Posted: 11 Aug 1999
Date Written: March 18, 2010
The article explores the implications for First Amendment theory and doctrine -- especially public forum doctrine -- of the Supreme Court's 1998 decisions in Arksansas Educational Television Comm'n v. Forbes and Nat'l Endowment for the Arts v. Finley. Specifically, the article examines whether the two cases, viewed together, rest on a principle of government immunity from free speech restrictions when government acts in the capacity of a speaker; and if so, what limits should be placed on government claims of immunity.
The article explores this issue through four more specific questions: (i) How can a line be drawn between government acting as regulator of speech and government acting as speaker? (ii) When, if ever, may the government speak in the form of editorial judgment? (iii) Is a government speech selection judgment about news or public affairs, as in Forbes, different from a judgment about artistic or aesthetic expression, as in Finley? (iv) Does a government's "freedom" to speak (directly or through selection of speech by others) itself justify limiting the freedom of others to speak? Do Forbes and Finley, in other words, announce the arrival of an entirely new constitutional idea, the "government speech forum," and with it presage the radical realignment of the public forum doctrine? The article concludes that this is precisely what Forbes and Finley imply.

Problem description: A recent trend in personnel operations is to reduce hierarchy and allow employee teams to self-manage tasks, responsibilities, and rewards. Yet we know little about how this arrangement relates to worker productivity and fairness.
Academic/Practical relevance: We provide the first firm-based evidence that when service teams are allowed to internally allocate compensation, the ensuing peer bargaining process can generate inequitable outcomes for women.
Methodology: We demonstrate this using fixed effect models to identify productivity and peer bargaining traits in 932 workers at 32 large Chinese beauty salons. We measure individual productivity through service and prepaid card sales and measure bargaining through the division of team-based commissions. We also build a parsimonious bargaining model to explain our empirical results.
Results: Although productivity and bargaining outcomes are positively correlated, female workers consistently receive bargaining outcomes below their productivity level, while men are consistently overcompensated. Importantly, we provide evidence that our results can only be explained by a combination of higher prosociality and lower bargaining power in women. We also demonstrate that the resulting inequity is positively correlated with shorter tenure.
Managerial Implications: Our findings provide unique organizational evidence on how bargaining among peers relates to productivity in service operations. We show that the discriminatory social dynamics observed throughout society are evident in operational designs that delegate decision rights to teams, and that the magnitude in these systems is at least as large as those observed in traditional hierarchical pay systems. Managers must anticipate and mitigate this gender-based inequity because it is in and of itself an operational performance issue, and because of the myriad of productivity, retention, and ethical implications that can result from peer-based bargaining.

The colorful dimensions of Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle
By Randi Altman
How do you describe Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle? Well, in its most basic form it’s a comedy about the changing of the guard — or maestro — at the New York Philharmonic, and the musicians that make up that orchestra. When you dig deeper you get a behind-the-scenes look at the back-biting and crazy that goes on in the lives and heads of these gifted artists.
Timothy Vincent
Based on the novel Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music by oboist Blair Tindall, the series — which won the Golden Globe last year and was nominated this year — has shot in a number of locations over its three seasons, including Mexico and Italy.
Since its inception, Mozart in the Jungle has been finishing in 4K and streaming in both SDR and HDR. We recently reached out to Technicolor’s senior color timer, Timothy Vincent, who has been on the show since the pilot to find out more about the show’s color workflow.
Did Technicolor have to gear up infrastructure-wise for the show’s HDR workflow?
We were doing UHD 4K already and were just getting our HDR workflows worked out.
What is the workflow from offline to online to color?
The dailies are done in New York based on the Alexa K1S1 709 LUT. (Technicolor On-Location Services handled dailies out of Italy, and Technicolor PostWorks in New York.) After the offline and online, I get the offline reference made with the dailies so I can look at if I have a question about what was intended.
If someone was unsure about watching in HDR versus SDR, what would you tell them?
The emotional feel of both the SDR and the HDR is the same. That is always the goal in the HDR pass for Mozart. One of the experiences that is enhanced in the HDR is the depth of field and the three-dimensional quality you gain in the image. This really plays nicely with the feel in the landscapes of Italy, the stage performances where you feel more like you are in the audience, and the long streets of New York just to name a few.
When I’m grading the HDR version, I’m able to retain more highlight detail than I was in the SDR pass. For someone who has not yet been able to experience HDR, I would actually recommend that they watch an episode of the show in SDR first and then in HDR so they can see the difference between them. At that point they can choose what kind of viewing experience they want. I think that Mozart looks fantastic in both versions.
What about the “look” of the show. What kind of direction where you given?
We established the look of the show based on conversations and collaboration in my bay. It has always been a filmic look with soft blacks and yellow warm tones as the main palette for the show. Then we added in a fearlessness to take the story in and out of strong shadows. We shape the look of the show to guide the viewers to exactly the story that is being told and the emotions that we want them to feel. Color has always been used as one of the storytelling tools on the show. There is a realistic beauty to the show.
What was your creative partnership like with the show’s cinematographer, Tobias Datum?
I look forward to each episode and discovering what Tobias has given me as palette and mood for each scene. For Season 3 we picked up where we left off at the end of Season 2. We had established the look and feel of the show and only had to account for a large portion of Season 3 being shot in Italy. Making sure to feel the different quality of light and feel of the warmth and beauty of Italy. We did this by playing with natural warm skin tones and the contrast of light and shadow he was creating for the different moods and locations. The same can be said for the two episodes in Mexico in Season 2. I know now what Tobias likes and can make decisions I’m confident that he will like.
From a director and cinematographer’s point of view, what kind of choices does HDR open up creatively?
It depends on if they want to maintain the same feel of the SDR or if they want to create a new feel. If they choose to go in a different direction, they can accentuate the contrast and color more with HDR. You can keep more low-light detail while being dark, and you can really create a separate feel to different parts of the show… like a dream sequence or something like that.
Any workflow tricks/tips/trouble spots within the workflow or is it a well-oiled machine at this point?
I have actually changed the way I grade my shows based on the evolution of this show. My end results are the same, but I learned how to build grades that translate to HDR much easier and consistently.
Do you have a color assistant?
I have a couple of assistants that I work with who help me with prepping the show, getting proxies generated, color tracing and some color support.
What tools do you use — monitor, software, computer, scope, etc.?
I am working on Autodesk Lustre 2017 on an HP Z840, while monitoring on both a Panasonic CZ950 and a Sony X300. I work on Omnitek scopes off the downconverter to 2K. The show is shot on both Alexa XT and Alexa Mini, framing for 16×9. All finishing is done in 4K UHD for both SDR and HDR.
Anything you would like to add?
I would only say that everyone should be open to experiencing both SDR and HDR and giving themselves that opportunity to choose which they want to watch and when.

Twisted Fairy Tale #3
Apr 3, 2018 p0sy2 Commentsbondage apparel, collar, cunnilingus, Fairy tales, fellatio, mouth fucking, nipple clamps, p-spot, Sexual Humiliation, sub and dom, verbal humiliation, wrist cuffs
He’d left the club in such a hurry he hadn’t even bothered to grab his jacket. He needed to get out of there, avoid that woman’s clutches, even though it meant she’d give him a terrible rating. So far he had an unblemished 5 stars, but walking out on tonight’s date with Olivia Baker was going to end that.
His bio read “Gingerbread Man: Good enough to eat! With a gym-honed body and a sparkling wit you’ll enjoy each moment spent in the company of this fascinating guy who enjoys luxury travel, theatre and ball games.” Everyone who belonged to the agency knew those were euphemisms for liking role play and being submissive. His agency name referred to the golden tan he liked to maintain and his hair – blonde with red highlights.
He walked as fast as he could away from the industrial estate where the club was located, an anonymous building amongst businesses which operated there during daylight hours. He tried to shrug off the memory of Olivia dressing him in a giant towelling nappy and spooning baby food into his mouth before wanting him to suckle on her pendulous white titties! Curse the agency for getting him that gig; he enjoyed spankings and sensory deprivation … but age play was a step too far for him.
He was proud of his muscular physique, enjoyed being coated in a sheen of sweat and bound or gagged but was never happier than when being punished by a powerful woman. He enjoyed the feel of a paddle or flogger applied to his backside, the heat building up as the blows rained down on the backs of his thighs, his buttocks while the sting, ache and pain made his cock engorge with excitement. He loved the powerplay, it made him hard and humiliated simultaneously, yet that shame made his cock throb with lust. When a woman commanded him to kiss her shiny black boots or lick and suck at her pussy until she was swollen and running with juices, his emotions were hectic and euphoric.
He picked up the pace, a voice in his head chanting “run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man.”
Suddenly he was aware of blinding headlights speeding in from the right. He teetered on the edge of the kerb, trying to cease momentum before stepping into the path of the oncoming vehicle. He put out his hands in a gesture of stop/surrender and the tyres squealed as the big, luxury car skidded to a halt.
The full beam flooded his face and made him squint. He stumbled round to the passenger side and the driver buzzed down the window.
“I could’ve killed you!” her voice was deep and cultured, but irritated.
“I know, I know, I’m sorry. Can you give me a lift?” He pushed his blonde hair out of his eyes and gave the attractive woman driver his most appealing expression.
“I’m headed out of the city, does that suit you?”
His eyes travelled over her outfit, a form fitting red dress, a wide black belt laced like a corset cinching in her waist. The sweetheart neckline hinted at a dark shadowy cleavage buttressed by the curves of her breasts. He felt a stirring in his jeans as his erection pressed against the buttons of his flies; when working as an escort he went without underwear for speed. Nodding enthusiastically he operated the door handle and swung into the confines of the leather seat. With a press on the accelerator, the car sped silently away, leaving Olivia Baker and the O.T.T. sex club far behind.
In the car’s dark womb he took time for his eyes to adjust, then drank in the vision that was his rescuer. Her fiery red hair was wavy and tousled, loosely tamed into a plait resting over one shoulder. Her bust in profile was truly magnificent and he admired her curvy rear and shapely legs, fastened tightly into black suede high-heeled boots which laced all the way up to her thighs. He felt his boner stir again and a drop of precum gathered at the tip of his helmet. This lady was a fox!
The lights of the city sped by in a blur, it was late so only pubs and clubs and a few convenience stores were open. The people on the streets were either dressed up for a night out, or homeless folk wearing lots of layers with no shelter for the night. His eyes slid sideways again, to the woman at the wheel, wondering why she was alone on a Saturday night.
“I don’t want to hold you up if you’re meeting someone … drop me anywhere.”
“It’s not a problem, I’m on my way home.” Her deep voice was a purr, he found it sexy as hell.
“Oh, so you live outside the city?”
“Yeah, I like the suburbs, it’s a nice neighbourhood but folk keep themselves to themselves.”
He pondered that, personally he found total anonymity in the city, but was curious why she wanted privacy. As an escort he’d found people shared more details if you didn’t ask outright questions. He noticed when the gridwork of streets gave way to wider roads lined with trees. He wasn’t familiar with this neighbourhood, but it looked nice, classy.
“You got somewhere to go?” she asked, turning her head towards him.
“Not anymore.” He kept his eyes on her face.
“Wanna come back to mine? We can have a drink.”
Now that was more like it! He agreed enthusiastically and she steered the car smoothly to her place which was behind a hedge and down a drive. Mostly he hooked up with clients in hotel rooms, but her house was certainly impressive. He tried not to stare but he took in the manicured gardens, the many windows and the high-tech security system as she let him into her home.
“What’s your poison?” she called over her shoulder, while he tried to take in the expensive neutral decor and shiny surfaces. When she flung her coat and bag on a leather club chair in the hallway he was almost mesmerised by the sway of her curvy hips as she swanked ahead of him, stopping by a tray with glasses and crystal decanters.
“What’re you having?” He hedged.
“Scotch on the rocks.”
“I’ll join you, but a squirt of soda if you have it.” He should’ve guessed she’d drink like a guy! “Lovely place you have here, do you live alone?”
“Most of the time,” she sipped her drink, watching him over the rim of her glass, “my husband works abroad.”
They moved to a seating area, plush sofas with huge cushions grouped around a glass coffee table through which he could see stacks of photographic books, as if he’d stumbled into the pages of Homes and Gardens. She sat down and crossed her elegant legs, the red dress rode up her thighs so he tried not to stare.
“What keeps you busy?” she asked, her alert eyes dark with intelligence.
“I keep rich women company,” there – he’d said it. He braced himself for disgust or fury.
“D’you enjoy it?” she sipped her drink.
“Yes – mostly.” He wasn’t sure why he was being so honest, but he felt a connection and had nothing to lose.
“So you take them to the ballet, the theatre, that sort of thing?”
“Yeah, sometimes.” He didn’t elaborate and the silence was heavy for a beat.
“What else do you do?” She swirled the ice in her drink, leaning towards him. He watched as she wet her lips with her tongue and his cock throbbed in his jeans.
“I let them tie me up and fuck me.” He took a gulp of scotch and it burned his throat.
“Delicious!” she smiled and sat back, spreading her arms wide along the cushions. “Would you like to be fucked by me?”
For a moment he was dumbstruck, but his pulse kicked up and his engorged cock almost answered for him! “I work for an agency, women book me online.”
“But you’re not working tonight?”
“I was booked,” his shame at the events earlier made him feel wrong-footed, “but I cancelled the arrangement.”
“So I rescued you?”
“And you don’t have any more – ah – engagements for tonight?” She made it sound so businesslike.
“That’s settled then, I’d like to pay you to stay the night.” She downed her drink and stood up, smoothing her dress over her thighs while putting out a hand to shake on the deal.
As he grasped her hand it occurred to him that she hadn’t asked his rates, but living in a place like this he supposed that money wasn’t a problem.
“Follow me,” she said and sashayed ahead of him, through 2 large reception rooms towards the back of the house. “You can take your clothes off here,” and she indicated a small changing room with a slatted bench and hooks on the wall, the kind you’d find in a spa. “When you’re naked go through that door and you’ll find the pool and the jacuzzi, I’ll meet you there.”
The situation and the turn of events was slightly strange, but the Gingerbread Man undid his shirt and peeled off his jeans, leaving them hanging on the hooks, placing his shoes under the bench. He glimpsed himself in a long mirror, and was comforted by his reflection. His abs were defined like the squares on a bar of chocolate and his thick cock stood out from a hairless crotch, already semi aroused by his foxy hostess. His skin looked golden and flawless and he ran his hand through his glossy hair and winked, “you’ve hit the jackpot with this one mate!” Then he pushed the door open to the tiled pool room.
He didn’t have to wait long for his hostess to reappear, this time naked except for the long laced boots and a body harness of leather straps. Her beautiful red hair was tied up tighter than before, the plait falling from the crown of her head to swish between her shoulder blades like a tail. He noticed her bush was red too, neatly trimmed to a sparse triangle, framed by the leather straps which disappeared between her legs but most likely left access to her pussy. His cock bobbed and swelled in appreciation of the firm, toned flesh on display and her dominant demeanour, it seemed his luck had changed!
“Turn around,” she commanded, studying him like a racehorse. “Kneel.”
He sank to his knees, spreading his legs and putting his hands behind his back, this was standard stuff. Even when she fastened a blindfold over his eyes, he was not concerned.
“Pleasure me,” she instructed, “But don’t use your hands.”
So he followed the fragrance of her moist pussy, which was almost level with his nose, commencing licking, sucking and nibbling at her, letting his tongue worship her juicy folds. He teased moans and curses from her with his oral skills, and though his jaw ached and his tongue strained he only stopped sucking and teasing on her command.
“Very good,” she purred, walking behind him and fastening cuffs to his wrists. “Stand” she commanded and he rose to his feet, glad to feel the circulation returning to his legs.
“Have you ever worn a collar?” Her tone was domineering and it thrilled him.
“No,” he shook his head.
She gripped his chin forcefully, and he wanted to wince. “Address me as Mistress!”
“No Mistress,” he corrected his answer and she released her grip, trailing her hand down his neck and across his chest before grasping his nipple with pincer fingers.
“Do you like pain?” Her voice had a growl to it now, but before he could answer she laughed. “I see you do! Your pathetic little peeny has given the game away!” and she delivered a slap to his cock which stung like hell, yet had him throbbing with increased desire.
She grasped both his nipples firmly and tightened her fingers, pulling to elongate the nubs of flesh, while the Gingerbread Man did his best to suppress a groan of pleasure/pain.
She left him kneeling, while she clicked away along the poolside, when she returned he felt simultaneous pain in both nipples as she fastened them in some sort of clamps. Then she pulled on them both at once so the Gingerbread Man guessed the clamps were linked by a chain across his chest. Next he felt something go round his neck and he felt the brush of her breast near his face as the collar was fastened.
“Pretty” she remarked with satisfaction.
The Gingerbread Man did indeed feel pretty, this was his happy place: an attractive woman dominating him, some light bondage and a little pain. His nipples were tingling and his penis throbbing with unsatisfied desire, but if she edged him right, he could go on like this for hours. He enjoyed the anticipation and feeling slightly off balance. Wearing a blindfold or with a new playmate, he couldn’t guess what was going to happen next and that frisson felt both dangerous and exciting.
He felt a tug at his neck, she pulled on his collar and he stumbled, wanting to follow her but unsure where he was in relation to the water.
“Mistress, I can’t swim.” He felt shame at this confession. All the old taunts ran through his head: What sort of a grown-up can’t swim? Especially one who spends hours in the gym making their body look like an athlete’s.
“Pathetic,” she responded continuing to use the collar to guide him. Soon she commanded him to sit, and he tentatively lowered himself into a pool lounger.
“What are we going to do with this pathetic little thing?” she questioned as he sat, knowing that his erection was engorged and throbbing, with pre-cum gathering at it apex. No-one had ever been disappointed in his manhood before, but her words made him doubt himself.
Suddenly he felt warmth and wetness encompass his knob, and he knew she’d taken him into her mouth. He felt a soar of delight as she sucked and licked at him, teasing round the frenulum and pulling gently on his ball sac. Then it stopped and there was silence.
“It’s not getting any bigger? Is that the best you have to offer me?” Her cruel words cut into him, even as her tugging on the chain between his nipples made him squirm in agonized excitement. “Lean back,” she commanded, pushing him to a reclining position which was not at all comfortable with his arms fastened behind him. She fellated him some more, letting her mouth get really slobbery and pumping up and down on his length, from sensitive tip to almost swallowing him whole. With the blindfold on and his hands restrained, he began to feel he was just a disembodied cock, all his focus pinpointed in on the licking and sucking his foxy Mistress was lavishing on him. She drew her mouth up and down, keeping her lips tight on his circumference so he could feel the flesh of her throat bumping and stroking his glans as she sucked him deep.
The Gingerbread Man grew dizzy with pressure building in his core, while his balls tightened, ready to shoot their load. She maintained her relentless sucking, bobbing pace while wriggling a finger under him, past the pad of his perineum to snake it into his anus, pressing and wheedling in until she was massaging his p-spot. Holy cow! That was it – he was undone. He let fly with ropes of hot, urgent spunk, while she held her mouth steady and swallowed all he had to offer. He came and came, his aching cock pumping throbs of pearlescent, salty liquid into the warm tunnel of her greedy mouth, and the foxy lady gobbled him right up.
Later that night the Gingerbread Man knew he was never going home to his old life, his new mistress had her claws too deep into him. He willingly agreed to her locking his wilted cock into a cage. Now she owned his body, his orgasms, even his arousal! He did not dare think of her beautiful body and the sexy yet humiliating things she’d done to him over the last few hours, for fear of his member stiffening in the cruel confines of its restrictive cage. He tried to get comfortable in the single bed in the bare room she’d told him to occupy, far from the life he was used to and the people he’d known, but he sighed to be safely under her control.

Kaduna Govt launches multi-media campaign on child feeding
November 23, 2018 Admin 0 Comments
The Kaduna State Government with support from Alive and Thrive on Friday launched a multi-media campaign to improve Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices in the state.
Launching the campaign in Kaduna, Hajiya Aisha El-Rufai, wife of the state governor, said that the campaign was designed to create attitudinal and behavioural change among parents and care givers on IYCF practices.
Mrs El-Rufai explained that the campaign tagged “Start Strong’’ is designed to give a child a chance for a better future and quality life.
She said that poor knowledge about early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding has remained a major challenge in the fight against malnutrition in the state.
According to her, the multi-media campaign is designed to create the needed knowledge on IYCF to increase demand for nutrition services as well as good IYCF practices among parents and caregivers.
She said that KADENAP had trained journalists in the state on issues around nutrition and malnutrition and the situation in the state.
She assured that several of such training would be organised particularly on IYCF messages to properly equip the media with the needed information for the campaign.
“The state government is committing resources and putting sustainable measures through KADENAP in addressing the scourge of malnutrition in the state,” she said.
Mr Christopher Musa, State Team Leader, Alive and Thrive, said that without the mass media, the fight against malnutrition we cannot succeed.
“That is why we are mobilising the media to take IYCF messages to all the nook and crannies of the state.
“The idea is to create the needed awareness on best feeding practices that ensures healthy growth and development of the child,” Musa said.
The state Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Paul Dogo, described IYCF as a crucial step towards ensuring uninterrupted healthy growth and development of a child.
According to him, appropriate IYCF practices is key in laying the required foundation for a healthy generation that will take the state to greater heights.
“If we can get mothers to practise early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding for six months and adequate complementary feeding after the first six month, it will go a long way in preventing malnutrition.
“This is a collective responsibility by all relevant stakeholders; we must ensure that parents and care givers are enlightened and educated on how to properly feed a child for healthy development.”
Dogo commended development partners for supporting the state to meet the health and nutritious needs of the people of the state.
Dr Zainab Idris, the Programme Manager, Kaduna State Emergency Nutrition Action Plan (KADENAP), said that the multi-media campaign would help in mainstreaming IYCF practices in communities across the state.
“We are not here only to too look at the issues but how to carry the campaign to grassroots for mothers and caregivers to embrace good IYCF practices as part of measures of preventing malnutrition,” Idris said.
Malam Isa Ibrahim, the Nutrition Advocacy Adviser, Save the Children International, thanked the state government for the commitment toward improving the nutrition status of children in the state.
Ibrahim noted that the state was among the most vulnerable states in terms of malnutrition crises in the North West region.
However, he noted that though the state has recorded some level of improvement in the nutrition indices on children, much needs to be done in bridging the gap between knowledge and practice on IYCF.
He commended the state government for allocating about N610 million for nutrition intervention in 2018, but regretted that the release was so far below 20 per cent.
According to Ibrahim, not much will be achieved if allocated funds are not released on time.

Through the Challenge Awards, the foundation supports cross-disciplinary teams to develop challenging projects that are not eligible for current grants and awards. The teams are encouraged to use state-of-the-art biotechniques and to include new research expertise in basic or translational research. This is the first Challenge Award in the history of the foundation that was solely awarded to investigators at the University of Minnesota (UMN). Led by Aaron LeBeau, PhD, assistant professor in the department of pharmacology, and Branden Moriarity, PhD, assistant professor in the department of pediatrics at the UMN Medical School, the project aims to use a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer. While cell-based therapies using T cells are already being used for some cancer types, LeBeau and Moriarty are hoping to devise an immunotherapy that uses natural killer (NK) cells instead. NK cells are an integral component of the immune system and play a major role in protecting against cancer. They are able to recognize certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells, and kill them by injecting cell-degrading proteins into the malignant cells. While NK and T cells have similar anti-cancer properties, NK cells don

Boston Brothers Charged In Beating Of Homeless Hispanic Man, Cite Donald Trump’s Immigration Stance As Inspiration
Desire Thompson
Two Boston men are facing assault charges for beating up a homeless Hispanic man and citing Donald Trump’s stance on immigration as inspiration.
According to The Boston Globe, a 58-year-old man was severely beaten by Steve and Scott Leader. The brothers were arrested on Wednesday after witnesses saw them approach the man at the Dorchester MBTA stop. After awakening the man by urinating on him, the brothers punched him in the face and hit him with a metal pole.
The Leader brothers told police they were attacked by the man, but witnesses refuted their account.
The Boston Globe reports:
Witnesses told police they saw the men attack the homeless man. One woman said she saw him hunched over and clutching the pole, apparently to defend himself, according to the report. She told police one of the suspects grabbed the pole and struck him three or four times, including in the head.
After they were arrested, one of the brothers told police they were inspired by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has made disparaging remarks about immigrants in recent months.
“Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” he allegedly told the police.
The man was taken to Boston Medical Center, where he is listed in fair condition. His injuries include a broken nose, bruises on his head, and a battered torso.
Scott Leader was convicted of a hate crime and imprisoned for one year after attacking a Moroccan man in Boston days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, according to court records. Leader threw a cup at the man, who was working at a Dunkin’ Donuts, calling him “terrorist” and several ethnic slurs.
During a news conference late Wednesday, the presidential nominee was asked about the incident and instead of passionately condemning the action, he called his alleged supporters “passionate.”
The New York Times reports:
“It would be a shame,” Mr. Trump said, before adding: “I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”
The Leader brothers are currently being held without bail.
Trump’s supporters have invited scrutiny in the past. Fox News host Megyn Kelly was forced to take a week vacation and beefed up security after she was sent death threats for criticizing Trump while hosting the first Republican presidential debate.

Can a stodgy intellectual who regards the 20th century as a waste of time find happiness with an American teen idol who doesn't really know him? That's the question posed in this gentle satiric comedy. Giles De'ath (John Hurt), who takes great pains to remind people that his surname is pronounced "Day-ath," is a well-regarded British author whose wife passed away a decade ago. Since then, Giles has retreated into a world of his own; he is thoroughly disinterested in contemporary culture and lives in the 20th century only to the degree that it is absolutely necessary. However, one night Giles accidentally locks himself out of his apartment just as a rainstorm has begun to open up the sky. Soaked to the skin, he takes refuge in a nearby movie theater, since he's heard that the works of E.M. Forster have lately become popular screen fodder. However, once inside the multiplex, Giles discovers to his disgust that he's accidentally bought a ticket for a low-brow teen flick called Hot Pants College II. Just as he's about to register his repugnance with the management, actor Ronnie Bostock (Jason Priestley) appears on screen, and immediately Giles is entranced. In Ronnie, Giles discovers an unexpected sort of beauty that he's never considered before, and he's eager to learn more about the young actor. However, Giles soon discerns that reading up on his new obsession means buying teen-oriented fanzines (whose covers proclaim him "Snoggable!"), where he learns that Ronnie's own cultural signposts include Axl Rose and Stephen King, whose names could just as well be Sanskrit to Giles. He also discovers that to view the rest of Ronnie's screen work, he must visit a video rental store, which means he must first purchase a VCR, and that he'll also require a (gulp!) television in order for the VCR to work. Eventually, Giles finds out that Ronnie lives in a small town on Long Island, and decides to fly there, hatching a scheme to meet Ronnie by first making the acquaintance of Audrey (Fionna Loewi), Ronnie's fashion model girlfriend. Based on the acclaimed short novel by Gilbert Adair, Love and Death on Long Island was adapted for the screen and directed by Richard Kwietniowski.

An observant, richly funny look at unlikely obsession (which takes its cue wittily from Visconti's Death in Venice), this engaging debut film by Richard Kwietniowski manages to be a slightly satiric dissection of class structure as well as a tale of unrequited love, a truly difficult balance that this film makes winning and real. John Hurt excels in a tricky lead role, mostly due not only to his mordant wit as an actor, but to his warm realization of the events the film depicts. The movie's look at contrasting sensibilities shines through, and never cheapens the central relationship of the two leads, giving it a gravity that a less nuanced film would have missed entirely. Jason Priestley is also a key to the film's success, delightfully sending up his television heartthrob background and, more importantly, creating an object of affection that is believable and endearing. Many critics have pointed out that the story bears some resemblance to the Oscar-winning Gods and Monsters that would follow a year later, and though there are similarities, this picture is truly original in its own right and deserves a larger audience than its scant release would have indicated.

Telstra Is Working On Improving Online Gaming For Nintendo Switch And Other Portable Devices
In Nintendo News
Telstra has announced today that they’re working on a number of concepts within the gaming space.
Firstly, is an addition to their Xbox All Access service which allows gamers to get the Xbox One S and Xbox One X on a contract. Those that sign up from today will get a copy of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order for free. Telstra also announced that the Xbox One Elite Controller V2 would come to the service and allow gamers to get it on a contract.
In more interesting news though, Telstra said that they are working on some concepts for gamers that will allow portable gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch to be connected to the mobile network without affecting speeds or performance. It’s a bit of a weird one considering the Switch can’t connect to a mobile network natively, but we’re assuming that this is going to be when used with a mobile broadband service or tethered your phone.
RELATED: Nintendo Has Dropped The Price Of NES Controllers And SNES Controllers Are Back
“We have also been trialling low-latency concepts across the mobile network with gamers that enable a huge opportunity for portable gaming devices like Nintendo Switch to be connected over the mobile network without impacting online gamingperformance. The results so far are really promising, and we’re continuing to develop the concept for next year. This is critical when we think about coverage and consistency of experience across the mobile network, particularly as we head into cloud gaming where the demand from a bandwidth and latency perspective is key.”
RELATED: Nintendo Has Provided A Look At 2020 Nintendo Switch Games With Surprises To Come
Telstra also said they’re working on making the network faster for things like cloud gaming and accessing Xbox content:
“We’re continuing to make our network faster for gamers too, building on the existing work we’ve done with Microsoft to make access to Xbox content even faster and more reliable. The work we teased late last year on creating a gaming optimised broadband product also isn’t too far away. We think it offers a real point of difference from customers that are purchasing additional gaming routers or gaming VPNs today in a way that’s simple and integrated into our Smart Modem.”

Autoworkers must prepare fight as UAW plans new givebacks in 2019 contracts
By Shannon Jones
Anger is boiling in the auto factories over GM’s announced plans to close five factories, including the Detroit-Hamtramck facility, the Lordstown, Ohio plant and the Oshawa, Ontario factory, as part of a drive to cut 14,000 jobs. Ford has meanwhile announced it is eliminating a shift, 1,000 jobs, at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant south of Detroit.
The demonstration held Saturday, February 9 in Detroit called by the WSWS Autoworker Newsletter and the Steering Committee of the Coalition of Rank-and-File Committees against the GM plant closures was the first response of class-conscious workers aimed at mobilizing broad resistance. It was organized in explicit opposition to the pro-company United Auto Workers and won widespread support among workers in the US and internationally, including the striking maquiladora workers in Matamoros, Mexico.
In reaction against this United Auto Workers President Gary Jones wrote an op-ed column published in the February 10 issue of the Detroit Free Press in which he tried to get autoworkers to believe that the union “has their back.” Pointing to upcoming contract talks with Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler to replace the four-year agreements that expire on September 14, Jones claimed the UAW would conduct “a major battle at the bargaining table to keep the plants open and save union jobs.”
At the same time, Jones resorted to the UAW’s stock-in-trade of seeking to deflect workers’ anger by railing against foreign workers, denouncing GM for expanding production in China and Mexico. Significantly, Jones made no mention of the threatened closure of GM’s Oshawa plant outside Toronto in Canada.
The idea that the UAW would fight to defend anything other than the interests of the corrupt union executives would be laughable if the issues were not so serious for autoworkers, their families and the communities facing devastation due to plant closures. Autoworkers have watched over the last four decades as the UAW has negotiated one concessionary “job saving” agreement after another with the result that hundreds of thousands of jobs have been eliminated, while workers’ living standards and shop floor rights have been decimated.
As for the supposed pledge obtained by the UAW from newly-elected Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer to oppose GM plant shutdowns, the governor, a long-time shill for big business, didn’t even bother to mention the issue in her State of the State address this week.
The contract talks are not a contest between antagonists, but a conspiracy of the auto bosses and the UAW against the workers. What the UAW calls negotiations are behind-the-scenes maneuvers where high-level operatives haggle over what portion of the profits pumped out of autoworkers and stolen from their wages and benefits will be funneled into the bank accounts of the UAW. This is the purpose of the various joint training funds and programs funded by the auto companies and the millions of dollars in bribes paid to top UAW officials, as revealed in the ongoing corruption scandal.
Writing in the wake of GM’s plant closing announcement in November, Automotive News called the job cuts a shot across the bow aimed at forcing workers to, in the words of an analyst, “focus on jobs and survival” in 2019 rather than contract gains. It cynically added, “But if any of the plants are saved, union members should read the fine print in the contract. Expect GM to demand untraditional employment practices such as an increase in temporary, subcontracted or outsourced workers.”
Both the auto companies and the UAW are determined to purge the factories of older “legacy” workers, who have higher wages, health and pension benefits, and replace them with low-paid workers who pay dues but have few if any rights. In the 2015 negotiations the UAW agreed to remove limits on the number of temporary part-time workers, who are essentially casual workers who could be disposed of without cost in case of downsizing.
It is also likely that a new effort will be made to relieve the corporations of their health care obligations altogether by establishing a union-controlled scheme to manage medical benefits for active workers, similar to the VEBA retiree health care program, which is funded by billions in auto company stock. Well aware that the UAW had cut benefits to retirees after taking over their health plans, there was near-universal opposition to extending this to current workers. This was a major factor behind the initial defeat of the 2015 UAW-FCA contract, which forced the corporations and the UAW to drop the demand.
There is no time to lose. Preparations must be made now by workers to assert their own interests in opposition to the gang up of corporate management and the UAW. In preparing for a fight, workers must begin with the understanding that in the UAW they face an enemy just as bitter and unrelenting as management. In every factory, workers should elect rank-and-file oversight committees to sit in on all the contract talks and report regularly to workers in the factories. This is the only way to prevent backroom deals that are rammed through against the will of workers.
At the same time, rank-and-file committees, independent of the UAW and Unifor, must be built to mobilize the broadest opposition, including mass demonstrations, strikes and plant occupations, to prevent the shutdown of the GM plants, resist demands for new concessions and to restore all UAW-backed concessions.
Meetings in the factories and on social media must be organized to formulate a list of demands that begins with the needs of workers, not the interests of the corporations and the UAW. This includes a 40 percent wage increase to compensate for the increased cost of living, the abolition of all tiers, the conversion of part-time and contract workers to full-time regulars, and the rehiring of all laid-off and victimized workers. To break the dictatorship of the corporations and their UAW police force in the factories workers must fight for industrial democracy, including workers’ control over health and safety as well as line speed.
In waging this fight it is critical that workers review the bitter lessons of the 2015 sellout negotiated in secret by the UAW.
The claim by Jones that the UAW is focused on jobs can mean nothing but the imposition of huge new concessions. In 2015 the UAW agreed to a new lower sub-tier wage at three Ford plants, including the Sterling Axle, Woodhaven Stamping and Rawsonville powertrain plants in suburban Detroit. New workers at these plants would max out at a wage about $10 an hour less than “legacy” workers in 2019. At the Woodhaven plant, new workers can make as little as $9 an hour under a “competitive wage structure” agreed to by the UAW.
These brutal conditions played a role in the death of temporary part-time worker Jacoby Hennings, who police claimed shot himself after an unexplained dispute with UAW officials at the Woodhaven Stamping plant in October 2017. Another young worker, Davion Rice, died at the Sterling Axle plant last September in circumstances that have still not been fully explained.
In 2010, the UAW attempted to force through an agreement on workers at the General Motors Indianapolis Stamping plant imposing a 50 percent wage cut, claiming it was necessary to keep the facility open under new ownership. After workers voted three times to reject the cuts, the UAW allowed GM to close the plant without opposition.
The February 9 demonstration organized by the Steering Committee of the Coalition of Rank-and-File Committees and the WSWS Autoworker Newsletter laid out the strategy for the coming struggle. First, workers must organize independently of the corporate-controlled unions and fight for the broadest mobilization of not just autoworkers but all sections of the working class.
Second, this is an international fight. It is not possible to fight globally-organized corporations on a national basis. Rank-and-file committees in the US must link up with workers in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, South America and Africa to wage a common fight to defend jobs and living standards.
Finally, this a fight not just against this or that employer but against the entire capitalist system, which subordinates the needs of the working class—the vast majority of the planet’s population—to the relentless drive by the corporate and financial oligarchy for more private wealth.
The fight to defend jobs and for industrial democracy raises the question of who should run the factories. The insistence that workers have the inalienable right to a good-paying and secure job is an implicit challenge to the “right” of Wall Street and wealthy stockholders to own and control giant industries and to close them and destroy entire communities whenever they choose.
The broadest industrial mobilization of the working class against plant shutdowns must go hand in hand with the organization of a political fight based on a socialist program directed toward the transformation of the auto factories into public utilities under the democratic ownership and control of the working class.

Tag: saint breakout
To Aru Majutsu no Index III – 09 – Saint v Saint
Kaori crosses swords with Acqua, whose birth name we learn to be William Orville, a former mercenary for the Anglicans but moved to the Roman Orthodox church. We also learn that Kaori, on her own, is absolutely no match for him.
His attacks have her flat on her back and spread eagle across vasts fields of rubble and debris, though to her credit she never stops getting up and dusting herself off, a resoluteness he admires even if he’s quite certain there’s nothing she or anyone else can do to keep him away from Touma.
As for Touma, he’s limping towards the battle when Misaka encounters him, and insists that he allow her to help. That might well have made the fight an easy one for him, but he declines the offer, and while she’s not happy about not being able to fight, she can understand there’s significance in him going it alone.
That’s ironic, since Kaori, who left the Amakusa church in part to protect her comrades, categorically can not stand alone and survive against Acqua; he’s just too goddamn talented and powerful, and the more beat-up she gets, the more his confidence in victory soars.
But he didn’t count on Kaori calling to Amakusa to jump down to the level of the battle and combine their powers to help her. Itsuwa was just getting done talking about how she and her group’s fighting was child’s play compared to the scale of a saint-on-saint battle (and it was), but Kaori doesn’t need them to defeat Acqua, she just needs a little help.
She gets it, and Acqua is sufficiently distracted in trying to bring the hammer down on all of them that he completely misses Touma slipping him below him, in the direct path of the attack, which Imagine Breaker nullifies in a very satisfying moment.
In Acqua’s moment of vulnerability, Itsuwa comes back at him with Saint Breakout and this time it works. The multi-pronged attack on him actually reminded me of the Avengers in one of their attempts to use teamwork and elaborate tactics to bring Thanos down on Titan. They failed, but Touma, Itsuwa, Kanzaki and Amakusa succeed: Acqua is defeated.
After a brief flashback to when William Orville left England, Touma wakes up back in the hospital, under the gentle ministrations of Itsuwa. The two get a little too close for Index’s comfort, especially considering she was by his bid longer.
Kanzaki wants to thanks Touma for his help, but is a bit squirrelly about it until Tsuchimikado breaks out a “fallen angel maid” outfit for her to wear. Unfortunately we never get to see it in all its glory, but it certainly makes an impression on Index, Itsuwa, and Touma! Glad to see the lighter side of Index closely follow the stern and serious climactic battle.
From there we’re shown the next threats to Academy City in Fiamma of the Right, apparently the leader of the Right Hand of God. While Acqua took out a pillar in the Vatican, the damage Fiamma causes attacking the Roman Pope cracks the dome like an egg. That is not going to buff out!
After Fiamma takes off with Index as his target, the Pope orders the fourth member of RHoG, the pierced-up Vento of the Front, to go after Fiamma. Of course, Vento doesn’t take orders from the Pope, but she’s going anyway.
Finally, we also get a glimpse of Mr. Academy City himself, Al Crowley, upside down in his office-cocoon thingy telling his computers to do various things relating to Imagine Breaker. Looks like we’ll have plenty of material to work through to fill the remaining sixteen weeks.

Haley Heynderickx Is Indie Folk’s Refreshing New Artist On The Rise
September 27, 2018 · by rachelannc · in Articles, Concerts, Music. ·

The Portland-based Filipino-American artist, who blends folk, rock, classical and punk, is already making a name for herself.
“You must all be freelancers,” Portland singer-songwriter Haley Heynderickx said to the crowd.
Heynderickx, a fairly new artist on our radar who has been making waves on NPR and Rolling Stone for her beautifully unguarded indie folk tunes that manage to blend folk, rock and punk, made her LA debut at the Lodge Room in Highland Park Monday night.
Fresh off the release of her debut album I Need To Start A Garden — a project she mentioned had come with its fair share of struggles (routine recording sessions had started, scrapped, and started up again due to varying technical difficulties) — Heynderickx brought her full band for a week-long West Coast Tour, starting in Johnsville, CA, to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and back home to Portland, OR and Seattle, WA this week.
Upon first listen of her music and breakout single “Oom Sha La La,” Heynderickx is a delight. Her guitar strings are warmly plucked; her voice is both fragile and gentle; her music unpredictably soft and loud; and her backing band gets into a groove and sings-along to a head-bopping chorus. Her recorded music takes on the ambiance of an intimate live room session — echoey and hollow — as an artistic choice to bring the live performance straight to the listener’s bedroom.
As a performer, Heynderickx is endearingly awkward and confident. Her quirky nature and candid banter with the band — full with a trombone, keys and drums — was a delight to watch. As an audience, we felt a part of her performance. She commanded the attention of a dedicated and supportive crowd, in love with her lush arrangements and songs that are both intimate and other times unpredictable — sometimes singing in plain fashion, other times in a mild yell.
During a moment of changing tuning for the next song, she challenged the crowd to meet and talk to someone new, as if it were part of the song. As her guitar string audibly slung into a different tuning, it was moments like that that made you smile.
Heynderickx’s dry sense of humor and soft-spoken nature are just a part of what makes her charming. Her lyricism and use of imagery in her music makes her standout as a refreshing and promising new artist in the folk world. Her songs are layered in detail, oft with introspective lyrics, ghostlike vocals and heartfelt sentiments of love, loss and confusion.
In songs like “The Bug Collector,” her intricate fingerpicking style played to whispery vocals about collecting and clearing out bugs show both her musical deft and lush lyricism. As she sings about fear and clearing out the bugs “to prove that nothing’s out to get you,” the song is both fun and sad — tinged with metaphors of getting rid of one’s demons — as a bellowing trombone plays in the background.
In other songs like “Worth It” — the album’s longest track leaning on eight-minutes — the electric guitar gives more of a punk feel and picks up speed at different times. Her voice goes from a gentle sweep to a soft exhaustion as she tempts the listener to “put me in a line” and “put me in a box and call me anything you want, boy.” She gently goes back into a rock-guitar melody and folky-guitar section, only then to sing in a helpless fashion as if she’s talking to herself:
“Maybe I, maybe I’ve been selfish
Maybe I, maybe I’ve been selfless
Maybe I, maybe I’ve been worthless
Maybe I, maybe I’ve been worth it”
With the emergence of breakout Asian-American musicians, akin to the angsty indie rock of Mitski and folk sentiments of Thao Nguyen, Heynderickx upholds her own soft and beautiful style of folk. Her lyrics are both introspective and expressive, with the ability to paint pictures in your mind; her music is incredibly artistic, tasteful and self-aware; and, as the Filipino-American artist was happy to see some other Filipinos in the audience, she has already been drawing in dedicated crowds.
I’m sure we’ll be hearing more of Heynderickx soon. Her music sticks and haunts with a raw honesty and sincerity that you didn’t know hit you — and I’m loving it.

I just attended an event yesterday evening where Haley and her band played her in Portland and what a gem she is. I watched from the second row and watched closely how her band interacted within the group and how she spoke to the crowd was very genuine. Hours after the event I found myself humming to myself and I’m sure I was off key but that did not matter I was still in the moment and enjoyed every minute of it. I suggest to at the very least if you cannot see her live then find her on YouTube. You will not regret it. Haley you were fantastic and I love the band too.

Troy Cartwright Unveils ‘My Girl (She’s All Mine)’ Lyric Video
Today (Sept. 10) Troy Cartwright released the lyric video for his latest single "My Girl (She's All Mine)." Cartwright a newcomer to the Texas scene is already making a splash, and perking ears. The Dallas Observer even took notice christening him a Must-See Act in 2015.
Still wondering why you should take the time to check him out? Here is what folks are saying about the young Dallas native’s album and show:
“The record is packed with gems both rocking and of the quieter variety, all of which display a fine depth.. one of the very best of 2015.”
- Kelly Dearmore - The Dallas Observer
“Dallas singer-songwriter Troy Cartwright’s new, self-titled album is his first, but it plays like his 50th. There’s an ease and a polish to these country tunes belying Cartwright’s relative youth (the Berklee College of Music grad is 23).”
- Preston Jones - Fort Worth Star Telegram
“All in all, the album is a worthwhile listen that stirs what makes us all feel young and poignantly reminds us how fragile we all are when it comes to love, heartbreak and home”
- C.L. Harmon - Red Dirt Nation
“Troy possess an ability to write about relationships and life, both the positive and negative aspects, with the depth of someone more seasoned. The album is a complete one, full of story songs that will resonate with listeners of any age; songs told by a clear, young voice that will surely age like a good whiskey.”

Based on the John Marsden classic novel, Tomorrow When the War Began is the story of seven teenagers who return from a camping trip to find Australia has been invaded by a foreign power.
With their friends and families captured, they decide to band together to fight the invaders. This causes them to question personal beliefs and pushes them to do things that they previously thought unimaginable. The movie delves into the teenagers’ loss of fundamental freedoms, the feelings of helplessness that result, and their determination to fight for what is important to them.
War; death; family separation; drug use; delinquency; cruelty to animals
This movie contains many violent scenes. For example:
Homer, Lee and Kevin yell at each other aggressively when they are trying to decide what to do with Flip (Kevin’s dog).
Ellie sees a captured prisoner shot in the head at close range.
Ellie, Kevin and Carrie are pursued by the invaders. Ellie lights a petrol-soaked rag and throws it towards some machinery. This causes a large explosion and kills some of the invaders. There is a close-up shot of a dead soldier badly burned on the face.
The teenagers carry shotguns. Ellie takes a machinegun from one of the soldiers she has killed.
An Australian fighter plane is pursued by enemy planes and eventually blown up by a missile.
The house the teenagers are staying in is spotted by a surveillance helicopter, which signals to the fighter planes. The planes fire missiles, which destroy the house as the teenagers jump to save themselves.
Ellie, Robyn and Lee try to get away from the soldiers in a garbage truck. The soldiers shoot relentlessly at them while chasing them through the dark streets. One of the soldier’s cars gets caught in powerlines and is swung into a building and explodes. The other pursuing car runs into debris dropped by the rubbish truck. The car veers off into the roof of a house and bursts into flames.
Chris describes how he found a family all dead in their crashed car. He describes how all the family members, including their little baby, had been shot several times before they crashed.
After Chris falls asleep at his post, Ellie aims the machine gun at him, threatening to shoot him. Then she aims the gun at herself and tells him to ‘shoot her while she is awake’.
Robyn sees soldiers creeping silently up to an unknowing Ellie and Fiona waiting in the petrol tanker. Robyn picks up a machinegun and kills all the soldiers. This is despite her saying that it against her beliefs to commit murder and she would never do it.
Kevin, Homer and Carrie are shot at while herding the cows over the bridge. Carrie is shot in the side, and we see her bloody wound.
Chris lights a fuel-soaked rope, which causes a petrol tanker to explode in a massive fire ball. This destroys a bridge.
At the end of the movie, we see the teenagers all standing with shot guns, machineguns and rounds of ammunition draped around their bodies.
In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, there are several scenes in this movie that could scare or disturb children under eight. For example:
Kevin discovers a snake in his sleeping bag. The snake slithers towards Ellie and Lee. Lee kills it by hitting it over the head with a stick just before it is about to bite Ellie.
Kevin suddenly jumps out of the darkness after running away from Ellie and Carrie.
The teenagers come home to find their parents are not there. They have been captured and are guarded by soldiers in a makeshift prisoner camp.
When the teenagers come back from their camping trip, they discover that Ellie’s dog has been shot and killed.
An invading helicopter closely circles the house at night time. It is dark and the noise of the rotors is very loud. It shines a spotlight in the house. The scene is very suspenseful.
Soldiers walk through dark streets with their machineguns.
The scenes where soldiers creep up on Ellie and Fiona in the petrol tanker are very suspenseful.
Cows stampede across the bridge, causing soldiers to jump out of the way quickly. Some soldiers even jump off the bridge.
In addition to the violent and scary scenes and themes mentioned above, this movie contains scenes and themes that could disturb children in this age group. For example, they might be particularly disturbed by the idea of invasion by a hostile force.
Younger children in this age group might also find the content of the movie disturbing.
This movie contains some sexual references. For example, Carrie talks to Ellie about ‘sleeping’ with Kevin. Ellie asks Carrie if she wants to go away camping just to ‘have more sex’.
This movie contains some use of substances. For example, Chris is identified as a ‘stoner’. He is shown smoking marijuana and possibly cigarettes. He also uses the terms ‘bent’ and ‘baked’.
This movie contains some nudity and sexual activity. For example:
Carrie wears some low-cut tops that reveal cleavage.
Carrie and Kevin kiss passionately many times.
Ellie kisses Lee.
Homer looks lustily at Fiona undressing down to her bikini.
The following products are displayed or used in this movie: Maggi two-minute noodles and Vegemite.
This movie contains some coarse language.
Tomorrow When the War Began is a very dramatic movie. It shows the dangers faced by a group of teenagers who return from a camping trip to find their homeland invaded by a foreign power. Their loved ones have been captured and imprisoned. Although some younger teens might have read the book on which the movie is based, you should be aware that this is definitely a movie for older adolescents and adults. For example, confronting scenes show the teens:
struggling to make choices between right and wrong behaviours (given the difficult situation they are in)
pushing the limits of their personal beliefs
dealing with the reality of the consequences of their actions.
The main messages from this movie are about:
fighting for what is important to you and what you believe in
valuing friendships, particularly in times of trouble
thinking about freedom and how we take it for granted
considering the consequences and dangers of war
living with the consequences of choices that we make.
Values in this movie that you could reinforce with older children include friendship, bravery and confronting your fears, independence and resilience.
You could also discuss the following issues with older children:
loss of freedom of speech
use of firearms and the debate surrounding gun laws
underage and unprotected sex
invasion of countries by other nations.

The word ‘TERF’
The label ‘TERF’, or ‘Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist’:
Is not a meaningful description of any feminist politics.
Radical feminism is an approach to analysing the oppression and exploitation of the class of female people by the class of male people. It seeks to uncover and challenge the root causes and origins of that system of oppression, which it labels patriarchy. Different radical feminist analyses will emphasise different elements – access to female reproductive labour, sexual access to women’s bodies, compulsory heterosexuality, male-dominated religion – as central to understanding the function and continued maintenance of patriarchy. So we should not assume that there is unity or homogeneity among those whose views can be called radical feminist. However, a key assumption underpinning radical feminist analyses is that the word “female” denotes a biological category, referring to the class of persons capable of menstruating, ovulating, gestating, and lactating. Radical feminist analysis starts from the assumption that living in a sexed body brings with it particular experiences that are of social and political significance, and that if we are to explain and dismantle patriarchy, we need to be able to describe and understand those experiences.
For this reason, it makes little sense to describe, and still less to criticise, a radical feminist approach as “trans exclusionary”. Radical feminism seeks to make sense of the social and political reality of living in a particular type of body – a female body – and to eradicate the oppression and exploitation associated with the social relations between female-bodied people and male-bodied people. Therefore, its analysis of patriarchy as a system of sex-based oppression has little to say about the experiences of people who identify as women but do not inhabit female bodies. This is not an oversight or an illegitimate act of exclusion. It is simply not the aim or purpose of radical feminist theory to seek to analyse or explain the specific experiences of transwomen, which will, necessarily, be importantly different from those of female people. None of this is to deny that transwomen will experience marginalisation, discrimination and injustice. It is merely to note that these injustices are not rooted in biological sex, unlike the oppression of female people. Insofar as they are not, they are not intended to fall under the purview of radical feminist analysis. To criticise radical feminist analysis for being trans-exclusionary is to operate under the false assumption that the aim and purpose of radical feminism should be to explain and dismantle all forms of injustice and marginalisation, rather than to limit its focus to the sex-based oppression of female people. It is legitimate and reasonable for radical feminists to focus narrowly on analysing and dismantling sex-based oppression, and therefore criticism that their efforts do not also explain and challenge other unrelated social ills is misplaced.
Is rarely, if ever, accurately applied, even if it were a meaningful label.
Many of the people who are labelled TERFs do not meet the description of any of the words included in the phrase. The label TERF is often applied to men, to people who are not feminists of any kind, radical or otherwise, and even to anti-feminists. You can be called a TERF for believing that female and male are biological distinctions, rather than identities. Statements such as “only female people can get pregnant”, or “the penis is the male sex organ”, will frequently attract accusations that the speaker is a TERF. One need not subscribe to the analysis of sex-based oppression outlined in point 1 to be called a TERF. It is sufficient that one believes that female and male are real biological categories, and that there are genuine differences between the two that cannot be reduced to identity or feelings, to be labelled a TERF.
Furthermore, the first half of the phrase is equally ill-defined, and inaccurately applied. It is not clear what, exactly, transwomen (or transpeople more generally) are being excluded from. Many people would argue, quite reasonably, that male-bodied people who identify as women should not have an absolute and unqualified right of access to all women’s spaces, where this includes women’s prisons, refuges, or changing facilities. It does not follow from this that those people think all transwomen should be excluded from all women’s spaces, or from all feminist projects and activism. Add to this the vagueness and lack of clarity about what the word “trans” actually means, and what criteria a person has to meet to be defined as “trans”, and it becomes even more apparent that the description “trans-exclusionary” is so vague and ill-defined as to be incapable of being applied meaningfully and accurately.
Is inextricably associated with misogynistic, abusive, violent rhetoric.
The vast majority of people who use the word TERF intend it to be an insult, and apply it indiscriminately, frequently accompanied by threatening, aggressive and abusive language. Those who label women TERFs routinely threaten violence, employ misogynistic slurs and anti-lesbian rhetoric. There is no shortage of evidence of this; there is far, far more evidence of the word being used as an abusive slur, than there is of it being employed as a neutral description of a political position. Given that it is overwhelmingly used as a term of vitriol and abuse, and often accompanied by violent threats, it is not a term that anyone who wishes to be taken seriously as a credible political commentator should be using, or attempting to rehabilitate.
Furthermore, commonly invoked attempts to present it as a neutral descriptive label fall flat when it is compared with other comparable slurs. It is often said that it cannot be abusive because it is merely an acronym; however, few would suggest that the word “tranny” is not a slur, because it is merely an abbreviation. Context, intent and actual usage matter hugely, as do the perceptions of the person to whom the label is directed. Most transpeople justifiably perceive the word “tranny” to be more than just an abbreviation. It is an offensive term of abuse intended to belittle, demean and dehumanise, and as such, it is perceived as a slur by those subjected to it. Those people may or may not choose to reclaim it and refer to themselves by that term, but those who are not subjected to it have no authority to tell transpeople that they ought not to find the word offensive, or ought not to feel threatened and dehumanised by those who use it. The same considerations apply to the word ‘TERF’. No feminist, radical or otherwise, adopts the label as a description of herself or her politics. Most if not all to whom it is applied perceive it as a slur, and given its connotations, will feel threatened or belittled by it.
It is sometimes claimed that the word cannot be a slur because it was allegedly coined by self-described radical feminists who wanted to distance themselves from other radical feminists who they perceived to have the wrong politics. It’s not clear if this is true, since various trans activists have claimed that they are responsible for coining or popularising the term. But it makes little difference, since the history and etymology of the word does not determine its current usage. What matters is the context in which the word is now used and the connotations it currently has, and those are undoubtedly abusive and misogynistic.
All those who perceive themselves to have progressive politics and to be allies to women should stop using the word TERF immediately.

ABC Radio Philosopher’s Zone – Interview on Gender Identity
I recently recorded an interview with ABC Radio in Australia for their Philosopher’s Zone programme, on the topic of gender identity. We discussed the radical feminist analysis of gender, how this in tension with the view that gender is innate and essential, and the resulting conflict between feminists and gender identity activists.

L’idée que le genre s’échelonne sur un spectre est un nouvel enfermement
(Note: someone has very kindly translated my post, Gender is not a Spectrum, originally published at Aeon, into French. My high school French is exceptionally rusty, and so I cannot cannot vouch for the accuracy of the translation. But since this post has been read so many times and has clearly been useful to many people, I am posting the translation here so that French can benefit from the hard work of the translator. Merci beaucoup, Martin!)
Qu’est-ce que le genre ? Cette question touche au cœur même de la théorie et de la pratique féministe, et joue un rôle central dans des débats qui animent actuellement la militance pour la justice sociale en matière de classe, d’identité et de privilèges. Dans le langage de tous les jours, le mot « genre » est devenu synonyme de ce qu’il serait plus exact d’appeler le « sexe ». Cela reflète peut-être une vague sensiblerie à proférer un mot qui décrit également les rapports sexuels, mais le mot « genre » est maintenant utilisé comme euphémisme pour désigner le fait biologique qu’une personne est une femme ou un homme. Cela nous épargne la situation légèrement embarrassante d’avoir à invoquer, aussi indirectement que ce soit, les organes et les processus corporels qu’implique cette bifurcation.

A gender abolitionist in a non-ideal world
[I reproduce here a post I wrote wrote for a new blog run by some friends of mine. The Gender Apostates are a coalition of Women and Transwomen who believe in and are working together towards the abolition of gender. I wrote about why I believe there is nothing contradictory or hypocritical about gender critical feminists and transsexual women working together towards the goal of gender abolition. I’m proud and honoured to contribute to this project. Compromise and mutual understanding is impossible unless there can be open, good-faith, reasoned discussion about our differences and disagreements.]
It’s not an easy path to tread, being a gender apostate. As a feminist who thinks that female biology is real, that female socialization matters, but also that it is possible for male people to transition into the role of woman and therefore to live as women, I’m used to being unpopular. I’ve made my peace with the fact I’m simultaneously denounced both as a vicious exclusionary transphobe, and as a cowardly liberal quisling in thrall to men. So I’m not particularly concerned to defend myself against these claims. But I do think it’s important to explain, for those who may be in any doubt, why there is nothing inconsistent about this position I’ve arrived at, and why I believe there is nothing contradictory or hypocritical about gender critical feminists and transsexual women working together towards the goal of gender abolition.

50. We have sleepwalked into a situation where the reality of female biology is routinely denied; the lived experience and the oppression of female-bodied persons is rendered invisible and unspeakable; and women are regularly harassed, threatened and defamed as bigots for continuing to insist that female biology exists, and female biology matters. Female-only spaces are under threat, as gender identity laws are enacted in many jurisdictions, granting any person the right to enter such spaces solely on the basis of self-identification as a woman. This leads to situations such as male-bodied, male-socialised persons having a legally protected right to enter female changing rooms, and rape crisis centres coming under attack and facing legal action for refusing to employ male-bodied members of staff. Lesbian women are criticised and accused of transphobia if they refuse to consider male-bodied people who identify as women as potential sexual partners. Children whose behaviour and preferences do not conform to traditional gender norms are being referred to Gender Identity Clinics and diagnosed with gender dysphoria in increasing numbers.
51. Any person who expresses unease or discomfort about any of this will inevitably attract accusations of transphobia, as well as potential threats to livelihood and even threats of violence. Many liberal, progressive-minded people – often men – who are not fully immersed in the huge complexity of this debate are willingly participating in the labelling of women as bigots and TERFs, and are perpetuating the idea that women who insist on the need for at least some female-only spaces are just nasty bigots who need to stop being unkind to transsexual women.

Political implications, continued
39. Women and trans women have some political concerns in common. Insofar as the injustices and oppressions that trans women experience are traceable to sexism or misogyny, as many are, they have common interests with women, and both groups would benefit from working together and organising together.
40. There is also some divergence in experience. Insofar as the injustices and oppressions that trans women experience are not shared with biological females, there may be a need for them to work and organise separately. On some issues – for instance, with respect to forms of discrimination and marginalisation traceable to transphobia, rather than sexism – trans women and trans men may have more in common with one another than do trans women and biologically female women, and so may benefit from organising together.
41. Some political issues will affect biological females only. These issues are usually of paramount importance to female persons. Reproduction, contraception, female diseases: these are only really issues of concern for biologically female people, and insofar as they don’t affect trans women, who are biologically male, it may sometimes be appropriate for them to be excluded from organising on this issue.

Derry parades crisis
There have been calls for sectarian parades to be banned from Derry after an inflammatory display by a loyalist flute band led to three nights of serious disorder this week.
The incident took place during the ‘Relief of Derry’ parade by the loyalist Apprentice Boys organisation, the biggest parade of the Protestant marching season.
In the overwhelmingly nationalist city, in which the Bloody Sunday massacre by the British Army’s Parachute Regiment remains an open wound, one band from County Antrim wore the insignia of the Paras on their band uniforms.
Members of the Apprentice Boys and their supporters cheered and clapped the Clyde Valley Flute Band across the Craigavon Bridge into the heart of republican Derry. The PSNI police were seen to escort the band along the route.
The long frustrated judicial process into the Bloody Sunday massacre -- which has seen cover-ups, a bogus tribunal, and a mealy-mouted Tory apology -- has recently reached the point that a single low-ranking British soldier, ‘Soldier F’, set to face trial.
Dozens of parachute flags and banners in support of ‘Soldier F’ have been flown in unionist area in recent weeks. It was in honour of this soldier that his regiment’s insignia was paraded through Derry last weekend, just yards from where he took part in the 1972 killing spree.
A small nationalist protest during the parade went ahead, and the parade itself ended without incident. Tensions rose, however, as news of the provocation emerged. Two petrol bombs were thrown in the vicinity of the headquarters of the Apprentice Boys, while PSNI patrols also came under attack from youths throwing missiles including bricks and bottles.
Up to 40 nationalists were involved in the disorder, which continued for three nights, with a small barricade being erected and burned at Fahan Street.
Most of the trouble happened in the streets in the vicinity of the city walls, where dozens of loyalists also gathered alongside PSNI vehicles.
An agreement which has seen parades by the Apprentice Boys take place without incident in recent years is now under threat. Sinn Féin MP Elisha McCallion said the insignia displayed by the band had caused “deep anger in the city”.
“Ahead of Saturday’s parade, assurances were given that there would be no Parachute Regiment or Soldier F imagery involved but this agreement was broken,” she said.
“Subsequent Apprentice Boys denials of such an agreement do not stand up to scrutiny, and are in direct contravention of the accounts from the PSNI and the Bogside Residents Group.”
Sinn Féin said it would be raising the incident with the Parades Commission and the PSNI.
“The PSNI and the organisers must explain why, after giving an assurance that no provocative symbols would not be tolerated, this band were allowed to march on the parade,” said councillor Chris Jackson. “This is a deliberate attempt to stir up tension and to hurt the families of the Bloody Sunday victims.”
The Bloody Sunday Trust has said it will seek a meeting with the Apprentice Boys of Derry.
The chair of the Trust, Tony Doherty, said the “disgraceful display of pro-Parachute Regiment regalia” had caused unnecessary tensions and had a negative impact on community relations.
Relatives of the victims of Bloody Sunday said the band’s display caused great hurt.
“People are very angry about what happened,” said John Kelly, whose brother, Michael, was killed on Bloody Sunday.
“The way we look at it, and I’m talking about the families, and the people of Derry, we found it very, very provocative.”
The Apprentice Boys organisation only admitted that the band’s behaviour “may have caused upset”. The DUP leader Arlene Foster also saw no need for conciliation, simply noting that the band’s Para insignias were not illegal and “did not tangibly threaten a breach of the peace”.
DUP MP Gregory Campbell and his party colleagues only added to tensions when they posed for a photograph in the loyalist Fountain estate under a banner which featured the Parachute Regiment’s logo.
Danny Morrison of the Irish Republican Socialist Party said there had been “a new low” for the city. He described the loyalist display as “blatant sectarian triumphalism” and “the ultimate insult to the people in the city.”
“The organisers [of the parade] which the people of the North West accommodate each year, have a responsibility to come forward and explain why this was allowed to happen,” he said.
“Continuing to raise sectarian tensions is not in the interests of the people of Derry yet political unionism and loyalism seem intent on continuing down this path, driving a deeper wedge between community relations.”

Pastoral Opens New Retail Location and Appellation Wine Bar & Restaurant in Andersonville
by admin | Oct 29, 2015 | IN THE NEWS
Award-Winning Neighborhood Cheese, Specialty Food & Wine Shop’s Largest Location Offers Two Integrated Concepts Within One Space
Chicago (October 29, 2015) – Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine will officially open its fourth and largest retail location today, beginning at 4:00pm, at 5212 N. Clark Street in Andersonville. The 3,800 square foot space, designed by Chicago-based Moss Design, is an exciting extension of the company’s European-inspired neighborhood concept. The new location is an inviting open format, which includes a hybrid retail space and 75-seat wine bar and restaurant, named Appellation.
Lined by the building’s existing reclaimed exposed brick, the new retail space will delight guests with all the things you’ve come to expect from Pastoral – multiple interactive stations including a specialty cheese bar, gourmet accompaniments, sandwich and salad stand, and an extensive wine offering that will showcase wine at approachable price points as well as coveted benchmark or premium-priced wines. As with other Pastoral locations, the store will feature high quality, handcrafted products, including cut-to-order domestic and international specialty cheeses, charcuterie, freshly baked breads, small production wines, craft beers and spirits, custom gift baskets, and artisan catering.
The integrated space will include a slicing counter with small production charcuterie from top producers. To accent and accompany its charcuterie station, Pastoral will feature a rotating French mustard on tap from Maille, which, in the United States, is available in just two locations outside of Chicago. The first variety offered for the autumn will be “White Wine,” which guests can pour, to order, into a ceramic Maille crock. Pastoral will also carry several varieties of Maille’s premium-line jarred mustards, including Blackcurrant, Cognac, Walnut, Lemon & Harissa, as well as a premium Hazelnut oil.
Pastoral’s sandwich and salad fans will be able to place takeaway orders throughout the day in a separate to-go area, making it the premier gourmet lunch destination in Andersonville. The company’s much-loved bread offerings, sourced from La Fournette Bakery & Café and Cook au Vin, will be sold in the retail space and will be used in Pastoral’s sandwich menu. Later in November, Pastoral will begin serving a daily counter service breakfast that will include quiche, Counter Culture coffee and espresso, pastries from an exclusive partnership with Evanston’s Hewn, and more.
In a nod to Andersonville’s Swedish heritage, the retail area will offer traditional Swedish delicacies that the neighborhood has come to appreciate from renowned, but now closed, retailers such as Erikson’s Delicatessen and Wikstrom’s Gourmet. Pastoral will carry delicacies from the latter founder’s daughter, Marie Wikstrom, such as beloved cheeses, summer sausages, pickled herring and homemade lingonberry-cherry jam, which has been an Andersonville staple for generations.
The intimate environment allows for Pastoral’s knowledgeable team to provide attentive and thoughtful service as patrons browse the European-inspired shop and order cheese and artisan foods and beverages to stay or take away. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the full space throughout the day, which offers multiple seating options, including a cheese bar and custom-crafted wine bar, which unites retail and restaurant, an ideal spot for people-watching over wine and bar bites in the evening.
Introducing Appellation Wine Bar & Restaurant
An extension of the Pastoral retail store, Appellation will offer guests a simple but amazing approach to food and wine with a sense of place, in a warm, inviting space. The restaurant’s name and menu inspires guests to appreciate the place of origin for each ingredient and wine pairing, as well as the farmers and producers with whom Pastoral has built great relationships over time.
Chef Jesse Williams, former head chef of Birchwood Kitchen and Lula Café veteran who trained under Jason Hammel and attended the Culinary Institute of America,
will preside over the full-service kitchen through a straightforward and simply delicious brunch and dinner program. Chef Jesse, a former Pastoral cheesemonger, debuts Appellation’s inaugural dinner menu featuring a range of rustic and creative cuisine using high-quality ingredients that often highlight the notable cheeses Pastoral has championed for more than 10 years. In addition to composed cheese plates and homemade charcuterie, the menu includes Black Dog Gelato for dessert, and many signature dishes, such as:
Egg noodles with milk braised pork shoulder ragu, carrots, leeks, fennel, olives;
Roasted chicken thigh, mustard vinegar sauce, cornichons, cippolini, raclette mashed potatoes;
Dill ricotta gnudi with preserved lemon, beets, hazelnuts, butter, pantaleo;
Patty melt with smoked onion confit, Swedish cheese, miche, frites
Guests dining at the chef’s table in front of the kitchen will get a glimpse of Chef Jesse and her team’s chemistry and artistry. Later in November, Appellation will also begin serving weekend brunch.
Andersonville’s Wine Destination
Paralleling Appellation’s creative, rustic menu is Pastoral’s exquisite wine program, developed by head Wine Buyer, Mark Wrobel (formerly of In Fine Spirits Lounge in Andersonville). The wine bar, which will offer 20 wines by the glass, will broaden
Pastoral’s approach to wine by featuring a rotating selection of rare and exclusive vintages by the glass and on tap, including Mawby’s Cuvée Pastoral. Like its other locations, the Andersonville location will focus on a distinct type of wine each month, such as American wines (October), Benchmark wines (November), and Sparkling wines (December), and will offer flights to explore and celebrate each category.
Many wines sold at retail will also be available for order at Appellation at approachable prices, from traditional regions with classic and up-and-coming producers. Pastoral’s complete wine collection – containing approximately 200 varieties – will focus on great-tasting, small production, family-owned vineyards that are either organic, and/or use sustainable production processes. Pastoral will also feature well-paired craft cocktails and beers.
The dining area was designed with reclaimed materials including French-inspired ceiling-beams, beautifully appointed installations, wine labels etched into the tabletops, and wall-lined banquettes. The front section of the restaurant features full-sized windows that open up to Clark Street and telescoping barnyard-door partitions, which allow the space to also serve as an intimate setting for private parties. A vintage wine press, reclaimed from the basement of Di Bruno Brothers gourmet retailers in Philadelphia, and crafted into a chandelier by renowned lighting artist Ted Harris, shines from above the chef’s table. An eye-catching antique milk and cream can chandelier also hangs in the store’s front window. The dining area also will feature unique and inspired works from local artists, which will rotate seasonally and are offered for sale. Adam Thomas, a highly celebrated local oil painter known for his vibrant abstracts and realistic renditions of landscapes and animals, will be the first artist to display his dramatic clouds exhibit. The current exhibit will be featured through the holidays.
“We couldn’t be more excited or proud to unveil this unique retail location, complete with a wine bar and restaurant, to the vibrant Andersonville community,” said Greg O’Neill, co-owner/co-founder of Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine. “With two exciting concepts under one roof, we look forward to welcoming guests to this new neighborhood European-style breakfast, gourmet lunch, dinner, and wine destination that will make shopping for and enjoying artisan food and wine enlightening, approachable, fun and delicious.”
Pastoral will be open Monday through Saturday from 11:00am – 9:00pm and Sunday from 11:00am – 6:00pm. Morning counter service of European style breakfast will commence in mid-November.
Appellation will offer Bar Bites beginning at 4:00pm each day and dinner seven days a week commencing at 5:00 p.m. each. On Sunday – Thursday, dinner will be served until 10:00 p.m., and until 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The wine bar will close at midnight Monday – Thursday, 1:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11:00 p.m. on Sunday. Saturday and Sunday brunch service will commence in mid November.

Angel’s Envy Will Plant 4,000 White Oak Trees Following Successful “Toast the Trees” Initiative
Louisville, Kentucky (October 26, 2015) – Louisville Distilling Co. LLC, producers of the award-winning Angel’s Envy super-premium bourbon finished in port wine barrels, will partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 4,000 white oak trees next spring as a result of the wildly successful “Toast the Trees” social media initiative this past September. The $16,000 donation will be used to restore the original composition of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Laurel County, Kentucky, and to make the site more productive for wildlife.
Through “Toast the Trees,” Angel’s Envy is taking a long-term approach to supporting future generations of bourbon drinkers today. The super-premium brand is committed to helping make sure that there is always enough American white oak for the cooperages and bourbon distilleries of tomorrow to continue to age in new charred oak barrels. Therefore, Angel’s Envy promised to plant one new white oak tree in North America for every picture bourbon enthusiasts took of an Angel’s Envy cocktail in September – neat, on-the-rocks or in a cocktail. Participants simply had to post their picture to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #AE4THETREES. During the month of September, the brand recorded nearly 4,000 social media posts. The team also successfully executed 257 on-premise promotions across the country and sold 5,751 Angel’s Envy cocktails – more than twice as many during the 2014 initiative.
“We were so thrilled by the engagement and participation in this year’s #AE4theTrees campaign that we increased our donation by $6,000,” said Samira Seiller, Managing Director of Louisville Distilling Company. “We look forward to planting 4,000 American White Oaks in the brand’s home state of Kentucky.”
“Thanks to Angel’s Envy commitment, we will be able to plant much-needed trees in support of our ongoing reforestation efforts,” said Dan Lambe, President of the Arbor Day Foundation. “These trees will be planted in April to help clean the air and restore habitat and beauty to forests.”
Angel’s Envy is the culmination of the late Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s storied career. One of the original pioneers of the premium bourbon and whiskey
categories in the U.S., Lincoln created the Angel’s Envy on his own terms – with a simple desire to enjoy the art of making whiskey. The late Master Distiller, who was an inaugural member of the Bourbon Hall of Fame also spent 40 years of working on world-class brands, such as Woodford Reserve and Jack Daniels.
In addition to the flagship bourbon finished in port wine barrels, the Company offers Angel’s Envy Cask Strength and Angel’s Envy Rye finished in rum barrels. Each Expression exhibits Lincoln’s passion for experimenting outside of conventional norms and producing unique whiskey steeped in tradition, but finished with a twist.
Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels, distilled for an unparalleled smoothness, aged for 4-6 years in American white oak barrels and finished in hand-selected port casks for an incremental 3-6 months. Now available nationally, the expression earned a 98/100 points from Wine Enthusiast magazine – the highest-ever rating for a bourbon – and five stars (highest recommendation) from F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal.
Cask Strength, aged to the perfect level of richness and maturity in the few American white oak barrels that made the cut (and are available each year) and then finished in Port casks for up to 18 months. Due to the scarcity of barrels necessary for the finishing process, Angel’s Envy only released 6,500 bottles in late 2014. Paul Pacult of Spirit Journal named the Cask Strength “Best Spirit in the World,” giving it five stars and noting it “deserves a sixth rating star.” Available in: CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MA, MI, NJ, NY, OR, TN, TX & WA for the suggested retail price (750ml bottle) of $169.
Rye Finished in Rum Barrels, made with 95% rye and 5% malted barley that’s aged for as much as six years in new American, charred oak barrels and finished in hand-selected Caribbean rum casks for up to 18 months. Both The Tasting Panel and Wine Enthusiast magazines awarded Angel’s Envy Rye Finished in Rum Barrels with 94/100 points. Available for the suggested retail price (750ml bottle) of $69.99.

Pastoral Shines A Spotlight on Domestic Producers During 5th Annual American Cheese Month
by admin | Oct 1, 2015 | IN THE NEWS
Chicago’s Hometown Cheese Shop Since 2003 Will Celebrate With A Special Cheesemaker Dinner, Medley & More This October
Chicago (October 1, 2015) – Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine, in partnership with the American Cheese Society, is proud to celebrate American Cheese Month this October. The national event, now in its fifth year, honors the talented families, cheesemakers, and producers, along with their handcrafted American artisan cheeses. Throughout the month, Pastoral will highlight four American cheeses with an exclusive dinner, special cheese plate and gift medley, expertly paired American wines, and in-store tastings.
The month’s highlight, a Cheesemaker Dinner at Bar Pastoral, will take place on Sunday, October 18 at the Michelin-recommended bistro in Lakeview. The restaurant, which serves sharable dishes in a cozy, inviting, neighborhood setting, will host a ticketed dinner event in honor of Meadowood Farms’ Victoria Pedraza. Chef Jeffrey Parkin has created an elegant menu focusing on Pedraza’s artisan cheeses, which are seasonably crafted on a 225-acre farm from a flock of pasture-raised sheep. Tickets can be purchased in advance at pastoralartisan.com for $65, or $80 with wine pairing. Tax and gratuity is included.
“While the artisan cheese movement continues to thrive on the world stage, we enjoy calling attention to all of the inspiring American producers who are devoted to perfecting the craft at home year after year,” said Greg O’Neill, co-owner/co-founder of Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine and past chair of the American Cheese Society. “This year, we’re proud to feature both established cheesemakers and two exciting upstarts – such as Victoria Pedraza – to celebrate industry leaders as well as the creative innovators that are taking the American cheese industry to exciting new places.”
Pastoral has selected four award-winning cheeses to feature during American Cheese Month, representing the four major cheesemaking regions in the United States: the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West:
Meadowood Farms’ “Lorenzo,” Cazenovia, New York Owner/Cheesemaker: Veronica Pedraza
Lorenzo is an alpine-style sheep’s milk cheese similar to Raclette from Switzerland. The rind is washed with freshly pressed cider from Critz Farms
(Cazenovia, NY). Pedraza, a talented up-and-coming cheesemaker who has quickly wowed the cheese community, ages the cheese for four months. Lorenzo is savory, vegetal and nutty, and perfect for melting in a sandwich or over vegetables.
Boxcarr Handmade Cheese’s “Rosie’s Robiola,” Cedar Grove, North Carolina Owners: Austin Genke, Dani Genke, Samantha Genke
This innovative, Italian-inspired Robiola (soft cheese made from a blend of milks) with clean, dry rind and a luscious, silky interior never fails to impress. The Gengkes’ new approach to cheesemaking uses rich milk sourced from Jersey and Holstein cows on a neighboring farm.
Car Valley Cheese’s “Billy Blue,” La Valle, Wisconsin Owner/Cheesemaker: Sid Cook
Made from the milk of pasture-grazed Wisconsin goats and aged for four months this award-winning bleu cheese is neither mild nor overbearing. It also took the first place award at the 2014 American Cheese Society awards. This cheese, made by industry trailblazer Sid Cook, is incredibly distinctive as goat cheese, especially with its delightfully creamy texture.
Vella Cheese Company’s “Dry Jack,” Sonoma, California Owners/Cheesemakers: The Vella Family
The Original American Artisan Cheese! This cheese is the stuff of legends, much like its classic, established originator Ignacio Vella. Aged to replicate the grating cheeses of Italy, this Jack is fruity, sharp and full of spirit.
The four featured cheeses will be showcased in a variety of ways, including Pastoral’s “American Cheese Month Medley,” which retails for $64.99, includes cuts of the four featured cheeses, along with a single-source honey from Ames Farm in Wisconsin. The medley is artfully arranged inside a Pastoral Medley Craft Box, and includes information about the contents and each featured producer. A portion of the proceeds of this medley will be donated to the Daphne Zepos Teaching Foundation, which is committed to providing scholarships for cheese education. In addition, Pastoral will showcase a diverse collection of American-produced wines that are expertly paired with the featured cheeses.
Bar Pastoral will add an “American Cheese Month” specialty plate to its rustic fall menu in October. The plate, $20, will include one piece of each of the four featured cheeses, along with various accompaniments.
For more information on American Cheese Month, including a schedule of in-store demonstrations and tastings, please visit pastoralartisan.com or call Pastoral at 800.721.4781.

Pure Filth From Leeds United as Baffled Stoke City get Taken to the Cleaners – by Rob Atkinson
Sometimes, only the argot of the young and clued-up will do when you’re trying to sum-up something extraordinary that has you rooting around for appropriate metaphors.

Gary Neville Has Successfully Forgotten 2010, Leeds and the Beckford End – by Rob Atkinson
Gary Neville, part owner of League newcomers Salford City FC, has reacted instantly to his team’s Carabao Cup first round home draw against Leeds United. Neville, third in his own family in the coaching stakes, tweeted “Welcome back into my life Leeds United, it’s been 15 years”. Clearly, the stress of club part ownership – or maybe his regular spats with fellow Sky pundit Jamie Carragher – has taken its toll on poor Gary’s grey matter and memory, as it was a mere nine years ago that third tier Leeds went to Old Trafford to face Champions Man U in the FA Cup third round. United made history by beating their old rivals 1-0 that day, with the home team including one G. Neville who could only look on as our Jermaine slotted home the winner in front of the Beckford End. Perhaps Gary has just been trying to forget…
It’s not the first gaffe that has come back to haunt Neville. He is on record as saying that no decent manager should ever lose 7-0. Naturally, he then proceeded to lose by precisely that score as rookie manager of Valencia, something that must have been hard to swallow even for one with as big a cakehole as our old friend Gary. Apparently, he was too speechless with shock to protest his subsequent, ignominious sacking.
Still, we’ll take his welcome back tweet as cordially intended if not factually accurate. The tables will be turned from that famous January 3rd cup shock in 2010, in that Leeds will be two leagues above their opponents, rather than two leagues below. It should be quite an occasion, anyway – maybe yet another live TV appearance for Leeds, and certainly an early highlight in the League career of Salford. Let’s hope that Gary Neville enjoys this one just as much as that other cup tie which he seems to have forgotten all about.
Welcome back into our lives, Mr. Neville. It’s been NINE years…

Could Likely Man U Signing Daniel James Still Move to Leeds United? – by Rob Atkinson
Posted on 01/06/2019 | 15 comments
Daniel James of Leeds United – could it yet happen?
Swansea City‘s big discovery of the season just gone was undoubtedly Daniel James who swiftly made a name for himself with a series of scorching performances for the Welsh side. His sheer pace was the most notable part of James’ game, but there was some vision too, and an eye for goal. All of this led to James coming within an ace of signing for Leeds United as the January window closed, only for a Swansea official to get cold feet and hide under a table instead of completing the deal.
Since that time, James has been touted as the one who got away, as far as Leeds were concerned – and now he appears to be on the point of a move to Manchester, to play for that city’s junior club. But could things take yet one more twist, with Daniel James appearing in a Leeds United shirt next season after all?
On the face of it, the lad has secured himself a glamour move to a club that used to be among the honours on a regular basis, and you can’t blame a player for snapping up the chance of a Premier League berth. But whether it’s a good career decision for the player himself has to be a moot point, with many a youngster having gone there and then dropped right off the radar. Daniel James carved himself a reputation as a fine Championship player last season. His quality is such that you could easily see himself making an impression as a mid to lower table Premier League performer. But with a move to Old Trafford, James would possibly be looking to cut it in the top half of the EPL – is he really at that level yet?
On the other hand, clubs like Man U frequently sign players like James only to loan them out to continue their football education. This must be a possible path for young James next season, and – if that proves to be the case – then Leeds United should be at the head of the queue for his loan-basis services. It’d make sense for both clubs, and the player too, whatever reservations fans on either side of the Pennines might have. This is how football works these days, with plenty of “mutual benefit” deals being done.
So, could Daniel James yet be ripping up the Championship in a Leeds United shirt next season, as he did for Swansea over the past nine months? It’s got to be a possibility. If James does complete his move to the red quarter of Manchester, don’t be surprised to see a season long loan move to Elland Road materialise shortly thereafter. Many stranger things have happened.

Leeds Suffering From Terrible Penalty Calls, Even When They’re Not Involved – by Rob Atkinson
A brief and testy update tonight, having sat through West Brom against Nottingham Forest, where the result to suit our particular requirements as Leeds United fans would have been a Forest victory.
It looked as though that was how it was going, too – and then referee Lee Mason took control, with two late and palpably awful penalty decisions, both going against Forest and, by extension, Leeds.
With the West Brom trailing 2-1, exactly as per our ideal scenario, the Baggies’ Dwight Gayle found a Forest limb to dive over just inside the area, and Mason obliged with the whistle for a spot kick. It was a blatant dive, and if there’s any justice (which we know there isn’t) – Gayle will get a retrospective ban IF the Football League ever emerge from their Spygate enclave and examine the incident.
So, it’s 2-2, which isn’t that bad. But Forest should still have won, when their attacker Lolley had his shirt almost pulled off as he made his way into the Albion penalty area. Lee Mason, though, failed to see the blindingly obvious, and Leeds missed out on the ideal result of a West Brom defeat.
Call me paranoid – of course I am, I’ve been a Leeds fan for 44 years – but it does seem to me that these incidents, even in games between third parties, hardly ever favour Leeds. And really, we could do with the odd penalty decision in other games going our way – because it’s now one penalty awarded to Leeds in around 70 games, which is pretty meagre fare.
Ho hum. Onwards and hopefully upwards. And at least the Pride of Devon lost, which is always, always nice.

Media Moving on from Spygate for Concerted Effort to Sell Leeds Star Jack Clarke – by Rob Atkinson
Leeds United’s Jack Clarke – the poise of the matador
The UK sports media don’t like Leeds United to have nice things. The recent embarrassing emphasis on so-called “Spygate” – the sensational exposé of a man in a tracksuit on a public highway by a wire fence, failing to avert his eyes from the spectacle of some footballers training in plain sight – was of course intended to derail the United promotion bandwagon, but Leeds have still won eight of the last eleven and are clear at the the top. All the hacks have accomplished really is to emphasise their own essential silliness. So – what to do?
Well, it’s transfer window time and, for your average grubby hack with a Leeds-hating readership to satisfy, what better opportunity for the talking up of the latest United wonderkid in the hope of provoking an auction? Such seems to be the mindset of the gutter end of the media right now, not excluding our good friends at Sky, who are positively schizo over Leeds United, simultaneously hating and capitalising on Yorkshire’s number one football club. The current focus is on United’s Jack Clarke, a young wing wizard with that touch of genius about him. The hacks have seen this divine spark, have noted it well – and are determined to bring about his departure from Elland Road at the earliest opportunity.
The stories have cropped up thick and fast – mostly the former, it has to be said – over the past few days. One mischievous rag, conscious of Leeds fans’ lack of regard for Devon’s Finest, have even linked him with Manchester’s second biggest club. Perhaps they feel young Jack would prosper under what they’re selling as the Norwegian reincarnation of Matt Busby, clearly a better mentor than some Argie who sits on a bucket.
Sky were in on the act today as well, playing tempting clips of young Clarke bamboozling full-backs and sticking the ball in the net. It’s all designed to whip up interest from one or other of their favoured clubs because, alas, so far the only enquiries seem to have been joke ones, from the likes of Crystal Palace and Southampton – hardly the stuff of a young winger’s dreams. Meanwhile, Jack is thriving at Leeds, in and around the first team, contributing solidly to the promotion push, and with the alluring prospect of a fat new contract and maybe a Championship winner’s medal in the offing. For those who wish Leeds ill, namely just about everyone who doesn’t bleed yellow blue and white, these are not good feelings.
Let’s be honest, Jack Clarke at 18 looks to be the real deal. He has that matador’s poise, the ability to play a bewildered defender into hopeless confusion and ultimate defeat. Only the other day, he destroyed the opposing Derby County full-back, who was promptly dispatched to Aberdeen with twisted blood, there to reflect and convalesce, having been replaced at Derby by a pensioner. Clarke has the nascent promise of a youthful Stan Matthews – there’s no deep, dark secret as to how he beats his man. He dances for a moment, in possession of the ball – will the defender sell himself, or just back off, quivering? Then – a drop of the shoulder, a change of pace, and Jack is gone, leaving his man in a crumpled heap, arrowing a deadly ball into the box, and Roofe is there to snap up the chance. Or maybe Clarke swerves back on his path into the box, and curls the ball inside the far post. You just don’t know, although that initial beating of the full back, that’s an open secret. You know how he’ll do that. But, as with Stan Matthews, stopping it is another matter entirely. The media knows all this, and they’re agreed: Clarke must go from Leeds.
But anyone who knows the game will know that Jack Clarke is in the best place he could be, especially at this time of his fledgling career. Quite apart from the material and competitive career rewards dangling in front of him, he’s working with the best coach in Marcelo Bielsa that he could possibly wish for, and in a team that might have been set up specifically to showcase his devastating talent. At eighteen, Clarke needs to be protected from the predatory and kept close to the nurturing influence from which he’s currently benefiting. Jack has the role models right now, in the coaching set up and alongside him in the team, that will give his genius the best chance of emerging in full bloom. To dump him into a so-called “elite” development squad would be to risk seeing that potential stifled, instead of being honed, as it is now, under Bielsa and alongside the likes of Pablo Hernandez.
Leeds United themselves, thankfully, seem to have become a lot more selective in terms of both squad augmentation and pruning. The development squad is being enhanced with a succession of quality additions, and the progression from there to first team level is a clear path. United also recognise and reward the diamonds yielded by this rich seam, polishing some for display on a grand stage, profiting from others judiciously, with the dividend being ploughed back. It’s a policy designed to reap ever richer harvests in the near future – showing that this is a club at long last on the right track. We can safely assume that United will no longer accept derisory offers from smaller clubs for a short term profit that denies them progress and a longer term bounty.
If I’m correct about all that, then – all media hue, cry and desperation notwithstanding – young Jack Clarke will remain exactly he is, shining and dazzling on either wing, tormenting opposing defences with his prodigious, precocious talent, in the colours of Leeds United, settled and happy on the brink of a sensational career. Which is exactly what we would all of us wish and hope for.

Would VAR Get Man United Relegated and Leeds United Promoted? – by Rob Atkinson
Referees just love Leeds United
I’ve never really been in favour of the intrusion of modern technology into professional football. I was generally supportive of the view that the game needs its bits of controversy, things to talk about and argue over in the pub or, as years went on, via social media. And that, ideally, the game at its elite level should stay as close as possible in its essential character to the thud and blunder affairs fought out on parks pitches every Sunday morning.
But the old maxim of “the referee’s decision is final” has started to wear a bit thin, as with that other cliche “these things tend to even themselves out”. We were always asked to believe that, yes, referees made mistakes alright, but that they were honest mistakes, human errors. We were told that, over time, all clubs would get roughly the same amount of good and bad decisions, and that, ultimately, ability and fitness would be the decisive factors. And for a long time, many of us would believe these fables, we’d even repeat them to each other, wanting our beloved game to be straight.
The worm of doubt for Leeds United fans crawled out of the bad apples among the refereeing fraternity as far back as the sixties. I’ve written an article on this blog about the very worst decisions my club has been on the wrong end of – even limiting myself to the truly appalling travesties of justice, it it could have been a much longer list, space permitting. Leeds fans started giving wry smiles when referees were defended as honest Joes who were bound to make the odd mistake. We knew better, out of bitter experience. We knew exactly who would get the breaks and the dodgy calls, and we knew just as well that it wouldn’t be us.
The situation has never really improved for Leeds as far as getting a fair go from referees and the game in general is concerned. As I write, it’s 58 games since we last got a penalty kick awarded, during which time ten have been given against us, including some proper howlers. You get used to it, you come to expect it, but naturally, you never really accept it as your lot. I well remember Thomas Christiansen‘s ashen face after one match early last season; he was unable to credit what he’d seen with his own eyes, and I just thought, welcome to Leeds, mate – welcome to our world.
Things are different for other teams, of course, and it goes without saying that life at the non-crappy end of the stick is best exemplified by Manchester United, or the Pride of Devon, as I fondly refer to them. Their long penalty runs are matches without conceding one; it’s frequently said that nothing short of the cynical murder of an opposition player in their own penalty box will lead to a spot kick being awarded against them. One referee from the nineties, Graham Poll, frankly admitted that the best a ref could hope for when taking a Man U game during the tyrannic reign of Alex Ferguson, was to get the thing over, with as little controversy as possible, and ideally with Man U having won. That’s a mindset which must have yielded many victories in a game of fine margins; Man U were the beneficiaries of intimidated referees who wanted to avoid the Fergie treatment in the press, with a subsequent blacklisting from big matches.
This was a situation that applied throughout the Ferguson reign at Old Trafford, a period in which there was really no excuse for Man U failing to win the league in any one year. With everything in their failure, and the media vicariously lapping up the glory, Man U went from strength to strength. The learning curve their players were on under Ferguson was more than simply curved – it was totally bent.
But now, Fergie is long gone, and the major silverware eludes Manchester’s second-best football club. And yet still the “controversial” decisions accrue in their favour. Last night’s home game against Arsenal demonstrated both manifestations of the modern game; the old fashioned “lino’s call” for offside which resulted in Man U’s first goal, and the beginnings of modern technology ensuring that a goal stood which you would never see given against Man U in the days when eyesight alone judged whether the ball was over the line. Goal line technology, for a side that have seen so many narrow decisions go in their favour, is bad news for Man U. How much worse for them will it get when the video assistant referee (VAR) comes in for the Premier League next season, presumably taking away from the hapless Red Devils the marginal decisions they invariably get now?
It’ll be interesting to see what actually happens. My theory is that a club which has always suffered under the naked eye method of making decisions will be bound to do better when such a fallible system is superseded by state of the art cameras. And, equally, clubs that have always tended to get the rub of the green under “human error” will find themselves suffering disproportionately as those errors start to vanish from the game.
Could such a revolution actually result in the previously favoured club losing their exalted status, while the erstwhile pariahs come to the fore? Well, that’s probably just my over-active tendency towards wishful thinking. Still, it would be vastly entertaining and deeply satisfactory, if it ever came to pass. But the whole culture of the game and its supporting media is ranged against anything so unthinkable. During the Man U v Arsenal game last night, BT Sport‘s resident ex-referee “expert” Phil Dowd acknowledged that Man U’s first goal was narrowly offside. “But it was so close,” he demurred, “it would have been very harsh to give it. So, good goal.” That type of Man U-centric thinking still takes my breath away, even after decades of hearing stuff just like it. And it makes me think that, technology notwithstanding, the Old Trafford team will probably still be getting that annoying rub of the green for some time to come.
That’s not really any of my concern, though I’d like to think it vexes a few of you out there just as it does me. But my priority is Leeds United, and – eventually – we’re going to be playing our games under the electronic eye of VAR. And maybe then, if not before, we might actually get the odd penalty, or at least not have so many utterly crap ones given against us. And, if that proves to be the case, then I’ll happily declare myself a convert to this new technological approach. After all – who can afford to go down to the pub for an argument these days?

Leeds are the Damned United, but Man U Takes Award for Sickest Fans – by Rob Atkinson
In the wake of the tragic helicopter crash at Leicester’s King Power Stadium last night, and with the sad likelihood that we shall shortly hear confirmation of lives lost, there has been much talk of the phenomenon of the “Football Family”, as fans of many clubs have rallied around to support Leicester City Football Club and its supporters at a very dark time.
All that is as it should be, and a respectful, reverent reaction has been almost universal. I say “almost”, because there are generally a few degraded exceptions, and those exceptions are almost always to be found among the usual suspects representing football’s least lovable “fans”. It will surprise few who are aware of their history that, on this occasion, it’s an identifiable group of Manchester United fans, the producers of a toilet roll of a fanzine known as Red Issue, who have plumbed the depths of poor taste as only they can.
This purulent rag has form going back years for the penning and publication of articles and “jokes” that take the breath away with their sheer, savage detestability. Emboldened by that curiously puzzling Manc sense of entitlement and by unjustified self-righteousness, they have disgraced themselves many a time, heaping shame and derision upon a club rarely short of that commodity. I well recall a photograph they published while Eric Cantona was at Leeds, of the Frenchman in the bath with his young daughter, accompanying the image with a caption designed to encourage their leering readers to conclude that Cantona was a paedophile. There was also a chant sung at Man U matches expressly accusing Arsène Wenger of the self same thing. In brief, these are awful, awful people with no redeeming qualities.
But they’ve outdone themselves this time, as can be seen from the disgusting tweets reproduced above, in the immediate aftermath of a football tragedy that has shocked the whole sporting world. It takes a person with his soul deeply rooted in the foulest slime at the bottom of the sewer to even think of such a thing, let alone share it with the world. But that’s Red Issue for you – the lowest of the low, even in the context of Man U fans.
But of course, it’s Leeds who are dubbed the Damned United, which is a sad indictment of people’s judgement for you. Luckily, although Leeds fans do not find halos sitting easily atop their heads, we’re in a different category entirely from the kind of filth they attract in Salford. Even Millwall fans have more to recommend them, having contributed generously to a fighting fund for young cancer sufferer Toby Nye. There is no such softer side to the arrogant, entitled and thoroughly disgusting fans of Manchester’s second club.
If I sound angry, it’s because I am. I’m sick of the media fawning that surrounds a club which embodies everything bad about the game. I’m sick of the way everyone panders to them because of their commercial clout, ignoring the many foul and detestable aspects of a club and set of supporters who feel they can do and say what they like. The media seeks to protect its own interests and preserve lucrative markets, which means they will always go easy on Man U.
As I write, they lead Everton courtesy of yet another blatantly unfair penalty award, reminding me that my own United have now gone 53 league games without even obvious penalties being given. That sums up the disparity of treatment, and maybe it’s an insight into why Man U fans such as the sickos behind Red Issue feel that they have the right to continue outraging any sense of decency.
This year, as every other year, Man U fans will collectively take out an onion to wallow in commercially advantageous grief over the Munich air crash sixty years ago. They will demand respect and empathy, despite the fact that – as you can see above – they have none for anybody else. But they think they’re a special case, and that they should be treated as such. Most of them will never have heard of AC Torino‘s even more tragic and devastating Superga crash, about which I’ve written before. Add “blinkered” to “disgusting”, then.
Man U fans feel that they are a breed apart. And they really are. Just not in the way they would like to think.

Leeds Should Pull Out All Stops to Sign Haaland Jr. Ahead of Man Utd – by Rob Atkinson
Erling Braut Haaland, the 17 year old son of former Elland Road favourite Alf-Inge Haaland, is shaping up as quite the boy wonder in Norway’s top flight. His latest exploit is to score four goals for Molde in the opening 21 minutes of an away fixture at league leaders Brann. Interestingly, young Erling is a fanatical fan of Leeds United, whose declared dream is to play for the Whites in the Champions League.
Worryingly, though, it might just be that Haaland Junior’s European fantasy could be played out via a short cut with that lesser United from over the hills. Manchester’s second club had scouts at the Brann – Molde game, and the whisper is that covetous eyes are watching from the Theatre of Hollow Myths, with Alfi’s son having impressed the talent spotters at the Pride of Devon.
We must hope that our old favourite Alf-Inge would not allow anything so unsavoury as his son signing for Them to happen. Alfi will surely have vivid memories of being assaulted by faux hard-man Royston Keane at Old Toilet, and of the career threatening injury he sustained in that cowardly assault. This alone should persuade Haaland senior to advise his lad to steer well clear of Salford.
And, on the positive side, the young star’s development would definitely be assisted by a spell with Marcelo Bielsa, the man Pep Guardiola hails as the best coach in the world. That’s the kind of upbringing any boy wonder should be looking for – naturally, though, there would first have to be some interest from Leeds United.
But why would there not be interest? Already, Erling is being spoken of as “better than his dad”, who, we will recall, was no mean player himself. What we have here is a situation begging for the only natural outcome, which would be the boy Haaland signing for his dad’s old club Leeds. Especially as Erling is such a fan. It’s the perfect match.
Come on, Mr Radrizzani – let’s get the lad signed and snatch him from the dark forces gathering around him. You know it makes sense.

Happy Birthday Johnny Giles, the Greatest Manager Leeds Never Had – by Rob Atkinson
Johnny Giles – the Brains
Another day, another birthday celebration for a United legend. This time it’s Johnny Giles, 75 today and famously one half of the best central midfield partnership of the last century. If Billy Bremner was the heart of Don Revie’s peerless team of stars, then surely John Giles was the brains and the vision, dictating and switching play, spraying passes all over the park with laser-guided accuracy and combining with Bremner in a way that many described as “telepathic”.
Johnny Giles was recruited by the wily Don Revie from under the nose of the great Matt Busby at Man U. He had shown his quality there, despite never really being played in the position where he could best influence matters on the field. Even at Leeds, his transformation from good winger to great schemer came about almost by accident, injury to the existing midfield general Bobby Collins influencing Revie’s thinking. Man U’s loss though was most definitely Leeds United’s gain over more than a decade as they rose to the top. Don Revie referred to his capture of Giles from Man U for a mere £33,000 as “robbery with violence”. Busby called it simply “my greatest mistake”.
Giles brought so much to Leeds United that it’s difficult to find the space to describe his impact. Put in on-field control of the play, he pulled strings and evolved strategy as each game progressed. His range of passing was legendary – TV commentators used to admire his latest pinpoint delivery by comparing it to the appropriate golf shot (that was the six iron). His ability on the ball, whether passing or shooting, was well-known and much admired; Gilesy was the acknowledged master.
What was often overlooked by the uninitiated was his steely efficiency in looking after himself in the warlike atmosphere of combat at home and abroad. Peter Lorimer tells the story of how Giles inflicted summary justice on a Turkish player who had persistently fouled him in the away leg of a European tie, and was then daft enough to crow in his face at the final whistle. John was miffed, and advised the Turk that he would see him in a fortnight at Elland Road. This was no idle threat.
Two weeks later, Giles asked Norman Hunter to drop the game’s first pass a couple of yards short – what is known as the “suicide ball” in football circles. Norman did as he was asked, the Turk eagerly jumped in to dispute possession – and Giles pounced, leaving his foot in to reduce his tormentor of the previous game to a grievously-injured heap, swiftly off on an urgent journey to the nearest hospital.
After the game, there was some puzzlement over how promptly the ambulance had arrived to assist Giles’ victim. The Elland Road switchboard operative swore blind that Giles had booked it for him before kick-off, something Johnny always denies. But the message was stark: mess with Giles or any other Leeds player at your peril. They looked after themselves and each other, and the bond thus forged endures to this day.
When Don Revie left for the England job, it was an open secret that he had nominated John Giles as his successor. The board were set fair to act on this recommendation, before backing down for fear, it is said, of upsetting Billy Bremner. It was an appointment that clearly should have been made, to ensure the kind of continuity Liverpool enjoyed after Bill Shankly stepped down. Who knows what the subsequent history of the club might have been? Giles had already had managerial experience with the Republic of Ireland and he went on to great success with the revival of West Bromwich Albion. In the event, he played on at Leeds for one more season under Brian Clough and then Jimmy Armfield. His last game for United should have crowned a glorious career with the top honour in club football. Sadly, thanks to the atrociously crooked display of referee Michel Kitabdjian for the 1975 European Cup Final in Paris, this was not to be.
Johnny Giles went on to enjoy a successful career after Leeds United, both as a manager and later in the media, where his eloquence and vast knowledge of the game served him well and earned him enormous respect in his native Ireland and further afield. He has gone down in Leeds United history as one of the true legends of the club – a great among greats. In terms of value transfers for Leeds, he has to be the top capture, despite the rival claims of Bobby Collins, Lucas Radebe and Gordon Strachan. It was a thief’s bargain, possibly the buy of the century.
Thanks for the memories, Johnny Giles, and a very happy birthday indeed.

Sunderland v Newcastle Rivalry Not in Same League as Leeds Against Man U – by Rob Atkinson
Hate Man Utd – We Only Hate Man Utd
Football rivalry – the antipathy between fans of rival clubs with a keen edge of hatred in extreme cases – has been going on for as long as two teams of eleven players have gathered together to dispute possession of an inflated bladder over a green sward. And I will proudly say here and now: Leeds United is an extreme case. We are top four material when it comes to despising our foes. But we like to think we’re quite picky about it. None of this “regional rivalry” nonsense for us.
Let’s face it, hating another team and its supporters for mere reasons of geographical proximity is pretty silly. I can understand it to a certain extent where two clubs share a very small area, like a town or adjacent districts of a city. There’s a territorial thing going on there that recalls the days when a team’s support was derived largely from its immediate locality, though that’s not really the case any more now with the mega clubs who have fans all over the world. After all, why would a Man U glory-hunter in Singapore or Seattle really care if Man City are based only a few miles away from “his” club? He’s more bothered as to whether or not his favourites can buy more trophies than anyone else, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, anyone.
At Leeds, hatred tends to be reserved for those who have earned it, and who are – by independently verifiable standards – intrinsically despicable. Man U pass both tests with flying colours, and it’s certainly woven into my DNA to detest them. Call me a blinkered bigot (guilty, m’Lud) but I can never really understand why Sunderland and Newcastle, who meet in derby-day combat this afternoon, share such mutual loathing when quite frankly both would be better off directing their energies towards hating someone who deserves it.
Many at Leeds have the time and energy to revile other clubs, Chelsea prominent among them. The Ken Bates era at Leeds was an uncomfortable time for these types in particular – they hated Bates for his Chelsea connections (I hate him too, but mainly for his own not-so-sweet self.) Bates never seemed keen on Leeds either, not since – during his reign at Stamford Bridge – a group of freelance demolition contractors from Yorkshire travelled down to SW6 and saw off his scoreboard. But for me, Chelsea (and Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and the rest) are only relevant insofar as they have teams that can beat Man U for much of the time, and as long as they do that, they’re just fine and dandy as far as I’m concerned.
In Yorkshire the situation may best be summed-up as follows. All other Yorkshire clubs hate Leeds United, and Leeds United regard all other Yorkshire clubs as beneath our notice – except on those annoying occasions when temporarily reduced league status means we have to soil our boots by playing them. This attitude does nothing, of course, to endear Leeds to the likes of Bratfud, Barnsleh, Uddersfailed and the Sheffield dee-dahs – but really, who cares?
I have more respect for fans of clubs like Birmingham or Everton or – yes, even Man U, who hate Leeds for reasons other than just sharing a county with us. That fits better with my world view. Ask a Newcastle fan why he hates the Mackems, and he might blither incomprehensibly for a while (well, they just talk like that up there) – but no rational reply will emerge. I could talk your ears off about why I hate the scum, and I know many Man U fans who can do the same when invited to say why they hate Leeds, which is more than many other Leeds haters can say.
The fact is – whatever the pious purists and holier-than-thou types might say – there’s nothing wrong with football hatred, properly expressed and stopping comfortably this side of actual violence – as I’ve previously written here. It adds some passion to a crowd and to a football occasion, and football would die a lingering death in the sort of sterile atmosphere some of these self-righteous hypocrites seem to want. All I’d say is: if you must hate, then hate for a good reason.
Read my other articles, and you’ll find my reasons for hating Man U – the reasons why I firmly believe anyone might reasonably hate them – are a regular feature in the occasional rants to which I’m prone. They’re nothing to do with why Southampton hate Pompey, or why Forest hate Derby (although I CAN see the Clough factor in the latter case.) Pure regional tribalism is at work there, and I suppose there’s a place for it. But that sort of thing is slightly irrational to me, while hatred based on facts and history is not. Hatred is a genuine human emotion, and the football variety is a safety valve which is useful in diffusing a lot of the negative emotions in society at large. It’s a therapy of sorts. So chew on that, you pious, pseudo-intellectual gits who preach at rabid football fans and utterly fail to understand what’s going on.
I’m happy to admit that I have a healthy hatred for the scum, and I’m equally happy that it’s so lustily reciprocated – with any luck the depth of these feelings will see the game of football, still so dependent on the atmosphere generated by its match-going followers, survive for a good long time to come.

5 Ways Roc Bottle Is Making a Difference
by Roc Bottle Admin July 20, 2019
It’s no secret that plastic pollution is having a negative impact on our oceans, clogging our waterways and affecting precious wildlife. That’s why at Roc Bottle, we set out with the ambition to make a choice for change and wage a war on single-use plastics with our innovative range of reusable bottles. Here are five ways Roc Bottle is making a difference, offering hydration with purpose and giving back with every sip.
Small gestures make a huge difference
Roc Bottle is passionate about community and we are committed to donating a portion of our proceeds to our charity partners. We’re a community-driven organisation that is helping people to make more mindful decisions and reduce the perils of plastic pollution, all whilst giving back. In our world, it’s important to pay it forward because these small gestures can make a huge difference.
A million plastic bottles a minute
Sadly, over a million plastic bottles are being added to landfills around the world, per minute and it is currently estimated that plastic is set to outweigh all fish in the ocean by 2050. Just think about that. By reusing your Roc Bottle, you’re helping to alleviate the burden inflicted on Mother Earth and doing your part to reduce plastic waste in our oceans and landfills.
Saving money and our planet
The average person in the UK will spend £25,000 on bottled water. According to Thames Water, 2L of tap water costs less than 0.2p, in comparison to branded bottled water which currently costs 84p. Using these figures, the cost of bottled water is over 420 times tap water. By ditching bottled water and switching to Roc Bottle, this would represent a saving of £17,500, over 25 years. This means that not only would you be reducing your impact on the planet but you would also be saving a pretty penny. Everyone is a winner.
A healthier choice for hydration
If you’re doing your best to stay healthy and hydrated, we applaud you! Whether you’re glugging H2o at the gym or drinking it at your desk, Roc Bottle comes in a range of sizes from 330ml to 1L so that you can measure and monitor your water intake. Roc Bottle is made from BPA free, 18/8 food grade stainless steel, with a premium triple vacuum which allows your drinks stay hot for 12 hours and keep cool for 24 hours.
Knowing the size of your bottle, you can track the number of times you refill throughout the day and keep track of the amount of water you have consumed. Say goodbye to single-use plastics!
Send a message and join the movement
At Roc Bottle, our message is loud and clear. We’re on a mission to make a difference by reducing the harmful impact of single use plastics on our planet. We’re working with consumers, schools and corporates across the country to help demonstrate a commitment to change, one Roc Bottle at a time.

M&M Game Room
[3e IC] Pirates of the Terminus: Meetup
mrdent12
The last mission was a bit rough. Not in the usual sense of the word as in bruises and such, but in excrement. It turns out that saving a cargo ship converted to a migration ship full of corpse eating slugs leaves more than a little leftovers after they feasted on the drones harassing them. So, the day of cleaning was more of a relief than a chore.
As a payment of sorts, the crew had been given enough rations and refreshments to make even the most greedy pirate say enough. For a few hours at least, the crew had a chance to unwind in a smell free environment. While recreating in whatever fashion they chose, the beacon indicating a message from the Independent Alliance sprung to life. In addition to a messaging device, it allowed the crew to prove they were loosely aligned with the Independent Alliance in the case of attack by someone else in the alliance.
Once the crew had assembled on the bridge, the holographic projection of a simple cargo ship appeared before them.
We need your help urgently. A ship with possibly unimaginable power, enough to break Ohm’s defenses has reappeared after more than several thousand years in the Warpwold. Our records indicate Omega sent it in with a thousand drones to retrieve an artifact of power beyond imagination even for Omega. He never heard from the ship again. We are sending you the coordinates with this message. Others have most likely spotted it as well , but you are the only ones can count on who can get there in time. Our extra long range scans do not reveal any life signs and it is not returning any messages. It is static. All we need it to make sure that weapon does not end up in the hands of our enemies and if possible to assess what it is. We are counting on you.
When the message finishes, the holographic image changes to a map of the Terminus and a dot in an area long since thought abandoned due to the rigours of getting there through the entropy storms. No conventional drive ship even bothers trying to go there anymore due to most pilots not being able to get through.
In terms of getting there, you can
1) Use the blink drive, but will be powerless for effectively two rounds upon arrival.
2) Try to fly through the Entrophy storms, requiring three successful DC 30 vehicle checks. Each failure results in the Jolly Roger taking DC 35 damage with even a successful damage save resulting in a -1 toughness.
3) Something I didn't think of.

Status: Normal
Ju to's quarters were never far from the bridge, on any vessel he commanded. In the case of an emergency he always wanted to be there at a moment's notice. When the call came in this time, he had been lounging on his black leather sofa flipping through an Earth novel picked up at the last port. Penned by a name he didn't recognize, he neverless felt some sympathy for this 'Spock' character.
Now he stood at attention, ever respectful with that list lf people who had their number on file. The reading glazes he bad recently started to use were safely tucked away in one of his suit's pockets, and the man felt no shame in needing them. The effects of aging were his battle scars, both from living his life and that hardened battle with Ka so long ago.
'So,' Mission in mind, be focused. 'An artifact that even the lord of chaos himself desired. I can count my blessings that whatever it is he never had the chance to grab it for himself. No mention of a price... It seems I'll need to keep careful track of our expenses this time.'
There were a few ways to go about this. One was to fly blind, pop in without warning and hope for the best. Without knowing what was on the other side, this could easily result in an almost instantaneous death. On the other, it woukd avoid the entropy storms that would threaten to tear their ship apart. In his youth, that would have been his go to option in an instance. Yet his reflexes he needs to admit, have long eroded.
A glance towards the men and woman beside him was all they'd need to register his urging, for them to give their own thoughts on the matter. Juto always preferred to wait and co sider so paths before making the final call.

I'm obviously a doctor of literature.
As the crew absorbs the information, the sheer fact there is a portion of the Terminus not in the Warpwold that is not ravaged by war stands out. As sensor data starts coming in through the message pipe, the crew is made privy to all their employers know.
Expertise(Terminus) will help fill in gaps on the region of space
Expertise(relevant science here) will help make sense of the sensor data
I am also open to other skills or checks if you can make the case for them.
Expertise (Terminus): 1D20+9 = [19]+9 = 28
Well... that's actually ominous for a first roll. Or the DC is really low.
HP: 1 , Status: Normal, Location: Aboard the Jolly Roger, on the bridge
I had been perusing some old vids that a crewmate had provided. They were entertainment more than anything informative, but they had been offered to help me "develop my sense of humor." Since my failed prank, I have been eager to learn more about life forms and their propensity to find pleasure in the absurd.
The call to the bridge interrupted my study, and I quickly meandered through the ship's hallways, nearly "bumping" into Treylin. Unlike with each other, there would have been no harm to a crewmate from such an interaction with my cloud form; but my crewmates had still expressed discomfort with such, so I tried to provide them as much personal space as they did each other.
The message that had assembled us was brief, but descriptive enough. We were asked to retrieve a powerful artifact, and doubtless we would attempt to do so--we were known for our acts of daring to achieve important goals.
It was the star map that followed that indicated the difficulty of our task; the target coordinate was one surrounded by entropy storms. This meant there were notable risks involved with any of the reasonable methods of getting to the ship in a timely fashion.
However, the data was clear. The Commander was our best pilot, but even aided by Treylin, our second best, their chances of successfully navigating the storms was slim. The known risks of using the blink drive were far less, even if there were greater potential for harm for a brief span after tessering.

"Seems best to be using the blink drive, Commander. I'd take a dozen seconds of powerlessness in this situation over having any of us navigate that. No offense, sir."
Nearly immediately, more data came in through the message pipe. A portion of my pattern-recognition algorithms still wanted to note the timing as significant, tying it to my utterance and then subsequently fashioning some hypothesis to explain the connection. I'd managed to suppress the tendency over the years though; ignoring the coincidence, I stretched a portion of my form just far enough to easily view the data and parse it.
OOC: Quarks will take a crack at the sensor data.

Expertise(Terminus)
When the coordinates and map come up, it brings to mind a few stories heard around the Terminus. The area is surrounded by the Entropy Storms and Warpwold, so many thought it be a keen idea to use it like other dead space areas for smuggling. After losing a few ships or the crew going mad trying to get to the area, everyone decided against using the space. After Omega fell, a few space ports were abuzz about building a grand force in the area, but those too came to naught after the Warpwold drove the builders made since they couldn't go through the Entropy storms. Even exotic propulsion methods had issues due to the storms penetrating dimensional barriers on occasion.
The sensor data largely collaborates the message, but it left out that the missing life sign signal was not 100% confident. Due to all the distortions, they were only 80% confident at best. Another thing noticeable is that while right now the storms aren't too bad, if they get too bad using the Blink Drive there would be suicide because of the storms making the dimensional tunnel it creates a death trap. Overall, the data points to finishing soon or waiting for the next window whenever it happens and hoping no one else got to the ship first.
"There's more coming in, sir. First, the lack of life signs wasn't 100%--it was closer to 80. Second, it seems like the entropy storms might start really acting up; if they do, and we ain't finished, we'll be good and stuck for a while."
The latter part of that was out of concern for my crewmates, of course. Biological organisms seemed to loathe inactivity; I sometimes wondered if they were actually capable of dying of boredom, considering some of their complaints. Immediately some of my subroutines brought up another relevant factoid--supplies. Whereas I was able to subsist inertly for an indefinite period of time, the others required food, water, and various conveniences; they couldn't even hibernate, like some organisms. So then being trapped for too long was also a risk to their welfare. Curious. Perhaps it explained the aversion to inactivity; the fact that boredom was nigh unbearable could just be a survival mechanism?
I saved the thought to my "idle musings" file for later perusal.

"And the storms could affect the blink drive. So we could get stuck their without a way out."
If it wasn't one thing, its was another. Treylin had thought the Terminus would be a safe hiding place and a slight distraction from his problems. It proved neither.
Times like this did at least make his other problems seem absolutely inconsequential.
"As for powerless, a few of us can try to act as defense of the ship after a blink. And the shuttles."

Kaora Steelgrave
Condition: Contemplative
HP: 1
Kaora had been spending her downtime meditating, trying to clear her mind after the...challenging last mission, which is now easily in her top five worst missions. She joined the rest of the group as soon as the message had come in, though she's remained silent; She is not a pilot and had little in the way of alternate suggestions for how to reach their new destination. Finally, however, she speaks up.
"It seems to me that our best option is still to use the blink drive," she adds, speaking in a whispery and cold tone, "I mean no disrespect to anyone's skills of course; I wouldn't trust the best pilot in the whole Terminus to try and get us through those storms. Plus, if anyone else attempts to reach this ship, surely they would be using systems similar to this ship's blink drive? Meaning they would also be powerless immediately after the jump? Or am I mistaken?"
She puts a hand on her chin. "Still, getting trapped there would be problematic no matter what. If we do get stuck there in a storm and there are hostiles, how feasible would it be to use this cargo ship as a temporary shelter while we wait for the storm to subside?"
"There could be people who detected it before we were contacted, and they would already be there. There may also be a threat on the ship itself, even if its not populated with living people. Automated defenses are a real possibility."
He pauses.
"But I agree that the blink drive is our best option."
From her experience as a gun for hire, in a manner of speaking, Kaora recalls stories of some ace pilots who could navigate through anything. A few species even were highly sough after in the criminal market for their skills as pilots. In addition, she's seen a couple exotic propulsion system in her day, but as best she knows the blink drive is fairly unique.
If you want to know more, I will need an expertise(criminals) roll.
He cuffed his chin, looking over the data another time as the information started to roll in. In all likelihood so far, it did seem like their best chance of navigating toward the objected would be to employ the Blink Drive. yet that didn't mean they didn't have to be cautious. A few of their number could possibly withstand the Terminus for a short time, such as Quarks. They also had three shuttles available to them, one of them his own. Perhaps if people waited inside the hangar to disembark and buy the ship enough time to recover power... The basis of an idea was already starting to take shape.
Giving them another look, the invitation was there to supply any more of their thoughts on the matter at hand.
Kaora nods. "Fair enough, though I'd rather take my chances with other ships than any kind of entropy storm. You're also correct about automated defences, though keep in mind that the ship has been missing for several thousand years. If there's no life aboard, I find it difficult to imagine that many of them would be in working order."
She pauses as a thought strikes her. "Though the ship might have some form of automatic maintenance system, and if the readings are incorrect, who even knows what's currently on that ship?"

Kaora can come up with vague recollection of either defectors or fighters who lost their faction leader that had superior reflexes almost as if they could tell the future. These rogues and other of their ilk could most likely navigate the storms albeit getting bruised up a little.

Robert D.C. Saunders, Maria do Carmo Avides, Thomas Howard, Cayetano Gonzalez, David M. Glover; The Drosophila Gene abnormal spindle Encodes a Novel Microtubule-associated Protein That Associates with the Polar Regions of the Mitotic Spindle. J Cell Biol 19 May 1997; 137 (4): 881–890. doi: https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.137.4.881
abnormal spindle, a gene required for normal spindle structure and function in Drosophila melanogaster, lies immediately adjacent the gene tolloid at 96A/B. It encodes a 220-kD polypeptide with a predicted pI of 10.8. The recessive mutant allele asp1 directs the synthesis of a COOH terminally truncated or internally deleted peptide of ∼124 kD. Wild-type Asp protein copurifies with microtubules and is not released by salt concentrations known to dissociate most other microtubule-associated proteins. The bacterially expressed NH2-terminal 512-amino acid peptide, which has a number of potential phosphorylation sites for p34cdc2 and MAP kinases, strongly binds to microtubules. The central 579-amino acid segment of the molecule contains one short motif homologous to sequences in a number of actin bundling proteins and a second motif present at the calmodulin binding sites of several proteins. Immunofluorescence studies show that the wild-type Asp protein is localized to the polar regions of the spindle immediately surrounding the centrosome. These findings are discussed in relation to the known spindle abnormalities in asp mutants.
Mutations in abnormal spindle (asp)1 lead to defects in mitosis at a variety of developmental stages as well as in male meiosis. The late larval–pupal lethality seen with strong hypomorphic alleles of asp is typical of mutations in Drosophila genes encoding stable proteins essential for mitosis. Homozygous individuals receive sufficient maternal gene product from their heterozygous mothers to permit normal embryonic development to proceed. However, there is insufficient functional gene product to permit mitosis during larval and pupal stages, when the imaginal discs and abdominal histoblast nests proliferate to form adult structures. Rare escapers may display a number of cuticular abnormalities associated with cell death, such as missing bristles, misshapen tergites and sternites, and roughened eyes. The maternal contribution of Asp protein has been demonstrated directly in cuticular clones in which there has been the loss of a marked Y chromosome as a result of nondisjunction due to the mutation (Carmena et al., 1991). The frequency and size of such clones correlate inversely with the amount of maternally contributed asp+ gene product.
The asp locus was originally identified through a late larval lethal mutation that causes defects in both mitosis and meiosis (Ripoll et al., 1985). Several mitotic abnormalities may be observed in third instar larval neuroblasts from asp homozygotes. There is an increased mitotic index and a high frequency of polyploid cells. Many metaphase figures have very highly condensed chromosomes, suggestive of a delay in progress through metaphase, and anaphase figures appear abnormally broad. asp1 animals show reduced fertility, and a high frequency of nondisjunction has been observed in both divisions of male meiosis. Phase contrast microscopic analysis of meiosis in homozygous asp males revealed the abnormalities of spindle structure that gave the locus its name (Ripoll et al., 1985) and that were subsequently confirmed by electron (Casal et al., 1990) and immunofluorescent microscopy (Gonzalez et al., 1990). Similar spindle abnormalities were seen in mitosis in the larval neuroblasts of strong asp hypomorphs (Gonzalez et al., 1990). Typically these mitotic cells have long wavy arrays of microtubules. Hemi-spindles are frequently observed in which a long dense array of microtubules is nucleated from a single centrosome.
Animals transheterozygous for particular mutant alleles of asp show an increased frequency of survival to adulthood (Gonzalez et al., 1990). However, survivors are female sterile and produce syncytial embryos displaying a number of abnormalities in nuclear divisions. One class of these embryos has no DNA, as judged by fluorescent staining, presumably reflecting failure of germline mitosis. A second class shows a variety of problems in nuclear division, including an abnormal ratio of centrosomes to nuclei and broadened or fused spindles with wavy microtubules.
Taken together, the various phenotypes seen in asp homozygotes suggest that the asp gene product may be involved in some aspect of spindle microtubule dynamics. In this paper we show that asp encodes a microtubule-associated protein that localizes to the polar regions of the spindle early in mitosis and the midbody at telophase.
Microcloning DNA from the asp Region
Chromosomal material corresponding to polytene map position 96A2196B10 was microdissected from Oregon R third instar larval salivary gland polytene chromosomes. Two fragments were microdissected from two chromosomes and were pooled. The DNA was extracted and cloned, as described (Scalenghe et al., 1985; Saunders et al., 1989), in the lambda insertion vector NM1149 (Murray, 1983). The recombinant clones were screened with labeled genomic DNA to identify clones containing repetitive DNA. Clones that appeared to be single-copy DNA were mapped by in situ hybridization to verify that they were derived from the asp region. A second chromosome microdissection was carried out using PCR amplification, as described previously (Saunders et al., 1989). In this case, two serial sections were performed through the 96A21-96B10 region of one chromosome. The amplifications yielded pools of DNA fragments of mean size 300 bp, as expected for Sau3A digestion. Microclone inserts and pools of DNA were labeled by random oligonucleotide priming and used to screen the cosmid libraries.
Chromosome Walking
Genomic clones were isolated from lambda libraries in Lambda dash (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA), and cosmid libraries were those constructed using the vectors Smart2 (Speek et al., 1988) or Lorist6 (Siden-Kiamos et al., 1990). The initial screening was carried out with cloned DNA arising from the first microcloning experiment. Subsequent steps of the walk used terminal RNA probes synthesized from the promoters at the ends of the cloning vectors. Periodically, the progress of the walk was monitored by in situ hybridization as described (Saunders et al., 1989). In situ hybridization of fragments from the chromosome walk to In(3R+3L)ats chromosomes (with which the deficiency-bearing In(3R)Ubx7LLatsR was synthesized; Gonzalez et al., 1989) enabled the location of the distal breakpoint of the deficiency In(3R)Ubx7LLatsR to be determined. To map the distal breakpoint of Df(3R)Hdγ1, in situ hybridization with fluorescent labels (Saunders, 1994) was used to visualize signals derived from one or both homologues of 3R.
cDNAs were subsequently isolated by using segments of the walk to screen a testis cDNA library, kindly provided by T. Hazelrigg that had been constructed by a combination of random and oligo-dT priming in the vector λZAP and also embryonic cDNA libraries (provided by Brown, N.; Brown and Kafatos, 1988).
P element–mediated Rescue of asp1 Mutants
Rescue experiments were carried out using two Drosophila melanogaster lines containing homozygous second chromosome insertions of the P element transformation vector plasmids pMBO1366 and pMBO1367, respectively (Shimell et al., 1991). Plasmid pMBO1367 contains an 18-kb SalI fragment that includes both the tld and asp transcripts; pMBO1366 contains a 14-kb SalI fragment that includes the tld transcript but only the 5′ half of the asp transcript. Females with the genotype +/+; asp1 red/TM6B were crossed to 1367/1367; +/+ males. 1367/+; asp1 red/+ males were selected from the F1 progeny and crossed to +/ +; asp1 red/TM6B females to obtain asp1 red/asp1 red individuals. 1367; asp1/asp1 animals did not show any morphological defect and were fully fertile, indicating that the 1367 insertion rescues the asp1 homozygous lethal phenotype. As a control, the same crosses were carried out using 1366 transformants. This insertion failed to rescue the asp1 mutation.
Sequence Determination and Analysis
Sequencing was carried out using the dideoxynucleotide chain termination procedure (Sambrook et al., 1989). Template clones for sequencing were produced by exonuclease III deletion (Sambrook et al., 1989) of inserts subcloned in Bluescript SK+ and KS+. Sequences were assembled using Microgenie (Beckmann Instruments, Inc., Fullerton, CA) and Lasergene (DNASTAR Inc., Madison, WI) software. Searches of GenBank/ EMBL/DDBJ database were conducted using BLAST with the MRC human genome mapping project computer. The protein sequence was analyzed using DOMAIN, SAPS, and COILS programs.

Plasmid pASP36 was constructed by inserting the NcoI–BamHI fragment from p6a (see Fig. 2) into the expression vector pET23d (Invitrogen Corp., San Diego, CA). Conditions for culture and induction were as described by the supplier. The polypeptide expressed by this clone represents the NH2-terminal portion of the Asp protein and does not include the putative actin binding domain. This polypeptide was insoluble and was purified by preparing inclusion bodies, separating the proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, excising the appropriate band from the gel, and electroeluting the protein as described by Leppard et al. (1983). Polyclonal sera were prepared by injecting rabbits as described (Harlow and Lane, 1988).
Plasmid pASP11 was constructed by inserting the BamHI–EcoRI fragment from p6a (see Fig. 2) into the expression vector pQE31 (Qiagen, Inc., Santa Clara, CA). Conditions for culture, induction, and denaturing purification on Ni–agarose columns (Qiagen, Inc.) were as described by the supplier.
Embryo Staining
Embryos were fixed and stained as described by Gonzalez and Glover (1993). Propidium iodide was used to visualize DNA; the rat monoclonal antibody YL1/2 (Kilmartin et al., 1982) was used to stain microtubules, and the rabbit polyclonal antibody Rb3133 was used to stain the Asp protein. Staining was revealed using Texas red–conjugated goat anti–rat antibody and fluorescein-conjugated goat anti–rabbit antibody. All commercial antibodies were obtained from Jackson ImmunoResearch Labs, Inc. (West Grove, PA). Images were collected using an Optiphot microscope (Nikon Inc., Garden City, NY) with a confocal scanning head (model 600; BioRad, Richmond, CA) and merged using Adobe Photoshop V2.5.
Microtubule Preparation
Microtubules were purified from 0–3-h-old Drosophila embryos essentially as described by Goldstein et al. (1986). Embryos were collected, dechorionated in 50% bleach, and washed with tap water and then with lysis buffer. About 3 ml of embryos were homogenized in 2 vol of ice cold lysis buffer (0.1 M Pipes/NaOH, pH 6.6, 5 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgSO4, 0.9 M glycerol, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM PMSF, 1 mg/ml aprotinin, 1 mg/ml leupeptin, and 1 mg/ml pepstatin) with a Dounce homogenizer. The microtubules were depolymerized by incubation on ice for 15 min, and the extract was then centrifuged at 16,000 g for 30 min at 4°C. The supernatant was recentrifuged at 135,000 g for 90 min at 4°C. Microtubules in this latter supernatant were polymerized by addition of GTP, to a final concentration of 1 mM, addition of taxol, to a final concentration of 20 mM, and incubation at room temperature for 30 min. 3-ml aliquots of extract was layered on top of 3-ml 15% sucrose cushions prepared in lysis buffer supplemented with 20 mM taxol and 1 mM GTP. After centrifuging at 54,000 g for 30 min at 20°C using a swing out rotor, the pellet was resuspended in lysis buffer containing taxol and GTP. To extract the MAPs, the concentration of NaCl was adjusted to 0.4 M, and the samples were incubated for 30 min at 37°C. Microtubules were pelleted by centrifugation at top speed on a microcentrifuge for 30 min; the supernatant is considered to be the MAP fraction.
Overlay Assays
Proteins were blotted to PVDF membranes (Amersham Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA) after SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked with TBST (50 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20) containing 5% nonfat dry milk for 1 h, washed for 15 min in TBST plus 1% nonfat dry milk, and washed for 15 min in PEMF (0.1 mM Pipes/NaOH, pH 6.6, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgSO4, 25 mM NaF) buffer plus 1 mM GTP. The blots were then incubated overnight at room temperature with 5 μg/ml Drosophila tubulin (purified as described) in PEMF supplemented with 1 mM GTP and 20 mM taxol. The bound microtubules were detected by standard Western blot procedures using the monoclonal antibody Bx69 diluted five times.
Molecular Cloning of abnormal spindle
Previous genetic mapping studies (Gonzalez et al., 1989) mapped asp to the cytological interval 96A21-96B10 between the distal breakpoint of In(3R)Ubx7LLatsR and the breakpoint of T(Y;3)B197 (Fig. 1). At the onset of this work there were no obvious molecular entry points into this region, and so we chose the technique of chromosome microdissection and microcloning to achieve this end. Two chromosomal segments corresponding to the asp interval were microdissected and DNA fragments extracted for cloning in the bacteriophage λ insertion vector λ1149. The chromosomal origins of these clones were confirmed by in situ hybridization, before using them to screen phage λ and cosmid genomic libraries (see Materials and Methods). A resulting chromosome walk of 130 kb was carried out and clones correlated with the polytene chromosome map by in situ hybridization. The distal breakpoint of In(3R)Ubx7LLatsR, which does not uncover asp and defines the proximal boundary of the region known to contain asp, was mapped to a 5.8-kb BamHI fragment at the extreme proximal end of the walk. The distal end of the chromosome walk maps to the interband between 96A21-25 and 96B1-10. Subsequently, we found that a cytologically invisible deficiency Df(3R)Hdγ1 uncovers not only the nearby zygotic embryonic lethal tolloid (tld), as reported by Shimell et al. (1991), but also asp.
To locate the asp gene, restriction fragments from the chromosome walk were used to screen a Drosophila testis cDNA library (a gift of Hazelrigg, T.). Genomic DNA corresponding to partial cDNA clones obtained from this screen was used in a secondary screen of an embryonic cDNA library (Brown and Kafatos, 1988). This yielded 6.5-kb cDNA clones corresponding to a transcription unit lying immediately distal to tld (Shimell et al., 1991). The tld68–62 mutation results from a P element insertion associated with a deletion of ∼4 kb that removes the entire tld transcription unit and ∼1 kb of the 5′ end of the gene encoding the 6.5kb transcript. Shimell et al. (1991) showed that tld can be rescued by two constructs, pMBO1366 and pMBO1367. Although pMBO1366 rescues the early embryonic zygotic lethality of tld68–62, the rescued flies exhibit cuticular defects. As such defects are associated with asp, it seemed that tld68–62 could be a tld asp double mutant. Consequently we tested whether these same transformants would rescue the recessive lethality of asp1. pMBO1366 contains tld but only the 5′ end of the candidate asp gene, whereas pMBO1367 contains both transcription units (see Materials and Methods; Fig. 1). We found that the pMBO1367 rescues the lethality of asp1 mutants while pMBO1366 does not. Taken together, these data confirm the identity of the 6.5-kb transcription unit as asp.
Furthermore, this gene has a developmental pattern of expression typical of many genes essential for the cell cycle whose products have to be maternally provided to the embryo. We used EcoRI–EcoRI or NcoI–EcoRI fragments from the 6.5-kb cDNA clone p6a as hybridization probes on developmental Northern blots. One transcript of ∼6.5 kb was readily observed (Fig. 2) in mRNA prepared from embryos and females (Fig. 2, lanes 1, 2, and 6) but was present at greatly reduced levels in larval and adult male mRNA (Fig. 2, lanes 3–5 and 7). When a SalI– NotI fragment from the plasmid pMBO1367, encompassing around 14 kb upstream of the NotI site on asp, was used as a probe, we observed the same 6.5-kb transcript plus one 3.8-kb transcript in embryonic mRNA corresponding to tld (Shimell et al., 1991) and a 5.2-kb transcript presumably corresponding to the recently described tolkin gene (Finelli et al., 1995; and data not shown).
asp Encodes a Highly Basic Protein with Putative Actin and Calmodulin Binding Domains
The 6.5-kb asp cDNA encodes a predicted polypeptide of 1,863–amino acid residues that has no homologues in the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ database (Fig. 3,A). The asp protein is predominantly hydrophilic and strikingly basic, having a calculated pI of 10.8. Its secondary structure is predicted to be mostly α-helical. Analysis of the protein using the COILS program shows that short stretches of amino acids near the COOH terminus have the potential to form a coiled coil. There is a small sequence lying between residues 848 and 870 that has significant similarity to the core actin binding domain of a number of actin binding proteins, such as α-actinin (Noegel et al., 1987; Blanchard et al., 1989), fimbrin, spectrin, dystrophin (de Arruda et al., 1990; Matsudaira, 1991), and the Dictyostelium discoideum ABP120 (Bresnick et al. 1990; Fig. 3,B). These proteins either bundle actin filaments together (for example α-actinin) or attach actin filaments to other cellular structures. A second sequence lying between residues 938 and 968 corresponds to the conserved calmodulin binding (IQ) motif (Cheney and Mooseker, 1992) present in neuromodulin, a neuron-specific membrane-associated protein (Chapman et al., 1991); neurogranin, a neuron specific protein kinase C substrate (Baudier et al., 1991); the igloo gene product, a calmodulin-binding protein from the Drosophila central nervous system (Neel and Young, 1994); and in the “neck” regions of most forms of conventional and nonconventional myosin (for review see Cheney and Mooseker, 1992; Fig. 3 C). In addition Asp shows six consensus sites for phosphorylation by p34cdc2 and four consensus sites for phosphorylation by MAP kinase. Interestingly, these are all clustered in the NH2-terminal third of the molecule.
The asp1 Allele Encodes a Truncated or Internally Deleted Protein
To further characterize the asp gene product, we raised rabbit polyclonal antibodies to a truncated Asp protein expressed in E. coli. The NcoI–BamHI fragment of cDNA 6a (Fig. 4) was subcloned into the expression vector pET23d. The resulting construct, pASP36, expresses a polypeptide corresponding to amino acid residues 1–512, with a predicted molecular weight of 55.9 kD. This polypeptide does not contain the putative actin binding domain of the Asp protein.
The resulting serum Rb3133 recognizes one polypeptide of ∼220 kD in immunoblots of third instar larval brains (Fig. 5). To confirm that Rb3133 reacts specifically with the Asp protein, brains from larvae of the transgenic strain 1366 (see Materials and Methods) were used in Western blot analysis (Fig. 5, lane 2). Flies transformed with pMBO1366 are expected to synthesize two forms of the Asp protein: full length protein of 220 kD, derived from the endogenous copy of asp at 96A and a truncated form derived from the transgene. As expected, the serum detects the 220-kD wild-type asp protein plus a 124-kD polypeptide corresponding to the COOH-terminal truncated form of the asp protein encoded by plasmid pMBO1366. When extracts from brains of asp1 homozygous larvae were analyzed (Fig. 5, lane 3), the 220-kD protein is no longer observed, but the serum labels a polypeptide of ∼130 kD. As the polyclonal antibodies were raised against the NH2 terminus of the Asp protein, it seems that the asp1 mutation results in a COOH terminus truncation or in an internal deletion of the Asp protein.
The Asp Protein Associates with Microtubules
As mutations in asp affect the behavior of spindle microtubules, we sought to determine whether the Asp protein was itself microtubule associated. We purified microtubules from Drosophila embryos and took aliquots at each stage of the purification for electrophoresis and blotting onto PVDF membranes. These blots were incubated with the polyclonal serum Rb3133 and with the monoclonal antibody Bx69, which detect the Asp protein and β-tubulin, respectively (Fig. 6, A and B). Enrichment in tubulin is paralleled by an enrichment in the Asp protein. Moreover, the Asp protein seems to bind microtubules with a very high affinity as it is not released from the microtubule pellet by salt conditions that are known to dissociate most MAPs (Fig. 6, lanes 6). Asp protein is also not liberated after incubation with ATP (data not shown).
We further assessed the ability of Asp protein to bind microtubules in overlay assays in which bacterially expressed Asp fragments were separated by SDS-PAGE and blotted to a membrane that was subsequently incubated with microtubules. Bound microtubules were then detected by probing with the monoclonal anti–β-tubulin antibody Bx69. These assays were performed using either total E. coli proteins from cells expressing Asp11 and Asp36 (Fig. 7, A and B) or the corresponding purified fusion proteins (Fig. 7,C). Microtubules were observed to bind to both Asp36 and Asp11, but binding to Asp36 appears to be of a higher affinity (Fig. 7, B and C). Binding seems to be specific, as no detectable binding of microtubules to total E. coli proteins was observed in strains that had not been induced to express the fusion proteins (Fig. 7, A and B). To ensure that differences in binding did not simply reflect differences in the degree of induction of the two fusion proteins in the bacteria, we repeated the microtubule binding assay using increasing amounts of the two purified fusion proteins (Fig. 7 C). Differences in the binding affinity can be seen at all protein concentrations; Asp11 binding to microtubules was barely detectable when 1.6 μg of protein are used, whereas microtubule binding to Asp36 is readily detectable when 0.4 μg of protein were blotted to the membrane. This shows that the NH2-terminal third of the Asp protein binds more avidly to microtubules than does the central part of the molecule.
The Asp Protein Associates with the Mitotic Spindle
Mutations in asp affect the morphology of both the mitotic spindle at several developmental stages and the meiotic spindle. At all stages mutant spindle microtubules may be described as having a long and wavy appearance, and it is not uncommon to see the loss of bipolarity in the form of hemispindle structures. To determine whether Asp protein is a constituent of the wild-type spindle we used the Rb3133 antibody to localize the Asp protein with respect to microtubules in mitosis in syncytial embryos (Fig. 8). During interphase, Asp protein appears to be distributed throughout the cytoplasm (Fig. 8,a), but as the syncytium enters mitosis and the bipolar spindle is formed, Asp is seen in association with the polar regions (Fig. 8,b). This polar association becomes tighter throughout metaphase and anaphase (Fig. 8, c and d), but at telophase, as the chromatin is decondensing and the spindle begins to disassemble, the Asp protein appears to move away from the region occupied by the centrosome onto the central region of the spindle microtubules.
Several pieces of evidence confirm the molecular identity of the asp gene. The full length gene rescues asp in germline transformants, whereas a truncated gene does not. Furthermore, antibodies raised against a segment of the gene expressed in E. coli recognize a truncated form of Asp protein in asp1 homozygotes. These same antibodies have allowed us to examine the subcellular distribution of the Asp protein in cytological preparations by immunostaining and biochemically after subcellular fractionation. These experiments show the Asp protein to copurify with microtubules after Taxol-induced tubulin polymerization and that it remains associated with the microtubules in salt concentrations that remove many other MAPs. That the Asp protein is a MAP is confirmed by its association with the polar regions of spindles in mitosis.
Asp is the first metazoan MAP to be identified through a genetic approach, and it is gratifying that the naming of the gene by Ripoll et al. (1985) was predictive of the localization and function of the protein. The protein is highly basic, and in its central region lies a putative actin-binding motif. Basic regions within other MAPs play a significant part in conferring the ability to bind microtubules. The Asp protein is no exception to this rule in that at least one segment of this basic molecule, a polypeptide comprised of the 512 NH2-terminal amino acids, can be shown to bind microtubules in vitro. The central region of the protein binds microtubules poorly. Unfortunately, we have been unable to test the microtubule binding ability of the COOH-terminal region, as this segment of the protein appears unstable in both bacterial and insect cell expression systems.
It is instructive to compare the domain organization and microtubule binding properties of Asp with other MAPs that have been characterized. These are principally of mammalian origin, and most have been purified from brain as proteins associated with the stable microtubules of the axons and dendrites of neurons. In some cases, these proteins may be expressed specifically in brain. However, in many cases their presence in other tissues is being confirmed. MAP2, for example, is predominantly found in brain but has recently been shown to be present in rat testes (Loveland et al., 1996). In general, MAPs bind to microtubules to increase their stability. Studies of MAP2C in vivo, for example, show that it bundles and stabilizes microtubules in cultured fibroblasts (Umeyama et al., 1993). Moreover, in vitro studies show that MAP2 can decrease the frequency of transitions between the growth and shortening of microtubules leading to net microtubule growth (Kowalski and Williams, 1993; Itoh and Hotani, 1994). Like several other MAPs, MAP2 has a short “promoter” domain, which binds to microtubules to promote assembly, and a “projection” domain thought to interact with other cytoskeletal elements. Fellous et al. (1994) have digested MAP2 with chymotrypsin to remove the projection domain and find that the residual promoter domain differs from the full length protein in that it binds microtubules to organize them into clusters of spirals. Moreover, assembly of microtubules in the presence of the promoter domain alone is more resistant to certain depolymerizing drugs than assembly in the presence of the full length protein. Thus the projection domain would appear to modify the interactions of MAP2 with microtubules in their assembly. The Asp protein may be seen as being structurally similar and functionally analogous, having an NH2-terminal microtubule binding domain and central and COOH-terminal regions with the potential to interact with other cytoskeletal components.
It may be not only that microtubule dynamics are affected by the asp mutation but possible that the function of other MAPs, in particular motor molecules, could be impaired if the mutant protein can still bind microtubules. The binding of MAP2, for example, is known to inhibit the motility of kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein, but this is reversed by phosphorylation of the protein (Lopez and Sheetz, 1995). This specifically requires a cAMP-dependent kinase that copurifies with MAP2, and it is not affected by phosphorylation with p34cdc2 kinase, mitogen activated protein kinase, or the NIMA mitotic kinase. In contrast, phosphorylation of MAP4 by p34cdc2 kinase abolishes its microtubule stabilizing activity, interestingly without altering its ability to bind microtubules (Ookata et al., 1995). MAP4 is the major MAP of many mammalian cell lines and is present along the length of both interphase and mitotic microtubules (Bulinski and Borisy, 1980; DeBrabander et al., 1981). There is evidence that MAP4 mediates the association of cyclin B with microtubules in both the starfish oocyte and in cultured mammalian cells (Ookata et al., 1992, 1993, 1995). It may therefore provide a general mechanism for destabilizing interphase microtubules upon entry into mitosis. Other MAPs could also have such a role, and as with the kinesin-like proteins, MAPs could be functionally redundant. A 230-kD protein, XMAP 230, has been purified from Xenopus oocytes and found to be present in all dividing cells (Andersen et al., 1995). It is localized to microtubules in interphase but dissociates from them upon entry into mitosis, to reassociate later in the mitotic cycle. It is phosphorylated by mitotic extracts whereupon it has a reduced affinity for microtubules. Upon binding it increases microtubule growth rate, decreases the rate of shrinking, and suppresses microtubule loss by “catastrophe.” It thus stabilizes interphase microtubules and can locally modify microtubule behavior during mitosis. As the Asp protein has numerous sites for phosphorylation by p34cdc2 and mitogen-activated protein kinase, it is not inconceivable that cyclical phosphorylation could affect its properties throughout the mitotic cycle.
The presence of wild-type Asp protein in the polar regions of the spindle points to this being the site of its action and suggests that it may play a crucial role in regulating the dramatic changes of microtubule dynamics upon the entry into mitosis. Its presence in the astral microtubules may be important to mediate interactions between microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton. This function is suggested by the actin-binding motif in the central domain of the protein. This motif is homologous to ones seen in a number of actin bundling or gelation factors. These include α-actinin (Noegel et al., 1987; Blanchard et al., 1989), a filamentous actin cross-linking protein found in stress fibers and adhesion plaques in nonmuscle cells and in Z-discs in muscle cells; it has a single actin binding motif and can cross link actin filaments into a homodimer. Single actin binding motifs are also found on dystrophin and spectrin (de Arruda et al., 1990; Matsudaira, 1991). Fimbrin, an actin-associated protein found in microvilli and filopodia, on the other hand, has a duplicated actin binding motif that enables it to bundle actin filaments as a monomer (de Arruda et al., 1990). It has homology to plastins, cytoplasmic actin binding proteins, and the protein encoded by the yeast gene ABP7 or Sac6p (Adams et al., 1995). The association of microtubule and microfilament networks is nowhere more obvious than in the vicinity of centrosomally nucleated asters. In the syncytial blastoderm Drosophila embryo, for example, the actin caps that form above interphase nuclei are positioned by the centrosome and its associated microtubules. Moreover, the spatial coordination of mitosis and cytokinesis requires the contractile actin ring that will dictate the cleavage furrow to be correctly positioned with respect to the spindle. Classical experiments with echinoderm eggs showed that moving the spindle by micromanipulation resulted in the corresponding repositioning of the cleavage furrow. However, the experimental manipulation of such embryos to produce two mitotic spindles within a single cell led to the generation of a third cleavage furrow between the asters of the juxtaposed spindles (for review see Rappaport, 1986a,b). The nature of the molecular “signal” that positions the actin ring with respect to the asters is unknown, but it is possible that a molecule such as the Asp protein could fulfill this role.
The presence of a potential calmodulin binding site in the central region of the molecule implies that the Asp protein may be responsive to fluxes in calcium ions known to occur in the polar regions of the spindle. Preliminary experiments show that the motif present in Asp enables it to bind to calmodulin in a Ca2+-dependent manner (data not shown). Calmodulin is a member of the EF hand superfamily of proteins. There is strong evidence for a direct role for two members of this family in spindle pole body (SPB) function in budding yeast. Calmodulin itself has been shown by both genetic and molecular studies (Geiser et al., 1993; Stirling et al., 1994, 1996; Sundberg et al., 1996) to be essential for spindle function as a result of its interaction with the COOH terminus of Spc110p, an essential protein with a large coiled-coil domain that provides a spacer between the central and inner plaques of the SPB (Kilmartin, 1993). The second EF hand protein localized to the SPB is the product of the CDC31 gene, which associates with the KAR1 gene product to form a complex (Spang et al., 1993, 1995; Biggens and Rose, 1994; Vallen et al., 1994). Roles for these proteins in spindle function are likely to be conserved. Calmodulin is the major intracellular Ca2+ receptor and is involved in many cellular processes; it is known to be localized to the microtubules of metazoan spindles (e.g., Stemple et al., 1988), and it appears to be important in regulating the function of its dependent kinase and phosphatase in the metaphase– anaphase transition and in spindle behavior (Morin et al., 1994; Yoshida et al., 1994). CDC31 is the yeast homologue of centrin, a protein first identified in the Chlamydomonas basal body and subsequently found to be a universal component of centrosomes in animal cells (for review see Salisbury, 1995). There are therefore a large number of potential ways in which Asp protein function might be mediated through an association with one of these EF hand proteins.
It is evident that many questions are thrown open by our finding that the Asp protein is a MAP containing potential actin and calmodulin binding motifs. However, our work has now generated the molecular tools with which we can begin to address some of the above issues.

Russia sends more than 100 troops to Venezuela
March 24, 2019 Web Editor Comments Off on Russia sends more than 100 troops to Venezuela
CARACAS – The Russian Defense Ministry has sent An-124 military transport aircraft, IL-62M jet airliner and more than 100 troops to Caracas, against the backdrop of growing tensions between Venezuela and the United States.
Citing its sources, the Defence Blog reported that Chief of the General Staff of the Ground Forces Col. Gen. Vasily Tonkoshkurov also arrived with the Russian troops.
Reports suggest the cargo plane arrived in Venezuela from Moscow through Syria.

Growing discontent in Venezuela, fuelled by hyperinflation, power cuts and food and medicine shortages, has led to a political crisis.
Opposition leader Juan Guaidó has declared himself interim president following large protests, galvanising opponents of current socialist President Nicolás Maduro.
Mr. Guaidó has been recognized as leader by more than 50 countries, including most in Latin America and the United States. Mr. Maduro, who still has the support of China and Russia, accuses the opposition of being part of a US-orchestrated coup.
Venezuela: Guaidó invites Russia and China to change sides
At least 40 people are believed to have died since 21 January and the UN has warned that the situation could spiral out of control.
More than three million Venezuelans have fled their country over recent years, blaming hunger, lack of medical care, rising unemployment and violent crime.
Defence Blog reports the emergence of a large number of the Russian military is the desire of Moscow to show their determination to Trump administration. Moreover, it quoted some sources as saying that a new Russian military base may appear in Venezuela in the near future.

Where do organizations turn for big data tools and hardware?
Source: TechTarget
Now that you have some insight into your customer's big data projects, you may be disappointed to learn how they intend to buy big data technology. Only 10% of respondents said they planned to purchase their big data tools through the channel, compared to 29% who said they would buy directly through the manufacturers.
Although these numbers may be discouraging, do recognize that the majority of respondents -- 58% -- said they were undecided. Additionally, 21% said they would use both.
Can organizations be swayed toward buying their big data technology through the channel? According to Phil Shelley, president of big data consultancy Newton Park Partners, the way businesses buy big data technology depends on whether it's software or hardware. "On the software side for big data, you're really mostly talking about the Hadoop market, which is only a direct option," he said. "I don't know anybody, actually, that does not go direct for the software, for Hadoop specifically." While there may be some opportunities for resellers around software, such as deal referrals, it is uncommon for companies to turn to the channel for big data tools, he said.
For hardware, it's different, Shelley said. While some vendors such as Cisco and Oracle sell their own brand of hardware for big data applications, the hardware that companies need for their big data projects isn't any different than general-purpose computing hardware. "Hadoop [for example] was designed by Google originally to run on very generic hardware. It has no specific requirements to run.
"If [companies are] already buying your hardware through [channel partners] … there's no reason why they wouldn't just buy the big data hardware through the channel," he said.
The real opportunity today for channel partners may be in consulting services. Consulting services is "a big growth area" due to a big data skills gap, he said. For more information on developing a big data consulting practice, download our handbook.

What would a no-deal Brexit mean for Scotch?
14 January 2019 by Richard Woodard
With a crucial House of Commons vote on the UK Government’s Brexit plan looming, what would exiting the European Union without an agreement mean for exports of Scotch whisky? Richard Woodard investigates.
Breaking away: A no-deal Brexit could create increased ‘cost and complexity’ for Scotch
Tomorrow, Tuesday 15 January, UK Members of Parliament are due to vote on the Government’s ‘Brexit deal’ – the terms of the UK Withdrawal Agreement from the European Union (EU). If they back Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan, the UK will exit the EU at 11pm on 29 March. However, at the time of writing, they seem very likely to vote it down – and this could have serious consequences for exports of Scotch whisky.
Backing the PM’s plan would, among other things, secure a transition agreement with the EU, meaning that little would change before the end of 2020 – in other words, buying time for the UK to shape its long-term future trading relationship with EU member states.
But rejecting it – assuming the Government cannot come back with a satisfactory alternative plan within three days – could mean that the UK crashes out of the EU on 29 March without a deal. That means trading on WTO rules (something no other significant trading partner of the EU does), and the reinstatement of border checks, severely impacting the transport of goods between the UK and the EU.
EU markets are vital for Scotch. Whatever the lure of the huge US market and the emerging destinations of Asia and Latin America, the EU accounted for almost 40% of Scotch whisky exports by volume in the first half of 2018; and just over 30% by value. In a full year, that’s well over £1bn of revenues.
The industry’s major stakeholders – leading producers Diageo and Pernod Ricard, plus trade body the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) – were pro-Remain in the run-up to the 2016 EU referendum. Almost three years on, both Diageo and the SWA are now backing the PM’s deal, while Pernod declined to comment.
Huge appetite: EU countries are major consumers of Scotch whisky
‘We are pleased the UK has reached an agreement with the EU,’ said a Diageo spokesperson. ‘As with any complex negotiation, compromises will not please everyone, but it is now vital for business confidence that Parliament votes in favour of this deal.
‘A period of much-needed stability will help companies like Diageo to continue to invest in the UK, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs in farming, manufacturing and hospitality.’
SWA chief executive Karen Betts sounds a similar note. ‘We remain supportive of the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration, which would provide our industry with welcome clarity on how the UK will leave the EU, particularly with regard to the continued protection of GIs [Geographical Indications, which help protect Scotch from copycat products], customs procedures and future trade policy. These are all key priorities for the Scotch whisky industry as the UK leaves the EU.’
And if the deal is voted down? Whatever the outcome of the vote, says Betts, it is ‘imperative’ that the government and parliamentarians get their heads together and avoid a no-deal Brexit – which would ‘damage our industry by forcing cost and complexity into the production and export of Scotch whisky’.
‘Cost and complexity’ – but what exactly does that mean? The SWA has identified three main areas of concern: labelling, EU trade deals, and customs and excise processes.
LABELLING CHANGES
To export a bottle of Scotch whisky to an EU country, you need an EU address on the label – either that of the producer or that of the importer. At the moment, many companies list a Scottish address – but, after 29 March, they could well have to feature the address of an EU importer or importers.
Betts explains: ‘A no-deal Brexit could necessitate at least two different label templates from March: one for products sold in the UK; and at least one – in some cases, many more than one – for products destined for the EU.
‘This would significantly increase costs, with companies forced to use shorter bottling runs and manage additional stock keeping units (SKUs) in their inventories.’
Get together: Karen Betts of the SWA wants politicians to unite to avoid a no-deal Brexit
The result, she adds, could be the production of ‘thousands more SKUs at very significant cost’, with the issue also impacting other UK and EU food and drink exporters.
The UK has indicated that it will grant a grace period of six months to help companies adapt to the changes – but no such assurance has yet been reciprocated by the EU. ‘We hope common sense will prevail,’ says Betts.
EU TRADE DEALS
While the UK remains a member of the EU, Scotch whisky benefits from 40 free trade agreements previously ratified between the bloc and non-EU states, including South Korea, the Dominican Republic and Morocco. At the moment, says Betts, ‘we cannot be confident’ that current levels of market access would be maintained in a no-deal scenario.
‘Under a no-deal Brexit, we calculate the loss of these trade benefits would immediately cost the industry about £50m annually in tariffs, without accounting for the long-term impacts on market progression,’ she adds, calling for ‘swift’ action from the government to conclude trade deals with these countries.
CUSTOMS AND EXCISE PROCESSES
At the moment, the UK has access to the EU Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) – a computerised system facilitating the easy movement of Scotch whisky across Europe, with excise tax only paid once it arrives at its destination market. In the event of a no-deal Brexit, this would cease.
‘A no-deal scenario would also mean that export and import declarations would be required for customs clearance at the UK-EU border,’ says Betts. ‘This would be a significant change to the straightforward way in which Scotch whisky enters the EU today, and it would add cost and complexity to those movements.
‘Moreover, we have real concerns about the ability of port operators to cope with significant, last-minute changes to export systems, and the risk of disruption at ports is high.’
‘Mad world’: GlenAllachie’s Billy Walker is upset by the actions of ‘grievance politicians’
Other effects are less easy to measure and predict but, in an interview with The Herald, Inver House Distillers MD Martin Leonard warned that the threat of a no-deal Brexit was ‘already starting to distort the supply chain, with some finished goods [whisky] being moved out to market in advance of the March deadline, and some packaging components brought in on the same basis’.
‘As overall demand is unlikely to change, this will potentially create peaks and troughs in manufacturing and logistics, which could impact on industry efficiency,’ he added.
In a world of efficiency first and the just-in-time movement of goods, a no-deal Brexit has the potential to cause chaos, while stockpiling could create artificial peaks in shipments – followed inevitably by troughs – that are not reflected by natural demand.
Beyond the cool analysis of cause and effect, there’s anger. ‘The world is crazy,’ says Billy Walker, industry veteran and MD of GlenAllachie distillery, who was pro-Remain, but is now backing the Prime Minister’s deal.
‘It upsets me to see so many grievance politicians working against the general national interest. I listen to the television and hear all these alternative politicians saying: “We could get a better deal.”
‘But they don’t tell me what this better deal is, and how they are going to manage it.’

Live: ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Battle of the Seasons
Willam, Detox, Michelle Visage, Pandora Boxx, Ivy Winters, Carmen Carerra, Sharon Needles, Alaska Thunderfuck and Manila Luzon perform in “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Battle of the Seasons. Via Pandora Boxx/Facebook
On Feb. 6, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Battle of the Seasons brought eight performers from the reality television show, as well as host Michelle Visage and RuPaul himself, to Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles for a phenomenal display of theatricality.
Individually, Willam, Alaska Thunderfuck, Pandora Boxx, Sharon Needles, Detox, Manila Luzon, Carmen Carerra and Ivy Winters all took the stage to show off their individual talents at least twice.
Interspersed between performances were videos of the stars backstage and on the road, as well as promotional material from the sixth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” which will premiere on Feb. 24. The entire event was incredibly seamless and professional. But with a lot of dick jokes.
While I would deem the whole evening a success, some performances stood out more than others. My jaw actually dropped in awe at Ivy Winters, who juggled gigantic knives while wearing a tall, silver-horned helmet and walked on stilts to Little Mix’s “Wings.”
Alaska wowed me with her singing talent and impressive vocal range during an impassioned cover of Eric Carmen’s “All By Myself” (a nod, perhaps, to announcing the breakup with longtime boyfriend Needles late last year), as well as her original song “Ru Girl.”
Detox and Willam were fantastic as usual as two thirds of DWV (missing fellow drag queen Vicky Vox, who has not appeared on “Drag Race”) while performing their parody songs “Chow Down (at Chick-fil-A)” and “Boy is a Bottom.” Detox, especially, is not a bad rapper, and her black light shoes were fantastic, although her solo numbers were considerably less interesting. Willam, however, looked amazing, performed flawlessly and had a commanding stage presence throughout. But, of course.
And Needles, my personal favorite and the fifth season winner of “Drag Race,” was as hilarious, creepy and sexy as I’ve always dreamed she would be. For her first number, she was carried onstage in a coffin before launching into “Call Me on the Ouija Board” from her 2013 album “PG-13.” It’s a really, really great goth-pop song with a catchy hook, smart lyrics full of tongue-in-cheek references to classic horror movies and a super polished sound. I actually haven’t stopped listening to it since. In the song, Needles declares, “I’ll be your Carol Anne, / I’ll be your pentagram. / Let’s dabble in the black arts.” Onstage, Needles picks up a dollar bill that was thrown at her and takes a few bites out of it before throwing it back.
Fun aside, there was also talk about the growing popularity of the show and its increasing influence on creating “drag queen society,” which is not entirely an exaggeration. The show and its contestants appeal to a wide range of audience members, reaching many underrepresented demographics. The wide appeal of fun, kitschy drag queens has allowed for stars that use the platform for political advocacy.
Carerra, who came out as a transgender woman after competing on the third season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” has since become a very public proponent for transgender equality. In January, she appeared alongside “Orange is the New Black” star Laverne Cox on Katie Couric’s talk show to speak about transgender issues, and last year, an online petition aimed at persuading Victoria’s Secret to have Carerra as its first transgender model gathered around 45,000 signatures.
Luzon, also a competitor from season three, has been pretty involved in AIDS awareness since appearing on the show. She and other “Drag Race” alumni appear regularly in public service announcements on Logo TV promoting safe sex and HIV testing.
Fittingly enough, the Battle of the Seasons show took place just as I’ve been following another story of drag queen activism unfolding overseas. On Feb. 1, Irish drag queen Panti Bliss spoke (amazingly effectively and eloquently) about gay rights and oppression in Ireland. Shortly thereafter, a video of the speech garnered such international attention that it has been discussed everywhere from Ireland’s houses of parliament to Russia, where anti-gay legislation was famously passed in 2013 to prohibit “propaganda” in support of “non-traditional” sexual orientation.
All of this just makes me feel like there should be way more drag queens occupying political office.

Over 500,000 Students Take University Entrance Exams
Thursday, July 05, 2007 10:16
More than 500,000 students took the first session of entrance examinations for entry into one of 92 universities and institutes across the country, accounting for approximately 70% of the total registered participants.
Students look at the guidance board at University of Education
Statistically, the number of students taking this year’s first session of university entrance examinations is two percent lower than last year.
69% of candidates sat the examination to enter the Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City while 71% tried for the Economics and Industry University. Out of more than 9,000 entrants that registered to take part in examination 1, 395 are from ethnic minority groups.
The most worrying problem facing most students is the number of traffic jams. Yesterday, more than 150,000 contestants traveled to 148 examination sites in Ho Chi Minh City.
Although voluntary students and the police do their best to provide assistance and reduce traffic jams in all streets, traffic congestion was still a problem on some roads in Ho Chi Minh City.
For instance, thousands of students and their parents poured into examination sites for the Agriculture Nong Lam University in Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City’s University of Technical Education and the Industry University, causing traffic jams in the streets of Kha Van Can, Vo Van Ngan and Nguyen Van Bao.
Traffic wardens and district police struggled to clear the streets. Similar conditions occurred in the capital city of Ha Noi where students arrived at examination sites in rush hour, causing congestion in the streets of Tay Son, Chua Boc, Pham Ngoc Thach and Xuan Thuy.
Pupils in Can Tho City and Da Lat faced another problem; they thought that they were allowed to enter the examination room with pocket calculators as they had read in the newspaper; however, examination invigilators of Can Tho University warned them not to bring FX 500MS calculators into examination rooms.
In addition, students were allowed to use Mendeleev’s periodic table in some schools but not in others. The Head of Nha Trang University’s Department of Training, Tran Danh Giang, reaffirmed that the periodic table is not allowed to be taken into examination rooms.
Another obstacle for candidates was the tropical low depression that hit the central coastal provinces from Quang Ngai to Quang Tri yesterday.
The Ministry of Education and training instructed examination councils in schools in affected areas to team-up with local authorities to protect students and the secret examination documents.
The strong winds will bring showers to several parts of central Viet Nam on July 4 and 5, according to Ms. Le Thi Xuan Lan, head of the Southern Hydrometeorology Forecast Office.
In a bid to help students from affected provinces, a program was set up to provide free or cheap accommodation for candidates and their parents to come to Ho Chi Minh City to sit the exams.
To date, more than 10 thousand cheap rental houses and one thousand free accommodations have been made available for them.
The first session of entrance exams for the country's universities are set to take place between July 4 and 5 and the second session will be held on July 9 and 10 with exams for three-year junior colleges taking place on July 15 and 16.

Grail Message
Forerunner Series
In the Light of Truth – The Grail Message, Volume 1 (Paperback)
In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message is a classic work that offers clear and perceptive answers to questions which challenge every human being. Written between the years 1923 - 1937, it is a collection of 168 essays addressing all spheres of life ranging from God and the Universe to the Laws in Creation, the meaning of life, responsibility, free will, intuition and the intellect, the ethereal world and the beyond, justice and love. It answers eternal questions such as what does it mean to be human, what is the purpose of life on Earth, and what happens to "me" when I die. In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message explains the causes and significance of the unprecedented crises facing humanity, and our responsibilities to the future.
Concerning In the Light of Truth: The Grail Message, Abd-ru-shin writes:
"I wish to fill in the gaps which have so far always remained unanswered in the souls of men as burning questions, and which never leave any serious thinker in peace, if he honestly seeks the Truth."
Throughout the Grail Message readers are urged to weigh questions and answers intuitively, to confront them within their own life experiences, and only to believe that which they can perceive inwardly. Only through this process can one reach true conviction in one's life.
Read more about the book "In the Light of Truth – The Grail Message" by Abd-ru-shin here: www.grail-message.com
For your guidance!
The bandage falls, and belief becomes conviction. Liberation and redemption lie only in conviction!
I am addressing earnest seekers only. They must be able and willing to examine this matter objectively! Religious fanatics and irresponsible enthusiasts may hold aloof, for they are detrimental to the Truth. As for the malevolent and prejudiced, they shall find their sentence in the very words.
The Message will strike only those who still carry within them a spark of truth, and the yearning to be true human beings. To all such it will become the shining light and staff. It will lead them unswervingly out of all the chaos of the present-day confusion.
The following Word does not bring a new religion, but is intended as the torch to help all serious listeners or readers find the right path, which leads them to the longed-for height.
Only he who bestirs himself can advance spiritually. The fool who uses extraneous aids for this, in the form of the ready-made opinions of others, only walks his path as if on crutches, while ignoring his own healthy limbs.
But the moment he boldly uses all the abilities which lie dormant within him awaiting his call, to help in his ascent, he is employing the talent entrusted to him in accordance with his Creator’s Will, and will easily overcome all obstacles that seek to divert him.
Therefore awake! Genuine faith lies only in conviction, and conviction comes solely through an inflexible weighing and examining! See that you are truly alive in the wonderful Creation of your God!
What seek ye?
What seek ye? What is all this tumultuous agitation? It permeates the world like a ferment, and a flood of books overwhelms all peoples. Scholars pore over ancient writings, investigating and pondering until spiritually exhausted. Prophets arise to warn, to predict … suddenly from all sides people strive feverishly to spread new light!
Thus it rages now over the troubled soul of mankind, not refreshing and invigorating, but scorching, consuming, absorbing the last vestiges of strength still left to the afflicted one in this gloominess of the present time.
Here and there also a whispering is heard, rumours of a growing expectation of something impending. Every nerve is restless, tense with subconscious longing. There is seething and surging, and over everything lies a kind of ominously brooding stupor. Fraught with disaster. What must it bring? Confusion, despondency and ruin, unless a mighty hand tears asunder the dark layer that now envelops the terrestrial globe spiritually. With the slimy tenacity of a dirty morass, absorbing and smothering every ascending free light-thought before it has become strong; with the gruesome silence of a swamp, suppressing, disintegrating, and destroying every good volition even in the bud, before any action can arise from it.
But the seekers’ cry for light, imbued with strength to cleave through the mire, is turned aside and dies away beneath an impenetrable canopy, assiduously set up by the very people who think they help. They offer stones for bread!
Look at the innumerable books:
They do not animate, they only weary the human spirit! And this is the proof of the barrenness of all they offer; for whatever wearies the spirit is never right.
Spiritual bread immediately refreshes, Truth revitalises and Light animates!
Simple people must surely despair when they see what walls are being built around the beyond by so-called psychic science. Who among the simple is to grasp the learned sentences and strange expressions? Is the beyond, then, intended exclusively for psychic scientists?
They speak of God! But is it necessary to set up a university in order first of all to acquire the abilities to recognise the conception of the Godhead? To what lengths will this mania, which is mostly rooted only in ambition, drive them?
Readers and listeners stagger along like drunkards from one place to another – unsteady, not free in themselves, one-sided, because they have been diverted from the simple path.
Listen, you despondent ones! Lift up your eyes, you who are seriously seeking: The way to the Highest lies open to every human being! Proficiency in learning is not the gate to it!
Did Christ Jesus, that great example on the true path to the Light, choose His disciples among the learned Pharisees? Among the Scribes? He took them from the simple, natural people, because they had no need to struggle against this great delusion that the way to the Light is hard to master, and must be difficult.
This thought is man’s greatest enemy, it is a lie!
Thus turn away from all scientific knowledge, where it is a question of what is most sacred in man, which must be fully grasped! Leave it alone; for science, being a product of the human brain, is piecework and must remain piecework.
Consider, how should scientific knowledge, acquired by laborious study, lead to the Godhead? What, after all, is knowledge? Knowledge is what the brain can conceive. Yet how very limited is the perceptive capacity of the brain, which remains firmly bound to space and time. Even eternity and the meaning of infinity cannot be grasped by a human brain. Just that which is inseparably linked with the Godhead.
But the brain stands silent before the incomprehensible power streaming through all that exists, from which it derives its own activity. The power which everyone intuitively perceives as a matter of course every day, every hour, every moment, whose existence science too has always recognised; whereas with the brain, that is with the knowledge and intellect, one seeks in vain to grasp and comprehend it.
So inadequate is the activity of a brain, the basis and instrument of science, and this limitation naturally also affects what it produces, hence all science itself. Thus science does indeed subsequently help to elucidate, classify and arrange all that it receives ready-made from the creative power which precedes it; but when it seeks to assume leadership or offer criticism, it must inevitably fail so long as it binds itself so firmly to the intellect, that is, to the perceptive capacity of the brain, as it has done hitherto.
For this reason erudition, along with those who adjust themselves to it, always remains clinging to details; whereas each man carries within himself, as a gift, the great inconceivable whole, and is fully capable of attaining to the noblest and highest without laborious study!
Therefore away with this needless torture of spiritual enslavement! Not for nothing does the great Master exhort us: “Become like children!”
He who bears within himself the firm volition for what is good, and strives to give purity to his thoughts, has already found the way to the Highest! All else will then be added unto him. This requires neither books, nor spiritual strain; neither asceticism, nor solitude. He will become sound in body and soul, freed from all pressure of morbid pondering; for all exaggeration is harmful. You are meant to be human beings, not hothouse plants which through one-sided cultivation succumb to the first puff of wind!
Awake! Look around you! Listen to your inner voice! That alone can open the way!
Heed not the dissensions of the churches. The great Bringer of Truth, Christ Jesus, the personification of Divine Love, did not concern Himself with creeds. After all, what are the creeds today? A shackling of the free spirit of man, enslavement of the Divine spark dwelling within you; dogmas that seek to compress the work of the Creator, and also His great Love, into forms moulded by the human mind. This indicates a dishonouring of Divinity, a systematic disparaging.
Every serious seeker is repulsed by such things, because they prevent him from ever experiencing the great reality within himself. As a result his longing for the Truth becomes increasingly hopeless, and finally he despairs of himself and of the world!
Therefore awake! Shatter the walls of dogma within you, tear off the bandage, so that the pure Light of the Highest may reach you undimmed. Then your spirit will soar aloft in exultation, jubilantly sensing all the great Love of the Father, which knows no limitations of earthly intellect. You will at last know that you are a part of this Love; you will grasp It easily and completely, unite with It, and thus gain new strength daily and hourly as a gift, enabling you to ascend out of the chaos as a matter of course!
The call for the Helper
Just let us look more closely at all those people who today with special eagerness are seeking a spiritual helper, those who, inwardly uplifted, are awaiting him. In their opinion they themselves are already thoroughly prepared spiritually to recognise him and to hear his word!
On calm observation we notice a great many factions. Christ’s Mission, for instance, affected so many people in a strange way. They formed a false picture of it. As usual, this was due to their wrong self-assessment, their presumption.
Instead of the former veneration and the preservation of a natural gulf and sharp demarcation towards their God, there has arisen on the one hand a plaintive begging which always wants only to receive, but on no account to contribute anything itself. They certainly accepted the “pray”, but refused to acknowledge that this was also coupled with “and work” – “work on yourself”.
Again, on the other hand, people imagine they are so self-reliant, so independent, that they can do everything themselves, and with a little effort even become Divine.
There are also many people who only demand and expect God to run after them. Inasmuch as He had already once sent His Son, He proved thereby how greatly concerned He is that mankind should draw near to Him, indeed that He probably even needs them!
Wherever one turns there is nothing but presumption to be found in all things, no humility. True self-assessment is lacking. –
In order really to be a human being, and begin his ascent as such, it is first of all necessary for man to descend from his artificial height.
Today, spiritually puffed up, he is sitting in a tree at the foot of the mountain, instead of standing with both feet firmly and securely on the ground. Thus unless he first comes down or falls from the tree he will obviously never be able to climb the mountain.
Meanwhile, however, all those who went their way calmly and sensibly on the ground beneath his tree, and upon whom he looked down so haughtily, have probably arrived at the summit.
But events will come to his aid; for in the very near future the tree will fall. When he is so roughly shaken down from his precarious perch, perhaps man will then once more come to his senses. But for him it will then be high time, he has not a single hour left to waste.
Many now think that life can continue in the old way, as it has done for thousands of years. Stretched out comfortably in their armchairs, they are awaiting a strong helper.
But how do they depict this helper! It is really pathetic!
In the first place they expect or, just to be quite correct, demand that he should prepare the way upward to the Light for each individual! He must exert himself to build bridges to the path of the Truth for the adherents of every religious faith! He must make it so easy and intelligible that everyone can understand it without effort. His words must be so chosen that their rightness will immediately convince one and all.
As soon as man must exert himself and think for himself, then the helper is not a proper helper. For if he is called to lead and to show the right way through his word, he must then naturally also exert himself for men. It is his duty to convince men, to awaken them! After all, Christ also gave His life.
Those who think in this way today – and there are many who do so – need not begin to trouble themselves, for they are like the foolish virgins, they face the “too late”!
The helper will surely not awaken them, but will let them sleep quietly on until the gate is closed and they can find no entrance into the Light, because they cannot free themselves in time from the sphere of matter, for which the word of the helper showed them the way.
For man is not as valuable as he imagined. God does not need him, but he does need his God!
Since in their so-called progress mankind today no longer know what they really want, they will at last have to experience what they must!
As they both seek and criticise in a supercilious way, this type of people will pass by, just as even at that time so many also passed by Him for Whose coming everything had already been prepared through the revelations.
How can one possibly envisage a spiritual helper thus!
He will not budge an inch to make concessions to mankind, and wherever he is expected to give he will demand!
That man who is capable of serious reflection, however, will immediately recognise that just this strict and uncompromising demand for attentive thinking contains what is best, and what mankind, already so deeply entangled in spiritual indolence, need for their salvation! It is just by demanding spiritual alertness right from the beginning, together with an earnest volition and self-exertion for the understanding of his words, that a helper easily separates the grain from the chaff already at the outset. An automatic working lies in this, as it is in the Divine Laws. Here, too, men receive exactly according to their actual volition. –
But there is yet another class of people who fancy themselves particularly alert!
Naturally these have formed an entirely different picture of a helper, as can be read from reports. It is no less grotesque, however, for they expect him to be … a spiritual acrobat!
In any case, thousands already suppose that clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, etc., indicate great progress, which is really not so. These arts, whether acquired, cultivated, or even a natural gift, can never rise above the constraint of this earth, thus they only operate within low limits, can never claim to any height, and are therefore almost worthless.
Is that the way to help the ascent of mankind – showing them, or teaching them to see and hear, ethereal things which are on the same level as they are?
This has nothing to do with the actual ascent of the spirit, and is to equally little purpose for earthly happenings! They are minor spiritual tricks, nothing more, interesting to the individual, but utterly useless to mankind as a whole!
That all such people wish for the same kind of helper, but one even more proficient than themselves, is indeed readily understandable. –
Yet there are a great many who carry matters much further in this respect, even to the point of absurdity. And who are nevertheless perfectly serious about it.
For example, one of the fundamental conditions they impose to prove he is genuine is that a helper … must be immune from catching a cold! He who does so is already disqualified; for in their opinion this does not correspond to an ideal helper. At all events, a strong helper must as a first essential be completely above these trifles with his spirit.
This may sound fanciful and ridiculous; but it is only based on facts, and suggests a faint repetition of the former cry: “If Thou be the Son of God, save Thyself and come down from the cross!” – They are already calling out the same today, even before such a helper is in sight at all!
Poor, ignorant men! He who trains his body so one-sidedly that it is rendered temporarily insensible under the power of the spirit is by no means great or eminent. Those who admire him are like children of former times, watching with open mouth and shining eyes the antics of travelling clowns, and filled with a burning desire to emulate them.
And a great many so-called spirit-seekers or God-seekers of today are no further advanced in the spiritual field than the children of bygone days were in this quite earthly field!
Just let us consider a little further: The vagrants of olden times, of whom I have just spoken, developed themselves increasingly and became acrobats in circus and music-hall. Their skill grew prodigious, and even now thousands of sophisticated people watch these feats every day in perpetual wonder, often inwardly shuddering.
Yet do they themselves gain anything from it? What do they take away with them after such hours? Although many an acrobat even risks his life during his performances. Nothing whatever! For even at the peak of perfection all these things will always remain strictly limited to music-hall and the circus. They will always serve only to amuse, but never lead to any advantage for mankind.
Yet people now look for such acrobatic feats in the spiritual field as the standard by which to measure the great helper!
Let such people keep their spiritual clowns! They will soon enough experience where this leads! They have really no idea what they are actually pursuing thereby. They imagine that only he is great whose spirit so controls his body that it no longer suffers illness!
All such development is one-sided, and one-sidedness brings only what is unhealthy and diseased! These things do not strengthen the spirit, but only weaken the body! The balance necessary for healthy harmony between body and spirit is disturbed, and as a result such a spirit finally severs itself much sooner from the maltreated body, which can no longer provide the strong healthy resonance needed for earthly experience. But then the spirit lacks this experience, and enters the beyond while still immature. It will have to live its earth-life once again.
These are spiritual tricks, nothing more, performed at the expense of the earthly body, which should in reality help the spirit. The body belongs to an epoch in the spirit’s development. But if it is weakened and suppressed it cannot be of much use to the spirit either; for its radiations are too feeble to provide the full power that the spirit needs in the World of Matter.
If a man wishes to suppress an illness he must spiritually bring about the pressure of an ecstasy on the body, just as in a minor degree fear of the dentist may suppress toothache.
The body may be able to stand such intense stimulation once, perhaps even several times, unharmed, but not continually without suffering serious damage.
And if that is the practice or advice of a helper, he is not worthy to be a helper; for he is thereby transgressing the Natural Laws in Creation. Man on earth should cherish his body as property entrusted to him, and strive to achieve healthy harmony between spirit and body. To disturb this through one-sided suppression is neither progress nor ascent, but a decisive obstacle to the fulfilment of his task on earth, as in the World of Matter in general. The full power of the spirit as regards its effectiveness in the World of Matter is thereby lost, since this definitely calls for the strength of a physical body which is not enslaved but which harmonises with the spirit!
He who is accounted master on such grounds is less than a pupil who knows nothing whatever of the tasks of the human spirit, nor of what is required for its development! He is even detrimental to the spirit.
They will come soon enough to the painful recognition of their folly.
Every false helper, however, will have to undergo bitter experiences! His ascent in the beyond can only begin when the very last of all those whom he has held up or even led astray by spiritual trifling has come to recognition. As long as his books and writings continue to influence men on earth, he will be held fast in the next world, even if in the meantime he has come to a better understanding there.
He who recommends occult training gives men stones instead of bread, thereby proving that he has not even the faintest idea of what actually takes place in the beyond, still less of the complete mechanism of the Universe! –

Winston Trew
Winston Trew said his life fell apart after he served eight months in prison
Three men who were jailed nearly 50 years ago on the evidence of a corrupt police officer have had their convictions quashed.
Winston Trew, Sterling Christie, now both 69, and George Griffiths, 67, were accused of stealing handbags in 1972.
The group known as the Oval Four were jailed for eight months for assaulting a police officer and attempted theft.
The Court of Appeal overturned the convictions due to the unreliability of a detective’s evidence.
The judge described it as “a very unhappy story”.
The men, who belonged to a political organisation representing black people in London, were aged between 19 and 23 at the time.
They were arrested with another man, Constantine “Omar” Boucher, at Oval tube station in by officers who accused them of mugging women.
A plain clothes police operation was set up on the Northern Line led by Det Sgt Derek Ridgewell, who was later jailed for seven years for conspiracy to steal.

The Rough Guide to Folk WITH JAKE XERXES FUSSELL
Upon the release of his third solo album, the delightful Out Of Sight, US folklorist Jake Xerxes Fussell walks Chris Parkin through the folk and country blues records that are important to him
One of traditional folk music’s less pleasing traits has been the tendency for its protagonists to engage in bouts of territorial pissing. But Jake Xerxes Fussell is having none of it. After watching bluegrass enthusiasts and old-time string bands stare daggers at each other at fiddlers’ conventions across the Southern states, the isn’t much interested in any inhibiting and arbitrary divides.
Fussell grew up in Columbus, Georgia, the child of folklorists, and is steeped in the Southern folk vernacular. And yet his easy-going albums, all back-porch guitar and homespun vocals, offer more than that, weaving in pre-war jazz, early country and obscure, centuries-old ballads. On 2017s name-making album, What In The Natural World, the found room for Duke Ellington’s Jump For Joy alongside Have You Ever Seen Peaches Growing On A Sweet Potato Vine? by Worth County folk-blues man Jimmy Lee Williams. His latest (third) album continues in the same vein.
Out Of Sight - Fussell’s first album with a full band - is a collection of intimate but pepped-up and eerily topical songs about working, loving and drinking, made more prescient still by its contemporary-sounding flourishes and river-clear electric guitar. With his song choices, Fussell paints a fuller and richer picture of folksong than most self-declared traditionalists ever manage.
“I’m not an obscurantist”, the tells us, “but part of what I’m doing is turning the audience on to something they might not have heard. I’ll draw out some aspect of a song that might be interesting to me that’s not just impersonating whatever recording I heard. Sometimes I’m more faithful, but sometimes it doesn’t need any embellishment or trickery. It just needs to be what it is.”

‘Gaddafi may be heading for Venezuela’
By DPA, IANS
BRUSSELS - British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Monday he had “some information” that Libyan leader Muammer Gaddafi was en route to Venezuela.
Libya has been rocked by a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests in recent days. The demonstrations followed popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia which drove those countries’ leaders into exile.
“I have no information that says he is (already there), although I have seen some information that suggests he is on his way there at the moment,” Hague said in Brussels.
Aides to Hague said the foreign minister was not merely relying on media reports.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with European Union counterparts which was largely dominated by the Libyan crisis. Ministers called in a joint statement for an “immediate end” to the crackdown, which has already cost scores of lives.
Hague said that the statement showed “the common determination of the EU nations that there should be restraint instead of violence, that there should be dialogue instead of repression in Libya and that human rights should be respected.”
However, the statement stopped short of calling for sanctions on Gaddafi and his allies, after Italy, in particular, lobbied against such a move.
Hague made his comments on Gaddafi’s possible flight after rumours circulated at the meeting that the Libyan dictator might already have fled the country he has ruled for over four decades.
However, the EU’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, who chaired the meeting, said that she did not “know anything about Venezuela and President Gaddafi”.
EU diplomats on the fringes of the meeting said that the reports of Gaddafi’s flight were “unfounded rumours”.

BUY NOW: Captivating the Simple-Hearted
In the midst of a society dominated by the caste system and foreign invasions, new leaders arose to introduce a philosophy and lifestyle which captivated the simple-hearted, brought human dignity to the downtrodden masses, and continues to impact the lives and futures of all Mulnivasi Bahujan (original people in the majority).
Captivating Review
“The authors compellingly argue for the suffering millions to derive inspiration from the Sikh Revolution which envisioned India as a modern, casteless, classless society with equitable mobility and which galvanized the masses through a long period.”
— Dr. Manisha Bangar
“The book probes what it means to be Sikh and brings important questions of Sikh resistance into the forefront with a wide spectrum of historical accounts that rupture hegemonic discourses.”
— Professor Indira Prahst
The Constitution of India Simplified (2018)
Although political circles refer the Constitution of India as a “sacred” document which has guided the inner workings of the “world’s largest democracy” since 1950, it has mysteriously escaped critical inquiry. Why? Is it because of its bulkiness? Its complexity? Its inconsistencies and contradictions?
The Constitution of India Simplified invites the common person to examine the internals of the Indian Constitution in order to comprehend its basic contents and discover how to make a little sense out of the document’s seemingly bewildering set of principles.
Gandhi Under Cross-Examination (2009)
The authors cross-examine Indian political icon Mohandas Gandhi’s claim that he was subjected to racial prejudice in South Africa in 1839, using it as a catalyst to overview his views and actions towards black Africans during his 21-year legal career in colonial South Africa.
Captivating the Simple-Hearted (2017)
In the midst of a society dominated by the caste system and foreign invasions, new leaders arose to introduce a philosophy and lifestyle which captivated the simple-hearted, brought human dignity to the downtrodden masses, and continues to impact the Indian Subcontinent.
Captivating the Simple-Hearted focuses on the origins, development, and beliefs of the Sikh community, placing their history in context of the broader history of the region and the anti-caste struggle which traces back to Gautama Buddha.
Praise for Captivating the Simple-Hearted
“Captivating is a timely work that interrogates the structure of caste and its impact on marginalized peoples of South Asia. The work weaves a rich brocade of history, ideology, and praxis that has been put to use by the elite at the apex of the caste pyramid to subjugate hundreds of millions of people in one of the most oppressive nations on earth.”
Dr. Harpreet Singh
Professor of South Asian Traditions and Languages, Harvard University
“The authors compellingly argue for the suffering millions to derive inspiration from the Sikh Revolution, which envisioned India as a modern, casteless, classless society with equitable mobility and which galvanized the masses through a long period.”
Dr. Manisha Bangar
National Vice-President, All India Backward (SC, ST, OBC) And Minority Communities Employees Federation
“Captivating probes what it means to be Sikh and brings important questions of Sikh resistance into the forefront with a wide spectrum of historical accounts that rupture hegemonic discourses.”
Indira-Natasha Prasht
Sociologist, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Langara College, Vancouver
“This little book has a potential of forging solidarity among the victims of horrendous Hindutva majoritarianism for a future egalitarian society as it is solidly based on the rich heritage of emancipatory movements, Sikhism in particular.”
Dr. Rajkumar Hans
Former Professor of History, M.S. University of Baroda

US Combatant Commanders Agree Army Becoming ‘Dangerously Small’

US Chief of Staff Warns Army Too Small to Deter Global Threats
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The future plan to reduce the US Army down to 450,000 active duty soldiers will leave the service too small to meet its needs, Combatant Commanders told the US Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.
"We are getting dangerously small," Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Lloyd Austin said when asked about the size of the US Army compared to the growing need for the country’s armed forces.
Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Commander General Joseph Votel pointed out the US Army is at "high risk" because of the decline in forces and the high demand for US military power.

Goodbye, Superpower Status? Obama Is 'Most Culpable' in US Military Decline
The Army is facing increasing demands across the spectrum of US military operations, from current counterterrorism activities to "threats from the four major challenges out there… [North] Korea, Iran, China and Russia," Votel noted.
In late 2015, the US Army rolled out a troop reduction plan that would leave it with a force strength of 450,000 by mid-2018. The reduction represents a cut of more than 20 percent from the 120,000 soldiers in 2012.

Childhood injury prevention in a suburban Massachusetts population.
1991 Jul-Aug
Public Health Rep. 106(4):437-442
Bass, J L ; Mehta, K A ; Ostrovsky, M ;
Bass, J L ; Mehta, K A ; Ostrovsky, M Less ▲
A controlled population-based study of a childhood injury prevention program in four suburban Massachusetts communities was able to demonstrate a 15.3 percent decrease in injury rates for children ages 0-5 years. A substantial improvement was seen in the relative risk for injury in the intervention as compared with control communities. The major intervention was a pediatric counseling program taking place within a context of various community education efforts. Process data on patient satisfaction and physician compliance, and educational and behavioral outcomes from previously reported studies, when combined with injury incidence data in this report, support the hypothesis that physician counseling may be an important factor in the favorable results observed in these suburban communities. These data also suggest that a decrease in injury incidence may be possible when interactive physician counseling takes place within the context of community education programs. A comprehensive strategy that includes technological, legislative, and educational activities is suggested as the optimal approach to childhood injury prevention.

"Advanced communication and monitoring systems were developed and demonstrated in three underground mines representing different mining techniques, geographical areas, and material mined. The first was a large coal mine in western Pennsylvania using room-and- pillar techniques and continuous mining methods. The system developed provided private telephone channels, environmental monitoring, and control of underground equipment, all on a single coaxial cable, with all system operations under the direction of a minicomputer. The second was a magnetite ore mine in eastern Pennsylvania that used block caving mining techniques. A radio system was developed that provided two-way communications between trackless vehicles and roving personnel. A unique system of UHF-VHF repeaters combined with a "leaky-feeder" transmission line offered operational and emergency features not previously found in mine communication systems. The third was a deep silver mine in the Cour d'Alene District of Idaho. This system utilizes a single wire pair to provide up to 14 voice channels. A combination of pbx, telephone carrier systems, and intercom offered private conversations, selective signaling, and emergency backup communications." - NIOSHTIC-2

Dakota Access Pipeline Ruling – MAIN Coalition’s Statement.
“We are pleased that Judge Boasberg’s reasonable decision will allow work to move forward on the Dakota Access Pipeline. The company has received all needed approvals, invested billions of dollars across four states, and worked to be good partners in this – one of the largest private infrastructure projects ever developed in the U.S.
Had the decision been different, it most certainly would have had a chilling effect on domestic infrastructure development and the U.S. economy as no sane American company would dare invest the time and resources necessary for proper consultations and approvals only to have its project shuttered halfway through.
While we certainly recognize the emotionally charged atmosphere at the site and elsewhere, we are hopeful that all parties will follow the law, peaceably demonstrate, and ultimately move forward together in support of a better future for all individuals and communities concerned.”

Although no contract has been signed, terms have been agreed by both parties for the New Zealander to lead the Lions for a third time. Gatland has already overseen a winning tour of Australia in and a drawn series against the All Blacks four years later. Wales won the Six Nations in March, extending their record-breaking run of winning matches to Since taking over with Wales in December , Gatland has led his team to three Grand Slams and become the longest-serving coach in their history. Gatland's start date with the Lions has yet to be confirmed, but given he will be a free agent after the World Cup, that is not considered to be a problem. He was appointed less than a year before the Lions' tour of New Zealand, after the schedule had been decided. His early appointment this time will give him a chance to be involved in the advance detail and planning of the tour. Furthermore, an announcement now will ensure Gatland can concentrate fully on preparing Wales' World Cup campaign, with the squad meeting for a preliminary training camp in the coming weeks.

What is bone broth?
Historically, bone broth has been part of culinary traditions worldwide. Today, however, bone broth is one of the hottest trends. In fact, bone broth takeout windows have popped up to serve their broths to bone broth enthusiasts. Some even refer to bone broth as a “superfood,” and for good reason.
Bone broth can be made from any animal with bones, but many of the popular sources of these broths include chicken, turkey, beef and fish. While it is typically made with bone, it can also contain a small amount of meat adhering to the bones.
Bone broth is simmered for a long period of time—usually for at least 8 hours and sometimes as much as 24 hours to 48 hours. The purpose of this long cooking process is not only to produce gelatin from collagen-rich joints, but to also release small amounts of trace minerals from bones.
Are there any benefits of bone broth?
Brimming with certain nutrients, some of the benefits often attributed to bone broth include support for joints, bones, skin, hair and nails. That’s because, generally speaking, bone broth is rich in collagen, gelatin, glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid.
Bone broth is also filled with amino acids, such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline as well as the minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium. Bone broth can even offer a great way to replenish electrolytes after a workout.
Does bone broth contain collagen?
Yes; bone broth typically does contain collagen, depending on the source of the bone broth.
For example, bone broth made from chicken and/or turkey is usually rich in collagen Type II. Collagen Type II is found in the cartilage, bones and other tissues in animals and humans—and is a major component of joint cartilage.
Bone broth made from beef is typically rich in collagen Type I and Type III, while bone broth made from fish is usually rich in collagen Type I. Type I collagen is among the most abundant collagen found in the human body and forms collagen fibers. For that reason, it's also one of the most common forms of collagen found in collagen supplements. It’s present in ligaments, tendons, bones and other areas. Type III collagen frequently works in tandem with Type I collagen and is in bone, cartilage, bone marrow and connective tissues. Types I and III are the major components of skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth, eyes and blood vessels.
What herbs or seasonings are sometimes added to bone broth?
Bone broth can be great by itself, but some of the most popular things people add are onions, garlic, astragalus, turmeric, ginger, rosemary, thyme and parsley.
What’s the difference between a protein powder made from bone broth versus one made from whey?
It’s no surprise that protein supplements are popular items, and there are many kinds on the market. In fact, it seems that there’s protein breakthrough after protein breakthrough. One of the newest of the protein breakthroughs on the protein scene is a protein supplement made from bone broth.
A protein powder made from bone broth is generally made from concentrated bone broth, and is typically filled with nutrients such as collagen, gelatin, glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid PLUS certain amino acids and minerals.
A protein powder made from whey includes whey protein, a mixture of globular proteins isolated from whey, which is the liquid or watery material from milk that separates from the curds during the making of cheese. Whey protein is rich in amino acids.

When Location Transcends the Brand
Majestic mountain ranges, sprawling canyons and barren deserts define the landscapes of the American Southwest. On a recent US road trip, I observed how three luxury properties: Amangiri and Lazalu in Utah; and Dunton Hot Springs in Colorado, are using these iconic landscapes to define their brand by creating a space and atmosphere that transcend traditional branding strategies.
Prev article All Articles Next article
Using the landscape as a rite of passage
While grand gateways, flashy signage and uniformed staff are permanent fixtures welcoming you to some of the top hotels in the world, at the approach to these three properties any sign of their presence is deliberately subtle and minimal.
Drive up to the main entrance at Amangiri’s 600-acre property and you will find a very basic metal gate connected to a small intercom. As you announce yourself and are buzzed in, the gate opens to a long winding road with only open fields and canyons in sight. The hotel is set a fair distance from the entrance and as you drive through the desert landscape it’s not until 3-4 km in that there is any sign of the hotel – a rustic ‘Amangiri’ sign to reassure that you are headed in the right direction.
This journey in is a rite of passage, an introduction to the landscapes and a way of setting the atmosphere. It evokes the feeling that you are truly entering somewhere special, somewhere a world away. It’s also an introduction to the brand which is defined by its landscapes. At Dunton Hot Springs, it is a lengthy drive amongst towering pines and wild deer on the unpaved roads that curve around the San Juan Mountains. At Lazalu, it is a harrowing drive atop narrow canyons winding through Zion National Park.
Blending in – when branded, Instagrammable moments become every moment
Common sense would dictate that building the largest, most extravagant building will garner the most attention. This new crop of luxury hotels are finding success doing the exact opposite. Dunton Hot Springs has reclaimed an old mining town, taking many of its original features and building new log cabins to match. Amangiri has exercised the utmost care to respect the landscape with its minimalist form and concrete structures, tinted in tones to match the surrounding canyons. At Lazalu, the low profile of the buildings and use of glass, adobe, wood and natural stone allow it to blend in and become a part of its landscape.
By respecting and championing their environments, these properties have created unique spaces that are unmistakably their own, granting them an unparalleled level of brand recognition without the use of a logo. Branded Instagrammable moments become every moment because the landscape has become the brand – all without an overwhelming element of branding sitting in the middle of the pool. Take any image of any one of these properties and it is unlikely to be mistaken for any other property, anywhere in the world.
Do you need a logo?
When a hotel is successful in making its location the brand, the use of the logo becomes somewhat redundant. This is especially true in this social media era where every image shared is tagged by location and contains mentions that directly link back to the hotel anyway.
This doesn’t spell the end of the logo, but more possibly the use of the logo in the physical space where its presence may be unwarranted and even obtrusive (read more about this here). It also means a move to more destination-based marketing activities that strengthen the connection between the brand and the landscape.

Europe’s Response to Turkey’s Syria Invasion
3 months ago Institute
Aurelien Meunier/Getty Images)
Across Europe, politicians are considering their responses to the shock of Turkey’s invasion of north east Syria. It remains unclear whether there will be a unified European approach to Ankara’s military move, which has thrust Syria and the Kurdish question back into the international limelight
So far, the European Union has issued a declaration by the High Representative, Federica Mogherini, calling upon “Turkey to cease the unilateral military action. Renewed armed hostilities in the north-east will further undermine the stability of the whole region, exacerbate civilian suffering and provoke further displacements. Prospects for the UN-led political process to achieve peace in Syria will be more difficult”.
Member States have since met to “discuss how far they are ready to go on some measures that are on the table when it comes to the Turkish military activities in Syria”.
The High Representative also expressed grave concern that Turkey’s incursion could lead to an ISIS revival in Syria following a long campaign to defeat the group, which cost 11,000 Kurdish lives.
Within EU member states, there are demands for a strong response.
France’s President Emmanuel Macron held a joint news conference with Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and said the Turkish invasion – over which both countries have decided to suspend arms exports to Ankara – risked escalating into an “unbearable humanitarian situation”.
“Our common wish is that the offensive must cease” Macron told reporter. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte of Italy, one of Ankara’s main arms suppliers, said he would press for an EU ban on arms sales to Turkey.
In Sweden the opposition Left Party is urging the government to push for an EU arms embargo on Turkey. Håkan Svenneling, the Left Party’s spokesman on foreign affairs told Radio Sweden that a strong EU response would force Turkey to “rethink the invasion and stop the invasion”.
In the UK, the Conservative government has issued a statement saying that they “do not support the action” of Turkey. But the opposition Labour party is being pushed harder. Lloyd Russell-Moyle MP, who chairs the all-party parliamentary group on north-east Syria, called on the UK “to suspend sharing any intelligence information with Turkey so they can’t use it against one of our allies” and provide further support to the Kurdish military, the Syrian Democratic Forces.
However, some EU states have close ties to Turkey, notably through NATO, and a unified response that would pressure Turkey to scale back its operation might prove to be out of reach.

Bava Metzia 113a-b: The Rules of Collateral
Our Mishna discusses the practice of taking a mashkon – collateral, an object that serves as a guarantee – on a loan. The Torah teaches ( Devarim 24:10-13) that a lender cannot enter the borrower’s house to take a mashkon, rather he must wait outside for the borrower to bring it out to him. Furthermore, if the borrower is poor and the object is one that he needs, the lender must return it to him when he needs it. The Mishna specifies that if the guarantee is a pillow, it must be returned at night; if it is a plow it must be returned during the working day.
It appears that there are several different kinds of “loan guarantees.” When the two parties agree to a mashkon at the time of the loan, none of these rules apply, and it need not be returned until the loan has been paid. Another type of “guarantee” occurs when the time for payment has passed and the lender takes something that belongs to the borrower as payment – or to pressure the borrower to pay. According to Rabbeinu Tam and the Ra’avad, in this case, as well, the mashkon need not be returned until the loan is paid. Our Mishna is discussing a different case – when the mashkon is taken at some point during the period of the loan to act as a “reminder” that the loan will come due and will have to be paid. In such a case, as the Mishna teaches, the mashkon can only be taken under the supervision of the beit din and it will have to be returned to the borrower when needed.
Both the amora’im and the rishonim present the obvious question. What point is there is having a “guarantee” of a loan if it must be returned whenever the borrower needs it? The Gemara points out that there are certain advantages to holding such a mashkon, e.g. should the Sabbatical year – which ordinarily erases such debt – occur, holding a mashkon would ensure that the loan remains in force and collectible. Furthermore, if the borrower dies, the holder of such a mashkon would not have to return it to the borrower’s children. Tosafot quote Rabbeinu Elhanan as offering another reason, as well. He suggests that the bother of retrieving and returning the mashkon on a regular basis would act to encourage the borrower to repay the loan as soon as it comes due.
This essay is based upon the insights and chidushim of Rabbi Steinsaltz, as published in the English version of the Koren Talmud Bavli with Commentary by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, and edited and adapted by Rabbi Shalom Berger.

Jamal James Returns to Battle Abel Ramos April 13th
Mar 15 2018 4:08 AM
Jamal James Returns to Battle Abel Ramos – MINNEAPOLIS (March 14, 2018) – Welterweight contender Jamal James will get a chance to fight in front of his hometown crowd when he takes on Abel Ramos in a 10-round welterweight battle that headlines a huge night of action on Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes Friday, April 13 from the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In the co-main event, rugged veteran Edner Cherry battles rising lightweight Dennis Galarza in a 10-round bout. The action continues with Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert clashing in an eight-round match between unbeaten super featherweight prospects that kicks off the broadcast at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT. Also appearing on the card is sensational 17-year-old 154-pound prospect Joey Spencer (1-0, 1 KO), a former No. 1 ranked amateur and nine-time national champion.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, go on sale Friday, March 16 and will be available by visiting www.ArmoryMN.com.
The April 13 event marks the return of boxing to the Minneapolis Armory, a historicvenue that hosted nearly 100 cards between 1915 and 1973, including a show headlined by all-time great Sugar Ray Robinson in 1942.
“Warriors Boxing is thrilled that PBC, FS1 and FOX Deportes are bringing professional boxing back to Minneapolis on Friday, April 13,” said Leon Margules, President of Warriors Boxing. “There couldn’t be a more fitting venue than the newly renovated, historic Minnesota Armory in downtown Minneapolis. The Armory has a rich boxing tradition and has not hosted a boxing event for 45 years. It will be a great night for the highly acclaimed PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes series in this beautiful and historic building.”
“Jamal James has staked his position as a rising contender in the welterweight division and has the kind of fan-friendly style that fits perfectly in the talent-rich 147-pound class,” said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “Ramos doesn’t back down and will certainly test Jamal in front of his hometown crowd. Dennis Galarza will face his own challenge when he goes up against the tough veteran Edner Cherry and it’s a rare treat to see two young unbeaten prospects like Dulay and Colbert squaring off this early in their careers. All the fights have a significant bearing on the future of the boxers involved and that will work out well for the fans.”
James (22-1, 10 KOs) is coming off the biggest victory of his career – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Dec. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James hasn’t fought in his hometown of Minneapolis since he scored a unanimous decision over Mohammed Kayongo in 2013.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to compete on this platform and to show the nation and the world that Minnesota has great fighters and an enthusiastic fan base for boxing,” said James. “Abel Ramos is a tough guy who will come to fight, but coming off the big win over Chaves, I’m in a position in my career where I’m trying to reach that world championship level. I have to continue to demonstrate the ability to perform under pressure in difficult fights. I know he’s coming to pull off an upset, but that’s not happening.”
Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KOs) will complete his move to the welterweight division by taking on James after making his welterweight debut with a stoppage of Emmanuel Robles last July. The 26-year-old out of Arizona has won three of his last four fights and his only pro defeats have come at the hands of top 140-pound contenders Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk.
“I’m a real Mexican warrior and I never back down from a fight,” said Ramos. “I’m not worried about going into Jamal James hometown and fighting him there. I’m going to disappoint Jamal and all his fans in Minneapolis, because I’m coming to win.”
Cherry (36-7-2, 19 KOs) has defeated once-beaten contenders Haskell Rhodes and Omar Douglas since losing a split decision to Jose Pedraza in a 130-pound world title match in 2015. The 35-year-old Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has previously challenged Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi during his career that included a 10-fight win streak after the Bradley bout.
“Dennis Galarza is a great, young fighter who is on the rise, coming to win and looking to become a world champion, but he is in for a real fight,” said Cherry. “I’m not taking this fight lightly, I’m getting ready, and I’m ready to go all out on April 13. After this, I hope I’ll get my third opportunity at a world title. I took the Lydell Rhodes, Omar Douglas and Jose Pedraza fights because I’m a warrior who wants the opportunity to fight the best, and, ultimately, to fight for a world title. The Pedraza fight didn’t go my way on the scorecards, but the whole world knows the true outcome of that fight. I went back to work and I’m ready to prove it again.”
Galarza (16-2, 9 KOs), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.
“My eyes have been on Edner as a friend and as a fan since I was young, but this is business and I’m going to be ready,” said Galarza. “Edner is a true warrior who never lets up and a crafty veteran who has fought a lot of great competition. The Pedraza fight I thought he possibly did win. A lot of people duck Edner Cherry because he beat top guys in Rhodes and Douglas his past two fights, plus he can punch with power. People think Edner’s going to break me down, but I took the fight that nobody wants to take. I believe in my talents and I’m ready to make my mark. This fight will demonstrate the type of fighter that I am.”
It is rare to see a match between two young prospects on the rise this early in their careers, but Dulay and Colbert are both eager for that challenge. Dulay (11-0, 8 KOs) was busy last year, fighting four times with only one fight going the distance. The 22-year-old southpaw from Nashville, Tennessee most recently scored a TKO victory over Carlos Padilla last August.
Colbert (7-0, 2 KOs) has one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York City as he fights out of the renowned Atlas Cops and Kids Gym in Brooklyn. The 21-year-old is noted for his blazing hand and foot speed and he enters this fight coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Titus Williams last November.

Jack Ma officially retires as Alibaba’s chairman
Catherine Shu @catherineshu / 5 months
Jack Ma stepped down as Alibaba’s chairman today, handing the role over to the company’s current CEO, Daniel Zhang. The transition was announced a year ago.
Ma will continue serving on Alibaba’s board until its annual general shareholders’ meeting next year. He also remains a lifetime partner of Alibaba Partnership, a group drawn from the senior management ranks of Alibaba Group companies and affiliates that has the right to nominate (and in some situations, appoint) up to simple majority of its board.
Ma said in last year’s announcement that he plans for his departure from Alibaba Group to be very gradual: “The one thing I can promise everyone is this: Alibaba was never about Jack Ma, but Jack Ma will forever belong to Alibaba.”
Ma left Alibaba’s CEO position in 2013 and was succeeded first by Jonathan Lu. In 2015 Lu was replaced by Zhang, the company’s former COO. As its CEO and now its chairman, Zhang has taken Alibaba’s reins as it copes with a slowdown in China’s e-commerce market after a decade of explosive growth. The online retail landscape also now includes new players like Pinduoduo, which have gained an advantage by focusing on smaller cities, which are important growth markets for internet companies.
One interesting fact about the day Ma chose for his retirement as chairman is that it is Teachers’ Day in China. Ma is a former English teacher who is still nicknamed “Teacher Ma” and has said that he plans to devote time to education philanthropy.

On a steamy May morning in 2013, Canva CEO Melanie Perkins found herself adrift on a kiteboard in the channel between billionaire Richard Branson’s private Necker and Moskito islands. Her 30-foot sail floating deflated and useless beside her in the strong eastern Caribbean current, the 26-year-old entrepreneur waited for hours to be rescued. As she treaded water, her left leg scarred by a past collision with a coral reef, she reminded herself that her dangerous new hobby was worth it. After all, it was key to the fundraising strategy for the design-software startup she’d cofounded with her boyfriend six years before. Canva was based in Australia, thousands of miles from tech’s Silicon Valley power corridor. Getting a meeting—much less funding—was proving tough. Perkins heard “no” from more than 100 investors. So when she met the organizer of a group of kitesurfing venture capitalists at a pitch competition in her native Perth, Perkins got to training. The next time the group met to hear startup pitches and potentially write crucial early-stage funding checks, she’d have a seat at the table—even if it meant having to brave treacherous waters. “It was like, risk: serious damage; reward: start company,” Perkins says. “If you get your foot in the door just a tiny bit, you have to kind of wedge it all the way in.” Such perseverance has long been a necessity at Canva, which began as a modest yearbook-design business in the state capital of Perth on Australia’s west coast. From those remote origins, Canva has grown into a global juggernaut. Twenty-million-plus users from 190 countries use the company’s “freemium” Web-based app to design everything from splashy Pinterest graphics to elegant restaurant menus. Besides an impossible-to-beat price (millions of users pay nothing at all), Canva’s key advantage over rival products from tech giants like Adobe has been its ease of use. Before Canva, amateurs had to stitch together designs in Microsoft Word or pay through the nose for confusing professional tools. Today, anyone, anywhere, can download Canva and be creating within ten minutes. The company’s revenue comes from upselling to a $10-a-month premium version with snazzier features or, more recently, from sales of a streamlined corporate account option. High-quality stock photos—of which Canva has millions—cost another $1. It adds up. This year the company expects to more than double its revenue to $200 million; its most recent $85 million funding round valued it at $3.2 billion. Perkins, now 32 and an alum of the 2016 Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list, has an estimated 15% stake, valued at $430 million. Throw in her 34-year-old cofounder—and now fiancé—Cliff Obrecht’s similar stake, and the Aussie power couple are likely worth more than $800 million. In an era of billion-dollar checks from SoftBank and high-profile profligacy at WeWork, Perkins and Obrecht do things differently. They are couch surfers who prefer budget trips to private jets. (This summer, with Canva already valued at more than $2 billion, Obrecht proposed to Perkins in Turkey’s backpacker-friendly Cappadocia region with a $30 engagement ring.) Rarest of all: Canva says it’s been profitable—at least using the favored startup metric of adjusted EBITDA, which strips out stock-option expenses, financing and tax costs—since 2017. “We have been really conscientious about not taking on too much capital because we’ve been profitable for the last two years,” Perkins says. It all starts with Perkins, who onboards every new employee (now 700 in total) with a thorough rundown of Canva’s most sensitive financial numbers and past investor pitch decks. Other unicorn founders boast. Perkins keeps receipts. And as Canva grows she’s trying to prove you can build a global tech giant from anywhere. “Melanie is a rare breed of entrepreneur, the likes of which you don’t find often anywhere,” says Mary Meeker, a seasoned internet investor whose new firm, Bond Capital, made Canva its first official investment in May. Perkins’ family jokes that she has a 100-point plan for changing the world. First, Canva has a much more straightforward challenge: win over big business. Like Atlassian, Slack and Zoom before it, Canva faces a classic dilemma: a freemium model can make you viral, but most users will never pay a dime. And though Canva says it has users inside almost every large corporation today, they’re typically rogue individuals or small teams, not official corporate accounts. Moving upmarket means increasingly brushing up against Adobe, the $149 billion (market cap) graphics giant that took in $1.65 billion in revenue last quarter from its design-focused unit alone. Then there are a host of high-flying startups like Figma and Sketch that cater to pros but could easily move into the consumer space. And that’s not even considering Canva’s ambitions in new mediums like video and presentations, which could pit it against everything from small Instagram video-making apps to Microsoft, maker of the blockbuster PowerPoint. It’s daunting, to say the least, but for Perkins, who has already turned doubting Silicon Valley players into eager supporters and mastered the Chinese market—and has built a $200 million-plus bank account—it’s all according to plan. “I feel like we’ve done an incredible job, but we’ve done very little compared to what we want to do. We’ve done 1% of what I think is possible,” Perkins says. “Our company mission is to empower the world to design. And we really mean the whole world.” Perkins started working on what became Canva in 2007 from her mom’s living room in Perth. The daughter of an Australian-born teacher and a Malaysian engineer of Filipino and Sri Lankan heritage, Perkins had wanted to be a professional figure skater, enduring an adolescence of 4:30 a.m. wake-up calls before enrolling at the University of Western Australia. There, while teaching fellow students basic computer design as part of her communications and commerce studies, she had an idea. The process of designing and printing a poster or a flyer—composing it in Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Word, converting it to the right size and saving it as a PDF, and taking it to a store like Staples to print—seemed cumbersome in the age of the internet. Wouldn’t it be much better to do it all in one place with one online tool? “The idea of making design really simple was the first idea,” she says. The problem felt so obvious that Perkins feared someone else would build a solution first if she delayed. So she hired freelancers to build a Flash website to target one niche she identified as steady and underserved: school yearbooks, typically the responsibility of student volunteers. Obrecht and Perkins’ startup, Fusion Books, found a market immediately. And with one semester of college left, Perkins put her studies on pause. In peak season, Perkins’ mom fed the printers ink overnight. Obrecht worked the phones cold-calling prospects. When schools asked to speak to a manager, Obrecht simply lowered his voice. The business eventually reached 400 schools, with licensees as far off as France. It was a start. But Perkins couldn’t go much farther without venture funding, then virtually impossible to find in Perth, a city built on mining and petrochemicals. Perkins spotted—and seized—the narrowest of opportunities in 2011 when a longtime Silicon Valley venture capitalist named Bill Tai came to Perth to judge a startup competition. A skilled kitesurfer who had backed TweetDeck and Zoom, Tai was in town mainly to play in Perth’s killer waves. Perkins and Obrecht sniffed out a dinner Tai was hosting and ambushed attendees with a pitch for something called Canvas Chef: a metaphorical pizza, with design elements as the toppings and document types—flyer, business card, restaurant menu—as the dough. “It wasn’t the most stylish analogy,” says Rick Baker, an investor who saw the pitch that night. The founders left without any capital—but with a newfound enthusiasm for extreme water sports. They became fixtures at Tai’s subsequent kitesurfing gatherings, which featured prominent tech executives looking to invest in new startups. In Maui, after a friend of Peter Thiel’s told them they needed a single leader, Perkins became sole CEO. Perkins and Obrecht were having worse luck in their visits to Silicon Valley’s venture capital gatekeepers on Sand Hill Road. Dozens of firms passed on the little-known, romantically linked cofounders from a startup dead zone. “I’m honestly, and unfortunately, not comfortable doing a deal in Australia,” wrote one. “I am not sure it’s going to make sense just yet,” another said. In the end, the wave-chasing connections paid off. Through the group they met Cameron Adams, 40, an ex-Googler who had founded a startup based in Sydney. Expecting to meet with them as an advisor in March 2012, Adams would sign on as third cofounder the following June. Now that they had a technical leader, the founders broke through: Canva raised $3 million in seed funding in two tranches in 2012 and early 2013, including a crucial matching grant from the Australian government. The company launched in August 2013 to a couple of reviews on tech blogs and few users. Adams and Canva’s engineers, who stayed up late in Sydney (the company relocated there in February 2012) to handle the expected influx of sign-ups, went to sleep dejected. What no one knew yet was that Canva’s timing was perfect. The rise of Instagram and Twitter were changing how businesses reached customers. From schools to sheriff’s offices, skating rinks to self-published authors, everyone suddenly cared a lot about their online presence. Canva was an affordable way to look good. The trickle of sign-ups grew to 50,000 users in the first month; by 2014, when Canva raised another $3 million from Thiel’s Founders Fund and Shasta Ventures, 600,000 users had made 3.5 million designs. In China, historically a fool’s-errand market for Western software makers, Canva is a rare success. Obrecht—a tall, amiable presence who, as COO, often rallies the troops (or delivers bad news)—opened Canva’s first office outside of Sydney, in Manila, in 2014, then hired the former head of LinkedIn’s China unit to build an office in mainland China. Today, a local engineering team handles a China-first version of Canva built from the ground up with features like deep integrations with Chinese messaging apps and easy-to-create QR codes, which are popular there. McDonald’s China is a customer, as is a nationwide real-estate brokerage that offers the software to its 1,000 agents. When it comes to serving big businesses, Canva is still a rookie. Its October launch of Canva for Enterprise came at a private event in New York. Perkins addressed staffers from about 100 companies, including Equinox, JPMorgan and HubSpot. A slow start for Canva’s enterprise business won’t sink the company. This December, the company matched more of Adobe’s own features by announcing a video-editing tool and an apps suite; it’s still working on improvements to its free alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint, which has already been used to make 80 million presentations. But Canva’s long-term growth prospects depend on whether corporations will progress from small pockets of fans to accounts reaching thousands of employees. After years of adding more features to Canva’s suite, Perkins is betting on the opposite approach for corporate America. By offering limited sets of templates and options, Canva hopes execs will trust more employees to create their own content. At Realty Austin, a midsize Texas residential and commercial real-estate firm, a marketing team of six used to create all printed handouts and digital assets for its agents to promote events like open houses. Now, with Canva, the company’s 550-plus agents create material for their own listings, faster and on their own time. Adobe isn’t sleeping while all this goes down. It has offered its own freemium, templates-driven app, called Adobe Spark, since 2016. While Canva claims that its tools are used at 50,000 universities and 25,000 nonprofits, Adobe says it’s given out 23 million free Spark accounts to students and teachers. In December 2017, Adobe reunited with Scott Belsky, the entrepreneur whose social media business Behance it acquired in 2012, to instill a scrappier ethos in its product teams. “They feel like they’re the underdog because they’re like, ‘We’re not the coolest startup,’ ” says Belsky, chief product officer of Adobe’s Creative Cloud unit. Then there are the typical startup growing pains. Until two years ago, Canva’s tool for editing its core code was so clunky that only five engineers could work on it at a time. Much of the company’s focus last year was on a complete rewrite of the front-end interface of its app. “We’re growing so fast that things are breaking constantly,” Obrecht admits. And in May, Canva suffered its biggest test of customer trust to date. Days after Canva announced that Meeker’s investment had valued the company at $2.5 billion, a hacker in Europe breached its systems, downloading 139 million user names and email addresses before Canva could stop the attack. Stuck in California, Perkins and Obrecht called and texted with Atlassian’s co-CEOs and cofounders (and Canva investors), Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, reaching Farquhar as the billionaire was on a runway in Peru en route to Machu Picchu. At their urging, Canva called the FBI and launched a formal review; two weeks later, Canva announced two-factor authentication for all users. Though Perkins says Canva’s users responded by rallying behind the company, it was a warning: With better recognition comes a bigger target on your back. Those close to Perkins are confident that she can handle the pressure. Guy Kawasaki started his career as a hype-man for Steve Jobs, traveling the world to tout all things Apple in the 1980s. The former Forbes columnist says he’s happy to end his career doing the same for Perkins, investing in Canva and joining the company as “chief evangelist” back in 2014. “More people can use the democratization of design than can use a Macintosh,” he says. “You don’t have to be in Silicon Valley—you don’t even need to be in America—to be successful. Holy cow.” About Writer Alex Konrad this sample is no follow, but on order we make do follow About Article Source Forbes this sample is no follow, but on order we make do follow

Atlantis is strange. Nowhere else she has ever been, has Teyla felt so… adrift, away from sure and steady ground. The dirt is deep, far beneath the ocean. She can barely hear it, and should she have need of it, Teyla is uncertain if she has the strength to call it to her aid.
The Alantians—Earthlings, one of the soldiers said—also have Ancestral gifts. All of them. At about two hundred, that amount nears how many Teyla has seen in all her travels. Her father, too, had been a GroundSpeaker, but no other Athosian in her clan.
All four of the elements are represented on Atlantis. The power—it sings. The leader, Dr. Weir, is like Teyla. After she catches her breath, Teyla is happy to speak with Dr. Weir(“Call me Elizabeth.”), to share history and lore.
Teyla feels slightly guilty for her bit of relief that Colonel Sumner did not survive. He was quick to anger, quick to act—he had no time for reflection, no time to consider other paths. Like all FlameSpeakers Teyla has met, he flared and burned all obstacles, but that is not a leader’s way.
Major Sheppard, on the other hand—Teyla is not sure he’ll do any better. And Dr. McKay—he is impatient and loud. The power between them… Teyla is glad they seem to on her side.
They have the makings of a great people, the Atlantian-Earthlings, but they are so very young. She will do what she can to help them find their place in this new land—the Pegasus Galaxy, they call it. Elizabeth had explained the legend of a winged horse. It seems very apt, considering Major Sheppard’s gift, the most powerful SkySpeaker she has ever heard tell of.
At night, Teyla listens hard, straining to hear past Atlantis’ creaks and groans, for the lullaby of the ground. It is so very far away.
Often, she dreams of her father and the games they played when he taught her what it meant to be a GroundSpeaker.

He is older than his father, taller and broader. Dad seems so young. It’s just wrong, Dad being innocent and Mom being a hunter—his worldview is completely tossed upside down. Dad’s got no clue what’s out there, and Mom… she’s not the angel he’s always pictured, remembered her as. She’s just a girl, rebelling against her parents, wanting out of the life. She’s Sam, ten years before Sammy even exists.
They’re so young. He towers over Dad, practically, and he could break Mom in half. He knows more than both of them put together—Mom may’ve been hunting from the cradle(and Grandpa sure is one scary bastard), but she’s barely eighteen. She’s a kid. Dad’s been to war and come back, but he’s still just a boy. He’s still shy and awkward, stumbling through a courtship with the woman he’d spent over twenty years getting vengeance for.
Dean can’t catch his breath. His parents, his grandparents, Azazel—all twisted together, blood and even more fucking deals with fucking evil. Even going thirty-six years into the past, to back before November, isn’t enough to escape. Azazel’s there, fucking with his family, killing his family… Dean’s hands itch for the demon-killing Colt, the shining blade. He’s the one that killed Azazel, Mom and Dad’s murderer, and now his grandparent’s killer, too. He’s the one that got Sam killed, which made him responsible for Dean’s deal—and he killed Dad twice over. He killed Dad to get Mom’s deal, and he killed Dad as part of Dad’s debt for Dean’s life, and Dean wants to strangle the fucker with his bare hands, to rend him and tear him. Dean learned a lot in Hell, and he really really wants to put it to use almost-forty years in the past but Castiel’s hand is warm on his shoulder and he’s waking up in now.
He didn’t change a thing except for the worse.
Dad was so young, so naïve, so hopeful. Mom saw a way out, a way into the life Sam still dreams about sometimes, the life none of them ever seem able to have.
“Why did you even send me back?” he demands. He wants to hurt Castiel like he hurts now, wants to make the angel cry—if angels can cry. He never played with an angel in Hell. Demons can sob oceans, if twisted the right way, and he found hundreds.
Castiel has no meaningful answer. His eyes are sad, unfathomably deep, with knowledge Dean will never be able to grasp. His eyes are holy, God’s light shining out of the human vessel—a man who prayed for this. Does he regret it now?
The angel offers platitudes, the words with slightly wrong inflections, and Dean’s anger just keeps spiraling. He gets so angry with no reason, and he can’t lash out at Sam. Not at Sammy.
“If you don’t stop him,” Castiel says gently, “we will.”
Dean misses the clarity of Hell. Life was so much easier there.

Her faith in herself died with her second baby, and with that faith went her power. She had always walked a different road, unknowable, full of power and wonder. She had never feared the path until the way left her with the breath of her child.
The knowledge abandoned her; her dreams began to lie. Her family looked at her with pity and sorrow where once there had been awe and fear.
She was broken. She could not let Lulu out of her sight. She listened, as she always had, but the voices only jeered instead of singing.
Once, she had summoned a ferocious storm for vengeance. Now, she could only chase her daughter and whisper useless words, mute to the power she once commanded. She knew the way back: reclaim her faith in herself.
But the baby died. The baby died and the path was closed—and yet, in the dark of night, through the trees, on the shores of the lake, the voices still screamed.

We made a difference. Remember that.
He’s got Nate listed as his emergency contact, but that’s only if he’s in the US and found under his own name. Considering his profession and proclivities, that’s not too likely. But he needed to put someone down, and since his sister had kicked him out of her life, he figured Nate—responsible and respectable—was better than anyone else he knew.
He is in the US, and he is using his own name. Actually, he’s three blocks from where their headquarters used to be, on vacation as a civilian. Nearly a year since they all went their separate ways. He hasn’t heard from any of them or called any of them, and it’s good being on his own again. Really. No one to count on, no one to watch while waiting for a knife in the back. Just himself, like it should be. He works better alone.
Last he heard, Nate had gotten back together with Maggie, Sophie was down in Australia conning some rich cowboy, Parker was in South America, and Hardison was living like a geek god in New York. And him, he’d gone back to retrieving. He just couldn’t not do something, and it was the only thing he’d ever been good at besides riding horses.
But he’s on vacation, using his own name, in Los Angeles. It’s all legal. Rented a car, a hotel room, checking out all the touristy sights he missed when he lived there. It’s… nice. He’s a civilian, like the millions of other people in the city.
That’s his mistake, he realizes instantaneously, the second the bullet hits him. He feels it, then he hears it, and then he goes down.
Fuck, he hates guns. They’re cheating. Cowardly. Too easy. Anyone can use a gun. Screaming, panicking—he’s at the La Brea Tar Pits and he’s bleeding all over it.
“Got him,” he hears. “Yeah, okay.”
He’ll remember that voice. He’ll remember the hands that patted him down, that stole his five knives and left him there. He’ll remember the eyes and mouth that smirked as a stranger’s face said, “Vic sends his regards, fucker,” and then spit on him.
He’s in the US and using his own name. And someone had to’ve called 911, so he’ll survive this. He’s survived worse. And they’ll call Nate. And Nate—responsible, respectable, the best man Eliot has ever known—will come, and Eliot’ll heal, and he remembers that face, so he’ll find the guy—that’s what he does, after all—and he’ll make the guy pay.
Fuck, it’s cold. Summer in LA, it shouldn’t be cold. He’s had worse and he’ll survive until the ambulance shows up. He’ll survive.
It’s what he does.

Samsung Unveils Two New Phones With Huge Screens
By Victor Luckerson
Samsung unveiled two new smartphones Thursday to appeal to mobile users increasingly clamoring for big-screen phones. The Galaxy Note5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+ offer essentially identical specs, but the Note5 has a flat screen and an accompanying pen while the S6 edge+ features a curved screen. Both devices have 5.7-inch Quad HD AMOLED displays, 16 megapixel cameras and 4GB of RAM. The devices also feature 3,000 mAH batteries capable of wireless charging.
The Note5 has the same screen-size as last year’s Note4 model, but Samsung has shrunk the casing a bit to make it easier to hold in one hand. The curved back also makes it easier to gain a grip on the phone. However, the device is losing the microSD slot and removable battery that were part of older Note models.
In terms of software, the phones will have a new feature called Live Broadcast, that allows users to instantly stream video from their phone directly to a YouTube channel. Users will also be able to record in 4K, the super-high-definition video format. The Note5 also has a nifty feature that allows people to use the pen to write and record messages on the phone’s screen without unlocking the device.
The 25 Best Products of CES 2020
The Lenovo Fold X1 Is a Brilliant Foldable PC. But Will Anybody Want One?
Both phones will also come preloaded with Samsung Pay, the company’s new mobile payment system set to compete with Apple Pay and Android Pay.
The Galaxy Note5 and S6 edge+ will be available in 32GB and 64GB models beginning Aug. 21 across all major carriers. Pre-orders for the devices begin Thursday at 3 p.m. EDT.
These Are Samsung’s Best Phones Right Now
Galaxy S6 Edge+: The new Edge+ features a curved screen, a 5.7-inch display and new software features like the ability to directly livestream video recordings to YouTube
Galaxy Note5: The new Note 5 has a smaller frame than the Note4 while maintaing the same screen size. Owners can also use the Note’s signature pen to write on the screen without unlocking the device.
Galaxy A7: The mid-range Galaxy A7 doesn’t have the specs to match the flagship Galaxy S6 but it’s a sleek device that’s only 6.3 mm thick and comes with a 5.5-inch display.
Galaxy S6: Considered the flagship of Samsung’s high-end smartphones, the Galaxy S6 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED screen, two quad-core processors and a 16 Megapixel camera.
Galaxy S6 Edge: The S6 Edge features similar specs to the original S6 but comes with a stylish curved screen.
Galaxy S6 Active - This phone is almost identical to the Galaxy S6 internally, but plastic and rubber casing make it dust and water-proof. The phone is also bulkier and has a larger battery for extended battery life.

Tag Archives: Rage
Ikari, Rage against the Japanese Machine
A vicious attack has taken place in Tokyo. Husband and wife have been stabbed to death by a young man. The police show an old photograph of the suspect to the media and start an unsuccessful search for him in the whole country. That’s a conventional opening for a suspense movie; but in the case of 怒り (Ikari, Rage), the camera-narrator challenges us to discover who the assassin is, among three different and distant individuals. She peeks on the lives of the 3 runaways that may be the one. They all look like the picture. Indeed, through the information in the brochure about the production of the film, we find out that it was not one but three different photographs, each of them more similar to each actor, a good Photoshop job.
There is a story about a gay couple that just met in the dark room of a sauna downtown Tokyo. It gives a surprisingly realistic depiction of the hidden world –in Japan- of gay relationships and rooftop pool parties. Yuma (Tsumabuki Satoshi) is the successful, outgoing and good-looking guy who hosts and falls for a taciturn Naoto (Gô Ayano). I didn’t recognized the latter from 日本で一番悪い奴ら (Japan’s worst guys) well after the end of the film. He is a chameleonic actor, no doubt about it; and very productive: he appeared in 8 movies in 2016!
The second story has in the cast Watanabe Ken, Miyazaki Aoi and Death Note’s Matsuyama Kenichi. The location is a port in Northern Japan, and shows a problematic young woman just being rescued by her father from a prostitution network. Afterwards, she falls in love with an enigmatic young man with no past.
The third one takes us to a not-so-idyllic Okinawa, where American bases and their sexually-incontinent marines disrupt local harmony. It’s probably the toughest part to see, with images of a rape that will, for sure, disturb the audience.
If there is something in common about these 3 stories, is mistrust, mistrust of the unknown. People around the 3 men think they are the assassin, but for one reason or another, they don’t report them to the police: Yohei (Watanake Ken) wants him as a husband for her unstable daughter; Yuma is in love with Naoto; and in Okinawa, Shingo’s coworkers might be scared of his aggressive behavior.
Only at the end of the film we understand the motives of the initial killing and the identity of its perpetrator: rage against society, rage that is explained already in the title, 怒り, as a philological clue to find the assassin.
This is a well-adapted screenplay from a novel, with tension till the end, a great bunch of no overacting people from different generations, and good-quality and artistic filming that refers to present issues in Japanese society. What else can you ask from a movie?

Treatment of acute paraquat intoxication using recommended megadose of vitamin C: A reappraisal
J. B. Chang, C. C. Lin, J. F. Chiou, S. Y. Mau, T. Z. Liu, C. H. Chen
放射線學科
Megadose of vitamin C (MVC) has been proposed for an emergent treatment of acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning. However, the safety issue of this treatment protocol has not been evaluated. Here, we present the first evidence that vitamin C can promote aggravated production of hydroxyl radical (OH •) via interacting with preexisting PQ+•/H2O2 system in a nonmetal-catalyzed manner. This enhanced oxidative stress would therefore expect to cause more deleterious effect during acute PQ intoxication. To lend support to this possibility, we set out to attest the effects of MVC on a simulated, PQ-intoxicated, Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell model. First, PQ alone could trigger oxidative-nitrosative stress (ONS) through robust generation of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (NO) that could induce apoptotic killing via promoting effective release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, an apoptogenic factor. The percentage of apoptosis for MDCK cells treated with 1.0 mM PQ for 24 h was 16.3 ± 13.0%. However, when MDCK cells were treated with a combination of PQ (1.0 mM) and MVC (20 mM) for 24 h, the severity of apoptotic killing was further exacerbated as reflected by a nearly 7-fold increase in the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c and the percentage of apoptotic cell population rose sharply to 90.7 ± 5.1%. These data indicate that MVC apparently exacerbates further killing rather than cytoprotection on this simulated, PQ-intoxicated MDCK cell model and suggest that the treatment of PQ poisoning using MVC protocol should be cautious.

4 – The Four-Minute Mile
One of the greatest records in competitive sports was the four-minute mile. Athlete after athlete dreamt about running a mile in under four minutes, but no one could do it. Palva Nurey 0:25 of Sweden ran the mile in four minutes and 10 seconds in 1912. It took another 10 years until Gug Gahan 0:32 brought it down to four minutes and six seconds. Country after country sent their best athletes. No one could run a mile in under four minutes. It was a record that remained in place, untouchable for almost 100 years. And people began offering all kinds of theories. Man’s skeletal structure is all wrong. He creates too much wind resistance, he can’t possibly do it. It became an accepted medical fact that no human being can run a mile in under four minutes.
One Australian fellow, John Landy, ran the mile in four minutes and two seconds four times in a row. He said the words “It’s a brick wall, it can’t be broken.” May 6, 1954 Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile. That record that remained untouchable for almost 100 years, he ran a mile in under four minutes.
Amazingly, 47 days later John Landy — Australian fellow, four minutes and two seconds, a brick wall — ran the mile faster than did Roger Bannister. And stranger still, by the end of that year almost 30 runners had run the mile in under four minutes. But here was the strange part: nothing changed. They didn’t change diet, they didn’t change running technique, they didn’t change running shoes. The only thing that changed was that Roger Bannister took something from the realm of impossible and he made it possible. Once he shattered that limiting belief, once he broke that wall, then John Landy could, then almost 30 runners can. Now any decent track star runs the mile in under four minutes. But it took one human being.
Because many times people are held in check not by physical containments, but by mental cages that we create around ourselves. Powerful glass ceilings, powerful limitations. I’m just a regular person, I don’t have the abilities, I’m not that kind of person. And these limiting beliefs can hold a person in check. Sometimes you need a single human being, sometimes you need a hero. You have to look at other people who exceeded what everyone else believed they can do, and you have to say to yourself the words he is a human being, he walked the same earth that I do, breathed the same air that I do. If he can do it so too can I. And that is one of the great secrets of success — to shatter limiting beliefs, to set lofty goals, and to reach for the stars.

Local passion underscores work and play
Staff writerThe West Australian

Since she started selling properties in the Coogee region eight years ago, ACTON Coogee Property Consultant Fleur Kane has fallen in love with the area, with the allure strong enough that she bought a property of her own.
“I love being able to start and finish every single day at the beach and not even have to drive there,” she said.
“The local community is great and it’s like living in a holiday destination every day.”
The area has been good to Mrs Kane from a career perspective as well.
“In my first year of sales I became ACTON’s Rising Star, following in the footsteps of Vivien Yap,” she said.
“Since then I have won multiple gold and platinum sales awards.”
Mrs Kane said it was a desire to help and work with people that led her into real estate.
“When I realised real estate was an industry predominantly about people and changing their lives for the better, I knew I wanted to make it my life’s work,” she said.
“As a local resident and well-established agent in the suburb I have extensive market knowledge and, at any given time, a list of buyers looking for the right off-market buying opportunities and sellers looking for the same.
“My favourite thing is to match people with the right property, and having a strong network in the area allows me to do that.”

Why we don’t do art in school (and why we should)
In these times, when the demolition of a place as historic as Sesame Street can be thwarted by editing for shorter attention spans and conversion to pay-per-view, it can be difficult to remember what all the fuss was about during the height of the Culture Wars. In these times, it’s easy to assume that the growing absence of the arts and play in schools is one of time pressures and competing priorities and disagreements about how children learn, and unrelated to a struggle for cultural control. Arts programs are being stripped from schools, especially schools serving our most vulnerable neighborhoods, because those schools are choosing, in response to a variety of policy decisions, to spend more time on subjects more likely to raise scores on standardized tests.
Because we’ve got to concern ourselves with a Common Core, right? Surely it is in everyone’s best interest to focus on that?
Regardless of the answer to those questions, what must be clear is that we are in the midst of a vicious fight to control the story that frames the world we live in as American citizens. As any policy maker or political candidate knows, who controls the culture controls the story. There is no better way — really, no otherway — to control culture, than to control access to the arts.
In their Culture of Creativity report, the LEGO Foundation synthesizes the work of 18 essayists from around the world, commissioned to write about creativity informed by the perspective of their own culture. In summary, they write, “Culture is … a system through which people build meanings, and develop community, through the dimensions of having, doing, being and knowing. These are driven by playing, sharing, making and thinking — the active processes through which people learn and form meanings together.”
What is eliminated from our classrooms when we eliminate the arts is playing, sharing, making and thinking.
What is alienated from our classrooms is the opportunity to practice playing, sharing, making and thinking — without which it becomes impossible (or very difficult) to make meaning of our experience with the world. Without practice in the arts, we have less ability to reflect on our experience, to ask good questions, to express our perspective, to act on our feelings, to develop a community that might resist the status quo. If you can control the culture, you can control the story. And as long as your version is right, then alternatives can be, simply, wrong.
Restricting access to the arts allows those who wish to control the story to ensure that they are right and others are wrong. This feeling of being right empowers them to require obedience and sanctions a variety of punishments for defiance — from expulsion in preschool to retention in second grade to defunding schools who don’t pass tests to execution in the street in broad daylight. Fear of being wrong keeps people focused on being right instead of asking what’s right.
Fear decreases collaboration, listening, and ultimately, snuffs out empathy. Fearful people will fall in line behind a dictator.
Restricting access to the arts enforces silence by criminalizing creative disobedience. Increasingly, restricted access to the arts has grown an adult cohort that tolerates poisoned drinking water when a governor is responsible but calls other such violence, even when there are far fewer victims, an act of terror if ISIS is involved. Restricting the practice of playing, making, sharing, and thinking during the time when our youngest citizens’ brains are growing has created a society of adults that cannot tolerate ambiguity, cannot think critically, are fearful, and are drawn to radical political rhetoric.
So, these days, I wonder if the problem of the arts in schools is because of the relationship between the arts and learning. Since the Reagan administration created policies that led to large decreases in funding to the National Endowment for the Arts as late as 1997, the year in which the civil-rights-inspired Expansion Arts Program was discontinued, the result has been that fewer artists are confronting issues that challenge the status quo. Fewer people are playing, sharing, making and thinking.
Dudley Cocke of Roadside Theater writes, “Most problematically, without federal support national conversations about culture policy began to evaporate, and in the void nonprofits hunkered down to fight for their own.” In our public schools and in our non-profit organizations, fewer people are playing, sharing, making and thinking. And that means that fewer people are contributing to the development of what we experience as American culture.
Schools without art mean that fewer children discover the power of their own potential for expression.
And that means that over time fewer voices are contributing because fewer people believe that they have something to contribute. Fewer people believe they have a right or a reason to contribute. And as creative capacity is diminished, commercialism eagerly fills the void.
From Disney to McDonald’s to Sponge Bob to Big Bird, commercial culture has increasingly replaced or been confused with creativity. And while their children are delighted, adults are distracted from the problem at hand.
Commercial culture has led adults, for example, to focus on how the arts can be leveraged for other tasks — like how music improves math — rather than on the cultural impact of cutting the arts from our environments for learning. In his article Art and Democracy, Cocke writes, “the impact of U.S. commercial culture in this moment of globalization has become overwhelming. Imagine how the U.S. looks to hundreds of millions of people around the world whose only sources of information about us are commercial or propaganda television, Hollywood movies, and pop music. Equally troubling, at home this commercial preference has corrupted our own not-for-profit sectors’ core values.” It has been more than a decade since this article was published, and we can see the the impact. Commercial culture has functioned as a sleight of hand, obscuring the distinction between creator and consumer, seducing us into an acceptance of conformity and loss of identity, and handing us the politics of the day.
One part of the NEA’s original purpose statement reads, “Democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens and must therefore foster and support a form of education designed to make men masters of their technology and not its unthinking servant.” As funding for the arts has been cut, these ideas have been diluted. As economic disparities have grown, creative disparities have grown alongside them. When the children of parents who can pay $38,000 a year for preschool are told by school founder Chris Wink, “This much is certain: it will be impossible to convince [our] children that their aspirations are unattainable. …There will be no way of fooling them into believing that the stirrings in their hearts are unimportant.” And David Coleman, the architect of Common Core, is telling the children down the street at the neighborhood public school that “people don’t really give a **** about what you feel or what you think”, it’s long past time to consider the implications of such a serious threat to our democracy. The question remains: what are we willing to do about it? How will we find our way?
The authors of the LEGO Foundation’s Culture of Creativity report write, “cultures are made by humans, but culture also significantly shapes young children, because the human race is amazingly adaptive, especially in the critical young years.” It is precisely because the young human is so amazingly adaptive that finding ways to infuse the arts into the daily life of the classroom may be the greatest subversive tool we have to combat the commercialized, controlled, and combative culture that will otherwise shape our children. Playing, making, sharing, and thinking are the birthright of our species and natural learning strategies that all children bring with them to school. Children arrive at school with a creative mindset. What experiences and environments can adults design to sustain and extend it?
I don’t consider myself to be an artist, or an art teacher. Yet, when I am teaching in the classroom, it is my habit to ask myself, “Where are the arts?” I find that when I habitually ask that question as I’m planning, the arts become habitual. The availability of tools of the arts, as well as an invitation to use them, secures my role as “professional marveller” as Loris Malaguzzi, founder of the municipal preprimary schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy, fondly described the work of the teacher. Like the day several weeks ago, when 8 year-old Ella wondered aloud during a whole group dialogue in response to a book I’d read to them, “I know that metacognition means thinking about your thinking. But what’s the word that means thinking about your feelings?” The excited hush that typically follows such a beautiful question ran through the group. What is that word? And how might those words be related? How are thinking and feeling related? Which comes first? Can you have one without the other?
So I invited the children to PLAY with the idea. Using collections of loose part materials for collage or building, I invited them to MAKE a theory and to SHARE it with a partner. And it wasn’t too long before 8 year-old KD ran excitedly to me and said she’d been just fiddling around with a shiny piece of tinsel in the light when she made a discovery. She explained, “It all started out with a shiny piece. Its shadow reflected on the table. Like in Buddy and Earl,[Buddy] thought about his feelings and he felt his feelings of being friends. You think about your thinking and you feel and you feel and you think — it goes back and forth like the reflection in a mirror. It’s reflection!”
I don’t need to be an artist to offer children use of the materials of the arts as tools for thinking. And that’s not to diminish the value of artists in the schools or children’s encounters with artists who can teach and apprentice them, offering inspiration and skill and technique that they have a right to just as much as they have the right to multiplication tables or internet research. It’s just to say that I can choose to keep the door open. And when I do, they retain access to their creative birthright. They practice influencing the culture of their classroom community with their ideas and feelings and questions and contributions. They find out they can.
More of the NEA’s purpose statement reads, “The practice of art and the study of the humanities require constant dedication and devotion and . . . it is necessary and appropriate for the Federal Government to help create and sustain not only a climate encouraging freedom of thought, imagination, and inquiry, but also the material conditions facilitating the release of this creative talent.” We are now reaping the results of a dedication and devotion to commercialism and consumerism.
If we are to evolve beyond a culture that confuses adolescent posturing with political debate, we’ll need to offer our youngest citizens a climate encouraging freedom of thought, imagination and inquiry. We’ll need to grow a new kind of citizenry. And that means we’ll need to invest in the material conditions that will facilitate the release of every child’s inherent creative talent. Because it is only when our youngest citizens practice knowing how to express such freedoms in the company of others who have the right to do the same, that our culture will evolve to one that can tolerate the uncertainty inherent in diversity — a culture that is courageous about addressing the problems that come with trying to thrive as an individual in the midst of a thriving, vibrant and loving society — the one that we made together.

If You Want to Change the World, You Need the Kids
Historia seleccionada
This article originally appeared on Bloomberg
Bill Drayton is fostering the “skill that society is desperate for” by raising a generation of supersocial entrepreneurs.
All Bill Drayton wants to do is change the world—so, pretty simple. In 1980 he founded Ashoka, a global association of social entrepreneurs whose flagship program provides up to three years of financial and logistical support for projects with the potential to do good on a large scale. After 3,800 Ashoka Fellows and one MacArthur Genius Grant, he’s still finding ways to wield his influence for the better.
Ashoka insight
Drayton always understood that good policy ideas often come from entrepreneurs. An ideal Ashoka project isn’t about a particular school or hospital; rather, it helps eliminate a systemic weakness. Ashoka fellows can be widely influential: Half have seen their projects incorporated into national policy. By the mid-1980s, Drayton noticed that almost all Ashoka fellows had had an entrepreneurial experience as a young teen; even more striking, about a third of their projects addressed youth issues. “So now we had these two patterns together, both saying the same thing—that putting young kids in charge is really, really important,” he says.
Ashoka now runs a full slate of programs aimed at teaching early teens leadership skills, including Youth Venture, which provides kids who have ideas for social-entrepreneurial projects with help getting started. So far, it’s reached 15,000 kids in 40 countries. This year, Ashoka is working with teacher training institutes, teacher’s unions, parents, and school districts to teach them how to support budding changemakers. “Once they’ve had an experience where they’ve had an idea, built a team, and changed their world, they have their Ph.D.s in the most important skill in the world,” Drayton says.
“Life is no longer repetition and following orders. They have the skill that society is desperate for. And,” he adds, “it’s fun.”

A Teacher Fired Shots In A Georgia High School And It Just Shows That Arming Faculty Isn’t The Solution
By Callie Byrnes, February 28th 2018
http://tcat.tc/2oDJW9n
Unsplash / Feliphe Schiarolli and Twitter / @_omg_chondi_
Earlier today, exactly two weeks after the Florida shooting, a teacher at Dalton High School in Dalton, Georgia fired a gun and barricaded himself in a classroom for 30 mins until authorities were able to take him into custody.
It is unclear what the teacher was planning to do with the handgun, as he reportedly refused to let students into the classroom because he didn’t want to involve them in the incident. Students were evacuated from the school and the building was put on lockdown before police were eventually able to get the situation under control.

Handgun has been recovered. @WRCB
This incident seems particularly newsworthy given the discussion around gun control and arming teachers that has arisen in the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that killed 17 students and faculty. It may make the GOP want to rethink their stance on letting guns in public schools.
@nra my favorite teacher at Dalton high school just blockaded his door and proceeded to shoot. We had to run out The back of the school in the rain. Students were being trampled and screaming. I dare you to tell me arming teachers will make us safe.

Or who knows! Maybe people will come up with another ~great~ solution involving guns! (More guns!!!)
Shots were fired at Dalton High School in Georgia today—by a teacher. Clearly the only logical solution now is to arm all students.

Or, you know, maybe we could try not putting more guns into schools. But what do I know? I’m just a lowly citizen who’s been watching the news cycle for years, wondering when the hell someone is actually going to do something about gun violence.

‘He was arrogant, but in a good way’ – why Rodgers failed at Reading when the players loved him and he was dreaming of Barcelona
By Jack Pitt-Brooke Dec 13, 2019 20
When Brendan Rodgers took over as Reading manager in June 2009, he did not merely want to transform the playing style of the club overnight. He wanted to open his players’ eyes to the world.
Rodgers was only 36 years old and was going into his second senior management job. He was still on an educational journey, and he wanted his players to go on one too.
So Rodgers told four of his youngsters — Alex Pearce, Simon Church, Jem Karacan and Hal Robson-Kanu — to learn Spanish. He sent them to classes at Reading University in spare afternoons after training. He said it was for their personal development, giving them a new skill, or helping their chances to one day play abroad.
When Rodgers would take training, sessions that his players still rave about now, 10 years on, he would have his exercises all mapped out beforehand, the specific stipulations for every drill and small-sided game. But as his players soon learnt, all those notes would be in Spanish or...

Dallas DA Blasts Amber Guyger Judge Tammy Kemp Over Gag Order Controversy
A. Woods
Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot is taking action against gag orders after being hit with one by Judge Tammy Kemp over comments he made on television before Amber Guyger’s murder trial in September. According to the Dallas News, Creuzot said that his office will now challenge gag orders issued by Dallas judges.
MORE: Judge Tammy Kemp Kicked Off Dallas DA’s Contempt Of Court Case
During a news conference on Wednesday at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, Creuzot said, “From this day forward, if any judge on his or her own issues a gag order, there’s about a 99.9% chance that we’re going to do everything in our legal power to get it taken down.”
He added, “And if that means we have to go through the Court of Appeals, or to the Supreme Court of Texas, or to the Court of Criminal Appeals to do so, we’ll do so.”
Creuzot is holding his staff accountable as well, enforcing them to get his approval prior to issuing gag orders on their own.
The comment in question that Kemp considered a violation of Creuzot’s gag order was made during an interview the night before the trial. He explained why he felt murder was the appropriate charge for Guyger, the former Dallas police officer who shot and killed Botham Jean in his own home in 2018.
Guyger is serving 10 years in prison for the Jean’s murder.
“And so this issue of manslaughter that it was manslaughter — I wrote, ‘No, this is more appropriately a murder case based on the facts as reported,’” Creuzot said. “I’ve studied what we have, and I feel comfortable going forward on it, but I don’t have any idea as to how it will end up.”
Guyger’s attorneys attempted to capitalize on Creuzot’s statement, thus requesting a mistrial in court the next day. The attorneys suggested that the interview was a violation of Kemp’s gag order. Kemp questioned the jurors to determine if anyone had seen the interview, because if anyone did it would support Guyger’s attorneys’ claims. However, no one did.
Creuzot was due to appear in court following the trial to explain why his remarks were not worthy of him being held in contempt. However, Creuzot demanded that Kemp be removed from his contempt of court case. His wish was granted.
During the news conference on Wednesday, Creuzot said that Kemp displayed unprofessional behavior and that she appeared to be biased.
Kemp’s behavior has been questionable in the past as she famously gave Guyger a hug and a Bible after sentencing her to only 10 years in prison for taking someone’s life.
Court records reveal both parties filed a motion to dismiss the contempt charge in December. Court filings also revealed that while Guyger’s attorneys felt Creuzot should have declined to comment on the case, he did not violate the gag order because it did not prohibit public statements, only comments that would likely affect the case.

Continue reading Violent White Folks Who Were Arrested With Loving Care By Police
UPDATED: 8:02 a.m. ET, Jan. 10, 2020 -- Just in case anyone thought otherwise, it is officially not a coincidence that white folks can commit and be accused of the most violent crimes only to be peacefully arrested -- as opposed to police responding to the same types of allegations suspects of colors (read: Black people) with violence that is many times deadly. MORE: Are Black Churches Safe? White Girl Arrested For Planning Attack That was true earlier this week when Florida woman Serina Probus was accused of two separate violent felonies, one of which the 20-year-old admitted to "too high on cocaine to remember," the Tampa Bay Times reported. Despite the clear threat to the safety of the arresting officers -- a threat that police have quickly killed Black suspects over -- Probus was somehow able to be peacefully taken into custody and allowed to smile proudly in her mugshot. Her treatment stood in stark contrast to how cops typically react to Black suspects accused of the same or less. [caption id="attachment_3898806" align="alignnone" width="600"] Pictured: Serina Probus | Source: Pasco Sheriff's Office[/caption] Police said Probus was drunk when she bit her sister on the hand for trying to prevent her from leaving a home with her 6-month-old daughter early in the morning of New Year Day. When police responded, "Probus cursed at them and tried to kick out a window in the patrol vehicle as she was being arrested and was placed in a hobble restraint to bind her legs," the Tampa Bay Times wrote. "As she was being restrained, deputies said she tried to pee on them, then spit on them once she was in the car." After Probus was booked on "the misdemeanor charge of domestic violence and felony charge of battery on a law enforcement officer," she was hit with another felony charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon stemming from an accusation in October when she allegedly intentionally hit a man with her SUV. History has shown that Black people accused of much less have suffered much worse fates at the hands of police, especially in Florida. But the rules change when white folks are involved, as shown by the Pasco Sheriff's Office, which happily snapped Probus' gleeful mugshot. It was unclear if deputies stopped to get her some Burger King on the way to being booked, which is exactly what happened after Dylann Roof -- the admitted racist murderer of nine parishioners in a historic Black church in South Carolina in 2015 -- was peacefully arrested even though he was considered armed and very dangerous. The list of similar examples literally goes on and on. It was certainly true for Mark Boisey of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. On Nov. 13, 2019, he strangled, pistol-whipped a woman and fired nearly 50 shots at police. Nonetheless, after a seven-hour standoff, he was still peacefully arrested and seen in handcuffs with a confident smile on his face. Prior to that, 19-year-old Matthew Bernard shot and killed two women and a child in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, in August. Bernard, who was naked and armed with a rifle, also choked a church caretaker and chased a police officer. He posed such a threat to the public that seven local schools were locked down, according to WDBJ-TV. https://twitter.com/ShadowLeague/status/1166689450191216642?s=20 Yet, somehow, police found a way to de-escalate the situation without resorting to the type of lethal force cops often rely on when confronting Black suspects accused of far less. USA Today reported that Bernard was arrested on three counts of first-degree murder. The sheriff's office released the following statement, "The names of the deceased are being held until family members are notified. Investigators are still on-scene collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses. A first court appearance has not been scheduled." However, there were reports that two of the victims were the wife and child of Blake Bivens, a Double-A pitcher in the Tampa Bay Rays organization and that Bernard is the brother of Bivens' wife. Rest in peace to the victims. How incredible with all of this violence that police still managed to peacefully arrest the alleged killer. Also in August, Jerri Kelly decided the best reaction to four Black teenagers who knocked on her door while fund-raising for their high school was to pull a gun on them and keep her firearm aimed at them until police arrived. While the obviously racist episode that unfolded in Arkansas resulted in Kelly being arrested, it took the Wynne Police Department -- which arrived on the scene to see Kelly holding the boys at gunpoint while they were forced to lie on the ground -- five days to actually take her into custody. https://twitter.com/newsone/status/1162484180401319936?s=20 Kelly, the wife of the local jail administrator, was arrested with tender loving care for something -- if the roles were reversed -- that arguably would have gotten one or all of the boys shot and/or killed by police. She had the audacity to plead not guilty to four counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a minor. Similarly, privileged treatment was afforded to the accused El Paso mass shooter who allegedly killed at least 20 people earlier this month. Patrick Crusius was booked without a scratch on him after his surrender for launching a racially motivated mass killing that reportedly targeted Hispanics in the Texas border city on Aug. 3. The mass shooting suspect, who was reportedly pro-Trump and against "race mixing," was said to have used an AK-47 assault rifle, which should automatically consider him armed and dangerous. However, responding law enforcement was somehow able to apprehend the heavily armed Crusius, 21, and arrest him safely. https://twitter.com/OSINews/status/1157766809686294529?s=20 That and the other aforementioned police treatments were the polar opposite to when San Francisco police officers gunned down Mario Woods in 2015. The 26-year-old mentally ill man was suspected of stabbing someone when officers surrounded him. When Woods failed to drop the knife as ordered by the cops, they fired 26 rounds at him, even though cellphone videos showed that Woods was not directly threatening the officers as the cops claimed. In another case, Sacramento police officers fired at 51-year-old Joseph Mann 18 times in 2016 after receiving reports of a man with a knife acting erratically. Police videos show Mann walking down the street making strange gestures when the cops at first tried to run him down with their police cruiser before shooting him. In April 2018, four officers — one in uniform, three in plainclothes — killed Saheed Vassell, 34, in a hail of 10 bullets on a Brooklyn sidewalk. The officers responded to calls about a Black man with a gun. But it turned out that Vassell, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was holding a pipe. No firearm was found at the scene. Of course, there is Laquan McDonald in October of 2014. Horrific video of the killing of McDonald showed Jason Van Dyke fired at him 16 times within 14 seconds. The video was released one year after McDonald’s death. The teen was seen walking away instead of confronting officers, which is what Van Dyke falsely said happened. McDonald continued to be shot at even after he fell to the ground from the initial bullets. Two police officers and one detective were acquitted of trying to cover up the shooting for Jason Van Dyke, even though that was precisely what they did. The three men all said Van Dyke, who was convicted in October, was justified in shooting the teenager 16 times within 14 seconds. Van Dyke’s partner the night of the shooting, even said: “McDonald was walking toward Van Dyke and with his arms raised when he was shot.” The video would later contradict that account, showing Walsh lied. Still, he and his co-defendants were acquitted. Van Dyke received the light sentence of 81 months in prison. However, when you are white, no matter if you gun down people at a church or even assault police officers, you can be peacefully arrested. Must be nice. See below for more.

Literacy Day on display. Tuesday, March 12 marked the day South Forsyth High School partook in a day surrounding academic discourse and its importance in the classroom environment. Many classes participated in Socratic Seminars and class discussions.

More than a day for books: SFHS Literacy Day
Alyssa Freyman, Sierra Wamsley, Daria Weber, Kate Haas, Elijah Cho, Shree Delwadia, Shreya Mishra, Samyu Machani, Brooke Eldridge, Minakshi Shivananda, Olivia Waletzke, Naisha Roy, Douglas Seely, Kayleigh Emberton, Grace Drawdy, Lauren Holiday, and Sadie Rawlings
Posters and wallpapers decorated the hallways advocating for Literacy Day on March 12th. Teachers and students have been preparing for this day to come, and now spectators are visiting classrooms and watching students and teacher engage with each in academic activities. Many teachers stray from their normal style of teaching and provide activities for the students to utilize teamwork and discussion. Students share and evaluate their assignments while other teachers complete their own critiquing worksheets to figure out better ways to implement lesson styles their coworkers were using for their own classes. From this experience, teachers are learning how to adapt changes into their classrooms to interpret new strategies for tying in new values of academic discourse. Through Literacy Day, the school is evolving classrooms by investigating the potential of integrating better communication and discussion between students and teachers; pushing towards a future of more lively discussion and learning.
Literacy Day was created in order to encourage academic discourse within a classroom. Throughout the day, district personnel observed classrooms and how they engaged in academic discourse. Teachers are creating specialized lesson plans that will improve communication and provide a relevant and engaging learning environment.
We believe literacy is the cornerstone of all learning in all content areas; therefore, a focus on literacy is a moral imperative for all teachers, no matter grade level or content focus.”
— Dawn Phipps, Forsyth County Director of High School Education and Learning
This is part of the five year initiative to develop the level of learning within Forsyth County. The county has developed a new process of learning that will adapt to the changes seen within the student body in order to improve the students’ outlook on education. To further develop reading in our society, the school has created student prizes. Teachers have been given prizes for students who are seen reading books outside of class. This academic discourse enables students and teachers to work together on presentations and peer discussions. Various activities such as critical thinking, accountability, and communication marked Literacy Day at South.
Grace Drawdy
Lab Partners at work. In science classes, labs were conducted in order to encourage students to use critical thinking and discuss their thoughts with partners. Students in this lab studied acids and bases, and compared and contrasted their results with peers.
Students becoming the teachers. In this class, students speak to their peers. Groups of students created a lesson and review quiz for the rest of their class. This involved the entire class in a way that connected students through academic discourse.
Ms. McGray, an AP Government teacher, says, “I think it has helped, especially with AP Gov, because they got to share their opinions and see how the Supreme Court impacts their daily lives. They had more relevant conversations, especially with the NetRef discussion. With Honors World, we expanded more of what they received in class and also seeing historical perspectives about World War 1.”
Junior Rowen Aragon agreed, “We participated in a new Socratic seminar format that we designed as a class. It was great; we could have easily talked for 2 hours about The Things They Carried and whether or not the draft is justified. The discussion was great to the point where I annoyed my next period talking about the draft.”
However, some students felt it interrupted the flow of class and wasn’t related to their subject. Most of the time, the reactions were positive.
In my classroom, a focus on literacy happens regularly. Literacy Day or not, academic discourse in an integral aspect of my science instruction five days a week.”
— Kelsey Parent
Swapping books. Mr. and Mrs. McIlvan “shop” at the school’s book swap cart. Swap Mobile’s introduction to South Forsyth High School gives students an opportunity to find new stories to enjoy while also being able to donate old books they once loved, but no longer read. The Swap Mobile provides students with opportunities to expand their knowledge on reading by getting books for free. The cycle of giving and taking allows so many people to enjoy a book someone might not have been able to afford, or someone a chance to clean out their storage.
Daria Weber
Literature lover. In the SFHS dining hall, Sharon Forks Library set up rows of popular books for students to look over, as well as a station to sign up for a free library card. Invited to represent Forsyth County Libraries, Page James joined SFHS during Literacy Day – a day devoted to inspiring students to become interested in reading.
INTERVIEW WITH SHARON FORKS LIBRARIAN, PAGE JAMES
Q: What does the Sharon Forks Library hope to accomplish here today?
A: We were invited to come and represent Sharon Forks, and we wanted to encourage teens to sign up for a library card. We are also giving out information about tutor.com, which is our online tutoring service. It is available for teenagers and younger kids, and you just need a library card. You can become in contact with tutors that specialize in whatever subject it is. We think it’s one of our really good services we supply for patrons of the library. We are hoping people sign up for the library card so they can also use tutor.com We want to promote literacy. As a library, that’s what we are about.
Q: What advice would you give to students who may not be open to reading more books?
A: I would try to find something that would interest the student, because you can tie in almost anything into a book. You can find a book for everything you are interested in.
Q: How can reading more books improve the lifestyle of students?
A: I think reading is relaxing. It’s a way to escape everything you have to deal in high school and life in general.
Through this single day at South, students are able to see the importance of literacy and understand the importance of meaningful academic discourse.

The Duke of York’s Speech at The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, 2015
3rd February 2015 Science Technology and Engineering
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an enormous pleasure to be here today, especially representing Her Majesty.
I have said, along with a number of people in this room, the UK is the best place to do Science and Engineering. My passion is looking to see how we can encourage and inspire young people to take up the challenge that us old people have held; now is the time to really encourage young people to take up the challenge of Engineering. It is across so many different areas that it is really really important to encourage those young people. This Prize is absolutely critical as a part of that fabric of Engineering.
I have not come here to say very much and I can just quote from the current article that my father has written in the current issue of the New Scientist and I am just going to read an excerpt which I think it encapsulates what we are trying to achieve:
“Engineering is not just a profession to be learned and practised as a way of making a living. It is one of the few ways in which human talent can be given the chance to improve, and frequently to transform, the comfort and prosperity of the human community. In fact, engineering has made a greater positive difference to human life than almost any other human endeavour.”
I believe that like many Engineers I have been inspired by my father as well and I think that this is something that young people can aspire to in the future.
It is a great pleasure to be able to join you today, thank you very much.

Camping with resort amenities !
Most sites are full hookup’s, level and sandy surface, shade trees. The park is great its real camping with the amenities of a resort. Pool play ground, game room and a 250 yard driving range! The place could us some TLC, but I would still recommend going there! Great place if you have a boat or kayak!

Damien Harris: 4 Star RB with 1st Round Fantasy Potential
1 year ago Matt Hicks
Welcome to the 48 Report, a full database of 48 of our favorite 2019 Draft Prospects. The key, however, is that we focus specifically on their ability to translate as fantasy football players. All players in the database have been scored by 3 writers, and this is their article; explaining their aggregate score, as well as the score of their writer. All categories are scored on a 1-5 scale; with 5 being the highest score a prospect can receive. The highest aggregate average scores a player can receive is 25. Articles will be posted January-April, all the way up to the draft. Ratings will be adjusted after the combine, based on measurables and after the draft, because as we all know: landing spot matters.
Damien Harris (5’10”, 215) Running Back, Alabama
18.3 Aggregate Score (4 Star Prospect)
Damien Harris finds himself in the middle of a packed running back group, in what’s being deemed as a weak year for the position. Running backs will likely start coming off draft boards later than they did in 2018,however, there is still a lot of value (and future fantasy production) in the 2019 draft class. Harris combines strength and receiving skills in a way that uniquely propels him towards the top of that future production.
Harris was a 5-star recruit, according to 247 Composite,coming out of Berea, Kentucky. At Madison Southern High School, Harris rushed for 6,717 yards and 111 touchdowns; including a monster junior year when he totaled 2,621 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns. These stats earned Harris a variety of honors including: 2013 Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year (junior year)and 2014 All-USA First Team by USA Today (senior year). Harris was rated as the number 3 running back in his class and chose Alabama over Kentucky, Ohio State,and Michigan.
No Stranger to Competition
Harris has led Alabama running backs in rushing for the last three years (sophomore-senior seasons). In those seasons, Harris has rushed 420 times for 2,956 yards and 22 touchdowns. He’s also caught 46 passes for 391 yards and 2 touchdowns. Harris, however, has battled teammates for touches in each of those seasons. In 2016, Harris rushed 146 times for 1,037 yards, Hurts rushed 191 times for 954 yards, and Bo Scarbrough (now of the Dallas Cowboys)rushed 125 times for 812 yards. In 2017 Hurts and Scarbrough combined for 278 attempts, compared to Harris’ 135 attempts. Najee Harris and Joshua Jacobs also combined for 107 attempts. In 2018, with a pass-first quarterback at the helm,Harris led the offense with 139 attempts, but Jacobs (109) and Najee Harris(108) also saw significant action.
Still, even with that competition Harris finished 9thin SEC rushing in 2016 (62nd in the nation), 7th in SEC rushing (59th in the nation) in 2017, 11th in SEC rushing in 2018 (97th in the nation). Harris’ production looks even better when considered in yards/rush: 7.1 yards/carry (16th in the nation)in 2016, 7.4 yards/carry (7th in the nation) in 2017, and 5.9 yards/carry (55th in nation) in 2018. It’s worth noting that although Harris’ rushing yards dropped off in 2018 (819, compared to an average of 1,018 in 2016 & 2017), his receiving yards increased to 201, from an average of 95 in 2016 & 2017.
Speed/Agility:Aggregate Score: 3.3 (Personal Score: 4)
I don’t expect Harris to test shockingly well while running the 40 at the Combine. He does, however, show up quick on tape. He’s slow off the line of scrimmage but accelerates well once he gets going. He’s got solid burst once he hits a hole and has a nasty jump cut that helps him blow past defenders.Harris has demonstrated the ability to make guys miss, when in space. Harris,however, finds himself in between the tackles more, which creates an illusion of slowness. I have him rated slightly higher (4) than his aggregate score because his agility makes him quicker than his raw speed does.
Receiving Skills Aggregate Score: 4 (Personal Score: 3)
Harris didn’t get a lot of work in the passing game,however, he proved to be efficient when he did get opportunity. Harris has good hands that allow him to haul in quick passes which came mostly in the flat.Almost like clockwork, Harris snags balls in the flat and sharply turns upfield; finding a way to rack up receiving yards after catch (RAC). His ability to rack up RAC makes him a versatile NFL prospect; he’s one of the few running back prospects I’ve reviewed so far who demonstrate the ability to contribute on all 3 downs.
Vision: AggregateScore: 4 (Personal Score: 4)
Harris consistently demonstrated good vision in his tape. He does a good job finding open holes (albeit that’s easier behind Alabama offensive linemen) and uses the aforementioned jump cut to hit those holes. One of the most impressive parts of watching Harris play is seeing his ability tof ind room in between the tackles; he consistently hits small holes and pops out of the back end clear of defenders are with the momentum needed to break off a big play.
Blocking: Aggregate Score: 2.6 (Personal Score: 2)
Damien Harris runs with fantastic strength, however, that strength doesn’t show up with the same force when he’s blocking. Harris got over powered by defenders consistently when pass blocking, and there’s a few instances of him getting really rocked by bull rushing linebackers. He also has a tendency to throw his body (shoulder first) at defenders even when making static pass blocks. This actually works out for Harris often, but I can’t imagine it’ll pass the test with NFL coaches. Blocking is the biggest liability I see with Harris’ game, however, I do think he can be coached out of it; givenhis strength.
Strength: Aggregate Score: 5 (Personal Score: 5)
From his worst feature to his best; Harris is perhaps best described by one of the notes from my fellow Fanalysts (and 48 Report) writer Christopher Nelson who made the comment “Baby Hulk” on his Harris notes. He’s an aggressive rusher who gets me fired up when he hits a hole with ferocity. He keeps a low center of gravity and has great balance that, when combined with his strength, leaves defenders bouncing off of him at the line of scrimmage and downfield. Harris also consistently fights for extra yardage.
Conclusion: Late 1st-Early Second Round Target
Harris received a nice score from our team (4 Star prospect), and it’s justified: he’s good at a lot of things. Much like his split workload at Alabama suggests, though, I’m worried if he’s going to be great enough at anything to quickly earn NFL work. Still, Harris’ upside is there, and I think he will find himself close to my top 5 running backs for the 2019 class. Time will tell, but for now Harris’ upside is enough to keep him in 1st round consideration from me.

Crabbing off Lucky Point
Sailing snuck up on me.
You move far more than you feel in those boats, really, albeit it at an oftentimes much lower speed than their hotheaded motored counterparts.
You cruise constantly, like those low-hanging clouds that I can’t remember the scientific terms for.
My friend Brian, his old man and I went out one late-summer day.
Brian’s father repeated an old rumor, that some Alaskan King Crab could be found at Lucky Point, under what auspices I’ll never know.
“Pass me the bumper,” said Brian, half in the sailboat, half still in the dinghy.
“This thing on the white rope,” I asked him, hoisting up the loose knot, it yellowed with age and was covered in scuff marks.
“Ropes are called ‘lines’ on boats,” said the old man.
“Yes please,” he said.
I handed him the white line in my right hand, he thanked me immediately and looped it around a cleat, safely connecting the two vessels.
I climbed in next.
“Are you sure about this,” asked Brian as he grabbed his father by the forearm and hoisted him in.
“Things don’t always turn out the way they’re s’posed to,” said the old man while tying the dinghy to a nearby buoy, “but you won’t know that until they happen.”
“Dad,” he said a little indignant, “we’re in New Jersey.”
“Just trust me, pal.”
He acquiesced, and began preparing the two lines.
The old man was above untying the row boat from the side, then steered toward the destination
I sat on a cushion in the galley, not sure what to do as this was my first time crabbing.
Brian poked a hook through the poultry.
“Stick it in between the two thigh bones bones so it stays connected to the trap,” he said, handing me the other hook. “Otherwise, they can pull it off. Give it a try.”
I grabbed a piece of fairly foul chicken.
“They like this stuff?”
“Love it,” said Brian with confidence, “that or they’re just too dumb not to eat it.”
“Aren’t they supposed to eat fish or something?”
“We like to treat them,” said the old man from above, overhearing us.
Brian smiled, “yeah, but chicken is good bait because its hard for them to break apart.”
I pierced the drumstick where I was told, and after a brief inspection, Brian grabbed his line and stood.
“We’re here,” said the old man.
The sea glistened and rippled, aside from the flattened, winding path the currents left. This point seemed no different than any other in the bay, to be honest.
We brought the lines up, tied them to the cleats of the ship and dropped them into the water. Mine was on the left, next to a current. Brian’s, on the right, faced the shore.
The old man rested a net on top of the galley, we went inside, washed our hands with sanitizer, cracked open a few beers, and called a toast to a day in the bay.
“I hope this King Crab thing is true,” said Brian.
The old man sipped calmly, tired of trying to convince his son with words alone.
“How many crabs do you usually catch,” I asked.
“Depends,” said the old man, finishing his swig. “I’ve gotten 32 nice-sized catches on one trip, and I’ve had some go by without anything biting.”
I nodded. Guess it just depends on the day, I thought.
“You need three things to go crabbing,” said the old man, holding up three fingers. “Beer, friends and crabbing supplies.”
Brian finished his beer, he seemed less antsy after his father said that.
Mine was still half-full.
“Let’s go out on the deck,” the old man said.
Brian and his father went to the line that he set up, they asked me to come and watch as they demonstrated.
“You can feel them tugging at the line,” said Brian, slowly pulling it up. A faint, star-shaped outline appeared attached to the very end of it.
Without a word, his father grabbed the net and stood in front of his son, who slowly pulled the catch up within range.
Deftly, the old man sunk the net in and retrieved the iridescent blue crab.
“We got a keeper,” he yelled while high-fiving his son, “looks just shy of 6 inches.”
“Is it a king,” I asked.
“No, kings aren’t blue, and are much bigger than this,” said Brian’s dad.
They gently lowered the catch into the bucket while I finished my beer.
“Check the port side,” said the old man.
I went over and pulled my line up slowly, another star-shape emerged, the same color, but it was noticeably smaller than the last.
“Gotta throw that sucker back,” he said.
I tried pulling it up more, but it let go of the bait.
The old man offered me another beer, “let it soak for a while.”
I plopped the line back near where it was, turned, sat.
“How do you like crabbing, buddy,” the old man asked me.
“So far, so good,” I said, “I think I’m already getting the hang of it.”
Brian rested his arms by the sides of the ship, the two seemed glad that I was having a good time.
“I think you’ll get a keeper,” they said simultaneously, “I can tell,” said only Brian.
A few minutes passed, we decided to check the lines once more.
Brian raised his line, another star-shape emerged from the murk.
His father grabbed the net again.
“Looks like a keeper too, may be a little smaller than the last.”
They retrieved the crustacean, and lowered him into the bucket, a small scuffle ensued between the two catches, which died down once they pinned each other into submission with their claws.
“I’ll check the port side,” I said to nods from the crew.
I felt a few tugs on the line as soon as I grabbed hold.
Taking great care, I pulled the line up until a faint outline again emerged.
“Looks like a keeper to me,” the old man said, directing Brian to get the net.
It was definitely big enough, but it looked a little off.
Brian pulled it out of the water, and it became clear what was different about it, it was missing it’s left claw.
“Good job,” said the old man with great gusto.
He plopped it in the bucket, it immediately grabbed the second claw of the first crab, the second crab squeezed the new catch on its declawed shoulder, resulting in a Mexican standoff of sorts.
I dropped the chicken back into the water.
We put the bucket in the galley to keep the catches out of direct sunlight.
“Nice work, boys,” said the old man, holding his beer in front of him, “to catching keepers,” he said.
We clinked our bottles and all took hearty gulps.
The sun hung a little lower now, the light cast through the wispy clouds.
“Let’s see what we got,” said Brian.
“Want to try netting,” the old man asked me.
I stood in front of Brian as he gently pulled the line up.
Two small outlines emerged, two tiny crabs locked in combat over the drumstick.
The old man laughed infectiously.
“Pull it up anyway, it may scare them off,” said the old man, “sorry pal, maybe next round you’ll get to try out the net,” he told me.
“No problem,” I said, “I’ll check mine out.”
I leaned over the side, and felt some stiff tugs on my line.
“Feels like a keeper,” I said.
I pulled up a little ways.
Brian got into position, his father retrieved the bucket and put it in the middle of the deck, just as before.
A massive, red star emerged, firmly attached to the poultry.
Brian and I spouted some expletives, his father laughed at us, then at the massive, Alaskan King Crab, which had no business being in New Jersey.
“Hold on,” he said, switching the other container with a spare that he added some water to.
“Go ahead,” he said. We proceeded as usual, Brian put the net behind the crab this time, it detached from the bait in a bid to escape, but still found itself ensnared.
We stood in awe of the creature and gently put it in the container.
“Now that’s a keeper, my friend,” said the old man, high-fiving me.
In no time, we polished off the rest of the beer.
I got to try netting, and really refined my technique by the end of the trip.
Brian ended up with five good catches, all blue. I caught two more blue keepers, all respectable by their own standards, but still dwarfed by the King.
I don’t think that was what was supposed to happen, but I’m glad it turned out that way.

DECLASSIFIED: Hydraulic Jump
You can read the original poem Hydraulic Jump here.
Water’s strength, in Taoist terms,comes from its ability to yield.
Just as Rome was not built in a day, the Grand Canyon was carved in increments by the flow of the Colorado River.
Gravity, erosion and time can cleave mountains, though it can take an ample amount of that last ingredient.
The through-line? It’s automatic. Insofar as the Colorado River is left largely to its own devices.
And what looks static in the course of a day, a year or a lifetime is actually constantly changing with the topography of its surroundings.
With no mind to straighten their courses, rivers end up as magnificent squiggles, rending valleys and mountains alike.
When a river flows downward (usually in the case of waterfalls) the friction can cause a small portion of the stream to flow in the opposite direction of the current.
This is the eponymous hydraulic jump.
And in that vein, sometimes order can look a whole lot like entropy.
From different perspectives, rivers can take on many different forms.
But at the end of the day, life moves with the squiggles, and is in no rush to adjust.
When you recognize things as they are, then change comes easily– imperceptibly, even.

The Rules of Engagement
We played chicken,
Until the plot thickened,
There was some kicking,
And I was stricken,
And honestly sickened.
Then came the blowback,
And backlash,
Followed by attacks,
Without tact.
We acted,
Like brash asses,
In the pool,
But that’s no place for cruel fools,
Only honorable duels,
Which follow the rules.
Only with conviction
To consistent conventions,
Can Chicken be played.
It demands surgeon-like steady hands,
A strong stance,
And some symmetry,
Balance,
And good ground game.
Without those pieces,
The game ceases,
Animosity increases,
For no good reason.

Views From Lalaland
I’m happy to hobnob,
In the enclave,
Despite the mobs,
And the roads unpaved,
It’s a beautiful place.
Stay away from the villlages,
Those folks aren’t known for hospitality,
Lack dilligence,
And have no mentality,
To speak of.
Climb scenic Mount Delirium,
But don’t read the signs,
And their false criteria,
They’ll try to trick you.
Inhale some helium,
Spin three times,
Stand at the summit,
And survey the land before you,
Beautiful, isn’t it?
Good thing you’ve got no work to do,
Stay as long as you’d like.

Hydraulic Jump
A sudden rise,
In the babbling whitewater,
Runs backwards,
And defies,
The established,
Instability.
Jets spray,
Tourists paddle,
A bear,
Straddles a boulder,
Waiting for trout,
To breach,
Into its open snout,
If it can reach.
The inflatable raft,
Glides over,
The aerated stream,
Rapids,
And drop-offs,
Turning with the bends,
Instead of against them,
Even when they seem to be going,
No place,
It’s not a race,
Just a vacation.

How Sustainable Is Consigning Clothing? The RealReal Is Glad You Asked
There has been a 400 percent increase in the consumption of clothing over the past 20 years, according to data provided by The RealReal. What happens to all of those clothes after they go out of style? The answer is not great. A 2017 report produced by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation with Stella McCartney estimated that one garbage truck full of clothing enters a landfill or is burned every second. According to The RealReal, 95 percent of clothing could be reused or reworn. See the problem?
To help publicize the sustainability of consigning clothing and participating in a circular economy, The RealReal this week quietly rolled out its first consumer-facing Sustainability Calculator. Using women’s garments as a case study, TRR collaborated with experts from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the World Resources Institute, and Shift Advantage to estimate the amount of water and energy saved by consigning a garment versus making that garment new. The calculator is proprietary and apparently the first of its kind; it allows consignors to see the environmental impact of their actions on their My Sales page, where the estimates are shared in a small font beside sellers’ profits. As a user consigns more, those numbers will continue to rise, reflecting a positive impact on the environment in real time.
Some numbers provided by TRR to put it in perspective: Consigning one pair of jeans conserves 279 liters of water. One silk dress saves 30 liters. A cashmere sweater saves 80. (These numbers are averages and estimates based on the fact that TRR does not have transparency into the production of garments listed on its site.) The retailer also estimates a one-third displacement rate, meaning that for every one item consigned, one-third of that item is not produced anew.
“Our clients have told us for years that the sustainability element is one of the biggest motivators for buying or consigning with us, but for the first time we really wanted to be able to quantify exactly how positive consigning is for the environment,” says Allison Sommer, the director of strategic initiatives for The RealReal. “We wanted to make sure that we’re really putting our money where our mouth is and it’s not just marketing jargon. We are credible, and we’re helping lead the conversation around sustainable fashion.”
By tallying the net positive effect of reselling last season’s must-have dress or parka, The RealReal hopes to inspire more consigning and buying—which translates to both sustainability and profit—and also to educate shoppers and brands on the impact of participating in a circular economy. “I see a future where every brand, every retailer, has a resale option,” Sommer says hopefully. “A future where a built-in circular economy is assumed.”
So far Sommer and TRR have found two key fashion-world players to help. Stella McCartney was the first brand to partner with the resale site to offer a $100 gift card for her stores when a user consigned a Stella McCartney item. Now Dôen has linked with The RealReal for the month of April, offering a $50 Dôen credit for every Dôen item consigned at TRR’s New York or Los Angeles stores. To those in the luxury world who dismiss consignment sites like The RealReal, Sommer has this to say: “We really do fuel the primary market, not only by driving our consignors back to shop primary when they see a space in their closet, but also because we’re granting this seemingly newfound income so these consignors are able to go back to primary, buying new, and they’re excited to do so because it has a resale value. It’s full-circle.”

‘Girl Power’ isn’t just a saying
Conversations with… Sarah Clarke (Subject: Ectopic Pregnancy and Miscarriage)
March 8, 2019 October 11, 2019
For most people, ‘Miss Honey’ is the character in Matilda that epitomises having a pure, loving and generous soul. She’s the kind of teacher that every child wishes they had been taught by – optimistic even in the darkest situations, patient even if someone is not getting fractions after the seventh lesson and so unbelievably kind it makes your heart sing just by being around them.
As a teacher in England I was lucky enough to work alongside a real life embodiment of Miss Honey and even luckier to call her a friend, but to reduce someone as brilliant as Sarah down to a fictional character seems completely wrong because she is so much more than Miss Honey could ever dream of being. She is without a doubt the least selfish person I have ever met and undoubtedly the most supportive. She cheers coworkers on on the hardest of days both professionally and personally. I’ve never met someone who looks at others achievements and bravery in the way she does, almost taking their happiness as her own. Every blog post I write she tells me how proud she is of me and she means it. Good or bad, moment of confidence or self doubt, Sarah will be your biggest cheerleader.
It’s almost ironic that when I asked Sarah to give me a brief bio about herself that she described herself as ‘a normal person’ when in reality to so many she is so much more. Her relationship with her husband Michael was ‘couple goals’ long before the term meant flash holidays and ludicrous gifts. They are the kind of couple you look at and go ‘ah, they’ve found each other’. She’s the teacher children cross their fingers to be in her class and the kind of mum to her son Max that you think ‘if I ever have children I want to be like that with them’. I don’t know a single friend of Sarah’s that would describe her as ‘normal’ and having the courage to share her story with you is anything but ‘normal’, but Sarah is humble and not one to brag about herself so that’s why I’m doing it for her.
This interview will talk about miscarriage. It will talk about surgery. It will talk about pregnancy in a real, honest way. It will talk about the strength to try again and to carry on after one of the biggest traumas a person can face. This interview will pull at your heart, make you smile, fill you with a sense of pride over a woman you don’t even know, it might even make you cry, but at the end of it you’ll agree – there is nothing ‘normal’ about Sarah and her courage.
What was your pregnancy journey like?
When Michael and I decided to start trying for a baby we were just so full of excitement and nerves. There was lot of ‘Are we really going to do this?’, but really it was just pure happiness that we were going to start the next chapter of our lives.
We’d been married for around 3 and half years, it was one of those cheesy love at first sight stories. We’ve been each other’s rock, wingman, wing woman and partner in crime ever since then. Having someone who supports you, stands by you and just simply loves you for who you are is just the most amazing thing in the world and we were ready to start a family. We had it all worked out.
We’d gotten pregnant the first month of trying and just couldn’t believe how lucky we were. I remember running down the stairs after randomly taking a pregnancy test and shoving it (a little too closely) in Michael’s face. We were gobsmacked and overjoyed at the same time. We immediately told parents and ran out to buy prenatal vitamins. We couldn’t believe how easy it had happened. In my naivety and excitement we told a couple of close friends and my Senior Leadership team at work – a move that I would later be so glad that I did because their support got me through.
Eight weeks in and I started to feel unwell. I’d been having pain on my right side, nothing excruciating but enough to go the doctors. Three different doctors later and I’d been told it was just ligaments stretching. It wasn’t.
A week later I started bleeding and around 24 hours after that I had lost my baby. Some people might say ‘oh it’s not a baby at that stage’ but to me and my husband it really was our baby. I just remember looking down and hearing this horrendous cry and realising it was coming from me. I just dropped to the floor and cried and cried and cried. I had never felt so devastated, so disgusted with myself or so incredibly guilty in my entire life.
Unfortunately things then got worse. I had a scan and they had confirmed that there was ‘no sign of a foetus’. What the scan had also missed was that my right Fallopian tube had burst, it was obliterated and had, in the process, damaged my left one. I was rushed back in two days later where the most talented senior midwife saved my life by calling a consultant who ordered another scan and discovered the damage. I was rushed straight to surgery.I just remember my husband being right by my side the whole time. They told me afterward that I was hours away from losing my life. Hearing something like that puts things into perspective. It took Michael a long time to recover from that moment, not only had he lost his baby but he had almost lost his wife too.
I slowly began to recover, we were told that our chances of having another baby were slim. I was at my lowest, I genuinely despised myself. I was angry.
6 months later, although very apprehensive, we decided to try again. Miraculously like before, the first month of trying we fell pregnant. And this time it led us to our Max.
How did the ectopic pregnancy change your relationship with yourself?
During those 6 months I was truly disgusted with my body. It had let me down. And then there was the mental torture of ‘did I do something wrong?’ ‘Am I a bad person? Why has this happened to me?’
It was the amazing support system I had around me that got me through it and helped me to build my confidence back up. My wonderful, loving husband never stopped building me back up though. We came out of it so strong. Friends and work colleagues were brilliant, they helped me to get back to into my routine and I started to feel ‘normal’ again. I don’t think anyone ever really gets over something like that though.
People seem to not know what to say to someone who has gone through what you did. What kind of things were said to you that did and didn’t help?
I do think it must have been hard for people to know what the right thing to say was, but most people were really kind. Some comments were not so helpful like ‘maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing because now you can focus on your career’ or ‘it’s just your body getting used to what it’s supposed to do for next time’. Sometimes just listening is enough though. I feel very lucky that I had so many supportive people around me. One special lady sent me a quote a couple of days after I had gotten home from hospital. It said: ‘There is no footprint too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world.’ That meant the world to me because it validated my grief. It helped me to start to heal.
To my surprise, talking openly and bluntly about it helped me to process everything. I also found that some women I knew had been through a similar experience of loss so talking to them really helped. I think talking about loss and recognising loss is important. There are charities that raise awareness of it which also provides people with a platform to share their experiences.
I’ve read that sometimes partners don’t know what to say because they’re trying to be ‘strong’ for their partner and not show their grief as well. Did you find that your relationship with Michael change at all throughout this?
My relationship with Michael didn’t change but we did grow stronger and appreciate each other just that little bit more. I honestly couldn’t wish for a better man to be by my side. He got me through. I think it’s also important to remember that your partner suffers too, Michael was devastated with our loss but he did feel he had to be strong for me.
What was it like to find out you were pregnant with Max after what had happened?
When we found out we were pregnant with Max we were shocked, ecstatic but very anxious. The pregnancy was difficult – I had a large bleed at 12 weeks and thought that was it. I remember praying for this baby to make it… And he did.
Every time we had a scan, seeing that heart beat flickering kept reminding us that he was real and strong and ours. Hearing the heart beat every time I visited my midwife was such a relief. There’s a photo of me when we had reached 30 weeks pregnant and it was a happy moment for us. We sort of turned a corner and started to look forward with more confidence. I don’t think either of us ever truly believed or rather trusted that we were going to be a mum and dad until the moment he was actually born!
What is it like to be a mum?
Becoming a mum is my greatest achievement. Whenever I feel inadequate I just look at Max and think ‘wow, I made you’. The love I feel for him is indescribable. I feel truly privileged to be a mum. Michael and I try to enjoy every moment because we feel so lucky. Sometimes we do need to remind ourselves though that it’s ok to be exhausted and find it really REALLY hard, and that it doesn’t mean that we are being really ungrateful to feel that way. We also try to do something nice each year to remember our first baby.
What would you say to anyone who is struggling with fertility issues them self?
Before my journey began, I don’t think I ever appreciated the fact that many women can struggle to have a baby for many reasons and how deeply upsetting and devastating it can be. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found my happy ending but it’s so sad that what I have may not happen for everyone. I was fortunate. It’s true when they say you never know what someone is going through. Just be kind, just listen.
I hope that reading my story might help someone somewhere know that they aren’t alone in dealing with a loss. When I was asked to do this interview all I could think of was ‘No one wants to read about me!’ But then the more I thought about it, the braver I became and decided to go for it. I found that talking about what had happened helped me to process everything and for me it helped me to grieve and I’d like to thank you so much to anyone who has taken the time to read my journey.

Catherine atkin says:
As Sarah’s mum , I am and have always been very proud of her. Her thought to help others and kindness is her essence , along with her bravery and strength .
You definitely do have an incredible daughter 😊
Hi ladies, thank you SO much for writing this and Sarah, for sharing your incredible story!
I’ve had a scarily similar situation to you in that I had an ectopic 2 weeks ago after what I thought was an 8 week pregnancy – luckily one of my tubes is still ok but at the moment I am feeling all the emotions surrounding a future of the unknown. At the same time, I’m so grateful to be alive after the ordeal, which means my recovery days are in constant flux of feeling happiness at still being here, while other days are so low.
Reading your story Sarah has given me so much hope and the waterworks went into overdrive when I read about Max – I really needed this today so thank you so much again for sharing your brave story!
Love Kate x
First of all thank you so, so much for your comment. Your words really do mean the world. I have screenshot it and sent it to Sarah – I know it will mean so much to her to know that telling her story has helped someone else. When she agreed to the interview, that’s all she wanted to do.
I am so, so sorry for what you have been through. I can’t imagine what you are going through but I really hope that this interview has given you some comfort and some hope.
Sending lots of love to you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Take all the time you need 💕
Love Jess and Sarah x
Hi again Kate – Sarah has asked me to send a message to you so I will copy it underneath here
First of all I’m so so incredibly sorry for your loss. You’re so brave and strong even if you don’t feel it right now. I know how lonely the low days can feel, I blamed myself and I was so angry – try to be kind to yourself though, remember that none of this your fault. You’re a survivor. If you ever need to talk, please get in touch with Jess through her blog and she can let me know. I’m sending a massive hug to you wherever you are. Sarah 💕

Trump calls for review of water efficiency standards, saying people flush the toilet '10 times, 15 times'
By Owen Daugherty - 12/06/19 05:24 PM EST
President Trump Donald John TrumpRouhani says Iran will never seek nuclear weapons Trump downplays seriousness of injuries in Iran attack after US soldiers treated for concussions Trump says Bloomberg is 'wasting his money' on 2020 campaign MORE on Friday said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reviewing water efficiency standards, claiming that some people flush the toilet “10 times, 15 times” due to a lack of water pressure.
“We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms,” Trump said during a small business roundtable at the White House. “You turn the faucet on … and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out.”
He added that “people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. They end up using more water. So EPA is looking at that.”
TRUMP wants to deregulate water systems: "We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks & showers...where you turn the faucet on [&] you don't get any water. They take a shower & water comes dripping out...We are looking very seriously at opening up the standard" pic.twitter.com/VZpD1jXiND
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 6, 2019
Trump also noted other bathroom fixtures have slowed water to a trickle.
“You can’t wash your hands practically, there’s so little water comes out of the faucet, and the end result is you leave the faucet on and it takes you much longer to wash your hands, you end up using the same amount of water,” Trump said.
Trump, known for his penchant to roll back regulations since taking office, also joked that the White House will have to change lightbulbs in some rooms because the new bulb "gives you an orange look."
"The new bulb is many times more expensive, and, I hate to say it, it doesn't make you look as good," he said.
"Of course, being a vain person that's very important to me," Trump added. "It gives you an orange look. I don't want an orange look. Has anyone noticed that?"
President Trump: "The lightbulb... I hate to say it, it doesn't make you look as good. Of course, being a vain person that's very important to me. It gives you an orange look... We'll have to change those bulbs out at least a couple of rooms where I am in the White House." pic.twitter.com/Sb4pptFlIp
— The Hill (@thehill) December 6, 2019
The remarks Friday follow similar comments Trump has made regarding an Obama-era rule that imposed energy efficiency standards on lightbulbs.

Royal Body Language Deep-Dive: Holiday Edition
Tension with Will and Kate?! Loved-Up Meghan and Harry?!
Do Kate and Meghan share a hairdresser? Was Princess Charlotte’s royal wedding flower crown made out of poisonous flowers?! In Royal Report, we dethrone all the royal misinformation out there—and deep-dive into the lives of our favourite princes, princesses and, of course, duchesses.
The festive period is an active time for the royals (especially our very own Buddy-the-Royal-Elf, Kate!) which means, of course, a bonanza time for “body language experts.” It’s a heady combination for these purveyors of a completely unscientific (but endlessly entertaining) art: The Windsors are often out in force, so there’s plenty of interpersonal interaction to dig one’s analytical teeth into, and they’re usually in semi-informal situations, which, in theory, ought to mean they’re less guarded, and their true emotions more likely to be out there for every tabloid “professional” to dissect.
And so, as a late (or early, should one celebrate Orthodox Christmas) Yuletide gift to you all, we’ve rounded up the best of the prognostications, interpretations, and pure speculations of “what the royal body language really revealed!” of this past December. Enjoy…and take it with the same amount of salt you’d use to de-ice the long, winding driveway up to Sandringham.
#1. When Kate gave Wills the brush-off
A Berry Royal Christmas, Will and Kate’s holiday TV special co-hosted by the iconic Mary Berry, was a smorgasbord of wholesome delights—worthy charities! competitive roulade-making! ALL the twinkly lights!—but there was one…off moment that caught the internet’s eye. Roll the dodgy-filmed-on-someone’s-TV tape:
Kate shaking off William's hand on her shoulder during #ABerryRoyalChristmas pic.twitter.com/NyzjdKC3rk
— Caitlin McBride (@mcbride_caitlin) December 16, 2019
Kate’s shimmying-off of Wills’s hand on her arm set the headline machine into overdrive, generating such bangers as the Mirror’s “Kate Middleton ‘recoils’ as Prince William touches her” and the Express’s “‘Ouch!’ Kate shakes off William’s hand to dodge public display of affection.” One could jump to the conclusion that this is further evidence of the rift that rumours surfaced about in 2019. But what did the body language experts make of it? Well, according to Annie Gurton, speaking to Yahoo! Australia, Kate is “really cross with William” and “it may be that there is something going on between them and they have recently had a row.” The other option, of course, is that espoused by Cosmo’s expert Blanca Cobb: Kate was just surprised. “Maybe she was deep in conversation with the lady sitting across from her and didn’t realize she was doing it,” Cobb suggests. “Sometimes, when someone leans on you or touches you, you will move. It’s truly just a reflex.” Uh, way too logical there, Blanca.
#2. The Queen baring her soul before the nation
JK, that’s just not our Stiff-Upper-Lip-Don’t-Complain-Never-Explain Liz. That didn’t stop people, however, from eagerly tuning into the Queen’s annual Christmas Day televised speech to see if she was going to spill the beanz on any of the royal drama that’s been going down this year—or even reveal the strain that the Prince Andrew scandal, Will and Harry’s feud and Prince Phillip’s health challenges have had on her. Yeah, not so much. Verbally, the only nod she gave to those potential troubles (but also Brexit probably?) was using the adjective “bumpy” to describe 2019. Non-verbally, she seemed to give away even less. Per Blanca Cobb, via Cosmo, she “came across polished and eloquent…and completely unfazed. She was non-reactionary when she, perhaps, hinted about any turmoil.” This was not, after all, One’s first rodeo.
#3. Something weird going on between Will and Kate at the Royal Christmas Walk
The annual royal Christmas walk to church on Christmas morning marked a massive milestone for both Charlotte and George—it was their first time being included! Charlotte took to the royal glad-handing with aplomb, conducting her first mini-walkabout with confidence and beautiful manners, scoring a stuffed pink flamingo from a well-wisher along the way. George, more shy than his sister in general, was a little more reserved, but hardly disgraced the House of Windsor, either. It was not, however, the behaviour of those two tiny tots that caught the eye of body language experts. Instead, it was something odd in how their parents were acting. “They tend to convey an air of warmth and balance,” Patti Wood told Elite Daily, noting that they just didn’t seem as in sync as they usually are. She points to Kate’s “tight grip” on her purse at one point, and her “tight jaw” as she appears to avoid making eye contact with Wills at another moment. “You’re not seeing that mutual gaze,” she says. As for Wills? “You see a little bit of a downward posture from him,” she adds. None of this, of course, needs to sound the Divorce Klaxon. Wood stresses that they’re both in a fairly, uh, stressful situation (hello, wrangling your children in front of the ENTIRE world) so it could just be that pressure showing through, potentially combined with the effects of one too many of the Queen’s signature cocktail the night before.
#4. Princess Bea walking tall after all the controversy surrounding her father
Someone who *was* relaxed on that royal Christmas walk to church? Our Beatrice, strolling in on the arm of her fiance, Edo. The possible reasons for the big smile on her face are two-fold: One, the Queen made an exception to her no-ring-no-bring rule and allowed her to have her man with her for the royal Christmas celebration; two, that her father (the source of so much pain over the past few months) made himself conspicuously absent from the occasion and stayed back at the house. According to Cosmo’s Blanca Cobb, she’s “walking tall and confidently” and “If anything, the similar stride and posture of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo speaks to the emotional connection between the engaged couple. They’re in a good place.”
#5. Meghan and Harry’s cocoon of mutual regard
Holed up in Canada, and given their total absence from public life, the Sussexes didn’t give anyone much to work with this December. Naturally, that meant anything they did release to the world would be heavily dissected. Cue the analyses of the body language in their Christmas card: “The pose shows the tight affection between Harry and his wife as they sit on the floor in mirrored poses,” Judi James told the Express. “The way their eyes are on their son rather than looking straight into camera makes them still appear rather lost in their own trio of love here.” CUTE.

Scorecard: Deutsche Bank is lending big league to Manhattan’s top landlords
A round-up of news and reports on the commercial market
Oct.October 28, 2016 07:30 AM
By Adam Pincus
Deutsche Bank has been the most active lender this year on pricey Manhattan cash-flowing properties, a review by The Real Deal found.
The German bank provided at least $3.8 billion of approximately $19 billion in deals of $100 million or more that were recorded through August 31, 2016. Deutsche lent $900 million on Related Companies’ 10 Hudson Yards office building, which opened earlier this year, and another $900 million on SL Green Realty and Vornado Realty Trust’s jointly owned 280 Park Avenue.
Despite some turbulence, the cheap debt market helped lower the cost of issuing preferred stock, too. Ashish Parikh, CFO at Hersha Hospitality Trust, told investors on an earnings call in July that the hotel REIT raised $192.5 million through preferred shares this year, paying a 6.5 percent dividend rate, “the lowest cost of capital in company history.”
Meanwhile, lenders provided $3.1 billion of construction loans over $100 million so far this year in Manhattan. Bank of America led the biggest commitment, a $690 million loan to Related for its 30 Hudson Yards development project.
PNC Bank issued the third largest loan so far this year, to a development group led by RXR Realty , for its 480,000-square-foot project at Pier 57. “You’ve got to be a known entity with real projects and a real balance sheet to get the good terms,” RXR’s William Elder told TRD.

Turkish Designer Seckin Ilker Joins Nolcha Fashion Week: New York
NEW YORK, /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Turkish Designer, Seckin Ilker, proudly debuts her Fall/Winter 2012 Collection at Nolcha Fashion Week: New York this February. Held simultaneously with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Nolcha is one of New York's leading platforms for global independent fashion designers.
Ilker's new collection for this season is inspired by "reflections of emotions," with high quality garments made from silk, taffeta, organdy and French lace which create an elegant look. Ilker's line will also include her bridal extension, "Silhouette Bride," with a focus on reflecting the emotions behind "innocence," and "purity." The bridal line will be light weight including wedding dresses, evening dresses, and even a more casual take on a mini wedding dress. This season's color palette will integrate a contrast between red, black and dark blue, to pink, salmon and cream with an emphasis on romance.
Named after the Turkish designer herself, Seckin Ilker Fashion House was first opened in Istanbul, Turkey seven years ago. Ilker began her career producing haute couture lines for her showroom, which attracted both local and international clients. She later grew in to designing eccentric ready to wear collections and in 2010, she created her second brand, Silhouette Bride, for wedding and evening dresses. Silhouette Bride has become one of the 'must visit' stores on Badgat Avenue in Istanbul.
The CEO Of Coca-Cola Reveals Why The Company Will Never Make Alcoholic Beverages
Since Muhtar Kent took the helm of Coca-Cola, in July 2008, he has set a course for ambitious, long-term growth—even in a supposedly mature U.S. market—with the goal of doubling revenue by 2020. Kent has tried to rejuvenate an inward-looking, “arrogant” corporate culture and has reinvested cost-cutting dividends in brand development. In an edited interview with HBR’s editor in chief, Adi Ignatius, he talks about the company’s sustainability initiatives, the value of having 33 million Facebook fans, and why an executive should never have dinner alone.
“Most of the meetings we were holding were just with ourselves. We weren’t going out to see how the world was changing.”

Kobe to Turkey: Team Is Wishing and Pitching
Besiktas, the Turkish basketball team that hooked New Jersey's Deron Williams, is fishing in deeper waters now.
Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the team wants Kobe Bryant to come over during the NBA lockout. While landing the Lakers star is a huge longshot, Wojnarowski says the team has "a puncher's chance."
Bryant grew up in Italy and likes life overseas. In addition, he has a huge endorsement deal with Turkish Airlines.
"If Kobe doesn't want to miss a whole season if there's a lockout, and likes to live in one of Europe's greatest cities, in Istanbul, and wants to play with Deron Williams, why not?" coach Ergin Ataman said.

Turkey Went through Unbelievable and Great Changes in the Last 20 Years, Cenk Uygur Says
WASHINGTON (A.A) - An anchorman of the U.S. TV station MSNBC and founder of the world's biggest online news program "The Young Turks", Cenk Uygur, said Wednesday that Turkey went through unbelievable and great changes in the last 20 years.
Uygur participated in the Turkish-American National Leadership Conference that took place in U.S. capital of Washington last week.
In an exclusive interview with the AA on Wednesday, Cenk Uygur said that giant shopping malls stood in Istanbul currently where he used to ride his bike as a child.
The developments in Turkey are simply unbelievable. Turkey's economy is growing enermously. Turkey is one of the biggest 20 economies of the world and it continues to grow. Turkey seems to be the center of foreign investments in the world. I can not tell you how fascinating it is to see such a development in Turkey, Uygur said.

New York Life Agent Turkic Rahmonov Named Lives Protected Champion
NEW YORK, NY – Dilshodjon Rahmonov from the Manhattan General Office of New York Life Insurance Company was recently named a Lives Protected Champion. This recognition is attained by agents who in the 4th quarter of 2010 helped protect the most families in their communities with life insurance. Four hundred agents out of more than 11,800 licensed New York Life agents across the country were recognized for assisting the greatest number of policyholders with exceptional life insurance sales productivity. Mr. Rahmonov, was named the top Lives Protected Champion among “new to the organization” or “new org” agents, who are agents in the business for less than five years.
With more than 40 percent of American households reporting they need more life insurance* – the highest level ever reported – the demand for professional agents in local communities across the country has never been greater.
OpenSecrets.org Announces Winners of 2011 Money-in-Politics Oscars
The turbulent world of political influence may lack the glitz, glamour and cameras of Sunday's 83rd annual Academy Awards. But the paparazzi may yet be intrigued by a collection of eye-popping, eyebrow-raising political contributions from Hollywood royalty that'd make John Boehner turn a new shade of red and Barack Obama see green. The 2nd annual OpenSecrets.org Money-in-Politics Oscars return today to bestow awards on Academy Awards nominees who best emblematize the cozy relationship between the cinematic and political elite.
The big six Academy Awards are best picture, best director, best lead actor, best lead actress, best supporting actor and best supporting actress. Of the various individuals up for those awards, 19 of them have contributed to politicians, political parties, political action committees and 527 organizations since the 1990 election cycle, the Center for Responsive Politics finds.
And they aren't very friendly to Republicans.
Of the more than $1.3 million of hard money donated by this particular cast -- contributions to candidates, parties or PACs -- more than $1.24 million benefitted Democrats. Among contributions that had identifiable partisan identification, 99 percent supported the Democratic Party, candidates and PACs.

US military aid to Ukraine – 100 armored Humvees arrived in Odessa
Today 100 armored vehicles of the US Army (Humvees) arrived in Odessa via ship, which were delivered to the Kiev government. Previously, the Pentagon chief Ashton Carter and the Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak had discussed how they could provide “US assistance to Ukraine in terms of safety”.
“The Vice President […] reiterated the U.S. position in full support of the approaches of Ukraine for further settlement of the situation in Donbass“, Sputnik cites Poroshenko’s website.
“Another 100 Humvees” – This promise was fulfilled today by US Vice President Joseph Biden with the supply of 100 Humvees to Odessa. It is part of a larger, long-term military cooperation of the USA with the Ukrainian government.
Confidential document on Ukraine by the RAND Corporation leaked
A strategic document by the US military think tank RAND Corporation on the plan in eastern Ukraine was leaked. The Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko follows the action plan proposed by RAND analysts. The document provides three stages of a military operation in eastern Ukraine.
During the first stage of the military operation in Ukraine martial law should be introduced, considering that all local citizens are terrorists or sympathizers. Regions supporting militias must be completely isolated. All types of communications should be blocked, curfews should be established.
The second stage of the plan involves the seizure of territories. The cities should be entered with armed vehicles, which open fire on all armed people. All the men sent to filtration camps. People featuring traces of combat engagement shall be tried in court for terrorism.
The third phase of the plan involves the restoration of the regions. The borders shall be strengthened to avoid possible provocations. All the refugees should be checked for possible support for separatists in internment camps.
The document stresses that the area of operation should not be representatives of the foreign media. Should also be carried out mass propaganda campaign.
Fulltext of the document:
Confidential document prepared by the RAND corporation:
On the advisable course of action in case the peace plan fails
In case further negotiation with southeast Ukrainian Insurgents should prove futile, the only practicable solution should be a swift crackdown on the separatists and terrorists, to be undertaken irrespective of public opinion or operation costs. Procrastination would dramatically reduce the operation’s chances of success.
Possible political and material downsides of an operation should be greatly outweighed by the following probable gains:
Activists of a pro-Russian political movement get decimated, pro-Russian voters get disorganized.
A significant share of the region’s coal industries get destroyed in the fighting, or are otherwise designated for a quick shutdown, thus relieving Ukraine’s budget of the burdensome subsidy costs.
Shutting down Donbas Industries will mean a stark reduction in gas consumption, and therefore a lesser dependency on Russian energy imports.
Rinat Akhmetov and his clan’s political and economic clout is considerably weakened.
Ukraine’s current economic and social difficulties can be explained to the public as the unwanted yet unavoidable consequences of the military operation, which the Ukrainian government has been keen yet unable to avoid due to the terrorists’ Intransigence.
The Presumable Stages of a Military Operation
Stage One: Total isolation of the rebel region
Considering that any resident of the Donetsk Region and the Lugansk Region has had enough time and opportunities to leave the area of hostilities provided that they wanted to do so, anyone who has stayed behind should be regarded as complicit in the unrest, or supportive of it.
Martial law shall be introduced in the defiant regions. All local authorities shall have their competencies terminated, the Constitution shall be suspended. Direct presidential rule shall be imposed.
The region shall be encircled with troops and sealed off entirely from any flow of goods and persons, both incoming and outgoing. Special attention shall be given to areas that border on Russia. Broadcasting services, Internet connection, telephone and mobile communications in the region shall be shut down. A curfew shall be imposed between 20:00 and 06:00. International media staff working in the region shall be subject to a special procedure.
Stage two: Mop-up
The circle of troops around the rebel region shall be tightened gradually. Ground assaults shall be prece4ded by air strikes against the enemy’s strategic facilities, artillery and mortar teams, and bunched-up troops. The use of non-conventional arms shall not be ruled out in certain cases in order to ensure smaller casualties among our own personnel.
Settlements shall be liberated one by one, with armor going in first and wiping out the remaining pockets of resistance, shooting to kill anyone who bears arms. Infantry shall move in next to relocate male adults into internment camps. Anyone who attempts to resist shall be executed on the spot. Children aged under 13 and people older than 60 shall be moved to specially equipped facilities in areas that are further away from the zone of the anti-terrorist operation.
Internment camps shall set up outside the settlements that have been cleared, and guarded by units who are considered to be ideologically safe. People featuring traces of combat engagement, like bruises, scuff marks, gunshot and fragment wounds, traces of gunpowder and gun oil on the skin and clothes, shall be tried in court for separatism and terrorism. After a two-month period of internment, the remaining individuals shall be allowed to return to places of their residence and be placed under surveillance by security services.
Stage 3: Back to Normal
Military specialists shall be employed to restore water, heat, power supplies and communications.
The borders shall be strengthened, with checkpoints set up to avoid possible provocations by Russia and to prepare for a massive return of refugees. Those who fled the war zone shall be allowed to return to their place of residence. However, men aged 18-60 shall be checked for possible support for separatists in internment camps. The property of convicted and displaced residents of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions shall be nationalized by the state and later awarded to the servicemen who would be distinguished for valor during the anti-terrorist campaign.
Special focus shall be made on information security, which means that the area of the anti-terrorist campaign shall be made off limits to foreign media. Stories of heroism and courage of Ukraine’s armed forces, the National Guard and other armed units in saving civilians in the east of Ukraine from terrorists and armed gangs shall be spread as broadly as possible.
Note: If the active stage of the anti-terrorist operation ends no later than September 1, 2014, martial law shall be lifted no earlier than January 1, 2015.
3. May 2014, 1:10
OSCE: There was no mission in eastern Ukraine
The OSCE spokesman Neukirch stated in an interview on Austrian television and that the soldiers who were detained in eastern Ukraine are not part of any OSCE mission, but in fact members of an intelligence mission of the German army.
The OSCE spokesman Claus Neukirch has confirmed on Austrian broadcaster ORF that the detainees were not acting in Slavjansk within the framework of the OSCE Mission and no were no observers. So far, the OSCE had no contact with them.
How Neukirch explained, is not to OSCE military experts, but military observers, who were under the guise of the OSCE mandate way to Slavjansk. Currently it is not the OSCE that is negotiating with the people who arrested the soldiers, but the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office of Germany. The Ukrainian government has invited these experts, as well as three soldiers and an interpreter.

Kenneth B. Kidd: Goodbye, Maurice. And thank you.
Posted on May 10, 2012 by uminnpress
Moishe from Where the Wild Things Are. Image via Flickr.
But the wild things cried,
Oh, please don’t go
We’ll eat you up
We love you so
And Max said:
And we roared our terrible roars, and gnashed our terrible teeth, and rolled our terrible eyes, and showed our terrible claws, but Maurice Sendak stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye.
Sendak was one of our most gifted and prolific author-illustrators – for everyone, child, adult, what have you. He was also a living legend.
Unlike some friends and colleagues, I didn’t know Sendak personally. Like so many of my generation, I grew up on Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen and other Sendak productions. For a brief period in college I was obsessed with the Carole King rendition of “Pierre” from The Nutshell Library. (I’m not proud, but I don’t care!). Later I acquired his illustrated version of Melville’s Pierre. All along, I had this sense that Sendak was familiar; I felt a strange kinship with him. Eventually, of course, I realized he was family.
Sendak came out to the general public in a 2008 New York Times profile by Patricia Cohen, in which he mentions the recent death of his long-time partner, Dr. Eugene Glynn, (not incidentally) a child psychologist. He also talks about how tricky it was to be a gay man working in children’s literature in pre-Stonewall New York (he began his career in the late 40s and early 50s).
But Sendak wasn’t only gay; he was queer, by all measures of that term. He was eccentric, irascible, difficult. And very funny. Anyone who’s watched the Stephen Colbert interviews knows this. “He is not, as children’s book writers are often supposed, an everyman’s grandpapa,” writes Patricia Cohen. “His hatreds are fierce and grand, as if produced by Cecil B. DeMille.” Sendak declared himself not overly fond of children or of people in general. By his own report he preferred the company of dogs. If Sendak took a while to come out, his queerness was long on display in interviews, speeches, and certainly in his work.
In that work Sendak found not a safe but an exuberant space for self-expression and even social transformation. There are lots of queerish children in his picturebooks – imaginative, theatrical children, slightly rebellious children, children not drawn to the usual norms. And thanks to the success of Where the Wild Things Are, Sendak could do things his way, share his distinctive vision of childhood and the world. Sendak recognized that children have large, dramatic inner lives, even when they do not (as, unfortunately, they often do) face loss and hardship. Sendak insisted that the only way to “protect” children was to teach them about the world, its evils and disappointments included.
He was a fierce advocate of telling the truth.
Recently I wrote about Sendak as the quintessential “picturebook psychologist.” Others before Sendak, I suggest, recognized the emotional and cultural power of the picturebook. Sendak built on and indeed greatly expanded that power, developing further the notion that a picturebook encounter could be vitally transformative. The master practitioner of the genre is therefore an important player in the life of the child, perhaps even something of a lay expert on childhood – creative and intuitive rather than officially credentialed or scientifically trained.
Sendak cultivated and relished his role as an authority on the inner and imaginative world of childhood. No wonder famed child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, author of The Uses of Enchantment, understood Sendak immediately as a rival, and denounced Where the Wild Things Are (he later changed his tune). Sendak’s reputation as a picturebook master only grew over the decades.
Tributes and recollections are rolling in. Could be the select company I keep, but my Facebook newsfeed is a virtual wake. It’s a huge loss, no question. We are down in the dumps – way down. Still, there’s some comfort in all the stories and anecdotes, and even in the passionate mourning.
Goodbye, Maurice. And thank you.
Kenneth B. Kidd is associate professor of English at the University of Florida. He is author of Freud in Oz: At the Intersections of Psychoanalysis and Children’s Literature (Minnesota, 2011) and Making American Boys: Boyology and the Feral Tale (Minnesota, 2004) and coeditor (with Sidney I. Dobin) of Wild Things: Children’s Culture and Ecocriticism and (with Michelle Ann Abate) of Over the Rainbow: Queer Children’s and Young Adult Literature.
“This canny and original study (Freud in Oz) is far more searching, wide-ranging, and fun than its modest title suggests. Kenneth B. Kidd not only analyzes but somehow evokes for us the way the child and stories told about her drift through our dreams, literature, and culture, giving form to our finest aspirations and darkest nightmares. An essential, generous, deeply-informed book.”

Perfectly said. Thank you for this.

Thanks, Kenneth. Well said. My \”Facebook newsfeed is a virtual wake,\” too. For all of us in children's literature, he was the big papa, the great one, the most wild thing of all. Whether we knew him or not, we all mourn his passing. We all miss him.
Marah says:
A lovely tribute! Thank you Kenneth.

Overturning the Precarity Penalty
May 23, 2015 by wpcroberts Leave a Comment
The Poverty and Employment Precarity in Southern Ontario Research Alliance (PEPSO) released an important new report this past week. This mammoth study not only updates PEPSO’s detailed report published two years ago, it extends the analysis of precarity to the ways in which insecurity affects workers’ health, their families, and their children’s life chances. In the process, the report reveals the complex ways in which income and employment insecurity reinforce vulnerability and marginalization far beyond the workplace. The study is chock-a-block with insights and recommendations, many from the United States and Western Europe, for combatting precariousness.
As with the Workers’ Action Centre report released in March, many of the recommendations are explicitly aimed at the Ontario government’s review of the provincial Labour Relations Act and Employment Standards Act. The review comes in the wake of a decade and a half of profound transformation in Ontario’s industrial base and employment composition (see Kaylie Tiessen’s excellent 2014 CCPA-Ontario report for an overview). The long appreciation of the Canadian dollar punctuated by the 2008-09 recession ushered in falling output and employment in Ontario manufacturing and an expansion of low-productivity service-sector employment and self-employment. Fully 35% of employment growth since 2000 has occurred in sales and service occupations, in which the median hourly wage falls well below the low-wage threshold of two-thirds of the full-time median hourly wage earned by Ontario workers.
In this context, the increase in part-time and temporary employment reflects the spread of business strategies that emphasize low labour costs, since employers are able to pay these workers less than full-time, permanent employees.
Workers confined to non-standard employment are therefore commonly penalized on account of it. 45% of core age Ontario part-time workers would like to work full-time, but cannot find full-time work or secure more hours of work from their employer.
The PEPSO report proposes to eradicate the precarity penalty by simultaneously raising the productivity of low-wage private services and improving the incomes and conditions of the workers employed in those industries. In addition to raising the minimum wage and implementing a living wage, the report mentions the idea of precarity pay (requiring a 15-25% wage premium to compensate temporary and casual workers). It may also be worthwhile to examine laws preventing wage and benefit discrimination against part-time and temporary employees, and requiring the equal treatment of workers in different forms of employment. The Ontario labour law and employment standards review will not address the gender wage gap, which the Ontario government has committed to addressing. But it could in principle examine efforts in other countries to prohibit wage and employment discrimination against non-standard workers, some of which are outlined in the ILO’s 2015 World Employment and Social Outlook, also released this week.

An Experience of Customer Consultancy
Mo, Me & airbnb is an original story of my AirBnb experience, both working as a consultant with the team, and as an AirBnb guest. I had the pleasure of working on a project for AirBnb and fell in love with the company. I have been so impressed with their values and passion and how everyone embraces this throughout the organisation. They have managed to create a place where you belong; whether it’s an idyllic cottage in the west of Ireland, or a loft in downtown Manhattan. I have been an AirBnb guest a number of time now, and this is a video is a record of my first AirBnb experience. Along with my trusted companion, rescue dog Mo, we stayed at the picturesque Comfortable Quiet House in Galway. Here is our story from Maurice Whelan on Vimeo.

May TV ratings: See how your favorite Austin news station fared
KXAN’s evening anchor team includes sports director Roger Wallace, left, news anchors Sydney Benter and Robert Hadlock and chief forecaster Jim Spencer.
TV stations across the country wrapped up the all-important May “sweeps” period Wednesday, pulling out all the stops to get viewers to tune in.
Looking at total households and the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults ages 25-54, NBC affiliate KXAN and ABC affiliate KVUE were the frontrunners, for the most part.
KVUE was the station to beat in the morning, while KXAN was the frontrunner in the evening.
CBS Austin, meanwhile, reported that it saw year-over-year growth for six of the seven newscasts it produces weekdays, including a 27 percent increase in households at 10 p.m. That was enough to push “CBS Austin News at 10 p.m.” into second place, behind KXAN and ahead of KVUE.
“I am proud of this team’s hard work,” said Amy Villarreal, vice president and general manager for CBS Austin and Telemundo Austin. “CBS Austin News is committed to winning breaking news on all platforms, providing important consumer advocacy reports and producing exclusive content in all newscasts. We will continue to work hard to be a trusted news source for our Central Texas viewers.”

Mornings, in particular, were especially competitive, with less than one rating point separating the top three contenders.
“We continue to stand by our commitment to producing in-depth stories in all newscasts and investigating the issues that affect our local community,” KXAN vice president and general manager Eric Lassberg said. “We work as hard as we can to follow up on the tips we receive from the people of Central Texas; please keep them coming because it’s working to get results. The entire KXAN staff is honored to continue being the top choice for local news in Central Texas.”
Looking at national news broadcasts, ABC’s “Good Morning America” is the most-watched network morning show in Austin, while “NBC Nightly News” is the nighttime network newscast of choice here.
In prime time, Fox was the network to beat in Central Texas, followed by NBC, CBS, ABC, The CW and then MyNetworkTV.
CBS’ Stephen Colbert wins the late-night TV race among local viewers, followed by NBC’s Jimmy Fallon and then ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.

KXAN names new weeknight anchor
Sydney Benter (KXAN photo)
KXAN has wrapped up its search for a new weeknight anchor to sit alongside veteran Austin broadcaster Robert Hadlock.
Sydney Benter will take over for Shannon Wolfson, the city’s NBC affiliate announced Tuesday.
Wolfson revealed in August that she’ll be leaving the station in late November to focus more time on her family and to do some traveling.
Benter arrives from Cincinnati, Ohio, where she works as an anchor and reporter for the city’s CBS and MyNetworkTV affiliates.
“I’m looking forward to joining an award-winning team with such a strong commitment to quality storytelling,” Benter said. “In a day and age when news is available 24 hours a day and in 140 characters or less, KXAN’s in-depth, investigative approach sets it apart from all the rest.”
Benter will start in mid-December, according to KXAN, co-anchoring the station’s top-rated 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts, as well as the 9 p.m. newscast on sister station KNVA, Austin’s CW affiliate.
“Sydney is a stand-out storyteller who has a captivating and compassionate way of communicating,” KXAN news director Chad Cross said. “Her dynamic reporting style will complement our team.”
A Cincinnati native, Benter has a journalism degree from the University of Cincinnati.
“At KXAN, we remain focused on delivering the most compelling and informative local reporting that touches the daily lives of our viewers,” said Eric Lassberg, vice president and general manager for KXAN and KNVA. “After conducting a nationwide search, we found Sydney aligns with our in-depth, investigative brand.”

Anchor Shannon Wolfson leaving KXAN

KXAN news anchor Shannon Wolfson will leave the city’s NBC affiliate later this year.
Wolfson, who co-anchors with Robert Hadlock at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. on KXAN and at 9 p.m. on sister station KNVA, will depart in late November to focus more time on her family and to do some traveling, according to a post on kxan.com.
“If I were to continue in TV news, I’d be staying right here at KXAN,” Wolfson said in the post. “This is one of the strongest news operations in the country, and I have been so lucky to be an anchor at KXAN. I would like to thank my KXAN family and our loyal viewers for the incredible support.”
During two different stints at the station, the University of Texas graduate has held a variety of positions, including general assignments reporter, investigative reporter, 9 p.m. anchor and, since 2013, co-anchor of all four evening newscasts produced by KXAN.
Wolfson took over for Leslie Rhode, who also left the station citing a desire to spend more time with her family.
Wolfson’s job has already been posted on kxan.com.

In the race to keep you informed before you head to work or school each morning, two Austin TV stations are duking it out for first place.
ABC affiliate KVUE and NBC affiliate KXAN have been relatively close in the pre-dawn hours for the past several years, with KXAN winning most head-to-head competitions. May was different, though, with KVUE taking the top spot at 4:30 a.m., 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., according to Nielsen.
“This win was all about teamwork,” KVUE president and general manager Kristie Gonzales said. “From the producers and staff behind the scenes, to the team you wake up to every morning, each person put their heart and soul into making ‘Daybreak’ the best morning newscast in Austin.”
KVUE also was home to the top-rated midday newscast.
Evenings, KXAN continues to be the station to beat, dominating at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. “KXAN News at 6,” for instance, draws more viewers than the second- and third-place stations combined.
In primetime, NBC was No. 1, followed by CBS, ABC, Fox, The CW and then MyNetworkTV.

Austin NBC affiliate KXAN is shaking up its daytime lineup starting next week.
“Studio 512,” the station’s lifestyle show, will move to 11 a.m. and expand from 30 minutes to an hour. It currently airs at 12:30 p.m.
Joe Barlow, entertainment reporter for The CW Austin, will join “Studio 512” host Amanda Tatom on the expanded program, “adding a fun new perspective and local entertainment reports to the show’s focus on local food, style, fitness and family.”
“The local content expansion is simply an effort to provide our viewers with more content specifically relevant to their lives here in Central Texas,” said Eric Lassberg, president and general manager of KXAN and sister stations KNVA and KBVO. “Our mission is all about serving the people of this local community valuable, interesting and relevant content.”
With “Studio 512” moving to an earlier time slot, KXAN’s noon newscast will expand to a full hour, running from noon to 1 p.m.
The newscast was initially an hour long when it first launched, but was trimmed back when “Studio 512” debuted in 2014.
“This is a return to our hour-long noon newscast format so we can provide in-depth coverage of the day’s most important developments,” KXAN news director Chad Cross said.
Kate Weidaw anchors KXAN’s noon newscast.
As part of the changes, Rachael Ray’s syndicated talk show, which had aired at 11 a.m., is moving to 2 p.m., displacing “Crime Watch Daily.”

February TV ratings: KXAN wins mornings and evenings
KXAN’s newscasts were No. 1 at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
KXAN continues to be Austin’s No. 1 choice for TV news, winning virtually every head-to-head competition in February, according to the latest Nielsen ratings.
The city’s NBC affiliate took the top spot at 5 a.m., 6 a.m., 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
At 4:30 a.m., KXAN and KVUE tied, while KVUE is home to Austin’s top-rated midday newscast.
KXAN’s margin of victory, in most cases, was well into the double digits, averaging 54 percent. Its 6 p.m. newscast had 80 percent more viewers than the No. 2 station and was watched by more people than the No. 2 and No. 3 stations combined.
Those numbers make KXAN one of the highest-rated NBC affiliates in the country, the station said.
“Each story KXAN investigated in February uncovered valuable information viewers couldn’t get anywhere else,” KXAN news director Chad Cross said. “This critical reporting affects your investments, safety and well-being. Viewers trust KXAN as their source for local news because we focus on what affects their lives.”
In primetime, NBC was the English-language network to beat in February, followed by CBS, ABC, Fox, The CW and then MyNetworkTV.

Brittany Glas joins KXAN’s investigative team

KXAN has filled one of its two investigative reporter openings by promoting from within.
Brittany Glas, who joined the station as a reporter in August 2016, is shifting fulltime to the KXAN Investigates team, KXAN said.
Glas arrived in Austin after a stint as an investigative reporter and fill-in anchor at KSNW in Wichita, Kan. Both KXAN and KSNW are owned by Irving-based Nexstar Media Group.
Glas joins “one of the largest units of its kind at a local television station,” according to Eric Lassberg, president and general manager for KXAN and sister stations KNVA and KBVO.
“She has quickly proven to be excellent at uncovering information and cultivating contacts in Austin,” Lassberg said.
A posting for the second investigative reporter opening is currently up on kxan.com.
The vacancies were created earlier this year when Arezow Doost and Kevin Schwaller left the station.
Doost joined KXAN after spending eight years as a reporter at CBS-owned KTVT in Dallas. Earlier in her career, she worked at Austin’s Fox 7.
Schwaller was at KXAN for about three and a half years, coming here from a station in Springfield, Mo.

Britain Faces Energy Crisis, Engineers Warn – Green Isn’t Working

Via The GWPF
Energy bills will soar as green policies shut coal-fired power stations and cause an “electricity supply crisis”, experts say. Prices will be forced up as the UK has to import more power, according to a report by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers today. –Craig Woodhouse, The Sun, 26 January 2016
The UK is heading for a severe electricity supply crisis by 2025, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME) is warning today. IME, which has more than 112,000 members in 140 countries says the closure of coal and nuclear plants would lead to a 40-55% shortfall amid growing demand. And the group’s new report – Engineering the UK Electricity Gap – also says plans to plug the gap by building combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants are unrealistic as the UK would need about 30 of them in less than 10 years. IME head of energy and environment Jenifercorr Baxter, lead author of the document, said: “The UK is facing an electricity supply crisis. As the UK population rises and with the greater use of electricity use in transport and heating, it looks almost certain that electricity demand is going to rise.” –Keith Findlay, Energy Voice, 26 January 2016

Latest news, browser tips and insights from the Vivaldi team
Japan is Vivaldi’s biggest market. Tatsuki Tomita co-founded Vivaldi with Jon von Tetzchner in 2014. Today he’s amazed by the big following Vivaldi has in his home country.
Published on December 12, 2017 – By Olga Apostolova
Tatsuki Tomita co-founded Vivaldi with Jon von Tetzchner in 2014. Here’s what he thinks has helped Vivaldi become popular in Japan.
“Jon and I had worked together at Opera for many years. Among many things, I was responsible for business in Japan and other Asian countries. I always had a lot of respect for Jon and admired his vision. We had a very good relationship all along.”
After Jon left Opera, Tatsuki was not in touch with him as much until one day in 2013 they met up in San Francisco.
“It happened so that when Jon visited San Francisco we reconnected and started talking about our current interests, mostly technology. Jon and I think differently but we complement each other. Eventually, we said, ‘Why don’t we do something new together?’ Through multiple discussions after that, we agreed on one single idea which was a browser.”
Both Tatsuki and Jon saw the need for a browser like Vivaldi.
“We felt that, just like us, many people out there were missing customization options and high level of configuration which technical users tend to prefer in a browser. Nobody was doing this and we thought it was a worthy need to fulfill. It was also a personal challenge because we had done this before but we knew that times had changed, the technology had changed. We asked ourselves, ‘Can we do this again?’”
Sense of community is important for the Japanese
Vivaldi launched in beta in 2015 and both Jon and Tatsuki could immediately see that interest was high. Japan was already a big market with very high numbers during this stage. When Vivaldi launched its Stable version in 2016, the uptake in Japan was impressive.
“When I go to Japan and speak to our users there, I see a lot of passion. People in Japan have a sense of community that goes beyond Vivaldi being just a browser. I feel that our mission resonates with people over there. They want to make a difference, and to be part of the movement. They don’t want the browser market to be controlled by a few giant American companies. I got the impression that they feel that they need to help these ‘little guys’ fight against them.”
Tatsuki has seen that the Japanese tech community has supported many smaller software projects in the past, but for them, it’s not simply a case of David against Goliath.
“The project has to have the right philosophy. People need to see that the ones they support are the good guys – the right guys to support.”
Jon and Tatsuki during a meet-up in Japan.
Customization is key for Japanese users
Tatsuki is still astonished by the amount of support Vivaldi gets in Japan. He thinks that people in Japan really like the customization Vivaldi offers.
“I think Vivaldi being highly configurable is very appealing to Japanese users. A lot of people like the side Panel and Tab Tiling – the ability to display content in a split-screen view.”
By design, Vivaldi does not track browser usage or gather data on its users. Although Tatsuki doesn’t have hard numbers, his impression is that many of its fans in Japan are gamers.
“Japan has a very strong subculture of gamers. It’s a geek community. Subcultures tend to be very technical. These people had a lot of respect for Jon, and they liked that we were making a browser again.”
The Japanese, in general, are early adopters of technology, but Japan is not unique in that respect.
“In Japan, you don’t really get a lot of social recognition for using new technology. Technology is widespread and there isn’t a coolness factor associated with this. Geeks tend to be at the fringes of society. Perhaps, within the geeky communities, there could be a case of scoring some social status points if you discover something really cool and technical and if you adopt it earlier than others. But this is within a small community, not the rest of society.”
Tatsuki is excited just thinking about how much the Japanese community can grow from here.
“Help us spread the word. Continue to support us! Other browsers have minimalistic UI and there’s not much you can do with that, but in Vivaldi, we have built in endless possibilities and we love it when people find these!”
Stay tuned for more on our Japanese community!

Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. They are for vanity, usually flattering, and are casual in nature (or made to appear casual). “Selfie” typically refers to self-portrait photos taken with the camera held at arm’s length, as opposed to those taken by using a self-timer or remote. A selfie, however, need not include a sole individual. “Selfies” may include multiple subjects as long as the picture is actually being taken by one of the subjects featured in the photo The selfie phenomena since then has grown multi-fold, so much so that there’s an entire ecosystem around most it. Smartphones have been the single biggest contributor in the whole selfie craze. Perhaps it won’t be a gross exaggeration to say that certain brands have thrived and survived just because of selfies.
One such chinies brand is Vivo as over the last couple of years it is associated with selfie-centric smartphones. Vivo & Oppo is the two most nearest competitor in the field of Selfi smart phone Market. The recent addition to Vivo’s flagship model of the Year 2018 is the Vivo 9 A 24MP high quality selfie camera parallel to iPhone X-line notch, bigger display – on paper Vivo V9 looks like a phone to reckon with. But as they say, there’s many a slip between the cup and the lip. We used the Vivo V9 for a few days and here’s what we think of it:
Vivo V9 Design: Notch, glass finish polycarbonate back
“Is it the new iPhone?” “When did you buy the iPhone X?” were some of the quips we faced as soon as someone saw the Vivo V9 with us. There’s no denying the fact that Vivo V9 is heavily ‘inspired’ by Apple’s latest flagship. And it’s not something that only Vivo is guilty of as the market is soon going to be flooded with a bunch of iPhone X clones. As you get past the whole iPhone X angle, you do realise that Vivo has worked hard on the design. To begin with at just 150 grams, this is a seriously light device for its sheer size. The screen size is 6-inch plus but more on that in the display.
The front of the device is completely taken over by the impressive screen which has almost 90 per cent screen-to-body ratio. At the back you find another iPhone X similarity – the vertical dual rear camera set up. The fingerprint scanner and the Vivo branding also find a place at the back of the device.
Vivo V9 with IPS Display
The back has a Highly glossy finish and the review unit we got as in Champagne Gold colour. The Vivo V9 has an aluminum back and the device is 7.9mm thick only.. It’s a surprisingly easy to use device considering its size. The other usual set of specifications include the 3.5mm audio jack, speaker grille and micro USB port which are located at the bottom. The left side is home to the hybrid SIM slot whereas the usual suspects like the power button and volume rockers find a space on the right hand side.
Vivo V9 Display: 6.3-inch full HD+ with 19:9 aspect ratio
As more and more users turn to their smartphones for watching videos or OTT content, display has clearly emerged as a critical aspect. Before we get into the display experience, let’s get the specs out of the way. The Vivo V9 The smartphone features a 6.3-inch full HD+ (1080×2280 pixels) IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top. There’s also 2.5D curved glass and a 19:9 aspect ratio. And then there’s the notch. The notch is the most prominent part of the display and while it’s borrowed from Apple, there’s a lot of difference. The notch on Vivo V9 is much shorter and has the selfie sensor and speaker. Credit to Vivo for doing a fine job of incorporating it sleekly in the notch.
As for the actual display, Vivo V9 delivers impressive performance. The 19:9 aspect ratio is the star of the show here as it is one of the better screens you will spot. Watching videos is a treat on the Vivo V9 while images appear sharp and clear. It’s not all smooth sailing though with the V9’s display. The moment you step under direct sunlight, the display is slightly dull. Even though the brightness levels are satisfactory, it definitely takes a beating outdoors.
Unbelievable power with Qualcomm Snapdragon 626, 4GB RAM
We were a bit disappointed to find that under the hood the Vivo V9 has the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor. While it’s not a slight on the processor, for a device that claims to boast of the ‘flagship’ tag, it could have had a better processor. Unlike most of its competition, the Vivo V9 also doesn’t have a 6GB variant and comes with 4GB RAM. To put it bluntly, these aren’t really top-of-the-line specs and perhaps belong in the mid-tier segment. The smartphone packs 64GB of inbuilt storage and supports expandable storage via microSD card up to 256GB.
Power with Funtouch 4.0
Having said that, the Vivo V9’s performance will pass the tests for most users for all the routine tasks they entrust their smartphones with. The smartphone runs the latest Android Oreo 8.1 which is based on Funtouch OS 4.0. There are a lot of preloaded apps that come with Vivo V9. These include vivo Cloud, vivo.com as well as Flipkart, Newspoint, Amazon Prime among others. The unfortunate thing here is that you can’t delete them – apart from the third-party apps. We didn’t use most of the preloaded apps and found them a bit pointless. The overall UI for most Android users will be easy to get accustomed to.
There is a lot of iPhone in the Vivo V9 in terms of the interface. For instance, swiping up from bottom you get options to increase the volume, brightness or turning on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It also shows the frequently used apps.
The Vivo V9 has the picture-in-picture mode and one can go to Settings and which apps support it. There are some nice software enhancements like one-handed mode, app cloning and smart motion gestures. It’s something we have also seen on the Motorola devices. For instance, if you just shake the device, the flashlight can be turned on.
While the 19:9 aspect ratio is a great feature to have, some apps – and most games – still opened in 18:9 aspect ratio. Even while playing YouTube videos, you will notice a black strip which is an eyesore. In terms of software, the Vivo V9 could have had offered a better experience. For example, the Vivo 9 runs the Touch Pal keyboard which is frankly quite outdated.
The two other common features doing the rounds also find a place in the Vivo V9. Both the fingerprint scanner (at the back) and the face unlock feature. The fingerprint scanner is as smooth as it gets and the face unlock also works more or less. If you’re in a low-light area, the Vivo V9 does take more than two attempts to unlock through face recognition.
A feature that really impressed us on the Vivo V9 is the audio performance. The speaker on the Vivo V9 does a really fantastic job and is very loud. It is one of the best speaker we have come across in a smartphone.
Vivo V9 Camera: 24MP front camera, 16MP+5MP rear camera
It’s clear that the camera is where Vivo has marketed itself differently from competition. The camera is supposed to be its ‘pièce de rèsistance’. Let’s delve into the selfie camera which is a 24-megapixel sensor with f/2.0 aperture. It has a lot of features like Face Beauty, Face Beauty video call, HDR mode and Gender Detection ( a bit bizarre).
What Vivo is also marketing the device is for its AI-enabled camera. Here the AI-powered camera deals more with the Face Beauty – in other words it does have an effect on the images but it’s not something we really appreciated. The use of AI here is more for an effect rather than really going deep and have a more meaningful impact.
Over the years, Vivo has worked hard to improve the selfie camera and the results are evident in the V9. The selfies clicked with the Vivo V9 came out sharp and extremely accurate – especially outdoors. One can see the colour accuracy and sharpness vividly. The selfie camera also autofocuses extremely quickly. There’s another iPhone-like feature here as well. The Live photo feature which records what happens 1.5 seconds before and after a picture is clicked. It’s clear that Vivo has left no stone unturned in giving the perfect selfie experience. The Portrait bokeh mode has also been added to the front camera and the results are impressive. The selfie camera lives up to its reputation and is one of the better ones around.
The AR stickers which we saw in Samsung’s Galaxy S9 smartphones also find a place in the Vivo V9. But it functions differently. What you can do with AR stickers is that you can use a lot of stickers on AR selfie. It’s a fun feature to have and the Snapchat brigade will actually like it.
If the front camera doesn’t leave much room for complaints, the rear camera is a different story altogether. The Vivo V9 sports 16-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors at the back placed in a vertical setup. You can also find single LED below the cameras. For starters, the default mode on Vivo V9 is bizarrely called Take Photo. You can also find other modes like Professional, Ultra-HD, Slo-mo, Time Lapse, Bokeh mode, Shot refocus, HDR, Face Beauty, and Panorama. We clicked a lot of images with the Vivo V9 and the problem we had was the consistency. It’s not as if the camera doesn’t click good quality images. It does – especially outdoor shots – but in dim-lit conditions the
The Bokeh mode is one of the better we have seen and is clearly the highlight of the rear camera. The Live feature works well and overall in outdoors, the Vivo V9 delivers crisp and sharp images. For instance, we clicked a lot of images in the neighbourhood park and most of the images were reasonably good. The colour rendering was good as was the detailing. But in poorly lit conditions, it didn’t impress us at all.
Combine the front and rear camera experience and you get a smartphone which will meet most smartphone users’ expectations. The selfie camera is one of the best around but the rear camera could’ve been better. It keeps in tone with the overall vibe of the smartphone. Some excellent features while some aren’t really up to the mark.
Battery: 3260mAh
The 3260mAh battery on the Vivo V9 delivers impressive performance. One can throw a host of tasks at the Vivo V9’s battery and it handles with consummate ease. Those who love to check Instagram or Facebook every five minutes or watch a lot of videos can easily use the smartphone for a day without having to reach for their charger. If you’re a moderate user then the Vivo V9 can easily last you a day and a half.

Photos Of Late Soccer Star Emiliano Sala Leak Of His Body At The Morgue And His Family Is Trying To Find Ways To Deal
BY Araceli Cruz | May 2, 2019 AT 1:38 pm
By Araceli Cruz May 2, 2019 at 1:38 pm
@emilianosala9 Instagram
A man and a woman, aged 62 and 48, have been arrested after posting photos of the post-mortem examination of Cardiff City soccer player Emiliano Sala.
Images of Sala, the 28-year-old striker who disappeared after a private plane he was one crashed in the waters north of Guernsey in January, appeared on Twitter weeks ago.
According to witnesses the man and woman allegedly leaked images of the Argentinian’s remains at a mortuary, in Bournemouth, Dorset
According to investigators, there is no evidence to suggest the couple broke into the mortuary, and “no evidence to suggest that any staff from the mortuary, or indeed any other council employees, are involved in any wrongdoing.”
Investigators have also released a statement detailing the situation saying that “A48-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of unauthorized access to computer material and malicious communication. The woman has been released on conditional bail. A 62-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of unauthorized access to computer material and has been released under investigation.”
The Tragic Ending To Emiliano Sala’s Incredible Soccer Career
The death of Argentinan soccer player Emiliano Sala hit fans, family, and friends with extreme shock. How could a 28-year-old in the prime of his career vanish in thin air?
Just three months officials confirmed his death, and people are still reeling from this tragedy only to be facing more horrible news.
On Feb. 4, just two weeks after the plane carrying Emiliano Sala went missing, investigators reported that they had found the wreckage and a body in the English Channel.
Instagram/@emilianosalafans2
Sala was en route from France to Wales on a single-engine plane on Jan. 21 just days after being transferred from FC Nantes to the Premier League side Cardiff City. On Jan. 19, Sala was transferred to a new team in a multimillion-dollar deal.
The Argentinan player went to France to pick up some belongings and planned to join his new team for practice on Jan. 20, but that never happened.
According to media reports, Sala sent a message to his friends via Whatsapp while he was on the plane, in which he discussed various things but also added that he didn’t feel comfortable in the plane.
“Hello, my brothers, how are you? Boy, I’m tired. I was here in Nantes taking care of things, things, things, things, things, things, and it never stops, it never stops, it never stops. Anyway guys, I’m up in this plane that feels like it’s falling to pieces, and I’m going to Cardiff. [It’s] crazy, we start tomorrow. Training in the afternoon, guys, in my new team… Let’s see what happens. So, how’s it going with you guys, all good? If in an hour and a half you have no news from me, I don’t know if they are going to send someone to look for me because they cannot find me, but you will know… Man, I’m scared!”
The plane, pilot, and Sala crashed in English Channel moments later. Officials, however, did not find any sign of them until weeks later. Media reports that the pilot was inexperienced, but no official determinations have been disclosed.
On April 26, three months after the death of Sala, his father died of a heart attack.
Instagram/@teste_di_calcio_official_
“Unfortunately, he felt a sharp pain in his chest in the early hours [of Friday] and suffered a heart attack,” a close friend told a local TV station C5N in Argentina. “By the time the doctors arrived, he had already died. I recently saw him and spoke to him. He seemed to be gradually getting back to his routine. We spoke for half an hour and even told a joke. The news comes as a surprise as Horacio leaves us at 58. It leaves another void. We had been in constant contact for a month during the disappearance of the plane and this is very sad news.”

A Man Was Caught On A Kiss Cam During A Soccer Game And His Life Fell Apart After
By Jorge Rodriguez-Jimenez January 22, 2020 at 4:31 pm

A man identified as Deyvi Andrade Urgiles was caught on a kiss cam during a soccer match. The video shows the man and woman lovingly kissing while on the kiss cam before he realized that he was on the camera. His guilt and regret were immediate as he took his arm off the woman and tried to act like nothing was happening between them.
An unsuspecting man was caught cheating on his wife during a soccer game and the video is everything you would expect.
En mi defensa, aclaro que no hubo beso… soy víctima
EN MI DEFENSA QUIERO ACLARARLE AL SEÑOR REPORTERO QUE EN NINGÚN MOMENTO ME MORÍA POR BESAR A MI AMIGA Y ADEMÁS EN EL VIDEO NO SE VE NINGÚN BESO, NO SE POR QUE DICE QUE NOS BESAMOS APASIONADAMENTE CUANDO NO HUBO SIQUIERA UN ROSE EN NUESTROS LABIOS, SOLO ME JUZGAN Y ME CRITICAN PERO NADIE SE PONE EN MIS ZAPATOS, DIOS NO QUIERA Y NO LES PASE LO MISMO, SOY INOCENTE DE LA BURLA MEDIÁTICA Y QUE QUEDE CLARO QUE VOY A DEFENDER MI HONOR Y ORGULLO DE HOMBRE HASTA EL FINAL DIGAN LO QUE DIGAN 🤚☝️💪
Posted by Deyvi Andrade Urgiles on Tuesday, January 21, 2020
The look on the man’s face shows that he was definitely not wanting the kind of attention that comes from a kiss cam. As soon as he discovers the camera is aimed at him, he sheepishly removes his arm from around the woman and begins to understand the enormity of the situation.
A Facebook page claiming to be Deyvi Andrade Urgiles has posted several times defending his actions.

“The majority of the people who have attacked and judged me are women, and some other are men becoming puritans, but no one accepts the reality that it is really the women who insinuate us and we easily fall into their traps because out enemies always want to see the bad,” reads a post on the Facebook page. “Thanks to God I am sorry and I am well. Nothing you all say matters to me. What remains clear is that it is them that ask us to charge them. I was a victim.”
Some people on Twitter broke down the video to show the exact moment he realized he was busted.

You can see the moment everything started to fall apart for him. Not only did he realize that he was caught on camera with the other woman, but he was caught kissing her.
They even brought Paquita la del Barrio into the discussion.

We all know what it means with Paquita la del Barrio means in a situation like this. She is here to strike fear into the hearts of all of the cheating men in the world. It is quite literally her job to make sure that all men know their place in the world, especially after they start to step out.
Basically, the court of public opinion has already found him guilty.

The Best And Worst National Anthem Performances Of All Time
By Anna Prado at 11:59 am
BY Anna Prado | January 22, 2020 AT 11:59 am
CavBuffaloSoldier /Youtube
Belting out any song in your best voice can be tough stuffings. But when it comes to performing the “Star-Spangled Banner” only singers in a completely different league of their own can actually do the national anthem justice. The songs poetic lyrics are notoriously difficult because of its wide range. So of course, naturally, in the decades of performances in which “Star-Spangled Banner” has been song at sporting events and the like, there have been some mishaps.
This year, both Shakira and J.Lo are set to perform at the Super Bowl’s halftime show while Demi Lovato will make a career come back by singing the national anthem for millions of viewers. Here’s a look at all of the times singers have rocked and flubbed the national anthem.
That time the Dixie Chicks did a beautiful country rendition of the song.
Fans of the Dixie Chicks fell further in love with the country music stars when they stuck to the original lyrics and sentiment of the song when they performed at Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003.
When Whitney Houston gave a GOAT performance back in the 90s.
The queen of pop reigned supreme back in the 90s and thanks to her outstanding vocal range she had the full anthem in the bag. During the 1991 Super Bowl XXV, Houston sang and hit each and every note. Not only that, she recorded the song and released it as a single and when 9/11 happened she re-released the single and gave all of her earnings to charity.
In 1983, when Marvin Gaye gave the national anthem a whirl and blew our minds.
Twenty years ago, the beloved “Aint No Mountain High Enough” singer took the anthem to the next level. The singer’s 1983 NBA All-Star performance had a traditional MoTown feel and to this day is celebrated. In fact, his rendition was used in a 2008 Nike commercial featuring the 2008 U.S. Olympic basketball team.
When Chloe and Halle gave the classic ballad a twist of their own.
Back in 2017, the sister duo stole breaths at the NFL Draft Kick Off when the two sang “America the Beautiful”. Beyonce did us a solid by discovering them.
That time Lady Gaga sang the National Anthem in a fire pantsuit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU_UEVp2ynU
Lady Gaga rocked Stadiums at the 2016 Super Bowl. During her performance, the Lady of ladies hit all of her notes and reinvigorated both sides of the crowd.
That time Fergie went for an eye-popping performance.
Beloved singer Fergie did a rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner’ in 2018 that was one for the books. The strange performance went haywire when the singer attempted to go for a sultry version of the national anthem that just… did not slay. During her perfroamce, camera panned to find audience members stifling giggles and soon enough an internet meme was born. Poor Fergie.
When Roseanne Barr gave us a peek into just how problematic she was.
Back in 1990, Barr made an appearance at a Padres game and sang the national anthem. (Still no word on who booked her for this.) Barr’s cringeworthy performance, which was off-key and oddly high pitched, was made worse when fans realized she was attempting to make the patriotic song into a joke. The racist comedian dared to even spit on the pitcher’s mound as she was leaving the field. Yikes.
When Christina Aguilera forgot the lyrics.
In 2011, Aguilera came out to sing the lyrics to our countries beloved anthem and pretty much bombed. The famous singer had been celebrated for nailing the song hundreds of times. Even when she was kid. Video of the singer proves that she started out of the gate spectacularly but ultimately, things took a turn for the worse when she skipped over lyrics and even began the song again. According to an interview with Aguilera on Elleh, the singer let her get the mood get to her so bad that she forgot most of the lyrics and tried to improve.

These Videos Show That Latinos Know How To Keep Their Cool In The Face Of Mounting Hatred All Over The Country
BY Andrew Santiago | May 23, 2017 AT 6:03 pm
By Andrew Santiago May 23, 2017 at 6:03 pm
The Elliot / Youtube / Eva Hicks / Facebook
It’s been a tough couple of days for several Latinos who were just trying to live. Anti-immigrant and anti-Latino sentiment appears to be steadily on the rise in Trump’s America. More and more videos of hate being aimed specifically at Latinos are going viral. The racists in these videos show outright hatred, all the while acting like something awful has been done to them.
This video features a man being attacked for speaking in Spanish at the airport.
Credit: The Eliot / Youtube
The man in this video, affectionately referred to as “Mike,” had a teensy-weensy problem with Hector Torres, another passenger who was waiting to board a flight. Mike proceeded to air his beef with Torres, who apparently offended him by speaking to his Puerto Rican mom in Spanish, her native language. According to Buzzfeed, Torres was on the phone speaking in Spanish with his mother, when Mike made derogatory comments at him. The rest of it was caught on camera. From telling Torres to “shut the fuck up,” calling him a “fucking spic” and telling him to “kiss his fucking ass,” Mike spared no insult and let his hatred flow freely.
Many are saying Torres did an amazing job of keeping his composure during the incident.
At a certain point “Mike” gets physical with Torres, trying to slap his phone away. But Torres, a father of four from Orlando, Florida, waited for airport security to arrive to handle the situation.
In another incident, this woman threatened physical harm on a Latino who appeared to be offering to help her in a cellphone store.
It's happened again. White woman calls polite Latino man a spic, threatens him, says she's offended to hear him speak Spanish. America. 2017 pic.twitter.com/NOzW9KEVjm
The woman was on her phone talking to someone about not being able to find something she was looking for. The man in the store offered her up a helpful suggestion as to where she might be able to find it. Almost as if she were waiting for an opportunity, the hate immediately begins to spew. She threatens the man with physical violence. She mentions that her husband is there and can handle him and that she also isn’t wearing nails, so she’d be free to throw down, too. She proceeds to call him a “fucking spic,” blurts out “this is my country,” and as the man leaves the store mutters “he needs to take his ass back to Mexico,” before finishing the video with an assertion that it’s “so disrespectful speaking another language in my country.” Exemplary human being here.
Finally, we have this video of a woman in a Walmart, who takes the racist prize this week (don’t worry, there are still several days to go).
Latino woman needs medicine, says "excuse me" @WalMart to get it. White woman tells her to leave America then calls another woman "nigger" pic.twitter.com/l7j5YBTlWP
In the video above, this woman is seen telling a Latina to go back to Mexico and using the most offensive word in the English language on a bystander who tried to help. Then, like a child, she says “not my fault, she started it” when an employee comes over and tries to mediate.
If anyone doubted the existence of people like the ones in these videos, spewing hatred and vitriol at others just because of the color of their skin or their ethnic origin, look no further than here. The victims here are people who are literally just trying to live, shop, talk on the phone, exist and these racists just can’t let that happen. The poise and composure of the victims in these situations is admirable, but the days of turning the other cheek may be coming to an end. You can only push people so much before they fight back.

After More Than 70 Years, The Cannes Film Festival Will Finally Have A Black President And It’s Going To Be Spike Lee
By Emerald Pellot January 17, 2020 at 2:28 pm
BY Emerald Pellot | January 17, 2020 AT 2:28 pm

Spike Lee is returning to the 73rd Cannes Film Festival a couple of years after BlacKkKlansman debuted there, this time as the jury president. In over seven decades, the prestigious film festival has never had a black president overseeing the artists who decide which films will win an award.
“In this life I have lived, my biggest blessings have been when they arrived unexpected, when they happened out of nowhere. When I got the call that I was offered the opportunity to be president of Cannes jury for 2020, I was shocked, happy, surprised and proud all at the same time,” Lee said in a statement.
The 62-year-old director won Cannes’ Grand Prix for BlacKkKlansman which also earned Lee his first Academy Award. Prior to his recent release, Lee hadn’t participated in Cannes in 22 years despite having seven of his most beloved films like, She’s Gotta Have It, Do The Right Thing and Summer Of Sam, playing there.
Lee releases a heartfelt statement about becoming the jury president.
Welcome to Spike Lee as President of the Jury of the 73rd Festival de Cannes! Cannes is a natural homeland for those who (re)awaken minds. Lee's flamboyant personality is sure to shake things up. What kind of President will he be? Find out in Cannes! https://t.co/Rezlrl1sOB pic.twitter.com/bt28zF4QO0
— Festival de Cannes (@Festival_Cannes) January 14, 2020
Lee said this particular film festival is the most important in the world and that it significantly impacted his career.
“It started way back in 1986 – my first feature film She’s Gotta Have It, which won the Prix de la Jeunesse in the Director’s Fortnight. The next joint was in 1989 – Do The Right Thing, an Official Selection in Competition. And I don’t have the time nor space to write about the cinematic explosion that jumped off, still relative to this, 30 years later,” Lee said in a statement.
Do The Right Thing might be Lee’s most well-known project. The film which uses building racial tensions in a Brooklyn neighborhood as an exploration of violence as activism was solidified as a part of history when it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry and Libray of Congress.
“Then Jungle Fever 1991 – Official Selection in Competition, Girl 6 1996 – Official Selection out of Competition, Summer Of Sam1999 – Director’s Fortnight, Ten Minutes Older 2002 – Official Selection in Un Certain Regard and then BlacKkKlansman 2018 – Official Selection in Competition where it won the Grand Prix, which became the launching pad for the world theatrical release which led to my Academy Award for screenplay,” he continued.
Many have felt that Lee has not gotten the respect he deserves as a filmmaker — at least not until fairly recently.
Spike Lee on 'Do The Right Thing' Oscar snub: "As far as Oscars, my thing has always been my body of work. What film won best film of 1989? ‘Driving Miss Daisy.’ Driving Miss motherf-cking Daisy. Who’s watching that film now?” https://t.co/IrhyUpSxjU pic.twitter.com/JfvXN851DJ
— IndieWire (@IndieWire) July 30, 2018
Despite being nominated four times across three decades, Lee wasn’t awarded an Academy Award until 2019 for Best Adapted Screenplay.
“Spike Lee’s perspective is more valuable than ever. Cannes is a natural homeland and a global sounding board for those who (re)awaken minds and question our stances and fixed ideas. Lee’s flamboyant personality is sure to shake things up. What kind of president of the jury will he be? Find out in Cannes!” Cannes President Pierre Lescure and festival head Thierry Frémaux said in a statement.
In the New York Times profile leading up to his Oscar win, the paper examined the ways in which Lee has been relegated to the fringes of prestigious filmmaking: throughout his career, he has earned less money and received less funding than his white counterparts, and has had difficulty getting projects off the ground.
Lee’s inclusion might be Cannes’ first big step in correcting its diversity issues.
Spike Lee will lead this year’s Cannes Film Festival jury.
The acclaimed director will be the first black person to do so in the festival’s 73-year history. https://t.co/0cFE4smCt6
— The New York Times (@nytimes) January 14, 2020
“That’s the dilemma of a talented black artist in any field,” collaborator and author James McBride told the NY Times. “You have to recreate the genre, otherwise you don’t survive. Stevie Wonder is not a pop musician; Stevie Wonder is a genre. Michael Jackson is a genre to himself. Spike Lee has moved into that territory. Spike Lee is not short on talent. What Spike Lee is short on is friends in the industry, and the kind of space to fail. He has no room to fail.”
While Cannes has struggled with diversity around black and women directors, Lee as a jury president could be a healthy step in allowing other perspectives in.
“I’m honored to be the first person of the African diaspora (USA) to be named president of the Cannes jury and of a main film festival. The Lee family sincerely thanks the Festival de Cannes, Pierre Lescure and Thierry Frémaux and the great people of France who have supported my film career throughout four decades. I will always treasure this special relationship,” Lee said.

Leaked Emails Show Stephen Miller Believed DREAMERs Would Replace White Americans

White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller is still in office, despite mounting proof that he harbors white supremacist’s beliefs and numerous politicians and activists calling for his resignation. The Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hatewatch” vertical published a series of Miller’s emails leaked by an ex-Breitbart news editor.
In the emails, Miller expressed fear that DREAMERs would replace white Americans and suggested deporting immigrants on trains to scare them. SPLC’s Michael Hayden says Miller is a supporter of the “great replacement theory” championed by white supremacists who fear white people will become a racial minority. The theory has been echoed in the manifestos of mass shooters and prominent white supremacist leaders.
Miller believes his fellow Republicans aren’t hard enough on immigrants.
Meanwhile: Stephen Miller Shared Idea Of Shipping Undocumented Immigrants Out of The U.S. on Trains as Scare Tactic, Leaked Breitbart Emails Reveal https://t.co/FIoTS1IWwj
— Sherrilyn Ifill (@Sifill_LDF) January 15, 2020
“Demanding DREAMers be given citizenship because they ‘know no other home.’ That principle is an endorsement of perpetual birthright citizenship for the foreign-born,” Miller wrote in an email. “Not only will the U.S.-born children of future illegal immigrants and guest workers be made automatic U.S. citizens, but their foreign-born children will too because, as [former Republican House Majority Leader Eric] Cantor said, ‘Our country was founded on the principle.’”
Miller praised Florida’s very own former governor Jeb Bush for his use of moderate rhetoric to push extreme policies. The emails leaked are from around 2015, when Miller was an aide to Senator Jeff Sessions before being selected by Trump.
“Jeb [Bush] has mastered the art of using immigration rhetoric to sound ‘moderate’ while pushing the most extremist policies,” Miller wrote in an email.
Former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh provided over 900 emails to SPLC in which Miller expressed disdain for non-white immigrants. McHugh says she leaked the emails addressed to her from Miller to expose the hidden “evil” of the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
“In a November 2015 email that Hatewatch has not previously published, Miller forwarded an interview with Phyllis Schlafly from far-right conspiracy website WorldNetDaily that argued undocumented immigrants should be shipped out on trains to ‘scare out the people who want to undo our country,’” according to SPLC.
25 interfaith groups call for the resignation of Stephen Miller.

Yesterday, 25 faith groups, among them many prominent Jewish, Muslim, and Christian leaders including the Anti-Defamation League, The Nation’s Mosque, and African American Ministers in Action, signed a letter calling for Miller’s resignation.
“Stephen Miller authored many of these destructive policies and helped ensure their enactment via his network of anti-immigrant officials throughout the federal government. Further, these policies have been paired with heightened and unrelenting anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric coming from the White House,” the organizations said.
The group also called out the Trump administration for allowing white supremacist views in the White House.
“At one point in history, harboring a white supremacist in the White House could harm an administration. Today, President Trump appears unbothered by his close official’s ties to white supremacy. This cannot stand. As organizations of many faiths, who feel love and respect where Miller advances disdain and hate, we call for his resignation immediately,” the letter stated.
Last November 100 lawmakers demanded Stephen Miller resign.
These are people seeking LEGAL asylum being shipped away like animals.

Miller has been in the hot seat for a while. Last year 100 lawmakers demanded the advisor’s resignation, a couple of weeks ago 25 Jewish members of congress joined that call following Rolling Stone’spublication of a different set of leaked emails that further establish his support of xenophobic ideas.
“A documented white nationalist has no place in any presidential administration, and especially not in such an influential position,” the 100 representatives wrote in a letter to President Donald Trump. “Miller’s white supremacist influence on your immigration policy, and it seems like that his perfidious adherence to extremist ideology has shaped your administration in ways that are not yet public.”
In the Rolling Stone emails, Miller called refugees “foreign-born terrorists” and expressed a fondness for a book called “Camp of Saints” which is a favorite of neo-Nazis.
“The dystopian 1973 novel is widely regarded as racist and traffics in fear-mongering about immigrant invasions. It is popular among white nationalist circles and has been invoked by former White House aide Steve Bannon and Iowa Congressman Steve King,” according to Newsweek.
Other emails show Miller is using his influence in the White House to coordinate anti-immigration policies that reflect his views.
“In the emails, [senior advisor at ICE Jon] Feere strategizes with Miller about how to use the federal government to amplify their anti-immigration message; tees up potential attacks on prominent Democratic politicians; directly briefs Miller in great detail about upcoming enforcement actions and policy changes in the works; and recommends to Miller people the administration should hire to expedite its immigration agenda,” according to Rolling Stone.
While Miller has still not resigned, the pressure is continuing to mount in Congress and among activists.

Temporary website redirect: 3xx or php/meta?
I run a (small) news website which has also a forum in a subfolder of the root. I'm planning to give the site a facelift and a code restructuration, so I wanted to put some redirect on the home page that will point directly to forum's index (www.mysite.com --> www.mysite.com/forum) while I tinker with it. And that, given the little free time I have, will take no less than a couple of month. Being a news site I'm pretty sure that would affect it's overall ranking, but I need to do it, so: which is the best way to redirect? I pondered and read here and there about the different means, but I couldn't figure out which is worst for SEO. Do I use a 302 redirect or use "Location:newurl" in page headers using php? Or I just put a meta tag in the html page (or a javascript, what's better). Sorry but I'm not really into these things, I may have said something silly, I know... Thanks
seo redirects http-headers
Damien PirsyDamien Pirsy
Do a 307 temporary redirect on the server side. You can do this with PHP or .htaccess, it doesn't matter which. But definitely make sure you send the 307 header as that is what tells the search engines the redirect is temporary and to try again later. Without it they will consider the pages removed which is exactly what you don't want.
header('Location: /forum', true, 307);
Never heard about 307, so do you think it's the optimal one for a 2-month span of time? – Damien Pirsy Feb 10 '11 at 13:35
"Normally, when a Web browser issues a POST request and then receives a 302-Object Moved redirect message from the Web server, the browser issues a GET request for the new location and loses the data in the POST request. With a 307 redirect, the browser reissues the POST request with the original data to the new location." Not necessery in your situation, I think, but can't hurt. – Stephan Muller Feb 10 '11 at 13:54
@Damien, two months is a long time but I don't see why this won't work. I'd Google around just to see if anyone has posted any useful data on temporary redirects for this long just to be sure, tho. – John Conde♦ Feb 10 '11 at 14:03
SEO-wise it's not advised to use a meta-refresh or javascript, because they will not pass pagerank and it'll just evaporate. Instead, use a 302 redirect (htacess or php header()). This will ensure that the original homepage maintains it's pagerank while it's under construction.
But really, can't you tinker with it on a test environment and just upload it to the live website once you're done? That's a lot more SEO-efficient.
Stephan MullerStephan Muller
Yeah, you have a good point there; but I thought that, given the little time I have to dedicate to the site, leaving it there, rarely updated, without new features and so on would have been "bad". I thought it would have been better to just redirect to the forum (where much of the people converge anyway). But mayb you're right, I should leave it there as is... – Damien Pirsy Feb 10 '11 at 14:04
Actually, since 2007 Google has started treating meta-refresh as a 301 redirect if there's no delay, and as a 302 if there is some sort of delay. JavaScript redirects are also treated as 302 if a search engine detects it, but it's not as well supported. Still, it's better to avoid meta or javascript redirects and just use the correct status codes. And Litso's suggestion of developing the new site in a test environment is best. – Lèse majesté Feb 10 '11 at 14:33

What are parked domain names? When are able to they come in real useful? How could you park a domain?
A parked domain is one that is taken, but it's not linked to some other service - web or e mail hosting. To put it differently, this kind of domain won't open any real content if you type it inside a browser, but no one can take it as you've already registered it and you are its owner. The advantage of acquiring a domain and parking it afterwards is that you will be able to keep it and not worry that somebody else may register it meanwhile if, for example, the site for it is not ready yet. You could set a temporary Under Construction website page for a parked domain name while you're working on the site, or forward it to another web address - temporarily or permanently. The second option can be used when you have already registered domain.com, for instance, and you obtain domain.net and domain.org, in order to protect a brand name or a trademark. In such a case, the .net and .org domain names can be parked and forwarded to the .com because you do not need different sites for them.
Parked Domains in Hosting
You are going to be able to park as many domains as you want with each of the hosting packages we offer you. Of course, this feature is available exclusively for domain addresses registered with us as the service is always provided only by the registrar. As opposed to many companies, we do not charge anything more for parking a domain address and the process is going to take only a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia CP. We also have a few parking templates to select from where you can add custom text. If you decide to host a parked domain name in the future, adding it to your account will take simply a click. Everything necessary for the site to start showing up, including creating a domain folder and setting up DNS records will be done automatically by us. Our feature-rich Domain Manager tool will enable you to see a full list of the domain names you have registered using us and you will be able to set a filter to see just the parked or only the hosted ones.
Through our semi-dedicated hosting service you are going to be able to park an unlimited number of the domain addresses that you've registered through our company at no extra cost. We provide you with a number of parking templates to pick from plus the option to upload your own text to every one of them. If you'd prefer to forward your domain address, it takes only a couple of clicks to do it. We have a feature-rich Domain Manager tool which you could access using your Hepsia hosting CP and it'll permit you to park and un-park domains easily or filter all registered domains by their status and see just the parked or only the hosted ones. Un-parking a domain name takes just a mouse click and you'll not have to do anything manually after that, as our system will automatically set up all the required records, modify the domain servers and set up a domain folder in the File Manager section.

video: abc news: see...as far back as may 1973 even president nixon knew that 2008 republican presidential nominee candidate fred thompson was 'dumb as hell'. nixon is also known for telling everyone watching laugh-in, in episode #15, "sock it to me?" and sock it to nixon 'ol dumb as hell fred thompson did too - it was thompson's dumb question about "listening devices in the oval office of the president?" to alexander butterfield on 16 july 1973 that ultimately led to president nixon's resignation.
via drudge retort
When Nixon's aide H.R. Haldeman told Nixon of Thompson's appointment, Nixon was less than impressed.
"Baker has appointed Fred Thompson as minority counsel," Haldeman is heard saying on one tape.
"Oh shit, that kid," Nixon responds.
"I guess so," Haldeman replies.
Nixon worried that Thompson's Democratic counterpart, Sam Dash, would outsmart Thompson.
"Well, Dash is too smart for that kid," Nixon says on another tape from March 16, 1973. The existence of the tapes were publicly revealed by a question from Thompson at a Watergate hearing and led to the president's resignation. They are preserved at the National Archives in College Park, Md.
"Sure. Runs circles around him," agrees an aide, John Dean.
As the investigation picked up speed, Nixon grew increasingly concerned about whether Thompson could stand up to the Democrats.
In this May 1973 recording, he shared his concern with then-chief of staff Alexander Haig.
"He's talking to Fred Thompson. I said you're not --," Haig begins.
"Oh shit, he's dumb as hell. Fred Thompson," Nixon interjects.

Ashkenazi PRS
Posted on April 24, 2019 by gcochran9
There are now a couple of surveys with Ashkenazi EA polygenic scores. We don’t know that the populations were representative, but probably they weren’t far off. Scores correspond to an IQ of about 110. Personally, I’m still pulling for 112.
A fair number of people publicly disagreed with our Ashkenazi hypothesis.
108 Responses to Ashkenazi PRS
The Right Number for AJs says:
Maybe interesting to some, was looking at how the US General Social Survey predicts interaction between migration status (migrated as adult, child, didn’t migrate at all, US born expatriate), ethnic background and Wordsum / education as proxy for IQ: https://imgur.com/a/pmCbBe7
Using migration allows you to remove the effects of foreign birth on Wordsum as a proxy for IQ, which are substantial.
If you use Wordsum as a proxy for IQ, then among born in the US, IQ is for Jews about 110. East Asians about 105, Blacks about 90, Natives 88, and Hispanics about 91. (Compared with general Non-Hispanic Whites at 100).
If you use years of education as a proxy, then among born in the US, Jews about 117, East Asians 111, Blacks 93, Natives 89 and Hispanics about 95.
Suggests there’s a smarts advantage, but also an education advantage relative to smarts for all Non-Hispanic White groups, particularly Jews. I’d guess 110 for IQ is about right for Jewish “smarts” but the advantage is higher above the general population for representation in higher education. That matters if we’re looking at higher education achievement and then trying to infer from that.
Education PRS might find some different values for AJs than IQ PRS.
Lot says:
Jewish Wordsum in GSS understates AJ IQ because of a low ceiling. In other words, a relatively high number of AJ get a score 10 but would have had an even higher score if the test had a higher ceiling. Another issue with trying to get AJ IQ from GSS Wordsum is that the question asked is “Jewish” that that would include converts, mixed breeds, and Sephardi. About 1% of GSS Jews also ID as black. Years ago I estimated the exact effect of the ceiling and black on a GSS estimate and posted it on iSteve. The effect of white Jews who aren’t pure AJ (or AJ at all) isn’t something that can be easily estimated.
Josh Gonik says:
Wouldn’t the point about a low ceiling also apply to a lesser extent to East Asians?
Also, I really do wonder how much intermarriage has reduced the Ashkenazi Jewish average IQ in the US. After all, isn’t assortative mating widespread in the US nowadays?
“Wouldn’t the point about a low ceiling also apply to a lesser extent to East Asians?” Yes.
The Right Number for AJs #2 says:
Nice challenge.
Removing the effects of Blacks who identify as Jewish is pretty easy, just control for the race variable (as I did in my constructed variable).
Sephardis and Mizrahis you can’t control for easily (you could use country of origin and religion together but it seems messy). But they’re about 10% of the Jewish population, so at most you lose about 10% of the difference between them and AJs, and S and Ms seem like mild overachievers relative to the White American pop, so it’s probably not that large. (If you assumed SM were only White American average of IQ 100, then AJ only would go up from IQ 111.5 to get to that same target number).
The range restriction estimates are a bit more difficult to address.
The closest thing you could do is look at the composition of Jewish scores and test some possible changes on the mean that could represent effects of range restriction.
About 14% of American born Jews score in the top category of 10 words answered correctly on Wordsum. If we shift about 2/6 of those 14% into an imaginary Wordsum 11 and 1/6 into imaginary Wordsum 12, we can see the changes on the mean here: https://imgur.com/a/A4sh1vo.
That gives about 0.8 of a Wordsum converted “IQ” point. Move some of the 9s into 10s and you can get another 0.8.
If everything above applies, you might get up to 112.5. For larger changes, you’d need a change in the Jewish modal number, which isn’t currently range restricted.
Of course, this would probably be an overestimate, as range restriction also reduces the White American SD that I’m using to convert into “IQ” scale (with a slightly larger white SD say it’s 0.05 larger, the gain to AJ from considering range restriction is lost).
“Purity” of American Jews I can’t talk about; they could gain from boiling off intermarriage at the low end or lose from gaining non-elite White ancestors (other intermarriage effects are of smaller effect).
In any case, there’s probably a robust Ashkenazi Jewish education advantage well beyond their Wordsum advantage. (An advantage shared in lesser degree by East Asians). The “pure” education advantage for AJs beyond their Wordsum (IQ) advantage is probably almost the same size as their Wordsum (IQ) advantage.
(Separately, you also see on GSS that within education categories Jewish Americans make much more money! That’s rather off topic, but this is all to highlight that indirect estimates of Ashkenazi intelligence from income or education status probably inflate the intelligence gap.)
I agree with the first part of your correction. I don’t see the exact reasoning behind “move some of the 9s into 10s and you can get another 0.8.” Are you imagining a hypothetical more precise test instead of one that has an odd very non-bell shape result for Jews (with a peak at 9 but much less than expected 10s)? Notice that all the other groups do have roughly bell shaped results.
If specifically concerned about purebred AJ’s, the ceiling effect is even more intense than the 14% of Am self-ID’d Jews who got 10s.
In any event, I think purebred USA AJs born between 1940 and 2000 likely have IQs a fair amount above 110, probably about 115, but it is kind of a historical point as the number of them is rapidly declining and pure AJs have gone from ~4% of US births to under 1% now. “White Jews” that are some mix of AJ, Non-J White, and Other White Jew are the actual more relevant category going forward demographically.
Right Number #4 says:
It may be a badly argued point; shifting the 10s over results in a less normal distribution of scores (as you note), so anticipating that, I proposed some shift of the 9s to renormalize a little bit (there are quite possibly better ways to do this), to test the argument in a maximally sympathetic way.
As you note, there isn’t actually a justification in the sense that there is that some of the 10s would have been 11s if they could; the 9s could have been 10s if the could but they weren’t.
Re; pure vs non-pure AJs, it’s hard to say anything about that within the resolution of the GSS. Trying to use the GSS, one indicator to at least estimate prevalence of mixed individuals in the self declared Jewish sample is to look at parental and maternal religion within each religious category, to check outmarriage: https://imgur.com/a/IPIXLmV
(re-coding the maternal and paternal religion variables into a single variable combining by paternal/maternal Jewish religious status).
I don’t have any confidence in the sample sizes that I start to get when I do this though, as they become a small subset of what the Wordsum / education were calculated on. In that sample, the categories with less than two Jewish parents don’t drop the Wordsum… but the sample size is small it’s hard to have much confidence.
Even is we assume along the lines of the above that about 20% of self declared Jews are half Jewish, then that equals about 10% “virtual gentiles” in the Jewish pool. Assuming that there is no selection of these virtual gentiles and they’re about average for White wordsum (100), then that might translate into the remaining Jews having a boost of about 2 IQ points to get to that 110-111 mean, pushing them up to 112-113. But that itself would be a questionable assumption due to assortative mating, so any loss would probably be less (I’d guess probably less than a point if there is even modest assorting).
See – https://imgur.com/a/M0fVhjB.
Bonner Tal says:
I once corrected wordsum scores for Jews for the ceiling effect (in the context of whether jewish IQ is declining) and it wasn’t a big difference (between 0.5 and 0.7).
Just looked at your blog, very interesting stuff all around.
Thanks! I am just getting started.
Анисимов Дмитрий says:
Often EA is increased not due to ability but due to membership in a group. Here’s why using education as a proxy overestimates blacks’ IQ. Also many Jews get more enrollment in universities due to being a relative of alumni.
The Right Number for Askhenazi Jews #3 says:
There might be individual differences in propensity for education between groups as well, but yes, it seems possible the “Culture of Education” between groups and group membership itself can affect the outcomes here.
If you look at the wordsum by highest degree on GSS, the advantage within each category is lower among Jewish Americans that the whole population, and you also see that the correlation between Wordsum and years education is a bit lower for JA subjects than NH Whites and even East Asians (which gets around arguments about range restriction from graduate being the highest education degree rank).
This is all considering only American born and raised.
See – https://imgur.com/a/d75fqNP
One further note, I’d add, turning the Kirkegaard Jan 2019 paper that I would guess inspires this thread, we find the same greater educational than IQ gap –
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601752_Polygenic_Scores_Mediate_the_Jewish_Phenotypic_Advantage_in_Educational_Attainment_and_Cognitive_Ability_Compared_With_Catholics_and_Lutherans –
Pop == IQ == Education
Lutheran == 101.36 == 2.39
Catholic == 101.48 == 2.45
Jewish: == 109.72 == 5.62
Expressed as SD with Catholic as baseline
Lutheran == -0.008 == -0.03
Catholic == 0 == 0
Jewish: == 0.57 == 1.46
Greater magnitude of educational achievement gap than IQ gap (2-3x?).
The Z Blog says:
Here’s an old post using Russian chess performance to assess AJ IQ.
http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/ashkenaz.htm
Funny how the number 112 keeps turning up.
Prediction: those wrong individuals will soon pivot to claiming that it was never about Ashkenazi IQ per se, but Jewish IQ in general and that includes mischlings and Ethiopians and converts.
Because Jews are absolutely a race, except when it’s more convenient for the conspiracy narrative to label them an ethnicity, religion, or arbitrarily-defined tribe. And we must at all costs avoid any precise definition such as phenotype or genotype.
Let’s see what the data for Israeli Ashkenazi Jews (excluding those with partial ancestry from other Jews, such as Mizrahi Jews) will say once/if anyone will do a study or two on them. I certainly wouldn’t rule out the possibility that there was some selection in favor of intelligence for Ashkenazi Jews who came to the US. A selection for a couple of extra IQ points seems like a reasonable hypothesis.

Isn’t this an example of garbage in garbage out. We know the IQ score of AJs, so when you do a polygenic score, you are using the same data that makes your polygenic score effective, so you are just fitting to the curve.
This means you aren’t measuring genetic IQ just measuring membership in the group that has high IQ. I think this is a weakness of the scoring. If you don’t understand what a gene is doing you can’t use it for prediction. This might not matter for predictive power, but have your IQ poly score might just be looking at things that make you resilient to environmental problems, or genes common to groups that culturally think education is important. Of course if this is the major source of difference, maybe it doesn’t matter. Again score might predict embryos just fine, while only slightly measuring genetic effects on the brain.
No: the polygenic scores were developed on mostly non-Jewish samples.
The opposite of this is true however. If you choose a group (e.g. Africans, East Asians) that have little genetic mixing with the sample group (mostly European), you will not have a valid result. In other words, the genetic component of IQ for East Asians may have little overlap with the mostly European samples we have collected. Polygenic scores could be highly misleading.
Dr J Thompson says:
The point of Piffer’s paper is that on the basis of European DNA he finds he can make reasonably accurate predictions about other genetic groups’ average IQ. This would not be possible if polygenic scores were highly misleading. The Lee “2018” paper found that on the basis of European DNA you could predict 11% of European individual’s IQs and, surprisingly, 1.6% of African individual’s IQs. This latter finding, coupled with the fact that European-DNA-based predictions on African’s heights are similarly attenuated, suggests that similar SNPs may be involved, although the precise locations are probably different.
Yes, this what I was saying. A polygenic from a mostly European population is a poor match for Africans. Your figures imply that it is not totally useless but has low predictive value. That sound right to me.
Since Africans have a very diverse DNA, I would expect there to be similar ratios of predictive effectiveness between African countries using a Eurocentric score (e.g. one country could be 3% predictive and another 0.4%) And it may be harder to find 11% markers for Africans as a whole due to their genetic diversity.
Yes, increasingly apparent. 112 reasonable
Do you also have a prediction for the genetic average IQ of Israeli Ashkenazi Jews?
I’ve never seen a high quality study. While the farmer to Israel, scholar to USA effect might have created a gap at first, mean regression would have closed some of it. Israel AJs also benefit from low parental age effects, and a boiling off of lower IQ AJs into intermarriage with non-AJ Israeli Jews.
You can guess at all of these factors, but I wouldn’t dignify it with the word estimate.
A. there weren’t any Ashkenazi farmers.
B. The Ashkenazim that moved to the US weren’t an elite. not financially, anyhow.
C. The majority of ashkenazi Jews moving to Israel did so after WWII: survivors.
Was there actually a significant Jewish financial elite in Eastern Europe in 1900, though?
BTW, I didn’t say that the Ashkenazi Jews who came to the US were a financial elite. Rather, I speculated that they might have been a cognitive elite. I don’t know if intelligence was as correlated with life outcomes back in 1900 as it is right now due to the presumably smaller amount of opportunities that intelligent people (as in, those without connections) had back in 1900.
Mike1 says:
The Jews formed an almost unimaginable financial elite in Europe generally. I assume you are asking about the high IQ Eastern Europeans of scholarly fame and my perception is that they are as financially awkward then as high IQ people are today.
Most high IQ people tend to be proud of high credit scores (a sign of bank profitability rather than social standing as a lot of people seem to think), playing weird games with credit cards like moving balances and refinancing mortgages to lower rates while remaining unaware of fees for doing so.
Uh, iirc, Jews owned something like 80% of Hungarian industry. Or something like that. 60-80%.
You are correct that the Ashkenazi Jews who moved to Israel after WWII were Holocaust survivors. That said, though, even for Holocaust survivors, there were a few who moved elsewhere–especially among Soviet Jews, some of whom moved to the US instead of Israel.
I think we agree here and I should have been clearer. Lynn’s Israel IQ figures are suspect and doesn’t reflect any sort of dumb AJ migration to Israel, but poor quality testing and translation of test results to the US white = 100 standard.
The selection for IQ of US v. Israel AJs was very small, mainly because as you note there wasn’t a choice for the vast majority of them. Mandatory/Ottoman Palestine had heavy restrictions on Jewish migration, so 1880-1948 it was mostly US or nothing. For pennyless WWII survivors, both US and Israel were open for a while, but their Israel migration was subsidized by Zionist organizations and physically closer.
However, Jews able to flee Germany and Eastern Europe to UK/USA in the 1930s were very IQ selected. They had the good sense to leave and the resources to do so, so perhaps were like 1960s cubran migrants. And the choice for AJs 1950-1990 of the USA or Israel probably had at least a little IQ selection favoring the USA.
Finally, there’s the issue of AJ migration between Israel and the USA in both directions. All the AJ Israeli migrants to the USA I have met over my entire life have been academics, programmers/tech execs, or grad students of some sort.
Overall, however, these are all just too small to have a real effect on AJ population average IQs beyond maybe half a point, not worth really wondering about in detail.
Were you replying to me here?
No to GC, however indirectly to you since you also mentioned Israel AJs.
In most of the 20th Century there was selection between AJs choosing to emigrate to Israel or the USA. The choice was (and continues to be) between a poor country in permanent war (Israel) and the world richest, most tolerant and safe country with limitless economic opportunities (America). The mass moved to America, the elite (or the dumbest?), to Israel.
There were significant restrictions on immigration to the US during some of that period.
gwern says:
Wasn’t your hypothesis about rare mutations and ones linked to genetic disorders…?
Eponymous says:
No. Those were simply evidence of recent strong selection. But selection should work on all variants.
Only in part. I assumed that selection was mainly on standing variation, which is why I used the breeder’s equation, and why I used to that to estimate the maximum possible gene flow that would still allow selection to generate a ~1 std change. But strong selection for any trait often raises up Mendelian variants with strong heterozygote advantage ( and homozygote disadvantage) ( like sickle-cell or the myostatin null in Belgian blue cattle) and if IQ-boosting variants exist in any human population, it would likely be in the population that has the highest IQ, and likely experienced the strongest selection for intelligence – the Ashkenazim.
Of course nobody has looked at Tay-Sachs or anything like that.
They haven’t looked at Tay-Sachs specifically but they have looked at exomes of high-IQ samples like TIP which are of course heavily Ashkenazi Jewish and found zero IQ-boosting variants. As they are enriched samples from an ostensibly enriched ethnicity and extremely well-powered to detect any effects like the postulated multiple IQ points… Even if you fall back to the weaker version of the theory that it’s all selection on common variants (and doesn’t the Dunkel paper suggest the entire advantage is mediated through the PGS ie. common variants?), it looks like much of your theory, like all of the Tay-Sachs stuff, was simply wrong.
MAF frequency threshold is usually 1%.
teageegeepea says:
What does MAF stand for?
Minor allele frequency
Minor allele frequency.
I said ‘exome’.
where’s the TIP article?
“A genome-wide analysis of putative functional and exonic variation associated with extremely high intelligence”, Spain et al 2015: https://www.nature.com/articles/mp2015108 TIP is similar to SMPY. No exome hits, total exome heritability similar to what one gets in non-Jewish white people using GREML-KIN, hints of lower mutation load. https://www.nature.com/articles/mp2017121 examines the common SNPs as well. If there are any T-S-related or similar exomic variants which are functionally the same thing triggering whatever mechanisms are supposedly increasing intelligence (given polygenicity or if you prefer that buzzword, ‘omnigeneticity’), how do, despite being frequent enough to be amplified by relatively short periods of selection to make meaningful contributions to group differences, they all manage to all be in linkage equilibrium with all the exomic variants and all the common variants against a genetic architecture indicating that rare variants are uniformly damaging without any large beneficial effects having ever been discovered?
(Why not SMPY? SMPY was used to debunk one of the earliest candidate-gene IQ hits in the 1990s but, aside from the ‘argument from silence’ that the BGI project – which recruited from SMPY among other places – didn’t find anything publishable in their WGSes before it fell apart for organizational reasons, AFAIK SMPY has not been meaningfully genotyped in any way post-2000).
Article says:
N=1409. I’d like to see Gwern’s power calculation, it doesn’t look like it holds up to me:
What is your objection to the power analysis they provide?
“A threshold-selected case–control analysis of this design provides 80% power to detect associated variants explaining >0.0015 of the trait variance assuming an additive model and α=1 × 10−7.”
The Gaucher’s disease allele (actually multiple alleles) is present in 10% of Ashkenazim. An unknown minority of the 1409 are Ashkenazi (with unknown ancestry share).
For the Ashkenazi, with a higher mean IQ, the people in the study population are less selected (the threshold for the study is fewer SD above their mean), so IQ+ allele frequencies will be less inflated for them.
“An unknown minority of the 1409 are Ashkenazi (with unknown ancestry share).”
If you calculate out the order statistics, most or all of them will be Ashkenazi and will obviously be of higher ancestry share (begging the question about there being any genetic advantage, of course. They will still be enriched for all the rare variants supposedly boosting IQ, and all of them were – somehow – not detected. What’s the joint power for ‘any hit’?
This explaining away all of the nulls, from D-F extremes to regular GWASes to gene enrichments to per-chromosome heritabilities to exome sequencing to common-PGS-mediation, is getting into pretty desperate ‘G of the gaps’ territory. The simplest explanation is that these supposed large-IQ-boost genes just don’t exist and their hypothetical existence was never based on very good evidence in the first place.
Most or all? Not any more, I suspect.
The Makel et al 2016 ethnic breakdown I’m going off of reports that only 22% of TIP is Asian (which is, incidentally, about what one would predict using the order statistics & thresholds). The Asians would obviously be excluded from any GWAS and as Spain says, they did exclude them: “Exome array genotyping data were available for 1759 HiQ individuals who reported their ethnicity as ‘white’.” So, who are all these white TIPers? Well, they are mostly or almost all going to be Jewish, for the exact same reason that Asians are 22% of TIP despite being only 0.7% of the sampling population at the time (1981): tail effects.
“So why are all those particular similar Mendelian diseases so common among AJs?”
Bottlenecks. Lots of weird neurological disorders elsewhere too.
Bottlenecks are not the answer. A bottleneck for Tay-Sachs would require 100% of the population to have it ~300 years ago. It must have some positive selection to make up for the negative selection.
I’ve done something like a million simulation runs, and it was almost impossible to get the observed Tay-Sachs frequency, even with two bottlenecks. But maybe I was missing something.
Tanturn says:
IQ of 170? I don’t think IQ tests are reliable in that range.
Simulations don’t have a good track record of reproducing the complex population structure and demographic history of human populations in general, much less minorities with as weird histories and niches. The population geneticists and statisticians have been wrangling over this for decades, which is a major reason why detections of polygenic soft selection sweeps remain so contentious and disappear/reappear with various methods.
But my point is simple: there have been lots of opportunities for hints of rare highly-beneficial variants to have popped up in various ways as of 2019, and every single one is a zilch. “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains is often more improbable than your having made a mistake in one of your impossibility proofs.”…
If I looked for myostatin nulls in cattle, I would find them, but only in the breeds subject to the most extreme selection for muscle mass.
Rolph says:
Those who can, publish scientific papers with theories.
Those who can’t, publish rambling repetitive online guides and go online and take shots at exaggerated versions of prior theories?
It could be selection for something else.
Maybe memory.
I wondering about that recently. Tay-Sachs is reported by 23andMe so I assumed it might generally be part of the PGS-data. Would be great if somebody specifically looked at it maybe within-family design.
Gwern, the foundation of your assumptions is bad (not your fault). (“…high-IQ samples like TIP which are of course heavily Ashkenazi Jewish ..”) – Not really. My kid participated in TIP back in 2013. In a class of 22, just one of the kids was Ashkenazi. About half of the participants were Chinese Americans; there also were Greek-American kids, Irish-Americans, Yugoslavian-Americans and few Western European-Americans – like one or two. Also, the entrance test was simply General SAT . You need to rethink your entire position. You might also want to ask yourself why there was just one Ashkenazi kid only or even do some meditation on the topic.
Earlier, the SMPY was about half Jewish, or so I was told.
You’ll notice that your anecdote contradicts the aggregate statistics about TIP: you say half were Chinese Americans, while TIP’s SMPY equivalents for Makel et al 2016 were only a quarter ‘Asian’. Which is more likely, that they’re wrong, or a sample size of 22 (with a relevant subset of half that) has a lot of sampling error…? Plus, as Cochran says, all feedback I have gotten through informal channels from SMPY participants is that they are in fact heavily Jewish, and this is consistent with all other high-IQ samples I’ve found which break out or note ethnicity (Barbe, Terman, Hollingsworth, HCES/Subotnik). So yes, really.
Those SMPY numbers were some time ago.
Which is fine, because Spain et al was not done using the latest batch of TIP kids.
And if you thought that myostatin mutations were the main reason that big heavy cattle were big and heavy and why big cattle breeds were big, and you sequenced the heaviest cattle you could get your hands on, which you knew were, obviously, sampled massively disproportionately from the heaviest cattle breeds (which you believe have to all sorts of special mutations), and you didn’t find any mutations (much less myostatin specific mutations) of large effect, one would think that would be troubling for proponents of myostatin theories.
I don’t think that much of the variation in intelligence is due to rare highly-beneficial alleles. But I would be somewhat surprised if none existed.
Pretty sure GC never said main reason. The point of the paper was a couple rare alleles (0.5% to 2%) that could plausibly increase intelligence seem to be selected for in Jewish populations despite their brutal or lethal effects on homozygote fitness. You don’t get to an IQ of 110-112 because 5-10% of your population carries one of these….these are an overall minor effect at best and would still leave small effect variants doing must of the work. Or these could even be small effect variants…
It’s also possible these help with memory (someone else mentioned), something else, or don’t otherwise help with 12yo SAT… Or their presence helps by a few points generally but hurts your chances of extreme 4sd IQ.
“While we think that IQ is the most relevant outcome measure it may be that the historical process we have discussed selected for other traits that led to success and fitness in medieval times, so a broad spectrum of outcomes should be examined.”
In other words, seems a little early for gotchas here.
They were hardly the first to speculate on a Jewish IQ advantage from genetics: the entire meat was that there interpreted there to be evidence from rare variants which strongly support selection & genetic advantage. But, if they’re not there, they’re not there. Why should anyone be impressed by being (partially) right for the wrong reasons, when the wrong reasons were the novelty of the paper?
Have you presented any evidence the theory is wrong, or just that one paper N~1000 smart 12-year olds, didn’t show hardly any hits, on anything. And was obviously underpowered to pick up alleles with 0.5% or lower frequency.
Or is this all to celebrate maybe these are 1 IQ point and not 5?
Or something else. It’s not quite clear what you’re so happily celebrating.
I have listed 6 different categories of evidence all of which point to the non-existence of large beneficial rare variants anywhere much less in Ashkenazi specifically, and no one has yet given a single piece of positive evidence. If you want to make a G-of-the-gaps argument that ‘there is still a chance!’, feel free, but be honest about it. And misleading descriptions of power (that’s power for individual alleles, while power for any alleles is obviously much higher) are not that.
“In a class of 22, just one of the kids was Ashkenazi.”
Pure AJ are maybe 1% of Americans, possibly even less, born circa 2000. So 5x population over-representation. The mixed AJs are often hard to ID as such.
This paper always seemed suspect wrt IQ. 1 in 3000 is an IQ of around 151. But these are SATs with a 0.85 correlation or so, so more like 143. And they’re 12 year olds. Intelligence then is not fully 100% correlated with ultimate intelligence at 18, so the IQ cutoff is even lower. Very unclear where they’re coming up with this fantastic “170” figure. That’s 1 in 650,000, on their claimed 100/15sd scale.
Also Gwern seems very sloppy saying “most or all” Jews. A reasonable figure is maybe one third or one quarter based on every other stat of elite Jewish representation. Where is Gwern getting this idea no white people are smart… maybe from the fake “IQ 170” claim.
12yo IQ is pretty stable. It’s earlier than that that there’s considerable instability. (This is why Hunter Elementary doesn’t work.) You’re also doing your math wrong. Selecting top 1 in 3000 != mean IQ of 151: that’s the minimum. The average will obviously be higher than the minimum threshold. It’s a truncated normal, the mean for a threshold of 1/3000 would be 155 given simple random sampling (which this is not). The correction of the SAT is discussed in more detail in https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d0ff/50280f719fac3764d746fa9174724b16041d.pdf#page=2
And I did in fact work out the order statistics, and somewhere between half to nearly all is roughly what you get when you look at the mean IQs, consistent with what is usually anecdotally reported; and further, you recover the mean IQs for Asians & whites when you work back from the reported races of those as a sanity check.
Not that any of this establishes anything other than that there was a good chance that any rare variants would turn up and they failed to do so, just as they have failed to do so in the other 5 approaches, and there remains zero direct evidence.
Pincher Martin says:
I take it from this back-and-forth between Gwen and Greg that while recent GWAS correlation studies confirm Greg’s idea that Ashkenazi Jewish IQ is higher than the European White mean by about two-thirds of a standard deviation, they do NOT show any evidence of Greg’s hypothesis that this IQ gap is caused or helped by rare alleles that are also responsible for the genetic disorders in the AJ population.
To summarize: Ashkenazi Jews appear to be smarter than other whites only because they have more, genetically speaking, of what makes those other whites smart and not because they have anything different. If a geneticist studying these gene-IQ correlations were to isolate a group of White Goys with above-average intelligence of around 110, then from the point of view of his study that group would look indistinguishable from a group of Ashkenazi Jews with average intelligence (110).
Is that a fair summary?
the two 110 samples would not be identical: first, the Ashkenazi samples would be more influenced by genetics, less by environmental luck. second, the ability profile is different: Ashkenazi Jews do relatively better on verbal, relatively worse on spatial visualization.
Got it. Thanks.
“A prediction is that Gaucher, Tay-Sachs, and Niemann-Pick heterozygotes will have higher tested IQ than control groups, probably on the order of 5 points.
We do have strong but indirect evidence”
By ‘they were wrong’ Greg must have meant he was mostly wrong.
What studies are you referring to? I saw the N=50 one by Emil a few months back. Have there been others?
Another, n = 148. same results.
Do you have a link?

What studies do you have in mind? I saw the N=50 one by EOK a few months ago. Have there been others?
I’d like to see separate studies done on Israeli Ashkenazi Jews–and excluding all Israelis who identify as Ashkenazi but who have some other Jewish ancestry as well.
It would be interesting to see how the figures for Israeli Ashkenazi Jews compare to those for US Ashkenazi Jews. I’m not ruling out the possibility that the US got a lot of the Ashkenazi Jewish cognitive elite.
Boiling Off...? says:
Hmm… As I’d see it the main point of “The Natural Selection of Ashkenazi Jewish Intelligence” that needs testing is whether this is actually due to selection.
The alternative is not the absence of an AJ advantage in a “forced” niche, but the Maristella Botticini related theory that Rabbinic Jews opted into literacy for religious reasons, then only those that opted into high income jobs coul afford to maintain the tradition – https://slate.com/human-interest/2012/11/the-myth-of-jewish-literacy-maristella-botticini-and-zvi-eckstein-explain-why-an-emphasis-on-education-has-been-bad-for-jews.html
A “boiling off” theory of sorts, possibly compounded in Europe by the particular bottleneck of AJs, then followed by massive growth of Eastern European population, with Eastern AJs showing even higher demographic growth as along for the ride with the rise of the Eastern European burgs and burghers. In this model, selection within the AJ population doesn’t really matter.
I have my doubts about this of course; I’m not sure if Rabbinic Jews were more widely literate in the manner she suggests (the Bar-Mitzvah’s inclusion of literacy, for’ex, seems like a recent invention among European AJs), and this all suggests that the Middle Eastern Rabbinic Jews should show the same advantage as they follow the same religion, yet the Israeli experience doesn’t seem to be like that so much.
Selection in europe has to matter, because the Ashkenazi Jews (mostly European) effectively came into existence there.
Sure, but differential reproduction within the population which “came into existence” such that more intelligent individuals within the population had higher fitness and this changed that population phenotype over time, that is what you propose and that is what requires testing. It is not the case that “Higher PRS scores, job done”.
Pretty close. The original population was half Italian chicks, and I’d bet money that they weren’t picked for their SAT scores. The original average IQ can’t have been especially high. But it is now. What could have caused that change?
If the extra IQ came from the Middle eastern fraction… come on, do the math.
Most or all of the selection to happen in Europe because the founding groups was at least half european. If the smarts came from the Middle East, Middle Eastern Jews would be smarter, less diluted, than the Ashkenazi. But it’s the other way round. Do I have to explain everything?
While I’m at it, the whole paper was an obvious exercise in ag science/psychometrics. The fact that nobody ever even laid out the basic conditions for something like this to happen before us …
Boiling Off....? says:
Greg, I’m not sure what’s up with your blank incomprehension here. The opposed hypothesis I am presenting is not differential fertilty happened in a single Middle Eastern Jewish, it is that, pace Botticini, all the Rabbinic populations today are are remnant of a bunch of different, admixed Jewish populations that all boiled off their less intelligent members due to a religious shift to (expensive) literacy and education. The admixed population with Hebrew males and Roman females forms before the religious change, but most of that group were sloughed off into the general Italian population, except the smartest, as the new religious norms form. Pace Botticini, same thing happening in Jewish populations in ME at same time.
The mix probably does not form before the religious change. From the latest genetic reports, looks as if the formation time is close, maybe simultaneous with Jewish settlement in the Rhineland: so they must not be descended from Roman Jews in Imperial times.
Second, since Oriental Jews in Israel score 14 points lower than Ashkenazi Jews, we may not need a special explanation of their high IQ.
Significant uncertainties around admixture dates, and we all know the technical reasons why if we’re at the level of talking about this (Do we ever really trust ALDER to get it closer than the nearest half millennium? Even with much more diverged populations).
But if we’re talking after the formation of the religion (Rabbinic Judaism, which is in the 6th century), we’re talking Ashkenazi/Sephardi as purely the legacy of 7th century admixture of fresh-off-the-boat Hebrew males and Italian females? What’s bringing them to Italy during the last downphase of the Roman Empire? (Some would say the “Fall of the Roman Empire”). Great opportunities for agricultural workers during the fall of the empire?
If we have solid evidence of the un-special IQ of Jewish Middle Eastern populations, that secures that a correlated shift to a boiling event to a high IQ subset does not happen across different Rabbinical-izing populations (as their religion demanded literate education of all male participants).
But then what do we make of Botticini’s claim (and evidence) that a correlated shift was going on in all these different Jewish communities into high financial reward, white collar, cognitively loaded occupations, and that this has nothing to do with being forced out of agriculture by the Roman church, and was intimately related to with the skills of literacy that their religion demanded, and the commercial value that these skills had? Did the ME Jews take part in this but “get” nothing for it cognitively? Is she wrong and this never happened (Rabbinic Judaism never had literacy requirements, the ME Jewish populations were not concentrated in high status/literate occupations)?
Shai Carmi’s group looked at this problem every which way: lots of simulations to check accuracy. Not just Alder. But it’s a complex problem. ADNA should tell us more.
Looking at the sum total of the Jews in Israel that originated in the Islamic countries, their average IQ isn’t especially high. That we know. There may be regional exceptions.
I’ve looked hard at “boiling events”: they require very unusual circumstances.
Second: were the Jews of Islam concentrated in white-collar jobs? No.

Vox Day claims that the mean IQ of Ashkenazim Jews cannot be over 106. He has been very emphatic on this point.
Vox Day likes to pontificate as one of the smartest guys in the room.
BTW, he now thinks the moon landings were faked. I think he’s gone over the top.
Montmorillonite says:
He also doesn’t believe in evolution. Or was it abiogenesis?
Anyway, yeah, a refutation of Vox Day’s claims would be nice because there are many HBD dilettantes going around saying that the higher Ashkenazi IQ is a Jewish supremacist hoax because of him. The crux of his argument, iirc, is that the Israeli mean IQ is too low for a high Ashkenazi IQ to be possible.
Tbomb says:
Pretty sure the best evidence for explaining Jewish dominance of the Ivy League and billionaire charts etc. remains squarely anchored in mental ability: http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/ashkenaz.htm.

That speaks to the US populations, Soviet populations, and worldwide-ish for Fields Medal and who really cares if there is a tad bit of adverse selection wrt Israel.
This is a bit like claiming there’s a Kenyan supremacist hoax in marathon running…. Because of some random messy datapoint some internet troll can’t explain while ignoring all other evidence…
just a lurker says:
Both. And also vaccines, holocaust, moon landing, 9/11, climate change, theory of relativity and many other things.
But he is not completely bad – he is 100% right about the liar, fraud and charlatan Jordan Peterson. It takes a master to recognize fellow master.
Rfg says:
Yes, saying vaccines might have adverse consequences (and have been shown to have them in many studies on rats and humans), saying many Jews were killed out east or in transport or from famine and disease not necessarily gassing, distrusting the now-lost moon footage and materials and the guilt ridden press conference, and noticing those buildings in free fall is all on par with doubting the science supporting natural selection.
As to climate change, of course there’s more CO2 from fossil fuel burning, and of course it causes warming, the question is whether other factors will trump that small delta and actually result in warming, cooling, nothing over what timeline. And whether “being green” is the solution or climate engineering or some smarter solution besides using a hair less fossil fuel that’s getting used anyway…
I don’t really read the “man”, and suspect his wife is fake, a quite plausible conspiracy theory on its own, but are those meant to be insults to him?
You’re a nut too: someone had to tell you.
Vox Day is “very emphatic” about many points.

Nasdaq - The Week on Wall Street
Earnings helped give the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 a slight lift last week, offsetting investor disappointment over the small scope of the preliminary U.S.-China trade deal reached on October 11. Blue chips took a small weekly loss. The Nasdaq and S&P respectively gained 0.40% and 0.54% on the week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated just 0.17%. Outdoing these three benchmarks, the MSCI EAFE index tracking stocks in developed overseas markets rose 1.35%.1,2
The Early Earnings Picture
According to stock market analytics firm FactSet, 15% of S&P 500 companies had reported results through Friday’s close. Of those companies, 84% announced that net profits topping projections, and 64% said that revenues had exceeded forecasts. One big question is whether overall earnings for S&P 500 firms will show year-over-year growth. There was no year-over-year earnings gain evident in either Q1 or Q2.3
Retail Sales Declined Last Month
Shoppers scaled back their purchases in September. The Census Bureau announced a 0.3% dip for retail sales, the first decrease in seven months. Auto sales can influence this number, and car and truck buying fell 0.9% last month. A fall pickup in that category may help encourage another monthly advance.4
If you buy your own health coverage, note that the open enrollment period for 2020 health insurance plans begins on November 1 in most states. The open enrollment window closes on December 15.5

Thursday: A report on September new home sales arrives from the Census Bureau.
Friday: The University of Michigan’s final October Consumer Sentiment Index appears, evaluating consumer confidence levels.

Russia's Dalaloyan wins men's all-around on tiebreaker
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Artur Dalaloyan of Russia won the men's world all-around gymnastics title, edging China's Xiao Ruoteng during a taut and tense final on Wednesday.
Dalaloyan and Xiao, the 2017 all-around champion, both finished with a total of 87.598. Dalaloyan was awarded the gold medal after officials dropped the lowest score.
Dalaloyan's teammate Nikita Nagornyy took bronze with a total of 86.331.
The victory was a redemption of sorts for Dalaloyan, who botched his parallel bars mount during team finals, a mistake that played a factor in the Russians losing the team title to China by less than five-hundredths of a point.
China's Sun Wei was fourth. American Sam Mikulak was in medal contention heading into the final rotation, but the five-time national champion lost grip with one arm during his high bar routine, a miscue that dropped him to fifth.

Arc 6 – Chapter 60, “One Bright Place”
Nobidexx
Owari-chan!
ーー『Hall of Memories』 and 『Louis Arneb』.
Yes, as Subaru silently looked at the blonde girl, Louis, who had answered his questions.
He did not expect to land up in this white place, nor did he expect to encounter this girl. And, this girl, and this atmosphere had a sense of familiarityーー,
Subaru: “……. What do you mean by the Witch Cult, and 『Gluttony』 and Sin Archbishop anyway.”
Louis: “A~h ~tsu.”
At Subaru’s words, Louis placed her hands on her face and tilted her head.
Regardless of this particular moment, the spectacle of this girl standing within the dazzling white was a breathtaking sight, but still, Subaru’s instincts had been bothered by it since earlier.
Subaru’s survival instincts, which had developed in the peace of modern day Japan, were highly unlikely to be of any use. The fact that they were alarmed, it was unquestionably because of the odd presence of this girl.
On top of that, being slapped with an unexpected situation, this was something he could not helpーー Subaru’s knowledge was far too lacking to comprehend this.
The same applied regarding the Witch Cult Sin Archbishop or the Od’s Hall of Memories. Perhaps all this was common knowledge in this world, however, unfortunately enough, Subaru lacked all such knowledge.
Hence, it was difficult to formulate questions that would help in further developmentーー,
Louis: “ーーThe Witch Cult is, to summarise, a group of people that are hated by this entire world.”
Subaru: “Oh?”
Louis: “Even onii-san must have had heard about the name 『Witch of Envy』 at least? The Witch Cult, you see, is deeply connected to that Witch-sama…… We~ll, think of them as something similar to believers.”
Subaru: “…… Then, what you had said earlier, this goes for Sin Archbishop, huh.”
Sin and archbishop, although they gave off a sense of conflict, they went pretty well as a combination, and they line up with Subaru’s tastes in names.
Regardless, the moment you hear that,
Subaru: “I understand that it’s a name for the evil.”
Louis: “So harsh, isn’t it harsh, how harsh, as it’s harsh, really harsh, even though it’s harsh you kno~w.”
Shaking her head in denial, in front of Subaru, Louis hugs her petite body. However, her smile did not fade away from her mouth, only her gestures were of refusal.
She was a girl whose true feelings could not be foretoldーー No, rather, should it be said that they were completely incomprehensible?
Louis: “With such words, don’t bully fragile girls, onii-san. Even we get hurt, you know? Because like many other people, we also have a delicate and soft heart.”
Subaru: “You’re not convincing at all. Also, do you want to act like a character by using that way of referring to yourself? Or, is it a cool appeal of being a one-man army or something similar? We and us, it’s not normal though.”
Louis: “A~h…… don’t worry about that. It’s just that, with so many personalities, it gets a bit confusing about which one is to be subjected. We’re getting tired of it too.”
Saying that, Louis turned her gaze downwards, following up with a “But”.
Louis: “It can’t be helped. They are gifts from onii-chan and nii-sama, not accepting them properly would be a failure as a younger sister. We’re siblings so we must cooperate with each other.”
Subaru: “……That’s, thinking of your brothers’ feelings, you’re an adorable younger sister. I was an only child so I’m jealous.”
Louis: “Is that so? By now, onii-san may have gotten a younger brother or sister though, no?”
Subaru: “Will you not say such scary things!? I don’t even want to imagine that!?”
Anyhow, parents are close couples, it was no matter to joke over.
For those parents, now that Subaru is gone, having another childーー no, it was inconceivable.
If Subaru disappeared, Subaru’s parents would keep searching for him until they’ve found him. What must have had his mother felt, seeing that her son did not even bid a final farewell? What must have had his father experienced because of all this?
The thought of them figuring out that Subaru had been reincarnated in a different world.
If they would endlessly search for their absent son, Subaru wished they would just get to know that he died and was reincarnated into a different world and make them taste the pain of losing their child. That would be much easier. That would save so much of their time and effort.
That was whyーー,
Louis: “ーーWe understand, onii-san.”
Subaru: “ーー~hk! Don’t joke around!”
With both his hands gripped upon the floor covered with air, Subaru flew into a rage as Louis continued looking at him from below.
That gaze, it was not because of worry. However, just from that dark gaze, it became obvious that she had seen through Subaru’s feelings.
Subaru found that frustrating, and shrugging at Louis, he turned his back towards her.
Subaru: “As if you’d know anything about me! Stop saying such selfish thi…….”
Louis: “ーーYou are sorry for your mother and father, aren’t you? Failing to bid even a single goodbye, you regret how disobedient of a son you were. No, you were always filled with regret. Both now and before weren’t you?”
Yes, understanding everything, Louis softly crawled upon Subaru’s back, in an attempt to make him realise that.
A small, light body. Holding his breath, Subaru stiffened his own body.
It wasn’t because of the girl cuddling with him. It was because of the girl’s words themselves.
That understanding speech, however, unmistakably, had struck at Subaru’s heart.
Louis: “How do we know, you say? It’s obvious that we would know. After all, there is nobody that knows about onii-san as much as we or us.”
Subaru: “ーーDon’t touch me!”
Louis: “Ah.”
Shaking away his arms, Subaru moved away from Louis, who had her lips sharpened, and resumes his breathing.
What the hell. Are the women of this world, not hesitant at all about setting up close relationships between them and newly acquainted men? The similarity is uncanny.
As a matter of fact, he was afraid that with his body’s temperature rising, his heart may become weaker.
Subaru: “Just, what the hell are you! What are you trying to say!”
Louis: “We’re telling you, we just want onii-san to feel a bit relieved. It’s alright, it’s alright. You are co~mpletely separated from your mom and dad, the ones your feelings clung on to. Even though it may be only by your side, you want to face them again. You have absolutely no doubts about that. Face to face, isn’t it.”
Saying that, Louis put her right claw on her left arm. Grabbing it tightly, she started to, seemingly painfully, wound that thin, white arm.
As Subaru continued looking at what she was doing, Louis was getting awfully redder, and showing her long tongue,
Louis: “Ostensibility is, completely healthy. It looks like you don’t hold that in your heart at all. You’re skilled at it, onii-san. It’s sad that you are skilled at it, onii-san.”
As if his chest had been terribly slashed, Subaru twisted his lips.
Not intending to play along with her anymore, Subaru decided to follow the warning alarm of his instincts, which were ringing because of a different reason now.
Subaru: “I have no idea, about what you want to say. I have no idea but, stop scratching those wounds open. Well, this a conversation where we’re just playing catch. No stupid talk. Let’s try working this out.”
Louis: “Together?”
Subaru: “Together. Yes, like…… let’s continue our earlier conversation about the Sin Archbishops.”
Not wanting Louis to suffer anymore, Subaru returned to the original topic quickly.
If Sin Archbishop literally meant Sin Archbishop, then he had an idea about the possible relationship between the words Sin and 『Gluttony』.
Subaru: “If you are 『Gluttony』, then, are there six other people like you?”
Louis: “Including onii-chan and nii-sama, it’d be around six people we guess? Ah, but, recently we lost two so it’s maybe just four now. It’d be nice if those two also, just die off.”
Subaru: “……If you feel that way, then your sense of comradeship must be pretty low.”
Louis: “It’s obvious. We all may be called Sin Archbishops, but in the end we’re just a group of people hated by the world. We are just named a bit differently, otherwise we are the same as the 『Witch』.”
Saying that, Louis knelt down at that spot.
As she did so, it seemed like something was sinking down within the sea of long golden thread-like hair, an exceedingly unique sight.
Scratching his head, Subaru sat down, carefully at a position where he didn’t tread on her hair, and said “Witch?” while tilting his neck.
Subaru: “From being the same as the Witch you mean, that ridiculously scary Witch?”
Louis: “Unsurprisingly, the 『Witch of Envy’s』 nature is worse than even us so we don’t want to be grouped together with her though. The rest is all the same. The 『Witch』 and Sin Archbishops, they are just named differently, otherwise they are the same. The good-for-nothings that take in the Witch Factors, are just called by different names in different times and positions.”
Louis: “We~ll, the current onii-san has forgotten about the 『Witch』 and Sin Archbishops, and us anyway, so either of them may be fine. We understand, we perfectly understand, we fully understand, as we understand, though we understand, because we understand, because we want to understand……”
Subaru: “Keep quiet.”
Cutting in between, Subaru stopped her wave of words and put his hand on his chin.
He somewhat felt like he had heard something important. Although currently it isn’t explicitly relevant to Subaru, the probability of Emilia and the others not finding this information useful was low.
But this wasn’t the reason why Subaru had his hand on his chin, why he was in deep thought.
Subaru had been thinking that it was no longer possible to avoid the sense of incongruity that came with Louis’ answersーー No, it was certainly a feeling that was known.
If there had been something that came to his mind for that reason, it wasーー,
Subaru: “By any chance, are you a God?”
Louis: “A God you say…… Ah, that? Something like, reincarnation in a different world? We don’t really get it but, we have nothing to do with that. Certainly, this place may cause such strange feelings though.”
Fluttering the fluffy blonde hair that slid down her back, forming a cage, Louis responded.
Louis: “This place is, just as it looks. A place with nothing to lose, therefore a place that has nothing. As we’re alone in this place, we may look something like it’s guardian.”
Subaru: “Od Lagna’s cradle, was it? You said it’s name was the Hall of Memories, though I don’t understand anything about it, not a single thing.”
Louis: “Mm, mm, mm, mm, is that so…… To summarise, this is the place where the soul gets filtered.”
Subaru: “Soul gets, filtered?”
Question marks arose in Subaru’s mind, as he heard an expression he was not acquainted with.
Filter would mean the same as the process of filtration, however, it is not often that you hear that for souls.
However, Louis pleasantly says “Yes yes” as she pulled her knees in.
Louis: “After using something once, you would wash and dry it and reuse it again? The same goes for souls. Cleansed of it’s stains, it goes back to it’s beautiful state.”
Subaru: “What do you mean by stains…… things like memories or experiences?”
Subaru turned his neck around toward Louis, who distorted her cheeks and displayed her tongue.
As usual, there came up nothing new in the white spaceーー in the Hall of Memories. In this unpopulated world of white, there was no easy-to-understand evidence for what Louis had said.
If this place was like what Louis had told it is, perhaps there would be floating visual evidences of souls, memories or experiences in some way.
Louis: “Well, it’s not so easy to understand.”
Subaru: “That God Od Lagna is pretty cruel.”
Louis: “That thing can’t be called a god. It isn’t as wonderful as it may seem. It’s just a mechanism. A mechanism to keep the world from breaking.”
Subaru: “A mechanism……”
Louis: “No Witch Factor, no Protection, no 『Sword Saint』, no 『Witch』, is special in it’s eyes. If there’s anything good about Od Lagna, it’s that it is equal, fair, and uninterestedly indifferent.”
Narrowing her eyes uninterestedly, Louis closed her attractive eyelashes to touch her face. Subaru catches a small breath, in front of the kneeling girl with her cheeks distorted.
Till now, the girl had spoken with him with sincerity. This makes him think that she would not lie, probably. Because of that, Subaru exhaled.
Bringing it to his tongue, swallowing it back, and bringing it to his tongue again, he looked at her.
And, asked.
Subaru: “ーーDid you, steal away my memories of everything till yesterday?”
Louis: “That’s right?”
The villain answered the question, astonishing Subaru completely.
Subaru closed his eyes, as he asked that question and received it’s answer.
He did not feel much denial. The truth is, he felt that to be the case by just this brief interaction.
Louis was, too well-informed. She was deeply informed regarding Subaru’s heart.
That was exactly why, what the current Subaru did not know much about, Louis Arneb knew about 『Natsuki Subaru』.
This was not the case when words could be figured out through looks, that was why Subaru had asked sincerely and gotten affirmed.
Strangely enough, what was rising in his chest was not rage, but a feeling of being convinced.
In other wordsーー,
Subaru: “ーーSo yesterday, I really did come here.”
Louis: “Strictly speaking, the way of coming was a bit different. But we~ll, the purpose was the same. The results were just slightly different. But, how amazing. How wonderful. How many times, have you reached up to this point?”
Louis: “Hey, answer, onii-san. We answered when it was our turn. ーーOnii-san, from after getting eaten by us, which count of onii-san is this?”
Immediately after hearing Louis’ question, chills ran up Subaru’s spine.
Her eyes, her question, made her knowledge about 『Return by Death』 clear.
No, it was obvious. It was natural.
If she had stolen 『Natsuki Subaru’s』 memories, and could freely browse through all of it’s contents, it would be no mystery that she would know about 『Return by Death』.
『Return by Death』 isn’t an ability exclusive to amnesiac Subaru, it was surely possessed by 『Natsuki Subaru』 before he lost his memory as well.
Certainly, 『Natsuki Subaru』 had lived through several difficulties. The result of which he gained the trust of Emilia, Beatrice and the rest of his friends, in other words, just like a cheat code.
Subaru did not intend to fault it. Whether it’s a cheat or foul play, he will be willing to use it without any hesitation if someone else’s life was in danger. 『Natsuki Subaru’s』 choice was correct. Which was why, in the current of absence of 『Natsuki Subaru』, Subaru will do it in his stead.
And, recognising it’s value of usability, he swallowed the power of 『Return by Death』.
However, contrary to his preparedness, Subaru had a strange sense of anxiety, concern, rise within his chest.
Louis Arneb was violating that inescapable fear, that taboo.
That isーー,
Louis: “ーーYou cannot have anyone find out about it? If it’s about that then, it’s already too late, onii-san. After all, us meeting onii-san, happened yesterday, no?”
Louis: “The 『Rule』 of not having anyone know it, has been broken a long time ago. But, what happens in the Hall of Memories cannot leak outside easily. That’s why, the scary 『Witch』 will not make her move.”
Louis, with her limbs on the ground, approached Subaru’s face , who was sitting cross-legged. With a smile that was unsuitable for her age, and a long red tongue hanging out,
Louis: “Hey, onii-san. How many times has it been?”
At that voice, Subaru felt a painful numbness, as if that tongue had stabbed right through his mind.
Then, slightly twitching his own tongue and throat,
Subaru: “……It’s the, fifth time.”
Louis: “ーー~tsu! Amazing, how amazing, really amazing, absolutely amazing, isn’t it amazing, truly amazing, because it’s amazing, because it’s admirably amazing…… Gluttonous drinking ~tsu! Gluttony ~tsu!”
Subaru: “Hu~h ~hk!”
Louis: “We want to taste onii-san so unbearably, that it feels like it’ll be the death of our stomach! Speaking from our experience, we think that eating and sexuality are pretty similar. Sexuality in other words, is love, isn’t it? Then in other words, onii-san, weーー“
Pushing herself over Subaru, Louis, with hot breaths and excited eyes, seemed as if she were riding a horse. With cheeks full of cheerfulness, and with eyes full of enchantment, Louis lets her tongue roll over Subaru’s neck without any hesitation.
With the same pace, the words she seemed to be about to say, could be well imaginedーー,
Louis: “ーーLove you.”
In the previous loop, Subaru, who desired 『Death』 under those desperate circumstances, such words of love were thrown at him several times, and recalling that, he felt his heart seemingly explode.
Subaru: “Is that so, you cowardly brat ~hk!”
Louis: “ーーUhi.”
Opening his eyes, Subaru grabbed the throat of the dominating girl and forcibly pushed her brutally onto the white floor. This time, it was Subaru’s turn.
Her body was thin and light. Biting his teeth, Subaru held her neck in his hands and pushed her onto the floor, with her long blonde hair spreading all over the floor, it seemed as if he had pushed her onto a golden bed.
Subaru: “How could you be careless? How unfortunate! In this position, I am overwhelmingly advantageous! If you don’t want to me to continue strangling you like this, you better……”
Louis: “Return your memories? If we don’t return them, you will strangle us? Our neck, a weak girl’s?”
With her neck grabbed and grasping the right to resist being murdered, Louis looked at Subaru, who snorted, with eyes that had not changed a single bit since earlier, and loosened her lips.
And from those loosened lips, she let out a voice that seemed like a curse.
Louis: “Can onii-san even do such a thing?”
Subaru: “ーーYou think, that I can’t?”
Louis: “Rather than think, we know. After all, you know, right now we know more about onii-san than onii-san himself.”
Saying that, Louis pushes her index finger into her cheek and tilted her small head in an attempt to provoke him. At her attitude, Subaru sighed and looked at his right hand which had grabbed Louis’ neck.
He should increase the strength he was applying into his arms in order to show his seriousness.
If he manages to prove he’s serious, Louis’ mind might change.
If you are asked if you can even kill or not, it certainly gets difficulty. That is a fact.
Even though he had a proper reason to, Subaru had been unable to swing down a single stone at his companion’s head.
So, even if he was well aware that he was dealing with an enemy, it was not possible to tighten his grip on the girl’s neck in front of him.
No, he could do it as much as he wanted it. He needed to.
He thinks about Emilia, Beatrice, Ram, Meili, Julius, Echidna, Shaula, Patrasche, everyone, and. Andーー,
Louis: “ーーThe strength, from your arms has disappeared, hasn’t it, onii-san.”
Louis: “We really didn’t plan to resist? After all, right now, we are just the weak girl we look like. Unlike onii-chan and nii-sama, we cannot use the strength of the eaten person, until we take their form.”
Saying that, Louis pushed away Subaru’s right hand which had her neck grasped, with fingers that were previously poking her own cheek. In all it’s weakness, Subaru’s palm unexpectedly let go of her throat.
Subaru: “Shit…… ~hk!”
Louis: “Don’t get depressed like this, onii-san. It was a job well done, well done. After all, to be honest…… we never even thought that onii-san would come back here.”
Subaru: “Do you think, that you’re doing good job at consoling me with all this?”
Louis, lying on the ground in the same position as she was pushed into, passed her opinion. He wished to break that face and put forward his demand, but he was unable to find the right words to do so.
Hence, in the end, looking at Subaru drenched in disappointment, Louis passed out a “Ahaha” as if she was admiring some fish in an aquarium.
Louis: “But we~ll, isn’t it fine. If we return the memories of “Natsuki Subaru” or something, the current onii-san will die, and it would be a foolish death to commit suicide like this.”
Louis: “Huh, what’s with that strange reaction? Did you not realise that? If memories return, they will overwrite the current you, and your current existence will disappear…… isn’t that, the same as death?”
ーーThat, Louis states her mysterious answer as if it was an obvious matter, and Subaru stiffened his body at her attitude.
He’ll die. He’ll disappear. Yes, he had been told that clearly.
The moment the memories of 『Natsuki Subaru』 return, Subaru’s current consciousness and memories will get overwritten and disappear.
If that wasn’t 『Death』, then it wasーー,
Louis: “ーーRight now, 『Natsuki Subaru』 is dead. After all, he isn’t anywhere. But, if 『Natsuki Subaru』 comes back, this time onii-san will die. After all, he won’t be able to go anywhere.”
Louis: “Hey u~m, after knowing all that, is it really worth bringing 『Natsuki Subaru』 back? We mean, onii-san should be be able to do the same things? After all, onii-san also must have had come to like the people around him the same way. Everyone around as well, will come to like onii-san in the same way. ーーWhat’s so bad in that?”
Subaru: “What is……”
If it said, that there’s nothing bad in that, surely there is nothing bad in that.
Subaru is, a person full of faults. So many faults that he hated himself for that. If someone asks him who he hated the most in the whole world, he would answer himself without any hesitation.
That much, was the good-for-nothing, lacking Natsuki Subaru.
However, Subaru has nothing to do with this matter.
ーーThe fact is, there is only a single glimmer of sunlight for him.
Subaru: “I, Emilia-chan and the others……”
He had wanted to return 『Natsuki Subaru』.
That’s why, he intended to prepare himself in such a way that, if he ever gained an opportunity to gain back his memories, he would grab it with no hesitation.
However, his disappearance, made him, completely, close his eyes away.
Speaking with absolute convenience, if their two memories mix together, the current Subaru will remain somewhere inside 『Natsuki Subaru』, that was the miracle he hoped for.
Subaru’s such an uncertain expectationーー,
Louis: “It’s really a mystery? You may end up not seeing things the same way as now.”
Louis bared her teeth to Subaru, who was feeling very conflicted, and her eyes had a look like that of a cat’s when it spots a rat.
The villain who robbed away his memories, was extremely carefree, and could not know any better about the rest. This wasn’t a lie, surely it was the truth.
Louis Arneb did not return anything she takes from her opponents.
So really, in exchange for having his memories return, nobody knew how Natsuki Subaru would end up.
Louis: “Onii-san, you were born and have this life, you must live it to its fullest.”
Casually, she slaps the insult right at Subaru’s face despite being so close to him.
Louis: “As a result of us eating 『Natsuki Subaru’s』 memories, onii-san is here. In other words, doesn’t that make us like onii-san’s birth parent. In front of that very mother, her child making a choice to die, isn’t that tragically disobedient to the parent, onii-san.”
Subaru: “Such, nonsense…… ~hk.”
Louis: “ーーMemories are what shape people, onii-san.”
With all facial expression erased, Louis said that with serious voice in a low, cold tone.
Subaru inhales at the unexpected sharpness of her words.
At the same time, he felt that this was not his first time hearing those words. That sound, those words, just before the second 『Death』 were alsoーー,
Louis: “The current onii-san has relationships that the current onii-san has made. Looking straight ahead and living a new and positive life, won’t that be nice. That is also something you should consider, is what we think.”
Louis: “Besides, we’re not so sure if we should say this but…… 『Natsuki Subaru』 wasn’t the most ideal man, you know?”
Closing one eye, Louis punched Subaru’s feelings, with an expression difficult to figure out.
Continuing her actions, while directly looking at Subaru, she puts her hands on her chest, and her dark, deep eyes seemed to be similar to that of a dreaming maidenーー,
Louis: “Pitiful Emilia! Just because of her birth being the same as the former Witch, anyone and everyone avoided her! Ah, how kind am I, to still stay with you!”
Subaru: “Wha…..”
Louis: “Weak and fragile Beatrice! With not a single person to rely on, a lonely girl who spent all her time alone! To take her through this dark and dangerous path, I must hold her hand!”
In front of the surprised Subaru, Louis continued her words, taking the names of two girls who had wished and prayed for Subaru’s safety, for them, she spoke of a horribly twisted impression.
Subaru knew exactly what Louis aimed to say.
He knew, but that’s.
Louis: “Devoting her undivided dedication and unbound love, Rem! So foolish and beautiful, how pure. Surely she is someone who feels to be living an empty life unless she desperately does something for someone else. That should be lead by this existence known as myself!”
Subaru: “What are you…… What are you trying to do!?”
Louis: “This was all what 『Natsuki Subaru』 believed. He wanted a sense of superiority. All the time, he never thinks it’s for someone else. Using the convenient people around him to satisfy his hunger, to drink on the pleasure of reaching out to someone. He won’t feed on just anything. He’d rather stay away from that.”
Louis: “Do you really want to substitute yourself for that 『Natsuki Subaru』?”
She repeats that question.
That was a request from Louis, from 『Gluttony』, to have Subaru’s confession.
Louis is asking Subaru to say what his heart truly feels.
If he didn’t want to die, or if he wanted to die, and if he was to die, would he die for such a person, and all that.
ーーNo, Subaru’s death won’t be for 『Natsuki Subaru』.
–No, Subaru did not intend to die in the first place. He wanted to return 『Natsuki Subaru』 to Emilia and the others, but if it meant his own death.
–No, but, could 『Natsuki Subaru』 really be trusted? At the very least, he knew 『Natsuki Subaru』 had killed Meili and carved all those inscriptions onto the walls.
Louis: “We~ll, what do you want to do, onii-san.”
Saying that, Louis grabbed Subaru’s hands with her own thin ones and set them on her own neck.
Once again, though this time she intended this, Subaru’s hands held Louis’ thin neck. If he applies force in his arms, it would surely break with ease.
He had just concluded that he couldn’t do it.
But not doing it meant, that he would be killing 『Natsuki Subaru』ーー at the very least, that was what Louis had said.
Suppose that he broke the thin neck he was holding, and 『Natsuki Subaru』 came back and the current Subaru disappeared, would the result of his action also disappear?
If that’s so, then what Subaru is trying do with such little courage, was.
Louis: “We~ll.”
Subaru: “ーーーー”
Louis: “What? What will you do? What will it be? What will you be doing? What do you plan to do? What do you want to do? What do you want to be done? What can you even do? Whatever may the outcome be, it’s fine? Whatever you may end up doing, it’s fine? Whatever you may do, we will forgive youーー”
Louis’ words, which seemed like curses, struck Subaru’s eardrums.
Louis Arneb, 『Gluttony』, a Sin Archbishop, a thin girl, a hated existence, his creator.
Urged Natsuki Subaru to choose what had to be done with 『Natsuki Subaru』.
It began.
Louis: “ーーWhat do you want to do? Onii-san.”

Chris hansen: please, have a seat.
Subaru: where?
Chris hansen: anywhere but the hair.
For 2 years I have waited for this moment… why I say 2 years and not 3 months? Because he is soo close to potentially waking up Rem. ;-;

The great thing about this is that it was the Authority of Gluttony taking Subaru’s memory rather than the Library. The effect of Gluttony taking his memory should have been the same as on Crusch: he should have lost ALL knowledge of his past and identity. Instead, his specific memories since arriving are all that are gone. I still hold that a year ago, one of the Archbishop of Gluttony took his Existence, but only his existence on that world could be consumed, leaving him still with all his existence and memory from Earth. It was a full reset, with nobody who met him remembering him (other than Satella, and Shaula as well from how she acts), all his actions being attributed to others, and all his memories and experiences lost. Looking forward to more hints.
Finally!( It’s better to read it at a translation group rather than the raw) thanks
