Marine Microbiology Initiative awards grants to 100 scientists -Bigelow Laboratory gets $150,000
Dinoflagellates are single-celled marine organisms that use two (dino) whip-like organs called flagella (flagellates) to propel themselves in water. (stock photo)
Bigelow Laboratory is part of international effort to develop ways to model marine microbial ecology to increase understanding and predictability of ocean systems
By Ramona du Houx
Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences Senior Research Scientist José Antonio Fernández Robledo will spend the next year developing molecular tools to manipulate dinoflagellates to better understand their function and how they might transform themselves under varying conditions.
Dinoflagellates are single-celled marine organisms that use two (dino) whip-like organs called flagella (flagellates) to propel themselves in water. They are distributed throughout the global ocean and are the first link in the aquatic food chain--the initial transfer of light energy to chemical energy (photosynthesis). Almost all other organisms are dependent upon this energy transfer for their subsequent existence.
This work, being done in collaboration with Dr. Claudio H. Slamovits at Dalhousie University in Halifax Nova Scotia, is part of an $8 million Marine Microbial Initiative launched by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
The Initiative will occur over the next two years supporting the efforts of more than 100 scientists across 33 institutions to collectively tackle the challenge of developing methods to bring experimental model systems to the ocean.
Bigelow Laboratory was awarded $150,000 in funding.
The genetic tools generatedin this effort will allow researchers to investigate the activities of microbial genes to understand how these organisms function in marine ecosystems and provide the capability to ask scientific questions inways not currently possible.
Model systems, such as the mammalian gut bacterium Escherichia coli for microbiology and the fruit fly and zebra fish for biomedicine, have been invaluable for deciphering complex biology. For example, by studying fruit flies, scientists gain insight into the inheritance of human traits such as eye color. But in the world of marine microbial ecology, there are very few model systems and associated tools that enable scientists to deeply explore the physiology, biochemistry, and ecology of marine microbes, which are key drivers of the ocean’s elemental cycles, influence greenhouse gas levels, and support marine food webs.
Ginger Armbrust, Ph.D., from the University of Washington explained that an important outcome would be to “expand the community of people that are working on these organisms and making big breakthroughs into how these organisms function.” She added, “New model systems will be a magnet for people from outside the field of marine microbial ecology as they will suddenly be able to work with marine microbes in ways that they are used to working with other model organisms.
“It is great to be part of this international effort to advance understanding of the marine microbial community and how it might respond to change,” said Bigelow Laboratory scientist Fernández Robledo. Bigelow photo
Currently, researchers have access to powerful tools in biology to help them understand the ocean, such as microscopy and DNA sequencing, but are lacking essential tools in genetics to make robust experimental model systems. Without these tools, scientists are less able to link specific genes to cell behavior or determine how microbes interact within their environment and with one another – critical information for understanding how ocean ecosystems function.
“It is great to be part of this international effort to advance understanding of the marine microbial community and how it might respond to change,” said Bigelow Laboratory scientist Fernández Robledo. “The support from the Moore Foundation will allow us to jump start our genetic capabilities here and help contribute to global ocean understanding.”
Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, an independent not-for-profit research institution on the coast of Maine, conducts research ranging from microbial oceanography to large-scale ocean processes that affect the global environment. Recognized as a leader in Maine’s emerging innovation economy, the Laboratory’s research, education, and technology transfer programs are spurring significant economic growth in the state.

The Guide to Wine at Zuni Cafe
Since its founding 30 years ago, Zuni Cafe has become one of the “Meccas” of the restaurant world and even though its globally renowned chef/owner, Judy Rodgers, passed away in December 2013, the standard she set in her kitchen is seemingly immortal. Foodies from all over the world, not to mention the Bay Area, make the pilgrimage to this Market Street landmark everyday and while the menu and ambiance are the main attraction, the wine list has always played an Oscar worthy supporting role.
Zuni’s wine program started to make a name for itself in the late 1980’s when one of the managers, Sylvie Darr, realized that Rodgers cuisine deserved a wine list that matched the menu’s excellence. After Darr left, her successors, Steve Kopp and Thierry Lovato, kept this flame alive, maintaining relationships with local winemakers and Bay Area importers, namely Kermit Lynch and Beaune Imports.
Continuity is one of the aspects of Zuni’s wine selection that has set it apart. When a number of San Francisco’s wine buyers were still in diapers, Zuni featured wineries such as Mount Eden Vineyards, Domaine Huet and Domaine de DeMontille, which are now highly coveted in the sommelier community. Many of these oldies but goodies including Navarro Gewurztraminer ($32 for the 2012) and Faury Saint-Joseph, “Vielles Vignes” ($58 for the 2012), find a place on the list, vintage after vintage.
While “classic” producers dominate, you can still find the 2012 Occhipinti Frappato ($72) from Sicily and a handful of other wines made by younger wineries that are by en large organic. Most of chosen producers are, if not certified organic, practicing sustainable viticulture and using native yeast.
It is refreshing to see sparkling wines from a variety of regions getting some play in San Francisco but sometimes you just want a glass Champagne and Zuni always has two available for about $15, give or take. Even before rosé became popular, Zuni never shied away, offering wines from Provence and elsewhere such as the 2013 Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol Rosé ($12 gl/ $60 bt). The BTG choices rotate but there are consistently five whites and five reds ranging in price from $8 - $16.
Servers and bartenders have a good handle on the glass wines and some are also well versed in the 100 or so bottle list. If not, they can usually find someone on staff to help out.
Any restaurant that can stay in business for three decades is doing something right. Zuni’s continued success can be attributed to the many who have cooked here over the years yet the overall vision of the wine program as executed by several talented people, who implemented Rodgers vision on the beverage side, should not be overlooked.

Smith v. Wilson
United States District Court, D. Montana, Helena Division
JACOB SMITH, Plaintiff,
THOMAS WILSON, BALTISAR, SEGOVIA, DOE #1, DOE #2, DOE #3, MICHELLE STEYH DIRECTOR OF THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, LEROY KIRKEGARD, TOM WOOD, PAUL REESE, AMBER EDWARDS, CAPTAIN JASON GRIMMIS, and HELENA PROBATION AND PAROLE OFFICERS MICHELLE JENICEK, DEANNE LOUNGEE, AND CHRISTEN THENNIS,, Defendants.
Dana L. Christensen, Chief Judge
United States Magistrate Judge John T. Johnston entered his Order and Findings and Recommendations in this case on April 3, 2019, recommending that several of Plaintiff Jacob Smith's claims be dismissed for failure to state a claim. (Doc. 33 at 33-34.) Smith timely filed an objection and is entitled to de novo review of those findings and recommendations to which he has specifically objected. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Absent objection, this Court reviews findings and recommendations for clear error. United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc); Thomas v. Am, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. Syrax, 235 F.3d 422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000) (citations omitted). "A party makes a proper objection by identifying the parts of the magistrate's disposition that the party finds objectionable and presenting legal argument and supporting authority, such that the district court is able to identify the issues and the reasons supporting a contrary result." Montana Shooting Sports Ass'n v. Holder, 2010 WL 4102940, at *2 (D. Mont. Oct. 18, 2010) (citation omitted).
Smith objects to one aspect of Judge Johnston's Findings and Recommendations, the recommended dismissal of his retaliation claim against Defendant Michelle Jenicek. (Doc 37 at 1-4.) Jenicek is a state probation officer who filed a request to have Smith transferred from temporary placement in the Lewis & Clark Detention Center to placement in the Montana State Prison. Jenicek filed the request in September 2016. On October 26, 2016, the Jefferson County District Court revoked Smith's sentence in that court and imposed an additional term of incarceration. Nine days later, on November 4, 2016, Smith was transferred to Montana State Prison. Smith claims that Jenicek sought his transfer from the Lewis & Clark Detention Center to Montana State Prison in retaliation for his continued litigation activity.
Judge Johnston recommended dismissing Smith's claim against Jenicek because Smith had done no more than provide a "formulaic recitation of the elements" which failed to show that his litigation activity was "the substantial or motivating factor behind his transfer to prison." (Doc. 33 at 16.) Although facially plausible, Judge Johnston noted that it is "equally if not more plausible" that Smith was transferred because his Jefferson County sentence had just been revoked. (Id. at 17.) As determined by Judge Johnston,
When faced with two possible explanations, only one of which can be true and only one of which results in liability, plaintiffs cannot offer allegations that are merely consistent with their favored explanation but are also consistent with the alternative explanation. Something more is needed, such as facts tending to exclude the possibility that the alternative explanation is true, in order to render plaintiffs' allegations plausible.
(Id. (quoting Eclectic Properties East, LLC v. Marcus & Millichap Co., 751 F.3d 990, 996-97 (9th Cir. 2014)).) In Smith's case, he had failed to provide any facts tending to exclude the equally likely possibility that he was transferred because his sentence had been revoked.
Smith's objection contains a list of his litigation activities that he asserts supports his claim that he was transferred in retaliation. (Doc. 37 at 1-4.) Smith then concludes by saying that he "establishes that he was not transferred to MSP due to his revocation in Jefferson County since the 'special override' occurred in September and the Jefferson sentencing occurred in October." (Id. at 4.) The Court does not find that Smith has established anything. Judge Johnston considered the fact that Smith had continuous litigation activities when stating that it was plausible that Jenicek requested Smith's transfer in retaliation for those activities. Nonetheless, Judge Johnston recommended dismissal because Smith had failed to contend with the more likely possibility that Smith was transferred because of his revocation. Smith's additional documentation of his litigation does not address this problem. Further, despite Smith's unsupported contention to the contrary, his documentation does not provide any basis for determining that his revocation had nothing to do with his transfer. Both Jenicek's request and the Jefferson County revocation occurred prior to his revocation. The fact that Jenicek's request occurred first does not establish that the Jefferson County revocation was not the reason for his transfer, especially when the Jefferson County revocation occurred a mere nine days prior to his transfer and Jenicek's request had been filed approximately six weeks prior. The alternative explanation remains more likely and Smith's objection is overruled. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Judge Johnston's Order and Findings and Recommendations (Doc. 33) are ADOPTED IN FULL and the following are DISMISSED:
1. Smith's claim that the DOC Director, Probation Officers Jenicek, Loungee, and Thennis, and Jason Grimmis took adverse action against him by overriding him from LCDC to MSP during the critical stages of his legal proceedings as alleged in Paragraph 39 of the Amended Complaint;
2. Smith's claim that the DOC Director and Probation Officers Jenicek, Loungee, and Thennis conspired with Defendant Steyh as alleged in Paragraph 40 of the Amended Complaint;
3. Smith's claim that Probation Officers Jenicek, Loungee, and Thennis threatened and punished his family, friends, and witnesses in retaliation for his litigation activities as alleged in Paragraph 41 of the Amended Complaint;
4. All claims against Defendants DOC Director, Montana State Prison Administrators, Thomas Wilson, Tom Wood, Daniel Segovia, and Leroy Kirkegard named in their official capacities.
5. Smith's procedural due process claim regarding his placement in maximum custody and/or solitary confinement as alleged in Paragraphs 57-63 of the Amended Complaint;
6. Smith's procedural due process claim regarding loss of property as alleged in Paragraphs ...

Now Let Me Fly
by Marcia Cebulska
A Play Commemorating the
Landmark Supreme Court Decision
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka
Celebrate the 65th Anniversary!
nowletmefly.com > Frequently Asked Questions
To every dishwasher who gave a dime to the NAACP and every mama who made fried chicken for the cause--this is for you.
Thurgood Marshall — Scene 15
I would like to read the script before deciding whether to organize a reading. Where may I obtain a copy?
The script is available in three versions: the Full Version (i.e., Readers Theatre Version A) and two Youth Versions.
If you are interested in a full production of Now Let Me Fly please use the contact form to let the playwright know about your interest.
Our group is enthusiastic about reading the play but none of us bears any physical resemblance to the characters. Should we just read it silently, to ourselves?
By all means, read it aloud! It's theatre, after all! If you have a printed program, you can list who is reading which roles. Or, at the beginning of the reading, you might make an announcement of who is reading which parts. For example: "Tonight, Sadie McNamara will be reading the part of Woody..." You might also consider teaming up with a another group or even a theatre, if your group is large enough to make up an audience.
Our elementary school is interested in Now Let Me Fly. We see that there is a youth version of the play intended for high school and middle school students. What about our students doing it?
We recommend that you read the youth version of the play and judge for yourself whether it is doable by and suitable for your school. If yes, perhaps older students can do a reading with younger students as an audience. Or maybe you can get a high school involved in doing a reading for your elementary students. We do think it's great that you want to bring this important piece of history into your school.
The word "colored" is used in the script. Many find this term offensive. Is there a philosophical reason for its use?
When writing Now Let Me Fly an effort was made to use the language of the times. "White" and "colored" were the common polite designations in the 1950s. "Colored" is the term found in the transcripts of the legal case, including the Supreme Court records. Note that the term in common usage today is "people of color."
Our cast is mostly female. Do you have suggestions on how to handle this situation?
The best thing would be to ignore gender and race and cast the people with the strongest voices and most dramatic presence. It will be very contemporary, hip and modern to do it this way!
We are unable to do the entire play. Could you recommend a program of excerpts?
We're glad you want to take part in A NATION ACTS and we recognize that in some situations there are time or other constraints in programming. Here is our recommendation for a program of excerpts lasting 20-30 minutes:
Scene 7 -- monolog alone or monolog + scene
Scene 9 -- entire scene
Scene 11 -- entire scene but removing the lines spoken by Marshall and Houston. To finish on a dramatic note, end with each of the other characters in turn saying "No!"
If you can only do one scene, consider Scene 9. If you need a two-minute monolog, consider Barbara Johns' speech in Scene 7.
What can you tell me about the spirituals/hymns in Now Let Me Fly?
The hymns mentioned in the script were included either because someone in an interview said that is what was sung at the time or because there was some aspect of movement to them (Get on Board, Little Children, for example). Do not feel that you have to use these hymns. The best thing to do may be to determine what songs (i.e., traditional spirituals, gospel songs that are of some vintage, etc.) your cast knows that might fit. The songs will have some meaning and familiarity for the people singing them. A website that provides background on and lyrics to Negro spirituals is negrospirituals.com. Or, search negro spirituals at Google.
Is a video of Now Let Me Fly available?
Unfortunately, a video of the play is not available.
Where can I learn more about the Brown v. Board case?

The play is perfect...It proved to be an eye-opening, tremendous experience...The students were able to see the progress made in the last 50 years since the decision, yet at the same time recognize that the work is not complete.

Western Sunfolk - 2002 >>>
This is our home site. We first visited Western Sunfolk with a Suntreckers rally in 2002 and liked it so much that we visited several times in the following few years, before finally joining at the start of 2009.
Western Sunfolk website
For stocking up the cupboards there are a Waitrose, a Budgens, an M&S Foods and a Lidl in Monmouth, about five miles north, and a large Tesco in Chepstow, about eight miles south.
There are no rubbish disposal facilities at WSF, but there is a municipal recycling depot on the outskirts of Monmouth.
It was as a result of a conversation with another member that this website came to be.
In 2015, Western Sunfolk celebrated their 80th birthday.
During the afternoon of July 11th around 170 members, former members and guests enjoyed a variety of sideshows and games.
Later everyone sat down to some entertainment and a delicious meal that had been prepared by a team of members and featured the pork that had been roasting all day, thanks to one intrepid member who was up at 0600 to start the cooking.
Photograph courtesy of a WSF member
Western Sunfolk is not far from the Wye Valley. There are around sixty static caravans owned by some of the members and about a dozen camping/caravanning pitches with 6 amp electric hook-ups. There is a large pavilion with kitchen, a smaller teenagers' pavilion, two service blocks with free showers and washing up facilities, a heated, covered swimming pool, two miniten courts, a volleyball court, two boule courts and a children's play area.
Non-members are welcome to visit for a day or longer, but entry to the grounds is subject to pre-booking, which can be done through the club website. The short drive to the club gate starts at N51.7482° W2.7396°. Look for the WSF sign on the gatepost.
You will know that you've arrived when you see the friendly Welsh Dragon on the gate. Once inside, the Welcome logo in its little bed of flowers faces you as you drive to reception.

Punchbowl Lake - 2018
We discovered Punchbowl Lake in the Wild Guide to Wales - one of the excellent series of Wild Guides that began with Wild Swimming and Wild Swimming Coast. The lake is not a designated naturist area but, with discretion, can be used for nude swimming and sunbathing.
The lake is about two miles southwest of Abergavenny, nestling in a natural bowl in the foothills of Blorenge. The closest place to park is near the cattle grid at N51.7950° W3.0474°. From here a path diverges from the road through a gate and leads down through trees to the lake. The path starts fairly level but then descends steeply to the lake.
On the day that we visited there was no one else there so we had a nude stroll around the lake but, as the water looked rather murky, we didn't fancy a swim. We were able to walk nude back to the car and then explored the path up to Blorenge for a short way.
Wild Guides website
River Usk, Llanfihangel Gobion - 2018
This was another site that we discovered in the Wild Guide to Wales. This part of the river is also not a designated naturist area but, with discretion, can be used for nude swimming and sunbathing.
Llanfihangel Gobion is a tiny hamlet about four miles southeast of Abergavenny. About a third of a mile south of the hamlet is a bridge over the River Usk and about ninety yards south of that is a wide gateway entrance at N51.7742° W2.9456° with room for a couple of cars parked sensibly.
To get to the swimming spot walk back to the bridge and just before it is a footpath to the left, through a curious hinged stile. Once out of sight of the house to the left it is possible to do the rest of the walk nude. The best swimming spot is about half a mile from the bridge but there is a steep bank down to the water. The water varies in depth up to over six feet.

PWRHAUS New Single, Upcoming Album
Some of your favorite local tracks may be from Anthony Schatz, but you would never know it. He's been recording under the guise of anonymity for years, with some of his albums secretly reaching heights of critical acclaim and maximum enjoyment, including from popular musicians like Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold. While those in the scene may know his face from the house shows he's thrown, everyone else will soon know that face due to his upcoming new album, due out on February 3rd.
Under the moniker PWRHAUS (or sometimes, Tonality Star), Schatz's tender concoction of ethereal dreampop, retro Motown soul and indie, topped with a witty cheekiness, is undeniably catchy.
The newest single to come off the release, "Heartbeat," is a lo-fi reworking of a traditional love song as far as the ear can make out of the slightly droned out but definite head-bobbing beat. You can experience this track live along with the rest of the album, at his visual album release on the 8th at Holocene. Secrets, the solo project of Aaron Chapman from Nurses, and Schaus will also be a part of the soulfully dreamy fun. Take a peek at "Heartbeat" below.

Saturday Night Sounds: Schaus - "Galileo's Song"
Here we find ourselves, yet again, on a Saturday night. Some of us may be out partying on the town while others might be cozily nestled in their beds. For those of us that prefer a personal party at home or may be looking for some tunes to get them in the mood to party as they're getting ready, we've got a fairly fresh track coming to you from local experimental artist Schaus.
"Galileo's Song" dropped earlier this month and is an artsy, avant-pop track that properly utilizes addiciting synth lines to create a soundscape you can't help but be immersed in.
Listen to the track below and let it be the energetic addition to your party playlist or the necessary auditory element to your Saturday night chill sesh.

Premier Kenney appoints strong team ready to lead
by ahnationtalk on April 30, 2019150 Views
Alberta’s 18th Premier, Jason Kenney, and his cabinet were sworn in at Government House in Edmonton on April 30.
“Albertans gave our new government a huge democratic mandate for bold change that gets our economy back to work and stands up for this province. This is a strong team that is ready to lead, and to deliver that change starting today.”
Premier Jason Kenney
Alberta’s new government is one of the most youthful in Canada, with a strong mandate to represent all Albertans. Diversity is reflected through the 13 different languages spoken by ministers and, for the first time, Alberta will have a minister responsible for Multiculturalism, as well as a dedicated parliamentary secretary. The province will be well served in attracting entrepreneurial immigrants who create jobs and bring economic growth to Alberta with a Minister of Immigration.
“Many of the ministers appointed are Albertans by choice and not chance, having immigrated to this province because they saw it as a land of opportunity that they now seek to serve. Alberta’s new cabinet includes farmers, teachers, tradespeople, small business owners, lawyers, business executives, musicians, oil and gas experts, public servants and a range of other professional backgrounds. These ministers are in touch with the lives of the people they will be serving.”
“This is a young, energetic and diverse team with deep experience. With an average age of 43, most members of this cabinet are new to public service. They ran for all of the right reasons: because they want to work hard to reverse years of economic decline and stagnation, and to get our economy moving again. This is a team that will be obsessed with creating jobs, showing the world that Alberta is open for business again, and fighting for a fair deal in Canada.”
Premier Kenney and cabinet will meet for the first time immediately after the swearing-in. They will be focused on getting to work on Day One, implementing the comprehensive United Conservative agenda. Later today, Premier Kenney will be launching his strategy to stand up for Albertans, beginning with a presentation to a Senate committee, opposing the disastrous Bill C-48 – a bill unfairly targeting and discriminating against Alberta resources.

Case Files: Dauphine Orleans Hotel
Situated on a site that dates back to 1775, the historic Dauphine Orleans Hotel is located in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans. It's known as a premier stop for visitors to the Crescent City--and as a pilgrimage to those who like to stay in well known haunted places!
The current structure that is the hotel dates back to the city's first Spanish and French settlers and houses 111 rooms total (including the Herman House located across the street from the main hotel), a lounge/restaurant called May Baily's Place, and a massive courtyard with a pool. It's thought that the handmade nails that line some of the original walls in the building came from the local Jean Lafitte Blacksmith Shop when Lafitte was known more for being a pirate than a blacksmith.
In addition to this great, traditional history, the hotel also has quite a few ghost stories associated with it as well. In the late 1890's, May Baily's was known as one of the best brothels in Storyville (the original name of New Orleans)--and it was visited by a fair share of locals and travellers to the area. And with the 'ladies of the night' also came those who like to drink, gamble, and cause trouble.
Since those days--and certainly after the hotel opened its doors in 1969--patrons have seen the spirit of a soldier (thought by some to be a Creole who may have patronized the brothel) in the courtyard area of the hotel and the ghost of a young lady has been witnessed throughout the property (though most often in the courtyard and surrounding rooms). It was the tales of these two ghosts that were told to us when we arrived at the hotel. And once we were finished hearing first-hand the activity that takes place there, and was checked into our room, the fun began...
Armed with our usual bag of investigative tools--and stationed in a cottage room alongside the courtyard area--we roamed the area attempting to capture anything paranormal or untoward with our audio and video recorders.
While outside in the courtyard we noticed that there are a lot of strange shadows that seem to be a result of erratic lighting--and there are areas that aren't lit at all. These dark spaces seemed to play tricks on our eyes a bit; shadows of bushes in the wind, etc. were often mistaken for 'shadow shapes' moving about. But nothing was seen of the soldier or woman. Of course we know that spirits don't always show up when you want them too, so this came as no surprise.
While we were outside, however, the audio recorder in our room was capturing quite a lot of interesting sounds. Before leaving to the courtyard, I had placed an audio recorder with a cell-sensor EMF detector in the room. This particular detector makes a beeping sound when it detects any EMF's in the area--and this would show up on our audio recorder. Almost immediately after leaving the room, things started happening there.
First there were the sounds of tapping, knocks, and bangs. Then the EMF detector started going off now and then (the spirit was seemingly getting the energy to do more over time). And finally, the knocks and EMF beeps were accompanied by a female voice. No wonder we didn't see the female spirit in the courtyard: she was in our empty room apparently!
Exterior of our Room
The Dauphine Orleans makes for a perfect haunted getaway; the rooms are spacious and lush, the onsite bar is a great hangout (and close to the room), and the haunting there is just enough to excite without frightening anyone. I highly recommend visiting for a fun weekend. Find out more about the Dauphine Orleans (and book your stay) at their official website.
The EVP's/Audio:
As with all EVP's that you listen to on this site, remember to listen in a quiet room with a good set of earphones or you may not hear all the sounds. EVP's are typically recorded at a very low volume and at a hard-to-hear frequency, so turn up the volume, too! Here we go...
Clip 1: This is an example of the bangs and knocks that were heard when the EMF detector first started going off in the room.
Clip 2: The activity is starting to ramp up; in this clip you will hear the EMF detector go off and what sounds like a voice maybe starting to speak or yell, etc.
Clip 3: Activity is in full swing now. You will hear a female voice say something, then a bang, then the female voice again.

A Note About EVP's:
Though every effort is made to make our audio clips loud and clearly audible, the typical EVP is extremely low in volume and is often hard to hear without being in a QUIET room, using good headphones. If you take the time to listen to them in this type of environment, you will hear them! Enjoy.

Blue with Eye Palace Lobelia
Lobelia erinus 'Blue with Eye Palace'
Blue with Eye Palace Lobelia flowers
Spacing: 6 inches
Group/Class: Palace Series
Blue with Eye Palace Lobelia features dainty royal blue flowers with white eyes at the ends of the stems from mid spring to mid fall. Its tiny narrow leaves remain green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Blue with Eye Palace Lobelia is an herbaceous annual with a trailing habit of growth, eventually spilling over the edges of hanging baskets and containers. It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect.
This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep. Trim off the flower heads after they fade and die to encourage more blooms late into the season. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Blue with Eye Palace Lobelia is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Blue with Eye Palace Lobelia will grow to be only 4 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 6 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 6 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.
This plant should be grown in a location that is shaded from the hot afternoon sun. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by cuttings; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
Blue with Eye Palace Lobelia is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in hanging baskets. Because of its trailing habit of growth, it is ideally suited for use as a 'spiller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the edges where it can spill gracefully over the pot. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport introduced in Malaysia – three-tier tyre range to make market debut next year
In Local News / By Anthony Lim / 9 December 2019 11:25 pm / 4 comments
Goodyear Malaysia today officially introduced its new Eagle F1 Supersport in the country, the brand’s flagship performance tyre arriving here a year after it was unveiled globally.
However, the introduction of the three-tier range, which consists of the Supersport, SuperSport R and SuperSport RS, was not quite a product launch per se. That’s because the tyres – tagged as ultra ultra high performance (UUHP) designs – will only arrive in shops sometime next year.
The Supersport, which sits above the Asymmetric 5 in the scheme of things, will be the first in, being available in the first quarter of 2020. The new tyre features innovative technologies and compounds that enable significant improvements to braking distances and lap times without neglecting more intangible elements such as feedback during turn-in and braking.
Design elements include stiff tread ribs to ensure responsive directional changes, while a massive closed outside pattern on the tyre’s shoulder provides control during load transfers in corners. The Supersport also features a super-stiff sidewall to further improve handling without unduly compromising ride comfort.
The Supersport, which will take the fight to the likes of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, will have fitments ranging from 18- to 21-inch diameters, 205 to 305 mm widths and an aspect ratio ranging from 45 to 30. It’s intended for vehicle models such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI, BMW M3, Mercedes-AMG C63 and the Porsche 911 Turbo.
The SuperSport R takes the performance up a notch, offering increased grip levels and steering precision as well as improved cornering stability. The tyre, aimed at buyers owning performance-focused models such as the BMW M4 CS and the Porsche 911 GT3, will be available in sizes ranging from 18- to 21-inch diameters, 205 to 305 mm widths and 25 to 40 aspect ratios.
As for the SuperSport RS, it’s the brand’s most race-focused tire, and rather specific in its application – at point of launch last year, only two fitment sizes were announced for the tyre with a specialised, racing-originated compound, in this case 265/35 ZR20 and 325/30 ZR21, specifically for the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Given that this was not a product launch outright, no prices were indicated for the new UUHP range, but the company says that in the case of the Supersport, pricing should be very close to that of the Pilot Sport 4 S.
The company also highlighted the Asymmetric 5 and the Asymmetric 3 SUV in what was termed a family introduction today that saw the entire local product portfolio on show. The German-made Asymmetric 5, also announced last December, has already been in shops locally for a while. It replaces the Asymmetric 3 in the product line-up, and is available in 29 fitment sizes, ranging from 17-to 20-inches.
Goodyear Malaysia also took the opportunity to announce that a brand new tyre will be introduced in 2020, and the product will replace the long-serving Eagle F1 Directional 5 in the line-up. It’s expected to make its debut sometime after Q2 next year.
At the launch, the company also displayed products from its other tyre families, namely the Assurance Triplemax 2, Assurance DuraPlus, EfficientGrip and the Wrangler series.
Anthony Lim believes that nothing is better than a good smoke and a car with character, with good handling aspects being top of the prize heap. Having spent more than a decade and a half with an English tabloid daily never being able to grasp the meaning of brevity or being succinct, he wags his tail furiously at the idea of waffling - in greater detail - about cars and all their intrinsic peculiarities here.

Godly-tiered tyres!

This is the Wikipedia entry entitled "Terpene synthase C terminal domain". More...
Terpene synthase C terminal domain Edit Wikipedia article
Terpene_synth_C
5-epi-aristolochene synthase from nicotiana tabacum
Available protein structures:
RCSB PDB; PDBe; PDBj
PDBsum
In molecular biology, this protein domain belongs to the terpene synthase family (TPS). Its role is to synthesize terpenes which are part of primary metabolism, such as sterols and carotene and also part of the secondary metabolism. This entry will focus on the C terminal domain of the TPS protein.
3 Conservation
Terpenes synthases have a role in producing important molecules in metabolism, these molecules are part of a large group called terpenoids . In particular, the C terminal domain catalyzes the cyclization of geranyl diphosphate, orienting and stabilizing multiple reactive carbocation intermediates. Or in simpler terms, the C terminal aids the synthesis of new molecules.
It is thought to have at least two alpha helices.[1]
Sequences containing this protein domain belong to the terpene synthase family. It has been suggested that this gene family be designated tps (for terpene synthase). Sequence comparisons reveal similarities between the monoterpene (C10) synthases, sesquiterpene (C15) synthases and the diterpene (C20) synthases. It has been split into six subgroups on the basis of phylogeny, called Tpsa-Tpsf .[2]
Tpsa includes vetispiridiene synthase.[3]
Tpsb includes (-)-limonene synthase.[4]
Tpsc includes copalyl diphosphate synthase (kaurene synthase A).[5]
Tpsd includes taxadiene synthase,[6] pinene synthase,[7] and myrcene synthase.[8]
Tpse includes ent-kaurene synthase B.[9]
Tpsf includes linalool synthase.[10] In the fungus Phaeosphaeria sp. (strain L487) the synthesis of ent-kaurene from geranylgeranyl dophosphate is promoted by a single bifunctional protein.[11]

It would indeed be no exaggeration to say thatnowhere in the whole compass of the world's religious literature, except in theGospels, do we find any record relating to the death of any of thereligion-founders of the past comparable to the martyrdom suffered by theProphet of Shiraz. So strange, so inexplicable a phenomenon, attested byeye-witnesses, corroborated by men of recognized standing, and acknowledged bygovernment as well as unofficial historians among the people who had swornundying hostility to the Bábí Faith, may be truly regarded as the mostmarvelous manifestation of the unique potentialities with which a Dispensationpromised by all the Dispensations of the past had been endowed.
The passion ofJesus Christ, and indeed His whole public ministry, alone offer a parallel tothe Mission and death of the Bab, a parallel which no student of comparativereligion can fail to perceive or ignore. In the youthfulness and meekness ofthe Inaugurator of the Bábí Dispensation; in the extreme brevity and turbulenceof His public ministry; in the dramatic swiftness with which that ministrymoved towards its climax; in the apostolic order which He instituted, and theprimacy which He conferred on one of its members; in the boldness of Hischallenge to the time-honored conventions, rites and laws which had been woveninto the fabric of the religion He Himself had been born into; in the rolewhich an officially recognized and firmly entrenched religious hierarchy playedas chief instigator of the outrages which He was made to suffer; in theindignities heaped upon Him; in the suddenness of His arrest; in theinterrogation to which He was subjected; in the derision poured, and thescourging inflicted, upon Him; in the public affront He sustained; and,finally, in His ignominious suspension before the gaze of a hostile multitude-- in all these we cannot fail to discern a remarkable similarity to thedistinguishing features of the career of Jesus Christ.

World News - Crews bracing for erratic winds in wildfire fight
Crews trying to keep a 3,256-acre wildfire from spreading north of this scenic Arizona community were bracing Friday for possible storms that could bring strong and erratic winds. Meteorologists and fire behavior experts assigned to the fire said if the winds develop they could whip the fire out of control, pushing it at 2 to 3 miles per hour with spot fires another mile ahead of the flames. The weather concerns add another factor to a fire burning in steep, rugged terrain above Oak Creek Canyon, a lush area dotted with homes and resorts that has been evacuated since the fire began Sunday. Officials said the fire was 17% contained Friday morning — up from 7% Wednesday — with full containment predicted by June 28. The thunderstorms are Friday's biggest worry. They're not expected to bring any rain, just lightning and erratic, unpredictable winds. ...

Friends And Family Rallying Around Seven Marines, Navy Medic Charged With Murder
Friends and family are rallying around the seven Marines and a Navy medic charged with killing an Iraqi civilian, setting up Web sites to raise money and draw attention to what they claim is an unfair prosecution. The troops are charged with premeditated murder and could face the death penalty if convicted. Supporters are scrambling to raise tens of thousands of dollars to pay defense attorneys."We are not rich, but we are doing anything we can," said Diann Shumate of Matlock, Wash., mother of 20-year-old Marine Lance Cpl. Jerry Shumate Jr.Military prosecutors allege the troops kidnapped an Iraqi man from his home, tied him up, put him in a hole by the side of a road and sprayed him with bullets, then sought to cover up the crime by making it appear the man was armed and attempting to plant explosives. The troops are being held in the brig at Camp Pendleton....

WHO says H5N1 bird flu virus mutated slightly in Indonesian family cluster
A World Health Organization investigation showed that the deadly bird flu virus mutated in an Indonesian family cluster but experts insisted Friday it did not became easier to transmit between people and increase the possibility of a human pandemic. The virus that infected eight members of a family last month — killing seven of them — appears to have slightly mutated in a 10-year-old boy, who is suspected of having passed the virus to his father, the WHO investigative report said. It is the first evidence indicating that a person caught the virus from a human and then passed it on to another person, said Tim Uyeki, an epidemiologist from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He added that the strain died with the father and did not pass outside the family. "It stopped. It was dead end at that point," he said, stressing that viruses are always slightly changing and there was no reason to raise alarms. ...

Crews and Planes Work to Halt Arizona Wildfire's Northward March
Fire crews burned away vegetation and used hand tools to scratch out firebreaks along a canyon as planes dropped retardant Thursday in hopes of keeping a 3,256-acre wildfire north of this scenic Arizona community from spreading. Crews also were standing by to protect roughly 460 homes and businesses in nearby Oak Creek Canyon, which was evacuated when the blaze was sparked Sunday by a transient's campfire. Officials said the fire was 15 percent contained up from 7 percent Wednesday and full containment was possible by next Wednesday. No buildings had burned, and a containment line in an area along Sterling Canyon Thursday afternoon had held from midnight through late Thursday afternoon. ...

Sri Lanka sonic boom causes alarm
Panic gripped people living along the coast near Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo after the sound of fighter jets was mistaken for a blast, officials say. The police initially said there had been an explosion about 15km (nine miles) from Colombo, caused by a sea mine planted by Tamil Tiger rebels. But the government said later that the sound had been caused by "a sonic boom" from fighter jets on a training run. There has been a surge of violence in Sri Lanka in the recent months. Police initially said Friday's explosion occurred near a site where they had arrested five suspected Tamil Tiger rebels last week. The rebels were apparently wearing diving gear and were laying sea mines. ...

Study: Vitamins Don't Prevent Cancer Calcium, Vitamin D Supplements Don't Cut Odds Of Breast Cancer
Your parents may still tell you to take your vitamins, but a cancer doctor might hesitate. A recent study that found calcium and vitamin D supplements don't reduce the odds of developing breast cancer is the latest to deflate the cancer-prevention claims of some vitamin proponents. A federal science panel last month had concluded there is no evidence for recommending certain vitamin supplements for cancer prevention. Even the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a supplement trade association, won't say vitamins prevent cancer. "There is no vitamin or mineral supplement proven to reduce the risk of cancer," said Eric Jacobs, a senior epidemiologist and vitamin specialist with the American Cancer Society. ...

“Jackie”, Jack Roosevelt Robinson placed the doorstop into the egresses of social economics to make integration the rule rather than a temporary politicized compromise. There had been Blacks with respect to political correctness, African Americans in organized baseball and other sports as late or early as the turn of the twentieth century. Bigotry, first among a select group of power broker owners and later a megalomaniacal czar-like commissioner, Kennesaw Mountain Landis decreed that “a baseball was white and so shall be its domain“; acting and administrating accordingly.
Jackie’s older brother, “Mack”, Matthew Robinson also a UCLA multi-sports star finished a Silver Medal second to Jesse Owens in the 1936 Berlin Olympics 200 meters event. Chicago matriculated “Fritz”, Frederick Douglass Pollard at the age of 42 garnered a Bronze Medal in the high hurdles in this pseudonym, Hitler Olympics. Fritz, the first African American participant in the Rose Bowl was a charter member in what is now the National Football League ---- later becoming the first Black owner, coach and quarterback in this organization as well. Mack, Fritz, Paul Robeson, Duke Slater, Woody Stroud, Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Satchel Paige; et al were sports dark clouds and breezes filtering through color-coded cracks ---- harbingers of the maelstrom Jackie Robinson.
During the times when the only Blacks that had a perpetual imprimatur were “Uncle Remus” and “Little Black Sambo”, Jackie was the paradigm of articulated eloquence; no dialect laced responses, head scratching or shucking and jiving allowed ---- a virtual case study in erudite inspiration where failure is just a skirmish in the war for success. A scrapbook maintained by my father has a front page where a Saint Louis MO daily newspaper panned Jackie Robinson as “Blackie Robinson”. I constantly referenced this now tattered page during formative years and adulthood not fully understanding why while experiencing the indignations of racial prejudice until I could and would speak the untold and obscured facts about Black History.
There is more to a man than generations of false perception ---- knowing the heritage of who one was is reflective in who they are.
(Note – The St Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox, the last teams in their leagues to field Black players did not achieve prior glories until Blacks were among their elite players.)

Homosexual Nomos Out of Heterosexual Chaos
ANTH 110, Vered Arnon
Homosexual Nomos out of Heterosexual Chaos: Gay.com(1) as a Ritualistic Social Construction of Reality
PART ONE. THE RITUAL
A young man sits down in front of his computer in his dorm room. He lights up a cigarette. The ashtray sits on the desk next to his computer. Moonlight shines through the window. The rooms is illuminated by only the moonlight, the computer screen, and the ember of a freshly lit cigarette. Music plays, quietly enough to be nondescript, the playlist containing varieties of pop and rock.
The young man wears baggy jeans and socks. He removed his sandals near the doorway of his room. He removed his shirt before sitting down. He appears relaxed, comfortable and casual, except for the tenseness in his wrist as he smokes his cigarette. Setting the cigarette down on the edge of the ashtray, he opens a browser window on his computer and types in the address of Gay.com. While the page loads, he takes another drag of his cigarette. His empty hand glides to the edge of his desk, where his fingers idly play a staccato rhythm. Once the page has loaded, both hands return to the keyboard.
First he sets up a ‘profile’. He creates a screen name to identify himself on the website. The screen name is ‘chshrcatwscnsn’. He enters words into boxes on the screen, describing himself and his interests and his romantic and sexual preferences. He emphasises that he is a college student who likes to party and is interested in finding interesting people to talk to as well as prospective long term romantic partners. He describes his appearance truthfully, using words with very positive connotations but without exaggeration. After filling in the text of the ‘profile’, he moves on to the pictures section. He uploads one photograph of himself. In the photograph, he is standing next to a friend, but the picture has been edited so that his friend’s face is hidden. Then he uploads a picture of a kitten with a sniper rifle. ‘This picture is hot,’ he says to himself, half-acknowledging the presence of an observer in the chair next to his desk. ‘People will look at this picture, and think what the fuck, it’s a cute little kitten with a big huge sniper rifle! It’s so cute but it’s so hardcore too, people will see this and they’ll know I’m an interesting person.’
After the ‘profile’ is set up, the second step begins. He clicks on a button on the website, opening up the messenger interface. This is a java applet that allows realtime chatting. When someone’s screen name is logged in on the site, and he has the messenger open, then someone viewing his ‘profile’ can click on a link and engage him in realtime typed communication.
The third step of the ritual begins once the messenger interface is opened. The young man grinds out his cigarette in the ashtray and lights up another one. He combs his hair away from his face with the fingers of his other hand, shaking his hair back as he exhales a thick plume of smoke. This type of body language would catch someone’s attention at a club or in a party situation. Self-conscious grooming behaviour is generally considered flirtatious by his society. ‘No one can see you,’ the observer comments teasingly. He laughs and replies, ‘Shut up. I’m just getting into the mood.’
He searches through the geographical listing of ‘profiles’ and selects his own geographic location. He begins to browse through the ‘profiles’ on the site, skipping over some, contemplating some for a few moments, and clicking on the messenger link to yet others. When he clicks on the messenger link, he types and sends the message ‘What’s up?’. A couple of messages pop up on his screen from ‘profiles’ he hasn’t viewed, containing the same message that he sends out. He looks at their pictures and ‘profiles’ before he responds. Some messages don’t get a response. To others he responds ‘nothing much. You?’. Those to whom he initiated the messaging respond with the same. This is followed by questions of ‘where do you go to school’ or ‘what do you do’ and so on. Jokes are made about the boring quality of life in the Midwest or the overwhelming academic requirements of private colleges. If the conversation picks up, email addresses or other screen names are exchanged, and real first names are shared. If the conversation is slow, the messenger window is closed or ignored. After about half an hour of this activity, the young man types messages claiming that he has to go study, or go to bed, or go to a party, into the various messenger windows that are still open. Then he closes all his browser windows and stands up from his computer. ‘Oh, you wanna interview me now?’ he asks the observer whom he’d been entirely ignoring during the last phase of the ritual.
PART TWO. ANALYSIS
For the purpose of this ethnography, ‘ritual’ is defined as ‘an activity engaging in self-conscious use of symbols’. The term ‘symbol’ is here understood to refer to ‘tangible formulations of notions, abstractions from experience fixed in perceptible forms, concrete embodiments of ideas, attitudes, judgements, longings, or beliefs.’(2)
Many symbols are involved in the ritualistic social construction of reality through use of Gay.com. The use of symbols is the primary factor that makes this activity ritualistic. Social construction of reality is performed by humans in nonritualistic settings as well as ritualistic ones. The explanation of symbols and what they stand for will show how this activity constructs a social reality in a ritualistic way.
The first symbol employed in this ritual activity is the computer. The computer is a communication tool, but when used in the context of this ritual, it becomes symbolic of direct interaction. It mediates between the individual participants and the constructed reality. The computer is not a doorway, or symbolic of a doorway, but it functions to enable passage from one plane of reality to another. The computer symbolises the ‘ritual space’.
The second symbol builds from the first. The second symbol involved in this ritual is the website Gay.com. Gay.com is symbolic of the open forum of interaction where humans seek mates or romantic or sexual interests. The social reality that American college aged males live in is a predominantly heterosexually structured one, and Gay.com is symbolic of a homosexually structured counterpart to this reality.
The next symbol is the ‘profile’ that the individual participant constructs at the beginning of the ritual. This ‘profile’ symbolises himself. In an ordinary setting where people make new acquaintances, they use body language to communicate and attract others. The ‘profile’ is symbolic of body language. Articulate self-description is symbolic of physical grace – misspelled words in a profile are symbolic of (and thus interpreted as) clumsiness. The ‘profile’ is the online symbol of one’s self, and the ritualistic creation of the ‘profile’ is a ritualistic creation of what one would ideally be in a context where homosexuality was the accepted norm. No pretenses of heterosexual behaviour are made, no assumptions of heterosexuality obscure one’s intentions and expressions. The ‘profile’ is symbolic of the internal self that feels stifled and restricted in a heterosexually dominated society but in this ritual is liberated and empowered.
The pictures uploaded in the pictures section of the ‘profile’ are symbols as well. The photograph of himself that the participant in the case study uploaded is a symbolic visual representation of himself, not merely a visual representation. He chooses one in which he thinks he is portrayed attractively. He chooses one in which he is standing with a friend because he wants to show that he is not lonely or socially inept or needy. But even more symbolic is the other picture he uploaded, the picture of the kitten with the sniper rifle. This picture symbolises his own personality. The humour and creativity in the picture expresses things about himself that would be revealed through the tone of his voice or the facial expressions accompanying his flirtation. In the context of a constructed online reality where physical interaction is impossible, the symbolism in pictures serves to carry information that is basic and important to what sort of impression ‘he’ (his ‘profile’) will give people on first sight.
The messenger interface on Gay.com is also a symbol. It symbolises conversation and verbal communication. The realtime interface symbolises the direct openness of communication between people when they meet at a bar or a club or anyplace else where people go to ‘pick up’ other people. In American heterosexually dominated society, there aren’t abundant locations where men can go to meet new people and toss out ‘pick up lines’ to anyone who attracts their attention, but the realtime messenger interface on Gay.com provides a symbolic substitute for this social forum and interaction. The text, typed into the messenger box, is symbolic of what people would say to each other face to face. Different abbreviations reflect different personal styles, different opening questions are symbolic of the different sorts of eye contact or body language that would occur in a physically interactive setting. Initiating a conversation through the messenger interface is symbolic of making a ‘pick up’ attempt. Responding to someone else’s initiation is symbolic of accepting the offer of flirtation.
PART THREE. INTERPRETATION.
Rituals function to meet human needs. Peter Berger describes a theory about the social function of ritual and the social construction of reality in his book The Sacred Canopy: Elements of a Sociological Theory of Religion(3). Human existence for individuals is characterised by a need to create nomos out of chaos. The world is disordered and meaning is not inherent. Human individuals have a psychological need for meaning and order. When faced with anomic aspects of reality, individuals cope by creating nomos. The heterosexually dominated society in America is anomic for a homosexual individual. Heterosexually dominated social structure and interaction patterns are chaotic and meaningless to a homosexual individual. One of the most basic areas of life where nomos is essential is that of sexuality. Humans have a need to attract mates, to be found attractive, and to be able to interact in such a way that they can communicate these instincts and be understood. Chaos in areas of life that are basic and instinctual threatens an individual’s sense of meaning even in other unrelated areas of life. When basic needs are not met, other needs cannot be attended to. A nomic structure in which individuals can meet their sexual needs is essential not only for individual psychological well-being, but also for the general well-being of the community, because if some members feel alienated or have unmet needs, then their contribution to the community is restricted. Depression and frustration resulting from a lack of perceivable meaning in the structure of reality affects those around an individual as well as the individual himself. The anomie of the heterosexual predominance in settings like bars, clubs, and other places of social mingling, threatens a homosexual’s ability to find order and meaning in flirtation and mate-seeking. To overcome this chaos inherent in American social reality, individuals ritualistically create a symbolic social reality, where they can interact with other homosexual individuals in a nomic setting that makes sense to them and is meaningful to them. Participation of homosexual individuals in use of Gay.com is a ritualistic social construction of nomic reality to counter the anomie of the heterosexually dominated social reality that these individuals have to cope with day after day.
The individuals interviewed for this ethnography and the individual observed during the ritual have requested anonymity. Much gratitude is extended towards them for their cooperation with this project.

3 Peter L Berger, The Sacred Canopy: Elements of a Sociological Theory of Religion (New York: Doubleday, 1967). While this ethnography is focusing on nonceremonial, and thus nonreligious, ritual, Berger’s book on theory of religion is where his discussion of ritual is found. He is also the author of The Social Construction of Reality, in which his theory upon which interpretation of this ritual is based is developed with less specific focus on ritual.

Re-imagined version of 2018's 'Karma For Cheap,' includes brand new song 'My Whole Life Is Over (All Over Again)'
Aaron Lee Tasjan will release Karma for Cheap: Reincarnated on August 30th, 2019. The 10-song set is a completely re-recorded and re-imagined version of his critically acclaimed 2018 studio album Karma for Cheap and includes an unreleased song, the intimate stunner, ‘My Whole Life Is Over (All Over Again).” In celebration of its first birthday, Karma for Cheap: Reincarnated will be released exactly one year after the original album.
Billboard has premiered the video for Tasjan’s brand new song “My Whole Life Is Over (All Over Again).” Billboard calls the Michael Kessler-directed video “action-packed and surrealistic.” PopMatters previously premiered the video for “Heart Slows Down (Reincarnated Version).” View the video for “My Whole Life Is Over (All Over Again)” via below:
The philosophy of reincarnation asserts souls are born and reborn again and through karma, each rebirth potentially leads to a higher level of enlightenment. Aaron Lee Tasjan reckons this philosophy might also apply to songs. The tunes he wrote for his 2018 studio album Karma for Cheap began as quiet meditations, written acoustically. They were given new life when he and his joyfully loud rock ‘n’ roll band performed them electrically on the road. He took that band into the studio, resulting in Karma for Cheap, a collection that was named an “Album of the Year” for 2018 by multiple outlets. Rolling Stone Country called it a “power pop gem” and described it as “Supertramp-sized prog-pop meets Supergrass-worthy slink” while the Nashville Scene said “There’s not a wasted second on it. Tasjan creates what may be the greatest power-pop record ever cut in Nashville.” Always a searcher, Tasjan decided to take these same songs through one more life cycle, this time stripping back production, allowing listeners to experience the songs in a fresh new light. Karma for Cheap: Reincarnated was recorded in Nashville, TN with Tasjan’s friend, the producer/songwriter/artist Patrick Damphier.
Commenting on the new version of Karma for Cheap, Tasjan says “It seems like everything is getting a second look these days. In a time where everything from news cycles to songs come and go quickly, a second look at them in a new context offers us the opportunity to consider what there is we may have missed the first time around.”
Tasjan has also announced his initial tour dates in support of Karma for Cheap: Reincarnated, launching October 8th in Seattle, WA. Prior to the tour, Tasjan will celebrate the album release with an appearance at Lightning 100’s Free Outdoor Concert Series “Live On The Green” held at Public Square Park in Nashville, TN on August 31st. He will also be making multiple appearances at the Americanafest in Nashville, TN in September. Please see all dates below.
Karma for Cheap: Reincarnated will be available across digital retailers and limited edition compact disc available at live shows and independent retail. It is available for pre-order now via New West Records.

Lancia rules Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court
Motoring, Sports
Motor enthusiasts descended on Hampton Court Palace in their thousands to admire what some people called “the most expensive car park in the world”. Enjoying some September sun, around 12,500 people flocked to the Concours of Elegance, now in its sixth year, to see around 1,000 cars around the spectacular gardens.
More than 60 of the world’s rarest cars were in the running for the honour of Best in Show which went to the Lancia Astura Aerodinamico Castagna. The quality of cars this year was such that even be invited was an achievement in itself. Among the star attractions was the first car ever to emerge from coachbuilders, Frua, the Fiat 1100 Frua Spider and the Bugatti Type 57C Atalante Rollback.
The Royal Automobile Club presented HRH Prince Michael of Kent with the Spirit of Motoring Award for all he has done for the world of classic cars and motorsport, including his role as patron of Concours of Elegance. Winner of the ‘Spirit of the Tour’ – contested by cars on the pre-Concours Tour of Wessex – was Peter Briggs and the Bentley 3-Litre Le Mans, the first ever Bentley to race at Le Mans in 1923.
Outside of the main Concours of Elegance cars, nearly 1000 other models were there, including some of the finest examples from the UK’s most prestigious car clubs. A panel of expert judges, including Prince Michael, chose a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Taj Mahal, originally owned by the Maharaja of Nabha, as winner of the RAC Club Trophy.
Nearly 80 historic Jaguars were on display on the Saturday, competing for the Jaguar Land Rover Classic Trophy. Led by Jaguar Land Rover Classic Director Tim Hannig, a panel of judges overwhelmingly decided the car they would most want to take home was a 1938 SS Jaguar 2.5-litre Drophead Coupe.
On the Sunday more than 60 Bentleys arrived in the gardens, ranging from the pre-war grand prix cars to some of Bentley’s very latest Continental models. A judging team of Bentley experts carefully assessed every model before awarding the Bentley Trophy to a Bentley Mk6 James Young, recently the subject of a full restoration.

Their story began in October 1946, when a young man named Stu Rubin returned to his hometown of New Bern, North Carolina, to repair an old, abandoned house he had purchased. Thirty-one-year-old Stu had recently returned home from fighting in World War II. With just his guitar and an old hound dog named Clementine for company, Stu was feeling kind of lonely when 29-year-old Abbey Lunney, his former lover, showed up at his door.
Stu and Abbey first met fourteen years ago in New Bern and had a brief summer romance before Abbey moved away with her family. Abbey’s wealthy parents did not think that Stu, a poor lumberyard worker, was a suitable match for her. After finding out that Stu was single, Abbey admitted that she was engaged to a man named Nicolas and would be married in three weeks. Stu invited Abbey to stay for a crab dinner. When they went down to the dock to look in the crab cages, they see the message “Stu loves Abbey” that Stu had carved into the dock fourteen years ago.
Later, Abbey's fiancé Nicolas, a lawyer, attempted to call her many times at her hotel, but she ignored him. After visiting an art gallery and rediscovering her love for painting, Abbey met Stu at the river and the two paddled a canoe to a small, peaceful lake filled with geese and swans. It began to rain as they headed back to Stu's house, and they were soaked by the time they reached it. Stu gave Abbey some of his dry clothes to wear, and the two warmed themselves in front of the fire and shared a drink. Stu told Abbey that he still loved her, and the two rekindled their romance with some hot, steamy hand-holding.
Next day, they kissed and embraced one more time, and Abbey drove back to the hotel where she was staying. When Abbey arrived in the parking lot, she noticed Nicolas' car parked there. Before going out to meet him, she read the very last letter that Stu wrote to her professing his love and promising to always cherish the memories that they had together. After reading the letter three times, Abbey got out of the car to go speak to Nicolas. It was not revealed what she said to him or which man she ultimately chose to stay with.

A Very Unique Race
online magazine presents
By Diane Martin
photos by Michael Thomas and Diane Martin
10/12/19 – Warren, PA
I missed the family reunion, my choice, since in April I had made the decision to travel back east during the full autumn foliage to my old digs and to visit family and friends. That would be western Pennsylvania with its rolling Allegheny hills and generally breathtaking colors during early October. Fall was the season I missed most since moving to the Pacific Northwest.
After choosing my flight dates, I set about seeking a race in that area while I was visiting. Low and behold the Warren, PA YMCA featured a half marathon called the Super Kwik. Warren was about a 40 minute drive from my old hometown and about mid-way from Erie, PA where I would visit my son and daughter-in-law.
After spending several days visiting relatives in my hometown of Bradford, PA, my sister and I traveled from there to Warren. During a glorious sunny day we stopped to take pictures along the route. Most of the race was in the area of the Allegheny National Forest, the flooded Kinzua Reservoir, and the Kinzua Dam. The Dam was completed in 1965 following years of controversy involving the Seneca Indians whose ancestral lands were being flooded (see Lake of Betrayal: The Story of the Kinzua Dam) .
Later that day I met Chris Dolan, race director, who provided me with a map of the course and tips of what to expect along the way. This was the 21st anniversary of the race with 70 individuals signed up so far.
To bed early but with race jitters giving me just a few hours of shut eye. I met my son and daughter-in-law at the hotel breakfast bar. They drove me to the meet area at the YMCA. It was a chilly/rainy morning with the normal assortment of dressed runners; jackets, gloves and hats versus shorts and singlets! Bidding goodbye to well wishers, we were driven to the start area on two buses. Kinzua Beach was very familiar to me; I brought my children here many moons ago to splash in the Allegheny waters. It was also a favorite hiking area for my husband and me.
No fancy start, just a yell and an orange flag sent us off to State Route 59. It was a surprise that there were no safety cones that separated us from traffic. We had to be careful to stay on the berm facing traffic which thankfully was light at 9am.
The first mile took us across Cornplanter Bridge named after the famous Seneca Indian leader whose statue now faces the Kinzua Reservoir. Three additional miles brought us to the Kinzua Dam. Almost a half mile in length, it is one of the largest dams east of the Mississippi and was built to prevent flooding in Pittsburgh.
What a surprise to see my son and daughter-in-law parked at the entrance but only runners were allowed to cross over the dam. I could hear the roaring waters to my left and view the huge expansive reservoir to my right. What a hoot to cross a dam during a race!
A sharp downhill S curve brought you to the Fish Hatchery and the waters of the Allegheny River on the left and the woodsy hillside on the right. I anticipated correctly that this 7 mile stretch would be lonely. Hemlock Avenue was a rolling, twisting, roller-coaster narrow tree-lined lane.
I lost sight of the tall red hat gentleman ahead of me and there were no footsteps behind me. Even among the raindrops the scenery was wistful. Muted reds and yellows assailed the eyes, while soft sounds of the forest enveloped around you. The up and down rhythm slowed my pace as I passed camps and cottages and worried about an emerging black bear from the hillside. I was happy no such encounter happened!
Another surprising detail were the 5 aid stations spaced at 2.5 miles each. A lone water master appeared surreal along the darkened stretch of land, but a welcome living being nevertheless. A small bit of water and a cheery send off to another lonely stretch of road.
A welcome sight of the old hotel, now the Eagles Club, came into view with just a couple miles to go.
A single Police officer stopped traffic as you crossed Pennsylvania Avenue and ran alongside the United Refinery Oil Company at the edge of town.
Single volunteers cheered you to the correct turn and onto the finish. What a welcome sight to see family members cheering me through a simple chute as my time was recorded.
Since I was the only 70+ old female, I happily accepted my 1st place win. Yeah! I’ve added PA to my list of race states. Now onto lunch and a nap!

Gibsons Documented
"Rosalie Gibson' writes;
"I have a FB page Gibsons of Old Jamestown and Louisa Co, VA. It's well documented and if you read the posts from the start, you will be clear on our origins, which are truly amazing. Henry Collins and Thomas Gibson arrived in Jamestown in 1608 and I have the family documented back to the 1640's, Jamestown area, and we were largely Indian by that early, early time."
Thomas Gibson arrived in Jamestown in 1608 and disappears into oblivion. He went to build a home for Powahatan after arriving, it is the last we hear of Thomas Gibson.
In 1640 Jane Gibson was born and was identified as an "Indian woman" in court records. It is documented in those court records she had a daughter, Jane who married Morris Evans, and a son George Gibson who died without heirs. How anyone can write this Jane Gibson is documented to Thomas Gibson or to Gibby Gibson is beyond my comprehension.
We do know that in 1791 Robert Wills made a deposition;
"he was well acquainted with Jane Gibson and George Gibson her brother who were dark mulattoes who lived in the County of Charles City and were free people; that the said Jane Gibson had two children named Jane and George Gibson and they were also free"
Later on in deposition Robert Wills testifies;
Quest. Will you please to answer the second question in this deposition more fully, you have in your answer to that question said nothing about George Gibson the elder?
Ans: I never mentioned more than one George Gibson, the Son of the elder Jane Gibson, brother to Jane Evans. [This George would be born about 1660-1670 - he can't be the George of 1656 records in CCC] If it be so expressed in my former deposition it was misconceived, I never did know any but one of that name. And further this deponent saith not.
Jane Gibson, the elder, may or may not have had a brother George Gibson. It seems clear she had a son George, who died without heirs according to the pedigree sheet, but it appears she did not have a brother named George.
Sometime in the mid 1650s to mid 1660s living on Upper Chippoakes Creek was George Gibson and wife Mary, called Goodwife Gibson. That is the first documented Gibson we have in the area since Thomas Gibson's arrival in 1608. Fifty years have went by. We do not know what happened to the first Thomas Gibson, did he go back to England? Was he killed by Indians? He is not on the 'Living and Dead' census of 1623. Did he marry into the Powhatan tribe and is the father of Jane and/or George of Charles City County?

Calloway Collins
This sketch of Calloway Collins, grandson of "A FULL-BLOODED CHEROKEE" accompanied the article by Will Allen Dromgoole on her trip to Newmans Ridge. See scan below.
This sketch is found in Wikipedia article on the Melungeons. Who sketched this and who added it to Wikepedia. Where did this sketch come from? There is more that a 'subtle' difference in these two sketches. Why does the second one say it is a 'typical Melungeon' it looks nothing like Calloway Collins? It says it was "Drawn from a photograph taken by Will Allen Dromgoole" but the above is the sketch made by the artist that accompanied Ms Dromgoole to Newmans Ridge.
On the Olive Tree Genealogy Blog, Lorine McGinnis Schulze had added to the sketch "Credits: "A typical malungeon" was published in 1890 by Will Allen Dromgoole, it found in Nashville Sunday American, August 31, 1890
Why does the 'Typical Melungeon" appear August 31st in Nashville newpspaper and 'Calloway Collins' whose grandfather was full blood Cherokee appear in the Oregon newpspaper two weeks later?
Did Dromgoole's artist sketch both of these? Is the second one the man Dromgoole refers to as 'King" in THE LAST OF THE MALUNGEONS
Indians of Hancock County Tennessee
Indians of Hancock County, Tennessee
The Cherokee Boundary of 1785 went through Sneedville as did the Kentucky Road [Wilderness Trail] as the map below shows.
I have not found the source for this nor can I vouch for it's accuracy;
John Reed Swanton's Indians of the Southeastern United StatesBulletin 137 of the Bureau of American Ethnology,Smithsonian Institution, 1946.
''Swanton reported that there were three bands of the Yuchi (Uchee or Euchee): a southern one centered near the present Macon, Georgia; a middle one near the present Talladega, Alabama; and a northern one centered on Newman's Ridge in Hancock County, Tennessee. The northern band were not among the Yuchi forced to relocate in Indian Territory in the 1830s. They were settled on the Qualla Reservation with the Eastern Cherokee band and allowed one representative on the tribal council. All deliberations were in Cherokee, which none of the Yuchi understood (understandable, since Cherokee belongs to the Iroquoian language stock and Yuchi to the Siouan one). After two years of feeling like strangers among the Cherokees, the Yuchi left and returned to Newman's Ridge.''
It is interesting though that the "Emassees and Malunjins show up together in Dothan, Alabama.
THE EMASSEES AND MALUNJINS
One tribe of Indians and a community of mixed breed Indians were unmolested by the whites. These were the Uchees or Emassees, kinsman of the Seminoles or Creeks, who lived at the mouth of the Emassee or O'Mussee or Mercer creek near Columbia, and the Malunjins, a mixed breed community residing some three to six miles northeast of Dothan toward Webb even as late as 1865. Where the Malunjins came from nobody knows; where they were dispersed to is the limbo of forgotten men. B. P. Poyner, Sr., father of Houston County Probate Judge, S.P.Poyner, was born in the Malunjins' community. Some of these mixed breed Indians brought milk to Mr. Poyner's mother while he was an infant. The Emassees were allied by affinity with the Creeks and Seminoles yet during all of Alabama's territorial and state days were friendly to the whites. Only a squatter white family settled here and there and lived in old Henry County prior to 1817. Save for these squatters there were no white settlers in Henry County at the time of the Creek War of 1812-13. The Alabama Lawyer: Official Organ State Bar of AlabamaBy Alabama State BarPublished by The Bar, 1942
On November 6, 1837, the Hawkins County Land Platt Book records the survey for James Livesay of 500 acres of land on an "Indian village on the waters of Painter [Panther Creek] on the north side of Clinch River."
THE MORRISTOWN GAZETTE
NOTES AND DOTS
Sneedville, Aug. 16, 1878.To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette :
Where the village of Sneedville is situated was once an Indian town. There are any quantity of flints half finished, scattered about over a wide extent in and around the village, showing that this was a place where they manufactured darts for their arrows, with which they killed their game. Many battle-axes, tomahawks, pestles, and remnants of Instruments and vessels of pottery used by the aborigines have been picked up in years gone by, so that now they are seldom found. Within a quarter of a mile of the court-house there is still visible a round-shaped knoll which may be a mound. It was once much sharper than it now is, so sharp that cattle never resorted to it for rest. It has been ploughed over and cultivated; and is now very much flattened.. I have seen many mounds, and am inclined to express it as my opinion that this - is a regular mound. Right here, allow me to say that I am in correspondence with the officers of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D. C, who request me to collect all evidences of these singular formations, and transmit information and specimens to them. which I am doing, and respectfully request those who have any Indian battle-axes, tomahawks, arrow heads pottery, or other implements or trinkets once in posession of the Indians who formerly roamed over this country as "lords of creation," to send them to me at Morristown.

Steal This Analysis Paper! Their face having a bike helmet to conceal their identification
ON A FRIGID DAY in January 2011, a surveillance digital camera captured footage of a man that is young right into a wiring closet during the Massachusetts Institute of tech. When in, he retrieved a laptop computer he’d plugged into the university’s network. Then cracked the entranceway to be sure the shore had been clear and split, addressing their face by having a bike helmet to conceal their identification.
Throughout the previous many months, relating to a subsequent federal indictment, Aaron Swartz—internet prodigy, RSS co-inventor, Reddit co-creator, and an other in the Center for Ethics at Harvard—had taken almost 5 million educational articles, including about 1.7 million copyrighted clinical documents held by JSTOR (such as “journal storage”), an electronic clearinghouse whoever servers had been available through the MIT web.
To Swartz along with his supporters within the “open access” movement, it was a noble criminal activity. The taxpayer-funded National Institutes of Health (NIH) could be the world’s biggest funder of biomedical research. Scientists are not covered the articles they compose for scholarly journals, nor for the right some time expertise they donate by peer-reviewing and serving on editorial panels. Yet the writers claim copyright towards the scientists’ work and cost fees that are hefty use of it. (the common membership to a biology log costs $2,163.) It is “a moral imperative,” Swartz argued in his 2008 “Guerilla Open Access Manifesto,” that pupils, researchers, and librarians down load and disseminate copyrighted systematic research to “fight back” against “this private theft of general general public tradition.”
Swartz had meant to spot the pilfered papers on file-sharing systems, free for the taking.
Alternatively, he had been arrested and charged with numerous violations for the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a 1986 legislation written with WarGames-style hacking and Cold War espionage at heart. Dealing with years in federal jail, the 26-year-old, who’d struggled with despair for a long time, hanged himself in their Brooklyn apartment in January.
Into the times following committing committing suicide, commentators angrily pointed hands at federal prosecutors and MIT for pursuing Swartz. But Michael Eisen, a fruit that is respected geneticist during the University of California-Berkeley, reserved a portion regarding the fault for their peers. Noting just exactly exactly how sympathetic researchers had memorialized Swartz by posting free copies of the articles online, he penned on their popular web log, it is really not junk, “It is just a tragic irony that the only real explanation Swartz had to break what the law states to satisfy their quest to liberate peoples knowledge had been that exactly the same educational community that rose up to aid their cause after he passed away had regularly betrayed it as he had been alive.”
At the same time, the 46-year-old Eisen had currently invested almost all of their job leading an assault that is frontal ab muscles status quo that Swartz had attempted to subvert. Significantly more than about ten years ago, he helped introduce people Library of Science (PLOS), a number of journals having a groundbreaking business design: most of its content is straight away published on line, free and able to be provided, critiqued, analyzed, and expanded upon when you look at the nature of real educational inquiry.
This radical approach ended up being made to undermine the standard writers of science journals—both nonprofit societies like the United states Association when it comes to development of Science, which posts Science, and commercial writers such as Elsevier, a Dutch company whoever significantly more than 2,000 educational games consist of Cell and The Lancet. In specific, PLOS (rhymes with “floss”) had been an assault on those along with other top-tier publications, whoever look on A cv that is scientist’s guarantee plum jobs and work protection.
Eisen and their other PLOS cofounders, the Nobel laureate Harold Varmus and Stanford University professor Patrick Brown, saw the subscription-based journals as anachronisms, hurdles to advancement that is scientific an age of big information. Documents simply simply take many years to get involved with printing, as soon as they appear online they truly are concealed behind paywalls, difficult to browse, and impervious to text- and data-mining practices that may result in discoveries that are new. Such as your satellite tv provider, the largest writers also bundle their products or services, forcing strapped college libraries to get a large number of journals they don’t would like to get the people they want. This past year, Elsevier reported pretax earnings of nearly $1.3 billion, a margin greater than 30 %.
If Aaron Swartz could be the movement that is open-access first martyr, Michael Eisen is its inside agitator.
People to their workplace are greeted with a bullet-riddled wood indication announcing “THE legislation ENDS HERE.” He shows up belated to our meeting clad in shorts, a backward Red Sox limit, and a yellowish t-shirt that reads “Vaccinate Your young ones, You Ignorant Hippie.”
Eisen was created in Boston to a household of experts—in an auspicious 12 months for the Red Sox, he could be fast to incorporate. Their grandfather ended up being an x-ray crystallographer, their mom a biochemist. As he had been around kindergarten age, his moms and dads relocated the household to Bethesda, Maryland, because their dad, your physician, had accompanied the nationwide Health Service and opted being an NIH researcher to prevent serving in Vietnam. “It wasn’t it was cool,” Eisen informs me. “It ended up being the same as, that thesis writer is what people did.”
Michael and their bro Jonathan, now an evolutionary biologist at UC-Davis, invested their childhood summers at their grandparents’ coastline household on longer Island, checking out nature. “I liked catching animals,” Eisen says. “I liked frogs and salamanders. A lot more than We have a frog fetish, We have a swamp fetish. I like being in swamps.”
Their Red Sox obsession apart, Eisen ended up being never ever most of a ballplayer. Mathematics ended up being their game. He had been captain of their county math group in senior high school and also won the Maryland state math competition. After senior school, he tripped to Harvard University intent on becoming a mathematician, but changed program after he encountered classmates similar to Matt Damon’s genius in Good Will Hunting. “There had been a few those who would make inquiries that could result in the teacher end lecturing,” Eisen recalls. “I’m able to think about no industry at all where being second most readily useful is less attractive than mathematics. Every a decade, you will find five problems that are fat have resolved and are also vital, and everyone else is merely completing blanks. From that true point on, we knew we wasn’t likely to be a mathematician. You don’t want to be Salieri to Mozart.”
He got an earlier flavor regarding the high-stakes intersection of technology and politics 1 day in 1987 whenever their uncle arrived at their dorm room with devastating news: their daddy had hanged himself. Howard Eisen had reported an NIH colleague for systematic fraudulence, and a hearing was held by the agency to that the elder Eisen arrived however the accused scientist would not. “I don’t understand what took place as of this conference, but somehow my dad left feeling which he ended up being under suspicion—something everyone else involved knew he was maybe not. But whatever occurred, it set something down,” Eisen had written on his weblog previously this present year. “I felt, for the number of years, that the faceless individuals on that NIH committee had literally killed my dad, similar to more and more people seem to think federal prosecutor Carmen Ortiz killed Swartz.”

Humans & Humanoids
A commentary on the status, biological diversity and antiquity of humans in the STAR WARS galaxy; and an attempted explanation of the human-like features of some other sapient species.
Humans & Near-Humans
Massassi Sith
Theelin
Vultan
Pseudohumans
Twi'leks
The STAR WARS galaxy is inhabited by several million sapient spacefaring species. Humans are the most numerous and dominant species, with apparently millions of major and minor colonies galaxywide. Most of these people are indistinguishable from the terrestrial humans (Homo sapiens), however there are also many galactic citizens who have minor physical features outside the range of human diversity on Earth. There is also an astonishingly great number of species that resemble humans in basic form, despite having completely different biological origins.
This page considers how these populations relate to each other and to the baseline humans. Some cases must represent a genuine and direct biological connection. In many instances the physical differences are just as trivial as the differences between human races on Earth with respect to skin tone and minor facial details; these people are almost certainly in the same species as modern terrestrial humans. In other instances the differences are slightly greater, placing the sapients in a separate species within the Homo genus, or perhaps a related genus within the same taxonomic family. (Those species would relate to Homo sapiens like horses relate to donkeys, or lions to leopards.) These species are examples of what biologists call divergent evolution which is "the development of two or more unique species from one ancestral species through the differential evolution of isolated populations."
In other cases the beings in question have a fundamentally different biology, despite having some features similar to humans. They belong to a completely different taxonomic class, order, phylum or even kingdom. (Eg. reptiles or plants which happen to have the same gross body form or facial configuration as humans.) Such species cannot be related to humans through a common evolutionary ancestor, Their existence can only be rationalised through more subtle arguments. The existence of these beings may be due to what biologists call convergent evolution "which is the process by which two completely unrelated species come to exhibit similar traits (either morphological and/or behavioral) by independently adapting to similar ecological and environmental selective forces." For instance this is the idea that explains the vague (and not visually complete) similarity of sharks and dolphins, which is a similarity aided by the fact that they are within the same phylum from the same planet. Some STAR WARS humanoids may result from a more parasitic and dependent form of evolution whereby unrelated species evolve human-like traits due to the selective forces arising from the environmental influence of humans. In other words, the long-term presence of humans galaxy-wide may influence the evolution of younger sapient species.
For the purpose of this page, I divide the humanoids (human-shaped sapients) into two classifications:
"near-humans" - as termed in RPG references, those which are close biological relatives of as modern terrestrial humans. Their similarities are essential and intrinsic.
pseudohumans - [literally: "false humans"] those which are biologically unrelated to humans, Their similarities are superficial and result from mimickry by either random coincidence, evolutionary influence or cosmetic surgery.
I describe example species and races as illustrations of the diversity and mimickry of humans in STAR WARS . This document does not purport or aspire to catalogue all humans and non-humans appearing in the canon and official literature. That task is be impossibly large.
Michael Dolan for reference to function of Vultan head ridges in TOTJC .
Arkady Hodge for observing the significance of Thrawn's red blood.
Dan Krouse remarked on the comparison between the eyes of Maul and Palpatine in Episode I and VI .
Jose Lucca of the USA's Environmental Protection Agency, for the definitions of divergent and convergent evolution.
James McFadden for information and illustrations of Gade Yedan and Mazzic.
Roland M?ckstein for the reference that seems to equate "Massassi" with a warrior caste.
Daniel Wallace for a reminder about the Zelosians.
It has been established that humans were amongst the first sapient species to develop hyperdrive in the STAR WARS galaxy [see eg. Essential Guide to Vehicles & Vessels ; SWAJ #8: The Gree Enclave ]. Corellians were amongst the first to do so, but humans were already present throughout the galaxy, which implies that they had slower means of interstellar transport for a long time earlier.
The isolation of pre-hyperspace colonies must have ensured gradual evolutionary drift from the baseline human population. In some cases, the new characteristics would be adaptive, suiting the people to environments that were slightly different from the long-forgotten human homeworld. High technology would lessen these natural selection effects, because technological humans dwell in an effectively artificial environment, but deliberate genetic manipulation remains a possibility. Drifts in the aesthetic instincts of mate-selection can also cause human features to evolve in an isolated population. Through these mechanisms the humans of the era of slow interstellar travel must have diverged in their genetics.
Racial characteristics, like the superficial differences between some populations of humans on Earth, should be obvious across the galaxy. With further divergence, the people of some worlds would no longer be able to produce healthy, fertile children, if they were somehow brought together in marriage. Thus humanity would be divided into distinct species, as was the case with the coexistant neaderthal and "modern" humans on Earth. Greater differences would even result in divergent genera.
The presence of multiple species of humans in STAR WARS has interesting implications for the setting of the saga. The origins of humanity are regarded as a mystery in Palpatine's civilization, and the tales are deliberately separated from terrestrial existence. However the genetic diversity of these humans requires that they have been spread throughout their galaxy for at least as long as Homo sapiens has been on Earth today. This suggests that STAR WARS is set in our future, even though in the narrator's point of view it all happened "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". If this isn't the case, then humans must have been taken from Earth by unknown agents in prehistoric times, and it might even be necessary to invoke backwards time travel.
Grand Admiral Thrawn is the most famous example of a people who call themselves the Chiss. They dwell in the "Unknown Regions", which presumably means that they have settlements on a world circling a straggler star that has ended up outside the main galactic disk.
All of the Chiss observed to date have pale blue skin, black hair, and red eyes. The eyes are sometimes described as being luminous, but it would be more realistic to suppose that the skin of the eye has a highly reflective sheen or is flourescent in red light.
In all other respects, the Chiss appear to be baseline humans.
One of the most interesting signs of their biology is the fact that Thrawn bled with red blood [ The Last Command , p.424]. If his blood were a different colour, then it would have been necessary to assign him biological origins completely separate from the haemoglobin-using vertebrates of Earth, and his huamn-like form would have been very hard to explain. Fortunately he bleeds like any other human man (and he appears to have vital organs in the same part of the thorax). Therefore it remains possible and likely that Chiss are truly human.
A second important point arising from the redness of Chiss blood is the strong difference between this colour and the hue of Chiss skin. Terrestrial humans who are albino or whose racial derivations make them poorly pigmented appear pale pink because of the colour of blood within their largely colourless surface tissues. Humans with skin colour other than pale pink must have strong pigment. The colour of Chiss skin pigment is probably significant. It may indicate something about their usual environment (eg. the ambient sunlight) or it may be a case of Darwin's "sexual selection" (runaway evolution of a feature that has no adaptive value except in the aesthetic preferences of members of the opposite sex, as in the bright plummage of some species of birds).
A final clue to the humanity of the Chiss comes from the suggestion of cloning Grand Admiral Thrawn, which was the fear or hope of many in Spectre of the Past and Vision of the Future . Either the technology of the cloning tanks acquired from Mount Tantiss [exposed in Dark Force Rising ] is general enough to work with a wide range of species (which would be a remarkable accomplishment for something to mimick an organ that is as species-specific as a womb), or else Chiss wombs are nearly identical to human wombs.
Grand Admiral Thrawn bled redly.
Spiker, one of Jabba's swoop hoodlums, shares Thrawn's distinctive physical characteristics.
The Massassi1 were isolated red-skinned humans dominated for thousands of years by the Sith. It appears that "Sith" was an exclusively Massassi culture until they were encountered and subjugated by exiled Dark Jedi. The Massassi interbred with the immigrant human Sith, thus proving them to belong to the same species. Therefore the Massassi skin pigmentation and fleshy tufts on the chin and brows are merely racial characteristics, and are no more significant than the eyelid structure and skin colour differences between some races on Earth.
The Sith mage (formerly Dark Lord) Naga Sadow eventually took refuge on Yavin 4, accompanied by many Massassi followers. Over time he used his powers to alter the Massassi biologically so that they became more physically strong and athletic, but less visibly human.
However it seems likely that other groups of Massassi merged with the general human gene pool after contact between the Galactic Republic and the Sith. (Even if the Sith Empire was empty after Sadow's downfall, the brief but violent Massassi attacks on Coruscant and other worlds could have seeded countless illegitimate offspring.) In the Skywalker era there are numerous individuals who bear Massassi-like characteristics, such as the fleshy chin tufts. They were rendered originally and most distinctively by artist Edvin Biukovic (RIP). In order of publication, examples include:
Academic Gade Yedan in X-Wing Rogue Squadron: The Phantom Affair . With pink skin and fleshy chin tufts, he appears to be a cross of Caucasian and Massassi. He was the first example in the literature. His nose seems flatter than the Caucasian average, but well within the range of terrestrial humans.
The smuggler Mazzic in the comic version of The Last Command . His skin is more blue-grey than pink and his nose is flatter than Yedan's, which may suggest a slightly different ancestral mixture, or perhaps a difference of health and grooming. (He cannot be pure Chiss, although the skin matches, because Chiss don't have chin tufts; Mazzic's eyes are unseen beneath goggles.)
Norym Kim in Crimson Empire II , member of The Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He appears to be another member of Yedan's stock.
According to some interpretations of the wording of Golden Age of the Sith #4 , "Massassi" might have been the name of merely the warrior caste. The reference mentions "Massassi warrior class", which might mean (1) "warrior class of the Massassi race" or alternatively (2) "warriors = Massassi, of the [anonymous] race." In these commentaries I continue to use "Massassi" as a collective biological term, since there is no other suitable name for the whole race/subspecies.
The shade of Marka Ragnos recounts the interbreeding of the baseline human Sith Lords with their subjects, during the period when the Sith held a local empire in isolation from the Galactic Republic.
Three possible examples of crossbreeds between baseline humans and Massassi descendents. Gade Yedan from The Phantom Affair and Mazzic from The Last Command , rendered by Biukovic. Norym Kim, member of The Imperial Interim Ruling Council in Crimson Empire II , described as a "human-like Myke."
Apparently another racial variation, species or subspecies of human. Eeth Koth, a member of the Jedi Council in The Phantom Menace is the speciment officially named as a Zabrak person, but Sith apprentice Darth Maul also looks as if he belongs to that race. Maul is said to come from Iridonia [ Episode 1 Journal: Darth Maul ] but the name of the planet may have nothing to do with the name of his species.
Both known examples are bald on the front and top of the head, and this may be a common characteristic of their people. Short horns sprout from the forehead and temples, although the pattern of horns differs between Koth and Maul. It is not yet known whether the different arragements signify differences of race, health or age. There is at least a difference of grooming: the skin is pushed back around the base of Maul's horns, like ill-tended fingernails stripped of their quick, whereas Koth's horns are covered by smooth, unharmed skin.
Darth Maul's eyes are coloured red whereas Koth's eyes are like those of a baseline human. The difference may be a sign of different breeding or ill-health in Maul, but considering Maul's other proclivities it seems more likely that his eyes are coloured by deliberate (and extremely delicate) tatoos. By the time of Return of the Jedi Palpatine had developed a similar eye colour. It is probably an idiosyncratic adornment or a result of disease, because Lord Vader had blue eyes when he died, despite being a far more advanced Sith than Maul.
In all other ways the Zabrak are indistinguishable from Homo sapiens. The horns imply that they're in a different species, but they might still belong to the same genus.
Jedi Councilor Eeth Koth is defined as a Zabrak.
Darth Maul is another horned near-human. He bares tatoos and his horn configuration is different from Koth's, but they may belong to the same or closely related species. [ TPM ]
According to the profiles in Dark Empire Sourcebook and Essential Guide to Characters , Han Solo's friend Shug Ninx was a human-"alien" crossbreed, which probably means that he is an inter-species hybrid. His father was a human from Corellia, and his mother was of the extinct or near-extinct "Theelin race". This latter group must have been at least close enough to Homo sapiens to produce a partially viable child, like the creation of a mule from a horse and a donkey. Like a mule, Ninx is probably infertile. Alternatively, the Theelin people might be a race within Homo sapiens, but in that case there would be no grounds for calling them "aliens" nor for official prejudice against their crossbreeds with baseline humans.
Shug Ninx looks like a straight-haired caucasiod human except for the reduction from four to two fingers per hand, and mottled skin patches, particularly around his mouth. These presumably are traits of the pure Theelin. There may be other minor Theelin characteristics which are not manifest in Ninx. The different number of digits might seem extreme, but it is well within the scope of relatively harmless genetic defects in baseline humans; whereas among the Theelin it would be considered a normal condition, and four-fingered children might be singled out for corrective surgery.
Oss Willum in the Tales of the Jedi series represents a race known as the Vultan. His body appears to be entirely the same as a baseline human, with pale olive skin. His only obvious distinction is the mass of fleshy cartilage folds and ridges covering the top and back of his head. These ridges don't seem to perform any vital function. They may provide fat storage or protection against certain kinds of head injury. It is said [in Tales of the Jedi Companion , p.103] that the head folds protect the head against some injuries, though this subsepcies characteristic might have evolved for other reasons. Interestingly, the females have fleshy strands radiating out from the head, rather than folds parallel to the surface. Such visible dimorphism seems likely to play a role in courtship.
On their home planet of Vulta they "blossomed" from agricultural feudal economy to high-technology civilisation fourteen thousand years before the Palpatine era [ TOTJC ]. By that point they must have been distinct from baseline humans. Therefore their agricultural prehistory must have lasted much longer, from whatever prehistoric time when baseline humans first became stranded there.
Oss Willum is defined as a Vultan man.
Zona Luka is evidently female, and the tresses of flesh on her head match the published description of Vultan females. Her skin is the same tone as Oss Willum's. Her feet have only two toes though, which is unlike unmutilated, undeformed baseline humans. More ridged structures are visible on her upper torso, reminiscent of what Willum has on his head. Her white eyes, lacking pupils and irises, may signify blindness (which is not an obstacle to a Jedi or Sith career).
Vector Prime describes the start of an extragalactic invasion by a group known as the Yuuzhan Vong. Their advance scouts have been infiltrating the STAR WARS galaxy for years (eg. Nom Anor in Crimson Empire II ). Transmissions for the galactic civilisation would not have been hard to miss for any travellers approaching the galaxy; the choice of invasion time was probably dictated by the disorder and vulnerability occasioned by the removal of both the Jedi and the strong central government of Palpatine's regime. The galaxy would have been unassailable at any other point in its history; the Yuuzhan Vong probably have less than a decade before the Galactic Republic / Empire regains enough strength to justify its usual complacency.
Physically the Yuuzhan Vong are human except for slight differences of height, mass and distribution of hair [ Vector Prime p.23]. They carry different values and culture, which are at one extreme of the range of human possibilities, but they appear to be the same in all other ways.
The similarity demands explanation. It seems likely that the invaders are indeed members of the same species or genus as the humans of the Skywalker galaxy. The origins of humanity in STAR WARS are lost in prehistory and the species has spread across one whole galaxy, so it is easy to imagine that humans may have colonised other galaxies in the long-forgotten past. If the STAR WARS galaxy is not our own then there must have been at least some intergalactic travel importing the species from the Milky Way, deep in the prehistory before the establishment of the Old Republic.
If they are human or near-human then the existence of the Yuuzhan Vong constitutes a vital point of data about the status of all human species in the STAR WARS milleu.
Nom Anor as rendered in Vector Prime and Crimson Empire II , bare and cloaked in his presumably living attire respectively.
The unified government of the Galactic Republic lasted over twenty-five thousand years, and before the final union took place the human population must have already been spread in stellar and interstellar nations throughout the galaxy. Some human cultures survived at least hundreds of thousands of years in the recorded past. Humans could easily have been present in some parts of the galaxy throughout an even older prehistory.
The pervasiveness and technological power of humans means that they cannot help being a major part of the environment for evolving sapient and non-sapient beings. Even if evolution ceased or slowed for humans themselves, due to their technological control over their surroundings, the mere presence of this species must have affected the evolution of younger sapient species that were not properly protected by the declaration of sanctuary worlds. For a low-tech species confined to its homeworld, humans are profoundly dangerous and a gateway to a literal galaxy of offworld resources. The ability of sapients to interact successfully with humans could become an important determinant of survival, prosperity and reproductive success in the less advanced species. Some species may evolve features enabling them to exploit humans in a directly organic manner. Others may be adapted for subconscious psychological manipulation of humans. Judging by the onscreen canonical evidence, many sapient species are adapted to mimick human beings.
After contact with the relatively resource-rich humans, the evolution of a species' facial features and vocal organs may have tended towards human resemblance, for the sake of empathy and communication. Within the species, those less able to satisfy with and communicate with the dominant galactic species would not be as successful as competitors resembling humans.
The Falleen are a reptillian species that is basically confined to their homeworld, although their youths habitually wander the galaxy seeking of experience and fortune (presumably). In terms of facial features and general build they resemble humans, but there are telltale reptillian characteristics: they are supposed to be cold-blooded; they have finely scaled skin; they have a horny spinal ridge.
Some of the human-like features are very noteworthy for a reptile: eg. head hair, a naval, and what appear to be mock mammeries (in the case of females). These features are almost certainly evolved to mimick and attract empathy and favourable attention from humans and near-humans.
The Falleen also possess potent pheromone glands that convey conscious communications between their own kind, but which have a powerful and compulsive subconscious effect on humans and (we can assume) related species. These pheromonal effects induce animalistic attraction and cloud human judgement.
It is therefore clear that the Falleen have evolved to become sapient sexual parasites upon humans. They resemble humans in erotic ways that are far from the normal function of reptiles. They prey upon reproductive instincts, and they become powerful in a way that is not unlike the non-sapient tactics of cuckoo chicks in the nest of another bird family, or flowers that are shaped to confuse and entice mating insects. The Falleen adaptations may have taken hundreds of thousands of years to develop, so we can predict that they have been visited by humans for at least that span of prehistory.
Prince Xizor exercises his pheromones to influence humans.
Xizor's neice Savan has a surprising number of mammalian attributes, for a reptile. These are most likely adaptations to aid Falleen females as they prey upon human males.
Another Falleen female, from Alien Encounters . Curiously, the accompanying text indicates that "Falleen females are visually almost identical to males; the most notable exception is that their spinal ridge is usually smaller and a brighter green in colour." No mention of pelvic structure or mimick mammeries. visually
Zelosians
This page is not intended to deal with every minor human-like species invented in the literature; there are better books for that purpose. One such book, Alien Encounters , includes one especially interesting example of a pseudohuman species. The Zelosians are supposed to be superficially indistinguishable from humans (aside from the colour of their eyes), but their entire biology is plant-like at a cellular level. Their origins are a mystery, but according to the published profile the Zelosians themselves believe that they were created deliberately by genetic engineering. If so then their natural mimicry of the human form is a matter of design rather than coincidence or long-term evolutionary adaptation.
Zelosians: human-shaped plants, according to WEG .
The Twi'leks are a hairless species shaped like humans, originating on the arid world of Ryloth. On their homeworld their existence is primitive and they live tenaciously in underground cities. They have been subject to offworld slavery for thousands of years, and the representation of Twi'leks in the literature suggests that most Twi'lek emigration is due to slavery or criminal involvement. Twi'leks are famed for their wit and cunning.
Thus they are a generally disempowered people. They depend on external forces, particularly the human-dominated greater galactic civilisation. This probably accounts for their more human-like attributes. Over the ages, those Twi'leks with the most human-like faces would be better at evoking empathy and successfully communicating with the numerically- and economically-dominant humans. (Proto-twi'lek faces might have been much different.) Likewise the Twi'leks that matched the physical posture of humanoid species would have least difficulty interfacing with conventional galactic technology, and the species would evolve towards a generally humanoid body form as well.
However some fundamental physical differences are retained in parts of the body that aren't directly involved in the use of technology or the manipulation of humans. The most conspicuous such feature is the pair of "head-tails", tentacle-shaped, prehensile, cerebral appendages sprouting from the back of the skull. "Lekku", as they are properly called, are completely beyond the scope of human brain and limb development, and would require substantial differences in embryology. (It is this attribute that proves that the Twi'leks cannot have sprouted from the evolutionary tree of true humans, unless there was some very profound deliberate genetic engineering.)
The sensuous lekku serve a communicative role among the Twi'leks, with a wide range of subtle and articulate body language. They may once have been closer to the front of the Twi'lek face to facilitate communication, and the present swept-back position may be an evolutionary compromise with the need for human-empathy via a humanlike face. Male Twi'leks still appear to grow an additional pair of relic tentacles under their chins, which may still be expressive. Obese Twi'leks develop massively fat-laden lekku, in proportion to their overall body weight. Infant Twi'leks have only short, bud-like lekku, making them appear more humanlike than the adults.
Twi'leks of various genders and stages in the life-cycle, as shown in Tales of the Jedi: Redemption .
With two examples in Jabba's palace, the Twi'lek females have fewer non-human features than males of their species. Most noticeably, females lack the fleshy tendrils seen on males' chins.
The STAR WARS canon and spin-off literature is full of examples of biologically distinctive sapient species which have converged to the humanoid form in terms of figure and/or facial features. In some cases this may be due to the evolutionary influence of humans. In a few cases genetic engineers may be responsible. Some species may match the human form by pure coincidence, and they would adapt to human-made technology easily.
Species which differ from humanoid form will feel clumsier with human tools, which would impede their propagation throughout the galaxy in many subtle ways. This effect would be analogous to the technological influences which render left-handed humans more vulnerable to accidents, giving them shorter life-expectancies. Conversely there are specialised technological niches which are unsuited to humans (eg. podracing, which employs species with suprahuman reflexes for the sake of bloodthirsty entertainment). Unless a non-humanoid species can produce all of its own technology or has compensating physical or mental gifts, its members are unlikely to be inclined towards space travel or settlement beyond their homeworld. This may explain the great variety of STAR WARS sapients which have human-like limbs and hands but vastly different heads.
The Cathar Jedi Silvar. Macus Kayniph, Black Sun official in Crimson Empire II .
In the novel The Joiner King [p.19], Princess Leia attempts to reassure Han Solo about his aging and the slowing of his reactions specifically. At this time, Solo is aged in his mid-sixties. His wife expects him to live 40 more years, or perhaps 50 if he takes care of himself. This implies that life expectancy for a human male is about 110 years.

The submitter apparently did not know about the much earlier ancestors of John Wilburn Hash as you will note.
"The Hash (originally spelled Hache) ancestors fled from their homeland, France,to escape religious persecutions. Not long after their arrival in the New World, they were faced with the struggles and oppression brought about by the Civil War.But with their Hugenot ancestral grit and determination they perserved and made their mark on pioneer TN.
John Wilburn Hash, Sr. was born Nov. 24, 1818 at Rock Island.His father was William Wesley Hash and his mother was Elizabeth Baldwin Hash.
On Oct 13, 1842, John married Nancy Franks born June 7, 1822 in White County, the daughter of Jesse Franks and Mary (Polly) Moore Franks.(Note added here by Doris Buhr:Mary (Polly) Moore Franks is descended from the Rev. Richard Denton who came to this country in about 1635.The Rev. Denton is considered by some to be the father of the Presbyterian church in the United States.Sue Montgomery Cooke has a wonderful website about the Denton Family.Denton County and Denton, Texas are named for a Denton descendant.If you use your search engine and type in: Nancy Franks Sue Montgomery Cook Denton Family, you should get to the site. )
The children of John and Nancy Franks Hash were:
Elizabeth (Betty) born May 6, 1843, who married John Bybee on Aug. 16, 1860 and died May 25, 1862.
Mary born JKan. 18, 1845, who married Byrd Gribble on Oct. 4, 1866 and died Jun 24, 1867.
William Henderson (Buck)Hash born March 3, 1847 who married Josephine Potter on Dec. 18, 1871 and died Jul 28, 1912;
Margaret Louisa, born Jun 6, 1851 who married Byrd Gribble on Jul 9, 1868 and (2) William Thomas Rowland and died May 5, 1928;
James H., born Aug. 3, 1851 and died Nov 5 1866;
Leeann, born 1854 who married William Trousdale Gribble on Oct. 5, 1871 and died Mar 19, 1925;
Tabitha, born 1857 who married Monroe Gribble in 1872 and died (date unknown) in Coleman, Texas; (correction:Tabitha (my great grandmother)died in 1937 in Waco, Texas. She did live for a time with her daughter Sidya Elizabeth Gribble Brown wife of John Gilliam Brown, in Coleman, but she did not live in Coleman at the time of her death. Also, Tabitha was married to Henry R. Gribble who also died in Waco, Texas. Monroe Gribble was probably a nephew of Henry R. Gribble not her husband.)
John Wilburn, Jr.born Sept. 10, 1858 who married (1) Mary Holly Mar 20 1892 and (2) Mary Chambers in 1902 and died Nov. 8, 1848;
Jefferson Davis Hash born Jan 10, 1861 who married Mary (Dolly) Miller on Mar 13, 1890 and died Mar 12 1938; and
George Washington Hash born in 1864 married Josephine Deaton in 1897 and died Dec 18, 1935.
These children were the parents of 48 grandchildren for John Wilburn and Nancy and these grandchildren were the parents of 112 great-grandchildren.
Much of John Wilburn and Nancy's early married years occurred furing the Civil War.So, raising a large family was especially hard when marauding troops were trying to obtain food and supplies by whatever means necessary.John Wilburn once found his oldest daughter Betty (young wife of John Bybee) confronting some of the mauraders at his barn. It is believed that she was pregnant at the time but notwithstanding, she had placed her body against the barn door to hinder the raiders. Instead of shooting Betty, they "shoved" her away from the door. It was at about that time her father came around the corner of his barn to see what was happening. He said to one of his nearby children, "Bring me the gun from the house."One of the soldiers hearing this, took aim at John Wilburn's heart evidently since the bullet clipped one button -- not more-- from John Wilburn's shirt.
John Wilburn Hash, Sr. died Oct 6, 1896 and Nancy Franks Hash died Sept 10, 1905.They are buried in the Hash Cemetery at Rock Island,TN. Submitted by Bob Roberts, Rt. 1, Box 320, Doyle, TN 38559. Source:Family records and legends."

Vitória + Vila Velha
Espírito Santo state
Espírito Santo, the small coastal state between Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, had electric tramways in three cities: Vitória, Vila Velha and Cachoeiro de Itapemirim. The first two are on opposite sides of Vitória Bay [see map]. Vila Velha ("Old Town") do Espírito Santo, founded in 1535, is one of the oldest cities in Brazil. Vila Nova ("New Town"), founded in 1551, was later renamed Vitória and made state capital.
Everything started later in Espírito Santo than in neighboring states and it was not until 23 March 1905 that a franchise was awarded to build an animal tramway in Vitória (which would be the only animal tramway in the state). The Empreza Ferro-Carril do Suá purchased three mulecars second-hand from Niterói and inaugurated a line from downtown to Forte São João on 11 July 1907. A steam locomotive pulled cars from São João to Morro do Suá [see map]. Siemens-Schuckert of Berlin installed the city's street lights in 1909 and the following year a local citizen named Antônio José Duarte formed a company to build an electric tramway. Duarte ordered nine motorized passenger cars, two freight cars and a funeral car from Waggonfabrik Falkenried in Hamburg, Germany. His company went bankrupt and it was the Banco do Estado do Espírito Santo that inaugurated the electric line on 21 July 1911. The initials "B. do E. do E. S." appeared on the front of the cars.
In 1911 Siemens-Schuckert began construction of another electric tramway across the bay. The Companhia Bonds de Villa Velha ordered two 10-bench cars from J. G. Brill in Philadelphia on 2 August 1911 and opened its electric line between Vila Velha and the ferry terminal at Paul on 12 April 1912 [see map]. A successor company, Viação Eléctrica da Cidade de Espírito Santo, purchased two 12-bench cars and a gondola from Brill five months later. The 8 km Vila Velha line ran mostly on private right-of-way and dirt roads. In Vila Velha it came onto paved streets, made two right-angle turns and terminated at the foot of the hilltop shrine of Nossa Senhora da Penha. There was a private extension to a military base at Piritininga.
Track gauge of both the Vitória and Vila Velha tramway systems was meter, but there was no track connection between them. The cars on both systems carried Siemens-style bow collectors.
Financial problems plagued the Vitória undertaking and another bank, Banco Hipotecário e Agrícola, took over its tramway in 1912. B. H. A. do E. do E. S. ordered two 12-bench motor cars and two 8-bench trailers from Brill and several 9-bench trailers from Les Ateliers Métallurgiques in Nivelles, Belgium. Electrification of the Vitória tramway was completed by 1913. The Cidade Alta route went both ways around the hill: cars climbed the spur to the cathedral, then backed down to the junction to continue the loop. The funeral car went from the cathedral to the cemetery at the end of the Santo Antônio line [see map]. In the 1920s Tramways Eléctricos de Victoria traded some of its 6-bench Falkenried cars to the Vila Velha company in exchange for its 12-bench Brills, and a new company, Serviços Reunidos de Victoria, purchased ironwork and trucks from Brill and built new cars in its shops.
On 27 May 1927 the street railways in Vitória and Vila Velha became the first in Brazil to be acquired by the U.S. conglomerate, Electric Bond & Share. The new Companhia Central Brasileira de Força Elétrica built a second depot in Vitória at Praia Comprida [see map] and ordered Brill chasses for three more 12-bench cars in 1928. Despite the additional equipment, CCBFE closed the cathedral spur in 1940 and took up the rails along Avenida Florentino Avidos in 1942 – eliminating the downtown loop. After the Second War it discontinued the use of trailers and rebuilt its passenger cars into uniform 12-bench models, which it numbered 40-50. It also acquired trucks and chasses from the tramway in Recife, Pernambuco state, which also used meter gauge, and built 13-bench car 51 and two 14-bench cars, 52 and 53. The IBGE report for 1957 shows 14 passenger motor cars, a baggage car and a line car in Vitória; four passenger motor cars, two trailers and a work car in Vila Velha.
Both cities were growing rapidly and CCBFE was interested primarily in electric power and not its tram routes, which were largely single track. It cut the Vila Velha line back to Jaburuna in 1959 and closed the Praia do Canto line in Vitória on 23 April 1963. The last tram service in Vitória, from Santo Antônio to Jucutuquara, ended on 23 May 1963 [see map].
After closure of the Vitória system, CCBFE transferred cars 45, 48 and 50 to the Vila Velha line. Others were placed in parks and playgrounds around the state. On 29 December 1965 CCBFE sold the Vila Velha tramway to the Prefeitura Municipal de Vila Velha, which operated the line for two more years. The last tram in Espírito Santo state ran from Paul to Aribiri depot on Friday night 15 December 1967. Car 42, which had been preserved in Vitória, was exhibited on that city's main square, Praça Costa Pereira [see map], during the month of July 1983.

However, Jio’s average revenue per user (ARPU) fell for the seventh straight quarter.
Saturday, October 19, 2019 – 10:34
Image: Picxy.com/dino_tinku
Reliance Jio on Friday reported Rs 990 crore net profit for Q2 ending September, marking a year-on-year growth of 45.4 per cent on a standalone basis even as its average revenue per user (ARPU) fell while both data and voice volume grew significantly.
It’s standalone revenue from operations was Rs 12,354 crore while standalone Ebitda stood at Rs 5,166 crore. The company’s net profit was Rs 891 crore in the previous quarter.
Reliance Jio has become the world’s second largest single country operator with over 350 million subscribers, the company said in a statement.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited, said, “Jio crossed the 350 million subscriber mark to remain the world’s fastest growing digital services company, and we are still adding more than 10 million new customers every month. Jio is not only India’s largest telecom enterprise in terms of subscribers and revenues, but has also become the digital gateway of India.”
Jio crossed Ebitda of Rs 5,000 crore with 41.8 per cent margin and is on track to achieve a 50 per cent margin.
The company said its ARPU stood at Rs 120 per month in the July-September period, coming down from Rs 122 per month in the previous quarter. Its ARPU fell for the seventh straight quarter.
Reliance Jio’s ARPU was expected to decline as the operator has been aggressively adding JioPhone users who usually subscribe to low-cost plans. This is the seven straight time that Jio’s ARPU fell, underlying low-paying user additions into its network. It means the additional users are not adding to the company’s revenues.
Vodafone Idea posted an ARPU of Rs 108 in the June quarter. Airtel and Vodafone Idea are yet to announce their financial results for the September quarter.
Earlier this month, Reliance Jio had announced that it will charge customers 6 paise a minute for voice calls made to rival networks, but will compensate them by giving free data of equal value.
Last month, the telecom operator forayed into broadband business by offering six plans to users in the range of Rs 699 to Rs 8,499, with bundled in router, 4K set-top box, a television set and content and streaming services under its FTTH service.
The company’s subscriber base was at 355.2 million as of September 30, as it added 2.4 crore subscribers in the second quarter.
Data traffic grew 56 per cent year-on-year, while voice growth was recorded at 52 per cent over last year.
The company is on track to achieve 50 per cent Ebitda margin. Its gross customer addition at 31.6 million and monthly churn rate reduced sequentially to 0.74 per cent. Inter-user connect charges for the last quarter was Rs 652 crore.

"It was about not being willing to compromise,"
states Daniel Wise when asked what the
motivation was behind building his own studio.
The Shed is a penthouse studio located in the heart
of Manhattan. The studio holds a racked Neve
8038 console that was previously owned
by the Kinks and resided at Konk Studios, and an
Amek 9098i. "I created this studio as a vehicle for
musical self-expression. Other studios
in New York have some gret gear and good
live rooms, but still make you feel like you
are just a client.
I want artists to come to The Shed and
feel as though they have escaped from the
outside world for a while to a place where
they have control of the creative process
and get the sense that anything is possible.
That's my job as a producer- getting the
artists voice out, letting them hear their
own thoughts, without interruption."

A shout-out to Lieutenant Columbo
Peter Falk died almost two years ago. He suffered from Alzheimer’s disease in the last years of his life. He reached the point where he no longer recognized people.
Peter Falk was best known as the Emmy award winning star of the TV series “Columbo.” I was a big fan of “Columbo,” and for me it was both sad and ironic that the disheveled, absent-minded detective lieutenant Columbo, who immediately, instinctively, with few clues, always recognized the evil perpetrator, reached the point in his life where he no longer recognized anyone at all.
When I taught research methods for political scientists to undergraduates and graduate students in the 1970s I found myself using what I called the “Columbo Method” to describe one of two ways to approach the research report writing process—the other being the "Agatha Christie Method.” I continue to use this distinction with my colleagues here at The Taylor Group (most of whom weren’t even born in the heyday of the great “Columbo” TV series—and so have no idea, typically, what I’m talking about).
In Agatha Christie murder mysteries, I explain, the audience never finds out “who did it” until the very end. The viewer is given clues along the way, building up to the ending climax where the murderer is finally identified—and all the clues along the way finally come together.
On the contrary, in every episode of “Columbo” the audience knows early on “who did it,” through the wily instincts of old, trench-coated, hunched-over, perpetually-perplexed Lieutenant Columbo. And then the rest of the episode is taken up with just how Columbo figured it out so quickly and ultimately arrests the perpetrator.
The research report writing process can follow either the Columbo Method or the Agatha Christie Method. You either build a series of findings toward a grand conclusion for the reader, or you begin the report with the grand conclusion and spend the rest of the time presenting findings that explain to the reader how you got there.
I miss you Lieutenant Columbo, but I’ll never forget you; and I figure from the raised eyebrows and “here-he-goes-again” expressions on my colleagues faces when I describe the report writing process, neither will they.

Now the McCain Campaign is whining, "Obama is Playing the Race Card"
Raising a politically-explosive issue for the first time this election, Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) campaign accused Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) this morning of invoking the specter of race in order to bolster his electoral prospects.
The charge came in reaction to comments the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee had made at three separate stops in Missouri Wednesday, where Obama suggested Republicans were trying to scare voters away from him.
"So nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me," he told voters in Springfield. "You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other Presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky. That's essentially the argument they're making." continue
Watch the Hardball clip below. Michelle Bernard and Bob Shrum sums it up perfectly. This race question is the question that the McCain, Bush and Company wanted to open. Obama makes fun of how the Republicans and McCain want to make him scary to Americans, made fun that he is not like the other presidents on the one and five dollar bill.
The McCain Campaign pounced.
My take is this, by opening this door the dark path is what the Republicans will go down. Also, to open this particular door so early, means they are concerned about their chances in November and that McCain can not hold his own on the issues because he is tied, deeply to the Bush Brand.
What will happen is one of the two, the public will turn racism's ugly head and ignore it, or it will drive a wedge in this country for many decades to come.
I believe that this country is ready to turn the page for good. Racism is this nation's ugly head and it does need to be buried for good. Is electing Obama doing this? No, but it is a symbolism of change in this country. Change that any person or gender can become the next President of the United States. Change that the United States of America is ready to move forward and not backwards.
Lastly, John McCain is not calling the shots in own campaign and thus he has been relegated to going down a very dangerous path here, one I did not expect him to take. I don't believe he is very proud of these ads, or making race an issue. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) even said that McCain can not be proud of his ads or how his campaign is being run. She phoned into MSNBC and stated the following:
“Some Bush-Rove guys have gotten in the back room and hijacked his campaign,” McCaskill asserted on MSNBC. “And they think that they can actually win the White House right now in America by doing nothing but trying to put down Barack Obama? I think they are really underestimating the American people.”
What will John McCain do for this country? What are his plans? So, far he seems consumed with Barack Obama and what he will do. What kind of leadership is that? Is McCain even a leader? But more importantly, do we want this back in the White House?
Yes, the LOW ROAD EXPRESS
The Obama Campaign launched a new website, aptly titled, "LowRoadExpress.com". A factchecker website for all the ridiculous B.S. that is being trashed around right now. When in doubt, find it out.
The Obama campaign already has a page on its Web site dedicated to debunking attacks from viral e-mails and other sources called, “Fight The Smears.” Plouffe clarified that this new site would be solely used to “correct mistruths” coming directly from the McCain campaign.
Aides also emphasized that even some Republicans are questioning McCain’s tone and tactics. Susan Eisenhower, president of the Eisenhower Group (and Ike’s granddaughter), added, “These kind of comments and innuendos have no place in a presidential campaign of this importance.”
On the ‘Celeb’ ad, Plouffe slammed the McCain campaign for its negative turn and called McCain’s latest ad “frivolous,” while claiming that he has abandoned issues for rhetoric.
"What he’s offering voters is increasingly harsh character attacks … I think voters did expect different from John McCain,” Plouffe said. He also suggested McCain’s negative strategy would harm his image among independents.
"The road he’s on right now, he’s going to quickly erode that political capital, which is very hard capital to build up,” Plouffe said. “He seems to sink to new lows everyday."

You Have Got to See This
AmericaBlog linked to this, and it is unbelievable. Look what these dolphins have learned to do.
There are two things here. First, it is incredible that any dolphin is able to create the bubble-rings that you see in this video, it seems impossible to blow bubbles that cohere and don't float away. But the second thing is more impressive to me, the fact that they are able to learn the technique from one another.
And tell me, are they having fun, or what?
posted by JimK at 9:49 PM
CALGARY, Alberta (March 17) - Former President George W. Bush said on Tuesday that he won't criticize Barack Obama because the new U.S. president "deserves my silence," and said he plans to write a book about the 12 toughest decisions he made in office.
"I'm not going to spend my time criticizing him. There are plenty of critics in the arena," Bush said. "He deserves my silence."
Bush said he wants Obama to succeed and said it's important that he has that support.
"I love my country a lot more than I love politics," Bush said. "I think it is essential that he be helped in office."
Anon, are you alleging that Bush is smarter than a dolphin?
How about Obama?
He owns 80% of AIG and can't stop his company from paying 165 million in bonuses to guys who dstroyed it.
Not exactly his most stellar moment.
Bush bought 50% of AIG and left it and the rest of the economy sinking in the mud. Those bonues were allowed under Bush's watch.
AIG chairman inherits retention bonus mess By JIM KUHNHENN, AP
posted: 5 MINUTES AGO
WASHINGTON -Edward M. Liddy, chairman and CEO of American International Group Inc. since last fall, has become the reluctant defender of princely employee bonuses that members of Congress — and much of the American public — find indefensible.
AIG, the giant insurance company that has received $170 billion in government assistance, is paying more than $200 million in bonuses to keep employees from fleeing its troubled financial products division. On Wednesday, Liddy was to pull up a chair at a congressional witness table and take the heat.
The retention payments — ranging from $1,000 to nearly $6.5 million — were not his idea. Liddy himself is not getting a bonus. The deals were cut early last year, long before then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson asked Liddy to take over the company.
"I do not like these arrangements and find it distasteful and difficult to recommend to you that we must proceed with them," Liddy wrote to the current treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, over the weekend...
Watch Obama do all he can to reign them in so we'll have more news like this:
Markets rallied again Tuesday after a surprisingly strong report on home construction and building permit applications. The Dow jumped 2.5 percent, while the broader S&P 500 increased more than 3 percent. Since the rally began last week, the Dow is up 849 points, or 13 percent.
Activists Respond to Pope’s Criticism of Condoms
Activists, doctors, politicians and even officials within the Catholic Church are speaking out against a statement by Pope Benedict XVI, who said during a recent trip to Africa that using condoms in the global fight against AIDS only made the epidemic worse by encouraging sexual behavior, Reuters reports.
“My reaction is that this represents a major step backwards in terms of global health education, is entirely counterproductive and is likely to lead to increases in HIV infection in Africa and elsewhere,” said Quentin Sattentau, professor of immunology at Britain’s Oxford University. “There is a large body of published evidence demonstrating that condom use reduces the risk of acquiring HIV infection but does not lead to increased sexual activity.”
The Vatican defended Benedict’s criticism of condoms. Spokesman Father Federico Lombardi affirmed that the pope was “maintaining the position of his predecessors” in advocating abstinence and heterosexual marriage as HIV prevention tools. But others within the Catholic faith are speaking out against the statement.
“Anyone who has AIDS and is sexually active, anyone who seeks multiple partners, must protect others and themselves,” said Hans-Jochen Jaschke, a Roman Catholic auxiliary bishop of Hamburg. “So, no taboo on the condom issue, but also no myths and trivialization as if these put the world in order. Condoms can protect, but men often reject them,” the bishop added.

Cheeseman ‘a puppet’ in anti-Gillard push
Julia Gillard and Darren Cheeseman last year: that was then …SOUTH-WEST Labor figures fear their local member has cost them the next election after he publicly pushed for Kevin Rudd to return to the prime ministership.
Key Labor supporters have questioned Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman’s judgment after he called for another party leadership ballot, the second in less than two years.
Sources told The Standard that faction leaders, including Senator Kim Carr, directed Mr Cheeseman to take part in an all-out assault on Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s leadership over the weekend. Relations between Ms Gillard and the Victorian Left faction have soured since she took over the reins from Mr Rudd in June 2010 and now some powerbrokers have jumped to endorse the former PM.
Mr Cheeseman remained silent yesterday as tensions between the Gillard and Rudd camps were fought out in the public arena.
The factional manoeuvring has angered some within the Labor Party’s Corangamite branches, who contacted The Standard to voice their displeasure at Mr Cheeseman’s lack of consultation.
“It seems like he’s just thrown his weight behind Kevin Rudd at a whim,” one south-west ALP member said. “Factions are really wrestling over this at the moment and Kim Carr definitely has sway over Darren’s line of thinking. All this bitterness isn’t a good look and Darren is really feeding into all that ‘faceless men’ stuff that we need to move away from.”
Another south-west Labor member told The Standard it was surprising that Mr Cheeseman would walk away from Ms Gillard’s leadership.
However, he admitted the Prime Minister had not done enough to promote the ALP’s investment in duplicating the Princes Highway between Colac and Winchelsea, apart from a one-off press conference.
“It’s a slap in the face for Julia because the two of them were closely aligned for years,” the ALP member said.
Mr Cheeseman sur-prised many within and outside the Labor Party when he publicly endorsed Mr Rudd over the weekend for a return to The Lodge.
A former manufacturing minister, Senator Carr has been identified as a leading figure in the Victorian Left faction, a group which also counts Mr Cheeseman as a member.
Senator Carr allegedly switched his allegiance to Mr Rudd after Ms Gillard dumped him from cabinet in December.
Deakin University politics lecturer Geoff Robinson said the leadership quarrel was bemusing given Labor’s slim chance of winning a third term had improved slightly in recent months.
He said marginal seat-holders in both major parties had become less aligned to ideological leaders and more focused on those that have electoral popularity.
“The fact that a junior backbencher from a marginal seat has come out and backed (Rudd) just goes to show the level of concern in Labor caucus about their prospects at the next election,” Dr Robinson said.
“Last year, Labor’s standing was really in the doldrums but they’ve made up some ground this year.”

Atlantic City mayor admits theft from youth basketball team

Frank Gilliam Jr. Gilliam Jr. pleaded guilty in federal court in Camden, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019 to wire fraud, admitting he defrauded a basketball club out of $87,000.(Craig Matthews/The Press of Atlantic City via AP, File)
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Atlantic City’s mayor admitted stealing $87,000 from a youth basketball team he founded, becoming the latest in a line of corrupt city officials so long that it spawned a hit HBO TV series.
Frank Gilliam Jr. appeared Thursday in federal court in Camden, where it emerged that half that amount of money he took from the Atlantic City Starz was recovered from his home when FBI agents raided it last December.
He was released after posting a $100,000 bond with the court.
Gilliam quickly faced calls from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and other Democratic elected officials to resign, and plans were already being readied for the City Council president to assume the reins of government.
Gilliam told Judge Joseph Rodriguez he stole funds raised from donors in Atlantic City and Philadelphia, using the money for personal expenses from 2013 and 2018. He was elected mayor in 2017 after serving as a City Councilman.
“When a scheme depletes (a) charity for children, it's unconscionable,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Gregory Ehrie. “But when the fraud is perpetrated by someone the public trusts, it damages the community's confidence in their public servants. This defendant betrayed the trust of his community and of people who wanted to improve the lives of children.”
Gilliam’s lawyer , Harry Rimm, stressed that Gilliam admitted taking private money, not public funds. That sets him somewhat apart from a long line of his corrupt predecessors, dating back to the turn-of-the-century Atlantic City officials whose malfeasance was chronicled in the HBO series “Boardwalk Empire.”
“Mr. Gilliam, who is a lifelong resident of Atlantic City, has admitted his wrongful conduct, is accepting responsibility for his actions and is genuinely remorseful," Rimm said in a statement issued after the court appearance.
U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said Gilliam solicited donations while a member of the City Council and then as mayor under the false pretense that they were for the youth basketball team or for school supplies for poor children.
In reality, the prosecutor said, Gilliam used the money for personal expenses including luxury clothing, expensive meals, and trips.
In a speech several hours after Gilliam’s guilty plea, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy called on the mayor to resign, calling his conduct “despicable.”
The city remains under state supervision due to its chronic budgeting and other problems.
"Atlantic City is a strong and resilient community that is on the rise after years of stagnation," Murphy said. "This progress can only continue with leadership whose sole focus is on what he or she can do for the betterment of all residents of Atlantic City and not for themselves."
FBI agents carried off numerous cardboard boxes and computer equipment during a raid of the mayor’s home on Dec. 3, but they remained silent about why they were there and what they had taken away.
Gilliam, 49, could face 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 7. He also agreed to make restitution for the fraud.
The mayor left his home early Thursday clutching his passport, and declined comment to reporters other than to say, “Have a good day.” Surrendering a passport is commonly done when a defendant faces federal charges to prevent them from leaving the country.
As recently as 2007, four of the city’s last eight mayors had been arrested on corruption charges and one-third of the nine-member City Council was either in prison or under house arrest.
City Council President Marty Small was expected to take over as acting mayor, city officials said.

TV Worth Watching 1: Inspector Montalbano (Il Commissario Montalbano) – Italy
March 27th, 2013 dewelch
TV Worth Watching is a new series highlighting my favorite television viewing. I am a big fan of UK television, so you are sure to see many UK shows and movies featured here. — Douglas
TV Worth Watching: Detective Montalbano (Il Commissario Montalbano) – Italy
For our first entry in this series, I figured I would share something that is a little challenging, since it is not in English. All episodes are fully sub-titled, though, so you can still enjoy the series, even if you speak no Italian at all.
We were introduced to Inspector Montalbano by our Sicilian relatives when they took us to visit the city of Modica on our last trip. Modica is the real world stand-in for the city of Vigata where Montalbano is the head of police. When we started watching the series, it was much like watching television shows that are shot here in Los Angeles. We kept spotting locations where we had visited, buildings, churches and more. We also enjoyed seeing the Italian people and hearing the language again on a regular basis.
While we may have some personal connection to the series, Montalbano is also an excellent television show in its own right. The acting and writing is top notch, as is the production. The scripts are all based on the best selling novels by Andrea Camilleri. As much as I might like the English language remakes of various, international detective shows, it is such a pleasure to see (and hear) these stories in their original locations, with their original actors and language. We were so happy to find that it airs locally on Channel 28.4 KCET which is the home of the Mhz Network. Mhz focuses on international entertainment, especially mystery series. There are several other Italian series as well as French series, such as Maigret, which also air on the network.
“Inspector Salvo Montalbano (Italian: Commissario Salvo Montalbano) is a fictional character created by Italian writer Andrea Camilleri in a series of novels and short stories.
The fractious detective’s character and manner encapsulate much of Sicilian mythology and astute detective work. The original books are written in a mixture of Italian, strict Sicilian, and a Sicilianized Italian.
Although the Inspector Montalbano series of novels are staged in the Sicilian context, Camilleri uncompromisingly confronts many contemporary political and social problems. The novels were translated into English by Stephen Sartarelli. The translation of the Montalbano novels started only after five novels had already been published in Italian and gained popularity among the Italian-speaking public. The translator Stephen Sartarelli has attempted to maintain the mixture of Italian and Sicilian dialect in the dialogues. In addition, he has added notes at the end of each of the novels, which give short explanations regarding many of the peculiarities of Sicilian and Italian society depicted in the novels.
The name Montalbano is a homage to the Spanish writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán; the similarities between Montalbán’s Pepe Carvalho and Camilleri’s fictional detective are remarkable. Both writers make great play of their protagonists’ gastronomic preferences.[1]
Inspector Montalbano is an engaging hero – honest, decent and loyal. He has his own way of doing things, and his superiors regard him as something of a loose cannon. One of the strengths of the novels is Montalbano’s ability to navigate through a murky world, a world of shady connections and favours owed and owing, without compromising himself beyond what he can live with. There is a great deal of humor in his character, but the subtext is hard criticism of the social and political situation of both the Sicilian and Italian contexts. In fact, Camilleri has said that social commentary “…was always my aim. In many crime novels, the events seem completely detached from the economic, political and social context in which they occur. […] In my books, I deliberately decided to smuggle into a detective novel a critical commentary on my times. This also allowed me to show the progression and evolution in the character of Montalbano.” [2]
As the head of the Vigàta police precinct, Montalbano is balancing between the demands of his superiors and the realities of local crime and life in general. In fact, a determining factor of his success as a Sicilian policeman seems to be his ability to bridge between different cultures. There is the “northern” force, coming from Milan that attempts to standardize regulations and increase transparency. On the opposite side is the particularistic “southern” culture with complex webs of relationships that affect the way things are done. Montalbano excels at balancing between these two, while being true to his principles. [3]” — Wikipedia

"It's encouraging to see campaigns like the one you just had here in Ontario, where that was really what the issues were: how are we going to solve problems together again? And that is way overdue in many parts of our country," she said.
Speaking before a business crowd of roughly 1,800 in Toronto, Clinton said the controversial project designed to move Alberta crude oil to the Gulf Coast has become "a proxy for everything" as proponents and critics lock horns over its fate.
has said she finds the prospect of running compelling simply because it offers the chance to help Americans find economic opportunities that elude them.
"Right now, we're in a very difficult political period where people are talking about issues without listening to each other and they are very quick to point fingers and claim they will never compromise," she said.
"However this Keystone decision is finally made, some people are going to be very happy, relieved and think it was the right decision and some people are going to be distraught and even angry and upset, thinking it was a terrible decision," she said.

"From what I know about Premier Wynne's recent election, it was a very positive, agenda driven campaign on her part," Clinton said. "What she was able to convince people of is. 'We've got difficult days ahead but we can do this."'
Clinton has insisted she hasn't decided on a second bid for the presidency but over the course of her book tour so far she has made it clear she is giving it serious consideration.

The Last Rider. Ron Sexsmith
With 'Carousel One' Ron Sexsmith had entered my musical life. Better late than never it seemed. I just loved that record and now there's a new one already. The Last Rider is not such a big surprise, but certainly as good, pleasant and soothing as 'Carousel One'.
With 'Americana', Ray Davies' new album released last month, I am even pointed more to the commonalities between Ron Sexsmith's songs and Davies'. Say 'Don't Forget To Dance' and I have the starting point for The Last Rider. Beware, I don't mind the commonality at all. 'Don't Forget To Dance', a single by The Kinks from 1981, is a sweet song, full of nostalgia for a time long gone, reminding us not to forget to do now what we loved then.
It is this atmosphere Ron Sexsmith recalls with the music on The Last Rider. Another denominator could be the quest for the perfect popsong. It is a giant surprise when a song all of a sudden goes wild, like the outro of 'Breakfast Ethereal'. Where do all these instruments all of sudden come from?
Usually it seems a song is a vehicle to sing a beautiful melody. His sweet voice as a given, Sexsmith sings free-flowing melodies about love and feeling loved and maintaining that state through life. "These songs were hiding behind the door. I had nobody to sing them for. Till you came along". This lyric from 'Worried Song' tells it all in my perception. Love unlocking the most beautiful songs. Against all proof Ron Sexsmith shows the world that love is a far stronger muse than deep and dark depressions or misery. When searching for the holy grail of a perfect popsong that is.
This truly sums up The Last Rider. There is nothing else to tell. If you want to find beauty in music, how a musician and songwriter can capture just that in notes and melodies in the vocal delivery, The Last Rider is a must. Like the song below. If you don't get it, well what could I say then? Yes, it is sentimental, but that is the whole point, isn't it? It seems that with every spin of The Last Rider I like it better. It's time to start listening to older work of Ron Sexsmith.

Kyrie, a transliteration of Greek Κύριε (Kyrie), vocative case of Κύριος (Kyrios), on whose meaning see Kyrios (biblical term), is a common name of an important prayer of Christian liturgy, also called the Kyrie eleison (Greek: Κύριε, ἐλέησον, Kýrie eléison, .[1]

In Eastern Christianity
Τhe phrase Kýrie, eléison (Greek: Κύριε, ἐλέησον) or one of its equivalents in other languages is one of the most oft-repeated phrases in Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine-Rite Eastern Christianity.
The various litanies, frequent in that rite, generally have Lord, have mercy as their response, either singly or triply. Some petitions in these litanies will have twelve or even forty repetitions of the phrase as a response.
The phrase is the origin of the Jesus Prayer, beloved by Christians of that rite and increasingly popular amongst Western Christians.
The biblical roots of this prayer first appear in 1 Chronicles 16:34
...give thanks to the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever...
The prayer is simultaneously a petition and a prayer of thanksgiving; an acknowledgment of what God has done, what God is doing, and what God will continue to do. It is refined in the Parable of The Publican (Luke 18:9-14), "God, have mercy on me, a sinner", which shows more clearly its connection with the Jesus Prayer.
Since the early centuries of Christianity, the Greek phrase, Kýrie, eléison, is also extensively used in the Coptic (Egyptian) Christian liturgy, which uses both the Coptic and the Greek language.
In the cultures of East Slavs, its adaptation also gave rise to the word of gratitude (Russian: Спасибо, Spasibo) through a rough interpretation Save, God.
In Western Christianity
In Rome, the sacred Liturgy was first celebrated in Greek. As Christianity gained popularity, the Roman Mass was translated into Latin, but the familiar and venerated Greek prayer Kýrie, eléison was preserved, as were Hebrew phrases such as "Alleluia" and "Hosanna". Jungmann and other scholars conjecture that the Kyrie in the Roman Mass is a vestige of a litany at the beginning of the Mass, like that of some Eastern churches.
As early as the sixth century, Pope Gregory the Great notes that there were differences in the way in which eastern and western churches sang Kyrie. In the eastern churches all sing it at the same time, whereas in the western church the clergy sing it and the people respond. Also the western church sang Christe eleison as many times as Kyrie eleison.[1][2]
In the Roman Rite liturgy, a variant, Christe, eléison, a transliteration of Greek Χριστέ, ἐλέησον, is introduced.
"Kyrie, eleison" (or "Lord, have mercy") may also be used as a response of the people to intentions mentioned in the Prayer of the Faithful.
Since 1549, Anglicans have normally sung or said the Kyrie in English. In the 1552 Book of Common Prayer, the Kyrie was inserted into a recitation of the Ten Commandments. Modern revisions of the Prayer Book have restored the option of using the Kyrie without the Commandments.
Other denominations also, such as Lutheranism, use "Kyrie, eleison" in their liturgies.
Kyrie as section of the Mass ordinary
In the Tridentine Mass form of the Roman Rite, Kýrie, eléison is sung or said three times, followed by a threefold Christe, eléison and by another threefold Kýrie, eléison. In the Paul VI Mass form, each invocation is made only once by the celebrating priest or by a cantor, with a single repetition, each time, by the congregation. Even if Mass is celebrated in the vernacular, the Kyrie may be in Greek. This prayer occurs directly following the Penitential Rite or is incorporated in that rite as one of the three alternative forms provided in the Roman Missal. The Penitential Rite and Kyrie may be replaced by the Rite of Sprinkling.
In modern Anglican churches, it is common to say (or sing) either the Kyrie or the Gloria in Excelsis Deo, but not both. In this case, the Kyrie may be said in penitential seasons like Lent and Advent, while the Gloria is said the rest of the year. Anglo-Catholics, however, usually follow Roman norms in this as in most other liturgical matters.
Kyrie eleison (Κύριε ἐλέησον)
Lord, have mercy
Christe eleison (Χριστέ ἐλέησον)
Christ, have mercy
Musical settings
In the Tridentine Mass, the Kyrie is the first sung prayer of the Mass ordinary. It is usually (but not always) part of any musical setting of the Mass. Kyrie movements often have an ternary (ABA) musical structure that reflects the symmetrical structure of the text. Musical settings exist in styles ranging from Gregorian chant to Folk.
The original pronunciation in Medieval Greek was , just when the Byzantine Rite was in force. The transliteration of ἐλέησον as "eléison" shows that the non-classical itacist pronunciation of the Greek letter eta (η) is used. Although the Greek words have seven syllables (Ký-ri-e, e-lé-i-son), pronunciations as six syllables (Ký-ri-e, e-léi-son) or five (Ký-rie, e-léi-son) have been used.
In Ecclesiastical Latin a variety of pronunciations are used, the italianate having been proposed as a standard. Text underlay in mediaeval and Renaissance music attests that "Ký-ri-e-léi-son" (five syllables) was the most common setting until perhaps the mid-16th century. William Byrd's Mass for Four Voices is a notable example of a musical setting originally written with five syllables in mind, later altered for six syllables.
The Mediaeval poetic form Kyrielle sometimes uses Kýrieléis, an even more drastic four-syllable form, which is reduced to three syllables or even to kyrleis in the German Leise.

Return to Heroes of the Storm
Heroes of the Storm launched officially at the beginning of the month.
I played it extensively in Alpha and loved the game until they made a change that totally changed the game for the worse, at which point I drifted away. I heard from my friends that they rolled back that change almost right after it happened because the community hated it, but the spell was broken and I was on to other games.
Now that it's officially released and I know my progress won't be reset I started playing again. It's easily my favorite MOBA on the market. I've been playing a little bit each day to finish the daily quests and earn gold. It seems to be a good balance for me. If I were to sit down and play it for an entire evening I would get burned out, but a few matches each day is perfect.
It's the most approachable MOBA on the market. If you've ever been interested in the genre but scared away by the horror stories, then this is the game you should check out. There are no item builds, no last hitting, and experience is shared across the team. It has all the core MOBA things I love and none of the annoying mechanics that I hate.
If you haven't taken a look at Heroes of the Storm yet, you should. It's free to play, so there's no reason you shouldn't give it a shot.

Worthy Spinoffs:
howard dean & lou costello do outkast
California (Howard Dean does the OC)
Whitehouse Rangers
Howard Dean: California Love
Attack of the Dean Fighters
Howard Dean was a 2004 Democratic presidential candidate and current chairman of the DNC. On January 19, 2004, Dean lost the Iowa Caucus to rivals John Kerry and John Edwards. During the post-caucus, he made a speech that very likely ruined his chances at taking the Democratic nomination:
"Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin, we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York … And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C., to take back the White House! Yeaaaaagggggh!!!"
A few months later, during the launch of YTMND, the speech was quickly picked up and parodies came up. Early parodies did not require much effort, and just involved putting Dean's popular "whitehouse" and "yeaggh" into various other quotes (like Bananaphone and Stapler).
Later Dean sites after the relaunch of YTMND in 2005 put in much more effort. There were remixes of his quote (e.g., Whitehouse rangers and Whitehouse Busters. Others were parodies of Outkast's "Hey Ya", the most popular one being a remix of the refrain featuring Lou Costello.
Even 2 years after the fad was popular, Dean sites have been popping up along YTMND. Many involving remixes and audio fixes of Dean's popular "yeagh" quote.
His famous 2004 "scream" after polling third in the Iowa caucuses has been widely parodied outside of YTMND as well. [1]

Good turnout to see Forest outplay but settle for a 0-0 draw at home against Reading in their first game of the season back in League Championship Football.

yep yep. i think we're capable of outplaying a lot of the competition in this division with our patient passing style and speedy movement. especially with the signings we've made over the summer.
the thing that could well trip us up is the size of the squad. it is still too small as evidenced by our current injury crisis up front. this will absolutely screw us over if we don't sign one or two more players.
great performance against reading btw - no doubt in my mind we can easily compete at this level.
Forest move into the Second Round of the Carling Cup with a 4-0 victory against Morecambe this evening at The City Ground.

Just got back from the UK. Great time. Spent a few days in Nottingham and went to the Reading match. Great pissup prior to the match and we played well. Disappointed at the Swansea result but a fluke goal and a penalty-that-wasn't aren't enough to kill my enthusiasm. We do need to get someone on loan to partner Earnie up front. That is vital for the next few weeks. God knows when Tyson will return. He spends more time on the physio's table than on the pitch. We need 3 points against Watford.
Guy Moussi is so strong he can piss his name in cement!
UUUUUUUUUUUUUU RRRRRRRRRRRRRREDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSS
hope you enjoyed yourself over here!
moussi is an absolute tank!
ranny,
I had an absolute blast. Had to cram a lot into my holiday but I managed to stay a few days in Nottingham, it was great. I wanted to stay for the Morecambe match but the wife was having none of it.
I wish I could find a good cob, decent chips and some mushy peas in the States, but I've given up.

I think the size of the squad and the forward line may lead to a long hard struggle for Forest this season, i personally think they will be fighting relegation this season

The Jack Army is taking it all this year.
we've already shown we can compete against quality opposition. we beat wattford 3-2 earlier today and could (maybe should) have hit 5 or 6. i don't think we are gonna have any problems this season. having said that, this is the most unpredictable of divisions.
i agree that the small squad may catch us out at some point - in fact it pretty much is doing right now with most of our attacking and creative players injured. but thus far we have coped pretty well despite this.
to be honest i don't think any of the 3 clubs that got promoted from league 1 will be relegated this season. swansea are far too good to go down, probably one of the favourites for promotion in my opinion. doncaster are useful, and play good patient, intelligent football, like we do. all 3 have shown we can beat championship opposition. i think derby are going down, and there seems to be a general consensus that barnsley are going to struggle as well.

Wolves 5 - Forest 1
A friend who supports Wolves tells me it was more about them playing well than us playing bad, but from what I heard on the radio it sounded like we were awfull.
Who thinks Calderwood will make it to Christmas?
#11 ranny fash, Aug 30, 2008
^are you serious about calderwood?? he's doing a great job, you can't criticise him after ONE poor result! wolves will be candidates for automatic promotion, and will probably have one or 2 more wins of this magnitude this season. michael kightly might be the best player in this league - he ripped us apart today.
although we were dire it's true. the absolute last thing we ever need to do is sack the manager.
we need to sign a good defender i feel - preferably at right back. maybe we could sign a proven quality centre back and play wilson at right back, even though he has struck up a decent partnership with morgan at centre back.
#12 Pichi, Sep 17, 2008
Another loss and Calderwood needs to put a stop on the goals that the defense is coughing up as of late. With tonites loss Forest sit at 22nd with 4 points.
Preston 2-1 Nottm Forest
1-0 Youl Mawene (50)
2-0 Neil Mellor (59)
2-1 Youl Mawene (og 67)
Preston's Youl Mawene scored at either end as Nottingham Forest were condemned to a fourth consecutive defeat, going down 2-1.
The home side went into a commanding lead with headers from Mawene and Neil Mellor, but an own goal from the defender meant a nervy final 30 minutes for Preston.
But they held on to prolong Forest's 48-year wait for a win at Deepdale.
The omens were never good for Forest having conceded eight goals in their last two away games - contributing to what was the worst defensive record in the league.
And true to form it was Preston with the first effort on goal, but Darren Carter's left-footed shot flew just wide of the post.
Despite Preston's early pressure, Robert Earnshaw did manage to hit the target for Forest but his 20-yard shot was fielded by goalkeeper Andy Lonergan.
The rare foray from the away side did nothing to dent Preston's confidence with Barry Nicholson, Jon Parkin and Paul McKenna all having long-range efforts.
The absence of goalkeeper Wayne Henderson and defenders Liam Chilvers and Neal Trotman, who were all still out through injury, was telling for Forest but as the half wore on they increasingly found a foothold in the game.
Forest boss Colin Calderwood had given former Manchester United striker Andy Cole his first start for the club and the former England international forced a good save from Lonergan from 12-yards.
But Preston continued to create shooting opportunities with Carter a constant threat from distance.
His 25-yard shot forced Forest keeper Paul Smith to tip over the bar and Mellor's drive tested him again as Forest were looking increasingly desperate, and just after half-time Preston took the lead.
Carter was again the instigator for Preston and his cross found Mawene who headed into the net having evaded the Forest cover.
Minutes later 36-year-old Cole had the opportunity to level the scores but fired wide from six yards.
Preston capitalised on the miss and doubled their lead.
McKenna began the sweeping move when he drove into Forest's half and supplied Nicholson on the right.
The midfielder carried the ball before crossing for Mellor to head home his second league goal of the season.
But Forest were back in it when defender Mawene diverted Lee Martin's cross past his own goalkeeper midway through the second half.
Cole was replaced by Nathan Tyson and the striker almost made an impact but Mawene made up for his own-goal by blocking the shot.
Earnshaw should have hit the target with 10 minutes to go but he blazed high and wide.
And Preston held on to record their fourth win in five games at Deepdale.

I don't know why you think Calderwood's doing a great job TBH. He had a lot of money to spend last season and we were still streets ahead of you. And despite the money you've spent again this summer you haven't started well either. Although, like us, staying up this season will be a decent result for Forest I think.
Another loss tonite on the road against Sheffield Wednesday and Forest is now 0-5 on the road. Tonites lone goal was off a deflection on a shot by Etienne Esajas which went off of Ian Breckin with Paul Smith helpless to stop the redirected ball.

We need to turn this around ASAFP. Dead last and the prospect of another yo-yo year where as soon as we go up, then we drop.
0-5 on the road is a bad sign.

#17 ranny fash, Nov 2, 2008
finally starting to get some luck our way! Lee Camp is a legend. such a relief to get a point at the end of that one though. that has to be one of the most ludicrous 5 minute spells ever. i am of course talking about the 1-1 draw at Derby.
seriously, despite our league position, we have been playing well (unbelievable though it may seem). the only games where we have genuinely played badly were the Wolves game, and the Swansea game. our problem on the face of it has been inability to score while outplaying the opposition (this has been the situation in at least half of our games), and a defence lacking confidence.
well now we have a new keeper who seems to have inspired confidence in his defenders, and the whole team are playing better defensive football. additionally several key players have returned from injury (mcgugan, garner, earnshaw, tyson, anderson, the list goes on......). hey presto, results are coming our way. finally.
we need to grind out more results like we did today and on tuesday against crystal palace (2-1 win). when teams allow us to play our technical passing game, we will always beat them - we need to make sure that when they don't (and they generally won't), we have a plan b. we are now showing we can do this.
it needs leadership and mental strength - what we have been most sorely lacking so far.
JackBastard said: ↑
you need to give a manager time. it's difficult to really get accross exactly WHY he is doing a good job over an internet forum, but he really is.
the obvious part of why he is doing a good job:
1) players he has brought in have been of an almost infinitely higher standard than those he has allowed to leave, or were brought in by previous managers. this is very very clear! his transfer dealing has been excellent.
2)the standard of football being played has improved drastically. i do mean DRASTICALLY.
the less obvious part:
1) to people who don't see Forest play much this is not so easy to understand. he has a plan in his head. the club is evolving in the right way since he took over. it isn't producing incredible results overnight but there is a slow but sure improvement.
2) the club has an overpowering air of negativity hanging over it. has had for 10 years. this is much less so now than under previous managers, and you can actually feel it disappearing over time. it just needed a strong personality in charge to implement his will in terms of how to run the club. calderwood seems to be the one who can do that. i have to add that this is the main thing he has achieved - and might be more difficult for supporters of other clubs to understand. without this negativity and cynicism evaporating - the club was only ever gonna head one way. down. mercifully it looks like this is in the process of stopping.
i'm not saying he's the next brian clough or anything! i mean he's been known to make tactically poor decisions (a small understatement!). but instead of just trying a quick-fix solution, we now have a manager who seems to understand the bigger picture of what needs to be done at the club - and it's bigger than just buying and selling a few players, and changing to a new formation. none of our previous managers have understood this, despite the fact that most of the fans have.

The only team I can remember as a kid when I saw my first Euro match on the TV was Forest and Sheffield Wednesday and have been a Forest fan ever since, but there is a cheer that I just can't understand. It sound like, "See that shabah. See that shabah. . ." What the hell are they saying?

The only thing I can think of that sounds remotely like that is "Sheep, sheep, sheep shaggers..." which is something Forest fans chant about Derby County.
#21 ranny fash, Nov 19, 2008
it is "See that shabah. See that shabah'' and is a protest against the international whaling industry.

Good guess, here is the article announcing his getting the proverbial axe!!
Calderwood axed after Forest are humbled
Nottingham Forest have sacked manager Colin Calderwood following a 4-2 Boxing Day drubbing at home to fellow strugglers Doncaster.
The result saw Forest remain in the bottom three in the Championship, where they have won just four times this season since their promotion from League One.
First-team coach David Kerslake has also left the club and chief executive Mark Arthur said: "We`re grateful to Colin for his efforts over the last two and a half years, in particular for leading us to promotion from League One.
"But we`re in a results business and it`s imperative that the club stays in the Championship.
"We need to five ourselves every opportunity to do that.''
Speaking after the defeat to their fellow strugglers - in which they trailed 4-0 before netting two consolation efforts - Calderwood admitted it was his side`s "worst performance of the season''.
He said: "It was just one thing after another for us - we were poor with the ball and horrific without it.
"We have been doing well recently but you have to come home and do the job in front of your own supporters. We didn't do that today.
"We were certainly affected by the first goal and the second but it was a really bad day for us. But we will just have to battle away and try and come up with the results that will boost us again.
"Good teams produce a consistent level of 90 or 95% of their best but we were below 50% in the first half and got punished for it. It was probably our worst performance of the season but we know we have to be very good to get results at this level.''
Calderwood was appointed as Forest boss in the summer of 2006 after winning promotion from League Two with Northampton the previous season.
His first campaign in charge at the City Ground ended with defeat in the play-offs to Yeovil, with Forest incredibly going down to a 5-2 home defeat in the second leg after winning the first leg 2-0.
But last season ended with a dramatic promotion for the Reds as a 3-2 win on the final day of the season - against Yeovil again - saw Forest pinch second place in the table and automatic promotion.
Forest spent big in the summer, with Robert Earnshaw and Andy Cole among the high-profile arrivals, but after a promising start, they quickly fell towards the bottom of the table, and the defeat to Rovers leaves them 22nd in the standings, just two points ahead of bottom placed Charlton and part of a group of four teams which is threatening to be cut adrift of the rest.
#24 JackBastard, Dec 26, 2008
Damn, I was rather hoping he'd stay on for a while and keep you down there. Nothing personal, but we haven't won in 8 so we could still get dragged back into it.

NUMBER 64 SEPTEMBER, 1988
Scanned, OCR'ed, and proofed by Bob "Bacon" Bruhns WA3WDR
Rewrite Docket Deadline Extended!
AMers: NOW IS THE TIME
By Norm Scott, WB6TRQ
(Washington, D.C.) The FCC has extended the comment period for the rewrite of Part 97 until November 29, 1988, with reply comments due January 31, 1989.
Many stories have been published in the AM Press/Exchange on what would spell the end to AM operation. Some think it's poor operating procedures by some AM operators, others have pointed out it is because of hi-fi audio, and still others believe it is because some AMers have strapping signals.
We have never lost a docket battle for any of the above reasons, and it would be safe to say that if none of the above were true, our situation would still be the same.
The last black eye we received was over the novice SSB-only phone band. The FCC received 326 comments on that docket, and only 10 comments were from AMers. This breaks down to about 3%, which is better than the 1% the FCC thinks we have.
The demise of AM, if it happens, will come from the lack of support comments for AM. SPAM members number over 600 and there is no reason why we can't have 300 comments from AMers in support of changes to Part 97 which help AMers.
We will not see any better time than NOW in terms of timing, and in this time frame we have to organize an effective campaign.
It is VERY VERY IMPORTANT that we bring up AM issues NOW, because the FCC is not obligated to bring up the AM power issue before June 2, 1990, and they may just sit on it and let it go into effect without any comments. The FCC has opened the door, and now it is time for all of us to put our foot in it. This could be our last chance - let's not waste it!!!
In order to be more effective, we need to limit our comments to AM issues. It is very easy for AM issues to become lost if in your comments you try to save all of amateur radio. Many other amateurs will be looking out for amateur radio; you will be the only one looking out for AM.
SPAM has already sent the FCC 9 pages of comments on the rewrite of Part 97, which covers AM for novices, change of the power limit to 1500 watts carrier output, and have pointed out some of the problems with the FCC measurement standard for power output.
Anyone who wants a copy of the SPAM comments to work from, in helping to write your own comments, please write or call SPAM today.
Your participation in this matter is crucial to our success. There can be no free rides. We can not afford to kick back and let the same 10 AMers write our comments for us. If we do, then this is what will kill AM. If you care about AM then take the time, get a copy of the SPAM comments and write your own in support of AM.
AMers are an independent lot, who march to the beat of a different drummer. Our independence is a strong point, but it may be our downfall if we are not careful. If we are going to prevail we must stand up as one, just like the mode we love, each component is independent but all are in phase with each other.
Let me say something about AM that I have not seen in any of the stories. What makes AM so great is not the quality of the sound, or its ease of operation, but it is the quality of the men and women who operate it. You will not find any finer anywhere in amateur radio.
Well, it is up to you. If you need help or have a question please call or write. Please provide one copy of your comments to SPAM, so that we can support your comments in our reply comments. Also, I need someone who would be willing to go to the FCC docket reference room 233 in Washington D.C. and look over the comments for any AM problems that may pop up. Please don't delay, let's send them a message.

AM Activity on 7160
For the past few weeks, on Friday and Saturday nights, 7160 kcs has been a popular AM place, after the BBC vacates the frequency at 11:45 PM, MDT (0545 GMT). So far, a maximum number of four stations have participated. C'mon everybody, remember about 8 years ago when there were sometimes over a dozen AM stations, coast to coast, border to border?
Let's make it happen again! Forty has been excellent at this hour. I realize this is late on the East Coast (1:45 AM, next day), but you only live once!!
- K8MLV/0 EDITOR'S NOTE: This frequency may be especially appropriate now that Radio Moscow has once again been putting in a strong signal on 7290 khz!
Our manuscript tray at The AM Press/Exchange is empty! We urgently need camera-ready manuscripts of articles of interest to the AM community. This includes technical articles on theory, homebrew projects, equipment modifications (especially articles on upgrading the audio quality of all kinds of commercial and surplus equipment used by AMers), editorial comments, personal histories, human interest features - anything you believe would interest other readers. This includes photographs of you and your station for our "Meet the AMers" feature.
A Different Means of Remote Antenna Tuning
Bill Kleronomos KD0HG
Lyons, CO 80540
Here I am again, out of sync with the times. It's midsummer, near the peak of the sunspot cycle, and my hamming thoughts are about that perfect crisp January night on 160, you know, the noise level's down to S0, and you'd swear you could copy a wire scratched across a car battery in Tibet. Many AMers have been known to operate on 160 and 80 from time to time, and perhaps this article can stimulate the experimentally minded to try something new.
Many folk who frequent our two lowest frequency bands use some sort of shortened vertical, one less than an electrical quarter wave long which is brought to resonance with an inductor or L network. And, of course, some means of tuning this antenna to resonance is necessary to cover a goodly chunk of a band. If the antenna or ATU is a distance from the operating position, traditionally, a motor driven variable capacitor or rotary inductor, or switched components have been used to retune the antenna system. This, of course, is a major headache (and may explain why no one moves very far away from 3885...). I'd like to describe a means of passively tuning an antenna using no moving parts.
I'll assume that most of you know what a swinging choke is. Contrary to what you W6s think, it's simply a choke used in DC power supplies that is designed to change inductance inversely to the current drawn through it - the more current drawn, the less the inductance. This property is due to the fact that the core of the inductor saturates easily, by design. A standard type of filter choke has a gap put into the core to prevent such magnetic saturation from happening, so it maintains more or less a constant inductance regardless of the current put through it, but a swinging choke has no such gap.
All magnetic core materials exhibit a change in permeability as the flux changes, not only steel cores such as those used in the aforementioned power supply chokes, but also powdered iron and ferrite cores as used in RF applications.Suppose you are using a 160 meter vertical and resonating it with a series inductance. My suggestion is to use this same principle to vary the inductance of your loading coil as a means of tuning the antenna system to resonance.
Drawing 1 shows the concept how this can work. The inductance required to resonate the antenna is made by winding the appropriate turns of wire on a large toroidal core of the type sold to wind HF baluns on. This inductance, L1, is selected to resonate the antenna at the lowest frequency in the band operation is desired. There is a second winding on this toroid, L2. This coil is for the purpose of magnetically biasing the core with a DC current, which changes the permeability of the core, and therefore changes the inductance of L1 in inverse proportion to the current put into L2. So, if the antenna system resonates at a particular frequency, then increasing the current through L2 reduces the inductance of L1, and hence, retunes the antenna system to a higher frequency. By this means, instantaneous changes in the antenna's resonant frequency can be made - no motors, switches, or relays.
I did not intend this to be a construction article, merely food for thought. I cannot give particular component values or the like. I can suggest the following general principles. The permeability change of the core is in proportion to the ampere-turns of L2. The more turns L2 has, the less current will be required for a given inductance change. I'd suggest something like 100 turns and about an amp or two for starters. I also suggest keeping L1 and L2 separated as far as possible on the core. The standard cores sold by Amidon and Palomar are of two types, ferrite, and powdered iron. There are also other types of core material that might work better for this application. Amidon has an excellent catalog for the experimenter.
I am starting to experiment with this antenna tuning concept. Maybe it'll work, perhaps not. If anyone else gets one working, write it up in the P-X!
Note: Amidon and Palomar are both regular QST advertisers.
It's a STORY . . . it's a REVIEW . . . It's a TIP
by Master Jeff, WA1MBK, Mighty Big Keilbasa Radio
While doing some window shopping recently, I noticed that a new Radio Shack store had opened in this particular plaza. "Ah, just what the world needs," I mused, "yet ANOTHER Radio Shack store!" This was the closest one to my house, though, and for potential future convenience's sake, into the store I went to see how healthy their parts inventory was.
It appeared that the Tandy marketing staff in Fort Worth had set a trap for me. This store had some hooks, items priced well below regular price, to get people into the store; grabbers, if you will. Right in the entrance area of the store was a placard displaying these hooks.
It jumped out at me; it REALLY did. The Radio Shack 10-band stereo equalizer model 31-2018, normally priced at $79.95 (ouch!) was on Grand Opening Special for a mere $39.95 (now THAT'S more like it!)! Quickly locating a nearby phone booth, I frantically called the XYL, Pam, KA1QVE, and proceeded to beg, promise, plead, cajole, and do all those things that married men do, yet seldom admit to doing, when they want to spend some of the "mutual funds" on some new toy for the shack. Yes, my secret crazy money stash was depleted at the time.
We agreed (she dictated) that I could buy an equalizer for MBK Radio if and only if I bought yet ANOTHER one for our (her) home stereo system in the living room. I feigned reluctance, yet agreed to those terms.
To make a long story even longer, the equalizer works fine. There is in/out patching on the microphone channel strips of the MBK Audio Mixer Board - where I patch one channel of the equalizer. The other channel of the EQ is presently just a space. Thus far, the EQ has been immune to RFI. The cabinet is fairly well shielded, although I did wrap the AC cord on a ferrite rod close to the chassis. This was more an exercise of goodwill than of necessity. The EQ features a stereo expander circuit which can be switched in and out. It appears schematically to be a variable phase control and operationally gives significant bass boost in my set up.
Therefore, fellow AMers... if you notice a new Radio Shack store open up in your neighborhood, stop in. They may be pushing the same EQ special at half-price as part of their grand opening act of generosity. You would be hard-pressed to build an EQ that "equals" the model 31-2018 for less than the $39.95 special price.

An Antenna for 15
Byron H. Kretzman W2JTP/7
Arriving at a new QTH it became desirable to check out 15-meter band conditions, and local occupancy. While a simple doublet antenna might have sufficed, a little more gain appeared to be a good idea... A little more without too much more effort. Getting it up in the air involved throwing ropes over the lower branches of a couple of conveniently located pine trees. This brought it up to about 35 feet above the ground.
The antenna, made from #18 electric fence wire, consists of two half waves in phase with a quarter wave open wire matching stub in between the two half waves. Each half wave was cut to 21 feet 11 inches. The quarter wave matching stub was made from two #14 wires spaced 4 inches apart. Its length was 10 feet 11 Inches. Five spreaders were made from 3/8" fiberglass fishing rod stock. Antenna insulators, and the bottom spreader of the matching stub, were made from scrap pieces of printed circuit board, without the foil. Machine screws at the bottom spreader made it easy to connect one end of the RG-59/U feeder used.
Diagram of the antenna
While it might have been more formal to put a shorting bar (wire) at the bottom of the matching stub and top the feeders up an the stub, simplicity dictated the more convenient arrangement of feeding the bottom of the unshorted stub directly from the coax transmission line.
The results were surprisingly good. The VSWR ran 1.4 to one from 21.450 MHz down to 21.250 MHz. Below 21.250 it went up to 1.5 to one. Loading was quite uniform across the band.
Enhanced Modulation
By Wardell Smith, W2BRQ
What is "enhanced modulation", anyway? That's a fair question. The easiest way to begin the answer is to say what it is not. It is not ultra-modulation, the Taylor system, or any other of the exotic techniques described in the past. Enhanced Modulation -- a high-level technique which expands carrier power yet limits modulation level to 100 percent -- is a completely new approach.
The "enhanced modulation" technique actually performs two functions, as suggested above. When properly adjusted, it assures that all audio supplied modulates the carrier 100 percent regardless of the level; it also acts to expand the carrier level so that (by ordinary standards) the modulation percentage would approach 1000 -- that is, the RF power on audio peaks may be 10 times as great as that of the resting carrier.
In an ordinary AM modulator, overmodulation is prevented by regulating the maximum audio power, either by clipping or by some form of AVC. In the "enhanced modulator", overmodulation is prevented by increasing the DC plate power to the modulated stage, and using the excess audio power to supply the extra DC.
In order to explain thoroughly the operation of 'enhanced modulation", let's first review briefly the operation of an ordinary plate-modulated stage (Figure 1). Let's assume plate voltage (B+) is 100 volts. When the peak-to-peak audio voltage developed across the secondary of transformer T1 equals 100 volts, 100 percent modulation will be obtained, as shown at B.
Note that the modulated peaks of B are twice the amplitude of the carrier envelope A. This represents a 4-time increase of antenna power.
If the audio voltage across T1 is increased above 100 volts peak (say, to 125 volts), the oscillogram of the carrier will take the form of C, which indicates heavy overmodulation.
In order to prevent overmodulation and at the same time expand the carrier, the DC B+ voltage should be increased to equal the new peak-to-peak audio voltage. For example, with 125 volts peak across T1, if the DC voltage is raised to 125 the carrier will take the form of the dotted lines of C. This can easily be proven by making B+ a variable voltage and adjusting same.
Practical use of this idea is accomplished with the circuit of Figure 2 -- the basic circuit of "enhanced modulation".
Two audio channels (A1 and A2) are employed with a separate gain control for each channel. A1 provides the modulating signal, and A2 provides the same signal, which is rectified by diode D1. This rectified voltage is then applied in series with the normal plate voltage.
By setting the gain controls in channels A1 and A2, the modulation percentage can be set at any desired level. In Figure 3, the dotted line indicates peak-to-peak volts generated across T1 (channel A1) with different degrees of audio signal intensity applied to the input of the audio system. The solid line indicates the variation in DC voltage across rectifier D1 for different settings of the gain control in channel A2. If A2 is set so that the DC increases (as in Figure 3A), the modulation percentage will go down with an increase in audio amplitude. If the gain is set as in Figure 3B, the modulation percentage will remain constant at about 95, as the DC should always be slightly more than the AC. If the gain is set so that the DC follows the curve of Figure 3C, the transmitter will then be overmodulated at all times as the AC peak-to-peak voltage exceeds the DC voltage.
In standard plate modulation, where only the AC power to the plate is varied, an average power increase of 50% is the limit before overmodulation occurs. In "enhanced modulation", an average output power increase of between 20 and 30 times with modulation can easily be obtained, since the DC plate voltage increases along with the AC component.
When this system was first proposed, it was expected that serious distortion would result and that the rise and decay times of the extra DC developed in channel A2 would be too long for practical operation.
To prove out the principle, several tiny rigs using the hybrid principle (12-volt-plate tubes plus transistors) were built and tested. These rigs had initial unmodulated carrier power of less than 100 milliwatts and they produced modulated peak output power of 2 1/2 watts without overmodulating; distortion was in the neighborhood of 5 percent -- entirely acceptable for communication use. Reliable range of these units was in excess of 17 miles.
A 50-mc transmitter incorporating this system of modulation is shown in Figure 4A and Figure 4B. This rig uses a pair of 12K5's as a push-pull crystal oscillator (with a 25-mc crystal) and two more 12K5's as a frequency-doubling final. The final amplifier, since it's doubling, is not neutralized. A pair of 2N242 transistors in push-pull is employed in each audio channel. The RF section is shown in Figure 4A.
Figure 4A
In the audio chain, a 12FM6 is used as a high-gain amplifier for a variable-reluctance mike. The output of this stage feeds two gain controls, one for each channel. Each channel then has another 12K5, used as a driver for the modulating transistors. This modulator is shown in Figure 4B.
Figure 4B
Despite the rather unusual modulator circuit, construction of this rig is straightforward.
The prototypes were built in modular style, with audio and RF sections on separate chassis, to allow easy experimentation. You can do it the same way, or put all on one chassis if you like. If you follow the single-chassis route, be sure to shield the audio stages completely.
Because of the way it works, this unit has a few more adjustments than does a conventional rig. Most are in the audio section.
For instance, resistor R3 controls mike output. It becomes the main volume control; all other adjustments on the audio section should be sealed once they are set.
The two 10,000-ohm potentiometers (R6 and R7) control modulation percentage. R6 should initially be set wide open, and R7 then adjusted for 98 percent modulation. If you can't reach 98 percent before R7 is all the way open, reduce the setting of R6 and try again. Refer to the graph in Figure 3 for guidance in interpreting interaction between these controls.
The 5000-ohm resistors (R10 and R11) in each transistor stage are for adjusting the bias of that stage. The best method of adjusting R10 is to feed an audio signal into the mike input (from an oscillator, etc.) and observe the waveform from the collector of Q1 to the collector of Q2. The resistor should be set for the highest amplitude consistent with a clean waveform.
Resistor R11 is adjusted for maximum DC across capacitor C7 (use a VTVM for this measurement).
In all cases, keep the audio input below 5 millivolts to avoid overloading the system.
Tune-up of the rig is conventional, except that (due to the small resting output) a flashlight bulb can be used for a dummy load. Instead, use a 51-ohm composition resistor and a VTVM with RF probe; tune for maximum output voltage indicated. Most RF probes are good up to better than 100 mc, so the indication at 50 mc will be accurate.
Although this rig was designed for 12-volt use, the voltage in a mobile installation often runs to 14 or more This will do no harm; the only effect is that power output increases slightly.

Requiem for the AM Connection . . .
Shame, Shame! We're to blame!
There was NO warning. "THIS IS THE LAST ISSUE OF THE AM CONNECTION" read the blurb on the last page of the Summer 1988 issue of the AMC.
This newsletter was real. This newsletter was people. This newsletter was AM. Although not nearly as well known nor political as the AM Press/Exchange, it was just as much fun for us to anticipate its delivery by stalwart U.S. Postal Service personnel and then sit down and read it cover to cover in one sitting. It was MORE than just another newsletter, though.
The AM Connection was a labor of passion for Editor/Publisher Harold Storer, WD8MRE. Harold did virtually ALL the work in putting this newsletter together ... from gathering bits and pieces of dope to make up articIes, aII the way to paste up, mastering, copying, cutting, collating, stapling, folding, attaching the address labels, licking the stamps and mailing the 200 copies. You may ask, "What did Harold charge for a one year subscription?" Sitting down, faithful AM brethren? The "subscription", which you will see is actually a misnomer, was no-charge! Yup, ZERO ... you know, like the brain cell count of some of the SSB alligators on 75 meters. Harold set a limit of 200 issues per quarterly and only asked for donations ... stamps, IRCs or money. That's right, only donations. I suspect he would have even accepted an egg-laying chicken to be fair trade for a subscription.
You see, Harold didn't want to make a profit off the AM Connection. All he wanted to do was generate a newsletter that paid for itself and did not cost him anything other than his time... time, I might add, that he unselfishly gave the AM community... time that he could have been spending with his family... time that he could have been enjoying himself on the air.
I got in contact with Harold to let him know how sorry I was to read that the AMC was to become a thing of the past. I also wanted to propose that I would be more than willing to either take over all the work editing and publishing the AMC or any part, or parts of the process that he may desire to farm out my way. He sounded interested in the idea so we kicked around a few different ideas. Harold told me that he needed some time to think it over and would be getting back to me.
A couple of weeks passed and I received a letter from Harold stating that although he appreciated any interest in helping to continue printing the AMC, he was going to stick to his original decision and shut down the presses. Further, for several personal reasons, Harold requested that I not use AM Connection as the name of any possible future venture in the publishing of an AM based newsletter that I may start up. I decided, albeit reluctantly, to honor his request.
So another newsletter has bitten the dust. Another quarterly compendium of personal views and opinions, news, technical articles and shack photos will no longer be promulgated by the TRULY "free press", the AMC.
SHAME on those of us who said we were going to got some stamps off to HaroId one of these days, and then never getting around to doing it.
SHAME on those of us who never contributed an equipment review, audio modification tip, antenna project or even a Polaroid snapshot of the shack. SHAME on those of us who never even wrote or called Harold to tell him that we would indeed miss the AM Connection and ask him to please reconsider shutting down the presses.
Who knows . . . the AM Connection could be alive today if one of us had been benevolent enough to have shipped Harold that egg-laying chicken.
It's time to wake up, fellow AMers. I said, WAKE UP!!! As this is being written, many things are happening that will have a lasting affect on our hobby. The 1990 AM power restriction deadline is drawing near, the FCC has proposed a rewrite of the Amateur Rules and are RIGHT NOW in the process of taking the bottom 2 Mc of the 220-223 Mc band from us. If the vast majority of the 200 "subscribers" of the AM Connection are too lackadaisical to support that publication, I seriously doubt that this vast majority will bother submitting formal comments to the FCC. We as AMers and amateur radio licensees, ALL of us, may indeed be in deep faces. THINK about it.

Editor, AM Press/Exchange:
I would like to issue an appeal for technical consultation concerning an HQ-110 Hammarlund communications receiver. All replies will be welcomed!
I have components "frying" in the I.F. strip. Up a stump! I can't locate the problem, and no one locally is available to help, at 10:30 ZULU, or otherwise. I would like to hear from Hammarlund "fans". Good luck to all.

I have reworked J44 and J38 keys that have bakelite bases. First, wash in warm water. Then dry. Then use Armor All cleaner. Last, but not least, use the Armor All as directed. The bases of both keys shine like new. I've also used it on knobs. Works well. Try it on some old pieces and see if you like the results.

While not often a participant, I have observed the various on the air contests becoming a preserve of the well-heeled amateur. One of the major intents of contests such as the CQWW, etc., was the sharpening of operating skills, as well as the construction of more efficient and effective amateur equipment and antennas. This has almost been eliminated in this day, except, perhaps, for the construction of multi-kilowatt amplifiers, in favor of the expenditures of vast sums of money on commercially manufactured equipment.
Therefore I am proposing to the sponsors of various contests the following: First- that the points differential for power levels be scrapped. This goes back thirty years, and everyone these days can afford a kilowatt+ amplifier, as well as the cheating factor involved. This power level points differential should be replaced by a money spent on equipment points system to even things out in a fair manner. If someone wants to assemble a $50,000 contest station, so be it, but the guy with $1,000 invested in a typical station can have a competitive chance to win. Secondly, additional points should be awarded for the use of a homebrew transmitter and/or receiver. Thirdly, additional points could be awarded for the use of vintage amateur equipment over thirty years old.
The above rules changes, if implemented, would go a long way towards making contests a test of skill, instead of financial resources, and encourage the improvement in technical skills and construction techniques, which is what contests used to be all about, instead of the perverted parody they've become.
Sincerely, Bill Kleronomos, KD0HG

AWARD... The winner will receive a 1 year subscription to the AM P/X.
SCORING... One point for each station worked.
MULTIPLIERS... Each State, Province and country is counted as a multiplier of one.
BONUS POINTS... Real opportunities here... for each new station you work running ssb, if you can get them to try out AM during your QSO and provide SPAM HQ with the name and address of that station, add 10 points for that contact.
During this time you can also double your fun by also operating in the Fall Classic and Homebrew Radio Exchange sponsored by fellow SPAM member Jim Hanlon, W8KGI of the Classic radio Newsletter. See September 1988 QST for contest details.
Other than the Classic radio contest this looks like the only phone contest running during this time. Let's have FUN! I hope some of the members will be able to unweld their band switches off of 160 and 80 meters or find the plug-in coils for 40 and 20 meters.

NORTHEAST AM SCENE
By Bill Wolf - KA2EEV
NEW ENGLAND TOUR: Our AM Press Exchange editor and publisher, Don, K4KYV, recently made a whirlwind tour of the northeast during his vacation in late July. Along the way, Don made a few friendly visits to several AMers including Tim, WA1HLR, Steve, KA1SI, Dean, WA1KNX, and Charles, N2GII. While visiting Tim's place in Maine, Don and the crew were attacked by a swarm of savage bees. It has been reported that a certain someone among the group got nailed at least five times. I'm not going to mention names, but, his initials are Don Chester. oops!
BAGGAGE DEPARTMENT: Several northeast AMers, including myself, have either recently moved to a new QTH or are in the process of moving. John, W4KYL, formerly of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is already active on 75 and 40 meters from his new site in Pennsylvania. Charles, N2GII, of Mine Hill, New Jersey, is presently looking for a home up in Maine. Byron, W2JTP, recently left his Huntington, Long Island home and went clear across the country just outside of Seattle, Washington. On the KA2EEV homefront, my wife and I anticipate moving out of Newark within about a year and expect to buy a home in Union Beach, New Jersey, a nice quiet little town about 25 miles south of here on the northern part of the Jersey shore.
WELCOME WAGON DEPARTMENT: Lenny, WA2FKN, is back in action again on 7295 after being off the air due to problems with his Ranger. Lenny is one of those carefree guys who always makes you feel right at home. If you share a QSO with WA2FKN you're bound to get a chuckle or two. Lenny seems to have a smile behind the mike and his infectious laugh will no doubt get you going.
MISSING INGREDIENT DEPARTMENT: Byron, W2JTP, says there is hardly any AM activity to be heard from his new QTH near Seattle, but, he hopes to change all that. (So do we!!!) Maybe some of you Pacific coast AMers can work out some arrangements with Byron for 75 or 40. I suggested that he contact some of you high power guys in "6 land" for such possibilities. You can be sure that Byron will have many stories to tell you about his years of AMing here in the northeast.
By the way, Byron also mentioned that his old friend and long time AMer, Joe Matteson, W2RZ, of Latham, New York, is now a "silent key". Joe was an active ham way back in 1938. He reached a ripe old age of 95 before passing on. Some of you may have known him also.
That's about it for this months report. Till next time, 73.

Arterial ischemic stroke is one of several childhood stroke syndromes, which has distinctive features according to age of onset. This article discusses clinical presentation, risk factors and outcomes of arterial ischemic stroke in newborns and older children. The majority of affected children have adverse outcomes; although recent research has identified important risk factors, facilitating a targeted clinical approach and research on treatment is still lacking. This will require multi-center international collaboration.

Stroke is defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as "a clinical syndrome typified by rapidly developing signs of focal or global disturbance of cerebral functions, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death, with no apparent causes other than of vascular origin". In children the clinical presentation of acute stroke is not attributable to vascular pathology in at least a third of cases.[1] Vascular stroke syndromes are an important problem in pediatrics, with an incidence of 3-8/100,000 in Europe and North America.[2],[3] In the USA vascular stroke syndromes are one of the top 10 causes of childhood death.[4] There is a higher incidence in boys and people of black ethnicity, even after accounting for antecedent trauma and sickle cell disease (SCD).[5] Whilst these demographic characteristics may be different in the developing world, incidence is likely to be even higher as stroke can be the end result of disorders more commonly seen in this setting, for example, meningitis or bacterial endocarditis. This article will focus on arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in neonates and older children.
Arterial Ischemic Stroke in Children Aged >28 Days
Arterial ischemic stroke can be defined as "an acute focal neurological deficit attributable to cerebral infarction in an arterial distribution". Thus, this diagnosis can only be made after brain imaging. In adults clinical syndromes such as stroke, reversible ischemic neurologic deficits or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) are defined by the duration of clinical symptoms (>24 hours, <48 hours and <24 hours respectively). However, a significant number of children with relatively brief clinical symptoms will have ischemic brain injury and there is a growing consensus towards using imaging to define AIS.
As AIS usually affects the anterior (carotid) circulation in children, its most common clinical presentation is with acute hemiparesis. However, this may be difficult to recognize in infants, in whom lateralizing signs may be relatively subtle. Seizures (generalized or focal) may be the only clinical manifestation of acute AIS in newborns. Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) may present with less florid clinical signs ("soft" neurological signs)[6] and hemiparesis may manifest as a difficulty with handwriting or limping. Posterior circulation AIS accounts for around 15-20% of cases and presents with clinical features attributable to focal lesions in the occipital lobes, cerebellum or brainstem. The vast majority of cases of posterior circulation AIS described in the literature are in boys; the reasons for this gender bias are unclear, although recent data suggesting that stroke in patients with Fabry disease particularly affects the posterior circulation may provide a partial explanation.[7] Seizures occur in around a fifth of children with acute AIS. Large hemispheric infarcts or those resulting in obstruction to CSF outflow may result in a depressed conscious level. Early recognition of the symptoms and signs of raised intracranial pressure is important in children with AIS as decompressive procedures, such as decompressive craniectomy, can be life-saving.[8]
In children at high risk of AIS, especially those with SCD or moyamoya, cerebral infarction may be clinically "silent" and only identified on imaging. However, despite the lack of acute clinical features such lesions have a significant functional impact, especially in terms of cognitive outcome and functional independence.[9],[10] A recent study using voxel-based morphometry suggests that children with SCD have widespread white matter injury, even in the absence of frank infarction;[11] this may also be the case in other high risk groups such as patients with moyamoya,
The first step in evaluating the child presenting with an acute focal neurological syndrome is to identify its underlying cause. Brain imaging is mandatory in the assessment of children with this presentation given the wide range of differential diagnoses. Brain CT will enable identification of pathologies requiring acute intervention e.g., intracranial hemorrhage. CT may be normal for up to 24h following an acute arterial or venous infarct; if MRI is not available CT may need to be repeated after an interval in order to identify cerebral infarction unless there is a clear alternative explanation for the clinical picture. Diagnoses such as Todd's paresis or hemiplegic migraine should be made only after exclusion of vascular pathology. Infarction secondary to venous thrombosis should be considered if the clinical circumstances or radiological pattern of injury are suggestive, e.g. multifocal infarction and investigations might need to be specifically targeted to identify this diagnosis.
Half of children with AIS seen at tertiary centers will have another diagnosis associated with AIS;[1] the remainder are healthy prior to the stroke. Once the diagnosis of AIS has been confirmed by imaging, the focus of evaluation should be to identify potentially modifiable risk factors. These include infection, cardiac abnormalities, SCD, acute disorders of coagulation and cerebral arteriopathies.[1] A detailed clinical history, focusing on common risk factors for AIS such as infection (including previous varicella), fever and head trauma and a thorough clinical examination (including examination of the skin for neurocutaneous abnormalities) is essential. Risk factors commonly co-exist in individual children.[12]
SCD is the commonest cause of childhood AIS worldwide; 10% of the children with SCD have AIS before the age of 20. A further 20% have evidence of "silent infarcts", i.e., ischemic brain injury without an acute clinical correlate.[9] While the HbSS phenotype is associated with the highest rate of stroke, patients with both HbSC and HbSbthal are also at risk. The risk of stroke associated with SCD varies in populations of different ethnicity due to variations in SCD phenotype.[9] Risk factors for AIS in SCD include anemia, high white cell count, chest crises, silent infarction[9] and nocturnal hypoxemia.[13] Children with SCD who have a moyamoya pattern of arteriopathy are at high risk of recurrent events.[14] Without intervention, two thirds of patients with SCD who have one AIS will have recurrence. Regular blood transfusion to maintain HbS <30% reduces this to around 10% but is associated with significant long-term morbidity. AIS is an indication for bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in SCD. Although early results of BMT are promising, lack of donors and cost means that this option is only feasible for a very small number of patients. Research into alternative treatments such as hydroxyurea, aspirin and oxygen supplementation is ongoing.[15]
Over 80% of children with AIS have abnormalities of the cerebral circulation,[1] most commonly stenosis or occlusion of large intracranial arteries. The high prevalence of arterial pathology was identified initially on studies using catheter angiography[16] but is also evident if MR angiography is used for vascular imaging.[17] Sebire et al. recently proposed a classification of childhood cerebral arteriopathies in order to standardize description and enable comparison between different populations.[18] The most commonly identified of these is the transient cerebral arteriopathy (TCA), an entity manifesting as occlusive disease of the carotid fork or proximal PCA within three months of AIS and without evidence of progression on re-imaging within six months of AIS [Figure - 1]. In patients where the arteriopathy is associated with preceding varicella infection within 12 months it is termed postvaricella angiopathy. TCA is likely to have an underlying inflammatory basis although, other than after varicella infection, this has not been proven. Moyamoya describes a relatively rare cerebral arteriopathy with occlusive disease of the terminal internal carotid arteries and the formation of basal collateral vessels. Idiopathic momoyamoya is a condition with high prevalence in Japanese, although it has also been identified in many other ethnic groups. This pattern of arteriopathy has also been observed secondary to many conditions for example, Down syndrome, cranial irradiation and seems to be a marker for more aggressive disease course in sickle cell disease.[14] It is also associated with a high rate of clinical and subclinical recurrence in children without SCD [Figure - 2].
An important exception to the dictum that arteriopathy in childhood AIS affects intracranial vessels is arterial dissection, which usually affects the cervical ICA or vertebral artery [Figure - 3]. This accounts for up to 15% of cases in some series, is more common in males and is commonly spontaneous, without antecedent trauma.[19] Investigation of a child presenting with AIS thus requires imaging of the arterial vasculature from the aortic arch to the circle of Willis. Where MRI is available both the brain and the cerebral circulation can be imaged in a single examination. Ultrasound can be used to examine the cervical carotid arteries and in skilled hands is a reasonably sensitive means to identify dissection.[20] CT angiography is becoming more widely available but as yet its sensitivity and specificity for detection of arteriopathy in childhood AIS has not been established. Catheter angiography remains the gold standard for cerebrovascular imaging and may be required to identify dissection of the posterior circulation or cerebral vasculitis.[21] However, it is currently a second line investigation and is usually only undertaken if there is diagnostic uncertainty continues following investigation with noninvasive modalities.
AIS can be a presenting feature of both congenital and acquired cardiac disease. Children with congenital heart disease have multiple risk factors for AIS, including abnormal anatomy, poor cardiac function, anemia, polycythemia and, in particular, cardiac interventions, including catheterization and cardiopulmonary bypass. Although brain injury commonly becomes clinically symptomatic after invasive procedures, many of these children have evidence of focal arterial territory injury prior to intervention.[22] Structural abnormalities of the heart or large arteries are common in children with cerebral arteriopathies such as moyamoya. A detailed clinical examination of the cardiovascular system, including examination of peripheral pulses and blood pressure, is essential. Echocardiography should be carried out to evaluate cardiac anatomy and function. There is no data regarding the relative yield of tranthoracic vs. transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in childhood AIS. In most centers TOE is reserved for children in whom no other AIS risk factors are identified, largely to exclude patent foramen ovale (PFO). The significance of PFO in childhood AIS remains unclear; although it is a risk factor for AIS in young adults, PFO is common in children. Moreover venous thrombosis, as a source for paradoxical embolism, is rare in this age group.
The proportion of AIS related to CNS infection, for example meningitis, is likely to be more significant in developing countries.[23] Infection with varicella zoster has been shown to be associated with childhood AIS;[24] the interval between varicella and AIS may be up to a year. Postvaricella cerebral infarction most commonly affects young children. Imaging shows an arteriopathy affecting the proximal segment of the middle cerebral artery and infarction typically affects basal ganglia structures. The arteriopathy is commonly transient[25] and is thought to be inflammatory in origin.
Reported rates of genetically determined thrombophilia associated with first AIS vary greatly between different studies, reflecting the strong influence on factors such as ethnicity on thrombophilia prevalence in populations.[26],[27],[28] Acquired prothrombotic states, such as deranged coagulation in the context of sepsis, have also been identified as potential risk factors for AIS. Data from the German multi-center study has suggested that protein C deficiency and reduced levels of lipoprotein (a) are risk factors for stroke recurrence.[29] The role of thrombophilia screening in children with AIS remains contentious, as there is little evidence to support a role for genetic thrombophilia in arterial, as opposed to venous thrombotic disease. Moreover, identification of thrombophilia does not currently alter clinical management and thus it may be difficult to justify the cost involved, particularly in the context of limited resources.
Although many risk factors have been described for childhood AIS, in practical terms those which are potentially modifiable or which affect acute management are sepsis, hypoxia, SCD, anemia, cardiac disease, dissection and an active coagulopathy. Thus a minimum evaluation panel could comprise measuring oxygen saturation, hemoglobin, hemoglobin electrophoresis, standard coagulation profile, echocardiography and some form of cerebrovascular imaging, either with ultrasound or magnetic resonance, in addition to evaluation for of sepsis. Investigation could be extended to identify other risk factors with treatment implications, such as vasculitis or thrombophilia, if this initial evaluation is negative or of there are suggestive clinical features, for example, raised inflammatory markers or multisystem involvement. Although comprehensive evaluation is important in that the presence of multiple risk factors is associated with recurrence,[12] in light of the limited treatment options currently available, it is reasonable to adopt a focused approach, particularly where resources might be limited.
Initial management of the child with AIS should be directed towards identification and treatment of deranged homeostasis, for example, depressed conscious level, hypotension, hypoxia or fever. Blood pressure should be maintained at an adequate level to maximize cerebral perfusion; hypertension should not be treated unless the child is symptomatic. Likewise, fever should be treated as data from experimental models suggests that this may limit the extent of the eventual infarct. Children with depressed conscious level should be referred early for a neurosurgical opinion.
To date there is little evidence on which to base acute treatments for childhood AIS. There is much agreement but also some divergence of opinion between the two sets of clinical guidelines on pediatric stroke ("Chest" guidelines[30] and Royal College of Physicians guidelines (available at http://www. rcplondon.ac.uk/pubs/books/childstroke)),[31] reflecting the lack of data underpinning the recommendations. [Table - 1] summarizes these management recommendations. Essentially acute treatment options are (i) exchange transfusion for AIS in SCD (ii) anticoagulation for cardioembolic stroke or arterial dissection or (iii) aspirin. The UK guidelines recommend starting aspirin and then switching to anticoagulation if AIS is cardioembolic or secondary to dissection, whereas the "Chest" guidelines recommend a short period of anticoagulation in all patients pending further investigation. Although there are anecdotal reports of its use,[32] thrombolysis, either systemic or intravascular, is not advocated for the acute treatment of childhood AIS. The risk to benefit ratios for thrombolysis are likely to be different in children compared with adults; however, few children are identified within the currently accepted time window for thrombolysis[33] and the risk of intracranial hemorrhage is likely to be significant.
Recurrence and Secondary Prevention
Until relatively recently, childhood AIS was thought to usually be an isolated event. However, the recent literature reports rates of clinical recurrence of between 5 and 30%[12],[29] [Ganesan et al. , in press]. It is also now recognized that children other than those with SCD and moyamoya may have recurrent infarction without clinical manifestation.
Chronic blood transfusion, maintaining HbS <30%, significantly reduces stroke recurrence rate in children with SCD; however, a proportion of patients recur despite transfusion. Adjunctive treatments, such as revascularization for moyamoya, may have a role in such patients. Patients with cardioembolic stroke may be anticoagulated to prevent recurrent events; the optimal duration and intensity of treatment will depend on the underlying etiology and is likely to be a matter of clinical judgement. Children with extracranial arterial dissection are usually anticoagulated for around six months, although the evidence that this is effective in secondary prevention is largely anecdotal.
Surgical revascularization (SR) describes group of operations, which have the end result of providing an alternative source of blood to the ischemic brain in patients with moyamoya. This can be achieved either by direct arterial anastomosis of branches of the internal and external carotid arteries or by introducing a source of blood, for example temporalis muscle, onto the surface of the brain. The role, timing and efficacy of SR in moyamoya remain contentious issues,[34] particularly in non-Japanese patients and in patients with other disorders, such as SCD.[35] Despite the lack of clinical trials, however, there is a substantial body of anecdotal evidence to supportive the efficacy of SR in patients with moyamoya.[36]
It is a common fallacy that children recover AIS. Although patterns of recovery after focal lesions are different in children compared with adults, two thirds of children have residual sequelae after AIS, most commonly affecting motor function.[37],[38] As childhood AIS commonly affects the basal ganglia, motor impairment often manifests as hemidystonia. This may only be apparent after a relatively "silent" interval. Whilst severity of impairment varies widely between individuals, they have a significant impact on the child's quality of life and on the family as a whole.[39] Pediatric therapy services are commonly modeled on management of children with cerebral palsy and thus may find the management of a child with changing needs and pattern of impairment challenging.
Clinical experience suggests that childhood AIS has significant behavioral and cognitive sequelae; however, at present these effects are relatively under-researched and are frequently not identified. A third of parents report that their child's behavior was affected by AIS;[37] over half of children were found to have abnormal scores on the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire, with abnormal scores occurring in all domains (Wraige and Ganesan, unpublished observation). These relatively "invisible" impairments resulting from childhood AIS may not be apparent for some time until the child meets progressively more demanding cognitive and social challenges. Impairments related to childhood AIS have major consequences, not only for the individual but also for society as a whole; for example, half of children with SCD and silent infarction will require lifelong support or residential care.[40]
The only studies of primary prevention of childhood AIS have been undertaken in patients with SCD. The landmark STOP study established that transcranial Doppler ultrasound could be used to identify presymptomatic children in whom blood transfusion was extremely effective in preventing stroke.[41] Application of the screening and transfusion procedure recommended as a result of this study significantly reduced rates of stroke in Californian children;[42] however, financial and logistic barriers, as well as the major morbidity associated with transfusion have meant that primary prevention has only been offered to a small proportion of children with SCD worldwide. Disappointingly, the results of STOP2,[43] published recently, suggest that discontinuation of transfusion results in reversal of any improvement of vascular abnormalities, suggesting that transfusion has to be continued in order to prevent AIS.
Perinatal AIS
There are important distinctions in etiology, clinical presentation and outcome between AIS in neonates and in older children. This section will consider AIS occurring before 28 days of life and will therefore include patients with prenatal and perinatal AIS, defined as focal arterial territory infarction. Patients with global hypoxic or ischemic brain injury or watershed infarction are not considered here.
The incidence of perinatal AIS is difficult to estimate as only a proportion of affected patients present clinically at the time of the event (symptomatic AIS, estimated incidence 1 in 4000 live births); a further proportion present in the first year of life with signs of emergent hemiparesis. It is also likely that AIS is clinically silent in a proportion of children[44] and thus comprehensive epidemiological studies are difficult. The literature on this topic is complicated by major variations in cases included. Despite the lack of comprehensive incidence data, it is striking that mortality related to stroke in the USA is higher in the first year of life than at any other time during childhood and young adulthood.[45]
Arterial ischemic stroke is predominantly a disorder of term-born infants. Studies have consistently shown a higher rate in left sided brain injury, possibly related to anatomical factors and a higher rate in males.[46] Clinical presentation of symptomatic AIS in the neonatal period is most commonly with seizures.[47] Lateralizing clinical signs are frequently absent; however, subtle signs on assessments such as the assessment of general movements may be apparent from as early as -three to six weeks of ages in children who go on to manifest hemiplegia.[48] Up to 15% of neonatal seizures are attributable to AIS.[47] Other signs, such as poor feeding or lethargy, are relatively nonspecific.
Data regarding the mechanisms underlying perinatal AIS are largely speculative. Thromboembolism from the placenta is thought to be one such mechanism, with contributions from both prothombotic risk factors[44] and the derangements in coagulation associated with pregnancy and infection. Estan and Hope did not find an excess of adverse perinatal factors in children with perinatal AIS compared with controls, other than a low one minute Apgar score and need for assisted ventilation.[47] However, a recent case-control study from northern California reported an excess of several maternal, pregnancy and delivery related factors, such as primiparity, pre-eclampsia, oligohydramnios, abnormal fetal heart rate, emergency caesarean section, chorioamnionitis, prolonged rupture of membranes, prolonged second stage and vacuum extraction;[49] some of these factors were also identified by other groups.[50] However, it is difficult to know whether these are causal factors or whether some reflect the unfavorable condition of the baby secondary to recent AIS.
As with older children, variable data has been reported regarding the role of thrombophilia in perinatal AIS, with genetic and acquired abnormalities (elevated lipoprotein (a), FVL mutation, protein C deficiency andticardiopilin antibodies) being reported in 40 - 60% of cases.[51] Many of these children will have other risk factors for thrombosis, such as sepsis or dehydration. Mercuri et al found that the presence of the FVL mutation was associated with worse outcome.[44] While identification of many of these abnormalities will not affect clinical management, major prothrombotic abnormalities, such as protein C or S deficiency, will require specific treatment and thus prothrombotic screening is advocated in children with perinatal AIS. This should include identification of maternal antiphospholipid antibodies, which may have management implications for the mother.[51] The exact range of disorders, which are screened for will be influenced by the local population characteristics. For economic reasons it would be reasonable to decide, in conjunction with a hematologist, to only look for those disorders which are going to directly affect treatment of the mother or child.
Less common causes of perinatal AIS include dissection of the cervical arteries during delivery, maternal cocaine abuse, neonatal meningitis or congenital heart disease.[45] As with older children, risk factors commonly co-exist and their interaction is thought to be important in the genesis of perinatal AIS.[45],[49]
Most lesions affect the territory of the middle cerebral artery. As with the older child, cerebral infarction in symptomatic newborns can be identified using MRI or CT. In neonates who are symptomatic in the first few days following birth, diffusion-weighted MRI may contribute to timing brain injury and, in particular, whether this occurred before birth or in the immediate perinatal period. Cranial ultrasound has a reasonable sensitivity but poorer specificity for identification of AIS and may serve as a useful screening test.[52] However, more detailed imaging should be undertaken in cases where ultrasound remains equivocal or for improving prognostic prediction.[50] There is little data on vascular imaging in prenatal AIS although studies investigating this are underway.
Currently only the "Chest" guidelines[30] address the management of perinatal AIS. Anticoagulation is advocated for cardioembolic AIS but no treatment is recommended for the remainder of cases. Recurrence is rare in children with symptomatic AIS; Kurnik et al identified recurrent thrombosis in seven of 215 such children. Of note, six of these events involved the nervous system (AIS in four and venous sinus thrombosis in two) and five of these children had prothrombotic abnormalities,[53] often in conjunction with another risk factor for thrombosis.
Perinatal AIS accounts for at least half of all cases of hemiplegic cerebral palsy. However, around half of children with perinatal AIS have no long term-sequelae.[45] Motor outcome of perinatal AIS can be predicted to some extent in that concurrent involvement of the basal ganglia, internal capsule and cerebral cortex is associated with hemiplegia.[50] However, such predictions are not possible in older children in whom neither site nor size of lesion enables confident prognostication.[54],[55] Data from the northern California group found that large lesions and those involving Broca's area, Wernicke's area, internal capsule or basal ganglia were more likely to be associated with cerebral palsy; however, this study only included children who had been imaged, presumably due to clinical concerns and thus may overestimate both the rate of adverse outcomes (around 80%) and the relative contribution of different lesion patterns.[56] Longer term follow-up of newborns with perinatal infarction suggests that more subtle motor impairments are apparent at school age in some of those without early hemiparesis, especially if the lesion involves the internal capsule.[57] Newer magnetic resonance techniques, such as diffusion tensor imaging, may enable improved characterization of processes such as Wallerian degeneration More Details which may correlate more closely with motor outcome.[58],[59] Early EEG may also provide prognostic information; Mercuri et al found that infants with an abnormal background, as opposed to epileptiform discharges, were more likely to develop hemiplegia.[50] In the longer term, up to 40% of patients may have epilepsy.[56] Visual function may be affected in around a quarter of children, especially those with larger lesions and hemiplegia.[60] Interestingly, in the context of the discussion above regarding older children, a recent case control study did not identify an increased rate of emotional or behavioral sequelae in children with perinatal AIS (and other focal pathologies) compared with controls.[61]

500 Years Since Martin Luther
Anthony Burgess (1600-1663)
An active Westminster Puritan and powerful preacher who wrote on a variety of biblical subjects.
Today, many Christians are turning back to the puritans to, “walk in the old paths,” of God’s word, and to continue to proclaim old truth that glorifies Jesus Christ. There is no new theology. In our electronic age, more and more people are looking to add electronic books (ePubs, mobi and PDF formats) to their library – books from the Reformers and Puritans – in order to become a “digital puritan” themselves. Take a moment to visit Puritan Publications (click the banner below) to find the biggest selection of rare puritan works updated in modern English in both print form and in multiple electronic forms. There are new books published every month. All proceeds go to support A Puritan’s Mind.
“God’s Word is the only rule and principle in matters of Religion and Reformation.”
Biography of Anthony Burgess (1600-1663):
Anthony Burgess (1600-1663), divine, was a son of a schoolmaster at Watford, but not related to Cornelius Burgess the minister, or John Burgess [q. v.] his predecessor at Sutton Coldfield. He entered St. John’s College, Cambridge, in 1623, and became fellow of Emmanuel. Here he was a tutor of the famous John Wallis, who mentions him with respect in the autobiographical notes prefixed to Hearne’s edition of ‘Langtoft.’ He became vicar of Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire. During the civil war he took refuge in Coventry, and lectured the parliamentary garrison. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly. After the Restoration he was ejected from Sutton Coldfield, and lived at Tamworth. The bishop of Lichfield (Hacket) is said to have begged him to conform, declaring that he was fit to be professor at a university.
He published various separate sermons, including a funeral sermon on Thomas Blake, which Wood had not seen, but a copy of which is in the British Museum, and 1. ‘Vindiciæ Legis, a Vindication of the Moral Law . . . (against Antinomians) in twenty-nine lectures at Lawrence Jury,’ 1646. 2. ‘The True Doctrine of Justification asserted . . . (against Arminians, &c.), in thirty lectures at Lawrence Jury,’ 1648. 3. ‘Spiritual Refining’ (120 sermons), 1652. 4. ‘Expository Sermons (145) on the 17th chapter of the Gospel according to St. John,’ 1656. 5. ‘The Scripture Directory … a Practical Commentary upon the whole third chapter of the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, to which is annexed the Godly and Natural Man’s Choice, &c.,’ 1659. 6. ‘Doctrine of Original Sin asserted,’ 1659.

Athos Zacharias, a last link to the post-war New York School artists and a fixture in the artistic scene on the East End of Long Island, died on Saturday. He was 92-years-old. Funeral and memorial information has yet to be released.
Athos Zacharias (also known as Zack) was a last living link to the first generation of Abstract Expressionist painters, many of whom spent significant periods of time on the East End of Long Island. He worked as an assistant to Elaine Dekooning, was Bill DeKooning's first assistant and worked for Lee Krasner and Alfonso Ossorio, among others, even as he painted himself.
In 1955, after graduating from art school on the G.I. Bill, he made his way to New York City and landed smack dab in the middle of the art scene — small, intense, and a cauldron of abstraction.
If New York City was the center of the art world at the time, the Cedar Tavern was the epicenter. One night as Zacharias sipped his 35-cent beer, a charming, somewhat older gentleman with piercing blue eyes began to chat with him. Before leaving to join an insistent group of friends, the man stuck out his hand and said: “By the way: my name is Bill de Kooning.”
As Zach would recall years later: “I went home, a few blocks away on Broadway, and told my wife: ‘Mary, I just met one of the greatest painters in the world and he’s a regular guy.’ ”
De Kooning was 23 years Zacharias’s senior but his wife, Elaine, was just nine years older. Zacharias was invited by de Kooning to join “the Artists Club,” a regular discussion group that met in secret. “We’d spend all night trying to understand a word like intuition in painting,” Zacharias recalled. “Sometimes it would almost end in fistfights. There were only about 400 people in the whole art world, and pretty soon I knew them all."
Zacharias became very much a part of this group that made post-war New York and America the new center of artistic expression. Dekooning writes about Zacharias: "...I can say he was one of us...Zacharias was as much in the middle of it as anyone."
Elaine de Kooning was a particular fan and said this of Zacharias: "Athos Zacharias, as a painter, has serendipity: his colors and forms always charge into the right place at the right time."
Zacharias discovered the East End of Long Island in the 50s, along with many of the other New York School artists. He was drawn by the quality of light and the semi-rural life-style. Handy with his hands, he build Jackson Pollock's house for him. It is today the site of the Pollock-Krasner Museum.
Hairdo, 2018, acrylic on canvas, 24 x 20
Zacharias painted in a classic action painting mode, one which emphasized direct application of the paint with minimal interaction with the conscious mind. He very much subscribed to the modernist belief that what you see and paint is true. "All I know about painting is in every stroke…what I have to think about is getting to the point immediately. Suddenly something in the painting ticks me off—a passage—and then I try to amplify that and develop it and bring out the personality of that painting.
“It’s painting in the now, taking chances…I can be free with my emotions and imagination. Mostly imagination. Allow your imagination free rein, because what you see and what you feel is true. No matter how much or little you think you know about modern art, what you see and feel is true for that moment."
Lawrence Fine Art represented Zacharias for the last seven years of his life. Gallery owner Howard Shapiro recalls talking with him frequently about his friends in the artistic milieu of the time--Pollock, DeKooning, Milton Resnick, Larry Rivers, Grace Hartigan and Franz Kline. "It was an art history lesson in every sense of the word," says Shapiro.
Zacharias had numerous one-person and solo shows during his lifetime and is represented in numerous collections. He was the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2007-2008.

University suspends two colleagues of (fake) "cloning pioneer"
by Theresa Kim Hwa-young
Lee Byeong-chun and Kang Seung-keun have been charged with faking, together with Wang Woo-suk, the results of embryonic stem cell research and of embezzling public funds for the studies.
Seoul (AsiaNews) Seoul National University (SNU) yesterday suspended two colleagues of Hwang Woo-suk, a vet and university professor charged with faking his research results on human cloning. SNU is considering taking disciplinary measures against other collaborators of Hwang, who was fired in March.
Lee Byeong-chun and Kang Seung-keun were accused of faking the outcome of studies on cloning human stem cells while working with Hwang. The two were charged with of embezzling 290 million won (8,000) and 110 million won respectively in public funds, as they received government financing for research based on false achievements. The SNU could sack both, as it did with Hwang, but this depends on the decision of the disciplinary panel chaired by the rector of the university, Chung Un-chan.
Hwang used to be considered as one of the world's leading scholars in the genetic field. The results of his research were published in 2004 and 2005 in two issues of the renowned US scientific journal, Science. The researcher claimed he had created stem cell lines from cloned human embryos. He would have been the first ever scientist to achieve this if the results had not been falsified. Science retracted both articles after the SNU revealed that the studies were faked, and that the stem cells had not been genetically created but had come from donors' eggs. Lee and Kang were co-authors of both articles.

Table 1. Histopathologic findings of the cochlea.
Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent widely used in the treatment of a variety of cancers. Ototoxicity is one of the main side-effects restricting the use of cisplatin.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective efficacy of gallic acid, in biochemical, functional and histopathological terms, against ototoxicity induced by cisplatin.
Twenty-eight female Sprague Dawley rats were included. Rats were randomly assigned into four groups of seven animals each. Cisplatin group received a single intraperitoneal dose of 15mg/kg cisplatin. Gallic acid group received intraperitoneal gallic acid at 100mg/kg for five consecutive days. Cisplatin+gallic acid group received intraperitoneal gallic acid at 100mg/kg for five consecutive days and a single intraperitoneal dose of 15mg/kg cisplatin at 3rd day. A control group received 1mL intraperitoneal saline solution for five consecutive days. Prior to drug administration, all rats were exposed to the distortion product otoacoustic emissions test. The test was repeated on the 6th day of the study. All rats were then sacrificed; the cochleas were removed and set aside for biochemical and histopathological analyses.
In cisplatin group, Day 6 signal noise ratio values were significantly lower than those of the other groups. Also, malondialdehyde levels in cochlear tissues were significantly higher, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities were significantly lower compared to the control group. Histopathologic evaluation revealed erosion in the stria vascularis, degeneration and edema in the connective tissue layer in endothelial cells, impairment of outer hair cells and a decrease in the number of these calls. In the cisplatin+gallic acid group, this biochemical, histopathological and functional changes were reversed.
In the light of our findings, we think that gallic acid may have played a protective role against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in rats, as indicated by the distortion product otoacoustic emissions test results, biochemical findings and immunohistochemical analyses.
Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity
Gallic acid
A cisplatina é um agente antineoplásico amplamente usado no tratamento de vários tipos de câncer. A ototoxicidade é um dos principais efeitos colaterais que restringem o uso da cisplatina.
O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a eficácia protetora do ácido gálico, em termos bioquímicos, funcionais e histopatológicos, contra a ototoxicidade induzida por cisplatina.
Vinte e oito ratas Sprague-Dawley foram incluídas. As ratas foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em quatro grupos de sete animais cada. O grupo cisplatina recebeu uma única dose intraperitoneal de 15mg/kg de cisplatina. O grupo ácido gálico recebeu ácido gálico via intraperitoneal a uma dose de 100mg/kg durante cinco dias consecutivos. O grupo cisplatina+ácido gálico recebeu ácido gálico via intraperitoneal a uma dose de 100mg/kg durante cinco dias consecutivos e uma única dose intraperitoneal de 15mg/kg de cisplatina no terceiro dia. O grupo controle recebeu 1mL de solução salina via intraperitoneal por cinco dias consecutivos. Antes da administração do fármaco, todos os ratos foram expostos ao teste de emissões otoacústicas - produto de distorção. O teste foi repetido no sexto dia do estudo. Todos os ratos foram então sacrificados; as cócleas foram removidas e reservadas para análises bioquímicas e histopatológicas.
No grupo cisplatina, os valores da relação sinal-ruído do dia 6 foram significativamente mais baixos aos dos outros grupos. Além disso, os níveis de malondialdeído nos tecidos cocleares foram significativamente mais altos, e as atividades de superóxido dismutase e glutatione peroxidase foram significativamente mais baixas em comparação com o grupo controle. A avaliação histopatológica revelou erosão na estria vascular, degeneração e edema na camada de tecido conjuntivo em células endoteliais, comprometimento das células ciliadas externas e diminuição do número dessas células. No grupo cisplatina+ácido gálico, estas alterações bioquímicas, histopatológicas e funcionais foram revertidas.
Tendo em vista os nossos achados, consideramos que o ácido gálico pode ter desempenhado um papel protetor contra a ototoxicidade induzida por cisplatina em ratas, conforme indicado pelos resultados do teste emissões otoacústicas - produto de distorção, achados bioquímicos e análises imuno-histoquímicas.
Ototoxicidade induzida por cisplatina
Ácido gálico
EOAPD
Cis-diammineedichloroplatinum (cisplatin) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in the treatment of cancer since being approved by the Federal Drug Administration in 1978. The importance of long-term complications developing in association with chemotherapeutics is growing as survival rates in cancer patients improve. Side-effects such as ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity are seen following cisplatin chemotherapy. Hearing losses at rates between 30% and 100% have been reported in association with cisplatin ototoxicity.1 This hearing loss results in multifaceted decreases in quality of life and can affect social and academic development, particularly in children.2
Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity involves high-frequency bilateral and symmetrical hearing loss. Such losses may be permanent and irreversible and are frequently associated with tinnitus.3 The severity of this hearing loss is associated with the frequency of drug application and the dosage concerned. No methods other than reducing the cisplatin dosage or modification to chemotherapeutic regimens not containing cisplatin have to date been discovered for the purpose of reducing cisplatin-related ototoxicity. These two methods may also have adverse impacts on treatment outcomes. Various studies have therefore investigated agents capable of preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Several antioxidant agents including d-methionine, allopurinol, flunarizine, curcumin and lutein have been employed for this purpose in experimental studies.4–8
Gallic acid is a trihydroxybenzoic acid, a phenolic acid found in numerous medicinal plants and food materials. It has long been known to exhibit powerful antioxidant effects.9 Phenolic acids have been reported to exhibit their antioxidant effects by directly scavenging free radicals, by inactivating enzymes responsible for Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production and increasing the activation of antioxidant enzymes.10
To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated the protective effect of gallic acid against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective efficacy of gallic acid in rats, in biochemical, functional and histopathological terms, against ototoxicity induced by cisplatin.
MethodsAnimals
Approval for the study was granted by the Ataturk University Animal Studies Local Ethical Committee with number E.1700305147-11:145. Twenty-eight female Sprague Dawley rats weighing 220–240g were included. The study was conducted in accordance with the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals Guide. All rats were housed in special cages with ad libitum access to chow and water in a stable temperature of 22°±1°C and humidity of 45%±2%. The lighting system was adjusted to a 12h light/12h dark cycle.
The gallic acid used in the study was obtained from the Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, and cisplatin from Kocak Pharma Co. (Kocak, Istanbul, Turkey). Rats were randomly assigned into four groups of seven animals each.
Group 1 (Cisplatin group): Received a single intraperitoneal dose of 15mg/kg cisplatin.
Group 2 (Gallic acid group): Received intraperitoneal gallic acid at 100mg/kg for five consecutive days.
Group 3 (Cisplatin+Gallic acid group): Received intraperitoneal gallic acid at 100mg/kg for five consecutive days and a single intraperitoneal dose of 15mg/kg cisplatin at 3rd day.
Group 4 (Control group): Received 1mL intraperitoneal saline solution for five consecutive days.
Prior to drug administration, all rats underwent otoscopic examination under 40mg/kg ketamine and 10mg/kg xylazine anesthesia. All rats were then exposed to the Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) test. The DPOAE test was repeated on the 6th day of the study under the same anesthesia protocol. All rats were then sacrificed, and the temporal bones were dissected. The cochleas were removed and right cochlea was set aside for biochemical analyses while the left cochlea was set aside for histopathological analyses.
DPOAE measurements was conducted with an Otometrics Madsen Capella device. This device was calibrated before each measurement. Before measurement, all rats were anesthetized with 40mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride (Ketasol 10%, Richter Pharma Ag, Wels, Austria) and 10mg/kg xylazine (Alfazyne 2%, Alfasan International BV, Voerden, the Netherlands). Following anesthesia, rats were subjected to otoscopic examination. Appropriate probes were placed on both right and left outer ear channels of the rats to perform DPOAE measurements in a silent room. Measurements were taken in the form of DPgrams. The difference between the levels of L1 and L2 was kept at 10dB SPL (sound pressure level) (L1=65dB SPL, L2=55dB SPL). In order to obtain the most powerful response, the test was set to two separate frequencies, f1/f2=1.22. DPgram measurements were performed at frequencies of 2002, 2500, 3154, 4004, 5000, 6299, 7998 and 10,000Hz. SNR values of 3dB or above were regarded as positive. The Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) values of all groups obtained during the DPOAE test were compared within and between the groups.
Cochlear tissues collected for histopathological analysis were fixed for 48h in 10% formalin solution. They were then softened for 96–120h in Osteosoft (Merc, HC313331, Germany) decalcification solution and subsequently washed in running spring water. They were next processed in 80% alcohol (12h×2 times), 90% alcohol (12h×2 times), 96% alcohol (12h×2 times), 100% alcohol (12h×2 times), chloroform (5h×3 times), and liquid paraffin (12h) before being embedded in paraffin blocks. Sections measuring 4μm in thickness were taken from each block, and preparates were made ready on slides. The preparations readied for histopathological examination were then stained with Masson's trichrome and studied under a light microscope. Sections investigated under light microscopy were evaluated on the basis of lesions – none (−), slight (+), moderate (++) and severe (+++). Photographs were taken.
All sections placed onto adhesive slides (poly-l-Lysine) for immunoperoxidase examination were passed through xylol and alcohol series, deparaffinized and dehydrated. The procedure was performed according to the guideline of Ab80436 kit. Caspase-3 was used as primary antibody. Following the washing procedure, 3-3′ Diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogen was dropped onto the section and allowed to stand for 5–10min to absorb the chromogen. After emersion in Mayer's hematoxylin for 1–2min for background staining, specimens were washed under tap water. The slides were then passed through alcohol and xylol series, covered, and examined under a light microscope (Leica DM 1000). Sections’ immune positivity was graded as none (−), slight (+), moderate (++) or severe (+++).
The cochleas set aside for biochemical examination were washed with physiological saline solution immediately after excision and then frozen at −80°C. On the day of study, they were removed from the freezer, thawed, and homogenized with a 9mL per gram 1.15% KCl solution. The homogenates were centrifuged at 10,000rpm for 30min for supernatant separation.
The spectrophotometric method described by Sun et al. was employed for Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) analysis.11 This technique is based on the reduction of Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) by the superoxide producer xanthine–xanthine oxidase at 560nm. SOD activity was expressed as U/L.
Malondialdehyde (MDA) analysis was performed using the Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) technique described by Ohkawa and Yagi.12 This is based on spectrophotometric measurement of the pink product resulting from the reaction between MDA and TBA. The results were expressed as nmoL/mL.
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was measured using a modification of the method described by Paglia and Valentine.13 GPx is an enzyme that produces glutathione oxidation in a reaction in which hydrogen peroxide is reduced to water. Oxidized glutathione is again reduced to glutathione with the enzyme glutathione reductase in the presence of NADPH. The method is based on spectrophotometric measurement of the decrease in NADPH absorbance at 340nm. GPx activity was expressed as IU/L.
Statistical analysis was performed on SPSS 17.0 software. One-Way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis of normally distributed parameters, and the post hoc Tukey test was employed to identify sources of variation. The non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test was used to analyze variations among data obtained using the semi-quantitative method at histopathological examination. Analyses between two groups were performed using the Mann–Whitney U test. p<0.05 was regarded as statistically significant.
No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of SNR values in the DPOAE results on the first day of the study. Also there was no difference between the right and left ear SNR values. When DPOAE results on Day 6 were compared with the findings from Day 1, no significant variation was observed in SNR values in Groups 2, 3 or 4. In Group 1, SNR values on Day 1 were significantly higher than those on Day 6 at all studied frequencies. This shows that cisplatin exerts an adverse effect on hearing functions by affecting the cochlea.
When the DPOAE test results on Day 6 were compared among themselves, SNR values in Group 1 were significantly lower than those of the other groups. No significant variation was determined between SNR values in Groups 2, 3 and 4. These findings show that the use of gallic acid with cisplatin prevented impairment in SNR values and exhibited functional protection against the ototoxic effect of cisplatin (Figs. 1 and 2).

The results of biochemical analysis of rat cochleas are shown in Fig. 3. MDA levels in cochlear tissues in Group 1 were significantly higher compared to the control group. At the same time, SOD and GPx activities in cochlear tissues decreased significantly compared to the control group. This shows that oxidative stress occurred in the cochleas of rats receiving cisplatin, and that this stress was manifested with an increase in amounts of free oxygen radicals emerging with a rise in lipid peroxidation, and also with a decrease in antioxidant enzyme activities. No significant variation was observed between MDA levels, SOD and GPx activities in rats from Groups 2, 3 and 4. Additionally, MDA levels in the cochleas of rats from Group 3, those receiving gallic acid together with cisplatin, were significantly lower than those of rats in Group 1, those receiving cisplatin only, while SOD and GPx activities were significantly higher. This shows that gallic acid also protects against oxidative stress caused by the ototoxic effect of cisplatin.
Biochemical results.
In histopathologic examination, the cochleas in the control and gallic acid groups exhibited a normal histological appearance (Fig. 4A–C). Examination of the cochlea in the cisplatin group revealed erosion in the stria vascularis and degeneration and edema in the connective tissue layer in endothelial cells. The structure of outer hair cells was impaired, and a decrease in these cells was also observed (Fig. 4B). Examination of the cochleas in the Cis+gallic acid group revealed mild hyperemia in the stria vascularis, degeneration in epithelial cells and very mild degeneration in the spinal ganglia (Fig. 4D). These findings decreased in a statistically significant manner in the Cis+gallic group compared to the cisplatin group (p<0.05). Histopathological cochlea findings are summarized in Table 1.

Caspase-3 staining was performed to determine apoptosis in cells. No Caspase-3 immunopositivity was observed at cochlear staining in the control or gallic acid groups (Fig. 5A–C). In the cisplatin group, severe intraplasmic immunopositivity was observed in outer hair cells (Fig. 5B). In the Cis+gallic acid group, mild intraplasmic Caspase-3 expression was determined in outer hair cells (Fig. 5D). A statistically significant decrease was determined compared to the cisplatin group (p<0.05). Immunohistochemical findings are summarized in Table 1.

(B) Cisplatin Group, severe Caspase-3 immunopositivity in outer hair cells (arrow). (C) Gallic acid Group, negative Caspase-3 expression in the outer hair cells. (D) Cisplatin+Gallic acid Group, mild Caspase-3 immunopositivity in outer hair cells (arrow).
Our study clearly demonstrated the protective efficacy of gallic acid against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Gallic acid was determined, both biochemically and histopathologically, to prevent oxidative stress arising in the cochlea following cisplatin administration. The DPOAE findings also showed that gallic acid exerts a protective effect against hearing loss associated with cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.
Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent widely used in the treatment of a variety of cancers. The main side-effects of this agent are nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and ototoxicity. While nephrotoxicity can be controlled with hydration therapy, ototoxicity remains the most significant side-effect of cisplatin use.8 The mechanism by which cisplatin leads to ototoxicity is not yet fully understood. Previous studies have shown that cisplatin causes hearing losses by impacting on various areas of the cochlea. The histopathological finding that has attracted the greatest interest is hair cell degeneration. Damage beginning in the tip links in the stereocilia of outer hair cells gradually leads to loss of all outer hair cells. This loss begins in the basal end and progresses to the apex. In addition, it causes collapse in Reissner's membrane and atrophy in support cells in the organ of Corti and in the stria vascularis.14,15 In our study, histopathologic examination of the cochlea in the cisplatin group revealed erosion in the stria vascularis, degeneration and edema in the connective tissue layer in endothelial cells, impairment of the structure of outer hair cells and a decrease in the number of these cells.
The pathology responsible for this damage in the cochlea at the molecular and cellular level is not yet fully understood, although oxidative stress is believed to be the main agent. Cisplatin initiates numerous pathophysiological processes in the cochlea by increasing ROS production and suppressing antioxidant enzyme systems. Increased oxidative stress in the cochlea increases the peroxidation of lipid membranes, inactivates important cellular enzymes and compromises ion channel functions. Finally, increased ROS production leads to histopathological processes and functional impairments in the cochlea by causing apoptosis and necrotic cell death.16 In our study, Caspase-3 staining was performed to determine apoptosis in cells. Severe intraplasmic immunopositivity was observed in outer hair cells of the rats in the cisplatin group.
The cochlea has an effective antioxidant defense mechanism containing antioxidant such as vitamin C, vitamin E and Glutathione (GSH) and enzymes such as SOD, GPx and Catalase (CAT).17 SOD catalyzes the conversion of O2− to H2O2 and O2, while CAT converts H2O2 to O2 and H2O. GPx reduces H2O2 and maybe certain other peroxides. Additionally, GPx also accelerates the conversion of reduced GSH to its oxidized form (GSSG) during the detoxification of H2O2.16 If this ROS elimination system is compromised, ROS lead to lipid peroxidation and cellular damage. This manifests itself with elevated MDA levels. Levels of MDA were significantly higher in the cochleas of rats receiving cisplatin compared to the control group in our study. However, SOD and GPx activities in the cochlear tissues of rats receiving cisplatin were significantly lower than those of the control group. These findings reveal that oxidative stress is involved in cochlear damage occurring in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.
In the light of these physiological processes, it has been hypothesized that reducing ROS levels and increasing levels of antioxidant enzymes can be protective against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Various antioxidant agents have been investigated in cisplatin ototoxicity. The purpose of our study was to determine whether gallic acid, a powerful antioxidant, would exhibit a protective effect against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.
Gallic acid is a poly-hydroxyphenolic compound found in numerous plants, fruits and foodstuffs. It also occurs naturally in a number of terrestrial and aquatic plants.18 It exhibits powerful anti-carcinogenic, anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory effects.19 Gallic acid and the derivatives thereof are powerful antioxidants capable of scavenging free radicals, such as superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid.19 It has been suggested that this free radical scavenging activity may account for the ameliorative effect of gallic acid on oxidative stress.
Oyagbemi et al. showed that gallic acid ameliorates oxidative stress by suppressing ROS production in the rat brain and improving antioxidant status.20 Prince et al. reported that gallic acid increased the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH dependent enzymes in diabetic brain damage induced with streptozocin and prevented the formation of free radicals.21 Omobowale et al. also reported that gallic acid exhibited a protective effect against hepatic damage in doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity.22 Li et al. investigated the antioxidant substances that best prevented oxidative stress experimentally induced in ovarian tissue. They concluded that gallic acid functioned as a powerful antioxidant by reducing ROS production and by activating the antioxidant enzyme system.23 It was suggested in our study that, administration of gallic acid together with cisplatin showed a significant biochemical and histopathologic protection against cisplatin induced ototoxicity by acting as a powerful antioxidant.
The DPOAE test is an objective method that elicits functional outcomes of damage occurring in the cochlea in a rapid, inexpensive and non-invasive manner. Based on our DPOAE responses, significant impairment was observed in SNR values at high frequencies in rats receiving cisplatin compared to those in the control group. In addition, we documented significantly higher SNR values in rats administered gallic acid together with cisplatin compared to the cisplatin only group. This shows that gallic acid also exhibits a functional protective effect against ototoxicity induced with cisplatin.
In the light of our findings, we think that gallic acid may have played a protective role against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in rats, as indicated by the DPOAE results, biochemical findings and immunohistochemical analyses. Although our results do indicate that gallic acid can reduce cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in rats, its usefulness in the clinical setting remains uncertain. Further studies are now needed to determine the appropriate indications and dosages of gallic acid before clinical use against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity can be recommended.

Should I open up my app's data so anyone can use it?
I've built a site for climbers - a worldwide, user editable guidebook for climbers.
Recently, I've been toying with the idea of making all of the data that has been submitted to my site open (Creative-Commons) to everyone in the form of a downloadable archive and/or an API.
My thinking is that if I make the data available in a similar way to how Stack Overflow already does, then more climbers will be motivated to contribute, and more interesting uses of the data will come to light.
My only concern is that I may inadvertently kill my site to death by overlooking some glaring reason that this is a bad idea.
So my question is: Is opening up the data a good/bad/stupid/dangerous idea, and why?
Strategy Website
Codebeef
Top digital marketing agency for SEO, content marketing, and PR: Demand Roll
Open it now.
Remember you can always close it later if it's a problem (unlikely).
Techniques to deal with your worries:
Limit the amount of API activity by IP address.
Require the user supply an "application name" with the API call so you can track apps that are using a lot.
If direct API use becomes a problem, do like StackOverflow and make "database dumps" available periodically over BitTorrent or some other "more free" service.
Put your data up on infochimps.org. Free or not-free. Either way, those guys pay for the bandwidth.
infochimps.org is definitely the best venue for a bulk database dump, whether it's for free under a share-alike license or for pay with a "do whatever you want but don't build bouldr-only-different.com" clause.
We're soliciting entries for our Everything Jukebox: datasets with say "geolocation " on the left hand column and "everything about something" on the right hand columns -- in this case, "places to go climb and all attendant metadata".
What happens when this is out there? Nobody knows! It's the internet! But here are some plausible outcomes:
Someone uses the data to build an iPhone/Android app for the site
One of your users ties it to datasets from aggdata.com with every REI, Walmart and Sporting Goods store in the country - now you have a "where to get gear" feature for your users and a natural focal point for advertising SEO.
Someone builds a connector to Twitter's new geolocation API and boom: social networking layer for your site.
A grad student studying public health is able to combine your site's data (as a measure for "popularity of alternative sports") with other public data to understand patterns of fitness and exercise.
Some of these don't make you money, and some depend on others paying it forward as well. It's hard to explain why this is a good idea, though I think most people have a sense that it is.
But I do know two of the fundamental impulses that make people add content to your site are 1) the joy of sharing their passion and 2) the marginal utility they realize from other people building on the asset they helped improve. That means the best way to encourage contribution is to 1) make that story as widely available as possible, and 2) make the scope for incremental improvements as broad as possible. (Or as the philosopher Earl Hickey said, "do good things and good things happen to you").
Mrflip
While content is what brings people to a community-driven site, it's not what keeps them there. The community and relationships they build on that site are typically what bring them back time and time again. Your content is of value, but it's the people creating it that can't be replaced. This is why StackOverflow and other sites offer their information under Creative Commons License. By doing so they are helping spread the valuable information that they have collected, and they know their community is really what makes their site worth coming too.
Brian Swanson
Open it.
Invite suggestions, extensions and inventions from the "community" as mrflip says who knows where it will lead. Get people onboard, there are various sites around with suggestions about how to build online communities, have a look at them.
If you inadvertantly kill the site, then start again, taking in to account whatever killed your project the first time around.
What have you got to lose?
EDIT: I've had a quick look at your site, you've already got the start of a community, advertise it at the climbing walls round the North West, organise some get togethers, organise a meetup for some beers, basically open it and sell it to everybody you meet.
Opening your data is a great idea, as long as you do it in a controlled way:
You may want to control how much data you give out, to prevent someone from just stealing all of your data and just duplicating your site
You may want to put a license agreement in place for users of your data
You may want to only give the data to someone with a verified identity (e.g. email, telephone, etc), so that you can enforce the license agreement
Most importantly, you'll want to know exactly who's using the data (name, company, email, etc), because people who use your data are some of your best potential business partners, potential customers, etc.

Tibetan Buddhist monks organize prayers for victims, families of Sandy Hook school
By Sharon McGreevey, The Redding Pilot, January 4, 2013
Mysore, India -- Tibetan monks are praying in Mysore, India, for the victims and families of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, as well as the Newtown community. The school was the site of a horrific tragedy where a lone gunman killed 20 kindergartners and six adults last month, on Dec. 14.
<< Students and teachers at Sera Mey Monastery in India offer their prayers for the victims and families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and the community of Newtown. Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche, spiritual director of Do Ngak Kunphen Ling, Tibetan Buddhist Center for Universal Peace (DNKL), in Redding, and Geshe Dhargye, right, in the back row, resident teacher and scholar, organized the prayers. They are currently visiting and teaching at Sera Mey Monastery.
“We are all one. Even on the other side of the world people are praying for you. We send prayers of compassion from Sera Mey Monastery in India,” said Geshe Lobsang Dhargye of Do Ngak Kunphen Ling, Tibetan Buddhist Center for Universal Peace (DNKL), in Redding.
Currently, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche, spiritual director of DNKL, and Geshe Dhargye, resident teacher and scholar, are visiting and teaching at Sera Mey Monastery in India. As neighbors in Redding to the Newtown community, they share the sorrow and suffering brought forth by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Rinpoche and Geshe organized weekly prayer services for the victims, families and community.
Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche is also head of Thewo Khangsten in Sera Mey Monastery in India. As a senior scholar of the Gelugpa Tibetan Buddhist lineage, Rinpoche and Geshe offer traditional and authentic teachings in Redding and at the monastery in India.
Sera Mey Monastery history links directly to Buddha Shakyamuni. Sera Monastery is one of the “great three” Gelugpa university monasteries of Tibet. During the 1959 revolt in Lhasa, Sera monastery suffered severe damage. After the Dalai Lama took asylum in India, many of the monks of the Sera Monastery who survived moved to Bylakuppe in Mysore, India. They established a parallel Sera Monastery with Sera Mey and Sera Jey colleges and a Great Assembly Hall, similar to the original monastery.
There are now more than 3,000 monks living in Sera. This community has spread its teaching activities to several countries by establishing Tibetan Buddhist Dharma centers which share the knowledge of Buddhism, such as the DNKL Tibetan Buddhist Center in Redding (dnkl.org and facebook.com/DNKL.Buddhist.Center).

2019 Coface Country Risk Conference in Asia
Coface is optimistic about business risks in the United States and concerned about those of emerging countries such as Brazil and Thailand
Country risk and economic studies
In the United States growth and the confidence of business leaders is returning. Overall, advanced economies are doing better: after two years of recession, the eurozone will record modest but positive growth in 2014 (+1%). Within the Economic and Monetary Union, Germany is expected to show a remarkable recovery of 1.8%. France will experience slow growth (0.6%) and the end of the recession is in sight for Spain and Italy. But despite these improvements, the confidence of business leaders has not yet returned in Europe.
The concerns come from the emerging countries, which are facing a structural decline in growth (estimated at 4.8% overall in 2014), even though the BRICS countries will benefit indirectly from the recovery in advanced economies.
Therefore Coface has revised its country risk assessments for the United States, Brazil and Thailand.
United States: A2 placed on positive watch, despite the budget paralysis
The prospect for sustained and balanced growth (estimated at 1.5% in 2013 and 2.2% in 2014) leads Coface to place the A2 (1) assessment of the United States on positive watch, despite the current budgetary pressures.
Business investment is robust. Private consumption, the main driver of growth, is making better progress than before the crisis, as households reach the end of their debt reduction. Improvements are also noticeable on the business side. Margins and profitability are increasing while debt levels are low (55% compared to 85% in the eurozone), although growth in some sectors (construction materials, copper, paper) remains anemic. Businesses are the strong segment of the economy: they have low debt and are very profitable.
Though the government shutdown was a surprise, it should not have a significant effect on business provided that it does not persist in the long term. However, uncertainties related to the US government debt ceiling remain high and the risk of non-recovery cannot be ruled out. In this risk scenario, private demand could be significantly affected. However, at this stage our main scenario is that this impasse should be avoided at all costs, so that private consumption and investment remain robust despite further possible budget cuts.
Brazil: A3 placed on negative watch, due to structural problems
Growth in Brazil is disappointing (estimated at 2.3% this year and 2.9% in 2014) due to less buoyant private consumption and particularly weak business investment. The origins of the economic difficulties are structural. The lack of infrastructure is constraining business. Rising interest rates in the wake of the Selic may reach nearly 10% in late 2013, which averts any prospect of a significant recovery.
The slowdown in consumption weakens industries and businesses that depend on it: household appliances, automotive, electronics. Rising interest rates and inflated prices for imported components and machinery, due to the depreciation of the real, are made worse by taxes and production costs that remain high. Companies hesitate to accelerate their investments. In this context, payment incidents of Brazilian companies recorded by Coface remain at a high level, close to the peak of 2009. Both macroeconomic and microeconomic factors justify a negative watch of Brazil's A3 (2)assessment.
Thailand: A3 placed on negative watch, due to rising household debt
Risks are increasing in Thailand, whose A3 assessment is now on negative watch. Growth there has fallen sharply in 2013 and will remain constrained by household debt (80% of GDP) in 2014. The effects of previous stimulus measures are wearing off. In addition, the country will continue to suffer from sluggish exports, particularly related to its dependence on the Chinese slowdown.

Orphaned Roots
A Sea Change (6): On North American Cooperation
On June 23, 2017 CRL convened Expanding the Shared Collections Network: A CRL Forum, as a venue for community input on CRL’s shared print agenda. Since partnerships are a key element of that agenda, we used the Forum to learn what will be most important to CRL libraries in such partnerships. Here are the important points that emerged in the discussions:
In expanding the CRL shared print serial collections, providing access as well as preservation will be essential. The shared collections should be “accessible and curated” and “discoverability and easy access will be critical to faculty buy-in”.
“Access can mean many things.” While ILL and document delivery are routinely provided by most libraries, some form of enhanced access will have to be a baseline requirement for CRL shared print to satisfy researchers.
Access to CRL shared collections currently involves loan of extended runs of journals, scanning of materials on request, and programmatic digitization. Providing those services will be a high bar for shared print partners, and will require CRL to provide incentives
“Curation matters to collections managers; redundancy matters more to library directors and to scholars.” A curatorial approach to print sharing, i.e., actively improving holdings, through gap-filling and continuation, and strategic digitization would increase the value and sustainability of the shared print effort, and could reduce the need for redundant holdings. Like enhanced access it would also have a cost.
Cooperation and Data
Given the magnitude of the print serials corpus, CRL must cooperate and align its own shared collections effort with those of other U.S. and Canadian libraries committed to preserving print. CRL should focus on its established collection strengths and enlist other shared print efforts to expand its preservation footprint.
“Libraries of record” will play an essential role. Many major libraries are committed to maintaining deep holdings of legacy print serials, and those holdings figure in the calculus on what to retain and what to withdraw. Essentially, “Those libraries are part of the existing safety net.”
Unfortunately, confidence in the accuracy and currency of existing bibliographic and holdings records for print serials is low. Records currently available locally and in WorldCat are “not up to the task.” Many do not indicate gaps or lack unique identifiers, for example. “The cost of good holdings and bibliographic data is high and our holdings records aren't ready.”
WorldCat and the PAPR database can serve as the foundation for the more robust tools and data needed to support print sharing. Working together CRL and OCLC should improve the data and resources and integrate the “metadata pieces” needed for informed library decision-making and collection management.
What Does This Suggest for CRL?
On August 30, CRL’s Collections and Services Policy Committee met by phone to discuss the Forum input. Committee members agreed that CRL, working with the major research “libraries of record” and shared print programs in the U.S. and Canada, should create a “roadmap” that reconciles the shared print agenda promulgated by CRL in 2016 with the strategies and goals of those other initiatives.
Given the real and increasing pressure on libraries, the roadmap might involve a two-track approach: 1) quickly put in place a “light-weight” safety net to enable near-term withdrawal of widely held print serials; and 2) form robust partnerships for long-term curation and accessibility of endangered and less widely-held materials at scale. This approach is analogous to the national monograph strategy, led by Jisc, now emerging in the U.K.
In moving forward, CRL will give priority to achieving synergies with efforts in which CRL libraries are invested. Meeting CRL requirements will have a cost for new partner organizations, and CRL will therefore have to provide incentives, perhaps through in-kind services, monetary compensation, or a reduction in the CRL cost share of libraries contributing services.
CRL will work with U.S. and U.S. and Canadian initiatives to map specific areas for joint action. To that end CRL is co-sponsoring, with the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL/ABRC), Library and Archives Canada, and the University of Toronto Libraries @Risk North, Collections en péril, a conference on November 10 to examine the potential for strategic cooperation among Canadian shared print efforts, and for linkages between those efforts and U.S. initiatives.

More to come as events unfold.

The Beatles Go To 11: Tim Carbone's Picks
Comments Off on The Beatles Go To 11: Tim Carbone
The Impound is asking our favorite musicians to pick their eleven favorite Beatles songs in an effort to offer Fab-u-lous insights in our shared love of the greatest rock band of all-time. The latest entry comes from Tim Carbone, a musician DI has no problem describing as ridiculously talented and not a little magic. When Tim is firing on all cylinders – which is most of the time – he not only shines in his own right but works as an inspired catalyst to his fellow players. Put another way, Carbone makes music richer, better and a number of other positive adjectives. The Railroad Earth violinist was one of the first people DI thought of for this series and we’re happy to present a slice of his fertile, wisdom-rich mind.
Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone’s 11 Favorite Beatles Songs
Tim Carbone by Suzy Perler
When Dennis asked me to do this I knew it would be hard. As an “uber fan” it seems almost impossible to pick eleven favorite Beatles songs. It might actually be easier to pick my eleven least favorite and then all the rest would be my favorite. I have decided not to put them in order of preference but instead I will put them in chronological order.
I have a very typical “reason why I became a musician” story, especially for a musician my age. I decided I was going to be a musician when I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964. I come from a musical family. My parents met while my mom was in a dance band playing at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC for dancers being instructed by my dad. Two of my older brothers were in bands and some of my earliest memories include my brothers and their friends singing “doo wop” on my front porch. But when The Beatles broke into “All My Loving” that night in 1964, my fate was sealed. I turned to my mom and said, “That’s what I want to do!” And so my first choice for my eleven favorite Beatles songs is where it all started…
[Chronological Order]
A Paul tune all the way. Concise, crisp with a really strong vocal that bordered on a rasp. I loved it from the first downbeat. Ringo rocking back and forth and George stomping his foot, I was transfixed! Of course, seeing hundreds of girls go berserk may have had a bit to do with it. Ironically, the song would be playing on the sound system in the emergency room when John Lennon was pronounced dead at Roosevelt Hospital on December 8th, 1980, another date that changed my life. (LISTEN)
I’m A Loser
John in his “Dylan” period. John explained, “Part of me thinks I’m a loser and part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.” The record was recorded after coming back from touring America. The album title seems to sum up the time period and so do the album photos. Pretty dark compared to their previous work.
Geek alert! Just a word on the recording of these early albums: In England at this time the vast majority of the record buying public owned and listened to records recorded in mono. Record players that played stereo recordings were expensive and beyond the means of most post-war Brits. As a result the stereo mixes were treated almost as an afterthought. The songs were recorded to 2 and 4 tracks with drums almost always bounced (mixed down) to one track. That meant, most of the time, the drums were either going to be in the left or right channel – makes for an unbalanced listen. More importantly, the only mixes that The Beatles themselves had their hands on were the mono mixes. When they released the mono box-set some years ago I purchased them and it was almost like hearing the songs for the first time. It was remarkable! I’ll be geeking out along the way here so sorry to those who I will inevitably bore. (LISTEN)
I’ll Follow The Sun
Do you have a song you love that immediately puts you in the same mood you were put in the first time you heard it? “I’ll Follow The Sun” is such a song for me. There’s something about the “walking down the street” groove and the pitter patter drum beat that makes me happy-sad every time – a Paul song with a simple form. John and Paul double the short verses with Paul singing the single line verse alone. The bridge is classic with Lennon singing a descending harmony that also gives the song its happy-sad feeling. Love, love this song. (LISTEN)
One of Lennon’s great songs, a thinly veiled reference to an affair he was having. Unusual for a number reasons, it was in 3/4 time, not too common for a rock band, and it also featured the first appearance of the sitar on a Beatles song, perhaps the first ever on a rock record. Paul helped on the middle eight. (LISTEN)
When I hear this song my mind rewinds the movie reel of my life and I relive the times and memories with the people I’ve loved and lost. As I get older the list of people this song conjures up to me keeps growing. A powerful song can do that, transport you. It sounds like a collaboration – middle eight has Paul written all over it. The solo sounds like a harpsichord but is actually a piano piece written and played by George Martin and recorded at half speed, thereby sped up on playback making it an octave higher. (LISTEN)
She Said, She Said
A total Lennon song. In fact, Paul doesn’t even play on it. That’s George playing the bass. A very trippy track. It was included in many of my psychedelic soundtracks. “I know what it’s like to be dead.” The story goes that Peter Fonda spit out the line describing a near-death experience he had whilst tripping with John, George and Ringo. It wasn’t the only or last LSD inspired bit of Lennon writing. I love the jangling, semi-distorted guitar figures and the circular drumming. (LISTEN)
This is a highly underrated Paul song. The horns! Close miked, compressed and right in your face! The vocal is so amazing, especially the ad libs at the end. The outro on the mono version is completely different then the stereo version we’re so used to hearing. It goes on about 10 or 15 seconds longer with the trumpet and Paul’s vocal wailing away. (LISTEN)
Good Morning, Good Morning
An underrated Lennon classic. More overly compressed horns courtesy of Sound Incorporated. I love this song mostly because I’ve always thought the guitar solo was the most ripping on any Beatles record. I played air guitar in front of the mirror in my bedroom when I was a kid a thousand times to it. It wasn’t until I started recording and producing records and studying how these recordings were made that I found out that the guitar solo was performed by Paul! (LISTEN)
One of the few songs featuring just one Beatle. In this case George. The lyrics are my essential philosophy in life. They are the simple pieces of the puzzle. Thank you, George, for introducing me to this way of life and the music of India that has so moved me and influenced my music and way of thinking. (LISTEN)
Revolution #1
I had the [White Album poster up in my room for two years. I stared at it for clues. Paul, upper left corner. Paul is dead. He blew his mind out in a car. There it was! Turn me on, dead man,, turn me on, dead man. They had practically ceased being a band. They were recording their separate songs many times separately, occasionally on the same day in different parts of Abbey Road. Even their long time engineer Geoff Emerick bailed on them. Ken Scott engineered most of the record. Me and my friends had had it with the Vietnam War, school, parents… Fuck it all! This song was the soundtrack of my life then. The geek point in this song is that the incredibly distorted guitar was achieved by plugging the electric guitar directly into the Redd mixing desk and cascading one overdriven pre-amp into another. Rip your head off guitar tone achieved! (LISTEN)
The first A-Side single for George and what a beauty! My second favorite guitar solo on a Beatles record. It has a tonally uplifting bridge thanks to the modulation from C major to A major, then back. Going to A minor (the relative minor) would have been more conventional. “You’re asking me will my love grow?” A major baby. It makes the song feel like it’s growing. After the discord of the White Album and the disaster that was Let It Be, Abbey Road brought the team back together. Geoff Emerick and George Martin were both back and The Beatles finished their career as a band on a very high note indeed. (LISTEN)
Like I said, all (or most) of The Beatles songs are my favorite and I could write about them all. These are but a small portion of them, the ones that most shaped me as a musician and a person. Thanks, Dennis, for letting me share my thoughts on these songs!

Turning trash into gold
28. November 2018 // All topics, News,
An on-site look at Hammond Farms in Lansing: What started in 1982 as a modest farm has become one of Michigan’s largest suppliers of compost and mulch.
Clifford E. Walkington is General Manager of Hammond Farms, where he’s been for 22 years. He took over from Lee Hammond Senior. Lee Hammond Junior, son of the company founder, is ready to take on the job. “I’ve been with the company since I was in school”, he says. “I was bagging product when I was ten.”
A true success story
Lee Hammond Senior’s idea was that Lansing needed a “one-stop-shop” for all gardening products. “We never stopped developing along those lines”, says Clifford. Today the company puts out nearly 80,000 cubic metres of mulch, including 50,000 cubic metres of coloured mulch. “In the past few years organic waste has become more and more important”, says Clifford. Now the farm processes large volumes of green cuttings compost and mixes it down to about 40,000 cubic metres of premium soil substrate. Hammond even has paving and decorative stones on offer.
“We turn what looks like trash into a beautiful product.” – Clifford E. Walkington
An eye for the process
In addition to processing the biodegradable waste, Clifford needed to find the right recipe for composting this very damp material. “We used to mix the material with front loaders. That took two weeks. Now we do the same amount in three quarters of a day with a Topturn X63. You can only earn money with the process when you understand it. And we do, at both ends.” Hammond Farms gets paid not just to take the organic waste, but also for the finished product.
Spring in high season
Spring is when Hammond is at its busiest. Demand for all products starts to rise in late March along with the temperature. “At the beginning of spring we can’t make enough material”, says Clifford. “The two screeners run practically around the clock.” The screeners he’s talking about are star screens, a Multistar L3 and an XL3. The L3 is the older one, with six years at Hammond and over 5000 operating hours under its belt. “The screeners go far towards reducing shredding costs, because we only need to reshred the screen overflow”, says Clifford of the economic considerations involved.
“We also know that we have a responsibility to educate the public. More and more schools and interested individuals come to visit us and tour the plant”, says Clifford. “And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The next generation needs to do better, and I’m sure they will.”

IF YOU CAN'T DO THE WORM, BEAT THE WORM.
If you're tired of hearing about Worm Guard repeatedly by every white belt and keyboard Grand Master, we are here to let you know we feel the same. Is the worm guard cool, yea, it's innovative, but its evolution and use shouldn't be all that surprising, nor is the position very complex. We will agree that it's a major pain in the ass to deal with. That's why for every crazy guard that freakishly flexible guys develop, there is an intelligent counter that we can all do. There also exists a counter that is just as nuts as the original attack.
Today, StockMMA and Isaac Doederlein bring us a rolling back take, and a smash pass from countering your opponents wormguard. Watch, enjoy and try not to pull anything in the process of drilling.

Perhaps the situation you're referring to (behind your hyperbole) should be expected, considering that this is a Twin Peaks/David Lynch fan forum? In fact I'm not sure there's a place on the entire internet where yours and others' 'profoundly disappointed' sentiments, especially after all these weeks/months, seem more ill-placed. Virtually every single place I've seen/heard the new season discussed has had more positive energy about it than this, a Twin Peaks/Lynch forum. There's been so much enthusiasm surrounding the new season, such open-mindedness, such warmth to its aims. But coming here, one would never know it.
Those of you still coming here to (do little or nothing but) complain about the new season--why? If it was me, I'd let the people who did enjoy it have their fun. That would seem to be the more high-minded option. At worst, some of the posts in this thread are motivated by bitterness and/or out-right mean-spiritedness, and in their self-absorption and determination for others to get as little enjoyment out of something as they have, do not warrant sincere engagement. There is of course a place for constructive criticism--but this is something else.
And why do you come to this thread? Do you feel endangered by one measly thread on this entire forum devoted to the season's woes and weaknesses? No one's forcing you to come here and read the posts that spoil your fun with the new series, so why do it? As I see it, folks here are mostly keeping to their own thread, they don't venture onto other threads and lecture those who enjoyed the show for what it was (and wasn't) and try to influence their opinion - so who's really bothering who here? Wanna talk about mean-spiritedness, bitterness, negative energy and self-absorption? How about Lynch's recent statement that Season 2 sucked?

Don't be obtuse; it's obviously dispiriting to see this thread almost every time one clicks on this forum.
What's dispiriting and obvious is in the eye of the beholder. To me, for instance, it's dispiriting to see 3456 other threads unreservedly celebrating S 3's non-sense and the creators' self-indulgent shenanigans every time I click on this forum. So what? I don't force you to deal with my traumas or change the way you feel about the series or stop posting about it just because I'm bitter that TP as I knew it went to shit. Let's just agree to let each other be. And I insist, the only one who can be accused of mean-spiritedness for the way he's been treating the TP legacy is The Man himself.

I disagree, if someone replies to a criticism of TP:TR being weak, boring, pointless, dull, poorly acted, nonsensical with 'David Lynch is God', then it's just that they've just lost the ability to counter the criticism. Arguing back with 'David Lynch is a fraud' (or whatever) is a distraction from talking about the work, and the profoundly disappointing experience of watching it.
Oh trust me - I've tried my darnest to counter fanboy arguments with critically distant analysis over and over again on Welcome to Twin Peaks. I put so much time and passion into them for several weeks, disproved every accusation of being a mindless sheep who just doesn't appreciate art and pulled things apart on a molecular level. Once my opponents ran out of arguments they almost always defaulted to "Go away you hater! It's all subjective! Lynch isn't for everyone!".
Eventually I just lost patience and found this thread. Of course, by this point I'd turned from civilised feelings of disappointment while still happy to discuss things with fans TO absolute piss-taking rage because of not being taken seriously for so long. This seems to be a universal experience on this thread.
What really takes the cake is that during all those fruitless arguments I discovered that I know a good deal more about Lynch, the international arthouse scene and film/TV academia than most of the staunch TR defenders I'd engaged with. And I was the one accused of "not getting Lynch and arthouse" ...

How noble of you 99% of Internet discussions during TR's airings were dedicated to 'people having fun' by shouting down all criticism aggressively while constantly moving the goal-poasts to describe why TR's apparently so great (like with the nostalgic ep. 16 after having used 'nostalgia' as an insult for 15 eps prior!!!). Frankly, I have never seen anything like it with a movie or TV show ever. Even on the craziest IMDb boards back in the day no one tried to shut up posters with negative opinions - they would just throw really emotional insults at worst.
For some reason fans of TR just cannot live and let live. They take every criticism (no matter how well substantiated) as a deep personal insult. Like the poster above, they get upset by merely SEEING the title of this thread when they enter the forum.
I mean, what the hell??
"in their self-absorption and determination for others to get as little enjoyment out of something as they have, do not warrant sincere engagement. There is of course a place for constructive criticism--but this is something else."
Would you kindly point me to such a place? I've found zero threads filled with constructive criticism beyond this one after scouring the web quite thoroughly. Where have you personally sincerely engaged with a critic of TR or Lynch from a neutral position? Give us an example.

Personally, I have never been so enraged by negative opinions on any piece of media I love that I would try to shut those people up and accuse them of compromising my enjoyment. It's incredibly ironic that the poster was saying exactly that WHILE advocating for high ground!! In fact, I tend to read the bad reviews on Rotten Tomatoes first to get a different perspective.

I 100% disagree. As a fan of Lynch and Twin Peaks who has been profoundly disappointed by The Return. I find this thread extremely heartening. The attempts at intertextual vandalism being committed against the original series by TR have been profound on multiple levels across craft, plot and subtext. Having a place where people acknowledge the failings for what they are and unpick some of the damage seems only right and proper.
Eva Marie wrote: For some reason fans of TR just cannot live and let live.
Sorry, I don't really see the need to have this us-and-them argument. Yes, people have different opinions, but pointing the finger of blame or having a meta-discussion about how those people who report their experiences of watching TR on the internet one way are bad folk, and people who report another way are good folk isn't going to change anything and is a distraction from the work. Sure, internet discussion can be frustrating at times, but that's inevitable, don't let it get you down.
Still disappointed.

"Thank you, Mr David. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
This Twin Peaks The Return was beyond incredible. I for one loved how the hero Dale Cooper turned into a vegetable for about 16 long lasting hours and especially its climax when he literally showed how to connect the dots to all these die hard fans all over the world.
At the very end not only did the hero die, no he did not even exist at all. His name was Richard.
I am sure that I will watch and re-watch this Twin Peaks The Return over and over again for the rest of my days and I will write about its superbness forever more.
[not one millimeter of irony intended, just saying]
The recipe for art, according Mark Rothko:
In 1958 Rothko gave a talk about "The recipe of a work of art - its ingredients - how to make it - the formula." Pretty interesting I think. It's a lot to consider when creating.
1. There must be a clear preoccupation with death - intimations of mortality.
2. Sensuality. Our basis of being concrete about the world. It is a lustful relationship to things that exist.
3. Tension. Either conflict or curbed desire.
4. Irony.
5. Wit and play.
6. The ephemeral and chance.
7. Hope. 10% to make the tragic concept more endurable.
I measure these ingredients very carefully when I paint a picture. It is always the form that follows these elements and the picture results from the proportions of these elements." (Wikipedia)

Muffin and mtl, I can't believe this still has to be pointed out, but this is one little thread in a big World Wide Web for people to express disappointment in TPTR. If it gets you down to even see the thread title in amongst all the other threads praising the series to the skies, you need to get a grip on your head.
Now go away, enjoy loving the series elsewhere and let us stew in peace. You're just being rude.

Ditto, but this isn't a complaint on my part. The fanboy reaction to The Return was fascinating, the clearest case of artistic Emperor's New Clothes I've witnessed. If Lynch retains any genius it's in his ability to beguile fans and critics into granting leeway they'd grant no other artist, and yeah, the golly-jeepers act is key. "But wait, he can't be just another vicious old chauvinist because he kinda speaks and gawps innocently like Jimmy Stewart."
Around week 5 or so I got over the disappointment of what this show was doing to Twin Peaks' and FWWM's legacy and began to find it compelling for the bizarre fan and critics' response, and also for the dawning realisation that it was one of the worst things ever aired, the kind of show that even without any TP connection I'd have been pestering friends to watch. These are the things that kept me watching and coming to threads like this, as well as the refresher course all this provided in what really matters in works of art. Plus, being really honest, it was quite exhilarating to actually hate a TV show -- really despise it the way you'd despise certain bands in your teenage years. Is that healthy? I'm not sure, but it certainly was fun to join in group emails that were a veritable Manhattan Project of Lynch and TR pisstakes, way too extreme to be posted here. And as I'm going to get to use these emails and my posts here in another project, it wasn't the waste of time it sometimes seemed.
BTW just as it's interesting how many English, Scots and Irish this thread featured, relatively speaking, the same is true of the % of female posters. Those who fall for Lynch's act are mainly men. Funny, that.

It's always nice to know we are in such mature company on here, irony or not. Life has opposites. It has people who like things and people who don't. I don't necessarily agree with everything on here that has been said against the show or the way it has been said but I also don't agree with what has been said pretty much, positively about the show though have greatly enjoyed reading posts in this thread by fans like Mr Reindeer who is always incredibly respectful to all, which is appreciated. I am though mature enough to say that the last two episodes did intrigue me and I only wish the rest of the the 16 episodes had been more like it. If you are going to post in this thread Xavi a modicum of balance and maturity would be appreciated, unless you are 13 years of age then in which case, you have a few more years to go before reaching the intellectual brevity required for the majority of this thread.

Mittelberglesee
Mittelberglesee (2450m) is a very beautiful lake with spectacular views. Not only the views from the lake are beautiful, during the tour we also enjoyed the landscape. It is located almost at the bottom of the Pitztal valley, narrower and quieter than the neighboring valleys. Pitztal is known for its great peaks, many of them above 3000m and its large glacier areas, most of them can be seen from Mittelberglesee.
The route begins in Trenkwald, in the Pitztal valley, which we reach from the A12 motorway through the Imst / Pitztal exit. Access is possible in urban transport, but with many transfers from Innsbruck.
The route that we follow has two phases, in the first one we ascend in a very direct way, gaining a lot of altitude to leave the bottom of the valley. Then a diagonal is made to later alternate slopes and plateaus until you reach Mittelberglesee.
00:00 Start. We take the track that begins next to the car park and crosses the river. Just after crossing it, we take a path to the right (direction W) instead of following the track that goes to the south. The path ascends through a forest in a very direct way, with a high slope. As we go forward, the forest loses density until it becomes a scrubland.
00:40 End of the forest. The forest ends and the path makes a diagonal, also very direct, to the right (NW) by scrubland.
00:55 Change of direction. We reach a plateau, where the path makes a notable change of direction towards the southeast (left). The path softens and gradually gains altitude, making a diagonal that cuts the slope.
01:30 Couloir. We arrive to a wide couloir where a river flows, the path ascends more sharply towards the bottom of the channel.
01:50 Plateau. We climb a first slope that takes us to another plateau, where the river runs quieter and meandering. We ascend parallel to the river on its left side, to climb the last pass that takes us to our destination.
02:15 Mittelberglesee. We reach the lake, from where we can enjoy stunning views. The descent path is the same, at 03:05 we arrive at the change of direction, at 03:25 we entered the forest and arrive at Trenkwald at 03:45.
Path through the forest Plateau where we change direction Views to Hohe Geige Long diagonal and peak Parstleskogel Couloir Views to Hohe Geige Last plateau Views of the meandering river Mittelberglesee and Parstleswand Mittelberglesee with peaks Hohe Geige, Silberschneid and Ampferkogel Hohe Geige

I didn't kill your son, murder-for-hire mobster Joseph Meldish tells victim's mom during sentencing
Joseph Meldish was convicted of pumping nine shots into Joseph Brown.
A notorious murder-for-hire mobster swore to his victim's mother at sentencing Tuesday that he didn't gun down her son.
And he ripped into prosecutors for painting him as a cold-blooded killer.
"You painted me as a monster, but I didn't kill that man," Joseph Meldish, 54, told prosecutor Christine Scaccia during a dramatic court hearing in the Bronx.
Meldish, who was convicted of pumping nine shots into Joseph Brown, 35, then turned to Brown's mother, Bernadette.
"My heart goes out to you, but I didn't kill Joseph," Meldish told the grieving mother, explaining how his own son died in a 1993 car wreck.
"I suffered the same way you suffered. I would never harm your son," he said.
Law enforcement sources said Meldish was longtime muscle for the Purple Gang, an independent crew originally affiliated with the Lucchese, Genovese and Bonanno crime families.
Police believe the ex-enforcer carried out roughly 70 contract killings before cops nailed him for Brown's murder in 2007, sources said.
"He was the Throgs Neck Bully," Scaccia said in court.
Meldish's lawyer, Murray Richman, said the current murder case was built on lies.
"My client is not a choir boy, but he's not guilty of these charges," Richman said.
Richman also said he's uncovered new evidence showing the prosecution's star witness might have perjured himself.
Brown's mom said Meldish's sentence of 25 years to life in prison offered little solace.
"All that may have been is gone," she said.

Samurai Shodown Sen Arrives in April
Posted by TurtleGirl On March - 29 - 2010
Leading video games publisher Rising Star Games has today announced that the legendary fighting game series Samurai Shodown Sen will arrive on the Microsoft Xbox 360 on 16th April.
Developed by SNK Playmore, Samurai Shodown Sen, (also known as Samurai Spirits: Flash in Japan) is a weapons-based 3D fighting game that was originally released in Japanese arcades asSamurai Shodown Sen. It takes place in Japan during the twilight of the turbulent Edo period, and promises to be the most brutal and visceral instalment in the Samurai Shodown series’ history.
“We’re delighted to announce the release date for Samurai Shodown Sen,” says Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. “As an exclusive Xbox 360 title, gamers will be clamouring to get their hands on this game. Not only does the Samurai Shodown series have incredible heritage, but the fact it’s still evolving 16 years down the line after 10 solid instalments proves that gamers’ appetites are as strong as ever for this classic fighting franchise.”
Samurai Shodown Sen follows a young European girl named Suzu, rescued off Japan’s coast, adopted by the Amori Clan and raised as Princess Suzu. A decade later she saves Takechiyo, a self-proclaimed master of martial arts, after his ship sinks and he ends up washed on the beach; soon after this chance meeting, the tables turn when Princess Suzu mysteriously disappears and Takechiyo pledges to find his missing rescuer.
There are over 20 fighters to choose from, new and old. Alongside Princess Suzu and Takechiyo, a plethora of old favourites from the series have been faithfully incorporated, including Haohmaru, Galford, Hanzo Hattori, Nakoruru and Ukyo Tachibana. Players can become any one of these fighters and battle against friends via Xbox LIVE to see who can reach the top of a worldwide online ranking system.
The Samurai Shodown series made its debut on the NeoGeo over 16 years ago, notching up over 10 instalments across a variety of formats, reinforcing the longevity and durability of the franchise. Samurai Shodown Sen marries the tradition of the series to the high definition of the Xbox 360, introducing new characters and fighting skills, while remaining loyal to existing favourites.
Rising Star Games will release Samurai Shodown Sen on the Xbox 360 on 16th April.

Dear Lord of Fairness...please protect me from tomorrow...Amen...
Hi, it's been a while...I know...
But I still have no use for tomorrow...I like, appreciate 'now'...I like 'right now'...I like 'this moment'...it's calm I'm safe, you're safe...but no telling what either of us will be tomorrow.
I don't need for tomorrow to arrive....I just don't...
Tomorrow is not comforting to me...but right now is...cause I'm alive and safe, and comfortable.
But come tomorrow, the beast will awaken, and swallow many people up.
Hope all are well...be safe, love life, and enjoy now...later...
Look, right now you're not being rated or judged, or evaluated.
You're just here, 'as is'...in the attic where it is quiet and safe.
Tomorrow is like a raging bull, waiting to pounce, to buck...
But that bull, or bully, will just have to wait, for right now you're in 'this moment'...safe and sound, like I am.
But come tomorrow I don't know, there is no garantees for tomorrow, and is why I cherish 'now' so much.
'Now' is all I need, time, tomorrow, not so much.
For in this world, time simply represents corrosion.
Welcome to 'the attic', a place where you can simply enjoy now, relax, and be at ease...
You are safe, here in the Twylight Zone, in the 'now'...
Late night in the attack... Mar 16, 2014 18:53:20 GMT -5

Place is clean, all is peaceful and quiet, why can't it stay this way?
We go forward for who, for the sake of the greedy?

Well, I'm not in the 'attic' right now, but I do love 'after time'...meaning time after 5 pm, when all corporate monsters retire for the evening and leave you alone.
It's peaceful, or can be.

This is the attic, of course you're welcome here.
You and your pain.
I don't judge, and to me you're beautiful cause of your strength.
Yes you can, and in my presence you will...

Late night in the attic
Yes it's that time, late night in the attic again.
That safe spot or moment in time, ever so brief, where no one or nothing can touch you and ruin your life experience.
But time is always the enemy, that corrosive thing, that forward movement of atoms.
Tomorrow is a big void to me right now, that promises nothing, and that will be the end of many.
And it's why I prefer 'now', this exact moment, when all is safe and calm, in the attic.
Nothing but quiet fan blowing.
I have no need for tomorrow right now, zero need for it.
I'm totally content with 'right now', this moment, when I'm left alone, and not forced to interact with a system that's stacked against you.
In the attic there is no bias, just conscious thought.
You're valued simply cause you're alive and aware, and not based on assets or any other worldly measuring methods.
The attic is a peaceful place, feel free to explore other posts.

Just don't really need tomorrow to come or arrive
Just don't really need tomorrow to come or arrive right now, I really don't.
I'm totally satisfied with now, this moment, the peacefulness of the dark.
The stars, the calm, the freedom.
Welcome to the attic, where at least for a moment, you to can be free to be you and just relax, cause no one owns you here.
Who cares about tomorrow...

What a calm peaceful evening in the Attic
Tomorrows not here yet, what a lovely moment.
Quiet, peaceful and comfortable.
Tomorrow simply brings a man made storm, where you get shoved along and forced to do things you don't want to, forced to labor in ways you'd rather not.
But mans system drags you along the concrete of life, jagged edges and all.
So it's better to walk a little, and pretend you're getting by rather than get dragged.
Tomorrow has zero meaning to me right now.
Now, this moment, is all I'm concerned with right now, so peaceful and still.
Last Edit: May 17, 2015 20:04:56 GMT -5 by X factor
I don't know...this jazz, back when musicians just were magical at their talent and played with a certain energy, perfected their art..
In the attic just trying to hold onto this moment, trying to forget about tomorrow arriving which will totally interrupt the natural flow of life.
Not the Earth rotating, but more like the system man has developed and forces you to partake in...to labor in, knowing in the end you really make no gains.
Anyways...enjoy the video, it goes way back to the 60's and how different professional entertainers acted, at least Jazz ones.
The man playing the sax is so well spoken, so professional, yet artistically adrift for that particular time period.
Sometimes I just like going back and imagining it being the way I want it to, not necessarily as it was, but how I need it to be in own mind in order to relax.
Sometimes I, we all, just need to pretend certain eras were better than they really were in order to relax and derive comfort.
Anyhow welcome to the attic, relax and enjoy, the most calm special place on all the net.
And only you and a few others know about it.

I don't want tomorrow to come
These peaceful moments are so hard to find, getting harder and harder to find, peaceful late nights in the attic, where all is quiet and still.
Where tomorrows filthy hands, filthy grip, has yet to lay hands on anyone, including myself.
Tomorrow is selfish and will eat many peoples souls up, tomorrow will devour many.
What dark things lie in wait tomorrow?
But if tomorrow never came, those dark things would have no power or control.
There comes a certain time in the evening when all music sounds like noise to me, all I need is the quite hum of the fan most of the time and I'm content.
Late night in the attic moments are becoming rare, but it sucks that when you do find that spot, that moment of detached peace, calm and tranquility, tomorrow comes looming around the corner like a horned beast waiting to devour you with all of it's uncertainty.
I wish I could just stay in the attic for 5 years straight, just peace and calm, and no tomorrow.
I turn phone off at night now
I turn phone off at night now, cause no one out there loves, me, and there's no one out there I'm in love with.
If the phone rings after 9 pm, it's the devil, and the devil only.
I turn phone off now so I can sleep in peace.
A quick and rare late night in the attack moment
Yes, it's late night in the attack, all is still, and tomorrow and it's treachery isn't here yet.
All is still, quiet, and peaceful, if only this moment could last for eternity.
Tomorrow is not needed, only 'now' is desired.
Cause 'now' is known, 'now' is safe, 'now' is fun, but tomorrow, the future, who knows what that will bring.
'Now' will leave you alone, can't say the same about tomorrow...be well and safe.

Artforum: Top Ten
Originally published in Artforum
September 2001, p 48
Lisa Ruyter, a New York-based artist, exhibited most recently at the Galerie Georg Kargl in Vienna. She is currently working on a solo show due to go on view next year at Berlin’s Arndt & Partner.
Olaf Breuning: Olaf Breuning’s sculptures often look like sets for his photographs, which often look like stills from his films, which often look like documentation of his sculptures. While creating a highly sophisticated, media-unspecific practice, he skirts kitsch, rearranging pop clichés in a way that disrupts any high/low discussion. This fall, New York’s Metro Pictures will be showing Apes, a sculptural installation that debuted at the Kunstverein Freiburg in June. With a low-tech presentation that includes spooky music, smoke machines, dirt, trees, and primates with glowing eyes, Apes is wholly lacking in irony. You walk away with a pure moment, a stolen pleasure, an embarrasingly sweet feeling.
Jessica Craig-Martin: The formal brutality of Craig-Martin’s flash photography flattens out the deepest space. She might be the photographer Warhol couldn’t be. Shooting people desperate to be seen at parties but with no desire to protect her subjects’ vanity, she opportunistically crops out their primary identifying features – faces, essential body parts. I’m curious to see her work develop now that people know what comes out of her camera. Will the parties change her or will she change parties?
Muntean/Rosenblum: Known for paintings based on magazine photos of teenagers, this collaborative team also makes sculptural installations that include “performances”—a person leaning against a sculpted car or sitting on a handmade workout bench. Coming upon live props can be unnerving, as if you’d discovered the mannequins in a store window were alive. M&R took me to “The Blue Lagoon,” a group of contractor’s model homes located in a lot near the Vienna Ikea. For their next show at Galerie Georg Kargl, the duo will erect a façade based on one of these houses.
Mary Heilmann: In the future, when we ask, “What did an abstract painting look like at the end of the twentieth century?” the answer may well be, “Like a Mary Heilmann.” Her bright, playful abstract canvases never look dated and can handle just about any context. It’s rewarding to see a seasoned pro prove to be hipper than anyone else around.
Brice Dellsperger: Assigning the name Body Double to almost everything he does, Dellsperger remakes specific movie scenes (often from Brian De Palma films), replacing the original actors with pierced transvestites via video collage. He has done the museum cruising scene from Dressed to Kill twice, setting it once in Euro Disney and once in the Kunstmuseum Wiesbaden. Amplifying the effects of De Palma’s constant doubling, he appropriates the work of the master appropriator. Check out www.bodydoublex.com, a site created for Body Double X, his recent full-length remake of a popular lowbrow French melodrama from the mid-’70s, in which every role is played by an actor named Jean-Luc Verna. It gets really disorienting, especially when a half-dozen characters are on screen at once.
Kim Sooja: Kim Sooja makes videos in which she is often at the center of the frame, facing away from the camera, absolutely motionless. This allows us to observe actions around her (and in some cases reactions to her) – a flowing river and the reflections of the sky, a rocky landscape under clouds, a busy street. Her work, which sometimes incorporates multiple-channel projections and installations of bright Korean fabrics, provokes a consideration of the displaced self.
Rachel Harrison: Harrison forces sculpture and photography to live together, however awkwardly, and in so doing, brings up one of the key challenges of modern life: How do we negotiate between physical and depicted space in a world where most lived space also functions as representation, or virtual reality? As place becomes more and more generic, her pictures show us a world where human presence defies the empty repetition of mass-market architecture; when she weds her pictures to a physical structure, the match is at once lifeless and exciting – the art equivalent to being stranded in an airport.
Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Catalog: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/pphome.html. A good way to brush up on these seminal American photographers like Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Russell Lee. But there’s much more than Farm Security Administration images here. The most entertaining way to navigate is to search “all categories / collections” and just type in a few of your favorite things or random words like ‘dream’ or ‘hair.’ The results are fast and fascinating, and the site can put you in touch with the odd idea of being “American.”
Lily van der Stokker: Straddling those twin conceits—the intimate and the public—van der Stokker’s wall paintings and furniture accompaniments function as performance art rather than objets d’art. Her paintings flaunt bright pastel colors and decoratively psychedelic patterns that are unabashedly pleasing, but there’s a conceptual end—a challenge to the role of the artist as pleasure provider— which fits snugly with the decidedly less-than-commercial format of work on walls. Her recent large-scale outdoor commissions, such as The Pink Building, created for Hannover’s Expo 2000, take her funky stuff and makes it epic.
Mitchell Algus Gallery (New York) Algus scours his collection of magazines, catalogues, and textbooks, to rediscover artists who, despite having been fundamental to the development of art trends in the ’60s and ’70s, weren’t written into the canon because they didn’t fit the categories of the moment. With a season timed to draw comparisons between his artists and current, flashy trend-setters, Algus’s increasingly attracts well-respected critics and fashionable artists who are willing to acknowledge the amnesia that goes hand in hand with fashion. No other gallery in New York so convincingly undermines received wisdom—and history.

Lamiaceae > Salvia splendens var. ,
Salvia splendens (Scarlet Sage or Tropical Sage) is a species of sage native to Brazil.
It is a sub-shrubby or herbaceous perennial plant growing to 1 m tall. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, elliptical, up to 7 cm long and 5 cm broad, with a toothed margin. The flowers grow on erect spikes up from the center of the plant in clusters of 2-6 together at each leaf node; they are bright red, tubular to bell-shaped, up to 35 mm long, with two lobes at the apex, the larger, upper lobe up to 13 mm long.
It is widely grown as an ornamental plant, with a large number of cultivars, such as Bonfire[1], selected for different flower color from white to dark purple. It is a tropical species which does not survive freezing temperatures as a plant, but can be grown in colder climates as an annual, reseeding itself very easily and requiring very little care. It likes full sun in cooler climates but may need partial shade during particularly hot summers.
The main pests are slugs, which can be a problem in moist environments.

Middle & South America
FSU/Russia
When will the joy ride end?
by Randy Udall and Steve Andrews
During the last century oil has transformed the world. British coal launched the Industrial Revolution, but American oil put the pedal to the metal. No other material has so profoundly changed the face of the world in such a short time.
Petroleum is black magic, the lifeblood of our civilization. The petroleum industry provides 40 % of the globe's energy and is humanity's largest commercial enterprise. Oil is our most concentrated, flexible, and convenient fuel. Without petroleum there would be no automobile industry, no tourism. Without petroleum 2 % of Americans could not feed the remaining 98 %.
But oil is more than energy. It's the key feedstock for plastics, medicines, clothing, pesticides, paint, and thousands of other products. Fuelling Toyota or fabricated into Tupperware, petroleum is the world's premier commodity. Soon, experts say, world oil production will reach an all-time high, an apex, a peak. Then, after a short plateau, it will decline forever. What historians will someday call the Oil Era will last just two centuries. In 1998 we are closer to its end than its beginning.
The oil tribe
In 1859 oil was struck in Pennsylvania. The magic fluid unleashed Yankee ingenuity, put America on wheels, and helped to create the world's richest superpower. The transformation was unimaginably swift: In 1859 Americans travelled on horseback; in 1969 they drove Mustangs and flew to the Moon. Today it is difficult to overstate oil's importance to our economy. 4 % of the world's people, we use 25 % of the world's oil.
We are an Oil Tribe, the Petroleum Clan, imbibing about 3 gallons per person per day. The automobile is our most cherished icon, a new car our symbol of success. The local gasoline station is our secular temple where each week 150 mm Americans "fill 'er up." An average American drives 1,000 miles a month, 12,000 miles a year, the distance to the Moon every 20 years. The Oil Tribe numbers 265 mm. Together we weigh about 34 bn pounds. Hungry for speed, addicted to motion, we consume our weight in petroleum every 7 days.
Blessed by geology
Cheap oil has always been an American birthright. Through fate and geology, the United States was extravagantly blessed. Our original cargo was about 260 bn barrels; only one country, Saudi Arabia, had more. Oklahoma alone possessed more oil than Germany or Japan. California had more than Germany, Japan, France, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Italy combined. The US has-or rather had-20 times as much oil as India, 16 times as much as Brazil, 3 times more than China.
From 1859 to 1939 the US produced two-thirds of the world's oil. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbour in oil-starved desperation and Hitler failed to capture Russia's Baku oil field, American petroleum, and the industrial output it nourished, triumphed in World War II.
Strength through exhaustion
As recently as 1950 the US was producing half the world's oil. Forty-eight years later, we don't produce half our own oil. Domestic production peaked in 1970, 27 years ago, and today we produce just 45 % of the crude we consume. To fuel our economy we've drilled more and pumped longer than any nation on Earth, pursuing an oil policy that's been called "Strength Through Exhaustion."
Although the US remains the world's third largest producer, about 65 % of our petroleum has been burned. It's downhill from here.
Like death and taxes
Perhaps for the same reason that State Farm sells life insurance rather than death insurance, oil companies shun phrases like extraction and depletion. Instead they prefer production, as in "Chevron produces oil." This implies that we can manufacture oil at will, the way we do jeans or computers. In truth, petroleum reserves are finite and depletion is a reality like death and taxes.
Oil fields have been compared to track athletes whose best performance comes early in life. After a youthful sprint upwards, production peaks, plateaus, declines, and ends. Chevron speaks of the US as "mature" or "aging." That's mature, in the same way that 75 year-old golfer Arnold Palmer is mature. Tiny Kuwait, smaller than New Jersey, has three times the reserves of the entire US. To better grasp the concept of depletion, consider Pennsylvania.
Our most famous motor oil honours the state where the Oil Age began. Prior to the invention of the automobile, most oil was burned in kerosene lamps. For the first 25 years of the era Pennsylvania was the world's leading producer. (John D. Rockefeller coined America's largest fortune by cornering the Pennsylvania market.) In 1891 the Quaker State produced enough oil to light the US for 7 months. In 1937, when its production reached a second lower peak, Pennsylvania supplied enough to run the now motorized country for 7 days.
Today the state's oil could power the US for only 3 hours. Although there are still 19,000 wells in Pennsylvania, collectively they produce a puny 6,900 barrels each day. In contrast, Saudi Arabia produces 8 mm barrels -- 1,100 times as much -- from just 1,400 wells.
Gushers in Texas
As oil prospectors, some of them retired whalers, continued to harpoon the Earth, oil was struck in New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and then, Texas. Texas was a gusher, America's first world class find. If Texas had been a sovereign country, its oil riches would have placed it in the world's top ten. The state's original reserves were 6 times greater than those of India, 4 times greater than Brazil, twice as large as Norway.
Texas was big, as big as the braggadocio it came to symbolize. As thousands of men made fortunes in the oil patch, a new social class arose: the "oil millionaires." The Hunt brothers, George Bush, and Lyndon Johnson all made money in Lone Star oil. For the last 70 years the state has been America's leading oil producer. But production in Texas peaked in 1972 and has been declining rapidly since. According to the American Petroleum Institute, about 80 % of all the oil that will ever be produced in Texas is gone. This is not an anomaly. Thirty-one states produce oil and all are past their peaks. Oklahoma peaked in 1927, Colorado in 1956, Wyoming in 1970, Alaska in 1988.
Well, ok, if Pennsylvania and Texas are played out, why not drill more wells somewhere else? In fact, the US is already one of the most thoroughly explored and drilled countries on Earth. Of the 4.6 mm wells worldwide, 3.4 mm have been drilled in this country.
Very very few prospects remain. With the exception of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and a few deep water basins, we've been there and done that. From the oil industry's perspective, the US is Swiss cheese.
The last hurrah
The oil industry employs many smart, inventive, and creative people. In a quest to find more oil, the industry has developed a host of new exploration techniques, computer imaging software, and drilling methods. Many are being put to good use in the Gulf of Mexico. There, the oil majors are drillingin 5,000 feet of water-an astounding fact-with the likelihood that they will soon sink wells in 10,000 feet.
Analysts expect the Gulf to be America's last great bonanza. A mile under the ocean floor may lie 15 bn barrels. It's a lot of oil, but only as much as the nation uses every 2.5 years.
Hunting elephants
Ghawar. Burgan. Safaniya-Khafji. Zakum. These are the strange, unfamiliar names of the four largest oil fields in the world. Oil occurs rarely in nature and when it does it's often concentrated in large amounts. About 70 % of the world's petroleum is found in 370 giant fields, nicknamed "elephants" because they are so huge.
Western civilization -- life as we know it -- is based on these elephants. In part because they are so big, the elephants were easy to find and inexpensive to produce. (To get oil out of Ghawar, for example, costs the Saudis less than $ 1 per barrel.) The discovery rate for elephants peaked in the 1960s. It's getting harder and harder to find new ones. Indeed, many geologists believe that elephants are nearing extinction, that only a handful remain unfound.
The coming peak
In the same way that US oil production peaked in 1970, global production is destined to peak during the first two decades of the coming century. Some analysts expect a peak around 2005; some suggest it will be 2010; others believe it will come as late as 2020. The exact date can't be predicted, since it will depend as much on economic and political factors as on geology.
The biggest wild card? Saudi Arabia, the world's most prolific oil province. If the Saudis invest hundreds of billions of dollars they could double their output to meet expected demand. But they may decide not to double production, choosing instead to produce somewhat less oil and charge more for it. Although predicting the peak is impossible, this great turning point is imminent.
Collision in slow motion
A decline in world oil production? The thought takes some getting used to. What seems impossible is inevitable. The crunch may arrive suddenly. Or in slow motion. As Reagan's former Energy Secretary Donald Hodel says, "We're sleepwalking to disaster." When it happens, journalists will shout, "We're running out of oil." That's not true. Rather, we are running out of cheap oil.
After production peaks oil still will be readily available at a higher price, though in slowly declining amounts, for at least 50 years. What we face is not a short-term crisis but a chronic shortfall. No one will freeze in the dark (America still has a century of coal and 50 years worth of natural gas), but the transition to more expensive oil could be bumpy.
Crude crunch
As global oil production nears the peak, oil prices will rise, perhaps overnight with staggering impacts on the global economy. This absolutely predictable, absolutely inevitable oil crunch will likely have tremendous economic impacts.
Hitting as the Baby Boomers retire, it could rock our economy, psychology, and sense of self.
Gimme that oil time religion
Of course, not everyone agrees that we face an imminent crisis. (In part, it depends on how you define "imminent." Some people define it as "before I'm dead.") Business Week recently ran a cover article on global oil. The take home: don't worry, be happy, Exxon has you covered. Energy Secretary Pena talks hopefully about "reversing the decline in US oil production."
This is whistling past the graveyard. There's not that much oil left to find in the US. That's why the oil majors are trying to muscle in on Russia's Caspian Sea, 9,000 long miles from home. How the Caspian qualifies as "our oil" I'm not sure. The Chinese need it as badly as we do. Nonetheless, Henry Kissinger and Dick "Desert Storm" Cheney are lobbying to gain US companies preferential treatment.
There are many ways to soften the inevitable transition to a world in which oil is more expensive. They include more efficient cars, smarter land use planning, mass transit,and alternative fuels-but we won't begin implementing them, at the local or national level, until we recognize that a grave problem looms.
At the moment, this nation is asleep at the wheel. Time is short. If we want to retool our transportation systems, a world oil peak in 2010 or even 2020 is next month. A peak in 2005 is a train wreck tomorrow. But few are talking about this predictable development. Even fewer are planning for it.
In 1900 oil married the automobile. Together they gave birth to a century of travel. Today oil is so thoroughly woven into the fabric of America that we can't imagine life without it. Fish don't worry about water and Americans don't worry about oil. Instead we swim in it.
Think of your life: the kid schlepping, commuting, and errand running. Skiing on the weekend, Thanksgiving at mom's, a conference in Chicago, a jaunt to Vegas or Lake Powell, a Sunday drive to Grand Junction. I know middle-class Coloradans who do their Christmas shopping in Minnesota at the Mall of America. Texans drive 1,000 miles to shoot a Colorado elk, hunting-and-gathering taken to new extremes.
Oil is fundamental to agribusiness: the average potato travels 750 miles. How long have people in Colorado been eating bananas grown in Guatemala and beer brewed in Germany? How much longer do you think? Will driving a Saab to Moab to go mountain biking be a weekend option in 2050? By then Saabs will get 80 miles to the gallon and so it might be. Then again, maybe not.
From the cradle to the grave
More than half the world's oil-and 70 % of US oil-will be consumed during a single human lifetime. That span happens to coincide with the Baby Boomer generation born after World War II. The Boomers were conceived as auto culture kicked into overdrive.
As newborns, they were driven home from the hospital in a car. They grew up listening to songs like Mustang Sally and Little GTO. Getting a driver's license was their rite of passage. During their lives many Baby Boomerswill drive and fly a million miles, equal to 40 trips around the globe. Magellan and Amelia Earhart were the famous circumnavigators of their day. Now every man is Magellan, every woman Amelia.
Slicing the pie
Geologists estimate that US oil production will ultimately total 260 bn barrels. A sliver of that pie was consumed between 1859 and 1949, the first 90 years of the Oil Era. A much larger slice-if we can call 70 % of the pie a slice-will be used between 1950 and 2025.
Our grandchildren and their kids' kids will inherit what's left. By 2025, when US population will exceed 300 mm, just 15 % of US oil will remain.
Snooze you lose
When our grandchildren ask where all the oil went, how will we answer them? We're engaged in a one-time hydrocarbon feeding frenzy the likes of which the world has never seen before and will never see again. As someone who once drove a pickup truck to Patagonia I may not be the best person to ask, but is there a neglected ethical issue here?
About a year ago I was standing on Main Street in Aspen when a semi drove by. Emblazoned in large letters on the side was a question: We’ve shot all the buffalo now what do we do? In 1872 there were 15 mm bison roaming the Great Plains. A decade later only a thousand were left. Pelt hunters had ruthlessly slaughtered the rest. The heedless waste, the bloodthirsty savagery seems criminal today.
I wonder if future generations will view our pell-mell liquidation of oil, arguably Earth's most valuable resource, as equally senseless, short-sighted, and greedy. If there were a ready substitute that would be one thing. But there isn't. In fact, there is no substitute for oil in the ways and volumes in which we use it today. Petroleum is a gift of geology, a one-time windfall-and we're spending it like there's no tomorrow.
Everyone has their favourite car song. Daddy took my T-Bird away... Every woman I know is crazy about an automobile... I've got the fastest wheels in town.... Mustang Sally, you better slow your Mustang down... I drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry... Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz. My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends...
You hear about the population explosion. And yes, the population has doubled from 3 bn to 6 bn since 1950. In the same period, car numbers shot up from 50 mm to 500 mm.
Cars, in other words, are reproducing five times faster than people. They're breeding like (VW) Rabbits.
Who will fuel China?
America was first to enter the Oil Age. We got a 60-year head start on most nations. The developing world is racing to catch up. From Asia to Africa, 3 bn people crave the automobile lifestyle. Who can blame them?
Mobility is wonderful. GM, Ford, and Toyota are building new plants in China, India, and Thailand. But Asia is oil poor. India has almost no oil. High hopes for new discoveries in the Tarim, a frontier basin in western China, have not been realized. The Chinese national oil company is investing in Venezuela, Gulf of Mexico, and Caspian Sea -- a telling vote of no confidence in prospects at home. Without large domestic reserves it will be impossible for China and other densely populated countries to develop an oil-intensive lifestyle like Americans enjoy.
If India and China used as much oil per person as we do, world production would have to triple. It can't; there's not enough oil. But if it could, all the globe's remaining oil would be consumed within 20 years. After that... well, you wouldn't have to worry about your next car payment.
Looking ahead, the tremendous inequities in oil distribution -- and consumption -- are morally troubling and militarily worrisome. As oil depletion spreads worldwide, by 2015 five nations in the volatile Middle East will produce half the world's oil. As more Asians take to the road and demand outstrips supply, oil prices will rise. Economic jousting for oil -- who can pay most -- is certain. Military confrontation can't be ruled out. With America using three times more oil than any other nation, future generations of young Americans may again take to the battlefield for oil.
Which nations have oil and which nations use it? Fully two-thirds of the world's oil is in five Muslim countries. It explains why Iraq's Saddam Hussein gets press, why the State Department frets about Iran, why the US military did not leave Saudi Arabia after the 1990 Gulf War, and why we fought that war in the first place. (George Bush: "Our way of life is at stake.")
America's future, Japan's future, Europe's future, China's future, Europe's future...all are inextricably linked to the Middle East. In the deserts of Saudi Arabia, the US military is building fortified air bases. Ostensibly we are there to protect our Saudi friends. In reality, we are an occupying force protecting our access to their oil. Some Saudis are resentful of our presence, as we would be if they were building air bases in Nevada.
Would we leave their county if asked? I wonder. My son is 7. He'll be 18, fighting age, in 2009, about the time an Oil Crunch may arrive.
OPEC redux
As the US produces less oil, we must import more. Indeed, America imports more oil than any other nation uses. Uncle Sam's appetite is humongous, verging on gluttony. We import more than Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden collectively use. And why not, because at $ 15-$ 25 a barrel, imported oil is a steal. The tab for 1997 came to $ 67 bn, less than 1 % of the nation's gross domestic product.
The bargain may not, indeed can not, last. As global population and oil demand rise, more and more people will be competing for less and less oil. By 2015, only a handful of nations will be exporting significant quantities, and a revitalized Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, our old OPEC nemesis, will be in driver's seat again, able to control prices at will. Since Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait can sustain their projected production past 2020, the world will not suddenly "run out" of oil. But $ 16 a barrel will be a thing of the past.
Sport utilities
In recent years, as oil prices have plummeted, Americans have fallen in love with gas guzzling minivans, light trucks, and sport utility vehicles. In Seattle Microsoft millionaires drive Humvees. Light trucks and sport utes command 45 % of the new car market in the US, a powerful trend aimed in exactly the wrong direction.
That these vehicles sell well is not surprising. They tower above traffic, can summit Everest, and are safe in a crash (good because sport utes have more than their share.) If they're thirsty, so what? Gasoline costs are only 1/8th the total cost of driving. Driving a car that gets 30 miles per gallon rather than a 15-mpg sport ute saves about $ 520 a year-not much in many budgets.
Americans care little about fuel efficiency because gasoline is inexpensive. In Europe motorists pay $ 3 to $ 5 a gallon. Most is tax, added by governments to encourage conservation. A Suburban has a 40-gallon tank. Filling up in Finland would cost 200 bucks. Needless to say, Finns shun Suburbans.
Bargain-rate gasoline has a hidden cost, but we don't pay it at the pump. Rather, we pay $ 50 bn in taxes to protect access to Persian Gulf oil, we pay in smog and premature deaths from air pollution, we pay in climate change. But when gasoline is less expensive than milk, Americans have little incentive to conserve. People aren't dumb.
“If gas is cheap, oil must be abundant. Big is best. If you have an Explorer I'll get an Expedition. It's a 'fuels paradise." Party hearty.
A light goes on
"In America we consume the most energy per capita in the world. That's got to change."
Who said it? Not Ralph Nader or Amory Lovins. Rather, it was Louis Hughes, a General Motors vice president for international operations.
The oil companies and automakers are beginning to understand that we must move quickly to develop a more oil-efficient economy. Toyota is selling 66-mpg cars in Japan. Honda is poised to follow. From a global perspective, oil is not a "sunset industry"-after all, 65 % of the world's petroleum remains to be produced. Nonetheless, oil companies are beginning to diversify. Shell recently launched a renewable energy division and British Petroleum is making solar panels. The ultimate heresy: General Motors supports a 50 cent per gallon gasoline tax. In this case, what's good for GM would be good for America.
Oil depletion is a slow, wasting disease. Is there a quick fix, a miracle cure? Actually, there are exciting new developments. They include technology for converting natural gas to a diesel-like fuel; horizontal drilling and 3D imagery to recover more oil from aging fields; cars powered by fuel cells that run on hydrogen rather than gasoline; telecommuting and other social changes that reduce oil consumption.
All can buy time, delay the peak, and soften the transition that must follow. None, though, can cure depletion, or greatly reduce America's dependence on imported oil. Technology shows promise, but the negative trends remain more powerful. Every day the world uses 73 mm barrels and finds 15 mm. Consumption up, discoveries down. Burning more than we earn-a sure-fire recipe for bankruptcy.
Forbes and Fortune recommended oil stocks in 1995. In 1997 energy service companies were the stars of Wall Street. But maybe there will be another stock-buying opportunity. The economic turmoil in the Pacific, the Asian flu, will dampen energy demand for a year or two.
With the collision between rising demand and limited supplies still five to ten years away, it's a good time to travel. Fly to Baja, take a cruise, see Costa Rica. Life's a journey, enjoy the ride. Around 2005 you might want to unload your shares in Winnebago.
Silver bullets II
The physics of a Pontiac (or pickup) are abysmal. According to Rocky Mountain Institute, just 1 % of the energy in the gasoline moves the driver. About 15 % moves his steel shell, the 2-ton carapace. The remainder is lost in the engine, drivetrain and to wind resistance. This is actually great news, because it suggests there's tremendous scope for improvement.
Soon you'll be able to buy a car that gets 65 miles per gallon. These clean, efficient "21st Century" cars may capture a third of the market by 2010. But adding 20 mm fuel-frugal cars a year to a global fleet that may then number 800 mm will have only a modest impact on oil consumption. Every little bit helps, but it will be decades before the world fleet is dramatically more efficient.
Oil is Aspen
Our ski economy is much more dependent on oil than snow. After all, we can make snow. At Buttermilk or Highlands or Ajax, oil's importance is affirmed every few minutes as a loud jet accelerates down the runway.
One in five Aspen skiers fly in from overseas. Economically, Aspen functions as a snowy suburb of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. How long can this continue? Decades perhaps, not forever.
Driving blind
Petroconsultants, a respected Geneva energy consulting group, recently concluded that by 2050 world oil consumption will be just one-fourth what it is today. Another oil expert, University of Colorado professor John D. Edwards, predicts that world oil production will peak in 2020 at 90 mm bpd.
"If the hundreds of billions of dollars needed to increase productive capacity to these levels are not available, peak production will occur earlier. Planning without anticipating this trend is analogous to driving without a gas gauge."
Most people abhor change. Change is scary. Mentally, we tend to be prisoners of the past, hoping that the future will be just like the present, only more so. Abundant oil is all we've known. Cheap gas is a given. But this quaint assumption may soon take a beating.
The silver miners who settled Aspen in 1880 didn't drive Range Rovers. It's a safe bet that Aspenites in 2090 won't drive them either. If theaverage person has a car 50 or 100 years from now it will be dramatically more efficient and powered by hydrogen or electricity. The heyday of the guzzler is passing. The gargantuan 6,000-pound 14-mpg Expeditions that now rule the road are to the car as the T Rex was to the dinosaur: the end of the line.
Pure speculation
Inexpensive oil is so deeply embedded in our economy, psychology, and even diet that it's difficult to imagine a world in which oil will be more expensive. What would a sudden spike in oil prices mean for Aspen? Let me speculate, knowing I'll probably get it wrong. An oil crunch might, where nothing else has, rein in the valley's real estate boom. Some believe that the stratospheric prices in the upper valley are a speculative bubble waiting to burst.
Our valley's economy has proved remarkably resilient to other shocks, but this one could shatter Wall Street. An Oil Crunch would also slow tourism. Because only 10 % of an airplane ticket pays for fuel, the direct effects would be dwarfed by the larger inflationary impacts. Psychology will come into play, too, since inexpensive oil buttresses the belief that growth is inevitable, stocks go up, and things get better. But, come what may, higher gasoline prices are not the end of life as we know it. After a rocky year or two or three of global recession, people will adjust, life will go on. Most Europeans already pay $ 3 or more per gallon; Americans presumably could, too.
Debating the train
Over the last 70 years the automobile grew dominant because oil was cheap. All across America trains gave way to cars. Neighbourhoods surrendered to suburbs. In the words of the song, we "paved paradise and put up a parking lot."
In Colorado, too, the transportation network we see today is an artefact of abundant oil, an era that's destined to end. With oil depletion in mind, the suggestion that we should remain auto dependent, construct underground garages, and six-lane Highway 82 seems like old think. Is our long-term vision driving cars fuelled with gasoline on tires made of petroleum on roads paved with asphalt? Hell-o! To quote Marshall McLuhan, that's like "speeding into the future while trying to steer with a rear-view mirror."
The train may or may not make economic sense. But as we debate whether valleywide rail is a wise investment, our focus should not be 2008, a short decade from now. Rather it should be 2018 or 2028, when world oil production will be falling, as global population continues to climb. As we study rail, let's not assume the status quo is sustainable, because it's not. By 2025, driving alone 70 or 80 miles to work may be as obsolete as riding a horse to work is today.
Is there really no substitute on the petroleum menu? Our natural gas reserves wouldn't last long if we burned them in both homes and cars, but what about all that oil shale near Parachute? Oil lobbyists will tell you there's tons of "unconventional" oil tied up in Canadian tar sands, Venezuelan heavy oil, and Colorado's oil shale. True enough, but that's like saying hang gliders can substitute for airplanes.
Producing unconventional oil has more in common with hard-rock mining than with typical oil production, where you crank a valve and let if flow. The former is a slow, arduous, energy-intensive process that will never replace a tenth of today's conventional oil. Indeed, there's some question whether oil shale yields more energy than it takes to produce it. If conventional oil is black magic, oil shale is fool's gold.
Flow, river, flow
Every 24 hours the global economy burns 73 mm barrels of oil. If you poured all that oil into a river it would be the size of the Colorado as it flows through Glenwood Springs. That modest river propels all motorized motion on the planet. Every car in Carbondale, China, and Chile. Every Boeing, every Airbus. Semis, autos, trucks, bulldozers, B-1 bombers, motorcycles, supertankers, tugboats, tractors, lawn mowers, snowmobiles, jet skis, snowblowers... if it moves it's powered by oil.
Looking ahead, oil demand is projected to increase rapidly. By 2010 most experts predict the world will be consuming 90 mm bpd, 25 % more than it does now. Sometimes between 2005 and 2020, world oil production will reach an apex, an all-time high, a peak. A plateau in production will be followed by a relentless inexorable decline.
Doomers & boomers
World oil experts fall into two camps, pessimists and optimists. It's striking how little difference there is between them. Both camps agree we've already used 800 bn barrels. The pessimists, or doomers, think there's 1 tn left and that oil production may peak by 2005. Boomers believe there's 1.8 tn left and that production will peak in 2020.
If fifteen years is the only difference between pessimists and optimists, perhaps we ought to begin planning for a world in which oil is not as abundant as it is today.
By 2050 a world of perhaps 9 bn people will be consuming only as much oil as 3 bn did in 1950. There will be three times less oil per person. Oil will be more expensive.
Is this a Doomsday message? Not necessarily. A more sustainable world may actually be a better place in which to live. The difficulty is getting from here to there.
Why haven’t U heard this before?
Who would tell you? Exxon? Ford? Bill Clinton? "Remember my Bridge to the 21st Century? Well, there's a big pothole on the far side. I'm sending Al over there right now to patch it up. When you hit that rough spot, remember Hillary feels your pain."
Should Ronald Reagan have told us? "My fellow Americans, it is not morning in America. Actually, it's getting on towards sundown."
The Oil & Gas Journal publishes articles on oil depletion, but the coming crisis is not yet on the mainstream media's radar. It's astounding that, in a country like ours, which uses 25 % of the world's oil, no one is responsible for setting oil policy. The oil majors produce oil. Carmakers make cars. The Pentagon spends $ 50 bn a year safeguarding our "cheap" Persian Gulf imports. The US Department of Energy cleans up nuclear bomb plants. If ignorance is bliss, this must be Nirvana.

Scarlet In Gaslight Is Back
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Reviews, Dark Horse Comics, Independent,
Back in the day, one of the comic books that I was peripherally involved with was Scarlet In Gaslight, a Sherlock Holmes & Dracula mini-series. And I'll clarify that right away by saying that I had nothing to do with its creation.
It was created and written by Martin Powell, and illustrated by Seppo Makinen and after it was acquired by Malibu Comics for its Eternity imprint, it was edited by Chris Ulm. My role was limited to reading the issues as the original art came in. Ulm would drop it off on my desk and say, "You gotta read this." I was later the art director for the first collected edition.
Malibu was a creator-owned publisher back in those days, and the rights to Scarlet In Gaslight were held by the creators. In the years since its original publication, Martin has done an excellent job of keeping the collected edition in print. Its last edition is sold out, but the good news is that it's coming back, along with other Martin-based projects.
Martin has signed a 4-graphic novel deal with Pulp 2.0 Press CEO Bill Cunningham. The four graphic novels include the Eisner award nominee Scarlet in Gaslight, and two sequels, A Case of Blind Fear (Sherlock Holmes vs. The Invisible Man) and Ghosts of Dracula (Dr. Van Helsing and Harry Houdini vs. You-Know-Who). All three are illustrated by Seppo Makinen. The fourth book is Martin's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, illustrated by Patrick Olliffe
Powell is a 2010 Moonbeam Gold Award winner for Best Children's Graphic Novel (The Tall Tale of Paul Bunyan) and is currently writing The Spider for Moonstone Books and the upcoming Liberty Unlimited with Jay Piscopo.
Olliffe is currently working for Dark Horse, illustrating Mighty Samson that's being co-written by Jim Shooter and my pal J.C. Vaughn.
Now go check this stuff out and place your order as soon as possible.

Where are the modern monopolies? Does the communications regulator have a role in regulating them? Our members address the challenges facing policy makers and regulators discussing questions such as 'should categories of broadcasting content on free to air television such as news and current affairs or local language content be sheltered, by whom and with what'? Competition investigations into alleged abuse of dominance are rife all over the world. Vertical as well as horizontal competition challenges abound, including those created by increasing consolidation. We regularly include speakers from specialist legal advisors in this field who have a wealth of sector and geographical experience to share with participants.

HIV Scamwatch
Dr. Sebi And Electric Foods
Posted in: HIV Scamwatch | October 12, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Dr. Sebi, born Alfredo Bowman, is described on his website as having no education except what he learned from direct observation of nature. He is not a medical doctor, and has been twice arrested for practicing medicine without a license. If he has any degree to support the ‘Dr’ in front of his name, his website doesn’t mention it.
The fake doctor’s website has a fairly random assortment of claims masquerading as science that do not actually explain how his treatment is supposed to work. In various places it refers to diseases as being caused by a problem in the mucus membranes, then says disease can be cured by eating ‘electric’ foods, and that natural foods are alkaline and cure disease while inorganic chemicals are acids and cause disease. Of course, Dr. Sebi’s quackery conveniently ignores the fact that many healthy foods and drinks, including orange and grapefruit juice are acids, and organic.
In particular, the so-called Dr. Sebi claims to be able to cure HIV/AIDS with his ‘electric’ foods and alkaline diet. Unfortunately, while the website claims in several places to have scientific studies to back up these claims, no actual information on these studies is given, any facts regarding the treatments, including success rate, ingredients, cost, and how long it takes to be effective are decidedly lacking.
Tellingly, ‘Dr’ Sebi charges people who come to him for treatment of HIV/AIDS twice as much as people with other medical conditions, while providing exactly the same herbal compounds as treatments. He said in an interview on Washinton, D.C.s ‘Eyewitness News’ that the higher price was purely ‘psychological.’
Overall, Sebi’s website has several ScamWatch red flags:
• It uses pseudo-science (scientific sounding phrases that have no scientific basis)
• It makes claims without any evidence
• It has no information on successful treatment, not even patient testimonials
• Its founder has no training or medical experience
• It tries to claim that ‘natural’ is automatically healthy (please consider for a moment that poison ivy is ‘natural’, so is arsenic, deadly nightshade and black mold)
• It claims to be based on scientific studies but provides no information on the studies
• It does not give any information on what is in the treatments
Looking around off of the official website there are several red flags as well. While many people and websites mention Dr. Sebi, there are no people with HIV/AIDS coming forward to say they have used his treatments and were helped by them. Practically every forum post, blog comment or other support talks about how great the treatment is, but the person posting almost never says they have used the treatment, or if they were cured of anything. Regardless of any conspiracy theories about the government suppressing information of a cure or mass media refusing to report it, it is impossible to believe that hundreds of people have been cured by this man and none of them have gone online to any website or forum to tell others about how they were cured.
Anyone who is dealing with HIV/AIDS, whether they are infected themselves, or caring for a loved one who was infected, will understandably want to do anything that might help. “Dr.” Sebi is playing on that desire, and on the fear facing everyone who is dealing with a disease that has no cure.
The website selling Sebi’s program tries to use a little truth – the importance of eating a healthy diet to combatting HIV/AIDS and avoiding secondary infections – to sell a big lie. He tries to say that all a person needs to do to cure themself of anything is eat the right foods. If eating healthy was all it took to cure HIV/AIDS, than why is Sebi trying to get people to buy his snake oil? Because he isn’t trying to help people. He is just trying to make money.
There are real, legitimate complementary and alternative medicines that can help fight against HIV/AIDS. There are doctors and researchers working every day to find a cure, and basing a great deal of their work on the things in CAM that have been proven to help.
Real CAM practitioners work with medical doctors to find the best combination of treatment for each individual. They don’t say ‘everyone is the same and one size fits all’. They don’t attack and dismiss the entire medical profession and all that has been accomplished for people with HIV/AIDS over the last 3 decades.
So-called Dr. Sebi is a fake, and no one should waste their money or time on his quackery.
Key ingredients: Assorted plant extracts
Price per month: Varies, can run hundreds of dollars each month. This treatment is not available in the United States.

4 Comments to “Dr. Sebi And Electric Foods”
the god says:
if dr sebi is a fake???…why is it that he was aquitted by a Supreme Court in 1988 in the State of New York….when he proved in a court of law that he cured 77 + people of diseases ranging from Aids, diabetes. sickle cell, herpes and blindness??? please explain??? Most american doctors have not done so in the 500 years of practicing medicine??? PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR POSITION???
So out of millions of people he only managed to cure 77? And by the way hiv has not been around for 500 years, neither have “western doctors” so I can’t comprehend what you’re trying to say there
The Older God says:
What I’m saying IS …actually, there was a NEWS Broacast on CBS News & MTV News channels on Dr. Sebi. One of his patients was Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes from the 90′s R&B group TLC..she was diagnosed with HSV Type 2 (Herpes) and Dr Sebi CURED HER…and in the CBS Broadcast..It shows a patient who tested HIV Positive…after being with Dr Sebi for 2 Months…it states the patient was now negative. This patient was diagnosed in a hospital in La Ceiba, Honduras known as “Hospital Vicente D’antoni”….the patients name and hospital were clearly on the testing sheet of paper. his name is “Oswal Zavala”. CBS is a reputable news station and would have researched Dr Sebi’s validity before they would broadcast a story on him if it were not true. THATS WHAT I’M SAYING….MTV is also a reputable news channel and would not have done a story on Dr Sebi if it wasn’t true?? You can copy+paste the Youtube link into your browers and see for yourself. so there you have it…I’ve giving you 2 people (Lisa Lopes & Oswal Zavala). as far as the other 75 people…I cannot provide those individuals names because peoples health is something that is personal, confidential, and private to most individuals. These two people were willing to openly discuss there healing experiences with Dr Sebi. Why dont you contact Dr Sebi himself or his office in Los Angeles, CA and ask for the names of the people he has cured? but obviously you haven’t done so? Dr Sebi was aquitted in a New York State Supreme court in 1988. The doctors in that trail were Dr Victor Herbert & Dr Bannano of the state of New York. Dr Sebi was acquitted of all charges (Practicing medicine without a license, Using products not approved by the FDA, and claiming to cure AIDS and other disease because he uses herbs) and now that he has been acquitted of all charges…he can disseminate this information AS MUCH AS HE PLEASES AND THEY CAN NEVER ARREST HIM AGAIN. HIPPOCRATES the father of MEDICINE says, “Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food.” Doctor today take whats known as the Hippocratic Oath.

Western medicine as not cure shit and these snake poison medication as killed millions and have cause countless other deadly side effects. These doctors are just a pawn to the real killers the pharmaceutical companies how strange it is that Satan deceive and destroy mankind using the snake as his vessel and it is well known that these pharmaceutical companies are now making medications using these deadly snake venom, poisons to ultimately kill and destroy mankind. Once again medications cures nothing. God the creator as made it very clear that the herbs are the healing of the nations. So who are you or any other human living or dead to question the creator himself. What a mind job, with your so-call knowledge you have become like fools..

JAY-Z marks 50th birthday by restoring back catalog to Spotify
WENN.com
Jay-Z thrilled fans on Wednesday (December 4, 2019) as he marked his 50th birthday by restoring his entire back catalog to Spotify.
The rap icon had previously removed the majority of his work after launching his own Spotify rival, Tidal, back in 2014.
While the star left Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2…Hard Knock Life, along with his 2004 album with Linkin Park, Collision Course, he has since re-uploaded seminal records like American Gangster, Watch The Throne and The Black Album for fans to enjoy.
In a post on Twitter, Spotify’s official page shared: “Happy birthday, Hov. Welcome back to Spotify”.
It remains unknown whether the move is permanent or whether the records will be removed at a later date.
Soon after the rapper’s return to the platform was announced, fans took to Twitter to share their delight at being able to listen to their favorite artist once again.
“Ya have no idea how stressful and annoying it was to have Spotify and not be able to listen to Jay Z on there,” wrote one user, while another added: “Power move.”

Vertcoin: Potentially More Valuable than BTC or LTC?
It seems every new cryptocurrency that someone creates these days ends up with people taking sides. It's either a "scam coin / pump and dump" or it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Now, there are a few ways to make a coin very undesirable -- premining a large chunk of coins before releasing a cryptocurrency to the mining community would be one, and I'd also steer clear (long-term at least) of any coin that distributes a large percentage of the total coins in a short amount of time. Looking at Vertcoin, this is what makes it worth potentially more than even Litecoin -- and long-term it could even surpass Bitcoin (assuming it remains ASIC-proof).
1) It's more resistant to ASICs
2) It has KGW so it's resistant to pools and/or large fluctuations in the number of miners
3) There was no premine or other silliness on the launch
4) It pays out slow and steady over a very long period of time.
Why shouldn't Vertcoin succeed where so many others have failed (other than the name and logo)? At present we are not even at block 30K, which means there are fewer than 1,500,000 VTC in existence. Sure, the first week or two things went a bit too fast, but now we've leveled off and for the foreseeable future we'll generate blocks every 2.5 minutes. We are 810,000 blocks away from the reward halving, and KGW means we really won't hit the halving much earlier than expected. That means 33,750 hours -- or 1406.25 days, or 3.85 years -- from now, we will have mined half of all VTC. By mining slow and steady (as opposed to, say, DOGE, which will be mined out in about 525 days since launch), we avoid the potential for a massive pump and dump.
As to the lack of a premine, even BTC had one -- Satoshi mined it with a small group of friends for about a year before it really hit the public. Wouldn't it have been nice to be one of select few (some say around 20) people mining BTC that first year? 2.6 million BTC went out to a choice few; so much for the "currency of the people" -- and no significant giveaways ever happened, at least not to a point where anywhere near 2 million BTC was distributed among the masses. BTC was also a proof of concept, and the long difficulty adjustment times were at least in part a way for early miners to get even more coins... but probably two weeks just sounded "reasonable" at the time. We now know better. The new standard is KGW, and any new coin that doesn't implement KGW (or have some other way of dealing with potential coin hopping) isn't going to last.
Getting back to Vertcoin, the current network hash rate is around 2.7 GHash/sec, but since VTC is roughly twice as hard to mine (on a GPU) as normal scrypt, that's like a 5.4 GHash/sec coin. Compared to other coins, LTC is at around 100 GHash/sec and DOGE is at 78.5 GHash/sec; most other scrypt coins are in single digit GHash at best, which means VTC has already passed many of them. And that's hardly a surprise, as we've gone vertical in the last day.
We're now seeing VTC trade at 0.008 BTC, or already about one third the price of LTC. Some will call this a bubble, and perhaps it is, but I like to think this is VTC assuming it's rightful place as the number three cryptocurrency in the very near future. When the scrypt ASICs begin to arrive en masse, we'll see even more people start to look at VTC -- as well as any other non-scrypt coins. I'm sure we'll see VTC clones as well, but I'm not sure what they can offer that will be "better" than VTC. Faster transaction times? Maybe. More coins in less time? See points #3 and #4 above. They'll be a flash in the pan at best, but VTC is here to stay.
VTC: VaNuRCj73JVAwR1YMnt8CXaqoiPgykiMTk
LTC: LfCLyykrNFftzpdWejR73hf478ZtBzQ9jE
DOGE: DD9iTWf8diPkvKdB8roPJepTyp6BGVQtct
Labels: alt-coins, ASIC, Bitcoin, BTC, cryptocurrency, DOGE, KGW, Litecoin, long-term, LTC, Mining, profitability, Vertcoin, VTC
You are a Prophet of Profit, Jared. How many VTC you got before this pump? You're a millionaire already I think.
I started mining VTC only after your post about Leasing :( Thank you for your work.
Sent you some tips :)
reininop February 5, 2014 at 4:50 AM
I'm just curious what you are going to do with your massive profits now :) I made a post 2 weeks ago about not know which one might explode, I guess you win. If I would have started mining back then, I'd have 20K worth right now. Sad panda.
Holy Nerdvana February 5, 2014 at 2:58 PM
Right now? I'm sitting on my VTC and seeing how far it will go. I'm thinking we might see parity with LTC within a couple months, possibly even surpassing LTC pricing. That means my target is 0.025 BTC per VTC, or over 4x what people are currently paying. If things work out right, I might have a few thousand VTC by that time. Yummy!
Hi Jarrad, what do you see the diff of VTC since it's halved compare to LTC and it's increasing pretty fast these days(2 days from 50 to 150). Do you think it will stay at a diff where everyone can get reasonable shares( at current diff my 6.6M rig can get 2 LTC/day, if VTC diff goes up to 1000 by end of Feb then I can only yeild 2VTC and it will drop in the following month ending with 0.01 VTC/day, then no one will mine this coin)
Well, this is the blessing and the curse of Kimoto's Gravity Well -- difficulty adjusts rapidly to the hash rate. Long-term, I suspect the profitability of VTC will more or less equal all of the other popular/stable scrypt coins -- as long as it's more profitable to mine VTC than others, people will continue moving to the currency for mining, and when more scrypt ASICs start arriving then we'll probably really see a lot of interest in VTC.
This is why I suggest people mine as much VTC as possible now and hold as long as they're able. Right now, 1MHash on VTC (which is equal to 2MHash scrypt) will net you around 6.6 VTC per day. At the current exchange rate that's worth 0.0482 BTC, so that's the equivalent of 0.024 BTC per MHash on scrypt, or about 50% more profitable as something like mining DOGE where you would make about 0.0163 BTC per MHash.
Here's the thing: when I first wrote about VTC, difficulty level was 6.4. At that difficulty, you could have mined 150 VTC per day with three R9 280X GPUs. If you had held onto those coins today, instead of being worth 0.025 BTC per day they are worth over 1 BTC -- a 40x increase.
This isn't the first time we've seen this either. In April 2013 when I first started mining LTC, it was worth around $3-$4 and the difficulty was around 100. So 1 MHash would have been worth 10 LTC per day, which would have been $30-$40. I cashed out on plenty of LTC at such prices, but if I had help onto the 2000 or so LTC I mined between April and December they would have been worth $40,000 instead of the $8000 or so I traded them for. Will VTC repeat that performance? No one can say for certain, but I'd say there's a better chance for VTC to do it than any other current cryptocurrency.
Yeah I agree as the KGW changes the diff pretty quick so the the latter miners will find it is not profitable or the ROI is extreme unpredictable unless the value flies like BTC. Lucky I got my 8x290 rig working back a week ago when diff was under 10 and was mining at nearly 400/day and I am holding them all. Right now it gives me only 40 a day which is x10 times lesser -_-.
But for the long term I can see VTC will do well but as I am concerned the diff is an potential issue. Maybe there is another way to just control the increase of diff? Such as through some sort of means to restrict the rapid increase and put it in a steady way? I think this would be fair for everyone as the initial for mining is to get as many people involved as it can but everyone will have a pretty reasonable share. Right now as the diff flies only those super rigs hashing 20M+ can play this game but still they can play for long as more super rigs come however a 20M VTC rig will cost around 27,000$ AUD ( such a big amount!).
I guess when the diff reaches to a certain degree where all small miners are eliminated it will drop back again then the game starts again? Hehe anyway I am so regretful for not buy 200,000 VTC back in 3 weeks ago with only 0.5 BTC.
Marco February 12, 2014 at 7:46 AM
We have opened a new VTC pool in Europe.
Prop payout , ddos protected and 0% fee during beta test.
We trust in VTC and we offer 0% fee forever to the first 20 active miners.

Price of VTC is falling, will it ever go up to at least .01 BTC?
Holy Nerdvana February 20, 2014 at 12:22 PM
Well, prices shot up awfully fast so they had to come back down, but we're now more or less stabilized and starting to rise again. I don't know that it will go much below 0.002 and it's periodically trying to go up. Long-term 0.01 isnt' too far out of reach, but it might take a year or more to hit that...or we could hit it next week. I think VTC has more potential at this stage than LTC -- witness the highly volatile difficulty and hashing speed of the LTC network as miners jump on/off depending on profitability. We'll see if others agree over the next year.
As an interesting anecdote, I got into LTC just around the time it hit $5, and at that time I could mine about 25-30 LTC per day. Difficulty caught up quickly, and prices dropped just as quickly, and it stabilized around $3 for around six months. I traded most of my LTC for USD in order to pay bills, and because I just wasn't sure at the time where LTC was going. Then in November it shot up -- albeit briefly -- to nearly $50. Had I held the ~2000 LTC I had mined, that would have been worth $100K, compared to the $10K or so I had traded it for during the previous six months. My bet is VTC does the same thing at some point, so I'm waiting for that to happen.

The final part of the article addresses the nuts and bolts of support group management--money issues, dealing with difficult people, and delegation.
Starting a New Support Group
One of the most persistent criticisms of homeschooling is that the children will have no social life. Though homeschooling parents may know better, many parents are more secure knowing a number of other homeschoolers in their area so children can get together with other kids who are being homeschooled. You may find, however, that there is no group in your area. As you (and any interested parents you may know) consider forming a group, you may want to consider some questions first.

Why and How to Get Connected
In this day and age, homeschoolers represent a market. There are many businesses catering to homeschoolers' needs--or perceived needs. When first starting out it can be especially tempting to sign up for a multitude of classes or experiences that are being sold to you, rather than putting your energy into a grassroots network such as a local homeschool support group. Before you know it, your days are filled with activity and you don't look back. The intangibles you'd be missing out on--real connection with other homeschoolers and personal empowerment--might be some of the best kept secrets of homeschooling, as well as what would sustain you on this path in the end. This article includes some examples and ideas of rituals and social events you can organize.

Manchin, Tomlin, Rahall Assess Storm Damage
Wednesday, October 31, 2012 - 19:45 Updated 7 years ago Special to HNN From a Gov. Tomblin Press Statement
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. –Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin and U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall today visited communities to assess storm damage and meet with local emergency management directors. The officials also spoke with individuals affected by this devastating storm and saw some of the damage firsthand.
“It was absolutely heartbreaking to meet with folks who have had their homes and businesses destroyed by the storms” Gov. Tomblin said after assessing storm damage. “As I told each and every person I met with today, I'm doing everything within my power to help all those who have been affected by the storms. Tomorrow I will request a major federal disaster declaration, which if granted will bring additional federal assistance. We will continue working around the clock until all West Virginians are safe, our roads are open, and our utilities have been restored.
“As I travel around with Governor Tomblin and Congressman Rahall, what we’re seeing is a strong team effort, with FEMA working closely with the state and our National Guard. Our top concern right now is contacting the people we haven’t been able to reach because of heavy snowfall in the mountains. I know all West Virginians will join me in praying to the good Lord that they’re all right as we work feverishly to reach them," Sen. Manchin said. “On top of those concerns, my heart is just broken by the devastation I saw firsthand today, but I am also truly inspired by the deep resilience of the people of our great state. Inspiring is the only way to describe the determination of these families and businesses to put their lives back together - and to help their neighbors do the same. As West Virginians, we will all keep anyone who has been affected in our prayers and lend a hand when we can. I want to assure all West Virginians that I am working continuously to make sure that our state gets what we need from the federal government, which is why I was pleased to learn today that FEMA is sending additional food, water and health-related supplies, along with power generators. They're also sending four 60–person chainsaw crews to accelerate power restoration. For any West Virginians with questions, concerns or ideas about how the federal government can better help those in need, please don't hesitate to contact my office."
“I am pressing top FEMA officials to make available all possible Federal resources to aid the State in the restoration of power and opening access to roads. In that regard, I understand the U.S. Forest Service has offered its services in removing fallen trees and that food, water and generators are being delivered by FEMA to areas in need,” said Congressman Rahall. “Having seen the widespread damage for myself and spoken in depth with state and local officials, I will continue to make the case to Federal officials in order to assist our families and businesses in their recovery.”
As the storms begin moving out of the state, we continue devoting all resources to keeping citizens safe, restoring utilities and clearing all roadways. Our Division of Highways and Forestry are assisting utility crews, in their efforts to access necessary areas, by clearing snow and tree debris from roadways. The latest reports estimate we still have approximately 195,000 customers without power.
“I encourage all West Virginians to check on your neighbors, friends and family—take care of each other,” Gov. Tomblin said. “With power companies predicting it may be several days before the power will be restored in all areas, I want to make sure our families are safe. If you or someone you know has been displaced or is without electricity, I urge you to seek out a shelter in your area for a meal and a warm place to stay.”

Is Netflix a Buy?
Netflix (NFLX) announced second quarter ended June 30, 2016 total revenue of $2.11 billion, up 8 percent sequentially from $1.96 billion in first quarter of 2016 and up 29 percent year-over-year from $1.64 billion during the same period last year.
Netflix declared second quarter of 2016 net income of $40.8 million or $0.09 per diluted share, up 47 percent sequentially from $27.7 million or $0.06 per diluted share in first quarter of 2016 and up 55 percent year-over-year from $26.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share in second quarter of 2015.
The global internet television provider reported continued sequential and year-over-year growths in both its top and bottom lines primarily driven by the significant customer traction for the company’s advanced television network online services leading to notable new customer growth.
The consistent sequential and year-over-year growths in Netflix’s subscribers for the quarter has mainly resulted in attractive top and bottom line expansions for the online television services providing company.
Impressive metrics
For domestic streaming, Netflix reported total memberships by quarter end of 47.1 million, slightly above 47 million memberships sequentially in first quarter of 2016 and an increase of 11 percent year-over-year from total memberships of 42.3 million in second quarter of 2015.
Further, paid memberships for the quarter also grew somewhat and sequentially to 46 million compared to 45.7 million paid subscribers in first quarter of 2016 and enhanced 12 percent year-over-year from 41.1 million paid subscribers in first quarter of 2015.
The ongoing sequential and year-over-year expansion in the company’s top and bottom lines is mainly due to strong, growing paid and total memberships in domestic streaming service segment for the company which is believed to continue to deliver sustainable long-term growth while offering attractive shareholder returns.
For international streaming, Netflix declared total memberships for quarter end of 36 million, slightly above 34.5 million memberships sequentially in first quarter of 2016 and an increase of 55 percent year-over-year from total memberships of 23.3 million in second quarter of 2015. Further, paid memberships for the quarter grew 6 percent sequentially to 33.9 million compared to 32 million paid subscribers in first quarter of 2016 and improved 57 percent year-over-year from 21.6 million paid subscribers in first quarter of 2015.
For domestic DVD, however Netflix registered 4.4 percent sequential decline in total memberships by the period end to 4.53 million in second quarter of 2016 compared to 4.74 million in first quarter of 2016 and reported 15 percent year-over-year decline in total memberships from 5.31 million during the second quarter of 2015. In addition, Netflix also recorded 5 percent sequential decline in paid memberships for the quarter to 4.44 million compared to 4.65 million in first quarter of 2016 and a decline of 15 percent year-over-year from 5.22 million paid memberships in second quarter of 2015.
The significant sequential and year-over-year growths in Netflix’s total and paid memberships for international streaming segment was partially offset by continued sequential and year-over-year decline in total and paid memberships for the company’s domestic DVD segment which clearly signifies greater board attention towards this growth segment, a key to achieving overall robust consolidated company growth.
Overall, the investors are advised to “Hold” their position in Netflix, Inc. considering the company’s significant long-term growth prospects with an attractive PEG ratio of 6.05. The profit margin of 1.85% also seems satisfactory. However, Netflix needs to optimize its debt-burdened balance sheet with significant total debt of $2.37 billion against weaker total cash position of $1.83 billion only, restricting the company to continue with its daily operations profitably.

Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2017 4:16 am Post subject: The First visit & Deedar has been announced for October
LIF the communities constitutional body has made the following announcement today
"ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE ISMAILI LEADERS’ INTERNATIONAL FORUM
Our beloved Mawlana Hazar Imam has authorised the Ismaili Leaders’ International Forum (LIF) to inform the Jamat formally that, responding to invitations from the respective Governments, he will visit Uganda and Tanzania in October 2017.
At this time, alongside engaging with activities relating to the initiatives of the Imamat and the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), Mawlana Hazar Imam will grant Diamond Jubilee Darbars to the respective Uganda and Tanzania Jamats on dates to be confirmed.
Mawlana Hazar Imam has recommended that, in as far as possible, large Jamati gatherings should be avoided in the organisation and conduct of these Imamat visits.
Furthermore, due to limited logistical capacity, the host Jamats will find it difficult to handle the challenge of additional numbers of people.
In view of these considerations, access to the Jubilee Darbars will be restricted to the jurisdiction Jamats and, therefore, members from external Jamats are respectfully requested to refrain from travelling to Uganda or Tanzania in the expectation of being able to participate.
As the Jamat has been informed previously, Mawlana Hazar Imam will continue to grant further Jubilee visits to as many Jamats as possible during the Jubilee year.
The LIF and all Jamati institutions, and Mukhis, Kamadias, Mukhianis and Kamadianis convey a warm Mubarak to the Jamat on the commencement of the cycle of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee visits.
Diamond Jubilee Darbar to be held at Darkhana Kampala
Today, 10 October 2017, Mawlana Hazar Imam is expected to grace the Jamat in Uganda with the first Darbar of his Diamond Jubilee year, at the historic location of the Kampala Darkhana.
The Darkhana building dates back to July 1936, when the foundation stone was laid in an area of Kampala where a large number of Ismailis from South Asia had begun to settle, seeking economic opportunity in East Africa. Upon Hazar Imam’s ascension to the Imamat in 1957, Ismailis around the world commemorated his installation as the Imam (Takht Nashini) in various countries, including Uganda. In October 1957, a Takht Nashini ceremony was held on the grounds of Darkhana, Kampala; the memory of which has remained in the hearts of all who attended.
The Diamond Jubilee Hall, a multi-purpose facility serving as an extension, was donated and opened soon after. Built to commemorate Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah’s Diamond Jubilee, the hall still stands today, echoing the continuity of Imamat, as we celebrate Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee.
The exodus of Asians in the 1970s led to the building being unused for many years, until the Ugandan Jamat re-entered Darkhana in 1990. Shortly thereafter, Hazar Imam graced a steadily growing Ugandan Jamat with Deedar in 1992 — the first since the 1970’s — once again held inside the Jamatkhana at Darkhana, which stood as an emblem of the Jamat’s heritage and resilience. The Imam’s Golden Jubilee Darbar in 2007, and subsequent Deedar in 2011 were also held there.
The Darkhana Kampala is symbolic of the Jamat’s long history in East Africa, a history characterised by enterprise, continuity, turbulence, and resilience. Today, at Darkhana, the Ugandan Jamat will be graced with the first Darbar of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee year, where a new set of memories will be made and cherished for years to come.

2017, October 10th - Kampala, Uganda
On his way to the Darbar Hall, Mowlana Hazar Imam opened the window of his car and waved and blessed his International Jamat standing on the road, the first direct blessing to the international Jamat on the occasion of his Diamond Jubilee.
He subsequently gave Didar to his Uganda Jamat. Lets remind the Uganda Jamat that in 2011, our Imam had told them that they should welcome the international Jamat from all the countries as we are "One Jamat". This time Imam-e-Zaman gave them Duas for Unity.

Didar Testimony as received:
From a friend in Kampala
Mubaraki everyone!
Have just returned to Entebbe having had Deedar earlier.
Hazar Imam was very happy. Hazar Imam told Mukhi several times that he was very happy.
He talked of the importance of:
Hazar Imam also talked of the use of intellect and the importance of it. He was very happy with the honor the govt gave him. Hazar Imam stood up 4 times to give his best special blessings to everyone and all their families abroad. He said we could all go out and clog up the Ugandan telecommunications service and let all our families know that Hazar Imam was giving his special special best blessings.
He was very happy. He entered through the doors at the back instead of the front and also liked the flowers arranged.
I thought of everyone everywhere. I did not see any foreigners in khane. Khane seats about 3000 and everyone sat comfortably, I don’t think there was a crowded spot anywhere. I saw some people outside who said they weren’t allowed as they were not from Uganda! I thought everything seemed very organized overall. A very good feeling indeed!!

More testimonies coming:
As received from Tanzania
At the aéroport, most of the jamat was asked to Line allong the road and MHI wave at them from the car
But the other part of the jamat like us remained near the entrance of the main exit of airport. MHI dis not follow the carpet to VIP louange, instead bifurcated and enter by the door of main lobby where we where standing and waved to us and passed very near from us. And he came back from the same door before entering the car, so we where lucky to have twice the Didar.
Shuker.
Just received. Compare with the kind of positive testimonies received for the previous Golden Jubilee.
Now this is what happened:
The visiting murids were given hope (all precontrived) that perhaps they would be able to participate in the darbaar. They should report to the Aga Khan School at the earliest on the 10th of October. Who would not go?
Over 500 eager murids from outside Uganda flocked to the school as instructed, dressed for darbaar, hearts full of prayer, eyes full of hope and gratitude. Little did they know that this was a ruse to entrap them at the school so that they would not gather at the Kampala Serena Hotel or in or around the Jamatkhana.
A vile smelling kitchen was designated the holding room, where these murids were trapped for over 6 hours. It was hot and sultry, no A/C. The chairs were tightly packed together. Surely, all the makings of a prison camp.
Yes, water was offered at regular intervals. But that was about it.
Amongst these murids were some great-grandmothers, grandmothers, tired and ill-looking grandfathers, many on wheelchairs and crutches, having made the supreme effort to travel this far to have one last memorable darbaar with their beloved Imam before the end of their physical lives.
Such buzurg and all other visitors were kept in that vile smelly hot kitchen for the whole morning. The old ladies were crying voluminously. One old man nearly collapsed. But the volunteers guarding them had no regard for all this because after all this group of people had 'gone against the wishes of Hazar Imam by coming here' and so they deserved such treatment.
Finally, when the news arrived that Hazar Imam was to leave the hotel for the darbaar hall at 330pm, an announcement was made that Hazar Imam had refused I.e. Not granted the permission for the visiting murids to be taken to the jamatkhana for the darbaar. Instead, they were all led outside the school to line up on the curb alongside the road and were told they could wave at the Imam's motorcade which would pass by shortly.
So this is actually what happened with the visiting Jamat and these could not have been our beloved Hazar Imam's instructions. In fact, I am 100% sure all this was an LIF endeavour and Hazar Imam's name was used in vain.
In fact, I could clearly see that Hazar Imam did not wish for this to happen and I base my statement on the following:
1. The day, 10th of October, dawned with dark skies, thunderstorms and heavy rain. The Universe was sombre, giving advanced warning of the pain that was about to be inflicted on unsuspecting murids.
2. In the hotel, as the Imam exited for the darbaar, He waved and blessed the few murids who had gathered there, having had the foresight not to fall into the trap at the school.
The Imam was smiling from ear to ear at these murids and gave many of them personal nods and acknowledgements.
3. The motorcade of Beloved Hazar Imam slowed down considerably at the Aga Khan School. And Imam put down His window, literally, and smiled and waved and blessed the murids by the roadside.
Now let us think for a moment here:
Would the Imam have done so just moments after giving instructions that the same murids should not be taken to the darbaar hall?
Would the Imam have done so if these murids have truly been guilty of going against Hazar Imam's firmans?
This magnificent gesture by our beloved Imam clearly indicates that the Imam did not approve of the LIF decision. He felt the pain and the suffering of the visiting murids and He tried to alleviate their moods by putting down His window, which is a very rare occurrence, and bestowing them with His Noorani Deedar. The Imam did so both times - before going to the darbaar hall and after exiting from the darbaar hall.
4. By all accounts, the Imam's mood in the darbaar hall was sombre. The only jovial moment was when the Imam remembered the international Jamat and asked for His blessings to be conveyed to them and the urgency of this was emphasised by the Imam that these blessings must be conveyed, giving them the go ahead to clog up Uganda telecommunications.
After Mowla's motorcade had left the darbaar hall and passed the roadside murids then the volunteers are saying mubaraki to these murids. And then they are inviting them to come to jamatkhana in the evening and partake in biryani and dandia raas. What hypocrisy!
And for all this, the President of the Council for Uganda and the Council of Uganda is responsible!
Sure, you had to follow LIF instructions in order to maintain your positions. But you certainly did not have to behave like nazis towards the visiting Jamat. You have disgraced our community by making these murids stand on the roadside in full view of street vendors, boda boda drivers and the public at large, many of whom were gawking at the hollering old ladies and wondering what was happening.
You turned the Inaugural Diamond Jubilee into a messy public spectacle!!

Mawlana Hazar Imam graces Uganda Jamat with Darbar
Mawlana Hazar Imam met with the Ugandan Jamat on the historic occasion of his Diamond Jubilee visit to Uganda.
The Jamat gathered at Darkhana Kampala on 10 October for the first Darbar of the Diamond Jubilee year. President Minaz Jamal submitted pledges of loyalty to Mawlana Hazar Imam on behalf of the Jamat present, along with the gift of an enamel portrait of Fateh Ali Shah. The portrait is of direct relevance to the family history of Hazar Imam, as it was Fateh Ali Shah — at the time of his reign as Qajar king — who bestowed the title of Aga Khan on the 46th Ismaili Imam, Hasan Ali Shah.
Mawlana Hazar Imam gave guidance to the Jamat gathered, and bestowed blessings for the global Jamat. Shortly before leaving, Hazar Imam met with the Ugandan Jamati institutional leadership, and greeted the volunteers who bid him farewell. Upon his departure from Darkhana, Hazar Imam drove past the Aga Khan School, Kampala, where members of the Jamat who had travelled from outside Uganda had assembled.
Commemorating the momentous occasion, the Jamat came together to congratulate each other and celebrate the event, which will long live in the memory of all who were present.

Only some murids from the international Jamat could make it inside the didar hall, those who had contacts with the leaders. The remaining of the murids from international Jamat (called "foreigners"), about 700 of them had didar in the street when Hazar Imam's car passed.
Soon testimonies and gist of Farman will be available to the Jamat.
The Tanzanian Jamat gathered in Dar es Salaam on 12 October for the historic occasion of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee Darbar.
President Amin Lakhani submitted pledges of loyalty to Mawlana Hazar Imam on behalf of the Jamat of the Tanzanian jurisdiction. A gift of eight Fatimid coins minted in Al Mahdia for the first eight Fatimid Imams was also presented to Hazar Imam by the Jamat. Mawlana Hazar Imam gave guidance to the Jamat who were in attendance and conveyed blessings for the global Jamat.
The Darbar was held at the Aga Khan Diamond Jubilee Hall in Dar es Salaam. The unique history of the Aga Khan Diamond Jubilee Hall stems from the Diamond Jubilee of Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah. The land was acquired using the Nazrana presented to him in 1946. The hall is used as a sports centre and a social venue for congregational activities. It has also served as the location for numerous Deedars.
On his departure, Mawlana Hazar Imam drove nearby to Upanga Jamatkhana, where members of the Jamat who had travelled from outside Tanzania were assembled. After bidding farewell to Hazar Imam, the Jamat celebrated the momentous occasion together long into the evening.

Political crisis in UK after PM Theresa May faces mass rebellion over Brexit deal, several ministers resign
JKR Staff
The government in UK led by Prime Minister Theresa May plunged into a deep crisis on Monday after a ‘mass rebellion’ by several ministers, who quit the government protesting over the Brexit deal.
The first to announce his resignation was Brexit Minister David Davis, who said that he believed the UK’s plans had become “diluted” and that he would be a “reluctant conscript” if he stayed in his position to push May’s latest Brexit proposal that was adopted by the cabinet on Friday.
In her reply to Davis, May thanked him for his service but also laid out 12 reasons why she did”not agree” with his comments. She wrote, “I am sorry that you have chosen to leave the government when we have already made so much progress towards delivering a smooth and successful Brexit, and when we are only eight months from the date set in law when the United Kingdom will leave the European Union.
“At Chequers on Friday, we as the cabinet agreed a comprehensive and detailed proposal which provides a precise, responsible and credible basis for progressing our negotiations towards a new relationship between the UK and the EU after we leave in March.”
Then came the bigger bombshell in the shape of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson announcing his resignation on the same issue. In his resignation letter to May, Johnson wrote, “Dear Theresa, It is more than two years since the British people voted to leave the European Union on an unambiguous and categorical promise that if they did so they would be taking back control of their democracy.
“They were told that they would be able to manage their own immigration policy, repatriate the sums of UK cash currently spent by the EU, and, above all, that they would be able to pass laws independently and in the interests of the people of this country.
“Brexit should be about opportunity and hope. It should be a chance to do things differently, to be more nimble and dynamic, and to maximise the particular advantages of the UK as an open, outward-looking global economy.
“That dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt.”
May thanked him for his letter ‘relinquishing the office of Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs’ but did not agree with his assertion on Brexit deal being struck by her government.
She wrote, “As I outlined at Chequers, the agreement we reached requires the full, collective support of Her Majesty’s Government. During the EU referendum campaign, collective responsibility on EU policy was temporarily suspended. As we developed our policy on Brexit, I have allowed Cabinet colleagues considerable latitude to express their individual views. But the agreement we reached on Friday marks the point where that is no longer the case, and if you are not able to provide the support we need to secure this deal in the interests of the United Kingdom, it is right that you should step down.
“As you do so, I would like to place on record my appreciation of the service you have given to our country, and to the Conservative Party, as Mayor of London and as Foreign Secretary – not least for the passion that you have demonstrated in promoting a Global Britain to the world as we leave the European Union.”
Faced with a string of resignations, May was quick to announce a cabinet reshuffle. The long-serving health secretary Jeremy Hunt was announced as Johnson’s successor, while Dominic Raab was appointed as new Brexit Minister in place of Davis. Culture Secretary Matt Hancock was named the new Health Secretary in place of Hunt, while Jeremy Wright was moved out of his Attorney General’s role to replace Hancock. Geoffrey Cox was later announced to be the new Attorney General.
Many pundits believed that May quickly announcing a cabinet reshuffle was a smart move since it enabled her to starve off a possible confidence vote. BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg said that what Boris Johnson says next could change the dynamic a lot.
She said that May haf “done what some urged her to do for months” – namely to face down David Davis and Boris Johnson. It also refreshes the cabinet, “ties in Brexiteers with ambition, Gove and Raab”, and so “has space for inevitable compromise with EU” – and Eurosceptics are weak as they won’t unite, she added.

Kin & Company is the Brooklyn design practice of cousins Joseph Vidich, a Columbia University-trained architect with a deep knowledge of metalworking and fabrication, and Kira de Paola, an interior designer with a background in high-end furniture.
After years of refining their edgy aesthetic, Kin & Company’s premiere collection debuted in 2017 at the fairs Sight Unseen OFFSITE and WantedDesign, where they received immediate attention for their sculptural, lifelike pieces. Their Thin Series was selected as an NYCxDesign finalist in the Made in the Boroughs category, and was name-checked by Dezeen, while their Crescent Table landed them on Sight Unseen’s American Design Hot List, ”an unapologetically subjective editorial award for the names to know now,” and a veritable who’s who of independent designers.
Grounded in precision and strong attention to detail, their latest collections expand on the themes first presented in their Thin and Crescent series to push the limits of steel even further. Inspired by the overlapping circles, arcs and planes of Russian Constructivism, they take simple, fundamental geometry and find moments to subvert the form in order to create kinetic and expressive objects.
Continual exploration is key to Kin & Company’s creative practice, which thrives on material experimentation, including their developing body of research into oxidation and patinas as a distinct surface treatment. Akin to watercoloring, the process uses metal as a canvas, applying chemical catalysts to accelerate the natural oxidation of the material. The results capture the fluid and ephemeral movement of molecules to create a distinct pattern.
Kin & Company’s dramatic, curvilinear transformations of metal and their rich surface textures bring forward a fresh and multi-layered approach to minimalist design.

Tenille Townes to Release Debut Album, “The Lemonade Stand,” This Spring
by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | January 14, 2020
In the build-up to the spring release of her debut album, The Lemonade Stand, Tenille Townes will drop a new six-song EP, Road to the Lemonade Stand, on Feb. 7.
Produced by Jay Joyce, the new EP features five songs written by Tenille, including her Top 30 hit, “Somebody’s Daughter,” and current single, “Jersey On The Wall (I’m Just Asking),” as well as a rendition of Keith Urban’s “Stupid Boy.”
“I wanted to put out this EP to continue to tell the story of these songs,” says Tenille. “This EP is for everyone that has been on this road with me so far . . . the ones who have shared their stories at the shows and in messages and who have given these songs a home. You have shaped me and shaped the meaning of The Lemonade Stand. I’m so excited to walk on this Road to the Lemonade Stand with you.”

The European Year for Development: Europe in the World
The world has changed in recent years, in ways that have undermined the traditional development model. The new 'Sustainable Development Goals' (SDGs) – to be agreed in September 2015 by the UN – will need to reflect these new realities and emerging challenges. A majority of the world's poorest people live in developing countries, where aid represents only a small percentage of all development financing. Aid remains important: its exclusive goal is promoting development, and it composes a large share of low income countries' development financing. The EU's new development policy aims to focus aid on the poorest countries. The European Parliament (EP) has welcomed this, while warning about the criteria used to judged countries' need. Together, the EU and its Member States remain the world's largest donor, although they contribute far less than the 0.7 % of gross national income (GNI) to which Member States committed. The EP has called on the EU to meet its commitments and adopt concrete measures to make internal policies coherent with development objectives.

OBJECTIVE: To study a group of 29 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have been treated with both tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha antagonists, etanercept and infliximab and to determine the correlation of responses and complications seen in these patients. METHODS: Patients' responses to and complications from either treatment were reviewed retrospectively by determining the joint counts, acute phase reactants, as well as occurrences of infection, hypersensitivity, and cytopenia. The correlation of responses and complications was determined using phi coefficients and exact p values. RESULTS: There was no correlation between the joint count responses (exact p value for correlation coefficient, 0.70) and acute phase reactant responses (exact p value 0.14) with the use of etanercept and infliximab in the same patient. There was no correlation between the occurrences of drug hypersensitivity reactions (exact p value 0.20) or infectious complications (exact p value 1.00). However, the occurrence of anemia with the use of one TNF-alpha antagonist was correlated with a similar occurrence with the use of the other antagonist (exact p value 0.007). CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that patients who fail to respond to one TNF-alpha antagonist can respond to the other antagonist. Furthermore, there appears to be no contraindication to using one TNF-alpha antagonist for patients who have developed hypersensitivity reactions to the other. The infections observed in our study were generally mild and did not necessarily recur with the use of the second antagonist. In contrast, anemia, when present with the use of one agent, was likely to occur with the use of the second agent.

‘Makara’ by Kristen Ringman
Review by Sara Rauch
Makara (Handtype Press), Kristen Ringman’s debut novel, is the story of Fionnuala, the deaf daughter of a man and a selchie, or seal-woman. The selchies are mythical creatures of Ireland—as legend has it they may leave the sea for seven years, after which they are beholden to return to the water. Fionnuala’s attachment to her mother is fierce, but most of Makara takes place once Fionnuala’s mother has returned to the ocean. Traversing from Ireland to India to Venice, Makara manages to be both ethereal and incredibly earthly at the same time. It is a coming-of-age story unlike any other.
Makara is full of binaries. Fionnuala’s deafness heightens her experience of internal versus external. Her experience of the world is a very interior one—even the dialogue in the novel seems not of the outside world. That being said, Fionnuala’s observant nature makes the external world come alive when she describes it. She says upon arrival in India: “The air was filled with dust and black clouds. I coughed a few times. Musky perfumed incense mixed with fuel oils. People were everywhere, hanging out of buses and tiny rickshaw taxies that were like golf carts with bright yellow hoods.” Also binary is Fionnuala’s sexuality, which awakens to Neela, the daughter of the family she lives with in India, though she is not averse to dalliances with boys later on. There is, however, some uneasiness and confusion over her sex with men, due to a rape when she was younger. The rape, as it turns out, plays a pivotal role in the structure of Fionnuala’s life—not only because of her emotional reactions to it, but also because of her family’s reactions to it.
One of the most extraordinary aspects of Makara is Ringman’s treatment of the body–Fionnuala is born with webbed fingers and toes, but that’s just the beginning of her heightened viewpoint of the world around her. Fionnuala’s deafness is central to her narrative, and this definitely influences how important her other senses are to her. One of the most powerful scenes is when Fionnuala learns to “listen” in the darkness:
I couldn’t hear footsteps. Everything in the dark reaches me through my eyes and skin. I see shadows, glimpses, movements. Most of my surroundings don’t exist unless they are something I can touch, see, or smell. But I do feel things. Every motion in the dark has a domino effect.
By the time Fionnuala reaches Venice as a teenager, she is in full coming-of-age struggle. She rejects her father and mourns the loss of her mother, Neela, and her old life in India. But Venice holds the key to transformation for Fionnuala. She meets two friends and begins working as a street mime – an impulse that proves as natural to Fionnuala as swimming underwater. Though Fionnuala’s story is far from finished while she is in Venice, The Floating City is where she gets her stride, and with it, an understanding of her life.
Makara is a strange, mysterious novel. Many parts of it are disorienting (though I don’t say this as a criticism). The vocabulary alone—filled with Irish words and unusual images—is enchanting. But deep down, Makara is a love story. Fionnuala’s love for her mother, for Neela, for her friends in Venice, and ultimately, for her father, infuse the novel with brilliance and beauty.
Ringman writes in straightforward, uncluttered prose, and this serves the story well – because there are many places where the plot enters strange territory, and having a grounded writing style keeps the novel from floating away. Fionnuala feels and perceives the world in a very tactile way and her narration captures this well.
Though Makara is a slim book, it takes some time to get through. The dense prose and interiority of the narrative submerge the reader in a strange, beguiling new experience. Be ready to dive into a world unlike any other.

The compass, the king and the stories we tell
It must have been a strange moment for Bertram Ratcliffe when he met the king. A telegram arrived – even advising which train he should take – and he was on his way to tell stories of his First World War service to George V himself. His story was unique: he was the first British prisoner of war to escape and make it home.

The South Bank Show archive finds a new home
Unseen footage of major cultural figures of the last 50 years is moving to Leeds. The thousands of video tapes from the 32 year run of The South Bank have been acquired from ITV by the University and feature figures from Harold Pinter to Dolly Parton. The cultural coup has been driven by the University's Chancellor Melvyn Bragg, who conceived, edited and presented the flagship arts show throughout its run. The South Bank Show was a mainstay of British living rooms on Sunday nights from 1978 until 2010 and is widely celebrated for the way it combined high art and popular culture for a mass audience.
