View it on our website AE911Truth Blueprint Newsletter \| Vol. XVII \| Early January 2011 AE911Truth Action Groups in full force with an effort to get our evidence cards mailed to every architect and engineer in your area. Also, the new 9/11 Analysis DVD by David Chandler premieres this month in our online store and AE911Truth continues its effort to teach in every college and university. • AE911Truth Action Groups Are Shifting Into High Gear • New DVD Makes 9/11 Physics Accessible to All • Skeptical Inquirer Attacks 9/11 Truth Movement, Avoids Vast Body of Scientific Evidence • Ensuring Our Credibility: The AE911Truth Verification Team • 2011 Promises To Be Another Big Year for AE911Truth AE911Truth Action Groups Are Shifting Into High Gear by Richard Gage, AIA Respectful but no-nonsense conversations coming with officials across the country Each month our AE911Truth Action Groups around the US confer by telephone and decide which nationally coordinated action to take on or about the 11th of each month. In January we initially decided to orchestrate visits with elected representatives – local, state, and federal – in their local offices across the country. We would invite you to make an appointment and showing your rep or staffer the ten-minute version of 9/11: Blueprint for Truth. However, we are going to save this effort for February due to a more favorable climate for most elected reps. So in January we will do a different important action – mailing our new AE911Truth post cards out to the architects and engineers in your community. Simply copy addresses from your phone book onto the cards, add your return address, stick a 28-cent stamp on it, and drop it in the mail! Let the A/E’s do the rest! New DVD Makes 9/11 Physics Accessible to All by Michael Cook Physics Instructor David Chandler gives NIST another whack with the ruler There are several outstanding leaders in the 9/11 truth movement. High school and community college physics instructor David Chandler has found his place among them. With 30 years of experience teaching physics, math, and astronomy in a variety of schools in the US and India, Chandler easily guides the layperson through the basic physics of 9/11. His articulate, detailed website, co-produced with AE911Truth’s Jon Cole, another prominent contributor to our mission, provides valuable documentation of the controlled demolition of all three WTC skyscrapers. For instance, he has produced a premier article on Building 7 which he says presents physics at the level of “the first month of a high school physics course” in a Resistance Radio interview with Tod Fletcher. The NIST report on Building 7 is inconsistent with basic physics as we know it. Chandler notes “if the NIST report on Building 7 had been turned in by a first-year student in one of my classes, it would have received a D or an F.” Its 1,000 pages of error, negligence, and fraud are exposed by Chandler’s simple, historic papers and videos. Skeptical Inquirer Attacks 9/11 Truth Movement, Avoids Vast Body of by Jim Cirile For 35 years, Skeptical Inquirer has fought the good fight. The bimonthly magazine publication of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry seeks to “criticize claims of the paranormal and pseudoscience,” promote “a balanced view of science in the mass media” and “teach critical thinking in schools,” according to CSI founder Paul Kurtz. Despite this noble mission, Skeptical Inquirer recently delivered what its author probably believed was a fiery smack-down to the 9/11 Truth movement. Rutgers sociology professor Ted Goertzel’s double-length cover story in the January/February 2011 issue, “The Conspiracy Meme – Why Conspiracy Theories Appeal and Persist,” lumps the 9/11 Truth movement in with the “faked Moon landing,” and “AIDS was a government plot to kill gay people.” Ensuring Our Credibility: The AE911Truth Verification Team by Brian Romanoff Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth has an extraordinary Verification Team. They are a very special group of volunteers – individually responsible for ensuring that signers of the AE911Truth petition are real and the information they provide is accurate. All petition signers are verified, whether they are architects, engineers, or “other” supporters, and regardless of whether they live in the United States. Verifying 13,000 petition signers, 1,400 of whom are licensed and/or degreed A/E professionals, is no small task. In 2010 alone, more than 400 professional architects and engineers were verified and displayed on the AE911Truth petition. Each of domestic A/E signer is contacted personally by phone by one of the Verification Team volunteers. Not on our mailing list?

Close-Up with Richard Gage, AIA on New Zealand National Television AE911Truth petition signer Michael Donly, PE interviewed on Russia Today 2011 Promises To Be Another Big Year for AE911Truth Tours in the Works This month Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, starts out with his sleeves rolled up, back at the college chalk board on January 11, shedding light on “the Architecture of Destruction,” the subtitle of AE911Truth’s power-packed DVD. For the fourth consecutive year, Professor John Albert Dragstedt is bringing in AE911Truth to give a lecture as a part of his January term course at St. Mary’s College in Moraga, CA. Prof. Dragstedt’s course, “The Mythologies of Capitalism”. This January course deals with controversial topics over an intense month. And for Prof. Dragstedt, 9/11 is an “unparalleled atrocity” that must be understood, no matter how difficult or controversial that understanding might prove. Mr. Gage has made it his goal to contribute to that understanding everywhere from the halls of academia to the halls of Congress. We look forward to returning to Professor Dragstedt’s new group of students this January. College students might be the 9/11 truth movement’s best hope for creating a groundswell of support for a new investigation of 9/11 that will succeed decisively in 2011. We are a non–partisan association of architects, engineers, and affiliates. Our work at AE911Truth is dedicated to the victims, families and all others throughout the world affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. Our mission is to research, compile, and disseminate scientific evidence relative to the destruction of the 3 WTC skyscrapers, calling for a truly open and independent investigation and supporting others in the pursuit of justice.

__label__wiki	0.879421	0.879421	Aola, administrative center of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, stood on the north shore of Guadalcanal at the head of a broad indentation in the coastline named -- logically enough -- Aola Bay. It was obvious, even from a distance, that the settlement was English. A trim row of whitewashed houses looked out on the harbor, where a new R-class destroyer lay at anchor. As an outpost, however small, of His Majesty's Government, the place boasted two mooring masts: one for commercial and one for military traffic, located on opposite sides of the harbor. This division suited Captain Everett's purposes. By now the Japanese packet had docked at the commercial mast and was disembarking her passengers. Everett studied the vessel through binoculars and imagined he saw a glimmer of light reflecting back from a pair of lenses. "Mister Iverson," he announced. "We will take this opportunity to further your training. You will handle this approach without employing reverse thrust." "Sir?" asked the lieutenant. Their reversible propellers -- one of several unusual legacies they'd inherited from their vessel's unknown builders -- would have made the evolution considerably easier. "It will be good for your education," said Everett cryptically. "Yes, sir," said Iverson. "Helm, engines to idle. Ballast, be ready to weigh off when our speed drops below 10 knots..." "What did you think of our lieutenant's performance, sir?" asked Jenkins as he handed Everett his mail. The captain was sitting at the desk in his stateroom, where he'd been reviewing some paperwork after the mooring operation was complete. "He could have been a bit more decisive during that initial turn downwind, but otherwise he handled it well. I believe he has the makings of a capable officer. What do you have for me there?" "The Administrator extends his hospitality, and would be pleased if we could attend a reception to be held in our honor this Saturday. We've also received what I imagine is an invitation from the Japanese vessel." "Let's see what our colleagues have to say," said Everett. He opened an envelope addressed `To the Commanding Officer, His Majesty's Airship R-505', withdrew a neatly folded sheet of paper, examined it, and nodded. "The Master of the Shiratori Maru sends his regards and asks if I and members of my staff might wish to visit his command. I believe we should take him up on this offer. Please call Abercrombie and Mister Iverson and ask them to accompany us while I see if Iwamoto wishes to pay a visit to his countrymen. Everett found Iwamoto in the Number Three engine car, gazing out the window. The engineer's expression was as inscrutable as ever, but Everett imagined that he looked vaguely troubled. Iwamoto turned as Everett entered and offered his captain a bow -- a difficult feat in this cramped compartment. "Engines secure," he announced. "No problem with machinery." "Very good," said Everett. "You've done an excellent job. We have received an invitation to visit the Japanese vessel. I wonder if you might wish to accompany us." He gestured out the port, where the other airship could be seen riding at her mooring. Iwamoto nodded politely. "Thank you, Captain-sama, but need check left cylinder head. Seems running slightly hot. Maybe injectors sticking, fuel mixture too much lean." Is that so? thought Everett. Didn't you just assure me there was no problem with the machinery? "Very well," he replied lightly. "Carry on." From a distance, the Shiratori Maru's resemblance to one of Germany's Graf class was uncanny. This was not surprising. As newcomers to the world of aviation, the Japanese drew heavily from existing designs. But as Everett's party approached the ship, they began to notice differences. The fins seemed better streamlined. The control and engine cars were sleeker and conformed to a different aesthetic. The effect was one of refinement and attention to detail rather than slavish duplication of someone else's plan. They were met at the accommodation ladder by the vessel's interpreter: a young radioman named Kuroda. Accustomed to Iwamoto's novel grammar, Everett was pleasantly surprised. The interpreter's English was excellent, with none of the difficulty with lateral and rhotic consonants or terminal vowels that plagued some of his countrymen." "Welcome aboard, sirs," he said politely. "It is an honor to receive visitors from His Majesty's Navy. If you would like to accompany me, Captain Saikaku and his officers are waiting in the dining hall." The radioman pointed out various sights as they made their way down the keel passage. The Shiratori Maru was large as packets went -- with approximately 3.7 million cubic feet of enclosed volume, she was almost as big as a small liner. Like her exterior shape, her interior layout drew heavily from the German design, often down to the placement of individual fixtures such as control cable pulleys and ballast valves. But there were some noteworthy differences. Everett noticed Abercrombie glancing at some of the frame junctions they passed. "You see it too?" asked the Scotsman, speaking quietly so their host wouldn't overhear. "Yes," replied Everett. "We will not speak of this now." The dining hall was well-lit, impeccably furnished, and obviously intended to cater to a superior class of passenger. The effect was strange to Western eyes -- an unfamiliar mixture of elegance and simplicity that reflected centuries of tradition. In the flurry of introductions that followed their arrival, Everett gathered that many of the ship's officers held reserve commissions in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He quickly gave up any hope of remembering most of the unfamiliar names, but the most important seemed to be the captain and the ship's navigator: a senior lieutenant named Aizawa. "Welcome, Captain Everetu," said Captain Saikaku. "It is honor to have you aboard our vessel. Will you take some tea?" Everett accepted a cup from a young woman wearing a formal kimono. It was a green variety, different from the teas popular in England, but quite palatable. This was something the two cultures had in common, he thought. He wondered if his hosts also shared the English penchant for dissimulation. "It's a pleasure to be aboard," he replied. "Our two nations have a long history of friendship. I hope they can continue to prosper together." "We were glad to fight with your King against the Kaiser," said Captain Saikaku, with obvious sincerity. "Speaking as private individual, I hope this alliance continues." No fools, the Japanese had sided with England in the one-sided Pacific campaign. They'd used this opportunity to snap up several German territories, which they'd had to return after the Peace. "I understand your government has resumed normal relations with Germany," Everett observed, gesturing at the vessel around them. His host sighed. "They sell us plans and try to buy friendship. Some members of Diet say to accept. But most say England better friend during the War." "We did our best," said Everett modestly. "Were you involved in the conflict?" "No, I miss this opportunity," said Captain Saikaku, as if this was cause for regret. "But Lieutenant Ashikawa was at siege of Tsing Tao." The navigator offered a bow. "That fine ship you have, Everetu-sama. Is Junior Vickers?" "She's a sister ship, from a different yard," said Everett, not entirely untruthfully. "Ah," said the navigator. "I wonder her engines." His voice was so formal that it was difficult to tell whether the question was casual or not. "Beardmore makes excellent diesels," Everett replied. "They might not be as powerful as the latest German designs, but they also don't use as much fuel." His hosts nodded -- efficiency was important for long-range operations in the Pacific. Meanwhile, Everett gave himself a mental pat on the back for his skill at evading the question. "What do you think, sir?" asked Iverson as the made their way back to the Flying Cloud. "I believe we can accept Captain Saikaku and most of his people at face value," mused Everett, "They could be dissembling, but I can't imagine anyone could be that skillful. But I wonder about that Navigator. He asked some rather pointed questions about our vessel, as if he had suspicions about her origin." "That's why you wouldn't let us show off her performance or capabilities," said Iverson as understanding dawned. Everett smiled. "Very good , Mister Iverson. I trust you've found this exercise instructive." Next week: A Florida Vacation... Comments about Episode 118? Start a new topic on the Forum!

Chhatrpur Excavation conducted at the site during 2002-03 has revealed the basal remains of temple structure datable to 10-11th century A.D. The remains show that Bijamandal temple was the largest temple at Khajuraho. A good number of sculptures including a figure of Sarasvati have been found in different stages of carving indicating to the fact that the temple construction was in progress, when it had to be abandoned. Among the sculptures in the rajasena moulding dance scenes, elephants, Jain tirthankaras, one of which is partly carved, are of significance. The superstructure of the temple had collapsed and subsequently it was buried under many centuries of soil. The length of the Jagati, the only remaining part now extant is 34.60 m, is 4 m longer than that of the Kandariya Mahadeo temple. Deorkothar, dt.

The consideration of more than 100 amendments that have been filed – and how they may be incorporated or not within emerging new text for the bill – will be postponed until a later date that is yet be determined. In the meantime, MBA is staying actively engaged with the committee leadership and key Banking Committee staff. We have focused our efforts to promote legislation that will create a vibrant secondary mortgage market that ensures a level playing field for lenders of all sizes and business models, and maintains the access to affordable mortgage credit – particularly the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage – that consumers have come to rely upon. We have also worked with the Committee to promote sensible capital requirements, appropriately draw a “bright line” between primary and secondary mortgage market activities, and properly structure the small lender mutual, a member-owned cooperative created by the legislation. As the Committee’s mark-up progresses, we will keep you informed of the process, the changes contained in the emerging Johnson-Crapo Manager’s Amendment, and the outcome of other key amendments.

Key MBA Action MBA and Other Housing Trade Groups Question HUD’s Basis for FHA 2014 Loan LimitsMBA, the National Association of Home Builders, and the National Association of Realtors together sent a letter to HUD this week, asking the Department to release legal opinions developed by its staff related to the establishment of FHA’s 2014 loan limits. Previously, in response to prior MBA inquiries regarding its methodology for setting loan limits, HUD has indicated that when setting loan limits for 2014 for areas between the $271,050 base limit and the new maximum high cost limit of $625,500, HUD followed a legal opinion by its departmental lawyers which says that under the current statute HUD must use median home prices from 2008 or later. MBA strongly disagrees with HUD’s interpretation of the law and believes HUD has additional discretion under the law to moderate or even reverse many of the reductions seen in the 2014 loan limits. MBA believes the release of HUD’s legal opinions would bring greater transparency and allow MBA and others to better evaluate HUD’s basis for many of the 2014 loan limit reductions. MBA and Other Trades Call for FHA to Revise its Rule on Private Transfer FeesMBA and other trade groups called on HUD to change FHA’s rule on private transfer fees to mirror that of the GSEs. Currently, while the GSEs permit transfer fee covenants where proceeds are delivered to a community association or nonprofit and provide a direct benefit to the property, FHA does not permit them because of its interpretation of its rule requiring free assumability of property. MBA Sends Letter to FASB Supporting Proposed Classification of FHA Loans in ForeclosureLast week, MBA submitted a comment letter on an exposure draft for a proposed accounting rule change related to FHA-insured loans. The reason for the change is that there is currently diversity in practice on how to classify FHA loans in foreclosure in a reporting entity’s balance sheet. Some classify the asset as real estate owned and others as a receivable. FASB’s proposal would require all reporting entities to account for such assets as receivables — a position MBA supports — since it better portrays the risk associated with the asset. The FHA guarantee allows the creditor to look to the U.S. government for payment, not just proceeds from sale of the underlying property. FHA Commissioner Gives Interview on FHA’s MIP PolicyCarol Galante, HUD’s Assistant Secretary for Housing/FHA Commissioner, was recently interviewed by The Washington Post regarding FHA’s MIP policy. In the interview, which references the letter MBA sent to HUD urging the Agency to reexamine the current MIP structure, Commissioner Galante indicated her belief that it is not yet appropriate to consider rolling back premiums while FHA’s Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund remains below its statutory cap of two percent. Commissioner Galante’s comments in the interview largely echo remarks she made at MBA’s National Advocacy Conference on April 9th. MBA is continuing to work with HUD and other policymakers to urge them to consider options which would make FHA-insured loans more affordable. CFPB Holds Forum on Mortgage Closing Process, Issues Report Highlighting Pain Points for Consumers and Guidelines for Participation in Pilot Project to Study eClosingsLast Wednesday the CFPB held a Forum on the Mortgage Closing Process. CFPB Director Richard Cordray was joined by HUD Secretary Shawn Donovan and leaders from FHA, VA and USDA to discuss CFPB’s efforts to reach out to consumers and industry stakeholders in order to identify reoccurring issues with the mortgage closing process. CFPB believes that technological solutions—eClosings—may help with some of these issues and to that end Director Cordray announced a pilot initiative to study how eClosings might alleviate the consumer pain points identified by CFPB. The Bureau issued Guidelines for companies that are interested in participating in the Pilot. Concurrent with the Forum, the CFPB issued a Report on Consumer Pain Points in the Closing Process. MBA staff attended the Forum and participated in a CFPB-led Roundtable the following day. HUD Issues Mortgagee Letter on HECM Non-Borrowing SpousesHUD issued Mortgage Letter (ML) 2014-07 which amends FHA’s HECM program regulations and requirements concerning due and payable status where there is a Non-Borrowing Spouse at the time of loan closing. For case numbers issued on or after August 4, 2014, non-borrowing spouses will be able to remain in their homes and they will no longer need to refinance the HECM loan upon the death of the mortgagor. According to HUD it is using the authority granted to it in the Reverse Mortgage Stabilization Act of 2013 to immediately implement this policy change, but the agency intends to publish a rule for notice and comment that will revise its existing regulations to codify the changes made through this ML.

Topics: Buying a Restaurant Selling a Restaurant? Figure out if you Want the Real Deal or Facial Tissue. Brands Matter Posted by Robin Gagnon on Oct 24, 2019 1:33:43 PM Do brands matter when selling a restaurant? We think so, along with the 80,000 buyers in our database. Learn why brands matter when selling a restaurant. The ten most valuable brands in the world, according to Forbes, in order, are: Branding matters. It becomes such a part of the public consciousness that no one asks for a soda, they ask for a Coke or a Coca Cola. No one says, "Do you have a facial tissue?" They say, “Can you hand me a Kleenex?” According to Inc. Magazine contributor and the President of Uppercase Branding, Mike Pile, “a name is the most powerful and cost-effective communication tool there is.” He goes on to say that, “No marketing message will be used as widely or as frequently as the brand name. It is the single most profound form of business communication.” That takes us to We Sell Restaurants, our brand name. Our brand is descriptive. Our brand is successful. Our brand is part of a marketing engine that allows us to meet our vision to sell more restaurants than anyone else. PERIOD. The United States Patent and Trademark office agree with us. They granted to We Sell Restaurants, the ONLY authorized use of the term “We Sell Restaurants” for business brokerage in the principal registration of our Service Mark #4,663,265. Feel free to look it up. Does branding matter? It certainly does. Virtually every single month, we task our attorneys with sending “cease and desist” letters to other business brokers who want to “piggy-back” on our good name with social media hashtags under We Sell Restaurants, using our name on their home pages, copying our brand colors, our photos, and using it in descriptions of their services. Trust us. We’re flattered. But our customers are not fooled. They know there is only one brand selling more restaurants than anyone else. Here are just a few statistics. We Sell Restaurants is the most highly ranked name when searching restaurants for sale. That means anyone looking to buy a restaurant sees this powerful name first, not that of a “one-man” shop or someone with limited listing counts. We Sell Restaurants has a listing inventory or just at $150 Million Dollars. That makes us the largest in the world in terms of listing inventory. We Sell Restaurants has over 530 restaurants for sale, dwarfing any other brand in the nation. Those listings are active and available for sale. We do not “fluff” up our listing count by leaving sold listings in the mix. We Sell More Restaurants than anyone else. PERIOD. Our sold listings are published on our website (separately from our “available” listings) along with raving testimonials from our clients. We Sell Restaurants services 42 states nationwide. We are credentialed, licensed and national in reach, unlike other brands. We Sell Restaurants has more than 80,000 in buyers in our database and we send 6.4 Million emails per year on our inventory leading to more closed transactions. We Sell Restaurants educates our brokers with the longest training program in the industry.

Atlanta Restaurant Sales Are Trending Up - Sales Increased 4.18% over Last Year Posted by Robin Gagnon on Oct 1, 2019 10:31:59 AM The latest report from NetFinancials is out and they say that Atlanta restaurant sales volume increased 4.18% this year when measured against the same time frame in 2018. That's a fantastic result that We Sell Restaurants is excited to see. In addition to overall strong sales, the report shows the results are strong across the board. The positive sales growth was observed in 73% of the 102 independent Atlanta restaurants that are part of the quarterly survey conducted by the firm. They draw their data from 102 non-franchise restaurants in the market. The total volume covered by this report was $160 million for year to date 2019. It included Atlanta restaurants in all segments, fast-casual, casual and fine-dining open at least eighteen months. How does that compare? One of the best resources for tracking national restaurant sales data is TDn2K’s Black Box Intelligence. They reported that year to date sales on the national level are only .5% ahead of last year. That means Atlanta restaurant sales are far outperforming the national trend by a difference of more than 4 percentage points which indicates the health of the industry in this market. The same firm reported that national restaurant traffic counts remain in a decline. However, as We Sell Restaurants continues to interact with sellers, we see more and more market share shifting to delivery options like UberEats, DoorDash and similar models. For that reason, store traffic count reductions must be viewed through the lens of a dramatically changing consumer model who is ordering in versus dining in. The Black Box index is based on weekly sales from more than 170 brands that operate more than 31,000 locations and generate nearly $72 billion in annual sales. The president of NetFinancials, Lori Johnson, was quoted in the report saying, "The first quarter of 2019 saw a tremendous increase in sales due to the Atlanta Superbowl festivities. The national spotlight was on Atlanta and visitors were given the opportunity to experience the food culture locals love. Not surprisingly Q1 2019 saw an increase in sales at most restaurants surveyed, a startling 78%! Was all the increase attributed to the first quarter? No. The report goes on to state that second quarter sales were up 1.72% versus a national average of plus 1.0 percent. There continues to be growth in new restaurant openings in the Atlanta market along with ever increasing transactions for those buying and selling a restaurant from our database. The economy overall was strong in the market with NetFinancials further reporting job growth among the industry in June. They cite the addition of 9,000 new hospitality jobs in the market or more than 18% of the jobs added during the month. The table from the NetFinancials report is shown below. Eric Gagnon, president of We Sell Restaurants said of the latest results, "There is no doubt the entire hospitality industry received a strong boost from the Superbowl. We are glad to see that the trend for second quarter continues to outpace the national results. Our restaurant buyers and sellers continue to be bullish on results and are finding new opportunities each day."

__label__cc	0.525573	0.474427	Why Edward Snowden did what he did By DP Opinion Edward Snowden. (AP/The Guardian file photo) Re: “Edward Snowden is no hero,” Dec. 31 letters to the editor. Letter-writer Eugene Kozin could not have been more wrong when he wrote that Edward Snowden should have provided “information [about the National Security Agency spying on American citizens] to a member of Congress and particularly to the committee whose responsibility it is to oversee the agency.” Let me remind Mr. Kozin that Sen. Mark Udall is a member of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He has for months, if not years, pushed to release information on NSA spying on Americans and has not accomplished a single thing. This proves Snowden had no alternative. The facts clearly prove that the federal government persecutes and prosecutes people like Snowden and Chelsea Manning for telling the truth while simultaneously protecting liars and deceivers like U.S. intelligence director James Clapper and NSA director Keith Alexander. Phil Carney, Morrison This letter was published in the Jan. 2 edition. In a society where the greatest percentage are imprisoned, anyone can be tortured and held without trial indefinitely, and asset forfeiture laws seize property without due process, there is no doubt why Edward Snowden fled before disclosing the extent of the NSA’s unconstitutional violation of our rights. Terrorists can only kill a few. Only our own government can make all of us slaves, living in constant fear that we’ll be discovered in violation of one of the many laws we’ve never heard of, or we’ll be harassed by IRS audits for expressing unacceptable opinions. No terrorist threatens to grope my daughters. Only the TSA does that (and pilfers my luggage). As Pogo said, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” John R.

__label__wiki	0.543276	0.543276	Displaying items by tag: Kazakhstan The India-China Clash and the Expanded SCO By Stephen Blank October 16, 2017, the CACI Analyst The recent Indo-Chinese crisis over the Doklam area has been peacefully resolved for now, yet its repercussions risk spilling over to both South and Central Asia and beyond. The Doklam clash has demonstrated to China that it can no longer push India around, and India immediately registered that lesson in self-confidence by stating that it will play a larger role in Southeast Asia, another area where they both jostle for influence. Similarly, we can expect an expanded rivalry in Central Asia, not least within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) now that India and Pakistan are both members. Has the SCO Solved its Expansion Dilemmas? By Richard Weitz August 3, 2017, the CACI Analyst The June Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Astana marked the SCO’s first membership expansion since its creation in 2001. By finally ending this logjam, the SCO has raised expectations of continued enlargement and increased geopolitical weight. However, major obstacles to further growth persist; meanwhile, more members deepen the mutual tensions and rivalries within the institution. Revere or Reverse? Central Asia between Cyrillic and Latin Alphabets By Farkhod Tolipov June 6, 2017, the CACI Analyst In April this year, Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbaev made it clear that Kazakhstan intends to change from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet. Thereby, this country took a new step in the overall course of its post-Soviet development as an independent state. Kazakhstan became the third state in Central Asia after Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan that decided to undergo such a change. Kyrgyzstan will supposedly be the next country to move in the same direction. The change of alphabets was met with geopolitically saturated aversion in Russian political circles and media, in contrast to the relatively peaceful manner with which it is being introduced in the countries themselves. Central Asia: An Opportunity for the Trump Administration March 22, 2017, the CACI Analyst Central Asia has never ranked high on U.S. priorities. That is unlikely to change under the Trump Administration. Yet recent developments in Central Asia, particularly in Uzbekistan, do offer an opportunity to advance U.S. interests through a greater economic-political presence in the region, whilst also countering growing Chinese economic dominance and Russian efforts at military hegemony at a relatively low cost. The two key countries in this possible opportunity for the U.S. are Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Weaker Turkey leaves the South Caucasus without Strategic Anchor By Mamuka Tsereteli February 17, 2017, the CACI Analyst The weakening strategic position of Turkey will have a profound impact on the Black Sea-Caspian region and wider Central Asia. An assertive Russia and diminishing U.S. and Western engagement further limits Turkey's ability to play a pro-active role in the region. For regional actors in the South Caucasus, part of the solution should be to create the best possible conditions for transiting Asian cargos via Central Asia, the Caspian Sea, the South Caucasus corridor and the Black Sea to Bulgaria and Romania. This is how countries of the South Caucasus can bring new balancing powers to the region.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line92

Cahn in the 1950s (left, courtesy of Robert Cahn) and last week in Philadelphia (right, photo by Stu Borman/C&EN). He flew to Philadelphia from Washington state last week–his first time on the East Coast in about 22 years–to attend the ACS National Meeting. His aim was to speak with other scientists who might help support experiments he would like to do on the mechanism of action of naturally occurring herbs and dietary supplements with healing effects. Cahn believes the active ingredients in some of these natural products are DNA-intercalating agents and that such agents could represent an important source of new therapeutics. In the 1980s, while working as a research associate in a California lab, he helped develop genetically engineered bacteria that can detect DNA intercalating agents. Cahn earned a bachelor’s degree with high honors in biology and chemistry at Swarthmore College in the late 1950s and a Ph.D. in developmental biochemistry at Brandeis University in the early ’60s. His doctoral thesis–on characterizing the five different isozymes of lactic dehydrogenase–was considered an important finding at the time and “was published as the lead article in Science before I even got my Ph.D.,” Cahn says. For seven years in the late ’60s and early ’70s, Cahn was an assistant professor and then an associate professor with tenure in the zoology department of a major West Coast university, where he ran a biochemical embryology group. In part because of his strong liberal views–he advised students who wanted to resist the Vietnam War draft and permitted his research group to investigate the health effects of hashish–he ran into strong opposition from department administrators. He had also developed bipolar disorder and suffered from profound episodes of depression that impaired his job performance. As a result of these factors, the university terminated his employment in 1972, giving him severance of a year’s salary plus $6,000. By a year or so later, Cahn had become unable to support himself. For example, he notes that he applied for a job as a laboratory dishwasher but was turned down when the employer found out he was a Ph.D. biochemist. In desperation, he joined the Love Israel family, a Washington-state-based spiritual community, where he converted from his native Judaism to Christianity and changed his name legally to Abishai Israel. For 30 years, he was a gardener, tutor, and herbal medical adviser for the community. Cahn is still a member of the group, but he now lives alone. He currently supports himself on Social Security and disability benefits and by selling his own herbal perfume. In the mid-1980s, Cahn worked briefly as a research associate at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where he helped develop a genetically engineered bacterial strain that can be used to detect DNA-intercalating agents–the research he is trying to promote at this week’s ACS meeting. “Herbs don’t have these exquisite [chemical] structures to do nothing,” he says. If DNA intercalation “is a simple mechanism of healing, that would be nice to know.” Why after all these years and so many obstacles is he still trying to pursue his scientific research? “If your curiosity is gone, you’re dead,” Cahn says. “You die of boredom because you’re not onto anything. I’m onto something.” Subscribe to this author's posts feed via RSS Author: Carmen Drahl Robert D. Cahn Thank you Stu and Carmen this is wonderful!!! Dr. Robert D. Cahn Stu: I went to AGFD 237 and talked to Amit Vikarm, Texas A&M, College Station, Vegetable and Fruit Improvement Center. I asked mim if intercalation had been found to be a mechanism of action of any of his newly discovered limonoids and citrus bioflavonoids. He said basically that he had not done the work but that as far as he knew “no”. Then I left. As I had hobbled up the aisle to the door he ran after me and said “Do you have a card?”. I said “No, but I have something better” and handed him a black and white printout of my CEN blog. Then I left. Stay tuned!!! Abishai/RDC Pey-Lih I think this is wonderful that someone like Dr. Cahn is still in pursuit. I hope to hear more and what comes of this meeting. Joseph Israel We visited Dr Robert Cahn at the Swedish hospital in Edmonds Washington last Thursday and then yesterday learned of his passing, from his Daughter, Giving. Loved your article. noah israel Dr Abishia died yesterday surrounded by family and well Loved Lynn Sisley interesting no body called- everybody must’ve thought that everybody else thought to call me?.. Dec. 29th is marked the first day I felt my baby kicking!.. and smelling roses… he has been an extremely close dear friend of mine, and my son in his later years, when many felt his personality was difficult to adapt. He was writing memoirs and scientific materials- he wished for me to assist him with, and be his editor… wonder who will call me, first?.. Love, LM Sisley BTW- Dr. Cahn’s family never practiced Judaism… they were not religious. He used to joke that his father worshiped the president, whom he worked for, closely… Roosevelt. and he wanted to send my son to Swarthmore. When Allen said, “But Abi, I’m having a real hard time in algebra! How am I ever going to make into physics class?” Abi answered, “Math is not what matters most, Allen- (but I’ll help you with that) -what matters most, is- you only need to unconditonally-love and respect your mother, the one who gave you life.” ~hope you all enjoy in-joy my offerings, here. with Highest Love&Gratitude, =)(= Lynnie Marie To prevent spam please solve this simple math problem below: * Time limit is exhausted.

__label__cc	0.534463	0.465537	व्यापार्‍यांना राष्ट्रीय पेन्शन योजना कर्षण मिळविण्यात अपयशी ठरली – बिझिनेसलाईन The National Pension Scheme for Traders and Self-Employed Persons has failed to gain traction as only about 25,000 persons have opted for the scheme as against the government’s target to enrol 50 lakh by March-end. As per government data, only 84 traders and self-employed persons from Delhi have registered for the scheme so far, while 59 persons from Kerala, 54 from Himachal Pradesh, 29 from Jammu and Kashmir and two from Goa have registered. No one has registered for the scheme in Lakshadweep and Mizoram. Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of registrations with 6,765 persons, followed by Andhra Pradesh (4,781), Gujarat (2,915), Maharashtra (632), Bihar (583), Rajasthan (549), Tamil Nadu (309), Madhya Pradesh (305) and West Bengal (234). The National Pension Scheme for Traders and Self Employed Persons (Pradhan Mantri Laghu Vyapari Maan-dhan Yojana) is a voluntary and contribution based central sector scheme. The government launched the scheme, entailing monthly minimum assured pension of Rs 3,000 for the entry age group of 18-40 years after attaining the age of 60 years, with effect from July 22, 2019. Under the scheme, the government makes matching contribution in the subscribers’ account. Commenting on the lukewarm response to the scheme, Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said the entry age and the premium for the scheme should be raised to encourage more traders to join the scheme. “Rs 3,000 to be given after 30 years of paying premium will hardly have any value. Why have traders aged between 40 and 55 years been kept out of the scheme? The government can increase premium for this age group (40-55) instead of depriving them of the scheme’s benefits. These are two big drawbacks,” Khandelwal told PTI. He said the traders’ body had suggested to the government that a provident fund like provision be made whereby a fund is created out of the total tax paid by a trader throughout his/her life, out of which every trader can be paid monthly pension upon attaining the age of 60.

OPPI works to ensure that all Full and Candidate Registered Professional Planner (RPP) members adhere to a strict Professional Code of Practice. The understanding and implementation of this Code by our members is supported by a Standards of Practice program. Read more about each in the below sections. Professional Code of Practice Members of the Institute must practice in an ethical and responsible manner. The Professional Code of Practice forms the basis of planning practice by Members; it is enforceable through the disciplinary provisions of the OPPI By-law, as amended. In Ontario, all complaints regarding the conduct of the Members will be addressed by the OPPI Discipline Committee which shall have sole authority over the matter. Further, the Institute refers Members to the Statement of Values, which follows, as a source of inspiration and guidance for professional planners, and, as well, to the Standards of Practice. These should be read in conjunction with this Professional Code of Practice. In the event of conflict, the Professional Code of Practice shall prevail. Statement of Values: To respect and integrate the needs of future generations. Members recognize that their work has cumulative and long-term implications. When addressing short-term needs, members acknowledge the future needs of people, other species and their environments, and are to avoid committing resources that are irretrievable or irreplaceable. To overcome or compensate for jurisdictional limitations. Members understand that their work has a potential impact on many jurisdictions and interests. They must therefore practice in a holistic manner, recognizing the need to overcome the limitations of administrative boundaries. To value the natural and cultural environment. Members believe that both natural and cultural environments must be valued. They assume roles as stewards of these environments, balancing preservation with sustainable development. To recognize and react positively to uncertainty. Members believe that the long-term future is unpredictable and that adaptable and flexible responses to deal positively with this uncertainty must be developed. To respect diversity. Members respect and protect diversity in values, cultures, economics, ecosystems, built environments and distinct places. To balance the needs of communities and individuals. Members seek to balance the interests of communities with the interests of individuals, and recognize that communities include both geographic communities and communities of interest. To foster public participation. Members believe in meaningful public participation by all individuals and groups and seek to articulate the needs of those whose interests have not been represented. To articulate and communicate values. Members believe in applying these values explicitly to their work and communicating their importance to clients, employers, colleagues and the public. 1.0 The Planner's Responsibility to the Public Interest Members have a primary responsibility to define and serve the interests of the public. This requires the use of theories and techniques of planning that inform and structure debate, facilitate communication. and foster understanding. Accordingly, a Member shall: 1.1 practice in a manner that respects the diversity, needs, values and aspirations of the public and encourages discussion on these matters; 1.2 provide full, clear and accurate information on planning matters to decision makers and members of the public, while recognizing both the client's right to confidentiality and the importance of timely recommendations; 1.3 acknowledge the inter-related nature of planning decisions and their consequences for individuals, the natural and built environment, and the broader public interest; and 1.4 identify and promote opportunities for meaningful participation in the planning process to all interested parties. 2.0 The Planner's Responsibility to Clients and Employers Members must provide diligent. creative, independent, and competent performance of work in pursuit of the client's or employer's interest. Accordingly, a Member shall: 2.1 impart independent professional opinion to clients, employers, the public, and tribunals; 2.2 work with integrity and professionalism; 2.3 not perform work outside of his/her professional competence; 2.4 not neglect planning services which he/she has agreed to perform, nor render services without adequate preparation; 2.5 acknowledge the values held by the client or employer in work performed, unless such values conflict with other aspects of this Code; 2.6 respect the client or employer right to confidentiality of information gathered through a professional relationship; 2.7 inform the client or employer in the event of a conflict between the values or actions of the client or employer and those of this Code, in a timely manner; 2.8 ensure full disclosure to a client or employer of a possible conflict of interest arising from the Member's private or professional activities, in a timely manner; 2.9 inform all relevant parties and provide the Member's professional recommendation in situations that may adversely affect the public interest; 2.10 reject and not offer any financial or other inducements, including prospective employment, that could influence or affect professional opportunities or planning advice; 2.11 not as an employee of a public planning agency, give professional planning advice for compensation to a private client or employer within the jurisdiction of the public agency without written consent and disclosure to the agency; 2.12 not, as a consultant to a public planning agency during the period of contract with the agency, give professional planning advice for compensation to others within the jurisdiction of the agency without written consent and disclosure to the agency in situations where there is the possibility of a conflict of interest arising; 2.13 not, as a salaried employee of or consultant to any public planning agency, directly or indirectly advise the agency on the granting or refusal of an application which the Member has submitted or has an interest in to the agency; however, the Member may present the application; 2.14 not accept anything of value, or the promise of anything of value, including prospective employment, from any person when it could appear that the offer is made for the purpose of influencing the Member's actions as an advisor to a public planning agency; and 2.15 not, in order to obtain professional work, present himself/herself as, or permit himself/herself to be presented as, prepared to provide planning services where the quality of work is less than reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances. 3.0 The Planner's Responsibility to the Profession and Other Members The vitality and credibility of the planning profession and of the Institute are reflective of the quality of the Membership. To further the profession, Members will be expected to attain and maintain a high standard of professional competence and conduct, which extends to their relationship with other Members. Accordingly, Members shall: 3.1 take all reasonable steps to maintain their professional competence throughout their working lives and shall respect OPPI's continuing professional learning requirements as amended from time to time; 3.2 encourage healthy and constructive criticism about theory and practice of planning among colleagues and share the results of experience and research that contributes to the evolving body of planning knowledge; 3.3 maintain an appropriate awareness of contemporary planning philosophy, theory, and practice by seeking and receiving professional education throughout a planning career: 3.4 contribute to the professional education, mentoring, and development of planning students, Members, and other colleagues; 3.5 not in professional practice, extra-professional activities or private life, engage in dishonourable or questionable conduct that may cast doubt on the Member's professional competence or integrity or that may reflect adversely on the integrity of the profession; 3.6 ensure that advertising or promotional activities fairly and accurately communicate the expertise and skills offered; 3.7 advertise professional planning services in a manner that enhances the credibility of the profession; 3.8 accurately represent his or her professional qualifications and affiliations, education and experience, and those of colleagues; 3.9 act toward other Members and other colleagues in a spirit of fairness and consideration and not falsely or maliciously injure the professional reputation, prospects or practice of another Member and other colleagues; 3.10 respect the Member's colleagues in their professional capacity. and when evaluating the work of another Member, show objectivity and fairness and avoid ill-considered or uninformed criticism of the competence, conduct or advice of the Member; 3.11 not attempt to supplant another Member once the Planner has knowledge that definite steps have been taken toward the other's employment; 3.12 not sign or seal a final drawing, specification, plan, report or other document not actually prepared or checked by the Member; 3.13 not directly or indirectly discriminate against any person because of said person's race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability in any aspect of job recruitment, hiring, conditions of employment, training, advancement or termination of employment; 3.14 report to the Institute the behavior of any Member believed to be in breach of this Code; 3.15 not make public statements on behalf of the Institute's Members unless authorized to do so; 3.16 comply with any reasonable request of the Institute for information or for the co-operation of the Member in pursuit of any Institute objective; and 3.17 implement and give full effect to the disposition of any discipline proceeding affecting the Member.

Another was access to data about the incidence of photocopying {Page 56} and its impact, both real and perceived, on the activities of authors, publishers, and those seeking access to works of authorship. Two studies published in 1976 and 1977 provided most of the data that was utilized by the Commission for these purposes. Comprehensive quantitative data on the photocopying of copyrighted materials in the United States is provided by the 1977 report of King Research, lnc.,221 which was based primarily on sample surveys of photocopying conducted on supervised machines by public, academic, federal government, and special libraries.222 Records of 130,000 interlibrary loan transactions in 1976 in the Minnesota Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX), a network of libraries in Minnesota and surrounding states, supplemented the King Research survey sample.223 An advisory committee consisting of librarians, publishers, and government agency officials provided oversight for the project. Although the study has furnished the most comprehensive body of data on photocopying ever assembled in the United States, it did not cover every kind of photocopying of copyrighted materials. It excluded, for example: (1) copying in public and nonpublic elementary and secondary school libraries; (2) copying for classroom use in nonprofit educational institutions at all levels-elementary, secondary, and higher-unless the copying was performed by the library of the institution; (3) copying on unsupervised machines (including coin-operated machines in libraries and elsewhere in organizations); (4) copying by government agencies other than in their libraries; (5) copying by organizations other than libraries or in organizations in units other than the libraries, such as by business organizations without libraries or departments of educational institutions; and (6) copying by organizations selling copying services either as a major or incidental part of their operations, such as commercial photocopying services and “information brokers.”224 The overall volume of items of copyrighted materials estimated to have been copied by the four types of libraries sampled in the King study are shown in Table 2.225 Table 2 - Photocopying in Libraries from All Copyrighted Materials Millions of Photocopied Items (one or several pages) Type of Library Local Users1 Intrasystem Transactions1 Interlibrary Loan1 Total Copyrighted Materials Copyright Status Unknown1 NOTE: Due to rounding off of numbers, rows and columns may not add exactly. 1King study, Tables 3.13, 3.15, 3.17, and 3.19. An estimated total of 53.9 million items from copyrighted materials was copied on supervised machines in the twenty-two thousand libraries in the universe sampled. Of this total, 70 percent was copied from serials, 24 percent from books, and 6 percent from other copyrighted materials. The task of estimating what amount of this volume of copyrighted materials would be exempted under sections 107 and 108 of the 1976 Act and what amount would require authorization to copy is complicated by the fact that the contract for the King study came into effect in July 1976, three months before the new Copyright Act was enacted and its detailed provisions on photocopying were known. The data gathered, therefore, may not correspond exactly with the activities defined in the act. Nevertheless, some rough estimates may be drawn for the types of libraries included in the survey. This analysis is undertaken in the following sections, broken down into the three types of transactions, and then broken down in each case by type of library. Copying of Copyrighted U.S. Serials for Interlibrary Loan The King sample survey collected more detailed data concerning copying for interlibrary loan arrangements than for any other category.226{Page 57} Its data were supplemented and reinforced by the data on the 130,000 actual transactions in the MINITEX system. Table 3 contains the King study figures on the total volume of copying of U.S. copyrighted serials for inter-library loan and the alternative estimates of the volume of copying that would require authorization under section 108(g) (2) and the CONTU guidelines.227 Table 3 - Photocopying From U.S. Copyrighted Serials For Interlibrary Loan No. of Items Copied1 No. Exempt for Classroom Use, Replacement, and under 5 Copies per Title1 No. Needing Authorization w/o Time Limit (= col. 1 – col. 2)1 No. Needing Authorization w/ 5-year Time Limit1 1King study, Table 4.14 and p. 71. The King study data suggest that from 505,000 to 1,925,000 of the items from U.S. serials photocopied for interlibrary loan in 1976 would have required authorization from the copyright proprietor, had the provisions of the 1976 Act been applicable.228 To this number, however, must be added some portion of the 1,200,000 copies made from copyrighted books, of the 600,000 photocopies made from other copyrighted materials, and of the copies of foreign serials and materials for which copyright status was not reported. Appropriate deductions not from all of these categories must be made to take into account copying for classroom use and replacement. A portion of that copying may be exempted from copyright liability under sections 107 and 108. These figures in turn should be reduced by the number of single-page photocopied items made for interlibrary loan, which likely fall under the definition of fair use. Information on One-page and two-page items is available in the King study only for periodicals and other serials and not for books or other copyrighted material. That information indicates that 16 percent of the filled requests were for one page. If 16 percent is deducted from the figures in columns 3 and 4 of Table 3, the number of copies of domestic serial items photocopied for interlibrary loan and requiring authorization would be reduced to 420,000 copies for articles less than six years old and 1,621,000 copies of articles, irrespective of age. Photocopies Made for Local Use Copying for local use as defined in the King study includes copying by public library borrowers, students and faculty of colleges and universities, and employees of libraries and the institutions in which they are located, including corporate employees. The number of copies for local use will also include those permitted under the fair use provisions of section 107, which permit the making of one copy of an article or a small portion of other works for purposes of private study, scholarship, or research, as well as those permitted under the provisions of section 108(d). The King study provides no {Page 58} direct data on these types of exempted copying, but an approximation appears in Table 4, arrived at by distinguishing single and multiple copies and by applying estimates of the number of photocopied items consisting of but one page. Table 4 – Photocopying from All Copyrighted Serials for Local Use Conditions Affecting the Need for Authorization to Make Copies No. Copies Made from all Serials1 No. Copies Not Made for Replacement or Classroom Use2 No. of Single Copies3 No. of One-Page Items No. of copies Needing Authorization (col. 2 – col. 3 + 4) 1King study, Table 4.19. 2King study, Table 4.23; does not include 4,560,000 items for which the purpose of the request is unknown or unreported. 4Composed of an estimated 4.3 million in for-profit institutions and 3.6 million in nonprofit institutions. At first glance it appears that only some 5,100,000 photocopied items made for local patrons would require authorization. To this number must be added some portion of the 4,260,000 single items photocopied by libraries in profit organizations to take into account photocopies by those libraries that do not avail themselves of the benefits of section 108(d) because their collections are not open to the public or specialized researchers. Photocopies Made for Intrasystem Use The second-highest volume of copying of copyrighted materials in the types of libraries surveyed by King Research was for intrasystem loan. This volume was almost as great as copying for local patrons and more than twice as great as copying for interlibrary loan. Intrasystem loan was defined in the King study as “borrowing or lending of library materials carried on between branches or departments within the same library system as determined by common funding.” No definition was provided for library system, but a library was defined to include “both the central library/headquarters {Page 59} and the branch libraries/departments of your library system or archives.”229 The problem of estimating what portion of the intrasystem photocopying of copyright materials falls within fair use under section 107 or within the exceptions in section 108 is further complicated by the lack in either the 1976 Copyright Act or its legislative history of definitions of the terms library or archives. It is necessary to estimate what portion of intrasystem loan copies is governed by section 108(d) - single copies for patrons of articles or other small portions of copyrighted works - and what portion of the copies is governed by the limitations in section 108(g) (2) on copying for interlibrary loan. Presumably, Congress intended that individual instances of copying would fall under one or the other of these provisions, but not under both. The estimates made in the analysis which follows are based upon the assumption that copying for intrasystem use is copying within a libraryas that term is used in the statute. For example, it is assumed that a large city’s central or headquarters library and its numerous branches constitute one library, and, therefore, any library patron in that city may go to the headquarters or any branch to secure a single copy of an article from any periodical subscribed to by any library unit in that city-provided that the requests for the copies are isolated, unrelated, and not a part of a concerted or systematic scheme-without incurring liability to the copyright proprietor in accord with section 108(d). Conversely, securing such a copy would not count as an interlibrary loan under the provisions of section 108(g)(2) and the CONTU guidelines. The corollary of this interpretation is that if the periodical is not subscribed to by any unit in the city system, all requests for copies of articles made to any unit in the city which were met from sources not in the city system would count against the quota of five copies in the CONTU guidelines. This interpretation seems to fit best with usual library practice, wherein only requests for copies that cannot be met within a city system are counted as interlibrary loans. Table 5, which follows, applies this assumption in attempting to estimate what portion of the volume of photocopying shown in the King study as intrasystem use requires authorization. Table 5 – Photocopying From All Copyrighted Serials For Intrasystem Loan No. Copies from All Serials No. Copies for Replacement or Classroom Use1 No. Single Copies2 No. Copies Needing Authorization w/o Limit on Length (col. 1 – cols. 2+3) No. of copies Needing Authorization w/ One-Page Copies Exempt 2Donald King estimate, telephone conversation, December 22, 1977. An examination of Table 5 suggests that some 2,270,000 items copied for intrasystem loan would require authorization. To this number, however, should be added some portion of the 2,100,000 single copies made by special libraries, shown in column 3, to account for intrasystem copying by libraries in for-profit organizations that do not avail themselves of the privileges of section 108. Table 6 recapitulates estimates of the minimum number of items copied from copyrighted materials on unsupervised machines in libraries that would require consent of the copyright proprietor. {Page 60} Table 6 – Items Copied from Copyrighted Materials on Unsupervised Machines Source of Material From domestic serials under six years old Local use From serials only Intrasystem loan NOTE: The estimates in Table 6 are minimal because they do no include (1) copies for interlibrary loan made from serials over five years old, (2) single copies made for local use or intrasystem use in libraries in for-profit organizations which do not wish to make themselves eligible for the provisions of section 108, (3) copies made from books and other copyrighted materials, (4) issues of foreign serials copied for interlibrary loan, and (5) copies made in institutions not covered by the King study. Next section: Means of Obtaining Permission to Make Photocopies or to Obtain Authorized Copies under the 1976 Copyright Act 221 See note 194, supra. This study was conducted in 1976 and 1977 under contract with the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS), with additional financial support from the National Science Foundation and CONTU. Such a study was recommended in 1975 by the Conference on the Resolution of Copyright Issues, which consisted of representatives of producers and consumers of copyrighted materials under the joint chairmanship of Frederick Burkhardt, chairman of NCLIS, and Barbara Ringer, Register of Copyrights. 222 Special libraries generally are libraries other than public, school, federal, or academic. Included would be libraries located in business corporations, trade associations, law firms, museums, hospitals, etc. 223 The MINITEX records constituted the only existing comprehensive data on interlibrary loan transactions for an entire year. 224 See this chapter under Secondary Suppliers of Authorized Copyright-Fee-Paid Copies. 225 The volumes of photocopying discussed in the following section may be significantly smaller than the estimated volumes which would have resulted from a more comprehensive survey covering the exemptions noted above. Such a survey would probably have been precluded by such factors as cost, available time, and lack of adequate statistical universes (mailing lists). 226 The definition of a serial used in the King study. supra note 194, p. ix, is: “A publication issued in successive parts bearing numerical or chronological designations, which is intended to be continued indefinitely and which may be identified by an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number). Serials include periodicals, newspapers, and the journals, memoirs, proceedings, transactions, etc., of societies. Serials are subject to subscription prices paid in advance. (This eliminates publications that appear annually or less frequently.)” 227 The King study provides no similar breakdown for books or other copyrighted materials, nor for serials not published in the United States. 228 The total figure would depend on how articles from journals over five years old - those not covered by the CONTU guidelines-were treated. 229 King study, supra note 194, pp. viii, 216.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line113

A year after director Yeon Sang-ho stated he was working on a sequel, it appears it’s already been wrapped and could be hitting screens overseas this summer, according to Bloody Disgusting. RELATED: New Line Wins Bidding War for American Train to Busan Remake Not much is currently known about the film’s cast or if Park Joo-suk is returning to script the follow-up entitled Peninsula, but the synopsis currently reads: “The film will revisit the same zombie virus that was seen in the original movie, except this time the focus will be expanded to the entire Korean peninsula.” The distribution company has reportedly set a release date in its home country for an August 12, 2020 release date, while no plans have currently been set for its international release. Train to Busan was directed by Sang-ho and followed the story of a workaholic businessman and father who accompanies his doe-eyed daughter on the titular train ride to see her mother at the very same time that a malevolent virus breaks out, turning the populace into ravenous, milk-eyed ghouls. When one of those blood-sucking zombies gets on the train, Hell is unleashed and the father must team up with a gaggle of survivors to fight the dead and protect his child. RELATED: New Trailer For Bong Joon-Ho’s Parasite Released Train to Busan set the box office ablaze across Asia, smashed box office records in South Korea and became the biggest Korean film of all time, stars Gong Yoo (The Age of Shadows), Jung Yu-mi (Manhole), Ma Dong-seok (Along With the Gods: The Last 49 Days ), Choi Woo-sik (Big Match.

__label__wiki	0.925413	0.925413	Home » Destiny 2 is Coming and We are Very Excited! PC gamesPlaystation 4Xbox One Destiny 2 is Coming and We are Very Excited! by Guest Writer August 7, 2017 by Guest Writer August 7, 2017 0 comment By: Uncle Badger Destiny fans, rejoice! Destiny 2, the sequel to Bungie’s wildly popular shared world shooter, is finally launching this fall (September 6). If you’re like me, a massive fan of Destiny 1, you’re most likely losing your mind. But, if you’ve somehow missed out on the original Destiny, here’s a quick primer: Destiny is an online multiplayer first person shooting game. While it shares many similarities to MMOs (for example, players inhabit a shared world and are required to be online at all times), developers describe it as a “shared world shooter”. It’s a distinction that, at first blush, seems not to describe something entirely different, but after a couple hours in the Destiny universe, it becomes clear that the game has really carved out a unique space that warrants the distinction. In the world of Destiny set far into the future, an extraterrestrial traveler has empowered human beings with extraordinary powers which we then use to defend ourselves and this traveler against “the darkness” aka evil aliens. Players can select one of three character classes; Hunter, Titan, or Warlock – and employ a vast array of weapons and armors in various quests and adventures to keep the planets safe from various enemy hordes. Destiny made a name for itself not only with fantastic gunplay upon which the game is centered, but also with a deep and expansive lore. Additionally, the game is highly social, particularly when it comes to endgame content like raids or special in-game events. Still with me? Great. The original Destiny didn’t quite feel like an MMO but didn’t exactly feel like a pure FPS either and, overtime, “Shared World Shooter” became less of an in-house descriptor and more of a legitimate genre. By all accounts, Destiny 2 is looking to build on that new genre with improved gunplay, more expansive shared play spaces, and, of course, TONS OF LOOT! In terms of story, Destiny 2 couldn’t be more compelling. Set one year after the events of Destiny: Rise of Iron, the Red Legion faction of the Cabal, led by their emperor, Dominus Ghaul, attack The Last City. Ghaul, believing that he deserves the power of the Light, succeeds in stripping the Guardians of their powers and destroying the Tower. Scattered and powerless, the Guardians must acquire new powers to face Ghaul and the Red Legion. Unlike the original game which had its lore hidden apart from the game in online ”Grimoire Cards” players had to access through a separate website (yikes), Destiny 2 promises much needed story improvements. At launch, the game will be boasting over 50 cut scenes which is slightly more than Destiny 1 even including all its expansions. Additionally, Bungie has confirmed that those loathsome Grimoire Cards are no more – 100% of the story will be told in the game itself. Huzzah! Destiny 2 brings back all three characters classes from the original game, but with new skills and abilities. Specifically, each of the subclasses for the Titan, Warlock, and Hunter classes have been overhauled. The Titan The Titan’s defender subclass known primarily for its defensive bubble has been reworked considerably. The “bubble” is still an option, but now alongside that is the option to run a defender with a throwable, slammable void shield – think Captain America. The Striker subclass super ability has been changed as well from a single powerful slam to a roaming series of slams, each leaving behind a damaging field of arc energy. The nova bomb from the warlock’s subclass has been enlarged considerably and now splits into smaller projectiles upon impact. The much beloved Sunsinger subclass has ditched the self-resurrection ability in favor of a new super called Dawn Blade. It functions very much like the Titan’s Hammers from Destiny 1. Lastly, the hunter’s Golden Gun has been nerfed a bit, no longer guaranteeing a kill with each shot. To balance this, the length of the super has been extended, offering more shots per super. And the hunter arc subclass has an entirely new super – Arc Strider – think Blade Dancer from Destiny one but a bit more agile and with a polearm instead of daggers. Each of the character classes will launch with two subclass instead of the three you might be used to from Destiny 1. And while Bungie has played coy when asked if all three classes will be returning, it’s safe to say that they’ll all be making a comeback at some point after launch. Overall, gunplay seems relatively unchanged from Destiny 1, and that’s a good thing. Nevertheless, the small improvements are noticeable as the gunplay feels as if it’s grown up a bit. The way Destiny 2 is setting up weapons is somewhat confusing. There are still three slots, but the first two are now “Kinetic” and “Energy.” Gone are the primary, secondary, and heavy weapon designations. This means that weapons like sidearms are now primaries and can be either elemental (energy) or non-elemental (kinetic), and old favorites like snipers, shotguns, and fusion rifles are now classed with rocket launchers. Like I said, it’s a little confusing. I’m sure we’ll get used to it. Overall, Destiny 2 is looking to build on the success of its predecessor by doubling down on excellent gameplay and expanding the already rich mythos of the Destiny universe. And, of course, there will be a ton of loot! Destiny 2 launches worldwide on September 6, 2017, for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. The PC version is set to launch later on October 24.

__label__wiki	0.539612	0.539612	Euro 2016 Qualifier Picks 2015 (September 3-5) There are two Rounds of the European Championship Qualifiers which will be played over the next few days and I will split up the picks into two different posts. You can read a recap of the last weekend Premier League football that I wrote here. The next two Rounds of the Qualifiers are going to start seeing some nations booking their places in France for next summer, but will also begin to create a clearer picture as to those that are ready to join them after the October Qualifiers. It is also an important time for teams like the Netherlands who have had a poor year to try and get into a position to work their way into the top two places in their Group. England should have qualified after their second game next week, but the likes of Wales, Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland will be hoping to join them in France and will all know where they stand. Wales and Northern Ireland look best placed for automatic places along with England, while Scotland and Republic of Ireland could be fighting it out for the one Play Off spot in their Group behind Germany and Poland. Scotland have two big fixtures this week and can't afford to begin by slipping up in Georgia, while the Republic of Ireland have their two 'easiest' games remaining in the next few days. All five of the British and Irish nations have winnable away fixtures in the first round of games this week and all should be coming away with the three points to move a step closer to their goals. However, next week are some much tougher games for the likes of Scotland and Northern Ireland to deal with so they have to make hay this week and ensure they go in with three points earned. Belgium v Bosnia & Herzegovina Pick: After earning two points from the first four games, Bosnia & Herzegovina looked to have suffered a hangover from their World Cup adventure which was going to cost them a place in the European Championships in 2016. They have won their last couple of games in the Group to put themselves back in contention in the section, especially for the Play Off, but any chance of a top two finish would be eliminated if they fail to win in Belgium on Thursday. I can't see Bosnia having enough to be the first team to beat Belgium since September 2010 and there looks to be too much firepower for them in this game. Belgium are still trying to make sure they stay ahead of the likes of Israel and Cyprus who have gathered behind them after a surprising 1-0 loss in Wales, but Belgium have won 2 of their 3 home games in the Group and have yet to concede a goal. The pressure is on Bosnia to try and get a result in this one, but I think Belgium have the players to pick them off on the counter if they begin to chase the game. Belgium are the better team and I think they hang onto Wales at the top of their section and hold off Israel for another round of games in the second of the automatic promotion positions. Turkey v Latvia Pick: There is little room for error from Turkey if they want to make their way into the European Championship, but they have three home games remaining and their destiny remains in their own hands. This is the 'easiest' of the remaining games, but Turkey host the Netherlands and Iceland as well as travelling to the Czech Republic and are currently just 2 points behind Holland in the Play Off spots. They can't afford to drop points here and I think Turkey will prove too good for Latvia despite playing two high-scoring draws against them the last two times they have hosted them. Any underestimation of Latvia could cost Turkey, but they should be focused knowing this side earned a 1-1 draw at the Czech Republic in this Group. That is two dropped points that could cost Czech Republic one of the top two positions in the Group and it would be fatal to Turkey's chances of qualifying if they didn't win the game. Aside from that result in the Czech Republic, Latvia have lost a lot of their away games in recent years and they aren't the best travellers. They don't often lose heavily, but it does happen and Turkey will be looking for the goals that can give them the momentum to take into their next three huge qualifiers and I think they win this by a couple of goals. Georgia v Scotland Pick: If there is any real ambition from Scotland to finish in the top two spots in the Group, they have to win this game in Georgia and stay with Germany and Poland who play one another on the same day. A failure to win here would mean Scotland having to beat Germany at home next week, and I can't imagine there would be too many rushing to back that happening. Win and Scotland's home game against Poland next month is likely to be critical for them in trying to overturn their positions and earn an automatic spot in France next summer. Georgia have been beaten by Germany, Poland and the Republic of Ireland so Scotland have to follow suit, but it won't be easy and the 1-0 home win over Georgia should tell all the players that. They have lost 5 of their last 6 home gams in the Qualifiers and isn't just the big nations that have won here as Finland did in the last set of Qualifiers for the World Cup and Ireland have won here in this Group. Scotland were beaten 2-0 in their only previous visit here, but Gordon Strachan has got his side scoring goals on their travels and that might be key. It will be a close match, but Scotland winning at odds against is the call. Germany v Poland Pick: I do think Germany have struggled under the expectation since winning the World Cup, while some of the players might have also felt they have achieved their biggest goal and perhaps rested on their laurels a little. That contributed to a poor start in their Euro 2016 Qualifying Group, but Germany looked to have turned things around and have to be favoured to earn one of the top two automatic qualifying spots. However, that could all change if Germany fail to beat Poland on Friday ahead of a difficult test in Scotland next week, especially if the Scots have won in Georgia earlier in the day. An easy home win over Gibraltar was expected, but Germany have been pushed by both Scotland and the Republic of Ireland in home Qualifiers last year, although those came soon after winning the World Cup. This time around the players should be more rested having a proper pre-season behind them and I expect Germany will turn on the style. You don't want to dismiss Poland out of hand as the only unbeaten team in this Group, but they have negotiated a pretty nice set of fixtures and their hardest games are perhaps yet to come. The win at home over Germany was impressive, but away games in Germany and Scotland will determine whether Poland are able to earn an automatic spot in France for next summer. The late equaliser from Shane Long in Poland's away game in Ireland might be the damaging two points lost, but this is a nation that will look to be hard to beat on Friday and try to agitate the crowd. If they can hold Germany at bay early, the home team will begin to feel the pressure, but I think the summer break aids the Germans compared with last summer and they can win this game by a couple of goals. However, Germany might be more concerned about making sure they get the job done on Friday by any means necessary which means focus in defence and I will back them to win this with a clean sheet. Gibraltar v Republic of Ireland Pick: You never know how important goal difference is going to be for the Republic of Ireland and Scotland and both of those nations have to look at the away game at Gibraltar as the chance to improve on that front. Both Poland and Germany have large leads on the goal difference front so you have to think the Republic of Ireland produce an attacking performance in Gibraltar to try and bridge that gap. It won't be easy because Gibraltar will look to make life as difficult as possible for as long as possible, but both Germany and Poland have come here and scored seven goals and the Republic of Ireland did hit seven at home against them. There is a lot of hard working players in the Ireland squad though and they need a little more creativity now they are missing Aiden McGeady, but Martin O'Neill should have enough quality to secure a comfortable win ahead of the home game with Georgia. These next two games are essential for Ireland to win well to give them some confidence to take into their last two games against Germany and Poland as the team looks to get back on level terms with the teams above them. I would expect Ireland are capable of scoring at least five goals here and there is every chance they get a couple more than that so they look a decent shout to cover the Asian Handicap. San Marino v England Pick: San Marino are going to try and make life difficult for England as they did at Wembley Stadium for large periods, but anything other than a comfortable away win would be a huge surprise. There is enough pace in the England team to unlock San Marino and they could book their place at France 2016 with a win while Wayne Rooney will be looking for the two goals to surpass Bobby Charlton as the top English goalscorer. I won't be surprised if the latter happens and England have found it easier to play their football in San Marino than at home in the past with their two highest goalscoring results coming in the away games. That might have something to do with the pressure of 80,000 people expecting England to score lots of goals and their three previous home wins have come by 6-0, 5-0 and 5-0 scores. On the other hand, the two away wins came with 1-7 and 0-8 scores and England can play with a lot of freedom while some players can put a decent goalscoring mark on the record in a game like this. England were 0-5 up by half time when they visited San Marino in 2013 and I think they are going to record a routine win and they should be able to cover this Handicap mark. Ukraine v Belarus Pick: This is a big game for the Ukraine to try and stay on the coattails of both Spain and Slovakia above them and they can make a move in the Group knowing those two nations are playing one another. They can't take anything for granted against Belarus, especially with the expectation that the crowd will place on them, but Ukraine have to take their time and wear down their visitors. It has been a poor section for Belarus who might have expected to challenge for a Play Off place at the very least, but their four points have come in away games in Macedonia and Luxembourg. However, Belarus did lose all 4 away games in the World Cup Qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup and Ukraine should have enough about them to win this game. Ukraine might be looking ahead to what could be a vital Qualifier in Slovakia next week, but their focus has to be on the task at hand or that game might not mean as much as they would like it to. They have to avenge the home loss to Slovakia to have a chance to finish in the top two in the Group, but that will only matter if they can beat Belarus on Saturday. It'll be far from easy for Ukraine, but Belarus might not have the fight that the home team have with qualification almost gone for them and I expect Ukraine to win this by a couple of goals and use that momentum to travel to Slovakia next week. Spain v Slovakia Pick: Ukraine have kept the pressure up on Spain in 2nd place in the Group and they might have pulled level with the Spaniards by the time this game kicks off on Saturday evening. With a visit to the Ukraine to come in the final two Qualifiers next month, Spain will know they need to win their remaining two home games to make sure they don't need to be involved in a Play Off for a place in France next summer. I do think Spain will have enough quality to do that even if they are not as good as the teams that won the European Championship twice and the World Cup from 2008 to 2012. They have won their 3 home games in the Group and Spain will likely see Slovakia relying on the counter attack in this game so it will be about the home team breaking them down. Slovakia may also be playing the long game knowing they have a 'bigger' game with the Ukraine just days later, a game that could be the key to automatic qualification. Avoiding defeat in one of their next two games will give Slovakia a real edge to finish in the top two knowing Ukraine and Spain will be playing one another next month and that might be the mindset as they visit Spain. If Spain get in front, Slovakia could start thinking about the next game at home against Ukraine and I think that could allow the Spanish team to earn revenge for their loss in Zilina. That distraction may also allow Spain to win this one by a couple of goals and clear the handicap.

__label__cc	0.509232	0.490768	Cultivating Mushrooms the GroCycle Way REGENERATIVE QUALITIES OF GROCYCLE In Right Relationship / Innovative & Adaptable / Robust Circulatory Flow Adam Sayner (right) and Eric Jong of Totnes, England-based GroCycle explain how their ingeniously regenerative business model for cultivating mushrooms — piggybacking off the role mushrooms play as extraordinary providers of ecosystem services and utilizing the waste streams of coffee shops and breweries — could one day be a means for producing this protein-rich food at low cost in urban centers throughout the world. LISTEN TO OUR "CONVERSATIONS IN THE FIELD" PODCAST WITH ADAM AND ERIC Adam Sayner’s love of mushrooms dates back seven years to a hobby he took up while attending the University of Sussex, when he began foraging wild mushrooms in the surrounding Devon countryside. When the foraging season ended, he followed his nascent passion and began cultivating them indoors. After university, Adam established a small, thriving business supplying mushrooms to local restaurants around Totnes, home of Schumacher College and the “cradle” of the now-famed Transition Network movement. In 2012 Eric Jong, a native of Holland and former employee at ExxonMobil and EDF Energy, joined him in this mushrooming enterprise. Eric had decided to embark on an alternative course, to be "part of the solution," studying sustainable horticulture at Schumacher College. Adam began by cultivating mushrooms the traditional way, using straw, a compost mix, or woodchip sawdust, all of which require careful sterilization before they can be used as substrate. Searching for a way to reduce the cost and energy consumed in the cultivation process, he lit upon the idea of using as substrate coffee grounds that were otherwise discarded as waste by the proliferating coffee shops of Totnes. “Energy was already being expensed to sterilize the coffee grounds in the cafe's espresso machine,” Adam reports. “So cultivating the mushrooms with coffee grounds eliminates a lot of the energy input that would otherwise be required to sterilize the substrate. It makes it a lot easier for people to set up without a huge investment, which is part of our long-term vision of wanting to replicate this on a small scale all over the world.” Adam and Eric now operate GroCycle, a Community Interest Company that sells DIY gourmet oyster mushroom kits for the home cultivator. The Community Interest Company corporate form was created in the UK under the Companies Act of 2004 to recognize for-profit companies that have a stated purpose beyond profit. Enterprise owners can make up to £60,000 per annum without challenge; beyond that amount they must seek justification for their compensation from regulators. “We are not surviving off grants and donations,” Eric explains, “we are aiming to be a business, but all the profit we make must go into our social and environmental aims.” GroCycle also operates a vertical urban mushroom farm in an abandoned office building in downtown Exeter. Taking their exploitation of what would otherwise be waste streams even further, they are now growing their own mushroom seed [spawn] from the spent grains and hops collected from local breweries. We learned from Adam and Eric how GroCycle’s business model piggybacks on the extraordinary ecosystem services that mushrooms provide: “What mushrooms do in nature, and have spent millions of years evolving to do, is to break down and reuse complex materials that otherwise we have no use for,” Adam explains. “The role they play is fundamentally to recycle nutrients back into nature. For example when a tree falls in a forest the fungi break that complex wood down so that it can be consumed by other creatures and then recycled back into the food chain. That is really what we are doing here, the coffee is the material we are breaking down and turning into food and compost again.” Most recently, Adam and Eric began offering their services to Green Shoots, a local not-for-profit, training prison inmates at HMP Dartmoor in their innovative mushroom cultivation techniques. They also have plans to offer an online tool that will allow them to share their knowledge with a growing international network eager to grow these protein- and vitamin-rich, ecosystem service providers, for food, fun, and profit…the regenerative way. “We realize the strength in connecting with other people,” says Eric, “and at the moment we are talking to other mushroom growers on the continent to share ideas.” As the price of meat continues to rise, the demand for alternative, protein-rich food sources like mushrooms are expected to rise in tandem. “The limitations of this growing system is that you need to use the coffee grounds when they are very fresh and coffee shops are proliferating in almost every urban centre. So it is a natural fit for growing a localist urban food system," says Adam. "In the end, hopefully there will be a repurposed building in every city in the world growing mushrooms this way.” To find out more about cultivating mushrooms the GroCycle way, contact Eric Jong (left) and Adam Sayner at Hello@grocycle.com "Conversations in the Field" with Adam Sayner and Eric Jong: Please share your comments on GROCYCLE here:	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line146

They paid their own room and board. Their alternative spring break was no feel-good trip to paint a church or school then spend the rest of the time relaxing. They prayed, studied the scriptures, and set out with determination for long days in the coalfields of Appalachia. Their tools were clipboards and pens, plus fingertip pulse oximeters and spirometers that they’d been trained to use. Student Volunteers Organize for Appalachian Health Surveys On this third year of health surveying with the nonprofit Christian group called Restoring Eden, students went beyond asking people and households about their health. They gathered real-time health data in the field about blood oxygen levels and pulmonary function so scientists can get a better picture of community health near mountaintop removal mining. No matter who you talk to in the coalfields these days, sickness is the new norm. Everybody knows somebody with cancer or heart disease, all the kids know what an inhaler is, and studies show birth defects are more prevalent than in other communities. In the second year of health surveys, the group found an unusually high rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease being reported. Organizer and evangelical minister Rev. Peter Illyn with Restoring Eden said, “the question we’re trying to ask is, ‘is living close to open strip mines causing greater lung illness and lung damage?’ We’re trying to find the science that demonstrates this is unhealthy to communities.” Alex Garrish volunteered for this unconventional spring break from Samford University in Alabama. She was astonished at what the devices revealed. “To see some of the numbers, the age of people’s lungs and their pulse rates and their oxygen levels, to see how their health has been affected negatively…later on the data can be used to show the ways people are suffering in quantifiable ways.” Tessa Davis came from Anderson University in Indiana. “There was a time when we were interviewing a coal miner and he had soot all over his face. And I see his face. And I just thought it was surreal seeing it all over him…and just writing down some of the ways his own health was affected and some of those who live in his house were affected, it was kind of heartbreaking in a way because we see the physicality of it all. It’s so real and so I think that was pretty shocking for me.” Wesley Rieth had traveled from Hope College in Michigan. As a student of both political science and environmental studies, he’s also interested in how people’s lives are affected. “I think this is really important work, from a policy standpoint, from an economic standpoint, down to the level that we’re looking at which is impacting people’s livelihood and their health.” Sarah Yonts from Carson-Newman University in Tennessee shared, “what this trip means is really a hope for the community.” The student volunteers worked in small groups, traveling from house to house, sometimes stopping to pray for those whose lives they’d touched for just a short while. Sometimes, the reality of why they’d been called to this unusual mission work hit too close. Some students related that in revisiting houses to conduct more surveys, they were told that a toddler who’d struggled his whole life with a heart problem, had recently died. Mountaintop Removal Mining near Black Mountain in Virginia Volunteers and a few staff on a limited budget have been working to bring health survey information to the public and policy makers. Meanwhile, a well-funded energy industry research group called the Appalachian Research Initiative for Environmental Science or ARIES is also hard at work. Its industry researchers caution against trying to link mining as a cause of community health problems, and it has publicly refuted independent research that shows health differences in communities near MTR and those farther away from it. ARIES spokesman John Craynon stressed to FlourSackMama.com “No one wants to see impacts on babies or anybody, actually. I think we all value human life and the quality of human life.” Craynon talked about a balanced approach and went on to say about his energy clients, “if they need to change the way they do business, that’s what they’re committed to.” Christians for the Mountains spokesman Rev. Robert Sage Phillip Russo has been advocating for coalfield residents for several years. While scientists crunch the numbers that come in from health surveys, Russo stresses that there’s long been a pattern of people getting sicker and sicker in areas near mountaintop removal mining. “We’ve heard it said that it’s okay for an area to be a sacrifice zone for the nation’s energy. We say it’s not okay for the land to be used as a sacrifice zone and it’s not okay for people to be used as sacrifice for the nation’s energy. We’ve got to care for them as whole people.” Russo say faith motivates him to want to help. “We really hope that people would be recognized for who they are that live here. That people in Congress and industry say, ‘oh, there’s people here and these are the effects.'” Are you connected to MTR?

It’s unclear whether she worked in better conditions than contemporary correspondents. Photo: Lee Miller Archives. Working conditions for Macedonian journalists are bad; this topic has already been absolved. But the working conditions for Macedonian correspondents can be described with only one word – impossible! It is simply impossible to provide good, quality, professional work if you are reduced to status of a hireling drifting between media outlets. And all this, in most cases, is part-time, which is euphemism for illegal work. Written by: Tamara Causidis What do you think, how free, brave, and without compromises can be the work of a journalist receiving a monthly pay of MKD 4.000 (USD 84 or EUR 65)? What do you think about the degree of pride and dignity of that journalist, who is forced to “return” MKD 1.700 (USD 36 or EUR 26) out of that sum to the owner of his local media, because the journalist sent news to a national outlet by using a camera and footage from the local one? Because the local owner owns both the camera, the footage and the cameraman, but also the souls and dignity of his employees. Have you considered the quality of the work of a journalist who is forced to produce eight news items during a single day so he can earn a minimal pay? How many times can this person check the facts, how fast can he prepare his material when in one day s/he has to cover government subsidies, illegal construction and a film festival? Does this photo-robot of a Macedonian correspondent from the interior shock you? You did not know or you did not want to know? On the other hand, many people keep criticizing the quality of the news items, and the quality of journalism in Macedonia. Working conditions for Macedonian journalists are bad; this topic has already been absolved. But the working conditions for Macedonian correspondents can be described with only one word – impossible! It is simply impossible to provide good, quality, professional work if you are reduced to status of a hireling drifting between media outlets. And all this, in most cases, is part-time, which is euphemism for illegal work. Without a contract, without pension benefits, without any kind of guarantee against receiving an e-mail or telephone message, informing you that your services are no longer required. You are no longer required because the media you work for decided to save money, so they start from your meager honoraria. You may be no longer needed because a local strongman did not like your reporting, or because some ambitious unknown person who treats journalism as a hobby decided to offer more and cheaper contents. The reasons can vary, but the outcome is always the same. Losing a job, even when expected and announced in advance, is a terrible stress. Some people compare it with stress from losing a loved one. Even the law stipulates a lengthy procedure that must be implemented with termination of working relationship. People need time to adapt, to deal with the new situation. And they require all this under conditions of regular employment. When regular employment is lacking, than journalists they live with this stress every day. And have to work with this level of stress. But, the problem with journalists is that their work is not mechanical, it cannot be automated, they create, they witness, and they serve as the eyes, the ears and the voice of the public. Have you wondered why that voice is incapacitated? And sometimes hysterical? Listen to the journalists talking about their working conditions and you’ll wonder no more. Listen to the correspondents, give voice to those people who know the ground better than any of the great names of journalism from Skopje. The correspondents know all about the strongmen and grey eminences (éminence grise) in their local communities, they know where the information is coming from and where to look for it, if they can only do their job with dignity, with decent salaries and without ever-present fear of joblessness. Only in this way, instead of narrowed and disoriented, Macedonia may receive informed and articulated journalistic voice from the interior.

__label__cc	0.578434	0.421566	FreeNews English FAS considers feasible the abolition of roaming within the network in Russia within 14 days MOSCOW, July 24. /TASS/. A two-week period in which mobile operators are required to align tariffs for in-network roaming in Russia, is optimal and feasible. On Monday the head of the control and IT communication of the Federal Antimonopoly service (FAS) of Russia Elena zaeva in an interview with “Kommersant FM”. “We have documents showing that the operators have changed the tariffs for its services during this time. From documents it is visible that the decision on change of tariffs throughout the country the operator implements in two weeks when they were introduced or changed rates,” she said. According to Seavoy, a warning and a requirement in the warning, the FAS to the mobile operators should not be a surprise to them. “When we determined the period of 14 days, we were guided primarily by the fact that the operators knew about our requirements, starting November of 2016, when launched our working group. We have advanced exactly the same requirements as now,” she explained. Earlier the cellular operator “the Megaphone” has declared that considers the requirement of FAS for the alignment of tariffs in intra-network roaming in Russia for two weeks is not feasible and ready in the future, if necessary, to appeal against possible claims of the regulator in court. The Federal Antimonopoly service of the Russian Federation issued a warning to “the big four” mobile operators (Beeline, MTS, MegaFon, Tele2) equalization rates in national roaming and demands to change them within 14 days. The head of Antimonopoly service Igor Artemyev in an interview with TASS said that the Agency will seek cancellation of roaming in Russia. There are now national and on-net roaming, and a separate roaming in the Crimea. Intranet roaming is valid within one network on the territory of the whole country and different regions. National roaming is valid when the network provider is not in any region.

The music was fun, and, thank you very much, no silly "British" accents done badly by Americans. Game play was brisk and interesting, and the hint system worked nicely when I came up against a challenge I couldn't figure out. The graphics, unfortunately, were nothing special, and I got seriously irritated when I realized that if you send up the wood without first using it to break the mirror, you'll be unable to progress--and the game allows you to do this. That seems to me to be poorly thought-out. If it stopped you at the Library door if you don't have a mirror (and the door is laughably easy to figure out even without one), that would be better. Still better than that would be to have something else, like, say, a stone or a piece of masonry like the kind lying around in every frame, as the mirror-breaker. Aside from those issues, I really enjoyed this one. The clever reference to Coca-Cola's original use as a stomach remedy (not to mention its unexpected usefulness as a cleaning agent--no, really, it works) also rather tickled me, as a collector of unusual trivia.

Storyline is in cartoon form, creative, imaginative, humorous, refreshing, and a real change from the doom and gloom and occult. I didn't want to stop playing once I started it. Would make a lovely family game. It is the type of game that makes you feel good with a happy ending! The graphics were excellent and I loved the facial features on the characters. There is a lot of dialogue to read. Not sure if adding voice choice would be good or bad. The two character role playing and interaction was very enjoyable and the method of communication between the two was sheer genius. Characters and dialogue kept me in stitches it is so humorous. Unique characters. Cartoon quality of Cinderella. With beautiful and imaginative graphics. The puzzles went from easy to challenging! Very creative. The hint system was glorious - you could get as much information as you wanted - more companies should do this. No running to walk through or strategy guides this way! Very reasonably priced for this quality game and I look forward to Orchids second offering. Had a lovely ending! I'm a reader so the amount of dialogue with humor did not bother me. I have had games that go on and on that do drive me nuts and ruin it. So the designers will have to watch this on the next one. It ended - can't wait to see these two perhaps plan a wedding and go on more adventures together! Agree with your review all the way through. As for my idea, II sorta conjectured that perhaps their two Royal fathers cooked the whole thing up to bring their proud, irascible children together so I'd like to see a sequel to see if I'm right, plus to take part in the revenge of the Librarian and the Alchemist on the Bad Guy. Very enjoyable, light-hearted play and a very nice change on dark HOG games. Sablesshadow by Sablesshadow on Sep 26, 10 7:00 AM What a terrific game. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and am looking forward with great anticipation for their next game. Does anyone know what other games the developers might have out there? QEIII by QEIII on Sep 26, 10 9:15 AM Just finished this extremely enjoyable game. What a romp! Excellent clear graphics, amusing dialogue, good puzzles (had to skip one though), mixing potions (always a sucker for those) and a sexy feisty girl heroine and a handsome prince (sigh). What more could anybody want in a game. I didn't need a hint but others have said it was a staged one, which sounds good. It reminded me, with the eccentric side characters, of the "Monkey island" and "Discworld" games of old. Hope there is more of these two characters. OtekOrchid by OtekOrchid on Sep 27, 10 6:34 AM Hi Kyasarin! As I see you have missed something - I advice to play again ! It is possible to break mirror without wood logs... You can break mirror with nearly anything else (only handkerchief won't brake the mirror) - did you try it? But it's nice to hear that you enjoyed the game! Kyasarin wrote: Edited on 09/27/2010 at 6:37:16 AM PST by Kyasarin on Sep 29, 10 5:00 AM That's not really the point. The point is that, if you miss breaking the mirror before you enter the library and don't have anything in your inventory (I move objects out of mine as soon as the opportunity presents itself), the game won't allow you to pick up anything else in order to break it. A dedicated object would have been, IMHO, a better decision by the game's creators. It was a frustrating flaw in an otherwise highly-enjoyable game. OtekOrchid wrote: Hi Kyasarin! Kyasarin, and what about weights in Library? They are accessible, you can pick them and use for breaking the mirror after you entered the Library... But I understand that you would like to have the dedicated object... Actually I'm one of game creators and I would like to be sure that there are no frustrating flaws or situations in game that you are unable to progress. That's why I put my attention to your post - and as I see it's not so bad - you won't be blocked (but of course still we don't have a dedicated object for this situation - you just have to use almost any object you can have). And once again I have to tell this - I'm happy that you liked the game O HAI! Heh, I should've guessed from your username that you're one of the developers. Like I said, I tend to move objects out of my inventory the minute I can (personal quirk, I suppose). So, once I got into the locked room in the library, I set the weights down on the counter. It was only after that that I went back and tried to break the mirror. In other words, it was a bad coming-together of my particular method of gameplay and a quirk of the game. I know, though, that I'm not the only one who encountered this problem and had to back up and replay a portion of the game. It's something to think about for future games for you, I suppose. I really did like the game, though. Like I said, it's my favorite kind of hidden-object game--not just fetching random objects, but finding things that'll be useful. I hope that you'll be coming out with other games along the same lines, because I'll gladly buy them. OtekOrchid wrote: Hi ! genkicoll by genkicoll on Oct 8, 10 8:11 PM Royal Trouble (Adventure) This is a story-driven adventure game, and you will be missing a lot if you skip through the story. There is a narrator voice-over, plus written conversations between the prince and princess. The first tutorial hint comes up automatically, and you have a choice to skip further tutorial hints if you wish. The options menu gives you separate slider bars for music and sound effects, plus a windowed/non-windowed mode. The general credo for adventure games is "click everywhere". There is a tiered hint system in this, giving you bits of advice at a time, rather than all at once. Just click the "More" button to see what you're supposed to do. There is no refill time, take hints when you want to. The game is heavy on humor - it's not to be taken seriously. The interaction between the characters is very tongue-in-cheek, as are the journal/hint entries. It starts off very easy - almost too easy - so be sure to give the demo a little time before making a yea or nay decision. Quirky and humorous with nice art work. Definitely one to try if you like adventure games... or even if you're new to adventures! bingojerry by bingojerry on Oct 16, 10 4:46 PM I have to say I was a little disappointed in this game. Not that it wasn't good, it was just so short. I played the demo and was hooked, so I purchased the game. What a mistake. It was over before I knew it, with no options for replaying. I think it's a brilliant game, but I prefer a little more value for my money. I realize that it was well done and free of bugs (which I appreciate), but I suppose I prefer games with a little more longevity. littlemamam by littlemamam on Oct 21, 10 10:43 PM The game was so cute It was a very nice diversion which makes they money well spent. In addition to that my 10 year old daughter hopped on and spent hours playing it when she stayed home sick yesterday.

I hope to see more from Orchid Games soon! sonbanon by sonbanon on Nov 1, 10 10:10 PM Played the demo and loved it; cannot justify buying based on reviews that read I'll only get 2-3 hours of glameplay. bunnydog by bunnydog on Nov 17, 10 7:48 AM I just finished playing this game and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great to have a game where the graphics are crisp and clear and you didn't have to get close to the monitor to try to find things. The story moved along in a logical sequence and the puzzles and games related very well to the plot. The characters actually had personality! There was dialogue, but it was so appropriate that I didn't mind reading it at all... it just seemed to belong and didn't seem too much for me. The hint system was wonderful ... you could get one hint, go back and try to work things out and then go back for more if you needed to. Perhaps there could have been more instructions for the puzzles, but not having them made the game more challenging. I did end up skipping one puzzle because it was getting late, but I think I would have eventually figured it out on my own. Congratulations to the developers for creating such a great game and to Big Fish for bringing it to us. Definitely a game I would recommend to others! TnTexas by TnTexas on Dec 9, 10 8:10 PM Overall Impression: a lighthearted, fun game Media Description: The graphics are nice and bright and crisp. The voiceover that transitions you between the characters is well-done. Storyline: a little rushed near the end perhaps and leaves you with several questions unanswered. Other than that, I found it to be consistent and very entertaining. It is told through a ton of dialogue panels. Skipping them will not only leave you wondering what's going on but will also severely shorten the game. Gameplay: This falls into the casual adventure category so there's quite a bit of wandering around trying to figure out how to do what you need to do and how to use what you have in your inventory. However the game is broken down into small segments that must be completed before you can move on so you don't have complete free-rein to explore whatever you want to explore. HOG Scenes: There are only two scenes that could be called HOG scenes. Neither one is difficult. Minigames/puzzles: The whole game is basically a puzzle, trying to figure out how to get out of the spot you're in. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to figure out what you needed to do, but it was never impossible. Hints: The hint system was unlimited and refilled in a reasonable amount of time.

As others have said, it's cute and quirky. Yeah, the dialogue was a little much, but you CAN click ahead to speed it up. Skips for puzzles, which I love...although, I don't recall needing any? Not sure...but definitely enjoyed this game. Dominick_Fontana by Dominick_Fontana on Apr 20, 11 5:26 AM I haven't finished the game yet, but here is my 2 cents so far. If possible, the game designers should be beaten about the head and face for one extremely annoying thing. When you hover over an item with the magnifying glass and the text comes up describing the item, the text is in white and almost always virtually unreadable on a white or light-colored background. About 75%-80% of the time, I cannot read the text. How could this happen? Common sense tells you that the text should be readable and it's not. Other than that, I like the game. It would be much better if there were voice talent, instead of just text dialogues. The writing is witty and funny and the story engaging, but would be better with voice. Also, there is a strategy guide built in. You click on the HInt Book and it reveals what you need to do in stages. It tells you what your objective(s) are and then each time you click on "Read More" it gives another hint until it tells you exactly what you need to do. It is not really a Hidden Object game though, which is fine by me. You have to find items in the scenes but so far there have been no typical close-up scenes with lists of hidden objects to find. There were a couple of scenes at the beginning, but they were different. You have to find a hammer and 8 nails in a toolbox and it shows pictures of them. But it was different and easy and there haven't been any HOGs for awhile now. So halfway through the game so far, I give it a good review, except for the unreadable white text. I'll post my final review after I finish the game. Dominick Fontana Okay, I finished the game. The bottom line is that I liked it. The main problem I already mentioned in my message above. The white text was tough to read at the beginning of the game because there were many light backgrounds. It was more readable later in the game when there were darker backgrounds. There were a few minor problems here and there, such as trying to put the rope on the pulley and finding some of the weights. Sometimes the game was too exact. If you were off by a fraction of an inch when trying to use an Inventory item, it wouldn't work. But after all is said and done, I liked the game. It was very entertaining and that is the bottom line of what a game should be. Two thumbs up here. Big Fish Games Forums > All Game Forums > Royal Trouble	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line168

THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HOPS AND SKIPS The Gonzo Daily - Friday/Saturday Golly what a long strange trip it's been. This week I mean. Everything was going as normal until Tuesday evening. Monday had been fairly productive and straightforward, and on Tuesday Jessica and I had spent a long, complicated day correcting proofs and were feeling really rather pleased with ourselves. Helen, Jessica's mum, who has been housekeeper here since my parent's day came in to see us in the office. She was being very affectionate, and obviously wanted something. "Would we be able to adopt another kitten?" She asked in a voice like honey and treacle mixed up into a potion by someone invented by Enid Blyton. "Christ, not another cat", I began, and then noticed a smug look on Helen's face. She obviously knew something I didn't. Then the pin dropped. "Corinna has already said yes, hasn't she?" I said, realising that I would have to cooperate with the inevitable. Helen nodded, and she, Jessica and Corinna went to collect said kitten from one of Helen's many relatives in Hartland. Not altogether to my surprise, when they returned several hours later Jessica was also clutching a kitten. I did my best to sound stern and resolute and insist that this little one (with whom I immediately fell in love would be our last. After all, I said, we now have four cats (Poppy McGregor, Lilith Tinkerbell, Captain "Peanut" Frunobulax the Magnificent, and the kitten), and that is enough for anybody. However, Helen's household now has ten cats, and much though I love her, I am not sure that she is that good an influence on my beloved wife. The kitten has the temporary name of 'Squeaky' (more because of the noise she makes all day long than because of the Manson Family connotation). But then things got weirder. Wednesday morning dawned bright and sunny, or at least I suspect it did, because after a late night up with Squeaky I overslept by a few hours. I hate oversleeping and coming down late, So I was not in the best of moods when I did eventually come downstairs. When I hobbled into the office, the kitten poking out of the front of my shirt as if I had somehow become a marsupial overnight (being a father figure rather than a mother figure, shouldn't that be a 'Pa-Supial'?) I found to my horror that the hard drive containing all the Gonzo, Wyrd and Music files had gone tits up. Some of it was backed up, but equally some of it wasn't. There are some jolly useful people at a Data Recovery form in Barnstaple who have the drive now, and I am reliably informed that it looks probable that I shall get some if not all of my missing files back, but the whole process is taking longer than usual which is why I have not been operational for the last few days. However, I have always been proud of the fact that The Gonzo Weekly, like the Pony Express always gets through and like the Windmill Theatre we never close. So there is a magazine this week, even though it is somewhat more truncated than usual. Despite all the crap that has happened, I still haven't had a cigarette! I have to admit that I am feeling rather proud of myself.

__label__wiki	0.72977	0.72977	Glendale Cherry Creek Colorado Chronicle the news source for the greater Cherry Creek area End Of An Era: South Gaylord’s Landmarks Are Losing To Developers Coworking Expands, Corporate HQs Replacing District Shops, Claim It’s Now Second Oldest Commercial Block by Glen Richardson Chewing Up Street: The Tavern space on Gaylord has been vacant for more than a year and is likely to be gobbled up by developers adding offices in lieu of restaurants. This holiday season will be the last for one of Denver’s oldest gift shops as the 45-year old Tender Thicket along Old South Gaylord has lost its lease to a developer. It’s the conclusive indicator that this is the end of an era for Denver’s second oldest historic district. The Thicket’s home on Gaylord St. is close to 100 years old. — it’s historic — but the neighborhood decided not to designate it that way and that applies to all the stores along Gaylord. Larimer Square is Denver’s only locally protected historic district, designated in 1971 after a determined Dana Crawford saved the block. Its historic designation was the first in Denver that recognized not only individual historic buildings but a collection of buildings and their setting. The quaint Gaylord block in the heart of Wash Park — between Mississippi and Tennessee Ave. — was, until the last couple of years, home to unique shops but is shifting into a commercial block similar to how Cherry Creek North is changing. Until recently area realtors could claim Old South Gaylord was the embodiment of what a neighborhood should look like, a historic district of inviting boutiques, art galleries and great restaurants. Distressing Demolition Coworking Expands: Grant Real Estate Co. purchased the building that housed the Thicket and the adjacent Edward Jones offices on the left and plans to bulldoze the building and add a second coworking space. The Tender Thicket survived three moves, four owners, a flood, economic ups and downs, but redevelopment will be its final move. Grant Real Estate Co. owner Aaron Grant purchased the 5,500-sq.-ft. building that houses the Thicket and adjacent Edward Jones building (now vacant) for $ 2 million. At the same time in 2017 Grant purchased the building at 1040 S. Gaylord for $ 2.9 million and converted it into Park Coworking that is now open with 24 stations and 16 dedicated desks. He now plans to bulldoze the other two buildings and add a second coworking space. “It hurts my heart that this cute neighborhood will no longer be part of the Old South Gaylord community,” Tender Thicket owner Maury Ankrum tells the Chronicle. The Thicket building was once a pharmacy and, in fact, they resurrected the pharmacy counter as their checkout counter and still have the first medicine cabinet in the back. “It was important to me to keep a bit of its history intact,” she says. Ankeum is now looking for a new location, but hasn’t yet found the perfect fit. I am profoundly grateful and humbled for the years of love and support this neighborhood has given us,” she adds. “We will miss it dearly. I hope my customers will stop by to say goodbye and snag some fantastic deals as they check off their holiday list.” History Lost Heritage History: The 45-year old Tender Thicket along Old South Gaylord has lost its lease to developers. The Thicket’s home on Gaylord St. is close to 100 years old — it’s historic — but the neighborhood decided not to designate it that way. While the Tender Thicket building is believed to be Gaylord’s oldest, the block is dramatically changing as several developers are buying up the land to add office space in lieu of retail and restaurants. The Thicket is just one of many stores that have left or are leaving. On the west side of the street, Gaylord has lost Denver’s No. 2 ranked art gallery Arts at Denver, a tailor, two hair salons and a bike shop. In addition to the Thicket, the east side of the street has lost or is losing The Tavern, Washington Bark, Sole Sisters (a shoe store), Little Angels (a pet boutique) and Edward Jones. The prime corporate takeover of historic assets taking place on the west side of Gaylord is the corporate purchase of the former bike shop (Singletrack Factory) near the corner of Gaylord and Tennessee by LotusGroup Advisors. Corporate Coup: Two walls are up on LotusGroup Advisors build-out of this two-story corporate office on Gaylord. Among reasons the financial firm chose the district is because of improved parking over its Cherry Creek location. The Cherry Creek-based financial firm’s Managing Partner Raphael Martorello paid $ 1.4 million for the property, has bulldozed the building and is spending at least another $ 1.8 million to build out a 7,200-sq.-ft. two-story corporate office in the heart of the historic Wash Park neighborhood. Designed by Neo Era Architecture and being built by 303 Construction, the firm had projected completion in the second quarter of this year. In mid-Oct. as this article was written only two of the four walls of the corporate space are up. When announcing the project along what he called a quaint and nice street, Martorello said he chose the site because we wanted to achieve a “commercial building that feels like a home.” At the time he declared the new corporate HQ would have “an open floor plan, energy efficient construction, many spaces for collaboration, and improved parking over Cherry Creek.” Gaylord’s History High Drama: The building that now houses the Charcoal Bistro and a fitness studio opened as the D & R Theater in 1925. The 1920s were the golden age of movie theaters, and, in 1925 Gaylord opened its own motion picture palace. The Washington Park D & R Theater (now home to Charcoal Bistro) at 1028 South Gaylord St. was built by Carl Adler, who also operated the South Gaylord Home Bakery. On opening night of the theater in August 1925, two Shetland ponies were given away as a promotional event. The Washington Park R & D viewed itself as symbolizing “a new ideal in entertainment,” a community theater which was up-to-date in every detail. A business district was flourishing along South Gaylord by the early 1920s. Chrysler & Son was the first to establish a business in the area, erecting a brick store at 1075-1083 South Gaylord St., in 1915. Historians say that the shopping area “was mostly a product of the 1920s when streetcar #5 terminated there and attracted shoppers on their way to and from work.” The 1000 block of South Gaylord was zoned Business-Retail when the city was first zoned in 1925. By 1930 the block featured three clothes cleaners, two beauty parlors, two barbers, two plumbers, a sheet metal worker and a shoe repair shop. As Denver basks in a period of massive growth combined with the commercial potential of historic districts, the historic designation of buildings and homes is likely to have little impact on the ground. Developers from Denver and elsewhere will continue to receive over-the-counter demolition permits and raze buildings and homes to destroy history for profit.

__label__wiki	0.7063	0.7063	The Tillie injury: What's it mean to the Zags? Gonzaga’s breakthrough to the NCAA basketball championship game two years ago not only put the Zags in a new and celestial territory, it changed the way people look at them. So, as they assembled pieces for the 2018-19 season and began drawing consensus preseason top-five acclaim nationally, I found myself switching the operative question from, “What’s it going to take for them to make the Final Four?” to “What would keep them from doing it?” Soon after, Killian Tillie went down with a stress fracture of the ankle, reminding us that the best-laid plans can go poof at the blink of a bone scan. Tillie is expected to be out until about the end of December, which is both good news and bad. If healthy, he’ll have plenty of time to be re-integrated into the lineup before the rigors of March. But he’s going to miss the games that will say a lot about the Zags’ positioning in the NCAA tournament bracket. With the season starting next week, some notions about what Tillie’s injury means: First, and Zag fans might want to knock wood at this, but the program has been relatively fortunate over the years at not sustaining a season-torpedoing succession of injuries. Yes, there have been severe setbacks in the 20-year run of NCAA tournaments, from Mike Nilson’s achilles tear in 2000 to Przemek Karnowski’s back injury in 2015-16, and in between, Kevin Pangos’ season-long ordeal with turf toe in 2013-14. (And for one, brutal half, Gary Bell Jr.’s ankle that denied him at the break of the Wichita State apocalypse in 2013.) Tillie, in fact, has had it about as bad as anybody in a Zag uniform. He missed 10 games two years ago leading into the WCC tournament with a severe ankle sprain, and a hip problem took him out of GU’s Sweet 16 matchup against Florida State last season. Now this. First thing I thought of when Tillie’s injury news broke? Corey Kispert. Not because he’s a facsimile of Tillie – he’s 6-6, not 6-10, and is a swingman, not a stretch-four – but because the trickle-down from Tillie’s injury means Kispert will get more key minutes, and let’s not forget, Kispert was playing well enough at the beginning of his freshman season to be a starter at the three spot. Indications are, he’s had a stellar fall camp. Freshman big Filip Petrusev more closely mirrors Tillie’s skills, but I’d look for Kispert to emerge. Let’s consider the NCAA bracket implications from Tillie’s injury. As always, the basketball committee will give lip service to how a team has fared with and without the injured player. The problem here for Gonzaga is pretty simple: If Tillie indeed doesn’t return until after the real bullets have been fired in November and December, it’s going to be difficult to assess the Zags with him, because the WCC schedule is so forgiving. Say they blow through the WCC schedule with one loss. It’s going to be easy for skeptics to write that off to a soft conference. Some struggles before the New Year wouldn’t be a deal-breaker in March, but surely the potential is there to drop a seed line or more because of some heavyweight losses. So let’s look at it like this: I see six big-time challenges on the schedule in November and December. (OK, this is entirely unscientific, subject to breakthroughs by other teams and breakdowns by the Zags, but hear me out.) Those would be the latter two games at the Maui Invitational (against either Arizona or Iowa State and whatever the final day brings – possibly Duke); at Creighton Dec. 1; Washington Dec. 5; Tennessee in Phoenix Dec. 9; and at North Carolina Dec. 15. I’d set an over/under on wins for that six-pack at 3.5. (Among other things, the challenge of Gonzaga's final day in Maui will depend heavily on its results the first two days.) So in my mind, if the Zags can squeeze four victories from that half-dozen, it would be a triumph coming out of pre-conference play. And assuming no other missteps, that would curb the March-bracket damage from Tillie’s absence to one seed line – if that.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line180

Guest post by the GSA Early Career Scientist Policy Subcommittee Scientific progress is at risk from proposed changes to the US tax code. These changes, proposed by both the House and Senate, threaten to constrict the supply of research labor and funding, the impact of which will be felt for generations. The scientific community has a responsibility to understand the proposed changes, how they will impact the research enterprise, and how we can act together to make a difference. How the Senate and House bills differ The Senate and the House have each passed a version of the tax legislation. They are now in conference negotiations to produce a bill that can pass through both chambers. The Washington Post outlines the crucial differences that must be reconciled, including changes to the tax brackets, estate tax, child tax credits, the timing of corporate tax changes and the expiration of tax cuts, the alternative minimum tax and, not least, the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate. A detailed side-by-side comparison can be found here. The main difficulty in negotiating comes from the Senate rules that stipulate the bill must not add to the deficit outside of a 10 year window and cannot add more than $1.5 trillion to the deficit. How permanent tax cuts for corporations threaten funding for higher education and research Though the bills differ in important ways, both benefit corporations and wealthy individuals who earn a disproportionate amount of their income from capital (including stock sales and dividends), by eliminating/reducing the estate tax, changing how tax brackets are calculated over time, and cutting the corporate tax rate permanently. In contrast, other income tax cuts in the bills last only 10 years. Under both bills, the higher an individual’s income, the greater their share of tax cuts. For instance, under the Senate plan, in 2027 the lowest 20% of earners would be subject to a tax increase, while the top 0.1% receive the largest proportion of cuts: an average savings of over $200,000 for each. Even when accounting for projected economic growth, both bills are predicted to add over $1 trillion to the deficit. To keep this number from being even higher, many tax breaks favoring the higher education sector have been removed; the incentive for charitable giving is reduced and universities must now pay a tax on endowments. This reduces income for institutions, which may be passed on to scientists in the form of reduced research support, scholarships and travel awards, childcare grants, etc. Individual students may also be affected by the loss of employee tuition benefits and the student loan interest deduction. Scientists should also be concerned because the increased deficit is already being used as reason to reduce government spending. While Congress is currently focused on reducing entitlement spending (which includes Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security), discretionary spending (which includes research funding at NIH, NSF, and other agencies) would not automatically be protected. To preempt these threats to the sustainability of the research enterprise, the scientific community must clearly articulate the benefits of research to the public. Why you need to think beyond the tuition waiver tax The House proposal to tax graduate students on tuition waivers has received a lot of attention, prompting walkouts, as well as many statements of concern from scientific organizations, including GSA. While much of the focus has been on the financial impact on the current crop of graduate students, less attention has been paid to the structural changes that would affect future generations of students and the overall research output from the scientific community. A collective investment is underway to diversify the scientific workforce. Limiting training to the financially secure threatens to reverse any progress in this critical area. If we move even further away from a meritocratic system, what will the effect be on research quality? Without the creative capital of a diverse workforce, the US’ reputation as a world leader in biomedical research will be diminished. Other provisions in the bill would disproportionately harm those scientists at the earlier stages of their careers, such as graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For example, very few proposed tax cuts are targeted at families with children—and none at families with very young children. By 2027, all but the highest income families would owe more tax than under current law. For postdocs who are funded by fellowships and must purchase their insurance independent of their institution, the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate by the Senate bill could destabilize the insurance markets and lead to higher premiums. Both measures would severely affect early career scientists who are already in a financially precarious position. While only the House bill proposes taxing tuition waivers, and not the Senate’s, it could still be inserted into the final version during conference. Check how your representative/senator voted here.

__label__wiki	0.845138	0.845138	Georgia Tech Basketball 2006-2007 Formerly Tim Poulos' Georgia Tech News. This website will be based on Recruiting Updates and news on the Georgia Tech basketball team. UNLV 67 GEORGIA TECH 63 NCAA 1st ROUND Well the Jackets were taken down in the 1st round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday to the Runnin Rebels of UNLV 67-63. This ends a remarkable turnaround season for Georgia Tech, who finished the season at 20-12, and had wins over tournament teams Boston College, Duke, Purdue, and sweet 16 teams North Carolina and Memphis. The Jackets dealt with some adversity this season losing leading scorer at the time, Lewis Clinch to a violation of the school code honor. Freshmen sensations Thaddeus Young, and Javaris Crittenton lived up to the hype. In the end the Yellow Jackets youth was the difference. Now comes a brutal off season for us as we have to wait for the decision of Javaris and Thaddeus about whether they will test the NBA waters. NBA rules allow a college player to test the NBA as long as an agent is not hired. I really dont know what to think about our chances of having both guys back next season, but i do believe we should get at least one of them back. I mean how many guys leave the same team for the NBA in one season? I know last season Texas had it with Daniel Gibson and Lamarcus Aldridge. Can you blame the kids?? I say no. How can you blame a guy looking to take care of his family. In Javaris' case, his mother just told him that his grandmother is sick, and according to Javaris, that is a "Major" part of his decision. If his grandmother's health improves, then i look for Javaris to be back, but if not, then he could leave. Thaddeus Young on the other hand could be gone. He is projected by almost everyone to be a sure thing lottery pick. Although Thaddeus has said he will ask his father for advice, he just seems like a long term guy for us. He has good grades, and GT was important because of the education. I have no idea what these two young superstars will do, but whatever it is, i wish them well. Mario West has played his last game as a Yellow Jacket, and what a story he was a part of. This guy played in 3 NCAA Tournaments, including our 2004 NCAA Run to the Championship game. Mario West is one of my favorite players in Tech history, and we will all miss his defense and heart. Thank you Mario for your hard work. I'll have more updates on the Thaddeus Young situation, as i keep in touch with him via email..........Next season should be another NCAA Tournament season for us, as we welcome in McDonalds All-American Gani Lawal, along with Memphis product Maurice Miller, and Matt Causey a transfer guard. We also will be welcoming Brad Sheehan, the center from New York who redshirted next season. We dont lose much, but we will be getting alot of help. If the two studs come back next season, we could be looking at a National Title. Until then....GO JACKETS!! Paul Hewitt dissapointed in Tech's season Georgia Tech - UNLV breakdown Inbounds play gets through Tech's defense posted by Tim Poulos at 10:05 PM 78 comments JACKETS PLAY THEMSELVES INTO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT; CRITTENTON 3rd TEAM ALL-ACC Well it's been a while since the page was updated as i have been very busy. Not only does Georgia Tech rise from the dead and defeat North Carolina 84-77, but they come back home 3 days later and defeat Boston College in convincing fashion. At 20-10, looks like our Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be playing in the big dance.............................Some interesting news....including a great article on Thaddeus Young on why he should come back to Georgia Tech, at least for 2 more years......................and Javaris Crittenton making the All-ACC third team, and possibly winning the Rookie of the Year Award....................Good Job Javaris!!!!....Just add him to the list if that happens...........More news soon, Go Jackets!!! posted by Tim Poulos at 9:53 PM 3 comments Rumors, News, Articles I first heard of the Lewis Clinch rumor on the internet a couple of weeks ago regarding being ineligible for the 2nd semester of the basketball season. Like all Tech fans, i became concerned. Well i can tell you that the whole thing is garbage. Lewis Clinch is not playing defense and coach Hewitt doesnt like it. It has nothing at all to do with grades. Everything i am hearing is that Coach Hewitt is looking for the right rotation to win ballgames. This means playing offense....and oh yeah..defense!..................A recent article from CNNSI.COM about Jay Williams, the former number two overall draft pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, from Duke has mention of BJ Elder. BJ is playing in the developmental league, where Will Bynum enjoyed some success last year. BJ scored 25 points in his last outing for the Austin Toros, and according to Jason Williams, BJ "can score from anywhere". Wouldnt it be nice if BJ got called up soon?.............CNN SI also ranked the Thrillerdome as far as what kind of rating our fans have. Pretty interesting article, and we actually got a 8.0 rating on a scale of 1-10.................Also found an interesting article about Thaddeus Young, read on........ Happy New Year Guys! Go Jackets!! posted by Tim Poulos at 5:13 PM 206 comments Jackets score easy win Over Troy 85-55 From AP Wire: ATLANTA (AP) -Jeremis Smith and Thaddeus Young each scored 16 points and Georgia Tech went on to rout Troy 85-55 on Thursday. Tech's leading scorer, Lewis Clinch, added nine points on 3-of-6 3-point baskets while Smith scored 10 of his points during the first seven minutes of the second half. Smith and Ra'Sean Dickey added nine rebounds apiece and Javaris Crittenton had 10 assists. The Yellow Jackets (9-3) led 40-23 at the half in winning their third in a row. Cedric Jackson led Troy (5-8) with 14 points. Sammy Sharp added 10 points and nine rebounds for the Trojans who lost their third straight and sixth in seven games. The Yellow Jackets used a 10-0 run for a 65-37 lead with 11 minutes left with Young scoring four points. Tech took a 12-0 lead with Clinch hitting a pair of 3-point baskets as Troy missed its first 12 shots before Jerome Odem hit a 3-pointer after 6:30. With the Yellow Jackets leading 18-5, the Trojans outscored Tech 13-3 with Justin Jonus scoring five points to get within 21-18 with 8:11 left before intermission. The Yellow Jackets, however, went on a 19-5 run with Young scoring 10 points to take their 40-23 lead at intermission over the Alabama squad. Troy's leading scorer, O'Darien Bassett (18.8), missed all eight of his first-half shots, making only a pair of free throws. He finished with four points, connecting on 1-of-14 shots from the field and missing all six of his 3-point attempts. Georgia Tech 85 Troy 55 (Box Score) Bad Thad Leads Jackets to 78-69 drubbing of UGA The real Thaddeus Young showed up tonight, and that meant the "real" Georgia Tech basketball team was on display tonight at AMC. Thaddeus Young scored a season, and career high 24 points and grabbed 10 boards in leading the Jackets to a 78-69 win over Georgia. This was definitely Tech's most impressive performance of the season. After building a 39-35 Halftime lead, Georgia came out on fire and tied it up after 3 straight turnovers by Javaris Crittenton. Tech would eventually pull away taking a 61-49 lead with just over 5 minutes to play. The Jackets hit 30 of 41 from the foul line and really seemed to confuse Georgia all night with their defensive pressure. UGA came into the game 2nd in the nation in FG percentage, and the Jackets held them to their worst percentage of the season (38%). The question mark of the game was leading scorer Lewis Clinch. Lewis only played 8 minutes. Nobody is sure what is going on , but rumors are running rampant that Clinch may be academically ineligible for the 2nd semester. Hope the rumors are false, but even with Clinch out, i think this team can win alot of games this season. Mario West had another solid performance and was named the FOX Sports player of the game, although it was quite clear that Thaddeus Young should have gotten that honor. Ra'Sean Dickey had a solid game scoring 15 points and grabbing 9 boards. Tech improves to 8-3 on the season with a couple of cupcakes coming up, we should get 10 wins before we begin ACC Play at Clemson on January 6th. What a big win for the Jackets! Sorry UGA! You were rolling until tonight. Georgia Tech vs Georgia BoxScore posted by Tim Poulos at 12:00 AM 0 comments Jackets survive Penn State in ACC / Big Ten Challenge, minus Thaddeus Young Well it wasnt pretty tonight, but we got the win 77-73 against Penn State. I managed to watch the game tonight on ESPNU, and it was pretty cool to see who was doing the color commentary for ESPNU. None other than former GT point Drew Barry, who is also a good friend of mine. Anyway, back to the game. First of all Thaddeus Young did not play because of tendinitis in his knee, but should be ready for Sunday's ACC opener at Miami. Second of all, let me say this: Penn State is a hell of a scrappy team, and there point guard is reminiscent of Steve Nash at times with some of his passes. The big stars of the game tonight were Lewis Clinch (20 pts) and Mario West. Mario played a hell of a defensive game, and was all over the floor. If you get a chance to see the facial in the 2nd half, it was beautiful. Defensively the Jackets let Penn State shoot lights out at 56% for the game. Penn State was led by Jamelle Cornley who had 20 points to match Lewis Clinch for game high. With all the talk about our bad defense, we did have 15 steals in the game, which is amazing. The biggest work in my opinion needs to be in the rebounding department. We had a total of 21 rebounds tonight......yes 21! I think Chris Bosh had 22 in one game the other night in the NBA. All in all, it was a scrappy performance by the Jackets tonight. Georgia Tech vs Penn State Box Score Yellow Jackets take on Penn State tonight in Big Ten / ACC Challenge at Thrillerdome, 8ET ESPNU From Ramblinwreck.com ATLANTA - Following a runner-up finish in last week's EA SPORTS Maui Invitational, Georgia Tech returns home Tuesday night to face Penn State at 8 p.m. in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge at Alexander Memorial Coliseum. The game is being nationally televised on ESPNU. Radio coverage is provided by the Georgia Tech-ISP Sports Network, which can be heard in Atlanta in WQXI-AM (790, WREK-FM (91.1) and WTSH-FM (107.1). The broadcast can also be heard nationally on XM Satellite Radio Ch. 191. The Yellow Jackets bring a 5-1 overall record and the nation's No. 21 ranking in the Associated Press poll and No. 24 in the coaches poll into Tuesday night's game. In Maui, Tech defeated Purdue, 79-61, and No. 11 Memphis, 92-85, before falling to No. 5 UCLA, 88-73, in the championship game. Penn State is 4-1 following a 65-61 victory Friday night over St. Joseph's Commentary: New College Basketball rankings prove some teams get more respect Just last week, the #19 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets played in the Maui Invitaional in Hawaii. After a first round win against unranked Purdue, the Yellow Jackets took on #11 Memphis in the 2nd round. With a 92-85 win over Memphis, the Jackets advanced to the Championship game where they played currently #1 ranked UCLA. UCLA ended up beating us, but you could sense it was a great tournament for the team, and it would mean respect in the polls coming out this week. Well, well well, i guess when you're Georgia Tech, you really dont get the respect that The Duke's and Kansas' get. For instance, Duke was ranked 7th and 8th last week in the polls..they lose to Marquette......and now they are ranked 10th and 11th in the same poll. Syracuse, playing cream puff after cream puff continues to roll up the national ranking with a 6-0 record despite struggling in most of the games against WEAK competition. Kansas, who lost to Oral Roberts, but beat Florida is still a strong team according to the rankings at #5. Then you have Georgia Tech, who was ranked 19th in both rankings going in, and we go to the Championship game against UCLA, and are now ranked???? Ummmmm...............21st, and 23rd in the new polls???? Well, if this isnt bulletin board material for Paul Hewitt, then i dont know what is. Georgia Tech is definitely in the top 15 teams in the country. I am sick of the bias in the polls, especially for Duke, Syracuse, and UCONN. Another team who is ALOT better than 17 and 14 is Memphis. Guys i guess it wont matter come March but i can tell you for sure, that these Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be there! ESPN / AP College Basketball Rankings, November 27th Former Georgia Tech players in the NBA Jarrett Jack - Portland Trailblazers 2006-2007 Salary: $1,137,960 Jarrett has become a really big part of the Trailblazers team. He is leading the team in minutes played and has really become a fan favorite. Last night Jarrett had a big game with 17 points, 5 assists, and 0 turnovers! That's right guys, no turnovers for the big guy. His work ethic definitely has paid off. Chris Bosh - Toronto Raptors Chris Bosh has become a star in the NBA. Although Chris only played at Georgia Tech for a year, he has developed into one of the NBA's best players, and last year played in the NBA All Star game in Houston. Last night's stats: 25 pts, 14 rebounds and 6 assists in a win over Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Matt Harpring - Utah Jazz Matt was one of my favorite all time players at Georgia Tech behind Tommy Hammonds. This was a guy who wasnt recruited that heavily out of high school, came to Georgia Tech and now is an elite role player in the NBA. He also plays for the best team in the NBA through the first month of the NBA Season, in the 11-1 Utah Jazz. He has battled through some injuries last season and is now back to being healthy. Last night stats: 16 points and 6 rebounds in a win over the Sacramento Kings. Stephon Marbury - New York Knicks 2006-2007 Salary: $17,275,781 Stephon is in a bad situation in New York and last year was voted as the most overrated player in the NBA by the Sporting News Magazine. Stephon also played one year at Georgia Tech before bolting to the big money in the NBA. 17 Million is BIG money too. What most people dont know about Stephon is he donated $500,000 to the Hurricane Katrina relief fund last year. posted by Tim Poulos at 7:58 AM 1 comments Maui Wrap-up: Jackets fall to UCLA in Final Game 88-73 The Jackets wont go undefeated this year that is guaranteed. After beating Purdue in the first round, and then #11 Memphis in the semifinals, the young Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets fell to #5 powerhouse UCLA in the final game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday night. Not much good to say about last night's game. Sloppy play, alot of turnovers, alot of forced shots. We have to remember that we have 3 freshmen starters in the lineup and it kind of showed a little last night. Thaddeus Young still hasnt lived up to the billing that rated him #3 nationally in most rankings, but when he does this team should grow up quickly. Ra'Sean Dickey continues to be Ra'Sean Dickey where he hasnt met a shot he didnt like. All in all, i am happy and proud of the work this team did in this tournament. Again, we are starting 3 freshmen, and this team will mature come ACC play. I hope Coach Hewitt keeps the team in Hawaii to enjoy their Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Go Jackets. Next game Tuesday in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge against Penn State. 3-0 Jackets face Purdue in Maui Invitational opener; 5PM ESPN2 The Jackets have been impressive against weaker opponents to open the season, and tonight we'll get a chance to see how good these jackets really are. Tech will again start 3 freshmen in Thaddeus Young, Javaris Crittenton, and Zach Peacock. We have looked very good in the first 3 games, especiall the last 2 games. So, what does this mean?? Well if you ask Paul Hewitt, he says the Jackets are ready. "If you ask the team would they rather be at the beach, or playing Purdue, they will all say, "Playing Purdue". Hewitt continued, "I like the intensity the team has brought to Hawaii". This will be Tech's first appearance in the Maui Invitational, but Paul Hewitt was part of the staff at Villanova when they won the tournament. Is Coach Hewitt superstitious?? Well he says no. "We are staying in the same hotel, so hopefully that is a good omen". I have been in Virginia, and have not been able to update the page as i would like, but this week will have plenty of updates. Here is the homepage for the Maui Inviational to get it started. Go Jackets and bury Purdue!! The Maui Invitational Homepage Crittenton and Young Lead Georgia Tech to pasting of Elon 83-49 ATLANTA (AP) - It's no surprise Javaris Crittenton felt comfortable in his Georgia Tech debut. "I didn't have any jitters, personally," the freshman point guard said. "I'm in my hometown, and I know I've got a lot of support." Crittenton and Thaddeus Young had impressive debuts for No. 23 Georgia Tech, combining for 32 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in an 83-49 victory over Elon on Friday night. "Javaris and Thaddeus did a nice job, but they've got some things they need to work on, and they know it," Yellow Jackets coach Paul Hewitt said. "Defensively, they can get a lot better, and taking care of the ball they can get a lot better." Crittenton, a highly regarded recruit who played two seasons with eventual No. 1 overall NBA pick Dwight Howard at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, scored 17 points. He gave the Yellow Jackets their first 20-point lead with a fast-break runner early in the second half. Young, the most talented freshman forward at Georgia Tech since Chris Bosh four years ago, finished with 13 points and six rebounds. His fast-break dunk with 4:33 remaining made it 77-43. "I think it went great," said Young, who grew up in Memphis, Tenn. "We're just looking forward to the next game." LeVonn Jordan led Elon with 15 points, and Chris Chalko finished with 13. The Phoenix, coming off a 15-14 season, a 10-4 record in the Southern Conference and a school-first division title, was without senior point guard Montell Watson, who twisted an ankle and won't return until early January. Chalko was 3-for-7 on 3-point attempts, but Elon coach Ernie Nestor thought Georgia Tech's defense took away the perimeter threat. "He just couldn't get free tonight, because they wouldn't let him free," Nestor said. "They came with a concerted effort to put the brakes on him. It was a tough, especially since they had a variety of guys that could guard him. They had a half dozen or more." Swingman Lewis Clinch scored 14 points for the Yellow Jackets, who had a game-high eight rebounds from Ra'Sean Dickey. Mario West scored consecutive fast-break layups, the second coming with 6:10 remaining, to make it 73-41. Crittenton is poised to join a long list of stellar point guards, like Jarrett Jack, Stephon Marbury, Kenny Anderson, Travis Best and Mark Price, to play at Georgia Tech. But the freshman had four turnovers to go with five assists. "I've got to limit my turnovers," Crittenton said. "My assist-to-turnover ratio needs to be better, like the carry turnover messed me up. I played OK, but there's always room to improve. (Our ball) rotation needs to be quicker." Georgia Tech lost 13 of 15 to end last season with an 11-17 record, its worst under Hewitt. Now in his sixth year, Hewitt led the Yellow Jackets to their only appearance in the national title game in 2003-04. According to Nestor, who coached Elon to an 81-69 loss a year ago at Alexander Memorial Coliseum, Georgia Tech looked nothing like the team that struggled so much last winter. "You sense that Georgia Tech is on a mission," Nestor said. "They are on a mission to show that they're a better basketball team than they finished last year. That's very evident in the way they played." Georgia Tech - Elon Boxscore Jackets Kick off season opener tonight 8PM ET at AMC!! Well tonight is the start of what hopes to be a banner year for Paul Hewitt and the Jackets. ESPN ran a story the other day about the sleepers for this years college basketball season...right here....and it also seems that our Yellow Jackets traveled to Birmingham this week and scrimmaged UAB and apparently were torched 82-69 according to a blog report by Andy Katz over at ESPN.......The drama of the season about to start......And now you can even watch the game on the internet tonight for only $3.99....even if you cant make the tipoff, the game will be on ACC Select.......The Jackets kick off with Elon tonight, and here's a preview. Go Jackets! Official: Georgia Tech signs 3! Paul Hewitt made it official Wednesday when he announced that the Jackets have signed 3 studs for next season. The players signed were Lance Storrs, Gani Lawal, and Maurice Miller. Gani Lawal is the most talented player in the class ranking anywhere between number 27 and 40. "This group fits every need that we identified going into this recruiting season," said Hewitt. "We identified Gani very early, and we watched Lance grow as a player. Mo Miller, after seeing him last January, became a major priority for us." Hewitt on Gani Lawal: "Gani is a very important young man for the future of Georgia Tech basketball," said Hewitt. "Not only is he an outstanding talent, but he's also shown us through his academic work and how he conducts himself in the court that he can be one of the future leaders of this program." Hewitt on Maurice Miller: "He's a throwback point guard who plays for a former college coach, Jimmy Adams, who does a great job at Raleigh Egypt High School," said Hewitt. "Mo is a very smart player, an excellent passer, and really knows how to run a team." Hewitt on Lance Storrs: "He's a shooter with size," Hewitt said. "I've always been very comfortable coaching big perimeter players, and Lance fits into that mold. He is also an honor student who should excel at Georgia Tech." Georgia Tech signs 3 players (Ramblinwreck.com) Will Bynum erupts for 29 points in Euro League Debut. Former Guard Will Bynum in Europe: Looks like Will Bynum and Luke Schenscher were roster cuts this offseason, with Luke almost making the Bulls roster once again. Once the Bulls drafted Tyrus Thomas, you kind of knew it was the end of the road for Luke. Hopefully Luke can team up with Will in Europe. I will have an update on some former Georgia Tech players very soon. This article is from a European news site, and this game was a HUGE game for Bynuym's squad. I expect Will Bynum to be playing in the NBA soon. Maccabi Tel Aviv edged out Unicaja Malaga 106-101 in an overtime thriller at Yad Eliahu yesterday, but it was a victory that left many questions hanging over Neven Spahija's new-look side. Will Bynum erupted for 29 points in his Euroleague debut, while Nikola Vujcic hit 14 points, adding 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Jamie Arnold came off the bench for 17 points and 8 rebounds, Simas Jasaitis added 14, Derrick Sharp 13 and rookie Lior Eliyahu 12. The second half was neck-and-neck, with Bynum taking the game on to his shoulders and setting the crowd alight with his driving runs. But Bynum failed in managing Tel Aviv's game and Cabezas penalized Maccabi time after time. "We need to be in focus the whole time and not just for 10 or 20 minutes. Then everything will look much better," said Will Bynum. "We are still a new team. It was a great game. We played well, but we all need to focus more on defense and improve it." Coaches Poll is out; GT Ranked 21st The brand new College basketball coaches Poll is out, and Georgia Tech is ranked 23rd. Some interesting teams are ranked ahead of the Jackets, but in my opinion will not even be seen come March. Dont ask me how UCONN can be ranked ahead of us, or Texas for that matter. These teams lost ALOT during the offseason. I think Georgia Tech will be much like the 2004 campaign, when they snuck up on people. For what it's worth, here's the Top 25 Coaches Poll: 2. North Carolina 3. Kansas 4. Ohio State 6. UCLA 7. LSU 8. Georgetown 9. Wisconsin 10. Arizona 11. Duke 12. Alabama 13. Texas A&M 14. Memphis 15. Boston College 16. Washington 17. Marquette 18. UCONN 19. Texas 20. Syracuse 21. Georgia Tech 22. Kentucky 23. Creighton 24. Tennessee 25. Nevada Georgia Tech Basketball Practice Notes Just some practice notes from Jackets practice: Jeremis Smith has lost some weight thanks to a diet that he calls "The Coach Hewitt Diet". The diet is basically no sugar, no carbs, and no fried foods. Seems like all of the players on this years team are hungry. The dissapointment of last years record doesnt sit too well with the whole team. When the team was lacking some intensity the other day in practice, all it took was one of the players shouting, "11-17!!". The seriousness of these boys this season is impressive. They have something to prove, and they will be working their tails off to prevent another dissapointment. Injury Report: Mouhammad Faye - Has been cleared to practice ahead of schedule for his surgery repaired wrist. Faye will not be allowed to shot for a couple more weeks from any distance, but otherwise will participate in conditioning activities. Anthony Morrow - Will not practice as he recovers from the stress fracture in his back. Not too much concern about A-Mo practicing. This injury is more of a "not taking any chances". Morrow could practice right now, but the staff will let this injury heal totally before he is back out there. Javaris Crittenton - Has a strained achilles tendon, but is not limiting much of his practice. Javaris has been wearing a protective walking cast between workouts, but as coach Hewitt stated, "If there was a game to play today, Javaris would be on the court". Tech Basketball starts anew Faye cleared to practice for Georgia Tech As Practice Begins, Tech works on chemistry It's that time of the year again, and for this years Georgia Tech basketball team, chemistry is what it may take for the Jackets to reach the Final Four. A stellar recruiting class and a National Top 20 selection in everyone's pre-season predictions, makes this years Yellow Jackets a team to watch. Chemistry is probably the most important aspect of a championship team, and it seems as though Paul Hewitt already has that taken care of. Mario West, who will be the loan survivor from Tech's National Championship run in 2004 may have his minutes drop with the talent surrounding the team, but that doesnt seem to bother him. To a man, Tech's returning players (freshmen were not available Thursday) all but guffawed at the possibility that jealousy will be an issue, even point guard Mario West, the only senior on the team and a player whose minutes may drop. "That's a good question," West said. "When I made the decision to come back, it was both to get another degree in economics [to go with the degree in management he earned in May] and to win. I'm going to have an effect on this team. I'm the Last Mohican, sort of, from the [2003-2004 season's] Final Four team. I remember the atmosphere and what it takes." Hewitt said he spent little or no time massaging egos in the offseason. He certainly admits, however, that Crittenton represents ground zero for his team, yet without being its foundation. "The returning guys know that if this team's going to be a good team it's going to be on the strength of Lewis Clinch, and Anthony Morrow, Jeremis [Smith], Ra'Sean, Mario — those are the guys who are going to make up the core. Certainly, the [new] guy who'll have the chance for greatest impact is Javaris, because he's our point guard. It seems like the players have also worked very hard in the offseason to not allow another dissapointment like last year from happening. "Nobody in America wants an incoming freshman to take their minutes or share their minutes," junior center Ra'Sean Dickey said. "So working on your weaknesses in the offseason, that's kind of what everybody did." In the coming weeks, i will break down Tech's chances in the ACC and in the NCAA Tournament. We have big expectations from this years team because of the recruiting class and the talent we have on this team. In my opinion, this years team is more talented than our 2004 team that went to the Final Four. I really think Paul Hewitt has this team under control, and it seems like we are saying all the right things in practice regarding chemistry. It's only 2 weeks away from the tip-off guys, and this year is going to be exciting. Stay tuned for more updates. Setback: Anthony Morrow out 6-8 Weeks with stress fracture in back From ESPN.com ATLANTA -- Anthony Morrow, Georgia Tech's leading scorer last season, will miss most of preseason practice because of a stress fracture in his back. Morrow is expected to be out six to eight weeks, with the Yellow Jackets hoping he'll be fully recovered in time for the Nov. 10 opener against Elon. The 6-foot-5 junior guard averaged 16 points a game last season and led the Atlantic Coast Conference by shooting 42.9 percent from 3-point range. The injury was diagnosed this week after Morrow complained of persistent back pain. "We have decided to shut him down and give him every chance to be 100 percent healthy before we start the regular season," coach Paul Hewitt said. "Anthony had a great summer and made significant progress in many areas. Hopefully, this will not set him back too far." Morrow will not be able to participate in individual instruction or team practices during his recovery. Instead, he will maintain his conditioning by working on a bicycle and taking part in underwater exercises. I will have more on this story later. Link: Georgia Tech's Leading scorer to miss 6-8 weeks (ESPN.com) Jackets land Maurice Miller To the other three colleges he'd planned to make official visits to over the next few weeks, Raleigh-Egypt point guard Maurice Miller had this to say Tuesday: "One and done," Miller said of his official visit to Georgia Tech last weekend, where the 6-1 senior guard offered a verbal commitment to Yellow Jackets head coach Paul Hewitt. "It was my first (official visit), but Georgia Tech offers you all the things you need to succeed. Not only is it a good school, but it's got good athletics, too." Rated the No. 13 point guard prospect in the Class of 2007 by Rivals.com and the No. 90 overall prospect, Miller said he had also considered offers from Cincinnati, Clemson, Illinois, LSU, Ole Miss, Stanford, Tennessee, the University of Memphis and Vanderbilt. He'd planned to make an official visit to Ole Miss this weekend before visiting Oklahoma and LSU, but said Tuesday those visits are off. "Going to Georgia Tech on that first visit made it tough on everybody else because they really have showed the most interest in him over the long haul," Raleigh-Egypt basketball coach Jimmy Adams said. "... If he was certain, I told him there was no reason to prolong it, and he found what he was looking for." Miller said he wasn't swayed by the fact that Georgia Tech already has one Memphis product on its roster in freshman forward Thaddeus Young, the former Mitchell High standout, and is reportedly interested in another in Mitchell junior guard Jarvis Jones. "All those guys, every time, were saying, 'You need to come to Georgia Tech,' or whatever, but it wasn't based on them. It was based on my own decision," Miller said Tech's Faye to Surgery on fractured, wrist. Expected to be back in November Tech forward Mouhammad Faye, who is expected to be a big part of Georgia Tech's rebuilding process will miss some early playing time, after having surgery on a broken wrist. Faye broke his wrist in a pick up game on June 13th. Faye should not miss any significant playing time, maybe a couple of games at the beginning of the season. It's better that Faye had the surgery now, instead of finding out later, and missing some ACC Play. Doesnt look like Faye will miss any ACC time, but i would think his goal now would be to get back on the court for Maui on November 22nd. Georgia Tech freshman forward Mouhammad Faye had surgery on his right wrist, and won't play basketball for the Yellow Jackets until after the season begins. Faye, who redshirted last season after qualifying late academically, was injured in a June 13 pickup game. An X-ray revealed no damage, school officials said, but when the injury was slow to heal, an MRI was later scheduled and a damaged ligament was found. His wrist will be immobilized for three months, and then up to eight weeks of therapy will follow before he can return to action in mid-November or later. "It's unfortunate for him and for us," Tech coach Paul Hewitt said in a statement, "but by having surgery now, he will be able to rehab it and be ready for the busy part of our season." Faye, an athletic 6-foot-8 native of Dakar, Senegal, practiced with the Jackets during spring semester last school year, working at both forward spots. He was expected to compete for significant playing time. Faye Has surgery on fractured wrist (College Sports) Bosh to sign 3 year deal with Raptors Former Georgia Tech star and current Toronto Raptor Chris Bosh reportedly will sign a shorter contract deal with the Raptors. Bosh, who was eligible for the NBA Maximum salary of 5 years and 70-75 Million, reportedly will sign a 3 year deal with the team in the coming days. A 3 year deal will reportedly be 40 million, although Lebron James just signed the same 3 year short term contract for 60 million with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bosh may be taking a chance, but something tells me that much money is not a chance. The next time Bosh is eligible for free agency, a contract could garner over 100 million dollars. Bosh, according to NBA front-office sources, has elected to sign a three-year deal with the Raptors worth an estimated $40 million-plus, with a player option in the summer of 2010 to extend the deal for a fourth season and take the value of the contract into the $60 million range. The 22-year-old, who has repeatedly stated his intention to stay with the league's only Canadian franchise, thus has the next four seasons -- including the final season of his original rookie-scale contract at $4.2 million -- to decide if he likes the Raptors' future enough to make a longer commitment. Maurice Brittian dead at 37 Played with GT in 89-90 after transferring from Hutchinson JC; 6th pick in 1991 CBA Draft Just read an article over on scout.com, that mentioned the passing of former Georgia Tech center, Maurice Brittian. What a sad story, as "Mo" was one of my favorite players during the 89-90 campaign. I can still remember me and my brother Rudy saying, "Go Big Mo". Maurice gave us some great minutes off the bench, and only played one season at Georgia Tech, before transferring to Kansas State. Prior to coming to Georgia Tech, Maurice played 2 years at Hutchinson Junior College. Maurice was a 6th Round Draft Pick in the 1991 CBA draft, going to Sioux Falls. The following was found on Scout.com. God Bless Mo, and we'll see you in heaven big fella. Family-Placed Death Notice Celebration of Life for Maurice Davon Ezzard Brittian (BIG MO), born July 18, 1968 in Atlanta was called home to be with the Lord on June 25, 2006. As we all wonder, when I'm gone what would people have to say about me and in his case, I know he was sure that every word would be positive and it would be true. Maurice resided in McDonough, GA where he worked for Nestle. Services will be held Saturday, July 1, 2006 at 12 noon at New Birth South Metropolitan Church, Jonesboro.

Maurice Brittian's Career Stats 1991 CBA Draft (Mo Brittian picked in 6th round) posted by Tim Poulos at 6:18 PM 14 comments He's Baaaack! Bobby Legend agrees to coach College Of Charleston You knew it was coming. You knew retirement wouldnt last long for former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins. Bobby Cremins 59, today was hired by the College Of Charleston, who is coming off of a 17-11 record last season. Coach Cremins is ready to put the microphone down, and come back to coaching. Bobby is a great friend of mine, and i wish him well in the future. Cremins with a mid major? Could be exciting. Also seems like Bobby is still the same with this quote, ya gotta love him. "I know it's going to be tough because they've got some problems, but I really wanted a new challenge,' Cremins told the paper. "I really miss coaching." Cremins Back in the Game Recruiting News: Courtesy of Ramblin Red Just thought i would post the comment from Ramblin Red regarding Georgia Tech's 2007 recruiting class. Ramblin Red has some good insight about all of the recruiting information. I appreciate his comments, and i will post them here for all to see. In other news, looks like the Portland Trailblazers take Jarrett Jack over Sebastian Telfair with their moves in the NBA Draft. I'll have a write up later about that situation and try to get some quotes from the Blazers about Jarrett staying in Portland. Thanks again Ramblin Red, and thanks to all who support the site. Cant wait till October 15th!! RamblinRed - Here is how i would describe the recruiting of the PG's. Maurice Miller - IMO the most likely signee. Alot of mutual interest. Had a so so spring AAU which has kept some suitors at bay. Memphis is going hard after Derrick Rose so they haven't put much effort into Miller yet. Right now i would consider him a solid GT lean. Chris Wright - continues to list G'town as his favorite, though GT is one of about 7 schools he mentions consistently. Not likely to make a decision anytime soon. Was at the Team USA under 18 trials that Hewitt is an asst for so they likely got some face to face time. DePaul coach Wainwright is the other asst and he is also recruiting Wright. Tyrell Reed - interesting dynamic here. GT is sitting a strong #3 behind UNC and Kansas. If one of those two offer i expect them to be chosen ahead of GT, but both are scholarship strapped and haven't offered yet. If for some reason neither offers then GT is Reed's most likely destination. Jamelle McMillan - His recruiting is very interesting. GT has made big strides in the last 2 months, helped not the least by the fact that Jack plays for Jamelle's dad Nate. Of course Nate is also close friends with new NC ST coach Lowe. Appears to be a 3 team race - NC ST, GT, AZ ST (Sendek) with an ACC school most likely. McCamey - GT staff likes him but GT appears to be on the outside looking in. Any of the first 4 could end up in ATL imo, it just depends upon how the dominoes fall. RamblinRed Final Cut: Team USA cuts Gani Lawal Unfortunately Gani Lawal was the last player cut from the USA Basketball team today which was training in San Antonio, Texas. Lawal, who was the youngest player on the floor by almost a year, is a 2007 Georgia Tech recruit. 23 players arrived in San Antonio for tryouts, and Gani made the Top 13, but unfortunately they were taking 12. Lawal seemed upbeat about the whole situation. "I went there with the mindset of learning as much as possible. I wanted to go in there and learn as much as possible about myself and the other guys in the country," Lawal said. "I was going to be happy if I made the team or not. At the end of the day, I learned a lot and now I'm gong to take what I had learned and use it to my advantage. "It was fun. You had a chance to test your skills against the best players and the best coaches you can get. Day in and day out, you were getting better. I was loving it." Gani said he also enjoyed playing for Coach Hewitt during tryouts. Looks like Paul was probably one of the coaches who had to decide on the final roster. "It was fun working with him. He coached my team in one of the scrimmages we had and I worked with him in some of the shooting drills that they ran. It was good learning experience for me because I learned more about his style and how he works with his guys. The thing that struck me about him was he said he was more of a teacher before being a coach. That really made me look forward to getting there in the fall of 2007." Good luck Gani, looking forward to seeing you in 2007. posted by Tim Poulos at 11:57 PM 0 comments Georgia Tech Basketball Head Coach: Paul Hewitt Conference: ACC Record: 8-9 ACC 20-12 Overall National Rankings: AP NA ESPN NA Last Game: Lost to UNLV 77-73 in NCAA 1st Round GT Players in the NBA Stephon Marbury - NY Knicks Chris Bosh - Toronto Luke Schenscher - Chicago Jarrett Jack - Portland Will Bynum - Golden State 2006 GT Basketball Roster 0 Lewis Clinch 1 Javaris Crittenton 4 Ra'Sean Dickey 5 Mario West 11 Mouhammad Faye 12 Paco Diaw 13 D'Andre Bell 23 Anthony Morrow 32 Jeremis Smith 33 Thaddeus Young 34 Brad Sheehan 35 Zach Peacock 44 Alade Aminu Scott's Georgia Tech Blog RamblinWreck.com Georgia Tech Clubhouse (ESPN) NBADRAFT.NET Recent Online Articles Georgia Tech to host Penn State in ACC/Big Ten Challenge (5-2-06) Hewitt named to USA Basketball U-18 staff.

__label__wiki	0.593441	0.593441	Gonçalo Amaral: "I don´t know if Kate McCann's guilty or innocent, but I wouldn´t like to have her as my mother" Euro Weekly News 30th July by Jennifer Leighfield, Editorial Manager I have just finished reading the book by Goncalo amaral, the former chief of Portugal´s Judicial Police, who was taken off the McCann case. Some time back it was reported that the McCann family had sued Amaral and the publisher. Both responded they would be more than happy to face them in court. The book, which has not yet been officially translated into English, is well-written, and in less than 200 pages, describes the investigation, without revealing anything that could jeopardise the case. Although there isn´t much that hasn´t been reported in the press, it is interesting to hear it directly from someone so deeply involved. His suspicions, which he presents as nothing more than that, of the McCann´s involvement in their daughter´s disappearance, are not surprising when we read of the evidence he is faced with, and there must be so much more he cannot speak of. But what is his background? Amaral studied criminology, psychology, psychiatry, sociology and law, but what interests him most, he claims, is studying people. He is a devout Catholic, and has three daughters; the youngest Maddie´s age. While in charge of the investigation, he paid little attention to criticism against him, and went about his job with the professionalism he has been praised for since he joined the police force in the 1980's. His main preoccupation was the fact that requests for help from the British police were being either ignored or intercepted at a very high level, so that little information about the McCanns of their friends was available to the Portuguese. During his career, it seems cases involving little girls have surrounded him, so much so that there have been rumours that he belongs to a supposed group of police who kidnap children to sell them to paedophile networks for extra income. From the outset, Amaral was wary of the McDanns, especially as he is convinced that when a family creates a media circus around the disappearance of a child, they usually know more than they let on. As he told his men, in 90 per cent of disappearances the parents are involved, in most of the remaining cases, relatives and close friends, and in a very small number, total strangers. He was worried. If Maddie had been taken, her parents had signed her death sentence. Publishing her photo would mean that if a network of paedophiles did have her, they would not risk trying to sell her and would probably get rid of her. He has had experience in this trype of case. On September 12 2004, a nine-year old girl named Joana Cipriano was reported missing from a small village in Portugal and the whole of Portugal went to look for her. Amaral was in charge of the case, and concluded in a report that Joana had caught her moher and uncle having sex and afraid she would tell, they killed her, cut her body in pieces and hid it. Her remains were never found, but her mother and uncle were sentenced to 20 years in prison. However, Amaral was in the press then, accused by Joana´s mother of beating a confession out of her. After she was sentenced, she failed to identify her alleged attackers and withdrew the complaint. Amaral belives that if Maddie really is dead, her body will not be found either. When asked if he thought Kate McCann was responsible for her death, he responded, "I don´t know if she´s guilty or innocent, but I wouldn´t like to have her as my mother". Posted and discussed on the 3 arguidos: CONFESSIONS AND LIES English translation of Gonçalo Amaral's book here Critic on the above article - by Joana Morais The article written by Jennifer Leighfield at first glance seems to flatter Gonçalo Amaral, however it has so many incorrect and unsubstantiated rumours that one has to wonder where did the journalist got her informations? As matter of fact one has even to question if the author of this article intends to subliminally produce the idea that Gonçalo Amaral is somewhat connected to a paedophile ring of corrupted cops: "(...)so much so that there have been rumours that he belongs to a supposed group of police who kidnap children to sell them to paedophile networks for extra income", a serious allegation for a professional journalist to make since is based on malicious gossip, as the author herself states in the 3 arguidos forum "I am not spreading rumours about Amaral, but there are many websites (...) who speak of a group of officers belonging to the Portuguese police who actually collaborate with paedophile groups and 'help' the girls to disappear". From here on we understand that Jennifer decided to use a bit of a creative license to write the article. Jennifer writes for example, "During his career, it seems cases involving little girls have surrounded him" - as far as we know Gonçalo Amaral was the Judiciary Police Coordinator of two cases of missing children: the Joana Cipriano Case and the Madeleine McCann case; in his career Gonçalo Amaral has dealt mainly with drug related crimes, homicides, and other crimes who belong specifically to the sphere of expertise of the Judiciary Police. While reading the rest of the article it was uncanny the similitudes we could find with an article written by Aníbal Malvar, a journalist from the Spanish El Mundo Newspaper who in 28 April 2008 was debunked and exposed in this blog as a plagiarizer, who tried to pass off excerpts of a fictional book as a real interview he had made to some Judiciary Police officers, including a "creative statement" given by Gonçalo Amaral - this was followed in the next days by some Portuguese and British media, it even got a mention by Arcadi Espada, El Mundo journalist, University professor of Journalism, and blogger at El Mundo Por Dentro, a blog which criticizes the El Mundo newspaper. Paulo Santos, the lawyer who represented Gonçalo Amaral at the time said ''Those statements are a complete lie. Gonçalo Amaral never told the journalist anything. They seem to be citations that were collected from the book about Maddie, which was written by former PJ inspector Paulo Cristóvão". An example of the evident pasting by Jennifer is this sentence "I don’t know if she’s guilty or innocent, but I wouldn’t like to have her as my mother" attributed to Gonçalo Amaral [in the original article by Anibal in Spanish "Yo no sé si es culpable o inocente, pero no me gustaría que fuera mi madre"] which was later on refuted as being a complete fabrication by the Spanish journalist. So, now that we know where Jennifer pasted her article from and what her sources are it's time to consider this Portuguese proverb - Not everything that glitters is gold! Posted by Jill Havern - CMOMM Links to this post Labels: Gonçalo Amaral, Kate McCann Kate and Gerry McCann: the subject of a University thesis The Kate and Gerry Show? Assessment of the effectiveness of the Find Madeleine PR campaign launched after the disappearance of Madeleine McCann by Natalia Salamon Media Studies Dissertation - University of Westminster In May of 2007 four year old Briton Madeleine McCann disappeared from her parents’ holiday apartment in Portugal. The story has become one of the most extensively covered subjects in media in 2007 and beyond. The missing child’s parents – Kate and Gerry McCann – have started an extensive PR campaign to publicise the search for little Madeleine. Looking objectively from a time perspective assess the effectiveness of this campaign and draw conclusions about audience’s and media reactions. The extensive quantitative research, complemented by interviews with experts, have demonstrated the failure of the campaign in PR terms, as McCanns have consequently overshadowed their own daughter in the media spotlight. On Tuesday the 11th of March 2009 Commons’ Culture Select Committee held a meeting over the review of privacy laws in Britain. One of the speakers was Gerry McCann, a cardiologist from Rothley. When addressing the Committee he said: “Our family has been the focus of some of the most sensationalist, untruthful, irresponsible and damaging reporting in the history of the press, the whole thing turned into “Kate and Gerry show” (BBC News, 2009). The case he was referring to is the media coverage of the search for his missing daughter, Madeleine McCann. Max Clifford, an experienced publicist, referred to this coverage as “probably the biggest story I can remember in the 45 years I have involved in the media industry; it had a live of its own” (McCanns versus the Media, 2008) Madeleine disappeared from a holiday apartment in Praia de Luz in Portugal, Thursday evening on the 3rd of May 2007. The resort itself, located on the Portuguese shore, belongs to Mark Warner company, a firm focused on family-oriented holidays, “leading the way in childcare for 30 years” (Mark Warner Official Website, 2009). Madeleine’s parents, both doctors, were not present in the flat at the time, as they were dining with friends at a tapas restaurant, located around 120 metres away. Madeleine was tucked in as were her two siblings before her parents left for the evening meal. McCanns’ dining companions have also left their offspring in their bedrooms and regular checks on the sleeping children were carried out approximately every half an hour (Collins, 2008). Collins (2008) asserts that the resort offers a crèche free-of-charge and a babysitter for a minimal fee (p. 23), but both McCanns and their companions decided to use their checks system, which they have also applied during a previous holiday in Greece. The flats where the children slept have been left unlocked for the convenience of parents carrying checks. It was reported that the McCanns’ party of nine has been dining in the restaurant every night since their arrival, always without children and “consuming an average of eight to ten bottles of wine with and after their meals each night” (Collins, 2008, p.XXXIV). The absence of Madeleine in her bed has been discovered by her mother just before 10PM that night, with Police being notified shortly and the volunteer search starting immediately. The news of missing British girls, who disappeared on the Portuguese soil have hit the morning news in UK the following morning (Bennett, 2009). The effort of both Portuguese and British Police failed to locate Madeleine or her body and didn’t identify the disappearance neither as abduction, accident nor murder. The case remains unsolved as of April 2009. The disappearance of a child, however devastating and terrifying, is sadly a daily occurrence. Collins (2008) gives the number of 846 recorded cases of child abductions in 2002/03, “while the total number of missing children (runaways for any reason) is estimated at 70,000 annually” (p.165). In Italy, police records show that 1,850 minors went missing in 2005. In Belgium, the number of dossiers reported by the Police in 2005 was 1,022 (Collins, 2008). According to recent report by PACT, the problem is not tackled seriously enough, as different locations around the UK have different success rates in locating missing children, with recent report about missing children being entitled “The Postcode Lottery” (Parents & Abducted Children Together, 2009). With a child going missing nearly everyday, the Madeleine McCann’s story appears to be attracting enormous amounts of media coverage. There are many factors that have attracted media to this particular news. Issues like race, gender, age and location have been raised by commentators as key elements contributing to the perception of newsworthiness of this story. Firstly we need to understand why the media attention was attracted in the first place, as it was in fact triggered my the Mark Warner company, the owner of the Praia da Luz resort. The McCanns have been provided with the media assistance immediately in the hours following the disappearance (BBC News Website, 2008). Mark Warner has hired Alex Woolfall, crisis management head at Bell Pottinger, who was there to help McCanns (and of course Mark Warner): “for the first fortnight after Madeleine disappeared, he was on the spot in Praia da Luz, acting as go-between for the family and the growing pack of journalists” (The Times Online, 2007). Therefore the news of missing child and the search being underway made it to the UK within just few hours. According the company’s website “each year over 75% of company’s holidays are sold on basis of recommendation or repeated booking” (Mark Warner, 2009), so with a child going missing on the premises became a time of trial of the firm. We have identified “the trigger” behind such a quick media coverage – the Mark Warner’s PR team. Soon McCanns gained powerful allies: celebrities, businesspeople and politicians: speaking publicly of Madeleine or contributing financially to her search. Soon Find Madeleine McCann Fund has been set-up in purpose of financing the search efforts and from this fund the first McCanns’ spokesperson Justine McGuiness was being paid her salary (Find Madeleine Official Website, 2009). McGuiness resigned in mid August and has been replaced by Clarence Mitchell, a former journalist, who quit his job at Foreign and Commonwealth Office, because “he felt so strongly that the couple were innocent and he wanted to help them” (The Independent on Sunday, 2009). His connection to Commonwealth Office led media to report, that he was sent by the Government, but he was in fact a private employee paid by the one of the Madeline Fund contributors, Sir Philip Green of Top Shop (The McCanns versus the Media, 2008). Soon after he took over, McCanns have been named official suspects the Portuguese Police investigation (Collins, 2008). These two media professionals have been the driving force behind the PR campaign. McGuiness was McCanns’ spokesperson in the immediate aftermath after the disappearance and led the efforts to publicise it, to made the story known. Clarence Mitchell took over just days before McCanns being named official suspects and he faced another task: to defend McCanns’ image and make sure the search remains the key angle in the coverage, rather than McCanns’ suspected involvement. We can see that McCanns have invested in PR services to publicise the search of their daughter, as they have appreciated that the publicity is greatly aiding the search of any missing child. The documentary “The McCanns versus the Media” (Al Jazeera English, 2008) quotes Gerry McCanns’ sister, who explains that “It was the Centre for Missing and Exploited Children who contacted [the McCanns] and told [them] that the only way to find a missing child is to publicise it; the only times the children have been found [it] was after they have been publicised”. But inevitably media coverage generated by their team has been damaging to the country’s tourism industry and triggered a conflict with Portuguese Police, forced to conduct a sensitive investigation under scrutinising media spotlight. Martin Brunt, correspondent for Sky News identified some of the key factors in the coverage: McCanns had all that was needed for a “perfect storm”: the right place, right time, the right circumstances and appearance and the right company (Mark Warner) backing them up. But somewhere it all went wrong, with McCanns becoming “macabre celebrities” on their own right. The tone of reporting seemed to drastically changed and McCanns have became a subject of coverage that Gerry was referring to in his speech to the MPs. The campaign is a valuable example that media students can learn from. The questions that this dissertation is interested in answering are: [1] Was the Find Madeleine PR campaign effective? [2] What conclusions can be drown from analysis of the campaign in terms of successful and unsuccessful elements? The thesis can be read at the 3 arguidos: 'The Kate & Gerry Show?' by Natalia Salamon (Uni thesis) Is there a link between Natalia and Clarence Mitchell? http://www.linkedin.com/pub/natalia-salamon/14/305/a27 Gonçalo Amaral has also written an account of 'The Kate and Gerry Show' and it can be read here Labels: Gonçalo Amaral, Kate and Gerry Thought for today: Gerry McCann Labels: Gerry McCann Gerry McCann's fitness to practice By Tony Bennett It will be recalled that a number of people recently felt concerned about the severe psychological and medical problems that the McCanns said they were suffering from, in a writ claiming a million quid from Goncalo Amaral - whom their lawyer said should be 'punished'. There was concern that two doctors whose problems were as severe as they described* could be regarded as safe to practise. Hence many letters were written to the 'Fitness to Practice' Department of the General Medical Council. Apparently, it's quite O.K. to have all these problems, so long as they're 'safely controlled', for this is what one complainant has received today from the GMC: Dear xxxxxxxx Dr G McCann Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Please be aware that many doctors have health problems that are safely controlled without any intervention from the GMC.

Dear Lynne Jones, As one of your constituents, I am very concerned about the contents of this letter (link below), which raises serious complaints about the actions of Leicestershire Police and the British government in relation to the mysterious disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Would you please pass my comments to the Prime Minister and make sure that he gives a full answer to all the points raised in this disturbing letter and of course to the petition (link below) which has already easily passed the figure of 500 which automaticaly triggers a written response from Number 10. http://madeleinefoundation.org/main/2009/07/letter-to-prime-minister-gor don-brown/ http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Britpolicereview/ J Havern Lynne Jones reply: Dear Lynne Jones I have to say I'm very shocked by your attitude, apathy, and lack of knowledge about a three year old British citizen who mysteriously 'disappeared' in Portugal. It is clear to me that if all MPs were this dismissive then this little girl will never be found and will never be served with the justice she deserves. Perhaps if MPs spent as much time on important things such as this as they do with trying to fleece the taxpayer out of money to buy floating duck islands and hanging baskets for houses they don't even live in, then this country might just be a better place. MPs work for us I'm led to believe and I respectfully request that you do the job you're paid to do and that is to respond to your constituents concerns in a professional manner. First of all Goncalo Amaral is not a disgruntled Spanish police officer. He is Portuguese and far from disgruntled - he is diligently working towards justice for Madeleine McCann, even now, despite having been removed from the investigation of this little girl by the British government. I suggest you read the information on this link: http://goncaloamaraltruthofthelie.blogspot.com/ to educate yourself about the plight of a three year old British citizen who no one seems to care about. The site is a translation of Goncalo's book, which the McCanns do not want published in this country. Second: The Leicestershire police do, indeed, seem to be in cahoots with the McCanns if only that they are linking their fraudulent fund on the police website, even when they were arguidos. Do all police forces encourage suspects to raise money from children and pensioners so they can pay their mortgage? Third: The springer spaniels names are Eddie and Keela and they are highly trained and valuable police dogs - they 'sniffed out' cadavar odour and blood. Do you not think this should be investigated to find out whose blood and death scent it belonged to, given that a three year old child is 'missing'? I appreciate you don't have the resources to investigate yourself, you're just an MP not a police officer. I realise there is little point in bothering you further with such a seemingly trivial matter as a dead child and I will certainly not be voting for you in the next election. Before I go, though, you might care to note that I've posted your email on this forum and you can view the comments there http://www.the3arguidos.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=35478 Ms Havern Discussions at the 3 arguidos: Responses from MP re: Tony Bennett's letter to Gordon Brown Letter to Prime Minister re Leics Police and other issues Madeleine petition - 96 signatures removed, now down to 416 Labels: Leicestershire Constabulary, Lynne Jones, MP's expenses, The Madeleine Foundation Madeleine McCann case: Must read letter to Prime Minister Gordon Brown from the Madeleine Foundation The Madeleine Foundation Combating child neglect 66 Chippingfield CM17 0DJ Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown LONDON SW1A Dear Prime Minister re: Response to Petition of Elizabeth Woolnough on the 10 Downing Street website, calling on you to order a review into the role of the British police in relation to the Portuguese inquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann We write to support the above petition of Elizabeth Woolnough, which a few days ago received the required 500 votes - meaning that you are committed to making a written reply to the petition demand in public and publishing it on your website. We write to support this petition and give reasons why such a review should be held. We would, however, go further than the petitioner. We suggest that there needs to be a full and open public enquiry not only into the role of Leicestershire Police and other members of the British police forces but also in relation to the extent of government involvement in this case, not least of course your own personal involvement in the case. This included a great deal of activity in May 2007, shortly after Madeleine McCann ‘disappeared’, leading up to your reported intervention in mid-to-late May 2007 in apparently persuading the Portuguese police to allow Dr Gerald McCann to release a description of a possible suspect to the world’s media. We say more about this below. The conduct of British police forces is frequently investigated by a body set up to investigate misconduct, namely the Independent Police Complaints Commission. We do not think that the IPCC is the appropriate body to investigate the serious allegations against Leicestershire Police, and also against members of the British government, in relation to the conduct of the criminal investigation into Madeleine’s ‘disappearance’. We suggest it must be a full, independent and open public enquiry. The Madeleine Foundation is a membership organisation founded to pursue some of the child care issues that arose from the Madeleine McCann case, not least of course whether it could ever be justified to leave three young children alone in a dark, foreign apartment for periods of half-an-hour or longer whilst one is wining and dining with friends out of sight of the room where the children are sleeping and well over a minute’s walk away. It is also right to put on record at this stage that members of The Madeleine Foundation do not believe the claim of the McCanns that Madeleine was abducted. Indeed, we share the views on what really happened to Madeleine McCann of Goncalo Amaral, the original senior investigating detective in the case. He has published a book, ‘A Verdada de Mentira’, which translates as ‘The Truth About A Lie’, in which he explains the evidential reasons for believing that Madeleine McCann died in her parents’ apartment in Praia da Luz and that her body was subsequently hidden or disposed of by or with the approval of her parents, Doctors Gerald and Kate McCann. One of the key lines of evidence he refers to in his book is the work of two internationally-acclaimed British police sniffer dogs, namely the two springer spaniels, Eddie and Keela, who have been trained and used by British dog handler Martin Grime. These dogs, who hitherto had a 100% track record in 200 or more cases of successfully locating where corpses had lain (Eddie) or of detecting human blood (Keela), found the scent of a human corpse in the following locations: 1. The living room of the McCanns’ apartment (5A) in Praia da Luz, on the floor next to the outside wall, behind the sofa 2. In or near the wardrobe in the McCanns’ apartment bedroom 3. On the veranda of the McCanns’ apartment veranda 4. Amongst the flowerbeds outside the apartment 5. On two of Dr Kate McCann’s clothes 6. On a red T-shirt belonging either to Madeleine or to her younger brother Sean 7. On the pink soft toy often produced by Dr Kate McCann for media photographs, ‘Cuddle Cat’ 8. On the floor of the Renault Scenic, the hired car used by the McCanns, near the driver’s seat 9. On the car keys of the Renault Scenic The presence of human cadaverine in these locations or on these items indicates that a corpse which has been dead for at least 90 minutes, usually at least two hours, has been in direct contact with these locations/items. The dogs did not find the scent of a human corpse anywhere else in Praia da Luz. Eddie was reported never to have given a ‘false positive’, i.e. a false alert, to the scent of a human corpse. His reactions to the above ten locations (he alerted to two separate items of Dr Kate McCann’s clothing) can therefore be trusted. The only corpse that could have been in contact with those 10 locations - though it is sad to spell this out in black and white - is that of Madeleine McCann.

This is where the famous large room with a whiteboard is located - the one shown on the notorious Channel 4/Cutting Edge/Mentorn so-called documentary which, inter alia, featured retired Detective Sergeant Dave Edgar and his sidekick Arthur Cowley - trying to look important with the backcloth of a whiteboard with lots of diagrams and words on it. The house is owned by Brian Kennedy and seems to have been bought by him in late 2007. It's where he would regularly meet with the shady intelligence operatives and 'private detectives' he was appointing and running, including 'tecs' from Metodo 3 who also travelled across the English Channel to have clandestine meetings with Kennedy in the same house. Knutsford is of course just down the road from Wilmslow, where the Kennedy Empire and the Latium Group have their prestigious headquarters, and where the McCanns' 'co-ordinating Solicitor' and Kennedy's in-house lawyer, Edward Smethurst - the one who has lied about improvements to a barn near Rochdale so as to evade strict planning laws - has his plush offices. It was not a surprise, therefore, to learn that the McCanns' current 'Chief Investigator', Dave Edgar, reached the pinnacle of his career as a Detective Sergeant in Cheshire Police, based in... Knutsford.

Gobbledygook is an English term used to describe nonsensical language. In other words, mumbo-jumbo. This is technical language that is difficult to understand and seems to have no sense, for example, a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo. A pile of crap. The McCanns writ "alleges that Mr Amaral has damaged their reputation ‘causing indescribable devastation and suffering’ and put in danger the well-being of their children, twins Sean and Amelie, four, and particularly Madeleine". What reputation would that be? Professional doctors who thought it was safe to leave 3 children under 4 years of age unsupervised whilst they went out for drinks and dinner with their friends? I would say that that has potentially put in danger the well-being of their children. It is doubtful that Madeleine can be put in any more danger, in all likelihood she is already dead. Mr Amaral is innocent of any blame in this respect. He did not come onto the scene until after Madeleine was made to disappear in rather mysterious and suspicious circumstances.

The United Nations Development Programme hired Duarte to draft the laws on behalf of the government". Hat-Tip to Ironside for the tip off. Posted by jailhouselawyer Discussion at the 3 arguidos: John Hirst's blog --Madeleine McCann: What happened to her, Labels: Kate and Gerry The McCanns' Fitness to Practice Fitness to Practise Committee, General Medical Council, St. James’s Buildings M1 6FQ. re: Fitness to Practise: Dr Gerald McCann and Dr Kate McCann (formerly Dr Kate Healy) I write to bring to your attention a report about the above couple, both doctors, published in the Sunday People yesterday. Dr Gerald McCann and Dr Kate McCann are the parents of Madeleine McCann, who was reported missing by her mother at around 10.00pm on Thursday 3 May 2007. The circumstances of her disappearance remain mysterious and as yet unsolved. They were made official suspects of involvement in their daughter’s disappearance in September 2007, a status that lasted until July 2008 when the Portuguese judicial authorities concluded that at that time there was insufficient evidence to charge them or anyone else with a crime against Madeleine. Yesterday, the Sunday People published an article based on what they said was a 34-page libel writ served in Portugal against Goncalo Amaral. The McCanns and their advisers have already announced in the press that they intended to sue Mr Amaral for libel. Mr Amaral was the senior investigating officer in the case until he was removed from the investigation in controversial circumstances in October 2007. A month earlier, he was the man responsible for declaring the McCanns to be official suspects in their daughter’s disappearance. The Sunday People says it has translated the libel writ from the Portuguese. The McCanns are claiming damages of £1 million from Mr Amaral. I wish to bring to your attention the medical and psychological condition of these two doctors, one of whom continues to practise, and both of whom we understand to be on the GMC Register. The writ says of Dr Kate McCann that she is ‘deeply and seriously depressed”. The writ goes on to describe both of the McCanns as suffering from: ■permanent anxiety ■insomnia ■lack of appetite ■irritability ■indefinable fear In the writ, according to the Sunday People, the McCanns further describe both of themselves as: ■“totally destroyed” ■“irreparably damaged”, and ■“totally destroyed from a moral, social, ethical, emotional and family point of view” The question that arises is whether either of these doctors is fit to practise or indeed to remain on the GMC Register, at least until these serious psychological problems, suggestive of mental illness, subside. We suggest that the appropriate committee of the GMC should consider (a) suspending them from the GMC until a psychiatrist deems that they have recovered from the above symptoms and (b) providing them with the expert psychiatric help and counselling that anyone exhibiting such severe symptoms should receive from the N.H.S. Presumably if the McCanns are exhibiting these symptoms there are reports available from their G.P. or a psychiatric specialist confirming those symptoms. The other possibility of course, is that the McCanns are grossly exaggerating the extent of their depression or even lying about it, in order to make as much money as possible from Mr Amaral. If that were the case, there would definitely be a whole series of other questions about their fitness to remain in practice and remain on the GMC Register. Many videos and still images exist of the McCanns laughing and joking and appearing to be anything but severely depressed. That would suggest at least the possibility that they have deliberately exaggerated their sadness at and reaction to the loss of Madeleine in order to make as much money as possible from their proposed libel action. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to enclose a complimentary copy of a book written by Tony Bennett, titled: “What Really Happened to Madeleine McCann? - 60 reasons which suggest she was not abducted”. The book suggests that the McCanns’ claim that Madeleine was abducted runs counter to a mass of evidence. Its conclusion is precisely the same as that of Mr Amaral, whose book: ‘A Verdada de Mentira’, (“The Truth About A Lie”), explains that the evidence suggests that Madeleine McCann died in her parents’ apartment and that her body was subsequently hidden or otherwise disposed of. I should add at this point that a great many British people would categorically refuse to be treated by either of the McCanns because of what they have seen of them on TV, or read about them in newspaper articles, or in Mr Bennett’s booklet. For them, the issue is trust. They do not feel that they can trust the McCanns. It is vital for both the medical profession and for the patient that patients have complete trust that their doctors are trustworthy. A clear example among many of why the McCanns cannot be trusted is that initially they claimed that an abductor had jemmied open the shutters to their apartment to gain entrance. Only when this was exposed as patently untrue did they then change their story, now claiming that the abductor must have entered by an open patio door and escaped with Madeleine out of a small window. These are matters we know have been brought to your attention by many others apart from us. We trust that you will take appropriate action with regard to the McCanns and their fitness to practise, taking account the contents of this letter and all the other evidence about their fitness to practice which is available to you. Finally, I understand that there may be a form on which official complaints should be submitted. If such a form exists, please could you send me two copies of such a form, one for each doctor.

A PETITION FOR MADELEINE MCCANN A lady called Elizabeth Wooolnough has started a petition, on the Prime Minister's website calling on Gordon Brown to hold an inquiry, or review, into the conduct of Leicestershire Police in relation to their part in the investigation into Madeleine McCann's 'disappearance'. There is much evidence, sadly, that Madeleine died in her parents' holiday apartment in Portugal, and that her body was hidden or disposed of by her parents. The senior detective who arrested the McCanns, Goncalo Amaral, claims he was removed from the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance due to direct interference from the British government, raising deep suspicions about the role of Leicestershire Police. Some of the many concerns about Leicestershire Police's role are listed below. Today (9 July) the petition has 484 signatures. If we get 500 or more before 30 July, Gordon Brown will be forced to reply in writing to the petitioners' demand. Please support it. It's easy to do so.

The remarkably gentle and friendly way Stuart Prior and his colleagues dealt with the 'Tapas 9' before the rogatory interviews. The McCanns and their friends referred to him in e-mails as 'Stu'.

As Leicestershire residents, I believe you are responsible for monitoring her twin siblings. Sean and Amelie. I feel compelled to write to you today after reading an article in yesterday's (12 July 2009) Sunday Mirror. The article written by TOM WORDEN alleges that court documents lodged by Mr and Mrs McCann reveal that Kate McCann, the mother of Madeleine and twins Sean and Amelie suffers from "deep and serious depression". As well as this, both her and her husband and father to the twins, Gerry McCann, suffer from "permanent anxiety, insomnia, lack of appetite, irritability and an indefinable fear". Can you please monitor the situation and make sure Sean and Amelie are OK. Too many kids have been let down by Social Services in this country in recent years and it will be a travesty if these kids come to any harm as a result of the actions of their primary carers. I will save this email just in case it's necessary to reveal the contents in future.' In addition, Debbie Butler, Madeleine Foundation Chairman, has today spoken to a duty child care social worker in Leicestershire Social Services, and read out the entire Sunday Mirror article to him. He not only listened but said the information was 'very concerning' and he would ensure that it was passed to the right person within the organisation. There is therefore no way the Director of Leiecestershire Social Services can deny being acquainted with the extemely unstable and depressed condition of both the Doctors McCann as described in the Sunday Mirror article. It should be noted that children at risk of emotional, physical or other forms of abuse are placed on what is called a Child Protection Register. Social Services never publicly disclose whether any individual child is on such a register or not. In more serious cases, children considered at serious risk will be placed with other relatives or, if that is not possible, taken into care, or, to use the jargon, 'accommodated'. Mccannfiles Labels: Sean and Amelie Gonçalo Amaral is "looking forward" to facing McCanns in court By Jerry Lawton MADELEINE McCann’s parents are launching a £1million lawsuit against the detective who declared them suspects in her disappearance. And they will use any cash they win to help fund their search for her. Gerry and Kate McCann, both 41, have hired Portugal’s top libel lawyer to conduct their claim against Goncalo Amaral. The 49-year-old ex-police officer was behind the decision to name them suspects after Maddie vanished from their Portuguese holiday flat in May 2007, just before her fourth birthday. He was later sacked from the case and the couple, from Rothley, Leics, have been cleared of any involvement. Since retiring from the force Amaral has continued to point the finger of suspicion at the McCanns in a book and TV documentary which have made him a millionaire. Their lawyer Isabel Duarte, 54, said: “The McCanns have been torn apart by Amaral’s claims.” Amaral’s publisher Mario Sena Lopes said he was “looking forward’’ to facing them in court.

Source: Joana Morais Labels: Deadline for case reopening, Gonçalo Amaral Madeleine McCann: What happened to her and where is she now? By John Hirst Approximately 10 O’ Clock on the evening of 3rd of May 2007, the calm in Praia da Luz was about to be disturbed by Kate McCann announcing that daughter Madeleine was missing. Kate McCann and husband Gerry McCann were quick to assert that an abductor must be responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine. It is illegal for a private investigation to be conducted whilst there is an ongoing police investigation. The police were not convinced that the abduction theory put forward by the McCanns was credible. It was thought that the answer to 3 year old Madeleine’s disappearance lay in Apartment 5A. Madeleine was last seen alive by someone other than the McCanns or someone in their group at 5.30pm when Kate McCann took her out of the Mark Warner crèche. From then until about 10, only the McCanns themselves and David Payne claim to have seen Madeleine alive. The police view is that Madeleine died in the apartment. And that the McCanns version of events is cover up and alibi seeking. Some of the McCanns friends on holiday with them appear to be part of the cover up. If the abduction theory is removed from the equation, then the McCanns have some explaining to do. David Payne also needs to clarify some points. Based upon the presumption that Madeleine is dead, what time did it occur and how? Approximately half an hour earlier, 9.30pm, Matthew Oldfied left the Tapas Bar to go to Apartment 5A to check on Madeleine and the 2 year old twins Sean and Amelie. Only the twins were present, Madeleine had already disappeared by this time. It is not being very responsible if an adult is entrusted with the task of checking to see if 3 young children are safe, and upon discovering one is missing and not attempting to ascertain Madeleine's whereabouts. This calls into question why Kate McCann 30 minutes later made an announcement informing the group that Madeleine had disappeared? Matthew Oldfield may well have been prepared to go along with a cover up to a point, but drew a line at committing himself to perjury and perverting the course of justice by lying that Madeleine was present when he checked Apartment 5A. Approximately half an hour earlier, 9pm, Gerry McCann left the Tapas Bar to go to check on the 3 children. He claims that all 3 were present and asleep in their beds. If Gerry McCann's statement is truthful, then Madeleine disappeared between 9 and 9.30pm. This provides a half hour window of opportunity for an abductor to enter Apartment 5A and snatch Madeleine. The same length of time between Matthew Oldfield checking at 9.30 and Kate McCann checking at 10pm, when there was no sign of Madeleine and yet no big song and dance or hue and cry into her disappearance. At approximately 8.30pm Gerry and Kate McCann leave Apartment 5A and arrive at the Tapas Bar. They claim that all the children were asleep in their beds. An hour later we know that Madeleine is not asleep in her bed, according to Matthew Oldfield's account. There is only Gerry McCann's word that everything was ok at 9pm. It would have strengthened the McCanns version of events had Matthew Oldfield corroborated their account. Instead, his evidence exposes Kate McCann's 10pm alarm to be a falsehood. There is a glaring inconsistency. At approximately 9.15pm Jane Tanner claims that she saw someone walking away with a child who she believed could have been Madeleine. This might appear to fill the gap between 9pm and Gerry McCann stating that all was well, and 9.30pm when Matthew Oldfield states he did not see Madeleine. However, it does not explain the inaction of the group between 9.30 and 10pm. As already stated, it is illegal in Portugal for a private investigation to be conducted into a case whilst there is an ongoing police investigation. The McCanns from the outset claimed that an abductor was responsible for Madeleine's disappearance. The obvious problem with the McCanns private investigation is that it leaves themselves out of the equation of being responsible for the disappearance of 3 year old Madeleine. Ultimately, responsibility for the safety of the children rests with the McCanns. The McCanns claim that they believed it was safe to leave 3 children unsupervised is not a belief that stands up to scrutiny. It was not a safe thing to do. Accidents can and do happen. If Madeleine suffered a fatal accident between the hours of 5.30 and 9.30pm, it follows that her body would have been discovered, and one supposes that the emergency services are called. If there was a fatal accident and the emergency services were not called, it raises the question why not? Cause of death would have to be determined by an autopsy. Surely, a simple accident would not lead to the McCanns being responsible? Therefore, the McCanns did not want an autopsy being conducted. At the very least it raises the question of contributory negligence in the death of Madeleine. The most likely explanation is that Madeleine died sometime between 5.30 and 8.30pm. The only other person other than the McCanns themselves during that time to visit Apartment 5A was David Payne. Interestingly, the statements of the Tapas Bar group are confusing in relation to what time David Payne visited Apartment 5A. According to Gerry McCann it was approximately 6.30pm, and the purpose of David Payne's visit was to assist Kate McCann in getting the children ready to go to the play area near the Tapas Bar. Kate McCann is then supposed to have informed David Payne about the change of plan, and the reason she gave was that the children were too tired. David Payne claims that he saw all 3 children playing in their pyjamas. It was the last time he claims to have seen Madeleine alive. If his statement is to be believed, then Madeleine died sometime between 6.35 and 7pm when Kate McCann was alone in Apartment 5A with the children or between 7 and 8.30pm when both Gerry and Kate McCann were in Apartment 5A. The problem with the McCanns accounts that all 3 children were asleep in their beds when they left Apartment 5A to go to the Tapas Bar at 8.30, is the differences in describing the same scene. Witness accounts can differ according to different interpretations from different perspectives. However, the McCanns are describing a static scene which would be the same for both of them as they walked out of the door. Therefore, the variation in their versions is not accounted for. Perhaps, the most telling was the BBC interview with Kate McCann when she had difficulty answering the simple question about were the children asleep when they left to go to the Tapas Bar. It threw Kate McCann. Her story was supposed to have started from 10pm, the 90 minute earlier starting time by the interviewer left Kate McCann wrongfooted. She did recover her composure and finally answered the question, but it raises the question that perhaps only the twins were both asleep in their beds because something had already happened to Madeleine by 8.30pm. It could be that Kate McCann's announcement about the change of plan was genuine and all 3 children were deemed to be too tired to go to the play area. There again, it could be a hastily made up excuse to cover up the fact that Madeleine was already dead and as such could not be paraded in public. It calls into question David Payne's claim to have seen all 3 children alive and in their pyjamas. In any event, David Payne returns to the tennis court and speaks to Gerry McCann who then changes his plan to play on and returns to Apartment 5A. A tennis instructor takes Gerry McCann's place on the tennis court. That's two changes of plans by two people in a very short space of time, half an hour. Something unexpected comes up usually for people to change their plans. Was this an unexpected death in the family? Madeleine had to disappear not because her death could not be explained by an autoposy, but because the cause of death would be discovered. This is why accidental death does not appear to be the probable cause. If Madeleine had simply drowned in the bath, for example, her death could be easily explained away. If Madeleine met a violent end this would have shown up on an autopsy. The same if she had died by a drug overdose. The crime here is robbing the coroner of a body. The McCanns did not want the authorities becoming aware of how Madeleine died. That is why Madeleine had to disappear. The McCanns could not simply telephone the authorities and report Madeleine's disappearance when either Kate or Gerry or both were present at the time it occured. They needed to distance themselves from the scene of the crime. In their absence the Bogey Man becomes responsible. The cause of death no longer needs to be explained because there is no body to examine. Instead of worried parents calling the police and asking them to help in finding their missing daughter and what may have happened to her, the police are confronted by parents telling them that they know an abductor is responsible for her disappearance. So sure are the parents that they phone family and friends in the UK and informed them that an abductor had broken into the apartment and taken Madeleine away. The police found no evidence to support the break-in claim. Much later, Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns press spokesman, admits that there was no break-in. The McCanns cover story is blown apart. If there was no break-in, in all probability there was no abductor. Would innocent parents invent a story of a fake break-in to explain the disappearance of their 3 year old daughter? No. They would have no need for invention. On the other hand, guilty parents seeking to push away responsibility most certainly needed a cover story. Matthew Oldfield's not seeing Madeleine at 9.30pm, leaves Gerry McCann claiming to be the last person to see Madeleine alive at 9pm. Gerry McCann is setting the scene for a fake break-in story. He is outside by the shutters when he is disturbed by Jeremy Wilkins out walking with his child. Gerry McCann has to go and distract Jeremy Wilkins by making small talk. It was impossible for Jane Tanner to pass by both Gerry McCann and Jeremy Wilkins without either seeing her and for her to have seen Abduction Man walking off with a child who could have been Madeleine. Weaknesses in the McCanns version of events; 1. Fake break-in; 2. Matthew Oldfield not seeing Madeleine; 3. Jane Tanner's fake sighting. A fake break-in, a fake sighting, in all probability the abductor was also a fake. It all puts responsibility back on the McCanns to explain what happened to Madeleine. Why were the police family liasion officers replaced on the police inquiry when they asked the McCanns to explain what had happened to their 3 year old daughter? The question is legitimate. Can the same be said for the officers removal from the case? Was their removal political? Why did the British Secret Service monitor the McCanns mobile phones? Clarence Mitchell tipped off the McCanns that they were subject to electronic surveillance. This revelation led to Mitchell having to resign from the Media Monitoring Unit and his temporary appointment to the Foreign Office. The McCanns then offered Mitchell the job as their official spokesman. The McCanns from the outset attempted to control the police investigation and the media coverage of the case. Madeleine was not in Apartment 5A at 10pm, because she was not there when Matthew Oldfield checked at 9.30. Madeleine was not there at 9pm because Gerry McCann is setting the scene for the break-in story. Madeleine was not asleep in her bed at 8.30pm, because she was already dead. The McCanns went out to the Tapas Bar with the full knowledge of what had happened to Madeleine. It is an inescapable fact that Madeleine is dead. Cause of death and the time is between 5.30 and 8.30pm. Most probably earlier than 8.30pm. Outside of Gerry and Kate McCann knowing the facts of what happened, there is the question how much does David Payne know? To be continued (A work in progress) Labels: Mystery of Madeleine McCann British Ambassador Alexander Ellis asks PJ to reopen Maddie case Madeleine McCann's new file Nigel Nelson British Ambassador Alexander Ellis has asked Portuguese police to reopen the Maddie McCann case. Now the force has promised to look at new evidence into Madeleine's disappearance in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz two years ago just before her fourth birthday. They had said Maddie was dead and the case was closed. But Foreign minister Chris Bryant said: "The head of the Portuguese criminal investigation police is ready to consider credible new leads which may come to light." Detectives working for Maddie's parents Kate and Gerry of Rothley, Leics, say the Algarve is awash with paedophiles. In the last four years seven children of tourists have been molested and there are 38 known sex offenders in the area. Source: People.co.uk Discussion at the 3 arguidos: British Ambassador asks to reopen case - The People Exclusive: Maddie parents sue cop for £1M book profits By Tom Worden Kate and Gerry McCann are suing the police chief who bungled the investigation into their daughter's disappearance - and blamed them for her death - for £1million. In a 36-page writ handed to the Sunday Mirror, they lay bare in painful detail how Gonçalo Amaral's accusations left them "totally destroyed" and caused them "irreparable" damage. It also gives a harrowing insight into the day-to-day life in the McCann household as they struggle to cope without Madeleine. The writ - which the Sunday Mirror has had translated from Portuguese - outlines how the couple both suffer from "permanent anxiety, insomnia, lack of appetite, irritability and an indefinable It also says Kate McCann is "in a deep and serious depression". 'Disgraced former police Amaral has pocketed £ 1million writing a lurid book and making documentary full of cruel about Madeliene and her And now they are suing him every penny of it. He accuses them of accidentally killing their three-year-old daughter and then covering up her death. Amaral, who was thrown off case after five months, repeatedly claimed Madeleine in the holiday apartment on Algarve. In his book The About The Lie he spouts his theory that the couple hid daughter's body. The lawsuit also highlights fears for four-year-old twins and Amelie when they start later this year and begin to hear rumours that Madeleine is dead. And it accuses Amaral of being a self-obsessed, manipulative money-grabber with no morals. The couple, both 41, have hired Portuguese lawyer Isabel Duarte to sue Amaral for defamation and for breaching their human rights. Mrs Duarte, 54, said: "Somebody has to stop him and shut him up. He is a rich man now, earning millions from the distress of this family. We believe he has made up to 1.2million euros (£1million) from the book and the video. We want the court to punish him by taking at least that much from him." The McCanns have a good case for defamation as they have already been cleared by Portugal's Attorney General. The case will go to trial in Lisbon next summer and Amaral, 49, could force the McCanns to take the stand. Madeleine is named with Kate and Gerry and the twins as a complainant in the lawsuit, lodged on June 24. The McCanns, both doctors from Rothley, Leics, claim Amaral's repeated insistence that their daughter is dead has stopped people looking for her. The lawsuit states: "Madeleine has been deprived of the possibility of a fair and adequate investigation into her disappearance, putting her moral and physical integrity at serious risk." It says Gerry and Kate have been "totally destroyed from a moral, social, ethical, emotional and family point of view, beyond the pain that the absence of their eldest daughter causes them". The couple want a minimum of £430,000 in damages for Madeleine, which will be used to keep the search for her going. They also want a minimum of £215,000 each for them, and another £86,000 each for the twins. It is thought any money they get will go to the Maddie fund. Amaral's book has sold around 330,000 copies worldwide. The fatherof-three has become a celeb in Portugal, and has a new Jaguar. The McCanns say his "sole objectives" in writing the book were "to earn a lot of money", using "lies". It says the book and his 50-minute documentary, which has been shown twice on Portuguese TV, are "manipulative, perverse, false, destructive, defamatory, deeply damaging and therefore illegal". Amaral was in charge of the 30 detectives looking for Madeleine after she vanished in May 2007 on a family holiday in Praia da Luz. He was largely responsible for making the McCanns "arguidos" - suspects - four months after Madeleine vanished. But he was kicked off the case in October 2007 days after the Sunday Mirror revealed he was working as little as four hours a day and was enjoying long, boozy lunches. He was removed from the case on his 48th birthday. Amaral took early retirement shortly afterwards, ending 27 years on the force. He began writing his book, promoting it by travelling around Europe giving newspaper interviews. It went on sale in a blaze of publicity in July last year - three days after the McCanns' "arguido" status was removed. Earlier this month Amaral was charged with torturing a witness during a separate missing child case. He faces jail if convicted. WHAT THEY ARE DEMANDING £430,000 damages for Madeleine which will be used to continue the search for her. £215,000 for each parent for the emotional distress the book has caused them. They say they suffer 'permanent anxiety, insomnia, lack of appetite, irritability and an indefinable fear'. The writ also says Kate McCann is 'steeped in a deep and serious depression'. £86,000 for each of their twins Sean and Amelie, who could hear his allegations when they start school in September. HOW HE MADE HIS MONEY £500,000 from the book which has sold 180,000 copies in Portugal alone. £430,000 from the extra 150,000 books which have been sold in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Holland. £100,000 for a TV documentary watched by one in five people in Portugal - 75,000 copies have sold on DVD.

The dangerous convicts should have been returned to jail after committing new crimes or breaking the terms of their early release. But they have been allowed to cheat justice for up to 25 years after police forces across the country failed to track them down. Incredibly, some police forces are refusing to identify the danger men, citing data protection laws. The Government knew little or nothing of the fiasco until after a review was ordered two years ago. The findings were made public yesterday, sparking a belated police hunt to find the fugitives. Those who remain on the run include 20 murderers, 15 rapists and five paedophiles. Of the 954 criminals wrongly at large, at least 59 have re-offended, including crimes of rape. The figures reignited concerns about the ability of the police and probation service to protect the public, and privately some ministers were known to be unhappy with the police Dr David Green, of the Civitas think-tank, attacked the decision by some police forces not to disclose the identities of those on the run. He said: 'If an offender is on the run from justice, what kind of expectation of privacy can he possibly have?' The scandal, which was announced jointly by Home Secretary Alan Johnson and Justice Secretary Jack Straw, has echoes of the foreign prisoner fiasco in which 1,000 overseas convicts were mistakenly freed without being even considered for deportation, leading to the sacking of of Charles Clarke as Home Secretary in 2006. Yesterday's revelations are understood to stem from reviews ordered in the wake of that debacle to see what other 'horrors' were lurking in the corridors of Whitehall. Police forces may put out 'wanted' notices for criminals who have not been successfully recalled, but only 13 currently appear on the Crimewatch website. Some are on the websites of individual forces. The Ministry of Justice said it was the responsibility of individual forces to decide whether to make the criminals' identities public. The Daily Mail discovered confusion and inconsistency across the country yesterday. When we contacted the 43 police forces in England and Wales, all but one were unable to provide all the names of wanted criminals on recall from prison in their area. Two forces, Durham and Surrey, refused to provide any details, citing the Data Protection Act. Other forces said they would be prepared to release names of those missing only if it was sanctioned by the officer in the case. A number of forces publish wanted lists on their websites, but many do not disclose the crime for which the offender was convicted.

The parents of missing Queensland teenager Daniel Morcombe have called for an inquest into their son's unsolved disappearance. The 13-year-old was last seen waiting to catch a bus on the Sunshine Coast in December 2003. Daniel's mother Denise Morcombe says she and her husband have written to the Queensland Coroner Michael Barnes. She says an inquest could reveal more information. "People have to go into the courtroom under oath and hopefully they will tell the truth," she said. "Someone might be hiding some information and if they do have to sit there under oath they might come forward with the truth." Mrs Morcombe says the coroner has sent the request to police. "It's just natural - all cases have to have an inquest at some stage, and it's been five and a half years now so we just thought that it was time to just put that request in," she said.

Six years ago, a little girl disappeared in Panama and has now turned up again, unharmed, in Ecuador. It seems miraculous but her parents, just like the McCanns, never gave up the search. It proves that there can still be a happy conclusion to their long and painful search for little Madeleine.

Reviewers in the relevant research area assess submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to help editors to determine whether the manuscript should be published in the journal. Initial manuscript evaluation The Editor first evaluates all manuscripts. It is rare, but it is possible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Manuscripts rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, have poor grammar or English language, or are outside the aims and scope of the journal. Those that meet the editorial policies and a minimum quality level are normally passed on to at least 2 experts for review. Type of Peer Review The journal employs the double-blind peer review process, where both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the review process. How the Reviewers is selected Whenever possible, Reviewers are matched to the paper according to their expertise and our database is constantly being updated. Reviewer’s reports Reviewers are asked to evaluate whether the manuscript: – Is original – Is methodologically sound – Follows appropriate ethical guidelines – Has results which are clearly presented and support the conclusions – Correctly references previous relevant work. Language correction is not part of the peer review process, but Reviewers may, if so wish, suggest corrections to the manuscript. How long does the review process take? The time required for the review process is dependent on the response of the Reviewers. Should the Reviewer’s reports contradict one another or a report is unnecessarily delayed, a further expert opinion will be sought. In rare cases for which it is extremely difficult to find a second Reviewers to review the manuscript, or when the one Reviewer’s report has thoroughly convinced the Editor, decisions at this stage to accept, reject or ask the author for a revision are made on the basis of only one Reviewer’s report. The Editor’s decision will be sent to the author with recommendations made by the Reviewers, which usually includes verbatim comments by the Reviewers. Revised manuscripts might be returned to the initial Reviewers who may then request another revision of a manuscript. A final decision to accept or reject the manuscript will be sent to the author along with any recommendations made by the Reviewers, and may include verbatim comments by the Reviewers. Editor’s Decision is final Reviewers advise the editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article. 2.

__label__wiki	0.659347	0.659347	You are here: Home / Economy / William Beckley February 13, 2014 by Peter T Young Leave a Comment William Beckley George Charles Beckley was known as “the English friend and military adviser of Kamehameha the Great.” (Taylor) Born in 1787, Beckley arrived in the Islands around 1804. About 1813, he married Ahia Kalanikumaikiʻekiʻe. Ahia was daughter of Kaha, a trusted friend of Kamehameha I, a warrior and Kahuna Kalaiwaʻa (a priest who superintended the building of canoes) and of Makaloa, daughter of Malulani (k) and of Kelehuna (w) of Puna, Hawaiʻi. (Hawaiian Historical Society) At the birth of the princess Nahiʻenaʻena (Kamehameha’s daughter) at Keauhou, Kona, in 1815, Beckley was made a high chief by Kamehameha, so that he might with impunity enter the sacred precinct and present the royal infant with a roll of China silk, after which he went outside, and fired a salute of thirteen guns in her honor. (Hawaiian Historical Society) The Beckleys had seven children, William (1814,) Maria (1817,) Localia (1818,) Mary (1820,) George (1823,) Hannah and Emmeline (1825.) Captain Beckley’s oldest son, William Beckley, born at Keauhou (August 1, 1814,) was hānai to Keōpūolani and brought up together with Kauikeaouli (later King Kamehameha III.) George Beckley’s two oldest daughters were brought up by Queen Kaʻahumanu. (Hawaiian Historical Society) William was also playmates of Keoni Ana, son of John Young, and Aikake, son of Isaac Davis. John Young and Isaac Davis were two of the several foreigners who aligned with Kamehameha I. Young, a boatswain on the British fur trading vessel, Eleanora, was stranded on the Island of Hawai‘i in 1790. Davis arrived the same year on The Fair American. Both became close advisors to Kamehameha I. With the arrival of Western ships, new plants and animals soon found their way to the Hawaiian Islands. In 1793, Captain George Vancouver gave a few cattle to Kamehameha I. When Vancouver landed additional cattle at Kealakekua in 1794, he strongly encouraged Kamehameha to place a 10‐year kapu on them to allow the herd to grow. In the decades that followed, cattle flourished and later turned into a dangerous nuisance. (By 1846, 25,000-wild cattle roamed at will and an additional 10,000-semi‐domesticated cattle lived alongside humans.) Kamehameha III lifted the kapu in 1830 and the hunting of wild cattle was encouraged. The king hired cattle hunters from overseas to help in the effort; many of these were former convicts from Botany Bay in Australia. The hapa-haole Beckley was for a number of years in charge of the king’s cattle on Hawai’i. After the death of Governor Adams Kuakini on December 9, 1844, Beckley was appointed konohiki of Waimea, as well as manager of all the cattle there belonging to the king and the government. (Clark/Kirch) Kamehameha III, although a king, was one of the first ranchers in the islands, owning the largest on the Big Island, from the top of Mauna Kea to the sea. He had William Beckley for his partner and afterwards Olohana Davis (son of Isaac Davis.) (Taylor) Beckley carried his own portion independently; they were identified as Waʻawaʻa, Waikani and a pahale (houselot) at Līhuʻe. In addition, some land nearby (Waiemi) was awarded to his wife (a granddaughter of Kameʻeiamoku (one of the four Kona Uncles and close associates with Kamehameha.)) (Clark/Kirch) Beckley called his piece “Little Mexico,” where he raised thoroughbred horses. This was at Waimea, and a portion of this is now part of Parker Ranch. (Taylor) The “Mexico” reference may tie into one of the stories about how the initial vaqueros (Español – paniolo (cowboys)) came to the islands; one story suggests William Beckley recruited vaqueros from Veracruz Mexico. (Barna) The earliest Hawaiian bullock hunters hunted alone, on foot, and used guns and pit traps. By 1830, a few vaqueros who had perfected methods of capturing wild cattle on horseback in Alta California began working for the Hawaiian monarchy and teaching the Hawaiians their techniques. (Mills) Most histories credit Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III) with the idea of hiring vaqueros. Joaquin Armas arrived in Hawai‘i on April 4, 1831 and stayed in Hawai‘i at the bequest of the King. Armas had grown up in Monterey, where undoubtedly he learned how to rope cattle and process hides. Other contemporary vaqueros on Hawai‘i Island were Miguel Castro, a man named Boronda, and Frederico Ramon Baesa. (Mills) Hawaii’s cowboys became known as paniolo, a corruption of español, the language the vaquero spoke. The term still refers to cowboys working in the Islands and to the culture their lifestyle spawned. By 1840, there was concern that the great herds of cattle would be diminished because of consistent hunting pressure. So, another kapu was placed on the cattle. Under Beckley, more lands were converted to pasturage and holding pens; and, according to Lorezo Lyons, Waimea had turned into a “cattle pen” and “(b)y another unfavorable arrangement 2/3 of Waimea have been converted to a pasture for government herds of cattle, sheep, horses, etc.” (MKSWCD) In 1847, the branding of wild cattle became a government function, overseen by William Beckley. That same year, John Palmer Parker purchased the first acres of land that would become Parker Ranch. (Bergin) Shortly after, in 1850, the King appointed George Davis Hueu, of Waikoloa, as “Keeper of the Cattle” at Waimea, Mauna Kea and surrounding districts. (MKSWCD) William Beckley died March 16, 1871. The image shows an early view of Waimea (Engraved at Lahainaluna.)

Each year, editors at Mediacorp Canada recognize employers that have been judged to demonstrate exceptional human resources programs and forward-thinking workplace policies. The competition is open to employers of any size in the private or public sector. “Being named an employer of choice in one of the largest cities in the Americas is a true accomplishment, and it clearly differentiates Fluidigm in the competition for talent,” said Chris Linthwaite, President and CEO. “While this honor was awarded specifically to our Canadian operations, it reflects our collective efforts globally to make Fluidigm a place where talented people can do the best work of their careers." “This honor is also validation that both our values as an organization and our commitment to accelerate global research on multiple frontiers of human health are resonating with the best and brightest talent,” Linthwaite said. Employers under consideration for the honor are graded on the basis of eight criteria, which have remained consistent since the competition’s inception: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social environment; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.

January 16, 2015 Lauren ZieglerBest Songs of the WeekArgonaut&Wasp, Art of Sleeping, Eves The Behaviour, Jarryd James, Jonathan Emile, Oceaan, Pond, Raury, Spirit Faces, The Outdoor Type, TNGHT Hey everyone, here’s your weekly playlist. We start off with one very heavy trap remix, but fear not – everything else is a lot more mellow. We’ll dance between mellow electronic, sweeping synths, a little funk and a little indie, before ending the mix on two powerful songs, both dedicated to Mike Brown. TNGHT, Acrylics (RL Grime edit) Getting this track out of the way first, because I may be the only one who actually likes a song this heavy. I love TNGHT way too much, and I’ve recently started getting into RL Grime. He just dropped this remix (or edit, remake, redo, whatever) a testament to his talent. This won’t be for everyone, but it gets me going every time and I fucking love it. Argonaut&Wasp, Higher Ground Okay, you might need something a little softer after that, so here’s Higher Ground. Clean and slick, the Vermont duo’s unique blend of subdued funk and soul-infused neo-disco (is that a thing?) get me going, and I don’t usually like stuff this subdued and disco-oriented. Their debut EP is dropping next month, and I’m getting pretty excited about it. The Outdoor Type, Are You Happy? I don’t think you’ll find much harmonica on these playlists, but there’s a first for everything, right? The Outdoor Type have really nicely blended a traditional folk sound with a more indie feel, creating a jingly jangly tune that’s both fun and wistful. I love the blend of distortion and acoustic guitar – it’s not easy to get it right, but this song works. Pond, Zond Does this track need description or review? It’s POND, you know it’s good. Zond is a weird word, but somehow the exact perfect word to describe the trippy, fuzzed-up psych-pop that it is. These guys go from strength to strength, and it’s easy to see why. Oceaan, Veritas (Hoodlem remix) I was recently introduced to Oceaan, and fell in love very quickly. To have been remixed by Melbourne’s Hoodlem, is a match made in heaven. It’s swish, sparse and strange. I can’t really pinpoint a way to describe this. The electronic layers are swift and punchy, while the brassy layers are funky as hell. Spirit Faces, Cloudplay ft. BUOY (Time Pilot Remix) I posted about the original track here a while ago, and Time Pilot’s remix gives it a whole new facelift. Managing to somehow traipse between laid-back and all out insane, the breathy melody anchors the track down, while glitches, flickery percussion and immense bass start bursting at the seams beneath. So strange, but so cool. Eves The Behaviour, TV Formerly known as just Eves, Eves The Behaviour’s new single is seductive, powerful and gloriously dark. The husky melody is rich and really strong, the chorus is so satisfyingly explosive. One of my favourite tracks this week, I cannot wait to see this live at Laneway. Art of Sleeping, Crazy (Tom Scary remix) The original of this song was in my top ten songs of the year, so a Tom Iansek remix? Hell fucking yes. The entire vibe is completely different, which for some reason I didn’t expect. The melody vs. beat contrast has intensified, a signature Iansek sound, and the wavering melody shuffles around a lot more than the original, tapering off into almost Jeff Buckley territory. Jarryd James, Do You Remember Almost out of thin air, Jarryd James and his new single has been the talk of the blog town over the past couple days. It only takes one listen of Do You Remember to see why. There’s a sinister feel to the melody, coupled with a deep beat, and beautiful plucks in between it all. The chorus is fucking great too. Really keen to see what’s next for this guy. Jonathan Emile, Heaven Help Dem ft. Kendrick Lamar Opening with a dedication to Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin, this is a strong track on every single beat. The kind of rap you really need to hear a few times in order to really grasp the lyrics. Such a sharp flow, with the help of Kendrick Lamar of course, and a simple but cool backing rhythm. A really powerful song that I’ve listened to a LOT over the past couple days. Raury, Fly ft. Malik Shakur Last but absolutely not least, another tune written about recent events in the USA. Raury was my favourite discovery of 2014, and an obvious artist to watch this year. This is a really beautiful, simple ballad, written right after Raury found out that Darren Wilson was not convicted for the murder of Mike Brown. It’s incredibly wonderful. I’m just going to leave it here, just listen to it.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line212

He’s never had patience for dramatic females, and the words shy and retiring have never been in Sarah’s vocabulary. Besides, even if he did grow to enjoy her company, it wouldn’t matter. A reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now, unable to run, ride, or even waltz, he could never court a woman like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her. Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought three years earlier, the one that forced her cousin into exile, nearly destroying her family. But even if she could find a way to forgive him, it wouldn’t matter. She doesn’t care that his leg is less than perfect, it’s his personality she can’t stand. But when the pair is forced to spend a week in close company they discover that opinions--even those firmest held--can, in fact, be altered. And when a kiss leads to two, three and four the mathematician may lose count and the miss may, for the first time, find herself speechless.

Website \| Blog \| Facebook \| Goodreads \| Amazon “Wasn’t that nice of Daniel to put you in the coach with us?” Frances said, as soon as Hugh had settled into his seat next to her. Or rather, it was a bit before he was settled; he was coming to realize that she was not a particularly patient child. “Indeed,” Hugh murmured. He supposed he was thankful, actually. Better Lady Frances than some stuffy old lady or a gentleman with a cheroot. And surely her sisters would be tolerable. “I asked him specially,” Frances continued. “I had such a nice time at the wedding yesterday.” She turned to her sisters. “We ate cake together.” “I saw,” Elizabeth said. “Do you mind riding backwards?” Frances asked. “Harriet and Elizabeth both get sick if they do.” “Frances!” Elizabeth protested. “It’s true. What would be more embarrassing, my telling Lord Hugh that you get sick from riding backwards, or actually getting sick from riding backwards?” “I would prefer the former myself,” Hugh said. “Are you going to chatter the whole way?” Harriet asked. Of the three, she looked the most like Sarah. Her hair was a few shades lighter, but the shape of her face was the same, and so was her smile. She looked at Hugh with a hint of embarrassment. “I beg your pardon. I was addressing my sisters, of course. Not you.” “Think nothing of it,” he said with a light smile. “But as it happens, I don’t intend to chatter the whole way.” “I was planning to write,” Harriet continued, moving a small sheaf of papers onto her lap desk. “You can’t do that,” Elizabeth said. “You’ll get ink everywhere.” “No I won’t. I’m developing a new technique.” “For writing in the carriage?” “It involves less ink. I promise. And did anyone remember to pack biscuits? I always get hungry before we stop for lunch.” “Frances brought some. And you know Mother will have a fit if you get ink on—” “Watch your elbows, Frances.” “So sorry, Lord Hugh. I hope that didn’t hurt. And I didn’t bring any biscuits. I thought Elizabeth was going to do so.” “Did you sit on my doll?” “Oh, bother. I knew I should have eaten a bigger breakfast. Stop looking at me like that. I’m not going to get ink on the cush—” “Your doll is right here. How does one use less ink?” Hugh could only stare. There appeared to be sixteen different conversations going on at once. With only three participants. “Well, I just jot down the main ideas—” “Do the main ideas have unicorns?” Hugh had been completely unable to track who was saying what until that. “Not the unicorns again,” Elizabeth groaned. She looked over at Hugh, and said, “Please forgive my sister. She is obsessed with unicorns.” Hugh glanced down at Frances. She’d gone rigid with anger and was glaring at her sister. He didn’t really blame her; Elizabeth’s tone had been as older-sibling as it got, two parts condescension and one part derision. And while he didn’t really hold that against her —he would have been the same at her age, he was sure— he was seized by a sudden urge to be a little girl’s hero. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been anyone’s hero. “I rather like unicorns,” he said. Elizabeth looked stunned. “You do?” He shrugged. “Doesn’t everyone?” “Yes, but you don’t believe in them,” Elizabeth said. “Frances thinks they are real.” Out of the corner of his eye he saw Frances, eyeing him nervously. “I certainly cannot prove that they don’t exist,” he said. Frances let out a squeak. Elizabeth looked as if she’d been staring into the sun too long. “Lord Hugh,” Frances said, “I—” “Mama!” Frances stopped midsentence and they all looked toward the carriage door. It was Sarah’s voice, just outside the carriage, and she did not sound happy. “Do you think she’s going to ride with us?” Elizabeth whispered. “Well, she did on the way here,” Harriet replied. Lady Sarah. In the carriage. Hugh was not sure he could imagine a more diabolical torture. “It’s here with your sisters or with Arthur and Rupert,” came the voice of Lady Pleinsworth. “I’m sorry but we just don’t have room in…” “I won’t get to sit with you,” Frances told Hugh apologetically. “They won’t all three fit on the other side.” Lady Sarah would be sitting next to him. Apparently there was a more diabolical torture. « Bunny and the Bear (Furry United Coalition #1) by Eve Langlais Paris Was the Place by Susan Conley with Giveaway » Edited Titles Gaele's bookshelf: editing-credit Solstice Heat by Jacqueline Paige Beltane Magic by Kira Johns Inseverable by Cecy Robson Of Flame and Light Crave Me Trouble in Texas by Jodi Vaughn Share book reviews and ratings with Gaele, and even join a book club on Goodreads.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line219

The design has been carefully detailed to be fully responsive to views, climate, and the urban context while addressing the need for modern high-density living that delivers generous amenities to its residents. The pinnacle of this project is placing priorities on opportunities for a lively and engaging public realm to support Kelowna’s goal of continuing to grow their downtown as a destination to live, work, shop, play, and learn. “We are thrilled to create an iconic landmark that speaks to the Okanagan Urban lifestyle,” says Don Kasian, president of Kasian Architecture. “We designed every detail of this project thinking about the people who will enjoy, use and live here. The sculptural tower forms and silhouettes are the signature view for One Water Street, and will become a recognizable element of the Kelowna skyline.” Anchored by a three-storey podium, the two towers of 36 and 29 storeys high are staggered to reflect the rugged mountain terrain in the near distance while optimizing breathtaking view of Lake Okanagan. A quarter mile of street-oriented retail and mixed-use wraps the podium, creating a successful walkable neighbourhood and elevating the pedestrian experience.

__label__cc	0.700055	0.299945	Home Bonus Content What Do You Want To Be In 2018? What Do You Want To Be In 2018? By LV Woman - As you think back on the past 12 months, what are you most proud of when you think of accomplishments and moments? What are the wins and discoveries that you can celebrate and acknowledge about yourself and in your life? How and when did you show up as the person and leader you most want to be remembered being? Where and when did you stumble or misstep? As a champion of people and possibilities, I spend a lot of time thinking about and talking about the intersection of leadership and legacy in and across lives. For me, I believe that each of us is a leader and that each moment is a new chance for us to move closer to—or farther away—from the legacy we say we want to create in our lives. As you look ahead to the coming year, I invite you to consider the following questions: What are the words you most want people to use when describing who you are as a leader? Why are these words important to you? How are you already living these words in your life? As you think about areas for improvement in 2018, what is one specific skill, practice or habit that, if you learned or developed it (or perhaps, just did it more consistently), could make a significant impact on the results that you create? How does this skill, practice or habit align with who you want to be as a leader? In terms of your legacy, what did you create in 2017? Was the legacy you created a legacy of design or a legacy of default? What, specifically, do you want your legacy to look like at the end of 2018? What will you need to do or prioritize differently in order to create this result? Finally, what are the stories or failures you need to rewrite or retire? What expectations or missteps are you holding onto that, if released, could free up important energy and potential to create an entirely different result? Who are the people you most need to forgive or champion differently? What would it look like for you to become a true and committed champion of yourself? In my life, I have learned that our legacy exists, lives and breathes in the moments and interactions of our lives. This year, be intentional and specific about the legacy you are creating. Allow you to be and become the highest and best version of yourself. Know that you will have failures, missteps and stumbles. These are part of our journey and the moments that follow can instantly become our best opportunities. Be gracious and forgiving toward yourself. Remember to champion and celebrate yourself and others along the way. I toast to your leadership and legacy! Tonya Twitchell is a champion of people and possibilities. In her work with individuals, teams, and corporations, Tonya provides training, coaching, and public speaking around the intersection and importance of leadership and legacy in and across our lives.

The classical pool boiling curve is a plot of heat flux, q'', versus excess temperature, ΔT = Tw − Tsat. As the value of the excess temperature increases, the curve traverses four different regimes: (1) natural or free convection, (2) nucleate boiling, (3) transition boiling, and (4) film boiling. Different experimental methods may be used to define the pool boiling curve; constant temperature control and constant heat flux control are the two most commonly cited. A typical boiling curve for saturated pool boiling of water at atmospheric pressure for a temperature-controlled environment is shown in Fig. 1. When the excess temperature ΔT is less than 5 °C, no bubbles form. Instead, heat is transferred from the solid surface to the bulk liquid via natural convection. Heat transfer coefficients in this regime can be calculated using the semi-empirical correlations for natural convection. When the excess temperature increases beyond 5 °C, the system enters the nucleate boiling regime – point A on Fig. 1. Vapor bubbles are generated at certain preferred locations on the heater surface called nucleation sites; these are often microscopic cavities or cracks on the solid surface. Nucleation occurs repeatedly from the same sites, indicating a causal link between bubble formation and some surface feature as well as the cyclical nature of the bubble-forming process. Small cavities and surface cracks act as sites for bubble generation because: (1) The contact area between the liquid and heating surface increases relative to a perfectly-smooth surface, so liquid trapped in these areas vaporizes first; and (2) The presence of trapped gases in such cracks creates liquid-vapor interfaces, which serve as sites where transfer of energy in the form of latent heat from the liquid to the vapor phase takes place. Once a vapor bubble has been initiated at a nucleation site, under the right conditions the bubble grows to a certain required diameter, detaches from the heating surface, and rises to the liquid free surface. If the excess temperature remains at the low end of the nucleate boiling regime, shown between points A and B of Fig. 1, each bubble generated can grow and detach from the surface independently – that is, without interaction between bubbles. As the bubble-generating process occurs at the active nucleation sites, the surface area between these sites retains the liquid-solid contact that characterizes the natural convection regime. Convection remains the primary mechanism of heat transfer in this so-called “isolated bubble” regime. As we shall see, however, the character of this convection is markedly different from that of the natural convection encountered at lower excess temperatures (ΔT < 5 °C for water). As the excess temperature increases beyond point B in Fig. 1, additional nucleation sites become active and more bubbles are generated. The higher density of bubbles leads to their interaction with each other. Bubbles from separate sites now merge to form columns and slugs of vapor, thus decreasing the overall contact area between the heating surface and the saturated liquid. Consequently, the slope of the boiling curve begins to decrease and the heat flux eventually reaches a maximum value, q''max, referred to as the critical heat flux. The critical heat flux, which marks the upper limit of the nucleate boiling regime, reaches a value of approximately 106 W/m2 for water at an excess temperature of about ΔTc = 30 °C. The nucleate boiling regime is most desirable for many industrial applications because of its high heat flux at relatively low levels of excess temperature (5 °C ≤ΔT≤30 °C for water). However, certain circumstances are required to avoid nucleate boiling, such as wicked heat pipes (Faghri, 1995). As the temperature increases beyond the critical heat flux point, the rate of bubble generation exceeds the rate of bubble detachment from the heater surface. Bubbles from an increasing number of sites merge to form continuous vapor films over portions of the surface, further decreasing the contact area between the heating surface and the saturated liquid. These vapor films are not stable, however: they can detach from the surface, leading to restoration of contact with the liquid and resumption of nucleate boiling. Under these unstable conditions, the surface temperature may fluctuate rapidly, so the excess temperature shown on the ΔT-axis of Fig 1 between points C and D should be regarded as an average value. Since the boiling in this regime combines unstable film with partial-nucleate boiling types, it is referred to as the region of transition boiling. When the excess temperature becomes high enough to sustain a stable vapor film, the heat flux reaches its minimum value, q''min. This point, known as the Leidenfrost temperature, marks the upper temperature limit of the transition boiling regime. At temperatures above the Leidenfrost temperature, the bulk liquid and the heating surface are completely separated by a stable vapor film, so boiling in this regime is known as film boiling. The phase change in film boiling occurs at a liquid-vapor interface, instead of directly on the surface, as in the case of nucleate boiling. Thermal energy from the heating surface reaches the liquid-vapor interface by convection in the vapor film as well as by direct radiation to the interface. In the film boiling regime, the surface heat flux becomes a monotonically increasing function of the excess temperature, because radiation heat transfer from the solid surface to the liquid plays a significant role at high surface temperature. Pool boiling continues in this regime until the surface temperature reaches the maximum allowable temperature of the heating surface (2042 K for platinum, for example). Beyond that point, the heating surface can melt in a potentially catastrophic failure. If protective insulation is provided, however, as in the case of refractory metals, for example, it is possible for film boiling heat flux to exceed the critical heat flux, q''max. The boiling curve presented in Fig. 1 and described above assumes that the surface temperature is independently controlled and that the heat flux is the dependent variable. However, direct control over the surface temperature is not always possible. For example, when electric heating provides thermal energy to the solid, the controllable parameter is heat flux. Surface temperature then becomes the dependent variable, and heat flux becomes the independent variable. If the experiment of gradually increasing the added thermal energy is repeated using constant heat flux instead of constant temperature control, the resulting boiling curve matches that of controlled-temperature up to the critical heat flux, q''max. When the surface heat flux is increased slightly above the critical heat flux, however, portion C-D-E of the boiling curve is bypassed and the surface temperature increases abruptly to point E of the stable film boiling regime (Nukiyama, 1934). This abrupt increase in surface temperature is undesirable because TE usually exceeds the melting point of the solid material. The critical heat flux can thus serve as the warning point above which burnout can occur; consequently, the critical point is sometimes referred to as the burnout point. If the pool boiling curve is defined by decreasing the controlled heat flux from an initial point in the film boiling regime (point E, for example), a characteristic identical to Fig 1 appears down to the point of minimum heat flux. After that point, a continued decrease of q'' yields a second hysteresis path that leads immediately to the nucleate boiling regime between points A and B. In this case, the transition boiling regime and a portion of the nucleate boiling regime are bypassed. Therefore, the transition regime that is observed when temperature control is used to define the pool boiling curve is unavailable in the controlled-heat-flux case.

__label__cc	0.557013	0.442987	Lieven Meyer lives, travels, and works between Quebec and Germany, where he participated in several shows. The experience of growing up in the 1980s in former East Berlin had a decisive impact on his practice and the nature of its content, initiating a critical and analytical approach that extends from traditional sculpture to video animations and processual sculpture-based performances. As part of an ongoing artistic investigation, Meyer develops visual solutions capable of exposing, subverting and ultimately neutralizing the contemporary expressions of new and subtle structures of control and power in their diverse public forms and manifestations. With training in academic drawing and painting (2000 - 2002, J. Schultz-Liebisch, Berlin), followed by a period of autodidactic practice in the North of Germany, he then enrolled in the sculpture department of the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel (2009 - 2013, Bildhauereiklasse Wagner, Kiel ^ ). After obtaining the BFA, he completed an MFA in visual arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal (2013 - 2016, with David Tomas ^ ). In January 2020, Meyer started to teach Sculpture in the visual arts programme of the École multidisciplinaire de l'image at UQO (Université du Québec en Outaouais). Project history (selection) Utique Spring (2019) Utique Spring, Sculpture Space, Utica, NY (2019) 4' x 8' x 1,5' concrete cast and approx. 70' copper pipe Located offsite, inside the bushes of a former boiler factory, Utique Spring marks a transhistorical space connecting two places with a paradigmatic relationship: Utica in upstate New York and the city from which it allegedly inherited its name, Utica (Utique) in today's Tunisia. Buried in the imperial past of an ancient colony in North Africa, the dystopian loop of Utique Spring encloses abandoned trees and branches in a para-archaeological form, but will sooner or later itself be enclosed and reshaped by them. Surrounded by 70' of popper pipe fragments, installed in various dimensions, the concrete pool shows negative imprints of ornamental design that stems from industrial architecture around Utica, NY. The two separate historic layers of both cities are not only superimposed by the (re-)use of the same name, but also folded up in the repetition of greco-roman codes that can be found in the ruins of both cities. Each city derives from superior naval powers, driven by expansion and growth. Eventually hit by economic decline and political destruction, their respective architectural patrimony has partially been transformed into cultural sites of symbolic value: The old boiler factory has turned into a center for sculptural production with an international art residency programme, while the ruins of ancient Utica attract tourists and researchers world wide.

__label__wiki	0.513911	0.513911	Clinton & Trump Failing At Fooling The Voters While News From NASA Offers Potential Escape Plan August 24, 2016 — Ron Chusid Regardless of what other surprises occur during this campaign, it is safe to predict that Hillary Clinton will not convince people she is not a crook, and Donald Trump will not convince people he is not xenophobic and racist. Among the worst consequences of Clinton being elected will be to see Democrats become the Republican Party of 2001. After opposing both neocon foreign policy and the “culture of corruption” under Bush, the Democratic Party now owns both with the nomination of Hillary Clinton. It is rather disappointing to see how many Democratic bloggers who criticized corruption under Bush find ways to rationalize actions they would have never tolerated under Republicans, and attack the media as opposed to those acting unethically. No, just because you think your party represents the good guys, this does not excuse such action. Less partisan sources are more critical of the latest revelations regarding the unethical relationships between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department revealed in the latest batch of emails and the AP’s review of the number of meetings Clinton had as Secretary of State with large donors to the Foundation. For example, USA Today called for the Clinton Foundation to be mothballed: Ending foreign and corporate contributions is a good step, but allowing them to continue at least through the first week of November looks more like an influence-peddling fire sale (Give while you still can!) than a newfound commitment to clean government. And the complex plan for allowing donations from U.S. citizens and permanent residents, keeping some parts of the Clinton Foundation alive, and maintaining scores of Clinton-family allies on the payroll is less an opportunity for a clean slate than a guarantee of new controversy. Yes, the Clinton Foundation supports many good works, notably the fight against HIV/AIDS. No, it is not “the most corrupt enterprise in political history,” as Donald Trump is calling it, nor is there enough evidence of potential criminality to warrant appointment of the special prosecutor Trump is seeking. But the only way to eliminate the odor surrounding the foundation is to wind it down and put it in mothballs, starting today, and transfer its important charitable work to another large American charity such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. If Hillary Clinton doesn’t support these steps, she boosts Trump’s farcical presidential campaign and, if she’s elected, opens herself up to the same kind of pay-to-play charges that she was subject to as secretary of State… When Clinton became secretary in 2009, new ethical quandaries arose that few people imagined at the time. She gave key State Department aides permission to work for the Clinton Foundation while they worked at State and drew paychecks from a Clinton-affiliated for-profit consulting firm. Emails from her private server reveal communications between foundation representatives and her aides about setting up meetings between America’s top diplomats and the Clinton Foundation’s top donors, including Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire. According to an Associated Press analysis of Clinton’s State Department calendars released so far, more than half the people outside of government she met with or spoke with on the phone as secretary of State had made pledges or donations to her family charity. Those 85 people donated as much as $156 million. The tabulation published Tuesday does not include the meetings and phone calls with representatives of 16 foreign governments that contributed as much as $170 million to the foundation. Should Clinton win, she’ll face an uphill battle to rebuild trust in government and find a way to get Washington working again. That task will be all the harder if millions of voters repulsed by Trump’s rhetoric and concerned with his volatile behavior find that his “Crooked Hillary” taunt had some substance in fact. While Clinton, enjoying a huge and possibly insurmountable lead, prefers to try to run out the clock and continues to avoid the press as much as possible, Donald Trump is trying to convince voters that he is not racist. Aaron Blake poked holes in Trump’s statement of regret for some of the things he has said and, Jonathan Chait pointed out that the one flaw in Trump’s plan is that he really is a racist: The main difficulty Trump faces in dispelling the impression that he is a racist is that Trump is, in fact, a gigantic racist. His first appearance in the New York Times came in the context of his being caught refusing to rent apartments to African-Americans. A former Trump employee has detailed a series of private racist statements and acts — saying “laziness is a trait in blacks,” objecting to black people working for him in accounting, his staff shooing black people off the casino floor when he arrived. Trump has replied that the comments were “probably true,” but berated the person who made them as a “loser.” He has questioned the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate, called him a “terrible student,” and implied he only made it into Harvard Law School due to affirmative action… Trump has spent more than a year identifying himself as the candidate of white-backlash politics, using his appeal to the most racially resentful Republicans to win the nomination. And now he’s running to Clinton’s left on criminal justice! Trump adviser Roger Stone tells the Post, “an entire generation of young black men are incarcerated” because of the 1994 bill. So African-Americans should instead vote for the candidate who literally called for “retribution” and an end to civil liberties. Does Trump’s campaign really think anybody is going to believe this? One of these dreadful candidates will win, with most voters hating the outcome regardless of how they vote. The one good news in this awful political year is that NASA announced finding a potentially habitable planet as close as Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our solar system. This might provide a potential escape route from an earth in which either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is President of the United States.

Born 1904 - Kilifarevo, Bulgaria, died May 28th 1925 - Belovo, Bulgaria. Born in Kilifarevo, Bulgaria on 14th August 1904, the student-actress Mariola Sirakova belonged to a well-off family. She revolted from an early age against her social background and became an anarchist communist when she went to the Girls High School at Tarnovo in 1919. She regularly took part in secret anarchist meetings. She began a relationship with another Bulgarian anarchist, Gueorgui Cheitanov. She associated with other important anarchists like Petar Maznev, Georgi Simeonov Popov, and others. In her frre time, she acted in the Orpheus Theatre Company in Kilifarevo. In 1922-23 she studied in Pleven. She often hid wanted anarchists like Vassil Popov and Valko Shankov In 1923 a military coup led to the butchery of 35,000 workers and peasants. The armed resistance that followed ended with the bomb attack by the Communist Party on Sofia cathedral which was aimed at the country's elite. A massive campaign of repression was then unleashed by the fascists and military against the revolutionary movement. Mariola was arrested by the police, and raped and brutally beaten. In June 1924 she returned to Kilifarevo. She was arrested again, but soon released. She gave support to the Kilifarevo cheta (armed guerilla unit), bringing them food, medicine and clothes and caring for the wounded. Special police detachments were set up to hunt Cheitanov down. All the guerrillas united into a single detachment, being forced to disperse towards the end of May. Cheitanov and Mariola Sirakova, were caught in an ambush and arrested. They were taken to Belovo railway station and shot with 12 other prisoners on May 28th June 1925. After her martyr's death, her younger brother Georgu carried on the struggle for anarchism and was imprisoned by the Communists in the concentration camp of Belene.

ENGLISH: German Onion, False Sea Onion, Pregnant Onion, Pregnant Onion Seeds CZECH (Čeština): Snědek ocasatý RUSSIAN (Русский): Альбука прицветниковая Description: Albuca bracteata, formerly known as Ornithogalum caudatum, is a peculiar bulbous plant often found among the collection of succulent fanciers, because of the green opalescent, exposed bulb with curious little bulblets that form on the bulb layers, causing 'pregnant' looking bumps until the layer sloughs off to reveal the bulblets. Inflorescences are spikes 70-90 cm tall, capped by small white fragrant flowers with green, central stripes, often produced in different seasons. This bulb is better-known in cultivation as "Pregnant Onions" or "False Sea Onion" and is used as a houseplant. Habit: Ornithogalum caudatum it is a rather curious bulbous plant and looks very similar to an onion. It a classic cryptophyte (with bulb-like stem) that dies back during the dry period of the Mediterranean climate. Bulbs: Sitting partially on top of the ground and cluster-forming, globose to ovoid, that and will reach 3-8 (-10) cm in diameter, smooth, tunics succulent, opalescent, pale apple-green, withering grey, exposing green live tissue. When larger produce bulbils on their sides. The pedicels of the numerous bulbils are unite with one another and with the face of the sheath of the succeding leaf. Roots: White, terete, succulent. Leaves: 5–8(-12) synanthous (with flowers and leaves appearing at the same time), rosulate, bases sheathing, strap-like and tapering to a slender point, ascending to curving, semi-succulent, flaccid, channelled, growing very long under ideal circumstances (20-)30-60(-100) cm in length, 20-50 mm broad low down. The leaves wither from the apex and droop. Inflorescence (raceme): Peduncle (scape), terete, erect, moderately stout, stiffly erect, 45-90 cm long. Pedicels ascending, the lower about 5 mm long (lengthening to 15-18 mm in fruit); bracts subulate-setaceous (filiform), from a broadening lanceolate base, the lower 12-40 mm long, projecting beyond the buds. Raceme moderately dense, 15-30 cm long. There may be as many as 50 to 100(-300) flowers per stalk. Flowers: Small, fragrant, white, with green, central stripes. Perianth stellate, white 8-12 mm long; segments (tepals) oblong, linear-elliptic, to 9 mm long 2.5 mm broad, white, with a distinct green keel. Stamens 3/4 the length of the perianth; filaments alternately lanceolate and quadrate at the base; style 3-4 mm long. Ovary globose. Fruit (capsule): Globose to ovate trigonous, to10 mm long 6 mm in diameter. Seeds: Oblong, angular, 4 x 1.5 mm, not crowded nor compressed . Blooming Time: Usually flower from May to August. Chromosome number: Albuca bracteata occours in different cytotypes 2n=54, 52. Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Albuca bracteata group Albuca bracteata (Thunb.) J.C.Manning & Goldblatt: has green opalescent, exposed bulb with curious little bulblets, causing 'pregnant' looking bumps until the layer sloughs off to reveal the bulblets. Distribution: Suoth Africa, KwaZulu-Natal, and widespread northwards into tropical East Africa. Ornithogalum caudatum Aiton: same as Albuca bracteata? distribution. Suoth Africa, KwaZulu-Natal, and widespread northwards into tropical East Africa. Ornithogalum caudatum f. compact Kowie River: Compact form. Distribution: Kowie River. Notes: This plant is also known as the "Pregnant Onion". The pregnant part is owed to its strange distinction of producing babies on the bulb scales that are visible as small bumps on the surface. To show off the ‘pregnancies,’ occasionally remove the papery outer layers and drying leaves. 1) J. G. Baker. “Flora of Tropical Africa”, Vol 7, page 421, 1898. 2) J. G.

Cultivation and Propagation: Albuca bracteata is an easy and adaptable plant to grow and it is well suited for containers growing happily in a pot for many years. It makes a good but odd houseplant or specimen. The albucas are increased naturally by the new bulbs. In general, they are plants of easy culture. Exposure: Prefers some direct sun but will scorch in hot, sunny, dry locations. Soil: In the greenhouse, use a suffice cactus soil with some peat (a soil that retains water yet drains well). Waterings: The plants are allowed to dry slightly in-between waterings. If the plants are allowed to dry too much, they will go dormant. The bulbs rest , leafless, during the dry summers of the Mediterranean climate, but can rest at any time of the year when water is suspended. Overwintering: During the winter months, the plants are allowed to go dormant and are stored in the cold storage until spring. Temperature: Reportedly hardy down to -5°C. Ethnobotanical/Economic Uses: Its crushed leaves when used as a poultice are an effective remedy for a number of ailments; for example, wrap around the neck to alleviate headaches and sore throats; for rheumatism apply to the painful areas and said to have healing effects similar to aloe vera. They are also efficacious in cases of blood poisoning, suppurations and serious insect stings. Also used as cooked syrup with rock candy against colds. Warning: Most parts of the plant are considered highly toxic. Contact dermatitis from the juicy sap can also be a problem for some people. The size and attractiveness of the little bulblets may pose a choking danger to children. In east Africa tribal groups recognized the toxicity of this plant. Propagation: Division, seeds, offsets (bulbils). Produces somatic embryos (bulbils) on the bulb scale tissue, visible as small bumps (pregnancies) on the surface of overlying bulb scales in mature specimens. These eventually fall off when outer scale layers disintegrate or split. After being shed, these root easily and begin new plants, often congesting the original plant unless moved to a new location or, as is very common, given away to unsuspecting fellow gardeners. For this reason, this plant is also a fun plant for grade-school projects. Copious seed is also produced and germinate easily. It is best to propagate seeds in the spring through summer in a mixture of moist peat and perlite. Cover the pot and plant with a plastic bag secured by a rubber band to prevent the moisture from escaping. Place in indirect sunlight or under a fluorescent light. Repot in its regular mix after it has been growing for a while. After dividing plant or removing offsets, pot it in its regular potting mix.

The center Collection of Russian Museum, Malaga, Spain. Photo Espana 2019 CLICK ON IMAGE FOR FULLSCREEN MODE INTRINSIC JOURNEY \| 2012 - 2017 An overview of the present visual boom gives the impression that people only just began looking around them, seeing and recording the visible... Suddenly they realised space is around them, everywhere. The spatial turning point of the humanities, with new visual disciplines, arts and techniques flashing up on a daily basis. Travelling through space is cheap, transport fast, nowhere is far away — mankind never hurtled around space like this before. Is it hard to see and record something in this flow? It’s hard. Too much caught my eye and got into the lens. Too many people are pressing the camera buttons. The hierarchy in culture has collapsed, the pyramid of the elect has fallen and crumbled, the fragments have rolled over the surface of the Earth. They have reached everyone. Once, I still remember it, my eyes noticed many things but they paid attention to selected items, sought them, recording only what was special, recognised and close at heart. At least, in a small radius. Only this had meaning and value. Photography was a craft, and an art. And they taught it to me too, as a geographer. They taught us to see, understand and record the landscape, as a scientist. Dmitry Lookianov takes pictures of living places. A landscape, a cultural landscape, where people live. Seems trivial at first sight, because everyone lives only in a landscape. But this is not at all true. There are things so familiar and so well implanted in our thinking, in the fabric of our consciousness, that it’s very hard to perceive them. In a landscape people usually see scenery, due to the experience of looking at paintings. They see whatever is special, extraordinary, scary, beautiful, striking, faces, verticals, scenes, monuments... Signs. They don’t see the landscape, they see the details that replace it. Inevitably according to mood and assessment. Following the template or destroying it. With admiration or horror. Loving or hating. Cutting the landscape into segments, sorting them, selecting, evaluating, decorating with perspective, technology and technique. Details have replaced the whole, ousted, banished and expelled this whole from our culture. The entirety of the landscape has been lost — it has become invisible. The landscape appears to us, presents itself as a phenomenon. Dividing the landscape into frames is like cutting a precious stone: the value is reduced, the beauty of a living crystal is replaced by the deathly beauty of a regular facet. Dmitry sees the landscape a whole. I would say that is how he understands it, but that’s for you to judge. He lets the phenomenon appear. He waits. This is the landscape, not its particular points. Its existence, not specific moments. The landscape is ordinary, like life itself. In Dmitry’s optics the landscape is alive and living. Dmitry doesn’t embellish this life, nor does he expose it. He is neither admiring nor indignant. All places are equal members of the inhabited earth’s surface. But by themselves and for a particular artist they are not equal. There are those through which more is visible. Semantically dense and through skilful optics — symbolic, focusing the meaning, colour, the shapes of many other places. Dmitry sees in the landscape what it really is — physicality, form, the combination of details, conflict, contrast, incompatibility, conjugacy, non-randomness. Regularity. Man and the traces of his life, prints, friendship or enmity of man and place. He sees contours, colours, light, sound and smell. He observes the landscape not as a scene ‘for’ something and not ‘for’ whatever this is; he observes the landscape as the fabric of life. In culture there have been dizzying inversions. The exotic has become commonplace. The unique features of the island of Bali are known, understood, recorded, shown, while the life of the landscape in our neighbourhood is incomprehensible and mysterious. Near and far have changed places. Nobody has actually seen the heart of Central Russia — they have seen Kamchatka; I speak with confidence, because I know both. The ordinary, everyday and nearby have become distant, exotic and rare. Dmitry photographs precisely these invisible rarities. The optics and poetics of the ordinary. When everyone makes up verses they believe to be poetry, and prose has become poetry.

"Uh-oh. Is that who I think it is?" "Yes Reverend Governor Mister, it is I, Frodo, Star Reporter of the SHIRE TIMES & CHRONICLE." "Aren't you the one that made toast of my friend Fred Thompson at one of these news briefings?" "Reverend Governor Mister, as the saying goes about the heat in the kitchen, . . ." "I understand. I assume you have a question for me?" "Yes Reverend Governor Mister, during the days leading up to the Florida Primary you stated that something specific should be done to expand the local economy. Can you recall that from your memory bank and perhaps apply that to the larger national economy. I can't seem to find where you've repeated that suggestion since. You know, it had to do with I-95?" "Uh, well, yes. I made the point that because of all the natural disasters striking Florida that housing values were dropping, and that insurance problems, and infrastructure needs meant that insufficient resources had been devoted to those concerns. The result being that traffic delays were increased, thereby even further hurting local businesses." "Oh yeah, thanks, that was it. So what is it that you proposed to do?" "The best way to reduce traffic is to create more access for automobiles, thereby lessening the concentration of traffic. Does that answer your question?" "No Reverend Governor Mister Huckabee, I believe you specifically suggested that Interstate 95 be widened by two lanes, and that the result would be less traffic backlog, and a concomitant increase in business in the local economy. Can you tell us how widening of I-95 would help the local economy? Are you suggesting that we could help the national economy if we widened I-95 by say, 10 lanes?" "Well, we do have some other people here who would like to ask questions. . ." "What would be gained by widening the damn road?" "I think, if we remain calm, we would like to study the suggestion to see if it would reduce traffic congestion and make driving into downtown Miami more palatable for shoppers." "Tell me Reverend Governor Mister, do you still eat squirrel?" "I believe that hunting is a constitutionally protected right under the Second Amendment. . ." "I read too, Reverend Governor Mister, but you are the one who told the story of how you used to heat-and-eat squirrel in a popcorn popper during your college days. What I asked is if you still eat squirrel? If so, how do you fix them? Do you boil them, or do you prefer fried?" "Squirrel has been a staple in Arkansas going back to pioneer days, and many of our States' residents consume these tasty. . ." "Rodents?" "I believe squirrels are so classified. . ." "By Science?" "Are you now changing subjects on me?" "Reverend Governor Mister, I could do this all day. Or are you ready to break for lunch? I'm wondering if all this discussion about food has made you hungry?" "An excellent suggestion Mr. Frodo." "Until the next time." Reverend Governor Mister Huckabee tugged at his shorts as he walked off the stage, and he whispered to Chuck Norris, who glared at Frodo. Frodo smiled and held up his copy of "Elmer Gantry." "Do you think you could get him to autograph this for me, Chuckles?"

__label__wiki	0.821231	0.821231	WHEN the ENGLISH INVADED, MOST AMERICANS WERE CATHOLICS, WHO SPOKE NORSE ARCHAEOLOGIST PATRICIA SUTHERLAND PAY ATTENTION! . "OTTAWA RESEARCHER'S FIRI NG DERAILS VIKING PROJECT . " . This wrong action may change the p... LOK MAP The Lok Map is evidence that thousands of Norse Catholics walked and several boats were crew- rowed to Norumbega before Columbus! ... THE LENAPE FIRST CONCLUSIONS were made in 1979 by twenty-seven of the best scholars on ancient America. * Their conclusions were: Norse were in North America 1,... WHEN THE ENGLISH INVADED ... NORSE WORDS COME TO AMERICA 500 YEARS BEFORE KING JAMES' BIBLE Hi, SASS members; I am Myron, .I have spent 17 years investigating where the 4,000 Scandinavians from Greenland went, when they left 18 churches behind in the 14th century. The brief answer is that they migrated to eastern North America. When the English invaded, most Americans spoke Norse. AD 1340-1585 People, who spoke NORSE, created the LENAPE History. The stanzas of the LENAPE History includes the name “LENAPE” several times. The LENAPE HISTORY is still on-line under the name of Part 3 of the “Walam Olum” in the SACRED SITES web site. (Parts 1 & 2 are Genesis through the flood.") The English destroyed most of the pictographs, but Rafinesque copied the last known set of pictographs. Moravian priests recorded the sounds associated with each pictograph. The sounds are Norse. John White painted a statue of a woman in North Carolina associated with the Norse name for “mother.” AD 1607 – 2017 The PATAVOMECK tribe spoke Norse when the English invaded Jamestown. They still speak Norse today. John Smith listed theEnglish “new names” with the “old names” he wrote into his book. (Scroll down in link to "New England.") The “old names” are Norse. The English were resetting history to their version of the NEW WORLD. Catholics and Norse were omitted. Supression by omission became institutionalized when the Protestant Sunday Schools became the model for the U.S. educational system. Copies of John Smith’s names are still on-line. (Scroll down to page iii) Roger Williams lived under the English censorship. The words “Catholic”, “Norse,” and “LENAPE” were to be omitted. So he wrote the Key into the American Language using Norse words and their meaning. He may have expected that some scholars in Europe would understand that the Americans spoke Norse. Roger did not expect that the English agents would censor all publications for a century to come. The Key into the American Language still exists. Reider T. Sherwin quoted Willams often as an example of NORSE words. Rafinesque published the LENAPEHistory. (See link above.) Brinton republishes the pictographs and stanzas in the book, The LENAPE and their LEGENDS. Sherwin used many of Brinton’s words as NORSE examples. Reider T. Sherwin published the VIKING and the RED MAN. The subtitle is “The OLD NORSE origin of the Algonquin Language.” The book has over 15,000 LENAPE=NORSE comparisons. The book was not filed correctly in the libraray system. Maybe the Library of Congress clerk did the action deliberately. Anyway, the book was filed in the dictionary section of most libraries, instead of in the linguistic section. Most libraries have purged the book as a little read volume. Today the pages of the VIKING and the Red Man are on-line in a DROPBOX. Most kids, today, using smart phones and computers, can find the Norse meaning of most American words But a teacher should tell kids the DROPBOX exists and where to look. Professors in every university should tell their students, who will become teachers, the same thing. The people speaking Old Norse named most things in eastern North America. They named most of the major rivers: The Mississippi, the Missori, the Ohio, the Tennesee, and more, including the Potomac, which means to "Pray to the good woman" (a.k.a. Mary). They named at least sixteeen states and three provinces of Canada. Canada is two Norse words "Kana(l) Da(l) meaning "Canal Valley." All states, but one, Louisiana, along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers have Norse names. The Norse named many large cities: Milwaukee, Chicago, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, shawnee, Miami, all three of them, and others. Norse names are found on old French maps for most of the Great Lakes. The Fench maps showed the name for "Christians" on the south shore of the "Christian Sea." When they won the Seven Years War, the English forced the map makers to replace the "Christian Sea" with the name "Hudson Bay." The English in Canada forced the Christians to be known as the Cree. The English forced a change of the name from the lake "of the PURE people" (a.k.a. Illinois) to Lake Michigan." The Norse meaning for "Michigan" is "Middle Sea Basin." Hundreds, if not thousands, of places ("-ing,"), of things situated at ("-sett"), of things admired ("-da"), and towns ("-ton")are still shown on North America maps. "-Ington" means "Place Town." There are more than enough examples of Norse words still in use in America to support the teaching of the mental model that, "When the English Invaded, most Americans spoke Norse." For four centuries the English have suppressed the fact that most Americans were speaking Norse. Most of us were taught to believe the Americans were speaking a language that did NOT come from the east side of the Atlantic. SASS members: You should understand the significance of every kid learning that "When the English invaded, The reality is that most kids, including us, did NOT learn those eight words because the English propaganda mill has ground on for four centuries. The institutionalized suppression by omission has deceived most of us. Most of the people in the world believe that the language of North America came from the west. Most Americans spoke Norse--a language from the east side of the Atlantic. There is much more evidence that a PAN NORTH ATLANTIC CULTURE existed. Because Billions of people, around the world believe the Americas cam from Asia, we, few, cannot, now, hope to stop the suppression by omission mill, which was started in the 17th century. But we can hope to start a nucleus of believers who will publish the paradigm: Most Americans spoke NORSE. If the Norse history paradigm conflicts with the English myth, let the kids figure it out. But BE SURE that NO information is suppressed by omission. Encourage your university faculty to support the fact that Posted by LENAPE LAND at 8:52 AM	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line296

__label__cc	0.6497	0.3503	The Nerds in Babeland Nerd Food Support Indie Artists & Local Comic Shops Posts tagged the massive Double Comic Review: The Massive Vol 2 & 3 by News on Shuffle in Comics This is going to be a double review of volumes 2 and 3 of The Massive. I know it’s a lot of material to go through but I have faith in you, gentle reader. It is rare that a series full of unfamiliar characters grips me so quickly as The Massive Vol.1 did, but from the first page I was hooked. That is why I am a little disappointed in myself for waiting so long to read the next chapters in the series. It was definitely worth it though, because what promised to be a very rewarding continuing story has proven to be just that. This second volume doesn’t catch the reader as quickly as the first volume did, but it does pick up fairly quickly. What I found intriguing was an early sequence where one of the main characters has clearly lost his trust in people “post-crash”. It held a striking resemblance for me to The Walking Dead, and how many people in that universe have found themselves being less trusting since the apocalypse. That’s not to say it felt like a rip-off of a popular series. I just find it interesting in general seeing how characters react in stories such as this where the world is different than we know it today. Something that The Walking Dead and other stories like it have taught us is that you have to be careful about who you trust. So while you are obviously excited about finding other seemingly good-natured humans post-crash, you should still exercise caution. That is why it should come as no surprise to anyone that Moksha Station, the supposed haven our crew finds in the middle of the ocean, isn’t everything it seems. Was Callum Israel right to initially have doubts about their possible new allies? That is what we explore in the first half of Vol 2. The second half is more of them chasing the fleeting signs of their sister ship The Massive in the hopes of finally recovering this lost vessel. It’s a gripping tale that you won’t want to miss. Vol 3 of the series continues the adventure with the search for the crewman that stole a nuclear sub in the previous volume. They track him down to Manhattan but come across other obstacles in the process. Oh, and of course we get more flashbacks in between the current ongoing action. This volume I definitely liked the first half better than the second. Not to say the second part wasn’t good, but the action slows down a bit and deviates from the main storyline for a side quest. I guess we needed it after how tense the first couple volumes have been but it still leaves you wanting more meat. Not whale meat though because people who kill whales for their meat are what Ninth Wave are trying to fight. Overall I would say definitely grab Vol 2 if you haven’t already (it was released in December) and then stay current with Vol 3 (which was released last month). There’s definitely a fourth volume in the works but it won’t be available for public consumption until January of next year. That just means you have plenty of time to play catch-up though. Enjoy! comics rev Dark Horse Comics the massive The Massive Vol 1 by News on Shuffle in Comics, Review “The Massive gives us a different, and essentially unique, take on the story of the end of the world. It doesn’t revel in destruction; when scenes describing the planetary crisis show up, they make clear that this was a true disaster, not a disaster movie. Millions have died, in dirty, tragic, and decidedly noncinematic ways. Instead, The Massive is a story of the necessity of resilience. While it leads us through the catastrophic aftermath of the Crash, we soon see that survival here is not the purpose in and of itself—it’s survival with the hope of making things better, even while recognizing that the old world’s legacies (in materials and ideolo-gies) yet remain.” This introduction to Volume 1 of “The Massive,” mirrors the thoughts I shared in my review of Issue #1 back in June (although decidedly with a gift for language I can only hope to one day touch). The only thing I added was how fantastic the artwork was. The superb attention to detail in both art and story continue with the rest of this first collection. One thing I loved about the first issue of “The Massive” was how the action starts immediately and the reader is thrown into a world where it doesn’t know the rules, but quickly learns. Never confusing, always intriguing, “The Massive” does a fantastic job of taking the reader on a journey through a post-apocalyptic world where two sister ships must find their way back together while also discovering the cause of the event known to us as “The Crash”. The story gets richer with each page, making the reader dive into a world that’s falling apart, bit by bit. As we learn about this world and the destruction it has already seen, we also slowly get to know the cast of characters and how they ended up in the situations we see them face from the beginning of our story. The transition back and forth from past to present keeps the story moving in ways much more interesting than if the author had simply said “this is what has happened, now to continue…” It not only helps with the steady flow of the story, it also engages the reader better than a straight timeline would. “The Massive: Vol 1” is a brilliant collection of stories that introduces you to a world of chaos and disorder. It gives you plenty to drag you into this world, while still leaving you wanting more. Just a little more… The Massive: Volume 1 is available now, so go ask about it at your local comic shop. Volume 2 will be available Dec 2013, and Volume 3 June 2014. Keep with it, because from what I’ve seen so far it promises to be a continuously good read. Apocalypse Brian Wood comic review Comics crash Dark Horse Comics survival the massive The Massive – Issue #1 The Massive #1 introduces us to a “post-war, post-crash, post-disaster, post-everything world;” where the Kapital and its crew members look for answers to the cause of “the Crash” while also hunting for their lost sister ship, the Massive. This world is brought to you by Dark Horse Comics and writer Brian Wood. The story is intense right from the word “GO,” which keeps the reader constantly interested in what will happen next to the cast of characters. That combined with the stunning artwork and colors, brought to you by Kristian Donaldson and Dave Stewart respectively, and you have plenty to stimulate your mind and keep you entertained. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail about the actual plot because I don’t want to include spoilers here, but I will tell you that it is definitely worth it to give Massive a chance at being included in your comic subscriptions list. You can pick a copy up from your local comic shop on June 13th.

__label__wiki	0.948671	0.948671	Panthers need pass rush to frustrate Titans offense by Lula Guzman \| November 04, 2019 \| 09:37 Which side are you getting in this article? "But whenever you shoot yourselves in the foot, it hurts a lot worse". Henry finished with 99 total yards and two touchdowns for the Titans (4-5) and averaged 4.8 yards per carry. The Titans defense been good all season allowing opponents to just 16.9 points per game. He did not return to the game and Vrabel did not have an update on the injury after the game. Luckily for Carolina, they have McCaffrey and one of the NFL's best takeaway defenses. To get a more in-depth look as to how this game turned out, check out our takeaways below. "We have to play better". Jones powered through the two Titans and then got some help from linebacker Andre Smith and defensive end Efe Obada to make it through for a five yard gain. The kicking game has cost the Titans early in the season. Running back Derrick Henry ran for 63 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, but he was quiet - and not utilized much - in the first half. The Panthers have recorded 10 interceptions thus far in 2019, tied for second in the National Football League, and often have given the ball back to the offense with favorable field position. The Tennessee Titans head to Carolina this Sunday for a match up with the Panthers after winning their last 2 games and going 2-0 with quarterback Ryan Tannehill under center. Speaking of McCaffrey, his 58-yard touchdown run up the gut is an honorable mention. A keynote for the Titans is they finally get their regular kicker Ryan Succop back from injury. McCaffrey said he heard the MVP chants even as he was shaking off the collision. It was a sign of things to come. Succop was wide left on a 43-yard field goal on the team's first possession, and the Titans were flagged for three penalties on the offensive line (two on Taylor Lewan, one on Nate Davis) to derail the team's second possession. The more that happens, the more the Panthers offense will struggle. "I take full responsibility". Rivera said it's a "gradual process" and "until we are told any different from the doctors we will continue to do what we've been doing". The Panthers don't know at the moment when, or if, quarterback Cam Newton will be back this season. The score was set up by an interception thrown by Tannehill that went off the hands of Titans receiver A.J. Brown. Offseason additions. In 2018, Mario Addison was the team's leading sacker with 9.0 and no other player had more than 5.0. We won't get on him for the missed 56-yarder at the end of the first half, but he did have attempts from 42 and 43 yards that both missed. Allen finished the day 17-of-32 for 232 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Mike Keith gives us this week's Titans Keys to the Game. "Unfortunately, we haven't reached that point". Beto O’Rourke Drops Out of 2020 Presidential Race He met with President Barack Obama, who saw in O'Rourke some of the same hopeful political style that he rode to the White House.

__label__wiki	0.725777	0.725777	CROSSING THE POND IN STYLE British Airways Redefines Luxury By Bailey Beckett Going across the pond.” It’s an affectionate term often used to describe the US-to-England journey, as if 3,400 miles of frigid sea did not separate the two. But it’s an appropriate phrase to use when talking about British Airways and its Club World service between the two great friends. The airline, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this summer, has perfected the Transatlantic experience, offering discerning and travel-weary passengers a flawless flight to and from Great Britain. As resident snob-in-chief, I recently surveyed the flight and present my “cross-the-pond” travelogue, written expertly in my Hermes diary. Standards, people. Standards. 3 am Who is making all that racket? Oh, it’s the alarm clock. 4:15 am A friendly text from Asad, my driver from Precision NY, a chauffeur and airport transfer service that will be taking me to JFK this morning. “Good morning,” the happy text reads. “I’m on location, so whenever you are ready, please let me know.” Glad to know someone is cheerful this early. 4:30 am Asad greets me at the door and expertly stows my baggage into the back of a sleek, shining black Lincoln MKT, the auto maker’s luxury SUV model. Chilled bottles of water, glossy magazines, large leather seats and a friendly driver makes the car service the perfect beginning of the journey. Info: precisioncarsnyc.com. 4:55 am Check in at the British Airways. I’m greeted by another cheerful morning person who tickets my reservation effortlessly, with no wait. I mention I’m doing a diary of my flight for BA’s 100th anniversary and her face lights up. “I’ve been with BA for 37 years!” she says enthusiastically. I look at her amazing morning skin and express my doubts at her age. “Well, I started at five years old,” she jokes. 5:15 am A whiz through security gets me to the BA Galleries Lounge in an instant, and I am dazzled at the renovation. The once tired looking space is now modern, sophisticated and, gasp, stylish after a $30 million facelift. Now 22,000 square feet, the lounge includes a granite topped Quaich Bar with a full range of wines and spirits; buffet of delicious hot and cold morning fare (the vanilla yogurt and granola is especially tasty); multiple rooms and areas to rest; flawless Wi-Fi sign in and speed; the day’s newspapers already spread out at 5 am; and fawning service by attendants who do everything but foot rubs. 7 am The flight is called. The walk from the Galleries to the gate is conveniently quick, and I’m delighted to see the renovation has extended to the whole terminal, which is pristine, easy to navigate and features a much better class of shopping. After a walk down the jetway I’m met by two flight attendants who greet me warmly and escort me to a flatbed recliner in Club World. The seats are among the largest in the business class category, with a width of 20 inches, length of six feet and a 180 inch recline. Configured in a 2-by-2 layout (your fellow passenger sits diagonal to you separated by a walled screen for privacy) passengers are afforded pillows and luxury linens by The White Company, as well as an amenity kit with all of life’s essentials. More resembling a pod, the seats also include plentiful bulkhead for storage space, as well as a private drawer for shoes and gadgets. 7:55 am The take-off is smooth and easy, barely noticeable. The plane reaches cruising level in no time, starting the 6.5-hour journey in style. 8:30 am The attendant comes to take my breakfast order. There’s plenty to indulge on the early morning menu: salmon with horseradish sauce and croissants. According to British Airways Chief Menu Designer Mark Tazzioli, there are 250 meals in rotation on all flights, including 18 regional selections for exotic destinations like China and India. The menus are created six months ahead, and sourcing local ingredients from England, like produce, cheeses like Croxton, English lamb and Aberdeen Angus beef is a priority. You can also order your meal 24 hours ahead. 8:35 am Nap time! I fold out the flat bed, unwrap my White Company mattress and sheets, put on my eye mask and take a short snooze 30,000 feet in the air. The bed is comfortable and sleep restful. When’s the last time you could say that aboard an airplane? 9:15 am Breakfast arrives and is perfection, served with shiny flatware, table cloth and my obligatory morning Diet Coke (one of many). The salmon was fresh and succulent, bursting with cold flavor. And the croissants were fluffy and buttery, as if they’d been baked in the galley behind. 9:45 am Begin searching for a movie from one of hundreds of in-flight entertainment options on British Airways. The headphones are unusually sharp and clear sounding, a welcome departure from most airlines’ inferior headsets. There are so many films—some just released—and it takes me a while to peruse the menu and find something to view. 9:50 am Flight attendant comes bearing gifts, err, gift: Glenlivet. Someone back there must be a mixologist because it’s just right: glittering rocks, a splash of water, heaven. “I’ll be seeing you again,” I wink at her. And I will. Because there’s a button in the console that summons her, providing you are friendly and respectful. Just how serious is BA about scotch? Even Bailey was impressed: the airline has partnered up with Scottish distiller InchDairnie to create a limited-edition whisky that will be debuted in 2031 for “World Whisky Day.” That’s 12 years of distilling, people. 12:30 pm With a little more than an hour left on the flight, the attendant asks if I’d like an end-of-flight snack: cakes, sandwiches, Cornish clotted cream, and English strawberry jam. According to BA’s Tazzioli, it’s the airlines most popular and signature meal. And for good reason! ichauffeur.com 7:30 pm Plane lands effortlessly at London Heathrow, and we are directed to Flying Club World which allows a fast passport/ immigration check-through Fast Pass; I’m through in less than 15 minutes. My bags await me on the conveyer belt, and am met soon after by a driver from iChauffeur who whisks me from Heathrow in a S-Class Mercedes to my first stay at the at The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park London (and later to Rosewood London). iChauffeur is considered the UK’s most elite car service, and has nine types of vehicles in its fleet, including the aforementioned Mercedes, as well as Bentley Mulsanne, Rolls-Royce Phantom and Range Rover Vogues and Autobiography.

Head Chef Harvey Ayliffe’s menu is based around the bespoke Argentine parilla grill, with a fine selection of beef, seasonal game, and fish and a diverse wine list. Info: 34-restaurant.co.uk. Located on the ground floor of 45 Park Lane, London’s smooth cool boutique hotel, Wolfgang Puck’s CUT is his first restaurant in Europe. Presenting a modern take on the classic American steak restaurant, it features the widest selection of beef available in London. The prices are steep—think nothing of a $240 Japanese Pure Wagyu Beef Kyushu Prefecture—but its sexy, intimate atmosphere will put a gloss to the bill (if that doesn’t work, then try a pan-roasted lobster and seasonal salads). Rivaling the menus is the scenery: leafy Hyde Park shines beyond the windows. Info: wolfgangpuck.com/dining.

Liverpool Confidential exclusively interviews Cannes hero Terence Davies during the making of his film Of Time And The City. <br>Words: Angie Sammons. Pix: Stephanie De Leng</b></p><p> Written by Angie Sammons. Published on May 27th 2008. “PEOPLE with no sense of humour have done a huge amount of damage in the world. Can you imagine Stalin telling you a joke?” Terence Davies, maker of some of the most anguished films ever to have seen the dark of day, is pondering this over breakfast eggs - “sunny side up” - in Room restaurant in Castle Street. times when I did feel terribly bitter. And that's no good. You just get eroded Stalin might have had his lighter moments, I venture. “Yes,” he bats right back, “did you hear the one about the Englishman, the Irishman and the Ukrainian?” Not for the first time, the master of tragedy is displaying his mastery of the witty riposte, and he has had plenty to smile about of late. Davies has been in town for the last nine months, and latterly in Cannes where his shoestring documentary, Of Time And The City, one of three cinematic commissions for Liverpool 2008, has been going down a storm. With its archive, monochrome footage (“we've seen every bit of film ever made about Liverpool,” says producer Roy Boulter) juxtaposed with fresh shots of the modern city, a wildly varying soundtrack and Davies' own Noel Coward-esque narration, Of Time And The City is poised to turn the Kensington-born director into the comeback kid after years in the cinematic wilderness. It has received rave critiques on the Riviera, with Time Out (to pluck just one from the posy of plaudits) declaring it “some kind of masterpiece” and the team behind it are still having difficulty taking it all in. But Davies, maker of the autobiographical Distant Voices, Still Lives and the lesser known Trilogy, also about his Liverpool upbringing, reveals that as far as his birthplace goes, this "eulogy" is positively his final act. "It is a farewell,” says the one-time bookkeeper (he left to find films and fortune in 1973). “A lot of my family are dying. The ties are becoming looser and looser.” He describes new Liverpool as an alien landscape, stays with his sister in Whiston, and yet “I always think of home as 18 Kensington Street, no matter where I am. From the ages of seven to 11 I was ecstatically happy there. For those four years, I was literally sick with happiness. “Then it went,” he adds flatly. “And I've never been happy since.” Davies is full of these stark and frank assertions. His traumatised childhood is well documented. One of nine children, his brutal father (played by Pete Postlethwaite in Distant Voices), a rag man, subjected his family to regular beatings. He died when the young Terence was starting to think he could cope with no more, and all the lights instantly went on in his world. “At seven, my father died and we began to live,” he says simply. “My mother began to get her hair done. She looked so beautiful when she did that.” Around then, Davies also ventured into the portals of the local picture house for the very first time: The film? Singing In The Rain). “It was a huge revelation,” he recalls. “I remember absolutely being bowled over and I couldn't stop crying. “And my sister said, 'what are you crying for?' And I said, 'Because he (Gene Kelly) seems so happy.' And for the first time I thought you could be happy. When my father was alive it was utter misery because he was psychotic. You were terrified all the time.” Then just as abruptly, when Davies was 11, the lights went off again. Davies recalls: “That summer between finishing primary school and starting secondary school was very hot and there was a big garage at the back of the street where I lived, called Smettles. And there were some men working in there making a wall, and they just had jeans on. No shirts. He pauses. “I didn't know what it was called, but it ruined my life. Just like that. He clicks his fingers. Almost as afterthought, he adds: “Then when I went to secondary school (Sacred Heart) I was beaten up every day for four years, which just destroys you.” Davies' new found homosexuality did not rest easily alongside his Catholic upbringing. He is celibate and calls his sexuality a curse. “I'm not religious. I don't do sex. I don't do rock and roll and I don't do drugs. So what's left? Typhoo?” he laughs. “I'm an absolute atheist, but I can't give up what was instilled in me as a child. It was the Jesuits who said give me the child and I'll show you the man, which is really sinister. You can't get away from it. I examine my motives all the time. You get fed up with it, this conscience constantly saying, 'have you done the right thing? No you have not done the right thing.' “But the penny didn't drop about God until I was 22, for God's sake. With everyone else it was 13. And, at 22, I thought 'Oh, it's a lie. Thank goodness!'" I'm not religious. I don't do sex. I don't do rock and roll and I don't do drugs. So what's left? Typhoo? Davies doesn't subscribe to the view that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger: “That was said by Nietzsche and he suffered from syphilis, so I'll take it with a pinch of salt,” he says with another camp guffaw. “I think it does something far worse: it fosters bitterness and there were times when I did feel terribly bitter. And that's no good. You just get eroded. “One day, about five or six years ago, I thought: I don't love my father, because I never could, but I don't hate him any more. It was extraordinary, I can tell you.” As much as he despised his father, Davies adored his mother, and it was a chance photo-shoot of her, not long before she died, that was to ultimately lead to Of Time And The City being made. Photographer-turned-film maker Sol Papadopoulos, who runs the Hope Street-based Hurricane Films with Roy Boulter (drummer in The Farm and a successful TV writer), called Davies up last year and asked him if he wanted to enter North West Vision's Digital Departures competition. “He said: 'Do you remember me?' and I said: 'Of course, you took some very beautiful pictures of my mother, which I still have. Although she was ill, I still think they are beautiful.'” But Davies said he wasn't interested in a proposed work of fiction. “I've done fiction,” he says. “I said what I would be interested in doing is a film about the Liverpool I knew, contrasting with Liverpool as it is now. And that's how it happened.” Next stop for Of Time And The City is the Edinburgh Festival. Next stop for Davies, who admits his view of life is "intrinsically tragic", is a comedy. Finally. It's about a ménage a trois at a fashion magazine. “I do love to make people laugh, and I do love to be made to laugh, because it's life affirming.” Amy's Back to Black strains in the background, and Davies tells me his life has never been a success. “I knew in my heart that it would be a struggle. Even as a child I was aware that moments of absolute ecstasy were going, even as I was experiencing them. "I need help," he says, "lots of help." Then with a grin. “That's what my therapist says anyway. “And even he hates my father now.” Of Time And The City plays Liverpool in October and goes on general UK release in November. www.oftimeandthecity.com 17 comments so far, continue the conversation, write a comment. AnonymousMay 27th 2008. i have dont hat him but i think that he could be a bit stronger in his faith, he annoyed me on his interview on the bbc two show culture show Reply To This... annonimousMay 27th 2008. oooh tom tallis whats upset you then??/?! very vitriolic if i may say so! say what u like about the priests. at least girls where safe around them. A wonderful sensive portrayal of a wonderful sensitive man. Can't wait to see the film either! Graham BandageMay 27th 2008. What a decent chap. If he were French or Swedish he would be properly regarded as an auteur. Because we don't do gloomy in this country, he's unfairly neglected. Good interview. mattieMay 27th 2008. Dont forget the Catholic priests responsible for sexual assaults upon little boys all over Liverpool. Mainly from Ireland, these repressed monsters were responsible for destroying the lives of a whole generation of school boys. Davies is right when he considers religion to be the product of sick and depraved perverts. Dave WoodMay 27th 2008. How I wish I could have met the man. A cracking interview Liverpool Confidential and thank you very much. Can't wait to see the movie. The movie trailer brought tears to my eyes. Like Davies, I've been away from Liverpool since 1978, but I've been up there almost every week due to my photography work (Liverpool Pictorial). I never meant to leave Liverpool, but I had to. The treatment me and our gang got from the Scouse hating Lancashire Constabulary Police was intolerable. Some of my mates were banged up in Risley Remand Centre because of getting fitted up by the bizzies, due to the sheer accumulation of offences they were arrested for. You can defend yourself if you were arrested for murder, but you can't if it's for Obstruction or Threatening Behaviour and that's what the Lancs bizzies took advantage of. Thank goodness the Liverpool Constabulary took over Canny Farm later on due to boundary changes! youngerthantwiggyanywayMay 27th 2008. I concur - the honesty and openness of Terence is truly touching and makes me want to share a typhoo with him. Well done Angie for this! he is a weak minded man and is very narrow minded London RoadMay 27th 2008. I agree. Things happen to all of us and at the time, they are often crushing and who has not been left bitter? It is easy to allow such wounds to turn into open sores, pouring out nothing that is good for us. Far harder to find the strength to turn away. That is the only way emotional healing can begin and we can reach some inner peace, essential in a cruel and unpredictable world.. Cannes DoMay 27th 2008. A great piece of writing that captures Davies perfectly. So good, I read it twice tom tallisMay 27th 2008. Davies again exploits the bane of political correctness. his homosexual view of the world and biased, self serving opinions on the Holy Catholic Church are sickening. Without Holy Mother Church, this wastrel would never have received any education at all. The wonders and marvels of God and His Angels are the stuff that informed this failed writer Davies to make these miserable films.He is despicable and should never be given the oxygen of publicity that his filthy little films demand.Disgusting, perverted and as damned as damned can be. Rusty SpikeMay 27th 2008. Just got to this terrific, sympathetic and insightful piece about Terence Davies and must say it captures the man, his mood and his views perfectly. Catholicism sure has a lot to answer for....like all religions...and thank goodness for the likes of Mr Davies. scousekrautMay 27th 2008. A nice interview this. Davies makes an important point about being bitter about the past eroding you. I agree. It holds you back. It serves no purpose in holding grudges or being bitter or feeling sorry for yourself. The past is the past and cannot be changed.Many people allow it to burden them and they cannot forgive and forget. It is not easy to do but it is an essential step in moving on in life. tommosMay 27th 2008. What the hell are u on about? Me mam was proud to be the house keeper for the parish priest. she worked from dawn to dusk for 33 years and served God and His priests faithfully right up to the day she died.Child molesters dont go to Heaven which is where every priest will go to. watching with interestMay 27th 2008. that tom phallis is hilarious please give him his own review spot. Erm...why Anonymous? Clearly Mr Davies feels 'The Faith' and 'The Church" damaged him...that goes for a lot of folk who were metaphorically - and physically - bludgeoned by the canons of the Catechism and the foot soldiers of Christianity...oops, I smell burning.... Its interesting that atheists and non-believers - who aren't all immoral evil individuals - don't promise everlasting fire, punishment and damnation for those who might have other persuasions.....

The time estimation of healthcare costs of patients with cancer is an important component in developing national programs and policies of cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and costs of hospitalization of patients with cancer who were admitted to a regional referral center of the eastern Iran. Methods: The present research was descriptive and had a cross-sectional and population-based design. It was conducted on all patients with cancer in a regional referral center in eastern Iran in 2018. The files of hospitalized cancer patients with disease codes of C0 to D48/9 and all patients who were admitted to the center for the treatment of cancer in 2018 and those who were discharged, were extracted and classified based on international codes of ICD10. Costs of the present study consisted of four categories including direct costs of cancer patients, direct costs of admission due to the cancer, direct outpatient costs, and indirect costs. Statistical data analysis was done by using criteria such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation through STATA Version 11. Results: During the study, 1467 cancer patients were referred to Omid Hospital of Mashhad. Among them, 49.9% were males and 50.1% were females. 183 patients were in age range of 56-60 years. The highest prevalence and hospitalization were related to cancer of gastrointestinal organs (36%), and the highest hospital cost belonged to cancers involving bone, cartilage and joints (51.855 USD). The total cost of treating cancer patients was 1074990 USD and the average cost of cancer patients was 73278 USD per patient. Hoteling with a portion of 28% comprised the highest cost. The patients’ share of out of pocket payment for treatment cost was 7% and the governmental share was 6%. The highest cost of treatment for cancer patients was paid by insurance companies (87%). Discussion: The research results indicated that cancer patients bore high direct and indirect costs during their treatment; hence, new policies for reducing costs in these cases are needed. The increasing number of cancer patients and their treatment costs requires the active participation of all responsible organizations along with continuing financial support by financial institutions such as banks or charities and the development of appropriate government policies on supporting these patients.

Attempted getting feed at: http://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KPDX.rss Covering the beat of Portland Public Schools without a contract." } Carole Smith’s First Budget: Where’s the Equity? February 27, 2008 by Steve Rawley I’m trying to see Carole Smith’s first budget in the best possible light. I know we don’t have the kind of funding needed to do things right. I also understand Smith’s desire to stabilize things. With those things considered, it’s nice to see a budget that doesn’t have any obvious cuts, and that actually adds some staffing to reduce kindergarten class sizes and restore some curriculum that was lost with the cuts of the ’90s and the switch to K-8. But if you refer back to the superintendent’s presentation to the school board February 11 (296 KB PDF), a couple of salient points stand out. First, we’re apparently going to “examine everything through the lens of race and equity” from here on out. Second, Smith quotes New Age business guru Meg Wheatley on integrity: “If we say one thing but do another, we create dissonance in the very space of the organization…What we lose when we fail to create consistent messages, when we fail to ‘walk our talk’ is not just personal integrity…we lose the partnership…that can help bring form and order to the organization.” My thought at the time was that she is setting the bar very high for herself. Either people concerned with equitable distribution of public investment are going to be incredibly pleased, or they’re being set up for incredible disappointment. So let’s examine her budget proposal through the lens of equity. Two things jump right out at me. We are going full steam ahead on K-8 conversions, without clarifying the purpose of this conversion, and while maintaining middle school options in some clusters and not in others. This means that we are going further down an inequitable path. The fact that the budget will pay for algebra and library books at K-8s does not make up for the fact these schools will continue to have a vastly reduced middle school curriculum compared to traditional middle schools. The additional funding for “enrichment” in K-8 schools, while mandating three units a week a week of art, dance, theater, world language, music, or PE, continues to leave us with a confusing patchwork of offerings, and perpetuates the existing inequities. Schools that have little or no enrichment will get some, but schools that already have it will get more. Requiring a prescribed amount of “enrichment,” chosen from a cafeteria of options by site administrators, perpetuates a system that effectively hides inequity. We need a core pre-K-12 curriculum in art, music and PE across the board, not at the discretion of site administrators. And no school should have more “enrichment” than another. We also need a comprehensive middle school option in every cluster, not just the wealthy ones. Was this proposed budget reviewed through the lens of equity? If so, I’m not seeing it. It is a fact that students affected by poverty need more investment, not less. Where in this budget are we investing in our poorest neighborhood schools? Why isn’t the extra “enrichment” money distributed in proportion to need rather than across the board? Why aren’t we guaranteeing free pre-K and full-day K to our poorest schools instead of maintaining the current patchwork? Will the budget include restoration of the music department at Jefferson High School, a putative arts magnet? Why aren’t we reopening Rose City Park instead of putting Madison cluster eighth graders at Madison High? I’ve got a lot more questions; these are just the start. I understand the budget process has just begun, and I’d like to be optimistic about our chances of moving toward equity. But I’m not seeing it in the first cut. Steve Rawley published PPS Equity from 2008 to 2010, when he moved his family out of the district. Time for a K-8 Moratorium? By now most of us are aware that completing the transition from K-5 and 6-8 to K-8 is one of Superintendent Carole Smith’s top priorities. I think the rationale is that things were left in chaos, and we need to get it right. But Terry Olson, who, like me, doesn’t think K-8 is necessarily a bad idea, thinks maybe we should put the brakes on the transition, rather than going full steam ahead. “The bottom line is that Portland rushed into school closure and reconfiguration without a well thought out plan for what was to follow,” writes Olson, a retired middle school teacher. “And, perhaps more importantly, without a clear understanding of what genuine school reform looks like.” It is obvious the process was not well conceived, planned or executed. I’m still confused about why we need to make this transition. Terry lays out some good things about K-8 schools. But these aren’t the reasons Vicki Phillips stated. Her rationale was to increase test scores and “enrichment” in the lower grades by economies of scale, i.e. the higher full-time-equivalent ratios made possible by larger schools. We now see those reasons are bunk. Portland Public Schools needs to clearly articulate the rationale for transitioning away from middle schools. And if any cluster gets to keep a comprehensive 6-8 option, all clusters should get this option. If equity is truly the overarching goal of Superintendent Smith’s administration, and if stability is truly important to her, this may be her first test. Can we cleanly and fairly finish the job Vicki Phillips started? Perhaps. But first we need to take stock of the situation at hand. Then, if we decide it really is the right thing for our district, we need to proactively design a process to move forward. The K-8 Transition We know that the completing the K-8 transition is one of the top priorities of Carole Smith. We all know that to date, the transition has been rocky. Many schools do not have space. Some comprehensive middle schools seem slated to be kept open, while some clusters, like Jefferson, have had all their middle schools either closed or converted (despite having one school without enough space to even add sixth grade). I was unable to attend the meeting last night at Rigler… Who went? How did it go? I’ve set up a forum for this topic, since it’s probably going to be a hot one for a while. Feel free to start new topics there, or leave comments here. Welcome Peninsula Community A big shout out and welcome to Nicole and the folks from the Peninsula and greater Roosevelt cluster communities. Nicole’s been posting over on the forum, with some good information about the sun school program and the 08-09 budget. I’m looking forward to learning more about the things they’ve got going on at Peninsula school. As far as I can tell, we all want the same thing: first-rate, equitable educational opportunities in every neighborhood and for every student in PPS. Saving our Facilities for the Future There is a concise, well-stated letter to the editor from Michael Wells in the Tribune this morning, with some common sense advice for Portland Public Schools. “It would be extremely shortsighted for the public schools to let property go, only to have to buy land in an inflated and crowded market in five, 10 or 20 years,” writes Wells, noting the “influx of 20- and 30-something professionals into our city.” I think Wells is right about there being a creative-class baby boom coming, and I don’t think the PSU demographic forecast accounts for this. And Wells is also right about where these people are settling: close-in east-side neighborhoods. Will the coming big facilities push be another land grab for developers, or will the district plan wisely and hold on to “surplus” property to account for future demographic growth? The PPS Equity Forum is There for You! I know the forum is a little intimidating to navigate, and a lot of people are shy about Internet communications. I know it’s a lot easier to jump into a discussion after it’s going than it is to be the first one to respond to a new topic, much less start a new topic. So I want to encourage those of you early adopters who have already signed up for the forum (there are 23 of you, not counting me) to not be shy about getting things going. I haven’t had time to really simplify things on the forum, but I think if you poke around, you’ll find things easy enough. The several forums are all listed on the front page. If you click on any one of them, you’ll see the topics in that forum (if there are any). You can click on a topic to see the posts on that topic, or you can start a new topic by clicking on “NEW TOPIC.” Nancy started a new topic today in the Jefferson Cluster Forum, announcing a survey about the Mayor’s week at Jefferson. She posted some of her responses. Good stuff. You can go there and click “POST REPLY” if you want to jump in. I started a “Meta Forum”, which is a forum about the forum. I’ve got some tips and information about using the forums, and you can ask questions or share your own ideas about the structure of the site there. Don’t be afraid of messing things up. I’m pretty good at fixing things if they break, and I’m not concerned about people being “on topic,” as long as they are respectful of one another. I know you all have opinions, and I know they don’t always line up 100% with mine. That’s why I created this site general and the forum in particular: so we can share our various view points and find common ground. Have at it! Wichita School Bond: It’s About Equity Neighborhood Schools Alliance founding member Lynn Schore sends along a column from the Wichita Eagle about the Wichita School District’s $350 million facilities bond. Metro columnist Mark McCormick describes a thirty year period, from 1970 to 2000, in which no new schools were built within the city’s Assigned Attendance Area (AAA), a predominately black area, but eight schools were built outside of it. The Wichita school board voted in January to end busing, and now they’ve got to actually build schools where students live. Portland Public Schools could take a lesson from the Wichita experience. Wichita’s busing is analogous to Portland’s open transfer enrollment policy. Both were designed to give black students access to equal educational opportunities, and both have led to massive divestment from poor and minority neighborhoods. Like in Wichita, Portland suffers continuous enrollment drain from lower-income neighborhoods, with the educational investment following students into whiter, wealthier neighborhoods. And like in Wichita, this has contributed to lower property values in our poorest neighborhoods. This constitues a form of theft from the least fortunate members of our society, well beyond the actual school funding dollars. “It has become fashionable to talk about busing as something that didn’t work,” said Wichita Branch NAACP President Kevin Myles to the Wichita school board Monday night. “Busing was never intended as a final solution.” Couldn’t we say the same about open transfer enrollment? While it might have given black kids a chance back when it was initially implemented as a means of desegregation, it clearly now has black and lower-income kids more segregated, and trapped in second-tier schools. “Open transfers” are effectively ending by default anyway. Who is going to bank on getting their kids into Alameda, Grant or Lincoln? Let’s be honest about why families transfer from one neighborhood school to another. It’s not because they want their children to have to commute across town. It’s because we don’t have equitable offerings in our poorest neighborhoods. The solution? Build it, and we will come. The facilities bond that is expected in November must be focused on rebuilding our poorest clusters to draw enrollment back, and it must be coupled with a focus on rebuilding the educational programs in those clusters. Then there will be no need for the neighborhood-to-neighborhood transfers that continue to divest millions from our poorest neighborhoods, robbing property value and educational opportunity from our poorest citizens to benefit the richest. Ivy Withdraws in a Surprise Move The Ivy Charter School organizers surprised everybody tonight by withdrawing their appeal at the very last minute, just as the school board was poised to debate and vote. In a legally questionable move, they intend to appeal directly to the state, before they’ve exhausted the formal appeal to the Portland Public Schools Board of Education. Even if the state accepts their appeal, they’ll find themselves in front of the PPS board again, where they’ve squandered a lot of good will. The withdrawal was centered around the board resolution’s enrollment limit of 120 students (half what the organizers wanted), intended to ameliorate the “adverse impact” the charter would have had on neighborhood school enrollment. The board resolution also stipulated that the school be sited in a quadrant of town that would lessen this impact, presumably some place other than North or Northeast Portland. I honestly had not read the board resolution until tonight, and didn’t fully understand that the charter school subcommittee of Ruth Adkins, Bobbie Regan and Trudy Sargent had put such strict conditions on the school. Kudos for them for placing the well-being of our neighborhood schools ahead of the needs of a charter. This proved to be the breaking point for this charter, and prevented a divisive debate and vote. Terry Olson also has more coverage of this over on his blog. The Upside and Downside of Charters February 11, 2008 by Peter Campbell I think most anti-charter folks don’t recognize the other side of the argument, i.e., what makes charters really compelling as alternatives to mainstream public schools. Not all charter proponents are minority-hating, low-income-people avoiding, union-busting demons out to feather their own nests. Charter critiques often overlook or do not acknowledge the progressive practices (e.g., student-centered instruction at many charters vs. teacher-led instruction at the majority of mainstream public schools, multiple forms of assessment vs. norm-based or multiple-choice assessments, democratically oriented school designs vs. top-down designs, more holistic, interdisciplinary curricula vs. a narrow range of subjects taught in isolation) that many charters engage in. According to the research I’ve done in PPS, Opal, Emerson, Trillium, and Portland Village all fall into some or most of these categories. Peter Campbell is a parent, educator, and activist, who served in a volunteer role for four years as the Missouri State Coordinator for FairTest before moving to Portland. He has taught multiple subjects and grade levels for over 20 years. He blogs at Transform Education. Week One Wrap-up Thank you to all who have read, responded to action alerts, commented on the blog, participated in the forum, and contributed articles. I knew we had a great community, and even though many of you have felt beat up and worn down over the past years, I’m inspired by your continuing work toward equity for all students in Portland Public Schools. In the first week of this site, there have been twelve blog posts with 47 comments. The forum now has 22 registered users, 16 topics and 59 posts. We’re getting regular traffic every day, even though Google still hasn’t given us the priority my old blog has. People at the district are reading; I’m seeing regular visits every day from PPS computers. I honestly believe we are on the verge of a new way of thinking about our school district, and we have allies in high administrative positions. Things change slowly in large bureaucracies, and we need to keep up the hard work. The school board and superintendent still need to hear from you, especially if they haven’t heard from you before. Thanks to everybody who is helping make equity in Portland Public Schools more than just a rallying cry. Together, we will make it a reality.

__label__cc	0.538707	0.461293	Don’t Cure, Prevent People on the radar Republic of the Marshall Islands Maritime Administrator recognizes Prevention at Sea’s electronic Oil Record Book (ɛ-ORB) Following a review of Prevention at Sea's ε-ORB software, the RMI Maritime Administrator has determined that the software may be used on-board RMI flagged ships to fulfill the requirements in section 7.41.2 of the RMI Maritime Regulations to maintain an Oil Record Book Part I and Part II. Since 2014, Prevention at Sea has been very active in software development in the maritime sector by winning multiple awards for innovation, especially with its Lloyd’s Register approved ε-ORB software, designed to be used for the preparation and printing of the traditional Oil Record Book. The approval of the ε-ORB software by the Marshall Islands is the latest addition to a long list of approvals by other major registries and authorities, offering the option for ships and related personnel to use the software to generate / print the ORB to act as their official traditional paper ORB. “We are proud to have won so many awards and flag registry approvals in such a short space of time,” said Petros Achtypis, CEO of Prevention at Sea. “Each Flag registry approval and recognition from the Industry strengthens the fact that our system has proved its worth by saving ship operators and managers time and money as it is easy to use and helps eliminate oil record book errors and the risk of PSC fines, making the whole system transparent, credible and traceable,” he added.

Warner Brothers. Director: Danny DeVito. Cast: Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, Danny DeVito, Jon Stewart. Though eluding the unofficial Hollywood policy against pitch black comedy, Danny DeVito's twisted vision of Death to Smoochy succumbs to a much worse pitfall: an underdeveloped script. Adam Resnick's screenplay is a couple of drafts short of a winner, but DeVito gets considerable mileage nonetheless with his directorial chutzpah and hardworking cast. Too often, the strain of that hard work is evident in the performances of Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, and the eternally riffing Robin Williams. Top-billed Williams plays Rainbow Randolph, a children's TV host (sardonically dolled up like Williams's beatific toymaker from Toys) quickly dispatched from his job when caught in a sketchily defined kiddie payola scheme. The central figure is Norton as Sheldon Mopes (a.k.a. Smoochy), Randolph's Earth-day-poster-boy replacement (Norton adds his off-and-on Woody Harrelson impression to the movie's so-inside ouevre of jokes). Keener's Nora Wells heads up the managerial suits responsible for maintaining ratings in the money slot on Kidnet by installing Mopes and treating him as clueless on-camera "talent." In the rags-to-foam process of becoming the show's highly-paid executive producer and star, Mopes "befriends" a slimy agent (De Vito) and alienates Randolph, Wells, and in one of the film's best conceits, an organized crime syndicate operating under the name "Parade of Hope." Norton is amusing enough, though the script leaves him with few zingers, while Williams's crazy asshole routine connects, but wears thin. DeVito is confidentally funny, and Rispoli is uncharacteristically irresistable as a punch-drunk ex-boxer propped up by the Irish mafia. It's Keener who fares worst in a clichéd ice-queen-warms-up part which, again, mostly lacks the laugh lines. Sometimes DeVito's flourishes score laughs in spite of the lazy script, such as the early scene in which a board of directors looms over Jon Stewart's exec--in a succession of perspective shots--like a panel of Gandalfs dwarfing Bilbo Baggins, or a dance sequence that plays like Williams's demented audition for a Billy Elliot sequel. Unfortunately, audiences may get the unshakeable feeling, as I did, that Resnick had written the wrong scenes, offering no more than a glimpse of Randolph's reign and foregoing genuine character development (both Wells and Randoph turn on dimes) in favor of redundant and obvious scenes of Randolph's mania and Mopes's goodhearted schlubbery. Perhaps Smoochy's worst disapointment is its something-borrowed, something-purple attitude. Barney and Pee-Wee are somewhat musty targets, and besides, The Simpsons has definitively skewered the Romper Room set with its foul-mouthed, chain-smoking Krusty the Clown and homicidal Sideshow Bob. Props to Resnick and DeVito for not scrimping on the gallows humor, to Elvis Stojko for choreographing for a rhino on ice, and to the cast for a whole lot of compensatory energy, but unfortunately, Death to Smoochy is funny in fits more than starts.

__label__wiki	0.680776	0.680776	In a recent New York Times op-ed, Geoffrey R. Stone, of the University of Chicago, called attention to the disingenuousness of the argument that judges—in particular, Supreme Court justices—are ever merely implementing the “original meaning” of the Constitution. Indeed, every time a pundit or a politician advocates for the appointment of judges who will “strictly construe” the Constitution, we should remember there is not a judge on the Court—now or ever—who did not believe he or she was not strictly construing the Constitution. Whether a commentator agrees likely has as much to do with his or her feelings about the result as it does the methodology the judge employed to determine the meaning of the Constitution. We will have another opportunity to revisit these issues when President Obama announces his nomination of a successor to Justice John Paul Stevens. He has said, as Presidents do, that he has no litmus test for potential nominees. At this writing, two federal court judges—Merrick Garland of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and Diane Wood of the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit—as well as the Solicitor General, Elena Kagan, have been named as the leading candidates. Each of these attorneys attended an elite law school, clerked for a U.S. Supreme Court justice, and has had a storied legal career. Garland is a former federal prosecutor whom President Clinton nominated for the bench in 1997. Wood is a former law professor and lawyer in the Clinton Justice Department; President Clinton nominated her for the bench in 1995. Kagan worked as a lawyer in the Clinton administration and was dean at Harvard Law School before assuming the Solicitor General’s post. As Timothy Egan, writing in the New York Times, recently noted, and as Renée Landers and I discussed in Jurist following the nomination of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, debates about strict construction and litmus tests aside, the Supreme Court is sorely lacking in diversity of experience. With the retirement of David Souter last year, there is no justice on the Court with significant experience in state government. With Justice Stevens’s retirement, there is no justice who did not attend either Harvard or Yale for law school, and none who has not spent a significant part of his or her career working in either academia or for the federal Of the three leading candidates, only Judge Wood was educated outside of the northeast, having attended the University of Texas for college and law school. Why is this important? Because, when all the justices share similar educational and professional experiences, the Court as a whole may be missing legal perspectives informed by, say, the experience of having attended a law school where doctrine is as important as theory, or of having worked in private practice or in a state court system, where most American lawyers spend their days and most cases, civil and criminal, are tried. “In the end,” as Professor Landers and I wrote last year, “by confining the shortlist of potential nominees to those lawyers with certain backgrounds, Presidents overlook the opportunity to add to the Supreme Court another kind of diversity, one that may be just as important as racial and gender diversity. These Presidents deprive the public of justices who may see the world and the legal issues it presents in ways that are different and more helpful than those justices whose views on the law were shaped by essentially similar educational and professional experiences.” Labels: Friedman, Nominations, U.S. Supreme Court	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line344

As an added bonus, the foliage turns a gorgeous yellow in the fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. Hay-Scented Fern is an herbaceous evergreen fern with a shapely form and gracefully arching fronds. It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It has no significant negative characteristics. Hay-Scented Fern is recommended for the following landscape applications; Hay-Scented Fern will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As this plant tends to go dormant in summer, it is best interplanted with late-season bloomers to hide the dying foliage. This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for acidic soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone over the growing season to conserve soil moisture. This species is native to parts of North America. It can be propagated by division. All prices are in USD. © 2020 Skillins Greenhouses	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line352

Early life and family 1 Early life and family Rufus Choate was born in Joseph Hodges Choate. Rufus Choate's birthplace, Choate House, remains virtually unchanged to this day. A precocious child, at six he is said to have been able to repeat large parts of the Bible and of Pilgrim's Progress from memory. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa[2] and graduated as valedictorian of his class at Dartmouth College in 1819, was a tutor there in 1819–1820, spent a year in the law school of Harvard University, receiving the LL.D. degree in 1845. Choate studied for a like period in Washington, D.C., in the office of William Wirt, then Attorney General of the United States. Rufus Choate memorial statue by noted American sculptor Daniel Chester French, John Adams Court House, Boston, Massachusetts He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1823 and practiced at what was later South Danvers (now Peabody) for five years, during which time he served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives (1825–1826) and in the Massachusetts Senate (1827). In 1828, he moved to Salem, where his successful conduct of several important lawsuits brought him prominently into public notice. In 1830 he was elected to Congress as a Whig from Salem, defeating the Jacksonian candidate for re-election, Benjamin Crowninshield, a former United States Secretary of the Navy, and in 1832 he was re-elected. His career in Congress was marked by a speech in defence of a protective tariff. Choate lived on Winthrop Place, Boston, 1851-1859[3] In 1834, before the completion of his second term, he resigned and established himself in the practice of law in Boston. Already his reputation as a speaker had spread beyond New England, and he was much sought after as an orator for public occasions. For several years, he devoted himself unremittingly to his profession but, in 1841, succeeded fellow Dartmouth graduate Daniel Webster in the United States Senate. Shortly afterwards he delivered an address at the memorial services for President William Henry Harrison at Faneuil Hall. In the Senate, he spoke on the tariff, the Oregon boundary, in favor of the Fiscal Bank Act, and in opposition to the annexation of Texas. On Webster's re-election to the Senate in 1845, Choate resumed his law practice. He later served a short term as attorney-general of Massachusetts in 1853–1854. In 1846, Choate convinced a jury that the accused, Albert Tirrell, did not cut the throat of his lover, or, if he did so, he did it while sleepwalking, under the 'insanity of sleep'.[4] His successful use of sleepwalking as a defense against murder charges was the first time in American legal history this defense was successful in a murder prosecution.[5] He was a faithful supporter of Webster's policy as declared in the latter's Seventh of March Speech of 1850 and labored to secure for him the presidential nomination at the Whig national convention in 1852. In 1853, he was a member of the state constitutional convention. In 1856, he refused to follow most of his former Whig associates into the Republican Party and gave his support to Democrat James Buchanan, whom he considered the representative of a national instead of a sectional party. In July 1859 failing health led him to seek rest in a trip to Europe, but he died on July 13, 1859 at Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he had been put ashore when it was seen that he probably could not last the voyage across the Atlantic.

__label__wiki	0.549741	0.549741	A quick review of last night's "Big Love" season finale coming up just as soon as I try on the dress you picked out for yourself... "You sad, stupid man." -Marilyn Densham There are several moments in "End of Days" where Bill is confronted with the hypocrisy, selfishness and destructiveness of his actions, first by Don, then by Marilyn, then by Barb. Considering what a monster the character has become, these should be satisfying moments of reckoning. But they're not, because Bill Henrickson is so lacking in any kind of self-awareness, so consumed with a belief system that, as Marilyn notes, is really "just another excuse for f--king around," that he's incapable of feeling shame or remorse. It doesn't matter if the wake-up call is coming from a hated enemy like Marilyn, or the best friend Bill betrayed, or his #1 wife - Bill had a testimony, and he's going to follow that no matter who gets hurt in the process, end scene. And while I've been known to obsess on TV shows with reprehensible main characters who are incapable of learning or changing (Tony Soprano, to name one), those shows came with charismatic actors in those roles, and/or such assured storytelling around the anti-hero that I accepted the lack of growth as the price of admission. But as played by Bill Paxton, Bill is an incredibly bland and opaque main character. And as we've discussed in many previous weeks, the show's storytelling this year has become such a ridiculous mess - trying to stuff what felt like three seasons worth of plot and character arcs into a 9-episode bag - that I'm finding it hard to care about any of it. The acting by many of the female castmembers (here the wives plus Melora Walters as Wanda and Mary Kay Place as Adaleen) is still great, even if the characters' journeys only sometimes make sense (Nicki's arc, in particular, was all over the map this year). That, plus my vague curiosity at seeing how much ruin descends on the family now that Bill has stupidly come out of the closet, may keep me watching through gritted teeth next season. But this year was a pretty spectacular creative failure, and I hope the creative team is more capable of learning from its mistakes than Bill is. Labels: Big Love Jeff Polman said... Right on the money, Alan. Worst season BY FAR. There were so many plot ropes that they strangled each other to death. (What the hell was Sissy Spacek's character ever up to?) Might have to re-watch the wonderful "Come Ye Saints" from last year to clear my head. Ken Raining said... You could not be more right about this show. I've never been more than lukewarm about it (and only continue to watch it because my wife does), but this season was an epic failure. I am glad, at least, that they did have the balls to have Bill follow through on his promise to reveal himself as a polygamist, because to not do so would have been a huge copout. However, the whole "Bill running for State Senate" thing has been such a ludicrous premise... a man with the skeletons in the closet that Bill has, not to mention the enemies that would love to take him down, would never get close to election day. You're right, he's not one of those HBO "bad people that are somehow still likable"; he's just an ass. Ugh, what a train wreck this season was, and unfortunately the finale went back to the well of frying-pan-in-the-face excess that I hoped it had gotten out of its system when Lois chopped off Hollis Greene's arm as if he were made out of Silly Putty. For an example from the finale, is there anyone associated with Juniper Creek who is capable of dealing with a problem without getting murderous? Anyone? I gather that Adelade set JJ and his wife on fire, but I couldn't tell for sure because my eyes were rolling. I really hope that the producers and writers do some soul searching this year and rethink what they seem to want out of Big Love. It would be lovely to think that next season could be smaller and quieter, with a focus on what it takes to make a family like the Henricksens work, but that would hardly seem to be in the cards based on the finale. If that's the case, then I hope they'll at least try to keep their ambitions more in line with what can be realistically accomplished in ten episodes (which I understand is what the length of next season will be). Did anyone catch Amanda Seyfried on the E! red carpet pre oscar show? When asked why she left BL she inferred that the plotlines were just too crazy and she no longer wanted to be on the sinking ship. She seemed really sweet by not wanting to say anything bad about the show but you could tell what she was saying without her actually saying it. All I have to say about the finale is I am glad it is over. I feel like I survived! I hope that the show can pick itself up, brush itself off and start over next season. Spot on Alan, and, unlike you, I've been a supporter of this show's many virtues --until this season. To have a main character who is so thoroughly despicable, selfish, perhaps sociopathic could only work if he was as dynamic -- and flawed -- as a Tony Soprano, or one of my favorites, Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad, both eminently watchable, giving surprisng performances. And that Bill, no matter what he does, never faces -- and is never changed by -- the consequences of his bad acts weakens the story, further alienates me. Cranston's character knows he's lost his moral center, sees his life spin out of control -- and he began his unlikely quest as a drug maker to save his family from ruin after his death, which is another key difference -- Bill's quest has been purely selfish all the way. As a woman, watching this finale make me feel like another abused sister wife. Barb and Margene have both become strong, autonomous characters -- so why don't they leave Bill up on that stage? He's just napalmed their lives; now, I kept screaming, this is your chance. Poor Nicki's just all over the place; a mini-skirt is not self-affirming, and her sudden "love" for bill smacks of despair. What a mess, and I don't think I care to see where the action picks up next year, because despite all the frenetic activity this season, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. And too many great characters, like Tommy, were merely props to toss away. Too much waste, the Juniper Creek hijinks wearing thin, not enough satisfaction. Shame on the creators of this show; they've squandered a lot of good will this season. Oh Lord,where to start. I don't think since the last season of Roseanne,I have seen a show lose it's way creatively from one season to the next. I was watching this on Tivo last night and couldn't believe what I seeing. I kept thinking,this is a joke right? And who from HBO watched this and said "yeah looks great"? They should be fired. I know this sounds silly,but they should seriously consider this as a "dream" season. Let Margene or Teeny wake up and say "You won't believe this nightmare I just had" And the big question,where do they go from here? The premise the series was built on is gone. There is no conflict. Just more screaming and characters completely directionless. An embarassing mess. Elinor Ferrars said... I have to disagree. I enjoyed this season, though I found it the most thoroughly depressing one so far. Bill Paxton has taken the self-righteous, faith-obsessed, sexist, power-mad polygamist dad to a new level of despicable. And he's always the hero. Love all the wives' stories, they're like watching a multi-car pileup. Some of it is completely unbelievable, but that's kinda what I look for in good tv. Thanks for your posts, Alan! Laurel, I saw Amanda Seyfried on E. She did her best not to sound overly negative, but I got the impression it was because her character didn't play a big enough role. KrisMrsBBradley said... Though it was all smashed in together with too few episodes, I enjoyed the show this season. Maybe it's a little out there, but a lot of cable shows are. And I'd just like to add that I totally called the whole JJ sperminating everyone thing last week, lol! Though it ended up being a bit creepier than even I thought it would be! I completely agree, but I still sort-of respect the show for being so balls-out crazy that they were not only slightly mediocre, they really accomplished a fiasco this season. And you know what, I'd rather watch a show where the really fail in a spectacular way than a show were the writers are really not trying anymore. Here's hoping they go equally balls-out next season, just dial down the terrible. I think my problem with the Bill character is that he just seems so incredibly vacant. It's not just that he doesn't stop to consider the consequences of his actions, but I get the sense that he's not even really capable of comprehending them. My feeling at the end of the finale was "We waited all season for THAT?" I guess I'm glad they actually went through with the coming out, but I'm not really sure where the story goes from here. First of all, in real life Bill would immediately be impeached and tossed out of office, but I doubt the show will go that route. In general I just think having the family go public changes the entire tone of the series, and not for the better. The show has always been at its best when it focuses on the minutae of the family's complicated living situation. Having things taken to a grander scale where they have to deal with public scrutiny not only seems like something beyond the original premise of the show, but something the show isn't all that well-equipped to deal with. I also think the JJ storyline was a total misfire. Maybe it would have been intriguing if we'd had any hint all season long where it was going. Instead they dragged out all the revelations until the last possible minute. The writers said they wanted to tackle the incest angle, which is fine, but they didn't really seem to tackle it so much as use for shock value for the finale. I kind of doubt we'll see any of the fallout or repercussions of it next season since the show clearly doesn't care about the actual psychological and societal implications of such a scheme and is just interested in over the top twists like Adalene setting JJ and wife on fire. (A major wtf moment.) Elinor, I am glad to get someone else's take on that. She did say that her character didn't get enough to do, but it seemed to me like there was more to it because she made a comment about how crazy the show was this season. Maybe I am projecting my feelings onto her!! Finale was a mess like the entire season has been, but there was some good moments buried in there. I think Barb decided to stay for Nicki and Margene, even though she's had enough of Bill. I'm basing that on the hair braid cutting scene, and its too bad they didn't have time to explain it better. But its an interesting development for Barb's character (especially at a time when Nicki wants to usurp her and Margene may jump ship to another multi-wife family) and made me realize that buried under all the nonsense this season had yet another strong arc for Barb. Too bad they wasted so much time on the other crap. KronicFatigue said... The writers had two interesting ideas for this season, but executed them in the most ridiculous ways. First, Bill becoming his father by kicking out Ben only to find redemption could have been interesting. But instead, they had Margene hit on Ben, Ben run away to Mexico, get kidnapped and caged in an ostrage pen, and then be saved when his grandmother cuts off Hollis' arm. Yikes. Similarly, Bill decide to intentionally expose his family is interesting, but the whole idea of running for office is absurd. How will being a politician protect him? His Casino and Home Depot business can be boycotted/bankrupted still. Ugh, forget it, this show made no sense and it's not even worth thinking about. Do you think any of this would have been better had they had more time? Say 13 episodes? Or was it the writing as a whole? Regardless of the actor's reasons for leaving, I do think it made sense, character-wise, for Sarah to get the hell out of Utah and away from Bill. For me, that was the most satisfying development all season. I imagine a very happy fictional life for her in Portland. I don't understand why the writers had such small ambitions for Bill this season. If I was in the writers room I would have pushed to have Bill run for President. Meanwhile, it would be revealed that JJ was impregnating women not just in Kansas but across the country for decades. So much so that Bill would win enough electoral votes to be our first plural marriage pres. janiejones said... I agree with all sentiments especially Anon 1:28. The comparison of feeling like an abused wife via Bill was well written. I have felt like my personality and intelligence was stomped on while watching Big Love this season during that hour. It's disheartening when you realize a show can dig deep and instead comes up with ridiculous story lines of large proportions. Alan, your description of Bill as bland and opaque rang crystal clear. The show had opportunities galore to take some or a few of the issues and explore them within 9 episodes. Instead we were given a train off of it's tracks. Not that it would have redeemed the season but if Barb had left Bill, I would have felt some type of satisfaction. Major disappointment.....could vie for the biggest in television for the year for me. If I revive the Festivus column this year (it took last year off), I know what's gonna be at the top of the list... Comment never appeared... Argh...just like this season except I wrote it more succintly and with a bit of critical thought. I agree with Alan's assessment along with many. My intelligence felt a bit insulted as the season progressed. This season of Big Love could vie for my most disappointing show of the year. The show has come off the tracks, jumped the shark etc..The only good thing I can say is how stunning did Chloe look last night in the courthuse scenes. The straight hair look is a great look for her. Did forget to mention that the closing shots of the family holding hands in front of the hushed, emptying audience with the wind blowing across the podium as if from heaven itself was a haunting and very powerful moment. The Chancellor said... I have to agree with Alan and the majority of commenters that this season was pretty much a flop. That said, I'm hopeful that the last few mintutes of the season finale, with Bill saying to Barb, "...we're off the tracks...," before we see Bill and the wives standing alone together, that we'll see a creative arc next season focused on how the family deals with going public, rather than the casino, Juniper Creek, Albie's sexuality, Ciudad Green, etc., etc., etc. If that's the case, the characters we're most invested in can take center stage, and there's certainly no shortage of stories to tell there. TheFoo said... This season was just a mess. The fact that they start a casino and they don't have enough to write about with that and all the issues that could/would come up with that, they had to go and have Bill run for office. I love that Barb finally stood up to Bill on the fact that she doesn't need him anymore and that this isn't the life she wants is very big, but they didn't do anything with that. Fine she said it and oh well. I used to love this show, but only watched sporadically this year due to the ridiculousness of the storylines (my husband continues to watch it every week). All season-long, I've been asking how Bill running for office furthers his goals (or the goals of the show's creative team, whatever those may be). Last night, my husband and I agreed: having Bill "come out" at his victory celebration just proved how stupid he (and the writers) are. The results of the election haven't been certified, the voters are going to cry voter fraud, and Bill is never even going to take office. So what was the point? Like Alan and many others, I always found the relationships among the wives and children to be the most interesting aspect of the show. All of this other crap just gets in the way of what was a great show. Of course, my question has always been: how did Bill get one of these women, not to mention all three of them, to marry him and agree to this lifestyle? I get it with Nicki, and sort of get the Barb background with her illness (although it seems to be a great leap from grateful to please share a bed with my husband), but how about Margene? I think it's clear from what we have seen that these women agreed to this arrangement due to forces and deficiencies internal to them, not to any great attraction on the part of Bill (who has been aptly described by others as vacant). Why don't they explore that? That is the show I signed on for, not this craziness. Hugh Jee From Jersey said... If the "Lois Chops Off Hollis' Arm" show was the official "jump the shark" episode, then last night's finale was the "Dragnet" episode. As in DUMB-DEE-DUMB-DUMB.....I know; I'm showing my age. Do the writer's really expect us to believe for a second this scenario at the end of the episode with a man just elected to the state Senate...and a red state Republican to boot...standing on the steps of the state capitol to announce to the world that he has three wives and a busload of children? And the three women who have gone through so much angst these weeks and months are still with him in this ludicrous situation? BIG LOVE has become like an out of control sketch on SNL that seemed a lot funnier and smarter in dress rehearsal. And Alan, everything you've said about the Bill Hendrickson character is right on the mark...you could loathe what Tony Soprano was but he had personality and charm. Bill Hendrickson is just a bland, self righteous back stabber with little sense of empathy. Its very hard to like the guy....and he doesn't have the charisma to make him somebody you love to hate. Would this really make your Festivus list? I didn't think you cared enough about the show to be that upset. Larry said... I keep hoping that, at the start of the next season, Bill will wake up and discover it was all a dream and that he actually manages a B&B in Vermont. Though that would be more plausible than many of the contrivances that were passed off as stories this season. I think they'll have to sell the house and move in with Wanda at the compound next season. It should be good. //chops The ONLY good thing about this season, is that Chloe Sevigny finally escaped from those awful Civil war-era frocks and got some decent clothes. I don't understand the easy complaints about this season: 1) Bill is so unlikeable; 2) the show is, vaguely, a "mess" . . . as for 1) this show is trying to do a difficult thing--offer a main character who can be delusional/moronic/patriarchal/selfish/misguided (pick your mix of the above for Bill) who's also unsympathetic and something of a mirror/cipher figure, reflecting his church and the patriarchy--he doesn't have to be charming or have charisma, etc., especially in a show that's not really about Bill but about his wives and the effect of the patriarchy on women . . . Bill is a male sucked dry of an obvious identity, even a clear masculinity, because he's constantly acting and reacting rather than actually thinking or feeling . . . and even then, there's some sympathetic backstory to him at times if anyone cares (abandoned as a lost boy, etc.); 2) yes, the show is stuffed with plot and, no doubt, at times a bit too much, but the show is also about the particularly American, capitalist delusion about growth--add more, do more, make more (more Home Pluses, more wives, more kids, etc.); in these ways, Big Love and polygamy are all about a patriarchal delusional sense of infinite growth in a part of the US that believes it can mix (capitalistically expanding) state and (polygamously expanding) church . . . if people insist on pointing out the show's failures so much, at least do so while considering the show's attempted critical framework and crucial metaphorical premise shows like this one run their course pretty quick. tough to keep churning out stories that matter. esp when the actors are terrible like paxton Moshen Family said... I think Sissy Spacek had the best lines of the whole series when she totally blasted polygamy and the ridiculous way polygamists use God to justify their sexual appetites. Boom. That's it. Shows over; it's all hypocrisy and the women are fools for falling for it. It's funny, when Zeljko Ivanek was killed off of Damages, there was a shocking sense that the show had done itself a tremendous disservice by offing one of its strongest characters, and that the actor (on his way to Best Supp Actor Emmy) was being robbed of the role of a lifetime. This time around, it seems like a blessing to Mr Ivanek that he has been released from this colossal mess. As with nearly everything this season, his acting was always watchable, and his story arc never touched down. One has to wonder if, at the close of the penultimate episode, Amanda Seyfried was crying tears that she would miss these freaks, or if she was feeling like the rest of us about this entire misguided season. It is not impossible to come back from a misstep - I would argue that Damages is doing it this season - but Big Love Season 4 was not a misstep, it was a catastrophe, and the Nets have a better chance of coming back from a 20 point 4thQ deficit than the Henricksons do from this season. I agree with those that said that this show is at its best when it is focusing on the development and evolution of the women, the family unit and (I'm know I'm in a minority) comparing that unit to the backward nature of the compound. One of my favoite moments this season was when Barb told Bill that she was afraid of the effect his "coming out" would have on the children. If next season focuses on that, I would be really impressed. Instead it will be Bill fighting for his seat (and defending himself from the backers he defrauded), Margene having a a polygamist affair, the Greens seeking revenge and Albey going crazy. Even if they did the whole "ripped from the headlines" thing with the underage marriages and the lost boys that would be really cool. Instead it was an after thought/throw in story this season. When its good its a great show and that is what will keep me watching. blinky said... Hollywoodaholic said... Just how did Aladeen manage to catch and tie up JJ and the wigless wonder? And how could a Senator-elect make such an alarming statement and just get a wave of silence instead of a mad dash of press corps photographers? Oh, why do I bother even asking? Okay, discussing actual religions (as opposed to what people like Alby and JJ and Bill practice) likely falls under the boundaries of the No Politics rule of commenting. Just safer for everybody if we steer clear of that. Mark Jones said... This season was one hot mess, for sure. My wife and I were really hoping early on that Bill would decide to throw his hat in the ring for the position of Prophet rather than run for office. It seemed like a nearly sure thing, storywise. It would feed Bill's ego (from abandoned Lost Boy to successful business and family man to Prophet, succeeding his enemy Roman and putting him in a position to set right everything he thinks is wrong about Juniper Creek). It would provide years of story possibilities. And it would suit Bill's personality ("It's my way, or the highway!") far better than the give and take required of _successful_ politicians. As it stands now, however, I hope that next season starts with Bill's opponent sitting in the legislature, while Bill struggles with the fallout from his coming out of the closet--and burning a lot of supporters in the process. A boycott of Hendrickson Home Plus, for instance. Or of the casino. Plus serious attention from the authorities which would turn up all sorts of skeletons in his closet. (Falsified employee records, for instance--Don's not the only known polygamist at the store now; the authorities may look more closely.) And now that Bill knows Joey killed Roman, doesn't that make him an accessory after the fact if he doesn't come forward? Or all of them? Not so much disappointed on this end. Bill is CLEARLY delusional, but it never really surprised me that his wives were wiling to go along with it, because they've been going along with his crap for years. It's not a reality-based dynamic. I actually liked how the writers have been setting up this train wreck, combining Bill's delusions of grandeur with his wives' increasing independence and priorities outside the home. Barb has the casino, Nikki has her daughter, Marge has her business. Plus, you can tell that they really didn't think he was going to win,which means their lives weren't really going to change. And what happened once Barb realized he COULD win? She dropped the dime on him so fast it literally made my head spin. They put together a hell of a scenario for next season - whether he makes it to the state capitol or not, everyone's lives are changed forever. I can't WAIT to see what happens next year. I honestly thought that Barb only got up the end b/c it was one last thing she would do for Bill....that she wouldn't embarrass him (or the family) by not standing up at that moment and then share with the sister-wives that she was leaving the family once they got home. Am I the only one who thinks the ending on stage didn't really happen? Barb said she would not go, so this scene was all in Bill's head.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line389

On a perfect fall afternoon in October, Stephen O’Neill and I were discussing his journeys paddling across Canada. And there we were: Inside a coffee shop, not worrying about the wind, having a bowl of soup and a coffee, respectively. “When you’re out there (paddling) in some crazy situations, you’re realize how much you should give thanks in your life.” And so heading into 2020, I give thanks for being able to write and interview every athlete (sometimes ever made and in every sport ever made!). But in 2019, the masters and older athletes really struck a chord. And the common thread binding all of them, all of us, young and seasoned — water. Lakes Nepahwin, Ramsey Since 2009, Stephen O’Neill has spent significant sections of his summers paddling across Canada. He used to live on Lake Ramsey and competed in the various events on and in Ramsey and Lake Nepahwin. The Sudbury-based lawyer has been following a version of the Voyageurs’ route of Alexander Mackenzie. It started in Montreal and will end at Tuktoyaktuk (Tuk) at the Beaufort Sea. In July 2020, he plans to finish with a 35-day, nearly 2,000-kilometre trip from Fort Resolution, near Hay River, to Tuk. He also chronicles his journeys year by year in hard-cover format. “There’s not a single thing about your life from start to finish that you don’t think about. You also think about your friends, your family, especially family. And you also think about the future.” His reasons why are as varied as the Canadian landscape. He loves the water and has always loved the water. There’s the Indigenous fact of Canada that he is honoured to witness in all its forms, There’s the beauty of Canada. There’s a love of paddling. There was a sense of legs no longer being able to enjoy the running and biking like they used to, back in the day. O’Neill will complete his journey with Mike Ranta, who lives in Killarney but hails from northwestern Ontario via Fort Frances and then Atikokan. Ranta has twice canoed across Canada — solo. Randy Pascal On any given year, Sudbury and area representation at the Boston Marathon might number between eight to twelve runners, with perhaps another small handful of athletes on hand with some sort of connection to this part of the world. Come April of 2020, no less than three members of a singular family, born and raised in Sudbury, will take part in the grand-daddy of all marathons. Ironically, none of the Savoie siblings (Robert Savoie, Lorraine Doucet, Michelle Bryson) would count themselves as runners, at least not in the competitive sense of the word, in their youth. In fact, this whole affiliation to the sport is far more organic in nature, dating back to their childhood in Minnow Lake. "We've always been influenced by our mother," said Bryson, the youngest of the four children in the family, with Francois (the second eldest) still quite athletic, though not a runner. "She always worked out, home workouts and stuff, so we always had that in our life." "My mom and her brother used to go out at like midnight, for a run, and then come back and order pizza," said Savoie, with a laugh. "They did it just for running." That mindset would be passed along, as taking to the streets and trails offered the ability to unwind and embrace the solitude, with the Savoie trio tapping into running as an opportunity to relax, to some extent or another. "I think it helps me that I've always run, just not competitively," stated Robert. "At (age) 50, I might not be as fast as I would have been at 20, but I also don't have that same wear and tear of someone who ran competitively for years. I was probably doing a half hour, 45 minutes, anywhere from five to ten kilometers." "When I was going through my divorce and had a lot on my mind, I kind of immersed myself in running. I would do like 16 kms, sometimes twice a day, no pace, no training, just me running to blow off steam. And I would be relaxed when I got back." But it was Lorraine who became the ring-leader, at least in the sense of moving from casual running, with no end goal, to making the leap of faith into racing. The 2020 Boston Marathon will represent the eighth time the current resident of Ottawa will tackle the daunting course. "After I had my kids, I lived a half a kilometer from my mom's house, and she used to call me at 5:45 in the morning and we would go out for a half hour, a 45 minute run. I kind of ran on and off after that, but I always exercised in the morning, always worked out." Still, in the back of her mind lurked the bucket list goal of completing a marathon. "I did my first half-marathon and could not understand how people could do double that distance," said Doucet. "I think it was in my 40th year that I did my first marathon, in Ottawa, and Michelle ran her first half-marathon. It was really truly special." Truth be told, the scope of the strength of the family bond in this troika seeps into virtually every tale of this journey they have enjoyed. Their love of running is dwarfed, many times over, by the love and closeness of their relationship with each other. Laughter fills every recollection of the cross-connections they have experienced. "All you have to run is 21 kilometres - it's not that far," exclaimed Bryson. "That was her (Doucet's) way of coaxing me. But it came easier than I thought. I think we have a mental toughness that we can just plow through it." Though the similarities are many, each possesses their own unique approach in preparation. "I need structure, I couldn't just go out and wing it," acknowledged Bryson, who works within a steady stream of numbers in the finance department at Vale. "I need someone to give me a program, tell me what pace I need to hit, how far I have to run." She would turn to the John Stanton books, of Running Room fame. For Robert Savoie, it was all in with the Jack Adams approach, beginning in 2018. "I knew that Robert would qualify," said Doucet. "When he started, he said that he wanted to do a marathon at fifty, and he was telling me his pace, and I knew he would qualify." "I'm very much OCD, so when I started training, I knew that I was basically going to give 'er to get there," said Savoie, a registered nurse by trade. And like many runners, the eldest of the family quartet shares a love of music, with Michelle, as a means of turning minutes into hours, while trekking along the highway from Skead towards Hanmer. "I have a good play list, the music that gives you goose bumps," he said. "I've got dance music, I've got Elvis Presley on there, a bit of everything." If not listening to music, Bryson, for her part, will turn to her remaining passion. "Sometimes I do math in my head, working through my pace and times in the race," she said with a smile. The smile, however, is a trademark of the Boston veteran, the woman is has also ventured over into the world of ultra-marathons and triathlons. "I'm like chatty Cathy that runs next to you," laughed Doucet. "I go to marathons and just talk to people." "Lorraine is that person who will smile the whole race," Bryson agreed. "She will talk throughout the whole thing. She's having a great old time." And given that she is also running with a pair of Boston first-timers, she can also be that voice of experience. "I will give advice, but I know they won't listen," said Doucet, chuckling to herself. "And that's OK, because I didn't listen either. They're going to be like I was. You really have to go slower than you think in the first half. But I know my siblings, and they are going to just go for it." Like three peas in a pod, and definitely something of a Sudbury rarity in this race. --by Nicholas Triolo, syndicated from territoryrun.co, Jan 12, 2020 INSPIRED BY TERRY TEMPEST WILLIAMS' 'WHY I WRITE' Photo by Amber Konikow There is something magical about running; after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then a bit further, it transcends the mind. A bit further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul. --Kristin Armstrong It is just after 4:00 am. I was dreaming about Missoula, running around Mount Sentinel just before dawn. I threw on a blue hoodie and began reciting in my sleep why I run: I run to remember. I run for order. I run because I fear disorder. I run because the folds of my belly say run. I run because wolves run. I run towards. I run away. I run to feel, to feel, to feel. I run because it’s free, because it’s egalitarian, because it’s subversive, because people tell me I shouldn’t. I run because there aren’t memberships or green fees. I run because 4.5 billion years of evolution watch me and wonder if I’ll keep using these legs. I run to thank heart and lungs. I run to praise gravity. I run for those who can’t. I run to feel strong. I run until I’m weak. I run for a view, for a longer view. I run to stir up red-tailed hawks and magpie iridescence. I run because it’s hard. I run to listen. I run to learn my limits. I run to escape. I run to leave. I run away from claustrophobia, from the condensed, human-made world. I run to encourage others to run. I run to check in with that streambed, that great-horned owl, that throne of granite at the summit. I run on roads at rush hour because passing cars on foot might be one of the best feelings in the world. I run to play. I run to rely on myself, to know that I’m good enough. I run so that I don’t have to stare at my laptop and make these ridiculous lists. I run to think, to follow, to earn that breakfast burrito. I run from anger. I run from commitment. I run to commit. I run when the world becomes too sad, too divisive, too full of hate for me to bear, and the only antidote is singletrack and breath and raven croak. I run to hack at the digital. I run to feel young. I run for structure. I run knowing that some outings will be light and fast, while others will be lead-footed and gassy. I run because if all else fails, if our machinery dies and all we have left are our two legs, I’ll be ready. I run to honor what’s already been lost, as oil fields pump dry, as greed and populations exhaust ecosystem after ecosystem hinged on man’s egosystem. I run because when the old world ends, there will be a new world waiting, and that world is etched not in strip mines and eight-lane freeways but in game trail and footpath. I run towards this new world, a world where humans remain fair-footed and landscapes bubble with life on the move, always on the move, running and flying and swimming and dancing. I run to catch up, to join this movement, the movement towards attention, towards subtle mind, towards pumping heart, lactic burn, and clenched teeth. I run to remember.

However, Versteeg joked about having huge doubts during a recent interview ahead of that supergroup's recent debut LP release. "Usually, if you put a bunch of lead singers in a room it's a recipe for disaster. But it's actually been really fun for us to share a little bit, and learn how to play with others," he tells Exclaim! cheekily during a conference call with Anyway Gang cohort Murphy. After Murphy scoffed playfully and clarified, "I'm always joking too, just so you know," Versteeg went on to describe how recording their eponymous debut actually went: "It's been totally easy. We had a frontman war, maybe. But otherwise, this project has been about having fun." Before the True North All-Star foursome banded together last summer — to toss around some of their half-formed three-chord song ideas — they had naturally crossed paths at venues and festivals, and been on some of the same touring circuits, not to mention being longtime fans of each others' work. Anyway Gang elder Murphy, for instance, is quick to compliment comparative up-and-comers Hollerado. "Like most housewives and little girls, I knew about Hollerado through their unbelievable videos. I would be jealous of the time and the scope of getting everyone to agree to do the things they did," Murphy said of the Ottawa rockers' high-concept clips for songs like "AMERICANARAMA" and "Pick Me Up." Versteeg is quick to cite Murphy as a key influence both musically and as a label head — the elder rocker and his Sloan bandmates having founded murderecords in the '90s, while Versteeg released Anyway Gang and several Hollerado albums on his own Royal Mountain Records. After that, they both joked about fellow Anyway Gang member Sam Roberts being the most handsome, but also one of the most accomplished and generous musicians they'd ever worked with. Tokyo Police Club frontman Dave Monks, meanwhile, endlessly impressed Versteeg as a "fantastic songwriter" who "keeps his bass lines so reserved. He's way better than Sloan's bass player, I'll tell ya that much." Versteeg didn't stop ribbing Murphy there, describing how the Sloan bassist and singer would come to Anyway Gang sessions with nary a lyric ready, while also being over-prepared in other regards. "I had a three chord maximum rule for this new band's songs. Then Chris would come in with chords I didn't know existed!" "Yeah I didn't know this rule," Murphy retorts. "But my unofficial motto is '12 chords and the truth,' and it's hard for me to pare it down." Based on their quick-witted conversational quips, the band's potential for giggle-worthy onstage banter seems boundless. Versteeg says Anyway Gang are eager to hit the stage, though they will keep their touring plans as low-key and loose as their recording process and personal dynamic, before giddily pointing out: "We got an opportunity to play a casino, and the pay was ten times more than anything I'd seen with Hollerado. But we didn't want our first gig to be at a casino and look like a bunch of washed-up rockers. So we decided to play one gig at [Toronto's famed] Horseshoe Tavern" on Jan 17." "I think what Menno means is that he has nothing against people who play casinos," Murphy retorts. "Oh you've done it a bunch, right?" "It doesn't matter who's played what," Murphy responds. "Sloan haven't played casinos exclusively. I'm looking forward to the Horseshoe show though, and I think they're turning it into a casino for the night. It was the only way they could get us all to agree to do the gig." "We have a few shows coming up," Versteeg offers. "But we want to keep it super low-stakes, and take it one step at a time. The biggest mantra of this band is to not worry about anything. Just go and have fun, and whatever happens, happens." Anyway Gang is out now on Royal Mountain Records.

__label__cc	0.60497	0.39503	stephenlawson.net How I learned to stop hating micromobility July 19, 2019 Stephen … and start loving smart streets Sidewalks are under attack! Or, maybe mobility options are proliferating faster than cities are changing streets to accommodate them. Bikes, e-scooters, electric unicycles, hoverboards, and all the other micromobility vehicles now zooming down sidewalks don’t belong there. Even in cities that allow them to share space with pedestrians, they shouldn’t. Injuries to pedestrians and class-action lawsuits over sidewalk access serve as evidence that this is a real problem. Ironically, walking is coming under threat just as Americans are starting to see its value. Property values are rising in cities and neighborhoods where it’s possible to work, shop, and be entertained without getting in a car. Many Americans, not just millennials, are flocking to these areas after decades of suburbanization and the decline of city centers. Now, new modes of transportation are starting to invade the urban sidewalks that make these areas walkable. Until recently, who belonged where in a streetscape was mostly a settled matter, for better or worse. The last time the division of street use was in play to this degree was nearly a century ago, right before automotive interests established cars as the primary users of roads and relegated pedestrians to sidewalks and crosswalks. Cyclists were left to fend for themselves. How should pedestrians negotiate the changes in street use this time around? Are we in danger of being pushed aside once again? As a daily pedestrian and transit rider in San Francisco, I’ve thought about this question for months. In that time, my feelings have shifted from outrage to understanding – within limits. The part where I whine San Francisco is both the birthplace of many of the new modes of transportation and a battleground over how to deal with them. This didn’t happen out of the blue. I’ve observed some degree of contention over sidewalk space as a pedestrian here for decades. Even before the first wave of new mobility options arrived, in the form of docked rental bikes, I was perturbed by cyclists on their own bikes speeding down sidewalks and warning me to get out of the way. It was especially galling when there was a bike lane 10 feet away on the street. With bikes that could be rented on the street through an app, the problem got a little worse. There were more inexperienced riders who didn’t know they weren’t allowed on sidewalks. When dockless scooters arrived last year, the tension went up a notch or three. Many riders seemed to be hopping on one for the first time without a clue about how or where to ride them, and often they left the scooters in the middle of the sidewalk, creating a hazard for some and an obstacle for all. Pretty soon, I started to wonder where all this was going. If the number of wheeled vehicles on the city’s sidewalks kept growing at the current rate, how long would it be before they effectively outnumbered pedestrians? Due to their speed, size, and risk, bicycles and powered vehicles might effectively take over some stretches of sidewalk long before they became the numerical majority. Police might start forcing them off the sidewalk, but they didn’t appear to be doing it yet. When would it be too late? The part where I learn some history While this may sound absurd, there is some precedent for it. For the first few decades after automobiles debuted, city streets remained shared public thoroughfares where people had the right to walk, cross, stop and chat, and even play anywhere they pleased. Horses, wagons, and streetcars coexisted with pedestrians, and cars had to accommodate those existing street users by going slowly and being prepared to yield at any time. But what set the automobile apart was its potential speed, and starting in the mid-1920s, the car industry and auto clubs set out to turn the street into a place where cars could move freely and quickly. Lobbying, advertising, and other tactics rapidly changed the way Americans understood their public streets, as Peter D. Norton recounted in his recent book, “Fighting Traffic.” The purpose of road design and regulation became maximizing automotive traffic flow. Walking anywhere other than a sidewalk or a crosswalk became jaywalking, and no real accommodation was made for cyclists, the other major users of the street. In the new age of micromobility, would a growing number of intimidating encounters lead everyone without wheels to give up on walking and hail an Uber instead? Would richly funded scooter and bike rental companies — with some assistance from ride-hailing giants that were starting to acquire them – eventually throw their weight behind laws that made pedestrians’ defeat official and assigned sidewalks to wheeled vehicles? It started to look as if pedestrians’ rights to the sidewalk had to be defended vigorously and immediately, or the war would be lost in a matter of years. The part where I change my mind But then a couple of things happened: I began to learn more about what cyclists and other riders face when trying to share the road. And I started paying more attention to what sharing sidewalks actually looks like, day in and day out. While bikes usually have the same rights on the road as cars, legally, their real freedom to use the street is much more limited. Urban cycling is dangerous. In 2017, 783 cyclists died in crashes in the U.S. In urban areas, the number of cyclist fatalities has risen 13 percent since 2008. Bike lanes appear to provide a safe path, but if you watch closely or listen to cyclists’ stories, it turns out they often don’t – unless there are poles, curbs, or traffic islands to separate them from traffic. Traffic-calming features such as sidewalk bulb-outs and narrower lanes can also help to make these lanes safe, as former New York City Traffic Commissioner Samuel Schwartz described in his book, “Street Smart.” In San Francisco, most bike lanes are just painted on, with no other modifications to the street. They end up blocked by double-parked cars, ride-hailing pickups and dropoffs, and inattentive drivers opening their doors. Not being a cyclist, I hadn’t realized this. But given the dangers that cyclists face on the streets, even where a lane painted on the asphalt appears to protect them, it’s understandable that some use sidewalks instead. Here’s the other ground truth: Not every sidewalk scofflaw breaks the rules in the same way. A few ride aggressively, demanding space even in bustling crowds of pedestrians. Others are oblivious, uncertain, or uncaring enough to disrupt foot traffic without even noticing. But micromobility vehicles show up every day, on sidewalks all over the city, and in most cases you wouldn’t even notice them unless you paid attention as closely as I do. They aren’t noticeable because they’re not getting in anyone’s way. The various sidewalk users find their way around each other. A way forward Pedestrians in cities where micromobility is booming are annoyed. Occasionally, they’re at risk. People with disabilities are sometimes prevented from getting around. It’s a problem, and sidewalk laws should be enforced. But an all-out war on micromobility by pedestrians isn’t the answer – at least, not yet. By the same token, those who promote these vehicles at the expense of everything else are shortsighted. When challenged on the dangers of their favored device, they argue simply that cars are more dangerous. At its worst, this lesser-evil argument is used to dismiss objections to any business model or rider behavior. This turns mobility into a zero-sum game, a simplistic world of cars versus everything else. And that’s where the car-centric establishment wants the conversation to stay. Ignoring the need to protect all street users pits pedestrians and micromobility riders against each other when we should be allies, acknowledging our differences and working to expand alternative street space. No street is truly walkable unless it’s also bike-able, and scooter-able, and hoverboard-able. Walkers and riders need to find common ground – and then claim more ground. Previous PostLove driving?

__label__cc	0.632764	0.367236	RACE REPORT: SLO Cross Weekend Posted Friday November 8 2013 by SOCALCROSS in Cyclocross, Registration, Results, Schedule, Uncategorized Words and photos by Kenneth Hill/Light and Shadows Photography. – SoCalCross PRESTIGE SERIES round seven on Saturday of SLO Cross Weekend in San Luis Obispo was considered an “off” weekend by many. The first third of the season had been conducted at an intense pace, and considering the long drive north to El Chorro Regional Park, it was clear that a lot of racers decided to take a break. Too bad, because host team SLO Nexus designed a cool course along a creek valley with lots of hardpack, a two-way sandpit, lots of trees with leaf litter, a few spirals, a barrier, a short run-up and some off cambers. Fast lines were put down as the bumpy course wore in throughout the day. Lots of series points were on the line for those who chose to make the trip. In Women’s A, Nicole Brandt (La Grange/Michelob Ultra) and Elicia Hildebrand (Trek Collective) worked together at the front of the small field for the first two laps and built a healthy gap. By the third lap Brandt was off and not looking back, leaving Hildebrand alone in second. Amanda Nauman (SDG/Felt/IRT), the winner of the first two rounds of the season, played catch-up the entire race after a botched start as well as a fall, and finished third. Holly Breck (SC Velo/Incycle) and Amanda Schaper (Ritte CX) came fourth and fifth, respectively. It was the first series victory for Brandt, which also put her in the Voler leader’s jersey. “I rode hard but conservative, not wanting to make any silly errors,” she reported. “Elicia and I battled it out for two and a half laps and when we came to the steepest section of the course I passed her and pushed hard until the top, took some risks on the following twisty, technical turns, and I was gone. I pushed myself hard for another lap, wanting to create distance between myself and the rest of the field, and after doing so, I was able to ride the final two laps more cautiously and at my own pace. Riding past the bike pit for the final time, I high-fived [my husband] Matias – it was an amazing feeling to win my first CX race!” Jason Siegle (SDG/Felt/IRT) led the Men’s A race out into the first set of twists up and along the creek side. Teammate Dave Sheek moved into second and acted as gatekeeper during the next couple of laps, slowing the advances of hometown hero Blake Rowan (SLO Nexus) and John Behrens (Velo Hanger). About halfway through the race, with Siegle’s gap now solid, Sheek took off solo for second place. Rowan held on for third and Behrens fourth, while Jay Kwan (The TEAM SoCalCross) rounded out the podium in 5th after winning Single Speeds B just one race earlier. Bailey Eckles (The TEAM SoCalCross) was the U23 winner, which he would repeat the next day. “I got the holeshot and lead the whole race, getting a gap pretty early and was able to build on it without having to bury myself to do it the rest of the race,” said Siegle afterward, adding that he needed Sunday’s win as well to get as many series points as possible before the war against the Gritters brothers picks up again next week in Escondido. Day two of SLO Cross Weekend started an hour later – according to body clocks, anyway – due to the time change. It was on the same course but with the direction reversed. With lines in place from Saturday it was very fast lap times for all. Nauman made no starting line mistakes this time and took a decisive holeshot in Women’s A. After one lap it was Nauman leading Brandt, with a gap forming to Hildebrand and Christina Probert-Turner (The TEAM SoCalCross). Through the sand on the second lap, Nauman fell hard and lost major ground to Brandt, who was now soloing in the lead once again with a formidable gap. Probert-Turner, Hildebrand and Nauman took up the chase. Late in the race, Nauman finally got free and set her sights on the distant Brandt. A determined effort by Nauman paid off, and starting the bell lap the gap was down to just one second. Nauman outpowered Brandt on a rough uphill and that was all she wrote. At the line it was Nauman in front by two seconds. Probert-Turner, Hildebrand and Amanda Schaper completed the podium. Said Nauman of her come-from-behind win: “I had the lead for the whole first lap and then on the second lap I hooked my bar on one of the poles that was stuck in the outside of the sand pit. The better line was on the edge of the sand but I got too close there and just slammed into the sand. I got back up onto fourth wheel, passed Turner on the next lap, passed Elicia on the next lap, and then it took me until the last lap to pass Nicole. I made my way past her on the long bumpy uphill section. The backwards course from the previous day was much better for me because there were more straightaway power sections where I could put in some work. I think she just had some tired legs and I had a better second half. I’m definitely happier with day two but it was a tough one to make it back up there!” The Men’s A race went single file quickly, with Siegle again getting the lead and not looking back. Sheek again played perfect team tactics and kept the rest the field from closing the gap to Siegle. Behrens flatted while in third on lap three, forcing him to run more than half the course to get back to the pit. Rowan moved into third and chased Sheek the rest of the way, unsuccessfully. By the end of the hour-long, 12-lap race, Behrens had recovered to secure fourth place, followed across the line by Jordan Haggard (Mudfoot). Siegle was succinct: “Day two was more of the same story. I got the holeshot again and lead the whole way. I pushed the effort a bit more and pushed it most of the race. That’s basically how it went.” Siegle did indeed make up a lot of ground in the point standings. It will be very interesting to see how this all calculates at the end of next month, as a rider’s best ten results are counted for the title. The SLO Cross Weekend was made possible by SLO Nexus, Pedalers Fork & 10-Speed Coffee, SPY Optic, TRP Brakes, Voler Team Apparel and Jenson USA. The next round of the SoCalCross Prestige Series holds special meaning for many of us in this region, as it memorializes friend, husband, father and longtime cycling advocate Udo Heinz, who was tragically killed in a riding accident this past summer. “Udo Cross presented by SPY Optic” takes place Sunday, November 10, at Lake Hodges in Escondido, CA. Looking further ahead, it’s all systems go for the big show: CXLA Cross After Dark Weekend takes place 11/29-30-12/1 at Los Angeles State Historic Park. It will be UCI sanctioned as well as the Cross After Dark Series finale, which will bring in a lot of big names. There are a ton of cool things planned for this weekend, so stay tuned for details!

__label__cc	0.634966	0.365034	Difference between revisions of "Equilibrium of an elastically confined liquid drop" From Soft-Matter Schade (Talk \| contribs) m (→‎General Information: added link to Maha) (→‎General Information) '''Keywords''': [[Surface Forces\|surface force]], [[meniscus]], [[surface tensions\|surface tension]], [[Effects of contact angles\|contact angle]], stiction '''Keywords''': [[Surface Forces\|surface force]], [[meniscus]], [[surface tensions\|surface tension]], [[Effects of contact angles\|contact angle]], [[stiction]] '''Authors''': Hyuk-Min Kwon, Ho-Young Kim, Jerome Puell, and [[L. Mahadevan]]. Diagrams of the liquid drop between the substrate and the elastic surface, with photographs from experiment. In case (a), the glass sheet is relatively stiff due to its large height (1.85 mm) above the parafilm substrate. In case (b), the sheet acts more elastically because its left end is only 0.28 mm above the substrate, and as a result its right end is in contact with the substrate. The authors examine the behavior of a liquid drop confined between a rigid substrate from below and an elastic plate from above. The drop will spread and thin between the plates, while also pulling the free end of the flexible sheet down. The authors work out theoretical predictions for the shape of the elastic sheet subject to physical and geometric boundary conditions. A few interesting cases are noted, which correspond to different boundary conditions. Experimental data is provided which corroborates the theoretical predictions, and the authors discuss the application of the analysis to subjects as varied as Chinese calligraphy and the stiction of microcantilevers. Keywords: surface force, meniscus, surface tension, contact angle, stiction Authors: Hyuk-Min Kwon, Ho-Young Kim, Jerome Puell, and L. Mahadevan. Date: May 7, 2008. School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul 151-744, Republic of Korea School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA Journal of Applied Physics 103, 093519 (2008). [1] The authors first develop the theory corresponding to a drop of liquid in equilibrium between a rigid flat plate and another sheet that is allowed to bend. The length scales are assumed sufficiently small that gravitational effects are negligible. Only the equilibrium case is considered, so that it is assumed the system is at rest and free energy is minimal. It is assumed that both the substrate and the elastic glass sheet are hydrophilic, and one end of the flexible plate is fixed at a height H above the substrate. The interfacial forces due to the liquid will bend the elastic plate toward the substrate, until either the free edge of the plate is slightly closer to the substrate than H, or the free edge is actually in contact with the substrate. The analysis of these cases is very similar, except for some different geometric boundary conditions. By considering volume conservation, contact angle geometry, curvature of the liquid and the corresponding pressure, shear force, and surface tension, the authors determine that the boundary condition problem simplifies to a key equation: <math> h' = \frac{L^4}{l_a^2 H R_0}S(x - x_m) </math> where <math>S</math> is the Heaviside function, as well as a number of geometric boundary conditions. Here <math>h</math> is the deformation of the flexible plate, <math>L</math> is the length of the plates, and <math>R_0</math> is the radius of curvature of the liquid at its edge where the plates are furthest apart. <math>l_a</math> is the adhesion or bending length and <math>x_m</math> is the point along the horizontal axis where the meniscus of the liquid is found. The authors used MATLAB to solve the above equation, subject to ten boundary conditions corresponding to the case that the free end of the flexible plate is not in contact with the substrate. They showed that the theory is consistent with the notion that more spreading of the liquid occurs when there is high interfacial tension and the top plate is soft and close to the substrate. Spreading is also greater when the contact angles are smaller and when the volume of liquid is larger, or when a dimensionless "stiffness" parameter <math>\eta</math> is smaller. Experimental data is provided that supports the equation derived theoretically. Theoretically predicted plate shapes and meniscus locations for the cases that (I) the top plate is not long enough to come into contact with the substrate, (II) the top plate is long enough to come into contact with the substrate but not long enough to lie tangent to it, and (III) the top plate is long enough that its free end lies tangent to the substrate. The authors then explore the interesting case of decreasing the stiffness parameter <math>\eta</math> or, equivalently, increasing the length of the plates <math>L</math> until the top plate comes into contact with the substrate. One boundary condition changes in that the distance between one end of the plate and the substrate is now zero, but if we continue to extend this parameter, the angle between the top plate and the substrate will also decrease until it is zero. At this special condition, the flexible plate is tangent to the substrate at the point where the two are in contact and also, presumably, at all points farther to the right along the substrate. This case too has slightly different boundary conditions. The theoretically predicted shapes of the flexible plate corresponding to these different cases can be seen in the figure at right. The authors provided experimental data that supports their theory concerning these other geometric cases as well. The authors comment on the simplicity of the geometry considered for this analysis, and suggest that much more work could be done on similar problems for more complex geometries, such as the wetting of a canvas by paint on the hairs of a paintbrush, for instance. Connection to soft matter The theory and experimental work presented in this article tackles a simple and fundamental problem in soft matter concerning capillary forces and surface tension. The behavior of a drop of liquid between two plates is in some ways an even simpler problem than that of the classic vertical capillary. The drop wets the surfaces by spreading until it has minimized the surface energy. The contact angles are relevant in determining how far the drop will spread. This problem is also interesting in that it takes a new look at the classic problem of a meniscus. In most cases, a meniscus location is predicted assuming solid surfaces in the problem are rigid and static. Here, one of the plates is allowed to bend, and the authors have demonstrated that the location of a meniscus can still be predicted quite accurately. Experimental results support their theoretical predictions. Additionally, the fact that one of the surfaces is elastic in the problem means that ideas from soft matter are needed to analyze the equilibrium behavior of the flexible glass sheet in this scenario. A dimensionless "stiffness" parameter can be derived in terms of geometric and physical parameters that corresponds to how flexible a glass sheet is. This parameter could be applied to various other problems in soft matter involving flexible plates.

__label__cc	0.636966	0.363034	Star Wars REVENGE OF THE JEDI No-DATE GENUINE MOVIE POSTER ROLLED UNBACKED THIS IS AN ORIGINAL- BEWARE OF FAKES! I've decided to sell this poster, my last. Unbacked rolled Revenge No Date 1-sheet. In the UK (lot 151)! THE HOLY GRAIL OF Star Wars 1-Sheets! A GENUINE, ORIGINAL rolled 1982 Fox issued Revenge of the Jedi Advance one sheet. It's NOT a reprint, and, it's NOT a bootleg, this is the REAL McCoy. The Revenge one-sheet is the most copied, commemorated, and, the most counterfeited movie poster in the world! That's because it's so great! It's always been a huge demand item - the unbelievable artwork by Drew Struzan, coupled with the film's "politically correct" title change, make this one for the record books. It's a dream, or, Holy Grail item. Fox issued this Teaser back in 1982. There were TWO versions printed. Both are documented on the 1985 Lucasfilm authorized Star Wars Checklist poster. The FIRST version was printed only once - that's the NO-DATE version offered here in this listing. It was exclusively issued to the movie theaters - early on - BEFORE 20th-Century-Fox settled on a certain release date for the film. The SECOND version was printed after the finalization of the May 25th 1983 release date, which was placed at the bottom of the poster. The first NO-DATE version is SIGNIFICANTLY rarer. In fact, it's one of the rarer and most sought after Star Wars posters in the hobby! The Checklist poster states that. There were ONLY a handful of these no-date posters made. The story gets even better! After going through the trouble of printing both versions of the poster, George Lucas had an eleventh hour epiphany when he suddenly realized how silly it would be for a Jedi to loose his cool seeking REVENGE, and so he changed the title of the movie to The Return of the Jedi. " Immediately, all the original "Revenge posters (date and no-date) were pulled from the official advertising campaign. This particular NO-DATE original has been coveted ever since all that hubbub initially happened. This fantastic rarity is in SOLID VERY FINE +++ to.

__label__wiki	0.771625	0.771625	Home/Data Science/Here Are Six Machine Learning Success Stories Here Are Six Machine Learning Success Stories Guest Blogger April 1, 2018 Fewer technologies are hotter than artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Leading organizations are already harnessing the technology, which mimics the behavior of the human mind, to woo customers and bolster business operations. And the trend will only gain more traction in the years ahead, as AI and ML will be a top five investment priority for more than 30 percent of CIOs by 2020, according to Gartner. Initial fears over AI and ML being used to displace jobs appears to be dissipating, with more than 67 percent of business executives surveyed by PwC saying that AI will help humans and machines work better together. Recognizing the opportunity to move the needle for their businesses, some CIOs are experimenting with, building and even patenting new AI and ML technologies. These IT leaders shared their ML use cases with CIO.com. AI augments securities research Putnam Investments, a provider of mutual funds, institutional investment strategies and retirement services, views AI and ML as essential for driving improved coverage of stocks by the financial services firm’s research analysts, CIO Sumedh Mehta tells CIO.com. The analysts work closely with Putnam data scientists to create theses that help glean insights from large amounts of data, Mehta says. Putnam is also working on algorithms that will recommend the most important sales prospects. “It’s a hugely disruptive and transformational power and the whole business driver for it is efficiency and productivity,” says Mehta of AI and ML. Mehta, who relies on a combination of software engineers, data scientists, analytics and vendors, has created a data science center of excellence, which is essentially ground zero for AI and ML efforts that support business stakeholders. He says his “enlightened” business partners have embraced these approaches to achieve better automation. The AI and ML work is part of Putnam’s broader digital transformation, which entails modernizing IT infrastructure with cloud computing and creating a single platform on which to run the business. Key advice: Organizations should take their time and set expectations appropriately, understanding that the first few ideas will lead to new questions rather than answers. “There is no such thing as a eureka moment when it comes to AI,” Mehta says. “It’s not the case that suddenly your algorithm will yield insight you didn’t already know about.” AI makes finances less taxing Intuit is accelerating AI and ML efforts under Ashok Srivastava, who joined the financial software maker as chief data officer in October. Intuit is using Amazon Web Services to help its QuickBooks Assistant chatbot better understand and process natural language, says Srivastava, who joined the company after building out Verizon’s big data platform. A growing area of focus is shepherding users through the hundreds of categorizations that inform Quickbooks. “We’re dealing with over 1 billion transactions from QuickBooks and we can optimize the categorizations that occur with high accuracy,” Srivastava adds. The company’s TurboTax uses AI to help users get their maximum refund by guiding them through the itemized deduction process, potentially saving users up to 40 percent of tax prep time and efforts retrieving documents. The company is using ML and cloud technology from AWS to scale more rapidly, Srivastava says. Read the source article at CIO.com.

__label__wiki	0.679939	0.679939	Gone to Texas -- light posting ahead. Interesting. Everybody is concentrating on the White House-Shulman connection. Maybe they'd better pay attention to a couple of others on the list. If the IRS bully boys (and girls) were part of a scheme to rig the elections and suppress the conservative vote as seems likely, this Daily Caller story is instructive: "IRS’s Shulman had more public White House visits than any Cabinet member." Publicly released records show that embattled former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the White House at least 157 times during the Obama administration, more recorded visits than even the most trusted members of the president’s Cabinet. . .After Shulman, Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank (86), Asst. Attorney General Thomas Perez (83) and Penny Pritzker (76) — Obama’s nominee for Commerce Secretary — have the most publicly known White House visits. Perez was, at the time, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice. In that capacity, he was the principal Obamanoid point man responsible for, among other things attacking voter ID laws, dropping the charges against the voter-intimidating thugs of the New Black Panther Party, etc. For these and other activities Perez was rewarded by Obama with a nomination to be the new Secretary of Labor in March of this year. Pritzker, a Chicago native, the founder, chairman and CEO of PSP Capital Partners and Pritzker Realty Group, and in 2011 the Forbes 400 list of America's wealthiest showed her as the 263rd richest person in the U.S., estimated net worth of US $1.7 billion, and the world's 651st richest person. In 2009 Forbes named Pritzker as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world. Pritzker was a member of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and also served on the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Oh, and bvy the way, she was also national co-chair of Obama For America 2012 and was the national finance chair of President Obama's presidential campaign in 2008. Starting to see a pattern here? Vicious dogs and tyrannical governments: Guns are needed for both They need to be tightly controlled--kept on a short leash, as it were. In the context of the U.S. government, that "short leash" is the Constitution, and the very explicit limits it places on the federal government's power--power, remember, that is borrowed from the We the People. We know the consequences of allowing the government to slip that leash. And finally, if, despite all our efforts, government does become tyrannical, it must be put down, like a vicious dog. Hence guns, and the Second Amendment. And we must be humane about it--bring enough gun. Anecdote of a collapsing civilization. Tense scene unfolds outside charred liquor store as ATF investigates, scrappers lurk Service to what? Lincoln's Call to Service—and Ours IRS scandal grows. Obama’s ‘Chicago Way’ We are learning more about the Obama Enemies' List: "IRS may have targeted conservatives more broadly." As John Funds observes, "The administration’s political tactics are straight out of the Daley playbook." Killer Kollectivist Kalifornication Kicks to Kompletion California Senate approves seven gun control bills Unbelievable. Uniformed thugs complete burglar's mission for him. Police confiscate gun from homeowner for firing shot at burglar I can certainly see the drawbacks of this policy. Marines train to guard ammunition supply point with shotguns Note to the moron in Louisiana who sent ricin to Mayor Bloomberg. Ricin: Almost never deadly Markov appears to be the only person to have been assassinated in a ricin attack in more than three decades. That's because to succeed, such an attack requires ricin to be directly injected, or in some other way be to directly ingested, by the victim. That makes ricin a poor choice for a terrorist trying to inflict mass casualties. Further notes for Threepers. Even in a hypothetical 4th generation warfare conflict in an American context, ricin fails the test as a proper weapon for resistance forces. A. When mailed in an envelope it is indiscriminate, thus cannot be guaranteed not to harm innocents other than the presumptive target. B. Regime warmakers (the proper target for 4GW) do not open their own mail, thus they are hardly likely to look on such attacks as frightening. (Who among the Mandarin class cares if postal workers or secretaries are harmed?) The target for 4GW is the decision-making few inches of grey matter between the tyrants' ears. Even a fatality caused by ricin is at most a mere inconvenience and hardly likely to influence their behavior. C. Because ricin delivered in this manner is both inefficient and indiscriminate it discredits the side that uses it. D. Then there's the matter of timing, that pesky "No Fort Sumters" business. Such attacks now are also premature and thus morally repugnant and politically stupid. E. Thus, while ricin letters are perfect weapons for a false flag attack by the regime, they fail the 4GW test a a proper weapon for insurgents. What is a proper weapon? A precision-guided munition in the form of a rifle bullet targeted specifically at a known decision-maker -- after the regime initiates the war. That is a weapon that they both understand and fear.

I'll try to post some more tonight and early tomorrow morning, and keep me and my friends in your prayers for a safe journey out and back. Magazines for the Colorado civil disobedience continue to come in. We are pushing 80 magazines of different types now, including one recent very generous shipment from Arizona which included a goodly amount of 5.56 brass as ballast. (I love those!) Adding an incentive to those who might want to make up the difference, I received this from a reader: It’s been exciting to see the “old” Mike back in action! Two things have crossed my mind. The first is that you are finally healthy again. That would be a good thing for all of us. The second was that you weren’t getting better and figured that you’d go out with a bang (no pun intended). I hope it’s the former. I’d like to offer a challenge to you and the group. When you get to 100 magazines, I’ll contribute 25 virtually new HK91/PTR/SAR8 magazines to the cause! I’ll do it anyway, but it might inspire the “troops” to set up! Let me know if that’s a good idea that you’d be interested in. I think it's a great idea and any donations over the 100 target for Colorado will be used in other civil disobedience in other states later in the year. Here's another big surprise. Zimmerman prosecutor withheld evidence Durbin shows as much respect for First Amendment as he does for Second Which is to say, none.

Sipsey Street Exclusive: "Nixon was a piker compared to this Chicago gang." Just like the Gunwalker Conspiracy, the IRS attack machine got its marching orders from Rahm Emanuel. The Chicago Way. Let me tell you what this was, and where it came from, based on a conversation I had with a long-time, well-informed veteran of American government intelligence operations the other day. "Do you think," he asked me, "that this happened accidentally in a vacuum?" Meaning that one day "Gunwalker Bill" Newell, Phoenix SAC, just got a wild hair and decided to invent his own foreign policy. "Things like this happen because of meetings. People sit in meetings and they decide what they want to happen. And then they take decisions, make policy and implement that policy to achieve those ends." . . ."So," I said, "you're saying that this was a deliberate attempt by policymakers at the highest levels of the Obama administration to subvert the Second Amendment and further diminish the free exercise of firearm rights of honest citizens?" "You got it. Sucks, huh?" He laughed bitterly. I thought of Zed in "Men in Black." He added, "Of course the meeting transcripts won't reflect the truth so plainly, but then neither did the Wannsee Conference. These bastards always talk in riddles about what they're really after. Watch what they do, not what they say." -- "The Gunwalker Scandal: Why? Where did it start? How high does it go? Darrell Issa should ask Rahm Emanuel." -- Sipsey Street, 18 March 2011. Just as Lisa Myers of NBC was reporting "IRS higher-ups requested info on conservative groups, letters show," Bob Beckel screwed up and let something slip on the FOX News show, The Five yesterday. Unfortunately for my deadline, the transcript for the show on the 28th is not yet posted so I'll have to paraphrase. Basically he stated that the IRS scandal was the responsibility of White House personnel "no longer working there." That statement, as murky as it is, tracks with what I have been told by DC insiders: Like the Gunwalker conspiracy which led to Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal had its origins in the office of that consummate practitioner of "the Chicago way," Rahm Emanuel. This has already been the subject of some media speculation. The Washington Times carried this column from Bill Kelly: "IRS, AP scandals smell like Rahm." Let's look at the timeline for the IRS scandal, as incomplete as it is now: March 2010 - The IRS field office in Cincinnati, known as the Determinations Unit, begins picking out applications for tax-exempt status for closer scrutiny, using conservative-sounding key words in groups' names as a filter. One of the unit's main jobs is to determine whether applicants obey the political activity limits and deserve tax-exempt status. The unit targets groups with names such as "We the People" and "Take Back the Country." April 2010 - Determinations Unit managers and staff begin assessing the results of the targeting effort, compiling a "Sensitive Case Report" and summary chart. The chart is shared with the director of the exempt organizations unit. July 2010 - The Determinations Unit tells staffers to be on the lookout for applications including the name of the Tea Party movement, a loose affiliation of groups which oppose President Barack Obama and agitate for lower taxes and smaller government. October 2010 - Newly assigned IRS specialist in charge of reviewing applications stops work on cases while awaiting guidance from another unit. The TIGTA inspector general's report points to "a miscommunication about not working the cases while waiting for guidance." November 2010 - In mid-term U.S. elections, Republicans win control of the House of Representatives, partly on a wave of support from Tea Party activists. By that time, with the pre-election polls showing an almost certain Tea Party-fueled sweep, on September 30, 2010, it was announced that Emanuel would leave his post as White House Chief of Staff to run for Mayor of Chicago. He was replaced by Pete Rouse on October 2, 2010. The Washington Examiner has already reported that "Lawmakers zero in on IRS meetings at White House." Top IRS officials, whose agency was under investigation for targeting conservative groups, visited the Obama White House more than 100 times over two years while the probe was going on, far more often than in previous administrations and frequently enough that Republicans suspect White House officials knew about the targeting. Lawmakers now investigating the Internal Revenue Service practice zeroed in on those nearly weekly White House meetings to determine whether an IRS official — or someone higher up in the administration — had approved the targeting and whether it was politically motivated. The frequent meetings also raised questions about the White House's claims that it couldn't have instigated the targeting of conservative groups because it took a hands-off approach to the tax agency, going so far as to describe it as independent of the administration even though it's part of the Treasury Department. . . Former Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Doug Shulman visited the White House 118 times between 2010 and 2011. Acting Director Steven Miller, who took over at the IRS in November, also made numerous visits to the White House, though variations in the spelling of his name in White House visitor logs makes it difficult to determine exactly how many times. It will be interesting to see how many of those meetings were with Rahm Emanuel before he left his Chief of Staff job to become King of Chicago. However many it was, according to my sources the idea began with the man who famously said "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." After I'd heard several rumblings of Emanuel's probable involvement in the IRS scandal from other DC sources, I contacted my "long-time, well-informed veteran of American government intelligence operations" who had first mentioned Emanuel's name during the weeks after the murder of Brian Terry had been tied to Fast and Furious. "I was wondering when you'd contact me," he replied with what I knew was a smile on the other end. "You want to know about Emanuel, right?" Yes, I acknowledged, I did. "C'mon," he chided me, "think it through. The timelines for both scandals coincide, with the 'enemies' list' the tax boys were put to working on beginning after Fast and Furious, but that's just because they always wanted gun control well before they took over. . . remember they had complete control of both House and Senate as well and they didn't think they'd really need to start working an 'enemies' list' until it looked like they were going to have trouble in the mid-terms. . . The IRS was a natural for them. Hell, Johnson had pioneered the practice. . . "(But)Nixon was a piker compared to this Chicago gang." He added, as if disappointed that I hadn't seen the obvious right away, "You're supposed to be a bright boy, why would you think that a gang that wouldn't blink at the smuggling of weapons that were sure to kill a bunch of Mexican police and civilians and probably end up killing Americans would blink at using the tax boys as political bully boys to protect their majorities in the Congress?" "So," I asked, "you're saying specifically that this scandal began with Rahm Emanuel just like Fast and Furious?" "'Specifically?' You bet your ass. Of course he had plenty of help. . . and plenty of direction." He added, "What did they fear most back in 2010? DISCOVERY. Discovery of Fast & Furious and all the other dirty little secrets that every administration generates. The loss of their majorities would open them up to congressional scrutiny. If you're a cockroach, wouldn't you do what you had to to keep the lights off? . . . Especially if you're from Chicago, it's a no-brainer. That's where the 'enemies' list' and the IRS scandal came from. . . and the attacks on FOX News and the AP . . . Cockroaches don't like electricians either." "Rahm sent us." Throwing cold water on the fondest fantasies of autoerotic, hyperventilating collectivists. Dem Majority in Greater Peril Than the NRA Major blowback on gun control News from King Cuomo's Empire State SAFE Act faces new challenges The controversial New York SAFE Act suffered two setbacks in the last week as the New York State Sheriffs Association had filed an amicus brief as part of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association lawsuit and the Columbia County District Attorney has decided not to prosecute a man arrested under the new law. In addition to the sheriff's motion to have their view of the law on the record in the suit against the state, the association, along with five individual sheriffs, are asking to join the suit as plaintiffs. Gunowners heading back to Albany (A)nother protest against the SAFE Act has been scheduled for June 11. Organized by the Shooters Committee on Political Education, in conjunction with the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, the Erie County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, and Oath Keepers New York, this event is expected to be as large as the Feb. 28 rally in which an estimated 10,000 gunowners and supporters took part. Cuomo’s people tried to downplay that crowd by half, by not including the throngs of patriots inside the Legislative Office Building. But that ruse was shot down by others who provided a more accurate count. The organizers are hoping for a crowd of 25,000 people at the June 11 event — which isn’t so far off base considering the number of gunowners there are in the state. . . Oops. Tell me again how nobody needs a hi-cap magazine. One suspect dead, another wounded after shooting in downtown Houston Investigators said that George Ramirez, 27, was walking home from a nightclub when he was approached by four to five armed men who opened fire on him. Ramirez was also armed and fired back at the suspects, police said. Ramirez was hit once in the back, but was able to kill one of the suspects and wound another. Another "Resistance is Futile" Borgian advocate. "Guns will never keep tyranny at bay." Tell it to the Founders, you collectivist moron. More on the Dustin Reininger case. The nonsensical abuse of gun owners It is NOT nonsensical from a collectivist point of view. Collectivism is about creating crimes so free men can be subjugated. Looked at from the collectivist point of view, such laws and cases are NOT "nonsensical." They actually make perfect sense -- to tyrants. Activists launch media campaign against UNC’s anti-gun policies Beginning today, Grassroots North Carolina will air “[a] series of at least 60 radio spots targeting the University of North Carolina system and its president, Tom Ross” at stations “in Raleigh, Greensboro and Asheville [to] focus on UNC's malfeasance in protecting students from sexual assault and other violent crime,” the statewide gun rights group announced this morning in a press release. Checkmate, collectivists. More than 10,000 80% complete AR-15 receivers already sold Over 10,000 80% complete receivers sold, by just one of the producers.

Reading Hayek in Beijing "This book had a huge impact on me," he says, holding up his dog-eared Chinese translation of Friedrich Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom." Hayek's book, he explains, was originally translated into Chinese in 1962 as "an 'internal reference' for top leaders," meaning it was forbidden fruit to everyone else. Only in 1997 was a redacted translation made publicly available, complete with an editor's preface denouncing Hayek as "not in line with the facts," and "conceptually mixed up." Mr. Yang quickly saw that in Hayek's warnings about the dangers of economic centralization lay both the ultimate explanation for the tragedies of his youth — and the predicaments of China's present. "In a country where the sole employer is the state," Hayek had observed, "opposition means death by slow starvation." The Sharyl Attkisson approach Attkisson is a dogged reporter, driven by a strong skepticism of government. Producers at CBS News once nicknamed her “Pit Bull,” a source said, because she gets on a story and won’t let go. But that is seen as both a strength and a weakness. Her drive can produce great journalism, but it can also cause her to push stories to the point that colleagues — especially those of a more progressive bent — suspect a political agenda. Some attacks on gun rights coming from dubiously claimed 'gun owners' Whether or not Eisendrath is really a gun owner is hardly relevant--he's a domestic enemy either way. Then again, if he is not, that says something about his integrity, and that of the "gun control" movement. 'Gun control': The 'gateway tyranny' On this Memorial Day, let us vow not to dishonor the sacrifices of the men and women who fought and died for our freedoms. Let us vow to keep that gateway forever closed. Let us vow to convey an unambiguous message to every government official who wishes to open that gateway: You shall not pass. How I spent the day. A nice bright and shiny morning found me at a friend's house casting lead ingots and learning some fine points of casting bullets myself. We used a turkey fryer base and iron skillets to melt the various raw material -- wheel weights, lead pipe, etc. -- into ingots using muffin tins as molds. Each lot was marked as to raw material used. We ended up with 76 ingots ready to go into the cast pot to be made, eventually, into boolits. Logistics: "A lesson in futility." California gun shop owner: 9mm ammo ‘has a shelf life of about 5 minutes’ Of Kokesh, John Parker and Fort Sumters. Alan W. Mullenax comments on Latest on Kokesh: “We will see you on the front lines of freedom on July 4th, 2013 for this, The Final American Revolution.” Gotta be honest, I don't know what to make of the dude. However, if he does in fact serve as a John Parker, I got no bitch. I'm of the opinion that patriots, what few are left, need a kick in the ass to get started. We constantly rail about no Fort Sumters. Mostly because of comfort and cowardice, again in my opinion. Personally, at the least I support the guy. Hell, I may even show up to the party depending on how things develop. It's important to remember that Samuel Adams and John Hancock were in Lexington on the night of April 18th. I have no doubt that the initial confrontation was thought out, staged, and executed. I have no bitch with that either. If this gig starts the party rolling, I have no bitch with that either. A. Captain Parker did not march his unit up to the British roadblock on the Boston Neck and demand entrance. The Patriots contrived a situation over many months, if not years, to make the British come to THEM, not the other way around. That was because they were serious men, cognizant of the weight of leadership responsibility and convinced that while they would not back down, that they would surrender the vital moral high ground of refusing to take the first shot while standing upon their rights as Englishmen under the English Constitution. Get that? SERIOUS men. Whatever egos they had were subordinated to the task at hand. They did not try to execute wild hair ideas by posting a circular on the village green. Every move was fully thought out before execution. What thought, what reflection, what responsibility, what preparation and organization does Kokesh's proposed action demonstrate? If he wants to bet his own ass on such an ill-thought venture that's one thing. Risking others is something else again. But any comparison between Kokesh and Parker is both historically ignorant and insulting to Parker's memory. To underline the above: Parker was just one small cog in a liberty organization. He was responsible to both his men and to the resistance leadership of the colony of Massachusetts. This was, as I noted above, the result of years of organization and preparation -- political, social and military. If Parker was urged to stand his ground by Sam Adams (as seems likely, since it was a change plan from what he had agreed to with his men earlier in the morning), then it was because Adams convinced Parker that the General Gage had finally stuck his official dick in the moral and political grinder. Remember that the British column was not only a raid for firearms but an attempt to capture the resistance leadership in the form of Adams and Hancock. Gage HOPED to accomplish both without a fight, but in his arrogance he didn't foresee what a political victory he was handing the resistance if it didn't happen the way he'd planned. The BRITISH had marched out of Boston under arms to work their will upon the Colonists. They were plainly the aggressor, not the other way around. No matter who fired the first shot, WHERE that shot was fired was vitally important in the propaganda predicate to the Revolution. Kokesh, if he can maintain his dope-fogged attention span, ought to read and internalize a little more history. B. Mullenax says: "We constantly rail about no Fort Sumters. Mostly because of comfort and cowardice, again in my opinion." Since I am the principal advocate of the phrase "No Fort Sumters" it is presumably me that he's criticizing as cowardly and comfortable. He is entitled to his opinion. But I say that the Founders would not have thought so. Their entire record from the Stamp Act to 19 April 1775 demonstrates their appreciation of the political and military realities that they faced. How many provocations did they refuse to answer with violence, preferring to take as much time as they could to lay the groundwork for 19 April when they maneuvered the British into dancing to their tune? Many. They used those provocations to continue to build their case against the King and his ministers, to continue to build their own rival political and military structures, Again, they understood how vital it was for them not to take the first shot, nor even the second or third, but to absorb the blows until they were as fully ready as they could make themselves. That was not cowardice, nor addiction to comfort. It was smart and, in the end, through many other trials, tribulations and sacrifices IT WORKED. The historical record shows that the Confederates, by allowing themselves to be manipulated by Lincoln into firing on Fort Sumter, lost whatever moral high ground they had. C. So, does this make those of us who are risking our asses standing our ground while defying these new laws of King Barack and his minions on the state level (no new federal laws having been enacted) cowards and comfort addicts, or merely smart, responsible people who rightly fail to jump at the latest "call to action" on the Facebook page of an historically-amnesiac, irresponsible anarchist doper? This is serious business, people, and ought to be prosecuted by serious people who feel the weight of the responsibility that it entails. When you are talking about initiating another civil war that will stack up bodies by the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands or even millions, there is no place for impatience, recklessness or failure to think things through. Contriving to surrender the moral high ground at the beginning of the conflict is to wink at the prospect of the failure of one's own cause. What then IS Kokesh's cause? Anarchy? Yeah, that'll work. But to what purpose and in whose interest? History will judge that. And somewhere the Founders will be weeping in righteous anger and frustration that we paid no attention to their successful template of liberty. But comparing Kokesh to Captain Parker? Pull the other one. Yeah. In the wake of the Gunwalker Scandal, I can see why he'd think that. Durbin not sure if bloggers should be ‘entitled to constitutional protection’ “But here is the bottom line — the media shield law, which I am prepared to support, and I know Sen. Graham supports, still leaves an unanswered question, which I have raised many times: What is a journalist today in 2013? We know it’s someone that works for Fox or AP, but does it include a blogger? Does it include someone who is tweeting? Are these people journalists and entitled to constitutional protection?

Obama To Media: Support the Stop Me Before I Kill Again Act In the original Die Hard movie, John McClane is desperately trying to get the police to notice terrorists have taken over Nakatomi Tower. He’s already pulled the fire alarm and called 911, but no one had taken him seriously. Finally, an officer is dispatched to check it out and, after a half-hearted look, he decides there’s nothing happening and starts to leave. It’s then McClane throws a terrorist’s body out a window and onto the hood of the patrol car and says the famous line, “Welcome to the party, pal!” That character, Sgt. Al Powell, would recognize how the progressive mainstream media feels this week with the revelation the federal government, headed by their guy, attempted to criminalize what they do for a living by claiming Fox News reporter James Rosen was a “co-conspirator” to espionage for essentially doing his job, their jobs. Hundreds of dead from the Obama administration’s Fast and Furious program didn’t interest the Democrat Media Complex. Neither did the cronyism of “green” loans to campaign donors or the illegal “recess appointments” to the National Labor Relations Board and Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Neither did the president’s decision to refuse to enforce the immigration laws in any way other than cheering his implementation of the “DREAM Act” without it having been passed by Congress, or his choice to not defend the Defense of Marriage Act which, agree with it or not, is the law of the land. There are many more scandals and abuses of power that would be 48-point headlines if the man in the White House had an R after his name instead of a D, and that’s before we even get to the disaster of Benghazi and the IRS targeting political opposition to the president. But now that the Obama administration has targeted their progressive media allies themselves, journalists suddenly have perked up a bit. Welcome to the party, pal.

The same questions repeat themselves over and over again after all these years: Why? Why were so many people killed and why did the world choose to remain silent?” The rise of the fourth branch of government In the new regulatory age, presidents and Congress can still change the government’s priorities, but the agencies effectively run the show based on their interpretations and discretion. The rise of this fourth branch represents perhaps the single greatest change in our system of government since the founding. We cannot long protect liberty if our leaders continue to act like mere bystanders to the work of government. We, the People. Remembrance. In the spring of 1866 the Ladies Memorial Association of Columbus, Georgia passed a resolution to set aside one day annually to memorialize the Confederate dead. Additionally, the secretary of the association, Mrs. Charles J. (Mary Ann) Williams was directed to author a letter inviting the ladies in every Southern state to join them in the observance. The letter was written in March of 1866 and sent to all of the principal cities in the South . . . The date for the holiday was selected by Mrs. Elizabeth Rutherford Ellis. She chose April 26, the first anniversary of Confederate General Johnston's final surrender to General Sherman at Bennett Place, NC. For many in the South, that marked the official end of the Civil War. On April 26, 1866, tens of thousands of Southern women commemorated the first Confederate Memorial Day. Some, however, in the northernmost portions of the South did not participate because their flowers were not yet in bloom. Consequently, they selected dates later in the spring to hold their first Confederate Memorial Days. For example, parts of Virginia chose May 10, commemorating Stonewall Jackson's death. Near Petersburg, VA, they chose June 9, the anniversary of a significant battle there. Others opted for Jefferson Davis' birthday, June 3. To the present, Southern states continue to have Confederate Memorial days. Though most are still on April 26, others continue to be later in the year. In 1868, General John A. Logan, who was the commander in chief of the Union Civil War Veterans Fraternity called the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), launched the Memorial Day holiday that is currently observed in the entire United States. According to General Logan's wife, he emulated the practices of Confederate Memorial Day. She wrote that Logan "said it was not too late for the Union men of the nation to follow the example of the people of the South in perpetuating the memory of their friends who had died for the cause they thought just and right." -- Wikipedia. Here in Alabama both Confederate & Yankee memorial days are taken as a holiday by state employees, although not much memorializing gets done. It is more generally "celebrated" with the conspicuous backyard consumption of pig meat and beer. This occurs in a country and a state which falsely prides itself on being more patriotic than anyplace else. For myself, I have always marked both -- and not with a barbeque. Other countries and peoples have their own memorial days: the Brits and their Commonwealth countries have Rembrance Day on 11 November, marking the end of the "Great War" with the wearing of poppies, inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields. The Germans have Volkstrauertag, celebrated on the second Sunday before Advent in mid-November. The Israelis have Yom Hazikaron in early April, just before their independence day observances and, of course, Yom Hashoa, Holocaust Remembrance Day, which this year was noted on 8 April. Culture is transmitted by the collective memory of its people. A people without a memory of who they are and where they came from -- a people without a history -- will soon cease to exist. Collective memory is, of course, not the same as collectivist memory, which serves the ruling elites of whatever party is in power. Orwell's description of the Memory Hole is a classic representation of this process. Today, we are faced with government-run "schools" whose entire function seems to be the consignment of the Founders' Republic -- and all the sacrifices that were required over the centuries to establish and maintain it -- down the memory hole of the collectivism that animates this so-called "public education." All the more important, then, for those of us who understand this subversive process to do what we can with our children, our families and our friends to mark and maintain the memory of those who sacrificed to defend the Republic -- and, in the process, to transmit the reasons for their sacrifices.

Mandates Strict Gun Control Laws Zersetzung. The Stasi perfected the technique of psychological harassment of perceived enemies known as Zersetzung – a term borrowed from chemistry which literally means "corrosion" or "undermining". By the 1970s, the Stasi had decided that methods of overt persecution which had been employed up to that time, such as arrest and torture, were too crude and obvious. It was realised that psychological harassment was far less likely to be recognised for what it was, so its victims, and their supporters, were less likely to be provoked into active resistance, given that they would often not be aware of the source of their problems, or even its exact nature. Zersetzung was designed to side-track and "switch off" perceived enemies so that they would lose the will to continue any "inappropriate" activities. Tactics employed under Zersetzung generally involved the disruption of the victim’s private or family life. This often included breaking into homes and messing with the contents – moving furniture, altering the timing of an alarm, removing pictures from walls or replacing one variety of tea with another. Other practices included smear campaigns, denunciation, provocation, psychological warfare, psychological subversion, wiretapping, bugging, mysterious phone calls or unnecessary deliveries, even including sending a vibrator to a target's wife. Usually victims had no idea the Stasi were responsible. Many thought they were losing their minds, and mental breakdowns and suicide could result. One great advantage of the harassment perpetrated under Zersetzung was that its subtle nature meant that it was able to be denied. That was important given that the GDR was trying to improve its international standing during the 1970s and 80s. Zersetzung techniques have since been adopted by other security agencies, particularly the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).

On Gun Control and the Great American Debate Over Individualism What really has people upset about Wilson’s plastic pistol is the absence of permission inherent in the project. The idea that people might own something as dangerous and personally empowering as a firearm without society’s permission is what has always given gun-control advocates the fantods. That’s really what we talk about when we talk about guns: the power of the individual in relation to the collective, and the extent to which each of us needs to live by the permission of the rest. That argument is going nowhere, in all senses of the word. No big surprise here. The IRS, like most government agencies, leans left. It’s just a fact of life. Voices. Magpul Joins Sheriffs' Lawsuit Magpul Industries, an Erie, Colorado, based manufacturer of firearms accessories, announced today that it has joined 53 Colorado County Sheriffs and other plaintiffs in filing a lawsuit this morning to invalidate gun control measures recently passed by the Colorado legislature and enacted by Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.

California Approves $92M Ammo Tax to Combat Gun Violence This is in addition to Dickinson’s AB 760, which would impose a five cent tax on every round of ammunition sold in California.

The new poster boy for the Second Amendment? Adam Kokesh busted at doper protest. Back in my Benedict Arnold period, we had lots of jokes about anarchists. One I recall was -- There's two anarchists sitting at the kitchen table making Molotov cocktails when one asks, “So, who are we going to throw these at?” The other gets a disgusted look on his face and replies: “What are you, a stinking intellectual?” In the fistfight that results, the kitchen blows up, taking the two anarchists with it. "Adam Kokesh arrested in Philly." The link was sent to me by a reader with this disgusted comment: So much for the seriousness of this idiot; he can’t even concentrate on a mission or objective. So he’ll sell out his bleepin’ precious gun insurrection for a momentary high. Next week he’ll sell out the dopers for the shooters, or maybe the butt jockeys. It’s really all about Adam and His Magic Ego, isn’t it Adam? Good question. It strikes me that the man is, at least, fundamentally unserious about the deadly-earnest task he has proposed to lead. If all he was risking was his own ass, well, that's one thing. But it isn't. Interesting, but it won't do the armed citizenry much good in the immediate run.

So far, thanks to generous donors, we have received 21 AR15 30-rounders of various makes, 10 AK 30- & 40-rounders of various makes, 4 M14 USGI 20-rounders (my contribution), 1 CETME 7.62 NATO 20-rounder and two extended pistol mags. This makes a total of 38, so we're well on our way to our target of 100 magazines for me to smuggle into Colorado and distribute in July. There are others on the way, including some that were shipped into my local Bass Pro Shop for pick-up later today. My sincere thanks to all the readers who have so generously responded and I'll keep you informed as the numbers rise. NOTE: I must say that the magazines which came in buried in a flat-rate box containing almost 1200 expended .223/5.56 brass was a particular thrill. Thanks! "For some young boys like Chanse Mullinix, learning to shoot a gun is a part of growing up and a part of America’s history." Unbelievable that this originally appeared in Pravda-on-the-Potomac: Guns offer gauge of a boy's growing up.

Kokesh’s Open Carry March on Washington is an extremely dangerous development—for the armed protestors involved, the police (and their credibility), the gun rights movement and the gun control movement. But then so was the American Revolution. Just sayin’. You in? If you want to know who put the "K" in "Kalifornia" it was NRA/Calguns/prag-supported sellout bastards like this one. Trutanich shows real public nuisances are politicians who discard supporters A story reported in March by CBS Los Angeles about a draft ordinance to confiscate “public nuisance clips” has been gaining notice recently, and a commonality many gun rights advocates commenting on it shares is they’re missing a key element, probably because most don’t know the back story. Most are focused on the outrageousness of demanding such tyrannical action, which are actually unsurprising considering where this is happening, and considering the anti-gun fanatic who proposed the ordinance, L.A. City Councilmember Paul Krekorian. Few are remarking on the hypocritical irony of City Attorney Carmen Trutanich not only drafting it, but adding his personal endorsement. “We believe this ordinance supports Councilmember Krekorian’s interest in getting high-capacity ammunition magazines off our streets,” Trutanich remarked. “Cities across the country must stand up to America’s gun violence epidemic and do whatever possible to save lives and spare families from the needless tragedy of firearm death and injury.” Why is this hypocritical and ironic? “Before he became city attorney, Trutanich's law firm represented the National Rifle Association in litigation against L.A. and other jurisdictions that passed gun control laws,” LA Weekly reminded readers. “Trutanich got the NRA endorsement in 2009, and said at the time that he did not see a need for new gun control measures. When he was criticized on the issue during that campaign, he said that his law partner, Chuck Michel, handled the NRA cases." ATF agents conducting sting let man leave store with gun So, what was this? Professional courtesy?' ATF agents let a man armed with a gun and threatening to shoot someone walk out of their storefront sting operation in Milwaukee last summer, failing to arrest him or take the weapon, the Journal Sentinel has learned. The suspect, Bobby Ball - a felon with a violent history - promised to return to the store and sell the agents that gun and others but he never came back, according to sources familiar with the case. Instead he spent four months on the loose, until he was picked up in Minnesota on a drunken-driving arrest.

I hate to sound like a broken record, or more accurately, I hate that I am forced to keep calling attention to the fact that not enough are stepping forward to do something so simple as to share a link or donate a dollar, and will thus repeat the admonition that if any of us are ever caught up in the government's net, we'd better pray someone will give a damn about our plight."

Now it's concluded I picked both remaining parts up and actually they aren't too bad. 30 is the better issue for me mainly consisting of Pym chatting with Eternity and discovering that he's the Scientist Supreme (and why Reed & Tony aren't) Good stuff with Hawkeye too. Anyone know where the UK Avengers title is up to US wise ? I think it's on the Venom arc of Mighty Avengers at the moment. Last Edit: Jul 22, 2019 8:11:08 GMT by Philip Ayres waaaaay behind Only on Mighty I think. They are pretty much I think almost there with New for doing Secret Invasion.

Hmmm, this only took up 4 UK issues, but was originally printed across 13 US issues, which is just silly as the story ran out of steam around 8 parts ago. The ending is not helped by much murky art. One of those stories that started well and slid into manure. Luckily it was released weekly in the US comics, anything less would've hurt it more.

I haven't read any of the US issues with the California stuff, so I'll give the next issue of Essential a try nonetheless as I like Matt Fraction.

Fantastic Four Adventures #14 Last Edit: Feb 4, 2011 23:22:43 GMT by The Doctor Post by Philip Ayres on Feb 4, 2011 21:04:30 GMT oooh, must pick that up then. I've read Hickman's Secret Warriors and it's great. I quite enjoyed it. He writes a good Reed. I daresay this will be a monthly pick-up now. Also randomly read Marvel Heroes #31. Much better than I expected from a kiddy comic. It actually has several words on each page, for one thing (unusual for mags aimed at this age-group) and features the Super-Apes and Klaw the Master of Sound! As I have at last found a newsagent in Edinburger that stocks pretty much every UK comic** I shall be trying to support the newsstand a bit more in future. Reading material is shockingly hard to find in the capital's newsagents Hurray for the McColls in the St James Centre Under 10 mins walk from the office. Huzzah Post by legios on Feb 5, 2011 21:43:01 GMT I picked up the start of the UK reprints of Hickman's FF run as well - fortunately Falkirk is well supplied with places that carry UK comics() - I was quite impressed, the characterisation was spot on, (Hickman deftly managed to make a post-Civil War Reed Richards a viable heroic character again as well - something I wasn't sure how they were going to manage) and there was a nice sense of the kind of ludicrous scale idea that should be the FF's stock-in-trade as well. Good stuff, might well pick this up on a ongoing basis. Paninivision - Marvel US Reprints in the UK Feb 11, 2011 0:48:44 GMT Feb 4, 2011 19:22:10 GMT The Doctor said: Got it today.

Very much in the mould of that almost extinct species ie an actual movie-tie in mag in the 80's style. Decent comic strip by Fred Van Lente and Ron Lim, nice poster art, some puzzles, concept art, etc. A lot better than the usual kiddy fare. I shall look out for that tomorrow. Paninivision - Marvel US Reprints in the UK May 1, 2011 19:59:13 GMT It is well worth picking up. I grabbed a copy yesterday morning and was quite impressed by the general production. As Ralph say's very much a blast from the past. I've been working my way through a pile of comics this weekend as well:- Fantastic Four Adventures ish 17: I'm coming to love the Pannini reprint titles. Sure, they may be a while behind the US titles but that doesn't really bother me. What I do like is getting so much content for my money, it is a nice nostalgic throwbacks to the UK comics of my childhood. This issue gives us parts 2 and 3 of Solve Everything - a cracking story showing just how firm a lock Hickman has on all of the main cast but especially Reed and Sue - along with the usual colour reprint of a classic Stan Lee and Jack Kirby issue. Solve Everything is fantastic cosmic scale bonkersness but also has some really good small scale character work - the hallmark of good FF writing. (I do like the very clever tie between one of the flashback scenes here and one of the issues of Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D series as well. It is subtle and the scene still works if you aren't reading the other series, which is how good continuity stuff should be done) With content like that at a cover price barely more than a single US issue I really can't argue with it at all. Essential X-Men ish 17: Ralph advised me that this title had now stopped reprinting issues of Legacy, which was what had driven me away from it, and was printing the Dark X-Men stuff. Turns out this issue is the end of the Dark X-Men material. Even allowing for the fact that this is the end of a story arc I don't think I'd have been very happy paying US cover price for this stuff. On the other hand at the UK retail I'm inclined to cut it a bit more slack and enjoy the bits that are quite fun (Norman Osborn having one of his really not so bright days for one). Might keep picking this up for a bit as it moves into reprinting siege stuff, see how it sits with me for a while. S.H.I.E.L.D Infinity: Honestly, I had thought that the S.H.I.E.L.D series' little break was going to turn into a cancellation by stealth but here we have a special and further issues due in the summer. The special is on the one hand really just a holding pattern, it doesn't seem to do anything significant to advance the overall plot, just filling in some stuff around the edges. On the other hand, one of the joys of the series has been watching the Brotherhood of the Shield save the world in bonkers ways throughout unrecorded Marvel Universe history, and on that front it doesn't dissappoint - after all, where else can you see Archimedes pilot the Colossus of Rhodes into a fistfight in ancient greece against a giant alien robot? It reads a bit like offcuts that have been swept together with a few making-of pages to make up the numbers, but some of them are very good offcuts so I will forgive it quite a bit. Paninivision - Marvel US Reprints in the UK May 27, 2011 18:53:00 GMT Post by Philip Ayres on May 27, 2011 18:53:00 GMT I picked up the latest FF Adventures yesterday and thought "wuh?" this isn't where I remember the story finishing. So today I fished the last issue out and it took me ages to work out how it fitted in. Paninivision - Marvel US Reprints in the UK Jun 1, 2011 17:37:01 GMT Anyone know which issues of New, Mighty and Dark Avengers the UK titles are up to?

This year marks the 30th consecutive year for Taiwan’s participation in the global event’s The Illustrators’ Exhibition, starting with the official selection of Su-hsia Hsu’s Water Buffalo and Straw Man in 1989. Over the last three decades, a total of 43 Taiwanese illustrators have been selected 59 times at this prestigious event. Organized by the Taipei Book Fair Foundation (TBFF) under the auspices of Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, the 2018 Taiwan pavilion is curated by Page Tsou and themed Taiwan! Library of the Fantastic. In addition to a special exhibition celebrating 30 years of Taiwan illustrators in Bologna, the pavilion also features a variety of seminars and book signing events featuring Tsou, Chu-li Chen, Jimmy Liao, and Leo Tang, as well as the five artists selected for this year’s book fair. They are set to demonstrate Taiwan’s prowess in the art of original picture books. At a March 20 preshow media event, MOC Deputy Minister Hsiao-ching Ting said that the digital exhibition showcasing 30 years of Taiwanese artists and their works in Bologna is set to bring a rich and profound sensory experience to the showgoers in Italy. Ting highlighted the previous 59-time selections of Taiwanese artists’ works in Bologna as testament to the country’s achievement in illustration art, which speaks to the global readers by transcending the limitations of language. Her remarks were echoed by TBFF’s director Rex How, who noted that a picture not only speaks a thousand words but also resonates with the reader even better than printed words. According to TBFF chairman James C. M. Chao, five Taiwanese illustrators are among the 77 illustrators selected this year from over 1,000 candidates. Chao also added that Taiwan’s diminutive size belies its creative potential. Jender Books chairman Lai-tang Luo, a fervent supporter of Taiwan illustrators, also said he is optimistic about the market potential exhibited by local artists, and will continue to sponsor their trips to Italy. Hsiu Yin Wang, executive director of TBFF, noted that the 2018 Taiwan pavilion has been expanded to cover an area of 192 square meters, complete with a 12-meter-long book wall, a 100x70 cm portfolio installation, and three large-screen projection displays that showcase selected works of local artists for the Illustrators’ Exhibitions over the last three decades. Continuing the acclaimed Museum of the Fantastic from last year, this year the Taiwan pavilion will also provide a peaceful environment for showgoers to experience Taiwan’s fantastic illustration art, according to curator Page Tsou. Taiwan has shown increasing attention to illustrators in recent years, according to feature illustrator Leo Tang. Tang is enthusiastic about absorbing new creative trends at the book fair. This sentiment is shared by Sara Kuo, consultant for the Taiwanese pavilion’s international publication project. Kuo said she hopes to enhance the global competitiveness of local publications via exchanging viewpoints with consultants from other countries. Illustrators selected for the event this year—including Hsu-Kung Liu, Cindy Wume, Yun-Zhu Liu, and Chuentz Wang—all expect the experience in Bologna to enrich their future works.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line426

In the Middle Ages, the locality was the site of the ancient Old Prussian settlement and fort Twangste. In 1255, during the Northern Crusades, a new fortress was built on the site by the Teutonic Knights and was named Königsberg in honor of King Ottokar II of Bohemia, who led two crusade expeditions against the pagan Old Prussians. The town was successively part of the monastic State of the Teutonic Order, enfeoffed to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, then part of Prussia and Germany. The city was heavily damaged during World War II. Its ruins were occupied by the Red Army on 9 April 1945, and what remained of the German population fled or was later removed by force. It became a Russian city and was renamed Kaliningrad on July 4, 1946, According to the 2010 Census, its population was 431,902	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line428

Sci., 19, 505-514, doi: 10.3319/TAO.2008.19.5.505(A) Vertical measurements of ozone were made using a tethered balloon at the Linyuan site in Kaohsiung County, southern Taiwan. Ozone was monitored at altitudes of 0, 100, 300, 500, and 1000 m from November 23 to 25 in 2005. The potential temperature profiles revealed a stable atmosphere during the study period, largely because of the dominance of the high-pressure system and nocturnal radiation cooling close to the surface. The mixing height was low (50 - 300 m), particularly in the late night and early morning. The surface ozone concentrations that were predicted using TAPM (The Air Pollution Model) were high (33.7 - 119 ppbv) in the daytime (10:00 - 16:00) and were low (10 - 40 ppbv) at other times; the predictions of which were consistent with the observations. The simulated surface ozone concentrations reveal that costal lands typically had higher ozone concentrations than those inland, because most industrial parks are located in or close to the boundaries of Kaohsiung City. Both measurements and simulations indicate that daytime ozone concentrations decreased quickly with increasing height at altitudes below 300 m; while nighttime ozone concentrations were lower at low altitudes (50 to 300 m) than at higher altitudes, partly because of dry deposition and titration of surface ozone by the near-surface nitrogen oxides (NOx) and partly because of the existence of the residual layer above the stable nocturnal boundary layer. The simulations show a good correlation between the maximum daytime surface ozone concentration and average nighttime ozone concentration above the nocturnal boundary layer.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line429

Murphy is back Re what counts? Peter's the story OT: Quacking up 5-in-one pub Expositor errors Bono's back Updated 29/12/10 re John Downing link Eric Dowd, who died from cancer on Christmas Day, was never a Toronto Sun Family member but he helped mentor many of us along the way. The veteran Queen's Park reporter was 79 and, as Premier Dalton McGinty says in a CTV obit, was "a fixture" at the Ontario legislature for decades. Eric, who died at St. Michael's Hospital, was one of those gentle people in print media who made novices feel at ease at first glance. Apparently, not so with his editors. The CTV obit quotes numerous media people touched by Eric's presence along the way, from his years on staff at the Canadian Press, Globe and Mail and the defunct Toronto Telegram, and as a Queen's Park freelancer since the 1970s. As competitive and professional as Eric was, he always had time to share his journalistic experiences with others who were keen on learning the ropes. Ian Urquhart, editorial page editor of the Toronto Star, says in a Star obit Dowd mentored him as a cub reporter. The CTV story says Wendy McCann, CP's Ontario, bureau chief, also remembers Dowd's willingness to help younger reporters. "He really helped the next generation put politics into context, and without that context we wouldn't have been doing our jobs," said McCann. In the early 1960s, Eric was one of many selfless Globe and Mail reporters and editors who made a difference in the lives of copy boys, including this blogger, who had an interest in becoming reporters by offering advice. Eric's passion for the job never faded, covering the legislature from the 1960s to 2010, putting in long days even during his cancer treatments, says CTV. He was on the job two days before he died. Former Toronto Sun editor John Downing has posted a tribute to Eric on his Downing's Views blog. His comments include regrets that the Sun never hired Eric after the Tely folded. Downing, one of Eric's former editors at the Tely, writes: "Boy, he could bug you. And then charm with a gentle observation. Tough but fair. And with an inner strength that had him write about his adopted province right up to the final days of his battle with cancer that took him at 79 on Christmas Day." Our condolences to his family. A remembrance service will be held in the Trull North Toronto Funeral Home, 2704 Yonge St., Tuesday, Jan. 4, at 11 a.m. Updated 6/01/11 re daughter's comments Ken Robertson wore numerous hats in his lifetime, but his pen earned him the most publicity - as a Toronto Telegram and Toronto Sun (Day Oner) newsman and as an author. After his death from cancer Wednesday at Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, we invited memories of Ken from all who crossed paths with him in his 87 years. Lynn Tymczyszyn, Ken's daughter, writes: "Ken Robertson was my Dad. Thank you all for your comments. I am sitting here reading them with tears in my eyes. "Dad recovered from cancer surgery in November 2009, but the cancer came back. He was not feeling well for the past few months but kept going. He wanted to finish his book. He had two chapters to go. "Jack Hutton suggested his news buddies send me stories about my Dad and we will include them in the book. I think that is a fantastic idea. Dad would love it. "Dad also asked me to write about his new Great Grandson "Charlie" who he loved so much. He said something about this baby made everything perfect. "My Dad asked me to publish the book, so I will try. I will welcome any stories you can send to me. I have many memories, but some of my favorite times with Dad were sailing on "Shadow" across Lake Ontario. I would phone him every day asking if we could go. "I miss him so much. We are planning a Celebration of his Life, I think at Windcharm, in the spring. I hope all of his friends will come. John Iaboni, a Toronto Sun Day Oner in sports, writes: "Well, our Sun Family has lost another great one. But what a life he lived and continues to live because those of us privileged to have worked with Kenny will always be touched by his ever-present smile, by the words of encouragement he provided in the heat of the battle and how he always ensured we knew how proud he was when the job was well done. "I first met Kenny in 1968 as a teenager working in the Tely's incredibly seasoned and talented sports department. My initial thought? What a nice man. Time working together proved my first impressions to be correct. "From those beginnings through those wild, crazy and proud days as Day Oners at the Sun, he never changed. It was a comfort for me to come to work each day and see him there, the face of calm yet prepared to dig in to kick the opposition's butt - and believe me, EVERY department at the Sun did that more often than not - always ready with a hello and constantly showing a caring interest in one's life away from work. "It was a sad day when he left the Sun but, as I recall, he talked about his love for boating, life in Orillia and his family so he was ready to move on. "Tally ho, Ken. "To Kenny's family, my deepest condolences." John Downing, a Toronto Sun Day Oner, pays tribute to his old friend in a blog posting at Downing's Views. Here are his first few paragraphs: "The Toronto Telegram died in 1971 but its memories live on with a shrinking band of survivors from the final wonderful and wacky decade. "We just lost another one when Kenny Robertson died at 87. He wasn't famous. The tales of the newspaper war of Star vs. Tely in the 1960s seldom mention his name. The histories of the Sun skip by this Day Oner. "But anyone who has ever been an editor or laboured in the trenches, when deadlines harass and the damned opposition probably has the pickup pictures or the key quotes, know that it is the Kenny Robertsons of journalism who form the spine of your paper, not the bosses or the stars. "When they're agreeable as well as dependable, when they don't grumble as they ignore food or sleep until they get the story, then you have the bonus that was Kenny Robertson, two-way man." The full Downing tribute can be read here. Cal Millar, former Toronto Sun Day Oner cop desk chief and recently retired from the Toronto Star, writes: "Just wanted to drop a line and thank you for letting everyone know about Ken’s death. He will be sadly missed. "I first met Ken while I was working on provincial dailies before making my way in 1967 to the Toronto Telegram. "He had a drive that never stopped and was an inspiration to young reporters. "After joining the Tely, it was a privilege to cover stories with him in Toronto and be on assignments with him across the country and elsewhere. "He never went away without getting the story and was never satisfied unless there were no more facts to get. "It was also a great honor working with him when the Toronto Sun began in 1971. He (as city editor) knew the job of a reporter and knew what to expect when someone was sent out on an assignment. "Sadly, with the death of Ken Robertson and far too many others I have known who predeceased him, our industry has lost a lot of talent and experience that will never be replaced." Hugh Wesley, former veteran Toronto Sun photographer and photo chief, writes: "He was one of the very best humans I have ever known, and most alive. "I'll miss him and his bright quick mind. RIP Kenny." Christi Carmichael writes: "Ken was a colleague and friend of my dad's from their days at the Tely "Two years ago, I was hit by a car while crossing the street. My dad forwarded my email I'd sent about it to Ken. Within days, I received a parcel in the mail. "Enclosed was Ken's Windcharm book and a lovely note wishing me a swift recovery and hoping that I would enjoy reading his stories while I healed. "And I surely did! (The stories) were so vivid and poignant. I loved them. I told him so. And we became pen pals. He was so kind, sweet, talented and funny. "I will sorely miss his emails, but I'm pretty sure that I'll still hear his words in my head. "Tally Ho, indeed." Updated re obit (no visitation or service at Ken's request) The Toronto Sun has lost another Day Oner with the death yesterday of Ken Robertson, a former city editor, WW2 vet, real estate agent, sailor, private eye, trucking firm owner, author and story teller supreme. Ken, who underwent a major operation last year and battled back for a Remembrance Day release from Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, died there from cancer last night. He was 87. Today's Toronto Star obit says at Ken's request, there will be no visitation or service. If desired, memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. Vernon Kenward Robertson got his start in media prior to WW2 when hired by the Canadian Press to run copy to the Star, Telegram and the Globe. "I was the e-mail version of the late thirties," Ken said in his book. "I worked every weekday after school from 4 p.m. to midnight, six nights a week and on Saturdays to 10 p.m. Salary? Seven dollars a week." Ken freelanced for papers for nine years before hired by the Tely in 1964 as a reporter/photographer. When the Tely folded on Oct. 30, 1971, Ken was one of 62 employees who launched the Toronto Sun on Nov. 1, 1971. "I still look back proudly on that feat as a miracle," Ken, who left the Sun in 1975 to work in real estate and then the provincial natural resources ministry, said in his book. To have known Ken Robertson beyond his many titles, was to have read his 2007 book Windcharm - a dream delayed, which drew readers from around the world and made him an Orillia-area celebrity. He was thrilled when a tourist from Europe looked him up while on vacation in Canada and told him he had purchased his book in a Paris airport and loved it. Ken, a father of two, grandfather and great-grandfather, was working on another book about his Orillia-area retreat, affectionately called Windcharm, when cancer returned him to hospital. Memories of Ken Robertson will be posted on TSF (e-mail us.) You can also post comments in the Star's condolences guest book here. Don McKellar, a longtime friend, said Ken entered hospital on Friday. "Ken was fortunate to be able to live independently in his home on the Sixth Concession to the very end," says McKellar. "Remarkable man." Vince Devitt, another longtime friend, tells TSF: "I managed to get to see him for a short visit this summer. He was his usual jovial self, pounding away on his new book. "I will miss him a whole lot." This blogger is a property owner, not a renter, thanks to Ken. He was in real estate in 1976 when he called the Sun at 10:30 p.m to tell me about a "doll house" in Etobicoke that would be perfect for a bachelor. So around midnight, armed with a flashlight, Ken gave me a tour of the one-bedroom house and within the hour we were signing the deal. That house served me well for 15 years. We kept in touch over the years and occasional phone calls from Windcharm seldom were brief. When Ken talked about his life, you listened. As lives go, Ken's life was full to the brim. We will remember him fondly. Tally ho, as he would write or say at the end of emails and phone calls, tally ho. If there is one Toronto Sun Family member this blogger owes big time it is Les Pyette,a key player in the success of the Toronto Sun and the man who said yes to a job application in 1975. Today, as he recovers from a recent bypass op, we wish him a speedy recovery and a Merry Christmas with family and friends in London. You the man, Les. If you want to avoid negativity during the holidays, tune into MSNBC's new Making a Difference website. Nothing but positive people doing positive things, thanks to a Brian Williams news segment that has become a force of its own. Imagine what could be done without left and right, them and us, just people making a difference. Will Bill Harris, John Doyle, Bill Brioux, Rob Salem or any other respectable television writer ever write a piece on why more series do not embrace Christmas theme episodes? Thought Blue Bloods, which has a strong family ties plot line, would have been a natural, but nyet. Same anticipation for Medium and others. Speaking of Blue Bloods, does Bill McCormack, the former Toronto police chief, watch the series? McCormack, chief from 1989 to 1995, is the son of a policeman and four of his five children became police officers. Who knows, maybe the series is based on his life. So who sold out the Toronto Sun's Page 2 to promotions? It was a tight and bright news page not so long ago. Pages 1 through 5 used to be bam, bam, bam tabloid pages. Why didn't the Toronto, Ottawa and Winnipeg Suns and other Sun Media newspapers join the London Free Press, Calgary Sun and Edmonton Sun and highlight the best 2010 photos snapped by individual photographers? Is there a PKP "noel" video for Sun Media employees this year? Updated 31/12/10re Ottawa Sun mixed entry The Dunlop Awards are long gone from the Sun Media landscape, but some newspapers in the chain are giving photographers an opportunity to highlight their best for 2010. Hear, hear. Some of the photos online to date would definitely have been Dunlop contenders. TSF has found five papers with 2010 photo highlights to date, posted by the Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and Winnipeg Suns and the London Free Press. Ottawa's mixed submission with photos snapped by Errol McGihon, Darren Brown and Tony Caldwell.

The Edmonton Sun's revolving door is moving again, with editor in chief Jose Rodriguez calling it quits, says a TSF tipster. Rodrigues, who has also been editor in chief of the Calgary Sun since January 2009, will continue as EIC in Calgary, says the tipster. His exit is the 10th voluntary departure at the Edmonton Sun in recent months. All Toronto Sun library clippings and photos must be on computer if, as a tipster reports, all of the originals are being packed and shipped to Barrie. "In order to make room for Sun TV in the Sun newsroom, or what’s left of it, the photo and print files are being moved to a warehouse in Barrie," says the TSF tipster. "I don’t know if it means the Barrie Examiner building, which may have some space in their building since it used to be a Beaver Lumber building on the northern edge of this snow belt city. "I wonder how anyone would access these files should they need something from them." Out of sight, out of mind. Speaking of morgues, the Toronto Telegram's clippings spanning 95 years were dispatched to Sun staffers on request after being transferred to computer. York University has 1.3 million Telegram prints and negatives in its library, with more than 1,000 images available online thanks to an experimental digitization project. York breaks it down to approximately 830,000 negatives and roughly 500,000 prints. Somehow, discarding vintage clippings and turning a massive photo library over to a university seems detached from the dedication and efforts of the legions of reporters and photographers. Ditto for shipping Sun files and photos off to remote building for lack of space at 333. We are talking about history. Like father - Larry Harvey. Like son - Shane Harvey. Like daughter - Gail Harvey. Like daughter - Robin Harvey. Four talented Canadians, two of them former Toronto Sun photographers. Shane and Gail have been in the spotlight during their post-Sun years, Shane for his music and Gail for her film making. Robin worked for the Toronto Star for years before retiring. Now, it's their dad's turn, with Shane's new documentary, Paper Promises, highlighting the musical talents of his 82-year-old father and what might have been in Nashville so long ago. (The 82-minute documentary is being aired exclusively on Super Channel for the next year. The DVD and soundtrack CD can be purchased here.) "It's a love story," Shane told TSF during a conversation from Vancouver. "I love my father. He's the real deal." Shane began working on the documentary in 2007, with his ex, Shelley Gillen, (a former Toronto Sun reporter) as the producer, and acclaimed songwriter Jim Vallance as music supervisor. Shane says Vallance, a veteran songwriter with Bryan Adams on his resume, calls his father a world class songwriter. The goal, says Shane, was to get his father on stage at the Grand Ole Opry with the song list he would have used had he made his Opry debut in the 1950s. And, on Oct. 21, 2008, Larry Harvey did just that - performing live, on stage at the Opry, singing eight songs to a full house, including his three children and four grandchildren. His wife was too ill to make the journey. "It was like he never left the stage," says Shane, who has since booked recording studio time for his father. Shane's documentary made its debut on Super Channel on Nov. 28 and the word is spreading fast. Joe Warmington wrote a column about Shane's father recently and Shane set up a Facebook page yesterday for updates on the documentary and his father. Father and son have appeared on CBC's As It Happens and the Telegram in St. John's published a lengthy article, with links to several songs. Shane says he is thankful he had the opportunity to complete his dad's journey to the Opry, a journey interrupted to raise a family. More on Shane here and more on Gail here. One talented family. Quote of the week comes from one of the hundreds of Sun Media employees who have been axed in the past decade: "I wake up every day thankful that I got axed from the Sun, as I enjoy my new job much more. It also reminds me about what I liked so much about the Sun: Working hard with fun, talented, smart dedicated people and having great bosses that care about you and your career." As we count down to the Toronto Sun's 40th anniversary next Nov. 1, TSF invites casualties of the Quebecor era to tell us how their lives have changed, for better or for worse. Each and every person axed by Sun Media has a story to tell. Congrats to Bob Elliott, the Toronto Sun's veteran baseball writer and author, who is the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's newest Jack Graney Award winner. Colleague Mike Rutsey says in a Sun story the award has been presented 12 times in 24 years and Elliott's name now mingles with the likes of Milt Dunnell and legendary announcers Ernie Harwell and Tom Cheek. The Graney award, in memory of the St. Thomas, Ontario, native, a major league player and announcer, is to "a representative of the media who has made a significant contribution to the game of baseball to Canada through their life’s work." That is a perfect fit for Elliott, 61, who will receive his award June 18 at the 2011 Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Previous winners: 1987: Neil MacCarl, Toronto Star; 1988: Milt Dunnell, Toronto Star; 1990: Austin “Dink” Carroll, Montreal Gazette; 1991: Joe Crysdale & Hal Kelly, CKEY; 1996: Dave Van Horne, TSN & CIQC; 2001: Tom Cheek, Toronto Blue Jays; 2002: Ernie Harwell, Detroit Tigers; 2003: Allan Simpson, Baseball America; 2004: Jacques Doucet, Montreal Expos; 2005: Len Bramson, TBS Sports; 2009: Ian MacDonald, Montreal Gazette. Elliott has been covering baseball and the Blue Jays for the Sun since 1987. The Hall of Fame's lengthy bio notes the Kingston, Ontario, native was born on Sept. 10, a birth date fittingly shared by Roger Maris and Joey Votto. Elliott, who launched his sports writing career at the Kingston Standard in March of 1966, has been nominated for the Cooperstown-based National Baseball Hall of Fame's J.G. Taylor Spink Award for three consecutive years. But still the bridesmaid, not the bride, three years running. You are due for Cooperstown, Bob. Like the Jays, Leafs, Raptors and Argos are fond of saying: Next year. Speaking of the London Free Press, the thinning Sun Media newspaper has axed its Saturday TV magazine for all readers. Joe Ruscitti, editor in chief, explains why in a Comment piece. "For most of you, there's no news in that, but about a quarter of daily subscribers were still getting the magazine on a by-request-only basis," he writes. "Not to worry. If you are a daily subscriber, you will still get all but the weekday and late night listings in the newspaper over the course of the week." TSF readers have been asking about this being the final year for the Toronto Sun Family blog. In a nutshell, the 40th anniversary of the Toronto Sun and five years of TSF sound like perfect numbers to make an exit. Truth is, while we continue to cheer for survivors still on the job and largely admire the job they do with what they have, the path PKP has taken Sun Media down has eliminated much of its heart. Many of the talented Sun vets who gave a damn are gone and the successful tabloid formula those same vets crafted has been eviscerated. A decade of Quebecor has killed Canada's greatest print media success story and nothing short of a change of ownership will turn the tide. So another year of TSF is ample time to have vets from the glory years tell their stories and to allow the newer generation of staffers to speak their minds. (Our favourite story at this time of the year? Shaking hands with Doug Creighton and Peter Worthington in the festive sixth floor executive room and being handed an envelope containing a week's pay - in cash. That was one of the many give backs in the pre-Quebecor years.) A final year of more positive TSF postings would be preferable, but the first four years clearly indicate that scenario is highly unlikely. PKP would have to experience a Scrooge-like epiphany, such as a vision of the ghosts of newsrooms past, to realize the damage he has done and change course. Until then, PKP is a billionaire with lots of toys and, sadly, his least favourite toy is print media. Employees know it, readers can sense it. The Canadian Journalism Foundation is requesting nominations for its 2011 Lifetime Achievement Award, an honour Doug Creighton, co-founder of the Toronto Sun, received in 2001. Two Canadian newspaper vets who come to mind are Peter Worthington, columnist and co-founder of the Toronto Sun, and Clark Davey, formerly Globe and Mail managing editor, Vancouver Sun publisher and Ottawa Citizen publisher. Worthington and Davey, both named to the defunct Canadian News Hall of Fame, are in their 80s and no doubt recognized by large numbers of younger journalists as career-changing mentors. CJF launched the award in 1996 and invites annual nominations based on: Body of journalistic work during career; Contribution to society through outstanding journalism; Contribution to the professional development of journalists; Contribution to the professional development of fellow journalists; Recognition and respect from peers and community The winner will be selected by a jury and presented at the annual awards gala. 2010: Lise Bissonnette; 2009: Joe Schlesinger; 2008: Sally Armstrong; 2007: Norman Webster; 2006: Knowlton Nash; 2005: Pierre Berton (posthumous); 2004: June Callwood; 2003: Doris Anderson; 2002: Trina McQueen; 2001: Doug Creighton; 2000: Mark Starowicz; 1999: Bernard Derome; 1998: Peter C. Newman; 1997: Peter Gzowski; 1996: Robert Fulford. CJF emphasises "commitment, integrity, passion and inspiration" in its search for an annual recipient and Doug Creighton filled those shoes quite comfortably in his decades in print media, from Toronto Telegram police reporter to president and CEO of the Sun. The backstabbing SOBs in the boardroom who ousted Doug in 1992 couldn't shine his shoes, but that is another story. Butch (The Beast) McLarty, a London blogger, shares his opinion of Eric Margolis, the London Free Press and Quebecor: I always enjoyed reading Eric Margolis - I now read me him online at his website and follow him on Facebook and Twitter - because: 1. He is a well-informed and to-the-point veteran of international affairs. He doesn't mince words. 2. He doesn't toe any particular party line. Agree or disagree - and I usually agree with him - you know you're dealing with an honest point of view based on years of field experience. As a resident of London, Ontario, I can attest to the deterioration of the London Free Press during Quebecor's ownership. For several generations, the London Free Press was a strong and proud voice for Southwestern Ontario under the Blackburns. When Sun Media bought the Free Press in 1997, it appeared this fine tradition would continue when London-born Big John Paton was publisher. But the bottom dropped out when Quebecor bought Sun Media shortly thereafter. It was a lousy turn of fate. And it's not that the remaining staff at the Free Press are incompetent or lazy. There's simply been far too many cutbacks in staff for them to provide proper coverage while they receive their marching orders from out-of-town bean counters. As a result, circulation continues to plummet and staff morale is at an all-time low. Further, there's far less diversity in opinion columns with fewer local, regional, national and international voices. Even the quality of editorial cartoons is in the toilet. At one time, the Free Press provided editorial opportunities for talented, up-and-coming local writers to get published in a daily newspaper. Not anymore as Peladeau's Quebecor throws nickels around like manhole covers, notwithstanding the fact that advertising revenue at the Freeps remains high. It's a significant loss to readers, aspiring journalists and the country itself. This sad situation is mitigated somewhat by online opportunities, but there is no substitute for a vibrant print edition of a local newspaper. Currently, I can read the print edition of the London Free Press in a few minutes, including the once comprehensive Saturday edition. It's little wonder that former LFP editor-in-chief Paul Berton made the jump to the Hamilton Spectator several months ago. One of the casualties of the crippling snowstorm that closed Hwy. 402 between London and Sarnia is today's print edition of the Sarnia Observer. The Observer no longer has its own presses, so the long distance hauling of Sun Media papers to the area from London was curbed by the storm. An online Sarnia Observer story explains why the print edition has not arrived, which does little for print readers and advertisers wondering where the daily paper is today. The contradictory online Observer story reads: "Due to the closure of Highway 402 there will be no printed edition of Tuesday's Observer. "The digital edition is being made available free of charge for Tuesday's paper but you must register online at www.theobserver.ca and click on the e-edition link. "The Tuesday printed edition will be delivered as soon as the roads become passable." So which is it, "there will be no printed edition of Tuesday's Observer" or "the Tuesday printed edition will be delivered as soon as the roads become passable?" And does the major delay, or non-delivery at any time, mean all subscribers and advertisers will be credited? Winter has not officially arrived and Quebecor's long distance paper hauls are already feeling the brunt of severe weather. Quebecor sold its presses at the Observer, the Niagara Falls Review and Welland Tribune and shipped them to a firm in Peru last December. So unlike the year-long Ottawa Sun experiment, which saw its papers being printed two hours away in Mirabel, Que., before returned to Ottawa in 2008, there is no turning back. Politics, smolitics, let the next Group of 20 Summit be a concert with world leaders on stage. Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin took the stage the other day to sing the Fats Domino hit Blueberry Hill. Japan's Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama made the charts last year when a song - Take Heart - he recorded in 1988 was re-released. We've seen Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper play piano and sing the Beatles tune With a Little Help From My Friends. and former U.S. President Bill Clinton does a mean version of Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel. The power of music. As John Lennon and all of the casualties of Toronto's G20 would have said, imagine. Toronto Sun editors heard the recent "tab it up" call and yesterday's Sunday Sun was Exhibit A, with two exclusives from Sun vets. Rob Lamberti's two-page spread on mobsters and Peter Worthington's latest two-page revelations from Clifford Olson were classic tabloid features. That is one way to boost Sunday sales. We know about spammers, phishing and other devious Internet ploys to con surfers into believing Google links are genuine, but the "Tori" link mentioned in the previous post is a new low even for scum-suckers. Our thanks to TSF reader Jerry for the following comment: "Has nothing to do with the LFP. These scam sites have been around since last century. "The newer scam sites can be 100% automated. In some cases, you just buy your own web hosting space and another company will run the entire process for you. Of course, that company takes a chunk of any money you make. "Such a site will automatically search the web for 'any' remotely-related content and then will link to that content. These sites can even auto-embed Youtube videos, etc. "The point to these links/embeds is to attract search engines and, of course, to mislead web viewers searching for 'real' information. "These sites usually run on blog software (i.e. Wordpress) and their purpose is to make money from advertising and/or by selling some crappy e-book. These sites are often called 'f'logs', and they litter the web. "Flogs will ping as many legit blogs as possible, hoping to attract some traffic from those legit sites. Some will even auto-post messages on forums, also hoping to attract traffic. "There are also many scam sites that use look-alike domain names in hopes of attracting web visitors who have slightly misspelled the real domain name. "On the Web, there are snake oil salesmen on every corner. Web-proof yourself the same way you street-proof your kids. Or, be like a journalist: believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see. Especially on the Web." So what is a legitimate business like the London Free Press to do about a pathetic book promoter who uses the newspaper's name and Tori's name to misdirect web surfers? Where do you draw the line in hawking goods online? We can only hope Sun Media's London Free Press has nothing to do with this deceptive online book promotion that uses the Tori Stafford story as a draw: tori stafford london free press \| The 77 Secrets By The London Free Press VIDEO: Premier Dalton McGuinty was in London Friday where he visited the food bank and discussed a number of issues including the . ... the77secrets.com/77/tori-stafford-london-free-press/ First impression is "The 77 Secrets" in the tagline are facts about the murder case that are now known after a publication was partially lifted. But the link is to a promo for a book called The 77 Secrets, which has nothing to do with Tori's abduction and murder, nor the aftermath. If the London Free Press has anything to do with this shameful book promotion, it is a new low for the paper. If it is an individual using the paper's name - and the murder case - to deceive people into viewing details about the book, the Free Press should immediately put a stop to the deception. Here's another secret for those responsible: Going to the bottom of the barrel for recognition is a sure way to never see daylight. More than 1,000 people attended today's 2 1/2-hour celebration of life for Citytv's Mark Dailey. Dailey died Monday from cancer. He was 57. Citytv has also added its half-hour tribute to the 31-year Citytv newscaster to its online videos. Mark Stewart, an award-winning Toronto Sun cop desk vet with three young children, was 38 when he died from cancer on Nov. 18, 1995. Mark, one of a number of Sun newsroom staffers to die before their time, had been working the police desk full-time since 1982, winning awards and the respect of colleagues, readers and police. Colleagues considered Mark a key player in the glory years of the tabloid, sharing cop desk duties with Rob Lamberti and Lee Lamothe. Well, just after the 15th anniversary of Mark's death, TSF received a family update from his daughter, Emma, and she said it was okay for TSF to share it with readers. Emma, who is studying for a B.A. in Sociology, writes: "My name is Emma. I am the second of Mark's three children who all miss him very much. A lot has changed for us in the 15 years since his death. "We were moved to New Brunswick, where I am now in my third year of study at Saint Thomas University. My brother, Dan, is still working on healing after he was involved in a terrible car accident a little over three years back. He is slowly working away at university with interest in journalism. Teagan is in the midst of her Grade 11 year at a local high school. "My mother, Toni, has found what she loves to do while working at Saint Thomas University - tutoring students with disabilities. "I made it back to Toronto last summer to bury my grandparents, my father's parents, and was pleased to see a new grave marker connecting my dad to his parents. It had not been completed by the time we left, but I hope to get back next summer to view the final product. "I am so thankful that you spent your time to compile this web page for all the families. I could never express how much it means to know that he is not forgotten. "Thank you so much." Thank you for your email, Emma. You, your siblings and mother are doing your father proud. Sun Media posted numerous Help Wanted ads today with a Dec. 31 application deadline as the chain prepares for a March launching of its Sun TV News channel. Most of the positions are Toronto-based: Talk show producer; senior weather anchor; writer/editor; senior news anchor; news anchor; senior graphics artist; graphics artist; studio switcher; studio director; assistant director; audio operator; graphics playback operator; line up editor; multimedia content producer, resource coordinator. Other TV jobs have been posted for Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary and Winnipeg. While the positions are TV oriented, jobs descriptions indicate responsibilities for some jobs include Sun Media's print and online venues. Salaries offered for key positions will be an early indication of how competitive PKP intends to be in staffing his new television venture. Will the paycheques attract the Ted Baxters of broadcast media, or the Walter Cronkites? Pete Fisher, Sun Media's tireless Highway of Heroes photographer and promoter, can take another bow after the Royal Canadian Mint announced a 2011 Highway of Heroes collector coin will be minted. On hearing the news Tuesday, Fisher, who works the Cobourg/Port Hope area at Northumberland Today, wrote this letter of acknowledgment: "I've sat here for about an hour, going over this email, hoping not to forget anyone. Please don't hate me if I have. It's been an emotional day . . . believe me, it's been an emotional day. "Let me first give thanks to the people who helped make this happen. The first and foremost goes to Caroline McIntosh. I've never met her, but have talked to her regularly on the phone. She has always been there and I can't believe the effort she's put forth for this . . . simply put, amazing. "Joe Warmington said in the first column about this, that I'm a take no prisoner's type of person. Well, I can say that Caroline is the same. I cannot thank her enough for what she has done. Her effort has been nothing short of fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "Joe Warmington from the Toronto Sun. Joe kicked this off with his column. He's always been a strong supporter of Canada's military. He's a great friend and has always been there for me. Thank you Joe. "To Hector Mcmillan, Mayor of the Municipality of Trent Hills. Words simply aren't enough. I first talked to Hector about this when I was in Campbellford covering the Legion story. Immediately he gave his support. I can certainly say, without his efforts this would not have happened. "To Linda Thompson, Gil Brocanier, and Sue from the Municipalities of Port Hope, Cobourg and LaSalle. Thank you for standing up and supporting this. Strength was in the numbers and you were there for all the right reasons. "To Karl Walsh of the OPPA, who has been there since the first to get Cobourg Police Constable Chris Garrett what he deserved, thank you. "To the OPFFA/TPFFA, thank you. "I thank both MPP Lou Rinaldi and MP Rick Norlock. I'm not a political person, but both have been extremely supportive. They have my utmost respect. "I thank the Royal Canadian Mint. Freedom of this great country we call Canada gives us the choice of free speech. In that, it was simply a matter of opinion. I thought, along with thousands of others, that our heroes deserved this recognition. And not only them, but the people that come out to the bridges each and every time. "To the radio stations, including Roy Green and Ted Woloshyn, who have given their support for this cause, it's been great. Thank you also to the television stations, like CHEX and Lisa MacDonald - this wouldn't have happened without their support. "And to the paper I work for, Northumberland Publishers, they have been there since the start, willing to give their support for this cause that is so right. I can't thank them, and Cecilia, enough for writing the stories and keeping everyone informed. "Finally, what this is all about, was doing the right thing for the heroes of this country. They shall never, ever be forgotten. And when I think about them, I think about their families. I, and we all owe them so much. "I have said from the start, and I will say to the end, their families are not alone, and will never be alone, I will always be there for them, and I know everyone in this email will also be there for them. I think of their sacrifice each day when I wake up, and I think of them now. "I can't imagine what they go through, but I can at least tell them, they are not alone. "Thank you to all (and I hope I didn't miss anything)" Pete Fisher Well done, Pete. A TSF tipster says another pre-Christmas Quebecor trimming, this time at Canoe. "I heard there was more layoffs at Canoe this holiday season," the tipster writer. "At least 5 people." Are they alone, or have other Sun Media employees quietly left their buildings after being pink-slipped this Christmas season? We have a feeling there have been other casualties. Meanwhile, a voluntary departure from the Welland Tribune reduces the reporting staff to three. A tipster writes: "Welland Tribune reporter is leaving to go into the public sector. Government job with big pay, benefits, and pension. This will leave the Tribune with 3 reporters." Mike Strobel a guest columnist at the online Torontoist? Anything to flog your new book, Bad Girls and Other Perils, eh Mike? Interesting read, though. Took us back to the days when Toronto newspaper wars flared and Ben Johnson lied to us first. Judging by the comments of Torontoist readers, the great journalism divide in 2010 is between traditional print writers/readers and uppity online writers/readers. Torontoist readers actually chastise Mike for using his trademark one-line sentences for his online guest column. Don't fold to Torontoist pressure, Mike. Keep those paras short, sweet and punchy. Tabloid readers love you - and your style. Kudos to Marie-Joelle Parent and John Kryk for a couple of unique John Lennon stories marking yesterday's 30th anniversary of the rock legend's murder in New York. Personally, we can't get enough of the writings of New York-based Marie-Joelle and John, but with John, the question is why doesn't he write more often? Thoroughly enjoyed his November piece about Johnny Carson. Marie-Joelle's Twitter page says she is a "New York multi-media entertainment and news correspondent for Sun Media Canada." Sun Media should keep her busy. She has the tabloid touch. More frequent input from her would be preferably over those embarrassing WENN-dominated back pages any day of the week. BTW: WENN online is even more of a joke. A count this early a.m. - 15 WENN entertainment stories for Tuesday and Wednesday. But when the budget is tight and manpower is minimal . . . The annual Regent Park Christmas Dinner will mark its 30th year on Christmas Day and the late, great Toronto Sun writer Bob MacDonald would be applauding the milestone. The dinner - more than 1,300 people sat down at the tables last year - was a pet project of Bob's for more than 20 years before he died at 76 on Feb. 26, 2006. Organizers of the dinner could always count on Bob to be in the food line on Christmas Day, helping to feed the less fortunate while his own family waited for him to share their day. Bob's faithful readers continue to support the dinner at the Sacre Coeur Church, 381 Sherbourne St., each year. Donations are being gratefully accepted at: Regent Park Christmas Dinner, P.O. Box 30085, 2365 Warden Ave., Unit 4 Scarborough, ON, M1T 0A1 Today marks the fourth anniversary of the Toronto Sun Family blog. TSF was launched Dec. 8, 2006, as a morale booster for Toronto Sun employees, past and present, who were concerned about the flagship tabloid's future. Chatter at a Toronto Sun reunion, attended by 150 current and former employees two weeks earlier, included major concerns about job losses. SOS - Save Our Sun - lapel stickers were everywhere. The Toronto Sun was once named one of the Top 100 companies in Canada to work for, but Quebecor had curbed the appeal. We tried Myspace for the blog launch but ran out of allotted photo space within a day, so we switched to blogspot and it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. TSF traffic was slow in the first few weeks, but input from proud current and former employees, pre-Christmas layoffs and other news kept the ball rolling. Unfortunately, good news has been minimal over the past four years, with Quebecor: Slashing payroll numbers (including 600 on Black Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2008); Selling newspaper buildings, including 333; Closing newspapers and merging others; Eliminating Christmas bonuses, sabbaticals etc. Dropping the Dunlop Awards; Messing with proven content; Turning newsrooms into sweatshops etc. Unleashing this year's Tory Kory fiasco in Ottawa; Four years later, as TSF counts down to the Toronto Sun's 40th anniversary next Nov. 1, the mood at Sun Media is as distant from pre-Quebecor years as can be. What the fifth and final year of TSF blogging brings is anyone's guess. Our dream scenario is PKP unloads his newspapers in favour of someone who gives a damn about print. With employees slashed and buildings sold, more newspaper closures could be on the horizon. As it is, PKP has too many toys in his closet to focus on newsrooms. The billionaire's newest toy, Sun TV News channel, launches in March, no doubt putting more pressure on overworked and understaffed newsrooms across the chain. So stay tuned, TSF readers. Many thanks to TSF's faithful gathering of reliable tipsters who have kept TSF postings flowing in the first four years. Most tipsters employed by Sun Media remain anonymous, fearing for their jobs. In Quebecor's world, they say putting a name to a Sun Media tip can cost you your job. Sun vets from the glory years say the loss of freedom of speech for newspaper employees is the saddest post-Quebecor cut of all. A St. Catharines Standard reader e-mailed this typo gem found online after a Port Colborne teenager was struck by a train: The story reads: "He was taken to Welland hospital before being airlifted to Hamilton with injuries to his food and leg." Must have been the ham on rye he was carrying. Editors caught the typo in updating the story. Mark Dailey lost his lengthy battle with cancer today and Toronto media have lost an iconic voice and a gentleman friend. As the Citytv obit says: A Legend Lost. Mark was only 57, but two generations of television viewers and radio listeners are familiar with the dedication of the Ohio-born newsman. The Voice of Citytv" since 1979, Mark survived prostate cancer in 2004, but in September he told viewers he had kidney cancer and that cancer later spread to his lungs. You would be hard-pressed to find media people who crossed paths with Mark over the years and came away with a negative feeling about him. Competitive as he was, going back to his first days at CHUM in 1974, Mark got the story being chased by Sun, Globe and Star staffers without trouncing on toes. In later years, he anchored CityPulse and CityNews. As the "voice" of Citytv, he also promoted Citytv movies, sometimes selling them as gems - but often as turkeys, which was always appreciated. When it came to loyalty, Mark was Citytv through and through. He - and his fedora - celebrated 30 years with Citytv in 2009. Our condolences to his wife, Kim, and daughter, Nicole. Dozens of tributes have been posted on Citytv, including this one, which sums it up for us: "He is the voice and face of Toronto news as far as I am concerned. A dedicated and wonderful career."	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line437

__label__cc	0.620471	0.379529	Home » SBA Office of Advocacy visits VHI Transport Posted on November 1, 2017 November 7, 2017 by Jeff Begin The following press release and images detail a recent visit to VHI Transport by the Office of the Advocacy within the U.S. Small Business Administration. SBA Office of Advocacy staff recently visited VHI Transport. From left are Advocacy staff Patrick Delehanty, Jason Doré, Dillon Taylor, Mitch Tyner, Bruce Gee of VHI Transport, Kristy Seaton of VHI Transport, Janis Reyes, and Bruce Lundegren. VHI Transport is a small transportation intermediary in Chester, Va. Representatives from this company were also concerned about FMCSA’s rules about SMS scores and electronic logging devices. Advocacy Visits Small Transportation Company Following Virginia Roundtable By Bruce Lundegren, Assistant Chief Counsel The Office of Advocacy hosted a Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtable in Glen Allen, Virginia – just outside of Richmond – on Oct. 16th that attracted dozens of small businesses and their representatives who were eager to discuss federal regulations that burden small business. The meeting also featured participation by U.S. Congressman Dave Brat (R-VA 7th), who represents the district in U.S. House of Representatives. Following the roundtable, Advocacy staff visited VHI Transport, a small transportation business located in Chester, VA. VHI operates two distinct lines of business, a trucking transport operation and a transportation brokerage service. Advocacy was hosted by Bruce Gee, the President and Chief Operating Officer of VHI Express (the trucking operation), and Kristy Seaton, the Chief Operating Officer of VHI Transport (the brokerage service). Ms. Seaton explained how transportation – or freight – brokers operate. They are the intermediaries between a shipper who has goods to transport and a carrier who is able to move that particular freight to the desired location. While this is mostly done by truck, VHI also arranges for transit on rail, air, and barge. While they are not a regulated transportation company, the companies they contract with are. VHI arranges for the movement everything from agricultural products and pharmaceuticals to aggregates and electronic equipment. While they mainly service the mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, their services cover the entire country as well as Canada and Mexico. Ms. Seaton also demonstrated VHI’s computer system which identifies qualified transporters who are authorized and qualified to handle the particular cargo to be picked up and delivered. There are literally thousands of companies they work with. She also explained how they use Safer Watch, a service that tracks companies’ qualifications and links the broker to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) safety evaluation database. Mr. Gee oversees the trucking side of the VHI operation, which has its terminal in downtown Richmond. These are the actual trucks that carry and deliver freight. Mr. Gee, who attended Advocacy’s Glen Allen roundtable, noted several regulatory issues that impact his business. The two main ones are the FMCSA’s impending mandate to install and use ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices) and the FMCSA’s use of SMS (Safety Measurement System) data to evaluate carriers and drivers. Mr. Gee would like a delay in the ELD mandate and a complete rethinking of the SMS methodology. VHI is a woman-owned company that was established in Virginia 1977.

__label__wiki	0.730024	0.730024	Tag: 淮安spa会所哪个好 Rev. Walter Richards’ Funeral Saturday June 27 The death is announced of the Rev. Dr. Walter D. Richards, former Deputy Minister of Education, former principal of Ricks Institute in Virginia, former president of the Liberia Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention and former Chairman of the Board of the Baptist Theological Seminary. This sad event occurred on Friday, May 29, 2015 in his sleep at his home in the Jallah Prall compound on Broad Street, Snapper Hill, Monrovia. He was in his 84th year. Rev. Richards was also instrumental in the coming to Liberia of the Liberia Opportunities Industrial Corporation, which trained thousands of Liberians in many technical and vocational trades. He was also a founding member of the Liberian Council of Churches (LCC) and a member of the Inter-faith Council, later named the Inter Religious Council, which in 1990 intervened along with Roman Catholic Archbishop Michael K. Francis, Sheikh Kafumba Konneh, Canon Burgess Carr and others to help stop the Liberia civil war. Rev. Richards was also former pastor of Brewerville’s Salem Baptist Church and Clay Ashland’s First Baptist Church. He served both churches for extensive periods. A powerful Baptist preacher, his sermons often incurred the wrath of the Samuel Doe government. Indeed, when soldiers loyal to Doe entered the Richards family’s native Clay Ashland one afternoon in June, 1990, they went looking for Rev. Walter Richards, but mistook his brother, the eminent Liberian sculptor R. Vanjah Richards for Pastor Richards. The soldiers arrested R. Vanjah, beheaded him and threw his body into the Po River on the Bomi Hills highway.Family sources say Rev. Walter Richards was on his knees in a state of prayer when at between 12 and 1 o’clock p.m. on Friday, May 29, 2015, the household staff went to his room. By that time he had already answered his eternal summons.His wife Mrs. Ora Gibson Richards and their children are in the United States of America.

David Richards, long time pastor of First Baptist Church, Clay Ashland and former Senator of Montserrado County.Walter’s two brothers, R. Vanjah and the eminent Liberian architect Winston D. Richards, like Walter himself, were all born the same year, 1931.A graduate of the University of Liberia, Walter began his career in eduction as principal of the Student Union at the foot of Benson Street on Crown Hill, Monrovia. The school was run by the Liberia National Students Union (LINSU).He later became the private secretary to the Vice President of Liberia, Dr. William R. Tolbert. It was Dr. Tolbert who sent Walter to the United States for further studies. He obtained a Master’s degree in Divinity and Religious Education.He was twice married, first to a Brooks lady from Harper, Maryland County, to which union a son was born. Walter later wedded Ms. Ora Gibson Richard and to this union several children were born.His brothers R. Vahnjah Richards and Winston D. Richards predeceased him.He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, Ora G. Richards, his children Audrey Catherine Richards, Julius Wilfred Richards Sr., Walter David Richards, William Fred Cooper, Ingrid Martha Richards, David Sherman, Walter D.

Symposium on Visual Ethnography: Recent Directions in the Humanities & Social Sciences This symposium, organized by the Committee for Ethnographic Research, examines the current state of inter-disciplinary research on the visual analysis of social institutions, the visual construction of social identities, and the visual representation of cultural difference. Historically, humanistic lines of enquiry (such as film studies) have focused on cinema and art photography, while social scientific lines of research (such as visual anthropology) have treated visual technology as a documentary tool or as a medium of ethnographic teaching. Now, through the mediation of new fields such as Cultural Studies, these separate lines of research on the visualization of society, culture, and human experience are engaged in an interesting conversation and debate. Some of the most intriguing work now acutely problematizes the multiple levels of significance in visual images, including ethnographic film, documentary photography, popular TV and video, museum exhibits, and other forms of visual production. Many of the debates over culture and power are now joined in the visual realm as much as in the domain of the printed word. In cultural studies, comparative literature, history, communication, film studies, sociology, mass media, anthropology, the fine arts, and other disciplines, there is acute awareness of the power of the visual media to inform and shape our cultural vocabularies. Our speakers will relay the current theoretical debates as well as give us a glimpse of some exciting new visual research.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0068.json.gz/line449
__label__cc	0.727925	0.272075	About VoyageLA VoyageLA FAQs LA’s Most Inspiring Stories Hidden Gems: Local Businesses & Creatives You Should Know Portraits of the Valley Portraits of Hollywood A Tale of Two Friends Journey of a Lifetime The Quest to Empower Women How LA Foodies Get in Shape Meet Stephanie Bien of Insight to Teen Culture in Agoura Hills Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Bien. Thanks for sharing your story with us Stephanie. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there. My journey started 35 years ago when I decided to become a psychotherapist with children and families, rather than a special ed. teacher. It happened when I was chasing a 2-year-old, autistic boy down the hall. At this exact moment, I realized that the kids were doing fine, it was the parents who were struggling. Now, so many years later, after 7 years in school, 2 years of being an intern and then another year of study for the licensing process, I am here doing exactly what I want to be doing. I am a therapist that specializes in children of all ages, I teach a parenting class called P.E.T. “Parent Effectiveness Training”, I recently co-authored a book called “Bully Prevention Tips for Teens: 18 Powerful Ways to Protect Yourself through High School” and then my latest venture… a Think Tank of professionals who work with teens in a diverse capacity to brainstorm ideas to help with our culture…recently named “Insight to Teen Culture”. We have come together to think of ways to help communities deal with the struggles of teen life for both teens and their parents. This Think Tank was an idea that I had but was kicked into high gear after “13 Reasons Why” came out and I watched this with my own 16-year-old daughter, Jessica. The challenges our kids face are unbelievable. Later that same month, I attended a showing of the documentary “Audrey and Daisy” about two teen girls who were raped, cyberbullied, and their struggles including suicide or attempts of suicide. This was another moment of deep sadness for me, but the worst part was 3 days later when my own daughter called me on Saturday night from a friends house because another friend of hers was raped by the friends’ friend…she had been in the next room and didn’t know it happened. The guilt, sadness, depression, stress and drama that followed in the weeks to come, were devastating for all the kids who were there. As a mom you never want to see your child hurt and devastated like this…but it happens and it happens too much. “We have to do something about it!” I said as I got together a few therapists, a sheriff, pediatrician, foster care worker, social worker…and the group is growing after only 6 months. As a group, we have decided to build communities where people can talk, learn and help one another. Our first event was in September where we held “Solutions for Teens and Screens” where we had over 250 parents and kids come and see the movie “Screenagers” and discuss in small groups with professional facilitators about their challenges, committing to one change that they will make this month. We have many innovative ideas that will be put into action in the upcoming year and I look forward to helping families work together to create solutions for their lives. Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome? There have been bumps in the road but what I have learned is to trust and learn from these challenges. The path always seems to flow in the direction that it’s supposed to. I have great faith! Insight to Teen Culture – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition? My business is as a psychotherapist. I specialize in working with children of all ages, I teach a parenting class called P.E.T. and I work with the entire family. In addition to this work, I’ve recently started another section of my practice called “Insight to Teen Culture” where I run a monthly meeting of professionals that brainstorm ideas of how we can help teens, families and our culture. We work on forming opportunities to build communities and educate kids and their parents. I am extremely proud of this part of my work. I have been passionate about this generation of kids and how I can help them and their families. There are so many struggles with school pressures, bullying, technology, drug and alcohol addiction, rape, pornography, suicide, anxiety at a younger and younger age, and so much more. I am excited to work with others that have the same drive and compassion to make a difference for future generations. I see other organizations doing the same type of work and my goal is for us all to work together to bring programs to more people and get the word out on a larger scale. I am so grateful to have made another dream come true…I co-authored a book called “Bully Prevention Tips for Teens: 18 Powerful Ways to Protect Yourself through High School”, we wrote a companion curriculum and I taught a Leadership Training Program for teens with the book so that they can start a club in their school mentoring students and preventing bullying. I’m training a Pepperdine student who is my intern to oversee the high school program and be a support to the leaders. What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on? I am extremely fulfilled every day that I am able to help a family with their communication, cooperation and relationships bringing peace into their homes. One example of this was when a child age 10 had many acting out behaviors. I saw her and taught her some communication skills, expression of feelings and problem-solving skills, then I taught the mom in a class setting and several months later, the dad came in and the 10-year-old taught her dad the method for problem-solving. She felt empowered and confident and became a part of the solution in the family…she got positive attention rather than the negative attention that she was used to.
