Thanksgiving focuses on God's gifts. Our challenge is to take nothing for granted, but to appreciate every blessing. Thanksgiving is a way of life. Indeed, the prayer of thanksgiving characterizes a eucharistic people. Our gratitude centers on the greatest gift of all—Jesus. This gift, and all the other gifts through God's providence, are expressions of God's love. How fitting and just it is that we always and everywhere express our gratitude to the Lord.
—from the book Living Prayer: A Simple Guide to Everyday Enlightenment by Robert F. Mourneau
† Saint Quote
"Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the most tender of friends with souls who seek to please Him. His goodness knows how to proportion itself to the smallest of His creatures as to the greatest of them. Be not afraid then in your solitary conversations, to tell Him of your miseries, fears, worries, of those who are dear to you, of your projects, and of your hopes. Do so with confidence and with an open heart."
— St. Damien of Molokai
"The fullness of wisdom is fear of the Lord, she is present with the faithful in the womb (Sirach 1:14). Fear of the Lord does not mean to be afraid of God. It means to stand in awe and wonder before the greatness of the Lord. When we recognize that God is God and we are creatures, we develop a healthy sense of humility. We acknowledge our need for wisdom and grace, which are both gifts of the Holy Spirit."
— Rev. Jude Winkler, p. 9
Daily Meditations Holy Spirit
"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.'"
BLESSED DENIS OF THE NATIVITY
Blessed Denis of the Nativity (1600-1638) was born as Pierre Berthelotin in France and became a sailor at the age of twelve. He had a successful career as pilot-in-chief and cartographer in service to the Kings of France and Portugal, even being knighted for bravery. He later chose the religious life and became a Carmelite friar, taking the name Dionysius (Denis) of the Nativity. He was sent by his superiors on a diplomatic and missionary mission to the Sultan of Aceh (Sumatra). Once there, all the members of his party were seized at the instigation of the Dutch authorities. They were tortured by their Islamic captors and were told to renounce their Catholic faith and become Muslims. They refused and were martyred. St Denis was martyred last, as he desired, in order to be able to strengthen the others. He was killed by a scimitar blow that split his head in two. His last words were: "Jesus, Mary."
Dn 7:2-14
In a vision I, Daniel, saw during the night,
the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea,
from which emerged four immense beasts,
each different from the others.
The first was like a lion, but with eagle's wings.
While I watched, the wings were plucked;
it was raised from the ground to stand on two feet
like a man, and given a human mind.
The second was like a bear; it was raised up on one side,
and among the teeth in its mouth were three tusks.
It was given the order, "Up, devour much flesh."
After this I looked and saw another beast, like a leopard;
on its back were four wings like those of a bird,
and it had four heads.
To this beast dominion was given.
After this, in the visions of the night I saw the fourth beast,
different from all the others,
terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength;
it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed,
and what was left it trampled with its feet.
I was considering the ten horns it had,
when suddenly another, a little horn, sprang out of their midst,
and three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it.
This horn had eyes like a man,
and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.
As I watched,
Thrones were set up
and the Ancient One took his throne.
His clothing was snow bright,
and the hair on his head as white as wool;
His throne was flames of fire,
with wheels of burning fire.
A surging stream of fire
flowed out from where he sat;
Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,
and myriads upon myriads attended him.
The court was convened, and the books were opened.
I watched, then, from the first of the arrogant words
which the horn spoke, until the beast was slain
and its body thrown into the fire to be burnt up.
The other beasts, which also lost their dominion,
were granted a prolongation of life for a time and a season.
As the visions during the night continued, I saw
One like a son of man coming,
on the clouds of heaven;
When he reached the Ancient One
and was presented before him,
He received dominion, glory, and kingship;
nations and peoples of every language serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not be taken away,
his kingship shall not be destroyed.
Responsorial Psalm
Daniel 3:75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81
R. Give glory and eternal praise to him!
"Mountains and hills, bless the Lord;
praise and exalt him above all forever."
"Everything growing from the earth, bless the Lord;
praise and exalt him above all forever.
R. Give glory and eternal praise to him!"
"You springs, bless the Lord;
"Seas and rivers, bless the Lord;
"You dolphins and all water creatures, bless the Lord;
"All you birds of the air, bless the Lord;
"All you beasts, wild and tame, bless the Lord;
Lk 21:28
Stand erect and raise your heads
because your redemption is at hand.
Lk 21:29-33
Jesus told his disciples a parable.
"Consider the fig tree and all the other trees.
When their buds burst open,
you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near;
in the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that the Kingdom of God is near.
Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away
until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away."
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed. (Daniel 7:14)
Fantastical characters, carnage and battle, unexpected plot twists—Hollywood blockbusters certainly have nothing on Daniel's vision! Movies use creative techniques and special effects, but at their core, they are still just trying to tell a story. And so is Daniel. So we should ask ourselves what he's saying.
It can be tempting to try to dissect Daniel's story. What does the horn mean? Why does one beast have his feathers plucked? Why were the beasts, once defeated, granted a "prolongation of life" (Daniel 7:12)? And why, in the midst of the story of all those beasts, do we have descriptions of an "Ancient One" (7:9, 13)? Biblical scholars say Daniel's vision is a creative interpretation of Israel's past and present, ending with the promise that God's justice will prevail. But that doesn't keep us from wanting to look for predictions of the future in the cryptic symbolism Daniel uses.
Jesus cuts through it all. In today's Gospel, after he himself has described the end times, he makes a simple but crucial point: when the tree buds, summer is coming. It's not mysterious; it's something we can see for ourselves. We don't need complicated tools to dissect scary prophesies. We know how the story ends—with Jesus' victory!
Will we confront turbulence? Yes. Will natural disasters occur? Yes. Will people try to deceive the faithful? Yes. But don't forget: all of this has gone on since the fall of our first parents, and it will continue until Jesus comes again. But no matter what the future holds, Jesus is victorious.
As Pope Francis proclaimed at the inaugural Mass for his first World Youth Day, "The 'dragon,' evil, is present in our history, but it does not have the upper hand. The One with the upper hand is God, and God is our hope!"
Even Daniel's bizarre-sounding tale ends with the everlasting dominion of the Ancient One. That's what we have to hold on to in times of turmoil, confusion, and fear. Take heart; hold on. Christ is in you, and he is victorious!
"Jesus, I believe that you have authority over all things. Help me not to take my eyes off of you."
(Psalm) Daniel 3:75-81
When we choose the poor, we can always be sure of not going wrong. ... When we choose an ideology, we can never be sure of not being at least partly wrong. When we have complied with an ideology, we can never be sure of having taken the right course. When we choose the poor, we are always sure, doubly sure, of having made a good choice. We have chosen like Jesus. And we have chosen Jesus.
from Paradoxes of Faith
"His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed."
Thinking back, on the thousands of years of kingdoms, they have come and gone, and wouldn't you say that most have been some type of democracy, where the king suits the needs or desires of most? Lest they be a "dictator", someone completely opposed to being open. It is sad to see that in our Kingdom, in the modern country, to see the people call our Lord such a thing, someone "opposed" to them. But, even at that, does not make Him less of a King. The crown of thorns is proof. Proof of our poor King. And I don't say this in a bad tone, but in the most Holy of Holies, because being poor is what He set Himself to be...humility, meek, and leading the way to Heaven all the way.
Let us pray: "Give glory and eternal praise to him! "Everything growing from the earth, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever."
Bless the Lord. I was asked "Adrian, how can I show God that I love Him?" I talked about obedience and a few days later I asked him a question back "so how do you show your new wife that you love her?" He said things like gestures, communicating, talking, spending time. YES Exactly. That is exactly how we are to show love...but there is still more....think, and think hard with your heart: Sacrifice.
In the Holy Gospel, our Lord ends with: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." Things we know and love pass. They pass through and they pass away. But His word shall not pass. It does not pass away. And what He says goes. What He says lives. What He says shall be. What He says is everlasting dominion. We heard of a figure in Heaven with white hair, sitting on a throne of fire, pouring forth fire, purifying fire even, and we heard of beasts, and we heard of a lopping of one of them, its head cast into fire. And we heard of dominion. This was thousands of years ago proclaimed. And today? It is still proclaimed. The great King, is YOUR King...if you choose Him to be.
Lord, us people need a King to lead us on the right path, not only to security, but a security of Heaven for our own souls and the whole world.
I pray for the whole world Lord, for your light to become brighter in a time when things to get darker. We need a crusade of great love, not of physical wars, but one that can penetrate an unwilling soul and animate it with a pure burning fire of love for You above all in Heaven.
Because you are worthy, to be honored and adored, cherished, because you are MY Father, because you are the Father of all things, and you care for us so deeply. I am thankful, and I love you, and love so many gifts you pour out on us and on the whole world. Mercy Lord, Mercy....

Notes on searching by parentage
Partial word searches can be carried out by appending the % sign to a search term. Accents or apostrophes should not be included when searching for grex names.
The International Orchid Register can be interrogated to identify whether hybrids with different pollen and seed parents have been registered. Enter either or both the genus and grex names of the pollen and seed parents and click search. With all such grex names listed the Pollen Parent and the Seed Parent will be given, together with the name of the Registrant and the Originator and the Date on which the grex name was registered.
Please note that with many early grex names the parentage is not known and is therefore cited as "na" or "uk" and similarly some early Registrants and many Originators (including some of recent grexes) are unknown - these are indicated as "O/U".
All dates of registration prior to 1990 are given to the year only (e.g. 1/1/65).

Interview with Chris Cornell
1. So ,it’s your first time performing in front of the greek audience . How do you feel about that?
Ah…It’s great. I wanted to play a show or shows in Greece for years ,to be honest ,and it’s really hard to get the different bands I’m into ,on a tour for that long or just to ,you know ,come to Europe and play more than just a usual few shows, spend some time off to struggle. Since I met my wife Vicky ,it was the first time I started coming to Greece and I really fell in love with it .So since then , I’m trying to put together a tour where I can play some shows in Greece and I was gonna actually start doing quality shows by myself and play in Greece but this offered a first full show which I think is probably the best way to come and play there for the first time .And actually playing in Athens ,playing for a lot of people, I think it’s gonna be really fun. I don’t really know what to expect, I don’t know what the greek audience is like but from what I hear it’s great . I think the greek culture sort of understands how good singing and singing from the heart it’s a sort of motivated singing and not every culture gets that . They take it differently but the emotion in song is something that not every country and every culture gets as well .So I’m curious ,you know …I feel like it will be really an exciting connection with the audience because that is the most fun for me .Really not just to be onstage singing a song .That’s more important than anything ,that’s more important than any kind of a show .Stage ,moves or aggression or anything that happens live ,I think the most important thing for me is just to connect emotionally ,so I can get in the songs and sing and I feel Greece is a country where people really understand that.
2.Which was your inspiration and you decided to put out a solo album again after 1999?
In a way, it’s just another record for me . Every record that I record whatever band I was in or whenever, it was something. I was taking really seriously and treated the same way. This one was very important to me, every single song .I’ve written many many songs ,you know, for different bands and at different times but it’s still different to me necessarily to write a song for Audioslave or for Soundgarden than to write a song just for Chris Cornell .The only difference , I suppose ,is that there’s a sort of an image of a band that I have to keep in mind when writing a song .Writing a song that’s just my own song ,I don’t want to think about anything in terms of images ,I want to think what I want to sing and what I want to say , but it’s not that difficult to go from the one to the other .I mean, I spent years of my life writing songs by myself for Soundgarden in a baseline ,just day after day ,working on songs ,it’s still kind of the same thing (laughs) .
3.I guess you are sick of answering questions related to the past, although as I’m really interested in the grunge era, I’d like to know some feelings or memories of that period, maybe about the “Singles” movie or your friendship with bands like Mother Love Bone or Pearl Jam ?
Hm…you know, this is past and it’s sort of a scene that it was constantly changing .It was really a true organic scene . The real Seattle scene it was before anyone else was there. It was before anyone outside Seattle really knew that there were a few bands, making indie records, like two or three and that was it . It started off before Mother Love Bone ,before Pearl Jam, there were Malfunkshun ,Green River ,Soundgarden and they were just playing in small places in front of fifty people And certainly after a period of time like four years of self-being ,Soundgarden started to realize so many bands for there. Green River put out and became Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone that of course ended and became Pearl Jam .
These are people that were in different bands ,they go much further back once the scene was kind of real…Once the scene became an international success, there were bands touring .It wasn’t really a scene anymore .No one was there, everyone was on tour ,everyone was in the studio or traveling and everyone left and then they played a show when they get home but that was it (laughs).We kind of changed! There was a period of like two years that I was pretty crazy ,everyone was making records and making records and I remember that being kind of stressful, more than anything .It was also exciting ,though we weren’t really sort of sitting around and busking the glory of being the guys in the bands that certainly were such an international success .We were working ,writing songs ,making records, touring ,but it was pretty chaotic.
4. If I had the time I would ask more about that period of time, although I have to ask some more things .So, how did you realize that the whole Audioslave thing couldn’t work out anymore?
I guess…things get in a way...I think when you’re in a band, you get in the way of making records and touring and all the things may come ,it’s unnecessarily negative. You know ,I didn’t want to be in a band after Soundgarden ,that’s the bad …It’s no point in it ,there’s no point in the negativity .With Soundgarden, we were all very young and we did all the things that young bands do and we really got along very well. So did with Audioslave , but I hadn’t the patience in a term to work out agreements and everything being democratic and have any band meetings and disagreeing about everything and have to try to work it out and all these to work on another rock song .For me ,it’s not worth it ,if that’s happening. I’d rather just work on my own.
5. What are you listening to, this period of time? Any new bands you really like?
Ah...It’s sort of existing a big kind of indie scene, or young bands and singers that reminds me a lot of the early ‘80s post-punk Canada independent scene ,but nowadays there are bands like Arcade Fire and bands like the Arctic Monkeys ,from different parts of the world . Bands like Modest Mouse ,bands kind of nerdy and rock music played by guys that wear glasses (laughs) . A sort of ,you know, different fashion ,that’s kind of coming back and that reminds me more of the early ‘80s bands, like The Cure and that kind of thing. Although I think the bands are really good and the songs are good and I like the people who can sing again. It still sounds like older music to me in a different way ,but it’s fun!

“As a health care organization, we recognize that we have a responsibility to contribute not only to the health of our members and patients, but also to our environment,“ said Nor Jemjemian, senior vice president and area manager for Kaiser Permanente in the Napa Solano area. “At the Vacaville Medical Center, we have created more earth-friendly processes and reduced the environmental impact of our operations. This award validates that we have met some key sustainability goals and we couldn’t be prouder of the team that has made it happen.”
Vacaville Medical Center was specifically highlighted for achievements including:
A partnership with United Cerebral Palsy of the North Bay (a member of the SDA Alliance) that employs developmentally disabled adults to empty all mixed recycling containers and to recycle the contents at an offsite location. http://goneforgooducpnb.com/
A successful sustainable food program
Several electric vehicles (EV)in service fleet and EV charging stations in our parking lots for employees, members and guests • Active programs to reduce energy and water use
A project underway to install onsite solar panels
The Vacaville facility also benefits from Kaiser Permanente’s broader efforts to create a non-toxic environment, such as centralized procurement of chemically safest products; voluntary purchasing of renewable energy to cover 29% of our nationwide electricity needs in 2016; and our technology-enabled health services like secure messaging, telemedicine, and mail-order prescription refills that empower members to be healthy while avoiding unnecessary car trips to our facilities.
Kaiser Permanente’s awards recognize the commitment, embodied in its 2025 Environmental Stewardship Goals, to buying safer products, conserving energy, using solar and wind power and managing waste that puts the organization among the nation’s leaders in environmental responsibility.
The awards will be presented at the Practice Greenhealth Environmental Excellence Awards Gala, set for May 18th in Minneapolis, Minn., at the conclusion of the CleanMed Conference & Exhibition.

Context Is Everything
Context is everything. That’s what my wise acquaintance Dutch Rall taught me years ago. (I think he learned it from someone else, too.)
The more I think about it, the more I realize how fundamental that concept is in figuring out everything.
In short, a context determines when a particular theory, hypothesis, advice, concept, or statement applies.
“Don’t cross the sidewalk when the signal is red,” is a sound advice. But we all know we don’t follow it all the time.
To a three-year old, we should tell him/her to follow this advice, without giving conditions. The default for the above concept is true, and you don’t want to confuse a young mind by giving lots of conditions where you can break that rule.
But if you’re a grown-up, walking hurriedly to see your dying parent before s/he passes away, maybe you’ll feel justified to break the rule. (Of course, we have to assume that every time you cross a road, you look both ways to verify that there are no cars coming.)
But maybe not if you hear an ambulance’s siren nearby.
Or maybe it’s not an emergency like that. It’s just a pretty small road where cars rarely come.
But maybe not if there’s a tight curve nearby that obstruct your view and you know cars that do come tend to speed.
Or maybe it is a big street but you can safely follow all the other pedestrians jaywalking.
But maybe not if there’s a police officer nearby looking menacing.
See how there’s a statement that defaults to true as the foundation, but whether it applies or not depends on the context? That’s a pretty benign example, I don’t know if any of us adhere to that rule rigidly.
But the same concept applies to everything.
Like when you are justified to kill someone.
Like having an abortion.
Like when it’s OK to steal.
Like when to tell the truth.
There may be best practices and default answers that apply to most of situations.
But few of them apply universally, without exceptions.
That’s why laws get complicated. Mature systems and world views grow to accommodate different contexts. Few things in life are black and white.
Part of being a grown-up, is to realize this. It’s important.

Favourite and least favourite actors
I use the term actors in the modern Australian sense, where it covers both genders.
My top 5 actors have to be John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Robert De Niro, Michael Caine and Sean Connery. It is difficult to separate any of those out. I'm not saying they are the finest actors, just the ones I always really enjoy watching.
My least favourite actors include Nicholas Cage, Al Pacino, Sly Stallone and Tom Cruise.
Nicholas Cage - obvious. Al Pacino just seems to me like he either overacts - badly - or he doesn't bother to act at all. Sly - he was good in Rocky, and it was all downhill after that. Tom Cruise just seems sneaky or shifty to me in every role he plays.
Captain Jigglypuff
Hey! Don't pawn your trash on me!
RE: Favourite and least favourite actors
My favorites are John Travolta, Heath Ledger, Joquin Phoenix, Matthew McCongehey (don't know how to spell his name), Tom Hanks, Jennifer Aniston, Jane Lynch, Jennifer Hudson, Christopher Lloyd, and Whoopi Goldberg.
Ones I loathe: James Franco (arrogant jerk), Courtney Cox (overrated and not very good to begin with), Gwynth Paltrow (needs to suffer for naming her daughter "Apple"), the annoying current Prilosec spokesman WHO shall remain unnamed, and the Queen of Evil herself, Natalie Portman.
Helga: So I'm not Kate Moss. Big deal.
Milo: Kate Moss isn't stuck in a sewer.
Helga: Gee I don't know. When you think about it is there no sewer BIGGER than the world of professional modelling?

Respected senior member
Hugh Jackman, I love him, particularly when he gets his shirt off! (Yummy!) Also, I find Christopher Lilley's work to be incredible - his social mimicry really leads me to think he may be autistic, particularly when you examine the sharp cut-off between how his characters act and how he is in real life (big wide loud bogan characters versus quiet, shy and retiring irl.) Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actor, she nails every character I've seen her act, and I've started watching Elizabeth Banks with a good deal of interest as well.
I don't know that there's any actors I particularly loathe: if I don't like their performance I just don't watch, so I don't really get so invested in it.

I won't list my favorite actors as really I can't decide on a small few. I've seen in amazing performances in films, TV and even as voice actors in videogames.
Sadly, for actors I hate there is also a long list. But I will say this: I detest Adam Sandler. I don't think I need to say why. I had at least some hope left in the career he was not only flushing down the toilet, but clogging it up with his awfulness.
Anyway, the brink of the toilet overflowing with his crap (for me) was this movie:
Christ, even looking at the poster gives me shivers and Vietnam-styled flashbacks to just how terrible this movie was. Sure, I've seen worse movies...I've seen movies that make Jack and Jill look like 12 Years A Slave, Saving Private Ryan and even The Godfather.
There is a film that terrible. I will not reveal its title to you for I do not want you to suffer the same fate that I have. If Jack and Jill gives me Vietnam-styled flashbacks every time I see the poster...You can imagine what seeing the poster for these other films does to me.
But the fact of the matter is that Jack and Jill was the final nail in the coffin (or the final crap in the toilet) that has made me lose all hope in Adam Sandler.
I will never watch an Adam Sandler movie again. Every copy of an upcoming Adam Sandler movie I will personally destroy...And I urge all of you reading this warning to do the same.

Wait...is he playing his sister?
Hey I just noticed, the release date for that movie was 11/11/11. Some people predicted that the world would end on that day. Maybe it did...Almost.
Maybe when Satan's army (or whatever the Hell was meant to end the world this time) invaded our plain of existence, he was stopped. An epic battle began that threatened to tear the planet apart. When the evil was finally defeated, in his/her/its last move he/she/they transferred what remained of their powers into one final blow to mankind...
That blow...Was this godawful "movie".

Top 5 Soundtracks of 2012
Rad about the full top ten over on Film.com! We highly recommend it. The phrase "hand jobs for everyone" may or may not have been used."
Later this Awards Season, we'll have the Academy and numerous other awards bodies talking to us about the best scores of the year, (link to eligible scores), but what about the best soundtracks of the year? No love for music supervisors from the movie hemisphere? Sure, the Grammys honor such folk, but coming from a completely different perspective, TV soundtracks are eligible, and the films are honored in most cases an entire year after the typical film awards season. So we took it upon ourselves to honor our favorite soundtracks of 2012.
5. On The Road
A wonderful compilation of that strange and beautiful musical era in american history that bridged the gab between swing and modern jazz where bebop and soul vocals ruled the youth scene, and paved the way for the massive radical change to come. Beat era jazz rose to popularity in the early 50s and its proto-hippie fans could all be found jamming to upcoming entry "Not Fade Away'"s soundtrack 10-15 years later. But before we ever got there, we were toe tapping to Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and slow dancing to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday. "On The Road" perfectly encapsulates a time rarely depicted on screen and the corresponding tunes are not to be missed. Oh and Gustavo Santaolalla's score will force you to get up and bop around - money back guarantee!
Favorite Track: Yip Roc Heresy by Slim Gaillard
4. This is 40
While some have joked that this soundtrack is humorously better built for those in their 60s than their 40s, truly anyone can appreciate the old school folksy jams Judd Apatow so regularly leans towards, in this case specifically courtesy of legendary rockers Graham Parker & The Rumour, a central part of the film. Aside from that bands' reunion, the soundtrack showcases original tunes from the likes of Fiona Apple. Norah Jones and Lindsey Buckingham and features oldies but goodies from Ryan Adams, Wilco, Loudon Wainwright (duh), Jon Brion, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, and The Avett Brothers. Wondering why you aren't listening to this right now? Us too.
Favorite Track: Wilco's reworked I Got You (At The End of the Century)
3. Lawless
If "The Hunger Games" is for the kiddies then consider "Lawless" for the grown men who speak unintelligibly while wearing sexy vests and the grown women who get nekkid with them. Hmm. That's how we all remember "Lawless", right? Anyhoo. This song listing shows off how well the new can blend with the old, used "as a way of stretching time…" according to music supervisor and composer, Nick Cave, with rousing bluegrass covers of punk songs from The Bootleggers (Cave and Warren Ellis featuring plenty of Emmylou Harris), Ralph Stanley and Willie Nelson, along with a gorgeous score also from Cave & Ellis. One of the most inventive soundtracks of the year, that you can't help but sing along to, whether you know the songs or not. If you loved the "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack, you'll flip for this.
Favorite Track: White Light / White Heat by the Velvet Underground, covered by bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley
2. Not Fade Away
While none of these songs were written *for* the film, unlike our #1 choice, "Not Fade Away" features the best compilation of the year, providing a freakishly accurate soundtrack to the lives of anyone who came of age in the late 60s and provides a lesson in the importance of the British Invasion on America to anyone who didn't. Rather than going for the obvious, music supervisor Steven Van Zandt (Springstein's longtime guitarist and "Sopranos" actor) delves into the obscure yet recognizable, going for options that are specific and meaningful to those who lived through this time, rather than a skewed version of what we today think music was back then. For example, while the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and the Sex Pistols all appear on the soundtrack, its with songs like Tell Me, She Belongs To Me, T.B. Sheets and Road Runner as opposed to their more well known tunes. Artists like Bo Diddley, Small Faces, The Rascals and Lead Billy balance out the soundtrack, all artists that influence the in-film band, The Twylight Zones, and as an added bonus, a tune Van Zandt wrote for Norweigan girl band Cocktail Slippers, appears, as performed by The Twylight Zones (as do many other songs recorded by the band) and is so good, it'll make you mad it wasn't written for the film and is thus ineligible for Oscar.
Favorite Track: Go Now by The Moody Blues
1. The Hunger Games
Our favorite compilation of music written for a film, "The Hunger Games" is to bluegrass/americana what the "Twilight" soundtracks have been for emo: the best of its genre, aimed to introduce the tween set to a stronger level music. The way Twilight took tweens' interest in emo and used it to introduce them to Muse and Florence and the Machine, "The Hunger Games" rode the wave of pop country and newgrass as emerging genres to introduce tweens to The Civil Wars through their stunning song written in collaboration with Taylor Swift, the Punch Brothers, Low Anthem and the Secret Sisters, just to name a few. Each song is inspired by a different aspect of the film and book and is the perfect example of what a soundtrack should aspire to be. Unfortunately, due to Academy rules, the exceptional Safe & Sound is ineligible for a nomination, but on the plus side, this may be the year we can say The Arcade Fire became Oscar nominated.
Favorite Track: Aside from the obvious Safe & Sound? Secret Sisters' Tomorrow Will Be Kinder and Run Daddy Run from Miranda Lambert with Pistol Annies.
11-6:
The Master, Searching for Sugarman, Perks of Being A Wallflower, Les Miserables, Django Unchained and Moonrise Kingdom. Read about them here.
Other 2012 soundtrack (and score) recommendations:
Holy Motors 3! 12! MERDE! LISTEN FOREVER TO THIS
The Comedy (hat tip: @davidehrlich)
Beasts of the Southern Wild (by the soon to be oscar nominated Behn Zeitlin & Dan Romer)
Anna Karenina (by the very likely to be oscar nominated Dario Marianelli)
Life of Pi (by the maybe oscar nominated Mychael Danna)
Paranorman (by Jon Brion)
Ruby Sparks (by Nick Urata of Devotchka)

#1532: Barbara Delozier
A.k.a. Rev. Bee
We’ve talked about MUFON before. Barbara Delozier is the State Section Director Northwest of MUFON. I suppose it tells you a bit about MUFON that Delozier is also a Dolphyn Wisdom of the Ancient, Metaphysical Minister, and responsible for something called the My Psychic Friends network. She actually calls herself “Dr. Barbara Delozier, Msc.D., Minister and Psychic Counselor”. It should be unnecessary to say that her education is not from an institution worth taking more seriously than your average spam mail, but at least her areas of expertise are “[p]ositivity life coach, expert dream interpretation, psychic/sensitive, advisor, Ufology, ordained metaphysical minister” (it’s not “grammar”), and her “career focus” is “paranormal sensitive, psychic counselor, metaphysician, Ufologist, minister, speaker, author”. And as a “Metaphysician” (no, she means “New age stream of consciousness fluff”, not metaphysics) she can help you ascend the ladder on which the “physical aspect of our lives is merely the bottom rung […] by delving into the heretofore ‘unknown’ of the psyche, the ethereal, interdimensional reality in which we ‘also’ operate as Soul. Whether it be understanding the mystery of your dreams, asking the ‘big’ question about God, or merely attempting to reach out and touch your Higher Self” (goodness knows what the quotation marks are for). And apparently her “weekly Positive Affirmations are highly prized bits of wisdom from her Inner Guides that come through to the physical to help you.” How? Well, at least you should start by “strik[ing] the words ‘I can’t’ and ‘I don’t know how’ from your vocabulary [no, those aren’t words, but whatever].” Well, realizing that Delozier will systematically refuse to admit that “I don’t know how” actually explains quite a bit of her behavior, doesn’t it? What do you do when you don’t have a clue? Make it up and fill in the gaps with whatever you fancy. Delozier is probably a stellar example of what can happen when you follow that rule and your mind is otherwise unfettered by the limits imposed by reality.
You can also join her “Miss Peg [apparently Peggi “Don’t allow your human intelligence to overrule your spiritual needs” Torbert] and Astoria [Brown]” for “Trinity Psychics Quantum Metaphysics and Psychic Chat” on Blog Talk Radio every Saturday night. She is also “a gifted paranormal sensitive who explores and photographs energy beings, interdimensional beings and extraterrestrial travelers.” Like “quantum”, “energy” and “dimension” are apparently words that can mean whatever she wants them to mean at any time (and usually means nothing whatsoever).
Delozier runs several webpages, and we found the webpage “Dolphinpsychic” (with one Michelle Caporale) to be perhaps particularly interesting. It features testimonies of Delozier’s powers by … one “Psychic Norbert”. She is also involved with the “Empower U Metaphysical Academy”, which is apparently a (poorly designed) webpage where you can download “home study courses and attunements blessed crystals for healing”. As for their crystal healing course, “[i]t is now possible to give a powerful crystal healing, without crystals. Through attunement you will gain access to the energy of specific crystals and be able to channel it by intention. These ethereal crystals are much stronger than those found within the Earth. You can place them on the body, just by pointing at a certain area and thinking the stone’s name. The stone will disappear when the energy is no longer needed.” I have to admit that it was almost tempting to flesh out $12 for that course package. Same thing with the “Full Spectrum Course”: “Tachyon is the source of all frequencies. Full Sprectum Healing IS all frequencies. This makes FSH much more direct and targeted than Tachyon.” Try to falsify that claim with a well-designed test, you darn skeptics.
Diagnosis: Woo! WOOOO-O-O-O! And there is not a thing Delozier cannot do after she learned how to transcend coherence and sense and any sort of grounding in reality. Probably pretty harmless.
#1531: Gayle DeLong
Age of Autism is an antivaccine cesspool if there ever was one, and Gayle DeLong is zealous. DeLong is among those who refuse to let go of that most cherished and thoroughly refuted piece of nonsense, that vaccines are causally linked to autism. Originally, the idea was that mercury in vaccines was the culprit. The fact that thimerosal is safe, has been removed from all childhood vaccines since the conspiracy was first launched, and was never in the MMR vaccine anyways is not going to deter DeLong, for “although mercury has been removed from many vaccines, the remaining mercury as well as other culprits such as aluminum and live viruses may link vaccines to autism.” Heck, she has even published a study suggesting such a link in a low-tier journal. DeLong is not a scientist but a faculty member in the Department of Economics and Finance in the Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College/City University of New York. Nor does she know much about science, and the study design of the study in question suggests complete incompetence – or perhaps an attempt to avoid a rigorous design out of a suspicion that a good study design would fail to give her the results she wanted (details here and here). That the referees for the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health failed to notice is good evidence that the journal is one you should not put a lot of trust in. One Margaret Dunkle nevertheless took the bait and used DeLong’s article as part of a hysterically idiotic antivaxx article for the Baltimore Sun.
Apparently DeLong also managed to get a commentary in some journal called Accountability in Research entitled “Conflicts of Interest in Vaccine Safety Research”. Oh, yes, there is a conspiracy, no less. Doctors who fail to find an association between vaccines and autism are scientists at research institution who know their stuff in the pocket of science Big Pharma – as opposed to Andrew Wakefield and concerned parents who torture data into arguing for such a link based on no understanding of the science whatsoever. She cannot cite a single instance of distortion of the data in the science she rejects, of course, but she blithely asserts that FDA is in on the game. The evidence is apparently that they deny a vaccine-autism connection, and since she thinks there is one there must be a cover-up. What other possible explanation could there be?
The important point, of course, is that it doesn’t matter what science or evidence says – DeLong and her merry band of antivaccinationists don’t need to try to engage with any of that, since all those scientists are tainted by conflicts of interests and collusions with BigPharma. Their theory is thus unfalsifiable. Therefore they must be correct.
DeLong does, however, have two daughters with autism; both “have benefited greatly from supplements, diet, chelation, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.” Right. She is also a former member of SafeMind’s research committee and has participated in various antivaxx rallies.
In 2014, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which is, to emphasize, something we don’t wish on anyone. We still need to mention that she, rather tastelessly, referred to her condition as “autism-induced breast cancer”. You see, she blames it on having to deal with her autistic kids (and hence, ultimately, on vaccines). “There is virtually no cancer in my family, I eat organically, I exercise, I’m a good weight.” So, caring for children with autism is the only remaining possibility. Yes, even yours truly is left somewhat speechless both by the inference and the premises. But the core idea is actually pretty typical of pseudoscience: As long as you stay healthy and have the right attitude, you avoid cancer; so if you get cancer … well, never mind that the association between stress and cancer is at best “weak”. She also used the diagnosis to launch a pseudoscientific tirade against chemotherapy.
Diagnosis: A truly horrible person, unfortunately. We’re sure she means well, but it really doesn’t matter much when your premises are so detached from reality as DeLong’s pseudoscientific nonsense in fact is.
#1530: Rick DeLano
Like intelligent design creationists there are plenty of groups of weird kooks on the Internet who lament the fact that their particular brand of alternatives to mainstream science (i.e. anti-science) isn’t taken seriously or e.g. given equal time in public schools. “Teach the controversy,” is the common battle cry, and for Rick DeLano, the really controversial idea is heliocentrism, which he rejects. He has even produced a documentary on the subject, “The Principle”, in which he interviewed several real scientists and clipped it to make it appear as if modern cosmology is in trouble and that his completely ridiculous delusion is somehow respectable and taken seriously even by people like Lawrence Krauss, who was interviewed but, uh, expressed dissatisfaction with the editing. DeLano also, famously, got Kate Mulgrew to narrate it, though according to her he was not particularly forthcoming with what claim the documentary was going to promote.
The documentary is based on the views of Robert Sungenis, and DeLano proudly admits to never having finished high school or had any relevant education – so he is certainly not corrupted by the status quo. Like all anti-science fanatics, DeLano readily admits that “I have great respect for science.” However, “[w]here I become offended is when people ignore the evidence,” which is an interesting statement given the approach he takes in his documentary. “They haven’t proven that something can come from nothing,” argues DeLano, which … isn’t particularly relevant to anything whatsoever. And science refuses to consider the evidence because science is an atheistic conspiracy to undermine the Bible. So much for loving it.
Some examples of DeLano’s understanding of science can be found here. NASA, by the way, has conspicuously removed material from their website that suggest geocentrism, it seems, so neither DeLano nor you will find any such material there – which is apparently evidence that there must be a conspiracy and that geocentrism is correct.
The WND promoted the “documentary”, of course (their review by Drew Zahn, who knows as little about science as DeLano, is discussed here).
Diagnosis: Village idiot. Even committed creationists seem very reluctant to take DeLano seriously (which tells you a bit about how radically fringe-idiotic the WND is, if you didn’t already know). Probably pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things.
#1529: Harold Delaney, Michael Kent & David Keller
Delaney (not a very good picture)
Though rare, there exist creationists with real positions at real universitites, and who make real efforts to save their students from reality and science. Harold Delaney is a Professor of Psychology at the University of New Mexico and a signatory to A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism. Unlike many of those signatories, Delaney is a real scientist, but like almost all of them he has no background in the relevant fields. He did, however, receive a grant from the religious, anti-science Templeton Foundation in the 2000s, when the Foundation was still throwing money at creationists who also happened to be scientists (yes, the Templeton Foundation is anti-science; they have, at present, dropped the explicit anti-science part from their American projects in favor of just promoting religion, but look at what projects they are funding abroad!). Delaney is particularly notable for having taught an honors seminar in 2003 and 2004 on “Origins: Science, Faith and Philosophy” at his university, where he “presented both sides” of the evolution–creationism “debate”. Otherwise Delaney seems to think that creationism is an academic freedom issue, and that rejecting all the science should not be a matter given any weight when determining whether someone can get an academic position in biology. Oh, yes, academic freedom. Delaney’s course was originally classified as a science course, but when the university learned about its contents it was reclassified as a humanities course. Delaney claimed that this reclassification was a violation of his academic freedom.
The aforementioned course was co-taught with Michael Kent, a scientist affiliated with Sandia Laboratories. Kent is also a signatory to the Discovery Institute list. Kent’s PhD is in materials science, and he has accordingly no background in any relevant field. Funny that. Kent does, however, have a background in the New Mexico chapter of ID-net, and is on record trying to claim that the ID side has won the debate over the science standards in New Mexico public schools (absolutely, laughably false but effective as a PR stunt to make the creationist “strengths and weaknesses” strategy look reasonable).
Perhaps it was Delaney’s and Kent’s awareness of their lack of expertise in the fields in which they were misleading students that prompted them to invite David Keller to give a guest lecture. Keller is an associate professor of chemistry at the University of New Mexico. Why on earth would they invite a chemist rather than, you know, an expert in the field? You didn’t need to ask, did you? Keller is perhaps the most vocal creationist among the faculty at the University of New Mexico, and that, of course, was the qualification Delaney and Kent were looking for. Keller is on the editorial team of Bio-Complexity, the Discotute’s sad, creationist pseudojournal, and contributed an article (w. Jed Macosko) to the creationist anthology Darwin’s Nemesis: Phillip Johnson and the Intelligent Design Movement”.
Diagnosis: Oh, the creationists and their blatantly subversive tactics for, well, leading young people to Jesus by whatever means necessary, including lies and subversion. But though their efforts may look merely pathetic to the rest of us who know a bit about the science (and the workings of the denialists), these people are actually dangerous.
#1528: Roger DeHart
Roger DeHart is a young earth creationist who rose to some fame in 1997 after he, as a longtime biology teacher (apparently affiliated with the Discovery Institute) at Burlington-Edison High School in Washington, had been teaching intelligent design in his curriculum through excerpts of Of Pandas and People since 1986 (though he had done so rather quietly and subversively). DeHart later resigned and took a teaching job some at Christian school in California, where he had more leeway when it comes to preventing kids from learning about the parts of reality that may conflict with his fundamentalist religious views. In his notoriously anti-scientific book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design, creationist Jonathan Wells portrayed DeHart as a religious martyr by blatantly distorting the facts of the case (while all the same trying feebly to claim that intelligent design is not about religion). The same as always.
Given his status as something of a celebrity in the creationist movement, DeHart was among the many called to testify during the Kansas evolution hearings. Taking a cue from the creationist textbook on rhetoric (see above), he fervently tried to portray himself as a martyr and claimed to have felt pressured to resign from his teaching job after trying to force his religious views on his students and just because he wished to replace the science that kids really ought to know with his personal religious beliefs.
Diagnosis: Well, yet another religious fundamentalist that intelligent design promoters are trying to promote as a martyr for his efforts to replace reality, evidence and science with religious dogma and thereby to force his religious beliefs on others. No: His students were the victims here; he was the bad guy. DeHart himself seems to have sort of faded from view at this point, though.

The missing link of Mount Meru
For more than a century, the only human migrations to India that were discussed at length ware based on AIT and AMT theories. AIT (Aryan Invasion Theory) and AMT (Aryan Migration Theory) had its merits. But they had lost all the strength due to lack of solid evidence. The genetic studies conducted all over the world, has revealed that there has been no large scale genetic addition to India and regions around it, from other regions (except from Africa) to signify an invasion or migration. This is especially true for the 2000 BC to 1000 BC time period, which is mentioned as the time period within which the Aryans invaded or migrated to India. There was some migration from north or north west to India occurred as per genetic analysis, but earlier than 15000 BC. This time period is too early and the AIT or AMT theorists themselves have problem to choose such an early date for Aryan invasion or migration to India, since it will shatter other assumptions of the theory related to the spread of Indo-European languages to Europe and those related to other civilizations in Central Asia, West Asia, Greece and Eastern Europe.
On the contrary, the genetic studies as well as analysis of Ancient Indian literature, points to a large scale outflow from India to rest of Asia. Though there were some minor movements of people from north of Himalaya to India (which also is indicated in the literature, like I mentioned in the article Migration of the Aila tribe), the major movement of people was from India to the rest of Asia.
See this excellent illustration of Human Migration from Africa to the rest of the world through India by Stephen Oppenheimer:- Stephen Oppenheimer provides a virtual global journey of modern man over the last 160000 years.
Our species of humans Homo Sapiens originated in Africa around 150,000 years ago. Human migrations from Africa started 100,000 years ago and moved out of Africa around 70,000 years ago. A major portion of that migration, was received by India starting from 50,000 to 40,000 years ago. This is the only large scale migration to India. It is this migration that populated India with humans for the first time.
The population that migrated from Africa, towards India, traveled along the eastern sea-coast of Africa, then along the eastern sea-coast of Arabian peninsula, and then spread into the western sea coast of India and the finally eastern sea coast of India. Thus the entire coastal region of India was populated. From the eastern sea coast of India it spread to the sea coasts of south-east-Asia and beyond, to Australia. When the population reached the western sea coast of India, they also migrated along the large rivers that drained into Arabian sea. One among the mighty rivers that drained thus into sea was the river Saraswati and the other was the river Sindhu. The ancient Indian population thus migrated from the western sea coast of India to northwards along these rivers. They spread along the valleys of these rivers and then spread along its tributaries also. Thus they spread all around the five rivers of Punjab. They also traced Saraswati river and its tributaries originating in the Himalayas and thus crossed the Himalayas reaching the Manasa Lake (the Manasa Saras of Mahabharata) in Tibet, which is considered to be the northern origin of ancient Saraswati and Sindhu rivers. Along the tributaries of Sindhu, like the Kabul River (Sanskrit: Kubha) they also spread to north-western regions of India like Afganistan. From Saraswati river this ancient people spread to river Yamuna and Ganga and its tributaries. Similarly along the sea shores of India, the population spread into the interior of India along the rivers like Narmada, Tapati, Kaveri, Krishnavenna, Godavari and Mahanadi that drained into sea, and penetrated further along the tributaries of these rivers. People from these rivers and those from Sindhu, Saraswati, Yamuna and Ganga were then completely mixed giving rise to the ancient population of India.
People migrating from Africa predominantly depended upon sea food. Fishing was a major occupation. So they always sought sea shore. They found the big rivers like Saraswati and Sindhu also suitable for their living, since these rivers also contained plenty of sea food, especially fish. Some of the ancient kingdoms or settlements were thus created by the fishermen community. They were called the Matsyas in Mahabharata and in other ancient Indian texts. Matsya means 'fish' in Sanskrit. As per Indian texts (the epics and the Puranas), Manu is mentioned as the earliest king of humanity. It is from the name 'Manu', that the words Manushya' (Sanskrit), 'Manava' (Sanskrit), 'Man' (English) and 'Human' (English) arose. All of them is used to denote a member of the human race. Manu was one among the ancient Matsya chiefs. He is mentioned as escaping from the great flood. The Great Flood was an important event kept in the memory of all humans who migrated from Africa. It is found in the oral traditions and literature of almost all civilizations. It happened around 7000 BC to 5000 BC). The location of this incidence could be anywhere along the many migratory paths taken by humans. Probable locations are, the eastern sea shore of Africa, western sea shore of the Arabian peninsula, the Mediterranian_Sea, the Black_Sea or the western sea shore of India where the Saraswati river joined the sea. It is also possible that this flood like situation occurred in all of these places at the same time or at different times. Flood could be a reason for people to migrate from one place to other. In any case, Manu is informed about the coming of the flood by a certain 'Matsya'. Later Indian texts interpret this 'Matsya' to be a fish, and in much later texts, this Matsya is mentioned as an incarnation of Vishnu. I consider the Matsya who informed Manu about the flood to be a fisher-man, or a member of the fisher-men tribe (the Matsya tribe).
The name Manu also can be seen as transforming into Manoah, which can then transform into Noah, the Bibilcal equivalent of Manu, in saving the human race from the flood. Among the sons of Manu, was Uttanapada 1, mentioned in many ancient Indian texts. In Mahabharata he is mentioned as the father of Dhruva. In the Babylonian flood-story, he is mentioned as Utnapishtim or Uta-na-pistim, the king of Shuruppak / Shurrupak (Surupaka?) and as the savior of Babylonians from the great flood!. Thus the great flood witnessed during the time of Manu became the story of the flood witnessed by his son Uttanapada. Thus the history of flood might have spread to the whole world through generations of oral traditions. But the person who saved people from the flood, or urged them to migrate to safer places, changed from somebody to Manu, from Manu to Uttanapada, from Uttanapada to somebody who was contemporary to or lived in recent times, with respect to the time period of each generation. Thus it became Noah mentioned in the Bible too. Uttanapada's son, Dhruva became very famous. The pole star, which the ancient astronomers found to be remaining constant in the sky was named 'Dhruva'. It was this star that is mentioned in the Bible, as the guiding star, which guided the travelers from the east on their way to meet Jesus in Jerusalem. The pole star was used as a navigational aid in those days by travelers, since it indicates the direction of the north accurately.
The Matsya culture and the Matsya settlements in India were spread through out the coastal region of India as well as across the Saraswati, Sindhu river valleys. This culture later matured into a great civilization that generated the Vedas on the banks of river Saraswati. Vyasa the sage who is considered as the arranger (classifier or divider) of the Vedas is mentioned as the son of a Matsya woman or princess Satyavati. Thus the connection of the Vedas to the Matsyas is very strong. Another sage Saraswata is mentioned in Mahabharata, as teaching the Vedas to many thousand sages after a long period of gap. The long period of gap is mentioned as due to the drying up of the river Saraswati. Due to this drying up people who lived along the banks of Saraswati, had to leave and hence created a break in the oral transmission of the Vedas. Sage Saraswata, who stayed on the banks of Saraswati is mentioned as re-establishing that oral tradition again.
In the whole of the region near Saraswati, now in Rajasthan, there were many Matsya kingdoms, as mentioned in Mahabharata. One among them was the kingdom of king Virata. It lied to the east of the dried up Saraswati river, indicating a migration from Saraswati to the east. Kuru kingdom lied to the north of this Matsya kingdom. There were many Matsya kingdoms that lied along the northern course of Saraswati river and along the Yamuna river, which lied close to Saraswati. Satyavati, who became the queen of the Kuru king Santanu was from one of these kingdoms, since she is mentioned as a daughter of a Matsya chief who ruled in a Matsya settlement on the banks of river Yamuna.
The lineage of the Kurus are traced to Tibet again close to the Manasa lake in Tibet which I have referred in the article on the Origins of Aila Kings. This lineage thus is the same people who migrated to Tibet along the northern course of Saraswati and Sindhu rivers. Thus in the union of Satyavati and Santanu we find the union of two tribes, the Matsyas who migrated slowly along Saraswati to north and the Aila-Puru-Bharata-Kurus who migrated quickly to north to reach the north-west and Tibet following the northern course of Saraswati, Sindhu and their northern tributaries, who then migrated again southwards crossing the Himalayas from the Tibeten side to Saraswati in Kurukshetra as well as to Ganga and Yamuna.
Other tribes mentioned as lying on the banks of Saraswati are Sudras and Abhiras. The Sudras were again can be considered as tribes similar in occupation to the Matsya tribe, probably more focused on farming rather than fishing on the banks of Saraswati and Sindu. They were also known as Suras, probably identical to the Sauviras (Sauvira > Sura > Sudra). The Abhiras were traders. We also know that trade, supported by agriculture was an important aspect of the Indus Valley or Saraswati-Sindhu-Civilization. In the remote past, the city of Kusasthali which later became Dwaraka that lied close to where Saraswati merged with the sea, became a great sea-port and center of trade and commerce. It was well connected with the regions later occupied by Indus valley cities and Saraswati valley settlements. It had trade-routes or roads linking it along the Sindhu river with kingdoms like Sindhu, Sauvira, Sivi, Madra, Kekaya, Gandhara and Kamboja as well as with other trade routes like the Uttarapatha. Thus a grand trading civilization flourished in the Sindhu-Saraswati river valley.
Thus we find all the element of the puzzle suddenly making sense. The human-migration from Africa to India, the fishing culture, the Matsyas, the Vedas, the Kurus, the Sindhu-Saraswati civilization, Dwaraka, the links between all these are now finally emerging. However my attention also shift to the Meru mountain. Meru is mentioned in Mahabharata and other epics as the center of the world. Thus ancient Indians gave a central place to Meru. Interestingly Meru is a mountain peak in Africa, from where the humans (including the would-be Indians) started their migration! It is not only Mount Meru, there are other place names like the Arusha_Region and the Usa River around Meru, that sounds like Sanskrit words. Mount Meru is the 5th highest peak in Africa and 2nd highest in Tanzania. It is 4566 meters in height. The Arusha region is a region surrounding the Mount Meru. In Mahabharata, Arushi is mentioned as a daughter of Manu. Arushi can also be translated as a person belonging to the Arusha region. The regional capital of Arusha region and its major city is Arusha. Towards the east of this city is the river Usa. In many Indic texts, Usha is mentioned as the goddess of sun-rise (which take place in the east). In Mahabharata Usha is mentioned as an epithet of the sun-god. Again in Mahabharata a lake named Usanasa is mentioned on the banks or Saraswati river. A great king named Usangava (also as Ushangu is mentioned in connection with Yama (and Shiva) who is connected to southern regions (an indication of Africa?). Another person Ushampa also is mentioned connected to Yama (thus with southern regions). A king in the line of Yadu also is mentioned by the name Ushadgu. Sage Usana or Usanas is mentioned as a priest of the Asuras, who is also known as Sukra. Another sage Ushango mentioned as from the western region (Africa also is to the west of India).
Thus there is a possibility that the group that migrated from Africa and settled in India, could be originally living close to (south of) Mount Meru of Tanzania. They might have taken the memory of Meru, of Arusha region and of Usa river while they migrated to India. Where ever they found a high mountain peak, they might have called it Meru. Thus when they reached northern Sindhu river banks, Afganistan and the Himalayas, they might have identified some mountain peak in Pamir_Mountains or in the Himalayas also as Meru.
There are also several place name in Africa, with the word 'Kam' forming part of the name. The word Kam in African dialects mean 'a place'. This word is also found in tribe names like Kamboja or Kamvoja. This also shows the African connection of the people migrated to India.

Both Europe and Africa are vying to lay the claim that Vedic civilization originated from Europe/Africa. cant be true.
1. Vedas make absolutely no mention of alost ho,eland of the people who wrote Vedas anywhere in Europe or Africa. Vedas sing praises of the Saraswati rivers/ and the himalayan peaks.
2. In Vedic philosophy, moving away from your matre-bhoomi (Mother-land) is considered inauspicious. In vedic shastra, if in a person's horoscope, if it predicted that a person will leave his home and make a home away from were he was brn, was considered the result of negative energy from inauspicious planets.
3. A Nomadic/moving civilization cannot produce something as profound and as scientific a philosophy as that contained in the Vedas. the best art/literature comes from civilizations that are settled. Nomads do not produce philosophies. Even solely agricultural societies only produce, well, agriculture. Not art/music. Education and learning is a pre-requisite for producing refined arts,science, culture.

Appreciate your comments. 1) Let me assure you that this article is not making any claim that Vedas were written in Africa (or in Europe). We cannot, for example, rule out the possibility of the African place-names mentioned here as being the influence of the ancient Indian sea-traders who went to Africa.
My current conviction is that the Vedas were created by the people who settled on the banks of Saraswati river in western India who lived there for many thousand years. 3) Thus I agree with you that it is not the product of a nomadic tribe who was on the move (like the many tribes who migrated from Central Asia to Europe).
However it will be wrong to assume that there was no culture before the Vedas. Human migration from Africa to India happened taking several tens of thousands of years and hence does not impact the question of the origin of the Vedic civilization on the banks of Saraswati in India. Some of the concepts like the central mountain named 'Meru' and of several chiefs who lived thousands of years apart with the titular name 'Manu' and the Matsya lineage could all be part of a pre-Vedic culture.
2) On the point of considering foreign lands (lands other than India or motherland) as inauspicious. I believe all the countries and places in the world to be equally sacred. What you mentioned could be a superstition. Certainly I have not seen any mention of it in the Vedas or in the two epics. May be I have missed it (you could help me with some reference?) or it could be in the Puranas. Perhaps you are hinting at ancient people's preference to the fertile Indian lands against the mountainous neighborhoods or their fear of loosing their traditions in the foreign lands.

The out of africa theory has long been debunked
Lisa House 01 Oct 2018 10:10
My take on this post is that the assumption of Mt Meru being a mountain in africa is contradicting the description of this mountain along with other geographical locations mentioned by the ARYANS in the Mahabharata. The Out of Africa theory is just a hypothesis and has been debunked when human fossils dating much older than the ones found in africa has been found in europe , Siberia , east Asia and Russia . Also according to Manu , the only description of the only home he has known was land of the seven rivers synonymous with North india. This assumption of humans migrating out of africa to other regions of the earth is absolutely hilarious and has no sound scientific proof . The vedas also give accounts of dates as much as millions of years old. If Noah's ark did land on the highest mountain peak , from which he and his sons descend , then it is by all means a peak of the Himalayas ,being the highest mountain on earth and he would've mentioned his original homeland about geographical places in africa which is not coresponding with the descriptions given in the mahabaratas , vedas etc.

This site is such a wonderful resource for studying Rig Vedic culture! You have don't an amazing job of making this kind of research much easier and your level-headed, unbiased and clinical handling of the information is very much appreciated. Thank you. :D
I've been trying to collect together the locations of the hermitages/asylums/ashrams of the Rig Veda composers by sifting through the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas and Rig Veda. I have a list of coordinates for 11 rishis (See below). Considering north to be Punjab, South to be the southern tip of the subcontinent, west to be the Arabian Sea coast near Gugarat and east to Assam, it seems that I've found more descriptive details on those Rig Veda sages who had their hermitages in the east. I haven't found any reference to specific locations within the IVC site range along the Indus, except for Kashyapa near Kurukshetra. Perhaps I will use the info from the AnukramanIs (…/books/rig/ch1.htm) to search on other RV sages.
Yet, at this point, it seems the RV was mostly composed in the east by rishis of the Somavanshi and the Kshatriya employed the services of the Brahmana sages to propitiate the deified ancestors for support in gaining booty and territory from other Somavanshi tribes or 'dasas'. The 'dasas' seem to be, like the 'mlecchas', simply tribes that didn't participate in the RV culture. A few hymns to Indra ask for aid in vanquishing other tribal leaders, pointing out that these leaders do not make ritual offerings. If the IVC tribes were living comfortably, they might not have had a need to bribe the deified ancestors.
Recent discoveries at IVC sites reveal very little RV-type rituals, but a good measure of foreign trade, civil planning and something of a rather flat social hierarchy, which makes it seem like the IVC were far more established and peaceable and thus distinctly different from the RV culture. There is evidence that they knew yoga, so maybe they were already living according to Sanatana Dharm principles.
The later Vedic culture seems to have emulated the IVC lifestyle, putting more emphasis on intellectual and civil application of spiritual practice. Yet, once Kaliyug began, the influence of Buddhism elevated ahimsa to a level that makes any comparison between RV culture and modern spirituality in India impossible. I was shocked to read that Bharata's wives killed nine of his sons because he wasn't pleased with their potential as heirs to the dynasty (Ref: …/src-mbh-01:section-94). Frankly, it seems to me that the RV kshatriya and brahmana were ill-tempered psychopaths. Yet, the oral tradition of transferring knowledge without the need for any tools is a feat of true genius. Given what we know of human migration due to climate change, I think the Brahmanic method of education should be preserved and promoted. Already, we're 13,000 years into a 10,000 to 20,000 year interglacial period and may find ourselves in an other ice age, unprepared and looking for new homes around the equator, just as the tribes that left Africa long ago.
The Stephen Oppenheimer slides presents a migration route that makes perfect sense to me. Yet, given the distinctly different lifestyles between the IVC and RV cultures, there may have been a remnant in India after Sumatra erupted. If not, then perhaps there were a few migration waves out of Africa afterward. The archaeological information from IVC just doesn't seem to correspond with the fratricidal, chauvinistic and acquisitive RV culture. If the two cultures were contemporary, they were starkly different. However, if the RV culture came before the IVC, the problem is solved. After a few thousand years of living comfortably the aggressiveness would dissipate and tribes with different practices would simply agree to disagree, and be capable of coexistence within an abundant environment.
Feel free to advise on any of the opinions express or recommend information.
Here's the list of rishi hermitage coordinates I mentioned.
1. Gotama Rahugana, who delivered verses in Mandala 1, settled in Janakpur (26°42′44″N 85°55′18″E).
2. Agastya, delivered verses in Mandala 1, 7, 8 and 10, was originally from Haridwar or Kasinagara, relocated to near Chengannoor (9°19′6.54″N 76°36′50.46″E). The reason for the migration is given as 'Earth started to Tilt. Lord Shiva then requested Agasthya Muni to rush to the then South India and balance the Earth from further tilting.'
3. Dirghatamas Aucathya (Kaksivan Ausija), who also was inspired with verses in Mandala 1, was a chief priest of King Bharata in Hastinapur (29.17°N 78.02°E).
4. Grtsamada Saunohotra (Suhotra), a Bharadwaja inspired with Mandala 2, and his son of Vitahavya, a king of the Haihayas, is dubiously placed in the capital of the Haihaya Kingdom, Maheshwar (22.11°N 75.35°E).
5. Vishvamitra (King Kaushika), known for Mandala 3 practised near the confluence of the Saptakoshi River (26°54′47″N 87°09′25″E) in honor of his deceased sister, whose title was Kaushiki.
6. Atri (Athri), inspired to deliver Mandala 5, was met by Ram and Sita at his hermitage near Chitrakuta (19°12'35.00"N 81°42'4.08"E).
7. Angiras (Bharadwaja Barhaspatya), inspired with the verses of Mandala 6 is recorded to have had his hermitage near Prayag (25°26'14.38"N 81°50'41.71"E), and his ashram can still be seen there in Allahabad.
8. Vasistha, attributed with Mandala 7, had his hermitage near Guwahati (26° 5'41.77"N 91°47'4.28"E).
9. Kanva, inspired with Mandala 8, dwelt in his hermitage near Kotdwar ( 29°45′0″N 78°31′48″E).
10. Kashyapa, inspired with Mandala 9, resided near Kurukshetra (29.965717°N 76.837006°E).
11. Bhrgu's son named Chyavana is recorded to have had his hermitage near Dhosi Hill (28° 3'33.75"N 76° 1'48.71"E ) and it is assumed that Bhrigu would have been there too.

One issue with the geographical location of sages I found is that, when their name is expressed as a single name such as Agastya, Vasistha, Atri, Angira, Gautama, Bharadwaja, Kanva etc, it cannot be pin pointed to a single individual; it can refer to any individual belonging to the respective gotra, since these names are used to refer to any individual belonging to the gotra or who is a descendant of the epynomous ancestor of that gotra. But ofcourse there is some accuracy when two names are involved such as Gotama Rahugana.

Dear Jijith,
You are doing a great job analysing the ancient Vedic and Hindu scriptures. Thank you for all your dedicated work!
I'm also doing some research and would be delighted to hear your comment on the following questions.
1) ARYAS VS. MATSYAS MLECCHAS YAVANAS AND VAISYAS.
You mentioned in one of your essays that the Kurus were cultivating brahminical and ksatriya castes and had little sympathy for the trading and fishing communities surrounding their territories. The
arya brahmins dispise also the mlecchas and yavanas (Turks and Greeks) until today.
The reason for their disdain may be that the noble aryas disqualify them for their habit of meateating. Arya is about morality in life and spiritual advancement independent of bodily features, isn't it?
2) OUT OF AFRICA THEORY ABANDONED
The Out of Africa theory is no longer supported by intelligent scientists, except the mainstream, which turns the theory doubtfull anyhow. There have been two great scholars who maintain that the
arya nobility migrated from the North Pole.
One mystic is Lokamanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, the inspirator of Nehru and Gandhi, who analysed the Rg Veda in jail during British rule. In the vedik rituals he found proof of the Arctic home of the Vedas. They worshipped the dawn of the new sun (after half year of darkness) and celestial bodies at the intervals of natural seasons existent only on the North Pole. At that time that place consisted of a land mass with a subtropical climate and lush greens. So, the oral tradition of Rg Veda must be prediluvial at least 10,500 years ago. Gangadhar Tilak, 'The Arctic Home in the Vedas' 1903 - (guests and low-karma users are not allowed to post links)
The other mystic was Manly Palmer Hall explaining that scientient life entered earth on the North Pole in subtle bodies that were not physical yet. Every living being and all biological cells in nature are constructed with a north and a south pole. Even an egg has a north and a south pole beaming different electromagnetic charges. Therefore, entrance onto the earth was possible only due to the magnetic fields on the Arctic. Hall says, the arya community existed on earth at least one million years ago (guests and low-karma users are not allowed to post links) The archaeological artifacts discussed by Michael Cremo in his books and videos support Hall's theory empirically.
3) CALCULATION OF THE YUGAS
There is confusion about the duration of the yugas mentioned in the Puranas. Svami Sri Yukteshvara Giri from the Himalayas, the disciple of Haidakhan Baba and teacher of Yogananda, published a small
book entitled 'The Holy Science', in the Introduction of which he shows the correct durations of the four yugas. Reason for the miscalculation of the brahmins was, that after the War of Kuruksetra, Yuddhisthira left for the Himalayas and took with him the best of his astrologers and scientists. Those who were left behind on the subcontinent didn't possess enough knowledge to calculate the complex astrological systems in the galaxy. The result was that they inflated each yuga with a factor of 100.
The Puranas tell us that Kali-yuga will last for 432,000 years. In reality, it will last only 4,500 years. Kali-yuga began at the end of Kurukshetra War and had its darkest period around 500 BC. The
dark age ended around 1500 AD. So according to the calculation by the yogis in the Himalayas, where the correct knowledge still exists, we are 500 years in Dvapara-yuga now.
4) THE VEDAS WERE LOOTED FROM THE TAMILS
The Tamils however will say that the Aryan deities - Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma - were 'looted' from the Tamils. The Persian 'immigrants' Sanskritised ancient Tamil knowledge and modified their scriptures
according to taste. The man who's doing the research of Tamil and Aryan history says, "The Deities are Tamil, the stories are Aryan". Their original mystic system was called 'Aaseevaham'.
The knowledge of the Four Vedas was given by Shiva at the First Sangam 10-20,000 years ago. Shiva contracted four disciples (the Four Kumaras, his 'brothers') to hear and remember his teachings. The researcher shows that Shiva was from the Paleolithic era, Murugan Mesolithic and Vishnu Neolithic. All these 'deities' were human beings who later became deified in temples of worship for the common man. Vishnu was a keen astronomer who went to Meso-America to teach the Mayas. The Mayan Calendar was taught by Vishnu. Shiva started the first Sangam and introduced written language in images for the first time. Two Sangams followed in later times from which the Tamil language was generated. 'The Ancient Culture of Tamils' (playlist) (guests and low-karma users are not allowed to post links)
What are your thoughts on these subjects, please, Jijith?
Unfold Four questions by Iris Goosen, 19 Oct 2014 18:43
Re: Four questions
Iris , very informative post. I would've love to hear Jijith's reply to your questions. I couldn't agree more with you that the Out of africa theory has no scientific bearing. however , according to the Mahabaratas and vedas , It couldn't be more resounding that India was indeed the homeland of the aryans . Its also the only region where the culture and Sanskrit language has remained alive . There are also no artifacts, symbols eg swastika , monuments , religious practices or names of geographical places mentioned by the aryans anywhere in the world that resembles the homeland or origins of the aryans but India.

Another list! Commendably short, this one, but with a long thought-full preface addressing the subject of list-making, listener fatigue, aesthetic judgement and other crucial issues.
I nodded my head especially at this bit, the Impostume talking about how he requires
"some broad operative criteria in order to be able to navigate the vast reaches of modern music consumption/production"
"the pleasure I take in something has to be imaginatively enjoined to some overarching concept, some set of grounding ideas. In other words music is a part of the way I conceptualize things, it’s part of the architecture of my understanding of the world. This means it has a rather different status for me than it does for others, perhaps (I feel it’s a big “perhaps”). I suspect that there’s even a certain moralistic aspect thrown in. I tend to approve of records I enjoy. In other words there’s a whole, admittedly shifting, personal/political/cultural edifice that records slot into."
That's the way my brain's wired too, nothing I can do about it, even if I wanted to. Clearly my experience of music (I should say, new music) is distorted because in addition to all the normal things (pleasure, thrills, surprise, solace etc) I'm also always looking for it to create new thoughts in my head and to "compute" (in some way or other, infinitesmal or involuted though it may be) as an advance in the dialectic. (Both those things = the same thing, maybe. Obviously). That creates a subliminal pressure to move on, because an artist or genre really has to be incredibly fertile and vibrant and changeful to keep on catalysing a stream of new ideas, and that's rarely the case. People who don't have that extra requirement of music (let's call them "civilians") are much happier sticking with a performer or a genre long into that second phase where it's essentially static but still churning out "quality".
Now did I get like this as a side effect of my occupation, or did I always have a critic-head (and a certain kind of critic-head)? Increasingly I think the latter, I seem to remember always thinking and feeling music this way, although perhaps you could say this was because for much of my youth I was mentally preparing for what I would go on to do (and indeed was a critic-fan as much as follower of bands).
What Carl is maybe suggesting is that for a certain kind of person there's always going to be a fatal confusion of Favourite and Important, matters-to-me and Matters, pleasure and "truth".
Now how does that relate to the entropic listmania so noticeable this season?
You can see various impulses battling it out--the gigantism of all-inclusiveness versus whittle-it-down brevity. The latter drive ("get back to what you really care about"--define "care" though!) could be seen as a retreat to the incontestable solidity of "Favourite" (unchallengeable subjective preferences) and an avoidance of the quicksand of "Important" (the slippage into Rockism). The shorter the list (the thinking goes) the less likely it'll succumb to worthiness, tokenism, dutiful eclecticism that doles out praise across the genrescape, and other liabilities of the profession.
Yet equally the expanded list can be a celebration of ravenous hedonistic appetite, an ostentatious amassing of pleasures, a glutton's testament to yet-another-year-of-plenty (i.e. pure Poptimism). And the shrivelled micro-list could actually be an expression of diehard rockism, a paring down to just those few things that warranted commemoration (because they alone lived up to the Ideals, were innovative/extreme/intense or arguable as such).
^^^^^^^^^^^
Throughsilver chips in, concurring with another of Impostume's pungent points:
"I also wonder why anyone would give a rat’s behind about what a single person considers their 43rd favourite album of a year. I understand when The Wire does it – they pool many people. But the individual top 50? I’m now old and ugly enough to realise the folly (both Narcissistic and Promethean) of such a move.
Top 20, max. I don’t care how many albums you’ve heard.
Let’s not forget that little correlation: the greater amount of albums you have heard means less time available to actually digest each one"

Whitewashing: Asian and Asian-American Representation in Film/TV
Diversity Speaks at the LA Film Festival, Saturday, June 17 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre
Los Angeles film fans! The LA Film Festival invites you to Diversity Speaks, two days of panel discussions focusing on expanding the definition of diversity and act as a call to action for the entertainment industry.
On Saturday, June 17, I'll be participating in a panel discussion entitled "Whitewashing: Asian and Asian-American Representation in Film/TV," along with Leonardo Nam, Kelly Hu, Kelvin Yu, Ally Maki, Bruce Thierry Cheung and Gloria Fan, and moderated by Jenny Yang. It's happening at 2:00pm at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
Here's some more info about the full Saturday lineup:
Diversity Speaks: Saturday
Diversity Speaks features panel discussions taking place over two days at the LA Film Festival. The conversations address topical issues both on and off the screen. Diversity Speaks' focus is to expand the definition of diversity and act as a call to action for the entertainment industry.
Cis in a Trans World: Transgender Visibility
The trans creative community is thriving, but the limited amount of on-screen portrayals of trans characters are mostly awarded to the cisgender community. Audiences and activists have said enough is enough and are calling out cis appropriation of trans roles and for the development of more authentic trans stories.
Panelists to include: Candis Cayne (The Magicians), Shaan Dasani (Bollywood Invasion), Mari Walker (Swim) and Rachel Crowl (And Then There Was Eve)
Moderated by Riley Silverman (Not Safe with Nikki Glaser)
The anti-whitewashing protests are getting louder and the social pushback is hard to ignore. Hollywood's packaging of Asian and Asian-inspired cultural properties should be reconstructed.
Panelists to include: Leonardo Nam (Westworld), Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King), Kelvin Yu (Master of None), Ally Maki (Wrecked), Phil Yu (Angry Asian Man blog), Bruce Thierry Cheung (Don't Come Back from the Moon) and Gloria Fan (VP of Current Programming, FOX)
Moderated by Jenny Yang (comedian, Disoriented Comedy)
In Conversation: Lena Waithe Sits Down with Elvis Mitchell
Lena Waithe (Master of None) sits down with Film Independent at LACMA curator Elvis Mitchell for an intimate off-the-record talk.
The Other: Documenting Marginalized Stories
Accessing primetime slots and movie theater screens to tell stories continues to be a struggle for many marginalized voices. Here we shine a light on how these filmmakers and storytellers work within, and around, the current systems to be seen and heard.
Panelists to include: Sydney Freeland (Deidra & Laney Rob a Train), Valerie Red-Horse Mohl (Mankiller), Amy York Rubin (Boxed In), Xan Aranda (Room 104), Julius Tennon (President, JuVee Productions) and Marvin Lemus (Gente-fied)
Moderated by Jennifer Kushner (Director of Artist Development, Film Independent)
Reclaiming Gay for Pay: What It Means to be 'Out' in Hollywood
More performers and leaders of the industry are out members of the LGBTQ+ community than ever before, but the questions remain… why is it still hard to come out in Hollywood? As more platforms and outlets for storytelling continue to develop, what is the future for LGBTQ+ Hollywood?
Panelist to include: Keiynan Lonsdale (The Flash), Karey Dornetto (Portlandia), Noah Galvin (The Real O'Neals), Anne Clements (Political Animals) and Guy Branum (Talk Show the Game Show)
Moderated by Marc Malkin (Managing Editor, E!)
All panels are free to the public, no ticket or pass required, on a space-available basis. For further details about Diversity Speaks, including directions and parking info, head over to the LA Film Festival website.

How Easy It Is To Strip Metadata
Tags: metadata; stripped; removed; lost; Adobe Photoshop; overcharging; The Sun; News International; Gabor Poszgai; fotoLibra
Here’s a great photograph by Gabor Poszgai that we sold to The Sun yesterday:
Purely as a matter of interest I tried to drag the image off the page. Obviously it had no fotoLibra watermark, as we had sold them the image, but I wanted to see how easy it would be to copy the image and use it for my own nefarious purposes — steal it, that is.
Here’s the message I got:
That’s interesting. I couldn’t drag the image off, and there was an image protection warning.
So I tried right-clicking it, a procedure incomprehensible to we Mac users but which involves holding down the ctrl key while tapping the pen on the tablet.
This is what came up:
Gosh again. They really didn’t want me to pull off the photo.
So we pulled it off, and I had a look at the metadata.
When The Sun bought the image, it was supplied with full metadata including this caption and these keywords:
So you can see who took the picture, what it is, and where to find it. When I looked at the metadata for the image in The Sun, this is what I got:
Empty. Blank. Nada. Bare. Stripped. Descamisados.
Why should they do that? Damien somewhat cynically remarked “Why keep it? They didn’t need it, so they threw it out.”
But that would mean extra work — someone would have to be specifically employed to hack off the metadata, unless it was an automated procedure. Why would News International want to remove the metadata from images they buy? Maybe Photoshop, with its inbuilt metadata stripping feature (see ‘Adobe — Stop Overcharging UK Customers‘) was to blame.
Anyway, I’m puzzled. What is the point of embedding metadata so it travels with the picture, telling you what it is, who took it and when, where it is, all about it, how to find it and buy it, if it’s simply thoughtlessly stripped out the first time it’s sold? It’s the writing on the back of the print. Why rub it out? What is the point? Who benefits?

Diana Korchien says:
I think someone should ask News International if they’re allowing resale of the picture as one of their own. Do they do this with all the pictures they license from 3rd parties? Are they that cash-strapped?
Gwyn Headley says:
I couldn’t possibly comment on a valued client.
Mike Jeffries says:
Very interesting, now everyone who reads this will know how to breach copyright if they follow your instructions.
Try it and tell me if it works, Mike.
Boyd says:
You didn’t delete any metadata with the procedure from above.
Go and look in the last tab of the window showed above “Raw Data” and you will see all the metadata.
Check that and let me know.
OK, I checked. No caption. No keywords. No photographer credit. No copyright info URL. There is data along the lines of < ?xpacketbegin=""id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
but I’m not certain how useful that is to a picture library trying to protect its photographers.
“Save for Web & Devices” on PS strips metadata, as it was for web use I presume this is what they did.
Interesting. We never use that function.
It was more relevant before the age of broadband, when webmasters needed to make their web page content as small as possible for faster page upload. Thankfully upload speeds now make this less relevant, making this need redundant.
Not true. From CS4 onwards Adobe listened to the grumbles of photographers and “Save for Web” has a panel in that dialogue called “Metadata” allowing you to select:
COPYRIGHT AND CONTACT INFO
ALL EXCEPT CAMERA INFO
Tony Sleep says:
It used to. It no longer does by default. You have to explicitly tell PS Save for Web to dump metadata since, IIRC, CS2.
It could be that someone in IT routinely strips out metadata to reduce file size.
That’s what our IT guys say.
Mark Goodwin says:
I think that what News International has done is tantermount to fraudulently changing or altering copyright and ownership information of a piece of copyrighted work!
Even if they purchased the pic for life, they have no right to alter the fact that the ownership belongs to Gabor.
I am no lawyer but I would think that unless this was challenged, News International would probably claim the right to sell and re-sell this photo as many times as they like. And how is Gabor going to find out, not to mention the agency that provided the shot in the first place.
Talk about a “law unto themselves”. Unbelievable!
Well I understand your rage because I share it, but the fact is that NI would not use a picture they had bought in another context for that very reason. Specific rights were bought and they are unlikely to transgress. They don’t need the hassle that would cause. So why strip the metadata — unless, as our IT guys aver, it’s to save 8k on the file size.
Oh dear Gwyn, I admire your faith in newspaper morality but it is utterly misplaced. There is an epidemic of unreported use with intent to avoid payment. I say that as a moderator of EPUK, whose 1,000 pro members encounter the problem on a daily basis – it is probably the most common issue we deal with.
Infringement is part of the cost-saving business model, and any photo they can get to is liable to be used without permission or payment. You will sometimes even see absurdities like (c)internet or (c)Facebook alongside – the Daily Mail has used both of these. The Sun, Mail, Independent and Guardian (and BBC) are particularly slack. They will always claim it is an innocent mistake if caught. However it’s a mistake they keep on making on an industrial scale.
This should not be news. It has been widely and repeatedly reported (BJP, AP, EPUK website, numerous photo blogs).
It took a long time to persuade Alamy that unreported newspaper sales are a serious problem but after being presented with hundreds of examples they now have a project group investigating the issue.
The fundamental problem is that pursuing infringements is time consuming and difficult, and what can be recovered is little more than the infringer would have paid for a license. That makes it a good bet to infringe and see if the copyright holder finds out and complains. Mostly they won’t. If they do, and try to claim more than the newspaper wants to pay, they are told they’ll be blacklisted. Of course, suing to recover microstock level fees is a complete non-starter – nobody is going to spend a day or two assembling a case, £50 on a summons, attend court, to recover £10.
I’m off on my holidays now so I won’t be able to respond to any more comments until Friday. Have fun!
Pete Glastonbury says:
it depends on what program they use. If they use something like paintshop pro and resize the image and save it then it loses the Metadata. Also with the right click protection this is easily overcome by doing a screen grab (Print screen in Windows) which also strips out the metadata.
All too common these days,
Ian Hooker says:
Another one for the Leveson enquiry?????
A Green says:
I think you are making life too hard for yourself – simply find the print screen key, on the keyboard, or use the snipping tool, and take the image that way or look at the image source..
http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01540/CHICKS-MAIN_1540751a.jpg
and then look at the image properties
If you can see something on screen NOTHING can stop you copying the version on display.
As for stripping metadata – it is a basic “cleaning” process these days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata_removal_tool
I’m disappointed at the misinformation and ignorance displayed here. Removing metadata is like taking the plates off a car, there is no legitimate reason to do it. Rest assured that sites that do it do not strip 500bytes for page load times. They do it because they have no respect whatsoever for the creator or owner.
Once your metadata is gone, your photo is likely to be propagated around the web, and nobody will know you own the rights.
Many of you appear to be unaware of the ongoing battle to annexe the copyright of photographs and other works whose authors cannot be found (“orphan works”). This has been running since 2005, through the Gowers Review, the Lammy and IPO consultations, the Digital Economy Bill (where the offending clause was defeated by photographers) and the Hargreaves review and endless subsequent consultations.
If you want to know where we are now, read this week’s Register piece by Andrew Orlowski
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/02/govt_copyright_white_paper/
Dickie Bamford says:
I’d agree with David – They’re only doing everything that they can to reduce page load times. Suggesting that there’s any deeper malice at work here is quite ridiculous.
Within any modern news organisation there will be a team of folk responsible for publishing content online who look and consider every element on the web page they’re delivering. Not only that but the systems and automations they employ ensure that content published online is optimised as far as it can be – the size of everything is hugely important.
Technically, the thing that makes The Sun online more of a challenge I imagine is that they tend to have very long home pages by comparison to other newspaper sites, with literally dozens of different elements loading.
If they were to include the metadata for every image published then their customers who weren’t fortunate to have broadband probably wouldn’t bother waiting for the page to load.
Personally I think they’ve done a pretty good job at getting so much content onto their home page.
Nice shot too BTW.. (Hope the mother returned)
You are wrong. Stripping metadata has been a near universal newspaper practice for many, many years. Sometimes they insert their own.
Tampering with metadata is a criminal offence under the Copyright and Related Rights Regulatons 2003 – http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2498/regulation/25/made
The uselessness of these regulations is that you have to be able to prove intent to infringe copyright.
Blaz Obeniel Arias Juárez says:
Peter Russell says:
This is, sadly, no surprise to me. I have just discovered one of my images used by the on-line Sun that has been digitally modified by an in-house artist, published with no credits and then, remarkably, licensed by News Group Newspapers!
News International, and the Daily Express and Daily Mail, are masters at this sort of con. Any material sent to them at their request, once used legitimately, goes into the big syndication pot. This is despite statements that once used the material should be removed from all storage media. Material is routinely re-licensed and the author is only paid if he or she discovers the use. I have a friend who used to work on the Mail picture desk and have had this verified!
The problem is widespread and newspapers get away with it on two counts; one because authors seldom discover the illegal use and two because most authors are afraid to take on the might of the newspaper empire.
The problem with metadata in an image file is that it can be stripped out so easily; either on purpose or with software designed to reduce file size for on-line use as a previous correspondent noted. Both are illegal – ignorance of the law is no defence. Adobe should modify Photoshop et al so that metadata is locked in and can only be modified by the registered copyright owner or legal licensor.
Photographers often ask for this. Unfortunately no existing image file format can be modified to lock metadata. This is not my opinion but a statement of fact from Adobe’s John Nack. Besides there are legitimate reasons why the data has to change sometimes.
I’ll refer you to the only solution I know, which photographers really need to get behind and push, Plus. Read about it here: http://www.epuk.org/Opinion/985/on-the-plus-side
UK.gov proposes massive copyright land snatch... says:
[…] have recieved many representations that stripping metadata is of concern….here's an example:- Sun strips metadata and claims ownership… But again, the IPO do nothing and claim its already illegal. It is, but there is no effective […]
Rob Johns says:
I have never heard such ridiculous comments to justify stripping metadata. If the removal was so innocent then why change the Copyright Status tab from ‘Copyrighted’ to ‘Unknown.’
How is this going to impact page load times. People who don’t know what they are talking about should keep their mouths shut rather than justify the actions of news corporations who fail to give any regard to copyright and photographer’s rights. And yes, I’m talking from first hand experience.
dirk van der werff says:
If Stipple takes off ….. maybe that’s the future for image use on the web
http://www.stippleblog.com/
I’m not saying it’s justified or questioning the illegality of purging the metadata. I can also understand the concern and frustration at not being credited for the photo but the original question Gwyn posted here was ‘Why rub it out? What is the point? Who benefits?”
The answer to that question is that the removal of the metadata when the file was ‘optimized’ for the web simply saves on the amount of data being sent.
The fact that they have the javascript pop-up dialogoue window appear to tell Gwyn that he can’t copy the image doesn’t impact on the initial page load but is a successive command.
Who is going to benefit? Well one large group are going to be those readers of The Sun online who access it via dial-up or with a mobile device as they’re not going to have to wait so long.
Maybe if the image were submitted with the photographer’s credit and copyright info overlaid as text on top of the image (and to form part of the image) justified bottom right might be one way of having more success in getting the recognition deserved?
Mike Holden says:
Seriously, if they really wanted to optimise their content for the web, do you really think their home page would be so bloated, and full of images (many of them animated, or changing through some code add-on) and other metadata? The html is almost 3000 lines of code, and contains hundreds of images.
That’s not an exercise in cutting delivered content size in action.
Images will be compressed as part of the settings on the website (assuming they use something sensible, and their users also use a vaguely sensible browser), so textual metadata will effectively be pretty small, and even when uncompressed, will only account for a few dozen bytes, or a few hundred if the description is verbose. I have no big issue with description text being cut, but the copyright information should be preserved, and there’s no excuse on that.
I would just like to add my weight and support to everything Tony Sleep says.
I think it is totally naive to think that large International organisations such as NI are concerned with stripping metadata to reduce file size. If file size is a problem for them they will just get their huge IT departments to sort it out.
On the other hand, especially if the picture is of major international importance, hiding the original copyright could mean the difference between the organisation earning possibly £100,000’s and the photographer earning. If you were the head of a major paper which would you choose? I think taking a chance – from the newspapers point of view – is well worth the increase in the bottom-line. And, if and when they are found out, they can easily apologise for the ‘error’ pay the licensing fees due to the photographer and no more will be said. meanwhile they have had the benefit of having the money in THEIR bank account all the time, and the continuing future possibility of future sales rather than the the Photographer.
Look….if a mighty, major conglomerate such as NI is prepared to routinely break the law by listening in and tapping into private conversations, do you really think they are going to worry about the copyright of some unknown photographer, somewhere in the world complaining about the ownership of one photograph.
I spent a great deal of my early life in the Music Industry, you wanna talk about copyright theft????
Strength to your arm Tony, BTW I am a member of EPUK and would recommend to all fellow Togs.

Best States Ranking
December 6, 2019 Robert Payne Leave a comment
Seems like good timing when you move to Seattle, and then not long after the U.S. News & World Report releases their “Best States Ranking” with the state of Washington at the top of the list.
Education, fiscal stability and infrastructure are just a few of the categories they used to assess the strength of a particular region. After working in economic development for more than 7 years, and servicing EDs from the interactive agency side for more than 5 years, I can attest to how important these factors are to site consultants and companies. People often assume that discretionary and statutory incentives play the largest role in a company’s decision to relocate. And they wouldn’t be wrong. Job tax credits, R&D tax credits, investment tax credits, energy savings, and many other mechanisms to save companies money – that they can reinvest – are all very important.
But without the available workforce, and solid workforce training programs in place, any region is going to suffer over the long haul. Washington has that figured out, hence the reason they ranked #4 in that particular category. But what about “Natural Environment”? We all love it. We all need it. But here there is a Governor who has made it a cornerstone of his policies.
It has certainly been an awesome experience getting my little future workers out in the beauty that surrounds Seattle. Here are some recent outings.
A boy takes a leap from Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.
A woman looks out over Puget Sound from Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.
Mount Baker looms large over a lighthouse in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
A tanker passes by Dungeness Spit.
A sailboat makes its way across Puget Sound outside of Seattle in the afternoon light.
But certainly looking forward to seeing/learning/experiencing more.
Congrats on your ranking Washington!
