special feature: | Aboriginal Peoples: Building Reconciliation
Landmark achievement
Hundreds of Innu place names in Labrador awarded legal status
special feature: Aboriginal Peoples: Building Reconciliation
Part of a special feature celebrating and recognizing the contribution and impact of Aboriginal Peoples in N.L. and highlighting contemporary topics and opportunities related to Indigenous Peoples worldwide. This theme coincides with Aboriginal Peoples Week 2017: Building Reconciliation taking place at Memorial from March 20-24.
By Janet Harron
Place names have been used by cultures the world over to identify lakes, mountains, hunting grounds, rivers and other locations of interest.
Now, place names of the Labrador Innu have been collected on the Pepamuteiati Nitassinat (“As We Walk Across Our Land”) website.
Pepamuteiati Nitassinat is the culmination of a 40-year-project involving geographers, linguists, anthropologists and, first and foremost, the Labrador Innu themselves.
Dual-naming system
Recently approved by the Newfoundland and Labrador Geographical Names Board (NLGNB), the 452 Innu traditional names of features and places of social and economic activities in Southern and Central Labrador will help to preserve an important component of Innu culture in the region.
Officially applying a dual-naming system — using Innu-aimun and English — to the province’s geographical features means that Newfoundland and Labrador is among the first in Canada to do so, following the Northwest Territories’ lead in this respect.
For example, it is anticipated that the Innu name, Tshenuamiu-shipu, for a river also known as the Kenamu River, and the name, Manatueu-shipiss, for the Traverspine River (both major tributaries that flow into Labrador’s Lake Melville) will soon be posted on Labrador Highway road signs.
The website itself is dedicated to the late Pinip Rich of the former community of Utshimassit (Davis Inlet), and the late Shinipesht Andrew of Sheshatshiu “for their love of Innu place names and their willingness to share their knowledge.”
Pinip Rich could easily recite over 300 Innu places names by heart, and was an excellent map reader.

Shinipesht Andrew loved Innu history, and place names were the meshkanau (path) down which he would often take people in talking about Innu history.
Originally begun as a way of documenting Innu land use and occupancy for the purpose of land claims negotiations with the federal and provincial governments, the focus of the project morphed to a means of officializing, or giving legal status to, the names for educational and cultural purposes.
A substantial amount of information on place names was collected by the Innu Nation starting in the late 1970s.
Older hunters and elders were invited to walk on oversized maps in the school gym in Sheshatshiu and the parish hall in Utshimassit (Davis Inlet) in order to point out the locations of place names, as well as old travel routes, camp sites, caches, birth places and good hunting and fishing spots. In the end, nearly 1,600 names were recorded.
An example of a map used in validating the place names collected from Innu elders. The Innu name of Portage Lake, pictured in the lower right-hand side, is Utshimau-nipi, translated as Great Lake. It is located on the ancient travel route from North West River/Sheshatshiu to Meshikamau (Michikamau Lake) in the interior of Labrador.
Decades of effort
Later, a database was established; later still, work began on clarifying locations and standardizing the spellings of the Innu-aimun words.
In 2004 anthropologist Peter Armitage, ethnolinguist José Mailhot and Memorial linguist and professor emerita Dr. Marguerite MacKenzie began to complete the database: the LABTOP project consisted of validating place names from all the previous research projects.
The place names from the older databases were compared and located on computer maps, spellings and meanings were clarified and standardized whenever possible, and problematic names starred for fieldwork validation.
Problematic names and locations were validated by Mr. Armitage and by Innu co-researchers Pashin Penashue, Atuan Penashue, Napess Ashini and Ishpashtien Piwas.
The researchers also worked with Innu elders and place name experts Etuat Mistenapeo, Ishpashtien Benuen, Ishpashtien Penunsi, Mani-Aten Penashue, Mishen Jack, Napaien Mollen, Nishet Penashue, Nui Penashue, Pien Penashue, Pinashue Penashue, Puniss Nuke, Shapatish Malec, Shuashem Nui, Tshani Rich and Zacharie Bellefleur.
One of Pinip Rich’s many detailed list of Innu place names and features in Labrador.
Eventually a detailed website including maps was readied for publication and the process of officialization began. Officialization means names can begin to be used on maps and will have legal status in land management, property transactions and road signage.
The responsibility for naming in Canada lies with the provinces, territories and federal agencies such as Parks Canada, Canada Post and the Department of National Defence.
Collectively these entities form the Geographical Names Board of Canada (GNBC), a body which tries to maintain national standards and ensure that names on maps and in official publications are applied consistently. Once names are official they are then managed by the GNBC and published in the organization’s official document, the Gazette.
“The names as processed and submitted were of extraordinary quality and approval was little more than a formality because of the careful work and dedication of the researchers and of the Innu Nation.” — Randy Hawkins, NLGNB
With regards to Newfoundland and Labrador adopting a dual-naming policy, Mr. Armitage says it was fortuitous that the project members did not have to wait for the final agreement during the land claims negotiations.
“The lovely thing about this arrangement with the Innu is that we didn’t have to wait for the final agreement to be signed for the names to be officialized,” he said.
“History, culture and respect took precedence, which was very progressive of the Newfoundland and Labrador Geographical Names Board and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. A hearty thanks to Randy Hawkins, the secretary of the board, for his collaboration over the years — the work of the NLGNB is one of the functions of our government that is totally invisible to the citizenry and often taken for granted.”
For his part, Mr. Hawkins says the Newfoundland and Labrador Geographical Names Board regards the approval of more than 452 Innu names as a “landmark achievement.”
“The names as processed and submitted were of extraordinary quality and approval was little more than a formality because of the careful work and dedication of the researchers and of the Innu Nation,” he said.
Mr. Armitage and Dr. MacKenzie hope that non-Innu people will make use of these names when travelling throughout Labrador, rather than feeling the need to re-name geographic features that are already named.

“This has been a small but important contribution to the Innu and our knowledge of the cultural history of our province,” they said, jointly.
“We hope that this project will help many future generations of Innu people maintain their connections to their language and the land. Place names anchor people’s imaginations to the landscape, and the stories that are told using these place names are an important part of Innu history.”

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days, from the day on which the contract was concluded.
a.ii. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the client must inform Fox Automotive Switzerland AG, St. Gallerstrasse 49, CH-9100 Herisau, Switzerland, Email: , about the withdrawal from this contract, by a formal declaration, made as a letter sent by post, fax or email.

FOX may withhold the re- imbursement, until the vehicle has been reacquired, or the client has
supplied evidence of having sent back the vehicle to FOX. The client shall hand the vehicle over to FOX, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which the client communicated his withdrawal from the contract. The deadline is met, if the client sent back the vehicle, before the period of 14 days has expired. The client will have to bear the direct cost of returning the vehicle to FOX. FOX will, separately, inform the client of this right of withdrawal, when entering into the sales contract.
8. Rescission after the withdrawal period

Insofar, as FOX is the manufacturer or is deemed to be the manufacturer, of the electric vehicle, FOX shall also be liable, according to the provisions of the Hungarian Product Liability Act (………………..) and/or, as applicable, other national transpositions of the Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985, on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the EU Member States, concerning liability for defective products. FOX liability, according to clauses 9.a, 9.c and 9.d shall remain unaffected.
c. Should FOX have furnished a separate guarantee or any other form of strict liability, FOX shall be liable, according to the terms of such guarantee or promise or, where and insofar the guarantee or promise is silent, according to statutory provisions. Other liabilities, according to clauses 9.a, 9.b and 9.d, shall remain unaffected.
d. FOX shall further be liable for damages, resulting from a negligent breach of a contractual obligation, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite, for the proper performance of the contract, and on the fulfilment of which the client will, typically, rely, and can reason- ably rely, so-called essential obligations, by FOX, its legal representatives or persons employed to perform any of its contractual obligations, i. e. vicarious agents. However, the total liability shall be limited to the amount of damages that is typical, for this type of contract, and foreseeable upon conclusion of the contract, if there is no more extensive liability under clauses 9.a to 9.c above.
e. In all other cases, FOX liability for damages, under any theory of law, shall be excluded.
f. The limitation of liability, under this clause 9, shall also be applicable, mutatis mutandis, for the benefit of FOX legal representatives, organs, and members of staff.
a. Offset and right of retention
a.i. The client is entitled to offset any claims against claims from FOX, in case that the claims (i) originate from the same contractual relationship, (ii) have not been challenged by FOX, have been recognized by a competent court, without further legal recourse, or have been established and are ready for decision, by a competent court.
a.ii. The client is entitled to exercise a right of retention vis-à-vis claims from FOX, only if such right of retention is based on claims from the same contractual relationship.
b. No Assignment: Neither this contract nor the subsequent sales contract, and the rights pertaining therein, may be assigned, resold, or otherwise transferred, in whole or in part, by the client, without prior written consent of FOX.
c. Translations: FOX may, at its sole discretion, translate these “GTC-MIA” into other languages. In this case, the terms and conditions are binding in the language in which the client has completed the order process, including the process in which the client has sent FOX the order, by activating the button, “Place a Binding “MIA” Preorder Now”, “Reserve Now”, “Pay Now” or “Continue to Pay”.
11. Choice of Law; Venue and Alternative Dispute Resolution
a. The contractual relationship between the client and FOX is subject to the substantive laws of Switzerland. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG; Vienna Convention) is excluded. Notwithstanding, if the client is a final consumer, she shall not be deprived of the protection, afforded to the client by provisions that cannot be derogated from, by agreement, by the law of the country in which the client normally resides.
b. Unless the client is a consumer, the courts having jurisdiction in Switzerland, shall enjoy the exclusive jurisdiction, regarding any dispute arising out of, or in connection with this contract, these “GTC-MIA”, or the sales contract. FOX may, however, remain entitled to bring an action against the client, before a court of the client’s habitual residence.

CATEGORY: Show Me the Physics! Video Contest (2014) [back]
TOPIC: One Physics To Rule Them All (This Is Physics, part 1) by Marc Séguin [refresh]
Member Marc Séguin wrote on Aug. 7, 2014 @ 15:27 GMT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdpP7AQ63ik
From Aristotle's theory of the spherical Earth to the discovery of the Higgs boson, this is an illustrated journey through the highlights of the history of physics. Part 1 tells the tale of how we discovered that there is one universal physics that applies to the entire observable universe. Part 2 explains how the fundamental forces of physics and the rules of quantum mechanics allow objects to keep their shapes. Part 3 describes the major breakthroughs of the past century, and speculates about what remains to be discovered.

Very well made video! I enjoyed your brief history of physics - it was done in such a way that made it interesting without feeling like it was dragging on. One of my critiques would be that the animation seemed to get a little repetitive as the video progressed. I understand that it's difficult to mix things up considering the content that you were covering, but I think a little more variety would have made it that much better. I really appreciate your first musical selection, I thought it was very fitting and fun. Overall solid video!
Alexander Roth wrote on Aug. 24, 2014 @ 00:16 GMT
Dear Mr. Marc Séguin,
This is an excellent video which will provide, for science minded parents and grandparents, a wonderful presentation very clearly illustrating the physics/astronomy basics our young people should be familiar with. The animations/graphics deserve special credits.
Unfortunately, science is not well handled in our schools and I hope that this video gets to be widely seen on YouTube.
Good luck for the competition.

I liked your video a lot; the animation was very good as well as the story line. I look forward to watching your other videos to see how you will expand on the topic.
Good luck in the competition!
Adam Washington wrote on Sep. 2, 2014 @ 06:35 GMT
You have a lot of good information in your video. It lays out a great framework in explaining some of the history behind physics. My only suggestion would be to try to find a more creative way to present the information, so that it stirs today's generation to see how physics applies to their world. In other words, so that they can see how these early findings in physics still have current applications in determining and explaining things beyond science.
Again, very solid coverage of the information and great graphics.

I did watch this video quite a while ago and was very much impressed. I had forgotten to come back and rate it. It displays the highest technical prowess, and the explanations are perfectly clear. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the video is self-contained, requiring no prior knowledge and being accessible to young people, something we tried for in our video. The discussion of the word "force" was very nice. The only thing I would have liked to see that was not present was an explicit motivation for learning more about physics, but maybe that's in the subsequent videos.
Douglas Alexander Singleton wrote on Sep. 8, 2014 @ 00:14 GMT
We very much liked the 1st one on the series (still need to watch the other two but we thought we might as well make comments of each as we view them). The first in the series tells the important story (in a very good and well produced video) of how humans began to understand how the Universe works and how through the "reading what was written in the sky" people came across the beginnings of science. The story about how people figured out the Earth was a sphere (from the shadow it cast on the moon during a lunar eclipse) is great. There is also a related story that a Greek Eratosthenes of Cyrene (chief librarian of the Library at Alexandria) was able to figure out the radius of this sphere by measuring shadows in different parts of Egypt at a specific time of year. It is amazing how much people learned (and then forgot).
Anyway a very strong submission. We'll also take a look at your other videos.
Best of luck with the contest.

There is a book called "Farewell to Reality" by Jim Baggott. It is about all of the nonsense and the fantastically ridiculous claims that the modern physicists are currently making a fortune off of. Mr. Baggott states, among other things, that the physics' community is playing games, not making sense in their advocacy of new ideas in physics, and that they are increasingly out of touch with reality and truth. The modern, academic, mainstream physics' community is very BIG BUSINESS/BIG MONEY. All the way from "math is everything in physics", to string theory, to the nonexistent "experience" of Mars that will (and can) never be realised/had (as I have clearly proven), to overly expensive tuition, to courses you don't really need (but you are still required to take), etc., etc., it is quite clear what is going on. In fact, I have proven what is really going on by fundamentally and extensively unifying physics in a fashion that proves that they are incapable of truly great top down thinking. How can you be at Z, when you are already not even at A through V? You can't. I proved that you can't be. I proven that their "approach" is a never-ending game of tricks, ploys, nonsense, illusions, and evasions that are basically designed to make as much money as possible. STOP THE LIES AND THE RIP-OFFS IN PHYSICS. More proof of this comes as the clear and pathetic fact that the academic, mainstream, theoretical physicists along with the so-called "experts on dreams" (which they are not) are ignoring and evading all of my ideas (and my fundamental, proven, consistent, clear, important, and extensive unification of gravity, inertia, and electromagnetism). This all PROVES that these people do not want to fundamentally advance the understanding of physics/physical reality/physical experience, as more "problems" in physics mean more money. Ask them about my ideas. It is pathetic the extent to which people in the Unites States are increasingly being lied to, ripped off, and being put down/held back. Money, fantasy, lies, escapism, and excess profits rule the day, with wisdom, truth, fairness, reality, justice, open-mindedness, thinking ability, integrity, honesty, privacy, freedom, reason, NATURAL EXPERIENCE, and labor/employees increasingly finishing last. I DEMAND ACADEMIC HONESTY AND TRUTH IN PHYSICS, AND I WILL HAVE IT.

Who The Heck Is Donna Troy?
Look! It’s a messy origin story!
Many longtime DC Comics fans probably know Donna Troy as the original Wonder Girl, teenage sidekick to Wonder Woman, longtime member of the Teen Titans. They also probably know Donna’s backstory is a convoluted mess.
There’s a really good reason for that. Donna was added to the Titans by mistake and creators have been trying to fix that screw-up ever since.
The original Teen Titans story was a simple team-up between three of the Justice League’s sidekicks, Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash. The team-up was successful, so, after a few follow-ups, a regular series occurred, and the Titans would go off on adventures together. Feeling the need to add another, female character, the creators added Wonder Girl, and sometimes Green Arrow’s sidekick Speedy would show up to help out.
Those early Titans stories are something else. The Titans reportedly go to help teenagers in danger, often in the DC way of conforming to any and all authority figures. The foursome would show up at wherever they were invited walking arm-in-arm with these creepy Children of the Corn grins, and they spoke in what the middle-aged writers of these series thought was current teenage slang (for example, Wonder Girl was often addressed as “Wonder Chick” and she didn’t have any problem with that).
Makes perfect sense…
But, see, there was a problem with adding Wonder Girl. Wonder Girl was not actually Wonder Woman’s teenage sidekick. She was Wonder Woman’s teenage self. Any adventures the two shared were due to weird magical or time travel shenanigans that allowed the adult Wonder Woman to team up with her younger self, occasionally also including a pre-teen version known as “Wonder Tot”. Her mother Hippolyta also often joined in. The idea was to create a family, not a sidekick-mentor relationship. Sticking Wonder Girl on the Teen Titans would have been the same as putting Superboy there, and no one made the mistake of thinking Superboy was Superman’s sidekick.
So, what to do with this Wonder Girl? That has become the obsession of various Teen Titan and Wonder Woman writers ever since. The character was given a name, Donna Troy. At various points, she’s even gone by her real name, or some weird superhero version of it (“Troia”). But her origins…
At different points in time, Donna Troy has been:
An orphaned girl rescued from a fire by Wonder Woman who took her to be raised on the island home of the Amazons and eventually granted powers similar to Wonder Woman by the Titans of Myth.
A magical duplicate of Diana created to give the young Wonder Woman a playmate while she was growing up.
The only individual in the multiverse who had the memories and knowledge of all versions of herself after the original Crisis compressed all Earths into one world.
The mother of a future demigod/despot named Lord Chaos.
During a powerless period she was a member of the intergalactic peacekeeping force, the Darkstars.
A cursed soul forced into endless reincarnations that were guaranteed to force her to suffer great tragedies, with her life being erased and rebooted every time she was at her lowest.
Killed by a rogue Superman Robot, but not for long.
That last one is a bit interesting, actually. During the Blackest Night storyline, various heroes who’d been resurrected were infected by Black Lantern rings and turned into mindless servants to Nekron. Donna was among them, but not because she’d come back from the dead, but because her young son returned as a Black Lantern and bitten her.
Yes, Donna was even a wife and mother at one point, but the rest of her family were killed in a car accident. She and her husband Terry had already been estranged, but Terry was always a little creepy in his Teen Titans appearances, possibly because artist George Perez modeled him after writer Marv Wolfman, and seeing the clearly older guy just hanging around the Titans and flirting with Wonder Girl is kind of weird and creepy and sounds more like some awful fanfic than the best-selling book DC had at that time.
“So, you don’t want to read my Watson and Batgirl story?”
The New 52 did introduce a new Donna Troy at one point, one that would ideally have a clean slate and would make more sense than every other attempt to clean up a Silver Age error. But really, whatever her new story is, just toss it on the pile until someone else comes up with a bright idea to “fix” Donna Troy. Can’t be any worse than her dead husband…
Five seconds into meeting her teammate for the first time, he’s hitting on her. Seriously, this guy is creepy!

4 thoughts on “Who The Heck Is Donna Troy?”
jimmyimpossible says:
“In the New 52, Donna Troy has been created from clay, much like Wonder Woman’s original origin conceived by William Moulton Marston, and is essentially Wonder Woman without a heart, according to David Finch. Donna Troy is also being re-introduced into the mythos as a “potential” villain for Wonder Woman, so don’t expect a new team-up title from DC Comics like “Wonder Woman & Donna Troy” anytime soon.”
Just another reason I’m pretty much retiring from DC…if I ever get through the end of those Convergence tie-ins…
I love reading these, I always learn so much!

For The First Time Ever I Agree With Keith Olbermann

True enough: Jeter is not the greatest Yankee. But he is a great ballplayer, worthy of mention among the greats of eras past, and Jeter's certainly been a far better ballplayer than whatever the hell Olbermann is.

Agreed, he is a great player, but not worthy of all this fawning.
In his last game in the Bronx, he opens with an RBI double, and closes with a walk-off single. Just to compare, Ted Williams had one more at-bat scheduled after his homerun, but his manager sat him down.
Two words for Olbermann and all the other pathological Yankee haters out there. Why don't you just guess what they are.
MetalDog
More than any other franchise, the Yankees have generational greats, Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Mattingly and now Jeter. It's an end of an era. And to do it with such class, at a high level and for so long, makes Jeter truly among Yankee, and MLB as a whole, greats. I'll be able to tell anyone that follows that I experienced it.

I don't feel old. I feel infused with time experienced longevity.
I agree Jeeter was great......greatest, no. There is also no denying he was a class act.
I will never be a Yankee fan, but disliking them does not equate to not being able to objectively judge them.

Keith is a horse's ass.
Full disclosure: I've been a Yankee fan since I first went to the Stadium when I was ten. I went to one of Mickey Mantle's last games in 1968. He hit a home run and the place erupted.
Is the "Farewell Tour " overdone ? You bet. Is Jeter the greatest Yankee ever ? No, Ruth and Gehrig top every list. Keith is just trying to generate some buzz for his stagnant , pathetic life.
Keith face it. You are not going to the Broadcaster Hall of Fame.

Damn you're an old bastard. My first game at The Stadium was April 1978: helmet day, and I was sitting in the RF bleachers. In the bottom of the 1st, Reggie struck out a runner on base and two out, so when he assumed his position to start the Top 2nd, he was pelted with those helmets. Yanks went on to win, though, thanks to Roy White's and Thurman Munson's bats.
By the way, as much as I admire Jeter, he can only be the Yankees' second-best captain. Munson will always be No 1.
Is the "Farewell Tour " overdone ? You bet.
Yeah, it is -- but I don't begrudge him it. For all the accolades, Jeter still keeps it pretty tight to the vest. Even last night, after Joe Girardi's urging, Jeter still declined running a full victory lap. For Jeter it was never about Jeter, so I don't mind one bit that he's getting an over-share of the limelight.
Is Jeter the greatest Yankee ever ? No, Ruth and Gehrig top every list.
I'd rate Joe D higher, but that's just my opinion.
Keith is just trying to generate some buzz for his stagnant , pathetic life.
Fifty years from now people will be telling their grandchildren how they saw Jeter do this, and Jeter do that. Ten minutes from now Olbermann won't even be an afterthought.
He's heading straight to obscurity, without passing go, without collecting $200.
The only fitting end to this post are with the words spoken by the scout who'd seen the young Derek Jeter, that he spoke preceding Draft Day 1992:
The day the Yankees' front office gathered to talk about using the sixth overall pick in the 1992 draft, there was a lively debate when Jeter's name came up as a possibility. "Jeter? Isn't he going to the University of Michigan?" Yanks scouting director Bill Livesey asked. [Dick] Groch, who had scouted Jeter extensively and advocated drafting him, shot back: "The only place he's going is to Cooperstown."
I'm no Yankees fan but I do admire Jeter's amazing career of coming through in the clutch. To me, he is Mr Clutch.
He is also an amazing defensive shortstop. Players that only have great defense, rarely get credit.
Last night's game was just amazing. I got a bit teary eyed watching it unfold. Jeter is not THE greatest player, but he is one of the greatest. Just my personal opinion.

A US made weapon on a Chinese UAV?
So which cruise missile does have tracking, including ability to target moving vehicles? I saw a whole thing about the capabilities of latest gen cruise missiles a few years ago and this was touted as an actual working capability. It was said to be able to arrive on target, and if the vehicle had moved from that position it would attempt to reacquire. It was definitely a NATO nations system, but not necessarily American. I really thought they were talking about the Tomahawk, but I can't be sure I'm remembering that correctly.
In what sense shouldn't it work for vehicles? Radar equipped vehicles should be able to use IFF and I seem to remember that some ground vehicles were fitted with IFF transponders following a number of blue on blue incidents by US aircraft against US and allied ground forces? The feature, assuming it was implemented shouldn't be limited to a type of vehicle (air) but to anything which has an IFF transponder per it's config.
It should prevent and break locks, but it won't stop a missile which was already locked from continuing to where it last saw the target. If you don't move after deploying the smoke you can't expect the missile to suddenly decide to fly off in a random direction, it's going to keep coming.
This site makes for some good reading of how the Patriot system works: http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-104.html http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app4/pac-3.html
It's not, as can be seen here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arleigh_Burke-class_destroyer#/media/File:US_Navy_070111-N-4515N-509_Guided_missile_destroyer_USS_Forest_Sherman_(DDG_98)_test_fires_its_five-inch_gun_on_the_bow_of_the_ship_during_training.jpg It's for dropping cargo as explained here: https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-white-square-marking-on-the-deck-of-this-Arleigh-Burke-class-Destroyer-mean
A feature request for the Eden editor relating to the SAM and Radar systems, maybe for a follow up update - Please can we get an overlay cone in the editor map (and Zeus?) when placing the radar and static AA weapon systems showing their range and coverage? This will make it much easier to place systems ensuring they provide coverage of the required map zones? Also, will the SAM/radar units come with camouflage options like those added with the Tanks DLC?
No, I confess that it's largely based on a simplification my understanding from various sources of how the real life systems work (e.g. Patriot PAC-3*), especially at the relatively short ranges seen in Arma and the various accounts of observed behaviour with the in-game system fitting this understanding. Note that sources seem to disagree whether the PAC-3 engages it's radar just after launching or only in terminal phase ... however, this may be more or less the exact same thing for the PAC-3 in reality since it reaches Mach 5 in just 3 seconds (1.7Km/s), meaning at ranges of 16Km, it's going to reach the target in less than 15 seconds. Even at the real life engagement max range of 64km, that's one minute to target - battery life on the seeker isn't going to be a huge concern. There don't seem to be any public stats on the Boeing seeker's range/battery life, perhaps understandably as this is still a current generation defense system.
As noted, the standalone radar is a search radar, a powerful radar intended to find and identify aircraft as targets and then skew the launcher onto them. Once given a target by the search radar, the launcher feeds this information to the missiles, the individual missiles are ARH (Active Radar Homing) they have the target data already and use their own less powerful radar to lock onto the target. The moment the target info has been relayed from the search radar, the launcher/missiles need no further information from it. While the missiles, and sometimes the launchers have their own narrow targeting radars, they aren't constantly emitting, they are only switched on when they are actually given a target, this keeps them hidden from view of any Radar Warning Receivers and safe from ARM (Active Radiation Missiles).
Well you can with the Advanced Flight model IIRC, just not the regular flight model.
It's permanent marker on the glass, it's not going to move as you turn to stay accurate. It's how aiming is done in the real life aircraft (if they have any guide at all).

Hmm, Looks like Yosemite is too old to be supported. The port requires Metal support, which is only available with El Capitan and later, and only with recent enough hardware.

Why are you using the Legacy Ports branch? Just use the main branch.

That's intentional? It's using a sticker on the window that lets light through, but not out again. They are common on vans, buses (adverts usually) and ambulances. EDIT: Nevermind, just read the bug report and this wasn't the IDAP ambulance ...

Laws of War DLC Mines
Did you have the blade lowered or raised? In theory the blade is what prevents the larger mines from damaging the vehicle, as they don't explode underneath the hull.

Family from Norway that would like to go electrical with Model X
Submitted by tgra on Sat, 2013-09-14 09:01
First of all I would like to say that I very much like your cars when it comes to design and technic.
No I just need to convince my wife. For here it is important to know how much room it is inside the car.
Can you share with us the inside with, depth and hight.
When will the 4x4 be available in Norway? End of 2014 or beginning of 2015?
Benz | 14 september 2013
At Model X was on display at the Geneva Motor Show. My brother and I both went together by road (it was a long drive) to Geneva to see the Model X in person (+ all the other cars on display at the Geneva Motor Show). I did not measure the space inside the car, but I can tell you that there's a lot of space in there. Elon Musk compared the Model X with the Audi Q7. He said that in the Model X you can seat 7 adults AND still have a lot of space for luggage. And that is true. I personally think that the Dual-Motor All-Wheel-Drive option is the single best reason to choose the Model X instead of the Model S. But that's personal, you know.
asgeir | 14 september 2013
If you're ordering now, and don't want to spend the money for a Signature, you should prepare yourself for 2015.
I've got European reservation #453, and realistically I'm expecting a delivery late 2015.
If you've seen the launch video you get a general idea of how many bags they were able to fit. Remember, there is no petrol tank, exhaust, transmission, etc, so the trunk is very deep. And then you have the frunk in addition.
The Norwegian Tesla S forum's got a price comparison between a regular Toyota and a Tesla. The eight-year accrued cost goes in the Tesla's favor by a considerable margin.
Mathewsa | 15 september 2013
How about importing the model X from the US when it comes out there, instead of waiting til 2015 in Norway? Is there any complications in doing that?
ian t.wa.us | 15 september 2013
Because it won't be available in the US until 2015?
Brian H | 16 september 2013
I'd be surprised if any MX made it to the road in Norway before 2016, late 2015 maybe (Signatures).
Notre | 16 september 2013
With established infrastructure in Norway and EU and an established routine for EU-modifications I do not see why Tesla could not choose to introduce the Model X simultaneously in Europe.
I see your point Notre. Especially now that they have worked out the connection and other details on the S. There really isn't a reason why not. I still think they'll do just the US signatures in late 2014 though.
Shipping and other logistics still a bit of a hurdle!
I don't see any hurdles. What Tesla choose to do is another matter. They may have to take into account deadlines for EV incentives.
Shipping slows delivery a few weeks. My MS took five weeks from Production Complete to delivery. How does that compare to the US?
Often down to under 5 weeks.
You don't say.
AlMc | 19 september 2013
Notre: Actually some people have gotten vehicles very quickly (days) if they happen to order a car with colors/extras that happen to correspond to a car already produced/in production that someone has to delay taking because of travel plans/financing issues or completely walk away from for various reasons.
Thanks admjr@. Sure there are some logistics involved, but there's nothing stopping Tesla from (almost) simultaneously serving both the US and the markets overseas. Actually Tesla states "delivery starts late 2014" in Norwegian on their Norwegian Model X home page. That may be a direct translation of the US-page, but the corresponding Model S page says: "Delivery starts summer 2013".
At some point in the next year, I expect work on another production line to start. I think WW demand for S & X will rather quickly overwhelm 3-shift capacity on their single line!
danielccc | 10 oktober 2013
The X will get to Europe faster than the S, but definitely not simultaneously. Tesla will still be a relatively small company and there are only so many man hours available to the staff.
The S took a year. I would expect the X to take four to six months to cross the pond, starting almost certainly in Norway.
Lille Lance | 13 oktober 2013
Norwegian authorities are likely to increase car taxes sharply in 2017 or when total 50,000 electiske cars on the road (approx. 15,000 per day). So Tesla, speed up development and production and you will sell a lot of TMX in Norway :)
I couldn't wait for TMX, so my Model S P85 is soon approaching my garage :) :)
Brian H | 13 oktober 2013
"approx. 15,000 per day" What does that mean?
sorry .... today it's approximate 15.000 electrical cars on Norwegian roads ... when passing 50.000, the autorities may change the tax regime on el-cars

The revolution continues as old regimes collapse in Mexico and the EU, plus secret space program disclosure
The criminal cabal that has been ruling the planet earth is being systematically removed from power, with the latest being regime change in Mexico and soon the EU. Furthermore, the power struggle in Washington D.C. is definitely being won by the good guys.
Also, apparently some real disclosure is occurring about both the Roswell “UFO” incident and anti-gravity technology. The two links below were sent to us by Japanese military intelligence and they say they are genuine (although this is not an area in which this writer has much expertise). One appears to be a patent application for an anti-gravity craft, while the other claims to be a top-secret document stating that alien bodies and alien spacecraft really were recovered by the U.S. government. We leave it to experts to determine if they are real. If they are, though, it won’t be long before flying saucers appear in the showrooms.
http://d3adcc0j1hezoq.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Ultra-Top-Secret-MITD.pdf
https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/7a/2e/a1/db08e8429a89a2/US20030209637A1.pdf
What is definitely real, though, is the ongoing revolution in the West. Pentagon sources are now saying the number of sealed indictments in the U.S. is now up to 40,000 and that mass arrests are likely to start in the autumn.
For those who say the arrests will never happen, we can answer that many thousands have already been arrested or removed from power. Over 50 congressmen and senators have resigned, and the top ranks of the Justice Department, State Department, FBI, and CIA have been thoroughly cleansed of Khazarian mob servants. We have also seen the deaths of many of the top Khazarian mobsters, including David Rockefeller, Jacob de Rothschild, George Soros, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Bill Gates, etc.
What we are all waiting for now is to see some of the remaining top Khazarian mobsters like the Bushes, the Clintons, Barack Obama, and Benjamin Netanyahu (Mileikowsky) perp-walked in handcuffs in front of the world media. That day is coming soon.
The Vatican is also continuing to clean up its act. On that front, our Pentagon sources note that “While Aussie Cardinal George Pell is on trial for pedophilia, Bill Clinton’s Cardinal Ted McCarrick in D.C. is charged with rape of a minor.”
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/details-of-the-homosexual-molestation-charges-against-cardinal-mccarrick
Cardinal Pell’s case is important because he was Vatican minister of the economy, and as such, was in charge of the Vatican Bank and its secret bribe accounts held in the name of most so-called world “leaders.”
His removal is opening the way for a massive Vatican campaign in African and Latin America to fight poverty and environmental destruction.
Also, since Pell is from Australia, his removal means that vast stores of gold on the Island of Bougainville may soon be made available for the people of the planet Earth, according to Vatican sources.
One of the main remaining Khazarian power centers, the BIS – the central bank of central banks – is now being told to return the stolen gold they have used to finance the so-called G7 and G20 groups of nations, according to members of Asian and Western secret societies.
This will become visible to the Western public during and after the NATO meeting scheduled for July 11th and 12th, where the biggest changes in European governance since World War 2 will be set into motion.
The Russian and Chinese governments as well as the Pentagon have decided to replace the 28-nation EU with the 47-member Council of Europe that includes Russia and other former Soviet republics, according to Russian and Pentagon sources.
In such a scenario, NATO, which has no real reason to continue existing, will be dismantled and replaced by a Russian- and U.S.-centered Western alliance, the sources say.
Furthermore, North Korea, China, and others will also join this alliance to create a planetary protection force to replace the outdated Western Hegelian model of competing blocs of nation states, the sources say.
There were hints of this upcoming tectonic change in geo-politics in media reports about the G7 meeting that took place on June 8th and 9th in Canada.
According to one report, Trump told the gathered Western “leaders” that “NATO was as bad as NAFTA.”
Details of the homosexual molestation charges against Cardinal McCarrick
Trump’s private NATO trashing rattles allies
Then we have NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg saying in a speech in London that “It is not written in stone that the trans-Atlantic bond will survive forever.”
Without the Americans, the Europeans have no realistic military option other than to embrace Russia.
One further public confirmation of what our sources are saying came when The Washington Post reported that Trump asked French slave president Emmanuel Macron, “Why don’t you leave the EU?”
The reason, of course, is that Macron is a Rothschild slave and the Rothschilds own the EU.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the leading Khazarian bloodline family member in actual power, is looking increasingly likely to be finally toppled soon, as her weakened governing alliance is imploding over the immigration issue.
It is no coincidence that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are meeting on July 16th in Finland as that country prepares to take over as chair of the Council of Europe.
Hopefully we will soon see people who are implicated in mass murder, such as European Council President Donald Tusk, put in jail where they belong.
Allegedly, Tusk was given the top European job in exchange for going along with the murder of most of Poland’s top leadership.
Now, finally getting to Mexico, newly elected President López Obrador is promising the biggest changes in that country since its 1910 revolution.
Obrador was elected on a wave of popular disgust with corruption, crime, and treason on the part of the old regime.
One example of this was the old regime’s move to sell Mexico’s water resources to Khazarian mob-controlled private enterprises, in exchange, no doubt, for massive bribes.
In some places this has led to the price of water rising 13 times even as service and quality deteriorate. We are likely to see many arrests related to mind-boggling corruption as Obrador finally gets his chance to fix Mexico.
Obrador is also likely to end the drug violence in that country by legalizing and regulating narcotics, starting with marijuana.
In the past, the U.S. government would have intervened to stop any legalization of drugs in Mexico.
However, following Canada’s lead, the U.S. Senate has just passed a bill to legalize hemp farming, so it looks like this will be a North American joint effort (pardon the pun).
Getting back to North America, let us take a look at some more recent developments in the U.S. power struggle.
On this front, our Pentagon sources note that, “In a blunt warning to the deep state, the NSA deleted 685 million call records of innocent people, while keeping the rest for military tribunals and other purposes.”
To make sure the military tribunals are thorough in their removal of the filth that has infiltrated the U.S. government, the Trump regime is revamping the Supreme Court, the sources say.
They note, “Supreme Court Justice Kennedy finally retires to allow Trump to turn the Court to the right with another conservative pick who would be confirmed in September just in time for the Supreme Court to open on October 1.”
They also promise that “After Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is next.”
Furthermore, “When Obama is proven unqualified because he is foreign-born, Trump will then replace Supreme Court Judges Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor (both appointed by Obama) for a 7-2 conservative majority.”
However, our sources are saying that Obama was born in the U.S. but was the son of the Communist Frank Marshall Davis and was a real-life Manchurian candidate.
In either case, he will be proven a fraud and thus disqualified.
The other Khazarian power center the Trump military regime is cleaning out is the corporate media.
The corporate propagandists have already lost the information war, since a recent opinion poll shows that 72% of Americans think the establishment media deliberately reports fake news.
Also, our sources note that “Zionist Comcast suffered a nationwide outage while its bid to buy Fox was neutralized with the Department of Justice quickly approving the Disney-Fox merger.
Disney was allowed to buy Fox to stop Comcast from getting bigger, and the enlarged Disney may be seized by Trump for participating in the [Harvey] Weinstein sexual enterprise,” they add.
We would like to point out here that removing the Khazarian mafia from power is about more than just “getting the bad guys.”
It is about saving the planet. The current (Western) planetary leadership has been presiding over the largest extinction event since the dinosaurs were wiped out, and the rate of extinction has been accelerating.
A recent report shows that 2017 was the second worst year on record for loss of tropical forests, the largest source of biodiversity on this planet.
This is one of the reasons why a group of prominent scientists issued a call recently for a major international effort to “save life on Earth.”
Once these fanatical criminals are removed from power, the White Dragon Society and its allies promise a massive multi-trillion-dollar campaign to end poverty and stop environmental destruction.
With the right political will, this can be accomplished within a matter of months.
After that, we can start releasing all the hidden technology and create Heaven on Earth as well as start expanding into the Universe.
We are entering uncharted territory.

Camellia Bowl – Toledo vs Appalachian State (December 17, 2016 Prediction)
David Delano NCAA Football December 15, 2016 December 15, 2016 1 Minute
Camellia Bowl – Toledo Rockets (9-3) vs Appalachian St. (9-3) Preview
The Camellia Bowl features the Sun Belt Champion Appalachian State Mountaineers and the Toledo Rockets. Appalachian State will be playing in their second consecutive Camellia Bowl. In last season’s game the Mountaineers defeated the Ohio Bobcats 31-29
The Mountaineers have been very solid defensively this season allowing only 17 points per game (seventh in nation) and 326 yards per game (15th in the nation). The Toledo Rockets come in ranked 9th in the nation in offensive yards per game. Both teams come in with rushers who have over 1,300 rushing yards on the season. Jalin Moore leads the Appalachian State rushing attack with 1,367 rushing yards, while Kareem Hunt leads Toledo with 1,355 rushing yards.
Toledo has had more success in the passing game this season lead by Logan Woodside who has thrown for 43 touchdowns this season against only 9 interceptions. Three year started Taylor Lamb has been solid for Appalachian State, coming in with 60 touchdown passes 25 interceptions in his career of 36 starts.
Against the spread Toledo is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games against the Sun Belt Conference and 8-0-1 against the spread in their last 9 non-conference games overall. The Over is only 1-4-1 in the last six Toledo games.
Appalachian State is 6-6 against the spread this season, and the over is 5-7 in the Mountaineers games.
On the season Toledo and Appalachian State both defeated the Akron Zips, their only common opponent. The Mountaineers defeated the Zips 45-38 on the road on Sept. 24. Toledo won at Akron 48-17 on Nov. 2.
The Mountaineers defense will challenge the Rockets, but overall I think Toledo’s balance attack will be too much.

I'm not going to pretend to have the most experience as a professional handicapper. There are so many guys who I have great respect for who have been doing this for longer than I have been born. However, in the amount of time I have been handicapping I have learned a lot lessons quickly regarding the major do's and don'ts of sports handicapping, and I continue to get better and learn more every day. And unlike most of the people who will read this bio, I do not lose money betting on sports each year. So after a few years of managing and maintaining profits, and even purchasing picks from other well known and respected "expert" handicappers, whose picks turned out to be much more expensive and less successful than my own, I decided to help fellow gamblers win money, while keeping more money in their own pockets. Honesty, customer service and long term relationships are most important to me, and WINNING of course. Join me on my journey, and let's win some money! https://twitter.com/GetSportsStrong View all posts by David Delano

A bold trial by a former CIA investigator "BuyTwitter" called "To buy Twitter!" To silence President Trump on Twitter
President Donald Trump 's Tweet on Twitter (Tweet), which is controversial with something extreme, has begun a campaign to drive out President Cards from Twitter, thanks to volunteers who think that it is harmful to America and the world. The method is "BuyTwitterIt is a bold thing as the name of buying Twitter.
Fundraiser for Global Zero by Valerie Wilson: Let's #BuyTwitter and #BanTrump
https://www.gofundme.com/buytwitter
What started out the BuyTwitter campaign was the former CIA Secret AgentValery WilsonMr. "The hostile of Trampe may hurt the nation and endanger the crisis, either hostile against journalists or encouraging white superiorists, threatening North Korea to fight nuclear warfare Making the relationship to North Korea more dangerous, "Mr. Wilson argued that Tweep President's tweet has a big negative impact not only on American citizens but also throughout the world It is.
Mr. Wilson said that although Twitter is explicitly forbidden to use "Twitter for violence and threats" in Twitter's terms of service, Twitter does not take any action against President Trump 's tweets I criticize the operation.
Seems pretty clear that you can not threaten mass murder via nuclear war, right@ Twitter? Asking for 7.4 billion friends.Pic.twitter.com/333 QtnECc 4
- Kal Penn (@ kalpenn)11th August 2017
If Twitter is not going to take measures, if it is a brute force, Mr. Wilson aims to raise $ 1 billion (about 110 billion yen) in cloud funding service "GoFundMe" in order to accomplish the exclusion of the trump president from Twitter " BuyTwitter "campaign. In other words, we buy Twitter shares with raised funds, become Twitter's largest shareholder, and have a big influence on service management, we will van (forbid access) President Trump.
In response to Mr. Wilson 's BuyTwitter campaign, Sarah Sanders' spokesperson is a foolish attempt to infringe the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States "Freedom of Expression", a symbol of hatred and intoleranceCriticismdoing.
Nonetheless, even though freedom of expression can not be unconstrained, it is subject to restrictions imposed by the human rights of others and the public welfare, and the limitation of freedom of expression on Twitter by a public person known as the President of the United States of America Mr. Wilson 's attempt to question where it is is richly suggested as a constitutional issue and has been drawing attention.
I do not know how serious Mr. Wilson is about raising $ 1 billion (about 110 billion yen) of money, but donation to the BuyTwitter campaign reflects the will of the people, as much as influence the administration of President Trump It is likely to give.
At the time of writing the article, the BuyTwitter campaign has attracted more than $ 25,000 (about 2.7 million yen).
Clearly Twitter employees were acquired by the government and participated in spying

Bohemian National Hall
For more than a century, the Bohemian National Hall has been a cultural, educational, athletic and social center for Czech and Slovak immigrants. This grand building was commissioned by the Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association (BBLA), designed in the Renaissance revival style by architect William C. Frohne and constructed between 1895 and 1897. In 1994, the building was designated a New York City landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. In 2001, the BBLA transferred ownership of the Bohemian National Hall to the Czech Government for a symbolic one dollar. The Czech Government agreed to completely renovate and restore the interior of the building. The building was re-opened in October 2008 and functions as a lively multi-purpose center. The Bohemian National Hall, open to the public, provides five different venues where events can be held: Cinema, Multifunctional Room, Grand Ballroom, Ballroom Balcony with a connecting VIP Conference Room and Rooftop Terrace. “…step inside [Bohemian National Hall] for a postmodern surprise: a sleek white-on-white lobby emblazoned with catchphrases and quotes, multimedia screen projections, and a glassed-in art gallery.” 111 Places in New York That You Must Not Miss

Movie Review: ‘Top Five’ An Intelligent Comedy Bursting with Confidence & Vulnerability
Cole Clay // Film Critic
TOP FIVE | 102 min. | Rated R | Director: Chris Rock| Stars: Chris Rock, Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union, Kevin Hart, Romany Malco, Tracy Morgan, Jerry Seinfeld and Whoopi Goldberg
Chris Rock is a comedian who possesses a prolific voice that has outstretched the realm of comedy and ventured into brilliant social observations (Go back and give 1999’s BIGGER & BLACKER a listen). Rock has even wrote and directed a couple of movies (HEAD OF STATE, I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE) that were several notches below mediocre. It’s been several years since Rock has re-solidified himself as an essential talent. He has spent his time making fluff with Adam Sandler and waiting in the wings for his moment to produce something worth while. TOP FIVE is personal, intelligent, and a massive leap forward for Rock as an actor and filmmaker.
In TOP FIVE, Rock stars as Andre Allen, a successful comedian and recovering alcoholic who’s at a personal and professional crossroad. He is getting married to a reality television star (Gabrielle Union) who relishes in exploiting his celebrity by featuring their impending nuptials on her show. He wrestles with the transition of becoming the star of a panned historical drama, or appeasing the slight attention span of his audience who want the troubled star to appear in a fourth installment of a cartoonish franchise titled “Hammy The Bear.”
Rosario Dawson and Chris Rock star in TOP FIVE. Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures.
Most of the film is spent walking and talking on the streets of New York with journalist Chelsea Brown (Rosario Dawson), who is writing a profile piece on him for The New York Times. The two spend time chatting while forming a discourse about the hardships of life and love that’s clearly attempting the rhythm of a Woody Allen picture. Rock provides superb dialogue that challenges his characters as well as the audience. The duo’s chemistry is so pronounced that the notion of Allen having a finance is a peripheral concern at best. But Allen isn’t just promoting a movie, he is providing a glimpse into what went wrong with his past and what is to come in the future.
TOP FIVE possesses an emotional transparency that is content with blurring the lines between real-life and fiction. He sits down with Charlie Rose, engages in a pseudo press-junket, and visits with famous friends that range from Jerry Seinfeld to Whoopi Goldberg. As nimble as the film is, Rock still manages to take a few steps backwards. A couple of off-shoots featuring the sexual exploits of both Allen and Brown manage to be funny, but meander into material that’s gratuitous. Rock has clearly transitioned into a filmmaker with a clear message to articulate. Let’s hope that this wasn’t just a one-off for the comedian, but something tells me that he has much more to say.
TOP FIVE opens today.

Preston Barta
Hello, there! My name is Preston Barta, and I am the features editor of Fresh Fiction and senior film critic at the Denton Record-Chronicle. My cinematic love story began where I was born: off planet on the isolated desert world of the Jakku system. It's there I passed the time scavenging for loose parts with my good friend Rey. One day I found an old film projector and a dusty reel of the 1975 film JAWS. It rocked my world so much that I left my kinfolk in the rearview (I so miss their morning cups of green milk) to pursue my dreams of writing about film. It wasn't long until I met two gents who said they would give me a lift. I can't recall their names, but one was an older man who liked to point a lot and the other was a tall, hairy fella. They got me as far as one of Jupiter's moons where we crossed paths with the U.S.S. Enterprise. Some pointy-eared bastard said I was clear to come aboard. He saw that I was clutching my beloved shark movie and invited me to the "moving pictures room" where he was screening the 1993 film JURASSIC PARK to his crew. He said my life would be much more prosperous if I were familiar with more work by the god named Steven Spielberg. From there, my love for cinema blossomed. Once we reached planet Earth, everything changed. I found the small town of Denton, TX, and was welcomed into the Barta family. They showed me the writings of local film critic Boo Allen. He became my hero and caused me to chase a degree in film and journalism. After my studies at graduate of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I met some film critics who showed me the ropes and got me into my first press screening: 2011's THE GREEN LANTERN. Don't worry; I recovered just fine. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD was only four years away.

11 i) changes to the Program, and
12 ii) additions to the Program;
13 where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
14 "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
16 "Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
18 "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
20 "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.
22 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
24 a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.
25 b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
26 c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
27 d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
28 3. REQUIREMENTS
30 A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:
32 a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
33 b) its license agreement:
34 i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
35 ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
36 iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
37 iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
38 When the Program is made available in source code form:

41 b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
42 Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
44 Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
46 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
48 Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
50 For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
52 5. NO WARRANTY
54 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
56 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
58 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
60 7. GENERAL
62 If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
64 If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
66 All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
68 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
70 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.

Why Choose DNA Miracles Isotonix OPC-3?
Isotonix Delivery System
Isotonix - the World's Most Advanced Nutraceuticals
Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows a consistent maintenance of body tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed and used in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state.
Isotonix dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do in obtaining maximum absorption. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.
Pycnogenol ® is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree, which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France in Les Landes de Gascogne. This unspoiled, natural environment is the unique source of this pine bark. Pycnogenol is one of the most researched ingredients in the natural product marketplace. Published findings have demonstrated Pycnogenol's wide array of beneficial effects on the body, specifically in the realm of antioxidant health. Pine bark extract is an all-natural combination of proanthocyanidins, bioflavonoids, and organic acids. The extract has three basic properties, it is a powerful antioxidant, selectively binds to collagen and elastin, and promotes normal production of endothelial nitric oxide, which promotes normal dilation of blood vessels. Pycnogenol is especially beneficial to children who need neurological, metabolic, or digestive support because it neutralizes many free radicals before they cause oxidative stress. Its super-antioxidant capabilities help support healthy blood platelet activity, help maintain joint flexibility, promote cardiovascular health, help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and support a healthy complexion.
Grape seed extract is typically extracted from the seeds of red grapes (instead of white), which have a high content of compounds known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Grape seed extract is extremely rich in polyphenols, compounds with high antioxidant activity. Children who need neurological, metabolic or digestive support would benefit from grape seed extract because it helps to reduce the stress of free radicals and minimize oxidative stress caused by environmental toxins.
Grape skin extract is a powerful antioxidant. The antioxidant properties of grape skin extract contribute to maintaining healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries, and veins, and promoting overall cardiovascular health. Scientific studies have further shown that the OPCs found in grape skin are particularly beneficial for supporting a healthy heart and blood vessels.
Bilberry extract is derived from the leaves and berry-like fruit of a common European shrub closely related to the blueberry. Extracts of the ripe berry contain flavonoid pigments known as anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. Scientific studies confirm that bilberry extract supports healthy vision and venous circulation. Bilberry extract helps maintain healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries, and veins. Children who need neurological, metabolic or digestive support may benefit from bilberry extract because of its ability to support healthy vision and venous circulation as well as circulation to the brain.
Citrus Bioflavonoids Extract
Bioflavonoids are antioxidants found in certain plants that act as light filters, which protect the plant's DNA and other important macromolecules by absorbing ultraviolet radiation. They have been found to promote cardiovascular health and help maintain healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries, and veins. The ability for citrus bioflavioids to maintain healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries, and veins is also beneficial for helping maintain brain health and supports the production of neurotransmitters in children.
Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication, and cellular function. It is a key component of collagen, and it promotes skin, joint and eye health. It may also support the normal production of synovial fluid and normal healing. Children who need neurological, metabolic or digestive support would benefit from the normal healing properties of hyaluronic acid.
Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Biotin also supports various metabolic chemical conversions.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that has a number of biological functions. It supports normal tissue repair including skin and bone healing, as well as immune function. It is also a cofactor for the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter. Supplementing with a proven antioxidant like vitamin C is helpful in combating free radicals. Vitamin C supports glutathione levels, another important antioxidant and detoxifying chemical in the body. Vitamin C can help to boost the immune system and provide strong antioxidant defense against any environmental or dietary stresses.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D supports efficient intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, primarily in the duodenum and jejunum, by promoting synthesis of calcium-binding proteins which promote calcium absorption and retention. In addition to supporting strong bones, vitamin D promotes muscle strength and neuromuscular function. The main function of vitamin D is to support normal regulation of serum calcium concentrations.
Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate)
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin proven to be a strong antioxidant. It supports the structural and functional maintenance of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. It also promotes the normal formation of red blood cells, supports cardiovascular function and promotes immune health.
Calcium (Lactate)
Calcium supports many functions in the body, including bone health, nerve transmission, muscle contraction, vascular contraction, vasodilation, glandular secretion, cell membrane and capillary permeability, enzyme reactions, respiration, renal function, and blood coagulation. Children who need neurological, metabolic or digestive support would benefit from a calcium supplement that supports strong bones and teeth, promotes healthy growth in adolescents, and plays a critical role in the contraction of skeletal and heart muscles.
Magnesium (Carbonate)
Magnesium, an essential mineral, promotes the normal functioning of many enzymes, in particular those enzymes responsible for the production of neurotransmitters in the brain. Magnesium supports several hundred other metabolic pathways, including those involved in bone, protein and fatty acid formation, B-vitamin activation, muscle relaxation, blood clotting, and formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP; on the high energy molecule that fuels enzymatic reactions throughout the body). Magnesium supports the production of neurotransmitters and also helps to maintain brain health.
What are OPCs?
DNA Miracles Isotonix OPC-3formula includes some of the most powerful bioflavonoids – biologically-active members of plant-derived compounds – currently known to research scientists. These bioflavonoids are scientifically termed oligomeric proanthocyanidins , commonly abbreviated OPCs. The purest and best-researched OPCs include grape seed, red wine, grape skin, bilberries, citrus fruit, and pine bark extract, or Pycnogenol.
Is DNA Miracles Isotonix OPC-3 ® safe?
Yes. OPCs are among the most valuable constituents of a healthy human diet. OPCs have been researched and used for over 30 years throughout Europe. Extensive safety studies were conducted which revealed no evidence for human toxicity or allergic reactions. This product contains pure OPCs in combination with carefully balanced quantities of potassium and fructose/glucose, which set up the isotonic delivery system. DNA Miracles Isotonix OPC-3 is free of harmful chemicals, preservatives and alcohol.

X.KERNEL
'Face The Truth'
CIMMERIAN SHADE
'Face The Truth' is the debut album by the Ukrainian Cyber Melodic Death / Metalcore outfit X.Kernel and boy does it captivate throughout the entire album. By lacing a industrial / cyber style of music on the keyboards with the sheer magnitude of the Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore crossover sound, the quintet X.Kernel have clearly demonstrated that they're not adverse to challenging the conventional norms and in doing so have delivered an album that is worthy of international recognition. If they can maintain this futuristic sounding style of metal they've constructed, they may well just become The Ukraine's latest successful export after their fellow countrymen Jinjer secured a deal with Napalm Records, one can imagine the likes of Nuclear Blast being interested in this one. Imagine Sybreed being mixed with Asking Alexandria and Scar Symmetry and you get the idea, cyber metal flirting with heavenly melodic death metal and brutally-tinged Metalcore.

BEHATED REIGN
'Encounters Of The Worst Kind'
It's no secret that South America has had a relatively low-key history in terms of metal exports, except for Brazil's Sepultura and Nervochaos, Argentina's Skiltron and to an extent Colombia's Eshtadur. Venezuela on the other hand doesn't throw up any successful metal exports, until perhaps now where Behated Reign are the juggernaut this scene has been waiting for. Their debut album 'Encounters Of The Worst Kind' embraces the Melodic Death Metal sound with ease and comes dabbled with elements of Black Metal (in the riff department), it's a tour-de-force that will sure garner the band attention across planet metal. Having been in a previous incarnation in the form of Beheaded (2012-2015), the 2015-present ensemble Behated Reign are sure to knock on the doors of opportunity with this irresistible effort.
Download This: 'Insanis'
'AK-47'
Latino Thrash Metal is one thing you could call the sound devised by AK-47, or you could call it raw Thrash Metal, whatever you decide to call it, their debut demo is one of promise. Hailing from Uruguay this quintet play Thrash Metal and sing in their native Spanish language giving it that original and authentic feeling. Sure the demo itself is only two tracks long, but it's a solid effort which leaves much anticipation for their debut EP or album. Despite the demo having a low-budget artwork design, the sound certainly is not low-budget, far from it. Thunderous drums lead the backline whilst the riffs rampage on, all whilst the vocals polish off the tracks with enough headbanging opportunities to give you conclusive whiplash.
Download This: 'Amos De La Guerra'
CRUSHEM
'OBS'
There are times where it's best to stick to the 'already done' and then of course there are the times where originality should take centre stage. However and somehow Turkey's Crushem seem to have gotten themselves stuck in the middle, their debut EP 'OBS' delivers a modern approach to the Death / Groove Metal crossover genre, but some of the components are nothing new and so the EP unfortunately lands itself in the 'been there, done it' basket. There are moments where the EP could swing into more favourable territory but these are too rare for the EP to be considered an interesting listen and rather just something to pass the time of day. With the correct vision and aptitude, Crushem could craft something much more memorable rather than something just to be in existence.
Download This: 'Trial'
ORCHID SWORD
'大躍進'
Could this be the birth of 'Orientalcore' or Oriental Metalcore? Well Taiwan's Orchid Sword certainly seem to want to embrace the westernised Metalcore style with the basic breakdowns and chugging riffs that you would expect, but draft in oriental sounds by using a keyboard; it might sound more impressive with traditional instruments, a er-hu per se. However, the other aspect that makes this band and their debut album ' 大躍進' evidently oriental is the language choice, embracing their traditional Taiwanese they have created a truly unique and authentic sound that should get some attention from overseas – this stuff usually gets some form of international attention. Taking an overall aspect this album is something magical that will propel Orchid Sword into the limelight, here cometh the pioneers of Orientalcore.
Download This: 'Empty 6'
APOCRIFO MANIFESTO
'Manifiesto'
Hailing from Argentina, Heavy Groove Metallers Apocrifo Manifesto make their debut EP 'Manifiesto' a little basic and unadventurous despite using their native Spanish as language of choice. The EP is too casual for it to be taken completely seriously but does offer glimmer of hope at various points of something special to come. But for the time being it is a decent effort, it is hoped they will build on this effort and come up with something more striking. The atmosphere is just not as potent as it could be, the vocals are OK, the guitars are what you expect and the drums, well simple as they can be.
Download This: 'Alpha-Omega'
BLUNT SHOVEL
'Get In The Ground'
GOATSOUND
Now this is what you call some brutally heavy sh*t, seriously the debut album by Australia's Blunt Shovel is savage enough to rip the skin and muscle from your face. The unrelenting concoction of Death Metal-infused Metalcore is menacing enough to leave your underwear stained. 'Get In The Ground' is their debut album and it will certainly keep you occupied just as long as you can keep headbanging or air guitar playing, because it demands your immediate attention and does not let go without a fight. Fire and fury underpins this unforgiving release and it's final strike is the unrelenting ability to never stop.
Download This: 'Tongue Hung Pinata'
'Visions'
Austria has always had a success story at nurturing the Black Metal scene and yet despite the slight lack of bands expanding beyond borders, it still has a thriving and enticing scene. Dropping their third album is Atmospheric / Post-Black Metal ensemble Anomalie, 'Visions' definitely brings the chills down your spine with an icy, Alpine breeze that is almost impossible to resist. To be fair it's the kind of Atmospheric Black Metal you could fall asleep to, sure it's similar to bands like Winterfylleth and Fen, but it works and will certainly appeal to the wider metal music fan and not just those enticed by Black Metal as a whole. Anomalie are a band to keep tabs on as this effort shall certainly turn heads.

DEMOCRATUS
'Starting Again'
The Welsh are always regarded as singers when they speak, but when they let open the gates of hell for metal music to enter into their lives, their true singing abilities kick into being. Back after a 2 or so year plunge into the abyss with line-up changes and what not is South Welsh crew Democratus with their slick streamlined slab of Melodic Death Metal, successfully demonstrated on their aptly named EP 'Starting Again'; it would be cool if they crafted a song in the Welsh language, but for now let the EP strike a chord in the underground for it will serve as a building block for the next few years or so. Whilst at times the EP breaks into Thrash territory especially on 'Furious Horde' (but retaining the core Melodic Death sound), it does evade the shackles of the generic formulas so many other Melodeath bands have used over the years and thus giving the EP a greater meaning to it's existence.

For Fans of: Scar Symmetry, Bloodshot Dawn, At The Gates
THEOPSYA
'Endless'
6 years may seem a long while, in the case of France's Theopsya it certainly is seeing as they've had a line-up change and apparent hiatus during the period between their debut EP 'Tales Of An Angel' and their long-anticipated debut album 'Endless'. The magic has never gone away and with this effort they have shown they are more than ready to let rip on the world once more, hopefully with their newfound sound of glistening melodies and thunderous riffs they can rack up the attention worldwide. 'Endless' is a huge testament to the Melodic / Symphonic Goth Metal crossover and never stops entertaining throughout. Whatever Theopsya have planned next it it sure to be anticipated with high expectations because simply put, 'Endless' is a sumptuous piece of musicianship that is certain to tingle many ears alike.

YGGDRASSIL
'All Shall Burn'
It's true that the Vikings did land in Spain, so this is perhaps where Yggdrassil get their inspiration from as a band... although the thought of a Norseman eating paella is quite an amusing one, jokes aside this Spanish quintet are perfectly able to slap down their own branded form of Melodic Death Metal with Viking (of course) influences in tow. 5 years down the line and their debut album 'All Shall Burn' is born, what comes with it is a ferocious onslaught of fast-paced metal flirting with less pacey metal; a generous mixture of songs leaning towards both sides of the Melodic Death Metal sound. It is this effort that will certainly gain them some credible attention from the masses, thankfully they've avoided becoming Amon Amarth version 2.

'Selfish Age'
BETTER NOISE
Nothing says British than a reference to patriotism, well it's certain that these lions roar and they do so with such a ferocious feel to their music that it echoes the anthemic beats of Queen, metallic heaviness of Bullet For My Valentine and modern feel of Avenged Sevenfold. As Lions burst out of the ashes laid down by former moniker Rise To Remain and with the transition unleash a highly promising metal-cross-rock EP called 'Selfish Age'; what Dickinson manages to do, Worsnop didn't. They've clearly done their homework with this effort because it ticks all the boxes that metal and rock fans would want, a record worth opening the pit up for. As Lions are the modern Iron Maiden and join the likes of Asking Alexandria, BFMV and BMTH as leaders of the modern wave of British Metal.

'WWIII'
NADIR MUSIC
When you come to think of Albania, you're thoughts turn to the double-headed black eagle, the Balkan history and it's Mediterranean climate and yet in-between all of that is a small, vibrant metal scene spurred on by veterans such as Crossbones. This quartet are one of the earliest pioneers of the Albanian Metal scene and have just dropped their second album 'WWIII', exactly two decades after their debut album 'Days Of Rage'. Their effortless grinding together of Heavy Metal rhythms and Thrash Metal aggression remain unchallenged throughout and provide a delightful listen in it's wake, it's an honourable milestone for their national scene and is one that gives them automatic right to be flying the flag for the Albanian Metal scene.

'Beast Incarnate'
UNIQUE LEADER
Brutal Death Metal with Technical Metal elements dotted around, yup this is Beheaded as you would expect them. They have not lost their magic touch despite the five-year gap between their new album
'Beast Incarnate' and their fourth album 'Never to Dawn', in fact you might need some life insurance instated before indulging in this face-f*cking slab of fortified metallic cranial pulverisation. Whilst the vocals might not be as prominent as the music itself, the raw feeling certainly adds to the dynamics presented herewith... 'Beast Incarnate' is like an orgy gone insane, seriously you're sex would be spiced up when screwing to the sounds emanating from this beast-of-an-album. Prepare for the ultimate anal penetration.

For fans of: Suffocation, Prostitute Disfigurement, Gorguts
'The Divine Menace'
Taking their lyrical influence from the 'Elder Scroll' game series one begins to ponder why they decided to go down that chosen path, but when mixed with Symphonic Power Metal it makes more sense to indulge in the fantasy world. Austria's Daedric Tales are no newcomers to the scene despite
'The Divine Menace' being their debut album, they've been beating around the Alps for nearly a decade and yet this effort presented is a delightful one. Despite all their efforts, this album will probably become ignored by the labels as it lacks that final piece to make it an album that would leave people gob-smacked, despite this though the album is a decent piece of musicianship that should appeal to many metal fans worldwide.

ANALEPSY
'Atrocities From Beyond'
VOMIT YOUR SHIRT | RISING NEMESIS
This is what you would call filthy-rotten Brutal Death Metal, the kind that would grapple hold of your bollocks and crush them to death by means of corkscrew castration. Sure to the unintelligible the vocals are prime pig squeals and low-fi guttural emittance, but behind the gut-wrenching vocals lies a pulverising mixture of unrelenting drums, barbaric riffs and overall loudness designed to keep your neighbours sweating in their sleep. 'Atrocities From Beyond' is the Portuguese quartet's second album and it's destined to be one of the heaviest metal releases of 2017, it's so metal it cannot be unleashed on the festival circuit without prior warning.

'The Angel Reborn'
Built in the style of German Power Metal, Australia's Silent Knight opt for practicality over technicality which (let's be honest) at times can become too much to comprehend and thus sometimes its good to break it down to basics and that's what Silent Knight do... good ol' fashioned Heavy / Power Metal. Dropping their latest EP 'The Angel Reborn', this ensemble from down under create music in the vein of Helloween and give it a dosing of Maiden-esque atmospherics, leaving the EP to enthral whomever listens to it. Silent Knight are perhaps a gem from down under yet to be discovered by the global masses, but damn they do deserve some form of attention - this EP cannot go unnoticed.

HEAVENLESS
'Whocantbenamed'
Brazil has a long history of extreme metal, but never has one heard a band quite like Heavenless who seem to want to strap together Deathcore elements with Death / Thrash Metal, weird right? Not as odd as their debut album title mind, if 'Whocantbenamed' is a subtle reference to Voldemort from Harry Potter then I'd love to see how they manage to perform their magic in front of the muggles. Either way the vocals are brutal but unrecognisable and yet that has a degrading effect on the album, the overall release is a decent one. Crunchy riffs lead the charge whilst the thunderous drums and thick bass supplement the onslaught perfectly, what more could you want? A Quidditch match? on your broom.

AETERNAM
'Ruins Of Empires'
If truth be told, Aeternam are the bastard sons of Scarab (Egypt) and Myrath (Tunisia), by mixing together the brutality of Death Metal with the Arabic influences in the Symphonic and Folk Metal forms, this Moroccan-Canadian unit are priming themselves to become a force to be reckoned with. Their third album 'Ruins Of Empires' could be seen as the crusader soundtrack of the metal world, spewing out hatred against those who turn on each other for the sake of religion. Ultimately this album is enough to give this band fullest attention from all corners of planet metal. As for the Canadian Metal scene, well, this album will need something extra-special to surpass this album, because to be quite frank it's hard to see anything bettering this for sometime.

BLACKSTORM 666

But what is Cypecore? Is it a codeword for a branch of Modern Metal, or is it the storm from Germany you did not see coming. Assimilating drums provide the solidarity for the riffs to ripple across whilst the vocals add the final blow that will leave you for dead, embrace this album but fear it also, it's not for the weak nor elitist metalheads.

THE HYPOTHESIS
'Origin'
Modern Melodic Death Metal seems to be the in-thing recently, and Finland's The Hypothesis are no exception. By layering together speed, brutality, electronic atmospherics, technicality and an attitude that says 'fuck you', The Hypothesis are primed to take over planet earth with their awaited debut album 'Origin'. No matter how many tracks you check out, you will never feel bored out enough to switch off, have a beer or a wank, depending on what takes your first preference. Engineered to run away like a thing possessed, this album will hit you like a bullet so hard that you will have noticed the album has finished playing before you come to your senses as to what has just happened.

'Deathless & Fleshless'
UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT
Let's be honest, the Venezuelan Metal scene is a very underground one and has ever really seen the light of day on the international circuit. So when the three-piece Old-School Death Metal horde Nocturnal Hollow step out of their bunker with their latest offering 'Deathless & Fleshless', you know that they mean business and the music demands attention from across the world. Plundering atmospherics aid the thickness of the riffs, pristine production levels and attitude that would get the likes of Unleashed and Morbid Angel raising their thumbs in approval. 'Deathless & Fleshless' is a gritty release designed to leave you battered and scarred, seriously if you love Death Metal but despise this release, then there is something wrong with you.

'Revival'
UNDERGROUND SYMPHONY
Never has such an exciting band from Estonia arisen like this since the days of early Metsatöll. The sextet Emphasis have gone from strength to strength throughout their tenure, having released an EP, a batch of singles and had a switch of vocalists, their attention to detail brought them to the point of unleashing their debut album 'Revival'. Replacing vocal duties is never easy, but Emphasis have done a like for like as both ex and current main vocalists deliver such a powerful vocal range, that luckily their gamble paid off. 'Revival' delivers epic solo's, thunderous drums, dynamically-electric atmospherics and vocals so angelic, they would have had to be made in heaven to be this captivating. With this effort, Emphasis clearly have a vision to follow and by doing so, will ultimately establish themselves as Estonia's long awaited answer to Nightwish.

SINNERY
'A Feast Of Fools'
There must be something in the Israeli waters because no matter what the year is, there is always a rally of sensational albums, and adding to this year's collection of 'oh my god what the hell just happened' releases is Sinnery's 'A Feast Of Fools'. Calling it 'thrashtastic' would be an understatement to say the very release as it's gritty reception leaves the listener gasping for more, or perhaps just gasping for water due to it's demanding nature for incessant headbanging. Given the strength of Sinnery's 'A Feast Of Fools', being their debut album, the expectations for this Israeli unit to do exceptionally well is certainly on the cards, there will be no place to hide for this quartet. As brutal as rapid machine-gun fire and as unpredictably technical as a surprise assault, 'A Feast Of Fools' is perhaps not only the finest Israeli Thrash Metal release to surface, but perhaps one of the finest Thrash Metal releases to arise out of the Middle East region.

'Archlechino'
Seventeen years have passed since the debut album by Kratos was released and now, in 2016, they have emerged once again to drop their long-awaited second album 'Archlechino'. The Romanian quartet merge together the delicacies of Symphonic Metal with the twisted and atmospheric nature of Dark Metal to develop a sound that would lend itself to the dramatics found within operetta. In fact, 'Archlechino' could be the metal version of 'The Phantom Of The Opera' with the romantic side of the music being threatened by the darkened gritty side, which all in all makes Kratos truly unique. There is plenty of different sounds reverberating across all the songs herewith, but also with each song comes it's own unique emotional storytelling, something that will appeal to those who seek solace in metal's wide array of emotions.

'Emerger'
Returning with their second offering is Against, a Groovy Metalcore outfit who hail from the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires. Their tightness on this release runs throughout and leaves an aftertaste when it's finished, an aftertaste of wanting and desiring more from this four-piece army. To translate the album title is taking the Spanish-English translation one step too far, because whilst in Spanish the album is 'Emerger', in English it is 'emerge'. Funny right? Maybe, but even so these lads certainly know what notes to string together as the album gleams with Tango-inspired grooves, smooth metalcore elements and a clear D.I.Y. attitude, hell let's not call it Groovy Metalcore, instead we'll call it 'Tango Metal'. Whatever you decided to call it, 'Emerger' is a decent enough album that deserves a listen regardless.

'Echelon'
After all of the technical brutality expressed on Ordnance's second album 'Echelon', you would imagine that they would be left without any energy. Hardly likely, when this band's efforts at unleashing a prim and proper debut album are highly noticeable that you begin to question why aren't they signed? Well there are subtle hints as to why this is the case, there is at times too much flash and not enough pelting, sure using a drum machine is not always the best idea and on 'Echelon' this proves the case. But for this Australian unit, they are sure to rectify these two issues on their next release. For now, listeners can explore the almost-splendour release that is 'Echelon', ignoring the two mentioned issues, the album slams hard with gritty vocals, dirty riffs and a filthy-rotten atmosphere, ironically the drum machine does the trick at hitting hard in the right places, the right notes to give the album that full-on whack feeling.

'Manifest Of Mortal Sickness'
Fresh from the snowy Alps of Austria, comes this ten-legged melodic machine known as Croword and their subsequent premier EP 'Manifest Of Mortal Sickness'. The EP is laced with infectious riffs, vocals so brutal that your last hangover has just been outclassed and drums so precise, they cannot get any more on point. For the Melodic Death Metal band, this ultimately is the dream start for them and is a sure sign there is a lot to come from this group. With this effort, Croword have quite rightfully instated themselves as a band to watch because their first EP packs a punch, that hits your brain so hard you would need a CAT scan to check out the imminent damage. Seriously you would be hard pushed to find an exciting premier release from a Melodic Death Metal band quite like this, this year!

Kill The Whore return with their second album, it's title longer than the hardest boner you have ever had... 'Chronic Anthropophagy Thanatophilia Fetistic Morgue'. This dual project is primarily based in Belize, a country in Central America with a very small but active metal scene, one that Andy Chuc has had a lot of input in. However 'Chronic Anthropophagy Thanatophilia Fetistic Morgue' comes loaded with eight gore-infested tracks and two rotten covers, to some it's just noise and to others its maximum brutality, make of it what you will as it is simply Brutal Death / Grind Metal. Undistinguishable vocals lead the charge with the thunderous, tuned down guitars and drums supporting the bloody onslaught. So whenever you're up for a gore-horror fest, be it dramatics or film, just remember to indulge in this album before undertaking said activity.

LIGHTLESS MOOR
'Hymn For The Fallen'
Italy's Gothic / Doom Metal maestros Lightless Moor emerge out of the shadows with their second offering 'Hymn For The Fallen'. Continuing and improving their sound that they established on their debut album 'The Poem - Crying My Grief To A Feeble Dawn', this sextet clearly had vision in sight as this latest effort offers itself as the musical form to a dark poetic work, perhaps as sorrowful and touching as Shakespeare's Macbeth or Romeo & Juliet. Lurching over the hour mark, there is plenty on this album to keep listeners occupied with and unusually for a Doom-based album, none of the songs are extremely long. 'Hymn For The Fallen' is the latest example of the Italian Metal scene's love affair for Gothic and Doom Metal sounds, or let's call it 'Dark Metal'. Such beauty and dramatics have never entwined like this before.

'Midnight Eternal' comes complete with arousing dynamics, theatrically-electric atmospherics and a sound that Midnight Eternal can call their own.

'Turan'
OSMOSE PRODS.
Considered to be the only currently active metal bands from Kyrgyzstan, Darkestrah have been residing in Germany as expatriates of late and although this means a cultural shift, it has not deterred them from unleashing albums with folk-laden Epic Black Metal as their adopted sound. 'Turan' is the quintet's latest offering and it comes brim-loaded with six tracks averaging out at eight minutes long, it does not get any less epic than that. Because the exoticness of the album cannot be ignored, it has a certain vibe to it that gives Darkestrah their own unique identity irrespective of cultural heritage. For those who prefer their Black Metal songs to be emphatic, valiant and above all adventurous, then 'Turan' is your next album purchase because seriously, not even the Black Metal greats could pull of an album as authentically outstanding as this one. Hails to the kings of the new wave of Kyrgyz Black Metal.

FORGED IN BLACK
'Fear Reflecting Fear'
The boys from Southend (Sarfend to those natives of the coastal town in Essex) leave their bunker with another EP in their hands, this time 'Fear Reflecting Fear' is their latest offering and in short might as well be a cornerstone in the band's career. They never stopped chugging away this lot, in fact this EP pretty much picks up from where they left off since their last EP 'The Tide' blew away the British Metal scene. If this is what Forged In Black are going to sound like in the future, then this will surely result in them scoring a slot on the RJD stage at Bloodstock. Hell-bent on creating their own sound, which they've managed to do, satisfactory is never good enough with this lot and thus having pulled all of the stoppers out, have crafted an EP that will shake the very foundations of the Thrash Metal hall of fame with newfound vigour. Mixing Thrash Metal with elements of Speed Metal, Heavy Metal and a pinch of Power Metal in terms of Stoz's vocals is what Forged In Black does best, long may it continue.

Nemesea are probably and arguably one of the most underrated Gothic Metal bands from the Dutch Metal scene, whilst their fellow countrymen Within Temptation, Delain and Epica run riot across planet metal, Nemesea are left picking up the pieces... not any more. With their latest album 'Uprise', they take the bold step and switch to an electronic-influenced sound which is already blessed with the majestic vocals of Manda Ophuis since day one. Whilst it might not appeal to some fans of Gothic Metal / Rock, it certainly will bring a new horde of fans to like the band. Nemesea are set on making a metal music revolution and boy with 'Uprise' as bloody infectious as it is, they've certainly gone the right way at setting up the blueprint for a new take on the already saturated Gothic Metal style. 'Uprise' and join Nemesea on their newfound quest for undiscovered music dynamics.

'Beyond The Walls Of Death'
Enter the emergence of 'Symphonic Film Score Metal', a combination of Symphonic Metal music at the very core, glazed over with elements found within film scores as dramatic as Williams' Star Wars overture or as adventurous as Two Steps From Hell. Arguably considered the successor to Apocalyptica in terms of realizing the erotic relationship between metal and classical music, Ravenia is a force to be reckoned with. Lead by the elegant Armi Päivinen and her fellow suitors of whom provide the sheer sensational dynamics as a dramatic backdrop, simply through the utilization of guitars, drums, violins, a viola, cello and a contrabass. With 'Beyond The Walls Of Death' being the debut album from the Finnish nine-piece, they could easily be snapped up to pen the score for the forthcoming 2017 film 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'. Seriously if you're looking for something new within the Symphonic Metal style, you've found your band.

INNER BLAST
'Prophecy'
Ten years since their inception and four years since their debut EP, Portuguese Gothic Metallers Inner Blast finally stamp their authority on the ground with their debut album 'Prophecy'. Whilst what they're doing is not really new, it does however serve as a delightful listen, you know? It's the kind of album that sits in the middle of what's new and what's old, it's neither groundbreaking nor cliche. But it has everything covered, there are some slow ballad-style songs and then there's the bouncy, joyful songs that would almost certainly brighten your day. This may do well in the Iberian, Italian and French Metal scenes, possibly also the British, but unfortunately it lacks that snapping point that otherwise would give it greater prospects. 'Prophecy' might not be a blast, but it will have you hooked to a certain extent, that's for sure.

Whatever sickening description you can slap on this fine example of Irish Metal, the matter of the fact is that it will give you an orgasmic reaction so erotically disturbing, you would have put the red light district out of business. Thundering vocals come together hand-in-hand with rapid-fire riffs, dangerously violent drums and an atmosphere worthy of a pint of Guinness... or two. After indulging yourself in this release, you can easily imagine them becoming an instant hit across the Irish Sea in the UK, who doesn't love a bit of Thrash Metal right?

'Undertones'
Благој Цилаков (Blagoj Cilakov) is the mastermind behind the Progressive / Djent project 350teric (Esoteric) and he has conjured up his sixth album in the project's 7-year history. 'Undertones' is the latest offering by this Macedonian virtuoso and despite it being completely instrumental, like his previous releases, the music itself talks in it's own form of lyric. With multiple music layers binding this sound together, it's no surprise that listeners would become completely entranced and attached to the wizardry displayed herewith. Majestic and mesmerizing in every aspect, this is perhaps the finest instrumental release the Balkans has ever produced across the entire music spectrum. 'Undertones' lasts a respectable 35 minutes, and so with the variation in tracks clearly evident, listeners will not be stuck for lack of interest as not only is Progressive and Djent Metal present, there are Metalcore elements here and there as well.

'Possession'
RIFF ROCK
It's the sort of music that would do well at the Notting Hill Carnival (maybe even winning the Eurovision for the UK), blending a mix of psychedelia with stoner metal and injecting Aretha style vocals, Royal Blood rock intuition and ancient West African voodoo vibes. All hail 'Possession', the latest effort by the London trio Vodun, which does more than just giving listeners something to rock out to, it is a conglomerate of rock/metal elements. With songs like 'Bloodstones' almost providing itself as an ideal bond song, well on this effort Vodun could easily write a bond song, even if Live & Let Die would provide the perfect comparison to the band's music. Vodun have proven that music not only brings different music styles together, but also it breaks down the ethnic barrier and as the band evidently proves, there is no room for discrimination. 'Possession' would certainly have been given the thumbs up by Baron Samedi, had he not been 'killed' by the snakes....

'Tajer Al Punqia / Akyr Zaman'
Two of the most underground Black Metal outfits have come together to collaborate and unleash a truly unique and historical moment in the history of metal music as we know it. Saudi Arabian trio Al-Namrood and Kyrgyz trio Darkestrah lock horns to release the split album 'Tajer Al Punqia / Akyr Zaman', a full-on 22-minute, 3 track epic consisting of some rather unrelenting Black / Folk Metal seen from the Middle East / Central Asia regions. Quintessentially important to the survival of the smaller, 'endangered' (as-it-were) metal scenes, this split offers an insight into the extreme underground and with it, exposes a simply awe-inspiring and magical horde of musicians and subsequent music that defies the odds and stands for two things, one freedom of speech but more importantly to rejoice alongside the world's metal scenes. For ethos, charisma and utmost diligence in remaining true to their cause, 'Tajer Al Punqia / Akyr Zaman' is a truly symbolic release for those who believe in metal as a cultural expression.

'Premonitions'
By layering classical, occultist and theatrical elements across Melodic Death Metal, Brazil's D.A.M. have crafted their own sound out of the forest of metal music. This evident on their latest offering 'Premonitions' as they hire the services of Marina Guimarães and Jéssica Delazare to cover the female side of this rather promising Brazilian outfit. Whilst perhaps the first two tracks may be unconventionally long, the latter 2/3 of the release certainly deal justice, through the use of intricate keyboard compositions, murderous riffs, blasting drums (programmed) and vocals so vicious that the favela's would weep in terror. To the trained ear you can tell that there are similarities with other bands, but for the more diverse metal fans, 'Premonitions' is a truly ambitious release from this promising unit. D.A.M. are flying the flag for the Brazilian Metal scene.

In the deepest grim and most serene valleys of bonnie Scotland resides a Black Metal band so youthful yet so mature in their music, that quite frankly deserves immediate appreciation. Hail to the new brethren Ifrinn and their tantalisingly raw premier self-titled demo. Smothered with atmospherics of all kinds, this demo demonstrates that this Scottish group hold much promise in joining the second wave of British Black Metal. Hiding their identities under a shrouded veil of mystery, all that can be said of the composers is that their dank and hallowing harrowing music is one not to be taken lightly and is ultimately intended for those who revel or succumb to the powers residing within the Black Metal force. 'Ifrinn' might as well become one of the darkest and eeriest releases found within the entire Scottish Metal scene, proceed with caution, you have been warned.

'Into The Wild'
Russia's long-awaited answer to Asking Alexandria is finally a reality, but with an additional twist here and there. Take for example their latest effort 'Into The Wild', it incorporates Trance, Hardcore, Metalcore, Post-Hardcore, Emocore and elements of Dubstep and EBM. Hell let's call them electronicore, but with that in mind because the band prefer to be genre-less let's call them a work of art. 'Into The Wild' is jam-packed with enough tunes to get a party started, chill out, surf to or whatever listeners do best, the salient point is that no matter what you're into, Wildways have it covered. Primed and prepared to instate themselves as Russia's most successful Metalcore export, Wildways are ready to assimilate the world with their infectious, emotional and well-thought-out works of musical art. This sh*t is too damn catchy.

'This Burden Is Mine'
The latest effort by soloist Sahil 'Demonstealer' Makhija is here, featuring Ashwin Shriyan on bass and legendary drummer George Kollias of Nile. 'This Burden Is Mine' is a tremendous effort as it weaves its way through Death Metal, Thrash Metal and even into the Heavy Metal category. Through the use of guttural and clean vocals, savagely crafted riffs and thunderous drumming, this album flits from force to force and as a result is designed to satisfy all matters of metal music taste. 'This Burden Is Mine' is not just another album, it's a personal statement from the man himself that somewhat suggests that the achievements in life are being carried on his shoulders as depicted in the artwork. Sonically diverse, 'This Burden Is Mine' will have you head-banging, moshing, dancing and possibly masturbating at every passing song, who knows what you will do when listening to this release but one thing is for definite, this is just the start for this metal music genius; a true god within the Indian Metal scene.

LAMORI
'To Die Once Again'
You could say that LAMORI hail from Finland, but we prefer to say they hail from the Åland Islands, an archipegalo straddled between Sweden and Finland; the latter owns it. 'To Die Once Again' is the band's second album and upon listening to it, stark comparisons with HIM can be drawn like a shooting star in the midnight sky. But despite the clear linkage, 'To Die Once Again' offers a darker overtone with the lyrics primarily covering topics like death, sadness, depression and Gothic aesthetics. Musically sound, 'To Die Once Again' is mainly a Hard Rock album but borrows elements from Alternative Metal and Gothic Metal; with subtle pinches of Doom Metal. This is more than just music, this album paints a picture of how the darker side of life and love becomes neglected, the harsh reality, the wicked truth and it goes without saying, 'To Die Once Again' is to suggest a rebirth gone wrong. But for LAMORI, this is the album that will take them to further international recognition. Now, about that geographical dispute....

'Fall Of The Seventh Golden Star'
Hailing from the throne of Norwegian Black Metal that is Bergen, sextet Cretura throwaway the rulebook and write their own with their unforgiving and eccentric form of Symphonic Extreme Metal. By taking their forthcoming offering as a pure example and breaking it down, it is clear that the Symphonic, Black and Gothic Metal genres coalesce in becoming the nexus between their created vision and background heritage. Their forthcoming album 'Fall Of The Seventh Golden Star' is a genre-defining album if not at least an attempt to break free from the shackles of the Norwegian Black ('extreme') metal scene. Lasting a full-on hour, this album will serve the band as their calling card for the summer festivals, demanding that the band should be booked, because after hearing this effort you will definitely want to experience it live. In essence, Cretura are revelling in the time we can effectively call: 'The 3rd Wave of Black Metal'.

'Ghost Of A Blood Tie'

After reforming back in 2014 after five years inactivity; formed in 1993, France's Elvaron are back and it seems with new and fresh ideas. With the current line-up consisting of two original members, an ex-drummer and a brand new keyboardist, it's a meeting of old and new ideas being channelled down into new ambitions. 'Ghost Of A Blood Tie' is the band's fifth album and is consequentially the band's first album since reformation, now for those who are good at waiting for the music to kick off, this album is for you. However for those who prefer something quicker, well with 8 tracks collectively lasting 64 minutes, on average 8 minutes per track, well you get the picture. Despite the insane length, this Progressive Thrash Metal effort is a decent effort and will certainly get the Elvaron fan base rampaging once again. Emphatic solo's, ballistic drums, savage riffs, majestic vocals and keyboard elements so atmospheric, that all of this combined would be the perfect soundtrack to a summer's thunderstorm.

ANIENT
'Elemental' + 'Consigned To Flames'
To Anient is to frustrate or to annihilate, suffice to say that is what the Australian quartet have done on their premier EP 'Elemental' released last year. Splattering together a raucous mess of expertly laid Death / Thrash Metal with the embodied attitude of destruction, these boys have crafted a sound that whilst may bode well on the South Pacific circuit, might just lack that element to gain attention from fans overseas. That's not to say the release is crap, it just lacks that killer blow. Despite the stated criticism, it's a solid effort that garners some element of authority over it's listeners, demanding them to listen to the release to the very death. Gritty as it comes, tidy as it goes, 'Elemental' is a really interesting release that not only could be their best material, but also serves as a decent salutation to their 10th year of activity.
Their debut album 'Consigned To Flames' is a rather solid effort that ironically somehow is not as good as their later EP yet ironically once again does show elements that it is just as good as their EP, confusing right? The sad thing is that we've heard this thing before, it's nothing new and despite the excellent effort at making a mark, it slips slightly at the very last moment. That said, given it took the band nine years since their formation to craft this work, the overall impression given is that they wanted to take their time to make it sound perfect. They did make it sound perfect, just, it lacks that one bit of spark that would otherwise have given it a greater rating. But this should not deter Anient from hitting the studio and unleashing an expected belter in the future.

INSANIAM
'Neurotic Mental Storm'
It may well be perhaps as chaotic as a mental asylum, but the debut album by Spanish Black Metal masochists Insaniam undoubtedly gives the band justification for being one of 2016's most anticipated extreme metal bands. As disturbing and mind-intrusive as the album title suggests, this finely tuned masterpiece explores the various realms of the Black and Death Metal styles, pinches ideas here and there and ultimately devises a sound that Insaniam could call their own. If you like, this is what Donnie Darko and the SAW films merged together would sound like in music-form, gore-infested, psychopathic, excruciatingly painful and chilling to the bone. This album is guaranteed to mess with your mind, so here comes the health warning, proceed with caution.

SLOWROT
'Baby On Board'
Essentially Slowrot sounds like The Berzerker amped down a bit, whilst retaining some of the menacing brutality the band delivered across the period they existed. Hail the newcomers Slowrot with their unforgiving blend of fast riffage, gruelling vocals and cranial-crushing drums. 'Baby On Board' is this Australian trio's debut album and my god, does it unleash a torrential battering of face-punching, bone-crunchng, skin-munching and shit-dumping metal. With this effort they have perfected a sound that ought to turn heads there way, well you cannot get any more sickening than this, or can you? Whatever the future holds for this lads, they have the red carpet laid down in front of them. 'Baby On Board' is their wager, record labels come and get these lads, because with this effort they won't have to hang around long before being snapped up, you have been warned.

DEgITx
'Forest Spirits'
The latest effort by Belarusian instrumentalist DEgITX could easily lend itself as a soundtrack to a sci-fi film, perhaps maybe the forthcoming Star Wars films? Think ethereal, think cyber metal meets Power / Death Metal instrumental elements, you'll get the idea. 'Forest Spirits' is Alexey Kasyanchuk's third album in this project and by the sounds of it, he shows no signs of stopping any time soon. Take for example the tune 'Moonlight & Sunrise', it's clear he is aiming to create his own unique sound and quite frankly he does so, we dub it 'Sci-Fi Death Metal'. With a host of various guest musicians helping out, 'Forest Spirits' could well be a strong contender for Belarusian Metal release of the year. The effort is certainly there, the music is definitely real and the atmosphere is beyond imagination. Immerse yourself in the wondrous mind of DEgITx, open your mind up and enjoy.

BLACK ROW
'2016 Demo'
Emerging from the depths of the Bolivian valleys is the all-female Thrashers Black Row, now whoever says that females cannot rock hard are lying to themselves. Females can't play metal? Bullshit. Black Row's 2016 demo has enough anger and ferocity on it to make you shit yourself so hard, your intestines will rupture with extreme pain. Equally as menacing as the likes of Slayer, Black Row's premier demo carries all the hallmarks of a truly epic South American metal band in the making. No punches are held back on this release as it goes balls-to-the-wall with every riff, pounding of the drum and erotic vocal line delivered, hell although some people would think of this as rather sexy, we think of Black Row as the sisters of Slayer, rather than just four females playing music. Some chicks are hell-bent for leather, some for sex, some possibly for glam, but Black Row are simply hell-bent for metal.

BOGOTAH
'Um Brinde Ao Fim Do Mundo'
Brazil's answer to 5 Finger Death Punch has finally arrived in the form of Bogotah, the quarter from the sun-kissed streets of São Gonçalo have their dues in order as their debut album 'Um Brinde Ao Fim Do Mundo' sends out shocks through the air and then some. Singing in Brazilian Portuguese, Bogotah would have no issues breaking out into Portugal but might struggle elsewhere in Europe, that said look at all those Folk Metal bands and indeed Rammstein, so anything's possible. As for the debut album, well this will certainly satisfy most metalheads as it is rampant, rhythmic and as obvious as it is, groovy. Lyrically it speaks about political and societal issues, so whilst the ideas may resonate with Thrash Metal (and some elements of this are present in the music), the core resides in Groove Metal. Hotly tipped to become Brazil's latest successful metal export.

Khanъ
'Знамение'
Experimenting can go well if gone about it the right way, however sometimes during that process the result may come up as something rather incomplete. Sure when talking about the debut album by Bulgarian 'Folkcore' horde Khanъ it is clear that the intention to create something rather unique is there, but there are a few songs that just fall at the wayside as they lose focus. However the overall thought of the album is one of positive feelings, because this sound might as well be truly authentic to the Bulgarians thus calling it their own. By weaving Metalcore with the tambura, Khanъ are able to make worlds collide just as Apocalyptica did with their cello's. 'Знамение' is the debut album by this group and it is sure to appease those desiring for something new and original. As for Khanъ, well they simply are the true pioneers of 'Folkcore', long may the subgenre continue.

SEVENTH ARMY
'Artificial God'
THANATOLOGY
Chinese Black Metal is probably slightly darker than what resides in the Nordic nations, Seventh Army might as well back up that assumption with their debut album 'Artificial God'. By mixing together the harshened darkness of Black Metal with some rather snazzy industrial elements, this trio from Beijing position themselves as a rather exciting prospect. Having only been going eight months and now releasing their first album, it is clear Seventh Army don't plan to hang around and that their focus is extremely sharp. However this is no Aborym, far from it, this is their darker cousin. It's like as if you were comparing it to Star Wars where Darth Vader would be Aborym and Kylo Ren would be the Seventh Army. Granted it's as dark as the dark side, but it's anger and unpredictable being certainly relates to Kylo Ren.

LICANTROPÍA
'Inconsciente Mente'
What is amazing about this release is the crispness of the guitars and drums, yet the vocals despite all the hard work and attempts to perfect them, lack that slight bit of clarity that otherwise would have pushed this premier EP high on the rating scale. Instead 'Inconsciente Mente' by Colombian Melodic Death Metal pilgrims Licantropía perches itself at the lower end of the high scale. Infectious melodies, tight-ass riffs and elegant brutality may well give this band the credit they deserve but in the end the vocals need refining and polishing. Hopefully their next release will herald this change and as a result, give the band that range of song-artillery they can take to fire upon the South American metal scenes. Wedged in the Swedish Melodic Death Metal style, the boys from Bogotá have the creativity to make it, but for now they just not quite there.

INFERNAL ASCENSION
'Infernal Ascension'
Hailing from Costa Rica, Infernal Ascension bring classic 80's Thrash Metal and sprinkle it with Black Metal influences ranging from the vocals to the evident corpse-paint. 'Infernal Ascension' is the band's self-titled EP and it holds much promise for this starlet group. Especially when the first track kicks off with a slowly increasing sound that eventually gives way quickly to unexpected murderous riffs and merciless drumming. Granted this is nothing new and probably won't evolve into something original in that sense, but clearly the lads have got their affairs in order and possibly could forge a respectable album out of this solid EP. Make no mistake, Infernal Ascension are not to be ignored for they will carry your soul on a plate to their rise to international stardom.

LASHER ZOMBIE
'Belizean Carnage Collection'
METAL MAYHEM
Hailing from one of the most remote metal scenes in Central America, Belizean Death Metal conjurers Lasher Zombie return with their second studio offering five years after their debut. 'Belizean Carnage Collection' is a solid yet gritty slab of no-nonsense Death Metal that is designed to carve your senses in half, all done through the unrelenting drums clashing against the barbed-wire riffs, whilst the vocals deliver the raw and brutally aggressive stuff. 'Belizean Carnage Collection' might not necessarily be the album to set the world alight, far from it, but it does demand international attention from labels who specialize in said music genre; Comatose Music we're pointing at you. With this effort, Lasher Zombie reaffirm themselves as true leaders of Belizean Metal music; even though the first potentially noted band was Bestial Lust (1995), however with Lasher Zombie the scene has newfound glory.

'Memories'
SOUND AGE PRODS.
Bands who mix a metal genre with influences from their traditional music or cultural background ought to be merited each time for creating their own unique sound. One such band is Eden who lace together the free-flowing graceful tunes of the violin with the majestic Symphonic Metal style, giving it that distinctly ethnic Russian sound. No doubt some metalheads will whine that they sound similar to most Symphonic Metal bands, but in reality they are different. From start to finish, Eden's latest effort 'Memories' sums up how good the quintet really are and is an absolute delight to listen to, so for once turn off that overly-processed crap you listen to and indulge in true Symphonic Metal courtesy of Russia's Eden.

BLOODY BROTHERHOOD
'Ritual Of Blood'
As far as this debut album is concerned, either the producer does not know metal or the band were so tired they forgot how to play their instruments. 'Ritual Of Blood' may well be the first release from Spanish Death Metal mob Bloody Brotherhood, but it is a far cry from being anything spectacular. It falls well and truly in the category of 'cliche metal', stereotypical track titles are marred by the poorly executed vocals, miserable riffs and non-existent drumming. In all honesty gargling acid or listening to generic pop music would be far more entertaining, not to mention tolerable. As far as Spanish Metal goes, here's hoping that Bloody Brotherhood pull their socks up before their band career goes as flat as a bouncy castle mauled by a stampeding bull; as this album is a gigantic cry for help. What's that? 'Ritual Of Blood'? More like ritual of despair.

AEONS OF ASHES

Coming out of the underground with guns blazing, Austria's Aeons Of Ashes don't need a second invitation to drop a debut album capable of securing them festival slots in 2015. 'Shutdown' broods in the Melodic Death Metal sound and boy is it loaded with tons of attitude, energy and sexual evocation. Laden with ferocity and smoking with burning ashes, the five-piece have served up a release that is sure to gain much-warranted attention across the Alpine states let alone further afield. Now if this album was to befit a movie scene, it would have to be Frodo's majestic venture into Mordor and why? Well it's dark, it's mysterious and whilst at present it can be considered a product delivered by an underdog band, that underdog band is destined to leave a lasting legacy in the Austrian Metal scene, need we say more?

'Hadal'
Catalonia has well and truly been shaken up by Stained Blood's apocalyptic sophomore album 'Hadal', with enough enraged fury coursing through all musical departments, this is definitely an early contender for Spanish Metal album of the year. Weaving together a chaotic mix of Melodic Death Metal and Deathcore, the quintet have delivered an album that is as turbulent as their past, with this album featuring the same line-up as their debut album "One Last Warning", but a different line-up compared to their first demo in 2006. Why these guys are not signed is a question that must be addressed, they have enough firepower to give the titans of Deathcore like Whitechapel something to think about; albeit the inevitable headache. 'Hadal' is a testament to everything brutal, even your last demonic hangover.

It's hard to think of a number of Austrian Metal bands who have been going for a long time albeit Abigor, Darkwell and Visions of Atlantis, but for bands like Odium who have been going the same amount of time and yet in 2014 dropped their seventh album, things cannot be sweeter for the quintet. 'The Science Of Dying' is a Melodic Thrash Metal opus that without a doubt would appeal to the 80's metal fanatics. Featuring a guest appearance by the original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno on 'Die With Pride', you get the feeling of success flowing through the veins of this unit. Not just because of said musician making an appearance, but because 'The Science Of Dying' is a gem that any metalhead should own. If their was a time for Odium to contemplate releasing a best of compilation, that time is now. This latest offering will keep fans of Classic Metal entertained for hours on end, no mistake made.

WÖLFRIDER
'Wölfrider'
Keeping the tradition of the umlaut-band names alive, Poland's Wölfrider dropped their self-titled debut demo last year with as much satisfaction as winning gold at the Olympics. 'Wölfrider' is a charismatic release, laden with erotic riffs, valiant vocals and emphatic drums. The only downside is the appearing lack of diversity, but that's what you generally expect from demo's, that they often aren't the best of what a band can deliver, but on this strength it would appear Wölfrider know exactly what they must do to garner wider attention. In fact now they are signed, this suggests they have good potential, time for them to muscle up and lay down the blueprints for a classic Polish Heavy Metal resurgence, watch this band with interest.

RAINSHADOW
'Ghosts Of Great Enterprise'
You see the problem with Gothic Metal is there are some bands who lean towards the darker topics of sadness and depression, and whilst that's completely acceptable, sometimes too much can make the release rather dower. Rainshadow's third full length 'Ghosts Of Great Enterprise' falls into that category, now whilst the atmosphere is of the H.I.M guild, the vocals lack 100% presence and instead leaves the drums and guitars to propel the release through and through. So of course those fans who indulge in the darkest emotions of humanity, this would appeal to them completely. But if this is how Rainshadow rolls, then they deserve a record label deal immediately, especially when this strain of Gothic Metal appears to be rare in Australia. Ironically 'Ghosts Of Great Enterprise' is a good solid 45 minutes of solid, darkened, erotically-charged Gothic Metal.

CIRCSENA
'A Dryad Tale'
If The Lord Of The Rings was represented via metal music, then Circsena's debut album 'A Dryad Tale' would claim that honor. With an eccentric mix of Post-Black, Experimental Metal and dashes of folk and pop elements, it's easy to see why such an album ought to perk up the ears of record labels worldwide. Rather uniquely done, 'A Dryad Tale' is a combination of music and storytelling, almost as if Daniel Kirchhoff wanted to redefine the definition of an audiobook. With the unbelievable power this album holds, and this part forming a part of a trilogy, it would seem silly not to unleash the next two albums to finish the story. At best it's experimental nature is top class, but at it's worst it has dabbled in an entertainment field not widely exploited, thus it might not appeal to a number of metalheads. Negative notes aside, Daniel Kirchhoff is a musical genius and this project and subsequent album he has created alongside other musicians who are as equally talented, will pave the way for a new breed of metal music, the dawning of "Story Metal" has begun.

RISING NEMESIS
After being snapped up by Rising Nemesis Records, the consequential action by Swiss Death Metal armada Defaced was to unleash a brutal-yet-improved onslaught of rapid-fire riffs, seismic drumming and uncompromising vocals, the result? 'Forging The Sanctuary'. This quintet's second offering sees a switch on vocal duties and given their debut album was extremely poor [see GMA134], they have tightened their belts and ventured into battle headfirst, emerging victorious. Demonstrating that they have found the right vocalist at the right time as 'Forging The Sanctuary' is a merciless 50-minute face-punching album (you have been warned). Defaced are set to become the ideal replacement for one of the Death Metal old guard, through their ballistic mix of barraging sound, atomic atmospherics and a renewed sense of making a name for themselves, this is the time for Swiss Death Metal to stand up, be counted and be led on valiantly by Defaced's latest offering.

It's a rather majestic release that ought to keep many listeners entertained as it stick's it's neck out at 71 minutes long, with no track sounding similar to it's predecessor or successor, each track is 100% unique in structure, composition and atmosphere. Celebrating 12 years activity, why Anthropia are not already signed is a question that needs answering as 'Non-Euclidean Spaces' has all of the hallmarks of a record deal opportunity written all over it.

What with 'Alpha' being the blazing album that it was, it was going to be tough to see how French Folk Metal sextet Nightcreepers could up their game. But they've succeeded and the result is a sensational offering in the form of 'Hreidd'. Utilizing much of the unforgiving brutality the band has exercised on previous releases, 'Hreidd' storms out of the barn with a trail of blisteringly-hot fire left behind it. What makes this release a powerful slap-in-the-face album is the brilliance in mixing Folk Metal with Extreme Metal elements, whilst avoiding being pigeon-holed in the Black / Folk Metal category. In fact 'Hreidd' has the attitude and firepower to ignite widespread interest for the band, if this does not deliver them a record label deal within the next year or so, then there is something seriously wrong with the..... labels. 'Hreidd' is set to win Nightcreepers a flurry of new fans worldwide.

That's just as misplaced as Skiltron from Argentina singing and playing Scottish Folk Metal. However their debut album 'The Tale As Far' really sets the par high for other Tunisian Metal bands albeit Myrath who have already cemented their place in the international arena. By lacing together melodic folkloric elements with the harshness of Black Metal, what Ymygar have delivered here is a rather unique culture clash of-a-release, one that ought to garner some attention from the North African metal scenes at the very least. Featuring Tuoksu (Arij Arbi ) as the guest soprano, her vocals add the missing dimension to the album and thus poise it perfectly as Tunisia's next successful album export.

'Liberation' is a 41 minute assault of purely aggressive, insanely catchy and completely arousing numbers that will get your tits hard and cocks up in the air as if sex went out of fashion. With vocals that are so piercingly loud, riffs so savage they rip into your soul and drumming so full of fury, you would be hard to find any other Australian Metal band that can rival the Modern Metal machinists known as Archaize. This is the new sound of metal and it's coming to whip your sorry arse.

Their debut album comes hot off the heels from their second EP 'Red Devil' and with it comes a valiant neck-breaking storm of fast and furious Thrash Metal mixed with the funkiness and elegance of Groove Metal. Through a culmination of gnarly vocals, barbaric riffs and unruly drumming, Alkira's 'Juggernaut' has more balls than those two dudes on the Fosters TV adverts, in fact Alkira are not your average Australian Metal band either. They will go places if they keep this momentum going, the salient point is that 'Juggernaut' is without a doubt hotter than a typical Aussie BBQ on the beach and has tons more glamor than Kylie Minogue, however it does have the sexiness of her though...

Very few bands from Central Europe deliver a sparkling demo and then top that by delivering a debut album that turns heads from further afield. Zaria, a six-piece Folk Metal unit from Slovenia certainly have struck the right chord in delivering their debut album 'Po Poti Življenja'. Aligned alongside fellow countrymen Brezno, it seems that we could have 2 bands simultaneously leading the Slovenian Metal scene. As for Zaria, the one thing holding them back is the lack of English, ironically if they ditched the Slovene language, then the music would lose it's cultural identity as true sounds of Slovenia. With infectious melodies and harmonious elements flowing freely throughout. Zaria's 'Po Poti Življenja' is a must-have album for avid Folk Metal fans, you'd be silly not to, as it expresses the beauty of traditional folkloric tales and the gracefulness of soft, melodic folk music.

Simple, the title is taken from the H.P. Lovecraft novel, moreover with this EP the Belgian trio hurl a barrage of gnarly, face-punching sounds that certainly would appeal to fans of neck-breaking Thrash Metal. With some rather dashing tremolo's creating a wall of sound alongside unrelenting drumming and vocals so vile, you'd have to wear a face mask to avoid being spat upon with cyanide; it is that corrosive. The EP is all good and proper but it does take time to kick in, so some impatient "Thrasheads" may switch off, but for those who wait, the rewards are certainly worth it. Hammerhead are a band to watch in 2015 because with this 2014 EP, they are rather promising.

If there is one band that has never shied away from reinventing themselves or challenging the conventions of their own music, it's Retrace My Fragments. Their debut album 'Ethereal Flux' takes on board 101% originality; something that lacks in a vast swathe of modern Death Metal bands, lashing together an awe-inspiring science fiction story (split into chapters) conceived by vocalist Antonio Martija and bringing it to life through a dramatic-yet-theatrical production of brutal vocals, eerie riffs, apocalyptic drumming and an atmosphere so expansive, it makes a black-hole claustrophobic. 'Ethereal Flux' is the finest release by this Luxembourg quintet and should garner some international attention, why these guys are not signed is astounding, however with this album the labels cannot ignore them much longer. Retrace My Fragments are flying the flag for the Luxembourg Metal scene.

Gotland from Italy plays an exclusive mix of Italian Folk Metal with Pagan Black Metal, marking their debut is Italian Folk Metallers Gotland with their premier effort 'Gloria Et Morte' (Latin for 'Glory and Death'). Whilst the album may lead some fans under false pretenses, that is, the style of Folk Metal is not what you would expect; there are melodic metal elements running here and there throughout, especially in the vocal and melody departments, the overall perception of the album is that it strikes fear hard. If you like, 'Gloria Et Morte' captures the very essence of the power and darkness experienced during the empirical battles, dramatizing the ferociousness of the Roman Empire in its wake, now whilst Caesar may not approve, it certainly would have appealed to Caligula for it's level of monstrosity and darkness.

'Utopian Void' is a glistening hour of pure ballsy metal with twelve tracks of grit to keep you going, granted whilst it is nothing new and is certainly not groundbreaking, it offers another slice in this sensational crossbred music genre. 'Utopian Void' delivers that almost unmistakable sound of classic metal, you know with the bellowing vocals in the Iron Maiden-esque style and music so rocking, so metal, you have no choice but to let your hair down and go completely insane! Where the quintet go on from here is one question, whether 'Utopian Void' will be beaten by a better Distant Past album is another, but for now it stands as a decent album on it's own accord.

Whilst most Thrash Metal bands sing about politics, death and the cliche topics, P.T.O.M.A on the other hand cover every lads dreams... tits and fun. It's funny really because for most metalheads, metal, beer and boobs are all the rage, and yet this Greek outfit certainly jab in an element of humor, especially with track titles like 'die with titties in your face' making '50 Shades Of Grey' all of a sudden appear to be a children's bedtime story.

HIVERNA
'II. Macabre'
Quebec has a very good track record regarding Black and Folk Metal bands, so when one of it's 2004 graduates Hiverna, released their second album 'II. Macabre' this year, expectations were sure to run high and sure enough, they have delivered. Now surely the theme here is that the albums form some sort of series, especially when there are Roman numerals present, but ignoring that ideology for a second and focusing on 'II. Macabre' itself. The album delivers the elements you would expect from such a band, the galloping yet ferocious drums set the pace whilst the flute delivers the melodies that the guitars cannot seem to do, in turn the guitars deliver that crisp yet sharp sound that is demanded from a Black Metal purview. What makes 'II. Macabre' such an interesting album does not reside with the French lyrics, but more so it's connection with nature, leaving it much likened to any album by England's Winterfylleth.

PROTOKULT
'No Beer In Heaven'
Anyone know any major Canadian beers? Because you cannot just listen to this release without a beer in your hand. 'This release' so happens to be Protokult's second album 'No Beer In Heaven', an album that exhibits a rather unique mix of Atmospheric Folk Metal with Black Metal elements. So picture this, the melodic beauty of Nightwish crashing against the blackened brutality of Windir and being entwined with the elegant happiness of Arkona, well you get the picture. Laden with angelic soprano-like female vocals alongside gnarly and clean male vocals, 'No Beer In Heaven' is a truly dynamic masterpiece, and that's just the vocals. Coupled with an emphatic array of riffs designed to melt your heart apart and drumming so juicy, it bleeds hops and fermenting grapes as to create an aromatic flavorsome production of Canadian Folk Metal, such an eclectic mix of elements will surely garner a lot of attention from around the world.

'Odimorsus'
Returning with album number two is Australia's Fragmenta, of whose Thrash Metal effort 'Odimorsus' initially has a promising outlook on it, but when you realise how high you have to turn the speakers up to hear anything, positive anticipation turned into sour disappointment. Ignoring the production for now, what you have is a decent enough album that carries all the signatures you would expect from a Thrash Metal release, that is gritty vocals, crunchy riffs and bass lines. Topping out at over an hour long with twelve tracks, one of which lasting eight minutes long, is adequate evidence to say that there is something for everyone regarding the album as a whole. 'Odimorsus' may not be the album some die-hard Thrash Metal fans would expect, it is one of those left wide open to interpretation... literally. But the imagination of how this sounds live has a greater feel about it.

LA DAMA OSCURA
'Caminando Sobre El Fuego'
MOLUSCO PROD
Last year Spanish Heavy Metallers La Dama Oscura released their third album 'Caminando Sobre El Fuego' and naturally what comes with it is a bout of sensational songs, all in the Spanish language. In fact this such a great album if you are learning the language, or want to, because you can really connect with Spanish culture through this album (and indeed all of the band's releases); not just lyrically but musically as well. The album itself is very much wedged within the Iron Maiden universe, with the vocals being in the tenor range demonstrated by Bruce Dickinson. As for the rest of the album, it simply is the basic classic Heavy Metal sound you would expect and so thus ought to appeal to a wide range of metal music fans, listen to it and live la vida loca.

WARFIST
'The Devil Lives In Grünberg'
WYDAWNICTWO MUZYCZNE PSYCHO
Poland's love affair for Black Metal and Thrash Metal continues with Warfist's latest offering 'The Devil Lives In Grünberg' (the German name for the Polish town of Zielona Góra) - the trio from
Zielona Góra (yes you guessed it right) - have rustled up another serving of Black / Thrash Metal, but with a tendency to lean more towards the latter genre. The thing is, it's nothing new and it sits well and truly within the generic sound you would expect, some would even go as far as calling it a shame to abuse their town name like that. The only thing that can be really said about 'The Devil Lives In Grünberg' is that it is a decent release, that is all. For a band celebrating ten years, you'd have thought there would have been a greater presence on the album, in a contradiction-context however it is there, just not all the time. Make of it what you will, it just simply does not completely impress.

BODY HARVEST
'Futile Creation'
GRINDHOUSE MUSIC
Murderous and cranial crushing comes to mind when devouring Body Harvest's debut apocalyptic album 'Futile Creation', from the word go this release will have you begging for mummy more than you did when you were a baby. 'Futile Creation' draws in elements from the Grindcore and Brutal Death Metal sub-genre's and thus combined together produces a musical onslaught of blood-splattered riffs, gut-rotten vocals and seismic drumming, all of which provides itself as a perfect soundtrack to any Saw movie. Funnily enough in recent times, Bristol has become a hotbed for some of the grizzliest bands ever to have emerged in the Death Metal and Thrash Metal styles, so with Body Harvest now a firm family member of the Bristolian metal clan, we can expect a lot more from these guys in times ahead.

SINISFEAR
'Reigning Death'
Drilling their flag of Death Metal in to the Canadian soil is Sinisfear with their premier EP 'Reigning Death', a colossal slamming of subterfuge in 25 minutes. We say subterfuge, because it is more like Deathgrind than actual Death Metal, but even so it is a rather interesting release to say the least. With squealing guitars forming a glut of whine on 'Wretched Stench' and guttural vocals imminent on every single song, this is an EP of all sorts. The downside is that at times it seems as if the music is going nowhere and has too much going on in such a short space of time, leaving the EP in the corner feeling sorry for itself. That does not mean to say it is trash, just that it lacks that punchline to label it a release of promising things yet to come, Sinisfear need to rethink their next offering otherwise it might as well be game over.

Summer: Testing Influences and Mechanisms for Europe (SummerTIME)
Lead Research Organisation: University of Oxford
Department Name: Oxford Physics
The recent string of wet UK summers had considerable impact on society via effects such as flooding. The summer of 2013 then bucked the trend, with unusually warm and dry conditions prevailing. The proximate causes of these unusual seasons were shifts of the Atlantic jet and storm track, which steers the path of individual storms. But are there deeper underlying causes: remote or 'external' drivers that can have an influence on the jet stream? If so, can we use these drivers to improve our forecasts of these high-impact events from months to years ahead? These are the questions that will be addressed by the SummerTIME proposal.
Summertime shifts of the jet stream appear to be related to Atlantic Ocean temperatures, both on seasonal and decadal timescales. Other potential drivers include sea ice variations, anthropogenic aerosol emissions and tropical circulation patterns. However, climate models in general have difficulty in reproducing these observed relationships, and operational seasonal forecast systems have little skill in predicting jet shifts. The primary aim of SummerTIME is to advance the science of seasonal to decadal prediction of summertime atmospheric circulation over the North Atlantic-European region.
The meteorology of summertime circulation has historically been much less studied than its wintertime counterpart, and much remains to be understood of its fundamental nature. A secondary aim of SummerTIME is to improve our understanding of the fundamentals of summer circulation, for example why the storm track splits into two distinct paths just west of the British Isles. This will be investigated using the latest observational datasets and a hierarchy of numerical models of different complexities.
A series of sensitivity experiments will be performed centred around a new version of the Met Office climate model coupled to a very detailed model of the ocean surface layer. These experiments will be designed to test the roles of possible drivers such as ocean currents, sea ice and aerosol forcing.
Finally, the project will analyse a wide range of state of the art forecast systems, particularly from the Met Office but also from other forecasting centres around the world. The aim is to identify missing or poorly represented processes in the forecast systems and investigate how these may be improved. The SummerTIME team will work closely with scientists from the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting, to ensure that the results are successfully pulled through to aid the development of operational forecast systems.

The key beneficiaries of SummerTIME are the UK Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). They will benefit directly from recommendations given by SummerTIME on how to improve their seasonal prediction systems for European summer. By working with both of their operational and development systems we will be able to provide tailored advice for each system.
Direct interaction with, and pull-through by, these key end-users is guaranteed through the depth of collaboration including: 1) project input from jointly-employed staff; 2) the letters of support from parallel projects funded, inter alia, under the EC's 7th framework programme; 3) sub-contracting components of the proposed programme directly from end-users; 4) regularly scheduled collaborative meetings and 5) support from the Met Office Academic Partnership. All these strands will ensure direct operational impact of results by permitting end users to shape the research during the lifetime of the project.
Improved predictive skill for summer climate will have subsequent economic impacts for both government and businesses, who will be better able to prepare for extreme weather and climate conditions. The project team have particularly strong links with the insurance industry, through the Willis and Lighthill networks, which will be invaluable in engaging end-users. In addition, our involvement in the NERC Probability, Uncertainty and Risk in the Environment (PURE) knowledge exchange network will aid in the communication of the important uncertainties surrounding seasonal prediction.
Finally we are keen to expand our existing engagement with wider interest groups such as policy makers, environmental charities, pressure groups, NGOs, student-bodies, and the wider public. This will be achieved through a variety of mechanisms including popular science articles, web content and schools outreach, orchestrated through the Oxford Climate Research Network and the Walker Institute at Reading.

Impact Summary
Policy Influence
Description Seasonal forecasts for European winter now show reasonable levels of skill, but summer forecasts remain a challenge. We have identified a new pathway by which El Nino events can affect the Atlantic/European region in summer. We have also identified problems with one seasonal forecasting system which prevent it from capturing this signal.
Exploitation Route We are continuing this work with the Met Office to see how this mechanism can be improved in their seasonal forecasting system.
Sectors Agriculture, Food and Drink,Environment,Government, Democracy and Justice,Transport
Description Our work has supported the Met Office in developing their summer seasonal forecasts. Working together with Met Office scientists we have shown that there is useful skill in their system for predicting European summer rainfall from May. Understanding the physical mechanisms giving the skill is important so they know whether this is a forecast signal that can be trusted.

High Altitude Ornamental Grasses
High altitude grasses tend to be low-growing due to air pressure.
1 Tall Landscape Grasses
2 Perennial Decorative Grasses
3 Grasses for a Landscape
4 Jumbo Grasses
Ornamental grasses serve many purposes in the garden. Grasses are low-maintenance options for landscaping, and ornamental varieties are an attractive choice for ground cover or soil stabilization. High altitude climates that are at least 6,000 feet above sea level present particular growing challenges for grasses, including low air pressure, drier soil and cooler temperatures, but several adapted and native ornamental grasses are well-suited for the specific conditioners of higher altitudes.
Fescue grasses have a reputation for being particularly hardy in challenging conditions, and several ornamental varieties are well-suited for high altitude gardens and landscapes. Blue fescue grasses, like "Elijah," "Sea Urchin" and "Boulder" offer distinctive icy-blue coloring and dense, feathery blades ideal for ground clumping or border planting. High altitude hardy fescues can reach heights up 12 inches and often have a spread of equal width. Like many high altitude plants, fescue has a relatively short blooming season during the peak of summer, but the grass is fast-growing and easy to establish.
Wheat grass, like fescue, has a high tolerance for drought and high altitude conditions. Most varieties of ornamental wheat grass feature long blades or stalks with feathered tops resembling short spikes that are a favored snack for many types of birds and mammals. Crested wheat grass is suitable for elevations up to 7,000 feet, while fairway wheat grass thrives up to 9,000 feet above sea level, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Once wheat grass is established, it requires little to no care and is exceptionally drought tolerant. Wheat grass is particularly useful as a tall ornamental grass, as fairway varieties can grow up to 3 feet tall.
Grama grasses, or Bouteloua, are prairie grasses with delicate, hair-like spikes that make them a romantic option for ornamental grass. One of the most hardy varieties is Blue grama, which remains low-growing, between 6 to 12 inches tall, and boasts an unusual greenish-gray color. Blue grama is routinely found at elevations of 4,000 feet, but is also hardy through elevations up to 10,000 feet above sea level. It is incredibly tolerant of fluctuating temperatures and will survive through cold overnights at high altitudes. Grama grasses are suitable as filler grass for gardens or flower beds.
More commonly called dropseed or sacaton grasses, those in the Sporobolus genus are native prairie grasses that are well-adapted to the short, harsh growing seasons of high altitudes. In the high altitude landscape, these grasses are distinct because they remain fairly high-growing compared to other ornamental grasses. Sporobolus airoides, or Alkali sacaton, is a distinctive ornamental grass with fanning stalks that start low in the plant, creating an impressive spread of feathery flower and seed branches. Alkali sacaton can grow up to 40 inches tall, even in elevations to 8,000 feet. Additional varieties, like Sporobolus cryptandrus, or Sand Dropseed, reach similar heights and provide comparable drought and elevation tolerance.

Off-the-Grid Glass Box House / Mark Aronson Architecture
Architects: Mark Aronson Architecture
Project: Off-the-Grid Glass Box House
Location: Perth Hills, Australia
Photography: Douglas Mark Black
Located on a granite outcrop of the scarp, this small project is a restrained piece of contemporary design, a steel and glass box house. This site (near Darlington on the Perth Darling Range), required careful consideration of the placement of the architectural solution within the natural environment. The brief called for garden room and kitchen extension, plus interior and exterior renovation works that built upon the bones of an existing late 1970’s dwelling on the site.
The original building, largely of masonry (brown brick with concrete floors), offered good thermal mass qualities, but was inward looking and with generally low ceilings. The architectural solution was to extend north into the bush and allow for breakout spaces for outside living to occur either side.
The glass frames a view of the vegetation and rocks beyond, and establishes a relationship between the house and landscape setting that previously did not exist. An external bench seat in cement finish forms the garden edge. The design opens out towards the weather, the owners are at once transported deep into the landscape itself. In the morning and evening surrounded by birdlife with the sounds of insects at dusk.
The intervention quietly lands a modernist box in a foreign (almost alien) landscape. It feels like a long way from anywhere. The lights of the city below are only visible in the distance, still some sense of ‘otherworldy’ is here, particularly at dawn when the sky is cold.
Within this space, a well-designed interior is a sharp contrast to the primality of the landscape outside. This is not a spaceship, but feels like a functional and refined interior HQ. The Interior Cabinetwork design evolved through a close working relationship with Simone Meraldi, an Italian joiner. Plywood edge and grey laminate, reflecting a simple and reduced interior palette. The table was commissioned by local Furniture-maker Nathan Day, the plan had been to provide a new family space where the owners would be able to cook and sit whilst being able to keep an eye on a newborn.
The building integrates natural good ventilation principles, with breezeway louvres flushing out the warm air overnight with cooling easterly breezes and insect screens. Light and shade are balanced between old and new, achieved in an intelligent architectural solution. The project is successful in combining the interior spatiality with exterior rooms and views. These ancillary spaces support an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, where an awareness of the seasons is played out between the landscape and the house. In summer, these are entertainment decks where music and cooking happen. In winter the kitchen space is filled with light, or the rain plays out from the comfort of within.
Fundamentally constructed in timber structure by Hans Donni, a Swiss Builder whose careful attention to detail made this project a reality. The site is in a bushfire zone, but eliminated some of the risks by being built away from the upward slope, so the team succeeded in achieving open glazed areas where otherwise not possible. However, construction access to this site was not easy. Lightweight construction was chosen for practical reasons – avoiding footings in granite, speed and the inherent sustainability of wood. Cement sheet where required was used for protection to the frames. High levels of insulation in walls and glass selection were integrated to achieve optimum performance for the client.

STREAMING NEXT WEEK: HIGHLIGHTS OF LATEST PERFORMANCES TO BE RELEASED BY PERFORMING ARTS STREAMING SERVICE CENNARIUM
By The Honig Company, LLC on November 9, 2017
Key dance performances from Opera National de Paris, Prague National Theatre and Opera of Marseille including Puccini tribute and “Romeo and Juliet” now accessible online
NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2017 – Cennarium, one of the largest streaming services for the performing arts, will release a new slate of performance the week of Nov. 13, 2017; among the highlights:
Genre: dance; theatre company: Compagnie Julien Lestel; venue: Opera of Marseille (France); music: Giacomo Puccini; choreography: Julien Lestel; year: 2014. Trailer: https://www.cennarium.com/show/puccini/
The heroines of the composer Giacomo Puccini were almost always doomed to a tragic fate. This choreography is a tribute to the opera and to the illustrious departed composer. Referring to those familiar tunes, symphonic works illustrate the skill of the exceptional orchestration that Puccini built. Through this ballet for 11 dancers, Julien Lestel has imagined a new choreography around the great heroines from the most famous Puccini operas: “Tosca,” “Manon Lescaut,” “Madame Butterfly” and “La Bohème.”
Genre: dance; theatre company: Prague National Theatre; venue: Prague National Theatre (Czech Republic); music: Sergei Prokofiev; choreography: Petr Zuska; year: 2015. Trailer: https://www.cennarium.com/show/petr-zuska-romeo-juliet/
“Romeo and Juliet” is one of the most frequently performed ballets at the Prague National Theatre. The first one premiered in December 1938, yet this new staging is very different compared to previous productions. Unlike in the original Shakespearean tragedy, this production does not focus on the story of lovers but on the reason for resentment and blood feud between the Montagues and Capulets. This interpretation leaves more room for other and all too often neglected characters.
LA PETITE DANSEUSE DE DEGAS
Genre: dance; theatre company: Opera National de Paris; venue: Opera National de Paris (France); music: Denis Levaillant; choreography: Patrice Bart; year: 2010. Trailer: https://www.cennarium.com/show/la-petite-danseuse-de-degas/
Paris Opera Ballet Master and choreographer Patrice Bart plunges into the opera’s past and brings Degas’ famous statuette to life. From the rehearsal rooms to the Cabaret du Chat Noir, the ballet conjures up a colorful era and the lively backstage world of a theatre.
Other new releases include:
• “Mata Hari”
Dutch National Ballet, Dutch National Opera & Ballet, Netherlands
https://www.cennarium.com/show/mata-hari/
• “Prague Ballet Gala”
l’Opéra Nationale de Prague, Prague State Opera, Czech Republic
https://www.cennarium.com/show/prague-ballet-gala/

Sabine violates restraining order again…in German
Hands up, everyone who knew that in addition to her multitude of English blogs (50+ at last count), Sabine also runs a blog in German. No, we weren’t aware either. At least, not until one of our sharp-eyed readers pointed it out to us.
It’ll come as no surprise, then, to discover that Sabine has posted a blog there titled “Was mir passierte, nachdem ich in London organisierten Kindermissbrauch aufdeckte“. Translation: “What happened to me after I reported organised child abuse in London”.
The blog post is date-stamped 31 July 2016, so there’s no way for her to argue that she wasn’t aware of the restraining order. The post starts with a reference to Sabine’s pre-trial trip to Brussels:
This very interesting conversation was held in March 2016 in Brussels, while the London police were still insisting that I stay in my apartment. Luckily, thanks to the EuroStar, Brussels is a day-trip from London.
The travel ban was one of the conditions imposed on me after I was arrested on 4 August 2015 at the Royal Courts of Justice. A dear former neighbour from Buschower had accompanied me to be a witness to whether my return, after six months’ exile in Spandau, was to take me to jail. The arrest can be viewed here:
What was my ‘crime’?
On behalf of a mother, I had threatened a judge: either give her her children back, or we would turn to the online world.
In November 2014 the Russian mother had contacted me on the basis of my website, because she was looking for help to get her two children returned to her care. The police had removed them, claiming that she and her partner would be a danger to her children, then 8 and 9 years old.
During their summer vacation the children had broken a pact with their English father, who had threatened to kill them if they told the mother what he was doing to them and other children, as head of a cult.
The details the children described about their abuse could not be invented, unless they had actually experienced them. The children also included drawings of the genitalia of their abusers:
However, High Court Judge Pauffley decided in her judgement that it was all fantasies, although medical reports confirmed anal scarring. But the judge said the injuries pointed not to the father, but to the current boyfriend of the mother.
The drawings were also suppressed by the police; the judge, therefore, never saw them.
The mother and I fled at the same time in February 2015 because of two documents issued by the secret family court, which threatened us with jail.
The mother was also visited by a minibus of nine police officers who wanted to pick her up. She escaped through the back door, while a lawyer, through a closed door, insisted on a court order. This conversation was inter alia recorded, and became one of many videos that the children’s supporters produced.
While I was living in my nephew’s apartment in Spandau, Interpol had been alerted and the London police had searched my apartment. An arrest warrant was made, and enacted on 4 August 2015.
This was the first of four arrests, three crimes against me, a six-day-long court process in which I emerged the winner, and other court hearings involving money, not prison.
I’m going to tell more about this to my clients. I have reason to lead the Buschower Birthday culture in Märkische Heide further and visit the Friesenhof with English friends.
The Havelland happens to have become my soul home!
Funnily enough, Sabine seems to have neglected a few facts here, including that pesky restraining order that should have prevented her from writing this post in the first place.
We’re sure the courts will be very interested in this, so we’ve forwarded it along to the police on Sabine’s behalf.

“The blog post is date-stamped 31 July 2015” – 2016 surely?
Bet she’s really cross that this one’s been spotted – especially as she has gone out of her way to make her breach really clear!
LOL…. I bet she’s actually stupid enough to imagine nobody she’s crossed reads German.
Whoa, time warp! Thanks—fixed now.
I bet you’re both right! 🙂
Oh FFS.
Sie ist eine hinterhältige kleine Scheisser
Sabine is really flicking the “V” at the courts.She may as well go the full hog andstart doing guided tours of Hampstead SRA sites on skis for Japanese tourists.
Die Frau ist ein dummkopf!
I think it is more than one person.
Hands Off Hampstead says:
Listen in awe as Angie attempts to rationalise her Rupert’s calls for the residents of Hampstead to be put to death.
How many lies do you think she’ll manage to squeeze into one short answer?
How so? Do you mean more than one person posts on that blog? I think that’s right, but it does belong to Sabine.
Here’s the ‘About Me’ page: https://buschow.online/redaktion/
The 2015 error occurs at beginning of vid here as well. Must be something in the stars 🙂 Cheers HOH
Noooo, lol, more than one person that reads German.
Sabine, as an ex CERN computer programmer I am sure has her own blogs nailed down tight. She’s not unintelligent is she, as I am sure she has explained many a time.
Reason for her arrest maybe?
Nicely done! Angie really sinks her own battleship here.
Ah, this makes sense—sorry I misread. Yes, I think many people read German, at least well enough to see what she’s up to.
As far as I’m aware, the police weren’t aware of this breach until yesterday; however, I could be mistaken.
Always did have her down as a tad schizo.
Thanks, Mik. All fixed now 🙂
Hats off to HOH customer service team 🙂
I’m alerting the FBI.
This man is extremely dangerous and advocating vigilantism and the Yanks know full well this can end in tragedy when those who Rupert Wilson Quaintance attempts to stir into action may become frustrated at who they perceive are not acting correctly – such as police or teachers etc – should be punished as well.
This is so very serious and appears to be an extraordinary Contempt of Court. This woman continues to snub her nose at the courts and mock them.
Not only does she continue to breach 2 very serious court orders and an injunction – the first is not just a civil matter as it involves the family court – but she allowed her barrister to tell a blatant lie to the Criminal Court that his client accepted there was no “satanism” and baby killing & cannibalism in the Hampstead case.
I’m still waiting on a response to my complaint to the Law Society as to whether a barrister deliberately misled the UK Criminal Court in this case (unwittingly & on behalf of his client) but I’m making a further complaint about McNeill’s solicitor who appears to have deliberately frustrated police by assisting Draper and Christie to escape justice.
I doubt I may get a response as these may become matters that entail further court actions but the first thing the Law Society does is contact the complained about party to ask for a response.
Rupert Wilson Quaintance 1V doth protest too much.
He doth, dothn’t he?
Pingback: Sabine violates restraining order again…in German | ShevaBurton. Cross of Change Blog
Yes, I agree—this is another serious breach on Sabine’s part. I’ll be interested to see the outcome of your complaints, Sam.
What’s this about Rupert Wilson Quaintance 1V isn’t his name?
He might go by the name Wilson, but surely it’s the one in his passport that counts?
About these creeps saying they have IP addresses, i have conversed with them on facebook and youtube, can they get my IP from those? if he comes anywhere near my house i shall treat it as what he has boasted it is, a threat of violence. If he is arrested and not deported but jailed, his F a kid in the A statement wont go down too well, he may have to go on the protection wing, especially if someone informs some of the inmates.
No, they can’t get IP addresses from Facebook or YouTube. If you’ve emailed someone or commented on a blog without using a proxy or VPN, then yes, it’s possible to find an IP. It’s possible to use email that keeps your IP private—Hushmail is an example.
I expect that if Rupert were arrested here, he would be deported. No country wants to take on the time and expense involved in prosecuting and then jailing a non-national, if they can just as easily ship the person off home and let them deal with him there.
Yes, I haven’t seen any evidence that he’s using a fake name. His mother seems to think he’s real enough! 🙂
They’ll probably ask him to leave like Christine Ann Sands was, though she did have a return ticket to fly back to the USA. Along with a nice juicy fine too, that he’ll no doubt get his gullible supporters to pay, just like all these con men such as Malcolm Blackman aka Joe Public on fb do.
Rupert not having a return ticket might be problematic for him though so maybe he’ll be remanded in Custody. He’ll get a taste of UK prisons then as he’s wanted to do in the past.
What a complete and utter fool he is.
Btw what on earth is a YOUNG BLOOD COUNTRY BOY as Angela calls him.
I don’t like the sound of the blood, is that some kind of Freudian slip on her part?
She’s making him sound backward at the very least.
Perhaps his performance in the bedroom department is not up to scratch…
I’t a no-brainer, isn’t it. He’s a US citizen openly committing attempted mass-murder. And his public calls to murder innocent people in both the UK and the US are essentially acts of terrorism. The FBI should be very interested.
Mate, the clueless twats have been threatening to trace us through our IP addresses for 18 months. They’re full of shit. Here are some from February 2015:
And to be fair, his dad is Rupert Quaintance III, so it tallies.

Gabriella Barney says:
The ‘genius’ that is Rupert ‘I want to fuck a little kid in the ass’ Quaintance the iV…. “Pip, pip, pip,pi, pip just like a young” tier II sex offender under federal law. – Which Mike Tyson is; a man on the Sex Offender’s register. Rupert isn’t FIGHTING paedophiles – He’s a complete fucking hypocrite! The man IS a paedophile! – that’s why, at THIRTY FUCKING SEVEN YEARS OF AGE he dresses and acts like a child. That’s why he’s blowing all this smoke! – Much of it dirty stinking drugs; it’s more ‘candy for the kiddies’ he wants to attract. – Wanting to anally rape a child is not a subject for humour! It’s no laughing matter. Only a pervert could come out with such a thing….. It’s the lowest form of perversion; and Rupert has clearly stated his wish to indulge in it!
And what of Hampstead….. Two little children, clearly exhibiting signs of having being beaten, parroting filthy fantasises thumped into them by what kind of man exactly? – ANOTHER dirty drug-addict with a long criminal past including violence, drug dealing and a rape allegation. Disney…… No wonder her family has disowned her! She’s yet ANOTHER piece of drug-addicted scum! The evidence of her indulging in illegal substances is all over YouTube and admitted by herself….. She’s a child-beater, a fantasist and from what I can tell, a bloody fraudster……. Seriously….. These people are lowlife scum-of-the-fucking earth. Now they’re openly threatening to disrupt the lives of innocent ordinary respectable people? and they imagine this is somehow ‘OK’ or even justified? This small-town, small-mind, small-brain, ill-bred, freak-of-nature American PERVERT thinks he has something to educate ordinary British people in?
The more I learn of these hoaxes the more obvious it becomes that they’re mainly the product of perverts crying wolf to try and draw the heat away from their own perverted ways.
I’m not worried in the slightest about Rupert’s threats of tracing IP addresses.
What good is someone’s address?
Rupert will do sweet fanny adams.
I don’t live anywhere near Hampstead and if Rupert or any of the mob want to turn up at my door, let them. Morons.
I had an escaped Machete man breaking my side wall, glass topped shed and frightening my Ginger cat a couple of weeks ago and I saw him off.
Police helicopter flying over head, 4 police cars, 1 van (that I could see down the side of the road), more around the corner.
I don’t think Rupert and his ilk will bother with me and if he bothers with any of the people living in Hampstead, assuming he does visit Hampstead and he hasn’t being apprehended beforehand then the Police will have to be called I suppose.
I can’t really see Rupert showing up at anyone’s door, doorstepping.
If he does, he’s got some cheek he intruding into people’s lives when he’s clearly not welcome.
Is he going to bring his girlfriend Angie as his accomplice?
Rupert’s threats of violence are particularly distasteful.
What a vile creep he is at the very least and possibly worse.
Rupert and his “team” are a joke! As are the “legal team” and the “forensics” team.
I don’t believe a word of it.
More damning no nonsence from the MK Devils camp
No – He’s using his real name. Someone up here had someone over there do various searches on him that included having people local to him verify his ‘story’. He’s a well known creep in his hometown and there are hints of his ‘mom and pop’ bailing him out of big trouble on more than one occasion. From what we can tell they’re a generally disliked, generally dishonest family; but they have money and a position within the community which means they’re able to hold people to ransom and maintain a ‘respectable’ (as in respect me or else) facade…. ‘Neds with money’. – Pretty scummy people from what we can glean (IMHO).
I don’t think this Hoax Mob have even met a person who was abused as a child or an abused child.
Abuse victims do not relate tales like these two kids did who are clearly and almost excitedly repeating a script in the expectation that either a reward will follow or perhaps certain actions will stop (waterboarding? clips over the ear from a thug?).
It makes the real abuse from Christie with the passive acceptance of the mother even more sinister in the manner they have abused these children’s joyful innocence.
If I were a member of this hoax mob I would not look forward to the time these kids grow into teenagers & young adults.
As for the mother Draper, all I can think of is how my mother defended all her 4 children with a (Russian heritage) ferocity that belies Draper’s background given how family is so important to East Europeans as often, it’s all they have in life. I cannot think of a mother who would ever abandon her children under any circumstances.
I’ve spoken to Police Officers who actually ARE involved in tracking down online criminals. They tell me it’s a complex process somewhat comparable to old-fashioned line-tracing in the days of mechanical switching. – It’s possible, if they have good reason, for the police to have a particular line ‘monitored’ but even that doesn’t produce straightforward answers. I also have a Brother who works for BT Outreach and have gleaned much of the following from him………..
IP addresses are useful only to people like law enforcement….. At best you’ll get the name of the ISP and a location within about 20 miles of where the user is logged on from. Even an engineer for the firm concerned has to go through another process which identifies THEM to even get as far as the street cabinet….. And from there they need to access other information to tie a particular line to a particular subscriber! A user complaining or suspecting that their line is being traced this way WILL result in the proverbial ton of bricks being dropped on said staff member their team manger etc. etc. etc!
20 years ago when people were on dial-up, or even 12-15 years ago before broadband became virtually standard, there is a slim chance an engineer with access to an exchange could have pulled this off unnoticed, but not now. There are data protection teams that monitor and steward this sort of thing.
Besides which, most ordinary users have dynamic IPs; these change every time their modem is reset and/or randomly by the exchange. To trace an actual user, you’d need to be able to access the ISP’s logs and tie-in a particular IP at a particular time to a particular subscriber; which means the Data Protection Act and at least two different databases kick in. The ISP need a good reason to give that information out. – Something similar is true for those that, for whatever reason, have a fixed IP. – i.e. maybe they run a server from that address and line.
Having done that, you may just get to the building….. If its a shared facility such as a cybercafe or a business centre; are there even any logs as to who was logged in where and when? There must be dozens of users and sub-users in the building I’m logged in from. And I believe the building gets its telephone service via the estate landlord! And – I can work just as well from the same ‘virtual machine’ from across the street or 40 miles away back in Glasgow! – I simply type a particular IP into my browser and log on via remote desktop!
Has Eyelash sacked Angie?
Go you! Fanny, your forename is very apt, as you clearly have hidden depths. These bastards may take our lives, they may take our freedom, but they’ll never take our ginger pussycats!
The result of chaotic empty lives who blame exterior world for interior world disharmony.Their problems and solutions lie far closer to home than they are willing or dare to look.
The haze of self medication adds fuel to this unproductive mal direction as does the mutual feeding and false confirmation of others in the failed bipeds community.
Commonly most decay and self destruct prematurely and proceed towards end of life isolation and basically talking to themselves.
The dangerous aspect for innocents going about their daily lives trying to get safely from A to B is that on occasions the circumstances combine such that an individual acts in the real world to harm or destroy false enemies.
Rupert in particular reveals signs of being a genuine candidate for such violent resolution and those tasked with responsibilty for such matters need to act unequivocally to ensure opportunity is denied.
Oh and make sure her majesties peas are wrongly aligned with carrots just for the sheer hell of it. MUHAHAHAHA
Do we have to bring families into this? I’m an ex Virginia resident and made enquiries too and got a different picture than this one. Besides aren’t we acting like Hoaxtenders when we start involving peoples families? I was disgusted when RD’s mother and grandmother were featured and personally think Rupert’s long suffering parents should be left out of this. His mother may (in our view) be misguided when she supports him, but she obviously doesn’t understand the issues and if she were able to sit down and talk to Hampstead mums she might change her mind quickly when she hears what they’ve been through.
Personally I think Rupert is on track with his unconscious agenda to trash the family name – or maybe he’s too dope adled to know what he’s doing. What I’m getting at though is the fact that it’s hard to get a full picture on the net and from reports of someone who knows someone.
crazy mf says:
How sure are You that this Man is his Dad?
Rupert thinks that Ella went to the police and seems to have no idea that Abe’s brother in law was the one who reported it. Ella then had no choice but to go to the police. They called her in and she had to go. Fact checking Rupert! The first thing you do is read everything and not just the accounts that confirm your biases.
I’m intrigued, Fnord! Where have you heard that?
To be honest, i don’t think Eilish has that kind of clout. It would be up to Mel and Biggy to do the hiring and firing. It wouldn’t surprise me if Eilish has fallen out with her, though. That’s been on the cards since Angie started spouting all that heartless bollocks about Max Spiers and his family literally within hours of his death being announced.
Meanwhile, there is another intriguing tidbit about Angie’s “employment” at CCN which EC and others are looking into, so watch this space!
Well, not this space exactly (that would be silly) but a space somewhere up ^thataway^ 😀
Jimmy Jones says:
Sabine ist so dick wie Scheiße
MKD have made a good point about the crime number. I’ve asked Angie for this on several occasions, to prove she isn’t bullshitting. But answer comes there none. Mainly because she IS bullshitting.
You can report material such as:
articles, images, speeches or videos that promote terrorism or encourage violence
content encouraging people to commit acts of terrorism
websites made by terrorist or extremist organisations
videos of terrorist attacks
https://www.gov.uk/report-terrorism
Crimes committed against someone because of their disability, gender-identity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation are hate crimes and should be reported to the police.
Hate crimes can include:
threatening behaviour
damage to property
inciting others to commit hate crimes
http://report-it.org.uk/your_police_force
That’s such a lovely thumbnail. It’s good to know that Catweazle and Oddjob are still finding work.
Big Earl says:
Yes take your point. Abe’s brother in law is a ‘special constable’ meaning a volunteer. I’ve speculated that they might have gone to him hoping he’d give evidence in family court and they didn’t expect him to go to Scotland Yard. I think he told the Police he thought the children should be taken into ‘care’ for their own safety and seeing as they were with Abe and Ella at the time that speaks volumes. Someone correct me if I got this wrong.
Well said Joe Kerr, spot on
I remember someone posted on this blog Ruperts old Youtube channel and he was totally different from how he presents himself now. He was quite the posh boy sitting down trying to look intellectual while listening to someone playing violin to him. He was still as pathetic as he is now
Rupert @ 8:18 – “That’s all I gotta say about that.”
No it isn’t, Rupert. You haven’t fucking shut up about it since!
I hope Steffi has a sit down and thinks about what Gabriella told her about Angie. Angie certainly isn’t a friend of hers. Angie just used Steffi as entertainment for herself and Rupert, what a cruel twisted thing to do to somebody.
Two more new ones from MKD:
Yes Fnord we do…… VERY much so. Bear in mind we have genuine Journalists and actual Police Officers at hand here. Calls were made and information sought about this worthless little guttersnipe at an early stage….
The difference between the Hampstead residents (including Dearman) and the Quaintances, is that they are completely innocent people who did absolutely nothing to precipitate any of this…. Let’s also not forget that the people whose lives he is threatening to wreck and the children whose minds he is about to forever-sully with his perverted filth are families too….. And unlike him and his, they really-are complete innocents.
This is a hoax perpetrated by a pervert and drug dealer. It’s already wrecked lives and harmed innocent children. And now this sub-human pervert manchild is issuing to do further harm? Lest we forget that one of Rupert’s Key defenders is his God-damned psycho-bitch of a Mother! That woman is every bit as bad as her son and has proven herself so – she’s actually threatened to turn firearms on people; and by any sane measure that could only be the rhetoric of a psychopath…. And PULEEZEEE don’t make the ‘different culture’ excuse. The apple, quite obviously, didn’t fall far from a very rotten tree here!
Long suffering parents my arse; they’re the source of the problem!!
The notion that this is some ‘little misunderstanding’ or ‘difference of opinion’ that can be settled with a discussion is insane! If Rupert’s Mother had a decent and/or honest bone in her body, she’d firstly admit to herself what an utter disgrace and failure of parenting her offspring is. THIRTY SEVEN YEARS OF AGE – acting like a slow-witted (I’m reluctant to use the word ‘retarded’ but maybe it’s better-understandable in American parlance) teenager….. Irrefutably a drug-abuser….. Threatening to desecrate churches, invade schools, disrupt the lives of innocent law-abiding people…
She’s defending him; and encouraging him to live the life of a scrounging drug-addicted con artist. That’s not “misguided” – she’s quite obviously as stupid and evil as he is!
Likewise – Rupert ‘fannybaws’ Quaintance IV is his Father’s Son; if the Quaintances are such ‘nice’ people then THEY need to reign their ill-bred stray dog in. He’s THEIR responsibility and the product of THEIR up upbringing. They’ve produced a manchild? Rupert hasn’t grown up? Aww shame! Then they’ve failed to date and need to exercise the discipline they should have done when he was an actual child; that or they disown him….
Instead the Quaintance family are actively supporting this filthy beast, which makes them very-much part of the problem…. BIG contrast there between them and the Dearmans.
The picture we have here – and at some point somebody might just choose to run with the evidence – is of a dysfunctional family that thinks it can use its money to buy and/or bully their way out of trouble. Their ‘good reputation’? Bought and paid for, not earned. And as fragile as a two-bob china dog! – That’s WHY their middle-aged failure of a drug addicted son is the way he is.
No. Sorry. the Quaintances aren’t the ‘nice respectable people’ they might like to be portrayed as; they’ve had this moron running loose for nigh-on forty years; he’s a middle-aged man. And they’re actively defending the indefensible….. Part of the problem.
We are being spoilt by Hands Off Hampstead and McKenzies Devils.
We’ve seen that too AF. That was when he was trying to ‘bludge’ his way through life off the family connections. He got as far as getting a clerk’s job at a Hotel where he remained ’till quite recently. But basically he’s been a waster and non-achiever all his life.
What happened Rupert?
His family were traced and public records accessed….. If you have some evidence that this isn’t the ‘real’ Rupert Quaintance IV then please present it. Otherwise, I’m afraid he ties in with birth and employment records and is ‘known’ in the area he claims to come from.
They’re all hooked up on Farcebook.
Fnord, no one’s involved families. Rupert’s mum and dad were only mentioned above in response to the question about whether Rupert was using his real name and nothing derogatory was said.
Meanwhile, Rupert’s mother has involved herself by trolling various Hoaxtead Research associates on Farcebook, making several anti-British comments, applauding and encouraging her son’s disgraceful antics and threatening to shoot Gabriella Barney, so forgive me if I’m not oozing with sympathy for her.
I’m confused – in his radio show on Saturday, Rupert claimed never to have had a paid job in his life.
Nice find, AP.
So Rupert was already on the fiddle long before he met Angie, then.
No HOH…. Someone else has the detail, but he worked for some years in a kind of ‘low rate’ hotel as a bookings clerk. – I think there was also some trace of him working in a music shop; drum store to be precise….. Possibly in Florida IIRC? But much of his life has been spent as a bum basically; and that’s been indulged by his parents.
Lmao, this is the guy who brags about how tough he is. He ain’t fooling anybody with his trash talk.
What’s this video? Threats of violins as opposed to threats of violence.
Here’s the little bum proving he can’t play drums….
Rupert-the-stick fell(ate)s a tree.
I always thought he was bit of a beaver
Hahaha, nice one, AF!
“Violins, not violence” could become a great peace-rallying slogan along the lines of “Make love, not war”…
I wonder if Angie’s let him pluck her G-string yet.
Poor old Rupert – stumped again.
The, brainless drug-addled twat is still trying to talk tough to cover up the fact that he’s just a spoilt GILF-shagging pussy:
HOH I think he said he hadn’t had a salaried job in his life.
He probably got paid weekly.
Jesus Christ what a cretin the is Quaintance is. Did his “research”?. The mother went to the police. Not true. And “Jimmy Seville in Hempstead”? Anyone know who this Jimmy Seville is? What a fuckwit.
Keep the pressure up on this goon as he is clearly rattled.
Get used to those handcuffs, Neelu! With all these restraining order breaches, you should be wearing them again soon.
And isn’t it good to see that Angie has her finger on the pulse of current affairs, as always:
Good to know that pretend journalism degree hasn’t gone to waste 😀
So Rupert Bear is in reality a nerd (apologies to all reasonable nerds) and Macho Kung Fu Panda Rupert is a recent invention. Explains a lot.
Quaintance’s desperate repressions of his inner fears have now surfaced.
Who is more desperate- Rupert or Angie ?..pass the sick bag Alice..please don’t answer that.
And did Macho Rupert find her G-Spot?.
Oh stop it, now you are just being wicked.
Thanks for the info’, JK.
And oh my God, that drumming is appalling! 😮
It must be something in the water in that neck of the woods (chem trails?).
Poor Steffi thinks the Muslim is coming to take her pig.
When “The Muslims” invade the Ozarks you can be sure the safest beings will be pigs.
But I saw Deliverance and I think the pig’s real enemies may be the locals.
Poor Neelu can’t help herself.
She’s quick old Angie isn’t she? Probably took her this long to get her head straight after getting stoned with Rupert.
Looking at Rupert’s old videos, I prefer the ‘Love Police’ Rupert. Though i’m not sure standing around with a cardboard sign saying “Everything is OK”, in response to a young woman being brutally murdered, is the appropriate response.
Not sure he came across as a young Mike Tyson either.
Interesting. If she and Sabine were such fast friends, you’d think Angie would have known almost immediately. Bears out the info I’ve received lately about a major split amongst the driving forces behind the hoax.
Hmmm, that comment is just ‘Greek’ to me! I can’t see whether him being Gay or Straight makes any difference….. He’s certainly not ‘normal’ in that he parades about dressed and acting like a slow-witted teenage boy. And I for one am of the opinion that’s part of a ‘Pied Piper’ act. I’m aware of another American Paedophile who behaved similarly (still does I think). – I can’t see who his demeanour would be attractive to except a child. He definitely seems inadequate in that he would be repellent to any normally-adjusted adult. – But his sexual orientation is nothing to do with anything.
For the record: The above is a response to a homophobic comment that has now disappeared.
Yes, I removed the original comment as I didn’t feel it’s appropriate.
It certainly wasn’t. I sense an agenda to either lead us up a garden path or get a ‘rise’ out of people that Rupert would then manipulate….. Ain’t gonna happen Rupey.
Joe your sense of agenda are figment of poor imagination. calling me homophobic is stupid and irresponsible because i was questioning the gender of Rupert and NOT attacking homosexuals.
.And there are questions that rises about various comments appearing in this blog
Madness continues on Neelu’s FB page with court transcripts:
“Judge Worsley: Who is Lotus princess?
Ruth Munro: My client ” lol
and on this website :
http://comedycourt.webs.com/millenium-trial
I do not believe the material was obtained legally but rather by someone recording in the court. I believe Neelu Berry should be asked how she obtained this transcript as she has been agitating for $10K plus for the court transcript. It’s just not logical that she could have raised the money in this time.
More contempt of court?
My sources advize efforts were made to channel young Ruperts erratic behaviour during his formative years but his parents couldnt cope with his masturbation at dinner parties and eventually decided to release him into the wild.Here is some rare footage from the Quaintance family archive before it all went wrong.
Reminds me of Jason Manford’s ‘Walk on the Wild Side’ series, which I absolutely love.
You say that comment was “Greek to me”, JK. Where’s Yannis when we need him?
Yannis Emmanouilidis says:
Εδώ είμαι. τι θέλετε πείτε μου.
This has been covered before, Sam – it’s not a transcript but a write-up of Neelu’s handwritten notes taken at the time.
Here I am . Who called me? lol
OMG, one of Steffi’s monkeys has escaped! Call the rozzers!
Hahaha, that was way too quick, Yan. People will think you’re me now, lol.
Mind you, the hoaxers have often alleged that I’m you anyway 😀
Lets admit It you is me and me is you (hands off hamstead
Also according to few Ricky Dearman is my best Mate comes to my house, we make few movies, together then we go to US on Holiday. So if Ricky reads this Mate you owe me a holiday.
Neelu has said that this material is the result of her dictating her notes into a voice-to-text online programme. I believe she was taking copious notes during the trial, but reading her version here it’s very clear that she was watching the proceedings from the Planet Zog. Possibly another universe, even. It would be funny if it weren’t sad.
It’s not the first time Rupert has caused problems “on air”. I found this on http://nformd.yolasite.com
“Now we will address Rupert Wilson Quaintance IV, Rupert was a host on Nformd for several months, there was a slow downward spiral with Rupert where he began drinking heavily while on air. On Sept. 6th 2010, Rupert had Charlie Veitch on for an interview, Toward the end of the interview Ziggy was able to jump on air and began attacking Charlie about how she had gotten him a lawyer back when he was arrested in Canada and that she was very upset that he disrespected her by finding another lawyer. That evening, Rupert had came on air, very drunk and began attacking several of the NFormd hosts, including myself. That evening we decided it would be best if Rupert take a break from NFormd. Within days he was being aired on “ITS”. More recently we found out that Rupert’s father is actually employed by DISA, a branch of the Department of Defense.”
Oh dear, Rupert… 😀
Looks like it’s not the first time Rupert has caused problems “on air”, I found this online:

I found the above here: http://nformd.yolasite.com/nformd-blog/absolute-fabrication
Whatever quality genetic stock the Quaintance family may proudly consider they have inherited through the ages their latest progeny provides ample evidence that idiotism figures significantly in the mix.
MKDevils latest fare.
As for Sabine, did she really think she could get away with breaching the RO by typing in her native language? haha.. well done to the sharp-eyed reader who found it!
Yes, we love our readers! 🙂
The hoax is dead. Its official.
I meant ‘sacked’ as in no longer friends. It says in the post above that there are people who no longer want anything to do with Angie and that includes Eyelash….t’was news to me.
Rupert playing at being a Rothschild…
Unfortunately none of us know exactly what Sabine was arrested for last week – It might be a separate unrelated matter.
I do hope that the Police and CPS act quickly with regards the post Sabine made on her German blog (as identified by EC at the start of this post)
If you look at the post of Sabine you will see a link to a YouTube video, that ends with a page of links to old posts about the hoax.
The order states:
Sabine’s post is clearly in breach of the restraining order against her last month. As such she faces a possible prison sentence
The page of links in Sabine’s German post
Just in case Sabine now decides to delete the page, its now archived on Wayback Machine.
The videos are also saved and archived…..
Hopefully the Police have done the same
Why do we bother, LOL?
Ooh, we’ll have to arrange a reception committee made up of some of those nice boys and girls in blue. The trolling bitch will probably have her creepy toy boy in tow – two birds, one stone.
I’ve just noticed that Angela has removed her illegal post showing the children’s names and faces and the usual libel. We’ve got these biatches rattled, folks! 😀
Thanks, Jake, Nice find! And you’ll be pleased to know I’ve posted a screenshot of your comment to both Rupert and Angela.
I also found this:
Indeed, Yannis! I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together 😀
What happened to Rupert? He went bald. Massive narcissistic injury.
There are some nice little moments dotted throughout this show (including fumbling, rambling, pregnant pauses, “technical hitches” and embarrassingly loud burps – so professional, Roops!). Rupert is clearly drunk. Or just blindingly incompetent.
Oh and he admits to having taken MDMA.
And there’s a nice little confrontation between Veitch and “Ziggy” at 39 minutes.
Excellent find of the inebriated loopy Roopy.

But what about breakfast? Meet keto freedom!
Leave a Comment / Keto Breakfast, More About Keto / By Vesna
You can have whatever you want for breakfast. Is that a keto thing? A low-carb thing? Sure, why not. When you flip around the way you eat, you can seize that opportunity to reinvent the rules of your game.
You find that certain long-standing traditions stretching back in time as far as the human mind can conceive aren't any such thing. They're just modern marketing. A few posts back, I shared the strange history of orange juice, which became an American breakfast staple as a result of Floridian determination that went into overdrive when the Great Depression ravaged the state.
Orange juice isn't the only sweet item that's new on the American table. Falling sugar prices and the invention of T.V. advertising brought us the sugary breakfast cereal. That, in turn, was just an even worse way to eat highly processed grains. The whole idea of cold cereal shaken out of a box for breakfast dates back scarcely more than a century. As does the notion that breakfast should be a sort of dessert buffet.
Maybe that's why we allow only a tightly circumscribed range of foods at the breakfast table. It's a way we can tell ourselves we've chosen these items specifically to start out the day with. It's not like we're eating cake and cookies first thing in the morning after all. Of course not! Just proper breakfast food, like bagels stuffed with dry fruit and slathered with an approximation of cream cheese — essentially enough gums to hold together some defatted milk powder, fortified with plenty of candy-sweet fruit flavoring.
And somehow we've been conned into believing that's more fitting to get going with than bacon and eggs.
Having all the bacon and eggs you want for breakfast is one of the great pleasures of going low-carb and keto. Give yourself that total freedom, and soon you may realize that you'd like a change of pace, even from that. Sometimes people get stuck here — they feel trapped in a prison of bacon and eggs, bacon and eggs, bacon and eggs, stretching in eternity, so it might seem.
Here's the beauty part: when you realize you haven't been hemmed in. You've been set free. Eat whatever high fat, moderate protein, near-zero carb things you want for breakfast. Whatever makes you enjoy your morning and feel good far into the day.
Hamburger with low-carb bun? Salad? Why not?
One of our favorite breakfasts came to us when we heard Dr. Zorba Paster, the mainstream doctor with a health-focused show on our local public radio station. Years and years ago, we tuned in as he was talking about shrimp.
They're fantastic for you, he said. Super healthy! Eat a lot of them! he said. Then he said — and I remember it so clealy: “Eat shrimp for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Oh! Well, not breakfast, of course!” He and his co-host shared a good laugh. Imagine, they seemed to be thinking, how ridiculous it would be to eat shrimp for breakfast!
We just looked at each other, then headed out to get shrimp for tomorrow's breakfast.
Take that, food rules guy!
When you get a bag of frozen shrimp, try keeping in the fridge instead of the freezer, so it thaws and you can prepare it quickly in the morning. Sautee them in a little butter, olive oil, or coconut oil, just until they turn color from white to delicately rosy. Don't overcook! They get dry and tough in less than an instant.
And pleez, don't buy them precooked. They cook so very quickly, you aren't saving any time. All you're doing is robbing yourself of the pleasure of eating something really good.
So, instead of thinking, “What can I have for breakfast?” try thinking about things you like to eat at any time of day.
Like meatballs with spiralized squash and hearty marinara.
Or a ripe avocado, with a spoon, sprinkled with a little salt or tamari.
Or whatever it is that you enjoy, and that makes you feel good.
Because one of the best low-carb secrets has always been: eat hearty until you feel terrific — especially in the morning. You'll have brain food and body power to sail through the hours with. It's the very best way to stay on track throughout the day.

What makes a massage "bad"? What's your worst massage experience?
Be Pain Freeposted 7 years ago
Massage therapist here. It's an unpleasant truth, but the only thing separating you and the "expert" with their thumbs in your neck are 6 months of school (this is true of most places in the U.S.). Have you ever had a massage go truly awry? Could communication (on your part or on their part) have prevented it from being so bad?
Keep in mind I'm not bagging on massage. I love it, I really do. I'll ask the "best massage" question at some point.

I have never had a bad massage, but I did get a mis-diagnosis once. I was having chronic problems with my big toe, which began when I tried to kick up into a handstand while doing yoga. A massage therapist told me I needed to soak it in hot wax. Much later, another one told me it had most likely been broken. I've never broken a bone before; I can't believe I broke my first one doing yoga!

SSAO substrates exhibiting insulin-like effects in adipocytes as a promising treatment option for metabolic disorders

Background: Benzylamine exerts insulin-like effects in adipocytes (e.g., glucose uptake and antilipolysis) and improves glucose handling in rodents. Results: In murine adipocytes, benzylamine mimics another insulin action: it enhances apelin expression in a manner that is blocked by the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/vascular adhesion protein-1 (SSAO/VAP-1) inhibitor semicarbazide. It is shown that in human adipocytes, benzylamine activates glucose transport, but its effects are not additive to maximal insulin stimulation. Benzylamine effects are hydrogen peroxide dependent. They can be reproduced by novel substrates, but not by benzaldehyde. Conclusion: Owing to the parallelism between the in vitro insulin mimicry and the in vivo improvement of glucose handling elicited by benzylamine in rodents, the SSAO/VAP-1 substrates, with stronger effects on human adipocytes than benzylamine, show promising applications for the treatment of insulin resistance.

Wolf Hitler Under The Microscope
Uncle Wolf
After nearly a century since Adolf Hitler was made chancellor of Germany his role in the events of his times has never been clarified. The victors, as is said, write the histories to their advantage. The victors were the Judaeo-Communists and in their version of history Wolf Hitler is the supreme villain, the scapegoat to bear their own sins into the desert. But does a review of the period from a more objective viewpoint demonstrate this to be true? I think not. I think the perpetrators, the real aggressors, the Judaeo-Communists, project their own villainy unto Hitler and the Nazis.
Hitler operated within the framework postulated by the Jews who were over fifty percent of every national Communist Party, the remainder have to be viewed as their confederates. Let us review what the Jews and Communists did and what they would have done had not Nazi Germany stood between them and the total destruction of civilization.
Contrary to all expectations the Bolshevik Revolution succeeded first in Russia rather than in Germany as was supposed. Having seized the government of Russia in 1917 there was a large question as to whether they could keep it. Resistance to their rule was fierce if futile in the end. Armed resistance continued for at least three years in what the West considered a civil war but which the combatants believed was a continuation of the World War. Indeed, the English, French, Japanese and Americans maintained forces within Russia for those years.
The world justifiably feared a Bolshevik victory, for in fact the Bolsheviks utterly destroyed civilization in Russia returning the country to a state of barbarity. Perhaps the barbarity was of such a quality that it wasn’t a return but a new thing, unseen in the history of the world before. It certainly burst upon European sensibilities in that way.
Lev Trotsky- The Greatest Jew Since Jesus
Europeans watched aghast as all the appurtenances of civilization were stripped away leaving a desolate starving people to exist as they might as Soviet hounds murdered and arrested filling concentration camps with the least of the dissenters and critics.
In addition to Lenin proclaiming the world wide Bolshevik Revolution he created the Communist International sending agents to every country in the world to create discord. Revolutionary attempts were fomented in Germany in several places as in Hungary, Poland and Vienna. At the same time soviets were organized in England, France, the US, everywhere. It truly looked as though the Bolsheviks would triumph worldwide.
Screaming their war cry of expropriate the expropriators, loot the looters, the Bolshevik government stole anything of value from private citizens while looting the public treasury and the churches. They took priceless artefacts and whatever gold they could find. Hitler was a mere piker compared to the Soviets.
Having completely ruined the ample Czarist economic basis in the mad orgy of looting the Bolsheviks learned that without production there was nothing to tax. The revolution found itself penniless except for the expendable wealth accumulated under the Czars. But once that was gone and it went fast when everything including food had to be purchased from outside the country so that the Bolsheviks were reduced to bartering diamonds, jewels, old paintings, furs, the Church icons. Nor did the income go to feeding the people, the leaders had fleets or Rolls Royces, also looted, that had to be maintained.
One good thing about the impoverishment of the people is that there were no other cars on the road to interfere with Lenin’s and Trotsky’s driving pleasure.
As I say, the Europeans viewed this folly aghast as they desperately put down all the revolutionary attempts. They could imagine the purges of tens even hundreds of millions murdered or gathered into concentration camps as slaves to be worked to death.
But, what if the Bolsheviks had succeeded in conquering Europe which they would have done except for one shining knight who arose in Germany, Adolf Hitler. Hitler formed a barrier to keep Soviet armies from overrunning the West but he couldn’t defend against ideological encirclement.
The struggle then is not between countries but between ideologies. How many ideologies were involved? There
Uncle Joe Stalin- Take Away The Mustache And Doesn’t He Look Like The Kid Next Door?
was Communism and its variants, of course, Fascism which incorporates Nazism. Nazism itself was a form of German nationalism not differing from Jewish nationalism. There was the International Money Trust that sought domination through banking and currencies. They today are in the saddle. Most in importance was international Jewry. All these ideologies were competing for world dominion. A common thread among all was the interpenetration of International Jewry.
Some might object to treating Jewry as an independent political entity. Some might call such an inclusion anti-Semitism. Both depictions would be wrong. The Jews do and have always considered themselves an independent, that is, autonomous people merely residing among the gentile nations. They are and always have worked for their own paramount interest over all others. Thus the real effect of their working within the other ideologies is to bend them toward their own objectives. They imagine that when the smoke has cleared they will be atop the heap.
Wolf Hitler discerned this quite clearly and he perceived that if the continuing European Holocaust of the Judaeo-Communists was not stopped the terrifying destruction of European civilization as in Russia would be repeated in Western Europe, thus he courageously interposed Germany between the Soviets and West in an attempt to save Civilization. It is on this basis that many people consider him a religious savior on the order of Jesus the Christ. Whether true or not it was at the sacrifice of his own life and that of the German people that the West was spared the worst of the Bolshevik Revolution although still involved in the European Holocaust caused by the Judaeo-Communists, the war was more than terrifying.
In the absence of Hitler’s heroic leadership let us extrapolate the events in Russia throughout the whole of Europe. Let us suppose as the Jews fantasize that they had succeeded in assassinating Hitler in 1922 and the Communist revolution instead of failing in the West had succeeded. This is kind Ray Bradburyish but this cis-science fiction.
There would have been no US intervention in the twenties so that the US based International Money Trust would have been in a position to nearly seize the European remains. Fascism would have ceased to exist so that in the temporal sense the Communist victory would have been complete.
In terms of ideology it is important to understand the Jewish relationship to Europe. It was, is and remains antagonistic to Europe. One only has to examine Barbara Spectre’s current Paideia Organization to determine that. The antagonism was both to Europe as a civilization and its customs and mores. When one of the leading lights of the Jewish revolution Sigmund Freud writes that then current morality revolted him he means European customs and morality as opposed to those of Judaea. He further says that he intends to eradicate European morality. There is no reason to doubt him or that he was very successful. He was a leading agent of the Jewish revolution although his role has been well concealed.
Sigmund Freud- The Mastermind
The Jewish revolution itself is well explained by the American rabbi Abba Hillel Silver in his book History Of Messianic Speculation In Israel. He writes that after the failure of the messiah Sabbatai Zevi in the Seventeenth Century the elders decided to never rely on a single messiah again but the Jewish people as a whole would work for their own redemption. God was thus melded into the Jewish mentality and Judaism became wholly secular. All this chat about ‘secular’ Jews as opposed to religious Jews is utter nonsense. Trotsky, for instance, was a Jew, period. The years 1913 to 1928 were designated as the time of redemption. These dates would have been remarkably accurate except for the interposition of Wolf Hitler. He was a real spoiler.
While events can never be exactly planned if one is alert one seizes one’s chances. Having begun the World War that nearly destroyed European civilization a remarkable piece of good fortune for the Bolsheviks occurred when the Germans transported them from Switzerland to the Finland Station in 1917 put the Jewish triumph within its reach between 1917 and 1928.
Having murdered their three hundred and some odd year enemy the Czar the Jewish revolution roared back into the West from Russia in the early twenties and could have succeeded except for the fact that German nationalists led by Hitler were capable of seizing the State, although legally and democratically elected, and smashing the Judaeo-Communist conspiracy within Germany. Miraculously foiled as it were the Jewish revolution was able to adapt to circumstances and prosper.
Now, how demonic was Hitler in relation to the society created by Judaeo-Communists after 1917. The Reds, for a convenient inclusive term, developed the notion of mass murder or genocide after seizing power in Russia. They created concentration camps and slave labor well before Hitler became chancellor in 1933. Hitler was merely acting according to the political mores introduced by the Judaeo-Communists.
And so, at great cost to the German people he prevented the realization of the Jewish Thousand Year Reich or Millennium from occurring. Let us suppose for moment he hadn’t and after 1922 the Jews had realized their two age long dream of establishing themselves as the Princes of the Earth. What would have happened in Western Europe?
-II-
The final Jewish goal is denationalization, is sowing confusion by the bastardization of other nations, lowering the racial level of the highest, and dominating this racial stew by exterminating the volkish intelligentsia and replacing it with its own race.
Hitler, quoted by Anthony Cave Brown and
Charles B. MacDonald, On A Field Of Red, p. 282
Hitler was living within history, hence was able to analyze and extrapolate historical trends. He dealt in realities and not inner wishful thinking. Therefore the Jews and allies have portrayed him as stupid and demented. Judging from current realities in Europe and North America Hitler’s quoted analysis above is beyond prescience. Those with less acumen find the above quote ‘nutty.’ I have to confess that I wouldn’t have understood what he was talking about a few years ago. It now appears Wolf understood the Semitic mind perfectly.
There can be no other purpose in flooding Europe and the US with racial ideological peoples who have nothing in common with the West except perhaps a nebulous and inconsequential ‘humanity.’
Understanding, then, Jewish goals Hitler moved to abort them. In this he was temporarily successful. Having now recovered the Jews have once again moved to the offensive. They now disclaim any affiliation with what they call Whites proclaiming in their recently formulated mantra: I’m not White, I’m Jewish.
But, what if Germany had not interposed its body and the Jewish led Bolshevik assault on Europe had succeeded? The riches of two thousand years of European civilization would have been at the feet of assembled Judaea.
The accumulated wealth of Russia had seemed vast but it was as nothing compared to the rest of Europe which was a real Aladdin’s cave. As in Russia the Jews would have destroyed the economic structure that created wealth. Once they had done so the Communists belatedly realizing that they had destroyed the productivity of the country and the need for money to rebuild it did the only thing they could do, they turned to West and said: Come. Make us whole.
While after the conquest of Central and Western Europe that economy would have been destroyed, the waste land would have stretched from the British Isles to the Pacific shore. Of course there was still the simple minded United States although in the twenties not yet under Judaeo-Communist control. Normalcy ruled there. Still both American and Jewish bankers in the US actually were eager to invest in destroyed Russia and they would have been just as eager in destroyed Europe.
The Jews, then, would have occupied the castles, villas and stately houses amassing estates, jewelry, tens of thousands of fine paintings, the big automobiles as was done in Russia. Huge amounts of Russian jewelry, paintings and artefacts had been delivered to Vienna for the delectation of wealthy Jews. How many of those stolen paintings were later appropriated by the Nazis isn’t clear. But none were returned to their former Russian owners.
And as was done in Russia to the Russian Orthodox Church the Jewel of the West the Roman Catholic Church would have been vandalized to the great satisfaction of the Jews, gratifying their hatred for Christianity to the point of satiety. For two thousand years the Catholic Church had contained the Jews defining their place in the European polity.
When the French Revolution mistakenly dissolved the restraints releasing the Jews as an army of asymmetrical warriors the misguided but benevolent Europeans were doomed. In their ridiculous altruism they didn’t even know a war was going on except for the besmirched ‘anti-Semites’ such as Wolf Hitler.
The Europeans fancied that the Jews accepted and were playing by the rules Europeans had devised. They weren’t, that’s the essence of asymmetrical war. Hey, they were playing by a different set of rules dissembling the Europeans. Thus, after the Bolshevik assault the Europeans failed to recognize that the Bolsheviks were essentially operating under Jewish rules so they failed to adapt their rules to fit the ‘new paradigm’, that setting the new rules for how the game was played.
As Darwin pointed out, in evolutionary terms when one species fails to adapt to new circumstances it is doomed to extinction. Darwin uses as an example the invasion of the small Asian cockroach into Russia that drove the larger but less aggressive Russian cockroach to extinction. So the Bolsheviks manhandled the Europeans.
The West was presented with no choice but to do what the Judeo-Communists and Nazis did: establish concentration camps and toss the enemies of civilization into them. Yes, the state of affairs had come to that. Adapt or perish.
Thus, had the Bolshevik assault on Europe succeeded in the first rush millions upon tens of millions would have been either murdered outright or sent as slaves to Siberian concentration camps to be worked to death under the most deplorable starvation conditions. To hear the Jews complain that they lost a couple million in their war of conquest merely raises a smile. There are risks in any enterprise.
Was Wolf Hitler the most evil person the world had ever seen? Not hardly. Within the new mores established by the Bolsheviks his response was, shall we say, normal. To say Hitler was demented is to unjustly single him out from even worse in the asylum.
And then there was the Roman Catholic Church, the supreme Jewish bete noire- Christianity. The Vatican the greatest treasure trove in existence. Killing the Czar would be meaningless next to killing the Pope and the whole College of Cardinals. You think it wouldn’t have happened? Look at how the Jews have compelled the simpleton on the Papal throne to crawl before them now. See how they have forced him to endorse the bastardization of Europe by the invasion from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Moslem world. True, the Jews don’t have the manpower to do actual battle with the Europeans but they can import untold millions who can just as in the US the Jews are using the Negroes and immigration to dominate he Aryans. They’re not White, they’re Jews.
-III-
Wolf Hitler did not start the war with the Jews that became WWII. That war officially began in 1933 when the Jews declared war on Hitler. Once again, the Jews had no means of waging war except through the virtual control of Western governments especially the US and USSR. Thus, if the Jews paid the supreme penalty of having lost a few million, if that many were, the fault was none but theirs. No guilt accrues to the Aryans.
If the Jews did lose a few million that was as nothing compared to the tens of millions of dead Europeans and the near utter destruction of Europe and its civilization. Freudian fantasies realized.
There is no need to shed tears for the Jews, we should look to ourselves. We should reexamine the roles played by the Jews, the Bolsheviks and Germans and, I might add, the US itself.
This reevaluation has actually been going on more or less clandestinely for a few decades increasing dramatically recently but so far making no dent on the public consciousness. Jewish propaganda is preponderant.
There can be no question but that Wolf Hitler was a great Aryan hero. If some consider him a god there is reason to do so. Perhaps the Jewish Revolution was a time of heroes. There are those who consider Leon Trotsky to be the greatest Jew since Jesus which is to say a god. Stalin himself wielded power as a god murdering at will and not just one or two people but tens of millions, the whole intelligentsia of Russia, the most productive and intelligent cultivators of the soil, anybody who did not embrace the Red religion. Roosevelt to some was a supreme hero while, I’m sure, a god unto himself.
Wolf’s role was to defeat the Jews and Bolsheviks which at great cost to his people he did. The end result of WWII was that the Bolsheviks were contained as what the Jews considered to be Fascists seized the US and Western Europe dividing the world into ‘Fascist’ and Communist spheres. But, that’s the way Jews and Communists think. There are only two sides, us and them.
Of course the war did not end with Hitler’s death but continues to this day in what appears to be more than a hundred years war. The Jews are waging asymmetrical war, a propaganda war, a psychological war. Having enlisted the Negroes on their US battlefield they direct their antagonism toward ‘Whites’ who they say have no place on Earth. Thus in preparation to protecting themselves from Negro antagonism they are projecting themselves as not White but Jews. ‘I’m not White, I’m Jewish.’ A new propaganda device has been developed in the fanciful belief that by declaring the words of the song that the Negroes will disregard their skin color and lose their hatred of the Jews qua Jews earned because of long Jewish exploitation of them.
As Einstein said that a definition of lunacy was doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, so the Jews are once again creating a disaster for themselves.
Wolf was no more evil than Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin and, If I may so, Roosevelt. Wolf adapted to the mores of his times created by the Jews and Bolsheviks themselves. It is important to remember that they set the tone of the times, all others followed their lead in one way or another.
The other White governments refused to adapt, preferring to follow what were ineffective superseded mores that could only have led to their ruin. In the twenties there would have been no US intervention in the Bolshevik takeover of all Europe and the destruction of its civilization and mores. The Freudian game plan would have been completely successful. The Jewish conquest of Europe and Christianity would have ushered in their so-called Millennium.
Wolf Hitler was a hero. I’m not Jewish, I’m Aryan.

Who Is Andrew Loog Oldham
Andrew In The Day
For those who know this introduction will be superfluous, but for those who don’t know this essay will be an introduction to a man who through his exploitation of the Rolling Stones was an important influence on that memorable Sixties decade. Perhaps moreso than is commonly thought.
Out on the consuming edge of the record industry in those days the name Andrew Loog Oldham seemed to be displayed as prominently on the record covers as The Rolling Stones themselves. In the early days Andrew Loog Oldham might be known before Mick or Keith and certainly the other members of the band. Yet Oldham wasn’t in the band so who was he? And then records were issued bearing the name The Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra. Where did he get that name Loog anyway? And just as suddenly the name Andrew Loog Oldham disappeared but the Stones remained. Who was this guy anyway?
In those days when information could be gathered, if at all, at the proverbial snail’s pace, things have changed today when I can make a few clicks and see Andrew moving and hear him speaking; actually see his fabulous style of dressing as he described it. In addition he has written two thousand pages describing himself more or less in full. Now we can know who Andrew Loog Oldham is and what his relationship to the Rolling Stones was.
Andrew’s, we’ll take a familiar approach throughout, great tragedy is that his fated life opportunity showed up too early. He was only nineteen in 1963 when the opportunity that few ever get a chance to grasp showed up on his front doorstep, so to speak. That was the appearance of the London music group The Rolling Stones. In order to come into his inheritance as he was under twenty-one and couldn’t legally act in his own name, Andrew had to find a surrogate to act in his stead. Chance provided an old reprobate by the name of Eric Easton. Eric was a plodder who had served as an organist at the resort town of Blackpool while representing two or three nondescript acts of which one was the redoubtable Mrs. Miller. While not a household name at the present time Mrs. Miller whose act consisted of being an amusingly terrible singer, had her moment in the spotlight both in England and the US. She did have records released and they did sell no matter how modestly.
Easton was slow on the uptake not realizing the cultural shift that was taking place with the arrival of the Beatles and would have been incapable of managing the Stones without Andrew’s grasp of the changing cultural situation of the Sixties. However he was not too slow to understand money in the bank of which he made off with a fortune or two much to the chagrin of both Andrew and the Rolling Stones.
Andrew’s four volumes are records of his vicissitudes being a young Lancelot reaching for the Grail. Andrew was green, he was. In ordinary times he would have been cleaned and discarded never to be heard of again but these were the Sixties and not normal times. Even in failure the times conspired to make Andrew comfortable by luxury standards, perhaps even rich, but not filthy rich. The marvelous Sixties did that for so many people most of them undeserving. By undeserving I mean takers with nothing to offer.
Well, this isn’t a tale about justice but one of the Sixties in which the whole concept of justice disappeared like the vapor from a nuclear plant. As an extra special gift of the times to Andrew he is today still alive and kicking having passed the seventh decade barrier at 71 years of age. The good didn’t necessarily die young just the unlucky. Andy is lucky.
He can be seen introducing his third book, Stone Free, at his Face Book site for those interested. Always the fashion plate he is a dapper impression of his hero Phil Spector, pointy nose and all. His hair is becomingly combed back on the sides making for a very presentable 71 year old young at heart gentleman. He wears a mint green light jacket and shirt, something of a cross between a butch femme and an effete hommy, but altogether passable. He projects a pleasant aura indicating little brain damage from his very legendary drug use. A look at him shows how Alex, the chief Droog of A Clockwork Orange may have looked as he made the passage from rough youth to a more dignified mature, the word ‘old’ does not apply to one like Andrew, or I might vainly say, myself.
Andrew Finds That Life Has It Hazards
Andrew: Is He Experienced?
I don’t really envy the English kids that came along after my birth year of 1938. The war years were tough enough but then the long years of national poverty after 1945 must have been grating. I can’t imagine a life without candy that the lads and lasses had to endure for nine long years. In my paradise in the US candy bars in those days at a nickel were monstrous. I couldn’t eat a whole one at one sitting. Stuffed at less than a half. Andrew must have known hardship and suffered horribly.
The war babies, mostly from ’42 and ’43 can have no memory of the war but the long ten years of rationed everything gave a cast to their psyches. When the war babies grew up and became rockers they laid out long tables of delicacies and then ignored them letting them go to waste. The pain was forgotten but lived on in the subconscious. Andrew was conceived in ’43 and popped out in ’44. Tragic for Andy, he should have born in ’42 and been 21 in ’63.
His was a special case. In a country in which the majority of men were US soldiers, normality had flown out the door in ’43; his mother not unnaturally took up with one. It was a tough time. Andrew’s father, Andrew Loog, was a soldier from Texas. He had a wife and son back there. As a younger man I applied my moral training to people in Andrew Loog’s situation and condemned them but now hopefully wiser and certainly older I understand. As a soldier in an active war Andrew Loog could die at any time so why not a little happiness? Perhaps he cringed at violating his peacetime morals. In any event as a member of a bomber crew he didn’t even make it across the Channel just after impregnating Andrew’s mother with his future self. Big Andy hoped he’d dodge the bullets but as it didn’t happen at least it resolved what would have been a difficult emotional situation.
Big Andy hadn’t married Little Andy’s mother so that made little Andy the bastard son of a bigamous father. Having been in the orphanage myself being a bastard means nothing to me. But society is unkind to bastards and orphans. Having read all four of Little Andy’s reminiscences more than once it seems clear that his bastardy left its mark on Andy. He had stormy relationship with his mother, perhaps beating her frequently while in his late teens. She said he did but he says he can’t remember doing it while it would have been wholly outside his character, however, he definitely admits booting her out of a moving car while she was pregnant. Those temper tantrums he had!
Possibly Andrew blames his mother for bringing him into the world as a bastard. He shouldn’t, better a bastard than not at all. Now, Andy discusses this from different angles constantly in his memoirs so my purpose here is to try to put his mind at ease.
The war had a devastating effect on social life especially in England which was merely a staging area for US forces in those years. Churchill was merely a stooge of Roosevelt’s. Just as in WWI a million or English men died or were incapacitated meaning that just that many women were condemned to spinsterhood or whatever. Oh, I know that the dyke Gloria Steinem said a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle but Steinem was an unnatural woman. Andrew’s mother wasn’t.
As she gave Andy his father’s full name, that is Andrew Loog, I’m guessing that given the times and circumstances she really loved the guy so she named what surely must have been her darling Andrew, Loog, tacking on her name Oldham. Maybe I’m sentimental, but coming from the orphanage, I find that touching.
Now, Celia Oldham, for that was her name, was a Jewish girl. Andrew Loog I’m guessing from his name was probably of Dutch ancestry. Probably a Protestant but possibly a Sephardic Jew. Andy may know but I don’t.
So, here Celia Oldham is post-war with the little tyke, Andy, and no husband or father for his child. There is a massive shortage of men after the GIs clear out so while Celia is attractive the mating pool is small. Celia did the next best thing and probably with Andy in mind did it well; she became the mistress of a wealthy man while including Andy in the equation. Not only was he wealthy he was a decent man who maintained her and Andy as a second family. No kidding. He kept them in relative style while putting Andy through the public schools. (Public is private in England.)
What more could a single mother with no prospects do? Perhaps Andrew’s schoolmates were typical louts and ragged him continuously for being a bastard. I know that in the orphanage during and after was hell on wheels but that was the hand that was dealt and I had to play it; four deuces, trey high. Could have been worse. I’m not saying my psychology wasn’t affected and as Andy tells it his sure as hell was.
My point is that life being what it is he should be grateful for a loving mother who made the very best of a bad situation.
Lost In The Ozone Without A Parachute
Andrew In Midpassage
As noted Celia Oldham was Jewish and while Andrew says that the religion didn’t play a big part in their lives nevertheless the mother is the culture bearer. The culture she passed on to Andrew must have been Jewish.
Judaism is an identitarian faith. To be Jewish is to separate oneself from the ‘gentiles’, from all others, the rest of mankind. As the US Zionist Samuel Untermyer was to proclaim on nationwide radio in opposition to Hitler’s claim that the Germans were the master race: We, the Jews, are the aristocrats of the earth. In other words, Drop this master race crap because you ain’t it.
Thus in a country nominally English, as Andrew describes his youth it was lived in an entirely Jewish community. As he describes it he associated with no one who wasn’t Jewish. Like the Jewish Bob Dylan he is always surrounded by Jews. As he set out to find his way in life he chose the record business as his métier. I think Andrew wanted to be where it was happening and as his antennae flickered about sensing for that taste of honey he perceived that his future lay in records. The entire music business if not the entertainment business was in the control of his fellow Jews.
Andy took his sense of reality from movies. There are a couple influential films he refers to frequently. One is the American film The Sweet Smell Of Success which however is about two Jews, the one based on the newspaper columnist Walter Winchell and the other his sidekick and the other is the British film Espresso Bongo. Naturally I obtained both movies and have checked them out. Also naturally at this age and distance I do not see them through nineteen year old eyes.
In Sweet Smell Andrew concentrates on the character Sidney Falco played by Tony Curtis. Andy identifies with Falco as a hustler in US terms and a Wide Boy in English terms. Thus Andrew identifies himself as a Wide Boy. Falco was an unsavory character, a stooge of his boss J.J. Hunsecker played by the repulsive Burt Lancaster. Curtis played the role well. One laments Andrew’s fascination with the character.
Espresso Bongo is a pretty decent rock film. It takes place I believe at the actual legendary 2i coffee house in which English rock was centered. The film puts you back in the day. The star is Andy’s all time hero Laurence Harvey who also turns in a stellar role. Harvey has that downtrodden hang dog look that carried David Janssen through the US The Fugitive TV series so well. As I lived in a constant depression until I was forty I knew the look and it suited me well. I identified with both Janssen and Harvey. Harvey was one of my favorite actors too. Depression and Laurence Harvey go together
In Espresso Bongo Harvey plays a role of a hapless manager of a singer who gets away from him much as Andrew himself would let the Stones slip away from him.
All the managers were Jewish and all exploited their ‘boys.’ Perhaps the most famous of these, what the English amusingly call manipulators, was Larry Parnes. As England emerged from rationing in the fifties and the rebuilding of the infrastructure destroyed by the bombing of WWII created a sort of false prosperity those young people who survived the bombing and rationing were coming of age. The war had caused a generational break. Young England began creating an England in their own image. They rejected the pre-war England of their elders. It was a world they never made. Of course neither had their elders.
Parnes sensing the direction began creating an image of recording stars to gratify youthful yearnings, especially of young girls. He found god looking boys giving them great stage names such Georgie Fame, Billy Fury, Tommy Steele, Marty Wilde, Vince Eager and my favorite, Lance Fortune. There can be but little question that he exploited, not to say cheated, his ‘boys.’ Parnes was both Jewish and homosexual, a killer combination that dominated the industry.
For instance this about Vince Eager from the Widipedia entry for Larry Parnes
Vince Eager began to wonder why he had never received any record royalties. ‘You’re not entitled to any.’ Larry Parnes told him. ‘But it says in my contract that I am.’ Eager protested. ‘It also says I have power of attorney over you, and I’ve decided you’re not getting any.’ Parnes replied.
Parnes was of course both Jewish and homosexual. As he had many of these performers on salary he was cleaning up. Of course he had merely plucked them off the streets and set them up designing their acts, teaching them stage presence, choosing repertoires etc., they may have been little more than employees. However they did have ‘contracts’ although as the above quote indicates they were more than one sided making the contractees little more than slaves
The whole record scene was exploitative and homosexual. When London’s leading criminals horned in on the record scene, the Kray brothers, Reg and Ron they were Jewish and homosexual while their older brother Charlie who was straight with no police record managed the business end of the record racket.
As Andrew was coming up through the years this was the situation he perceived. While he couldn’t have broken into the Parnes style star system once the Beatles hit and the emphasis switched to groups an opening appeared. Parnes who had his star system going disdained the group thing leaving that open so that the Beatles manager Brian Epstein slid through the opening developing his group and star roster dislodging Parnes.
The market had expanded exponentially since the fifties when Parnes developed his system. Andrew, then, aquiver with the possibilities had his eye out for the new Beatles. He was told about the group working in Richmond called The Rollin’ Stones. He went, he saw, he signed.
-IV-
As Andrew freely acknowledges by his late teens he was experiencing mental problems so I am merely discussing what he has disclosed. He says he was suffering from manic depression. Probably so, but he must also have blended in a little schizophrenia. The stresses of his childhood were taking possession of his mind. I know whereof I speak. This combined with his disastrous choices of role models that would be joined in 1962 by his reading of Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange issued that year made him something of a phenom. Burgess, there’s another sicko.
A Clockwork Orange Boy, there was a Satanic book if there ever was one. The book took a certain mentality by storm, organized it and gave it expression. Its history is intimately connected with Jagger and Richards.
As influential in its limited sphere as the book was, Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 movie was perhaps the most destructive Satanic movie ever produced. It set the tone for the years that followed. The movie just tore a certain type of mind apart; Alexes by the dozen, nay, hundreds, thousands moved roved out every night after it was shown, snatching girls off the street. Clockwork was seconded by the movie The Collector that appeared about the same time. The book of Clockwork was less powerful but would still influence Andrew and through him Jagger and Richards. The other Stones led separate lives not involved with Mick, Keith and Andrew’s antics.
The Mad Andy Warhol
So Andrew’s brain is in a complete turmoil as he tries to find his way through the maze of life. Influenced by the real Larry Parnes and the fictional Johnny Jackson for a modus operandus he went in search of an act to manage and found his way to The Rolling Stones. Having discovered his mother lode, having a clear vision of what to do he was stymied by being only nineteen in shark infested waters without a cage.
Short of twenty-one he had to team up with a shark. As he was renting an office from an inoffensive appearing shark, Eric Easton, he convinced Eric to essentially through himself represent the Stones. Eric may have been a pretty sincere stodge but he was no fool when it came to his self-interest. He may have been close to a bottom feeder but that didn’t mean he hadn’t learned most of the tricks of the Great Whites. The ins and outs of contracts presented no problems to him while dizzy Andy and the naïve Mick and Keith probably hadn’t considered the existence of contracts. Give them a pen and dotted line under their name and they would sign. But, really, it was never a fair fight.
As Pretty Boy Floyd the Outlaw is alleged by Woody Guthrie to have said: Some will rob you with a six gun; some will use a fountain pen. Oh boy! Those contracts. The advantages are all on the side of the contractors; contractees beware. As Larry Parnes said: I’ve also got your Power Of Attorney and I say you don’t get anything. Revoking a Power Of Attorney is simple but how many amateurs think of it.
But legally contracts don’t really matter unless money is involved. There wouldn’t be a lot of money for a few years but when there was Andrew and the Stones not unsurprisingly got the bum’s rush.
Andrew’s brain was a regular pinwheel especially as in addition to his youth and mental condition he imbibed drugs freely. If your brain’s not already a mess drugs will certainly paint it black.
Even though Andrew chose poor role models he got the drift of what had to be done to make stars of random stones. Very few performers, they only become artists after success, know how to get from point A to point B and beyond. That’s where the manager, if he’s any good, comes in; he recognizes the possibilities of the raw talent and nurses them through the actual birth process. Believe me: this is worth a lot.
It is somewhat like Larry Parnes. He sensed what the teen public wanted and rather than wait for it to come to him, he created it from the rawest material and then took more than the lion’s share or the benefits. But then, he also inadvertently gave his ‘boys’ lives. There were actual careers awaiting them after Parnes had scraped off the cream.
The question then is were the Stones too talented to fail? I don’t think so. Not without Andrew to shape them and point the direction anyway. Andrew couldn’t sing or play but he could turn dross into gold not too much differently than what Larry Parnes had done with his ‘boys.’ The Stones were the evidence.
The key to the Stones’ success was when they learned to write songs. Would they have learned to write songs if Andrew hadn’t literally forced them into it? I would answer with a clear cut negative. The Stones playing nothing but crappy old Chicago blues and would have sank without a trace. In that sense Brian Jones insistence on playing ‘pure’ R&B would have led to dismal failure. But then, maybe that is what Brian wanted.
Let me point out here that in the US all this crappy old blues stuff was unlistened to but by a very small minority. Nor would the stuff ever have gained popularity without the English influence. Even today very few listen to that junk. ‘I woke up this morning, lordy, lordy…’
While Mick, Keith and Brian were boggling their minds concentrating on the ‘music’ Andrew realized that teen age girls (the Parnes influence again) weren’t going to get too enthused about grizzled old Negroes complaining about how their mama wouldn’t drop down. Does anyone think sprightly young teenagers looking for a good time are going to wallow in anybody else’s misery? Not likely.
So Andrew directed his ‘boys’ toward a more pop sound alienating the ever insistent ‘purist’ Brain from Mick and Keith. Bill and Charlie were pretty much just boys in the band.
Thus faced with the overwhelming competition of the Beatles, the lovable Mop Tops, Andrew made the fatal choice of turning Mick and Keith into his criminal Droogs, taking the low road and leaving the high road to the Beatles. Alex in A Clockwork Orange called the members of his gang Droogs. In a sense Andrew tried to make the Stones Andrew and the Droogs.
All very well but as Andrew got a little money his brain went from a pinwheel on a stick to real fireworks where pinwheels shoot flames. His brain was really in a whirl. He was passing out at parties. He became self-absorbed. He became interested in other projects that took his time, setting the Stones more or less adrift. His protégé Mick was no fool while being a quick learner. Why, Mick said to himself after becoming successful should I pay all these dufuses for what I can do myself. He couldn’t of course do it himself but it seemed like it at the time. He slammed the door in Andrew’s face.
Where’s Strength And Wisdom When You Need It?
Andrew: The Story Of His Life
The four years Andrew was with the Stones could have been a couple three or four lifetimes for the changes Andrew was forced through. Success is rightly called the bitch goddess. You’ll never know until you’ve said hello. The time from when he and Eric Easton signed the Stones to the time Andrew sold the Stones out to that Devil In Disguise Allen Klein nearly destroyed Andy. Allen Klein wasn’t in that much of a disguise either.
The trajectory of Andy’s career was so rapid it was hard to follow. It wasn’t so much that he bit off more than he could chew as that he tried to chew without biting it off. First things first, Andrew.
Anthony Burgess: Droogmaster General
Obsessed with A Clockwork Orange he moved in with Mick and Keith where he gave them lessons in Droogism. Both were apt pupils. This is difficult to follow but his brain captured and sensing what seems to have been the book’s importance Andrew approached Burgess to buy the movie rights. Burgess told him the rights had already been sold but he wouldn’t tell Andy to whom.
It turns out that the rights had been sold to David Bailey the fashion photographer who had made Mick his ‘mate’ and possibly bought the rights jointly with Mick. If so, one wonders where Mick got the money. Sometime in 1963 the pair split with their rights to New York City to interest Andy Warhol in a film project. This also is rather remarkable because Andy was not yet that prominent while he hadn’t made any kind of stir with his puerile movies as yet. Somehow the rights passed to Warhol and finally to whoever acquired them to make Kubrick’s movie.
Warhol did make a film based on the book although the connection seems tenuous while not being worth watching. More importantly Alex and his Droogs had a profound effect on members of Warhol’s group. The group left Warhol’s atelier, the Factory, at night on their predations a la Alex and his Droogs. I believe Bob Dylan is referring to them in this lyric from his 1965 song Desolation Row:
Now at midnight all the agents and the superhuman crew
Come out and roundup everyone that knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the [F]actory were the heart attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders…
For some reason both Oldham and Bailey thought Mick was the perfect Alex while the Stones could be the Droogs. It didn’t work out but Mick and Warhol bonded like superglue. They would be very close friends until Andy died in 1987 when Mick flew to Pittsburgh for the funeral. Not only did the Stones practice Black and Blue at Warhol’s Montauk compound but Andy did two or three covers for them most notably Sticky Fingers. As a result of Mick and Warhol’s friendship the Stones always had the key to Greenwich Village.
So Andrew lost out on his bid for A Clockwork Orange. But then his brain racing a mile a minute and wanting to be a record magnate he founded Immediate Records. Not one for details Immediate stretched him pretty thin. I know we’re talking ancient history here, or at least ancient technology, so the reader will have to let go of the present to imagine the impact of Immediate Records on the cognoscenti of the time. I modestly include myself in that number.
Andrew was on the far edge of flamboyant; his ideal Larry Harvey who he met about this time thought him arch camp so Andy in his eye makeup and fey manners must have cut a startling figure. A lot of people thought he was queer and not just ambiguous. The Immediate label was an astounding pink, almost fluorescent seemingly confirming homosexual tendencies. It got your attention but in those days you almost had to apologize for buying a record with such a label. His covers were all good, in a class with the best and perhaps…. He signed and produced a lot of very good groups. The label’s production values may have prevented him from having any smashes, at least I don’t remember any.
I’m sure few will remember the Nice or even have heard of them but the first Nice was a pretty good record while the members went on to greater things. The sound wasn’t as immediate as it could have been. I worked it in my store but couldn’t get anywhere with it.
In those days British imports were all the rage on the West Coast while US records were despised. When I first went to England in the early seventies I was astounded to find the fans waiting for American pressings because they were thought better. Oh, I said, how strange. What makes them better? In so many words they said production values. In still other words they thought they had more immediacy. So Andy’s Immediate records lacked immediacy. I thought they were great anyway and they were always the first of the new releases I auditioned.
But, the devil is in the details, and Andrew wasn’t much on details so he went broke although he did hang in there until 1970. Not a bad record for an independent. He doesn’t tell us what happened to the masters but they must have been worth something.
By that time Andy was not only deep into drugs he was legendary. In Stoned and 2Stoned he has some great descriptions of being out of it if you like that sort of thing. His first two books were based on the oral biography method of Jean Stein’s biography of Edie Sedgwick called Edie. In that book acquaintances were interviewed and then cut and pasted to form a continuous narrative. Knocked out by ‘Edie’ Andrew did the same with the exception that he commented on the interviewees’ comments.
Rolling Stoned begins in a straight autobiographical style then begins to wander and meander. Andrew is always a good read but unless you want to read three different four hundred page books covering the same ground with variations I would recommend his most recent, Rolling Stoned, or perhaps 2Stoned. Still, I don’t mind…

The Kimberley Process (KP) has thrown away its main point of leverage over the Zimbabwean government by allowing it to export diamonds from the controversial Marange region without first fulfilling previous commitments to reform its diamond trade, said the Kimberley Process Civil Society Coalition of NGOs today.
“The Kimberley Process has effectively given up on Zimbabwe,” said Alfred Brownell, President of Green Advocates, Liberia. “KP member governments and the diamond industry seem ready to turn their back on the interests of Zimbabwe’s citizens, the public good and the principles on which the Kimberley Process was founded.”
The Marange diamond fields were seized in 2008 by government security forces, who killed at least 200 small scale miners. At the end of 2009 the Zimbabwean government agreed to undertake a series of reforms as a basis for Kimberley Process authorisation of further exports. This ‘Joint Work Plan’ required among other things, demilitarisation, action on smuggling, and the legalisation of small scale mining.
Yesterday’s deal at the Kimberley Process annual plenary meeting in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, dispenses with any meaningful link between Zimbabwe’s compliance with the Joint Work Plan and the KP’s authorisation of diamond exports. This comes in spite of the Zimbabwean military remaining deeply involved in diamond mining in Marange, persistent and widespread smuggling and no progress in enabling small scale miners to work legally. Regular reports of human rights abuses against miners by security forces continue.
A previous agreement between the Kimberley Process and Zimbabwe gave local civil society representatives the official status of Local Focal Point, allowing them to access Marange and formally report back to the Kimberley Process. This status promised protection for activists who have previously been arrested and harassed over their work on Zimbabwe’s opaque diamond industry.
The new agreement, while maintaining that civil society organisations retain access to the Marange fields, strips the Local Focal Point of its official status.
“It’s a pure business deal that leaves out key concerns of Zimbabwe’s civil society: that is protection of the locals from human rights abuses in and around Marange and ensuring that Marange diamonds are properly accounted for, for the benefit of the suffering Zimbabwean people,” Farai Maguwu said from New York where he is being honoured with Human Rights Watch’s Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism for his work in the Marange diamond fields.
This deal does nothing to boost the confidence of members of the Kimberley Process Civil Society Coalition, who had boycotted the Kinshasa meeting over fears that substantive and ongoing concerns about Zimbabwe’s compliance would be ignored.
“This deal only reinforces the perception that there is no limit to how far the KP is prepared to go in lowering the ethical bar on Marange,” said Shamiso Mtisi, Coordinator of the Local Focal Point and Environmental Lawyer at the Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association. “Given the chance to keep Zimbabwe to its previous commitments, the KP has shown itself incapable of doing the right thing.”
The deal in Kinshasa also poses a very difficult question for the diamond industry and KP member countries: What of the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stockpiled diamonds linked to the worst bouts of violence in late 2008 and 2009?
“The integrity of the entire clean diamond supply chain is on the line,” said Alan Martin, Research Director of Partnership Africa Canada. “How can consumers buy a diamond this Christmas with any confidence that they are not buying a Marange diamond mined in unquestionable violence? How can industry give any assurances that they will be able to separate these diamonds from the legitimate diamond supply chain?”
In the approach to elections next year in Zimbabwe, the new agreement completely fails to address the risk of the diamond industry financing political violence in Zimbabwe. Each election in Zimbabwe over the last decade has been accompanied by widespread violence and intimidation. Coordinating the violence requires significant sums of money to pay security agents and youth militias.

1. The Kimberley Process is a rough diamond certification scheme, established in 2003. It brings
together governments, industry and civil society, and aims to eradicate the trade in conflict
diamonds. Member states are required to pass national legislation and set up an import/export
control system. Over 75 of the world’s diamond producing, trading and manufacturing countries
participate in the scheme.

human rights abuses in Zimbabwe and Côte d’Ivoire and rule breaking by Venezuela.

Wentworth preselectors’ rebuff to Morrison caps a week of mayhem
The Liberal preselectors of Wentworth have selected Dave Sharma, even though Prime Minister Scott Morrison wanted a female candidate, capping a chaotic week for the Federal Government.

Friday September 14, 2018 Comments
In the early hours of Friday morning, the Liberal preselectors of Wentworth delivered their new prime minister a humiliating public slapdown.
In selecting Dave Sharma, 42, former Australian ambassador to Israel and now a partner in an accountancy firm, as the candidate for the October 20 byelection, the preselectors have on all accounts chosen the best candidate.
But Scott Morrison had made it known he wanted a woman, a preference that’s been embarrassingly rejected. Katherine O’Regan, who was supposed to come out the winner, ran fifth.
Moreover, on Thursday it was learned that John Howard and Malcolm Turnbull were both encouraging Sharma to stay in the contest. So the two former prime ministers managed to do over the current prime minister.
The Wentworth Liberals, whose local member and PM was cut down, have had their revenge. The question now is whether the electors will also take theirs. Sharma has the potential to be an excellent MP. But he lives way outside the electorate, so he’ll start with a disadvantage against the high profile Kerryn Phelps, who is set to run as an independent.
This week has recalled the worst of Labor’s days. Morrison’s attempt to move things on from the coup didn’t cut it, just like Julia Gillard found her wheels spinning when she tried to dig her government out of various bogs.
In a highly provocative move, Turnbull has been busy from New York lobbying to have cabinet minister Peter Dutton’s parliamentary eligibility referred the High Court, to determine whether an interest in a child care business through a trust could see him in breach of the constitution’s troublesome section 44.
Turnbull explained in a tweet:
The point I have made to @ScottMorrisonMP and other colleagues is that given the uncertainty around Peter Dutton’s eligibility, acknowledged by the Solicitor General, he should be referred to the High Court, as Barnaby was, to clarify the matter.
— Malcolm Turnbull (@TurnbullMalcolm) September 12, 2018
Morrison brushed this aside, saying the public didn’t want the “lawyers’ picnic” to continue. But wishing it away won’t resolve a legitimate question that needs to be answered.
Never mind that Turnbull can be accused of malice; that he wasn’t worried about Dutton’s situation months ago, or that his government voted against referral.
Post-coup, we are in a new era. A spurned Turnbull is off the leash. So is former Liberal deputy Julie Bishop who, when asked about her stance, was coy.
“If there’s a vote on that matter then I’ll make my mind up at that time, but of course we want clarity around the standing of all the members of parliament,” she said. Backbencher Bishop has been reborn as outspokenly independent.
An unhappy “ex” is dangerously liberated to cause trouble, whether they’re inside or outside parliament. Tony Abbott has been the model.
Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce was also freelancing, accusing Turnbull of “an active campaign to try and remove us as the government”.
Turnbull quitting parliament has already delivered a major blow to his successor by triggering the byelection that, at worst, could put Morrison into minority government.
The legal opinion that Turnbull commissioned from the Solicitor-General during the leadership crisis has left sufficient uncertainty about Dutton’s eligibility to enable Turnbull to pursue the man who moved against him.
As we saw in the citizenship cases, this High Court takes a narrow view of section 44. Dutton might be on solid ground – as he insists and the Solicitor-General’s opinion supports. But doubt remains – as that opinion also concedes.
All week, the Liberals struggled to answer the key question: why was Turnbull deposed?
Labor is set to have a fresh try next week to refer Dutton to the court. The Herald Sun reports that two Liberals are considering voting with the opposition, a threat they’re making to push the government to take the matter into its own hands. The internal unease will be hard for Morrison to manage.
Bloodied by his unsuccessful power grab, Dutton is also still locked in an altercation with former Border Force chief Roman Quaedvlieg about ministerial interventions on visas.
Holes have been shot in Quaedvlieg’s claims. But Dutton went over the top when he used parliamentary privilege to accuse Quaedvlieg – sacked for helping his girlfriend get a job – of “grooming” a girl 30 years his junior. Even his colleagues did a double take at the term.
Dutton’s Canberra troubles can’t be helping him in his battle to hold his very marginal Queensland seat of Dickson, where GetUp has him in its sights.
All in all, Dutton is a marked man. If he survives to serve in the next parliament, it will be remarkable. That he remains in cabinet in this one is notable.
Normally someone who’d caused so much damage to the party and himself would now be on the backbench. But Dutton had hardly warmed a seat there, after the first challenge, than he was back in Home Affairs following the second one.
Here is a paradox: he is damaged goods, but too powerful to cast aside. Or rather, his right-wing support base is too strong for him to be relegated.
If Morrison wasn’t able to keep the lid on the controversies around Dutton, he was a little more successful in containing the insurgency from some of the women over bullying and low female representation.
He headed off backbencher Lucy Gichuhi’s threat to name the bullies. “The Prime Minister has taken up the issue,” she tweeted after their meeting.
Morrison’s pitch to the women was that he’d work with them and the whips internally. It is believed some complaints about behaviour have been made to the whips. The Minister for Women, Kelly O’Dwyer, has proposed the Liberal party organisation should have an independent and confidential process to operate when concerns are raised.
The recent events have sparked a few calls in the party for quotas, but there is minimal chance of the Liberals following Labor down that path.
But the Wentworth outcome could produce another round in the war over gender representation.
All week, the Liberals struggled to answer the key question: why was Turnbull deposed? It took Nationals leader Michael McCormack to give the brutal response on Thursday. McCormack identified three factors – ambition, Newspolls, and opportunity. “People take those opportunities and we’ve got a new prime minister,” he said.
And the view from the voters? As one Liberal MP says, they’ve got the baseball bats out.

VIDEO: “Still Feel” by half•alive
VIDEO: “Heaven Let Me In” by Friendly Fires
Check out the latest video from Friendly Fires in “Heaven Let Me In.” Directed by BISON (Bonobo, London Grammar and Jon Hopkins), the video stars acclaimed British actor Jeremy Irvine – famed for his roles in War Horse and Mama Mia – who dances through the streets and landmarks of London’s Docklands to perfectly encapsulate the intoxicating, sun-comes-up feel of the song.
“Heaven Let Me In” is Friendly Fires‘ second brand new song of 2018. Built around a euphoric, clipped, “French touch” style loop, the single is co-produced with Disclosure and was written in one late night session at the lauded electronic duo’s north London studio. It’s the second time these artists have collaborated, Friendly Fires frontman Ed Macfarlane having previously contributed vocals to Disclosure’s debut album (on “Defeated No More”).
VIDEO: “Everything Apart” by Foxwarren
Growing up in scattered small towns across the Canadian prairies, Foxwarren is comprised of singer songwriter Andy Shauf (guitars/keys/vocals) and his childhood friends Dallas Bryson (guitar/vocals) and brothers Darryl Kissick (bass) and Avery Kissick (drums & percussion). The four-piece has released its first song “Everything Apart”; the driving krautrock, drum machine backbone of the song evokes a ticking clock – a race against time.
“Combined with Andy’s existential lyrics, the song’s propulsive feel reminded us of the noir-ish tension of classic spy thrillers like ‘The Conversation’, ‘Three Days of The Condor’, and ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’,” explained the video’s directors, the Ft. Langley Production Company. “With the band’s blessing, we set to work on creating our own micro cold-war thriller, paying homage to era tropes like zoom-heavy camerawork, trench coats, and analogue tech.”
LISTEN: “Stay Wild” by Bravestation
I feel like too many of these posts lately have started with apologies and explanations for my extended absences. Let’s skip that this time and remember, if I put something up here, it’s because I want you to hear it.
Check out “Stay Wild” by Toronto duo Bravestation, off the album Goddess.
VIDEO: “RAYZ” by Royal Canoe
Winnipeg’s Royal Canoe are set to release their new album, Waver, on January 25 via Paper Bag Records. Take a listen to “RAYZ” from the forthcoming release.
“Whenever we begin working on a new album we throw everything out, even if it worked last time, just so we have no chance to rest on our laurels,” says singer Matt Peters, “On Waver we set out to create leaner arrangements and clearer melodies – less between us and the listener.”

Tomorrow we can go see him and hug him…
Posted on August 11, 2014 December 11, 2015 by Forest Rain
“So tomorrow we can go see him and hug him” I said. Lenny had woken me up to tell me that Haim had come home from Gaza [Operation Protective Edge].
Haim is the son of one of Lenny’s childhood friends. I’ve known Haim almost a decade. Lenny has known him since infancy. He was always charismatic. Even as a small child. Haim has a friendly charm that makes you smile and an exuberant personality that can’t be ignored.
He is a paratrooper and was one of the IDF soldiers on the ground in Gaza. Now he had come home.
Haim is just a few years older than Lenny’s sons and because of this Lenny had a visceral reaction to his life being in danger on the frontline. He imagined more vividly than ever before what it will be like to be in the position of a parent trying to go about his daily life, choked with fear for his son’s life. Every news update, every rumor on social media, every phone call and knock on the door could bring life shattering news: your beloved is injured, or worse, dead. You cannot protect your child or take the danger away. You are left behind, waiting, never knowing until the moment he walks back in the door and you can, once again, wrap your arms around him and hold him tight.
We went to see Haim the next day. It is hard to explain in words but it had become really important to look at him, to hug him. Maybe it was a need to see that he would be ok and in one piece. Too many of our soldiers did not come home. Too many came home not whole – arms or legs amputated, eyes damaged, hearing damaged…
Remembering the child, it was startling to see the man standing in front of us. Young but no longer a boy, Gaza had changed him.
Firstborn and the only boy, Haim had always been the delight of his family. Now they all crowded around him, talking, not really knowing what to say… excited. Watching them, it was like I was seeing two different worlds collide. Haim was in the midst of his loving family but he was also alone. None of them could ever know exactly what he went through in Gaza, only the people who were there with him could really understand.
His mother talked about the horrible heat he had to endure, the powder-like sand that got on and in everything, the inability to take a shower or change clothes. These all were certainly bothersome but they were the least of his worries. What is a sore and itching body compared to coming home alive or getting killed?
Even his father, grandfather or other Israeli men wouldn’t understand completely because the tactics used by the Hamas in Gaza are different from what was in previous wars. This was not the battle of soldiers meeting each other on a battlefield it wasn’t even like previously seen urban combat. The enemy hid behind and amongst civilians, sending children and mentally handicapped to shoot and throw grenades at soldiers. Women suicide bombers were sent to explode themselves in order to kill soldiers. Regular homes were weapons caches and launching pads for missiles. The Hamas hid in their tunnels in attempt to ambush IDF soldiers, to kill and take hostages. Everywhere they went, everything was booby trapped with explosives. Israel gave the Gazans so much advance warning of where the IDF would be focusing their efforts that it became easy for Hamas to prepare explosives in every place they wanted to stop the IDF (tunnel entrances, weapons stores etc.).
Haim told us of bullets flying, RPG rockets aimed at him and his fellow soldiers. He said: “It was like walking in to an American action movie – only real.” He told us of how terrorists tried to ambush them via one of their terror-tunnels (as they did when Hadar Goldin, Benaya Sarel and Liel Gidoni were killed). “We stopped them [unlike those who hadn’t managed to do so before it was too late],” said Haim. “We killed them.”
Haim said: “Gaza is full of miracles. We experienced lots of miracles.” Most people think of miracles as something spectacular that happens. He was talking about all the things that didn’t happen. The bullets that didn’t hit them. The terrorists that failed in their ambushes. The explosives, meant to kill them that simply didn’t explode. He told us of a house they had to enter – the whole ceiling was covered in gas balloons rigged to explode. They were meant to cause an explosion that would have incinerated the building and all the soldiers inside. But they didn’t explode. Haim and all the soldiers with him should have been dead. But they weren’t.
Thank God for miracles!
Haim’s family all had their opinions about the war with Hamas, what should and shouldn’t be done. Haim, the only one who had actually been in Gaza this time around, remained silent. When asked directly he said: “We successfully completed every task given to us. If now we are asked to do more, we will.”
His mother visibly paled at the thought of him having to go back but remained silent. She knew that he had only 48 hours to be at home and that wherever he’ll be sent, it will be dangerous. If he has to go back to Gaza, he will. If not, he will be sent to other, difficult and risky tasks. He will go because it is his turn. In two years Lenny’s sons will also go.
Each soldier has parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children that worry themselves sick each time their beloved is called up. No one wants to go to battle. In Israel it is necessary to do so because the lives of all our people are threatened. We are not protecting political strategic locations overseas. Our soldiers are protecting their own homes, their mothers and fathers, their wives and children.
What does victory mean to you? This image, making the rounds of Israeli social media, clearly shows what we fight for…
People who hate Israel look at IDF soldiers as brutal tools of an aggressive nation. People who love Israel tend to see the strength of our soldiers. Many know of their morality and decency. Few see the gut wrenching pain of the parents (and wives) who send their beloved to protect the nation, knowing he may never return. Few realize how much we need miracles to bring them back home again…
How ironic that the Israeli people, widely accused of war-mongering aggression, so deeply desire to see the day when we will no longer have to fight.
“If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there will be peace tomorrow. If Israel puts down her weapons today, tomorrow there will be no Israel.”

KeeperFX Unofficial 0.4.6
Thread: KeeperFX Unofficial 0.4.6
damedog
Re: KeeperFX Unofficial 0.4.6
New to this forum entirely, stumbled upon it almost entirely by accident, but I am very excited to see that the original Dungeon Keeper still has so many dedicated fans!
I know my way around code, and would love to contribute to this project in some way if I could. There seems to be a lot of updates already, so I am currently trying to orient myself with the current status.
This is both an update/fix, and several new campaigns, correct?
Gwame
If you've never played KeeperFX before, it's basically a re-coding of the original game, originally designed to make it fully compatible with modern systems, but also to correct certain bugs, oversights and balance issues. It does include a high number of custom campaigns and maps.

Mefistotelis has been rewriting the original dungeon keeper, while using the original game for the bits that have not been rewritten yet so it remains playable. And it indeed features the possibility to run effortlessly on modern systems, in an higher resolution, with countless bug fixes and some new functionality.
Having somebody wanting to contribute is great, unfortunately the project is in a rough state at the moment. For a long time Mefistotelis worked on the remake mostly alone, until two years ago he accepted help from two other contributors. They did not stay for long, but checked in code that was not up to standards he was accustomed to, so he branched off from before the contributions, continued work on this branch he named stable and refactored the contributed code before introducing it into his new branch. The idea was that ones finished one would be the 'stable' branch where only completed and well tested features would be introduced, and one development branch for anybody to contribute. This was never finished, and Mefisotelis' private and professional life took over and this hobby project has not been worked on for over a year. He fully intends to continue in the future.
The project was left hanging, so as you have probably read in the first post of this topic, I made a fork where I took out the partial/broken stuff and balanced the levels around the latest changes so we sort of have a 'final' and well playable version.
That leaves you in a pickle on how to contribute. You have a few options:
- Contact Mefistoteliz to work on the 'official' keeperfx that's on hiatus.
- Contact me to work on the 'unofficial' keeperfx, but realize that might complicate matters when/if work on the official branch continues.
- Make your own fork
I realize neither of these options are ideal, and it is such a shame because having people volunteer who can actually do something is always wonderful.

Find the pathfinding bug.
Slay the pathfinding bug.
This is your calling. This is your quest.
I see. That's understandable as badly written code can be more of a hindrance than a help. In that sense i'd rather get a look at the unofficial FX and work with it until I get my bearings, so to speak.
I've also been a Dungeon Master in Dungeon and Dragons tabletop for years, a job very similar to the Keeper in some ways, so look out for advanced A.I scripts (especially a good dungeon invasion one) and good level design I plan to make as future projects.

I would like to thank you for all the hard work you continue to put into KeeperFX. I recently started using your unofficial version and it has been great. I can't remember any crash at all. I started a playthrough of the Good Campaign on my channel that I was just finishing up if you guys want to see what the unofficial version looks like. In this one you play as the Good guys. And its one of the better custom campaigns in my opinion. Below here I posted a few of the better levels.
Part 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cQCWMt70o4
Part 11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdBlNIQDjfk
Part 12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLQZyKGsZV8
Part 13: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh9ex47Ev0I
Part 14 which is the best mission in the Campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sayCVqxMG3Y
Final part 15 of the Good Campaign here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO7J2siMmLw
The final mission of the Good Campaign is really the only one that bugged out on me. Being unable to destroy the door leading to the Dungeon Heart. The Horned Reapers in the room in front were also bugged fighting the same door I couldn't break. Besides this I played the entire campaign without any incidents and it even played(to my recollection) better then the older version of KeeperFX.
I am now going to continue on my journey of the Unofficial version by playing the original campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oQiysac1O4 and part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oQiysac1O4 and 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwkQiISMkog
Just would like to thank you for all the hard work you put into the unofficial version of KeeperFX. Keep up the good work because it runs great. I might even delve into editor because I've always wanted to create my own campaign since I was younger. But I would need to look up some guides at how to do that first. I would love to create another campaign where you play as the good guys. Those sprites don't get enough love in my opinion. And I want to contribute to make the greatest game known to man even better. The surprise I had a couple of years ago when I came across KeeperFX was immense and I keep coming back to my childhood favorite. It really is the best game ever.
Thanks. There's no good work to 'keep up' though, I released this to be more or less a 'final' version. I've watched a bit of one of your videos, where you died a few times in New Game+ campaign. Interesting to see where people are having difficulties. (Small hint: Watch for room efficiency as it really matters. Also, in most maps turtling is counter-productive, playing faster is easier.)
Making maps is easy, making maps that are fun to play a lot more difficult. This wiki page has all you need to now on how to make a campaign. And I've written down some guidelines on how to make maps fun.
If you like campaigns with heroes, I believe this one fits the bill.
Thanks for the tips. I did get my ass whopped in that mission of the New Game+ mission and I will redo it playing a lot more aggressively. They did fix up the enemy Keeper AI in that level in the campaign, he even took out the heroes and then rushed me(Look in comparison to my play through of this mission in the regular campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q4TP_spdJQ it was a walk in the park in comparison). I can't wait to replay this mission now that I have actually completed another campaign again. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to start with New Game+ when not playing the game for a year or so. Also thanks for the new hero campaign that you showed me, just installed it and will check it out.
I am going to check out how to start making maps. Also read a couple of your threads about map making which were very interesting. I'm also going to play your level which you made here https://keeperklan.com/threads/4914-...o-fun-DK1-maps and make video of it. Just to get a little comparison going between a regular campaign mission and one of your custom maps. Reading about it it sounds awesome. Thanks again for the link to another hero campaign. I do love me those hero sprites. I will probably become active on this forum from now on as I really want to get into the map making side of things as well. Will follow your helpful guide to start.
Already a random off-topic question: Would it be possible to combine both hero and creature pools so you could attract from both of these pools to your dungeon. Or is it just either hero or creature?

I made the NG+ campaign to be not much different from the original campaign, but the original campaign is mostly tutorial and can easily be abused by using transferred creatures. The main changes are that rival keepers get a bit of a boost, transfer specials need to be earned and I made the imp-slapping secret levels more interesting.
In that light, I've got to warn you. The 6 custom levels I made keep in mind that most people playing custom maps now have quite some experience with the game, and are more difficult than the regular campaign. Some of the maps will really kick your ass when you keep the playstyle you have now, but if you're up for a challenge: enjoy.
And the game makes no real difference between heroes and creatures. You can mix and match heroes/creatures coming from the portals just fine, just like you can also make 'hero parties' with all/some creatures in them.
Wiegraf
I'm having a ball playing this game and also currently using KeeperFX Unofficial 0.4.6. However I find imps to behave oddly, especially when asked to mine gems, more often than not imps will just leave gems after a bit and simply go do some other tasks. It seems like mining gems is no longer a priority for them. On some levels it's quite a pain to manually take every imps back to the gems, only solution I found was using locked doors. Does anyone have the same issue regarding the imps?
Also when playing Kari-mar from Deeper Dungeons, Yellow keeper races through heroes pockets and that's auto-win every time I tried. I don't know if any of this come from KeeperFX 0.4.6 Unofficial, which I'm grateful for, but the imp thingie is annoying.
Thanks for your input!

Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Eddie Murphy/Lizzo
jmunney Saturday Night Live, SNL Weekly Recaps, Television Eddie Murphy, Kittle Diddle, Lizzo, Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live Season 45, SNL, SNL Season 45 1 Comment
CREDIT: Rosalind O’Connor/NBC
It’s the last new Saturday Night Live of 2019, and I got a good night’s sleep and woke up refreshed to watch it recorded on my DVR. I finished writing in my dream journal while still in bed and added a very yellow banana to my cereal. I bet Eddie Murphy was also feeling refreshed, as it’s been 35 years since he last hosted (and 35+ years since he left the cast). Hopefully Lizzo was also feeling refreshed, or at least excited, as this is her first time as music guest. Incidentally, I believe that “Liz. OH!” is what you say when you realize that it’s been 35 years since Eddie Murphy last hosted.
Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Scarlett Johansson/Niall Horan
jmunney Saturday Night Live, SNL Weekly Recaps, Television Niall Horan, Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live Season 45, Scarlett Johansson, SNL, SNL Season 45 Leave a comment
Let’s take a moment to recognize how much Christmas cheer Saturday Night Live manages to regularly contain. On most seasons, there are three new episodes in December, and all three of those year-ender outings typically have a significant percentage of holiday-themed sketches. In the middle of that snowy sandwich in 2019 we’ve got Scarlett Johansson hosting for the sixth time, and Niall Horan is providing the tunes for the first time without his former bandmate bros.
Let me set the scene of my viewing for you: I made myself a couple of pancakes for breakfast that went down easy, the day after I ran a 5K race. Yum!
Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Jennifer Lopez/DaBaby
jmunney Saturday Night Live, SNL Weekly Recaps, Television DaBaby, J Lo, Jennifer Lopez, Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live Season 45, SNL, SNL Season 45 Leave a comment
If it’s the end of a decade or the start of a new one, it must be time for Jennifer Lopez to host SNL. Her first two times were in Februarys 2001 and 2010, and now we have her again in December 2019. Meanwhile, DaBaby is joining her for his first jaunt as musical guest. Hey, if he makes some more appearances after this one, are we going to have to start calling him “DaChild” and then “DaAdult”?
When 11:30 (or actually 11:29, according to the channel guide) rolls around, it’s time for the show to start, not because we’re ready, but because we can. (But if you record it, it’ll be waiting for you the very next morning on your DVR!) So as 11:30 hit on December 7, 2019, Alec Baldwin was unsurprisingly in his Trump costume, but he was joined at NATO (Grade: 2.5/5 Merkel Moans of Ecstasy) by a couple other guests, i.e. Jimmy Fallon as Justin Trudeau and Paul Rudd as Emmanuel Macron, and while it’s nice to see some old friends, I’m not in favor of guests always playing such high-profile roles. You gotta develop your farm talent! Although, the James Corden-as-Boris Johnson of it all wasn’t so bad, since he’s an SNL noob. J. Lo comes out for her Monologue (Grade: 3.5/5 Gravity Defiers), and we’re all expecting her to dance, WHICH SHE DOES!, but how many of us also expected her to rock that green dress again? Wowza.
Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Will Ferrell/King Princess

Hey, you. Yeah, you. Do you want to know a little secret? Will Ferrell is my favorite SNL cast member of all time! He regularly graced the Studio 8H stage from 1995 to 2002, and I don’t think it’s too out of line to say that he appeared in a lot of hilarious sketches that multiple people remember fondly. Since ending his tenure and moving on to other career ventures, he’s also made time to return for some visits, which has led up to him hosting for the FIFTH time on November 23, 2019, thereby becoming only the fourth former cast member to join the Five-Timers Club. Also appearing in an official capacity in this episode is musical guest King Princess. She’s only 20 years old currently, and I think she’s someone we’ll be noticing for a while.
Alec Baldwin-Trump showed up for the White House press conference cold open (Grade: 3/5 Large Pies, Extra Cheese), and somehow it felt somewhat fresh. It helped that it was just a few minutes long, and Will F. imbued some new energy into the proceedings as Gordon Sondland. You can always bank on an excellent Monologue (Grade: 4.5 New Blorks) from Will Ferrell (or as Tracy Morgan says, “Will fuh-RELL!”), thanks to his knack for subverting common monologue tropes. This time was no exception, as he became phantasmagorically puddly-lipped in the presence of surprise guest Ryan Reynolds.
Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Harry Styles (Season 45)

It was a big family weekend for me this … weekend. Birthdays, food, and candles galore! So if it sounds like I’m writing this review after staying out all night partying, you know why. Hosting AND musical guesting this mid-November SNL outing is millennial Harry Styles. The last time we had someone pulling double duty was Chance the Rapper just two episodes ago. Is this a record for the least amount of time between double duties? Almost certainly so. I don’t think it’s even legal for it to happen two episodes in a row.
The opening sketch, as surely expected by anyone with expectations, centered around the congressional impeachment hearings. the formula for most SNL political sketches is: here’s our version of what we all saw happen on the news earlier in the week. But I wish more often it were: here’s this imaginary scene featuring the people in the news. I suppose this story was too big to sidestep, but at least they spruced it up a bit by turning it into a soap opera. So I give Days of Our Impeachment a Grade of a Few Fainting Spells. Anyway, then Harry Styles pranced out for his Monologue (Grade: 3 out of 5 Suspicious B-Camera Shots) and with those wonderful yellow pants and open-collar blue shirt, I’m tempted to say he’s promoting his fashion sense much more so than any of his music. And I must say, I think Harry and his episode started out strong as he played an office intern sent out on a Lunch Run (Grade: 3.5/5 Frederick Douglass Boulevards) who’s intent to get some Popeye’s chicken sandwiches in another example of SNL astutely commenting on racial American stereotypes.
Jeff’s Wacky SNL Review: Kristen Stewart/Coldplay

Hello world, it’s time for me to post my review of the fifth episode of the forty-fifth season of Saturday Night Live. Kristen Stewart is hosting for the second time ever. I thought she was promoting Seberg, which is looking like it’ll be a pretty small release, even as far as small releases go. But then I remembered that she’s also going to be in the latest edition of Charlie’s Angels, which comes out soon. And Coldplay (the coldest of bands? certainly not the most playful) is the musical guest for, wow, the sixth time. That’ll have you thinking about the passage of time.

After a short one-week break (presumably so that the cast could catch up on their sleep), SNL is back with a new Season 45 episode, with Chance the Rapper pulling double duty. He’s hosted before, been musical guest before, but never both at the same time … until now! I don’t know exactly what he’s promoting right now, but he seems like the type of person who releases new music often enough that he’s always promoting something. And they seem to like him at SNL enough that he can stop by whenever he wants to. To give you a sense of where I was at while watching, I made myself pancakes. You might notice that I eat pancakes frequently on the weekends.
For the cold open, Alec Baldwin showed up as Trump again. I wish I could muster more enthusiasm. “Deep State lizard conspiracy” made me laugh, and I enjoyed Fred Armisen’s very silly Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Trump Rally (Grade: More Turkey Puns, Please) Chance the Rapper inserted plenty of rhythm into his Monologue (Grade: 4/5 Second Places) by debuting a little rap (alongside Kyle Mooney) about the second bests of various attractions, as inspired by his hometown of Chicago, the “Second City.” At first blush, this feels like it deserves a place in the Monologue Song Pantheon.

Step 1: Welcome
Ever wonder how companies keep track of all the people who apply for jobs? They use what are called Candidate Tracking Systems which let them manage the people who apply. But what about you? What about the 20, 30 or even 70 odd jobs you're going to apply for in your next job search?
How are you going to keep track of them? Where are you going to store all the different cover letters you write? Where do you even write down the 3 different interview times that company Foo requested you for and then the 4 different times that company Bar asked for?
You need Job Hound which is the world's first Job Tracking System. My name is Scott and I wrote it for all the problems I found in my own job search.

Progress BRIEF PROFILE
Judith Dietrich
ShareOnYammer
Judith Ann “Jude” (Greuel) Dietrich, 67, of Chilton passed away Thursday, Jan. 9, 2020 after complications related to her ongoing battle with dementia.
She was surrounded by family and friends in a departure that could only be orchestrated through Divine Providence.
She was born Aug. 23, 1952, daughter of Glenroy and Theresa Greuel of St. Anna. Jude graduated from Holy Family Convent High School in June 1970. She worked at Kohler Company before marrying Ronald Dietrich on July 3, 1972 and moving to Vallejo, California. Her hobbies of travel and photography were well suited to the life that took her and her family to California, Puerto Rico, and Illinois before returning to Wisconsin in 1998. In her youth she discovered the guitar and enjoyed writing poetry, both activities she continued in later life.
Jude was an avid Beatles fan and this John Lennon quote could well be her epitaph: “Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.” Wherever she lived she quickly made friends and welcomed all with her infectious smile and warm laughter. She was always looking to help people and even when she was taken ill, she would ask people if they needed help and offer to assist them. Clearly she had an impact on multiple lives over many years.
A woman of deep faith, she loved God, her church, and her family. She shared her faith and helped others find meaningful ways to express and grow in their own faith. One highlight of her many travels abroad was a trip to Rome where she visited the tomb of her favorite pope, St. John Paul II. A leader and organizer, she chaired women’s groups, Parish Council and Marriage Encounter. She initiated many activities such as the Living Rosary, traveling Fatima Statue, and prayer groups. In Chilton she started the parish library and managed it for 20 years. She made thousands of rosaries for the missions and taught others that skill as well.
Stricken with ovarian cancer at age 28, Jude recovered ever thankful that she had been blessed with her three children before then. She raised them always proud of their accomplishments, instilling the idea that they could “soar like eagles” and that “boredom is a choice.” In her spare time, Jude ran a successful craft business, Pinecone Creations, featuring Christmas tree skirts and home decorations made with pine cones.
Jude is survived by her husband of 47 years, Ronald; three children, Jennifer (Stephen) Shauger of Apex, North Carolina (Katie and Michael); Jonathan (Mindy) Dietrich of Gig Harbor, Washington (Eliana, Nate and Ryan); and Jessica (Brian) Bertino of Shorewood, Illinois (Stephanie and Zachary); her mother, Theresa Greuel of Kiel; siblings Tom (Nancy) Greuel of New Holstein; Tim (Mary Kay) Greuel of St. Cloud, and Joan (Bruce) Lechler of Kiel; her sister-in-law, Mary Ann Greuel of New Holstein; and nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Jude was preceded in death by her father, Glenroy Greuel; brother Stephen Greuel; niece Debbie Greuel; paternal grandparents Alvin and Irene Greuel; maternal grandparents Nick and Norma Dickrell; and sister Mary Jane Greuel.
A Liturgy Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18 at St. Ann Catholic Church in St. Anna, N188 School St., New Holstein. The Rev. Larry Abler, OFM Cap, will officiate. Jude will be laid to rest in St. Ann Catholic Cemetery following the Mass.
Family and friends may visit with Jude’s family on Friday, Jan. 17 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Sippel Funeral Home, 2618 Altona Ave., New Holstein. Please note there is no visitation Saturday morning, only Friday evening at the funeral home.
The family is grateful for the care and support provided by the staff at St. Paul Elder Services, Kaukauna, and asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Judy’s name to St. Paul.
For further details please contact Sippel Funeral Home at 898-4300 or visit www.sippelfuneralhome.net.

10 Twitter Accounts Every Sports Journalist Must Follow
Sports Journalism is a precise art and there are ways in which you can make your own life easier when trying to focus your efforts into being the best possible sports journalist you can be. Each journalist will have their own little cheats and tips on how to get ahead of the game and make sure your articles are the best and most accurate that they can be. A helping hand, therefore, for doing this is making sure that you’re viewing the right accounts that will help you as much as possible on social networking sites- especially Twitter.
Focusing mainly on football journalists, I’ve quickly selected the 10 accounts that I’d most recommend you follow. Each account is helpful in its own way, either with news, views, or for humour. This is a personal view on which twitter accounts football journalists must follow and if you do have any suggestions of your own then please leave them in the comments and I’ll give them a look.
The 10 accounts I have chosen have millions of followers so someone else clearly agrees with me…
10. Sky Sports News – @SkySportsNews – 2,108,800 followers
The Sky Sports News account is definitely on the ball when it comes to reporting breaking news- including results and reports. I personally follow Sky Sports News because they are usually the best for breaking news stories.
Sky Sports also have their own dedicated accounts for various sports including @SkyFootball and @SkyCricket. This makes it easy to distinguish between what is necessary and what isn’t when using Sky as a source of information. The general news account however is probably better for both casual journalism and for your own personal use. Sky Sports News comes highly recommended.

Arsenal Transfers: Could Lyon Striker Bafetimbi Gomis Be Late Option?
We all knew that Arsenal desperately needed new signings to strengthen all areas, and Arsene Wenger has duly obliged, pursuing Mesut Ozil, Emiliano Viviano and Demba Ba.
But though Wenger has been successful in his pursuit of the first two, the last part of that hasty trinity doesn’t appear to be on his way to the Emirates, with Chelsea finally calling a halt to the Gunners’ attempt to sign the Senegalese striker on loan.
The whole thing leaves the manager at something of a loss – with only Olivier Giroud available as an out-and-out first team frontman, the cupboard looks bare for Arsenal and in desperate need of restocking.
But who should they pursue? For my money, they could do a lot worse than long-term Newcastle target Bafetimbi Gomis.
According to France Football’s Matt Spiro, Wenger is a long-term admirer of the bullish Lyon striker, but has never quite turned his thoughts into actions.
Well, there’s no time like the present, and faced with a real striking shortage, the manager might be forced to play his hand and snap up the French international.
And why not? Gomis is clearly an excellent performer – though never prolific, he always fetches his side 10-20 goals a season so in terms of sheer end-product, he would certainly be a worthwhile investment.
Yet he brings so much more than that – often labelled the ‘mini Drogba,’ the 28-year-old takes after his illustrious namesake in physicality as well as playing style, battering down defences and playing in teammates to score.
Frankly, this is what Arsenal need right now – as Bill Shankly once said, a football team is like a piano – you need eight men to carry it, and three men to play the thing. What Arsenal have at the moment are far too many players, and not enough lifters.
With this in mind, what Gomis would represent is a plan B for Arsenal that Giroud simply doesn’t, and his presence in the line-up would mean that the Gunners would very rarely be physically cowed.
So really, Wenger should crack upon his much-vaunted checkbook and give Lyon a call. After all, it’s not as if he isn’t for sale – the main stumbling block Lyon have experienced during this saga is that no club has stumped up enough in wages to seriously turn his head.
If Ivan Gazidis is correct, this won’t be a problem for Arsenal. So really Arsene, what are you waiting for?

Man Utd 0-0 Chelsea: 5 Things We Learnt
copyright Andrew Orchard
Matches between title contenders fall into two categories, it seems – matches that have a profound, some say devastating effect on the title race, even two games in, or ones where not much happens, not much changes, and everyone lives to fight another day. The first match between title rivals this season fell very much into the latter category.
Still, there plenty of interest for football enthusiasts, starting right from the team selections (more on that later) to the substitutions and then into ‘Moyes time’, which rather appropriately enough considering the differing personalities of the incumbent and his predecessor, there was no real last gasp excitement.
Here are five things we learnt…

Swansea vs Man Utd – 5 Areas Where The Game Will Be Won & Lost
The start of the 2013/2014 Premier League football season is almost upon us. In Saturday’s most mouth-watering fixture, Manchester United will begin the defence of their title at the Liberty Stadium against Swansea in the early evening kick-off.
After dominating the Premier League last season, United will go into the new campaign full of confidence anticipating further good performances. However, a poor pre season campaign for David Moyes’ team and the growing stature of rival clubs poses the opportunity for a hotly contested title campaign. It is therefore paramount that United get off to the best possible start on Saturday to instantly put pressure on their rivals.
They go into the game against Swansea as clear favourites, however the match will not be a walkover! There are numerous areas where the game will be won and lost and I’ve picked out what I think will be the 5 key battles taking place.

Spurs Transfers: 5 Things Roberto Soldado Will Bring To The Club
Having agreed a reported 26 million fee for the Spanish international striker, Tottenham Hotspur have all but completed the signing of Roberto Soldado from Valencia (subject to a medical and agent fees being agreed etc).
He’s the striker Spurs fans have been begging for since Dimitar Berbatov departed for Old Trafford in 2008 and will be the club’s record signing – a record they will have broken twice this summer, following the prior arrival of Brazilian international midfielder Paulinho to White Hart Lane for 17 million.
The signing represents something of a breaking of the mould for Spurs, who are renowned for buying players young and developing them in to stars – see Aaron Lennon, Luka Modric and Michael Carrick for details – whereas Soldado is the finished article. At 28, he should be in his prime.
On that note, here are five things Roberto Soldado will bring to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club…

Arsenal Transfers: 5 Reasons Why Luis Suarez Is More Hassle Than He’s Worth
This month has seen unsettled Liverpool striker Luis Suarez subjected to two bids from Arsenal.
The first, which came on July 8, stood at 30 million and was swiftly rejected by the Merseyside club.
The second, which came in last night, saw the Gunners increase their bid by 10 million as they lodged a 40 million offer, which was also rejected.
However, today, the Uruguayan striker, who finished last season as the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League, told his club that he wants talks with Arsenal.
The Londoners are desperate to sign Suarez having missed out on Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain to Napoli, and manager Arsene Wenger is determined to bring in at least one “big name” this summer to appease long-suffering Gooners.
The French manager is likely to have to up his bidding somewhat however, as Rodgers values his prized asset at 55 million, claiming he’s worth just as much as Edinson Cavani.
In actuality, Suarez is in fact a liability.
Arsenal would be mad to part with that amount for a player who has more baggage than an airport conveyor belt, and here, we take a look at 5 Reasons Why Luis Suarez Is More Hassle Than He’s Worth.

10 Best Football Stadiums In The World
As the world’s most popular sport, football has lead to the development of thousands of stadiums, and some that are very special indeed! With national stadiums such as Wembley holding around 100,000 people, the structures themselves are highly impressive.
However, as well as being huge, and therefore impressive feats of engineering, the worlds football stadiums hold many memories and are the places of dreams for footballers and fans alike. In this list I will look at what are, in my opinion, the 10 greatest football stadiums in the world.
10. The Azadi Stadium
Inaugurated in 1971, the Azadi Stadium is home to the Iran national football team as well as Esteghlal and Persepolis. With a capacity of over 80,000 and part of a much larger sporting complex, this stadium is surrounded by a river, swimming facilities, and football training pitches.
The whole site is highly impressive, and with the stadium at its centre, it is a striking example of Iran’s financial power and desire to compete in the world of sport. I feel it is worthy of a place in the top 10 as a sign of the Middle-East’s ever rising presence in the world of football.

How Are Floating Point Images Displayed in NI-Vision?
LabVIEW Full
NI-IMAQ
I am trying to display an image which is stored in floating point format. I've set all of the pixel values to 255, so I expect the image to be white. However, when it is displayed, it is just a black image. Why?
Grayscale images are displayed in most cases with a 256 gray-scale palette. Because the range for a floating point number is infinite, the image is dynamically adjusted to fit in the 256 possible levels.
This is done by taking the maximum and the minimum value, setting those to 255 and 0, and then adjusting the remaining values to fit in between.
So if the minimum and maximum values are equal, all pixels are forced to the same value: 0. Unlike 16-bit images, there is no way to disable or modify the way this mapping is performed

Philippines, Kuwait Hold Bilateral Talks Anew
A few weeks ago, the Philippines and Kuwait once again found themselves in a familiar situation, which almost permanently marred the relations of the two, mainly due to an incident involving the death of a Filipina domestic worker in Kuwait.

Last year, talks have been held to discuss such issues and to come up with an official agreement to set a solid foundation as to how incidences of abuse and injustice among the Filipino domestic sector in the Gulf State will be prevented and addressed.

Philippines, Kuwait Discuss Domestic Workers’ Rights & Protection
Only after a year has passed, the two countries are once again involved in a review of their agreement, which aims to finally put incidences of abuse and unwarranted death among Filipino domestic workers to an end, as shared in a report by the Kuwait Times.
And while the results of the re-autopsy requested by the family, with the support of the Philippine government, are yet to be released, high-ranking diplomatic officials from both countries have already begun talks to address the issue at hand.
Led by Kuwait’s Ambassador to the Philippines Musaed Al-Thuwaikh and Philippines Labor Minister Silvestre Bello, the meeting addressed bilateral issues highlighted by that of domestic helpers in Kuwait.
Based on the report, both sides had remarks about the contract from intended to be used to recruit labour from the Philippines and that a further meeting will be held between officials from both countries to discuss the matter.
Also, the meeting brought up updates on the body of a Filipina maid, Constancia Lago-Dayag – suspected to have been murdered – has already been shipped back to the Philippines a week ago and that the embassy is still waiting for the final forensics report about the cause of death.
Meanwhile, an update from the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait revealed that no suspect has yet been identified in the brutal rape-murder of Dayag in Kuwait last week.
Last year, over 5,000 maltreated Filipino workers were repatriated by the Philippine government, as it issued a deployment ban on Kuwait after missing household helper Joanna Demafelis was found inside a freezer at the abandoned apartment of her employers.
The two countries have since signed an agreement to protect overseas Filipino workers in Kuwait, but now officials from both sides are taking the necessary steps to review the provisions of the said agreement, and how this is being implemented to serve the cause of the target population.

LAMAIGNERE AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
To improve the trust of customers, shareholders, suppliers and workers, LAMAIGNERE has deployed a set of mechanisms to carry out its activity through an organizational culture based on the principles of good governance and corporate compliance, with the intention to consolidate the company as an organization involved in regulatory compliance, through the interaction and participation of all the departments that integrate it.
This compliance system is defined as an independent function that identifies, advises, alerts, monitors and reports compliance risks in organizations, that is, the risk of receiving losses due to legal or regulatory breaches, suffering financial losses or loss of reputation for failures in the compliance of applicable laws, regulations, codes of conduct and protocols of good practice. This system focuses on the adoption of adequate measures to fight against fraud, and corruption, and on the prevention, detection and search for effective solutions to conflicts of interest and possible breaches that may arise in the everyday running of the company.
LAMAIGNERE, en su esfuerzo de mejorar la confianza de los clientes, accionistas, proveedores y trabajadores, ha puesto en marcha medios para asegurar el buen control de la información y los procesos de la compañía, con el objetivo último de garantizar un servicio de logística y transporte de calidad y comprometido con el cumplimiento normativo. Además, a tal efecto, cuenta con un equipo compuesto por varios trabajadores de distintos perfiles y áreas, que velan por el efectivo cumplimiento de las normas; a su vez y debido a su importancia, se ha impulsado la difusión de la existencia del Compliance a todas sus oficinas nacionales e internacionales.
LAMAIGNERE`s Compliance system has been built from the following pillars:
1. The identification of risks to which the legal entity is exposed due to its activity, which may hinder the achievement of its business objectives.
2. The evaluation of existing prevention controls.
3. The continuous training of LAMAIGNERE employees and executives about the protocol of action in case of detecting irregular conduct or the possible commission of a criminal offense.
4. The adoption of security protocols aimed at safeguarding reputational exposure.
5. The establishment of a risk management system, which provides a roadmap that allows the identification, evaluation and resolution of risk situations in the entity.
6. The development of a business culture aimed at strengthening practices related to good corporate governance, internal control and transparency.
7. Strengthening governance systems and corporate identity.
LAMAIGNERE`s Compliance Program has been drafted, with the objective of developing a business culture aimed at reinforce practices related to good corporate governance, internal control and transparency. To draw up the document, the following sections were studied and developed:
The analysis of LAMAIGNERE as a subject of Compliance.
The analysis of the risks to which the company is exposed due to its activity and that may hinder the achievement of its business objectives.
Ethical Code.
LAMAIGNERE also has an Operational Compliance Program, which includes all those business activity procedures linked to regulatory compliance, as well as those specific operations where there is a considerable level of risk (data protection, occupational risk prevention and source code normative).
Employee protection. Review of contract models and elaboration of a dossier with the different types of them. Establishment of measures focused on preventing the escape of human capital and the establishment of penalties and non-competition clauses.
Adaptation of the Compliance Program to the international models of those countries in which the company develops its business activity.
Company policy. The business code of ethics that helps to develop and consolidate the different company policies that has been drafted, according to the work area.
The protocolization of the procedures at the operational level of the different areas of the company has begun, defining contents, applicable regulations, staff competencies, establishment of responsibilities.
PREVENTION MODEL OF NON COMPLIANCE.
After the reforms of the Criminal Code (especially the one operated by Organic Law 5/2010, of June 22), which led to the bankruptcy of the traditional Societas delinquere non potest principle, that legal persons may be criminally liable, either for crimes committed by their legal representatives or of fact or of law administrators, or for the crimes committed by those who, being subject to the authority of the foregoing, have performed those same facts because they had not exercised due control over them.
In this way, Compliance or regulatory compliance consists in the establishment of those policies and procedures capable of guaranteeing that a company complies with the applicable legal framework, through the development of management tools and control of criminal and ethical conflicts, and the implementation of compliance programs aimed at assessing the analysis of these risks and, where appropriate, promoting the necessary action plans for their mitigation.
In order to avoid such breaches, LAMAIGNERE has implemented the default prevention model, through the establishment of a system of internal controls, articulated through a set of internal standards, protocols and procedures for identification and risk management.
In this context, the management of LAMAIGNERE has demonstrated its firm commitment to compliance with current regulations and ethical principles, in order to achieve the correct implementation of the model of default prevention. To emphasize, LAMAIGNERE has a team with the appropriate powers and delegations, created specifically to supervise the effectiveness of internal controls of the legal entity.
In that way, LAMAIGNERE shows its involvement and proactivity when it comes to implementing within the entity a culture based on regulatory compliance and business ethics, and on the adoption of policies and mechanisms to prevent, train, detect, mitigate and eliminate attitudes, behaviors and incorrect and illegal actions, which may cause risks of regulatory and operational breaches.
REPORTING CHANNEL.
As an indispensable complement to the Regulatory Compliance Program, in accordance with the regulations that are applicable and the recent Directives of the European Union, LAMAIGNERE has the mandatory complaints channel, open to employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, and any interested party that relates to the entity.
Through this mechanism, LAMAIGNERE receives and manages communications or information formulated on possible illegal, breaches or irregular behaviors that have been known, contrary to the legal system and internal rules of LAMAIGNERE contained in its protocols and codes of conduct.
The reporting channel is absolutely anonymous, although it allows the possibility of the complainant being identified through their personal data. Access to the channel is available on the LAMAIGNERE website, through the following address: https://www.lamaignere.com/es/es/canal-de-denuncias.

Lavin Startups are Growing Rapidly
Profiled below are a few of the Lavin Entrepreneurs that went through our program at San Diego State University and the companies they created.
Kevin Gelfand, ShakeSmart
As a co-founder of ShakeSmart, Kevin has grown the company from a single university location to more than 13 university locations in four states. He founded the company on the belief that people would want a more natural, sugar-free protein laden shake within 30 minutes of working out. ShakeSmarts are strategically located on college campuses near their recreation and athletic centers.
Brian Kidwell, Scotts Cheap Flights
After college, Brian traveled extensively and worked as a digital nomad utilizing his online marketing skills. Through the course of his travels he stumbled across a “cheap flight alert” blog and turned that blog into a SaaS subscription engine to alert people as to where they could obtain and book cheap flights. The company did more than $6 million in revenue at the end of 2018.
Luke Sophinos, CourseKey
When Luke first arrived at SDSU, he was floored to see that as a freshman and sophomore, he was in lecture classes of over 400 students. He could see students were disengaged. So he set out to build a web and mobile phone based platform that allowed university professors to load teaching material to the web-based platform and then use an app on student’s phones to disseminate and interact with students in real time. CourseKey has raised more than $3 million in funding.
Drew Haines, HoursLogger
As someone who excelled in engineering, Drew made money on the side tutoring other engineering students. However Drew’s true passion was coding, not engineering. He taught himself several programming languages and eventually created HoursLogger, an app that allows individuals and consultants to track their time and ultimately create invoices for clients via QuickBooks.
Matt Decelles, William Painter
While in the Lavin program, Matt completed several internships in sales and marketing. As he and the co-founders looked at what people bought all the time and lost, they started to focus on sunglasses. Eventually, they created and patented, unique, and classic sunglasses, made from titanium, with a lifetime guarantee. Oh, and the frames have a “patented hook” to open bottle caps.
Alex Martinez, Real Estate Skills
While in school, Alex took a paid internship with a real estate company that specialized in “flipping” homes. Within the next two years, Alex learning everything about assessing, purchasing, renovating and selling houses. After a few years of doing this, he created his own company that utilizes live workshops and online course to teach other people how to make money in real estate.
Jack Doheny, Bold Brew
Another engineering major who found another calling, Jack’s Doheny’s curiosity led him to the cold brew coffee at its early stages. Along with a co-founder, they started experimenting with making cold brew coffee in their apartment and sharing it with friends. Then they worked with university to sell it on the campus and farmer’s markets. Today, Bold Brew is in more than 200 retail locations and are also sold on Amazon.
Eric Birkemeier, ShredLights
Eric was a film major who joined the Lavin program wondering if he could take his passion for film into a career. While at SDSU, he took an internship helping out a team in the Zip LaunchPad incubator on campus. That team struggled and eventually abandoned the startup which Eric took over. Today, ShredLights will do more than seven figures in revenue and Eric is innovating additional product uses.
Jon Tucker, HelpFlow
Jon was a very curious and passionate Lavin who learned online marketing early in his college career. Studying ecommerce websites, Jon looked for a way to improve the customer experience. HelpFlow combines website software and live chat to sell niche products to targeted clients. Today, he has over 20 employees and most work remotely.
Nick Slettengren, Power Digital Marketing
Nick was a communications major who arrived at SDSU with several years of work experience. Initially a communication major, Nick took a job working in sales with a digital agency specializing in SEO. This experience sparked an interest in digital marketing, leading Nick to found his own company. Power Digital will do more than $10 million in revenue this year.
Jesse Villanueva, Mercato
A motivated student who wanted to find his direction in entrepreneurship, Jesse utilized every opportunity while at SDSU. Participating in pitch fests, in business plan competitions and getting several internships with entrepreneurs, Jesse found his calling. He created Mercato, a food delivery company that has raised more than $2.5 million in funding.
Sean Dreiling, Restoar
Sean was in the Lavin program and worked his way through several sales internships. However one non-business related issue was his acne-prone skin. Sean had battled acne since he was 12 years old and studied possible solutions relentlessly. That pursuit led to the founding of Restoar, a natural facial toner that has had remarkable success in the treatment of acne. Starting at farmers markets, today you find his products on Amazon and his own website.
Greg Crisi, Tip Network
Greg founded Tip Network, a platform that unravels and automates the process of the $40 billion in tips flowing throughout restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, by converting the cash, including credit card tips, into digital currency and provides feedback and insights back to the restaurants throughout the process. After early success, Crisci received an offer to sell Tip Network to another company known as NetSpend and he now serves as its Senior Product Manager of Tips.

Wish-List Five: Sherlock Holmes
Posted on April 20, 2016 by layeredpages
As an avid read and my love for searching for a good read, I have a list several miles long of books I want to get my hands on. A few of my fellow bloggers and I decided to share with our audience those books every month. This month for the five I have chosen on my wish-list are themed. I have always been a big Sherlock fan and I came across some books this week that I can’t believe I have not read! I love that writers have continued to publish stories about Sherlock. His relationships and the people he involves himself with to solve crimes is extraordinary! Let’s get started!
From the gritty streets of 19th century London, the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson offers a tale unearthed after generations of lore: the harrowing story of Sherlock Holmes’s attempt to hunt down Jack the Ripper.
As England’s greatest specialist in criminal detection, Sherlock Holmes is unwavering in his quest to capture the killer responsible for terrifying London’s East End. He hires an “unfortunate” known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper’s earliest victims; and he relies heavily on the steadfast and devoted Dr. John H. Watson. When Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel during an attempt to catch the savage monster, the popular press launches an investigation of its own, questioning the great detective’s role in the very crimes he is so fervently struggling to prevent. Stripped of his credibility, Holmes is left with no choice but to break every rule in the desperate race to find the madman known as “the Knife” before it is too late.
In a Victorian era ruled by a council of ruthless steam barons, mechanical power is the real monarch and sorcery the demon enemy of the Empire. Nevertheless, the most coveted weapon is magic that can run machines — something Evelina has secretly mastered. But rather than making her fortune, her special talents could mean death or an eternity as a guest of Her Majesty’s secret laboratories. What’s a polite young lady to do but mind her manners and pray she’s never found out?
But then there’s that murder. As Sherlock Holmes’s niece, Evelina should be able to find the answers, but she has a lot to learn. And the first decision she has to make is whether to trust the handsome, clever rake who makes her breath come faster, or the dashing trick rider who would dare anything for her if she would only just ask.
In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective’s next adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning — crowds sported black armbands in grief — and railed against Conan Doyle as his assassin.
Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had “murdered” Holmes in “The Final Problem,” he resurrected him. Though the writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle never explained this sudden change of heart. After his death, one of his journals from the interim period was discovered to be missing, and in the decades since, has never been found. Or has it?
When literary researcher Harold White is inducted into the preeminent Sherlock Holmes enthusiast society, The Baker Street Irregulars, he never imagines he’s about to be thrust onto the hunt for the holy grail of Holmes-ophiles: the missing diary. But when the world’s leading Doylean scholar is found murdered in his hotel room, it is Harold — using wisdom and methods gleaned from countless detective stories — who takes up the search, both for the diary and for the killer.
Inquisitive and observant, Dora dreams of escaping her aristocratic country life to solve mysteries alongside Sherlock Holmes. So when she learns that the legendary detective might be her biological father, Dora jumps on the opportunity to travel to London and enlist his help in solving the mystery of her cousin’s ransomed love letters. But Dora arrives in London to devastating news: Sherlock Holmes is dead. Her dreams dashed, Dora is left to rely on her wits — and the assistance of an attractive yet enigmatic young detective — to save her cousin’s reputation and help rescue a kidnapped heiress along the way.
Steeped in Victorian atmosphere and intrigue, this gripping novel heralds the arrival of a fresh new voice in young adult literature.
When Enola Holmes, sister to the detective Sherlock Holmes, discovers her mother has disappeared, she quickly embarks on a journey to London in search of her. But nothing can prepare her for what awaits. Because when she arrives, she finds herself involved in the kidnapping of a young marquess, fleeing murderous villains, and trying to elude her shrewd older brothers — all while attempting to piece together clues to her mother’s strange disappearance. Amid all the mayhem, will Enola be able to decode the necessary clues and find her mother?
There are so many more I discovered so I might have to do another wish list five in the near future of Sherlock reads! -Stephanie M. Hopkins

Glad you enjoyed it, Darius! You made my day! 😀
Just to say that what you do on your blog is so important (as are others obviously) but many people leave comments if they are annoyed – not on your blog obviously! – BUT very few leave comments when they are pleased with something. Keep up the good work.

Great! I love Sherlock too…and love finding new books set in his world. Have you read the Mary Russell books? Those are my ultimate faves! The first one is The Beekeeper’s Apprentice. I have read The Sherlockian and really enjoyed it. The others are new to me…I think. I know I have read at least one with Holmes and The Ripper, but not sure if it is the one you mentioned. Anyhow thanks for these!

HI, L.A.!
I’ve got to read the Mary Russell books soon! I have one of them to read on NetGalley but I am thinking I should read the others before it so I can keep up.
Glad you enjoyed this post! 🙂

Yukon Highways and Public Works
Why Engage?
Your opinion matters to us, and we need to hear from you. Below, there are tabs to ask a question or even map your ideas.
The Alaska Highway through the Hillcrest commercial area is an actively used section in the City of Whitehorse, with commercial, industrial, and residential traffic, as well as pedestrian and cyclist activity. Currently, the number of uncontrolled accesses in this area result in conflicting traffic patterns, and unsafe conditions for all travellers.
The project is scheduled to begin in spring of 2020 and involves closing the current highway accesses, routing onto a frontage road, accessedContinue reading
The project is scheduled to begin in spring of 2020 and involves closing the current highway accesses, routing onto a frontage road, accessed by new signalized intersections at either Wasson Place or Burns Road (there is a discussion!) and an upgraded and signalized intersection at Hillcrest Drive.
The Guiding Principles for increasing the safety of the highway, and how these will be met through these upgrades, are as follows.
decrease opportunities for vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist conflict
reduce the number of accesses to the highway
route local traffic onto a new frontage road
reduced highway speed to 60km/hr
provide safe access on and off the highway
additional thru- lanes
two vehicle-actuated and pedestrian-enabled signalized intersections
designated turning lanes
safe passing around slow vehicles
additional thru-lanes
safe crossing opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists
pedestrian-enabled signalized intersections with designated crossing
long maximum green lights to optimize vehicle gaps and allow time for pedestrians and cyclists of all ages and abilities

Motor Vehicles in Yukon: A Public Health Perspective
This report published by the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health in collaboration with Yukon Government, undertakes multiple analyses using Yukon data to understand motor vehicle collisions and the impacts from a public health perspective.
The report brings together information from hospitalization and emergency room visits, motor vehicle collision incident reports, and roadside data.
The report continues and provides a summary of the main factors influencing vehicle collisions, including intoxication, road conditions, distracted and aggressive driving, to name but a few.

"Until there’s a traffic light ‘we’re not going to stop’: Hillcrest Community Association president"
Hillcrest Community Association petition, tabled in the House on Nov. 8 and signed by 22 people, calls for a traffic light to be installed at Hillcrest Drive and the Alaska Highway by 2020.
The dangers there have gotten worse as more time has elapsed, Shaunagh Stikeman, the association’s president, told the News.
“Right now, there’s no way to get across that highway, unless to do a chicken run and run through the traffic to cross,” she said, noting that she’s seen elementary school children doing so.

Updated Conceptual Drawings
The design team has been busy listening to comments and suggestions, and furthering the design process.
Please be aware, these drawings remain conceptual and remain subject to change and additional detail as the design process continues. It is well understood from our meetings with individuals representing the Hillcrest neighbourhood, that the proposed trail locations may not align with the neighbourhood plans, and we continue to work with the City of Whitehorse, as well as residential, commercial, and industrial businesses in the area to reconcile all the needs of the area.
For clarity, the proposed highway upgrades are presented as three... Continue reading
For clarity, the proposed highway upgrades are presented as three phases, illustrating the process of construction.
Phase 1 - Lodestar to Hillcrest Drive intersection (2020-2021)
Phase 2 - Hillcrest Drive to Burns Road intersection + frontage road (2021-2022)
Phase 3 - Burns Road through to current Range Road project end (2022-2023)
Pedestrian Crossing at Hillcrest Drive
There are numerous factors that influence safety upgrades on the Alaska Highway through Hillcrest, and the safety of pedestrians and cyclists is a key consideration throughout this process.
Presently, this section of highway experiences between 5700 and 7000 vehicles per day (low season and high season respectively). Interestingly, highway traffic volumes are greater south of Robert Service Way, indicating many commuters head into downtown areas prior to this particular stretch of highway.
The current posted speed limit through Hillcrest is 70km/hr, however, over 90% of motorists are speeding through this area, with an average speed upwards of 94km/hr as reported... Continue reading
The current posted speed limit through Hillcrest is 70km/hr, however, over 90% of motorists are speeding through this area, with an average speed upwards of 94km/hr as reported at Lodestar Lane.
It is well-understood that a pedestrian crossing at Hillcrest Drive is a necessity for the safety of all users of the highway. But simply putting a pedestrian crossing without due consideration of the traffic behavior of the area can be more detrimental than the current conditions. Both Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) and the Yukon government have articulated principles for designing pedestrian crossings, and it is these documents that are heavily referenced in the design of the safety upgrades through Hillcrest.
Want to know more about the various options for pedestrian crossings, the benefits and challenges of each?
Please take a moment to read the provided technical memo, and feel free to ask questions to find out more!
What We Heard!
The results of the Alaska Highway User Engagement Survey have been analyzed, and some interesting input was shared by those who participated.
The purpose of this survey was to determine how you wanted to be engaged.... online, in-person, and in what format.
Further, some of the questions sought to determine how you used the highway, as this information influences how you want to be engaged!
The results are available here. Enjoy!
Pedestrian System Connectivity
Ever wonder why different structures and lights are chosen at specific pedestrian crossings? How about the importance of thoughtful assessments of traffic data (operating speed and numbers), a pedestrian’s ‘sense of security’ and driver expectations?
The Yukon Supplement to the Pedestrian Crossing Control Guide is a great resource for many of your questions.
In short, it is recommended that in the vicinity of the airport, a safe pedestrian crossing is at a signal controlled intersection. HPW is using this manual, and a consideration of public costs, to guide the design decisions to maximize safety for all users of the highway.

Welcome, watch or ban: how should cities deal with electric scooters?
The ‘arrive first, ask later’ tactics of scooter hire companies has riled cities around the world – but the tech bros seem to be learning a lesson.

Just four days after dockless electric scooters hit the streets of Omaha, Nebraska, last month, police started to threaten users with tickets for riding on the sidewalk. Instead of zipping along, riders were shown on a local news channel wheeling the Lime hire scooters along the wide pavements of Old Market.
Roundabouts or Intersections? That is the question!
When the volumes on the roadways are relatively equal, a roundabout can reduce delays, because half of the time a full stop would be required.
Roundabouts can increase delays in locations where traffic would otherwise often not be required to stop.
For example, at the junction of a high-volume and a low-volume road, traffic on the busier road would stop only when cross traffic was present, otherwise not having to slow for the roundabout.
In this case the Alaska highway has about 6 times more traffic compared to the airport access and would experience unnecessary delays.
With a four lane... Continue reading
With a four lane cross section a 2 lane roundabout would be preferred for lane continuity, which is more complex for drivers to navigate.

Dating in later life
There are also GL games, which focus on female/female relationships, and BL Games, which focus on male/male pairings.There are many variations on this theme: high-school romances are the most common, but a dating sim may also take place in a fantasy setting and involve such challenges as defending one's girl from monsters.The censored version contains far more endings and new added scenes due to the absence of sexual scenes.Things are getting serious between Kourtney Kardashian and her boyfriend Younes Bendjima!“During a romantic candlelit dinner in the Italian city, Scott popped the question — and Sofia said yes.” The insider continued, "But they want to keep their plans a secret for now.
The term "dating sim" is also often used incorrectly in English as a generic term for romance-driven games (ren'ai games), a subject matter which is stereotypically associated with the visual novel genre.The technical definition of a dating simulation game, known as a romantic simulation game in Japan, can involve several technical elements such as a time limit, several statistics such as looks and charm which can be boosted through exercise, or an "attraction meter" which can increase or decrease depending on one's decisions.Some original-English dating sims include Sim Girls, In a typical dating sim, the player controls a male avatar surrounded by female characters.One game series that often includes dating, with the goal of marriage, is the farming sim series Harvest Moon.The subplot of dating is more focused towards choosing one of several girls or guys (dependent on the player character's gender) and offering them presents or joining them on events in the game.
Dating sims such as Tokimeki Memorial often revolve almost entirely around relationship-building, usually featuring complex character interactions and branching dialogue trees, and often presenting the player's possible responses word-for-word as the player character would say them.

Cloud Round-Up: Alibaba Russian Investment, Google Leadership Swap, and more!
Read Time: 4 minutes read - Author: Quin Palmer
Microsoft Announces Azure DevOps
Lessons learned from more than 15 years of cloud operations investment and learning has lead to Microsoft launching Azure DevOps. DevOps extends over the complete development lifecycle to enable developers to ship software faster and with better quality.
DevOps includes services such as Azure Pipelines, Azure Repos, and Azure Artifacts. The company says this marks the evolution of Visual Studio Team Services or VSTS. They also added that VSTS users will be upgraded into Azure DevOps projects automatically.
Will this be their move into AWS and Google Cloud’s territory on DevOps, two companies that are the main leaders in that field? It will be up to their customers to decide.
Alibaba Teams Up With Russian Tech Giant
Alibaba has just agreed to take a 10% stake, worth about $484 million, in one of Russia’s largest tech players, Mail.Ru Group. Mail.Ru is a prominent Russian internet firm that started out as a simple email service. It also owns Russia’s most popular social network, VKontakte or VK.
This unusual high profile strategic partnership was announced following a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The head of the state owned Russian Direct Investment Fund, a shareholder of this new venture, Kirill Dmitriev said in a statement, “Russ-Chinese cooperation in tech is one of the most promising avenues for bilateral relations.”
The joint venture will provide Alibaba with access to almost 100 million users of VK but also something more. Both companies reside in nations with a history of continued steps to rein in the use of internet by censoring content and controlling access. How will this move affect the push of other major cloud providers in these regions? We will be on the look-out for you.
Google Cloud Picks New Leader for AI
Google Cloud has announced a change in their artificial intelligence leadership. Andrew Moore, the computer science dean at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg, is leaving the academic world to lead the AI program at Google. He will be taking the roll at the end of this year replacing the current leader Fei Fei Li.
Li will be returning to Stanford University but staying on the Google Cloud AI team as an advisor. Google says this reshuffling was always a part of the original plan.
Diane Greene, the CEO of Google Cloud mentioned in a blog post, “Google’s Cloud AI group aims to democratize AI by making it easy, fast, and useful. We believe that if we can get every developer in the world using AI in great ways, we can spurn innovation that will benefit everyone.”
Microsoft Opens Up About Data Center Outage
A couple of weeks ago, Microsoft experienced what in their words was an ‘unprecedented’ Azure outage in the South Central U.S. region. The outage, which affected customers on the VSTS service, required more than 21 hours to recover all facilities. There was also an additional incident regarding an offline database taking an extra two hours to resolve.
The Azure data center went down following a temperature spike in the facility which was later reported to be due to a high number of storms in the Texas area causing power surges. Buck Hodges, Director of Engineering for Azure DevOps, apologized to customers and said the company was exploring the feasibility of asynchronous replication.
Deploying asynchronous replication would solve the problem where data that has not yet been copied across the network a second server might be lost if the first server fails. Synchronous replication, where the first server waits for the second to acknowledge that it has received data, is already available and does solve the problem. But Hodges noted that synchronous replication also has challenges, particularly across regions. We will have to wait to see how Microsoft plans to handle these issues in the future.

As such, you also seem to be using a given interface when making your posts (is it a web interface, i. e. you're doing it via your browser?); certainly, when I'm typing a post as I am now, there's no "small chain link icon"; I'm using the software I've been using for decades for mail, news, and newsgroups (Turnpike - development stopped 2007), and that certainly doesn't have anything like that. What I and Barry (I think) are talking about is the ability to have clickable links appear in notes (event or person) in BK, which currently doesn't exist; it would need JS to implement some extra code, either to automatically recognise URLs (e. g. because they start http or www, or contain two or more dots not followed by spaces) - which IMO would be the preferable way - or the addition of a button or similar to the notes editor.

Hi List In Digests number 49+ received today I noted that all the SPAM and most of the messages are from mid-2019 and appear in BK Rootsweb archives. My apologies to J.P. Gilliver (John). In this batch of "SPAM digests no. 53" is a query I made on 5 Aug 2019 regarding Error Msg -- Invalid Person Number in bReadCode. 0 to which John very kindly replied the same day. However it would seem I never received a Digest with his response until today. So a belated thank you John and yes John Steed did come to my rescue and was able to fix my database for me.

It looks like Ancestry has stopped protecting this list from spam and other malicious messages. I guess it's time for everyone to move to either the Facebook or groups.io BK groups. Or both of them.
children/events of other spouses - and spouse memory (or lack of)
[I just found this in my drafts folder, so I must have written it ages ago, and for some reason it didn't go; I know I've written something similar recently. Adding new mailing list.] I go to the edit page a person (let's say man) with more than one spouse. It shows the events (marriage, family residence places/dates) for Spouse 1, or the children by that spouse. I go to the drop-down list of spouses, and select other than Spouse 1. The events/children relating to Spouse 1 disappear, and those relating to Spouse x appear. I click the Spouse x button, to view/edit something specific to that person. I come back (the "<" button) to the man. It reverts to Spouse 1! Could the >/< "memory" perhaps be amended to remember which Spouse I was looking at/with? Also: it would be nice if, in the children tab, all the children of the person whose name is in Name could be shown - OK, with the ones by other than the currently-shown spouse greyed, or something similar. Similarly for events. (I've not infrequently found I've entered a child or event under the wrong spouse, because I saw they were missing, and didn't realise they were there but not shown because a different spouse was selected. I can't be alone in this!) -- J. P. Gilliver. UMRA: 1960/<1985 MB++G.5AL-IS-P--Ch++(p)Ar@T0H+Sh0!:`)DNAf "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas.

Re: Spouse Order
by David Youse
I see that I am in the minority regarding the subject. My suggestion was made because in almost every case that I have, the Edit subject is buried with the most recent spouse. I've been going through my 14K list and connecting everyone to the FindAGrave records. The records almost exclusively bring up burials of the subject and the last spouse (out of 3000 so far, I've found only three buried with a previous spouse). That's why I said the last spouse is the most important, but it's only from the standpoint of locating burials. If you don't find a burial record of a subject, you click on the most recent spouse and often find your subject with a differently spelled name or nickname.
Re: A suggestion regarding spouse order.
by Malcolm Webb
Yes I agree. For me, the first spouse is usually the most important. And for those where the second spouse needs to be the primary one it can be changed manually.

A suggestion regarding spouse order.
I think it would be beneficial if the listing of multiple spouses on the Edit screen defaulted to the most recent rather than the first. After all, in most cases the last spouse is the one of greatest interest. I know the order can be changed manually but I've had to change the Primary Spouse of over twenty or so from the 1st to the 2nd, or 3rd. Just a suggestion to make life a little easier.

Well I took it upon myself again to create a Brother's Keeper Genealogy Group on the link everyone wanted. Below is the link to find the group...I just created it and they said it will take one day for it to be approved and once approved folks can join it. next I will figure out how to migrate the current BK group over at Rootsweb over to this new one...unless someone already knows how to do this...let me know and we can move our archives over, hopefully. Click onto the below link to be taken to the Group page which from what I understand operates just like we use now via emails https://groups.io/g/BrothersKeeperGenealogy It never hurts to have a lot of access to Brother's Keeper info.

TeamRock: ‘hugely talented….her voice was truly unique, and when you added her abilities on the saxophone, keyboard and recorder to the mix throughout the set, you had a potent combination’
Loud & Quiet ‘gorgeous detail….Liza Bec’s fluttering clarinet flourishes….provide both height and depth’
The Guardian: ‘joyous….ecstatic, burbling flute improvisations‘
Let Liza’s charismatic and eclectic live show intrigue and enchant you! With a live sound reminiscent of Portishead with a touch of Fiona Apple, she will transport you from funk to folk, mixing catchy songs with intricate recorder, sax and clarinet improvisations.
Liza writes short stories embodying the spirit of her songs, included in the vinyl release of EP Beyond the Blonde as a gorgeous insert featuring custom designed graphics by Catalina Velasquez Gonzalez.
She has also collaborated with electronic artist James Holden on his latest release ‘The Animal Spirits’ which was featured on BBC 6music as Album of the Day, co-writing and playing treble recorder on the track ‘Spinning Dance’. She performed with the Animal Spirits on the European festival circuit in 2018.
Liza is currently working on an original audiovisual installation about music-triggered epilepsy, featuring a specially designed electronic tenor recorder with visuals from Dan Tombs (Gold Panda, Jon Hopkins). She was awarded funding for this work by Help Musicians UK Fusion Fund. It will be released in late 2019.
She is available for bookings with full band/acoustic duo and for solo ambient electroacoustic sets on tenor recorder and synthesizer.

Planning Committee Grant Consent for Drive-Thru McDonald’s
Shaun JenkinsTwitter profile of post author: @ShaunMJenkinsCouncillor for Llanishen and Thornhill19th September, 2019 1 min read
Yesterday myself, John and Tom attended the planning committee to speak against the proposals for the Drive-Thru McDonald’s opposite Llanishen Leisure Centre, and down the road from Coed Glas Primary.
Although the proposals breach significant elements of the Local Development Plan, and will lead to increased traffic, the committee voted to grant consent.
Llanishen will now shortly be home to a Drive-Thru McDonald’s wedged between a leisure centre, retirement accommodation and a primary school.
It’s a shame that the importance of healthy eating has no bearing on planning applications. The national policy framework simply isn’t developed in this area (yet), and it means that local authorities are seemingly powerless to do anything.
There is no denying that there are some people who want a Drive-Thru McDonald’s in Llanishen, and others who don’t really care. But Cardiff has enough fast food outlets already. And allowing a McDonald’s Drive-Thru to wander in to the suburbs will likely do more harm than good.
Here’s the video from the Planning Committee:
Please note that that video will be available for approximately 6 months from the date of the meeting.

Planning Committee Grant Consent for Drive-Thru McDonald’s - Read More
UPDATE: Unfortunately the Drive-Thru McDonald’s was granted planning permission on 18 September, 2019.
McDonald’s Application: Site Visit on 9 September
Shaun JenkinsTwitter profile of post author: @ShaunMJenkinsCouncillor for Llanishen and Thornhill1st September, 2019 1 min read
In August I attended the planning committee with residents to ask for a site visit about the proposed new Drive-Thru McDonald’s on the old Harvester site on Ty Glas Ave. I am pleased to confirm that the committee agreed to the site visit and will be coming to site on 9 September.
If you are a local resident and are concerned about this proposal, then please come along on 9 September to show your objection. The more people who express their concerns, the greater the will of the local community will be heard.
If you are free on 9 September, please pop down to the site to show your support against this proposal.
– Shaun Jenkins, Councillor for Llanishen & Thornhill
What is a site visit?
A site visit is when the committee visits the site before making a decision on a planning application (or in this case, applications). It’s an important element in the planning process and the committee may see things on the site, that were not made clear in the application, or in the planning officers’ presentation to them at committee.
Can I attend the site visit?
Yes, anyone can attend the site (or the surrounding area, if the site is on private land), but only ward Councillors can directly address the committee whilst they are on site.
To find out more or if you would like to discuss any other local matter please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Plans Set Out For HMRC Site
Shaun JenkinsTwitter profile of post author: @ShaunMJenkinsCouncillor for Llanishen and Thornhill8th August, 2019 2 min read
The HMRC site has been part of Llanishen for 50 years. It’s a huge site, with a footprint bigger than Rhiwbina Garden Village. With HMRC vacating the site in the next year or two, the company that owns the site (Mapeley Estates), has unveiled a master-plan for what they would like to do with the site once HMRC leave.
Myself and ward colleagues were recently invited to the planning consultancy firm, Lichfields, at their Cardiff office, to learn about the plans for the HMRC site, when HMRC vacate it.
This site is so expansive that any changes to it will change the feel and character of the area. It’s important that the site makes the area even better, and that the community is given a fair chance to have its say.
The plans include knocking down the 16 storey main tower, and converting Gleider House (the smaller tower) in to 142 flats. The plans also include 195 homes, a care facility and older people’s accommodation.
Here’s the document we were provided at the meeting which gives an overview of the plans:
HMRC Proposal (PDF)
We’re been informed that this plan is illustrative, and that based on feedback, it may change.
At the moment I think there’s lots of work to do to ensure the site integrates with the wider area, and takes inspiration of some of the best bits of Cardiff North, like the beautiful rural architecture dotted around Llanishen, and Rhiwbina Garden Village.
You can share your views by filling in our form here, and we’ll pass them on to the planning consultancy.

Heol Hir Road Narrowings Removal Consultation
One of our election pledges in 2017 was to get the road narrowings on Heol Hir removed. And we’re delighted to confirm that the Council has recently been successful in securing funding to get them removed (find out more about the funding here).
Further to this exciting news, the Council is embarking on a consultation to hear the views of local residents about what will replace the narrowings.
The Council will be writing to all residents within close proximity of the narrowings, and you can see what the Council is planning to put in place of the narrowings, below.
In place of the narrowing at the top of Heol Hir, the Council is planning to put a table.
In place of the narrowing at the bottom of Heol Hir the Council is planning to put a table with a zebra crossing.
If you would like to share any views about the plans you can email [email protected], or write to: Planning, Transport and Environment, Room 301, County Hall, Cardiff CF10 4UW.
After the consultation, the Council will put together a Consultation Report, and work will proceed to the detailed design and implementation stages.
We’re looking forward to getting the road narrowings removed in 2020!

Homebase Llanishen Closing Down
Shaun JenkinsTwitter profile of post author: @ShaunMJenkinsCouncillor for Llanishen and Thornhill21st May, 2019 1 min read
Homebase Llanishen will be closing down this summer, with discounting at the store starting tomorrow.
Homebase, which announced 42 store closures last year as part of a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) struck with creditors, has used a break clause on the lease, with dozens of jobs set to go.
No doubt this news has come as a shock for workers at the store and it’s vital that Homebase helps all affected staff find new work over the coming months.
There are rumours that a house builder has purchased the site and are set to submit a planning application in due course.
I’ll keep you posted.
UPDATE (NOV 2019): The rumour about a house builder purchasing the site doesn’t appear to have come to fruition and the site is now home to a B&M Bargains.

Highly-regarded Ipswich track official Des Johnston is retiring from international duty after serving at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. David Lems
Dedicated Des deserves a final cheer
by David Lems
18th Apr 2018 3:30 PM
ATHLETICS: Ipswich track and field official Des Johnston retires from international duty having witnessed high drama, experienced Aussie fervour and achieved many goals.
While he was indirectly involved in Australia's 4x400m relay team disqualification at Carrara Stadium, his lasting memory from the latest Commonwealth Games will be the Aussie fans.
"I think the high point for me was the crowd,'' Johnston said.
"Irrespective of some days there weren't any more than about two-thirds full (in the stadium), there was tremendous support of all the athletes there.
"There was a huge, upbeat feeling in the stadium throughout the eight days of competition.''
Johnston was part of the athletic program every day and night of the Games, in his important role as a track umpire.
Asked where he was positioned during the sessions, he replied: "Here, there and everywhere''.
"I was usually behind the start or past the finish line in that maze of camera people,'' he said.
"For the 200, I was mostly on the bend and watching for lane infringements and things like that. The same with the 400s.''
He was nearby when the Aussie 4x400m relay team was disqualified in the heats "for the fact that the athlete changed his position on the order line of the changeover''.
Johnston had to record the infringement, which was reported by another track official.
While disappointed to see that happen, Johnston said the track rules had to be followed.
Johnston said a highlight was seeing emotional Aussie Brandon Starc leap over the high jump bar to win gold.
"The place just erupted,'' Johnston said.
"Just watching athletes give their best is what I do the sport for. It was great.''
He accurately noted the difference between Commonwealth Games and Olympic competition.
"It's chalk and cheese,'' he said. "Because the standard, while it was high (at the Gold Coast), didn't have the superstars from America and these other huge European countries.''
In Sydney, he was working when Cathy Freeman strode to a historic victory in the 400m final, sending the Games stadium crowd into euphoria.
"It took about 25 minutes for the crowd to stop erupting and then (American) Michael Johnson came out and duly won his 400,'' Johnston said.
After decades of being involved in elite sport, the Ipswich official was immensely proud to have shared in the Gold Coast excitement.
He praised the Aussie fans for maintaining their fair-minded reputation.
"Aussies love going and watching sport and they don't care where you are from,'' he said. "They'll give you the support you deserve.''
Having a 60 year association with athletics, he was honoured to be invited to the Opening Ceremony.
The long-serving Ipswich and District Athletic Club former president, coach and track official read the oath on behalf of officials.
He delivered his part standing alongside four-time Australian Commonwealth Games lawn bowls medallist Karen Murphy (on behalf of the athletes) and Australian netball coach Lisa Alexander (on behalf of coaches).
"I got excited . . . very proud,'' the Flinders View resident said, ruling out any nerves on the international stage.
"They heard a little shake in the voice on one word but other than that it was fine.''
As for the controversial Closing Ceremony, Johnston stayed until the end, not getting back to his hotel until nearly midnight.
"It was there to be enjoyed as a musical thing,'' he said of the ceremony.
"I enjoyed it. I would probably agree that maybe they could have done things differently but that's the decision they took and they have to live with that.''
He could understand the concern over the athletes not being shown entering the stadium.
"There were a lot of people walking out,'' Johnston said.
But when it was all over, he celebrated his final Commonwealth Games experience with a well-deserved beer.

Girl power goodies to help celebrate Women's History Month
Get your girl power on with pro-women phone cases, subscription boxes, and more.
Image: uncommongoods/society6/mashable photo composite
March is Women's History Month and we are celebrating TF out of strong, independent ladies (okay, we do that every month, but right now it's fancy and official).
At first, there was just a Women's History Week from March 2 through March 8 (now International Women's Day) but in 1987, Congress officially decided that women are too badass for just one week and declared the entire month of March to be Women's History Month.
SEE ALSO: Dia & Co is the body positive subscription box you've been waiting for
This year, a light has been shed on women's issues, the fight for equality, and the end of sexual harassment more than ever: With the #MeToo Movement serving as encouragement for women to share their stories and the Time's Up Movement taking action to create positive changes for women everywhere, women from Hollywood to small towns across the country are making it clear that enough is enough.
In honor of Women's History Month, we're surrounding ourselves with as much pro-female gear as possible.
Check out these totally girl power gift items, subscription boxes, and books to celebrate yourself or the strong, independent women in your life. And remember: That strong woman you need could be you.
"Woman Card" Playing Deck
Image: uncommongoods
During the 2016 election, Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton of playing the "woman card" — to which she responded "If fighting for women's health care, paid family leave, and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in!" Yes, girl.
This 52-card playing deck lets you play the "woman card" — literally. Cards sport illustrations of important female figures from the 18th century to current day including Sacagawea, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Sojourner Truth. The Ace is Hillary Clinton, the first and only woman to be a presidential nominee from a major party and the King is Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress.
Grab some wine and amp up your next girl's night by snagging the Woman Card Deck for $20 here.

Ain't I a Woman by bell hooks
Image: south end press
If you've taken a sociology course on gender or race, Ain't I a Woman by bell hooks has probably come up. hooks hits hard on intersectional feminism, which looks at the inequality women face past gender, like race, ableism, and sexual orientation.
Titled after Sojourner Truth's Ain't I a Woman speech, this classic piece of feminist scholarship goes beyond the surface of "girl power" by discussing the feminist movement during slavery: how being black and being a woman caused black female slaves to face the most prejudice of all, and how racism toward black women ran rampant among feminists.
Snag this must-read for Kindle or a physical copy here, with prices starting at $15.37.

Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman, by Anne Helen Petersen
Image: penguin random house
Chosen as one of NPR'S Best Books of 2017, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman is a fresh and brilliant take on the loud, difficult woman who is no longer taking shit from anyone.
Anne Helen Petersen takes an analytical look at how women like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj push the limits of what society deems "acceptable" (and why it's not their job to be a role model for your kid). Through the lens of feminism, Petersen looks to the women of Hollywood who challenge double standards to spark a conversation about cultural norms, sexual harassment, and gender equality — all in perfect timing with rise of the Time's Up and #MeToo movements.
Get your copy for Kindle, as an audiobook, or a physical copy here, with prices starting at $12.99.

Bossypants, by Tina Fey
Image: little, brown and company
Another must-read is Tina Fey's Bossypants, an autobiographical comedy about her rise to stardom before 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live, and Baby Mama. She dives into her struggles with things that most women are all too familiar with: Society's idea of physical beauty, sexism in the workforce (the TV industry in her case), and being called "bossy" simply because you're not the submissive woman the society wants you to be. If nothing else, there's no way a Tiny Fey book won't be hilarious.
Grab this New York Times bestseller for Kindle, a physical copy, or an audiobook with Tina Fey herself as the narrator here, with prices starting at just $4.

A woman accused of causing a crash that left a 10-year- old girl dead had more than just alcohol in her system.
That's according to an officer who took the stand today at a hearing for sequoyah collins.
Abc 36's christy bollinger is in the studio with our top story at five.
In court, we learned sequoyah collins isn't only accused of driving with a blood alcohol level nearly triple the legal limit...but she's also accused of having cocaine in her system on the night of that july 5th crash.
Collins is accused of drinking and driving over 80 miles per hour...running a red light...and wrecking at the intersection of tates creek road and landsdowne drive.
That crash killed 10-year-old alexia gomez hernandez.
We're also learning new details about the driver of the car hernandez was in.
In his testimony today, a lexington police officer with the crash reconstruction unit said that driver didn't have a license.
"he also did admit to drinking previously in the night but he said he stopped drinking approximately two hours before the collision."
Officers found no signs of impairment so they didn't give him a blood test.
According to police testimony, there were also more people in the backseat than there were seat belts...and though the surviving passengers say they were wearing belts...police say they couldn't prove that because the car was so damaged.
Collins' attorney asked the judge for a lesser charge of manslaughter...to reflect his client didn't mean to hurt anyone.
But the judge kept collins' murder charge...and the case now heads to the grand jury to see whether there's enough evidence to formally charge her.
In studio, christy bollinger, abc 36 news.

Failing to provide adequate warning of potential hazards.
Failing to correct or remedy the dangerous situation that existed at the site.
The family's attorney tells us they feel like enbridge failed to keep people safe... and they want the company to take responsibility for it.
"it's not something that just happens.
It's something that happens of result of years of neglect or years of ignored warnings and we have no doubt that those are the things that occured here."

Manhattan Car Accidents with Emergency Vehicles
Posted on February 10, 2019 in
Crashes Between Emergency Vehicles & Passenger Vehicles in Manhattan
Collisions between a passenger car and fire trucks, ambulances, police cruisers or other emergency vehicles can cause devastating injuries. These emergency vehicles are racing to the scene of an accident and the driver’s adrenaline is rushing as they speed toward their destination. In doing so, they may inadvertently collide with an NYC bicyclist, motorcyclist, trucker or pedestrian and cause an accident.
What are the Causes of Collisions Between Pedestrians and Emergency Vehicles?
If you speak to a Manhattan Pedestrian Accident Lawyer they will likely tell you that the reasons for crashes between emergency trucks and pedestrians vary widely. However, some of the more common reasons include error on the part of the ambulance driver, such as drowsy driving, texting while driving, or failing to drive defensively.
If you are injured as the result of an accident with an emergency vehicle in Manhattan, contact Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. P.C. to schedule a free case evaluation with a Manhattan Pedestrian Accident Lawyer.
Do Manhattan Emergency Vehicles Need to Meet any Requirements?
The answer is YES! Operators of emergency vehicles must comply with guidelines and if they fail to do so, it may help your case and hurt theirs. A lot of states require that operators of emergency vehicles:
Have the appropriate insurance coverage in force;
Have undergone proper training and engage in continued education in this regard;
Maintain the proper licensure and have their driver’s license with them while driving;
Regularly submit to random drug and alcohol testing.
Who is Liable in a Manhattan Accident Involving an Emergency Vehicle?
It is not always easy to prove fault in an accident involving an emergency vehicle in Manhattan. While it is the general rule that operators of motor vehicles must yield to oncoming emergency vehicles, as long as the emergency vehicles have their lights and sirens on – an auto’s failure to yield does not necessarily mean that the auto driver will be held 100% liable for the collision. Liability in an accident involving an emergency vehicle will largely depend on all of the circumstances surrounding the crash. Was the driver of the ambulance, although rightfully hurrying to the scene of the accident, driving overly aggressively or texting while driving?
Emergency Vehicle’s Reckless Disregard
The New York Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1104(e) states that the operator of an authorized emergency vehicle, such as a fire truck or ambulance, has a duty to drive with due regard to the safety of all pedestrians, motorists and cyclists. If the driver of an emergency vehicle acts with reckless disregard for the safety of others, they will not be afforded the protections of the immunity provisions of NY VTL 1104.
If you have been involved in a Manhattan car wreck with an emergency vehicle, contact Manhattan Car Accident Lawyer Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. at 212-518-2095.
Michael Redenburg
In over a decade of legal practice, Attorney Michael Redenburg began his career defending cases for the clients of insurance companies. Initially defending no-fault claims at a Long Island-based law firm, he then moved on to a Manhattan-based firm where he defended the clients of insurance carriers in auto accident and premises liability matters.

The Press-News column Oct 1
By Mike Yardley • October 4, 2013
Drink-drive limit debate.
As the police pile the pressure on the government to lower New Zealand’s drink-drive limit, Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee has retaliated in vintage form, essentially telling the police to butt out. Brownlee has brusquely reminded the police brass that their job is to enforce the law, not decide what the law should be. But the government seems stuck to be a state of denial about their own limp-wristed wimpitude towards drink-driving. The 80mg per 100ml of blood limit is stonkingly lenient, giving a lot of numbnuts a free pass. The average male has to guzzle about six standard alcoholic drinks within 90 minutes, to hit the limit. This is not drink-driving, but drunk-driving. Lowering to the limit to 50mg, as Australia has done, would still allow the average male to consume two standard drinks within an hour, and a further drink for every subsequent hour, and remain under the tougher limit. For women, it would be one drink per hour. If the government isn’t prepared to disqualify people from driving who breach the 50mg limit, perhaps a compromise solution is to introduce a two-tier drink-drive system, whereby if you breach the 50-80mg limit, first offenders are fined and clobbered with demerits. What do you think?
Repair standard.
There is a bewildering level of disagreement amongst the legal eagles, as what repair standard the EQC is obliged to follow, when fixing people’s homes. Lane Neave’s Duncan Webb, writing in The Press yesterday, argues the obligation is to repair to a reasonable “as before” standard. Yet, Anthony Harper’s Simon Munro, is adamant that the EQC must repair to an ‘as new” standard. Munro is currently soliciting hundreds of expressions of interest from homeowners, keen to be part of a group action against the EQC. The legal action would seek to secure a declaratory judgement from the High Court clarifying and confirming the standard of repair the EQC is obliged to meet, via the Fletcher’s programme. Some of the current fish-hooks that are causing nightmares for homeowners relate to being forced to accept a cash settlement, who is responsible for the replacement of old wiring, partly damaged foundations, weather tightness issues and raising foundations to comply with new flood hazard area requirements. Simon Munro believes the EQC must be forced to implement the legal standard of repair of “ as new, modified to comply with applicable laws.” Wherever the legal truth may lie, a declaratory judgement is desperately overdue, given the deep-seated concerns about inadequate repairs. Lianne Dalziel has confirmed to me, that upon becoming mayor, she will support the city council undertaking the legal action on behalf of residents, to seek clarity from the courts, if required.

The best example of this was his Oysters with Nahm Jim ($3.50 each) - the oysters were from Coffin Bay, and despite Nahm Jim itself being a bold flavour, you can still taste and enjoy the oyster's briny taste.
We chose their banquet menu ($62/head) which may sound expensive, but with 11 courses, plus a shared dessert platter (with three amazing tiny taste sensations each on it), I feel it is Sydney's best value degustation!
Perhaps my next favourite dish was called Mahor ($8/4 pieces) - tiny serves of caramelised pork, prawns and chicken served on pieces of fresh pineapple. The sharp fresh pineapple set off the sticky sweet surf,turf'n'feather mix a treat!
I enjoyed the Miang ( $18.00/4 pieces) of grilled prawns with the zesty tang of pomelo and peanuts, but I have had similar dishes that match it before.
What was totally new to me however was the Spicy Salad of Salted Cashews ($16.00) flavoured with loads of fresh chilli, and lovely kaffir lime. It was a taste sensation - and as a person who has long picked out every single cashew from any dish (as they are a favourite), it sure was nice to have more cashews than I could finish... I hit 'cashew-ed out'!
As I understand, it was based upon an authentic Thai salad - I have just never encountered it before. But the addition of the sweet cabbage was pure Max Mullins, and he is right on the money with the flavour balance.
The Seared Mussels and Thai basil with Sriracha ($18.00) taught me that Sriracha can be tasty as well as 'burn-your-face-off' hot. A very good dish, and the fresh Thai basil was well employed in it.
We had a multitude of mains which arrived simultaneously. The best for me was the Son-In-Law Eggs ($9.00/2 pieces) and the gorgeous caramelised pork you can see in the image above with the coiled snake beans. The photo is of two dishes. On the LHS you can see Lon of Prawns ($29) which is a soup like dish of fresh prawns in coconut cream with green papaya, and you eat it wrapped with the sticky sweet pork in one of the available greens.
On the RHS you can see the Nahm prik ($27) which is also eaten wrapped - this time with cabbage and cucumber. The soupy concoction itself is a hot and sour relish of Smoked Trout. Both of these dishes were good, but they didn't quite match the 'wow' factor of his amazing entrees (except in the sweet pork and the eggs as mentioned).
At this point the dinner deteriorated into the world of too many tastes, but suffice to say, there wasn't a dish I didn't like. I revived slightly with dessert to recall to photograph the Dessert Sharing Platter ($18/ 2 people).
The best piece of dessert was the sensuous square of pandanus and coconut in agar... slippery, cooling, and seductively tasty. I was also into the sauce that came with the fritter - caramel and sweetened condensed milk made it a sugary delight. The shot glass had a coconut cream covered chocolate mousse with candied kumquats, which was an unusual combination... it was all very good.
I highly recommend this little restaurant, especially because they don't have a freezer - yes folks, all fresh, every day... you can't beat that. Plus it's nice, in a suburban and comfortable kind of way, decorated with style (that hasn't yet dated), warm friendly service, and in a place where it is easy to park. Their wine list is good, with reasonable mark-ups too, and a few specials worth checking out on the blackboard.
If you think you might be bored with Thai, take a chance and see if Oceanic Thai might change your mind... it changed mine!

Steve Jones confirmed as Channel 4’s Formula 1 presenter
March 8, 2016 March 12, 2016 David Nelson4 Comments
Steve Jones will be presenting Channel 4’s coverage of Formula 1, it has been confirmed today. Jones succeeds Suzi Perry as lead presenter of Formula 1 on terrestrial television in the United Kingdom, Perry having presented BBC’s coverage from 2013 to 2015.
The appointment of Jones will come as a surprise to many Formula 1 fans given his lack of experience in presenting sporting events. As revealed though on the site, Jones has been widely expected to become lead presenter since late January. Channel 4 are going down the same route as they took with their American Football highlights coverage in 2013. In that instance, the corporation hired Vernon Kay as lead presenter.
Jones has had a long relationship with Channel 4, dating back to the early 2000s when he presenting their children strand T4 from 2003 to 2010. Since then, Jones has had stints with other broadcasters, such as presenting Let’s Dance for Comic Relief on BBC One and The X Factor USA on Fox. In recent years, Jones has returned to Channel 4, presenting Young, Free & Single: Live and My Kitchen Rules: UK.
Inevitably, there will be people who see the appointment of Jones and instantly write off Channel 4’s coverage of Formula 1. It may remind readers of Melanie Sykes’s failed stint of presenting BT Sport’s MotoGP coverage, in that both did not present sport before their respective motor sport stints. What Jones will have on his side is that the Australian Grand Prix is a highlights weekend for Channel 4. As I discussed last month, Australia will be a dry-run for the whole team, it will be an opportunity for Jones to get used to presenting Formula 1 without the pressure of live television.
I think, in the very least, Jones should be given a chance. Just because Sykes did not work out in MotoGP, it does not mean Jones should be dismissed as Channel 4’s Formula 1 presenter. I’m optimistic that it will be successful. As always, time will tell but Jones has an experienced team of Formula 1 experts around him, including David Coulthard to help guide and steer the ship.

Markmag says:
As well as Vernon and steve, another former presenter of T4 has of course gone onto C4 Sports presenting – Rick Edwards – who has done well on Paralympics coverage (and was one of the names being considered for the presenting role according to this site).
Val Knight says:
We are ardent fans of F1 and watched the Australian Grand Prix. I’m afraid Steve Jones did not do it for us. Suzi Perry had a lot of knowledge of F1 and the rapport between her and David and Eddie was noticeable. What is it having all men on the screen? Yes I know you have Suzi Woolf and Lee but the three men for us was a no no! I know he’s handsome but I as a woman get the feeling he knows it! I would just like to know WHY you changed the format? I shall give it a couple more goes but we are not happy with the change!
elaine benning says:
Cant understand why on earth a sport inexperienced presenter . steve jones. would be chosen as formula 1 presenter. He is so annoying and knows nil about F1. Would be lost if he didn’t have his tablet. Is this just another case of making fun of the welsh by allowing this fool on our screens.!! and how does David Coultard put up with him referring to him as ‘DC’!
I had my doubts about Jones’ appointment but decided to see how he performed. Now, at the end of the 2018 season, my first impression of a pompus, posing peacock hasbeen confirmed. With so many F1 experienced presenters why was this person signed up. Please C4, time for a change.

Behind Building the Apatosaurus for ‘Jurassic World’
Behind Building the Apatosaurus for Jurassic World
Director Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic Jurassic Park was beloved for many reasons, one of which was the use of practical effects to bring many of these iconic dinosaurs to life. For the record-breaking blockbuster Jurassic World, several of those same tactics were used, along with plenty of CGI, and today we have a look at how Legacy Effects used practical effects for the massive Apatosaurus. In what many are calling Jurassic World|'s most touching scene, Legacy was asked to bring a gentle giant to life. Go behind the scenes with the Legacy team as they use both new and traditional methods to create an animatronic Dinosaur!
The scene in question has been shown in the trailers before, set after the massive Indominus Rex escapes its captive environment. Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) come across the massive Apatosaurus, who is near death after a vicious attack. This video shows how Legacy built the head and the neck for this dinosaur in a seven-minute video that takes fans behind-the-scenes.
Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitor's interest, which backfires horribly. Take a look at this featurette for more insight into how this incredible dinosaur was created for Jurassic World.

Nathan spans the musical generations with this score. Set in the mid 90's he uses the sound of that era as a baseline bringing it forward into current. The viewer doesn't realize it's his soundtrack that has them gripping the armrest as the movie transistions into the second act. Thanks Nate for another exceptional soundtrack to go with Looper!

Dakota Access Pipeline Maintains Commitment To Land Restoration
One of the most important aspects of pipeline construction is mitigating the impacts of removing soil from agricultural land. In a state like Iowa, where agriculture and agriculture-related industry dominates the economy, it becomes even more crucial. That’s why the Dakota Access Pipeline has contracted leading land impact, mitigation consultants, Key Ag Services and Duraroot, to craft plans for construction and operation that will minimize the impact on farm operations all along the pipeline route.
All plans for the pipeline are expected to, at minimum, meet federal and state requirements for mitigating land impacts, but in many cases Dakota Access Pipeline has implemented construction plans to exceed these regulations. From soil conservation, to stream crossings, and extensive environmental analysis, the critical protection of our environment is a must for all infrastructure development, and we believe that Dakota Access has sufficiently met these challenges.
Reflecting on the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Next Chapter for the Bakken
In 2014, North Dakota began permitting discussions for the Dakota Access Pipeline. Now, after over two years of discussion, permitting, and construction Dakota Access is nearing completion. This 1,172-mile infrastructure project was designed to transport Bakken crude oil to a hub in Patoka, Illinois. There it will be distributed for consumption by Americans across the country. This first critical pipeline infrastructure link […]
As Dakota Access Nears Completion, America Still Needs Pipeline Infrastructure
In recent weeks, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers handed down the final easement needed for the Dakota Access Pipeline to cross Lake Oahe in my home state of North Dakota. The pipeline is just days away from becoming operational. While legal battles will likely continue to be waged, court rulings to date have consistently […]
Dakota Access Oil Line Outlasts Protests, Readies for Service
In the end, the pipeline won. Dakota Access, which became a rallying point for tens of thousands of anti-fossil fuel and Native American-rights protesters, is preparing for service, a court filing on Monday showed. Now that the last segment built underneath Lake Oahe has been filled with oil, it’s only a matter of time before […]

Personalized genetic age table for Maddie
How are Maddie's ancestors represented in her DNA?
DNA is inherited in pieces, called chromosomes, that are passed along from parent to offspring. Each generation, these chromosomes are broken up and shuffled a bit in a process known as recombination. So, the length of the segments your dog shares with her ancestors decreases with each generation above her: she shares longer segments with her mom than her grandma, longer segments with her grandma than her great-grandma, and so on.
How does Embark know which breeds are in Maddie?
We can use the length of segments Maddie shares with our reference dogs to see how many generations it has been since they last shared an ancestor. Long segments of DNA that are identical to known purebred dogs tell Embark's scientists that Maddie has, without a doubt, a relative from that breed. By testing over 200,000 genetic markers, we build up her genes one DNA segment at a time, to learn the ancestry with great certainty. Other dog DNA tests look at many fewer genetic markers and have to take a guess at breed ancestry based on that.
What does this mean for Maddie's looks and behavior?
Look closely and you'll probably find Maddie has some physical and/or behavioral resemblance with her ancestor's breeds. The exact similarity depends on which parts of DNA Maddie shares with each breed. Some traits associated with each breed are listed in the Breed & Ancestry section of our website. Embark will tell you even more about Maddie's traits soon!
For Maddie we have been able to go further, and identify some of the breeds that we think may have been part of her heritage and have contributed to the Supermutt portion of her genome. We cannot be sure, given how little of their DNA has carried down to Maddie, but we thought you might like to know our best guess anyway!
“Maddie is a rescue what was born in foster care. She was adopted then returned 3 days later because the couple broke up!! So she fell into our laps and we can't be happier. We are told she looks like a Chessie or Nova Scotia Duck Toller. Mom looks like a Pit/Choclate lab mix.”

Maddie’s Haplogroup
This female lineage was very likely one of the original lineages in the wolves that were first domesticated into dogs in Central Asia about 15,000 years ago. Since then, the lineage has been very successful and travelled the globe! Dogs from this group are found in ancient Bronze Age fossils in the Middle East and southern Europe. By the end of the Bronze Age, it became exceedingly common in Europe. These dogs later became many of the dogs that started some of today's most popular breeds, like German Shepherds, Pugs, Whippets, English Sheepdogs and Miniature Schnauzers. During the period of European colonization, the lineage became even more widespread as European dogs followed their owners to far-flung places like South America and Oceania. It's now found in many popular breeds as well as village dogs across the world!
Maddie’s Haplotype
Part of the large A1b haplogroup, we see this haplotype in village dogs in over 25 countries across the world. We have detected this haplotype in lots of breeds, and it occurs most commonly in German Shepherd Dogs, Maltese, English Springer Spaniels, and English Setters.

A1b is the most common haplogroup found in German Shepherds.
The Paternal Haplotype reveals a dog’s deep ancestral lineage, stretching back thousands of years to the original domestication of dogs.
Are you looking for information on the breeds that Maddie inherited from her mom and dad? Check out her breed breakdown and family tree.
Paternal Haplotype is determined by looking at a dog’s Y-chromosome—but not all dogs have Y-chromosomes!
Why can’t we show Paternal Haplotype results for female dogs?
All dogs have two sex chromosomes. Female dogs have two X-chromosomes (XX) and male dogs have one X-chromosome and one Y-chromosome (XY). When having offspring, female (XX) dogs always pass an X-chromosome to their puppy. Male (XY) dogs can pass either an X or a Y-chromosome—if the puppy receives an X-chromosome from its father then it will be a female (XX) puppy and if it receives a Y-chromosome then it will be a male (XY) puppy. As you can see, Y-chromosomes are passed down from a male dog only to its male offspring.
Since Maddie is a female (XX) dog, she has no Y-chromosome for us to analyze and determine a paternal haplotype.

That Roundhouse
Tony Wrench
Hello. Welcome to That Roundhouse. This is an ecohome of wood frame, cobwood and recycled window walls, straw-insulated turf roof, with solar power for electricity, compost toilet and reed beds for grey water. We designed and built it over the winter 1997/8, and it was turned down for planning permission several times. After several court appearances, we decided to demolish it over Easter 2004, but changed our minds after demonstrations of huge public support in its defence. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority attempted to get a court injunction to force us to demolish it, but were persuaded to allow it to stay up until July 2006, when we can re-apply under their new Low Impact Policy. Please browse around this site. Plenty of pictures, history and updates.

They specialize in selling copper-based tools for gardening. Copper is a diamagnetic metal, and thus it does not interfere with the fragile magnetic energy of the soil - steel and iron however do affect the soil in a detrimental fashion.
Jane Cobbald is also the author of the forthcoming book
"Viktor Schauberger: A Life of Learning from Nature" (releasedate 26th october 2006)
Jane Cobbald has given us permission to display her Implementations.co.uk -flyer .pdf on our pages, and we are extremely grateful for that.

The New Bronze Age
Copper doesn't rust
Copper is known to deter slugs and snails
The tools are hard-wearing and will last for years
Our tools have sharp edges, and they stay sharp
Copper causes less friction than iron or steel, so the soil slides off our tools
About the tools
Our tools are hand-made in Austria by craftsman coppersmiths. The blades are made of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, and then hand-beaten to harden them. Other parts are made of brass and other copper alloys. The staffs are made of European hardwoods - ash, beech and lime. The longer tools are European length - longer than we are used to in Britain, allowing a comfortable, upright working posture. The resulting tools are hardwearing, practical and beautiful.
We sell the tools at garden shows and other events around the U.K. To check if we will be at an event near you, have a look at our Events Diary.
On the Viktor Schauberger page, you can find out about the Austrian inventor whose work inspired the development of our tools, and how to find out more about his life and work.
As copper is not the usual choice of metal for garden implements you may wish to read more about it on the Copper page.
The Results page contains a sample of the comments from our feedback folder. It also has some extracts from our garden diary of 2001, our first year of using the tools.
One startling result that we found, was that plants cultivated with our tools are less attractive to slugs and snails. We have investigated what may be the reason for this on the Slugs and Snails page

Astrology of 8/9 – 8/15: The Simmer Between Eclipses
We are in the midst of eclipse season. The lunar eclipse has already occurred and we are heading toward the solar eclipse in Leo August 21. This week, we see a lot of goddess asteroid astro, we enter the last quarter phase of the Moon cycle, Venus aspects Mercury, Neptune and Pluto, and the Sun aspects Jupiter and Saturn. It’s busy! But a common theme I can highlight is the submerged rising: Venus is opposite transformation/underworld planet Pluto, Mercury is backtracking, and Ceres (which includes the myth of Persephone and Hades) is active. While that’s on simmer/boiling this week, the Sun in Leo aspecting Saturn reveals some momentum for aligning our reality with our vision. And, with all these introspective themes of the week, our vision may itself deepen as we gain inspiration on how to set it into reality.
If you’d like to receive these weekly forecasts to your inbox every week, sign up for my mailing list here.
Here’s our week:
Mercury in Virgo sextile Venus in Cancer: 2:03 AM PDT
A good time for relationship housekeeping. It may naturally come up or you can ride the support of this transit and your intuition and have necessary conversations and check-ins with people you love.
Mercury will be tightly conjunct asteroid Vesta and Venus will also be tightly conjunct an asteroid, Ceres, at the time of this alignment. Vesta has to do with sacred space, ceremony, ritual, while Ceres constellates the Demeter-Persephone-Hades myth – which is a multifaceted archetype including grief, the loss of innocence, the enjoyment of the loss of innocence, and searching for what is lost. Which goes to say, that encounters with others can bring us inner-messages about ourselves which are underworldly in nature.
Sun in Leo sextile Jupiter in Libra: 2:24 PM PDT
The Sun in Leo is also conjunct Mars and the North Node.
Added luck and abundance when we pursue teamwork even in an area of life where we feel totally confident and brave enough to do something ourselves. Additional opinions can add to the creative process and help us from going overboard in a way that we are personally blind to.
The wisdom of listening and engaging and playing with the energies of other; not leaning too much on Leo qualities of performance or showing off and then wondering why no one stayed after the “show”.
The romantic, playful qualities and opportunities that arise when we really listen. (Jupiter in Libra has been teaching us this for a while, too.)
Venus in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces: 10:18 PM PDT
(Image: David Rice)
Venus is now directly conjunct Ceres, which makes the Neptune-Ceres trine present as well.
The propensity to have illusions about the past, such as things being far better or far worse than they were. A deeply emotional tint to memory at this time.
The potential for spiritual clarity around repeating relationship patterns, when we realize that in our memory the same situation or the same person has continued to appear and we are now just able to see a new facet of this.
The realization that certain situations or people which trigger deeper emotional responses than the occasion seems to call for is a way that we constellate old grief (that we can pinpoint, such as an event we remember) or past-life oriented grief (more muddled, confusing sources of grief)… that there are deeper psychic reasons for why things get a hold on us.
Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo: 6:01 PM PDT
Mercury stations retrograde still in a tight conjunction to asteroid Vesta, who has to do with the sacred, ritual, and sacred containers in general. Here in Virgo, and as Mercury goes retrograde, it can be time to review the way we have been discerning and articulating our realities. Mantra meditations can be a powerful tool for re-programming the mind in a desired direction.
Take note of where you are feeling hypercritical (about yourself and others, and usually the two are inseparable). It would not be unusual for this to get pointed or emphasized at this time. The energy of criticism, when acted upon, can be a source of crisis because the fundamental energy going into the action is to fix something that is inherently bad or lacking. In the same way that some muscle pain showing up does not mean to go and get surgery, but instead learn some exercises or learn how to do a strenuous activity that you’re already doing with better alignment, same goes for the things we are feeling extra critical of right now. We may register more emotionally heated or extreme ideas about how to handle something just because of how sharply the problem/crisis strikes us.
In Virgo, showing up and taking it step-by-step is key. In some areas of life we are only going to be able to see the steps, the micro focus, and that is okay. Being perfectionist from the start makes it hard to do anything at all, and procrastination or neglect ensues.
Sun in Leo trine Saturn in Sagittarius: 2:06 PM PDT
Remember that you can use infrastructure, and real decisions, to support your vision and creativity. That your ideas are abstract until they aren’t. Even the use of props, like physical items or articles of clothing that resonate with your vision, are magical tools here.
This transit speaks to a harmony between work and play. Not even necessarily like they are compartmentalized things, but as energies that are fused together. One way that it goes is “serious play”, like taking the rules of a game seriously; taking the constraints of a creative act seriously as to allow something to blossom. The other way it goes is fun work, like having enthusiasm and playful attitude about things that are otherwise boring and mundane because you can see how they do support you. If on the other hand, things seem dull and inane to you, it may be a symbol that your creativity/passion is hungry and needs time and space made for it.
This is part of a larger alignment, the grand trine between Saturn, Uranus, and the Sun— also the upcoming solar eclipse in Leo will play with this grand trine. It may be important to recognize how innovation and creativity go together, and that to really support our creativity we often do have to take some liberties. We have to feel free enough inherently, or free from social conditioning. Integrity and respect of natural law is still very important and relevant. Is there something that sparks your excitement but then you think, “No, but I can’t do that,”? Is the restriction here wise or is it the result of some kind of conditioning that is not relevant for you?
Last Quarter Moon in Taurus: 6:15 PM PDT
This is our last lunar week before the solar eclipse and new moon in Leo on August 21! Eclipse season heightens emotions and the last week of the lunar cycle is a time where our energies can seriously wane! (Just like the Moon) This means take it easy if you can, and when you are called to more strenuous tasks, to give yourself ample support like good food and hydration, sleep, etc. If you’re not already accustomed to tracking your energy and mood levels according to the moon cycles, you may want to know that the last week of the lunar cycle, with its propensity for waning energy, is a good time to not take your lack of energy to mean something about you permanently.
A last quarter Moon in Taurus can speak to a critical shift in a theme around self-worth. With the Sun in Leo as the focal point, this may have something to do with our talent, creativity, our general enthusiasm for life. Taurus has to do with how we open ourselves up to receive. That to enjoy life, have nice things, enjoy our relationships, etc. we have to be open to our inner world, to our sense of deserving, to our willingness to receive. If there is a place in life where you are burning hot and expending a lot of energy (or you’ve reposed and given up) but nothing is really coming of it, consider if the next point in shifting this is an inner-game, not an outer one. Taurus can be tantric like this. Can your inner world expand, can you choose to feel inherently worthy rather than putting conditions on it that are out of reach?
Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn: 4:13 AM PDT
Pluto is conjunct Black Moon Lilith and Venus is still conjunct Ceres. Ceres and Black Moon Lilith form an opposition.
Situations may arise or on an intellectual/emotional level it can also arise, that patriarchal conditioning has done a deep disservice to the world of emotions and emotional relating with others. We might feel this tension in our relationships, where conditioning is getting in the way of vulnerability and genuine relating.
As friends to Lilith know, you cannot really intellectually argue the points of feminine wisdom to someone who is not receptive to hearing or listening to it. And often, the patriarchal argument is supported by structures in society and recent history. This can be a source of emotional pressure-cooking this week, the way in which feeling and tenderness is at odds with history and historical structures of power, and how that can seep into relationships even where love is there.
When there is not support or safety, the turn toward secrecy. The way that a reveal of emotion, personal preferences, or oneself in general is an act of trust, moreso for people who are somehow not of the norm.
The power and magnetism of playing with gender, exploring the anima/animus, integrating the projected qualities of another gender into one’s own identity, or however one needs to – more fully embracing one’s gender identity.

Shelly Donahue sat at the white plastic table on a white plastic chair outside the Excelo Bakery shop on Water Street. She was eating a “wicked” sandwich — so designated on a hand-lettered placard — consisting of sprouts, tomato, avocado, two kinds of cheese, and Green Goddess dressing on herb-flavored foccacio bread baked on the premises. Her own designation of it was “messy but interesting;” as in, “Will you make me one of those messy but interesting veggie sandwiches?” Shelly would not add a sandwich to a list including murder and child abuse.
She also had a cup of cranberry juice, not further designated.
She was feeling frazzled, and looking a trifle frazzled as well; her hair was coming out of its bun and tendrils of it were lifted up here and there by a cool, vagrant breeze. An all-day pre-school session was underway, and there were new laws and regulations to master, new textbooks (one with several errors of fact) to study, and a new principal full of new ideas. And retirement was twenty years away.
But the morning’s harsh edge was being smoothed away by a bit of friendly gossip. She was sharing her table with Irene Potter, a fellow needleworker, who was not drinking her coffee and was pulling fragments off a poppy seed muffin with her lean, nimble fingers in lieu of eating it.
Irene’s shining dark eyes encouraged Shelly to go on with what she was saying.
Click here to see this pattern.
So, “You know, you’d hardly think they were sisters at all,” Shelly continued. “Margot’s such a dainty little thing, so sweet and … and … oh, I know the word’s not considered nice anymore, but she’s a lady. A real lady. Betsy’s nice too, don’t get me wrong. But it’s not just that they don’t look very much alike; I mean, that sort of thing happens in any family that doesn’t marry one another’s cousins. But Betsy’s … ” She paused to think of the right words. “She’s … more so,” she said with an air of having at last put her finger on it. “You should have seen her lighting up for Hudson Earlie Saturday night. And Hud was putting the move on her — you know Hud — but Margot couldn’t say anything right there in front of him.”
“Yes, we all know Hud,” said Irene, waggling her eyebrows.
“But did you know Margot hired Betsy to work in the store?”
“She did?” Irene had worked a few hours in Crewel World, and wanted to work more.
“And Betsy doesn’t know anything about running a store, or all that much about needlework, for that matter. She asked the dumbest questions.”
“No!” said Irene, gratified.
“Yes. But she’s trying really hard to pick up on things. And she’s fun to have around, she really seems to like talking with the customers. She sold a whole lot of yarn to this woman by asking her questions about knitting, it was so funny to watch.”
Irene chose to ignore that good news. “I hear she used to live in San Francisco.” Her expressive voice turned the name into a synonym for depravity.
Shelly shrugged eloquently. “Yes, she mentioned that. And London, and New York. As if none of us ever go anywhere. She’s been married a few times, too. But no children.” Her face was disapproving of both those facts, though she herself was divorced — once — and had no children.
Irene said, “Of course, Margot never had children, either. Though I always understood it was Aaron’s fault.” They shared a slightly different expression this time, then smiled to show it was all just in fun.
Shelly glanced at her watch, made an exclamation. She stood and began gathering the remnants of her meal. “Lunch break’s about over. I have to get back.”
“Yes, you only get forty-five minutes, don’t you?” said Irene, also rising. Her job as supervisor in the shipping department of a local manufacturer wasn’t as prestigious as Shelly’s, but they gave her an hour for lunch. “So,” she went on, walking Shelly to the trash barrel, her voice hopeful, “if Betsy doesn’t know much, it seems Margot will still be in the market for a part-timer to help out in the shop?” Irene Potter’s ultimate goal in life was to own a needlework shop, and meanwhile to gain full time employment in Margot’s. Shelly’s news about Betsy’s arrival made her despair for even the few hours of part time work Margot would grudge her.
Shelly, secure in her summer hours in Crewel World, smiled. “Probably not, but why don’t you go talk to her? Meet Betsy, too. Maybe you two would get along. Got to run. Bye-bye.”
Irene stood on the sidewalk in the bright sunshine, staring after her. Irene had a tendency to see everyone as a rival or potential rival, so Shelly’s parting remarks gave her an idea that was positively brilliant. Know thine enemy, that was Biblical, wasn’t it? Or was it Shakespearean? Never mind, if she went over there and made friends, then she might see how to sabatoge this Betsy person. Who, after all, knew next to nothing about clerking in a needlework store, while Irene knew everything; that might nullify the blood connection.
She hurried to scoop up the remains of her muffin and the styrofoam coffee cup and toss them into the trash container. She dusted crumbs off with her napkin, then inspected herself in the window of the bakery. Dark slacks, white blouse, gray vest hand-crocheted by herself with cotton thread in a pineapple pattern, and her favorite earrings, shaped like tiny scissors. She patted her dark curly hair, cropped close to her narrow head. She looked neat and competent. She smiled at the reflection, admiring the whiteness of her teeth. Perfect!
She rose onto her toes before stepping off in the direction of Crewel World, a mannerism she had seen in a musical once and copied whenever she was feeling ebullient. She had twenty minutes left of her lunch hour, time enough to get there and start making friends with her new rival. What fun!
Betsy sat behind the big old desk that Margot used as a checkout counter. Her lower lip was sucked into her mouth and held there by her incisors. In her hands were two metal knitting needles and a ball of cheap purple yarn. Open on the desk was a thin booklet that promised to teach her how to knit in one day.
The reason her lower lip was being held in place was that doing so prevented her from sticking her tongue out.
Betsy considered herself very coordinated physically. She could ride, she could shoot, she could thread a needle on the first try. Back when her hair was long, she’d taught herself to French braid it down the back of her head without looking. But knitting was different.
“Casting on” she could do. She’d cast on twenty-five stitches, as instructed, and on the second try done it loosely enough that knitting was something she now could also do, after a fashion. She’d proved that by doing about an inch of knitting.
But purling was not possible. The needle went through the knitted stitch, apparently as illustrated, and allowed itself to have a bit of yarn wrapped over it, but it wouldn’t capture and bring through the purl stitch. Not without the aid of a third hand, which she didn’t have.
Not that she could see why anyone wanted to purl anyhow. It looked like the same thing as knitting, according to the illustration, except up and down instead of across. Which is why it was impossible. One knitted from one side to the other, not upward.
Could it be some kind of secret knitters’ thing? They let outsiders try and try to purl while they, the cognoscenti, the in-crowd, the clique, rolled on the floor snorting and giggling. And after a week or two allowed as how there was no such thing as purling. Sure, it was just a hazing thing they did to people who wanted to join the knitting fraternity — er, sorority. Though Betsy knew there were men who knitted. Sorternity?
Wait a second. If she tucked the end of the empty needle under her arm — Rats, for a second there she thought she’d got it.
She gave up and went back to knitting, slowly easing the needle through, wrapping the yarn, lift-twist-tipping it back, slipping the old stitch off.
She remembered how her mother would sit and watch television or her children play in the park, while her hands, as if with an intelligence of their own, moved in a swift, compact pattern and produced sweaters, scarves, and mittens by the yard.
And she’d watched Margot do the same on Sunday evening up in the apartment.
While here she struggled slowly, stitch by stitch. Still, she was actually knitting. If she kept this up, in a year she’d have a potholder.
Margot hadn’t watched television while she knitted, but talked with Betsy. Of course, there had been the odd pause while Margot counted stitches — knitters were forever losing track, it seemed — but on the whole, Margot had been able to keep up her end.
Evenings had been very comfortable up in that apartment. They’d done lots of catching up — though now she thought about it, Betsy had been allowed to do most of the talking, about Professor Hal (the pig), and the cost of living in beautiful San Diego (the sunlight in April on the white buildings and the endless sussurant crashing of the ocean, the dry, harsh, beautiful desert), and the big El Nino of ’97 spoiling things.
Margot had said El Nino had even reached as far as Minnesota that year, giving them a very mild winter. Betsy, recalling the news footage of snow up to the eaves of Minnesota houses, decided that mild temperatures were a relative thing. Was she up to a Minnesota winter, she who could not knit well enough to produce a pair of mittens? Maybe she should be on her way before the hard freeze set in.
She had asked, “Is living in a small town like it is in the books, everyone knowing everyone else’s business?”
Margot had replied, “It is harder to be anonymous, because there is only the one main street where everyone shops, so even if you don’t know someone’s name, you recognize the face. It’s like when you take the bus to and from work; you don’t know the people who ride with you, not really, but you recognize their faces. And if someone’s been absent for a few days and then gets on with his leg in a cast, you might express concern, even ask him what happened, as if he were a friend.”
Betsy had nodded. Okay, living in a small town was like sharing a commute. She could do that. “And if you get really sick of small town living there’s Minneapolis and St. Paul down the road — and hey, there’s the Mall of America, right? Is it as big as they say? How often do you go there?”
“About as often as you visited the Statue of Liberty when you lived in New York City.”
“But that was different! You go, you climb, you look out, you go home. At the Mall of America you can … shop.”
“That’s true. I went when it first opened, and I’ve been back, I think, twice. No, three times, twice to take visitors and once because they have a specialty shoe shop. You wouldn’t believe it, but I’m hard to fit.” Margot had stuck out a small foot complacently. She counted stitches for a bit, then continued, “But you know, there’s so much stuff there, a great deal of it stuff you don’t really need, like dried flower arrangements and personalized scents for your bath. To be so rich that you can shop as a form of recreation is … sinful. Yet people come from all over the world to entertain themselves by buying things they don’t really need.” She moved her shoulders. “It makes me ashamed somehow.” She stopped to count stitches again, and then twinkled over at Betsy. “I know, you want to go glut yourself in all that shopping anyhow, be sinful for a day. Okay, maybe a week from Wednesday?”
And while they had continued talking, about movies and books and whether or not President Clinton was amoral or immoral, Margot’s hands performed the same compact dance as Mother’s had, and before they stopped to get ready for bed, the sweater she was knitting had become longer and developed a braid pattern.
So if Margot and Mother could do it while talking, by gum Betsy could do it while concentrating. She bit down on her captured lip and sped up to three stitches a minute.
She was concentrating so hard that when the door made its electronic sound, she jumped and dammit, the needle slipped and pulled out of about seven stitches. Before she could figure out what to do, a bony, ice-cold hand covered hers.
She glanced up and saw a stick-thin woman with short dark hair that stuck up in odd-looking curls all over her little head. Like Betty Boop, thought Betsy. Except the face wasn’t Boop’s merry square, it was long and narrow, with deep lines from nostril to mouth. The eyes were dark and intent. The woman suddenly showed bright, patently-false teeth, and Betsy wanted to back away, but was held by the icy grip.
“M-may I help you?” Betsy asked.
“No, my dear, may I help you?” said the woman in a chirpy voice that rang as false as the teeth.
“Help me what?” asked Betsy.
“With what you are doing,” said the woman, the smile slipping a trifle, looking pointedly at the knitting and back at Betsy.
“Oh, this. Why, do you know how to knit?”
The woman laughed a genuine laugh. “Of course I do! I know how to do every kind of needlework there is, except sewing canvas into sails. What seems to be the problem with your knitting?”
With a small effort, Betsy managed to free her hands. “It’s not the knitting, exactly. It’s the purling. I just don’t get how to do it. And anyhow, I’ve spoiled what I was doing, pulling the needle out.”
“Oh, that’s easy to fix.” The woman took the knitting from Betsy’s hands and deftly rethreaded the stitches onto the needle. “See? Now, to purl, you hold the needles like this,” she said, putting them together in what Betsy was sure was the same way she herself had held them while trying to purl. “See, you go through like this, come around like this and off, and through and around and off, and-through-around-and-off.” If she’d continued as slowly as she’d begun, Betsy might have learned something. But she repeated “through and around and off” faster and faster while her hands worked more and more vigorously, until she’d done the row. Then she handed the needles back to Betsy. “Now you try it,” she said briskly.
Betsy took the needles, turned the work around to begin the next row and tried to remember where to poke the empty needle through the first stitch. It went in front, she remembered that, but was it through in the same direction as the filled needle was pointing, or the other way?
“Here, dear, let me show you again,” said the woman impatiently, starting to grab at the needles. Betsy lifted her hands, trying to keep possession.
Bing, went the electronic note as the door to the shop opened.
The woman turned toward the door, and Betsy pushed back from the desk, rising.
It was Jill Cross, the police woman, this time in uniform, looking even taller and broader, probably because of that odd hat police officers wear and the thick belt around her hips, laden with gun and flashlight and handcuffs. She looked very authoritarian, and Betsy was glad to see her. But the other woman was already out into the aisle, one hand lifted in greeting.
“Good afternoon, Officer Jill!” she gushed, touching Jill familiarly on the upper arm. “What are we buying today?”
“Good afternoon, Miss Potter,” nodded Jill swinging her elbow forward to free it. “Hi, Betsy,” she added. “Did that ultra suede order I put in come?” Jill took off her hat, exposing her ash blond hair, pulled back into a firm knot.
“Let me just check,” fawned Mrs. Potter.
“Wait a second, Irene,” said Jill, “Margot’s trying to bring Betsy up to speed on running the shop; so let’s let her find the order for me.”
Irene obediently halted and turned towards Betsy, a malicious gleam in her eyes.
Betsy began trying to think where Margot kept incoming orders.
“Shall I show you?” asked Irene.
“No, I remember now,” said Betsy, and looked in a cardboard box on the floor under the desk. When she came up with the small package, Irene Potter’s superior smile turned into something scary. It may have been a desperate attempt at a broad smile, but there was menace in it. Then she whirled and fled from the shop.
“Is … is she all right?” asked Betsy.
“Irene? Sure. Well, maybe she’s a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic. She wants to open her own needlework shop someday. It’s possible she’s been hoping Margot would die of something so she could buy this place. The town isn’t big enough for two of them.” Was there a faint smile on Jill’s face?
“So why doesn’t she move to a town that doesn’t already have a needlework shop?”
“Because her ancestors were among the first settlers out here, and she would never think of moving away. But now you’re here, and it would be too much to hope that both of you die.” The smile showed a bit more clearly.
“Both … ” Betsy hardly knew where to begin her response to that. “She thinks I’m going to take over the shop?”
“She probably thinks you and Margot are going to run it together. At the very least, you have put her out of any chance at part time work here. She just doesn’t realize she hasn’t a prayer of succeeding on her own, even if this place closes. I mean, would you go into a store a second time to buy something from her?”
Betsy grimaced. “She isn’t dangerous, is she?”
“No, of course not. Don’t go getting weird ideas. The only thing she’s crazy about is needlework. She’s actually tremendously talented at it. Museum-quality, most of it; she routinely takes first prize in any contest she enters. Her problem is, she was never properly socialized. A few years ago, Irene begged and nagged until Margot hired her to teach a class, but Irene has no patience with people not as talented as she is, and every one of her students had quit by the fourth lesson.”
Betsy nodded. “Yes, she was trying to show me how to purl when you came in, but wouldn’t slow down enough for me to catch on. Now let’s see if I remember how to open the cash register.”
A few minutes later, Betsy was handing over the correct change. “Where’s Margot?” Jill asked, pocketing her money. “I’ve got a question for her.”
“Upstairs having a bowl of soup. She’ll be back any second; do you want to wait?”
“I can’t, I’m on patrol. Tell her I’ve got a pair of tickets to the Guthrie, and my boyfriend went and switched shifts with someone so now he can’t go. Ask her if she wants to come with me.”
A new voice asked, “What’s the show?”
They turned; it was Margot, coming in from the back.
“‘The Taming of the Shrew.'”
“Oooooh,” sighed Margot. “When are the tickets for?”
“Tomorrow. I know Wednesdays are your day off, so I was hoping you could make it.”
“The Guthrie!” said Betsy, remembering. “I’ve heard about the Guthrie. It’s been written up in national magazines, hasn’t it? It’s supposed to be a great place to see good plays. I’d forgotten it was way up here in Minneapolis — or is it in St. Paul?”
“Minneapolis,” said Jill, and for some reason there was disapproval again in her voice.
Margot explained, “Minneapolis and St. Paul don’t like being mistaken for one another. Jill, I’m sorry, I can’t go. I promised to make a presentation at our city council meeting about next year’s art fair Wednesday evening. Debbie Hart’s going to be out of town and I promised her I’d do it. I’m really sorry.”
“Yeah, well, maybe another time. Though I hate to see this ticket go to waste.”
“Why don’t you take Betsy?”
“Me?” They looked at her and Betsy tried to explain the tone of voice that had come out in. “I mean, I like Shakespeare very much, but if this is a grand production, you don’t want to waste that invitation on someone you hardly know. Surely another friend … ”
But some signal must have run between Margot and Jill because the latter said, “Betsy, you’ll have to take a look at what passes for the big city in this part of the world sooner or later. Might as well be tomorrow. So let’s make a night of it; we can have dinner at Buca’s, and you can tell me how awful Italian food is in the upper midwest. Then we’ll go see how badly our legitimate theater compares to the stuff on the Great White Way.”
Betsy took a breath to say no, but Margot had that look that meant she was hoping Betsy would not be rude, so Betsy turned to Jill and said only a little stiffly, “Well, I’ve only seen one Broadway production, so I hardly think I’m qualified to compare the Guthrie to the Great White Way. But on the other hand, I lived just two blocks away from the best Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, so I’ll be glad to come sneer at what the upper midwest dares to call Italian food.”
Margot laughed, but Betsy wasn’t sure Jill was amused. After she left, Betsy asked, “Margot, do you really have to go to a city council meeting?”
“Yes, why?”
“I’m grateful for the ticket, but I’m not sure Jill and I will get along.”
“Oh, nonsense. I’m sure once you get to know her, you’ll like her very much.”
“Well, there’s no need to go out of your way just to be nice to me, when I’m guessing you’d really like to go.”
“You’re right, I would like to go, but I really do have to attend that meeting. The art show is one of our biggest annual events, thousands of people come here for it, and advance planning is very important. Anyway, I enjoy being nice to you.”
“Then I thank you very much.”
Margot went behind her desk to check Betsy’s entry of the sale to Jill. Betsy followed, asking, “Margot, what are your plans for me?”
“I hope you aren’t planning on my being here forever.”
“I haven’t, but all right, I won’t. Why?”
“Irene Potter was in here a little while ago, and she’s very strange. Then Jill came in and when Irene tried to wait on her, Jill said to let me do it, and when I did it right Irene gave me a look that nearly froze my earlobes off.”
“Oh, Irene just has this problem about being nice. She tries, but she doesn’t know how.”
“No, listen. Jill says that Irene knows you are going to teach me how to run the shop. It seems Irene has her eye on this place, and she’s scared you’ve cut her out entirely by giving me her job.”
Margot grimaced. “Hardly. I only hire Irene when all my other part time help has flu, broken legs, and brain concussions.”
Betsy insisted, “Margot, I think Irene Potter seriously hates me.”
“How can she hate you? She doesn’t know anything about you.”
“She thinks I’m taking something that should be hers. And if she hates me for taking her job, I bet she hates you for giving it to me.”
But Margot wasn’t listening; she was examining Betsy’s knitting. “This is very good, Betsy. The knitting is fine, but this row of purling is really well done!”

Robin McAuley & Michael Schenker_by Frank C. Duennhaupt
Says Schenker, “It’s a miracle that after all these years, a tour like this will take place with the original band members of “M.S.G.”. Being able to go back to those days and celebrate the music is an exciting experience for us, as well as for old and new fans. To being able to re-experience, and for the new audience to get a feel of what it was like, is incredibly enjoyable.”
“It’s an amazing feeling to have all of my M.S.G. Family from the ’80’s performing together and especially with Graham Bonnet, who I never got to play any concerts after our Assault Attack album that was originally released in 1982. Fortunately, being able to have the participation of original M.S.G. members including Gary Barden, Chris Glen (bass) and Ted McKenna (drums) being part of it, and to perform with Robin McAuley and Steve Mann (guitar, keyboards) again as well, is pretty awesome.”

Learn Hebrew with Natasha Shabat
Hebrew Comes Alive
The Moon and the Month
Look upward and see the almost-full moon. When the moon becomes completely full, you’ll know it’s the 15th of the current Jewish month. Right now we’re in the month of Heshvan.
Or, just remember that in the Jewish calendar the new moon is always the new month. In fact the Hebrew noun for “month” is HOdesh, and the Hebrew adjective for “new” is haDASH. Their shared linguistic root is perfectly obvious.
The new moon/month is always occasion for a Jewish holiday. It’s called Rosh Hodesh in Hebrew, literally “head of the month.” (Recall that Rosh haShanah means “head of the year.”)
Paradoxically, the English word “month” comes from the English word “moon,” and yet they are not (any longer) tied together. Can you look up at the sky and be able to tell that it’s October 18?

Tishrei 30: Everything You Do Matters
Have you ever stopped to think that everything you do matters?
Today is the last of our 60-day spiritual journey. Today’s theme for contemplating, journal writing, and awareness, is “Everything You Do Matters.” Quoting from Rabbi Jacobson:
“In Jewish mystical thought, space, time, and matter are understood to be forces of Divine energy — sparks that fell to earth at the time of Creation, which became embedded in all aspects of existence; these sparks must be elevated in holiness for the world to achieve perfection as per the Divine plan.
This is why the little things you do in life are sometimes more important than the big things — the journey is sometimes as or more important than the final destination: going to work, people you meet on the way there, the cup of coffee you drink while waiting for the bus, the piece of paper you throw in the trash can — all are changed by your actions.”
I wish I could remember this wisdom more constantly. It’s not that I don’t believe it — it seems powerfully true. But sometimes when things are hard, or I have to make difficult choices, I forget that everything I do matters. When I’m fortunate enough to remember (or read about it!), life feels better. More complicated, perhaps, but in a good way. It really does require stopping to think about. I hope it matters that I’m posting this today.
It’s a new moon. Tishrei is over. Heshvan is beginning.* Time to move on, and try to remember: every little thing matters.
Hebrew vocabulary:
*Heshvan = a month of the Jewish calendar
mar = bitter
This new month is sometimes called Mar Heshvah, which means “bitter Heshvan,” because it has no holidays in it.
(or Mar Heshvah, which means “bitter Heshvan, because it has no holiday

Recommended Text Book for Biblical Hebrew
The First Hebrew Primer, Third Edition: The Adult Beginner’s Path to Biblical Hebrew, by Simon, Resnikoff, and Motzkin. EKS Publishing.
This is the text book I’ve used most for teaching Biblical Hebrew to adults over the past thirteen years. It’s useful to students ranging from rank beginners to advanced, whether you’re studying on your own, working one-on-one with a tutor, or participating in a group class. NOTE: This is not a hard-core serious grammar such as one might study in a university context; rather, this text is aimed at adults studying Hebrew part-time, who have only a few hours per week to devote to it.
This book starts at the very beginning, with the Hebrew alphabet. Eventually, over the course of 30 chapters, it provides the advanced student with instruction regarding five of the seven binyanim (Hebrew verb structures), all two and a half tenses of Hebrew verb conjugation, guided readings through the Book of Ruth, and lists of the most-used vocabulary in Biblical Hebrew.
It’s not perfect, but then no Biblical-Hebrew text book is. My students keep asking me to write one myself, based on the way I teach; maybe I’ll do that soon. In the meantime, this is the existing text book I recommend most.

Last Three Days of the Jewish New Year Journey
Click to get free emails about the 60-day journey
The first time I read 60 Days: A Spiritual Guide to the High Holidays, by Rabbi Simon Jacobson, it was summer 2006. I followed his suggestions for thinking hard about my life, my personal goals, and how to enjoy the Jewish new-year season more deeply. I made lists, wrote in my journal every day, read the daily essays, asked myself the daily questions, and did my best to do the daily exercises. It changed my life! And I learned a lot about the Jewish holidays, too.
Anyone can still sign up for Rabbi Jacobson’s free emails about the 60-day journey, even if you haven’t been following along over the past 57 days. Just click on the image of the book.

Tishrei 27: Four Days Left in the Journey
Finished-off sukkah after post-holiday storm.
The setting of this evening’s sun ushered in the 27th day of Tishrei, which means there are four days left of our 60-day spiritual journey through the months of Elul and Tishrei, including the Jewish High Holidays. Perhaps your sukkah was vulnerable enough to be destroyed by a post-holiday storm. The mahzorim (High-Holiday prayer books) have been packed away, the Torah rewound back to the beginning. Winter’s coming, it’s time to get back to work.
But don’t let go of your spiritual travels of the past two months! It’s not too late to reflect on the Eternal Moments you may have experienced, even record them in writing. The task before us now is to draw in all that Divine energy we felt during the holidays, let it fill us, and turn our inspiration into action. There are blessings to be said, people to be loved, Hebrew to be learned, a broken world in need of our help.
Judaism teaches us not to abandon the material world or separate ourselves from it, but rather to transform every “mundane” thing into a holy one.

The National Humanities Center is pleased to announce the appointment of 38 Fellows for the academic year 2018-19. These leading scholars will come to the Center from 15 US states, as well as from Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Chosen from 556 applicants, they represent humanistic scholarship in African diaspora studies; American literature; anthropology; Asian studies; classics; English language and literature; environmental humanities; ethnomusicology; feminist, gender, and sexuality studies; film and media studies; history; history of art and architecture; indigenous studies; philosophy; and religion. Each Fellow will work on an individual research project and will have the opportunity to share ideas in seminars, lectures, and conferences at the Center.
The Center will begin accepting applications for the 2019–20 academic year on July 1, 2018 with a deadline of October 17, 2018. Details about NHC fellowships, including application instructions, are available here.
These newly appointed Fellows will constitute the forty-first class of resident scholars to be admitted since the Center opened in 1978. Robert D. Newman, president and director of the National Humanities Center, said, “These scholars are conducting vitally important work across a wide range of humanistic fields. We are delighted to provide them support and look forward to their arrival.”
The National Humanities Center will award a total of $1,400,000 in fellowship grants to enable scholars to take leave from their normal academic duties and pursue research at the Center. This funding is provided from the Center’s endowment; by grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Henry Luce Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities; and by contributions from alumni and friends of the Center.

At final major, Tiger Woods looks like a guy with a fused spine who flew across the Atlantic
Woods looked at best sluggish and rusty as he prepared for Northern Ireland's first Open Championship in 68 years
James Corrigan
Two hours after his private jet touched down, Tiger Woods was on the first tee here taking his first trip around Royal Portrush and while the fans were ecstatic at last to have the icon in town — as the atmosphere builds for Northern Ireland’s first Open Championship in 68 years — his body language did nothing to ease the fears of all those who believe something to be amiss in his preparations for the season’s final major.
Playing 18 holes in the company of Patrick Reed, his Ryder Cup partner, Woods looked at best sluggish and rusty and at worst completely out of sorts, wrapped up in three layers, while the locals walked around in polo shirts.
As a 43-year-old man with a fused spine who had just travelled overnight from Florida, perhaps this was nothing out of ordinary and when talking to reporters — albeit in weary tones — he maintained that the absence of a warm-up tournament since last month’s US Open is a positive rather than the negative that the likes of Padraig Harrington have signposted.
“The break is always great for my golf, especially now,” Woods said. “I told you guys last year I wouldn’t be playing as much this year, and it’s going to turn out that way.”
Harrington, the Europe Ryder Cup captain, expressed his belief that “if you’re serious about winning the Open you’ve got to be playing tournament golf beforehand” and Woods’s schedule does not inspire confidence in him being match fit for Thursday’s first round of the 148th Open Championship.
It has been decidedly top-heavy and would suggest that everything was geared towards the Masters — where he, of course, won his first major in 11 years — and not much thereafter.
Irish golfer Padraig Harrington speaks during a press conference at St Andrews in Scotland, on July 12, 2010. Harrington said that if you’re serious about winning the Open, you’ve got to be playing tournament golf beforehand — the opposite of which has been suggested for Woods. Postmedia Network
Up to and including Augusta in April, Woods played six tournaments in the first 12 weeks of his campaign — and in the 12 weeks since he has played three tournaments. The discrepancy works out at 25 competitive rounds compared to 10. Woods missed the cut in the US PGA and then finished tied ninth at the Memorial before a tie for 21st at the US Open four weeks ago.
Immediately after Pebble Beach, Woods embarked on a two-week holiday to Thailand, with his mother, Tida, children, Charley and Sam and girlfriend Erica Herman. Quite understandably, his priorities were not his profession as he showed his offspring his mother’s homeland.
“We had the greatest time,” Woods said. “Sam’s birthday was over there. We rode elephants, went on a safari, visited the islands. It was an experience. Especially since my mom’s health is diminishing and we’re not sure how many times she can do this.
“They understand the culture there a little bit more, the things they didn’t really know about. It was pretty cool for them to experience that at such a young age.
“I just helped with them. I knew from being over there, I knew the culture, I was raised with it. The only thing I didn’t try was the spicy food. Not happening again.”
He was similarly restrained when it came to his game. “Zero,” Woods replied when he was asked how many shots he hit on vacation. “The clubs stayed in the travel case, like I told you guys, I wouldn’t touch them. I didn’t do a damn thing. I putted as soon as I got back and then built it up from there.”

Even with two weeks’ full practice under his belt, Woods is adamant he will be ready and just needs to learn the subtleties of this 7,344-yard links over the next three days.
“There is a lot of movement; a lot of decision off the tees, angles,” he said. “With the wind switching and coming out of the south in the future, a lot of these shots we hit today are useless.
“Trying to figure out what lines to take, what lines to take on, what lines not to take on. And then these green complexes are so complicated, you have to miss the ball in the right spots.”
Reed said all the right things about his round with Woods. “This was kind of normal for a Sunday before an event,” he said. “We have a long way to go getting ready, but there are a lot of days in between.
“With all those flights and you get here and in the afternoon you lie down, there is not much mobility and you stiffen up and slow down
“Today instead of grinding on the driving range and hitting a bunch of balls, it was about going on to the course to see shots.”
And how does he think Woods will fare as he looks for his fourth Claret Jug, and his first in 13 years?
“With how well Tiger has been playing this year you never know what to expect,” Reed said.
“He has had a month off but that can work in your favour. At the same time he is re-energized and ready to strike.”

Stan Lee: Dead at 95
Comic Books, Marvel Comics, Obituaries, Stan Lee, Superheroes
Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber; December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018) was an American comic book writer, editor, and publisher. He was the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, and later its publisher and chairman, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.
In collaboration with several artists—particularly Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko—he co-created fictional characters including Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Black Panther, the X-Men, and—with his brother, co-writer Larry Lieber—the characters Ant-Man, Iron Man, and Thor. In doing so, he pioneered a more complex approach to writing superheroes in the 1960s, and in the 1970s challenged the standards of the Comics Code Authority, indirectly leading to it updating its policies.

Millennials Are So Weird
"Black Panther", "My Boyfriend is a Bear", Comic Books, Ta-Nehisi Coates
For blogging purposes, and due to a surplus of idle curiosity, I subscribe to daily email notifications from a boxcar-load of web-sites and publications.
Thrilllist is one of these, churning out features mainly on food and travel. “Best Hamburger (or Pizza) in Each of Fifty States” would be a typical article.
This morning, however, I came upon Joshua Kahn’s Best Comic Books and Graphic Novels of 2018 (So Far).
I’d forgotten that the Atlantic’s professional Aggrieved Black Man Ta-Nehisi Coates varied his production of complaints that White America ruined his life and demands for reparations for Antebellum Slavery with dabbling in writing comic books.
I’d even forgotten that it was none other than TNC who is responsible for Marvel’s current Black Panther comics and the recent movie offering Afrocentric ego-flattering on a scale that makes the claims in Black Athena (Black Africans built the pyramids and created Western Civilization) sound like moderation. Well, TNC is marching on. In the Black Panther number reviewed here, Wakanda’s got an Intergalactic Empire.
In Ta-Nehisi Coates’ improved version of the world, a Sub-Saharan African society, uncolonized and uninfluenced by European contact, is not living in the Stone Age, but has surpassed Europe and America in technology and moved on to the stars. Traditional American racial animosity indulged in unflattering stereotypes of African-Americans often focusing on a supposed penchant for hubris and overwheening arrogance. I find it impossible to look at Black Panther in the TNC redaction without being reminded of that stereotype.
It is not enough, however, for young minds to be filled with visions of Sub-Saharan African superiority and super achievement. There is also what seems to be a parable of some kind titled: “My Boyfriend is a Bear”.
Dating is hard. It just sort of happens in college, and as you traverse your 20s, you evolve into a deflated husk barely coping with the trappings of adulthood. It’s a tiresome montage and Pamela Ribon’s debut novel dissects how those routines tend to push us to find love in unlikely places. As much as MBIAB is about 28-year-old Nora dating a literal 500-pound American black bear, it goes to lengths to discuss the ups and downs of relationships and the honesty and intimacy that accompanies each side. With Cat Farris’ expressive art style, it taps into various tinier moments — involving Farmer’s Markets, mating season, and how “it’s so much fun” that bears are open to watching anything on TV — and it never weirds itself out. Instead, it uses each unpredictable frame to help connect you to one of the greatest love stories ever told.
Obviously civilization as we know it is doomed.
Marvel & DC Taken Over by SJWs
Comic Books, Ironman, Left Think, Political Correctness, Social Justice Warriors, Thor
Female Thor
Charles Nash notes that comic book sales are dropping after Marvel and DC sold out to the Social Justice Warrior crowd.
“Thor? Are you kidding me? I’m supposed to call you Thor?” Marvel villain The Absorbing Man yells at the new “female Thor” during a vicious street brawl in an issue published last year. “Damn feminists ruining everything!”
The dialogue mirrored most sane reader’s thoughts during the issue, but we’re not all monsters. We are just loyal, long-time readers who are sick of our favorite characters being butchered by nose-ringed lesbians for the sake of diversity, and at the apparent expense not just of dialogue, story and creativity but also, it now appears, the commercial success of Marvel’s comic books line. …
Increasing customer frustration at obscure third-wave feminism preoccupations shoehorning their way into Marvel’s comic books is starting to have an effect on sales. It turns out you can’t bully people into caring about “microaggressions.” …
Marvel isn’t getting the message. Its latest comic book character is — wait for it — a fifteen year-old black female Iron Man. That’s right. Tony Stark, the badass, billionaire playboy businessman who has represented the quintessential white American male since the 1960s is to be replaced by a fifteen year-old black girl with an Afro and hooped earrings.
Other comic book publishers are hardly saints, of course. In an issue of DC’s Wonder Woman last year, the popular female superhero complained about a villain “mansplaining” to her before an ally punched him in the face for the crime. “The lasso compels truth, but it can’t stop mansplaining,” declared Wonder Woman as the “bad guy” had his teeth knocked out of his mouth.
The new social political styles seem a weird choice for publishers who have a predominately apolitical — and disproportionately male — audience. …
“We’re seeing the worst falloff of Marvel and DC sales in the store’s 38-year history,” complained one comic book store owner in an industry forum. “Both companies are losing established readers who no longer feel that the company’s output reflects the sort of comics they enjoy.”
The Origins of Batman
Americana, Batman, Comic Books, History
Richard A. Warshak, in the Atlantic, associates the origin of the dark crimefighter with a boyhood beating experienced by his creator.
Years ago I became aware that a particular superhero, who has entertained millions of people, had special appeal to the traumatized children who visited my office. I had a hunch that a trauma had inspired the creation of this superhero. See if you think my hunch was correct.
His pals nicknamed him “Doodler” because he was constantly drawing pictures. His pals had nicknames, too—they were fellow members of a neighborhood club know as “The Zorros,” an appellation that a young Robert Kahn had chosen, inspired by the cinematic crusader for justice played by Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. The Zorros’ clubhouse was built with wood stolen from the neighborhood lumber yard—a place whose many nooks and crannies made it the location of choice for their games of hide-and-seek.
One night, when he was 15 years old, Kahn—who went by “Robbie” at the time—had a terrifying encounter. Walking home through rough neighborhoods of the Bronx after a music lesson, carrying a violin case, he was followed by “a group of seedy-looking roughnecks from the tough Hunts Point district,” as he wrote in his autobiography 57 years later:
They wore the sweatshirts of the Vultures, and they were known to be a treacherous gang. They were whistling at me and making snide remarks that only “goils” played with violins. I stepped up my pace and so did they. Finally, I started running and they did likewise, until I reached my neighborhood. Unfortunately, my buddies were not hanging around the block at the time.
Kahn’s memoir goes on to give a very lengthy, melodramatic blow-by-blow account of his dash to the familiar lumberyard, the Vultures’s pursuit (“with terrifying menace in their eyes”), and his attempts at self-defense, complete with “Zorro” leaps, grappling hook, and mid-air kicks while swinging on a rope. He fought bravely, he writes, but for naught:
My worst fears came true. Two Vultures pinned both my arms behind my back and held me firm while another beat a staccato rhythm on my belly, knocking the wind out of me. Another bully stepped in and used my face for a punching bag—while he cracked a couple of my front teeth.
I was in a fog, when I felt my right arm crack at the elbow after a gang member deliberately twisted it behind me in order to break it. The pain was excruciating and I screamed in agony.
Before I blacked out and fell to the ground like a limp rag doll, I heard him laugh sardonically, “Just to make sure dat da Fiddler ain’t gonna play his fiddle no more!” Little did he know that it wasn’t playing the violin again that concerned me, but the fact that he had broken my drawing arm.
Then he stepped on the hand of my broken arm! I don’t remember how long I remained in a blanket of darkness before I regained consciousness, but when I came to, I was a beaten, bloody wreck. Somehow I managed to pull myself up and it was then that I noticed my violin on the ground, smashed to pieces. This was the coup de grace!
This whole episode, to this day, remains in my subconscious like a nightmare. I had played Zorro and lost! Had it really been a dream or a movie, I would have emerged victorious. But this real-life drama had almost cost the life of a reckless fifteen-year-old.
Here we have a boy who was attacked by a gang of Vultures in the night. He defended himself by playing Zorro, using a grappling hook to fend off his attackers. He was unsuccessful and was hospitalized, severely injured, with the possibility that he would be unable to pursue his chosen career. In spite of permanent injuries—scars, chipped teeth, and limited mobility in one arm—he went on to become a cartoonist.
Seven years after being brutalized, he created a comic-book superhero that would become a pop-culture legend—and whose appeal may be deeply, subtly connected to what happened that night in the lumber yard.

Superman’s 75th Anniversary
Comic Books, History, Superman
Glen Weldon Superman’s biographer), in the New Republic, traces the Man of Steel’s history and the changes to his persona and characteristics over the decades which mirrored those of America’s changing culture.
Seventy-five years ago, every red-blooded American kid read comic books.
Churned out on cheap paper, these comics sold for ten cents a pop, a not inconsiderable amount of money considering that the Great Depression still hung in the nation’s doorway like a party guest who can’t take a hint. In exchange for their dimes, kids could spend an entire afternoon at the movies, gorge themselves at the soda fountain, or take home a comic ablaze with the four-color adventures of Tarzan, Buck Rogers, Popeye and other well-known strips hastily reprinted from the newspaper funny pages.
Then came Action Comics #1.
Like the other comics of its day, Action adopted an anthology format, offering eleven different features of varying length. These features, however, were different. They were, for the first time, original stories starring brand new characters. Despite their brawny, evocative names—Scoop Scanlon! Sticky-Mitt Stimson! Pep Morgan! Chuck Dawson, Fastest Gun in the West!—none of them would last.
Well. Except one.
The guy on the cover? That circus strongman hefting a green Studebaker over his head? That guy?
He’d hang around. In fact, he’d do much more than that. Scant months after Superman’s debut as the lead feature of Action #1, he would leap from the comics page into the funny pages and from there into the toy box, onto the radio, the movie screen, and the television. Over the course of a 75-year multimedia push, he would transcend the various media that convey him and infiltrate the collective consciousness of the country, and the world. He would construct his own archetype, powered by a uniquely American fuel mixture: our power and privilege, our violence and spectacle, our noblest ideals.
I predict that Superman will go Gay, and have an affair with Archie in 2020.
Of course, the best take on Superman comes from Bill:

Sarah Palin, Superhero and Fetish
Comic Books, Sarah Palin, Steam Punk, Steampunk Palin
Steampunk Sarah
Leftwinger Chris Murphy, at Comics Alliance, has suffered a near mortal blow to his political sensibilities in having to review a new comic book featuring a Steampunk version of Sarah Palin as the superhero star. The new comic contains “fifteen pages of story, followed by eight pages of pin-ups of Sarah Palin.” And Murphy does not like it one bit.
The story starts in the near future, in the immediate aftermath of a war that has destroyed all the Earth’s oil. A new power source is needed, and Sarah Palin steps forward to suggest steam power as a replacement. A conglomerate consisting of big oil and nuclear power interests makes a counterproposal by blowing her up with a bomb at the meeting where she suggests this. …
Six months later Sarah Palin wakes up to find that she now has body more than half made of robot parts. Powered by steam. … Obama blew up in the explosion too, and is now part machine and called “Robama.” … They (including John McCain. now equipped with a robot arm) network a bunch of robots that can be controlled by Palin’s robot body and they all go off to save the world from the evil oil/nuke organization. … [a]nd [from] the Russians, who, as Robama informs us, have assembled a force along their border with Alaska. … They then defeat the evil organization run by the the oil/nuke conglomerate. Whose soldiers kind of dress like Cobra. And which is led by Al Gore. That’s followed by the aforementioned pages upon pages of pin-ups, which continue the book’s cash-in on the fetishization of Sarah Palin.
The theoretical publication date was January 19th, but Steampunk Palin is not yet available at TFAW or at Mile High Comics.

Judge Dwyer’s discovery was featured recently in an exhibition in the Yale Law Library‘s Rare Book Gallery.

Archie Comics to Debut Gay Character
Archie, Comic Books, Comics Code Authority, Homosexuality, John L. Goldwater, O tempora o mores!, Political Correctness
Poor Veronica will be initially infatuated with Kevin Keller, but he’ll eventually become her walker.
John L. Goldwater (1916-1999), an orphan and distant relative of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, was a strong admirer of small town America and an arch champion of family values, who played a key role in establishing the Comics Code Authority in 1954.
Goldwater invented Archie, his teenage associates, and their paradigmatically American hometown Riverdale in 1941, modeling the new series on the popular “Andy Hardy” films. He deliberately created Archie as a rival to Superman.
Goldwater “thought of Superman as an abnormal individual and concluded that the antithesis, a normal person, could be just as popular.”
Superman performed extraordinary feats, averting cataclysmic perils to humanity and thwarting the plans of evil geniuses, while Archie just blundered along happily through high school, facing no problem larger than choosing between the romantic possibilities presented by the blond and wholesome Betty and the wealthy brunette Veronica. Goldwater believed that Archie was successful precisely because he was “basically a square, but in my opinion the squares are the backbone of America… [and] strong families.”
I expect a loud spinning sound can be heard in the vicinity of the late John L. Goldwater’s grave. His grandson made a announcement this week that the old man would probably not very much have liked.
Free Press:
Archie Comics announced Wednesday that it’s introducing the strip’s first openly gay character. His name is Kevin Keller, and rumor has it that he’s a strapping, blond hottie who draws the immediate attention of Veronica and who wrestles with how to gently rebuff her flirtations.
Co-CEO Jon Goldwater says the move is “just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive,” adding that the new character makes sense because “Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone.”
Kevin is slated to make his first appearance in September.
Fan reaction has been mixed.
At Animation Magazine, Ralph comments:
The majority of the Archie comic audience are kids and sexual orientation has no place in this comic. Archie has been a pillar of honest, genuine content for many successful years so why change that?
The San Francisco Examiner brings up the often-voiced suspicion that the Archie series already had a gay character, the rebellious and misogynistic Jughead.
Archie comics is debuting its first gay character, although that should be ‘out’ gay character, since obviously Jughead, that woman hating anti-social with the dry sass, has always been the main gay of Riverdale High.
The late John L. Goldwater ruled that Stan Lee Spiderman strips written in response Federal Department of HEW requests featuring anti-drug use advocacy were a comics code violation.
Just Wait Until Massachusetts and California Hear About This
Bizarre, Comic Books, Japan
Australia news.com.au reports on a breakthrough in human rights underway in Japan.
But how do they find out if Wonder Woman says “I do?”
A Japanese man has enlisted hundreds of people in a campaign to allow marriages between humans and cartoon characters, saying he feels more at ease in the “two-dimensional world”.
Comic books are immensely popular in Japan, with some fictional characters becoming celebrities or even sex symbols.
Marriage is meanwhile on the decline as many young Japanese find it difficult to find life partners.
Taichi Takashita launched an online petition aiming for one million signatures to present to the government to establish a law on marriages with cartoon characters.
Within a week he has gathered more than 1000 signatures through.
“I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world,” he wrote.
“However, that seems impossible with present-day technology. Therefore, at the very least, would it be possible to legally authorise marriage with a two-dimensional character?”
Befitting his desire to be two-dimensional, he listed no contact details, making it impossible to reach him for comment to explain if his campaign is serious or tongue-in-cheek.
But some people signing the petition are true believers.
“For a long time I have only been able to fall in love with two-dimensional people and currently I have someone I really love,” one person wrote.
“Even if she is fictional, it is still loving someone. I would like to have legal approval for this system at any cost,” the person wrote.
Japan only permits marriage between human men and women and gives no legal recognition to same-sex relationships.
Gavin Newsome needs to start preparing San Francisco’s City Hall for the ceremonies.

SLU's Queer Closet Lends Students Clothes And Confidence

A clothing library at St. Louis University is helping students find outfits that match their gender identity.
The student-led Queer Closet allows transgender and gender-nonconforming people to find affordable clothing that helps them feel more comfortable.
“I think one of the biggest and best aspects of the Queer Closet is the idea you’re working with someone who understands what you’re going through and someone who understands the queer experience,” said co-founder Regis Wilson, a SLU business major who identifies as gender-nonconforming.

St. Louis Native Kevin Mayes’ Costume Work On ‘Black Panther’ In Oscar Spotlight
By Lara Hamdan • Feb 21, 2019

The Marvel hit “Black Panther” was undoubtedly one of the biggest films of 2018. It brought the fictional country of Wakanda to the big screen and showcased exuberant sub-Saharan African culture – and St. Louis native Kevin Mayes was a part of that process.
Mayes is a clothing designer who served as the head tailor for the film’s costumes, helping bring the visions of designer Ruth E. Carter to life. “Black Panther” has been nominated for seven Oscars – including best costume design.
On Thursday’s St. Louis on the Air, host Don Marsh talked with Mayes, who attended Normandy High School, ahead of the 91st Academy Awards set to take place Sunday.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Side Of Fast Fashion
Lara Hamdan | St. Louis Public Radio
High fashion designs can take about four to six months to come to life and into the market. Fast fashion, however, is a term used by fashion retailers to describe the practice of making those high-fashion trends quickly and cheaply available to consumers. A clothing design can make it from sketch to mannequin in six weeks.
Media personality Kim Kardashian criticized the fast-fashion trend last week. She posted a picture on Instagram sarcastically asking fast fashion brands to wait until she actually wears a dress before selling a knockoff version
A recent Wash U study by associate professor Christine Ekenga examined how the practice has ended up hurting the environment, workers and society. On Thursday’s St. Louis on the Air, host Don Marsh delved into its effects and what people can do to become more conscious consumers.

James Dennis ‘Jeigh’ Singleton: St. Louis’ Go-To Fashion Guy Taught A Legion Of Designers At Wash U
By Gloria S. Ross • Jan 13, 2015

Jeigh Singleton joyously accepted the “burden” of being a fashion guru. He created clothes for the country-club set, church-going folk, showgirls, theater companies and items suitable for framing, all while teaching generations of Washington University design students to do the same. Mr. Singleton died Sunday in his hometown of Plaquemine, La., one day past his 70th birthday.
His guiding design principle he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1992, was “The stuff must sell. Period.” But Mr. Singleton, never one for reticence, ignored his own punctuation and continued.

WATERBURY, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) – Tom Foley has announced he’s making another run for Connecticut governor.
The Republican from Greenwich who narrowly lost to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in 2010 announced his decision Wednesday at a VFW post in Waterbury.
Foley, a former U.S. ambassador to Ireland, spent more than $10 million of his own money on his losing bid in 2010.
His running mate from the last race, Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, has already joined the field of Republican candidates that also includes Senate Minority Leader John McKinney.
Boughton, a seven-term mayor, announced his candidacy earlier this month, saying he believes Connecticut residents are not “getting their fair share of the American dream.”
Malloy has yet to announce whether he will seek a second term.

The Fraud and Corruption of Appellate Division First Department Judge Luis Gonzalez
and he will be removed on _____________ or will be interrogated publicly on _________.
Judge Lippman, please fill in the blanks.
Betsy Combier, Editor
OBJECTIONABLE: Manhattan Justice Luis Gonzalez with ex-wife Vivian Gonzalez, whom he hired as a $65,000-a-year court clerk.
NY Presiding Justice Accused of Lying on Mortgage Docs
Judge out of order
The New York Post by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein - March 27, 2011
A Manhattan judge in charge of one of the most prestigious state courts in the country lied on mortgage documents, received property-tax breaks he didn't deserve and made questionable hires that included his ex-wife. Justice Luis Gonzalez, the presiding judge of New York's Appellate Division First Department, simultaneously took advantage of both rent-stabilization rules and home-ownership tax breaks by claiming places in two boroughs as his home, The Post has learned. In 2009, he took out a $510,276 loan on a Brooklyn house, attesting on the mortgage document that the property would be his primary residence. He then got a STAR tax break in 2009, 2010 and 2011 -- a perk that amounted to $4,440 and is supposed to go only for a primary residence. But Gonzalez really resided in a rent-stabilized Grand Concourse apartment in The Bronx, a living situation that is also supposed to be a primary residence. Gonzalez confessed his duplicity to The Post, saying he designated the Brooklyn abode as his main home to get the mortgage. "To be honest with you, I did not think there was anything improper about it," he said. "It sounds super silly, super stupid."
Asked whether the deception was a crime, he said, "If it is, you're talking to someone who is in deep trouble." Jonathan New, a mortgage-fraud expert and former Manhattan federal prosecutor, said it's a federal crime -- fraud -- to lie on a credit application to a federally insured institution or for a federally insured loan. It is punishable by up to 30 years' prison and a maximum $1 million fine. Documents on file with the city show that Gonzalez got the February 2009 loan through now-defunct Union Federal Mortgage Corp. and that the loan was insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Such government-insured loans are available only for a primary residence. Gonzalez has taken out four mortgages on the Williamsburg home since 2004 and paid off three. On the first, for $280,000, he also said he would live in the house, on South Sixth Street. The judge says he lived in the modest two-bedroom house sometime between 2006 or 2007 and 2009, a period in which he borrowed $467,000 in two loans. He said he moved back to The Bronx in January 2009 and was unaware the Brooklyn home had a tax break.
Gonzalez, 65, was promoted from an Appellate Division judge to presiding justice in March 2009 by Gov. David Paterson, becoming the first Latino to hold to the position. As presiding judge, he was required to live in The Bronx or Manhattan. He earns $147,600. Critics say Gonzalez has allowed nepotism to run rampant in the court. Vivian Gonzalez, whom the judge divorced 10 years ago but remains friendly with, was hired in December as a $65,000-a-year court clerk. Gonzalez said there was "no prohibition" against hiring his ex. He said he signed off on recent hirings of court workers' relatives, including his secretary's brother, his executive assistant's nephew and the son of a court officer who used to be his driver. None had state court experience, state payroll records show. But Gonzalez said all were qualified.

Oh, Great! Another dishonest judge in New York. And this fellow is the top job in Manhattan. Can't stop laughing.
IRS said...
Tip Number
I have a receiver who's appointment is listed on the Part 36 website,
but.. ummm...
there is no mention of the compensation he took...
How come???
This post typifies what is wrong with the court system and law practice. Attorneys have been subject to discipline for such conduct. Resulting in ruined careers. Some Judges have been disciplined for such conduct. A Judge was removed as a Judge and eventually disbarred for stealing $1,000.00 from a client when he was a practicing attorney. The resulting discipline and act were ten years apart. Note that Gonzalez based on this article got over $4,000.00 in tax abatements. We need for everyone to be treated equally under the law not unequally based on your status and connection.
And pray tell what do his 'ETHICS FORMS' reveal? Want to bet nothing is listed. The impudent OCA, DDC & CJC will give the fraud a free pass. It's the same story - one law for us, the citizens and no law for the rulers! This thing has been living off the tax payers for too long. The 1st Dept. is a den of thieves that been long in jail!
sick to my stomach said...
sad, very sad..what has this world become! Judges, Lawyers, and Prosecutors stealing, lying, covering up crimes all for the MIGHTLY OLD DOLLAR!!!!
A couple of those jobs are civil service required jobs..like court clerk, court officer. So where was the bulldog union.... CSEA..... when these nepotistic jobs were handed out without a civil service ranking and selection?
OCA and CSEA work in collusion.... so that the union can get the small pay raises every year they look for..without much trouble or financial payoffs.
One bloated CSEA rep told me in 2005, that CSEA only worried about those little raises because CSEA believes(they have no concrete knowledge) that their members only want CSEA to seek raises exclusively...so all the bad stuff OCA demands, like judges hiring their girlfriends for all the top supervisory titles, unfair hearing practices allowing them to fire anyone..no matter how illegal....stays put in every contract...check it out for yourself.
It is stated like most of what is in those convoluted contracts CSEA PUBLISHES for member reference, in paragraphs that need judicial interpreters to assess...but they can be determined if you study them for weeks or months and then sleep on the thought that CSEA is not your buddy, so the wording will always be OCA friendly!
So CSEA...what do you say about the jobs that this judge handed out as a favor..and also.... where can you locate those illusive civil service laws.
Civil Service told me they don't have them...they exist, but not for publication...try the internet maybe..huh...really?
Sewer Rooter said...
Eric Holder, Scheiderman, Cuomo, Tembeckjian who claims to read newspapers to begin action, where are you? Criminal prosecution and immediate removal from the bench is required; anything less and you each are the bigger evil. Fire the entire nepotistic staff at Appellate Court.
Gonzalez and Susan Hernandez are two of the most corrupt individuals in the entire unified court system. There are at least 40 other friends and relatives, not only in the Appellate Division but all over the the Bronx as well. Numerous complaints have been sent to the IG, hopefully this will be the start of something.
Isn't this the same Luis Gonzalez who was discussed in recent posts?
Isn't this the same Luis Gonzalez who isn't really a judge but was given the position of "Administrative Judge"?
Let's hope that the investigation doesn't stop with this, but they look into how he got this promotion.
If Gonzalez got caught, it's not because he is more corrupt, but either sloppier or crossed the wrong people.
The Second Dept, particularly the 9th JD has them beat. Look at whose in charge at the OCA. That's probably why nothing changes there.
The same Luis Gonzalez, and it was because of both sloppiness and arrogance. Both the judge and Susan flaunted these hirings of inept and conceited relatives in the face of everyone. It was only a matter of time before complaints were submitted. Furthermore the ones mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg, his nephew as well as girlfriend were also recently employed in the Appellate Division with high salaries and no prior court experience.
re: civil service jobs
fyi, although the jobs maybe civil service, they can be filled without complying with the laws and rules (any surprise).
I think we all know that when dealing with any government agency, if they want to do something, or not do something, there is nothing anyone can do about it.
If there was actual accountability and repercussions for misconduct, there probably wouldn't be a need for this blog.
Any job OCA distributes may be in the category that violates civil service rules...wherever those rules are now resting for viewing...but that is why we pay such high union dues...so CSEA..our civil service watchdog, will prevent civil service titled and tested jobs, from going to Judicial family, friends and those many, many girlfriends that the Judges so enjoy on the desk in their offices..yes Appellate judge sitting and now 76...I mean you and your trim!
Where are the comments defending CSEA from the reps... scared because you know I am right and ready with more for you for later.
This just SMELLs of a County Wide Credit fiasco. I'm thinking of going to Judge school too.
Q: ...and the answer is ??
A: ahhhhhhh, I dunno, ahhhhh....both are primary residence?
CJC=Can't Just Cheat ?
The lowlives from the 1st department that recently retired and are collecting state pensions should be the target of serious criminal investigations.
Interesting that some of the retirees from 1st dept had early mafia ties and would brag that all they had to do was "make a phone call" to get things done. Not to mention other vile transgressions.
Funny cause all they have to do is look at phone records to connect the dots. It's called investigations 101...elementary!
Gonzalez is better than the prior make-believe PJ: one Jonathan Lippman.... why isn't the NY Post looking into Lippman's shady deals?!
Gonzalez is a corrupt pervert who fucks anything that walks. Susan Hernandez is a nasty cunt who walk around with such arrogance that her enemy list is a mile long.
fed waiter said...
What a joke. What are the feds waiting for?
I'm thinking of going to Judge school too
just make sure you have some extra cash around to pass!
i like to watch said...
What Speedy Gonzalez should have said was that it was OK for judges and lawyers to be criminals in New York. And the more sex they have the better. And the more they screw people (the little people) all the better. Realize that screwing people doesn't necessarily have anything to do with sex. Ask a shrink, he/she will give you the details.
Sun-Ming "Sunny" Sheu came to a "sudden" untimely Death within days of appearing at OCA exposing "Certificated" Supreme Court Judge Joseph Golia for even more significant Financial Disclosure issues.
The FBI in NYC were Fully Aware and one Special Agent warned Sunny to "be careful".
Where is our Federal Govt? Where are real actions and result? Where is the Murder Investigation of Sun-Ming Sheu?

I thought that Senator Sampson was guiding or leading the Feds or something about all this corruption?
Looks like he is out of place in this picture with Governor Andrew Cuomo, Speaker Silver, and Senator Dean Skelos smiling, feeling good, doing a budget, 3 Men still in a Room, NO Talk about Courts and Court Reforms, no talk about Court Corruption, No Changes at All. Same old same old same old. And the beat goes on.
http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/62063/cuomo-says-budget-is-done/
You have to love it! The PJ of the 1st Dept. nailed in a criminal fraud! You can't make this stuff up! Do you think that he used the US Postal Service to facilitate this fraud? Have no fear Luis Gonzalez your friends Milt Williams and the doughboy Leo M will work their magic and all will be fixed - Oh sorry I mean well, yes well! How come old Jonathan Lippman is soooo quiet? Hum Stage right the federal are coming or are they? Time to flush the luv!
They forget to add his daughter Nydia Gonzalez & his brother who he also got jobs in brooklyn supreme court...This is nepotism/corruption at its best.
The problem with court corruption and the existence of any kind of reform is that the court's only pretend accountability in litigation after the arrests, is another court..Federal Ct..... so now you are fighting judges and lawyers with judges and lawyers...cannot happen in this America we have today.
You also then have Gov. agency going after another Gov. agency, likely all doing the same crimes..not going to happen!
You have the option of the Gov agencies of the FBI, DOJ, CJC ETC. and they are also part of the same game...not interested in busting up what great gig they have going until their retirements.
So what do you have.. a very interesting fact loaded lawsuit stuck in a Gov. judicial entanglement, that is attempting to figure out how to legally twist judicial crimes to benefit OCA's reputation, because the pltf has information and damages that could cause greater exposure and harm to the NY justice syndicate.
So this case continues bending and twisting through the courts, always adjourned 100% by the courts for their failure to comply... with zero repercussions for their circumventing of due process, for multiple years with no end in sight...until maybe the American people, not Gov. agencies who are all completely unheroic....can finally view the truth and demand integrity and the long sought reform!
YOUR BEST BET IS TO JUST START SHOOTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS GODLY AND APPROVED BY JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR
THE RADIATIONS COMING ANYWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEATH TO TYRANTS
Geez, ex-wife's, nephews, brothers, daughters, girlfriends, its like a family reunion everyday at work for Gonzalez and Hernandez
How come Barbara Ross (legal writer) at the Daily News hasn't written one word about this hot scandal? Could it be that if she did write something her husband none other than Robert (Mr. Rogers) Tembeckjian would get fired so it's better to "cover" it up. How ofter do you get the PJ of the 1st Dept. caught in the act? Has he left the building yet?
One can only hopes that he steps down, but judging by his arrogance thats not likely.

Habs sign Barberio to a one-year, two-way deal
By Dhiren MahibanJul 1, 2015, 6:45 PM EDT
The Montreal Canadiens have signed unrestricted free agent defenseman Mark Barberio to a one-year, two-way deal, the club announced.
According to TVA’s Renaud Lavoie, the deal is worth $600,000 at the NHL level and $325,000 in the American Hockey League.
Barberio became an unrestricted free agent earlier in the week after the Tampa Bay Lightning elected not to tender the 25-year-old a qualifying offer.
“I’m not going to say it was disappointing. It’s time to get a fresh start somewhere else,” Barberio’s agent Paul Hamel told PHT on Monday. “It could go either way so at this point, they decided not to make a qualifying offer so we just need to move on.”
Barberio appeared in 103 games with Tampa scoring six goals and 11 assists while averaging 15:42 in time on ice.
The Montreal native was originally a sixth-round pick (152nd overall) by Tampa at the 2008 NHL Draft.
“I’ve been a Canadiens fan forever so to join the organization is a dream come true."- Mark Barberio
— Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) July 1, 2015
The Habs have also signed free agent forward George Holloway to a one-year, two-way contract.
The 27-year-old played 42 games with Bern in Swiss National League A in 2014-15, scoring 13 goals and 37 points.
Holloway was originally a third-round pick of the L.A. Kings (86th overall) at the 2006 NHL Draft.

Lightning, Sustr agree on two-year extension
By Ryan DadounJun 30, 2015, 10:23 AM EDT
The Tampa Bay Lightning announced that they have signed Andrej Sustr to a two-year contract extension.
Tampa Bay didn’t release the financial terms of the deal other than to confirm that it’s one-way, but the contract is worth $2.9 million, according to ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun. That’s up from his 2014-15 salary of roughly $874K.
The 24-year-old defenseman participated in his first full NHL campaign last season and registered 13 assists in 72 contests. He also blocked 84 shots and logged 17:42 minutes of ice time per game, including an average of 1:28 shorthanded minutes.
He went on to participate in all 26 of Tampa Bay’s 2015 playoff games during its run to the Stanley Cup Final. He had a goal and an assist and averaged 15:14 minutes per contest.
Tampa Bay now has seven defensemen inked to one-way contracts worth more than $1 million annually, although that includes Mattias Ohlund who hasn’t played since 2011. Ohlund just has one more campaign left on his contract before he’s off the books.
The Lightning didn’t give Mark Barberio a qualifying offer so the 25-year-old blueliner is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent. However, they still need to re-sign RFA Luke Witkowski.

Barberio looking for a ‘fresh start somewhere else,’ says agent
By Dhiren MahibanJun 29, 2015, 12:01 PM EDT
Defenseman Mark Barberio’s name was not on the list of Tampa Bay Lightning players tendered qualifying offers on Monday. As a result, the 25-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.
Barberio has spent parts of three seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning scoring six goals and 17 points to go along with 44 penalty minutes in 103 games.
His one-year, $874,125 deal is set to expire on July 1.
Barberio grateful Tampa gave him first shot, "best years of my life," excited for new opportunity in FA. "Change isn't always a bad thing."
— Joe Smith (@TBTimes_JSmith) June 29, 2015
Originally a sixth-round selection (152nd overall) by the Bolts in 2008, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound blue liner appeared in 51 regular season games for Tampa during the 2014-15 season scoring one goal and six assists to go along with 16 penalty minutes and a minus-4 rating. He also appeared in one playoff game.

Lightning sign forwards Marchessault, Hart
By Ryan DadounJun 28, 2015, 5:34 PM EDT
The Tampa Bay Lightning announced that they have signed forwards Jonathan Marchessault and Brian Hart.
Marchessault, 24, has agreed to a one-year, two-way contract. He spent the bulk of the 2014-15 campaign in the AHL where he scored 24 goals and 67 points in 68 contests. However, he was also used twice during Tampa Bay’s playoff run and averaged 11:27 minutes per game during that stretch. Prior to that, he scored his first career NHL goal on April 11 against Boston.
Hart is turning pro now that he’s armed with a three-year, entry-level contract. The 21-year-old spent the last three campaigns with Harvard, scoring 18 goals and 50 points in 98 career NCAA games.
Tampa Bay originally selected him with the 53rd overall 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
The Lightning have no shortage of restricted free agents that still need to be addressed, including Vladislav Namestnikov, Mark Barberio, and Andrej Sustr.

Canadians Ready For Bold Policies To Transition Away From Fossil Fuels, Poll Finds
Posted on August 13, 2019 by dougdraper | 1 Comment
People across the country want our governments to do more to combat climate change,according to a new Abacus Data survey commissioned by former Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives–BC Director Seth Klein
Earlier this year, countless thousands of young students across Canada went out on a one-day strike for climate action
“My overall conclusion is that our politicians have been underestimating the public. … When it comes to bold climate solutions, the Canadian public is ahead of our elected leaders” – Seth Klein, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives
News from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, a not-for-profit, nation-wide research group
Posted August 13th, 2019 on Niagara At Large
Vancouver, Canada —The results of an extensive nationwide survey released today suggest Canadians are increasingly anxious about the climate crisis, and have a stronger appetite for “systems-level” climate solutions than political leaders tend to assume.
Among the findings:
42 per cent believe climate change is now “an emergency,” while a further 20 per cent believe it will likely be an emergency within the next few years, for a combined total of 62 per cent.
Three-quarters of respondents say they or someone close to them have already experienced the effects of climate change.
Few Canadians have heard of the Green New Deal (GND). But once they learn about it, they like it.
After being given a short description of the GND, 72 per cent responded that they support the key principles.
The survey polled Canadians on their support for six major policy changes—including phasing out the extraction and export of fossil fuels over the next 20 to 30 years and banning the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2030—and found that between 67 and 84 per cent of respondents could accept, would support, or would strongly support each proposed policy.
Some 74 per cent responded favourably to the question about phasing out fossil fuels (50 per cent support, with a further 24 per cent willing to accept such a move). The poll also found a connection between support for climate action and for tackling inequality.
For example, 79 per cent indicated they would be more supportive of a transition away from fossil fuels if financial support were provided to low- and modest-income households, while 78 per cent would be more supportive of bold climate actions “if the government increased taxes on the wealthy and corporations to help pay for the transition.”
Importantly, the majority of those polled—57 per cent—believed the federal government is doing too little to combat climate change. “My overall conclusion is that our politicians have been underestimating the public.
These results tell us that when it comes to bold climate solutions, the Canadian public is ahead of our elected leaders,” said Seth Klein, who commissioned the poll from Abacus Data this summer.
Klein is the former director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives – BC Office (CCPA–BC) and an adjunct professor with Simon Fraser University’s Urban Studies program.
With support from the CCPA–BC and the Corporate Mapping Project, Klein commissioned the poll as part of his research for a forthcoming book on the climate emergency.
“A solid majority of Canadians are ready to move beyond incremental policies and to welcome truly transformative climate action,” Klein continued. “This runs counter to the prevailing assumption of our political leadership, who appear to believe, incorrectly, that the public is not ready for the system-level changes that climate science tells us are necessary.”
The polling found support for bold climate action to be the strongest in Quebec and weakest in Alberta. However even in the latter province, support for bold action was solid.
Klein noted: “Canadians know climate change is taking place here and now, and as our polling shows, we are ready for more ambitious actions.”
Klein’s analysis can be found at: policynote.ca/climate-poll-2019 (https://t.e2ma.net/click/5do91b/5tge1g/9wperh)

This represents an opportunity for Canada to lead the world. We should be following the example of the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg who set off two days ago on her two week sailing voyage across the Atlantic in a racing yacht accompanied by her father, two skippers and a film crew.

Chapter 922 Core Research
Chapter 923 Test Subjects
Chapter 924 A Frank Discussion
The Mech Touch Chapter 923 Test Subjects
One of the more unfortunate aspects of his new position was that he still needed to report to the Mech Department in order to perform his duties as a mech designer.
"Damnit, Venerable Foster has already promoted to mech major?!"
She rose too quickly!
Virtual Commander Dislan already sent him a message demanding him to drop by the Mech Department to appraise the Belisarius that they just received. While Ves believed that he might be able to play some small tricks there, he couldn't do anything too drastic because the AIs weren't that blind.
The virtual officers must have already recognized what a supreme example of mech design they managed to get their hands on. While all the Rorach's Bone only provoked a minor amount of interest, the true value in the expert mech lay in its exquisite, advanced design and engineering.
Studying over three-hundred years of advancements in mech design would surely allow the Starlight Megalodon's knowledge base to advance by leaps and bounds!
"Major Foster is probably the darling of the Mech Department now. I'd be a fool to enter her territory."
Ves decided outright that he would never step foot in the Mech Department again. He sent a polite rejection to Virtual Commander Dislan, using the excuse that he was performing extremely vital research and couldn't be pulled away for the next couple of months.
If Virtual Commander Dislan had any objections, he could take it up with Virtual Commander Cosit.
"Hehe. There's no way Cosit will ever let go of a merit printing machine like me. He'll cling to me like a rotten tooth." He grinned as he sent the message over the internal network.
Naturally, Ves knew that he burned his bridges with Dislan and the Mech Department as soon as he did so. Yet did he have any choice?
"Besides, according to the regulations, it's nothing unusual for a mech designer to be engrossed in a research project and not show up for some time."
As a Senior Mech Designer, Ves received more autonomy and room to decide his own schedule. Some problems became much easier to solve when reaching a higher rank.
During the past few days, he also fleshed out his research proposal meant to put the Flagrant Swordmaidens under his protection. He meticulously dug into the records to see what kind of projects appealed to the CFA and by extension the AIs and tailored his latest project for maximum appeal.
He decided to center his research project and Qilanxo and the beast rider neural interface due to his relative familiarity with both. While he suspected sure that Qilanxo and the god species was a product of Project Icarus, it was so heavily classified that Virtual Commander Cosit might not even be aware of the details!
Ves saw an opportunity to exploit this fault by submitting Qilanxo and the beast rider neural interface as a new research project! If he truly guessed right, Virtual Commander Cosit wouldn't even realize that the new project was completely redundant!
After he finalized the research proposal by stuffing it full of irrelevant jargon and barely legible scientific nonsense, he brought it over to Virtual Commander Cosit's office.
[I would have thought you'd spend your efforts on completing our current research projects before embarking on a new one, Mr. Longhorn.] Cosit frowned as her processors worked at full tilt in an attempt to figure out what the research project actually attempted to do.
"I see an opportunity to transform our entire understanding mechs by studying and breaking this extraordinary instance of mech pilots interfacing with exobeasts! Deciphering the mechanics behind this connection will allow us to revolutionize our ability to bring man and machine closer together!"
[What is it that you actually intend to achieve?]
"Why, to turn exobeasts into machines, and machines into exobeasts! The intricate man-beast connection shares many similarities to the man-machine connection that underpins the heart of mech operation. What if we can mix them together and form a beast-machine connection? Just think of the possibilities of mechs piloted by exobeasts! Such a transformational paradigm shift will lessen our dependence on human pilots and save trillions of precious humans lives!"
[Your research proposal doesn't mention how a beast-machine connection would even be capable of following our instructions.] Cosit scratched her head in confusion.
"Well, ma'am, it's like this…"
After half an hour of talking nonsense, Ves managed to wear down Cosit's circuits to the point where she completely lost the thread of the conversation.
Ves knew that Virtual Commander Cosit was not a research AI and did not possess the ability to evaluate research projects all by herself. It was exactly her her lack of research capabilities that she came to lead the Research Department, because every other virtual researcher became shackled by so many restrictions that they couldn't even say hello or something!
[Fine!] Cosit metaphorically threw up her hands! [I'll approve your damn research project! I'll assign it a lab and classify it high enough that no one will disturb you as you've requested. I see that this is also a joint research project involving Exobiology Research Sub-Department. Have you even asked them whether they want to jump in on this project of ours?]
"Virtual Exobiologist Neeran will be happy to collaborate with me on behalf of Exobiology." Ves answered without worry. "Please make sure to accommodate all the 'test subjects' that I intend to bring."
[Very well. I will take care of the paperwork.] Cosit said sardonically.
"Is there any way to convert any possible test subjects into CFA servicemembers without running them through the recruitment tests?"
This took Cosit aback. [Why would you contemplate such an option?]
"Errr.. to incentivize the test subjects to cooperate with my research. While I can always force them to play along, it's much easier if I obtain their willing cooperation. Humans don't tend to behave very well when they are slaves, you know. They will work much harder if they think they are free, but I'll need your help in that because they aren't good enough to pass the recruitment tests." Ves explained with a wink.
[You make a good point, Mr. Longhorn. It is difficult to circumvent the recruitment test, or we would have already arranged something like that many years ago. However, while virtual officers such as myself are limited in how we can exert our authority, you humans face fewer limits. It is within my power to grant you the power to press gang any humans in our custody, but… this has always been an extreme solution to the CFA. The other virtual officers will not like it if I let you obtain this power.]
Ves smirked at Cosit. "Oh, come on. I've given you so much help ever since I joined the Research Department. I can make it worth your while…"
They hashed out a quick agreement regarding this issue. It was very trivial for Ves to bribe the virtual commander with a small pile of merits, ostensibly to placate the protests of the other virtual officers.
Now that Ves obtained everything he wanted from his superior, he made to leave. Before that, Cosit asked one more question.
[By the way, how do you want to call your new research project?]
"Hmm… let's call it Project Unfathomable."
[Why call it that?]
"Because it is unfathomable to everyone except for me." Ves grinned.
Virtual Commander Cosit moved quickly, which made sense since she wasn't a slow and inefficient human. A large and roomy lab deep into the restricted section of the Research Department quickly became the new home of Project Unfathomable.
Ves became the project lead while Virtual Exobiologist Neeran became the co-lead. Nonetheless, the latter expressed no interest in spending time on this nonsense research project.
[I don't know what Cosit was thinking when she approved your ridiculous proposal, but I don't want any part of it.] The exobiologist said over the comm. [Besides, I'm unable to perform any original research on my own initiative, so I will not be able to help anyway.]
"That's fine. I merely wanted to add your name to the project to lend it some legitimacy and prevent others from dipping their fingers into it. Joint research projects are much better protected and face much less scrutiny." He replied before closing his comm.
As soon as Ves entered his new lab and set the project up, he began to command the Starlight Megalodon to retrieve his 'test subjects'.
The battleship activated her tractor beams in quick succession, dragging over every single Vandal and Swordmaidens that Ves could find on the overview. He also designated Qilanxo as a priority test subject, causing the big exobeast to abruptly wake from her hibernation as her huge body began to float in the air!
Fortunately, the Starlight Megalodon's huge size and volume provided just enough room to accommodate the sacred god. She was currently holed up in a large cell that nonetheless seemed rather cramped to a big exobeast and roared out in alarm.
"Hoh, there, Qilanxo! It's me, remember!" Ves said when he arrived in front of her cell. "This is just temporary. You'll get out of the cell soon enough. I'll make sure the lab will provide you with food and water to tide you over."
While Qilanxo still roared with alarm, she slowly calmed down when she realized nothing would change. The cell was so strong that it could easily endure her stomping and clawing.
Besides, hearing that she would get to eat and drink for the first time in weeks must have been a relief to her. One of the biggest faults of the safe zone was that it didn't offer any large-scale food sources. The sparse plants the bots from the Starlight Megalodon hadn't bothered to uproot wouldn't be able to feed such a huge and voracious carnivore.
It was a good thing the Starlight Megalodon still possessed the ability to cultivate artificial meat.
"It's a shame Qilanxo and the two breakdown-proof mechs from our side never found an opportunity to prove their worth in battle in the red zone."
Events grew wildly out of his expectation. The Enduring Protectors that Ves poured his heart and soul into designing now collected dust and rust inside the safe zone.
"It's a shame, but it's also a relief." He sighed. He would hate to see them in battle against a cheat mech like the Belisarius.
This was also an inevitable part of being a mech designer. Some mech designs never saw the light or day, or only saw very little use due to circumstances completely outside of the control of the person who developed them with the best intentions.
A mech existed to do battle, but many mechs and mech designs never actually stepped foot on the battlefield. Some mechs mainly served as a powerful deterrence and their mere threat cowed every enemy that laid their eyes on them into avoiding a fight.
Despite never actually battling, these mechs nonetheless fulfilled their primary purpose of advancing the interests of their owners. It was better to win a battle without a fight.
It was too bad the same didn't apply to his third original mech design. A profound sense of disappointment wracked his spirit when he realized the Enduring Protector would never be able to justify its existence in battle.
Nonetheless, Ves needed to move on. Plans might have changed, but the mission remained.
As he approached the cells containing his human 'test subjects', he narrowed his eyes.
"It's time they spill the beans on what they are after. They can't ignore me this time."
He long wondered why the Flagrant Vandals suddenly split in half at the Detemen System and went their separate ways. While the more valuable ships and mechs sneaked their way back to the Bright Republic, the Verle Task Force where Ves happened to be stationed at randomly traveled to the Reinald Republic before being sent knee-deep into the frontier!
All the time, Ves felt as if he was a passenger aboard an out-of-control shuttle crashing slowly into the ground from high orbit. The lack of control truly frustrated him, but now that he became a Senior Mech Designer in the battleship's hierarchy, Ves was no longer content with knowing nothing.
"They better cough up the truth this time."

Analysis: Alamo plan long on Orwellian Newspeak, short on respect for the public
Written by Mike Greenberg on Jul 6 2018 - 2:22pm
For a document obsessed with events of 1836, the new “Alamo Comprehensive Interpretive Plan,” reads more like “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” a dystopian novel that satirizes hypocrisy by the state. “Embrace the continuum of history” means “repudiate the continuum of history.” “Enhance connections to the surrounding streets” means “reduce connections to the surrounding streets.” “Enable pedestrian flow through the site” means “restrict pedestrian flow through the site.”

Part of the Process: Dan Crosley
Part of the Process July 21, 2017 July 20, 2017
Part of the Process is a series of posts that puts the spotlight on film photographers and DIY film developers. These features provide unique experiences and perspectives on shooting and developing film while also showcasing diverse talent and film photographers around the globe. If you are interested in being featured, feel free to contact me!
Dan Crosley
New Haven, Connecticut, USA
What other websites or blogs do you keep up with to feed your photographic interests?
Mostly through Facebook groups like Film Photographers and Negative Feedback.
What attracted you to film photography? How did you get started/introduced to shooting film? How soon after did you start developing?
I love the tangibleness of film and for me personally, having two kids, I want my kids to be able to have negatives and prints to be able to look through when they get older.
I was lucky enough to have film be the only medium for many of my early years of taking pictures. When digital got popular I used it a lot, but after my dad gave me his old Canon AE-1, I started using film here and there again.
I really got into shooting a lot of film after my son was born. About a year after, in 2015, I started developing my own black and white and C41. I recently began developing E6 last year.
Leica M3 // Fuji Provia 100F
What do you like to shoot on a regular basis?
I shoot weddings, portraits, boudoir, some street, and found objects.
What formats, cameras, and films do you shoot? What do you like about the formats, cameras, films you prefer?
I shoot mostly 35mm and medium format. I shoot a Leica M3 and a Widelux F8 for 35mm and a Pentax 67 for medium format. Although, I’ve had more cameras than I can count for each format.
Widelux F8 // Fuji Neopan 400 (+2)
I shoot a lot of black and white, slide, and color film. I love the mechanical goodness, tactile feel, and noises that my Leica makes. The Widelux is a terribly fun camera and format to shoot. Jeff Bridges was my inspiration to purchase that camera. Finally, the Pentax 67 sounds like a shotgun which I find fantastic. The 105mm f/2.4 lens is one of the sharpest and best lenses I’ve ever used.
What types of film do you develop?
Mostly black and white and slide film. I develop personal C41 stuff. However, I mail out my paid work that I shoot on C41.
Tell us about your first experiences in developing your own film. How did you muster the courage to give it a shot? What resources did you use?
My first experiences developing black and white would have discouraged most people and made them stop. I didn’t know it for a while, but my thermometer was off by 12 degrees (on the cold side) so all of my negatives were coming out super thin and almost unscannable and unprintable.
I had done some research on the MassDev website and a friend of mine had been developing his own film for a while and he showed me how to do it. After finding out my thermometer was off, I bought a Paterson thermometer from B&H to be sure it was accurate.
My whole world changed and I was finally getting nice, thick, contrasty negatives!
Pentax 67 // Kodak Tri-X (+2)
What is your development process like now?
For personal work, I try not to let my undeveloped rolls sit for too long and pile up. But sometimes life gets in the way. Most of the time I shoot, process, and scan within the same day or a day or two later.
For wedding, portrait, and boudoir work I process all the black and white I shoot as quickly as possible, and color is sent out to the lab as soon as possible. Printing and enlarging is tougher because my darkroom is in another town, not to mention that I’m so busy with my kids that I don’t always have free days to get there and print. I usually have to spend 8+ hours in there to get as much done as I can.
Pentax 67 // Ilford Delta 3200
What’s your processes regarding scanning, enlarging, and/or printing your work?
I scan my my traditional 35mm negatives with a Nikon Coolscan LS-40, and medium format with an Epson V550. I currently have a darkroom in my father’s basement and have 4 enlargers, although I really only use one or two.
My main enlarger is a Beseler 45MXT with Dichro45s color head that I got for the unbelievable price of $Free.99. I usually make prints from the black and white film I shoot at weddings and of my personal street and family photos.
I like to think that my kids will have boxes and boxes of prints to look through when they’re older. And also why 80% of their life is in black and white!
What equipment are you using to develop your film and why?
I bulk load most of the black and white I shoot (HP5, Tri-X, or Kodak XX). I sort of still shoot film like it’s the only medium available and there luckily there still is a ton available.
I use a medium size changing bag and Paterson developing tanks. I mostly use Ilfotec HC developer; it’s concentrated like Kodak HC110, and I’ve gotten 79 rolls out of a liter bottle.
I do my developing at home in my kitchen. I find the Paterson tanks and reels very easy to use. I hear people have complaints about the plastic reels being hard to load, and that the steel reels are the only “authentic” reels, but I’ve ruined more film using the metal reels than the Paterson counterparts. Although, my first Paterson 120 reel experience ended with me ripping my arms out of my bag with the film in one hand and the reel in the other, and hucking them across my kitchen.
Olympus Pen FT // Fuji Provia 100
Are you content with where you are now with your shooting and developing? Do you have any future plans or ambitions ?
I’ve gotten comfortable in my shooting and developing processes. Nobody’s perfect and there have been times I’ve messed up a development, but for the most part I’m happy with how my negatives and positives come out of the tank. I’d like to turn my “Before We Wake” and “Driver’s Side” projects one into a book.
Have you completed any notable projects or in the process of creating something from the film you have shot and developed? Feel free to give a solid summary of each project.
My life-long “project” is my kids, which will never be completed, so to speak. I’ve shot a half frame Pen F, with a 36 exposure roll (so 72 photos) in less than 10 minutes with my kids around the house. I know many people are super selective with their shots they take on film, and while I try and make sure each shot is worth something, if it’s of my kids, every shot is worth it.
Pentax 67 // Kodak Ektar 100
I’m too ambitious with projects, so I have a hard time focusing on one and seeing it to fruition. Other projects rely on people, and people are too often unreliable.
However, I did do a small project called “Driver’s Side” in which I shot HP5 pushed to 1600 using my old Leica Minilux, and shot photos while driving between the hours of 11pm-5:30am. I also started another project entitled “Before We Wake” in which I used my Widelux with Cinestill 800T pushed to 6400; shooting large, empty parking lots of stores and shopping centers before the hours of them opening (usually between 3:30a-5:30a).
Leica Minilux // Ilford HP5
What advice can you give to others who are interested in shooting and developing film but are apprehensive about getting started?
To the people thinking about developing their own film: talk to as many people that do it as possible. Get information and consume as much of it as possible: watch YouTube videos, maybe find someone local who does it and see the process. I’ve had a few friends come and hang out while I developed to see how the process is done.

From what I understand, the movie only had a very limited theatrical release in the UK and Australia as well as a few screenings in other parts of Europe. There was no US screening and probably only a very limited number of prints even created and distributed. Given the release dates, they probably just sent the prints from the original UK screenings around to other countries, so they probably ended up somewhere in France or Japan if they weren’t returned to the studio.
Sadly, there is a very high chance that obtaining a film print would be only slightly better than getting a hold of the original negatives and any prints that might still be out there in the wild are probably in very bad shape.

I believe one of the 4K remastered blu-rays also has a choice of the extended or theatrical cut by way of seamless branching.

I am also looking for the Season 1 Exclusive Target bonus disc for Game of Thrones, does anyone have this and would like to sell or trade?
Also since screens are a pain in the ass here I have a teaser but you will have to look here at it.

That looks awesome.
I sort of do a mix of things. I've been helping with audio resyncing and I provided a stereo to 5.1 surround upmix process that has been used on a few Team Blu releases. I also do some title and graphics editing.
Thanks for the welcome!

Does anyone know if the 35mm IB print mentioned earlier is still available. I might be interested in trying to work something out to get the print and get it scanned.
Evil Dead (2013) - Extended Cut
From what I've read, what was shown in the UK was not the complete unrated cut. There have been indications that there is more footage that was cut to keep the film from getting an NC-17 rating. Still, it would be nice to even get the HDTV extended cut and see some of the footage that was removed for the theatrical release.
I wish they would do a proper unrated cut blu-ray, though.
Transformers: The Movie (1986 animated version)
31-Jan-2015 12:55 PM
I think the only audio that's received a 5.1 mix was the English version. All the other releases were only mastered for either stereo or mono. I found an Italian language version of the audio but it was badly upconverted to 5.1 off the original stereo and had some other issues that rendered it basically unusable.
29-Jan-2015 4:51 PM
I have a Spanish track, but it's only in mono and not the best quality. I synced the foreign language tracks to the full-frame SD version and not the blu-ray video since it is the international version that was used on all but the original American English-language theatrical release.
If you have a better copy of the Spanish track, I would be happy to try and include it in the project.
Can I get an invite to Blu-torrents?
All the content has been compiled and sent off to be converted to a BD disc. The BD authoring may take a while.
Army of Darkness Various Cuts
12-Dec-2014 7:50 PM
If they used a different source for the International Cut, it doesn't really show. The international version appears to have slightly different cropping/framing but it still has all the issues with poor color, blown whites, and crushed blacks that the Director's Cut displays. The UK theatrical edition shows a lot more detail in the light and dark areas and, according to reviews, the color is more accurate. I don't have a film print to compare with, but the overly-boosted contrast is obviously not correct.
List of Blu-ray with altered aspect ratios
Army Of Darkness was originally presented in 1.66:1 AR but the DVD and BD versions cropped it to 1.85:1.
On a side note, would there be any interest in a reconstructed Director's Cut using the UK BD for most of the footage and only pulling the extra footage from the German BD? All of the BD releases of the Director's Cut and International Cut are from a 720p source that was upscaled to 1080p.

It would be awesome if there was a way to contact one of them to see if we could obtain the materials to do an HD transfer and then maybe even start a Kickstarter or something similar to fund the project.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - uncensored HDTV airing(s)
There is a 25gb mkv file on the spleen that has the uncensored video and multiple audio tracks as well as a smaller, more compressed version. The audio tracks are all synced to this version. The only option I can offer at the moment is the torrent on the spleen. You could try adjusting the delay on the bluray audio to see if you can sync it to the french HDTV rip but there's no guarantee that it will work.
28-Oct-2014 11:05 PM
The audio was not synched to the French HDTV rip. The French HDTV rip was used to remove the censorship on the affected frames in the blu-ray video.

I'll keep an eye out for the CAV T2 LD set. If I can get one, I'll send it to you.
I used to have that CAV set, many years ago. Too bad I got rid of it when my LD player died.
7-Sep-2014 8:47 PM
It's also possible that the widescreen scenes in the documentary further matted the original widescreen frames. There's a lot here that doesn't add up and probably won't add up unless an original film print is found. If the movie was shot open-matte, as the video to documentary comparison would indicate, why would they even do a pan-and-scan version at all? Even if it was shot in scope, having more information at the top of the full-frame version that is not in the widescreen version makes no sense.
Well, the opening titles on the DVD and the screen caps I've seen from the Japanese laserdisc are in 1.85:1, so it's possible that the film was actually hard matted to 1.85:1 but it's hard to say for sure without seeing an actual film print.
I finally got around to posting the uncensored Trail Mix-Up video to a certain spleen.
Thanks to jerryshadoe for the soundtrack share. It's very nice.
Now, if only an actual film print were to show up.
3-Sep-2014 1:12 AM
Are there any guides on replacing the video stream on a retail bluray disc? I want to swap out the video streams for the main movie and trail mix-up with the uncensored versions. I thought multiAVCHD had this capability but I can't seem to find it and tsMuxer won't let me select a name for the resulting m2ts file when I remux using the bluray structure, which messes up the playlist and clipinfo files.

Oryx International School, Doha
School tours: Monday starting at 16:00 and Tuesday starting at 10:00, to reserve a place email - tours@oryxschool.qa
Message from the Executive Principal - 12 December 2019
We have reached the end of a fantastic first term at Oryx. Sixteen weeks ago we started with over 1,100 children and now have 1,231 on roll. This represents almost a 100% rise in our student numbers from this time last year. We continue to receive many enquiries and applications for places every week and demand at most primary ages is now reaching our capacity. The success and rise of the school has been quite remarkable not only in student enrolment, but also in staff numbers. We now have 166 staff working at OIS, an increase of more than 60 from last term. All our facilities have been tried and tested and we were delighted in the summer to be able to plan the entire school year in advance, knowing all our wonderful resources and facilities were available. Our excellent FM team from New Image continue to provide outstanding support in all areas of the school.
This rate of growth in such a short period of time is quite exceptional and logistically challenging, however it is testimony to all our staff, students and families who have come together to create such a vibrant school community. Our recent Winter Fair demonstrated just how far we have come as a new school community, with almost 1,800 people attending and enjoying a wonderful family event. Already, Oryx International School is gaining a reputation as one of Qatar’s premier schools and being part of our community is indeed a privilege. Of course, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and we are continually reviewing and improving our provision.
We are well on our way to becoming the 5-star school to which we all aspire, and although there will be more challenges ahead, I am confident that together we will achieve our goal very soon.
I wish you all a very happy and relaxing holiday, whether traveling abroad or staying in Qatar, spending time with family and friends.
We look forward to welcoming you back for our second term on 5th January.
Regards and best wishes for 2020.
Derek Laidlaw
Executive Principal
GCSE Drama
Year 11 GCSE Drama group gave a powerful, impressive and polished performance of a devised piece entitled ‘ Man Up! Sweetheart’, which delighted the audience. This was part of the students’ practical exam and was performed to an invited audience. It covered themes such as Wellbeing, Mental Health and Gender stereotype. Hopefully this will be the start of regular drama performances at Oryx . Congratulations to the students and to our Drama teacher Mrs Nikki Brown.
As I intimated in previous correspondence, I am delighted that Premier Group Sports will provide our After School Care Club as from Sunday 5th January. Students who are currently enrolled (ie with both parents working) will be given priority places at this activity and thereafter, enrolment will be opened to other parents. I hope that we will be able to accommodate more parents with this new service which will cost 20 QAR per child/hour.
I am very pleased that we are continuing to receive updated information from Asghal regarding the imminent construction of a pedestrian crossing opposite the main student entrance opposite Barwa City. This will greatly enhance our road safety outside the school, particularly at the start and end of the school day. This is a significant development made possible by support and intervention from HE Mr Al Baker.
We are expecting two new pedestrian entrance gates to be fitted during the winter break. These will afford us greater security and safer means by which all pedestrians can enter and leave the school. All adults entering the school site will require to be security checked at these points of entry. Anyone not displaying a school ID Lanyard will be required to leave their QID or staff ID with security and wear a visitor’s badge whilst on site. As the school is owned by Qatar Airways, our security measures are a priority.
Security gate A will be located beside the current vehicle gate 2. This will be the only access point between 7.30am and 1.55pm and again between 2.15pm and 4.00pm. This will also be used for early morning drop off (06.30) and after school care club.
Security gate B will be located beside the current vehicle gate 3 (the student gate used at the start and end of the school day). This will be open between) 7.10am and 7.30am and again between 1.55pm and 2.15pm. Thereafter it will be open again for ‘out of hours’ bookings - 4.00pm until 10.00pm, and at weekends.
At Oryx International School, we are always looking for ways to thoroughly support our students’ learning and development and enhance the provision that they receive, ensuring that each child is able to flourish and thrive. With that in mind, we are hoping to offer Speech and Language Therapy sessions to any student that may benefit from them. Specialist Speech and Language Therapists from the Child Development Center, Doha will be running interventions for individuals at school during normal school hours. If you would be interested in your child receiving support from a Speech and Language Therapist here at school please email Mr Peacock, Head of Inclusion, at Michael.peacock@oryxschool.qa where he will be able to provide you with more information about this opportunity.”

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Texas
With the highly specialized field of nurse anesthesia it is not surprising there are fewer places to study. In Texas there are four universities/colleges where CRNA or DNP programs are available. They offer between 2-4 degree programs and have over 420 graduates each year.

Whitehaven Coal attempts to hose down Lock the Gate water claims
/Under News
Pit lake at Maules Creek coal mine. Water is being pumped in via a pipe visible on the high wall, but where from? Image courtesy Wando Conservation and Cultural Centre
Whitehaven Coal, the mining company chaired by former Nationals politician and Deputy Prime Minister, Mark Vaile, has attempted to hose down the expose by Lock the Gate which revealed massive diversion of surface water to the Maules Creek mine, taking water which would otherwise flow into groundwater or into creeks.
North West Protection Advocacy provided a commentary on the water regulation chaos at the Maules Creek coal mine, demonstrating that surface water irregularities are only one of a number of serious problems there.
In its defence, the company has pleaded that it is “highly regulated by a number of robust water laws starting from the early stage of project planning through to post mine closure”.
In fact, regulatory chaos is at the heart of the problem with Maules Creek mine, with a dysfunctional sharing of responsibility between NSW Planning, NSW Resources and Industry, and a great deal of buck-passing between agencies when problems arise.
Lets’ have a brief look and decide for ourselves how “highly regulated” Whitehaven Coal’s water usage really is
1. Their groundwater pumping is NOT METERED using telemetry like other licensed water users.
People are astonished to know that mines can extract unknown quantities of groundwater to lower the water table beneath their excavations, so they they can continue digging deeper. This is because the activity is regulated by the Mining Act, not the Water Act, and only requires a “flow” meter which cannot be properly supervised by the authorities.
2. There is NO Regional Water Strategy.
Despite mine expansion in the Gunnedah Basin equaling the size of the proposed Adani coal mine, regional water strategies are years behind being completed. In the case of the Maules Creek mine, it’s the Leard Mine Precinct Regional Water Strategy. Whitehaven Coal have held this strategy up for over two years because of problems with its nearby Tarrawonga Coal Mine, but have suffered no penalty from NSW Planning.
3. Whitehaven Coal has an outdated Water Management Plan.
In keeping with Whitehaven’s lack of transparency around all aspects of planning and compliance, the company has refused requests from community members to be consulted on the replacement to its outdated Water Management Plan.
The revised Water Management Plan is years overdue. NSW Planning has done nothing to enforce compliance.
4. Maules Creek mine is shielded from the effects of a “Cease to Pump” order.
With the Maules Creek groundwater source in serious collapse, community groups and irrigators have called on the Department of Industry – Water to issue a Cease to Pump Order under the Water Act to deal with the emergency. However, Maules Creek mine owns irrigation licences in the relevant Zone 11 which it needs to maintain in order to offset the groundwater it removes from below its coal mine. The Department refuses to issue the emergency order, placing the mine’s needs above all others.
This means homes are running out of domestic use water, livestock are having to be sold off, and there is serious risk in case of fires because bores don’t have enough water for fire-fighting.
Want to know more about these matters?

If Maules Creek coal mine conducts the massive surface water gathering for the purpose of dust suppression, why was the mine fined by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority last year for failing to suppress dust, as reported here by the Northern Daily Leader?
Water in Maules Creek mine continues to grow, as shown here by time-lapse satellite images compiled by the Maules Creek Community Council.

▼ Separate lines of research show that individuals: a) understand immorality metaphorically as physical contamination; b) project undesirable self-attributes onto others; and c) view punishment as eliminating a transgressor's immorality. Integrating these findings, we hypothesized that individuals project guilt over their own immoral actions - experienced as physical contamination - onto another transgressor whose punishment restores their own perceived moral and physical purity. Study 1 showed that priming participants' own immoral actions decreased their felt physical cleanliness, but not if they were presented with a punished transgressor. Study 2 showed that participants primed with their own immoral actions viewed another transgressor as physically dirtier as a result of their own increased feelings of guilt. Additionally, the subsequent punishment of the contaminated transgressor restored participants' perceived personal morality and eliminated their desire to engage in moral restoration behavior. These studies are the first to show that another's punishment can serve to "cleanse" the self. Advisors/Committee Members: Landau, Mark J. (advisor), Landau, Mark (cmtemember), Branscombe, Nyla R.

▼ Projection bias, the tendency to inaccurately predict the value of goods to be acquired in the future, is a widely studied phenomenon in behavioral economics but its cognitive and neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. In the present study, we aimed to explore how value changes from prediction of a future episode to the realization of that episode both behaviorally and in the brain. Twenty-five young adults (15 females, 10 males) from Cornell University placed bids on a variety of snack foods while undergoing fMRI scanning across two sessions: one while they were hungry and one while they were satiated. While hungry, participants placed bids according to how much they would want snack items in a future hungry state or in a future satiated state. While satiated, participants placed bids according to how much they would want the items immediately after the end of the experiment. We hypothesized that participants would demonstrate a behavioral projection bias in their bidding behavior that would emerge as a result of state-dependent value judgments. Activity in the ventral striatum was positively correlated while activity in the medial dorsal thalamus and mid/posterior insula was negatively correlated with projection bias. More engagement of regions related to reward processing therefore enhance projection bias while more engagement of regions related to physiological awareness and control attenuate projection bias, suggesting that both reward and control systems in the brain influence prospection about the value of future action.

▼ This thesis examines intergroup factors that may prevent a “successful” organisational merger. Towards this end, this thesis focuses on subgroup identities within an organisational merger, and the pursuit of a post-merger context where the existence of pre-merger subgroup identities are accepted and valued, and intergroup conflict is non-existent (i.e., a state of organic pluralism). Models associated with the management of pre- and post-merger identities argue for the benefits of both elimination and retention of pre-merger identities. However, this thesis suggests the answer to the issue of successfully managing subgroup identities within an organisational merger lies in process-based interventions. This thesis contains two theoretical chapters which address: an overview of the organisational and social-psychological literature relevant to the processes of merging groups (Chapter Two), and an introduction to justice literature including methods of increasing perceptions of procedural fairness (Chapter Three). These chapters introduce the benefits of constructing an intervention process within an organisational merger that would alleviate ingroup bias, intergroup conflict and promote perceptions of inclusiveness. The theoretical assumptions of the thesis are then outlined (Chapter Four) and the purpose and original contribution of the thesis is established. Five studies are reported in this thesis. Studies 1 and 2 (Chapter Five) report two field studies undertaken three months prior to a merger (Study 1) and twelve months after a merger had been completed (Study 2). The results from these studies suggest that, although pre-merger subgroups appear ready to move towards an organically pluralistic group, attitudes conducive to intergroup conflict remain present, particularly for low status subgroup members. In addition, the results indicate the subgroup’s social 1 identity may remain some time after the group itself was eradicated, and this may influence group members’ (particularly from the low status group) perceptions of intergroup conflict and attitudes that may hinder organic pluralism. The results of the field studies are summarised (Chapter Six), and it is posited that subgroup members were facilitating a continuity of subgroup membership in the post-merger context through the strategy of ingroup projection, potentially increasing the likelihood of intergroup conflict. The next three studies of the empirical program of the thesis (Studies 3, 4 and 5) are designed to investigate the impact of voice and pre- merger subgroup status within a fictional organisational merger setting and to test the central hypotheses. Status is manipulated in Studies 3 (Chapter Seven), 4 (Chapter Eight) and 5 (Chapter Nine) and voice opportunity is manipulated in Studies 3 and 4. The impact of these…

▼ The motivation to form relationships with others drives people to seek social connection (Baumeister & Leary, 1995). It is therefore functional for those motivated to form social relationships (i.e., high in belongingness need) to infer that others share a similar interest in forging social bonds. The present research examines a motivational explanation for engaging in social projection as a means of facilitating and satisfying one?s own need to belong. I hypothesized that one?s own need to belong would be related to the projection of similar belongingness needs in others, but not other characteristics that are less immediately relevant to satisfying that need. To test this hypothesis, participants guessed the preferences, personality traits, and belongingness needs of an unknown other after first rating themselves on these dimensions. Results show that participants? own need to belong was related to the projection of belongingness needs but was unrelated to the projection of preferences and traits. Additional findings from a field study provide convergent evidence by showing a robust relationship between one?s own belongingness need and the projection of belongingness needs in others. Supporting a motivated cognition perspective, I suggest that the social projection of belongingness needs is an adaptive strategy for regulating one?s belongingness needs by inferring the nature and motives of others who could be potential relationship partners.

▼ The purpose of this work was to study the value of a growth group in effecting changes in attitudes of its members towards one another. It was posited that some of these attitudes were based on members' projections and displacements and that as a result of the group process, these projections and displacements would be resolved. Two personal growth groups were studied whose membership was composed of graduate students at California. State University, Northridge. Each group was facilitated by a different leader. Members completed three questionnaires spaced to occur one after the first meeting, one in the middle of the school semester, and one after the last meeting. Questionnaires were so constructed as to elicit group members' own evaluations of their attitudes, attitude changes, projections, and displacements. It was found that the growth group experience does lend itself to the formulating of attitudes, that some of these attitudes are based on projection and displacement, and that the group, in addition, is a safe arena in which to express attitudes towards each other. Through members' disclosures, interactions, and confrontations with each other in the group, it was also found that the growth group plays an important part in the changing of members' attitudes towards each other.

▼ This dissertation draws upon modern Chomskyan theory to address issues surrounding the development of a unified, minimalist account of language as a mental and biological object, both in terms of its generation and historic change. Towards that end, I investigate, apply, and advance the labeling approach to generative syntax. Labeling is a hypothetical process, operating within the confines of phase theory, which is thought to prepare constructed syntactic objects for interpretation at relevant mental interfaces. I argue a number of points applicable to both synchronic and diachronic linguistics: 1) Labeling failures happen as a matter of course during a derivation, forcing re-evaluation of labeled syntactic structures which ultimately leads to a successful derivation. 2) Labeling and its errors do not happen in real-time, but are bounded by phases. This has consequences for how researchers ought to look at notions and limitations of phasal memory. 3) Labeling not only drives an individual’s mature syntax, but has an effect on how children acquire their syntax, causing them in some cases to alter structures and create new categories. This is responsible for many cases of language change, and I support this argument by investigating data from the history of Chinese and Macedonian that are sensitive to labeling-based phenomena. 4) Research into labeling can help us speculate about the evolution of language generally. Although recursion is sometimes thought to be a defining feature of Universal Grammar, labeling in fact is a much more likely candidate in this regard.

▼ The purpose of my study was to investigate an indigenous form of stone play as a projection medium in child psychological assessment. My theoretical framework was grounded in indigenous psychology. My literature study consulted theory relating to indigenous psychology, indigenous knowledge, play, assessment, asset-based approach and positive psychology. I followed a qualitative research approach, guided by an interpretivist epistemology. I employed an intrinsic case study design and purposefully selected the participant. My data collection methods consisted of interviews with the participant’s mother and observations of the participant during the Masekitlana sessions. I relied on audio-visual methods and a self-reflective journal as methods of data documentation. Six main themes emerged as the result of thematic analysis and interpretation that I have completed. Firstly, I found that during the Masekitlana sessions, the participant mentioned a desire or a huge need for food. Secondly, the participant also experienced conflict in the neighbourhood as a result of living conditions and poverty. This included experiences of peer conflict as well as indirect conflict among adults in the community. Thirdly, environmental factors in the informal settlement came to the foreground, like infrastructure, water supply and housing. In the fourth instance the participant expressed her daily routine of bathing, going to school, doing school work and going home. Fifthly, the participant projected her belief system by mentioning indigenous concepts, such as ‘Naka’ which refers to a sangoma (traditional healer). Lastly positive qualities within the participant are identified as a theme. Masekitlana poses to be a valid projection medium to conduct a psychological assessment with the participant because it provides an authentic psychological image. The standardization of Masekitlana as an assessment medium is suggested. Further research to develop psychological assessment media for children from African origin and culture is needed in South Africa. Copyright Advisors/Committee Members: Dr M Moletsane (advisor).

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo central investigar o impacto das leis penais no processo de individuação, tal como concebido por Carl Gustav Jung. Para tanto, após esclarecidas questões relativas aos pressupostos teóricos da pesquisa junguiana, explorar-se-ão os passos principais do processo de individuação, procurando-se proporcionar uma introdução geral ao pensamento de Jung. Num segundo momento, procurar-se-á investigar o papel do Direito Penal na projeção da sombra humana e, por consequência, no processo de individuação. Sugerir-se-á, então, um caminho para que o Direito Penal possa verdadeiramente se inclinar ao fomento da integridade almejada pelo processo de individuação. Ao final, procurar-se-á argumentar que toda a busca, ainda que aparentemente assustadora, justifica-se em virtude daquilo que parece reservado a quem logra individuar-se.
This research intends to investigate the impact of criminal laws in the process of individuation, as conceived by Carl Gustav Jung. In order to do so, basic issues related to Junguian theoretical research will be explained, as well as the main steps of the process of individuation, seeking to provide a general introduction to Jungs thought. The role played by criminal laws in the projection of the human shadow, and, consequently, in the process of individuation itself will also be examined. Subsequently, this paper will suggest a path that Criminal Law could follow in order to truly promote human integrity, which is the main goal of the process of individuation. Finally, it will be argued that such a journey, although apparently frightening, is justified because of what seems to be reserved for those who manage to accomplish the process of individuation.

▼ The current research tests whether the inferences people make about likable and dislikable targets align with the predictions of balance theory. Specifically, I hypothesized that people exhibit a liking-similarity effect by perceiving greater similarity with a likable person than a dislikable person. In Studies 1 and 2, the liking-similarity effect was tested by manipulating the likable or dislikable impression of a target person and then assessing perceptions of similarity with the targets. In Study 1, participants rated themselves on various trait and attitude dimensions and made inferences about two targets – one likable and one dislikable – on those same dimensions.In Study 2, participants inferred the attitudes of a likable and dislikable target in regard to objects that participants had either positive or negative attitudes toward. Across both studies, people exhibited a liking-similarity effect by perceiving greater similarity with a likable than dislikable person.In Study 3, individual differences related to balance theory (i.e., preference for consistency and self-esteem) were tested as moderators of the liking-similarity effect. People with a strong, as compared to weak, preference for consistency were hypothesized to exhibit a greater liking-similarity effect because such inferences maximize cognitive balance. Similarly, people with high, as compared to low, self-esteem were hypothesized to exhibit a greater liking-similarity effect because perceiving similarity with likable targets maximizes balance for people who hold a similarly positive attitude about their own self-worth. Study 3 confirmed these hypotheses. Next, I manipulated participants’ preference for consistency (Study 4) and self-esteem (Study 5) to identify the potential causal relationship these variables may have with the liking-similarity effect. In Study 4,participants’ preference for consistency was manipulated by writing about the importance of consistency, inconsistency, or an unrelated value. In Study 5,participants’ self-esteem was manipulated via inclusion or exclusion during asocial game. Neither the preference for consistency nor self-esteem manipulation affected the liking-similarity effect. Participants in both studies, regardless of condition, continued to perceive greater similarity with likable, than dislikable, targets. Discussion focuses on the nature of the liking-similarity effect, its resistance to experimental manipulation, as well as possible implications for social cognition and behavior.

▼ Although there has been extensive research on stereotype evaluation (positive or negative) and accuracy (accurate or inaccurate), little attention has been paid to potency (activation or no activation) in stereotypic perceptions cross-culturally. According to the Evaluation-Potency-Accuracy (EPA) model, the potency dimension has a direct impact on stereotypes. The current study is a cross-cultural (American and Chinese cultures) examination of this assumption. Evaluation and accuracy were also assessed. In addition, the current study examined the role of egocentrism and projection for low potency groups. Ninety-five participants (53 American and 42 Chinese students) from the University of Toledo were asked to free-associate about 10 cultural pictures and make judgments about themselves, the ingroup, and the outgroup. Results showed that participants had significantly more potency and accuracy about the ingroup than the outgroup and they evaluated the outgroup neutrally (neither positive nor negative). Furthermore, the current findings supported that participants used self-information (i.e., egocentric processes) to make judgments about the unfamiliar group. Discussions and implications are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Lee, Yueh-Ting (Committee Chair).

▼ What if we could experience and see more than meets the eye? What if we could envision a multitude of existing realities being unveiled to us simultaneously? What if we could float in and out through different temporal representations inside the expanded field of our consciousness and retain everything together into one single continuum? What would this multiplicity look like to us? My artistic practice, a hybrid of video, image and object making, investigates the phenomenon of perception and the constraints and boundaries between the senses and knowing. This supporting paper maps out the creative influences and experiments behind the four installation pieces presented in my thesis exhibition Simultaneous World show at the Gales gallery, York University.

Människor verkar tro att de är vanliga och som alla andra, men är det verkligen så eller tillskriver vi andra våra egna beteenden? Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband i hur ungdomar projicerar sitt normbrytande beteende och hur de uppfattar sina kamrater. Människor tenderar att tro att andra reagerar på samma sätt som de själva gör, och därmed se sitt eget beteende som det typiska. För att undersöka projektionen användes en enkätstudie som ungdomar på en högstadieskola fick besvara. I enkäten skulle eleverna uppskatta sitt eget beteende och sina kompisars beteenden. Resultaten visar att ungdomar tenderade att projicera sitt eget normbrytande beteende på sina kompisar men att de inte var speciellt lika varandra i detta beteende.
People tend to see their own behaviour as relatively common, is it really like that or do we prescribe others our own behaviours? This study examined correlations between adolescents´ perception and their peers´ reports of delinquent behaviour. People tend to imagine that everyone responds the way they do and they tend to see their own behaviour as typical. To examine the projection a survey was handed out to students in a junior high school. The survey contained questions about the students’ own behaviour and their friends’ behaviour. Findings revealed that adolescents´ tended to project their own delinquent behaviours on their peers although they were not particularly alike.

How Colourful and Feathery Were the Dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs are depicted as naked, scaly reptiles, but evidence shows they were much more bird-like
Jurassic Park (1993) featured Velociraptors hunting park visitors, depicting them as wily lizard-like predators. Time and science, however, have been unkind to the filmmakers. Velociraptors and most other dinosaurs were bird-like creatures. Even Tyrannosaurs rex is believed to have sported a plume (more “terrible emu” than “terrible lizard”).
“Over the past 10 to 15 years we have come to realise that dinosaurs possessed feathers. Not just some, but lots of them,” says Dr Maria McNamara at University College Cork. All sorts of feathered dinosaurs lived during the Jurassic – 201 to 145 million years ago (mya) – with feathers evolving first for insulation and display, not flight.
“Dinosaurs were depicted as these naked, scaly reptiles. Jurassic Park did that. But discoveries in China changed our perception. They were much more bird-like,” says palaeontologist Dr Jakob Vinther at the University of Bristol. Though there are no fossils of Velociraptors with feathers, Chinese fossils prove their relatives were covered in them.
Dinosaurs experimented with feather designs and shapes. Vinther recently re-examined fossils of a dinosaur called Anchiornis, from the Jurassic. Whereas modern birds have a long central shaft, barbs and then filaments that seal feathers together, Anchiornis was different: “[It] had a short shaft, but then long barbs coming off and bundles of filaments. It would have given the dinosaur a much fluffier appearance; more like a shaggy mammal than a bird,” Vinther says.
In 2017, lasers were used to study traces of soft tissue from Anchiornis and revealed a four-winged dinosaur with drumstick shaped legs, padded feet, a slender tail and an arm similar to a modern bird’s wing. The crow-sized dinosaur may have glided through its woodland home.
Upending science
The first bird is still seen by many as Archaeopteryx (150 mya), a famous fossil discovered in the 19th century in a limestone quarry in Germany. Dublin Zoo put a cast of an Archaeopteryx fossil in its Zoorassic World gallery where visitors can see feather impressions, teeth and a long bony tail, a hodgepodge of dinosaur and bird.
But it was discoveries in China that upended dinosaur science. “We went from a dozen specimens of Archaeopteryx to tens of thousands of feathered specimens, each of which was as amazing,” says Prof Mike Benton, senior dinosaur expert at the University of Bristol. “The level of detail just blew away the field because of the richness of data.”
At the start of his career in the 1980s, Benton was taught Archaeopteryx had about 30 features that set them apart from dinosaurs, including feathers, hallowed bones, reduction of teeth and a wish bone. “All these have been now found in dinosaurs, except one: Powered flight,” says Benton. All parts of the dinosaur family tree had feathers. At a minimum, feathers evolved with early theropod dinosaurs about 200-250 mya, two-legged flesh-eating dinosaurs that gave rise to T. rex.
Feather colour
By examining the shape of granules holding the pigment melanin, scientists such as McNamara have helped decipher the colour of feathers. The first reconstruction of colour was carried out by scientists at the University of Bristol and palaeontologist Dr Patrick Orr at University College Dublin in 2010, reported in the journal Nature. It revealed Sinosauropteryx had a feather-like covering of orange and brown and a striped white and orange tail, probably for display purposes.
In 2014, McNamara co-authored a paper in the journal Science describing a Jurassic dinosaur from Siberia that resembled a flightless bird such as an emu or ostrich (except it had a long tail). This was the first ever example of a plant-eating dinosaur with feathers and scales. Before that, it was only the flesh-eating theropods that were found with feathers. Today, palaeontologists suspect large dinosaurs lacking feathers lost them during evolution, similar to how large mammals such as elephants lost fur.
“If we didn’t have all these fossils from China, our understanding of dinosaurs would be very different today,” says Vinther. “Birds are dinosaurs.”
A land of feathered dragons
Northeast China is ground zero for a revolution in how we see dinosaurs. A huge area in Liaoning province has well-preserved fossils of feathered dinosaurs and early birds, which are remarkably widespread. “The area is huge, probably about 1,000 square kilometres,” says Benton. “It is a little unclear why the fossils are so exceptionally preserved, but lots of the sediment has volcanic ash. For some locations, it seems fossils were captured in ash, a little like Pompeii.”
Most seem to be buried in lake beds or marshes, and many people dig them out to sell to museums and collectors.
The fossils have shifted scientists’ views on how dinosaurs looked and behaved. Many apparently had bright feathers, like birds today, which could have driven sexual selection. Benton says: “There are so many species of these small theropod dinosaurs. It may be that sexual selection was spinning up the number of species.”

In conclusion, in the consecutive surveillance for HCC after the initiation of ETV treatment, monitoring the change of the AFP level at 24 weeks is important, especially among
patients with advanced age or cirrhosis. Disclosures: Eiji Mita – Grant/Research Support: MSD Tetsuo Takehara – Grant/Research Support: Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., MSD K.K. The following people have nothing to disclose: Ryoko Yamada, Naoki Hira-matsu, Yuki Tahata, Naoki Morishita, GSK126 supplier Naoki Harada, Tsugiko Oze, Takayuki Yakushijin, Sadaharu Iio, Yoshinori Doi, Masahide Oshita, Toshifumi Ito, Taizo Hijioka, Kazuhiro Katayama, Shinji Tamura, Harumasa Yoshihara, Yasuharu Imai, Takuya Miyagi, Yuichi Yoshida, Tomohide Tatsumi, Norio Hayashi Background/Aims: The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma Selleckchem Pexidartinib (HCC) is high among patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis by chronic hepatitis B (CHB) or chronic hepatitis C (CHC). However, limited data are available whether the risk of HCC is different among patients with CHB vs CHC after treatment. It is also not clear whether the achievement of virologic response (VR) might modify the risk of HCC differently between patients
with CHB and CHC. Methods: We compared the data from a historical cohort of CHB patients treated with entecavir between 2007 and 2011 (N=2,000) and a cohort of CHC patients treated with peg-interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin between 2004 and 2008 (N=497). VR was defined as HBV DNA <15 IU/ mL at 1-year of treatment for CHB or the achievement of sustained virological response (SVR) for CHC. Data for HCC were collected from patients for up to 6 years and analyzed by selleck chemical mul-tivariable Cox proportional hazards model for the entire cohort and for the subcohort with VR. Results: At baseline, patients with CHB were more likely to be younger (mean, 47 years vs 52 years),
to be male (64 %vs 57%), and to have cirrhosis (54 %vs 19%), compared with those with CHC (P<0.001 for all). VR was achieved in 1520 (76.0%) and 312 (62.8%) patients in CHB and CHC cohorts, respectively. During the follow-up period, 156 patients (7.8%) and 38 patients (7.6%) in the CHB and CHC cohorts, respectively, developed HCC. By multivariable Cox analysis, there was no significant difference in the risk of HCC between the CHB and CHC cohorts (hazard ratio [HR], 1.50; 95 %confidence interval [CI], 0.94-2.38; P=0.09). Among patients without VR, the risk of HCC was not different between the CHB and CHC cohorts (HR, 0.88; 95 %CI, 0.42-1.88; P=0.75). However, CHB patients with VR was independently associated with a significantly higher risk of HCC than CHC patients with SVR (HR, 2.81; 95 %CI, 1.35-5.86; P=0.006) after adjusting for age, gender, presence of cirrhosis, albumin level, and platelet count. Conclusions: Patients with CHB treated by entecavir seem to have similar risk of HCC compared to those with CHC treated with peg-interferon and ribavirin. However, the risk of HCC was higher in CHB patients with VR compared to CHC patients with SVR.

In mice lacking Mcl-1 specifically in hepatocytes (Mcl-1Δhep), spontaneous apoptosis caused severe liver damage. Here, we demonstrate that chronically increased apoptosis of hepatocytes coincides Epigenetic Reader Domain inhibitor with strong hepatocyte proliferation resulting in hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC). Liver cell tumor formation was observed in >50% of Mcl-1Δhep mice already by the age of 8 months, whereas 12-month-old wild-type (wt) and heterozygous Mcl-1flox/wt mice lacked tumors. Tumors revealed a heterogenous spectrum ranging from small dysplastic nodules to HCC. The neoplastic nature of the tumors was confirmed by histology, expression of the HCC marker glutamine synthetase and chromosomal aberrations. Liver carcinogenesis in Mcl-1Δhep mice was paralleled by markedly increased levels of Survivin, an important regulator of mitosis which is selectively overexpressed in common
human cancers. Conclusion: This study provides in vivo evidence that increased apoptosis of hepatocytes not only impairs liver homeostasis but is also accompanied by hepatocyte proliferation and hepatocarcinogenesis. Our findings might have implications for understanding apoptosis-related human liver diseases. (HEPATOLOGY 2010.) The survival of multicellular organisms depends on the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Under physiological conditions, apoptosis contributes to liver homeostasis Selleck Dabrafenib by removing damaged hepatocytes. Proliferation, growth, and programmed hepatocyte cell death are highly coordinated and tightly controlled events in the normal liver.1 On the one hand, increased apoptosis sensitivity contributes to liver injury. On the other hand, defective apoptosis was demonstrated to lead to excessive hepatocellular survival and has emerged as a major mechanism by which premalignant hepatocytes obtain a competitive advantage over normal liver cells.2 Various molecular alterations have been characterized
that cause an imbalance in the regulation of apoptosis. Among these are alterations in p53 signaling, expression of death receptors, growth factors, and mitochondrial integrity.3 Decreased activity of proapoptotic signaling as well as increased selleck activity of antiapoptotic events are associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and progression.4 Among the main cellular changes that trigger apoptosis of hepatocytes is the permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane followed by the release of proapoptotic factors.5 The B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein family plays a pivotal role for mitochondrial integrity and the selective interactions between proapoptotic and antiapoptotic family members regulate mitochondrial activation.6 Bcl-2 family members are similar within the Bcl-2 homology (BH) regions (BH1 through BH4) and can be divided into proapoptotic and antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins.

“Wnt signaling is important for cancer pathogenesis and is often up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) function as coreceptors or modulators of Wnt activation. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is an HSPG that is highly expressed in HCC, where it can attract Wnt proteins to the cell surface and promote cell proliferation. Thus, GPC3 has emerged as a candidate therapeutic target in liver cancer. While monoclonal antibodies to GPC3 are currently being evaluated in preclinical and clinical studies, none have shown an
effect on Wnt signaling. Here, we first document the expression of Wnt3a, multiple Wnt receptors, and GPC3 in several Crizotinib clinical trial HCC cell lines, and demonstrate that GPC3 enhanced the activity of Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling in these cells. Then we report the identification
of HS20, a human monoclonal antibody against GPC3, which preferentially recognized the heparan sulfate chains of GPC3, both the sulfated and nonsulfated portions. HS20 disrupted the interaction of Wnt3a and GPC3 and blocked Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling. Moreover, HS20 inhibited Wnt3a-dependent cell proliferation in vitro and HCC xenograft growth in nude mice. In addition, HS20 had no detectable undesired toxicity Cisplatin cost in mice. Taken together, our results show that a monoclonal antibody primarily targeting the heparin sulfate chains of GPC3 inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signaling in HCC cells and had potent antitumor activity in vivo. Conclusion:
An antibody directed against the heparan sulfate of a proteoglycan shows efficacy in blocking Wnt signaling and HCC growth, selleck suggesting a novel strategy for liver cancer therapy. (Hepatology 2014;60:576–587) “
“Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is usually self-limited but may lead to acute hepatitis and rarely to fulminant hepatic failure. Persistent HEV infections have recently been described in organ transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive medications, suggesting that HEV is controlled by adaptive immune responses. However, only few studies have investigated HEV-specific T-cell responses and immune correlates for the failure to clear HEV infection have not been established so far. We investigated T-cell responses against HEV in 38 subjects including anti-HEV-positive (exposed, n = 9) and anti-HEV-negative (n = 10) healthy controls, 12 anti-HEV-positive but HEV RNA-negative organ transplant recipients, and seven transplant recipients with chronic hepatitis E. Proliferation as well as cytokine production of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was studied after stimulation with overlapping peptides spanning all proteins encoded by HEV-open reading frame (ORF)2 and HEV-ORF3.

“Gastric cancer (GC) continues to be an important health threat as the third leading cause of cancer related death in both sexes worldwide. In a recent analysis, the mortality trends for the time period from 1980 till 2011 were significantly downward in all countries, but the declines in the USA, EU and several other major countries were of low magnitude when compared with the past. Furthermore, the relative contribution of cardia cancers compared with noncardia cancers increased among countries with higher
GC rates. With respect to preneoplastic changes of the gastric mucosa, a large population-based study suggests that Helicobacter pylori infection and antigastric parietal cell antibodies-mediated autoimmune response might, for the most part, be independent and follow distinct pathways rather than causally related pathways leading to chronic atrophic gastritis. A large prospective, randomized, open-label Korean trial questioned the role of H. pylori eradication for the prevention of metachronous lesions after endoscopic resection of early GC. A review of 1258 Japanese cases undergoing curative endoscopic submucosa dissection for early GC showed that scheduled follow-up endoscopy is mandatory for detecting metachronous lesions at an early stage, where they can be treated by endoscopic resection.

8, 9 In a microarray analysis of liver tissue from infants with a so-called embryonic form of biliary atresia in which extrahepatic malformations and early onset of cholestatic jaundice occur, a unique pattern of expression of genes involved in chromatin integrity and function and overexpression of five imprinted genes was found, http://www.selleckchem.com/products/Deforolimus.html implying a failure to down-regulate embryonic gene programs that influence the development of the liver and other organs.10 Heterozygous CFC1 (encoding the cryptic protein) mutations have been rarely associated with biliary atresia and polysplenia, and therefore may represent a genetic predisposition to this pattern of malformations.11 So what
can the sea lamprey tell us about the human condition? It is important to emphasize that the entire biliary apparatus of larvae including bile canaliculi disappears completely during normal metamorphosis in contrast to the pathological state of human biliary atresia.12, 13 However, it would be interesting and informative with regard to the embryonic form of human biliary atresia to understand the genetic programming underlying disappearance of biliary apparatus in the
sea lamprey. As might be expected, the degeneration of bile ducts occurs via programmed cell death ITF2357 mw or apoptosis in a related, nonparasitic lamprey, Lethenteron reissner, and in the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus.15, 16 Similar to the lamprey, several reports have documented cholangiocyte apoptosis as evidenced by positive transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining of cholangiocytes in the livers
see more of patients with biliary atresia. Although apoptosis is a normal process in remodeling of the mammalian ductal plate during liver development, it would not be expected in the extrahepatic biliary system except as part of the process of immunologic ductal injury.16 In the lamprey the order of degeneration of bile ducts, i.e., intrahepatic versus extrahepatic, is variable between species. In the sea lamprey the degenerative process is asynchronous, and occurs more rapidly in small peripheral biliary components than in larger, medial ducts.12, 13 There is gradual disruption of tight junctions at the bile canaliculi and relocalization of membrane enzymes including alkaline phosphatase, adenosinetriphosphatase, and 5′-nucleotidase from apical to lateral membranes. In the human the most severe focus of injury is in the extrahepatic biliary system. The intrahepatic bile ducts respond initially with ductular proliferation and may be obstructed by bile plugs. Further and irreversible injury results from the noxious effects of biliary obstruction and probable ongoing immunologic damage that is variably relieved by the Kasai hepato-portoenterostomy operation.17 In adult lampreys, there seem to be no immediate consequences from the absence of a biliary system for the elimination of bile products.

Over the next 2 weeks, the patient reported a dramatic clinical response to gabapentin, with complete relief of her head pain. NH were first characterized by Pareja et al in 2002.[1] According to the Appendix of the International Classification of Headaches Disorders, 2nd edition,[2] AZD3965 manufacturer NH is defined as a primary neuralgia unrelated to an underlying disorder
or malignancy in which pain is characteristically localized to a single round, oval, or elliptical area typically 2-6 cm in diameter on the head surface.[1, 2] The chronic pain is either continuous or episodic with spontaneous remissions lasting weeks to months.[1, 2] More than two-thirds of patients suffer from the continuous type of NH.[3] The pain typically associated with NH is of a pressure-like or stabbing quality and of mild-to-moderate
intensity.[4] Most cases of NH are usually localized to the right parietal region (53.7%), although cases of left-sided frontal (11.7%), temporal (13.0%), and occipital (19.6%) headaches have been documented.[3, 5] The pain does not radiate or change shape/size and is typically unifocal – although cases of bifocal and even multifocal headaches have been reported.4-6 On exam, patients may demonstrate touch-evoked paresthesias or even thinness of the skin in the painful area.[4, 5] There is no definitive diagnostic tool in making the assessment of NH. It is important for the clinician to perform a full work-up so Sirolimus mouse as to rule out any other intrinsic disease process that may be responsible for this localized pain. A majority of those suffering from NH are females in their mid-40s and -50s.[3] Patients rarely experience any accompanying symptoms, learn more and there have not been any precipitating factors identified in studies to date.[5] Studies thus far have identified response among patients to treatment with NSAIDS – including indomethacin7-9 – as well as with gabapentin,6,10-12 botulinum
toxin,[13, 14] carbamazepine,[3, 15] tricyclic antidepressants,[9] and neurotropin.[16] Recent studies utilizing transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation have also been reported to be effective.[17] Of all these, gabapentin has been the most widely utilized, although none have yet been identified as achieving complete resolution of the headaches. The pathophysiology behind NHs remains controversial; it is widely believed that the localized, sharply delineated borders of the painful area seen in NH suggests a peripherally mediated pain mechanism.[1, 7] Even multifocal cases of NH – in which each symptomatic area has been observed to maintain all the same characteristics – helps to reinforce the argument for a peripherally mediated pain origin.[5] Some studies have even suggested that this peripheral pain associated with NH may specifically be a neuropathy of a terminal branch of a cutaneous scalp nerve and a focal, nociceptive-type pain stemming from epicranial tissues.

of hypopigmentation in a dose-dependent manner for more than 1 year, whereas the corresponding parental plasmid did not result in any phenylalanine clearance. MC vectors persisted in an episomal state in the liver consistent with sustained transgene expression and hepatic PAH enzyme activity without any apparent adverse effects. Moreover, 14-20% of all hepatocytes expressed transgenic PAH, and the expression was observed exclusively in the liver and predominately around pericentral areas of the hepatic lobule, while there was no transgene expression in periportal areas.

“Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common condition affecting up to 25% of the developed world. It is a progressive disease, leading in some to the development of liver cirrhosis. Currently, accurate diagnosis and staging of this condition is only possible with histological examination of
a liver biopsy. This gold standard test is neither suitable nor practical for large-scale use as is necessary for a condition Torin 1 cell line as common as NAFLD. The aim of this study is to describe the proteome of human NAFLD using two distinct shotgun proteomic methods, translating the findings into potential biomarkers of NAFLD. Two distinct shotgun proteomic techniques (iTRAQ and find more label free) were used to describe the proteome of NAFLD. Thereafter, candidate biomarkers were selected for validation by ELISA. Over 550 protein identifications were made in the description of the NAFLD proteome. Several proteins were found to be significantly up/downregulated in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis compared with control, including apolipoprotein E (fold ratio of 1.67), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3, fold ratio of 1.642), Vitamin D-binding protein (fold ratio of 4.587), and lymphocyte cytosolic
protein1 (LCP1, fold ratio of 4.356). ELISA validation of a subset of these proteins confirms the validity of the proteomic studies and suggests possible new biomarkers of NAFLD. Serum markers are able to distinguish between the stages of disease in NAFLD as well as detect the grade of fibrosis. Ultimately, noninvasive serum markers may replace liver biopsy in the investigation of patients with suspected NAFLD. “

PCT Hikers take a break at Crystal Lake hatchery
Article by Alex Colvin and photos by LACE Photography
After enjoying the music and food at the 36th Annual Deep Pit Barbecue at the Hat Creek Hereford Ranch Campground on Saturday July 18, my wife Linda and I were uncertain what to do next. I had been thinking of checking out some local fishing spots to get pictures for a story on fishing. However, we were both a little tired so we decided to head back to Burney.
Heading south on highway 89, a small caravan of Model A Fords was slowing traffic. Linda loves vintage cars so we decided to let the fast vehicles move on and just join the parade of old cars. The Model A’s turned right on Cassel Road and we followed.
Following the Model A’s
We drove over the Rising River, past Clint Eastwood’s ranch and into Cassel. As we drove through Cassel, I saw a line of fishermen on the bank of Hat Creek across the road from the PGE campground. I was tempted to stop but instead continued on with the vintage parade. We had seen these cars at the barbecue but we didn’t know where they were from or where they were going and we were curious.
Amercian White Pelicans on Baum Lake
When they passed Baum Lake Road, however, we decided to turn right and go over to Crystal and Baum Lakes. As we drove into the parking area at Baum Lake, Linda let out a little exclamation of joy. The lake was filled with American white pelicans that we loved to photograph.
Fisherman on Baum Lake by PCT Trail
There were a number of families picnicking by the lake. One man was paddling in a small rubber raft through the reeds and grasses that had grown up in the recent hot weather. Over by the white water where the water from Crystal Lake flows into Baum Lake two more young fellows were fishing.
Baum Lake is named after Frank Baum, a world-famous hydroelectric engineer who designed the hydroelectric power sites on the Pit River from Pit 1 to Pit 8. While investigating potential power sources in Shasta County in the early 1900’s, he bought the Crystal Lake Ranch where he later built the Hat 1 and Hat 2 power stations.
Baum Lake in a hot July
He also built a home where the water flows between Crystal Lake and Baum Lake. Baum lived there with his wife until his death in 1932. The house burned down in 1936 and was never replaced. In 1939, his widow, Mary, sold the property to PG&E. PG&E later leased some of the land across the road from the lakes to the state of California where they began the Crystal Lake Fish Hatchery in 1947.
The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) runs right over the bridge between the two lakes where Baum’s home was and then continues up alongside Baum Lake towards Hwy 299.
After Linda and I took some pictures, we decided to head home. At the entrance to the park, a young man and woman with back packs were standing by the road.
PCT hikers Sara bishop and Adam Kirby
“Hi!” I said, “Are you hiking the trail.
“Yes,” the bearded young man answered.
“Would you like a ride into Burney?”
“No thanks. We saw a sign posted on the trail that said there was free beer and food at the fish hatchery. Have you seen a third hiker. We were hiking with a friend and we’re not sure where he went.”
We told them that we hadn’t and pointed out the fish hatchery and headed on toward Burney. After driving only a few hundred yards though, I said to Linda, “Wow! I should go back. I’ve been wanting to write about the PCT for awhile. We should go talk with them.”
The Model A Ford Club of Quincy
So we turned around and drove into the parking lot of the fish hatchery. The funny thing was, when we drove in, we saw the very cars we had been following parked by the table where the hikers were sitting.
So, while I introduced myself to the hikers, Linda went to meet the motorists. They were members of the Model A Club of Quincy on a tour of Northern California.
I introduced myself to the hikers. There were three now because they had found their friend, Kelly Cohoe, from Portland Oregon. The two other hikers we had met earlier were Sara Bishop from New York and Adam Kirby from Seattle, Washington.
Adam was hiking the whole 2,660 miles of the PCT northbound. He had started April 21th. Sara was also hiking the whole trail. She had begun hiking north on April 26th. They had been hiking together since they had met at about mile 600. Adam said that he was hoping to reach the end of the trail before the end of September.
PCT hiker Kelly Cohoe
Kelly, whom they called “Flying Eagle,” was a section hiker. This year he was hiking 1065 miles. Once he finished, he would have hiked the entire trail. Kelly had met Sara and Adam the night before when they had camped at the Hat Creek Hereford Ranch Campground, the very place where Linda and I and the Model A Club had just been at the barbecue.
But while we had been enjoying a hefty barbecue and music and touring, the hikers had been hiking almost 30 miles on a stretch with no water. So they were very happy to have this break, refill their bottles and rehydrate.
Happy PCT hikers rehydrating
We talked for awhile about their journey. I learned that a zero is a day that a person logs no miles on the trail. A nero is a day that one only hikes half or less of their normal days hike. These hikers normally hiked 22 to 30 miles a day.
I told them that Burney was a PCT friendly town. There are several access points to the trail including Baum Lake, a station near Hwy 89, the crossing at 299, Burney Falls State Park, and Rock Creek Falls. Many of the Burney Residents enjoy giving hikers rides to and from Burney where there is a Safeway store and a health food store where they can stock up on food and drink. Burney also has other local businesses who like to serve the hikers and residents who are willing to supply a place to stay or camp if they want to take a break. It’s also a great rendezvous point for people who want to meet friends or loved ones who are hiking the trail. Burney is just over half way from Mexico to Canada.
After chatting for awhile, Linda and I wished them well, jumped in our Jeep and headed to Johnson Park for ice cream.
“Wow!” I thought, “You never know what great experiences you will have if you just get in your vehicle and drive around Pit River Country!”

Port of Zeebrugge
ZEEHAVEN VAN BRUGGE
The annual study of the National Bank of Belgium demonstrates the importance of Flemish ports as the economic engine of Flanders. Zeebrugge has grown into an important maritime crossroads, which has essential consequences for employment, added value and investments.
About 400 companies are active in the port area, which extends to Bruges. Together they realise a direct added value of more than 935 million euros (2014). Indirectly, the port creates another 767 million euros.
The port directly employs 9,365 people. Together with the indirect employees, the port creates 19,570 jobs. The majority of the direct employees live in Bruges, but also in Knokke-Heist and Damme.
On an annual basis the port invests approximately 250 million euros. The port authority is mainly investing in pure infrastructure (especially quay walls and jetties), while the private companies finance the necessary superstructure (cranes, warehouses, rolling stock). The Flemish government is investing in maritime access (locks, dredging works) and the opening up of the port through the road. The federal government guarantees an optimal rail connection through Infrabel.
