New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall and Takacs Quartet for the Celebrity Series
Live Performance Feature: Takacs Quarter for the Celebrity Series at Jordan Hall in Boston
A while back, in early December, I was lucky enough to see Takacs Quartet perform at New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall as part of the Celebrity Series of Boston. No pictures are allowed during the performance but I was able to take this photo beforehand, which shows off the beautiful venue and the intimate setting from a quartet performance.
The quartet performed pieces by Haydn, Timon Andres and Dvorak. During intermission, I heard a lot of audience members sniff a vague disapproval of the Modern piece by Andres. It's not for everyone, but I am a fan. (Of course I am a fan; that's the same general art movement that influence all my favorite poets.)
My friend and I noticed, though, that we were one of the few "young people" and we're both in our 30s (so not really young). Was it because Classical music just doesn't appeal to a younger audience? But then I remembered attending the free performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Hatch Shell featuring the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company performing the play and the Landmark Orchestra performing Mendellsohn's inspired composition. That was as crowded as you can get with a very diverse age range. So, I think it's a matter of cost. The younger people would probably go to the performances, if they could afford it. And if they were in the audience, there might be less nose crinkling over the avant garde Modernist composers.

What Is the Difference Between an Epithet and a Kenning?
Differentiating Between Epithets and Kennings Okay, let's try to differentiate between Epithets and Kennings. It's tough when this stuff is so similar! I'll provide the standard literary definitions of the two terms, give some common examples, discuss the nuanced differences, and then do an exercise myself!
What is an Epithet (in the literary sense)? Epithet (plural epithets) - the "literary" epithet definitions are as follows:
1. A term used to characterize a person or thing. The adjective "Terrible" in Ivan the Terrible.2. A term used as a descriptivesubstitute for the name or title of a person. The Young Pretender for Charles Edward Stuart.
What is a Kenning? Kenning (plural, kennings) is similar - a kenning is a kind of epithet, like a simile is a kind of metaphor; I'd say the difference is in directness.
Kenning- use of a roundabout phrase for a common thing, eg 'whale's land' for 'sea'. It was very common in Anglo-Saxon vers…
Suggested Names for Those Who Are Not a Millennial but Not Quite Gen X
What Do You Call the People Who Are in Gen X/Millennial Label Limbo? This graphic up there puts my age group squarely in Millennial, but there are a lot who put me as a young Gen-Xer.
I don't feel like I fully belong in either! There've been some fun-to-read pieces on this "microgeneration" who sit on the cusp of either Gen X or Millennial, and interesting monikers for us, too.
"Generation Jordan Catalano" is one, in reference to the short-lived but much beloved TV series "My So-Called Life" starring Claire Danes. So beloved, I think, because it captures that time period for those who were in high school/middle school during the height of the Alternative Music Grunge Era. Gen X is the most "Existential Crisis" of Generations. To be a teenager during the hey day of such malaise among the people slightly older than you is to double down on the Existential Crisis that is Teenagerhood. MSCL captured that "ugh"-ness of the time an…
Pertinent Question: Is Grimace Black? - A Contemplation Prompted by the TV Show Pysch
The Quirky Conversations of Psych: Is McDonald's Grimace Black?
I was watching Pysch on Demand tonight (whoo hoo exciting Saturday!) and Shawn and Gus were debating on the race of Grimace.
Gus insisted that Grimace was "a brother." Shawn said, "I'll give you Vin Diesel. But Grimace? No." Later in the episode, Gus declared that Grimace's name was "Grimace T. Jackson" thus proving he is black.
So fricken funny. I LOVE that show.
Research: So, What IS Grimace???
I googled "grimace is black" and got to this site, which was hilarious. Even the comments were awesome: http://www.gunaxin.com/what-is-grimace/11120
Here's a Twitter thread, the the McDonald's company even weighed in on:

The Texas capital has no shortage of family-friendly activities for kids of all ages. While Austin has plenty to do outdoors (swimming at Barton Springs or playing outdoors at Butler District Park are perennial favorites), the city is also home to interesting kid-friendly museums, like The Thinkery and the Austin Science & Nature Center. Whatever your little one's speed, here's our list of the 15 best activities for kids in Austin.
Take a Plunge at Barton Springs Pool
Kylie McLaughlin/Getty Images
2201 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704, USA
In July and August, Barton Springs is the most popular daytime hangout for all ages in Austin. The 68-degree water provides welcome relief from the scorching temperatures. For kiddos, the three-acre pool has a huge shallow end and a designated area for floats. The diving board is low enough for small kids, and one of the original springs is near the landing zone, ensuring a constant supply of cold water. In the shallow end, water shoes are recommended since the bottom is rocky and sometimes covered in algae, which can be slippery. There are lifeguards on duty, but the pool is large so keep an eye on children.
Play a Round at Peter Pan Mini Golf

1207 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704-1007, USA
It’s hard to miss the giant green Peter Pan statue as you drive by. A south Austin institution since 1948, the facility has two 18-hole courses full of dinosaurs, pirates, whales and other whimsical characters. The west course is challenging, but the east course involves mostly straight shots, and you’ll hear the occasional "whoop" signifying a hole-in-one. In keeping with its retro image, the course only takes cash, so be prepared. Adults are allowed to BYOB, so there may be a few mildly tipsy players, but they rarely get rowdy. There’s also a picnic area that can be rented for birthday parties.
Ride on the Zilker Zephyr Miniature Train

Starting at Barton Springs, the half-hour ride meanders through scenic Zilker Park and along Lady Bird Lake in an open-air mini-train. The route goes through two short tunnels, which is exciting for the little ones. There’s plenty to see along the way, including joggers, kayakers, dogs and ducks. You’ll also catch glimpses of the downtown skyline, meadows filled with wildflowers (in spring) and towering bald cypress trees. The train leaves every hour on the hour, and admission is cash only. You can keep the fun going after the ride at the large playscape near the train depot.
Get Little Brains Whirring at Austin's Children’s Museum
1830 Simond Ave, Austin, TX 78723, USA
With the goal of challenging children’s brains while keeping them amused, The Thinkery is a children’s museum on steroids. Kids can learn about fluid dynamics (and get wet) in the Currents exhibit while tinkering with water walls and fountains. It’s a good idea to bring a change of clothes and water shoes. Fortunately, there are child-sized dryers available. Meanwhile, The Inventor’s Workshop invites kids to create by offering hands-on workstations for everything from woodworking to electronics. For younger kids, there are also story times throughout the day. The outdoor play area has ropes and a jungle gym for your little monkeys.
Splash and Romp at Butler District Park

The main attraction is the hilltop splash pad at the center of the park. Ideal for kids under eight, the water-spewing area is just big enough for a quick run-through, which most little ones do while screaming joyously. The hill offers a great view of downtown and the ponds at the base of the hill. Plus, there are several acres of green space between the park and the Long Center. This space tends to be less crowded than Auditorium Shores or Zilker Park. And if you get hungry, the Barton Springs restaurant row is nearby.
Get Wild at the Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary
The Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary
10808 Rawhide Trail, Austin, TX 78736, USA
As educational as it is entertaining, the Austin Zoo houses only animals that have been rescued from private homes and other settings that were not suitable for wildlife. The zoo is also small enough to explore thoroughly in about an hour. The black panther and Galapagos tortoise are must-sees. In the petting zoo, kids can feed some extremely friendly goats. Kids who like scary animals will appreciate the bizarre hyenas and iguanas. The zoo also has a coatimundi, a raccoon-like mammal that is actually native to Texas but is rarely seen in the wild.
Hike at Barton Creek Greenbelt

Barton Creek Greenbelt Trail, Austin, TX 78746, USA
For the little hikers in the family, the Barton Creek Greenbelt offers miles and miles of unstructured fun. Make sure the little ones wear shoes with good traction because portions of the trail meander over big boulders that are slippery after a rainstorm. Also, beware of over-excited dogs running along the trail off-leash. In their exuberance, they can easily bowl over a small child, particularly on the narrow section of the route. Portions of the trail are shaded, but most of it is in full sun so bring plenty of water, hats, and sunscreen. The entrance to the trail is in the parking lot of Barton Springs.
Hunt for Bones at the Austin Nature & Science Center
2389 Stratford Dr, Austin, TX 78746, USA
Kids love the Dino Pit, where they can dig up reproductions of actual dinosaur fossils found in central Texas. The giant sand pit is also dotted with informative signs that help children learn more about the ancient creatures and paleontology in general. The large dinosaur tracks are based on actual tracks found several years ago during the construction of a nearby building. The center also runs a wildlife rehabilitation facility that houses recuperating wildlife, such as bobcats, hawks and owls. The Small Wonders exhibit features lizards, fish, turtles and snakes you might encounter around Austin. Nature-oriented day camps are available throughout the summer.
Roam and Run at Mueller Lake Park
Ana Cantú
4550 Mueller Blvd, Austin, TX 78723, USA
Located within walking distance of the Thinkery, this park in the heart of the Mueller neighborhood consists of 30 acres surrounding a six-acre lake. The kids will have plenty of open space to roam as well as five miles of gravel and concrete paths that wind through the park. While swimming in the lake is prohibited, catch-and-release fishing and duck feeding are allowed. The fenced-in playground area features standard swings and slides in addition to jungle gyms and whimsical sculptures. If you get hungry, food trucks are usually parked nearby, making for a great impromptu picnic.
Trek Up Mount Bonnell

Mt Bonnell, Austin, TX 78731, USA
One of the most scenic spots in Austin, Mount Bonnell is a 775-foot hill overlooking Lake Austin. The long stairway to the top is a snap for most kids, though parents may be a little winded by the time they reach the summit. The viewing area at the top has a few benches and partial shade, but it’s not really designed for an extended stay. Most people climb to the top, take a few pictures, have a snack or picnic lunch and head back down. In addition to great views of downtown Austin, you can see the city’s surprising amount of green space.
Dive into Lake Austin

1706 City Park Rd, Austin, TX 78730-4201, USA
Unlike Lady Bird Lake to the east, Lake Austin is mostly surrounded by commercial and residential property. However, public access is available at Emma Long Metropolitan Park. The park has about a mile of waterfront, a designated swimming area and plenty of open space for tossing around a football or a Frisbee. It’s also fun to sit and watch the ski boats cruise by. A small pier is available for fishing. If you’re looking for a more exciting way to experience Lake Austin, head to Keep Austin Wet to rent standup paddleboards, ski boats, and pontoon boats.
Shoot Ray Guns at Blazer Tag Adventure Center
1701 W Ben White Blvd, Austin, TX 78704, USA
Located in a former movie theater, this multilevel laser tag facility gives kids a safe place to act out their war-hero fantasies. After watching a two-minute orientation, they’ll be ready to suit up and start shooting. Players get to come up with their code names, which are displayed on a scoreboard. A light-sensitive vest records the “shots” from light-emitting guns. The guns have a relatively long range, so it’s possible to shoot someone at the other side of the arena from the elevated Sky Trail. Participants can learn teamwork, patience and how to be downright sneaky when necessary. There’s also an on-site arcade and snack bar.

Gawk at Flying Mammals at Congress Avenue Bat Bridge

100 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78704, USA
Even hard-to-impress kids will be amazed by the sight of 1.5 million bats emerging from the underside of the Congress Avenue bridge. The bats make their nightly appearance just before sunset between March and October. If you arrive early enough, the best viewing is from the top of the bridge. That vantage point allows you to see the emergence as well as their continued flight to the east. However, the area below the bridge has a hillside that gives kids the option of running around or lying down. From that position, you’ll see only the initial part of the spectacle, but it’s still awesome.
Reach New Heights at Mt. Playmore
13609 N Interstate Hwy 35, Austin, TX 78753, USA
Equipped with one of the largest indoor playscapes in town, Mt. Playmore is an ideal destination for rainy days. The ingeniously designed space features a central seating area for exhausted parents. For those who want to play along with the kids, the climbing features and tunnels are built with enough space for grown-ups. Security is a priority; kids and parents get matching blacklight stamps that are double-checked when you exit. Mt. Playmore also features an arcade, a toddler area, and a restaurant. For kids who love critters, there’s even a live reptile show every Wednesday.

Free Theatre and Family Workshops by the Thames
Michael Holland Added 10th Jul 2019 0
London’s Free Open Air Theatre Season returns to The Scoop at London Bridge City with the world premiere of The Sea Queen, a one-hour family show about the Irish pirate Grainne O’Malley, and Shakespeare’s popular romantic comedy Twelfth Night. The productions form an integral part to the programming for Summer by the River festival which runs throughout June, July and August.
As with all the events here, there’s no need to book – just turn up and take a seat! There’s room for 1,000 people at every performance.”
These two plays and their two respective heroines, Grainne and Viola, will place the stories of strong, independent women at the heart of our season. It will also be the first year that one of the plays of William Shakespeare is being presented by the Company. Telling classic narratives in modern ways, with strong female role models, is central to the approach being taken by this season’s director, Rae McKen.
McKen said: “I believe that the free season of theatre at The Scoop provides an opportunity for audiences from all backgrounds (young and old, seasoned theatregoers and first timers, and those for whom the cost of theatre is prohibitive) to see excellent shows in a wonderful, communal setting. This year I am so happy to have the opportunity to direct a wonderful, talented cast, as diverse as our audiences in one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies as well as the tale of Grainne O’Mhaille.”
‘The Sea Queen’
Join Grainne O’Malley; pirate, chieftain and Irish queen of the seas, as she sets sail on her greatest adventure yet. Her family are prisoners, held in the dark dungeons of Dublin Castle by the evil Sir Richard Bingham. To save their lives she must embark for London, overcoming storms, buccaneers, and mutiny, before finally facing her implacable foe; England’s Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I. Based on the true story of Ireland’s legendary 16th century heroine, this voyage is for anyone who has dreamed of an ocean adventure. Come dance a jig, sing a sea shanty and live the life of a sea queen. Written by Daniel Winder.
‘Twelfth Night’
Experience Shakespeare’s famous tale of unrequited love in all its hilarious and heartbreaking splendour, entirely for free. Separated from her twin Sebastian in a shipwreck, Viola must fend for herself in a strange land. Havoc ensues through mistaken identity and heartache as Viola falls in love with Orsino, who dotes on Olivia, who falls for Viola but is idolised by Malvolio… ‘I am all the daughters of my father’s house, And all the brothers too.’
Family Workshops: Running in tandem with the shows will be a series of free Saturday theatre workshops for families in nearby Hay’s Galleria – why not make a day of it and enjoy one of the free performances of ‘The Sea Queen’ after the workshop? Workshops are at 11am, an hour long and are drop in – no need to book.
O’Malleys Crew 10 August
Grainne O’Malley, queen of the Sea, is seeking bold buccaneers for her crew. Become a pirate queen with this free theatre workshop.
Sea-Shanty Scallywags 17 August
“Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate’s Life for Me” Come learn a tune and sing with performers from London’s Free Open Air Theatre Season. Learn traditional Irish Folk and sing songs of the sea, perfect for any voice whether a mermaid’s or walrus’s!
Davy Jones’ Crafting 24 August
Create your own loot to hide in Davy Jones’ Locker! A workshop that’s perfect for pirates who love arts and crafts.
The Sailors’ Hornpipe 31 August
Join the crew of Grainne O’Malley and learn a jig like a true sailor of the sea.
London’s Free Open Air Theatre Season will run at Scoop, More London, SE1 2AA from Thursday 8 August – Sunday 1 September with both shows playing nightly, Wednesday – Sunday. ‘The Sea Queen’ at 6.00pm & ‘Twelfth Night’ at 8.00pm. Admission: Free.

Canada Post says protests at facilities in some provinces violates court orders
CUPE says 19 protests are scheduled this weekend at facilities across the country
Dec. 1, 2018 12:00 p.m.
Workers strike at the post office in Chase on the morning of Thursday November 8. The four-hour strike is part of nation-wide job action by Canada Post workers represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). According to CUPW, workers are striking for better workplace conditions including better schedules. The rotating strikes have shut down Canada Post operations in over 200 communities across the country. (Rick Koch Photo)
Canada Post says protesters blocking mail from flowing in and out of one of the country’s busiest postal hubs are violating a court order.
The protesters rallying outside of the facility in Mississauga, Ont., are largely members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees acting in solidarity with postal workers who were legislated back to work last week.
The back-to-work legislation was passed on Monday following about five weeks of rotating strikes from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

CUPE says 19 protests are scheduled this weekend at facilities across the country, allowing workers to enter, but not letting mail out of the plants.
The Ontario branch of that union says the protesters have been served with an injunction, but they still plan to protest in solidarity with the postal workers.
The injunctions were granted by courts in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, prohibiting anyone from obstructing or interfering with people or vehicles entering or exiting its facilities.

Home News Home Senior School and Sixth Form Spanish Trip to Catalunya News home
05 November 19 , posted in Senior School and Sixth Form
Students and staff had a memorable trip to Northern Spain at half term visiting the historic region of Catalunya.
In the very early hours of the morning (2.00am!) staff and students assembled, bleary-eyed but excited, ready for the coach journey to the airport and the flight to Barcelona, Spain’s second city and the capital of the Catalan province. The coach journey to Tossa allowed the first glimpse of this most beautiful but rugged coastline – it is not called La Costa Brava (The Brave Coast) for nothing! Day one was spent relaxing and getting to know the town, which was beautiful, despite the heavy rain. The hotel was central, modern and welcoming, and the pool and food were superb.
The next day was busy, with excursions to the north taking in Figueres and Girona. Figueres town is the birthplace of artist Salvador Dalí and houses the Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí, a large museum designed by Dalí himself which attracts many visitors.
It was raining heavily by the time the group left Girona , where they enjoyed sightseeing around the Cathedral area and indulging in a little ‘retail therapy’. Girona itself is a most beautiful and historic city at the confluence of four rivers (which were later to burst their banks and flood many roads in the town (It put down 100 cubic centimetres of rain in twelve hours) – but the worst to befall our intrepid travellers was that their pizza boxes got too soggy to carry!
Barcelona was again a day full of action, starting with a visit to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral. Begun in 1882 and still under construction, when completed it will have taken longer to build than the Egyptian Pyramids, and only 50 years less than the Great Wall of China. Students’ cries of “Wow! That’s awesome!” as they rounded the corner and glimpsed the building for the first time were the first of many that day, as the group then enjoyed the Poble Espanyol, Las Ramblas and last but by no means least, the Noucamp stadium.
The following day was a day of sheer R & R – PortAventura themepark was in a really festive mood, all trimmed up in readiness for Halloween and decorated with tens of thousands of pumpkins! There were several extremely tired students who returned to the hotel that evening, but at least it had stopped raining!
The last day the students bid farewell to Tossa with a short walk to the small cove below the castle, where some students were able to relax whilst others did some last-minute souvenir shopping. Everyone enjoyed an ice-cream before boarding the coach to Montserrat Monastery. The ascent and descent via cable car added to the thrill of this unique place.
A wonderful time was had by all and the students, as ever, were fine ambassadors for the School.

Two new grocery stores coming to northeast side
Residents in the nearby area said driving more than five minutes for groceries will soon be a thing of the past.
Posted: Mar 2, 2018 6:06 PM
Updated: Mar 3, 2018 8:24 PM
Posted By: Abby Jackson
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT)- Two popular grocery store chains are planning to build new locations in northeast Allen County. A new Meijer is projected for the intersection of Dupont and Tonkel Roads, and right across the street Kroger purchased land.
"I can maybe get a golf cart and go over there to the grocery store," said Ruth Ann Wiegmen.
For elderly people like Wiegmen and her husband, David, grocery stores right in their back yard would be a life saver.
I'm the driver. David can't drive anymore. So it'll be convenient for us especially if I get to the point where I can't drive," Wiegmen said.
The 150,000 square foot Meijer store will be smaller than others in Fort Wayne, but still come with all the staples including a deli, bakery, pharmacy, and a gas station out front.
Across the street a 100,000 square foot Kroger will also serve the area.
"I'm super excited about just being able to run down the street to get any groceries, ingredients that I forgot for dinner or whatever," said Lynette Osborn.
The stores will give everyone in the area an option, but busy moms like Osborn said it's no competition.
"I prefer Meijer... They can't build it fast enough in my opinion," she said.
The spokesman for Kroger said he doesn't have a timeline for the project yet, but Meijer is expected to be completed by 2020.

WhatsOn Music
Gigspanner Big Band
Tickets: £20.00 / £18.00 (Members / benefit conc / student)
Periodically, the bringing together of influential musicians, all with their own unique identity, produces an electrifying force that is even greater than the impressive sum of its parts.
As a trio, Gigspanner, formed by fiddle player Peter Knight (ex-Steeleye Span), has established a reputation as one of the most genuinely ground-breaking forces on the British folk scene, inspiring Maverick magazine to write “Gigspanner are pushing at the boundaries, expanding the possibilities and in the process making some of the most beautiful music the genre has to offer” 5*****
BBC Folk Award winners (Best Duo) Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin are described by The Guardian as being “Subtle, bravely original…a combination of virtuosity, intensity and charisma”
And as if that collaboration wasn’t exciting enough in itself, enter John Spiers, co-founder of Bellowhead and one half of the magical duo Spiers and Boden, and most recently, Knight and Spiers.
Their appearances together, with Roger Flack on guitar and Sacha Trochet on hand percussion, are a rare, but highly sought after affair, thanks to performances of dazzling musicianship and arresting on stage chemistry.
Taking self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and beyond, with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat, they produce richly atmospheric arrangements layered within a wealth of subliminal musical influences “with notes seemingly plucked from the stars and rhythms from the equator” Spiral Earth.

Arms Park
Duff facilities hinder Blues
As Cardiff Blues set out on the annual quest for what used to be their Holy Grail, DELME PARFITT asks how they are supposed to compete with Heineken Cup holders Wasps
QUESTION: Which of the following two teams would you fancy to go further in the Heineken Cup, team A or team B?
Team A have a state-of-the-art training facility which they share comfortably with a professional football club.
Everything is on one site and under one banner, you name it, bowling green pitches, gyms, meeting rooms, conditioning suites, a canteen and club offices.
Team B have no fixed training base whatsoever.
They are nomadic, shifting from one location to another, according to what is available. Sometimes different sections of the squad are in different places doing different things.
None of the facilities they use - except their ground - are their own, none carry their own identity. Oh, and this afternoon they were due to train at their own pitch. It was either that or nothing.
Who are these teams?
Answer: Team A is London Wasps. Team B is Cardiff Blues.
And if you really feel the need to answer the question that began this piece, stick your answer on a postcard.....
Probably best not to bother though, because the equation is simple enough.
Until the Blues find themselves a base, a headquarters from where they can conduct the day-to-day preparations that befit a top-class professional rugby team, they can only ever be pretenders to competitions like the Heineken Cup, the tournament they used to annually dub their Holy Grail.
To be at Wasps on Monday for a pre-Heineken Cup press conference was quite simply an education.
Individual players were being given specialist training, others were in the gym, again under guidance, some were having chats with head coach Warren Gatland and all the while music played out.
What a vibe. The whole shebang was the epitome of clockwork professionalism, with a unity of purpose as well as location.
Without intending any pun, there was a real buzz about Wasps.
Top players plus a top environment equals the Heineken Cup - and the trophy was on display in their cabinet to prove it.
The Blues? They were being booted off Cardiff University's Llanrumney fields at noon today to make way for the weekly student sports afternoon.
So their choice was either to carve up the Arms Park surface with a full session this afternoon, or to join the dog mess and broken glass on one of Cardiff's parks pitches.
On less busy days they make do with the soulless and dated Llanrumney facility or pay to use the Welsh Rugby Union's indoor barn at the Vale of Glamorgan Hotel.
Alternatively, they may be found at the David Lloyd Centre at the top of Cardiff's Newport Road with the rest of the paying public.
What, you have to wonder, has happened to the grand plan of stationing a new HQ at the University of Glamorgan sports complex at Treforest, seen last summer as the perfect way of ushering in the new era of Blues expansion into the Valleys following the demise of the Celtic Warriors?
For the time being, it's dead in the water, and whether the Blues were put off by the £70,000 a season it would have cost them to set up camp there, we will almost certainly never know for sure.
What we do know, is that through no fault of their own, Dai Young, Geraint John and their henchmen are unable, at the moment, to prepare their team as they would like for matches against Europe's best.
For that, the region's hierarchy need to take a long hard look at themselves.
Never mind Blues board member Gareth Edwards publicly challenging Young to prove his critics wrong with results. How about Young challenging Edwards and his fellow chieftains to pull their collective finger out?
That won't happen for obvious reasons and Young and John will continue to fight on with one arm tied behind their backs - and of course taking all the stick when the Blues fail to qualify from their Heineken pool.
And it's not just English aristocrats Wasps that bare painful comparison.
If you want proof that facilities equal success, look no further than Celtic League table-toppers the Ospreys.
They will have their OWN indoor barn available to them from November 8, and they already have a training headquarters which would be the envy of some professional football clubs at Llandarcy.
It incorporates two top class outdoor pitches, which will soon be joined by the barn. A gym, a pool for recovery, and meeting and changing rooms at the adjacent Glamorgan Health and Racquets Club are ALWAYS available to the Ospreys players.
Even Newport Gwent Dragons have just built a futuristic gym within Rodney Parade, where there is also a grassed training area, even if at times they have to prepare at different venues like Cwmbran Stadium.
"We continue to work with the governing body to establish appropriate support for the regional game under what is an evolving national facility plan," said Blues chief executive Bob Norster.
"Original draft plans did entail the Blues being associated with the Vale of Glamorgan facility, but following the extension of the region and uncertainty over the Island Farm development, this move is now off the table. Consequently we are currently considering a number of options within the extended region."

FLETCHER: The Danger of the ‘Ethno-Nationalist’ State
Bill Fletcher Jr. January 8, 2020
Benjamin Netanyahu (Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)
One of the most common features of right-wing populist and fascist movements is the demand for ethnic and/or racial purity. During the course of the 20th century we saw it in its most egregious forms in colonial and white minority regimes in the global South, and in the Nazi-led persecution and, later, Holocaust against the Jews.
Ethnic regimes were largely ignored in the mainstream media of the global North until the early 1990s, even when troubling events, such as genocide in Burundi, were unfolding. It was only with the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and the Rwanda genocide (1994) that it became more than apparent that another wave of ethnic cleansing and ethno-nationalist regimes were unfolding.
What are ethno-nationalist regimes? They are political systems that quite openly privilege the alleged rights of a given ethnic or so-called racial group. Apartheid South Africa was certainly an example of a long-running such regime. But the Rwanda genocide when right-wing Hutus went to war to openly eliminate Tutsis (and those Hutus who allied with Tutsis) using the pretext of a civil war, was yet another example.
Right-wing populist leaders such as Donald Trump in the USA, Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and Narenda Modi in India are quintessential examples of leaders who promote ethno-nationalist regimes. Contrary to early 20th century fascists and 19th century “scientific racists,” they do not rely on the rhetoric of racial superiority or inferiority in justifying their politics. Rather they argue either the incompatibility of different racial/ethnic groups and/or that the specific racial/ethnic group which they claim to represent has been, allegedly, aggrieved over the years.
The situation in India at this very moment is illustrating the evolving and serious dangers of ethno-nationalist regimes. The political forces around Modi and his political party — the BJP — have been promoting anti-Muslim rhetoric and practices for years. Their objective is nothing short of eliminating the secular basis of India and replacing it with a Hindu ethno-nationalist state. The recent legislation advanced by Modi and passed in Parliament that offers citizenship to refugees from neighboring countries UNLESS they happen to be Muslim demonstrates the depths of depravity of such regimes. It is, therefore, not surprising that India is exploding.
Netanyahu is a close cousin — politically speaking — of Modi’s. He and his party — the Likud — have always aimed to eliminate the Palestinian presence from not only the occupied Palestinian territories, but from Israel itself. But it is not only the Palestinians that Netanyahu, et.al. wish to eliminate. The language of the regime when it comes to other alleged outsiders is particularly provocative and echoes that of Hindu fascists in India in describing undocumented immigrants, in the case of Israel, as “infiltrators.”
Right-wing populism and ethno-nationalism have become major parts of the global political landscape. It is not only the appearance of Donald Trump; nor is it just Britain’s Boris Johnson. It has emerged, like chickenpox, in numerous places. And, if one is not careful, it can emerge even within the ranks of the oppressed when, in desperation, we sometimes seek to distinguish ourselves from some “Other.”

Champaign County’s Wanted Subject: Autumn Boastick
What would Dr. King say about marijuana legalization?
Coroner rules nursing home death ‘accidental’
by: Erick Payne
Posted: Sep 2, 2017 / 03:42 AM CDT / Updated: Sep 2, 2017 / 03:42 AM CDT
CHAMPAIGN COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — Sonya Kington died in June after she was outside in the heat for hours.
Now the Illinois Attorney General’s Office has been handed the case. They’ll decide if there will be any charges.
We reached out to them today, but we didn’t hear back yet on if there will be any charges. The Illinois State Police is also handling the investigation.
“Especially with children and elderly people, their bodies have a hard time under certain conditions regulating their body temperature.”
And that summer heat was too much for Sonya Kington.
“She was found outside on a day when the temperature reached 90 degrees.”
The coroner says Kington’s death was caused by hyperthermia. It was brought on by the hot weather that day.
“We believe she was possibly out there for several hours, there was nothing out of the ordinary for any other investigation that we would handle. They were passing around drinks for meal time, and it was at that point they realized that Mrs. Kington was not in the nursing home or in that area, they began to search for her and found her in the courtyard.”
Northrup says there was only one nursing home employee who reported seeing her in the courtyard around 3pm. That staff member was later fired.
“From the video, obviously all of the staff that worked in the nursing home appeared to be shook up and concerned when they found her outside.”
In a statement, County Administrator Rick Snider says nursing home patient safety shall always be the number one priority for the Champaign County government.
He says the nursing home is cooperating with all investigations, and he wishes to express their deep sadness regarding Mrs. Kington’s passing.
The coroner told us that for every case there are five options for the manner of death.
He says the only option that really made sense in this incident was “accidental.”
The Champaign County Nursing Home has had a host of problems in recent years, mostly financial. Now, the nursing home is under new a new administration, through SAK Management. They took over on July 1st, and they say they’ve hit the ground running.

DANVILLE, Ill. (WCIA) -- Police say one man was killed when he invaded a home. Authorities responded to a home in the 1000-block of Franklin Street, about 8:30 pm, Sunday, for a report of home invasion in progress with shots fired.
A 31-year old man told officers several suspects armed with guns and wearing ski masks kicked in his door and tried to rob him.

Three concept designers visualize what the 2019 iPhone will look like
Leaks have become a very common part of Apple’s launch process. When you’re as big as Apple is, it’s difficult to keep everyone quiet. Somewhere in some part of the world, a factory worker clicks a picture of the iPhone Gorilla Glass being prototyped, or the aluminum frame being machined, and the rumors spread like wildfire. Helping bring some sort of depth to these rumors are concept phone designers, who quickly put together renders that, after a couple of rumors, end up looking exactly like the new phone. Apple’s made peace with this, because not only is it inevitable, but it also helps their end-users get accustomed to the design long before the release, creating a wave of hype that builds up to the phone launch.
On the other hand you’ve also got concept designers who don’t just simply follow trends. They add a bit of their own expectations to these concepts, creating designs that may seem outlandish, but are well received for their imagination and creativity. It’s perhaps because of these designers we’re still anticipating things like transparent smartphones, or smartphones that wrap around your wrist (Lenovo went and even built one!)
In this article, we’ll take a look at a mix of both the approaches. Two realistic ones that base themselves entirely on reliable leaks, and one that turns things up a notch, no pun intended!
Right below is a visualization by Concept Creator, who’s given the iPhone back its 2011-style aluminum side-frame and signature chamfered edge (like the iPhone 4). Also on board the concept 2019 iPhone is a staggering 5 cameras. 3 on the back, arranged in a linear style, and two on the front, with a double punch design that sort of forms a successor to the notch. The centralized camera system allows you to have portrait-mode shots with your front facing camera too, and could even carry FaceID if the technology supported it. Its location isn’t desirable, but it’s much better than the notch, and the side-hole-punch we’re seeing in the upcoming Huawei and Samsung phones. The glass back on the concept would suggest that the new phone is aggressively pushing the gospel of wireless charging, while it’s hard to tell whether the concept sticks to the Lightning connector or opts for the Type-C connection.
Probably one of the most reliable visualizations come from the twitter handle of Ben Geskin, a young, 20-something designer from Latvia. Geskin’s twitter handle is pretty much a catalog of concept phones based on leaks, from Samsung and Huawei to OnePlus and to Apple. Geskin updates his renders with each subsequent leak, and his final renders almost always match the launches, even down to the color options. His take on the 2019 iPhone is that the phone will pretty much look the same, except for two key differences. One, the back of the phone will have 3 cameras and a flash, and two, Apple will aggressively try to reduce the notch by pushing the speaker module out of it. Looking at the back of the phone, it’s somewhat disconcerting to see how the cameras are laid out asymmetrically (Apple takes perfection almost too seriously, so this is worrisome). The three cameras are arranged in a triangular format, inside a square-shaped camera bump. The flash and the video microphone find themselves struggling for space in this layout and get placed at extremely awkward spots. I doubt Apple would green-light this, but only time will tell. It’s good to see that the notch is made to be significantly narrower now, although once again, not desirable.
And lastly, we have Michael Mojica’s outlandish iPhone that does things we’d expect from Android… modularity. While the world wonders whether the iPhone will have 2, 3, or 5 cameras, Mojica says it can have as many as it wants to. Built with swappable camera modules, Mojica’s 2019 iPhone is customizable to have a primary camera that’s as powerful as you want it. The camera modules magnetically click into their place at the upper-center of the iPhone’s back (an unusual move because every iPhone has had a camera on the top-left), connecting to the smartphone through contact points… much like the kind of experiments Motorola, Essential, and RED have done with modularity in their smartphones. Depending on the price you pay, you can choose anywhere from a 3-lens camera setup to a 6-lens camera setup, allowing you to take stunning photographs that are worthy of the #shotoniphone hashtag!

How Remembrance plays a significant role in keeping war stories alive across generations - The Yorkshire Post says
A tribute at a Remembrance Sunday service in Leeds.
YP Comment
Published: 05:45 Monday 11 November 2019
With each passing year, the importance of Remembrance becomes only more apparent.
As more war stories from a generation that lived through the horrors of global conflict in a past getting ever more distant are lost to the grips of time, stopping to pause and pay respect to those who have served to defend our democratic freedoms and way of life takes on a renewed significance.

Remembrance: The bridge too far that one veteran can still not comprehend
Yesterday, the Royal Family led the nation in remembering the courage, sacrifice and collaboration of those who have stood shoulder to shoulder to protect this country in all periods of conflict, past and present.
This heartening show of unity is now more than just a dedicated time to honour those who have fallen and the veterans and service men and women still with us today.

It is also a vital opportunity to share with today’s generations the stories from two world wars that inevitably now feel much more distant.

Fifa criticized by Brazilian government over telecom blunders
Information to support staging of the Confederations Cup came too late
By Angelica Mari for Brazil Tech | June 28, 2013 -- 19:37 GMT (12:37 PDT) | Topic: Telcos
The Brazilian government criticized Fifa over delays in information required to carry out telecommunications work for the Confederations Cup , at a meeting intended to take stock of the competition this week.
Secretary Cezar Alvarez, second in command at the Ministry of Communications, told reporters at a press conference in Rio de Janeiro today that information around key locations - such as ticket exchange and training venues, where telecoms infrastructure needed to be in place - was not delivered in advance, which caused difficulties to technical teams.
"The time that Fifa took to send us some informations may have jeopardized our work," Alvarez said, adding that these complaints have already been sent over to the football association.

The Communications secretary added that the government will put pressure on Fifa to ensure that the main locations for the World Cup, such as training venues, are defined as soon as possible. However, Alvarez was keen to highlight that the government is not responsible for the provision of telecom services at the venues - but the Ministry of Communications can negotiate improvements in the set-up with the providers of information on the expected demand is provided in advance.
But the Brazilian hosts are also at fault. Alvarez mentioned that the telecoms infrastructure for the stadiums was also the last item on the list, so companies had a lot less time to prepare and implement items such as mobile phone networks in the areas surrounding the venues where the competition is taking place. This was exacerbated by the delay in the construction and renovation work at locations such as the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
The president of state-run telco Telebrás, Caio Bonilha, made the point that the construction work around the stadiums also compromised the integrity of the telecoms network that had only been installed months before. In Recife, for example, telecoms work had to be re-done, as gardeners managed to disrupt the cabling on 11 different places. He added that partners need to get better at sharing information to avoid that kind of issue in the World Cup.
Despite all the complaints of misinformation and the current wave of anti-government protests in Brazil, Fifa was positive about the Confederations Cup. According to the secretary, the transmission infrastructure for the games has worked "very well" so far.

Uncooperative attitude of bankers hurting exports: FIEO
India to send over 100-strong delegation for WEF in Davos; Piyush Goyal, 3 state CMs among participants
World Economic Forum meet starts January 21; Zee Business to bring it all to you LIVE from Davos!
Exporters body FIEO Thursday said the uncooperative attitude of state-owned bankers is hurting exports and it would not be possible to increase shipments without adequate credit support.
Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President Ganesh Gupta demanded quick resolution of bank credit issues to push the country's exports.
"PSU banks officials including MDs, EDs, GMs, AGMs are not accessible to exporters, particularly from the MSME sector. This has tightened the hands of these exporters to take orders as they are not able to discuss issues and challenges with regard to availability and cost of credit to the exports sector," he told reporters here.
He added that the efforts of Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu, who is taking several steps to promote exports, would not fructify if banks fail to lend adequate funds to exporters at affordable rates.
While the government is pushing the Digital India initiative and paperless transactions, the banks are demanding bundles of documents, collateral and other papers for considering applications even for small loans, he said.
"It takes months and months to get these limits approved and in the meantime we lose our orders. The issue needs urgent attention of the government," Gupta added.
He said similar problems are being faced with regard to insurance body ECGC, which shows reluctance to extend insurance cover to exporters.
"They reject claims on very flimsy grounds. I would urge the Commerce Minister to look at the matter on an urgent basis. If banks and ECGC continue to behave like this, we would not be able to register double digit growth rate in exports," he said.
He also made a case for enhancement of duty drawback rates, inclusion of more products like fabrics under export promotion scheme MEIS and extension of the interest equalisation scheme to merchant exporters.
Only these measures can help in achieving USD 350 billion exports and recording substantial growth, he added.
Referring to the issues concerning trade with China, the FIEO chief said India's exports to China grew by about 17 per cent in the first six months of 2018-19.
He further said a sharp decline in exports of copper, ores, minerals and zinc shows that India's exports are moving towards value added products.
On trade with Iran, he said India's exports to the country grew by about 22 per cent in the first six months of 2018-19.
However, the imposition of sanctions has definitely impacted India's shipments as the three-month window provided by the US government got over in August 2018, he said.
"We have been given to understand that UCO Bank is working on necessary modalities to start the rupee payment. This should apply to all exports except those in OFAC list or those under sanctioned entities," he said.
Insurance and shipping remain a challenge for exports to Iran as both European and US based insurance/shipping companies are reluctant to take such business, he said.
Since most of the courier companies have also boycotted Iran, sending exports documents is also a challenge particularly with the unavailability of SWIFT, he said, adding India Post should look into the opportunity to fill the gap.

Insect Farming in Scotland Event Summary
A recent stakeholder workshop brought together key organisations from across the would-be insect supply chain to share information and network.
In 2016, the EU Commission released a white paper which found insect farming could provide a sustainable alternative source of protein for animal feed, while helping reduce the EU’s reliance on protein imports. In 2017, the EU passed legislation allowing use of select insect meal in aquaculture feed. An extension of this allowance to poultry is expected in the next 12-18 months.
Insect farming, particularly of Black Soldier Fly (BSF), offers an intriguing and elegant circular economy opportunity to turn organic residues, including pre-consumer food waste, into feedstock for food systems. Around the world, companies are constructing and operating commercial-scale insect farming plants.
Scotland is well-placed to become a global leader in this emerging industry owing to the Scottish Government’s circular economy objectives and food waste reduction target, and large aquaculture, agriculture and food and drink sectors.
This one-day stakeholder workshop brought together key stakeholders from across the would-be supply chain to discuss information presented by Scottish and international experts and provide a preliminary networking opportunity.
The Need for Alternatives, Sustainable Protein
Dr Richard Newton (Presentation) from the Sustainable group at University of Stirling Institute of Aquaculture demonstrated how growing global protein demand for both animal feeds and human consumption is creating unsustainable environmental pressures on land, habitat and climate, and raising serious concerns about the sustainability of future protein supply.
The Global Driver: the ‘Protein Gap’
Dr William Clark (Presentation) from Zero Waste Scotland explored the regulatory measures governments around the world are using to address the so called 'Protein Gap', how these interventions are applied, and what the recommendations mean for Scotland.
Insect Farming – A Circular Economy Solution
Dr. Elaine Fitches (Presentation) of FERA established how insect farming fits within a more circular economy and closes the loop on organic supply chains, and why governments and businesses around the world see it as a novel source of sustainable protein as well as other valuable by-products.
Christophe Derrien (Presentation) of IPIFF, Ian Murdoch (Presentation) from Scottish Government Animal Health, Fiona Donaldson (Presentation) of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, and Jennifer Howie (Presentation) from Food Standards Scotland confirmed legislation to enable and support insect farming has been developed around the globe, and within the EU and the legal and regulatory trajectory for Scotland.
Significant Protein Demand - Scottish Fish Farming Sector
Dr Sam Houston (Presentation) of the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre explained the potential volumes and benefits of insect derived proteins as a feed ingredient for Scotland’s formidable fish farming sector.
Meet the Ento-preneurs
Thomas Farrugia (Presentation) from Betabugs, Keiran Whittaker (Presentation) of Entocycle, Daniel Murta (Presentation) from Entogreen, and Paul Wright (Presentation) of Multibox spoke about working and innovating in the insect farming sector.
Consistent Feedstock Supply – Scotland’s Agriculture and Food and Drink Sectors
Simon McKeating (Presentation) of Zero Waste Scotland, Julian Bell (Presentation) from Scotland's Rural College, Dr Steven Asiala (Presentation) of the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre, and Allan Crooks (Presentation) from Zero Waste Scotland demonstrated how Scotland’s agricultural and food and drink sectors generate a significant and steady supply of high-quality organic feedstocks as by-products which could be used to feed the insects, and abundant waste heat which may be utilised through co-location of new facilities to mitigate some of the costs.
Business Support and Finance
Amanda Ingram (Presentation) from Zero Waste Scotland, Allison MacPherson (Presentation) of Scottish Enterprise and Caroline MacLellan (Presentation) of Highlands and Islands Enterprise confirmed the wide range of business and environmental funding and support that is available in Scotland.
Practitioner Presentation
Bon Tjeenk Willink (Presentation) from the Dutch insect farming company Protix revealed their journey and business model, and the future they see for the sector.
Zero Waste Scotland and partners would like to thank all speakers for their contribution.

5 things you might not know about new Barcelona head coach Quique Setien
Barcelona have appointed Quique Setien to replace Ernesto Valverde on a contract until the end of the 2021-22 season.
The 61-year-old former Racing Santander and Real Betis boss takes over with the Catalonia club top of LaLiga.
Here, the PA news agency takes a closer look at the new Barcelona manager.
Santander star

— Quique Setien (@QSetien) June 30, 2019
Setien started his playing career with hometown club Racing Santander and would go on to appear over 350 times for them during two stints. A central midfielder with an eye for a goal, he would also begin management at El Sardinero too in 2001 when they were in the Segunda Division. One of his best moments with Racing occurred when he returned there in 1992 and led them to promotion back to LaLiga as a player and he achieved the same feat during his first campaign as a manager there.
Atletico success

After eight years with Racing, Setien moved to Atletico Madrid in 1985 and it was here when he earned international recognition and won three caps for Spain. He also went to the 1986 World Cup, but failed to appear off the bench. He only remained with Atletico for three years, but won the Spanish Super Cup in his first term and also helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup.
Coaching path

— OptaJose (@OptaJose) January 14, 2020
Setien’s coaching career started with Racing, but he moved to fellow Segunda Division side Polideportivo Ejido and then he next became an international manager. For a short period of time in 2006, he was in charge of Equatorial Guinea before a spell as Logrones manager, which ended with his dismissal in 2008. The first break for the experienced coach finally happened with Lugo, where he guided them to the Segunda Division and kept them there before departing for Las Palmas – who were in LaLiga – and leading them to survival. Real Betis took note and appointed him in May 2017 and Setien guided them to Europa League qualification in his maiden season.
History with Barcelona
🔝 ¡MÍSTER QUIQUE SETIÉN! 🔝
✅ Ganar en el Santiago Bernabéu✅ Ganar en el Camp Nou

— LaLiga (@LaLiga) November 11, 2018
Whilst in charge of Betis, Setien was linked with a switch to the Nou Camp in January 2019 after implementing an attractive style of play at the Sevilla-based club. In November 2018, he stunned Valverde’s men with a 4-3 victory. Setien also received a signed shirt from Sergio Busquets during one of these visit to the Nou Camp with the Barca midfielder writing: “For Quique with love and admiration for your way of looking at football. All the best.” Meanwhile Setien’s philosophy has been influenced by the late Johan Cryuff.
Chess fan
❤️💙 Nuevo entrenador del @FCBarcelona_es y un apasionado… ¡del ajedrez!
🎙️ @QSetien: "Me ha ayudado a tener la pausa, a ser capaz de analizar las cosas con más perspectiva"
📽️ Recordamos el día que jugó una partida en LaLigaSports 😍👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/x6OQAXfcZB
— LaLigaSports (@LaLigaSports) January 14, 2020
The experienced manager is a big admirer of chess and is understood to have played against former world champions Anatoli Karpov and Garry Kasparov, although the results of these meetings have not been disclosed. The strategic style of chess can be linked to football and this is a view shared by Setien, who has long been a fan of the board game.

TIMM'S HILL
Wisconsin's Highest
Elev. 1951.5 Ft.
The marker is located at the top of Timm's Hill in Timm's Hill County Park, Hill, Wisconsin 54459.
NOTE: The marker is easy to locate -- the park road is one-way and leads directly to the parking area to access the trial to the tower and the marker. BUT, the trail is very steep and a little treacherous if one is not in good physical condition.
Timms Hill is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Located in north-central Wisconsin in Timms Hill County Park in the Town of Hill in Price County, Timms Hill has an elevation of 1,951.5 ft (595 m). It is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Highway 86, about midway between Ogema and Spirit and about 23 miles (37 km) west of Tomahawk.
A public lookout tower on top offers outstanding views of the surrounding area. Visible to the southeast is Rib Mountain (elev. 1,924 ft, 586 m), 44 miles away by line of sight.
The ten-mile Timms Hill Trail connects to the Ice Age Trail,[3] a National Scenic Trail stretching 1,200 miles (1,900 km) across glacial terrain in Wisconsin.
Timm's Hill Trail
The Timm's Hill Trail is a 10 mile non-motorized trail connecting the Ice Age Trail to Timm's Hill, elevation 1951.5 feet, Wisconsin's highest natural point.

I just discovered your site and have been using it in my fourth grade summer school class in Viroqua, WI. We learned about Wisconsin throughout the year and are spending some time during summer school reading and talking about the history of Viroqua. We plan to take a walking trip to the Pioneer Cemetery and Lucy Stone marker. Thank you for all of your information!

The Bills have signed veteran defensive tackle Corey Liuget after working him out on Tuesday, the club announced.Kaplan: Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella had some pretty strong comments recently to The Athletic.Between 2017 and 2018,000 residents departed from Istanbul, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute.Watch the Dabangg 3 song Hud Hud here: The third instalment in the Dabangg franchise will see Salman opposite Sonakshi and with veteran actor Mahesh Manjarekar’s daughter, Saiee Manjarekar.
Wisconsin attributed Melvin Gordon’s second-half disappearing act to a hip flexor, which makes sense now but wasn’t specified after Saturday’s game.He is expected to enter the season as the first team running back, partly because he has earned it and partly because his main competitor, Kenyan Drake, has missed the last few weeks with a foot injury.Dean didn’t make too many errors but when he did and we questioned him, he personality was to come right back.Actor Banita Sandhu, who plays the female lead in the Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, has said that she is concerned about unfavourable criticism that the film could get, especially regarding its treatment of her character.�?Nike said it would stop selling its kicks and apparel directly on Amazon’s Web platform, ending what was called a pilot program when it launched in 2017.

This Is Why You Should Never Do Burpees, According To A Celebrity Trainer
Your body (and mind) will thank you for it. - by Matt Evans
Celebrity trainer Patrick Murphy is the man that carved Zac Efron's body into its inhuman, marble-like shape for the movie Baywatch. In the blockbuster film, Efron swings across obstacle courses, dives into the open ocean and chases after bad guys with natural athleticism – all a product of Murphy's switched-up training scheme.
Exhibit A.
Baywatch movie
RELATED: 13 Exercises That Are Better Than Burpees For Weight Loss
"I used almost every means of physical resistance possible," says Murphy. "His programme just changed so much, from bodyweight to free weights to stabilisation training into strength."
However, despite all the different exercises Murphy threw at Efron, one in particular never made the list. "There’s proper exercises that establish a mechanical advantage, and there are exercises that are awful for you," Murphy told us. "There’s an easy one everyone’s doing in the gym, and it’s called burpees."
This classic military staple is used the world over, but Murphy argues that burpees weren't meant to be used this way. "Burpees aren’t good for the human body. You know what burpees are good for? They originated in the military as a way of dodging bullets. They’re good for relocation."
"But if you think about the movement, the burpee is a power-move into a seated position. So you’re face-down, you’re jumping your knees up, you’re tightening everything around you."
While burpees do the job and burn fat fast, Murphy argues the tradeoff isn't worth it. "Imagine you’re doing burpees and then going to your sit-down job in an office all day. It’s not good for the wrist, the spine is not in the proper position [while you do the exercise]."
"It’s very hard to perform them correctly, and everyone’s doing timed sets. 'Get more, you’ve got five seconds!'" he yells, aping misguided PTs who think they're channelling Full Metal Jacket. "It’s just a disaster for the body."
Convinced? If you're worried about your spine, it's better to play it safe and use one of our metabolism-boosting free weight workouts as your next fat burner. After all, the absence of burpees is good enough for Zac Efron, we're sure our training plans won't miss them.

5 Period Symptoms That Warrant a Visit to Your Ob-Gyn
Here's when to call the doc.
By Cassie Shortsleeve
Keel-over-in-your-tracks-cramps and a steady diet of Midol can be enough to leave a girl wondering: Is this monthly agony actually normal?! Sometimes, a little bloat and tummy trouble is par for the course. But other times, your period symptoms could point to something more serious. Here are five times your cycle may warrant a visit to the doctor’s office.

Needing super tampons on a heavy day is one thing—but regularly changing your tampon every hour on the hour is another, says Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a board-certified ob-gyn and a clinical professor at Yale University School of Medicine. If you’re swapping out feminine products every 60 minutes for more than a day, check in with your ob-gyn, she says. The concern isn't necessarily uterine abnormalities (although fibroids and polyps could certainly be at play). The bigger issue is the blood loss, says Minkin. It’s an issue you’ll want to take seriously, as too much can result in fatigue, dizziness, and even fainting. To get to the bottom of things, your doc might do a complete blood count (CBC) test to see if you need more iron in your diet, for example, says Minkin.

Another sign you need to call your ob-gyn, stat: “severe pain—and not like ‘take two Advil and be fine,’” says Minkin. The most common cause of menstrual cramps is the chemical prostaglandin, she says—and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil work by blocking the production of more. So if these meds aren’t cutting the pain, you might be dealing with something like endometriosis, says Minkin. That can be pretty darn uncomfortable and may require treatment such as going on the Pill or a stronger medication or even surgery, she notes.
Does that time of the month bring with it a fever, too? Best to play it safe and call your doc, says Minkin. Fortunately, the problem likely isn’t toxic shock syndrome, the super rare bacterial infection that’s been linked to leaving a tampon in too long. However, it could be pelvic inflammatory disease, which can flare with a period, says Minkin. “It is associated with a low grade fever and significant pelvic pain,” says Minkin. If this is the case, you’ll need a course of antibiotics.

While it’s common to have breakthrough bleeding from birth control pills, if you’re not on the Pill and keep spotting, tell your ob-gyn, says Minkin. Possible culprits include a polyp in the lining of the uterus or overgrowth of the lining of the uterus. Bleeding after sex can be worrisome, too. This could point to abnormalities such as dysplasia—abnormal cells on the cervix that can progress to cervical cancer if not treated, says Minkin.
Sure, a period on vacation can signal a baby on the way or some seriously stressful times, but if you’re consistently skipping cycles, it’s time for a hormonal check, says Minkin. Look out for side symptoms like milk leaking from your breasts (a sign of too much of the hormone prolactin being released from your pituitary gland) or changes in hair growth (which can be linked to polycystic ovarian syndrome), too, she says.

Tracy Chapman has just come out with her first album in four years- "Telling Stories." It will be her fifth record. The previous four, the first one of which came out in 1988, sold over 13 million copies. Actually, about half a million copies of her first album, "Tracy Chapman," released at first on vinyl by the record company "Amiga," were sold in Russia by "Melodia." Chapman has already won four Grammy Awards, including one in 1996 for best rock song of the year, "Give Me One Reason," from her second to last album, "New Beginning."
Tracy worked on the new album in collaboration with her old producer David Kerschenbaum, famous for his work on the albums of Tori Amos. The music of "Telling Stories" is a good example of what Tracy has been famous for- creative pop-rock "for adults," with beautiful melodies and intelligent lyrics. The incomparable vocal style of the singer has not undergone any changes. Most of the songs are based on a contrasting, melodic guitar sound, accompanied by the nostalgic atmosphere reminding the listener of Reagan-era America: racial problems, dead-end lifestyles in the suburbs and black ghettoes, domestic violence, and also honest American beauty and happiness.
Chapman will spend almost all of 2000 on tour for the release of her album, and her concerts will include all of her musical ensemble. The producers of Elektra Records promise that the album and performances of Tracy Chapman will be some of the brightest musical events of the year.

Betches Takeover: #TimelessTuesday
We’ve been Betches for a really, really, really, ridiculously long time, like practically since birth, so it shouldn’t surprise you that back in 2011 we posted this nugget of wisdom that still rings true today. Sure, Britney and K-Fed are so two thousand and late, and Limitless is probably a movie you’ve never heard of at this point, but other than the outdated cultural references, this sh*t is timeless. Pros are still the main object of our affection and the ones we teach you how to manipulate find love with in our new book, I HAD A NICE TIME AND OTHER LIES…, so it seemed appropriate to throw it back to when we first explained to nicegirls everywhere what a Pro is.
62. Pros
The relationship between a betch and a bro is quite complicated. We’re not talking about the actual romantic relationship. No, the complex part lies in how betches feel about the “Bro.” It should be said that as a betch matures, she begins to realize the waning appeal of the smack-a-beer-on-his-forehead frat-trastic bro.
Now betches, we don’t want to confuse you and feed you contradictory statements (or anything for that matter). Betches love douchebags, the SABs, and the games they play. But when we grow older, we start to look for a guy who’s a more mature version of the bro species, a guy who has “being nice” in his repertoire of capabilities but isn’t a #33 nice guy. A non-douchey douche. With that we introduce you to the Pro.
The Pro is the bro morphed into an older, more determined bro. His best qualities were always people skills, creativity, and networking, but he no longer uses them to schmooze a new drug dealer or design an environmentally-friendly homemade bong. Now they are granted positions in the business and frat-banking world by friends of their dads and/or delusional people in HR who actually believe that these bros don’t do drugs. Ha fucking ha.
Side note: Betches know little about business and the professional world (aside from the meaning and benefits of quid pro quo) and we’re def not trying to get involved in that shit, but we’re definitely intrigued by what these “Pros” do all day. They think their job is the hardest fucking thing in the world but from what we understand, it basically involves making spreadsheets (i.e. lists), getting paid to attend happy hours, wearing pretentious Hermes ties, and pretending to know big words like “derivatives” aka living up their managing director’s ass. Really fucking hard.
Don’t get us wrong, the Pro still parties and remains hot. Like we said, betches love Pros. There is nothing we’d rather hear on a #14 date than a Pro complaining about career bullshit, like how he has to wake up at 5 am or how amazing he is for securing a coveted slot on his boss’ lunch schedule. As he says this, a betch’s mind wanders directly to sex $$$.
Pros are ideal for twenty-something betches because they still maintain their aura of being a dickhead but without actually being one. Just as how in college we were never really friends with bros, and sometimes fucked them, the same applies to post-grad life in major cities with Pros. They get tables at clubs, are VIPs (in more ways than one), and can skillfully cut a line.
From now on betches, when allowing guys to flirt with you, look out for the Pros. They’re the ones who are hot like Roberto from Bachelorette and are motivated like Bradley Cooper in Limitless after he takes his Adderall NZT. Don’t let yourself be 25 still dating a bro. Remember, guys are five years behind betches in maturity, so a 22-year-old girl dating a 22-year-old bro would be considered borderline pedophilia. Pros over bros, betches. Just ask Britney Spears how much fun it is to get knocked up by an unemployed, backup-dancing fucking loser bro.
Want more hilarious sh*t from your favorite betches? Read our book, I HAD A NICE TIME AND OTHER LIES… available now in hardcover and e-book.

Long-Term Finance and BNDES Tapering in Brazil
By Otaviano Canuto and Matheus Cavallari on June 8, 2017
One major policy issue in Brazil is how to boost productivity, while following a path of fiscal consolidation that will take at least a decade to bring the public-debt-to-GDP ratio back to 2000 levels (Canuto, 2016a). The productivity-boosting agenda includes not only the implementation of a full range of structural reforms, but also recovering and upgrading the national infrastructure and other long-term investments. Given that fiscal consolidation has already been leading to less transfer of funds—in fact, the reversal—from the Treasury to the National Economic and Social Development Bank (BNDES) and a consequent downsizing of the latter’s operations, pursuing the double objective of raising productivity and adjusting fiscal accounts will require an expansion of alternative sources of long-term asset finance.
As we illustrate here, developing alternatives of long-term funding will be equivalent to building a new private-to-private financial structure. While the public sector-funded BNDES has been the main source of long-term finance to the private sector, the asset management industry currently holds public-sector bonds as more than 70% of its portfolio. Switching to a private-to-private financial structure will therefore be a necessary component of the productivity-boosting-cum-fiscal-adjustment policy course.
A three-pronged policy agenda is hereby suggested. First, real interest rates need to decline, while over time public debt must shrink as the major absorber of private financial savings. Second, structural reforms aimed at reducing risks that are idiosyncratic to Brazil’s long-term private investments must be implemented. Finally, the BNDES portfolio tapering may be accompanied by a reorientation from crowding-out to crowding-in the private sector in supplying long-term finance.
Fiscal consolidation and falling real interest rates
Government occupies a peculiar position in Brazil’s long-term finance. On one side, public debt is a major absorber of the private sector demand for long-term assets. The asset management industry has over 70% of assets allocated to government bonds, instead of providing funding to the private sector (Chart 1). Corporate bonds represent less than 3% of its assets under management, while equities only 8.5%. In this sense, government bonds absorb a vast share of domestic savings and financial wealth.
On the other side, BNDES and other public sector-funded banks constitute the main source of long-term private sector investment finance. Such prominence rose in the recent past, as the BNDES portfolio increased from R$ 242.5 billion to R$ 677.6 billion over 2007-15, having fallen since then to R$ 530.4 billion last March (at constant prices of December, 2016).
Chart 1 – Brazilian Asset Management Industry: Assets Under Management (Jan/2017)
Bloating the BNDES balance sheet was part of the aggressive expansionary fiscal policy pursued by the Brazilian government in 2009-2014 (Canuto, 2016b). After making a countercyclical fiscal move in response to the first round of spillovers from the global financial crisis, which included the use of BNDES to supply subsidized credit, among other fiscal and quasi-fiscal stimuli, the government kept the expansionary stance even as the economy started to show signs of overheating (Canuto, Cavallari and Reis, 2013a) (Canuto, Cavallari and Reis, 2013b). Structural factors were then already leading to low private investments and slower sustainable growth trends, while the government attempted a subsidy-led shortcut to a new growth path, the result of which was mainly fiscal deterioration (Canuto, 2016c). Falling tax revenues and rising public spending during the deep GDP downfall from mid-2014 onwards led to a deterioration of the public debt dynamics.
A first pre-condition for replacing the current pattern of long-term finance with rising private-to-private long-term finance flows will be a combination of lower absorption of private financial savings by the public debt and lower real interest rates paid by public bonds. Even with the constitutional amendment establishing a public spending cap in real terms approved by Congress last year, and assuming a range of levels for a few parameters, including potential GDP growth, debt-to-GDP ratios will start to decline only after several years ahead and not before topping around 90% (Chart 2) (Canuto, 2016a). In fact, Brazil’s fiscal deficit was 9.2% of GDP in the 12 months up to last March.
Chart 2 – Spending cap, public sector primary balances and debt dynamics
Return rates on private assets must compete with—and must offer a premium above—real interest rates paid by public bonds, which have been abnormally high in Brazil. Currently short-term real interest rates paid by the government debt have hovered around 5% a year.
One major reason behind Brazil’s high floors of domestic interest rates lies in the country’s risk premium being well above the average of other emerging markets, which is transmitted to domestic markets. The negative feedback loop between the fiscal trajectory and risk premium can only be closed through a sustained fiscal adjustment.
In addition to the risk premium, some factors have curtailed the effectiveness of monetary policy in the recent past, leading to a relation between inflation and interest rates with the latter at levels higher than would have been in the absence of those factors. For example, the effects of monetary policy were constrained by a sizable earmarked credit outstanding. These operations suffer near zero influence from policy interest rates. In other words, regulations based on a wide range of rationalities determine how the banking sector allocates a share of available resources with a distant connection to the monetary policy. While monetary policy had to fight high inflation through higher policy rates, credit supply from BNDES and other earmarked lines kept increasing. Indeed, data suggest that increasing BNDES lending-to-GDP ratio led policy real interest rates to be higher over 2004-14 than what would necessarily be otherwise (de Bolle, 2015).
That quasi-autonomous—and often uncoordinated—earmarked credit supply source had an important role in the Brazilian credit boom after the global crisis, while non-earmarked banking credit was relatively stable and policy rates kept high (Chart 3) (Canuto, 2017a). The government-driven credit expansion had nonetheless an insignificant effect on investment for publicly traded firms over 2004-12 (Bonomo et al, 2015). Moreover, a distortionary allocation resulted from such policy guidance, as it was mostly driven by rent-seeking behavior and adverse selection.
Chart 3 – Brazil: Outstanding Credit to Non-Financial Sector (% of GDP)
A second factor reducing monetary policy effectiveness has been a high inflation inertia constraining disinflation, as it has been highlighted in many occasions by the Brazilian Central Bank (for example, BCB, 2015). Propagation of inflation after price shocks became harder to contain as (backward looking) informal indexation was stronger than (forward looking) expectations affected by monetary policy.
Finally, fiscal and quasi-fiscal policies have been expansionary for the most part in recent years, taking an opposite direction to monetary policy during tightening periods. After the economic recovery from the global financial crisis, the government adopted successive rounds of economic stimuli, including sizable packages of tax exemptions, local-content policies and capital injections to public banks, among others (Canuto, 2016a)(Canuto, 2016b)(Canuto, 2016c). Central government primary expenditures rose to above 20% of GDP by the end of 2016—Chart 4—or to 34% of GDP when added with other government levels.
Recently announced fiscal reforms point to a change of path regarding the government crowding-out of the private sector. As noted, a constitutional cap has been approved to limit federal government expenditures in real terms, and ultimately to rebuild fiscal buffers. Per estimations from the Ministry of Finance, federal government primary expenditures will be reduced to around 16% of GDP over the next 10 years. Additional structural reforms and government expenditure reviews will be key to obeying this constitutional rule—particularly a pension reform (Canuto, 2017b).

Monetary policy has in turn become more effective as deterrents have wound down, as earmarked credit has shrunk and higher policy credibility has increased the weight of expectations relative to indexation and inertia. In addition, fiscal and monetary policies ceased to be at log heads. While inflation expectations have moved down toward the 4.5% target, a substantive monetary policy easing has been in place since last year.
Level playing field and lower wedges between public and private interest rates
On top of interest rates paid by public debt, private assets must offer a premium to become attractive to investors. Such wedges or spreads along the forward curve reflect credit and liquidity risks that are intrinsic to private assets relative to public ones. Developing a private-to-private asset structure will require a set of “horizontal microeconomic reforms” addressing those private-sector risks and improving the risk-return profile of Brazilian private assets.
Brazilian business environment pitfalls are well acknowledged as sources of resource waste and productivity loss, at both country- and firm-levels (Canuto, 2016a). Some of them affect negatively the risk-return profile from the standpoint of financial asset holders. This is the case, for example, of time and value losses derived from inefficient processes of resolution of contractual conflicts and insolvency situations.
Per the World Bank Doing Business 2017, while a bankruptcy resolution takes approximately 4 years in Brazil, an equivalent procedure consumes on average 2.9 years in Latin America and Caribbean and 1.7 year in OECD high-income countries. Brazil’s recovery rate in such process is 15.8 cents on the dollar, while it is 31 cents in Latin America and Caribbean and 73 cents in OECD high-income countries. The negative implications from this weakness are straight for long-term financing and for firm-level dynamics. Much benefit could be reaped from upgrading the domestic insolvency framework.
Policymakers may also contribute by developing well-designed financial instruments. Clear and transparent legal frameworks help reducing credit spreads, being especially relevant for long-term financial instruments. Excessive litigation could result from dubious legislation with a direct impact on underwriting volumes and prices, such as through legal disputes over bond seniority or collateral segregation. One example of how innovations may help in that regard can be found in the covered bond for real estate loans (Letra Imobiliaria Garantida, LIG) created in 2014. This framework provides a clear segregation of mortgage loans designated as collateral in the financial institution’s balance sheet, also offering a mandate for the fiduciary agent to act.
Fostering the adoption of higher standards of corporate governance would also level the playing field. The “Car Wash” corruption probe has shown how some influential players developed a sui generis access to politicians and policymakers and how many negative spillovers came from corruption, from unfair competition to criminal liabilities. Those illicit practices already imposed huge losses to minority shareholders and bond holders, who had trusted externally audited balance sheets and supervisory authorities, and were not aware of such behaviors. Unfortunately, this poor legacy may weigh negatively for some time on capital market development.
Notwithstanding that legacy, the currently critical conjuncture is a great opportunity to spread high governance standards to promote both “inclusive economic and political institutions”, as shown by previous experiences in history (Acemoglu and Robinson, 2012). Translating these historical insights to policy making and best governance remains a challenge that must consider a broader policy approach (World Bank, 2017b). On the other hand, the ongoing corruption probe has already sparked what has been called a revolution in transparency and compliance of Brazilian companies.
Another related step forward would be to incentivize firms to access capital markets, especially through equity markets. Not only because companies need long-term capital to grow, but also because investors demand better corporate governance practices to provide resources to original owners. Company-level data show that half of initial public offerings (IPO) into global markets after 2008 came from emerging economies – with a high share corresponding to Chinese firms (Chart 5). The majority of firms that accessed corporate bond markets had been listed, despite some concerns related to regulatory and compliance costs (OECD, 2015).

Such dynamics were much weaker in Brazil. While a fast-track program was created in 2014 to incentivize small and medium enterprises (SME) to access equity markets, the poor macroeconomic performance has been an important constraint to market access. That happened despite a close engagement with market participants maintained by the main Brazilian stock exchange (B3) in promoting higher governance standards. Keeping the promotion of formal corporate governance adherence should remain paramount in the policymakers’ agenda.
Other possible measures to foster long-term financing and financial intermediation are those that may reduce information asymmetry. A reform to the collateral registry framework has recently been implemented in Brazil. The new centralized system will make it harder to use the same collateral to multiple credit operations. In the old system, the collateral information was recorded in one registry, without being shared to other registries, making it very costly to double check every registry. Another reform should aim to improve the current credit bureau, where any client must still authorize each bank to use its information in the credit history database. Other legal issues relate to prevailing limits to the use of utility bills to strengthen credit score assessments.
Finally, policymakers could help to coordinate private mechanisms for risk mitigation by providing clear and stable regulatory frameworks. One interesting mitigation initiative in Brazil comes from the credit guarantee fund (Fundo Garantidor de Creditos, FGC). In such arrangement, the banking sector capitalized a fund to guarantee banking clients to recover deposits or credits from a bank up to a certain capital amount in case of official intervention or bankruptcy. It has helped banks to fund themselves at lower interest rates in the market, something especially important for small and medium banks. Other private guarantee mechanisms could be designed to mitigate risks focusing on long-term finance.
Unwinding earmarked credit and re-designing BNDES operations to prioritize private-sector mobilization
The worst economic recession that Brazil has witnessed in the last 100 years took its toll on credit markets, also impacted by a corrective deleveraging (Canuto, 2017a). Since end-2015, credit-to-GDP ratio dropped 5.1% age points to 48.6 last March. However, the earmarked credit remains at 50% of the overall credit outstanding. While earmarked credit costs on average one-fourth of market credit, the fiscal burden of such operations reached 1.5% of GDP or 3.7% of government revenues in 2015 (Pazarbasioglu et al, 2017). Those expenses came especially from BNDES’ footprint, which reached just over 70% of this modality in 2015, or close to one-third of overall domestic credit outstanding.
Promoting long-term financing is not limited to unwinding and refocusing BNDES operations. The other 30% of earmarked credit need to be dealt with to foster development of capital markets. Although less relevant in the overall economy, these operations are significant for sub-sectors and specific markets. If banks must lend in certain sectors by regulation, such as real estate or agriculture, they may countervail the development of new financial instruments, especially if interest rates are lower than those imposed by market conditions. In fact, these regulations interfere in the competition among private funding sources, such as the recently created LIG.
Firm-level data suggest that BNDES did not systematically bail out failing firms, nor did it affect performance or investment over 2002-09. On the other hand, between 1995 and 2002, there is some evidence of a positive impact from BNDES engagement on firms facing binding credit constraints (Lazzarini et al, 2011). Still, a common finding of these studies is that a lower cost of debt for recipients was the major effect, challenging the argument that the broad BNDES footprint had a major social impact.
National development banks (NDBs) boosted their lending in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, as a part of the toolkit of countercyclical policies in many countries. Brazil’s BNDES was not an exception to this conduct (Chart 6). During spikes of risk aversion, private sources of financing usually become more scarce, especially in the case of long term. By mitigating credit rationing and promoting socially desirable projects, longer-term investments may, even if partially, keep being implemented with well-known positive spillovers to the overall economic dynamism. The one-billion-dollar question is: can national development banks efficiently balance costs and benefits? What could they do to maximize value for money (Canuto, 2014) (Pazarbasioglu, 2017)?
Chart 6 – BNDES: annual disbursement by sector
Source: BNDES
During normal times, NDBs may add maximum value by focusing on well-defined core functions. Surely, business models of NDBs, private banks, pension funds and asset managers are very different—from mandates to funding structures, from asset allocations to performance frameworks. In this sense, a more diversified financial sector has its advantages, such as lowering systemic risks. This fact does not mean that they should compete as funding providers in all markets. On the contrary, they must be complementary to create diversification and to crowd-in private capital.
Fiscal space has eroded in most of emerging markets and developing economies after the global crisis, including in Brazil. In parallel, governments have questioned themselves on how to address big gaps in long-term financing, while new rounds of capitalization stay constrained for state-owned banks. Some principles for NDB operations have been agreed in international forums on crowding-in private sector financing, such as being economically feasible, fiscally and commercially sustainable, risk-reward balanced, transparent, cost effective, and compliant to social and environmental safeguards (G20, 2017). In the case of BNDES, how could it provide the best value for public money?
First, the focus on mobilizing private capital should become the main driver of BNDES. This new focus gains relevance as the bank’s portfolio is bounded to taper toward smaller sizes and less-subsidized credit lines. The financial additionality may come from broadening the pool of private investors for each deal, for example in syndications or other forms of co-financing. It may also come from offering a firm bid in terms of financing, increasing chances of raising money from other investors. If BNDES is to provide money only because it is a less costly funding to a certain investment, then private capital should be preferred.
Capital market development may benefit most from a true complementary approach, which could even establish tighter ceilings for BNDES participation on each project’s financing envelope. Currently, the maximum participation of BNDES credit in a single project or capital good is 80%. While BNDES management has already begun its process of tapering, BNDES funding ratio in infrastructure sector has already dropped from 73% to 62% along 2015 and 2016 (Exame, 2017).
Occasionally, policymakers refer to the lack of depth and breadth in capital markets to provide long-term financing as a reason for a strong footprint from NDBs. In the Brazilian case, this justification has less traction when one considers that the annual underwriting volume of corporate bonds and equities in domestic markets reached around R$ 110 billion on average over the last 5 years (measured in 2016 prices), despite the hostile macroeconomic environment and the highly-subsidized participation level that BNDES had in the previous two governments. In many occasions, cheaper-than-market funding was provided to generate less expensive services, such as lower road tolls or tariffs. Under BNDES’ recent tapering policy, corporate bond participation in infrastructure sector—in projects that BNDES co-financed—increased from 11% to 15% along 2015 and 2016 (Exame, 2017).
From the perspective of fostering long-term financing and financial intermediation, these broader reforms should aim to reduce systematic risks for all private investments. By leveling the playing field to all businesses and in all sectors, competition leads to a better allocation of resources. Some years ago, evidence had already suggested that politically-connected firms—which made campaign donations to winner candidates—were more able to receive BNDES support (Lazzarini et al, 2011). In other words, policymakers should further focus on creating an investment-friendly environment.
Brazil’s government recently took the decision of phasing out the old BNDES loan-pricing method, which was very discretionary, and adopted a new rule-based framework. In this new policy, real interest rates on loans will be linked to medium-term government bonds. Positive spillovers are expected in terms of capital market strengthening, as more predictability has been added regarding competition among funding providers.
Second, BNDES may further develop its capacity to provide design additionality. In other words, the development bank could improve the project bankability in the preparation phase. By having a vast experience in assessing projects for decades, BNDES may provide feedback to investors on how to adopt best practices, including about complex regulatory safeguards and high corporate governance adherence. The lack of ready-to-implement projects and a deficient project preparation have recurrently been mentioned as bottlenecks to investment in Brazil.
In 2008, the government created a company (Estruturadora Brasileira de Projetos, EBP) to develop projects in infrastructure and social sectors for concessions and public-private partnerships (PPP), in which BNDES is a shareholder along with other financial institutions. Ideally, a project depository should be made available for infrastructure and social sectors, to be possibly implemented through concessions or PPPs. A better synergy between private and public sectors, including with the leadership of BNDES, on design additionality would help to develop capital markets and lift investments.
Third, BNDES can further contribute to the evaluation of development impact of projects, especially for concessions and PPPs. Such evaluation additionality could inform policymakers and market participants in terms of prioritization, and private-sector awareness to the prospective investment pipeline. This advantage would be especially important for complex projects, where intricate engineering planning is required. Another benefit from such a contribution would be to increase accountability and transparency on BNDES’ activities, reducing chances of political interference and encouraging a best-value-for-money approach.
Fourth, BNDES has a value in providing a demonstration additionality. BNDES could help develop innovative solutions that could later be turned into plain vanilla operations. Projects at frontier areas may benefit most from a BNDES participation, as its breadth for running due-diligences is higher than any usual investor.
Finally, BNDES may further work on risk-mitigation initiatives, or risk-sharing, aiming to improve the private sector risk-return tradeoff for certain priority investments. Financial mitigations could rely on guarantee funds or mezzanine instruments, depending on the specificities of sectors or projects. In any case, there is a role to be fulfilled by crowding in private investors that are intrinsically more risk averse. Those investors may be constrained by their mandates, such as being able to invest only in investment grade bonds. In such situations, the only way to access these saving pools would be to provide some guarantee, which may allow at least to raise additional financing by segregating the bulk of risks to other more sophisticated risk-prone investors.
For example, as we noted, the asset management industry is dominated by government bonds, which reflects up to a certain point a low risk appetite by savers. By mitigating or transferring a share of the risks, a wider pool of investors could be tapped for infrastructure or project bonds, including those less risk-averse investors. This does not mean that other risk takers would not keep demanding high-risk and high-return opportunities. It is worth remembering that the infrastructure business usually has a high recovery value during its brownfield phase, which could still attract many moderate-risk savers without much additional mitigation mechanisms.
In a nutshell, lack of positive evidence from the BNDES bloated balance sheet suggests that a more focused approach is desirable, such as lending where long-term credit constraints are binding and positive spillovers are evident. Attenuating long-term credit constraints also calls for crowding-in the private sector. Ensuring positive spillovers would come from a deeper assessment of development impact to pick high-impact projects. Moreover, that would be a way to justify subsidies, even if they are – and will keep – falling. Fiscal adjustment will impose a tapering of the BNDES balance sheet and therefore creates an opportunity to maximize its value added for money.
Bottom-line
Pursuing the double objective of raising productivity and adjusting fiscal accounts in Brazil will demand building a private-to-private structure of long-term finance. The latter must in turn be supported by declining real interest rates and public-sector funding needs, microeconomic reforms, as well as a reorientation of BNDES operations toward crowding private investors into buying private assets.

Cooperation: Can We Reimagine and Recreate it for Energy for Everyone?
October 16, 2018 October 18, 2018 steveLeave a Comment on Cooperation: Can We Reimagine and Recreate it for Energy for Everyone?
I recently spent some time with Nathan Schneider in Boulder, Colorado. He’s a Media Studies professor at the University of Colorado Boulder and the author of a new book, Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition That is Shaping the Next Economy. I recommend it!
Let me connect some dots as to how the book relates to community-owned renewable energy, and then I’ll highlight some of the book’s key takeaways. The reason AIRE works in this renewable energy niche (as opposed to corporate, utility-scale solar for example) is that we believe in community self-reliance, local ownership, benefit and control. This set of values, where cooperation is central, makes way for what could be transitional paths to clean energy that allow for communities to build their own wealth and wellbeing instead of being reduced to essentially powerless “rate payers” contributing to the massive profits of large investor-owned utilities. This book calls out extractive economics by name, including shining light on the myth that some familiar so-called “sharing economy” bonafides are in reality extractive. Community-owned renewable energy is a way of keeping dollars in a local economy. Our work and experience tells us that it’s possible and necessary to rethink how we scale up solar and improve wellbeing. In reality this is easier said than done.
My copy. Read about the cutting edge of cooperatives in a very accessible and informative style.
This is where Everything for Everyone comes in. It offers a historical view of the likes of America’s rural electric cooperatives, and the often cited Mondragon in Spain or Emilia-Romagna in Italy. What I find most useful is Nathan’s descriptions of the cutting edge of cooperatives of all kinds, which are a departure from these earlier models, although he would argue that we should draw from that history as we create new forms. He’s done some in depth field research on the new ways of thinking about what it means to cooperate, to create and sustain cooperatives. The emerging culture of cooperatives, which sees the downside waste of bureaucracy, is captured in this line- “pioneering types of people…if they’re organizing co-ops, often treat the required board structures as a legal formality and govern themselves more like an open-source software project–whether they’re writing code or growing vegetables. They’re forgoing co-op language altogether…” (page 231). Radical in the title might be off putting to some, but in fact, the history of cooperatives, as the author chronicles, shouldn’t elicit the left/right, red/blue, liberal/conservative partisan kinds of first impression. In fact, he notes that both Bernie Sanders and Mike Pence support cooperatives of various types (page 232).
A decade ago, AIRE had the late, great Frank Adams as a wayfinder and mentor. Our aspiration then was to create a larger framework through which we could develop renewables– cooperatives and a federation linking them together and supporting them. We were unable to live up to Frank’s vision then, but maybe now’s the time.
Cooperation is so important now. Building solar in our communities would be better served and a byproduct would be improved connection, cohesion, hope and health; something much needed these days. Maybe it could be easy. Nathan talks about starting the Colorado Co-ops Study Circle, which he said began with he and one friend, but before long 40 people were coming to meetings. Now as a result, there are quite a few cooperatives on the Front Range (Boulder-Denver area) including some in solar power. Ultimately, Everything for Everyone suggests that democracy is possible if we truly want to practice it, which, for me includes the possibility of democratic energy.

Barcelona finally sacks Valverde names Setien as new coach
At last Barcelona has announced the sacking of coach Erneto Valverde, while appointing Quique Setien as replcement on Monday, just days after being eliminated in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals, once again blowing a late lead. Setien, who formerly coach Real Betis and Las Palmas, is under contract with Barcelona until the end of the 2021-22 season.
SETIEN, THE NEW BARCELONA COACH
Valverde, 55, was in the midst of his third season at the club and leaves with two La Liga titles and a Copa del Rey crown to his name. He was unable to win a Champions League title, which was always a perennial objective for a big spending club the likes of Barcelona. His team hasn’t been able to show consistency in the Champions League due to defense woes, and those problems were again evident on Thursday when Barcelona conceded two late goals to lose to Atletico Madrid, 3-2 in Saudi Arabia.
It felt like last season would have been the final straw when Barca blew a 3-0 lead in the Champions League semifinals to eventual champion Liverpool and fell short to Valencia in the Copa del Rey final. The team is still in first place in La Liga and in the last 16 of the Champions League where Napoli awaits on Feb. 25 and March 18.
As for Valverde’s replacement seems to be a surprise to say the least. The 61-year-old Setien has never coached at a big club and hasn’t had much success as of late. He’s never won a trophy as a manager and lasted two years at Real Betis (2017-19) with a 40-21-33 record. He did a fine job at Las Palmas (2015-17) and has also managed Lugo, Logrones, Poli Ejido, Racing Santander and Equatorial Guinea.

মূলশব্দ: ওয়ান্স আপন্ অ্যা টাইম, season 3, spoilers

I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Matt’s Inside Line: Scoop on Nashville, Bones, The Mentalist, Once, Five-0, NCIS, Hart of Dixie and আরো | TVLine
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
fave Danny’s romantic rescue? Read on for answers to those questions plus teases from other shows.
Memories from the Set: Morena Baccarin Reflects on
Not only can I confirm that Owain Yeoman and Amanda Righetti will be returning during this final, 13-episode season as Rigsby and Van Pelt, but I can with precision accuracy nail down for you
— during the two-hour series finale, airing Wednesday, Feb. 18.
, Marko! (That’s my way of dodging the question to instead tell you about the role being cast for Episode 15. The ABC series is seeking an African-American actress to guest-star as “Miranda,” a 19- to 22-year-old princess. Described as ” warmhearted and passionate,” this lass wants nothing more than to bring peace and beauty into the world. Yet beneath her gentle exterior, she is headstrong and full of grit – so if you cross her, you may find her more terrifying than even the most powerful kings. Did I mention she has a lovely singing voice, as well?)
plan on handling Hayden Panettiere’s real-life maternity leave? Did they find a way to incorporate her into every episode ahead of time, or will there be episodes where Juliette Barnes will not be seen? –Sharon
“We did bank some material for a few episodes,” showrunner Dee Johnson confirms for TVLine. “She may be out of one or two. It all depends on how quickly [Hayden] wants to come charging back to work.”

‘ Tony going to be in a stable relationship this season? –sshenoy
You mean with, perhaps, ATF Agent Zoe Keates? I can confirm that Marisol Nichols has been booked for an early 2015 encore, while Emily Wickersham recently acknowledged to me that Tony and Zoe had “really great chemistry.” She added, “Tony’s love life definitely unfolds. I can say that.”
on hiatus at the moment? If so, when do they recommence? –Sharon
all have Christmas episodes to put under your tree (or menorah, where applicable) this coming week.
they go on break, returning the week of Jan. 4, 2015.
Poor Detective Sergeant Williams. Love never comes easy for him, especially when an upcoming romantic getaway goes awry, and Steve needs to ride to his brah’s rescue.
RELATEDRatings: Supernatural Winter Finale Delivers a Season High
fans need some scoop on Dean, please! —Luann
Witchy Rowena didn’t come into contact with the hunter in the fall finale, but that could soon change given her son Crowley’s connection to Dean. “I think most mothers like to interfere in their children’s business,” her portrayer Ruth Connell says. “So Rowena gets to do that in the episodes to come.”
Cam and Arastoo’s relationship is hitting a long distance snag. “[They] have a little adventure going on,” Tamara Taylor previews. “Arastoo is going to go back to Iran to take care of his ailing brother. That’s going to be a little intense and dramatic. I think more than anything, she’s just nervous that he’s not going to be able to come back.”
’ Booth has been through a hella lot — jail, FBI betrayal, Sweets’ death, PTSD, and IMO it’s all got dealt with too neatly and quickly. Will there be more fallout from this at a later date? —Mark
be more hard times ahead. “I don’t know if the season will end on a very happy note,” David Boreanaz muses. “We’ll see.” Meanwhile, creator Hart Hanson hints that a major twist could be on its way (and possibly the cause of that unhappy conclusion?). “If we have to go to an 11th season, then, in my opinion, that means we have to reinvigorate the series and make some big changes,” he says.
RELATEDBones Boss: Emily Deschanel’s Pregnancy Will Be Written into Show
scoops to share with us? This show really rocks with such an awesome cast. –Marla
EP Nick Wootton surveyed for us the growing Walter/Paige “connection,” saying: “Walter has his questionable emotional quotient, and Paige has been burned before and doesn’t want to proceed without her son’s best interests at heart.” As such, the show will take “a real touch-and-go approach” to that twosome and end Season 1 “with a big cliffhanger.”
You may already know that in the Dec. 15 season opener, Zoe goes after Wade, Lemon returns early from her cruise and there’s a surprise visitor for Brick. But beyond that, Mircea Monroe’s Tansy is coming back, in Episode 6! But with that comes some bad news for certain ‘shippers. “I don’t feel like there’s still a hope for Tansy and George,” creator Leila Gerstein reveals. “She’s back in a completely platonic capacity, but for a really important storyline. She’ll also get her own version of happiness this year.”
. When can we expect him to suit up as The Atom /A.T.O.M.? –Cassie
Hurry and read this, the episode’s almost on! “You will get a proper look at the A.T.O.M. exosuit in Episode 9″ aka tonight’s winter finale, says EP Marc Guggenheim. “I say ‘proper’ to distinguish from the ‘look’ that leaked on the Internet this week. Some international promo included a shot of what purported to be the A.T.O.M. suit but in fact was not at all the A.T.O.M. suit.”

Thank you for the H50 scoop, Matt! And for all your great coverage of the show. This episode sounds great! It’s always fun when Steve has to rescue Danny.
Excited for Hart of Dixie to be back. I may be in the minority, but I kind of want Lemon and George to end up together. I never liked Lemon and Lavon.
Same here. Really hope CW sees the light to give it a 5th season!! Hopefully the actors want to continue. Just a fun show to watch
I hope that CW will renewal Hart of Dixie for the fifth season.
OUAT: sounds like Miranda is code for Tiana
I thought the name was wrong. When I read the description I was thinking of that movie but couldn’t remember the princesses right name.
They always use codenames for casting calls. Aurora was “Anastasia”, Mulan was “Magnolia” (which is what “Mulan” means).
I’m sorry but I don’t want to see Tony with a Ziva clone. Are they doing the Ziva clone to anger fans more by throwing this in our faces? I mean please even naming her Zoe.
@Jeanie (screaming) ZOE IS NOT A ZIVA CLONE! And to answer your second question i’m glad they are because people like YOU still can’t live in reality! So my suggestion? start doing it! Don’t like the direction they’re going then simply don’t watch! One more thing why are you here on a article about NCIS if you hate the direction they’re going?
Zoe is not a clone of Ziva. Not even close. Unless all women who are in law enforcement are clones of one another. I liked her a lot in her first appearance. Hopefully they can give Tony a steady romance like McGee has with Delilah. It would be nice to see.
I’m sorry that’s how you feel, Jeanie, but I don’t think any show sets out to deliberately anger its fans. Why would they? What they can’t do is write the show for one group of fans (and I know of no show that’s pleased ALL of the fans ALL of the time). I, for one, am happy that the show is not written by a committee of fans (what a disaster that would be!), even though I would write some things differently.
I wish that Tony/Ziva become a couple again. She make him grow-up.
I like Marisol, but Zoe is a lame Ziva clone. Former partner, material arts, brunette with cheekbones, Ziva’s wardrobe, and a name that starts with Z. Really?
@BlueBelle (sigh) Zoe is NOT A ZIVA CLONE! Have you even watched her appearance?! My guess is apparently NOT! Start living in reality because apparently since i took a long break from this site you still live in the delusional zone.
Maybe you still live in the delusional zone. This woman IS a Ziva clone. But then again, anyone who is not Ziva/Cote is okay in your book. For a long time I have seen discussions about the character and the actress and it all comes down to one thing; the fact that she is foreign is what has/had you and most of the Ziva/Cote haters’ panties in a twist. Fact is that Ziva is the character that Tony had the most chemistry with and since the show is lacking some pazazz, they are trying to recreate that in some way. They introduce a woman (or women actually) that have a similar appearance and personality to Ziva. This is also to show us that it is the kind of woman Tony falls for, his type (therefore again acknowledging the romantic connection between Tony and Ziva).
However, in the end none of the them is Ziva, the one in my book he needs and needs to be with. Michael and Cote had a unique chemistry, something that you can’t write, it just “is”. While Zoë is a nice character, and someone who has a click, she still isn’t the person Tony needs.
In what way is Zoe a Ziva clone. The fact that she’s a badass federal agent makes her a Ziva clone? In that way, half the female agents on tv are Ziva clones. You are just delusional.
Michael Weatherly has “chemistry” with almost anyone he shares screen time with. That’s why even the most mundanely written scenes generally pop. C de Pablo was on the show for a long time and I understand that her fans miss her, but she was hardly the only character that Tony has had chemistry with. She was just on the longest. I for one don’t miss the character as the show had come to focus too much on her tragedies and over did her skills. The writing of Ziva dumbed the show down IMO. I don’t think that either of the two ladies who they’ve presented as possible love interests were “Ziva clones” anymore than Ellie Bishop is. I feel quite certain that no matter who they find as a romantic interest for Tony, the same folks who have been whining for over a year about de Pablo’s decision to leave will throw the usual tantrums and make the usual critical comments. Hopefully, Glasburg and co will simply ignore them and allow Tony to move on.
To hear some fans tell it, poor Michael Weatherly is unable to act unless Cote is in the scene with him. I guess his life as an actor is over now. NOT! You’re right, Erin. MW has chemistry with just about everyone. I thought the Tony/Paula relationship was exceptionally wonderful. I really liked Tony with Tara Kole (‘Knockout’).
As for the “clone” thing, it seems with a certain group of fans it’s wrong to be nothing like Ziva, and it’s wrong to be everything like Ziva, and it’s wrong to be anything in between. And since there is no Goldilocks solution for these fans, NCIS just needs to move on and deliver entertaining television for the rest of us. While fans can stay stuck if they want to, television shows don’t have that luxury (actors do leave, etc.) nor should they want to,
So Tony will be in a stable relationship with Zoe? That should be interesting as Zoe’s just a Ziva clone pretty much and really doesn’t have any chemistry with Tony.
Wow, fascinating–that three comments, using the same wording, in the exact same way follow each other within 5 minutes. Really? Wonder what the odds are on that………Are you, BlueBelle and Jeanie in a club?
People have been calling her a Ziva clone since she was cast.
Nah, they’re the same person with maaaaaaany nicknames, so she can agree with herself and make her part of the fandom look much bigger than it is in reality LOL
@Annette (sigh) How many times must i say this?! (screaming) ZOE IS NOT A ZIVA CLONE! The only reason you’re saying Tony doesn’t have chemistry with Zoe is because you haven’t even give her a chance! Start living in reality because apparently since i took a break from this site people like YOU still live in the delusional zone. Get out of there now!
Perhaps you should stop yelling at people for having an opinion that you don’ t like. Personally I watch this show for Gibbs, Abby, and Ducky. I had not thought of Zoe as a clone until now. Makes sense.
Uhhh, no, it does not–so every female with dark hair is now a “Ziva clone”? What other things make “sense” in your fantasy world? Pleas share with the class….
I love having it confirmed that Rigsby( Owain) and Grace(Amanda) are coming back for the final 2 hour show. When I saw spoilers that it was going to be about a serial killer I thought those two should be part of it. Just as they always were for Red John. Looking forward to seeing it but sure am going to miss having The Mentalist every week. A great show.
Matt. Don’t even think about something like that. lol. Enjoy reading your colums and getting info on The Mentalist. :)
Matt had an Intresting thought. Though who the serial killer will be was already said in spoliers.
Come one, Matt! Give me some Justified scoop! :)
please again gary doesnt know what to do and putting to ziva clone as tony’s girlfriend, this man who never wanted TIVA , now he is all over abt tony’s love life… also tony is a man and he has needs… but at the end ziva will come back to tony talking abt great chemistry PLEASE gary should hear, the chemistry can never be copied … the greatest chemistry what TONY AND ZIVA HAD, HAS AND WILL HAVE , IT NEVER COULD BE COPIED … as GREATEST, SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL CHEMISTRY WHAT MICHAEL AND COTE HAS
Well, if that’s the case, it is indeed a pity Cote didn’t feel that way, seeing how she quit and all. Have you ever really given any consideration to the fact that SHE might not want to come back? She wanted to go and do others things–she quit to do so–yet, I find it amazing how people who claim to be fans will not respect the poor women’s wishes. Perhaps, you should take the time to write her, and ask what SHE WANTS, instead of continually harping about what you want.
That’s because some immature fan girls don’t realize that poor Cote exists. They think Ziva is the real person.
@estefania (getting angry) I swear you people are like broken records and are also never grateful all the work that the show’s crew has done for the last 12 years! Gary can do whatever the heck he wants i mean he’s the showrunner, isn’t he? How many times that it must be reminded that TIVA NEVER HAPPENED?! Gary is not going to hear you because why should he listen to a Ziva nuttie like you?! Another thing (screaming) WHAT PART OF COTE LEAVING ON HER OWN DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?! How long are you keep this up, huh?! Until she comes back?! Guess what it’s not gonna happen so get over it now (In Father from Codename Kids Next Door screaming voice) OR ELSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Tony +Keats = Teats, what were they thinking??
Well, it’s spelt “Keates”, and, just what are you thinking since you are the one that brought it up?
Probably weren’t thinking anything about it one way or the other. Not everyone does the whole “name smushing” thing for couples, after all-some find it pointless and silly.
Or they could use Michael’s: Zony this time around. :-)
PS: Name mash-ups remind me of little girls drawing their name in a heart along with their crush of the week when they’re in Junior High School. Mary LOVES Johnny. Please take my “Zony” with the eyeroll that came with typing it.
Thank you for your Tony/Zoe information, Matt. I liked her from the moment she called him “Spider”. I hope we get to find out how/why he got that moniker. They seemed to be friends once upon a time so seeing them build on that would be nice. Like Fornell, seeing Zoe on occasion would work since she a federal agent too.
I liked Zoe Keates too. I would love to see Tony get to have an adult romantic relationship. They wrote “tiva” like two horny teenagers too awkward to try and do anything but one up each other. The constant emphasis on super/tragic Ziva in that pairing sucked all the life out of Tony, who was a far more subtle and interesting character before the writers forgot he was a great agent I also wish they’d give Tony a danger filled story arc. I’m sick of seeing super Gibbs get all the action. Zoe Keates? Bring it on!!!
Emily talking about chemistry is a joke. This lady has no chemistry with anyone.
I understand that you can’t stand EW because she is on the show while CdP quit and showed no care for her former colleagues (it must hurts for people who worship her), but Emily Wickersham’s a very talented actress who had chemistry with the entire cast since her first scene. Her character’s intercation with the other protagonists of the show has more chemistry than Ziva had ever had in 8 seasons.
Thanks Matt for this spoiler about Tony’s love life. Personally, I’d love to hear more spoiler about MW’s character that have nothing to do with his private life. Something like his job, action, undercover ops…, but knowing that DiNozzo will finally meet a real woman (not a ridiculous cruel cartoon) who will make him happy (*fingers crossed*), makes me really happy especially because I really like Marisol Nichols, her great chemistry with MW and the fact that Zoe’s NOT a Ziva-clone though she’s a federal agent.
Next time you talk to NCIS tptb, could you let them know that we’d love to see Tony in action, maybe on undercover mission with Gibbs or McGee, where DiNozzo’s the hero who saves the day? Thank you so much :-)
Thanks for the Tony scoop Matt. I’m so looking forward to Tony having a fun, healthy relationship; someone who will treat him with respect. I hope Zoe is the one since I think they are great together. It’s time for Tony to Move On!
Yes, it is time for Tony to move on. He and Zoe do have a good chemistry together. They seem more like equals. I think they could have fun developing this relationship.
I agree, Sherri. Tony and Zoe have good chemistry together. I love their vibe. It has more of a easy comradery about it like the kind you see between police force partners. And sharing all that’s happened to each of them in the years they haven’t seen each other is a perfect way for the friendship to be rekindled and grow into something more.
What about a remake of Bad Day At Black rock? Mark Harmon would make the part of Spencer Tracy.
Last one, I promise. Next time could we get some Tony info that doesn’t involve his love life?
Totally agree with that Joni. Problem is they only seem to feature Tony when it is a story about his love life. Gibbs, McGee, and Bishop seem to get all the really dramatic writing and all the interesting case action.
I’m hoping it’s not Hook that dies but I don’t think it can be him because Belle and Emma are supposed to help him get his heart back from Rumple according to spoilers we’ve read here.
I hope Hook doesn’t die either after seeing a preview of what’s on for the winter finale of OUAT next week. It looked like Hook was in pain. I hope he wasn’t getting his heart crushed. I like him way too much!!
Having another Emma love interest die would be a bit much. And I don’t really see his death serving the story in an interesting way. Do we know that someone will die? Had there been a spoiler about that I missed or forgot about?
Sorry I got my spoiler sources mixed up. Jennifer Morrison said it in an ET interview that Emma would help him get his heart back though she wasn’t sure when or how.
Well its about time hope Tony and Keates make a happy couple. Would love for it to be mostly off screen, just talked about every now and again and seen occasionally. Would love to see Tony really in love like he was with Jeanne. Thanks for the info
Keke Palmer for the win! OUAT Tiana oops I mean “Miranda”;-).
In regards to Bones: Seriously, this show needs to do more with characters on the team. I know yeah apparently everyone watches for Booth and Brennan. I get that. In regards to the other female members of the cast and Hodgins we get rarely anything. When was the last time Cam had a storyline that didnt revolve around Arastoo?.. when was the last time Angela was out in the field?
While I agree that Cam could use something more than dealing with Arastoo issues. But still given the comparison to Castle. We get a lot with the other members of the team. Heck we know about everyone than we do Ryan and Esposito or these days Martha and Alexis. Hodgins got a big episode last year with his newly found brother. They are more involved in the show. So while some of the storylines could be better. It’s still a lot, and the season isn’t over yet.
Wait, whut, every season ending since telling Booth she was pregnant has had an unhappy ending and if they HAVE to go to a season 11…if they dont want to, just end it, what’s the big problem. IA, how about a Cam plot NOT involved with Arastoo and are Hodgela still on the show? Do they have a life outside the lab, I would not know by the writing.
It’s called drama! A cliffhanger. Almost mandatory for shows these days… I don’t think it will be necessarily a bad cliffhanger. If Brennan is still pregnant. And if they have to reduce the episode count…. It’s going to be a action cliffhanger than a ordinary day episode… Just something that will change things a tad. And Hart only has limited involvement with the show these days, so we shall what happens at the end of the season. We are only in December. They still have to confirm a new season. If they didn’t want to continue, they wouldn’t. Given new contracts have to be signed. I think there is plenty more to say.
Hart was the one who said HAD to go on, that doesnt sound very promising when the creator, even with limited involvement, words a renewal that way. I dont think anyone is forcing them to continue.
I took the wording as funny. And not to take it literal. The fact his little show that barely made it out of the first few seasons and is very likely could be continuing. Lets remember a year ago they were saying this was likely the final season so they probably entered with some scenario’s to wind down the show. And now it’s continuing if all the signatures get signed. It’s pretty unbelievable that this is about to be one of the longest shows for FOX or it’s production company. I think this season has had it’s challenges with having to write out Sweets, and then Emily’s pregnancy. Another baby wasn’t probably in the plans unless it was a series finale reveal. So a lot has to be juggled. Unless Backstrom fails, Hart is working on another show.
It would be great to have Rigsby & Van Pelt together for one last appearance on The Mentalist.
Great news for you, then: They will be! http://tvline.com/2014/12/10/nashville-season-3-spoilers-hayden-panettiere-maternity-leave/
BTW, about that scoop on Hawaii Five-O. How come we haven’t heard anything about Dane Cook coming back as Danny’s brother?
Dane Cook’s character, Matt, was killed in this seasons’ fourth episode, though Cook didn’t actually appear in the episode.
I look forward to seeing what happens with the Tony and Zoe relationship on NCiS. While I was a huge fan of TIva I realise that with one half of that gone and apparently no intention of returning, then the other character has to move on or just become stale. I liked Zoe,a nd just because she wore a black singlet in one scene and her name starts with a Z does not make her a clone. I hope her character developes, and most importantly, I hope Tony is treated with respect and not slapped down as they tend to do with him.
@Donna2712 Thank you! That my friend is the definition of a real NCIS fan. These so called fans need to start accepting the fact that Ziva is gone and most likely not coming back, deal with it and stop calling Zoe a clone because she is not! I agree with everything else you said.
Marisol should belong to Callen & “NCIS: LA” *only as far as shows with those 4 initials go).
As if Emily Wickersham knew what chemistry is! She is the worst actress on TV these days!
And TEATS? What a cheap show NCIS has become!
NCIS should have created a character like Kate instead of this silly Bishop school girl character!
And this cheap Tony romance is as useless as all the “exciting” ideas of the producers in the last year!
NCIS has become a soap, no action, no fun but romances and bad actresses!
Maybe this is the time when Steve and Danny will understand that they should have romantic getaways only with each other!
As to NCIS, the only spoilers I want to hear is the exit of Emily Wickersham.
And thank you for reminding me why I don’t watch NCIS anymore.
Yes, stopped watching a while back myself, makes me laugh to see all this “she’s a Ziva clone!” – “No she isn’t!” nonsense.
Rigsby and Van Pelt’s return for the series finale, is sure going to get Jisbon fans starting to think that Jane and Lisbon are going to get married.
Why do I have the feeling on Scorpion the “Big cliffhanger” for ending season one is going to be Pagie’s ex asking her to marry him?
I want George with Zoe!!! Unfortunately the writers caved to fan pressure and Made Wade Zoe’s soulmate after beating that storyline to death with George and Zoe?! I guess if Zoe and George aren’t ever going to happen than Wade is the next best thing and I like Lemon but I don’t see Lemon wanting him after he left her at the alter am I the only one that thinks this is out of character for a strong southern belle like Lemon maybe not since George was her first love and most likely her soul mate and I cant wait
This season is fuc**ng good and more now with evil Dean and the Mark of Cain back.😋😋

The Chamber Still Is Reborn
Now that you know all about rectification, a mid-to-late 19th century phenomenon, let's go a little earlier in the century. As Chris Middleton pointed out in his comment, there were multiple transitional technologies along the way to the continuous still as we know it today in bourbon-making. Although the earliest form of still, the alembic, is still in wide use these transitional designs mostly died out as the modern continuous still emerged.
A conversation here about one of the most important transitional forms started a year and a half ago with a post about how Leopold Brothers Distillery in Colorado was trying to recreate the distinctive Maryland ryes of legend. One characteristic of these early ryes, made in and around Baltimore and also Philadelphia, was the chamber still.
We heard from David Wondrich, Chris Middleton, Todd Leopold, Thomas McKenzie, and others on the subject. We learned that chamber stills were made of copper but also sometimes wood. There is an explanation of how such a still works here. We were all over it that June.
Now we return to Leopold Brothers and Todd Leopold, who has -- along with the folks at Louisville's Vendome Copper and Brass -- designed and built a production scale chamber still. It is copper, not wood, stands about 20 feet high, and has four chambers.
Innovation like this, by the way, is what it means to be a craft distiller.
As in a column still, steam is introduced at the bottom and mash enters at the top. Gravity is used to move the mash through the system, but unlike in a column, steam and mash can 'work' in each chamber as long as the distiller wants.
The first chamber, the highest, is a pre-heater, which brings the mash nearly to boiling before it enters the first distillation chamber. Mash is held in the first chamber as steam bubbles through it. When that chamber has done all it can the mash is dropped into the next chamber, which is hotter because it is closer to the steam source. The third and final chamber is the hottest.
Because different alcohols and congeners boil at different temperatures, sending mash through three heat 'zones' effectively frees the alcohol, concentrates good congeners, and eliminates bad ones.
As each batch moves from chamber to chamber, another batch is on its heels. The process is continuous, but in a batch sort of way.
The chamber still is a particularly American solution because it allows distilling on the grain, which has always been practiced in America. In Scotland and Ireland, whiskey is distilled on a wash, from which all solids have been removed. This allows them to use large but relatively simple alembic stills.
Leopold became fixated on the chamber still because it figures so prominently in the early history of rye whiskey. It also solves a production dilemma for Leopold Brothers. They need more whiskey production than their pot and pot hybrid stills alone can deliver, but they don't want the huge output of a full-on column still. They already have one for making neutral spirits but for whiskey, "a column still is a volume instrument," says Leopold. "It doesn't make sense to buy one if you aren't going to run an awful lot of mash through it around the clock." A three-chamber still is a nice, happy medium.
"We have no interest in becoming a large distillery," he says. "That's not our path."
The difference between a continuous still and a chamber still is like the difference between an espresso machine and a French press coffee maker. In the former, steam is forced through the grounds in seconds. In the latter, grounds linger and steep in the hot water to taste. The results are both coffee, but very different.
For most continuous bourbon stills, mash is inside the still in contact with steam for about three minutes. In the three-chamber still it's more like an hour. Both technologies extract all of the alcohol from the mash, but the chamber still extracts more flavor.
It isn't just the unique still. At Leopold's request, a Colorado farmer has planted 100 acres of an heirloom rye strain that was used by distillers in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and also by bakers in the Carolinas. Its difference, compared to modern strains, is starch content. Modern cereals are bred for high starch content. Starch becomes alcohol, so more starch means more yield, but starch content increases at the expense of flavor.
Modern rye strains are about 70 percent starch but the one Leopold is using is about 64 percent. "It has a much richer, nutty and floral flavor," says Leopold.
You can see where this is going. Both the still and the grain variety are less efficient but produce a more flavorful spirit.
"We are trying to recreate the flavors of those original ryes simply because they are lost to time," says Leopold. "It would be a shame to let such a glorious tradition of American whiskey production that was all but wiped out by Prohibition stay wiped out."
From the still's thumper, the distillate goes into the barrel with no additional rectification. A lot of work has gone into this recreation but now comes the hardest part; waiting while it ages.
Tadas A said...
Fascinating!!! Nice to hear about Leopold Brothers. Thank you.
What is the spirit proof do they get in the end after the thumper? What would be a proof from the still if they did not use thumper (i.e. spirit proof before thumper)?
What specific temperatures do they hold in each chamber during distillation?
Chuck Cowdery said...
It comes off the thumper at 65% and is reduced to 55% for barreling. You'll have to ask Todd about the other stuff.
Two reactions:
1) Hell yeah! Let's recapture some of what was lost to Prohibition, particularly what made our spirits (and beers, and ciders) something much better than what they became in the years since!
2) Hey! I'm from Maryland. Quit appropriating our history! You wanna make rye, find the grains that grow well in Colorado (as opposed to hot, humid Maryland) and make your own damned rye.*
*Witg all due respect. Leopold Bros. are making some great stuff.
Wood Guy said...
So where can I get some?
How much mash can be held in each chamber? Are their draws on each chamber or do it all come off the same draw at the end?
Sam Komlenic said...
I'm not sure what happened to my comment here on day one, but I couldn't be more impressed by what the Leopolds have accomplished here.
This is an amazing achievement in modern American distilling that can only be improved by the addition of no corn to the mash, a sweet mash fermentation, and heated aging...can you say Monongahela?
I wish I could come visit this amazing contraption!!
Every comment I've received has been posted.
I don't doubt that, Chuck. I'm guessing it was ghosts in the machine. Technology...it's both a blessing AND a curse. Thanks!
David Wondrich said...
That's actually my back in the picture, and having seen it and discussed it with Todd at some length, I have to say that it's a hell of a thing they've done--bold to the point of (slight) insanity, true, but with the potential to change the way we make rye and bring it out from bourbon's long shadow. Impressive as hell.
To answer a couple questions....
The Rye we use does grow well in Colorado, as it's a very dry State. As you point out, the humidity of the east coast actually wreaks havoc on rye in terms of molds and disease. I"m sure you know that the big rye producers get all their rye from Germany these days.
As for appropriating history, when we first released our Maryland Style Rye, no one had a clue as to what that was, or that there was a long history of Maryland Rye production. We're proud to have had a hand, albeit a small one, in getting the word out about this historical style. It was an homage, and crafted out of respect for Maryland's traditions. Note that at the time, no distillery in MD was making a rye. We didn't want the style to be left to the ash heap
As for the Three Chamber Whiskey, it will be 80% rye, 20% distiller's malt (the common formula used in the 1880's), sweet mash, and at least some of the barrels will be in a heated warehouse.
Each chamber holds several hundred gallons of mash. The steam is directed through each individual chamber, one after the other, and is then directed through a thumper and in to a condenser. The still is run for just 20 minutes, running through heads hearts and tails, before it is stopped, and recharged with fresh mash in the top chamber, while the bottom chamber exits the still as stillage.
Hope that answers everyone's questions. Cheers, Todd Leopold
Looks a bit like the still at the old Michters places in Pennsylvania that I used to crawl around in trying to map out its secrets ( only smaller of course - the Michters still was 5 stories tall had a 12,000 gallon per 24 hour yield and needed a 4 million BTU steam plant)
I would love to distribute your products in CT. I emailed you through the website. What else can I do to get a conversation going to that end?

This article refuted a proposal by someone to be rid of the requirement for the MLS Degree. In my conclusion I do mention that while it may seem like a plausible rallying cry at first, closer examination may reveal that, the proposal may serve only to absolve new library staff from studying for the degree. For the overwhelming majority of those who work in libraries, this will mean a ratcheting down in economic value of library positions, diminishing respect for the profession, and less effective service to library users.

About Harriett … and the Negro Hollywood Road Show
written by BJ Blog Staff
(Source: FinalCall.com) The dramatized biopic Harriet was released on November 1, 2019, unleashing a torrent of cancel culture commentary on social media. Three days later, Floyd Webb, Chicago’s filmophile extraordinaire coined the term “the bi-annual Upset Negro Roadshow Complaining about Hollywood” in his review of the movie.
Although I didn’t totally agree with his review, I respected his opinion. I remember him as the founder and producer of the Blacklight Film Festival, the first Black film festival I ever attended.
What struck me about Floyd’s comment was its absolute truth. Every so often, the trolls among us bang the drum against a Black film. Most egregious of all to me was the attack on Birth of a Nation, directed by Nate Parker and released in 2016.
The release of Harriet was no different. Social media, and even a few noted print publications abounded with complaints. The major criticism seemed to be the casting of Cynthia Erivo, a Tony (musical award) winning actress, born in London to Nigerian parents. Wait a minute. Ain’t she a Black woman? She won her Tony for The Color Purple. Were we mad about that? As for her being a speaker of anti-Black rhetoric, it’s my understanding those words were spoken years ago. Enter the Nate Parker accusatory pattern.
And, while critics were quick to make two negative and erroneous points, focusing on the portrayal of a brutal Black slavecatcher as main villain and Harriet’s master as savior, I failed to see any mention of the opening scene when Vondie Hall Curtis, the preacher, quotes Colos-sians 3:22, “Slaves honor your earthly masters” marking a clear example of how the Bible was used to subjugate our people. And how at night, he was hiding and helping slaves escape to freedom. What about the Fruit of Islam-like navy of Black men who worked the waters and assisted conductors on the Underground Railroad?
But this rant is not really about social media trolls and their inaccurate and strangely biased anti-Harriet self-reviews. I want to expand upon Mr. Webb’s point with which I agree: What have we done for the Black film industry? How many of us have contributed to a film maker? Or is we only good for joining the upset Negro bandwagon. Well, I for one, stand in favor of Harriet … though not perfect and perhaps a tad too long. In the interest of transparency, I don’t go to Hollywood productions to be educated about my history. That’s what educational institutions are for. (Insert shameless plug for controlling, providing the education for our children.)
As a film, Harriet stands high among the Academy Award standards for writing, direction, acting, cinematography and music. I raise the Academy ‘cause that will be the next episode of the roadshow—will the film or Erivo be nominated? Like I say every year: Where’s our Academy Awards? The Oscars are awarded based on nominations by craft—actors vote for actors, directors for directors, etc. We certainly have enough Black people working before and behind the camera to produce such an event. In fact, the American Black Film Festival, founded by Robert Townsend and Will Packer, has staged an award show at each year’s convention. Sometimes it’s televised but without a huge publicity roll-out or coverage by a major media outlet. Which brings us to my next point: What are we doing about film distribution? ‘Cause distribution deals impact income for producers, directors, and sometimes even the cast. It generates ticket sales which become profit—or not.
Here’s how distribution fits in. Black Panther distributed by behemoth Walt Disney opened in 4,020 theaters raking in an average per theater take of $18,890 a day. Harriet on the other hand, distributed by Focus Features, opened in almost exactly half the number, 2,059 theaters, with an average daily take per theater of a measly $1,891 a day. Although I believe the negative word of mouth about Harriett will not sustain itself, the impact of a smear campaign is starkly imprinted with the demise of Birth of a Nation. Released in 2,105 theaters on opening day, it raked in about $1,200 per theater per day. But only three days later, the per theater average number had dropped to $812. Three days being the span of the media hype about Parker’s #MeToo troubles, in which he was accused of sexual misconduct in college. The film was removed from release after only 90 days. Black Panther remained in circulation for 45 weeks. (All film stats were retrieved from https://www.boxofficemojo.com/ which compiles daily box office stats for domestic, foreign, and worldwide receipts.)
The sad reality is we can’t get our films distributed widely. We ain’t got 2,000 Black-owned movie theaters. Do we even have 100? That’s why it’s so difficult to see independent Black films, the ones that become universally adored by us. Think about Daughters of the Dust. So, if you have one Black-owned theater in your city, support it. Let’s pool our resources and build, buy some more. Let’s collaborate on a Black-owned distribution network. And, let’s get off the roadshow.

How Minister Farrakhan’s Jewish Controversy Marks Him As The ‘Jesus’ Of Our Times
by Demetric Muhammad
(Source: FinalCall.com) All throughout the history of the Black experience in America, various Black leaders have been dubbed or identified as “Black Moses.” Harriett Tubman and Marcus Garvey are just two who were considered to be “Black Moses.”
That a Black leader would be designated as Black Moses is significant. And it powerfully suggests that if the suffering of Black people in America gave birth to leaders who fit the description of Moses, one day our suffering would give birth to leaders who fit the description of Jesus.
From my study, both the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan fit the description of Jesus. One only need examine their teachings, their beneficial impact on Black people and their suffering as a result of the truth that they have taught to understand why I have drawn this conclusion.
Jesus’ love of God and righteousness made him bold and courageous. In Jesus’ life and work we see how “love removes fear.” And the New Testament records that his ministry became a problem for Jewish leaders whose corrupt practices enslaved the poor; Jesus challenged them and they opposed him.
So the Jesus Model of Leadership, among Black people in America, is recognized when we see Black leaders facing the powerful opposition of America’s Jewish leaders. The Jesus model is characterized in loving and kind leadership; the Jesus styled leader is gentle and merciful in his interactions with the poor; yet he is simultaneously a man known for a bold and courageous ministry that speaks truth to power. And these are characteristics of the life and work of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

For instance, as a beautiful photo of Minister Farrakhan and Sen. Barack Obama was made public for the first time in over 12 years, Jewish leaders like Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Greenblatt have reacted negatively. Greenblatt, the current leader of the ADL (Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith) has called for former President Obama to repudiate Minister Farrakhan. In a Twitter post he wrote:
Attorney Alan Dershowitz Photo: AP Photo/Frank Franklin II
“In Israel catching up on news about 2005 photo of Obama & Farrakhan. Over his career, @barackobama has denounced the bigotry of Farrakhan. Time to do so again. Leaders always should make sure that there’s no doubt: America is no place for those who advocate #antisemitism or hate.”
Similarly an ADL memo from 1994 entitled the “Legitimation of Louis Farrakhan” wrote that:
“Minister Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI)… has recently attained a new level of acceptance among certain mainstream Black organizations and leaders. His ‘legitimation’ has been reflected most notably by his participation last summer in the Parliament of the World’s Religions, his obtaining federal funds for NOI’s anti-AIDS efforts and the security services it has been providing at several federal housing projects, and his warm reception at the annual legislative meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) last fall.”
The memo’s author Steven Freeman declared:
“ADL is not going to make Farrakhan go away. What we can and should do is impose an obligation on those who deal with him, or, as in the case of universities, give him a platform.”
Freeman’s recommendation that the ADL “impose an obligation” on all who accept the Minister is like the coded language seen in movies like “The Godfather,” when the Godfather, portrayed by Marlon Brando, says, “make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
Freeman’s coded language of retaliation for those who refuse repudiation of the Minister is the modern equivalent of what we read of in the New Testament book of John. The book of John reveals to us that not only had the Jewish leaders planned to crucify Jesus; they had also planned to crucify Lazarus.
“When all the people heard of Jesus’ arrival, they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead. Then the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus, too, for it was because of him that many of the people had deserted themand believed in Jesus.” –John 12: 9-11
From the perspective of the Jewish leaders who opposed Jesus, Lazarus had produced the “legitimation” of Jesus and was causing many others to believe in Jesus. In the modern era persons such as Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr.; actor Bruce Willis; Mayor Ed Rendell; Congressman Keith Ellison; Congressman John Conyers; and presidential candidate Barack H. Obama are just a few famous individuals who Jewish leaders have demanded that they repudiate Minister Farrakhan.
Another parallel from Jesus’ Jewish controversy to Minister Farrakhan’s Jewish controversy is to compare the scripture found in John 7:13 to the comments of journalist William Raspberry. From the Book of John, we read:
“But no one had the courage to speak favorably about him in public, for they were afraid of getting in trouble with the Jewish leaders.”
From Journalist William Raspberry,The Washington Post, March 2, 1990, we read:
“Farrakhan says what so many black people believe but have learned not to say in public: for instance, that Jews wield tremendous influence in the news and entertainment media. That doesn’t mean that most blacks accept Farrakhan’s notion of a small Jewish cabal that meets in Hollywood or in a Park Avenue apartment to decide which ideas and trends are to be foisted off on the public. But few of us doubt the disproportionate influence of Jews—for good or ill—on what we see on television or in the movies. Nor do blacks doubt the disproportionate influence of Jews on American foreign policy, particularly with regard to political and economic support of Israel. But we also know that to say these things is to be accused of antisemitism. That’s why blacks can cheer when Farrakhan says them, even in gross overstatement.”
Another parallel is found in John 7:1 wherein we find the following:
“After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.”
Compare this to Professor Mattias Gardell, in his book“In The Name of Elijah Muhammad Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam,” who wrote of Jewish efforts to kill Minister Farrakhan:
“Pickets with Jews shouting ‘Who do we want? Farrakhan! How do we want him? Dead!’ are far from unusual and the Jewish Defense Organization had Farrakhan on top of the death list found by police investigating a bombing of Arab-American facilities. The Jewish Defense League has staged at least one ‘Death to Farrakhan’ march, on Saviours’ Day, October 7, 1985.”
In another place in the book of John we read:
“Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.” (John 12:42)
Compare this to the history of Minister Farrakhan being loved and lauded by many leaders in various fields; yet many of these leaders become quiet when the Minister is condemned by Jewish leaders. Rapper Nas, in an interview with The Final Call newspaper, spoke on this phenomenon when he said:
“It’s like everybody’s scared to speak out about what’s in their heart, just because they’re scared of who is going to come down on them. They’re scared they’re going to get ‘blacklisted.’ They’re going to get all their endorsements taken away from them. They’re scared that they can’t feed their families.”
Yet despite all of this opposition and harassment of his supporters and admirers the Minister continues to be strong, courageous and mighty! As former ADL director Abraham Foxman,in April 2013 issue of Ha’aertz magazine, said of the Minister, he really is the last man standing. Foxman noted:
“The only leadership that now exists in that community—the African American community—is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan can assemble 20,000 people several times a year…”
The Minister’s strength and widespread appeal is the result of his anointing. So just as the Jewish leaders in the New Testament falsely attributed Jesus’ fame to Lazarus; the modern Jewish leaders falsely attribute Minister Farrakhan’s “legitimation” to Black celebrities and politicians. Truth be told, it is not Minister Farrakhan who is the net beneficiary of his interaction with famous folk. It is quite the opposite.
Yes, we have had “Black Moses,” but we now in the life, work and ministry of Minister Farrakhan we can behold “Black Jesus.” The dilemma now before Black America is a question of whether or not we are going to stand by and allow the modern Jewish leaders to crucify a man who has always defended the Black community, even when it has been unpopular? Theology Professor Andre C. Willis is spot on when he says of the Minister:
“There is simply no Black person in the world that has—over so many years—been as consistent, as unrestricted, and as forthright in defending the humanity of Black people throughout the world against its attackers.”
Who then among us will defend Minister Farrakhan? Or will we once again allow a good man to be crucified?

Has it really been four months?
Apparently it has.
Things have been busy.
Yes, that's what they all say.
I think I've been using Facebook to share things of interest instead of this blog, but Facebook is clearly short-form, while this blog is clearly long-form. I miss long-form!
With what have I been busy, you ask?
(Thanks for asking.)
I've been attempting to study Torah full-time and do freelance writing/editing/development work part-time, but that's basically a recipe for disaster. In the end, I no longer write for pleasure; I no longer feel like a writer at all; I rarely write in my journal; and I feel like five billion other things are ripping at my concentration as I attempt to sit and study Torah. I am failing to enjoy learning Torah while I learn Torah and to enjoy my freelance work while I do my freelance work. The latter is somehow easier than the former, but not by a lot.
The following is a statement that I wrote about my life as a writer. It was true at one time. I am no longer sure that it is. But it's nice to read something that I felt so confident about at the time!
My life as a Jew and my life as a writer are intimately bound up in one another. My voice and the leadership roles that I have taken in the Jewish community have all been through my writing. As someone who was often relegated to the backs and sides of communal spaces as a child growing up in the Orthodox community, and who still feels strongly a part of that world through my allegiance to advanced Torah study, my voice is most easily, and least threateningly, shared through the written word.
My broad, overall goals as a writer are: to engage creatively with all aspects of Jewish life and learning; to share a passionate, caring voice that is eager to engage with both the enormously fulfilling and more heart-breakingly difficult aspects of being a modern, committed Jewish woman; to share my love for both asking questions and seeking answers; and to use my strong grounding in classical Jewish texts to struggle with contemporary issues.
One important sub-goal of my writing is to close the chasm between the emotional and intellectual selves in the world of Jewish learning. In my experience, too much of classical Jewish learning shuns the emotion in favor of the intellect. I seek to bridge that divide by using classical Jewish sources to shed light on our emotional inner lives, and through that, on the emotional truths that permeate so many classical Jewish texts, from Tanakh and its commentaries, to Talmud, halakhah, and its commentaries, to the siddur and its myriad commentaries.
Another one of my goals as I move forward in my continued involvement in the organized Jewish community, especially the community of yoshvei beit midrash—those who sit in the study hall—is use the medium of the written word to tease out the interplay between Jewish text study, Jewish prayer, and mental health issues. These complex relationships exist for many, but are rarely, if ever, spoken of in public.
That's it, really. Just sharing!

2016 Catalyst Workshops
CMG welcomed two sets of incredibly talented, passionate, and experienced change-makers to our Catalyst Workshops in 2016. Over the course of the workshops, CMG helped incubate video projects for 8 organizations’ campaigns with 26 workshop participants and a wide range of speakers and staff. The first ran from September 29 - October 2 with a focus on Healthy Oceans, and the second ran from November 10-13 with a focus on Islands and Climate. The workshops took place at Alnoba in Kensington, New Hampshire, an hour’s drive north of Boston. Participants stayed in on-site cabins & shared meals while focusing on conservation, video and impact.
Participants included:
Executive Directors from the Ocean View Foundation, and SEVENSEAS Marine Conservation & Travel Magazine;
Founders from the Big Blue Network in Versailles, France; the Earth CoLab in India and the Large Marine Vertebrates Project (LAMAVE) in the Philippines;
Communications and marketing staff from The Ocean Foundation, the Coalition To Restore Coastal Louisiana, The Ocean Project, and the Better Future Project at 350 Mass
Community and campaign organizers from 350.org in Fiji, the Global Island Partnership, and the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance;
Graduate students in film and video from American University; and
Filmmakers from California, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, DC, India, and the Philippines
Speakers included:
Senior Producer, World Wildlife Fund
Campaign strategists, DOT Connection Studio
Founder, Island Institute
Online Video Strategist
Former Senior Video Producer, Greenpeace
The Catalyst Capstone Project
The Capstone Project is a practical, project-based learning assignment that challenges organizations and filmmakers to push their projects further. Each Capstone begins with ocean health or renewable energy objectives set by each organization and ends with a 30-90 second concept video with a call-to-action. Capstone groups also develop strategic plans for campaigns, with a focus on distribution, outreach and engagement. Every project includes key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the impact of the video and campaign. Through this process organizations and filmmakers develop deeper working relationships that extend beyond the workshop week.
2016 Healthy Oceans Catalyst Workshop Participants
2016 Capstone Projects: Healthy Oceans
Large Marine Vertebrate Project Philippines (LAMAVE)
Executive Director Alessandro Ponzo and Media Director Sally Snow joined us from the Philippines. As an existing Action Grantee, LAMAVE arrived with the intention of building upon their Their Future Our Future campaign, which aims to mitigate the tourism impact on marine wildlife in the Philippines. Paired with filmmaker Laura Fravel, the group storyboarded ideas geared toward tourists for their campaign. The first film shows the emotional connection between the Philippine people and the ocean, and would be displayed in airports and on busses and ferries. The second film shows key wildlife interaction guidelines for tourists and would be played at wildlife tourism destinations. After the workshops LAMAVE continued their strong relationship with CMG, with the hope to receive a second action grant to continue the ideas generated at the workshop.
Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance (NAMA)
Community Organizer Shira Tiffany joined on behalf of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance, a fishermen-led organization aiming to build a broad movement toward healthy fisheries and fishing communities. We paired Shira with independent filmmaker Sarah Curry and environmental consultant Darcy Metzler. Together the team developed a short concept film encouraging viewers to “Join the RevolOcean” by signing up for NAMA’s newsletter.
The Ocean Project
Kara DiCamillo, Communications and Social Media Strategist for The Ocean Project, arrived with the goal to bring more action to World Oceans Day. They had three campaign objectives for their capstone project: to increase the total number of events and activities registered on their site, to increase international outreach, and to create more youth engagement. We paired Kara with Elizabeth Herzfeldt-Kamprath, an American University graduate student, and Kimberley Gervereau, Founder of the Big Blue Network. They produced a short concept video of “How You Can Celebrate” World Oceans Day highlighting ideas for events and activities to stimulate the audience in creating their own events. After the workshop the video launched on social media and lives on the World Oceans Day's website. In less than two months the video received over 4,000 views.
SEVENSEAS Magazine
SEVENSEAS Marine Conservation & Travel Magazine’s Executive Director Giacomo Abrusci and Project Coordinator Marcus Reamer joined us with the objective to increase the number of subscriptions to their online publication. We paired them with Ashley Holmes, a graduate student in Film and Video at American University, and together the trio produced a short film that was released to the public the final morning of the workshop. The video used stunning images pulled from previous editions of the magazine and showed how SEVENSEAS can play a part in saving our ocean, appealing to marine enthusiasts and marine conservation professionals. SEVENSEAS launched the video they made at the workshop the week after the workshop ended. The video was released in the organization's newsletter and on social media. In less than two months the video received over 4,600 views.
2015 Energy Catalyst Workshop Participants
2016 Capstone Projects: Islands & Climate
Fenton Lutunatabua, campaigner for 350 Pacific, joined us from Fiji and was paired with Meena Hussain, an independent digital communications strategist; Jarrod Curry, Marketing Manager for the Ocean Foundation; and Adams Wood, an independent filmmaker. The team created a short training video to build capacity for the Pacific Island Warriors Network. To provide more individualized and dispersed access to storytelling tools, the film showed activists how to capture footage on a smartphone and make higher quality videos on their own. After viewing the video, members of 350 Pacific’s activist network will be encouraged to come up with their own short films to be viewed at their Faith Leaders Forum in September 2017. After the workshop Fenton used the video at the 350.org Pacific Climate Warriors Coordinators Strategy Retreat in Fiji, in one of the workshops on storytelling and story collecting. Each of the participants were able to use the video guide in the training to create content for one of their assignments. They will then take the video created at the workshops and use it with the different grassroots communities they work in across the 15 Pacific Island Countries, that the 350.org Pacific network deals with. Fenton notes that "the video we created in [at the workshop] has also been shared widely with other organizers in the movement and with in 350.org" and that he has been in contact with team members discussing strategy, and even has discussed bringing Adams to Samoa for the Faith Leaderes Forum to do some shooting, editing and training.
Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL)
CRCL’s Communications Director, Jimmy Frederick, joined us from Baton Rouge with the objective of increasing local action in response to rapid loss of land along Louisiana’s coast. Jimmy worked with New Orleans Video Access Center producer Katie Mathews and communications strategist Lauren Reid to produce a film that would convey the urgency of defending the coast. Using a relatable metaphor of land loss in terms of football fields per second, the proposed video urges viewers to join the CRCL membership community, with a goal for a 25% increase in memberships for 2017.
GLISPA Island Resilience Initiative
Stewart Sarkozy-Banoczy from the Global Island Partnership’s new Island Resilience Initiative joined us with the goal of promoting action towards building resilient and sustainable island communities. We paired Stewart with DC Visionaries filmmaker and COO Celene DiStasio and Pooja Gupta, founder of the EARTH CoLab, who uses animation to tell stories of conservation. The team produced a short concept film aimed at increasing membership levels for GLISPA by inspiring leadership, catalyzing commitments and facilitating collaboration for all islands.
Ocean View Foundation (OVF)
Ocean View Foundation Director Kim Gaffett joined us from Block Island off the coast of Rhode Island. We paired her with independent filmmaker and CMG Fellow Ayla Fox and communications strategist Katherine Anderson to assist the foundation in its efforts to create action in regards to sea level rise due to climate change. They developed a video directed at year-round and seasonal Block Island residents with the objective of building on the island’s no-nonsense ingenuity. The strategy for the film and campaign revolves around a reframing of the sea level rise threat as yet another opportunity to rise up and solve a problem as a resilient island community. After the workshops Kim's naturalist program became endowed with The Nature Conservancy and she is working with them to develop a new film about conservation on Block Island, which she hopes for Ayla to work on.
The CMG Workshops are made possible with generous support from the Lewis Family Foundation, providing us with direct program funding and use of Alnoba.

Republican Hair Touring With The Cadillac Three Raises Poverty Awareness With “Haircuts For Humans”
By Mandy Slegers on January 17, 2019 in Alt Country Corner, Artists, Culture, Features, Music, News, Tours
Nashville post-punk/power-pop outfit Republican Hair will make their triumphant return to the road next month, supporting The Cadillac Three throughout the Midwest and headlining shows in the Southeast for the first time. Kicking-off at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit on February 28th and spanning into April, the run of dates will see Republican Hair hitting Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago and more.
News of the tour closely follows the band’s hometown performance at Lightning 100’s Festivus Charity Show and the release of their new single “Chaotic Good,” which American Songwriter called “three minutes of gloriously irreverent post-punk” while premiering the video last month.
In addition, the band is pumped to have teamed up with Scout’s Barbershop in Nashville for National Poverty Awareness Month. They’ll be contributing their talents to raise money for Martha O’Bryan Center and Backfield in Motion’s 3rd Annual fundraising campaign “Haircuts for Humans” which has raised $12,000 in the past two years and is shooting to hit a total of$25,000 with this year’s campaign.
In November, Republican Hair donated all proceeds from their show at The Basement to help promote and fund the cause and for all of January, patrons visiting Scout’s Barbershops are given the opportunity to sponsor a haircut to a person in need from the community. Then on February 4th, Scout’s, Republican Hair and teens from Backfield in Motion will cook and serve a hot meal at the Kid’s Café to children and families living in a food desert located in the heart of the James Cayce Homes in East Nashville.
Republican Hair is the brain-child of Nashville songwriter Luke Dick and channels the same story-telling vehicles and divergent lyricism Dick utilizes when writing hit singles for the likes of Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, and Kacey Musgraves. Dick recently sat down with NPR’s Jewly Hight and fellow Nashvillian Natalie Hemby to discuss creativity, songwriting and his forthcoming film “Red Dog”…a feature-length documentary he wrote, directed and scored that explores his unique upbringing at an Oklahoma City strip club where his mother danced…you can read the full round-table discussion HERE.

Trump dossier author feared congressional investigations, Bruce Ohr 302s show
By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Thursday, August 8, 2019
Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who compiled the salacious anti-Trump dossier that sparked the Russia investigation, feared congressional inquiries, according to new documents released Thursday night.
The surprising revelation was the most interesting detail among the 34 pages of FBI agent interview notes with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Known as 302s, the notes document FBI agents’ interviews with Mr. Ohr.
In May 2017, Mr. Ohr told the agents Mr. Steele was “worried” about the upcoming Senate testimony of then-FBI Director James B. Comey. The 302s do not indicate specifically what he feared Mr. Comey might say, but he was especially concerned about questions that he expected to be raised by Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican. At that time, Mr. Grassley chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The section detailing what had Mr. Steele so worried is heavily redacted.
Mr. Ohr also told the agents Mr. Steele informed him that the United Kingdom’s disclosure laws were more narrow and thus restricted his ability to testify before Congress, according to the release.
Mr. Ohr is the Justice Department official who met with Steele and Glenn Simpson, who was head of opposition research firm Fusion GPS. His wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016 presidential campaign.
In the months prior to the election, the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee hired Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on her opponent, Donald Trump.
The Justice Department released the 302s in response to a lawsuit by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group.

Real Life Diagnostics: Do Intro Prologues Work?
Real Life Diagnostics is a weekly column that studies a snippet of a work in progress for specific issues. Readers are encouraged to send in work with questions, and I diagnose them on the blog. It’s part critique, part example, designed to help the submitter as well as anyone else having a similar problem.
If you're interested in submitting to Real Life Diagnostics, check out the page for guidelines.
Submissions currently in the queue: Five
This week’s question:
This is a short prologue from my work in progress. Does it make you keep reading?
On to the diagnosis…
The flames leapt upward, greedily devouring the floor. Oil buckets catch and burst into even more flames. That precious, heavenly fabric of which I made my life is burning, burning, burning into nothing. Only hours before I had stitched it into fine white shirtwaists fit for a fairytale. Now all around the center of my world is slipping away to ash. Will I? Peering through the hazy smoke I know that I alone cannot answer the question.
Suddenly, a scream jolts me out of my trance-like state. I whip my head around and see Eve, my dearest friend, being burned before my very eyes. Another scream fills the smoky air. Only when I shut my mouth do I realize that it is mine. I scramble to help her, stamping out the flames that had been inching up her skirt. Eve throws her arms around me but her eyes are still riddled with fear.
Over in a corner, Cora, whom I had chatted with at lunch only two hours before, was praying the rosary as flames crept even closer to her crouched form. Then I realized it. Max Blanck and Isaac Harris would forever have the blood of their shirtwaist girls on their hands. If only they could have agreed to the union’s conditions. If only our precious strike hadn’t failed. All those months of cold and hunger, wasted just to die in a fire started by the hands of a careless cutter. If only, if only, if only. But I couldn’t stop to wish now. No, there was too much at stake. My life, the lives of my fellow workers…
My name is Clara Peters, New York socialite turned shirtwaist girl. My name is Clara Peters, and my life could be so much longer. My name is Clara Peters, and this is my story.
My Thoughts in Purple:
The flames leapt upward, greedily devouring the floor. Oil buckets catch and burst into even more flames. [That precious, heavenly fabric of which I made my life is burning, burning, burning into nothing.] That the narrator is concerned about the fabric and not her own life is intriguing, since it’s unexpected Only hours before I had stitched it into fine white shirtwaists fit for a fairytale. Now all around the center of my world is slipping away to ash. Will I? [Peering through the hazy smoke I know that I alone cannot answer the question.] The detached tone in this pulls me out of the narrative a bit. She seems too self aware considering the situation.
[Suddenly, a scream jolts me out of my trance-like state.] Considering how often prologues actually do start with someone in a trace, I’m not sure if what’s happening is real or a vision of hers. Though this might be clear if you read the cover blurb I whip my head around and see Eve, my dearest friend, being burned before my very eyes. Another scream fills the smoky air. [Only when I shut my mouth do I realize that it is mine.] Again, the detached “watching myself” tone pulls me out here I scramble to help her, stamping out the flames that had been [inching up her skirt.] This makes it seem like Eve only have a little fire on her, but earlier it said she was “being burned before my eyes,” which suggested she was engulfed in flames. Eve throws her arms around me but her eyes are still riddled with fear.
Over in a corner, Cora, whom I had chatted with at lunch only two hours before, was praying the rosary as flames crept even closer to her crouched form. [Then I realized it. Max Blanck and Isaac Harris would forever have the blood of their shirtwaist girls on their hands.] This feels a little out of the blue since I don’t know who any of these characters are so far. It's also a strange thing to think about considering she's about to be burned to death. If only they could have agreed to the union’s conditions. If only our precious strike hadn’t failed. All those months of cold and hunger, wasted just to die in a fire started by the hands of a careless cutter. If only, if only, if only. But I couldn’t stop to wish now. No, there was too much at stake. My life, the lives of my fellow workers…
[My name is Clara Peters, New York socialite turned shirtwaist girl. My name is Clara Peters, and my life could be so much longer. My name is Clara Peters, and this is my story.] This tells me she survives, and that this is all told in retrospective. While tastes vary, knowing the first person narrator is telling the story form the future lessens the tension of the story for me, because I know they don’t die no matter how dire their circumstances seem. I don’t think you need this para.
Does it make you keep reading?
The prologue is short, which is a plus, and it’s nicely written, but there a few things that kept me from engaging in the story. They’re not enough to make me stop reading, but if things didn’t change in the next page or two, I don’t know if I’d continue. (This is the danger of prologues)
There’s a lot of great action, but I have no character I care about to make me worry, so I have no emotional attachment to the story. The couple of detached lines added to this feeling. I’d suggest adding a little more internalization and characterization for Clara to make me care about her during this fire. Let me see she’s a good person so I hope she makes it out of this. Or let me see something intriguing about her or the situation to hook me.
One danger with an opening like this is that it’s like turning on the TV In the middle of an action scene where you know nothing about the movie or the characters. It’s all just stuff happening and you don’t know what any of it means. Being caught in a fire is a scary situation and makes for a great scene if the reader cares about the people caught in that fire.
There are also five characters introduced or mentioned in a little over 300 words, which is too many to connect to in so short a space. They’re just names to me, so again, I don’t care what happens to them. Clara does care about Eve, so there’s a little there to show me A) Clara is worth saving here, and B) maybe Eve is too if Clara cares about her. That might be an area you develop to flesh out the emotional layer of this scene. Show the friendships and who these girls are so can fear for their lives.
Lastly, there’s no hook (another danger with this type of prologue). I don’t know where the story is going from this or what the problem is Clara has to solve (though it is possible to know that from the cover blurb going in, but there’s nothing here to hook in and of itself). This could be the end of her story or the event that sets her on her path of it. From a story standpoint, why should a reader invest in Clara’s story? What about this prologue says “spend time with Clara?” There’s a hint of it where she realizes the owners of the store are at fault, but it’s not a strong enough story question yet to make me wonder about it. Depending on what the story is about, this could be an area to further develop as well.
You might try asking yourself a few questions:
1. What is the point of this prologue? If it’s just to show “what happened” so the reader gets the story going forward, odds are you’re relying on backstory and infodump to hook the reader, which rarely works. If this is the end of Clara’s story, and it starts with “One week earlier” or the like, you risk killing all your tension because the reader knows what’s going to happen.
2. What do you want readers to take away from this scene? If there’s a reason to start here, you might try looking for ways to better illustrate that reason. If it’s the start of the story and Clara takes action based on this, perhaps show her making that choice in the prologue. Is this about her making the owners of the store pay for this? A story of how she puts her life back after this event? What about this scene sets the tone and expectations for the book? What tone and expectations do you want to set?
3. If you cut this prologue, would it change the story? Most prologues can go. If you started your story at chapter one, how would it read? If it’s important to know she was part of this fire, it’s easy to slip that into the narrator in the opening chapter. Maybe she’s scarred and someone notices, or she sees an open flame and remembers a bit (not a lot) about what happened to her and why that’s driving her. You might try a few test readers with both versions and see which one grabs attention better.
Gang, what do you think?
Thanks to our brave volunteer for submitting this for me to play with. I hope they – and others – find it helpful. I don’t do a full critique on these, (just as it pertains to the questions) and I encourage you to comment and make suggestions of your own. Just remember that these pieces are works in progress, not polished drafts, so be nice and offer constructive feedback.

It's really hard to comment without seeing what chapter one is, but it did seem to me that this was the end of the story, and we were going to read about a socialite's fall. I think these kinds of see-the-end prologues can add a lot of tension -- we'll always be waiting for the other shoe to drop as she goes about, unknowing -- but these prologues *can* also signal a problem of a slow, unexciting beginning that needs something injected into it to make it interesting. So, if you're worried the first chapters are boring, I'd revise until they don't feel that way, then see if you still like the prologue.
Chicory 12/17/11, 12:20 PM
I think one difficulty is that this prologue is all visual. Some heat and smells would go a long way toward making me feel like I'm in the middle of the fire. Maybe using other senses would make the heroine seem less detached.
Khanada 12/17/11, 2:01 PM
I agree that Clara feels very detached here. She is so calm, and I guess I would expect that more if she were already safe -- like if she were outside watching the building burn, these types of thoughts might go through her mind.
This prologue wouldn't stop me from reading further -- though I don't feel much for Clara yet, there's something about the writing that makes me want to give the author more of a chance. Thank you very much for sharing your prologue!
Charlie Rice 12/17/11, 2:42 PM
As mentioned above, whether or not the prologue works for me depends on the first chapter. Personally, I shy away from opening with an action scene because I don't care about anyone yet, as you pointed out. If the prologue turns out to be the end of the story, I put the book down.
Judging this prologue on it's own, I'd keep reading. :)
PattiBuff 12/17/11, 5:14 PM
I agree with what Chicory said - we have all visuals and no emotion. I want to feel the fear of being trapped in a sweatshop with no way to escape. I want to feel the anger she has at the bosses for putting their lives at risk.
A good way to portray anger is through short, curt sentences. Short sentences move the action along and can show a lot of character. They also have the advantage of showing panic and fear. I like what you have but it doesn't capture how being trapped in a fire feels, it doesn't pull me in.
The line of "my live could have been so much longer" makes me think that she might have died as a result. I'd keep reading to see if that was true. But if after reading the first chapter I realized the prologue was in fact the end, I'd lose interest.
Thanks so much for sharing. I think you have a good story line here. Good job!
Penny 12/17/11, 8:22 PM
Two things might make me stop reading. The first is the way the prologue jumps between past and present tense: The flames "leapt," the oil buckets "catch," screams
"jolt," Cora "was praying." This bumping around suggests lack of authorial control.
Second, for an action scene, there's a lot of musing. The whole reflection about the union seems unrealistic to me. I would imagine someone thinking, "Those bastards! Now they're killing us!" while running and beating against the door. The "if only" sequence suggests a degree of leisurely thinking unlikely in someone terrified by approaching flames.
elizabeth dunn 12/18/11, 4:05 PM
I agree with Penny. Also I'd like to know, be grounded better, in the time period. My first thought was a sweatshop in Dickensian London but when I read socialite and union I thought modern day. Am I right?
Siri Paulson 12/19/11, 3:06 PM
For those who are curious: the contextual clues make me assume that this is the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Fire ). I'm also guessing that Clara dies in the fire ("my life could be [could have been] so much longer"), so this is the end of the story, not the beginning. I could be wrong, though.
Oh, great Siri. Thanks. Will look it up immediately if not only for the wonderful and bizarre name.
Some really great comments here that I agree with. I also got the detached feeling. And slow-mo kinda vibe. She talks to long and precise for this situation. And she had "chatted" earlier at lunch. This seems anachronistic. WE chat at lunch. But before unions and such, there were few employers who did lunch breaks. From my understanding, workers had two meals a day, before and after work. And in many places at that time, any mid-day meal was called dinner, after the agricultural tradition, even after people moved to the city. Just a few details that you might want to check.
Good luck, I love stories from that time period!
capng 2/11/12, 11:29 AM
Took me a while to figure out that it was the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. At first it seemed like a retelling of the Six Swans, weirdly enough, and then I thought it was either in the distant future or the Civil war, because of that statement about the union. It was good, but I've read a novel of the Triangle fire called Ashes of Roses, which was incredibly good and incredibly sad.

What We Learned From 2018’s Best Ads
by Motivated Marketing | Feb 7, 2019 | Industry News, Media, Production |
It’s more than a football game.
For spectators, it’s a national holiday of sorts. One that’s enthusiastically celebrated by an audience as wide as a linebacker’s shoulders, from die-hard fans who didn’t miss a game all season to entertainment lovers who’ve been making halftime performer predictions since summertime.
For players, it’s the realization of a lifelong dream. The moment many of them have been working toward since their first peewee practice. From touch to tackle to the national stage.
For marketers and the brands they partner with, the Super Bowl is an invaluable opportunity. One that, at $5 million a pop, they can’t afford to waste. That’s right, 30 seconds spots came with a $5 million price tag last year!
Like a disciplined team watching game tape, the best marketers analyze the best commercials. They watch the most clever and heartwarming ads to determine why they worked, why they created a buzz, why we’re still talking about them a year later.
Watch our three favorite ads from Super Bowl LII, and then check out the ways we’ve incorporated the brands’ plays into our own book.
Pick #1
Why it works:As viewers meander in from the kitchen with a cold beer and a replenished plate of wings, they think they know exactly what to expect before the first pass is even thrown: 30 seconds of football players running plays while a deep-voiced VO delivers an inspiring message of perseverance and team pride. Well, the NFL’s Super Bowl ad certainly went off script – and their audience ate it up. It was unexpected, it was original. And it was funny.
Our take:Like the NFL’s ad that grabbed attention (and tucked it close to the chest), M2 took a similar approach when crafting this Vehicles Direct ad. It opens mundanely enough in a dentist’s office, but quickly takes a turn. Spoiler alert: it’s not an ad for dental services.
Why it works:Tide launched a campaign as fresh as the clothes it launders, making detergent funny in a way that only the beloved brand can. What made the commercials so brilliant, though, was the acknowledgement that they were advertisements. Instead of shying away from the obvious fact that the audience is indeed viewing an ad, Tide poked fun at it. The result? The campaign left an indelible mark – there’s a stain remover for that, you know – on viewer’s minds.
Our take: M2 took a stab at a similar concept, creating parodies of off-the-wall attorney commercials. Wild, wacky parodies opened the spots and were then contrasted with our client’s trustworthy, confident manner. The ads have gotten some great results, and we think you’ll see why.
Why it works: This ad, courtesy of Doritos and Mountain Dew, used famous faces (and voices) to introduce some tasty new products. The brands came up with a unique concept, chose their cast wisely and watched the magic unfold on set. We can only imagine they ended the shoot with the undeniably appropriate words, “That’s a (w)rap!” And that there were some pretty good snacks on set.
Our take: The rapper cast by M2’s production team hasn’t quite reached Missy Elliott status, but we’re privileged to regularly work with some ridiculously talented folks. We relied on one local rapper to make this ad, and our client was thrilled with the final product.

Apple products are for people who like to play it safe
In the tablet/smartphone space I’ve generally been of the opinion that the number of apps is a bogus metric. I can’t possibly use more than a handful, and generally the most often used ones, email, calendar, etc. they all have. But I recently I read the post-counter-post by David and Jason of 37Signals which opened my eyes.
The following excerpt sums it all up:
Now you could argue that they could do all these things if the platform only had 50,000, 10,000, 5,000 apps. And maybe they could. You could do a lot on your Mac in the 90s, but a shitload of people bought Windows machines instead because there was more software available on Windows. They wanted to know that if they walked into the computer store, just about anything they bought would work on their Windows machine. Rational or not, people buy into safety. That’s why 200,000 apps matter.
It’s the safety of knowing whatever app you might eventually want will be available to you, even if you never buy it. That’s what makes iOS so compelling, not only does it have an astronomically high number of apps, it also has the built in integration with car and home electronics because of its MP3 monopoly. Forgetting for a second Apple’s cult like fan loyalty, it’s a safe bet to be capable of doing all those cool things you didn’t even know you could do yet.
I love my Windows Phone, but its market share is small and future uncertain. Its much clearer to me why Microsoft is betting its tablet future not on growing the Windows Phone platform up to the tablet, but instead by bringing full blown Windows down to the tablet. Windows comes with an astronomical list of apps and device compatibility already established.
RIF Notes #6
A little lite on links but I make up for it on quotes on this post, a few inspired during my recent vacation.
“When we consider a project, we really study it--not just the surface idea, but everything about it. And when we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way. We have confidence in our ability to do it right. And we work hard to do the best possible job” – Walt Disney
“We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public” – Walt Disney
“On the other hand, when you do your work on someone else's schedule, your productivity plummets, because you are responding to the urgent, not the important, and your rhythm is shot.” – Seth Godin
Windows 8 Is Gorgeous, But Is It More Than Just A Shell? – For anyone who hasn’t seen windows 8 yet, this is a nice short demo. Shows Windows 8 sporting a Windows Phone like Metro touch interface, as well as the ability to run on tablets.
Demystifying Entity Framework Strategies: Loading Related Data- This is about lazy-loading vs eager loading as it pertains to EF. But I think the discussion of the topic has broader implication for deciding which and when to use each approach.

Lack of communication, back off
Over the past couple of years I’ve acquired a number of different devices, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Each of them had or has a certain gadgety coolness factor, but each is more remarkable for its incompleteness and lack of interoperability with the others, which is how I ended up with a so many of them.
Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-Ray
I forget which device came first but I’ll start with the Blu-Ray player. I have the Samsung BD-P1500, which was one of the early models that played DVD, Blu-Ray and also offered Netflix and Pandora. This was a pretty good start on integration, getting Netflix streaming without needing another device is ideal. The only real complaint is that it doesn’t allow you to search for movies from the Blu-Ray interface, you have to queue them up using the website.
Directv HR24
But what about all my music, videos and pictures on my PC can I access those from by TV? Not with my Blu-Ray player, but the Directv HR24 HD DVR is capable of streaming music, videos and pictures from my PC using Media Share and windows media center. Unfortunately, its completely unreliable. Most content won’t play and usually causes the DVR’s Media Share service to hang. TVersity is better, although only some old hard to find version of the software will work, so I can’t ever upgrade it. Nevertheless is provides transcoding and therefore I can get most media to play, albeit via a clunky and rudimentary interface.
How about media on the go? In the car I had the Garmin 760, which is not only a capable GPS but offered MP3, Audiobook playback, and Bluetooth for hands free calling. The GPS is great, other than searching for an address or location which takes an ungodly amount of time. The MP3 player is very basic, the Audiobooks are pretty cool as it integrates nicely with Audible.com. The drawback is the Garmin’s audio. MP3’s aren’t worth listening too, and the hands free calling via Bluetooth is so poor as to be worthless. It does have a headphone jack which might overcome some of these deficiencies if my car stereo had a audio aux port, which it didn’t. Not to mention manually copying files via USB is a bit cumbersome. Yet it served me well for GPS, and Audiobooks for quite some time.
My wife has an iPod Touch, which has the nice sync features with iTunes, but also suffers from the painful iTunes lock in, where none of her media is playable on my other devices. Nevertheless, she does have the audio aux port in her car and thus its worked nicely for her. The other huge advantage of Apple products is, due to there MP3 player monopoly, AV Receivers, Car stereos and other electronics have specific integration that devices on other platforms just don’t have. I’ll talk about those in a bit.
We have a Wii, which you’d think would have the ability to be an integration media hub, but alas it isn’t. First off it inexplicably doesn’t play DVD, forget about Blu-Ray because it isn’t high def. It doesn’t have the capacity to integrate with windows media center or TVersity. Although, because it has a browser you can jump through some hoops and get it to play media. One thing it does have going for it is the Netflix app. It gives full browsable access to Netflix as well as the ability to play content directly on the Wii, in standard def. of course.
The droid has a lot of features, it plays music, audiobooks, podcasts, email, camera, bluetooth, Pandora, just got Netflix, and so on. What it lacks is iTunes like convenient sync features. Getting media on and off the device is via USB drag and drop, and the USB connection requires a tedious couple of menu’s every time you hook it up. I also used it to tether to my laptop while traveling once or twice which was nice. My biggest complaint is the email application. Its plain awful. I suppose if I wanted to shift my email, calendar and contacts over to Gmail it may have been a different story, but I resent the fact that my phone is dictating which services I use. So I resist, and continue to try and use hotmail. There is no calendar and contact integration, and the email application needs to be forcibly stopped and restarted at least daily or it gets hung and just spins and spins.
The Kindle is definitely well built, compact and easy to use. Where other devices are hard to read in different types of light, the kindle excels. If you’re reading paperback novels then the kindle ,and electronic ink, is the obvious answer. It lacks a touch screen and has a physical rather than virtual keyboard. That makes the screen smaller than it could be, and a little less natural for turning pages than others but not a big deal. Where it really falls down is with PDF’s and color. If you want to read a PDF the experience is not great, and if you’re reading something with charts, graphs, things that require color, you can forget it. But that’s ok, because where the kindle really shines is that it has accomplished cross device integration. There’s an app for the PC, Mac, Droid, iPod, iPad, windows phone, etc. Some of which handle color and/or touch and they’re all kept in sync. You can start reading on the kindle, read a little on the droid, then pick up in the right spot on your PC.
There’s not a lot of of difference between the iPod and iPad except for screen size. But that kind of makes a big difference in a couple of situations. It makes the iPad a much more practical media device, for playing movies, reading books, and playing games. Again you can play Netflix, HBO GO, iTunes, iBooks, Kindle etc. For me, it’s a portable streaming TV. The other area where screen size matters is that the virtual keyboard is actually usable, unlike iPods and smartphones, you can actually kind of type on the big full keys. It has a lot of the same advantages and disadvantages of the iPod. Many devices are already built to integrate with it, but you’re also locked into iTunes. My windows media center and tversity are equally unavailable to it. I could switch from using iTunes for all media, and that’s becoming more practical with the recent introduction of Home sharing.
Window Phone 7 (HTC Trophy)
I’ve been waiting a long time for the windows phone, primarily because I assumed because it was a Microsoft device it would offer better integration with my hotmail, calendar and contacts, as well as better sync-ing using Zune. There’s nothing special about the device itself, its all about the WP7 OS. Having used the Droid for a year and a half, WP7 seems like a pretty big improvement. Email integration works super smooth, I even hooked up my Gmail account (required by the Droid) and that worked smooth too. I set up my phone to sync with my PC wirelessly via Zune. It syncs music, photos, videos and podcasts automatically. It also offers the ability to watch Netflix, and read kindle books.
Denon AVR 1911
The center of my home entertainment system in the AV receiver that everything is routed through before going to the TV. I only mention this device because of its built in support for iPod. Further, with an hdmi adapter, you can hook up the iPad to it as well. Something droids, windows phones, can’t do.
jvc kw-nt3hdt
I recently replaced my factory car stereo with the jvc. It offers Navigation (so I no longer need the garmin), plays CD, DVD, has audio input, USB (again for the iPod/iPad) and bluetooth. The bluetooth is the killer feature. Not only for the phone, which is nicer because it has a microphone, but for the streaming audio. I can wirelessly stream music, podcasts and audiobooks from Droid or WP7, offering basic control from the onscreen menu.
Ok, so what’s the point of all this?
Basically to point out the obvious. It would be nice to have a handful of devices that integrate very well while offering all the features you want. Play CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, Netflix, other streaming services, games, phone, eBooks, access your own pictures, home movies, music collection. If you pick the right stack you get pretty close today, but once you mix and match suddenly you end up with a multitude of specialty devices.
I don’t own an XBox, but I suspect that with a windows Phone, Zune, and an XBox I could get most of the way there, of course giving up on the Wii games and Blu-ray playback. Blu-ray being the biggest shame, if XBox offered that I could eliminate another device entirely.
With an AppleTV, iPhone, iPod, iPad, iTunes and maybe a few other apple products I could probably build an equally integrated media solution with a relatively low number of devices.
I’m not sure if such a solution would be available with GoogleTV and Android, or PS3 based.

Karan Johar to introduce Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara and Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan in his next film?
After Showman of Bollywood Raj Kapoor, Yash Chopra and Subhash Ghai, it seems Karan Johar is the latest Showman in the film industry.
The young and dynamic filmmaker has literally become the Godfather for many youngsters like Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Siddharth Malhotra, Nikhil Advani, Soham Shah, Tushar Mansukhani, AyanMukerji, RensilD’Souza, Puneet Malhotra, Karan Malhotra, Shakul Batra etc the list is long.
With hit films like STUDENT OF THE YEAR, AGNEEPATH, EK MAIN AUR EKK TU and BROTHER, Karan Johar has gained confidence in new talent and is all out to promote new comers.
The latest to join the prestigious Dharma production, Karan Johar’s Production House, are none other but two new comers of famous film personalities. Buzz is Karan Johar is planning a casting coup by introducing Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara and Shahid Kapoor’s step brother Ishaan who is the son of Rajesh Khattar and Neelima Azim (Shahid’s mother).
Though the director for the film is yet to be finalized the buzz is strong that Karan would be producing the movie under his banner of a Dharma Productions venture.
Recently media was rife about Sara Ali Khan expressing her desire to join Bollywood. She is recently studying at the Columbia University and will complete her graduation degree next year. Hence chances are the film might start next year because papa Saif Ali Khan has made it clear that he has no objection about Sara joining Bollywood but she should first completes her formal education and then join films.
As regards Ishaan, he is a trained dancer just like his elder brother Shahid Kapoor and has also worked on other films as an assistant.

South Asia’s hotspots : the impact of temperature and precipitation changes on living standards (Inglês)
South Asia is highly vulnerable to climate change. Average temperatures have been rising throughout the region, and rainfall has become more erratic. ... Exibir mais + These changes are projected to continue accruing over the coming decades. South Asia’s Hotspots: The Impact of Temperature and Precipitation Changes on Living Standards is the first book of its kind to provide granular spatial analysis of the long-term impacts of changes in average temperature and precipitation on one of the world’s poorest regions. South Asia’s Hotspots finds that higher temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns will reduce living standards in communities across South Asia—locations that the book terms hotspots.More than 800 million people in South Asia currently live in communities that are projected to become hotspots under a carbon-intensive climate scenario. Global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will reduce the severity of hotspots. Diverse and robust development is the best overall prescription to help people in hotspots. The book also suggests actions tailored to each country in the region such as increasing employment in non-agricultural sectors, improving educational attainment, and expanding access to electricity that would offset the declines in living standards associated with hotspots. South Asia’s Hotspots complements previous studies detailing the impacts of sea-level rise and extreme events on the people of South Asia. Together, these bodies of work create a sound analytical basis for investing in targeted policies and actions to build climate resilience throughout the region. Exibir menos -

The impact of climate change on global tropical storm damages (Inglês)
This paper constructs an integrated assessment model of tropical cyclones in order to quantify the impact that climate change may have on tropical cyclone damages in countries around the world. ... Exibir mais + The paper relies on a tropical cyclone generator in each ocean and several climate models to predict tropical cyclones with and without climate change. A damage model is constructed to compute the resulting damage when a cyclone strikes each country. Economic development is expected to double global tropical cyclone damages because more will be in harm's way. Climate change is expected to double global damage again, causing an additional $54 billion of damage per year. The damage is projected to be concentrated in North America and eastern Asia but many Caribbean islands will suffer the highest damages per unit of GDP. Most of the increased damage will be caused by rare but very powerful storms. Exibir menos -

The impact of climate change on hurricane damages in the United States (Inglês)
This paper quantifies hurricane damage caused by climate change across the US. A damage function is estimated from historic hurricane data to measure the impacts at each location given the storm's strength. ... Exibir mais + The minimum barometric pressure of each storm turns out to be a better indicator of damages than the traditional measure of maximum wind speed. A hurricane generator in the Atlantic Ocean is then used to create 5000 storms with and without climate change. Combining the location and intensity of each storm with the income and population projected for each location, it is possible to estimate a detailed picture of how hurricanes will impact each state with and without climate change. Income and population growth alone increase expected baseline damage from $9 to $27 billion per year by 2100. Climate change is expected to increase damage by another $40 billion. Over 85 percent of these impacts are in Florida and the Gulf states. The 10 percent most damaging storms cause 93 percent of expected damage. Exibir menos -

Friday Follies for November 14, 2014
Posted on Friday, November 14, 2014, 10:54 am by Crucis
I haven’t used the ‘Follies’ headline for awhile. I do so when there are a number of items appearing on the ‘net but none worthy for a longer post nor discussion.
We won the mid-term ten days ago. We should be celebrating but we’re not. Why? Because we are watching the Washington GOP leadership selling us down the river0—again. The day after the election, McConnell tells a reporter he will not use Congress’ more potent weapon, the power of the purse. “We won’t shut down the government!” he declares meaning he will continue with the stream of CRs and upholding Harry Reid’s plan for funding everything we’re against—Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, open border, and governmental tyranny across the nation.
“Throw the bum out!” Too late, McConnell has been re-elected as Majority leader. Boehner was re-elected Speaker of the House with only three dissenting votes.
McConnell chosen as next Senate majority leader, Boehner re-elected as House speaker
Published November 13, 2014, Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell joined House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio on Thursday at the pinnacle of the congressional and Republican power structures in Washington — two establishment deal-cutters, each on occasion frustrated by the other’s inability to rein in their party’s most zealous ideologues.
The pair, formally selected Thursday to lead their party’s new majority control of Congress, will be charged with guiding Republicans on Capitol Hill for the final two years of President Obama’s presidency. Their success or failure could determine whether the GOP can take back the White House in 2016.
McConnell, 72, is taciturn and rarely cracks a smile. “Why don’t you get a life?” he joked to photographers trying to snap photos of him after he was unanimously chosen by his Senate GOP colleagues Thursday to serve as the new majority leader starting in January.
The article blathers on here, if you’ve the stomach to read it.
For some good news, Sullivan has been declared the winner in the Alaska Senate race. Begich continues to wallow in his fantasy and has not, as far as I know, conceded the race. No class. A common fault of democrats.
Sullivan brings up the number of GOP Senators to 53. The last race still to be determined is Cassidy vs. Landrieu in Louisiana. Landrieu is pushing the Keystone Pipeline bill in an attempt to gain votes but it doesn’t appears to have helped.
‘Her campaign is running on fumes’: Final Senate race looks to be a Louisiana laugher as internal polls show GOP’s Bill Cassidy opening up 16-point lead over Sen. Mary Landrieu
Poll commissioned by GOP candidate’s campaign shows massive advantage leading up to Dec. 6 runoff
Win by GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy would bring total Republican pickup to a whopping 10 seats
Landrieu is hoping a long-awaited vote on the Keystone XL pipeline will improve her fortunes
Poll was leaked in Washington to send a message to energy lobbyists who think she can prevail
Survey is an ‘automated’ phone poll that Landrieu’s campaign considers less credible than traditional surveys conducted by voice
‘Her campaign is running on fumes,’ the pollster told MailOnline
Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu is trailing her Republican challenger by a giant 16-point margin in a runoff for one of Louisiana’s two U.S. Senate seats, according to poll results obtained by MailOnline.
The survey, commissioned by GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy’s campaign, was leaked to media in order to fire a shot over the senator’s bow and send a signal to energy lobbyists that her ship is taking on water.
It suggests that Democrats’ worst fears have been realized even though Landrieu edged Cassidy by 1 percentage point on Election Day.
A second Republican candidate, Rob Maness, won 14 per cent of the vote on Nov. 4, enough to deny them both the 50-percent showing required to avoid a December 6 runoff.
Now Maness has endorsed Cassidy, helping him erase his 1-point deficit with Landrieu and adding far more.
Cassidy is ‘trying to shut K Street down for Mary’ by selectively releasing the polling data, a source close to his campaign in Louisiana told MailOnline.
‘The energy folks, the lobbyists, keep trying to say she has a chance to win. That’s why it was leaked.’
Landrieu has lined up for what Republican Capitol Hill aides are calling the ‘Hail Mary XL,’ a legislative strategy to save her Senate seat by winning a vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would bring 700,000 barrels of oil daily from the Canadian province of Alberta to the Gulf coast.
From the information I’ve been able to gather, Landrieu is toast. Cassidy will bring the total number of GOP Senators to 54. It would be nice if McConnell would use that number as leverage dealing with Obama and the democrats but my expectation for that is…nil.
One question I have…why do we see these breaking news stories in the UK Daily Mail instead of a US news outlet? Our country is in sad shape when we have to use foreign sources for news here in the US.
I wrote yesterday about the push to expand Missouri’s medicaid using the three-year funding promised as part of Obamacare. What the advocates for that expansion don’t bother to tell you is that the state would be responsible for the added ocsts after that third year. Why is Jackson County and Truman Medical Centers in such dire straits? Increased cost of medical care compounded by the cost of complying with federal regulations.
Those increased cost are having another negative medical impact—rural hospitals.
Rural hospitals in critical condition
Rural hospitals serve many of society’s most vulnerable.
Jayne O’Donnell and Laura Ungar, USA TODAY
RICHLAND, Ga. — Stewart-Webster Hospital had only 25 beds when it still treated patients. The rural hospital served this small town of 1,400 residents and those in the surrounding farms and crossroads for more than six decades.
But since the hospital closed in the spring of last year, many of those in need have to travel up to 40 miles to other hospitals. That’s roughly the same distance it takes to get from Times Square to Greenwich, Conn., or from the White House to Baltimore, or from downtown San Francisco to San Jose.
Those trips would be unthinkable for city residents, but it’s becoming a common way of life for many rural residents in this state, and across the nation.
Since the beginning of 2010, 43 rural hospitals — with a total of more than 1,500 beds — have closed, according to data from the North Carolina Rural Health Research Program. The pace of closures has quickened: from 3 in 2010 to 13 in 2013, and 12 already this year. Georgia alone has lost five rural hospitals since 2012, and at least six more are teetering on the brink of collapse. Each of the state’s closed hospitals served about 10,000 people — a lot for remaining area hospitals to absorb.
The Affordable Care Act was designed to improve access to health care for all Americans and will give them another chance at getting health insurance during open enrollment starting this Saturday. But critics say the ACA is also accelerating the demise of rural outposts that cater to many of society’s most vulnerable. These hospitals treat some of the sickest and poorest patients — those least aware of how to stay healthy. Hospital officials contend that the law’s penalties for having to re-admit patients soon after they’re released are impossible to avoid and create a crushing burden.
“The stand-alone, community hospital is going the way of the dinosaur,” says Angela Mattie, chairwoman of the health care management and organizational leadership department at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University, known for its public opinion surveys on issues including public health.
The closings threaten to decimate a network of rural hospitals the federal government first established beginning in the late 1940s to ensure that no one would be without health care. It was a theme that resonated during the push for the new health law. But rural hospital officials and others say that federal regulators — along with state governments — are now starving the hospitals they created with policies and reimbursement rates that make it nearly impossible for them to stay afloat.
“The stand-alone, community hospital is going the way of the dinosaur.”, Angela Mattie, Quinnipiac University
Low Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements hurt these hospitals more than others because it’s how most of their patients are insured, if they are at all. Here in Stewart County, it’s a problem that expanding Medicaid to all of the poorest patients -– which the ACA intended but 23 states including Georgia have not done, according to the federal government — would help, but wouldn’t solve.
“They set the whole rural system up for failure,” says Jimmy Lewis, CEO of Hometown Health, an association representing rural hospitals in Georgia and Alabama, believed to be the next state facing mass closures. “Through entitlements and a mandate to provide service without regard to condition, they got us to (the highest reimbursements), and now they’re pulling the rug out from under us.”
For many rural hospitals, partnering with big health systems is the only hope for survival. Some have resorted to begging large hospitals for mergers or at least money to help them pay their bills. But Douglas Leonard, president of the Indiana Hospital Association, said these days, “I’m not sure they can get anyone to answer the phone when they call.”
The article continues at the website. Obamacare does not just increase the cost of an individual’s medical care, it also reduces the reimbursement of those services to hospitals and physicians. In the end, we all suffer. The institutions with tighter cash flows are hit first and worse.

Missouri House Bill 1439, The Second Amendment Protection Act, passed in the Missouri Senate last night, April 30, 2014, on a vote of 23 to 8. It had passed the House earlier, on April 12, 2014, on a vote of 119 to 41.
According to an email issued by Ron Calzone, the Senate made some language changes that will require another vote in the House. He expects that vote to occur today. The changes are minor language clarifications that do not affect the purpose of the Bill.
HB 1439 “passed” in the House 110 to 41 on April 12th, now it has passed the Senate by a vote of 23 to 8. Both votes are enough to override a veto by the Governor.
A few minutes before 7:00 on Wednesday, the Missouri Senate voted 23 to 8 to “third read and pass” HB 1439, the Second Amendment Preservation Act.
Since the Senate made changes to the House version of the bill, the House has to vote on it one more time to accept those changes. If they don’t accept the changes, both the Senate and House will have to vote again.
The Senate made the changes we desired — we put teeth back in the bill and removed the troublesome controlled substances language.
Some other friendly amendments were added prior to taking the bill to the floor, and a couple of technical fixes were added on the floor. Although the changes were not part of the underlying Second Amendment Preservation Act, they are all germane to the bill title and good for gun rights.
The final language of HB 1439, as passed the Senate, will be available here: http://www.house.mo.gov/billsummary.aspx?bill=HB1439&year=2014&code=R in a day or two. Be sure to click on the link that says “Senate Sub”, not “Senate Comm Sub” to get the latest round of amendments.
The SAPA portion of the bill can also be viewed here: http://www.mofirst.org/?page=issues/nullification/SAPA/HB1439-Detailed.php
Hopefully, the House will take up HB 1439 as early as tomorrow and pass it without further amendments – then it can be sent to the Governor
We’ll have more new as it develops.
One more milestone passed on the road to full passage in Missouri. The vote totals are important. They show enough support in the Legislature to override Jay Nixon’s expected veto.
I’m glad a local State Representative won’t be running for office again. Why? Here’s why: He allowed a vote on, and voted for, Medicaid Expansion in Missouri, a requirement for the full implementation of Obamacare.
MEDICAID EXPANSION — ‘Medicaid bill wins symbolic vote, inches forward in Mo. House,’ Virginia Young: “In what Missouri House Insurance Committee Chairman Chris Molendorp acknowledged was a symbolic move, a Medicaid expansion measure gained its first committee endorsement of the year today. Molendorp, R-Belton, and the four Democrats on his committee combined to recommend a wide-ranging bill that would expand the public health insurance system to about 300,000 low-income adults. The vote was 5-2, with five Republicans absent. … The 121-page proposal adopted by the committee is modeled on a plan developed by Sen. Ryan Silvey, R-Kansas City. It attempts to address GOP opposition to Medicaid expansion by requiring a host of changes, such as photo IDs for food stamp recipients and more transparent billing practices for hospitals. But with only 11 days left in the legislative session and GOP leaders opposed to the bill, it’s unlikely to go any further. Molendorp acknowledged as much after the committee vote. — PoliticMo Email, May 1, 2014.
Molendorp says the passage was symbolic. The truth of the matter is that the proposal should have never reached this point. Missouri can’t afford Medicaid Expansion. The Feds will provide funds for three years. After that, the ENTIRE cost burden would fall on the state. We can’t afford such gross unfunded mandates.
Impeachment efforts against Governor Jay Nixon reached another milestone yesterday with the completion of public comments in the Missouri House Judiciary Committee. The Committee Chairman, Representative Stanley Cox (R-Sedalia), said he would poll committee members to see if they wanted to vote and move forward.
IMPEACH NIXON? — ‘Mo. House committee considering vote on impeaching Nixon,’ PoliticMo: “The Missouri House Judiciary Committee heard final testimony on Wednesday in favor of resolutions moving to impeach Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon. Rep. Stanley Cox, a Sedalia Republican who chairs the committee, said he will now begin meeting with committee members to consider whether to send the resolutions on to the full House. “I’m going to see if there is a majority of the committee that wants to vote,” Cox said. “I haven’t decided how I’m going to vote. I’m going to talk to the other committee and see how they’re going to be.
“The two days of hearings, which began last week, were to hear three Republican-backed resolutions against Nixon. One, sponsored by Rep. Nick Marshall, alleges Nixon violated the Missouri Constitution’s provision banning same-sex marriage in issuing an executive order allowing the Missouri Department of Revenue to accept tax returns from same-sex couples filing jointly with the federal government. It was heard last week. The second, filed by Rep. Mike Moon, was critical of delayed calls for special elections in three vacant House seats. The third, by Rep. Rick Brattin, accused the Nixon administration of releasing private conceal-carry weapons permit source documents to federal authorities. They were heard by the committee on Wednesday. As they did last week, several committee members, including a handful of Republicans, expressed concerns that any legal issue with action from the governor might be better handled in the judicial system. Moon said impeachment hearings are by definition political and should be seen as a constitutional check on the executive branch. …
“Brattin faced perhaps the most critical reception from the committee. He alleges Nixon’s administration violated privacy concerns in releasing data to the federal government in response to subpoenas, but did not state any specific crime Nixon had committed himself. Instead, Brattin accused Nixon of turning his attention away from the issue and allowing his administration to break the state law banning implementation of REAL ID. But Nixon did act, and let his director of the Department of Revenue go (he resigned at the height of the controversy last year). Rep. Chris Kelly, D-Columbia, noted that the court and the state auditor had sided with Nixon on the controversy in noting that he did not break any laws. In other words, two branches of government have sided with Nixon.” http://bit.ly/1fzoDP3 — PoliticMO Newsletter, May 1, 2014
While this might not be a milestone, it is revealing about the character of John Boehner. The writer of the article below agrees with my statements that I have written over the last few years.
Is John Boehner Stupid, Bought, or Playing for Other Side?
Apr. 30, 2014 10:00am , Wayne Root
Something is wrong with the most powerful Republican in the United States Congress. He is either stupid, bought and paid for by crony corporate interests, or he’s on the other side (a Democrat posing as a Republican). Because nothing else explains the news that the GOP intends to pass immigration reform (i.e. amnesty) this year.
You might be wondering how I know it’s “amnesty?” Because to pass it through Harry Reid’s Senate and to avoid a veto from President Barack Obama, it must include some form of amnesty for illegal immigrants (i.e. future Democratic voters). Nothing could ever pass Harry Reid’s Senate that doesn’t include some form of amnesty, allowing Democrats to wear the crown of conquering heroes to the Latino community and therefore garner more votes for Team Obama in November.
Democrats are about to be crushed. They are drowning. They are desperate to shuffle the deck. Why would any sane GOP leader throw them a life preserver?
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer – the ultimate liberal – is winking and nodding on Sunday morning TV shows like it’s a done deal.
Do you think he’s winking because he’s just agreed in the backroom to a deal that hurts Democratic voters? Do you think the president that has, for all intents and purposes halted deportations, would agree to any bill that sells illegal immigrants down the river? If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you in…Mexico.
Now let’s examine why even discussing (let alone passing) any immigration bill is self-destructive, stupid and political suicide for Republicans.
First, Democrats are on the run. They are about to be destroyed in November. Every poll shows it. Every bit of common sense tells the same story. Every conversation with average middle class Americans proves it. Obamacare has ruined Obama and the Democratic Party. The latest poll shows Obama at 41 percent approval.
There are literally no voters left to support Obama who aren’t being bribed with a government check. Just as I reported earlier this year, Obama’s support among the actual taxpayers, business owners and homeowners of America is darn close to zero.
Knowing this, why would the leader of Congressional Republicans want to change the conversation? Why would he want to let Obama off the hook? Why would he discuss anything but Obamacare for the next six months? Doesn’t Boehner want to win? When you’ve got the opposition on the run, why would you lift your boot off their neck? Makes me wonder which team he’s playing for. What about you?
Why wouldn’t any sane GOP leader keep talking Obamacare 24/7 for six months in a row, until the clock runs out? Millions have lost their coverage; millions more have had premiums raised; millions have lost their doctors; everyone that can think is steaming mad.
The vast majority of people who got free insurance from Obamacare are virtually 100 percent government-addicted, welfare-loving, food stamp-loving, dependent Democratic voters. Obama hasn’t picked up one vote. But he’s gotten millions of independents mad as a hornet’s nest.
To change the conversation now would be dereliction of duty. If this were the military, Gen. Boehner would be relieved of his command and brought up on criminal charges. He is harming his own troops. He is purposely losing the war. He is pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. Who does that?
Secondly, my grandfather taught me about how to treat your loyal customers. He was a successful small business owner. He always said the key to success was “the customer is always right.”
Why would Boehner poke a stick in the eyes of his best customers? Why would he mock conservatives? Why would he turnoff his loyal conservative base now, on the precipice of a landslide in November? It defies logic.
Third and most importantly, if everyone “in the know” believes the GOP is on the verge of a massive landslide victory (and they are), why would you even think of negotiating an immigration reform bill now?
Think about it. Now it’s a lose/lose. Obama and Reid hold all the cards. But starting in January 2015, with a GOP Senate and House, with Obama an embarrassed, emasculated lame duck, the GOP would hold all the cards.
What Republican leader would be dumb enough to pass the bill now? Wait until 2015 and instead of begging for crumbs, the GOP is dictating the terms of Obama’s surrender. What sane leader would trade a win/win for a lose/lose scenario?
Into this situation steps Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), leader of the party that practices shooting itself in the foot. Boehner is theoretically on our side, yet he wants to let Democrats off the hook for Obamacare, change the conversation to something divisive and controversial, demoralize and anger his own best customers, hand a moral victory to Obama, inspire the Democrats’ core voters, and negotiate from the worst possible position, instead of waiting just a few months to negotiate from the best possible position.
Does any of this make sense to you? So I ask you…
Is John Boehner stupid, bought and paid for, or on the other side? He’s either not thinking clearly, or he’s not on our side. No matter your answer, it’s now clear Boehner has to go.
Normally, I take anything from The Blaze with a large dose of salt. All too often, Beck and his crew have their tin-foil hats on too tight. But…this time they agree with me and say the same, paraphrased, as have I. As the adage goes, the quality of an article is directly proportional to the degree it agrees with you.

The bigger concern today is that Americans have reached a point where ignorance — at least regarding what is generally considered established knowledge in public policy The bigger concern today is that Americans have reached a point where ignorance — is seen as an actual virtue. To reject the advice of experts is to assert autonomy, a way for Americans to demonstrate their independence from nefarious elites — and insulate their increasingly fragile egos from ever being told they're wrong.

The Calm Before the Storms by Sarah Scoles, Science, May 31, 2019
Most worrisome is the prospect of a major solar storm, such as the Carrington Event of 1859. During that storm, the sun ejected billions of tons of charged particles, causing aurorae as far south as the Caribbean and generating currents in telegraph lines powerful enough to shock operators. Today, the effect of such an event on computers and communications would be dire. Financial transaction systems could collapse. Power and water could easily go out. 'It probably would be The Hunger Games pretty soon,' McIntosh says.

Cyber War as an Intelligence Contest by Joshua Rovner, War on the Rocks, September 16, 2019
An intelligence contest has five elements. First, it is a race among adversaries to collect more and better information. Second, it is a race to exploit that information to improve one's relative position. Third, it is a reciprocal effort to covertly undermine adversary morale, institutions, and alliances. Fourth, it is a contest to disable adversary capabilities through sabotage. Fifth, it is a campaign to preposition assets for intelligence collection in the event of a conflict. Note that none of these elements are directly related to military posturing or war, and only the last one hints at the prospect of combat. Instead, an intelligence contest is a part of an open-ended competition among rival states.
In this 4:20 video David Sanger of the New York Times gives his assessment of the risks associated with the cyber conflict. This video is cited in this January 8, 2020 article.

What is microsegmentation? How getting granular improves network security by Ann Bednarz, Network World, January 30, 2018
Microsegmentation is a way to create secure zones in data centers and cloud deployments that allow you to isolate workloads and protect them individually. ... Microsegmentation gives companies greater control over the growing amount of east-west or lateral communication that occurs between servers, bypassing perimeter-focused security tools. If breaches occur, microsegmentation limits potential lateral exploration of networks by hackers. ... Microsegmentation is typically done in software, which makes it easier to define fine-grained segments. And with microsegmentation, IT can work to centralize network segmentation policy and reduce the number of firewall rules needed.

But despite its efficiency, open source development could also pose serious cybersecurity issues." Fixing bugs in software that contains open source components is very challenging primarily because software engineers generalely do not retain, what is called, a "software bill of materials (SBoM)." Good cybersecurity policy argues for retention of a SBoM for each application.

"U.S. Cyber Command ... has evolved from a 'response force' to a 'persistence force' ... A persistence force has a much higher chance of disrupting adversary plots and protecting Americans, compared with a force that is confined to sporadic reconnaissance. ... Activities and operations in, through, and from cyberspace now offer states the means to augment their power, degrade or usurp the power of others, and gain strategic advantage through competition without triggering armed conflict ... We must 'defend forward' in cyberspace, as we do in the physical domains. ... Strategic effects in cyberspace come from the use — not the mere possession — of cyber capabilities to gain the initiative over those who mean us harm. ... Its purpose is to limit the terrain over which the enemy can gain influence or control. We cannot afford to let adversaries breach our networks, systems, and data (intellectual property and personally identifiable information)."

The Dictator's Last Stand: Why the Autocrats Are Weaker Than They Look by Yascha Mounk, Foreign Affairs, September/October 2019
It has been a good decade for dictatorship ... [and] a terrible decade for democracy. ...
In 2014, I suggested in these pages that a rising tide of populist parties and candidates could inflict serious damage on democratic institutions. At the time, my argument was widely contested. ... Today, that old consensus is dead. ... The controversial argument I made five years ago has become the conventional wisdom. But this new consensus is now in danger of hardening into an equally misguided orthodoxy. ... [T]his narrative overlooks a crucial factor: the legitimacy of populist dictators depends on their ability to maintain the illusion that they speak for 'the people.' And the more power these leaders concentrate in their own hands, the less plausible that pretense appears. ...
Recently, a series of writers have suggested that the rise of digital technology will skew this competition in favor of popular discontent. ... This argument, however, fails to take into account the differences in how dictatorships and democracies wield power. Whereas dictatorships are capable of using all the resources of a modern state to quash a popular insurgency, democracies are committed to fighting their opponents with one hand tied behind their back. ... This imbalance raises the prospect of a dark future in which digital technology allows extremist networks to vanquish moderate hierarchies. ... It is too early to conclude that the populist dictatorships that have arisen in many parts of the world in recent years will be able to sustain themselves in power forever. ...
And so the best way to fight demagogues with authoritarian ambitions remains what it has always been: to defeat them at the ballot box before they ever step foot in the halls of power.

Techno-Nationalism vs. the Fourth Industrial Revolution by Robert A. Manning, GlobalAsia, March 28, 2019
There is a clear global trend toward techno-nationalism (as opposed to techno-globalism), a set of industrial policies aimed at self-sufficiency, cultivating 'national champions' in tech sectors while curbing foreign competition just as a new era of advanced technology is unfolding.
The technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, namely, big data, machine learning, robotics, autonomous vehicles, biotech, additive manufacturing, quantum computing, 5G wireless, and others, are driving disruptive growth. Beijing's Made in China 2025 plan and recent US trade and investment policies threaten to turn nations toward autarchy.
We are at a pivotal moment not only for sustaining the world economic order, but for updating it, because there is a large deficit of rules/norms/standards for the suite of emerging technologies ... that will drive economic growth in the 2020s and 2030s.

NSTAC Report to the President on a Cybersecurity Moonshot, November 14, 2018
The United States is at an inflection point: simultaneously faced with a progressively worsening cybersecurity threat environment and an ever-increasing dependence on Internet technologies fundamental to public safety, economic prosperity, and overall way of life. Our national security is now inexorably linked to cybersecurity. Therefore, the Nation must build on past efforts and current strategies to seize the opportunity to strategically reorient from a largely reactive, incremental cybersecurity posture to a proactive approach that boldly assures digital trust, safety, and resilience for all Americans. Achieving this audacious outcome will require strong national leadership, political will, and a sustained whole-of-nation investment over an extended period. The U.S. Government can take immediate actions that lay the foundation for this long-term shared cybersecurity vision for the Nation, while simultaneously yielding near-term benefits that ensure continued technological global leadership.

"The security and wellbeing of the United States are at greater risk than at any time in decades. America's military superiority — the hard-power backbone of its global influence and national security — has eroded to a dangerous degree. Rivals and adversaries are challenging the United States on many fronts and in many domains. America's ability to defend its allies, its partners, and its own vital interests is increasingly in doubt. If the nation does not act promptly to remedy these circumstances, the consequences will be grave and lasting."

Artificial Intelligence — The Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet by Michael Jordan, Medium, April 19, 2018
"[We] do have a major challenge on our hands in bringing together computers and humans in ways that enhance human life. ... One could argue that an AI system would not only imitate human intelligence, but also "correct" it, and would also scale to arbitrarily large problems."
"[The} scope ... [should be] more about the need for humans to understand and shape technology as it becomes ever more present and influential in their daily lives. Moreover, ... there is a need for a diverse set of voices from all walks of life, not merely a dialog among the technologically attuned. Focusing narrowly on human-imitative AI prevents an appropriately wide range of voices from being heard."
"And, unfortunately, we are not very good at anticipating what the next emerging serious flaw will be. What we're missing is an engineering discipline with its principles of analysis and design."

In neural nets the number of levels and nodes at each level determine their effectiveness in classifying images.

This means that if a neural net has too few neurons, it will not be able to properly classify a training set. (See this paper.)

Rob Joyce — NSA Talks Cybersecurity, DEFCON 26, August 2018
The National Security Agency (NSA) has authorities for both foreign intelligence and cyber security. This unique position gives NSA insights into the ways networks are exploited and the methods that are effective in defending against threats. Over time, NSA has adapted the focus of its security efforts and continues to evolve with technologies and the adversaries we face. The talk will look back at some of the inflection points that have influenced NSA and US Government cybersecurity efforts and look at what is necessary to stay safe in the new environment.

The Fragmentation of Truth by Dana Boyd, Data Society, February 23, 2019
This is the written version of a talk Dana gave at Knight Media Forum on February 23, 2019 in which she explores the unintended consequences of new social media including the impact it is having on society, notably the circulation and acceptance of misinformation as truth. She appeals to the technical innovators and leaders of society. Quotes from her talk follow.
Misinformation is not a new problem. Nor is the exploitation of the media ecosystem. Whenever a new medium gains power, there are people who will exploit it for personal or organizational gain, whether for profit, ideology, or politics. ... I would love for us to get better at building the structures and processes to proactively think about how things might go wrong ... in order to make them better.
[T]he differences between how people build knowledge about the world are fracturing the very social fabric of our country. ... The thing about tech is that it fundamentally focuses on abstraction. ... When you think in terms of abstraction, you lose all the local value, all of the structure there. ... The more everything becomes abstracted and generalized, the more fragmented society will get[.]
Many of us who built social media imagined that we would do it just by creating the networks. We were wrong. This won't be done by social media. Or by better information. It will only be done when communities focus on building programs and projects that bring people together.

'The Key Problem of Our Time': A Conversation with Henry Kissinger on Sino-U.S. Relations, Wilson Center, September 13, 2018
"When I became National Security Advisor, I became conscious, of course, of our war plans, and I realized that the consequences of a war were monumental. And, therefore, in a way, we were driven to discuss these implications. Now we are many steps ahead of that. The danger is much greater. The complexity of the weapons is not even fully understood. So that discussion always has to take place, so that we don't drift by miscommunication or accident.
But I want to leave you all with the conviction that I think this is solvable, and I do not think it is inevitable, and I think it should be achieved without war. Those are the basic principles."
The author suggests that China may be seeking to emulate the US vis-a-vis Britain and use Huawei's strategic advantage in 5G to challenge US hegemony.

[T]he party's increasingly repressive actions inside China, such as the crackdown in the Xinjiang region and the growing use of surveillance technology, 'reflect heightened fear and insecurity, not a self-confident China aspiring to enhanced leadership in global and regional affairs,' Jonathan D. Pollack and Jeffrey A. Bader of the Brookings Institution wrote in a recent paper. ... As the trade negotiations rumble on, more people in China are subscribing to the view that the dispute is about geopolitics rather than economics, scholars say. That it's all about keeping China down.

But Western concerns about what could happen with China's Social Credit System have in some ways outstripped discussions about what's already really occurring. ... [T]he science fiction myths about China's social credit score continue to endure in the West. ... Chinese legal researchers are worried about one of these databases in particular: The Supreme People's Court maintains a blacklist of people who the government alleges did not comply with court judgments, for example by not paying fines, but also things like failing to formally apologize to someone they are found to have wronged. Being on the blacklist now comes with harsh punishments. You might be unable to purchase high-speed train tickets, fly on an airplane, or send your kids to a private school."

In the US, military analysts are often concerned "that alarms or early warning systems ... could produce false positives. ... [However,] Chinese analysts ... are much more concerned with false negatives," that is, "failures by China's early warning systems to detect a real attack". As a consequence, "Beijing's integration of AI and autonomy into its military systems is likely to increase. ... Officials in Beijing and Moscow have responded strongly and negatively to the 2018 US Nuclear Posture Review."

Putin the Great: Russia's Imperial Impostor by Susan Glasser, Foreign Affairs, September/October 2019
There are many reasons why the West misunderestimated Putin, as Bush might have put it, but one stands out with the clarity of hindsight: Westerners simply had no framework for a world in which autocracy, not democracy, would be on the rise, for a post–Cold War geopolotics in which revisionist powers such as Russia and China would compete on more equal terms again with the United States.

Cuba’s Habanos SA Inks Agreement To Expand Cigar Sales In China
August 10, 2017 August 10, 2017 by Cuba Journal
According to Xinhua, China National Tobacco Corporation and Cuba’s cigar maker Habanos S.A. signed a letter of intent at the end of July to increase Cuba’s cigar exports to China.
China National Tobacco Corporation General Manager Ling Chengxing and co-presidents of Habanos S.A., Inocente Nunez and Luis Sanchez-Harguindey, signed the document in Havana.
According to the agreement, Habanos S.A. can provide assistance to cigar production in China while expanding its cigar sales in the Asian market.
Earlier this year, Cuba announced a tobacco crop surge that will likely propel cigar production later this year.
RELATED: Cuba Journal’s 2017 Cuban Cigar of the Year
“With the support of the Cuban side and the Chinese side, and the Chinese and Cuban people, I am sure that Cuban tobacco is going to do very well in China,” said Ling, who is also the director-general of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, the regulator of China’s tobacco industry.
Cuba, the maker of some of the world’s finest cigars, has a substantial share of cigar and cigarette sales in China, accounting for more than half of sales by volume and some 70 percent of sales by revenue.
Habanos SA, is a joint venture between state-owned Cubatabaco and Altadis, and the French-German affiliate of British multinational firm Imperial Tobacco.
Cuba’s once dominant position in the world’s cigar market (rolled tobacco) diminished in 1962 when the U.S. embargo restricted Cuban imports. Excluded from the single largest cigar market in the world, regional players stepped in to fill the gap left by Cuba’s exclusion. Cuba’s reputation remained in tack (with the exception of a few off years), but its dominance in terms of volume has never recovered.
In February 1992, Wine Spectator magazine published an in-depth cover story, “The Allure of Cuban Cigars.” The strong positive reaction prompted the publisher to launch a cigar-themed magazine, Cigar Aficionado, later in the same year.
The backdrop of the magazine’s launch was a boom in U.S. cigar consumption. Beginning in 1992, imports and sales of premium cigars began to rise dramatically and manufacturers struggled to keep up with demand, leading to industry-wide shortages of raw materials and finished products.
Victor Taveras, director of the National Tobacco Institute (Intabaco), recently announced that the Dominican Republic is the world leader in hand-rolled cigar exports. Cigar exports from the Dominican Republic topped $600 million dollars in 2013. In fact, eleven of the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 Cigars of 2013 were made in the Dominican Republic.

CUTTING FROM "THE DAILYGRAPH," 8 AUGUST
(PASTED IN MINA MURRAY'S JOURNAL)
From a correspondent.
Whitby.
One of the greatest and suddenest storms on record has just been experienced here, with results both strange and unique. The weather had been somewhat sultry, but not to any degree uncommon in the month of August. Saturday evening was as fine as was ever known, and the great body of holiday-makers laid out yesterday for visits to Mulgrave Woods, Robin Hood's Bay, Rig Mill, Runswick, Staithes, and the various trips in the neighborhood of Whitby. The steamers Emma and Scarborough made trips up and down the coast, and there was an unusual amount of `tripping' both to and from Whitby. The day was unusually fine till the afternoon, when some of the gossips who frequent the East Cliff churchyard, and from the commanding eminence watch the wide sweep of sea visible to the north and east, called attention to a sudden show of `mares tails' high in the sky to the northwest. The wind was then blowing from the south-west in the mild degree which in barometrical language is ranked `No. 2, light breeze.'
The coastguard on duty at once made report, and one old fisherman, who for more than half a century has kept watch on weather signs from the East Cliff, foretold in an emphatic manner the coming of a sudden storm. The approach of sunset was so very beautiful, so grand in its masses of splendidly coloured clouds, that there was quite an assemblage on the walk along the cliff in the old churchyard to enjoy the beauty. Before the sun dipped below the black mass of Kettleness, standing boldly athwart the western sky, its downward was was marked by myriad clouds of every sunset colour, flame, purple, pink, green, violet, and all the tints of gold, with here and there masses not large, but of seemingly absolute blackness, in all sorts of shapes, as well outlined as colossal silhouettes. The experience was not lost on the painters, and doubtless some of the sketches of the `Prelude to the Great Storm' will grace the R. A and R. I. walls in May next.
More than one captain made up his mind then and there that his `cobble' or his `mule', as they term the different classes of boats, would remain in the harbour till the storm had passed. The wind fell away entirely during the evening, and at midnight there was a dead calm, a sultry heat, and that prevailing intensity which, on the approach of thunder, affects persons of a sensitive nature.
There were but few lights in sight at sea, for even the coasting steamers, which usually hug the shore so closely, kept well to seaward,and but few fishing boats were in sight. The only sail noticeable was a foreign schooner with all sails set, which was seemingly going westwards. The foolhardiness or ignorance of her officers was a prolific theme for comment whilst she remained in sight, and efforts were made to signal her to reduce sail in the face of her danger. Before the night shut down she was seen with sails idly flapping as she gently rolled on the undulating swell of the sea.
"As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean."
Shortly before ten o'clock the stillness of the air grew quite oppressive,and the silence was so marked that the bleating of a sheep inland or the barking of a dog in the town was distinctly heard, and the band on the pier, with its lively French air, was like a dischord in the great harmony of nature's silence. A little after midnight came a strange sound from over the sea, and high overhead the air began to carry a strange, faint, hollow booming.
Then without warning the tempest broke. With a rapidity which, at the time, seemed incredible,and even afterwards is impossible to realize, the whole aspect of nature at once became convulsed. The waves rose in growing fury, each over-topping its fellow, till in a very few minutes the lately glassy sea was like a roaring and devouring monster. White-crested waves beat madly on the level sands and rushed up the shelving cliffs. Others broke over the piers, and with their spume swept the lanthorns of the lighthouses which rise from the end of either pier of Whitby Harbour.
The wind roared like thunder, and blew with such force that it was with difficulty that even strong men kept their feet, or clung with grim clasp to the iron stanchions. It was found necessary to clear the entire pier from the mass of onlookers, or else the fatalities of the night would have increased manifold. To add to the difficulties and dangers of the time, masses of sea-fog came drifting inland. White, wet clouds, which swept by in ghostly fashion, so dank and damp and cold that it needed but little effort of imagination to think that the spirits of those lost at sea were touching their living brethren with the clammy hands of death, and many a one shuddered at the wreaths of sea-mist swept by.
At times the mist cleared, and the sea for some distance could be seen in the glare of the lightning, which came thick and fast, followed by such peals of thunder that the whole sky overhead seemed trembling under the shock of the footsteps of the storm.
Some of the scenes thus revealed were of immeasurable grandeur and of absorbing interest. The sea, running mountains high, threw skywards with each wave mighty masses of white foam, which the tempest seemed to snatch at and whirl away into space. Here and there a fishing boat, with a rag of sail, running madly for shelter before the blast, now and again the white wings of a storm-tossed seabird. On the summit of the East Cliff the new searchlight was ready for experiment, but had not yet been tried. The officers in charge of it got it into working order, and in the pauses of onrushing mist swept with it the surface of the sea. Once or twice its service was most effective, as when a fishing boat, with gunwale under water, rushed into the harbour, able, by the guidance of the sheltering light, to avoid the danger of dashing against the piers. As each boat achieved the safety of the port there was a shout of joy from the mass of people on the shore,a shout which for a moment seemed to cleave the gale and was then swept away in its rush.
Before long the searchlight discovered some distance away a schooner with all sails set, apparently the same vessel which had been noticed earlier in the evening. The wind had by this time backed to the east, and there was a shudder amongst the watchers on the cliff as they realized the terrible danger in which she now was.
Between her and the port lay the great flat reef on which so many good ships have from time to time suffered, and, with the wind blowing from its present quarter, it would be quite impossible that she should fetch the entrance of the harbour.
It was now nearly the hour of high tide, but the waves were so great that in their troughs the shallows of the shore were almost visible, and the schooner, with all sails set, was rushing with such speed that, in the words of one old salt, "she must fetch up somewhere, if it was only in hell". Then came another rush of sea-fog, greater than any hitherto, a mass of dank mist, which seemed to close on all things like a gray pall, and left available to men only the organ of hearing, for the roar of the tempest, and the crash of the thunder, and the booming of the mighty billows came through the damp oblivion even louder than before. The rays of the searchlight were kept fixed on the harbour mouth across the East Pier, where the shock was expected, and men waited breathless.
The wind suddenly shifted to the northeast, and the remnant of the sea fog melted in the blast. And then, mirabile dictu, between the piers, leaping from wave to wave as it rushed at headlong speed, swept the strange schooner before the blast, with all sail set, and gained the safety of the harbour. The searchlight followed her, and a shudder ran through all who saw her, for lashed to the helm was a corpse, with drooping head, which swung horribly to and fro at each motion of the ship. No other form could be seen on the deck at all.
A great awe came on all as they realised that the ship, as if by a miracle, had found the harbour, unsteered save by the hand of a dead man! However, all took place more quickly than it takes to write these words. The schooner paused not, but rushing across the harbour, pitched herself on that accumulation of sand and gravel washed by many tides and many storms into the southeast corner of the pier jutting under the East Cliff, known locally as Tate Hill Pier.
There was of course a considerable concussion as the vessel drove up on the sand heap. Every spar, rope, and stay was strained,and some of the `top-hammer' came crashing down. But, strangest of all, the very instant the shore was touched, an immense dog sprang up on deck from below,as if shot up by the concussion, and running forward, jumped from the bow on the sand.
Making straight for the steep cliff, where the churchyard hangs over the laneway to the East Pier so steeply that some of the flat tombstones, thruffsteans or through-stones, as they call them in Whitby vernacular, actually project over where the sustaining cliff has fallen away, it disappeared in the darkness, which seemed intensified just beyond the focus of the searchlight.
It so happened that there was no one at the moment on Tate Hill Pier, as all those whose houses are in close proximity were either in bed or were out on the heights above. Thus the coastguard on duty on the eastern side of the harbour, who at once ran down to the little pier, was the first to climb aboard. The men working the searchlight, after scouring the entrance of the harbour without seeing anything, then turned the light on the derelict and kept it there. The coastguard ran aft, and when he came beside the wheel, bent over to examine it,and recoiled at once as though under some sudden emotion. This seemed to pique general curiosity, and quite a number of people began to run.
It is a good way round from the West Cliff by the Draw-bridge to Tate Hill Pier, but your correspondent is a fairly good runner, and came well ahead of the crowd. When I arrived, however, I found already assembled on the pier a crowd, whom the coastguard and police refused to allow to come on board. By the courtesy of the chief boatman, I was, as your correspondent, permitted to climb on deck, and was one of a small group who saw the dead seaman whilst actually lashed to the wheel.
It was no wonder that the coastguard was surprised, or even awed, for not often can such a sight have been seen. The man was simply fastened by his hands, tied one over the other, to a spoke of the wheel. Between the inner hand and the wood was a crucifix, the set of beads on which it was fastened being around both wrists and wheel, and all kept fast by the binding cords. The poor fellow may have been seated at one time, but the flapping and buffeting of the sails had worked through the rudder of the wheel and had dragged him to and fro, so that the cords with which he was tied had cut the flesh to the bone.
Accurate note was made of the state of things, and a doctor, Surgeon J. M. Caffyn, of 33, East Elliot Place, who came immediately after me, declared, after making examination, that the man must have been dead for quite two days.
In his pocket was a bottle, carefully corked, empty save for a little roll of paper, which proved to be the addendum to the log.
The coastguard said the man must have tied up his own hands, fastening the knots with his teeth. The fact that a coastguard was the first on board may save some complications later on, in the Admiralty Court, for coastguards cannot claim the salvage which is the right of the first civilian entering on a derelict. Already, however, the legal tongues are wagging, and one young law student is loudly asserting that the rights of the owner are already completely sacrificed, his property being held in contravention of the statues of mortmain, since the tiller, as emblemship, if not proof, of delegated possession, is held in a dead hand.
It is needless to say that the dead steersman has been reverently removed from the place where he held his honourable watch and ward till death, a steadfastness as noble as that of the young Casabianca, and placed in the mortuary to await inquest.
Already the sudden storm is passing,and its fierceness is abating. Crowds are scattering backward, and the sky is beginning to redden over the Yorkshire wolds.
I shall send, in time for your next issue, further details of the derelict ship which found her way so miraculously into harbour in the storm.
9 August.--The sequel to the strange arrival of the derelict in the storm last night is almost more startling than the thing itself. It turns out that the schooner is Russian from Varna, and is called the Demeter. She is almost entirely in ballast of silver sand, with only a small amount of cargo, a number of great wooden boxes filled with mould.
This cargo was consigned to a Whitby solicitor, Mr. S.F. Billington, of 7, The Crescent, who this morning went aboard and took formal possession of the goods consigned to him.
The Russian consul, too, acting for the charter-party, took formal possession of the ship, and paid all harbour dues, etc.
Nothing is talked about here today except the strange coincidence. The officials of the Board of Trade have been most exacting in seeing that every compliance has been made with existing regulations. As the matter is to be a `nine days wonder', they are evidently determined that there shall be no cause of other complaint.
A good deal of interest was abroad concerning the dog which landed when the ship struck, and more than a few of the members of the S.P.C.A., which is very strong in Whitby, have tried to befriend the animal. To the general disappointment, however, it was not to be found. It seems to have disappeared entirely from the town. It may be that it was frightened and made its way on to the moors, where it is still hiding in terror.
There are some who look with dread on such a possibility, lest later on it should in itself become a danger, for it is evidently a fierce brute. Early this morning a large dog, a half-bred mastiff belonging to a coal merchant close to Tate Hill Pier, was found dead in the roadway opposite its master's yard. It had been fighting, and manifestly had had a savage opponent, for its throat was torn away, and its belly was slit open as if with a savage claw.
Later.--By the kindness of the Board of Trade inspector, I have been permitted to look over the log book of the Demeter, which was in order up to within three days, but contained nothing of special interest except as to facts of missing men. The greatest interest, however, is with regard to the paper found in the bottle, which was today produced at the inquest. And a more strange narrative than the two between them unfold it has not been my lot to come across.
As there is no motive for concealment, I am permitted to use them, and accordingly send you a transcript, simply omitting technical details of seamanship and supercargo. It almost seems as though the captain had been seized with some kind of mania before he had got well into blue water, and that this had developed persistently throughout the voyage. Of course my statement must be taken cum grano, since I am writing from the dictation of a clerk of the Russian consul, who kindly translated for me, time being short.
LOG OF THE "DEMETER" Varna to Whitby
Written 18 July, things so strange happening, that I shall keep accurate note henceforth till we land.
On 6 July we finished taking in cargo, silver sand and boxes of earth. At noon set sail. East wind, fresh. Crew, five hands. . .two mates, cook, and myself, (captain).
On 11 July at dawn entered Bosphorus. Boarded by Turkish Customs officers. Backsheesh. All correct. Under way at 4 p. m.
On 12 July through Dardanelles. More Customs officers and flagboat of guarding squadron. Backsheesh again. Work of officers thorough, but quick. Want us off soon. At dark passed into Archipelago.
On 13 July passed Cape Matapan. Crew dissatisfied about something. Seemed scared, but would not speak out.
On 14 July was somewhat anxious about crew. Men all steady fellows, who sailed with me before. Mate could not make out what was wrong. They only told him there was SOMETHING, and crossed themselves. Mate lost temper with one of them that day and struck him. Expected fierce quarrel, but all was quiet.
On 16 July mate reported in the morning that one of the crew, Petrofsky, was missing. Could not account for it. Took larboard watch eight bells last night, was relieved by Amramoff, but did not go to bunk. Men more downcast than ever. All said they expected something of the kind, but would not say more than there was SOMETHING aboard. Mate getting very impatient with them. Feared some trouble ahead.
On 17 July, yesterday, one of the men, Olgaren, came to my cabin, and in an awestruck way confided to me that he thought there was a strange man aboard the ship. He said that in his watch he had been sheltering behind the deckhouse, as there was a rain storm, when he saw a tall, thin man, who was not like any of the crew, come up the companionway, and go along the deck forward and disappear. He followed cautiously, but when he got to bows found no one, and the hatchways were all closed. He was in a panic of superstitious fear, and I am afraid the panic may spread. To allay it, I shall today search the entire ship carefully from stem to stern.
Later in the day I got together the whole crew, and told them, as they evidently thought there was some one in the ship, we would search from stem to stern. First mate angry, said it was folly, and to yield to such foolish ideas would demoralise the men, said he would engage to keep them out of trouble with the handspike. I let him take the helm, while the rest began a thorough search, all keeping abreast, with lanterns. We left no corner unsearched. As there were only the big wooden boxes, there were no odd corners where a man could hide. Men much relieved when search over, and went back to work cheerfully. First mate scowled, but said nothing.
22 July.--Rough weather last three days, and all hands busy with sails, no time to be frightened. Men seem to have forgotten their dread. Mate cheerful again, and all on good terms. Praised men for work in bad weather. Passed Gibraltar and out through Straits. All well.
24 July.--There seems some doom over this ship. Already a hand short, and entering the Bay of Biscay with wild weather ahead, and yet last night another man lost, disappeared. Like the first, he came off his watch and was not seen again. Men all in a panic of fear, sent a round robin, asking to have double watch, as they fear to be alone. Mate angry. Fear there will be some trouble, as either he or the men will do some violence.
28 July.--Four days in hell, knocking about in a sort of malestrom, and the wind a tempest. No sleep for any one. Men all worn out. Hardly know how to set a watch, since no one fit to go on. Second mate volunteered to steer and watch, and let men snatch a few hours sleep. Wind abating, seas still terrific, but feel them less, as ship is steadier.
29 July.--Another tragedy. Had single watch tonight, as crew too tired to double. When morning watch came on deck could find no one except steersman. Raised outcry, and all came on deck. Thorough search, but no one found. Are now without second mate, and crew in a panic. Mate and I agreed to go armed henceforth and wait for any sign of cause.
30 July.--Last night. Rejoiced we are nearing England. Weather fine, all sails set. Retired worn out, slept soundly, awakened by mate telling me that both man of watch and steersman missing. Only self and mate and two hands left to work ship.
1 August.--Two days of fog, and not a sail sighted. Had hoped when in the English Channel to be able to signal for help or get in somewhere. Not having power to work sails, have to run before wind. Dare not lower, as could not raise them again. We seem to be drifting to some terrible doom. Mate now more demoralised than either of men. His stronger nature seems to have worked inwardly against himself. Men are beyond fear, working stolidly and patiently, with minds made up to worst. They are Russian, he Roumanian.
2 August, midnight.--Woke up from few minutes sleep by hearing a cry, seemingly outside my port. Could see nothing in fog. Rushed on deck, and ran against mate. Tells me he heard cry and ran, but no sign of man on watch. One more gone. Lord, help us! Mate says we must be past Straits of Dover, as in a moment of fog lifting he saw North Foreland, just as he heard the man cry out. If so we are now off in the North Sea, and only God can guide us in the fog, which seems to move with us, and God seems to have deserted us.
3 August.--At midnight I went to relieve the man at the wheel and when I got to it found no one there. The wind was steady, and as we ran before it there was no yawing. I dared not leave it, so shouted for the mate. After a few seconds, he rushed up on deck in his flannels. He looked wild-eyed and haggard, and I greatly fear his reason has given way. He came close to me and whispered hoarsely, with his mouth to my ear, as though fearing the very air might hear. "It is here. I know it now. On the watch last night I saw It, like a man, tall and thin, and ghastly pale. It was in the bows, and looking out. I crept behind It, and gave it my knife, but the knife went through It, empty as the air." And as he spoke he took the knife and drove it savagely into space. Then he went on, "But It is here, and I'll find It. It is in the hold, perhaps in one of those boxes. I'll unscrew them one by one and see. You work the helm." And with a warning look and his finger on his lip, he went below. There was springing up a choppy wind, and I could not leave the helm. I saw him come out on deck again with a tool chest and lantern, and go down the forward hatchway. He is mad, stark, raving mad, and it's no use my trying to stop him. He can't hurt those big boxes, they are invoiced as clay, and to pull them about is as harmless a thing as he can do. So here I stay and mind the helm, and write these notes. I can only trust in God and wait till the fog clears. Then, if I can't steer to any harbour with the wind that is, I shall cut down sails, and lie by, and signal for help. . .
It is nearly all over now. Just as I was beginning to hope that the mate would come out calmer, for I heard him knocking away at something in the hold, and work is good for him, there came up the hatchway a sudden, startled scream, which made my blood run cold, and up on the deck he came as if shot from a gun, a raging madman, with his eyes rolling and his face convulsed with fear. "Save me! Save me!" he cried, and then looked round on the blanket of fog. His horror turned to despair, and in a steady voice he said, "You had better come too, captain, before it is too late. He is there! I know the secret now. The sea will save me from Him, and it is all that is left!" Before I could say a word, or move forward to seize him, he sprang on the bulwark and deliberately threw himself into the sea. I suppose I know the secret too, now. It was this madman who had got rid of the men one by one, and now he has followed them himself. God help me! How am I to account for all these horrors when I get to port? When I get to port! Will that ever be?
4 August.--Still fog, which the sunrise cannot pierce, I know there is sunrise because I am a sailor, why else I know not. I dared not go below, I dared not leave the helm, so here all night I stayed, and in the dimness of the night I saw it, Him! God, forgive me, but the mate was right to jump overboard. It was better to die like a man. To die like a sailor in blue water, no man can object. But I am captain, and I must not leave my ship. But I shall baffle this fiend or monster, for I shall tie my hands to the wheel when my strength begins to fail, and along with them I shall tie that which He, It, dare not touch. And then, come good wind or foul, I shall save my soul, and my honour as a captain. I am growing weaker, and the night is coming on. If He can look me in the face again, I may not have time to act. . . If we are wrecked, mayhap this bottle may be found, and those who find it may understand. If not. . .well, then all men shall know that I have been true to my trust. God and the Blessed Virgin and the Saints help a poor ignorant soul trying to do his duty. . .
Of course the verdict was an open one. There is no evidence to adduce, and whether or not the man himself committed the murders there is now none to say. The folk here hold almost universally that the captain is simply a hero, and he is to be given a public funeral. Already it is arranged that his body is to be taken with a train of boats up the Esk for a piece and then brought back to Tate Hill Pier and up the abbey steps, for he is to be buried in the churchyard on the cliff. The owners of more than a hundred boats have already given in their names as wishing to follow him to the grave.
No trace has ever been found of the great dog, at which there is much mourning, for, with public opinion in its present state, he would, I believe, be adopted by the town. Tomorrow will see the funeral, and so will end this one more `mystery of the sea'.
8 August.--Lucy was very restless all night, and I too, could not sleep. The storm was fearful, and as it boomed loudly among the chimney pots, it made me shudder. When a sharp puff came it seemed to be like a distant gun. Strangely enough, Lucy did not wake, but she got up twice and dressed herself. Fortunately, each time I awoke in time and managed to undress her without waking her, and got her back to bed. It is a very strange thing, this sleep-walking, for as soon as her will is thwarted in any physical way, her intention, if there be any, disappears, and she yields herself almost exactly to the routine of her life.
Early in the morning we both got up and went down to the harbour to see if anything had happened in the night. There were very few people about, and though the sun was bright, and the air clear and fresh, the big, grim-looking waves, that seemed dark themselves because the foam that topped them was like snow, forced themselves in through the mouth of the harbour, like a bullying man going through a crowd. Somehow I felt glad that Jonathan was not on the sea last night, but on land. But, oh, is he on land or sea? Where is he, and how? I am getting fearfully anxious about him. If I only knew what to do, and could do anything!
10 August.--The funeral of the poor sea captain today was most touching. Every boat in the harbour seemed to be there, and the coffin was carried by captains all the way from Tate Hill Pier up to the churchyard. Lucy came with me, and we went early to our old seat, whilst the cortege of boats went up the river to the Viaduct and came down again. We had a lovely view, and saw the procession nearly all the way. The poor fellow was laid to rest near our seat so that we stood on it, when the time came and saw everything.
Poor Lucy seemed much upset. She was restless and uneasy all the time, and I cannot but think that her dreaming at night is telling on her. She is quite odd in one thing. She will not admit to me that there is any cause for restlessness, or if there be, she does not understand it herself.
There is an additional cause in that poor Mr. Swales was found dead this morning on our seat, his neck being broken. He had evidently, as the doctor said, fallen back in the seat in some sort of fright, for there was a look of fear and horror on his face that the men said made them shudder. Poor dear old man!
Lucy is so sweet and sensitive that she feels influences more acutely than other people do. Just now she was quite upset by a little thing which I did not much heed, though I am myself very fond of animals.
One of the men who came up here often to look for the boats was followed by his dog. The dog is always with him. They are both quiet persons, and I never saw the man angry, nor heard the dog bark. During the service the dog would not come to its master, who was on the seat with us, but kept a few yards off, barking and howling. Its master spoke to it gently, and then harshly, and then angrily. But it would neither come nor cease to make a noise. It was in a fury, with its eyes savage, and all its hair bristling out like a cat's tail when puss is on the war path.
Finally the man too got angry, and jumped down and kicked the dog, and then took it by the scruff of the neck and half dragged and half threw it on the tombstone on which the seat is fixed. The moment it touched the stone the poor thing began to tremble. It did not try to get away, but crouched down, quivering and cowering, and was in such a pitiable state of terror that I tried, though without effect, to comfort it.
Lucy was full of pity, too, but she did not attempt to touch the dog, but looked at it in an agonised sort of way. I greatly fear that she is of too super sensitive a nature to go through the world without trouble. She will be dreaming of this tonight, I am sure. The whole agglomeration of things, the ship steered into port by a dead man, his attitude, tied to the wheel with a crucifix and beads, the touching funeral, the dog, now furious and now in terror, will all afford material for her dreams.
I think it will be best for her to go to bed tired out physically, so I shall take her for a long walk by the cliffs to Robin Hood's Bay and back. She ought not to have much inclination for sleep-walking then.

How is Cultural Diversity Positioned in Teacher Professional Standards? An International Analysis
Authors: Santoro Ninetta, Kennedy Aileen
This paper presents an analysis of teacher professional standards from five of the most culturally diverse nations in the English-speaking world. The authors examine how culturally and linguistically diverse learners and culturally responsive pedagogy are positioned, and what the standards stipulate teachers should know, and be able to do, in fulfilling their professional obligations. Based on this analysis, the authors conclude that the teacher professional standards do not acknowledge, let alone make explicit, the complex and specific knowledge and skills needed for culturally responsive teaching.

The Work of the Teacher-educator in Australia: Reconstructing the “Superhero” Performer/Academic in an Audit Culture
Authors: Tuinamuana Katarina
This article draws on interview data with Deans/Heads of Schools of Education in the Australian context to explore the question: How is the teacher-educator produced as a category of academic worker? Using critical approaches to discourse analysis, it presents two interlocked storylines woven with varying emphasis through the interviews. First, the teacher-educator is produced as a superhero researcher and teacher, elevated by the expectations of the Excellence in Research for Australia audit/surveillance tools. Second, there is a concomitant struggle to reconcile pressure to research with commitment to meeting the needs of schooling systems, and to addressing the work of the teacher-educator in ethical terms.
A Discursive Psychology Approach to the Study of Pre-service Teachers’ Written Reflections about Teacher Effectiveness
Authors: Oreshkina Maria, Lester Jessica Nina
This paper reports findings from a discourse analysis, informed by a discursive psychology (DP) perspective, of pre-service teachers’ beliefs about teacher effectiveness as constructed in reflective papers. DP treats beliefs as discursive productions that are occasioned by an interactional task and are made visible through discursive features. The analysis highlights the discursive features employed by pre-service teachers as they wrote about teacher effectiveness in relation to their field observations.

A Discourse Analytic Approach to Video Analysis of Teaching: Aligning Desired Identities With Practice
Authors: Schieble Melissa, Vetter Amy, Meacham Mark
This article presents findings from a qualitative study of an experience that supports teacher candidates to use discourse analysis and positioning theory to analyze videos of their practice during student teaching. Using case study methods for data generation and analysis, the authors demonstrate how one participant used the analytic tools to trace whether and how she enacted her preferred teacher identities during student teaching.
The Teacher Educator’s Role in Promoting Institutional Versus Individual Teacher Well-Being
Authors: Margolis Jason, Hodge Ashley, Alexandrou Alex
This article examines the teacher educator’s role in promoting resilience within new teachers in the light of tensions between what is healthy and sustainable for individual teachers vs. the institutions in which they work. The article concludes with specific recommendations for those in the international teacher education community. These recommendations include innovating university school partnerships to directly link individual and institutional well-being; structured opportunities for ‘mindfulness-based’ training; providing opportunities for candidates to analyse ‘cases’ of teaching from a macro-micro perspective; and learning how to take a professional stance.
Becoming a Teacher Educator: The Multiple Boundary-Crossing Experiences of Beginning Teacher Educators
Authors: Trent John
This paper reports on a qualitative study that investigated the identity construction experiences of one group of beginning English language teacher educators in Hong Kong. Drawing upon a theoretical framework that incorporates both identity- in-practice and identity-in-discourse, a narrative approach was adopted to examine participants’ identity trajectory as they crossed multiple boundaries from language learners, to language teachers, to language teacher educators. The study suggests that the challenges teacher educators faced at different stages of their professional identity construction reflected the negotiation of past experiences, future ideals, competency, agency, and marginalization.

Countering the Essentialized Discourse of Teacher Education
Authors: Stremmel Andrew, Burns James, Nganga Christine, Bertolini Katherine
The authors engage in a collaborative inquiry illustrative of a dialogical process of meaning making addressing the future of teacher education in times marked by uncertainty, intense public and political scrutiny, changing policy, and imposed learning standards. They urge teacher education programs and teacher educators to reclaim their crucial role in driving education discourses rather than submitting to mandates based on flawed ideological assumptions about teaching, learning, children, and communities. By critiquing and problematizing minimalist and flawed assumptions driving education policy, teacher education programs can shift the focus back to advocating for what is relevant and meaningful to the communities they serve.

Reflexive Professionalism: Reclaiming the Voice of Authority in Shaping the Discourses of Education Policy
Authors: Bourke Theresa, Ryan Mary, Lidstone John
This article examines who counts as an “authority to speak” on professionalism in the educational field. This article uses Foucauldian archaeology as a rigorous method to examine the shaping of discourse and acknowledges other writers who have ventured into Foucault’s toolbox to borrow one or two of his gadgets. Then the archaeological method is utilised to overview significant voices of authority from the enunciative field of professionalism and professional standards, the latter now a key strategy globally for enhancing professionalism. The authors conclude by arguing that policy needs to utilise such trustworthy evidence by listening to teachers’ and academics’ voices for a “new” and “enacted” reflexive professionalism.

Equity: Policy Rhetoric or a Matter of Meaning of Knowledge? Towards a Framework for Tracing the ‘Efficiency–Equity’ Doctrine in Curriculum Documents
Authors: Wahlstorm Ninni
This article focuses on exploring the perspective of equity in curriculum. From a background of understanding curriculum as embedded in wider transnational policy movements, the author suggests a framework for exploring the trajectories between equity policy and different types of curricula with implications for what counts as knowledge. The results suggest that the technical form of the curriculum can have determining effects on the meaning of knowledge acquisition and that the capabilities approach offers an important frame of analysis for understanding how different aspects of equity are included or excluded in curriculum.

University Autonomy, Agenda Setting and the Construction of Agency: The Case of the European University Association in the European Higher Education Area
Authors: Nokkala Terhi, Bacevic Jana
This paper analyses the ways in which a policy actor constructs its agency through the production of knowledge. It offers a contribution to the debate aiming to develop a more critical perspective on the development of the European Higher Education Area, which sees the process as constituted through the activities of, and the negotiations between, different political actors.

101115 – Visitor 3 – Tux
by dariana on November 15, 2010 in Category : Entertainment
Cam’ra’s on, SUTS heads for the door, opens it, waits for a second. Enters a big chunk of meat. Joking. Big chunky man. Joking. Big man. He’s wearing all black: black sweater, a pair of sporty black pants with suspenders and black shoes. He looks like a carpenter (bee? haha), a person in charge of installing stages maybe?
Big chunky man makes his way into the room, SUTS forgotten at the door. The first carries a big black plastic bag. He crosses in front of the camera, stops for a little, to show it to us (mean, just mean using ambiguity to make me think he has dead kitties in the bag), then shoves it on the bed and starts pulling things out from it. A white shirt appears in the left corner of the images.
Seconds and many editing cuts later, Visitor 3 makes his leave, as grumpy as he’s entered, and SUTS goes to check the things left on his bed.
As expected, on SUTS’ bed there’s a white shirt, a suit/tux, a black scarf, a tie, socks, a bag which probably contains a pair of shoes and a black overall (typical for a Swedish man, we’ve seen it so many times in the airport video).
On a symbolical note, Visitor 3 gave our hero the tools he needs to use on whatever challenges his journey has ahead for him.
Now where is SUTS going? It appears he’s attending a fancy dinner that implies dancing. By the looks of Y and the wedding rings and references in 20101104, it looks like he’s going to a wedding.
Right. Now, the fact that he’s been thought how to dance the Blue Danube waltz tells us that he’s going to be in the presence of royalty. Sure, we can think of two royal people: MO and CU.
And what would SUTS’ role be at this ‘wedding’? A witness? A priest? A… groom?
One very interesting piece of information BeorcRadNyd came with right after this video was posted is this:
hey people…long time lurker, first time poster. the latest video (101114) reminds me of the video that was linked to with Y- the groom talks about how he was just a commoner, but when he fell in love with the princess (the bride) he learned how to act like a noble to impress her parents. maybe that’s a clue to what’s going on? he is taught by his visitor how to bow and dance properly…
It pays off to be a Swede and understand the language, aye? Thank you very much for the info Veeery interesting! Is SUTS`ready to become a King himself, via marriage to new MO, now that CU is dead?
Is this the way to symbolically marry the new artistic product with its receiver?
Now a few things about this… let’s call it event we are all going to probably/hopefully witness on the 16th. Everybody is expecting a concert, I must admit I do too, I mean it sounds great, right? However, that message on towhomitmayconcern.cc could also mean something else:
I2.0I AM IN CONCERT could also mean something close to “gather here at this certain hour so we could all be in agreement with something”
Because, according to thefreedictionary and thesaurus:
concert = Unity achieved by mutual communication of views, ideas, and opinions: acted in concert on the issue; to act together in harmony; to synchronize.
If we think of a combination, it’s probably be about all concerned receivers getting married to their artistic product, LOL!!! Not just SUTS. Are we going to be put in front of making a choice?
No, seriously, this might turn in NOT being a concert in the proper meaning of the word. Even though, if you think of it, iamamiwhoami have always taken their fans’ thoughts and desires into consideration. It’s going to be hard if there’s no performance, haha!
I wonder what that TALK is going to be about. And whether it’s going to be just SUTS talking or him talking to someone else, the second implying also the presence of one or more visitors.

There’s no such thing as privacy in Lake Eden, but Hannah never thought things would go this far. Everyone has been telling her what to do ever since she got not one but two marriage proposals. Movie mania soon shoves Hannah’s marriage dilemma into the background and even gives her cat a shot at stardom. The Cookie Jar serves as snack central with Main Street rented out for the week. She stirs lots of fresh gossip, whipping up treats for cast and crew, including demanding director Dean Lawrence’s favorite—cherry cheesecake.
Everything’s on schedule until Dean demonstrates a suicide scene with a prop gun that turns out to be all too real. As filming continues, Hannah sifts through the clues, hoping against hope that the person responsible for Dean’s death is half-baked enough to have made a mistake. When it happens, Hannah intends be there—ready to rewrite a killer’s lethal script with the kind of quirky ending that can only happen in Lake Eden…

Homes For Sale in Haddon Heights
Haddon Heights is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. Haddon Heights was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 2, 1904, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township and parts of Haddon Township. Haddon Heights is a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold. New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Haddon Heights as the 98th best place to live in New Jersey in its 2008 rankings of the “Best Places To Live” in New Jersey, and the borough has also been listed among its “Classic Towns of Greater Philadelphia” by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. In 2011, New Jersey Monthly named Haddon Heights the second best town to live in Southern New Jersey, after Moorestown Township.
The land that was to become Haddon Heights was settled in 1699 by John Hinchman. In 1713, John Siddon built a farmhouse near Hinchman’s property. John Thorn Glover dammed King’s Run and constructed a mill race and fulling mill on this property before 1776. Jacob Hinchman built a frame dwelling no later than 1720 that was later enlarged by American Revolutionary War hero Col. Joseph Ellis. New Jersey governor Joseph Bloomfield later purchased this property.
The Haddon Heights School District serves public school students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade. St. Rose of Lima School, founded in 1921, is an elementary school that operates under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden. Baptist Regional School is a private, co-educational K-12 college-preparatory school governed by a board of directors in association with Haddon Heights Baptist Church (GARBC). The school offers an integrated curriculum with a conservative Christian worldview.

The Remains
I fell asleep on a plane and dreamed this short story. I beg your indulgence.
David Miller was at his desk. The forecast was clear – an Indian Summer day – and he hoped to cut out of the office early and get home in time for Rachel’s soccer game. There was nothing funnier than watching a group of seven-year-old girls play soccer. One or two might get the idea, but most of them carefully circled the ball like a terrified school of fish. They moved slowly, in a symbiotic group, never making physical contact with anything.
His heart had swollen almost to bursting when Rachel had scored her first goal. In front of the opponent’s goalie, her tiny frame had suddenly appeared with a rebound and he had willed her to kick the ball in. When the white sphere came to rest in the back of the netting, he had jumped with fists raised, as though he was a benchwarmer for an NCAA team that had just clinched the championship.
The vision passed and he gazed at the outrageously tall stack of files that Cheryl had pulled for him. His client, a multinational software firm, was the defendant in a “failure to perform” lawsuit. It was all crap, of course. The software worked. In fact, it worked at thousands of other companies across the globe. It wasn’t his client’s fault that the plaintiff hired crap consultants to implement the package. Of course, he’d have to phrase his response a little more artfully than that…
Without warning, his Aeron chair lurched 45 degrees to the left. He watched incuriously, in slow motion, as his rolodex rose and then pitched itself at his feet.
He became aware, slowly, of a roar that grew like a hurricane and threatened to collapse his eardrums. And, then, just as quickly as it had come, it dissipated, leaving only his coworkers’ cries and a dull fire claxon bleating relentlessly.
He stood and turned to see what had happened. A couple of ladies in the admin pool area were hugging each other. Sheaves of paper littered the floor and light fixtures had detached from the drop ceiling and were swinging slowly in tiny loops.
Was it an earthquake? What had just happened?
Hal, the managing partner who commanded the southwest corner office, came running down the aisle toward him.
“I think a plane just hit the building!”
His glasses were askew and one of his loafers was missing.
A plane? A plane?
Even though she attended NYU and was a “big girl” – at least per her doting Mom – Rachel delineated her life story into two segments. B.T. and A.T. Before the Towers and After the Towers.
B.T. was a brighter time, a simpler time. Everything made sense.
A time of unvarnished love from her parents, colored most vividly by “Reading Time”.
It was her favorite time of the entire day.
Dad was home, and they sat in her queen-sized bed just before it was time for lights out.
Every night for a year, it seemed, she wanted him to read the same book to her. And every night he did. It was a story about letters, each letter of the alphabet, and every one had its own personality.
She could still hear her Dad’s sing-song words.
“A told B, and B told C, I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree…”
The letters lived in the jungle, and every night the silly letter I would fall off the top of the tree and then the rest of the letters would come tumbling down.
Every night she giggled as her Dad narrated and sang, the letters following the same, safe, and utterly predictable script.
Then the script became anything but predictable.
No one would ever read the book to her again, at least not in the way her Dad had, hunched next to each other with only her nightstand lamp illuminating their faces.
A.T., A.T., A.T.
The support her family had was overwhelming. Her Grandma, her Mom’s Mom, had moved in with them, and they walked and cried and survived together through a haze of services and memorials and tributes.
But missing was closure.
They had never found her Dad’s remains.
And it was so odd. There was even a picture of him she’d found surfing the web. He was looking out from a window on the 99th floor, the entire glass panel gone, and his right hand seemed to be resting on the back of a chair.
His face was expressionless, as if he’d broken the window and felt guilty about it.
She had memorized the photo, never telling her Mother about it, knowing it would be too much for her to bear.
How, she wondered, had they never found her Dad’s remains?
They’d been able to recover something, some remnant, for so many of the victims’ families. Especially for the dozens of “jumpers”, who’d been forced by the flames and smoke to leap into the abyss.
She was certain her Dad was one of them. Again, in her Internet forays, she’d found a picture of a man she was certain was him. He had just jumped from a window, two hands raised above his head as if celebrating a touchdown, his legs bent in an athletic stance.
As if he could land like a cat on the ground below.
Every day the lack of closure sat like a piece of gravel in the pit of her gut. Solid and un-dissolvable, never leaving her mind.
With pieces of cloth ripped from shirts and jackets and wrapped around their faces like primitive masks, they had tried all four exits from the floor. Smoke in each had stopped any attempt at descent. In the northwest corner, they had even seen flames licking up the stairwell and then they’d felt a pulse-wave of heat that had driven them back to their floor.
They had done their best to seal each of the exits, ripping the tough carpet from the floor and jamming it into every crevice around the stairwell doors.
Sheryl and Kyle manned the phones, trying to get a line out, either through the office switchboard or their cell phones. No one was getting through.
Though he didn’t say anything, David was worrying about something specific. Not the exits. The heat. It felt like the floors were pulsing. Impossible, he thought, there are sprinkler systems throughout the building.
Yet when he placed his hand on the carpet near his desk, he knew that something was boiling beneath him. A supernatural heat was rising from the floor.
A thought struck him.
“Bust open the windows,” he shouted, “Get some air circulating in here!”
He took his Aeron and slammed it as hard as he could against the mirror-like panel that faced Staten Island.
It bounced right back at him, his momentum sending him crashing into the chair as hard as he’d thrown it at the window.
Undeterred, he swung again, this time even angrier.
“Get the window open!”, he shouted to himself.
The third time it worked. The frame cracked and the glass tilted a couple of inches away from the building. Seeing the fracture, he crashed the chair into the center of the glass. He was rewarded with the indelible image of the panel, followed by the chair, soaring into the wind and then down somewhere below.
He ran to the other side. A cross-breeze. Get some relief from the heat.
But already he could feel the soles of his feet itching, burning, as he urged himself forward.
Not bothering with a chair, he took a desk and pushed it within a couple of feet of the window. He hoisted it, grunting with the exertion, and then let it carom into and through the window.
Finally, some air whipped through the structure.
But it wasn’t enough. Smoke was seeping through two of the fire doors. He could see the black pitch crawling on the ceiling like something out of a horror movie.
His feet were literally burning, despite his new Johnston & Murphy wingtips.
And then the air began to burn around him. The air was on fire.
He had no choice.
He looked out the open window, holding on to an Aeron chair for balance, and then realized how silly that was. He steeled himself for what he must do next, sending little prayers out to his wife and his daughter, his Mother, his…
It was too late. He skin had begun to bubble, soft blisters rising on his hand as he watched incredulously.
It was all so surreal, everything was surreal except for the heat.
There was only one thing left in the world and it was the heat.
And then, without realizing it, he was soaring, his hands above his head, wearing only a T-shirt, slacks, and shoes.
The heat was suddenly and blissfully gone and now, he knew, he was at the end.
He closed his eyes and repeated a simple prayer from his childhood. He didn’t want to see anything, not the ground rushing up to meet him, not the street he’d walked on for years, nothing.
A white, round sphere prized his eyes open. It was a white face, a face of beauty and resolve. The face rode on two small but stout shoulders, graceful, powerful white wings driving in cadence.
He felt himself carried, lifted, by a powerful thrumming that vibrated in tune with churning wings.
He looked up, right into the Tuesday sun, and saw only light and a few precious clouds glittering like diamonds.
On the morning of her 18th birthday, Rachel awoke with her list of to-do items memorized.
She had to finish registering for classes, because she was on a “standby” list for one of the journalism classes she needed.
Then she had to head uptown to meet her Mom for brunch. And Aunt Kay, her Mom’s sister, was going to be there. She was genuinely excited: Kay was single, younger than her Mom, much wilder and – much more fun.
Then, a bit later, there was a little party for her at Danielle’s place, a spacious four-bedroom corner unit right across from campus.
But before all that, she had to clean herself up, shower, shampoo, condition, straighten and…
Sitting in the center of her desk was a white feather. It was three or four inches long.
She picked it up, staring. She ran her finger down its side. It was silky soft.
It reminded her of a dream she’d had that night. A dream about her Dad.
And suddenly she knew where his remains were.
The tiny flower in her sad little pot that rode precariously on her weathered window sill. The books in her room. The clouds in the sky.
She knew where her Dad’s remains were.
She was certain of it: he was all around her.
A prayer: The Dreams That Fly Away.

From: Vancouver, BC, Canada
The Ferrari 312B was a series of Formula One racing car models, designed and built by Scuderia Ferrari. It was the successor to the Ferrari 312 and was used from 1970 until early 1975. Several versions were made: the 312B, 312B2 and 312B3. The early 1970s saw the return of success to the Scuderia; the unlucky Chris Amon left, while Jacky Ickx returned and was joined by Clay Regazzoni. A Flat-12 engine, colloquially referred to as a "boxer" (although not a real boxer engine), was developed for use in the new Ferrari 312B, giving a lower center of gravity.
During the design's first season, in 1970, Ickx battled with Lotus's Jochen Rindt and won 3 Grands Prix, while the emotional 1970 Italian Grand Prix was won by Clay Regazzoni, following the death of Rindt in the week preceding the race. In the remaining races, Ickx could not pass Rindt's point score for the drivers title, and Lotus won the Constructors Championship ahead of Ferrari.
1971 started with a win by new signing Mario Andretti, followed by another GP win for Ickx. Ferrari ultimately came second in the Constructors Championship, as Jackie Stewart and Tyrrell dominated the season.
Ferrari 312B2, Salon RetroMobile, France.
In 1972, Ferrari could not keep up with the progress of the competition, dropping to 4th at the end of the year. Ickx won the 1972 German Grand Prix at his favorite track, the Nürburgring, but this was to be his last GP win. The sports cars season was a success for Ferrari though, with the Ferrari 312PB based on the F1 car.
In 1973 the Ferrari 312B2 was no longer competitive, and Ickx only managed one 4th place, at opening GP of the season. In addition to the sports cars, which were beaten by the French Matra, the F1 program of the Italian team was outclassed, and they even skipped some F1 races, notably the Nürburgring. This was not acceptable to Ickx,[citation needed] who left the team halfway through the season in order to contest the 1973 German Grand Prix at the 'Ring in a McLaren, where he took 3rd place behind the Tyrrells of Stewart and François Cevert.
Ferrari signed BRM drivers Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni to rebuild the team in 1974. A new model, the 312 B3, based on a prototype called "snow plough"[1] was introduced.
The car was succeeded by the 312T which was introduced for the 1975 Formula One season.

Jared Leto transforms into a vampiric antihero in new 'Morbius' trailer
By Stephen Loiaconi 1578952886000
An image of Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius in 'Morbius.' (Sony Pictures/YouTube)
Sony Pictures gave audiences their first look at its latest Spider-Man spinoff film Monday with the release of a teaser trailer for “Morbius,” the tale of a “living vampire” trying to do good while struggling with his self-inflicted curse.
In the film, brilliant scientist Dr. Michael Morbius, played by Jared Leto, attempts to cure his rare blood disease with an experimental and not-entirely-legal cure that involves infecting himself with vampirism. It does not go well.
Morbius emerges stronger than ever and empowered with echolocation. On the downside, he is also burdened with “an overpowering urge to consume blood.” The result is what Leto described to IGN as “not your grandfather’s superhero.”
“There's a line in the film where Morbius says that he's been dying his entire life and now feels more alive than ever. And I think that sums it up,” Leto said. “Here's someone who's been afflicted with this horrendous disease and has had all kinds of challenges and has been in pursuit of this cure. And then all of a sudden has this power and this physical strength, which is all incredible, but there is a flip side to it, as well. There's a dark side. So that battle between the light and dark is something that he fights throughout the film.”
Created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, Morbius the Living Vampire was introduced as a villain in Amazing Spider-Man in the 1970s and became a sort of supernatural antihero in the 1990s, vowing only to drink the blood of criminals. Leto is glimpsed only briefly in full-on vampire mode at the end of the trailer, but the look appears faithful to the source material.
Though largely a standalone film like 2018’s “Venom,” “Morbius” takes place in the same universe as Sony’s recent Spider-Man movies, with Michael Keaton apparently reprising his role as the Vulture and graffiti denouncing Spider-Man as a murderer in the background in the trailer. Whether that means it also takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is probably a question for Marvel’s lawyers to resolve.
Directed by Daniel Espinosa and co-starring Adria Arjona, Tyrese Gibson, Jared Harris, and Matt Smith, “Morbius” is set for release July 31.

Fantasy Focus: Week 6 Fantasy Football Analysis
Posted on October 16, 2009 by luckylester
The old man made it two weeks in a row, but at least it stayed in family again. Despite Red Red and Josh’s fantasy genius, neither has found a top spot in any one week this year. But I’m not settling for 2nd, getting the top spot three straight weeks to start the season felt a lot nicer than two straight 2nd place finishes. I’m out for the glory in Week 6. There are some more gross games that you’d like to stay away from this week (Rams/Redskins for one) and some great ones that fantasy should shine in. Here are the predictions for Week 6’s Fantasy Football action. Let the ghost of Drew Bledsoe in Patriot-ic red, white, and blue and his chubby 7th grader-like athleticism shine through with rapture, lead me back to the promise land you dopey Cougar!!!
Elite Starters: Guys picked early that I love this week…
1. DeAngelo Williams – It’s a shot in the dark, maybe, and Williams hasn’t been great this year, but Tampa calls…
2. Randy Moss – Tennessee Titans. Remember the Titans? Remember how they had a great secondary last year. Forget that.
3. Maurice Jones-Drew – He struggled last week, but in comes St. Louis to quell all problems.
4. Tom Brady – I’m starting to like anyone against the Titans secondary, but Tom has a special place in my heart.
5. Brandon Marshall – The big talented kid has seemingly figured it out, and that means bad things for San Diego.
Solid Starters: Guys picked in middle rounds that should outplay their ranking/draft position this week…
1. Matt Hasselbeck – Arizona really doesn’t let you run it, but they sure allow you to pass it. Matty can do that.
2. T.J. Housmandzadeh – If you like Matt this week, and I do, you have to like T.J.
3. Cedric Benson – This cat is running down hill. He put up a big number on Baltimore, Houston should fall like dominoes.
4. Brett Favre – A lot of people will be confused and sit Brett against Baltimore, should be one of this better throwing games.
5. Wes Welker – I think Welker has 10 or more catches for at least 100 yards this week. That’s 20 points and a great day.
Sleeper Starters: Guys ranked low, drafted low or not at all, but I still like them this week…
1. Nate Burleson – There was no reason for him to go undrafted in most leagues, he’s a weekly starter, this week should be great.
2. Donnie Avery – The kid is finally getting healthy and he can fly, Jacksonville struggles to stop even kiwi bird air attacks.
3. Rashard Mendenhall – I’ll ride this super sophomore until he lets me down, especially against the league’s worst run D.
4. Kyle Orton – The Chargers let opponents have their way, and Josh McDaniels likes to throw the rock. Good for Orton owners.
5. Eddie Royal – I love me some Eddie Royal this week against San Diego, especially since he saw 15 targets last week.
Sit ‘Em Son: I don’t care where they were drafted, I don’t like these guys starting this week…
1. Fred Jackson – It’s going to be tough for me to play Fred much, Lynch gets more carries and more receptions.
2. Vincent Jackson – An impossible guy to sit on most teams, but if you have other solid options, I think he struggles.
3. Julius Jones – Hopefully you listened to Red Red Ryan and traded him when he had value, AZ won’t allow much.
4. Santonio Holmes – Because why would the Steelers pass more than 20 times when they could run to victory easily?
5. Steve Slaton – In a non-ppr league, I think you sit Slaton. If it’s PPR, don’t expect a great day, but could be playable.
PS – Don’t play Dolphins, 49ers, Colts, and Cowboys in Week 6! Byes! Mind the gap!

Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Watch: Thing 1 and Thing 2
Posted on September 25, 2009 by Josh Arsenault
Welcome back for my next installment of Thing 1 and Thing 2. If you followed my advice last week you got comparable (and in some cases better) production from your lesser-owned fantasy players. The lone exception was due to Kellen Winslow’s breakout game and Robert Royal’s disappearing act. You can’t win them all I guess but four out of five ain’t bad. As the weeks go on it will get tougher and tougher to uncover those hidden gems so staying active on your league’s waiver wire early can really pay off as the season wears on. Who should you be paying attention to as week 3 approaches? … Let’s get after it.
Thing 1: A much-hyped rookie coming out of college, this kid has loads of talent but hasn’t looked ready for the NFL early in his career. He is currently the sexier pick in a RBBC offensive scheme but his production has yet to match his 95% ownership in ESPN leagues.
Thing 2: A career backup that has had some injury troubles but has always done the most with the chances that have been given to him. He is currently being overlooked as a fantasy contributor but his production on the field warrants much more consideration than his 38% ownership suggests.
Reality Check: Thing 1 is Knowshon Moreno and Thing 2 is Correll Buckhalter. The running back situation in Denver will likely be fluid all season long, but don’t miss out on the cheap production you can get from a guy like Buckhalter, especially early in the season. Moreno will finish the season with more touches, but I think Buckhalter will score more TDs for the Broncos due to his big play ability and slightly larger build.
Thing 1: This QBs upside is marginal but he does have a talented group of wide receivers and young, imaginative offensive mind calling the shots. That said, his decision-making has always been a huge question mark and I am amazed that he is currently owned in 78% of ESPN leagues.
Thing 2: This QB came into the season undrafted in all but the deepest of leagues but is steadily making strides toward fantasy consideration. He does turn the ball over more than he should but early in the season his yardage and TDs are more than making up for it. He is currently owned in just 12% of leagues.
Reality Check: Thing 1 is Kyle Orton and Thing 2 is Byron Leftwich. Orton is the prototypical “game manager” and has the potential to post more consistent stat-lines than Leftwich, but the upside of the sluggish-armed Tampa QB is intriguing. He has shown a good rapport with TE Kellen Winslow early in the year and a defense on the decline could have him playing a lot of catchup. Ask Jay Cutler how that worked out for his fantasy stats last year.
Thing 1: This WR is an extremely gifted route-runner and has some of surest hands in the NFL. Due to some off-season changes to his supporting cast, his early-season production has taken a major hit. I still like the kid a lot, and he is becoming a good buy-low candidate, but he is currently owned in 90% of ESPN leagues.
Thing 2: This young WR has blazing speed and his big-play potential has caused his team to try and find more opportunities to get the ball in his hands. A big jump in his ownership percentage this past week means owners are starting to take notice so this may be your last chance to go get him. He is currently owned in 20% of leagues.
Reality Check: Thing 1 is Eddie Royal and Thing 2 is Johnny Knox. Royal’s loss this past off-season has been Knox’s gain in the form of Jay Cutler. A strong-armed QB with decent accuracy, Cutler is able to fit the ball into tight spots for Knox to work those shallow crosses and sideline routes that made Royal a household name last year. As their chemistry grows expect to see more of the speed merchant from Abilene Christian.
Thing 1: This physical WR uses his body extremely well to make tough catches in traffic. He has a rookie signal-caller tossing him the rock and over the first two weeks of the season they have shown decent chemistry. He has yet to get into the end zone, but this productive wideout is currently owned in 96% of ESPN leagues.
Thing 2: This second-year WR won a preseason battle for the #2 role on his team. Although his play was inconsistent in his rookie season, he has shown flashes of big-play potential and has developed into a good route-runner. He won’t produce as a fantasy starter every week, but there is value here and he is owned in just 12% of leagues.
Reality Check: Thing 1 is Jerricho Cotchery and Thing 2 is Chansi Stuckey. I like what I have seen from Stuckey and his rookie QB thus far. Mark Sanchez’s lightning-quick feet and superb vision mean he will be able to keep plays alive longer than his aging predecessor, allowing his receivers to work toward open space. I think Stuckey has big-time sleeper potential in an offense that looks to be much more balanced than anyone thought heading into the season.

Trick or Treat?: Week 2 Fantasy Football Analysis
Posted on September 25, 2009 by Ryan Kauffman
Welcome to Red Red Ryan’s weekly “Trick or Treat” section, where I, Red Red Ryan will break down some of the performances from the previous week and tell you whether or not you are being tricked or you can expect the same treat the rest of the way.
Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal:
Does a quarterback make the wide receivers? Or do the wide receivers make the quarterback? In my opinion the quarterback make the wide receiver, and that spells trouble for Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. I’m not saying that they are bad receivers, I think they are elite receivers, however they have a terrible quarterback throwing them the ball. In 2008 with Jay Cutler locking in on them Marshall caught 104 passes for 1265 yards and 6 TD’s and Royal caught 91 passes for 980 yards and 5 TD’s. After two weeks in the 2009 season Marshall and Royal are on pace for less than half of their stats from 2008. Marshall is on pace for just 56 receptions and Royal for only 40. These numbers are very close to Devin Hester’s 51 receptions for 665 and 3 TD’s, who was Orton’s number 1 receiving target from 2008. Meanwhile in Chicago; Johnny Knox, Earl Bennett, and Devin Hester all have more receptions than Marshall and Royal. You are going to get what you’re getting, no trick here.
Verdict: Treat
Matt Forte:
Tough going so far in 2009 for second year running back Matt Forte. In Week 1 he rushed for 55 yards on 25 carries and for the first time in his career he went without a catch. Matt had a bit of a bounce back game in week 2 catching 5 passes for 33 yards while rushing 13 times for 29 yards. It was nice to see Forte getting some touches in the passing game after the Week 1 loss. I think we will see Lovie Smith’s influence by seeing more passes to their playmaker out of the backfield. As for Forte’s lack of rushing yards, I think we see a big change in the Week 3 match-up versus the Seahawks. I expect Forte to get back on track this week against a beat up and generally soft run defense, and carry that momentum with him for the rest of the season.
Verdict: Trick
Eli Manning:
Which quarterback has the 5th most passing yards in the NFL? That’s right, it’s Eli Manning. Thus far in 2009 Eli has sliced and diced his way through 2 top 7 passing defenses from the 2008 season. I know it’s early, and history shows he’s bound to have a 3 INT game in the next 2 weeks, but I just don’t think it’s going to happen this year. And now, I couldn’t find any crazy red headed stats to back me up, because the truth is he usually goes interception happy. But if you look at the Giants schedule coming up they play against some pretty bad pass defenses, and unless the “G-men” can get the ground game going Eli will be throwing early and often to his underrated group of young wide outs.
Cedric Benson:
Woo Hoo!! Cedric Benson is 6th in the league in rushing. Nice middle round pick taking the last starting running back available. Time to get some return from Cedric while his value is at his highest. Yes, his highest. So far Cedric has rushed for 76 yards against the Broncos and 141 yards against the Packers. Both teams in the bottom 6 rush defense from a year ago. The real test will be over the next 7 weeks when he faces the Steelers and Ravens twice, with the Bears in between. I believe Benson is a #3 RB and should only be started in a good match up. So if you can sell high on him, and buy low on a guy like Steve Slaton, I think you will be better off at seasons end.

2009 NFL Fantasy Football: Lucky Lester Shares his Predictions
Posted on August 27, 2009 by luckylester
Last year’s predictions had some big winners, a couple tough luck losers, not to mention a handful of “what the hell was I thinking” fortunes that I told all wrong. I won’t get them all right this year either, but I’d like to think my waterfall of fantasy fodder will get you on the right track for your drafts, seasonal trade value, and possibly even a date with that girl that works at Victoria Secret. The brunette. As goes, I’ll spout off some claim, maybe even a sentence explaining why I think this, and will review the whole thing later in the year to see how it all went. All four of the writers doing work on this site will do an article similar to this, and in the end we’ll see who is the sharpest beach ball of them all. Let the games begin!
1. When Maurice Jones-Drew straps up his helmet this season he’ll get 5-10 more touches per game. According to Josh Arsenault’s “Value of Opportunity” article that means big things for MJD. How big? Try 1800+ total yards and 14+ TDs for one of the game’s most explosive players.
2. Through one game last season, Nate Burleson was on pace to have 900+ yards and 80 catches. He’ll get close to that this season, despite being TJ Housh’s sidekick for the Seattle Seahawks. How close? Lets say 70 grabs and 900 yards, plus at least 6 touchdowns. Not a bad output for a guy rarely getting picked before Round 14, if at all.
3. Last year, Donnie Avery posted 53 receptions, 674 yards, and 3 scores for the Rams. He’ll double that last total, while finishing with at least 70 grabs and 850 yards.
4. Two of the following four quarterbacks will fail to play 12 games this year: Donovan McNabb, Brett Favre, Drew Brees, and Big Ben Roethlisberger. O-line questions, style of play observations, interesting coaching decisions, and some bad freaking luck will likely play a role.
5a. If Daunte Culpepper gets the job out of camp, he’ll throw more than 20 touchdowns in 2009.
5b. If Matthew Stafford gets the gig out of camp, he’ll throw for less than 15.
6. At least two of these guys will be in the top 5 in rushing yards this season: LaDainian Tomlinson, Steven Jackson, Frank Gore, and Ryan Grant.
7. There is a business like show business – it’s called professional sports.
8. The last time Tony Gonzalez had less than 73 catches was 2002 and that was the only time that happened in the last 10 years. He’ll have fewer catches this season.
9. Reggie Bush will end up having more fantasy points than Pierre Thomas, despite getting drafted after him in almost every single draft. Many forget that Reggie played in only 10 games (2 of which he barely played in) and he still finished with over 800 total yards and 6 TDs.
10. Matt Hasselbeck is moving up my rankings based on his strength and accuracy thus far in the pre-season. He’ll finish as a Top 10 fantasy quarterback this year.
11. Trent Edwards also has seen a boost. It’s just the pre-season, I know, but I see him being a Top 20 guy, easily.
12. When are people going to recognize Eddie Royal? This kid is going to be special. In his second season he’ll improve on his 91 catches, 980 yards, and five touchdowns. Yes, that means he’ll be even better without Cutler, folks.
13. Last year was amazing for DeAngelo Williams. First the Panthers draft Jon Stewart in the 1st round, then Williams turns into the best fantasy running back in the league. Not a fluke, the guy is a very smart runner. He won’t match his TDs from last season, but his rushing yardage will shoot over the 1500 yard mark once again.
14. Everybody and their mother thinks Ronnie Brown is overrated going into 2009 because “half his points came in one game, blah, blah, blah”. What a joke. The fat lady hasn’t even written a song for this kid yet, he’s going to tear it up in the AFC East this season. Halfway through his 7th game in 2007, Brown was just 9 yards short of 1000 from scrimmage with 5 touchdowns. He was the only offensive threat on the field and he was still rushing for over 5 yards per carry. He’s a beast. He’s fully healthy and more than a year removed from his knee injury. This will easily be his best season. I predict over 1400 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns from the 27 year old with very few miles on his tires.
15. Speaking of the fat lady, these old guys aren’t dead yet: Each player, despite their avg. draft slot, will have solid years. Torry Holt (35th WR), Terrell Owens (12th WR), Clinton Portis (14th RB) (only 28 this season, but an OLD 28), and LT (7th RB) should all be good. At least 3 of the 4 will will finish above their average draft slot ranking.
16. Youth Movement? Not this year, not for rookies anyway. After 4 rookie running backs finished in the top 20 in total rushing yards last season (3 in the Top 10), no more than one rookie will match that mark this season (none in the Top 10).
17. Julius Jones is getting picked late. Probably even later than he was before Edgerrin James got swooped up by the Hawks. But Jones will still be the man in Seattle, and that zone blocking scheme should be a good one for his Irish style. He once had 1084 rushing yards for the Cowboys and 4 touchdowns. I’m saying he finishes with more yards and scores than he did during his best season with Dallas. In fact, I’m willing to suggest he has 8 touchdowns or more in 2009.
18. There are 25 running backs getting picked ahead of Darren McFadden. He out produces at least half of those guys, and makes it into the Top 12 this season. He’s moving up my board!
19. Brandon Jacobs finishes the season with more carries and yards than he ever has in his career. Oh, and he at least matches those 15 scores from a season ago. That offensive line is beastly.
20. What does Dallas do with all those TO targets this season? Roy Williams? Sure, Roy will get more targets, but a lot of those TO touches are going to Felix Jones. That means he’ll be much better than his average draft position. His ADP is 36, he’ll be top 20.
21. People are drafting Vincent Jackson as if he will get the same numbers he got last season. So, a couple picks ahead of that, you should grab him. He will have better totals across the board, catches, yardage, touchdowns.
22. Mark Sanchez (the rookie that was “not ready for the NFL” according to the “brilliant” Coach Carol at USC) will win at least 8 games as the Jets starting signal caller this season.
23. Steve Slaton will outscore every sophomore running back not named Matt Forte. That’s right, those in love with McFadden’s upside, Chris Johnson’s speed, Kevin Smith, and Jon Stewart’s all around tools, Slaton is the guy I see being a stud this season.
24. Tim Hightower will be a better fantasy back than Beanie Wells – especially in PPR leagues. Beanie can’t catch. Beanie gets hurt. Tim isn’t my fave, not at all, but his fantasy stats will be better than the Cardinals’ first round pick’s numbers.
25. The San Diego Chargers’ defense will once again be a Top 5 fantasy unit.
26. Anquan Boldin > Roddy White (fantasy points).
27. Derrick Ward, often drafted as the 37th RB overall. He’ll be at least 10 spots higher than that on the end-of-season running back rankings.
28. Mark Sanchez gets drafted ahead of Matt Hasselbeck in most fantasy leagues. I promise Matt will be better than Mark, in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Matt doubles Mark in touchdowns. Shoot, right it down.
29. Dallas Clark, Antonio Gates, and Jason Witten will all finish ahead of Tony Gonzalez in the TE rankings.
30. Anthony Gonzalez, Eddie Royal, along with Vincent and DeSean Jackson will all have more fantasy points than Braylon Edwards this season.
That’s it, as promised, I’m first: 3 more prediction sessions on the way before the season begins…

theRUNDOWN Review: Week 4
Posted on October 3, 2008 by luckylester
Week 4 wasn’t historic, these were my best picks? Damn! Well, it’s what I got. Brett Favre and Laveranues Coles would have been a nice combo, they went for 81 fantasy points together. My outing went like this… And 116 points ain’t too shabby.
QB: Aaron Rodgers vs. Bucs: Rodgers had some injury woes, but his 165 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions got me a whopping 12 points – to make matters worse I too a hit on that game as well, as the Packers didn’t stand a chance with no running game to speak of and all those turnovers.
RB: Frank Gore vs. New Orleans: The 49ers were down, so Gore only rushed the ball 16 times – or was it because Mike Martz is a freak? Option two. Either way, Gore’s 82 rushing yards and 31 receiving yards got him 15 fantasy points, good for 13th amongst running backs.
RB: Marshawn Lynch vs. Car Ram-Rod: Yet another week where Lynch was outscored (in PPR leagues) by Fred Jackson. Jackson almost had as many yards *47-59, on 12 less carries (7-19) and he caught one more ball for 15 more yards than Lynch as well. Marshawn was 18th overall with 11 fantasy points.
WR: Brandon Marshall vs. Chiefs: Marshall continued his onslaught of NFL defenses, having a down day and still grabbing 7 balls for 77 yards and a touchdown – his fumble brought his total down to 18. Still, 16th overall on the day wasn’t great.
WR: Steve Smith vs. Atlanta: 6 catches, 96 yards and a touchdown for 21 points. Steve is back and he looks to benefit from Mushin’s presence along the outside.
TE: Tony Gonzalez vs. Denver: 3 grabs for 47 yards and a score, nice day for a TE, but how can I not go with Witten? He was 5th overall with 13 points.
K: Rian Lindell vs. Ram-Rod: 5th overall with 13 points, that’s like hitting the lottery! I’m off the snide!
D: Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore: 8th overall with 13 fantasy points, not the shutdown performance I was expecting, maybe I didn’t give their injuries enough thought.
PAPA’S Week 1 SLEEPERS
Kerry Collins: Collins had 199 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions – he did throw a lot, 35 times, but only completing 18 passes is never a good percentage. Collins, though he was a stretch, only got me 6 fantasy points. F
Trent Edwards: Trent was 12th overall making him a low end starting option on Sunday. His 200 yards 1 touchdown 1 pick performance gave him 13 points on the week. I’ll take a B for that one.
Carson Palmer: Didn’t start, didn’t play. He’s a write off.
Maurice Jones Drew: How can you go about life giving this kid 7 carries? I’m convinced the Jaguars are stupid. But hey, he had 6 fantasy points. Ugh. F
DeAngelo Williams: Williams had 7 fantasy points getting half the team’s carries. Jon Stewart is the better option. D
Selvin Young: If the Broncos gave him a chance he’d be solid. Denver was down all day to the Chiefs though, so Young only got 11 looks, he did gain 49 yards with those chances though. Silly Splinter. F
Bernard Berrian: 5 catches for 78 yards, no score, but this was a good day for Berrian owners – if you snuck him off the waiver wire, you are about to get a good return on that investment. B+
Jerry Porter: 1 catch 6 yards – full health? What were the Jaguars up to this week? F
Eddie Royal and DeSean Jackson: Royal grabbed 9 balls for 104 yards (and a fumble) for 17 points – Jackson snagged 5 balls for 71 yards and a touchdown for 19 fantasy points – there were 14th and 19th overall respectively. A
Owen Daniels: Daniels had 7 catches for 87 yards to lead the Texans in receiving – he was 4th amongst TE’s. A
Buffalo: 3rd overall with 17 fantasy points, good day for the Bills, and they pulled out a win. There were bound to score a defensive touchdown against St. Louis, right? It was meant to be.
Papa’S Week 4 Splinter-Butts (bench him, son)
LenDale White: 11 carries 13 yards, but the touchdown made him noteworthy i guess – still this was a good sit. Your welcome.
Ryan Grant: 15 carries for 20 yards. Your welcome.
Clinton Portis: Clinton carried the Redskins past the Cowboys, getting a couple huge first downs to put the game away and rolling for 121 yards on 21 carries. He managed 15 points on the day and was a solid option (13th overall). My bad.
Brandon Lloyd: 2 catches for 33 yards – your welcome.

Ask Papa Weimer: Week 3
Posted on September 19, 2008 by Papa Weimer
Questions and Answers – let the evil genius do his dirty work!!!
Billiam from Southy writes, “Do you really think the Patriots have a chance to win the Super Bowl without Tom in attendance? I just can’t see the Colts doing much without Peyton, the Cowboys doing anything without Romo, and even the Steelers doing work against Pittsburgh – how can the Pats still have a chance?”
Well Billiam (Bill and Williams meshing in one is pure brilliance), I have a feeling Pats do indeed have a chance, and there is one reason why – Bill Belichick. The real Evil Genius has his work cut out for him, no doubt about that, but he can still game plan for anything, this is just considered an extreme challenge. I couldn’t think about a tougher way to win a Super Bowl, or a more awkward pre-season to lose your league MVP – but yes, I still like the Pats chances just about as much as anyone else in the AFC. It’s funny, there were a few seconds there where Cassel looked like he was getting cut, Gutierrez was easily outplaying him, and Matt was really struggling. When you add that to the fact that Cassel looked terrible in his only action last year, it seemed his time in New England was just about over. Then Matt Gutie was cut, Tom was hurt, and here Matt is, the team’s success unpredictably in his hands. I love it. Not as many points- not as many chances on the field -but I still like the Pats to win 11 or 12 and be a tough out in the playoffs.
Douglas from the O asks, “Do you think Jonathan Stewart has officially become the #1 guy in Carolina? I may be a little biased, having taken some classes with Jon last season, but he looks like the better runner and it seems like Carolina is going to him with the game on the line. Can I start him this week?”
You may be biased, but you hit this one right in the O. Except I wouldn’t start him this week, not against Minnesota. I also wouldn’t say he is the “official #1” – in fact, he’s the “official #2” – but very similar to Maurice Jones Drew the last couple years in Jacksonville, the #2 is a better option that the #1 and it seems like hardheadedness and veteran favortism are the only reasons the “backups” aren’t getting more looks. I can see why both Fred Taylor and DeAngelo are starting, don’t get me wrong, but I also see a lot of value and some dynamic ability from these back-ups. Hold on to your former classmate, I think his time will come, and he’ll be one hell of a start.
Rollie from Anchorage says, “How do you like you some Steve Smith this weekend? Would you start him over Eddie Royal and Dwayne Bowe?”
Rollie, you bet. I love me some Steve Smith, and while Eddie Royal looks like a great option, and Bowe doesn’t look like a bad ride either, Steve is probably pretty amped to help his team considering they went 2-0 without him, and he’s the best player in this bunch. As much as anyone, (besides maybe my nephew), I like Eddie Royal – but Steve Smith is what Royal can only hope to become. He’s a less polished version of Smith right now, and while he does play against New Orleans, it’s not like Minnesota’s secondary is solid either. Bowe goes up against the Falcons, a secondary that is also poor, but he has Tyler Thigpen throwing him the ball – could be decent for Dwayne, but he doesn’t have Jake Delhomme or Jay Cutler throwing him the ball, right? Go with Steve Rollie!

Five for Friday: Week 3
Posted on September 19, 2008 by luckylester
Here goes nothing…
That whole thing about Calvin Johnson being a great receiver – yeah, it’s true. This kid is going to dominate yardage totals this season in the NFL. Brandon Marshall and his destructive ways are getting a lot of hype right now, and reasonably so, he caught about 20 balls in his first week of action. But this week Calvin Johnson goes up against the rickety 49ers defense and he’s going off. Nobody in the league can guard this beast of a receiver that has elite speed. Top 3 this year – and all of those guys that did risk it a little and reach for him – nice work.
Steve Smith to pull a Brandon Marshall? It seems to perfect for Smith, right? Steve goes off against the Vikings in his past, and now, after punching his teammate in the face with a blind side shot, he comes back from a two game suspension and who does he see? Purple people eaters everywhere. I’ve been dying to get Smith in my lineup, and I have to believe that he’ll have a little something special for us in Week 3. Its not like they are running against the Vikes – that’s for sure.
If you have a Bronco – start him. Okay, if you own Darrell Jackson, don’t start him, but the rest of these guys are fair game. That means Cutler, Royal, Young, Marshall, Scheffler, and maybe even Andre Hall. The Saints are a bad defense when healthy, and right now they look like the Seahawks receiving corps. Pretty soon they’ll be hiring ex-players that they kicked off their team years ago – aghem, Koren Robinson drop.
Is it fair to say that I was wrong about Larry Johnson? I’m kind of interested as to why he isn’t getting touches for the pathetic Chiefs offense. I understand he had 10 carries for 22 yards last week, but really, who is a better option? And why would you take one of the best bruisers the league has and remove him from goal line packages? I’m beginning to think either LJ has lost his game (ala John Daily after the turn) or Herman Edwards and the Chiefs front office are just plain crazy. It’s hard not to start him if you got him, I mean he’s not really going up a defensive front that will scare you. Take one last chance on him, that’s my best advice.
I’ve already used the Giants and Patriots (in reverse order) for my survival pool, and that’s why I’m going with the Bills this week. I know, they are the Bills, but this team has a little something. I’m trying to jinx myself here I guess, but I’ve never lost a survivor pool in my life. Mind that I’ve only played two seasons of no hit ball, but I am two for two. The Bills have a great match-up against a pretty soft Raiders group. That bodes well for them, especially in Buffalo. Both the Pats and Giants are solid options as well. What was my best survivor pick of all time you ask? (Or I want to tell you, either way) The Rams over the Saints last season. If you go back, you’ll see that the Rams were winless and playing a Saints team that had won a few in a row. The Rams win. I win. And even better, the two teams I beat picked the Saints. Nothing is better than winning a survivor pool taking a big underdog against the huge favorite your buddy just took.

Three for Thursday: Week 2
What Would I do for a Klondike Bar? How about a healthy offensive line!: More than a couple quarterbacks are pondering that exact question this week, and that should make you worry too. That’s right, the Jaguars, Seahawks, Vikings, and Colts are all down at least one key guy on their respective offensive lines. The Jags, Hawks, and Colts look to be really hurting, while it’s just Tarvaris Jackson’s blind-side hurting in Minnesota. This week, the Jags play the Bills, a tough defensive front, and their offensive fantasy players should all be downgraded because of it. The Vikings play the Colts, so play them at will. The Colts, in turn, play the Vikes, that can’t be a good match-up for Joseph Addai, and Peyton might have to throw a little quicker, but he’s still a nice play. The Hawks go up against the 49ers, and if there was ever a good time to play Julius Jones, it’s probably now, but he, by no means, is a safe bet – even against that defensive line in San Fran. I’m just saying, the health of the big guys (or lack there of) is a big reason for success (or lack there of). Keep that in mind when setting your lineups.
What a Year for Rookies? Or what a first week?: It has often been said that rookies can’t be trusted unless they are running backs put into a great situation. Some have beaten that advice (Larry Fitz, even more so Anquan Boldin, Michael Clayton, Dwayne Bowe had a solid year, and a couple others for sure) but for the most part, there are more rookies with nice weeks than nice innagural seasons. Still, I can’t help but recognize the difference makers throughout this rookie class – and you should take notice as well. Guys not picked in the first round, players like Eddie Royal, DeSean Jackson, Kevin Smith, Matt Forte, John Carlson – and then 1st rounders like Stewart, Mendenhall, Chris Johnson, Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Matt Ryan – these guys all seem pretty legit. Was week 1 just a coming out part for the rooks, and week 2 will be a blast of reality? It’s tough to say, but right now I’m going with the greatness of this class that was supposed to be void of solid receivers and high on super talents that hadn’t figured it out yet. Eddie Royal and DeSean Jackson, among others, figured out how to rock week 1 like a champ.
The Great Wall of… CINCINNATI?: Don’t bet on it. The Titans look to be a team destined to have two 100+ yard rushers in the same week for the first time this year. Kerry Collins has the deep arm to keep the Bengals secondary honest, and even then, it’s not as if they can tackle. Good luck catching Chris Johnson, and even better luck trying to bring down the bulk that is LenDale White. This box score is going to look like a Navy football game – run, run, and then run some more. Maybe a better question is what are the Bengals going to do to fix their offense? Sign Shaunna Alexander… Oh great, that’s going to work wonders! Sigh.

Ten for Tuesday: Week 2
Posted on September 9, 2008 by luckylester
Yeah, Week 1 is officially in the books and I’ve got 10 big ones for Tuesday’s column. Some surprised, some disappointed, and then their were guys that had my jaw dropping – both good and bad. Read up and see who else I liked besides the stellar rookie wideout in Denver, Eddie Royal.
Thomas Brady: I’m not sure if his name is Thomas, but it sounded more formal. Now that he’s done for the year and the Patriots Championship dreams are crushed, I figure using the more somber title is more appropriate. Give your head a shake!!! Tom may be down and out, but the Patriots chances to win are still solid, just like yours. That’s right, just because of one injury it doesn’t mean that you’re down and out. First of all, the Patriots still have one of the best teams in the league, and now they’ll just have to do it with Matt instead of Tom. Trading the best quarterback in the league for a career back-up (yes, even in college Matt was a back-up) isn’t the best deal in the world, but there’s ways to win football games just like there’s ways for you to win at fantasy. Here are some guys that will manage as the season moves forward. Chad Pennington, Matt Ryan, JaMarcus Russell, Jason Campbell, and Tarvaris Jackson (that’s right, they’ll all be decent). Some guys that could be great: Jake Delhomme and Matt Cassel. Matt still has two great receivers and an offense that is genius in what they do. Jake will get Steve Smith back and be even better than he was in Week 1. Don’t lose your marbles because you spent a 1st round pick on a guy that played half a quarter – that dream is dead, move forward, make it work and it will be just that much more refreshing.
Eddie Royal is a Best!: No receiver looked quicker this weekend than Eddie Royal did. Not only did he look awesome, but he should have had another touchdown, but he lined up a foot too far back and some ref decided to be a stickler. So what. This kid is no one-day wonder, and he will do good things even as Brandon Marshall comes back. He’s a tireless worker and has the respect of everyone that means anything on that Bronco team. Don’t pass up the chance to get him if he’s still available.
Chris Johnson: Told you. I’ve been saying it for a long time, and I figure now is the time where everyone believes me. Honestly, I’m not sure if he’ll do as well with Kerry Collins in, because now defenses don’t have to worry about Vince running, but he should still get more carries than LenDale White. Don’t trade the world for him, but if you can pick him up, or give some sad Brady owner a decent new starting quarterback to get him, I’d jump on it.
And the Bush Growith: I missed on this prediction – that’s for sure. The Bucs had always held Bush to very little, but on Sunday Reggie showed us a little something. Hopefully that big performance and game winning touchdown gives the kid a little more confidence. I don’t know how a guy that gets to follow that Kim girl’s butt around can lack so much confidence, but he has rarely looked like a confident back. I’m not sure if this is a thing to come, but prior to the pre-season I was really high on Bush. I thought he’d score more touchdowns this season than any other year, and the way he was utilized on Sunday, I might have to go back to that prediction. Go Reggie! Go Kim!
Mike Tuner for President: In just about every single draft I had I picked this guy. There were a lot of reasons for that, but 220 yards and 2 touchdowns on 20 touches wasn’t one of them. That’s right, even my lofty expectations weren’t that high. And now, now that I’ve seen what Turner can do in that new offensive scheme in Atlanta, I think he has a chance in 2008 to take the presidency. You won’t be able to get him – probably, but if you Steven Jackson owners know what’s good for you, you’ll try to trick an unsuspecting Turner owner into a great “value” trade. You Turner owners should ignore that stupid term and worse idea – but not everyone reads this article (unfortunately) so do what you can do.
Seattle’s Raining Receivers: They are coming down like cats and dogs. First Branch at the end of last season. Then Engram. Now Burleson. Nate had a lot of upside coming in, and many fantasy owners, such as myself, were expecting big things from the talented wideout. So sad, so sorry, so long for that idea. Nate is out for the year. But this is the time to go get Deion Branch and maybe Engram too. You can probably stash them on your IR, if your league has one, and even then, it’s likely that both receivers have more value than some #5 and #6 receivers you have right now. They might play as early as Week 3, and probably by the Hawks 4th game of the season. Do work early and be happy later.
Dallas Does Debbie – err, Cleveland: Okay, feel free to look back at my Five for Friday article to properly appreciate this prediction. The Cowboys looked brilliant where the Browns looked like, well, like everyone expected the Browns to be last season before they turned everything around. You know what, here’s a quote from my article on Friday, “The Cowboys are going to do what the Colts did to the Saints to start the ‘07 season, and many a people are going to be seen ripping out their hair because they put all their chips in the Brown doo-doo. Nobody likes brown doo-doo. But when this does happen, feel free to take advantage of those hair-rippers. Unlike you, most fantasy fans erupt prematurely like the apple pie kid. Week 1 and 2 are times where calm people build season-long dynasties.” There – now if you didn’t read that, then at least you get the gist of what’s important now (also known as W.I.N).
Duddly Do Rights: The Eagles did everything right against the Rams. Defensively, but especially offensively, there was no team more wide open and efficient in what they did than Philly. The Eagles are known for their ability to lay an egg or two, from time to time, but they sure kicked the season off with a full-blown shellacking. Atlanta looked glorious against the Lions. It wasn’t only Mike Turner – it was everyone in Atlanta’s offense. Matt Ryan looks like the read deal, one of the best quarterback prospects in a while, Jerious Norwood looked good too, and so did that receiving corps. In the chances they got, this team flourished all over. You have to love that for a Falcons group that has gone through some turmoil in the recent past. Denver did work, too. Their best receiver might not have been the guy that had to sit this game out after all. Okay, too fast? Maybe. But Eddie Royal is the sure-thing #2 for a reason. He’ll be special when his career is over. And Jay Cutler is going to be a great one. Not a good one. Not a pro-bowler. He’s going to be an MVP type hall-of-famer by the time his career is over. Denver did a lot of good, and a lot of it was because of Jay.
Duddly Do Wrongs: Cincinnati – to start with, everything. Carson looked bad, but the routes were shoddy, the defense was horrendous, and the offensive line had me thinking Carson was going to join Tom in an “out for the year” scenario. Marvin Lewis better get back to the drawing board before Bengals’ brass send it out in a box. Seattle – where or where have you gone? I know the receiving corps is depleted, but ask Donovan McNabb, is that any reason to leave your game in Seattle? The Hawks need to run the ball more and ask an injured Matt Hasselbeck to do less. The load rests on Julius Jones’ shoulders next week – I think he’ll step up. Houston – defensively, you are worrying me. You have solid linebackers, two great defensive linemen, and while that doesn’t mean your secondary is great, it does mean you shouldn’t give up 130+ yards to Willie Parker and crew. Show me something next week, but more importantly, don’t leave your game at home when you play on the road – that garbage is embarrassing. Still, Schaub is going to be good, and Andre Johnson will light up the airways with him.
Trick Love the Kids: Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, and Ray Rice – There are other kids I like as well, but these three guys should run wild next week in their respective match-ups. Chris will torment a Bengals team that can’t tackle a slow 7th grader. Matt Forte will give the Panthers defense more yards than LT did last week, And Ray Rice will have more yards on less carries against the Texans. There it is, Ten for Tuesday. See you tomorrow!

NFL Free Picks REVIEW: Week 1
It all started very nicely with a Giants cover at home against the Skins – faltered a little in the morning games and then shot back up in the afternoon/night games to finish off the week. Overall the record looks decent after picking every game in Week 1 I finished at 10-6… People in “the business” might say that I’m riding a 6 game winning streak headed into Week 2 – I think that term is ridiculous, but check it out for yourself!
Washington Redskins @ New York Giants (-3): (7-16: WINNER!) “The Redskins could become a solid unit later in the season, but early on I still expect them to make mistakes with their new systems. Jim Zorn is a good coach, and Jason Campbell should flourish under his tutelage, but Zorn is no miracle worker and the Skins should still struggle to find consistency. Expect the Giants to grind one out to open the season,” – There were a couple things that I got right, surely, one being the game – which is nice, and the other being the plethora of mistakes the Redskins would make in their opening game under Jim Zorn. But I also said, “Jim Zorn is a good coach,” which is probably a stretch. What I should have said was, I think Zorn will be a very good coach. Because right now, he’s just a rookie, and he’s calling plays – so he’s really putting himself in a tough spot. But they’ll get better – I’m just happy I took the Giants in this one, and am even happier that James Thrash let a last minute touchdown slip through his fingers. Yhatzee!
Cincinnati Bengals (pk) @ Baltimore Ravens: (10-17: LOSS) “I really dislike both of these teams. I didn’t like either much to start with, but then I was basically forced to watch a couple of each team’s pre-season games. Gross. I would say that no team played worse than the Bengals during the pre-season, but I don’t think I could back that up if someone brought up the Ravens.” This one was pretty ugly, but that was because we had to watch the Bengals on offense and defense. I’ve never seen Carson Palmer look so bad in my entire life. I’ve seen that defense look this bad, however. I was wrong about the Bengals putting some points on the board, and I probably didn’t give the Ravens defense enough credit. Either that or the Bengals are really, really bad. I’ll decide which one later in the week. Remember, I warned you, I really didn’t like this game. If I’m not feeling good about a game, I will let you know in my picks section.
New York Jets (-3) @ Miami Dolphins: (20-14: WINNER!) Miami played better than I expected, and really had a chance down the stretch to tie it up, but only because the Jets squandered some opportunities. I’ll tell you what, I’m not believing the Jets as a top AFC team quite yet, even with a narrow week 1 win over the powerhouse Dolphins. I’ll take my win here, that’s for sure – because in any game a win is a win. Thomas Jones rushed for 100+ and scored a touchdown, showing me the improvement on New York’s offensive line.
Kansas City Chiefs (+17) @ New England Patriots: (10-17: WINNER!) The Chiefs ran the ball a lot and took a lot of time off the clock – but I must say that Tom Brady’s injury had to help the cause in this one. I may have been a loser if Tom stayed in, and I may have still lost had the Patriots not fumbled the ball all over the field. But my point is this, I won. Despite anything that happened, you have to look at the win-loss column when the games are done being played. The Patriots still won this game but I covered with ease. I’ll take a win however I can get it, right, have I made that clear enough? However, this game gives the Patriots great value down the stretch, in my humble opinion, so keep that in mind as the season moves on. I also like the Chiefs under Huard – I think he makes them a better bet when he’s under center.
Houston Texans (+7) @ Pittsburgh Steelers: (38-17: LOSS) “Maybe it’s because I’m an old offensive guard, but I have a feeling that Alan Fanneca’s absence will hurt the Steelers just as much as his place in New York will help the Jets. The one thing that has me questioning myself is the Texans on the road versus the Steelers at home. The Steelers only lost to the Jaguars in Pittsburgh last season, having their way with most other opponents. The Texans won just two games on the road, versus a bad Panthers team and an even worse Raiders team. They didn’t lose by less than 8 in any of their road losses. I’m not a lover of last years’ numbers, so I’m not changing my pick here – I’m just warning you readers.” Okay, a couple things about capping games. Really, you can find reasons to take either side of any game, it’s the side that makes the most sense to you that is important. Well, in most cases. In this case, I thought Fanneca’s absence would hurt the Steelers rushing attack – I was dead wrong about that because Willie Parker hasn’t looked better than he did on Sunday and Big Ben only had to throw 11 times all day. Also, I was right about the road woes the Texans go through and the confidence the Steelers have at home. I probably was excited about the Texans this season, and put too much weight in the absence of one guy in Pittsburgh. The Steelers sure looked good on opening night. And by the way, 38-17 and it wasn’t that close.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans (+3): (7-16: WINNER!) “The Titans are a very tough defense that plays inspired at home. I know the Jaguars are solid, and they’ve looked very good in the pre-season compared to the Titans who have looked absent, but Tennessee as a 3 point dog at home against a beat up Jaguars offense? I can’t find any value in the Jaguars here, so the bet has to go with Tennessee.” What can I say, this game was close just like I knew it would be. And what else do you know, the Titans defense played out of their minds and looked brilliant against a beat up Jaguars offense. From time to time I like my style enough to give myself a back pat, this is one of those times.
Detroit Lions (-3) @ Atlanta Falcons: (21-34: LOSS) “This game isn’t going to be a blowout, but I don’t see the Falcons having enough secondary talent to keep the Lions receiving corps out of the end-zone. I like the Falcons more than most, and am not crazy about the Lions – I just don’t think this is a good match-up for Atlanta. The Falcons will find success on the ground, but Detroit will eventually realize that they can pick on the rookie quarterback a little bit – stack the box a lot – and end up winning this game by a touchdown or more.” Oh Detroit! The Lions probably would have got smoked either way, and maybe 9 Lions in the box doesn’t mean they can stop Michael Turner – I don’t even know if 11 would do it. The Falcons ran all over the Lions, and while the Falcons secondary wasn’t good enough to completely keep the Lions receivers out of the end-zone, they sure did a good enough job while getting 34 points from their offense. I liked the Falcons more than most, and I still do, I just dislike the Lions more than I did in the first place.
Seattle Seahawks (+1) @ Buffalo Bills: (10-17: LOSS) I expected the Seahawks to fly to Buffalo, play an entire football game, and possibly walk away with a win. Instead, the Husky’s got in Hawk uniforms, flew to Buffalo, were obviously frightened of the physicality involved, looked like a poor college team playing against a decent NFL team and the score reflects that. I’m not positive that’s what happened, but it’s my best guess. I watched most of this game and it didn’t look good for Hawk fans. This, and the upcoming Colts game, made me think – is it just me or do teams with retiring coaches struggle to find somebody to play for? Hmmm… It’s something to think about. Holmgren and Dungy are both most likely to coach for one more season – both teams played terrible – coincidence?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3.5) @ New Orleans Saints: (20-24: LOSS) The Bucs missed some key opportunities and still had a chance late in this game. The score went back and forth and this one was very close. I still like the Bucs to be the better of the two teams, and I think play calling hurt the Bucs chances a bit in this one. Anytime you have a running back that carries the ball 10 times for 90+ yards in a close game, you should have probably given him the ball a few more times. I took a half point loss, but it didn’t feel quite so bad because I still finished strong in Week 1.
St. Louis Rams (+8.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles: (3-38: LOSS) “What can I say? I really like the Rams as a huge dog in Philly.” What can I say? I watched this game a little and immediately felt like an idiot. The Rams hurt my feelings and I will forever use voodoo and witch doctor magic spells to torment coaches and players from now until my dying day. No, but honestly, the Rams looked worse than any other team in the league. I can’t imagine they are this bad, nor do I believe that the Eagles are this good – but the Eagles are better than I gave them credit for, and the Rams don’t look like a team, they look like Dorothy’s worse nightmare – the Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow all mashed into one mindless, heartless, courageless unit. Discouraging to say the least.
Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) @ Cleveland Browns: (28-10: WINNER!) “I don’t know if I’m willing to buy the Cowboys as this season’s Super Bowl favorite, but I will tell you that I’m ready to purchase the Browns as this year’s big disappointment. I liken the Browns to New Orleans last year – and this game is going to be a tough one for them.” I’m not sure if the Browns will lose four straight to start the year or continue to look as dejected as New Orleans was to start their 2007 campaign – but this was a very similar start for the Browns. I’m not fortune teller, but I can see a comparison when it jumps out in front of me – this one looks obvious. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Carolina Panthers (+10) @ San Diego Chargers: (26-24: WINNER!) “I kind of like Carolina to put up a battle in this one. The Panthers defense is the unit that looks good to me. Peppers will be better after a down season and Jon Beason is going to be one heck of a linebacker in this league. Look for the Panthers to stay within single digits and give an overhyped Chargers team a run for their money on opening day. Plus, the Panthers are always solid value as a dog,” History was on my side in this one. The Panthers may have been pretty lucky to get the win (I liken Rosario’s catch to Dwight Clark’s catch, he just pulled it out of the sky) but this cover was never in doubt. The tandem of Williams and Stewart looked and played more efficient than LT and the Charger’s rushing attack, and Jake Delhomme was the old, accurate quarterback that he always is when healthy. The Panthers won a big one as a road dog – weird.
Arizona Cardinals (-2.5) @ San Francisco 49ers: (23-13: WINNER!) This game was pretty ugly, but one things stuck out to me – Frank Gore is really good. The Cardinals were all over this guy and he still had one hell of a game. He should be something in this offense, because he just had a very nice game against an underrated Cardinals defense. Still, the 49ers couldn’t pull off the upset, and Arizona managed the game will without forcing anything. That’s a good way to win against a bad team. I didn’t expect Kurt and company to play so smart – but I’ll take it.
Chicago Bears (+10.5) @ Indianapolis Colts: (7-16: WINNER!) “The Colts defense looked bad during the pre-season, really bad, and while that doesn’t always mean the world is falling, I can’t see it as a good sign of things to come. I think Kyle Orton is a relatively mistake free quarterback and that bodes well for the Bears covering as big dogs. I think Chicago will actually run the ball pretty effectively against the Colts, even though the Bears don’t have a stellar offensive line. Manning will be slow to come back, and despite what he wants you to believe, he’s not 100%.” Well alright! Some times you cap a game, garner some nice predictions, and look like you’ve done this before (See Titans/Jaguars). And other times you look like a complete moron (see Eagles/Rams). But this isn’t either of those times, this is one of those times where you look like a damned fortune teller. Believe it or not I don’t time travel and I know nothing sure about the future. But I did drop a dime deep pass on this game. I may have been the only one expecting the Bears to run all over the Colts and have Indy look silly. But sometimes it’s nice to be different, and when you call it you call it. I take the bumps, lumps, and bruises – so now I’ll take the cake and eat it. All of it.
Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers (-2):(7-16: WINNER!) “Aaron Rodgers is better than anyone is giving him credit for, but on this team he won’t have to be. Aaron won’t take all the big chances that Brett took, and while he won’t be as flashy or tally up the numbers like #4, he will give the Packers a great chance to win each time he takes the field. Don’t give up on the Packers just because Brett is wearing a different color green.” You have to admit, I am right about Rodgers. He was 18-22 on the night and looks like a kid that really knows the game. He’ll throw a minimal amount of interceptions and keep his team in the game. He can make all the throws – don’t confuse him for Chad Pennington or Kyle Orton. He’s got something, and I like it. The Vikings didn’t game plan very well for this one. If they run the ball more, the might have won this game. Still, they had a chance. But it wasn’t as close as the score. The Packers left a lot of points on the field, so feel free to ride them early. They’ll probably be a good bet in the beginning of the season here.
Denver Broncos (-1) @ Oakland Raiders: (7-16: WINNER!) This was easier than I thought. The Broncos dominated this game like the Eagles dominated the Rams, like the Cowboys smashed the Browns. Denver looked good and the only guy looking better than Jay Cutler last night was his starting rookie receiver, Eddie Royal. This kid is my new favorite player. He’s as quick as any receiver in the league and he’s fearless. Virginia Tech didn’t use him because they didn’t have the quarterback – but Denver does, and watch him blow this league up from the get go.
10-6 – Not a bad start for the good guys!

Semi-analytic tableaux for propositional modal logics of nonmonotonicity (1993)

On Computational Interpretations of the Modal Logic S4 I. Cut Elimination

A language of constructions for minimal logic is the -calculus, where cut-elimination is encoded as fi-reduction. We examine corresponding languages for the minimal version of the modal logic S4, with notions of reduction that encodes cut-elimination for the corresponding sequent system. It turns out that a natural interpretation of the latter constructions is a -calculus extended by an idealized version of Lisp's eval and quote constructs. In this first part, we analyze how cut-elimination works in the standard sequent system for minimal S4, and where problems arise. Bierman and De Paiva's proposal is a natural language of constructions for this logic, but their calculus lacks a few rules that are essential to eliminate all cuts. The S4 - calculus, namely Bierman and De Paiva's proposal extended with all needed rules, is confluent. There is a polynomial-time algorithm to compute principal typings of given terms, or answer that the given terms are not typable. The typed S4-calculus te...
...ere is at most one rule that applies to get to a new sub-goal. It is a well-known fact, at least in the classical S4 case, that the deduction system of Section 3.4 without (Cut) is sound and complete =-=[Gor93]-=-. We shall prove it syntactically in the intuitionistic case. The second reason why we want to eliminate cuts, that is to apply cut-elimination, not just to wish cuts were not there, stems from the fu...

REVIEW: The Land’s Heart -Burden Of Generational Hurt Or Joy Of Coffee With Friends
As we wrap up Heads Up Festival on Day 4, we find Michelle Dee between worlds, simultaneously in the past, the present and the future.
Ivo Theatre’s The Land’s Heart is Greater Than Its Map speaks on many levels. It is a film/installation located in a fictional city called Yaboos while represented on screen by a real place where real people exist. The place is largely known to us in the west through news stories about occupation and conflict. The narrator is a once mute boy who used to believe that words were useless, but in some ways he is also the father and the grandfather in the piece.
Devised and developed by Olivia Furber, Ramzi Maqdisi, 9t Antiope and Hannah Mason it is described as an alternative guided tour of a city where truth is stranger than fiction.
You are walking through the colourful throng of the narrow market streets, sidestepping the man carrying a pile of freshly baked loaves, piled enticingly on a tray. You follow your guide up stone steps, the edges worn away by countless thousands stepping before you, to marvel at the gold domes of the temples glinting in the sunlight. You shrink back from the gleaming sight as he explains, how some of the builders were exposed to the highly toxic mercury mixed in with the gold, and paid a heavy price.
The Land’s Heart uses a travel documentary approach to tell a story that is both true and fictional, and this is where the work becomes yet more amorphous. I’m sat asking the question why did the artists choose to frame the work in such a way, what can they do within this work, that they couldn’t do with a straight documentary about life in the city? I think the clue is in the title, it is about bypassing the names on the map and the negotiated records of history, in order to uncover the emotional undercurrent, the heart of Yaboos.
At times the imagery is contradictory showing perhaps a tempered normality, in one shot you see fences and soldiers, in another a fairground with swingboats and roundabouts. The old man slowly going up the steps where the boy is kicking the ball resonates with the symmetry of the father in one window, staring out at the city and the reflection of the now dead grandfather in the other.
There are contrasting worlds sat side by side with the ornate temples, their presence and status sustained by worship and prayer, set against ugly reinforced concrete blocks. Their presence tolerated only after undergoing a shift in the imagination, to now see them celebrated as objects of veneration, and not reminders of occupation.
Memory plays a huge part in this work, real memories that encroach on our todays. There’s a moment in the film where the young boy is taken by his grandfather, to a place called the Bell Garden. The elderly man says something about not coming back ,and at that moment I thought he was going to do an Aslan, and cross over the other side. In a strange way he already had. Stood rooted to the spot there in the Bell Garden, he is seeing how it was years before and carrying the hurt. In many ways this work is all about the effect and burden of generational hurt. It is heartbreaking to see how one after the other each are nullified by the intractable nature of living divided, once again reminding the viewer about the importance of having a voice and using it.
Analogies to western politics, current issues that have divided nations, are easily derived from the description of opposing forces, not listening, becoming blinded: government deliberately dismissing their responsibilities to the people, introducing methods to control the population, corrupting democracy through selling fear, it’s becoming all too familiar.
I like the poetry and imagery of the past enforcers all leaving their mark on the city, on the stone, going down through layers deep into the ground. These unstable foundations engaged in a constant struggle. By listening and feeding of whoever the most powerful voice of the day might be, they can rise up like ghosts and try to build their own version of Jerusalem.
You could read all that into it or it could just remind you of the luxury, many take for granted, of being able to have coffee with friends whenever you like.

Is ‘Left Field Bass’ The New Dubstep?
A sub-genre takes root with former Santa Cruz DJ Pushloop and Partywave
Partywave plays with Pushloop at the Catalyst on Saturday, May 4.
By Mat Weir
The friendship between electronic producers Partywave and Pushloop started out of mutual admiration. A year ago, they both played the underground electronic music festival Untz Festival in Mariposa. Partywave was an unannounced special guest, and the guy who went on right before him blew his mind.
That was Pushloop, who started DJing in Santa Cruz in 2009 but now resides in Auburn. He had a similar reaction to Partywave and says that after seeing each other’s sets they had an “instant bond.”
“He makes some really vibe-y beats and always has great atmosphere and texture,” Pushloop says of his tourmate.
Now, they’re close friends, influencing each other’s music and currently in the midst of an eight-week West Coast string of shows called the Elements Tour. They roll through the Catalyst here in Santa Cruz on Saturday, May 4.
Give one listen to either of the underground producers’ heavy beats and it’s easy to understand their bond. Both draw deeply from the West Coast bass style, laying down alien noises as impenetrable beats float through a thick cloud of echoing psychedelic smoke. Once upon a time, their individual sounds would’ve been called dubstep, but that’s such a broad genre these days that new labels are needed. Partwave already has a name for their particular sub-genre.
“People have been calling it ‘left field bass,’” Partywave says.
It’s an apt name, with bone-rattling wobbles acting as a launching pad for their distinct melodic weirdness, sending audiences into a time-dripping hole of sound. It’s fresh. It’s dance-y. It’s fun. It makes you feel like everything is melting without drugs. And apparently left field bass is on the rise. The two have built an underground army of followers, boasting a collective 23,000 Soundcloud fans.
“I think the name is accurate. It’s much deeper and heavier,” Partywave says, compared to standard bass music.
Where Pushloop will gravitate to the darker, grittier regions of his music, Partywave tends to keep things more upbeat and light, but still firmly grounded in the traditions of bass music. Maybe it’s his low-key San Diego background, or the fact that he has spent the last four years of his life lounging in Hawaii.
But the two DJs are starting to rub off on each other. Partywave’s latest Soundcloud mix Moon has a much darker sound that his previous efforts. There’s also a yet-to-be-named track on there that the two producers worked on together. It’s new territory for both. They go past simply gritty or upbeat and create a textured sound that is almost mystic, with a beat that sounds produced by an ancient alien civilization.
“We both share a similar vision. I had a great time collaborating with him,” Pushloop says.
Time will tell, but this could mark the beginning of a new era for the producer freshly moved back to the mainland—as in, he moved back to California the day before the tour.
“So basically, here’s the plan: I’m going to tour, tour, tour, until I don’t feel like it anymore,” he says. “Which could be the end of this year, could be next year. Who knows what’s going to happen.”
But even if he does eventually take a break from the road, or just cuts back to a few shows a year, Partywave says he’ll never stop making music, and he plans to continue pushing the wave of momentum with his current collaboration into the future. Pushloop intends to release a lot more music this year, though he can’t talk about it because he’s under contract.
“For now, we’re just doing the one song, but talked about doing an EP,” Partywave says. “We’ll definitely collab on something later.”
The Elements Tour starts at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, at the Catalyst Club Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10 adv/$15 door. 423-1338.

251 more nurses certified
Home » rdtqrvcl » 251 more nurses certified
admin rdtqrvcl No Comments
Two hundred and fifty-one students graduated from the Georgetown School of Nursing on Thursday. This number comprises 110 professionally registered nurses, 56 midwives and 85 nursing assistants.Leola Charles, a graduate from the Professional Nursing Programme of the Georgetown School of Nursing, and now a registered nurse, has emerged as the 2018 valedictorian. Charles, along with others, received special awards for their outstanding performances and special skills demonstrated throughout their course of studies.This year’s graduation marks the school’s 31st Biennial ceremony, where scores of young professionals have received certification to provide services in the public health sector. The graduation exercise was hosted at the National Cultural Centre.In her valedictory speech, Charles encouraged her batch along with those who have completed other programmes, to be trailblazers in their respective fields, as they transition fully into the world of work.“Let us leave a trail that others will be proud to follow. Class of 2018, as graduates, we face many uncertainties in both the immediate and distant future; however, it’s up to us to make a difference to have people say honourable things about us and leave the impression that you never gave up on yourself,” Charles is quoted by the Department of Public Information as saying.Charles was the recipient of the Public Health Minister’s Award and the first-ever PAHO/WHO award among several others in recognition of her stellar performanceValedictorian Leola Charles receives her award from Public Health Minister Volda Lawrenceboth in theory and clinical practices.In her address to the gathering, Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence said since her appointment to the sector, she has worked assiduously with the faculty of health sciences and education to make necessary changes to nursing education.To this end, the Minister expressed her confidence in the graduating batch’s preparedness to be deployed into the public health system. She further added that the citizens of Guyana can be reassured of quality health services being delivered to them by these professionals.The graduates were also encouraged to demonstrate an excellent level of patient care as they all have an important role to play as servants in the public health sector.“We at the Ministry recognise that you are the pillars of a sustainable and an effective health system the core of the next generation of nurses on whom Guyana will depend for a resilient and robust health structure,” Minister Lawrence said.Midwife Ann Ferguson-Goppy, registered Nurse Melissa Emanuel and Nursing Assistant, Sherl Daniels, all excitedly highlighted their journey to completing their individual programmes.The graduation ceremony saw several persons from this year’s batch receiving special awards in the areas of interpersonal skills, management and leadership qualities and overall outstanding performances in theoretical studies and clinical practices.Among those graduating was Batch 125A, who was a part of approximately 200 students, who retook the State Final Examinations and attained 100 per cent passes in 2017. This batch received timepieces compliments of PAHO/WHO in recognition of their overwhelming performance.The Georgetown-based nursing school have over the years been hit by many controversies. Last year, 150 students who wrote the nursing exams, which were allegedly compromised, had to rewrite the exams.An investigation was launched after it was reported that the nurse’s examination papers were leaked before the sitting and assessment of 250 nursing students.

10 Most Destructive Weather-Related Disasters (With Caveats)
Determining the most destructive weather-related disasters in history is deceptively hard.
What constitutes destruction?
You can count lives lost, but that skews heavily toward the late 19th and early 20th centuries when urban populations grew much faster than the ability for populations to be warned or evacuated. You can count property damage, but that skews to the last 50 years when expensive, extensive and aging infrastructure has collapsed like sand castles.
Do you include events like famines, which by definition involve short-sighted, grotesque or just plain murderous government decisions? Whole civilizations have again and again obliterated themselves this way.
But determine we must, so here’s my list of 10, with caveats. I’m not counting famines, given the bloody thumbs resting on the scale of horror. And I’m counting the only factors that will always matter — lives lost. In all cases, death tolls are estimates.
10. 1991 Bangladesh Cyclone; 138,000 dead
In lands so close to sea level, the misery and death of a cyclone can go on for weeks.
Many shelters built after the 1970 Bhola cyclone (see No. 5) sat all but empty as this particularly fast storm ran ashore.
Residents either forgot where the shelters were, forgot how powerful major cyclones can be or both. The result was massive drownings.
9. China’s 1935 Yangtze river flood; 145,000 dead
The Yangtze is one of China’s storied rivers (the other being the Yellow, which we’ll hear about in a minute). The 1930s were a particularly deadly period for the Yangtze, with catastrophic floods in 1931 and 1935. The latter disaster was akin to removing the population of a major U.S. suburb from the planet.
8. Super Typhoon Nina, 1975, China; 231,000 dead
Nina took out the Banqiao Dam, unleashing more floods that, in turn, took out more dams....
Nina was one of the first modern monsters to attack Asia.
It would have killed tens of thousands all by itself, but it was able to destroy the Banqiao Dam thereby setting in motion a regional game of death-dominoes. Dam after dam fell, each loosing another wall of racing water.
7. 1881 Haiphong Cyclone, Vietnam; 300,000 dead
A scene that would have looked all to familiar, even back in 1881.
Just as the U.S. has its Tornado Alley, Southeast Asia has a cyclone corridor, which runs right over Haiphong.
6. India Cyclone, 1839; at least 300,000 dead
Even major floods are as much a part of India's culture as henna art.
The harbor city of Coringa was so devastated by this cyclone’s 40-foot storm surge that it was never completely rebuilt.
Fully 20,000 boats were destroyed, and with them, the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands.
It’s not like this tragedy was unheralded. Just 50 years earlier, another cyclone took 20,000 lives in the same region.
5. 1970 Bhola Cyclone, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh); 500,000-1 million dead
The stakes for low-lying Southeast Asia got higher with Bhola.
Some areas of East Pakistan saw mortality rates of almost 50% in the wake of this storm. The mean death rate throughout the impacted region neared one in five.
Out at sea, a 5,500-ton freighter was sunk by the storm, now estimated to have been the equivalent of a category-3 hurricane.
4. China’s 1887 Yellow River flood; 900,000-2 million dead
The Yellow begins innocently enough, but can be a raging tyrant as it moves.
The Yellow, or Hwang He, River could only be a disaster waiting to happen.
One of the world’s longest rivers, it empties a vast portion of China’s watershed area. And it carries a particular sediment, which is yellow, that can make up to 60% of the river’s entire volume.
As the river slows crossing vast plains, the silt settles, broadening the river. When ice dams in Mongolia break loose in the spring, the stage is set for massive flooding. The 1887 flood was one of China’s worst, and that’s saying a lot for a flood-prone nation.
3. The 1931 Yellow River flood; 1,000,000-3,700,000 dead
The water-weary Chinese likely didn't know if they were coming or going in 1931.
This wasn’t really one flood. There wasn’t even one cause.
A two- or three-year drought ended in 1930 with mountainous snows which, of course, melted. Then seven cyclones raked the region.
The Yellow became less of a river than an aorta, pulsing with flood water for a year.
2. 1941 China Drought; 3 million dead
Droughts often are lumped in with famines, but not this one. The nationalist Chinese government was apparently too busy ousting the brutal, invading Japanese army to tinker with agriculture.
A severe drought brought much of the nation’s interior to its knees before wiping out a population greater than modern-day Chicago.
1. 1918-1919 El Nino; complicit in 20 million-100 million deaths
Did El Nino give the Great Flu Pandemic a boost?
This is a shocker. New research indicates that along with troop movements during World War I, the peculiar Pacific weather pattern known as El Nino could have played a significant role in the Great Flu Pandemic.
Scientists say that El Nino was abnormally strong as the pandemic grew, and they don’t think it was a coincidence. El Nino altered weather patterns over the U.S., now believed to have been that flu’s incubator, creating good conditions for transmission. It also caused a historically severe drought in India, weakening that population’s collective immunity to disease.

Year 5 Viking Day
Year 5 have had a fantastic day today. They met a “real” Viking, looked at and held lots of different Viking objects, from horns to spears, shields and swords. The children have found out more about how Vikings raided villages and they know a terrifying Viking battle cry! There were some great costumes on show, too!
Year 3/4 Kwik Cricket
Last Friday afternoon, our cricket team took on 12 different schools in the Telford and Wrekin competition. We won our group games quite comfortably, with the team scoring an amazing amount of runs, confidently picking space in the opposition’s fielding to score more runs. Our semi-final v St Peter and St. Paul Primary was fantastic with quality cricket on show from both teams. After 20 minutes of hard slogging and fielding it came down to 1 run, losing 59-58. We went into the 3rd place playoff, against Wrockwardine Wood Primary, full of confidence, with 3 balls being hit over the boundary and some unbelievable one-handed catches. The children all left with a bronze medal and should be very proud of their achievement!
KS2 NAK (New Age Kurling) Competition
On Tuesday afternoon, we took 3 teams to the Telford and Wrekin competition. There were 50 teams there representing a range of schools from across the area. Each team had to win their group to qualify for the quarter-finals and 2 of our teams fell just short by only losing 1 game. One of our teams qualified magnificently; they went on to win the quarter-final 3-0 against Old Park. The semi-final v Redhill was intense and it came down to the last throw of the stone. Sadly they lost 2-1 and just missed out on a medal, however the team have qualified to represent the county at the School Games. All the children were a fantastic credit to our school.
Y5/6 Boys Cluster League
Yesterday evening was the first of our 5 fixtures in a cluster league against an unbeaten Randlay Primary team. This proved to be a fantastic game of football with two great attacking teams. It was a tough start for John Fletcher going 1-0 down to a great cross. Our goalkeeper made some fantastic saves to keep the goal tally down. A penalty given to Randlay made it 2-0. Just before half-time, John Fletcher finished a great goal from a corner. The team re-grouped, discussed areas where they thought they needed to improve and came out brilliantly, scoring a fantastic team goal. The sunlight was disappearing and the ground was slowly freezing over, John Fletcher just couldn’t find the back of the net and the game had to finish 5 minutes early at 2-2. Thank you to all the parents who braved the cold conditions!
A reminder that club reply slips need to be back by Friday 8 December. Please bear in mind that children in receipt of Pupil Premium Funding are being offered one place at a paying club, delivered by external providers, for the term. For some clubs, there are minimum numbers and, without support, some clubs may not be able to run. Thank you for your continued support.
KS2 Christmas Performance Tickets
Letters were sent home on Wednesday regarding ticket requests for performances. Due to Health & Safety regulations we are restricted to how many people can attend. We will only be allocating 2 tickets in the first instance even if more have been requested. It may be that we have some spare tickets. If this is the case a message will be put on the facebook page and school website and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Flu Immunisation Programme YR – Y4
There are still a number of consent forms that have not been returned. Please can these be returned by Thursday 7 December even if you do not wish your child to receive the flu nasal spray. There is space on the form to indicate reason i.e. they have already had the immunisation. The School Nurses will be in school on Friday 8 December to administer the spray – there is no need for parents to attend.
School Council (written by the School Council)
This week we had our first official meeting. Firstly, we discussed all of the ideas from the school councillors across the school and then we chose the most popular ideas. They were: clubs, dinner menus, new playground equipment and healthy courtyard snacks. We are now currently putting these ideas into action so thank you children for giving us these brilliant ideas!
The Christingle service at St Michael’s on Thursday was a lovely occasion supported by a range of parents and friends. The children sang beautifully and we learnt a lot about the meaning of the Christingle and the work of The Children’s Society.
Congratulations to 1J and 6CN who won this week’s class trophies; both of these were first-time winners. Each week we continue to celebrate the weekly class champions as they are awarded the ‘Oscars’. Special congratulations need to go to one of the Y6 girls who has now maintained her leadership of 6CN’s leaderboard for eleven weeks and who made her first appearance on the UK and World Hall of Fame during the week. So far this year, we have had 12 UK Hall of Fame entrants; eight of whom also achieved World Hall of Fame status. So far this year we have presented 427 Bronze, 83 Silver and 6 Gold certificates. These, along with the Spellodrome certificates, are converted into SMART stamps for Y2-6 children and so help to boost their progress towards their next SMART award.
This week’s winners of the attendance awards are as follows:

NBA Title Contenders
ArtFormss
The National Basketball League’s 2019 season has started and fans are excited about their teams. Since there can only be one winner, every team has an opportunity to make a push for the NBA finals. Why not your team? Over the last few years, parity has been the theme to the NBA. Yes, powerhouses like the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets are perineal favorites to make the Finals, there are a few teams that have a legitimate shot in making it deep into the playoffs.
For this issue, we breakdown four teams not named the Warriors to make the NBA Finals.
1. Los Angeles Clippers – reigning NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard arrival to the team in the offseason sent the NBA in a frenzy. The Clippers (before Leonard) was already in Final aspiration with players like Lou Williams and Patrick Beverley already on the roster. Lead by coach Doc Rivers, the Clippers has its coach imprint and personality all over its roster. That is hard nose defense. The Clippers also bolstered it roster by adding perennial All-star Paul George in free agency. The addition of Leonard and George to an an already defensive minded team, is the main reason why we will see this team in the NBA Finals in the summer of 2020. When the Clippers added the top two players who are considered two-way (outstanding offensive and defensive skills), we anticipate that this team to be in the top three in points allowed per game. That key team statistic will be the reason why the Clippers will be in contention in the post season. As often stated, defense wins championships. This is the formula for the Los Angeles Clippers.
2. Houston Rockets – James Harden and Russel Westbrook. Enough said.
3. Los Angeles Lakers – LeBron James is coming off the worst season in his professional career. Missing time due to injuries, King James failed to make the playoffs. During the offseason, the team made wholesale changes. They made the blockbuster trade that brought Anthony Davis to the organization. Davis is considered the best big man in the NBA with his scoring, rebound and defensive ability. The pairing of King James with AD is something out of a Hollywood script. James (34) does not have spend a lot of energy being focal point of the offense as it will now be ran through Anthony Davis. Davis’ versatility will allow shooters like Danny Green and Kyle Kuzma to flourish. James high NBA IQ and attention detail combined with AD should be enough to thrust to this team into the NBA Finals in June 2020.
4. Milwaukee Bucks – The Bucks were penciled to be in the NBA Finals last year before they ran into the Toronto Raptors. The team is pretty much still in intact. Lead by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks have one of the best all-around teams in the NBA. They should be able to compete in every game. They should be the best team come out of the Eastern Conference which should catapult them to the NBA Finals.

Dupont & Schultz: Towards a New Heuristic Model: Investment Arbitration as a Political System
Cedric G. Dupont (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) & Thomas Schultz (King's College London – Law) have posted Towards a New Heuristic Model: Investment Arbitration as a Political System (Journal of International Dispute Settlement, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
In this introduction to the Special Issue "Empirical Studies on Investment Disputes", we offer a new heuristic model to structure the thinking about investment arbitration. Investment arbitration is presented here as a political system in a sense inspired by David Easton's landmark theory: it transforms the input of key actors (namely states, investors, arbitrators, and arbitration institutions) into output (namely arbitral awards taken in the aggregate), with feedback loops from output to input, leading to or calling for adjustments or other reactions from these actors. We use this model to review some of the leading existing research and bring together key insights offered by the contributions to the issue.
Murphy: New Mechanisms for Punishing Atrocities Committed in Non-International Armed Conflicts
Sean D. Murphy (George Washington Univ. - Law) has posted New Mechanisms for Punishing Atrocities Committed in Non-International Armed Conflicts (Melbourne Journal of International Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
Three core crimes have emerged as a part of the jurisdiction of international criminal tribunals: war crimes; genocide; and crimes against humanity. Only two of these crimes (war crimes and genocide) have been addressed through a global treaty that requires States to prevent and punish such conduct and to cooperate among themselves toward those ends. Yet crimes against humanity may be more prevalent than either genocide or war crimes, and are a recurrent feature in non-international armed conflicts (NIACs).
As such, a global convention on prevention, punishment, and inter-State cooperation with respect to crimes against humanity appears to be a key missing piece in the current framework of international humanitarian law, international criminal law, and international human rights law. Such a convention could help to stigmatize such egregious conduct, could draw further attention to the need for its prevention and punishment, and could help to harmonize national laws relating to such conduct, thereby opening the door to more meaningful inter-State cooperation on the investigation, prosecution, and extradition for such crimes. In July 2014, the International Law Commission embarked on the drafting of such a convention, in the hope of presentation to the U.N. General Assembly within the next five years.
These remarks were the opening address at a conference on ‘Non-International Armed Conflicts (NIAC): Developments and Challenges’ held at Melbourne Law School, Australia, on 17 March 2015.

Shaffer, Wolfe, & Le: Can Informal Law Discipline Subsidies?
Gregory Shaffer (Univ. of California, Irvine - Law), Robert Wolfe (Queen's Univ., Canada - Policy Studies), & Vinhcent Le (Univ. of California, Irvine - Law) have posted Can Informal Law Discipline Subsidies? (Journal of International Economic Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
Some subsidies (such as for fossil fuels and fisheries) adversely affect global public goods (such as a stable climate and the maintenance of global fish stocks); others affect global price levels (domestic support for certain agriculture commodities), or have negative consequences for a trading partner. WTO members have negotiated an agreement on subsidies, but there are severe limits to that agreement’s ability to exercise discipline, and the prospects of its amendment remain limited. This article examines whether states can improve discipline through the use of informal mechanisms and, if so, under what conditions. Informal discipline on subsidies depends on the existence of fora to discuss definitions, generate information about their incidence, discuss whether a particular measure fits the definition, and consider whether a remedy exists. This article takes international organizations seriously as fora for generating “law,” not simply as bodies exercising power or coercion, and it explores a particular view of law. If codification is not the only indicator of law, if one accepts that law also emerges in social interaction, then we must attend to the less formal places where the law of subsidies emerges, and affects state actions. The analysis of where disciplines might be found is based on a three-level set of comparisons: (i) Within the WTO, involving horizontal compared to sectoral disciplines, with a focus on committee and other peer-review processes, rather than the traditional focus on the dispute settlement system; (ii) the WTO compared to, and in complement with, other international organizations addressing particular sectors; and (iii) international organizations compared to, and in complement with, non-governmental organizations. The article provides four case studies involving subsidies: (i) export credits, (ii) shipbuilding, (iii) fisheries, and (iv) fossil fuels. It assesses variations in number of actors, the conceptualization of the problem, definitions, obligation, data, and organizations across these case studies and the impact of such differences on the development of subsidy disciplines.

Hurd: Enchanted and Disenchanted International Law
Ian Hurd (Northwestern Univ. - Political Science) has posted Enchanted and Disenchanted International Law (Global Policy, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
Scholars and activists commonly see international law in a privileged normative and political position in world politics, where international legal institutions are assumed to advance important goals such as international stability, human justice and even global order as a whole. I explore this attitude toward international law, which I call an ‘enchanted’ view, and contrast it to the ‘disenchanted’ alternative. Where the enchanted attitude presumes the normative valence and political wisdom of following international law, the disenchanted approach treats these as open questions for inquiry and discussion. The disenchanted approach is more empirically minded, and more politically open, than the enchanted, and leads to a distinct research program on legalization in international affairs – one that is attentive to the politics of law, the connections between law and power, the ambiguity that exists between legality and policy wisdom.

Call for Papers: Strengthening the Validity of International Criminal Tribunals
Pluricourts, at the University of Oslo Faculty of Law, has issued a call for papers for a conference on "Strengthening the Validity of International Criminal Tribunals." Here's the call:
Strengthening the Validity of International Criminal Tribunals Conference
Pluricourts, University of Oslo
29 – 30 August 2016
International criminal law (ICL) re-emerged onto the global stage in the 1990s in a flood of good will and optimism. Two decades later, with its honeymoon stage well behind it, states, practitioners, scholars and others are asking where we go from here. The ad hoc tribunals are in the process of winding down amid mixed reviews. The creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has failed to live up to many of the optimistic expectations that were imposed upon it, with some African states such as Namibia and South Africa taking steps to withdraw from the Rome Statute. At the same time, calls are being made for new courts and ad hoc jurisdictions to be created as a solution to atrocities and for new crimes to be added to the list of core international crimes. The processes of international criminal justice are also under scrutiny, with some asking whether international criminal courts are trying to do too much. Some see an answer in complementarity- that national courts should assume the responsibility for trying those responsible for the worst atrocities, but this too may not be the panacea it appears to be. This conference seeks to explore these controversies. It seeks practical solutions to make international criminal justice more effective and relevant as it enters a more mature stage in its development.
The conference will bring together a mix of practitioners and scholars from the field of international criminal justice to exchange perspectives and to suggest solutions. We are particularly interested in the experiences of those who work in the field- fact finders, prosecution and defence lawyers, judges, NGO representatives and those involved in the post-trial stage such as members of the prison service. What challenges do they face? What works? What does not work?
We seek papers pursuing empirical, normative, comparative or theoretical approaches, and encourage papers applying alternative theories such as feminist theory, critical legal theory and TWAIL perspectives. We welcome contributions from law and the social sciences, including philosophy, sociology, criminology, psychology and history.
Papers are requested on the following topics:
1. More Courts? More Crimes?
Despite the existence of the permanent ICC, there continue to be calls for new jurisdictions to be created as a solution to atrocities- an ad hoc court for Syria, an International Court against Terrorism, an EU sponsored tribunal for the prosecution of war crimes and alleged human trafficking in Kosovo, a special tribunal for South Sudan. Is there a need for new courts? What does this say about the ICC itself, the political realities of ICL institutionalisation, the realities of contemporary violence and our imagination as responders to large-scale human suffering?
There are several challenging issues of global importance that ICL does not address at present, is it time for this to change? Are there other crimes which should be included within the remit of international criminal law, such as ecocide, terrorism, narcotics, piracy, human trafficking, money-laundering and corruption, that would make international criminal law more relevant and would increase its effectiveness?
2. Making the processes of international criminal justice more effective
What can be done to streamline international criminal procedure without undercutting the legitimate interests of key constituencies, such as states, victims and communities affected by violence, or the need to safeguard fair trial guarantees? Are we being overambitious in our expectations of ICL and its institutions? What role does the judiciary play in increasing the effectiveness of ICL procedure? Does the way that common and civil law traditions intermingle in ICL enhance the system or confuse it?
How are the various functions and responsibilities of a fully-fledged criminal justice system distributed within and across international criminal courts and tribunals? Does the particular way in which they are formulated leave any of these functions and responsibilities inadequately covered? Should that affect how we critique the courts and tribunals? For example, does the fact that each international criminal court or tribunal has its own office of the prosecutor, rather than, say, an independent international prosecutor’s office with standing to appear in multiple jurisdictions, colour the way in which we debate issues such as prosecutorial independence, accountability and selectivity? Should there be an international criminal defence bar? An international public defender’s office? Might the accountability of child soldiers be better addressed if more international courts were like the Special Court for Sierra Leone, with jurisdiction and special provisions over juvenile offenders? What would make the presidents of international criminal courts and tribunals more suitable as authorities responsible for overseeing the enforcement of sentences and other penitentiary matters for international convicts? How can reparations for victims of international crimes be awarded equitably across institutions and regions? How can we make our critiques pertinent, on point and meaningful in general?
In what way do different actors, such as states, various organs of international criminal courts and tribunals, states, NGOs and others interact with each other? Does this relationship function in a way which makes international criminal justice more effective? Do their expectations and actions really converge around international criminal justice institutions in a way that strengthens the system? How can this be improved?
3. Learning from and relying upon other courts
Some see complementarity as providing at least one answer to making international criminal justice more effective and relevant. However, what is the reality? What are the dilemmas of complementarity? How well is complementarity working in different countries, such as the Balkans, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka? Does Libya give us reason to pause over what consequences we are prepared to accept under the banner of positive complementarity? What regional approaches are being taken? Should regional criminal courts (e.g. the new jurisdiction envisaged in Africa) be encouraged as an intermediate layer in the ICC’s complementarity regime and, if so, what adjustments and safeguards would be needed? What problems are there? How can these problems be solved?
International criminal courts and tribunals are not the first kind of international institutions to have experienced similar challenges- the European Court of Human Rights and the WTO for example. How have these institutions responded? Are there lessons that international criminal institutions can learn?
Paper proposals should be emailed to c.m.bailliet@jus.uio.no by 29 February 2016 with an abstract no longer than 500 words. Please include your CV. All proposals will be answered by 15 April 2016. Draft papers should be submitted by 30 June 2016. Conference papers will be selected for publication either in a special edition of a journal or in an anthology.

Van Schaack: The Building Blocks of Hybrid Justice
Beth Van Schaack (Stanford Univ. - Law) has posted The Building Blocks of Hybrid Justice. Here's the abstract:
The commission of mass atrocities — genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes — inevitably generates clarion calls for accountability from a range of international actors, including civil society organizations, governments, and United Nations bodies. These demands often center on an appeal that the situation be taken up by the International Criminal Court (ICC) via a Security Council referral or action by the Prosecutor herself. Although the ICC is now fully operational, its jurisdiction remains incomplete and its resources limited. Furthermore, the ICC is plagued by challenges to its legitimacy, erratic state cooperation, and persistent perceptions of inefficacy and inefficiency. Originally envisioned as a standing institution that would obviate the need for new ad hoc courts, it is now clear that the ICC cannot handle all the atrocity situations ravaging our planet. As such, there is an enduring need for the international community to create, and enable, additional accountability mechanisms to respond to the commission of international crimes when the political will for an ICC referral is lacking, the ICC is inappropriate or foreclosed for whatever reason, or only a fraction of the abuses or perpetrators in question are before the ICC. This contribution analyzes the accumulated experience with international, hybrid, and internationalized judicial institutions prior to and since the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 1993 and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in 1994. This paper assumes the continuing utility of such mechanisms as tools to provide accountability for mass violence amounting to international crimes, particularly in situations requiring an alternative or supplement to the ICC. It thus focuses on practical elements of institutional design, with particular attention to the origins, structure, jurisdictional limitations, financing, and procedures of the hybrid courts, dedicated chambers, specialized prosecutorial cells, and other accountability innovations established to prosecute atrocity crimes at the domestic level with some measure of international support, expertise, and/or personnel. From this historical and comparative analysis, the paper develops a taxonomy of models and a “menu” of elements that can be mixed and matched as new accountability mechanisms are under consideration for historical, current, and emerging atrocity situations, such as Syria, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, North Korea, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Libya, Burundi, and even the July 2014 downing of Malaysian Air Flight 17 (MH-17) over rebel-controlled Ukraine.
Karton: The Structure of International Arbitration Law and the Exercise of Arbitral Authority
Joshua Karton (Queen's Univ., Canada - Law) has posted The Structure of International Arbitration Law and the Exercise of Arbitral Authority (Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal, Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 229-266, November 2015). Here's the abstract:
Existing theoretical treatments of international arbitration deal adequately with the sources of international arbitrators’ authority to resolve disputes, but tend to neglect the exercise of that authority. In what ways is arbitral decision-making constrained? Are international arbitrators obliged to exercise their authority in any particular ways? If so, what are the sources of such obligations, and how might they be enforced? This article contributes to the theoretical literature on international commercial arbitration by adding a dimension that has thus far been neglected: the structure of the legal regime that governs international arbitrations. It applies a familiar concept from Anglo-American jurisprudence, H.L.A. Hart’s typology of primary and secondary rules, to argue that international arbitration law is essentially contractarian in its structure. The article concludes by considering the implications of the contractarian structure of international arbitration law for the ways that arbitrators may and must exercise their authority.

Who are NABU detectives following at the European Court of Human Rights?
One of Ukrainian detectives is boasting selfie with a ‘Strasbourg spire’ on the background. © hpgruesen/Pixabay
Yes, Dear Reader, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) is already following somebody or other in Strasbourg! A NABU detective, Serhiy Rokun, together with a colleague whose identity needs to be verified, flew from Kyiv to Frankfurt on the same plane as NABU Director, Artem Sytnyk and his First Deputy Hizo Uhlava. Later Mr Rokun couldn’t resist broadcasting his presence in Strasbourg by posting his photo on Instagram against the background of the spire of the renowned Strasbourg Cathedral. You can see it below.
Just like ‘Petrov’ and ‘Boshirov’, the lovers of architecture, marvelled over the spires of Salisbury Cathedral!
According to a source, Artem Sytnyk personally confirmed the carrying out of surveillance in the European Court.
According to another source, an internal inquiry has been initiated in the relevant body of the Council of Europe over these illegal activities.
NABU’s actions are unprecedented, with nobody ever having daring to do something like that. The European Court of Human Rights enjoys international immunity. To carry out such investigative activities, it is not enough to have a court warrant (and what Ukrainian judge would dare to give such a warrant?) Carrying out investigative activities outside Ukraine, and in connection with a serious international court body is inadmissible. Such actions are, thus, unquestionably unlawful and criminal.
The consequences of this story could be appalling, they are even difficult to foresee. In my opinion, this unlawful surveillance can be classified as spying. This could have impact on the attitude to Ukraine in the Council of Europe, in particular, in the European Court of Human Rights. Consideration of thousands of applications from Ukrainians against Ukraine is jeopardized, as well as five international cases of Ukraine vs. Russia over the occupation of Crimea and parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
The question is: who is using NABU to once against drag Ukraine into an international scandal which will discredit the Ukrainian state, and why?
Read the following story: NABU’s unlawful actions could result in Ukraine being accused of pressure on European Court of Human Rights

Don Fehr Talks About the CBA
From Nicholas J. Cotsonika at Yahoo! Sports:
He wasn’t rattling a saber as he said it. He wasn’t banging a fist on the table. He was calmly answering a question with a matter-of-fact statement. Still, with the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association expiring one year from today, he spoke volumes.
“The players made an awful lot of concessions in the last agreement,” NHLPA executive director Don Fehr said over breakfast recently in a Manhattan hotel. “It’s pretty hard to see them being willing to do that again.”

Trying to Move Around the Money
From Ken Campbell at The Hockey News:
With Gerber’s current cap hit at $3.7 million, he is virtually untradeable for the Senators. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, the Senators could find a team looking for some goaltending depth for the last two months of the season. Any team wanting to trade for Gerber would owe him $1.4 million for the remainder of the season if it made a deal Feb. 1.
And there’s absolutely no way any team is going to commit that kind of cap space to Gerber. But what if the Senators were willing to pick up half - or more - of the remainder of the contract? Then Gerber might be a more viable option.
The only problem is that isn’t allowed under this collective bargaining agreement.

NHL Prepared for Tough Economic Times
From David Staples at Canwest via the Vancouver Sun,
Can the National Hockey League’s economic boom survive the recent economic crash?
This question is troubling NHL bosses, financiers, players and observers.
Now, as the league has begun to enjoy the benefits of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) of 2005, it must make sense of the recent worldwide stock market crash, an economic upheaval that has brought to mind that most famous of stock market crashes, the Wall Street crash of October 1929. That economic calamity triggered the Great Depression and ended the NHL’s first economic boom.

Will the CBA be Terminated Next Year?
From Michael Russo at the Star Tribune,
The six-year CBA, which runs until Sept. 15, 2011, gives the NHLPA the right to reopen the agreement and begin negotiations on a new one by May 15.
“I’m pretty careful not to give my opinion publicly out of respect for the players,” said NHLPA Executive Director Paul Kelly, who met with the Wild players last Tuesday in Dallas. “This is a very serious issue that we’re discussing on the fall tour.”
Every player in the NHL will receive, or has already filled out, a confidential questionnaire that will be put into a sealed envelope until all 30 teams have been surveyed. They’re being asked a yes-or-no question: “Should we terminate the CBA at the end of the current season?”

Understanding Roster Limits
From Jay Levin at the Nashville Predators site:
Teams have four different “roster” limits to balance under the league’s regulations; a 20-player “dressed list” for games, a 23-player active NHL roster, a 50-contract maximum, and a 90-player maximum reserve list.
Starting with the largest and working our way down, teams are only allowed to have up to 90 players on its reserve list, whether signed to a standard player contract (SPC) or unsigned. From there teams are only allowed to have up to 50 players signed to contracts for any given season, including those for the players on the active roster and injured reserve lists.
read on for a very comprehensive explanation of how roster limits work.
Note: Levin’s article is part of a series he recently started, looking the business side of the game. His previous entry addressed the basic question of What is the CBA?

Economic Roadblock
by Paul on 07/10/08 at 03:42 PM ET
from Al Strachan of Fox Sports,
Three years down the road into economic paradise, the National Hockey League has hit a roadblock.
To some, this comes as no surprise. The Collective Bargaining Agreement that was hammered out after the lockout was clearly headed for trouble. For starters, no matter how many times commissioner Gary Bettman repeated his mantra for the gullible — “We’re doing it for the fans.” — there were three reasons for that lockout, and not one of them involved the well-being of fans.
Bettman wanted (a) to consolidate his power base; (b) to solidify his game plan of expanding the league into regions not familiar with hockey; and (c) to get rid of Bob Goodenow as head of the NHL Players’ Association.

Cost Certainty Out The Window
from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,
On July 22, three years will have elapsed since the NHL and the National Hockey League Players’ Association ratified a collective agreement to end the exhausting 310-day lockout that cancelled the 2004-05 season.
During the shutdown, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman’s favourite buzzwords were “cost certainty.” While Bettman would never publicly condone the money that several clubs tossed at players this past week, the NHL office can’t be happy about the more than $725-million (all currency U.S.) that clubs spent in the past nine days to re-up some of their own players and lure new talent.

CBA No Loss For Players
by Alanah McGinley on 06/12/08 at 09:26 AM ET
From Joe Starkey at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
“If people are going to chastise professional athletes who are making a lot of money, they need to look at the deal we are probably going to end up signing,” [Jeremy] Roenick said.
As if the players would be forced to subsist on food stamps and ramen noodles.
Now look: Thomas Vanek makes $10 million, and the average salary has officially cracked $1.9 million, passing the pre-lockout figure of $1.83 million.
A crushing loss for the players?
“If there were those who viewed it in the words you use,” says player agent Don Meehan, “I don’t know how they could view it that way now.”

Business is Good
From TSN,
Three years after the league shut down amid concerns of skyrocketing salaries, the average NHL player is now making more than pre-lockout levels.
Sources tell TSN the average salary for NHL players this season was $1,906,793, an increase of more than 11% over last year ($1,708,607).
Not surprisingly, league revenues have also increased by close to $600 million since the lockout, translating into escalating salaries.

Canadian NHL Revenues
From CBC:
[Gary] Bettman told interviewer Ron McLean before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final in Pittsburgh that interest in Canada is helping drive revenue but that it was partly a reflection of market forces and not cause for concern.
“It’s a little disproportionate and I think that may be a good thing, because if you go back seven or eight years ago when people were saying we’d only have one club left from Canada, the revenues were disproportionate the other way,” said Bettman.
“What it means is we’ve done a very good job of getting the Canadian clubs healthy. Frankly revenues are growing across the board — it isn’t just the Canadian dollar and it isn’t just the Canadian clubs and any suggestion to the contrary is somebody trying to get a headline.”
Note: McLean’s questions were motivated by this article from Rick Westhead in last Thursday’s Toronto Star. There’s also an audio online at FAN 590 featuring an interview with Westhead about his report.

Bettman’s News Conference
From Mike Householder of the AP via Yahoo!
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said every team in the league will play all the others at least once next season.
The announcement came Saturday before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals between Pittsburgh and Detroit, two teams that did not meet this regular season.
Bettman also used his annual pre-Cup news conference to say the size of goaltenders’ equipment will be analyzed in the offseason.
A complete transcript of Bettman’s remarks should be made available on this post shortly.
Update 8:27pm ET: Complete transcript now available below, of the commissioner’s opening remarks as well as the question & answer session which followed.

Wings Adjust And Still Win
from Dave Naylor of the Globe and Mail,
So when the NHL and the National Hockey League Players’ Association drastically reformed their collective labour agreement in the summer of 2005, taking away the economic advantage clubs such as Detroit had enjoyed, it was fair to ponder what might become of the great Red Wings dynasty.
Well, with nearly three full seasons of postlockout hockey in the books, the answer to that question is clear. As they get set to open the Stanley Cup final at home tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Red Wings are trying to put the finishing touches not just on a stellar season, but also on the most successful start for any team in the NHL’s three-year-old postlockout era.

Players Hold a Power Edge
From Ken Campbell at The Hockey News,
If the player who is under contract decides he simply doesn’t feel like playing – the way Niedermayer did last fall – he can simply kick up his heels and sit out for as long as he wants. The team has no recourse except to suspend the player. But here’s where it gets really silly.
The moment the player decides he wants to come back and play, the team must lift the suspension, reactivate him and start paying him according to the terms of his contract – as long as he decides to return before the trade deadline when rosters must be set.
It’s another classic example of how the players, who were supposedly clobbered in the last round of CBA negotiations, continue to hold an inordinate amount of power. After holding a team to a commitment by signing a contract, the player then decides if and when he wants to come back.
Tags: cba, contracts
from Rand Simon at the Hockey News,
As per the collective bargaining agreement, in order to protect its right to match an offer sheet and receive draft pick compensation if choosing not to match, an NHL team must tender a qualifying offer no later than June 25.
In order to be deemed proper, the qualifying offer must be for an amount at least equal to the player’s 2007-08 compensation for those who made $1 million or more this past season in base salary.
For players making less than $1 million but more than $660,000, the qualifying offer must be for 105 percent of the player’s ‘07-08 salary. However, the qualifying offer does not have to exceed $1 million if, for example, the player was making $990,000 in ‘07-08. That player’s qualifying offer would be $1 million.

Nashville Needs a Capologist
Martin Erat’s new seven-year, $31.5 contract with the Nashville Predators has been rejected by the NHL.
All that means is that it is likely to be re-jigged to conform to the CBA and re-submitted for approval. Erat’s contract was rejected because it violates a clause in the CBA that regulates year to year fluctuations in salary.
For example, if you take the first two years of contract, the higher salary in those two years can’t be more than double of the lower salary. After that, the salary can’t fluctuate up by more than 100% of the lower salary and can’t fluctuate downward by more than 50% of lower salary.
On that basis, Erat’s contract doesn’t cut it on a number of levels.
The contract is expected to be approved after some changes, but geez, Nashville—probably a good idea to get that sort of thing figured out before releasing the details.
Update 11:38am May 14: John Glennon in The Tennessean reports the problem appears to be nearly resolved—
The Predators and forward Martin Erat have shifted some of the terms in Erat’s seven-year contract to conform to the standards of the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement. Both sides have signed the new deal and are now awaiting its approval by the NHL.

Scott Niedermayer Might Get His $500,000 Back
From the Canadian Press,
The Anaheim Ducks star defenceman already lost about US$2 million in wages from his $6.75-million salary for missing the first two months of the season. He was suspended without pay until he returned in mid-December. But in addition, as revealed by the New York Post over the weekend, Niedermayer’s salary was also reduced by $500,000 for missing all of training camp, as mandated by a clause in the collective bargaining agreement.
However, multiple sources told The Canadian Press on Monday that the NHL and NHL Players’ Association are working towards a resolution that would see Niedermayer recoup most, if not all, of the $500,000 and also clarify what implications this has on the Ducks’ salary cap.
Note: Larry Brooks New York Post story yesterday, linked previously on KK
Update 9:00pm ET: Bob McKenzie at TSN says that everyone has the story wrong:
As the New York Post reported on Sunday, Niedermayer has indeed been fined $500,000 because he missed training camp, but the fine was levied not by the NHL but the Ducks themselves. And according to the CBA, it is the Ducks who are mandated to fine Niedermayer for his decision to temporarily retire and miss training camp.

Predators Expect to Qualify for Revenue Sharing
From John Glennon at The Tennessean,
The Predators will reach the paid attendance average necessary to qualify for the National Hockey League’s full revenue-sharing plan this year, team officials said Monday.
That means the Predators will receive in the neighborhood of $12 million, money that will help them re-sign their own players and free agents as well.
continued… *the NHL minimum paid attendance average for revenue sharing is 13,125; the Predators have averaged 13,145 through this season’s home games, with just 5 remaining
Update 8:56pm ET: More from David Naylor in Tuesday’s Globe & Mail.

Alarm Bells
From Marty Henwood at Hockey.com,
So, humor me again, if you will. What, exactly, was the NHL lockout for?
Because, my friends, we are on the express route to another work stoppage.
According to reports, the NHL salary cap will rise once again next season.
Alarm bells, anyone?

Over-Valued Hype
from Forbes,
National Hockey League franchises have increased in value as a result of the collective bargaining agreement between owners and players that capped player salaries at 54% (now 56%) of league revenue beginning with the 2005-06 season. More cost certainty has increased the number of bidders for teams while the supply remained fixed at 30 franchises.
But the new CBA has not been the panacea for team values that some self-serving owners would want you to believe.
I Don’t Even Want To Type The Word
from The Maven of MSG Network,
This news might get stuck in your craw but it has to be reported nonetheless. Another NHL Work Stoppage could very well happen when it’s time for the NHLPA to renew the current CBA.The angst centers on two critical areas:
1. Choice of the next union boss;
2. Whether the small but vocal Chris Chelios-led militant unionists control the show.

THE DIRTY SHOW
Curatorial Statement
by Margaret Dragu (April 2006)
Every person believes he/she is an expert about art.
An expert about sex.
About sexual representation.
Erotica and pornography.
And censorship.
We all firmly believe that we KNOW.
The Every(wo)man saying,
“I don’t know much about art but I know what I like”
believes he/she really and truly KNOWS what art is; art looks good above the sofa.
Cultural-studies artists/students quoting from
Lacan-Foucault-Barthes-‘Sexe et Po’ Femme-French-Lit-Deconstructionists
believe they are the ones who actually KNOW; art is created by rigorous discourse.
Politicians, the judiciary, church leaders, school teachers, activists,
the Liquor Board and even the Fire Marshal
all believe they are the ones who, in fact,
really KNOW. About art. About sex.
By accepting Stephen Reamus’s invitation to curate, contextualize and provide parameters for
THE NAC DIRTY SHOW, am I, in fact, naming myself as the expert?
And why did NAC invite me, anyways?
Sitting in front of my computer in a fishing village on the south arm of the Fraser River, I assumed
this honour was because I’m an older artist, stripper, activist, feminist, writer, and mother
experienced with the political/cultural/legal issues around sexual representation in art and in the community.
I also thought that it might be a big plus that I live very very very far away from St. Catharines.
[Yeah, yeah, you never heard of me. Trust me. I am famous. Really.
So famous that Artistic Director Todd Janes (Edmonton’s Gallery Latitude 53) calls me Brittany Spears.
In fact, try googling me and see how quickly you arrive at a thousand German porn sites
and a Romanian anime series about a vampire-Shakespeare character called Dragu-Slayer
to which neither I have the remotest connection. Natch.]
Turns out the invite was not given to me because I am a famous artist.
It was sheer nepotism. Of which I am a huge fan, bye-the-bye.
It is the good/bad thang of artist-run centres and arms-length funding.
Both of which I shall …. “fight on the beaches… fight on the landing grounds… fight in the fields,
and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!” as Churchill said
about Dunkirk in House of Commons June 4, 1940.
So what am I bringing to the curation of NAC artists’ Dirty Show?
How do I want to discuss sex and art with this community within a community?
I am bringing 35 years of making art.
Art that is made from the body (always) and investigates sexuality (often)
and is about creating community, transcendence, and power
which is also a part of sexuality.
I am also a survivor of 35 years of conflict around these issues.
Conflicts fought in public, in the media,
in court cases, in art/feminist/theatre/activist communities,
in the art market, the farmers’ market and on the streets where I live.
I am a survivor of what Ariel Levy in her book
Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture
describes as the “unresolved conflicts from 30 years ago
between women’s liberation movement and the sexual revolution …”
And after 30 years, it is not surprising we are asking the same questions.
Questions that are so polarized as to feel unresolvable.
Like what is the difference between Pornography and Erotica, how do we
develop and/or enforce community standards about sexual representation in public and private,
is censorship good/bad or avoidable, how do we protect children (as well as women and men) from exploitation,
is everything just getting worse and worse and worse or is this a skewed or unconscious vision of our history?
What is the difference between Pornography and Erotica?
I shall tell you.
One you like and one you don’t like.
Erotica is something you like.
Pornography is something you hate.
There is a thin membrane between the two but most people
are neither living at the membrane
nor are they creating/consuming at the membrane
Most people really know what they like.
It is living with a lack of ambiguity that encourages the belief
that he/she is an expert and is an easy step to feel a necessity
to judge/define/set standards for others.
While having breakfast at Art’s with S. and Stephen Reamus, S. asked,
“Who is setting this community standard or deciding what is
interesting and acceptable for a so-called family newspaper or magazine?”
And the answer always reflects the politics of our time
which has taken a deep swerve to the right.
This swerve feels subtle to those living and working far away from the membrane in the middle
but feels like deep hot predatorial breath the closer one operates towards the membrane.
Who is living and operating at the membrane?
Artists, of course. And the transgendered, the intellectuals, the activists, the humanitarians
and the usual crew. And oddly so are pornographers, advertising executives and even Hollywood.
Why is this membrane spot so crowded?
Because everyone (and we are each an expert) wants to have sex, talk about sex,
explore sex, empower sex, exploit sex, employ sex, control sex, or even actively ignore sex.
And often we want to control what others are doing/being/creating/thinking
because it impacts us through public arenas (advertising, Hollywood, internet, television)
and privately as our global village shrinks every day making our neighbours closer and closer.
Their thoughts, beliefs, and actions are always escalating in their impact upon us.
Sometimes we disapprove of ‘the other’s’ sexuality or what ‘the other’
is being/feeling/making causes us to be uncomfortable.
Sometimes someone in the membrane is making money off of us.
Or exploiting and enslaving us or someone we love.
No wonder it is so challenging to talk about sex together without coming to blows.
Our culture possesses so few words to describe and discuss sexuality (and the spirituality of sexuality).
A paucity of words to share our feelings and experiences as sexual and spiritual human beings.
We are often left with the lexicon, nomenclature, and images from commercial sources
like Hollywood, TV, and pornography — unconsciously absorbing the values attached to these
commercial sources. It is my very strong belief that it is individual artists
who shall help us create a new sexual language.
Visually. With words. With media.
How can we passively accept that our language, humour, aesthetics,
and morality is being created by the global economy — or as I like to call it – Capitalism Gone Wild?
In a speech given by Sally Tisdale (author of infamous pro-pornography book Talk Dirty to Me)
at the Law and Literature Symposium, University of California-Berkeley, October 1, 1995, Tisdale says,
“Art exists not so much outside social responsibility, but within it — woven through it,
through the social fabric, the political reality and the political vision, intermingled in
and embroidered upon the daily life of culture in such a way that it can’t be held separate,
imprisoned in a cage of changing values.
In Oscar Wilde’s words, ‘Art never expresses anything but itself.’
Art must exist and cannot be contained, because art is that which humans must do. Art simply is.”
I love art. And I love sex. I am extremely interested in the spirituality of sex, the passion of love,
the psychology of change, the transcendence of sexual and spiritual acts, and the support and nurturing
of our expression and growth as loving and sexual humans.

Golden snubs and surprises
Published:Wednesday | December 11, 2019 | 12:28 AM
NEW YORK (AP):
Some Golden Globe nominations seemed like locks: Joaquin Phoenix, Tom Hanks, Adam Driver and Eddie Murphy. But others were shocks, like Lupita Nyong’o not getting a nomination for Us. Other notable snubs and surprises:
Only men made the best director category: Bong Joon Ho for Parasite, Sam Mendes with 1917, Todd Phillips for Joker, Martin Scorsese with The Irishman and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood. Notable female directors snubbed this year include Greta Gerwig of Little Women, Marielle Heller, who directed A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Lulu Wang of The Farewell and Lorene Scafaria of Hustlers.
AVA GETS NO LOVE
When They See Us, the searing TV series on the plight of the Central Park Five got no nods despite critical acclaim. The four-part Netflix series explores the true story of five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem who were coerced into confessing to a rape they didn’t commit in 1989. Show creator Ava DuVernay was also snubbed at the Emmys in the directing and writing categories, although Jharrel Jerome won for best lead actor in a limited series.
NO PURRING
Although the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was shown an unfinished cut of Tom Hooper’s film Cats, the group chose not to give it any acting, directing or technical nominations. The film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical stars Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Swift. It’s in theatres December 20. The film did earn Taylor Swift and Lloyd Webber nods for writing the song Beautiful Ghosts.
GOLDEN SON
Globe voters waded into the thorny family drama Succession and gave nominations to the show and to Brian Cox, who plays the powerful patriarch. It also gave a nomination to one of the three actors hoping to succeed Cox’s Logan Roy. Was it the ice queen played by Sarah Snook? The unpredictable, snarky son played by Kieran Culkin? The striving but bumbling son played by Jeremy Strong? In the end, Culkin got the nod for the second successive year.
ANYONE WATCHING?
HBO’s Watchmen, an adaptation of one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of all time, was ignored by the Globe voters. The dark superhero tale, which follows a group of masked vigilantes, stars Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Louis Gossett Jr, Jean Smart, Tim Blake Nelson and Don Johnson. Critics seemed to like it more than The Morning Show, which earned three nominations.
YOU TALKIN’ ABOUT ME?
Al Pacino got one. Joe Pesci got one. And director Martin Scorsese got one, of course. But Robert De Niro didn’t get an acting nomination for his work on The Irishman. De Niro plays Frank Sheehan, the teamster and mafia figure who claimed right before his death that he was the one who killed Jimmy Hoffa. But don’t worry about De Niro. He already has a Globe for Raging Bull.
A SMALLER THRONE
The Golden Globes have been a safe place for HBO’s Game of Thrones. That ended this year. The show only picked up one nomination, for actor Kit Harington. Previously, Game of Thrones earned nods for best drama in 2012 and every year from 2015-2018. Fans have had mixed love for the final season and some have even asked HBO to remake it.

NYFF ’14: Pasolini
In 1926, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s father foiled an attempt to assassinate Benito Mussolini. Unfortunately, there would be nobody to intercede when Pasolini fils was murdered, most likely by a gay hustler, but the Italian auteur’s death has almost spawned as many conspiracy theories as the Kennedy assassination. The filmmaker’s final days are now the subject of Abel Ferrara’s speculative passion play, Pasolini (trailer here), which screens during the 52nd New York Film Festival.
Ferrara’s affinity for Pasolini makes perfect sense, given the penchant they share for sexually and religiously charged subject matter. As Ferrara’s film opens, Pasolini is wrapping post-production on his Marquis de Sade opus, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. To this day, it remains one of the most controversial and difficult films ever produced by a prestige filmmaker. Of course, Pasolini was always an extreme figure, politically and aesthetically (holding the dubious distinction of having been expelled from the Italian Communist Party on moral grounds).
Ferrara builds an atmosphere of foreboding and paranoia, clearly inviting the audience to suspect anyone so uncompromising must be a danger to the powers that be. Yet, Pasolini recklessly indulges in the hedonistic lifestyle that will ultimately kill him. Ferrara intercuts his prowling about Rome’s seedy night spots with scenes from the outlandish allegory that would have been his next film: Porno-Teo-Kolossal, a sort of riff on the Biblical Three Wise Men, in which an old Holy fool’s pilgrimage takes him to Sodom’s traditional orgy, where the city’s gays and lesbians come together to procreate.
Truly, Pasolini reflects both the absolute worst and best of Ferrara’s instincts. It is talky, pretentious, and features more explicit gay sex than any non-homophobic straight cineaste ever needs to see. Yet, the operatic sweep of it all is rather overwhelming. Ferrara creates a pungent sense of 1970s Rome, simmering with crime and ideology. Dark and sleazy, it all radiates malevolence thanks to cinematography Stefano Falivene.
Frankly, Willem Dafoe, a frequent Ferrara co-conspirator, makes a downright spooky Pasolini stand-in. He is so gaunt and dissipated looking, the audience might throw him an intervention if he appears at a screening. Watching him play out Pasolini’s final days is like watching a ghost. For better or worse, it is his film and perhaps his career role, but it is also quite eerie to see Pasolini favorite Ninetto Davoli wayfaring through the “Maestro’s” unmade film.
Pasolini is bold auterist filmmaking and a quality period production. It is also rather a mess, but it should not be lightly dismissed. Despite or because of Ferrara’s myriad excesses, when you walk out of his Pasolini, you know you saw a film. Recommended for fans of Ferrara and Pasolini at their most Ferrara and Pasolini, Ferrara’s Pasolini screens this Thursday (10/2) at Alice Tully Hall and Friday (10/3) at the Gilman, as Main Slate selection of this year’s NYFF.

New policies put colleges ‘at variance’ with MC USA
EMU, Goshen nondiscrimination policies now include employees in same-sex marriages
Jul 20, 2015 by Tim Huber and Mennonite World Review
Two Mennonite Church USA colleges expanded their nondiscrimination policies July 20 to include employees in same-sex marriages, putting them at variance with the denomination’s education agency.
In separate statements, Goshen (Ind.) College and Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va., announced the change to hiring practices and benefits. The updated policies are identical.
The same day, Mennonite Education Agency announced that any institution that makes a change moving away from the MC USA’s teaching position on marriage will be considered at variance.
Previously, EMU asked tenure-line faculty candidates to identify any objections they have to MC USA’s Confession of Faith, which defines God’s intent for marriage as between one man and one woman for life.
After conducting a six-month listening process collecting input from students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and church leaders, the EMU board of trustees in 2014 delayed action regarding its hiring policy until after the MC USA convention earlier in July.
Board chair Kay Brenneman Nussbaum said the decision is in keeping with a commitment to nondiscrimination and hiring individuals committed to EMU’s core values.
“Our education is grounded in Mennonite/Anabaptist values, and we believe people in same-sex covenanted relationships are valued members of our learning community with equal rights to standard benefits,” she said.
Both colleges stated that actions taken by delegates at the MC USA convention in Kansas City during the first week of July were taken into consideration. Delegates approved resolutions calling for forbearance and also for accountability among those with differing views on same-sex relationships.
“We reaffirm our strong relationship to Mennonite Church USA, and recognize the diversity of interpretation of Scripture on this issue within our denomination and the broader Christian church, a diversity reflected within the board of directors and on our campus as well,” said Goshen President James E. Brenneman.
“We seek forbearance and grace amidst our differences. We deeply affirm the goodness of marriage, singleness, celibacy, sexual intimacy within marriage, and a life of faithfulness before God for all people.”
The Goshen news release stated that the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 26 decision to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide was “part of the board’s considerations” but was “not the impetus for this shift in institutional policy.”
Goshen and EMU are the only members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities to make such a policy change. The 181-member organization’s board will discuss the changes at an upcoming meeting.
Other MC USA colleges
The board of directors of Bethel College in North Newton, Kan., unanimously approved a revision to its nondiscrimination policy April 5, 2014, broadening it to include references to sexual orientation and gender identity. The expansion was a clarification rather than a change.
Each of the five Mennonite Education Agency colleges in MC USA has its own policies and governance structures, and no changes to hiring policies go through MEA.
Hesston (Kan.) College and Bluffton (Ohio) University have nondiscrimination statements, but neither explicitly addresses same-sex sexuality.
Candidates for faculty, student life and administrative positions at Hesston are required to submit a written reflection of their faith journey and respond to the Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective as part of the hiring process. The college asks all employees to respect the Confession and represent the college in a positive way.
Bluffton director of public relations Robin Bowlus said there is nothing in Bluffton’s hiring policies that prevents Bluffton from hiring based on sexual orientation.
“As we have always done, and rooted in our Community of Respect, Bluffton strives to hire the most qualified candidate who embraces the mission of the university,” she said. “Bluffton’s board of trustees will meet again in October, and I can imagine they will thoughtfully consider actions and outcomes from the MC USA convention.”
MEA’s response
Also in its July 20 statement, MEA stated that the recently passed forbearance resolution allows institutions to implement changes that reflect their present understandings even when those are in contradiction to the teaching positions of the church.
“MEA will show forbearance and extend grace to these institutions,” the statement says. “The MEA board remains committed to ongoing conversations and discernment concerning the impact and possible consequences of the institutions’ actions that move them in the direction of changing their hiring policies placing them at variance with the denomination.”
The statement does not mention Bethel College.
In a phone interview July 20, MEA executive director Carlos Romero said he was in communication with Goshen and EMU before and after the MC USA convention.
“Our statement at this point is not a surprise,” he said. “I had communicated that with the boards when I talked to the boards over the weekend as they were meeting.”
He said MEA does not know what the implications of being at variance will be.
“So it’s not a situation where we are simply saying, ‘This is it,’ ” Romero said. “It’s not just a label, but it is a designation. It’s a descriptor we’re making at this point and saying, ‘We’ll be in conversation moving forward.’ ”

A good, long walk
Michela Pasquali on Jul 14, 2016
Italy,Rome
Who doesn’t love the Colosseum? Rowan has been looking forward to seeing it almost as much as we have. We booked a tour of the “subterranean” floor, below the main arena, where all of the gladiators, animals, trees, hills (yes, hills!) and scenery were moved up to the arena using 28 separate elevators that were each operated by eight men. We saw a wood reconstruction of an elevator that archaeologists recreated using marks in the stone walls that indicate where the elevators were placed, how tall they were, and how they must have worked. We learned a lot about the history of the Colosseum, the kind of stone and marble used to construct it and how it came to look like it does today- how it was dismantled to create other buildings in Rome including St. Peter’s basilica.
A reconstructed Colosseum elevator used to raise gladiators, animals and other items to the game floor.
We learned that every citizen of Rome could get into the Colosseum using small tablets that indicated what section they needed to sit in and how they should leave the building. Apparently the whole venue could be evacuated in ten minutes because of how organized and systematic the Romans were in designing the corridors, rows and levels. And we learned that at the time that it was running as an entertainment complex in Ancient Rome, it was known as Flavian’s amphitheatre and was only called the Colosseum because of the colossal, 35 metre high statue of Nero that stood outside it.
The marble seats of the VIP section which included Roman Senators.
Rowan loved being in the basement because it was cool and shaded, compared to the 35 degree temperatures in the sun. The architecture downstairs is more impressive than outside because of what you know it is holding up and because so much of it is intact. Simpler, plainer materials were used downstairs because only slaves spent any time down there, but even so, the arches of stone and brick are flawless and the preserved still-quite-intricate tile floors are beautiful. Thinking of the countless hours it took to construct made our heads spin, so we just listened to all the interesting facts our guide, Rosa, recounted and enjoyed the amazing views.
Rowan’s favourite part was seeing the alcoves along the inner wall of the basement where the animals were kept. Rosa was phenomenal, super knowledgeable and enthusiastic and even joked with Rowan about the dangerous animals we would find in the subterranean levels – three cats that roam the Colosseum, day and night.
The alcoves under the Colosseum floor where animals would be held.
At the Forum, we headed straight for the Palladian Hill, to see the remnants of the palaces and gardens. We found an excellent archaeological museum there that has sculptures, architectural features, busts, tiles, and a whole bunch of wonderful artifacts from the Forum and surrounding hills, excavated during the 20th century. Rowan was super excited to go into every room and even spent a little extra time on his own, looking at a wall of architectural reliefs, and reading about what they were from and the stories they depicted.
The Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum.
After the museum, we headed back down to the Forum to find the artifacts in a fantastic book, called Mission Rome (amazon.ca / amazon.com). It’s a scavenger hunt where he has to read about and then check off a bunch of items for the major tourist sites we visit and collect points for each one. We even saw a young girl at the Forum with the same book, which Rowan thought was super cool.
Inspired by all the art he is seeing Rowan made some of his own before dinner.
In the evening, we found a wonderful restaurant, Sedie & Cantine, which has a fantastic vibe, amazing vegetarian and vegan options, and a rather lovely house white, which Kevin and I shared quite happily. Rowan made awesome ink drawings on the yellow paper place mats, and talked to us about his favourite movies all night long. We got to bed late, but had one of our best nights in Rome so far. It’s amazing how a good, long walk, followed by great food and wine, and an awesome 7-year-old chatterbox can make an evening pretty magical.
Hello Roma!
Museums and more museums

What an awesome trip you are having. I didn’t know there was such a cool subterranean tour of the Colosseum, Rome is on my bucket list but this fall we are focussing on Spain (although we are starting in London and ending in Paris). It sounds incredibly hot, we prefer to travel in the fall when it’s slightly cooler and the tourists have left but with kids it’s more limiting because of school, I get it. (You should consider home schooling for a year and take a sabbatical ?). What an experience for Rowan, he must be a really great kid.
July 16, 2016 at 4:17 pm /
The subterranean tours just started this month and are super popular. The English tours were sold out for all of July, so we booked an Italian tour and I just translated for Kevin and Rowan. You guys will love Rome once you do come, and I’m totally envious of your Spain trip, bookended by Paris and London, no less! Fantastic. The last two times we were in Rome, it was in the Fall and we prefer that time of year too. It’s cooler and much less crowded (except the Trevi fountain, which i think just constantly has a thousand people around it no mater what time of year!).

The Road to Hell and Tallahassee
Florence Bowman was ready to leave home. Her little brother looked as though he was ready to leave the planet.
Standing at the end of her driveway, she watched as her parents packed the remainder of her college necessities into the back of their sedan. She had made a deal with herself that if she could survive this road trip with her parents, she would take the rest of her life more seriously. Her little brother was wearing a spacesuit.
The purpose of this trip was two-fold, her father had explained. They would first drop Florence in Tallahassee, at his old alma mater, to begin her freshman year. They would then take Arthur across the state to Cape Canaveral for space camp. Florence didn’t care about the reason, or about friends left behind in Maryland. She was ready to leave her house, and the memories within, behind her.
Florence watched her brother haul his sleeping bag over his back from the garage to the sedan. It unraveled over him as he tried to hoist it into the trunk. Their mother came over and began to help him roll it back up.
“You’re not taking that,” Florence’s father said after noticing the two.
“It said on the website that we could bring one if we wanted to,” Arthur said, clutching the sleeping bag which had once again unraveled over his shoulder.
“You don’t need it. They provide everything you need at the camp.”
“Hank, if it’ll make him feel—” Florence’s mother was cut off by a commanding glare from her husband.
“He doesn’t need it,” he said.
The family gathered the remainder of the boxes and essentials in a familiar silence.
Florence’s father was driving, and he would occasionally tap his fingers on the steering wheel, asserting his presence to the rest of the vehicle. Florence gazed out of the rear window. She looked past her reflection at houses that lined the interstate, all of them full of families. Families, she was sure, who weren’t tip-toeing on eggshells every weekend morning, families genuinely excited to spend time together.
Florence hated how much mental energy she spent grieving for her family that never was. She remembered a drawing she had made in the fourth grade of her family standing in front of a house much larger than their own. There were floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor that invited natural light into the house from sunrise to sunset. The family was standing on the front lawn surrounded by red, blue, yellow, and green tulips. Florence’s mother was holding Arthur, who was yet to be born in real life, and Florence was holding her father’s hand. They all wore long crayoned-on smiles that probably looked like double-chins.
The teacher had come around as Florence was finishing her drawing. “What a happy family,” she said, “But what’s that behind the house?” She pointed to an oblong silver oval with portholes down the side and black fins at the base. Florence explained that it was a spaceship for the family. “Oh, so this is in the future, very cool,” her teacher had said. She didn’t tell her teacher that it was her family then. They had taken the ship to another planet in another universe, one where they could all be happy and smiling. Florence’s mother had put the picture on the refrigerator, and her father had taken it down after a week.
Now Florence looked over at her brother sitting beside her. He was still wearing his spacesuit, but had removed his helmet. He was holding it tightly in his lap and staring out his window. She could tell that he was still stewing about the sleeping bag, thinking about all the reasons why it wasn’t fair that their father hadn’t let him take it. Florence had used those terms when she had been younger: fair and unfair, as if there were some universal judicator squaring away all injustice.
Arthur’s suit crinkled as he brought his feet up onto his seat. His suit looked like it had been made from the same material as space blankets, and when the sun was on Arthur’s side of the car, it refracted dozens of miniscule rainbows around the back seat.
Their father shot a look at Arthur in the rear view mirror. “Arthur, did I ever tell you the story of Galileo and the Catholic Church?” The rainbows dissipated as Arthur took his feet off the seat and placed them on the floor.
“No,” Arthur said.
“In 1616, Galileo was put on trial by the Catholic Church. Do you know why?”
Arthur didn’t answer.
“Florence?”
Florence slid down in her seat, out of the rear-view mirror’s range.
“No, I don’t,” she said.
“Jesus Christ, are they even bothering to teach at that public school anymore? You’ve never heard of Galileo in all twelve years of school? And they let you into Florida State?”
She’d played it wrong. “Didn’t he, like, invent the telescope or something?” she asked. She could never be on his side, but completely ignoring him had its problems.
“Well he didn’t invent the telescope,” her father said with a chortle, “but close enough. He did improve on the design overall. Back to the story, Galileo discovered, like Copernicus before him, that the earth was not the center of the solar system, but that the sun was the center, and that the planets revolved around it and not the earth. He called it a heliocentric model as opposed to the geocentric one. You can use those words at camp. Everyone will be impressed.”
Florence noticed her mother clutch the center console with her hand as she shot a glare at her husband, but he didn’t notice. Arthur was looking into the visor of his helmet now. It could be folded up over the top of the helmet.
“The Catholic Church didn’t like that, and in 1616 they accused Galileo of creating theories that directly opposed the word of the bible. And after almost twenty years, the Church tortured him into saying that his idea was wrong. Then they imprisoned him until he died.”
Florence knew her father was telling his own embellished take on the story, and that the brutality of the Church’s treatment of Galileo had been exaggerated.
“What do you think about that story, Arthur?”
Arthur didn’t answer. Florence watched him continue to stare at the visor.
“What do you think about what the Catholic Church did to Galileo?” her father pressed.
“I don’t know,” he said, twisting in his seat.
“What if I told you, even now, Catholic theologians and religion apologists were—”
“Sounds like they were some bad guys, huh Arthur?” their mother said, cutting in.
Their father cut back at her with a wild stare. Florence could see the hint of a sick smirk on his cracked lower lip.
He pounded the steering wheel, “Why do you have to do that? Why must you always interrupt me when I’m trying to get a point across.”
Florence’s mother looked frightened, and Florence felt the heat in her hands that she always had when her father would inevitably turn on them. She sat on her hands but then felt an anxious rumbling across her shoulders and back.
“Jesus, just once, I would like to be able to say something without you fucking interrupting me.”
“Don’t curse at me,” her mother said. Florence had always wondered why this was where her mother drew the line.
“I will fucking say whatever I want, and you will not interrupt me. I’m trying to teach our boy a fucking lesson.”
Florence felt the car begin to accelerate, and they weaved in and out of traffic.
“Now, Arthur, what did you think? And so help me God, if you interrupt me again,” he said, glancing at his wife.
Florence could see tears start to form in Arthur’s eyes. She could almost feel the welling up in his chest. He couldn’t have spoken if he wanted to.
“They suck,” Florence blurted out. “The Church sucks. And everyone related to it and its tired dogmas suck, okay?”
She saw her father’s eyes in the rear-view mirror. They looked like two blisters with pupils.
“Not you,” he said, slow and deep.
“Arthur, tell me what you think about the church and how it treated Galileo or you’re not going to space camp.”
Arthur was quiet. Florence wanted him to answer, but knew what pain he must be going through right now. She didn’t think that there was anything else she could do to help him. He was on his own like she’d been before.
Their father tapped his finger on the wheel again.
“Well, no camp?”
“They’re liars,” Arthur finally said.
“That’s right,” their father answered, “See? That wasn’t so hard.”
Florence was breathing heavily and she watched Arthur turn to the window to keep his face out of sight. Her mother turned around in her seat and looked at her two children. The veins in her hand bulged.
“Oh, look a rest stop,” she said with the tone Florence recognized as: nothing just happened, but I only use this tone after my husband has lashed out at one or all of us, so obviously something has happened. “Let’s stretch our legs.”
Florence’s father crossed three lanes of traffic to pull into the rest stop. As soon as he pulled the keys out he opened his door and stormed off.
“You know how he gets on trips,” their mother said turning to them. “He has to drive because of my tenosynovitis,” she added looking at her hands, “It’s a lot of pressure, and they treated him awful at that Catholic school.”
For Florence, something about hearing their mother’s voice after their father had lost it made it that much worse. The tears Arthur had been holding back began to flow. Florence just looked away from her. In the reflection of her window she saw Arthur put on his helmet and slide down the visor.
That night, at a motel in north Georgia, Florence sat up in bed and took a sip of the water. Arthur was lying next to her. He had taken off his space suit and was wearing long sleeve pajamas, which it was probably too hot for, but he liked them.
Florence’s mother was up in the mirror, getting ready for bed, wearing a nightgown. She was using a wipe on her face to remove her makeup. Florence watched her mother slowly pull the wipe down the length of her face. It was something she had taught Florence to do when she was a teenager. Don’t just scrub it, she had said, grabbing Florence’s hand and demonstrating. Like this, see? she added, showing Florence all the removed makeup.
Florence’s father slid up behind her mother and wrapped his arms around her. There was a moment where her mother stood still before leaning back into his embrace.
“I’m sorry about earlier, dear. You know I’m working on it, right?”
“I know,” her mother said, “I just wish you wouldn’t curse at me.”
“You’re right, but I just don’t like being interrupted. It makes me feel like you’re not considering what I have to say.”
“I know. I know you’re right.”
Florence remembered her parents renewing their vows when she was fifteen. On the beach, during another family trip, they repeated them to each other, “Love is patient, love is kind…” Even then, it had made her stomach turn.
The next morning, Florence woke up as their mother came in carrying muffins and yogurt from the continental breakfast bar.
“Sorry honey, no apple juice, but they did have cranberry,” she said, holding the door open with her hip. Arthur did not seem thrilled.
Their father got up and grabbed a muffin out of her hand. “We’ve got a surprise for you today, bud,” he said, “This morning we’re gonna’ stop somewhere and I think you’ll like it.”
Florence’s mother handed Arthur the cranberry juice and he stared at it with limited enthusiasm. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
After packing up, the family was back in the car. There was a cautious silence that morning. Florence didn’t feel particularly on edge, but all the same, she judged it best to keep her mind on other things. Her mother was directing, looking at folded-over map of Georgia. She squinted as she read the names and numbers of streets and state roads. Their path took them east, toward the mountains.
After pulling down a winding dirt road, the family came to a stop by a sign that read “Gemopolis: Buy Two Birds with One Stone.” Beneath the words there were two blondes staring wide-eyed at a glowing diamond. Florence rolled her eyes, but noticed that luckily Arthur had missed the tastelessness of the sign.
“Well howdy, folks. Welcome to Gemopolis,” a plump man with a gray flattened beard said as the family walked toward the entrance. “Is this your first time here?”
“Yes, it is,” Florence’s mother said.
“Well then, welcome. Ain’t you two as lovely as the day is bright,” he said to Florence and her mother. Florence looked questioningly at the man, but couldn’t resist giving a good-hearted smile. “My name is Bijou Bubba. And, mind you,” he added, lifting up his blacksmith’s apron in a curtsy. “Bijou is French for petite and elegant, so I expect to be treated accordingly.”
“Now it looks like we’ve got a little rockhound in training. What’s your name, slugger?” he said, turning to Arthur.
“I’m Arthur,” he said. Bijou held out his hand and Arthur gave him a low-five.
“Hoo-eeh,” Bijou said, “You can probably just karate chop a geode in half today with that thing.” He leaned down to the boy and whispered loud enough for the family to hear. “You got that arm registered with the law?” Arthur smiled. “I won’t tell,” he added with a wink.
“You’ve got geodes here?” Arthur asked.
“You bet, son. Now, what may I call this beautiful belle?” he asked, turning to Florence.
“Florence,” she said.
“Well you’ve come from mighty far. Enchanté, Florence.”
“Florence is in Italy,” she answered, feigning a bit of sass.
“Well, pepperoni pizza to you then,” Bijou said. Florence couldn’t help from letting her smile out a bit more.
“And now—" Bijou began, but was cut off by Florence’s father.
“I’m Hank, and we’re on a schedule,” he said.
Bijou looked at him, and for a second, Florence could see honest annoyance on his face, but in a service-industry-second it was gone.
“Busy folks, I can respect that. Down South things move a touch slower ‘cause they’re left out in the sun all day.” He motioned for the family to head toward the entrance to the park. “‘Round here, time’s a gentle stream.”
The park consisted of four major buildings: the main building that served as the entrance, exit and gift shop, an old blacksmith with an anvil out front, a stable with a lone horse peering at the family, and, where they were headed, a large mill by a stream, with what looked like a thin metal slide coming out of the side.
“Now this is the sifting trough,” Bijou said, “You ever panned for gold before, slugger?” he asked Arthur, as he handed out wide, flat bowls to the family.
“Nope,” Arthur said, looking excitedly at the trough and the mud at the bottom of it.
Bijou demonstrated the technique to the family. Florence’s father was the first to stick his bowl in the mud. He lifted it out of the water and began to shake and sift through the mud. Florence and Arthur followed and began looking for gold. Their mother watched from behind.
“Now most don’t know, but the first gold rush wasn’t way out in the wild wild West, but right here in Georgia. And, before you get any ideas about running off with the loot, this here ain’t real gold, it’s called fool’s gold, but since I told you, you won’t be fooled.”
Florence’s father plunged his bowl in again and revealed some flecks of gold in the mud.
“Maybe a few more of these and I can afford a second bird,” Florence’s father said to his wife while gesturing back at the sign.
Florence’s mother didn’t answer, but her fist was clenched at her side. Bijou didn’t hide his annoyance this time, and glared at Florence’s father while lowering his head. Florence noticed Arthur begin to perceive all of this, and said, “Hey look at that one,” pointing to Arthur’s bowl. There was a fleck of gold in the middle of the mud. “That’s a real good one you got there, Arthur.”
Florence realized that those were the first words she had spoken to Arthur that day and felt a bit guilty.
“You’ve got way bigger ones,” Arthur said, sounding a bit dejected.
“Here,” Florence said and walked behind her brother. “You just have to dig the bowl a little deeper into the mud, like this.” She grabbed Arthur’s hand and helped slide the bowl deep into the mud. When they pulled the bowl up, Florence could already see a few large chunks of gold in the muck.
“Wow, good job, Arty,” Florence said. She hadn’t called him that since elementary school, and it caught her a bit off guard.
“Thanks, Floor,” he said. That was the name Arthur gave her when he was too young to pronounce the whole thing, but it had stuck.
Florence’s mother inched away from her father, and Bijou noticed. “Alright folks,” he said, “Why don’t we head to our next destination. Florence, do y’all mind helping me grab all the bowls?”
The rest of the family headed away from the sifting trough. After collecting the bowls, Florence followed Bijou toward the rest of her family, but Bijou stopped suddenly in front of her. He leaned around towards her but never made direct eye contact.
“That little boy is going to need you,” he said.
“Didn’t you have an accent?” Florence asked. She was afraid of responding earnestly.
Bijou kept walking and, returning to a jolly tone, said, “Alright folks, let’s make our way to our next destination.” Florence froze in place for a moment before catching up with the group.
After the stable and blacksmith, the family found themselves in the gift shop. One entire room of the shop was devoted to opening geodes. Florence stood before what appeared to be a shallow indoor pool filled with them. Arthur was standing next to her with wide eyes.
“How about the two of you share one?” Bijou said from over their shoulders.
“Yeah,” Florence said. “You pick it out Arthur,” she added patting him on the shoulder.
Arthur began scouring through the geodes, lifting them up one by one, tapping them and then holding them to his ear.
“Well, I want my own,” Florence’s father said to his wife, and began looking at the other side of the pool.
After a while, Arthur came back to Florence with a large round geode in his hand. “What do think of this one?” he asked.
Florence held the geode in her hand and pretended to sniff it, ran her hands all over it, and closed her eyes. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said with a smile, “This is the one.”
Arthur and their father both handed their geodes to Bijou who walked them over to the cutting machine. Bijou sliced their father’s first. The machine roared to life and a thin jet of water cut the spherical stone in two. Bijou opened it up to reveal a pale, milky inside.
“That’s some nice quartz you got there,” Bijou said with little enthusiasm. Their father seemed unimpressed. He held the stone at his side and Florence noticed a small smirk come across Bijou’s face.
Then, Bijou slid Florence and Arthur’s geode onto the stand. The machine slowly sliced the rock, but seemed to struggle with the middle of the stone. Bijou kept having to rotate the stone and only seemed to be able to pierce the radius of the rock.
“There we go,” Bijou said, pulling the rock from the stand once he was finished. He held the rock in front of Arthur. “How about we get one of those world-famous karate chops I’ve been hearing so much about.”
Arthur held his hand straight over his head. He let it hang in the air for a second before bringing it down on the rock. Bijou quickly placed his thumb between the boy’s chop and the geode before cracking it open.
Inside, the rock was a cascade of milky and crystalline quartz. The outer ring was a deep amethyst and the colors within shone like the night sky, their edges twinkling like stars.
“Great pick,” Florence almost yelped when seeing the stone. Her father looked on from over their shoulders.
“Wow,” was all Arthur could say. He seemed to be inspecting each shade and crystal in the geode.
“Now you see that in the middle there. That brown section’s what I was having such a fuss with. That’s called staurolite,” Bijou said, pointing to the brown stone in the middle of the geode. The stone had natural edges that cut into and out of the geode.
“Now look,” Bijou said, taking each half of the geode and demonstrated, “because of the staurolite in the middle, these two stones will lock together.” He handed the stones back to Arthur and Florence. “You each take one of these, and whenever you’re together, you bring these stones together. No one can take that brother-sister bond from you.”
“It’s like magic,” Arthur said.
“Yeah, it is,” Florence added looking up at Bijou. She couldn’t tell if it was the flood light behind him or if he was radiating some glow of his own.
The family made their way to the exit. Arthur was focused on his geode and Florence’s mother and father looked ready to go. On their way out, Florence turned to see Bijou waving from the entrance. He gave her a nod and she smiled back. Before getting into the car, she noticed that her father had dropped his geode outside his door.
Back in the car and on the road, Florence’s mother asked Arthur, “Did you have a good time, sweetie?”
“Yeah, it was great,” he said, still transfixed on the geode.
“So where are we headed?” their father said.
Florence’s mother took a long look at the map. She glanced at a small sheet of paper from her purse with an address on it. Florence noticed that the address was still in Georgia, but didn’t think much of it. Her mother continued to trace her finger along the map, but looked more distraught as she went along. “Take a right at the next county road,” she said with a stammer, “582.”
The car ride continued in this fashion, with Florence’s mother giving uncertain directions to their father. To Florence, they didn’t seem to be headed in any one direction, and they might have circled around once or twice.
“Jesus, why haven’t we hit the highway yet?” Florence’s father said.
“I’m not sure, it’s just—” her mother said.
“What do you mean you’re not sure? It’s the big fucking line down the middle.” He took one hand off the steering wheel. “There, there, there,” he screamed, jabbing his finger onto the map.
Florence’s mother clasped one hand in the other in noticeable pain.
“You know you really are a fucking idiot,” he said and snatched the map out of her hand.
There it was thought Florence. With all the honesty and sincerity in the world. Her father calling her mother an idiot. It struck her. It struck her hard. It was something about the banality of it that made Florence feel it in her gut. There was no sarcasm. No wit. Her father called her mother an idiot. And worse, there was no response.
Florence’s father focused his attention on Arthur now, who had put the space suit back on and lowered the visor.
“Take that suit off now. You’re not going to space camp.”
Arthur tore off the helmet. “What? But you—”
“It’s time you grew up,” their father said, disdain on his lips. His wife was silent in the seat next to him—she was still holding her hand. “I’m taking you to the Holloway Youth Camp. It’s a nice little place for good Catholic boys and girls to get indoctrinated. I want you to witness it firsthand. This is your trial.”
Arthur screamed like a limb had been torn off. “No, I’m sorry,” he said, “If it’s about yesterday, I’m sorry. They’re liars. They’re all liars. I hate them. I hate them.”
“Good. That’s good,” he said but kept driving.
The car turned down a dirt road that was soon enveloped in dark woods. Florence tried to put her arm around her brother who was now sobbing, but he jerked himself away. She looked from her brother to her mother, who was now staring blankly out the front window. She didn’t seem to blink much.
Finally, her mother spoke. “It’ll be OK honey. You’ll see. Give it a chance, you might even make some friends,” she said with a tone so lacking in life that Florence felt nauseous.
“I don’t want to go here,” Arthur shouted. “Why are you doing this?” It seemed as though his question was made to everyone in the car, but the only one with a real answer in the car was tearing down the dirt road before him. “Mommy, please. I—”
Florence’s mother clenched her hand and closed her eyes. Florence saw that she wanted to be anywhere else, just as much as Arthur did.
Florence’s father stopped the car near the first gathering of buildings. He opened his door and slammed it shut before opening Arthur’s, then dragged his son out of his seat and onto the dirt. The left leg of his spacesuit tore open. Their father pulled him to his feet as a man in a white suit with a twisted mustache walked towards the car.
“You must be Mr. Bowman, and this must be Arthur,” he said.
Florence was shaking, but was still stuck watching her mother’s closed eyes. She felt the heat in her hands and shoulder and neck. The cushion beneath her became warm, and she broke out in a sweat within seconds. She sprung out of the car with every intention of attacking her father. With her bare hands, she wanted to rip years of what could have been a normal life out of him, not just hers, but her mother’s and Arthur’s, too.
But then, she saw Arthur, who had wriggled free from their father and was now alone, staring towards the wood, and she stopped. Her father was shaking hands with the man in white, and she looked back and fourth between Arthur and her father. So badly, she wanted to lash out, but her feet turned towards her brother, and her legs followed with the rest of her.
“Hey, Arty,” she said, completely at a loss.
He remained silent.
“I’m not going to ask you to give this place a chance,” she said.
Arthur was still quiet, his space helmet’s visor concealing his face.
“Look, I spent a lot of time trying to explain it, or understand why he’s this way, how he could be this way, like if I only could understand why he was this way, I could excuse it or something.” She hadn’t spoken with anyone about her father like this before.
She put her hand on his shoulder. “It was just wasted energy. Giving him more and more chances just hurt more and more. There’s no excusing it.”
Arthur lifted his visor and turned to his sister. His eyes were red and scratchy, but there was something like a smile on his face. He wrapped his arms around his sister and nuzzled his face into her shoulder.
“You’ve still got your half of the geode, right?” Florence asked.
“Yeah,” he said, his voice muffled.
“And you’re not gonna let anything happen to it, right?”
“We’ll put them back together when you’re done with camp, okay?”
“OK,” Arthur said as their father loomed over them.
“Florence, back in the car,” he said and grabbed Arthur by the arm before leading him to the camp Viscount. The Holloway of the Holloway Youth Camp.
As their car drove away, she looked through the rear window at her brother. He held his space helmet in one hand, his half of the geode in the other. The Viscount was holding him snuggly by the shoulder.
That night, the family pulled into a small motel in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere. There was no conversation, and each of the members of the family went about their nightly routines without acknowledging the other. Florence’s father had fallen asleep the moment they had arrived, and her mother was pulling off her makeup in long strokes.
Florence sat in bed and looked at the empty space next to her. On any other night, she might have been happy for the extra legroom, but not tonight, not ever again. She hoped the kids at Arthur’s camp were like kids everywhere. Weird at first, but fast friends, just like Arthur, except he stayed weird. Florence almost smiled at the thought, but caught herself, which made her ache more for him.
Florence’s mother had turned off the lights and lied in bed next to her husband. Florence stared at them, her father on his stomach, belly distended off the edge of the bed, her mother on her back, sleeping or pretending to.
Florence began attempting to concoct some story of how the two were when they met. How her father could have tricked her somehow into believing he was normal. The idea began to overwhelm her, so she grabbed her half of the geode and stepped outside.
Gazing at the dark silhouettes of the pines, Florence’s eyes were drawn to a large black and white billboard that she hadn’t noticed on their drive in. It read “Biggest Little Church on the Eastern Seaboard, .5 Miles.” The stars beyond the billboard reminded her of the geode in her hand.
She followed the old highway through the trees. A wind began to rustle the needles of the pines, which sounded like they were shushing themselves, as if they wanted to see where the girl would go.
After walking what she thought was about half a mile, Florence found a road, barely big enough for one car, that led straight into the pines. With little regard for her wellbeing left, she made her way down the dark path. The pines grew quieter as she walked, but the dark silhouettes of their rows of trunks seemed to guide her along.
She came to a clearing with what could only be a small wooden church in the middle. The front door must have been Florence’s height and the steeple only extended another two feet above that. The pines watched silently. Florence felt their presence, which seemed to close in around her. Before she knew it, she was standing at the front of the church. She was ducking her head to go through the doorway. She was seated at the sole two-person pew.
Without a chance to ask herself what had brought her out in the first place, she felt a warmth behind her, like a fireplace on a cool night.
“Hello,” a woman’s kind voice said.
Florence spun around. She saw an older woman with cherrywood skin dressed in a nun’s habit.
“What’s brought you here so late this night?” she asked Florence. Florence couldn’t place her accent but it sounded like a mix of Arabic and Cajun.
“Who are you?” Florence asked, unable to muster fright in the woman’s presence.
“They call me Sister Momma. And who are you?” she asked, sitting down next to Florence.
“I’m Florence.”
“That's a beautiful name, as beautiful as that stone you carry. Truly a gift. Don’t tell the pines. but,” she said leaning in, “my real name is Agnes.” Florence could hear the trees rustling outside. “Just hits the ear wrong, no?”
Florence shrugged sheepishly.
“So, Florence with the beautiful name, what brings you here on this night?”
“I—I’m not sure.”
Sister Momma exhaled out of her nose as a disappointed parent would. “Every time I get that answer, and every time it is a lie.” She took a breath, “Now tell me child, why have you come?”
Florence drew a deep breath of her own and, filled with a strength she couldn’t explain, began. “These past two days, all I’ve been able to do is watch, and I feel helpless. I’ve watched as my father berated my family and my mother. I’ve watched as he tore my brother from me and abandoned him at some camp, and I’ve watched my mother just sit and take all of this abuse. That’s what it is. Abuse. And, I want to yell at my mom the most, like why is she just letting this happen, to her, to all of us. Why haven’t I been able to say anything all this time?”
Sister Momma lowered her head and was silent. The whole forest felt silent around them.
“This saddens me to hear. No child should have to witness or experience this.”
“It’s not fair.”
“That is not for me to say. All I am trusted with is the knowledge of what we can do in this life.”
Florence looked at Sister Momma as if she held every truth of this world.
“We try,” Sister Momma said.
Florence was a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps sensing this, Sister Momma continued, “We try, and then we choose.” Florence still felt (and probably looked) a bit lost. “We try as best we can to change the world around us, and then whether it changes or it doesn’t, we choose what we do next. That is all we can do.”
“But—” Florence tried to ask, only the words were just air.
“Goodnight, Florence with the beautiful name.”
With that, Sister Momma was gone, but the warmth she had brought with her remained. Florence looked down at her geode. Then, she was out of the church. She was on the road. She was back in bed.
After a few hours of driving the next morning, the family was in Tallahassee. Something about crossing over the Florida state line made the air cling a little closer to you, hang on your breath a little longer. The air you wear, Florence’s father had blurted out of nowhere to no one’s acknowledgement.
The family found Florence’s dorm and began hauling her boxes up the two flights of stairs. Then, Florence’s father went to move the car to a visitor’s lot, leaving Florence and her mother alone for the first time on their trip.
For a moment, the two stared around the room. The few personal eccentricities Florence had brought from home did little to alleviate the concrete-walled design scheme. The two took a deep breath in at the same time, both wanting to speak, but Florence’s mother got the words out first.
“Do you think there’s anything else you want us to pick up for you while we’re here, sweetie?” she asked.
Florence was a bit taken aback. She was sure her mother was going to finally denounce her husband and his actions. “Is that all you really wanted to say, Mom?”
“Well, yes, honey.” She turned and shuffled through a box of clothes.
“Mom,” Florence started. She felt as if she shouldn’t even have to say anything.
“Yes, dear?” her mother said looking thoughtfully at her daughter.
“It’s Dad.”
“Yes, your father. What about him?”
“What about him?” Florence repeated, feeling her shoulders begin to shake. “Mom,” she took a gulp of air, pictured Bijou with the geode, Sister Momma in the forest, Arthur at the camp, her father’s blistering eyes, “He’s abusing you, mom. He treats you—he treats all of us like shit.”
At the word “shit,” her mother’s shoulders tensed. “Now just because you’re in college doesn’t mean you can—”
“Cut the curse word stuff. Mom, I’m trying to talk to you about Dad. Why do you let him treat you like that?”
“Oh, he’s not so bad. We have a screaming match every now and again. When you’ve been married as long as we have—”
“No,” Florence cut her off again, “Debbie’s parents, Charley’s, Amber’s, they get in arguments. One doesn’t abuse the other. What about the map?”
“Oh honey, that was my fault. You know I’m no good with directions.”
“You didn’t want to bring Arthur there, I know it. Mom, he called you an idiot to your face. Your husband thinks you’re an idiot. He’s abusing you.”
Florence could see that her mother was beginning to look frightened, how she looked when her father yelled at her. She took a step back. Soothing her tone, she looked straight into her mother’s eyes and asked, “Is that what you would want for me? Is the relationship you and dad have what you would want for your daughter?”
Florence couldn’t read the expression on her mother’s face. She looked hurt, like she’d been beaten at a game she never wanted to play. After a moment, tears began to form in her eyes.
“I know this is a scary time for you, honey. You can come home any time you miss us.” She leaned in and hugged Florence, who lightly placed her arms around her.
Florence felt all the charge leave her body. She had tried.
From over her mother’s shoulder, Florence saw her half of the geode on her desk. Sun rays were catching the corners of the crystal, illuminating them like stars in Florence’s personal universe.

Clear decisions pivotal for diversification success
Posted by LT's Eggs on March 8, 2016
AT times farmers are faced with forks in the road, difficult decisions to be made out of necessity, and the nature and difficulty of the decision still lingers for many.
But the innovation of LT’s Egg Farm owner Brian Ahmed has helped transform the family egg farm into a thriving business, and he is adamant that clear decisions have steered his business in the right direction. An active community member, Ahmed has been involved with the Victorian Farmers Federation since 1990, holding numerous positions in the group including board member, and is the current Egg Group president.
His ability to take the family egg farm in Werribee and revamp it to include the Wyndham Cache café and gourmet produce was why he was named the Farming Ahead Australian Diversification Farmer of the Year at the Kondinin Group-ABC Rural Australian Farmer of the Year Awards in Melbourne last September.Ahmed’s proficiency in the egg industry also saw him named as a finalist of the premier category Australian Farmer of the Year, while he was also a finalist of the awards’ egg category.
LT’s Egg Farm was established as a family business in 1970, and while it began with a mixture of 1500 free range and caged birds, it now houses 20,000 laying hens which lay roughly seven million eggs per year.
Forty years after the family egg farm was established, the business entered into the retail and hospitality industry under the banner of Wyndham Cache, developing products to complement the farm’s egg and poultry products.
He believes the new direction continues to benefit the ever-expanding business.
“Diversification has provided the business long-term security and a sustainable model,” Ahmed said.
“The Diversification Farmer of the Year Award reassured us that we were heading in the right direction as a business and it has also given our long term customers and new customers confidence in our products.”

People Should Have Right To Chose Eggs
Posted by LT's Eggs on March 10, 2015
As a second-generation egg farmer passionate about progressing and continuing my family business, I am offended by claims the caged-egg “brand” is so damaged in Australia it may not be viable for much longer.

Egg Sales Hatch New Oppotunities
Posted by LT's Eggs on February 12, 2015
While the egg may have come first for Victorian farmer Brian Ahmed, what followed was far more diverse than simply chickens. Since inheriting the family egg production business, Brian – in partnership with his wife and brother – has diversified into not one but three other separate enterprises. Brian’s only regret about diversifying is that they did not do it sooner.
Brian is managing director of LT’s Eggs, a wholesale supplier of eggs in the Werribee region of Victoria. What began as a small-scale operation with just 500 birds now produces about 2000 dozen eggs a day from 30,000 birds.
He also operates a retail outlet called Wyndham Cache, selling eggs as well as a range of gourmet food products, including poultry.

RE: [xml-dev] Your XML documents may use different sets of characters, depending on which implementer you select?
From: "Costello, Roger L." <costello@mitre.org>
To: "xml-dev@lists.xml.org" <xml-dev@lists.xml.org>

Excellent feedback! Thanks!
Here's a summary of what I've learned. Please tell me where I err.
The following statements apply to "data" not to "markup" (i.e., element names, attribute names).
1. Except for unpaired surrogate codepoints and a few control characters, you can use any character you want in XML documents.
2. The characters don't have to be defined in the Unicode specification.
3. For characters that don't have a visual representation or aren't in the Unicode character set, you can use them via XML's character entity mechanism, e.g., ￭
4. Implementers of XML applications are free to choose which version of Unicode they will support. Thus, one implementer of an XML Schema validator may choose to support Unicode 2.0, while another implementer of an XML Schema validator may choose to support Unicode 2.1. One implementer of an XSLT processor may choose to support Unicode 2.0, while another implementer of an XSLT processor may choose to support Unicode 2.1.
5. In XML applications that use regular expressions (e.g. XML Schema, XSLT), be careful about using regexes that contain regex categories such as Nd. The characters in those regex categories may vary depending on which version of Unicode an implementer supports. Thus, your application may execute without errors with one vendor's tool and fail on another.
6. CREPDL is a technology that allows you to precisely define the universe of characters that you want to allow in your XML documents.

Capital live - men's fashion week kicks off in London
Men's fashion week
This week's men's fashion week in London - the second dedicated week for us blokes and the biggest yet, kicked off last night with a party at Harvey Nichols. Caroline Rush, the chief executive of the British Fashion Council, and Dylan Jones of GQ and hair of the Fashion 2012 Menswear Committee were there. In today's paper we have a men's fashion special, and we will bring you updates from the shows as they begin on this blog.
by Joshi Herrmann 1/7/2013 9:28:38 AM
The first show of the morning, by Belstaff, kicked off forty minutes ago. GQ's Twitter reporter says that David Gandy, Tommy Hilfiger, Natalie Massenet and Jodie Kidd were all there - a very strong showing.
It was a static presentation, but @TheChicGeekcouk tweeted this pic of models on motorbikes. Not quite a catwalk, but a decent start to our day.
And so it begins - #LCM @belstaff taking ownership of the motorcycle. twitter.com/TheChicGeekcou…
— The Chic Geek (@TheChicGeekcouk) January 7, 2013
Next up is Lou Dalton, and our fashion editor Karen Dacre is there.
Tube tweets
A couple of good tales from this morning.
10 points to the girl on the tube who just asked a nauseating couple to stop leaning on her while they kissed... #idol
— Sarah Biddlecombe (@_sarahstweets) January 7, 2013
had a full on row on the tube with a middle aged man. Lol. And then made him apologise to me in front of the carriage. My Monday is made.
— Liz (@lizabelly) January 7, 2013
@abbzzw apparently I shoved him with my handbag- queue explanation of how my handbag is too expensive to shove anyone let alone him with lol
Lou Dalton's catwalk show - the first proper show of the day - was supposed to have started at 10...It hasn't. As a novice fashion blogger, perhaps I should have known this was going to happen and planned a different blog post for ten past ten. But I didn't.
Nevertheless, our fashion editor Karen Dacre has been athlete spotting.
Lou Dalton is first up at London Collections: Men this morning and Victoria Pendleton is in the house. #GoodStart
— Karen Dacre (@karendacre) January 7, 2013
by Joshi Herrmann 1/7/2013 10:10:01 AM
GQ have posted the first pic of Pendleton at the Lou Dalton show. The show is underway now. I've just seen a guy in a maroon boiler suit looking grumpy.

The show has just ended and Karen Dacre will have her verdict in soon. www.fashionising.com are livestreaming, if you fancy knowing more than I can tell you.
London Bridge closure
News has just come through about the closure of the bus station at London Bridge, used by hundreds of thousands of commuters every day. TfL says:
Following further investigative work into the collapsed sewer on London Bridge Street, Thames Water have now confirmed that repairs are likely to take a number of weeks meaning that the bus station will now remain closed until mid March.
Routes 48, 149, 521 and N21 will continue to call at nearby stops on London Bridge and route N343 will continue to call at Borough Tube station.
Routes 43 and 141 will only run as far as Bank. You are advised to take route 21 from London Bridge and change at Bank Tube station in Princes Street.
Return of Dave?
A short piece in this morning's Times by political editor Roland Watson has got Westminster whispering about the possible return of Ed Miliband's older brother David to front line politics. Watson wrote:
David Miliband is beginning to give serious thought to a return to the front line...an emerging scenario would see him return to the Labour front bench next spring.
He goes on to say that his return could be at the expense of shadow chancellor Ed Balls.
Prominent lefty blogger Mark Ferguson has already asked David to make his return immediately rather than waiting. And Mike Smithson of PoliticalBetting says Ladbrokes have the older Miliband at 14-1 to be the next chancellor.
The assumption everywhere is that the decision will be David's and Ed will gleefully do whatever his older brother fancies. In November, David told the Standard in an interview that "Ed is leading the party with strength and clarity." Enough strength to remove his famously tough shadow chancellor, the other Ed, and bring back his bro in his place? That would be something.
Our fashion editor Karen Dacre has just filed some words from the Lou Dalton show, which happened less than an hour ago. She says:
The designer who opened proceedings for the second season running took the North Sea oil boom of the 1970s as inspiration. Citing the film Local Hero and the remote Scottish island of Shetland as a starting point, she unveiled a collection of heavy-duty flannel suits, boiled wool sweaters and tartan slim-cut trousers at The Hospital Club in Covent Garden.
The offering was masculine and decidedly heavy duty. A utilitarian silhouette dominated. Boiler suits in modern sportswear fabrics were juxtaposed with traditional tailoring. Dalton's 1970s reference point was further emphasised with tartan trousers and thick-soled boots which hinted at a nostalgia for the punk sensibility which dominated during that time. Among the show's high point was a pistachio green jumper which came teamed with slim oil skin trousers and a beautifully cut dinner suit which demonstrated the designer's savvy skill as a tailor.
Having graduated from London’s Royal College of Art in 2008, Dalton is one of British menswear’s brightest new talents. She is joined on the schedule this week by a host of established heritage brands including Richard James, Hardy Amies and Alexander McQueen who will show on the schedule for the first time.
TfL are reporting minor delays on the Bakerloo line, while they fix some signals at Regents Park.
Karen Dacre is at the Orlebar Brown presentation, and tweets a very summery number...
Orlebar Brown goes to Miami - where its always summer. #LCM twitter.com/karendacre/sta…
Here's another picture of the Queen or the track, Victoria Pendleton, at Lou Dalton's show this morning.
In ten minutes the Topman Design show begins, perhaps the centre piece of today's fashion action. We will have updates galore.

Kate Winslet's husband in court to stop 'embarrassing' photos

HART Press Release April 30, 2010
Severe case of suspected abuse leaves Golden Retrievers with head, brain trauma
Highland Animal Relief Team appeals to residents to help solve crime
Bancroft, Ontario: April 30, 2010. 6 weeks after finding two Golden Retrievers, abandoned and near death on a country road in Apsley, Ontario, volunteers with the Highland Animal Relief Team (HART) are appealing to residents to help identify the person or persons responsible for the crime.
The two dogs, named Tasha and Sophie, were found on March 13th, with severe head trauma – consistent with having been beaten over the head. Both dogs have fractured skulls and have lost the use of one eye. Sophie has a ruptured eardrum and is still at risk of losing her damaged eye. Both suffer from brain injury, and Sophie will likely have permanent neurological dysfunction as a result of her injuries. Both were anaemic from blood loss.
“We’re hoping someone might have information to help solve the crime,” said Sandra, HART volunteer. “The likelihood of charges being laid is slim unless someone comes forward with more information.”
The dogs were not expected to survive the suspected beating, but thanks to exceptional around the clock care from the Apsley Veterinary Services, the two dogs are now convalescing in a foster home – under constant emotional and medical care.
Tips can be called in anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or the Bancroft OPP station 613-332-2112.

April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month
Help prevent cruelty to animals by learning to identify cruelty, and understanding what steps you can take to stop it. It is only through action that we can make a difference.
Each year HART/Newf Friends has animals come into our care who have been the victims of cruelty in the form of neglect or cases of intentional cruelty. Dogs who have been abandoned, starved, denied veterinary care for injuries or illnesses, shot, beaten, dragged behind cars…..we see it all. With the help of concerned citizens who call in tips, police officers and animal control officers are able to investigate cruelty allegations and save animals from further harm. This can only happen if people come forward and report cruelty. Please, if you witness cruelty, don’t turn a blind eye and let the animals continue to suffer. Report cruelty, and save a life.
HART’s Bancroft Times Ad April 7, 2010 Click the image to see in larger size
We have had several dogs come into HART’s care in recent months who have been the victims of cruelty. The most recent case involves 8 year old littermates Sophie and Tasha who are currently in the loving care of a Newf Friends/HART foster home.
On March 13, 2010 these gentle family dogs were found on a country road in Apsley, Ontario, barely clinging to life with severe head trauma. Their injuries are NOT consistent with being struck by a car--both show only injuries to the top of the head. Their injuries ARE consistent with being beaten over the head.
Sophie is pictured here several days after her injuries were sustained. Sophie was not expected to survive, but she managed to pull through. In this photo much of the swelling in her head had reduced and her eye returned to the socket. There is still a significant chance that her eye will need to be removed. She suffered multiple fractures around her occipital lobe. She had extensive brain swelling, bleeding, was unable to move her tongue for days after her injuries, could not use her jaw, and was unable to swallow. Her tongue continues to flop out of her mouth. She has permanent brain damage, and her gait has been affected as she is no longer able to walk in a straight line.
Tasha is shown here several days after her injuries were sustained. Her eye swollen and bloody, she has lost her vision in one eye and is still at risk of losing her eye. Suffering from a fractured skull and much swelling she has been on pain meds since her injuries.
The girls’ injuries were extensive, and survival unlikely. Thanks to exceptional around the clock care from Dr. Kim Facey, Apsley Veterinary Services, these two girls beat the odds and survived. Tasha and Sophie both have fractured skulls and have each lost the use of one eye. Sophie has a ruptured ear drum and both girls are still at risk of losing their damaged eyes. Both girls suffer from brain injury, and Sophie will likely have permanent neurological dysfunction as a result of her injuries. Both girls were anemic from blood loss–-Sophie had chronic nosebleeds for nearly a week after her injuries.
After a week of hospitalization, the girls were moved to their foster home, where they have continued to receive medical care, with medication and treatments multiple times a day. Dr. Facey travels to their foster location to reassess the girls regularly.
The girls in their foster home shortly after arriving. Sophie’s head still has swelling, and both girls have swollen eyes.
Donations are needed to help cover the high cost of pain medications, eye medications, vet care including potential removal of Sophie or Tasha's eye and spaying of both girls once they are healthy enough. HART is a registered charity and a tax receipt will be issued for your kind donation. Donations can be made to HART online – in the comments section, note that you would like the funds directed to Sophie and Tasha. Cheques payable to HART can be mailed to HART PO Box 1713 Bancroft, ON K0L 1C0
The girls at their foster home a few weeks after arriving.
The criminal investigation into what happened to Sophie and Tasha is not complete and we are not able to go into specific details at this time. There is a lack of concrete evidence and this is making the investigation difficult--the likelihood of charges being laid are slim unless someone comes forward with more information. Tips can be called in anonymously to CrimeStoppers 1-800-222-TIPS or the Bancroft OPP station 613-332-2112.
The girls at their foster home -- enjoying some playtime now that they are starting to feel better.
Updated.......
Above, Sophie is seen, 6 weeks after her injuries, running happily at her foster home.

TOWN TAKES POSSESSION OF FORMER HIGH SCHOOL PROPERTY
The Town of Niagara-on-the Lake has officially become the owner of the lands and building at 1875 Niagara Stone Road, the former Niagara District Secondary School. Council will now begin to seek public input and review possible uses of the site.

K-12 Innovators Tips for Leading District Change
Change is great, but unless implemented correctly and across the board, it has the potential to fail. How can you make sure that your blended or personalized learning strategy or any new initiative succeeds?
6 tips from personalized learning innovators leading change
BY JULIA FREELAND FISHER
The change management strategies driving today's new education models
Earlier this year, the Rhode Island-based Highlander Institute and the Clayton Christensen Institute teamed up to bring together a conference on blended and personalized learning in Providence, R.I. The goal of the event was to focus on the practical elements of blended and personalized learning by surfacing the tactics that practitioners were deploying in the trenches. More than 100 teachers and leaders from around the country were invited to share their approaches to piloting and scaling blended learning in classrooms and schools, which we summarized in our latest report, From the Frontlines, out this week.
Although our many presenters hailed from a variety of geographies and contexts, one refrain echoed loudly throughout the Providence Convention Center: implementing blended and personalized learning is about managing change. Innovators stressed that without effective change management, the best technology tools and the most elegant personalized learning models will come up short. Here are six change management strategies that practitioners stressed as vital to driving new models of learning across traditional systems:
1. Embrace not knowing
One tension in managing change across a classroom or an entire district is making the unknown an opportunity rather than a threat. This framing depends on leaders who are willing to make the unknown safe. As Amanda Murphy, a Highlander Institute Fuse Rhode Island Fellow from Westerly Public Schools, put it, managing change across a system is about “supporting the eager, but non-expert.” In part, this requires giving people room to express concerns. “We had faculty volunteers who were interested but didn’t have expertise,” she said. “They talked about why they were nervous, and this helped people understand that there were many others in the same boat. It set the tone that it’s okay not to know. And now they’re asking for help.”
2. Co-design
All too often, new approaches to instruction are designed in isolation from the teachers who will be implementing those approaches. Participants stressed that limiting the number of seats around a blended and personalized learning design table, in turn, limits the level of teacher buy-in to new classroom models. “Leaders have ideas for teachers, but it doesn’t work top-down,” said Julia Rafal-Baer of Chiefs for Change, a nonprofit network of state and district education leaders. “Teachers need to be part of the strategic conversation.” Leaders noted that the more teachers are involved in the design process upfront, the more likely they will be to persist and adapt when challenges to implementation inevitably arise.
3. Cultivate early adopters
Many initiatives that participants discussed came from a few early innovators trying new approaches within their systems. Early adopters of blended and personalized can also provide a powerful antidote to top-down directives. For example, Donna Vallese, a former principal at Nowell Leadership Academy, a public charter school in Rhode Island, said she never told teachers they had to use certain tools like Google Classroom. “Instead, it was seeded with early adopters,” she said. “It spread organically from the ground up, and then everyone was doing it.”
4. Open doors
Classrooms can be infamously siloed environments where teachers operate in isolation. Participants noted that for educators pursuing innovative classroom models, breaking down those silos was critical. Tracey Nangle, a teacher in North Smithfield School District in Rhode Island, said that an open-door policy at her middle school helped to shift schoolwide attitudes and culture in favor of collaborative learning. “Teachers are given release time to work as teams and observe classrooms together. It builds respect between colleagues and exposes all of the great work that is happening,” Nangle said.
5. Rethink roles
As schools manage change across their instructional models, the traditional roles that adults play may shift. David Richards of Fraser Public Schools described how his districts’ move to competency-based learning prompted a rethinking not just of teachers’ roles, but also of roles across the schools and ecosystem. “We looked at the positions we had and then abandoned them for the positions we needed,” he said. Similarly, Eric Tucker of Brooklyn Lab Charter School in New York recommended using personalized learning models to move teachers away from the one-size-fits-all role they’ve traditionally played. “Embrace that educators have different skills and strengths,” he said.
6. Make time
Practitioners looking to adopt blended and personalized learning practices stressed that the learning curve is steep and time scarce. Yet, some school leaders are finding creative ways to give teachers and themselves more time for year-round professional growth and for adapting to new tools and techniques. For example, Scott Frauenheim shared how Distinctive Schools created an unprecedented chunk of time for peer-to-peer learning during the school day by working with a scheduling expert to update where time gets allocated each day. “We found 105 minutes of planning and collaboration time by minimizing transitions between classes. This time is helping to prevent burnout and helping teachers learn to let go of what they’ve always done,” he said.

A functional progesterone receptor is required for immunomodulation, reduction of reactive gliosis...
Authors: Labombarda, Maria Florencia; Jure, Ignacio; Gonzalez, Susana Laura; Lima, Analia Ethel; Roig, Paulina; Guennoun, Rachida; Schumacher, Michael; de Nicola, Alejandro Federico
The anti-inflammatory effects of progesterone have been increasingly recognized in several neuropathological models, including spinal cord inflammation. In the present investigation, we explored the regulation of proinflammatory factors and enzymes by progesterone at several time points after spinal cord injury (SCI) in male rats. We also demonstrated the role of the progesterone receptor (PR) in inhibiting inflammation and reactive gliosis, and in enhancing the survival of oligodendrocyte progenitors cells (OPC) in injured PR knockout (PRKO) mice receiving progesterone. First, after SCI in rats, progesterone greatly attenuated the injury-induced hyperexpression of the mRNAs of interleukin 1β (IL1β), IL6, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), all involved in oligodendrocyte damage. Second, the role of the PR was investigated in PRKO mice after SCI, in which progesterone failed to reduce the high expression of IL1β, IL6, TNFα and IκB-α mRNAs, the latter being considered an index of reduced NF-κB transactivation. These effects occurred in a time framework coincident with a reduction in the astrocyte and microglial responses. In contrast to wild-type mice, progesterone did not increase the density of OPC and did not prevent apoptotic death of these cells in PRKO mice. Our results support a role of PR in: (a) the anti-inflammatory effects of progesterone; (b) the modulation of astrocyte and microglial responses and (c) the prevention of OPC apoptosis, a mechanism that would enhance the commitment of progenitors to the remyelination pathway in the injured spinal cord.

Distribution of membrane progesterone receptor alpha in the male mouse and rat brain and its regulation after traumatic brain injury
Authors: Meffre, D.; Labombarda, Maria Florencia; Delespierre, B.; Chastre, A.; de Nicola, Alejandro Federico; Stein, D. G.; Schumacher, Michael; Guennoun, Rachida
Progesterone has been shown to exert pleiotropic actions in the brain of both male and females. In particular, after traumatic brain injury (TBI), progesterone has important neuroprotective effects. In addition to intracellular progesterone receptors, membrane receptors of the hormone such as membrane progesterone receptor (mPR) may also be involved in neuroprotection. Three mPR subtypes (mPRα, mPRβ, and mPRγ) have been described and mPRα is best characterized pharmacologically. In the present study we investigated the distribution, cellular localization and the regulation of mPRα in male mouse and rat brain. We showed by reverse transcription-PCR that mPRα is expressed at similar levels in the male and female mouse brain suggesting that its expression may not be influenced by steroid levels. Treatment of males by estradiol or progesterone did not modify the level of expression of mPRα as shown by Western blot analysis. In situhybridization and immunohistochemistry analysis showed a wide expression of mPRα in particular in the olfactory bulb, striatum, cortex, thalamus, hypothalamus, septum, hippocampus and cerebellum. Double immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy analysis showed that mPRα is expressed by neurons but not by oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. In the rat brain, the distribution of mPRα was similar to that observed in mouse brain; and after TBI, mPRα expression was induced in oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and reactive microglia. The wide neuroanatomical distribution of mPRα suggests that this receptor may play a role beyond neuroendocrine and reproductive functions. However, in the absence of injury its role might be restricted to neurons. The induction of mPRα after TBI in microglia, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, points to a potential role in mediating the modulatory effects of progesterone in inflammation, ion and water homeostasis and myelin repair in the injured brain.

Effects of injury and progesterone treatment on progesterone receptor and progesterone binding protein 25-Dx expression in the rat spinal cord
Authors: Labombarda, Maria Florencia; Gonzalez, Susana Laura; Gonzalez Deniselle, Maria Claudia; Vinson, G. P.; Schumacher, Michael; de Nicola, Alejandro Federico; Guennoun, Rachida
Progesterone provides neuroprotection after spinal cord injury, but the molecular mechanisms involved in this effect are not completely understood. In this work, expression of two binding proteins for progesterone was studied in intact and injured rat spinal cord: the classical intracellular progesterone receptor (PR) and 25-Dx, a recently discovered progesterone membrane binding site. RT-PCR was employed to determine their relative mRNA levels, whereas cellular localization and relative protein levels were investigated by immunocytochemistry. We observed that spinal cord PR mRNA was not up-regulated by estrogen in contrast to what is observed in many brain areas and in the uterus, but was abundant as it amounted to a third of that measured in the estradiol-stimulated uterus. In male rats with complete spinal cord transection, levels of PR mRNA were significantly decreased, while those of 25-Dx mRNA remained unchanged with respect to control animals. When spinal cord-injured animals received progesterone treatment during 72 h, PR mRNA levels were not affected and remained low, whereas 25-Dx mRNA levels were significantly increased. Immunostaining of PR showed its intracellular localization in both neurons and glial cells, whereas 25-Dx immunoreactivity was localized to cell membranes of dorsal horn and central canal neurons. As the two binding proteins for progesterone differ with respect to their response to lesion, their regulation by progesterone, their cellular and subcellular localizations, their functions may differ under normal and pathological conditions. These observations point to a novel and potentially important role of the progesterone binding protein 25-Dx after injury of the nervous system and suggest that the neuroprotective effects of progesterone may not necessarily be mediated by the classical progesterone receptor but may involve distinct membrane binding sites.

Neuroprotection by steroids after neurotrauma in organotypic spinal cord cultures: A key role for progesterone receptors and steroidal modulators of GABAA receptors
Authors: Labombarda, Maria Florencia; Ghoumari, Abdel Moumen; Liere, Phillippe; de Nicola, Alejandro Federico; Schumacher, Michael; Guennoun, Rachida
Progesterone is neuroprotective after spinal cord injury, however its mechanism of action remains unexplored. Here we used organotypic spinal cord slice cultures from 3 weeks-old mice to evaluate the mechanisms of neuroprotection by progesterone and its 5α-reduced metabolites. In vitro spinal cord injury, using a weight drop model, induced a decrease in the number of motoneurons. This was correlated with an increase in the number of dying cells (PI+ cells) and in LDH release. Addition of 10 μM of progesterone, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5α-DHP) or allopregnanolone (3α, 5α-tetrahydroprogesterone) to the medium at the time of injury rescued the spinal cord slices from the effects of damage. Progesterone prevented membrane cell damage, motoneuron loss and cell death. These effects were not due to its bioconversion to 5α-DHP nor to allopregnanolone, as supported by the finasteride, an inhibitor of 5α-reductase enzymes, and by the absence of 5α-reduced progesterone metabolites in the slices analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The neuroprotective effects of progesterone required PR as they could not be observed in slices from homozygous knockout PR−/− mice. Allopregnanolone treatment was also neuroprotective. Its effects were not due to its bioconversion back to 5α-DHP, which can activate gene transcription via PR, because they were still observed in slices from knockout PR−/− mice. Allopregnanolone effects involved GABAA receptors, as they were inhibited by the selective GABAA receptor antagonist Gabazine, in both PR+/+ and PR−/− mice. Altogether, these findings identify both PR and GABAA receptors as important targets for neuroprotection by progestagens after spinal cord injury,

Progesterone neuroprotection in spinal cord trauma involves up-regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in motoneurons
Authors: Gonzalez, Susana Laura; Labombarda, Maria Florencia; Gonzalez Deniselle, Maria Claudia; Mougel, Analia; Guennoun, Rachida; Schumacher, Michael; de Nicola, Alejandro Federico
Progesterone (PROG) provides neuroprotection to the injured central and peripheral nervous system. These effects may be due to regulation of myelin synthesis in glial cells and also to direct actions on neuronal function. Both types of cells express classical intracellular PROG receptors (PR), while neurons additionally express the PROG membrane-binding site called 25-Dx. In motoneurons from rats with spinal cord injury (SCI), PROG restores to normal the deficient levels of choline acetyl-transferase and of α3 subunit Na,K-ATPase mRNA, while levels of the growth associated protein GAP-43 mRNA are further stimulated. Recent studies suggest that neurotrophins are possible mediators of hormone action, and in agreement with this assumption, PROG treatment of rats with SCI increases the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) at both the mRNA and protein levels in ventral horn motoneurons. In situ hybridization (ISH) has shown that SCI reduces BDNF mRNA levels by 50% in spinal motoneurons, while PROG administration to injured rats (4 mg/kg/day during 3 days, s.c.) elicits a three-fold increase in grain density. In addition to enhancement of mRNA levels, PROG increases BDNF immunoreactivity in perikaryon and cell processes of motoneurons of the lesioned spinal cord, and also prevents the lesion-induced chromatolytic degeneration of spinal cord motoneurons as determined by Nissl staining. Our findings strongly indicate that motoneurons of the spinal cord are targets of PROG, as confirmed by the expression of PR and the regulation of molecular parameters. PROG enhancement of endogenous neuronal BDNF could provide a trophic environment within the lesioned spinal cord and might be part of the PROG activated-pathways to provide neuroprotection. Thus, PROG treatment constitutes a new approach to sustain neuronal function after injury. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

UNIONISM PUSHES THE IRISH ‘PEACE PROCESS’ FURTHER TO THE SECTARIAN RIGHT
Category: Against Unionism,Combined struggles for Emancipation, Liberation and National Self-Determination,For Self-Determination: Struggles against Alienation,Ireland,UK state/British imperialism,US imperialism — RCN @ 2:22 pm
Below are three articles from the Socialist Democracy (Ireland) website highlighting the role of Loyalism and mainstream Ulster Unionism, aided by the UK government in pushing the Good Friday Agreement further to the sectarian right. Underscoring the UK state’s own declining imperial role, Richard Haas, the unofficial US representative has been drawn in to help them.
These articles also highlight the role of the Catholic Church and middle class, who go along with this, in return for official state recognition and their cut of state backed sectarian funding and job allocation. Sinn Fein, in its adopted role of making the UK-state brokered settlement work, is is central to this process too. The last article also highlights the methods the UK state is prepared to resort to, whenever it feels threatened.
