Misfit Kid-Hellway to High. North Carolina's Mark Ivantich is Misfit Kid, a name he takes from a 1980 Cars song. He doesn't take his sound from The Cars, though - instead this 7-track EP/mini-album is a more Posies-like affair. "Right Where You Oughta Be" reminds me of one of Ken Stringfellow's moody opuses while "Sugar & Spice (She's Just a Girl)" calls to mind one of Jon Auer's peppier power pop numbers. "Stronger" is another barnburner and "Training Wheels (For My Heart)" might just be the best track on the disc, a languid midtempo tune with a warm chorus. All in all, a strong solo debut from the former frontman of Gravity's Pull, a 90s band that had some success on the East Coast.

The Flowerthief-Without a Safety Net. This is the second album for The Flowerthief, a San Diego band that specializes in tuneful indie pop not unlike The Minus 5. After the contemplative "Lonely Man's Paradise", the disc kicks into high gear with the uber-catchy "Just a Minute" and the folky pop of "Late". Other standouts include the McCartneyesque piano pop of "Gioconda Smile", the Lennonesque "Favourite Pill", and the straight-up power pop of "June Gloom". An eclectic yet accessible release for this band who pulls off their high-wire act.

Model UN Wraps Up an Undefeated 2010-2011 Season
The IVC Model United Nations team has won awards at every conference attended this past academic year. The team gained yet another victory at the beginning of April for representing Paraguay and Vietnam at MUN Far West in San Francisco. Competing with over 600 Model United Nations students from three community colleges and forty seven universities worldwide, IVC MUN provided fierce competition and won two of the most prestigious awards at the conference. Professor Stewart Frame is the primary faculty advisor for the Model United Nations program.
IVC Political Science student wins HTCC Conference award
Suzanne Campbell won third place and a $50 award for her poster presentation entitled, "The Drug Trade and Governance in Afghanistan, Mexico, and Columbia."
Her paper used the Failed State Index to examine how the drug trade has created poverty and instability in Colombia, Afghanistan and Mexico. The HTCC Student Research Conference, which is designed to showcase the work of students enrolled in honors courses, was held at UC Irvine, on March 26, 2011. Professor Traci Fahimi was the faculty mentor for Ms. Campbell.
Political Science Faculty Attend Spring 2011 Conferences
Professor Joon Kil attended the Southwestern Political Science Association conference in Las Vegas, in March 2011, where he participated in a session on "teaching circles". In this collaborative imitative, faculty members from different disciplines who volunteer for the program go to one another's lectures and share feedback on teaching strategies and styles. Professor Kil plans to introduce a similar program for Social Sciences faculty at IVC. Also in March, Professor Traci Fahimi attended the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges Discipline Input Group (DIG) meeting in Irvine, where she worked with political science faculty from other colleges and the Cal States to develop common course descriptors for comparative politics and international relations courses and to identify the course content for a political science "Transfer Model Curriculum".

3 DAY QUILLCAYHUANCA - COJUP TREK
More off the beaten track for a memorable trek to experience the panoramas and wildlife that these valleys offer.
This trek offers a different and exciting adventure to high altitudes trekking in eco-systems just packed with native wildlife like Andean antelope species, Vizcacha, Condor and much more, not to mention the snow-capped peaks, glistening colourful lake and valleys which all combine to make this a trek of superb beauty and adventure.
Huaraz / Quillcayhuanca gate (3,844m) / Cuchilla (4,550m)
Depart Huaraz to the Quillcayhuanca entrance (3,844m) of Huascarán National Park (15,5km / 1 hour). Our trek starts with almost no incline along the left side of the valley around the Quillcay River. Our views along this valley include waterfalls from both walls of the valley and the base of the snow-capped Andavite. After about 2 hours and 6.km, we pass the samll Pre-Inca enclosure of Nuevo Tambo. Reaching the fork in the Cayesh Valley, we follow the Tullpa Valley with a slight ascent to the Tullpacocha Lake at 4,300m, a lovely dark green colour. After a short rest, we follow the trail between some bushes and scrub and ascend with a winding track to the Cuchilla campsite (4,550m).
7 – 8 hours trek / 13.5 km / elevation change (+706m)
Cuchilla (4,550m) / Huapi Pass (5,075m) / Cojup Campsite (4,310m)
After our morning reenforcing meal, we ascend along the left side in a north-easterly direction. In single file via the grassy slope, we reach a small plain with an incredible view – after a short rest, we continue along the slope of mount Jatunmontepuncu (5,305m) until we reach the Huapi Pass at 5,075m and are rewarded with a breath-taking panorama of the white peaks among which we can recognise Ranrapalca (6,162m), Palcaraju (6,100m), Pucaranra (6,156m), Tullparaju (5,767m), Chopiraju (5,518m), San Juan (5,843m) and Huantsan (6,395m). Having taken our photos, we descend with a stony trail to the small plain of the Cojup Valley where the trail crosses a stream and we continue along the right side of the valley. Near the riverside, we set up camp for the night.
7 – 9 hours trek / 6 km / elevation change (+525m / –765m)
Cojup Campsite (4,310m) / Cojup gate (3,837m) / Huaraz
After our final packing, we leave our campsite to descend via the Cojup Valley where the remains of the 1950’s flood has left its mark on the valley. The trail passes through bushy/scrubby areas and then open areas until we cross the river to continue on the left side. Here we continue through meadow/prairie covered in vegetation below granite cliffs glittering with small waterfalls sliding down both massive walls of the valley. Finally we arrive at the entrance to the Cojup Valley (3,837m) and packing our kit into the vehicle for Huaraz.
4 – 5 hours trek / 9.5 km / elevation change (-473m)
In winter, equipment for snow trekking would be required for Huapi Pass.
Ice and snow trekking equipment is required for the crossing of at least one high altitude pass.

Power Rock: Swimming With Bears – “Don’t Think About It”
Swimming With Bears
“Don’t Think About It”
You want the new, fun, summer-time band? Well, jump in the musical waters of Swimming With Bears. With hooks galore, a sense of fun, and a knowledge of what power pop rock should sound like, Swimming With Bears is Joe Perry (lead vocals/bass), Alec Conte (guitar/vocals), Jon Kerr (guitar/vocals), and Ryan Hannasch (drums/vocals). This is fist pumping, head bobbing rock and roll. They give me that same rush that I felt when I heard the Ramones or Cheap Trick for the first time. Power Pop Rock lives and its name is Swimming With Bears. Oh. their video is so much fun, and they made the video themselves. This is so representative of their energy. And Joe Perry is one of those great lead singers.

The rich tradition of Avis Homes transcends a family generation and back to a time when a new home with 1 acre lot in Lake Forest cost $40,000.
When a handshake was a business agreement.
Michael Avis, Sr.
“It may seam unusual to place such trust with such a simple gesture, but that promise and pledge means that you’ll get Avis’s unwavering commitment. “
Our business has always started with the handshake; the welcome and the promise. Our desire to be an important and everlasting part of our clientele’s lives has remained steadfast.
Founded by Michael S. Avis Sr. in 1960, the company which bears his name has built hundreds of upscale homes and a dozen prestigious communities across the northern suburbs of Chicago and along the Gold Coast of Florida. These include exceptional homes in great neighborhoods among Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Lincolnshire, Libertyville, Highland Park, Riverwoods and Green Oaks to name a few. Our communities like Forest Creek in Libertyville, Forest Lake in Green Oaks, Westgate of Lincolnshire and Tierra del Mar in Boca Raton, proudly represent our vision. Linking all of these projects is a common thread: Unsurpassed quality, creatively inspired, meticulously built, but most importantly, they’re designed to stand the test of time.
Michael Avis Sr.’s legacy for customer commitment and honorable business practices will always be an inspiration to those he worked with.
1st home built in Lake Forest -1964.
Michael Avis, Jr.
After graduating from Vanderbilt University in 1987, Mike Avis Jr. was quickly allured into the family business. Heading to business school, a summer detour to work as a superintendent for Avis Development promptly lead to a change and his new and different career. His passion to build something became obvious. The excitement and challenge to develop land into neighborhoods inspired him. To this day, whether it’s new home construction or remodeling and renovations, creating a beautiful end product, and doing it well, is the ultimate reward.
For over 28 years, Mike Avis Jr. has worked the design and build side of Avis Homes. During the weekends he headed up the sales of new homes and hosted the weekend open houses. Balancing both the sales and building processes has proven monumental in creating long term relationships with his homeowners. “This allows me to get to know my clientele beyond the typical builder/customer relationship and that is what makes our business successful.”
Today, Mike Avis runs the family business with the same desire for quality over quantity which has served the company so well. This means when the great homes and neighborhoods of tomorrow are built, you will be certain the same dedication to excellence will always be there.

Tegel Leases Yet More New Plymouth Land
Tegel Foods LtdLtd (NZ Public 31%, US Public 23.3%, various overseas 37.3%, Singapore Public 8.4%) has consent to acquire a leasehold interest in 40.4505 hectares at Tikorangi Road East, Tikorangi, from Paul Gerard Bourke, Bernadette May Bourke and Clonlara 2004 Ltd as trustees of the Bourke Otararoa Trust (NZ 100%) for $46,030,500.
The OIO states that Tegel wishes to increase its chicken production and intends to build and operate a new breeder farm on the land. The transaction satisfied the s.16 criteria of the Overseas Investment Act 2005 (overseas investment in sensitive land), with "substantial and identifiable benefit to New Zealand" under s.17(2)(a)(i) - Jobs, s.17(2)(a)(iii) - increased export receipts, s.17(2)(a)(iv) - greater efficiency/productivity, s.17(2)(a)(vi) - increased processing of primary products, and Regulations 28(e) - previous investments and 28(j) - oversight and participation by New Zealanders.
For Tegel's ownership history, see also commentaries of February 2011, April 2010, December 2008 and October 1996; for land purchases and leases, see October 2017, November 2016, July 2016, August 2014, May 2013, September 2008, February 2008, March 2006, November 2000, September 2000.October 1999, April 1997 and June 1994.
In brief, it was bought out of Watties' ownership in 2006 by Australian investment company Pacific Equity Partners Pty Ltd for around $390 million, with various share-shuffling arrangements in 2008 to fund expansion. In 2011 it was taken over by Claris Investments Pte Ltd, a Singapore company ultimately owned by Affinity Equity Partners for $605 million. Affinity is one of Asian’s largest private equity firms, focusing on leveraged buyouts and growth capital transactions.
In December 2017, Tegel Group shares fell 10% following a drop in six-month profits despite sales up 2% to $302 million. Tegel highlights its growing share of the free range market, which is now 12% of all poultry sales (Jonathan Underhill, NBR, 6/12/17 www.nbr.co.nz/article/tegel-shares-drop-10-first-half-result-misses-estimates-b-210831). Tegel describes itself as an "iconic New Zealand heritage brand" - well, I guess the hens are still real Kiwis.

Canadian Engineers Take Over Malaysians Engineers
WSP NZ Acquisition Ltd (Canada Public 99.97%; other Canada 0.03%) has consent to acquire 100% of the ordinary shares in Opus International Consultants Ltd by way of a full takeover offer under the Takeovers Code, from Opus International Consultants (UEM Edgenta Berhad, Malaysia 61.2%; NZ Public and various, NZ 35.6%; Australian Public 1.5%; Philippines Public 1.3%; other shareholders 0.36%), for $263,235,184.
The OIO states that WSP NZ and Opus International Consultants are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of separate overseas publicly listed companies that provide engineering consulting services. This aims to combine the two companies' resources and expertise. WSP NZ has satisfied the OIO that the individuals who will control the investment have the relevant business experience and acumen and are of good character, and has demonstrated financial commitment to the investment.
WSP NZ's owner, Montreal-based property consultancy WSP Global Inc., offered $1.78/share for the whole of Opus International Consultants Ltd, then trading at 99c/share market, after it had secured agreement to buy out the Malaysian majority shareholder, UEM Edgenta Bhd. Opus trading was suspended on 11 December 2017 and, on 10 January 2018, Opus delisted from the NZX, leaving WSP NZ as the dominant owner.
Opus is a large, multi-disciplinary engineering firm with 3,000 staff across NZ, Australia, Canada, the US and Britain. Its NZ business goes back 20 years ago to Works Consultancy Services Ltd, which the NZ government sold to Malaysian government-controlled Kinta Kellas Ltd. See commentaries of August 2008 and August 1996.
It has 40 offices and 1800 staff in New Zealand, and has been involved in Christchurch reconstruction, restoring transport links to Kaikoura community, NZ Transport Agency's Northern Corridor improvements in Auckland, and water infrastructure in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington. Despite doing well in the NZ construction sector, the company overall was trading low after poor financial performances and disappointing offshore acquisitions.
WSP NZ Investment was registered on 10 August 2010, apparently for the purposes of the merger. WSP provides engineering designs and services mostly in the property, civil engineering, energy and environmental sectors, and has an Australian/NZ arm with offices in Auckland. This Canadian company bought the Parsons Brinckerhoff businesses in 2014 off UK construction and infrastructure group Balfour Beatty plc, who had bought it in 2009. The company was involved in London's Shard and New York's Freedom Tower.
Parsons Brinckerhoff NZ Ltd registered in NZ in 1998 and has been trading as WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff. The newly merged company, to be known here as WSP NZ, will focus on transport, water and buildings (Catherine Harris, Stuff, 14/8/17, https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/95748644/canadian-firm-makes-takeover-bid-for-nzs-opus-international ; The Bob Dey Property Report, 15/8/17, www.propbd.co.nz/wsp-secures-malaysian-stake-way-full-opus-takeover).

Canadian Govt Dairy Intensification Before New OIO Directive
Ramsay Dairy Farm Ltd (Canadian Government 100%) has consent to acquire approx. 335.1987 hectares at 803 Ardlui Road, Hororata, Canterbury; and approx. 72.225 hectares at Morgans Road, Hororata, Canterbury, from Haglea Farm Ltd (Gail and Harry Schat, NZ 100%) and Ddot Holdings Ltd (Jennifer Ann Todd, NZ 38.5%; Neal Peter Todd, NZ 38.25%; Mervyn George Todd, NZ 23.25%) for $17,700,000.
The OIO states that Ramsay Dairy Farm is ultimately, indirectly, owned by Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board. This is the acquisition of a medium sized dairy farm and a neighbouring dairy support block, to be amalgamated to create a larger dairy farm. Ramsay Dairy Farm proposes to convert some of the dairy support land to create a larger milking platform, and to support increasing the total number of cows by approx. 400 cows.
The benefits to New Zealand include:
the creation of additional jobs on the amalgamated dairy farm;
an increased volume of milk being processed in New Zealand;
increased export receipts; and
capital investment to convert dairy support land to dairying.
Ramsay Dairy Farm has previously undertaken investments that have been of benefit to New Zealand, including the creation of jobs and the introduction of additional investment for development purposes.
The Public Sector Pension Investment Board is one of Canada's biggest fund managers, handling the investments of public servants, the Mounties and the military, managing $C139.2 billion of assets (2016). The "ultimate, indirect" ownership path i Ramsay Farm (NZ reg. 2015)→ Green Meadows Farm (NZ reg. 2016)→ Global Herd NZ Ltd (NZ holding company, reg. 2014)→ Sooke Investments Inc. (Montreal, reg. 2011, which owns shares in Kaingaroa), which is a Government of Canada Federal Corporation , formerly known as 782175-Canada Inc.
In 2014 Canadians were reported by KPMG to be NZ's biggest source of foreign investment, with 22% of the total. That year the OIO approved PSP buying 18 commercial properties for about $1b and increasing its holding in Kaingaroa Timberlands (Tim Cronshaw, NZ Farmer, 16/1/18, https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/farming/agribusiness/100543602/canterbury-farm-sold-for-17m-to-canadian-government-approved-by-overseas-investment-office).
See November 2014 and September 2015 commentaries for other Ramsay Dairy Farm purchases, and April 2013 for details of this pension fund's original investment in the Kaingaroa Forest, increased in October 2014, and November 2014 for the Investment Fund's purchase of AMP's $1b property portfolio. Ddot is of course the Todd family backwards, each with heaps of other directorships and properties. NBR notes that this application got its consent just before Associate Finance Minister David Parker issued a new Directive (https://www.linz.govt.nz/sites/default/files/media/doc/oio_directive-letter_20171128.pdf) with a tighter interpretation of Overseas Investment Act criteria.
He said the previous Directive was "too loose", applying only to farms "more than ten times the average farm size", i.e. dairy farms over 1,987 ha and deer farms over 7,146 ha. (Rebecca Howard, NBR, 15/1/18, www.nbr.co.nz/article/canadas-public-sector-pension-board-gets-oio-approval-buy-177m-dairy-farm-and-block-b-211692). Yet Schedule 1 of the Act, as at May 2014, defines sensitive rural land as over five hectares, or close to seashore or lakes (together with adjoining land), and any island.

Matjila didn’t tell me about Ayo deal, More alleges
June 26, 2019 Written by Admin
The commision of inquiry into impropriety at the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) heard on Tuesday how the asset manager’s former chief executive, Dan Matjila, did not inform suspended acting CEO, Matshepo More of the R4.3-billion transaction between the PIC and Ayo Technology Solutions
More told the commission that she was left in the dark by Matjila prior to the transaction being signed.
The controversial Ayo deal was concluded in 2017 when the PIC took a 29% stake in the ICT company at R43 a share.
Ayo’s share price had fallen to R9 at the close of markets on Tuesday.
More was chief financial officer at the time of the transaction while Matjila was the CEO. She was placed on a precautionary suspension in March after being accused of interfering in the work of the commission chaired by Justice Lex Mpati.

Matjila resigned last November.
More told the Mpati commission she signed off on a “disbursement memo” on December 19 2017, signalling the availability of funds for the transaction. She said at the time the PIC’s main bank account had funds in excess of R5-billion.
She however denied that her signature on the document was for the approval of the transaction but that it was rather to “confirm the availability of funds”.

More said she signed the memo when it was first presented to her because she believed that it had already been approved through a “round robin” resolution by the asset manager’s portfolio management committee (PMC).
“This is because on December 15 2017, at 14:35, the office of the company secretary sent the members (including permanent invitees) of the PMC an email requesting them to peruse the documents and indicate whether they approved or not through a round robin resolution,” she said.
Mpati wanted to know whether More took action when she realised that Matjila had known about the transaction and had not informed her about it. More responded saying that she had not confronted Matjila about the deal despite being the second most senior executive at the PIC.
“I do agree with you that the non-disclosure on December 20, even the non-disclosure to myself signing the memo on December 19 was misrepresentation on the part of Dr Dan Matjila,” she testified.

Asked by Mpati how the PIC could avoid the flouting of investment procedure in the future, More suggested that the scope of assurance providers should be widened to ensure that all due diligence is followed before signing off on agreements.

I may finally be coming to terms with having become a "public figure" ... .
The role is an awkward fit, and sometimes an inconvenience -- particularly when I find myself in the checkout line at the Safeway supermarket on the way home from work and in uniform. The admiring glances stolen by young girls stiffens my spine a bit, and quickens my step through the aisles, but I'm not confused by the differences between respect for the flat hat and for the elderly woman under it. The National Park Service has earned its honors as "America's best idea," (a la Ken Burns). It's when the local PBS Channel has aired the documentary, "This is Us," for the umpteenth time the night before, and men and woman from my generation feel their spines stiffen in reflected glory of one of their own still being in the game ... and getting away with it after all these years ... then a different sort of effect pops up; equally complimentary. But at the end of the day, "celebrity" wears thin, and hunger pangs begin to take their toll on the old psyche as I try to decide what shape my pasta will take this day, and which spaghetti sauce -- and a new-found weariness creeps into my smile and it comes less easily as I begin to feel watched ... .
You can imagine the feeling last Wednesday as I stood before an interracial audience hosted by the African American Leadership Network of Safeway Stores at their corporate headquarters in Pleasanton. I'd been invited to be the speaker for their observance of Dr. King's birthday. As I was escorted to the Green Room in their grand auditorium, I learned that the day's presentation was being televised for the entire Safeway television (nationwide?) network, so that those who could not attend would have access to the hour-long program "On Demand" from the archives wherever they are and whenever they wished. Wow! What one earth did I have to say that should warrant such coverage? Surely it's time to pay closer attention to preparing my remarks, and to stop depending upon the power of memory. Did I not owe my hosts more than that? But since my improvised talks have always been enough, could I not be risking whatever success I'm experiencing by simply sharing my truths as I recall them -- and not becoming so self-conscious that something of value gets lost?
The experience was unsettling enough that -- as I was grandly escorted to the car laden with a huge bouquet of about two dozen long-stemmed yellow-red-tipped-petaled roses and two tickets to the new Tuskegee Airmen film, "Red Tails," I somehow failed to notice that their portable mike attached to my belt with the wire clipped to my lapel, was hidden under the armful of roses. This was not discovered until I was back at my desk 40 miles away in Richmond and a colleague called attention to my strange "jewelry." (It was returned in the morning.)
In February I will be guest speaker at IT&T Corporate Headquarters in San Ramon. Maybe by then I'll have come to terms with this public person I've gradually become ... but I don't believe we have time enough for that to happen. Maybe this is a case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Maybe it's a mistake to try to become who they think I am. That might be very difficult to accomplish at this late date. I'd need another lifetime to figure out just who that is.
It was the fifth Annual Day of Service in my Richmond community -- in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday ... .
I'd been invited by Doria Robinson, the director of Urban Tilth, the lead nonprofit on the Richmond Greenway project, to "say a few words" at today's ceremony.
Arrived early to find things in the usual chaos so typical of volunteer organizations, but it was friendly chaos of the kind that delivers positive outcomes rising from well-intentioned strangers coming together in a common cause. There were young people, children leading parents; elders lending advice when needed; members of the City Council led by the Mayor, the Vice Mayor; environmentalists sprinkled among members of uniformed National Park Rangers as well as Forestry Service folks.
I was struck by the fact that here was that future that Dr. King had sacrificed his life to bring about. We -- in one of the nation's working class under-employed and over-foreclosed cities where barred windows and protective fences are the common denominator -- we are living right smack in the middle of it!
The Greenway runs for about 2 miles along a long-abandoned railroad bed now developed into broad walks and bike paths where the community made up of several school sites nestled among modest low-income homes and showing hints of seeds bursting into a premature spring and (finally) maturity in some of the perennials from earlier plantings. The Greenway is blossoming with gardening projects of various kinds on land ceded by the city for the purpose.
There are flower gardens with ornamental plantings which need no excuse for being except the pure art of providing color and "spirit"; vegetable gardens that provide work for volunteers and free food for tables of anyone in need, and medicinal herbs introduced from older cultures. Today, about 400 folks from every age, race, and ethnicity joined in the effort by planting 60 donated fruit trees in the Edible Forest; planted hundreds of native plants, and built wooden boxes for raised beds -- necessary where soil remains contaminated from WWII war-related industries. And, I was invited to do the "first dig" in the soil for the planting of a mighty Legacy Oak Tree (expected to stand for at least 250 years) that will stand among them. What an honor! As an example of Civic Engagement (code words from the Park Ranger's Manual), this was priceless.
Richmond and communities like it across the country -- cities with challenges rarely experienced in the suburbs -- are most often depicted as "communities of need." Rarely are they viewed as living laboratories where diverse communities are in a constantly changing grand experiment -- testing the meaning and efficacy of "democracy" with newly-arrived immigrants adding the element of "hope" where it needs renewal for the disaffected, disenchanted, underprivileged and under-served who have found refuge here over many generations of struggle. You won't find members of the 1% here; the system is working just fine for them. It is in these communities that this system is tested and challenged and often found wanting. It is out of our discontent that change is born and generational adjustments are made.
Today I saw "Democracy" in all its glory actualize the King Dream of years ago. We did what every generation must do -- what nation's around the world are rising up at the risk of their lives to achieve -- we are re-creating democracy in our time. Every generation must do so. Ours is not presented to us on stone tablets nor handed down by powerful family dynasties. It is dynamic and must be critiqued and challenged constantly if we're to sustain the freedoms spelled out in our founding documents. It's messy and chaotic. There will always be false prophets, flat-earthers, disbelievers, but we will prevail despite their lack of faith in our institutions. You want neat? Then try a dictatorship.
Dr. King's greatest gift to this nation may have been his insistence -- through personal acts of civil disobedience -- that this was/is the highest form of patriotism.
Today's diggers and planters define who we are, not the crime stats we're constantly defined by. Those Marines who so horrifically desecrated the dead by their unspeakable acts no more represent me than do their counterparts in an earlier time define our white citizens of today; those who came in family groups with picnic baskets to celebrate the brutal lynchings of blacks in the deep South. Unfortunately, such unenlightened folks will always be with us. But it is we, and not they who define Democracy.
We're seeing the "rockets red glare" of that re-creation in the Occupy Movement. I truly believe that, and I'm beginning to worry that it is being derailed by those who don't recognize the signs nor understand the powers of our process of governance... .

Björk Concludes “Vulnicura” Tour By Baring Her Soul In The City Of Angels [PHOTOS] REVIEW+PHOTOS: Björk @ WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL 5/30/17
[twitter style=”horizontal” float=”left”]
[fbshare type=”button” width=”100″]

As a special addition to the L.A. Philharmonic’s Reykjavík Festival, the Walt Disney Concert Hall hosted the gloriously singular, Icelandic chanteuse Björk. Having spent the past two years touring around the world in support of her most recent album, 2015’s “Vulnicura”, Los Angeles had the distinct privilege of hosting one of Björk’s final “Vulnicura” performances.
Written and recorded following her break-up with Matthew Barney, “Vulnicura” had been heralded by many publications as being one of the best albums of 2015, with critics describing it as “the most heart-rending music she’s ever made” (Rolling Stone) filled with “harrowingly expressive compositions” (The Guardian) that are “brave, beautiful and affecting” (NME). On this very special evening in the City of Angeles, fans would be able to experience all of the foregoing.
The first act consisted of the first six songs from “Vulnicura”- performed in order- and was an emotional punch to the gut. Dressed all in black, it was as if Björk was attending her failed relationship’s wake, delivering a eulogy that presented an unflinching emotional outpouring for the room to see. Known for wearing gorgeously designed headdresses, the headdress she wore for the first half of the performance revealed most of her face, which gave the audience an opportunity to see Björk physically wrestle with the emotional gravitas that lay within each lyric.
The orchestration of each piece had been pared down to a lush string arrangement. Gone from this performance were the hyperactive synths and pulsing drums that Björk has perfected over her career. Rather, the music, like the lyrics, had been stripped down to it’s rawest form, adding yet another level of vulnerability to the already weighty subject matter. Each song was a magical moment, but the crescendo of emotions and intensity during the last three songs of the first act was certainly noticed by me.
During the performance of the gloriously dark, 10 minute “Black Lake”, I scanned the room with my binoculars and saw as many fans leaning forward from their seats with their mouths agape as I did wiping away tears. During Björk’s performance of “Family” (which was my second favorite moment of the evening, as I thought the stage production was brilliant), as she sang the lyrics “It will relieve us from the pain/ It will make us a part of/ This universe of solutions/ This place of solutions/ This location of solutions”, the house lights slowly pulsed into the crowd until the entire audience was faintly lit. It affirmed my notion that in that moment, and in this place, we were Björk’s “family”. Then, the tempo picked up with “NotGet”, as if breathing new life into the room- a moment of rebirth- which was visually signified in the subtle crafting of the headdress as the leaves that flowed at the side of her face began to glow in the dark with life.
The second act of the performance was- with the addition of two upright basses and Björk dressed in a free flowing, colorful ensemble- decidedly more light hearted and free. From a sonic perspective, perhaps adding more bass to her ensemble for the second half of the performance was Björk’s way of reassuring the audience and signifying that she was well on her way to returning to her pre-relationship state of being. Björk’s head was adorned with a sparkly, oversized butterfly design, and while it hid most of her face, exposing only her eyes and mouth, it was symbolic of the metamorphosis that she was undertaking on stage.
Some highlights from the second half included the performance of crowd favorites “Joga” (my personal favorite moment of the night) and “I’ve Seen It All”, each of which elicited some of the loudest cheers I’ve ever heard in the storied venue. Her performance of “Bachelorrette” had her playfully dancing around the stage during, snapping her fingers to the beat (which snaps, now that I think about it, were the only percussion in the whole evening). Björk then concluded the main part of her set going back to “Vulnicura” with performances of “Quicksand” and “Mouth Mantra”, completing the “Vulnicura” theme.
Encores were undeniable, and Björk performed “The Anchor Song” (a song about “home” that she sang through in both English and in her native tongue) and “Pluto”. During the encore, Björk addressed the crowd personally, thanking the Los Angeles based string ensemble and proudly introducing her fellow countryman, the conductor, Bjarni Frimann Bjarnason. Before walking off the stage for the last time, Björk added:
“This is emotional for me – it’s my last winter concert. I’m really happy I spent it with you guys.”
On behalf of all those in attendance, please rest assured that the feelings … the deeply personal feelings … were mutual.

Microblogs such as Twitter, Facebook, and Sina Weibo (China's equivalent of Twitter) are a remarkable linguistic resource. In contrast to content from edited genres such as newswire, microblogs contain discussions of virtually every topic by numerous individuals in different languages and dialects and in different styles. In this work, we show that some microblog users post “self-translated” messages targeting audiences who speak different languages, either by writing the same message in multiple languages or by retweeting translations of their original posts in a second language. We introduce a method for finding and extracting this naturally occurring parallel data. Identifying the parallel content requires solving an alignment problem, and we give an optimally efficient dynamic programming algorithm for this. Using our method, we extract nearly 3M Chinese–English parallel segments from Sina Weibo using a targeted crawl of Weibo users who post in multiple languages. Additionally, from a random sample of Twitter, we obtain substantial amounts of parallel data in multiple language pairs. Evaluation is performed by assessing the accuracy of our extraction approach relative to a manual annotation as well as in terms of utility as training data for a Chinese–English machine translation system. Relative to traditional parallel data resources, the automatically extracted parallel data yield substantial translation quality improvements in translating microblog text and modest improvements in translating edited news content.

A thin layer of SrTiO3 (STO) has successfully been used as a buffer layer to grow high-quality superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) thick films on polycrystalline metal substrates with a biaxially oriented MgO template produced by ion-beam-assisted deposition. Using this architecture, 1.5-μm-thick YBCO films with an in-plane mosaic spread in the range of 2.5° to 3.5° in full width at half-maximum and critical current density over 2 × 10 6A/cm2 in self-field at 75 K have routinely been achieved. It is interesting to note that the pulsed laser deposition growth conditions of SrTiO3 buffer layers, such as growth temperature and oxygen pressure, have strong effects on the superconducting properties of YBCO. Detailed studies using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to explore the microstructures of STO deposited at different conditions and to understand further their effects on the growth and properties of YBCO films.

Can we really use chemical properties of red-giant stars as age indicators?
Nadège Lagarde, A. C. Robin, C. Reylé
Journal: Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union / Volume 13 / Issue S334 / July 2017
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 August 2018, pp. 325-326
The cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency, Gaia, together with forthcoming complementary surveys (CoRoT, Kepler, K2, APOGEE and Gaia-ESO), will revolutionize our understanding of the formation and history of our Galaxy, providing accurate stellar masses, radii, ages, distances, as well as chemical properties for a very large sample of stars across different Galactic stellar populations. Using improved population synthesis approach and new stellar evolution models we attempt to evaluate the possibility to derive ages of clump stars from their chemical properties. A new version of the Besançon Galaxy models (BGM) is used in which new stellar evolutionary tracks are computed from the stellar evolution code STAREVOL. The effects of mixing on chemical composition of the stellar photosphere has a significant impact on the determined stellar age from the observed [C/N] ratio. We clearly show that transport processes occurring in red-giant stars should be taken into account in the determination of ages for future Galactic archaeology studies.
Study of the thick disc of the Milky Way from a population synthesis model
G. Nasello, A. C. Robin, C. Reylé, N. Lagarde
The thick disc is a major component of the Milky Way but its epoch of formation and characteristics are still not yet well constrained. The Besançon Galaxy Model (BGM, Robin et al. 2003) is a population synthesis model based on a scenario of formation and evolution of the Galaxy, a star formation history, and a set of stellar evolution models. Thanks to Lagarde et al. (2017), new evolutionary tracks have been introduced into the Besancon Galaxy Model (STAREVOL, Lagarde et al. 2012) to provide global asteroseismic and surface chemical properties along the evolutionary stages. This updated Galaxy model will allow us to constrain the thick disc structure and history using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo fitting method (MCMC). We show preliminary results applying this MCMC method on the 2MASS photometric survey.
The efficiency of the local health systems: investigating the roles of health administrations and health care providers

The analysis of efficiency in health care has largely focussed either on individual health care providers, or on sub-national health systems conceived as a unique decision-making unit. However, in hierarchically organized national health services, two separate entities are responsible for turning financial resources into services at the local level: health administrations and health care providers. Their separate roles and the one of health administrations in particular have not been explicitly considered in efficiency analysis. We applied stochastic frontier analysis to district-level panel data from Mozambique (2008-2011) to assess district efficiency in delivering outpatient care. We first assessed the efficiency of the whole district considered as an individual decision-making unit, and then we assessed separately the efficiency of health administrations and health care providers within the same district. We found that on average only 73% of the outpatient consultations deliverable using available inputs were realized, with large differences in performance across districts. Individual districts performed differently in administrative or health care delivery functions. On average, a reduction of administrative inefficiency by 10 percentage points, for a given expenditure would increase by 0.2% the volume of services delivered per thousand population per year. Identifying and targeting the specific drivers of administrative inefficiencies can contribute to increase service.
Models of red giants in the CoRoT asteroseismology fields combining asteroseismic and spectroscopic constraints
Lagarde Nadège
Journal: Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union / Volume 11 / Issue A29B / August 2015
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2016, pp. 525-528
The availability of asteroseismic constraints for a large sample of red-giant stars from the CoRoT and Kepler missions paves the way for various statistical studies of the seismic properties of stellar populations. We use a detailed spectroscopic study of 19 CoRoT red-giant stars (Morel et al. 2014) to compare theoretical stellar evolution models to observations of the open cluster NGC 6633 and field stars. This study is already published in Lagarde et al. (2015)
Docosahexaenoic acid, protectin synthesis: relevance against atherothrombogenesis
Michel Lagarde, Miao Liu, Evelyne Véricel, Catherine Calzada, Ping Chen, Fathi Driss, Michel Guichardant
Journal: Proceedings of the Nutrition Society / Volume 73 / Issue 2 / May 2014
DHA is an abundant nutrient from marine lipids: its specific biological effects have been investigated in human volunteers, taking into consideration the dose effects. We report herein that, at dosages below 1 g/d, DHA proved to be effective in lowering blood platelet function and exhibited an ‘antioxidant’ effect. However, this was no longer the case following 1·6 g/d, showing then a U-shape response. The antioxidant effect has been observed in platelets as well as LDL, of which the redox status is assumed to be crucial in their relationship with atherosclerosis. Second, the oxygenated products of DHA, especially protectins produced by lipoxygenases, have been considered for their potential to affect blood platelets and leucocytes. It is concluded that DHA is an interesting nutrient to reduce atherothrombogenesis, possibly through complementary mechanisms involving lipoxygenase products of DHA.

Journal: International Psychogeriatrics / Volume 26 / Issue 1 / January 2014
This exploratory study investigated the associations of individual characteristics of both persons with dementia and family caregivers with the nutritional status of caregivers.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at home by psychogerontologist within the frame of a community gerontological center in rural areas of south west France. The study participants comprised 56 community-dwelling persons with dementia (mean 80.7 years, SD 6.5) and 56 family caregivers (mean 70.9 years, SD 11.0). Persons with dementia were assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Basic Activities Of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental ADL (IADL), and NeuroPsychiatric Inventory (NPI), and family caregivers with the Burden Interview (Zarit scale), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI Y-B), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the emotional impact measure of NPI and the Autonomy, Gerontology and Group Resources scale (AGGIR scale). For both, nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®).
Among family caregivers, 32.1% were at risk of malnutrition and 5.4% were malnourished, and among people with dementia, 58.9% and 23.2%, respectively. NPI severity score of apathy of persons with dementia (Beta = −0.342, p = 0.001), dependency on AGGIR scale (Beta = −0.336, p = 0.002), and CES-D score of caregivers (Beta = −0.365, p = 0.001) were associated with caregivers’ MNA score (Adjusted R2 = 0.480, p < 0.001).
These preliminary findings emphasize the need for routine assessment of depressive symptoms, functional and nutritional status in dementia family caregivers, and confirm the value of investigating caregivers’ nutritional risk through an integrative view including psychosocial approach.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been associated with socioeconomic difficulties later in life. Little research in this area has been based on longitudinal and community studies.
To examine the relationship between childhood attention problems and socioeconomic status 18 years later.
Using a French community sample of 1103 youths followed from 1991 to 2009, we tested associations between childhood attention problems and socioeconomic status between ages 22 and 35 years, adjusting for potential childhood and family confounders.
Individuals with high levels of childhood attention problems were three times more likely to experience subsequent socioeconomic disadvantage than those with low levels of attention problems (odds ratio 3.44, 95% CI 1.72–6.92). This association remained statistically significant even after adjusting for childhood externalising problems, low family income, parental divorce and parental alcohol problems.
This longitudinal community-based study shows an association between childhood attention problems and socioeconomic disadvantage in adulthood. Taking into account ADHD and associated difficulties could help reduce the long-term socioeconomic burden of the disorder.
Bushes protect tortoises from lethal overheating in arid areas of Morocco
F. LAGARDE, T. LOUZIZI, T. SLIMANI, H. EL MOUDEN, K. BEN KADDOUR, S. MOULHERAT, X. BONNET
Journal: Environmental Conservation / Volume 39 / Issue 2 / June 2012
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 January 2012, pp. 172-182
Arid Mediterranean regions that shelter unique biodiversity are threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressures, such as urbanization, overgrazing and climate change. In Morocco, one of the main bush species in arid areas, the jujube (Ziziphus lotus), suffers from officially promoted programmes of removal. The Moorish tortoise (Testudo graeca soussensis) is threatened by such habitat loss. Like most animals, the Moorish tortoise must navigate between microhabitats to find essential feeding resources and thermal refuges. This study combined radio-tracking of free-ranging individuals, microhabitat temperature monitoring and transects in a range of habitats. Tortoises were found to depend on the occurrence of large and relatively abundant bushes to escape lethal overheating. Thus, (1) current official encouragements for the destruction of the jujube bushes should be reappraised; (2) habitat restoration relying on replanting jujube bush should be encouraged; and (3) large-scale monitoring of critical bush densities should be used to better organize conservation plans (protection and/or restoration of areas) for the Moorish tortoise.
9 - The Romanistic tradition: application of boilerplate clauses under French law
from PART 3 - The applicable law's effects on boilerplate clauses

Book: Boilerplate Clauses, International Commercial Contracts and the Applicable Law
Preliminary observations
Even in international matters, there is no such thing as ‘lawless contracts’ under French law, although it is perfectly admissible in international arbitrations to provide that the arbitral tribunal shall rule in ‘amiable composition’, which does not require the tribunal to apply a law except for fundamental rules of due process and international public policy. However, by virtue of the principle of contractual freedom, a contract governed by French law may also refer to other norms and customs, e.g., the trade practices of the shipping industry. The general observations contained in this chapter must therefore be adapted to the specific business norms and customs that may apply to a given contract according to the field of activity involved.
These general observations should also be qualified to take into account the general approach of French judges towards contracts. The Civil Code does contain a few rules of construction in Articles 1156–1164. One should, however, point out certain qualifications regarding their exact scope and effect:
– First of all, the French Supreme Court decided that these rules of interpretation are not mandatory.
This lack of mandatory character applies to all rules of interpretation, including the rule provided by Article 1162 of the Civil Code, according to which: ‘when in doubt a contract is interpreted against he who stipulated and in favour of he who contracted the obligation.’ This is the equivalent of the English law principle of contra proferentem.

Synchrotron UV Fluorescence Microscopy Uncovers New Probes in Cells and Tissues

Use of deep ultraviolet (DUV, below 350 nm) fluorescence opens up new possibilities in biology because it does not need external specific probes or labeling but instead allows use of the intrinsic fluorescence that exists for many biomolecules when excited in this wavelength range. Indeed, observation of label free biomolecules or active drugs ensures that the label will not modify the biolocalization or any of its properties. In the past, it has not been easy to accomplish DUV fluorescence imaging due to limited sources and to microscope optics. Two worlds were coexisting: the spectrofluorometric measurements with full spectrum information with DUV excitation, which lacked high-resolution localization, and the microscopic world with very good spatial resolution but poor spectral resolution for which the wavelength range was limited to 350 nm. To combine the advantages of both worlds, we have developed a DUV fluorescence microscope for cell biology coupled to a synchrotron beamline, providing fine tunable excitation from 180 to 600 nm and full spectrum acquired on each point of the image, to study DUV excited fluorescence emitted from nanovolumes directly inside live cells or tissue biopsies.
Dietary DHA: time course of tissue uptake and effects on cytokine secretion in mice

Consumption of DHA has numerous beneficial effects, but little is known about these effects during the first few days of the DHA dietary intake. The main objectives of the present study were to determine the time course of DHA incorporation into phospholipids in different mouse tissues and the effects of DHA supplementation on adiponectin and leptin secretion. Mice were fed either a control diet or a DHA-rich diet, and some were killed on days 0, 4, 8, 16 and 32. Some mice were fed the DHA-rich diet for 16 d, and were then maintained on the control diet for sixteen more days (washout period). DHA supplementation increased plasma adiponectin secretion by 2·4-fold as early as 4 d after the initiation of the DHA-rich diet feeding. The adiponectin concentration remained 1·6-fold higher after the 16 d washout period. Plasma leptin levels were significantly lower after 4 d of feeding with DHA. These effects were associated with a significant increase in DHA incorporation in phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine of all analysed tissues (liver, heart and white adipose tissues). DHA mainly got incorporated at the expense of n-6 arachidonic acid. The present data show that DHA rapidly improved the profile of secreted adipokines, and that these protective effects were long lasting.
First step to detect an extrasolar planet using differential interferometric observations – Perspectives for Dome C

Performed in November 2007, the observation of the hot Jupiter-like exoplanet Gliese 86b constituted the first attempt of exoplanet detection with MIDI, and also the first VLTI observation using AMBER and MIDI simultaneously. Fringes were obtained for both instruments with the aim to correct the interferometric phase in N-band from the wet dispersion using the fringes in K-band. In N-band, it appears that the theoretical interferometric phase would be a curved-like function with an amplitude of about 0.04°. According to the MIDI phase measurements of the calibrator HD 9362, we roughly estimate that a precision of about 0.33° is currently reached. The AMBER data, obtained in parallel, were too noisy for correcting the corresponding dispersion in N band, the correction accuracy standing at factor 10 above the detection. Dome C presents a very low absolute humidity level. In homogeneous humidity conditions, the curvature amplitude of the phase term due to water vapor, is also ten times smaller than the MIDI one, and may stand below the planetary phase signature. However differential humidity measurements would be required to completely validate the potential of this site.
Thermohaline mixing in stars : solving the long-standing 3He problem
Corinne Charbonnel, Nadège Lagarde
Journal: Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union / Volume 5 / Issue S268 / November 2009
Print publication: November 2009
Thermohaline mixing has been recently identified as the dominating process that governs the photospheric composition of low-mass bright giant stars (Charbonnel & Zahn 2007a). Here we present the predictions of stellar models computed with the code STAREVOL that takes into account this mechanism together with rotational mixing and atomic diffusion. We compare our theorical predictions with recent observations and discuss how the corresponding yields for 3He are compatible with the observed behaviour of this light element in our Galaxy.
Li survey in giant stars : probing non-standard stellar physics
N. Lagarde, C. Charbonnel, G. Jasniewicz, P. North, M. Shetrone, J. Hollek, V. V. Smith
Lithium has long been known to be a good tracer of non-standard mixing processes occurring in stellar interiors. Here we present the results of a large survey aimed at determining the surface Li abundance in a sample of about 800 giant (RGB and AGB) stars with accurate Hipparcos parallaxes. We compare the observed Li behaviour with that predicted by stellar models including rotation and thermohaline mixing.
Beryllium abundances along the evolutionary sequence of the open cluster IC 4651
Rodolfo Smiljanic, L. Pasquini, C. Charbonnel, N. Lagarde
The simultaneous investigation of Li and Be in stars is a powerful tool in the study of the evolutionary mixing processes. Here, we present beryllium abundances in stars along the whole evolutionary sequence of the open cluster IC 4651. This cluster has a metallicity of [Fe/H] = +0.11 and an age of 1.2 or 1.7 Gyr. Abundances have been determined from high-resolution, high signal-to-noise UVES spectra using spectrum synthesis and model atmospheres. Lithium abundances for the same stars were determined in a previous work. Confirming previous results, we find that the Li dip is also a Be dip. For post-main-sequence stars, the Be dilution starts earlier within the Hertzsprung gap than expected from classical predictions, as does the Li dilution. Theoretical hydrodynamical models are able to reproduce well all the observed features.

n-3 PUFA supplementation helps in the prevention or treatment of inflammatory diseases and CVD. However, many supplementations reported so far are either a combination of n-3 PUFA or used large daily amounts of n-3 PUFA dosages. The present study investigated the influence of increasing dose intake of DHA on the fatty acid composition of phospholipids in neutrophils and on their capability to produce leukotrienes (LT) B4 and B5in vitro. Twelve healthy volunteers were supplemented with increasing daily doses of DHA (200, 400, 800 and 1600 mg, each dose in TAG containing DHA as the only PUFA and for a 2-week period). At the end of each supplementation period, neutrophil fatty acid composition, and LTB4 and LTB5 production were determined by GC and liquid chromatography–tandem MS, respectively. The DHA/arachidonic acid ratio increased in a dose-dependent manner with respect to the increasing doses of DHA supplementation and was significantly different from baseline after supplementation with either 400, 800 or 1600 mg DHA. The LTB5/LTB4 ratio was significantly increased compared to baseline after supplementation with 800 and 1600 mg DHA. LTB5/LTB4 and DHA/arachidonic acid ratios were correlated (r 0·531, P < 0·0001). The present data suggest that both changes in neutrophil lipid composition and LT production occurred with daily supplementation with 800 and 1600 mg DHA. The clinical benefits associated with these doses of DHA in inflammatory diseases remain to be investigated.

Dietary intake of long-chain n-3 PUFA has been reported to decrease several markers of lymphocyte activation and modulate monocyte susceptibility to apoptosis. However, most human studies examined the combined effect of DHA and EPA using relatively high daily amounts of n-3 PUFA. The present study investigated the effects of increasing doses of DHA added to the regular diet of human healthy volunteers on lymphocyte response to tetradecanoylphorbol acetate plus ionomycin activation, and on monocyte apoptosis induced by oxidized LDL. Eight subjects were supplemented with increasing daily doses of DHA (200, 400, 800, 1600 mg) in a TAG form containing DHA as the only PUFA, for 2 weeks each dose. DHA intake dose-dependently increased the proportion of DHA in mononuclear cell phospholipids, the augmentation being significant after 400 mg DHA/d. The tetradecanoylphorbol acetate plus ionomycin-stimulated IL-2 mRNA level started to increase after ingestion of 400 mg DHA/d, with a maximum after 800 mg intake, and was positively correlated (P < 0·003) with DHA enrichment in cell phospholipids. The treatment of monocytes by oxidized LDL before DHA supplementation drastically reduced mitochondrial membrane potential as compared with native LDL treatment. Oxidized LDL apoptotic effect was significantly attenuated after 400 mg DHA/d and the protective effect was maintained throughout the experiment, although to a lesser extent at higher doses. The present results show that supplementation of the human diet with low DHA dosages improves lymphocyte activability. It also increases monocyte resistance to oxidized LDL-induced apoptosis, which may be beneficial in the prevention of atherosclerosis.
The perception-action interaction comes first

Journal: Behavioral and Brain Sciences / Volume 30 / Issue 2 / April 2007
Print publication: April 2007
Dijkerman & de Haan (D&dH) study perception and action as two independent processes. However, in all daily activities the processes are completely intertwined, so it is difficult to separate one from the other. Humans perceive in order to move and also move in order to perceive. Understanding first how perception and action are coordinated, leads us then to determine how each component works independently.

Controls on surface water quality in the River Clyde catchment, Scotland, UK, with particular reference to chromium and lead
J. M. Bearcock, P. L. Smedley, F. M. Fordyce, P. A. Everett, E. L. Ander
Journal: Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh / Volume 108 / Issue 2-3 / January 2019
Three collated geochemical surveys of surface water in the Clyde catchment have established the spatial variability in water composition, primarily under baseflow conditions. The waters are broadly pH-neutral to alkaline (maximum pH 8.7) in the lowlands, but mildly acidic in uplands on the catchment periphery. Electrical conductance is relatively high in lowland streams (maximum 8320μgL–1), with lower values in the uplands. Dissolved chromium (Cr; <0.05–971μgL–1) and lead (Pb; <0.05–19.4μgL–1) are of importance due to recognised pollution sources within the catchment. High aqueous Cr concentrations (>5μgL–1) are recorded in urban areas associated with the disposal of alkaline industrial chromite ore processing residue. Under such conditions, Cr probably occurs as Cr(VI). Numerous relatively high Pb values occur in the upland and urban areas. These are likely to be associated with a combination of soil reactions, diffuse pollution and contamination from Pb mineralisation/mining. Pb has a stronger correlation with water pH than with stream sediment Pb content, suggesting that pH has a greater control on Pb mobility than host-rock Pb. Exceedances of water-quality standards are <1% for both Cr and Pb across the catchment. Absolute exceedances are more extreme for Cr than for Pb, highlighting the scale of the Cr pollution problem for urban surface water within the catchment.

This paper presents new data on concentration factors (CFs: concentration kg-1 biota/concentration l-1 seawater) for several marine species-radionuclide pairs, in three regions: coastal waters of Ireland, eastern Irish Sea and coastal waters of Norway. The CFs were estimated using data from long-term monitoring programmes, obtained for radiological protection purposes. The practical constraints of using such data sources are discussed. CFs were obtained for a range of fin fish, crustaceans, molluscs and brown seaweed, for one or more of the following radionuclides: 99Tc, 137Cs, $^{239,240}$ Pu and 241Am. In general, there was a relatively high degree of variability in the values obtained, and it was not possible to discern systematic regional or time-dependent differences. However, for two datasets in the eastern Irish Sea (137Cs in winkles and crabs) and a number of datasets (137Cs in various species of fish) in the western Irish Sea there was a statistically significant increase in the CF over the monitoring periods. Significant gender differences were found for 99Tc in lobster. The results are compared with current IAEA recommendations and are discussed in relation to the influence of contemporaneous discharges and the possible impact of remobilised radionuclides on bioavailability.

Neutron scattering studies have indicated that the non-coordinated water at smectite surfaces has a similar mobility to that of bulk water, but that the water coordinated to the cations is immobile on the time scale of the neutron measurements. Thus hydrophylic polymers can readily displace the non-coordinated water and bind to the silicate surface, and to the exchangeable cations through a water-bridge mechanism. Poly(ethylene oxide) molecules with molecular weights up to 4000 appear to be bound to Na-montmorillonite in flattened conformations at the clay surface. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is extensively bound by Na-montmorillonite and by Na-Laponite (a synthetic hectorite-like clay); as binding progresses fewer molecule segments can contact the surface and so at the higher levels of adsorption extensive loops of polymer extend away from the silicate surface. Some polyanions provide good protection for smectites against flocculation with salt. The abilities of such polymers to protect the clays is dependent both on the extents of the charges and on the solution conformations which these polymers can assume.

Multiferroics are currently of great interest for applications in microelectronics namely in future data storage and spintronic devices. These materials couple simultaneously ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties and have potentially different applications resulting from the coupling between their dual order parameters. A true multiferroic material is single phase. However, the known true multiferroic materials possess insufficient coupling between the two phenomena or their magnetoelectric response occurs at temperatures too low to be useful in practical applications. But a tremendous progress in the field of microelectronics can be expected if one is able to design an effective multiferroic material with ideal coupling of the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties to suit a particular application. Within this context composite structures are gaining considerable interest and different strategies in terms of materials microstructure have been proposed including horizontal multilayers and vertical heterostructures. In the horizontal multilayer heterostructures, the alternating layers of conventional ferro/ferrimagnetic and ferroelectric phases are grown, while in the vertical heterostructures nanopillars of the ferro/ferrimagnetic phase are embedded in a ferroelectric matrix. The later structures show advantages over the first ones because promote larger interfacial surface area and are intrinsically heteroepitaxial in three dimensions; which is expected to allow a stronger coupling between ferroelectric and ferromagnetic components.
Grain Growth Anomaly in Ti-rich Strontium Titanate as Revealed by Electron Microscopy
L. Amaral, M. Fernandes, A. M. R. Senos, P. M. Vilarinho, M. P. Harmer
An anomaly in the dependence of the kinetics of grain growth on the temperature for strontium titanate (ST) ceramics is reported in this work. It consists of a decrease of the grain size with increasing sintering temperature. Recently, a drop in the grain boundary mobility of ST in the same temperature range was reported. These observations imply an unusual decrease of the grain size with the increase of the sintering temperature, in agreement with our present results. Although the mobility drop was related to structural changes in grain boundaries, the exact mechanism involved is still unknown. The understanding of this anomaly may offer an alternative way of controlling the microstructure and tuning the dielectric response of ST based compositions without the use of dopants. ST is characterized by high dielectric permittivity, high tunability and low dielectric losses, and is thus a particularly interesting material for capacitor or tunable microwave devices. These properties are very dependent on the stoichiometry, structure and microstructure, in which the role of grain boundaries is fundamentally important. Indeed, increasing attention has been paid to grain boundary structures and nonstoichiometry and to its relation with microstructure and electrical properties. Densification proceeds faster with decreasing Sr/Ti ratio (Ti-rich compositions). Sr-rich samples show narrow grain size distributions, while Ti excess favors enlarged grain size distributions and faceting of the grain boundaries.

The morphology control at the mesoscale, via the design of size, shape, surface, interface, porosity and patterning of the meso-components, has gained increasing attention in the recent past and is expected to endue materials with novel functions. Most reports on mesoporous materials are on amorphous silica or simple oxides with amorphous or polycrystalline framework. It is still quite challenging to achieve functional multi-metal-oxides possessing highly porous structure. On the other hand, the synthesis and characterization of nano-sized ferroics has recently become important since it was predicted a dependence, for instance of the ferroelectric response, on the size and morphology. Moreover, the combination of different materials at the nanoscale creating multifunctional nanocomposites, where new properties resulting from scale, interface and defect phenomena are expected, is a new field that requires exploitation. Crystal size, surface area, surface curvature, and charges on the surface singnificantly influence the physical properties of ferroics at the nano-scale. Within our studies of the porous ferroelectrics, we have prepared BaTiO3 crystals with nanoporosity inside with a sol-precipitation process involving polymer or surfactant micelles. In this work, we present the microscopic characterization of porous BaTiO3 derived from hard matrix.
Nanostructure Analysis of Sol-gel PZT Thin Films Derived from Different Chemical Routes
Aiying Wu, P. M. Vilarinho
Lead zirconate - lead titanate (PZT) materials are commercially important piezoelectric and ferroelectrics in a wide range of applications, such as data storage (dynamic access and ferroelectric random access memories) and sensing and actuating devices. PZT with the morphotropic phase boundary composition offers the highest piezoelectric response and at the present there are no fullydeveloped alternative materials to PZT. The importance of PZT associated with the continuous requirements of device miniaturization, imposes the development of high quality PZT thin films with optimized properties. Concomitantly due to the dependence of the final properties of thin films on the details of the microstructure a thoroughly analysis at the local scale of their microstructure is necessary. Sol-gel method, is one of the Chemical Solution Deposition techniques used to prepare oxide thin films, such as PZT. Starting from a solution, a solid network is progressively formed via inorganic polymerisation reactions. Most metal alkoxides used for sol-gel synthesis are highly reactive towards hydrolysis and condensation. Therefore their chemical reactivity has to be tailored via the chemical modification (or complexation) of metal alkoxides to avoid uncontrolled reactions and precipitation. For PZT sol gel thin film preparation, two chemical routes are frequently used depending on the nature of the molecular precursor, namely methotoxyethanol (MOE) route and diol-route.
Electron-microscopic observation of BaTiO3 prepared by additive assisted aqueous synthesis
F. Maxim, P. Ferreira, P. M. Vilarinho, A. Aimable, P. Bowen
Bulk barium titanate (BaTiO3) has found widespread applications especially in multi-layered ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and embedded decoupling capacitors (EDC). In the last years, the interest in one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured ferroelectric systems (nanotubes, nanowires, nanorods, nanobelts, nanofibers) is increasing. Recently theoretical studies reported an enhancement of ferroelectricity in 1D systems. Although the hydrothermal and aqueous synthesis of equiaxed barium titanate powders have been thoroughly investigated the growth of barium titanate anisotropic nanoparticles still less known. Indeed it is particularly dificult to modify the crystal habit by hydrothermal and related methods. However it is expected that the presence of some additives during the synthesis will change the growth kinetics.
Electrical and Microstructural Changes of β-PVDF under Different Processing Conditions by Scanning Force Microscopy

Poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has been widely investigated due to its important pyro- and piezoelectric properties. These properties have found various applications, especially as sensor and actuators. The existence and optimization of these properties is intimately related with the fraction of the polymer in the crystalline phase, its structure, microstructure and orientation. All of these in turn heavily depend on the processing conditions. PVDF is a semi-crystalline polymer which shows polymorphism and is commonly crystallized in non-polar crystalline α-phase. The piezo- and pyroelectric properties mainly depend on the β-phase, so that increasing β-phase content has always been of great concern in this field.
β-phase can be obtained by mechanical stretching of α-phase films at a given temperature or directly from solution. Conversion of α into β-phase takes place at stretching temperatures below 100 °C, at a stretch ratio of about 3–5. Nevertheless the achieved amount of β-phase in the crystalline fraction of the material is never 100%. In the films obtained from solution, 100% beta phase films can be achieved in either a porous or non-porous form. The degree of crystallinity is also larger for the samples obtained from solution.
This work is mainly devoted to the study of the variations in the topological morphology and piezoelectric domain response of PVDF prepared by the aforementioned methods by scanning force microscopy in a piezo-response mode.
Pulsed laser deposition of barium metaplumbate thin films for ferroelectric capacitors

Barium metaplumbate thin films were deposited in situ by pulsed laser deposition on Si/SiO2/Ti/Pt substrates with a high deposition rate. The temperatures used ranged between 400 °C and 700 °C. As the deposition temperature was increased, the films assumed a strong (222) preferential orientation. This orientation of the electrodes was reflected on the PZT films, having a very big influence on their ferroelectric behavior. The PZT films made over BPO deposited at high temperature presented high values of remanent polarization (43 μC/cm2) but indications of high leakage currents could be observed in the hysteresis loops. By using BPO bottom electrodes, a 30% improvement in the fatigue behavior of PZT capacitors when compared with the normal platinum electrodes was observed.
Properties of Nano-crystalline n-type Silicon Films Produced by Hot Wire Plasma Assisted Technique

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011, A7.6
In this work, we present the properties of n-type silicon films obtained by hot wire plasma assisted technique produced at different rf power and gas flow rate. The films were produced at a filament temperature of 2000°C and the rf power was varied from 0W to 200W while gas flow rate was varied from 15 to 100sccm keeping rf power at 50W. In this flow rate range, the growth rate of the films varied from 5Å/s to 250Å/s and the corresponding electrical room dark conductivity varied from 10−2 to 10(Ωcm)-1. On the other hand, we observed that the electrical conductivity increased from 2 to 6(Ωcm)-1, and the Hall mobility from 0.1 to 2cm2/V.s as rf power change from 0W to 200W. The infrared, EDS and XPS analyses revealed the existence of oxygen incorporation, which is not related to post-deposition oxidation. The X-ray diffraction and [.proportional]Raman data show the presence of Si crystals in the films structure and the SEM micrographs reveal a granular surface morphology with grain sizes lower than 60nm.
Dielectric Properties of Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)1−xMnxO3 Ceramics in the Temperature Range 200–600 K

The dielectric properties of Mn-doped Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)1−xMnxO3 (x = 0, 0.001, 0.003, and 0.005) in the temperature range 200–600 K were investigated. Two sets of dielectric peaks, located at 200–350 K and 350–600 K, were observed. The intensity of the dielectric permittivity and loss factor peaks for both relaxations decreased with the increase in the Mn content and no peak occurred when x = 0.005. Nonlinear current–voltage (I–V) behavior was observed in the samples containing less than 0.005Mn. The activation energy values for the relaxations at 200–350 K and at 350–600 K were around 0.42 and 0.56 eV, respectively. The direct current conduction activation energies were around 0.41 eV. Nitrogen annealing eliminated the relaxation peaks at 200–350 K while oxygen annealing enhanced them. Both annealings eliminated the dielectric peaks at 350–600 K. The nonlinear I–V characteristic tended to vanish either after the oxygen or the nitrogen annealing treatments. Relaxation mechanisms are proposed and discussed. It is suggested that the relaxation at 200–350 K is related to electron hole while the relaxation at 350–600 K is attributed to microstructure-dependent space-charge polarization.
Nanocrystalline Undoped Silicon Films Produce by Hot Wire Plasma Assisted Technique
Isabel M.M. Ferreira, Rodrigo F. P. Martins, Ana M. F. Cabrita, Elvira M. C. Fortunato, Paula Vilarinho
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011, A22.4
In this work, we show results concerning electro-optical properties, composition and morphology of nanocrystalline hydrogenated undoped silicon (nc-Si:H) films produced by hot wire plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition process (HWPA-CVD) and exhibiting a compact granular structure, as revealed by SEM micrographs. This was also inferred by infrared spectra, which does not present the SiO vibration band located at 1050-1200 cm-1, even when samples have long atmospheric exposition. The photoconductivity measured at room temperature also does not change when samples have a long time exposition to the air or to the light irradiation. The influence of hydrogen dilution on the properties of the films was also investigated.

Seeking opinion: Jeremy Mayfield innocent or guilty
One of the saddest stories in NASCAR is that of former driver Jeremy Mayfield.
At one time, Mayfield had it all. He was a golden boy who brought home six-figure paychecks each week. Today, he not only has lost his job, but his home has been foreclosed upon. He could even lose his freedom as he faces new drug charges.

It is all about illegal drugs. It is about NASCAR. It is about the justice system which is seemingly skewed in favor of those who can afford to win. It is about the secrecy, lawyers, confidentiality, and clout. It means that the general public should not take sides without knowing all the facts. And the facts are purposefully kept from the public, a practice I abhor.
There are clearly two sides to this story; neither of which is probably completely true. This is a case that reconciles my belief that truth is in the eye of the beholder. It illustrates another of my long subscribed beliefs; in our system of justice, there are no winners. Everybody who participates loses something.
There are times that we may never really learn the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Sometimes it comes out in the end; but often times the truth is never fully revealed.
Prior to May 2009, Jeremy Mayfield was a NASCAR driver; he won races. He was suspended by NASCAR indefinitely that year for failing a drug test. NASCAR claimed Mayfield was a methamphetamine user. Headlines screamed across the country about Mayfield's alleged substance abuse. NASCAR did away with him, allegedly, to protect the the other drivers, and of course the purity of the sport. Many other factors led up to this final action.
Yet Mayfield alleges that the drug test he failed was due to over-the-counter medication he was taking that produced a false test result. He sued NASCAR to get his job back and to set the record straight. He lost because he signed a waiver that precluded his ability to sue the sanctioning body. So, he planned to appeal.
In the latest twist, Mayfield has decided not to pursue the appeal. He says he didn't use illegal drugs. His wife Shana, remains by his side and continues to proclaim her husband's innocence.
Since the initial complaint, a series of other incidents have occurred; none of which put Mayfield in a positive light, while NASCAR came out of it smelling like a rose. Going back to my theory about no winners in the legal system, I can't help but be suspicious of such a one-sided outcome.
Either Jeremy Mayfield is a drug-crazed maniac that deserves to be removed from society much the way he was removed from the race track, or he is a victim--much like a government whistle-blower--someone who take on the most powerful and become a hero in the process.
Both scenarios could have merit. Let's face it, Mayfield was clearly the little guy--the David against Goliath. NASCAR is a fiefdom that rarely, if ever admits when it makes a mistake. Rarely does the media side with David. It is so much easier to take information from Goliath.
Even I have questioned some of NASCAR's actions, such as its imposing secret fines, its seemingly unfair rulings, inconsistent treatment of certain drivers, overall bias in race coverage, to name a few.
NASCAR is obsessed with its image and anything that negatively affects its bottom line, no matter what. NASCAR uses all its resources to head off bad publicity. Conversely, outlandish accusations made against NASCAR often come from eccentric fans who have little or no credibility, inspired by a less-than-desired outcome for their favorite driver in a given race.
But, imagine, what if NASCAR made a mistake in accusing Mayfield three years ago? What if all this time Mayfield has simply been trying to clear his name? Perhaps he thought he was doing the right thing, but NASCAR merely saw him as a threat to their brand. Is Mayfield a drug user and abuser or is he a victim of a powerful controlling force.
I admit--I have no answers--just questions. I'm not qualified to even take a side here because there is just too much speculation. I suppose time will tell, although I reiterate--time will likely not tell all.
This is just one example of why secrecy is so harmful. It leaves room--no it encourages--speculation. It hurts both sides.
I'd love to hear what others have to say about this case. Feel free to comment. Is Jeremy Mayfield innocent or guilty? What part has NASCAR played in Mayfield's troubles?

I think he was innocent of the drug use. I've known a lot of meth heads and dude just doesn't have the look! I'm not talking rotten teeth and sores or anything but theres just a look and once you know it you can always spot it. As for the stealing and stuff that followed, I think there was some misunderstanding about whose property was whose and NASCAR took full advantage of it to bring him down. I also suspect the drugs found were planted to seal his fate. NASCAR is a mafia of it's own so I don't doubt they are capable of anything.

Thanks for your opinion. I tend to lean that way myself.

Located in the north-western Adelaide suburb of Woodville. The Woodville Hall was opened on 12th April 1927, and screened films from the beginning, when it was leased from the council by the Clifford Theatres chain. The opening film was “We’re In the Navy Now” starring Wallace Beery. It was a two level hall, with seating in the orchestra on a level floor, and 596 seats in the balcony. By 1934, it was known as the Woodville Town Hall. Operated by the Clifford Theatres/Star Theatres chain until 1947, when they were taken over by the Greater Union Cinemas chain. The Star Theatre was closed on 9th November 1974.
In March 2011, there is talk of re-opening the building in the future, as an occasional cinema. The building is Heritage listed.

A great decision The Woodville Council made in making The Woodville Town Hall ….Heritage Listed….What a pity The Adelaide City Council…of long ago, didn’t make our Iconic Theatres…Heritage Listed!
The old Woody Pictures or Woody Flicks as my brother use to call it….was grand even to a 5-9yr old as i was, when my Parents would take my brother & i on a Friday night… in the 50’s,i still remember quite well, the Foyer with its Dk Brown leather couches, rich carpet leading up the stairs, beautiful Chandeliars….many Families all gathered in the Foyer…the Ticket Box on the right as you would walk in………. Saturday…..my brother who was 6yrs older than me had to have me tag along with him as we walked the 20min. something to the Woody Flicks, for an afternoon of ‘Flash Gordon’ or ‘Cowboys & Indians'or some film on Pirates. We would sit downstairs halfway & my brother’s friends would throw down Jaffas or money to buy more….what fun & memories i have of the rolling of Jaffas on the wooden Floorboards!

ER002
Dehalak Archipelago and offshore islands
Country/territory: Eritrea
IBA Criteria met: A1, A3, A4i (2001)
For more information about IBA criteria please click here
Area: 300,000 ha
Protection status:
The Dehalak Archipelago consists of a group of about 220 islands, ranging from minute to very large, lying in the Red Sea east of Massawa, from about 20 km to more than 100 km offshore. The islands vary from sandbars to complex ecosystems comparable to those on the nearby mainland, with complexity increasing with size and proximity to the shore. Most of the islands are composed of salt diapir, which consists of salt deposits 3 km deep, formed when the Red Sea almost totally dried out many aeons ago. These are now expanding as they get wet, and rising upwards; where they reach the photic zone (50 m below the sea surface) corals start to develop. As the deposits continue to rise into shallower waters, the corals die off and islands are formed as the deposits rise into the air or are forced up by periodic tectonic movements. The largest island, Dehalak Kebir, covers 64,500 ha and is the most complex ecologically, with three different levels of uplifted corals. Other islands are composed of Pleistocene limestones and marine sand deposits.
To the south there are other smaller groups of islands that are also included within the proposed IBA, although there are few specific bird records from these other groups. These are the continental islands just offshore and south of the Buri peninsula in Mersa Fatmah Bay, and a few offshore at Asseb, one of which, Senahor, is volcanic in origin. The areas of sea between the islands within these groups and between the main groups and the mainland (particularly the Massawa channel between the Dehalak Archipelago and Massawa) should probably also be included, although there are few specific bird records from these inter-island areas. Records from the immediate offshore islands, including Batsii (Massawa), Taulud and Sheik Said (Green) Islands are included in the Massawa Coast account (see ER005). More survey work will be required to determine the boundaries of one or more IBAs covering the areas of most importance to bird populations using the various groups of islands and the surrounding seas.
The majority of the islands consist of bare sand, some with exposed uplifted coral and very sparse scrub and grassland vegetation similar to that on the adjacent mainland (e.g. Acacia, Panicum, Sargassum and Euphorbia spp., with Suaeda, Statice, Atriplex and Zygophyllum spp. on low areas of saline sand). Some of the islands have areas of rocky cliffs, some have sand, pebble or mudflats and there are also large mangrove swamps (principally Avicennia marina, with some Rhizophora and Ceriops spp.) on some islands in the Dehalak and Asseb Bay groups. There is a tidal range of between 50–120 cm. Both day and night-time temperatures are high (40–50°C) and there is very high humidity, but only about six islands, all in the Dehalak archipelago, have surface fresh water. Almost all the 180–250 mm of rainfall falls between October and May.
Dehalak Kebir island was used as an Ethiopian military base against Eritrean rebels during the war. Apart from this, fishermen and people keeping goats inhabit a few islands. There is also some very low-key tourism (administered by the Ministries of Tourism and Fisheries) on Dehalak Kebir, based largely on the attractions of diving in the Red Sea and around the coral reefs.
Key biodiversity
See Box and Table 2 for key species. Most rocky islands with some cliff edges in the Dehalak Archipelago have several pairs of Falco naumanni. Larus leucophthalmus was said to be a ‘very common colonial breeding bird’, with maximum reported numbers of 1,393 adults, eight immatures and 227 young on 10 islands in 1962, and more recent observations which confirm this level of abundance (e.g. 200 adults on Harat Island in 2000) (Kahsai pers. comm.). Emberiza cineracea was ‘seen often on the [Dehalak] islands, provided they were rocky and had some vegetation, even far offshore’ in the 1990s (C. Hillman pers. comm.). Circus macrourus is also said to occur. The Sahara–Sindian (A02) biome species Falco concolor is recorded from only one other site in Eritrea and the Dehalak Archipelago is a stronghold for this species (the most recent records are from Harat Island). It breeds on several islands (more than 170 pairs have been recorded) and is said to feed almost entirely on Palearctic migrants. Three Sahel (A03) biome species are also recorded, including breeding Ardeotis arabs and Streptopelia roseogrisea (although this latter record is rejected by some authors; Hillman pers. comm.). One Sudan–Guinea Savanna (A04) biome species, Falco alopex, has been recorded from the Dehalak Archipelago, but was presumed to be a vagrant from the mainland. One Somali–Masai (A08) species, Ploceus galbula, also occurs on the Dehalak islands; see Table 2.
The Archipelago is famed for its seabird colonies: ‘the great colonies of breeding seabirds in summer’ recorded by Heuglin in the nineteenth century and commented on by Smith nearly 100 years later. The islands are also directly on the flyway for Palearctic migrant waterbirds and terrestrial species, which use them for feeding, rest and shelter in very large numbers (Hillman pers. comm.). There are very few data on numbers or movements, but it seems likely that, in addition to acting as staging-post for north–south migrations, the islands’ location, between Africa and the Arabian peninsula, makes them significant as an east–west stepping-stone between Africa and Asia. Most of the count data are from surveys in the 1960s. There is no reason to suppose that numbers should have declined since then and these counts will in most cases have been considerable underestimates of total population sizes since only a few (and generally the most accessible) islands were visited in each case. Most of the seabirds are reported as breeding in the hotter ‘summer’ months (from May to October), but other species (colonial waterbirds, raptors, passerines) have been found breeding in ‘winter’ (December to May) after or during the winter rains.
There are very large numbers of breeding and wintering gulls and terns. Both Larus leucophthalmus and L. hemprichii are recorded breeding on most of the Dehalak islands visited to date. Numbers of L. hemprichii probably exceed the IBA threshold for this species: in 1962, c.90 adults were counted on one island and the species was ‘common’ on other islands visited. In 2000, up to 300 adults were recorded on Harat island (Kahsai pers. comm.). Sterna bengalensis breeds in thousands, with ‘several thousand pulli’ reported in 1962 and a large colony of over 1,000 adults on Harat Island in 2000 (Kahsai pers. comm.). S. repressa is also ‘common’ breeding and S. anaethetus is reported almost certainly breeding in the Asseb islands as well as in the Dehalak group (a total of 950 birds recorded on the Dehalak islands in 1962). S. bergii was recorded breeding by Heuglin in the 1850s. Larus ridibundus overwinters and there are reports of ‘abundant’ Larus fuscus and ‘common’ Sterna caspia (both in March). Other species recorded breeding on the Dehalak islands in significant numbers (which may well exceed IBA thresholds with further survey work) include Phaethon aethereus (breeding and ‘fairly common offshore (post-breeding)’), Pelecanus rufescens, Sula leucogaster (breeding ‘in their hundreds on several taller coral ‘islands’ (including Harat, 50 adults) in late ‘summer) and Dromas ardeola (‘flocks of 20–30 on shorelines of all islands visited’ and ‘frequent on the shores of the islands’, with two known breeding colonies on two far offshore islands: Hillman pers. comm., Kahsai pers. comm.).
A variety of other waterbirds occur, in limited numbers, where there is suitable habitat. These include Egretta gularis, Ardea goliath, A. purpurea, Butorides striatus, Threskiornis aethiopicus (breeding), Platalea leucorodia and P. alba. Rynchops flavirostris occurs, as do a variety of Charadrius spp., Tringa spp. and other waders.
The islands also support very significant numbers of breeding Pandion haliaetus, with an estimated potential breeding population of more than 300 pairs (Fisher pers. comm.), and possibly into the thousands (Hillman pers. comm.). Other raptors recorded include ‘abundant’ wintering Milvus migrans (recorded both from the Dehalak islands and from the Massawa sea channel), Neophron percnopterus (on Nocra and Dehalak island groups), Circus aeruginosus, C. pygargus and (breeding) Falco peregrinus. Migrant passerines include Riparia riparia, Hirundo rustica and Motacilla flava.
Non-bird biodiversity: The waters off the Eritrean coastline and around the Dehalak archipelago support several hundred (and probably thousands) of fish species, many of which breed in and around the coral reefs. Some such as anchovies, sardines and tuna were, in the past, fished commercially and these and other species also form the food-supply for breeding seabirds, ospreys, etc. Five species of sea-turtle are recorded from Eritrean waters, including breeding Chelonia mydas (EN) and Eretmochelys imbricata (CR) in the Dehalak archipelago. Also reported from ‘the Eritrean coast’ (and hence probably within the proposed IBA), but with no information on location or numbers are Dugong dugon (VU) and ‘dolphins, porpoises and whales’. Smith reports small schools of Physeter macrocephalus roaming around the Dahlak Archipelago, ‘accompanied by vast flocks of seabirds’ and ‘disturbing the marine life’ (Smith 1953). Yalden et al. (1996) list Globicephala macrorhynchus (LR/cd), Delphinus delphis and Physeter catodon (VU) from Eritrean waters. Gazelles are reported from Dehalak Kebir and Nocra—dwarf Gazella soemmerringii (VU) of uncertain taxonomic status, probably hybrids of species introduced in earlier years. Reports in the literature of the presence of Oryx beisa on the Dehalak islands appear to have no foundation.

Medupi Unit 6 officially opened
Eskom’s Medupi Unit 6 has officially been opened by President Jacob Zuma on Sunday.
Eskom said, during this period unit 6 has been able to alleviate pressure on the national electricity system, helping to either avoid load shedding altogether or minimize its severity.
The unit will pump a much-needed 800 megawatts into the country's electricity supply.
President Zuma says the economy will benefit from the switch-on.
Meanwhile, Koeberg's Unit 2 will be offline for three months of scheduled maintenance, starting on Tuesday.
It will see about 930 megawatts taken off the grid.
Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe reported that this unit is now available for use on a daily or regular basis.
“As a result it is giving us 800 megawatts, which are being used in an effort to make sure we keep the lights on.” Phasiwe added

AfriForum urges communities to protect themselves
Afriforum said that communities should take responsibility for their own safety.
This comes after more than 400 hundred delegates met over the weekend.
15 motions were taken by the delegates.
AfriForum Deputy CEO Ernst Roets said, “Although we appreciate the work that many police officers are doing, as a whole we do not have faith in the South Police Services to protect our members in this country, and therefore we will have to do more as a civil society organisation to ensure people look after their own safety in a more substantial matter.”
Other motions were if the Economic Freedom Fighters were to try to grab land then Afriforum would bring communities together to stop such an incident.

38 girls dead, 20 others left injured in Swaziland
The Swaziland Solidarity Network revealed today that at least 38 girls and more than twenty one others died on their way to Umhlanga Reed dance.
The accident happened along the Mbabane, Manzini highway. It’s alleged that the media and police are not able to report this story.
SSN spokesperson Lucky Lukhele said “As a result of the open truck some of these girls were flunk out and those who were injured, some of them have lost their limbs. Their lives have changed dramatically forever.”
Lukhele also condemn the Swaziland government for trying to cover up the incident. It’s alleged that the government has forced journalist not to report on the story because the king wants the reed dance to take place.

DA calls for a full inquiry into Gupta plane hiring
Micah Loewinger
The Democratic Alliance has called on the Portfolio Committee on Defence in a statement to launch a full inquiry into chartering of an aircraft owned by the controversial Gupta family.
Minister of Defence, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, leased the plane for Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa’s official trip to Japan.
Minister Mapisa-Nqakula maintains that no procedural errors occurred and that the plane’s provider, ExecuJet, was not obliged to name the owner.
“Why does the Minister protest so much if she has nothing to hide,” asked DA MP Kobus Marais.
The DA has also asked why South African Air Force planes were not available for Japan trip and whether the ExecuJet flight cost more than one conducted by the Air Force.

ANC accuses DA of weak education performance
The Western Cape Provincial Parliament convened on Thursday, 27 August, to debate the efficacy of the Department of Education, following a surge of heated demonstrations throughout the region.
Within moments of his opening remark, African National Congress Education Spokesperson Theo Olivier accused the Democratic Alliance of failing to provide safe transport and functional school infrastructure for working class learners.
He concluded his statement by repeatedly demanding that Minister of Education Beverley Schäfer resign immediately.
In his response, DA member of Provincial Legislature Lennit Max argued that problems with transportation and infrastructure, particularly for students in rural areas, are remnants of the Apartheid educational system improperly addressed when the ANC controlled the Western Cape prior to 2009.
“The ANC only managed to replace 36 schools when they were in power, but the DA has already replaced almost twice as many schools, 56 in number.” Max added.
Max’s speech was frequently interrupted by swells of shouting, derisive laughter, and consistent murmur from frustrated ANC members.

Cope deeply distressed by the murder of a school principal
The Congress of the People said in a statement it is deeply distressed to hear of the murder of Principal Nokuthula Magwanyana.
It says, this despicable and revolting act warrants the sternest police action and total nationwide condemnation.
Cope spokesperson Dennis Bloem says, the police must leave no stones unturned to find the perpetrators of this murder so that justice is done.
He said threats for her to quit her job and the spray-painted message for her to resign should worry all of us.
Bloem said the taxi violence must not escalate to our schools. We appealing with the Department of Education and the Department of Transport to really curb this thing because we can’t afford and allow this thing to happen anymore in our schools.

Eskom’s spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe said, “We have noted this report whichare claiming that we are pursuing some compensation and things like that. The only compensation we are looking at R2 billion which we have already communicated and this one relates to the poor quality of coal that we got.”

DA concerned about the drop in learners who take mathematics
The Democratic Alliance says it is concerned to find the number of learners taking mathematics as a subject at high school is decreasing yearly.
DA MP of Basic Education Annette Lovemore said this should be the cause for serious concern.
The Western Cape Department of Education is also focusing on encouraging learners to take mathematics and science, which are both gateway subjects for the economic development of the province and South Africa.
Lovemore said we are also very concerned that the pass rate is extremely low with only 12% of learners last year achieving above 50% in mathematics.
Lovemore said, something needs to be done immediately with great urgency. This mathematics is a passport for learners to a job and is certainly a passport to a more vibrant economy for our country.
She said “this is something the Minister should declare immediately her top priority and take appropriate action to address this”.

Alvin Collantes
Independent dance artist and photographer
Our May member of the month is the inspiring and worldly Alvin Collantes.
Alvin Collantes is a contemporary dance artist and photographer based in Toronto, Canada. While obtaining his Bachelor's Degree in Finance at Western University, he studied contemporary dance under the technical direction of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre. In 2013, he collaborated with Hayley Paone and artistically produced a Toronto Fringe Festival production entitled, "DABDA," which received sold-out performances and reviews from XTRA and Mooney On Theatre. He was blessed to be a part of David Norsworthy & Kristen Carcone's TOES FOR DANCE for their inaugural fall tour production working alongside MADBOOTS Dance Company, Colleen Snell, Garth Johnson and Lea Ved. In 2013, he founded “Short Dances”, a monthly presentation of solo works geared towards local emerging and professional artists from all walks of life. Alvin has been a guest performer in numerous events including International Dance Day, Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival, Toronto's Original Choreographer's Ball, Scotiabank's Nuit Blanche Festival. Alvin continues to research his artistic perspective through taking company classes with LeeSaar Dance Company, Gallim Dance and Batsheva Dance Company. Alvin has been a guest teacher in the past five years teaching to thousands of students in over 50+ dance studios across Canada. He is a resident faculty member of FRESH Dance Intensive, The Dance Project and Inhayle Dance Company. He recently participated in the last two Gaga intensives and “Hasadna,” a reportoire-based program in Tel Aviv under the direction of Yaara Moses.
Q: Where are you from originally?
I was born in New Jersey, USA. I grew up in the Philippines and moved to Canada when I was 14.
Q: Where did you train? and what dance genres do you practice?
I first started taking recreational ballet classes in London, ON while attending Western University. In the middle of my undergraduate, I briefly attended The School of Toronto Dance Theatre’s Professional Training Program. While finishing my Bachelor’s Degree, I studied dance independently and started my freelance career.
Q: Growing from emerging to professional artist you’ve done a large and varied amount of work, when did you feel you were officially a professional artist?
During my independent studies, I was very open to tasting different forms of dances and learning them through different mediums. Not only was I cultivating my knowledge in dance by training my physicality, I was also learning through attending and photographing dance performances in Toronto. Some of this included performing in festivals such as Nuit Blanche, dancing in corporate events and music videos, participating in dance battles/cyphers, hosting improvisational jams, co-producing and co-directing a Toronto fringe show and many more. These unique experiences have well shaped my understanding of Toronto dance and the different aspects of being a freelance artist.
Q: As a professional dance artist where has your career taken you besides Toronto?
Since graduating, I have been freelancing in Toronto, working in the industry as a self-employed dance educator, photographer and producer. Over the course of diving myself into the industry, I have learned valuable skills on how to find your self-worth, create your own opportunities, discover various ways to acquire funding and develop meaningful relationships with colleagues, collaborators and clients. I feel that being a freelance artist has given me the flexibility to work not only in Toronto but also outside of Canada. I believe that getting outside of your comfort zone by taking your work to unfamiliar waters can really help you grow as an artist and a person. I find that through travelling, I am able to reinvent myself and gain multiple perspectives on how my work is being translated to an audience. What also helps me grow the most is learning stories of the different artists I have been fortunate to meet. Sharing their stories have given me inspiration and insight how artists live.
Q: How did you get into GAGA?
In 2014, I moved to New York to take on a job as a Flight Attendant. In the two years I lived in New York, I was able to travel the world, connect with artists from all walks of life and watch performances all while freelancing in Toronto. I saw Batsheva Dance Company perform ‘Sadeh21’ in New York as part of the Brooklyn Academy of Music season programme. I started taking gaga classes in 2012 and have known of Batsheva Dance Company from friends. Seeing them in New York has given me the motivation to travel to Tel Aviv and discover gaga in its authentic roots. In 2015, I started travelling to Israel on numerous occasions, participating in the summer and winter courses, auditioning for the young ensemble and taking gaga people classes. Every chance I get, I would take a flight to Israel and stay there for as long as I could. I fell in love with Tel Aviv, the city, the people and the dance community. I believe in that year I visited about three/four times throughout the year. In 2016, I quit my job as a Flight Attendant to spend three months in Israel. In these three months, I have learned a lot about myself through gaga, discovering my strengths and weaknesses are in life and the scope of capabilities I innately possess.
Q: Why did you join CADA-ON?
I joined CADA-ON simply because I want to be a part of a support system, connecting with freelance dance artists like myself in Toronto. I feel that freelancing can be a lonely road and it some parts of my career, I thought to myself how beneficial it would have been to be able to talk to someone or a source of support where I can voice the various obstacles I have encountered. Whether it is a logistic issue, business-related topic or an artistic critic, CADA-ON organization is a resourceful tool to provide you different perspectives and solutions on how to approach an issue you might be encountering.
Q: What upcoming projects are you working on?
This coming summer of 2017, I will be travelling again to Israel. After all the travels and investments, I have been invited to train towards becoming a certified Gaga Teacher under the mentorship of Ohad Naharin & Batsheva Dance Company. I hope to bring Gaga to dancers & non-dancers to Toronto in the near future! (Wish me luck and keep in touch!)
Speaking of Gaga, On May 6th and 7th, I have teamed up with New Blue Emerging Dance to bring Olivia Tarrish Ancona, who recently departed Batsheva Dance Company to Toronto. For workshop details and tickets: http://gaga-olivia.eventbrite.com (see attached poster)

https://alvincollantes.wufoo.com/forms/zvo5yn81wzmbyn/
Q: If you could give a newly emerging artist one piece of advice what would it be?
When we look at social media, we can paint the prettiest version of ourselves and the wonderful things we are doing in life. But underneath every painting, there is process. And not everything is as good as it may seem. Don’t be afraid to revealing your weaknesses as much as your strengths. You would be surprised how similar we (artists) all are.

LOOK, I wasn’t going to say anything, but I can’t believe some of the things i’ve been reading, SO here is MY personal experience:
I did stand-in work on The Cosby show back in the day and YES, Bill Cosby was VERY inappropriate with me. It started innocently, lunch in his dressing room, daily, then onto weird acting exercises were he would move his hands up and down my body, (can’t believe I fell for that) I was instructed to NEVER tell anyone what we did together, (he said other actors would become jealous) and then fortunately, I dodged the ultimate bullet with him when he asked me to come to his house, take a shower so we could blow dry my hair and see what it looked like straightened. At that point my own red flags went off and I told him,
“No, I’ll just come to work tomorrow with my hair straightened”.
I then started to take notice and found another actress, a stand-in as well, and we started talking….. A LOT …. turns out he was doing the same thing to her, almost by the numbers, BUT, she did go to his house and because I will not name her, and it is her story to tell, all I’ll say is she awoke, after being drugged, vomited, and then Cosby told her there’s a cab waiting for you outside.
I have ABSOLUTELY no reason to lie or make up this up!
Anyone that knows me, knows that!
Now you have a first hand account of my experience with Mr. Cosby.
Off you go…
The comment section under that piece is really disheartening.

Assuming this is all true, the fact that it took all these women so long to come forward is a little odd. I'm not even coming close to defending Cosby, just saying. An investigation has been launched in LA so we may have answers very soon.

There's nothing odd about it IMO given how society judges rape victims especially when someone famous is involved. And some of these women can forward at least a decade ago if not more, it's only getting real attention now which is encouraging more victims to speak up.

True. Any time a famous athlete is accused of rape or sexual assault my mother is the first one to be like "Well what's she after? I don't believe a word of it! She had sex with him then saw dollar signs!"
I watched RAW. I thought it sucked. The usual problems and such.

It's not odd at all. It's actually, sadly, the norm. I'm not being a dick when I say this, but seriously Google why women don't come forward and you will see a plethora of reasons/stories.
Well I guess no celebrity/athlete has ever raped anyone according to my mother.

I still waver between "all these women can't be lying" and "out of all these women you would've thought at least ONE would've come forward long ago" (knowing full well why many women don't). But I sometimes look at things through a numerical lens, which is not always reality. Actually IIRC, there might've been one woman who reached a settlement with Cosby in the 90s I think?
Cosby took care of some of them financially afterwards. And some were trying to break into showbiz...who better to have as a mentor in the '80s to early '90s than the dude that was a god of the entertainment industry? And what kind of career suicide would it have been to blow the whistle? With Cosby as your enemy you would be all but finished in Hollywood, right? And who would have taken your word over that of one of the most powerful men on TV? The '80s were still fairy un-progressive re: gender roles and victim blaming.
And none of them probably knew each other...each one likely felt alone in their trauma.

Fictional reference but last night's Law and Order: SVU took departments to task for having backlogs of rape kits not being tested, DNA not being entered into the national database. There's truth in that plot device, scary truth.
When the damned departments aren't taking it serious enough, why should victims feel safe in coming forward? I had to watch a dear friend of mine lose her shit at work one night because she found out her rapist had just gotten arrested (again) the night before for starting a fight in a bar (the same bar where he drugged her).
We were getting newspapers at the time and she happened to mention she didn't even remember seeing his face. Thoughtlessly I said, "well his mugshot is in today's paper." She went robotic. "I want to see it. I HAVE to see it." I cautioned her, "are you sure?" but she insisted, found it, and just started crying "you bastard, you son of a bitch.."
She now lives in another town and hardly ever wants to engage me on Facebook. Last time she was in town she called the office to see who was working and then never came visit.
Her rapist still shows up in the police beat. I don't think it ever went to trial. He made her shower afterwards and used a condom. Her friends she was out with didn't even notice anything was wrong until she showed back up with dripping wet hair.
So yeah - I get why rape victims are hesitant, for decades. It's Bill Cosby. The fear of not being believed and then finding out you're not alone?

What's with all this "why didn't any of them come forward before" bullshit? Several of them HAD come forward, years ago, and were roundly ignored and dismissed.

The comment came after a woman seated in the front row was exiting the Budweiser Gardens’ theater. After Cosby asked the woman were she was headed, the unidentified audience member said she was planning to buy a soda in the lobby.
Cosby then responded: “You have to be careful about drinking around me.”
Following what the comedian claims was a joke, a member from the Canadian audience heckled Cosby for being a rapist. The heckler was then removed from the crowd by security, according to the Associated Press.

Not so much in private, since a deposition is given under oath and penalty of perjury, and could theoretically be used as evidence against him.

When I saw there was a bump in this thread? I was hoping it was that picture.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bill-cosby-defamation-suit-accusers_566f06b3e4b0fccee16f4df8
Bill Cosby is taking action against seven of the women who have accused him of sexual assault or misconduct.
On Monday, the 78-year-old actor filed a defamation suit again Tamara Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz, Louisa Moritz, Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis and Angela Leslie, according to his lawyer Monique Pressley.
In the suit, Cosby claims the women have made "malicious, opportunistic and false and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him." He also claims each defendant "knowingly published false statements and accusations."
Well that was pretty dumb. Unless those seven women are all lying (doubtful), they can use a trial to pry all kinds of information out of Bill that would've otherwise stayed confidential.
And now he has an arrest warrant
https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/news/results-bill-cosby-criminal-inquiry-announced-142724650.html?clear=cache&ref=gs
Should we change the thread's title from "15" to "50"?
I'm not up to date on all of the cases, but do any of these cases have some physical evidence? Guys like this can sway a jury if it comes down to "he said, she said." He's famous, good looking (even at his age women like him), and just a smooth eloquent speaker.
In terms of the case surrounding the arrest warrant that was issued today they went to civil court back in 2005 and Cosby admitted to giving her qualudes. So there is that.
His mug shot.
Kinda looks like he's looking at Tyra.

UK high heels at work petition hits parliament
AFP , Thursday 12 May 2016
File photo of high heels. (Photo: Reuters)
To heel or not to heel, that is the Cannes question
A British petition against forcing women to wear high heels at work topped more than 100,000 signatories on Thursday, meaning it will be considered for debate in parliament.
The petition was launched on Monday by Nicola Thorp, 27, who turned up to work at consultancy PwC in December in flat shoes, but was told she had to have two-to-four-inch (five-to-10-centimetre) heels.
When she refused, and pointed out that her male colleagues were not required to do the same, she was told to go home without pay, she said.
"Make it illegal for a company to require women to wear high heels at work," the petition is titled.
"It's still legal in the UK for a company to require female members of staff to wear high heels at work against their will," it says.
"Dress code laws should be changed so that women have the option to wear flat formal shoes at work, if they wish. Current formal work dress codes are out-dated and sexist."
Thorp, an actress between jobs, was employed as a temporary worker by Portico, PwC's outsourced reception firm.
Portico said Thorp had "signed the appearance guidelines", but said they had now changed their policy to make it clear that flat shoes were allowed.
Companies can tell employees what to wear for reasons including health and safety, and maintaining a corporate image.
Thorp told the BBC: "The supervisor said... 'we only have women in heels at reception', and I said, 'well, I think that is ridiculous'.
"I pointed to a male colleague and said, 'well, he is wearing flat shoes, why can't I?', and of course that is laughed at.
"They then said to me, 'you can go out and buy a pair of heels if you like, we will let you work'. I refused and was sent home."
After passing more than 10,000 signatures, the petition is already due to receive a government response.

Thermal Transport Properties of Olivine, Wadsleyite, and Ringwoodite-A Review TEXT SIZE: A A A
Magnetite, as a common oxide mineral in banded iron formations (BIFs) and ore deposits, is an ideal provenance indicator for mineral exploration, and its composition has long been used for genetic studies of ore deposits. However, many ore deposits, particularly the BIFs worldwide, have undergone various grades of secondary metamorphism or hydrothermal alteration. It is still unclear whether the original magnetite composition was modified during the secondary processes and, if so, to what extent the compositions were modified. In this study, we conduct mineralogical and LA-ICP-MS trace elemental investigations on magnetite from the amphibolite- to granulite-facies metamorphosed BIFs in the southern North China Craton. The new results were compared with those of unmetamorphosed and greenschist-facies metamorphosed BIFs worldwide to understand how the original composition of magnetite was modified during different grades of metamorphism. Magnetite grains from the amphibolite- to granulite-facies BIFs have low Cr, Co, Ni and Ga (less than 10 ppm) and slightly variable V and Zn. These elements do not show remarkable changes during high-grade metamorphism when compared with the unmetamorphosed and greenschist-facies metamorphosed magnetite, indicating that these elements in magnetite are immobile during metamorphism. A very narrow range of Fe2+/Fe3+ mole ratios of the high-grade metamorphosed magnetite roughly suggest limited changes of oxygen fugacity during metamorphism, which is also supported by the limited change of Cr and V contents. High Mn contents in these magnetite grains are associated with low Mg contents possibly due to the fact that these elements occupy the same site in magnetite structure. Compared with unmetamorphosed magnetite, the high-grade metamorphic magnetite in the BIFs of the southern North China Craton has elevated Al, Ti and Mn. Such a change of magnetite compositions is mainly controlled by coexisting Fe-Mg silicates that formed during high-grade metamorphism. For example, our new results of trace elemental mapping on magnetite show that the edge of magnetite grains that are in contact with Fe-Mg silicates (e.g., hornblende, grunerite and pyroxene) are remarkably enriched in Mg, Mn, Al, Si, and Na compared to the cores (some elements up to 10 times more). All these features indicate that elemental diffusion and exchange between magnetite and coexisting silicate minerals during high-grade metamorphism have extensively modified original compositions of magnetite from BIFs.

Carols on Callisto
By Deborah L. Davitt
On the surface of Callisto, Rebecca Fox struggled with tangled, 3D-printed branches, her fingers clumsy inside the bulky gloves of her suit. The swollen belly of Jupiter dominated the horizon, a swirl of muted white and orange, and the Great Red Spot stared like a baleful eye. The landing lights of ships crossed the planet’s face, heading for the port. The vibration of their engines in the regolith rumbled underfoot as they landed.
“This is idiotic,” a voice broke in over the radio as her companion bounce-walked to her, holding another set of printed branches. “It takes us twelve years to orbit the sun. Why do we need to celebrate Earth’s holidays here? We should be creating our own.”
“The kids like it,” Rebecca defended. She had this conversation with Dieter at least once every three months. “They enjoy designing their trees at school, which is a good use of their CAD skills. They like seeing something they’ve made go up. The plastics get recycled, so it’s not a waste.”
“It wastes time.”
“You get to charge hours for this,” she reminded him lightly. “Hush.”

Four of Seven
By Samantha Mills
In the waning light of an artificial sun, Camelia Dunlevy climbed a mountain with her sister on her back. Delilah was a hollow weight, bird-boned from reconstructive surgeries, unbreakable.
The trouble wasn’t her bones, but her lungs. She panted in Camelia’s ear, unaccustomed to altitude, a small sound that might as well have been a war drum. Camelia couldn’t call for help, she couldn’t leave Delilah behind, she couldn’t walk the road for fear of company men.
And her sister was still giving bad directions.
“There’s a path up the western slope,” Delilah whispered, her breath hot and tickling. “I swear it.”
“There’s no path.”
“I came up once, with Aster.”
“Then you were on a tram.”
“Yes. I saw it out the window.”
“I don’t know what you saw, but it wasn’t a path!”
An explosion rocked the mountain, pelting them in pebbles and moon dust. Camelia dashed behind the nearest bush—a sickly, transplanted thing, hardly any cover—and counted the seconds before the familiar grind-whir-scream of a strikebreaker started up. Distant, but not distant enough. (Continue Reading…)

We’re both sitting on the rotting front porch one muggy July day when Dorcas asks me if I want to break into Paradise with her. I lace up my sneakers and we do the old huff-and-puff up Negley Avenue to the big Cygnian compound on the hill.
It’s dark, which doesn’t mean much. Most of the compound-heads are wired up to the pleasure-juice on a more-or-less constant basis, and who needs light when you’ve got that? Still, it only takes about three minutes until we’re spotted climbing over the semi-permeable barrier that separates the Chosen Ones from the Not There Yet. And it only takes eight minutes until we’re sitting in the bare-bones holding tank, waiting for an attendant to rouse one of the compound-heads from their ecstasy.
I look over at Dorky. She looks over at me. She mouths the words “play along.”
And I mouth the word “what?” because for the life of me I can’t figure out what the hell the point of this little stunt is.
The compound-head enters in a thick bathrobe that hides just how fucking skinny they all are. It picks up its slate and starts to write. The chalk squeaks.
Colorless ideas sleep furiously still.
“We want to stay.”
Sonic results spiral within documentation.
The Cygnians say they’re preparing the compound-heads for life on their homeworld, the real Paradise. For three weeks all of us were jacked up on pleasure-juice dialed to Max Effect, while the Cygnians ran tests to decide which of us got to live in the compounds. They shepherded their lucky few into one of the many squat nanofoam villages that dot the entire globe. Then they turned off the tap.
What happened next… well, at least some of us survived. (Continue Reading…)

The Endangered Camp
By Ann Leckie
After the terrible push to be free of the Earth was past, we could stand again. In a while, the engineers had said, everything would float, but for now we were still accelerating. We were eight in the small, round room, though there were others on the sky-boat–engineers, and nest-guardians examining the eggs we had brought to see how many had been lost in the crushing, upward flight. But we eight stood watching the world recede.
The floor and walls of the room were of smooth, gold metal. Around the low ceiling was a pattern of cycad fronds and under this scenes from the histories. There was the first mother, ancestor of us all, who broke the shell of the original egg. The picture showed the egg, a single claw of the mother piercing that boundary between Inside and Outside. With her was the tiny figure of her mate. If you are from the mountains, you know that he ventured forth and fed on the carcass of the world-beast, slain by the mother, and in due time found the mother and mated with her. If you are a lowlander, he waited in the shell until she brought the liver to him, giving him the strength to come out into the open. Neither was pictured–the building of the sky-boat had taken the resources of both mountains and lowlands.
On another panel was Strong Claw, her sharp-toothed snout open in a triumphant call. She stood tall on powerful legs, each foot with its arced killing claw, sharp and deadly. Her arms stretched out before her, claws spread, and her long, stiff tail stretched behind. The artists had worked with such skill that every feather could be distinguished. Behind her was the great tree that had carried her across the sea, and in the water were pictured its inhabitants: coiled ammonites, hungry sharks, and a giant mososaur, huge-mouthed enough to swallow a person down at a gulp. Before Strong Claw was forested land, full of food for the hunting, new territory for her and her daughters yet unhatched.
A third panel showed the first sky-boat departing for the moon that had turned out to be farther away than our ancestors ever imagined. That voyage had been a triumph–the sky-boat (designed, all were ceaselessly told, by lowlander engineers) had achieved a seemingly impossible goal. But it had also been a disaster–as the mountain engineers had predicted, and the lowlanders refused to believe until the last, irrefutable moment, there had been no air on the moon. But as we had now set our sights on Mars, the artist had left off the end of the tale, to avoid ill-omen.
The engineers had used mirrors to cast an image of the Earth on the last, blank panel of the curved wall. It was this that held our attention.
As we watched, disaster struck. A sudden, brilliant flash whited out the image for an instant, and after that an expanding ring began to spread across the face of the world, as though a pebble had been dropped into a pond. Almost instantly a ball of fire rose up from the center of the ripple and expanded outward, obscuring it. I blinked, slowly, deliberately, sure that my vision was at fault. Still the fire grew until finally it dissipated, leaving a slowly-expanding veil of smoke.
There was silence in the sky-boat for some time. (Continue Reading…)

When We Fall
by Kameron Hurley
I don’t remember the first time I was abandoned and forgotten, but I have told the story of the second time so often that when the memory boils up it feels hot and gummy, like the air that day.
Whoever cared for me – and I can’t be certain they were legal guardians, let alone relatives – took me with them to beg at the crossroads just outside the interplanetary port. I don’t know how long they had me, but I know they were not the first. I remember being hungry. I remember a tall woman with dark hair pulling me close and saying, “Stay here Aisha.” She gave me a length of sugarcane and a mango. Her skirt was red. I still think of the red skirt when I think of home.
The people I saw as I sat out there, day after day, were all engineered for different worlds. The world I was on then, there was something about the sky… bloody red most of the day; stars the rest of the day, and a night filled with blue light. People were tailored to fit where they were from, or the place they’d chosen as home, whether that was a world or the deep black between the stars. Some were tall and fat, short and squat, or spindly; willowy as leaves of grass. Gills, webbed toes, ears that jutted out sharply from faces with eyes the size of jack bolts… many had tails; a few had four arms or more. Many wore respirators; teeth gleaming purple behind translucent masks or fuzzy full-bodied filters or suits that clung to their bodies like a second skin.
Even then, sitting alone on the mat with my mango and sugarcane, I couldn’t imagine that none of these people wanted me. I used to pretend, sitting at every port then and later, that somebody would come up and recognize me, or see me and just want me, not for some gain of theirs, but out of pure, unadulterated love. I was skinny and long-fingered, with squinty eyes and tawny skin covered in fine hair. I had a high forehead and a bright shock of white hair that stood straight up. I still wear it that way, long after I figured out the tricks for taming it, because I never did like being tamed. I suppose it never occurred to me to ask why none of them looked like me, because none of them even looked much like each other. I heard once that there’s a test you can take to find out what system your people are most likely in, but I can’t afford the test, and sure couldn’t afford to go back. And who’s to say they’d want me now, when they didn’t before?
It’s difficult to reconcile this memory, still, with what I’m told about our society, about how our people are supposed to be. I see close-knit families and communities embracing one another in media stories. Every audio play and flickering drama squirming at the corner of my vision tells me we care for one another deeply, because we are all only as healthy, happy, and prosperous as our least fortunate member. There is no war, no disease that cannot be overcome, and every child is guaranteed a life of security and love.
But the grand narrative of societies often forgets people like me. They forget the people who fall between the seams of things. They don’t like to talk about what happens below the surface.
I went through a series of homes – waystations, temporary shelters – is probably more accurate. When this story drips out now, to engineers or star hustlers or bounty hunters at whatever watering hole I’m drunk at, most insist I had to be part of some community foster system organized by one government or another.
I wasn’t. I’ve made my own way around, getting work in junk ports and on dying organic ships. I’ve done salvage of old trawlers, rotting on the edge of the shipping lanes, half consumed by some star.
I spent my life with ships.
But I never expected a single ship to change my life. (Continue Reading…)

An Equal Share of the Bone
By Karen Osborne
To kill a theriida, you need gunboats and suits, laser cutters and open-mawed cargo bays, brawn and a stout heart, and God on your side.
We, of course, had none of that.
I learned in the merchant marines to never shoot a theriida with a standard railgun. They’ll thrash and writhe and put angry holes through your hull, and eating vacuum is nobody’s idea of a good trade run. No: a theriida’s distributed brain needs a distributed solution. If you don’t have a spinal lance capable of wide-range dispersal, move on. Don’t even try. Back in the academy, before Eliot and I signed on with Garuda, we used to inflate massive plastex balloons with pressuregel and deploy them beside our training vessels, taking turns at the lance control. It wasn’t anything like the real thing.
Inexperienced spacers often believe that the glimmering purple sac in a theriida’s bioluminescent belly is the animal’s brain, but that is only because we mammals forget that the universe is a multifarious, violent parade of a hundred thousand ways to be mortal. But we weren’t inexperienced. Our captain, Nate, had thousands of hours of piloting time. I was the best gunner this side of the Mercy War. Eliot could make a working engine out of spit and vomit. That’s why we believed we could handle a theriida kill.
Hubris. That’s the word. (Continue Reading…)

When All the Clocks Are Wrong
By Beth Goder
Jen locks her bike and heads towards the theater. She needs a break from studying, but more importantly, she needs to find Ash, who has her Soil Science notes. Jen promises herself she won’t try to kiss Ash–they’ll see the midnight movie, Ash will hand her the notes, and then, summer vacation. That’s it.
Before she reaches the theater, Jen feels a familiar frisson, disorienting, dizzying. When the red lights of the marquee blink 12:45 a.m., Jen isn’t surprised. The clock thing is happening again. She left her house with enough time to meet Ash outside, buy a ticket, grab a soda. But now, it’s 12:45 a.m. One hour later than it should be.
All her life, time has disappeared like this.

Escape Pod 587: Someday
Author : James Patrick Kelly
Someday originally appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction, April/May, 2014
https://traffic.libsyn.com/escapepod/EP587_Someday.mp3
by James Patrick Kelly
Daya had been in no hurry to become a mother. In the two years since she’d reached childbearing age, she’d built a modular from parts she’d fabbed herself, thrown her boots into the volcano, and served as blood judge. The village elders all said she was one of the quickest girls they had ever seen — except when it came to choosing fathers for her firstborn. Maybe that was because she was too quick for a sleepy village like Third Landing. When her mother, Tajana, had come of age, she’d left for the blue city to find fathers for her baby. Everyone expected Tajana would stay in Halfway, but she had surprised them and returned home to raise Daya. So once Daya had grown up, everyone assumed that someday she would leave for the city like her mother, especially after Tajana had been killed in the avalanche last winter. What did Third Landing have to hold such a fierce and able woman? Daya could easily build a glittering new life in Halfway. Do great things for the colony.
But everything had changed after the scientists from space had landed on the old site across the river, and Daya had changed most of all. She kept her own counsel and was often hard to find. That spring she had told the elders that she didn’t need to travel to gather the right semen. Her village was happy and prosperous. The scientists had chosen it to study and they had attracted tourists from all over the colony. There were plenty of beautiful and convenient local fathers to take to bed. Daya had sampled the ones she considered best, but never opened herself to blend their sperm. Now she would, here in the place where she had been born.
She chose just three fathers for her baby. She wanted Ganth because he was her brother and because he loved her above all others. Latif because he was a leader and would say what was true when everyone else was afraid. And Bakti because he was a master of stories and because she wanted him to tell hers someday.

The Zombee Project 3.0
By Allison Mulder
Jensen brought the job offer to each of them in person, like no one did anymore. She poached them from the best labs and the best apiaries, all over the world. Put everything she knew on the table, in out-of-the-way cafés and fine-but-nothing-fancy hotel rooms and home kitchens which smelled strongly of coffee and not much else.
She handpicked them. She made that very clear. Like she was assembling heroes, forming a unit—a rescue unit, with a crucial task.
At that point, it wasn’t recruitment. It was a higher calling.
“It’s not legal,” Jensen told each of them. “But no one who could enforce that knows about it.”
None of them cared. They signed Jensen’s contracts and confidentiality agreements.
And from then on they were all members of Jensen’s team.
Nothing less and nothing more.

When They Come Back
By Natalia Theodoridou
They were called Maria, and Michael, and Siobhan, George, Elise, and Sarah, and Violet, Daisy, Jasmine, Rose–
no, perhaps these were not people names, these were flower names, weren’t they?–
and Gabriel, Raphael, Bacchus, Athena, Io, Muhammad,
but these were mythical names, and god names, and prophet names, so hard to tell them apart all these years after the–
all these years after they–
and Natalie, Vasilis, Dmitri, Ousmane…
The angel is rotting. He’s leaning against the trunk of an olive tree. I examine his body but avoid his eyes, as always, just in case. I would like to have been a man, he’d said once, so I always think of him as one, no matter what his body looks like. Today he has a mane of dark curls that reach all the way down to the roots of his wings. No beard. No breasts. No hair on his body except a little around his crotch.
His skin has turned the colour of a fresh bruise. It won’t be long. (Continue Reading…)

"Facts of Slavery in Kentucky" - James Redpath - New York Tribune
A Case of Cruelty and Torture
"Facts of Slavery" - James Redpath - New York Tribune
by: James Redpath | publication date: May 1, 1855 | Publication: The New York Tribune | pages: 5
Before the Jury, one of Mr. Lewis's neighbors, Mr. David Montgomery, of revolutionary descent, testified that on the first Monday of March,which was County Court day, the younger girl above spoken ran into his house in a state of complete nakedness, and that her first words besought them "to please let her warm by their fire." Upon examination by this neighbor and wife the girl was found to have been most cruelly treated. She showed burns that evidently were made with hot irons upon her neck, her face, her hands under both arms, between her legs, both behind and before, beside bruises upon her head and bleeding at the ears.
Facts-of-Slavery-in-Kentucky.pdf
Description: A wealthy Kentucky family is indicted for torturing their two slaves after a neighbor witnessed and reported the abuse. The slaves were seized by the police for their protection. The article is part of The New York Tribune's "Facts of Slavery" column compiled by James Redpath from the southern press.

Metropolitan Cats by John P. O'Neill – Hardcover: 112 pages; Publisher: Harry N Abrams (April 1982)
Reader review: This long out-of print book is the best cat-art book I've ever seen. All the illustrations are from works in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and range from Egyptian tomb frescoes to near-contemporary artists. There really aren't any duds or fillers here, and the color reproductions, for a 1981 book, are remarkably good.

From fine art paintings by such artists as Stubbs and Landseer to zoological illustrations and popular prints, a vast array of animal images was created in Britain during the century from 1750 to 1850. This highly original book investigates the rich meanings of these visual representations as well as the ways in which animals were actually used and abused.
The Horse: From Cave Paintings to Modern Art by Jean-Louis Gouraud, Michel Woronoff, Henri-Paul Francfort – Hardcover: 400 pages; Publisher: Abbeville Press; Slp edition (November 16, 2010)
"The horse, the noble animal par excellence" is celebrated in this painstakingly curated volume. At almost two feet high and weighing over three pounds, this is a substantial but worthwhile commitment for the reader. The editors chronicle the horse's appearance in painting and sculpture, from prehistoric times to the late 20th century. While Picasso's stirring anti-war painting "Guernica" and Seurat's "At the Circus" are two of the more famous works included, it's the photographs of ancient cave art, found in Saint-Germain-en-Laye and other places, that is most evocative, giving readers a glimpse into art and history that they likely have never seen (indeed, some of the works are difficult to view even at these sites), and connecting them to people who lived thousands of years ago.
Impressionist Cats and Dogs: Pets in the Painting of Modern Life by James H. Rubin – Hardcover: 156 pages Publisher: Yale University Press (November 1, 2003)
Impressionism was revolutionary, and impressionist artists purposefully portrayed animals as symbols of their dissent. Cats and dogs stood for sexuality, independence, loyalty, and the artists' self-image, and Rubin's lavishly illustrated volume explores exactly "how pets in art reveal artists' attitudes not just toward animals, but toward the people they painted, including themselves in their identities as artists." Beginning with a brief overview of the symbolic meanings of pets in ancient Egyptian, medieval, and modern art, Rubin quickly focuses on impressionist works and the symbolic and realistic roles animals played in such noteworthy paintings as Manet's rebelliously sensual Olympia and its opposite, Renoir's Madame Charpentier and Her Children, which celebrates the natural place pets played in the rise of the middle classes. Rubin also discusses pets in the paintings of Monet, Caillebotte, Seurat, Cezanne, and Courbet, whose cat in The Studio of the Painter embodies the artist's determination to retain his artistic independence. An unprecedented, revealing, and enjoyable new angle on a much examined movement. —Lauren Roberts Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

The Horse in Art by John Baskett – Hardcover: 192 pages; Publisher: Yale University Press; First Edition edition (October 15, 2006)
Distinguished author John Baskett begins with the horse in ancient civilizations, including masterpieces from Asia, and then discusses the horse in the Middle Ages, in which the animal was bred for warfare and agriculture and is represented in such scenes as the Bayeaux Tapestry. Renaissance artists, whose interest in horses was as great as that for the human form, are then discussed, evidence of which is shown in the skillful drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. The 17th century brought beautiful examples of naturalism from such masters as Peter Paul Rubens, while George Stubbs became the premier horse painter in 18th-century England. Works by Americans George Catlin and Frederic Remington are also explored, along with exquisite miniatures of natural scenes produced by Persian and Mughal painters from varying periods.

The founder of the Dog Museum in St. Louis and author of Dog Painting: 1840-1940, A Social History of the Dog in Art, Secord here returns with a sort of catalogue raisonn? eight years in the makingAand worth the wait.
Focusing on the 19th century, Secord first delves into the "dog world" of the different European countriesAhounds on the hunt in France were more likely to be in front of a cart in BelgiumAshowing how their milieus affected the paintings that resulted. Next, he turns to the paintings themselves, and lingers.
Many of the 580 illustrations are published here for the first time, with Secord's lively commentary and captions identifying artist, title and provenance of each painting. An appendix of biographies of dog artists will help hardcore buffs keep track, while The Dog Address Book, also available from ACC, lifts many of the best illustrations. This coffee-table book is produced with the kind of care that makes much of the dog-centered stuff out there look crass. Secord's passion for his subject translates readily, even for those not willing to follow him into dog-painting minutiae; anyone with an interest in realist painting will like this book.

Reprogramming inner ear to regrow hair cells promising target for hearing loss treatments
A new discovery from a team led by Massachusetts Eye and Ear researchers may bring scientists a step closer to developing treatments that regrow the missing cells that cause hearing loss.
In a new study, published online December 4, 2019, in Nature Communications, scientists report a new strategy to induce cell division in the mature inner ear. With this pathway, they were able to reprogram the inner ear’s cells to proliferate and regenerate hair-cell-like cells in adult mice. This first-of-its-kind, proof of concept study may provide an approach to the regeneration of sensory hair cells and other important inner ear cell types in people with hearing loss.
“This paper is the first to show that, by reprogramming, mature mammalian inner ear cells can be induced to divide and become hair cells, which are needed for hearing,” said senior study author Zheng-Yi Chen, DPhil, an Associate Scientist at the Eaton-Peabody Laboratories at Mass. Eye and Ear, and an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Harvard Medical School. “These findings of renewed proliferation and hair cell generation in a fully mature inner ear lay the foundation for the application of reprogramming and hair cell regeneration.”
Hearing loss is one of the most common forms of sensory deficits in people, affecting about 37 million Americans, according to federal statistics. Inner ear cells of humans and other mammals lack the capacity to divide or regenerate; therefore, damage to the inner ear, in particular to the hair cells, leads to permanent hearing loss. Hair cells are the specialized inner-ear cells responsible for the transduction of sound-evoked mechanical vibrations into electrical signals that are then relayed to the brain. A number of genetic and environmental factors, including overexposure to loud sounds and aging, destroys these key cells in the hearing system.
There are currently no pharmaceutical treatments available for hearing loss.
Reprogramming inner ear cells to divide using transcription factors
Hearing loss can be caused by the loss of different inner ear cell types. The ability for remaining cells to divide and repopulate the ear is one way to achieve hearing recovery.
Previous research has shown that, in the newborn mouse inner ear, cells can be induced to divide and regenerate hair cells after damage. However, in fully mature ears, the capacity for cell division is lost, and hair cell regeneration does not occur. In humans, even a newborn inner ear is fully mature. Thus, Dr. Chen and colleagues said that in order to develop new treatments for human hearing loss, “it is essential to demonstrate that cell division and hair cell regeneration can be achieved in a mature mammalian inner ear.”
In the new study, Dr. Chen’s laboratory used a reprogramming approach by activating two molecular signals, Myc and Notch, in the adult ear. They found that mature inner ear cells can be induced to divide. Importantly, some of the new cells developed characteristics of hair cells, including the presence of the transduction channels that carry out the mechanical to electrical conversion, and the ability to form connections with auditory neurons, ,both of which are essential to hearing.
“Our work revealed that reprogramming is achieved by re-activation of early inner ear developmental genes so that the mature inner ear regains neonatal properties, which enables them to re-divide and regenerate,” Dr. Chen explained.
Future research looks toward targets for pharmaceutical treatments
This work builds on earlier studies identifying the role of Notch in hair cell proliferation. “The most significant aspect of the current study is the fact that fully mature mammalian inner ear still retains the capacity to divide and regenerate if it is sufficiently reprogrammed, which removes a fundamental barrier that has prevented the inner ear regeneration necessary for hearing restoration,” Dr. Chen further elaborated.
Dr. Chen’s laboratory is working to discover additional drug-like molecules to achieve cell division and hair cell regeneration in the mature inner ear and in large animal models, including pigs.

Shakespeare. Céline. Secrets at Bottom
Shakespeare. Céline. Secrets at Bottom.
By J. J. Przybylski
Ex: http://www.counter-currents.com
Last night I ushered at the local Shakespeare Theater. I had to look the part. So I bought shoe polish at the dollar store, lathered my loafers three (3) times, and glossed my footing. Meanwhile, I discovered the secret of Chinese shoe shine exporters: mix dog shit and lard, slip it in a tin, seal it with a Royal English label.
Dollar stores in Philadelphia must carry all brands of shudras. It’s a footnote in federal non-discrimination posters. Freedom Dollar Store more or less complied. A tall Jamaican worked and preened as a bouncer, a short Mayan-Mexican worked and worked as a stock boy, and a stout Paki in a hijab worked as the owner-overseer from a raised deck with a battery of cash-registers. Finally, a Dominican with rosy lipstick ran the main register and did the dirty-work of taking money. Ha. Ha. I mean she did the dirty-work of interfacing with every fugitive, sickling, church-lady, doped-up mumbler and cheap urban gigolo who counted pennies on the counter.
The Dominican was very nice. Authentically nice. She wasn’t some missionary White Liberal signaling her love of poor darkies for all to see. I think, speaking of trade secrets, that the Dominican girl’s strategic advantage was that she didn’t give a shit. 1) She didn’t give a shit about the backsliding American Blacks need to show, via the stink eye, a smug hatred of Whites. 2) She didn’t give a shit about the USA’s enterprising spirit and/or Judeo-Christian blather which means, for the wage earner, the freedom to work faster and faster to go deeper and deeper in debt while buying costlier and costlier crap. Because the island girl was a champion at handling the leery niggers, stumbling mongrel junkies, and freelance critics who walked in the door, the Paki overseer gave her space. She let the Dominican work at her own fresh and breezy rhythms which are most alien to Filthadelphia.
Life is rich at bottom. A White racist can learn valuable lessons from non-Whites who’ve adjusted to the truth and lies of devolving America. The brown Dominican girl will be just as free and lovely when Western Liberal Plutocracy goes down the toilet. Why? Because her womanly discipline is to be free and lovely right now, regardless of empty promises blabbed by wooly race hustlers, porked-pink politicians and blah, blah, blah. She’s a sparkling gem. Her counterpart is the Black bus driver who’s well seated. Almost like a post-volcanic island. Almost like the Rock of the Ages. But surely the well-seated Black bus driver is like Our Lord’s humble proxy, a salty apostle at the helm of the rolling boat while currents of assholes and elbows flow on the street. And trickled on and off the bus, ebbing and flowing like h-o-p-e.
If you’re a thinking bub with a mind to study a non-White who’s reconciled, within his own cultural referents, the metaphysical truth that we’re all equal in Almighty God’s eyes with the material truth that humanity is a mixed bag? Look to the African-American bus driver. My present point is that the increasingly angry Whiteman can learn from post-disappointment Blacks. Perhaps meta-mature Blacks. On a personal level, even as nailed Christians they don’t give a shit about you. They don’t care whether you’re racist or non-racist or grey in your skin. They solely care about being true to their own inner-standards of Soldier of God comportment. The very best Black bus drivers are bible driven. As Baptists, they are what Evola would call late and faded echoes of the Heroic Navigator. Very late. Very faded. Very barely tuned to the stellar pulse of Aryan lore.
Maybe it’s more like the best Black bus drivers have taken the Hippocratic Oath: First do no wrong. Which reminds me of the trade-secret of Philadelphia’s 5 Star Hospitals. At the pinnacle of tech and brainpower, you get a variation of the same muffled bullshit that passes for harmony on the street. The working truth is that it’s the bosomy White nurses, the modestly high-IQ and pathologically caring goy women, who interface with the human wreckage. They wipe hurt butts, clean pus from fetid wounds, and handle blood and urine samples. If they’re to be trusted with intellectual labor, then they translate aching and garbled complaints into medical terms for the international elite doctors who enter the treatment room like NWO super-stars. The Indians, Asians, Israelis, and shellacked Iranians who ultimately make the call: emergency surgery or modulated therapy or pasty white placebo. A Caucasian Male MD, hired into the hospital on 30-year probation as a congenital but dormant racist, would say that I’m exaggerating the truth. Ha. Ha. A fey diagnosis. I’m exploding the truth.
As for prophetic telling? As for the future of poor White pawns when we’re a minority in America? It’s foretold in Philly if you can read the bumps on the heads of backsliding and dazed Catholics. It’s a trade-secret of serene immigrants to hire a Christianized naif to handle the irate Blacks who enter the door. Preferable, a poor White girl from the depleted Irish Catholic neighborhoods who’s a single mom and reconciled to low-grade abuse. When you see a NE Asian-owned cleaners, with a monkish Asian doing the tailoring and banking, and a rag-faced goy answering complaints about chemical stains and lost pants, you’ve found foreign newbies who’ve aced the New America. They’ve solved the mean streets. It’s up to the native-born White, the face of punch-drunk sympathy, to deliver the law to homeless dregs, “I told you yesterday that you can’t use the toilet. It’s still for employees only. I’m sorry. Sorry. Sorry.”
That’s today’s Philadelphia in the public and semi-public commons where Whites are irrelevant. Reduced to fear and piety or jailhouse bravado. It’s better if you have can afford valet parking. In any case, last night I went back to 1600 and saw a Shakespeare play. I’ve ushered at the theater about 25 times, and that’s my most venal trade-secret as a cheap-ass writer who’s often too lazy to read. It’s said that Shakespeare was a closet-Catholic. Judging by the bewitching hoo-doo in Macbeth, he was also a closet Pagan. It’s a weakness in Christian lore that Mary Magdalene isn’t too appealing as sin’s female agent. But Lady Macbeth has dark feminine wiles that are almost equal to Cleopatra, who Shakespeare renders most lustily. For a while, in the black heart of the play, Shakespeare doesn’t give a shit about the need to present the noble, regal and queenly female ideal. He flies the devil’s kite. He creates stormy fun. But in the end, proper moral order is restored with the thrust of an avenging sword. The good guys win, and social harmony returns to The Realm.
Shakespeare has given me a considerable trade-secret: be irresistibly nasty and politically obscene in my script until the very last moment. Then, like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, produce a warm ’n fuzzy ending. In shoe-shine terms, produce a nicely polished finish and don’t worry about the thin gloss. In 101 textbook terms, produce a plot resolution wherein public order and Divine Order are restored as One. Be wholesome as an afterthought. Take it to the bank.
Thanks Bill. You’re the greatest! But I’m a follower in hard times. I’ve got my own trade-secret to sculptify as a writer. I’ve got my own deep personal resolution to chisel into a plot resolution upon the public stage. Too bad that my ends are as time-specific to the Leaden Age of Western Liberal Plutocracy as Shakespeare’s ends were time-specific the Golden Age of Elizabethan Theater. I’m living at the bottom, maybe beneath the bottom, of a World Historical Cycle if not the Kali Yuga. The point? Regardless of my powers as a cheat, I just can’t pretend to think that the Public Order, the Moral Order, the Natural Order and the Divine Order can be reconciled as One in Philly. Neither can a redeeming spin be synched to the roundly vacant USA and the flickering Globalist Hairball. So much for climactic catharsis with a familial denouement. Shakespeare’s advantage was that he had a knowing race of Englishmen to honor as a loyal and loving prick. He lived at the golden dawn of the British Empire wherein even a vicious pirate like Sir Francis Drake could sincerely drop to his knees and praise The Island Throne. The crowning Spirit of England with its guarded line of aristo-buccaneers. Maybe Sir Richard Burton, as epic writers go, was the last of the breed. Dr. Albert Schweitzer called him “a moral idiot.” But Burton was a heroic navigator of Olympian stature nevertheless. In body and spirit, he was a jealous pedigree with a blinding light.
Life is funny at bottom. It’s amusing to belong to the nadir of Western Man. I’m perfectly cozy here and now. I merge effortlessly, as a natural, with Filthadelphia and its soiled joys and catastrophes. The problem? The trade-secret that’s caught in my throat? The truth that inflames my neck? As a writer and voice, I segregate! I segregate my own frail creative germ from the filthy pedestrian soul-bath regardless of lost profit. I just don’t give a shit about the poor and wailing demos that I know too well. To make matters worse, I don’t give a shit about my financial betters who control the purse-strings, the puppet-strings and the heart-strings of public theater. Neither do I favor their actors in reserve, primed like bombs for the 6 o’clock news: anti-White revolutionaries, volatile immigrants and nihilistic rioters with red-hair, freckles, and dog breath. All that cheap shoe-shine, all that cheap moral or editorial gloss, all that crap lathered over power politics. Really, racial politics.
From the bottom of the Kali Yuga, the grease-pit of the Aryan roller-coaster, my job is to error on the side the Higher Orders. To come clean, as a privileged species of dirty White voyeur who has glimpsed the summit. Revealed in it’s clear majesty by Shakespeare at the top of the ride. Concealed in its gloom by degenerate carriers at bottom. Céline, a man amongst lethal cry-babies and cussed goyim, took it upon himself to grasp the low light. I know some, not all, of his trade secrets. First Céline recognized the luminous germ in the rhapsodic tripe of belly-aching Celt rustics in Paris. Then he recognized the lyrical germ in himself. That was a fateful day. A heroic prick, Céline made his noted lingo, his ripped ditties of genius, untranslatable even into languages like German and Italian that have a kinship with French. It was Céline’s take on low-down fun. It was also Céline’s take on the sport of kings.
A backstreet metaphysician, Céline took the Left Hand Path to the Olympian Heights of Immortal Fame. To cover his tracks in plain sight, he sputtered an asinine ferment of giddy yet scorched-earth prose. There’s do-or-die conviction in his funny steps. The man put himself to the test! And whatever Céline’s ultimate trade-secret, it can’t be severed from his core muse to leave French literature, maybe Western literature, in a vacuum after his death. He refused to be followed.
This explains, at bottom, his anti-Semitic rants. Céline’s paranoia in the face of shysters who’d make a global prole, a pan-humanist, an embalmed ambassador for Colored Revolutions in Africa and Slavonia out of his corpus. Céline: a self-immolating genius. Too hot to touch and leaving friends and foes majestically incensed. Maybe he over-reacted. But maybe he didn’t.

Sammy, the Beagle: Stories 3-4
Sammy was the beagle we adopted from the veterinarian who had a kind of informal “beagle rescue” at her pet hospital. She had agreed to take the dog when its owners said he snarled and barked at their newborn baby. The goal was to adopt it to a family willing and able to take on a young beagle who did not enjoy the company of toddlers who pulled its ears and tail.
Podcast / downloadable audio...
My son, who was 10 or 11 at the time, saw the dog and instantly bonded.
Little did I know that his bond was forged of fragile straw, but the bond the beagle would establish with me was superglue.
Sammy Story 4
Life is an adventure. It’s a dog’s life. What is the difference? Does it matter? It matters if you’re the dog, I suppose.
Sammy, the beagle.
Susan, the human.
If you’re a believer in the Great Chain of Being, you’d assume that you, the human, would be on the top of the food pyramid. You’d also assume that Sammy, the dog would be somewhere in the middle rungs of the ladder. On top? The lion. On the bottom? The snake.
Life is not so black and white, nor is it so hierarchical.
Sammy should be five or six rungs (at least!) higher than I. He should be given bonuses for rain, storms, miseries, etc. for his time in the mud.
Intrusive memories are less than pleasant. What does one do to block them out?
It is fairly easy to see how one could seek altered states of consciousness in order to avoid them.
Do dogs have memories?
Do dogs have intrusive thoughts?
It is a good question. So – what do I do? I run. I run, run, and run.
Whether or not this is healthy is not something. I really want to enter my mind.
The living nightmare. It is everywhere.

Sammy, The Beagle: Story 2
“Your dog is out again!” The neighbor who was convinced that Sammy had killed and eaten their pet white cat was shouting at me as I got out of my white Honda. It was a car identical to any number of other white Honda Accords, except mine had peeling paint from where a ninety-one year old woman, fresh from cataract surgery, had plowed into me as I was stopped at a red light. The accident had happened a few years before, but every time I saw the peeling surface, I felt a twinge of irritation.
Podcast: http://www.beyondutopia.net/podcasts/sammy2.mp3
My emotional perturbation, however, was nothing compared to the surge of rage that my neighbor experienced whenever she saw my cheerful beagle prancing down the road, tail held high.
The dog was out. Okay. She could have phrased it a bit more diplomatically. After all, she was not going to have to be the one to drive through the neighborhood at 10 miles per hour, gagging on the still-redolent back seats, “Eau du Dog.” Yum.
Sammy had learned to open every gate latch known to civilized man. He had also learned the trick I had previously attributed only to Buddhist monks who could “twin” their voices and sing two notes at the same time, who could melt piles of snow with their radiant heat, and who could “speed walk” hundreds of miles over mountains in a day, as reported by Alexandra David-Neel in her book, Magic and Mystery in Tibet. (buddhism books)
However, Sammy was no Buddhist monk, no matter how he made me mindful of “nothingness” and the notion that reality is really a blank slate until I populate it with the contents of my mind.
Instead, what I had on my hands was a big headache. Right now, he was standing the middle of a busy intersection, cars and trucks honking at him, and swerving to avoid flattening him like road-kill squirrel.
“Here you go, boy! Food! Treats! Mommy’s here!” I tried every tender entreaty in the book. “A pig ear chew toy just for you!”
Desperate to rescue my son’s dog, I parked the car and raced into traffic. I emerged, after receiving brutal imprecations, with a very stinky and resistant beagle in my arms.
Was he grateful?
Not at all. The first thing he did was to pee on my back seat.
Was my neighbor grateful?
Not at all. The first thing she did was to shout at me: “He killed and ate Snowball, you know!”
No one had ever seen Snowball, so I seriously doubted she had been eaten. With an owner like that, she probably ran away. One day Snowball would come back. The neighbors would have to dye spots on her to avoid losing face.
I rolled down the window to let a bit of the eye-stinging air mix with sweet prairie breezes. Sammy was whining and making mild retching noises to warn me that the urine would soon be blended with dog vomit.
What a life.
Is this the revenge of Snowball, the white cat that no one had actually ever seen?
Labels: dog stories, memoirs, PETA, petsmart, runaway dog, sammy the beagle
If purgatory, or something like it, exists, I’m sure that there is a special round reserved for me. It will be a dark place, jumping with fleas, steeped in dog urine, where the hot breath of an angry beagle burns the back of my calves and I hear a low, throaty growl as the dog’s lips curl back to reveal yellow canine teeth, crusty with tartar and leftovers from Taco Bell.
The dog has just rolled in his own stinkiness to get rid of the perfumed stinkiness of the “doggie spa” at PetSmart, where the blonde beagle has just had his coat gently massaged with hypoallergenic pet shampoo, and delicately rinsed with warm water, had his teeth brushed, his nails trimmed, and his ears cleaned and dried. Sammy: the overly pampered dog who hated pampering. He preferred to be on the hunt for rabbits, or simply standing in the middle of traffic, looking blankly at oncoming cars.
I never imagined myself to be a bad master, an overindulgent dog owner.
In fact, I assumed my “be free, live and let live” attitude was enlightened. Although somewhere in my heart of hearts I was guilty of what PETA claims is the crime of our age - acting as though other sentient beings exist simply to do our (humans’) bidding, and that somehow we humans are at the top of a Great Chain of Being of our own invention, when in reality, dogs are on top. No one openly acknowledges this, but it’s true. Once a person becomes dependent, emotionally on a pet, then it’s all over.
That dog owns you.

Does Our “e-Celebrity” Culture Affect e-Learning?
Online students are encouraged to interact with each other and the world, and to engage with each other in discussions and debates that meaningfully incorporate the course content and the world at large. News has always been a focal point, but what happens when celebrity gossip and scandal begin to dominate headlines? Further, what happens when the news is influenced (or even provoked) by bloggers seeking attention by performing stunts, parodies, that place them firmly in the middle of the “conversation”?
For podcast, click here.
When Senator Trent Lott resigned suddenly only one year into his six-year term, the reasons for the powerful senator's resignation were lost in a cacophony of celebrity rumors. No one seemed to want to discuss the ethical implications and possibilities -- Senator Lott resigning for $ as a lobbyist? If so, this is an issue that really deserves discussion, particularly in the wake of the corruption scandals of earlier this year and in 2006. But, instead of an intense debate about ethics and corruption -- even among Presidential candidates, the public seemed more interested in rumors. Ethics in politics were quickly eclipsed by celebrity gossip: Britney pregnant with twins? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie feuding? Amy Winehouse headed to rehab after all, suffering from bulimia, too? Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise controlled by a cult?
Earlier this year, when O.J. Simpson ("The O.J. Sideshow is Back") was arrested in Las Vegas for armed robbery and a host of other charges, his scandal pushed aside the news that France was threatening Iran with war.
When Britney Spears opened the Video Music Awards (VMA’s) for MTV, not only did the awards show, which had been in decline, enjoy a 25 percent ratings increase, the fact that her performance of her song, “Gimme More,” was universally panned as a “trainwreck,” a disaster, or even a career-ending humiliation, generated a buzz that was still going strong more than a week later ("Britney Proves Awful is the New Awesome"). Britney’s performance (stage fright? Tripping on the broken heel of boot? Impaired?) her appearance (overweight? Outfit too skimpy?) made it to all the traditional news outlets: CNN, Fox, major networks, morning shows, late night humor shows, and more. Further, Britney’s performance was the subject of debate in offices, Starbucks, beauty salons, radio talk shows, but – above all – in blogs and online videos.
Perhaps even more telling of that performance’s impact on the culture at large – even if only for its own 15 seconds of notoriety – was the fact that Britney’s video performance spawned a wide array of video responses. Chris Crocker, a 19-year-old fan, created an impassioned “Leave Britney Alone” video while in front of his webcam, which, within 4 days of being posted on YouTube, had been downloaded and played by 8 million viewers. Other videos were parodies of her outfit, her performance, her “love handles.”
When the rather odd photos of boxing champion (Oscar de la Hoya) came out, and he appeared cross-dressing in fishnet and a women’s black bikini, it was immediately viewed as a visual allusion to Spears and her sparkly black lingerie-look bikini & fishnet outfit.
Chris Crocker’s video became an excellent example of a “viral video” – one that is disseminated throughout the web and gains enormous traffic as people e-mail the links to each other, post links on their blog, or embed the script in their social networking space (MySpace, etc.) His success even led to a contract for his own show ("Chris Crocker: From YouTube to Boob Tube").
It is every parodist’s or prankster’s dream to create a viral video. After all, there is no doubt that people will see it. The average American may not be able to tell you where Turkmenistan is, but he or she can tell you which celebrity shaved her head and brandished an umbrella at a car full of paparazzi.
In Florida, a college student was administered electrical shocks via Tazer when he became disruptive at a speech given by former presidential candidate John Kerry. The fact it was recorded by a phone / camera and instantly posted on the web provoked intense debates about free speech and police brutality. At the same time, there was a very real possibility that it was a prank, inspired by an entire spectrum of reality shows, many of which focus on playing practical jokes and pulling rather harsh set-ups, gags, and traps.
If so, the prank provoked hard news. The bloggers make the news itself. In the traditional classroom, the “world at large” included mass media, but the participatory world of blogging, sharing videos, social networking, text-messaging, instant messaging, and even e-mail did not exist. The staged-for- television rallies of the past, and the “show” villages for media visits and public relations seem primitive and their artifice seems all too penetrable today, with our awakened consciousness.
The result is that the average e-learner has very different expectations about the kind of information that is available today, and the way one can or should obtain it. “Serious” sources, such as television news, and blogs, YouTube, MySpace, may actually have identical information. Celebrity sites such at TMZ, x17online, Just Jared, dlisted, and PerezHilton have mainstreamed. In many cases, the “hard” news services rely on the blogs for their information, which can make it quite difficult for fact-checkers.
E-Learner expectations about current information and its access can be summarized as follows:
1---It has to entertain. As a result, short, engaging clips are better than long ones. They have to engage the emotions and keep the viewer interested.
2---The more spontaneous or “live” the production, the more believable or authentic the video is. Production values are not as important as the way it engages. Reality programs have conditioned viewers to believe that authenticity comes in pixelly, low-resolution videos and images obtained by handheld devices.
3---Authenticity is no longer automatically attributed to the “official” version, or a function of the perception of wealth or power behind the company producing the video. In fact, many viewers are suspicious of “big” media, since it is assumed that they often have a commercial or political agenda, which results in spin or outright fabrication of facts.
4---Viral videos have more penetration than videos disseminated via “normal” channels. Short, spontaneous videos that capture the imagination and passions of the viewers take off and then spawn, producing view statistics that increase logarithmically. The viral video is an excellent example of a “meme” in action, and demonstrates how waves and tipping points occur in the “wild.”
5—Interaction is a must. Viewers want to interact with the e-media event. They want be able to voice their opinion, and to see their posts being responded to. Celebrities provide the players in stories that individuals want to discuss.
6---Celebrities and their sagas create socialization events in the virtual world, and in a world where face-to-face socialization is becoming (seemingly) less important.
7---Elearners will not respond enthusiastically to stale discussion boards. They want to be able to relate their own experiences and discuss issues that connect to their ideas, views, and values.
8---Socialization process that informs viewers in the ways of the new communication norms. The socialization process is not just about the use of celebrity stories to express values, beliefs, and mores. Instead, the socialization process involves fashion, new vocabularies, and technology itself. What are the celebrities wearing? What words do you use to describe current events? What kind of mp3 player or cell phone do you have? Elearners learn more about current trends via the web and celebrity-driven discourse than in their non-virtual world.
The result is that elearners are expected to have discussions and interactions on the Internet that put everything out in the open. As a result, a non-interactive course that is heavily text-based is likely to bore the average learner. The average course is likely to feel like a tight, closed-in box rather than an elearning space where memes can flourish and students can engage in the kinds of real-world discussions, media events, and communication that makes them feel connected. Learning takes place only after true engagement occurs. Engagement strategies that worked in the past just will not work today, and it is important to keep this in mind.

Britney Spears and the Celebrity Confessional as Addiction
I thought you might enjoy this video post about britney spears, addiction, celebrity spectacles, dependency on the thrill, frisson of voyeuristic involvement, perez hilton, tmz.com.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5400077555832976669
Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Courtney Love - the commodification of personal disaster is discussed from the point of view of a postmodern media confessional. This is a variant of the genre of the confession or confessional.
Susan discusses how the tabloid / media spectator confessional differs from that of, say, St. Augustine, or Rousseau, or even Thomas DeQuincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater. The tabloid confessional creates a false catharsis within the viewer that drives a hunger for another catharsis. It engenders addiction.
We can apply the ideas of Baudrillard or Lyotard quite nicely to this; also Richard Rorty.
Your guide is Susan Smith Nash, Ph.D. (looking quite scruffy and anti-celebrity, as usual).

Paris Hilton In Jail: A Greek Tragedy
Podcast - downloadable mp3 file
Paris Hilton - the drama unfolds as she goes to jail. The drama is less about individual celebrity and more about the nature of popular culture, and our need for archetypal narratives that explain our society, ourselves, and our relationship to others.
If you go to any celebrity blog or website, you'll see what seem to be amazingly cruel comments about a person whom very few readers can be presumed to know. And yet, despite never having met her, the anonymous posters have an opinion. The celebrity-driven public seems to be filled with schadenfreude (malicious glee) at her discomfort. They love seeing Paris Hilton punished. In fact, they'd love to see her toppled from her "society princess" position.
Video Discussion of Paris Hilton Incarcerated
Media representations are probably unfair, but they satisfy the public's need for archetypal narratives to make sense of our world; to make order from chaos.
Paris has been portrayed as arrogant, shallow, self-absorbed. What is she being punished for?
The answer is rather simple: Paris is being punished for hubris, elitism, and pride. One might say that the desire to punish her is more acute in a democracy, where hints of aristocracy, privilege and class difference go against notions of what it means to be American, and the idea of infinite and untrammeled upward mobility. However, the notion of hubris leading to a steep fall extends back to the ancient Greeks, and was enacted in the theater. In Greek tragedy, hubris, or exaggerated self-pride, resulted in the invocation of "nemesis" or destruction. The consequences of hubris often involved death as well.
In certain ways, Paris is a proxy for untouchable rich and powerful figures who seem to operate with impunity in our world today. Self-pride manifests itself in our corporate, political, and cultural leaders, and again, we see that it leads to nemesis -- complete destruction. However, the destruction is not always of the hubris-afflicted person, but of society at large. How many people have lost their lives or their life savings due to corruption, greed, megalomania? Enron, Tyco, Worldcom, and North Korea come to mind.
Not surprisingly, the public would like to see all the hubris-afflicted, pride-filled global leaders punished. However, stripping public officials and the powerful of arrogance and hubris is not possible, so the public has to be satisfied with seeing a politically insignificant and harmless celebrity such as Paris Hilton brought low.
The highly public punishment of Paris amounts to an enactment of punishment, but punishment writ large. Are the enactments of punishments cautionary? Are they examples of Foucault's depiction of Bentham's "panopticon" -- a method of sending a message to the powerful that if they transgress, they will be punished? This seems a bit unlikely. After all, what is really being sold is sensation, and the ephemeral and voyeuristic satisfaction of witnessing someone else being publicly humiliated.
Here's another possibility. Are the enactments a fulfillment of the wish to punish members of society whose actions materially affect us in a negative way? If so, the catharsis that is achieved by seeing such an act is utterly ineffectual. It's not a real catharsis, but is catharsis in an age of mechanical reproduction (to borrow Walter Benjamin's concept.)
When the media creates a "society princess" out of Paris Hilton, she becomes an object, an icon, and pure representation of something other than what she really is. She is further dehumanized when she becomes the embodiment of hubris and self-pride. Media depictions of punishment do not satisfy the public, however, and simply feed the hunger for more.
The media spectacle of Paris Hilton being punished is more sensational than cathartic; it is addictive than transformative.
This is all good -- the paparazzi will have a source of income as the blogs, tabloids, television celebrity shows, and exposes try to meet the ever-intensifying (yet fickle) hunger of the public for celebrity scandal.

Slacker Mystics: Gen Y Visions in Joan of Arcadia and Wonderfalls
Downloadable mp3 file: podcast
In 2004, two television series, Joan of Arcadia and Wonderfalls, both of which were critically acclaimed but fairly quickly cancelled despite fervent fan bases, featured young, underachieving “slacker” females who started to receive messages from a higher power, through both human and inanimate messengers. In Joan of Arcadia, protagonist Joan Girardi, a 16-year-old C-average high school sophomore at Arcadia High School, reluctantly comes to believe that the individuals she happens to encounter in her daily life are actually God. The way they appear to her is disconcerting: God takes human form as a little girl wearing mismatched outfits, a gruff, elderly dogwalker, a high school maintenance man, to a punk high school student with piercings and safety pins in his lips, and many other quotidian personae.
For Jaye Tyler, a Brown University graduate with a degree in philosophy, who decides, to the dismay of her over-achieving family, to work as a clerk at a gift shop at Niagara Falls and to live in a down-at-the-heels trailer park, the voices do not purport to be God, but they still give her divine instructions. Jaye’s divine edicts are delivered to her by inanimate objects (all with a face) that suddenly start to bark cryptic orders at her. They range from a taxidermied trout on the wall of a Niagara Falls bar, a malformed wax lion, a chameleon puppet, plush animal souvenirs of Niagara Falls, and even the carved head at the top of a wooden totem pole outside a gas station.
At the beginning of both series, both Jaye and Joan are quintessential slackers. They resist attachment or involvement in the lives of their family and community. Further, neither Jaye nor Joan is religious nor has religious leanings, although Jaye’s brother is working on his doctorate in comparative religion and Joan’s mother is immersing herself in Catholicism. Nevertheless, somewhere within a nihilistic consumer culture in a kitschy tourist destination where Native American myths and heritage have been commercialized (Niagara Falls) or a decaying, ethically empty American city (Joan’s Arcadia), voices appear, and they ask the young women to resist the constructivist pressures of their environments, and to replace emptiness and passivity with activity.
Both Joan of Arcadia and Wonderfalls reflect contemporary culture’s anxieties about imparted wisdom, and they question the assumptions that are embedded in the skepticism that characterizes an existentialist legacy. Yet, Gen Y lives and operates in a world where there is enormous tension between observable, Newtonian views of reality and seemingly irrational quantum world of unpredictable possibility. The generation is comfortable with believing in processes they can neither see nor understand. In Joan of Arcadia, Joan’s younger brother, Luke, is an honor student whose interest in science and physics gravitates him toward string theory, quantum mechanics, and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, which he describes in almost every episode. With a degree in philosophy, Jaye Tyler is comfortable with multiple explanations for reality, although she does worry about her sanity when the wax lion speaks to her.
Further, Gen Y and the “millennial generation” are of special concern because they seem to be two generations that embody the digital divide. While other generations have learned to navigate a world with rapid technological change, they are not “digital natives” like Gen Y and the millennial generation. Are “digital natives” truly different? If one believes in environment pressure and adaptive speciation, there is cause for concern.
Rather than relying on the latest handheld device, powerful computer, or wireless gadget, both Jaye and Joan tend to find their messages in people or “things with faces.” As a result, one might conclude that the digital natives may be skeptical of digital information (knowing that everything digital can be manipulated) while people and stuffed animals possess more authenticity.
The two series also reflect a certain view of Gen Y’s response to a context that includes both religious fundamentalism and New Age spiritual eclecticism. As platforms for re-examining determinism, free will, ethical dilemmas, and other philosophical issues through often quirky, touching Gen Y lenses, they provide a fascinating opportunity to examine how kitsch and popular culture are deployed to impose a sense of mission and purpose upon two nervous, intimacy-averse, Gen Y slacker grrlz.

Too Close to the Tornado
podcast / mp3 file:
http://www.beyondutopia.net/podcasts/slaughterhousetornado.mp3
The Medic was not there, although I could feel his presence in my bones, which heated and seemed to boil, even though the early afternoon had suddenly taken on a brisk, chill edge. Wind scoured my face with Panhandle grit. An eerie mustard glow came from underneath the clouds that plowed across the sky from the west.
The parking lot was filled with pickup trucks driven primarily by oil field workers and employees of the nation's second largest slaughterhouse and packing plant. A woman smoking cigarettes with a pink band explained how the company avoided waste. Every last scrap of meat, muscle, hide, bone, and gristle was used -- everything except the tail, she explained.
I felt my stomach heave uncomfortably. Nausea surged anew as I recalled that I was just now recovering from two beastly days of food poisoning. I never quite determined what it was that made me ill, but I suspected it was the fish chimichanga from the Sirloin Stockade buffet where I ate a late lunch at around 4 pm. By that time, the fish chimichanga had been under heat lamps for at least 6 hours.
The packing plant was ten miles away. If you parked near the parking lot, there were no smells. When the wind wafted down from the north, it was enough to make your eyes water.
The feedlot was pungent with an unidentifiable something -- fear and death - at least that is what I viscerally registered, even though it was tempting to say the thought was all too cliché.
Most nights were clear, warm and oddly silent. The short-grass prairie stretched out like dark dreams, inverted. The sound of soft breeze through grass, chirping birds, and coyotes triggered intrusive thoughts.
In the afternoons, scissortail flycatchers perched on telephone lines, eating twice their weight in destructive insects.
For the last three years, I had shadowed the flycatchers. I had perched myself on a line, engaged in a solitary frenzy of work and cross-continent migrations. Not a single animal behaviorist could possibly rationalize my actions, except to say that the quiet rhythms of work were strangely soothing to me. Before my "scissortail years," I was, at least on some level, deeply traumatized by pain, fear, and loss. My response was to fight fear with fear. I masked the fear, even as others saw me as fearless.
I was anything but fearless.
I felt the presence of the Medic in the cold chill. He was the semi-fictional persona I had constructed from a chance encounter. Now, he was a presence that animated my waking dreams and the dark, dreamless hours spent in a room where, when I looked in a mirror, I was unrecognizable to myself.
The Medic floated in on the curl of smoke from the slaughterhouse employees' cigarettes.
From the mustard sky, a wall cloud dropped down. Cloud-shreds tangled themselves in nearby power lines. In the distance, I saw the wall cloud rotate and take on conical dimensions. Before its geometry registered in the limbic system of my brain, before I could have a fight or flight reaction, I watched three funnels form. The middle one achieved a tight, thick tubular shape, and a dark, oval-shaped debris cloud flew up at the base.
The tornado had formed. The F-1 or F-2 twister was not moving toward us, but north, directly on track for the slaughterhouse, toward the grain elevators, and toward the flat, short-grass prairie and the state highways now choked with men in pickups trying to get home, trying to call home although cell circuits were busy and we were on the brink of losing electricity for the remainder of the night and a stretch of early morning.
I felt the Medic leave me and his presence race north toward the slaughterhouse, where his trembling hands would busy themselves trying to revive his gravely injured friends.
I looked down at my own hands, which had begun to tremble in sympathy. I heard the roar of the storm. I longed for the Medic's heat in my bones. The tornado had changed direction and was headed our way.
A lone scissortail still sat on a telephone wire, as though calculating the impact of the storm on one's way of life -- in the flycatcher's case, on the insect population.
Before the tornado hit, its center did not hold, and the twister unraveled like thread, or a fanciful destructive thought, slouching toward the slaughterhouse.
Anatomy of a Scandal: Anna Nicole, Britney, Monica, Karl, Valerie Plame (?)
Video cast - click here.
All scandals, to be effective as scandals, must contain within them echoes of previous scandals. This idea is evocative of Jacques ... all » Derrida's idea of the trace, and Bakhtin's the dialogical imagination.
What are the functions of scandals and celebrity scandals? They reinforce societal norms and help people understand what "polite" limits are.
Why do people love the idea that as many as ten men have claimed potential paternity of Anna Nicole Smith's child? Observing her behavior scandalizes and liberates -- vicarious experience provides a "frisson" of transgression without actually having to break the rules.
At the same time, let's think a bit about the gods of Greek and Roman mythology. Weren't they just like humans, but with worse manners and bigger appetites? Further, they had magical powers...
Are today's media celebrities yesterday's gods of myth and folklore?

The Ghost of Anna Nicole Smith - with podcast and video
Podcast, downloadable mp3
Anna Nicole Smith is already a ghost, hyper-dressed for the role. Her pink satin, the ostrich feathers, the campy smile and drowsy eyes are both a promise and a parody of romantic love.
And, well, where is her ghost? We see it on the web, her image surrounded by a cacophony of voices. They all have their own questions which they only imagine are unique. Who is the daddy? Which pills? What kind of injections did she give herself? Why? How?
Isn't it funny how we persist in seeing parallels with Marilyn Monroe, that Anna Nicole herself engineered, and we simply do not see anything at all to do with other famous accidental overdoses --
"She didn't suffer."
That's what we hear most of all. Who really knows? I think she did suffer -- especially in the months after her son's tragic death in her hospital room where she recovered from the birth of her baby girl.
Anna Nicole, while alive, paid the price of being part of the world of phenomena while she should really have been a part of the not-real, as she straddled the divide between the myth, the Hollywoodized, gazed-upon, the victim of the voyeuristic fanzine, and a stop along the way of this year's Graveline Tour.
Now that she really is dead, a shimmering rhinestone ghost, there is no cognitive dissonance. She is a construction, an exaggeration, a camp elevation of the notion of romantic transcendence. She is not flesh and blood. At least not any more… Anna Nicole is now what she always was, pure camp. Before, we may have forgotten to maintain our position of being in on the joke with a knowing wink and a nod.
Perhaps it's time for a paradigm shift with respect to camp.
Susan Sontag suggested that for camp to be camp, for drag to be drag, the author (or performer) and the audience have to be complicit in the intentionality of it all. They have to know that they're creating a parody and are exaggerating. It's not camp if it's not on purpose. You have to know you're doing something deliberately exaggerated, and it has to be very tongue-in-cheek. Otherwise, you just have bad taste.
Paradigm shift? Let's turn to Thomas Kuhn and the Structure of Scientific Revolutions. I always thought he was the coiner of the phrase, paradigm shift. But, I was recently introduced to the French philosopher, Gaston Bachelard, whose work on the spirit of scientific investigation was published in 1938. Did Kuhn borrow ideas from Bachelard?
Let's look at a paradigm shift for camp. Let's say that camp is phenomenological. Teleology has nothing to say in this equation. Camp is in the eye of the beholder and "innocent camp" may be almost more a stroke of genius than the intentional mockery of bourgeois striving.
In the aftermath of her death, Anna Nicole seems to be on the verge attaining the screen immortality she sought. Ironically, it's through over-the-top camp television, The Anna Nicole Show. The last time I checked, it ranked #498 at amazon.com. I'm sure that Anna Nicole would hate it that her immortalized image would be that of zaftig Anna, and not the svelte Trimspa spokesmodel.
On the other hand, perhaps that is part of the construction, the farce of reality television that she created. As an exaggerated play on reality television, The Anna Nicole Show was camp magic.
I'm sure that somewhere in the world of phenomenological projections, the shimmery, rhinestone-studded, pink-satin-draped ghost of Anna Nicole Smith is smiling.

Witch Trials, Peasant Uprisings and the Strange Case of Jon-Benet Ramsay
I've been doing a lot of reading in world history and civilization ... the witch burnings and witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries are very strange. They coincided with waves of peasant uprisings...
A coincidence?
Not a coincidence?
Peasant uprisings occurred throughout Europe from the late fifteen hundreds until well into the late sixteen hundreds. What was the reason for them? Basically, the peasants were angry about the growth of absolute monarchy -- an autocratic rule that looks a lot like what today we would call dictatorship. The autocrats were definitely cruel. We have to remember that this was a time of drawing and quartering. Religion played a big role because of the Reformation -- Protestants questioned the authority of the papal structure.
Likewise, people questioned the authority of the absolute monarch, especially if he happened to be cruel or repressive, or abused his power.
I'm thinking now about a rather strange phenomenon that also had to do with another perceived abuse of power. For some reason, at that point in time, it was believed that powerful and dangerous women lived among the normal folk and bewitched their animals, children, and crops. This was in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
What precipitated this rather bizarre belief? One has to wonder if some of the aristocrats found it convenient to deflect attention from themselves by stirring up witch hunts. Perhaps more than a hundred thousand people were prosecuted throughout Europe on charges of witchcraft. Although larger cities were affected first, the trials spread to smaller towns and rural areas as the hysteria persisted well into the seventeenth century.
If fomenting internal discord was a good way to put a cap on the peasant rebellions, it was an effective stopgap. The peasants did not pull out the guillotines and use them on the gentry until a hundred years later.
I've read a few transcripts from the witch trials. After a few stretchings on the rack, the women tended to confess to anything. They weren't even in it, like John Mark Carr and the Jon-Benet Ramsay confession, for the celebrity. Nor did they confess in order to establish paternity, as in the case of Anna Nicole Smith and her daughter, Dannielyn.
I think that the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts were a bit different. Reading about the witch trials in Europe in the sixteenth century has made me curious, though.

Who's the Daddy? Anna Nicole a Human Komodo Dragon?
Audio file / podcast.
One of the Marshalls needs to come forward and settle it once and for all that J. Howard Marshall II's frozen sperm was used to impregnate Anna Nicole Smith, and the father was not one of the twenty or so pretenders, even if one is Zsa Zsa Gabor's Prince (formerly known as Hans Robert Lichtenberg). Where's Zsa Zsa in all of this? She's 90 and an invalid after a tragic 2002 car accident. I suppose she likes the idea of being married to a stallion. I thought of Catherine the Great. I also thought of Royal Lippizaners. That's another story, though. In the meantime, I'm thinking Komodo Dragon. I'll get to that later, though.
Let's get back to the Anna Nicole "who's the daddy" media circus. Could it be Howard K. Stern? He is currently being held out as evil incarnate.
Could it be one of the others? We seek concrete evidence, but without a narrative framework, and without multiple working hypotheses, nothing makes much sense.
Even with them, the multiple working hypotheses we're regaled with -- the conspiracy theories, and the fantastic speculations -- have more in common with fairy tales.
At the center of the maelstrom was Anna Nicole Smith herself -- a simulacrum of Marilyn Monroe -- a copy that serves only to reinforce its "copiness" and to refer back to the real. But, in this case, the real was a copy and a construction. What do we do?
The copy-Marilyn Monroe (Anna Nicole Smith) began to fold in on itself. It began to suggest the falseness of itself. The more vapid (slurring or incoherent) Smith's performance, the more she became a caricature. The more cartoon-like the image, the more it pointed to the real, the original -- even to the point it erases the real. It also simultaneously erases itself. It is the copy that, when held to the light, looks garish and cheap, and even makes the original seem garish and cheap -- not by association, but by pure action of mind.
What was the original anyway? I would argue that the original construct -- the Marilyn Monroe -- was a tongue-in-cheek lampooning of male visual fantasy. Yes -- the image was male visual fantasy lampooned -- "punked" as it were.
What is rather tragic about Anna Nicole Smith's simulacrum of Marilyn Monroe is that is seemed to lose the humor embedded in lampooning straight males. After all, we live in a rather different self-reflexive world, and television has made a history of making a visual echo chamber of itself. Let's think of The Simpsons, as an example. It is absolutely impossible to enjoy The Simpsons without a high level of television sitcom and popular culture literacy.
Could Anna Nicole Smith have been a better object of Borat's desire than Pamela Anderson? It's hard to say. Anna Nicole Smith seemed to be stuck right in the middle of an endlessly repeating scene from How to Marry a Millionaire. The pink she surrounded herself with in The Anna Nicole Show was punctuated by flashes of impossibly small dogs and exotic animal print throw pillows.
As Anna Nicole decorated and redecorated her house, she approached it (and her body) as would any good Hollywood starlet, which is to say she mutilated it.
But for some reason, we loved watching.
Anna Nicole Smith utterly effaced the boundary between the real and the unreal, the constructed and the re-constructed. She embarked on an endless reification process, an ourobourous-like self-swallowing, self-devouring metamorphosis. We could see the transformations occur as she bloated, shrank, bloated and shrank again, and as she slurred, stumbled, and drooped her eyes.
In the end, though, something strange happened. Anna Nicole Smith, although she was ostensibly simply a self-constructed copy of a self-construction (the Gatsby-esque Marilyn), seemed more real.
It was all about Daniel. Anna Nicole was a mother. She gave birth, and kept Daniel at her side. We saw him grow up. We saw her devastation at his death only three days after the birth of her daughter, the paternity-challenged Dannielynne (sp?).
The way she grieved was touching in a way that does not seem to have been a part of the Marilyn Monroe persona, and we had the sense that Anna Nicole disintegrated at the death of her son. The construction deconstructed. The grief was the ultimate effacing mallet of fate.
Perhaps it will turn out that Anna Nicole Smith is like the virgin Komodo dragon that gave birth to five Komodo pups on (of course), Christmas Eve, in a zoo in northern England.
That would be the ultimate irony and the ultimate gift to the media circus. The copy has finally been able to copy itself.

sleeping under nets
desire is transparent,
yet seemingly impenetrable
where the air sweats
sweet thick dreams
sleet slick freeze
night released you
thin-winged & whining
belly like waxpaper
me, a gift, shining
salty hot awakenings
dark sticky bleed

Travelin’ Jack’s Story
Friday, 23 August 2019 03:04 By Jill Lane Travelin’ Jack’s Person, Co-Author, Fundraising Partner, PR Agent, Travel Partner, Chauffeur, Personal Chef & Partner in All Things Good For the Sun
Olde English Bulldogge July 4, 2008 – August 10, 2019
Jack’s story began in January 2009 when I adopted him from the Pueblo Animal Shelter. He was relinquished at the age of seven months old by his first owner because “he got big.” This excuse by a non-committed owner was the greatest gift I ever received. From the beginning he was supposed to be a pet, but that first trip from Colorado to New Mexico began his legacy as Travelin’ Jack.
Travelin’ Jack was immediately put to the task of becoming the most famous …and hard-working dog in New Mexico. He quickly became New Mexico’s Adventure Dog and pre-eminent dog-expert on Pet Travel. Since his entrance into the public media arena, he captured the hearts, attention and exposure of people and pets alike. Jack appeared on Television, Radio, and Print. He participated in conferences and dog-hosted numerous pet-oriented events. And like any good celebrity, Jack adopted his own ‘pet project’ i.e. worthwhile cause. Travelin’ Jack’s favorite charitable endeavor: promoting and sharing the message regarding Animal Adoptions, Rescue and Animal Welfare organizations.
His first book, Travelin’ Jack’s Story…from Shelter to Star, published in 2010 espoused the benefits of Pet Adoption. Jack also appeared on the cover or was incorporated into numerous other publications including books, magazines and internet sites.
Travelin’ Jack’s TV career started in December 2009 when he landed a role on the TV show “Travel Guide New Mexico”. He had his own segment called JACK’S TRACKS where he reported on pet friendly travel destinations around New Mexico. That show carried over to regular monthly segments on the New Mexico CBS and Fox New Mexico TV affiliate shows where he and Jill reported on ANYTHING PET…from pet-friendly travel to Fashion to Animal Health and Welfare. His last TV appearance was this 4th of July on the subject of pet safety during 4th of July fireworks. Jack also appeared in a number of TV commercials, including a Ford Commercial. He partnered (and modeled for) PetSmart on pet product promotions and was even included in a Dr. Oz segment on national TV.
His dog adventures included travel, the likes of which most dogs only dream about.
Jack’s adventures have been shared throughout the media world, via TV, radio, magazines, brochures, websites, blogs & social media. Always ready to share his adventures with his Facebook and real-life friends and fans, in Jack’s words…“Here are a few of my favorite pet adventures.”
Hot Air Ballooning. While this adventure might not be the norm for the average Joe-Dog, I loved it and I know many balloonists’ dogs fly with their people. It’s a doggone grand adventure to fly high in the sky and look down on the world below.
Zip Lining. I may be the 1st dog in the world to ride a Zip Line. And I reveled in this adventure at Ski Apache Ski Area, where they made an exception and included me on a special mile-long zip line ride. It was awesome! But (disclaimer here), it is not an activity for the average Joe-Dog.
Ski Gondola Ride. Yes, this is a pet friendly adventure for the whole family. There are several ski areas in New Mexico that include the dog. While some of the group skis down the slopes, Fido and Grandma…or whoever can hike around the mountain top, take pics galore and breathe in the fresh mountain air and beauty. Then re-board the gondola for the ride back down. This adventure is good for ANY dog!
Boating. From kayaking to floating on a pontoon boat, the lakes and rivers provide many adventures for the outdoor lovers. I’ve experienced most of them.
Cardboard Derby Race We’ve participated in a race at Sipapu Ski Area racing down a ski slope in our custom built ‘Dog Sled.’ Jill and I took a ‘spin’ down the mountain. I give this a paws-down for the less than crazy dog. It’s better to watch from the sidelines and eat a burger later.
Sand Dunes Sledding White Sands National Monument. This is FUN for even the most laidback pup. You can also tour the park in your car and enjoy the sedentary travel experience.
City Touring. New Mexico is a state filled with history, culture and beautiful scenery. A tour is a great way to experience an area in a short time. It’s a big surprise to many visitors that several bus and trolley tour companies include pets.
Wine-ing, & Dining: OK…no wine for the Jack-ster, but I do like an H2O Bowser Brew while dining on a PET-IO at a pet-friendly restaurant. Because of New Mexico’s pet-friendly laws, there are MANY places to enjoy dining al fresco with your pet here.
Pet Friendly Lodging. Whether it’s a posh resort or an economical motel, quaint B&B, rustic cabin or even RVing, there is something for every pup and person in New Mexico. I have stayed in Presidential Suites at historic luxury resorts, relaxed in cozy riverside cabins, snoozed in lakeside campgrounds and shady RV parks that welcome the 4-footed adventurer. Why, I have even convinced some non-pet friendly establishments to change their ways by including pets.”
Travelin’ Jack and Jill just introduced their latest book just this June, a pet travel guide to New Mexico. ON THE ROAD WITH JACK AND JILL. In addition to sharing info on great New Mexico destinations (Gallup is included) and pet-friendly options, proceeds from the book are donated to New Mexico animal shelters.
This philanthropy with a focus on shelter adoptions is perhaps the most important part of Jack’s legacy. Over the course of his 10-year animal welfare campaign, he helped raise around $40,000 for New Mexico shelters and animal welfare groups.
Travelin’ Jack was recognized by Mayor Berry of Albuquerque for his philanthropic work with the Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department. He was also the 1st dog ever recognized by the Governor of New Mexico for his impactful work in travel.
While most of Travelin’ Jack’s work revolved around travel adventures, animal advocacy and philanthropy, he also incorporated a public servant role into the mix of his workday.
In 2010 he became PAW-litical with his successful run for Dog-Governor of New Mexico. His successful Canine Campaign as 1st ever INDEPENDENT DOG-ERNATIORIAL CANINE-DI-DATE FOR DOG-GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO. was his first serious foray into raising awareness and funds and sharing the Animal Welfare message. He campaigned around the state and encouraged pets to vote for him on his ‘write-in PETition’ and of course make a donation for pets in need. The campaign raised over $6000 for twelve animal organizations in just one month of campaigning. And he was elected 1st ever Dog-Governor of New Mexico by 798 four-footed compadres. Since then, he was ‘re-elected’ in 2014 and 2018 and was uncontested by any opponents…because ‘they recognized and voted in a true leader of 4-feet’.
Another area of PUBLIC SERVICE lay in his Military role. Since the Bulldog is the official mascot for the Marines, Travelin’ Jack volunteered his service as official Mascot for the Delta Company Marine Corps reserve unit in Albuquerque. Every December he donned his Marine Dress Blues and helped raise money, toys and awareness for TOYS FOR TOTS. He has been recognized by the Marines as one of their Top Supporters and he holds the honor of being the largest Dog Donor for the New Mexico Toys for Tots Campaign. The past 2 years he also traveled to Gallup to hold a TOYS FOR TOTS campaign, in support of local Gallup children and families.
Travelin’ Jack may have started life out as a shelter pup, but he accomplished a lot in his 11 years. He dedicated his life to supporting his 4-footed compadres. His work helped hundreds of pets get adopted into forever families and raise much needed funds for deserving Animal Welfare organizations. He proudly shared his experiences (and has been recognized in local, state and national arenas) in the pet travel arena as one of the top Pet Travel Experts in America. He is a New Mexico True icon!
Travelin’ Jack was blessed with amazing adventures and opportunities. And while a catastrophic heart issue cut his life short, he’s not finished yet…his legacy will carry on. There are many more miles and milestones down the road for Travelin’ Jack as we continue to move his legacy forward. His important role as co-pilot for travel adventures and to raise awareness for animals will continue! Soon there will be a Memorial Tour …to continue Jack’s Legacy.
We thank everyone for the endless Love shared with Jack, from tiny tots to elders, from handicapped individuals to large groups. We feel blessed with all the amazing support he received from everyone, from well-known politicians and military heroes, to the New Mexico travel and tourism industry-all who embraced him as their ‘pet expert’. From the myriads of friends and supporters he made both in dog-person and via Facebook and social media forums. From his compadres in media, including TV, radio, magazines and social media, he has been embraced by friends far and wide. His story and personality have been shared worldwide.
I feel blessed to have shared this unique adventure with this very special 4-footed person! May he romp through Doggie Heaven and hold paws with friends who will welcome him there.
Thank you to everyone who loved and shared life with Travelin’ Jack. May his motto ‘DOGGY HUGS AND SLURPY KISSES’ and his good work continue forward…one pawprint at a time!

The anti-vuvuzela thread
Thread: The anti-vuvuzela thread
14 Jun 10, 15:47 #21
Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to bring my ear plugs...
Btw, anyone else from this forum going to any match in the WC? Maybe we can start a South Africa travel group thread ala the Milano/Madrid thread.
Fav. Player
Skriniar
I love how it is a huge surprise to everyone...did you guys miss the Confederations Cup last year?
brehme1989
I am officially against this.
You can't watch football like this, let alone play it.
The players can't hear eachother, the players can't even hear the refs whistle.
We, the tv fans, can't watch a game without headache.
Culture or no culture, the blowing horns were part of ancient times in Europe as well. Every race in the world used them. But to use them in this era, in football games, just sucks.
Quote from Evra:
He said: "We can't sleep at night because of the vuvuzelas. People start playing them from 6am.
"We can't hear one another out on the pitch because of them."
Here's a quote from Jordaan, the organising chief of the South Africa World Cup:
Jordaan admitted he was not a huge fan of them himself. "I would prefer singing," he said.
"It's always been a great generator of a wonderful atmosphere in stadiums and I would try to encourage them to sing.
"In the days of the struggle (against apartheid) we were singing, all through our history it's our ability to sing that inspired and drove the emotions."
I can't watch a dead football game.
Goal scored, no reaction.
Penalty or foul not given, no reaction.
Goal disallowed, no reaction.
Counter attack with great expectations(3 on 2 or whatever), no reaction.
It's just a constant noise, throughout the whole game. How can people defend this? Some people just defend this sound just to appear that they are "politically correct"
The only hope is teams with over 10.000 fans over there make a great crowd. But even 10 vuvuzelas are enough of destroying the atmosphere.
I know for sure that I'm not the only one who despises this and stopped watching most of the World Cup.
I have relatives in the USA who have started watching football in 2006 and were looking forward to watch this one, so much, that they invited the whole neighbourhood for the USA game vs England and the one before or after, not sure. They hyped "football", some neighbours became excited as well, but from what they've told me, they won't watch many more games because of the terrible sound.
I can't even handle a mosquito revolving around my head, how can I withstand this racket?
Besides the complaints, there are concerns they can result in hearing loss, and word is they can trumpet up to 127 decibels.
Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo says the noise affects player concentration, while some fans watching on television claim they cannot hear the commentary.
I can hear the commentary(wish I didn't, Cypriot commentators know nothing about football and generally suck )
Pazzini
“I am pretty worried, as yesterday during the warm-up test there were only three, but they made an incredible racket,” moaned the Sampdoria striker.
“I can only imagine what it’ll be like with 30,000. My teammates told me that last year it was hellish during the Confederations Cup. It may not look like it, but a football pitch is like a marketplace full of people shouting important instructions and the referee’s whistle.
“It may not look like it, but a football pitch is like a marketplace full of people shouting important instructions and the referee’s whistle.
“If all this is drowned out by the sound of the vuvuzelas, then it can be a problem. We’ll have to be even more focused and concentrated.”
Then you have this:
Do organizers care? They don't give a hoot. Their bottom line: the cheap plastic noise-polluters are a South African tradition. Those who don't like them can, well, lump it.
"I won't dwell too much on what outsiders think about vuvuzelas," says South Africa organizing committee spokesman Rich Mkhondo. "I won't dwell too much on what the feelings of the spectators are."
He is backed by FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who asked: "Would you want to see a ban on the fan traditions in your country?"
It seems that it's South Africa vs the world of football. The problem is that some of the fans in South Africa have a "if you can't beat'em join'em" attitude.
"The vuvuzela is now an international instrument," said Mkhondo. "People buy them and stuff them in their suitcases and take them home."
"The vuvuzelas are here to stay and they will never be banned," said Mkhondo. "As our guests, please embrace our culture, please embrace the way we celebrate."
British bookmakers William Hill are offering smallish odds of 16-to-1 that the horns will be banned before the World Cup final on July 11.
"It appears to be people who don't normally attend or watch football matches live and would rather sit and watch games in silence who are objecting to the vuvuzela," said Graham Sharpe, a William Hill spokesman. "Besides which the noise helps drown out some of the commentators, whose own incomprehensible vocal babble is often far more offensive than any vuvuzela!"
Following last year's Confederations Cup, there were complaints from coaches, players and broadcasters about the noise. But Fifa said that the horns formed part of the unique African atmosphere of the tournament and refused to ban them.
Dutch public broadcaster NOS has received a large number of complaints from viewers about the sound of the vuvuzelas at World Cup matches in South Africa. Apparently many viewers don’t like the sound, which to some people sounds like a constant droning, and want the level turned down. But director Jan de Jong told the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad that the broadcaster has done its best to find a satisfactory balance between the commentary and crowd noise, and points out that the sound is being heard around the world.
Anyone has a stream for this Belgian station? Seriously!
Football website elfvoetbal.nl suggests that Dutch viewers who find the sound distracting should switch to Belgium’s Flemish public broadcaster VRT, which is available via cable all over the Netherlands, as its commentators use a different type of microphone that reduces the background noise from the crowd.
Tests on traditional vuvuzelas have suggested that they create a noise which at 144 decibels is louder than a passenger jet.
Neil van Schalkwyk, of horn makers Masincedane Sport, said: "We have modified the mouthpiece, there is now a new vuvuzela which will blow noise that is 20 decibels less than the old one.
But with thousands of the horns having already been sold it is unlikely to redesign will have any effect.
Messi added: "It is impossible to communicate, it's like being deaf."
Lol....Well, we should take all the vuvuzelas at South African games so that we can filter our options. That would mean no S.Africa matches for us and no vuvuzelas in the rest of games. I'd agree on that
South Africa’s goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, meanwhile, wants the vuvuzelas to get louder. "We want more support and louder vuvuzelas when we play our next match ... We could hardly hear the fans who were quiet at stages during the opening game."
From Confederations Cup
Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso said: "I think they should be banned. They make it very difficult for the players to communicate with each other and to concentrate.
"They are a distraction and do nothing for the atmosphere," he added after his team's 1-0 win over Iraq.
After only three days of World Cup games, international players in South Africa are already complaining about the trumpet, which has been a regular facet at the country's football stadiums since the 1990s. Players on the French national team say the noise keeps them from sleeping -- the horns start at dawn -- and that they cannot hear one another while on the field. Other players, including Argentinian team captain Javier Mascherano, have echoed those complaints. And at a press conference, Portugal's superstar Cristiano Ronaldo agreed, saying: "It is difficult for anyone on the pitch to concentrate." Finally, the president of the Japanese football association called the vuvuzela noise "unbearable."
A spokesperson for the French company told SPIEGEL ONLINE: "Eliminating or filtering the vuvuzela noise levels technically is not possible without affecting the whole signal."

I've only watched 2 full games so far(just because I couldn't divert myself elsewhere) and perhaps will get to watch a 3rd one in an hour if Italy vs Paraguay has fans that can eliminate the buzzing noise. Doubt it.
Anyone disagrees about the vuvuzelas killing the mood?

So its either adapt or not attend or watch the games.
Earplugs solve the issues of going death but ruin the atmosphere. It isn't nice attending a game with friends and family and not being able to communicate with them.
Forza Inter per sempre!!!!

Yuko, I compeltly agree with you. These vuvuzelas are a fucking disgrace for football. It's funny how you can stop watching a WC match though. I hate the buzzing sound, I hate the game rythm but hell I can't stop watching a WC match, I couldn't wait to get this started...

It was the same situation even while the Confederations Cup was going on, but nothing was done.
And btw, the Confederations Cup isn't watched by all the WC viewers.
had to turn the tv to silent to watch the italia game tonight.. putting me off watching any games other than the big ones right now tbh

No al calcio moderno

im like bessi... i have watched every singe game so far
About this shitty sound, agree with you all.. At the opening, i thought it will be only when South Africa plays, their fans, their way of supporting... But when i saw the second game, i said to myself, fuck, they will be noising every single game..
"This wonderful night will give us the colours for our crest: black and blue against a backdrop of gold stars. It will be called Internazionale, because we are brothers of the world."
Derby d'Italia, why the rivalry?
My message to JuBe cunts
La Bling
I've watched every match, and don't notice them anymore. Maybe you guys should try putting your t.v. at a lower volume.

I agree. Somehow, I just focus on the game or the commentators. A couple times a match I'll stop and consciously think about the vuvuzelas.

Not going to happen now. If you ban them now you will cause a riot with the local fans. It should have been banned after the confed cup now its too late.
Just to bring another perspective to this since we have only qoutes of guys saying its bothering them. Wes says it doesn't bother him.
http://www.fcinter1908.it/?action=read&idnotizia=7619
Carragher jokes that its louder at anfield.
Seems that the volume has decreased!
But still irritating...
Most TV channels have now implemented noise reduction on the vuvu'z frequency... 233 mhz I think for those with a sound system.
I also found out today that the instrument from hell is not actually part of SA's history. It was invented some 40 odd years ago and used more widely in the 90's. In fact, it wasn't until 2001 that they began mass production of the vuvuz.
I always assumed there's a good reason for having it, such as being deeply rooted in African history. 20 years for a silly instrument to exist has nothing to do with history or culture, it's commercialization. It's an object nobody has any emotional attachments to. Even those trying to be politically correct should have a hard time defending it!
If it was really a cultural thing they could have sold African drums or something. It's not about culture, it's about money. There's only one company producing them in SA because they started earlier than everyone else, and there's only one company who owns the rights for all of Europe. If I hear one more person saying it's part of African culture I'll smack them in the head with a vuvuzela.

Affordable Housing and The Effects on Families and Communities
KINSTON, N.C. (WNCT) – One organization is all about giving back to the community. Hope Restorations gives former addicts a way to earn money and it also gives low-income families the opportunity to live out of government housing.
Larry Driver is one of those people who say he’s lucky that he has an opportunity at a second chance
“I got in a car wreck in 2007, and I was put on pain pills and it goes downhill from there,” Larry Driver said.
After being addicted to pain killers for years, Driver said he’s finally back on track.
“I’m waking up in the morning with a purpose,” said Driver. “I’m coming to help someone in the future with a great home and a great energy bill and all of that.”
Thanks to Hope Restorations, Driver now has a full-time job working on remodeling a home.
“We are all just trying to invest in them and begin to open doors for them and, in the process, they are learning how to help others,” explained board member Chris Jenkins. He said the organization receives funding through the Duke Endowment grant.
Jenkins said it’s important to keep the men working when the grant is completed, “We hope to over the next few years to require about 30 houses so that would be our way to sustain revenue.”
Lenoir Community College is also assisting the organization with training. Driver said, after this house is completed in the next month or so, he’s looking for other opportunities to work in construction. He hopes others will give him a second chance as well.

October News Update
Filed Under: Electric Hot Tuna, GE Smith, Jack Casady, Jorma Kaukonen, Setlists, Shows, Uncategorized, Venues
Oct.26, 2010
October is a great time of the year. The leaves are changing color as the days are getting shorter and kids everywhere are deciding what to be for Halloween. This year, why not dress the kids (or grand kids or even your favorite pet) as your favorite Hot Tuna character! If you do, send us a picture and we’ll post it on the site.
The band caught the early changes in the fall foliage coming off our west coast tour a couple of weeks ago. It was a great run through the upper northwest as we played some of our favorite west coast venues like The Gothic in Englewood, CO, The Aladdin in Portland, OR and of course Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA. We tried to figure out how many times Jorma and Jack have played Golden Gate. We estimated it to be a least “couple of dozen” times. If you think you know the answer, be sure to let us know. If you want to see some of the set lists from the West Coast swing, check out Jorma’s blog, Cracks In the Finish.
We are just a few weeks away from playing the season closing show at the Fur Peace Ranch. This year’s show will feature an outstanding guitar player and our very good friend, Steve Kimock. Steve is filling in for GE Smith who is on tour with some guy named Roger Waters. Although the show is sold out, there is one way to get in and see it. There are still some open spots for Jack’s Bass Workshop. It’s always a favorite. Speaking of Jack, there is an interesting interview of the Bass Master over at Blues Revue. In it, Jack talks about the impromptu jam session for Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland album. It’s a good read.
It looks like the Hot Tuna Birthday Celebration for Jorma at the Beacon Theater is just about SOLD OUT. FPR is sold out of all its tickets and there were only a few remaining tickets at the Beacon. The Beacon has said that some tickets may become available closer to the date of the show. So don’t give up if you are still wanting to go to the show. Keep checking the Beacon Web site.
We know many of you are wondering who will be at Jorma’s 70th Birthday Celebration. Well, let’s just say that most of the special guests have been revealed in your comments. Wink Wink!, Nudge Nudge! However, there is one special artist we want to acknowledge. We are very pleased to have the always exciting Bob Steeler join us Friday night. (12/3) I don’t know what we will be playing, but I’m sure it will be LOUD, FAST and ROCKING! Makes the hair on my neck stand up thinking about it.
What would you like to hear at the show? Some of you have listed your favorite songs, but we want to know more. What are your favorites? What would be your dream set?

If you would like a copy of our Electric Hot Tuna Poster, you can go to the “Press” section of this page and download the PDF of the poster. Put it on a CD and take it to your nearest copy center and have them print you one! Don’t forget to mention it was done by our good friend Kevin Morgan.

Simon cowell and paula abdul dating Midget sex dating
Mariah Carey lies on her chaise under a fox fur blanket while Nick watches television. “So I see you had time to write this Amanda Bynes an entire letter.And yet, still no sign of those flamingo eggs I asked for yesterday.”MTV announces they'll be airing a documentary about Miley Cyrus later this year.He continued: "When I hear all this talk about casting judges, I have to be honest with you, I think this is where they have it wrong.
“It could be if you wanted it to, you know.”Katy doesn't even look up from her Kindle.
She was tough but tender during her seven-year tenure on the show, and we'd personally vote her back on the planned reboot of the musical competition series. During a chat with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford on TODAY Monday, Abdul — who was visiting to promote her tour with New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men — said she was in no "rush rush" to become a judge again.
"I'm excited for the reboot," she said when asked if she'd like to return to the show, which wrapped its 15-season run on Fox last year.
Among those who have been on the judging panel during its run are Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Ellen De Generes, Steven Tyler and Kara Dio Guardi.
The final series will air in January, with judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. This video of a 19-year-old Demi Moore has resurfaced - and people don’t know what to make of it!

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign fined by New York
The campaign of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was fined by the state of NY for failing to provide compensation coverage for its staffers.
Ocasio-Cortez parried back: "To quote Alan Moore: 'None of you understand".
Ocasio-Cortez hasn't proposed any legislation directly related to marijuana yet, although she has only been in Congress for like two weeks now.
The longtime Connecticut Senator went on Neil Cavuto's show on Fox Business Thursday and showed he was one of the growing number of pathetic male politicians who can't handle the freshman Congresswoman.
GOP spokeswoman Jessica Proud called the news "hypocrisy at its finest".
It started when Joe Lieberman, Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore's running mate in the 2000 election who retired in 2013 after serving 24 years as U.S. Senator from CT, was asked if the far-left Ocasio-Cortez represented the future of the Democratic party in an interview with Fox Business Network.
"The so-called champion of workers, when given her own responsibility, is not following the law".
She says the fine, first reported by the New York Daily News, has been paid. I cannot even get laptops to my caseworkers in the Bronx and Queens so they can process the needs of our constituents.
When the US government went into a partial shutdown on December 21, Ocasio-Cortez, even before getting sworn in, said congressional members should forgo their paychecks if 800,000 federal workers had to work without them.
In a comparison that Ocasio-Cortez would surely hate, politicos have pointed out that the NY rep. has "Trumpian" tendencies.
When asked by Anderson Cooper on CBS's 60 Minutes, whether Trump "is a racist", she responded: "Yeah, yeah no question". "I'm a little confused why she's the thing".
From left, new members of Congress Yvette Clarke, Nydia Velazquez, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Carolyn Maloney and Grace Meng stand for a photograph outside the U.S. Capitol.
The US Open Final: Who Will Make it?
The 34-year-old Swiss won the first two sets 6-4 and 7-5, forcing an injured and struggling Djokovic to retire in the third. If she’s at her best, then she’ll make it to the final and if she performs on the day the title will be hers.
Why Is PrepAway Considered to Be the Best Platform for Exam Dumps?
However, it’s not easy to tell which one of those sources offers authentic exam dumps that will help you pass your test. All you need to do is to identify the best site for exam dumps, and you will pass your certification test with flying colors.
Lin-Manuel Miranda brought to tears as 'Hamilton' premieres in Puerto Rico

Burke Gets a Bargain in MacArthur
by Anthony Murphy on 08/30/10 at 02:41 PM ET
In my column from Friday, I suggested the Maple Leafs take a run at free agent Tim Kennedy after Buffalo gave him the pink-slip. Yet a few hours after posting, this – or the addition of any scoring forward – seemed unlikely. As he often does, though, Leafs GM Brian Burke surprised me with his ability to make the best of a bad cap-situation
A trade with Tampa Bay late on Friday added Matt Lashoff to Toronto’s defense corps, bringing their number of NHL-level d-men up to nine and pushing them within $1.5 million of the cap ceiling. Although Lashoff has only played 63 NHL games over the last four seasons, he’ll have to clear waivers this season to be sent down to the AHL, so it looks like the Leafs want him for big-club duty.
By Saturday though, Leafs GM Brian Burke pulled the trigger on a deal that looks even better than what I was proposing with Kennedy. Left wing Clarke MacArthur – another Sabres product – signed with Toronto for a steal at $1.1 million,after Atlanta walked away from his $2.4 million arbitration award. After posting career numbers in both games played (81) and points (31), the 25-year-old is just entering his prime.
While only a year older than Kennedy, MacArthur already has 208 NHL games under his belt, leaving him far more experienced at this level than Kennedy, who has only played in 79. Add in MacArthur’s points-per-game average at 0.42 over Kennedy’s 0.33, and the fact that Toronto will still hold MacArthur’s RFA rights after this season, it’s clear that Burke is getting the most bang for his team’s buck.
With less than $400,000 left in cap space, it’s looking like RFA Christian Hanson will be the odd man out on the Leafs roster. I’ll keep tabs on this story as it develops.

FRANCE: ISLAM AND THE SECULAR STATE / THE FINANCIAL TIMES COMMENT & ANALYSIS

France: Islam and the secular state
The burkini bans have exposed historic tensions that are dividing Muslims and threatening French unity
by: Anne-Sylvaine Chassany
In the summer of 1905, the Catholic cassock, and whether to ban wearing it in the streets, sparked a passionate debate in France. For Charles Chabert, a leftwing MP, the black ankle-length soutane was not just an affront to modernity but a reminder of the threat the monarchist Catholic Church posed to the secular republic that he, and his colleagues, sought to consolidate with a bill enforcing a strict separation of state and religion.
Some priests would find it hard to part with the garment, he conceded, but others, “the most clever, the most educated”, would welcome the ban as liberation. Conjuring up an imaginary cleric, shy and buttoned up, Chabert added: “Look at him. The garb makes him a prisoner of his own ignorance … Of this slave, let’s make a man.”
Aristide Briand, author of the separation bill, disagreed. By policing garments, the state would be perceived as “intolerant”, and, even worse, the subject of “ridicule”, he quipped.
Fast forward 111 years, France is again debating religious garb — this time, the burkini. The dispute, which erupted in August when about 30 mayors banned the full-length Islamic swimwear, has laid bare the old fracture between a hardline, uncompromising vision of secularism and a more liberal one, and once again threatens to tear apart a country still reeling from Islamist terror attacks.
Fear and paranoia have galvanised Chabert’s heirs, says Sudhir Hazareesingh, a lecturer in politics at Oxford and a specialist in French intellectual movements. “Their vision of laïcité [secularism] is one that seeks to regulate religions, it’s characterised by anticlericalism,” Mr Hazareesingh says. “They aim to shape a republican identity. They regard religious beliefs as inferior thinking and a form of alienation.”
As in 1905, when they lost the argument on the soutane, those hardline secularists have suffered a setback on the burkini. France’s highest administrative court overturned the ban issued by Villeneuve-Loubet, a small town on the Riviera, setting a precedent for the other mayors who had taken similar action. The obligation of neutrality applies to the state, not to citizens, who can express their religious beliefs, the Conseil d’Etat said.
Yet, with presidential elections next year and polls suggesting a strong showing by the far-right National Front (FN), the debate has hit a nerve in a country grappling with homegrown jihadism and a sense of economic and cultural decline. The burkini dispute has revived the animosity over the wearing of the Islamic headscarf, or hijab, and brought back into focus the deprived, unemployment-stricken suburbs, or banlieues, where many of those involved in recent Islamist attacks were raised.
Islam and France’s estimated 5m Muslims — one of the largest populations in Europe — have become central to the question of French identity. “Centuries of greatness long gone has created a sense of nostalgia,” says Jean Baubérot, a historian specialising in secularism and a supporter of Mr Briand’s liberal legacy. “For some, Islam has become a scapegoat for all our troubles.”
Secularism vs religión
The backlash, however, goes beyond notions of xenophobia. It is rooted in a longstanding suspicion of religions, underpinned by the idea that faith is a private matter restricted to the home and places of worship. This sets French secularism apart from that of the US or the UK, according to Olivier Roy from the European University Institute in Florence who is a specialist on Islam.
“In America, separation was designed to free religion from state interference, whereas in France separation has evolved to exclude religion from public space and to promote the supremacy of the state over religious organisations,” Mr Roy explains.
For the French, integration means shedding one’s religious beliefs, or at least toning them down.
That’s why they have a hard time understanding that some Muslims, including a growing, well-integrated middle class, may want to express their faith for reasons other than social discrimination or religious extremism, Mr Roy adds.
France banned the hijab in state schools in 2004 and six years later prohibited the face-covering niqab in public spaces. The debate is spreading. Germany is looking at whether to issue a similar niqab ban after an influx of refugees from Syria in the past 18 months.
But in France there are calls for more radical action. Nicolas Sarkozy, the former leader vying to win the centre-right presidential nomination in November, wants to ban the veil in universities and the workplace. Islam, he says, “has not done the work to integrate”. He is tacking to a resurgent FN, whose leader Marine Le Pen wants to extend the hijab ban to all public places.
There are similar echoes on the left, rooted in entrenched anticlericalism and a blend of feminism inspired by Simone de Beauvoir’s fight against Catholic tradition. Manuel Valls, the socialist prime minister, said last month that the burkini and the veil are symbols of the “enslavement of women”.
As Briand did in 1905, other politicians disagree. But in a country where atheists are expected to outnumber all other groups by 2050, according to the Pew Research Center, this is a widely shared view. Nearly two-thirds of French adults oppose the wearing of the hijab in the streets or the burkini on beaches, according to an Ifop survey.
Among them, Patrick and Claudine, a couple from Nice who declined to give their surnames, firmly believe that “religion is for the home”. They have no sympathy for the FN, which attracted more than a third of the votes in recent elections in the Nice region, but do support the centre-right mayor’s burkini ban. “Religion is not something one should display,” says Claudine, 59. “Religions have always caused trouble.”
Living a few metres from the Promenade des Anglais, the seafront where in July a Tunisian truck driver killed 86 people celebrating Bastille Day, including many Muslims, they say the massacre — for which Isis claimed responsibility — has left them with questions over the loyalty of the Muslim community.
“We didn’t feel a strong reaction on their part,” Patrick says. In nearby Villeneuve-Loubet, Elisabeth, a 56-year-old topless beachgoer, is more explicit. “They [Muslims] want to impose their way of life. If they want to settle here, then they should do as we do.”
‘The state has let us down’
Muslim groups argue the bans are a visible sign of the mounting Islamophobia in France.
Laïcité, they argue, has become the respectable excuse. More than 429 anti-Muslim acts — everything from insults to physical attacks on people and property — were reported last year, a threefold increase on 2014, according to the government.
Ndella Paye, who describes herself as a Muslim feminist and anti-racist activist, believes the burkini bans are a manifestation of the sexist and colonial attitude of the French establishment.
“We are told that to be free, we need to undress. And by whom? By white mayors and white feminists stuck in the 1970s,” says the 42-year old, who wears a hijab. Muslim women in France are ostracised, she says. “They can’t go to schools, they can’t go to work, they can’t go to the beach or the swimming pool. The French are worse than the Saudis.”
Other female Muslims disagree. Nadia Ould-Kaci and Nadia Benmissi, residents of Aubervilliers, a suburb in northern Paris, say Islamic fundamentalists are trying to impose their rule on the area. It has become difficult to walk, shop or go to restaurants for women who, like them, choose not to wear the hijab, they say.
“It’s not just teenagers or converts who wear the hijab now. There is an increasing number of young girls all covered up,” Ms Benmissi says. The 62-year old was born in Algeria, where she did not wear the hijab. Yet, in Aubervilliers, she gets daily intrusive remarks. “Last time I was shopping, a man looked into my bag and said: ‘This is not halal.’ There is always someone to remind you that you are not a good Muslim here.”
The hijab is not just a piece of cloth, she insists. “We talk a lot about freedom, but what about gender equality? Why is this not as important? The veil symbolises the unequal status of women,” Ms Benmissi says.
In Sevran, north-east of Paris, Nadia Remadna, a French-born social worker, fumes about Muslim feminists like Ms Paye. “These women think that progress is when they can pray behind the men, instead of in the basement,” she says. When she was 15, her father took her back to his home town in Algeria. For 10 years, Ms Remadna stopped going to school and was forced to stay at home — until she fled back to France.
So when she saw her son removing pictures of her from the family album because he found them “immodest”, she started fretting. Later she overheard an older boy rebuking a younger one at her son’s high school, because he “had not seen [him] at the mosque” the night before.
She was shocked to find out the older boy was not a student, but a school supervisor employed by the state.
“You entrust the state with your children, you think they are protected from religion in state schools and this happens,” she says. “Laïcité is not enforced in the banlieues.” Local politicians strike deals with local Salafists [followers of an ultra-conservative movement within Sunni Islam] to get votes and maintain public order in the banlieues, she says. “The state has let us down.”
Rise of conservatism
The emergence over the past three decades of the hijab in the banlieues has coincided with increasing religious conservatism and gender segregation. Research by Gilles Kepel, a professor at Sciences Po, shows that the influence of Salafist movements has grown in these areas in the past 20 years, especially among second-generation immigrants. It has, says Mr Kepel, provided fertile ground for Islamist extremism.
Field work by Jennifer Selby, a Canadian scholar, in Petit Nanterre, a poor district west of Paris, underlines the growing influence of religion on daily life — the women stay at home, the men, many of whom are unemployed, spend their time monitoring the whereabouts of female residents.
Those neighbourhoods are increasingly populated by Muslim families, who grapple with high unemployment, discrimination and oppressive panoptic architecture — towers that allow someone to observe everyone without being seen themselves, says Ms Selby.
The government has poured €40bn into renovation of these districts over four decades, but unemployment is still higher than the 10 per cent national average and the estates are plagued by crime.
Mr Roy says: “Ghettoisation is a huge issue, Salafists are filling a void left by the state. But this problem is not going to be solved by policing the hijab.”
More regulation of religious signs would be counterproductive, says Mr Baubérot. “Should we consider all Muslims as enemies of the republic at the risk of stigmatising them?” he asks.
In 1905, the decision was to try and include the vast majority of Catholics and it worked: with time they embraced the republic and on the eve of the first world war, France was united, he says. “We are wrong to forget the lessons of history,” adds Mr Baubérot.
Building bridges: Secular republic seeks to create an ‘Islam of France’
The 1905 law separating church and state is clear: the French state must not interfere with religious matters. It does not fund and does not meddle with religious groups. However, there is a notable exception. Alsace-Lorraine, annexed by Germany between 1871 and 1918, is still ruled by the Napoleonic Concordat system, whereby priests are paid by the state.
Unlike the UK or the US, the secular republic does not collect statistics on religious faiths or ethnic groups. This refusal has long irritated economists and policymakers looking to measure and address discrimination. Supporters, who outnumber those opposing the policy, argue it avoids affirmative action policies and community lobbying, widely seen as a source of division.
Over the past decade, the government has sought to give Islam an institutional structure.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the former centre-right president, pushed for the creation of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, set up in 2003, to represent the country’s Muslims. Following the burkini row, Socialist president François Hollande set up a state-backed Foundation for French Islam. Jean-Pierre Chevènement, a former Socialist interior minister and staunch secularist, is to preside over the body.
It is designed to “build an Islam of France respectful of Republican values”, according to Bernard Cazeneuve, the current interior minister.
Officially, the foundation will not deal with religion — it will fund educational research and cultural projects. It will also offer training on the rule of law, France’s secular system and gender equality. A separate, privately funded religious body will be set up to train imams.
Critics, however, have already labelled it a patronising attempt to regulate French Muslims.
FED GOES FROM ZIRP TO NIRP ! / THEGOLDANDOILGUY.COM

Fed Goes From ZIRP to NIRP!
The Fed has not followed through on their numerous promises of a rate increase that Yellen and other Fed officials have made over the past several years. She spoke about purchasing assets of private companies, and also mentioned that the Fed could modify its inflation target.
Investors will most likely purchase shares in companies whose assets have been purchased by the Fed since it is likely that Congress and federal regulators would treat these companies as “too big to fail.” Federal ownership of private companies would also strengthen the movement to force businesses to base their decisions on political rather than economic considerations.
Politicians will never restore sound money policies unless forced to do so by either an economic crisis or a shift in public sentiment, not because of a crisis leaving Congress with no other choice!
The failure of the Fed’s eight-year spree of money creation through Quantitative Easing and historically low interest rates have failed to restart the failing economy. They continue to add new tools to artificiality inflate the stock bubble. They will stop at nothing as they discuss implementing NIRP (Negative Interest Rate Policy).
The collapse of the fiat system will not only cause a major economic crisis, but also the collapse of capitalism as we know it. Congress has also failed the American people and its economy by refusing to consider meaningful spending cuts. It will not even pass legislation to audit the Red.
The Fed Has Lost Even More Of Its Credibility!
Governor Fischer has lost all his credibility. He predicted four rate hikes at the beginning of the year for 2016. His speech on August 21st, 2016 on the slowdown in productivity: “We just don’t know.” Last week, he was down to two rate hikes for the year.
The perceived first takeaway on the meeting at Jackson Hole was the one that made all the headlines.
Yellen is joining the “chorus” of Fed officials who have been saying it is time for another rate hike:
“Indeed, in light of the continued solid performance of the labor market and our outlook for economic activity and inflation, I believe the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has strengthened in recent months.” This appears to be the Fed’s new mantra. She added, “And, as ever, the economic outlook is uncertain, and so monetary policy is not on a preset course. When shocks occur and the economic outlook changes, monetary policy needs to adjust. What we do know, however, is that we want a policy toolkit that will allow us to respond to a wide range of possible conditions.” The Fed now calls that “forward guidance.” In other words, they just do not know!
Yellen did mention that QE purchases could be broadened to other assets. The real Fed Fund Rate has been trading deeply “negative” since 2008.
Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIIRP) Is Dangerous!
Yellen has now established the fact that it is legal for the Fed to authorize the use of NIRP. She has now put it into her tool box and is developing specific plans for implementing it.
The consensus is dangerously wrong by relying on flawed theory and flawed policy assessment.
NIRP draws on fallacious, pre-Keynesian economic logic that asserts interest rate adjustments can ensure full employment. The consensus is dangerously wrong, resting on flawed theory and flawed policy assessment. A negative nominal rate on money being held by your bank can be thought of as a form of a tax on deposits that lowers “real wealth” and negative wealth effort on consumer spending and aggregate demand.
Gold In Your Portfolio
Investors should consider doubling their gold allocations amid negative interest rates. The long-term effects of these policies are unknown, but I see discouraging side effects: unstable asset price inflation, swelling balance sheets and currency wars to name a few. Looking forward, government bonds are likely to have limited upside due to their low-to-negative yields.
Amid Higher Market Uncertainty
We have entered a new and unprecedented phase in monetary policy. Central Banks in Europe, Japan, and soon in the United States have implemented Negative Interest Rate Policies (NIRP).
Investors, including long-term investors, should assess the implications of holding bonds with negative return expectations on portfolio composition and risk management.
My analysis shows that investors will benefit from increasing their gold holdings up to 2.5 times, depending on the asset mix, even under conservative assumptions for gold. In addition, we expect that demand for gold as a portfolio asset may structurally increase due to NIRP.
The only “recovery” that we have experienced has been an artificially inflated recovery on Wall Street. For the rest of the country, our long-term economic decline continues.
Secular investors should start turning their attention to commodities and precious metals.
Gold’s bull market is far from over. The volatility in the gold price in recent days is principally due to sharp fluctuations in the expected path of US rates amid surprises in the macro data and diverge ring comments from Fed officials. The recent consolidations were fueled by profit taking will end shortly. The next Fed meeting will result in more dovish Fed speech, resulting in new and more purchases.
When investors realize that they are holding potentially worthless currencies, the big money will rush into the precious metals sector. Consider this, the total world’s investment holdings in silver are a paltry $50.8 billion, compared to $3.04 trillion in gold, as shown in the below.
Did you know that the hedge funds alone manage around $2.7 trillion, according to Barclay Hedge data? Even if a small portion of the trillions sloshing around out there, decides to enter into silver, the white metal’s price will shoot through the roof.
The difficulty in identifying asset bubbles is directly related to credit expansion. The problem is not the asset bubbles, whether they be in stocks, housing, or student loans. This is merely a symptom of a deeper condition. The real threat is the underlying credit expansion by easy monetary policies that has created these asset bubble problems in the first place.
THE SUPERSTAR COMPANY: A GIANT PROBLEM / THE ECONOMIST

The superstar company
A giant problem
The rise of the corporate colossus threatens
DISRUPTION may be the buzzword in boardrooms, but the most striking feature of business today is not the overturning of the established order. It is the entrenchment of a group of superstar companies at the heart of the global economy. Some of these are old firms, like GE, that have reinvented themselves. Some are emerging-market champions, like Samsung, which have seized the opportunities provided by globalisation. The elite of the elite are high-tech wizards—Google, Apple, Facebook and the rest—that have conjured up corporate empires from bits and bytes.
As our special report this week makes clear, the superstars are admirable in many ways. They churn out products that improve consumers’ lives, from smarter smartphones to sharper televisions. They provide Americans and Europeans with an estimated $280 billion-worth of “free” services—such as search or directions—a year. But they have two big faults. They are squashing competition, and they are using the darker arts of management to stay ahead.
Neither is easy to solve. But failing to do so risks a backlash which will be bad for everyone.
More concentration, less focus
Bulking up is a global trend. The annual number of mergers and acquisitions is more than twice what it was in the 1990s. But concentration is at its most worrying in America. The share of GDP generated by America’s 100 biggest companies rose from about 33% in 1994 to 46% in 2013. The five largest banks account for 45% of banking assets, up from 25% in 2000. In the home of the entrepreneur, the number of startups is lower than it has been at any time since the 1970s. More firms are dying than being born. Founders dream of selling their firms to one of the giants rather than of building their own titans.
For many laissez-faire types this is only a temporary problem. Modern technology is lowering barriers to entry; flaccid incumbents will be destroyed by smaller, leaner ones. But the idea that market concentration is self-correcting is more questionable than it once was. Slower growth encourages companies to buy their rivals and squeeze out costs. High-tech companies grow more useful to customers when they attract more users and when they gather ever more data about those users.
The heft of the superstars also reflects their excellence at less productive activities. About 30% of global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows through tax havens; big companies routinely use “transfer pricing” to pretend that profits generated in one part of the world are in fact made in another. The giants also deploy huge armies of lobbyists, bringing the same techniques to Brussels, where 30,000 lobbyists now walk the corridors, that they perfected in Washington, DC. Laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank, to say nothing of America’s tax code, penalise small firms more than large ones.
None of this helps the image of big business. Paying tax seems to be unavoidable for individuals but optional for firms. Rules are unbending for citizens, and up for negotiation when it comes to companies. Nor do profits translate into jobs as once they did. In 1990 the top three carmakers in Detroit had a market capitalisation of $36 billion and 1.2m employees. In 2014 the top three firms in Silicon Valley, with a market capitalisation of over $1 trillion, had only 137,000 employees.
Anger at all this is understandable, but an inchoate desire to bash business leaves everyone worse off.
Disenchantment with pro-business policies, particularly liberal immigration rules, helped the “outs” to win the Brexit referendum in Britain and Donald Trump to seize the Republican nomination. Protectionism and nativism will only lower living standards. Reining in the giants requires the scalpel, not the soapbox.
That means a tough-but-considered approach to issues such as tax avoidance. The OECD countries have already made progress in drawing up common rules to prevent companies from parking money in tax havens, for example. They have more to do, not least to address the convenient fiction that different units of multinationals are really separate companies. But better the grind of multilateral negotiation than moves such as the European Commission’s recent attempt to impose retrospective taxes on Apple in Ireland.
Concentration is an even harder problem. America in particular has got into the habit of giving the benefit of the doubt to big business. This made some sense in the 1980s and 1990s when giant companies such as General Motors and IBM were being threatened by foreign rivals or domestic upstarts. It is less defensible now that superstar firms are gaining control of entire markets and finding new ways to entrench themselves.
Prudent policymakers must reinvent antitrust for the digital age. That means being more alert to the long-term consequences of large firms acquiring promising startups. It means making it easier for consumers to move their data from one company to another, and preventing tech firms from unfairly privileging their own services on platforms they control (an area where the commission, in its pursuit of Google, deserves credit). And it means making sure that people have a choice of ways of authenticating their identity online.
The rise of the giants is a reversal of recent history. In the 1980s big companies were on the retreat, as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan took a wrecking ball to state-protected behemoths such as AT&T and British Leyland. But there are some worrying similarities to a much earlier era. In 1860-1917 the global economy was reshaped by the rise of giant new industries (steel and oil) and revolutionary new technologies (electricity and the combustion engine). These disruptions led to brief bursts of competition followed by prolonged periods of oligopoly. The business titans of that age reinforced their positions by driving their competitors out of business and cultivating close relations with politicians. The backlash that followed helped to destroy the liberal order in much of Europe.
So, by all means celebrate the astonishing achievements of today’s superstar companies. But also watch them. The world needs a healthy dose of competition to keep today’s giants on their toes and to give those in their shadow a chance to grow.

Europe Through the Eyes of the Next Generation
A quarter million young Europeans spent this summer rolling through the Continent on an Interrail ticket. Conversations with the travelers reveal a younger generation that understands the EU better than their elders might think.
By Juan Moreno
Matteo Leone and Simone Bruno may not know it yet, but they are having the best summer of their lives. They've completed their exams and now they're on vacation -- and "you can't spend it better than we are," says Matteo. In the last couple of weeks, they've visited Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. Last night, they slept in Prague and the train that is just now rolling into Prague Central Station will whisk them off toward Munich. From there, they are planning to head down to Split on Croatia's glittering Adriatic coast.
Matteo and Simone are both 20-year-old architecture students from Florence, and they are both a lot of fun. For the last three weeks, they have been traveling through Europe on an Interrail pass, the European equivalent of the Eurail ticket. Matteo tosses his backpack onto the ground, pleased with himself and his vacation. He has a couple of Internet photos from Croatian inlets he wants to visit on his mobile phone.
"Just look at that blue!" he gushes. He's extremely excited to get to the seaside -- and it really is a beautiful shade of blue.
For the duration of their four-week trip, Europe is a giant playground for these two Italians, a place of adventure that stands open to them, equal parts foreign and familiar. There are no impediments, just opportunities. They can sit in the train as it zips across the Continent and wonder if they perhaps want to live here, or maybe there. And the dream isn't even as absurd as it would have been for their grandparents. It's possible.
It is said that Interrail is not an educational trip because travelers spend most of their time in trains, stations and hostels. Because they just want to party. So I ask Simone and Matteo of Florence: How many Europeans have they met on their journey?
'What a Stupid Question!'
"A lot, a hell of a lot. At least five a day, I'd say, so around 100. But that can't be right -- that's not enough. More, more than 100," says Matteo.
And which nationalities can you simply not stand? Which country shouldn't belong to the EU?
Matteo looks surprised. "None, of course. What a stupid question!"
The Interrail pass has been around for 44 years. The offer -- an idea created by the Austrians, Swiss, Belgians and Dutch -- was presented in 1972 for the 50th anniversary of the International Union of Railways (UIC). The term "flat rate" didn't yet exist, but the offer marked the introduction of what is essentially a flat rate for Europe's train system: a month of freedom in 21 European countries available to everyone aged 21 and under. Almost all connections were included and it could be had for a single price -- or, rather, several different prices at the time: 1,700 shillings, 27.50 pounds or 235 deutsche marks, for example.
The German chancellor at the time was Willy Brandt and, long before Interrail's introduction, he had given voice to a dream: "The day will come when the hate that appears so inevitable in times of war will be overcome. A Europe in which Europeans can live must become a reality."
The train to Munich isn't very full. Matteo and Simone each get a seat along with an extra one for their backpacks so they can lean against them for a bit of sleep. They have been surprised at how little time they are actually spending in trains. European trains no longer bump along like they used to -- instead racing from place to place in the era of high-speed rail. It takes only 2.5 hours to get from Paris to London and the trip from Madrid to Barcelona, fully 600 kilometers, can be covered in just a little over three hours. From Paris to Marseille, it's just three hours and four from Munich to Vienna.
The two nod off, although they should actually be well-rested. One big problem facing Interrailers is that almost all hostels require that guests leave their rooms by 10 a.m. Even in your early 20s, it's not possible to party through the night and get up early for four straight weeks. For Matteo and Simone, being forced to get out by 10 is the height of incivility.
The Morning Routine
So they've come up with a trick: They wake up way too late, well after 10, calmly pack their things and slouch to the reception. That's where they start their show, speaking loudly and passionately, usually both at the same time. There are, after all, clichés about the Italians, and one must do what one can to live up to them. They claim the outlet at their bedside was broken, which is why their phones didn't recharge, which is why their alarm didn't go off, which is why they didn't leave their room until after 10, which is why they aren't to be blamed -- which is why "è assolutamente not okay" to be forced to pay the late-checkout fee.
No hostel employee has either the time or the inclination to check the outlet. And their ruse works nine times out of 10.
Their morning routine continues once they leave the hostel, as they look for a fast-food restaurant, usually a McDonald's or Burger King, for breakfast. "My mother would strangle me if she knew that I was having a hamburger for breakfast every day for a month," says Matteo. But they've each only budgeted 10 euros per day for food. "If you do Interrail, you should like döner and panini. And you shouldn't be afraid of diabetes."
Nobody knew in 1972 that one of Willy Brandt's greatest legacies would turn out to be a train ticket. Since then, more than 8 million Interrail passes have been sold, around 1.5 million of them in Germany alone, more than any other country except Britain. Last year, 250,000 tickets were sold across Europe, the highest number in years.
Interrail quickly turned into a kind of peace movement, an antidote against prejudice and a way to clear away the mental rubble left over from the war. Whereas grandpa may associate France with Verdun, England with nighttime bombing raids and Spain with Franco, granddaughter doesn't care. She rattles unshowered in second class through this beautiful Continent, seducing the boys on the beach at Rimini.
The first years after the introduction of Interrail were a period of consolidation, with the train of progress leading to economic growth and prosperity across Europe. Country after country got on board for the journey. But then, when the train began to slow -- at a time when peace was no longer a goal but reality -- many began yearning for times past, for the era of postwar rubble. Some say we are already there.
Worried about a Crumbling Europe?
Britain doesn't know what it wants, just that it shouldn't be European, and voted in favor of Brexit. Catholic Poland has interpreted solidarity and mercy to mean receiving net payments from Brussels worth around 10 billion euros a year and in return, offering protection to around 400 refugees. Hungary doesn't want to help anyone at all, and to prevent that fact from getting out, it has adopted media laws that would make African despots proud. Finland is considering getting rid of the euro. And France, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Germany all have growing legions of bellyachers who would rather go it alone than continue as a group.
Willy Brandt was wrong. A war isn't necessary to hate Europe.
Are Matteo and Simone, the two Italians lounging in the train to Munich, worried about their futures, about the banking crisis in Italy and about a crumbling Europe? "Yes, of course," Matteo says. "But only in the fall."
"We're optimists," Matteo says, a claim supported by the subject they have chosen to study. They are both students of architecture in Florence, a city where nothing has been built for the last 400 years.
Interrail is the extended break between fun and real life, between school and office. It is a different state of being, and the rules are simple.
Upon arrival, you leave the train station and begin the search for a youth hostel. Once there, you get to know other Interrailers who have just arrived before googling a couple of local sights. Sometimes, you head out for a look and take pictures to send back to your parents, to whom you insisted that such a trip would be educational. Sometimes, though, you just send photos that you found on the Internet, especially when the city has a beach, which are perfect places for a nap. At night, you head out on the town, every evening for four long weeks. A bar, a club, a square where young people gather, a street festival. It really makes no difference, there is always something going on.
"We stay one, two or three days and then catch up on our sleep on the train," says Simone.
"I'll sleep when I get back to Italy," says Matteo. "There is no cheaper vacation available."
The so-called Global Pass costs 479 euros for a month of unlimited travel in 30 countries. Matteo and Simone bought the pass allowing them 15 days of travel in a month for 361 euros, or 24 euros per travel day. It's their summer, their youth, their Continent.
Your worries.
Munich Central Station to Verona Porta Nuova
Departure: 7:38 a.m.
Arrival 1:13 p.m.
The Eurocity creaks and groans as it slowly begins moving, embarking on the five hour and 35 minute trip to Verona. When you do an Interrail month, you quickly realize just how small Europe actually is. Jamie Anderson and Jenny Aczel, both 18-year-olds from Exeter in southwestern England, have been on the road for three weeks and have left Italy for the very end of their trip. Venice is to be the end of the road. Of course Venice. One is tempted to tell them that Venice is an awful, degenerated Italian romantic theme park overrun with tourists. But it is also true that only those who have forgotten what it was like to stand in love on Piazza San Marco for the first time would say something that stupid.
Jamie, with his soft, deep voice, and Jenny, who is a bit more frenetic, are both waiting for the results of their university admissions exams. They are important weeks for both of them, perhaps even vital for the rest of their lives. Will their scores only be good enough for an average English university, which, the past has shown, tends only to pave the way for an average English career? They have decided not to think about it "because it would drive us crazy."
Complaining doesn't get you anywhere, but an Interrail ticket does: Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Brussels, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Venice. Sixty euros a day for two has to be enough, and it is. "You have a lot of picnics in parks."
Jamie sees the question coming before I even get around to asking and answers it before we get too far from Munich. This summer, everyone who meets a Brit on the road asks the same thing. "Yes, we voted Remain. And yes, it feels terrible to be out." Jenny says that it was the first real vote she had participated in since turning 18, and then this. "Seriously, I wanted to print a T-shirt for this trip saying that I'm British and that I don't want to leave the EU."
A Crisis of Old People
Politics dominates the first several minutes of our conversation, just like it used to. Interrail has always felt a bit like a diplomatic mission. When you get on the train in a foreign country, it's easy to strike up a conversation with others and you quickly become the expert on political developments back home. Back when compartments were the rule rather than the exception and passengers sat facing each other, such conversations happened much more frequently. In modern trains, with their "leave-me-alone" rows of seats, it has become more difficult.
Jamie, who intends to study geography, didn't sleep on the night of the referendum. He thought about going into politics after all "to reverse the insanity," but he ultimately didn't dare.
He believes it was elderly voters who drove the country out of the EU. Indeed, he sees them as being the problem. "These bitter old people. They really don't care what happens to us. The vote wasn't about the future, it was about what they don't like about today."
It is a sentiment that one hears often from Interrailers this summer: The crisis of Europe is a crisis of old people. Young people, meanwhile, are quite happy with Europe. Eighty percent of British voters between the ages of 18 and 24 didn't want to leave the EU.
But in this respect, the United Kingdom is just like the rest of Europe: The older generations determine where the country is heading. There are more of them. And although they have it much better than their parents ever did, they are extremely angry.
In 1950, 8.2 percent of Europeans were over the age of 64, but by 2050, it will be 28 percent. Advancing age might explain a lot: Why the Continent seems so afraid, for example, and is constantly demanding more fences, more border controls and more police despite being safer than it ever has been. Why it has become so mistrustful, so suspicious of its neighbors and so erratic. This anger, this mood is familiar to us all. You see it sometimes in retirees who become enraged at every piece of garbage they see in the park. Or on the bus, when an old lady wearing a hat unloads her contempt for the world on someone just because they didn't stand up from the disabled seat quickly enough.
That is the mood that Jamie is referring to.
Paris Gare du Nord to London St. Pancras
Departure 3:13 p.m.
Amira Erden is a Muslim sociology student from Turkey who is traveling by herself. She began her Interrail trip in Norway and has traveled to London by way of Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Germany and France. A thoughtful, reserved woman with short, brown hair and dark eyes, she has just arrived from Paris and is impressed by the monumental reception hall in St. Pancras Station. Her cousin, who is coming to pick her up, is stuck in traffic, so she has a few minutes to kill.
"I know that Europe has problems," Amira says. "And I also know that they are the kinds of problems that I would love to have."
Her trip was a spontaneous decision; she just wanted to get out of Istanbul after a professor of hers was arrested. She still doesn't know why he was taken into custody. She only knows that during a recent lecture, he had suggested that the living conditions of Syrian refugees living in Istanbul should be scientifically researched. The Turkish Interior Ministry, though, expressly forbade it. Plus, he had been considered a leftist ever since participating in the anti-government protests three years ago on Taksim Square.
"Interrail makes me sad," she says, saying that talking with other travelers was difficult. They speak of Europe, but they mean the EU. How should you explain to people in Germany or France, particularly young people, that you have to be careful about who you confide in at university? That you can be imprisoned for your thoughts?
Amira has only one problem with Europe, but it is a big one. "You take it all for granted. You should be grateful."
Naiveté and Knowledge
Barcelona Sants Estació to Madrid Atocha
Departure 11 a.m.
They just finished renovating the station in Barcelona. It is now very bright, extremely modern and there are way too many shops. One of my first realizations from this Summer 2016 Interrail trip is that European central stations have been transformed into shopping centers with train connections.
It is hardly a surprise that Barcelona is overrun with tourists. And ever since Turkish politicians have decided to do everything in their power to make Turkey an unattractive Mediterranean travel destination, even more are coming.
Felicitas Kern, Lea Meier and Rike Schepers, all of whom just reached the age of majority, are waiting on a bench embracing their backpacks. The fast train is about to leave for Madrid and from there they are planning to continue onward to Lisbon. All three are from Berlin. Felicitas, with blonde hair and beautiful eyes, says: "I had to do it. My parents insisted. They met each other on Interrail."
And? What have you found?
"What should I say? Well, just how amazingly nice the people are."
It sounds so young. So naïve. Felicitas is convinced that this Continent is packed full of friendly people. To prove that Felicitas is right, her friend Rike describes the most typical of all Interrail problems. They encountered it yesterday.
Their train from Marseille only got to Barcelona very late, after 10 p.m., raising an obvious question.
Do you spend the money on a hostel? Or should you see if you can get by without one, since it's only dark for a few hours in summer? With the price of rooms exorbitant in Barcelona in high season, the answer was clear.
"Until about 2 a.m., you think, it's not so bad. But by 4 a.m., you totally regret it. Passersby gave us money because they thought we were homeless. One woman came up to us and asked how she could help."
Their parents told them that it used to be possible to sleep in night trains, and sometimes even in train stations. But that's no longer the case. These days, there are a lot fewer night trains and station benches almost all now have armrests, presumably only to keep Interrailers from stretching out across four seats for a bit of shut-eye.
To be completely on the safe side, many train stations are now completely closed up for the night. In some European cities, it seems that the station security guards' only responsibility is that of waking up travelers who have had the presumption to fall asleep.
But it's not just the stations that have changed. Interrail traveling is quite a bit different than it used to be. You used to flip through mountains of timetables to plot the perfect route, only to immediately discard it because you met someone who had an even better plan. Trips were generally made overnight so as to save money on lodging and you shared the jam-packed trains heading south from Northern Europe with immigrant guest-worker families going home for vacation. Your parents only learned how you were doing two weeks after you'd already returned home -- when the postcard you sent from Greece finally arrived.
Today, many Interrail travelers make reservations for all of their overnight stays on the Internet before they leave. You know where you are going to sleep, mom and dad know where you're going to sleep and you can no longer be spontaneous.
Spontaneity has become expensive -- and sometimes impossible, because some European rail carriers require seat reservations and have limited the number of seats made available to those traveling with Interrail passes. In France and Spain, you can't just jump on the next train heading your way. Some older Interrailers will say that it isn't Interrail at all anymore.
And of course, you used to spend a lot more time on the train. Forty-eight hours in a packed train from Dortmund to Thessaloniki, most of the time sitting next to a toilet that already began stinking way back in Germany.
Vienna Central Station to Budapest Keleti
Departure 11:42 a.m.
The handle-bar-mustachioed racist that the Austrian rail company assigned as conductor on this train is yelling. Half the train can hear him. Why can't this "scum" stay in their "filthy shit country?" he screams. The "scum" he is referring to are two Roma children and their mother and they are on their way to Budapest. They just boarded in Vienna and are sitting on the steps near the toilet. They apparently have incorrect tickets. Calling crying children "scum" is likely only possible when, in place of your heart, you have only a pile of Tyrolean cow shit.
Henry, Jonathan and Leo, whose names were changed for this story, don't hear any of it. They are sitting at a table a few cars away -- and it is immediately obvious that they are Interrailers.
When you buy your ticket, you are given a narrow, yellow-green arm band, and many wear them so they can be recognized.
The three set off from Karlsruhe one week ago and have three weeks of traveling ahead of them. And they're already broke. Jonathan wants to become a doctor, Henry hopes to study business and Leo isn't sure yet but is leaning toward architecture. They are young and this is their first serious trip without their parents -- parents who insisted that their real names not be used in this story.
It all started when the three decided to go "have another drink" in Vienna.
They just graduated from a top-tier German high school and really should have known that a bar with pink neon on the facade and darkened windows -- and with a name like Hot Flamingo's Bar -- isn't just a watering hole. But again, the three are quite young and the three women who welcomed them inside were "totally hot," as Henry describes them.
Liquid Courage
As was the woman who slowly undressed on stage. At some point, they found themselves sitting at a table with the three women. It was, it seemed, their lucky day, with the women telling them that for three such good looking young men, they were willing to make an exception to the house rule mandating "look but don't touch." First, though, the girls had to drink a bit of liquid courage, in the form of champagne.
"In the end, it cost us over 3,000 euros, pretty much everything we had," says Henry, who still wears braces. And no, insists Jonathan, nothing untoward happened.
Three dumb kids, one might think. Let them out to travel around for just a single week, and they get fleeced in the first strip club they see in Vienna. But then, if you take a bit of time to listen and just let them talk, it's not long before you notice just how refreshing it is to hear about Europe's future from people who will still be around to experience it.
"It's probably not financially viable," says Jonathan, "but it would probably be a good idea to give every European an Interrail ticket for their 18th birthday so they don't believe the crap coming from the AfD." He's referring to the anti-Islamic, right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany that is currently making inroads in the country.
It's not that difficult to come up with a rough estimate of how much it would cost. With 5.5 million 18-year-olds in Europe, the total would be in the neighborhood of 2 billion euros, or around 1.5 percent of the EU budget. The bank bailout was more expensive than that.
Four Weeks Off to Be Free
"And when it comes to the euro," says Leo, "I'm going to be sure to tell everybody that the currency exchange windows at Prague central station charge 19.9 percent to exchange euros for Czech crowns."
In talking to them, it becomes clear that these three young men have taken only these four weeks off to be free. To be young. To screw up in a strip club called Hot Flamingo.
After that, it's back to real life. Jonathan, the future doctor, plans to work in a hospital next month while the other two have internships lined up. They are quite a bit more disciplined than similar young men and women were 30 years ago. None of them will end up staying for 30 semesters at university, as was not uncommon in Germany and other European countries not that long ago. Employers no longer overlook such things. Their parents were of a generation that took things as they came -- and they've raised their children differently.
There are lots of studies showing that Jonathan, Henry and Leo are not exceptions. The young men and women of today are more focused on their careers, more politically aware and more optimistic than the generation that preceded them. They are more likely to get their diploma from a university prep high school, they speak better English, they take the risk of terror seriously but nevertheless believe that it's not therefore necessary to turn Europe into a walled fortress. Didn't it used to be that the young ones were crazy and old ones were thoughtful?
FISCAL POLICY MAKES A QUIET TURN TOWARD STIMULUS / THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Fiscal Policy Makes a Quiet Turn Toward Stimulus
Shift in political winds toward populism weakens appetite for austerity
By Greg Ip

For years, the world has looked to central banks to deploy whatever tools they had to prop up economic growth. Now, just as those tools reach their limits, governments are quietly stepping up.
Fiscal policy across the developed world is collectively turning more stimulative for the first time since the end of the recession.
This may be the most underappreciated economic development of the year. While the scale of the stimulus is modest in dollar terms, it signals a more profound shift in the political winds.
Globally, the rise of political populism has pushed deficits down the list of priorities while elevating tax cuts and benefits for the working class. With enough critical mass, such measures could persuade central banks to rethink their own super-easy monetary policies, which would undermine the case for today’s rock-bottom bond yields and pricey stocks.
The fiscal shift is easy to miss, because rhetorically at least, governments remain devoted to cutting their debts. But numbers tell a different story. In major economies including the U.S., Japan and Britain, budget deficits will either be larger this year than last, or larger than originally targeted. J.P. Morgan JPM -0.14 % economists believe that fiscal policy will be positive for developed economy growth this year, instead of neutral or negative, for the first time since 2009.
While that impetus is projected to fade next year, events may dictate otherwise, especially in the U.S., where more borrowing is implicit in both presidential candidates’ plans. This week, Republican Donald Trump unveiled a raft of proposed subsidies and tax breaks for child care and maternity leave, not typically a Republican priority, without saying how they’d be paid for other than cutting waste and abuse.
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
The near-term catalyst for the fiscal turn was Britain’s vote to leave the European Union on June 23. Not only did the resulting uncertainty threaten global economic growth, it also alerted centrist political parties to how unhappy voters are with the economic status quo.
British chancellor George Osborne quickly abandoned his goal of a budget surplus by 2020. He was nonetheless sacked by the new prime minister, Theresa May, who has moved the ruling Conservative Party in a more populist direction that emphasizes inequality, homeownership and corporate responsibility and dwells less on the budget deficit.
Similar dynamics have also unfolded in the eurozone. In July, the European Commission elected not to fine Portugal and Spain for missing their deficit-reduction targets.
Not only did Germany’s finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, the bloc’s de facto debt policeman, support the decision; he has turned less austere at home, promising more than $2 billion worth of tax cuts and increased child benefits in 2017 and $17 billion of tax cuts in 2018.
To be sure, these measures are small, and they merely keep Germany’s budget surplus from growing. But Jacob Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute for International Economics thinks bigger stimulus could be in store. Chancellor Angela Merkel is losing support to the populist anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany and “needs the tax cuts to placate restive colleagues,” he says. He notes elections will take place in France, Germany and the Netherlands next year, and possibly Spain and Italy, which will further sap the appetite for debt reduction.
For Japan, the impetus was both Brexit and the Bank of Japan 8301 12.79 % ’s introduction of negative interest rates this year, which failed to work as planned; the yen went up and stocks went down. In August, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe unveiled a $73 billion package of infrastructure spending, cash handouts to poor families, and other stimulative measures.
In the U.S., budget caps enacted in 2011 have already been loosened. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, is campaigning to boost spending on countless programs, from college education to infrastructure, mostly financed with higher taxes on the rich.
Whether she can get those through Congress is another question. Republicans in Congress would almost certainly grant Mr. Trump part of his wish list, which includes big spending boosts and sweeping tax cuts, virtually none of them paid for.
Mr. Trump’s rise demonstrates that austerity has lost the political energy it had in 2010. “It is the natural inclination of politicians to want to spend more when you have prolonged periods of low economic growth,” says Mr. Kirkegaard. “In that sense we are reverting to the norm.”
Central bankers can take credit for the shift. As the benefits of zero to negative rates have shrunk and the side effects risen, they have exhorted finance ministers to take up the burden of supporting growth. The low rates they have engineered have drastically reduced the cost of servicing debt, which reduces the risk of a debt crisis and delivers finance ministers a windfall.
But even as they welcome the fiscal assist, central banks may have to recalibrate their own plans. In the U.S., U.K., Japan and Germany, unemployment is back to, or below, prerecession levels. This could make the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan feel less compulsion to expand bond buying or push rates further into negative territory, and could encourage the Fed to raise rates a bit more quickly. Bond investors, beware.
WHY HAS GOLD STALLED? / SAFE HAVEN
Why Has Gold Stalled?
By: Adam Hamilton
Gold's young bull market has totally stalled out in the past couple months. This major loss of momentum following gold's powerful surges in 2016's first half is really souring sentiment and vexing traders. They are trying to figure out if gold's recent consolidation drift is the dawn of a new bearish trend or a healthy pause within an ongoing bull. The likely answer comes from understanding what's causing gold's high consolidation.
Back in mid-December right after the Fed's first rate hike in 9.5 years, gold slumped to a miserable new 6.1-year secular low. That was driven by heavy gold-futures selling from speculators, who were utterly convinced higher rates are gold's mortal nemesis. But with bearishness so extraordinary and investors' gold allocations so low, a mighty mean reversion higher for gold was very likely in 2016 as I wrote in late December.
Indeed that soon came to pass. As the grossly-distorted stock markets artificially levitated by the Fed's extreme easings rolled over in January, investors started remembering the wisdom of diversifying some of their portfolios into gold. As a unique asset tending to move counter to stock markets, gold remains the leading diversifier to mitigate downside risks in stock-heavy portfolios.
Gold was finally off to the races.
By early March gold formally entered bull-market territory for the first time since mid-2011, surging 20%+ off its deep secular lows. Gold's enormous 16.1% gain in Q1'16 made for its best quarter in 30 years, since Q3'86! Such a blistering pace of ascent wasn't sustainable, and gold started faltering in Q2'16. But heavy investment buying was soon rekindled, starting with a colossal US-monthly-jobs miss in early June.
Then in late June, gold rocketed higher again after the surprise success of the British people voting to overthrow the tyranny of those unelected, unaccountable EU bureaucrats. But gold's newfound post-Brexit strength was short-lived, as it topped at $1365 in early July. In just 6.7 months, gold had blasted an astounding 29.9% higher! So a breather was certainly overdue, especially inside gold's summer doldrums.
Summer has always been the weakest time of the year seasonally for gold, as it's devoid of the outsized demand spikes driven by income-cycle and cultural factors that gold enjoys much of the rest of the year. And indeed between that early-July peak and the end of August, gold pulled back 4.1% to $1308. This metal has been drifting in the mid-to-low $1300s for over 9 weeks now, breeding mounting bearishness.
Until last Friday, this summer's unbelievable stock-market levitation to new record highs offered some cover for gold's lethargy. As recent years proved in spades, gold investment demand wanes when the stock markets apparently do nothing but rise indefinitely thanks to endless central-bank easing. Why diversify into gold if stocks seemingly never sell off materially? But that levitation finally started to fracture.
A week ago the flagship S&P 500 plummeted in a massive 2.5% single-day loss! That was a stunning wake-up call to the legions of hyper-complacent stock bulls. Yet there was no accompanying surge in gold investment demand for prudent portfolio diversification. The world's dominant leading gold ETF, the American GLD SPDR Gold Shares, actually suffered a major 1.1% draw that day stock markets rolled over!
So what the heck is going on with gold here? If not even the biggest stock-market down day by far since that late-June Friday when the Brexit-vote results became known could spark some life in gold, what will? The longer gold remains stalled, the more investors' and speculators' concerns mount about the health of its young bull. Understanding what's been holding gold back is critical to gaming its next major move.
Gold's young bull has stalled due to an interplay between investors' gold demand, speculators' gold-futures trading, this summer's lofty US stock markets, and typical weak mid-year seasonals. Since this year's powerful gold bull has been driven almost exclusively by investment buying, that's the place to start. This chart looks at GLD's gold-bullion holdings overlaid on the gold price during the past couple years.
As gold slumped to last year's major secular lows, its investment demand as evidenced by builds and draws in GLD's physical gold bullion held in trust for its shareholders waned dramatically. The very day that gold bottomed in mid-December immediately after the Fed's first rate hike in nearly a decade, GLD's holdings hit their lowest level in 7.3 years! American stock investors had abandoned gold, leaving it for dead.
But this dire trend soon reversed right out of the gates in early 2016. Thanks to a sharp stock-market selloff, which would snowball to the biggest in 4.4 years for the benchmark S&P 500, investors finally started returning to gold. They began aggressively adding gold exposure via GLD shares, which is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way by far for mutual funds and hedge funds to buy gold. GLD demand just skyrocketed.
GLD is a tracking ETF, it's designed to mirror the price of gold. But GLD-share supply and demand is totally independent from gold's own supply and demand. Thus GLD-share prices always threaten to decouple from gold prices. There's only one way to neutralize this inherent conflict. Excess GLD-share supply or demand has to be directly shunted into underlying physical gold bullion itself, to equalize any pressures.
So when American stock investors buy GLD shares faster than gold itself is being bought, their prices will soon break away from gold's to the upside. GLD's managers have to intervene to maintain tracking. So they issue enough new GLD shares to supply and offset the excess demand, keeping GLD's price in line with gold's. Then they immediately deploy the capital raised from these share sales by buying gold bars.
GLD necessarily acts as a direct conduit between the vast pools of stock-market capital and the global physical gold market. So daily builds in GLD's holdings showing this ETF is buying gold bullion reveal stock-market capital flowing into gold. Heading into February, differential GLD-share demand from big American stock investors, overwhelmingly funds, exploded higher as the stock markets kept tanking.
Take careful note of the timing. In January, GLD's holdings grew by 4.2% or 26.9 metric tons. But in February they rocketed 16.1% higher in a gigantic 108.0t build! This is a critical lesson for today.
Last Friday's sharp S&P 500 selloff was merely the beginning of stock markets rolling over.
Selling pressure has to be sustained, becoming a trend, before stock investors' complacency crumbles so they once again seek gold.
So far in this latest stock-levitation rollover, we've only seen 2 major S&P 500 down days. Last Friday's 2.5% and this past Tuesday's 1.5%. While no doubt steep in light of recent months' record-low volatility, that's not enough selling to convince stock investors the prevailing trend has decayed to down. We will probably need a couple weeks of selling before they get worried enough to start re-diversifying into gold again.
Back in the first 10 trading days of January, the S&P 500 saw no fewer than 6 major down days! They included daily drops of 1.5%, 1.3%, 2.4%, 1.1%, 2.5%, and 2.2%. Gold investment demand didn't pick up dramatically until stock investors were really getting spooked by an ongoing hammering. The differential demand for GLD shares forcing holdings builds that drive up global gold prices didn't come until after that.
So a couple days of material stock-market selling so far in September probably hasn't been enough yet to shift stock-investor psychology away from this summer's hyper-complacency. If the stock markets keep grinding lower on balance as they certainly ought to after such an extreme Fed-conjured levitation to new record highs, gold will inevitably catch another major investment bid sooner or later here. Be patient.
And the importance of GLD-share buying by American funds for this gold bull cannot be overstated, it is staggering. In Q1'16, gold surged 16.1% higher on a 27.5% or 176.9t build in GLD's holdings. The best research available on gold's actual underlying physical supply and demand comes from the venerable World Gold Council, in its indispensable Gold Demand Trends reports that are published once a quarter.
Back in May the WGC released its Q1'16 GDT. It reported that global gold demand climbed 20.5% year-over-year, or a 219.4t gain. Incredibly, that first-quarter 176.9t build in GLD's holdings alone accounted for a staggering 80.6% of the total worldwide growth in gold demand!
That compares to traditional bar-and-coin demand only rising a trivial 1.7t YoY. GLD gold-bullion buying was the whole story of Q1'16.
2016's new gold bull exists solely because large American stock investors decided to flood back into gold via GLD shares after neglecting reasonable portfolio allocations to it for years. Gold rocketed up in the first quarter not because small investors were buying bars and coins, but because big ones were buying ETF shares. This gold bull's incredible dominance by GLD-share buying actually intensified in Q2'16!
In August the WGC released its Q2'16 GDT report, revealing worldwide gold demand surged up another 15.4% or 139.8t YoY. GLD's Q2'16 holdings build alone of 130.8t accounts for a whopping 93.6% of this total global increase in gold demand! Again world bar-and-coin demand was dead flat, up a trivial 2.5t in the second quarter. Gold's entire new bull market has been overwhelmingly driven by differential GLD buying!
Now odds are this anomalous GLD-dominating trend won't persist. As this gold bull lasts longer and marches higher, traditional demand for jewelry in Asia and bars and coins in the West will start growing and flourishing again. ETF buying commandingly led by GLD will hand off the gold-buying baton to other investors. But for now, this entire gold bull is built on the back of GLD. And that's why gold has stalled.
Differential GLD-share demand has totally evaporated in this almost-over third quarter. As of the data cutoff for this essay on Wednesday, GLD's holdings had actually fallen 1.5% or 14.6t so far in Q3'16! This modest GLD draw, or more accurately the lack of big ongoing GLD builds, is why gold is dead flat quarter-to-date. Without large American stock investors buying GLD, the entire impetus of gold's bull has vanished.
There are a few reasons. Differential GLD-share demand was extremely strong after that Brexit vote in late June into early July. Early in quarters is when hedge funds often position capital for those entire quarters. That big fund buying wasn't sustainable, and soon petered out. That was exacerbated by both the market summer and the shocking resumption of the stock-market levitation back up to new record highs.
All throughout the markets there is a big summer lull as traders' attention naturally shifts to vacations and leisure. Kids are out of school, the sun is warm and welcoming, so the majority of traders including big fund managers leisurely drift through summer. They loosely watch the markets, but don't often make major allocation decisions unless forced to. That's one reason gold has always languished in summer doldrums.
On top of that, the US stock markets surged to new record highs again soon after that pro-Brexit vote that was long-prophesied to spell doom. Gold topped on July 8th, and the very next trading day the S&P 500 edged up to its first new record high in 13.7 months. The failing stock bull was suddenly alive and well again despite the feared Brexit coming to pass. The day after that GLD suffered a major 1.6% draw.
Over two weeks in mid-July, the S&P 500 climbed to new all-time highs in 7 out of 10 trading days!
That kind of thing breeds epic complacency, rekindling the stocks-can-rally-forever myth of recent years fed by extreme central-bank easings and jawboning. So with stocks back in vogue in a major way, the allure of counter-moving gold for portfolio diversification evaporated. Just like it had during the past couple years.
Now I fully expect this love-stocks-hate-gold trend to reverse again just like it did back in January.
But we first need to see the stock markets sell off for long enough to worry investors that their trend is once again lower. The sharp S&P 500 drops over this past week are a great start, but odds are we'll need to see a couple weeks of lower stock markets before investors start actively diversifying portfolios into gold again.
They remain radically underinvested. GLD is the best proxy by far for stock-market capital invested in gold. Back in late August, its total physical gold-bullion holdings held in trust for its shareholders were worth $40.3b. Meanwhile the collective market capitalization of all 500 elite S&P 500 stocks was way up at $20,063.4b. So gold investment represented just 0.2% of stock investors' portfolios by this particular metric!
That's absurdly low, practically nonexistent. For millennia, the world's smartest and most-successful investors have advocated having at least 5% of every portfolio invested in gold. And while that bare-minimum goal is likely far too lofty for American stock investors brainwashed into believing gold has no use in the modern world economy, their gold holdings are still very low even by their own recent standards.
The last normal years before this latest artificial stock-market levitation driven by the Fed's open-ended QE3 campaign ran from 2009 to 2012. During that span, the ratio of the value of GLD's holdings relative to the total market cap of all S&P 500 components averaged 0.475%. So American stock investors are woefully underinvested in gold today even by their own pathetic precedent, running at just 3/7ths normal levels.
This ongoing radical gold underinvestment despite this year's huge GLD holdings build is glaringly obvious in this chart. It divides the total value of GLD's holdings by the collective market capitalization of the S&P 500, or SPX. American stock investors' investment-capital inflows into gold are only beginning, with the lion's share yet to come when this artificially-extended stock bull inevitably rolls over into a new bear.
In late August, American stock investors had only 0.198% of their portfolios allocated to gold per this GLD/SPX ratio! That's really low relative to their own precedent after GLD's early-adoption years, which averaged 2.4x higher in that post-panic pre-QE3 normal-year span between 2009 to 2012. So they have vast GLD buying still left to do even from here merely to mean revert and normalize their gold exposure.
This young gold bull's overwhelmingly-dominant driver, heavy differential GLD-share demand from large American stock investors, is far from over. Once normal stock-market cycles driven by valuations again overpower central banks' false assertion that they've been eradicated, gold investment demand will come roaring back. And that will ignite and fuel gold's next major upleg, likely again led by GLD inflows.
While GLD isn't the whole story of gold's young new bull, it's certainly the vast majority. The remainder has been driven by gold-futures trading by American speculators. As I warned back in mid-July, these guys added new long-side bets so aggressively last summer that they soared to all-time records. That made for a record gold-futures selling overhang that has really dogged gold in recent months, truncating any rallies.
With speculators' hyper-leveraged gold-futures longs remaining at near-record levels ever since then, this elite group of traders hasn't had sufficient dry powder to bid gold higher. This too has contributed to the stalling gold prices in recent months. But digging into what's going on in gold futures in depth would require another whole essay. While important, the gold-futures developments take a back seat to GLD buying.
Gold stalled out in this third quarter because large American stock investors halted their diversification into gold via GLD shares. The miraculous resurgence of the long-in-the-tooth stock bull to a streak of new records this summer despite the Brexit vote's success rekindled recent years' love affair with stocks. But when these lofty overvalued stock markets unavoidably roll over, gold investment demand will soar again.
Investors can certainly play gold's coming next upleg with GLD shares or physical gold coins. Gold is essential for all portfolios, as its tendency to move counter to stock markets provides a critical hedge for the rest of portfolios. But once that foundation is in place, gold's gains will be dwarfed by those of the elite gold miners' stocks. Their profits greatly leverage rising gold prices, yielding stock-price gains many times gold's own.
That's long been our specialty at Zeal. We've spent tens of thousands of hours researching gold stocks and markets, so we can better decide what to trade and when. This has resulted in 844 stock trades recommended in real-time for our newsletter subscribers since 2001. Their average annualized realized gains including all losers are running way up at a stellar +23.4%! We can help you multiply your wealth too.
The bottom line is gold's young new bull market has stalled because American stock investors ceased aggressively buying GLD shares in the third quarter. The stunning new stock-market record highs soon after the long-feared Brexit vote this summer shifted attention away from gold back to stocks. Investment demand for gold wanes when stocks apparently do nothing but rally indefinitely, as recent years proved in spades.
But as these lofty, overvalued, central-bank-goosed stock markets inevitably roll over, American stock investors will once again look to counter-trending gold for prudent portfolio diversification. It was their heavy differential buying of GLD shares that catapulted gold sharply higher in the first half of 2016, so their return to gold buying will also ignite and fuel gold's next major upleg. Get deployed now, before it arrives.

Nigeria: Bridging the Infrastructure Divide
The information age has made technology, particularly information and communications technology, indispensable. What has been the Information Technology (IT) and Telecommunications situation in Nigeria? Nigeria is often identified as the fastest moving economy and one of the most advanced ICT market sectors in the Africa. It has the largest population in Africa, also making it an attractive and big market. How has or how is IT and Telecomm allowing Nigeria to leap-frog into the information age?
Essentially answers to these questions have to do with access to IT and Telecomm services. Let's examine Information and Communications Technology (ICT) status and developments in Nigeria by looking at several issues relating to infrastructure in Nigeria. In this regard, telecommunications infrastructure is particularly important, because of its far-reaching impact.
Telecommunication infrastructure remains one of the major issues affecting technology deployment required for growth and development in Nigeria. There has however, been massive improvement in infrastructure over the past few years. Nigeria has certainly left the telecomm state where there were only a few dial-up e-mail providers and Internet service providers (ISPs) and when Nigerian Telecommunications Limited (NITEL) was the only Telecommunications operator. It was a dark era characterized by slow Internet links, poor service, high cost, lack of infrastructure and an unprogressive telecoms monopoly. Things have certainly changed. So has night turned to day?
Deregulation of the telecommunications sector led to the introduction of major Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM), mobile phone providers MTN Nigeria, V-Mobile, Globacom and Mtel (http://www.jidaw.com/telecomproviders.html).
Nigeria's government had earlier provided the impetus for liberalization by setting up the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) (http://www.jidaw.com/comm.html). Although NCC became the regulatory body for Nigeria's telecom sector in 1992, it is the present government that dealt with the telecom policy, interconnection agreements and the empowerment of NCC. NCC issues licenses to private telecoms companies providing a variety of telecom services to the Nigerian populace.
According to NCC, deregulated telecommunications services include:
"Sales and Installation of Terminal equipment (Mobile Cellular Phones, Satellite Communication and Switching equipments etc); Public Payphone Services; Internet Services; Prepaid Calling Card Services; Community Telephony with exchanges; Paging Services; Trunk and 2-Way Radio Network Services; Fixed Telephony Services, employing cable and Radio; Satellite Network Services (e.g. Domestic VSAT networks); Repairs & Maintenance of telecommunications facilities; Cabling services; Tele-Centers/Cyber Cafes".
The GSM Revolution
The GSM revolution began in August 2001 and changed the face of Information and Communications Technology in Nigeria. But note that the picture will not be complete without mentioning the Private Telephone Operators (PTOs) and other landmarks such as the licensing of Globacom as Nigeria's second national operator (SNO)as well as the licensing of 22 fixed wireless operators.
Though Globacom is presently more active in the mobile telephony sector (Glomobile), it has the same licenses as NITEL. Globacom's licence constitutes a multi-service package of National Carrier, GSM, International Gateway and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).
Since the GSM launch, mobile telephony has rapidly become the most popular method of voice communication in Nigeria. Growth has been so rapid that Nigeria has been rightly described in various fora as "one of the fastest growing GSM markets in the world". Indeed these developments have been truly explosive: today Nigeria has about five million mobile lines and about one million fixed lines, compared with just about 450,000 working lines from NITEL three years ago.
ICT boom - Combined Effort
But Nigeria's telecom infrastructure story and growth has not been due to GSM alone. For example, GSM doesn't have much to do with the upsurge in Internet usage and access. In essence it is the combined activities of Nigeria's telecoms providers (http://www.jidaw.com/telecomproviders.html) - GSM, FWA, PTOs, telephony and VSAT operators and NCC's regulatory efforts that has led to increased competition and availability of a wide range of voice, data and internet applications and services. The improvement in the telecom situation in Nigeria has made significant impact in all sectors - commerce, social and educational. Although most of the impact is presently felt only in the urban centers, NCC has announced plans to ensure the telecomms revolution also touches the rural populace. As noted by one of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) publications, there is "a direct correlation between access to telecommunications, economic wealth, and social development".
The telecomms boom has resulted in greater usage of Internet Technology, growth and availability of cyber cafés, increased Internet provision by ISPs and PTOs, increased communications services (mobile telephony, e-mail, VOIP), reduction of Internet costs, online information gathering and research, e-learning, Internet business opportunities, online advertising opportunities as well as developments in e-banking. Growth has been phenomenal because Nigeria's size is massive and Nigerians have been starved of such access for decades. A kind of "Thank God the drought is over" experience. So while there might be an IT or Telecomms downturn in the rest of the world, the ICT sector in Africa especially in places like Nigeria continues to boom.
A few years ago, "cyber café" was a strange word from another world. Today cyber cafés exist in virtually every neighborhood especially in the urban centers. Because cost of ICT is still relatively high for most individuals, the cybercafe has significantly improved accessibility to the Internet in Nigeria.
This is particularly significant as the ITU publication, states: "if information is power, then the internet must be the easiest way of empowering those that have traditionally been left behind."
Success? Paradise?
The facts are there for all to see. There has been substantial improvement in access to telecom facilities and unprecedented growth in the telecoms network. So has night turned to day? Not quite. In view of Nigeria's size and requirements telecommunications infrastructure is still grossly inadequate. Nigeria is regarded as "one of the biggest telecommunications markets in Africa and the world". But does size determine quality? It should be more about growth and qualitative infrastructure than just having a big or the fastest growing market.
With the opening up of the telecoms space further dramatic growth is expected as service and reliability demands increase. However, in-depth penetration and qualitative infrastructure growth is critical.
Qualitative Factors
Access is not just about availability. Cost affects usage. High cost is still a barrier. While prices have definitely come down the cost of access is still too high to have a transformatory impact. There are presently price competition battles going on involving PTOs and GSM providers, which are steps in this direction. The provision of Internet by PTOs is also helping. But more needs to be done about bringing down call tariffs and rates not just communications acquisition cost. The aim should be low cost Internet and phone service.
The efforts of Nigerian computer manufacturers such as Omatek and Zinox Technologies are commendable and should be encouraged. However, because most of the computer hardware in use in Nigeria is imported, high computer prices are a barrier to access. e-business, telecomms infrastructure is incomplete without affordable computing facilities. Although just like the phone and Internet costs, computer prices have been falling, more people, not just businesses, need to have access to reasonably priced computers for education, recreation, business and other creative activities.
Poor electricity supply
Epileptic power supply increases the cost of access. Supply of electricity needs to be optimal to enable businesses and banks to provide seamless online services through local areas networks, wide area networks and the Internet. Inefficiency is the word to describe a situation where everybody has to depend on power generators, as the primary, reliable power supply. This constitutes a barrier to growth and sustainable development. The growth of real e-business cannot take place or be of any significance in an environment with unreliable public power supply.
While availability has grown, this has not been matched by quality of service. It is not enough to have cheap lines and low cost bandwidth. Efficiency and accessibility of telecoms service should be paramount. Most operators have a lot of work to do in QoS especially in the areas of congestion and support. NCC may have to wield the big stick by sanctioning poor performers.
Appropriate Licensing fees
NCC has done a lot as a pacesetter. But NCC needs to review the appropriateness of its license fees. How realistic are such fees for healthy competition? Will such fees as they are stimulate telecoms growth or increase the number of competent market players?
ICT Incentives
The market is large - the biggest in Africa! Opportunities abound! But more needs to be done to encourage investment in ICT, especially in the knowledge and creative areas. There is a need for a combination of incentives: reduction of import duties on ICT equipment, tax incentives for ICT companies, tax incentives for investment in ICT research, development and training efforts, local manufacture of telecommunications equipment and infrastructure. Again the essence of these incentives is to encourage growth and reduce access cost. If most ICT providers are faced with the problem of multiplicity of taxes, as is the case now, is this in sync with the growth that is needed?
The Nitel question
What exactly is the aim of the seesaw commercialization / privatisation of NITEL? Nitel's performance as a national operator, or even as a telecom provider is still way below standard. Although Nitel may no longer be the sole or dominant operator, its 450,000 lines is still a major chunk of infrastructure that can't be ignored. The Pentascope (present commercial managers of Nitel) experiment is clearly not working. For the many who depend on Nitel, improvement in performance and quality of service are key.
The SAT-3 project
The SAT3/WASC (Southern Africa Western Africa Submarine Cable) and SAFE (South Africa-Far East) cable system is a 15,000 km high performance fibre optic cable linking Europe, South Africa and the Far East. The essence is to provide cheaper and high quality telecoms alternatives to satellite links. However, has NITEL, the member of the consortium from Nigeria been able to use SAT-3 to add value to Telecoms in Nigeria? It is hoped that current discussions involving NITEL, government, Globacom and other members of the consortium will yield useful results.
Building expertise in Nigeria
More efforts should be invested in encouraging the development of IT and Telecoms expertise in Nigeria. "The biggest market", "the fastest growing teledensity" or just "the biggest consumers"? Consumption alone cannot engender growth. There is a need to develop human capacity in areas such as: technical, management, research and development, security, strategic and operational. For example, while there has been a cyber café boom, management has been a major source of concern for cyber café businesses (http://www.jidaw.com/itsolutions/cybercafe.html).
Also with the many IT and Telecoms projects that are taking off, project management skills will be required to get benefit.
Human development in ICT can be encouraged through increased awareness of opportunities and capabilities in ICT. The environment should encourage ICT education and provide incentives especially for those investing in research, development, training, software and other creative efforts. Acquiring infrastructure is great but it is serious investment in education that will bridge the digital divide and enhance the quality of infrastructure, the quality of access, the quality of usage, the quality of growth.
Initiatives from profit-driven members of the private sector should be encouraged, but such schemes are on their own not enough to make Nigeria an ICT-capable country or a key player in the global ICT revolution.
An emphasis on infrastructure would widen access to ICT facilities. Nigeria can't afford the luxury of ignoring the multiplier effects of access to ICT. Nigeria has certainly done well so far in improving infrastructure capacity in "record time", now it's time to start focusing on quality.
At the end of the day, infrastructure is not just about access, it's about what you do with access.

“She’s been missing him a lot lately.”
Julia’s voice is barely a whisper and my chest constricts. Our conversations don’t normally make it to discussing Gage unless we’re already arguing. The fact that she just brought it up shocks me and I’m not comfortable with it. I don’t know how to take it. I feel my jaw pulse with frustration and scramble to change the subject again. “Why is it so chilly in here?”
Her smile disappears and she tugs her sweatshirt nervously. “I didn’t know it was.”
“How can you possibly not know?” I start to the thermostat across the room when she clears her throat.
“The heater isn’t working right. I asked Lane to come by and look at it earlier this week.”
“And he hasn’t been here yet?” I shoot her a look and she shakes her head. “He’ll be here tonight.” I dig my cell outta my pocket.
“Crew, don’t. Please. The last time you called my landlord he was a complete jerk to me for a couple of months. I just got on good terms with him again.”
I scroll through my contacts list, looking for his name.
“Crew ...” I know her doe-eyes are pleading with me. I also know if I look up at her, I’ll be somewhat inclined to give in. So I don’t.

Release Boost ~ DESERTION by River Savage
Title: Desertion (Knights Rebels MC #3)
Release Date: July 14th, 2015
Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA |
Amazon AU | B&N | Kobo | ibooks
Honor.
Commitment.
Three things Jesse Carter has lost. A former Marine, Jesse used to stand proud of his achievements and live by the code. But when circumstance made him question everything he believed in, those most basic values didn’t feel so important after all.
Knights Rebels.
Three things Jesse Carter has found. Reborn into a brotherhood not so different from the one he left behind, Jesse finds it all too easy to block out his past and claim the role as the Rebels' fun loving player.
Until he meets Bell.
Shy, awkward, and with troubles of her own, Bell Johnson's no stranger to hiding her pain. When Jesse forces himself into her life, she’s at risk of her defences crumbling.
Does Bell have the strength to survive Jesse and his demons or is she fated to become another casualty in the self-destruction of Jesse Carter?
I wake up to the heat of someone’s palm against my shoulder. Twisting around, my hand moves faster than my brain, and I snatch it off me.
“Jesse, it’s me, Bell,” she rushes out before I can take it any further.
“Fuck.” I release my grip on her arm and sit up, forcing myself back to the here and now.
“Did I hurt you?” I reach for her searching for any sign of a mark left by me.
“It’s fine. You barely touched me.” She holds her arm out letting me inspect it. I check it over one more time before releasing her and relaxing.
“You wanna talk about it?” I study her face, eyes calm, soft mouth. She’s not freaking out.
“Just some shit that visits my dreams sometimes, nothing that needs to touch you,” I reply, shocked I’m not retreating.
“I don’t mind, Jesse,” she pushes, and I almost cave. Almost.
“The last thing I want to do is talk about this shit, Bell.” She doesn’t argue or press, and I’m grateful for it. I don’t think I’d be able to keep my cool if she did.
“Come back to sleep.” She lies back down and I follow her. She doesn’t ask me any more questions, or make me feel like I need to tell her everything.
“That ever happens again, don’t wake me,” I warn. A menacing thought strikes through me picturing what could have happened if I didn’t wake in time. She’s lucky I didn’t hurt her, like the last time a woman touched me while I had a nightmare.
“You don’t always have to be so brave, Jesse.” Her hand moves to my dog tags. I don’t stop her. I’m starting to like the feeling of her hands touching them.
“Never tried to be, Bell. But talking doesn’t help me. Never has.” I think back to the time when I did try and it forced me out of control. Talking about those triggers only amplified my insecurities. When death sits afar, mocking you in the dangerous confines of your surroundings, it fucks with your head; nothing was going to change it.
Besides, my issues weren’t what I had done. They were what I had survived. My conscience wasn’t clear and my honor wasn’t clean.
“Promise me you won’t touch me.” I keep my tone even, controlled.
“I promise.” I take her hand in mine and bring it to my lips. Maybe one day I will let someone in. Let her in.
Today isn’t that day.
But today, I didn’t push her away.
That has to count for something.

Fiery redhead Stella Stonewall can’t decide between a margarita and a manhattan.
The rest of her life? Please. Stella has never really fit in, and her pretty world comes crashing down when she learns it was never her world at all.
Rowan Gresham is domineering, brooding, and as sexy as chocolate-dipped sin. When he transports Stella to the magical realm of her parents she recognizes her rightful place immediately. Gresham’s motivations are less clear.

Stella’s life fast-tracks to extraordinary when she enrolls at Radix Citadel for Supernatural Learning, an enchanted college whose students turn furry on the regular. As Stella learns to navigate the magical new world of Thayer she must also find her animal form, a task as elusive as her ancestry.

A Found Series Novel
“Oh God, Noah.” Kali pushed the half-eaten meal away. He pushed it back in front of her. “I can’t eat.” “All of your clothes are falling off of you. You were kept for over six weeks. You need to eat.” He looked at her and saw her wince and kicked himself for bringing up her captivity. He suddenly felt echoes of her pain in her wrists, ankles and head, as she felt residual pain. “Does it really matter to you? How I look, I mean?” She was kidding right? He got up and walked around to her side of the booth, and wrapped an arm around her. She laid her head on his shoulder, it seemed his Kali liked sitting side by side. “I’m sorry I brought up everything, now please, let’s finish our meal, this food is fabulous, just like you promised.” “Really I can’t eat.” Noah closed his eyes and as he concentrated his stomach tied up in knots. He had an idea because he was still pretty damn hungry. “Kali, put your hand on my stomach.” She looked at him in confusion. He drew her hand to his stomach, and placed his over it. “Close your eyes, and feel what I’m feeling.” Taking a deep breath, he inhaled the aroma of the ginger, beef and noodles in front of him. Her eyes popped open. “You’re hungry. Really hungry.” “Yeah, but now how are you feeling? Is your tummy still tied up in knots?” “No,” she looked at him in wonder, and he couldn’t help himself. He dipped in for a slow kiss. He wasn’t just hungry for food. He pulled away and she giggled. “What?” “You look cute wearing lipstick.” In for a penny, in for a pound, he leaned in again, his hand cupping the back of her neck, angling her head just so. He tasted the flavor of the food, but it was overpowered by the sweetness of Kali. He could die a happy man, immersed in the arms of this woman. Their stomachs growled in unison and they broke away laughing. “I guess this empathic thing works both ways,” Kali said as she dabbed the lipstick off his lips. “It does work both ways. Haven’t you noticed how in tune you are to my emotions?” She didn’t think she could feel him the way he felt her? “Yeah, but it’s just your emotions, I didn’t think I could feel you physically, like you feel my headaches and things.” “Beautiful, what about in bed? Haven’t you noticed how we have this feedback loop that spirals higher and higher?” She bowed her head and mumbled. “I thought it was normal.” “You mean that’s how it always is for you?” Noah’s voice rose and he couldn’t stop the feeling of indignation coloring his voice. “Lower your voice. No. It’s never happened before. But I’ve never experienced, well you know. With a man. I mean, of course I’ve had. But never with a man. You mean that’s not how it always is?” She looked up at him in wonder. “Because every time we make love it’s better than the last time, and the first time was the most beautiful experience of my life. I was dying thinking you feel it every time you’re with another woman.” “Oh Kali, it’s never happened for me either.” His fingers massaged her scalp, luxuriating in the warm feel of her satiny hair. “It’s you. It’s us.” She dropped her head to his chest. “Oh.” “Now we cleared that up, eat your food.” The rest of the meal was torture. Even though her lips were now devoid of paint, the slick pink color still had him thinking of her engulfing his cock. Thank God he was wearing jeans and not slacks. But maybe not, the zipper was biting so deeply into his engorged flesh he might end up with a permanent scar.

A Man Bound By Duty When Seth's agency sends him on one last mission, Seth never realized his short assignment would last so long. While working undercover, Seth dreams of a time when he can be reunited with the love of his life. A Woman Who Will Risk Everything When Annie realizes she finally has a chance to help the man she loves, she takes it. Experiencing the darkest underbelly of society, Annie risks her life to save innocents, and help Seth find a way home. A Love That Nothing Can Tear Apart When Seth finds out that Annie has been captured, he will do anything to save her, and nothing or no one is safe until she is back in his arms.
“Stop.” Thiago continued. Seth grabbed Thiago’s forearm in a punishing grip, seconds away from breaking it. “Let go,” Thiago said, through gritted teeth. “You forget yourself.” “Until I say differently, she’s my property, or I leave now.” Seth was truly scared. Labado was a murdering sadist, and he might have pushed him too far, but he couldn’t ignore it for one more second. Labado stared at him and slowly let go of the whimpering girl. She dropped to the floor. Labado cradled his arm and toed her with his shoe. “Is she the one?” “How would I know, I haven’t seen the others,” Seth said in a calm voice. “Anton, bring in the next sample,” he called out. Four more young women were brought in for Seth to view, all slightly older than the girl who remained silently crying on the floor at his feet. After they all were standing in a row, Leslie turned to him. “Well?” “And the one in the picture?” “She’s not as docile, and she has bruising.” Seth gave her a toothy smile. “So she has spirit and marks up well. Too bad you didn’t bring her.” He set down his drink and got up. “She’s in the hall. Bring her in Anton.” He continued to stand. This was it, his palms were damp, and a bead of sweat trickled down his neck. The bastard was gripping Annie tightly by the scruff of her neck, forcing her into the room. Her face was mostly hidden by her hair. It was a trick he had seen her use many times to assess a situation without people being aware of what she was doing. Then like a laser, she saw the girl lying on the ground and she yanked out of the man’s hold and was on her knees in front of Labado, cradling the girl’s head in her lap. “Oh, I like a woman who knows her place,” Labado crooned. Why didn’t I break the fucker’s arm? “What did you do to her?” Annie demanded, her head turning to Labado, as Leslie watched Seth. He looked at her, schooling his features, so he could survive the contempt he would see in his lover’s, his love’s face. But while her face was hard and cold her eyes held nothing but joy. “She is not your business.” “I’m making her my business.” “You’re in no position to negotiate. You’re a captive. All but naked on the floor. Where is your leverage?” “Apparently I’m a commodity of some value, or I wouldn’t be here.” She tossed her hair and looked at Labado. “I’m of value to him. I have leverage.” She helped the girl off the floor, murmuring softly to her. God, she was magnificent. He kept his face flat and raised an eyebrow at Labado. “You seem taken.” Seth said stating the obvious. “You don’t. I thought spirit and easily marked were two of your criteria.” Labado’s eyes followed Annie as she took the young girl to a sofa. Anton followed her with an amused expression on his face. “I find myself drawn to both of them. They both have,” Seth paused, “certain qualities.” “I am in complete agreement. I will take whichever one you pass up.” “But you told me the other day your current mistress was to your liking.” “A man can always make room for two women.” Labado licked his lips as he looked at the women/girls on the sofa. Seth looked at the four other women in the room. He wished a man could always make room for six. God, they had to stop this tonight, but it wasn’t going to happen. Could Kota and Nate somehow keep track of these four? “I’m sorry. I really can’t decide. If you’re intent on taking one of these two, I’m going to have to go through with the divorce.” Labado pulled his gaze away from the sofa and stared incredulously at Seth. “You are talking crazy. You have what you want. You just said so.” “But you are intent on taking what I truly desire.” He watched as the sick bastard processed what he was saying. Leslie laughed. “Well aren’t you just full of surprises. First you didn’t want any of the women I had to offer, and now you want two. But I thought you liked spirit, and one seems like a bit of a victim.” “I like the dichotomy. But the point is moot.” He looked at the sofa and couldn’t see Annie’s face, her hair hid everything. He knew exactly what was going on in her mind, in her soul, because it mirrored his own heart. He had to pull this off.

~ A summer love novella by A.M. Madden
Rebecca Stanton was an unemployed college graduate looking for excitement. When she stumbled on a new job opportunity with a cruise line, she packed her bags and never looked back.
Marco Puglia worked very hard to climb the corporate ladder with Sunset Cruise Lines. Offered the Cruise Director position on their newest ship The Horizon, he couldn’t wait to revolutionize the cruising industry.
Rebecca loved her new job and impressed everyone around her, including her new boss Marco. Getting hired by Sunset Cruise Lines finally gave her a goal to work toward. The only problem she needed to hurdle was Marco Puglia. Marco felt adding Rebecca to his staff was both the best and worst decision he'd ever made. In all of his years, he’d never met anyone with the tenacity, drive, and motivation that Rebecca had. He'd also never met anyone who affected him as much as Rebecca did.
On the one hand, an attraction like theirs only came around once in a lifetime. On the other hand, a career opportunity like theirs only came around once in a lifetime.
One romantic cruise ship, one hot summer, endless wanton possibilities.
Love on The Horizon is a contemporary romance novella meant for readers who are 18+ due to mature content.

Potentiation of the renal responses to bradykinin by inhibition of neutral endopeptidase 3.4.24.11 and angiotensin-converting enzyme in anesthetized dogs.

W L Rogers
The renal vascular and excretory responses to intrarenal bradykinin were obtained in anesthetized dogs receiving the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, and the neutral endopeptidase inhibitor SQ 28,603 (N-[2-(mercaptomethyl)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl]-beta-alanine) given individually and together. Intrarenal bradykinin injections of 0.1, 1 and 10 ng/kg, respectively, increased the area over the curve of the renal blood flow response (RBF) by 6 +/- 2, 15 +/- 2 and 101 +/- 8 ml, respectively, sodium excretion by 0.6 +/- 0.4, 2.9 +/- 0.5 and 21.8 +/- 1.3 microEq/min, respectively and urinary cyclic GMP excretion by 23 +/- 12, 56 +/- 22 and 210 +/- 35 pmol/min, respectively. After 10 mumol/kg i.v. of captopril, area over the RBF curve increased by 5 +/- 4, 30 +/- 6 (P < .05) and 142 +/- 14 ml (P < .05), respectively. Captopril also significantly prolonged the sodium response to 10 ng/kg of bradykinin although the peak natriuretic activity (32 +/- 5 microEq/min) was not significantly different from the natriuresis obtained under control conditions (22 +/- 1 microEq/min). In contrast, 30 mumol/kg i.v. of SQ 28,603 increased only the peak natriuretic responses to 1.1 +/- 3.9 (P < .05), 12.1 +/- 8.4 and 40.4 +/- 12.4 (P < .05) microEq/min without prolonging the sodium response or affecting the vascular activity of bradykinin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Spring Cloud, Docker & Kubernetes – Lessons Learned in the context of an OSS Project
Dominique 0
On Tuesday 17th July, we’re hosting an evening focused on all things Kubernetes.
This session is not an introduction to Kubernetes, quite the opposite, it will highlight why Kubernetes is great, but not a magic silver bullet that will solve all your problems – you need to be ready to make some hard choices.
We’ll be joined at the event by 2 great speakers. Mauricio Salatino (salaboy.com) is currently the Activiti Cloud OSS (activiti.org) Tech Leader at Alfresco. Previously, Mauricio worked for Red Hat / JBoss in the Drools & jBPM projects, where he authored 4 books about these projects. With more than 10 years of experience in Java and in the Business Automation field Mauricio is pushing forward to modernise a very conservative industry by following the Open Source Way. Ryan Dawson is a core member of the Activiti team at Alfresco, helping to drive forward the Activiti open source project. He has spent 10 years working in Java Development scene in London across a variety of industries.
Ahead of the event we caught up with them both to get the lowdown on what we can expect at the session.
Who do you think should come along?
Anyone interested in microservices projects where the domain is complex (communication challenges with domain experts/business); or needing to adapt to changes to business; or to model review/approval/escalation workflows.
Also, people interested in learning from the experience/journey of an Open Source project while we transition from a monolith design to a Cloud Native set of building blocks.
What do you think are the three most interesting questions that this event will answer?
How can we put the business domain at the centre of our microservices architectures?
What does a modern Java development stack for distributed systems look like?
How can business automation tools like Activiti best fit into the modern Java development stack?
Why do you think this presentation is important for people?
We’ve thought a lot about how microservices is being done and will be done in the near future. We think Activiti Cloud adds valuable new tools, but we can also share insight from our use of Spring Cloud, Kubernetes, Helm and Jenkins-X as well as tools we’re looking at for the future such as Istio.
Any advice for junior programmers entering the industry?

Benjamin Zephaniah interview by Joshua Cooper
Kix Mag: Veganism, what are the benefits?
Benjamin Zephaniah: You really want to start with all of the benefits for yourself. You have low cholesterol and you don't have all the animal fats so obviously when it comes to controlling your weight you won't have all those fatty deposits clogging up your arteries and your heart. Your head feels a lot clearer and your skin feels a lot better. You've got to be a healthy vegan because you can be an unhealthy vegan as well. Then there's the benefits to the animals, it's much simpler. They're not killed. Then there's the way you help the environment. Why put a cow in a field? A cow has all that space to move around in, then you grow all these crops in another field to feed the cow. Then you kill and eat the cow when you could have used the field that the cow was once moving around in to grow food.
I mean it's uneconomical. The only reason we do that is because of big business. To be a vegan is a win win. There are no losers in veganism. For the animals, for the environment, and for you.
Kix Mag: Poetry. What is it?
B Z: Poetry simply is putting words together. Giving words meaning and put them together in a way that is original. And that's it. Some people think that some really strange obscure stuff is poetry and other people want their poetry to make sense. It's all poetry. The point is, it's not prose. If you're walking, your just walking from one place to another. That's prose. Poetry is to prose what dancing is to walking.
Kix Mag: Government. What's wrong and right with the system?
B Z: Hundreds of things are wrong with the system. Personally I don't trust politicians. I think that if you give them the power to control us you will always feel the need to be controlled. I think that people should understand that they should be responsible for running their own communities and organising themselves in ways that benefit each other. It's a strange concept. It's only strange though because for so long we've gotten into this system where we kind of trust politicians. We give them our vote and we say we hate the government?
We think that's the only way to go. It's not the only way to go. It's just the way we've gotten used to over the years. The problem with government is that it's run by politicians and politicians have big egos.
The kind of people that should run government are exactly the kind of people that won't run government because they haven't got big egos. Because they don't seek power. So we're in a very strange position where the caring, the really compassionate people, are not the people that can seek power and the people that do seem to seek power are not really caring or compassionate.
That's the main thing that's wrong with government and with the political systems that we have all over the world. They are dominated by men in suits, or women that are trying to be better than the men in suits. They mark their progress by how powerful they are and how much money they have in the bank. Not how many people they've healed. Not how many people they've fed. Not how enlightened people are.
Kix Mag: Do you think that their education, with a lot of them coming from private schooling has an impact?
B Z: Well yes. By definition they're out of touch and they think of themselves as elite. They stay out of touch as they move forward through the education process and then they get in power. Then they're constantly trying to tell us that they are 'one of the people.' They have to work harder doing that. They have their prisons camps and go to Notting Hill carnival to show that they're down with the youths. They really have to work hard at it because they're so remote in every sense of the word.
Kix Mag: Barack Obama. Who is He?
B Z: He's a politician. The president of America. I think too many people had too many big hopes for him. Black people thought he was going to be great, women thought that he was going to be great, gay people, straight people and Hispanic people thought he was going to be great. Everybody thought that Barack Obama was going to be great. He can't. He's just one person and
he's got faults.
The greatest speech I've ever heard Barack Obama make was when he said that he was going to close down Guantanamo Bay. Now he's had two terms in government and he still hasn't closed it down. That's a promise he made to the world and it's still not closed down. I mean that's the saddest legacy of his. But he's a politician. We've got to understand that. It's not the politician that has the power. It's all the people behind him that are manipulating him that have the power.
Barack Obama when he ran during the elections, he used social media in a different way to everybody else. He got funding from ethical people and companies. I remember thinking though about how long it would last. Because when he's in power he'll be dealing with arms companies.
Kix Mag: Poverty vs. wealth. How is it divided?
B Z: Well that is the division in a way. People who are wealthy hang on to their wealth and people who are poor seem to be getting poorer. Now, there are opportunities for some people to cross the line but not everybody can do that. There are some people that are going to stay poor because of the side
of town they're born on, the school they go to, the kind of general
environment they live in. They are not going to make it. Although it's possible it's not representative of everybody. Even somebody like me who's not wealthy but has been successful in what I do. Sometimes people say, look at Benjamin Zephaniah, he's come from a poor background, been to prison and then made it successful.
I know a lot of people that have as much talent as me and their still in prison. Not everybody can make it and I think that as long as wealth is strictly about the money in your pocket, you're always going to have this big divide with the haves and haves not. The people that have it will hang on to it come rain or shine and they know how to invest it. Money follows money. What we've got to do is build societies where the amount of money that you have is really not that important.
How quickly can you get to the hospital? Are the people there going to look after you? Do you have to pull out a credit card? Are you going to get free treatment? Those are the things that are important.
Kix Mag: Hip hop culture. Violent or empowering?
B Z: Like a lot of music you have a positive side and a negative side. The problem with hip hop culture is the problem with the media. They always show the negative. The record companies and the big broadcasters will always want to show hip hop as the big guy with the big car, the girl with the big boobs. They don't really want to show conscious hip hop. I mean most of the conscious artists put their work out but you've got to search
it out, you've got to know where to find it. It's not in their, record
labels, interest. Imagine a group of women or men going into a record company saying that they want to make hip hop that kind of challenges the status quo, that brings white and black people together, that's thinks about the kind of capitalist system that we live in. The record company is going to look at them like they're crazy.
If I'm standing in front of you saying that I've got these beats and these raps that big me up and big up my posse, rhyming about this and that girl and Adidas and Nike can sponsor me because I'm wearing their gear. You're more likely to get a record deal.
Kix Mag: Tell me about art.
B Z: Since the dawn of mankind, we have had needed to eat, to drink, to sleep. It seems that we've need companionship. Let's call that love. It's seems also that since the dawn of mankind, we've started telling stories to each other. We've started painting things on the walls. Representations of ourselves and our animals and our surroundings. We need art. It's just a way of making life a bit more beautiful. It's another way of telling your story. Whatever art form people like, there may be stuff that you and I don't like, but people somewhere will like it. It makes life more interesting, it makes us reflect on life in a different way. Art is beautiful. Art can be ugly, but even ugly art can be good.
Kix Mag: What frustrates you?
B Z: Knowing that before I die I'm not going to see real justice. That's frustrating. When I was a kid I would fight against racism and other things and I thought that by the time I got older it would be over. So I look now, I look at organisations like the English Defence League and UKIP and I just think we're going backwards. We fought against all those organisations, The National front and the BNP in the seventies and eighties. I knew there was going to be a new party that rolled up in Britain but I just thought it was
going to be a party of love, bringing the people together. I thought it would be the complete opposite to what UKIP is doing.
Kix Mag: I would like to know your reaction to the senate's commemoration of the First World War that is now going on and whether it adequately represents the contribution of black and Asian troops from the common wealth?
B Z: I think that if you just look at it you can see that it doesn't really represent black and Asian people. They have the token one every now and again. You have people that work in Black history month and those areas that have to kind of big up the black contribution. But I don't give a damn. Black or white, war is a bad thing. The interesting thing about the way they commemorate war is that they don't say let's try to not make this happen again. When we talk about peace they call us wishy washy. They wear
the red poppy. I wear the white one. They say what's the white one for? I say, "the white one is the red one but saying something extra. Peace." The people that wear the red one just commemorate then they keep on fighting.
Commemoration for me means very little. I don't want to put down the soldiers and the working class people that go out there but I believe that some of them are misguided. The government said, 'This was the war to end all wars.' That's how it was sold. It's a very important thing. How many years later did we then have the Second World War? That shows you that this is no way to peace. Peace is the way. You can bomb the road to pieces but you can't bomb it into peace.
Politicians have got to realise that this is no way to solving our
disputes. If you make a mistake, you've done something wrong, there's nothing wrong with that. But you've got to learn from your mistakes. The bad thing is not learning from your mistakes. Yet you have politicians year after year that are just not learning from their mistakes. I mean that's outrageous. If we were in a primary school together and we had a fight the teacher would turn up and say you shouldn't fight, this is no way to solve your problems. If we have fight in this university, staff are going to come, security is going to come and say, that's no way to deal with your problems. If you have a fight on the street people would come and say that
this is no way to solve your argument. Find another way of doing it.
When politicians have a dispute they send us to fight. Could you imagine me and you having an argument right now and saying stop. "John" and "Peter" you can fight on our behalf. It sounds crazy. They build up the argument and then when it comes for the time to throw the punch they send off some other people to go and do it. Those lessons are not being learnt. I'm really not impressed by the remembrance of war because we're not dealing
with the real problem if politicians keep dealing in war.
Kix Mag: Prison. Private or state?
B Z: State. I mean I’ve been in prison as a prisoner and I've performed in American prisons as a poet. It depends on who owns it. In some prisons it's a case of where your locked and chained up for twenty four hours a day more or less and I've been to other prisons in America where they've got a rock stadium in the prison. People and bands come in because those prisons are
owned by organisations where the bosses like rock music.
The state sends them to prison so I think that the state should be
responsible for running the prison service. Giving the prisoners books and thinking about how to rehabilitate the prisoners not just lock them up.
They need to make a system that ensures that when they come out they are better human beings. How to get back on the straight and narrow.
Most people in prisons are there because of crimes of poverty. Seventy percent of prisoners are dyslexic. Most women in prisons are there because they've been mislead by a man. The prison system we have now, both private and public, are just kind of holding places really, even for a short time, then they just let them out.
Kix Mag: I've been reading a book about prisons. It states that when a private company owns a prison it's primarily because of capital profit. So they want to keep people incarcerated and want people out there committing crimes. It also talks about the basic services that prisoners aren't receiving like medical treatments etc.
B Z: If you own a prison and you've spent millions of pounds building a prison the point is you've got to have people in it. If you've got a thousand prisoners and then you've got nine hundred and then you have eight hundred and then suddenly you've got one hundred and then fifty, you need more.
Otherwise our investments gone. Even if you have a regular amount of people in the prison, you don't want to spent too much on their education. It's like a company. You've got to look at how many diaries and water you're giving them. I think private prisons are completely wrong.
Kix Mag: Tell me about what it is you teach here?
B Z: Well teaching is the wrong word really. I give lectures and devise the university module called Writing Poetry for Performers. I concentrate on the spoken word. Students get graded by their performance not on what they've written down. How they can perform the poem, how they can bring it to life. That's the important thing in my module. I love doing it. I have someone that does the day to day teaching and I come in every now and then
to do a lecture and watch how they're getting on. I've done it for four years now and it's been really successful. I've also done some guest lecturing, like what I'm going to do in a moment. I talk about my experience in primary school on poetry and how it's affected me. It's better then most positions. Most professors are here because of their academic background, I'm here because of my experience.
Kix Mag: What are your favourite books?
B Z: Red Shelly. It's by somebody called Paul Foot about Shelly the poet. Shelly was a revolutionary poet. First I just thought of him as another dead white poet. But when I read Shelly I realised that this guy was a revolutionary, he was really fascinating. Also the philosophies and opinions by Marcus Garvey. That made me realise that black people can walk with pride. His thing was that after slavery if we're not careful we just go from physical slavery and chains to the mental slavery of the brain. That was quite
liberating.
Thank you for your time and good luck in the future - Kix Mag
Words by Joshua Cooper
Michael X Interview with Bill Levy
Kix Mag: Welcome to KIX Magazine
Bill Levy: Yes; I am delighted and privileged to be interviewed in the same mag as Tupac’s sister and the uncle of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. - not forgetting all those hot hat designers. I love hats. What do Tupac and I have in common? His name backwards – Caput – pronounced phonetically is Kaputt, a German word meaning broken-down, bust, knackered, ruined, done for, demolished.

Tours England with Malcolm X. Sunday Times touts Michael as England’s black leader, associates him with worst aspects of the Movement, then turns on him. The history of Michael’s involvement with the Sunday Times is instructive. The Sunday Times needed a local figure corresponding to Malcolm X in the United States.

Trips by hired jet airliner in company of Nigel Samuel and official chronicler Alex Trocchi (inoperative) to various black dictators in West Africa and Arabia. Samuel trying to set up Michael as a Third World Aneurin (Nye) Bevan. Also trips by hired train with similar company plus freeloaders to Cornwall and beyond.
1971- In January leaves England: “I managed to extricate myself from what was clear to me to be a long term imprisonment, I escaped to Trinidad where I was born and settled in on a little land in Arima where I am now building a home…planting for all our needs.

Sentenced to death by hanging subject to confirmation by Privy Council.
1972-1973 – On Death Row, Royal Gaol, Port of Spain, Trinidad. November 26, 1973 refused application to appeal to Privy Council. Michael’s lawyer says on TV, “It’s hopeless. He’ll certainly hang.”
1975 –On the 16th of May Michael was executed by hanging.
Further Notes: Three tomes of race-wresting fantasy were based on the life and times of Michael de Freitas/Michael X/Michael Abdul Malik. A proudly anti-Negro novel Guerrillas (1975) by the respected Trinidadian sentimentalist V.S. Naipul and the fabulist False Messiah: The Story of Michael X (1977), a tabloid style in-house cover up by the Sunday Times journalists Derek Humphry and David Tindall. Derek Humphrey went on to write the 1991 best-seller Final Exit and become the founder of Hemlock Society, a right-to-die group. The NY Times called Naipul’s Guerrillas “probably the best novel of 1975.” Back in Britain, however, Elaine Feinstein, the eminent poet, novelist and translator from the Russian, choose Guerrillas as the Worst Book of the Year because of the author’s undisguised fear of, and disgust for, women’s desiring body. Then there’s Diana “Jungle Fever” Athill’s ironic oooh-my-remarkable-affair memoir Make Believe: A True Story (London: Sinclair-Stevenson, 1993).
Your are better off, however, seeing : Souvenir Programme for the Official Lynching of Michael Abdul Malik with Poems, Stories, Saying by the Condemned – Fully Illustrated, edited (by Michael’s friends) William Levy and John Michell (Cambridge: The Cokaygne Press, 1973).
The film Levy on Michell (10 min. 2012) makes reference to Michael, and this site also includes selections from the above book.

Though over politicized, there is the definitive and compassionate biography, Michael X: A Life in Black and White by John L. Williams (London: Century/Random House, 2008). My review of this volume can be accessed at:
https://thefanaticonline.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/the-beast-of-britain-minstrel-show/
Michael X the eponymous title of a play about politics in the Sixties by Vanessa Walters (whose novels include Rude Girls) was performed for six nights during November 2008 at the Tabernacle Centre, Powis Square, W11, London. Directed by Dawn Walton, the hour-long monologue was presented by Clint Dyer. According to John Michell (1933-2009) in an epistle to me about this theatrical event, he wrote:
“I went with Jenny, Michael’s daughter, and Desiree [his wife] and two other daughters and a smattering of grandchildren to a play at the Tabernacle about Michael. It was a recitation by an actor in an Afro of pieces written by Michael in the early days, showing him as a radical, ranting leader of black liberation, and fitting him into that popular academic study, Black History. There was a surprising number of young black people there, and I guess they were students of BH. They were shown images of disobliging white landlords, persecution and race riots, with nothing about the sympathies and cultural similarities between us that made the West Indian immigration the happiest one we’ve had. The young blacks at the Tab cheered in the right places but were good-natured, and I did not think they took the grievances imposed upon them by their BH teachers too seriously. There was nothing about Michael’s later friendships, his acid experiences or the universal idealism he developed. To depict him simply in BH terms is a travesty. He needs to be reclaimed as the white man his father was.”
Kix Mag: What is your connection with him?
Bill Levy: When I was newly editor of the underground newspaper IT (International Times1967-1968) Michael handed me an article he had written. Immediately I saw that what he was saying about race and class in Britain at that time made sense. But more, his writing was drawing pictures of sound. And sound is tactile. I could actually hear, feel, his writing based on an oral culture. It had a dulcet calypso resonance. I published it, and others he wrote. From that point an alliance grew…We became fellow conspirators in life and literature. As they say – We passed the spliff!
Kix Mag: From the urban clay ghettos to the silk cigar rooms of the aristocracy, Michael was astride with them both?
Bill Levy: In spite of all the disapproval, mainly from smarmy lower middle-class white university graduates angling to become tenured professors of bla bla bla, and edgy black socialists trying to create a global revolution leading to their world domination - by integrating Franz Fanon with Thelonious Monk, Michael himself was comfortable with almost anyone, and could make anyone comfortable, a natural aristocrat. He was welcome in Hampstead as well as in All Saints Road.
Just take at look who signed the final, albeit failed, petition to then Home Secretary Roy Jenkins asking for mercy and to stop his execution. Michael’s karmic pallbearers included (alphabetically): Marion Boyars, William Burroughs, John Calder, Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, Marianne Faithful, Jim Haynes, Kit Lambert, John Lennon, Bill Levy, John Michell, Yoko Ono, Alice Ormsby-Gore, Cedric Price, the Hon. Michael Portman, Dan Richter, Nigel Samuel, Feliks Topolski and Alexander Trocchi.
And he was, as well, of course a principal among his Caribbean peers in the Grove, in Reading.
Kix Mag: What is your relationship to the arts and literature?
Bill Levy: My interest is in practitioners of art and literature who become seditious. That’s why I’ve written about, and published books on, Michael X as well as the poet Ezra Pound, indicted for treason for radio speeches made from Italy during World War II and confined to a lunatic asylum for over a dozen years, the Vienna Action Artist Otto Muehl marinated seven years in a max security prison for organizing and directing an art centered free sex commune, and Dutch author Jacob Israel de Haan, shot dead in Jerusalem (1924) earning the dubious fame of being the first political murder in the history of Zionism. Wasn’t it Antonin Artaud who said: “All writing is pigshit.”
Kix Mag: Michael was cultivated was he not?
Bill Levy: I would rate Michael as warm and primal rather than arid and cultivated. Instinctive not bookish.
More a stealthy cat than a barking dog.
Kix Mag: Where can people discover more of your work?
Bill Levy: Someone wrote a Wikipedia page about me (I wonder who?) It’s only partially true or full.
Yet it does have a short list of links to a variety of my writings. Alert: I am listed under William Levy author. My Google-ganger, the other William Levy (actor) is a young and beautiful Cuban hunkerooney, eye candy deluxe. That one is not me. At any rate, something not Wiki-listed but recently published can be found in RealityStudio, a site dedicated to the work of William Burroughs.

William Levy: Beyond Criticism (40 min.) is a biopic from British director Malcolm Hart premiered at London’s Portobello Film Festival in 2006 - been knocking around since then. Now it’s finally available on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8u6vfBWpKk
Dr. Doowop (15 min.), directed by Michiel Brongers, about me, as the man behind the DJ voice of a exceedingly well-received weekly radio show in Amsterdam for twenty years (1987 – 2007), with over 800 live performances, on free (i.e. illegal) stations . A critic called it “one of the most eccentric and stimulating radio shows anywhere, Sartre, De Sade, Doo-wop and music from the gonads.” This flic has been screened in art house cinemas in England, Holland and Germany, selected for the Dutch National Film Festival (2009), and in the same year awarded “Best Film” prize at a festival in Szeged, Hungary.

Kix Mag: Any up and coming projects?
Bill Levy: My advice to everyone is… Do not get old: it is not for the fainthearted.
Kix Mag: What would you like to say about Michael X
Bill Levy: Actually the only trenchant and febrile thing I have to add to the cacophony of things written and whispered about Michael is this quote from the most popular novel of one of my favorite writers - the late-Victorian author George Gissing. In New Grub Street(1891) he wrote:
“A man who comes to be hanged… has the satisfaction of knowing that he has brought society to its last resource. He is a man of such fatal importance that nothing will serve against him but the supreme effort of law. In a way, you know, that is success.”
Kix Mag: How do you get your KIX? (Pleasures in life)
Bill Levy: I get my KIX from Route 666. Rama Lama Ding Dong Forever…
Interview by Joshua Cooper
D-Jukes talks to Paul Brown about his involvement at Hoops Aid 2013 and 2015
US rapper D-Jukes is swapping the studio for the hardwood to help Hoops Aid this May.
The Brooklyn native, who teamed up with Lateysha Grace in Series 3 of The Valleys to record the single "You Beautiful", is a massive basketball fan.
And he'll be lacing them up to play at London's O2 Arena in the Hoops Aid All-Star Game on May 10 to help support the Sports Traider charity.
Jukes, who has worked with IceT, G-Unit, Peter Gunz, Kool G Rap, Steve O, Ne-yo, Latesha (The Valleys) Wretch32, is currently working on his New York City Trafficking album.
But he can't wait to take time out and hit the hardwood at the star-studded UK event, which will feature the likes of Steve O from Jackass, Flawless and Hollywood actor Colin Salmon, and serves as pre-match entertainment for the BBL Final.
Jukes said: "I played at Hoops Aid in 2013 and we had a great time. It's a worthy cause."
"It opened my eyes to what basketball can do for the local community and for kids with nowhere else to go."
"Basketball takes kids off the streets and out of gangs and gives them something more positive to focus on."
"It also keeps you fit and healthy - I'm already practicing for the game at my local gym."
"I'm a point guard or shooting guard but I can do a lot of the dirty stuff under the basket too. I played small forward last time so I'm versatile. It's going to be a blast."

The Rise of Tierz!
Kix Mag: Welcome to Kix Mag, introduce yourself to our readers!
Tierz: Hi my name is Tierz i’m a solo artist performing all over the country, I live in Kent and have done since the age of 7. Growing up I have had alot of experiences and that’s how my interest in music started. I was told to write how I feel in a letter then destroy it to help to release the negativity I had going on growing up but that ended up being created into rap and so the story began there.
Kix Mag: What made you want to get into music? Is it to do with other rappers like
Biggie / Tupac etc or do did you just have a love for music?
Tierz: I first heard my first ever Eminem song from my cousin and from there I fell in love with the art of writing music and the art of rapping which led me into performing. I think that music is an art that can affect many people in different ways and so with that I try to create music people can feel. Music has helped me through a lot of bad and good times and I hope that my music can do the same which is why I love what I do so much.
Kix Mag: Tell us a little bit more about your background. In music and real life.
Tierz: My life has been crazy, I was born in Sutton Surrey and lived there for about 7 years, whilst at school I was bullied hard and didn’t have much luck with making friends (Guess I was the idiot kid at school, whilst living there my parents argued a lot which led onto a lot of bad things happening and seeing a lot at a young age. I burnt myself from a kettle at the age of two and nearly died which led me being one of the first children in the country to have plastic surgery at such a young age (claim to fame lol), I later moved to Sutton with my parents and two younger sisters, this is where I learned to play golf and later went on to gain a golf scholarship in Guildford College. The Golf took a turn for the worst and so I became a chef working in a top restaurant, with all of what I have mentioned I was and am working hard on my music career, being signed to a small label in 2011 and being accepted to tour with Dappy have been two of many highlights of my career so far and I look foward to plenty more.
Kix Mag: Who have you worked with and who would you like to work with in the future?
Tierz: I have been fortunate enough to have worked along side Benny Banks, Paigie Cakey, Dappy, Xibit, Mobb Deep, Baby Blue, English Frank and John Peppard. John Peppard and I released an EP in early 2014 called 110 and it was a great feat with people that purchased the EP. I would love to work with Professor Green he has such a great style about him and comes across as a really humble person, i’d also like to work with G FrSH he is a great artist and is doing big things this year :).
Kix Mag: Whats your plans for the foreseable future?
Tierz: I’m planning an ep which will be released later this year, amogst that I am planning shows festivals, radio interviews and a possible tour with an American artist. I have recently signed to Sekret Soundz Management and so I am looking foward to the future of working closely with them this year.
Kix Mag: Where have you performed? Do you have any performances coming up?
Tierz: I have performed all over the country in venues such as Brixton Jamm, 02, Bar Rumba, Hootananny and more. I performed in Scotland last year 2013 in the venue green room in Fife, and also in Ireland Voodoo Bar. I will be performing at shows across London and Kent in the upcoming months, all shows can be found on my website http://www.Musicglue.Com/tierz/
Kix Mag: What do you like to do in your spare time?
Tierz: In my spare time I like to write music, listen to music, cook and go on walks with my dogs, I enjoy meeting freinds for drinks. I enjoy a social life which is a big plus for me being in the industry i am in.
Kix Mag: What’s your latest project. Tell us about it and when your releasing it.
Tierz: My latest project is a music video release, the video will be for a track called Hero, it’s a track that I wrote with John. It’s about a superhero fighting off vilans which could be portrayed as an artist fighting off the industry lol. I am looking foward to shooting the video as we have allot of great ideas and will be fun to shoot, the release will be summer 2015 and will be uploaded to my site.
Kix Mag: How can people find you on social networks, facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat etc
Tierz: To find me on social media search for @Tierzofficial on twitter, Tierz on facebook and Tierz official on Instagram, i’m always happy when new fans follow me.
Kix Mag: And our golden question...How do you get you kix? (Excitement in life)
Tierz: The best excitement I have is when I perform infront of crowds, every show is different and no matter how well rehearsed or experienced an artist is you can never tell what’s going to happen during the show. So the leadup to performing all the way from rehearsing a set list is an exciting time. Thats how I get my kix!
Kix Mag: Thanks for this interview always a pleasure to expose new artists to my readers. Good luck in everything you do.

The Other Guys On New Album W/ Von Pea, Inspirations & Much More
HipNott Records is more than a record label putting out material for the next buck with a plethora of mediocre artists. The talent they offer as a collective, and their hard-working owner Kevin Nottingham, is how I stumbled upon [The Other Guys] a while back. What does the duo (Mighty Joe & Isaiah “Insanate” Mensah) bring to the table? Raw, soulful and honest Hip-Hop packed with scattered samples, multiple artists stomping on their canvas and a very clear passion felt through their wizard-like production. Be sure to grab their new album ‘To: You’ with Tanya Morgan’s very own Von Pea. It’s certainly one for your collection.
Before we begin I just want to thank both of you guys for your time and rocking this interview. Can you touch on the early days for The Other Guys and how you guys came about as a Hip-Hop duo? From my understanding you guys are cousins as well; is this true?
Mighty Joe: I started making beats around 2005 or so. Isaiah was doing his thing rapping in New York City and I reached out to him to help me with beats because he was also a real dope producer. He helped me a lot with my drums at the time. Fast forwarding a little bit to 2007; we formed The Other Guys as a production duo and we would shop our beats to various underground artists in the New York area. We eventually got tired of that method basically and around 2011 we started recording all our own music still under The Other Guys moniker with Isaiah emceeing. It’s been working out ever since.
So, you guys came up in the New York City Hip-Hop scene?
Mighty Joe: Yeah. Isaiah was in Brooklyn, NY and I was in Virginia Beach for a while. So, we would use a lot of his connections with fellow emcees and producers in New York City. Most of the connections and work developed out of New York City for sure. This was around the time when the internet didn’t fully take over yet, so you you had to be around to really build with other artists which was all beautiful.
Inspiration can be drawn from many things inside and outside of the Hip-Hop scene. But, keeping this strictly about the music, who were some of The Other Guys’ influences coming onto the scene early on? Who did you guys grow up on?
Isaiah: I always say this, man; we grew up on what everybody else grew up on you know? Some specifics that we are heavily influenced by are A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan and Jay-Z (still). Overall it’s probably a list that everybody would say, but we try our best in general to get inspired by all musicians and go as far as The Doors and Portishead. We try our best to be as diverse as possible. So, if we listen to a wide variety of music than our product is bound to be directly influenced by that and be diverse as well.
Around this time last year (2013) you guys released ‘The Week Instrumental EP’ which is when I first heard of The Other Guys. I instantly fell in love with your sound and also really enjoyed the Monday through Sunday theme. Can you talk a little bit about this project? What kind of responses were you guys getting after the release?
Isaiah & Mighty Joe: We started to really hone in on how we wanted our sound to come out and how we put out projects. That EP came about because we basically just wanted to release an instrumental project. We had already done a previous instrumental project titled ‘The Other Instrumentals’ which did pretty well too, and that one was more or less leftover material we put together. But, ‘The Week Instrumental EP’ was actually planned and put together by us in total. It definitely worked out.
What is one of The Other Guys’ highlight moments thus far over your whole music career? Any moments that come to mind right away that you care to share?
Mighty Joe: If I had to name two things off the top of my head I would say signing to HipNott Records, and the recording of this new Von Pea album. We have a vision and we are excited to see where it goes.
HipNott Records is certainly one of the dopest names to be running alongside currently as far as Hip-Hop goes. That leads me into my next question; can you talk about signing with HipNott and what this experience has been like so far for The Other Guys?
Isaiah: Oh yeah, of course. Signing to HipNott is very exciting for us. As we are trying to grow they are trying to grow as a label as well. So, it all makes sense. They allow us to grow artistically and have free range to do what we want to do as artists, which is beautiful.
Mighty Joe: Timing is everything, man. We had already done business with Kevin Nottingham previously before signing with them. Our relationship with them kind of grew overtime while pushing our stuff on his website (www.kevinnottingham.com). Long story short; we reached out to Kevin and made moves. I couldn’t imagine us anywhere else.
As a production duo I am very curious what your process looks like when you guys are cooking up. With two people I am sure this gets interesting. Can you talk about The Other Guys’ process a little bit?
Isaiah: When it comes to drums I primarily will sit and program tons and tons of weird, awkward breakbeats. Once they’re done I will send them over to Joe. Literally a folder with like 30+ drum beats; breaks and stuff. What do you after you get the folder, Joe? (laughing)
Mighty Joe: After I get them we generally pick out samples. This usually happens together actually. So, I will go into our sample folders or samples that I picked up off records. I’ll then start constructing beats with the basic frames that he made. I also play the keyboard so that’s generally all me. So yeah, overall it is an amazing collaborative effort that works out. This time around we do just about everything together in the lab. Also, we shoot/film our own music. We stay busy.
What should the world be expecting from this upcoming Von Pea and The Other Guys album ‘To: You’? Everything that has been released is stellar and the responses seem to be amazing.
Mighty Joe: This is probably our most cohesive piece of work hands down. What you should be expecting is crazy lyrics and cohesive production. Von Pea is nuts. I mixed most of the songs on the album and I’m still catching up to his lyrics. It is definitely an album you do not want to miss. Also, we will have multiple visuals available from the album. Be sure to grab this on November 25th.
We are real excited to see what the album has to offer for sure. That’s very dope. To wrap this interview up, what is The Other Guys’ five year plan? Or, overall, what should the world be expecting from you guys from here on out aside from the new album?
Mighty Joe: Right now we are really focusing on our production value and always have something going on. You can expect a shorter EP coming with Substantial. That will probably be out by the summer of 2015, give or take. And, definitely another full instrumental project sometime soon for sure.
Isaiah: Oh, and don’t be surprised if you hear about a HipNott tour! Kevin has big things in the works considering the roster has grown substantially. Huge shout out to Kevin Nottingham, the homie Von Pea, Substantial, everybody on HipNott and all the fans supporting us.

Interview by Dread Solo Journalist
Kid Vishis Interview 2014
Kix Mag journalist Pedro Shippuden caught up with an up and coming US rapper from Detroit called 'Kid Vishis' who also happens to be the younger brother of Hip Hop Veteran 'Royce Da 59'. Despite technical issues almost causing the interview not to go ahead, here's how it went down..
Kix Mag: Hi Kid Vishis.. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us.
Kid Vishis: Thanx for having me sir. Sorry for the mishaps.
Kix Mag: No problem these things happen. Our first question which you probably get asked all the time is, whats it like being Royce Da 59's brother? lol..
Kid Vishis: I’m used to it lol! Born and raised with the guy but he is my best friend and mentor. He motivates me all the time to do better and become a better person. It just so happens that he is a legend in hip hop. That's just a plus for me but, I've always looked up to Royce even as kids.
Kix Mag: So would you say that you're now a rapper because of him or because of his influence?
Kid Vishis: He taught me how to rap. We already sound a like naturally but I study the best out there and he is my example first hand. I don’t think I have his style but we are similar.
Kix Mag: I did a bit of research earlier and you both recently released a CD together.. Was it a mixtape or an album?
Kid Vishis: Album.
Kix Mag: How was that for you?
Kid Vishis: Exciting! Its my debut album and the beginning of my mission to make my print in hiphop.
Kix Mag: When exactly was it released?
Kid Vishis: July 22.
Kix Mag: Ok so not long ago then. So with you doing a solo project like 'Timing Is Everything', do you ever worry that your always gonna be in his shadow due to people seeing you as Royce's younger brother rather than as a up and coming rapper from Detroit called 'Kid Vishis'?
Kid Vishis: Im only gonna get put in a shadow by people who want me in his shadow. I don’t record to compete with Royce or out do Royce on every record, I just do me. I think consistency will be my strong point and some people will group me with Royce forever but its never been a concern of mine about what other people think.
Kix Mag: So how would you describe your style?
Kid Vishis: Unorthodox.
Kix Mag: In what way?
Kid Vishis: I don’t do the same blueprints and styles as other rappers.
Kix Mag: Different is usually good. Can you fill us in on your plans for the rest of the year?
Kid Vishis: September to December I plan to tour as much as possible, keep recording and putting out visuals. I'm thinking of putting out another EP this year.
Kix Mag: Where about’s will you be touring and do you plan on coming to the UK?
Kid Vishis: Europe, UK, Canada and the states. I would LOVE to come to the UK man! One of my favourite places in the world.
Kix Mag: So you are coming to the UK?
Kid Vishis: Yes! We're working out the tour schedule now.
Kix Mag: When you do let us know. We'll help make sure things go smoothly for you over here.
Kid Vishis: I wanna link with more artists from over there! You gotta put me up on game!
Kix Mag: Yeah don't worry we're good at that. ;)
Kid Vishis: I need that bro!
Kix Mag: Where can people check you out?
Kid Vishis: Search for '@Kidvishis' on Twitter and Instagram, and 'Marcus Kid Vishis Montgomery' on Facebook. I'm working on a new site called Sickem.com which will be up in a few weeks. I'm on iTunes and amazon with the album. XXL, The Source, Hiphopdx, 2dopeboyz, Allhiphop.com all rocked with the album and posted joints, interviews and reviews.
Kix Mag: Ok so of all the famous rappers that most people dream of meeting that you've probably met, who would you say was the most down to earth one to the point that it shocked you?
Kid Vishis: Eminem hands down… I forgot he was a great legend while around him! He silly as hell and down to earth.
Kix Mag: Lol.. Which brings us to our last question. How do you get your Kix?
Kid Vishis: Outside of rap or while rapping?
Kix Mag: Just in general.
Kid Vishis: Smoking, boxing, basketball, smoking, writing bars, recording, and smoking! lol..
Kix Mag: Lol.. I think that's a first. Very honest of you. True say though it’s pretty much legal over there in the States lol..
Kid Vishis: Lol ;)
Kix Mag: Thanks for talking to us bro and wish you all the best in the future. Kix Mag signing out..

Massari Interview of the back off his latest release with French Montana
Massari is a Lebanese Canadian R&B, Pop, and hip hop singer. His music combines Middle Eastern melodies with western culture. Massari is currently touring in selected places throughout the UK & Kix Magazine had an opportunity to interview him, before jetting off!
Kix: Describe your self Kix Magazine in 3 words…
Massari: Passionate, (Full of Love – Woops those are 3 words), Focused, Big Heart
Kix: What brings you to the UK?
Massari: I have been touring in the UK, taking part on ‘Shisha Run’ tour at different venues from Manchester to London, paying a visit to the UK promoting the new single ‘Shisha’ feat French Montana – at small intimate venues being close with the fans.
“My Fans are beautiful, they are reflection of me, full of life and inspires me to my Music”
Kix: How did your brand name ‘Massari’ come about?
Massari: When I was at the age of 14, I found my self in the era of my time where people in the media & music scene, a lot of them where changing their names to fit into western culture to be accepted to move forward. Then I came along representing ‘I am who I am’. Everyone out their has a God given right to be who they are, who their mother and father are, their culture, religion, etc… I am proud of who I am , using the universal language of love, through Music.
Massari quotes ‘Massari comes from Arbabic terminology meaning ‘Money’ & Massari real name is Sari Abboud (Arabic: ساري عبّود)
Kix: Tell me about your experience working in the Middle East and any barriers you had to face…
Massari: I was very lucky to be received with open arms to the Middle East. They were proud of supporting a Lebanese, Canadian artist to succeed in North America, as I was the first of my kind and the Middle East embraced me and the music I offered.
I stay true to my routes, through the Melody & Name and songs such as ‘Inta Hayati’ became a success, as I Middle Eastern myself and speak fluent Arabic they felt very close to me and they met me half way and given me their support
But, in Canada when I came out no one knew what background I came from, so I let everyone in the public eye run with what they heard about me and who I am and let them hear the Music First - as Canda is a Multi Cultural city and they were proud of me and supported and the dreams I had
Prior to my first single ‘Be Easy’ & ‘Real Love’ their was a negative atttiute toward me and the label, so the response to the public ‘Cool, you go on your way, but we will do us!’ and that’s what we did. Since the success now those same people changed their perception how I describe it as ‘when you are different the world will not understand you, but when you believe in yourself you fel it, its is the light that keeps you going – and that’s your destiny & you will cross pathes and reach your goals’
Kix: How did the track ‘Be Easy’ come about as your first single?
Massari: ‘Be easy’ is still one of my favourite tracks even till now, that and ‘Shsha’ (his recent single), I have a big love for Arabic Music & Regga Music as they are just so close Music Wise, a snear, a two beat removed from a beat I see the music melodically in my mind. The way it made you move so when I heard the beat – I fell in Love with the melody and within 15 minutes I composed the whole song from beginning to end started to work on the arrangement and sound.
So I sat with another artist from the label (CP Records) Belly to write to the single he just saw the track way ahead of time and also came up with the name ‘Be Easy’ and it went viral
The reaction we got from the record – was amazing & allowed me to Release more music …
Kix: How did the single ‘Shisha’ & collaboration with French Montana come about?
Massari: Working with some one like French that I am big fan of is amazing, he has jokes all day no stress no worries.
I envy his free spirit, he lets life be, and that’s great for him and when we done the record and was doing the video, he bought me to side this is amazing track so we toured together all over Canada and the track was doing extremely well, and we both spoke Shisha, both from Middle East Backgrounds – it all fit perfectly!
Kix: Tell me about your relationship with CP Records & Universal Music
Massari: CP Records is the family that I started with, when I say family I literary mean the word, my Manager Manny I knew since I was 13 years old, when I first started my journey we were already friends and now that’s my manger, same goes for Belly (Artist on the same label) we went to high school together, we all come together as a unit and progressed further together and climbed mountains that we didn’t even knew exist – I am very extremely proud!
Universal is the label that does CP Records distribution– every independent has to be tied into something or some one its good that they are involved with the push of our label
What I like about CP Records is that they take the artists that they have, and put a lot of time, sometimes I feel the major labels don’t do that, it simply who’s hot at the moment is getting played on radio and everyone else is on the back burner – I wouldn’t be confortable if I was in that situation like that
Kix: How do you get you Kix?
Massari: Ergh ‘My Shoes’ – Aww I get it (Massari stares with a blank face) – “Being able to step on the stage and completely exceed peoples expectations as far as energy, performance, love, passion and delivery – and when people meet me in person – I feel that my mum raised me right, a lot of people become successful and it changes them, I am don’t know how to change even if I wanted too this is always been who I am – I love the facet I was given this gift, it’s a reponsibitlity to carry – and take it to the next level In Music

Clare Louise English Interview
Welcome to KIX Magazine!
Kix Mag: Your playing a character called Masha. Describe her personality?
Clare English: She's kind of the clown of the piece really. She always tries to help and always gets it wrong. She's the middle sister so she sort of has that Middle child thing.
Kix: Tell me about Hot Coals Theatre Ensemble?
Clare: We are a theatre company that formed out of Margot Courtemanche , myself, and Jo Sargeant. We trained at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) on MA Theatre Lab. We spent a year together there and when we graduated we wanted to work in the same kind of way the school was devising/creating work, so we formed Hot Coals to carry on that work, and it’s been a year to year and half since to this point.
Kix: Art, poetry, drama, film and literature. What, from each, is your favorite piece of work?
Clare: My favorite film would be “Withnail and I” starring Richard E Grant and Paul McGann, that's sort of the first one that springs to mind. Art, I would have to say, classic favorite artist is Grayson Perry. Literature, I might go with Shakespeare. And drama, well, “Storm and a Teacup”.
Kix: What is your process that you go through when you are learning a script?
Clare: There's no real quick way of learning a script. It can be a bit tedious having to read over and over. I like to record lines and listen to them when I'm at home or out walking. I also ask friends to constantly test me on them. There's no easy way around it. With this project, “Storm in a Teacup”, we don't have a script because there's really no dialogue in it all. It wasn't a traditional; writers sit down, write a script, then, actors learn their lines. We actually created the whole play from scratch, together as the ensemble. But it's physical theater rather than script learnt.
Kix: What is your favorite Subject away from drama, i.e - politics, philosophy, history etc..?
Clare: I quite like history and the Tudor period.
Kix: Do you frequently go to any particular galleries, museums, coffee houses, theaters etc?
Clare: I go to the theatre a lot. I go to all sorts of theaters. I go to the National Theatre, I go to the West End. As an actor I think that you should go to the theatre a lot. So when I'm not working, I tend to go once a week or so.
Galleries, I go to Gallery Different, The Victoria Miro, and the Proud Archivist, which is close to my flat, and always has really cool exhibitions on. I also visit all the usual's, e.g. The National Portrait Gallery etc. If there's something on I like anywhere else, I'll go. I have a lot of friends who are artists so I always try to see their work wherever they are showing.
Kix: What books do you recommend reading?
Clare: I like Philippa Gregory, I know that's a very popular choice, but I'm really into that period in history. I also read a lot of plays and I also read a lot of practitioner books by people who have worked in the arts and written books about that. At the moment I'm reading Peter O'Toole's biography.
Kix: What does an actor/actress need around them the most to make a career? Is it their manager or agent, or is it something else much more personal?
Clare: I think they need really good friends and, or, a supportive partner. It's a really hard industry and I think you need people that keep you grounded and that can pick you up when your feeling down. It's very much a roller coaster - one minute you've got an audition, your preparing and its very exciting, and when the auditions over, you have a sort of come down.
Especially, after a show. To have someone to go home to or friends who get that, all helps.
Kix: What is Storm in a Teacup about?
Clare: “Storm in a Teacup” is about three elderly sisters. They're all in their 80's. It's about how they fight the system to keep they're independence. They're living together in one room and are all on top of each other, but it’s about they're relationship and how they are co-dependent on one another. And then how the system, the institution, is trying to push them out of their home and into a care home but they don't want to go, and so are fighting against it.
The characters of the three sisters we play are based on the three sisters of Chekhov's, “Three Sisters”, which is a Russian play. In that play there in their 20's and 30"s, and we've imagined what they would be like in their 80's.
Kix: Website's, diary dates, what to look out for the year?
Clare: Follow us on Twitter @HotCoalsTheatre, follow me on Twitter @ClareLEnglish,
I'm doing a new play called Absent by Tim Cook which will be on in April, and then we, Hot Coals, will be performing Storm in a Teacup at Brighton Festival 3rd, 4th and 5th May!
Kix: How do you get your Kix?
Clare: Walking my dogs. I've got 2 little Whipet puppies. Going to the theater. And making work!
D'Banj interview 2014
Kix Mag: Introduce your self in 3 words…
D’Banj: Entertainer, businessman & entrepreneur.
D’Banj: I am here to introduce the UK Market to my new song ‘Bother You’. A soundtrack from an upcoming film ‘Half Of A Yellow Sun’ (This film takes place in Nigeria during the Nigerian-Biafran War in 1967-1970. The effect of the war is shown through the dynamic relationships of four people’s lives ranging from high-ranking political figures, a professor, a British citizen, and a houseboy.)
Kix: How did the video from the song come about?
D’Banj: This year is my 10th Anniversary of my music career. I started in 2004… as a performance artist – ‘Bother You’ for me is a serious song showcasing clips of the film within the music video, as it’s not one of my original songs it’s a soundtrack to a movie - so I wanted to play it down and produce a mature visual and also it’s an inspiring song about ‘Love’ it’s taken from a best seller book – Half of a Yellow Sun is a novel by the Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
When I watched the film by the executive producer, what inspired to do the song is the love story within the film – as this kind of love ‘does it still exist’? – the kind of love you have forever – originally the song is an evergreen song by Lionel Richie’s ‘All Night Long’ reproduced & reconstructed by film makers and D’Banj. It was confirmation that this was the next big hit.
Kix: How did your name artist name D’banj come about?
D’Banj: My Name is a combination of my real name, with a quirky style as my first name is Dapo Daniel and my fathers family name is Oyebanjo – so I put them together to creative D’Banj full name is Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo. Also I have another name called ‘Koko Master’ this came from one of my earlier songs, where I branded this name – as it means ‘something you do to drive pleasure’ and I am the master of that!
Kix: How did your family take apart in your music career?
D’Banj: I have two brothers originally, my younger brother K-Switch who co-wrote the ‘Bother You’ single with me and my elder brother who died in a plane crash when I was 14 – he used to play the harmonica. When I saw his items on the bed I picked it up and a week later at school I started to mimic his music and it came apart of my image and brand – overall my sisters and parents had great influence in my music career.
Kix: Who has been you current and past music influences and why?
D’Banj: We have to write a book about that, as I have been inspired by everyone and everything. But Kanye West has been a great influence, as he is just like me as we have the same star sign, he was born June 8th and I was born June 9th. For all things in music but in business I am a mixture of Jay z and P Diddy. When you look at them I feel I am like them, mix them together you’re the greatest! (He laughs)
Kix: When we have a look at your music, its very humorous. Why?
D’Banj: My character overall is charismatic and funny and I push my music on how I feel and the delivery. I put all this in making my song to performance. Believe you me the world is too serious right now, so I am brining a little bit of D’Banj to their lives. The way the world (people) is through laughter (when he mentioned this the reporter (@shaziyaramji) said also ‘food’ – and made D’Banj even more hungry – as he was placing his food order with this manager in the background).
D’Banj has explored the sights of India as he lived and performed out there, for about a year just outside of Mumbai (as he was speaking hindi, cracking jokes) – he know a number of different languages & also visited Dubai before the release of ‘Oliver Twist’ and this is where he met ‘Kayne West’ before working together.
Kix: Tell me about your genre of music?
D’Banj: When the release of ‘Oliver Twist’ came out, I didn’t want people to compare me to ‘Fela’ which was Afro Beats – so I made a collaboration of a new genre called ‘Afro-Pop’ which blew in the earlier days of ‘Oliver Twist’ defining me in the music scene, soon there is going to be other cross genres for example Afro Jazz which will be heard in the clubs – as Afro Music is hear to stay especially in the UK – I must thank Kanye West for the release soon I might drop my colabo with Kanye (I don’t know when? Ssssh).
“Late this year, D’Banj will be releasing this album called ‘I am D’Banj’”
Kix: Tell me about your Record Label DB Records?
D’Banj: My label is a independent label based in East and West Africa and also out here in the UK where I just signed an artist called ‘Two Chis’ – we develop talented, songwriters and producers and work alongside existing distribution labels and have our own Management team called DKM Media (that also does events, where we have brought a number of successful artists to Nigeria to perform) – also I get involved in development and bring D’Banj style and brand to their tracks by giving them that platform they need in music.
Kix: How did the song ‘Oliver Twist’ come about. From song to video concept?
D’Banj: We where just in New York wrapping up the deal with Kanye West and he mentioned my music has a humorous aspects to it and is very real. What inspired this track was the ‘Why Me?’ single so I jumped in the studio with my producer and took a very simple
hook-line and related it to music all over the world (in specific America). As it started as a joke Ref Beyonce, Nikki and Rihanna and it became a track in it’s self, and now its ‘Bother You’, my latest single.
D’Banj: Beautiful Girls (He laughs), serious though to represent the continent that I am from Nigeria. Nigeria has not been that much on the map in the music industry. I do best by bringing good music to the fans and change that impression to other countries (as we are still a developing country). I am proud to fight till the end in what I do, as there is a lot of good music coming from the UK representing Nigeria. Afro Music is hear to stay.

Takerra Allen (Tupac's sister) interview
Kix Mag: What inspired you to be an author?
Takerra Allen: It’s weird, I was never inspired to be an author. I’m inspired every day to write, to stay an author, however, and that is by so much – music, people, life, art, everything.
But I truly feel like being an author is as natural to me as being a woman or being black. It’s in my bones. I’ve been writing everything since I was a little girl –stories, songs, poems, a diary. I just love to write.
Kix: Your brother, 2Pac, was also heavily into literature. Do you both share similar tastes in the books you read?
Takerra: Some. Pac was a deep reader. We both read ‘The Autobiography of Malcolm X’ and ‘Art of War’, and classics like ‘I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings’ and ‘Catcher in the Rye’…but I also enjoy romance and novels about love for entertainment, similar to what I write. I don’t think Pac was big onromance novels. : )
Kix: What is your favorite book?
Takerra: Tough question. I have ones from different genres but I would say ‘The Bluest Eye’ by Toni Morrison, ‘Salem’s Lot’ by Stephen King, ‘White Lines’ by Tracy Brown, and ‘Dutch’ by Kwame Teague. I can’t pick one. Oh, and ‘The Bible’ of course. Oh, and the one I haven’t written yet. : )
Kix: What’s the process of writing a book? e.g writing drafts all the way to the publishing and promotion?
Takerra: Writing a book for me starts with an emotion I want to create, usually it’s there when I wake up from a dream. I’ve dreamt lots of my novels. I sit down at the computer and I just write. I probably get a good half way through a book before I decide to write an outline to add some type of structure, otherwise I will just go on and on. I wake up out of my sleep and take notes. I think fresh out of my sleep is when I’m most creative. After that, publishing, promotion, I have a great business partner Sandra Mobley who helps me with that. We do it all on our own – printing, marketing, traveling, book fairs, vendors, everything. We have a terrific fan base and so far they have remained loyal. My biggest promotion is staying connected with the fans.
Kix: Describe what love is?
Takerra: Love is everything. It’s what motivates us, it’s what drives us, it’s what scares us, it’s what makes this world go around. People wake up every morning and go to work to provide for their children – that’s love.
Soldiers risk their lives at war for their country – that’s love. People mold themselves into who they want to be for acceptance, ultimately searching for love. True love is everything – it’s like air. It’s happiness, it’s joy, it’s sacrifice, it’s painful at times, it’s loyalty, it’s patience, it’s understanding. When I say love is everything I mean it is EVERYTHING.
Kix: Do you write poetry?
Takerra: I haven’t written poetry in a long time. Well, I did write a poem for a dear friend that passed a little while ago, but no one saw that. I may put it in one of my books and pass it off as a character’s work.
I always wrote poetry for therapy and thought I was just mediocre at it,
allthough I’ve been told it was pretty good.
Kix: Tell me about your latest book you’ve just completed?
Takerra: It’s a sequel. The first novel was Restricted, and it was a soap opera on paper so to speak. Two couples intertwined with lots of scandal, love, and lust. The sequel was requested by the readers so I obliged. I also sort of left the book on a cliffhanger so it was only fair I gave it to them. The sequel is so different than the original. It still has the love and the lust but it’s darker. It has action, suspense; it’s more of a love thriller so to speak. This couple, this happy couple, had their lives turned upside down when a jealous ex tried to kill the girlfriend, who was pregnant at the time. So the sequel is all about a cat and mouse chase, revenge, payback. But it has some twists in there. I’m anxious to see what the readers think of it because a lot of it was new for me. It’s almost 400 pages of pure drama!
Kix: What can we look forward to next from you?
Takerra: More novels, lots more novels as well as a few other surprises. The way that my brother had his hands into different aspects of the arts, I’d love to branch out as well. My business partner and I have been lucky to have been offered lots of new opportunities, we’ve made some new connections in different industries, so things are about to become very busy for us.
Kix: Websites, instagram and Twitter please?
Takerra: Updates about my books are always at hiue.blogspot.com I am on Twitter
@TAKERRA_ALLEN and instagram @bytakerraallen. I’m also on Facebook and
active on all three social media sites. Come reach out to me.
Kix: How do you get your KIX? (Pleasures in life)
Takerra: This is cute. I get my KIX from writing, definitely. I also get my KIX from being in the presence of those I love and enjoying life with them, from watching a movie, to enjoying a meal, to traveling. I just had a baby, so the best KIX I get is from seeing my daughter smile. And God… as long as I know through him all of this is possible, I get my KIX from him, too.
Thank you. Takerra Allen-Taylor.
Mishael Morgan interview
Kix Mag: You starred in and shared a scene in "Total Recall" opposite Collin Farrell. What was that experience like?
Mishael Morgan: It was amazing! I loved working with him. Farrell was so real, and down to earth, it was inspiring. It was a pleasure to work with such a humble and giving actor. I hope I get the opportunity to work with him again!
Kix: Do you think Recall technology will ever exist in the same way as it does in the film?
Mishael: Considering how far technology has come in just the past 10 years, I think it’s only a matter of time. That is why I love movies; they inspire our creativity and can challenge our beliefs of what’s possible. Although somethings in "Total Recall" are a little out there like the instant face changing technology, other things seem quite possible. I think the massive tunnel thing called, “the Fall” and even the sliding cars can be scene in our future. Even the glowing tattoo, that they had on my back, seems like something that can exist any day now.
Kix: Talk to me about your role in “Backpackers”?
Mishael: My role on “Backpackers” was so much fun. I played the free spirited Maya. She decided to take a break from life and fly around the world for a year. Maya is very much a modern-day hippy who leads with her heart and lives each day to its fullest. I loved playing such a wild and adventurous character because I feel like the complete opposite some times.
Kix: You also played a character named Maya in "You got Served". Do you know what the Hindus interpretation of Maya is?
Mishael: I didn’t before but after doing some research, it seems to be a very controversial word in the Hindu culture. I’m still a bit confused lol.
Kix: Do you have a favourite chocolate?
Mishael: My favourite chocolate is Lindt and Ferrero Rocher!
Kix: What’s your favourite fashion label?
Mishael: I love shoes, right now I am obsessed with my new pair of Jimmy Choo’s.
Kix: What projects do you have planned for this year?
Mishael: I currently spend most of my time working on my role, Hilary Curtis for “The Young & The Restless”. You can catch me daily on the Y&R at 12:30 est on CBS.
Kix: Where can people keep up to date with your work?
Mishael: Website: mishaelmorgan.workbooklive.com or MishaelMorgan1 on Twitter or Mishael Morgan on Facebook and Instagram.
Kix: How do your KIX?
Mishael: I get my KIX from good food, exotic travel, movies and my family & friends!

SNiPER interview...The Party Don't Stop!
Kix Mag: How have you been since we last meet up again in your home town Ayia Napa?
SNiPER: Very good, as you know 2013 was a tough year because basically the bank system crashed and pretty much innocent people had to suffer, but we have been fighting ever since, the setback surely hasn't changed the momentum and the fighting spirit is certainly at an all time high right now. Just looking forward to the new year!
Kix: Anyone who's been to Ayia Napa all know about Club Ice, Black and White and Water World. Is there any news developments / ventures to look out for, for 2014 / 2015?
SNiPER: Of course, those who know me, knoooow me! And you know me so that is why you have written down this question in the first place! As always the #THEPARTYDONTSTOP and we are always thinking of new ideas, every year as everyone can see we constantly come with new things, and 2014/2015 will surely be no different, actually we're just getting started to be honest.
Kix: What are your top 3 moments of 2013 and why? What would you say your biggest achievement this year was?
SNiPER: That's a tough one, the first show of summer 2014 with Charlie Sloth was epic in Club Ice, as you know I bypass all bookings until my first world tour, so if anyone wants to see me live they need to come to my venues for now, maybe that is why I will purchase some winter spots so i can have an excuse to do shows all year round, haha. It was the one where you unleash that energy pilled up for the first show, it was epic, I will be posting highlights for my live shows in 2014 just to prepare everyone for the madness next summer and you will see what I mean.
My Waterpark featuring on CNN as one of the best Waterparks in the world is like a, "ok I'm going to bed now, goodnight, wake me up when you get your biz on CNN! Haaaa" That moment was epic too, the grind never stops (It's 4.30am been up since 6.00am yesterday and my mac is on 20% working till the last % that's A.M.) and outside of the music seeing the companies do well
and taking the group up a level is always a pleasure.
Another great moment was Sway, and Jaguar skills who is really one of my fav DJ's of all time, what a ninja nutter! Of course there was my Kandi shows, where you get to see me almost every week on the beach with the band, that was special, and 2014 the show is so much bigger, all the beach parties on the beach were dope, like Fire On The Beach etcŠ Getting to see the homie Giggs as he didn't come for a hot minute, the Wiley drama was interesting Wretch 32 is always bless, and of course the Tinie Tempah challenge. Having to do a show to 5,000 people who came just to see Tinie was a challenge, and it was great, we killed it, I have been enjoying the live shows so much over the past couple of years, me and the crowd are working on a huge conspiracy theory and it is a good one!
Kix: We've noticed that you've been hibernating for a while before you popped up with new hit "The Party Doesn't Stop".. How long does it usually take you to write a song?
SNiPER: Sometimes 5 minutes sometimes 5hours, sometimes 5 days, but who's counting, I make records that will stay, I never hibernate, I just had to make sure after the set backs that in 2014 you will be getting A LOT MORE OF MUSIC, because good music is needed.
Kix: Tell us about the album?
SNiPER: What album? My debut one or the follow up? I never hibernate. Hahaha. Just keep an eye out for the SNiPER on the rooftop in 2014.
Kix: So what should we expect to see from you in 2014?
SNiPER: Nothing, expectations are for acts that have a fan base in the millions, I'm an artist not an act, I will be happy if I gain a new supporter a day and I would rather they stick with me till the end, that's priceless, other than that there is music coming and I also started producing for others again as I had to hold that back whilst I was working on my own stuff.
Kix: Any plans of you coming to the UK in the near future?
SNiPER: I'm always there.
Kix: Kix Mag are excited to be doing business with you mid 2014. Could you tell our fans what they can expect from 3fifty7?
SNiPER: Are we? Hahaha, I think everyone should give credit to Kix for the upcoming project because we are providing what we have always provided, Kix is just giving it their own touch, and I truly hope you find success and I wish you best of luck, we wouldn't work with you if we felt you didn't have what it takes.
Kix: Last but not least, can you please remind us how you get your Kix?
SNiPER: Honesty, Hardwork and Loyalty. When the smoke clears that's what stays standing, too much of that complex web in this business, so I am happy to be out of it, in away and observe from a distance. Like a SNiPER.
Words by Pedro Shippuden
Ron Simons
Kix Mag: Welcome to Kix Mag. Blue Caprice and Mother of George. Two independent films that each carry their own particular voice. From your perspective, what is it that each voice is saying?
Ron Simmons: If you're referring to moral of the story, we don't burden the audience with moral message. Each film is an exploration. Mother of George, for instance, explores the family dynamic of a particular subculture and the depths to which a person will go to realize a dream even if the actions diverge from the direction of her moral compass. It also explores the basic human desire to please (family) and adhere to a cultural norm. Blue Caprice, by contrast, explores the issue of violence and begs the question: is a killer born or made and, if made, what factors may contribute to that genesis.
Kix Mag: Mother of George has a wonderful chemistry of colours. Why are the colours so important in telling its story?
Ron: For me the colors do two things. First they immerse immediately into the world of Nigerian culture. Secondly, they also mirror the very storytelling that it underscores. For example the opening scene is a celebration of marriage. Later we see the use of reds and blues and the story becomes more charged with drama (red) and the cooling of the relations of the characters in the film (blue). I think the use of color was chosen by the two gifted artists who's vision is realized on the screen: the extraordinary talent of our DP Bradford Young and our director who is gifted to have an extensive and lauded experience as photographer, Andrew Dusumou.
Kix Mag: What was the experience like working with Isaiah Washington in Blue Caprice and Isaach De Bankolé <http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0207218/> in Mother of George?
Ron: I had more experience in working with Isaiah as we shared a scene in the film. With reflect to Isaach, I found him to be an Actor's actor - which is to say, talented and gracious/giving. Isaiah is a professional. His commitment to character development and truth in EVERY frame of the film is inspiring. His is both committed to his art yet open to discussion and interpretation. The latter would be a great question to ask of our director Alexandre Moors.
Kix Mag: What is the role of a film Producer?
Ron: Well there are different kinds of producers. I fancy myself a creative producer. My co-career as actor allows me the benefit of appreciation for, and recognition of, good story telling. I'm the producer who will give writers script notes if the character arc is muddied or unclear. I like to suss out the theme, clarity and pacing of the story. My business background affords me the opportunity to exercise my business analysis skills and my skills of managing interpersonal and group dynamics. There are other producers who are technical and whose main focus is to deliver the film on time and on budget. Pay them and they deliver that service
Kix Mag: If you were stuck on a desert island with only one books, which would it be?
Ron: The Bible
Kix Mag: What's your opinion on Obama?
Ron: Glad he's our President.
Kix Mag: websites, twitter, Instagram etc and up and coming projects?
Ron: Newest project is the documentary 25 to Life.
Kix Mag: How do you get your KIX?
Ron: Travel, reading, time with my dog and, of course, movies and plays.
Ethan Lipton interview
Kix Mag: Can you tell us a bit about your play?
Ethan: “NO PLACE TO GO” is a music-theatre piece about a man who learns that the company where he’s worked for 10 years is relocating to Mars. It’s about that Wile E. Coyote moment when you run off the edge of the Grand Canyon and make the mistake of looking down. It’s heartfelt, political and funny, and I perform it with my band, which has been playing music in NYC since 2005.
Kix Mag: Can you describe the creative process behind this play?
Ethan: Shanta Thake, Director of Joe’s Pub – one of the great music venues in the States – aske me to write a narrative evening of music for a series she was creating called New York Voices. I spent nine months writing the songs, then arranged them with my band mates (Eben Levy, Ian Riggs and Vito Dieterle), all the while working on the text. The Director Leigh Silverman helped us shape it into a show, and the public decided to produce a theatrical run in spring of 2012, where it won an Obie Award.
Kix Mag: Why is theatre important?
Ethan: We need to hear stories, and we need to hear them some of them live while sitting in the same room as other human beings. It makes us more human.
Kix Mag: Is there a particular chapter in the history of theatre that you enjoy the most?
Ethan: I’ve always admired the Absurdists, whenever they arrive.
Kix Mag: How does an aspiring playwright get his big break?
Ethan: Either your get lucky and keep at it, or you keep at it and get lucky. I think most of us would prefer the formal path, but I can say there are surprising rewards for hanging in long enough to take the latter.
Kix Mag: Auditioning cast members? Chore of choir?
Ethan: This piece is cast entirely of guys I play music with, so that was easy. In general, I enjoy casting plays. I guess if you don’t enjoy casting, you could always start a band.
Kix Mag: What's your favourite architectural landmark?
Ethan: There is a Mexican restaurant near where I grew up called Mission Burrito. I don’t think another building has inspired me more.
Kix Mag: Self motivation - what's your personal definition of it?
Ethan: If you want a career as an artist, you have to treat it like a job. You don’t have to treat it like a bad job —you don’t have to be a total jerk as your own boss —but you have to know that if you don’t do the work, no one will. I’m still terrified to face the blank page, but it no longer seems like a choice. I don’t need motivation to work anymore; I need motivation for turning off the computer so I can exercise or – perish the thought – relax.
Kix Mag: What's the best theatre character and movie character you've seen portrayed?
Ethan: I have endless affection for George and Martha of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?,” and it’s hard to beat Bill Murray in anything.
Kix Mag: Websites, twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc?

Kix Mag: Thank you for doing this interview and shout out to Susan at Souled Records for everything.
Words Trevor Small
Colman Domingo interview 2013
Kix Mag: Your rehearsing for a play due to begin in September. Talk to me about it?
Colman Domingo: The plays called a "Boy and a Soul". Instead of a love story about growing up in inner city Philidelphia in the late 70's and early 80's its really about this guys journey when he starts cleaning out his parents home, his childhood home, and putting some memories away as he's trying to look towards the future. His parents are suffering from different illnesses. It's autobiographical based strongly on my life and what I was going through at the time but it's also about soul music, music of the catalysts, music that stayed with me. Some of the music is inspired by the story and some of the story is inspired by the music. (Playing at the Tricycle Theatre in London on Saturday 21st September 2013 www.tricycle.co.uk)
Kix: Do you prefer acting on stage or acting infront of the camera?
Colman: I prefer both. One supports the other. I love working in television and film, I've been working and doing a lot of films lately and I really enjoy that work. Stage work sort of like fits like a glove. I've been acting on stage for about 22 years, its something I sort of know like the back of my hand in a way. TV and film is nice financially, it help supports my theater work.
Kix: Butler is one of the new movies your in. What's it about?
Colman: Butler is a beautiful script. It's directed by Lee Daniel's, who directed Shadow Lands. It's a true story about a White House butler who's in the White House for 40 years from the Eisenhower administration in 1957 to president Obama, so its really examining the United States through the eyes of this Butler. It stars Forest Whiticker, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Cuban Gooding JR, Howard Rickman, everyone, Robin Williams, I also happen to be in it. I play the head of the butler staff, I play the boss of Cuban Gooding JR, Lenny Kravitz etc.
Kix: How difficult is it to learn a script for a play?
Colman: It all depends on the script. It seems that I never get easy scripts. I might get a 5 page monologue. Even my own show which is a 90 minute show, I always think, why would I do this to myself but its just a sort of discipline you learn, a challenge, and you know that people are going to pay for tickets to come and see your show so you'll figure out how to memorize it. I have a lot of different things that I'll use, sometimes I'll write out my script on butcher-blot paper and will tape them all over my bedroom and so before I go to sleep im looking over lines, when I wake up I'm looking over lines. So its constantly going into my mind.
Kix: What's your favorite spot in London?
Colman: So far my favorite place has been Rosa's kitchen which is a Tai place in Soho. So far that's been the best Tai food I have ever had.
Kix: Who's the coolest Hollywood actor?
Colman: My coolest Hollywood actor is actually a Brit, Daniel Day Lewis. He's the coolest. He's a professional through and through. He's kind, he's generous. I was just been in the opening with him for Lincoln and he was really one of the kindest people I've ever met. He's very respectful to everyone on set. He's a master of what he does and he gets everybody else rising to the occasion.
Kix: What other projects are you working on?
Colman: I have a few movies coming out. One is called Newlyweeds. It's about a pot head couple and I play this guy who gets in the way and puts the moves on this girl. I really play a crazy dude in this movie. Then I'll be staying in London a little while longer. I'll be doing a show called Scottsboro Boys which was on Broadway about 3 years ago that'll premier at the Young Vic www.youngvic.org
Kix: What's your process before you go onto stage?
Colman: I really have to get myself in good physical shape and mental shape. Also I have to warm up my voice and my body. I'm one of those actors about 4 hrs before show time I cut down all communication, so that whatever state I need to be in, it's as if I'm almost protecting that energy. I don't answer phone calls, I don't speak to anyone it's a winding down process because I have to restore a lot of energy for the performance. Lunch around 3 pm, hour or so later, warm up with stretching or yoga, but I don't talk to anyone during that period to get my mind focused.
Kix: How can people keep up to date with you?
Colman: You can follow me on Twitter, its Colman Domingo, I have my fan page on Facebook and I have a website which is www.colmandomingo.com
Colman: I get my KIX from good friends, a good cocktail, and lots of laughter.
Hussan Fatal from Outlawz EXCLUSIVE interview
Kix mag: Welcome to Kix Mgazine Hussein Fatal. What's the definition of Thug Life?
Hussan Fatal: To me thug life is the life of anyone in a struggle no matter what colour you are. In other words they used to label us thugs as a bad thing, we just switched it around and made it a cool thing. Just Like the word N!gg*! Anyone on the street tryna eat that's Thuglife. Anyone in a relationship with problems, running the streets doing drugs to run from their problems that's Thuglife. That dumb ass show Love & Hip-Hop that's Thuglife, that's not Love & Hip Hop. See when we show them Thuglife in the streets they hate it, or say they do, then you turn on the T.V and their broadcasting Thuglife with made up characters lol.
Kix: Made N!gg*z is a classic song of the Gang-Related soundtrack. What was it like working on the set with Tupac for the music video?
Hussan: It was very energetic working with Tupac. Wasn't a dull moment and I enjoyed it.
Kix: Many people have said that Tupac was a workaholic and an obsessive book reader. What was his routine like and what were his favourite books?
Hussan: Don't know about his favourite books but I know he was a fan of classical sh!t that made sense. Routine was 5am movie set whether it was for “Gridlock” or the other one with the Roth guy and that beautiful friend lady, the baddest cr*ckhead I ever seen in my life. Yes 5am Movie set - I was with him all the time - photoshoots, interviews in movie trailer by 4pm, studio by 12-1pm, then club, 3am home and 5am same sh!t again.
Kix: Why the name 'The Outlawz’?
Hussan: Well every Outlaw member besides me wanted their group name to be the Little Homies. When I got back from Jersey PAC came into the kitchen and told me our group name would be Lil Homies. I nipped that in the bud and said no it’s not, our name is the Outlawz. You gotta remember Tupac had a group already Dramacydle, that was him, Big Malcom, K-Dawg, Young Cap who was Kadafi & Mutah. All of them were Dramacydle. When Kadafi pulled me in, sh!t changed, dramatically. Then it became two groups Kadafi, PAC & I were the Outlawz, but PAC and the rest of them were Dramacydle. We had two groups in one, but anyway I chose the Outlawz because that title best described my lifestyle then & now, I mean sh!t picture us now 14 years later talking bout we the Lil Homies, lol
Kix: Lol very true. What projects are you currently working on?
Hussan: I just finished the "Interview" an all audio and no video album. I'm working on me & Young Nobles second album. I also just wrapped up my Book.
Kix: What's your feelings toward the music industry?
Hussan: What music industry? There isn't one anymore. Hip-Hop was a black thing. Obliviously black dummies have opinions that count on some sh!t they know nothing about, some sh!t that's not theirs. Industry is done as far as we knew it. It’s watered down. Mainstream radio only spin African American artist, that's gonna dumb down our community. They don't want our people teaching the hood real life things. We went from Thuglife to Swagg. From 2pac to 2chains from Micheal Jackson to Robin Thicke. I love Robin’s music but come on where did he get that soul from?. In other words Hip-Hop is being dumbed down in the black community but in the suburbs you guys have Macklemore who speaks more of the Thuglife (struggle) more than any of these rap n!gg*s. They talking about Molly, talking about Versace, throwing millions on naked b!tch*s in video’s. Where's the Message? There isn't one and if they had a message they wouldn't get spins on the radio. So to all you mainstream rap n!gg*s, good job, you work for them now, your dumbing down the race & culture thanks.. Shout outs to Macklemore.
Kix: What is your message to anyone who is trying to get into the music industry?
Hussan: My message to anyone trying to get in the music industry is don't! Stay home read a Book and in 5 years there will be no industry and n!gg*s is gonna have to either play sports or be smart as f*(k.
Kix: What books do you read?
Hussan: I read all types of books when I feel like it, but these days if I want a good story I just read the Essex county section in the Star Ledger.
Kix: Do you have a website/YouTube/Twitter?
Hussan: Instagram: Fatalvelli , Twitter: Fatalvelli Facebook Hussein Fatal.
Hussan: I get my Kix going fishing and chilling with my kids, schooling them on their uncles Kadafi, Tupac & Outlawz.
Kix: We feel privilege to do this interview, thank you very much and stay in touch with us. Your welcome back anytime.
Kimberly Zanni interview July 2013
Exclusive Kix Magazine’s first UK interview with Kimberly Zanni, President of Gelato Di Babbo Icecream and the Zani corporation.
Kix Mag: Welcome to KIX MAGAZINE, I really love the brand presentation of Gelato Di Babbo ice cream. Talk to me about the process involved in designing it?
Kimberly Zanni: I have gone through four packaging designs over the last 6 years. At first I used to design everything and run labels off my laser printer, then hand wrap each pint... next I went to a company who designed my new logo…the packaging was pretty cookie cutter like with my logo. Each flavour had a different colour. It was very bold and bright. At that point labels were coming in on big rolls and we were still hand wrapping them. A little over a year ago I started a new packaging design, with a line in the background for each flavour, I decided I wanted each flavour in English and Italian to keep with the "Authentic" theme. My story of how I started from a cart 6
years ago on the main street of my small town is printed on each pint.
These cups were now printed on five colour, printed plastic on the lids and pints... no one else does that here. They are printing on plastic maybe one colour... or full on paper. I didn’t like the way my product tasted in cardboard. So I bit the bullet to take less profit to serve my product in a better container. The first run of 35,000 of each cup there were slight defects and I made the plastic company throw away 35000 containers of each flavour. They weren't very happy to say the least with me... after eating the costs. Yes, I am really that hardcore!
Kix: Why did you decide to name it Gelato di Babbo™?
Kimberly Zanni: I was vacuum cleaning one day, trying to figure out what would go with "Gelato". and I heard my ex husband call my son "Babbo". which means daddy as a term of endearment. At that moment it just stuck!
Kix: Gelato di Babbo™ has become one of the largest manufacturers of Artisan Gelati and Sorbetti in Pennsylvania – and its national distribution has grown from 20 stores to over 200 in 15 states all within 5 years. How much of a task has it been to accomplish this?
Kimberly Zanni: I did it all alone, working 20 hours a day for several years. Many days I would break down and wonder if I was really meant to be doing this.
Kix: In the Gelato Di Babbo™ advertising campaigns you are the face to Gelato di Babbo™ Why is it important to you to be the face to your own product?
Kimberly Zanni: A lot of people in food on Fb has become the face of their products. Once people can see who they are supporting they can relate to that person. I am not sure why I started using myself as the face of my product. I started getting a lot of press and people were like "You are that girl I read about or saw on TV" A lot of times people will come out to events just to see me then I noticed the more I started playing the part of being a strong Italian women and looking sexy it started to peek more interest. Sex sells what can I say?
Kix: Any plans to stock Gelato di Babbo™ ice cream here in the United Kingdom or is it a worldwide vision you have for your Gelato di Babbo™ brand?
Kimberly Zanni: I would love to go worldwide, I have enough production to be able to produce it. My biggest problem is getting people to stay away from national and international brands that they are already buying now to try mine here in the US. I think it will be a while before I am able to find a reason to export.
Kix: Does icecream have sex appeal?
Kimberly Zanni: Sure it does, if you play it right and almost everything Italian has sex appeal.
Kix: Which flavor of Gelato di Babbo™ do you personally love and eat the most?
Kimberly Zanni: My Pistachio is a favourite. I went all the way to Bronte Italy and walked on the volcanic rock of Mt Etna to get the best pistachio in the world which I import under my other company Zanni Foods Inc and use in my gelato.
Kix: What type of music do you listen to?
Kimberly Zanni: I love house music, electronic, 90's rap music, Trance, I grew up during the "rave scene." Many times when I am making gelato I am shaking my ass to some kind of dance music but I always have music on all day and all night.
Kix: What's your web site, Facebook group, Twitter information?
Kimberly Zanni:www.zannifoods.com I am adding gelato di babbo site soon. Gelato Di Babbo on Fb and Same on Twitter
Kix: Exclusive Question: what's the name of the newest icecream you have scheduled to be released?
Kimberly Zanni: I have no plans for any new flavours at the moment, ok, well the next one is a super high protein product. I am all about healthy living.
Kimberly Zanni: I love to dance, travel, fashion, and being social.
Jean Francois Dor interview June 2013
Kix Mag: Thank you for doing this interview. We're sitting in the Russell Sq hotel and it’s a beautiful choice. I just want to ask why this particular hotel to do our interview?
Jean Francois Dor: Just for convenience as I just had a meeting here and then I have to go to the Foundling Museum around the corner for an event.
Kix: What is it you love most about the work that you do?
Jean: The diversity as I do so many different things. I am concerned about people, arts and life.
Kix: What do you remember about the very first event you put on?
Jean: The smiles of people. That's actually what always I find fulfilling.
Kix: What companies or persons have you organized events for?
Jean: There's a list on my website. www.jfdor.co.uk although not exhaustive it includes American Express, Belgium Tourist Office, the Embassies of Belgium, France, Chile, Cuba, Peru, Tunisia and Spain, The Bank of Scotland, IBM,
Shell, Ministry of Defence, Galleries Lafayette, Eurostar, Ericsson and various other companies and private clients.
Kix: You hold high positions in a lot of influential clubs where you seem to be either the chairman or the vice chairman. How have you accomplished this?
Jean: When I arrived in London in 1987 my progression was very fast, I became manager within two years and general manager within three.
I used to manage restaurants and hotels and when your in a high powered job people invite you to things and ask if you may like to join their committees and boards. At the moment I'm saying no to everyone as I am trying to leave some of these boards and committees to concentrate on my passions. I also want to paint more.
Kix: I acknowledge your high connections, years of experience and the willingness to always offer me mentoring. You are humble and down to earth. What keeps you grounded?
Jean: I don't know if I'm grounded at all. Sometimes I behave erratically like everybody else. Perhaps, I'm very grounded because I try to be natural and just be myself.
Kix: Do you have a favourite poet?
Jean: No. I'm re-reading Rimbaud and Verlaine at the moment. I skip from one poet to the other. I do like French poetry and have written a few myself many years ago.
Kix: How do you determine potential in someone when you meet them?
Jean: How well prepared they are. I am told that the first five second of an interview is when you first decide to hire someone.
I have just interviewed someone for an internship who was so ill prepared and didn't know anything about me. I had interviewed people on skype first of all as some come from far away and its easier for all parties. You can decide pretty quickly what their levels of English are. One guy was really lovely but he was asking me questions that showed me he didn't actually know anything about me. Had he just looked at my website he would have known a little bit more about me.
Kix: You are also a painter and are involved in the arts world. I have bought along to this interview a budding artist to meet you, her name is Francine Seaton whom I feel is a very talented painter. What advice can you offer her on being a successful and publicly noted painter?
Jean: Just ring all the bells, that's really what you have to do literally just go around with your portfolio and try and sell. You can be a good artist but you have to sell, that's what it’s all about. If you have to sell your
work for £20 a head at the start go for it and sell it because it will inspire you to do more and create more. Otherwise you will end up with a huge accumulation of paintings.
Jean: Champagne and friends, lot of it!
J Saurus interview June 2013
Kix Mag: Nice to interview young talent for a change, we recently interviewed another young talented Rapper from the US called Chi Chi aged 10 check her out sometime! How long have you been rapping for?
J Saurus: I will definitely, I've been rapping for quite a while now. I remember being in the playground like at 8 years of age rapping. However I wasn't taking it too seriously until last year.
Kix: Your very talented with your art form, which rappers have inspired you?
J Saurus: Thanks a lot, I've had influences from all round but the rappers that influenced me the most are the likes of Ludacris, Busta Rhymes and recently I've been listening to alot of Ab-Soul.
Kix: Where did the idea of Jurassic Park apart from the obvious?
J Saurus: Well other than it correlating with my stage name, the subtitle 'Survived Extinction' represents the journey I’m looking to embark on. I feel that rap has changed in the recent years but with me J.Saurus survivng extinction I can bring back the realness and passion to the art.
Kix: Whats your views on the state of the UK rap scene today?
J saurus: My views on the UK rap scene is mixed, I feel it’s healthy in terms of the amount of acts coming through, however I feel not enough are making it through into the mainstream market.
Kix: Your choice of beats are very laid back and have an oldskool feel to them. What make you want to use them?
J saurus: I like old skool beats the most when it comes to rap to be honest. Also, I feel the beats I use are seasonal, they reflect the mood I'm in a lot of the time. The instrumentals that were used for the mixtape showed a story within itself, they showed passion and emotion and that’s exactly what I hoped to project through lyrics.
Kix: Tell me a little bit about you! College, what your studying, like and dis-likes etc?
J Saurus: Well I just finished college so finally I'm on my summer break. I like a lot of things, as you know; music, women, I like comedy, eating food, I even enjoy wildlife. *laughs*
Kix: Who is your producer, tell me about him, as they never really get the shine they deserve?
J Saurus: That's great you asked about him, because not many do get recognition. My main producer is Delboy of DSDEnt. You can follow him on twitter @DelsMuzik. He’s a young producer full of creativity and work rate and like me, he’s looking to progress and further his career in music.
Kix: Whats your next moves and plans? For the next 3 years?
J Saurus: I've got a few plans, in 3 years I’m hoping we can take over the world but it’s a bit too ambitious. Right now I’m just focusing on the short term aims. That’s just really to push this mixtape as much as possible, perform at shows, gain a solid and supportive fan base while hoping to release a single by the end of summer.
Kix: How can people get in contact with you?
J Saurus: You can find me on twitter @sorawsaurs , Facebook at Soraw Saurus even Instagram @sorawsaurus . I handle all these accounts so it will be easy to get in contact with me.
Kix: How do you get your kix? (Pleasures in life, excitement etc)?
J Saurus: I get my kix through the simple things in life, the small things we often don't notice. I feel the littlest things are sometimes the most important and effective.
Kix: Thanks for the interview good luck in everything you do and stay tuned to Kix Mag.
Jeff Mayweather interview (Floyd Mayweather uncle)
Floyd Mayweather Jr is the highest paid athlete's in the world of sports entertainment. He is also boxings undefeated champion. Mr Paperview. KIX Magazine talk to Floyd Jr 's uncle Jeff Mayweather in his 3rd ever interview he has ever given to the UK press.
Kix Mag: Welcome to KIX Magazine. You are a direct descendant from a family of warriors. Your nephew Floyd is the highest paid athlete in sports. Is it genetics that make the Mayweathers so great?
Jeff Mayweather: I won’t really say it's all genetics or we all would have done as well as Floyd Jr. I think hard work is a part of our DNA. Floyd Jr was almost a creation of what his dad started pretty much from the day he was born,
working on what the whole world is witnessing now.
Kix: To a young kid reading this interview, has his/her whole life in front of
them and aspires towards greatness. What advice can you offer them about
life and how to accomplish it?
Jeff: First of all you have to seek out something you have a sincere passion about, something that you can embrace and it makes you feel good by just being a part of what it is you chose in life. To you it's not work, it's making a difference in the world we live in, no matter how big or how small. Most important part is you look forward to it.
Kix: Training is a huge word in the boxing vernacular. Why is training such a
complicated part to a fighter’s lifestyle and why do so many fighter’s have
an issue dedicating themselves to it?
Jeff: Well I think that Boxing is a sport in which an individual chooses for themselves. You are not drafted into boxing. With that being said that it is a choice - you set the standard as well as the criteria of success - not meaning winning Championships that's something that has to dwell deep within. Then you have to find that special person that you can bond with and really trust your life witch will allow them to help you to fullfill your quest and pull that Champion out of you that dwells deep inside, slowly it will rise to the surface with patience hard work game plan and perseverance.
Kix: What's the best boxing match you've watched?
Jeff: Live, I would say Brandon Rios versus Mike Alvarado on television George Foreman versus Ron Lyle.
Kix: What's your fondest moment in your nephew Floyd's career?
Jeff: Him winning his first World Title. I cried like a baby plus all of the brothers entered the ring that night. We all had a part in getting him there.
Kix: Floyd is incredibly bright. Does he read many books?
Jeff: Your under the assumption that because Floyd intelligence in the ring equates to being smart by reading, this is the School of Hard Knocks. You learn that from years of repetitious training trying to master and perfect your craft the two don't have to coincide at all. Floyd has a flair about him that kind of prepared him for being in the spotlight. Being so good at so young, it became normal to have a microphone in your face. Far as reading books, I have no idea but his intelligence in the ring I know exactly where that comes from. He says it every training camp "Hard Work Dedication "
is the motto Floyd Mayweather Jr lives by and always has when it comes to boxing.
Kix: Are there any fighters that we should keep an eye out for?
Jeff: Of course, there is Adrian Broner I think is a future superstar when Floyd exits boxing for good , Triple G is one to watch as well and Adnonis Steveson and Errol Spence, Quiet Killer certainly one to watch.
Kix: Why do you love boxing?
Jeff: I was inherited by boxing. My brother Roger followed Floyd Sr, I followed Roger. Never cared about boxing loved Basketball was pretty good in my High School days. Always thought I would be in the NBA but 130 lbs 5'8 reality sit in. So after graduating from Western Michigan University I was faced with a real choice, Job or giving myself a chance to live out my dream as a professional Athlete, I took option number two because I didn't want to lie to myself about what I would have and could have done as a professional Boxer so I threw myself into the moment did okay won a minor world title fought some Hall of Fame fighters then retired on my own terms at the young age of 32.
Kix: Any websites, fight dates or any news you'd like to share with us Jeff?
Jeff: If you get a chance take a look at my website www.proboxinginsider.com and www.mmainsider.com they are an adjoined site covering hot topics in boxing and in mix martial arts , I have so many fight dates can't list them all but the one's that are televised June 15th in Winnipeg Canada. I have Roy "Big Country" Nelson in the U.F.C and 4 days later return of King Mo on Spike TV in Bellator June 19th.
Jeff: Watching a movie, chilling out listen to a nice mellow C.D or go out and challenge my fighters either in a game of pool or get killed by them in a game of Bowling.
Chi Chi Monet interview (10 year old rapper)
Kix Mag: Chi Chi Monet welcome to Kix Magazine. Why is music such a powerful tool in delivering a good or bad message to people and why are people so heavily influenced by music?
Chi Chi Monet: People are heavily influenced by the music because there are all different types of music for all different types of moods. If a person is sad, he/she may want to listen to some sad songs or they may want to hear happy songs to cheer them up. That's what makes music so great and influential. I choose to use my music to deliver good messages and I enjoy the reaction from my fans.
Kix: You recently answered Michelle Obama's obesity challenge with your song titled 'Move. How affective has the song been?
Chi Chi: It's very affective, my new single 'MOVE' encourages kids to stay in shape, eat healthy, and encourage kids to try out new sports and/or activities. Because of the song, we attracted other brands who have partnered with me to create an initiative called Get Kids Movin' (getkidsmovin.com) which is a series of interactive fitness tours for kids. Childhood Obesity is a serious problem and I'm happy to do my part in helping raise awareness of the issue.
Kix: Why is education important to people and what obstacles do people face in getting a good education?
Chi Chi: Education should be important to everyone because it can get you far in life, but some obstacles people may face in getting a good education is lack of money, a lack of good parenting, and a lack of motivation to learn.
Kix: Are you inspired by anybody in particular?
Chi Chi: I'm inspired by my father because he encourages me to stay confident and to never give up in anything I want to do. I am musically influenced by Drake, Adele, Beyonce, Marroon 5, and Chris Brown to name a few.
Kix: What do you hope to accomplish by the end of 2013 and what do you hope to begin in 2014?
Chi Chi: I hope to meet The First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama and perform for her with my sister by the end of the year, and in 2014 I hope to have my clothing line launched.
Kix: I think that you have a universal message. Are you planning on touring?
Chi Chi: Yes, I would love to have an international tour in the near future. Currently, I am touring for the Summer with my "GET KIDS MOVIN" initiative in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. www.getkidsmovin.comand various other events.
Kix: How were you discovered?
Chi Chi: My dad discovered me when I was six years old. I was in the first grade and I wanted to make a song for my class. I asked him to help me because he has a studio. On our ride home from school, we came up with my very first song "I LIKE TO LEARN;" 45 minutes later we had the lyrics completed. He helped me record it and we even made a video and everyone loved it! I've been rapping and singing ever since.
Kix: Do you enjoy your celebrity status?
Chi Chi: Yes I enjoy the celebrity status, I really enjoy rocking out on stage and it feels good when the crowd sings along with my songs.
Kix: What's Chi Chi Monet's message to the youth? Chi Chi: I have many messages, but my main message to the youth is to always work for your dreams and never wait for them and it's better to try and fail than to never try at all.
Kix: What's Chi Chi Monet's message to the adults?
Chi Chi: My message to adults is to be the best parents to their kids that they can be and the next generation is watching so lead by example.
Kix: Chi Chi, at times you might feel as if the world isn't adjusting as quickly or as positively as you'd like it to. You're going to remain strong and positive and keep doing what you're doing won't you?
Chi Chi: Yes, I am going to continue my music career with positive messages and influences and I will continue to do well in school because I plan to be a heart surgeon one day.
Kix: How do you get your KIX? (Pleasures in life).
Chi Chi: I like to kick back and play outside, tumble, jump on my trampoline, dance, cheer, read and look at movies.
Kix Mag: Thanks for doing your first ever UK interview with us, we feel privelige to interview such a young, articulate, bright and talented young person. Good luck in everything you do.
Leila Steinbergs (Tupacs former manager) interview
2pac and Leila Steinberg and cool books
Kix Mag: Looking back over Tupac's life you played an important role in his
development. Tell me about your relationship with 2pac and why you think he
became as iconic as he has?
Leila Steinbergs: He played a very important role in my development. Ones violence is
equivalent to ones pain and ones reach is also equivalent to ones vision.
He had an enormous heart and so it is for this reason that he touched so many
hearts. I love and miss him always.
Kix: There is a clip in the “Thug Angel” documentary where you discuss some of
the literature Tupac read. They are very in-depth books. How did Tupac
manage to read so much yet be able to accomplish the huge amount's of work
he achieved?
L.S: The more you do, the more you will get done.
Kix: You also have a passion for reading Leila. What or whom inspired you to
be a reader?
L.S: Escaping to the library in elementary school. Peggy Shackleton in 7th
grade who helped me to know the world was in my hands through the stories
of its inhabitants and that I could travel the globe falling in love with
it’s writers. I love words and the carving and scripting of language. Tupac
was the ultimate language artist.
Kix: Take us back to the moment you and Tupac first met. What was it about
him that stood out?
L.S: His eyes and his laugh are still as glorious and vivid as my grandsons smiling at me right now.
Kix: The Hip Hop scene in London is blowing up at the moment. New stars are
being born and the industries infrastructure is beginning to bring about
financial rewards for those stars and the home grown urban media companies
that have helped push them into the mainstream. Some look at this as a
natural state of affairs but I see corporate interest. What do you think?
L.S: Not all corporations are bad. Consumers have the power and can change
the face of corps by guiding artists to rep healthier ones. There is no
separation from the artist who wants success and build corporation.
Commerce means you turn your art into lifestyle and success. We must not
run from success. We need to create a new model for what it is to incorporate.
Kix: Do you listen to any UK artists?
L.S: To many to name. I have listened to UK artists since I was a child
from King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Genesis Peter Gabriel to the multitude
now. The UK has given us voices un-paralleled
Kix: You currently run some music projects. Tell us about them?
L.S: Currently I manage Earl Sweatshirt of Odd Future and many others I am
developing and managing.
Kix: How did you become involved with the music industry to begin with?
L.S: I was born in a musical arts family. Then I became a parent and needed
to business with my passion to survive.
Kix: Do you have a favorite flower?
L.S: Not a favourite but I love night blooming Jasmine outside my window when I
sleep. Roses in vases and Gardenias in the flower pot.
Kix: What's the last movie you watched?
L.S: Death of a shadow.
Kix: Mozart, Bach or Beethoven. Who's your favorite?
L.S: All the above at different times.
Kix: Share any websites, events etc?
L.S: Leila Steinberg on Pheed for all my updates.
Kix: Leila, how do you get your KIX?
L.S: The greatest pleasure is my family and parenthood, music, good books,
dramatic movies, beautiful places, travelling, art, the ocean, sports, yoga,
eating, dancing, and on and on I love my life and thankful to still be here
after losing so many.
SNiPER interview 2013
Kix Mag: Yo SNiPER what's good?
SNiPER: I'm cool thanks bro...
Kix: Thanks for taking the time out to chat to me.
SNiPER: Come on man it's not the first or the last.
Kix: Yeah done know...I'm looking forward to July. Gonna be over there for the Summer Love Beach Festival.
SNiPER: Yeah I know, have got some big things planned for it.
Kix: Yeah I can imagine... In fact it's very big for you right about now even though things did kinda go a bit pear shaped on your side but you still holding it together and doing it big. How is it that your managing to keep it that way?
SNiPER: Well, to be honest with you the idea to keep pushing on and putting records out has always been there. Regardless of what happens around the world, like say, banks crashing or volcano's erupting for example.
Through the madness, the idea is to make and put out records has always been on the agenda and it's not gonna stop. When you do this music thing and actually do the damn thing, you pretty much do it as long as you live and breath. You can't stop doing it because it's who you are regardless of budgets or whatever. You can't not do it.
Kix: Yeah most definitely.
SNiPER: Ok at the moment we're a couple bags down or what not and can say that I was in a better position this time last year compared to this one. Me and you knew each other back then anyway, so I think you'd agree when I say that at present we are not where not where we want to be but that's life and you deal with it. You slap a smile back on your face and get cracking, because you have the ability to get cracking in a way that others don't.. It's bless, it's a blessed moment within the darkness.
Kix: Yeah I hear that bro and I must say that since we first met I've always liked your attitude. Trust me bro keep it moving because it's big, it's very big and it's getting bigger. The first time I watched your 'It's Big' video I thought " he's going in ou know." How did you come up with the concept?
SNiPER: Well, obviously you where there when I put the '11' Ep out and, excluding the 'Ayia Napa Freestyle' and the 'Black and White Freetyle' all my official releases have all be quite serious and somewhat had an anger to them. With this one I kept saying how shallow and materialistic the industry has become. I thought since I've already done the angry thing, let me be sarcastic with this one. In reality you know who I am as a real person. You know that I don't go out and brag about what I got or what I don't got. Main reason why I don't understand why all these likkle rappers that walk around the scene like "look I got this, I got that.." because i'm just like, really? Do you really want me to start talking about this stuff? Because I won't end.
Kix: LOL "I got a house on my wrist, got a car on my wrist, got a boat on my wrist.." LOOL you went in!
SNiPER: LOL see that's the thing. Even when I'm down I'm still at a level that many people dream of being at and I'm not saying that to be arrogant, I'm saying that I don't over exaggerate what I do and never been one to be too boastful.
You've heard my stuff I've never been the type of artist to waltz out there like I got this, or I got that. So, with this record I decided to be quite sarcastis. Ok so you got a rolex on your wrist, well I got a car on my wrist.. I got a boat, I got a house. I didn't even mention jet or spaceship or any of them type of things because obviously, you could have a Richard Branson remix one day where Jigga (Jay Z) is in the big ship to appeal to the more famous people.
In reality, anyone that looks into what I'm about will realise that everything I talked about on that track is all real. I didn't do it to be condescending. I did it in a way as if to say stop constantly talking about bling, lowe talking about all the stuff you got. So what if you got it? I feel like if I actually really started talking about all that stuff I'd probably make rappers wanna stop rapping. When people start talking about certain things i'm just like "Ok, good good.. So what has that got to do with the tune? Where as with this one, I done it but I took something iconic which was a kettle (fancy watch), and made it even more relevant by relating to what I'm doing. Now people will say that I've got a kettle. What's your kettle status? Its a fact that I'm happy with.
If I was at a more advanced stage of my career or had a bigger fan base at this point, obviously that track would have been even greater because you can't knock the track. I just know that some people may take it the wrong way when they see me rolling in a Ferrari or whatever not realising that i've done been having these things from about 10 years ago and not last month. So, it's all old news to me which is why i'm being sarcastic.
Get to know me init and understand what I'm being with that record. I'm not being shallow, I'm actually taking a hit at everybody who's pretending to have all these things. These times all they're video cars are rented, wearing fake watches pretending to be all that. Then with the video, the director was like.. "Since your going so nuts on the track and having fun, I want the video come across the same way..", which is why we kinda got a circus thing going. Like proper mad the way we thought of so many different types of characters. We got Zoolu Chiefs, Red Indian's, Captains, NFL players, etc.. The other side of SNiPER that you've seen is the side of SNiPER that I couldn't get I'm my music in the past. So it's good as I'm working towards the album for people to see a different sides of who I am. No one can be judged on just one tune, or even five tunes in reality if you think about it. Kix: Yeah I hear that because the greats have always put out at least 2-12 albums that have made a major impact in the music industry. SNiPER: Yh that's what I mean.
Kix: So what's your next move within the UK scene as you've already had a number one over here? You got any new collabs coming up? Any new names we should look out for?
SNiPER: The next step is to start hitting up tours.
Kix: You got any specific time periods that your thinking about?
SNiPER: No its not the right time yet.
Kix: Lol. When you perform it's a madness!
SNiPER: Lol.. Wait till you see what I got in store this year. Taking it to a next level.
Kix: Yeah bro look forward to it. So you said that your working on mixing down the album, have you got any release dates yet?
SNiPER: No we haven't got a release date for '1AM' yet, but we do have a few other single we're thinking about. As soon as 'itsBig' comes out we're thinking the next single should be 'Knowhere' which is more aimed towards the radio rather than it being a club banger. Because alot of people know that when it comes to club bangers I come strong and within the past few years I've put out things that are good proof of that. This year the 'itsBig' track is going off over here (Ayia Napa). I'm just looking forward to building many new relationships with dj's this year, as I always I salute my brother Charlie Sloth, Cameo, Mista Jam and Dj Target for jumping on the record, and obviously just expanding relationships with so many people, can't forget Logan Sama from kiss; who's on that. Its just a blessing to have so many people with their brands stamped on music. Alot of artists feed off the back of one stamp of these people and for me to have them all slowly getting on board day by day, its truly inspirational. I can only come stronger, it can only get bigger.
Kix: Yeah that should be the next one; 'It Can Only Get Bigger'! Get me? Anyway, so if people want to check you out they can go to the sniper webiste, its sniper music, right?
SNiPER: Yeah you got it: snipermusic.com and all social networks are related to the site, so my twitter is called Snipermusic, my facebook is called Snipermusic. I'm getting a lot of love on facebook, although its a new page, I've got 1500 people there, but the way they interact with me is insane. I post something up there and I get like 800 likes! They're on the case and I really love that because alot of people have got boosted numbers. My twitter is doing what it does supported by a solid fan base. SniperMusicTV is my youtube page and am planning on having a VEVO launch soon because having a SNiPERMUSIC VEVO would be great as having a VEVO channel is seen as a more prestigious way of presenting your music to the world. Both my instagram and Keek are also sniper music. I've been told about this new thing called Snap Chat but not to sure what it is.
Kix: Honestly I think that it's all just a bit to much.
SNiPER: Lol. Yeah I think it's always gonna be like that because technology is the new thing so it's going to always be changing and evolving.
Kix: Yeah I hear that.. Buy yeah, thanks for taking the time out to chat to me. Looking forward to the 'It's Big' release and will see you in July.
SNiPER: Yeah was no probs, make sure 'It's Big' is your first purchase of the summer. It will make your summer big! Lol.

Interview and words by Pedro Shippuden
Lethal Bizzle interview
Kix Magazine and team Kix had the opportunity to interview a legend of Grime and we jumped at it. Born and raised in East London. Off his latest release with Wiley, you guessed it, guys… it’s the one and only Lethal Bizzle.
Reporter Shaziya Ramji on the scene asked a number of questions to Lethal Bizzle *remember to watch the highlighted video on Kix Magazine Youtube Channel.
Lethal Bizzle came up with his name back at secondary school as everyone had a nickname and he wanted one too, as he was very naughty in his schooling years, he was a good football player and that’s how Lethal B came about as he was Lethal with the ball.
Lethal’s first record as a collective was ‘Oi’ which broke Lethal Bizzle into the scene in music. Then created a Record Label and elected a known video director Harry (Sona Family aka Trail blazers) to shoot the music video to ‘Oi’, Lethal was very nervous on set as it was his very first video Shoot.
Later he came out with his own solo album, with a single release ‘O Oh’, as he wanted to incorporate ‘Oi’ into the track, and at that time the scene went underground and alot of people in music went missing, media was not supporting so he linked the two together and that’s when people realized that Lethal Bizzle was back on the music scene.
Shortly after, Lethal took part with a known American artist Twista on a Kray Twinz colaboration, Bizzle was a well known name on the streets of music, Kray Twinz found him through Sticky, an Old Skool Garage producer requested Lethal to feature on the track with Twista. Lethal didn’t believe it but Kray Twinz sent the beat over. Lethal heard Twista’s verse in the studio and Gappy Ranks did his verse. The next minute Lethal Bizzle was out in the USA shooting the video alongside Twista in LA, a surreal moment in Bizzle's music career. Twista gave personal comments that his verses made the whole track come alive and from this Lethal Bizzle performed at more Asian Music Events.
Lethal mentions that East London's scene at that time, was amazing in regards to music, memorable and fun time, no pressure and politics, doing own events, Wiley mentioned to me at that time that Grime was Going to be huge and Lethal Bizzle and him are going to be stars, and his was right.
Leathal & Wiley's relationship was friendly a competition but the audience, the people got quite confused on our relationship… it was always friendly and we had respect for one another musically.
The track sets an example to all of the music Grime scene. ‘They Got It Wrong’ is all about people following their dream, you may get criticism it's all about living your destiny, and the track was made to inspire people *watch the video now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iebOn8nF7HA
“Lethal Bizzle buzz is all about performing to his Fans”
Lethal Bizzle's ‘Pow’ Evolution grew quick as there was nothing going out at that time, and a lot of music artists were lost or confused to where the grime scene was going. He made a song that he liked and enjoyed it wasn’t made for the people of fans it was made for his enjoyment, just made the song put all of his favourite MC's and put it out there, and the rest was history
He is looking into acting after getting a feature on BBC in Bad Education but music is his main focus and launching his clothing label ‘Stay Dench' are his main two focuses.
Stay Dench is a street wear brand and Dench is a common word that was thrown about between him and his cousin and slowly fans started to request clothing and he started doing tee shirts and now its evolved into a 100 stores across the UK.
Lethal gets his Kix by making money, knowing that he can create something and make money off it and another Kix is cars as his girlfriend will always come second best to it as he spends to much money on cars.
Thank you Lethal for the wonderful interview, good luck in everything you do.

Interview with Jesse Chao founder of Vittorio J Neckties
Kix Mag: My first and most obvious question for you my friend is to ask you how all the building work and furnishing is going at your home?
Jesse Chao: After 9 long months, my home is almost ready to move in! It has been one of the most stressful but rewarding times in my life. We bought a 80 year old colonial and renovated almost every part to our exact taste while maintaining the original character of the home. My experience as a necktie designer really helped because of the attention to detail needed during the entire process.
One of the most exciting part of the renovations is converting the entire attic into a custom closet. My wife and I have an extensive shoe collection and we cannot wait to move our babies into the new home.
We also added over 12 chandeliers in the home giving each room a statement-making focal point that is elegant and classy. I cannot wait to finally move in and spend the rest of my life building memories in this home.
Kix Mag: You are the founder and designer of what is becoming the most popular tie company in the world. Your ties have been sported publicly by NFL players and presenters during conference and TV slots. Russell Simmons is also a big fan and a whole host of other noticeable A listers. What is the attraction to Vittorio J?
Jesse Chao: I feel blessed that I have a strong celebrity following. I believe the biggest draw to the Vittorio J brand is the attention to detail and exclusivity of our pieces. Both the VJNY and Vittorio J Exclusives Collection ties are limited in quantity and only a handful of my original designs make it into production. Celebrities have access to any brand in the world so they want something that is unique and special.
Kix Mag: Where did you come up with the concept?
Jesse Chao: I came up with the Vittorio J concept in college. I went to Montclair State University, NJ where I supported myself financially by selling baseball cards on eBay, (my first business venture). I was able to save $20,000 dollars, which I used to start Vittorio J. With no retail experience or knowledge, I had to learn everything new through trial - designing, sampling, marketing, etc. I had learn about branding, social media marketing, shipping and furthermore, how to build
relationships with press/media bloggers to promote the brand/company. The internet was vital for Vittorio J growth.
Kix Mag: What is the most memorable place you have traveled to?
Jesse Chao: Arenal in Costa Rica was definitely memorable. Staying in a hotel next to an active volcano and going natural hot springs for a whole week was so much fun and relaxing. I felt like I really bonded with mother nature.
Kix Mag: Share the philosophy behind Vittorio J?
Jesse Chao: All the items from our collections are based on our slogan and mantra.
Our foundation product is the "TIE" which is a CLASSIC item in fashion.
Secondly, our signature/main color for the brand/company is purple, which personifies "ROYAL".
So that's it, Vittorio J is a quality accessory brand which produces "Classic | Royal | Goods".
Kix Mag: Where can your Vittorio be purchased?
Jesse Chao: Easiest place to purchase our ties is the store section of www.vittorioj.com
Kix Mag: Can any buyer who buys a Vittorio J product via KIX Mag receive a exclusive signed edition?
Jesse Chao: Definitely!
Kix Mag: Want to give any shout outs?
Jesse Chao: I want to thank everyone that has supported me throughout this entire process. Being an independent fashion designer is very challenging and there is no way I would have gotten this far without the help of people that truly care about VJ's success. I especially want to thank my wife who has been so patient and who never stopped believing in me.
Kix Mag: How do you get your KIX (pleasures in life)
Jesse Chao: Vittorio J is my life and the challenge of making the brand grow, truly makes me happy.
Kix Mag: How does it feel to see the president of the United States, Obama, wearing your tie Vittorio J?
Jesse Chao: Same feeling when Lebron James won the NBA championship - pure happiness.

Yzark interview
Carl Hancock Rux interview
Carl Hancock Rux was born in New York city in 1975. Though he had a troubled start in the world he has managed to blossom into a budding writer, essayist, artist & poet. He is the author of 3 books; Pagan Operetta, Talk & Asphalt. He lectures at various universities & has been the head of the MFA writing for performance programme at the California Institute of the Arts. Carl was named by the New York Times magazine as one of the "Thirty Artists Under Thirty" predicted to make an impact on American culture.
Kix Mag: At what point did you discover your love for culture & what were your first early influences into that world?
Carl Hancock Rux: I was raised in foster care. My biological mother was paranoid schizophrenic. I wasn't adopted until I was 15, so art and culture was an escape for me from very early on. It began with drawing, writing stories, and reading and expanded from there. My earliest literary influences were probably James Baldwin, John Steinbeck, Julio Cortazar, Lorca, Marquez, and Zora Neale Hurston. As far as music is concerned, I loved everything from jazz to hip-hop.
Kix Mag: Poet, Author, Playwright, Essayist, Recording artist. Five notable crafts you have a mastery in. I asked you recently what advice you would offer me to improve my own discipline in writing poetry and you responded "reading." Why is reading important?
Carl Hancock Rux: You only begin to know how to write once you begin to know how to read.
Kix Mag: What are your favorite books?
Carl Hancock Rux: Too many to mention but I would say "The Yellow Rain" by Julio Llamazares, and "Song for Night" by Chris Abani.
Kix Mag: I understand you appreciate dance. What type of dance and who's your favourite choreographer?
Carl Hancock Rux: I like many kinds of dance, urban, social and formal. I've primarily worked with modern choreographers like Marlies Yearby, Ron Brown, Urban Bush Women, Alvin Ailey, etc.
Kix Mag: You lecture at Universities. Can you give me a breakdown on what it is you teach and the methods you use to connect with the students?
Carl Hancock Rux: I teach modern literature (American and European novels, plays, poetry, essays) as well as 20th century philosophical movements Fauvism. German Expressionism. Italian Futurism. Agitrop Theater. Harlem Renaissance. Beat poetry. Black Power Theater of the 1960s. Women's literature, and how they impact race, sex and culture. I connect to students by not just entering the room to teach but by leaving myself open to learn. It's an exchange.
Kix Mag: One of your favorite quotes is by Anton Chekhov and it reads, "If an artist decides to declare he understands nothing of what he sees—this in itself constitutes clarity in the realm of thought, a great step forward." Why is this quote by Chekhov one of your favorites?
Carl Hancock Rux: The less we know about our art, the more available we are to allow our art to lead us in the process of creation. I'm sometimes to aware of what I think I know...especially about myself as an artist. Then something happens...a chance friendship, a new influence, a sound, a color, an ideology, and suddenly I realize I am not who I thought I was...that I am evolving.
Kix Mag: Add only a second sentence to complete this poem. 'Paris is winter snowfall....
Carl Hancock Rux: An abutment of constant unfurling.
Kix Mag: Tell me about your new project Pledge & how's it linked to your newest record Homeostasis.
Carl Hancock Rux: I've recorded a new record inspired by the art of Emilio Cruz and the concept of balance, both in the world and within one's self. I'm also raising money for Razia's Ray of Hope, an organization dedicated to educating young girls in war torn Afghanistan. For me, balance is rooted in art, and the gift of education.
Kix Mag: Homeostasis is a Greek term. Can you explain what it means?
Carl Hancock Rux: In Greek, "homios" means "similar", and "stasis" means stability, so Homeostasis is about unified strength...
Kix Mag: Share with us any websites, events, special mentions & anything else you'd like to say.
Carl Hancock Rux: My website is carlhancockrux.com.
The website where people can pledge for my "Homeostasis" project is http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/carlhancockrux
I'll be in Paris in Feb. with the band Burnt Sugar at Sons D'hiver. http://www. sonsdhiver.org
My record release party/concert will be at the world famous Apollo theater in NYC in March 2013.
My opera about Haiti, "Makandal", inspired by the art of Edouard Duval Carrie (music by Yosvaney Terry) will have its premiere at Harlem Stage/The Gate House in the fall of 2013
Big up, thank you, much love to all the people in the world who care about all the people in the world.

Bizzy Crook first UK interview
Kix Mag: Welcome to KIX Magazine Bizzy. This is your first British interview and It's an
honor to feature you. Introduce yourself properly for the UK.
Bizzy Crook: Thank you for featuring me. My name is Bizzy Crook and basically I'm
just a kid from Miami trying to win a grammy...or a few, haha.
Kix Mag: Busta Rhymes said in a live interview that he felt you to be the most bankable
emerging prospect in hip hop. How does it feel to have Busta Rhymes say this?
Bizzy: Its definitely surreal you know, Busta's a legend, like we use to want dreads
just like his. 10 Years ago I was doing choures at home so I can run to the
store and get his albums, and now this guys co-signing me. Crazy.
Kix: Do you feel any pressure as more focus is being placed on you?
Bizzy: Absolutely. I work better under pressure though. It pushes me those extra
miles. Makes things funner.
Kix: Your latest track 'Ferraris And Goddesses' is a very powerful track. When I listen
to it I get a sense of how great you can be. Your rap technique and lyrics are
at a peak. Where were you when you wrote it, and do you feel that you can keep
delivering at that level?
Bizzy: I wrote that record while I was living in Harlem, NY. I was actually walking to
the barbershop. Walking down East Harlem you see a lot of things. You see a
retired Vet on a wheelchair begging for change, then he rolls down the block to
buy crack. You see a grandmother walking her Grandchildren 15 blocks to Church.
Then you can see a guy driving what a lawyer drives, but he got it a different
way. So if you listen to Ferraris & Goddesses you can actually see those
people speaking those lyrics. I'm kind of set on direction as soon as I listen
to a beat, but all that just filled in the verses. I'm just getting started, I
feel like I can only get better from here on.
Kix: Describe your average studio session. Are you in the booth till sunrise?
Bizzy: My sessions are live! haha. I get a bunch of people and we all just have a good
time. I like having a lot of people in the studio for company. I'm inspired by
anything. We have a bunch of random conversations then I start getting ideas.
Their having their own discussions, laughing, drinking. Mean while I'm in another world pacing back and forth
writing. Then when its time to go in the booth its all eyes on me. Our sessions
are normally 12 hours at a time so we end up getting out around 6am every
session.
Kix: You said recently that a new deal is about to be announced and I quote "
Ni**as really gon be mad off my next deal." Wanna give KIX Magazine that exclusive?
Bizzy: Haha I was just quoting Jay-Z on "On To The Next One". That song is
like story of my life, my motto song. Anything that doesn't work out I move on
to the next one. But you know I'm getting to that place where a bunch of people
start reaching out wanting to do things. Lets wait see what happens haha.
Kix: Education. How important is it and why?
Bizzy: Education opens more doors and opportunities. Knowledge is power. Nobody can
disrespect you when your educated. You can talk amongst anyone when your
educated, even if you don't have the degree, or house they have.
Kix: Life in Miami. How has that shaped you?
Bizzy: I love Miami. Miami is a lifestyle, an American Dream city. Like I said I'm
inspired by a lot of things. Driving down South Beach and seeing the cribs on
star island, and the Yacht's, just gives the fuel to go in the studio and say
"Im going to have that".
Kix: Website drops, shoutouts, special mentions?
Bizzy: Shout out to KIX Magazine for featuring me. Shout out to all the blogs who been
showing love, and all the people who been supporting me. I need everyone to
call, tweet, etc, one of their friends right now and tell them to listen to
"Ferraris & Goddesses". P.S. I'm Sorry 2, drops Sept 25th!
Bizzy: I get my KIX by doing shows, creating new things, and just being able to inspire
Saturday 8th September 2012
We quiz Nabil Elouahabi on his latest projects
Kix Mag: Welcome to Kix Mag. Can you introduce yourself please?
Nabile Elouhabi: My name is Nabile Elouhabi. That’s me.
Kix Mag: Tower Block had its premier screening just the other day. What was that like and tell us about the film?
Nabile: It closed the Fright Fest festival in Leister Sq which is obviously a huge privilege to be part of. I was invited down with several of the other actors and it was an amazing experience. The film itself is a psychological thriller. It’s a directorial debut by Ronnie Thompson and James Nunn who were great to work with. I play the sidekick to another character played by Kane Robinson AKA Kano and we’re basically a pair of little scoundrels up to no good and unfortunately we cause a lot of crap to start happening. We just cause mayhem.
Kix Mag: Where did you grow up and at what point did your discover your love for acting?
Nabile: I’m a west Londoner born and bred, Harrow Rd. Born in 73. I started acting around my GCSE years. I picked it up then and then suddenly it was the one class I didn’t want to be late for. I just loved it. It gave me the opportunity to look at behaviour, different human behaviour, in a safe way. It was a lot of fun.
Kix Mag: You have acted alongside the likes of Morgan Freeman and Ben Afleck, Harvey Keitel and Tim Robins yet you have remained much grounded and very humble. How, with that much obvious success, have you managed this?
Nabile: Firstly that was kind. These projects I worked on I have been very fortunate and privileged to work on and with some fantastic actors. I think the main thing is that I have never been one of those leading man types. I’ve never had the pressure of having to hold everything together. I really like being part of the team. I have an ego, like everyone else but never to the point where I’ve wanted to be the main attraction.
Kix Mag: Is there a particular subject that interests you?
Nabile: Things that interest me are history and I’m really fascinated by human behaviour. Why do we do the things that we do, why are we here, what we want, and what drives human behaviour. I mean, we all have the same similar fundamental desires, we want to be loved, we want to respected, we all want security, financial comfort, we all want all of these and how do we navigate to get there. I’m kind of a fan of the liberal sciences.
Kix Mag: You mentioned to me before that your working on some production, I know your keeping heavy lids on it but can you share a few details for an exclusive?
Nabile: First things first, I’m really fortunate at the moment I’m working with a writer, Roy Williams. He’s an award winning writer, as well as a director, Alesha Duffy, and she’s an award winning director. Both these professionals are people I’ve had a long association with personally. They are both personal friends of mine. I came across a really interesting piece of material. It’s about a corrupt policeman in the early 70’s. It’s a true story. I wont tell you much more on that but basically what we’re working on at the minute is crafting a 3 part drama set in South East London in 1971, so what we’re talking about here is a piece of social history.
Nabile: I get my KIX by loving my family and my beautiful girlfriend.

Our interview with Ted Sabat
When I was working in London for a few months, my mates used to call me “ The richest man in Lambeth” as I was controlling 17,000 acres of land in Guyana. I would like make the point that anyone, male or female, could aim to live a life of Adventure, in Guyana for example. A 9 till 5 job is not everyone’s cup of tea. There are many countries that one can go to and use the simple skills that you have, and one of them is –to speak English- and lead a very good life. I used 1/ English. 2/ Auto machanic. 3/Self taught photography. 4/ Self taugt Gold & Diamond prospecting. 5/ Maybe most importantly –The power of READING. 6/ As I was a tourist, I started the first Eco-tourism company in Guyana. If any reader of this article is interested or has a desire to go to Guyana please get in contact with me and I will point you in the right direction. If any readers would like to invest in mining, I could also assist them.

A chapter of a life lived by Ted Sabat
Guryana is an English speaking country in South America, the size of the UK but has less than one million people. They live on the 15 mile wide coastal strip and the remainder of the country is ”Amazon Jungle." I had my colour, spoke English, my skills and my girl. Go for it. So in 1971 I came to Guyana, ( a country of six races) for a four-week vacation, just to look around, and stayed for 35 years. At first I put down on a house, and worked on the Coast in the capital Georgetown, at the Technical Institute, then had the opportunity to travel twice a month, more into the interior to the Bauxite mining town of Linden (Formally Mackenzie). Here the starting salary was lower than mine in Georgetown but the prospects were better, so I applied and secure a teaching job at their Trade School. Technical teaching in Guyana is far more hands —on, and practical than in the UK and they use City and Guilds of London exams. Linden is the gateway to the vast uninhabited interior, where the few people there are Gold and Diamond miners timber cutters and fishermen on the rivers who live on the hundreds of fresh water islands with white sand beaches. I heard the fantastic stories all the time of the massive gold “Shouts” and I saw some of the diamonds. I was just forty miles away from these places, so one long weekend I asked a friend if I could have a taste of this adventure to see for myself if all these fantastic stories are true. In exchange I would repair any vehicle that broke down (as they frequently do) on the way. Boots n All, this is the real thing, this is the life, just bring a spade, a gold pan and a sieve.
After that weekend I was hooked, the ”Gold bug” got me, it’s a little bug that does not bite under your skin, but eats into your brain, and is fed by other people’s “Shouts”.
Look up the records and you will see that Guyana is way down near the bottom of the tables for minerals such as Gold and diamonds, that is because most of the finds are never declared or recorded and smuggled out. Well what do I do now, you will be asking? Rainbow River at Marshall Falls Guyana where when I have the time I relax in my hammock on my 17,000 acre Conservation area. The moral to this tale is:- don’t let the opportunities that ‘Boots n All’ gives you to travel the world meeting members go to waste. Don’t treat it as just a year off work, but a foundation for your future.
My resort is the only Eco-tour resort in the Amazon rain Forest in Guyana.
I Spoke to CITES, in Guyana and London to stop illegal wildlife export.
Advised the B.B.C. Ch 4, as to the contents of Guyana Holiday programmes.
First person to start the Tourism Association of Guyana as requested by the High Commission in London.
First person to bring Package Tours from UK and Sweden. 1988 onwards.
Plus, many more achievements and adventures that shall be in the book I'm writing.

http://theangelfishsociety.org The Angelfish Society - The Angelfish Society was founded in 2000 and became incorporated in March 2003 as a not-for-profit corporation. We are a collection of Angelfish enthusiasts, hobbyists and breeders who are interested in the advancement of our hobby, through improvements in the quality of the fish we keep and breed, by employing the standards which this society will develop. Our founding membership comes from the Angelfish Forum where the idea evolved that a set of standards used throughout the hobby would benefit not only the Angelfish, but also the professional breeders, hobbyists and enthusiasts who enjoy these wonderful freshwater fish. The Angelfish Society is dedicated to the enhancement of the Angelfish through high quality breeding programs using standards established by the society. Defining these standards will be the initial focus of the society. It is our hope that these standards will help to avoid the widespread use of "cute" or "catchy" names for Angelfish phenotypes which seem to proliferate in the names of other species, and serve only to confuse the novice Angelfish enthusiast. We will also be focused on setting standards for identifying the genotypes of the Angelfish we breed and keep, and the genetic notations used to describe them.

http://www.asicoaquaticmarkers.com/AHome2.htm Aquatic Stock Improvement Company (ASICo) - Aquatic Stock Improvement Company (ASICo), now offers a molecular genetic approach based upon DNA microsatellites for aquatic domestication programs, stock identification, pedigreed and lineage tracking, and Marker Assisted Selection. The use of such tools are highly complementary to all traditional breeding programs based upon phenotypic strategies. Marker technology has been in wide use for the past twenty years in other sectors of agriculture such as plants, poultry, swine and cattle industries. More recently, such technology has been applied to the salmon and oyster sectors of aquaculture with a very high level of success. In salmon, for example, genetic selection coupled with phenotypic programs over the last twelve years have produced strains that display over 30% faster growth while production costs (feed, labor, fuel, etc.) were reduced more than 25%. Such gains in aquaculture and agriculture are well documented and characterize business maturity and growth within those sectors.

Intimacy Idiot
by Isaac Oliver
From an award-winning playwright “who splits the difference between David Rakoff and Larry David” (New York magazine)—a “compulsively readable debut” (Time Out New York) of big-hearted, laugh-until-you-can’t-breathe essays, stories, and riffs on finding love and intimacy in New York City.

Since moving to New York a decade ago, award-winning writer and performer Isaac Oliver has pined for countless strangers on the subway, slept with half the people in his Washington Heights neighborhood, and observed the best and worst of humanity from behind the glass of a Times Square theater box office. Whether he’s hooking up with a man who dresses as a dolphin, suffering on airplanes and buses next to people with Food From Home, or hovering around an impenetrable circle of attractive people at a cocktail party, Oliver captures the messy, moving, and absurd moments of urban life as we live it today. In this uproariously funny debut collection, he serves up a comedic cornucopia of sketches, vignettes, lists, and diaries from his life as a young, fanciful, and extremely single gay man in New York City.
“Oliver has mastered the art of self-deprecation...he can find humor and heart in the unlikeliest of places,” raves Entertainment Weekly. Culled from years of heartbreak, hook-ups, and more awkwardness than a virgin at prom and a whore in church (and he should know because he’s been both), Intimacy Idiot chronicles Oliver’s encounters with love, infatuation, resilience, and self-acceptance that echo our universal desire for intimacy of all kinds.

Backyard practice shots

A couple practice shots from the backyard taken with the new camera:
I know that's not the best crop but the ant in the top-left corner looked so derpy I had to keep it in.
Tuesday, July 31st 2018 at 10:25pm
In the backyard I have a fairly large stand of milkweeds. Unfortunately, they attract a lot of aphids, far more aphids than the monarchs they are supposed to attract.

On the way home from work, a slow leak turned into a fast leak - turns out a leak formed around where the stem adheres to the tube, which is not a very repairable leak. I suppose I got my money's worth from this tube, though. There are four patches on this tube, can you spot them all?
Minimum Votes to Win the Electoral College
Saturday, November 12th 2016 at 1:38pm
With a Republican once again winning the electoral college despite losing the popular vote, I was wondering, what, mathematically, is the fewest number of ballots needed to win the electoral college?
My first approach was to rank the states in order of votes per electoral vote, and assign the states with the fewest ballots per EV to one candidate until that candidate has enough electoral votes to win.
I found an interesting source of data in the United States Elections Project: They have already tallied in one spreadsheet not just the population of each state or the number of registered voters, but the projected actual number of ballots counted, including outstanding provisional / mail-in ballots. Since the goal is to compare electoral votes to popular vote outcomes, the number of votes cast by state seems the most relevant data to answer the original question. So, I used their estimated 2016 November General Election Turnout data, retrieved the morning of November 12th.
I put those in a spreadsheet which contains the number of electoral votes by state, added a calcualted column Ballots per EV = Ballots / Electoral Votes, sorted by Ballots per EV in ascending order, and marked the first 32 states as belonging to the electoral vote winner.
In the winner's states (marked as Republican [red] in the map below), I assigned the winner 50.01% of the vote, and the loser the remainder. In the rest of the states, I assigned the winner 0% of the vote, and the loser 100% of the vote. This of course is an impossible outcome in real life, but this is math, not real life!
This resulted in 30 million votes going to the electoral college winner out of 133 million votes cast: The winner won with only 22.5% of the votes.
Maps generated at 270 To Win.
Given that the intent is to produce the most electoral votes from the fewest total votes, I found it interesting that this scenario included in the winner's column many larger states that are typically thought of as underrepresented, including 3 of the 5 most populous states: California, Texas, and New York. But that intuition is based on a measure of population per electoral vote. The many factors that prevent residents from becoming voters - citizenship status, age, and voter enthusiasm to bother voting - reduce the total number of ballots cast in these states by more than most, and moved the voters in these states to in fact be slightly over-represented in the critical metric of ballots per electoral vote. I imagine enthusiasm is significantly driven by partisan makeup of the state. Florida, a swing state, gives voters far more reason to believe their vote might tip the national election, and has far more political operatives dragging voters to the polls.
But I also noticed that this solution produced a winner wih 284 electoral votes - a non-trivial amount more than the fewest electoral votes required to win. That New York was the tipping point state demonstrated that it might be necessary to un-select one state before adding the next state. I wanted to know if we could do better.
This seemed like a textbook case where the optimal solution needs to be found from among all possible ways to reach the current state, not just the most obvious one. So I whipped up a knapsack-style dynamic programming solution. For each number of electoral votes, it computers from each fewer number of electoral votes (including zero) which state, if any, can most efficiently reach the curent number of electoral votes. That is:
For EV_count in 1 to 538
Mark ev_count as having no solution
For subproblem in 0 to EV_count - 1
ev_gap = EV_count - subproblem
possible_states = states with ev_gap votes not in solution(subproblem)
best_state = state in possible_states with fewest ballots per electoral vote
If ballots(solution(subproblem) + best_state) < ballots(solution(ev_count))
let solution(ev_count) = solution(subproblem) + best_state
Again assigning 50.01% of the winner's states' votes to the winner, and 100% of the loser's states' vote to the loser, the solution this found required about 2.5 million votes fewer to win: 27.5 million out of 133 million cast, or 20.7% of the total ballots cast. It did this by substituting the 22 electoral votes of Arizona and Indiana with Louisiana's 8 electoral votes, creating a solution with exactly 270 electoral votes. While an impossible scenario in any political reality (let alone the one we exist in), it is impressive just how unrepresentative of public preference the electoral college could get.
Map generated at 270 To Win.
Is it inevitable that the best winning solution would have exactly 270 votes? Perhaps not. I also printed out the minimum ballots to reach every other electoral vote total, and there were in fact three non-trivial such totals that required fewer ballots than the optimal solution for one fewer electoral vote (at 489, 498, and 508 electoral votes).
For this exercise, I broke out the states who assign electoral votes based on congressional district into separate "states" for the at-large and congressional-district based electoral votes by dividing the at-large ballots in half and assigning the other half of those ballots to the congressional-district based 'states' proportionally to the number of votes cast in those districts. I did not attempt to prevent any 'silly' cases such as an at-large winner who did not win any congressional districts, but fortunately the optimal solution did not require me to do so.
A list of the states assigned to the winner:
Maine (At-Large and Congressional District-based)
Nebraska (At-Large and Congressional District-based)

First Violet

Alongside the California Poppies planted by a roommate last year, this year I planted the seeds from some Viola tricolors (a member of the Violet family) and some Shirley Poppies. The first flower appeared today, and although it is tiny, about the size of a quarter, it is pretty.

Trace: • Gondor Culture
The Lord of the Rings TCG Wiki: Gondor Culture
Gondor Culture
The below is a quote from Hayden-William Courtland on Decipher.com
Most famous of the Dunedain are the men of Gondor whose rule extended over all lands west of the Sea of Rhun, and whose two Gondorian white towers, erected in the year 3320 of the Second Age, were known across all of Middle Earth. And yet, the years have taken their toll on the Gondorian people - we now see them divided, with a shattered nobility, and little time remaining for them to set their course true. But it is the people of Gondor that must carry Middle Earth into the dawn of a new age and so begins the ultimate journey for redemption.
The Gondorian culture made its Lord of the Rings TCG debut with just two companions (Aragorn and Boromir) and even then we saw two of the most robust characters in the game. Aragorn, Ranger of the North sports a Defender +1 ability and Boromir, Lord of Gondor cannot be overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled. Both Aragorn and Boromir have solid strength/vitality values - a hallmark of the Gondor culture. Of course, it's the culture's mastery of swordsmanship and fighting tactics that is truly defining of the race. Gondor offers a host of events for all phases (maneuver, skirmish, and regroup) that boost strength, prevent wounds, remove twilight, add defender +1, and even wound minions directly. Such are the tricks of the trade for the rangers of Gondor.
With the introduction of the Two Towers block there are yet more Gondorian rangers, led by Boromir's brother Faramir. These “Ring-bound” rangers are adeptly suited at making minions roaming. The roaming characteristic becomes a distinct advantage for Ring-bound rangers, who gain strength bonuses and special abilities when skirmishing roaming minions. In addition The Two Towers block gives us the beginnings of a unified kingdom with the emergence of Gondorian Knights, whose unique strengths lie in their ability to transfer fortifications to minions, thereby weakening their strength and vitality.
As a culture, Gondor has some difficulty in removing conditions and many of the non-unique characters have low strength values. Nevertheless, such deficiencies are not insurmountable since the culture, largely through Aragorn's effort, can work well with other cultures. By teaming up Gondor with Rohan, Elves, or even Hobbits, there is ample opportunity to balance out the weaknesses with strengths. The Gondorian peoples' ability to unite with other cultures in times of dire need is at your command and with it, the salvation of Middle Earth is at hand!

Decipher, Inc
As the design team got down to business with The Two Towers design, one of our first orders of business was dealing with Gondor and some of their cultural >definitions. Most important of all was determining these cultural characteristics and bringing them to life onto the Gondor cards that would come out >in the set.
We felt that Gondor already had some strong themes developed from Fellowship block. Take these The Fellowship of the Ring cards shown below.
Eregion Trails, Elendil's Valor, Athelas
With these ideas in mind, we wanted to expand on them in the new block.
=Roaming and that weird statistic nobody cares about=
Ever since I started designing LotR, the site numbers on minions have been screaming “Manipulate us!” to me. Can you think or a reason why we couldn't? A flaw among Fellowship block cards that affected roaming minions was that they were only good for half the game, then became dead. What good is Eregion's Trails if you draw it when you plan to move from site 8 to site 9? By increasing a minion's site number and creating an “artificially roaming minion,” those cards could become useful again at any time.
A problem we hit early on was this little issue of roaming minions costing +2 when you play them. By enlarging a minion's site number during the Shadow phase we were actually inflicting a cost increase on Shadow players, which was something we didn't want on the menu for this block. The ultimate solution was to isolate site number increases during skirmish phases only. Looking back, the solution seems ridiculously easy, but back in the day it took us a long time to come to this conclusion. Things seem so easy sometimes when you look at a finished product.
Gondorian Ranger, Ranger of Ithilien, New Errand
Our in-house playtesters continue to tell me we can't make cards that affect a minions site number outside the skirmish phase. As I continue to learn more about design though, a big lesson I've learned is that you can pretty much do anything as long as you cost it correctly. As we continue the roaming debate here the office, I'm sure Gondor will have lots of room expand on their roaming abilities in very large ways in the future.
=Defender +1 and Healing=
The two abilities above are just simple abilities that Gondor happens to do well. Take the two cards below.
Aragorn, Heir of Elendil, Hard Choice
You'll be hard pressed to find better healing and defender +1 cards in Tower block. Why? Because Gondor was slated to be as good as they are with these types of mechanics.
=Knights and the story about “nothing”=
Fellow designer Tom Lischke and I tend to talk a lot about weird things now and then. One day he just blurts out, “What if there was a group of companions who actually don't rely on possessions?”
“What do they rely on?” I replied
“They rely on nothing!”
“How can they rely on nothing? They have to rely on something!”
“No! Everyone relies on something, they'll rely on nothing!”
Ok, so maybe the conversation wasn't the above word for word, but the idea was there. A subset of companions who relied on other permanent-based methods of winning skirmishes. Welcome to the world of knights and fortifications.
City Wall, Stone Tower
The elegance of placing the strength and vitality modifiers on the left side of the card gave the space we needed in game text to explain how these conditions transferred around the board. We gave them the keyword Fortification for two reasons. One was to give them a little story flavor, and second so that we could identify them easily in game text on other cards. Originally they only worked with knights, but then the question was raised from our playtesters: Why shouldn't they work for all Gondor Men? Not only did it make sense so the culture as a whole could feel cohesive, but also so they could still be playable in draft format.
As a result of placing this new mechanic in a subset, the knight cards left me feeling like we left them a little incomplete. There's always a place to make more cards though! There are lots of new fortifications currently in the works, working in much more different and unusual ways than what we first introduced in The Battle of Helm's Deep. So be on the lookout for those, and for now I hope you've enjoyed this tour through the culture of Gondor!
Heir to the Throne of Gondor
by Hayden-William Courtland
The driving force behind the Gondor culture, and indeed, much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is Aragorn, Son of Arathorn. As heir to the throne of Gondor, Aragorn is the only one capable of uniting the men of Middle Earth. It therefore comes as no surprise that Aragorn appears as one of the strongest companions in the Lord of the Rings TCG. With 8 strength and 4 vitality, Aragorn is unequaled by other members of the Gondor culture and also better than members of most other cultures - not even Gandalf can boast such baseline statistics!
Aragorn is well suited to virtually any deck. For the unbound Hobbit/Ent deck, Aragorn, Wingfoot is ideal in his ability to wound minions during each move. As a stable defense against minion swarms use either Aragorn, Heir of Elendil (Defender +1) or Aragorn, Ranger of the North (Defender +X). For shadow denial (once a staple of the tournament scene - now relegated to Open format play), Aragorn, Heir to the White City is unbeatable. Finally, there is Aragorn, King in Exile whose ability to heal a companion each turn can come in very handy against minion archery decks.
Although strong enough on his own, Aragorn is a force to be reckoned with when equipped for battle. Aragorn's Bow is particularly useful when faced with one too many minions or that single minion of unbelievable strength. There are currently two swords unique to Aragorn: Ranger's Sword and Ranger's Sword, Blade of Aragorn. Both give a strength +2 bonus and, in addition, the former gives the Damage +1 ability and the latter gives an additional +2 strength bonus against an Uruk-hai. If you then add Armor (bearer takes no more than one wound) and Athelas (discard to heal or discard a shadow condition), Aragorn becomes almost unstoppable.
Of course, in the current format, with Grima a favorite of many shadow players, you have to be careful not to attach too many cards to your companions (less they get bounced back to your hand in the maneuver phase). And so, support cards become equally important and Aragorn works particularly well with many of them. Gondor Bowmen (+2 to the archery total) is particularly suited to Aragorn as its cost requires exertion of a Gondor man and Aragorn has 4 vitality. The Shards of Narsil is also quite powerful - an artifact that can hold unuseable Gondor cards for use at a later time and a medium through which Still Sharp can be played to make Aragorn (or another Gondor man) strength +3 and damage +1. Finally, Aragorn can use virtually all of the strength boosting cards offered by the Gondor culture, many of which work exceedingly well with a specific version of Aragorn. For example, try Dagger Strike with Aragorn, Heir of Elendil.
So this is the new King of Men - strong, versatile, supportive of his fellows. Truly a leader of his people!

Ward E. Bullock - Endowed Chair
Graduate Career Paths
Infectious Diseases Directory
Ward E. Bullock Endowed Chair
During his 45-year career, Dr. Ward Bullock worked in nearly every academic capacity, including serving on the faculties at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and the universities of Rochester and Kentucky, and as dean of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.
At UC, Dr. Bullock served as Director of the Infectious Diseases Division and as the Arthur Russell Morgan Professor of Medicine (1980–94); associate chair for research (1988–89, 1993–94); senior associate dean of the College of Medicine (1989–91); and adjunct professor of molecular genetics, biochemistry and microbiology (1980–94).
In 2001, after serving as professor and dean of medicine at Connecticut, Dr. Bullock returned to UC to lead the college's reaccreditation process and continue his clinical and teaching work in infectious diseases.
"I have a deep love for UC that dates back to when my father was a professor of mechanical engineering here," Dr. Bullock said. "I've had many opportunities in my professional career, but feel that I owe UC a great deal for providing me with stimulus and inspiration for the work I was able to accomplish. The support I have received from the College of Medicine and my colleagues has been truly outstanding."
Dr. Bullock cared deeply about the Division of Infectious Diseases and understood the need for it to have an endowed chair. He understood the benefits that a chair would bring to the Division, including a higher profile for its research initiatives.
In 2011, the University Of Cincinnati College of Medicine acknowledged the sustained contributions of Dr. Bullock and his wife, Charlotte Brooks by establishing The Ward E. Bullock, MD Endowed Chair of Infectious Diseases.
The first and current holder of The Ward E. Bullock, MD Endowed Chair of Infectious Diseases is Dr. George Smulian. Dr. Smulian is a Professor of Medicine and the Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases. He has been a faculty member in the Department of Internal Medicine since 1991. He completed his medical training at the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by an internal medicine residency at Hillbrow and Johannesburg Hospital in South Africa. He came to UC in 1988 where he completed his clinical and research fellowship in infectious diseases and then joined the UC faculty as well as staff of the Cincinnati Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He was appointed as VA chief of the infectious disease section in 2000. He received the Mark Woolcott Award for Excellence in Clinical Care Delivery from the Veterans Health Administration in 2006 and the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award in 2016. In addition to his clinical activities and clinical research, he maintains an active externally funded research program in pathogenic fungi and was the recipient of a Burrough Wellcome Fund New Investigator in Molecular Pathogenic Mycology award in 1999. He has well over 75 publications and has mentored over two dozen trainees and faculty.
"After being instrumental in recruiting me to Cincinnati to complete my fellowship, Ward served as of my mentor in the early years of my career. His balance between clinical excellence and his research endeavors was inspirational and a driving force in my development. I am honored to continue to carry forward the tradition of physician scientists."
The Ward E. Bullock, MD Endowed Chair of Infectious Diseases was established to provide support for research and education within the division in the field of medical mycology according to the ideals and values established by Dr. Bullock during his tenure as Division Director. The funding provided through the endowment has maintained the prominence of the division in the forefront of mycology through Dr. Smulian's research in Histoplasma capsulatum and has also allowed the division to support an additional year of training for fellows pursuing academic research careers. The division is honored to be fulfilling the goals of Dr. Bullock by promoting divisional growth and stability in our research programs in a manner that would not be possible without this generous funding.

Chief Of Staff Says Army Will Not Rest Until Peace Is Restored
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Kenneth Minimah, says the Army will not rest until peace is restored in communities affected by Boko Haram insurgents.
Minimah made this known during the farewell ceremony in his honour by the Infantry Corps Centre, Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC) Jaji, Kaduna State, on Friday.
“We shall not rest until peace is restored to all affected communities. As we forge ahead, we will refocus our priorities to training, equipment, welfare and motivation of our troops,’’ he said.
He said the current security situation affecting most parts of the nation necessitated the need for security operatives to strategise toward resolving it.
“Our country is going through a period of enormous security challenges which are daunting, but surmountable.
“Nigerians demand that we rise to the occasion through renewed commitment and reawakening of the warrior spirit in us.
“A lot is already being achieved in our ongoing operations to rid our country of terrorists and criminal elements,’’ he said.
He commended the army and other security operatives for their efforts toward resolving the security challenges that had bedevilled the nation.
“Our resolve to discharge our constitutional roles to foster unity, stability, peace and progress of our dear nation is non-negotiable,’’ he said.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Minimah was before his appointment as COAS, the Commander at the centre.
He, however, officially handed over the Infantry Corps Centre to the new Commander, Maj.-Gen. Mohammed Abubakar.

Low-Speed Electric Vehicles - Golf Carts, NEVs and MEVs
There has been a growing public interest in using low-speed four-wheeled electric vehicles to make short trips for shopping, social, and recreational purposes. These passenger-carrying vehicles, although low-speed, offer a variety of advantages, including comparatively low-cost and energy-efficient mobility. To drive on public roads in Washington, these vehicles must be “street legal.” Washington provides for the use of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) and Moderate-S peed Electric Vehicles (MEVs) under certain conditions. These vehicles are often referred to as "golf carts." Golf carts are called "golf cars" in the industry and are not classed as low-speed vehicles under federal motor vehicle safety standards. This page provides a summary of Washington laws, local government sample provisions and background information on safety standards and industry standards for golf cars.
Washington Low-Speed Vehicle Legislation
Washington motor vehicle laws provide for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) and Medium-Speed Electric Vehicles (MEVs). Both NEVs and MEVs must conform to federal regulations under 49 CFR Sec. 571.500, and both may be driven on city streets and county roads that are not state routes if the road has a speed limit of 35 mph or less.
Washington law defines a “golf cart,” in Sec. 3 of Ch. 217 Laws of 2010 (SSB 6207) as a gas-powered or electric-powered four-wheeled vehicle originally designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting purposes and has a speed attainable in one mile of not more than 20 miles per hour. A golf cart is not a nonhighway vehicle or off-road vehicle as defined in RCW 46.09.310.
Golf Cart Zones - Ch. 217 Laws of 2010 (SSB 6207) allows Washington cities and counties to create “golf cart zones” around golf courses and permit incidental use of “golf carts” on public roads that have speed limits of 25 mph or less.
Medium-Speed Electric Vehicles (MEV)
Definition - RCW 46.04.295 amended by Sec. 1 of Ch. 144 Laws of 2010 (SB 6346) - "Medium-speed electric vehicle" means a self-propelled, electrically powered four-wheeled motor vehicle, equipped with a roll cage or crush-proof body design, whose speed attainable in one mile is more than 25 miles per hour but not more than 35 miles per hour and otherwise meets or exceeds the federal regulations set forth in 49 CFR Sec. 571.500.
Operation- RCW 46.61.723 - Medium-speed electric vehicles, amended by Sec. 2 of Ch. 144 Laws of 2010 (SB 6346)
Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV)
Definition - RCW 46.04.357 - "Neighborhood electric vehicle" means a self-propelled, electrically powered four-wheeled motor vehicle whose speed attainable in one mile is more than 20 miles per hour and not more than 25 miles per hour and conforms to federal regulations under Title 49 CFR Part 571.500.
Operation - RCW 46.61.725 - An electrically powered, four-wheeled vehicle that can reach speeds of 20 to 25 mph.
NEV and MEV in San Juan County
Ch. 144 Laws of 2010 (SB 6346) allows a person to operate an NEV and MEV on city streets and county roads that are not state routes if the road has a speed limit of 45 mph or less. However, this provision is only applicable to counties (San Juan) consisting of islands whose only connection to the mainland is by ferry.
Local Government Golf Cart Provisions
Arlington Municipal Code Ch. 10.88 - Use of Golf Carts (or Similar Vehicles) on Public Property
Cheney Municipal Code Ch. 11.90 - Operation of Golf Carts
Grant County Code Ch. 11.34 - Operation of Golf Carts
La Conner Municipal Code Ch. 9.50 - Golf Cart Zone
Langley Municipal Code Ch. 10.24 - Golf Cart Zone
Liberty Lake Municipal Code Ch. 7-4 - Operation of Golf Carts
Mill Creek Municipal Code Ch. 10.20 - Golf Carts (2006 provision) - Prohibits golf carts on city streets; carts may be operated in designated sidewalk/bike lanes
Orting Municipal Code Ch. 7-8 - Golf Cart Zone
National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA)
As a result of a growing conflict between state, local, and federal laws which restricted the ability of vehicle manufacturers to produce and sell vehicles and consumers to buy them, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) set safety standards for a class of low-speed vehicles in 1998. Those are the standards that Washington NEVs and MEVs must meet.
When the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) was setting safety standards for low-speed vehicles, it chose to use the industry term golf car. It noted that: While many members of the public use the term "golf cart," the manufacturers of those vehicles use the term "golf car." This final rule uses "golf car," except in those instances in which the other term is used in quotation.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Final Rule 49 CFR Part 571 [Docket No. NHTSA 98-3949] - via NHTSA Web or 63 FR 33194, June 17, 1998- via GPO Access - Provides discussion and background to final rule.
49 CFR Sec. 571.500 - Standard No. 500; Low-speed vehicles- via GPO Access - This is the minimum safety standard for Washington’s NEVs and MEVs to operate on public roads and streets of this state. The manufacturers of golf cars that operate at less than 20 mph do not have to meet these safety standards. The federal rule went into effect in 1998 and was amended in 2003.

The Conference Board of the U.S. Senate also released its Consumer Confidence Index. Weekly readings on mortgage rates and first-time jobless claims were also released.
Case-Shiller Reports 0.10 Percent Uptick in National Home Price Index
The National Home Price Index issued by Case-Shiller for October reported a year-over-year increase of 3.20 percent in home prices. Case-Shiller’s 20-City Home Price Index reflected the influence of low inventories of affordable homes as pricey metro areas reported slower growth if not declines in home-price growth.
The top three cities reporting highest year-over-year home prices were Phoenix, Arizona with5.80 percent growth; Tampa, Florida with 4.90 percent growth and Charlotte, North Carolina, which had 4.80 percent home price growth.
Analysts said that the shift in higher home-price growth rates to smaller eastern and southern metro areas was evidence of continued shortages of affordable homes in coastal and major metro areas. Home prices in San Francisco, California declined for the third consecutive month in October after posting double-digit home price growth in recent years.
Pending home sales, which are sales for which purchase offers have been made but not completed, rose 1.20 percent in November as compared to October. Regionally, pending home sales reports were mixed. The Western region led with a 5.50 percent growth rate in pending home sales. Pending home sales were 1.00 percent higher in the Midwest and fell by -0.10 percent in the Northeast. Pending home sales fell by 0.20 percent in the South.
Lawrence Yun, the chief economist for the National Association of Realtors®, said that “The supply of available homes is not yet meeting healthy demand.” Real estate pros consider pending home sales a gauge of future closings.

What’s Ahead For Mortgage Rates This Week – December 30th, 2019
Last week’s economic reports were limited due to the Christmas holiday. New home sales data was released along with a weekly reading on mortgage rates.
Census Bureau: New Home Sales Hit Highest Level Since 1999
Mortgage rates below 4.00 percent propelled the highest number of new homes sold since 1999. 719,000 new homes were sold on a seasonally-adjusted annual basis in November.
Analysts expected November sales of new homes to reach 740,000 sales based on October’s original reading of 733,000 sales, but this reading was later revised to 710,000 sales.
New home sales reported are based on a narrow range of data and subject to major revisions. Slim inventories of previously-owned homes for sale also boosted new home sales.
The national median sale price for new homes was $330,800 in November and there was a 5.40 month supply of new homes available, which fell below the peak of a seven-month supply of available new homes reported in December 2018.
The Northeast region reported a 52.40 percent increase in new home sales; Sales of new homes in the South decreased by 4.10 percent and were unchanged in the Midwest. New home sales in the West rose by 7.50 percent.
Mortgage Rates Little Changed
Freddie Mac reported incremental changes in average mortgage rates; 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rates averaged 3.74 percent and were one basis point higher than for the prior week. Rates for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 3.19 percent and were unchanged.
The average rate for 5/1 adjustable rate mortgages was eight basis points higher at 3.45 percent. Discount points averaged 0.70 percent for fixed-rate mortgages and 0.30 percent for 5/1 adjustable rate mortgages.
Freddie Mac cautioned that the ongoing shortage of affordable homes is causing home prices to rise throughout the U.S; in recent years significant home price gains primarily occurred in coastal regions. Analysts said that as fewer affordable homes become available, housing markets and the general economy could be negatively affected.
Weekly reporting on first-time jobless claims was not released last week.

NAHB: Builder Confidence Rises in December
According to the National Association of Home Builders, builder confidence in housing market conditions rose in December to an index reading of 76 as compared to November’s reading of 71. Any reading over 50 indicates that most home builders surveyed were confident about housing market conditions.
Builder confidence in current market conditions rose seven points to an index reading of 84; builder confidence in housing market conditions in the next six months rose one point to 79 and the index reading for buyer traffic in new single-family housing developments rose four points to 58. Analysts noted that the index reading for buyer traffic rarely reaches a reading of 50.
Regional readings were mixed with builder confidence in the Northeast falling two points; the Midwestern region showed builder confidence five points higher than in November and builder confidence readings in the South and West rose one point and three points respectively.
Analysts said that low mortgage rates, a slim supply of pre-owned homes for sale and low unemployment contributed to rising builder confidence. Negative factors impacting builder confidence included high land and labor costs, and a disparity between builders focusing on high-end construction while entry-level homes were most in demand.
The National Association of Realtors ®reported fewer sales of pre-owned homes in November; 5.35 million previously-owned homes sold on a seasonally-adjusted annual basis as compared to October’s reading of 5.44 million sales of previously-owned homes.
Fewer sales were caused by slim inventories of affordable homes for sale. This data supported home builders’ assertion that fewer available pre-owned homes boosted builder confidence in current housing markets.
Housing Starts, Building Permits Issued Rise in November
The Commerce Department reported 1365 million single-family housing starts in November as compared to 1.323 million starts in October. Building permits issued also rose in November with 1.482 million permits issued as compared to October’s reading of 1.461 million building permits issued.

Private construction spending fell by -1.00 percent in October; residential construction fell 0.90 percent as multi-family construction spending fell 1.60 percent after a 2.10 percent dip in September. Construction spending on single-family homes increased by 1.60 percent.
Low mortgage rates, a strong job market, and rising wages contributed to a strong demand for homes. Short inventories of available homes continued to pressure home builders to build more homes; construction of homes jumped 3.80 percent in October.
Mortgage Rates, Mixed, New Jobless Claims Fall
Freddie Mac reported no change in the average rate of 3.68 percent for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; rates for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 3.14 percent and were one basis point lower than for the prior week.
Rates for 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgages fell four basis points on average to 3.39 percent. Discount points averaged 0.50 percent for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and 0.40 percent for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages and 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgages.
First-time jobless claims fell from the prior week’s reading of 213,000 claims to 203,000 claims filed last week. ADP reported 67,000 private-sector jobs added in November.
The federal government’s Non-Farm Payrolls report offset the dismal reading for private-sector job growth. 266,000 public and private sector jobs were added in November and surpassed expectations of 180,000 public and private sector jobs added.
Approximately 55,000 were accounted for as auto workers returned after a strike. 156,0000 public and private sector jobs were added in October. The national unemployment rate dropped to 3.50 percent in November and matched the reading for unemployment posted at the end of 1969.
This week’s scheduled economic reports include readings on inflation, retail sales and the post-meeting statement from the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to give a press conference after the FOMC statement. Weekly readings on mortgage rates and new jobless claims will also be released.

Physically Sick 2 – Music and medicine against legally administered poverty
Blog April 5 2018
By Emil Néné Rasmussen
In the always peculiar legal world of the USA, a particularly odd system is set in motion almost every time someone is held in custody or otherwise detained. The system is called bail, and it is the procedure of letting the detained person pay a deposit to the court in return for being released until their trial. While the exact cost of this procedure varies from state to state, depending on the severity of the crime, it has potentially destructive financial consequences for those impacted by it. No matter where one stands on crime and punishment, the matter of the fact is that 1: “We do not tend to confine the most dangerous – we jail the poorest among us”, 2: “Our jails are disproportionately filled with Black and Latino men” and 3: “Defendants sit in jail for long periods awaiting trial. Some defendants have even waited in jail for more than four years before trial”. (Alexander Shalom, “Bail Reform as a Mass Incarceration Reduction Technique”, 2014)
You could buy this – admittedly more self-reflective – “Band Aid”-ish concept compilation called “Physically Sick 2”. By doing this you can support the Brooklyn Community Bail Fund, an organisation which helps people in need of bail money they can’t afford themselves. As the title suggests, it is the successor to last year’s “Physically Sick”, which supported a number of charities.
It is a compilation by Allergy Season and Discwoman, curated by Umfang, Frankie Decaiza Hutchinson, and Physical Therapy. It is released digitally with a name-your-price model, but no matter the price you choose, it would be an understatement to say that you will definitely get your money’s worth. At a staggering 44 tracks by 46 different musicians it also happens to be a very good insight into today’s international world of electronic music.
Besides being mostly techno or house, there’s no strict coherence in the style of music presented on this release. Industrial and harsh pieces like Danish Puce Mary’s “A Severed Head”, coexist side by side with quieter pieces such as Ciel’s “Terracotta”. However, there does seem to be a thorough melancholy or disquieting hopelessness on most tracks.
Physically Sick 2 by Physically Sick 2
Doxa’s “Disideratum” for example uses a maddening, rolling percussion to invoke a sense of non-direction that hammers on and on. Rune Bagge’s “Demons” comes with a powerful, distorted beat over a tapestry of bass filled ambiance. Others are more explicitly hands on with the social aspect of the compilation, such as Tygapaw’s “BLACK WOMXN EXPERIENCE” or Laurel Halo’s “Excerpt From an Open Letter to John Paul II”. The latter features a recording of former Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur, where she describes her trial: “I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty”.
The theme is ever present, scattered through the titles and the sounds. “False Witness” by Claudia Jones obviously alludes to the practice of judicial murder through bearing false witness, thereby twisting justice in favor of the already powerful. Here it is depicted by sinister, crawling drum patterns. It is hard to say whether the atmosphere felt on this track is seen through the eyes of the victim or the witness. Perhaps it belongs to the entire social context of trials, court rooms and the subjecting eyes of the law.
Two of the most interesting tracks on this compilation come from BEARCAT and Hiro Kone. BEARCAT delivers a strange mixture of heavy beats and creeping melodies that sound half screaming and half machinic. Feels like hiding in the shadows, both wanting to reveal your power and to hide it. Similarly Hiro Kone’s dubstep on “Twisted” is like urban nighttime silence, echoing through time.
I must also mention the metaphor of being sick or with sickness in general. The cover, mimicking a pill bottle, promises to alleviate symptoms of systemic oppression and financial bondage. It is almost a punch to the side, in the face of American drug and medicine culture (a trademark of the Allergy Season label). With most tracks and artists regarding themselves as sick by definition, we must also swallow the medicine. The symptoms exist regardless and painkillers will never be the end of it – but it prolongs the inevitable. Regardless of the important politics of this compilation, it also happens to be a diverse insight into electronic music today and should be of importance to anyone who is even remotely interested in where electronic music is going at the moment.
Info: “Physically Sick 2” was released in the beginning of March.

He’s still pushing for a deal in the Verizon IndyCar Series and while he won’t be at St. Pete, he’s still working hard to secure a part-time deal for 2015 or a full-time ride for 2016. “The whole situation may be tough, but it hasn’t hurt my motivation or determination at all. If anything, it’s heightened them. Pushing over the winter with PitFit Training I was able to put on 15lbs of muscle mass and repeat the mental work that helped me so much in 2014. A day out of the car isn’t wasted if it’s spent preparing for the day that you are. Until I get my opportunity, I’ll keep working as hard as I can to be ready for my chance.” – RACER – (3/25/15)
Brabham ready for St. Pete one-off – Australian American Matthew Brabham didn’t have as great of a year last year in Indy Lights as he expected after winning titles in the USF 2000 and Pro Mazda series in the two prior seasons. Because of that he lost some of the previous sponsorship money he had but he has been driving for Andretti Autosport’s Formula E program and has a one race Indy Lights deal with the team for St. Pete. “I’ve been spoiled in the States to be honest with you,” Brabham told MotorSportsTalk. “Having the Mazda scholarship help has been great, but it almost made me relaxed. Now this new side, you have to push and work tirelessly to find the sponsorship. It’s a good and important life experience for me. At the same time this is good for my career and the business side. This has all been a big help because the business side has never been my strong suit.” – NBC Sports – (3/25/15)
INDYCAR adds fantasy site for 2015 – INDYCAR has brought back a fantasy racing game to their website for the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series. Check it out at fantasy.indycar.com. Search “openwh33l” to find The Open Wheel’s league! – INDYCAR – (3/24/15)
Rahal adds Steak ‘n Shake as a sponsor – “Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) announced today that Steak ‘n Shake, the definitive American brand and home of the original Steakburger™ and hand-dipped milkshakes, will be the primary sponsor of the No. 15 Indy car driven by Graham Rahal at five Verizon IndyCar Series events including the 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The partnership includes races at Long Beach, two events at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Detroit and Mid-Ohio. Maxim Magazine branding will also be featured on the race car. Both are owned by Biglari Holdings Inc.” See the livery here at the No. 15 livery page. – RLL – (3/24/15)
IMS to add new SAFER barriers before the 500 – “Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials plan to install 1,560 additional feet of SAFER barriers at the 2.5-mile facility before on-track activities commence in May for the Indianapolis 500.” “We are obviously different than the other mile-and-a half or two-mile ovals with the (low) banking and our angles,” Boles told USA TODAY Sports. “We’re so tight to begin with, the likelihood of getting into those (unprotected areas) is really slim and getting into one with any significant speed is even slimmer. But we decided that the best thing to do was to add (SAFER) to those two locations.” – USA Today – (3/24/15)
St. Pete Indy Lights entry list is out – The entry list for the first two races of the 2015 Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires season is out. The 13 car/driver combinations that were primarily used at test sessions this winter are on the list and an additional entry for Team Moore Racing is still possible if they can add a driver. Full entry list here. – RACER – (3/24/15)
St. Pete spotter guide is out – The first spotter guide of the year has been released by INDYCAR. There are no major surprises based on testing liveries seen thus far this season. The only car to watch out for will be Dale Coyne Racing’s No. 19 to be driven by Francesco Dracone. The spotter guide shows a similar livery to what Justin Wilson drove last year, Dracone tweeted a picture of “his” car in Huertas’ colors, and one would think Dracone would be bringing some sponsorship money if he got the ride so that would could be a surprise. – St. Pete Spotter Guide – (3/23/15)
INDYCAR secures international broadcast package with ESPN Player – “ESPN Player will bring fans across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (excluding the UK, France, Italy and South Africa) live and on-demand coverage of the Verizon IndyCar Series season as a new channel on the digital subscription service. ESPN Player users can enjoy comprehensive coverage of all 16 races, starting with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 29.” – INDYCAR – (3/23/15)
Spyder joins SPM as Hinch associate sponsor – “Schmidt Peterson Motorsports (SPM) announced today that Spyder Active Sports, Inc. will be an associate sponsor of the No. 5 Arrow Electronics car driven by James Hinchcliffe in the Verizon IndyCar Series.” “It’s great that the Spyder relationship has grown now to include everyone at SPM,” said Hinchcliffe. “Working with Spyder through the 2014 season was a great experience and the brand really encompasses what IndyCar racing is all about. I’m thrilled that we can keep that relationship going. No argument that we will be the best dressed team in pit lane!” – SPM – (3/23/15)
Cavin Q&A 3/23/15 – The Indianapolis Star’s Curt Cavin’s fan Q&A covers under-the-radar picks, tub repairs, Simona’s future, and more. – Indianapolis Star – (3/23/15)
Bourdais grabs a victory at Sebring – Sebastien Bourdais was a co-driver for the overall winners of the 2015 12 Hours of Sebring, the No. 5 Action Express Chevrolet. Scott Dixon was a part of a fourth placed finish for Chip Ganassi Racing. Conor Daly was part of the podium finish in PC with Performance Tech. – INDYCAR – (3/22/15)
Allmendinger wants to do the double – AJ Allmendinger wants to run the Indianapolis 500 and Coca Cola 600 and his Sprint Cup team owner “has an open mind” should he find the right deal. “The only problem is I was definitely spoiled by doing it with Roger Penske for the first time ever,” said Allmendinger. “And I would only do it if it was an opportunity to go win that race, because leading at Indy is a feeling I’ve never had before in my life. My heart was beating, shaking in the car. I want to experience that again, so if it’s the right opportunity, I’d love to do it.” – FOX Sports – (3/22/15)
Boston working hard to land ’16 INDYCAR finale – The city of Boston is working hard to land a deal to run the Verizon IndyCar Series finale in “The Hub” district of the city in 2016. “We’re working on it, we’re looking to see if it works for the city,” said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “Certainly it would be a great opportunity for promotion of the city.” – Boston Herald – (3/22/15)
INDYCAR announces Leaders Circle increases – “INDYCAR announced an increase of $250,000 to its Leaders Circle program, which raises the total annual payment to eligible Verizon IndyCar Series entrants to $1.25 million.

The St. Petersburg Grand Prix is one of my favorite races of the year, the atmosphere is great and the track is a blast to drive.” – 8 Star Motorsports – (3/20/15)

(narrating) Number one rule of surgery is limit exposure. Keep your hands clean, your incisions small, and your wounds covered. Number two rule of surgery is when rule number one stops working, try something else. Because sometimes you can't limit exposure, sometimes the injury is so bad you have to cut, and cut big.

(narrating) In surgery, the healing process begins with a cut, an incision, the tearing of flesh. We have to damage the healthy flesh in order to expose the unhealthy. It feels cruel and against common sense, but it works. You risk exposure for the sake of healing, and when it's over, once the incision has been closed, you wait. You wait and hope that your patient will heal. That you haven't in fact, just made everything worse.

ONE MAN’S JUSTICE aka ONE TOUGH BASTARD
from the director of Equilibrium
starring Brian Bosworth
This 1995 Bozploitation vehicle is on the more enjoyable end of the DTV action pictures I’ve seen. It’s not as awesome as Bosworth’s theatrical starring role STONE COLD, but director Kurt Wimmer’s slightly pretentious touch gives it the feel of an authentic ’80s action picture that Seagal or Chuck Norris might’ve made. Not the usual unwatchable crap you get on DTV, this is solid cable level filmatism.
The plot is a variation on a HARD TO KILL type of revenge deal. Bosworth is a drill instructor/hand-to-hand-combat teacher for the Army. Whether or not he will ever find a practical application for these fighting skills is anyone’s guess. He’s estranged from his wife but planning to work things out, and he has a little blonde daughter. Unfortunately, wife and daughter happen to be at a gas station where an ugly motherfucker named Marcus (Jeff Kober, the same guy who played Beserko in COYOTE MOON) is making a nefarious arms deal. The daughter witnesses the arms deal through the bushes so, under cell phone orders from a mysterious boss (all we see is the hoop ring on his nose) the bad guys massacre everybody at the gas station.
To make it more personal though, the Boz happens to be driving by singing to himself and sees that the police (who of course know him by his first name) are in a standoff at the gas station and he figures out his wife and kid are inside. He walks in unarmed and tries to talk them down, then beat them up. Oh, I get it, that’s what the fighting skills are for. He’s gonna be fighting in this movie. Pretty slick the way they slid that in there. Anyway despite his skills he ends up slumped over with two bullets in his chest.
Like Seagal in HARD TO KILL he wakes up from a coma. He’s one tough bastard, so it’s hard to kill him with a mere two bullets to the chest. I think his coma is 8 weeks instead of Seagal’s 7 years, and he looks freshly shaven instead of having a Rip Van Winkle beard. His daughter is still alive, but in a coma, and he wakes up just in time to see her die.
Earlier we saw him at work imitating R. Lee Ermey, but now apparently he’s on mourning/coma leave, so he doesn’t have to go to work and instead dedicates all his time to revenge. He remembers that the shooter had a bat tattoo on his neck, so he goes to every tattoo parlor in town and asks questions. (There are alot of montages in this movie, by the way.) On the trail to one man’s justice he meets a 12 year old drug courier named Mikey. Mikey’s a tough talking little kid who carries a piece and Marcus trusts him to carry an entire kilo bag of cocaine in his backpack. Actually it turns out to be rat poison (looks like powdered sugar to me) but still, it seems like he has made it high up the totem pole for a kid that young. The Doogie Howser of the drug game.
This seems to be a Wimmer touch, trying to show how bad the world is by making such a tiny little kid one of the main criminal characters and treating him almost like an adult. They might’ve gotten the idea from the movie FRESH, also about a young drug courier. But this kid reminds me a little more of Gary Coleman. Always saying adorably precocious things and pouting. While FRESH had a gritty and pretty believable look at ghetto drug dealers, this one takes place in a crazy multi-cultural movie world. In a montage that shows how Mikey has his ear to the streets and is able to spread a rumor for the Boz, he goes around giving pounds to mostly dorky white and Asian guys. One part he’s talking to two white guys, one tall skinny guy with round sunglasses and a beefy, sloppy guy with a goatee and backwards baseball cap. For a minute I was convinced this was a pre-MATRIX Wachowski Brothers cameo, but if that was true I’m sure someone else would’ve picked up on it by now.
There are two other main villains besides Marcus. There’s the drug lord Dexter Kane, played by MC Hammer (credited just as Hammer). He probaly filmed his whole role in an afternoon, but it’s cool because he gets to act tough and say ‘fuck’ once or twice, a good afternoon for a reverend. Then the main guy (the nose ring guy on the phone) is Bruce Payne as Agent Savak. This guy is a funny villain because he’s supposed to be an FBI agent but he has long hair and the nose ring. He always talks sarcastic-evil, drifting between some kind of Chicago and English accents. You know what he looks like — imagine Vinnie Jones playing Michael Bolton in a VH1 biopic. In fact, alot of the bad guys in this movie look like they could be the ugly bass player for some shitty metal band from the ’80s. And there’s a rival gang with some kind of hippie leader who looks alot like Carrot Top.
The action is okay. Boz does lots of kicking and punching and flipping people over. Because he was in the NFL he gets to ram a guy through a wall. He kind of fights like a pro-wrestler with a little bit of martial arts training. Also he gets to do some running. I think there was a part where he kicks a guy in the balls but I can’t remember for sure. If so he should’ve said “field goal!” Sort of in the tradition of DOUBLE TEAM, where Dennis Rodman makes random basketball references.
There is one exploding car in the movie, but not a car crash. Actually it’s better. Savak lights the end of a gas nozzle on fire and then uses it as a blowtorch. Before he lets ‘er rip his oneliner is, “How does Webster define ‘inferno’?” This guy is a nut.
There’s also alot of child endangerment in the movie. Mostly Mikey, who he gets involved in a fight with drug dealers, arms smugglers and corrupt federal agents. Then he talks to Mikey’s mom and doesn’t tell her anything about what’s going on. As a father himself you’d think he’d want her to know. But you know, even in the opening credits when his daughter is still alive he leaves her standing on the edge of a cliff with a stopwatch while he runs. If she had fallen off the cliff who would he have gotten revenge on then? Gravity? The rocks below? Man’s hubris?
During his quest for revenge Boz realizes that he’s setting a bad example for Mikey, who also wants revenge for the death of his friend. So in front of Mikey he makes a point of not taking the chance to shoot Marcus in the head, and what that gets him is handcuffed by Savak, beat up and thrown in jail on bogus charges. Mikey also watches as Savak and his men decide to leave the Boz alive, which will of course turn out to be a bad decision too. So right there are two concrete examples to show Mikey why he should go ahead and exact savage vengeance (or One Boy’s Justice).
Don’t worry though, Savak does end up dying and this is a definite highlight. It’s one of those slo-motion falling off a building deaths in the tradition of Hans Grueber. But Wimmer takes it to the next level by drawing it out longer than expected and showing it from multiple angles. The best is two businessmen smiling and joking with each other on their lunch break as this dipshit plummets in the background. Instead of the usual “landing on a car and smashing it, Wimmer has him fall through a glass ceiling into a yuppie cafe, where he lands on a piano and smashes it. There’s also a good shot of his blood pouring out over sheet music.
Like Seagal’s pictures do occasionally, this one has an odd use of animal sound effects. When he’s about to (almost) kill the man who murdered his family, you hear a hawk sound effect, along with some lines of dialogue from earlier in the movie. This makes sense because in the opening he pointed out a hawk to his daughter. But then there is the sound of a tiger growling. There was no tiger earlier in the movie. At least, not literally. I don’t know what the fuck that’s about.
IMDb lists “ONE TOUGH BASTARD” as the title of the movie, so hopefully it was released under that title somewhere in the world. In the US it’s ONE MAN’S JUSTICE and the cover just shows Bosworth’s face and gun with an American flag background. (Not sure what the stars and stripes have to do with any of this.) If that’s the original title it’s a shame they didn’t keep it, it’s actually the main reason I wanted to see the movie. Also, I’m sorry to report that nobody ever refers to him as “one tough bastard” in the movie, even though he is one. I guess some things you gotta depict visually, not explain everything in dialogue.

I’d pay good money to watch a film where Brian Bosworth attempts revenge on Man’s hubris…
CallMeKermiT
Wow , I’ve recently seen this on TV , and I remembered this review , especially for the Bosworth/Hammer connection . Unfortunately , I’m here to report that the movie title here in Italy is not One Tough Bastard , but FACCIA DA BASTARDO , translated as “Face of a Bastard” or “A Bastard’s Face”. Kind of offensive , in my humble opinion , but pretty cool.
STEVEN SEAGAL has…
THE FACE OF A BASTARD…

I remember it being called “One Tough Bastard” here in the UK. I gave it a miss though, a decision I regret, as like you, I thought that Stone Cold was awesome.
“Don’t son, that guns loaded!”

SERIOUSLY? That two year old kid from Indonesia who smokes 40 cigarettes is INSANE. Someone needs to punch his folks a few times, or just throw them into the ocean I saw the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TOtoVEJSTU

I watched this last night (ONE MAN’S JUSTICE version, sadly). I’m amazed you didn’t mention the little detail that pops up when the main guy decides to kill Marcus: he writes “KILL MARCUS” on a to-do list in giant red letters. You can tell it’s a to-do list because “To Do List!!!” is printed across the top.
As if that wasn’t good enough, if you pause the movie you can read some me the other entries, including “pick up dry cleaning”, “pick up seaweed” (?), and… “have sex”.
None of these entries have been crossed off. For the rest of the movie I was wondering if he ever managed to have that sex before he met with one tough bastard’s justice.
Also, did he mean have sex that day, or just have sex in general? How long had “have sex” been on the list? Has he ever had sex? Is this a subtle hint that his evil behaviour arises from a frustrated libido?
Some of the other entries on the list are illegible, at least on the DVD. This is the best reason I can think of to pick up the blu ray of this movie.
Captain Aktion
Just watched this, and am almost positive they do call him “a tough bastard” when he’s still in the coma and they’re talking about how he lived.

Some important and possibly relevant events happened in the world during the three years between ROCKY II and ROCKY III. Disco records were blown up at baseball games, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong were released, some motherfucker shot J.R. and the U.S. boycotted the Olympics in Moscow. Minutes after Ronald Reagan (THE KILLERS) was sworn into office the Iran hostages were totally coincidentally released, and the next day the first DeLorean DMC-12 was built. Later MTV went on the air. All the sudden it was 1982.
Movies had been changing too. ROCKY was the biggest movie of ’76, but of course ’77 brought us STAR WARS, and since then we’d also had THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. It would be quite some time before another drama was the #1 movie of a year (not until RAIN MAN in 1989 I believe).
The ROCKY series evolves with the times, and the transition to the ’80s is a drastic one. After the traditional Bill Conti fanfare (title scrolling over championship belt) and end-of-the-last-one recap we get a moment of contemplation and then… jugga jugga jugga jugga BRRRMMMMP!…BRRMMP BRRMMP BRRMMP! electric guitars and fireworks. “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor is as purely, un-self-consciously motivational-speakerish as “Gonna Fly Now,” and even more audaciously grooving and tackily emblematic of its era. The song is so ridiculous it’s kind of a betrayal of the dirty, street level reality of the series so far, but it’s dead perfect for this slick new ROCKY of the aerobics-and-American-flags Reagan years.
The training and fighting montages were hallmarks of ROCKY and ROCKY II, so it’s fitting that III kicks off with a tour-de-force montage depicting Rocky’s reign as heavyweight champ after defeating Apollo Creed. The entire 5+ minutes of “Eye of the Tiger” play out under Rocky’s headlines, magazine covers, appearance on The Muppet Show, etc. His part II attempts to improve his reading skills seem to have paid off with many spokesperson gigs, and he and Adrian and Rocky Jr. (Ian Fried, voice of Timothy, THE SECRET OF NIMH) seem to be enjoying their riches much like the Creed family before them. Except Paulie looks resentful and keeps swigging out of his bottle.
Meanwhile there’s a fierce-looking up-and-comer out there, Clubber Lang (introducing Mr. T), popping in and out of the montage like a shark in the water. The camera does Bruce Lee zoom-ins on him as he sits at the title matches eyeing Rocky like a predator stalking his prey. That’s why I had to mention MTV – this is a movie that introduces its antagonist halfway through a song montage! That is crazy. It starts to show Clubber taking out his opponents in clips and headlines. And while he’s jogging in the streets like Rocky used to do, Rocky is signing autographs or filming an American Express commercial. The champ gets a motorcycle for Christmas, does ads for DeLorean and Maserati, is on the cover of GQ, has his own candy bar called “Crunch Punch.”
What I’m getting at is Rocky is no longer the underdog. Now he has a pinball machine based on his life, seen at the arcade between the dragon one and the Playboy one. Paulie stumbles in, drunk and resentful, and throws a bottle through it. Rocky has to come bail him out.
When we get our first clear look at Part III Rocky it is shocking. He doesn’t even look like the same person. As Paulie says, “You get your face all fixed up. Handsome. Nice clothes.” He doesn’t mention the haircut. This is carefully sculpted ’80s Stallone, and though in many ways this is one of the most enjoyable of the series it’s also the one where he seems the least like Rocky, and the most like Generic Stallone Character. It’s not just his looks, it’s his composure. He doesn’t get as much time to be goofy. He doesn’t babble as much. Sometimes I wondered if he was actually Rambo undercover as Rocky.
New Rocky has been around long enough for ten successful title defenses, and now he’s mixing things up with a charity fight against the wrestling champion Thunderlips (Hulk Hogan, a year before the first reported cases of Hulkamania). Mickey thinks he’s crazy for doing it, which you’d think they would’ve discussed before standing in the ring during the introductions. At first I wondered how they were gonna do this – are they gonna pretend that wrestling is real, as you did back then? They wisely go with the angle that Thunderlips is defending the tradition of kayfabe by beating up the boxer to prove that wrestling is real. But then he’s doing pro-wrestling moves, including body pressing Rocky and throwing him out of the ring into the crowd, so there is not as much credibility here as there could be. (I know Stallone says he hurt him real bad, but he hurt him in the way that wrestling moves hurt. In the movie they’re supposed to be having a real fight.)
I remember when THE DARK KNIGHT RISES came out Chris Rock compared it to ROCKY III. I’m not really sure where he gets that exactly, but the way Clubber challenges Rocky is very Bane-like. He pops up out of the crowd at a ceremony to unveil Rocky’s statue at the art museum. Rocky is trying to announce his retirement and this angry dude comes out disrespecting him and his wife. Clubber is a great villain because he has that crazy Mr. T style (more menacing than lovable at that point) yet he finds some way to blend into the crowd and keep an eye on things until he decides to call attention to himself. Also because most of his dialogue is great trash talk. Of course there’s his famous prediction for the fight (“PAIN!”), but my favorite is probly “I reject the challenge because Balboa is no challenge, but I’ll be more than happy to beat up on him some more.” And also I forgot that Mr. T’s catch phrase “I pity the fool” came from this. His whole career is a ROCKY III reference.
I need to take a tangent here for a second to say that I’m fascinated by the phenomenon of Mr. T. Here’s a guy who had a career as a bodyguard, but cultivated his own personal style and gimmicky tough guy talk in a weird enough way that people started to notice him, including Stallone seeing him on TV and putting him in this movie. And then once he became a TV star all his eccentricities and catch phrases just got accepted into the culture without context and we assumed they made sense. He had his stint in wrestling (Roddy Piper hated him) and like a wrestling heel, or like Godzilla, he got popular enough that he had to turn into a good guy. So the persona we mainly know him for is not the guy that’s gonna kill ya to death, it’s the friendly giant who hangs out with kids, gives them inspirational advice and does what he can to stop their community center from getting shut down.
If you get a kick out of goofy ’80s pop culture curiosities, you absolutely must check out the VHS tape Mr. T’s Be Somebody Or Be Somebody’s Fool. It’s an inspirational tape with skits and songs, mostly involving T badly rapping lyrics written by Ice-T about respecting your mother and stuff like that. It’s pretty much for sure by far the greatest version of this type of thing ever. I’m also kind of into his cartoon, where he travels around the country as the coach of a young gymnastics team and solves mysteries. In fact, nobody steal this idea, but I have this pipe dream that if I ever wanted to do a podcast it would be called “T Time With Vern” where I would watch the episodes of the cartoon with people from the cities where they take place and then we talk about the episode and their city. The best version of this though would be if I actually recorded the episodes in the cities in question. So keep this idea on the shelf for when I have ROCKY III money.
Anyway, the thing is, Clubber is an asshole, but he happens to be right. He accuses Rocky of ducking him, only taking on easy opponents, which Mick admits is actually true, he’s never thought Rocky had the skills of a champ and he’s been protecting him. When Rocky finds this out of course hates it and decides he needs to fight Clubber before he retires.
When it comes to training for the fight we discover the true ridiculousness of decadent ’80s Rocky. His gym is now a tourist attraction open to the public. While he practices there’s a live disco band playing, people wanting autographs and kisses, Paulie selling merchandise. This is not gonna work.
That band is one of the last signs of ’70s music in the series. The Conti sound is mostly about horns, but theme-song-makers Survivor are about guitars. In fact, one of the reasons the band is called Survivor had to do with singer Jim Peterik missing a guest appearance with Chase, the band that drummer Gary Smith and bassist Dennis Keith Johnson had been in. Chase was led by trumpet player Bill Chase, who was killed along with other band members in a plane crash on the way to the show Peterik missed. These guys were survivors and horns were a casualty.
Stallone hired Survivor after hearing this song, “Poor Man’s Son”:
but luckily “Eye of the Tiger” is more rockin. It’s also more rockin than Joe Esposito’s “You’re the Best,” which apparently was written for this scene but rejected. ROCKY I director John G. Avildsen used Stallone’s leftovers in THE KARATE KID.
If we were paying attention to the lyrics, “Eye of the Tiger” sort of gave away what was gonna happen. In the second verse it warned, “So many times, it happens too fast / You trade your passion for glory / Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past / You must fight just to keep them alive.” Rocky loses his grip and has his ass handed to him by Clubber Lang.
Like Rocky of part 1, Clubber is a determined outsider from a poor background, who through hard work and determination manages to (like Rocky of part II) capture the belt. Unlike Rocky he has a huge ego, believed the title belonged to him, and ran around angrily yelling about it. Otherwise you would wonder why we’re not supposed to root for him. He even positions himself as some kind of figure of rebellion, saying the government doesn’t want him to win because he’s not a puppet. But he’s no Muhammad Ali or Apollo Creed. There’s nothing charming about it. He’s just a dick.
If you pay attention, Clubber gets what he wants by mouthing off, but he also brings upon his own downfall that way. Because the same night he beat Rocky he also sealed his fate by being rude to special ringside guest former champion Apollo Creed. That was a mistake.
See, a couple times when some mayhem is going down Mickey suddenly seems to be having a heart attack. And of course that is much like coughing in a movie. It means you’re doomed. He SPOILER dies right after the championship bout, a very moving scene not only because he’s the most lovable character in the series but because Stallone suddenly gets the eye of the tiger in the acting department for a long scene of emotional yelling and crying. And he’s good at that.
Anyway, with Mickey gone and Rocky retired, suddenly here comes Apollo Creed to convince Rocky to get a rematch with Lang so he can train him and take that chump out. You can guess how I feel about this. Fight Brotherhood. Opponents working together. Carl Weathers. I love this shit.
Apollo has learned humility from his defeat in part II. He’s the one who tells Rocky about the eye of the tiger. You gotta be hungry, etc. So Apollo takes “Stallion,” as he always calls him away from his disco band and palatial training facility to L.A. and the dingy club where Apollo got his start. There are pipes leaking from the ceiling and all the fighters are black and Paulie, we start to figure out, is totally racist. But Rocky loves everyone and they love him because holy shit that’s Rocky Balboa.
So although III is the birth of the slicker, sillier ’80s ROCKY movies it’s also a repudiation of everything that came out of successful Tiger Jacket Rocky. It’s reminding Rocky where he came from, and that not having all the crap you want can help bring out the best in you. He never would’ve gone those 15 rounds with Apollo the first time if he’d been living high on the hog back then. Material items make you go soft.
Having Apollo instead of Mick adds a different dimension to the training montages. Now it’s two shiny pumped up dudes competing to look the best, and then hugging each other and stuff. I like the scene where they run slow motion on the beach together.
The fight is really good too, and again it’s great to have Apollo in our corner instead of facing him down. T is a formidable foe though. I don’t even mind that he’s Rocky’s only opponent who you can’t ever imagine showing him any respect. One thing that’s slightly goofy, there is some obvious looping of dialogue during the fight. They have mouthpieces in but they’re speaking clearly to each other! I noticed Stallone did that in II also, but I think he does it a couple more times in this one.
Just like Stallone is slimmer in the movie, the movie itself has lost weight. It’s about half an hour shorter than the first two. Alot of the fat that has to be cut to get to that is actually the quiet character moments that made ROCKY so great in the first place. But I actually think that’s okay, because we already have two of those movies. This is something different, a less human story but a more mythic one, based more in action movie archetypes, with less told through long conversations and more through music and visuals. More MTV, honestly. But I like that.
ROCKY III is no ROCKY, but it’s the best ROCKY III ever made. I love this one.
I would be remiss not to include here one of my very favorite hip hop songs, which has various Mickey and Clubber Lang dialogue taken from this movie (sometimes re-written, sometimes just re-recorded, probly due to sample clearance troubles).
And as long as we’re at it, here’s a connection I never made before. Is this:

TDKR is a lot like Rocky 3 as Batman goes toe to toe with Bane without really being fully prepared for the fight which leads to a crippling defeat and sets the stage for the triumphant rematch later in the film.
It’s a shame Heath Ledger died. Would’ve been rad if Joker and Batman had a friendly motivational foot race on the beach to get him ready for the big finale.

I never saw the change in the series as a reflection of the times. I guess it’s because I’m a child of the 80s, so I was more familiar with this Rocky, before discovering the greatness of his beginnings.
Man, I loved Eye of the Tiger. I was in the third grade this year and for our Christmas program the fourth graders got to sing it, while we were stuck with Do You Hear What I Hear. I was so jealous. Now all I can think of is what a weird Christmas program that was.
There is a pre-sample-clearance version of that Ghostface track. It’s pretty easy to find.
The Movie Bastard
What the hell actually happened to Stallone to make him…change physically? Surgery? Magic? It’s kind of weird. Rocky 3 is still great, and serves as the proto-movie template for Rocky 4. Plus I love the place where they train with Apollo. It’s so well realized you can almost smell it.
The symbolism of him throwing his helmet at his statue, it’s too good to be true. There’s so much still to love in these films, and I feel it is an underdog story in so much that it’s about a guy who doesn’t know if he’s good enough to do what he wants to do. Being paralysed with fear/indecision is something that plagues most of us at one point or other.
It’s a shame they don’t show too much of T’s training. Like Drago is made via science, I’d suspect T would do something like masquerade as an old lady in NYC and try to get mugged. He’d then smash any fool who’d take the bait. Or maybe do some Best of the Best 2 seminar’s with Sonny Landham. Either way, he wouldn’t be doing any Mr. Miyagi shit.
He went and got civilized, that’s what.
Poeface
Minor quibble – Mickey has his turn then gets laid up in the dressing room while the fights going on. Why the fuck didn’t they take him straight to a hospital and potentially save his life? Rocky returns to the dressing room, defeated, Mick’s lying there fighting for his life while two guys stand around (one of them a medical person of some sort cause he’s got a doctors bag). I guess it was a plot device, so Rocky could say farewell at a boxing match and not in a hospital bed. But shit, surely there are paramedics at these events, for these reasons?
But never mind, I love seeing Stallone get all emotional. And I love that Rocky is such a softie when it comes to his wife and Mickey, and in the way he handles Paulie’s tantrums, like he really cares for these people.
Part’s 3 and 4 got a lot of VHS play between me and my mates growing up (along with ELECTRIC BOOGALOO). It used to get us psyched to work out. Mr T may have been an arsehole in this, but he was a lean mean fighting machine, a force of nature.
Broddie
Frank Stallone’s PUSHIN’ is a huge guilty pleasure of mine due to it’s use in this movie. I can’t never help BUT shimmy whenever his scene comes on. This is the most feel good ROCKY of them all from a purely superficial level and not from the more spiritual level that applies to the original. Also Clubber Lang has to be in my all time top 5 rivals list. The man was spitting nothing but ether years before Nas made the notion famous.
Forrest Taft
“…but luckily “Eye of the Tiger” is more rockin. It’s also more rockin than Joe Esposito’s “You’re the Best,””
What in G-d’s name, and I’m not talking about the comma error! I can certainly sympathize with those who prefer Rocky to Karate Kid (partly because I’m one of them myself), but claiming anything is more rockin than “You’re the Best” is sacrilege. My blood starts pumping only thinking about that song and the montage in Karate Kid.
That montage IS hands down the greatest thing about THE KARATE KID. Well that and Elisabeth Shue in her early 20’s prime.
Franchise Fred
Maggie, did we go to the same school? I remember singing Eye of the Tiger in fourth grade and another class singing Do You Hear What I Hear but now I can’t be sure of they were older or younger.
That is too funny. Did you go to school in Ogden, UT?
The first songs I ever loved were eighties montage songs. They are the apex of all music as far as I’m concerned. So since “Eye of the Tiger” is the king of eighties montage songs, by the transitive property, it is the king of music.

Spot on review, Vern. This entry is clearly a turning point where Rocky and 80s sly kind of fuse, with Rocky becoming a larger-than-life 80s action hero and ultimately indestructible ass-kicker. Six years ago he was a 30 year-old who would be lucky to go the distance with the champ; now he’s a 30-how-old (?) bronzed god capable of beating the ass of a younger and much stronger opponent. And yet, III manipulates so many basic human and male archetypes (core fantasies and insecurities) so effectively that it is an extremely and continually compelling watch. However implausible and hackneyed, Rocky trash-talking, rope-a-doping, and generally beating Clubber’s ass in the rematch never ever gets old for me. No, I don’t hate Clubber. But I pity the fool.
III and IV are the ones I can easily watch at least once a year, because they move at such a great clip, and no scene is wasted. The Clubber rematch and Drago matches are at once the least plausible and most satisfying fights of the series for my money.
My favorite scene is after the statue ceremony with Mickey and Rocky where Mickey tells him “You can’t win! Dis guy’ll ya ta death inside o’ three rounds!” and “He’s a wrecking machine!” Then he tells Rock about how all the contenders he’s defeated were really handpicked to help him keep the title a little longer and the scene gets quiet.
(adding)
And Mickey has the great line “The worst thing happened to you that can happen to any fighter. Ya got civilized.”
Oh shit Broddie, I knew I should’ve looked up who the disco band was. I didn’t realize that was Frank Stallone. So this must mean that Rocky set up a paying gig for the a capella bums on the street corner? I like that.
The progression of a capella bums on the street corner to Rocky’s gym disco band is kind of similar to that of the singers in New Jack City. I wonder if Rocky III was an influence. (I’d previously assumed that it was either a clever invention of the film or derived from a classic gangster movie.)

“What the hell actually happened to Stallone to make him…change physically? Surgery?”
A nose job and a tan, mainly.

Was this when steroids entered the picture too?
Vern, I hope you werent joking. That sounds like an amazing podcast.
Maggie, no, east coast. Maybe I sang it in second grade…

I never read Mick’s screening fighters as a reflection of his feelings on Rocky’s fighting skills. Far from it. I always took it as a testament to the love he had for him. He got tired of seeing Rocky get beat, nearly lose sight in his eye, turn punch drunk. Mick knows Rocky could take a Clubber Lang—but by taking it to the absolute limit, and at a terrible cost. Quite simply, Mick doesn’t think Rocky needs to do that again, not after Creed. That might not of been the eye of the tiger, but it comes from an honest, caring place, which made his death all the more effective. He’s not protecting his nest egg, he’s protecting his adoptive son.

I hear Creed actually answers the biggest unanswered question of in the Rocky saga, which is of course, “Who won that final fight between Rocky and Apollo?”
This is my favorite of the ROCKY films. Mr. T, is great and I like the dynamic between Rocky & Apollo in this one.
There was a Rocky video game that came out in the early 2000’s that featured classic bouts from the films and the designers went through the trouble of crafting multiple ROCKY character skins for the game. Each skin represented different eras/films and it was done with Sly’s approval to capture the actual changes to Sly’s appearance over time due to plastic surgery. I think it is nice that the developers of the game went to that much trouble to capture the changes, but odd that they would promote it as a selling point of the game.
“Hulk Hogan, a year before the first reported cases of Hulkamania”
Hilarious! People will never forgot how AIDS effected the 80’s but they are quick dismiss how rampant Hulkamania was at that time. I am no doctor but you could say Hulkamania was running wild in the 80’s.

Best part of Clubber Lang singling out Rocky at the retirment press conference is when the camera focuses on Mickey and Rocky. In the background you hear Clubber going all: “I’m glad you people are seeing this here….I’ve earned this I’ve worked hard for this here…please don’t judge me by the color of my skin or the way that I look judge me by the content of my character, judge me by my pride, my determination or judge me by my fighting record”.
I think one of the reasons I was such a big fan of Tyson back in the late 80’s is cause I viewed him as a real life Clubber Lang.

I rewatched this a few years ago and was heartbroken that I didn’t like it – it was cartoony and broad and manipulative, but it didn’t manipulate as well as part 4 did. I rewatched it again this week and whaddya know – I love it again! The only real problem I still have is Mickey dying during the fight (couldn’t they have split that into like, two different sections of the movie?) but Meredith and Stallone’s acting in that scene is SO GOOD that I didn’t even mind that!
My other main issue was Rocky acting more like a normal guy. I still think it’s weird to see him in nice suits and drive sports cars but it fits this story and the place his character is in, so I kinda like it now. (Kinda like I can forgive H20’s endless fake jump scares in the first half because it actually fits Laurie’s state of mind). Other nitpick – the weird opening with Paulie and the pinball machine is so out of place that it bothered me last time. Now I kinda love it – most other movies wouldn’t have that scene, but Stallone gives both Burt Young and Talia Shire they’re own big, almost Oscar-baity moment in this movie. They’re still characters with their own feelings, not just window dressing. It’s smart and adds another layer to these people we’ve grown to love and show’s what a generous writer and director Stallone is.
My final ex-complaint was I felt the Apollo relationship was forced and I didn’t get why he suddenly dropped everything to play 2nd fiddle to Rocky. I have no idea what I was thinking since the movie gives him FOUR motivations to help Rocky. 1) “Retirement doesn’t suit him”. He’s bored and needs some excitement. 2) He’s a Mayweather-style BUSINESSMAN and he probably made a ton of money on the rematch. 3) Clubber Lang ran his mouth too much and he has to pay. 4) The “favor”, which leads to the incredibly iconic ending. You can tell the love and care Stallone puts into writing the Apollo character, so much that I kinda don’t want to watch IV now because of what happens. I love the later Rockys, but if this series stopped at a trilogy the freeze frame here would actually be a perfect ending.
Neal, that’s good stuff. I really enjoy this one. Mr. T is such a great heel, and the film takes you through Rocky’s emotional rollercoaster so briskly and effectively. Like, in that first fight w/ Clubber, you can feel the “oh, shit” foreboding: Rocky’s no match for this guy. Then by the time we get to the rematch, we believe it (for the moment, at least) and love it when Rocky beats his ass. On more sober reflection, this is the very effective emotional manipulation doing it’s thing, because in reality I think it’s super implausible that Rocky beats Clubber ever. If Rhonda Rousey comes back and beats Holly Holm, I’ll eat my words, but Rocky beating Clubber at the rematch is some Rousey beats Holm ish. And that x50 with Drago. This is what I mean with all my talk about 80s Rocky, which is the perfect storm of (1) the fact that this has become a cash cow franchise, (2) Stallone’s rising action hero identity, and (3) the garish excesses of the 80s that were so effectively satirized in American Psycho. It’s not just the fact that Rocky wins these matches (which is implausible) but that III and IV seem to need for Rocky to win these matches against literal villains via literal knockout (plus, all the material crap, like the Paulie robot and the Porsche and the mansion and the fancy schmancy clothes.) Sly shows some self-awareness about this: III”s opening montage and Paulie’s breakdown and Rocky’s open-to-the-public training media circus all suggest some awareness that maybe Rocky is getting swept up in his own stardom. So, even here, I think Stallone injects a bit of self-awareness and commentary about excess and priorities and the difference between social vs. “existential” wins. But overall, III and IV are very much wrapped up in Rocky being the champ and knocking out cartoonish villains, even when this stretches credulity to the breaking point and seems to lose touch with essence of Rocky, which defines winning in personal and psychological vs. social (status) terms.
Still, I pity the fool doesn’t get amped in these fights, for Apollo and Rocky joining forces, for Eye of the Tiger, etc., etc. If I was George Lucas, the only thing I’d change is maybe editing out the whole Thunderlips thing, but even that also serves the purpose of showing us that Rocky’s life is becoming a media circus.
Neal, I think all the Rocky movies are like that, hitting you differently depending where you are in life. It’s like how II became my favorite after living enough life to realize that one success isn’t enough to carry you through, and what do you do when you can’t even hold a desk job or read cue cards? IV has been the most wildly fluctuating for me, going from childhood favorite, to least favorite as an adult until I put together the politics of Rocky IV and First Blood II and I’m still working out my relationship to IV.
“The odds against Balboa making a comeback at 34 are very long, indeed.” – Announcer Guy in Rocky III
According to IMDB trivia, Morgan Freeman auditioned for the role of Clubber Lang’s manager. I know he just had THE ELECTRIC COMPANY and that prison movie with Robert Redford by this time, but it would be weird seeing him from a modern perspective in something just yelling encouragement and instructions at Mr. T.

City's Festive Season Plan Prioritises Safety
EThekwini Municipality’s Festive Season plan will focus on clamping down on lawlessness and preventing road accidents by deploying additional law enforcement officers to ensure safe holidays for residents and tourists in the City.
Unveiling the City’s festive season management plan today, 7 December, Mayor Zandile Gumede said Durban is ready to put its best foot forward to welcome holiday makers this festive season.
EThekwini Municipality has put together a comprehensive integrated summer season plan and pulled out all the stops to ensure that visitors to the City will enjoy the warm weather, warm beaches, be welcomed by friendly people and have a memorable holiday.
The peak season plan will be in operation from 7 December to 20 January 2017. The launch of the festive season comes as Councillor Gumede celebrates 100 days in office.
“The safety of our patrons is a key priority as promised in my inaugural speech, thus, eThekwini Municipality and other stakeholders have put special measures in place to ensure that locals and visitors alike enjoy a safe and hassle free stay in our beautiful City,” said Councillor Gumede.
Law Enforcement Officers will be out in full force. Metro Police Officers, members of the South African Police Service, Beach Law Enforcement Officers and additional security personnel will conduct regular patrols around the City and at all beaches to ensure that law and order prevails.
Extra security guards will be hired to complement law enforcement officers on the beachfront and will be deployed to key hotspots.
Metro Police will be out in full force conducting several road safety checks to ensure that the use of unroadworthy vehicles, drunken driving and irresponsible conduct on the road is curbed. They will also be on the lookout for any general by-law and traffic contraventions as well as criminal activity.
To control traffic on the beachfront, certain roads leading into the beachfront will be closed and some will be boom gate controlled. On peak days, the boom gates will be closed and only permit holders will be allowed access to the beachfront.
Sixty five life guards will be on duty to ensure the safety of swimmers from 06h00 to 19h00 each day. Patrons are urged to swim between the beacons and listen to the lifeguards at all times.
To prepare for the high numbers of visitors to our beaches, wrist bands have been procured, which all children will have to wear when entering the beachfront area. These wristbands contain the details of their guardians in the event that a child is separated from their guardian. 28 child-minders have been employed to look after lost and separated children until such time that they are reunited with their parents or guardians.
Approximately 60 beach buddies will be situated at various beaches around our City and will be on hand to offer any type of assistance to the visitors. Additional seasonal lifeguards will be deployed at various beaches. All bathing beaches will be operational between 06h00 and 18h00 on a daily basis. In addition, 47 pool buddies will be placed at pools throughout the eThekwini region.
The Durban Solid Waste Unit has appointed 85 additional staff litter pickers and has placed additional litter bins in key areas with high volumes of visitors such as the beachfront. Three shifts will ensure that the City’s beachfront remains spotlessly clean over a 24 hour period.
Special teams are also in place to ensure that entertainment areas, such as Florida Road and Helen Joseph Roads are also kept free of litter. Staff will be out in full force in these areas from 06h00 to 22h00.
This year the City has embarked on an intensive marketing campaign to attract visitors from all over the world, with the overall message being, “Sunsational Durban, 100 % Pure Summer”. It is expected that approximately 1.3 million visitors will visit the City within the festive season period and enjoy a sunsational summer holiday.
The socio-economic impact over the festive season is estimated at R2.2 billion in direct spend, making a Gross Domestic Product contribution of R3.8 billion into the City’s economy. The City and the hospitality industry is looking forward to a thriving season ahead, with hotels anticipating an average of between 70 to 90 percent room occupancy across all accommodation facilities. Overall, the economic activity over this festive season is expected to sustain about 8 700 jobs.
Councillor Gumede, said that eThekwini has almost 100 kilometres of coastline and this is one of our greatest assets. The Municipality had invested thousands of rand into our scenic 7 kilometres beachfront promenade and other attractions in order to maintain, boost and drive Durban’s competitive edge in the tourism arena, while other beaches have remained natural and unspoilt.
She said: “Let me also remind visitors that our region is blessed to have a multitude of attractions, from the beaches to the Valley of a Thousand Hills, to pristine Inanda Dam for the adventure seeker to the Inanda Heritage route for those who wish to delve into the rich cultural diversity and history that our City enjoys. I urge you to visit each attraction and enjoy the City’s offering that makes it a world class City and an award winning tourist destination.”
Councillor Gumede urged visitors to take full advantage of the Municipality’s scenic views, world-class recreational facilities and entertainment.
“However, remember to so in a responsible manner so that you can take back all the good memories you have created in our City.” Hashtag: #DurbanSummer

Haven’t heard of or run across any P.R. boys here in Jamaica so guess I’m the only hometowner to hit this neck of the woods. (Ed. note: “There is a Stillwater boy name of McKay with you, Tom.”) Fruit is plentiful and do we boys ever go for the bananas, pineapples, cocoanuts, etc. The natives come through our camp every day selling them. It’s really remarkable the way the natives, especially the women, can carry almost any sized bundle, tray or basket, loaded down with fruit, on top of their heads with all the ease in the world.

- Jun/44, p.4 – (571626) Leese, R.V. Sgt. % Sergeants Mess RAF Angle Nr. Pembroke, South Wales “Just a few lines in appreciation of the Monthly News Letter. I surely do enjoy it. Somehow it makes Powell River seem about one of the best places on earth, and many are the times I’ve wished I could get back. It has just been my luck never to be able to get to the Reunions, but if the war lasts long enough, I daresay I’ll manage to squeeze one in. It would be swell seeing all the old faces! There will probably be loud shouts from some of my old friends when they learn that I was married six months ago…Ran into Jack Carruthers and Walter Patrick about a year ago, and hear from some of the boys now and then. But they never seem to get out to this part of the country.”

Unit RCAF Overseas (R-225551) “This is just to thank you for the continued steady arrival of the weekly Powell River News, and also to correct a mistake that seems to be causing the RAF no slight bother. My original service number was 5711626, but just lately I have been fortunate enough to get transferred to the RCAF and posted here to the above address. I have already written to inform the Powell River Company of my new whereabouts, but from the way my correspondence is arriving it would seem as if the letter has gone astray somewhere. The News is still just as interesting as ever and affords quite a lot of enjoyment. But reading between the lines Powell River seems to have changed greatly in the last eight years. The success of my transfer was very gratifying. According to all I can learn I should be back in Canada in August. And I can tell you I am really looking forward to it!”

Transgression (1931)
Proof That It’s Pre-Code:
Adultery, all day and all night. And someone even gets forgiven of it. Awww.
You can tell a lot about a reunion based on body language and intonation. “Oh, darling!” means one thing when you run towards someone for an embrace and another thing when you pause and look startled.
That exact scene happens in Transgression, a movie so born from the silent theatrical tradition that Kay Francis says at the start of the film, with a straight face, “I shall miss you so!”

Encounters with the Unexplained
Mean streets, long shadows, hot women and cool jazz are all a part of this series that was shot in a film noir atmosphere. Emmy and Grammy-winning music from Henry Mancini's dazzling jazz score is sensual, hypnotic and indelible. Blake Edwards created, produced and directed this highly successful, original private eye series for America's 1950's television, when style was everything.
Los Angeles' toughest detective is also a paragon of finesse and sex appeal in this Emmy-nominated series. This mystery adventure show stars Craig Stevens, Lola Albright and Herschel Bernardi.
Known as Pete to his friends, and as Gunn to his enemies, this detective conducted his high-pressure job in a calm, cool way. Peter Gunn receives tips and warnings from Lieutenant Jacoby, a coffee drinking friend that is a police officer. Also providing tips is "Mother," who owns nightclub that she named after herself. Pete's girlfriend Edie Hart works at the nightclub as a singer.
Duration: 114 x 30 min.

Senran Kagura: Bon Appetit Game Review
Bonjour.^^/
I decided to use some French Phrases here and there just for the sake of it. The title of this review did not influence my decision at all… honest!
WARNING: I MAY GIVE SPOILERS AWAY
This is my kind of game- light-hearted and fun.
This game is in the style of StepMania. I’m not too bad at StepMania but I can only do easy levels and perhaps the medium levels at a push. I can listen to the beat and react but it appears that my fingers don’t have that kind of rhythm. Haha. I’m not too bad at waltz or ballroom and I am in time with the beat but I’m not so good when it comes to getting into the rhythm on the keyboards or console.
I laughed quite a lot at Hanzou’s [the character] introduction. He implied that the task was something serious but it turned out that he was just having a laugh.
I like how all the girls have their individual routes. My personal favourite is Ikaruga. I’ve completed her easy stage quite a few times and I just managed to complete her medium stage. I do like Yomi’s music though, I think out of all the personal music themes Yomi’s is probably my favourite. In character customisations you can change their appearance if you want. I didn’t change anything but I did add cat eats and tails as bonus accessories on both Yomi and Ikaruga. =) There is a lot of skin exposure as well, especially when they’re decorated with fruit and cream. Haha. They’re all really cute. =)
It came as a surprise to see Homura and co in the Crimson Squad. Last I checked they were part of the Hebi School Academy, but yet, it seems like Hebi School Academy have completely new students. I feel like I’ve missed something or something has happened and I haven’t seen yet. Perhaps it’s going to be revealed at the end of the 3DS game? Or perhaps it’s going to be revealed in Volume 3 of the manga?
I’m not the best gamer but I’m doing ok so far. I completed the routes of the girls from Hanzou academy and the Crimson Squad. I completed Yumi’s route and I think she’s very cute. All anime girls are cute really so the charm for me is about the personality and demeanour. So far I see I think Yumi is a lovely character. =) I’m not sure if I’ll earn any more trophies but I do know that I’m enjoying the game so it doesn’t matter. =)
Two Thumb’s-Up (My Rating System)
I’m just starting to play Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus. So far I’m probably enjoying it more than the 3DS version. I think it’s because I feel that there’s more to this version then the 3DS. Perhaps it’s because it’s more like a 3D platform like Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm and Alchemists of the Dusk Sky. Speaking of Alchemists of the Dusk Sky, I slightly lost motivation to play that for a while. I’m more or less playing the game now just to earn more trophies. That and I need to keep on reading long manuals on how to upgrade my armour and beat the Child of Disaster etc. Haha. I still like the music and watching Escha twirl. =)
I’m looking forward to the Alchemists of the Dusk Sea. I think that’s going to be a lot of fun to play. =)
Merci Beaucoup. ^^/
Ryan.

Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky Game Review
Ho, ho, ho.^^/
I got the Escha game for my birthday back in June but I didn’t play it straightaway. Within these past few months I decided to chill out and one day have a proper go at this game, and I got very addicted, I must say. I always wanted to have a game where it is proper anime related. Escha and Logy is part of the Atelier game series, and the anime also aired at the same time as this game release.
This is the first time that I’m going to give a full account of a game. Instead of trying to tick the rights boxes for a “review” I’m just going to go on one of those typical banters that I enjoy so much. =D
I played Escha’s route for the first time which resulted in a bad ending. I played Escha’s route again with more experience under my bet…got another bad ending! I tried Escha’s route for the third time and got a good ending! Wohoo! I chose the ending, “So hungry…”.
I like the story and gameplay of this. I enjoyed synthesizing items whilst playing as Escha. She synthesized items like bombs, accessories, potions, food, healing items and windmill parts. She is the traditional alchemist, whereas Logy is the modern type alchemist. He synthesizes weapons and armour. I found synthesizing to be fairly easy. It took time to get used to but I found it fairly simple once I got used to it. To me, it’s all about applying the correct ingredients and using the correct elements for creating an item. It may not make any sense, but I know what I’m talking about. Haha!
The fighting is very good as well. You can’t exactly pause during the battles but during each fighter’s turn, I find, you can take your time to decide your next move. It’s fast paced and you can gauge up support attacks depending on your success of moves. There is also an addition special attack called “Double Draw” which can only be achieved once Escha and Logy become closer in their friendship.
The characters are all good too and all have their own unique story routes. They all have funky style of clothes. I especially like Escha’s style. She is impeccably cute. I love her puppy eyes, pink hair and her fluffy tail. Plus, she is voiced by Rie Murakawa, who voices Hotarun from Non Non Biyori! That alone makes her my favourite character of the Atelier franchise, haha. But even without that fact, she is still probably my favourite character. Her voice matches her appearance and personality, full of enthusiasm and somewhat childish innocence. Ironically, Hotarun is voiced more mature then Escha and she [Hotarun] is in the fifth grade.
All the girls are cute, Wilbell, Linca and Marion especially, but I have to say that Threia is drop dead, hubba, hubba, gorgeous. I’m happy to be her assistant anytime. 😉
It’s cool that they showed the animated scenes, especially the clips when they showed Escha and co travelling to the Unexplored Ruins. They would also show picture clips every now and then. My favourite ones tend to involve Escha and Linca. Linca is mightily powerful but is very shy when it comes to socialising with others, and I feel that the illustrations really show that.
Ahem, back to the gameplay…
I’m just genuinely enjoying this game. What I figured out is that buffing up your equipment and weapons is more important than the fighter’s level. I was able to beat that Altegewalt but I couldn’t knock off Dreadnaught or the Child of Disaster. I figured out that my equipment were more immune to the dragon’s attacks but not immune to the other two. I got up to level 67 but didn’t have the best armour and weapon etc. I did manage to strengthen my attacking and healing weapons though. =)
I’m doing this for the fourth time so I can get another ending with Escha since she has several endings routes. I should probably start with Logy…but I decided not to. I like Escha much, much more. Haha. In all seriousness, I made plenty of mistakes but I’m much wiser for it. It’s all about buffing up your battle items, your weapons, and your battle wear. It also helps if you chose the strongest foe when you go out to fight. And, if you’re short on items just get those cute creatures, the Homonculi, to create exact replicas…it has saved me bundles of trouble. =)
For me, I enjoy the little things about this game. I enjoy listening to the music, looking at the scenes and listening to the characters. Sometimes, I would just sit down and watch Escha. When she’s not active she would twirl and sway from side to side. I find that cute to watch. I especially like it how she exclaims “BARREL!” in Japanese. The music is tranquil to listen to, almost as tranquil as the soundtrack from Non Non Biyori. =)
It sort of came to the point of where I could just play this game all the time, hence why I’m starting again. If you complete one route you can start again but the information from completing one game will carry over. Will this be a game over? Or will I be able to clear this route successfully? Only one way to find out, start playing! =D
I give this game, Two Thumbs-Up.^^/ (My Rating System)
When it comes to reviewing games I got it in my head that I was going to review Senran Kagura Burst and Super Mario first. However, since I’m playing Escha I figured that it only made sense to review it whilst I’m in the zone of playing it. =)
Thanks for reading. =)
Happy Christmas.^^/

Home Volume 41 [2006–07] Volume 41 Number 46 The poison in your sofa
The poison in your sofa
OPINION If your sofa was purchased in California after 1975, chances are its interior foam and cushions contain either brominated or chlorinated fire retardants. These toxic chemicals have been shown to cause cancer, reproductive problems, learning disabilities, and thyroid disease in laboratory animals and house cats. At the same time, these chemicals are climbing the food chain in increasing concentrations and are found in fish, harbor seals in San Francisco Bay, polar bears, bird eggs, and the animal at the very top of the food chain — breast-fed human babies.
A little-known California regulation known as Technical Bulletin 117 requires that the polyurethane foam in furniture withstand an open flame for 12 seconds without catching fire. This 30-year-old regulation is well intended, and upholstered furniture fires are a serious concern. However, since 1975 no other jurisdiction in the world has followed California’s lead, and other states have achieved similar or greater reductions in fire-related deaths without this standard.
Because brominated and chlorinated fire retardants don’t react chemically with foam, their molecules have a tendency to attach to dust particles in furniture. Each time someone sits on a sofa cushion, the dust particles escape into the air and can be inhaled or settle on the floor, where toddlers and house cats live and play.
These fire-retardant molecules mimic thyroid hormone, which in pregnant women regulates the sex and brain development of the unborn child. This mimicking is called endocrine disruption, and brominated and chlorinated fire retardants in even infinitesimal amounts can cause harm to human and animal health through this process.
Many national furniture manufacturers distribute only California-compliant furniture, which means that up to 10 percent by weight of foam cushions are composed of toxic chemicals. California’s standard is poisoning the whole nation, one sofa at a time.
The good news is that there are safer chemical and construction-based alternatives already in the marketplace that can provide an equivalent level of fire safety without the use of brominated and chlorinated fire retardants. The institutional-furniture industry and the mattress industry already comply with tough fire standards and do so without the use of these toxic chemicals.
Residential-furniture manufacturers could do so as well, except that state law and TB 117 prevent it. That’s why I have authored Assembly Bill 706, which would modify our outdated foam test. A modern residential-furniture standard, such as the one developed in California for mattresses, should address how the various components of furniture can together achieve equal or better fire safety without using the most toxic fire retardants.
AB 706 would establish a comprehensive process for weighing the issues of fire safety and chemical exposures. It would rightly rest the responsibility for assessing toxicity with state toxicologists, require the fire-retardant industry to prove that its products are safe, and leave the final decision on whether to prohibit a particular chemical to the state’s fire-safety scientists.
Soon the decision of whether California will continue to poison our kids and the rest of the nation will be made by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Thus far, state agencies have been directed from the top to oppose AB 706. The question for Gov. Schwarzenegger is, how loudly must our babies cry before toxic, cancer-causing, endocrine-disrupting chemicals are removed from our furniture?<\!s>*

Following more than three centuries under Portuguese rule, Brazil gained its independence in 1822, maintaining a monarchical system of government until the abolition of slavery in 1888 and the subsequent proclamation of a republic by the military in 1889. Brazilian coffee exporters politically dominated the country until populist leader Getulio VARGAS rose to power in 1930. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil underwent more than a half century of populist and military government until 1985, when the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Having successfully weathered a period of global financial difficulty in the late 20th century, Brazil was seen as one of the world's strongest emerging markets and a contributor to global growth. The awarding of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the first ever to be held in South America, was seen as symbolic of the country's rise. However, from about 2013 to 2016, Brazil was plagued by a sagging economy, high unemployment, and high inflation, only emerging from recession in 2017. Former President Dilma ROUSSEFF (2011-2016) was removed from office in 2016 by Congress for having committed impeachable acts against Brazil's budgetary laws, and her vice president, Michel TEMER, served the remainder of her second term. In October 2018, Jair BOLSONARO won the presidency with 55 percent of the vote and assumed office on 1 January 2019.

Brazil is the eighth-largest economy in the world, but is recovering from a recession in 2015 and 2016 that ranks as the worst in the country’s history. In 2017, Brazil`s GDP grew 1%, inflation fell to historic lows of 2.9%, and the Central Bank lowered benchmark interest rates from 13.75% in 2016 to 7%. The economy has been negatively affected by multiple corruption scandals involving private companies and government officials, including the impeachment and conviction of Former President Dilma ROUSSEFF in August 2016. Sanctions against the firms involved — some of the largest in Brazil — have limited their business opportunities, producing a ripple effect on associated businesses and contractors but creating opportunities for foreign companies to step into what had been a closed market. The succeeding TEMER administration has implemented a series of fiscal and structural reforms to restore credibility to government finances. Congress approved legislation in December 2016 to cap public spending. Government spending growth had pushed public debt to 73.7% of GDP at the end of 2017, up from over 50% in 2012. The government also boosted infrastructure projects, such as oil and natural gas auctions, in part to raise revenues. Other economic reforms, proposed in 2016, aim to reduce barriers to foreign investment, and to improve labor conditions. Policies to strengthen Brazil’s workforce and industrial sector, such as local content requirements, have boosted employment, but at the expense of investment. Brazil is a member of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur), a trade bloc that includes Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay - Venezuela’s membership in the organization was suspended In August 2017. After the Asian and Russian financial crises, Mercosur adopted a protectionist stance to guard against exposure to volatile foreign markets and it currently is negotiating Free Trade Agreements with the European Union and Canada.

Team One and Saatchi LA Host New Directors’ Showcase Event 16 Jul 2014
West coast leg of the NDS road show takes place at the Ace Hotel in downtown LA.
Los Angeles – Team One and Saatchi & Saatchi LA host the Los Angeles edition of the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase (NDS) at The Ace Hotel in downtown LA on Wednesday, July 16. The popular event kicked off at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and will continue on as a global road show in select cities. Screenings in Milan and London occurred in the beginning of July. Future events include the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) in New York on Thursday, July 17, and Shanghai Center Theater on Tuesday, October 21. For more information on the LA Showcase, please visit http://ndsla14.eventbrite.com.
Now in the 24th edition, the annual Saatchi & Saatchi NDS has carved out a reputation for acting as a barometer of who are the hot directors to watch, and provides young talent the opportunity to debut on a global platform through the NDS event in Cannes. Saatchi & Saatchi’s Worldwide Creative Board, of which Team One’s Chief Creative Officer Chris Graves is a member, invites directors from around the world to submit for NDS consideration. The final 2014 selection included 19 films by 18 directors.
This year the reel features a typically eclectic mix of music videos, animated shorts, humor, erotica, surrealism and the grotesque. Directors featured in the 2014 Showcase come from Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Switzerland, the UK and the US. Alumni from previous installments of the NDS include Spike Jonze, Jonathan Glazer, Tarsem, Michel Gondry and Jason Reitman.
The Los Angeles screening of the 2014 NDS in the Ace Hotel will be introduced by a short film of the live NDS ‘Feel the Reel’ event in Cannes on June 19, 2014. After the screening of the Showcase reel, a panel discussion will follow featuring famed director and NDS alumni Jason Reitman, and three of this year’s NDS director finalists including Tarik Abdel-Gawad with “Box,” and Ian & Cooper with ”Joel Compass ‘Back To Me.’” The discussion will be moderated by Michael Sagol, Executive Producer at Caviar Content. A before-and-after reception will accompany the screening and panel discussion. Please follow along to the LA event with #NDSLA14, and globally with #feelthereel.
Chris Graves, Chief Creative Officer at Team One and member of Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide Creative Board said, "I love selecting the finalists for The New Directors’ Showcase every year, and now to be able to bring a piece of the Cannes Lions Festival home to LA is an additional honor.

More Information about New Directors’ Showcase:
The Showcase reel was curated by Andy Gulliman, Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide Film and Content Director, who added: “We want to be introduced to a new generation with a fresh approach and attitude. We want to find young talent that can manage a traditional format and stand out from the crowd. We want to give great work great exposure.”
Saatchi & Saatchi creatives Linda Weitgasser & Alexandra Sattlecker the theme of this year’s NDS - ‘Feel the Reel.’ ‘Feel the Reel’ makes the Showreel the hero of the NDS this year. Weitgasser and Sattlecker partnered with Juliette Larthe of PRETTYBIRD who brought together Studio XO, Marshmallow Laser Feast, and Berlin collective Elektropastete to create the innovative ‘Feel the Reel’ experience in Cannes. During the Cannes NDS event the audience wore Sensory wristbands developed by Studio XO (Nancy Tilbury and Benjamin Males), which monitored their emotional engagement with the Showreel of Directors, using XOX a new wearable emotional sensor platform from the team at Studio XO.
The emotional data was captured from the wristbands and projected at the audience through data visualized by Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) and Electropastete on screens around the Showreel. PRETTYBIRD’s Juliette Larthe was Executive Producer of the 2014 NDS event in Cannes, and has worked on the event with Saatchi & Saatchi since 2011 when she first introduced MLF to choreograph the live shows in Cannes. MLF have acted as Creative Directors or the NDS Cannes event since 2011.
The ‘Feel the Reel’ identity and logo were created by Farrow, and the soundscape created specially for the event was composed by Finn McNicholas. The live show in Cannes was co-directed by Studio XO and MLF, with creative direction from Robin McNicholas and Barney Steel of MLF. MLF computational design was by Raffael Ziegler and Max Mittermeier, with motion graphic artists Ersin Han Ersin and Mike Tombeur.

Virender Sehwag's Doppelganger Spotted In India Vs Bangladesh Semi-Finals At Birmingham
Rachel Hardy | Saturday, June 17, 2017
Amit Shah paid his respects to Chhatrapati Shivaji’s statue at Shivaji Park. Pradip Das
7 - India's biggest margin of victory against Pakistan has been 7-4, at both the Champions Trophy in 2003 and the Commonwealth Games in 2010, while Pakistan's biggest win has been 7-1 at the Champions Trophy in 1980 and the Asian Games in 1982.
"I think if you get Pakistan chasing in the final, anything above 280, you would be happy. With our runs and that wicket, we knew it was very hard for our bowlers, but still I think we were nowhere near our best today, especially in our bowling and fielding".
"When you go to a final, you want your experienced player, you want him to be fully fit and participating on that particular day", Mahmood said. If asked, I will say that the prayers of the fans and God have won them the games. They have been brought to the final due to external factors and not based on on-field performance.
"If we focus on our skills and our abilities and believe in ourselves, we'll give ourselves a chance to do some good things for the team". We all are well aware of everyone's calibre. "We should take a break and then sit together to decide the future course of action", concluded the champion all-rounder. If you do something correct, we will appreciate you.
For all that India's margin of victory was greater, Pakistan's last-four success was arguably even more impressive given they bowled England out for just 211.
Pakistan had started their campaign on a disastrous note with a 124-run defeat to arch-rivals India, but consecutive wins over Sri Lanka and formidable South Africa in the rest of their matches in Group B saw them qualify for the semi-finals. "Yes I agree Pakistan committed a lot of mistakes and Sarfraz was also under enormous pressure but it was his very first match as captain of the national team against India and it was quite obvious he took lot of stick for that one mistake".
"We played some really good cricket. If England were the finalists against India, the team would have found it hard to overcome them".
"What we are going to try to do is repeat the similar sort of cricket that we have played so far, knowing the strengths and weaknesses they have", Kohli said.
The last time these two nations played in a knock-out fixture - the 2011 World Cup semi-final at Mohali - a reported 988 million viewers tuned in.
India are favourites to retain the Champions Trophy on Sunday but they would probably have preferred to face different opponents than Pakistan in what is sure to be a highly-charged final.

Pyramid Flare is a work by Johann Lurf, commissioned by Sonic Acts for Vertical Cinema (2013). Among the most mysterious man-made structures ever built, the pyramids still challenge scholars and provoke pseudo-scientific theories. Most architects have abandoned the idea of recreating a pyramid in modern times: first of all, it isn’t efficient as a building, and secondly, any content that might be assigned to it could hardly ever counteract its grandeur and ambition. So one could rightfully ask: Why build one today? Pyramid Flare is the second in a series of experimental films about modern pyramids all over the globe. It was filmed in Prague and documents a pyramid-shaped building that is now mostly used as musical theatre. Filmed with a 35 mm camera turned on its side, Pyramid Flare is a five-minute exploration of basic cinematic elements – film formats, structure, movement, time. The ‘pyramid series’ plays with these notions, each film takes a different approach to modern pyramid structures, and they all document the pyramid over the course of 24 hours. Structure is one of the keywords of the project, pointing to the mathematical structure of the pyramid and to the filmmaker’s approach to filming it. In Pyramid Flare the camera changes position every 20 minutes to capture the pyramid and the sun hovering above. It slowly circles the building, searching for the angles that keep the pyramid in the centre of the frame. Indeed, this conversation directs the film, leaving the director and his subjective point of view ‘out of the picture’.

Flying and Dying - (Part Four)
September 25th, 2007 | Category: Flying and Dying
Flying and Dying in Synchronicity
I was sitting in the aircraft, en- route from Houston to Blighty, reading a book I had bought just before I boarded the plane, when I realized that I was not only flying over the exact locations mentioned by the author, but also at the precise moment I was reading about them!
Huston via Hartford and Maine to England
My fears about flying had receded somewhat since the sad event of the Phuket air disaster - I was after all, going home to England and not to Hartford; what I didn’t at first realize, was that my flight-path went directly from Houston diagonally to the right, toward Hartford and Maine, before turning directly right toward home.
The book “Here if you Need Me” a true story by Kate Braestrup, was immediately totally absorbing. Around ten years ago, Kate’s husband Drew, a Maine state trouper was killed by an out-of-control, oncoming driver. This tragedy caused Kate to re-examine her life and take on the future path her husband had chosen, which was to become a chaplain with the Maine Warden Service. This caused Kate to take up the studies her husband had decided to embark upon. She is now one of the first chaplains ever appointed to the Maine Warden Service.
I felt an immediate empathy with Kate’s need to care, wash and see her deceased husband right through to his cremation and to the final scattering of his ashes, by the lighthouse in Port Clyde. Then it struck me with a shock that I was reading about Port Clyde at the exact moment I was flying over it!
I had paused in my reading and had switched the video monitor screen to a map of the flightpath we were taking. Frankly up to that moment I had only a hazy idea of where Houston was (extreme left pin) and I certainly didn’t know that Hartford was on route (second pin to the right) but the real shock came when I realized that I was thinking about how I scattered Christina’s ashes along the Durham river banks and how I stripped off in front of folk (who didn’t seem to notice) and swam to the middle of the River Wear, before letting the urn sink to the bottom, at the precise moment my plane flew over Port Clyde. (third pin)
I then realized that I was doing what the spirit-ball in my prophetic dream had asked: “Have you checked your route to Hartford?”
I read the book from cover to cover throughout the flight. Kate is a Universalist Unitarian minister, with a natural view of spirituality that resonates with the North American Indian and also the English Pagan/Druid ‘Old’ religious ways. She talks of honouring the dead by lining simple graves with flowers and by building mounds of stone to both commemorate them and also to keep contact through the active process of digging, tending and building. Kate’s spirituality goes beyond the tramlines of accepted religious practice, to an instinctive understanding of “The All”.
I have seldom felt such an affinity with a writer’s beliefs. If this was ‘the prophecy’ then all my fears about my journey were mistaken. Was it just by chance that I had picked up the book at the airport shop? (I have never bought a book in an airport to read on a flight before). Was it the spirit of Kate’s husband guiding me? Was it the spirit of my mother nudging me on?.. Or was it just chance?
I think that once a person decides to ‘tune into’ the spiritual dimension, the spiritual dimension then reciprocates and begins to reach toward them. All that is then really needed is ‘acceptance’. It seems to be an active/passive process that is easily dispersed by intellectual resistance. “Want” and then “Accept” and then “Wait” seems to have been the process I have gone through and through which I still pass. I do not feel that the messages I receive should be of any great importance. It is enough that I now feel that I walk with my ancestors; that I am part of a process of Love that is passed on from generation to generation.
One thing intrigues me a little is a story near the end of the book: A young women left her dorm’ room at St. Mary’s College in Waterford Maine, planning to drive to Portland for a dental appointment and then to meet her mother for lunch…She was murdered as she crossed the campus car park. It did not escape me that the young woman’s name was Christina and that the surname of the detective who solved the murder was Love.
For me it is now like a living conversation. Events both simple and significant are offered to me, rather like in normal family life, where the stories of the day are related over dinner; for me to place any great meaning on them, would be to court sensationalism and self-importance.
It is enough that they happen and that I recognize them for what they are.
I have now returned to the US and I’m writing this from Hartford. The weather is warm and sunny, like a wonderful Summer day in England - But the next journey from England to Hartford would prove to test me to the limit…

Flying and Dying (part three)
prophetic dreams View blog top tags Technorati Profile
……I awoke the following morning with the words “air disaster” ringing in my ears – I had left the TV on – a bad habit of mine. The air crash had killed 89 of the 130 persons listed onboard; the plane had skidded off the runway and had broken into two, before bursting into flame at Phuket International Airport during a landing attempt in a monsoon.
Now get this: the emotion I felt at that instant was that of relief – followed a moment later by the guilt of knowing that I had thought of myself first – before thinking of the passengers who had perished. This initial reaction was the same as the man in the story of Death (previous entry – part two) and how he blundered and stumbled back to his house, without a thought for the others he was bumping into and possibly hurting through his selfish panic.
But I was relieved as I reasoned that the air-disaster must have been the cause of my feelings of foreboding the previous night. The fact that I was due to travel back to England the next day had given the bad news a veneer of good news. I’m really sorry about this.
Is death good or bad news only when put in relationship with it’s hearer?
So that might have been the end of the story – except for an extraordinary series of linked events that happened to me during the flight home…
(to be continued in a day or so…)
And now for a favourite poem
Life is an old man carrying flowers on his head.
Young death sits in a café
smiling, a piece of money held between
his thumb and first finger
(i say “will he buy flowers” to you
and “Death is young
life wears velour trousers
life totters, life has a beard” i
say to you who are silent.- “Do you see
Life? he is there and here,
or that, or this
or nothing, or an old man 3 thirds
asleep, on his head
flowers, always crying
to nobody something about les
roses les bluets
will He buy?
Les belles bottes – oh hear
, pas cheres”)
and my love slowly answered I think so. But
I think I see someone else
there is a lady, whose name is Afterwards
she is sitting beside young death, is slender;
likes flowers

Flying and Dying ~Vivid Dreams and Premonitions (1)
Flying and Dying.
I am susceptible to vivid dreams, visions and premonitions, especially when I’m tired and stressed-out. I also have a fear of flying…
You might therefore think that I’m tempting fate with a title like “Flying and Dying”, especially as I’m currently at somewhere between 30 and 40,000 feet over central America, on my way back from Houston-upon-Hell, to the green countryside of Warwickshire - and to my favourite oak tree. And even if the flight arrives safely, will I be extinguished in the coach taking me from Gatwick to Heathrow? And even if I reach the long-term car park and actually find my car, will I perish on the motorway? And upon arriving home, will I die of a heart attack brought on by all the worry about dying?
So why all this speculation about death?
Well, the night before last, I had a vivid dream, which woke me in the wee small hours and kept me from returning to peaceful slumber for a long while…
David and I were standing in a dimly lit octagonal-shaped room; on the floor was a white ball that kept rolling about and changing direction of its own accord. I remember feeling excited and ‘knowing’ that a spirit presence was moving the ball. David then remarked that he could see the shape of a person start to materialize. I looked and I could make out a dim smoky outline. I then recall approaching the ball and picking it up and finding it had an internal energy, like a gyroscope that resists a change of direction, or a bit like the plastic hamster exercise ball that Polo my pet hamster used to love whizzing around the house in and which my mam, in her last days, used to rescue from the deep groove leading into the cupboard below the stairs, where it used to get trapped…. suddenly David and I were standing at Victoria Station in London and the American actors and performers were all there with us. I was delighted to show them how the ball moved by itself when I put it down and they all agreed that it was proof that a spirit or some supernatural force was moving the sphere. When I picked it up however, it changed into a face - a sad face. “Have you checked your flight to Dartford” was all it said.
Life has been very hectic the last few days and I have been gradually sleeping and eating less as my work-pace and stress levels have risen. Mystic and psychic people over the ages have functioned at a higher sensitivity when their bodies and minds are pushed beyond normal limits, when they find themselves in extreme situations. I find my developing abilities increase substantially under extreme ‘load’ – my various neuroses also increase however, together with what seem to be hallucinations – so I am always careful to make and place interpretations on my dreams and visions, later when I am rested.
The next episode follows in around 24 hours…..(I’ve just got to catch up on sleep as I’m going to King’s Lynn near Norwich tomorrow)…and involves a tight weave of co-incidental and highly improbably events that point firmly to the existence of pre-ordination.
It’s good to be home

Sunday 9th September ~ Houston Vanilla
September 09th, 2007 | Category: Spiritual Travels
Houston Vanilla
Around five weeks ago, Shirley, a spiritualist minister at our church, took me to one side and predicted that I would ‘see’ a North American Indian during my US travels. “…but only you will see…other people will not notice” she said finally.
Now the memory of that conversation has stayed with me since that time. I certainly didn’t see one during my stay in New York – but then I didn’t expect to see one in the frothy metropolis of Times Square. Nevertheless I know enough to expect the unexpected and think and hope that have learnt enough to never second-guess life, so I tucked the prediction away in a corner of my mind, like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle, promising not to force it into the developing picture of my American travels, unless I found a space into which it fitted…
…The sky clicks, like a jigsaw piece, into the angular Houston architecture. At first I found it alienating and memories of England and especially my home town of Durham City came crowding in, producing the all-too familiar knot of homesickness that I always feel low in my throat when I am in unfamiliar surroundings.
Are people the picture within a frame of their environment? I have always thought that the frame that surrounded me in my growing years, has helped to form and produce the individual that I am. The frame of my city; the frame of my friends and the frame of my parents have all contributed to the entity that is now ‘me’. Opening my hotel curtains on my first morning revealed a frame into which I thought I did not fit and which, almost at once, brought on the familiar pangs in my gullet…
…not only that, but the humidity was such that it seemed difficult to draw oxygen from the hot air – perhaps one day in the far future, Housteners will develop gills to augment their lungs - People walk slowly in Houston to avoid evaporating.
After a space-shuttle descent, by lift, from my room on the 26th floor, I set out into the futuristic glass, concrete and metal world. Maybe because I needed to pull myself into focus, I searched out the centre of town, only to discover no real axis but several; some of them I know I have yet to identify.
My first walk down the angular streets soon became intimidating; the vertical buildings join the sidewalk at a set-square angle. I progressed like an ant, along the grid-formed streets; right-turn, left-turn…lost…
…then I found Main Street.
Main Street looks like all the other rectangular passageways, except for the local general-store. I gratefully retreated into a semi-shoddy conglomerate of £store cheapness, KFC chicken (and sausage-on-a-stick North-East English ‘Chippy-Dinge’) The higgledy-piggledy contents of nylon socks, shampoo, batteries, unfamiliar tobacco, sweatshirt, children’s games, and general-store paraphernalia rested my eyes from the hospital corridor sidewalks. After browsing for a while, I bought a ham sandwich and a packet of Bugler tobacco (!) And set out again into Houston’s geometric streets.
Passing the Dolphin Fountains on Main I felt the first spats of the storm that was about to lash space-town. At first I thought I had caught spray from the leaping jets, but the drops of water that spoilt my first half-rolled cigarette, caused me to look up.
The sky had become a vanilla and ice-cream soda float, pouring into the spaces between the angular buildings, where dimensions of vertical and horizontal became indistinguishable, lurid and blurred in the down-pour that hit like a forearm smash and drenched me in a steaming melting-pot of warm rain.
At that moment I was baptised into the raw spirit of Houston, where the peach like vulnerability of flesh is at mercy from its own artificial creation; where heritage is ripped down for the new and history dies at the end of the present moment.
Houston is the Savage Rose.
Sunday 2nd September ~ ‘Twas the Night before Houston
September 02nd, 2007 | Category: Spiritual Travels
‘Twas the Night before Houston…
Ninth Avenue from the Top of the Hudson Hotel
…and I was lying on a recliner, right on the top of the Hudson Hotel in New York. It had been the last day of rehearsals for the “Whistle” company, before we all move to Houston tomorrow.
Click above for Japanese translation
You will appreciate that I cannot “blog” about what goes on in rehearsals; to do that would be the equivalent of a doctor, publishing details of your private visit – but what I feel I can say, is that this is one of the most special companies I have worked with, during my rather long career (42yrs). Perhaps one day, when I have long retired from this strange volatile profession, I will include in my theatrical reminiscences, stories of the moments that the vulnerable people I work with have encountered. We have many young members in our company; the youngest is around 8 yrs of age and the oldest member has reached the bridge of the half-century, but they all share the innocence of early childhood – an innocence and openness that is essential, in my opinion, for every performer.
Children remembered
But only a few
And down they forgot
As up they grew…
ee. cummings
All I feel I can say is that yesterdays final “run-through” before we move to Houston “we have a problem” (‘course we don’t – it’s just a phrase that makes people smile), astounded me. Frankly I thought it was Fantastic.
There was one moment, which was rather spiritual. Everything was prepared and so I decided to do something that I have never done before the production is on the stage in the technical rehearsals – I decided to set the final curtain-calls (the bows). Suddenly my mind went blank and I seemed to be stopped by an unseen hand. “Sorry I can’t do it” I said. Many company members then reminded me about the theatre superstition of planning curtain-calls in the rehearsal room. They and I felt it was a good omen – or “Spooky” as one company member remarked…
After the company left to prepare their private lives for the move and also for the forthcoming tour of the mid-west, I sat in the empty rehearsal room and felt the echo of the vibrations of the last two weeks; emotions do leave an imprint after the ‘emotioners’ have gone. To me it’s like a silent buzz; a sort of vibrating static that makes the air slightly viscous and treacly-fluid – I love it.
Finally leaving the Chelsea studios on W26th street (between 6th and 7th avenues, leading to Broadway) I experienced the usual ‘come-down’ to Normality (whatever that is) and hailed a yellow cab to the Hudson Hotel…
In the evening I visited “Whims” the fantastic restaurant that David and I found a couple of weeks ago and had my final New York meal. It was delicious.
Five Spiced Duck Breast
With fingerling potatoes
Sautéed Bok choy
And a Red Wine Raspberry Reduction.
Have you ever had a meal which is so delicious that you just have to go so slowly and savour each little taste?
The meal was served by a bright attractive and very friendly waitress called Rachael Lee. Rachael hailes from Oklahoma and we chatted about my impending move to Houston. Americans really know about good service and Rachael is no exception. I wish her well with her future and with her future plans, whatever they may be. Thanks Rach’
I’m sitting in my hotel room, finishing this short entry, before taking a taxi to the airport in a couple of hours…
(from Houston!)
I apologise for the lack of definition in recent photos. I forgot to pack my camera when I left for the States, so therefore all photos are from my camera-phone.(I’m actually a little surprised at how good they are)

Everton hero Howard part-owner in Dagenham & Redbridge FCby Paul Vegas17 days agoSend to a friendShare the loveFormer Everton and Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard is part-owner of Dagenham & Redbridge FC.Howard, 40, who made 414 appearances for the Blues across a decade-long stint between 2006-16 – more than any other player from outside the British Isles – played the final game of his professional career on Sunday in Colorado Rapids’ 3-1 defeat to Los Angeles.With his playing days now over, Howard looks poised to be casting his eyes back across the Atlantic on a more regular basis to National League club Dagenham & Redbridge where he has been part of their US-based Trinity Sports Holdings ownership team for the past year, says the Liverpool Echo.The club, who were only formed in 1992 after a merger between Dagenham FC and Redbridge Forest, spent nine years in the Football League between 2007-16 but are currently in the National League and finished 18 out of the 24 clubs in the division last season.

More booboos
There really is a problem with this government under Noynoy. It jumps to conclusions much too easily, then later, with a rotten egg on its face, the same government quickly changes its tune, but not before causing diplomatic ties to deteriorate.
In the case of Jordanian journalist Baker Atyani and his two Filipino crew, for over a week, Noynoy, his aides, Jesse Robredo, his military and police along with the Sulu Gov. Sakur Tan, insisted that he was neither missing nor abducted by the Abu Sayyaf, while announcing that Atyani is an Abu Sayyaf conduit and that no rescue operations would be launched.
Where they based their conclusion that Atyani is in cahoots with the terrorist group is, as claimed by Noynoy and his aides, due to the fact that Atyani had been to the country at least three times and interviewed the Abu Sayyaf, plus the fact that that he had interviewed Osama bin Laden before the US Seals assassinated the former al-Qaeda leader.
Naturally, after the Jordanian government, through its foreign ministry, confirmed that its national had been kidnapped by the terrorist group, Noynoy and his aides suddenly admitted that Atyani and his crew have been kidnapped, but in trying to save face, they insisted that the journalist went there voluntarily. What crap they spew. Why would a journalist tell, or even ask the government for permission to interview the Abu Sayyaf?.... MORE

Now is Noynoy’s chance to play hardball with China now that a Filipino fisherman has died after a fishing boat was supposedly rammed by what the Filipino boat crew identified as Chinese in an incident that happened very close to Scarborough Shoal where a standoff ensued between Philippine and Chinese vessels over rival territorial claims.
The incident happened well within Philippine territory, off Bolinao, Pangasinan, where there was no reason for a Chinese vessel to be present in the area, much more for it to ram a Filipino vessel.
It seems that without American imprimatur, Noynoy cannot act on his own in defending the country’s boundaries.
The standoff at Scarborough Shoal happened shortly after Noynoy received the Philippine Navy’s first decent warship for ages, a decommissioned cutter of the US Coast Guard, which was named BRP Gregorio del Pilar. As soon as the cutter arrived in the country, it sailed off to the disputed shoal to supposedly arrest Chinese fishermen who have long been using the shoal along with their Filipino counterparts without any trouble.
The sudden appearance of a Navy warship in the disputed area touched off heated diplomatic exchanges between the Philippines and China, with both sides maintaining the presence of government-owned vessels in the area..... MORE

Moody's cuts ratings of 28 Spanish banks
Ratings agency Moody's has cut the ratings of 28 Spanish banks following a June 13 downgrade of Spain's sovereign rating by three notches.
The banks' long-term debt and deposit ratings have been downgraded by one to four notches. The rating of Bankia, one the country’s largest banks, has been cut to junk status.
Moody’s cited two main factors behind the move: the agency’s assessment of Spain's reduced creditworthiness, and an “expectation that the banks' exposures to commercial real estate (CRE) will likely cause higher losses, which might increase the likelihood that these banks will require external support.”....

Joseph Estrada, on Dolphy
President Erap’s daughter Jackie Ejercito and husband Beaver Lopez hosted our lunch get-together in their new house last Sunday. We were told the next mayor of Manila would be a little late owing to the mass at San Juan, for it was also “Araw ng San Juan”. Soon enough he was jauntily walking in, attired in trademark orange polo shirt, and matching orange Converse rubber shoes.
And then it was lunch.
Talk naturally drifted to Dolphy, for even those who barely knew him wanted to know how he was doing. Someone volunteered overhearing that Eddie Garcia was not keen on seeing his fellow Sampaguita Pictures contract actor on the sickbed, although later on in the day Garcia ended up dropping by to see the well-loved comedian at the Intensive Care Unit, after the healing mass at the hospital.
“I didn’t want to see Dolphy bed-ridden, too.” Erap said. “But I visited him to stop malicious talk that I didn’t care what was happening to him, kasi raw galit ako at him dahil nag-Villar siya in 2010. That’s not true. Of course I care about him. Puwede bang hindi, e maski matanda siya sa akin, kami halos ang magkakapanahon niyan sa industry. Iba ang pulitika, iba ang long-standing friendship. Mahal ko si Dolphy, tapos.”.... MORE
‘Red International’ splits AN OUTSIDERS VIEW Ken Fuller 06/27/2012
‘Red International’ splits
Two weeks ago, in the first part of this account, we identified three kinds of splits in the labor movement — the party-political split, the split influenced by employers, and the split engineered by government. Last week, there was the split caused by labor-leader paternalism, or the desire to escape it — for the TUPAS-FSM split might be seen as an example of this. (At the lower levels of the movement there must have been countless undocumented examples of this kind of split over the years, along with those caused by personality differences and the careerism of leaders.)
We might also add that while not necessarily causing splits, foreign funding like that advanced by the Asian-American Free Labor Institute has acted as a means of fencing off conservative organizations from their more progressive brethren. And finally, we have the example of the post-1993 splits, which we might dub the “Red International” type of split. This requires some explanation.
Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, a number of communist-led organizations were established on an international level with the aim of gaining influence in the labor and peasant movements. One such organization was the Red International of Labor Unions (RILU), established in 1921. As the international communist movement entered its most sectarian period (characterized by the slogan “class against class”), the RILU saw the aim of communists as attempting to win the support of the labor movement in their own country for the cause of revolution, and if the existing trade unions could not so be won, to establish “red alternatives.”....

Noynoy violates Charter, allows nuclear sub in RP By Mario J. Mallari 06/27/2012
Noynoy violates Charter, allows nuclear sub in RP
Apart from allowing armed foreign troops and bases into the country, on claims that the bases and American servicemen’s “visits” are temporary and on a “rotational’ basis despite the United States bases in Mindanao being virtually permanent, President Aquino has again violated the Constitution when it allowed another United States nuclear-powered vessel to enter Philippine territory.
The nuclear-powered submarine yesterday docked in Subic Bay for a supposed routine port call — the second such “visit” by US attack seacraft since the standoff between the Philippines and China over the disputed Scarborough Shoal erupted last April.
Article ll, Section 8 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, under State policies, mandated by the Filipino people, states that the “Philippines, consistent with the national interest, adopts and pursues a policy of freedom from nuclear weapons in its territory.”.... MORE

Palace warned vs SoVFA push as Aussie military faces abuse probe
Malacaang should be cautious in pushing the immediate ratification by the Senate of the proposed Status of Visiting Forces Agreement (SoVFA) with Australia amid news reports on record of numerous cases of physical and sexual abuse of minors, supposedly committed by members of the Australian armed forces.
An article that came out in the New York Times last June 15 said Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard raised the possibility of a high-level public inquiry or convening a royal commission, a major investigative body occasionally used by some countries of the Commonwealth, to investigate sensitive public issues.
The matter has come to the attention of Senators Gregorio Honasan and Joker Arroyo and both urged the Executive department to exercise caution before having the SoVFA rushed for plenary approval..... MORE

Disini firms up libel suit vs ex-CJ Panganiban
Having already been cleared from various Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) deal-related charges, businessman Herminio Disini has tightened the noose on the libel case he had filed against former Chief Justice-turned-columnist Artemio Panganiban for his repeated use of the phrase “go between” in reference to him in one of his column articles.
Included in the libel suit filed by Disini is the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
In his Reply-Affidavit to Respondents’ Counter-Affidavits last Friday, he said “Mr. Panganiban ascribed to me the commission of a crime, particularly corruption of a public official and violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, when he described me as Westinghouse’s ‘go between’ with, and a ‘close personal associate of former President Ferdinand Marcos.’”....

In a speech before administering the oath-taking of the Liberal Party’s newest members in Baguio City, President Aquino hinted that the financial capability of the present government to promptly deliver services and provide immediate help to its constituents gave it distinction from the previous administrations.

Miriam pushes RH bill to June brides
All newlyweds should consider it a moral duty to observe reproductive health during marriage, Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago said at a posh Cebu City wedding.
Santiago, as principal wedding sponsor and guest speaker last Saturday, exhorted a newly married couple to “follow the RH paradigm” at a five-star hotel wedding reception attended by some of the most prominent Cebu City families.
“Reproductive health is the new wave of the future. The critics are flaying a dead horse. To mix metaphors, the critics are missing the boat. In the 2013 elections, the voters will educate the non-educable,” said Santiago..... MORE
Makati City strengthens ban on synthetic packaging materials 06/27/2012
Makati City strengthens ban on synthetic packaging materials
The City of Makati will deploy 45 teams from the Plastic Monitoring Task Force (PMTF) to inspect 738 establishments starting June 26 to inspect their stock inventory of plastic and other non-biodegradable materials and evaluate their compliance with the Solid Waste Management Code of Makati.
Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay said Chapter 9 of the code, also known as City Ordinance 2003-095, gives food and retail establishments nine years to dispose of all their stocks of plastics, styrofoam and similar materials and to replace them with environment-friendly materials.
“We are now in the ninth year of implementing the ordinance, so we believe we have given establishments enough time to prepare for the full phase-out being required of them. The new executive order (EO) I issued recently has, in fact, extended the deadline to June 20, 2013,” Binay said..... MORE

Bulatlat Live: People’s SONA 2012
As President Benigno “Noynoy” C. Aquino III delivers his State of the Nation Address, progressive organizations will hold a protest action along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City today. They will criticize Aquino’s policies that did not serve the interests of the Filipino people.

Separating perceptions from reality
A look at the concrete manifestations of the current situation, two years after the Aquino administration took the reins of government, reveals that the change that people expected is just wishful thinking as nothing much has changed except perhaps the public’s supposed still positive perception on the government, which is slowly being eroded by the worsening poverty and hunger resulting from the festering unemployment and underemployment problem and the spikes in prices of basic commodities and services.

Nobody believes them anymore
Good grief! Noynoy and Dinky’s conditional cash transfer (CCT) program which has tens of billions as doleout has been going on for two years, with a lot of anomalies and irregularities found by the official auditing body, the Commission on Audit (CoA), yet there went Malacañang and Noynoy, through his spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, still blaming Gloria Arroyo for these anomalies.
A report stated that Malacañang had admitted that irregularities and other anomalies that hounded the administration’s main poverty alleviation program called the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) can only be blamed on former President Gloria Arroyo.
Lacierda even lied with a straight face, claiming that the irregularities in the CoA report covered the years of Gloria, even when it was clear that the CoA report covered the year 2011, which falls under Noynoy’s term.
But Lacierda even had the gumption to state that the irregularities in the CCT have been already corrected even as he insisted that the anomalous practices dated back from the time of the previous administration.... MORE

US taking covert steps to cripple Syria’s Assad - newspaper
The US government has made repeated covert attempts to block arms and oil shipments to Syria, the Wall Street Journal reports. Officials said Washington also provided rebel forces with key military intelligence against President Bashar al-Assad.
The WSJ cites unnamed government officials in its report, which claims that the US has tried to coerce Iraq into blocking flights crossing through its airspace that are suspected of carrying weapons and supplies to the Assad government.
In addition, US intelligence agencies have moved to block ships believed to be transporting military equipment to Syria from traversing the Suez Canal..... MORE

Anaheim police 'kill another man', cops filmed firing on women & children at protest (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
A second case of deadly police-involved shooting is reported in Anaheim over the weekend. It comes just a day after police shot a 24-year-old man, sparking chaotic protests.
Police shot dead a handcuffed man in the Guinida neighborhood of the city, reports OC Weekly, citing eyewitness accounts.

Iraqi death toll rises to 89 in the worst wave of attacks this year (PHOTOS)
A series of blasts and shootings has brought the single-day death toll for brutal attacks across Iraq to 89 victims, including 13 Iraqi soldiers. With 223 more wounded, the attacks signal the worst outbreak of violence in the country this year.
On early Monday morning, unidentified gunmen attacked an Iraqi military base in the town of Udaim. The terrorists arrived in three vehicles and opened fire on soldiers, reportedly killing 13 of them, Reuters reports.
In one of the latest incidents, roadside bombs struck northeast Iraq, leaving 11 dead..... MORE

Sona fixations Written by Tribune Editorial
Sona fixations
The contents of Noynoy’s State of the Nation Address (Sona) were previewed by the Palace with reporters before the weekend and it seems the final cut would be a major revision since the usual formula of claiming achievements solely by blaming everything on the past administration and for which Noynoy is being criticized heavily as he always says it is Gloria’s fault.
Constantly bashing the heads of his enemies won’t work this time and insisting on it would only strengthen perceptions that nothing indeed was achieved in the two years that Noynoy has been in in power.
The Sona is the occasion for Noynoy to persuade Congress to go along with him in the passing of urgent bills and in the past years it seems that Noynoy has a poor batting average on his administration’s priority bills passing in Congress. Thus, his legislative agenda usually ends way off target every year..... MORE

What not to expect
Written by Jonathan de la Cruz
By now, given the frenzied issuances of the Palace and various government agencies and officials of their “accomplishments” and “advocacies”, we should already have an idea of what P-Noy’s third State of the Nation Address (Sona) will dwell on.
It will definitely highlight once again the regime’s anti-corruption efforts with the usual suspects as main props.
It will particularly focus on the removal of Chief Justice Renato Corona on the unsubstantiated, some say invalid, charge of “betrayal of public trust”. He will insist that Corona’s removal from office, the first successful impeachment in Philippine history, is definitely a giant step in fulfilling his administration’s “reason-for-being” mantra daang matuwid-cum-walang mahirap kung walang corrupt. With Corona mercilessly hounded out of the door, he will now suggest that the prosecution of government wrongdoing can proceed will all deliberate speed and woe to whoever will dare stand in the way of this grand operation.....

Women’s group decries Aquino’s ‘soured promises’
“For several months now, local movements all over the Philippines have been picketing local offices of the Department of Health to protest the Aquino administration’s drive to either sell off or corporatize 26 public hospitals.” – Gabriela
MANILA – With their daily income hardly enough to feed the family, they could not afford to have anyone get sick, said Arlene Acabo, 42, a resident of Tatalon, Quezon City, said.
“Our health is among our top priorities, especially when it comes to my children. They are sickly. We live near a river so our home usually gets flooded. We are exposed to so many possible sicknesses,” Acabo said.
Acabo joined Gabriela, the country’s largest women’s group, in calling on President Benigno “Noynoy” C. Aquino III to look into the welfare of Filipino women in a recent protest action at the foot of Mendiola Bridge. During the rally, one protester dramatized their plight when she lied down on a hospital stretcher with an intravenous drip. Gabriela, in its statement, described it as a portrayal of how Aquino’s policies are tormenting the Filipino people.
“For several months now, local movements all over the Philippines have been picketing local offices of the Department of Health to protest the Aquino administration’s drive to either sell off or corporatize 26 public hospitals, “ Gabriela said, “it will further worsen the bad state of women’s health.”
State of women’s health
Acobo said public hospitals are of great help to their families. Sometime in October last year, a dog bit her. She was brought to a nearby private hospital but was rejected when they said they could not afford to pay the down payment right away. Acobo could no longer remember how much it was but it was something that she and her husband, who works as a sewer in a garments factory and takes home only $70 a month, could not cough up in an hour or two.
“The check up was already worth $6 and it does not yet include the shots,” she said.
They moved to San Lazaro Hospital, a public hospital, and paid only $0.70 for the check up. The staff immediately cleaned her wound. Acobo bought the vaccines outside the hospital.
With the proposed privatization of public hospitals, Acobo wonders how poor Filipinos would be able to survive. “It is very scary to think about. Are we going to die without the benefit of being treated?” she said..... MORE

No surprise seen in ‘routine’ Sona
Written by Fernan J. Angeles and Angie M. Rosales
GROUPS, SOLONS DEMAND NOY SHOW DIRECTION IN ADDRESS
The Palace described the State of the Nation Address (Sona) today of President Aquino as “truthful, inspiring and defining” but the general expectation is that its contents would not be different from the formula of past two Sonas that focused on the sins of the past and Aquino’s claim of achievement while lacking in substance such as a clear direction on his economic policies with Sen. Joker Arroyo describing the speech as a “traditional ritual.”
The nationalist economic group Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) dared Aquino to define in the Sona its economic governance approach of “inclusive growth” in that nobody will be left behind as the economy grows.
“Without the anti-corruption drive, the economic governance approach of Aquino, or as some quarters call it “Aquinomics,” is no different from the 10-year reign of “Arroyonomics,” according to FDC.
Aquino will deliver the address, which had to be revised nine times, in front of a Joint Session of Congress at the Batasan Pambansa and is expected to start around 3 p.m. The Senate and the House of Representatives would be convening separately in the morning before heading for the joint session which would formally pave the way for the event which costs the government P2.7 million just for the food of the guests.
Arroyo added that he did not expect Aquino to deliver an astounding third Sona, saying the address would likely follow what he described as “traditional ritual” and would contain his administration’s accomplishments and plans for the coming years.
“It’s a routine. All presidents say: this is what I have done and this is what I will do. It is a ritual,” Arroyo said..... MORE

Ex-PTA head shot, in critical condition
A veteran newspaper columnist and former head of the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) is in a critical condition after he was shot in the face during a robbery yesterday, police said.
Nixon Kua, 49, was “hit on the face and different parts of his body” by one of four gunmen who attacked him and his younger brother, Allyxon, 46, in the latter’s residence in Calamba City, Laguna, police said in a statement.
His brother was also shot several times in the body, but was later declared out of danger at a hospital.
The motive of the attack was unlikely connected to Kua’s work as a journalist for tabloid Pilipino Star Ngayon, police said.
Kua, who was appointed by then-President Joseph Estrada to head the PTA in 2000, was also formerly a stringer for international news agencies..... MORE

Palparan merely followed GMA orders — Trillanes Written by Fernan J. Angeles Monday, 23 July 2012 00:00
Palparan merely followed GMA orders — Trillanes
Malacañang is expecting political allies like Sen. Antonio Trillanes to be the last persons to defend fugitive retired Army Gen. Jovito Palparan.
At a radio press briefing, presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Malacañang on the senator’s suggesting that the government to stop running after Palparan “mainly because (Palparan) was just following orders.”
Trillanes was a fugitive soldier himself during the Arroyo administration.
The Palace mouthpiece said “Palparan too had the obligation to disobey an immoral order.”
Lacierda said Palparan, who has been in hiding since October last year, was old enough to understand the “moral precepts” of the orders he got from former President Arroyo, and disregard immoral orders as what any logical person would do..... MORE

Gov’t hospitals will not be privatized — Palace
A top Malacañang official dismissed fears over reports that the administration was pushing the privatization of government hospitals.
In a press briefing, presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda also sought to allay concerns by some local officials that the poor would lose access to free hospital services.
Lacierda said that while government hospitals would be set up as juridical entities, there was no plan to privatize them. “What were doing is create juridical entities out of these government hospitals,” he said on government-run dzRB radio..... MORE

QC gov’t lowers boom on unsanitary chicken shops’ facilities, illegal pedicabs
Written by Arlie O. Calalo
The Quezon City Veterinary Office (VO) has closed down seven dressed chicken suppliers’ facilities at a public market for violating provisions of the sanitation and meat inspection codes.
The VO’s sanitation enforcement team, assisted by field personnel of the local Market Development and Administration Department (MDAD), confiscated several chicken heads during the operation, city veterinarian Ana Maria Cabel said.
Earlier, Cabel had called for a strict monitoring of different dressed chicken facilities in the city to ensure they conform to sanitation standards prescribed by the local health department.
During the operation at the Kamuning Market, Cabel noted that most of the facilities were operating without proper drainage system and tiled flooring.
Owners of the facilities are also liable to six month.... MORE

Militants hold protest march to denounce human rights abuses of Aquino government
Whatever human rights records President Aquino might report in his third State of the Nation Address (Sona) today, his “daang matuwid” will always be “bloody and anti-people,” militants said in a prepared statement yesterday.
The protesters, who had been conducting a people’s Lakbayan or March since yesterday, came from various provinces of Southern Tagalog and gathered at Mendiola to mount a timeline that enumerates human rights abuses and anti-people policies under the Aquino administration.
“The Aquino administration has no regard for human rights and is not serious in going after rights abusers, especially the government security forces that continue to wage war against the common people,” Leo Fuentes, secretary-general of Bayan-Southern Tagalog, said..... MORE

Taiwan Cinema: The Golden Age
A unique exhibition to tie-in with the festival screening of Forever Love, a romantic comedy by directors Aozaru Shiao and Toyoharu Kitamura which celebrates the heydey of Taiwanese-language films.
At the Terracotta Festival Hub, May 28 – June 1.
During the 1950s and 1960s, there was a so-called “Hollywood in Taiwan” where every year, about 120 fantastical feature films were produced. These films were made in Hokkien, native Taiwanese language, and were hailed for their remarkable fantasy and science fiction story lines that featured spacetraveling spies, Triads in the jungle, and strange hybrid creatures of humans and deer. Sadly, this wonderfully creative and original period in cinema, which drew its cue from a mish-mash of international influences, came to an end when large studios insisted on making safer bet titles that were to be shot in Mandarin to fit in with the increasing influence of China.
The film Forever Love (Friday 30 May, 15:30) harks back to this largely ignored or forgotten era, paying homage to some of these films and including actual footage from some of these titles. The festival organisers, in association with Chinese Taipei Film Archive, have sourced theatrical posters from some of the films which inspired Forever Love; they will be on display at our hub, Opium Cocktail & Dim Sum Parlour, for the duration of the festival.

Favorite Weakness And Love Quotes
1. "Perhaps because the origins of a certain kind of love lie in an impulse to escape ourselves and out weaknesses by an alliance with the beautiful and noble. But if the loved ones love us back, we are forced to return to ourselves, and are hence reminded of the things that had driven us into love in the first place. Perhaps it was not love we wanted after all, perhaps it was simply someone in whom to believe, but how can we continue to believe the the beloved now that they believe in us?"
Author: Alain De Botton
2. "Every fall into love involves the triumph of hope over self-knowledge. We fall in love hoping we won't find in another what we know is in ourselves, all the cowardice, weakness, laziness, dishonesty, compromise, and stupidity. We throw a cordon of love around the chosen one and decide that everything within it will somehow be free of our faults. We locate inside another a perfection that eludes us within ourselves, and through our union with the beloved hope to maintain (against the evidence of all self-knowledge) a precarious faith in our species."
3. "I sing to him that rests below,And, since the grasses round me wave,I take the grasses of the grave,And make them pipes whereon to blow.The traveller hears me now and then,And sometimes harshly will he speak:`This fellow would make weakness weak,And melt the waxen hearts of men.'Another answers, `Let him be,He loves to make parade of painThat with his piping he may gainThe praise that comes to constancy.'A third is wroth: `Is this an hourFor private sorrow's barren song,When more and more the people throngThe chairs and thrones of civil power?'A time to sicken and to swoon,When Science reaches forth her armsTo feel from world to world, and charmsHer secret from the latest moon?'Behold, ye speak an idle thing:Ye never knew the sacred dust:I do but sing because I must,And pipe but as the linnets sing:And one is glad; her note is gay,For now her little ones have ranged;And one is sad; her note is changed,Because her brood is stol'n away."
Author: Alfred Tennyson
4. "Friendship love. This is a very special thing. It's the sort of love where you know another being's strengths and weaknesses, perfections and imperfections, and you love the whole package."
Author: Angelo Dirks
5. "Jealousy always has been my cross, the weakness and woundedness in me that has most often caused me to feel ugly and unlovable, like the Bad Seed. I've had many years of recovery and therapy, years filled with intimate and devoted friendships, yet I still struggle. I know that when someone gets a big slice of pie, it doesn't mean there's less for me. In fact, I know that there isn't even a pie, that there's plenty to go around, enough food and love and air.But I don't believe it for a second.I secretly believe there's a pie. I will go to my grave brandishing my fork."
Author: Anne Lamott
6. "I have lived lies. I have done it again and again. I live lies because I cannot endure the weakness of anger, and I cannot admit the irrationality of love.-Marius"
Author: Anne Rice
7. "I live lies because I cannot endure the weakness of anger, and I cannot admit the irrationality of love."
8. "But I lived a lie. I lived it out of anger. This is what I am trying to tell you. I have lived lies. I have done it again and again. I live lies because I cannot endure the weakness of anger and I cannot admit the irrationality of love. Oh the lies I have told myself and others. I knew it yet I didn't know."
9. "Be proud of being a woman; proud of everything that comes in the package - including the mood swings of pms, the frustration of periods, the labour pains, everything. Along with the pms comes deeper understanding of yourself, your weaknesses and chance to improve upon, along with periods comes on the other side the ability to conceive and labour pains culminate in something lot wonderful.Celebrate womanhood every single day! We are special, a God-made package filled so much with love, caring, understanding and patience that I am sure even He must have felt proud after having created.Spread love. Happy Women's Day."
Author: Arti Honrao
10. "I suppose it is that sickness and weakness are selfish things and turn our inner eyes and sympathy on ourselves, whilst health and strength give love rein, and in thought and feeling he can wander where he wills."
Author: Bram Stoker
11. "It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self."
Author: Criss Jami
12. "Real confidence has a realistic view of itself. It knows what it is capable of and not capable of. Real confidence does not need to overcompensate for anything, it doesn't have to try harder to be more than what it already is. Real confidence does not beat itself up when it makes a mistake. Real confidence is secure enough to let someone else take the credit for something, without losing its own identity. Real confidence is humble. Real confidence recognizes its weaknesses and limitations, and is secure enough to admit when it is wrong."'Living With Confidence: From Fear To Love"
Author: Dan Pedersen
13. "To be human is, primarily, to embrace that we are human with strengths and weaknesses, and that our humanity is preordained to seek the Truth, Good and Beauty as part of our humanity. To be human is to be an agent of peace, justice, and reconciliation in our community or society. To be human is to be heroic and generous in an unobtrusive way, free from any selfish motive, with no media to show the litany of our good deeds. To be human is to have time to listen to the story of a grieving soul, to give hope to the hopeless, to give love to the unloved.(Danny Castillones Sillada, A reason to be Human: Human Pathos and Compassion)"
Author: Danny Castillones Sillada
14. "Your woman knows your weaknesses better than anybody. She knows where you will falter and give up. She knows the degree of mediocrity you will settle for. And, she knows your true capacity as a full man, a man of free consciousness and love. Her gift, if she is a good woman, is to test you with her darkest moods, over and over and over, until your consciousness is unperturbed by feminine challenge, and you are able to pervade her with your love, just as you are here to pervade the world. In response to your fearless consciousness, she will drench your world in love and light."
Author: David Deida
15. "Smokey Robinson writes the heartfelt songs, whereas it was my job to write the songs about weakness and failure in love."
Author: Elvis Costello
16. "Jesus beckons me to follow him to that place of weakness where I risk the vulnerability of a child so that I might know how strong my Father is and how much he loves me. But truth be told, I would rather be an adult. I'd rather be in a place where I can still pull things together if God doesn't show up, where I risk no ultimate humiliation, where I don't have to take the shallow breaths of desperation. And as a result, my experience of my heavenly Father is simply impoverished."
Author: Gary Haugen
17. "There is a twilight zone in our hearts that we ourselves cannot see. Even when we know quite a lot about ourselves-our gifts and weaknesses, our ambitions and aspirations, our motives and our drives-large parts of ourselves remain in the shadow of consciousness. This is a very good thing. We will always remain partially hidden to ourselves. Other people, especially those who love us, can often see our twilight zones better than we ourselves can. The way we are seen and understood by others is different from the way we see and understand ourselves. We will never fully know the significance of our presence in the lives of our friends. That's a grace, a grace that calls us not only to humility, but to a deep trust in those who love us. It is the twilight zones of our hearts where true friendships are born."
Author: Henri J.M. Nouwen
18. "The avoidance of little evils, little sins, little inconsistencies, little weaknesses, little follies, little indiscretions and imprudences, little foibles, little indulgences of self and of the flesh, little acts of indolence or indecision, or slovenliness or cowardice, little equivocations or aberrations from high integrity, little touches of shabbiness or meanness...little indifferences to the feelings or wishes of others, little outbreaks of temper, or crossness, or selfishness, or vanity - the avoidance of such little things as these goes far to make up at least the negative beauty of a holy life."
Author: Horatius Bonar
19. "God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives. Felt weakness deepens dependence on Christ for strength each day. The weaker we feel, the harder we lean. And the harder we lean, the stronger we grow spiritually, even while our bodies waste away. To live with your ‘thorn' uncomplainingly — that is, sweet, patient, and free in heart to love and help others, even though every day you feel weak — is true sanctification. It is true healing for the spirit. It is a supreme victory of grace."
Author: J.I. Packer
20. "Now, according to the strength or weakness of his faith in his Savior, so is his joy and peace, so is his love for holiness, so are his desires to know Him more and to serve Him more single-mindedly in this present world."But"
Author: John Bunyan
21. "Poem by Howard A. Walter (Character)I would be true, for there are those who trust me;I would be pure, for there are those who care;I would be strong, for there are those who suffer;I would be brave, for there is much to dare.I would be friend of all--- the foe, the friendless;I would be giving, and forget the gift;I would be humble, for I know my weakness;I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift."
Author: John C. Maxwell
22. "She used to place her pretty arms about my neck, draw me to her, and laying her cheek to mine, murmur with her lips near my ear, "Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours. In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me and mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit."And when she had spoken such a rhapsody, she would press me more closely in her trembling embrace, and her lips in soft kisses gently glow upon my cheek."
Author: Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
23. "Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours. In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die--die, sweetly die--into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me and mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit."
24. "You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That's when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That's what 'Time Is Love' is all about."
Author: Josh Turner
25. "Come here." Nico reached over and gave Katty a great big hug. "Have I told you how much I love you lately?" Katty immediately turned soft. She had a big weakness for Nico. Just hearing the word 'love' instantly made her melt. "No, but I like to hear it." She smiled back at him with a smile that illuminated her face. She did like to hear it. She hadn't know Nico for very long, but there was just something so awesome about him that she felt very loved. He may have been a Vampire, and had a heart as black as night, but deep down he was a good man. He knew how to love a girl when he found the right one. He loved her completely, and without any doubt."
Author: Keira D. Skye
26. "It's called being in love. It's more frightening than confronting your deepest fear and opens you to being hurt beyond the physical plane." He placed a hand over his heart. "It might seem as though it's a weakness to you but it is proof that we are more than numbers, experiments, or whatever else Mercile intended us to be. It takes bravery and strength to feel such strong emotions for one person when we were denied from birth the chance to ever care about anything or anyone. I'm not saying it's easy or painless. It is probably one of the most complex things I've experienced. Jessie is my life. My heart beats for her and I will admit to all that I wouldn't want to go on if I lost her. The unmated ones don't understand and are currently looking confused or horrified. I'm hopeful they'll know the ups and downs of falling in love one day. It's a gift and a curse at times but everyone should experience it. It's a part of life and we are survivors."
Author: Laurann Dohner
27. "I love you Maddy." His lips raked hungrily over her cheek."It scares the hell out of me to say that; I've always thought of love as a weakness. I still do. But I can't be with you and not say it...and I can't let you go." He cupped her head in his large hands and kissed her on the mouth, searching deeply, exploring with a rough tenderness that devastated her. "Let me love you," he said, his voice turning hoarse. "Let me take care of you." His mouth crushed hers in sweet, raw need, and he kissed her over and over, until every inch of her skin was suffused with heat."
Author: Lisa Kleypas
28. "The truth now.He was disappointed in human beings.He had seen too many betrayals,too many pitiful weaknesses,too much greed for money and fame.The falseness between lovers,husbands and wifes,fathers,sons,mothers,daughters"
Author: Mario Puzo
29. "I earnestly wish to point out in what true dignity and human happiness consists. I wish to persuade women to endeavor to acquire strength, both of mind and body, and to convince them that the soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, delicacy of sentiment, and refinement of taste, are almost synonymous with epithets of weakness, and that those beings are only the objects of pity, and that kind of love which has been termed its sister, will soon become objects of contempt."
Author: Mary Wollstonecraft
30. "The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.Love is more than a candle.Love can ignite the stars."
Author: Matthew Woodring Stover
31. "George was full of hatred. Of his own weakness and stupidity, of his magic, of the stubbornness and the pride of Beatrice and Marit, and, last of all, hatred of Dr. Gharn, who had started it all.But the hatred swayed to pity. Then to hopelessness. Then back to anger.Every once in a great while, he felt a moment of peace, usually when he caught a glimpse of Beatrice and Marit together. He loved them both in different ways. But that could not be.He turned away, and the cycle began again."
Author: Mette Ivie Harrison
32. "While Dmitri, as the leader of Raphael's Seven, could not accept such a weakness, the mortal he'd once been, the one who had loved a woman with a wide mouth and eyes of slanted brown . . . that man understood what it was to love so deeply it was a kind of beautiful madness."
Author: Nalini Singh
33. "I knew then, in that small moment, that all my life I would be the kind of woman that inspired weakness in men. It was like my future stretched out in front of me and I could see it, a future of men turning to me for comfort, not passion. Men trusting me more than I wanted to be trusted. Men turning into boys, maybe even babies, in my arms. I would be the kind of woman who loved men into lesser, not finer, selves."
Author: Nanci Kincaid
34. "The error all women commit. Why can't you women love us, faultsand all? Why do you place us on monstrous pedestals? We have all feet ofclay, women as well as men; but when we men love women, we love themknowing their weaknesses, their follies, their imperfections, love them allthe more, it may be, for that reason. It is not the perfect, but the imperfect,who have need of love. It is when we are wounded by our own hands,or by the hands of others, that love should come to cure us – else what useis love at all? All sins, except a sin against itself, Love should forgive. Alllives, save loveless lives, true Love should pardon. A man's love is like that.It is wider, larger, more human than a woman's. Women think that theyare making ideals of men. What they are making of us are false idolsmerely. You made your false idol of me, and I had not the courage tocome down, show you my wounds, tell you my weaknesses. I was afraidthat I might lose your love, as I have lost it now."
Author: Oscar Wilde
35. "In the violent scorn of her revolted pride, of her indignant honor, had she forgotten a lowlier yet harder duty left undone?In her contempt and dread of yielding to mere amorous weakness had she stifled and denied the cry of pity, the cry of conscience?To suffer woes which hope thinks infinite. To forgive wrongs darker than death or night. To defy power which seems omnipotent. To love and live to hope till hope creates from it's own wreck the thing it contemplates. Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent.This had been the higher, diviner way which she had missed, this obligation from the passion of the past which she had left unfulfilled, unaccepted.Now the misgiving arose in her whether she had mistaken arrogance for duty; whether, cleaving so closely to honor she had forgotten the obligation of mercy."
Author: Ouida
36. "When your ears hear and your eyes see the sin, weakness, or failure of your husband or wife, it is never an accident; it is always grace. God loves your spouse, and he is committed to transforming him or her by his grace, and he has chosen you to be one of his regular tools of change."
Author: Paul David Tripp
37. "Thy will be done, my Lord. Because you know the weakness in the heart of yourchildren, and you assign each of them only the burden they can bear. May youunderstand my love–because it is the only thing I have that is really mine, the only thing that I will be able to take with me into the next life. Please allow it to be courageous and pure; please make it capable of surviving the snares of the world."
Author: Paulo Coelho
38. "Archie wasn't waiting for her at the attic. She didn't consider that. He wasprobably giving her time to set and collect a trap, about a week or so as she guessed, a testing period. He couldn't trust her just yet, but she could tell that there was also more to it. He needed to distance himself, from her, because he was afraid to love her. That was it. Loving her was his flaw, weakness, and he could not have a weakness, not while at war. He wouldn't show up, not for some time. She knew that. The longer it would take for him to come back, the more he loved her."
Author: Perie Wolford
39. "The women we really love are the women who complete us, who have the qualities we can borrow and so become something nearer to whole men. Just as we complete them, of course; it's not a one-way thing. Leola and I, when romance was stripped away, were too much alike; our strengths and weaknesses were too nearly the same. Together we would have doubled our gains and our losses, but that isn't what love is."
Author: Robertson Davies
40. "You make someone into a object of – not so much of pity as of weakness, sickness, stupidity, inefectiveness, do you see what I mean? You hit them for their stupidity and their inability to respond, and when you've hurt them, marked them, they're even more sick and ugly, aren't they? And they're afraid and cringing too. Oh, I know this isn't very pleasant, but you did ask.""Go on" he said."So you've got a frightened, stupid, even disabled person, silenced, made ugly, and what can you do with someone like that, someone who's unworthy of being treated well? You treat them badly because that's what they deserve. One thinks of poor little kids that no one love because they're dirty, sovered in snot and shit, and always screaming. So you beat them because they're hateful, they're low, they're sub-human. That's all they're good for, being hit, being reduced even further."
Author: Ruth Rendell
41. "I was exceedingly affected, says he, upon the occasion. But was ashamed to be surprised by her into such a fit of unmanly weakness-so ashamed that I was resolved to subdue it at the instant, and guard against the like for the future. Yet, at that moment, I more than half regretted that I could not permit her to enjoy a triumph which she so well deserved to glory in-her youth, her beauty, her artless innocence, and her manner, equally beyond comparison or description. But her indifference, Belford!-That she could resolve to sacrifice me to the malice of my enemies; and carry on the design in so clandestine a manner-yet love her, as I do, to frenzy!-revere her, as I do, to adoration!-These were the recollections with which I fortified my recreant heart against her-Yet, after all, if she persevere, she must conquer!-Coward, as she has made me, that never was a coward before!"
Author: Samuel Richardson
42. "I'd more than missed him, I needed him. It wasn't a dependency, it wasn't a weakness or a failure, he was an addition to my very soul. And I laughed into our kiss as I realized that this was what love was. I could live without him, of course I could, and I could function and get on with my days if he wasn't here, but I didn't want to. I wanted him right where he was, in my space and in my life."
Author: Shelly Crane
43. "And I've fallen.So hard.I've hit the ground. Gone right through it. Never in my life have I felt this. Nothing like this. I've felt shame and cowardice, weakness and strength. I've known terror and indifference, self-hate and general disgust. I've seen things that cannot be unseen.And yet I've known nothing like this terrible, horrible, paralyzing feeling. I feel crippled. Desperate and out of control. And it keeps getting worse. Every day I feel sick. Empty and somehow aching.Love is a heartless bastard."
Author: Tahereh Mafi
44. "Remember, everyone has weaknesses, and there are at least two sides to every story. If you err in judgment, be sure you err on the side of love and mercy."7"
Author: The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints
45. "There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love."
Author: Washington Irving

Review of "Tina - The Tina Turner Musical"
Adrienne Warren as Tina Turner in Tina - The Tina Turner Musical
In the past few seasons there have been a slew of biographical shows on Broadway – Summer, The Cher Show, and Ain’t Too Proud - The Life and Times of the Temptations. Tina – the Tina Turner Musical is more gratifying and well-defined than those previous entries. It is a dazzling jukebox production with a scintillating and career-defining performance by Adrienne Warren in the title role.
Like musicals of this genre, the book begins when the featured artist is very young and weaves its way through adulthood and a demarcating and triumphant moment in the person(s) life. What separates Tina is the story, written by Katori Hall, Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins, for the musical is intelligible and less episodic. There is a good rhythm and fluidity to the production. Sure, there are gaps and unexplained leaps, but those are the pitfalls when attempting to cram decades of someone’s career into a 2 ½+ show.
In Tina, the focus centers, at first, on her personal and professional relationship with Ike Turner, played with a devilish mixture of zeal, passion, carnal desires and inner rage by Daniel J. Watts. Their 16-year pairing ultimately fails from too much spousal abuse—both physical and psychological. On her own, Tina Turner seeks to rebuild her career as she arises, Phoenix-like, from the ashes of her once glamorous and successful vocal career to become, in mid-life, a bona fide superstar.
The musical numbers span her 60’s hits like “River Deep—Mountain High” and “Proud Mary” as well her multi-platinum selling songs from the 1980’s that include “Private Dancer,” “We Don’t Need a Hero,” and “What’s Love Got to Do with It.” The earlier songs are performed with a controlled frenzy, led by the incomparable Adrienne Warren, who gyrates and dances up a storm, along with the Ikettes, to the polished and stylized choreography devised by Anthony Van Laast.
While the supporting cast is superb, especially the young actress Skye Turner who possesses a powerhouse set of vocal chords, there would be no Tina without Adrienne Warren. I sat there marveling at the power of her voice, her boundless energy and command of the stage. The final production number, “(Simply) The Best” encapsulates the best of Ms. Warren’s performance and the overall vitality of the musical.
Director Phyllida Lloyd keeps the pacing brisk, not allowing the show to drag or lose its élan. Act I is more tension-filled and animated since Ms. Lloyd has the character of Ike, cruel and unapologetic, to play off the trusting, inexperienced Tina. In Act II, the director maneuvers the production through a tonal change that is less combative and more reflective and celebratory.
The creative team significantly shapes the look and feel of the show. They include Lighting Designer Bruno Poet, Sound Designer Nevin Steinberg, the psychedelic and hip projections by Jeff Sugg, and the sometimes stunning set pieces and period specific costumes by Mark Thompson. The fight sequences under the direction of Sordelet, Inc. are realistic and can be heart-pounding. Musical Supervisor Nicholas Skilbeck has the off-stage and on-stage band in perfect sync during the pulsating rhythm and blues numbers as well as the power ballads in the latter part of the show.
Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, a jubilant, entertaining musical with a not-to-be-missed performance by the actress Adrienne Warren.

Review of "A Shayna Madel"
Katharina Schmidt, Laura Sudduth, and Mitch Greenberg in A Shayna Madel at Playhouse on Park thru Nov. 17th.
The play, A Shayna Madel, is a powerful story of survival and hope that, over 35 years after it was first produced, is still a compelling and relevant show.
The setting is the Upper West Side of New York City soon after World War II has ended. Rose Weiss (Laura Sudduth), a young woman living on her own, is startled to learn from her father, Mordechai Weiss (Mitch Greenberg), that her older sister Lusia (Katharina Schmidt) has survived the devastation of the Holocaust, has been located in Europe, and is soon to arrive in the States. The initial meeting of the two women is fraught with anxiety and tension as they begin to reconnect and learn to share their lives together in the small one-bedroom apartment. Complicating their growing rapport is their impassive, stolid father and his personal agenda.
In flashbacks and dreamy imagery, the audience learns the backstory of Lusia, her closeness with her childhood friend Hanna (Julia Tolchin), the relationship with her now departed mother (Krista Lucas), and the shocking reason one part of the family made it to safety. Underlying the story is the recent immigrant’s search for her missing husband Duvid (Alex Rafala) who she believes has also entered the country. In the end, the surviving members of the extended Weiss family come together as they build new lives in an unfamiliar, but embracing country.
Playwright Barbara Lebow’s work examines the resilience of individuals in time of upheaval and life-altering change and how the bonds of family, while stretched and imperiled, are strong and long-lasting. The play also explores the assimilation and generational shift of people and their culture to a new land, the joys, the promises, and the challenges it presents.
The cast members feel genuine as they embrace their roles with exhilaration and solemnness. Laura Sudduth imbues the role of Rose Weiss with the joy of newfound freedom and boundless opportunity. The actress also tempers her performance with empathy and compassion. Katharina Schmidt’s Luisa is most convincing when portraying her somber side in Rose’s apartment. Her languid movements and speech speak volumes for what she experienced overseas. Mitch Greenberg gives a nuanced performance as the father. Outwardly, he is stoic and strict as he pushes forward in a new world. But, underneath, the actor conveys an inner pain and emotional emptiness. Julia Tolchin’s Hannah is full of girlish exuberance and optimism. Alex Rafala displays kindness and devotion as Duvid, a man who shows sincere love and concern for his young bride Luisa. In her brief moments on stage, Krista Lucas delivers a poignant portrayal of a mother lost to the ravages of the Holocaust.
Director Dawn Loveland Navarro has a tender, but forthright hand in shepherding this work through its paces. She nimbly guides the two actresses from nervous apprehension to a comfortable, loving sisterly relationship. Ms. Navarro skillfully integrates the dream sequences and flashbacks into a multi-layered production. At times, the reality segments and illusionary aspects of the play can be somewhat unclear but, with the adept assistance of Lighting Designer Marcus Abbott, the grasp of the flow and action of the play are more easily understood.
David Lewis’ Scenic Design is apt for a 1946 Brooklyn apartment. The set is utilitarian and functional, with few frills.

Review of "Cry It Out"
Rachel Spencer Hewitt and Evelyn Spahr from Cry It Out, playing at Hartford Stage thru Nov. 17th.
Raising a newborn can make for unlikely friendships and interpersonal interactions. In playwright Molly Smith Metzler’s often rib-tickling and heart rendering comedy-drama Cry It Out, two women, neighbors from different socio-economic worlds, nonetheless begin to bond as they navigate the intimidating, sometimes unnerving responsibility of caring for an infant. Added to their anxiety, and producing a bit of drama on its own, is the sudden appearance of another neighbor looking to have his wife included in the duo’s daily get-togethers.
Jessie (Rachel Spencer Hewitt), a high-powered lawyer on leave from her New York City firm, lives in an apartment with her financier husband on Long Island’s North Shore. Lina (Evelyn Spahr), residing next door with her husband in her mother-in-law’s home, is an entry level hospital worker originally from the South Shore with a brash demeanor and attitude. On the surface, they are as dissimilar as two people could possibly be, but when it comes to caring, fretting, and loving a newborn child differences quickly evaporate. At first, Jessie invites Lina over for coffee. Their initial encounter is awkward and forced, but as their backyard meetings continue their tentative relationship grows into a real friendship. Enter Mitchell (Erin Gann), a well-to-do entrepreneur who lives on a ridge overlooking Jessie’s yard. He asks the women if his wife, who recently gave birth, could become part of their soirees. Reluctantly, Jessie and Lina agree, but the arranged tryst with his wife Adrienne (Caroline Kinsolving) does not go so well. Soon, challenging changes take place, altering each person’s familial dynamics.
Playwright Metzler deftly brings out many issues women face after childbirth—emotional bearing, marital relationships, and the question of staying home or returning to work. The conversations appear real and heartfelt. What is less successful is when the characters Mitchell and Adrienne are inserted into the flow of the production. Their entrances disrupt the seamless nature of the play Metzler has constructed. While a resolution is not necessarily needed for the show, a more layered conclusion would have been less abrupt than what is presented.
The cast is assured and sharp with Evelyn Spahr, as Lina, having the juiciest, in-your-face role. The actress consistently has the best comedic lines. While, initially, appearing like a complete fool, she turns in a more measured, warmhearted performance. Rachel Spencer Hewitt gives her character Jessie a multifaceted look. You can feel her inner turmoil as she debates what is best for herself and her young family. In two short scenes, Caroline Kinsolving has the difficult task of making her character Adrienne both bitchy and sympathetic. She does so with sophistication and aplomb and demonstrates you can’t always judge a book by its cover. Erin Gann is a bit manic as Mitchell. More restraint and nuance would have enhanced his characterization.
Director Rachel Alderman builds a believable relationship between Jessie and Lina. Their scenes come across as genuine, playful, and full of humor. She adorns the show with lighthearted embellishments such as the “Tick Tock” bedtime song the two friends enact and the slight histrionics exhibited by Lina. There are some miscues, such as an egging sequence but, overall, the direction is strong and convincing.
Scenic Designer Kristen Robinson’s slightly elevated circular set, covered in grass and leaves, has a fishbowl effect with the audience observing, admiring and judging what is presented on stage.

Review of "American Son"
The storyline of the play American Son, receiving a riveting production at Theaterworks in Hartford, feels like it has been ripped from the headlines of the nightly news. An African-American woman, Kendra Ellis-Connor, is anxiously seated in the waiting room of a Miami Beach police station in the early morning hours, awaiting word about her missing son. A young white police officer attempts to placate her continuous entreaties while peppering her with racially inappropriate questions. Soon, the mother’s estranged white husband, Scott Connor, enters the scene demanding, with somewhat better success, information about the whereabouts of his 18-year-old son Jamal. Each time the policeman exits the room the husband and wife quarrel over such hot button issues as poor child rearing practices, lack of parental responsibility, and the role of privilege in a multi-racial family. A police lieutenant’s entry into the fray only serves to complicate matters. Tempers flare up on all sides as the investigation into Jamal’s disappearance reaches its uncompromising conclusion.
Playwright Christopher Demos-Brown has crafted a work that, sadly, remains real and to-the-moment. He adeptly weaves in such issues as racial profiling, establishing Black identity, and the problems interracial couples face. In a small sense, the play is a character study of a Black and White married couple, now estranged, who are coping with intimate and significant details of their lives. On a larger scale, the play is about the still considerable racial divide in our country. The dialogue and scenarios are strong and compelling.
The cast is led by Ami Brabson as the mother of the missing boy. She brings a strong-willed determination to the role, but also confusion and impertinence as her character desperately seeks answers from the police and her estranged husband. J. Anthony Crane, who plays husband Scott Connors, exudes an air of arrogance and self-assurance that impedes his judgement and actions with his wife, son, and the police. Michael Genest, in his short time on stage as the African-American Police Lieutenant John Stokes, displays forcefulness and compassion along with a no-nonsense manner. John Ford-Dunker, is convincingly bland as Office Paul Larkin, a young man who is woefully ignorant of his racial insensitivity.
Rob Ruggiero’s taut direction keeps the audience entranced with the clashes on stage. His assured hand deftly manages the various conflicts and overarching themes presented in the production. He skillfully allows the suspense to build to its startling climax.
Brian Prather’s Scenic Design of a small, sterile waiting room brings the encounters into sharp focus. The Sound Design by Frederick Kennedy, primarily of the threatening thunderstorm brewing outside, helps provide an ominous tone to the production. Lighting Designer Matthew Richards utilizes harsh glowing fluorescent lights that flood the stage, leaving no place for the characters to hide.

Review of "The Wolves"
The ensemble of “The Wolves” by Sarah DeLappe onstage through Nov 3 in Connecticut Repertory Theatre’s Studio Theatre. Tickets and info at crt.uconn.edu or 860-486-2113. Photo by Gerry Goodstein.
The Wolves, is a unique drama that uses the backdrop of an indoor girl’s soccer team to probe the multi-faceted relationship female teenagers have amongst themselves. The plot follows nine teens, aged 16-17 years old, that gather on a weekly basis to drill and prepare for matches over the course of an unspecified time-period. The group has grown up together, playing at various town and travel team levels. During their time on stage they workout, banter about silly matters, world politics, sex, friendship and more. As the show progresses the audience slowly becomes more engrossed in their lives and their unique bond. We become aware of more serious concerns that are just bubbling under the surface of their small talk and carefree attitude. Issues such as sexual self-identity, individualism, and adolescent anxiety become apparent. Death also knocks at their door.
Playwright Sarah DeLappe takes the dynamics that surround the soccer team and has crafted a play full of realism and brio. At times, raw and full of emotion, the interchanges feel fresh, true, and not forced. She incorporates overlapping dialogue that adds to the authenticity of the action. The young woman can be playful, callous, and impudent. They can shift from being bosom buddies one moment and snapping antagonists the next. There is a reason the show is named for a predatory animal.
Like a well-trained sports team, the troupe of nine actresses—all undergraduate BFA students at the University of Connecticut--work seamlessly together. There was a tentativeness by the performers at the start of the 90-minute, intermission-less show, but that gradually faded as the play progressed. Each member of the acting troupe is integral for the success and betterment of the whole. Throughout the show, particular characters took the spotlight, but then faded back within the assemblage. The performers had no problem wearing their emotions on their sleeves, which gives the production a realistic feel to it. There is one adult role in the show, who appears briefly at the play’s end. She delivers a heartfelt and penetrating monologue. The young actresses (with their team numbers) are Alexandra Brokowski (#25), Megan O'Connor (#11), Eliza Carson (#8), Maddy Tamms (#2), Nicolle Cooper (#14), Jamie Feidner (#7), Betty Smith (#13), Elizabeth Jebran (#46), Eilis Garcia (#00), and April Lichtman as the Soccer Mom.
Director Julie Foh has molded the collection of young actresses into a first-rate ensemble. They don’t come across as a well-toned, high caliber group of soccer players, but the performers do effortlessly kick the balls to each other, run wind sprints, and talk the talk. She has forged a group esprit de corps while, at the same time, keeping each member’s individual personality and temperament intact. The director assiduously ensures the dramatic arc of the production remains genuine, slowly ratcheting up the tension as the show nears its end.
Scenic designer Kristen P.E. Zarabozo has created a simple, artificial turf set with plastic sheets of curtain hanging from the rafters, which gives the stage the realistic feel of an indoor soccer facility.
The Wolves, an engaging and winning production, playing at the intimate Studio Theater at the Connecticut Repertory Theatre in Storrs through November 3rd. Information and tickets are at https://crt.uconn.edu/Online/default.asp.
Review of "Billy Elliot"
Billy Elliot, playing at the Goodspeed Opera House through November 24th, is one of the best productions I have seen at the venerable theater in many years. Director Gabriel Barre has masterfully reconfigured this large-scale musical for the smaller confines of the Goodspeed stage without sacrificing the show’s emotional core or beautifully realized dance numbers.

The show, with a score by Elton John and Lee Hall, tells the story of 13-year-old Billy Elliott (at this performance played by Liam Vincent Hutt) who, through inadvertent circumstances, becomes enrolled in an afterschool ballet class. His talent soon becomes apparent to his tough-minded instructor, Mrs. Wilkinson (Michelle Aravena), who begins to groom him for a tryout with the Royal Ballet unbeknownst to his widowed, disapproving father (Sean Hayden) and older brother. The story is played out against the political backdrop of the 1984-85 miner’s strike in northern England, which left villages like this one in County Durham, impoverished and in dire straits.
Lee Hall, who wrote the book of the show, lyrics and the original screenplay for the 2000 movie the musical is based on, has created a story that is full of passion, emotional highs and lows, and adversity. He has fashioned full-bodied characters that can pull at our heartstrings. The social forces within the country at the time are fully realized and add a hard-edged and cynical layer to the show.

The songs by Elton John and Lee Hall can be intoxicating, uplifting, and bring a tear to the eye. Standouts include the political-laden “Solidarity,” the high-spirited “Expressing Yourself,” and the boundless exuberance of “Electricity.”
The choreography by Marc Kimelman can be fun-loving (“Shine”), rambunctious (“Expressing Yourself”), breathtaking and captivating (“Dream Sequence”). The “Dream Sequence” is a stunning piece of work that left me numb with exhilaration. There are some miscues in the choreography, as in the disjointed “Angry Dance,” but, overall, the jazz, tap, and ballet numbers are at an exceptional level that elevates the production to dizzying heights.

The cast is led by Liam Vincent Hutt as Billy. He has a youthful vitality and brings a sustained energy to the role. His dancing ability is exceptional. The young actor needs to be the focus of the musical and he does not disappoint. Michelle Aravena delivers a world-weariness to the role of Mrs. Wilkinson, but also imbues in her a degree of strength and resilence. Sean Hayden is persuasive and compelling as Billy’s father, a man trying to provide for his family and hold it together during trying times. Jon Martens, who plays Billy’s best friend, Michael, injects humor and an endearing goofiness into his portrayal. He too is no slouch on the dance floor. Nick Silverio deserves special mention as the older Billy. His duet with Liam Vincent Hutt in the “Dream Ballet” was awe-inspiring.
In the program notes, Director Gabriel Barre states the show is about “finding your purpose and summoning the courage necessary to follow your dreams and create your own destiny.” This distillation of the plot is fully realized by Barre as he skillfully guides the sizeable cast on the small Goodspeed stage. An impressive example is rendered during “Solidarity,” when the miners, police, Billy and the girls in his ballet class weave in and out from each other, confront, and dance. The director keeps the emotional impact high and has added some well-placed flourishes that greatly enhance scenes such as adding a chorus of dancing girls in a dreamlike sequence to “Expressing Yourself.”
Walt Spangler’s Scenic Design are impressive for their variety and size, which includes a very convincing miner’s elevator, a ramshackle dance studio, and even a giant Margaret Thatcher puppet. Jen Shapiro’s Costume Designs are fittingly apropos for the environs.

TMZ video footage sees Brand showing the video message to the audience and then responding, "No way in the world would I ever disrespect any comedian."
He goes on to blame Davidson's security guard for making him say what he said. "If you've got a bad security guy, you should fire your goddamn security guy."
Brand goes on praise himself for supporting Davidson's career at an early stage and for texting him when he was "having trouble" last year.
He closed out by warning that even "the craziest fucking woman" shouldn't date Davidson.
Watch footage of Davidson's video message and Brand's onstage response below.
Earlier this year, Davidson kicked a heckler out of his show for mentioning Grande's late ex-boyfriend Mac Miller.

The Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act, 2010 (“the Act of 2010”) was enacted to address domestic violence in Bangladesh. The Act is preventive and protective in nature.
If we categorically analyse the Act of 2010 we would find that in its preamble the Act makes it clear for what reasons the authorities enacted this law. In the preamble of the Act it is stated that the Act is enacted to establish equal rights for women and children guaranteed in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. More precisely it was enacted to prevent domestic violence and to protect women and children from domestic violence.
The purpose of the Act is dignified and righteous. However, if we evaluate in what extent the provisions of the Act serve its purposes in that case we would find that it frustrated almost all of its purposes. This is because domestic violence defined in section 3 of the Act failed to clear the confusion about domestic violence offence and family agony. In our country it is customary that parents and guardian have the right to chastise their children and husbands have the right to castigate their wives in order to correct their mistakes. The Act falls short to define in what extent they can exercise this right. Person of evil mind always try to take advantage of this phenomenon of the society.
It failed to define domestic violence comprehensively and to differentiate domestic violence offence and family agony. If section 3 of the Act of 2010 clarifies this thing in that case this type of misuse can be prevented. Except this when any family member commits domestic violence unintentionally exceeding his governing power of his family member, in that case in what way his act of domestic violence would be treated that should be determined. Also this Act itself recognised its weakness in section 35 describing that the provisions of this Act shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of the provisions of any other law, for the time being in force. The objectives of the enactment of the Act are contemplated in the preamble of the same.
The Act provided the duties and responsibilities of police officer, enforcement officer, service provider, shelter homes and medical service providers.
And also prescribes punishment for them in case of failure of performance of these duties assigned on them. Further it contains about rights and remedies of domestic violence victims such as interim protection order, protection order, residence order, compensation order, and custody order. It also deals about the trial proceeding of the offence committed in violation of the provision(s) of the same.
Though the offences defined in the Act are compoundable but the same did not impose any responsibility on the judge or magistrate to take initiative in this behalf. The prime objective of enacting this law is not to punish domestic violence offenders; rather its latent objective is to protect the women and children from the offence of domestic violence. This objective can only be obtained if the domestic violence case can be solved in an amicable way. In fact long hurdle of trial proceeding of the offence of domestic violence shall cause immense sufferings of both victim and offender that may increase enmity between them. Offence of domestic violence is the behavioural problem of the offender that may be cured by counselling. However, the Act has not any provision for counselling both offender and victim of domestic violence.
This drawback hinders the ultimate purpose of enactment of this law. At present Bangladesh has also legislation named Nari-o-shishu Nirjatan Daman Ain, 2000. This Act also deals with extreme form of domestic violence. In that case, a question may arise “what is the necessity of this Act?” As the first one provides more harsh punishment, it is a trend to go for trial for domestic violence under Nari-o-shishu Nirjatan Daman Ain, 2000.
Domestic violence is a much more than complicated social and cultural diseases that must ultimately be fought by a combination of legal means, social movements and religious concern. No legal tools can be effective to fight against the domestic violence against women and children without mass social movements engaging all classes of people. To promote equal treatment of women prevent them from domestic violence, the government of Bangladesh must commit to ensuring a number of prerequisites. These include gender equality; improvement of service delivery (ensuring access to justice and services for victims, e.g. women’s refuges and shelters); the allocation of adequate resources and funding to women; promoting women entrepreneurship through financial aid, ensuring that victims of violence have access to immediate means of redress, rehabilitation and protection and establishing transparency and accountability in order to enforce positive regulations and legislations.

I receive many requests via FB for analysis. I receive so many, in fact, that many go unread. Until a few months ago, I did not know a folder existed where people who are not "friends" with me have written to me, including journalists who I have subsequently apologized to for not getting back to them.
I had received a large number of requests on Madden. Until yesterday, I had not heard of this case and the analysis, although simple, shows what "guilty language" looks like.
The statistics of the blog show an increase in traffic from the Amanda Blackburn case. This murder case, above many others, has caught the nation's attention.
The first person to contact me did so as a friend and a devoted Christian who had come across the horror but then was "bothered" by the reaction from the husband, who is a pastor. Raised in Christian faith, herself, it was most "unexpected" to her. Knowing her as one who is not suspicious by nature, I read the statement.
I was 'confronted' by the lack of emotional connection to the victim by a husband, and the theme of "moving on" for the sake of his career. I knew that he would have to be cleared by police as the course of the investigation and due to the years of association with various Domestic Violence advocates, I was aware of the statistics that point to the death of a pregnant woman with the husband/boyfriend as primary suspect.
The statement was nothing I had expected from a husband, but even more so from his profession. My instinct was, "narcissistic-sounding' and ambitious.
I then was pointed to his church's videos.
There, I was shocked.
Without belaboring the point, if I were a debater of Christianity, I wouldn't use the videos as proof; they would represent 'straw men' arguments, or a caricature and would consider this akin to saying, "If you wish to know the average German today, look at Adolf Hitler." It is not just wrong, it is inherently weak.
The videos showed two things:
1. The performance
2. The words chosen
I am not a body language analyst expert and in an interview, should a woman cry, I close my eyes or look away, and listen only to the words chosen, lest I be emotionally taken off the path to truth.
When a 7 year old's leg twitches, he may be on Ritalin.
When a woman sneers, she may have a sinus condition.
I have seen the rise and fall of the popularity of "Lie To Me" which followed the same with profiling and "Silence of the Lambs."
Lie Detection is hard work and takes formal training, years of practice, and intense follow up training.
When I post analysis, I recognize that anyone in the public can read it, and when the topic is popular, many will read it and this includes experience investigators, peers (analysts), criminologists, psychologists, legal experts, linguistic experts, and so on.
When I post a strong conclusion, which I do in perhaps, more than 90% of the time, I have a need to be accurate.
Here, the analysis shows deception via withholding information and guilt; though the source of guilt remains unknown; that is, unknown with certainty.
*Is it guilt of association with the killers? The killers, if members of a gang, likely do not know Davey Blackburn; therefore, have no connection to him, but if sent deliberately to this home, collateral theft, the open door, the lengthy phone conversation while remaining outside the house, as well as the larger context of bad marriage, including pregnancy, come into focus. This association would produce the guilt within language, as well as reiteration of the pronoun "us" as plural, with "for us, we have nothing to hide."
If it is guilt of association, the association could take weeks or months to learn with the 'code of silence' difficult to break; especially if those directly involved did not know for whom they were sent. This is something that the phrase, "code of silence" suggests;
it is not likely that neighbors, themselves, would remain 'silent' if they, themselves, experienced home invasions (very personal) and spoke collectively, (empowering). Victims of gang violence who remain silent due so because they are personally threatened. If you put them together, they are incapable of keeping the secret.
1. It is human nature to communicate
2. Being personally invaded is intense, increasing anger and rage;
3. Being connected with others (plural) gives strength.
Silence is all but impossible.
If there is an association, it will be difficult to obtain, and would take infiltration of the gang or in the least, closeness.
If exists, the senior gang member who was behind this will boast.
If it is not guilt of association, could it be guilt of an opportunist?
There is nothing I could write, or anyone could say, that will cause the victim's husband to stop promotion. He was incapable of concealing his priority from his first statement, on down, even though this 'corrected' statements, where he knew of the 'internet trolls' and came out with a complete social introduction and the strong word, "killed" and even used the pronoun "I" with more frequency.
Even here, he was incapable of concealing his priority of language: promotion of his career.
There is nothing in the language to suggest an ability to stop using her death as a crass advertisement with "the best is yet to come" with its incessant promise of improvement of this life, which, by necessity , must weaken over time, if one considers his negative view of eternity in light of earthly success.
*Would guilt over capitalizing upon her death produce the linguistic change?
I do not see it as being powerful enough to eject the pronoun "I" from his language.
I consider a combination of factors that should be further examined in a larger context of guilt:
What if one not only feels a sense of guilt or shame due to capitalizing on his wife's death, but also feels the guilt of having a profound sense of relief that the death has spared him the possible divorce?
Repeatedly, investigators and commentators have said: 'this guy is not sad she is gone', to which the language agrees. It is like the one who goes to a lawyer's office to receive word of a huge inheritance amongst a crowd of people wearing black, who deeply loved the deceased, while the one, dressed in sneakers and jeans, has to conceal his joy, glad the rich one is gone, but even happier at the windfall.
Could the combination of these factors contribute to the guilty language?
It takes an awful lot to use:
b. pronouns where one 'hides' among others
Pronouns are powerfully intuitive so the constant, "we are feeling" and "we are puzzled" combines with the extreme distancing of "the family is devastated" (which directly avoids saying, "I am devastated!") but then to say:
"we" will "dialog" with their child.
Teachers, social workers, and other profesionals "dialog" with children of others.
It is part of the ritual of gang membership survival in prison to not disclose the involvement of others. To do so would be to sentence oneself to "hell within hell" in prison.
It is not likely that the three in custody will give up anyone, and even if a non-shooter is offered no prison time, he still would have to return to his neighborhood as one who told: this is not going to happen.
Human nature is human nature.
When you read the New York Times saying "women and children refugees from war torn Syria.." and you see the actual video of 70-90% young male, you know you've been lied to. But when these young males land in European countries but protest and riot, demanding to go to only Germany or Sweden, you may ask "Why?", given that they come from different countries and races. The women and children are left in Syria to fend for themselves and the soldiers have stated that the country is not worth fighting for but something else is worth the violence:
Yet, human nature is your best guide. Germany and Sweden offer the most money.
When you see human nature before you, you may either observe and accept, carefully attempting to not project yourself into their language, or you can simply listen and watch and learn.
Gang violence has elements of human nature that are constantly on display, including factors of self interest while maintaining loyalty, and its own code of conduct. The only way to break that code is to make human nature's self interest appear pragmatically first in priority: not a reduced prison sentence, but a free pass and a free trip to another state in another name with money, was the tool to break mafia-like concerted violent activity.
You must understand, even in a limited degree, human nature in order to properly align "the expected" in any allegation.
Although severely ilmited in percentage, there have been comments in defense of the victim's husband's language as the language of "faith", which, in one sense, is very important.
We should listen to his language from his perspective.
This was especially pointed out by investigators who are people of faith who said, "I'm not buying it."
To them, the language was 'surreal' and 'bizarre' ranging from "how can anyone still be selling while his wife's killers are on the loose?" to " nope. no way. The coincedence? No one is that lucky."
To consider the victim's husband "lucky", one must already think:
This death actually pleases him.
Herein lies exactly why this case has caught the attention of the nation in a very powerful way.
Think: Scott Peterson.
S. PETERSON: I had nothing to do with Laci's disappearance. Even if think I did, think about Laci. And I know that there's a nation that wants to bring her home to our families.
Peterson's pregnant wife, Laci, was missing, and Peterson, like Blackburn, went from TV show to TV show and spoke in grandiose terms, without connecting himself strongly to her.
People across the nation, without training, grit their collective teeth.
"I don't know. This guy just gets me so angry...."
Peterson, too, knew the "nation" was watching him.
When Peterson was eventually arrested, people were not shocked and all the video "performances" were played again. They now knew what readers of Statement Analysis had already known.
The body language analysts came out of the woodwork with "I told you so!", yet, few actually did...before the arrest.
"Psychopath!"
Scott Peterson's language was that of "anti-social narcissistic' type or 'sociopathic' with 'narcissistic elements.' His marriage? He said, "glorious is a word that comes to mind."
For Peterson, a divorce was not only costly but 18 years of chid support awaited him.
Peterson brought suspicion to himself via his words.
Davey? Or, in the words of his mentor, "Crazy Davey"?
The cause of the "internet trolls", which is the words of the mentor, is Davey Blackburn, himself.
Once others were arrested, we heard the "experts" make pronouncements on how they 'knew' that he was not connected and "statement analysis is helpful but..."
"Psychopaths don't feel guilt"
Go back to Peterson.
Anti-social, sociopathic, etc...all feel the internal stress of lying as not only a disruption of the speed of processing language, but they are stressed at the thought of being caught, inclining being seen
as a liar.
Davey Blackburn is the architect of suspicion, so much so, that police have said he was "100%" not involved, and made arrests of those involved and people are still suspicious.
Who are these "people"?
The public, including those who's life work it is to:
a. understand language
b. understand people
c. investigate crime
d. investigate murder
It includes people of all ranges of ages and intellect, by sheer volume alone.
What does this tell you about Blackburn's language?
His language is so extreme that even those without formal training, suspect a connection, and even official police "clearing" and arrests have done little to reduce suspicion.
Davey Blackburn is the source of suspicion; not Fox News, nor 'internet trolls', though one may consider the mentor's call for apology a slick opportunist element as the inevitable pattern of human nature may now become visible:
Student adoration of Mentor
Student studies and learns Mentor
Student comes to the eventual independence of Mentor, with continued guidance.
Student relies less and less on Mentor.
Mentor senses the 'divorce'
Student and Mentor eventually face off in competition.
How will Mentor react when Student's book becomes "best seller" at Amazon?
How will Mentor react when Hollywood announces "Amanda's Story" will be made into a movie, starring a handsome young actor as Davey?
Human Nature will, once again, rise and be heard in the language, with the most important word of the sentence being, "but."
Follow the pronouns, too. Human nature has a funny way of dealing with it, too.
"We are so pleased that Amanda's Story will now be told to an entire nation to the glory of God but I hope it will be accurate..."
Some people will hear or read that and say, "Yes, I hope it is accurate too" but others will see this:
""We are so pleased that Amanda's Story will now be told to an entire nation to the glory of God but I hope it will be accurate..."
Some will have heard..."Someone's envy is creeping out..."
Human nature.
"The Sinfulness of Sin" being so deeply embedded within human nature that even while guilty, it can present itself as righteousness.
A father told me he had not molested his child, he was "showing her" what "they" do, and was being a really "good father" so that she could protect herself.
We all reveal our understanding of human nature in our language.
Recently in a discussion about unjust laws being passed in history, I commented upon the topic of 'pendulum swing back' in human nature, which says:
'...unjustly punish a people long enough and eventually, their patience will run out and they will kick back. When they kick back, they will likely go too far. '
This is something your mother (or now, your grandmother) told you long ago: "Two wrongs do not make a right."
Laws that are passed which use the same "wrong" to correct an actual wrong are doomed to not only failure, but provocation.
In Blackburn's language, Christianity had little connection with the reality of human nature, while in Amanda's father's language, it was the source of what he looked forward to: conquering the hate and anger and rage and guilt he felt.
Parents who lose their children to cancer have guilt in their language, as if they 'could have' done something differently. Some will even torment themselves with what foods they fed their child. One even blamed himself for moving to a certain town that had "lots of electrical power lines." In other words, their imaginations were so extreme that they made foolish connections to their own child's illness.
This is the very human nature Solomon highlighted.
Two women gave birth to sons. Both similar in age, complexion and there is no mention of DNA or paternity testing as one rolled over upon her son, smothering him to death and stole the others, as they lived together in the same tent.
The local magistrates could not discern as both claimed ownership of the child, which led to the eventual appellate system's highest court: King Solomon.
What is too often missed in the great Solomonic decision of exploitation of human nature for lie detection is, perhaps, the most important aspect:
Human speech.
Solomon called for a sword and said to his guard to cut the baby in half and give them each half a baby.
One woman agreed, while the other shrieked and said, "No! Just give the baby to her!" which showed that there was a more powerful connection to a biological baby by its mother than exhibited in a mother who not only was lying, but who had recently suffered a tragedy and was either numbed by it, or murderously calloused in character.
Solomon had no intention of committing murder in his court.
Instead, he highlighted what is, in deed, highlighted in the very Book Blackburn quotes from:
language reveals us.
Language reveals what one is thinking.
"Tell us plainly, are you the King of the Jews?" was the charge, under oath.
"You have said it":
'Your own words have framed it. This truth has come out of the mouth of the accuser.'
The human heart is very deep and beyond exhaustive understanding. Denial, for example, is a powerful element.
When a young woman is perilously close to death by starvation and looks into the mirror and sees "grotesque obesity", we insist, and rightfully so, that professional intervention is needed. Her brain processes what her eyes see as "overweight" to the point of such "disgust", that her appetite shuts down and she slowly dies.
From this abundance, or great volume of the "heart", that is the "intellect" and the "emotions", the words come forth and they reveal the truth.
Solomon had no intention on murder.
Why did he call for this object lesson?
Because his audience did not listen to the women and his audience did not listen to his words, either.
This is an early historical example of "dulled listening" and is why, before he called for the object lesson, he repeated the arguments from each mother.
Their own words told us their priorities, but only if we are listening.
When my kids were little, I used to "amaze" them in opening Christmas gifts that said,
"To Peter and Heather, from Grandpa and Grandma" because I would then say,
"I think...hmm....(staring at the box, feigning psychic powers), I shall be the one to open this one!" and, lo and behold, (or behold and lo), the gift was something I would want far more than Heather.
Next gift,
"To Heather and Peter, Love Grandma and Grandpa" but this time,
I halted on the order of the names, AND I emphasized "love" instead of "from", to give the little ones the 'hint':
I then placed the package beneath my nose, like a bloodhound on a scent and said,
"I believe that I should not open this gift" and handed to Heather as the little ones were wide eyed with marvel:
As Heather opened the gift, it was something, likely, for the kitchen as she is an excellent baker and cake designer.
"Wowwwwwwww, Dad!!"
Dads only hold that vaunted status for a short time, but thankfully, get to regain it with grandchildren.
My next performance is but a few years hence.
Blackburn's own statements have been his best public relations as the free publicity, especially in the negative, will only increase sales.
The mentor is of strong intellect and he recognizes the power of "victim status" and how this phenomena both unites and empowers, howbeit unjustly, but why let a bit of ethics stand between today's headline and tomorrow's goal of New York Times Bestseller?
The publicity is good, and the negative publicity even better.
Mohammad Ali did not need a public relations team to churn up interest for his fights. This was a needless expense.
Bob Dylan kept reporters following him, digging through his garbage and hiding out on the roof of his house (literally) by refusing to give interviews, but when he did, he spoke in such 'hip cryptic language' that his 'followers' were left puzzled, trying to analyze his every word, which...
sold quite a few records.
Even Stephen King puzzled over "the Gates of Eden", instead of simply watching the hollywood movies that influenced Dylan's language. Fans were disappointed when, in 2005, they found a beautiful song of his had been directly lifted from Confederate poetry.
Today, celebrities often stage "outrageous behavior" to keep interest long past the limitations of talent. In a game of "can you top this?" America went from Elvis suggestively shaking his hips to Miley Cyrus. The intent has always been the same.
Sex sells and Shock sells so why not combine the two?
Blackburn "preaches" in jeans and tight shirts. "Whatever it takes" is his ideology and he is no so much obsessed with sex as he is obsessed with success. He is very intelligent and he knows that "sex sells" and so he talks about sex. Howbeit, at age 30, he is quite limited naturally, and he appears to not grasp sexuality as the Scripture explains it, so he does what comes most natural to him:
he talks about himself, and his own sex drive and while he is talking, we learn the truth:
The contempt he holds towards Amanda.
This is a repeated theme.
He states it openly in his videos, but then he explains the source of it: both in relation to his career and his own sex drive. Had he been a licensed therapist, using his own sex life would have put his license in jeopardy. This is why I wrote "inadvertent grooming of young people" by both choreographed "performance" and language: it may not be his intention, but he is using "word pictures" and "visual imagery" to convey his message of his powerful sex drive; so powerful, in fact, that he is incapable of concentrating on his wife's words.
The insult was deep and it was public.
This, too, is what has caused professional investigators to say, "I am not buying it!" and "He is selling, but I'm not buying."
He is the sole source of suspicion.
It was not Jeanine Shapiro who publicly spoke about how 'inadequate' Amanda was.
It was not Megyn Kelly who flashed a gun during a video performance days before her spouse was killed by a gun.
The Mentor needs to be careful here. He has shown his failure to grasp Hebrew and he may now show a failure of grasping human nature, too.
By calling out a national news agency, he is using "national" to broaden his exposure.
What if the agency refuses to apologize?
Will he back it up with a suit?
Here is where it gets interesting.
Imagine, for a moment, the defense using these video tapes and coincidental nature of the crime asking a jury, "What are the odds?"
Who also might be listening to the defense?
Amanda's family left bereft of their lovely and Godly daughter and of whom they may experience difficulties in seeing Weston as often as they want to, due to Davey's fame and book tour and his new girlfriend and...
They might hear the powerful defense arguments and begin to think...
They could seek justice the way that OJ Simpsons' victims family did:
To be held civilly accountable for her death.
Think of the pendulum or the metronome that sits upon your piano in your living room.
It swings one way and the more powerful the swing, the more powerful the backlash.
If they see Davey and Mentor beginning a national tour of competition at the expense of their daughter, they will experience negative emotions.
It is human nature.
Suspicion can destroy. Even Elvis sang, "we can't go on with suspicious minds..." as it eats away at confidence and any single event can cause it to rise to the surface, even if the event is unrelated. It is a powerful human emotion that can either be
starved with truth,
or fed with silence.
You may wonder how it is that when Brittany Spears went to Burger King and a Barber Shop to shave her head who called the paparazzi to arrive just in time?
"Reality" tv shows are anything but, yet, though I do not watch them (yesterday, I missed a powerful "honey boo boo" comical reference about giving Mountain Dew soda to a child), I recognize that they must be selling, lest they be canceled. Apparently, America loved an overweight, rude uncivilized family implode in sexual abuse. I had no interest until the implosion of statements as people asked, "Did the mother know?"
The analysis said, "yes she did."
The story then caught my interest, too.
Like the train wreck we all know we should look away, we attempted to look away but Davey yelled at us, "Don't look away! You must see this!" with his bizarre "moving on", and "laugh" and dishonest abuse of Christian faith. One devout Christian said to me, "The 'jesus' of Davey Blackburn has no resemblance to the Christ of John the Baptist's description."
John the Baptist's clothing was symbolic of his nature: he did not seek "Front and Center", nor did he wear tight bi-cep fitting shirts to highlight his weight lifting. In fact, his words mirror what Davey said was the "best thing" about Amanda.
John said, "I must decrease, that He may increase", seeking less popularity for himself.
Davey said the "best" thing about Amanda was that she did not want to compete with Davey for:
"Front and Center."
I continue to assert that I do not know the source of the powerful guilt evident in the language of Blackburn and use Hillary Clinton's example:
When her husband ran for office of President of the United States, Gennifer Flowers came forward and accused him of wrongdoing which prompted Hillary's defense:
'When the man I love and the man I respect is attacked, I will...'
The pronoun "I" is the most used word in English language. It is powerful. How powerful? It is as powerful as one's own inclusion in life, itself, as language is the verbalized perception of reality.
But after 6 years of allegations of affairs, the powerful emotional devastation of years of betrayal impacted the language:
After the Monica Lewinsky 'admission', Hillary said,
'When the man you respect and the man you love is attacked....'
It took years and much pain to eject the pronoun "I" from her language.
Longterm readers here are well familiar with the many statements where the guilty went to the pronoun "we", where readers longed to ask, "Hey, you, who is this 'we' you're talking about?"
In my own interviewing, when a subject has used "we" where no one else was in the room, I have stayed silent. This was a powerful signal of guilt which eventually led to admissions.
In a theft interview from a nursing home, the staffer said,
"We didn't take anything."
In the interview room, it was just her, me and the tape recorder on the table.
"We were reimbursed by check."
I did not ask who "we" was...yet.
In theft, human nature will do whatever it can to not only 'share' guilt but also 'hide' in a crowd, no different than a child.
Yet there is something else to consider in theft, sex abuse, child murders, and so much else:
The human nature will do almost anything to reduce guilt, including:
justification.
This is a powerful element of human nature.
Madden: "she was looking for..." stopped in self-censoring. Too many child molesters have told me that the child 'asked for it' or was 'looking' for a sexual 'encounter'.
Shaken baby?
"The baby would not stop crying" is to blame the baby.
Human nature even can blame a child for a parent striking out:
'It's not my fault, the baby would not stop crying,' with some young mothers even saying 'she is faking it. I know her cries. She is doing it on purpose to get on my nerves' as if an infant's intentions were known and justified an angry response.
In older abused (or murdered children), "Oh she was great and I loved her but you know hormones...." as a subtle shifting of blame upon the victim.
Human nature will go a very long way to convince one's own self that its unrighteous behavior is righteous. This is how 'wicked' wickedness is. It is never content, and even while 'accepting' responsibility, it is shifting it, just as quickly.
If police eventually arrest Blackburn because a tie to the gang was found, there will not likely be a populous "shock" from the nation. A few Monday morning quarterbacks, yes, but most people will not likely be surprised.
If the guilt is solely from capitalization, I will be surprised.
If the guilt in language is from a large combination of factors, including a cocktail of:
capitalization, relief, and having a quick Amanda replacement on the sideline, I won't be surprised.
Guilt can range from inappropriate guilt (like the parent of a sick child) to mild and common, ('if only I had not gone to the gym') to powerful.
The language here was so powerful that the news agency picked up on it, beyond the simple crime statistic that says husbands and boyfriends are often involved in the murder of pregnant women.
The source of the language was the victim's husband.
If blame is to be assigned for Fox News having doubts, far more than the statistics, the blame rests at the feet of the victim's husband.
It was his words that caused the nation to react as it has.
Peter Hyatt as Statement Analysis Blog at 11:36 AM
As someone who lives in the Upstate of SC and followed the career of the Mentor, this is all very disturbing. I would say the Mentor is extremely narcissistic, who constantly needs attention and reassurance. I've watched him say somethI got controversial, then when he is called out on it, he rallies his troops to take up for him and tell him how great he is. It sickens me to see so many people here in this state fall for this never-ending show. He is not a nice person, and if you read the Pajama Pages blog you will see how petty the organization is. I've followed the Blackburn case from the beginning and feel there is so much more. I will be surprised at nothing
Sorry autocorrect messes up sometimes. It is supposed to be "something controversial"
Im not religious at all, but I have to say that still of DB waving his handgun on a stage (no doubt in the name of his God who seems very flexible) looks to me as though he's either
1. a deeply disturbed individual
2. possessed by demons (that I don't believe in)
3. a psychopathic, narcissistic completely out of touch IDIOT who lives in a bubble of his own Fabulousness
Pick one...or maybe 2...or maybe all 3
And you can add in Wife Murderer besides.
BL said...
Peter thank you -- this is so helpful and fascinating. I dread the thought that we may never see justice mirror what the language is telling us (i.e., Casey Anthony, the Ramseys ...) but prefer to think that truth will win out and we will all have a clear cut revelation of everything that really went on here.
I think God told him to do it. I'm not joking. I think he could believe that God told him to do something, therefore he should do it. What sort of mental illness would it be then?
Psychopathy.
Which I'm not sure is even a Mental Illness rather a condition one is born with or develops over time.
One thing's for sure - Davey Blackburn and his God are very very close
God forgives EVERYTHING DB tells us. No sin too great.
@ Louise K 12:24 PM -
I would add a fourth-
#4. a con artist
Just looking through Facebook - a female friend of Alonzo Bull is also a friend of someone listed as a friend to DB.
Maggie.
Colour me surprised.
NOT****
I KNEW there had to be a connection there somewhere
If we know so do Police
Wouldn't wanna be ya Davey Boy
Has he been on teev again yesterday? #readyformycloseup
"Nothing Wasted"
Welp I have this here wife I no longer want or need
How best to Not Waste this situation eh...?
Maggie-
Who do they have in common?
Maggie, take screen shots!
Now we know why DB thinks its okay to wave handguns around on stage...
YoMa said...
So close they may be one and the same.
There have been MANY outrageous lies posted in the attempt to prove Davey must have killed Amanda. Post ghetto thug Alonzo Bull's Facebook address, so others can see this alleged friend association with Davey.
Maggie, pls be sure to communicate that to detective Craig Converse, IMPD
Where is the post showing the Facebook address of Alonzo Bull, so all can see this alleged connection between Alonzo and Davey Blackburn? Post the proof or you're a liar.
"There have been MANY outrageous lies posted in the attempt to prove Davey must have killed Amanda."
I admit there have been some bizarre and embarrassing conjectures in the comments. I just come here for the statement analysis. But you have to admit, peoples' minds are going in that direction because his response to his wife's murder has been so strange. He has not shown stress or grief, has continually put himself in the spotlight to exploit this tragedy for his own/his church's gain, and has used language that the guilty usually do. I stop there. Conjecture about what or how things may have happened is not statement analysis and you'll notice Peter is not writing such things, he is sticking to the statements, which speak for themselves.
Interview with DB:
Speaking of his son he says Weston is a "perfect baby" because he "sleeps all the time." Goes on to say of Weston, "He's just a doll, just love him" while shaking his head *NO*.
Here's my two cents worth.
* There has been sustained, hateful commentary not just speculating about but asserting Davey Blackburn's guilt. So far, he has been accused of adultery with their baby-sitter, with Amanda's sister, and with a gay lover. He has been accused of sexually assaulting his wife, bludgeoning her, and ordering her murder-for-hire. He has been accused of arranging for her hit and then callously sitting outside while his wife inside bleeds out.
* He has been accused of hating his wife. Human nature is complex. It is possible for human beings to love someone while also envying them, resenting them, or whatever. It is not a binary; it is conflictive. He has also at times expressed love and affection for Amanda.
Here's the problem. While his speech and pulpit antics are terribly problematic, to my knowledge there is not a single shred of physical, tangible evidence on offer which connects Pastor Davey Blackburn to this crime.
Given this, and until such evidence is offered, I think the mentor's complaint about internet trolls has merit and we should aim, as Peter does, for more temperance in our comments.
Anyone notice that on AB's Instagram (wonder if DB posted for her) she posts a picture c of her year old with no clothes on and the hashtag
#onedayhesgoingtokillme
There is no link between Alonzo Bull and Davey Blackburn on Facebook. None.
Watch closely as a few venomous snakes will quickly create fake Facebook evidence to try to link these two males.
KNOW that i will report your fake Facebook pages by email correspondence with Facebook monitors. I will insist that your personal Facebook page using the same IP number is also removed. Lying does not help Amanda. Lying is evil.
Although I don't have time to read all the comments, I have not come across, nor heard referenced, any "lies" told to prove anything.
Davey brought suspicion on himself:
1. By being the husband
This is natural and Fox News' reference point
2. By his language.
This was and remains bizarre.
Speaking only for myself, I offer this:
Police are actively investigating to learn if the husband can be connected to the gang that killed his wife.
Even the most ardent of Davey supporters can grasp this. The coincidental nature of the crime and its timing demands investigation.
He then issued a challenge of sorts when he said, "We have nothing to hide", and spoke "for us", not himself, nor for someone UNASSOCIATED with himself. This is to, linguistically, draw attention to himself in specific connection to at least one other person. It is his language, not mine, and not yours, nor anyone else's.
I have been 'on the fence' on this and statements made subsequently to my initial suspicion has caused me to lean even more so to suspicion. This is why I say, "yes, the guilt could be an acute combination of factors, including girlfriend, bad marriage, not locking door and his incapability to restrain his professional ambition. It is possible.
Or it is possible that he may be connected.
That he specifically complained about his wife and sex bothers me that she was found almost naked. It is just "another" in a long string of coincidental facts about this case.
As one detective just kept on asking, "What are the odds?"
@BallBounces
Don't forget that these same pukes also lied and said Davey's pupils were dilated implying that he is on drugs.
@Peter
Facebook won't provide me with anyone's IP number. They will remove fake pages and then remove Facebook pages associated with that same IP number.
DB is friends with someone named TRJ who is friends with a girl BW. BW is also friends with Alonzo. Don't know how much more I can post.
Not a lie. Look for yourselves.
https://www.facebook.com/daveyblackburn/friends_current_city
A man publicly states how bad his marriage is, how pregnancy made it worse and publicly speaks of his sexual drive.
His wife is then found murdered.
Given the crime statistic of husbands/boyfriend being the # 1 killer,
I don't find anything hateful about speculating on THE VERY TOPICS the subject raised publicly.
Who introduced sex?
Blackburn.
The victim was reported by media sexually assaulted, and later corrected to almost naked.
Every murder case of a pregnant woman is going to begin with the husband/boyfriend and is going to speculate on how and why the victim was murdered.
When someone publicly and repeatedly talks about his own sexuality, his own sexuality will be discussed.
I again admit that I do not read all the comments but the volunteers have have said that they have only had a low number of deletions.
If this was not associated with ministry, would the News "owe" an apology for questioning?
I do not know if Davey Blackburn will be connected to the gang, nor if he has any association or guilty knowledge of the murder, but each topic that you mentioned, sex, infidelity, babysitter, as well as car, telephone, career, and so on, are all part of a 'normal' questioning that people do in every public case.
Investigators ask these same questions in every homicide: life insurance, love triangle, and so on. These are associated with murders.
By the way, I may be accused of introducing the topic of "life insurance" in this case.
1. Davey introduced it to my vocabulary in his own public video
2. Every murder case that has a life insurance policy has a life insurance policy investigation conducted.
BB, I find your posts interesting. I have not seen, perhaps, what you have, but thus far, my only concern has been the relatively few comments which used this murder as a agenda of hatred against Christianity. They have been deleted, including some who do it in a passive-aggressive manner.
If there is personal hateful "trolling", I hope we will delete them all, but thus far, there have not been many, only a few "all ministers..." and "all religious people..." type of nonsense.
I found it Maggie :) It's easiest to search DB FB for someone with the name starting with B and last name starting with W. Once you find him, you can search BW's page for Alonzo.
Actually, Facebook has a very low standard for removing pages. As long as it is legal they leave it up.
But that is not relevant to Davey Blackburn's unexpected words and actions.
Someone should forward this friend link to LE. It may mean nothing--only they can determine that.
I also notice how this "anonymous" went straight up to hysterical at the mentioned idea that DB has a common FB friend with someone named in the probably cause affadavit.
One link I see between Alonzo Bull and Resonate is location, neighborhood, hood. According to his FB profile Alonzo "attends" North Central High School. Does this mean he still does? FB puts activities in the present unless the user gives a closing date. In any case, Alonzo knows young people who have come up through North View and North Central High.
Who is Alonzo Bull and how is he connected???
Anon 02:11 i think it means a lot personally, as evidenced by how upset some commentators have got just for even bringing up the link.....
TRJ also has Davey Blackburn in his friends list. . .
Alonzo and the guy on Davey's friend list....it says they have 171 mutual friend...hmm, that's interesting. https://www.facebook.com/lilzo.upt?and=treezy.jones.3
Someone posted a lie on this thread that Davey Blackburn was linked to Alonzo Bull on Facebook. Try to find that link, Peter, You can't. Alonzo doesn't have a public FB page and DB has about 3000 friends. That was a lie.
I am attempting to keep some very vicious women from creating fake FB pages to link Davey Blackburn to Alonzo the murderer just because they don't like him. fI don't like him either, but I will report their fake FB pages deleted because it's EVIL to create fake evidence and lie.
Skepktic said...
If a person truly believes that God has called them to do something (like secretly have their wife killed), would that have any unique effects on their statements? Is there anything to look for in their language that would point to an underlying belief like this? It seems everything that comes out of his mouth is related to Jesus and God. No matter what the question was he quickly rolls back around to God and Jesus. Is he subconsciously ipointing the finger at God? Does he think God is responsible for this, and who is anybody to judge God's wisdom?
https://www.facebook.com/lilzo.upt?and=treezy.jones.3
There is nothing on this page except the thug's ugly photo. There is nothing there to link Davey Blackburn to the murderer. There is nothing that says they have 171 friends in common STOP LYING.
Skeptic,
What we look for is that guilt would:
minimize or negate the action ;
very subtly blame the victim.
In the case of faith, "God", by definition, controls all, and therefore, 'If God allowed this to happen, and could have intervened but did not, such as having Davey stay home from the gym, and God is good', the person, no matter how great the suffering, is called on to trust that something this terrible will, in fact, prove to make sense in eternity.
The "best is yet to come" is something that we do not expect to hear mere days after a murder as it would appear that faith has "completely negated human emotion."
It comes from the initial definition of "God" for him, as well as anyone else.
Every guilt person wants to minimize or lessen our guilt. It comes out in our language; all of us.
Although a person can (and has) used "God" in the context of blaming God (how many people have killed saying God told them!), I don't think it applies here and this is why:
He has already told us the "why" of Amanda's death even before the killers were caught:
so many would come to his church.
Squeaky-clean said...
Peter, thank you for your recent analysis. Another great post! When nothing else makes sense about this case I come here to find some understanding, and comfort in reading others posts. Nice to know there are many of us that can't have the wool pulled over our eyes. I have followed many cases but this one is getting the most traffic I think b/c it's quite possible his "guilt" will never be revealed. I thought Billie Dunn would have been arrested. She wasn't. I think in the case of DB won't either.
I also am following the Advance Indiana blog, the blogger Gary R.Welsh is an attorney and he has a post titled, Davey Blackburn mentor and his Church have been at the center of controversy in South Carolina, about NewSpring,Perry Noble and the Pajamapages blogger Duncan's harassment from former NewSpring Staffer. An update at the end of the article states Mr. Welsh had a menacing call originating from Ware Shoals,SC allegedly from his online computer service. This only furthers the opinions of the general public that we Davey Blackburn/? have something to hide. Mr.Welsh's previous post Making sense of the Amanda Blackburn killing timeline is a worthwhile read.
I am a former police civilian employee of San Francisco P.D. 1988,89,90,91 and Indianapolis P.D. 1997 for exactly 2 weeks,lol. Only paid 8.00 an hour too little money for the stress of being a dispatcher. IPD isn't exactly up to par with S.F. P.D but hopefully with help from The F.B.I because the rank and file of law enforcement here in Indiana is corrupt. Officers here have been arrested for rapes,robberies,drug dealing, etc. Someone at some point mentioned LE needs to find out if any LE is a member of Resonate or have any connection to Davey from the gym. Imagine a case linking gangs and murder with religion and a possible law enforcement connection would be something unheard since the Catholic mafia,law enforcement who cover up crimes committed by police.
Are you saying these Facebook people folks are finding are fake? None of them have been put up recently. Alonzo has a very "findable" fb page. Who are these vicious women and why do they hate DB so much?
@ anon who keeps claiming people are creating "fake" fb pages to link DB this gang... relax. Police know fact from fiction. Don't overwhelm your blood pressure. I see your posts as quite threatening. We don't go around calling people "liars" on this blog.
Can I get a link?

Not lying at all...the link doesn't work on mobile, it only works on a desktop. I have nothing to lie about/no motive, just simply proving that the original poster saying that there is a connection between the three exists. DB is friends with TRJ and TRJ is friends with Alonzo. When on a desktop, the link shows the two guys' photos side by side and underneath that it says that they have 170 mutual friends.
Hmmm said...
Anonymous at 2:35,
I'm confused. I followed the link and it worked to show the overlap in 170 friends between the two men https://www.facebook.com/lilzo.upt?and=treezy.jones.3
Alonzo Dugoise Bull's page is public and with 2,051 friends, I doubt it's a new FB made to slam Blackburn. Also, there are joint posts with his wife that go back for about 2 years https://www.facebook.com/lilzo.upt
I do find it strange, though that TRJs's timeline only goes back to November 14, 2015. With 1,050 friends, he's obviously had FB longer then that, but maybe he made older posts private. Why not recent ones too though?
I could not find an overlap between TRJ and a female BW who is friends w DB.
Why is Anonymous at 2:35 writing things that are untrue? Is this person Internet-challenged and assumed that since there was no "Alonzo Bull" on Facebook they didn't stop to check if there could be a middle name involved?
So Peter @2:41
Are you saying you think his motivation (if involved) stopped with him? He only care about new recruits for his church for his own purely selfish aims, and that he in no way cares about pleasing God? I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
Alonzo Bull does indeed have a facebook page and the link has been passed around on websleuths ever since the PC document was released to the public.
After anon's little sexist jab about the vicious women, I conclude he is associated with Newspring, as that is their MO.
Go to TRJ's FB account and search friends, current city. As of now he is friends with Davey Blackburn.
Re the page that "only" shows Jones's back, that's his current profile photo. Of note, like DAvet he is a body builder.
The page youwith the big profile photo indicates his friend link with Alonzo.
Alonzo, on FB under full name Alonzo Duguoise Bull, is friends with
Treezy Riphellrellandliljay Jones
who is friends with Davey Blackburn
So, how many degrees of separation? Friend of a friend.
Anonymous at 2:59
Point of clarification, Bull and TRJ are not friends as of 2:15 this afternoon when I first investigated this person based on a comment above. They do share 170 friends though.
I guess what I'm asking is, can statement analysis go even further than indicating someone is attempting to hide guilt, can it indicate that the true motivation was that God called them to do it? "I prayed and prayed for a solution to my unhappy marriage, and God answered my prayers by calling me to do this" - type thinking. Is the amount of time he spends referencing God and Jesus significant in this way?
And treezy is flashing a bankroll from yesterday,hmmm
Hmmm - Thanks for catching that! When I had posted I didn't mean to type friends (between Alonzo and TRJ), I just meant to show that there is a likelihood of them knowing one another.
I traced many FB friends of Davey Blackburn with up to hundreds of mutual friends with every named thug in this case whose page has been found. I forwarded my initial findings to LE several days ago, but have found many more since. I did not post about it because I didn't want the pages to go poof. These friends are as recent as this month and as old as years ago. LE has all this info and should be following up the links. At least one FB page has been taken down, presumably due to the investigation. That one is of a current inmate who should not have access to take it down himself.
And so it goes.... And so it goes....
Another pathway is cleared to continue speculation on Davey Blackburn.
There have been no dead ends yet.
Bull and Treezy are not friends as of now. But acc. to FB they do share 170 mutual friends and Treezy is, acc to FB, friends with Davey Blackburn. I have a screen shot from Treezy's and Davey's pages in case of unfriend deletion.

I saw that too. Possibly a connection to the FAM?
It just occurred to me that in talking about gangs and culture of silence, maybe that applies to a group of white bros as well.
We still don't know WHY DB ran to PN instead of his or her families.
Yep it will continue to go until the truth is revealed. Majority of us, not just on this blog: main stream media, people all over the word, as well as from churches affiliated with DB, will continue to speculate a connection with DB & gang. DB brought this speculation upon himself. LE have stated this is an on going investigation. It's not closed. 911 call not released. Sounds like someone on here thinks they are smarter than LE. You are highly mistaken.
One more thought along these lines
He doesn't speak to anything proprietary about his brand, it's just the general product category.
Wouldn't you except him to subtly inject a promotion for his specific brand? "Amanda loved the Resonate church we started together just a few years ago. She poured her heart and soul into it and wanted everyone to have a deeply spiritual experience. She loved that Resonate fulfills the great need for a casual friendly place to worship. She couldn't wait for Sunday's. She loved all the wonderful people at our church. She loved everything about Resonate, the children's program and even the coffee hour."
Anonymous Skeptic said...
Possible, I guess. It would be one for the books, though.
In this case, he could use 'God's will", if that is what you mean. Historically, it is been acute mental illness, but the bizarre nature of this case makes me remain open to all possibilities.
I continue to even explore for another powerful guilt motive that would impact pronouns.
Bankrolls on both sides. Davey's vision of his money machine:
"If we’re running a thousand people, as a church, which I believe is sooner rather than later, we are sitting there with 2 services at that facility with a potential of looking at a third, and at a thousand people, from a tithes and offering standpoint, statistically you would bring in $25 per person. Which means we would be bringing in in tithes and offerings a hundred thousand dollars a month. Now, the most we will ever pay out in rent at North View is going to be six to seven thousand dollars a month. So that means you got ninety four thousand dollars, of ministry money, that we’re able to use not, not (shakes head) to profit ourselves cause we’re a non-profit, but to help this city and to reach more people."
As for his thoughts on separation of church and state and the value of public schools:
"I don’t believe that North View’s auditorium was built for the purpose of seeing 'Romeo and Juliet' in production once a year. I don’t believe that. I know that’s what they intended it to be but I believe that God has placed that facility there so we can put butts in seats of people who do not know Jesus and they can come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. That’s why God’s put us there." Video, published Oct 1, 2015
This is not supported in the language of his statements.
The language is overwhelmingly about bringing people to his 'company' and his slogan and his justification. He cannot even separate his personal slog with her death under criticism.
For further understanding consider his "disappointment" video.
"Liz,
Although I don't have time to read all the comments, I have not come across, nor heard referenced, any "lies" told to prove anything. "
Peter, I am assuming the person is referring to comments where people have begun to conjecture about things that might have happened that fall outside of the analysis of the statements, i.e., whether the baby had been drugged to keep him quiet, etc. I get uncomfortable when the conversation turns to things that are not in the statements or the news stories. That's just my opinion, I scroll past those type of posts, but I recognize that people connected with Amanda could read here and find those types of things to be accusatory and painful to read.
Thank you for addressing the commentator who used threatening words.
This is a common tactic of The Mentor and his "church" as you can read at pajama pages.com. A lawsuit was successfully settled against his "church" for their criminal acts to shut up the author.
We have seen comments here in recent days where intimidation was used to shut people up who speculated about DB's guilt. It is why many of us have decided to use "Anonymous" instead of using a name. The Davey Defenders (or Davey himself) seem to spend more time attacking when they have a name to use. I would imagine more than a few people have left rather than experience that. I hope you will warn your followers not to use their real names here as these are not ethical people we're dealing with.
Do not be surprised if God "tells" DB to write "Amanda's Story" and even gives him the words. Your subtle joke about The Mentor's understanding of Hebrew was not missed, which tells me you know of his insistence that God gave him the words for the Christmas Eve "sermon" changing the Ten Commandments to "sayings". When called out, his defense included the fact that his minions heard it too and backed him up.
I'm confused... been gone for a couple of days... what does TRJ have to do with the case? Or Alonzo Bull for that matter? Please help me catch up. Thanks!! In the meantime, I'll try to read all comments and catch up. :) -TJC
Was it ever posted on here that PN registered the website "nothingiswasted.net" on November 13? I'm sure someone has a link around hede.
This afternoon the Indy Star reporter who wrote an op-ed against terming the accused "animals" had his FB page hacked with a still shot from a porn movie featuring black actors. There is a strong racist backlash against any unbiased investigation.

Peter, if this sequence of events is true it could speak to the guilt in DB's language:
Here is something I find curious... Supposedly the live-in babysitter (Megan Griffith) moved out abruptly 10-weeks prior to AB's death. I looked at AB's fb page & she quit posting exactly 10 weeks prior to her death on Aug 1st. On Aug 2, MG posted on her etsy shop - which is named "nothing is wasted" (DB uses that as a hash tag repeatedly) that she needed to sell her entire stock that day all for $5/each. I think AB caught DB & MG having an affair and threatened to expose them and that was the catalyst that lead to her death... LK
we don't know if DB ran to PN. when theres trouble in a branch office located in another state the CEO recalls his branch mgr to headquarters for a face to face.
Catholic mafia covered up crimes committed by priests,not police.
Davey's friend count dropped by 2 since last week. I wonder who the disappeared friends are.
I do not recognize "Alonzo" or the other names mentioned here.
You can't make this ish up! Link for the reporter or at least his/her name
Peter, way back in the Comments over the last few days, someone explains that Alonzo is in the gang/connected to the men accused of Amanda's murder (er...accident. er....event). If you look at his FB wall, the FAM is subtly mentioned. His girlfriend says on her page that he has cleaned up his life. Look through the photos on both their pages and you will see them holding up wads of money. These and other images would make you think "Gang" and wonder if Alonzo has, indeed, cleaned things up.
Peter Hyatt at 4.00PM said
Peter, `I found hm on FB byy following th emention in the Affidavit, which reads:
"Alonzo Bull was questioned by law enforcement and admitted that when Gordon, Watson and Taylor left his apartment shortly before the first burglary, one of them was wearing his black Pelle-Pelle jacket. That jacket is consistent with a jacket observed worn by one of the suspects in the first burglary. It is also consistent with a jacket observed worn by the subject seen walking on Sunnyfield Court and Sunmeadow Drive who was picked up the silver Chrysler Sebring."
His name on FB is Alonzo Duguoise Bull. His profile he goes to North Central High School. He may mean he used to go there. He states his relationship status as "Married." On Nov 24 one of Alonzo's friends, James Spalding, posted in Alonzo's Timeline, in part, "love u like my lil brother bro stay out the way."

"Do not be surprised if God "tells" DB to write "Amanda's Story" and even gives him the words...."
in one of the earliest long post-murder interviews with Davey Blackburn, he is reading from Amanda's journal words SHE supposedly had written - totally paraphrasing until I can find the interview to link here - "while I don't know all of the 'what ifs', I know God is the author of my story" and then finishes with "we don't know what the future holds but we know who holds the future"
MY STORY ? ?
How would Amanda know she was going to have "a story", her story, at the time she supposedly wrote this in her journal?
Just rubbed me the wrong way when I watched it again last night - he read it with that faux trembling voice and did his best to muster up some tears. Of course some will say she could've been talking about her blanket complete life story or whatever. . .
It is the interview where he is sitting in an auditorium with a ton of empty chairs behind him and a female interviewer, the same one where he talks about naming the yet-unborn child and tries unsuccessfully to choke up when talking about the baby's dimples.
reporter Tim Swarens, he deleted the hack. His op-ed:
http://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/columnists/tim-swarens/2015/11/25/swarens-amanda-blackburns-accused-killers-animals/76330376/
I'm sorry, it was "killgang" that was mentioned in a message someone sent him. It seemed the friend was amused that it should have been "kilt". It must have been on the girlfriend, Donae Mitchell's FB that I saw the reference to "FAM".
go to FB and look at my friends list and see if I have any connections to thugs and killers.
The list is large and I know only a small percentage of them.
During the Casey Anthony saga, I was accused of being connected to the Defense and the poster used my FB contacts a proof.
Let me know if there are any nefarious connections.
DB and AB are both pastor's kids, right? In the pg announcement, DB says he is praying for the congregation because you know how pastor's kids are. (Meaning what, i dont know)
We know DB has blogged about how he was caught in a lie in high school that tore down his reputation he had worked so hard to build. He references difficult teenage years where he gave his parents trouble. He blogged about how the family had to move right before his senior year started. (Unknown if this was dad work related to his behavior related)...
Can anyone fill in the blanks?
Peter left this message in the comments from the last article. I couldn't stand for it not to be seen by all of you.
Why would the Davey Defenders visiting this site want to threaten us and stop the discussion? Why? Because they know something has been hinky about Davey all along. His Mentor said so! Only Amanda's presence made him okay and she's not here any more.
Outing Davey as less than a good "pastor/person" tarnishes the entire brand, doesn't it...including the mentor who chose him.
Hence, the attempts to shut down the doubters.
By looking at:
husband,
close associates
distant associates
credit card usage
people are doing exactly what police are doing.
No one, however, is telling them how 'hateful' it is.
It is unpleasant, but far less unpleasant than murder.
If it were your loved one murdered, you would want no stone unturned.

I wonder what in the world it was.
Perhaps the person or persons who were hurt by it will show up here?
Someone posted yesterday that Noble was the actual name linked to registering NothingIsWasted.net just 2 days after Amanda's death.
Looking ahead to telling "Amanda's Story" and wanting ownership of a website to tell it. Yep.

"Let me know if there are any nefarious connections."
Sure. I'm not a specialist in nefarious, but will do.
I think I am late to this party...
Who is Jones?
More importantly, is there a thought that the gang has a connection to Blackburn?
This is obviously something police are searching.
If there is a connection, it is not likely that the shooter or other 2 would give up any information. The code of silence is self preservation.
Also, possible that a gang leader who assigns such a brutal thing would NOT tell subordinate where this came from.
Blackburn book
This, too, entered his language. Under criticism, he has been unable to refrain himself from capitalizing on the murder, from the first statement and right on through, even after 'correcting' the statements.
has the domain name AMANDAS STORY dot net or dot com been registered?
This is the link to the interview where Amanda supposedly wrote about "her story" in her journal - the relevant part starts at about 10:15 into the video (he starts reading from her journal at about 8:27 into the video)
"http://www.wthr.com/Clip/12008994/davey-blackburn-interview-part-1
He talks about "her last entry. . . umm. . . on Monday morning… so this was after Sunday’s service. . . .
this. . this is what her last entry was. . ."
She wrote "Thank you for letting me get to see all of this with my own eyes" (poignantly looks up at interviewer). "I love you Lord, glory and praise to you”.
Then he says "she wrote this a few days before. . uh. . before she was killed, and. . . I think it sums up what we feel" (we?, again?)
"and it says 'Lord, I don’t want my faith to waver because of something like that' (she was talking about an emotional situation she was going through). She said 'it does make me nervous to think about ‘what ifs’, but even if the ‘what ifs’ happen, I know it’s because of your plan. I know it’s because you are the author of my faith and this story."
(THIS STORY !)
Does anyone know of a timeline already created showing the various interviews Davey did on his circuit immediately following Amanda's murder - it would be interesting to know exactly how many days afterward before he was all fixed up and talking to all of these different news media outlets.
Peter, they may not tell now but somebody will one day use it for leverage out of a slam-dunk arrest, I would think.
Let's hope we're all still alive to see it.

I don't think I understand your original question, Skeptic.
I should have asked for clarification first.
Please use "God" in quotes if you the reference is Davey's perspective rather than universal definition of Omniscience , etc.
mr Hyatt.
is Avinoam Sapir's book. ' unearthing genesis secrets using SCAN' available somewhere?
You know the saying - If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...
I'm beginning to think the DB/PN style of preaching is the opposite.
If DB looks like a hulking thug, and talks like a hulking thug, what is he?
Though the business plan is perfect. Sell Jesus (not religion!); collect tax-free LEGAL cash!
Mentor other salesmen, start franchises, build empire. Roll in the money.
end rant.
It's a good thing you are innocent until proven guilty in this country vs. guilty until proven innocent.
This is an unnecessary statement. As such, it is very important. It is often said (in various language) when one feels that public opinion is in conflict with one's own.
When comments are agreed with, the unnecessary statement is...unnecessary.
Innocents love truth because the deeper one digs, the more truth will be uncovered and the innocent justified.
Those who fear deep discernment sometimes say, "I have nothing to hide", inviting in the curious minded.
-When one thinks about Amanda's life with Davey it is so sad, tragic and cold. Heartbreaking.
On top of his numerous and many insults of her publically as a woman, a mother, a wife, and sexually, openly attacking her very femininity; in the end he leaves her nakedness exposed and uncovered for every strange male among the EMT's, Fire Dept and Police Dept to walk in and see her most private area exposed while helpless and unable to cover herself. The b'stard couldn't even cover her nakedness while watching her die.
Davey Blackburn is the coldest man I have ever heard of, totally unfeeling for the privacy of a woman, any woman; let alone this woman being his wife and the mother of his child and pregnant with another of his babies; not fit to live among the female population. This alone, even if there wasn't more, tells me that he is rotten to the core, absolutely and 100% capable of causing her demise in the most brutal way. He wanted her dead with no dignity. ABB
Anon @ 3:54, Not surprising, the two vids I put up have been flooded with trolls and I mean flooded. Just wanted to say, this place is fantastic. Peter is a wealth of knowledge and the people here are very informed and open minded. KS11
Louise K, even though we cannot agree concerning spiritual matters, I do enjoy reading your well-written posts, even finding a little humor in some of them. ABB
I viewed Alonzo's FB yesterday. It is public. So is the girlfriends. I don't know about mutual friends but the page is certainly visible.
Thank you kindly ABB
All this talk about God...
Poor God is up there with his ears burning -
Don't bring ME into this unholy mess, Blackburn
Corinthians reminds us that even Satan himself dresses as an angel of light, and to beware False Prophets who use the Lords name to hide their own evil.
No statement on this particular part of the Lords Word from Team DB...!
...and as far as Facebook goes...
I was just waiting for the missing link
And whaddaya know
there it is - FB - and of course Police found it first!
Davey associates with gangsta style with his hoodies
He waves guns around on stage - "cool" I suppose...? Or just
If I ever went to a church Downunder and the Pastor waved a hand gun around, the audience would scatter and call police.
Davey's audience barely twitches.
They are USED to seeing him wave handguns about...? Mentioning them, talking about them...?
I know Men of God who refuse to even handle a Weapon of Death.
Not our Davey...he knows what his audience likes...
If you are concerned about being tied to thugs (and I did not find any with this particular group of thugs from this case on a cursory search), you could create a facebook page for the blog and then only friend people on your personal page whom you actually know.
For a long time, DB's financial accounts will be watched to learn if any cash withdrawals are made.
They are also going back quite a bit to see if any cash accumulated.
If there is any link, I think they will find it. It is not that difficult but it takes time.
Oops...there it is!
Someone should compare the Friend names to those on Alonzo Duguoise Bull's FB friends. They sound a lot alike.
Also, Alonzo's wife, on FB as Donae Mitchell tells on her wall that he has recently cleaned up his act. With help from a local "Pastor"? I wonder.
Anonymous mom2many said...
No, just interested if this is something that is common to anyone who has lots of unknown FB friends, or if it is something of concern about Blackburn.
In order to become a Friend on Facebook, one has to send the request and ones has to accept it.
Davey didn't get this friend accidentally.
RE: The Gun and Davey Blackburn
Was it not young David who gave thanks for having his hands learn the talent of warfare? The reason that little boys were given toy guns was because society held an expectation that they would protect women and children from enemies, foreign and domestic, should this arise. Sports were designed to strengthen boys, build confidence and help teach them the team work necessary in community protection. The armor bearer was a young boy learning the skills of war. The man of God who refuses to defend his wife and children is no man of "God" but of his own cowardice and if a young man were to hold to this today and want to marry my daughter, I'd do my best to stop it. As civility continues to break down in our country, we may see manhood make a comeback. In Sweden, 1 out of every 4 women are raped. Rape is so common that Sweden has opened the world's first male rape clinic for men and boys. Cities have gone wild out of control and people are left incapable of defending their wives and daughters.
That DB had a gun does not bother me.
The War for American independence had "chaplains" who were armed Presbyterians. That it was a prop in a sermon bothers me, personally, but not in regard to the investigation.
What bothers me is the coincidence of waving around a gun days before his wife is murdered...the very wife he complained about.
My thoughts on him personally and professionally are separated. That the principles of Statement Analysis are evenly applied is affirmed by the many eyes able to look over my shoulder: I give my viewpoint AND the reasoning that got me there, making it easy to follow and if need be, correct.
Donae Mitchell, Alonzo's girlfriend/wife says he has cleaned up his act and is a God-fearing man.
With help from DB?
Check out the photo right below that post and see if this looks like the God-fearing men you know. Gangbanger much?
Re: 5:59
On Facebook page.
Did you forward the other ones -- that you found since your initial findings - to LE as well? And have they responded at all?
Peter at 5:52
I'm not a body language analyst who reads micro expressions but the look on DB's face as he brandishes the gun in his sermon is frightening. He was pumped up and mighty excited I wonder to whom he was making eye contact at that moment.
When Davey did the fox interview, the reporter said he knew Davey had Amanda's journal with him and Davey corrected him by stating he does not have the journal with him but that he knows it so well, he can paraphrase... You've gotta be kidding me?! Anyone else catch that? Red flag 3,082. With police stating Davey Blackburn is not a suspect, the concerning angle is they did not take the journals into their possession and though the diaries may seem contrived, one would think that is exactly why they would confiscate them. If law enforcement had Davey on their radar immediately, as is expected with any pregnant wife's murder, why was the crime scene released so soon? And didn't he have the carpets cleaned the next day? Not sure if that's a rumor or fact, but to me, it doesn't appear law enforcement IS looking at Davey and if that is the case, if the patsies go down for it, then what? Davey walks a free life, for the rest of his life and if you dare question anything about it, you'll be labeled a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. Why was Governor Pence there? He gets an "A" from the NRA and is a gun supporter. Interesting that he was there.
Peter @5:43
I see. Yes, I had the same thought when I first started running names, but when I hit the third or fourth in a row with mutual friends, I decided this really is no coincidence. Also some of the friendships with ties date back to 2013 and 2012, so I do not think they are accidental. Every so often over the last period of days, I grab a few more names from his account to run, and they all have mutual friends in the double digits with the thugs named on the probable cause documents.
Here's another thought: If your wife had just been murdered by a gang of burglars, would you be accepting friend requests with obvious gang indicators on their profiles. These friends have cover photos and profile photos flashing gang signs. You wouldn't even have to navigate to their account profile to know that.
I personally think Davey is a narcissist and don't doubt that he cared more about his church than his wife and family.
But, I think it's somewhat unfair for you to dissect one side of the coin and say "what are the odds?" and not factor in the odds that the guys that are currently in custody did exactly what they have been doing for many years. Is it a further stretch that they'd commit a murder and/or rape when the right situation came into play ?
When you speak of the odds, without full context , you are misinterpreting the true odds of the situation.
I like everyone else, agree that a connection should be vigorously sought after vi law enforcement. But It's reckless to go about accusing someone of murder without fully evaluating the case - yes, evaluating the other side of the coin.
You are careful to come out and say he didn't do it, but the comments on this blog are driven by your skepticism. There is reason for skepticism, but if there is no balance in terms of -- what is the probability that these other guys did this without any connection ? You are facilitating a very one sided reaction from readers.
I personally have not heard enough evidence to know for sure if Davey is involved or not. But I have heard a TON of evidence that makes me sure that it's plausible that these guys just did what they do, and the odds very favorable if you take davey out of the picture.
I understand that you are coming from a statement analysis perspective, but it's not by any stretch of the imagination the full scope of this case. That's the reason these comments are mostly void of any objectivity. Statement Analysis is considered as junk science to many, and imo it's not something I could see as anything but another tool in the toolbox to gain insight. But tempering that insight with the full scope of the case, is an area your blog severely lacks in, thus the comments.
Saying 90% of my commenters/readers agree, is an example of you using biased data as a way to bolster your suggestions of how most feel. But you fail to explain that you have a highly biased readership at this point as they place more value in Statement Analysis than actual evidence and full scope of the case.
It's quite reckless imo.
*you are careful to not come out and say "he did it".

I did receive a reply that my info has been forwarded to the investigators. I have an open log in at crimestoppers that I should go back and add more links, but I haven't done that for a few days.
Another excellent post Peter. You broke it down very succinctly for us newbies.
I do have a leaning to disagree on the "rolling" of people involved though. There is no honor among thieves. It is all about self-preservation. While many may remain silent because of threats to their loved ones and such, there will be SOMEONE, some day that will link everything together to finally take crazy davey down.
I'm local to the national case of a priest murdering a nun at a hospital chapel. The members of the Catholic Church AND the police helped cover up this crime which is why the priest was not brought to justice for decades. Interestingly, when brought into the station to be interviewed about "the day" his first words were, "I took a shower"...hmmmm
The pro davey supporters remind me very much of Scientology tactics. Rabid. It's useless to try to have a "dialogue" with them. You just have to ignore them.
I don't think anyone is disputing the facts that the people arrested did what they were arrested for. The probability that Peter is talking about is the fact that Amanda is dead in relation to what Davey valued and didn't value in his life. As numerous LE have stated to Peter, "what are the odds" that she ends up dead? Read back thru Peter's post, he does not say that Davey "didn't do it." He states he doesn't know if he did or not (have anything to do with it) He lays out the facts. He has guilty knowledge of SOmething. What it is, Peter does not know. It is up to the reader to decide whether or not the odds are high that Davey had something to do with Amanda ending up dead.
One thing I've learned from reading Peter's blog, yes, he has opinions which he is entitled to but when it comes to SA..he is unbiased. He follows the rules of following the language.
In regards to the facebook "mutual friends" initiative by @mom2many.
I get the gist of what you are trying to do, but you do have to remember this guy was a pastor and lived in indianapolis maybe 10 miles from these individuals. I think you have to temper that a bit with the obvious possibility that he very likely knows someone who knows someone to a few degrees and it ends up with a great deal of gangsters/thugs in indianapolis, not just these guys.
I definitely think it's the right way to go for investigating for links, but I am a bit skeptical that this information at it's very base level means anything. I still ask myself - if there is indeed a link between davey and these guys. WHY would they not be blabbing right now ?
Anyone have a good answer for that ? I can't think of one.
Money would be the only motivator I'd guess in such a plot. But what good is money if you are doing life in prison ?
I am not sold on Davey being innocent or guilty at this point, but am interested in what the reason might be that they'd go to prison for life as opposed to implicating Davey ??
I find it interesting the contrast of Davey's defender's anger & wrath toward anyone who dare question their beloved Davey but when it comes to the heinous murder of Amanda they are all soothe-sayers of choosing love and forgiveness ... nauseating.
Does anybody know what this "100" thing is that is popping up on their FB pages? One of the men has a tattoo of it. Is it in relation to "FAM?"
I hear what you are saying, and I do see that he is careful to only state what it indicates, and nothing definitive in terms of his innocence / guilt.
But the comments on this page, clearly point to people biting hard on it as obvious guilt that supports their non objective views and totally disregarding the equally if not more convincing odds that these suspects just did what they always have done.
My point is that if your readers are only exposed to one side of the coin, how could you expect them to be evaluating a case objectively ?
Guilty of leaving a door unlocked that led to free entry by a burglar. Is that wildly speculative to think he might feel responsible based on that ? I don't think so. All I'm saying is that if you are piling on reasons to question him, but disregarding the odds of these suspects doing it without his involvement, of course you are aren''t being objective to this case.
So to use statistics regarding your commenters -- yes, it's reckless to suggest that is an objective data point. And yes, Peter used that data point as a means of suggesting "odds". What are the odds ? was his very question.
and again - I think there's a definite chance that davey is indeed guilty. But I place far more weight in real evidence and weigh everything before I start talking about "what are the odds"
I think it's reckless to not do so. Peter might be skilled at statement analysis, but maybe he needs to brush up on how statistics without proper context aren't reliable. The odds of these suspects being involved in a burglary at any random home in the 10 mile radius of their home without any other motive than burglarizing is through the roof.
And again - why aren't these suspects blabbing about Davey ? What could possibly be the motive to not singing now, with life in prison in the mix ? what are the odds of that ?
The police have spoken of a "code of silence" that is pervading the gangs. Obviously someone (confidential informant) doesn't adhere to that code. If the men that are arrested murdered Amanda, there is speculation that they perhaps received that "order" from someone else. If that "someone else" puts fear into the thugs that harm will come to someone THEY love or care about, they will not snitch. Fear is the persuader, money comes into play of course, but fear is the best silencer.
I agree. I don't know what exactly to make of the connections. That's why I initially sent the information just to LE. I commented here today when one 2nd degree connection was discovered, because a single connection is more likely to be coincidence. What I have found goes beyond one friend. I can think of other implications, but I'd rather not feed the thug's defense. Many of these friends are new this month, and that seems like that is not coincidental either.
I hear what you're saying and respect your point of view. It is valid. My above posts lends to my belief why no one is "singing," although the confidential informant certainly did. Even people that give no value to others lives, they value their own and those of whom they love.
@lynda - I definitely think that is a solid theory. I have theorized that ABull would be that person possibly ? He seemed to be in contact with the 3 throughout the night.
As I said, I haven't ruled out Davey myself. But I still hold to the gang hit being a little far-fetched too, to be honest.
I am fully in support of investigating that link. But again, even with that theory in play , the odds of this being exactly what it is being reported is far more likely.
I like to see the evidence before I jump to believing things. Many comments on this blog are in one extreme or the other. not quite an objective group.
The puzzling part about all this is that this young black executed her.
The only reason I can think of is perhaps he was in the position that, in order to have full membership of the gang, when the opportunity arose he was to rape and murder either on one person or on two, whenever the opportunity arose.
in other words, the burglary/ies was their prime intention that morning and this fiend who was left behind to guard Amanda (in case she had lied about the pin number), seized the opportunity to gain entry into some gang inner sanctum.
I told her that we knew how to do long distance 'cause we'd done it before and this wasn't something we couldn't overcome.
--Davey Blackburn
It was not a positive, obviously. It was, you know, inappropriate. But it was not something that we weren't dealing with.
--Scott Peterson
I might have found that first comment quite touching if it weren't stated in the negative, and if it didn't remind me so much of the Peterson quote.
I'm fairly sure I's seen a video of Davey reading from Amanda's journal. At the time I thought, why don't the police have that. In this interview he says she would not want to read it - and he did, for TV. I recall thinking, Is he going to do what Sylvia's Plath's husband did, take control of all her papers?
correction --
anon at 7:25 PM
I'm fairly sure ... In this interview he says she would not want him to read it.
@lynda Yes, I hear you. Thank you for the respectful discussion. I do see it as reasonable if they are protecting another who would harm them if they flipped. But I guess my largest reason for seeing that as so far fetched is they spent the whole night burglarizing.
I understand that one might say "well, they did that to throw police off and make it more plausible that it was a burglary and not a planned murder".
Well, sorry, I kind of think that all that activity just increased the chances that they'd ever get to their final target and increase the chances of getting caught. I find it astonishingly implausible to think that "getting caught" would be part of the plan.
So yes, I have to weight the theory against - might they have simply been doing what they seem to be doing ALL THE TIME, and that's why they weren't as careful in so many ways.
I think the latter is more likely. But stranger things have happened.
Noting that 90% of commenters believe Davey is connected is just an interesting aside from Pater. If you come often, you'll find he does polls concerning our thoughts on various cases.
For the most part, this is an intelligent audience who find themselves here when something in the news sounds hinky.
If Davey had not made such a string of unexpected comments and had he not put out videos demeaning his lovely wife, we might not have run toward Statement Analysis. Then we began to learn the string of unexpected coincidences in the case.
We are more angry than the wronged husband in this case. Isn't that strange?
Don't be surprised if we now look at every tiny clue.
Because of Davey's own words, we are suspicious.
If you're looking for a group of people where 90% think Davey is innocent, go to the Twitter accounts of the mentor's minions.
But I won't be surprised if that percentage changes as they google Davey's name and read.
I saw the news that DB went public with Amanda's dad to say he forgives the killers. That it's what Jesus would do. I believe in God, I get forgiveness but it is so early and it's great when after time people can be courageous enough to forgive a person for a terrible crime. It's not the same forgiving as pardoning or saying I'm ok with it. It's a way of moving on and not being hateful which is what DB says he's doing. So I get it but it's too early to be acting this way PLUS he isn't Jesus. But I feel he thinks he is speaking for him t through him which is how men of God are. I really hate to judge s person for how they choose to react. It's his choice but I don't agree with it and I feel he's involved. He is hiding behind his church. He talks about Jesus way too much in interviews. Who is like that.? His wife's posts on Facebook and Instagram were normal. Something is wrong with him. He's very.into his image, working out and his sex life. He is very vain. I don't like or trust vain people. I really wonder how much of his preaching so he truly believes in.
is Avinoams Sapirs book 'unearthing genesis/SCAN available? cant find on Amazon. reference on SA blog says send check in Avinoam's name to Phoenix. is there a website or phone #? rather not send check not knowing if still available. interesting topic.
In this video, starting at around 14:00, while illustrating the boundaries placed around the marital sexual relationship, Davey states:
"Even in 'my' own life, 'we' go outside of this".....
Hmmm...a very noticeable shift in pronoun.
@Concerned
You get no argument from me on all things Davey and the possibility that he would do such a thing. I'm way beyond sold on that aspect being plausible.
But even you saying that you are more angry than the wronged husband, doesn't mean much if he just didn't love her, maybe even hated her etc etc
But there is this thing called evidence that you have to pay just as much attention to as what your gut or any statement analysis might lead you to.
I am completely in favor of investigating Davey or any potential link.
If you are one of those people who is SURE that davey is the killer, then you are one of the people I have issue with. Because you are ignoring some huge aspects of this case and building a case to fit your viewpoint based on a single element - the horrible husband. I get it, but that's not objective.
Sou just as Perry Noble is not trusted by me as objective, neither are those who are commenting here who don't acknowledge that it could very well be just as it appears - a burglary gone bad, by career criminals.
I say this having watched so many davey videos and being amazed at how big an idiot this guy is in every way. I feel so badly for Amanda, even before this murder, because life with him must have been horrific.
But, I can't ignore evidence. I can't ignore what career criminals do, without needing a motive beyond "More money".
So when I see statement analysis on davey. How about some statement analysis on larry taylor -- when asked if he was at the location, he said "possibly". Is that an unreliable denial ?
Are you objective about this case ? O
www.lsiscan.com for Book on Genesis.
The people who did the job might not know who the client was. The guy who gave them the job would probably know.
"Money would be the only motivator I'd guess in such a plot. But what good is money if you are doing life in prison ?"
Having money is extremely important in prison. Money in your commissary account means not only food that's more to your liking but also the ability to buy cigarettes and other goods to trade for your safety. Money lets you buy drugs and cell phones and sex. Yep, there's a whole free market economy in prison. Look at the story of the New York prison where the big escape took place this year. Prisoners could even buy a section of land and set up a BBQ grill!
I am with you. It's not natural.
Loosing someone you claim to love is devastating. Loosing someone you love to what was likely a very terrifying painful death is even more devastating.
He then found her body. Strangers have been tramautized by less.
I am not religious so I may struggle more with him acting like he's ok with everything because of his God...but I don't beleive his natural grief/trauma this early could be overcome by his beleif in God.
He is hiding behind God. He's a salesman after the next dollar and just choose God as his "product". I don't even beleive he believes in God that strong. It's just his product. That I'm sure of.
I've seen many a story about a murderer, molestor that his behind religion. Be it a priest or just simple that went to Church on Sunday.
It doesn't make you not feel emotion or horror.
@anon at 8:16
Naw, i think freedom trumps money.
But I do accept the plausibility of the "hit" being directed from above them, and implicating their leader could lead to death. Also see it plausible as anon at 8:07 that they might not even know who wanted the hit.
See, I can be objective!
But still see it weighing more heavily in the burglary direction as primary motive.
You got me!
I go back and forth at being objective but fortunately, I'm not on a jury.
I'm just Joe-Schmo sitting here at home hoping LE is taking advantage of the tips generated on this blog.
I pray that they're paying attention to Peter's analysis and the opinions of his fellow investigators.
This case probably makes me crazier than some others because I'm a Christian and I haven't seen DB doing anything for the cause of Christ while seeking money in His name. I only expect that to get worse.
My hubby put a piece of tin foil on my head today & told me the black helicopters were over the house!
He's right....I'm far to obsessed and need to step away...
It's me again, friend.
I would totally love to see SA on Larry Taylor or any of the thugs involved. They have lawyers so that's not likely to happen. Maybe at the trial (if they don't plead out) we'll see video of the police interviews. Then Peter can do SA and make us all happy!
What i would really like to see is an interview with the babysitter and SA on that.
Putting on my tin foil hat now.
I don't understand dropping the sexual assault charges, especially this early in the game (attorney's can bargain later). A verbal threat can be considered sexual assault, why is the fact that she was found almost naked not considered sexual assault? And was it just a rumor that Amanda was sexually assaulted or did LE state that?
I watched this entire video with DB preaching about sex. I caught that comment also with him admitting he did go outside that boundary. It was a brief comment with no further clarification. Amanda was in the audience that day. Wonder how that went over?
I don't understand this sect/group/whatever they are called with Resonate. The attendees become owners. Owners of what? I've definitely never been to a church like that. DB is teaching on sex with an audience of teens and families. I would not be comfortable with this with my teens. Where is he getting his knowledge? DB made reference to having spoken to "many" rape victims. Many? He's been there for 2 years.
The other theme with this sermon seemed to be DB's own personal issues in his marriage. Clearly he had a negative attitude about women. He stated that men think about sex on average 7 times a day. And then zinged Amanda with "And women think about it, when? once a month?" wow. He then tried to get the men onboard in the audience. Didn't seem to go over well. The more he talked, the more it became evident he was very immature in his perception of marital relationships. And then he admits when he goes to the gym he can't look anywhere but down because of the women who were not dressed to work out but rather to be worked out. seriously??? This is someone leading the church?
I did notice that the slogans - this sect loves to use snappy little slogans - were something he got from the main leadership of PN. The best is yet to come... Nothing wasted..those slogans were with Resonate and not just DB. They way they use them and reinforce them feels very much like a cult.
I wonder what it costs to become an "owner" ? Didn't realize that "church" sold time shares.
Someone here said it costs 20% of your income to be an owner and you no pay, you no play.
what do they get for their 20% & being an owner? is it ground floor oppourtunity to share in growing or future revenue? wouldnt that require each person to be an 'ordained' minister? or an employee? a shareholder?? that would, could make the focus all $$ like any business.
I hear you, I know about the live in babysitter/intern as well. I get it. I mean, I totally get that it's what you are looking for in terms of motive for a guy like Davey.
I make no bones about it as I said, he's a creepy dude and NOTHING would surprise me in terms of what he might have did. But I do try to stay objective, because some times people are not good people, but innocent nonetheless.
Currently the one part I can't just write off is how involved ABull was, and I think that he should be investigated alot more closely purely based on the amount of contact he had with the suspects that night and seemed to be in a leadership role. They started the night with that guy. He supposedly lent his jacket to the one guy. If there is a link to Davey, ABull gets you a step closer to finding that out.
I wonder how much just major holidays cost? Like can I get a cery very part time ownership?
Yeah Hi
Im one of those people you have issue with
Let me ask you a Q
Have you ever felt someone watching you?
The answer to that will be, undoubtedly, Yes. (unless you are autistic perhaps).
We all know when someone is staring at us.
HOW do we know this?
Instinct.
It's a much squandered and undervalued human quality that most Police Investigators have in spades.
Being that this is Statement Analysis, when an Investigator declares the husband "100% innocent" my mind automatically ponders what 50% innocent looks like.
Add in the Circumstantial Evidence such as
1. Davey mentioned himself 17 times in original statement, Weston and Amanda once, Evertt not at all
2. Davey never said he loved Amanda until reminded to say it
3. Davey SMILED on GMA. Smiled...(see: Dupers Delight)
4. Davey appears to be linked to the killers
5. the murder itself appears to be an Execution staged as burglary gone wrong
6. Davey inexplicably did not cover his injured wife, nor make any attempts at CPR that we know of, despite having training (summer camps)
7. Davey was waving a gun around onstage just before the execution
8. Davey doesn't use language that shows any love for Amanda, nor regret, nor grief, nor sorrow, in fact he is ENERGISED by her death
But you don't want to listen, im not sure why, God knows there's enough examples of murderous Pastors about, and the bible itself tells us that even Satan hides in the light...! I bet my house DB has never lectured on 2 Corinthians 11.14!
Its a sad world when we all doubt our own human instinct.
Take a look around, the Entire World is yelling Foul on this one. This despite the 100% innocence reassurance.
Why? because people KNOW something in the milk aint clean.
You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cant fool all of them all of the time.
The internet is the vehicle by which the Universe is yelling, Look Again to the Police...triggered, largely, by instinct.
Is what you call instinct infallible ? Have you ever thought someone was watching you and you were wrong ?
Is it possible for davey to be a complete narcissistic douchebag and his house get burglarized ?
You don't give CPR to someone who is still alive.
Everyone has gut feelings. I have gut feelings about Davey as well. But I've had gut feelings about many cases and ended up wrong.
You don't build a case to fit your gut feelings. You use your gut feelings as a tool to guide you towards areas that need to be investigated. The EVIDENCE has a story to tell, and you cannot weigh it less than your gut feelings and be objective.
If instinct was infallible, we wouldn't need to investigate or have trials etc etc. Police are often wrong, even when following their instincts.
I hear what you are saying, but all it really means to an objective person is that you wouldn't make a good jury member. You should also hope that if you were ever in a similar situation that someone like you wasn't on the jury and had a gut feeling about you that wasn't accurate.
I'm not saying davey isn't guilty. I'm saying lets examine the full case, not just the parts that fit your gut.
Where are Amanda's close friends? The pastor in my community who murdered his wife (just google Richard Shahan) - his wife confided in some close friends that if something ever happened to her, look at her husband. I find it hard to believe that Amanda did not confide in her closest friend about her suspicions. Are they afraid? Because, I certainly believe the DB had something to do with it!
*you don't give CPR to someone who is still alive/breathing.
If this is just "junk science", why even come here?
Those that read this blog see past what everyone wants us to hear abd see truth.
Call it junk if you wish. But then why even come here if that's how you see it.
I don't comment on blogs that I don't agree with. It's just a waste of energy.
I follow and comment on blogs that make sense and I agree with.
I said that it's considered as junk science to many. I believe it's a tool that can be used to gain insight. Do I believe it's a way of determining innocence/guilt definitively. No.
I came here to read the Statement Analysis, and can't even say I disagree with what he says. I don't think you need to do a big analysis to come to the conclusions he came to , as several videos are enough to see his motivations in life, his narcissism, and how poorly he treated his wife.
I am very clear about what I think is reckless. Which is loading up on one side of the equation and placing too much weight on something like Statement Analysis and ignore the evidence that points in other directions.
Peter is careful to not say he's guilty, but the comments are loaded with people willing to go the next step and disregard the true odds of the evidence being contrary to their gut, statement analysis, or any other motive for turning a blind eye.
My comments were in regards to him examining and concluding "what are the odds?" , without the full scope of evidence. I stand by that. It's reckless.
The statement was clearly saying the odds were crazy that he would be innocent. But if you take davey out of the equation and examine the suspects , what they say/do , and look at the odds. Seems like those odds make it equally or more probable that davey is not involved. imo
So I stay objective. Not reckless.
Anon at 9;25
I totally agree about ABull.
Truly the manager of the evening, perhaps the one who knew Taylor needed to stay there to do the hit and had to be picked up when the others wanted to leave him. So unless ABull had it in for Amanda, he had a customer who did, right?
(He has a 17 year old wife at home - married when she was 16 - with a new baby. She looks like she might be high maintenance so cash would be nice.)
Davey says Amanda had no enemies. Why did he say that? I think the police must have asked him since this whole thing appeared hinky to them. They must have seen quickly that the evidence didn't show a random robbery.
Yes, I do totally think sex is at the center of this for Davey because he showed us in his videos that he is all about sex and the lack of it. I think it because he said it. No other reason.
I hope he isn't involved for Amanda's family's sake and for his son. I also hope the bad publicity gets him out of the "ministry" business. I think if it doesn't start to look promising on the book/speaking tour that his mentor will kick him to the curb. Someone suggested that he might be sent packing with a bucket of PN's money, never to be heard from again!
Southern girl, have to wonder about the friends. Although one came out and gave an interview or two. Her sister Amber's post yesterday was interesting. She mentioned Davey several times and I realize they are trying to keep Weston in their lives, but if I were Amanda's sister, I'd rather not post at all than to have to form one kind sentence about Davey.
On a sidenote, I'm sure by this point the FOI requests have been in for the 911 call, it will
be interesting to see when they release not only Davey's 911 call, but others who made 911 calls as well.
Anon at 10:05,
Re: 911 calls
Now that I know Davey's call followed the neighbor's 911 by 5 minutes, I'm interested in hearing hers too. I don't think she was in on this (maybe he just shared her schedule) but I guess anything is possible.
I didn't realize Amanda's sister also uses the "nothingiswasted" hashtag as well.
I believe he said that because that's likely exactly what the police asked him - who would do this ? So when someone asks you that, if you don't know who would want to hurt her, you might say that. I believe he said that as an answer to the guy on GA who interviewed him and asked that very question. I think him saying "we" is far more suspicious. I get that. But I also see the possibility that he sees himself as spokesperson for the family in that regard. Not hard to believe that the police was asking the whole family -- "Who might do this?" Maybe even been asked many times.
Yes, I believe sex is in the center because of the murder scene description of amanda having her panties beside her and her shirt pulled up. But again, lets examine the guy who was the triggerman and was the for quite some time alone with her. Guy is young but recently charged with exposing himself in a target. Does this sound like a guy who you would be surprised if he attempted to rape her and that is what led to murder when she resisted and tried to gain control of the gun ?
Not that Taylor being a sexual deviant makes Davey innocent. But lets get real here and not just assume it's implausible that this guy did that just because who he is and couldn't do that unless involved in an elaborate hit man situation.
I agree on the 911 calls. It would be good to hear both of them. Why does it have to be the babysitter ? What about the woman 2 doors down being involved and being his lover ?
I think that every angle should be investigated.
I know it's tempting to just say it's the babysitter/past intern, and it's a good place to start.
I would love to hear from the family , and hear them answer the question of whether they think Davey was involved. I kind of think they have to be suspicious for all the same reasons we are.
She was still commenting on Amanda's Instagram photos after she moved out. Amanda commented that Weston was walking around lost without her saying "meh meh". It breaks my heart thinking about him looking for his mama.
RE: OBJECTIVITY
Try as I might I simply cannot look at an apple and think "hmmm...maybe its an orange"
Davey Blackburn is guilty and its not just me that thinks so.
What about all the evidence I presented? You just ignored it all.
Are the Resonate fambly infiltrating this blog....oh my...?
I tend to agree $$$ is behind this, but also sex
Im just waiting for the nubile help maiden to pop up babysitting Weston...
There's a movie called Sins of the Preacher on tv as I write this. I got me thinking that I still feel something is amiss with Davey Blackburn. I just can't shake it.
Here is something posted on websleuths and is interesting, but not if you have made your mind up about this case i'm sure.
To preface this report, it was reported that the suspects moved out of the westlake apartments in early november.
http://www.wthr.com/story/30437926/woman-raped-at-home-in-indianapolis-apartment
1. Suspects in amanda blackburn murder lived in that complex until early november
2. please note the details of this burglary/rape - do they sound familiar ?
So, what are the odds on the suspects for blackburn case, who reportedly lived there, might be investigated for this crime as well ?
So, like I said, lets not just assume that Taylor doesn't do this kind of thing without a more elaborate motive. I'd say the probability of him being involved in that crime as well is higher than Davey being involved in amanda's murder. And if Taylor was indeed involved in this burglary/rape, then do the odds of him doing the same thing a few weeks later go up or down ?
"Sources say all three men will also be charged in three more burglaries, as well as a rape at the Westlake Apartments."
Does Peter want to analyze those odds ? What are the odds there ?
full scope of evidence can change the odds. All I am saying is lets not close our eyes to a very high probability that these guys were doing what they have always done.
If you didn't know about davey -what would your gut be saying now ?
Maybe this is where Davey picked up the Church & CrossFit message.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/28/us/some-turn-to-church-others-to-crossfit.html
Since we've all stepped away from Statement Analysis and we're just "maybe-ing" here:
Maybe Taylor was chosen to do this since he was the young hothead known to be itching to kill someone? And maybe his arrest for sexual deviance made him the perfect choice to send in if the person who ordered this wanted Amanda raped?
Maybe he was supposed to rape her but was too wasted to follow through. Maybe he heard a noise (the baby?) and got scared.
As to the "Who would do this and Amanda having no enemies" question/answer - I don't know why the police would ask that if it just looked like thug-robbers were going house to house. Maybe they were just asking to see what he would say. Sometimes people involved in crimes start offering up likely suspects. Maybe they were looking for that and he didn't bite.
I'm back to hoping they carefully look at the chain of gang-bangers and hope somebody soon needs to trade information for a deal. A. Bull is in domestic bliss right now but if you look at his wife's page, that's only just since the summer. That harmony could turn around quickly and she might have a story to tell. Read a bit of her wall and you'll discover she can get cussin' mad in a hurry.

"Im just waiting for the nubile help maiden to pop up babysitting Weston.."
Somebody should call one of the neighbors and ask if MG has stepped into the mothering and furniture-finishing roles already.
It's routine to ask that question in any murder. You don't assume anything. They likely asked the parents, siblings, friends, everyone.
They'd be incompetent to not ask.
This is not directly about statement analysis, but if Peter hadn't made the statement "what are the odds?" I'd have never posted. I think it's reckless to start down that path while completely disregarding the odds that the suspects were the very type that do this kind of thing regularly.
If Peter sticks to the statement analysis and and not evaluating probability without full scope, I'd have no issue.
That's why courts use full evidence and not statement analysis alone. I get that it's Peter's gig, but makes me wonder if maybe being more provocative with his words means more web traffic and that's the motivation ? In a sense, he has his congregation same as Davey and the product of a crazy twisted murder sells better than the same old career criminal doing what they do all the time?
Saying "what are the odds?" is clearly a way of saying - i'm not saying, but i'm just saying.
Don't dislike Peter, and value his analysis, but call it like i see it. objectively.
I'm not sure I get your argument.
Do I doubt that these guys are thugs and that robbing and raping are their chosen careers? Nope.
Would I be surprised if they had done these things before and after the Blackburn case? Nope.
If DB or someone close to him was looking for a hitman, would I expect him/her to choose someone unconnected to criminal enterprise? Nope.
Am I surprised that the chosen thugs committed a backdoor burglary at an apartment complex, left after knowing they were caught on camera and drove across town to commit another backdoor burglary, waited around drinking for a while, then committed a front door robbery (without even trying the back door), killing the woman of the house? Yes.
But, you do have to consider "what are the odds?" and that only 10% of murders of pregnant women are random (not boyfriend or husband). That's only rational thinking.
Blackburn's blog (Dec 12, 2008):
"When you're knee deep in crap, you can't smell it. it's only a passer-bye that can detect the foul odor coming from your direction. Start sniffing with their fresh nose (from the outside looking in) if you ever want to get out of your fesces-covered situation."
FYI, I took a screen shot. You can access his blog through his Twitter account.

Objectivity is so yesterday.
Live a little!
Seriously, hang around here a while and you'll see that Peter is very careful with his words when doing statement analysis. The fact that he hasn't called Davey downright guilty of involvement in this murder must call for incredible self-restraint. It sounds like the investigators and psychologists he regularly meets with are struggling with this too. No one in his Tuesday group thought DB wasn't guilty of "something".
So we shall watch and see. I imagine the offers of $$ for interviews are coming in to the mother "church". How convenient that they will then be tax-free?! But the marbles will start to leak as Davey speaks and we'll learn more than he wants us to know. It's inevitable. Then you and I and these other nice folks can go could go back to whatever we used to do on Friday nights!
One thing I notice about Davey Blackburn -
He's really, really good at telling other people what to do.
I've hung around for a while already, not just this case.
Saying "what are the odds?" is a way of saying, cmon... it's obvious. Do we need a statement analysis to read between those lines ?
The fact that you just heard that these guys regularly do the same thing, still has you coming up with reasons as to why they could do that and still be hit men is interesting to me. I'm even saying that is plausible still! But I'm not ignoring the odds of of which is more likely. Your perspective is such that you believe those odds are low. I get it, just can't agree objectively.
You don't have to be objective, most aren't. But thanks for the conversation, you did point out some interesting aspects that are worth thinking about. thanks again.
@southerngal said "But, you do have to consider "what are the odds?" and that only 10% of murders of pregnant women are random (not boyfriend or husband). That's only rational thinking."
I have never said that someone shouldn't weigh those odds. But you should ask yourself, what was the evidence in those 10% of murders. Because if you are being objective, you'll entertain the idea that career burglars doing exactly what they always do, as rather high odds for guilt in a case like this.
I still have a % of me that believes Davey is guilty. My gut says he can't be ruled out yet. But I ain't closing my eyes because someone throws out a 90% for ALL cases. Is this one of the 10% ? At least entertain that and be objective.
Even the evidence of them being career burglars and are now also likely to be charged for another burglary/rape earlier in the month, doesn't convince me Davey is innocent. But it sure as hell pushes me away from my immediate gut feeling that he was guilty, same as everyone else believes.
I am open to the idea that I can be wrong. Examine the evidence. The odds aren't as simple as what you stated or Peter's analysis and his comments suggest.
Keep looking for the links between davey and the suspects. But don't lose sight of how much more dangerous those suspects are on a day to day basis, without even a hitman motive needed.
@southerngal I should ask early on. Have you made up your mind already?
I love the civility of our discussion tonight.
We've had some "defend-Davey-at-all-cost-and-out-of-all-sense-of-reason" people here in the past week, calling others names and especially, disdaining that the commenters must be women. It's not like anything I've seen here before. It was as though Davey was in the midst of us and perhaps he was.
Thanks for the interesting conversation. I will keep you in my thoughts when my objectivity wains in the future.
Ok, I think I'm done for the night. My wondering based on all the comments I've seen over the the past week or so on this blog, is what % of people making these comments would ever be chosen for a jury if their comments were used as a determining factor.
If your goal is to not be on a jury, just talk about you using your gut instincts instead of evidence and making your mind up quick without fully evaluating all pertinent aspects of a case. You'll be out of there in no time!
But seriously, thanks for the discussion, I did get 2 good motives for why these suspects wouldn't talk about davey/hit if that was the true scenario. I admit, they are plausible. They should be looking for the links between davey and this gang to make sure all bases are covered.
Anon said, *you don't give CPR to someone who is still alive/breathing."
Totally UNTRUE. The old saying that you never perform CPR on a beating heart is NOT VALID per studies done. Unfortunately, people still think that you should not perform CPR while that person is lying there gasping or unresponsive. The chances that a lay person or bystander could harm someone by pressing on their chest are SLIM to NONE even if the heart is working normally. IT's better to perform unnecessary chest compressions on someone with a beating heart than to withhold CPR and circulation from someone that has no/or irregular heartbeat.
If Davey was "trained" he should have immediately rolled her over and started CPR. He should have been covered in blood by the time the EMT's got there. Do we have any information in regards to Davey's appearance at the hospital when police got there at 9:01 am to question him? Or from neighbors that saw him leave with the ambulance?
The number one thing, I feel, that people are not talking about and increases the "odds" of Davey having something to do with her murder is that he DID NOT convey information to 911 to the point where 911 would have dispatched EMT's AND POLICE. Just imagine that for a second..you come home to find your spouse as Amanda was found, call 911, and are either so blase about what the situation truly is, or you neglect to tell 911 "My wife is lying in a pool of blood, naked from the waist down on the floor of our living room and things are overturned, etc....911 would dispatch police along with EMT. Whatever Davey said, or didn't say, POLICE were not sent!! EMT's had to call police once they arrived and saw a scene vastly different than what Davey portrayed in the 911 call. That sends off more hinky vibes than anything else in this mess in my book.
ok. so they are career criminals. got it. also 'another' burglary/rape. did they execute anyone else? specifically any other petite, harmless, probably defenseless, pregnant young women? not a stretch assuming the savages went through the entire house and knew of the baby in crib. yet he was not harmed.
To anon 12:01 - NO DOUBT. I've already said it once, do I have to say it again? He is another Scott Peterson! Duh!
I apologize, I am speaking from my own understanding. I must be as old as the saying :)
You saying this will have me looking into that, thank you. I would agree that's a great question to ask Davey. I will admit that I don't know what is appropriate in the given situation.
I haven't seen the 911 call, but would very much like to hear it as well as a clearer accounting of what went on.
I have read the same thing you have said about the Police/EMTs, but I have not seen a report giving details like that. Can you point me to that information ? I would agree that if that if whatever he said didn't indicate that police were needed, there's reason to question that.
I have seen this said by people, but I've not seen a confirmed report of that. Would be grateful if you do have a link to that being reported.
Thanks lynda.
Yes, what Lynda said at 12:15am - Davey made the 911 call describing Amanda as injured and unconscious but not indicating in any way that it looked like a crime scene, that things were out of order. He made it sound like a medical situation only, hence the reason the police did not arrive at first..
Combine that with his description to his close friend and mentor Perry Noble of a "head wound"- same with the language to Amanda's sister - definitely was hiding the reality of the situation. He almost made it sound like a fall down the stairs - or maybe hitting and cutting her forehead on the corner of the kitchen cabinets....
NO DOUBT - I am so hoping LE is looking at Davey with fresh eyes - or maybe they don't need to and already know - because if their instincts were correct when walking into the scene and talking to him afterward, they have to have known from their experience that things were not adding up, not in the least.
Here is the link to the affadavit of probable cause -
http://www.scribd.com/doc/291143533/Affidavit-of-Probable-Cause-in-Amanda-Blackburn-Case
and the relevant portion is on page 14 of 25
not a stretch to assume they were ratted out by the very one(s) who sent them. did DB express any fear the savages were still lose? police not on scene first.omission of facts to 911 ? police always arrive first IF a violent crime is reported
I think he waited on the driveway (where he could see activity and people coming and going) until the neighbor/owner of the house that was burglarized arrived home. He knew they would see what had happened in their house and would call 911 - which they did at 8:17am. Then, he called 911 at 8:22am (five minutes afteward) - thus establishing a pattern in the same neighborhood around the same timeframe. . .

"ok. so they are career criminals. got it. also 'another' burglary/rape. did they execute anyone else? specifically any other petite, harmless, probably defenseless, pregnant young women? not a stretch assuming the savages went through the entire house and knew of the baby in crib. yet he was not harmed."
Yes, they are savages. I think that's my point is that anyone that did this, didn't need a hitman motive imo. I honestly don't know what happened other than it appears the bullet wounds would indicate a struggle. Other evidence we know about panties off and shirt up indicate that maybe there was indeed an attempt at rape.
In the other case, we have no idea if that woman struggled via reaching for the gun or something of that nature. What we do know is supposedly that in this case the murderer said that she came at him in some way and he shot her to stop her from scratching him. While not conclusive, it does seem like maybe a plausible response to a rape attempt.
In the san clemente burglary earlier in the night. What happens if someone woke up during the burglary ? Do you think murder is off the table ? Reportedly the suspect said he wanted to go back and murder her because they learned they were recorded.
All this is not proving Davey's innocence one bit. But it is making a case that these guys could be extremely dangerous in a given situation. So we have to evaluate that evidence and say yes, these guys are out there burglarizing and raping and if the situation occurs in a struggle - is it believable they might kill ? sure. I have no problem believing that. You can suggest that they draw the line at a given point, but for me... I think they don't need a hit request to be capable of murder or rape.
Anyone who is a rapist for that matter, you will have little trouble in getting me to agree that the scenario going any given direction off their plan could likely end in murder. That's not implausible to me in the least.
I can acknowledge that both davey and these suspects are capable of a murder scenario.
What you are seemingly trying to tell me is that only davey is capable and you are making a case for what these other guys did as "mmmm.. i don't know if they could murder unless it was a hit".
Sorry, I can't go there with you. I believe both are plausible.
Thanks so much for that. I did read the probable cause, but I didn't catch that detail. I agree, if that 911 call is deceptive then that's real evidence that supports Davey was involved.
I do wish they'd release that 911.
It all depends on what was said. Because it's also not implausible that 911 might be at fault. Hearing the 911 tape should make that clear as to whether Davey misrepresented the situation or not.
Thanks again for that!
What is the protocol for LE releasing the 911 call? Are they going to or not?
thanks for that. I do get that if he misrepresented the situation, that's subject to scrutiny. But that is the probable cause document, and they may or may not include all details regarding the 911 call. They might feel that it was only pertinent to say that he called 911 and gave information about his wife being injured/unconscious. Remember their narrative is purely to show probable cause to charge these guys. So there is likely more details that might clarify this , mainly 911 call. If not, I agree it's a significant detail that law enforcement needs to address.
anon @ 12:32 someone gave the link but here it is again for you..
page 14 is what is of interest.
The affadavit leaves out the impressions or appearance of Davey at the hospital. He very well could have changed into scrubs by then but I am hoping police confiscated his clothing regardless.
What Davey effectively did by not relaying appropriate information for the 911 to dispatch police is allow contamination of the scene. There were no police photos of Amanda as she lay which is VITAL to an investigation. He could have moved things, upended furniture, cleaned stuff, whatever. The scene is contaminated and there are NO crime scene photos with Amanda's body in them as she was already out of the house when police came. Coincidence or the work of a diabolical plan to contaminate? Hinky, hinky, hinky. I keep saying they are not releasing the 911 call because if they did, I think public opinion would be calling for Davey Blackburns arrest and even the great Perry Noble could not offset Davey's lack of concern or relaying of appropriate information regading the condition of his wife.
