The electrical reactions are normal, there is no alteration in sensations, no definite evidence of increase of reflexes, nor are there involuntary muscular movements. As I shall presently show, the complete and perfect isolation of the patient from these unhealthy conditions forms the very foundation and essence of the systematic management of these cases, and when once this has been accomplished, an enormous leverage has been obtained for the successful application of other methods of cure: diminished ability to taste amoxicillin. Amoxicillin rx 655 dosage - in the absence of special indications.
The attack began to subside with the removal of the restraint. Tlie attendance at the funeral was very large (amoxicillin 500mg dosage for strep).

In most of them the pedicle was clamped, then cauterized, then tied with a Chinese silk ligature, and returned to the abdominal cavity.

Which had continued since with high feyer.
But in paralytic conditions there was a postparah'tic contracture, causing what was almost ankylosis, and the operation might be as embarrassing as the one he had related. If Pasteur's idea as to the dissymmetry of crystals were confirmed, a great scientific advance was assured: fifth's disease reaction to amoxicillin. In the whole series of eighty-four patients there were twenty-one cases of primary abdominal tuberculosis, of which seven gave the human bacillus." If we hold the theory that the majority of bone cases in children have become infected through the alimentary canal, and if we also bear in mind the fact that a large number of children of the upper classes become infected every year with tuberculous joints and glands, and that these have in very many instances been very carefully protected from any possible contamination with phthisical cases, but have had an abundance of raw milk and cream, it is not unreasonable to argue that a tuberculous bone does not necessarily lead to pulmonary Nathan Raw holds a still stronger position than this, and thereby possibly confuses between cause and effect. He had in a few cases tried the slipping of an elastic band over the cervix, thus bringing the parts together, and the results had justified a further trial of the method.
In fact it may be said tnat physicians are too prone now to attribute everything to systemic infection, to condemn a patient before the etiology of the disease has been proven, to overlook the fact that even though the tubercle bacilli has been found in the sputa, that there is a good chance for the infection to be thrown off and the patient restored to health (where can i get amoxicillin for my dog). Emmet had stated that he had never treated such a case without there being present also more or less laceration of the cervix.

Military Courts Report 2010: Summary
In May 2011, the Israeli military courts published their annual report on their activities during 2010, providing detailed statistics on files considered by the court, hearings held, administrative detention orders issued, and appeals filed by defense and prosecution lawyers.

Forgotten City, Forgotten People: Jerusalemite Political Prisoners, the Oslo Process and a Struggle for Freedom
The following paper looks at the current conditions of Jerusalemite political prisoners in the context of the Oslo “Peace Process” agreements.

THE TORTURE AND ILL TREATMENT OF PALESTINIAN DETAINEES
On September 6, 1999 the Israeli High Court of Justice, ruled to ban the use of torture during interrogation. This, however, did not explicitly forbid the use of torture but rather allowed that interrogation methods deemed as torture (named as moderate physical pressure) may be used in the “necessity of defence” and in situations where a detainee is deemed a ‘ticking bomb’. In some instances,...

On September 26, 2005 the Israeli occupation forces launched their campaign of arrest and detained 450 members of the Hamas party.

ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION: GET THE FACTS
As of March 2009, there were 650 administrative detainees in Israeli prisons and detention centers including 5 women and 13 children under the age of 18. Israeli military and civil laws related to the administrative detention orders are based on the British Mandate Emergency Law for the year 1945. Military Order 1226 (1988) empowers commanders of the Israeli army to detain Palestinian West Bank...
THE PALESTINIAN PRISONERS OF ISRAEL
Since the beginning of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories in 1967, over 700,000 Palestinians have been detained by Israel. This forms approximately 20% of the total Palestinian population in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).

THE ISRAELI MILITARY SYSTEM
On 7 June 1967 the new Israeli occupying forces in the West Bank issued Military proclamation No. 1. It justified itself with the words ‘in the interests of security and public order’. Since that time, the Israeli authorities have issued over 2,500 such military orders, with enormous impact on Palestinian life. These orders serve as justification every time the Israeli authorities arrest a...

Renown Levels
Gaining Renown
Awarded Renown
Requested Renown
Losing Renown
To have Renown is to be known and spoken of by other people, from associates to strangers to foreigners in distant lands. The Renown system is used to indicate the degree of recognition for a character and how widely they are known. There is no distinction made between fame and infamy; and while a character only has one Renown level, the particulars of their reputation may be complex and even contradictory.
Plebian: A Plebian is just an ordinary citizen, known among his family and friends and immediate circle of acquaintances, but completely unremarkable to the greater part of the populace. All PCs begin at this level, and must build themselves a greater reputation through RP. Plebian Reputation can be omitted from the character sheet.
Standout: A Standout character has begun to make a name for themselves among a specific community and sphere of influence. This could be their neighborhood, a particular faction or group, trade professionals, or even public officials. Outside that sphere, the character is hardly recognized. They may appear in greater news (or gossip) from time to time, but have yet to leave a lasting mark on public opinion. Characters who are Exceptional in their job skill are also eligible for Standout Renown.
Local Repute: One who has earned Local Repute is recognized around much of their polity; they are associated with particular events, a skillset, or a profession in the minds of many. If such a character were mentioned on the street, most residents would be able to say "oh, isn't that the person who…" However, they are little-known outside their own polity. This level of Renown applies to most public figures and to Masters of their trades. Characters who have Mastered their job skill (and are already at Standout) are also eligible for Local Repute.
Local Prominence: Someone with Local Prominence is a celebrity indeed; they are a household name within their polity, and they typically have a great deal of influence or standing. Anything they do may be scrutinized in the court of public opinion, and their actions are liable to provide gossip fodder for weeks. This level of Renown primarily applies to high government officials, celebrities, and others who have been acting under the public eye for an extended period. Such people remain little-known outside their home polity.
Wide Repute:
Wide Prominence:
Renown may be earned in one of two ways: by spontaneous Storyteller award or by submitting a Special Request.
Storytellers may award a character with Standout Renown based upon actions and events in a moderated thread. This is granted solely at the Storyteller's discretion, and has no prerequisites.
Storytellers may also elevate a Standout character to Local Repute as an award from a moderated thread. This should only be given if at least two seasons have passed since they gained Standout, and if both player activity and character actions in the interim justify further increase to their Renown.
In both of these cases, the Storyteller will provide the player with a short paragraph describing their current reputation.
Players may submit a Special Request to increase their character's Renown at any time. They must provide an IC justification, including threads in support that show the character developing their greater Renown; even if it is based on simple skill proficiency, the character must be doing something to build their reputation. The player also needs to supply a paragraph describing the desired reputation.
Renown requests are reviewed by a Senior Storyteller or Moderator on a case-by-case basis, and approval depends upon the character's skill proficiencies, time and activity at their current level, social and political position, and overall narrative developed through their threads. Higher levels of Renown may also require that the character have cultivated their reputation in multiple polities.
As a rule, any player aiming for more than Local Repute should already be working closely with staff regarding their character's position and ongoing plots. Requests for higher Renown levels should not come out of the blue from the staff perspective.

Home > About The Lab
Assaigai's unusual name means "spear" in the African Zulu language and was chosen to reflect the accurate, true and defensive aspects of the spear. This weapon was credited with much of the success of Shaka Zulu's takeover of a majority Africa in the 19th Century. The spear was relatively effective for those times because the short shaft, long bladed weapon could either be thrown or utilized in hand to hand combat. In reference to the lab, the Assaigai name was taken from a wonderful French thoroughbred racehorse named "Assagai" from which the lab founder acquired a foal. This foal, named "Assagai's Back", was magnificent and very competitive and campaigned quite successfully in the Southwestern United States horse racing arena. With all these desirable characteristics in mind, the name was adopted for the lab to reflect the same aspects of true accuracy, defensibility, effectiveness and competitiveness.
Assaigai began its corporate life as a mining service lab analyzing for mining and exploration industries from Coal, Uranium, Copper and Oil and Gas development and production, The founders and present owners were individuals involved with the various mining and production companies who could lend great expertise to an analytical facility involved in practical issues of process and environmental compliance and contamination.
By the mid 1980's, mining in the southwest was declining while environmental issues were coming to the forefront. Assaigai began to make a natural transition to the burgeoning concerns of environmental protection. By the late 1980's, management had determined to make the necessary upgrades in equipment, systems and quality to afford virtually full service and accredited accuracy in environmental laboratory services.
Assaigai's core competencies are now in the industrial hygiene and air quality services and testing arena.

Kalev/TLU defeat TTU again
09.01.2018, Povilas Baranauskas, BBL News Services
TALLINN - In the second derby matchup between Tallinna Kalev/TLU and TTU, the visiting TLU managed to come out on top again, defeating their opponents 90-75 and winning the season series 2-0.
The first game, which was played in Kalev's home court, ended in an 80-72 win for the hosts, as they were powered by a big double-double from Bamba Fall. This time, even with a more modest performance from the Senegalese big man, TLU didn't have too much trouble dealing with their opponents.
The game started off close, with neither side losing any ground after ten minutes - the score was tied at 23. The gap widened in the later half of the second quarter, as the margin reached double-digits.
The margin hovered around a dozen points in the third period, but TTU gained some momentum with the start of the final period, as they went on an 11-3 run to cut the gap to just 3. However, TTU seemed to have run out of steam, and the visitors responded with a big run of their own, cementing the victory.
TLU were led by a 17-point performance from Reimo Tamm, while Dorde Dzeletovic added 16. Bambale Osby had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Bamba Fall ended up with 13 points and 7 boards. Tom Kaldre finished up with a dozen points in his account.
Martin Giese was the leading scorer for TTU with 17 points of his own, while Sten Olmre and Sander Viilup chipped in with 15 and 14 points respectively. Matthias Tass finished with 11 points, while Oliver Metsalu added 10.

8 Easy Ways to Make an Impact
Active Veggie is a Superveggie!
Animal Friends are celebrating four international days
Animal Friends this year is also organizing Animal Friends Days by which it wants to mark all the important dates regarding animal rights and vegetarianism and also the fifth year of the organization.
Friday, September 29, 2006 – the second time in a row a free concert with vegan tasting will be held in the Boogaloo Club (ex OTV, Vukovarska 68) starting at 8 P.M. The following bands will play: Nervousstand, Scroll, Dead by Mistake, Igut, and Hidden Layer.
Saturday, September 30, 2006 – On the corner of Varsavska ulica and Petar Preradovic Square, an information stall will be placed where the petition for a better vegetarian offer can be signed; by this petition all stores and chain stores are provoked to expand their vegetarian offer due to increased number of people that recognize the advantages of this type of diet.
Sunday, October 1, 2006 – on the World Vegetarian Day, in Maksimir Park, within the program that is organized by City's Committee for Agriculture and Forestry, members of organization at 12 noon will invite everybody to vegetarian food tasting. Also, for the youngest drawing and coloring of the animals will be organized. They will be awarded with healthy and tasty cookies made without eggs or cow milk.
Monday, October 2, 2006 – on the World Farm Animals Day, on Ban Jelacic Square at 12 noon, a provocative performance will be held, where "naked and bloody activists" will try to encourage people to think about billions of animals captivated on farms so they can be killed for human habit of meat-eating.
Tuesday, October 3, 2006 – on the World Lab Animals Day, on the corner of Varsavska ulica and Petar Preradovic Square at 12 noon, Animal Friends will be showing a video footage of animals tortured in laboratories and handing out so called "black and white list" of companies that do (not) test their products on animals.
Wednesday, October 4, 2006 – on the World Animal Protection Day, also in the City's Committee for Agriculture and Forestry program, on Ban Jelacic Square, Animal Friends will install a photo-exhibition on a six meter high iron construction. Photographs will be showing animals in their natural surroundings and artificial ones where they are molested and exposed to violent death by mankind.
During this six days program, Animal Friends members will be handing out postcards, along with all the other educational materials. We invite all those who are interested that they mark these four international days with us!

Abstract & Modernism at New Hampshire Antique Co-op
in Milford, New Hampshire now through August 31st
Little Flowers Under Moonlight by Walasse Ting.
Dubbed "Best of New Hampshire" by New Hampshire Magazine, the New Hampshire Antique Co-op is one of the largest and finest group antique shops in the state. Established in 1983, the shop features more than 200 dealers showcasing fine art, period furniture, vintage wares and collectibles. The current exhibition echoes the style and profoundness of the venue itself. Abstract & Modernism: 1950s to Today is an exhibit and sale of paintings by artists representative of this post-war cultural and artistic movement. Highlights among the artists representing the earlier decades of the exhibit include Louise Nevelson (1900-1988), Paul Jenkins (1923-2012), Walasse Ting (1929-2010), Karel Appel (1921 - 2006) and Robert Hughes (1915-2004). Nevelson is considered to be one of the most important and influential female American artists of the 20th century. Appel, Jenkins and Ting are leading American Abstract Expressionists. Hughes hails from New Hampshire, where he received numerous artistic and teaching accolades. His sculptures are often compared to works by Henri Moore and William Zorach. More recent examples of this cultural movement and perspective include works by notable contemporary artists from the Monadnock region, including Anna Von Mertens, Christopher Myott, Roz Park, Jessie Pollock and Jason Reimers. All have exhibited throughout New England and beyond. These featured artists aim to break with previously traditional art forms and trends, transcending into realms that utilize shapes, forms, colors and textures in unrealistic, often unimaginable ways. Abstract & Modernism: 1950s to Today will be on view in the Tower Gallery at New Hampshire Antique Co-op for all of spring and most of summer, lasting through Sunday, August 31st. The shop is open daily from 10am-5pm, making it easy for you to fit this exhibition onto your seasonal must-see list.

The Flower Show at Jamestown Arts Center
in Jamestown, Rhode Island April 18th through May 23rd
Fact and Fancy 6" by Georgia Marsh, 2013, 30" x 40", oil and graphite on duralar.
There will be no sign of snow, no talk of polar vortexes at Jamestown Art Center's upcoming exhibition. The Flower Show: Paintings by Georgia Marsh is the artist's debut solo show in Rhode Island and the first time these recent paintings have been exhibited anywhere. With a track record of exhibits across New York and Europe, the JAC is honored to host Georgia Marsh's first solo exhibition in the state of Rhode Island. Don't let the title of Marsh's show fool you—there's much more at work here than pretty flowers and promising blooms. In The Flower Show, Marsh's paintings capture the beauty of nature in a dimension that's possible only in art and our imagination. She skillfully applies the techniques of traditional observation painting to address contemporary dialogues about art and beauty, an approach that ignites in viewers a sense of nostalgia for organic beauty that has faded from us in our post-natural world. By combining both abstraction and representation, Marsh challenges our preconceptions of painting and nature. Marsh has received many awards, including two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, an NEA international fellowship through the La Napoule Foundation in France, a Pollock/Krasner Foundation Fellowship and a lifetime achievement award from the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation. Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Musee National d'Art Moderne in Paris, the National Museum for American Arts in Washington DC and the New York Public Library, among others. Recently, Marsh's beautiful Jamestown garden was featured in the March issue of Rhode Island Monthly. The Flower Show will open at Jamestown Art Center on Friday, April 18th from 6-8pm. It will be on view through Friday, May 23rd with the following gallery hours: Wednesday through Saturday, 10am-2pm.
Screen Prints, Block Prints & Graphic Images at The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery
in North Attleboro, Massachusetts now through April 30th
Ride or Die by Kris Johnsen, screen print.
It's no secret that North Attleboro is a town rich in both talent and creativity, making it the ideal location for The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery. This shop doubles as a custom picture-framing store and a rotating art gallery, a functionality that makes a lot of sense, given the location of the store. Here they frame art, display art and sell art, but most importantly, they celebrate art. Screen Prints, Block Prints & Graphic Images is the current exhibition at The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery, featuring bold images in screen prints, lino-cut prints and spray paint stencils. All prints are hand made by various artists from local and distant parts of the country and are professionally framed in a variety of frame styles including reclaimed cedar, 100 year old Douglas Fir, scrap pallet and ornate. Basically, this is a good-looking, good-smelling combination of artistic talent and professional rustic framing. The show features prints by: Kris Johnsen (Portland, ME), Xander Marro (Providence, RI), Joe Levesque (Plainville, MA), William Schaff (Providence, RI), Derrick Castle (Whitehouse, TN), Jose Pulido (Los Angeles, CA) and Andy Reach (North Attleboro, MA). Screen Prints, Block Prints & Graphic Images is on view now through Wednesday, April 30th. With a focus in preserving both the past and future, it only makes sense that The Preservation Framer showcases art always, even between exhibitions. The venue regularly showcases photography by Patty Hitchcock and Jen Osojnicki and works by Colleen Vandeventer and Lindsay Nygaard, along with the annual winners of The North Attleboro Junior-Senior Student Art Show. Furthermore, The Preservation Framer remains the exclusive retailer of the incomparable Peter Clarke, whose pen and ink illustrations have made him a nationally recognized figure, and whose depictions of turn-of-the-century townships and local hot spots have elevated him to legendary status around southeastern Massachusetts. It has been said Clarke's hand-stippled originals must be seen to be believed, which means you'll have to make a trip to The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery in the near future.

MADE YOU LOOK TWICE
The Combination of Printmaking and Drawing
Yields Poetry at the Chandler Gallery's Small Works Salon
When both printmaking and drawing are used to create a single work, the results can make the viewer do a double take. The Chandler Gallery's 2014 Small Works Salon, "Direct/Indirect," juried by Bill Flynn, gathers the best examples of drawing on top of prints and printing on top of drawings. Flynn, a professor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and an accomplished artist with a background in both drawing and printmaking, couldn't wait to see how the entries would incorporate the two mediums. Flynn says he was looking for "a collage that joggles your brain" along with "a little bit of poetry."
"Direct/Indirect" is on display at the Chandler Gallery from April 1st through May 9th with an opening reception on
Sunday, April 13th, from 3-5pm.

Most of you have probably heard the songs 'Blue Monday' or 'Bizarre Love Triangle,' but not everyone knows that New Order formed out of one of the greatest bands of the last 40+ years - if not all time - Joy Division. On the brink of JD's first US tour - and the release of their second album, Closer - singer Ian Curtis took his own life. After a short break, the remaining three members (with the addition of drummer Stephen Morris' girlfriend, Gillian Gilbert) created a new group, that went on to create some pretty amazing work. I've always claimed that New Order is/was a great singles band, so it was educating to go back and listen to every song, including all of the deep album cuts and b-sides.
Scroll down to the bottom for a Spotify playlist featuring these songs. So without further delay, I'd like to present my list of the 15 Best Songs of New Order.
15. Waiting for the Sirens' Call
Released as single; appeared on the album Waiting For The Sirens' Call (2005)
The 15th place is a difficult one - so many good songs fighting for it. Let's go with the title track to their 2005 LP.
14. Age of Consent
From the album Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)
I've always loved the melodic interplay between the guitar and bass.
13. Procession
Released as New Order's second, non-album single (1981)
Features backing vocals by Gillian Gilbert.
12. The Him
From the album Movement (1981)
Haunting. And how about the outro - Hooky's galloping bass, the rolling toms, Bernard's signature jagged rhythm stabs and that keyboard line. Stunning.
11. True Faith
Released as a non-album single; and compiled on Substance (1987)
We all attach memories to songs of our youth. Every time I hear this one, I smell orange blossoms in the Arizona night.
10. Dreams Never End
The opening track on NO's debut LP - that's bass player Peter Hook on vocals.
09. In a Lonely Place
Released as a b-side to the Ceremony single (1981)
This track was written in the Joy Division days, with lyrics by Ian Curtis.
08. Everything's Gone Green
Released as the band's third single (1981); and complied on Substance (1987)
One of the first New Order songs that I fell in love with back in my teenage days.
07. Vanishing Point
From the album Technique (1989)
Brilliant how Hooky's bass playing adds another melodic element to the refrains and instrumental parts of this otherwise electronic piece.
06. Blue Monday
The best-selling 12-inch single of all time (1983)
The original packaging was die-cut, and made to look like a 5 1/4 inch floppy disc.
05. Bizarre Love Triangle
Released as single; appeared on the album Brotherhood (1986)
Even if you've never heard of New Order, I reckon you've heard this song.
04. Temptation
Released as a non-album single (1982)
"Oh you've got green eyes, oh you've got blue eyes, oh you've got grey eyes..."
03. Run
Released as remixed single; appeared on the album Technique (1989)
Every time that first guitar break kicks in... goosebumps - such a great sound.
02. Regret
Released as single; appeared on the album Republic (1993)
I used to listen to 'Regret' over and over and over again when it came out. In fact, I still do.
01. Ceremony
Released as the very first New Order single (1981)
This was also a Joy Division song that made the transition over to New Order - becoming their very first single - amazing.

Tales That Witness Madness (1973)
Yup, it's another anthology, famous for one segment in particular and packed to the gunnels with a variety of semi-famous 70s character actors.
As usual with these affairs, the anthology itself hinges on a fairly shaky premise. But even by the standards of Amicus classics like Asylum (a mental hospital), From Beyond The Grave (a shop) or The House That Dripped Blood (erm… a house) this one's pretty poor, and almost non-existent. Quite what Donald Pleasance's character is hoping to achieve with his bizarre experiments is completely unfathomable (although this in itself is "sort of" explained at the end of the film).
Basically, Pleasance is Dr Tremayne, a man on a mission (aren't they always?). He's brought together a disparate group of nutters who he is keeping in his white walled hospital. Each of their stories is vital to his research… but why? That's what his latest visitor (a particularly wooden Jack Hawkins) is endeavouring to find out. "I can't tell you how pleased I am." He stiltedly tells the doctor. "All… four… cases resolved."
But are they? Resolved, I mean. After all, each of his patients still seems completely mental.
Story one revolves around a young boy called Paul whose "imaginary" friend is Mr Tiger. But Mr Tiger appears to be still around - after all, the boy greets his visitors with the question: "Is it feeding time already? Have you got any bones?"
Paul's story begins by showing that his family life was pretty much the same as Ian Bannen's in From Beyond The Grave - ie. Lots of shouting and slamming of doors. His mum's a starey-eyed waste of space and his dad looks like one of those bearded Action Men from the early 70s.
Understandably, neither of his angry parents are particularly happy about the idea of Mr Tiger, especially when Paul starts hiding food in his room to feed his invisible friend.
As she shuts Paul's bedroom window for what feels like the hundredth time, mum tells him: "If Mr Tiger wants to come in here, he'll use the front door like everyone else."
Of course, at this point the front door opens slowly. And it's not long before everyone's drenched in blood, in a nasty gory scene completely ruined (or improved, if you're of that kind of a mind) by young Paul plinky-plonking away on his toy piano…
Story two starts with patient Tim telling his visitors: "I killed Uncle Albert… but he made me do it!"
Tim used to run an antiques shop, apparently, and it's here that we start the second flashback, as he takes delivery of a stack of old tat from a recently deceased aunt - including a penny farthing and a portrait of his old Uncle Albert, a stern looking Victorian gentleman.
It's not long before Tim begins to realise that the antique bike and the portrait are connected in some way - he finds himself drawn towards the bike and the wheels spin of their own accord - and unknown to him, Uncle Albert's picture keeps changing depending on his mood (quizzical, angry or annoyed, by the look of him). This effect is done literally by just changing the photo in the frame - and is actually chilling the first time it happens. Unfortunately, it also reminded me fatally of the title sequence to children's favourite Bagpuss, hence rendering it uselessly hilarious for the remainder of the segment.
As past and present start to merge (Tim finds himself in a beautifully filmed Victorian world), our hero gets drawn into a web of murder, zombies and antique bicycles.
"Does anyone here love me?" asks Brian (Michael Jayston) at the start of the film's most famous segment. Yup, it's the one with Joan Collins and the tree.
Only in the 1970s could someone go out jogging with the express intent of picking up a newspaper, cigarettes and chocolate (very healthy), but that appears to be what old Brian does as his health routine. It's on one of these trips that he returns with a six foot tree and proceeds to install it in on the cream shag pile, much to the consternation of his missus (Collins).
Joan reckons it's "about as attractive as a petrified forest" (eh?), but she's right to be worried. It's not long before "Mel" (her name for the tree after discovering some graffiti carved onto its trunk) is soiling the carpet, spiking her hand, moving about a bit and even breathing.
As Joan gets more and more angry and jealous of her wooden love rival (oh, the irony), she pours cognac over it and then tries to win Brian back by putting on a baby doll nightie and telling him there's a Western on the telly in the bedroom. After dreaming she's been attacked by trees (which rip her top off, Evil Dead - style), Joan goes to fetch a machete - but who ends up getting the chop?
After a brief sojourn back in the hospital where Pleasance and Hawkins spout more bizarre gibberish about being discredited, we come to story four, a tale of voodoo, dinner parties and Mary Tamm's arse.
Tremaine's fourth patient (Kim Novak) is the agent for Kemo, a vaguely Hawaiian (ie he has a tan) cove who starts the segment promising his dying mother that he'll do "something" to help save their mortal souls. Quite why he needs an agent (or what he actually does) is anyone's guess, but Novak seems determined to keep him on her books - so much so that she plans a big Hawaiian party for him. The shockingly young Tamm is Virginia, Novak's (underage) daughter, but, as she explains to the drooling Kemo, "Come the holidays, and out they blossom" (well, we can but hope…)
Virgin blood appears to be what's required for whatever it was Kemo promised his mother at the beginning, and it's not long before the unfortunate Virginia is stripped, stabbed, chopped up (quite a nasty scene, in an implied way) and lobbed into the barbecue pit. I think you can probably work out what happens next. "Mama-lu!"
The film finishes with Hawkins exclaiming: "This is the most preposterous thing I have ever heard!" (he's not far from the truth - especially the tree segment, anyway) before the thing is resolved in a typically unsatisfactory way.
Tales… is actually not as bad as you might remember it - the tree segment is bloody awful (although strangely entertaining), but despite the ridiculous notion of a haunted bicycle, Uncle Albert's story is quite well done, and Mr Tiger has a gory enough ending to make it worthwhile sitting through. The major problem is the voodoo story - it's painfully obvious what's going to happen, but it takes so long getting there that any shocks ar rendered pretty useless.
Luckily, as with most anthologies, nothing lasts too long. Apart from Hawkins' sentences.

Chronicles of Nikhil Baliga
The preachings of Swami Gulagulaananda, Baba Gyani Triviani and Swami Nikhilaananda
Of Goodness, Pragmatism and Reciprocity
Baba Gyani Triviani said:
"In Bangalore city, the general public is like the Joker. They work very hard to bring the White Knight down to their level"
Just the other day, I was reading an interesting article about reciprocity. Apparently, the maxim "One good turn deserves another" is imbibed into our culture very deeply, so deeply that we remember good turns done to us and return favours invariably, if not immediately then over time. A good demonstration of this can be seen in the experiment by a well known psychologist whose assistant got twice as much money for raffle tickets when he got the people some coca-cola to drink (as a good gesture), than those who didn't get coca-cola - and people who didn't like him but got coke also paid double of those who liked him but didn't get coke. Amazing, isn't it? The author goes on to say that reciprocity works everywhere.
But I don't think this theory works all the time at all. In fact, a couple of days back, I was driving past an intersection near my office. This junction doesn't have traffic lights but desperately needs one. During peak office hours in the morning, there is the presence of some constabulary that seems to prevent congestion. But evenings have a different tale to tell. The vehicles seemed to be randomly placed in that junction, each one pointing in arbitrary directions. By the time I reached the junction, I was flustered seeing this sight and decided to be the bigger person, you know, the one who waits patiently for the morons to settle it. There was a large Tempo Traveller next to me who also decided to be the bigger person. So the two of us decided to wait. Pretty soon, the traffic decongestion began somehow (Bangalore traffic works somehow)
We decided to give it a few minutes and pretty soon the traffic in the road perpendicular to ours started moving freely (Both B and D) while we (A and C) waited patiently. We expected that the vehicles on that road will stop after some time to let the vehicles in our lane to move - That never happened. Instead, when our turn came, A started moving but D moved past their line and came till A's line, meaning we were stuck. And when the number of vehicles in A started waning, B started and we couldn't do much because D had blocked us and now B came in front of us... We were being good, and we got nothing in return. This happened for quite some time - we were stuck.
Notice that I am not new to Bangalore. So I know how crappy traffic can get. I was just seeing how well this so called "Reciprocity Theory" works. Apparently it doesn't. Apparently, people in Bangalore don't really care or are not even able to see that I was doing a good deed, that it was their turn to return it. Rather, they must be guffawing thinking "What a bunch of morons waiting there" Eventually our patience started wearing thin and both the Tempo Traveller and I started ploughing through, creating a path for those behind us. To summarise, you cannot rely on people's goodness. you have to rely on yourself (Which is sad). Or maybe, the reciprocity theory works where people are handled individually. When there is a large mob, a different theory works.
However, there is an important lesson for all of us to learn - Expecting others to be good to us because we are good is like expecting a lion to not eat you because you are a vegetarian. This is an old saying, but it is a true one. In fact, there is a nice little story
A long time ago, a great sage was walking through a forest when he came across a cobra. The cobra raised its hood and said "Oh great sage, tell me how I should lead my life" The sage replied "No matter what you do, don't hurt others." The cobra nodded in agreement and led a good life. A few days later, the sage who was walking back through the same forest met the same cobra, who looked battered and bruised. "Oh great sage. You had asked me to not hurt others. However, when the village people see me, they hit me with sticks and pelted stones at me. And I, having promised not to hurt others, simply had to escape to save my life." The sage smiled and said "I asked you not to hurt others... I didn't ask you not to hiss"
As you can see, a gentle and kindly posture is often taken advantage of. There is another saying "People always dig where the earth is the softest" Similarly there is no dearth of people who take advantage of goodness and kindness. It's therefore vital to at least have a posture of one who doesn't seem like one who can be taken advantage of.
Emperor Ashoka, after having witnessed the aftermath of the carnage at Kalinga, not only took an oath to be a peaceful monarch but also switched to Buddhism (from Jainism) in a bid to project peace. However, the emperor was an emperor and not a small king. He had an empire that stretched from Afghanistan all the way across till Myanmar, and all the way south. Such a vast empire could not be ruled by an emperor who said peace and eliminated his army, for isn't it logical that army is used for killing? True, but the emperor continued to maintain a large army for self defence. Just because he was peaceful, he didn't expect the enemy kings to not wage war.
To summarise, we have to remember to be good and kind, but not be naive and believe in reciprocity. For we should learn to be pragmatic. It's good to believe in idealism, but vital to know the realities of the world.
Mob Psychology
Experience Observation Story
Swami Gulagulaananda said:
"The higher the moving parts, the higher the chance of failure. Unless you have a process set up"
Startled by the shrill sound of my digital alarm, I groped around to hit the snooze button. I thought I had explicitly turned it off, but I was mistaken. Sleep had eluded me for the past few weeks due to the murder case that had kept me awake through several nights at a stretch, and having finally solved it, these few winks of sleep that I had been having were well deserved. As I groggily waved my arms into the darkness trying to reach my clock, I realised by the alternate shimmering of the screen, that it was my phone that had been ringing. Through my heavy eyelids, I tried to concentrate on the name on the screen - It was the Police Commissioner.
The sight of that label jolted me upright. I immediately grabbed the phone and answered it. "I'm sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night, Surya, but there has been a development. How soon ca…
The Unchivalrous Traveller
"Fight injustice... And not (arm)chair fights"
The metro train slowly came to rest and the doors opened. Passengers alighted and others boarded. The doors slid shut. The train wasn't particularly crowded, but none of the newly boarded commuters got a seat. The train had started gaining speed. The construction worker next to me looked out of place in a train full of middle-class. He clutched his hard hat tighter as he looked around uncomfortably.
Looking at him feeling slightly out of place, a rather rotund woman waddled up to him, and demanded a seat. The poor worker sheepishly proceeded to stand up. I caught his shoulder and pulled him down.
"The first coach is reserved for women. Why don't you go there?" I demanded. "It's common decency to be chivalrous and give up seats to women", she replied. "It's alright" smiled the worker as he stood up. I once again held his shoulder and pulled him back to his seat.…
The story of the Muslim boy, raised by a Hindu man
"To think such great people exist in this day and age... I must really salute you, Sir"
It was later than usual when he got up. The cold outside had made him feel so comfortable under the blanket he had snuggled and he hadn't even realised he had passed the time he used to wake up normally. He woke up with a start and looked at the clock. “Darn it!” he cursed, as he set about his morning routine. As he was locking the door of his hut, his neighhbour's wife called out to him. “Kishan bhaiya, how come you are still here at this time? Isn't it later than your usual time?”. Kishan looked at her with a wan smile as he covered his ears with the orange cloth that he had around his neck. “You know how the cold is, sister. Makes me feel so lazy. Ok, I am off now. Have a great day”.
A few minutes later, he had his neatly organised push cart fully set up in front of the mosque. As he was busy heating the milk with his kerosene stove, two men came …

Inside and Out — Josh Hovsha
Josh Hovsha, Executive Director of the Cape South African Jewish Board of Deputies
Writing on the Festival of Chanukah in his Legal Code ‘Mishneh Torah’ the great 11th-century Jewish leader Maimonides outlines the history of Seleucid Empire’s invasion of ancient Israel and the Maccabean revolt which sought to end Jewish persecution at their hands.
Maimonides explains that the Hasmoneans, “Saved the Jews from their [the oppressor’s] hand. They appointed a king from the priests, and sovereignty returned to Israel for more than 200 years, until the destruction of the Second Temple.” (Laws of Megillah and Chanukah Chapter 2). Two hundred years was all that was achieved. That was it. Two hundred years which ended nearly two thousand years ago.
It can feel detached from us. Even for Maimonides who lived at the halfway point between us and the Chanukah story this history must have felt far removed. Yet, writing more than a thousand years after the end of this era of sovereignty, Maimonides speaks about how much this time mattered.This brief time of self-determination in the long night of Jewish Exile matters, because symbols matter.
In the introduction to his new work ‘We Were Eight Years in Power’ the author Ta-Nehisi Coates explains “Symbols don’t just represent reality but can become tools to change it.” For Coates, symbols remind us of what is possible and allow us to effect change. The symbol which a society chooses to emphasis reflects much about that culture. Whose stories do we tell and whose do we leave out.
The period of the Maccabees might have ended a thousand years before the time of Maimonides and two thousand years before our own time, but it reminded us that Jewish people had the right to control their destinies like any other people. It is for this reason that the early Zionists were captivated by the stories of the Maccabees.
Historical imagination is a powerful tool indeed.
If you go into the Jacob Gitlin Library, you will find editions of this paper in its previous form dating back to the turn of the twentieth century and earlier. Those old publications are filled with life.
I often think of what the Chronicle must have meant to a small community of Jews disconnected from the lands which their parents and grandparents had known. To feel removed from their homes and histories and yet determined to record their own lives and Jewish connections.
This writing was a declaration that their lives and unique Jewish journeys.
We have recently been able to host the World Jewish Congress Directors Conference in Cape Town. A conference where Jewish leaders in diaspora communities throughout the world came together to collaborate.
Before all else we can delve into the symbolism here — World Jewry coming to the same centre where those early editions of the Chronicle are kept. The descendants of the communities left behind and so many others coming to see all that has been built here in Cape Town and simply being left breathless. We can be proud of what has been achieved in this community as we look to make our own impact in a country which needs us.

transmediale 2015: Why we need spaces for art and tech beyond corporate influence
Elvia Wilk | Wed Feb 18th, 2015 12:43 p.m.

True to its title, "Capture All," the program of this year's transmediale festival in Berlin was ambitiously panoramic, with such a marathon, round-the-clock schedule that by the last day a number of attendees had come down with the same cold. Separated into the thematic tracks of Work, Play, and Life, the events revolved around the quantification of everyday activities, mass data acquisition, algorithmic sorting of information about people and the planet, and the systems of power and control implicit in all of those processes—topics in which most of the festival's target audience is well-versed.
The majority of that audience is made up of academics, artists, cultural workers, technologists, and students. This year for the first time, tickets sold out completely; on opening night the 1,035-seater auditorium was over capacity, and throughout the five-day festival, waiting lines stretched around corners. Besides lectures and panels, the schedule included a steady stream of performances and screenings as well as ongoing workshops in the cacophonous foyer—from a six-hour workshop on feminist network methodology to four days of open meetings held by the unMonastery.
A 14-person exhibition, sharing the festival's title and curated by Daphne Dragona and Robert Sakrowski, showcased reflections on "the future of algorithmic work and life" with artists like Erica Scourti, whose video Body Scan compares images of her own body with those of a Google search algorithm, and Jennifer Lyn Morone (Inc), who created a corporation out of herself to advocate for compensation for her digital labor. Any exhibition with the keyword #algorithm is also an invitation for artists to reflect on exhibition-making itself as a potentially algorithmic process. Jonas Lund, who has long dissected and replicated the gamification of art practice, created a pre-recorded audio tour called FTFY (Fixed That For You) describing (imaginary) artworks with an algorithmic mashup of words and phrases from previous transmediale press texts. A guest exhibition down the hall, "Time and Motion: Redefining working life," produced by FACT Liverpool, shifted the emphasis onto quantified labor in the context of mass production and automatization.

Expanded Internet Art and the Informational Milieu
Ceci Moss | Thu Dec 19th, 2013 9:27 a.m.
Ben Aqua, NEVER LOG OFF, 2013 (Limited edition t-shirt designed for #FEELINGS)
We are no longer mostly dealing with information that is transmitted form a source to a receiver, but increasingly also with informational dynamics—that is with the relation between noise and signal, including fluctuations and microvariations, entropic emergences and negentropic emergences, positive feedback and chaotic processes. If there is an informational quality to contemporary culture, then it might be not so much because we exchange more information than before, or even because we buy, sell or copy informational commodities, but because cultural processes are taking on the attributes of information—they are increasingly grasped and conceived in terms of their informational dynamics.
- Tiziana Terranova, Network Culture: Politics for the Information Age
Post internet[1], post media [2], post media aesthetics[3], radicant art[4], dispersion[5], formatting[6], meme art[7], circulationism[8]—all recent terms to describe networked art that does not use the internet as its sole platform, but instead as a crucial nexus around which to research, transmit, assemble, and present data, online and offline. I think all of the writers advancing these terms share a sense that since the rise of mainstream internet culture and social media, art is more fluid, elastic, and dispersed. As Lauren Cornell astutely points out in the recent "Post Internet" roundtable for Frieze, terms are always placeholders for more complex ideas, and when successful, can instigate further, deeper conversation. Towards that end, I'd like to introduce another word to the list—expanded. Drawing from the definition of expansion as "the action or process of spreading out or unfolding; the state of being spread out or unfolded," I consider "expansion" not as an outward movement from a fixed entity, but rather, in light of data's dispersed nature, a continual becoming.[9] Expanded internet art is not viewed as hermetic, but instead as a continuously multiple element that exists within a distributed, networked system. In order to elaborate this term, and to take small steps towards thinking through the changing conditions for art production in the early 21st century, I will use Tiziana Terranova's notion of an "informational milieu" to describe the dynamic process of exchange among artist, artwork, and network.

A- Karst and chalk in Normandy
17 novembre 2007, par Joël Rodet
Karst and Chalk in Normandy : a geographical approach
Normandy is not very well known for the development of its underground voids, in spite of the fact that there are some very spectacular sites like the famous Etretat sea cliffs. However very few people appreciate that the elegant arches at this locality result from the karstic evolution of the chalk limestones in which they are formed.
Short history of the underground research
For a long time, the study of karst was limited to the surface forms, and these are relatively very poor. Research into the subterranean world of Normandy began very early [Deschesnes and the sinkholes of the Avre Basin, 1675 ; Dezallier d’Argenville, 1755 ; Guettard and the ’Dry Iton’ river, 1758] and continued up to the first world war [Leboullenger and the caves of Caumont, 1801 ; Passy, 1832, 1873 ; Father Cochet and the underground archaeology ; Marchand and the water microbiology, 1854 ; Luard, 1860 ; Fromage and the water resources of the River Robec, 1868 ; Meurdra, 1877 ; Lennier and the Havre region, 1891 ; Ferray and the water resources in Eastern Eure county, 1895 ; Houdry, 1900 ; Fortin and karst infillings, 1906 ; Coutil and the Andelys caves, 1910 ; Dollfus and underground water, 1925-1927], and from the start it included a wide range of science disciplines (geology, hydrology, biology, archaeology, etc.).
However the true birth of the Norman speleology can be attributed to Auguste Monton who in 1894, at the age of 19, completed the first cave survey in Les Andelys county (Eure) [Monton et al., 1991]. He organised the visit of Martel in 1906, and took the first underground photographs. It is for this reason that the caves of Normandy were already well-known when Martel studied them in his Nouveau Traité des Eaux Souterraines [1921], and later in his famous France Ignorée [1930]. Curiously, between the two world wars, little new underground research was undertaken, so that it is not until the development of popular caving in the nineteen sixties, that Norman endokarst becomes a focus of interest once more. Because the Lower Normandy caves are rare and small, exploration has been concentrated on the Lower Seine valley.
1- the Norman karst, relation to the regional geology
Normandy is a region in which the crystalline proterozoic Armorican Massif and the sedimentary Paris Basin meet (fig. 1). Since karst is limited to the carbonate rocks exposed to a temperate climate, the greater part of the Armorican region is not of interest here. This region comprises two fundamental geographic areas : the relicts of the Armorican Massif in the west, and the sedimentary plateaux of the Paris Basin in the east.
1.1- the Armorican Massif : testimonies of a relict-covering carbonate rock
Limestones are very rare in the Armorican Massif. However, in spite of this rarity there is a great variety of karst galleries.
Two regions hold research potential.
The first is the littoral plateau of Montmartin sur Mer (Manche), near Coutances, developed in the Visean limestones (Dinantian). A small lime kiln museum is a legacy of quarrying of limestones from ancient times. In these quarries, various small caves were explored, where parts of an ancient karst network were intercepted by the quarrying activity [Druet, 1972]. Unfortunately, urban expansion and the security necessities of the modern society are responsible for the destruction of main parts of this unique karst heritage.
The second main site is located near Saint Lô (Manche), on both banks of the River Vire, in La Meauffe [Juignet, 1961-1962]. At one time, there were quarries opened here in a Brioverian limestone remnant (Proterozoic), that cut through a karst network. Previously once the exploitation had finished uninhibited access was possible with many damages. Today this site is very degraded and is now being infilled by rubbish, even though a study of karst has never been undertaken.
The rarity of karst in the Armorican Massif is reinforced by the lack of studies of a marginal scientific domain, but original and extension of the studies on the Armorican craton. Certainly there have been other karst developments but they have not been mentioned by the very few local investigators.
1.2- The Paris Basin : the domaine of the limestone plateaux
The limestone plateaux of the Paris Basin are better known but this knowledge also reflects the greater interest of the regional research organisation. Two well defined areas can be identified in the region.
1.2.1- the Jurassic ’Campagnes’
As a result of the ancient activity of the University of Caen, research into the natural environment has been well developed in Lower Normandy. However, although a long-standing geological school working for various generations was based here, and despit the intense underground exploitation of building stones under the city, the karst research has been very limited here. Most of the recent discoveries result of the intervention of Upper Normandy researchers (River Aure sinkhole network, Ranville karst, etc.).
Three areas, can be differentiated from south to north, respectively :
the Campagne d’Alençon that includes the famous water karst system of Vingt-Hanaps [Doré et al., 1977]. Developed on the contact of the limestone strata where they ovelie the Armorican Massif, this system is drained by frequent sinkholes. The waters are derived from the Forest of Ecouves, to the springs of the Sourtoir, water-catchment to the Sémallé and Larré communities. The complexity of the karst in this area indicates that an interesting potential study could be undertaken here.
the Campagne d’Argentan about which nothing is known. This may be because there has been no research or possibly for other reason.
the Campagne de Caen-Bessin is the best known and the richest area. It is developed around the River Orne valley (Mondeville, Ranville, etc.), and further to the west, in the Bessin region.
Here the impressive karst system including the sinkholes of the River Aure is developped, extends for over 5 km. Here the visitor must be very careful because of the hydrological sensibility of the system to overflooding from the upper water’s basin, developed in the impermeable layers of the Armorican Massif (region of Caumont l’Eventé).
The system is also sensitive to the flood tide that limits exploration of the downstream part of the cave. These risks result from the very low elevation of the galleries. Because the only modern entrance is near the main sinkhole, exploration can be very dangerous.
Moreover, almost nothing has been published on this fascinating cave system.
1.2.2- The Cretaceous ’chalk lands’
Over recent decades the chalk lands have become the showcase of Normandy speleology. Previously, the chalk was not known to develop karst networks, but this vision has changed over the last thirty years with the publication of works by a few researchers [Rodet, 1992].
In fact, most of the caving and karstic research can be attributed to the activity of Upper Normandy researchers, since the end of the last world war, and more specifically since the nineteen sixties.
This movement is connected with sociological factors such as the establishment of the University of Rouen which was created during the nineteen sixties, and the University of Le Havre in the last twenty years.
The geographical origin of the research can be identified : the Caumont area has been studied by the Rouen caving associations, the Alabaster Coast and the Lower Seine valley (Villequier, Le Landin, Les Andelys, etc.), have been studied by Le Havre cavers, as well as cavers from Elbeuf (Orival, Freneuse, etc.). This aspect demonstrates the sociological behaviour that strongly characterises the regional community of cavers.
Karst regions can be defined by the geomorphological structures that intersect the plateaux, more specifically the seacliffs of the English Channel (Alabaster Coast) and the deep canyon of the Lower Seine valley (fig. 2).
the plateaux of the English Channel margin (Petit Caux or Talou county at east and the Pays de Caux at west),
the plateaux surrounding the Lower Seine valley (Pays de Caux and Norman Vexin on the right bank, Madrie, Roumois and Lieuvin on the left bank),
the plateaux of Southern Eure (Plateaux de l’Eure-Saint André, Pays d’Ouche and Plateau du Neubourg),
the hills of the Perche (Orne county).
The two first sectors are the birthplace of physical speleology in Normandy. The plateaux of the Southern Eure hold great potential for discovery because there are many impressive karst connections between river sinkholes and springs. However, the research stays too much difficult and limited. In spite of this the hills of the southern district of the Perche have shown, with considerable work by the CNEK during the nineteen ninties, an exceptional potential that has been weakly exploited because of its great distance from the larger cities and because of the rural way of life in this area.
2- The chalk karst, a Norman speciality ?
The first quality of the Norman karst is its development, for a large part, in the porous limestones of the Upper Cretaceous chalk (Cenomanian, Turonian, Senonian). The consequence is that normally the porosity, responsible for the dispersion of water into the carbonate structure, does not allow the development of karst, or the concentration of water. Despite a porosity over 40 % of the rock mass, karst is developed. The evidence is clear from the abundance of caves explored, surveyed, photographed and studied.
For a long time, this evidence was denied by many researchers, some of whom had an international reputation, but the evidence could be seen by thousands of tourists : including the impressive Trou à l’Homme cave dug into the well-known cape of the "Porte d’Aval", one of the natural arches at Etretat.
2.1- Chalk and karstification : a Norman model ?
The chalky limestone strata of the Normandy plateaux present a large variety of facies but the hydrological characteristics are very similar to one another because of the major role played by the porosity in the karst. The low regional elevation (under 300 m a.s.l.) and the lack of main tectonic features (with the exception of the eroded Bray anticlinale) limit this geomorphological expression beneath continuous weathering covering of several metres deep. This is sometimes reinforced by elements of pre-existing Tertiary strata that conceal the chalk beneath. In all this region, chalk is only visible in the sea cliffs of the English Channel, northwest of the region, and in the deep valley of the River Seine that cuts through Eastern Normandy, from SE to NW. These natural geological sections reveal a large number of karst phenomena, more specifically fossil entrances and springs. The input karst landforms (potholes, pipes, sinkholes, etc.) develop under the weathering cover and constitute the active front (cryptokarst) but they are not normally being visible.
Moreover, the development of many quarries in the overlaying beds or in the chalk bedrock make access more difficult.
Chalk is a limestone the porosity of which allows the development of a watertable. This aquifer is drained by hydrogeological linkages resulting in karstification of the limestone bedrock. The weak water gradient does not have direct impact on the drainage of this dual aquifer which develops in all carbonate areas, at various stages of evolution. A continental area can be identified where karstic networks represent long stability phases of the drainage conditions (terrestrial processes), and a coastal area can be identified where Quaternary sea-level variations have lead to destabilisation and breaks in the drainage conditions. It is under these ultimate influences that water could penetrate into a large area in the region following lower valleys like the River Seine, that exacerbated endokarstic organisations comparable to the development of a delta.
Spectacular underground piracies of epigenous rivers by karstic systems can also be seen developed from the sea coast (Veules, Vaurain, Yport, Bébec). Cryptokarst, hydrogeological links and underground collectors with exogenic infills are representative of a lower plateau karst system. The sea coastal influence is responsible for the exacerbated development of the output karst sector and the underground drainage that catches waters from valleys and dales.
2.2- The ’primokarst’ of the Perche country
The Perche county is a region famous for its varied landscape with hills covered by meadows and deep forests, opened by valleys with many rivers. Between the capital Mortagne-au-Perche and the main town Nogent-le-Rotrou, the upper valley of the River Huisne, tributary of the River Sarthe, extends into a large basin dominated in the north by the crest of the Perche cuesta. In this depression, some ridges appear, hollowed by rivers, in which a countless multitude of underground quarries where dug for agriculture or for building. These underground chalk quarries, in lower and middle Cenomanian limestones, have cut through surprising natural voids, completely infilled with clay.
Systematically, these voids are directed by vertical and subvertical joints and sometimes by the bedding (fig. 3). Voids without a leading joint do not exist.
There are weathering fronts located on the joint network, that selectively present a spectacular widening at the contact with an old watertable level.
These weathering fronts still function today but it is not demonstrated whether they are functioning as much as in the recent past.
Consequently the studied caves are not galleries enlarged by concentrated floods, but they are mainly vertical solution voids, opened in the bedrock by input water percolation.
This is why each explored part has to be excaved from the residual complex or ’rock-ghost’.
This was achieved mainly by anthropogenic action, sometimes by rupture of the insoluble residuum, evolving from an iso-weathered stage to an allo-weathered stage, with aeration and drying and packing down of the ’rock-ghost’.
In this last stage, the weathering front can trap insoluble elements from the upper part of the bedrock and sometimes from the surface.
If sufficient water begins to flood in the joint axis, that may organise a karstic drainage ; in this case it is possible to speak of an initial karst stage or ’primokarst’ [Rodet, 1996, 1999].
2.3- The chalky ’causses’ of the southern Eure country
Downstream in the Perche county, a regional water supply (the spring of many rivers : Sarthe, Orne, Touques, Guiel, Charentonne, Risle, Iton, Avre, Eure, Loir, etc.) established over the Perche Sands Formation (Upper Cenomanian), develop areas where these rivers lose part or all their water into sinkholes.
This mechanism is amplified by lateral facies change from a sandy-clay facies (Sables du Perche) to the Rouen Chalk (Upper Cenomanian white sandy facies).
The physical-chemical dye tracing experiments have shown karstic links with impressive springs, sometimes very far downstream from the sinkhole (up to 27 km in a straight line), with high minimum average speed (over 200 m/h).
Here an unpenetrable cave is known today because the sinkhole is infilled by insoluble sediments. However, this does not mean that galleries do not exist in the area.
2.4-Relict karst of the Lower Seine
The Lower Seine valley offers a large number of karst sites, with different geometry and morphology. Nevertheless, each one presents a same aspect : none is in accordance with its geomorphological context. In fact they are developments inherited from a different context. We can classify these karsts into two or three altitudinal groups on the valley sides.
The first group occurs at the top of the hill slope, i.e. various tens metres above the river level (Les Andelys, Freneuse, Orival, Moulineaux, Duclair, etc.).
The second group occupies a much lower position, ten to twenty metres above the river (Canteleu, Le Landin, Saint Arnoult, Caumont, etc.).
A last group occurs at the level of the modern valley floor (Gouy, Villequier, Radicatel, etc.). Those two last groups are, more or less, the same entity linked with the evolution of the great valley during the Late Pleistocene (estuary and river environments). By contrast, an important gap between the higher group and the second one is evident. In this first group most of the dismembered galleries are most difficult to place into their context.
This break might result from the different processes activing between these two significant karstic phases : between both, or this intervening phase was never karstified, or the evidence was destroyed by valley resizing that spared the topmost karst networks. This resizing could result of the introduction of the lower valley into the estuarine domain or/and of the capture of the Marne Basin, an ancient tributary of the River Meuse. In this way, two kinds of paleokarst can be distinguished :
the upper group, from Lower to Middle Pleistocene age, was deconnected by the river valley deepering and dismantled by the valley-side evolution. Here the galleries rather present a simple morphology, normally, with limited stepping.
the lower group was broadly developed under the influence of the altitude variations of the Upper Pleistocene, and should be considered as a littoral karst, with its complex organization with stepping and superimposed galleries. In such an evolving context Holocene karstification did not really occur and thus become evident through morphological retouches to older karst networks.
3- Karst and the coast
Normandy is a particular region in which the impressive spatial development of the karstic forms and system organisations formed under the influence of the Quaternary sea-level changes, can be seen.
3.1- Coastal development ; a Quaternary history
The Petites Dales cave (fig. 4), 1,3 km from the sea shoreline, is a major cave in Upper Normandy. Its 550 m of galleries represent specifically a large collector (2-3 m wide, 10 m high), that was completely infilled before it was opened by cavers. Its conduit size, the absence of stepping in the galleries, and the absence of a conduit confluence or diffluence in the upper part of the collector, and the absence of a by-pass gallery illustrating a destabilisation or a significant migration of the drainage axis, and the important elevation of the per ascensum digging ; together these features, all elements of terrestrial evolution, indicate a long stable period of water level and of the drainage conditions. Despite the proximity of this cave to the coastline border it was never influenced by littoral processes. It seems that drainage conditions were only modified by the Petites Dalles valley incision that alloved the water to flood away from the aquifer. This valley incision was only deepened as the coastline approached. Therefore it seems that the cave drainage was fossilised by the dale incising under the karst network base.
Caves developed under such conditions, are frequent in the Alabaster Coast region, demonstrating that they are not exceptional geomorphologically. In fact, it is possible to distinguish the ’littoral’, a geomorphological zone where the sea and the continent confront each other, and the ’littorallity’, a temporal concept of a conflict between marine and continental processes, that migrates in relatively space with the temporal evolution of the relative mean sea-level during the Quaternary. In this way, a continental cave can be seen on the coastline never retouched by the sea. It can also be seen far away from the modern coast, in the side of a deeply incised valley like the Lower Seine. There a karst network wholly subjected to Quaternary fluctuations of the sea-level. This is why it is very important to distinguish the present coastal zone from that influenced by previous Quaternary sea-level changes.
3.2- Seacliffs and karst
The Alabaster Coast zone is a specific region very similar to that of the Lower Seine. Nevertheless, it owes its form to the seacliff rempart that recedes during transgressions and fossilises under continental deposits during regressions and sea-level lowstands (Senneville sur Fécamp). Therefore palaeogalleries can be frequently observed perched at the top of seacliffs (Bruneval), whereas at the wallfoot ascending springs develop (Senneville sur Fécamp). Some drainage, established over impermeable horizons, remain hanging above the sea-level by the recession of the shore cliff (Antifer’s Cape) and its waters sometimes precipitate calcareous tufa (Bénouville).
Consequently, palaeodrainage, including in coastal erosion zones, are responsible for the development of spectacular landforms such as the Etretat arcs.
The chalk seacliffs result to a greater extent from continental processes rather than from marine abrasion. The marine abrasion is responsible for the mass evacuation of the unprotected active cliff-foot, and the verticality of the cliff results from the evacuation of collapse products. They also result from terrestrial, often karst waters, that infiltrates the bedrock and exploit the tension fissures, that are more specifically attacked by frost action. The coastline of the carbonate area of Normandy is under direct karst influence. During the Quaternary, three evolutionary stages can be distinguished :
1- the coastline is distant from the area concerned : the continental hydrological basins are extended and stable, drained by substantial karstic systems (Petites Dales cave),
2- the coastline approaches the area concerned : the extended continental basins are divided into littoral basins where dales incise.
3- the coastline reaches the area concerned : dales are fossilised and become disconnected. New karstic drainage develops under the plateau, without any evident relation to the landscape (karstic capture of hydrographical basins). The first stage totally fossilised palaeokarsts are exhumed by the shore cliff retreat.
3.3- Underground captures
One of the consequences of the transgressive periods is the modification of karstic processes into the chalky massif. These processes radically overturn the local drainage conditions, by modern (Yport) or ancient (Jambourg Dale at Etretat) capture mechanisms. These karstic axes predetermine the ways in which carving and the intense erosion of the sea cliffs by the coastal processes occur. The ’Pertes de l’Aure’ system (Calvados) seems to offer a better example of this process. This process does not only affect the chalk limestones, but also the Bajocian limestones of the Bessin district. According to previous researchers, the River Aure first flooded from the south (on the basal complex near Caumont l’Eventé) to the north as far as the town of Port en Bessin, passing by the ’Plaine de Port’ plateau, through the cuesta front sedimentary strata. In a second period, the Early Pleistocene tra nsgression of the ’Col du Contentin’ bay drove the development of the drainage to the western Veys Bay. Incision of the valley was aided by an old east-west fault that forced the river to change its course 90° to the west. The retreat of the shoreline in the Bessin district during transgressions, favoured by a more efficient hydraulic gradient brought about the karstic capture of the waters of the River Aure, near the bend where Bajocian layers outcropt. From then on the valley is drained by two different rivers. The Upper Aure, from Caumont l’Eventé, through Bayeux, disappears into many sinkholes, one of which, the ’Fosse Souci’ is the most spectacular, with a 9 m3/s flood input. It discharges on the shoreline, around Port en Bessin. Close to the last sinkhole, on the other side of a small pass, the Lower Aure river draines the impervious beds overlying the limestones, and flows towards the Veys Bay. During floods, all the sinkholes saturate and the Aure overflows into the lower valley. The different physico-chemical quality between the Upper Aure and the Lower Aure demonstrates that two different rivers drain the same valley.
3.4- Karst as a signal of the Quaternary shoreline evolution in the lower Seine valley
The plateaux of the Lower Seine limit the depth of incision of this great valley, between the confluence of the River Epte and the estuary in the English Channel. The Quaternary evolution is complex and recorded in the karst development. The upper part of the valley always was a river (terrestrial environment) when the downstream part, more or less important, was included in the estuary, or even marine during transgression, or a river environment during regression. This was dependent on global sea-level fluctuations. These changes resulted in large modifications of the hydrological base-level and in consequence of the karstic drainage. This study contributes to the chronological reconstruction of the Quaternary evolution in the Lower Seine.
In this way, the Caumont area, 120 km distant from the coastal zone along the River Seine, at an elevation of only 4 m, is under the direct influence of the tidal zone (fig. 6). The large underground network, known to exceed 7 km, includes a number of different conduits, with several connections, developed in a complex organisation scheme. This results from the adaptation of underground drainage to the various variations of the hydrological base-level rather than from the geomorphological variations of its hydrological basin. In fact, the considerable distance of this network from the sea-cliff erosion, protected the Caumont underground system, with its rich evidence of complex Quaternary evolution. This explains why the modern coastal zone, subjected to the erosional effect of a rejuvenated shore-line, does not provide such impressive karst examples (Cap Fagnet) like those at Caumont, which is protected by its upper estuarian location.
The chalk karst in Normandy can be characterised as follows :
1- the development of a dual aquifer, composed of karstic drainage responsible for the quality of waters, and of a phreatic water-table that results from the porous carbonate bedrock giving the quantity of the water resource.
2- the developement of a very dynamic but poorly known cryptokarst, under a thick weathering layer covered by exogenous deposits (loess, sand, etc.).
3- morphological evidence of different evolution steps of the karst, more specifically the ’primokarst’ with its ’rock-ghost’.
4- a low plateau position that prevents strong hydraulic gradients. Quality and quantity of the underground infillings demonstrate the operation of these weak processes.
5- a littoral location during the Quaternary, involving exacerbated development and the organisation of the output area, the ’karstic delta’, and also the fossilisation of underground networks that evolved into palaeokarsts.

(Above: Peter Graves talks it over with Bugsy "the Mutant" Alien; Below: Martian leader or mutant octopus? You decide.)
Horrendous Film Week continues with Invaders From Mars (1953) and Killers From Space (1954), two apocalyptic sci-fi thrillers that feature mutants.
Pronounced “mew-tantz.”
Bob Grant, an extremely crusty radio talk show host who dominated New York drive time for a couple of decades, used to call people he considered unsavory “mutants,” with the same exaggerated pronunciation. I always wondered where he got it from, and now I know.
Anyhoo, of these two “Invaders” is a better film technically, with good special effects and that newfangled thing called “color.”
And the chief Martian is just a head with tentacles, painted green, living in a bubble on a pedestal. The mutants are his henchmen.
When the Martian craft lands in a big sand pit, people start disappearing into it, only to reappear later as surly versions of their former selves, speaking in monotones and trying to sabotage the Free World.
Oh, and they have that thing in the back of the neck.
“Killers” stars a very young Peter Graves (who looks a great deal like my cousin Sam). He’s a scientist who gets kidnapped by the aliens, humanoids from the planet Alpha Delta whose sun burned out, forcing them to live in the dark and develop huge bulging eyes. They also wear ugly jumpsuits; it is not clear if the situation on Alpha Delta demanded such costumes, or it was what the wardrobe department had at hand.
Both films have a Cold War theme — in “Invaders,” like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” people are suddenly not what they seem. Your best friend could be a Commie - er, alien - and you’d never know it — until they march down Main Street in Anytown, U.S.A.
“Killers” presents a much more direct threat, and a cheerful view of the effects of nuclear explosions. (At the end, the cast watches the atomic coup de grace through a window. The shade obligingly blows about a bit to indicate the strength of the blast.)
We’ve got excellent mutants. A Martian leader who looks like a gilded octopus. Bulging eyes. Giant critters (in rear projection) chasing Peter Graves. Sack- suited FBI agents. Lots of pocket squares. Both are short. A terrific double feature.
Three coils.
Keeping It Irish
Ted Kennedy was a complicated guy, and certainly had his faults. But he kept things interesting.
My tribute, in the form of a J. Press sack suit and an old campaign button which I am very glad I held on to.
Blood Beasts, Bronson Canyon, and Babes
Spoiler! There is no girl in her underwear in this flick.
If there is a more photographed piece of real estate in moviedom than Bronson Canyon I'd like to know where it is. Roger Corman's team puts the famous cave to good use at the end of 1958's Night of the Blood Beast, when the brave scientists ignore the Cold War pleadings of the Blood Beast and get busy with the Molotov cocktails. (Molotov. Get it? Take that irony, you lousy Commie blood beast from space!)
An astronaut returns to earth in a thing the scientists insist on calling a "satellite," which I suppose it is, but really appears to be a large cigar tube.
He's dead, except he doesn't show any signs of being dead except just lying there, not saying anything. (It's not too different later, when the character returns to life.)
Hisd blood pressure is fine, but there's no respiration. And there's a big blobby thing in his blood eating all the regular red and white cells.
And then the power goes out and the scientists are stranded in the desert hills of...Florida.
Turns out there's a creature out there, and he's stuck a bunch of these little seahorse-looking critters into the astronaut.
Plus, in order for the creature to communicate with the earthlings, he is forced to adopt a strategy that ultimately proves unpopular — he rips the head off the senior scientist, the better to adopt human speech.
(Surely an advanced civilization that has been observing the Earth for hundreds of years would have developed the post card.)
There's a lot of Cold War guff about letting the monster explain itself, but not too much, and the gang get down to business when they burn the creature up at the famous Bronson Canyon cave.
The girl with the '80s hairdo realizes, too late, that the Blood Beast was hiding under the footbridge.
We're talking internal space seahorse infestation; slimy creature in desperate need of a manicure; girl sporting 1950s foreshadowing of the kind of hair style popular with coeds in the mid-'80s; interplanetary cigar tube; Bronson Canyon.
Pleasantly short at 62 minutes. Three coils.
Esquire Goes With Yoot
Well, darn.
I didn't make the final cut in Esquire's "Best-Dressed Real Man" contest.
A gaggle of callow youths did, including these two from New York.
Note that the first fellow has apparently grown a lot since he bought the suit. The second guy looks tremendously fussy, as if he arranges the paper clips in order of size and puts them in the proper compartment in his desk organizer next to the colored pencils which are sorted according to the spectrum, with the darkest colors on the left although maybe they could be set up by the color wheel which shows which colors complement which (but never ever match) and...
In fairness, it's hard to imagine Esquire giving the nod to a guy who buys most of his stuff at thrift shops.
The Cinema - All Hail the Ro-Mans
Phil Tucker's Robot Monster (1953) is a far better bad movie than Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space.
More bubbles, for one thing.
The plot, for what it's worth: A family is on a picnic and the little boy gets conked with something and has a dream. It's post-apocalypse America, and only seven humans are still alive: the professor, his wife, the daughter, a stray hunky guy, and the little boy. Plus two men in a space station, who don't really figure into it.
The villains are the Ro-Men, robot monsters from another galaxy (similar to the present membership of the Democratic National Committee). They are easily identifiable, sporting gorilla suits with fake metal helmets (and antennas). It is a somewhat improbable combination for a robot monster, but the bubble machine that doubles as a communication device (and occasional Death Ray) distracts from the sartorial oxymoron.
Long story short, the Ro-Man on earth falls in love with the daughter and the brave family vanquishes him. And then the kid comes to and, by golly, it was just a dream.
We're talking cute girl in tight sweater in the middle of the apocalypse. Ro-Man in gorilla suit and unconvincing helmet. Excellent bubble machine (listed in credits). Rabbit ear antennae, the better to communicate with outer space. (Take that, stupid Federal Communications Commission.) Short.
I award Robot Monster four coils for bubbles and an air of cheerful Cold War nonsense today's auteurs would do well to study.

Noburo Iguchi's Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead is not, strictly speaking, about toilets. There is an outhouse in the film, and it has dead people in it, but it's really incidental to the plot, which almost never gets in the way of the story.
Arisa Nakamura plays Megumi, a nice Japanese schoolgirl who knows some kung fu and is heartbroken over the suicide of her sister. She's with two girls and a dorky guy, plus a skeezy weirdo, and they are going camping, in the best, time-honored, "Stupid People in the Woods" manner.
One of the gals wants to eat a parasitic worm so she can be skinny and become a model. They find a worm in a trout which Megumi catches with a net.
Now here's where we have some problems. First of all, are there trout in Japan? Second — do they have big worms in them? Third, is it bcause they are wormy that they hang in space, waiting for a kung fu net-twirling Japanese kid to show up and catch them? Fourth — ever hear of cat and release?
I realized at this point in the film that the ol' suspension of disbelief was going to come in handy.
Anyhoo, as you might guess, there are zombies around, and in trying to get away from them the gang find a little village.
Ko (played by Yuki, or maybe it's the other way around), is feeling a little under the weather on account of the worm she ate, and she starts farting.
She poots her way to the outhouse, where, as is often the case in these isolated locations with a mad scientist in the barn and tapeworms in the trout, there are also zombies in — or under — the outhouse.
Iguchi keeps upping the ante, to the point where the film is utterly disgusting in every possible way.
But never tasteless.
We're talking the usual exploding heads and popping eyes. Visible farts. Visible farts with demons in them. Zombies walking on all fours, backwards, with demon parasites sticking out of their butts. White panties. Flying parasite queen, in blue sun dress and flowered panties. Two breasts. Eight gallons blood; four gallons assorted glop. One mad scientist, one toothless goober, one skeezy drug addict, one flying trout.
An outstanding piece of work, and short, too. Iguchi is an instant Immortal. Four coils, no doubt about it.
NFL week 15 and The Human Tornado
I'm not sure where I am, down some fairly substantial figure. I sat last week out, mostly because I forgot.
Seattle minus 6.5 at New York Giants. The Giants are horrible. They are. Face it. And Seattle's anything but.
Miami plus 3 at New England. I don't think the Pats will lose this game. I do think they will wait until the last second and win it by a point or two. If there was a way to win by one-tenth of a point Belichek would find it.
Carolina minus 10.5 vs. New York Jets. The Jets are horrible. Face it. They are. And Carolina's not perfect, but they are a damn sight better than the Jets.
This is great — picking against all three local teams.
Meanwhile, watch this clip from "The Human Tornado" and tell me the kung fu celebration at about 24 seconds in isn't the greatest of all time. Make a good end zone dance, come to think of it.

Zombitatious Ta-Tas
"Erotic (or Sexy) Nights of the Living Dead" (1980) is a zombie porno flick that dithers between being a zombie exploitation flick with some decent nekkidity and being a flat-out hardcore porno flick with some decent zombitation.
I think the jury's out.
Erotic...sort of
It's a slightly alarming flick, because the guy who gets the most action, John Wilson, played by Mark Shannon, looks like Keith Hernandez, the Mets first basemen in 1986.
There's a scene with two gals and Keith, er, mark, or John, or whatever, that is pornographic in every sense of the term.
And there are a couple more that get close.
Keith Hernandez, working toward erotic
Laura Gemser, star of innumerable Emanuelle with one"m" flicks, is the star of this, and gets nekkid, but not pornographically.
Just sleazily.
I think this scene would have been more erotic if Larry took his pants off
The plot is about Stupid White People who want to put a hotel on Cat Island, ignoring the fact that the place is crawling with zombies, plus Laura Gemser and her blind grandfather.
Heads, necks, and a penis roll. The de-penising of Keith Hern— er, John Wilson is quite revolting.
Not erotic at all
Also: Fun in the insane asylum. Aquatic zombies. Dramatic foreshadowing, leading to a solid if predictable denouement. A lovely mise-en-scene, which is French for long, lingering, and quite explicit shots of nekkid women doing things. With a champagne bottle, in one case. Hunky nekkid men, if you are watching in mixed company.
I give it two coils for not being one or the other.

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés
Dining date: 5/27/17
This was my third visit to Jose Andres’ Bazaar Meat with my last visit being over two years ago (when the restaurant first opened). I’ve been able to try a pretty wide variety of food items in my first two visits, from a couple different cuts of steaks to the lamb chops to the suckling pig. I was part of some larger party sizes for those meals, which really allowed us to try quite a bit of the menu. Some of the meats here tend to be very large portions, so it can be challenging to try a lot with a party of two. Given that, we decided to go with a tasting menu. The restaurant offers three tiers of tasting menus ($125, $185, $225) – we went with the middle tier for this meal.
Cotton Candy Foie Gras crispy amaranth
Ferran Adrià Olives, Modern & Traditional liquid green olive, gordal olives stuffed with piquillo pepper and anchovy
Bagels & Lox Cone dill cream cheese, salmon roe
Smoke & Ice Fresh Oysters apple wood-smoked oysters, apple mignonette
The Classic Tartare beef sirloin, savora mustard, egg yolk, hp sauce, anchovy, parker house rolls
Chef’s Selection of Cured Meats
“Beefsteak” Tomato tomato, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, cucumber, black olive, romaine leaves
Rosewood Texas Rib Eye wagyu/black angus spanish-style bone-in rib eye, oak-wood fired
Cauliflower Steak pine nuts, preserved lemon
Robuchon Potato Purée butter, butter, more butter, some potatoes
Grilled Asparagus romesco sauce
Setas al Ajillo button mushrooms, garlic, nasturtium
Desserts cream puffs, assorted tarts
I thoroughly enjoyed this meal, similar to past visits. The food is as strong as I remember. Given how varied the offerings are, it’s pretty impressive that the restaurant is able to maintain this quality. The dishes with a ‘molecular gastronomy’ flair, cotton candy foie gras and the olives, were whimsical and welcome starters. It was nice to be able to try some of the cured meats, including slivers of the jamon Iberico. The centerpiece was, of course, the ribeye from Rosewood, TX, a cross-breed of wagyu and Black Angus. This was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my first visit and it didn’t disappoint here. A 20oz portion was served as part of the tasting – the meat was tender, juicy, and with a strong beefy flavor. The sides were also very good – I loved the “Robuchon potatoes” but the asparagus and cauliflower helped to lighten things up a bit. Bazaar Meat is still one of my favorite steakhouses – I hope to return.

About: Winnipeg RCAF Bombers
An Entity of Type : sports team, from Named Graph : http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space : dbpedia.org
The Winnipeg RCAF Bombers were a Canadian football team during World War II. They lost the 30th Grey Cup and 31st Grey Cup games. In 1942, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers didn't have any competition for the regular season so they created their own competition. With an abundance of players available, the Blue Bombers split the players into two teams. The civilian men played for a team known simply as the Bombers and the servicemen played for the RCAF Flyers. A third team in the Winnipeg City League was the University of Manitoba Bisons who were a junior team.
The Winnipeg RCAF Bombers were a Canadian football team during World War II. They lost the 30th Grey Cup and 31st Grey Cup games. In 1942, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers didn't have any competition for the regular season so they created their own competition. With an abundance of players available, the Blue Bombers split the players into two teams. The civilian men played for a team known simply as the Bombers and the servicemen played for the RCAF Flyers. A third team in the Winnipeg City League was the University of Manitoba Bisons who were a junior team. Upon completion of the Winnipeg City League season, the teams were dissolved and a new combined team was formed for playoff competition. On November 4, 1942, the Winnipeg RCAF Bombers were created and 34 players were selected to the team. Of the 34 players, 16 players came from the Bombers, 15 players represented the RCAF Flyers and the remaining 3 players were Manitoba Bisons. As the RCAF & Bombers teams made up the majority of the team, it was decided to call the combined team the Winnipeg RCAF Bombers. In addition to creating a stronger team, the combined team served another purpose. The war efforts were the number one concern at the time and there was no guarantee that the servicemen would be available for the Grey Cup game. By forming a combined team, the Blue Bombers ensured that they would have a competitive team if some or all of the players got called into active military duty. The 1942 Winnipeg RCAF Bombers played their first game on November 7, 1942 against the Regina Navy football team. The RCAF Bombers won the game 13-6 and advanced to the Grey Cup. On December 5, 1942, the Toronto RCAF Hurricanes defeated the Winnipeg RCAF Bombers 8-5. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers kept the RCAF Bombers moniker for the 1943 season and they played in the Armed Services Rugby League with two other teams (Winnipeg United Services Combines & Regina All-Services Roughriders). The Winnipeg RCAF Bombers easily won the regular season as they went a perfect 6-0. The RCAF Bombers defeated the All-Services Roughriders in the two-game total-points series 12-0 and they advanced to the Grey Cup. On November 27, 1943, the Hamilton Flying Wildcats defeated the Winnipeg RCAF Bombers 23-14. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers officially suspended operations for the 1944 and when the team reorganized in 1945, they reverted to the name Winnipeg Blue Bombers. (en)

Capstone Partners Advises ecoATM in its Sale to Outerwall
San Diego, CA - Capstone Partners, a leading international investment banking firm, is pleased to announce that it acted as sole financial advisor to San Diego-based ecoATM Inc. in its $350 million sale to Outerwall Inc.

In addition, the demand for refurbished mobile phones continues to accelerate, due largely to growth in emerging markets.
"Outerwall is a great home for ecoATM, and we are excited to build upon our successful relationship to take the business to the next level," said Tom Tullie, chief executive officer of ecoATM. "We look forward to benefitting from Outerwall's resources and expertise to accelerate ecoATM's rollout and bring our innovative solutions to consumers nationwide."
Capstone’s team consisting of David Michaels, Managing Director and Head of Technology & Telecom, and Teak Murphy, Vice President, managed the transaction on behalf of ecoATM. “ecoATM has pioneered kiosk-based electronics device recycling and the diagnostic systems and e-commerce software platform they have developed is game changing,” said David Michaels. “Outerwall is ideally positioned to leverage its unique expertise operating kiosk-based businesses to accelerate the growth and maximize the profitability of ecoATM.”
"Having an experienced M&A advisor such as Capstone Partners on our team was invaluable to us. They really took the time to gain a deep understanding of the technology and operating metrics that drive our business and played a key role in helping us evaluate the strategic implications of this transaction. Capstone did a great job," added Tom Tullie, chief executive officer of ecoATM.

By Mark Pattison • Catholic News Service • Posted November 10, 2017
WASHINGTON (CNS) — A survey of more than 4,000 Catholic campus ministers and students at U.S. colleges, commissioned by the U.S. bishops’ Secretariat of Catholic Education, showed that both the ministers and the students generally like what’s happening in their campus ministry setting.
At the same time, campus ministers allude to areas that can be improved, while students acknowledge areas in faith and life where they struggle.
The survey, conducted by Vinea Research, was done to help identify how to strengthen campus ministry education and formation programs as well as “renew a national vision of campus ministry as a community of faith, evangelization and discipleship,” according to Vinea’s Hans Plate.
“For most faith-related activities, campus ministers feel they are receiving effective formation,” the survey results said. “Campus ministers feel better prepared for relational vs. organizational-related activities.”
Campus ministers feel they excel in accompanying people on their spiritual journey, facilitating an encounter with Jesus, providing effective pastoral care, discipling others in Christian living, discerning the needs of the campus community, and calling forth and coordinating its gifts.
They also said familiarity with other religious traditions, creating and managing budgets, navigating diocesan and other institutional structures are lower priorities that could benefit from additional training.
Of the 1,911 active campus ministers nationally identified, representing 816 campuses, 1,047 responded, a response rate of 57 percent. Survey results were released in October.
Campus ministers were put into four categories: office-based ministries most frequently found at Catholic colleges and schools with 5,000 or fewer students; Newman centers or Catholic centers; parish-based ministries; and missionary-style ministries. All of the latter three are more commonly found at four-year public universities and schools with at least 10,000 students.
In the survey, campus ministers said they most frequently participate in Mass, prayer with Scripture, spiritual reading and study, meditation/contemplation and journaling on a daily basis. Devotional prayer and Liturgy of the Hours also get plurality marks.
Of the 15 practices cited in the survey, missionary campus ministers — along the lines of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, or FOCUS — reported doing 12 of them more than did the other varieties of campus ministers, bringing up the rear only on service/work for justice.
Missionary ministers also tend to be younger — the average age is 25 compared to the 40s for the other kinds of campus ministers; two to three times less likely to be married; and majority female, although when priests, who make up 22 percent of all campus ministers are excluded, 60 percent of all lay campus ministers are women.
While campus ministers are quite satisfied with their relationships with students, they are not as satisfied with the level of participation by students.
Campus ministers reported that among personal activities, Bible study and reconciliation stand apart from other activities as contributing to students’ growth in faith. Mass, retreats, small groups and one-on-one mentoring are more significant than social events, catechesis and sacramental preparation, and men’s and women’s groups.
The more significant faith growth activities include leadership development plus those activities that more directly involve interacting with others. They cited leadership development, service trips, service work, evangelization and social justice activities.
Students, in a separate survey, reported weekly involvement in personal activities through campus ministry, with the most common being prayer with Scripture, Bible study, spiritual reading, devotional prayer and meditation and contemplation activities.
Weekly Mass is a regular part of most students’ lives, with 84 percent saying so. Nearly half are involved weekly with social events or small groups.
A majority of students do service or charitable work on at least a quarterly basis. Close to 40 percent are involved on a monthly basis in leadership development.
The student survey reached 3,336 students. Vinea’s Plate said the findings are “not statistically sound, since we do not know how many (surveys) were sent out.” They were distributed to the students by the campus ministers.
Still, “of the personal activities, the sacrament of reconciliation stands out as being both significant to growth” according to campus ministers and is “commonly practiced” by students, the survey noted.
“The value of the Mass to both parties in the research is evident. While many campus ministers see one-on-one mentoring as very significant to growth, relatively few students are doing this activity frequently,” it said.
Students reported personal struggles over three broad categories. In the area of self-orientation, they included self-worth, mental health, lack of purpose, gender identity, divorce and blended families, and how to pray.
In the category of faith beliefs, they included realizing the need for confession, belief in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, objective truth, and reconciling science and faith. In terms of social and moral issues, they reported living faithfully in “a hookup culture” and weighed in on such issues as pornography, abortion, racial and LGBT discrimination, sexual assault and the role of women in the church.
Pornography and mental health were the two areas where students said they were more likely to struggle a great deal. While a lower percentage of students mentioned porn, the overall percentage of those who said they struggled a great deal with it was 27 percent, highest of any issue. Male students struggle more with porn, while women struggle more in the broad categories of faith beliefs and self-orientation.
Among students, concern is greatest with caring for the poor and immigrants, racial tensions and pro-life issues.
“Hispanics were concerned ‘a great deal’ with the disparity of wealth, racial tensions, and solidarity with the poor (compared to) non-Hispanics. Pro-life issues was the only concern where Hispanics were less concerned ‘a great deal’ than non-Hispanics,” the survey said. Hispanics, about 11 percent of all respondents, reported being more concerned with racial discrimination. A slightly higher percentage also selected as areas of personal struggle abortion and confusion about gender identity.
“In most every area of struggle measured, self-described liberal Catholics are more likely to struggle than their traditional counterparts — not only in predictable social topics and areas of teaching, but also in internal areas such as self-worth,” the survey said. “Only pornography and, to a lesser extent, divorce/blended families do not vary by Catholic designation.”
Students who identified as liberal Catholics had a greater deal of concern than their moderate and traditional counterparts on issues such as solidarity with the poor, care for immigrants and refugees, racial tensions, disparity of wealth, LGBT issues and the role of women in the church, while traditional Catholics voiced more concern on pro-life issues and the definition of marriage than their liberal and moderate fellow students.
“Moderate Catholics fall between liberal and traditional Catholics, but they do so much closer to traditional Catholics in all issues,” the survey said. “This is most pronounced in solidarity with the poor and LGBT issues.”
A three-day conference to interpret survey results was conducted in October. Ultimately, the research findings are expected to lead to development of a new curriculum of formation, preparation and ongoing professional development for campus ministers.
PREVIOUS: Tax reform bill called ‘unacceptable,’ some provisions ‘unconscionable’
NEXT: Speakers prompt young adults to help heal injustices and sin of racism
JWDT says:
Catholics (including the Clergy) are more concerned with Social issues than Moral Issues.. if a person loses their eternal Soul because they are more dedicated to Social Justice concerns/issues instead of their own sanctity, that is the Travesty. When will the Clery i.e. Bishops & Priest lead the way for those to follow?

Yesterday’s announcement of Comcast/NBCU buying Time Warner Cable was a monumental announcement as it consolidates more of the cable portion of the Multiple Video Programming Delivery services (MVPDs) that includes mostly cable and satellite delivery services. Instead of Charter moving up the list of cable MSOs, Comcast will now be clearly number one if the deal is approved by government officials.
The implications of this acquisition are significant. First. it will allow the merged company to compete more effectively with its increasing number of competitors. In addition to the satellite delivered services (DISH and Direct TV), nontraditional services such as Hulu and Netflix are becoming more competitive “Over the Top” video programming options to subscribing to local cable systems as sources for video programming. Poignantly on the same day as this deal is announced, Netflix announced that they have obtained the rights to a Star Wars animated series.
Second, dealing with the video programming providers (both cable-satellite delivered networks and local television broadcasters) will also be affected as Comcast/NBCU owns several in both categories. Negotiations between the newly merged company and those providers not vertically integrated will be more involved and possibly leading to lower prices (or smaller increases in those prices over time).
Finally, while the cable systems of the newly merged company do not overlap, the combination of these two companies should make them more formidable in the local advertising marketplace. Already, local cable systems are becoming stronger competitors in the local advertising marketplace.
Nationally, BIA/Kelsey estimates that local cable systems have 5.3 percent of the local advertising revenues growing to 5.8 percent by 2017, growing by nearly $1.8 billion. Comcast already is very aggressive in developing local cable advertising, see Comcast Spotlight. Certainly, when dealing with national advertisers, the newly formed company can offer a wider reach than before. National advertisers focusing more on local media markets is an important trend for all local media to consider and will be explored in detail at the upcoming BIA/Kelsey conference, Leading in Local: the National Impact.
While all of these improvements to the newly merged company could occur, the proposed acquisition will face significant scrutiny in Washington. Concerns about too much concentration in program delivery and its impact on negotiations with program suppliers will be front and center when the FCC and Department of Justice looks at this deal.

Atheists against free will
Leftist-atheist-evolutionist Jerry Coyne writes in USA Today:
You may feel like you've made choices, but in reality your decision to read this piece, and whether to have eggs or pancakes, was determined long before you were aware of it — perhaps even before you woke up today. And your "will" had no part in that decision. So it is with all of our other choices: not one of them results from a free and conscious decision on our part. There is no freedom of choice, no free will. And those New Year's resolutions you made? You had no choice about making them, and you'll have no choice about whether you keep them.
The debate about free will, long the purview of philosophers alone, has been given new life by scientists, especially neuroscientists studying how the brain works. And what they're finding supports the idea that free will is a complete illusion.
He also brags that his fellow atheists agree with him. He says that atheist materialist philosophy requires physical determinism, and neuroscience research says we sometimes start making a decision a couple of seconds before we are consciously aware of it. (He says that brain scans show mental activity as much as seven seconds before a decision is completed.)
If this is depressing, Coyne assures us that there are two advantages to believing that we are mindless automatons; we have an increased appreciation for evolution and we gain empathy for all the other mindless automatons:
There's not much downside to abandoning the notion of free will. It's impossible, anyway, to act as though we don't have it: you'll pretend to choose your New Year's resolutions, and the laws of physics will determine whether you keep them. And there are two upsides. The first is realizing the great wonder and mystery of our evolved brains, and contemplating the notion that things like consciousness, free choice, and even the idea of "me" are but convincing illusions fashioned by natural selection. Further, by losing free will we gain empathy, for we realize that in the end all of us, whether Bernie Madoffs or Nelson Mandelas, are victims of circumstance — of the genes we're bequeathed and the environments we encounter. With that under our belts, we can go about building a kinder world.
No thanks. Those are not advantages to me. But ignoring the moral, religious, and psychological issues, my concern here is whether there is really proof of physical determination. It is a strange assumption considering that the overwhelming consensus among physicists is that the world is not deterministic. They say that probabilities are essential to quantum mechanics. Those probabilities do not necessarily settle the free will question; see the Free will theorem for a discussion.
Einstein did not believe in either quantum mechanics or free will. He was a determinist. Most physicists say that he was proved wrong.
I accept quantum mechanics, but I deny that it requires either a probabilistic or determinist view. It says nothing about free will. I think that it disproves Coyne's argument that a scientific worldview requires denying free will. Quantum mechanics is our most fundamental physical theory, and it does not require the sort of determinism that Coyne describes.
Update: Coyne now complains about new proposed laws about the teaching of evolution, because he sees them as a threat to his view of evolutionary science.

Forgettable Alamo
I don't watch college football much, but tonight a buddy of mine was trying to listen to the Michigan bowl game from the Philippines. I put it on my computer to give him updates while his audio stream was screwing up.
So there are 2 seconds left, Michigan is down by 4, and they start with a pass to several laterals. 8 lateral passes later, there is a fumble. But the play isn't dead... it's a fumble. Michigan recovers, but 50 (or whatever) Nebraska players rush the field. MI is forced to readjust their play, there is no whistle, and they finally get tackled at the 15 yard line. Game over.
Not one whistle, no nothing. The refs just ran out of the stadium. The entire game was apparently called poorly (though I only saw the tail end of their inept job), so I understand their swift exit.
How can 50 players run out onto a field during a live play with no whistle? Only the refs can tell you. Huzzah Alamo Bowl.

Ashanti Gibbons by Paloma Pernica
This is the second of four shoots that I did with the Make-up artists at the MAC store. The make-up for this one was done by Paloma, who has recently joined the team. The model is Ashanti Gibbons. Just like Kira in the first shoot and also Jessica in the one that will follow shortly, I scouted Ashanti at the Evolution fashion show rehearsals

Kira Doran - Make up by Marcia Adiutori
This is the first of four shoots that I will be posting from a shoot I did with the Make-up artists at the MAC store.
The shoot was discussed last summer when I was visiting MAC on a regular basis. Marcia came up with the idea of having a little party one night after work. It was a great idea, we had wine and nibbles and each MUA's had to come up with their own creative make up concept, which I then got to shoot. I stayed off the wine for as long as I could resist.
Alex Anderson - Make Up By Serena Brangman
This is the fifth and final Beauty shoot from the series that I did in collaboration with Make-up Artist Serena Brangman. Alex was chosen for obvious reasons, firstly she is a very good friend of Serena and more importantly one of Bermuda's most experienced models. By the time it came to shoot Alex we had been at the studio for about 6.5 hours, it was late and we were all tired and hungry and I was running out of creative inspiration. One of benefits of working with an experienced model like Alex, is that she knows how to pose, how to create interesting angles and how to model to the lighting setup, meaning I didn't have to direct or think too much at all. It didn't take very long before we had enough good shots from a variety of angles and were able to call a day.
Nea Pantry - Make Up By Serena Brangman
This is the fourth in the series of beauty shoots that I did with make up artist Serena Brangman. The model is Nea Pantry. I have been wanting to shoot with Nea since 2008 when we briefly shot at a group event with multiple models and photographers. However, Nea was has been off island a lot away at college and my summers have been booked by the time she has returned. I was pleased to hear that Serena had chosen her as one of the models.
Yuki Hoshina - Make Up By Serena Brangman
This is the third of the beauty shoots that I did in collaboration with Make up artist Serena Brangman. As mentioned in previous posts Serena wanted a mix of ethnicities and Yuki was chosen obviously for her Asian features.
Sherall Seymour - Make Up By Serena Brangman
This shoot with Sherall is the second of a series of five Beauty shoots that I did in collaboration with Serena Brangman.
Serena wanted the five models to differ in ethnicity and skin tone. Sherall was chosen for her dark skin tones and Indian mix. I had shot Sherall last year and once I'd shown Serena those pics we agreed that she was the perfect choice. Obviously being gorgeous was also a key factor LOL.
Sophie Adams - Make Up By Serena Brangman
Last week Serena Brangman and I collaborated on a series of beauty shoots. Serena was looking to add some more beauty images to her portfolio and as the NFL season is drawing to a close, it was time for me to get off the couch and start shooting again. We shot 5 models during a 7 hour session.
The first model is Sophie Adams. Serena was looking for a variety of skin colours and ethnicity. I suggested we use Sophie for the "white" girl.
