OvaFlo promoters donate stove to Pell River Primary
MONTEGO BAY, St James – Promoters of OvaFlo, Elvis Haughton and Denzel “Fada” Scott, have over the years packed countless party venues in Negril and Hanover with partygoers in safe, harmonious environments.
In recent times the event has taken on added significance with the duo's resolve to help solve some of the many problems facing primary and basic schools in the parish of Hanover through their charitable donations directly from proceeds of the annual event.
Since establishing the Elvis Haughton Charity Foundation three years ago, the duo has funded projects at the Harding Primary School, ABC Learning Centre and Green Island Primary School, all in Hanover, which have benefited hundreds of students.
And this year, despite the inclement weather, which impacted negatively on the staging of OvaFlo in October, the promoters made good on their promise and donated a stove valued at almost $300,000 to the Pell River Primary School in Hanover.
The stove on which the students' meals were prepared on a daily basis was in a deplorable and hazardous state.
Recently, Principal Opal Allen-Delisser was invited to join Scott and Elvis at the Montego Bay branch of Appliance Traders Ltd in Montego Bay, where a brand new industrial stove was handed over to her.
“I am lost for words,” said an elated Delisser, as she expressed gratitude for the donation.
“It's all about giving back to the community, it's about love, about our children's future. Despite all that is said about partygoers and party promoters, Scott and I care enough to try and make a difference,” said Haughton.

Too Black to be French
In this documentary film, Isabelle Boni-Claverie explores the role of race and the persistence of racism in France, as well as the impact of the French colonial past. Through an exploration of her personal family history, and interviews with historians and academics, TOO BLACK TO BE FRENCH peels back the layers of race relations in supposedly institutionally colorblind France. Boni-Claverie, a French-Ivorian, who grew up in upper class French society, unpacks how socio-economic privilege doesn’t mean protection from racial discrimination. Boni-Claverie solicits anonymous individuals to speak on their daily experiences with race, class, discrimination and micro-aggressions. TOO BLACK TO BE FRENCH also features interviews with acclaimed sociologists and historians including Pap Ndiaye, Eric Fassin, Achille Mbembe, and Patrick Simon to help contextualize racial history in France. Boni-Claverie’s film starts an urgent discussion on French society's inequalities and discrimination.
Mrs. Goundo's Daughter
Mrs. Goundo is fighting to remain in the United States. But it’s not just because of the ethnic conflict and drought that has plagued her native Mali. Threatened with deportation, her two-year-old daughter could be forced to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM), like 85 percent of women and girls in Mali. Using rarely cited grounds for political asylum, Goundo must convince an immigration judge that her daughter is in danger. Sensitive and moving, this important film reveals how women are profoundly affected by the legal struggles surrounding immigration. As issues of asylum, international law and human rights collide with FGM and its devastating health consequences, filmmakers Barbara Attie and Janet Goldwater travel between an FGM ceremony in a Malian village, where dozens of girls are involved, to the West African expatriate community of Philadelphia, where Mrs. Goundo challenges beliefs and battles the American legal system for her child’s future.
Chisholm '72 - Unbought and Unbossed
This compelling documentary takes an in-depth look at the 1972 presidential campaign of Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress and the first to seek nomination for the highest office in the land.
What My Mother Told Me
Exquisitely beautiful and profoundly moving, WHAT MY MOTHER TOLD ME is a dramatic journey towards self discovery. The story focuses on Jesse, a young woman from England, who goes to Trinidad to bury her father. Reluctantly she agrees to meet her mother, whom she thought had abandoned her when she was a child. Her mother tells her stories, revealing a troubled and violent marriage, and Jesse is forced to face the truth about her past. WHAT MY MOTHER TOLD ME cleverly evokes complex connections between history, memory, violence and cultural identity.
A bittersweet drama that unfolds almost without dialogue, this prizewinning short film from Sankofa Film and Video conveys the isolation of immigrant women’s experiences. Miriam lives with her children in a cramped and dreary house near the airport where she works. The planes coming and going overhead remind her of how far removed she is from her rural African roots. Eventually Miriam constructs a beautiful mud hut in her garden, a magical space which takes her away from the loneliness crowding her suburban existence. Although her neighbors are intolerant, her daughter Fumi learns something about the African side of herself.
This bold, stunning exploration of a white mother who undergoes a radical mastectomy and her Black daughter who embarks on a modeling career reveals the profound effects of body image and the strain of racial and sexual identity on their charged, intensely loving bond. At the heart of Onwurah’s brave excursion into her mother’s scorned sexuality is a provocative interweaving of memory and fantasy. The filmmaker plumbs the depths of maternal strength and daughterly devotion in an unforgettable tribute starring her real-life mother, Madge Onwurah.
I Is a Long-Memoried Woman
This extraordinary film chronicles the history of slavery through the eyes of Caribbean women. A striking combination of monologue, dance, and song—griot-style—conveys a young African woman’s quest for survival in the new world. Based on award-winning poems by Guyanese British writer Grace Nichols, the evocatively rendered story charts abusive conditions on sugar plantations, acts of defiance and the rebellion which led to eventual freedom. Produced by a Black women’s collective, I IS A LONG-MEMORIED WOMAN illuminates Black diasporic culture and heritage.
Perfect Image?
Bright and imaginative in its approach to its subject, PERFECT IMAGE? exposes stereotypical images of Black women and explores women's own ideas of self worth. Using two actresses who constantly change their personae, the film poses questions about how Black women see themselves and each other and the pitfalls that await those who internalize the search for the "perfect image"!
Coffee Colored Children
This lyrical, unsettling film conveys the experience of children of mixed racial heritage. Suffering the aggression of racial harassment, a young girl and her brother attempt to wash their skin white with scouring powder. Starkly emotional and visually compelling, this semi-autobiographical testimony to the profound internalized effects of racism and the struggle for self-definition and pride is a powerful catalyst for discussion.
Dreaming Rivers
From Sankofa Film and Video comes this bittersweet and nostalgic short drama illustrating the spirit of modern families touched by the experience of migration. Miss T., from the Caribbean, lives alone in her one-room apartment, her children and husband having left her to pursue new dreams. When she dies her family and friends gather at her wake. The tapestry of words that interweave the drama convey the fragments of a life lived, but only partly remembered.
Common themes of identity, alienation and herstory in the context of the diasporan experience emerge in this powerful film. Four Black and Third World women artists, among them African American feminist poet Audre Lorde and Palestinian performance artist Mona Hatoum, speak forcefully through their art and writing.
The Passion of Remembrance
The first film by Sankofa Film and Video, THE PASSION OF REMEMBRANCE has gained classic status as a representation of the totality and diversity of Black experience. Within a dramatic framework the film gives a mosaic impression of the different dimensions of Black experience lived and imagined by a generation of filmmakers in the UK. As beautiful as it is eloquent, THE PASSION OF REMEMBRANCE is critical viewing for those interested in race, gender, history and cinema studies.

Tradition and Philosophy in Modern Times
Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Almost a century has passed since Guénon began to write his criticism of modernism and modern Western civilization. Since then the epidemic of modernism has spread much more globally and affected much more deeply than then the great non-Western civilizations such as the Islamic, Hindu and Far Eastern. Your question, therefore, can be asked about all civilizations and not only the West. Nevertheless, tradition has been better preserved in those civilizations than in the West where modernism was born and grew before it spread elsewhere. This is especially true of the intellectual and spiritual dimensions of these non-Western traditions with the help of which Guénon hoped a new traditional intellectual elite could be created in the West, something which in fact has taken place to some extent. As to whether Western civilization can avoid decay and destruction by returning to its traditional roots, such an event seems ever more unlikely on a civilizational scale, but return to tradition remains an accessible path for individuals in the West and many have chosen to pursue this path.
Guénon also spoke of the possibility of a “redressement” and who is to say that such an event is no longer possible no matter how unlikely it seems. As the Bible states, “With God all things are possible.” My own understanding is that a golden kernel is now forming while the petals of the “flower of civilization” are falling apart and that this kernel will serve as the seed for the next historical and cosmic cycle.

Greece and Great Britain in the 1930s and 1940s A Couple of Revealing Documents
Dimitris Mihalopoulos
On October 28, 1940, Italy attacked Greece. We know now that Italian invasion was due not to Mussolini’s initiative but to Ciano’s one. For the latter was in contact with the British; and the British wished Greece to be involved into the Second WW in order to establish air bases on Greek territory and bombard the oil fields in Ploieşti, Romania.
Iōannēs Metaxas was by then Greece’s Prime Minister. He was a brilliant Engineers officer and a noted pro-German as well. On August 4, 1936, he managed to have an authoritarian system imposed on Greece – under his own leadership. Still Metaxas was dependent on King George II of the Hellenes. The Sovereign had expressed during the First WW the same pro-German sentiments as Metaxas. But his mind was changed in the 1930s: he had fully understood that Greece was run (and she keeps being run) by a supra-masonic government closely associated to Great Britain’s “deep state”.

Eurasian cooperation
Gabor Vona
- Jobbik is a national conservative party which does not refrain from using radical means. So when they label us as radicals, they are wrong. Radicalism is not a principle, it is a method. The reason why we are radicals is because the situation is radical as well. At the moment, we Hungarians are sick passengers on a sinking European ship that has lost its values. This is unbearable. First we must get off the ship, then cure our diseases. Hungary was not admitted to the EU so that we could develop. The goal was to colonize us, to exploit our cheap labour and acquire our markets. Western companies and banks now try to maintain their systems by using the profit they pump out of our country in the East. And this is just the economic side of the problem. The EU did not bring any good in terms of the spiritual, mental side, either. After the anti-value approach of Communism, we are now living in the valuelessness of capitalism. I personally follow traditionalist principles, in other words, I believe that Europe should get back to its own roots and rearrange its relationship with other traditional cultures that only exist in the East now.

Myths about Hyperborea
Boris Nad
Myths about Hyperborea, the land of forefathers in the Far North, about the country that lies "beyond the north wind", are very deeply embedded in the collective unconscious and mythology of almost all Indo-European nations (and, of course, not only of their). By itself, this fact has great importance. But, more important than the fact of their widespraeding is the question what is their meaning. If Hyperborean myths really have such an important role in the unconscious of the Indo-European peoples, they have this by their own significance, due to its interior facilties. Because, for us, a myth in not "false story", a superstition or a misunderstanding. Myth is timeless reality, which is, perhaps, "not never enact anywhere," but is constantly repeated in history and, indeed, in a reality that determined and defined it.

Intellectual Terrorism
Tomislav Sunic
The modern thought police is hard to spot, as it often seeks cover under soothing words such as “democracy” and “human rights.” While each member state of the European Union likes to show off the beauties of its constitutional paragraph, seldom does it attempt to talk about the ambiguities of its criminal code. Last year, in June and November, the European Commission held poorly publicized meetings in Brussels and Strasbourg whose historical importance regarding the future of free speech could overshadow the recent launching of the new euro currency.
At issue is the enactment of the new European legislation whose objective is to counter the growing suspicion about the viability of the multiracial European Union. Following the events of September 11, and in the wake of occasionally veiled anti-Israeli comments in some American and European journals, the wish of the European Commission is to exercise maximum damage control, via maximum thought control.

The Third Political Theory
Michael O'Meara
According to Dugin, National Socialist Germany and Fascist Italy were not just militarily, but ideologically defeated in the Second European Civil War (1939–45)—victims of “‘homicide’, or perhaps ‘suicide’.” Thereafter, these two national anti-liberal ideologies allegedly “overcome by history” ceased to address the great challenges facing European man. Then, with Communism’s fall in 1989/91, the second major anti-liberal “theory” opposing the Judeo-financial forces of Anglo-American liberalism collapsed. Today’s anti-liberal struggle, Dugin concludes, requires an ideology that has not “been destroyed and disappeared off the face of the earth.”
There is nothing in The Fourth Political Theory likely to please the Correctorate—which is, perhaps, reason for reading it. Nevertheless, Dugin’s effort to develop a compelling new “theory” appropriate to the global anti-system resistance must be judged (I’ll not be the first to say) a “failure”—an interesting failure, admittedly, but one also constituting a possible snare for the anti-system opposition, especially in its misleading treatment of 3PT and its implications for the anti-system resistance.

A Note on Political Theology
The term political theology has, today in the West, a precise meaning: it signifies a group or a school of theologians who seek to explain the evangelical preaching of the salvation of humanity in categories offered by contemporary political theories, particularly those of the Marxist and neo-Marxist left.
This quest of political theology ranges from pure scientific research for a political interpretation of the texts of the Bible to the direct and active mobilization of theologians and clergy in radical socio-political movements. Behind each of the phases of this quest one can discern the classic problem of Western Christianity: the oscillation between the transcendent and the secular, between the abstract idealism of a conceptual metaphysics and the immediate affirmation and pursuit of material goods in life.

The East and the West
North and South, at the same time, have a much greater significance. It is evident from the earliest times. Migration of peoples and races, sacred geography and toponymy, the role that this sides of the world have in the traditions and legends of diverse, but most of all in tradition of Indo-European people, all that very clearly confirmed this opinion. The importance of North-South axis, as is in our epoch, may be obscured, suppressed, but it does not become less real and less important. North-South axis remains vertical axis of history and sacred geography. In contrast, the East-West dualism only has a modest significance and meaning, therefore also raised later in the human history than the former axis (North against South). It, at best, belong to the history and its contingency; dualism North and South is a prehistoric or, rather, over-historical and meta-historical.

The Legacy of a European Traditionalist Julius Evola in Perspective
Guido Stucco
To date, Evola’s work has been subjected to the silent treatment. When Evola is not ignored, he is usually vilified by leftist scholars and intellectuals, who demonize him as a bad teacher, racist, rabid anti-Semite, master mind of right-wing terrorism, fascist guru, or so filthy a racist even to touch him would be repugnant. The writer Martin Lee, whose knowledge of Evola is of the most superficial sort, called him a « Nazi philosopher » and claimed that « Evola helped compose Italy’s belated racialist laws toward the end of the Fascist rule » (4). Others have minimized his contribution altogether. Walter Laqueur, in his Fascism: Past, Present, Future, did not hesitate to call him a « learned charlatan, an eclecticist, not an innovator, » and suggested « there were elements of pure nonsense also in his later work. » (5) Umberto Eco sarcastically nicknamed Evola « Othelma, the Magician.»

Aleksadr Dugin: A Russian Version of the European Radical Right?
Marlene Laruelle
In studying contemporary Russian Eurasianism—both as a doctrine and as a political movement—one constantly comes across Aleksandr Dugin. One of the main reasons that he is relevant to any such study is the quasi-monopoly he exercises over a certain part of the current Russian ideological spectrum. This spectrum includes a plethora of right-wing groupuscules that produce an enormous number of books and an impressive quantity of low-circulation newspapers, but are not readily distinguishable from each other and display little theoretical consistency or sophistication. Dugin is the only major theoretician among this Russian radical right. He is simultaneously on the fringe and at the center of the Russian nationalist phenomenon. He provides theoretical inspiration to many currents and disseminates precepts that can be recycled at different levels. Above all he is striving to cover every niche on the current ideological marketplace. He proceeds from the assumption that Russian society and Russia’s political establishment are in search of a new ideology: he therefore owes it to himself to exercise his influence over all the ideological options and their possible formulations.

Inleiding tot de idee Marc. Eemans
Piet Tommissen
Toen ik aanvaardde een essay te wijden aan het werk en het denken van de schilder, dichter en kunsthistoricus Marc. Eemans, heb ik me afgevraagd of het in mijn geval geoorloofd was te spreken van een zekere continuïteit in zijn geestelijke ontwikkeling. Langzaam maar zeker kwamen elementen en argumenten aan het licht om mijn overtuiging te staven dat die vraag positief macht beantwoord worden. Aldus is deze geschiedenis van de intellectuele en creatieve levensweg van Marc. Eemans ontstaan. Daarbij werd de klemtoon vooral op zijn denken en op zijn poëtisch oeuvre gelegd, vermits het illustratiemateriaal dat deze uitgave verrijkt, als een soort picturaal complement van mijn stelling kan beschouwd worden. Overigens bleven om voor de hand liggende redenen, biografische en andere gegevens buiten beschouwing.
Hopelijk vergeeft de lezer het me dat ik met hem wegen ga verkennen, die men normaliter in essays van het onderhavige genre links laat liggen. Maar op de eerste plaats is het zo dat ik geen kunsthistoricus ben en het derhalve als een punt van elementaire intellectuele eerlijkheid beschouw me onbevoegd te verklaren om een verantwoord waardeoordeel over het schilderkunstig werk van Marc. Eemans uit te spreken. En voorts is er het oude adagium « de gustibus et coloribus non disputandum », dat in de loop der tijden zijn geldigheid heeft behouden. Waarom de lezer dan ook willen beïnvloeden met een onvermijdelijk subjectieve analyse van de boodschap die de schilderijen van Marc. Eemans brengen?
Read more about Inleiding tot de idee Marc. Eemans
This article is a brief introduction to the life and central ideas of the controversial Italian thinker Julius Evola (1898-1974), one of the leading representatives of the European right and of the « Traditionalist movement » (1) in the twentieth century. This movement, together with the Theosophical Society, played a leading role in promoting the study of ancient eastern wisdom, esoteric doctrines, and spirituality. Unlike the Theosophical Society, which championed democratic and egalitarian views, (2) an optimistic view of progress, and a belief in spiritual evolution, the Traditionalist movement adopted an elitist and antiegalitarian stance, a pessimistic view of ordinary life and of history, and an uncompromising rejection of the modern world. The Traditionalist movement began with René Guénon (1886-1951), a French philosopher and mathematician who converted to Islam and moved to Cairo in 1931, following the death of his first wife. Guénon revived interest in the concept of Tradition, i.e., the teachings and doctrines of ancient civilizations and religions, emphasizing its perennial value over and against the « modern world » and its offshoots: humanistic individualism, relativism, materialism, and scientism. Other important Traditionalists of the past century have included Ananda Coomaraswamy, Frithjof Schuon, and Julius Evola.
MANIFESTO of the French New Right
Metapolitics is not politics by other means. It is neither a "strategy" to impose intellectual hegemony, nor an attempt to discredit other possible attitudes or agendas. It rests solely on the premise that ideas play a fundamental role in collective consciousness and, more generally, in human history. Through their works, Heraclitus, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, René Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Adam Smith, and Karl Marx all triggered decisive revolutions, whose impact is still being felt today. History is a result of human will and action, but always within the framework of convictions, beliefs and representations which provide meaning and direction. The goal of the French New Right is to contribute to the renewal of these sociohistorical representations.
Even more now, this metapolitical impulse is based on a reflection about the evolution of Western societies in view of the coming 21st century. On the one hand, there is the growing impotence of political parties, unions, governments, classical forms of conquest and the exercise of political power, and, on the other, the rapid obsolescence of all antitheses (first and foremost, Left and Right) that have characterized modernity. Moreover, there is an unprecedented explosion of knowledge, which spreads with little regard for its consequences. In a world where closed entities have given way to interconnected networks with increasingly fuzzy reference points, metapolitical action attempts, beyond political divisions and through a new synthesis, to renew a transversal mode of thought and, ultimately, to study all areas of knowledge in order to propose a coherent worldview. Such has been the aim for over thirty years.
This manifesto summarizes all of this. The first part (Predicaments) provides a critical analysis of the present; the second part (Foundations) outlines a view concerning man and the world. Both are inspired by a multidisciplinary approach that challenges most of today’s intellectual antitheses. Tribalism and globalism, nationalism and internationalism, liberalism and Marxism, individualism and collectivism, progressivism and conservatism oppose each other with the same complacent logic of the excluded middle. For a century, these artificial oppositions have occluded what is most essential: the sheer size of a crisis that demands a radical renewal of modes of thought, decision and action. It is thus futile to seek this radical renewal in what has already been written. Yet, the French New Right has borrowed ideas from various theoretical sources. It has not hesitated to reappropriate what seems valuable in all currents of thought. This transverse approach has provoked the ire of the guardians of thought, concerned with freezing ideological orthodoxies in order the paralyze any new threatening synthesis.

The Greater Europe Project
Present-day Europe has its own strategic interests that differ substantially with American interests or with the approach of the Global West project. Europe has its particular positive attitude towards its southern and eastern neighbours. In some cases economic profit, the energy supply issues and common defence initiative don’t coincide at all with American ones.
These general considerations lead us, European intellectuals deeply concerned by the fate of our cultural and historical Motherland, Europe, to the conclusion that we badly need an alternative future world vision where the place, the role and the mission of Europe and European civilisation would be different, greater, better and safer than it is within the frame of the Global Empire project with too evident imperialistic features.
The only feasible alternative in present circumstances is to found in the context of a multi-polar world. Multi-polarity can grant to any country and civilisation on the planet the right and the freedom to develop its own potential, to organise its own internal reality in accordance with the specific identity of its culture and people, to propose a reliable basis of just and balanced international relations amongst the world’s nations. Multi-polarity should be based on the principle of equity among the different kinds of political, social and economic organisations of these nations and states. Technological progress and a growing openness of countries should promote dialogue amongst, and the prosperity of, all peoples and nations. But at the same time it shouldn’t endanger their respective identities. Differences between civilisations do not have to necessarily culminate in an inevitable clash between them – in contrast to the simplistic logic of some American writers. Dialogue, or rather ‘polylogue’, is a realistic and feasible possibility that we should all exploit in this regard.

À propos de Mumford & Sons
Mumford is Marcus Mumford, and the Sons are Ben Lovett, Ted Dwane and Country Winston, and no, this is not a Dickens novel. It's a London-based band comprised of four friends with a love of things like bluegrass, folk, indie rock, frayed sweaters, pints in the afternoon, group vocals, house cats, too much coffee, gray days, antiques shops and anything else that sounds heartrending and uppity -- or at least that's the impression their debut album, Sigh No More, leaves you with. Formed in late 2007, the band made quick work of the U.K. club scene, traversing the country with its initial clutch of rickety, earnest tunes, peppering the landscape with singles and EPs. The Sons then entered the studio with Markus Dravs, producer of Bjork and Arcade Fire, and laid down the 12 tracks that make up Sign No More. Bubbling over with horns, mandolin, banjo, double bass and other instruments, the record is a fiery assortment of careening, melancholy tunes that evokes everyone from Frightened Rabbit to David Gray to Richard and Linda Thompson. Not surprisingly, the album roused critics and attracted new fans, and our sun-deprived heroes proceeded to tour the world in support of it. Bebop Digital

Ariel Winter Flashes Derriere and Strips for Bubble Bath in ‘The Last Movie Star’
Wow! Ariel Winter, 20, is definitely bidding farewell to her child-star status with her steamy acting gig in the upcoming drama The Last Movie Star! A scene from the film have surfaced showing the stunner rocking fiery red locks and tattoos as she climbs out of bed in a lacy thong — naturally showing off her jaw-dropping booty! In another scene, she apparently takes it all off for a candle-lit bubble bath! So hot!
But the fun doesn’t end there! Before getting out of bed, she has a sexy moment with her hunky tatted-up co-star! She plays Lili McFougal in the project, a wild Nashville local charged with driving an aging film star around (played by none other than Burt Reynolds) as he’s honored at a small film festival. Ariel’s wild look definitely proves she’s ready to take on meatier adult roles!
This new clip arrives just days after Ariel announced to fans that she is going to take a break from college in order to continue working as an actress:

Ariel Winter Reveals She’s Taking Time Off From College After Less Than 1 Year: I Want ‘More Of A Life’
Posted on March 24, 2018 March 24, 2018 Written by Victoria
Ariel Winter is taking a break from college.
The 20-year-old actress started studying political science at UCLA last year – after previously deferring for a year – but she is taking time off to “pursue” her acting career.
She said: “I do love UCLA, but at the moment I’m taking a break from it so I can continue to pursue my career and also try to have a little bit more of a life because I’ve been so busy.”
“That’s really it at the moment. But I think education’s really important. I love being there. I love learning. I will continue to keep learning and I just wanted to take a break to focus on myself and square some things with myself.”
Ariel – who portrays Alex Dunphy in the comedy series – is hoping to broaden her horizons by appearing in further films.
She said: “I would hope to do more movies. Really anything that comes my way that speaks to me or feels rights, something, a new character I haven’t done before. I’m pretty open. I like doing different things. I like trying things, so for me, it’s really whatever happens.”

Ariel Winter’s Boyfriend Levi Meaden Reveals What’s Changed Since Living Together
Ariel Winter and boyfriend Levi Meaden have been dating for more than a year and appear stronger than ever.
ET spoke with Meaden at the Pacific Rim: Uprising premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where he talked about his new sci-fi film as well as his relationship with Winter. The two live together, and Meaden says “nothing” has changed when it comes to their dynamic.
“Less fear, I guess. That’s the only thing,” he tells ET’s Courtney Tezeno. “We’re happier than ever. We’ve got three dogs, we adopted a bunny, there might be another one on the way. I guess, more animals. That’s what’s changed. There was two dogs to begin with, now we got another dog and a rabbit. So, in a year maybe, I don’t know, a whole farm?”
Meaden, 30, even had a hard time coming up with a pet peeve when it comes to 20-year-old Winter.
“I mean, the pet peeves I kinda love,” he explains. “She doesn’t really know movies, which is amazing, because she’s been in movies for so long, but she doesn’t — she never watched them! So, it’s not really a pet peeve as much as it’s something I really enjoy, because I get to show her all these old films. Probably a pet peeve of hers, because then I go into all the trivia and explain the history of the movie until she’s like, ‘Shut up, Levi!'”
Winter, looking stunning in a striking red dress and heels, attended the premiere to support her beau. Meaden, who said Winter visited him in Australia and China while shooting the film, explained the meaningful tattoos they have for one another. The actor showed off the ink on his finger of a jar reading “PB,” which stands for peanut butter, his nickname for Winter.
“Well, I’m not sure how it came about, but she has ‘Cheese’ on her finger and she says, ‘It’s a messed-up sandwich that works,'” Meaden shares. “Peanut butter and cheese! Now, everyone thinks it doesn’t, but if you try it — depending on the cheese — it’s really good.”

Anything that comes to mind...
Revitalise the Reformation
Today, Cardinal Keith O'Brien has his army of priests read out the following message against inclusive marriage.
A Message for Marriage Sunday
from The Bishops’ Conference of Scotland
In all things, we as Catholics look to Jesus Christ as our model and teacher. When asked about marriage He gave a profound and rich reply: “Have you not read that the Creator, from the beginning, ‘made them male and female’, and said: ‘This is why a man must leave father and mother and cling to his wife and the two become one body’.” (Matthew, 19: 4-5)
In the Year of Faith, which begins this October, we wish to place a special emphasis on the role of the family founded on marriage. The family is the domestic Church, and the first place in which the faith is transmitted. For that reason it must have a primary focus in our prayerful considerations during this period of grace.
We write to you having already expressed our deep disappointment that the Scottish Government has decided to redefine marriage and legislate for same-sex marriage. We take this opportunity to thank you for your past support in defense of marriage and hope you will continue to act against efforts to redefine it. We reaffirm before you all the common wisdom of humanity and the revealed faith of the Church that marriage is a unique life-long union of a man and a woman.
In circumstances when the true nature of marriage is being obscured, we wish to affirm and celebrate the truth and beauty of the Sacrament of Matrimony and family life as Jesus revealed it; to do something new to support marriage and family life in the Catholic community and in the country; and to reinforce the vocation of marriage and the pastoral care of families which takes in the everyday life of the Church in dioceses and parishes across the country.
For that reason, in the forthcoming Year of Faith we have decided to establish a new Commission for Marriage and the Family. This Commission will be led by a bishop and will be composed mostly of lay men and women. The Commission will be charged with engaging with those young men and women who will be future husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, and with those who already live out their vocation to marriage and parenthood in surroundings which often make it hard to sustain and develop the full Catholic family life we cherish.
We wish to support too, those who are widowed, separated and divorced and all who need to feel the Church’s maternal care in the circumstances in which they find themselves. The new Commission will promote the true nature of marriage as both a human institution and a union blessed by Jesus. The Commission will be asked to develop an online presence so that prayer, reflection, formation and practical information on matters to do with marriage and family life can be quickly accessible to all. It will also work to produce materials and organise events which will support ordinary Catholic families in their daily lives. During the course of the coming year we will ask for your support for these initiatives.
Our faith teaches us that marriage is a great and holy mystery. The Bishops of Scotland will continue to promote and uphold the universally accepted definition of marriage as the union solely of a man and a woman. At the same time, we wish to work positively for the strengthening of marriage within the Church and within our society.
This is an important initiative for all our people, but especially our young people and children. We urge you to join us in this endeavour. Pray for your own family every day, and pray for those families whose lives are made difficult by the problems and cares which they encounter. Finally, we invite you to pray for our elected leaders, invoking the Holy Spirit on them, that they may be moved to safeguard marriage as it has always been understood, for the good of Scotland and of our society.
This is precisely the kind of unwarranted political interference that the Reformation and Act of Supremacy in England, and similar laws in Scotland, were designed to prevent.
This poor excuse for a Christian describes equal marriage rights as a "grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right". What human right is being subverted, Cardinal? None at all. As a celibate bachelor, what makes you an authority on what subverts a loving marriage?
The message reveals clearly the flaws in his argument on the matter. It describes the biblical account of Christ's teaching on marriage:
“Have you not read that the Creator, from the beginning, ‘made them male and female’, and said: ‘This is why a man must leave father and mother and cling to his wife and the two become one body’.” (Matthew, 19: 4-5)
Here Christ describes an example of marriage, he does not mandate this as the only form of marriage. Indeed, the question he answers is about divorce, not homosexuality, (Matthew, 19: 3). And he goes on to describe celibacy in various circumstances saying "He who is able to accept it, let him accept it". (Matthew, 19: 11-12). Christ teaches not one dogmatic rule which all must follow, but freedom to live a sexual life according to individual needs and circumstances, within a loving and faithful framework. What could better promote a loving and faithful sexual relationship than marriage?
Then the bishops say,
"The family is the domestic Church, and the first place in which the faith is transmitted. For that reason it must have a primary focus".
So there we have it: this is not about the good of society, or following the teachings of Christ, this is about evangelizing the Roman Catholic faith. Surely these men are calling on gay people to deny their sexuality, enter into deceitful heterosexual marriages and raise more child fodder for their church. Here we see the sordid, evil, subversive motives of the church laid bare.
But not content with subverting families and children to their own purposes, (a trait you will recall that is not new), they also hope to subvert the democratic process:
"Finally, we invite you to pray for our elected leaders, invoking the Holy Spirit on them, that they may be moved to safeguard marriage as it has always been understood...".
So you want your congregation to pray for god to overrule the consciences of the democratically elected representatives of the Scottish people, and do the dirty work of a foreign papal power? This is the 21st century - I mean: are you nuts?
But there is humour to be found in this rotten diatribe too:
"Our faith teaches us that marriage is a great and holy mystery".
Yeah mate, marriage may be a mystery to you bunch of alleged celibates. But the real mystery is the reason you think that anyone should listen to a bunch of sexually repressed paedophile-protectors in dresses on matters of love, sexuality, marriage and family. You guys are about as unqualified to speak authoritatively on these matters as it's possible to be.
So perhaps this kind of papal vitriol is a sure sign you guys in Scotland are heading in the right direction. Keep up the good work!

hard and he’s got great moves and he’s a great
running back going to do great things in the
future. But our coaches put a great defensive
plan together to stop him. … we sealed things
up and we got the job done.”
After trading punts on the first two drives,
Olmsted Falls quarterback Teddy Grendzynski
broke free on a designed quarterback run the first
play of the drive and scored a 99-yard touchdown.
Grendzynski also found Galaska three times
through the air for touchdowns (74-yards, 41-yards
and 45-yards) and threw two to running back
Michael Howard (12-yards and 14-yards).
The Eagles answered back immediately as
Anders took the first play of their next drive
for his 64-yard touchdown. His and the Eagles
final score came just under two minutes into
the second half.
Following Anders’ first touchdown, Olmsted
Falls running back Jack Spellacy scored his only
touchdown of the night on a one-yard rush. On
the heels of a four-touchdown performance in an
upset against Avon Lake on Oct. 19, Spellacy had
64 yards on 11 carries against North Olmsted.
“We come into every game with the mindset
that we’re going to run the ball down their
throat,” Galaksa said. “If they give us the
opportunity to pass, we’re going to pass.
Things opened up… We’ve been playing
since we were toddlers, me and Teddy and a
lot of these guys. It was just fun to end the
season on the right note.”
The Bulldogs went into halftime leading 35-14
and were in complete control the second half.
North Olmsted had the ball four times in the
final 24 minutes, with their drives resulting in
two punts and two turnovers on downs. Olmsted
Falls’ four possessions in the second half ended
with three touchdowns and the end of the game.
“It makes you play disciplined football,” North
Olmsted head coach Tim Brediger said about the
multi-faceted Bulldog offense. “At times we executed
and at times we didn’t. The thing that really killed
us was the play action tonight. Credit to them to
see what we were doing defensively and hurt us.”
With Anders corralled, senior quarterback
Liam Fay was forced to go to the air 20 times.
He completed seven for 43 yards. Rain was a
constant presence in the game and likely led to
a few drops that looked like catchable passes.
For Anders and Fay, Friday marked the last
time they and 18 others who played together for
four years would wear the black and orange.
Brediger said these are the players he credits for
getting the team to where they were this season.
“It’s hard because you care about ‘em,” Brediger
said. “This was a group of kids that for me, my
first year as a head coach six years ago, these guys
were in middle school. The ones that chose to
stay here and not go to Ed’s or Ignatius or Holy
Name, this is that group. I’m very proud of them.”
Olmsted Falls now heads to their fourth-straight
Division II playoff appearance and faces No. 4
seed Avon Lake at 7 p.m. Friday on the road.
How quickly does DeLuca now start prepar-ing
his team for the postseason?
“About a minute ago,” he said after breaking
the post-game huddle.

Holy Name beats Pirates, advances to Regional
By JACK KOPANSKI
PARMA HEIGHTS – The Holy Name Green
Wave volleyball team defeated the Rocky
River Pirates in four sets in the Division
II Parma Heights District championship
Saturday afternoon. Winning 25-22, 22-25,
25-21, 25-18, each set was a battle with
neither team giving an inch in pursuit of the
District crown.
Holy Name, this year’s Great Lakes
Conference champion in volleyball, beat
the Pirates for the third time this year as the
Wave claimed both regular-season matchups.
They were the only two in-conference losses
Rocky River had.
Megan Green, head coach for Holy Name,
said the familiarity these teams have with
each other played a big role when they met
in a playoff setting.
“It’s a ton,” Green said. “We’ve played
them seven times in the past two years. They
probably know us better than any team we’ve
ever played against, and that’s why I think
it’s so tough to come in here and get that
win. At the same time, we know them too.”
In the first set, Holy Name jumped out to
a quick 9-5 lead, forcing a Pirate timeout.
Rocky River would play from behind for
the remainder of the set, though they did tie
it at 16 later in the set.
The second set was more close play, as
the difference in the first half of the set was
never more than three points. After leading
13-10 in the second, the Pirates went on a run
to increase their lead to 20-14. Holy Name
didn’t go quietly, though, as the Wave ended
the set on an 8-5 run, but it was too little too
late as Rocky River took the second 25-22.
For the Pirates, their offense ran almost
exclusively through seniors Ava Rauser,
Marissa Smiley and Olivia Young.
“We’re able to really run a fast offense,”
Young said. “They expect Ava to get the
ball a lot of the time so it allows for me to
have an open net which just throws the other
team off.”
Smiley set both Ava and Olivia up all day
long as she totaled 37 assists, and the two
hitters combined for 33 kills.
The fourth set was similar to the first in that
Holy Name pulled ahead early, and Rocky
River made a late push back into the match.
Trailing 16-12, the Pirates strung together
five straight points to take the lead.
That would be short-lived, though, as Holy
Name scored eight of the last 12 points to
win the third set 25-21. Leading the Wave
offensively was senior Kayla Jarosz with 23
kills, scoring most of those off assists from
sophomore Abriana Marchetta.
Holy Name left no doubt in the fourth set,
as they rushed to a 12-5 lead, making River
head coach Karlee Bruck burn both of her
timeouts early in the set. Holy Name’s lead
never dropped below five points the rest of
the set, and they sealed their victory with a
25-18 fourth set win.
“Our hitters, most of them are juniors, so
we have a pretty experienced team,” Green
said. “I really am confident in their ability
and they can really pull us up a step.”
For Rocky River, Bruck said getting this
point was special for her and her team. With
six seniors soon to be graduated, though, she
said that is what made this season special.
“This is an incredible group of girls, I have
nothing but positive things to say,” Bruck
said. “(The seniors) were just incredible
leaders from the beginning. From where we
started to now, it’s just a true testament of
their character and how hard they worked
this season to get this far and to put four
sets in against Holy Name who is supposed
to kill us in three.”

High School to play Oak Harbor at 7:30 on

Magnificat volleyball advances to District Final
GRAFTON – Magnificat volleyball punched
their ticket to the Division I Elyria District
championship Tuesday night in a five-set
thriller over the Avon Eagles at Midview
High School. The Blue Streaks won 22-25,
25-18, 25-15, 20-25, 15-13.
Leading the way for Magnificat were senior
Marie Claire Frantz (47 assists), junior Liz
Ward (14 kills) and freshman Cadence Shea
(13 kills).
After dropping the first set, the Blue Streaks
dominated the next two before falling in the
fourth. Something head coach Jess Ciborek
chalked up to overconfidence.
“We were lazy, in direct terms,” Ciborek
said. “We tried to play comeback and it
was too late against a team like that. In set
five, I told my team, ‘Come out and be the
aggressor...’ That’s what we did and that’s
why we won.”
Ciborek praised her team for how they
handled the first two sets and how they
adjusted to a high-powered Avon offense. A
triple-threat attack led by Maddy Jerdonek
(39 assists), Gillian Romanchuk (15 kills)
and Katie Koziarz (nine kills) was a big part
of what kept the Eagles in every set.
“Avon’s a good team, … so I know they’re
stacked with players. I’m really proud of
them (my team) for giving 120 (percent) the
entire match,” Ciborek said. “In the third set,
(Avon) started to run everything super fast.
I told our block, ‘You gotta make sure you
keep track of your hitter, you don’t lose track
of ‘em and you’re up a split-second sooner
on your block.’ We made those adjustments
when we needed to.”
That adjustment showed when both teams
were deadlocked at 11 in the third. After
that point, Magnificat finished on a 14-4 run
to win the set. Part of the reason the Blue
Streaks were able to score so many points
in bunches was the tandem of Frantz and
Cadence throughout the game.
“She’s just been a great sport about taking
criticism from me, I take criticism from her
it goes both ways, but honestly, it’s just
communication,” Frantz said. “That was
our biggest struggle at the start of the season
and now we’re miles from where we started.
I’m just so proud of her. She knows what
she’s doing, we’re really comfortable with
each other.”
Every point was tightly contested in the fifth
and deciding set. There were seven ties and
six lead changes. Mags won by two points.
What did it come down to? Frantz said it was
the Blue Streaks’ trust in each other.
The loss was an emotional one for Avon
head coach Julie Bendzuck and her six seniors.
With little to separate either of these teams,
Bendzuck said it came down to Magnificat
executing when it mattered most. She was
proud of the fight her team showed.
“I just think that Mags was able to terminate
the ball at a few crucial times in the game,”
Bendzuck said. “I thought our defense played
unreal. I think we were even-matched. I think
(the third set) is what I’m most proud of.
It would have been very, very easy for our
girls to quit and to get out of here in four.
There’s nothing else I could have asked for
our kids. Nothing.”
The Blue Streaks won the District
Championship in five sets over top-seeded
St. Joseph Academy. They play Toledo Notre
Dame Thursday night at Wooster High School.

Dwight Howard Hits A Rare Three-Pointer And NBA Twitter Erupts
Howard is having a comeback for the ages.
Dwight Howard has always been known as a large center who can dunk, get blocks, and play some shutdown defense. When it comes to his shooting ability, Howard has never been known as a marksman and heading into last night's game against the Utah Jazz, Howard only had six made three-point shots in his entire career.
During garbage time, the Lakers were already up by 20 and Howard figured he would experiment a little bit. As you can see in the clip below, this experimentation paid off as Howard hit a quick three that had fans questioning what they had just seen. It was a pretty good shot although you can tell Howard was just a little hesitant about whether or not he really wanted to do it.
This latest shot is yet another example of how Howard has been able to revitalize his entire career this season. There were questions as to whether or not Howard could still play at a high level in the NBA but this season, Howard has been proving all of the doubters wrong. While his stat lines have been modest, he has been able to make a huge impact and Lakers fans are loving it.
Check out some of the best reactions to the three-point shot, below.

Papermaking part 3 – floral inclusions
The Richard de Bas paper mill in France is well known for its floral papers. Less well known are the latest floral papers from Decorah, Iowa.
Petals from violets and dandelions and young fern frond tips were added to the Zerkall & milkweed pulp. The violet petals were inclined to float to the surface, which made it difficult to incorporate them in the paper. However peristance prevailed and the effort yielded an interesting paper due in part to the contrast between the yellow and purple hues and the different shaped petals and the ferns.
This detail shows the tangled web of fibers and a fragment of dandelion petal.
Some new fibers have been gathered: bast fiber from old milkweed stems which will be processed separately; and fiber from some hemp which self-seeds itself on the farm, no doubt a remnant of the wartime crops that were once grown for rope.

Stockhausen In Freundschaft – work in progress
Working again on the Stockhausen piece for solo clarinet, In Freundschaft. The installation photo above shows two large paintings together with smaller sketches. The painting on the right wall measures 96 x 42 inches, while the painting on the back wall measures 72 x 48 inches. These are derived from the "master painting" (67 x 108 inches) seen below.
None are intended to be the definitive, or final work in this series, as it still a work in progress. These pieces started life as interpretations or responses to a piece of music, but there comes a point in the creative process where the painting grows and matures and develops a life of its own and leaves the home, so to speak.
The main challenge is how to represent the linearity of music on a single rectangle and the solution might be a series of paintings. I have made a series of linear drawings in book form, where the pen behaves like an oscilloscope of sorts. One may argue that there is just as much potential in a single pa…

'In the beginning', and, 'Genesis'.
In On heroes, hero-worship and the heroic in history Thomas Carlyle makes several references to the 'divine . . .' and 'sacred Hebrew Book'. In Sartor Resartus he refers to 'young Ishmael' in the 'destitution of the wild desert'. Throughout both books he includes many biblical references and allusions. For my illustrations, I looked for a quotation, and then searched for an original source – and I found Hebrew texts.
The history, meaning and beauty of the letterforms are fascinating and I began to draw and learn a little of the Alephbet. The first problem I encountered was the inability of Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign to render the text as right to left (RTL) reading. Curiously my Firefox browser, Apple Mail and TextEdit did work, which helped when using the Hebrew keyboard layout.
Secondly, my insatiable thirst for language was hampered by a new alphabet and the myriad forms it takes. Besides t…
Pizza from Scratch – The story of a visual narrative
I have an interest in food – okay it’s a passion – actually it’s an obsession: I am obsessed with food and cooking, today it's pizza cooked from scratch in a wood-fired oven. Some of my earliest memories of cooking date back to when I was a Boy Scout: delicious, smoky, crispy outside, soft inside “benders and twisters” – simple wheat flour dough balls stretched around a stick, cooked over a campfire.
Later, travels in Italy and the revelation that the Holy Trinity was in fact garlic, tomatoes and olive oil, and the best pizzas where cooked in wood-fired ovens, helped fuel this passion for cooking that become an obsession.
I want to know where my food has come from. If the food is processed, what are the ingredients and where did they come from? How were they grown/raised? I want to taste natural flavors, not chemicals; naturally ripened tomatoes, not bland, anemic imposters – I don’t want to worry about pesticide or herbicide residues. So, I grow fruit and vegetables following or…

Interconnected by deeds not words.
Our Managing Director, Dan has written a fantastic article which has been published in both Marketing Magazine and Campaign this month. "Interconnected" breaks down the real truths behind brands and how they act in an increasingly connected, information sharing market place. Brands can no longer get away with claiming excellent service or superb value in the safe confines of outbound communications without proving it in practice, as in the harsh reality of the interconnected world, the nature of such claims will be revealed by how the brand acts. Customers will share their experiences of those actions on social media and price comparison sites with great ease.
Dan's article goes on to explain the interconnected world in the light of how we work here at St Luke's, with particular mention to our Strongbow, Majestic, Very.co.uk and Littlewoods clients. Our agenda is not only transform a brand's communication ideas, but also the client's business ideas in order to create a strategy that rings true throughout their whole organisation, and create a brand identity which reflects the fundamental truths of their audience, company and product.
I don't want to give the whole article away, you can read it here, and you should. It gives great food for thought on how we can sculpt and encourage organisations to embody their brand identity and be true to themselves in an interconnected world.

Strongbow challenges 'normal' guy to score like a pro
Last night, during the England v Germany match (where we disappointingly lost 0-1), one regular guy stepped up to a challenge. Not during the match, but in the half time ad break in our latest Strongbow challenge.
The Football Challenge is specifically aimed at getting those guys who always claim they could have scored that missed penalty to step up and prove it. Whether it's your mate, brother, boyfriend, husband, or dad - we all know a bloke who likes to shout at the TV and think they could do better. Our guy, Jared Aransibia, was chosen from thousands of applicants, to prepare for a once in a lifetime opportunity of scoring a penalty 'for England' against our fiercest football rivals Germany.
Jared was mentored by legendary former England player and Coach Stuart Pearce and he underwent two days of intense training which saw his stamina levels pushed to the limit by fitness coach and former Olympic sprinter Ade Mafe. This was topped off with a session by leading sports psychologist Dan Abrahams who helped mentally prepare Jared for his 12 yard challenge. He faced Hamburg’s German international goalkeeper Rene ‘Iron Man’ Adler on his home turf in the epic surroundings of the Berlin Olympic stadium.
Sam Fielding, Strongbow Marketing Manager comments "This week’s game between Germany and England was the perfect opportunity for us to introduce Jared's challenge to football fans across the country. Jared stepped up to a once in a lifetime opportunity alongside Coach Stuart Pearce that provided us with some fantastic and engaging content people will love to watch.”
Stuart Pearce said: "We all watch a game from the comfort of our sofa and think we can do better, take that corner or score that penalty. We can all talk a good game but there aren’t many times you get the opportunity to 'walk the walk'. Jared was armed with all the physical and mental tools to score the penalty but the rest was up to him.”

Doing Christmas 2013 in a Very stylish way!
Besides celebrating the birth of Jesus, singing Carols about wise men and eating far too much; Christmas is a time for spoiling each other (and ourselves) with gifts, new outfits and celebrations.
Our 30" Gifting advert for Very celebrates important Christmas preparation tasks such as gift-wrapping, cooking up a storm, hanging decorations and dining with friends, in a beautifully stylish and effortless way. With Very's range of gifts, fashion, homeware and electricals, it's easy to look effortlessly stylish whilst simultaneously delivering the perfect Christmas.
The ad launches today, 7th November, during Emmerdale (ITV 7pm) and features a remix of the traditional Christmas Carol Silent Night. But this is Silent Night as you've never heard it before! Now well-known for having stand-out soundtracks, this Very spot follows on from our Christmas Partywear ad and the Definitions campaign using original remixes, a motion-control camera, and freeze-frame vignettes.
Fearne Cotton appears in the final scene, celebrating a toast and sumptuous festive feast with her friends. Get ready for a stylish Christmas with Very.co.uk
Check the ad out here or the image above and let us know what you think @stlukescomms.
Our agency Reception display is looking rather Christmassy too now that both Shop Direct clients, Littlewoods and Very have launched their Christmas campaigns!

Ho Ho Ho! Christmas excitement arrives as our Littlewoods advert airs!
It's the first of November which can only mean one thing, Christmas is coming and the best adverts, seasonal songs and festive jumpers are all heading our way!
We've been quick off the mark with our campaign for Littlewoods, which launched today. It's set in Santa's workshop in the North Pole, where a girl has posted her letter to Father Christmas, and he starts to read it aloud. Myleene Klass magically wraps presents while Santa's other celebrity helper Mark Wright, is sitting on a shelf, waiting to be chosen as a Christmas gift for a lucky lady. There are a whole host of elves bustling around in the workshop too, to make sure that every child and family gets the presents they deserve, all with the help of the Littlewoods Touch, meaning you can spread the cost of your gifts. We also filmed a Behind the Scenes film, so you can see what it was like on set, and how we made the magic.
The ad features a "Christmassed-up" version of Arlissa's track "Into The Light" which was featured in the Funfair campaign, and was also directed by Michael Gracey through Partizan.
Let us know what you think, it's given us the Christmas spirit at St Luke's, and there's even more to come this week...

An Engaging, Eye-Pleasing Summary of Global Warmin...
An Engaging, Eye-Pleasing Summary of Global Warming Science
« A Profusion of Green Jobs is Just a Carbon Cap Away
Geo-Engineering: Methadone for Carbon Addiction »
By James Wang / Bio / Published: October 7, 2008
We frequently mention the IPCC reports on Climate 411 – often referencing them as the most trustworthy authority on global warming science. In fact, our very first blog post was titled "What is the IPCC, anyway?" But for non-scientists, these rather technical reports are a challenge to read.
Climate scientists Michael Mann and Lee Kump published the book Dire Predictions to make the IPCC’s crucially important findings accessible to the layperson. For the most part, they succeed admirably. Mann and Kump did a remarkable job of simplifying complex ideas. But it still gets a little dense in places.
Despite a few bumps, in general I found the book to be an engaging read. The colorful graphics on nearly every page bring abstract concepts to life. The book also benefits from creative and catchy writing, on display in subsection titles such as "Earth, wind and fire" and "Is it time to sell that beach house?".
A Slow Start
If you’re unfamiliar with the basics of climate change, the introduction can bring you up to speed. But if you’re already familiar with the global warming "debate" and you know what causes the seasons to change, you may want to skim the intro and the beginning of Part 1 and dig in at around page 30.
The first 30 pages are dense in places, as well as less engaging. This section abbreviates some information that is presented more understandably later. For example, the graph on page 20 showing climate uncertainties lacks explanation, but there’s a full explanation of the graph where it reappears in Part 2. Another example: the term "longwave radiation" is used on page 19 without prior definition. The glossary in the back of the book can help with unfamiliar terms.
Compelling and Balanced
Throughout the book, the authors’ great wealth of knowledge and mastery of the subject clearly shine through. Dr. Mann was a lead author for a chapter of the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report, and a reviewer of the most recent Fourth Assessment Report. He’s also a co-founder of the highly respected climate blog RealClimate.org. Dr. Kump is the lead author of the preeminent textbook, The Earth System.
One of the strengths of Dire Predictions is its strong, to-the-point rebuttals of common misconceptions fueled by global warming skeptics. The authors expertly explain why the ongoing rise in atmospheric CO2 is not natural, how today’s warming is greater than and fundamentally different from that during the "Medieval Warm Period", why higher CO2 levels are not beneficial for ecosystems, and why the excuses for inaction on global warming are wrong.
The book gives a balanced presentation of the issues, citing the pros and cons of global warming, and at times posing ethical questions for the reader to decide. In fact, sometimes I felt that the authors were a bit too cautious in drawing conclusions – for example, regarding scientists’ ability to predict climate change. Most assertions are backed up with evidence and explanations, and yet the writing remains concise and engaging.
I liked the sections on what individuals can do to stop global warming and how to calculate your carbon footprint. They make the issue more personal.
A Few Rough Edges
I noticed rough edges here and there. The discussion of energy in Part 5, for example, may be confusing to lay readers. The authors use the term "energy supply" to refer only to a particular kind of energy – electricity and heating – and not fuels used in industry and transport. Then they introduce another category of energy, "buildings", which I did not think was clearly distinguished from "energy supply". To confound things further, they categorize fuel cells in vehicles as "energy supply" rather than "transport".
And then there are some errors. The graph of emissions from different economic sectors on the bottom of page 159 is missing the N2O emissions from agriculture for 2004. On pages 56-57, the authors initially define hurricanes as tropical cyclones that occur only in the Atlantic Ocean basin, but later mention "all of the major hurricane basins." The authors tell me that at least some of these errors will be corrected in the second printing.
But these problems are minor. Overall, Mann and Kump managed to pack a lot of information on the huge topic of climate change into a small amount of space, with engaging prose and illustrations throughout. If you’d like an understandable summary of the IPCC’s findings, you’ll appreciate Dire Predictions.

Night of Gates III
Revision as of 14:37, 1 November 2011 by Boojum (Talk | contribs)
"By the craggy hill-side,
They have planted thorn-trees
If any man so daring
In his bed at night." The run begins on the Day of the Early Butterfly in the Month of the Magpie in the eighty-first Year of the Magpie since the Second Treaty of Houses.
The run takes place in the Port of Auspicious Voyage in the Hon'eth Arcade

10 A Last Possibility for Betrayal
11 Puttering
As the party heads down the street, Cai Wen's moll shouts "It's a trap!" Several ninjas decloak near Cai Wen and on roofs nearby, and much chopping ensues. Most people focus on dealing with the ninjas, though several are more concerned with what exactly is going on.
Cai Wen tries to remember who his moll is, and is partially successful (which will be useful later). His best guess is that he's in the Port of Auspicious Voyage, though it's not a street where he's been before. He'll probably be able to recognize the street again later, as well. Shen-Ji starts walling the combat into smaller boxes.
Takanata is still off the battlemap on his way, though he can arrive auspiciously if he needs to. Concentrating on the plan, he puts his tinfoil hat in his pocket and starts heading towards the warehouse district, grumbling that the idiots left without him. Min Feng, who has previously infiltrated the ninjas, decloaks. Then, she falls off the roof she is on onto a pedestrian, who flees. A ninja attacks Cai Wen's moll in an attempt to get past her to Cai Wen.
"You dare lay a hand on me, mortal?" -Mei-Zhen
"Hey, your moll has a name! But... she's kind of creepy..." -everyone else
Several of the ninja are armed with blowguns, and two hit Wei Han. In drift, he discovers that he has been dosed with the deadly Masterful Drift Poison as well as Medium Drift Poison. Min Feng, happily, has an antidote for each, but only one antidote for the Masterful poison, so she tells everyone else to make sure they get poisoned only by lesser poisons. She tries hard to remember where she got the antidotes, for later.
Takanata, still trying to remember the plan, pulls a handbill from his pocket and looks at it, hoping that they printed enough. It says something about the great Zhu Cai Wen being in town and defying all comers. He tries to figure out why he is not supposed to wear the tinfoil hat and decides he doesn' t want to accidentally make himself unscryable.
Mei-Zhen points at Min Feng, shouting "Disguise Girl! Do something!" Min Feng's fast disguise shtick goes off, and she looks like Cai Wen now. (People attacking Cai Wen have to flip a coin to see who they hit). The leader of the ninjas accuses Kasumi of having betrayed them, and though he would teach her a lesson, he has bigger game.
Both Grasshopper and Min Feng take some blowdart poison hits. Cai Wen sets off a smoke bomb, but that spooks Mei-Zhen and she runs out of it.
The two top ninja aim for Cai Wen - he dodges one, but is hit with the second dart. This dart seems different, as he doesn't feel well but doesn't seem to be poisoned. He declares that they aren't taking the great Cai Wen without a fight, and explodes his sword cane in the faces of two of them.
Takanata appears auspiciously, to make sure he catches the most important part for his thing, and realizes that one of the most important things is to make sure he gets the names of the demons in the combat.
Anto grows thorny branches and rooty feet, and "pulls a Master Deng" to hit everyone he can reach. Grasshopper and others boggle at his multiple branchy arms. Takanata declares that the plan is to figure out how to keep this from happening next time, but suddenly realizes that that's false.
The head ninja tells the others to "keep her busy" while he finishes the ritual.
"Oubliette, in the name of my fallen brothers, take his soul!" -Ninja
Takanata turns on the Eyes of the I Ching, just as a gate (that only he can see) opens beneath Cai Wen and he gets pulled in. Mei-Zhen, who appears to Takanata as a strange black featureless human form, which is its own sort of disturbing, shouts "No, he's mine!" To everyone else's eyes, Cai Wen falls to the ground unmoving.
Min Feng, checking out Cai Wen, thinks that Yoshi might have been poisoned with something like this by an agent of the Shadow - it's something that brings him closer to the World Above and Below. Anto thinks that the poison pushed him close enough to the World Below that Oubliette could grab his soul and essentially make him forcibly spiritwalk.
Mei-Zhen wishes that there was some way to track him, and Wei Han points out that there is a magic map. However, the Hunter's Map just has a really big X on it, as it thinks that Cai Wen is right there (where his body is). She snaps her fingers to look at it, and declares that she should be able to work with that. Mei-Zhen starts fussing with the map. Speaking of tracking, Min Feng checks on the locations of some of her studied folks - Ezokin is in the Gate of Shen, and Tai Lung is in the City of Spires.
Anto thinks that he can push other people who have been hit with the poison, through to the World Below, so they can spiritwalk to rescue Cai Wen. So the question is, how many darts did the ninja bring? That depends on how angry they were...
48 hours earlier
On the ship from the Isle of Beauty, Takanata finishes his latest watercolor, which looks a lot like a battlemap of a fight with ninja...
Grasshopper has also painted some prophetic drawings:
Anto yoinks a ninja towards him
Anto attacks a bunch of people with branchy limbs
Cai Wen is snatched into the World Below
Cai Wen says that he definitely wants to taunt the ninjas, but he doesn't want the combat to end up the way it did in Takanata's watercolor. Takanata disagrees - don't mess up the Yet! The important thing is to taunt them enough that they bring enough darts for everyone! Cai Wen thinks that the Rule of Threes can be invoked to get them extra-mad:
"Tell them the House of the Night Blades has come to get me three times and failed. By the rule of threes, they are broken."
Wei Han frets about how to get back from the World Below once they have Cai Wen, but Kuan-Xi is sure that'll be easier on the Night of Gates. Perhaps there are demons who the party knows from whom favors are owed? Shuyan apparently has a favor from a demon, but she's napping and not available for favor-using.
Grasshopper throws some chum in the ocean, trying to remember the chant Renyu did.
"Whale assigned you homework - how are you doing on that?" -Mike
"Um, I forget what it was." -Heidi
"The chum sinks to the bottom and there is no sign of Whale." -Mike
There is not much more that can be done from the boat, however, so the group waits for further planning until they arrive at the Port of Auspicious Voyage.
Grasshopper talks to Kuan-Xi about the local urchins, which include the healer-kids who helped her out when she was kidnapped. Maybe she can help them somehow? After some negotiation, she buys a bunch of pork buns and tells the urchins stories about Anto, while Anto (in disguise) tells them stories about how Cai Wen has defeated the House of the Night Blade.
Cai Wen's moll had been dressed like a geisha, so he and Wei Han go to look for flower houses to see if there are any which seem to be staffed entirely by demons. They don't find any, and it becomes clear to Wei Han that Cai Wen is enjoying the trip, but doesn't have any idea where he's going. When they check back in later, Takanata reminds him that they do know her name - Mei-Zhen! When Cai Wen asks around about a geisha named Mei-Zhen, he hears that she is in the House of the Lotus.
Min Feng and Takanata visit the cave where the Brilliant Dawn monastery has been camping out after they lost their monastery. Things are quite busy, with monks carrying boxes around. Jinghua is still greatful for the party's assistance with the cursed coins and says that while it is not his specialty, he will see what his order can dig up on demons. Master Jinghua Takanata and Min Feng to return early tomorrow.
After a meetup at lunch, Shen-Ji and Min Feng go on a shopping spree. Shen-Ji looks around jewelry stores and stone-carving stores, and finds (among other things) a fancy jade puzzle box which the salesman says has not been opened for a hundred years. He buys it, and lets Min Feng play with it for a while. She thinks it's easier than the Sphere of Harmony, but it takes her quite a while to get open. Min Feng also asks after the guy who sold her the antidote, but runs into a lot of frowns - people don't like dealing with minions of the Shadow like him. She does get his name (or at least what he goes by): the Quartermaster. They head down to the seedy side of town to try and set up a meeting with the Quartermaster. They foil an attempted trap, and decide that they seem too reputable, so Min Feng forges some credentials introducing herself as a lieutenant in the Circle of Spite, and inks a temporary tattoo on her arm. Now an attempt to set up a meeting is more successful, and they are invited to return to speak to the Quartermaster late that night in a winehouse of ill repute.
Meanwhile, Grasshopper succeeds in getting Kuan-Xi to come visit the urchins, who have all been convinced that Anto is a great hero. More pork buns later, the healer-trained urchins agree to meet them in the warehouse district "at the cross street with buildings."
Cai Wen and Wei Han visit the House of the Lotus - Dutiful Hsung is most pleased to see his good friends again. Cai Wen suggests that he would be most grateful to meet a particular geisha of the House, named Mei-Zhen. Madame Cho suggests that they meet in the Rose Petal Room, but Dutiful Hsung smoothly counter-suggests that the Lemon Blossom Room would be more appropriate. Mei-Zhen enters, and performs a lovely musical piece, baffling Cai Wen, who is sure that Mei-Zhen looks exactly like his moll, but is not at all a moll herself. Cai Wen tries to find out from Dutiful Hsung why the Rose Petal Room was inappropriate - the butler explains that the House does not have an astrologer on staff, so they did not realize the Night of Gates was coming in time, and, much to his chagrin and embarrassment, they did not have time to move the mirror out of the Rose Room. Enlightened but not understanding, Cai Wen and Wei Han take their leave.
Meanwhile, Kasumi tries to figure out, referencing her book of ninja etiquette, how to get ninja really annoyed at you, enough to show up in force. Well, one way to get them all there would be to hire them, but a way to get them particularly angry would be to join up with them and then break the honor vow made at joining. Ahah - they did call Kasumi a traitor.
Takanata arranges for invitations to a fancy party for the evening, before everyone gathers for dinner. Cai Wen explains about Mei-Zhen not being his moll after all. Anto recalls something - stories about not breaking mirrors on the Night of Gates, lest demons come out. Anto isn't pleased by the idea of a demon possessing Mei-Zhen - that would kind of throw her under the bus, and that's what Xiao Fa is for.
Grasshopper heads back to the urchins and gets them to tell her as many stories about demons as they can think up. Kasumi trolls for ninja, and attempts to get herself recruited by them.
"I want to join you!"
"Really? Do you know who we are?"
"Um, um, I can't remember the name. The enemies of Zhu Cai Wen - what more do I need to know? He must be stopped!"
"Then you have come to the right place! We are the House of the Night Blades."
They interrogate Kasumi as to why she hates him. She frowns and says that he goes from town to town, discarding women one after the other. Ah - they understand. They tell her that since she can get close to him, she should find out who is with him this time (since it is different each time) and warn them what their strengths and weaknesses are. But tomorrow night, she must be ready to lead him to the ambush location in the warehouse district, where they will send him off. They also say that as a side effect, if they can finally capture him, they'll all get to level up!
Takanata heads to the party, bringing as much of his entourage as isn't busy, and tells embarrassing stories about Cai Wen and the House of the Night Blade. Anto looks for people at the party who might be in need favors on the Night of Gates, but none of them are really in grave peril that can only be rescued by a trip to the World Below. However, there are some sages who would not look amiss at being given something that comes from the World Below - if Anto can get something for them, they would be obliged to put their great KS skills at his disposal in recompense. Min Feng gets an invitation to go home with an attractive gentleman, but shoots him down. Cai Wen ends up invited to the after-party, which is a particularly good time until Wei Han follows him there and looms stoically in the corner.
Then Min Feng, Shen-Ji, and Kasumi go to meet the Quartermaster; Kasumi pulls off the Scary Ninja look quite well, while Shen-Ji is clearly Min Feng's business manager. Min Feng says that she is in need of antidotes for a variety of drift poisons, though only one need be Masterful. The Quartermaster says that the price is 80 li, or Min Feng's master can owe him one significant favor. She tries to haggle him down, but he cuts her off. Perhaps it was not made clear to her before, but these items are being provided at cost to the Shadow's associates for reasons of encouraging the Shadow's business; they are not for haggling over. However, he will forgive her, since she has not dealt with the Quartermaster before. Min Feng pays the 80 li, takes the antidotes, and the group escapes.
Takanata dreamwalks to the Exalted Library, on the theory that he can dream about researching Oubliette there. However, he's dreaming more about the Library than the demon, so he mostly has a research montage that gets him five bonus dreamwalking for later.
Day of Gates
Takanata heads back to the cave of the Brilliant Dawn monks. Master Jinghua says that a rule of the World Below (like the World Above) is that if there is a place, there is a path to that place. Unless someone has intentionally guarded the path, there will usually be at least one safe path, but it will often not be clear which path it is unless you have information telling you how to go. The demon Oubliette is not about one single big pit that everyone goes into - different oubliettes are essentially custom made as part of his domain. However, the one flaw in his domain is that if there is a way in, there must be a way out. It can be guarded, or locked, or warded, but it cannot be completely eliminated.
Cai Wen starts passing out flyers to urchins - they declare the downfall of the House of the Night Blades, and that he is taking on all comers. Then he and Anto and Takanata drop by the House of the Lotus again, and persuade Madame Cho to let them see the Rose Petal room. The room is lovely, with rose motifs everywhere, but there is a large grey rug covering one wall. When Anto peeks underneath the rug, there's a large mirror, with beautiful etchings with motifs of love and beauty around the edges. Takanata offers to cast the I Ching for the real Mei-Zhen, but it isn't very interesting.
Kasumi meets back up with the ninja and briefs them on the party composition - she also mentions that Zhu Cai Wen is elusive and can sometimes undo poisons, so they will definitely need to bring extra. Wei Han buys a ball of twine and a coil of rope, in case they come in handy for path-following.
Shen-Ji goes to the Ministry of Justice and makes a Bureaucracy roll to make additional charges against the imprisoned leader of the Night Blades, increasing his sentence.
That night, after dark, Cai Wen, Anto, and Wei Han head back to the House of the Lotus. They ask to see Mei-Zhen in the Rose Petal Room, and Madame Cho warns them to please be careful about the rug. Wei Han blocks the door while Anto pulls the rug away, and the reflection of Mei-Zhen winks at Cai Wen. Anto, feeling guilty about breaking such a nice mirror, holds out his hand to the reflection in invitation. She takes his hand and (after a big chi roll and one karma) steps through. The real Mei-Zhen swoons.
The reflection says that she is astonished - she had never expected that kind of offer! This is most amazing! Cai Wen and Anto jump in to try to claim that she totally owes them one for it, and she agrees that she's quite happy to be helpful. (Somewhere else, Takanata clutches his head, convinced that letting the mirror demon out more permanently was not such a good idea).
Cai Wen, trying to tread a careful line that doesn't contradict his Yet (in which Mei-Zhen didn't know it was a trap), mentions Oubliette. Mei-Zhen assures him that as long as Anto doesn't let him out, he shouldn't be a problem. Cai Wen demurs - there might be something that causes Oubliette to try and grab him. Mei-Zhen says well, keep her close and it should all be fine.
Night of Gates
The party proceeds to the battlemap, and has the combat which Takanata has foreseen. Mei-Zhen sticks close to Cai Wen until he accidentally drives her away with his smoke vial, just in time to let his soul get captured on schedule.
As Cai Wen's soul is taken to the oubliette, he is carried beneath the branches of the smoking tree, then carried towards the sound of raucous laughter, through a party of demons celebrating and marching in a parade, then by the lake where the water does not move, then where the night flowers bloom and wither, and finally through where the gate shuts and opens not. The dark shape of Oubliette gives a strange-shaped key to a dark flappy shape, which heads away with it. Cai Wen sits down in the oubliette, along with two ninja, who look excited to see him, but he taunts them until they ignore him again.
Back in the real world, Mei-Zhen fiddles with the Hunter's Map, and replaces the big "X" for "Cai Wen is here" with something that seems more like a reflection of Cai Wen - small and visible, but inaudible. In the oubliette, Cai Wen has the feeling that he's being watched but not heard, and he does his best to pantomime out the path he was taken on, and what the key looked like.
When he finishes, the group compares notes.
Treeness. Fire and smoke rising. Or a geyser. Or slow fireworks.
Listened and heard laughter.
A bumpy roof? Underwater?
Thinking head, he had no idea how to describe it.
A doorknob. Unscrewing it?
Drawing letters? OFPTO? A key? Dungeon levels? Rar.
Two prisoners on either side of him.
Min Feng also gets two words from lip-reading: "smoke tree", and Cai Wen and Takanata can send three words back and forth since Takanata decrees that Cai Wen will be successfully returned to the inn shortly after dawn. Cai Wen sends "third party demons" to Takanata, and Takanata sends back "number the challenges". Cai Wen gestures four or five, shrugging.
Then, the group (including Mei-Zhen) sticks themselves with the leftover ninja darts. They ask her for advice on how to get back - she suggests that they not forget the path. Safe paths will tend to go both ways, though they may not always be safe.
Anto pushes everyone through, and the group follows Cai Wen's silver cord for a little ways, until they reach a choice: beneath the branches of the smoking tree or across the bridge of locusts. They choose the former. That takes them to a choice between the sound of raucous laughter and the sound of grinding and singing. Again, they choose the former, and meet up with the demon parade. There are a large number of demons, marching and cheering. They have signs, elephants on strings, balloons, all sorts of things. They're psyched to see the party - more guests! Anto says they're all just passing through, and Grasshopper gives them some sour candy he bought in the hopes that demons would like it.
The demons, suspecting power, say that they would really love to get their parade out in the real world. They'd totally owe anyone who could do that for them. Takanata says firmly that he fears they cannot be of assistance. Anto asks who they are - they're The Hundred Demons! They're famous for having parades. Takanata says firmly that he fears they cannot be of assistance. Anto recalls that in stories, usually there's not a lot of people being killed or tragedy related to parades, but sometimes things go awry. Takanata says firmly that he fears they cannot be of assistance, and the group moves on.
They choose between the lake where the water does not move and where the light flickers yellow and green; this one is iffier, and Takanata tries to get distance and direction to Cai Wen (he gets something not in human terms that he doesn't understand, but thinks Crossroads would work for the choice). No one is sure, but most people think the lake is more likely, and there's a "scrrr" sound from the lake, so they go that way.
At the lake's edge is a little furry creature with fuzzy whiskers and giant tusks of death, which Anto recognizes as a baby night terror. Grasshopper cuddles it, and it noms one of his chi and then seems healthier. Anto fills his waterskin at the lake.
From the lake, they have the choice of where the night flowers bloom and wither, and where comes the smell of green grass and dry bones. This is the one Cai Wen couldn't describe (actually, it was that he had forgotten that particular leg of the path), and think that smells are harder to describe in charades than flowers, so they choose the second option.
Black Donkey
The party reaches a green field strewn with white skeletons - human, human, hippopotamus, small leviathan, etc. It's kind of creepy. In the center of the field is a black donkey, morosely chewing grass.
"I suppose you're here to bother me. Get on." -Black Donkey
"It's Eeyore!" -Kate
Anto asks if the donkey has seen their friend - the donkey is puzzled. Do they come to him for information? What do they offer him? Grasshopper gives him the disappearing hat, which the donley eats. Anto protests - that was a very valuable hat, which he has been saving for a very long time! Now the donkey owes him one! The donkey doesn't seem to think that any sort of bargain has been cut, especially since he hasn't seen Anto's friend.
Grasshopper, having heard a million demon stories from the urchins, remembers tales of the Black Donkey. He's sort of the opposite of Horse in temperament, and those who bring him riders often escape. He doesn't usually eat the rider, they just... wear out.
Wei Han suggests that they ignore the donkey and keep going - or turn back - but they seem to be in an endless green field now. Shen-Ji, impatient, offers to ride.
"That strikes me as a noble sacrifice." -Takanata
"If I ride you for nine rounds, will you let nine of them go?" -Shen-Ji
"If you ride me, I will let all the rest go." -Black Donkey
"For how long?"
"For as long as you can."
Basically, if the party offers a rider, he will let everyone else go. But if the rider wants to get off, they must offer something else. Anto wishes that he had brought the spirit grass after all, and the Donkey's ears twitch. Anto has spirit grass? No, no, he doesn't actually.
"I'm sure you gave all your spirit grass to Horse." -Black Donkey
On the other hand, they have Horse points, which are valuable. He's willing to take one horse point each to let them go. Shen-Ji haggles - How about a combination? The Donkey agrees - if Shen-Ji rides him, then he need only spend horse points to get off. The first round costs nine points to get off. The second, eight. And so on.
When Shen-Ji gets on, the rest find that they are free to leave. They stick around to see how Shen-Ji does, however, and various people pick up bones from the ground. Anto pockets some squirrel bones and Min Feng picks up some tiny leviathan bones.
Round 1: 5 riding successes. Good.
Round 2: 4 riding successes. Enough
Round 3: 6 riding successes. Cruising.
Round 4: 7 riding successes. Doing well
Round 5: 6 riding successes. Still enough.
Round 6: 4 riding successes. Lower two main stats by one. (Shen-Ji loses a point from each Body substat and a point from each Social substat).
"Think hard about how long that lasts before you decide if you're ever rolling those dice again." -Takanata
People watching Shen-Ji think he looks older. However, he decides to go for it.
Round 7: 8 riding successes. That's fine.
Round 8: 4 riding successes. Okay, that is going to hurt. He spends four karma to get up to eight successes, and takes no damage.
Round 9: He spends a horse point, and gets off.
The group backtracks, and does not choose the smell of grass and bones this time, but where the night flowers bloom and wither. That brings them to a choice between where the gate shuts and opens not, and where the wind blows ceaselessly with tears. Choosing the former they come to a gate, which is shut and opens not, locked with an ornate lock. Min Feng tries to pick it, to no avail. Wei Han looks around for a key, but does not find one immediately evident.
Min Feng walks through the gate, and finds herself in the oubliette with Cai Wen and the two ninja. She quickly disguises herself as a ninja and mocks them for getting a raw deal, but they think it was a fine trade - two of them to make sure Cai Wen was captured, and now their House can un-doom itself. They've fulfilled their end of the bargain now, finally. However, ten minutes later, she finds she is not so easily able to walk back out. Hmm.
Outside, Anto looks around the gate and finds some birdlike tracks. Grasshopper and Ho follow the tracks for a ways and then the baby night terror manages to follow them for a little longer, and they lead to a boundary with the World of Dreams.
Takanata asks Mei-Zhen what the flappy thing is likely to be - she says that such creatures are commonly used as messengers. The group contemplates how to deal with the World of Dreams. Takanata has dreamwalking, but he has used it already to visit the Exalted Library. Anto can push people into the World of Dreams from the World Below, but he will have no Wu-Xing type powers there.
Anto raises an earth wall for defense, and he and Wei Han remain behind while the others go into the World of Dreams, except Takanata.
Takanata says he'll be back in ten minutes, and then auspiciously arrives in the Oubliette with Cai Wen and the others. That works, but he isn't able to leave back out again when the scene is through. Cai Wen refreshes his dreamwalking shtick, but even when he dreamwalks, he can only dream of the Oubliette - kind of like the Northern dreamworld. He tries to, from the dreamworld, auspiciously arrive to meet the others, and manages to join Cai Wen as an image on the Hunter's Map. He holds up a picture of the key that Cai Wen and Min Feng have put together, but by this time, the others have mostly reached the key on their own...
Meanwhile, the rest of the party chases the flappy thing around the dreamworld until they finally catch up to it thanks to some memory rolls and karma reminding them about what Cai Wen pantomimed the key's appearance as. When they catch up to the flappy thing, it's carrying the key and is flapping its way up a road with a sign saying "To Lucky Chang's House". Grasshopper shoots the flappy thing, the night terror attacks it, Shen-Ji blasts it, Grasshopper leaps up to it for the knockout tackle and brings it down. They take the key and start backtracking towards Anto.
Wei Han senses the presence of people who want to break into the World Below, through this Wall here, which about seems to fit the number of PCs (and critters) along. Trying to pull Ho back in, Anto has a sense that the Wall is nearly closing on his hand, but manages to get him back too. The group returns with the key, and successfully opens the gate - Takanata, Wei Han, Min Feng, and two ninja zip out.
Retracing their steps along the path (except for the bit with the Black Donkey), the group gets back to the Hundred Demons. They are interested to see that Anto has more companions again, and try to offer him various favors, but Takanata says firmly that he fears they cannot be of assistance, and sheperds everyone along again.
A Last Possibility for Betrayal
As Anto gets ready to send everyone back to the Material World, some people suggest that he strand Mei-Zhen away from her body - she is a demon, after all. She protests - that would be cruel, especially after she helped rescue Cai Wen! Anto wonders if he could pull her body in - maybe at her mirror, but they're not at her mirror. If he could shove people back and forth physically, they would all be here physically.
Anto suggests that she pay him in favors for being sent back. She starts to get angry - he isn't charging everyone else to not trap them forever and powerless in the World Below.
Mei-Zhen turns her wiles on Cai Wen. Bringing her through the mirror was very generous, and she's willing to be very generous with him later this evening. Cai Wen says that he wants her agreement to go back into the mirror afterwards. Well, what are they going to offer her for that? Bringing her back to her body, Cai Wen says. What, really? He's threatening to strand her and let her body starve unless she submits to this sort of extortion? She helped rescue him!
Takanata notes that she's not really much more powerful than Pir Pir - maybe a little more flexible. And the tengu are all the way in the Material World without destroying the world. However, the thought of getting favors from a possibly disadvantaged demon is too good to resist, so Cai Wen continues to press.
"Let's talk about favors..." -Cai Wen
"I'm starting to be a little creeped out here with all this 'do what we want or else' stuff. I've already offered you my favors..." -Mei-Zhen
Takanata jumps in - he thinks the main thing to get her to agree to is to not take over anyone else's life. She can't be Mei-Zhen forever and make her not wake up or destroy her reputation or anything like that. She counter-offers a one-shot perfectly impenetrable disguise, but the party decides that the "no taking over lives" is the way to go, and she agrees, still somewhat cross about the whole extortion thing.
Anto pushes everyone back through to the Material World (he is able to bring back the demon water from the lake, but everything else he and everyone else picked up does not return with them).
Min Feng plays with the puzzle box one last time, and manages to get it open - there is an amulet of protection inside.

Home | News | Justifying a deed of company arrangement – the case of Britax vs Infa Products
Justifying a deed of company arrangement – the case of Britax vs Infa Products
By John Keenan and Peter Krejci
In a recent matter involving the appointment of BRI Ferrier’s Peter Krejci and Robyn Karam as voluntary administrators, a major creditor (by value) challenged the deed of company arrangement (DOCA) incorporating a creditors’ trust that had been accepted by vote of all other creditors (by number) and the administrators’ casting vote.
Infa Products Pty Ltd was a child car-seat manufacturing company that had operated in the Australian market. However, approximately five years before the voluntary administration (VA) appointment it had sold its business operations to a related company, Infa Secure Pty Ltd. Shortly before the administrators’ appointment, the remaining business assets and intellectual property were also sold.
Britax Childcare Pty Ltd, a major creditor and primary competitor, had brought a series of legal claims against Infa Products, relating to various alleged breaches of intellectual property. The litigation ran for a number of years until Infa Products was no longer financially able to defend the case, at which point it sought to appoint voluntary administrators.
Britax was clearly frustrated that Infa Products had been placed into voluntary administration when they were so close to the end of the protracted intellectual property litigation. Furthermore, upon realisation that Infa Products had sold many of its assets, Britax took offence at the asset disposal transactions, and alleged that they had not been undertaken for a proper purpose or for proper value.
A substantial portion of the administrators’ efforts were spent investigating and reporting on the asset disposal transactions, so that creditors could be properly informed when deciding the fate of Infa Products.
The VA appointment and vote for a DOCA
When the administrators were appointed in December 2015, Infa Products’ balance sheet included only cash, debtors and liabilities.
The administrators immediately undertook a proper and thorough investigation of the company’s affairs and the conduct of its officers, including the previous asset disposals. They concluded that, while there may have been potential claims against the director and related parties, a liquidation was unlikely to result in a higher return to creditors as compared to the proposed DOCA.
In accordance with the objectives of Part 5.3A of the Corporations Act, they were obliged to recommend the DOCA.
The second creditors’ meeting ended in a deadlock on the vote, with all minor creditors voting for the proposed DOCA and Britax (the largest creditor by value) voting for liquidation. This meant the administrators had to exercise a casting vote and did so in line with their recommendation in favour of the DOCA.
Legal proceedings against the administrator
Following the vote and execution of the DOCA, Britax brought legal proceedings to overturn the DOCA and the conduct of the administration. It obtained an injunction preventing the deed administrators from executing the creditors’ trust pending the outcome of the proceedings.
Britax asserted that a liquidator may have been able to pursue actions against Infa Products’ director, including claims for accessorial liability against related parties. It also asserted that the administrators’ investigations were insufficient and that they had wrongly exercised their casting vote to carry the DOCA.
To not prejudice the other creditors, Britax offered funding to cover the projected dividend of those creditors under the DOCA. Further, to support the asserted claims in a liquidation, Britax offered limited funding for a liquidator to conduct further investigations.
The court subsequently scrutinised the administrators’ investigations, reporting and their views formed as a result of their investigations.
During the proceedings, the deed administrators as defendants maintained a predominantly ‘neutral’ position, acting for the benefit of all creditors including Britax, and informing the court as to the facts and their views.
In July 2016, the court ruled overwhelmingly in the administrators’ favour, vindicating them in respect of the work they conducted and their recommendation in favour of the DOCA.
The judge, in effect, found that the administrators had conducted complete and thorough investigations of the relevant transactions and had fully reported their findings to creditors. In some regards, he thought that the administrators may have even been optimistic in terms of some of the potential claims that may have been brought in a liquidation, which in the absence of any contradictory expert evidence from Britax, suggests the DOCA represented even greater comparative value.
The judge was therefore not satisfied that there was a realistic prospect of a case against Infa Products’ director succeeding in a liquidation. He concluded that the administrators were correct to exercise their casting vote in favour of the DOCA.
Ultimately, the judge dismissed the application by Britax, lifted the injunction preventing the creditors’ trust from being executed and awarded costs in favour of the deed administrators and Infa Products.
Lessons from the case
This case demonstrates that while the courts provide a forum for review, just because a creditor with overwhelming value may have a particular view (and possibly an underlying commercial agenda), this does not necessarily dictate the outcome of the administration.
By undertaking a proper process, with a thorough investigation, the administrators were able to reach a reasonable outcome for all creditors in the circumstances – an outcome that stood up to scrutiny and concluded many years of litigation.
Reflecting on the pitfalls of long-running litigation, it’s worth noting that Britax may have been able to settle their claims with Infa Products in the lead-up to the administration. This, with the benefit of hindsight, would have represented a far better financial return than Britax is now faced with, having lost the challenge to the DOCA and being the subject of an adverse costs order.

The Age Has Googled A Ferry Disaster
The Age is running a story about Google Maps at the moment and the apparent “ferry disaster” in Sydney Cove:
The ferry “collision” appears right beside a giant cruise liner – either the Queen Elizabeth 2 or Queen Mary 2 – which was docked at Sydney Cove when the photographs were taken.
The image appears to show a ferry travelling at full speed colliding with a smaller boat. Metres away, another boat appears submerged under water except for the tip of its nose. Source: theage.com.au
Google have said that this is just an image stitching issue. The interesting thing is that the Age couldn’t be bothered to research their story properly. Two things indicate that the Liner in question is in fact the Queen Elizabeth 2: the fact that she is berthed facing out into the harbour, whereas the Queen Victoria was facing Circular Quay; and secondly, a quick Google revealed that the call-sign on the roof of the Bridge “GBTT” belongs to the QE2.
Link to Google Map [^], with the QE2’s call sign clearly visible.
Sydney – Two Queens
Mar 3rd, 2008
The CannibalRabbits are just back from Sydney. We headed up there to see the passing of the two Queens – Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 and the new Queen Victoria.
There are more photos on the Photo Gallery [^]
We were lucky enough to have booked a harbour cruise for the big event. This meant that we had grandstand seats to watch the passing of the two Queens. It was amazing the number of people that decided to join us the shores of the Harbour all around Mrs Macquaries Seat and Cremorne Point and Ashton Park on the north side of the Harbour were absolutely crowded. On the Harbour itself had every size of vessel from ten-foot tinnies up to the 90,000 ton, 965 foot long, 179 foot tall Queen Victoria.
The passing was billed by Cunard as a Royal Rendezvous. This was the QE2’s 29th and final visit to Sydney, and marked the 30th anniversary of her first visit to Sydney on the 24th February 1978. Once this world cruise is over she will be turned into a luxury floating hotel in Dubai. The Queen Victoria was on her maiden world voyage. While passing on either side of Fort Denison the liners sounded a whistle salute, which could heard 16km (10miles) away.

Wild Friday: Poor Spies – Drowning in Your Data?
Dewey June 5, 2015 Wild Friday
According to the aptly named Intercept, there is too much data gushing into the snoop trough. So looking at everyone’s pubes and philosophies for bad apples is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Like this mixed up metaphor, the sun-setting of recently revealed spy tactics merely sets the stage for new things.
What will the US Congress come up with next? Does it matter now that everyone in the country has been scanned, photographed, fingerprinted, psychoanalyzed and programmed to worry that everything they do and think is being observed? Perhaps it is the individual who is a needle, smothered in a haystack of technological power and control.

The Best Video Game Box Arts Of All Time
Jordan Micheal Ukawoko March 8, 2019
Delicious Video Game box arts are my favourite thing about this industry. A lot of games over the years have had great box arts while others have had abominations. Anyways here are the top 10 video game box arts of all time.
Some may say recency bias, but I don’t think so. I fell in love with the Devil May Cry 5 box art the minute it was revealed. First of all, it’s the best Devil May Cry box art of all time. No question. And secondly, it just looks incredibly slick and stylish. You have Nero, Dante and V walking like it’s them against the world, and you see demons hidden in the background. Plus the logo is stunning. It’s an excellent boxart all around.
9. The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask 3D
I’m usually not a fan of crowded box arts like Dragon Ball Tenkaichi 3 or Persona 5, but The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask boxart is one of a kind. It’s a very different boxart for a Zelda game. It’s dark, gritty and mysterious with Skull Kid at the very top and the moon looking as angry as ever.
8. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
This one was actually my phone background for a long time. Believe it or not us in Europe got a different boxart. It still looks great, but the North American Breath of the Wild Boxart is one of the greatest of all time and the best Zelda boxart. You get a sense of revolution and new beginning when looking at this box art, and that’s what Breath of the Wild is all about. A fresh start.
7. NieR Automata (Japanese)
It’s an absolute shame that we in the west got the horrible western box art. The western box art was such a mess compared to this gorgeously designed Japanese box art. What was Square Enix even thinking? Did they believe that this beautiful Japanese boxart would not appeal to the west? Crazy. Thankfully this was fixed in the Game of the Year version, but I’m still annoyed that it took two whole years before the west got this amazing box art.
6. Metal Gear Solid 3
It wouldn’t be right to make a “Best Video Game Box Arts of all Time” without at least one Metal Gear Solid box art making the list. So here it is. Metal Gear Solid 3. Yoji Shinkawa is a legend, and all Metal Gear games have excellent box arts.
5. Kingdom Hearts III
I still remember being in complete shock when Square Enix revealed this box art on Twitter. The box art for Kingdom Hearts 3 is incredibly good. The whole gang is there, and it looks like a shoutout to the original Kingdom Hearts box art. 10/10
4. DOOM 2016 Alternative Cover
DOOM 2016 doesn’t have a good cover. In fact, it’s very mediocre, but the good thing is the game came with an alternative box art. I actually did not notice this alternative box art until I finished the game and got really mad with myself for not seeing it earlier. This should have been the official box art, but the good thing is the Switch version of the game has this beautiful piece of art as the official box art so all is well.
3. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
This boxart is cool. Yes, I think the word “cool” sums up this boxart pretty well. Everyone looks so smug and overconfident in this boxart. Sora is sitting like he can do no wrong, Riku looks like he’s about to conquer the world and Kairi looks like she doesn’t have any time for fun and games. This is such a simple yet beautifully designed box art.
2. Demon Souls (Japanese)
As I type this, I’m just thinking of a glorious 4k Demon Souls remake. Yum. Demon Souls has the best boxart out of all the Souls games including Bloodborne. Look at this and tell me this is a bad box art. Again this is a simple yet striking piece of art.
1. Kingdom Hearts
The original Kingdom Hearts has the bext boxart of all time. It’s just so extraordinary. You see a bunch of anime characters with Donald Duck and Goofy sitting on some kind of old building. The sky is hazy and ominous, the setting is uncanny and everything just looks incredibly mysterious and bizarre. You can’t tell what kind of game this is by just looking at the box art. This is Nomura’s best artwork to date in my opinion.

as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
these things.
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
that program using a modified version of the Library.
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
be combined with the library in order to run.
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library.
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
in the event an application does not supply such function or
table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
application-supplied function or table used by this function must
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least
three years, to give the same user the materials specified in
Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of
performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further

countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms
of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.
It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library,
if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the

La Palma Island is widely known as the “pretty island” thanks to its landscapes, forests, streams and beaches. The clarity of its night sky has meant that the Observatory of the Roque de Los Muchachos, situated on the highest point of La Palma, has become a world reference point for Astrophysics, thanks to the installation of the Great Canarian Telescope, currently the telescope with the largest and most powerful lens in the world. Moreover, its natural treasures include the forest of El Canal and Los Tiles, which is one of the best examples of laurel forest, and is recognized as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO; as well as the National Park of the Crater of Taburiente.
