and blown a red light. Not to worry though, Johnny had mapped out a secondary road that would get us back to the main highway. We veered right and followed on through. 100m in and we pass a dead dog. Not a reassuring start. After a km or so the road had heavily deteriorated and it looked more like a dirt bike track then a highway. We realized that we where driving on a road that had been shelled by the Russians 20 years prior. There were gaps of road completely missing and huge dips in the pavement. At one point I had to take a running start and 3 attempts to get up a steep incline. This road was ridiculous, it looked as though it had been bombed earlier that day. The road was getting more and more severe. Then crack, something on the car made a loud noise. We got out to inspect. I had snapped the bummer in half. If we knew the roads were going to be this treacherous we would have opted to get the insurance. We managed to eventually putt the little disfigured Kia out and onto the main highway. The drive to Nagorno-Karabakh was enchanting once we left Yerevan. The landscape changed every 30km or so. It made it one of the best drives I’ve ever done in my life. Hard to describe how stunning all the scenery was. The Rio drove a charm as well. We arrived late at night and scouted hotels. We choose a mid class one. One that was comfortable, affordable and safe. We didn’t choose well. The next day we headed out early to try to see the entire country in one day. The sites were limited but there was one very unique attraction. Agdam, a city of what was once 150 000 people in the yearly 90’s was bombed and left deserted. What was so amazing about this place was that there were no tourists. Imagine wandering around a city, completely abandoned. It’s fantastically eerie. There are a few people still living there but we didn’t see them. There is no running water, no electricity, no anything. The only people we did see were two photographers from national geographic. The next morning I awoke and started my ritual of getting the lads out of bed and into the shower. While the last was showering I reached in my bag to restock my wallet with cash for the day. I zipped it open. I zipped it closed. Then I zipped it open again. Gone. €100 and another $200 worth in Armenian currency gone. I began to panic a little. “Yo I’ve been robbed”. Johnny walks outta the shower. “What do you mean”. “My money, it’s gone”. At that point Carl walks in. “Dude, my money’s gone. Check yours”. I told him. Carl nervously breaks into his bag and feels around. You could literally feel the disappointment come over Carl. All of his €500 where gone. They had been kind enough to leave Carl a few of my smaller notes in Carl’s bag thinking we might just see that we had cash in our bags and not notice until later. This was at 11 or so in the morning and we had a big day of driving ahead of us with a deadline of having the car back on time. We went to the front desk and approached the teenager who had been there most of the weekend . We have been robbed we told him. He didn’t understand. English wasn’t very common in Karabakh. Our money it’s been taken we explained with hand gestures. Still blanks stares. “We are calling the police, our money has been stolen.” That sentence he understood. He quickly went and ushered in the owner of the hotel. His english was even worse. After an intense game of charades he looked pretty concerned. He calls someone. 5 mins later there is a translator. The 3 of us explain our situation. Money was there yesterday morning and gone this morning. He relays it back to the boss. He calls more of his friends. 15 minutes later there are 10 people all staring at us as we explain our situation. They decide to check the single camera that points on the lobby. We are offered tea and told to wait. After 10 minutes I get restless and walk into the office. It’s like a mob squad meeting. They are all chain-smoking crammed in a small office trying to figure out the video system. We didn’t want to get the police involved. We asked the owner several times to pay us back, and we would be on our way. They didn’t seem to think that was an option. After roughly 90 minutes of going nowhere one police man wearing ordinary clothes did show up. He listened briefly to our version through the translator and then got on the phone. We were really getting short on time. The translator told us they would find who did this and punish them. We thought, yea cool but we really just want out money back. He explained if we stayed there for a few weeks we could get it then or they could send it to us. Both sounded like we wouldn’t really see the money again. A few minutes later the officer walks in with the manager. He tells us they had found out it was the boys working reception who had taken our money. He then laid out a stack of cash equivalent to what was taken from us. I’m very sorry this has happened he said. The theifs will be punished. We do not want people to think of our country like this. He was very ashamed. We were very shocked. We thought we wouldn’t ever see the money again. We thanked him and his posse of helpers. Picked the money awkwardly off the table and where in the car and out of there in less then a minute. We floored the Kia back to Yerevan, just getting back on time. With some sneaky moves Johnny and I returned the beat and broken car without him noticing the damage. Saving ourselves from loosing money twice that day.

Puskar) By DAN SCIFO PITTSBURGH (AP) Dominik Kahun and the Pittsburgh Penguins are stepping up in the absence of injured captain Sidney Crosby and several other key stars. Kahun scored two goals and the Penguins routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-1 on Saturday night. "It's always tough when guys like (Crosby) don't play, but we have enough good guys here," Kahun said. "I think we showed that we can be a very good team. We just played solid." Kahun matched a career-high with three points, and 10 Penguins recorded points in the win. Bryan Rust also had a three-point game, with a short-handed goal and two assists. Jake Guentzel and Evgeni Malkin each had a goal and an assist, and Jared McCann also recorded his 100th NHL point with a goal for the Penguins, who bounced back from Friday's 2-1 loss at New Jersey. The Penguins have won three of their last seven games, and have points in seven of their last nine games. Tristan Jarry made 32 saves for Pittsburgh. Jarry has allowed two or fewer goals in four of five outings. Jason Spezza scored his second for Toronto. The Maple Leafs lost their fifth straight, their longest skid of the season. Kasimir Kaskisuo stopped 31 shots for Toronto in his NHL debut. "I thought we were good until they scored," Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. "Then they took over and they were way better than us. There's no reason for us to look the way we did tonight." Pittsburgh played without several key regulars, including Crosby, who is expected to miss at least six weeks after undergoing successful core muscle surgery on Thursday. Forward Patric Hornqvist missed his sixth game, D Kris Letang sat out his fifth and F Nick Bjugstad also missed after leaving Friday's loss at New Jersey. Pittsburgh is 98-55-21 in 174 games without Crosby since the beginning of the 2005-06 season. In 123 games without Crosby, Malkin has 67 goals and 163 points. He has 327 goals and 848 points in 738 games with Crosby. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan believes Malkin's confidence is growing. "Usually everybody in the rink can hear it when he wants it," Sullivan said. "I think that's an indication of how invested he is into the game. When he's feeling it, he tends to be vocal." Guentzel opened the scoring for Pittsburgh with a power-play goal at 6:38 of the first period. The Penguins had been 1 for 31 with one power-play goal in their previous 13 games prior to Guentzel's goal. It was their first home power-play goal since Oct. 10, against Anaheim, a 3 for 37 stretch. Malkin gave Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead 2:06 later. Guentzel set up Malkin in the slot and he beat Kaskisuo to the glove side with a wrist shot. "It's nice to get out on top early," Guentzel said. "For us to get those goals and kind of build on that was huge." Kahun scored 52 seconds into the second period, giving Pittsburgh a three-goal lead. Kahun scored his second goal less than four minutes later following a coach's challenge. Leafs' defenseman Jake Muzzin tripped Penguins forward Brandon Tanev, sending him crashing into Kaskisuo prior to Kahun's shot into a partially open net. It was initially ruled no goal, but Pittsburgh challenged and the play was reversed. Sullivan believed it was a key moment that led to the lopsided final. "If it's a successful challenge, it's 4-0, but if it's not, it's 3-0 and we put a real good power play on the power play," Sullivan said. "It's potentially a two-goal swing with a lot of hockey left. I just felt strongly that it was a trip." NOTES: Pittsburgh put Crosby on injured reserve and recalled Joseph Blandisi from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on an emergency basis. ... Sullivan said before the game Letang and Hornqvist have been skating. ... Maple Leafs F Trevor Moore did not play after leaving Friday's game against Boston with a shoulder injury. ... Malkin recorded his 18th multi-point game against the Maple Leafs. In 38 games against Toronto, he has 22 goals and 64 points. ... The Penguins have won 10 of their last 14 home games against Toronto. ... Pittsburgh has points in seven of its last eight overall at home. ... Rust has two goals and seven points in his last five games against Toronto. ... The Penguins have killed 20 straight penalties and 26 of their last 27. They have not allowed a power-play goal in nine games. Maple Leafs: Continue a season-long six-game trip Tuesday at Vegas. Penguins: Host the New York Islanders on Tuesday.

He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1991. Haynes formed a formidable partnership with Gordon Greenidge for the West Indies cricket team in Test cricket during the 1980s. Between them they managed 16 century stands, four in excess of 200. The pair made 6482 runs while batting together in partnerships, the third highest total for a batting partnership in Test cricket history.[1] Haynes favoured a more measured approach to batting. He compiled 7487 runs in 116 Test matches at an average of 42.29, his highest Test innings coming against England in 1984 with 184 off 395 balls. He is one of the few Test batsman to have been dismissed handled the ball, falling in this fashion against India on 24 November 1983. He is also one of the few players to have scored a century on an ODI debut. He first made his name on the international scene with 148 against Australia at Antigua in a One-Day International against Australia and until recently Haynes held a number of ODI records, including most runs and most centuries. His 148 against Australia came on his debut match in One Day International which still remains the highest run ever made by a batsman on debut in ODI as well as the fastest century scored by an ODI debutant.[2] He played in the World Cup of 1979, won by the West Indies, and returned to the competition in 1983, 1987 and 1992. In the 25 World Cup matches, Haynes scored 854 runs at 37.13 with three fifties and one century. As of 10 December 2013 Haynes remains one of the only two players in the history of ODI cricket to have scored century on both debut and last match played, the only other being English batsman Dennis Amiss. Haynes, when facing Australia in the bitter 1990–91 series, clashed verbally with Ian Healy, Merv Hughes, Craig McDermott and David Boon, who christened him 'Dessie'. He is also noted for using delaying tactics against England during the 1989–90 Test series.[3] Like most West Indian openers, Haynes was strong against pace and, after struggling against spin early in his career, developed into a strong player of slow bowling, exemplified by his knocks of 75 and 143 against Australia on an SCG dustbowl in 1989.[3] Haynes had a successful career in English county cricket, playing 95 first class games for Middlesex, scoring 7071 runs at 49.1 with a best of 255* against Sussex. He was awarded his Middlesex cap in 1989 and played at Lords till 1994. He played 63 first class matches for Barbados from 1976/77 to 1994/95, scoring 4843 at 49.92 with a top score of 246 and 21 games for Western Province from 1994/95 to 1996/97, making 1340 runs at 40.6 with a best of 202. In all first class cricket he made 26030 runs at 45.90 and 15651 more in 419 one day games at 42.07 with a top score of 152. He scored 61 first class hundreds in all and won 55-man of the match awards in all forms of the game. After his retirement from the game in 1997 Haynes has served as Chairman of Selectors of the Barbados Cricket Association, President of Carlton Cricket Club, Secretary of the West Indies Players Association and is currently a Director of the West Indies Cricket Board. He is a former Government Senator and was Chairman of the National Sports Council. His main relaxation is golf. A biography Lion of Barbados was published about him, punning on his middle name 'Leo'.

__label__wiki	0.629543	0.629543	Home Dealer Become a dealer Catalog Contact Promotions FAQ Frecuently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) History of the most important S.F.T. Swords SCOTISH BASKET HILT (ref.: 529) The term "broadsword," while it has become a generic term for the European sword in general, is not really an accurate term when used in that way. The only "true" usage of the word "broadsword" is when it applies specifically to the Scottish basket-hilt weapon of the 17th and 18th C., when that specific term was in usage to that specific weapon (what some people also call a "claymore") Early incarnations of the basket-hilt sword (right) was in many respects more effective than later models. The basket of steel bars does an excellent job of protecting the hand, yet does not add a great amount of weight. Well balanced, this is an excellent cut and thrust weapon. This distinctive 1831 Highland Broadsword features a full basket steel handguard lined with red felt and topped with red tassel and double-etched blade. Complete with steel scabbard this sword measures 41" overall with a blade length of 32". It weighs 3.8 pounds. This sword is Not Full Battle Ready. It has a high quality polished tempered stainless steel blade and can be sharpened. Ideal for display or stage use. CLAYMORE (ref.: 519) The Scottish Claymore was usually identified with the Scots as a symbol of pride and strength. The Claymore, or "Claidheamh-mor" (Great Sword) in Gaelic is a two handed broad sword utilized by the Scottish Highlander throughout several centuries. Used in the constant clan warfare and border fights with the English from 1500 t0 1650 and still in use as late as the Rebellion of 1745, the two-handed Claymore seems to be an offshoot of earlier broadswords as they were developed into great-swords. It was said that the bearer of a Claymore needed no shield (how could he carry one, anyway?) because the reach of the sword provided its own protection. A favorite weapon of the fierce Highlanders of Scottland, the claymore was a fearsome presence on the battlerfield. These beautiful two-handed swords are reproductions of the 16th century models. They feature the traditional angled quillions ending in quatrefoils along with massive pommels to balance the 39-inch tempered steel blades. Featuring polished steel hardware, any highlander would be proud to own one of these impressive weapons! ESPADA CENTURION (ref.: 540) "Dating back nearly 2,100 years this extraordinary blade represented the height of weaponry during Rome's barbaric fascination with gladiatorial combat. According to Methos, its short broader based blade made it lighter and easier to maneuver which was key strategy when the fighting wore on. "The longer the battle, the worse it was," he said. "I watched men so crippled with fatigue that they could barely lift their swords from the ground. When that happened it was, of course, their death knell." Methos salvaged the blade from the beheaded body of a fallen gladiator who had been left to the whims of the vultures. "Removing any article from a deal gladiator was vehemently forbidden and punishable by cruxifixcion," he said. "But his fate held such powerful symbolism for an Immortal. " This style of sword is known as a gladius hispaniensis and dates from at least the early part of the first century BC. It was essentially a thrusting sword capable of rupturing mail. This sword is an accurate reproduction of a first century AD Roman sword. This decorative Roman Sword (517) has a stainless steel blade with a bronze hilt. It is crafted by Swords from Toledo Spain. OVERALL: 28" The Vikings are known as great warriors. This reputation is based on what we know about their weapons and battle tactics. The Viking Age that began so fearsomely in the 800’s tapered off in the 12th century much to the relief of many Europeans. The Vikings were Nordic people -- Danes, Swedes and Norwegians -- who sometimes sailed out of Scandinavia in hundreds of longboats to loot and pillage coastal cities. Laws of the late Viking period show that all free men were expected to own weapons, and magnates were expected to provide them for their men. The main offensive weapons were the spear, sword and battle-axe, although bows and arrows and other missiles were also used. Weapons were carried not just for battle, but also as symbols of their owners' status and wealth. This beautiful SFT Viking sword measures 36.5 inches. The sword's blade is of quality high carbon steel and handle is solid bronze. EXCALIBUR (ref.: 521-B-O) "The Lady of the Lake — her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king!" King Arthur's history and legend is intimately linked to the magic and mystery of this magnificent sword, "Excalibur." As Merlin the wizard proclaimed, only one shall be able to remove the sword from the stone, and he shall be king. Arthur knelt in front of the stone and took the sword and beheld his destiny. He later took Excalibur to the cathedral and offered it at the holy altar. Arthur was anointed with the Sacred Oil and in the presence of all the common people whereas he solemnly swore to be a loyal king and to defend Truth and Justice all the days of his life. The actual facts of King Arthur's life have been mixed through time and legend, yet the story of King Arthur, his noble Knights of the Round Table, and this legendary magic sword "Excalibur" remain popular and have great appeal to a vast and loyal audience today. TEMPLAR SWORD (ref.: 516 y 517) The Templar Order was established in 1118 to ensure the custody of the Holy places and to protect the pilgrimage routes. The order reached its maximun splendor on the XIII century. The knights Templar considered themselves as knights of God, honour of the church and of chrisianity. Their lema was "NON NOBIS,DOMINE,NON NOBIS, SED TUO NOMINI DA GLORIAM" (Give Glory, Not for us, God, not for us, but for your name). The Templars fought along side King Richard I (Richard The Lion Hearted) and other Crusaders in the battles for the Holy Lands. It was a very well organized military force and they were the clash forces in all the Crusades. They were in the vanguard during the attack and in the rearguard during the retreat. During a century, they ensured the effective government of the Latin kingdom of Constantinople. They did not pay taxes or tributes, they did only obey to the Pope and they had properties in all Europe and the Middle East TIZONA DEL CID (ref.: 100-N-L y 100-C-L) According to legend, Diáz de Vivar (El Cid) fought for Alfonso against the Moors, fought for the Moors against Alfonso, and conquered the Kingdom of Valencia for himself; he ruled there until his death in 1099. Even his title, El Cid Campeador, reflects his conflicting loyalities: "El Cid" is a Moorish title of respect, from Arabic al sayyid "Lord"; "Campeador" is Spanish for "Champion". To this day, Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar is known as a hero of Christian Spain. El Cid was also a great war hero due to his excellent achievements in the the Reconquest of Spain . El Cid was a superior and extremely successful soldier of fortune who apparently never lost a battle.

Celtic Combat Sword (ref.: 576) Dating back as early as 500 B.C., The Celtic peoples were one of the most brave, inspiring and exciting fighters in History, displaying great strength and fury. Their choice weapon in battle was a sword designed for close combat with it's flared leaf shaped blade featuring strong and deadly sharp edges. The two sharp edges made these swords good for slashing at the enemy, especially if the warrior was riding on a chariot. Such a design could be wielded quickly and with great power. In respect of the Celts tradition and worship of the celestial heavens, this Celtic sword offers a solid brass hand poured crescent moon guard and pommel . Each 2.25"W x 19"L flared blade is hand forged of high carbon steel which replicates the materials as close as possible to the period. This truly inspiring sword comes to us from the age of heroes. The anthropomorphic hilt and leaf shaped blade are similar to the swords that would have been used by Gaelic heroes like Cuchulain or Conn of the Hundred Battles. The Celtic Combat sword has an overall length of 26.5" and possesses all the attributes required by the true Celtic warrior. A beautiful decorator sword, ready for display in home or office. SPANISH RAPIER (ref.: 703) Swept Hilt Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay with the Rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman's education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly disagreements. The decline of armor and the rise of the musket was simultaneous, and some would say a necessary precursor, for the rise of the rapier. The rapier depended almost entirely on the thrust for use, and would have been useless against an armored opponent. The almost wholesale abandonment of armor allowed for the rise of a sword devoted to thrusting. The rapier, although carried as a secondary weapon by almost all soldiery, was almost never used as a primary weapon throughout this period. Blades generally originated in Toledo but were hilted by regional smiths, resulting in many different hilt styles and finishes. TOLEDAN RAPIER (ref.: 704 y 704-CV) COLADA DEL CID (ref.: 110-N-F) Even his title, El Cid Campeador, reflects his conflicting loyalities: "El Cid" is a Moorish title of respect, from Arabic al sayyid "Lord"; "Campeador" is Spanish for "Champion". To this day, Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar is known as a hero of Christian Spain. El Cid was also a great war hero due to his excellent acheivements in the the Reconquest of Spain . El Cid was a superior and extremely successful soldier of fortune who apparently never lost a battle. This beautiful replica sword, with forward and reverse knuckle guards measures 38" in length and weighs 3.6 lbs. RAPIERA BARROCA CALADA (ref.: 580-OV) The cup hilt rapier made its appearance in the early 1650's in Spain, and enjoyed popularity in Spain and Southern Italy until the early 1700's. The rapier was often used with a second defensive weapon; daggers, bucklers, and cloaks were the most popular. While daggers were often decorated "en suite" with their companion rapier, it was by no means unusual to have a "mismatched" set of rapier and dagger. Much lighter than the broadsword of medieval times, the rapier brought about a whole new style of swordplay and a proliferation of fencing schools. The rapier marked the earliest beginnings of fencing as a sport. A very well known sword from XVI century valued in all Europe and used by the brave Captains of the Flandes Corps and the courageous Conquerors of America. This beautiful and intricately detailed Spanish style sword stands out due to its half-cup shape. It features a graceful and light blade, carefully tempered. The original version of this historically accurate replica can be admired in the most important Museums of the World. 45 inches in length. SABLE FRANCES CHAMPAGNE (ref.: 549) Similar to the U.S. Marine cutlass Napoleonic era cutlass was used by Pirates roaming the Spanish Main. Features 24.5" curved metal blade, simulated brass handle, leather scabbard with brass fittings. " The cutlass was the hand to hand combat weapon used when all shots had been fired from smaller arms. Pirates were very pragmatic people and, in this, knew that a shot from a gun was better than a slash from a sword. Still, in the face of an empty firearm, the pirates were determined enough to use such larger cutlery as a means to the same end." Many so-called pirates were really privateers. Privateers were privately commissioned crews, ordered by the monarchs of countries like England, France, and the Netherlands to raid and capture enemy ships. Documents would be given to the privateers from the king or queen making this legal, but only in times of official war with the target country. Pirates would capture and steal in war or peace. They were not commissioned by anyone, and therefore piracy, unlike privateering, was illegal. But since the supposed privateers often forged their documents, the line between the two was blurred. CRISTOFORUS COLUMBUS (ref.: 553-O) "A wonderful tribute to the Explorer Christopher Columbus." This replica from 1492 is a reproduction of an Officer's Sword from the fleet of Christopher Columbus. The blade(gold version) features a print of the 3 ship fleet that Columbus sailed in his discovery of America. The Santa Maria, Nina, and Pinta are shown in excellent detail on the highly polished double edged blade. The handle is a royal cloth wrapped in bright gold wire.The pommel is Gold surrounding a dark silver raised mold of the seal of the Spanish Royal Navy. This beautiful Columbus Sword is available in either old gold plated finish, , silver plated or gold finish (shown). This is the old gold plated version.

SFT inherits the testimony of the sword manufacturing traditions of Toledo Spain among the list of the most famous swordcutlers of its time. Their craftsmen have mastered the original art of the sword and create with modern materials the high quality pieces the market clearly identifies as; SFT PRODUCTS. SABLE MASONICO (ref.: 571-PV) The meaning of the masonic symbol -- Taken from the Masonic Information Center booklet The Square symbolizes things of the earth, and it also symbolizes honor, integrity, truthfulness, and the other ways we should relate to this world and the people in it. The Compasses symbolize things of the spirit, and the importance of a good and well-developed spriritual life, and also the importance of self control - of keeping ourselves within bounds. The G stands for Geometry, the science which the ancients believed most revealed the glory of God and His works in the heavens, and it also stands for God, Who must be at the center of all our thoughts and of all our efforts. Perfect polish Stainless Steel Blade with black or red scabbard. Throughout history, as an instrument of justice, truth, equality and firmness, swords have been used at every great event and have become imbued with great symbolism.

But the government should not forget that there are also other people, mostly poor, who are in need.” – Zenaida Espiritu, vendor MANILA — While Zenaida Espiritu, 49, was tending to the plastic bags she sells for a living along the busy stretch of Carriedo, she stops for a while to check on what was happening near the LRT station. A member of the women’s group Gabriela approaches her and, soon, she found herself signing a petition paper. “I can hardly provide a decent meal to my children because of the continuing price hikes,” Espritu said, when asked why she decided to sign the petition paper.She has five children. Two are already married and one has stopped going to school. The two youngest are still studying, one in second year high school and the other in Grade 4. Espiritu has been a vendor in Carriedo since she was 16 years old. She said her life became harder each passing year. Her capital for the products she is selling has increased through the years. “When I started selling these bags, I bought them for only $0.37. But now it increased to $0.46,” she said, “Then, people would ask for discounts.” She goes home with only $2.79 after a day of hard work from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Her husband does not have a steady income as a construction worker. Their meager income, amid the increasing prices of staple goods and services, is not enough for her children. “That is why I signed the petition paper. I hope that my signature could reach our government and heed our call.” Gabriela, the country’s largest women’s group, has launched Altrapresyo(n): Alerto sa Pagtaas ng Presyo Network, a consumers campaign network that aims to secure one million signature to repeal the oil deregulation law and the E-VAT on oil products and basic goods and services. The group aims to submit the petition before the House of Representatives to oblige the lawmakers to listen to their demands. Zenaida Espiritu signs the petition paper against increasing prices (Photos by Janess Ann J. Ellao/ bulatlat.com) “If the Aquino government cannot do anything to address the consumers’ problems regarding the increasing prices of basic goods, women would do all possible means from protesting in the streets to the Congress,” Lana Linaban, secretary general of Gabriela, said, “We would call the attention of the Aquino government because our impoverished conditions and hunger would never be acceptable.” Signing the petition Along with the petition signing, Gabriela also conducted a free blood pressure reading. It goes well with their campaign Altapresyon, which literally means high blood pressure. Espritu said she often has high blood pressure whenever the increasing prices of staple food never seems to stop. “My children’s school supply, gas, sugar and rice,” she added, “Before I only spend $0.58 for a kilo of rice. But now I spend $0.88.”....

The raids were part of an investigation into illegal financing. In public, Washington made disapproving noises and, according to an administration official cited by the New York Times, issued a much stronger message through private channels. A month later, Egypt prevented Sam LaHood, Egypt director of the IRI, from boarding a flight to Dubai. In all, five IRI employees (three of them American) and six from the NDI (including another three Americans) were prevented from leaving the country. Obama had already warned Field-Marshal Tantawi, the Egyptian leader, that military aid ($1.3 billion per year) would be at risk unless the military regime took steps to democratize the country, referring specifically to the criminal investigation into the US-funded groups.

__label__wiki	0.8218	0.8218	Aquino-Cojuangcos using military to harass Luisita farmworkers The victory achieved by the farm workers in the decision of the Supreme Court ordering the distribution of the land under Hacienda Luisita did not make their life easier as the military continues to harass them. HACIENDA LUISITA, Tarlac City – Out of fear, Michelle Mandigma, 30, left their home in barangay Balete in October last year. Along with her husband and seven children, Mandigma sought shelter at the office of the Alyansa ng Manggagawang Bukid sa Asyenda Luisita (Ambala). Mandigma said soldiers had frequented their house located in the middle of the farm since Ambala, of which her husband is an active member, set up the picketline within the disputed land being claimed by the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) in July last year. “For months, they occupied the hut in front of our house, staying there for long periods of time,” Mandigma told members of a fact-finding mission, March 10. Mandigma said that the men wore civilian clothes but admitted to being soldiers. “They would ask us who are the NPAs [New People’s Army] here in the hacienda and who visits the picketline,” Mandigma said. The NPA is the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). The fact-finding mission organized by the Alyansa ng Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luson (AMGL), Unyon ng Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (Uma), Karapatan and other groups revealed that military presence is notable in ten barangays (villages) inside the hacienda owned by the family of President Benigno S. Aquino III.

Noynoy’s Senate partymates and some other senators who have been won over to the oust-Corona movement have been and continue to be perceived as aiding the prosecution panel by jumping in whenever the accusers of Corona encounter a dead end either through sheer incompetence or as a result of the rules of the Senate court, which rules, not surprisingly, are being claimed by the same Noynoy senator allies not to apply strictly — to the point of even introducing hearsay as evidence beneficial to Noynoy and his senator-judges, and also polluted and illegally obtained evidence as proof.....

Iran claims to have invented “super concrete” – of a type that will stop the Massive Ordnance Penetrator from penetrating… well, anything. Iran is known for being one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. As a result, their scientists have gotten really good at creating ultra-high performance concrete, or UHPC, which is one of the toughest and most rigid building materials in the world. And like any dual-use technology, it can have military applications as well – something the Iranians are keen to utilize.What they’ve done is the exact opposite of that age-old adage: “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.....

The UN’s special rapporteur on torture, Juan Mendez, has completed his 14-month investigation into the detainment of Private First Class Bradley Manning, a 24-year old US soldier. Following allegations that he aided Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks site, Manning was arrested in May 2010 for disclosing classified material and has been in governmental custody for the nearly two years since. Despite a lengthy stint in military prison, Manning was formally arraigned only recently with a series of crimes that could put him away for the rest of life.

Some weeks ago, a reader e-mailed me what amounted to a manifesto for national development. Interestingly, the author is not Filipino but a UK businessman-scientist who’s been resident here for over 20 years. See what you think. For the agricultural sector, the manifesto proposes that 10 million Merino sheep should be introduced on the land above 700 meters in Luzon, Mindoro and Panay. Each year, these would produce 80 million kilos of fine wool worth $640 million. Including the downstream processing and spinning plants and the fine garment factories, it’s estimated that two million jobs would be created. On currently idle land throughout the Philippines, it’s proposed that between a million and 1.5 million Red Devon cattle, which do not need to be fed on grain, be introduced for the purpose of beef production, providing $75 million in annual revenue and creating 100,000 jobs in farming, transportation and processing. There are further proposals for fruit tree cultivation, the banning of tobacco production and the development of trout fishing and pine plantations — all generating considerable revenue and jobs.....

__label__wiki	0.842665	0.842665	Free the Chief Justice Written by Herman Tiu Laurel Monday Free the Chief Justice Since the gates opened on the jockeying for the position of Philippine Supreme Court (SC) chief justice (CJ), the horses that have entered the race have reached ridiculous numbers. That was the prevailing sentiment we got over lunch with some media men and politicos, where one top editor of a major daily even exclaimed, “How many are now in the race? Sixty? The noise in the jostling for the CJ post is now like a market place!” It happened just a day after lawyers Bono Adaza and Alan Paguia, along with Jojo Borja and myself, filed a petition before the SC — at the height of last week’s rains — for it to issue a “Certiorari and Prohibition with a Prayer for a TRO, Writ of Preliminary versus President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III and the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC)” to stop the continuing malpractice of the presidential appointment of the chief magistrate, which debases and subjugates the highest judicial official of the land and the supposedly independent body he or she leads. Sadly, there were no press or media people who covered the filing last Tuesday, partly due to the heavy rains and widespread flooding. The chief of reporters of Destiny Cable’s Global News Network (GNN), for instance, texted that his people were constrained from covering the event as they were assigned to various flood relief centers. And while the same must have been true for the other media outfits, we decided to bring the campaign to the media kapihans in order to better inform the public on the issues involved. At the Friday Rembrandt media forum, both Adaza and Paguia presented the case while I distributed a press statement announcing the launching of the Movement for Chief Justice Independence (MCJI), a campaign to generate public awareness and support for freeing the Chief Justice from presidential influence and control through the current malpractice of presidential appointment. While the petition was jumpstarted when a number of volunteers pitched in for the cost of its filing, the media support was even more impressive. In all the forums we pitched this proposal to, we never failed to elicit the support of all those in attendance. On the legal question, Adaza and Paguia presented indisputable evidence by first citing the provisions of the Constitution and then asking any doubters to point to any statement assigning to the JBC the power to nominate and to the President the power to appoint the CJ. As Paguia repeatedly stresses, since it is a question of fact, all the legal doubters need to do is point to any constitutional proviso that grants such powers — when, in fact, there is absolutely none. Thus, Adaza writes, “The reason why other Presidents got away with violating the Constitution is due to the fact that no citizen had questioned their authority. Now, there are citizens who are concerned with the rape of the Constitution by public officials and the drift of the rule of law in this country, that there is need to stop this unconstitutional practice in the national interest.” To this writer’s surprise, some newspapers carried the item last Friday suggesting that our petition was dismissed, with some even saying “one down, two to go,” referring to the three petitions questioning the current conduct of the nominations by the JBC. If that were true, it would only indicate uncharacteristic haste and, therefore, betray a fear of something in our petition — for how could it be dismissed in three days when the SC justices hardly have enough time to study the many petitions pending before them for close to six months? Thankfully, a careful reading indicates that only the petition of a certain Famela Dulay, whose arguments do not coincide with ours, has been dismissed, which means that our fight goes on. Ever since we aired our appeal for support, many more have come to our aid. In addition to all those we acknowledged in a previous column, our heartfelt thanks also go out to Mr. Poem Gratela, as well as a doctor and a rural banker who requested not to be named. We also thank this donor from Bicol who thoughtfully sent us delicacies from his native province. Rest assured that your being part of this movement fuels us to continue pursuing this case. And as we await official action, we will never be deterred by any attempt at misinformation or disinformation. The logic of ending the malpractice of the President appointing the CJ must prevail if we are to uphold the independence of the Judiciary and the principles of “separation of powers” and “checks-and-balance.” Only then can we begin to enhance the dream of an authentic democracy for our nation. Even so, there are other advocacies that we must take the cudgels for, such as the water issue. Last Saturday, we heard the presentation of Gloria Dalida and Rodolfo Javellana Jr. of Water for All Refund Movement (Warm) on their petition vs Manny Pangilinan, the Consunji Group, and a long list of respondents on the scam in our privatized water services, which is as huge a scam as that in the power sector. Hopefully, we’ll have them on our GNN show in the coming days to link them up with all our fellow electricity advocates. So as we jostle in the legal arena, there must be similar action in other fronts to make for a holistic and authentic democratic order. Our nation must unite against the exploitation and oppression of the local and global oligarchs, who conspire to squeeze the people into abject poverty and helpless prostration. We must not wait any longer.

To mining companies, the EO is long-delayed that resulted in the stunting of growth in an industry that has the potential of earning for the country hundreds of billions of dollars. To those opposed to harsh effects of big-scale mining, the time it took for Noynoy to finally come up with the EO is testament that it will be greatly watered down when it is finally unveiled to the public. The EO fleshes out the policy of the administration of Noynoy for an industry that has long been a paradox for many past administrations. The influence of the Roman Catholic Church on the crafting of any policy on mining is a given and interest groups, legitimate or otherwise, run to the prelates to have their voices heard by the government on issues related to mining operations. Mining companies, which mostly have giant world prospectors as partners, believe that they are sitting on a literal trove of mineral riches that are unequaled in any part of the world.....

Far from being transformed into a dynamic enclave of the empowered dis-possessed, it has turned for the worse. Instead of just hosting a “mountain of garbage,” it now also hosts a “coal mountain” as Agham party-list Rep. Angelo Palmones exposed recently. Worse, the residents of the unfinished model community now have to contend with paying exorbitant fees for their basic utilities like power and water courtesy of the concessionaires which were only too happy to “re-connect” the families to the basics at the cost of an arm and a leg. It appears that only the contractor/developer — the Reghis Romero Group of Companies — not the residents has its fortunes turn for the better. Such has been the sad turn of events that the Romero Group has been able to parlay that original contract into multibillion-peso other joint ventures with government including, by some magical arrangement, putting up a coal yard at its reclaimed Harbour Centre despite the existing Writ of Kalikasan issued by the Supreme Court on such undertakings within the Manila Bay influenced areas.....

Manalo Just when they thought they had finally claimed justice, compensated for the long years of work they had rendered the now defunct Pantranco, union members of the Pantanco Employees Association (PEA) and the Pantranco Retrenched Employees Association (PANREA) suffered another stab in the back, ironically coming from the very institution supposed to protect them: the government of the republic. Last May 21, after almost three decades of trying to claim their separation pay from the defunct bus line, members of the PEA and the PANREA were finally able to dispose of Pantranco’s 489 expired bus franchises which they had acquired a payment for their claims from the company sequestered by the government during the term of President Noynoy Aquino’s late mother, Cory Aquino, to several bus companies, owned by the Hernandez family. However, as the sale of the expired franchises had time and again, since 1993, been denied by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), the latest of which was in Jan. 5 this year, the sale had been questioned, prompting Transportation and Communications Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas to enter the picture and blocked the sale. Reportedly, Roxas blocked the sale of the expired bus franchises based on the provisions of the law prohibiting the trade of franchises commercially. Again, legal minds are one in saying franchise is merely a privilege and not a commodity.....

FIEL Davao Today DAVAO CITY — The phrase “breast milk is still best for babies” has become a byword in commercials and labels on infant formula milk thanks to the Milk Code which mandates this marking on the packaging of formula milk. The Milk Code, known as Executive Order 51, is now on its 25th year. The Code encourages the practice of breastfeeding for infants. A study shows that four of 10 mothers provide their infants breast milk, a practice that health experts cite to have reduced infant mortality and increased protection from illnesses. The Code also limits marketing and commercials of formula milk to children aged three and up. But these labels might soon be erased as House Bill 3396 seeks among others to amend restrictions in the Code and allow aggressive marketing of infant formula milk catering to infants as young as six months. The amendments have breastfeeding advocates in Davao fighting to stop the bill. Mommy Sense, a Davao-based breastfeeding support group gathered last June 16 to point out that the bill may erode the gains in the advocacy on breastfeeding and add burden to Filipino families to put up with the cost of formula milk. The draft bill, “An Act Promoting Comprehensive Program on Breastfeeding Practices and Regulating the Trade, Marketing and Promotions of Certain foods for Infants and Children,” has the following amendments: • removing marketing restrictions on formula milk products • removing the mandated labels on milk products that promote breast milk and cite the dangers of formula feeding • disentitle working mothers in which their salaries will be deducted due to lactation breaks of 40 minutes per day • allow direct advertising or giving of samples or supplies in hospitals and other health institutions, or mother-baby events. Alexandria Hao and Lyn Tan, co-founders of Mommy Sense, said these amendments undermine the benefits of breast milk which are far and wide.....

MANILA – Nanay Pacing, a petite woman in her 50s, broke into tears as though she lost a son. “It is difficult to accept that we have lost him,” the old woman said at the wake of Arman Albarillo, former secretary-general of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Southern Tagalog (Bayan-ST) and in 2009, a New People’s Army (NPA) guerrilla who died in an encounter last June 30 in San Andres, Quezon, south of Manila. “It is because of him that we still have a roof above our heads,” Nanay Pacing, one of the residents of sitio Kabute in Real, Calamba, Laguna, said during the tribute for Arman in a church in Quezon City. She narrated how they met. It was during the early part of January 2008 when the houses of some 100 families were demolished. They sought temporary shelter at the nearby covered court. “Not one among the barangay or municipal officials offered us help. One day, while we were at the City Hall, Ka Arman saw some of us crying. He went to us, inquired about our situation and started organizing us,” Nanay Pacing related. At that time, Arman was secretary general of Bayan-ST. “Four years passed by and despite the harassment by soldiers encamped inside our community, we stayed put because of what Ka Arman taught us –that we have rights, too,” Nanay Pacing said. It is not surprising how Arman was able to win the hearts of the poor. He knew poverty like the palm of his hands. A caring brother Before becoming an activist, Arman was an ordinary worker. Born from a peasant family in San Teodoro, Mindoro Oriental, Arman had helped augment the family income since he was 17. Together with his eldest brother, Arman worked as a construction worker in Makati. “He would go home only during special occasions,” Bonsai, one of Arman’s four sisters, said. He has three brothers. Like a typical big brother, Bonsai said, Arman was “quite strict” especially with the way his sisters dress. “He was so conservative; he did not want us to wear sleeveless, short skirts or any of that kind. We were only able to put lipstick when he was not around,” Bonsai said, smiling. “Whenever we had problems and we turned to him, he would not mince words to warn us against making wrong decisions,” Bonsai said. “Yet, after scolding us, he would also make us laugh.” Bonsai said she would not forget what her kuya (older brother) did on her wedding day. She was crying so hard minutes before the ceremony because the hair stylist cut her hair short. “Kuya Arman went to me and said, ‘Ne, stop crying. It’s okay’ and he carried me on his arms until I stopped crying,” Bonsai recalled. She was 24.....

Joker Arroyo said. Arroyo added the move is gaining ground in the Senate, with him acceding to proposals to introduce changes in Constitution. Arroyo also perceives Malacañang as being behind the revived discussions on the possibility of initiating moves for Charter change (Cha-cha) to take off when Congress reopens its third regular session this month. The senator, however, appeared amenable in revisiting not only the economic provisions but also the present structure of government “where the President is more powerful now than (under) the previous constitutions.” “For 25 years, this 1987 Constitution, we have not touched it.

Instead, the new mining policy could make conflict caused by the industry even worse, Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes said, adding the new EO on mining is no different from other past policies. Bastes said the new EO is expected to create more division between the local stakeholders and the government. According to Aquino’s deputy spokesman Abigail Valte, small-scale mining operations and revenue sharing between the national and local governments will be the highlights of the signed EO that is seen to define the national policy in an industry from where the government gets significant part of its total annual revenue. Valte described the new mining EO as a product of consultations with stakeholders of the mining sector. She added that the EO has had a number of revisions during the period in which it was being drafted by the environment cluster created by the President to solicit inputs from various sectors which have something to do with the mining industry, whether they be pro or against it.....

For now, we’re taking it under wraps, Aquino’s deputy spokesman Abigail Valte said on media queries about the result of the top-level meeting. Valte said that the public can deduce what transpired at the meeting through the moves that the Aquino administration will now take to address the dispute. “Well, people will always speculate. But it is best if we just wait until concrete steps are being taken. That I suppose will be the time that we can talk about it,” Valte said. “What we’re saying is that the public would eventually see what transpired at the executive session and learn of the government decision on the China conflict. Of course, that will be talked about. But as of the moment, everything is under wraps,” Valte reiterated. A Palace critic in the Senate supported the virtual news blackout and President Aquino’s order for his underlings to refrain from making statements that may aggravate the country’s territorial dispute with China, adding that the Executive should instead use quiet diplomacy to resolve the tension. “It’s good that President Aquino zipped up the lips of his officials.

Determined to inculcate in the minds of the residents the need to follow the measure to the letter, city officials led by Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte hosted last Friday a forum aimed primarily at informing the public of how to reduce the city’s production of plastic waste. “This is Quezon City’s commitment in building a truly green and sustainable city,” said the vice mayor who was accompanied by key city officials in welcoming the forum participants at the QC Hall Bulwagan. Compared to other cities adopting a total ban on plastic use, Belmonte said the city government has just favored to regulate the use of plastics to give residents ample time to integrate the system in their behavior or attitude. “Going green must not only be lip service.

He noted the two press corps at the DoJ main building, Jucra (Justice and Court Reporters Association) and Juror (Justice Reporters Organization), have been staying on the same floor where the office of De Lima is located so they can immediately gather news on important issues that need the immediate reaction of the justice secretary. The Jucra has been holding office at the DoJ since 1977 while the Juror has also been given accommodation by the department since the 1980s, during the time of President Corazon Aquino.....

__label__cc	0.591376	0.408624	http://www.leghorseshows.com/article_details.php?pr_id=304 Fathers Celebrate their Day at Gold Coast 4 Sunset Equine Farm Los Angeles rehab and retirement farm provides good life for horses and easy visiting for owners. West Coast hunter/jumper competitors know Kathryn Burdett as a tough and tough-to-beat competitor in the amateur jumper ranks. But the accomplished young equestrian has a soft side too, and the smarts to put that aspect of her personality to great professional use as proprietor of the rehabilitation and retirement facility, Sunset Equine Farm. “I love competing, but my love for horses is not just about that,” explains Kathryn. “It’s more based in the everyday interactions with them. I love figuring out how to solve a horse’s problem, learning their personalities and helping them recover.” Sunset Equine Farm sits on five acres of flat, pepper-tree shaded land in Shadow Hills, a quiet residential neighborhood just a few minutes’ drive from downtown Burbank. The property was originally developed as a training facility for Kathryn and her father Ron, also an amateur jumper competitor. The seeds of its shift in purpose were planted a few years back when one of Kathryn’s jumpers needed colic surgery at the Chino Equine Hospital. “When we brought the horse back for the 60 day check-up, the vet was very impressed with the care we’d given the horse,” Kathryn recounts. “He said, ‘Nobody ever does exactly what we tell them to do.’” That experience led to referrals that became Sunset Equine Farm’s first clients. Since then, Sunset Equine has helped horses recover from a variety of problems: suspensories, bowed tendons, colic surgeries, to name a few. “We’ve seen it all,” says Kathryn. She administers the care herself with help from assistant Jose Gonzalez and four grooms who take note “when even a hair is out of place” on one of their charges, Kathyrn adds. Mom Karen Burdett “keeps everyone together emotionally,” says her grateful daughter. “She is the epitome of the great horse show mom.” Hands On Horsemanship Kathryn’s horsemanship education has been of the hands-on variety. “I was fortunate to have begun my riding with trainer DiAnn Langer. She is an amazing horsewoman and I learned a lot by observation. Through the years, I’ve collected information by going through many issues with my own horses, and watching what the vets are doing.” Each rehab patient arrives with its own set of instructions from its veterinarian and it is Kathryn’s job to implement the treatment. Care specifics vary from taking temperatures throughout the day, wrapping legs and giving shots to return to work regimens that can range from precisely timed walks on the European EuroXciser to under saddle schooling for horses almost ready to return to the show ring. Sunset Equine has room for 30 horses. Stabling possibilities include box stalls with paddocks and half-covered paddocks. The property features two large turn-outs, two smaller turn-outs and a big grass pasture. Riding spaces include a 150’ by 200’ arena and a trail that runs around the grounds. Rehabbing horses is rewarding work, but Kathryn admits a soft spot for caring for Sunset Equine’s retirees, who make up approximately 60 percent of its clientele. “I’m always happy for our rehab horses when they are ready to go back to their owners,” she says. “The retirement horses are with us for a long time. I tend to feel like they are my own.” These senior equine citizens typically spend four hours a day in turn-outs. They are groomed daily and to the point that “you can’t tell a retired horse from our show horses,” Kathryn says. As a regular on the hunter/jumper show circuit, Kathryn gets many clients through word of mouth. In addition to providing careful, loving and individualized care in a beautiful setting, Sunset Equine has a location that has been a big draw for many horse owners. Near the junction of the 5 and 210 freeways, the Farm is within easy visiting distance for most owners in Southern California. Kathyrn notes with warm pride that Sunset Equine’s first retirement tenant has been visited every evening by his owner throughout his two years there. Kathryn and her fiancé, Roger live on the property. When she is not caring for her rehab and retirement charges, Kathryn schools her jumpers with help from trainer Santiago Rickard, who visits regularly. Competing in the High Amateur-Owner Jumper division with consistently solid successes, Kathyrn hopes to enter the lower grands prix when the time is right. With Sunset Equine Farm business booming, and a December wedding to her fiancé looming, that time may be a ways off. “Right now I’m really enjoying the horses that I have, and getting the business moving forward,” she says.

Each node represents the features of a single taxonomic group, or organism. The nodes are arranged hierarchically in concentric rings. The parent taxon, located in the centre, leads recursively outwards towards its children. The size of the circle indicates the mean number of domains found per organism in a given taxonomic group. For individual organisms, it gives the actual number of domains. TaxViz description Each node represents the features of a single taxonomic group, or organism. The nodes are arranged hierarchically in concentric rings. The parent taxon, located in the centre, leads recursively outwards towards its children. The name of the taxonomic group, and the mean number of domains per organism are displayed alongside the taxonomic nodes. Taxonomic groups There are 5 types of node: Overall, Domain, Kingdom, Subkingdom and Species. The "Overall" node displays the mean number of domains per organism across the tree of life. The Overall node is surrounded by the three "Domain" (or superkingdom) nodes: eukaryota, bacteria and archaea. The Domain nodes are surrounded by the "Kingdom" nodes, for example metazoa from the eukaryota Kingdom. The largest Kingdoms (in terms of fully sequenced organisms), contain "Subkingdom" nodes. The largest Kingdoms include metazoa, euryarchaeota, proteobacteria, actinobacteria and firmicutes. The remaining Kingdoms, and the Subkingdoms, contain "Species" nodes. Note that the Species nodes do not include any of the organisms we have classified as strains. An example may help illustrate the hierarchy of taxonomic groups. The Homo sapiens (human) species occurs within the mammalia Subkingdom, metazoa Kingdom and eukaryota Domain. The organisms within a taxonomic group can be viewed by selecting the outer taxonomic group node. The name of the organism, and the number of proteins in the organism which contain the domain are displayed alongside the organism nodes. From here, you can view the domain assignment details of each organism by clicking on an organism node. Minimum/maximum domain occurrence By selecting the minimum or maximum node, you can also view the organisms with the smallest and largest number of domains respectively. The minimum/maximum domain occurrence always applies to all organisms. Model organisms The model organism link displays a selection of chosen model organisms used frequently in genetic research. Node size There is often a wide variation in occurrence of domains in different taxonomic groups. In order to display both large and small nodes, it is necessary to use a logarithmic scale for node size. For taxonomic groups, the radius of the node is equal to the logarithm of the mean domain occurrence found per organism in the taxonomic group. For organisms, the radius of the node is equal to the logarithm of the number of domains occurring in the organism. There is one exception. The radius is set to half of log 2 when the mean domain occurrence, or number of domains in the organism, equals 1. Node colour The colour of the node represents the superkingdom to which it belongs, and is detailed in the legend on the graphic.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3552

__label__wiki	0.720073	0.720073	WTF UMD? By Samantha Schmieder WTF UMD is a social media project where students can directly get in touch with the Student Government Association (SGA) in order to provide them with ideas and suggestions to better the school. So far, the page has 2395 likes on Facebook and 454 followers on Twitter and although that is only a small percentage of the university population, the word is spreading fast. Freshman Danny Dvorak, who intends to be a business major, is running for an SGA position this semester and knows some of the people behind the website. “It stands for ‘what to fix’ and it’s a way to connect with students,” Dvorak said. “Literally anything they want to fix they can post it and campus organizations like DOTS and dining services can see.” Dvorak explains that even some campus departments are following their Facebook and Twitter pages and responding to students. “It got a lot of positive feedback from students,” Dvorak said. “And the fact that departments on campus are taking note of it shows success.” There’s a live document so that students can follow their issues online and track the progress of how their problem is being fixed and if it’s being fixed to their standards. “The problem could just be glass on the ground or a light out and it will help find someone to fix it,” Dvorak explains. One user on Facebook complained about the grease-laden meat and quesadillas in the dining halls and another jokingly stated that the mall should always have a moon bounce on it. While some students are happily sending their requests to the page, others are a little skeptical. Junior finance and accounting major Daniel Atlas thinks the concept of the page is interesting, but doesn’t see it working long term. “I think WTF UMD has its perks as it relates to speaking out about your problems,” Atlas said. “But I don’t think it will remedy any issues we have.” So far, students complaining about having no way to get to the grocery store has prompted the start of a shuttle to take students to Giant and Beltway Plaza. The shuttle primarily serves Courtyards, Commons, the View and the Varsity and runs Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 4 p.m. The page has also received national attention as well with an article published in USA Today. The article discusses the trend of universities across the country beginning to use social media to help students connect with their student government. The Purdue student government began using suggestion boxes instead of social media. “I do think it is a step towards free speech and student inclusiveness,” Atlas adds. Junior criminal justice major Jack May was a lot more excited than Atlas for the new webpage and plans on using it to voice concerns he’s had with bus stop placements, the lack of a basketball court on South Campus and no cardboard recycling. “I love the idea,” May said. “I wrote the school a letter one time and now that they have a Twitter and Facebook account, I’m going to go on that.” It seems as if the students will be using the website for both real complaints as well as quirky ones and students are excited to see what gets fixed. “It promotes open communication between students and the SGA and other departments,” said Dvorak.

__label__wiki	0.531465	0.531465	PTC Highlights Best & Worst TV Advertisers for 2019 by PTC • November 19, 2019 • Advertiser Accountability • 0 Comments Families Encouraged to Support Best Advertisers During the Holidays The Parents Television Council announced the Best and Worst TV Advertisers, an annual list of companies that support programming that is safe for families, and those who sponsor some of the most explicit TV programs. “Advertisers are the lifeblood of TV programs, and the kind of content they sponsor matters greatly. Our recent research has shown TV programs are getting more violent and have increased profanity, which is extremely concerning to families. Advertisers have the power to change TV for the better and reverse these trends. Those advertisers on our Best List are sponsoring programming that is generally safe for kids and families to watch. Advertisers on our Worst List need to improve their TV ad buys,” said PTC President Tim Winter. “Companies need to be responsible in all areas of their business, especially in the kind of TV programs they sponsor given that TV can negatively impact children. Companies should take note that a 2016 study commissioned by Scripps Networks Interactive and UP TV found that ‘ads seen in TV-G rated programming score substantially higher in generating attention and purchase intent than commercials appearing in television shows with TV-14 and TV-MA ratings.’” PTC Program Director Melissa Henson encouraged families to support those companies on the Best List with their holiday shopping. “We applaud these companies for supporting families, and we want to show our support in return,” she said. “Of note, Wendy’s is on our Best List after being on our Worst List for a number of years. Verizon is a new addition to our Best List. Congratulations to those companies and to the others made it onto our Best List. We hope they serve as examples to those on our Worst List that improvements can and should be made to their ad purchases.” PTC’s Best and Worst Advertisers of 2019 The list is arranged by industry, followed by the best and worst companies in each category: Fast Food/QSR YUM! Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell) Wendy’s Department/Clothing Stores Limited Brands (Victoria’s Secret) Mars, Inc. (M&Ms, Pedigree, Whiskas, Orbit gum, etc.) Procter & Gamble (Tide, Pampers, Pantene, Olay, Gillette) Unilever (Axe, Degree, Klondike, Lipton)	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3566

__label__wiki	0.682871	0.682871	This Is Inhuman CC-BY Ryan Van Etten in 2012 updated 2013 Myspace (under new ownership by Specific Media and Justin Timberlake) wants to rise from the grave. It's 2012. Smart people don't use Myspace. It has no blood. No pulse. Musicians now have better music presentation tools (Bandcamp, SoundCloud, HTML5) and fans have better ways to listen and discover (Grooveshark, Rdio, Spotify, YouTube). Drop Facebook and Twitter into that mix. Who's left? The web is erratic by nature. You can't centralize its capabilities. Portals don't work. People want the source. ReverbNation is a better version of old Myspace Music, and it's numbers are dropping. Myspace became popular circa 2004 because it was among the first to provide a way for anyone to create an interactive web page for free without needing to code. For bands, it was the fact that they could post their songs online for anyone to hear (albeit at <96kbps). New Myspace wants to be branded as a vessel for expression. Early Myspace was about expression. Myspace has always been a creature of quantity. Rarely has it cared about quality. It became a portal. The shiny new Myspace depicted in the teaser video looks music-centric and theoretically well-designed by wasted talent. It's a factory. A factory is not expression. It's a seizure. The song in the video has heart. The implication that people want Myspace back opens scars. It's a facade. A PR campaign. A pop infection. Maybe you loved Myspace in 2005. But Myspace can't love you back. It can never be the same. What's left is dead space. cheap giuseppe zanotti shoes	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3573
__label__wiki	0.902095	0.902095	Civil Rights & Social Justice Help support independent media! Sam Hananel Halliburton, Chamber of Commerce Urging SCOTUS to Give Corps More Power Against Class-Action Suits Home > Business Published March 5, 2014 - 10:25am The Supreme Court is considering whether to abandon a quarter-century of precedent and make it tougher for investors to band together to sue corporations for securities fraud. The justices hear arguments Wednesday in an appeal by Halliburton Co. that seeks to block a class-action lawsuit claiming the energy services company inflated its stock price. A group of investors says it lost money when Halliburton's stock price dropped after revelations the company misrepresented revenues, understated its liability in asbestos litigation and overstated the benefits of a merger. Justices threw out the company's first attempt to block the lawsuit in 2011. But Halliburton is now urging the court to overturn a 25-year-old decision that sparked a tidal wave of securities-related, class-action lawsuits against publicly traded companies and has led to billions in settlements. The court's 1988 decision in Basic v. Levinson says shareholders who claim they were defrauded by false statements in securities filings don't have to prove they actually relied on the statements. Rather, the court reasoned that any misrepresentation would be reflected in the current stock price. Even if investors are not aware of the misstatements, they are presumed to be aware of them because they affect the stock price. This presumption, known as the "fraud-on-the-market theory," has become the driving force for modern class-action securities cases. But some economists have questioned whether this theory makes sense anymore, saying it doesn't account for the sometimes random and arbitrary nature of stock trading. Four of the Supreme Court's conservative justices — Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito — said in a ruling last year that they were willing to reconsider the Basic decision. If they do, Chief Justice John Roberts could be the difference in whether Basic is overturned. The court is also considering whether to at least modify Basic and let companies that are sued for securities fraud show that any alleged misrepresentations did not actually distort the stock price. The investors suing Halliburton argue that the fraud-on-the-market principle remains sound and that the class-action cases help deter fraud. More than 3,000 private class-action securities fraud lawsuits have been filed since 1997, generating more than $73 billion in settlements, according to a group of former Securities and Exchange Commission members who filed a brief urging the court to overturn the 1988 precedent. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers argue in court briefs that the current doctrine has led to significant costs for investors and businesses and bred confusion in the courts. But the Obama administration has urged the court not to overrule Basic, saying its premise remains sound. The justices are expected to make a ruling before summer.

[via press release from Syfy] IT'S LIFE AND DEATH FOR THE CONTESTANTS ON FACE OFF'S SEVENTH SEASON, AS THEY EXPLORE THEMES OF REBIRTH AND MORTALITY, AND FACE A SUDDEN DEATH ELIMINATION FOR THEIR FIRST CHALLENGE SEASON 7 PREMIERES TUESDAY, JULY 22 AT 9 PM ET/PT ON SYFY Premiere Features Special Guest Robert Englund and Welcomes Judge Lois Burwell to the Panel NEW YORK - June 12, 2014 - Syfy's acclaimed unscripted series, Face Off, returns for a seventh season themed "Life and Death" on Tuesday, July 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Sixteen talented special effects make-up artists arrive to Los Angeles, only to discover they are not on the show just yet, and will compete in a Sudden Death challenge where they must create a character that represents either life or death. After facing the judges, two artists are eliminated before ever moving into the Face Off house or stepping into the lab. Freddy Krueger himself, actor Robert Englund, makes an appearance and offers advice on creating a convincing makeup. "Pay attention to your model," he tells the artists. "Look at his face and build on that. I think one of the successes of the Freddy makeup is that they kept some of my own facial structures which I was able to animate easier." In a Face Off first, Syfy rolls out an interactive social integration for season 7, calling on viewers to each week tweet about their favorite contestant using #FaceOff. Viewer tweets will determine who the weekly fan favorite is, and at the season's end, the contestant who ranked the overall most favorite will be rewarded with $10,000. Returning to the lab for the new season is actress and host McKenzie Westmore, along with judges Glenn Hetrick (CSI: New York, The Hunger Games, Heroes) and Neville Page (Avatar, Prometheus). World-renowned makeup artist -- and McKenzie's dad - Michael Westmore resumes his role as the official contestant mentor. Ve Neill is in the midst of working on her latest films in The Hunger Games franchise, but will sit on the judging panel for three episodes of Face Off during season 7. Stepping in to complete the panel is Lois Burwell, a renowned Academy-Award winning makeup artist known for her work on Lincoln, Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, War Horse and War of the Worlds. In this high-stakes Life and Death themed season, the contestants will face creative challenges designed to inspire them to explore life, death, rebirth and mortality. Some of the creatures the talented artists create include an angry, twisted tree character; a new animal species; and a reptilian super solider that would fit into the world of G.I. Joe. The Face Off contestants will be whittled down week by week, until only three remain for a finale showdown. The winning artist will receive $100,000, a 2014 Fiat 500 and a VIP package courtesy of Kryolan Professional Make-Up. Kryolan Professional Make-Up continues as the official make-up sponsor of Face Off. To find out more about the cast of season 7, see bios, photo galleries and video, visit www.syfy.com/faceoff.

__label__wiki	0.763352	0.763352	The SoundCheck, The Valley Blend Hi. I am the Music Editor for The Valley Blend Magazine. Here, you can find a catalog of my monthly columns. Welcome! Elmer Coles Playin' Here T'night. Soundcheck, September 2011 “Elmer Coles playin’ here t’night?” by J. Gabrielle ‘Mac Daddy’ and I are seated outside Blues BBQ in downtown Roanoke, and many others arrive, mostly in pairs. The lyrical question of the moment on the sidewalk is, “Elmer Coles playin’ here t’night?” Mr. Coles is warmly approachable. For this I am grateful. Impressed with his wild trumpeting as well as his genuine smile, he’s been on my “radar”. Elmer Coles was ten when he caught music fever at the Christmas Parade in Roanoke. Band director/educator Joe Finley led the renowned 101-piece Addison High School Marching Band. A move called “The Freeze” inspired Coles. Roanoke Times columnist Robert Samuels wrote in 1994, “When Finley signaled his band, the students’ quick movements would stop immediately, staying in the same position for however long he wanted.” Imagine that! Winter. Christmas. The outrageously good, loud, dancing, performing, ‘ahead-of-their-time’ marching band STOPS…..and downtown falls silent…frozen in a moment. 10….20…..30 seconds… and BAM the band is back in motion and sound! I’ve got the ‘fever’ now too, and I think I understand a little more about jazz and playing SPACES in music. By thirteen, he was performing professionally with regional legends. Jimmy Lewis, Sonny Womack, Reverend Woodrow Walker, Harvey Lee Jones: Coles performed with The Chevys, The Divots, and The Premiers. “They schooled me to the age of sixteen”, says Coles. “Then I got married at seventeen and had a baby. I have a 44 year-old daughter and a 10 year-old grandson”. It was off to Cleveland in 1968 to perform with keyboardist Cedric Lawson, who went on to play with Miles Davis. Lawson is the son of famed Roanoke Civil Rights lawyer Reuben Lawson (who helped integrate the school systems in Southwest Virginia). Coles says that he and Cedric “still trade secrets”. Next, to Boston and ‘hangin’ out with Harvey Mason. New England Conservatory launched a jazz program and Coles received a scholarship. Then, he hit the road. The Stylistics were one of the best-known Philadelphia soul groups of the 70’s. They are known for R&B hits “You Are Everything”, “I’m Stone in Love with You”, and more. Coles toured with them for three years, working with songwriter Thom Bell. Taking a hiatus from the band, he entered the jazz scene working with Charles Earland from the Mingus band, recording “Live at the Lighthouse”. “But”, Cole murmurs, “there was a little too much drama with the jazz behind the scenes.” He returned to the Stylistics for a bit, then moved to D.C. Elmer earned a certificate for electronics and ran a consulting company for fifteen years. He got studio hits the whole time. “The phone just never stopped ringing!” he smiles. About ’97, his mother’s illness had him transitioning back to Roanoke. He quickly got back to work with Ronnie Law, William Penn, James Pace, and The Domino Band. More recently, he has worked with The Elderly Brothers and now, The Elmer Coles Funktet! The latter has been a staple at Blues BBQ on Wednesdays for a couple of years. Coles calls this creation, “very satisfying. A little loud, a little fiery.” On this night, Cameron McLaughlin sits in on bass for vacationing Bernard Hairston. McLaughlin calls Coles “the greatest trumpet player on earth!” It’s guitarist Charlie Hughs’ first band, but performing with Coles has “completely changed my playing,” he says. It’s the middle of the first set, and Coles announces to the young cats, “It’s time for some rock-n-roll!” Carlos Aranguren sets the groove on drums. Guitarist Greg Ayers mouths to Elmer, “I LIKE THAT!” Elmer just nods, “Yeah!” and the Funktet is playing The Stones’ “Miss You”. Carlos is pretty sure Coles has played with Miles Davis and James Brown. What he appreciates is the way “in the jazz tradition, he grabs the young cats and guides them to find their own sound.” Keyboardist Dave Ferguson is on keys now. Elmer Coles stands on the bar floor facing the namesake band he’s built. Like a proud, hard-working man in front of a finely-worked garden, Elmer Coles smiles the smile of a satisfied man.

__label__wiki	0.672936	0.672936	One of the most anticipated titles of 2019 for PC players out there is the upcoming release of a 14-year-old MMORPG in the form of World of Warcraft Classic. The game offers a faithful recreation of the original World of Warcraft, with the same dated look and feel that made the game oh so popular back in 2006. Here’s how to get into the World of Warcraft Classic beta. Like with addons in the current game, you just need to drop any of these addons into the addons folder — find it under /Interface/AddOns/ in the Classic beta folder, which is in your World of Warcraft folder by default. Then once you log on to the game, you’ll want to make sure that the addons are enabled via the menu option on the character screen. First things first, it’s worth noting that the World of Warcraft Classic beta is already underway. It kicked off on May 15, and since, players have been busy exploring the original realm just the way it was before the many expansion packs released. If you’re looking to get into the action, however, you’ll need to ensure you’ve opted-in to participating in the beta. Other methods have been discussed. For example, mods could be crippled. DBM didn't exist back then, and the other boss that did that I don't remember the name of, didn't do as much back then as DBM does now. If our goal is to recreate the experience as it was, then obviously not having DBM would be a reasonable way to accomplish that. DBM simply existing, makes the game today easier than it was. So disallow it. Again, this is completely consistent with the spirit of vanilla. Remember one-button-decursing? That was nerfed. They crippled the capabilities of the modding API to disallow that because it made the game too easy. So what if they cripple it a little bit more to once again make the game less easy? I consider myself a purist in that I would prefer classic to be released as close as possible to the original. Where that is on the spectrum of patch content will be up to blizz. I'm also not vane enough to believe that any single state of the game is the "Ideal" location we should be aiming for. There is common ground that we can agree on, and I would welcome more than a few changes as long as they are made in the spirit of keeping classic on the vanilla rails. Battle for Azeroth (110-120) Leveling Tips and Consumables How to level from 110 to 120 as quickly as possible in WoW Battle for Azeroth, including recommended zone order, best consumables, general leveling tips, and best addons. Leveling from 1-60: Questing and Dungeons Recommended leveling paths for new players between 1 and 60 in World of Warcraft. Includes tips for questing zones and leveling dungeons. Heirloom Collections Guide A guide to the Heirloom Collections Tab. A complete list of all heirlooms, how much they cost, which vendors sell them, what currency you need, and more! I have played World of Warcraft and blizzard games alike since I was 10 years old, it all started back in Diablo, StarCraft and Warcraft days. I love all Blizzard releases and would be honored to be a part of the closed beta for the Classic release and will definitely be turning in my free time for World of Warcraft more as I am suuper stoked to play!

Nightborne Allied Race Leveling Guide (20-120) Best Nightborne Allied Race specs for leveling, efficient zones to level in, and overview of available classes and level 20 starting abilities. Level a Nightborne to 110 for a special set of cosmetic Heritage Armor. The most important thing you should note is that there are no official beta keys. Blizzard opens the gates to their betas by granting access to your account — not sending you a beta key. If you’re in the beta, you’ll be able to download and play the WoW Classic client from your Battle.net launcher. If not, you aren’t in the beta. It’s easy to be tricked into thinking you’ll get a beta key from an email that looks like it’s from an official Blizzard address, but don’t believe their lies — they’re all fake. Our old friend Quest Helper isn’t updated for the client, but there’s !Questie and MonkeyQuest to help you track available quests and their objectives. The biggest challenge to leveling up in the beta is searching for where the quest objectives are, so if you’re looking to hit the level 30 cap fast — or just the level 5 cap in today’s stress test — you’ll need one of these. If you’ve not yet received an invitation, all hope is not lost. Blizzard did announce a number of Stress Tests that they’ll be using in order to “put our servers and technology through their paces in a series of stress tests.” These will “extend the opportunity to even more players. Level caps will also be in place to ensure we’re emphasizing the “stress” in “stress test.” Site Powered By EzWebSolution Contact us at webmaster@wowlvlguidesite.com \| Sitemap xml \| Sitemap txt \| Sitemap	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3586

This guy is like the crazy uncle who shows up at Sunday dinner, helps himself to one too many sherries, is incessantly flatulent, and mumbles offensive, inappropriate, antagonistic utterances to all of the guests. Jimmah -- still clawing desperately for the limelight ever since he was upstaged at the Boston Dem convention in 2004 by that cheese-burger sucking moron, Michael Moore -- now bloviates that the biggest failure of his presidency was NOT getting re-elected. “I guess my biggest failure was not getting reelected,” Carter said. And what did the southern Democrat learn from his 1980 electoral loss to Ronald Reagan? “[N]ot to ever let American hostages be held for 444 days in a foreign country without extracting them.” He adds, “I did the best I could, but I failed.” Carter also claimed that Sen. Ted Kennedy’s challenge in the Democratic primaries “cost me a lot of votes,“ and that he ”should have paid more attention to the organization of the Democratic Party.” “I was not only the leader of our nation, but I was also the leader of the Democratic Party. And I think I failed in that respect to keep the party united.” In addition, Carter says that America has lost its competitive edge, the U.S. is ready for a gay president and Israel should withdraw from Palestinian territory. Wow! While his assertions are pretty absurd, that last one is a howler. I mean, some guy who was a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who served honorably, came out when DADT was repealed, and got either party's nomination would not trouble me at all: content of his (or her) character and all that. But, I wish this Jew-hating old bastard would just choke on a piece of gefilte fish or something.

__label__cc	0.615959	0.384041	Kyllaros The Captain awoke in the air, thrown from his bunk by a sudden lurching of the ship. His ears were full of a crunching sound, groaning, a horrific tearing that could only be the hardwood of the hull coming apart, followed by rushing water. As soon as he could keep his feet, he dashed for the ladder. The sunlight blinded him momentarily at the hatch. He clung to the ladder-top and yelled, "Report!" "We hit something, port side below the waterline." Rinceley's voice was eerily calm. "The hull is cracked open." He could see, now, barely. The men were lowering lifeboats. "Who ordered the 'abandon ship'?" "I did." Again the first mate spoke without emotion. "Go look at the hole, man, she's doomed." The Captain clambered unsteadily up on deck, made for the rail, leaned over: sure enough, a gash big enough for a man to step through was torn into the side of the ship, stretching down and out of sight below the waterline. "Where is Harpagos?" "Out of sight to the East. She caught better wind just before dawn; we haven't been so lucky." The Captain willed Kyllaros' wound to heal, but of course it didn't, and never would. He had known she was destined for the bottom the moment he looked over the railing. "What was it?" "What do you think?" He'd seen a Bua, just once, when he was a young officer. An immense forked tail had burst out of the water and swatted a cutter to kindling after no greater offense than firing off a signal flare. Ships over deep water go as quietly as they can, or risk a similar fate. Everyone knows this. "Who was making noise?" Rinceley shrugged. "Masts creak. Ships come down hard in the water. Men yell while at work. Who knows? It only gave us a glancing blow." The Captain watched the men wrestle with lines, settling the lifeboats into the water. Soon they were tossing down bags of food, provisions. It might be some time before Harpagos turned to investigate why her sister ship hadn't caught up. Rinceley shook his head solemnly. "I had the wheel." "We risked crossing deep water on my order. I am Master of this ship." He nodded towards the lifeboat. "Go." Rinceley made no more argument, surrendered the wheel to the Captain, and went to take his place on the lifeboat. on Friday, August 24, 2012 Labels: Downward To The Waters, Red Writing Hood, sf I can feel him. He's just on the other side of the wall. I know there's a wall because he's leaning against it, feeling the cold brick against his back. It's not comfortable, but it's more comfortable than standing up straight, and he'll have plenty of warning before he has to return to attention. He'll hear… a buzz, from the security door, and then footsteps for a bit before anyone even came into view. Plenty of time to look alert and official. He hates me. He hasn't been told who I am, or what I'm supposed to have done, or really much of anything except that I'm dangerous, and that's enough for him. If that buzz sounded and the footsteps approached and he was ordered to open my cell and put a bullet through my head, he would do it unquestioningly. He cares deeply. He's a team player. The buzzer sounds, the footsteps begin. I hear it with his ears. He wonders if he's about to be ordered to kill me. He's excited at the prospect. He straightens up. Someone very important speaks to him. I can't tell who it is. The face means nothing to me because it means nothing to him: my guard only thinks of the person as a rank, as a source of authority. He is being given additional information about me. He is re-deployed to the other side of the hall, facing the cell door. He now knows that I am bound and blindfolded, immobilized and robbed of all my natural senses, but he is more afraid of me than before. He suspects that he is under-equipped for this responsibility; he wishes he had a shotgun instead of a pistol. The footsteps move away, the buzz sounds again and the security door swings closed. My guard feels as if he's had a brush with greatness. When all is silent he creeps back across the hall, reaches out with an unsteady hand, and — sliding the observation window open — he peers in. It is amusing to see myself through his eyes, to feel his revulsion at the sight of me, his fear, his outrage. He is angry that he hasn't been given permission to kill me, though that anger soon gives way to a satisfaction that his commanders know better than he. He returns to the other side of the hall, believing himself safer there. It is what he has been told, after all. The precautions are guesses, but they are educated guesses. He does not think of himself as 'expendable', and surely, neither do they. His mind wanders: there's a girl. There's more than one girl in there, knocking around, flashing in and out, but there is one girl in particular, special, one of perhaps permanent significance. He relaxes his mind with her, he comforts himself with her memory. He plans to return to her, if he gets a weekend pass. There is a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach that he will not.

Now his best friend’s brother wants him in bed and on stage. But giving into his wolf’s need for love could risk the quiet life Frank has created for himself—and his heart. Settled in the small town of Waycroft Falls, Frank is content to be a lone wolf among the white picket fences and dollar book bins until he finds himself sniffing his best friend’s brother. Tom smells like hot apple pie and his Broadway smile has Frank lolling his tongue. But when the visiting actor learns Frank’s secret and plies him with hot kisses to get him to star in his play, Frank can’t help but wonder if Tom is only acting. Tom ran away from family obligations to be a Broadway star. If he could make it there, he could make it anywhere…but he didn’t. Trudging home to Waycroft Falls to open his sister’s new performance space brings him face to face with a werewolf—a werewolf that would be perfect for Tom’s shoestring production of Beauty and the Beast. Staying in Tiny Town USA would be worth it if he can somehow convince the sexy wolf to expose his furry condition on stage and howl privately in Tom’s bed.

The first thing he always did was take a large lungful of air. It reoriented him to the outside. His animal cataloged the smells—car exhaust, grass, tree pollen, and wait, a mouse skittering in the Dumpster out back. Frank’s urge to run built. He circled the apartments, looking for the storm drain near the landscaping wall. Inside him, his animal wiggled in excitement at the prospect of being freed. Frank shucked his clothes behind the wall and tucked them into the shelter of the pipe, out of view. Then he shifted, his hands lengthening, hair sprouting, and muzzle growing. His point of view shortened, now three feet from the ground as he blinked through the eyes of his wolflike animal. Frank couldn’t stand still any longer. He sprang into the woods. Frank ran, crashing through the underbrush and into the darkening shelter of the trees. He leaped over a shrub, felt the give of a sapling as he plowed through the brushwood. The animals and birds quieted at his loud, headlong dash, knowing he wasn’t of the forest, only disguised and playing at being a creature of the wood. His paws skidded on a pile of old leaves. Frank almost lost his balance as he skipped up and over a fallen log. Around him, the scents of the forest all pushed in on him. Here a whiff of mold, there an astringent sniff of decay, everywhere the menthol of evergreen sap and wild herbs growing scattered on the forest floor. Dry twigs snapped beneath his paws. His tongue lolled from his mouth, the fresh taste of the woods painting the back of his throat. The sun dipped below the horizon, the sky inking the tops of the trees. And Frank ran on until his limbs stopped, shaky and trembling. He collapsed onto a blanket of pine needles and leaves, moss and fungi cradling him as he panted. As he caught his breath, the sounds of the woods lapped back around him. Insects and birds first. A harsh caw from a crow shrieked a hundred yards to his right. The chirp of a cricket sawed a few feet away. The rat-a-tat of a woodpecker echoed above. And the still of twilight calmed him. When he’d rested enough that his legs would support him again, Frank began the slow jog back to the apartments, letting his nose guide him through the darkening visibility of the woods. He could smell Mrs. Reynolds’s nighttime cocoa, and Mr. Reynolds’s liniment that stank of capsaicin. The lighted windows of the apartment building led him the last few feet, and he scurried up to the storm drain. But his clothes weren’t there. The sky darkened into night. Frank knew Mrs. Anderson was out, but he could try to get the elderly Reynolds couple to buzz him inside. And hope they didn’t ask why he was naked trotting up the stairs. Or he could stay in wolf form without a tag, which meant a night outside running from animal control and/or dodging every human that would mistake him for a stray dog. Or wait, a third option. There was an oak that almost reached the ledge of his apartment window on the second floor. He never bothered to lock the window. Frank shifted back to human and sprinted across the yard. He leaped for the lower boughs of the tree, grunting as the bark dug into the flesh of his palms. Frank swung himself up to straddle a branch, regretting it as the rough wood scraped his thighs. He crouched in the tree, awkwardly trying to shield his more delicate parts from the smaller whiplike twigs. He skirted around the trunk, grimacing as a low branch brushed a little too close to his groin. There. He was now on the side that faced the apartment house. Frank balanced upright, his arms pinwheeling until he caught another branch higher up to steady himself. The leaves around him shivered on their stalks, the rustling loud. Please don’t let Mrs. Reynolds look out her window. Using the taller branch as a guide, Frank placed one bare foot in front of the other and inched away from the security of the trunk. The limb beneath his feet shook as his weight tested its strength. He slid a foot farther out on the branch. It dipped, the leaves at the tip brushing against the side of his window. Just a few feet more. An ominous crack sounded beneath him, and Frank froze. The branch popped again. It wouldn’t hold. He could make a jump for it. Frank swallowed hard. He should make a jump for it. Frank jumped. And missed the house, falling into the azalea bushes. Just as his hunky new neighbor from across the hall walked out of the apartment building and down the front steps. Frank had seen Tom in the hall that morning, carrying boxes. Trying to be neighborly, Frank had introduced himself and offered to help. Tom had turned Frank down but flashed the whitest, most even teeth at him. Frank had seen nothing whiter outside of a movie theater big screen. They’d exchanged pleasantries, commented on the weather, and then gone their separate ways. Or rather, that was what Frank wished had happened. What went down was: “Need help?” Frank barely got the words out when his new neighbor turned in the doorway. Frank froze. God, the man was gorgeous. “Naw, man. I got it.” Tom shifted the box in his arms to hold out his hand. “I’m Tom Davidson.” Frank wiped a clammy hand on his jeans and shook Tom’s hand. “Hot.” And Frank knew his mouth had disclosed the exact thing his brain was thinking. Idiot. Who said that to a guy he’d just met? A guy like Tom already knew he was hot. Tom tilted his head as if he hadn’t heard Frank right. “Yeah. The temperatures are a little warm for this time of year.” Frank didn’t dare correct him and kept his mouth shut, afraid he’d say something worse. “Okay, well then, see you around, Frank.” Tom chuckled and continued into his apartment. Meanwhile Frank beat it down the stairs, unsure how he managed not to walk into traffic as his mind ran over the exchange fail again and again. So yeah. That was the less than stellar first impression he’d given Tom this morning. And now Frank followed that up by hunkering down naked in the azalea bushes. “Are you okay?” The gleam from the safety light caught Tom’s dark gold hair as he tilted his head to peer over the shrubs. The shadows sank into his chiseled cheekbones. He looked like a brooding movie star ready to sweep a celluloid damsel off her feet. Too bad Frank was a naked man trying to keep from exposing himself. Frank crouched down farther, making himself as small as possible, hoping the azalea’s pink blooms would distract Tom from looking at his hairy backside. “Are you sure?” Tom leaned closer. “Are you… Do you have any clothes on?” Frank racked his brain for some reason he’d be naked and hiding in the bushes. “Um, I, uh, just got out of the shower, and I leaned too far out my window.” “Oh my God. Did you fall from that height?” Tom glanced up to the second floor, to Frank’s closed window and then back down. “Do you need an ambulance?” Frank sighed. This conversation was only getting worse. Cupping his hands over his privates, Frank rose from behind the bushes. “I’m okay. Just need to get back inside. I have a hidden key if you can get me past the front security door.” Tom’s eyes widened when Frank stood. Frank winced, sure he looked like one long scrape covered in leaves. He blew at the hair in his eyes. A twig dangled, caught in an auburn strand, but Frank was unwilling to expose himself to yank it out. “Sure. Sure.” Tom fumbled for his key and opened the door. Frank half hopped over the acorns and chestnut burrs to slide past Tom. Tom wrinkled his nose as Frank passed. Good old wet dog smell. It always clung to him after a run in the woods. Frank took the stairs two at a time to escape. After a shower and shave—why did going furry always lead to needing a shave? The rest of his hair receded. Why didn’t his beard?—Frank spent thirty minutes in front of his bathroom mirror, trying to psych himself up to knock on Tom’s door and invite him over the next day for coffee or to watch football. He scratched behind an ear, feeling the healing scab from a graze he’d gotten when he’d fallen into the azalea bushes. Staring at his reflection, he tried to look earnest and approachable. He could do this. He had game. “Hey, I know you don’t know many people in town, and I’m a loser, but would you like to spend time with me?” Frank made a face at himself. Probably shouldn’t label yourself as a loser. “Yo, you want to watch football? No, how about basketball? Baseball? No? What about Mexican wrestlers?” Oh God, what if Tom doesn’t like sports? “I ordered two large pizzas by mistake tonight, and I could use some help, or I’ll be gorging on pepperoni for a week.” Lame. Frank’s own gaunt features stared back at him from the mirror. Who was he kidding? He’d always be the guy who lost the genetic lottery and ended up with the family curse. Galen’s syndrome was rare, only affecting about one in 2,000, but well-known enough that most people had at least heard of it. The Greek surgeon Galen had coined the word lycanthropy to explain the shape-shifting curse that traveled down through a family tree. Like most recessive gene disorders, it only manifested when two genes were passed down to a child, leading early scholars to think the afflicted had been re-cursed or spared for a generation due to divine providence. It was only with modern medicine that curses were found to be attached to DNA, breaking and molding chromosomes like magical radiation. But despite better understanding of the disorder, the stigma remained, not helped by the occasional local television feature linking the disorder to werewolf mythology. All Frank knew was the recessive curse gene made him even more different from his family. He’d already been pushing it when he came out as gay. Turning into a wolf at sixteen had been…well, more than his father and stepmother could handle. She wanted to protect the kids, she told him. He loved his half siblings, didn’t he? It wasn’t safe to have a wild animal around children. It had gutted him. They turned him out of his own home. He’d been angry. He’d done something stupid, lashing out, snapping at his sister Robbie. It still hurt, remembering the tears on his baby sister’s face, her eyes wide and scared. Of him. It was then he knew his stepmother had been right. Dangerous animals didn’t belong in a family. So he’d left, traveling all the way across the state until he landed in Waycroft Falls. It had been hard that first year. There were a lot of adult things he still hadn’t figured out. Like how to ask out a guy who he hadn’t known his whole life. Moving from one small town to another had been a bad idea. Frank bonked his head against the mirror, gazing down into the white porcelain sink. He rubbed at a stray hair that clung to the side. But on the plus side, small towns meant he rarely needed a car. And he could shift and run if he needed. He should take his clothes with him next time. Goodreads reviews for Wolf Around the Corner	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3597
__label__wiki	0.658049	0.658049	Ancient Chinese Clothing: A Distinct Cultural Identity Geography, social customs, and technological innovations played a key part in shaping ancient Chinese clothing habits. Though cultural values, social stratification, and gender decided the contours of dressing, practical usability reigns supreme. Regional variations and changes introduced over different periods of time brought in variations in design features and pattern. Features of Ancient Chinese Clothing The legends credit the Yellow Emperor for inventing the real clothes. However, the traditional form of Chinese clothing, including blouse, knee-length tunic, and ankle-long skirt, took shape during the Shang Dynasty about 3,500 years ago. The Zhou era that began in 1046 BC saw the introduction of the long gown. New refinements, designs, colors, decorative patterns, cutting, and embroidery were introduced as a result of subsequent improvements over the various centuries and dynasties with each dynasty having its own type/design of clothes. Various dynasties favored different colors, such as red being the favorite of the Zhou, white of the Shang, black of the Xia, purple of the Tang, and types of embroideries to denote social position, occupation, and political authority. What most people do not realize today is that some of the Tang Dynasty era clothing is still being worn in Korea and Japan today as part of their traditional dressing. You can see this in period Korean and Japanese dramas today. Sericulture and silk production in China dates back to 27th century BC. The material was used to manufacture ancient Chinese clothing for the rich and affluent class. Common men used kudzu, ramie, and hemp fabrics made by primitive power looms. Drawloom fabrics were available there as early as 400 BC. Different forms of fashionable clothes known were introduced by designers, such as... Han Fu: A type of cross collar long gown, it was the common dress of the Han people. According to legends, the Yellow Emperor invented this ancient Chinese clothing. With simple designer patterns marked by loose wide sleeves and absence of buttons, Han Fu was worn by enlacing the right lap on the left side. Tang Zhuang: A type of suit, the dress was a hybrid of Manchu jacket and has coiled front buttons. Attractive with traditional colors and designs with straight collars, it was a hit with Chinese aristocrats. Qi Pao: Featuring coiled buttons with straight collar on beautifully decorated silk clothes, it was the chosen dress of rich females. Dragon Robe: Made only for emperors, it featured embroidered dragons on bright yellow gowns with round collar and buttons. Mandarin Collared Dress: State officials, known as Mandarin, wore embroidered gowns without collar. Inlay, bordering, embroidery, coiling, and colorful insertions were the types of mechanisms used to beautify ancient Chinese dresses. Embroidery was first invented in China. Flora, fauna, natural landscape, architectures, and geometrical patterns were commonly used to decorate clothes. Nowadays, the ancient clothing has been replaced by modern, Western-style clothes as western culture has crept into Chinese societies as the rural urban migration continues in China. However, local people prefer to dress in traditional attire during religious ceremonies and festivals, such as ancient worship festival and spring festival. In areas far away in the north and west, where a large numbers of ethnic minorities live, traditional costumes are a common sight. Older people living in villages continue with their ancient Chinese clothing practices, although in a modified form and in less numbers. Television and movies are agog with traditional Chinese dresses, offering an insight into the distinctive clothing practices.

Quinn, who plays his daughter on Castle, was so sweet, and suggested someone who'd maybe like to be a father himself: "I have the sin of pride when it comes to Molly. I don't know why. I am not responsible for her amazing-ness in any way. She has great parents. I get all, I don't know, wrapped up. It's tough. It's tough for guys who play people's fathers! [laughs] It's tough for people who play fathers on television." And I'm probably being thick, but I don't quite get the mechanics on this game he played with the Serenity cast: "Then the other game was, find the extra. When you're doing a scene, there's always one of them staring at you in a weird way... I would have them turn their backs and count to ten and hide in a crowd of extras, staring at them in a hee-bee gee-bee way. And they'd have to find me." Does anyone not imaginatively-impaired get this? I think the multiple "thems" are throwing me off... QuoterGal \| December 10, 11:27 CET QuoterGal - I was feeling pretty dense, too, and I think you're right about the "them"s and "they"s being used to represent too many different groups. However, near as I can tell, the cast had noticed that there was always at least one background performer (See what being former extra makes me call extras?) who would, between takes, be staring at the cast members in a strange way. So what Nathan would do was to have the other cast members turn around and count to ten, during which time he would hide amongst the background folks, and stare at the cast members in that strange way, until they spotted him. If I'm right, I believe this would only really work in pretty substantial crowd scenes, as even just a regular street scene, I reckon, would make it easy to spot him. Anyway, like I said, I may be wrong, but it sounds like a fancy, life-sized version of "Where's Waldo?" XanMan \| December 10, 11:52 CET Aww, it sucks he misunderstood the question about the Firefly references. I'd've loved to find out. Hee. grrarg \| December 10, 12:48 CET Agreed, pathsunbeaten... I was hoping he would have some Firefly easter egg shenanigans to talk about, but he seems to have misunderstood. I guess it's not surprising since the question Nathan seems to have thought he was being asked is probably the one he hears most often, and his "nothing is in the works anywhere by anyone" part seemed to be a genteel hint to fans to ask less frequently. Maybe I misread the statement though; I sure didn't understand the story about him hiding among the extras either...! :P CellarDoor \| December 10, 22:00 CET Wow, that was the first time I was able to go through the comments section on Huffington Post and not see a bunch of people ripping each others heads off!

__label__wiki	0.87116	0.87116	English \| 简体中文 \| 繁體中文 \| 한국어 \| 日本語 Thursday, 15 November 2018, 18:00 HKT/SGT Source: Yangon Aerodrome Company Limited Yangon Aerodrome Company announces new milestones and upgrades for Yangon International Airport YANGON, Myanmar, Nov 15, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - Yangon Aerodrome Company Limited (YACL) is increasing the capacity of Yangon International Airport (YIA), the gateway to Myanmar, and stepping up marketing to open new international routes, even as YIA is likely to close 2018 with the slowest growth in air passenger traffic in five years. At a media briefing today to announce the five millionth passenger arrival so far this year, YACL said that 2018 is expected to show an increase of 2.5% of around 6 million in air passenger traffic at YIA, compared to 5.92 million for the whole of 2017. Over the past five years, air passenger growth at YIA - by far the busiest of Myanmar's three international airports - had increased at an average of 8.6% per year. YACL said that while tourist arrivals from Asian markets continue to grow in 2018, those from European and North American markets appear to have been impacted by international media reports on domestic Myanmar issues. "While there has been a slowdown in visitor growth, we have continued to expand YIA's capacity and capability while intensifying efforts to open up new markets. We are confident that, in partnership with all the relevant stakeholders in the tourism industry, the community and the Myanmar government, 2019 tourist air passenger traffic will surpass that of 2018," said Mr Ho Chee Tong, Chief Executive Officer of YACL. "As the investor and operator of Myanmar's main international airport, we have a responsibility to enhance infrastructure while striving to deliver a high level of safety, security and service. YIA is the gateway to Myanmar and it is important that we deliver an outstanding experience for tourists and business travellers," he said. YACL took over YIA's operation and management in October 2015 under a Public-Private Partnership tender from Myanmar's Department of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The agreement is for 30 years of operation, with an option to renew for a further 20 years (10+10). Based on the estimated six million arrivals in 2018 and the significant investments to date, YIA is currently operating well below its sustained capacity. Since early 2018, the management of YIA has embarked on the following enhancements: - Completion and go-live of Airport Operations Control Center (AOCC) since September 2018 - Full revision of Airport Layout including parking stands (improved safety) since October 2018 - Revamped Apron A to allow eight positions for A320 and B737 types or 10 positions for propeller aircraft; added two taxiways (to total eight currently), expediting runway vacancy - In-terminal improvements include: 30 new check-in counters at T1 with autonomous multi-level security equipment and five new Baggage Claim Belts at T1 apart from new lounges and F&B outlets. - Advanced Technical Support training and certification, skills development and talent acquisition "We have and continue to improve infrastructure, safety and efficiency processes. YIA can now handle wide-body aircraft including B777-300ER and A350. The current capacity will allow YIA to meet foreseeable growth needs for many years to come even with a single runway operation. With further enhancements, innovation and technology upgrades, YIA has the potential to increase the capacity much further," said Mr Jose Angeja, who was appointed Chief Operating Officer of YACL in November 2017. Mr Angeja said YIA has increased movements (one movement is one takeoff or one landing) per year at YIA from 62,937 in October 2015 to 77,000 currently (an increase of 1.2%). This is well below that of major single-runway airports such as Xiamen (China) with 192,000; Fukuoka (Japan) with 183,000; Phuket (Thailand) with 105,000 and world leaders Gatwick (UK) 286,000 and Mumbai (India) 320,000. Based on current capacity and international standards, subject to clearance for arrivals and departures by Myanmar's Air Traffic Control, YIA has the potential to operate up to 170,000 movements per year (or 19 movements per hour compared to an average of eight currently). "We are enhancing infrastructure, safety, technology, service levels and most importantly, the skill sets of Myanmar staff who will be YIA's leaders of tomorrow. YIA is a living organism that offers a first-time experience of Myanmar for tourists. It is the gateway to Myanmar and to the city of Yangon, and we strive to deliver a compelling user experience," said Mr Angeja. Over the next two to three years, YIA's further enhancements will include another parking apron for up to 13 Code C aircraft (Boeing 737), a rapid exit taxiway, construction of maintenance hangars, a Rescue and Fire-Fighting Station and reconstruction of the old Terminal 2 to include technological upgrades. The number of international airlines using YIA has increased from 25 in October 2015 to 31 currently (with the latest being Sichuan Airline from China making its first flight to YIA on 13 November 2018). The total routes connecting to YIA have increased from 21 international destinations to 29 currently. YIA now connects to 28 domestic destinations and handles seven domestic airlines. A major priority over the coming months is to work closely with the Ministry of Hotels & Tourism to address concerns arising from slower growth and to increase international air connectivity by: - Directly marketing to airlines at international air travel events to open new routes; - Developing sister airport connectivity within Asia; and - Partnering organisers of MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and events) to use Myanmar as a location for such events. "We are committed to the continual development of YIA. Beyond launching more routes and taking steps to improve our facilities and operations, we plan to work with global airlines and tourism boards to drive growth for Myanmar's leading airport," said Mr Ho.

__label__cc	0.6863	0.3137	dissemination / Divulgatory / modelling An important concept proposed in the BRAIN-IoT project is the introduction of a set of modelling tools allowing the description, verification and analysis of the different components and subsystems constituting the BRAIN-IoT architecture. The main goals of this approach are the following: Provide the ability to graphically represent the smart behaviour model. Describe and verify the functional behavioural of the overall BRAIN IoT architecture. Describe, analyse and verify the requirements of the Smart Behavioural components that should be developed for the BRAIN-IoT Use cases. Generate automatically the code and metadata of the Smart Behavioural components. Monitor deployed components and enable fast prototyping of new behaviours. Reduce the development time, ease integration of interoperable solutions and improve design quality. In order to reach these goals, BRAIN-IoT proposes to design, in WP3, a Modelling Framework as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: BRAIN-IoT modeling Framework The modeling language is used to represent the behaviour model, device and IoT platforms service APIs, and Data model. The modeling tool should support the modeling language to develop graphical model representation, then the graphical model will be transferred to the rigorous semantic to do some statistical modeling checking before generating the code. Then the java code will be generated by using the java code generator, and it will be built as OSGi bundles including the OSGi MANIFEST. Finally, the OSGi bundles will be released in the artifacts repository. The design flow based on the integration Papyrus, sensiNact, and BIP tools available in the CEA and UGA laboratories. These tools will be mainly used in the different design phases, including verification and analysis. This Paragraph gives a high-level view on the planned integration of tools related to IoT-ML in the project and a preliminary timeline for its realization. Figure 2: Interoperability of modelling tool IoT-ML modelling tools: Papyrus and sensiNact combined solution IoT-ML is a UML profile. It implements the IoT-A reference architecture for common concepts in IoT systems. This IoT-ML profile contains stereotypes that extend UML meta-classes, giving them new syntax and semantics. Indeed, IoT-ML has stereotypes that inherits the properties of OMG-standard MARTE 1.1 stereotypes for real-time embedded system modelling and the properties of OMG-standard SysML 1.4 stereotypes for system and requirements modelling. Moreover, the profile fosters the construction of models that may be used to make quantitative predictions considering IoT characteristics. The difference with standard MARTE is that IoT-ML adds new concepts that have evolved in embedded systems since the foundation of MARTE. Therefore, IoT-ML will become MARTE 2.0 and the standardization process will take place at the OMG. To model and design a desired IoT system, the IoT-ML allows to portray it using different views e.g.: Functional views including smart and behavioral units. Things views describing the physical entities annotated with Web of Things (WoT) properties. Hardware platform views showing up the connections between the instantiated physical entities. Deployment views describing how the instantiated functional units are allocated to the processing units of the physical entities, etc. In the context of BRAIN-IoT, the IoT-ML models are made in the Papyrus modeler tool. These models will be used to generate metadata for the modeled IoT services, either in WoT Thing Descriptions (as JSON-LD files) or OSGi bundle descriptors (MANIFEST.MF files). Generation will be implemented in Papyrus. The models will also be used for code generation and analysis, through a bridge to the BIP framework (see next paragraph). Finally, after deployment, the IoT-ML models will be used to monitor the states of devices and services connected to sensiNact platform. This is done through, first, the synchronization of the sensiNact data model, in sensiNact Studio, with the real devices and services. Then, the sensiNact data model is synchronized with the IoT-ML model. The latter synchronization is not bijective as IoT-ML models are described in their particular views, as described above, which are different from the basic sensiNact data model representation. Finally, IoT-ML state-machines can be transformed into sensiNact textual DSL descriptions. The DSL represent simple behaviors of services that can be quickly tested through the sensiNact platform, without redeployment. This allows fast prototyping of new behaviors after deployment. BIP (Behaviour, Interaction, Priority) In the framework of BRAIN-IoT, the operational semantics of the IoT-ML models is intended to be captured in BIP language, through a model-to-model transformation. By doing so, the transformed BIP model can be checked by simulation using the BIP Compiler and Engines. The BIP compiler allows generating C++ simulation code, while the BIP engine orchestrates the execution of the generated code. Simulation can be moreover combined with statistical model checking (SMC). Models subject to SMC analysis are described in the stochastic BIP language. In order to represent the model of the system in BIP (see Figure 2), two levels of representation of abstraction levels are planned. Actually, the abstraction level depends on the level of details that the designers want to observe on the system/ building block under development: The first refinement corresponds to a purely functional view, as only the Things and the smart behavior are represented, whereas the platform and the middleware are fully abstracted. In this case, Things are endowed with a behavior expressed in state-machines and communicate directly with the smart behavior. For instance, a robot movement actuator could be endowed with a specific behavior dictated by a smart component as it adjusts its position without collision based on the AI algorithm. In some cases, this model can also include libraries (i.e. Drivers) that interfaces with Things. This model can be simulated and checked with BIP Tool for any properties related to the functionality. For instance, the designer could check if the robot avoids collisions from a starting to the ending point. The second refinement brings hardware platform and middleware aspects to the BIP model. In this case, northbound bridges and southbound bridges are integrated at that level for accurate requests routing. These bridges embody the so-called sensiNact gateway. On one hand, southbound bridges are in charge of collecting data from sensors and services, and to send orders which will be performed by actuators. On the other hand, northbound bridges are specialized in interacting with remote systems (Deliverable 3.1). In addition, devices (i.e. sensors and actuators) and physical connectivity (i.e. Ethernet bus) are represented at that level. Besides, we have to note that the degree of details depends on requirements that the designers want to satisfy. Also, the refined models will enable additional analysis using the BIP tools, in particular, quantitative assessments regarding the performance of the system. For instance, what is the probability that two robots will collide? In addition to analysis, the BIP framework is also intended to generate Java code for specific components in the functional view (see Figure.2). For example, a monitoring service for the home temperature is automatically generated except the Things part which is wrapped as an OSGi bundle and plugged in the PAREMUS Service Fabric. These bundles interact with external service fabric using sensiNact bridges. Moreover, actuation and data and data gathering (to/from things respectively) are enabled through those bridges. It should be noted that the Things are only modeled because in the frame of BRAIN-IoT no new things will be designed, they are available on the shelf.

Meanwhile, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) broke out in protests outside the Assembly in protest. The Chief Minister was faced vote of confidence in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, to prove his majority to form the state government. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United) had issued whip to their legislators to vote in favour of the trust vote. The RJD and the Congress had also issued a similar whip to their legislators. Nitish led JD (U)-NDA government had a support of 132 MLAs. According to the communique issued from the Raj Bhawan, Nitish had claimed the support of 131 members, including the BJP, two independents and legislators of BJP allies Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM)-Secular and Rashtriya Lok Samata party (RLSP). Opposition RJD has 80 MLAs, the Congress 27 and the CPI-ML 3. Security arrangements were made in and around the assembly building ahead of the floor test. Yesterday, Nitish and BJP leader Sushil Modi were sworn-in as Bihar Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister respectively, and former has been asked to prove his majority on the floor by Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi. Nitish, on July 26 resigned as Bihar Chief Minister citing political differences with former ally, Lalu Prasad Yadav led Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), over corruption charges against the RJD supremo's son Tejashwi Yadav. He, however, on Thursday, took oath as Bihar Chief Minister for the sixth time, marking a historic transition of the state from a Grand Alliance government to an NDA regime. -With ANI inputs.

__label__cc	0.586323	0.413677	Sieben frühe Lieder Symphony No.2 in C-minor [1877 version, edited William Carragan] Laura Aikin (soprano) NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester Paavo Järvi NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester – Paavo Järvi conducts Anton Bruckner's Second Symphony – Laura Aikin performs Alban Berg’s Seven Early Songs [live webcast] Friday, May 17, 2019 Großer Saal, Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg With Paavo Järvi you get the modern jet-setting conductor who, whatever the repertory, is always responsibly prepared, coaxing orchestras to give of their best. Watching him and the response of his players you get the strongest impression that here is a man one works with, not for. He's a music-maker first and foremost. A week ago in London he was putting the Philharmonia Orchestra through its paces in Sibelius and Tchaikovsky. On this occasion in Hamburg he was journeying a different emotional road, a late Austrian Habsburg one looking back from Berg to Bruckner, two composers he sees as a particularly intuitive mix. In the interval interview of this webcast, he noted how for him Alban Berg's early death in 1935, at the age of fifty, was “the biggest tragedy of the twentieth-century … the most talented composer of the Second Viennese School … undated and relevant,” retaining a tonal persona to the end. In tackling the “curiosity” that's Bruckner's 1872 Second Symphony, the first of his Viennese period, he maintains it best to think of it rooted (hence by implication played) in mid-Romantic tones, to hear it of its day, freed of the monumentalism and “statement” of the later Symphonies. Mendelssohn came into his reference (‘Scottish’ Symphony?), but Schumann and Raff would not have gone amiss. Working with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, he reminded, brought back reminiscences of the “collective memory and DNA” of its post-war Bruckner tradition (Günter Wand's recordings presumably, but also, one imagines, the drama and tension of Tennstedt before him). In keeping with Järvi's 2012 Frankfurt recording, this performance followed the 1877 revision in William Carragan's recent 2007 edition, complete with Carragan's optional reinstatement in the A-flat slow movement of the difficult (high) horn episode of the first version, deleted by Bruckner at, demonstrably, the expense of architectural balance. Aiming to convey a composer ever prone to symphonic tussling and indecision, yet to find his feet despite having reached his half-century, benefitting from musicians attentive and attuned to the style, Järvi presented us with ideas freshly brushed on a blank canvas. He found a deep, long poetry in the Andante (notwithstanding some pizzicato untidiness), the final hushed bars suspended like a Caspar David Friedrich night painting. He crafted fine, organically urgent codas to the outer movements (especially the Finale, a glory), and welded a magnificently hammering Scherzo (placed originally second), the orchestra at full tilt, with a particularly tender Trio. The circling, repetitive phrases, the climax-building, the terraced contrasts of timbre and dynamics, solos, unisons and tuttis, fire and lyricism in temporal/paused opposition – the Bruckner fingerprints we know so well – were never far away, yet in keeping with Järvi's desire, sensed more prophetically than memorially, foresight before hindsight: a triumph. Using smaller forces favouring antiphonal violins, with four double basses to the left, Berg's 1928 orchestration of his Seven Early Songs, written while he was a student of Schoenberg, in Vienna, focussed on a different sequence of vistas. An order of expressive concentration touched vaguely by Wolf, Mahler, Strauss, Zemlinsky perhaps … distilled through ghosts from Verklärte Nacht ... flying freely yet chained by key-signatures. Järvi shaped a lusciously warm, chorded support for Laura Aikin, standing in at short notice for indisposed Hanna-Elisabeth Müller. Her account and projection wasn't altogether ideal, however, not helped by her placement behind the orchestra (to the right), a miscalculation. This had the effect, along with following her score too closely, of reducing proximity and distancing/covering the words (Berg's choice of poems are distinguished, they need to be articulated and heard). She gradually warmed into the music, but, given its brief fifteen-minute span, her uneasy vibrato never entirely went away. More bloom and beauty would have been welcome, vocally less within than with the ensemble. One hears varyingly negative reports about the Elbphilharmonie; whatever its problems, the audio engineers seem to have the measure of the place. This was a sonically flattering relay, with plenty of presence and detail, and good camerawork. The highs of the Bruckner had plenty of air and space to impact and dissipate – all of five spacious in-the-round storeys from ground level.

It was an arresting encounter, in awarding him the Gold Medal the jury for once making no mistake, righting the record of a contest which frankly hasn't had the best of runs in recent years. From an eminent musical family (his father is the violinist and conductor Jean-Jacques Kantorow), Kantorow's teachers have included Pierre-Alain Volondat and, currently, Rena Shereshevskaya at the École Normale de Musique de Paris, a former Moscow disciple of Vlassenko and Flier. He's a romantic, aristocratically imperious player, physically powerful, yet with time for poetry and dream, the silence of stillness. Technically glistening, a starry-eyed fantasy, this performance – uncut, free from the Siloti excisions that used to be perpetrated by the Gilels-Cherkassky generation – was memorably epic, comfortably up there with the great performances that shape one's life. Kantorow, gloriously toned, his touch as lyrically melting and feathered as anvil-like, delivered an immaculate reading. Valery Gergiev, demeanour notwithstanding, welded a tough symphonic scaffolding, not a balance or entry out of place. And his Mariinsky Orchestra rose mightily to the occasion, not least Olga Volkova and Oleg Sendetsky in their respective solo violin and cello contributions to the innovative piano trio texturing of the slow movement. High class virtuoso artists, they joined Kantorow to make vintage chamber music, every detail and temporal nuance of the score intensely communicated. Tchaikovsky completed this concerto in Paris in December 1879. He thought it one of his best works, an estimation history was not to share. I've always been partial. In the right hands, dispatched with the right temperament, it can be a molten journey, viscerally more thrilling and demanding than the B-flat minor First. Cutting a handsome, languorous, black-shirted presence, Kantorow didn't disappoint. His cadenzas blistered the ether, his high-octane octaves and unison runs scorched the keyboard, the stamping Russian pages of the finale danced their way across the Urals. Unforgettable. Gergiev's Berlioz was a lesser feast. Best for the Faust excerpts, attentive and brilliant. But flawed by a Fantastic Symphony that arguably had too many variables of tempo and decision to entirely convince, dramatically or musically. True, the ppp tutti close of the first movement glimpsed the religioso, and, emphatically, the March to the Scaffold, ensured no turning back. But the 'Dies Irae' Witches Sabbath scampered merely frenetically, while the Ball, one or two unexpected counterpoints and characters aside, remained largely earthbound, little “tumult of a festive party” apparent. No doubting, though, the quality and discipline of orchestral playing across the sections, with, witness the third movement, a particularly glowing string foundation, “Bentley”-class doublebasses and cellos to the fore (right of podium, alongside violas). By the end, sweat flying, disheveled and grizzly, Gergiev curtain-called the principals, dutiful in their body language, went through a round of limp handshakes, then strode off brusquely. Was he happy with the evening, with himself? Impossible to tell. The French-designed concert hall of the Mariinsky Theatre, publicly inaugurated by Gergiev in 2007, is a spacious, acoustically striking space, a showcase modern venue lending itself well to the kind of sound engineering and perceptively directed HD camera work that distinguished this webcast.

The Franklin, Tenn.-based group is now the largest chain in the country by hospital count, unseating HCA. The deal,coming on the heels of other big plays such as Tenet Healthcare Corp.’s acquisition of Vanguard Health Systems and the merger of Trinity Health and Catholic Health East, speaks to the growth of the hospital mega-system and the mounting pressures on smaller systems and standalone facilities that have to compete against well-capitalized Goliaths. As Community works to digest its purchase, providers that compete with Community’s hospitals will be looking at how they can achieve the similar efficiencies without the size. Some, which might need capital and balance sheet help, will likely look for a buyer or merger partner, said Jeff Hoffman, senior partner at Kurt Salmon, a consulting firm. But others may pursue non-ownership affiliations to build the same skill set necessary for population health management. Community has already announced a number of promotions among its top leadership team to prepare for the HMA integration. Larry Cash will serve as president of financial services in addition to holding his CFO position. David Miller, formerly president of Division 1 operations, will expand his role to oversee all six divisions and the integration of HMA’s hospitals as chief operating officer. And Dr. Lynn Simon, chief quality officer, will be president of clinical services. What is on CEO and CIO mind for 2014 in HealthCare IT Question: What frustrates you most about health IT? Arlyn Broekhius, Vice President and CIO of Sanford Health (Fargo, N.D., and Sioux Falls, S.D.):Healthcare IT has been in the catch-up mode after years of underinvesting. It is frustrating when we can’t do everything our users are requesting. There are limited resources and we have to prioritize. Marc Chasin, MD, System Vice President and CIO of St. Luke’s Health System (Boise, Idaho): I don’t feel that I get frustrated about health IT. If I do get frustrated about anything [it’s] that there are so many good projects that we could be investigating but there is only so much time and resources available. We have to scrutinize each and every project from a strategic alignment perspective as well as a cost/benefit perspective. Mark Newton, President and CEO of Swedish Covenant Hospital (Chicago): When does it end? How do you know when you’ve achieved it? I think the frustrating part is that all of these systems, how do you get them all to integrate — it’s just very difficult to do that. All you have to do is read what healthcare.gov is experiencing, and [for hospitals] it seems more expensive and more complicated. Shafiq Rab, MD, Vice President and CIO of Hackensack (N.J.) University Medical Center: There is no incentive for patients — who are the key to improve healthcare — to participate. We incentivized the hospitals and eligible providers. To complete the circle we have to include mental health and sub-acute institutions including rehab and nursing homes. The transition of care and meaningful use stage 2 is dependent on it. Chris Van Gorder, President and CEO of Scripps Health (San Diego): The expansion of information technology in healthcare has been frustratingly slow and lags behind many other industries. Contributing to that frustration has been a lack of interoperability between various electronic medical records systems and many of the other hospital and clinic applications that generate patient data. A lack of industry knowledge and the pressure from government deadlines to make big strides in a relatively short period of time complicates efforts to address these challenges. Q: What would make your job as CIO easier? Arlyn Broekhuis: We are implementing an integrated EHR. The more we can get vendors to provide patient-centered, integrated solutions, the better off everyone will be. Dr. Marc Chasin: I have to say that I presently feel that I have the ideal job in a fantastic organization. I have executive peers that want me to succeed as well as the most engaged physician group that I could ask for. If I had to identify an area that would make my job easier would be to have my business partners engage IT early on in the development of the business strategy. Many times the strategy is developed and articulated but there often a misconception that the IT piece is a quick box to check when in actuality the development of technological capabilities is complex and requires careful planning prior to deploying a new service or business line. Dr. Shafiq Rab: There are several things that could help to make my job easier, such as: targeted education for healthcare boards and CEOs about HIT; a universal connector or standardization on protocols; a secure network for communication between patient and providers or providers to providers; interoperability between the major EHR providers; true test sites that the ONC would collaborate and test out the requirements for MU2 and MU3; the development of hardware-based chipset-level security. Q: For the CEOs, what role do you play in health IT at your organization? Mark Newton: The CEO reports directly to me, and I play a role in deciding priority, overall strategy and overall funding for HIT. Chris Van Gorder: As CEO, I have made achieving IT goals and meaningful use targets a top priority throughout our entire organization by dedicating the people and financial resources needed to ensure success. Q: What are you most excited about for the future of health IT at your organization? Aryln Broekhuis: I am excited about the possibilities in healthcare with new technologies like real-time location systems. There are many opportunities to use technology to continue improving patient care and at the same time be more efficient. Dr. Marc Chasin: I am excited to be a part of the transformation of healthcare. I have a superb group of IT professionals that understand the triple aim and where IT fits into this puzzle. They are ready and eager to partner to improve the health of the patients of our community while providing a solid highly reliable IT infrastructure that will facilitate the seamless transfer of data to all care environments. Mark Newton: Right now I’m more excited about HIT’s application for clinical integration. We’re on that verge right now where we will have the required HIT environment that allows us to improve clinical care and have physicians using that data. We’re at the point now with ambulatory and inpatient EHR that in very short order be able to sue that information for clinical decisions on what is the right care. The other piece I’m interested in is having a patient portal. I’m looking forward to getting that implemented [in 2014]. The consumer is so used to using that in banking and airlines. I’m excited about having more consumerism in HIT. Dr. Shafiq Rab: I’m excited about: cloud computing, mobility and apps for patients; empowering patients to take charge of their health; video interaction between parents and NICU babies; taking science from the labs to patient bedside; and total collaboration and connectivity between various fields of care, including: catastrophic care, acute care, sub-acute care, primary care, wellness, and preventive care. Chris Van Gorder: I am most excited about the benefits that HIT will help us deliver to patients by making their medical records instantly and securely accessible to all of their healthcare providers and themselves at the click of a computer mouse. Coupled with online patient portals and wireless health devices and apps, health IT is letting us deliver the right care in the right place at the right time, resulting in better health outcomes and lower costs.

__label__cc	0.639587	0.360413	Review: 5th Evolution: Carbide City #1 I'm always on the lookout for a good superhero game, especially one that runs on the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition chasis. While Mutants and Masterminds is a very good game, it doesn't scratch my itch because I don't care for it's damage system. I like hit points, but I also have been looking for a superhero game where buckets of dice weren't necessary. I'm glad to say 5th Evolution: Carbide City #1 from Limitless Adventures fits the bill. I was given physical and digital copies of 5th Evolution: Carbide City #1 for review purposes. I'm going to talk about the formatting of Carbide City #1, nine of it's 45 pages is a comic book to introduce you to the setting and it's super powered inhabitants. I really like this, the art is excellent, the layout is great and it's fun. For some reason it reminds me 80's and 90's role playing games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from Palladium Books, in particular. The book opens with a brief overview of the world and Carbide City itself. This leads into four encounters and ends with running a campaign in the setting. Next is equipment and then we are given write-ups for minions and henchmen. After that we are given full statistics and back stories for ten supervillains. Additionally, there is a "further adventures" section for each villain. Then we are given ten superhero Archetypes: Blaster (Cyclops), Brick (Colossus), Feral (Beast), Gadgeteer (Forge), Ghost (Kitty Pryde), Martial Artist (Shang Chi), Marksman (Scalphunter), Speedster (Quicksilver), Telepath (Emma Frost), Teleporter (Nightcrawler). Unlike other superhero RPGs, 5th Evolution: Carbide City strictly uses Archetypes for character creation, there are no rules for building a character with points or randomly rolling one. You pick an Archetype and work with your Game Master if you want to change things up. The Archetypes are 12th level characters and honestly, if you are well-versed in DnD 5E, you could build your own. I really like this approach. I have numerous games where I can customize and min-max my character to the fullest, but this is a great way to just get the ball rolling. I honestly find it refreshing. We are told that 12th level characters are lower powered than many of the superheroes in comics and I can see that, but I find the power level to be good for say the X-men of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Additionally, each Archetypes Advancements to improve them instead of using Experience Points. 5th Evolution: Carbide City #1 (plans for a #2 were mentioned with additional Archetypes) was like a breath of fresh air, it's easy to get going and yet complete and most importantly, fun enough to keep new and veteran players interested for a full campaign. I cannot recommend it enough. Finally, Limitless Adventures is running a Kickstarter for 5th Evolution: Whitechapel which is in it's final hours right now. You should check it out. By Cross Planes at November 22, 2019 Labels: Crowdfunding, DnD, Reviews Justin Ryan Isaac said... While I initially wanted full character creation rules, I really like the archetype approach. It lets you dive in quickly and doesn't drown you in options like say, Mutants and Masterminds. I also love how the different 5Evo books work together nicely. Cross Planes said... Yeah, I agree 100%. While I came up playing Champions, I don't want a supers game that is also a math game. I realized I've ended up using Archetypes in M&M for all of it's editions. What I'm Thankful for...

Uploaded by BritIronRebel, who doesn't give a year, but probably early '70's. Tags: Frank Zappa Doctor Who? Categories: Stream of Consciousness, TV Spoilers for Doctor Who episodes new and old follow. So Steven Moffat's been teasing the revelation of the Doctor's real name since 2008's Silence in the Library , and built it up as his major arc last year. I figured this year was a break from that plotline and we'd probably get an answer next season -- but the BBC's just announced this season's finale will be titled The Name of the Doctor . So while there may be fallout next season, it looks like the big answer is coming in just three weeks. So I've got some thoughts. What could the Doctor's name be? Some possibilities: It's a fakeout. We never hear his name. Even if it's spoken, it's spoken offscreen, or whispered so we can't hear it, like in Silence . This strikes me as unlikely. Moffat's been building to this for five years. He's big on misdirection and on things not meaning exactly what you think they do -- but when he teases something big, he eventually delivers on it. Even if it is exactly what it appears, like last season when we found out that yes in fact River Song is the Doctor's wife, which we'd pretty much all assumed since Silence in the Library anyway. It's an homage. To somebody real. Like in Human Nature when he says his parents are named Sydney and Verity. Of course, if his name is a reference to a real-life person, then the name itself won't have any in-universe significance -- see #4, below. It's a name we've already heard. It's a name we've heard before, either on the new series or the original, either a famous Time Lord, some other august personage, or hell, maybe he was faking it that very first time he said "Doctor Who?" and his name really is Foreman. It's a name that's been referenced that we don't even know is somebody's name -- like when we heard "Silence will fall" and only later learned that "Silence" was the name of an evil alien religious cult. The Doctor's name could be hidden in any of the catchphrases we've been hearing -- The Fields of Trenzalore, The Circle Must Be Broken, etc. It's just some random name. It's not the Doctor's name that's actually important, it's his identity. This is a possibility -- a little Moffat-y misdirection -- but I doubt his name will be selected completely at random. If he goes this route I expect it'll be a combination of this and #2. #3 seems the likeliest option to me. There have been hints that Moffat intends to revive what's been called the Cartmel Masterplan: The overall plan for Cartmel was to reveal that the Doctor was some form of a reincarnation of The Other, a mysterious figure from Gallifrey's past who helped form the Time Lords' society and perfect the time travel technology of the Time Lords. Of course, "the Other" is no more a name than "the Doctor". It might tell us his significance, but it's not his name. There's another problem: Moffat's view of the Doctor as a wanderer who stole a TARDIS when he was young seems incompatible with the idea that he's one of the three founding Time Lords. That is, short of some wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey paradox where the Doctor is born in an already-established Time Lord society, steals a TARDIS, and at some point travels back in time to become one of the three founding Time Lords. Which would be a workable plot, but might also tell us too much about the Doctor. Moffat, like most of the Who showrunners, thinks that a little bit of the origin story goes a long way. (For example, Neil Gaiman tells us that Moffat asked him to pare down his description of the Corsair in The Doctor's Wife because the original pitch implied that the Doctor patterend himself after the Corsair -- Moffat's response: "Answers too many question that should be left alone. He's the Doctor, he does what he does for reasons too vast and terrible to relate.") Obviously whatever the Doctor's name is must work toward some big reveal that leaves its mark on his origin story -- but it also needs to walk a fine line that doesn't tell us too much about where he came from and why he does what he does. Indeed, in some ways it's better that the original series was canceled before Cartmel could spell everything out -- this way we got hints, in serials like Remembrance of the Daleks , that the Doctor was more than he seemed, but he still got to maintain his mystery. If all goes according to plan, I'll have some future posts coming up dealing with Time Lord names and what we actually know about the Doctor's origins.

__label__cc	0.694216	0.305784	Countdown to free agency Tomorrow is Free Agency Day. It's also a holiday in Canada, which means two things: I'll be online all day I'll be drinking heavily starting at noon I'll be updating DGB whenever something interesting happens... which, given Brian Burke's track record, means this is my last post for the week. But check back anyways, just in case. And don't forget to follow me on twitter. My twitter feed has all the high quality you've come to expect from the blog, except more frequent, shorter, and without the high quality. (If you're not already following DGB, PPP, Chemmy and the rest of the barilkosphere on twitter, you missed out on an epic afternoon. Once news of the Gomez trade broke, Leaf Nation quickly formed a kick circle around Bob Gainey and didn't let up for a solid hour. Good times. Look for an encore tonight if the Senators trade Dany Heatley for Dustin Penner.) A few quick thoughts on free agency: I'm solidly pro-Sedin, if and only if Burke can sign them to deal of reasonable length. If Burke can get the twins to signs five or six year deals worth, say, $35M or so each, I'm happy. The Leafs need front line talent and only have one elite forward prospect. The Sedins give you two-thirds of a top line and push everyone else down to more suitable roles. Plus, as we all know, Swedish players never let you down. Do not sign Chris Neil. He's broken down, has a grossly over-inflated sense of himself, and is a cruiserweight at best. Yes, it's admirable to see a relatively little guy fight giants like Laraque and Brashear. But he gets fed every time, and we can find cheaper guys to clog up the fourth line and lose fights twice a month. On the other hand, I want Colton Orr's signature on a contract at 12:01. The Leafs need an enforcer -- not a grinder, not a plugger, not a plumber, but an honest-to-god alpha dog. Chris Neil isn't the answer. Andrew "Golf Swing" Peters definitely isn't the answer. Colton Orr is. Sign him tomorrow. Then give him Finger's #4, just to piss off Bruins ans. Seriously, do not sign Chris Neil. Mike Cammalleri, Mike Komisarek and François Beauchemin are all fine players if you can get them at a reasonable price, which you won't. So don't get your hopes up. I will go on a crime spree if they sign Chris Neil. There's a very sick part of me that wants the Leafs to sign Todd Bertuzzi, just for the entertainment value. He would immediately cause Damien Cox's head to explode. He'd instantly become the most hated player in NHL history. And he'd make Dominic Moore cry tears of blood. DUR-NO! DUR-NO! DUR-NO! A reminder of the three immutable laws of NHL free agency: Everybody will get way more money than anyone expects them to get. Everyone. Most of the big names will sign with teams that they've never even been linked to. Do not sign Chris Neil Finally, a sincere thanks to DGB readers. Thanks to a late surge, this will be the fifth straight month of record traffic. That's pretty impressive considering how little is going on in Leafland every spring. So thanks to everyone who visits. Thanks to everyone who subscribes, follows, or bookmarks. And special thanks to everyone who posts DGB content and links on various forums and sites around the world. (And that includes a special hello to my friends in Finland in the NHL-huumoria thread at Jatkoaika.com. Kiitos! I've almost forgiven your country for Vesa Toskala.) Labels: barilkosphere, beauchemin, bertuzzi, burke, cammalleri, colton orr, gainey, gomez, heatley, komisarek, neil, penner, sedins, twitter The Cycle June 30, 2009 at 10:12 PM Speaking from the Ranger fans perspective, you would love Colton Orr, maybe more than Belak. Of course, us Ranger fans would of resigned Orr the day after the season ended once Brashear knocked out Blair Betts, destroying our penalty kill in the process with Orr sitting out the game. Just wait til you play the Flyers and Orr beats the living hell out of Riley Cote. Gary "Wife Stealer" Leeman June 30, 2009 at 10:42 PM I believe Glen Sather has Chris Neil and all 3 of the Hanson brothers on Line 2. And Dean Youngblood is on Line 1. Yes, we Ranger fans are a cynical bunch. Down Goes Brown June 30, 2009 at 10:55 PM @Cycle... Belak is the reason Orr's been on my radar for years. It took Wade a year to get his game back after Orr caved his nose in. Pal Hal Pall June 30, 2009 at 10:57 PM I'm not convinced that the Leafs need an 'enforcer'. That being said, Orr actually isn't a bad player, so I'd take him. But if, say, the boogy man were available, I wouldn't want him around. Oh, and Burke, if you're reading, and you probably are since everyone reads DGB, stay away from the Sedins. I don't see winning with those two. @Pal Hal... I doubt Burke reads this. But his lawyers do, and maybe they'll pass the message on. Someone's getting paid $300/hour to read this? Oh, and thanks for making me 'the', I always thought I'd make a strong the. lordosis June 30, 2009 at 11:11 PM So, how do you feel about Chris Neil? SinghWarrior June 30, 2009 at 11:18 PM Why sign the Sedins, even at an okay price?? I don't think they will ever win a cup. My dream day: 1. Sign Francois B. for a reasonable price. 2. Trade Kaberle. 3. Sign Colton Orr. 4. Pray to God that Montreal trades for Scott Gomez's unreal contract, and give up their best defensive prospect at the same time .. oh wait!! God I love Canada Day. @SinghWarrior... I don't think they will ever win a cup. Sounds like a perfect fit. Good point, I remember that fight. In a few days, all we will have are the memories of him knocking out guys in one punch like Clarkson and Fedoruk. Funny if he did sign there since he's arguably our favorite fighter since Domi and of course they let him go way too early. if burke's lawyers do read this, they likely will sign Niel just to piss you off. Keith July 1, 2009 at 12:01 AM My mistake, Mike Rupp got knocked out by Orr on one punch, not Clarkson. Colton Orr is. Sign him tomorrow. Then give him Finger's #4, just to piss off Bruins fans. I honestly can't decide whether that would cause Grapes to turn on the Leafs, or weep with joy. My Canada Day will be complete if Heatley okays a trade to Edmonton tomorrow only for the Oilers to pull a player out of the deal since they'll have all the leverage. How amazing would that be? Tony July 1, 2009 at 12:34 AM Bert was at the Jays game in town today, make with that what you want... would not be shocked to see Bert's last hurrah for the Leafs (god knows we've been the last stop for several others) LeafFanInVan July 1, 2009 at 12:49 AM DGB - I'm unclear on your feelings on Neil. Sign him you say? Preposterous! In seriousness, I really hope the fact Hollweg didn't get an offer sheet is not because Neil is being considered. Scary. Sedins and Orr = very yes! kidkawartha July 1, 2009 at 2:22 AM Well, it's official- DGB is now a world-wide sensation. And how privileged we are to have been in on the ground floor, as it were. How do you say "you're the shiz-nit" in Finnish? Louie July 1, 2009 at 3:46 AM DURNO! DURNO! DURNO! DURNO! Downie you should probably give a stick-tap to Wysh at Puck Daddy. The 100th most influential man in hockey features you fairly regularily. Of course, there is no secret why he regularily features you; the content is killer. Speaking of killers, ever since Orr became the 223982nd person to rearrange Fedoruk's face, he was in my good books. He also got jumped by Wade (and Wade is usually always fair) off a face-off at the ACC a couple years ago and hung in there and came back and won the fight. He would be a great 4th line addition. Penan Faxi July 1, 2009 at 6:57 AM @kidkawartha that won't translate directly but I would probably use our very own village idiots, The Dudesons' catch phrase "jätkä on eläin!". If they signed Neil it would be hard for me to remain a Leaf fan. Pseudonym July 1, 2009 at 8:32 AM 1 Sign Colton Orr 2. Sign Sami Paulsson 3. Trade Jason Blake to Montreal 4. Sign Chris Neal as a linemate for Hollweg on the Marlies 5. Oh I forgot, sign the Sedins lb71 July 1, 2009 at 8:49 AM Why do you have to wait until noon to start drinking? Nothing like beer and cherrios first thing in the morning. Stephen July 1, 2009 at 11:18 AM 1) Agree with you on Neil 2) disagree strongly on Bertuzzi...definition of broken down. I would re sign Dom Moore in a second for whatever price Bertuzzi would command. I like Burke but that would change at if Bertuzzi comes to Toronto. 3) Why the obsession with all the ex Canuck players, Sedin's, Ohland (who I DO like) abd even the aforementioned cement head Bertuzzi? 4) Sedins....can't argue with the stats. 2 point a game players. I particularly like your point about what it does to the rest of the lineup, bump them to more appropriate places. 5) Cammaleri is defintiely worth getting. Young enough to be around for the full upswing. 6) Final question of the Sedin's. Do they fit Wilson's coaching style and will they listen? 7) Get Dom Moore back just for locker room culture reasons, assuming moore moderates his salary demands....he flourished under Wilson. aaron July 1, 2009 at 1:11 PM * I'll be online all day * I'll be drinking heavily starting at noon So... normal schedule, then?

__label__cc	0.655124	0.344876	BUSINESS \| Kathimerini English Edition Ethnarhou Makariou Avenue & 2, Falireos Street BUSINESS 15.05.2016 Greece is the champion in SME taxation THANOS TSIROS TAGS: Taxation, Economy Greece currently ranks as the European Union country with the highest taxation on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), according to a survey by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which puts it beside Germany at the top spot of its Europe list. While Germany has a slightly higher income tax rate (29.8 percent) on SMEs than the one imposed by the Greek government a few days ago (29 percent), Germany is actually cheaper for SMEs. The reason is that there is no such thing in Germany as a separate business tax, which costs Greek companies 1,000 euros per year regardless of whether they are making profits or losses. Other than comparing tax rates, the OECD data point to an apparent indifference in Greece for SME activity or employment via the tax system. France, for example, charges a high rate on bigger enterprises (31.33 percent) but has a particularly low rate for SMEs at 15 percent, one of the smallest in Europe.

The workshop, sponsored by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), will focus on trends and opportunities in biomass. Jennings will join a panel that includes representatives of EERC, the Harris Group Inc., and Argonne National Laboratory. For more information about the event, visit www.undeerc.org/biomass10/. ACE member Ron Fagen responds to misleading editorial by Minnesota group Last month, a group called Minnesota 2020 published an op-ed declaring “the ethanol boom is over,” citing several inaccurate and out-of-context quotes from ACE member Ron Fagen, President & CEO of Fagen, Inc. of Granite Falls, Minnesota. He has written an op-ed in response to the article and asked that all ACE members have a chance to see it. You can read Fagen’s op-ed on ACE’s blog at www.ethanol.typepad.com.

Golden Grain Energy interviewed on Gulf oil spill Last month, ACE member Walt Wendland, President and CEO of Golden Grain Energy, was interviewed by KIMT-TV of Mason City, Iowa on the impact of the Gulf oil spill and the importance of moving toward renewable alternatives. “American agriculture and ethanol production in the U.S. has become far more efficient and less costly than oil, and oil production in the U.S. has become far costlier and riskier proposition,” Wendland said. “I’ve always said if we’re serious about reducing our dependence on foreign oil, we’re not going to do it with 10 percent ethanol,” he added. ACE members encouraged to meet with Congressional delegations during August recess The August Congressional recess is an ideal time for ethanol advocates to meet with their delegations while they’re in the home state or district. Congress is scheduled to be on recess from August 9 through September 4. The American Coalition for Ethanol is encouraging all its members to call your local Congressional offices and schedule meetings during the month of August to discuss VEETC, fuel choice legislation, and E15. Please contact the ACE office if you need any assistance. Lamberty promotes blender pumps, South Dakota grant funding Throughout April and May, ACE Vice President/Market Development Ron Lamberty worked with petroleum marketers to explain the benefits of installing blender pumps. Seminars were held in April in cities across South Dakota to encourage station owners to apply for the state’s $1 million infrastructure grant program. Lamberty, along with pump company and state government representatives, helped answer questions at the seminars about the program which will provide up to $10,000 per blender pump dispenser to qualified applicants. Applications were accepted through May 28, and the new blender pumps will be installed throughout the remainder of 2010. Brian Jennings will be a featured speaker at the Minnesota Agriculture Leadership Conference to be held August 8-11 near Brainerd. He will address the importance of ethanol tax credits, the secondary tariff, and the jobs created by the ethanol industry. VEETC and other pending legislation will be key discussion points. The conference agenda will focus on the state of the markets, biofuel issues, and the 2008 and 2012 farm bills.

H. Anal, Department of Chemistry, North Eastern Hill University, Shillong-22, India Lalthazuala Rokhum. Department of Chemistry, National Institute of Technology Silchar, Silchar-10, India Journal Name: Current Applied Polymer Science Volume 1 , Issue 1 , 2017 DOI : 10.2174/2452271601666170102144011 Graphical Abstract: Background: In recent years, the fast-growing development of polymer supported reagents has led to the synthesis of a variety of reagents on solid support. Some of the major advantages of using such reagents are that they are less hygroscopic, easy to recover, and can be recycled. Objective: The main objective of this study is to develop a mild and simple procedure for iodination of alcohols to their corresponding iodides using polymer supported triphenylphosphine-methylacrylate (PSTTP-MA) complex as catalyst at room temperature. Method: Polymer supported triphenylphosphine (3 mmol/g; 0.4 mmol, 40 mol%) and methylacrylate (0.034g, 40 mol%) in anhydrous dichloromethane (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 minutes resulting in the in situ formation of triphenylphosphine-methylacrylate complex. To it was then added iodine (1.5 mmol) and polymer supported triphenylphosphine (1.6 mmol) and the solution was stirred for 5 mins. Finally, alcohol (1 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at the same temperature. After complete conversion of the alcohol, the reaction mixture was filtered and washed with dichloromethane. The filtrate was then quenched with an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate. The organic layer was separated, dried, filtered and concentrated to get the desired iodide product. Results: Primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols were smoothly converted into their iodides at room temperature. Conclusion: Our protocol is high selectivity in favour of benzylic and less substituted alcohols. Use of polymer supported reagents greatly simplifies product isolation requiring only simple filtration and solvent removal in most cases. Keywords: Bromination, benzylic alcohols, catalysis, iodination, recyclability, solid phase synthesis, selectivity.

__label__cc	0.731241	0.268759	Tomatoes (Ep.4) EPISODE (23:56) Commercial tomato production in North America has strategically evolved to accommodate our appetite for fresh tomatoes 365 days a year. What are the impacts of these demands and how might we foster more personal relationships with this iconic food? Featuring Chef Mark Picone of the Canadian Food and Wine Institute at Niagara College. Slow Roasted Heirloom Tomato and Garlic Soup Heirloom Tomato Ketchup Heirloom Tomato Conserve Watermelon and Heirloom Tomato Salad The Life of a Processing Tomato (4:11) Of all the tomatoes grown in North America, almost 90% of them are processing tomatoes – destined to become sauce, paste, ketchup, juice, soup and salsa. In the United States 96% of processing tomatoes are grown in California and Morning Star is one company which handles about 40% of the California crop. Deconstructing Dinner follows a processing tomato from field to plate. Inside a Modern Greenhouse (4:52) On the shelves of the supermarket, it’s becoming increasingly common to find produce grown inside greenhouses which utilize hydroponic technologies. This sector of the food system extends the harvest season and responds to the demands of eaters who wish to eat certain foods year-round. Deconstructing Dinner visits one of the largest of these facilities in North America. The Problem With Redundant Trade (4:33) Every day, food is transported across the country and across borders, criss-crossing the entire continent. But over time, this movement of food has evolved to a point where every day trucks with the very same food are passing each other going opposite directions. This, is called redundant trade and using greenhouse tomatoes as an example, Rod MacRae of York University in Toronto, describes this common occurrence. In the Kitchen: Ketchup with Chef Mark Picone (3:44) Ketchup is the quintessential condiment found in most home refrigerators and restaurants. Imagine the impact on the food system if we all made our own! Chef Mark Picone and students at Niagara College demonstrate just how easy it is to take advantage of the season’s bounty and prepare a full year’s supply of ketchup. In the Kitchen: Roasted Tomato Soup with Chef Mark Picone (5:04) Preparing homemade soup is an excellent way to enjoy a local harvest. Soups are also easily preserved through canning or freezing and Chef Mark Picone shares a household favorite. The Life of a California Field Tomato (4:48) Tomatoes grown in North America come from one of three primary sectors (Greenhouse, Processing and Field). Deconstructing Dinner visits a field tomato supplier in California to learn about the life of a field tomato – from farm to plate. In The Kitchen: Canning Tomatoes with Chef Mark Picone (3:25) In an effort to eat seasonally and preserve the bounty and flavour of a local heirloom tomato harvest, Niagara College chef-instructor Mark Picone preserves tomatoes in their own juice for the coming year and teaches young chefs the art of canning. Restaurant Profile: Niagara College and Benchmark Restaurant (4:42) Chefs play an important role in helping shape food systems abroad. For many chefs, that role is established early on at one of the many culinary schools found across North America. The Canadian Food & Wine Institute at Niagara College is an example of one school where students are encouraged to question the origins of the ingredients they use.

Monday, November 26, 2012 01:37 PM (Last updated on Monday, November 26, 2012 02:53 PM) Gifs from Bonniegrrl: two sets of Empire Strikes Back gifs, Metropolis, The Young Ones, Sir Giles of Buffy, and... yeah, I don't know what's going on here. Speaking of gifs, here are some unspeakably cute ones of a wombat and a cat and his boy. A tiny Santa hedgehog. Eeee! Awesome photo of awesome dogs. I deeply love this hateful cat. Scientists are working on a new RNA-based vaccine that could wipe out the flu forever. Amazing stuff! The Max Fleischer Superman cartoons are pretty fantastic, and you can now watch them all on YouTube, legally and everything! More cuteness for you, straight from the source (Cute Overload). Partly as research for my novel, and partly just because I like them, I've been reading tons of fairy tales and folk tales lately. So I was kind of excited to see that a big-screen, Hollywood adaptation of Jack the Giant Slayer was in the works. But I should have figured that in the process of creating such a thing, they would have added all the typical big-screen, Hollywood trappings to the story. Corny catch-phrases, lame love story, overwhelmingly huge action set pieces, bombastic rhyming prophecies, tons of special effects. Oy. This trailer is just gross. Homemade cardboard Star Destroyer! I particularly love the second piece in this Super Punch art roundup. I really love the sweet and funny Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey Brown, so it's pretty cool that he's doing a sequel called Vader's Little Princess. There are even holiday-themed downloads! I never got into Lemony Snicket, but I've heard great things, and we do have a book we really like written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, so I'm curious about this book that the two of them are collaborating on, The Dark. I'm fascinated by devices like this for some reason: a lamp that tells you the weather by recreating it inside your house. (No, it will not actually make it rain.) Andrew W.K. has been named the U.S. cultural ambassador to Bahrain. FYI. So they will be partying hard there soon, I assume. UPDATE: Somebody somewhere apparently realized this was kind of a crazy idea and cancelled the whole thing. The world is a sadder place now. Ironically, the most frustrating thing about watching this collection of the craziest fake ads from movies is all the real ads stuck in between. Holy crap, you guys. NASA is working on a faster-than-light warp drive. How to make a fairy room in your house. Awesome idea.

McDonalds. What else are you gonna do? Cook? McDonalds. Can you actually afford anything better? We didn't think so. What else is here? Sbarros? Ugh. Guess you're going to McDonalds! Life is naught but soul-crushing emptiness and despair. So what the fuck? Might as well go to McDonalds. Tagged (?): Advertising (Not), Comedy (Not), Fast food (Not), Food (Not) Wednesday, September 5, 2012 03:05 PM (Last updated on Thursday, September 6, 2012 08:49 AM) Stop, McDonalds. Just Stop. The more recent McDonalds advertising seems to be trying to convince us that it is a hip, cool restaurant where hip, cool, young people come to smile prettily at each other, and to enjoy healthy treats like salads, oatmeal, fruit smoothies, and the like. Does anybody actually believe this about McDonalds, besides perhaps isolated tribesmen who have never seen or heard about the place before? McDonalds is where you go when you are desperate and you need some greasy garbage that you can stuff down your food hole RIGHT NOW, to reward yourself for being good, punish yourself for being awful, or just because there are literally no other options. Embrace what you are, McDonalds! Don't try to be something else. You fill an important niche! An important, horrible, desperate niche. UPDATE: I thought it only right I compose a follow-up post containing some alternative, honest McDonalds ads.

Nicolas Delort does some pretty amazing illustrations, including some inspired by Harry Potter. (Via) Basic Instructions covers both sides of the old Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate. It's technically a commercial for a car, but this amazing video also features slow-motion footage of said car crashing through glass and breaking giant water balloons, so... Apparently Ryan Reynolds is going to be the new Highlander. Hmm. This illustration roundup features a catbus!!! Auto-post! The guy who made that pretty amazing Super Mario Crossover online game is Kickstarting something similar involving original characters. The new Penny Arcade game sounds good! I need to play those at some point... Speaking of Penny Arcade, they have a comic and a news post that do a great job explaining why the Diablo 3 real money auction house makes no damn sense. This is a pretty wonderful story.Pretty great Joust illustration. The UK trailer for Looper! The director himself warns that it's a bit spoilery, though, so consider carefully before watching.

Thought I'd try it again, just to see how it goes. Enjoy! Some fun recent posters on Reelizer: My Neighbor Totoro, Blade Runner, and Seven Samurai. Speaking of Blade Runner and My Neighbor Totoro... And here's another amusing mashup. Make your own chocolate D&D dice. (Via) This bootleg copy of the Dark Knight Rises trailer is crazy exciting. (UPDATE: Here's the official trailer.) A holiday-themed Wondermark! And here's one that's far too accurate to my experience. Dude! Officially licensed Lord of the Rings LEGO toys?? There goes all my money. Commercials are now legally obligated to not be so damn loud, which makes the fist-waving old man inside me very happy. The house banners from A Song of Ice and Fire, redone in super-cute, chibi style. The trailer for Expendables 2. Just a teaser, really, but how about that cast! I was surprised that Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol was getting such good reviews until I remembered it's directed by Pixar genius Brad Bird. Yeah, I might have to see that. The Avengers trailer! You think you've seen it already, but have you seen this version?? It has extra scenes, and it's in German! So even though Ridley Scott's Prometheus is essentially a prequel to his Alien film, it will not actually feature the alien, or xenomorph, at all. Huh. Okay then.

"George Lucas offers a compelling argument against George Lucas." Beards and Bellies started updating again! A man attempted and failed to rob a 7-11 in San Diego while wearing a Gumby costume. The best part might be the fact that the clerk had never heard of Gumby and described the costume as a green Spongebob Squarepants. Warner Bros. has come up with some unique advertising for the movie Contagion: a living billboard that grows the name of the movie out of bacteria and mold. They've finally actually started selling .xxx domains. So in case you were waiting for that to happen to start your porn site, now's the time. Super Punch highlights the art of Julian Callos, which is pretty impressive. A fellow by the name of Matt Rhodes draws his own, cartoony version of Lord of the Rings. His accompanying comments are interesting and bittersweet. (Via) The Legend of Zelda album. Google became even huger today by buying Zagat. The Diablo III closed beta has begun. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Loving this small sampling of the art of Chris Foss. I remember getting a book of spaceship art out of the library when I was a kid, copying the drawings and coming up with my own, and either Foss or somebody imitating him must have drawn that book, because this looks very familiar.

Wizard World was in town recently - right near where I work, in fact - but I still didn't make it over there, because it's super expensive and I just would have wanted to buy everything I saw. Also, kinda busy here. Get off my case! Ahem. Anyway, I can simulate a visit to Wizard World by clicking here and looking at these pictures! And so can you! Have I posted about Yog-Blogsoth yet?

The Academy is changing the Best Picture nomination process yet again so that there can now be anywhere from 5 to 10 nominees each year, depending on how many movies receive first place votes on 5 percent of total ballots cast. Wha? Why don't we just go back to 5, guys? That was working fine for a long time. Check out Sam Bosma's site - he's been doing sketches of characters from the Song of Ice and Fire books lately. This ad for the new Legend of Zelda game featuring Robin Williams and his daughter Zelda (who apparently was actually named after the princess) is pretty darn cute. A Pontiac built with an entirely transparent, Plexiglass exterior for the 1939 New York World's Fair is going up for auction and has been appraised at a price between $275,000 and $475,000. Click through for some awesome pictures. I'm mostly over impressive replicas of things in cake form, but this Millennium Falcon cake has working lights!! The Wolverine has a new director and it is James "Not Darren Aronofsky" Mangold. Hmm. I've seen a handful of Mangold's films. Of those, Cop Land was the only really good one. Identity and 3:10 to Yuma were both well done but had disappointing endings. So I guess we'll see! Watch the red band trailer for Attack the Block, which is a sci-fi/action/comedy featuring Nick Frost and South London hoodlums versus aliens. Fun! (Via Blastr, a site that cleverly got the movie's title wrong in its headline. Sigh.) The most bad-ass way to chop lettuce ever. The rotary mechanical smartphone. Another fun Super Punch image roundup. My favorite is the hipster Jesus sign. The whale shark thing is just horrifying. Amazing photograph of an Irish castle. In case you missed it when I posted it to Twitter, a gallery of amazing illustrations by Blade Runner concept artist Syd Mead. (Via) So what's all this Pottermore stuff about? It appears to be official, from J.K. Rowling herself, and the obvious implication is that we can expect more Harry Potter. Possibly it's just referring to an encyclopedia, which isn't all that exciting. But still... squee? Anyway, while we're talking Harry Potter, check out the latest trailer for the last movie. It is mighty exciting, and the emotional opening nearly made me break down at my desk here. I enjoyed this latest post from the mostly-quiet-lately defective yeti. Hee hee. More amusing (and not-so-safe-for-work) sketches from the mighty Kate Beaton. Did you see that Comic Twart is doing Princess Bride? Anybody want a peanut? Ooh, they've cast Bard and Smaug in The Hobbit! Benedict Cumberbatch, who made a very fine Sherlock Holmes in the recent BBC TV series, will play the part of the dragon. I'm not familiar with the dude playing Bard (Luke Evans), but he certainly looks the part.

Minnesota trades star Kevin Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers He’ll team up LeBron James, who recently rejoined the Cavs Timberwolves get the Cavs’ last two No. 1 draft picks (CNN) — Love is all LeBron needs. Or so the Cleveland Cavaliers hope. The NBA doormat-turned-upstart squad from northeastern Ohio officially got its second big jolt of excitement this offseason on Saturday, with the announcement that Kevin Love is coming its way in a trade. “Welcome to the Land @kevinlove!” James tweeted. Love, who averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 assists a game with the Minnesota Timberwolves, joins LeBron James in Cleveland. It was James’ return to the Cavaliers — the club he famously made “The Decision” to leave four years ago for the Miami Heat — that was the NBA’s biggest move, by far, since the San Antonio Spurs beat the Heat for the championship. Unlike what he’d done after joining Miami, the four-time league Most Valuable Player didn’t promise he’d bring any titles to Cleveland. Part of that may have to do with the fact he didn’t have the same supporting cast as he had in Miami, where he suited up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. But the arrival of Love — one of the top scorers and rebounders in the NBA — could change the expectations. The two newcomers join a squad that for the past few years has been led by point guard Kyrie Irving. Other holdovers include Dion Waiters and Anderson Varejao. Still, it’s not like Cleveland last few season have been successful: There’s a reason they had the No. 1 overall draft pick — which typically goes to one of the NBA’s worst team — three of the last four years. Cleveland didn’t get Love, a forward, for free. They gave up two potentially big stars, and their last two No. 1 picks, in Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett, to the Timberwolves. The Cavaliers surrendered their first-round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft to Philadelphia. The 76ers got guard Alexey Shved and forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute from Minnesota and traded veteran forward Thaddeus Young to the Timberwolves as part of the three-team swap.

__label__cc	0.535075	0.464925	Deadlift Rockstars I have played guitar since I was in high school. And as anyone who attends any of the classes I teach at Flower City CrossFit or CrossFit Webster knows, I am a huge fan of rock music. If you are as big a fan of rock music as I am, you undoubtably read lots of articles about it, follow bands/musicians on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, etc. Whenever I see images of concerts, I always get a kick out of the crazy faces that rock guitarists (in particular) make. Over the years of running CrossFit gyms, we have taken literally thousands and thousands of pictures of amazing people pushing themselves to the limit. Many times I have been stricken by a fleeting thought of how similar the faces that athletes make at the point of maximal effort are to the faces of rock guitarists mid-solo. So, this week I programmed the following workout for our CrossFit Endurance (CFE) classes: "Deadlift Rockstar" 20 Minute AMRAP: Bodyweight Deadlift static hold Run 400 meters Every time you drop the bar, run 400 meters. Oh, and the bar should be either an axle bar, or a regular barbell with fat grips on it. As usual, we were taking pictures as people were suffering through this one. The first image I saw was this one: My first thought... "I've seen rock stars make that face, just replace the barbell with a guitar and put him on stage and.... Paul becomes a Deadlift Rockstar!!!" My second thought was: "I can do that!" And so the idea for Deadlift Rockstar was born. The following gallery is a collection of some of the images I've thrown together. The members at FCCF and CrossFit Webster have been having a lot of fun with theses. I hope you enjoy them too! - Jeff Jim Sennett backing up Aerosmith! Clearly a Deadlift Rockstar! Fortunately for Rush, Paul is a Deadlift Rockstar, and can fill in for Alex Lifeson when he calls in sick. That time when Eileen Sullivan Dimon (a Deadlift Rockstar) toured with Heart. It takes a true Deadlift Rockstar like Tom to hang with Tool. I wanted to put Jordan in with some hard rock band, but somehow this Deadlift Rockstar ended up with Drake.... strange. Pop trivia: Kevin, Joe, and Nick eventually became so jealous of the Deadlift Rockstar abilities of Steve and Courtney that they eventually kicked them out of the "Jonas Family" and renamed the band the "Jonas Brothers". So we all know that Sean Rahrle and Jake Swartwout are Deadlift Rockstars, but did you know they also did side-gigs with the Red Hot Chili Peppers? True fact. Paul always dreamed of being a Rammstein front-man, but he gets so sweaty when he deadlifts, the band forced him to play drums. Alex's 400+ Deadlift definitely make him a Rockstar in his own right, but his beard only qualifies him to be a backing player with ZZ Top. Prior to a career in dentistry, Deadlift Rockstar Vince did a brief stint as the fifth Beatle. He was ultimately sacked when he kept wearing kneesleeves and Nanos in favor of Nehru jackets in concert. Sheryl Crow pretended to admire Bridget's guitar skills and vocal stylings, but secretly she envied her Rockstar Deadlifts, and eventually kicked her off the "C'mon C'mon" tour. Shredding as lead guitarist with Rob Zombie gave Alex the inspiration for many of the skull designs he would later use on his famous t-shirts. Currently, between running his apparel company, Gods-n-Gladiators, and deadlifts sessions at the gym, Alex is writing a fan fiction vampire spin-off novel based loosely on his days in the band. Sources says it will be written entirely in hashtags. At first Rockstar Deadlifter Justin seemed to fit right in as the rhythm banjoist with the Dropkick Murphys. Until one day, when the band realized that his last name was "Shultz" and not "O'Shultz"... Which finally explained why he kept breaking into "Fahren auf der Autobahn" in the middle of "Shipping off to Boston" Kara developed her serene Deadlift Rockstar style back in the 70's when she was an on-again, off-again member of Led Zeppelin. Last night, I dreamed I was on stage with Foo Fighters... It seemed so real. #deadliftrockstar	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3706
__label__wiki	0.749426	0.749426	Australian heatwave January 2014 Temperatures may hit 50 degrees on Thursday in north-west WA. Source: BoM Maximum temperatures across Australia 29 Dec 2013 to 4 Jan 2014 Australia experienced an extreme heatwave during January 2014. In early January, maximum temperatures in excess of 40C were experienced on successive days across Australia.[1][2] 1 Early January 2014 - Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales 2 Mid January 2014 - Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, ACT 3 Heat-island effect in cities increased death toll 4 Large bushfires in South Australia and Victoria 5 More very hot days at the end of January 6 Napthine government climate policies in Victoria 7 Abbott LNP government policies in Australia [edit] Early January 2014 - Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales Adelaide is predicted to be the hottest city in the world on Thursday 16 January 2014.[3] Blistering heat formed over the Nullarbor at the end of December and continues over parts of inland Australia smashed temperature records and was a "highly significant" event according to the Bureau of Meteorology. In a special climate statement released on Monday 13 January 2014, the bureau said the latest heatwave, while less extensive and prolonged than the record-breaking hot spell to start 2013, was still a remarkable event. The report comes days after the bureau confirmed that 2013 was Australia’s hottest in more than a century of records, easily beating 2005. A major feature of the [latest] heatwave was the very large margin by which some records were broken, particularly in northern New South Wales," the bureau said. At Narrabri (NSW), 47.8 degrees observed on 3 January surpassed the previous record by 3.6 degrees, the largest such margin at any Australian location with 40 or more years of data. The heatwave began on December 27 in eastern Western Australia and spread slowly north and east, setting records at 34 sites where data has been collected for at least 40 years. Most of those sites were in Queensland and northern NSW. Parts of north-western Western Australia were hit by another bout of extreme heat with bureau charts indicating regions may reach 50 degrees on Thursday. In Queensland the statewide mean temperature on January 3 shattering the previous record by "an extraordinary 0.75 degrees", the bureau said. More than 10 per cent of Queensland and almost 15 per cent of NSW had their hottest day on record. Gunnedah Research (northern NSW) broke its previous temperature record by 2.8 degrees, the largest margin between the first and second-highest readings in any of the 112 primary locations used by the bureau. During the heatwave, Roma in southern Queensland broke its record high temperature on three separate days - December 29 and 30, and on January 3. [edit] Mid January 2014 - Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, ACT Daily maximum temperature for Australia, 14 January 2014 (BOM) Massive variations in Victorian interval electricity price due to heat wave Melbourne experienced 4 successive days of over 40C during mid January 2014, including 44C on Thursday 16 January 2014. Power outages were experienced during peak power usage periods during the extreme heat.[4][5] Power generation was unable to keep up with demand during peak power usage periods and rolling brownouts (also known as "load shedding") were conducted by electricity utility companies.[6] Power failures also resulted from problems on the Power Company networks, which are struggling to cope with demand from Victorians attempting to cool down. Up to 100,000 Victorian premises could be without power during the heatwave as demand cripples the state's electricity grid.[7] Numerous power outages were also experienced due to faults. Citipower and Powercor reported 1766 outages across Victoria, including 225 in the Geelong area, 140 in Waubra, north-west of Ballarat, and 114 in St Albans. A bushfire in Perth burnt 46 homes and killed one person in Perth.[8] Numerous bushfires were started in Victoria by extensive lightning storms during the heatwave. They were were controlled and put out by the Country Fire Authority.[9] The temperature reached 43.9C in Melbourne at 3:14pm on Thursday 16 January and the forecast maximum for Friday 17 January was revised to 44C.[10] Many train and tram service in Melbourne's public transport network were cancelled or delayed. [11] Soaring temperatures have forced nearly all matches at the Australian Open tennis tournament to be suspended after the tournament referee applied the extreme heat policy at Melbourne Park. Tournament referee Wayne McEwen deemed conditions unsafe for players with temperature of 43.3C on day four of the grand slam.[12][13] Professor Neville Nicholls, a leading climate researcher from Monash University, predicted that Victoria's mortality rate was likely to jump by at least 50 per cent as the mercury climbed above 40 degrees for three days running and was forecast to reach 44 degrees on Friday.[14] Victorians were been warned to evacuate towns across the state as four out-of-control bushfires raged towards them. Emergency warnings have been issued for residents in the path of fires in the Grampians, west Gippsland, the Mallee and near the South Australian border.[15] Industry sources stated that increasing the security of Victoria's electricity supply would depend on the amount people were prepared to pay for power, Australian Energy Market Operator spokesman Joe Adamo said electricity supply was ordered to meet weekly and daily forecasts of expected demand and this week had been tight in Victoria. Under such strong demand and extreme conditions, asset failure could occur and require load shedding - turning off power.[16] However, an increase in capacity of solar power (domestic solar arrays and large scale solar) could provide increased capacity, especially on hot sunny days. [edit] Heat-island effect in cities increased death toll The Australian government's 2013 State of Australian Cities report found people living in cities could be more susceptible to the effects of heatwaves. It said the heat island was "caused by the prevalence in cities of heat-absorbing materials, such as dark-coloured pavements and roofs, concrete, urban canyons trapping hot air, and a lack of shade and green space". A sustainable cities expert, Professor Steffen Lehmann from the University of South Australia, said cities trapped and stored heat "like a baking oven".[17] "Cities don't cool down overnight any more because we have built our cities in a way that they are like a baking oven - they store and store and trap heat" he said. Of the nation's capitals, the report estimated that Melbourne had the highest annual average number of heat-related deaths, with about 200 a year. By comparison, the state's 2013 road toll was 242. The number of heat-related deaths in Melbourne is expected to more than double by 2030. During 2009's January heatwave, there were 374 more deaths statewide than would be expected for the week when comparing data over five years. The greatest number of deaths occurred in those aged 75 or older. [edit] Large bushfires in South Australia and Victoria On Friday 17 January 2014 68 fires were burning across Victoria, with firefighters battling dangerous winds and conditions that are the worst since Black Saturday. Arsonists have lit 12 of the fires. Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said the 21,000 hectare Grampians fire was so intense that it had “created its own weather”, triggering lightning and spot fires around Halls Gap. He said the Grampians fire could be seen from kilometres away and had "a 12-kilometre convection column... that is creating its own weather."[18] A southerly change reduced temperatures by around 10C during the afternoon (5pm in Melbourne) but had the effect of fanning the bushfires in a different direction. [edit] More very hot days at the end of January More heatwave conditions and elevated fire risks were forecast for Victoria at the end of January and for early February, with temperatures in some towns in the state's north-west likely to exceed 40 degrees for at least six days in a row. Weak cool changes will spare Melbourne some of the worst of the extremes but the city can still expect 39 degrees on Tuesday. Another bout of heat returns on the weekend with 36 and 39 forecast for Saturday and Sunday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.[19] The temperature reached 42C in Melbourne on 28 January 2014 and several more bushfires started in north western Victoria. Public transport was again affected with speed restrictions imposed on trains when the temperature exceeded 38C.[20] This is the first time Melbourne has ever had 5 days over 41°C in a calendar year. [edit] Napthine government climate policies in Victoria The Napthine Liberal National Party government's climate strategy in Victoria is to: scrap pollution reduction targets scrap support for installing solar make it impossible to build wind farms ignore their election commitments on energy efficiency encourage new coal mines and coal exports During climate change related heatwaves, turn off power to 10,000 Victorian homes and jeopardise their safety. [edit] Abbott LNP government policies in Australia The Abbott Liberal National Party government's climate strategy in Australia is to: scrap the carbon tax provide companies with high emissions funds to reduce their emissions, without mandating any actual emission reductions ("Direct action") support coal seam gas remove or reduce the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET), not yet confirmed.

__label__cc	0.748777	0.251223	specialises in framed modern and contemporary art by 20th century artists About Gallery 17 A series of photographs entitled Coupling In a series of photographs entitled Coupling, Chicago-based and Canadian-born photographer Laura Letinsky explores the subject of romantic (heterosexual) love by documenting moments in the intimate lives of several couples. Letinsky has been visualizing love for the last seven years, and the nearly two dozen large colour photographs exhibited in Chicago are part of a larger series of photographs titled Venus Inferred. Precedent for such a project is not hard to find, as intimach between men and women is the favoured subject of countless authors, filmmakers, songwriters and visual artists. No wonder: making love visual and therefore visible appeals to every one of us who still holds out for the possiblity of our own version of an ideal love(r). Indeed, our belief in the existence of an ideal is often what drives us to try again after failure in love, to keep waiting, searching, hoping. Over time and with experience perhaps we learn to crave the ideal a little less, and settle into a more possible, if not compromised and more ordinary, version of love. It is the discrepancy between the socially sanctioned and highly mediated version of romantic love and what actually gets played out in relationships that fuels Letinsky’s work. To capture scenes of intimacy between men and women, Letinsky enters the homes of friends, acquaintances and couples she finds through classified ads. She spends at least half a day with her subjects – young, attractive, mainly white and middle class couples – and with them, chooses an interior site to stage a moment or moments of physical (and emotional) intimacy. Most often the site is the bedroom, and here, among familiar objects like lamps, books, TVs, blankets and bureaus, lovers embrace, smoke, lie motionless and naked after sex or stand, half-dressed, staring head on at the camera. The interactive process between Letinsky and her subjects produces photographs that lie somewhere between the real and the staged, although more like cinema verite than Hollywood fiction. And, like cinema verite, her pictures show people more as they are (imperfections and all) than how they may want to appear. In fact, what is most compelling about each photograph is the willingness of the couples to participate in their own exposure. Although some of the photo-tableaux resemble movie stills they escape the banality of staged romantic encounters because the subjects’ faces and bodies register a real vulnerability. This vulnerability is not only present in the more sexually explicit photos where the couples are in close contact and body parts are in full view, but in the photos depicting couples before and after sexual encounters when the subjects are physically, if not emotionally distant. In Untitled (Amber and Dawn – Bedroom), 1994, for example, the woman stands at the corner of the bed, one arm across her waist, clutching her short robe closed, the other arm reaching diagonally across her chest to grab a tuft of shoulder-length hair. She looks toward the camera and away from her lover, as if in defiance of the code of post-sex posturing for women. Meanwhile her lover stretches out on the bed like a seedy odalisque; he is fully robed and watching her, and he holds his burning cigarette erect to the ceiling. Between them is a gulf of space filled with a hulking air-conditioner; its ugly wires trace a path of electricity across the window sill. Dawn’s protective gesture and defiant stare implicate the viewer in the scene, and thus, challenge us to face our intrusion. More than that, however, her state foregrounds the voyeuristic nature of documentary photography by reminding the viewer of the photographer’s role in witnessing and directing this scene. In the more formally structured composition, Untitled (Sarah & Jeff, Pieta), 1993-96, the woman in the couple also stares out at the camera. In this lush and almost surreal tableau, the pair sits in the center of a bed and the woman holds the man in an embrace that resembles Michelangelo’s Pieta. While her hand rubs Jeff’s exposed back, Sarah looks forward, wryly aware of the staged quality of this scene. The busy flower-pattern wallpaper, purple afghan and small brass reading lamp beside the bed lend an air of mundane and comfortable domesticity to this otherwise formal and iconic representation of intimacy.

With serious bouts of abdominal pain, gallstones are not fun to live with. Luckily, there are a number of gallstone treatment options available. But before we get into them, let’s first learn more about the disease. What are Gallstones? Gallstone disease or “cholelithiasis” happens when small cholesterol stones form in your gallbladder. Most of the time you can live with them, without experiencing any symptoms. But when one of these stones gets stuck in your bile duct, it can cause excruciating pain that can last for several hours. People often refer to gallstone pain as a gallbladder attack or “biliary colic”. Other gallstones symptoms include “cholecystitis”, where your gallbladder becomes inflamed. This often leads to ongoing abdominal pain, fever and jaundice (yellowing of your eyes and skin). Sometimes the gallstones may even be released into your pancreas, causing inflammation with increasing pain. What and where is the Gallbladder located? Your gallbladder is a tiny organ located beneath your liver on the right side of your abdomen. It’s main purpose is to store and concentrate bile from the liver. During digestion, the gallbladder releases concentrated bile through the common bile duct into your small intestine to help break down fat in the partly digested food. Why do Gallstones form? Many experts believe that what causes gallstones is a chemical imbalance in your gallbladder’s bile. Usually there is too much cholesterol in your bile, which causes it to harden and form gallstones. For some reason, gallstone attacks happen more to people over 40 years old, and to women. But you may be at risk if you: are overweight; suffer from Diabetes; are pregnant or have had several pregnancies; recently lost a lot of weight from a calorie-restricted diet. Most doctors would recommend surgery as the primary gallstones treatment. By way of keyhole surgery or a “laparoscopic cholecystectomy”, your gallbladder is removed through small cuts in your abdomen. Many people believe that the gallbladder is not an essential organ, and that once it is removed, the gallstones and symptoms will disappear. The truth is, you can still get gallstones after gallbladder surgery. Furthermore, it can lead to digestion problems, such as heartburn, acid reflux, and diarrhea. Other than surgery, there are other treatments available, such as medications, lithotripsy, going on a gallbladder diet, taking herbal remedies, or having a periodic gallbladder cleanse. However, in most cases your gallstones may return if you continue to live the same lifestyle. Gallbladder stones form in many people without them ever getting gallbladder attacks. There is only a small chance of ever experiencing gallstones pain. But in the unlikely event that you do, just remember that there are many effective treatment options available. For a safe and natural approach, have a look at the Gallstone Removal Report. It’s a complete guide to dissolving and cleansing your gallstones at home. Otherwise, feel free to browse the site. And if you’re not sure of anything, have your say in the comments section. Carol Jooste July 19, 2015 at 2:53 pm I will be admitted on the 28th July 2015 for removal of my gallbladder. I have suffered for 4 years. Heartburn, abdomal pain, and pain next to my spine. Diagnoses were made 1 month ago. It’s rather scary, as I have always been healthy. I am concerned that this could have caused a lot of damage as it’s been diagnosed after such a long period. The ultra sound also shows a very thin wand, as well as a tear in the gallbladder wand.

The gem5 Simulator System A modular platform for computer system architecture research The gem5 simulator is a modular platform for computer system architecture research, encompassing system-level architecture as well as processor microarchitecture. 2011-11-09 - Pre-compiled disk images and kernels for Android, as well as a new web-browser benchmark, BBench, are available now. Download them here: bbench. 2011-06-03 - We just finished a tutorial at ISCA 2011. The slides of the tutorial are available here. We will post a podcast of the tutorial soon assuming the recording works. 2011-05-01 - We're holding a tutorial at "ISCA 2011". Please join us in San Jose on Sunday June 5th, 2011. 2011-05-01 - The M5 and GEMS simulators are in the process of merging. As part of these changes you'll see references to gem5 (pronounced gem-five), a new website, logo, mailing lists, etc in the coming months. The current public release of the gem5 simulator is available at http://repo.gem5.org. (See the Repository page for details.) Auxiliary files are available on on our Download page. Please look at the sidebar for links to file bugs and for mailing list subscription information. Pervasive object orientation. Major simulation structures (CPUs, busses, caches, etc.) are represented as objects, both externally and internally. The gem5 configuration language allows flexible composition of these objects to describe complex simulation targets, e.g., multi-system networks where each system comprises multiple CPUs and a hierarchy of caches. The simulator's internal object orientation (using C++) provides in addition to the usual software engineering advantages. Multiple interchangeable CPU models. The gem5 simulator currently provides three interchangeable CPU objects: a simple, functional, one-CPI CPU; a detailed model of an out-of-order SMT-capable CPU; and a random memory-system tester. The first two models use a common high-level ISA description. Event-driven memory system. The gem5 simulator features a detailed, event-driven memory system including non-blocking caches and split-transaction busses. These components can be arranged flexibly, e.g., to model complex multi-level cache hierarchies. The caches support a separable coherence policy module; gem5 currently includes a simple snooping cache coherence protocol. Multiple ISA support. The gem5 simulator decouples ISA semantics from its timing CPU models, enabling effective support of multiple ISAs. The gem5 simulator currently supports the Alpha, ARM, SPARC, MIPS, POWER and x86 ISAs. See Supported Architectures for more information. Full-system capability. Alpha: The gem5 simulator models a DEC Tsunami system in sufficient detail to boot unmodified Linux 2.4/2.6, FreeBSD, or L4Ka::Pistachio. We have also booted HP/Compaq's Tru64 5.1 operating system in the past, though we no longer actively maintain that capability. ARM: The gem5 simulator can model up to four cores of a Realview ARM development board with sufficient detail to boot unmodified Linux 2.6.35+ with a simple or out-of-order CPU. SPARC: The gem5 simulator models a single core of a UltraSPARC T1 processor with sufficient detail to boot Solaris in a similar manner as the Sun T1 Architecture simulator tools (building the hypervisor with specific defines and using the HSMID virtual disk driver). x86: The gem5 simulator supports a standard PC platform Multiprocessor / multi-system capability. Thanks to gem5's object orientation, instantiation of multiple CPU objects within a system is trivial. Combined with the snooping bus-based coherence protocol supported by the caches, gem5 can model symmetric multiprocessor systems. Because a complete system is just a collection of objects (CPUs, caches, memory, etc.), multiple systems can be instantiated within a single simulation process. In conjunction with full-system modeling, this feature allows simulation of entire client-server networks. Application-only support. In application-only (non-full-system) mode, gem5 can execute a variety of architecture/OS binaries with OS emulation or SimpleScalar Alpha EIO trace files. Platforms. The gem5 simulator runs on most operating systems (Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, OpenBSD, Cygwin) and architectures (x86, x86-64, SPARC, Alpha, and PPC). However, all guest platforms aren't supported on all host platforms (most notably Alpha requires little-endian hardware). It is readily portable to other hosts and other Unix-like operating systems that are supported by GCC. Alpha binaries to run on gem5 (including the full Linux kernel) can be built on x86 systems using gcc-based cross-compilation tools, so no Alpha hardware is needed to make full use of M5. Licensing. The gem5 simulator is released under a Berkeley-style open source license. Roughly speaking, you are free to use our code however you wish, as long as you leave our copyright on it. For more details, see the LICENSE file included in the source download. Note that the portions of M5 derived from other sources are also subject to the licensing restrictions of the original sources. There are several sources of documentation for gem5: The most detailed and up-to-date documentation is on this wiki. The documentation page serves as a general table of contents for these pages. There is also a list of Frequently Asked Questions. We have archived material from various tutorials, which provide a more organized overview than the wiki, along with some "how to" information not currently found elsewhere. A higher-level overview of gem5 can be found in our article The gem5 Simulator from the May 2011 issue of ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News. If you use gem5 in your research, we would appreciate a citation to this paper in any publications you produce. The gem5 code is (somewhat sparsely) commented with doxygen comments. You can browse the doxygen-generated documentation here. A list of publications using the gem5 simulator is also available. Please append to the list if you publish a paper using gem5. The gem5 simulator has been developed with generous support from several sources, including the National Science Foundation, AMD, ARM, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, MIPS, and Sun. Individuals working on gem5 have also been supported by fellowships from Intel, Lucent, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under the following grants: CCR-0105503, CCR-0219640, CCR-0324878, EAI/CNS-0205286, and CCR-0105721.

Employee Monitoring Can Be Automated, But for Employee Assistance Best To Bring Humans Into the Loop June 14, 2016 by Lee McDonald Computers are now playing chess and Go at the grand-master level, and can play a pretty mean game of Jeopardy as well. Does this mean that the human brain has been out-matched for good? Should we welcome our new computer overlords? Despite the hype, this is hardly the case, and little reason to worry about the impending obsolescence of human beings as a species, displaced by intelligent machines. Basic employee monitoring tasks can be automated. Examples of this include verifying that pre-determined check-in schedules are being following, for example when employees are using our Fonetrac mobile app (available for Android and iPhone). Computers never sleep, so can simultaneously track employees in many time zones, waiting for the check-in window to close. If an employee misses a check-in, then an automated reminder can be sent, but if no response is received within a set time, then what? At this stage, only an organization with human resources to deploy can determine the best way to proceed. The Flip Side of Employee Monitoring is Employee Assistance Turning the situation around, employees out in the field may require a customized responses to their current situation. Consider what happens find themselves in a predicament whose solution does not fall within the pre-programmed options in a phone menu. Automated prompts to “press 1 if you have been arrested, press 2 if you have been kidnapped” are not truly helpful or comforting in an emergency situation. Globalsecur has the resources to bring human expertise into the loop when the real-world events go beyond the white-board scenarios envisioned and programmed ahead of time. The preferred approach employee monitoring combines a degree of automation, combined with the ability to have human resources step in where needed. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out to Globalsecur and have one of our friendly staff conduct an employee overseas monitoring audit and demo the available software.

Over-ruling and unwritten rules GLORY FOUR MAN TOURNAMENT FORMAT All Glory World Series matches and events are organized under the auspices of and with the consent of the Glory Sports International and are subject to the GLORY World Series regulations. To organize matches and events under the auspices of GSI, the written permission of the management of GSI is required, known as the match license. Matches and events can only be organized by GLORY as the main promoter affiliated with GSI or promoters recognized as such by GSI that have been granted a so-called promoters license by GSI or by third parties to whom incidental written consent has been granted. Those who wish to participate in matches organized by promoters recognized by GSI should be registered with GSI as fighters or contractually associated with GLORY Sports International and thus automatically registered as fighters with GSI. Upon application or contractual obligation, fighters must always provide GSI with a copy of their passport, their current address and the so-called record list and two passport photos. A distinction is made between the following categories of participants: Aspirants aged 12 up to and including 15 Juniors aged 16 up to and including 18 Seniors aged 19 up to and including 49. Contestants in matches should at all times be deemed to take part voluntarily and entirely at their own risk. A novice contestant taking part in a match for the first time may not be older than 30. Weight classes of contestants: The GLORY World Series organizes fights in the following weight classes: Featherweight: max 65 kg. max 143 lbs. Lightweight: max 70 kg. max 154 lbs. Welterweight: max 77 kg. max 170 lbs. Middleweight: max 85 kg max 187 lbs. Light Heavyweight: max 95 kg max 209 lbs. Heavyweight: over 95 kg over 209 lbs. The match is a stand-up fight subject to the following regulations fought between two equally matched fighters at the same level and in the same specified weight class. Matches take place in a square ring surrounded by four ropes interconnected by means of vertical cords or bands. The dimensions of the square of ropes should be at least 5 m x 5 m for minor events and no larger than 6 m x 6 m for large events. The ring floor should be a safe construction and covered by canvas that should not be slippery before and/or during a fight. The ring floor is raised not less than 90 centimeters (3 feet) and not more than 122 centimeters (4 feet) above the ground. The floor can have two sizes: Small size 6.40 x 6.40 square meters or large size: 7.00 x 7.00 square meters. For International competition the large size ring shall be used. The ropes should be wrapped in a soft material and may not cause damage or injury to fighters moving alongside them. The ropes shall be at least 3 centimeters (1 inch) but not more than 5 centimeters (2 inches) thick. There shall be at least 4 ropes positioned 40, 80, 120 and 150 centimeters (16, 32, 48, 60 inches) respectively above the ring floor. The ropes shall be held rigid by 2 pieces of strong cloth, equally spread, so that the rope spacing shall not vary during the contest. The opposite corners of the ring should be equipped with a black post for the contestants with two grey neutral corners in between. The white corner must always be on the left hand side of the main jury table (The Chief Official). The other two corners are the grey corners. The following items must be present in the white and black corners: A bucket for water; A bottle of drinking water; A towel; - A second or “replacement” mouth guard for the fighter that may be used if the original mouth guard lost or misplaced A round iron container for water with a stool/seat for the fighter on which he sits during the intervals between rounds A small iron container/bucket with water close to the official in charge, to quickly wash mouth guards if they fall on the ground to minimize the delay. One set of steps each at the white and black corners are provided for the competitors and the cornermen. A third set of steps shall be provided at the neutral corner near the time keeper, provided for the referee, the MC and the doctor. Contestants will wear kickboxing or other approved trunks that stop above the knee and have no pockets. In the case of male contestants the upper body is uncovered. Female contestants must wear an approved sports top (no t-shirts). Fighters are permitted to wear a short legging under the kickboxing trunks as long as the legging to not extend significantly below the hem of the trunks. Logos and/or the names of sponsors on the short or clothing from the fighter and/or his cornermen are permitted provided that prior approval has been requested from the promoter and has been granted. Writing on the bare torso is not permitted. The kickboxing trunks should be checked for possible harmful materials before the match starts. Contestants are obliged to wear mouth guards and groin guards during the fights. The mouth guards and groin guards need to have been approved by a regulation official. Contestants will wear boxing gloves of equal weight. The primary color of the gloves should be the same as the color of the contestant’s corner (white or black). If the gloves colors that both fighters will wear are the same, then the tape color that secures the gloves shall be black or white, matching the contestant’s corner. The gloves should be taped in such a way that no laces or other loose ends are visible and should bear a regulation official’s stamp of approval. The weight of the gloves is determined as follows: Featherweight max 65kg / 143 lbs. or lighter shall wear 8 oz. gloves Lightweight max 70 kg / 154 lbs. or heavier shall wear 10 oz. gloves Corner men must be dressed in clean, undamaged sportswear and shoes. Jeans and shirts other than team shirts are not allowed. Forms of matches: Single match : The match consists of three rounds of two minutes for class C matches, three rounds of three minutes for class B contests, three or five rounds of three minutes for class A matches, two or three rounds of two or three minutes for tournament matches. Class A matches may be extended by one or two extra rounds. One-minute intervals take place between the rounds. Additional rules may be applied to tournaments, the so-called ranking tournament rules as indicated in appendix A1, A2 and A3. Tournament match : The match consists of two or three rounds of two or three minutes in accordance with the tournament form, ranking tournament, Contender 4 man Tournament, World Championship 4 man Tournament, Slam or Grand Slam. One-minute intervals take place between the rounds. If after the scheduled rounds have been completed the judges’ decision is a draw, an extra “sudden-victory” round will be contested. The Tournament’s Final bout may be extended by as many as two extra rounds. In the event of an extra round or rounds, the scores of the previous rounds are cancelled out and only the score of the final round is used to determine which fighter advances, or in the case of the tournament final, which fighter is awarded the championship. Judges may not score the extra round(s) even (a draw). In the event that the extra round(s) fail for any reason to determine a winner, each judge will be provided a ballot on which to select an overall winner based on their impressions of the bout in its’ entirety. Title matches : A GLORY World Series International World Title fight always consists of five rounds of three minutes each. In exceptional cases of a draw after five rounds, the champion remains the champion. In the event of a vacant title, the title remains vacant unless a tie-breaking method is approved in advance by the presiding regulatory body. The rest interval time for title fights of five three-minute rounds is one minutes. Titles with a maximum weight can only be won or defended if both fighters are at or under the proper weight. If the champion cannot reach the right weight within two hours following the official weighing and he is obliged to defend his title, he loses his title. If the match is then won by the challenger, he is the new champion. If the reigning champion wins the match, the title becomes vacant as the champion cannot retain his title as he did not achieve the title weight. If the challenger is too heavy and the fight continues and the champion was at the required weight, then the latter will remain the champion irrespective of the result of the fight. If both fighters are too heavy and the champion is obliged to defend his title, the title is vacant after the match. The champion is obliged to defend his title at least once a year if an official title defense offer is made. If an official title defense offer is made and the champion cannot defend the title within a year, it may become vacant. Anyone challenging the champion must be among the first 5 fighters in the official GSI ranking. All disputes concerning the title which have not been included in these regulations will be presented for arbitration to the GSI arbitration committee. For reasons of safety, a fighter may never fight more than 13 three-minute rounds in one day. The rule for so-called ranking tournaments is that the total effective match time may not last longer than a total of 27 minutes on one and the same day. GSI has an official ranking that is based on the performance of a fighter. During the ranking year, ranking is determined by winning or losing so-called ranking points: Fighters can earn points through regular fights, and tournaments In a regular fight, the winner scores points equal to 25% of the loser's current points, or 35% for a (T)KO If a fighter loses to a lower-ranked opponent, he loses 25% of the points difference between him and his opponent For instance, at GLORY 49 Rotterdam, Michael Duut (491) fought Danyo Ilunga (207). Ilunga won by knockout to score 172 points (35% of 491). Duut lost 71 points (25% of 284) In tournaments, fighters score points for how far they progress. In a four-man Contender tournament, the winner scores 250 points, the runner-up 125 points, and the two semi-finalists 35 points each. To keep the rankings accurate, the points steadily expire over the next three to four years, or earlier if the fighter exceeds a cap of ten fights in that period. In addition to the match regulations, there are also ranking regulations; see appendix A4. The match can be decided in the following ways: Points Decision : Three or Five judges will evaluate the relative effectiveness of each fighter’s performance using a “10-Point-Must” system and record their scores for the fighters after each round. After the completion of the scheduled rounds the scores are tallied and the victory is awarded by the majority decision of the judging panel. Knockout : If a contestant is struck in such a way that he or she is incapable of resuming the fight within the referee’s ten-count or if the referee declares a knockout before the count of 10 in order to bring in immediate medical assistance. Technical Knockout : If a contestant shows no will to resume the fight or if the referee is of the opinion that the contestant is incapable of resuming the fight or has failed to intelligently defend themself. Technical Knockout : If in a single-bout-match or a tournament final match a contestant has been knocked down three times in one and the same round or four times in one and the same bout. If in a tournament match including the reserve bouts a fighter has been knocked down twice in one and the same round or three times in one and the same bout. Technical knockout : If a contestant is no longer capable of taking part in the fight owing to an injury not caused by a prohibited technique. Technical knockout : If the contestant does not leave his corner to take part in the fight following the sounding of the bell. Technical knockout : If the referee is of the opinion that a contestant is totally outclassed or is physically far less fit. Technical knockout : If the doctor ascertains that a contestant has sustained an injury or damage, not caused by a prohibited technique, of such a serious nature that it is no longer safe for the contestant to resume the fight (Doctor’s stoppage). Technical knockout : If a contestant or his coach/corner man gives up the fight. The contestant or his coach/corner man will indicate this to the referee or the regulatory representative assigned to his corner (The corner “throws in the towel”). Disqualification : If the opponent is disqualified for reasons warranting disqualification. Disqualification results if: A fighter deliberately uses a prohibited technique and the referee disqualifies him for that reason. A fighter uses a prohibited technique as described in Article 9 for which the referee disqualifies him. If a corner man enters the ring during the fight or touches one of the fighters during the fight. Draw : If the match is allowed to end in a draw and if, following the end of all rounds, at least two of the three judges (or three of the five judges) do not pronounce one of the fighters a winner. Draw : If both fighters go down at the same time and neither can resume the fight within the referee’s ten-count. No contest : In a single-match-bout, if a fighter cannot continue as the result of an accidental foul and the bell has not yet sounded completing the second round of a three round bout, or the third round of a five round bout. No contest : If the referee decides both fighters must be disqualified If a bout ends prematurely due to an injury resulting from a foul: If a tournament bout other than the final ends due to an accidental foul, the fighter who is in condition to continue will advance unless the referee has good reason to disqualify him. If a tournament final ends due to an accidental foul the referee may assess a penalty point, the partial round is scored by the judges and the scorecards are tallied for a technical decision (regardless of the round). If the injury from the accidental foul is not severe enough to stop the bout but then later is further aggravated by legal techniques enough to warrant an end to the match, the partial round is scored and the score cards are tabulated for the technical decision (regardless of the round). If a majority of the judges have not agreed on a winner (a draw) the tournament champion will be determined by a comparison of their combined method of victories in the Reserve, Quarter Final & Semi Final Rounds as reflected in the points system below. o Each KO or TKO will earn fighter 2 points. o Each decision will earn a fighter 1 point. o Each victory via survivor rule will earn a fighter 1⁄2 point. If this method fails to determine a winner, the tournament victory shall be awarded to the fighter according to the following prioritized criteria: The fighter who contested the most bouts on the way to the finals. The fighter who secured their victories through knockout in the shortest amount of fighting time The fighter who earned their combined victories by the greatest scoring margin (this would only apply to point decisions). The fighter who was listed highest in the official ranking prior to the tournament If a tournament bout other than the final ends due to an intentional foul, the fouling fighter will be disqualified and the winner of the first reserve match will advance. (Please refer to Appendix A2 for tournament rules regarding the Order of Substitution) If a tournament final ends due to an intentional foul, the fouled fighter will be declared the winner by DQ. If the injury from the intentional foul is not severe enough to stop the bout but then later is further aggravated by legal techniques enough to warrant an end to the match, the partial round is scored and the score cards are tabulated for the technical decision (in any round). If the fouled fighter is ahead on the score cards, the fouled fighter will be declared the winner by technical decision. If the fouling fighter is ahead (or it is even) the tournament winner will be determined by the same methods described in the section above regarding a final that results in a draw. If a single match (non-tournament bout) ends due to an injury from an accidental foul: If it occurs after the bell sounds ending the 2nd round of a three round bout, or, after the bell sounds ending the 3rd round of a five round bout, the partial round is scored and the jury go to the score cards for the technical decision. If it occurs at any earlier time, the bout will be declared a “no contest” If the injury from the accidental foul is not severe enough to stop the bout but then later it is further aggravated by legal techniques enough to warrant an end to the match, if it occurs after the bell sounds ending the 2nd round of a three round bout, or, after the bell sounds ending the 3rd round of a five round bout, the partial round is scored and the judges go to the score cards for the technical decision. If it occurs at any earlier time, the bout will be declared a “no contest”. Only in rare instances, such as subsequent to repeated warnings for the same foul, will the referee take a point or points from a fighter for an accidental foul. If a single-match (non-tournament bout) ends due to an injury from an intentional foul, the injured fighter will win by Disqualification. If the injury from the intentional foul is not severe enough to stop the bout but then later is further aggravated by legal techniques enough to warrant an end to the match, the partial round is scored and then we go to the score cards for the technical decision (the bout does not need to have progressed past a minimum number of rounds). If the fouled fighter is ahead on the score cards, the fouled fighter will be declared the winner by technical decision. If the fouling fighter is ahead or it is tied, the bout will be declared a “no contest”. An intentional foul which causes injury but does not cause disqualification requires a two point deduction. 1.2.7. When a fighter is ‘DOWN’ A fighter is deemed to be down when according to the referee’s evaluation, if as the result of a damaging attack any part of a fighter’s body other than their feet touch the floor or would have touched the floor if not for the ropes or holding the opponent. A fighter may also be considered “down” if a fighter goes down for another reason and fails to rise at the command of the referee. If the referee decides that he is DOWN, then he will indicate this by the so called DOWN call and gesture. The referee starts the DOWN count after he has sent the opponent to the farthest removed neutral corner. The opponent waits in his neutral corner until the referee gives him permission to leave this corner and resume the fight. If the opponent leaves his neutral corner before the referee gives the sign, the counting stops and only starts again once the opponent has returned to his neutral corner. During the DOWN count it is not permitted for either of the corner men to approach his fighter in any way. The referee is obliged to continue counting until the eighth count and then assesses whether the fighter is capable of resuming the fight in a responsible manner. If that is the case, the referee gives the command FIGHT. If, during the course of the count as described above, the time of the round ends, the timekeeper may not sound the gong/bell signaling the end of the round, but must wait until the referee has counted to the eighth count; if the referee gives the “fight” command, the timekeeper must immediately sound the gong/bell signaling the end of the round. If at the eighth count a fighter is incapable of resuming the match, the referee will then continue to count to ten, which means the fighter will lose on the grounds of TKO/KO. The timekeeper will then sound the gong/bell indicating that the official match time has ended (you may not be “saved by the bell” in any round). If at the eighth count the fighter in question is, for whatever reason in the opinion of the referee, not standing in the proper position to resume the fight, the referee will continue to count to ten, which means the fighter will lose the match on the grounds of a technical knockout. While the referee is counting it is not permitted for the coach or one of the seconds of the fighter who is down to throw in the towel or indicate in any way that the fight is being given up. In the exceptional case of both fighters being knocked DOWN, the referee will begin counting for both fighters at once. After the eighth count, the referee will assess whether both fighters are deemed capable of resuming the fight. If, in the opinion of the referee, this is the case, then the match can be resumed. If one of the two fighters is still deemed incapable of resuming the match after the eighth count, but his opponent is deemed capable when the referee reaches the count of ten, then the latter wins by technical knockout. If neither contestant is capable of resuming the fight at the eighth (8th) count, then the referee will complete the count to ten (10) and if neither fighter can resume than the bout will be declared a draw. The referee ensures that in counting to eight (8) or ten (10) that a full second must pass between each count. Punches – striking with the padded part of the glove to a legal target: i.e. straight punches, hooks, uppercuts, spinning back-fist (only if executed with the padded, back of the glove); Kicks – striking with the foot or lower leg to a legal target: i.e. front kicks, low kicks inside and outside the leg, middle kicks, high kicks, sidekicks, back kicks, ax kicks, spinning kicks, jumping kicks; Knees – striking with the knee to a legal target: i.e. front knee, round-house knee, jumping knee, knee on the leg inside and outside.

Biting Elbow strikes; Striking with any part of the arm or wrist above the padded portion of the glove Hitting or punching with open gloves or the palm side of the glove or jabbing an opponent’s eye with the thumb of the glove Wrestling or judo techniques, strangulation techniques or submissions; Throws, leg sweeps, foot sweeps or pushing of any kind as an effort to off-balance or down an opponent; any attempt to off-balance or down an opponent with anything other than a legal strike may be considered a foul. Grabbing, or holding for any reason other than to immediately attack with a knee strike (or strikes) is a foul; this includes holding to rest, or grabbing an opponent in order to stop them from striking. A fighter may clinch in order to immediately attack with a legal knee strike (or strikes). If the knee attack and/or counter attack by the opponent is continuous and productive the referee may allow it to continue for in his estimation up to five seconds; otherwise the fighters should disengage the clinch and continue to fight. If a fighter clinches and fails to immediately attack with a legal knee strike or completes the knee attack and does not release the clinch this may be considered “holding” which is a foul and will result in a caution, warning or penalization. Holding on to an opponent’s leg without striking; a fighter may grab an opponent’s leg in order to immediately execute a single legal strike that may be accompanied by a single step in any direction. The leg must be released immediately after that single legal strike. Pulling an opponent towards one with both arms in the lower back -Pushing or pushing off an opponent without following up with a strike or strikes Continuing to fight if someone has any other part of his body other than his feet on the ground Techniques used following the command “Break” or “Stop” by the referee Techniques used if the opponent is outside the ring or tied up in the ropes Throwing or pushing an opponent backwards over the ropes Holding on to the ring ropes for any reason; including as an asset for offense or defense or locking in an opponent.

It may occur without stopping the action of the bout. Official Warning ; In the event of repetition or a more significant violation, the referee will issue an official warning. The referee will stop the action and make it clear and obvious that that the fighter has been warned for their infraction. Penalty ; In the event of violation the referee may assess a penalty point or points. The referee will stop the action and send the fighter who will not be penalized to the farthest neutral corner. He will than indicate to the fighter and to the officials the nature of the reason for the penalty and the point(s) deduction. Disqualification ; At the referee’s discretion he may disqualify a fighter based on repetitive or severe fouling. The referee has the discretion to issue Cautions, Warnings, Penalties or Disqualification based on the nature, severity and repetition of the fouling behavior. In doing so, the referee must have thoroughly considered whether the fighter has, through his violation, damaged his opponent’s chances of victory and if the violation was deliberately committed; The minus points accrued from penalization are first deducted from the points scored before the final score is made known. Three or five judges will evaluate the relative effectiveness of each fighter’s performance according to the following prioritized criteria. Number of knockdowns. Damage inflicted on the opponent. Number of clean strikes with spectacular techniques (flying and spinning techniques, etc.) Number of clean strikes with normal techniques. Degree of Aggressiveness or Ring Generalship (whichever has greater impact on the round) It should be noted that in assessing the general impression, attack is valued higher than defense. 10-10: Not even a marginal advantage can be determined according to the established criteria 10- 9: One fighter has demonstrated an advantage in effectiveness 10- 8: One fighter has demonstrated an advantage in effectiveness by merit of a knockdown 10- 7: One fighter has demonstrated an advantage in effectiveness by merit of two knockdowns For more thorough explanation of the scoring criteria please refer to the Official GLORY Judges Manual In the event that a completed match other ends in a draw, the match is extended by one, “sudden victory” round. The scores of the previous rounds are cancelled out and only the score of the sudden victory round is used to determine which fighter earns the win. Judges may not score the extra round even (a draw). If for any reason the “sudden victory” round fails to determine the winner, the judges will be provided an additional ballot on which they will select the fighter that they feel have earned victory by merit of the match in its’ entirety. A tournament final match may be extended by a maximum of two sudden victory rounds if necessary to determine the winner before the emergency ballot would be used. Other rules apply to the so-called ranking tournaments and are specified in appendix A1, A2, A3. The referee must suspend the match if: The discrepancy between the strength or skill of the participants is so great as to make it unreasonably dangerous for the weaker fighter who is outclassed. In that case, the best fighter becomes the winner by way of intervention. (Referee Stops Contest). The referee is of the opinion that to continue the match between the two participants would be unreasonably dangerous due to exhaustion. The match between the two participants escalates into a common brawl within the ring with no regard for the regulations. No result is made known. (NO CONTEST). In his opinion continuation of the match for other reasons could be unreasonably dangerous for one of the contestants. His opponent is pronounced the winner by (Referee Stops Contest). The referee must suspend the match for medical reasons if: One or both contestants has sustained a more or less ostensibly serious injury, and if, after consulting with the ring doctor, the latter advises him to suspend the match. The ring doctor, without having first been consulted, advises him to stop the match. A contestant sustains an injury such that continuation of the match would put the sport in a negative light. In the event the referee wishes to consult the ring doctor regarding an injury sustained by one of the fighters, he will stop the match and refer the uninjured fighter to a neutral corner. He will then request the ring doctor to enter the ring in order to examine the injury. The trainer must not enter the ring. The ring doctor will advise the referee whether or not to continue the match. The referee is obliged to follow the ring doctor’s advice. If the referee decides to suspend the match, he must inform the regulatory supervisors of his decision and provide the reasons for this decision. The referee is the responsible person during the match. Overseeing the match is the exclusive task of the referee. If a match must be terminated prematurely owing to irregularities in the hall, a defect in the ring, lighting failure and other such circumstances; if the bell has already sounded ending the 2nd round of a 3 round bout or the 3rd round of a 5 round bout the judge’s score cards will be evaluated for the technical decision otherwise the bout will result in a No Contest. The referee is authorized to suspend the match if language and/or shouting can be heard from the hall that is/are in conflict with the morals, values and standards of society. In the event an injury occurs during a match not as the result of a foul; if the injury is the result of a legal strike or strikes, and the injured fighter can or should not continue, the injured fighter will lose by TKO. If the injury was accidentally self-inflicted and the fighter’s safety is at risk in that he fails to intelligently defend himself, the referee may stop the bout by TKO or treat it like a knockdown by sending the uninjured fighter to the neutral corner and administer the mandatory eight-count. If after the eight-count the referee determines that the fight can continue he will restart the bout. If the referee determines that the injured fighter cannot continue then the injured fighter will lose by TKO. The use of stimulants before or during matches is forbidden. Fighters are, if desired, obliged to take part in a doping test. Stimulants and doping include, among other things, cerebral stimulants, amphetamines and anabolic steroids. Fighters and coaches are required to only tape the hands the under supervision of an authorized official. The application of bandages and/or tape on the hands is solely intended to prevent injury. The tape is used, among other things, to keep bandages in place. Building up layers of tape to pad the knuckles is forbidden. It is permitted to tape the bandages around or on the knuckles but the thickness of the layer of tape applied must not exceed 1 mm (3 strips). Normal soft bandages bound around the wrist and hands are allowed to be taped up to around 2 cm under the knuckles. Bandages and tapes on a contestant’s hands must be examined and approved by an official. Only if these bear and official’s stamp or print may the match gloves be donned. Bandages on places other than the hands must be approved by the ring doctor and requests to this end must be submitted in advance to the head juror after the rules meeting. It is forbidden to hold any object on or in the hands or fingers and the use of inner gloves is also prohibited.

Request for consent should be submitted after the rules meeting and monitoring and initialing of all materials is always carried before the match begins. The use of Vaseline on the face is permitted to a limited extent. The referee determines whether or not this is the case. The presence of oils on fighters’ bodies is prohibited. All fighters must put their gloves on in the presence of an official who then tapes and initials them. The gloves may only be taken off when the match is over and not in the ring but only once the fighter has left the ring. All fighters must submit their medicals prior to the match date. The organization will indicate which medical tests and blood tests have to be completed. On either the day before, or the day of the match, fighters must also undergo a doctor’s check prior to the match, carried out by the ring doctor. Fighters participating in tournaments will also be examined by a ring doctor between each phase of competition. KNOCK OUT: In the event that a fighter has been knocked out by strikes to the head during his fight, GSI will ask the fighter to undertake an MRI head scan as soon as possible after the fight. The MRI scan must be presented as soon as possible to GSI. The fighter will not be given his next fight by GSI until GSI has possession of the MRI scan and can see that the fighter is fit to compete. No exceptions will be made for this rule. Matchmakers are instructed to disregard any fighter who has not submitted MRI scan post-knockout. The weight of all fighters is monitored on the day prior to the match. Fighters are obliged to be at their agreed weight. If a fighter has excess weight, he will be given the assignment to achieve the proper, agreed weight within a time limit established by the presiding regulatory body or state athletic commission. If he fails to achieve the agreed weight, then he will be penalized according to the regulations established by the state athletic commission which may include fines, disqualifications or other measures. Each participant may be supported by a trainer/coach and two seconds. Only one second is allowed to administer care in the ring inside the ropes. In total, the fighter may be assisted by three corner men. The names of these three corner men must be submitted during the licensing process. The trainer, seconds and the contestants must be present at least two hours before the matches start, and for the weighing in and medical examination. The trainer must ensure that a contestant is entirely kitted out in match attire, is wearing the mandatory mouth guard and groin guard and the permitted boxing gloves. The trainer and seconds are forbidden from entering the ring during the match. The ring may only be entered on the instructions of the referee and in the rest intervals of the match. By means of notifying the regulatory official in their corner or throwing the towel or sponge into the ring, the trainer can prematurely end his contestant’s participation in the match. When the signal “seconds out” is given by the timekeeper or announcer before the beginning of a round, the trainer and seconds must immediately leave the ring and not enter it before the end of the round has been announced. The trainer and the seconds must ensure the timely positioning and removal of their contestant’s chair. It is strictly forbidden to deform or break the gloves in any way. Hitting the ring mat as a gesture of encouragement is forbidden. Throwing refreshing substances such as water and other objects at contestants is also forbidden.

In the event of persistent violation, they may be removed. The referee also has the option of issuing a caution, warning or penalty, or to disqualify the contestant whose trainer is in violation. The trainers and seconds must be dressed in sportswear that is sportsmanlike, clean and undamaged. During the match the trainers and seconds must sit on the designated seats in the designated area. The head coach is also responsible for the conduct of his seconds. If the referee wishes to consult with the ring doctor during the match owing to an injury and requests the ring doctor to enter the ring for that purpose, the relevant trainer or second may not accompany the doctor into the ring. Trainers or seconds are prohibited from entering the ring in such cases. Trainers and seconds are prohibited from approaching the officials during the matches or to protest against a decision made by the referee or match management. All Glory events are independently regulated. As such, any protests must be directed to the presiding regulatory body supervising the event and be submitted according to their rules and regulations. During the entrance/walkout of the fighter to the ring, no corner man is allowed to accompany him. The corner men will be escorted to the ring by production and or regulatory staff. For tournaments other than ranking tournaments, one or two additional matches may be added to ensure a fighter is on standby for the tournament if, owing to circumstances, one of the final eight qualified fighters is unable to participate further in the final tournament. The additional match or matches will at any rate be fought before the final tournament matches. For tournaments other than ranking tournaments, the following rules apply regarding the order of the substitution options if a fighter in the qualifying round who would have advanced to the next round in compliance with the regulations is unable to continue participating owing to circumstances: The fighter’s opponent who is entitled to proceed further unless this right is withdrawn based on convincing reasons. The winner of the first reserve match. The winner of the second reserve match. The loser of the first reserve match. The loser of the second reserve match. If only one reserve match was held, the right of substitution falls to the loser of this reserve match if the winner waives this right. If circumstances prevent having a reserve match contested, the tournament may proceed with a designated “alternate fighter” who may earn placement into the tournament at position “B” listed above in place of the winner of the reserve match. For the ranking tournaments please see the ranking tournament rules in appendix A1, A2 and A3. Each event is led and supported by at least two referees. One enters the ring for each bout. Referee commands: FIGHT – STOP – BREAK The command “break” is used by the referee to interrupt an action of the fighters and to separate the fighters after which they must take a step backwards. The referee steps in between both fighters. As soon as he steps back the fighters resume the fight with or without the instruction “fight”. The command “stop” is used by the referee in order to stop the fight, at the end of a round or prior to a caution or public warning. The referee begins or resumes the fight with the command “fight”. Judges Jury: The matches are adjudicated by a minimum of three and a maximum of five judges. The jury members are authorized to award points and submit an assessment for each round of a match. Ringside Officials: The ring officials are responsible for ensuring circumstances in, around and outside the ring are in accordance with the rules as well as supervising the corner men. There must be a minimum of two and a maximum of four ring officials. The ring officials accompany the fighters to the ring check prior to the event. Ring doctor: A doctor must be present at all times at matches under the auspices of GSI. The ring doctor can take measures he considers necessary from a medical viewpoint before and during the matches or have these carried out on his behalf. The measures prescribed by the ring doctor are set out in the match report and the ring doctor also communicates his findings to the incumbent referee. Before the start of the match, the doctor must verify that no changes have occurred to any contestant since the time of the annual, mandatory medical examination which would make participation irresponsible. During the match or the intervals between the bouts, the ring doctor is obliged at the request of the referee and/or trainer to examine any wounds or the seriousness of a fighter’s injury and, if necessary, to advise the referee and/or trainer to suspend the match. Only the referee may make such a request during the match. The advice given is binding. If the referee wishes to hear the ring doctor’s advice with regard to the seriousness of a fighter’s injury, he stops the match and requests the ring doctor to examine the fighter. Only the ring doctor enters the ring during this examination. The trainer is forbidden from accompanying the ring doctor. Only the ring doctor and the referee are present during this examination. Where applicable, the ring doctor will set out a proposal with respect to the duration of an appearance ban for a fighter in the medical report immediately after the match, in accordance with the provisions drawn up by the medical commission. Based on the medical report submitted, the medical commission will take a decision and communicate this to the management. The management will immediately inform the fighter, association and manager in question of this decision. This decision must be recorded in the appearance booklet of the fighter in question. The ring doctor should include contestants’ experiences in the medical report insofar as medically relevant. The knockouts to the head and/or body, significant injuries, RSCs and RSCHs must always be recorded. The medical report must be detailed, specifying details such as the nature of the KOs, duration of loss of consciousness, retrograde amnesia, the nature of injuries and medical findings at the end of the match. For the purpose of an accurate medical report, consultation with the jury members and/or the referee will in many cases be necessary. If the ring doctor ascertains that a contestant is experiencing functional disorders during the course of the match such that, in his/her opinion, continuing the match would be irresponsible, he/she is authorized to stop the match. The ring doctor sends the medical documents to the medical commission of GSI. The ring doctor must, if he/she considers this necessary from a medical viewpoint, give the contestant a letter for his/her general practitioner stating the nature of injury and the ring doctor’s own findings and recommendations in order to assure adequate medical follow-up and aftercare. The ring doctor will not leave his place in the ring during the match; if the ring doctor must nevertheless leave the ring he must inform the head juror and/or announcer of this in order for the referee to either interrupt or stop the match; no matches may continue during the absence of the ring doctor. GLORY advises the presence of at least two doctors. Backstage Officials : The backstage officials are taxed with monitoring the bandages and gloves and must ensure that the fighters are ready on time for the upcoming fight. Timekeeper : The timekeeper is responsible for monitoring the duration of the rounds of a match. The timekeeper checks the duration of the rounds and the intervals by means of clock/stopwatch. Ten seconds before the end of the interval the timekeeper signals twice on the gong or by another approved method, and the announcer or the referee then issues the command “Seconds Out”; at that point, the coaches and seconds must leave the ring immediately, taking their care supplies with them. By sounding the gong, the timekeeper signals the beginning and end of the rounds for the referee. The gong is therefore an instruction for the referee. Scorekeeper : The scorekeeper/main juror monitors the score sheets and keeps a record of the total scores of points per round and the total scores of points per match. The score is communicated to the announcer and the coordinators so it can be displayed on the score board. The scorekeeper keeps and archives the score sheets for the GSI. Ring Announcer : The announcer is responsible for announcing the match, warnings and the scores. Ten seconds before the beginning of a round the announcer, in conjunction with the timekeeper, issues the command “seconds out” and clearly indicates the number of the round. All fighters and coaches are deemed to be familiar with the GSI rules. Appeals pleading unfamiliarity with the rules will not be accepted. Each event must be preceded by a rules meeting. Protests that address either a misapplication of a rule or regulation, or an irregularity or impropriety regarding the conductance of a contest or event should be submitted directly to the presiding government regulatory commission or agency that supervised the event, and be presented in accordance with their procedures regarding protests. If the event occurs in a location where no government commission or agency has jurisdiction, the protest should be directed to the independent arbiter or sanction organization contracted to provide impartial regulatory supervision of the event, and in accordance with their procedures regarding protests. Protests limited to questioning a judgment made by an official or officials risk being summarily dismissed. Raising protests or bringing a dispute to the attention of an official during the event can be penalized either with immediate consequences or future consequences in the form of a reprimand equivalent to a yellow card and the accompanying financial sanction. The above rules of the GLORY World Series will always be subordinate and consequently may be revoked or modified depending on the applicable laws and/or ethical standards of the country or state where the event is organized, or by the presiding regulatory body supervising the event. All affairs or disputes that have not been provided for in the foregoing rules will be addressed and resolved by the on-site supervisor representing the presiding regulatory body. House rules or Code of conduct: These are the rules which are added depending on the event and are related only to this specific event. These rules will be determined separately for each event. Four Man Contender Tournament Tournament Bouts : Each bout is scheduled for three rounds of three minutes each with one minute rest intervals. In the event of a draw, an extra “sudden-victory” round will be contested. The Tournament’s Final bout may be extended by as many as two extra rounds. In the event of an extra round or rounds, the scores of the previous rounds are cancelled out and only the score of the final round is used to determine which fighter advances, or in the case of the tournament final, which fighter is awarded the championship. Judges may not score the extra round(s) even (a draw). Bout Scores and General rules : For the Bout Scores and other rules, tournaments will fall under the general GLORY rules. Tournament Maximum Knockdown Rules : The following rules will apply to all tournament bouts EXCEPT THE TOURNAMENT FINAL A contestant will be declared defeated by technical knocked out if knocked down two times in one and the same round A contestant will be declared defeated by technical knocked out if knocked down three times in one and the same bout. The following rules will apply to THE TOURNAMENT FINAL A contestant will be declared defeated by technical knocked out if knocked down three times in one and the same round. A contestant will be declared defeated by knocked out if knocked down four times in one and the same bout. Fighter Selection for a Four Man CONTENDER Tournament: Four fighters are selected for a contender tournament based on GLORY rankings. If available, the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7 th ranked fighters in that division will be chosen and matched for the opening stage according to the seed match-placement system. Reserve Bouts: One Tournament Reserve Bout will be contested to determine the order of standby fighter availability in the event that a tournament fighter is not in condition or allowed to continue and advance to fight in the next stage. The reserve bout is contested between the fighters ranked #8 and #9 for a CONTENDER tournament or #5 and #6 for a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP tournament (or the next highest ranking fighter(s) if they are not available). NOTE: A “wild card” fighter may be selected from a pool of the best fighters from the country where the tournament takes place or chosen by other criteria. Or an “alternate fighter” may be designated in lieu of contesting a reserve bout. Tournament Fighter Substitution Rules: For tournaments, the following rules apply regarding the prioritized order of substitution options if a fighter in a qualifying round who has earned advancement to the next stage is unable to continue participating. 1st Option: The opponent of the fighter who earned advancement will be entitled to advance unless this right is withdrawn based on convincing reasons. 2nd Option: If the opponent of the fighter who earned advancement does not qualify, the winner of the reserve bout will be placed in the tournament (or the designated “alternate fighter”). 3rd Option: If the winner of the reserve bout does not qualify, the loser of the reserve bout will be placed in the tournament. If circumstances occur that require substitution beyond the parameters described above, that decision will be made by the GLORY tournament supervisor in conjunction with the presiding athletic commission. The Winner: The Winner of a GLORY 4 Man CONTENDER Tournament will be referred to as The Contender	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0030.json.gz/line3719

Your problem here is not just that there is no overseer of stone draggers but that no titles at all are consistent with ramps. Only a few can even be interpreted to be consistent with ramps. One can posit that "masons" cut, transported, and set the stones but then why are there so few mason? Why are no "quarry workers" known here but right in the workers cemetery, right in the middle of all those arthritic bone is there a "Overseer of Sculptors? The universe of known titles is inconsistent with building pyramids by any muscle based system. That the titles are all mixed up with people who likely didn't work on this project is simply irrelevant due to the fact that there are no titles consistent with muscle. > Along with the peasant conscripts who made up the > tremendous bulk of the unskilled workforce,... You are assuming there was an unskilled workforce. There is simply no evidence of an army of unskilled laborers who dragged, pried, or otherwise lifted these stones. The evidence that exists suggest just a few thousand men, women, and children worked on this site. Why would they employ young girls on a site where there was an army of men lifting stones by any method at all. You are assuming things that are nowhere in evidence. > Regarding the dilapidated state of the internal > ramp revealed in the gravimetric scan. No internal ramps of any nature or state have been found. They can not appear on the gravimetric scan but not thermal imaging. It is an impossibility. Sure you can still claim they used internal ramps and then they were all filled in to exactly the same (varying) density as the surrounding stones but then you're right back to there is no evidence of internal ramps. Logically internal ramps were always highly improbable because of the extreme conditions and constrictions that would have existed inside of them. They would be highly inefficient and then you'd need to turn the corners. 6 1/2 million tons up a narrow passage just doesn't make a lot of sense. If evidence is ever found then I can eat these words but in the meantime it has been established that stones were pulled straight up the side. Evidence and logic dictate this and this is quite possibly the reason that they refuse to release data. They likely feel a little foolish not realizing the construction issue was solved in 1988. I'm worse because I think I knew how it was built by 2006 and never realized that the gravimetric scan was really all the evidence needed until ~2011. They built steps because they needed the platforms to work. They pulled the stones up the side. No matter what means was used to pull them up it was far more efficient than ramps.
