From Heroes Wiki
"Purpose" is the eighth iStory volume.
First mentioned:
The eighth iStory volume is called Purpose.
Heroes Evolutions
In this iStory volume, each user is able to explore the life of a former Primatech agent, John Mulligan, as he tries to settle into a normal life after months on the run. Stories are told in 3rd person, with the story usually following the paths that John can take. At the beginning of Chapter 1 of Purpose, an Assignment Tracker for John was provided.
Chapter 1: Too Many Options
Release Date: 4 January 2010
John Mulligan, the mysterious "Overcoat" who was involved with both Wildman's faction and The Guardians, returns to New York to try and live a new life, free of fear. But his old life keeps coming back to get him. A simple stroll through Manhattan turns into a heroic act as John is forced to rewind time to save the life of a woman. The ghosts of his past, namely a former Primatech target named Ian, also plays a hand in John's day, and these encounters sway his idea of what his purpose is. After a job interview full of rewound mistakes, John receives a call from an unlikely person. Samuel Sullivan. And Samuel wants to meet this special time manipulator...
Chapter 2: The Offer
Release Date: 11 January 2010
John Mulligan is looking for his purpose. Does he belong with the carnival? A tour of the grounds with the persuasive Samuel seems to push John's mind in that direction, but a violent confrontation with a former target of his brings back old memories and spreads concern amongst the carnies. John, knowing that he does not belong at the carnival, sets out to leave. But a tiny, hope-filled voice draws him back and John happily reunites with Jennie, Chris and Gail Bowman. But the happy family is not what he remembers. They have been brainwashed. It is up to John to save them. With a little help from The Iron Maiden...
Chapter 3: A Partner
John Mulligan, a man without a purpose, has finally found something that he wants to fight for. With his friends under the carnival's spell, John teams up with his former partner Lauren Gilmore to bring down the carnival. The old friends share information and learn about new and desired relationships until Lauren extends an offer for John to join her in Washington. But an old enemy lies lurking in the shadows. The carnival thought they got rid of him, but he's back. The Watcher makes a surprising offer to John, one that he reluctantly accepts. John knows he can't trust The Watcher, but when Gail's life is on the line, does he have a choice?
Chapter 4: The Raid
John is in a whole heap of trouble. After receiving a strange mission from Angela Petrelli, John calls Lauren and discovers that the carnival raid did not go according to plan. With the help of The Watcher, John gets to the carnival and finds the aftermath of Noah's attack. John goes to his good friend Jennie, but Chris and Gail are less than happy to see him after what happened to Lydia. The reappearance of The Watcher only fuels Chris's mistrust and not even Bo is able to stop Chris from attacking. Things don't look good...
Chapter 5: However It Gets Done
Release Date: 1 February 2010
Specials fight specials in a battle that threatens John Mulligan's new purpose. With Chris, Bo and Pearl hellbent on stopping him, John finds himself being hunted and attacked. Using his Primatech training, John manages to outsmart the three carnies and escape with his life. But The Watcher is not done with John, and reappears to seemingly help him find Lauren. When the former Company partners are reunited, The Watcher springs his trap and tries to force them to help him destroy the carnival. Lauren escapes to find Noah, but John decides to stop "Henry" once and for all. He and The Watcher are ready to battle it out, but things just got a lot more complicated. The isolated field that held the Carnival is gone. Now, their battle will take place in Central Park...
Chapter 6: How to Stop an Insane Man
The time has come to stop Samuel Sullivan, but is it too late? Together, John and The Watcher learn of Samuel's evil plans and, when The Watcher tries to stop John, the former Company agent finally opens The Watcher's eyes about love and family. John then calls in help from an old friend and rescues Lauren, Noah and Claire, who join him in the mission to stop the carnival. When John goes searching for the Bowmans and is attacked by Eli, it is The Watcher who saves him. When Samuel is finally defeated, new and old friends unite to tie up the loose ends. After everything seems to be over, there is only one person John wants to see... Gail Bowman.
The first chapter of Purpose was released on January 4, 2010.

Serge Pradier, president of the Réunion, said: “We are delighted to see the inaugural award being awarded to such a worthy and aspiring winner, who’s a great credit to our profession.”
Raúl Martínez started his career working in his father’s bar in Spain, studied food and beverage management and a tourism degree in Madrid with experience at the 3-star Zalacain. On moving to the UK he became restaurant manager at Ibérica Food and Culture, London, before joining the Arts Club in 2012.
Martínez impressed the judges with his comprehensive research into the history of the Réunion.

The Critic #02 (The Lifted Brow 23)
This text was first published in June-July 2014, in The Lifted Brow 23 – The Ego Issue.
1. IN WHICH WE ARE INTRODUCED TO DAVE
Dave the Comedian was an everyman; which is a tautology, because every man wants to be a comedian, and there is very little space in Australia for a comedian who isn’t an everyman. The space of stand-up comedy is defiantly masculine in the most traditional sense. Adrienne Blaine compares the stand-up comedian to the personification of erection: the man conquers his audience with laughter the way he would sexually subsume a woman; it is “a social area where patriarchal promise of dominion can be easily realised.” Comedian Pete Holmes compared the daily challenge of stand-up comedy to the ongoing work a man puts into confirming his masculine, non-homosexual, non-effeminate identity in these, crude, words: “you have to keep doing it and keep proving it every day — get your comedy dick hard every day and fuck audiences.”
Every woman who has spent time with comedians off-stage has felt the terrifying, laborious pressure to find them funny, to laugh, to let them feel that they are strong, victorious, alpha—even though the affirmation of women is never as valued as the respect of other comedians, other men. Comedy, like politics, is patriarchy condensed. Christopher Hitchens, who always seemed to identify with the alpha male, and uphold the values of patriarchy, wrote in Vanity Fair in 2007 that women could not be as funny as men, because they did not evolve with the constant, evolutionary need to impress females at all cost. The ones who were funny – he conceded some existed – were “hefty or dykey or Jewish, or some combo of the three.” In other words, too masculine to fit neatly into patriarchal gender roles, sorry.
“Dying on stage” is that exactly: a strangely mesmerising witnessing of someone’s social power crumbling entirely into nothingness. Dave the Comedian died on stage in the first five minutes. His jokes about finding clitoris were terrible. He kept asking how much time he had left (much). He berated the audience for not laughing. He vomited, fell, and started bleeding. He got confused and repeated his act twice. He made fat jokes, rape jokes, gay jokes, Julia Gillard jokes, and made it abundantly clear how much he was trying to impress Wil Anderson. In terms outlined above, according to which stand-up comedy is the world order, the comedian pure erection, and the audience a vagina to be conquered, Dave the Comedian was a spectacle of emasculation.
But Dave the Comedian was the joke itself, woven together out of gunk of masculinity by Zoe Coombs Marr, member of Sydney-based female performance collective post and apparently excellent in drag.
Coming from the intellectually rigorous and mature culture of performance in Sydney – where, unlike in Melbourne, the link between independent performance and academia is strong and fruitful – post had created a body of work that made elaborate formalist jokes about what is supposed to happen in theatre, deconstructing formal devices of traditional dramaturgy and stage design, of character and text. In Gifted and Talented in 2006, they improbably blended over-ambitious mothers’ programs for their daughters enrolled in a variety of appropriately feminine activities with the torture routines at Guantanamo Bay. In Shamelessly Glitzy Work in 2009, they overlaid a conversation recorded, seemingly, during an acid trip, with every device of drama and illusion that theatre had, making a bizarre variety show that had an undeniable and persuasive, if entirely artificial, dramatic force. And in Oedipus Schmoedipus, at Sydney Festival 2014, they staged every important death in the Western dramatic canon, one after another. Coombs-Marr’s solo work, on the other hand, emphasised extreme awkwardness, of which Dave must have been the pinnacle of possible.
It was hard to pinpoint what made Dave feel like a work of genius. Coombs-Marr’s feeling for pacing, tone, and structure destroyed Dave’s masculine ego in every way possible – he was even revealed to be gay – without once coming across as mean. If anything, Dave accumulated sympathy as he accumulated failures. It was hard to tell if a woman could not bring the kind of hate to her drag that a man could, or if the audience, given a portrait without overt commentary, defaulted to pity instead of ridicule, a gesture of generosity they would not necessarily have extended towards failure of femininity. However, it was the exuberance of the ridicule that seemed significant: because Zoe Coombs-Marr herself was a small, queer woman who nonetheless filled the stage to the brim, Dave and all the men he represented were never the centre of the piece, but simply a pretext for dressing up, for play-acting. The more that the show departed from garden-variety awkwardness into bizarre, the more inventive Dave’s questionable comedy choices became, the more we were settled into watching a woman take the piss out of masculinity. Paradoxically, it was precisely in the act of drag that Zoe Coombs-Marr asserted a female voice in the room, a voice that became all the more distinct, the more accurately she was pinning down the image of the unsuccessful male comedian. Unlike much of feminist comedy playing around Melbourne Comedy Festival, the flavour of this show was not oppositional, not angry, not pushing against a narrowly defined female role; instead, it was as if it swallowed a narrowly defined male role and showed how much a woman can encompass. It was this generosity, ultimately, that resonated. It seemed premonitory and indicative: this is what feminism 4.0 would look like. Continue reading “The Critic #02 (The Lifted Brow 23)” »

Harle, J. C., and Andrew Topsfield, Indian Art in the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford: Ashmolean Museum, 1987), no. 65 on p. 54, illus. p. 54
Vishnu is, with Shiva, one of the two most important gods in later Hinduism. He is regarded as sustainer of the universe and maintainer of order. Assuming various forms (avatars), he restores the balance of good and evil in the world.
First floor | Room 32 | India from 600
This fine stele represents the god Viṣṇu, easily identifiable by his tall cylindrical crown (kirīṭa-mukuṭa) and the discus and conch held in his rear hands. The large size of these emblems and the small flames sprouting from them, as well as the discus turned endwise, are all stylistic marks of the end of the Pallava period (7th–9th centuries), as is the little strip of material sticking up from the topmost belt. The outline of the stele follows that of the figure.
The god stands stiff-legged and wears an ankle-length transversely pleated dhoti, the man’s lower garment still worn by vast numbers of Indians today. There are three belts, the upper apparently jeweled and the lower (presumably of cloth) having outward-flowing side-ribbons and an ankle-length pleated strip hanging down on each side. The god wears a sacred thread (yajñopavīta) and stomach band (udurabandha); the former has a clasp by the shoulder and one strand joins the stomach band. Jewellry includes triangular foliate ear-rings, armlets (keyūras) with a central circular portion from which rise three jeweled spikes, a single broad necklace and three plain bracelets on each wrist.
Monuments and sculpture in stone only appear in Tamilnadu in the 7th century, although their degree of stylistic development implies a previous tradition in perishable materials. Images of this type, both cut out of the living rock or in high relief on stele, thus stand fairly close to the emergence of the style which was to be continued so brilliantly under the early Coḷas. Due to its late appearance and the intense conservatism of sculptural style in South India (indeed through the whole Coḷa period that ends c.1250 A.D., there are no radical departures), the history of style in Tamilnadu follows a very different rhythm from that in other parts of India.

HEALTH / MEDICAL CORRUPTION
When an honest doctor chose to give up medical practice
Tales of medical malpractice and its impact on patients are all too common in India. But what does the culture of corruption mean for one who wishes to remain true to the noble profession that he had chosen for himself? Pavan Kulkarni finds out.
Health Laws and Governance
21 April 2015 -
Much has been said and written about entrenched corruption and institutionalised unethical practices in medicine, involving prescription for unnecessary tests and medicines, or recommendations for unnecessary hospitalisation or surgery, either for commissions or to meet targets imposed on doctors by private hospitals.
Apart from such obvious manifestations of corruption, however, is the slow and insidious damage that such corruption has seeded into the field of medicine in general, by thwarting committed professionals who had internalised the Hippocratic Oath in letter and spirit and sought to carry it out in practice. Well known author and gynaecologist, Dr Arun Gadre, is one such.
At a recent panel discussion held in Bangalore to highlight medical malpractices in the private health sector and the burden that it creates, Dr Gadre recounted his experience working as a gynaecologist in a village of Maharashtra, and the unrest he experienced as his idealism collided against the sordid realities in the healthcare business, eventually leading him to give up medical practice.
Choosing a medical career
Inspired by social worker Baba Amte, Dr Gadre, along with his wife, bid farewell to the comforts of city life in 1988 and moved to Lasalgaon, a village in Maharashtra with the noble intention of offering his services as a gynaecologist to the rural poor. Were he not there to conduct Caesareans, the pregnant women of the village would have to travel 70 kilometres to find a gynaecologist surgeon in Nasik.
While his earnings were nowhere close to what it could have been in the city, it was the satisfaction of doing justice to the medical profession, which he held in such high esteem, that took him into the drought-struck regions of rural Maharashtra.
“The medical field is such that students who venture into it cannot help being taken over by the nobility of this profession,” Dr Gadre said in the Panel on Health Rights. “Very rarely can a doctor think only about money while treating his patients.”

“The first ten years in this village constituted the most wonderful experience of my life,” he said with a bitter-sweet nostalgia. Working under ill-equipped conditions, Dr Gadre conducted many successful Caesareans here.
“There was no blood bank, no paediatrician, no hi-tech equipment,” he recollects, “In case of an emergency, it would take over eight hours for a bottle of blood to reach here from Nasik. Yet, I could successfully operate even on patients with an uterus rupture, because they had faith in me.”
Virus of commercialisation
But as the “virus of commercialisation” began spreading like a wild-fire, this essential faith in the doctor began to be eroded. Gadre recalls with regret, “Doctors, who were till then happy to send their patients to me for surgeries, began insisting that their patients go to Nasik, because I did not give them any commission for referring patients to me.”
Recollecting a tragic incident in particular, he spoke about one of his patients who was thus victimised. “She had given five stillbirths. She was a very poor woman and could not afford a surgeon’s fee. I had told her I would accept any amount that she was willing to offer as fees, but that a Caesarean was a must under the conditions. She could have delivered normally, but it was highly probable that the baby would die.”
Who will lead the anti-corruption agenda in the health sector?
Healthcare: A policy of neglect
The expecting woman and her mother were convinced, and had given their consent for surgery. But the doctor she had consulted instigated her relatives to take the patient to a hospital in Nasik, and they had been convinced that it was the only way to save the baby. These relatives descended on Dr Gadre’s clinic and carried her away from his operation theatre to an unqualified practitioner.
“I can never forget the sight of those two women, who came back crying to me the next day, saying they had lost the baby,” he said. It was at this point that Dr Gadre began having his first few doubts about the point behind continuing his practice.
There had been only two cases of post-operative death in his 20 years of practice until then. “In both instances, the patient’s family had only thanked me saying, ‘You tried your best doctor, what more could you do?’”, Dr Gadre said.
But the times were rapidly changing. Instances of unruly mobs attacking surgeons and hospitals if patients died during surgery were being reported with increasing frequency.
“The commercial doctors around me were angry with me as I never gave them any commission. They often tried to instigate mobs against me,” Dr Gadre notes. But it was not only the doctors, but also politicians and patients themselves who had given in to this culture of commercial profiteering.
A mafia grew up around this nexus, waiting to prey upon surgeons who got a complicated case where the probability of death during surgery was high. This was their chance to attack and extort money from him. This trend had spread in urban and rural areas alike, and conscientious, rational doctors were the worst affected.
“I was afraid,” he recollects. “There was no placard on my forehead, proclaiming that I am an ethical doctor. Anything could go wrong in the operation theatre and the consequences could be dire. My wife started getting tremors out of fear.”
It was at this time that he was advised by a friend, who was also a doctor, to stop worrying about the mob. “Just throw a few lakhs on the crying husband’s face and everything will be fine,” his friend told him.
On being told that he did not have the money to buy peace since he never charged his patients high fees, the same doctor told a dismayed Gadre, “Come on, start charging them then. You must increase your turnover!”
Dr Arun Gadre
This was not why Arun Gadre had entered the medical profession. Things worsened and his nightmare came true when the third patient died in his hospital. As he was conducting a post-mortem after her death, the dead patient’s mother, who was a nurse in the same hospital, stood beside him assuring him that he need not conduct a post-mortem, for it was she who had delivered the patient to him and knew well that the doctor was not to blame.
But by then, a huge mob had already descended on his hospital, demanding compensation. “I refused to give in. Fortunately 70 percent of the people in the mob had been my patient at some point of time or the other in the past and I was spared,” he said.
This incident was a turning point in his life. “I realised that time was up. I could not maintain my morality and ethics in this field if I had to survive. And I quit medical practice that day.”
Voices of Conscience
After quitting medical practice, Dr Gadre joined SATHI (Support for Advocacy and Training to Health Initiatives) as an Associate Coordinator to fight for the health rights of patients and to bring in accountability in both public and private healthcare.
As he decided to compile a report on medical malpractices, he was advised by the activists he was associated with to document complaints from patients. But he had something else in mind. When he expressed his wish to document testimonies of doctors who were frustrated by the corruption that has penetrated deep into the healthcare system in this country, people eyed him incredulously. Which doctor would want to confess to the degeneration of ethics in the profession?
In 2014, Dr Gadre, along with Dr Abhay Shukla of SATHI, interviewed 78 doctors from various cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Calcutta and Nasik, as well as a number of small towns and put together a definitive report on the widely prevalent medical malpractices in private hospitals today. This was compiled in a book titled “Voices of Conscience from the Medical Profession”.
Recollecting his interview with Dr Gautham Mistry, a cardiologist in Chandigarh, Dr Gadre says he was surprised but appreciative of Dr Mistry’s willingness to give an hour-long interview with such brutal honesty. In the interview, Dr Mistry recounted his seven years of experience in private medical practice, admitting candidly that he had succumbed to pressures from the hospital’s management and resorted to unethical practices to meet the targets imposed on him.
Finally, Dr Mistry quit his job at the hospital and is now engaged in consultation only. “I am really frustrated. My knowledge and skills in angioplasty and in monitoring patients in the ICU are being wasted. I might get a 100 patients a day, but I am only giving consultation service. Nonetheless, I will adjust with this reality, rather than go back to unethical medical practice,” Gadre remembers Mistry telling him.
Another super-specialist Dr Gadre has interviewed for the book mentioned about a young doctor in his department who had been summoned by the CEO and warned that he will be shown the gate if his conversion rates, which were 10-15 percent, did not increase to meet the target of 40 percent. In other words, the young doctor, in order to keep his job, had to convince at least 4 out of every 10 patients who visited him for consultation to get admitted in the hospital.
"This young doctor will certainly surrender one day," the interviewee told Dr Gadre. "To survive professionally, he will start conducting or recommending additional procedures that are not required by medical logic. What choice does he have?"
The only choice that he possibly could have under the circumstances is to quit practice in the hospital, a choice that Dr Gadre had been forced to make himself. But where does that leave us? In a healthcare system dominated by unethical doctors or one without any?

Sudarshan Chemical back on the radar of institutional investors
Existing capacity utilisation is north of 70 per cent.
Sudarshan Chemical I...
ET Intelligence Group: The stock of Sudarshan Chemical Industries, India’s largest pigment producer, is back on the radar of institutional investors due to its high revenue visibility from ongoing capacity expansion for specialty products.
The stock rose 23 per cent in the past three months, an outperformance of 10 per cent to the BSE Midcap index in the same period. Its products are used in industries that make coatings, inks, plastics and cosmetics. In daily life, the pigments are used in the making of nail paints, skin creams, eye shadows, and pencils.
Pune-based Sudarshan is investing around Rs 300-320 crore in the current year and about Rs 200 crore next year to expand its capacities, which will rise 40-50 per cent in the next three to four years. Existing capacity utilisation is north of 70 per cent.
Global chemical companies such as Clariant and BASF are planning to exit the pigment business, which is worth around $10 billion. Of this, organic pigment where Sudarshan has greater presence accounts for half the total.
Sudarshan Chemical has 2 per cent global market revenue share of the global organics pigment market, according to the company’s annual report. The exit of global biggies will help the company improve market share.
It is increasing focus on the highmargin specialty pigment, the share of which has consistently risen the past five years. With the addition of new capacities, the proportion of the specialty business is likely to further improve.
Growth of the specialty chemical business of Sudarshan Chemical has outperformed the non-specialty business. Consequently, the company posted 12 per cent revenue growth annually in the last decade. This trend is likely to sustain, with the company adding 25-35 new products every year.
The total product portfolio has reached more than 400. Despite the industry appearing to be commoditized, given that every product is customized for every customer, it becomes an entry barrier for new players. In addition, costs are lower for the India-based manufacturer. The export share rose to 46 per cent in FY19 compared with 39 per cent in FY13 as its global reach spread to 85 countries.
The stock is trading at 21 times its one-year forward earnings, a premium of 50 per cent to the long-term average.

POSITION PREVIEW: DEFENSIVE BACKS
This is the fifth in a series of position group previews throughout Sacramento State training camp. To view all stories about the Hornets, select the "News" button at the top of the page.
SACRAMENTO STATE'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL KICKOFF IS COMING SOON
Get your 2019 college football season started the right way at Sacramento State's College Football Kickoff on Saturday, Aug. 24, at Hornet Stadium from 6-9 p.m.. The free, family-friendly event, will feature tailgate games, football drills, opportunities for pictures and autographs with Sacramento State coaches and players, and performances from the marching band, cheer and dance teams.
DEFENSIVE BACKS PREVIEW
The leading returning tackler on the team is senior Caelan Barnes who tallied 71 stops last season while starting all 10 games. Barnes was the starter at free safety in the first nine contests before shifting to cornerback for the finale. The senior was consistent throughout the season with at least three tackles in every game and five or more in nine contests.
Fellow senior Allen Perryman started the final four games at strong safety and could, once again, pair with Barnes to give Sacramento State a veteran presence in the middle of the field. Perryman set a career high with 38 tackles last season and also intercepted his first pass. His highlight came against North Dakota where he blocked a PAT attempt and returned it for the Hornets' first defensive two-point conversion since 1990.
Daron Bland started every game at cornerback last season and is the lone returning starter at the position. Bland had 44 total tackles and an interception a year ago on the gridiron. He's also a member of the Sacramento State track and field team where he qualified for the Big Sky Championships in the high jump and long jump.
Senior Dhaamir Lomax has battled injuries the past two seasons but is still the most experienced corner behind Bland. He will be joined by returners Justin McGill, Davion Ross and Isaiah Capoocia.
The newcomers at the position include transfers Isaiah Butler, Robert Lewis and Prince Washington. Butler played JC ball at Phoenix College and is the brother of former FCS All-American Emmanuel Butler. Lewis and Washington return to their home state after beginning their careers at Boise State and Wyoming, respectively. Butler and Lewis have both seen significant reps during camp and will contend for starting positions at cornerback.
A big boost to the secondary will come with the return of a healthy Marcus Bruce who is expected to start at nickelback. The senior redshirted last season but still managed to make 28 tackles in his four games. The prior season he was named third team all-Big Sky after tallying 57 tackles and leading the team with four fumble recoveries. Bruce will be backed up by sophomore Marte Mapu and freshman Josiah Jacobs.
The depth at safety could come from returners Malik Jeter, Abel Ordaz and Marcus Aponte as well as four newcomers. Jeter was credited with 21 total tackles last season while the other two primarily played on special teams.

suspect Indian cricket is becoming the latest member of a club that believes in a theory whichunless already named otherwisecan be called the Precipice Theory It is a club whose members will steadfastly refuse to see the obvious unless they are driven to a situation where no other option presents itself And so it is that the BCCI has now decided to ask Cricket Australia for another warm up game before the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne So you can seeas the optimists may well tell youthat something good can still come out of a resounding defeat And yetmake no mistakethe BCCI is made up of intelligent people That they should have so strongly refused to see what was best for Indias Test cricket team gives you an idea of priorities And the day the BCCI puts the quality of the national cricket team above everything elseIndia will give itself the chance of remaining either at the topor very close to it Good things do happen at the momentbut they do fairly sporadically For examplethere is a very good emerging players team playing in Australia but in spite of being world champions India have also allowed themselves to panic in team selection for the rest of this England tour I hope India dont have to reach the precipice in a few other very obvious matters The Ranji Trophy is one of those All logic would suggest that if the standard immediately below international cricket is highthe national team would automatically be strong And yet we wilfully dilute the quality of our first-class cricket Heres a quick parallel If India Cements (and I use the example only because Mr Srinivasan runs a very good company) has to make the best cementthey will do what it takes to source the best raw material and use the finest production process If they reduce the quality of their raw materialthey cannot consistently make the best cement even if the factories are very good Here is another business analogy (for producing a quality sports team is no different from manufacturing a fine product) Large multi-brand or multi-product corporationssay a Hindustan Unilever or a Procter and Gamble or evenin a manner of speakinga Larsen and Toubro or a Reliancehave a specific business plan for each brand There are larger commitmentsin terms of time and expenditure for exampleto larger brands but even the smallest brand has a plan attached to it A high profile football team or a cricket team too is a collection of brands each of which must have a caretaker and a plan I am sure that Alex Ferguson has a plan put together for each of his top twenty or twenty two players It might be different for a Rooney or a Ferdinand or a Giggs as indeed it would be for a Young or a Smalling And so too I would like to see specific dossiers put together for the top twenty five Indian cricketers It would almost be like a medical file with a history and a current diagnosis but most importanta plan to get the best out of each of them A dossier on Virat Kohli or

Laois man instrumental in creation of 50 jobs for Portarlington through connections with US company – Magni Group
Posted by admin on July 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment
A Portarlington man has been instrumental in the decision of a US company, The Magni Group, to set up an automotive coatings manufacturing and R&D facility in Portarlington, Co Laois.
The move will see The Magni Group create 50 jobs in the town in a multi-million euro investment over the next five years. The ‘Connector’ Kieran Leavy will in turn receive a financial reward from the Irish Government of €75,000 or €1,500 per job created for making the connection.
Kieran Leavy operates a security company in Portarlington and met the company directors socially in Dublin some years ago. He kept in touch and when he heard that they were in expansion mode he suggested that Ireland was a great place to do business. He also contacted ConnectIreland having already registered as a ‘Connector’ at the GAA Annual Congress where ConnectIreland had a stand.
The company spoke with ConnectIreland’s FDI team, and following extensive negotiations and a number of site visits, The Magni Group decided that Portarlington was right for their business.
Kieran was pivotal to the decision to establish their operations in Portarlington and he says:
“They were initially considering the Czech Republic but having spoken with ConnectIreland and visiting the area, they were impressed by what they saw and heard. They love Ireland and it ticks all the boxes for what they need for their business.”
Kieran’s involvement in the GAA also played a role in his introduction to ConnectIreland and subsequently in the company’s decision to choose Ireland. Paraic Duffy, Director General of the GAA says:
“We were delighted to hear that a GAA event was central to a connection that has led to the creation of jobs in Portarlington. I know the GAA is very close to Kieran’s heart and it was fitting that it was at the GAA Annual Congress that he was introduced to ConnectIreland. This programme gave him an avenue for his connection, which in turn created 50 jobs for his hometown.”
The Magni Group is the global leader in corrosion resistant, automotive coatings and currently has 23 locations in eight different countries, all of which will be supported by the new Irish manufacturing facility. Clients already on their books include General Motors and Ford, while new specifications at Toyota and Volkswagen are expected to dramatically grow The Magni Group.
ConnectIreland is an incentivised referral programme which is managed by IDA Ireland. Under this programme, anybody can refer a company to www.connectireland.com and, if successful, the person will receive a significant financial reward based on the number of jobs created.
Since ConnectIreland was launched just 16 months ago, over 8,000 people at home and abroad have registered as ‘Connectors’ i.e. have signed up to actively seek out companies that might invest in job creation ventures in Ireland. Over 700 companies were suggested to ConnectIreland and, currently, the company is in active discussions with over 50 companies that are seriously considering Ireland as a location for their European operations.
About Magni
The Magni Group is the global leader in corrosion resistant, automotive coatings. Virtually every automobile assembled around the world uses the Magni Groups’ coatings. The Magni Group currently has 23 locations located within 8 countries. North America and Europe are the largest markets but China and the Far East are also increasing. Magni Group is proposing to build a custom designed 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility that can easily be expanded to 80,000 square feet within the next 5 years in Portarlington, Co Laois. Magni Group also has plans to expand its research capabilities by installing a state of the art quality and research laboratory. The laboratory will be outfitted with the most up to date analytical equipment and will staff numerous scientists. The Magni Group is committed to innovation and the new laboratory will work directly with both the US and German R&D laboratories. It has its US HQ in Mitchigan, USA and the Irish facility is to be the new European centre for the company. See www.themagnigroup.com.
About ConnectIreland:
ConnectIreland is an innovative way to create new jobs in Ireland by harnessing the power of the global Diaspora – at home and abroad. The mission is to attract foreign companies that are expanding internationally to Ireland through ordinary people – creating jobs and securing the future of the Irish economy. The Irish Government will financially reward those who attract new, sustainable jobs into the country. The objective of the initiative, part of the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs, is to bring 5,000 new jobs to Ireland within the next five years under the Irish government’s Succeed In Ireland Initiative. This initiative is managed by IDA Ireland and implemented by ConnectIreland. See www.connectireland.com for more details.

Protecting Future Generations By Protecting Air, Water & Wildlife
CHERRY VALLEY AND KITTATINNY RIDGE
It is easy to forget in these troubled times that government can help good people do good things. This post is predicated on that notion, and includes the tales of two personal odysseys with government-assisted happy endings some 35 years apart that I would like to share in this Thanksgiving season.
The first odyssey began back in the early 1970s. I was riding my bicycle into the White Clay Creek Valley, a pristine area in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware containing a diverse and unique range of plant and animal species.
The lower end of the 1,400-acre valley, most of which was owned by the chemical giant Du Pont Company, included a smattering of houses, some of them humble and some historic.
Where there had been a bungalow and detached garage only a few days earlier was a freshly seeded grassy area. There was no trace of the structures. I explored further and found to my horror that other houses, including a magnificent late-18th century farmhouse surrounded by immense sycamore trees, also had disappeared. The arc of sycamores was still there, but only freshly-seeded grass where the house had been.
When asked about these disappearances, a Du Pont spokesmouth explained that the company's insurance company had declared the houses as potentially dangerous, so they had been razed. Bullshit. The real reason was that Du Pont intended to dam the White Clay and flood the valley so it could draw water for a proposed textile manufacturing plant, and that effort would be advanced by surreptitiously making the houses disappear.
Long story short, the alarm was sounded, and through a coalition of environmentalists and sportsmen, Du Pont's plans not only were thwarted, but the pro-dam Republican-led county government in northern Delaware was ousted and a slate of anti-dam Democrats elected. (A young county councilman by the name of Joe Biden rode the anti-incumbent wave to a U.S. Senate seat.)
Du Pont backed down and in 1984 ceded to the states its holdings in the valley, including the 275-year-old house (photo above) in which I lived at the time. With a big assist from Congress, the White Clay Creek Preserve was created to protect this extraordinary ecosystem in perpetuity.
Fast forward to the here and now and Cherry Valley, a 31,000-acre set of interlocking ecosystems on the eastern edge of the Poconos region of northeastern Pennsylvania. While most of the Poconos have been gang raped by developers, some of whom were players in the early wave of predatory lending and sub-prime mortgage scams that have helped lead to the ongoing national economic collapse, the valley is substantially undeveloped.
It is a mosaic of dairy farms, trout hatcheries, a tree farm, vinyard, quarries and a smattering of homes (including the Dear Friend & Conscience's pad, which doubles as the Kiko's House mountain hideaway). Its topographically and geographically unique ecosystems contain no fewer than five threatened or endangered species and over 30 species whose status also is of special concern. The quality of the groundwater is excellent.
Cherry Valley falls within the physiographic Appalachian Ridge and Valley province, which is characterized by long, parallel, sharp-crested ridges separated by narrow valleys. (See sidebar below for the geological and early political history of the Poconos.)
Elevations range from 300 feet in valley bottoms to 1,600 feet along the top of the Kittatinny Ridge.
The Kittatinny is the most active raptor and songbird migration corridor in the northeastern U.S. and one of the leading such sites in the world with more than 140 bird species regularly recorded during the fall migration, including a few who find their way down to the DF&C's bird feeders. Its other claim to fame is that atop the ridgeline runs the 2,173-mile-long Appalachian Trail, which begins in northern Georgia and ends at Maine's Mt. Katahdin at the border with Canada. (Or the other way around depending upon one's starting point.)
Cherry Valley has escaped wholesale development through a combination of circumstances and the determination of residents still bitter over the Tocks Island debacle and alarmed at runaway development elsewhere in the Poconos that has decimated other habitats and led to unchecked growth.
The circumstances are the combination of multi-generational dairy farms along the valley floor that are more or less the glue that holds the valley together and their environmentally aware neighbors. Their determination is seen in the coalition of area residents and organizations, including the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, Lehigh Valley Audubon Society, Lenape tribe, Nature Conservancy and Pocono Heritage Land Trust, who have protected the valley for generations and eventually prevailed upon county and local governments, as well as tourism and builders associations, to support creation of the Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
After several rounds of public hearings, the refuge is almost a reality. Support is so overwhelming that it is possible that the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can make that so with a flick of a pen and will not even need an act of Congress.
State, county and local open space monies are exhausted, and staffing the refugee cannot be a priority in the midst of a recession, but no matter.
There is no turning back and the hopes and dreams of those of us who see this crazy quilt of ridges, pine barrens, fens, kettle hole bogs, caves and pastures as a precious gift to future generations are finally about to be realized.
Among the hundreds of plant and animal species in the proposed Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refugee are several that are endangered or otherwise threatened. They include, from top to bottom, the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii), Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), Northeastern bulrush (Scirpus ancistrochaetus), American eel (Anguilla rostrata), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), and bald eagle (Aliaeetus leucocephalus).

THE IRELAND TRIP
Ireland Knickerbiker Cycling-Dublin to Shannon-June 19-29,2000 (by Jim Willis)
Nick Nicholson(trip leader), Cheryl Willis-Nourizadeh, and Jim Willis caught the 41 bus at noon from the Dublin airport to our B&B on Griffith Street. An elderly gentleman in a coat and tie and a nice hat got on the bus with a big smile and sat near us. We asked him where to get off and all he could do was smile. Was he hard of hearing? We asked again and then asked someone else who pointed out that the man had been in the pub all morning so all he could do was smile. That was our introduction to Ireland. Our first tour that day was to visit the Guinness factory.
Rental bikes arrived with all kinds of problems--broken water rack, two pumps for all of us, handle bar extensions that bags would not fit, and badly out of tune. It was a good thing we knew how to fix all of that. Bill Haworth, Sylvia Nielsen, Merle Vogel, and Susan Noblin arrived the next day with their own bikes, and Rita Cohen and Walter Schmitt showed up too. We enjoyed Saturday evening at a pub for dinner and great Irish live music in the very busy and fun Temple Bar area.
After touring Dublin on Sunday, we went to dinner at a pub near our B&B and then made a final pub visit that evening. At 9:00 pm all of the locals in Ireland meet at their favorite pub. That is life of the Irish.
We left Dublin on our bikes early Monday the 19th to pedal as a group through the city. It was very uncomfortable because of the very narrow streets and loads of traffic and no room for bikes., This kept up all through Greystone where it finally became country. We arrived in Wicklow after a 38.5-mile ride. The day was beautiful with short sleeve weather. The next day we headed for Wexford. It was a windy, rainy tough day. The country was beautiful, but with some hills and 20-mile headwinds, it was slow going. We pedaled 53.8 miles and our average speed was only 5.8 mph so we were in the saddle for nine and a half hours. O’Grady’s B&B was in an old historic building. Mary O’Grady was a beautiful young red-haired Irish innkeeper with an architect husband and two young kids. The best places to eat were pubs. They had very good food; at lunch a bowl of soup and ration of bread really hit the spot. Since we had everything in panniers, we did our laundry often. We got used to seeing each other and recognizing them for what they were wearing.
Nick had us scheduled to catch the train the next morning to Waterford, visit the Waterford factory and then ride on to Dungarvin. The trouble was that the train left at 7:00 am and we had to ride an hour to catch it. So five of us hired a big van to take us to Waterville. The other four (Merle, Susan, Bill and Sylvia) decided to ride all the way. The distance was not bad, but with the winds, and the hills, it was a long day. They took the road along the coast and did not arrive at our B&B in Dungarvin until 9:05 pm. The rest of us spent the morning at the Waterford factory, a very interesting visit. But we had another heavy wind in the afternoon. Cheryl was tired and found a bus to catch to get her to Dungarvin. All buses seem to have a big space for bicycles, so you put your bike in the bike area and take it off when you arrive. It is a very neat system. I was beat and had a broken spoke before Dungarvin, so Nick rode ahead and got a bike shop to stay open. I got there about 7:00 pm. I inquired about the location of the B&B. The bikeman looked at me and said it was about 5 miles on the other side of town and at the top of the hill. How discouraging. It was a real hill all five miles. The closest Pub was several miles away. The innkeeper took five of us in her car to dinner and the tiny car was big enough for about three people. The four who arrived late got the same treatment. It was only Wednesday, but at 9:00 the pub quickly filled with the local Irish who hadn’t seen their friends since the night before.
Thursday morning was rainy, windy and cold. We found that it was helpful to ride in a paceline even though we did not travel very fast. We were on our way to Blarney and would take a day off. Cheryl and Rita took a bus to Cork and then rode up to Blarney. All of the cities are very interesting. They are similar, with old buildings, narrow streets and tons of traffic. Cork is special since it was once like Venice with water canals. They have long since been drained and the river flows down both sides of the town. We stopped at Youghal for coffee on our way to Cork and Blarney. They have wonderful pastries. We again ate at a pub for lunch and either had soup or Irish stew.
The hills are green and the many pastures all set off like patterned quilts. There are a multitude of flowers in bloom and the moisture keeps everything green. So what do you think Ireland smells like? Yes, you are right: sheep, cow, or horse manure, but we were not able to distinguish which. We got to Blarney after 53 miles and an average of about 9 mph. That was ok. Bill had picked up a bad stomach and was miserable, but rode all the way.
In Blarney we visited the Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. We have photos if anyone cares to see how to do that. Then we split up and went back to Cork. There is not much in Blarney. In Cork, I contemplated renting a car to finish the ride, but that wouldn’t be fair and I would not want my friends to think I was a wimp. But I told myself that if the weather continued I would try the wimp pace. Fortunately, the wind stopped and the rest of the trip was very nice. Rita left our ride to meet her son in Dublin. The trains were on strike, so she took the bus.
Saturday we left for Killarney. Cheryl and I rode to Macroom. She was stressed, so we rode on a bus the rest of the way to Killarney. On the way through Macroom we caught up to the other six. We saw them riding in a line of cars on a very narrow street. The only thing good was that traffic was moving so slowly they could ride along with the flow and not be in anyone’sway. Cheryl, Walter and I walked to the local golf club to have dinner. It was 9:00 and they were still playing golf. And after that, the 19th hole was like any other pub. The others rode their bikes to town to have dinner.
Sunday we rode to Waterville around the West side of the Ring of Kerry. What a spectacular day this day was. There were quite a few hills and the total climb was 3770 ft. It was sunny and no wind. We went through places like Muckross, Moss Gap, and Sneem. Cheryl and I rode ahead and the rest caught up about 9 miles from Waterville. Waterville is on the South Side of the Ring of Kerry. Shortly after that, Bill had a blowout that ruined his tube and tire. We went ahead up the hill before dropping into Waterville. The view was special, with patchwork fields of green, brown, and gold, dotted with white specks (sheep), and with rock fences as the stitching for the quilt. The Ocean lay beyond. Merle went back to see if he could help, since he was carrying an extra tire. His return required an uphill effort. We arrived at B&B about 7:00 showered and then walked to Charlie’s Pub for dinner. The food was excellent.
Monday we pedaled to Tralee, where we had coffee and Scones in Kilorglin. That finished the Ring of Kerry. This part is not as pretty as the other side, but it was nice. In Castlemaine, Nick and I stopped at Griffins Pub. A friend of the man that owns the Blarney Stone Pub in San Diego, Jim Foley, owns it. Nick is a friend of Jim’s so it was fun. Generally our group broke into small groups to ride and sometimes we were together. In Tralee our B&B was outside of town so we rode our bikes to dinner. It does not get dark until after 10:00 pm so lights were not needed. Tuesday started with a typical Irish breakfast. This included, bacon, sausage, eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, bread, cereal and sometimes a little fruit. Coffee, tea or milk were included so you could eat all you wanted. Adare was 54 miles away, and it was a nice short-sleeve day. Just before we got out of town, Nick had a broken spoke. We rode all over trying to find a bike shop. When we did it was about a block from where it broke. You should have seen the shop. It had 500 old bikes piled up that Jerry was supposed to fix or was saving for parts. What a mess, but he knew how to fix a spoke, although we had to loan him our spoke wrench. Nick and I stopped in Athea for lunch at a Pub. As we were leaving, the Pub started to fill up. Why was that? There had been a funeral and this was the place where all were meeting afterwards. It was sort of a potluck party. Social life really revolves around the Pubs in Ireland. Outside of Adare the road narrows and the traffic is unpleasant. We made it without mishap. Cheryl and I went to the Collins Pub after dinner to hear local Irish Music. They are a fun people.
Our last day riding was to Bunratty. We had breakfast and took a lot of group photos. We went through Limerick where the bikes had been rented. Limerick is the setting for “Angela’s Ashes.” We visited King Johns’s Castle and saw the Shannon River. I ran over a good sized nail and had my first flat with only a few miles to go. We stayed in two B&B’s in Bunratty. This one was the only one not so good and had an especially crabby landlady. The other was very nice. Our biking trip ended here after riding over 400 miles. That night we went to the famous banquet at the Bunratty Castle. You start with wine in one of the chambers and then proceed to the dinning chamber. The chambermaids and lads also take part in the singing that follows. It was fun and a special evening. We ate with our fingers and drank soup from a bowl.
We stayed in Bunratty an extra night as most of the flights left the next day. One slight foul up had Bill and Sylvia leaving on July 29 instead of June 29. They were able to change that, but could not ride home together.
This was a very special trip. Our trip leader, Nick Nicholson, did a super job in planning. The ride was not the easiest, but it was wonderful with a special group of biking friends. Nick kept telling us, “I shouldn’t eat this because Rhonwyn would not approve.” That did not apply to beer of any type, however.
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back,
may the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall softly on your fields,
and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

18 – 21 SEPTEMBER PRESS RELEASE
Dear media partners, dear colleagues,
We are pleased to have an answer to the question most frequently asked "Who will be present at this year's Reeperbahn Festival?": Here are 50 bands and artists we have just confirmed!
Frehn Hawel
Hamburg, 16 April 2019
After publishing the Reeperbahn Festival concerts at the Elbphilharmonie of Lisa Morgenstern (DE), Anna Ternheim vs. Kaiser Quartett (SE/DE) and Efterklang (DK) in January, we are now presenting the next set of names of the approximately 600 concerts of the 2019 Reeperbahn Festival.
Nobody gets better to the heart of the young generation's frustration than "Chief Complainer" Jason Williamson and his companion Andrew Fearn. Furious comments on current events, paired with rough beats and sounds make Sleaford Mods (GB) one of the most important bands of today.
Mighty Oaks (DE) are definitely more harmonic; their graceful indie folk hymns with their vocal harmonies for three voices are meanwhile thrilling an international fan community and will fascinate the Reeperbahn Festival guests at St. Michaelis church in September.
When you listen to MANTAR (DE) and their compact wall of condensed guitar sounds, drums and infernal shouting, it is not surprising that it only takes two people to stage one of the most intense live performances of the current music scene.
The music presented by the The Subways trio (GB) is also rather noisy but clearly funkier, spreading great joy at being reunited with their legendary indie hits such as "Rock & Roll Queen". As an eloquent representative of the people of her homeland the Sahara desert Aziza Brahim (DZ) (photo) with her powerful voice and her virtuous band will bring her inimitably warm and poetic sound to the Reeperbahn.
Not long ago, the Cologne-based songwriter ELI (DE) was still a street musician. Meanwhile, his pop enthuses people at festivals all over Europe thanks to his hit single "Change Your Mind".
We Were Promised Jetpacks (GB) from rainy Scotland are a band who have been very successful for years with their sound ranging between indie pop and post punk; with their current fantastic album "The More I Sleep The Less I Dream" they cover the melancholic end of the musical scale which they will present at Reeperbahn Festival.
Also confirmed: ClickClickDecker (DE), Algiers (US), The Japanese House (GB), Dagobert (CH, DE), Georgia (GB), Say Yes Dog (LU), The Intersphere (DE), Sam Vance-Law (CA, DE), Donna Missal (US), Kaiser Quartett (DE), Joey Bargeld (DE), Carlos Cipa (DE), Alli Neumann (DE), Bibi Ahmed & Group Inerane (NE), Ishmael Ensemble (GB), Thorsteinn Einarsson (AT, IS), BAD CHILD (CA), SASAMI (US), My Ugly Clementine (AT), Sports Team (GB), FARAI (GB), JNR WILLIAMS (GB), Hällas (SE), Alexandra Streliski (CA), Sophie and the Giants (GB), 5K HD (AT), Culk (AT), TUSKS (GB), Whispering Sons (BE), You Am I (AU), Moyka (NO), The Stroppies (AU), Olympia (AU), Trudy & The Romance (GB), Foreign Diplomats (CA), DZ Deathrays (AU), Axel Flóvent (IS), The Rubens (AU), Belle Mt (GB), Frankie and the Witch Fingers (US), BILK (GB), IDA MAE (GB), PLANET (AU).
The Reeperbahn Festival is organised by Reeperbahn Festival GbR
and Inferno Events GmbH & Co. KG.
Neuer Pferdemarkt 1, 20359 Hamburg

PhG Reeperbahn Festival GbR: Inferno Events GmbH & Co. KG und Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion GmbH;

- a brand new multilingual MOOC Platform for Europe: 12 leading universities and companies in 8 European countries announced the launch today of the new EMMA project which will provide access to MOOCs in different languages and supported by automatic transcription.
Visit the EMMA website at www.europeanmoocs.eu
The first EMMA MOOCs will go live in September 2014 and are provided by universities in Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK on subjects as diverse as Business Management, Social Innovation and Cultural Heritage, Climate Change and Searching on the Internet.
Announcing the launch of EMMA today, the project coordinator Rosanna De Rosa said "EMMA provides an exciting opportunity for both students and MOOC providers in Europe to benefit from a simple user-friendly platform that provides unique multilingual access to MOOCs - we are looking forward to rolling out this service in the coming 6 months".
EMMA will operate in two main modes: as an aggregator and hosting system of courses produced by European universities and as a system that enables learners to construct their own learning paths using units from MOOCs as building blocks. Once operational, EMMA will be open for other providers who wish to make their MOOCs available in multiple languages and across borders.
Pilots will run in 7 countries with a total of 16 MOOCs and will involve at least 60,000 participants.
EMMA is a 30 month pilot action supported by the European Union. EMMA will showcase excellence in innovative teaching methodologies and learning approaches and will offer free, open, online courses in multiple languages from different European universities to help preserve Europe's rich cultural, educational and linguistic heritage and to promote cross-cultural and multi-lingual learning.

pl: Aleksander Orłowski
[09.03.1777 Warsaw - 01/13?.03.1832 St. Petersburg]
He was born as a son of a inn holder, who came from a poor noble family. According to the eighteen century salon legend he was discovered by the Czartoryski family during their stay in his father's inn near Siedlce. Never mind the details, he was given under the care of Jean Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine polonised French court painter of Czartoryskis prince family.
It seems that Norblin had deciding influence on Orlowski's artwork.
Orlowski fought as a volunteer in Kosciuszko's Insurrection and was hurt during one of the battles, after Kosciuszko's lost he found a protector in the person of prince Jozef Poniatowski, kings Stanislaus Augustus nephew, future marshal of Napoleon's army. In Poniatowski's palace in Warsaw he used to entertain prince's guests by paining their quick portraits or by drawing sketch illustrations to the topics of their chats. This not really artistically improving role seemed to not satisfy Orlowski.

Phantomaton
Unai Miquelajauregui
A participatory film installation in a photo-booth
Phantomaton is a user-dependent, responsive, 3-channel-video installation that generates composite video shots of its spectators placing them in urban landscapes. Embodying the intimate space of a photo-booth, the installation addresses the tension between authorship and spectatorship in regards to the aesthetic creation around the moving image. It works as a cinematic device that requires the audience’s participation in order to function.
By approaching the spectator as the subject of an emergent narrative, Phantomaton offers the viewer with scenes of a movie that is constructed only as it is watched. By doing so, the participatory films installation creates virtual interpersonal relationships in different cities of the continent, while opening up the possibility of an encoutner.
This cinematic apparatus creates an accumulative record of human presence, producing an archive of spectators-users who are placed as actors on the screen. The images produced by it become the vessel that mediates possible human relationships that occur in various parts of different cities. By revealing the mechanisms of the composite moving image it leads the audience in the path to become consciously critical observers.
Equipped with a computer, a 21-inch Apple Cinema Display, a high-definition camera, internal lights and speakers; Phantomaton uses the viewers’ own faces as images to create an archive of human presence in a computer’s database.

Bumgarner aims to deal Nationals out of postseason
Follow @csnbaggs
SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants have advanced in all seven postseason series they have played over the past five years, if you include their wild card survival in Pittsburgh.
On six of those occasions, they didn’t need to steam clean the home clubhouse.
Other than their clinching victory in the rain over the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2012 NLCS, the Giants have done all their celebrating on the road – from Turner Field to Citizens Bank Park to the Ballpark in Arlington to Great American Ball Park to Comerica Park.
They’ve got two shots to take down the Washington Nationals here in front of their home crowd, and they just assume they'll get it done behind their ace in Game 3 Monday night.
[RELATED: Rewind: Giants on verge of sweep after MLB's longest playoff game]
“We’ve been in their spot, and we’ve come through the other side,” said Madison Bumgarner, of the 2012 team that won three consecutive elimination games at Cincinnati to win a best-of-5 series. “So we’ve got to maintain what we’re doing and just stay hungry.”
Even in the weary aftermath of Saturday’s 18-inning victory in Game 2, the longest postseason game in major league history, Tim Hudson reminded that his A’s won the first two games at Yankee Stadium, failed twice to close out the series at home, and then got bounced when they returned to the Bronx for a deciding Game 7.
[RECAP: Belt homers in 18th, Giants lead NLDS 2-0]
This is Hudson’s seventh time participating in a Division Series. He’s never made it past the best-of-5 round.
If the Nationals can get to Bumgarner, who is coming off a four-hit shutout in the NL Wild Card game at Pittsburgh, it’s likely to happen fast. The left-hander bristled a bit when asked about his first-half struggles, but the numbers don’t lie. He has a 5.73 ERA in the first inning and a 2.49 ERA after that. His home run rate is almost four times higher (eight allowed, or 2.2 HR/9 IP,) in the first inning than it is after that (13 allowed, or 0.6 HR/9 IP). His walk rate is doubled in the first inning, too (3.3 BB/9 IP, compared to 1.51 BB/9 IP).
[BAGGS: Rewind: Quiet riot from Crawford, Bumgarner fuels Giants]
And it’s at home, where he had a 4.03 ERA in 15 starts, where the first-inning troubles were most pronounced. Bumgarner shrugs it off as a coincidence but something is at work here, whether it’s the mound or the weather or some other factor.
“Whatever it is, it’s the same mentality,” he said.
Bumgarner won’t change that mentality just because the Giants are up 2-0 in the series. If the Nationals can see their way to a Game 4, they’ll throw their only left-hander, Gio Gonzalez – and the Giants were a game under .500 against left-handed starters this season. A win for the Nationals in Game 3 would mean more than showing some spunk. It would get them back in the series.
“These guys have played well for a long time and they’re on quite a roll,” said Doug Fister, who will reprise his 2012 World Series Game 2 matchup with Bumgarner when he opposes him on Monday. “At the same time, we’ve been backed into a corner before and that can only help us here down 0-2.”
The Giants know to expect Fister to be tough. Although they took a 2-0 victory over he and the Tigers in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series, the 30-year-old Merced native had allowed just four singles and was taken out of a scoreless game in the seventh after a leadoff hit. It took Brandon Crawford’s double-play grounder to push across the only run charged to him.
Most memorably, Fister stayed in the game after getting hit on the head by Gregor Blanco’s line drive in the second inning.
“I’ve seen the video many a time, I remember it very vividly,” Fister said. “It’s not something that gives me chills or anything else. I’ve gone back and looked at it to know, 'Hey I’m OK, I was blessed that day to not have to come out of the game.' It doesn’t change how I pitch, doesn’t change how I play defense or anything else.”
Said Bumgarner: “I was kind of shocked he stayed in. I’m sure their training staff watched him carefully. I’m glad to see he was OK after it, but there’s not a whole lot of guys who would want to stay in. So that tells you about his character and competitiveness.”
Fister said he plans to come out in attack mode, throwing strikes and involving the defense – and pitching carefully to Bumgarner, who owns two grand slams this season.
The sellout crowd at Third and King would love to see another one of those. Mostly, though, the fans just want to celebrate a clinching victory. And Bumgarner, between besting Fister two years ago and blanking the Pirates last week, enters with a string of 16 consecutive shutout innings in the postseason.
“I really like our chances with the way we play baseball in October,” Bumgarner said. “It’s been really special and … we’re in a good spot now, but we’ve got to press forward and can’t lose any focus.”

‘The Network Shed’ opens in Magherafelt
Our new facility to help unemployed people locally to develop their occupational skills and for their personal development has opened at Rainey Street, Magherafelt.
Based around the concept of the Men’s Shed, the Network Shed is open to both males and females to allow them to gain hands-on skills and experience in a relaxed environment rather than a formal classroom setting. The Shed which has been developed for participants on our employability programmes will be ‘user-led’, in that users will determine what activities and workshops they would like to see available at the Shed.
A wide variety of activities will be available including crafts, basic construction skills and personal development courses. The facility will also be the venue for a series of speakers who will provide information on a range of topics such as alternative therapies, cookery demonstrations and stress management.
Commenting at the official opening of The Network Shed, Laurence O’Kane, Chairman of The Workspace Group said ‘The Network Shed is a very innovative project which can have a real positive benefit for unemployed people in the local area. The response to date from users has been excellent and it is already impacting positively on the user’s employability’.
For further information about our Shed contact Niamh Jones on 028 7963 1032 or via email niamh.jones@networkpersonnel.org.uk.

Robert McGinty, MD, PhD, an assistant professor in the division of chemical biology and medicinal chemistry at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy with a joint appointment in the department of biochemistry and biophysics in the UNC School of Medicine, has been selected as a 2017 Searle Scholar. He is the first Searle Scholar named at the University of North Carolina in the past 10 years.

The Searle Scholars Program named 15 scientists as Searle Scholars for 2017. Recipients are awarded $300,000 in flexible funding to support their work over the next three years.
The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected universities and research centers to support the independent research of exceptional young faculty in the biomedical sciences and chemistry who have recently been appointed as assistant professors on a tenure-track appointment. An advisory board of eminent scientists chooses the scholars based on rigorous standards to find the most creative talent pursuing an academic research career. This year, 196 applications were considered from nominations by 143 universities and research institutions.
McGinty studies the mechanisms governing epigenetic signaling at the nucleosome and chromatin levels. Nucleosomes are a basic unit of DNA packaging in cells, and nucleosomes form chromatin, the material that makes up chromosomes. He uses protein chemistry to reconstitute “designer” nucleosomes and chromatin containing defined patterns of post-translational modifications.
When paired with structural biology, including X-ray crystallography and single particle cryo-EM, McGinty is able to explore the mechanisms governing specific epigenetic signaling pathways at atomic resolution. Epigenetic pathways allow an organism to develop many different types of cells with identical DNA sequences using heritable information not encoded in the DNA itself. These epigenetic pathways are commonly disrupted in cancer and other diseases. In the School’s Center for Integrative Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, he plans to leverage his structural studies toward the design of small molecules to manipulate chromatin-signaling pathways for basic research and therapeutic goals.
McGinty joined UNC-Chapel Hill as assistant professor in July 2016. He received his MD from Weill Cornell Medical College and PhD from Rockefeller University in New York City, and carried out postdoctoral research at Pennsylvania State University. McGinty is the associate director of structural biology in the Center for Integrative Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, an associate member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
“The new class of Searle Scholars is truly outstanding. Our scientific advisory board members remarked that the selection process this year was the most difficult ever because there were so many meritorious applicants,” said Douglas Fambrough, PhD, scientific director of the Searle Scholars Program. “The new scholars are pursuing fundamental research in chemistry and the biomedical sciences — from determining molecular structures to working out the neuronal circuitry underlying various behaviors. All of these scholars have chosen to take on risky projects that, if successful, will have great impact upon their fields and, in many cases, contribute directly to the betterment of human health.”
Since 1981, 587 scientists have been named Searle Scholars. Including this year, the program has awarded more than $129 million.

2nd Theja Football Tournament begins
Morung Exclusive
Submitted by Samuel Seb Rengma on 3 December 2019
Easterine Kire
Dimapur | December 2
Hectic last-minute preparations marked the opening of the second Theja Football Tournament on the December 2 at Lengrijan, Dimapur.
The tournament was inaugurated by Otto K Yepthomi, IRS Assistant Commissioner, Directorate General of GST Intelligence, an avid former sportsperson.
The football tournament started as a project of the Grace Covenant Church to provide an opportunity to its younger members who love sports but rarely get the chance to participate in tournaments. Lengrijan is on the Assam-Nagaland border and the population comprises a sampling of many communities: Assamese, Bengali, Nepali and mixed Naga tribes make up the majority of the households in the area. “
“Lengrijan is a forgotten place and people ask why we are not holding it in a more prominent place,” the organisers explained, adding that “our whole aim is to encourage this particular community and its members to live healthy.”
“Most of the teams that are participating are made up of mixed groups. We want our children to grow up with a sense of inclusiveness.”
Players and teams from different religions have been welcomed to join the tournament. There is a Nepali football team and a Tibetan football team but the Tibet team may not be participating this year.
In all, the tournament has as many as 12 teams vying for the first prize of Rs 30,000 rupees. Besides the usual prizes for best disciplined team, and highest scorer, they have an additional prize for the most promising player. All the prizes have the object of encouraging and inspiring the young players and teams.
On the opening day, a team comprising young Manipuri workers from the Network counter in Dimapur, participated in a highly exciting match. The other teams came from different churches and colleges in Dimapur.
“We have no sponsors. Everything is done by free will and the tournament was organised as a project to give a healthy activity to the youngsters in the community so that they have an alternative to addictive video games and phone games in the healthy sport of football,” explained Pastor Grace Savino, one of the organisers. “The girls are equally interested in playing, and in the future, the church hopes to provide opportunities for women’s football as well,” she added.
‘Theja’ means ‘blessing’ and the Theja football tournament intends to carry out the goal of being a blessing to the community. The tournament will conclude on the December 5.

Name Statement
Implication if p, then q
Converse if q, then p
Inverse if not p, then not q
Contrapositive if not q, then not p
Let's consider an example. Take two statements:
p = Manchester United won every game of the season
q = Manchester United won the league
p implies q -- if MU won every game of the season, then they will definitely have won the league. Is the converse true - i.e. does q imply p? In other words, if MU won the league, does it imply that they won every game? Is this true -- No! What about the inverse statement? In other words, if MU have not won every game of the season, then they have not won the league? Is this true -- not necessarily! Finally, let's consider the contrapositive: If MU haven't won the league, then they haven't won every game of the season. Is this statement true -- Yes!
How do we establish that the contrapositive is equivalent to the original statement in all cases? One way is using a truth table:
p q
p => q
q => p
!p => !q
!q => !p

Fire in the hole!
Art & Wonderboxes
Unveiling the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine at the Mill Valley Library
Last month, we unveiled our ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine exhibit at the Mill Valley Library, and we hosted a range of events and workshops about art and technology, described below.
The ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine Exhibit
The ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine is a community-created poetic oracle that invites you to face mysterious ‘cabinets of curiosity,’ ask about your future and get words of wisdom. Open one of twenty “wonderboxes” for more inspiration: each box is a portal to another world, sparkling with lights, plays sounds, or spins surreal objects. This collaborative art project inspired by the maker culture, combinatorial poetics — and ‘Pataphysics, the “science of imaginary solutions.”
Hundreds of visitors came to see this fun and educational combination of art and technology. They seemed to really enjoy this magical experience — and their faces tell the whole story in this photo album! We were on hand to demo the exhibit and share what we learned building it.
Here’s just some of the feedback we’ve received from our guests:
“Very magical! See your future in lights!”
“Mesmerizing and inspiring.”
“This was the coolest thing ever.”
“This is enlightening — as in ‘lighten up’ … What fun!”
“Thank you Ubu! Thank you pataphysicians!”
Based on all this positive feedback, we are now looking for a new home for the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine, where it could be available to the public on a long-term basis. If you know a local venue that you think would be interested in hosting us in 2016, please email us at info@pataphysics.us .
We also hosted some fun educational programs this month, to complement the art exhibit. Check out the photos and videos of these uplifting events.
Unveiling the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine
The ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine was unveiled at the Mill Valley Library’s popular First Friday event on October 2: it was a full house, attended by hundreds of local community members, friends and neighbors. Our team at ‘Pataphysical Studios gave what a friend called “the father of all demos”, including a project history, live interactions and artist stories — and a bit of theater. We all had a blast and the audience seemed completely engaged: thanks to all of you who joined us for this memorable occasion! Check out this photo album, as well as this first video of the full 90 minute presentation, with unedited footage from just one of our video cameras (other camera angles can be found here).
Pataphysics and the Real Alfred Jarry
On October 15, we hosted an art lecture and group discussion on french poet Alfred Jarry, the founder of ‘Pataphysics — the art movement that inspired surrealism and dadaism. Check out the photo album and this first video.
Create Your Own Art Wonderbox Workshop
On October 17, we hosted this 2-hour workshop, to show kids ages 8-12 (and their parents) how to make their own art ‘wonderbox’ — using simple electronics to bring characters to life with sound, lights and motion. Check out this video and our photo album, as well as these workshop instructions.
Arduino 101 Workshop
On October 24, we hosted this 3-hour workshop, to show adults and teens how to build simple interactive systems with the popular Arduino platform. They learned to make lights blink, motors move, and sounds play. Check out the photo album for this workshop, as well as this online guide.

Murder Obsession (1981)
Author: Brett Gallman
Submitted by: Brett Gallman Date : 2011-12-12 02:29
{_BLOCK_.MAIN.PAGE_ADMIN}
Written by: Antonio Cesare Corti, Riccardo Freda, Simon Mizrahi, and Fabio Piccioni
Directed by: Riccardo Freda
Starring: Stefano Patrizi, Martine Brochard, and Laura Gemser
Reviewed by: Brett Gallman
“For centuries, philosophers and poets have searched the universe for evidence of the existence of the devil. However, it would have sufficed to look for it at the bottom of their souls.”
One of the lesser heralded Italian schlock directors, Riccardo Freda directed over 45 movies during a career that spanned five decades. They weren’t all horror movies, but some were noteworthy titles for fans of the genre: I Vampiri (which was completed by Mario Bava), The Ghost (featuring Barbara Steele), The Horrible Dr. Hitchcock (more Steele!), The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire (a giallo title if I‘ve ever heard one), and Tragic Ceremony (a somewhat popular giallo itself). His last film, 1981’s Murder Obsession, is mostly a giallo too, though it owes quite a bit to the more straightforward slasher movies that were just becoming popular at the time.
It opens like a classic giallo, as we see a man wearing black leather gloves strangling a helpless woman; luckily for her, we pull back to discover that this is just all occurring on a movie set. While he seemed awfully convincing in his homicidal intent, he’s just an actor, Michael Stanford (Stefano Patrizi). He did, however, actually kill his father when he was younger; as you might imagine, that’s made things awkward between he and his mom, so he doesn’t make it home too often. He makes an exception when shooting on the film wraps, as he decides to visit dear old mom, bringing both his girlfriend (Laura Gemser) and the rest of the crew along. After a day or two, someone begins murdering his friends, so Michael is obviously the number one suspect.
But there’s also a creepy butler (there’s always a creepy butler), and his mom’s a bit of a nutcase who may or may not have dabbled in some black magic. And because this is sort of a giallo, there’s some more red herrings along the way, so you’ll be on your toes until you get to the eventual reveal, which is a clunky double twist loaded with all sorts of exposition. Giallo (and general Italian horror vets) will find the convoluted nature of it all rather familiar; it eventually tosses logic to the wind, casually introducing "psychic powers” to the plot and providing a howler of a reason for the cops not showing up (in short, one of the characters was going to call them, but forgets). These narrative plots are clumsy and absurd, and both twists are eventually a tad predictable, all of which isn't too surprising considering this was another screenplay written by committee (there's got to be a good joke about how many Italians it takes to write a good screenplay).
Getting there is a brisk and mostly enjoyable affair, however. If anything, Murder Obsession reveals the fine line between a giallo, a slasher, and one of those quaint old dark house murder mysteries. This one has elements of all of them--the garish, dazzling style of the giallo, the small, confined scale of the “house whodunnit” (whereas typical gialli are more sprawling and wide in scope), and, of course, the violence of each. Whatever you want to call it, it’s pretty good at every mode; well, good for these sort of things would be more apt, I guess. You’ll of course have to suffer through some spotty, zoned out acting (that isn’t at all aided by the dubbing, which is as shoddy as ever), plus some rough editing (and this is not to mention the still breathing corpse of one of the victims).
The murder sequences aren’t of the elaborate giallo sort, either (which is another reason this feels like a straight slasher at times), but some are no less memorable. A hatchet to the head gag is particularly crude and brutal--the effect is cheap and obvious, but it’s no less effective due to its swiftness. Plus, chunks of from the victims head splatter all over the wall, so it earns style points. Speaking of which, I liked that Freda wasn’t content to make standard gruesome stalk and slash fare; Murder Obsession is rather atmospheric and is aided by the mysterious menace provided by the film’s supernatural aspect. The demonic cult leanings allow for some bizarre sequences, such as when we see a pair of footprints being made on the floor by an invisible stalker.
If one scene steals the show, it’s the dream sequence involving Gemser’s character, who finds herself tied up (and half-naked, of course), seemingly on the receiving end of a cult ritual involving a giant spider. Clearly, 1981 was a bad year at the movies for those suffering from arachnophobia, even if this one doesn’t match the gory, eight-legged mayhem of The Beyond. In fact, the spider effect sometimes looks downright cheap, but, like most of Murder Obsession, it works kind of despite itself. Sometimes, it feels like a haphazard, hallucinatory trip that ends up awkwardly careening into some obvious plot twists, but, like many Euro-horrors, this is somehow advantageous. Also, without spoiling, I’ll say that the killer is especially demented, particularly in their motivation.
Let’s just say that Murder Obsession eventually falls in line with its lurid predecessors; it’s far from an Itallo-sleaze classic, but Freda went out with pretty good, bloody bang. Having seen this one, I’m curious to see what else he managed to unleash over the years, which, ultimately, is what it’s all about. Murder Obsession itself is only just now making its Region 1 debut thanks to Raro Video, who are quickly establishing themselves as the go purveyors of obscure Italian cinema. Their disc has a strong presentation--the transfer is anamorphic, and while it’s sometimes inky, the detail and colors are solid, and the mono soundtrack is crisp. This English language version has some native Italian scenes spliced in out of necessity, but it’s seamless work revealing no loss in video quality. Extras include an interview with Sergio Stivaletti (who did the effects work on this and numerous other films), some cut scenes, and a fully illustrated booklet with liner notes. A well done effort for a cool little nightmare of slash and sleaze. Buy it!

VA Energy Facts, News, Legislation
2018 Solar Report
2019 General Assembly Energy Recap
As the 2019 session comes to a close, we’d like to give you a rundown of some of the emerging trends in Virginia’s energy policy. Approximately 60 different energy bills were filed this year, ranging from renewable energy policies and energy efficiency to utility regulation and climate change mitigation. Below are some of the most notable trends of this session.
A bill was proposed in the House which prohibits Virginia from joining RGGI, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cooperative of states to cap carbon emissions, currently including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. HB2611 passed both the House and the Senate with ease by a party-line vote. While this bill is likely to be met with a veto, it shows the unfortunate unwillingness to invest in our energy future. This is why your vote matters this year! We need legislators who understand the importance of reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources!
Proposed Large-scale Changes
While many members of the legislature were not prepared to discuss drastic changes in Virginia’s energy mix, there were some noteworthy efforts this year. One was Delegate Rasoul’s “Off Act,” HB1635, which would have created a moratorium on approving any new fossil fuel facilities and other fossil fuel-related activities. It would have also required that retail energy producers sell 80% renewable energy by 2028 and 100% renewable energy by 2036. This bill remarkably made it out of the House Commerce and Labor Committee (which was likely a political move in itself), only to be rejected by the House along party lines.
Other notable efforts came in the form of “Solar Freedom” bills, HB2329 and SB1456. These comprehensive bills tackled issues like removing the cap on net-metering, legalizing power purchase agreements, and decreasing stand-by charges, among other changes. Both of these bills were met with animosity and killed in committee early on in the session.
Funding for Smart Energy Choices
This session saw a number of different bills whose aim was to provide funding for smart energy choices. Some of these solutions came in the form of funding explicitly for solar projects (HB1902) or to incentivize energy efficiency projects (HB2243 & HB2295). None, unfortunately, passed this year. A notable funding bill was HB2165, which would have created a grant program to offset some of the costs of building solar projects on contaminated lands. There are myriad benefits to projects such as these, and while this bill was removed from the docket this year, we will be working hard next session to get it passed.
Common-sense Solar Fixes
Despite some disappointment this session, it is important to highlight some common-sense bills aimed at fixing simple issues in Virginia that did succeed!
HB2293 & SB1605: Create a stakeholder process to provide important input on the development of utility energy efficiency programs.
HB2792 and SB1779 Create a 6-year pilot program for municipal net metering for localities that are customers of utilities.
HB2621 & SB1091: Allows localities to require a decommission plan as a condition for approving a solar site plan.
HB2547 & SB1769: Makes changes to the net-metering program for customers of electric cooperatives, including raising the net-metering cap to 7% of system peak and permitting customers to install enough renewable energy to meet up to 125% of previous year’s demand.
HB 2192 & SB 1331: Creates school modernization initiatives that encourage energy efficient building standards and net zero design.

News Roundup: Virginia’s Solar Capacity Could Triple, Virginia Medical Center Installs Nanogrid, Tech Companies Pushing Solar Adoption
April 30, 2018 By Editor
Virginia’s Solar Power Capacity Could Triple in 5 Years
Virginia’s capacity to generate solar electricity is expected to triple over the next five years, according to a report from the Solar Energy Industries Association, meaning that enough solar energy may be generated in the near future to power upward of 200,000 homes in the state. The solar industry has been growing nationwide. But it still only accounts for about 2 percent of the nation’s capacity to generate electricity. In Virginia, that figure is half a percent. Several reasons account for the growth. The cost of installation has been falling, and the demand for green energy has been soaring. Owners of farmland are also finding that leasing their land for power generation is more profitable than growing traditional crops.
Carilion New River Valley Medical Center Flips Switch on Solar Panels to Power Hospital
The Carilion New River Valley Medical Center is making healthcare more affordable with a solar energy. A nanogrid of nearly 4,000 solar panels now will generate nearly 20 percent of the hospital’s annual energy needs. That means they’re not only reducing their carbon footprint, but also saving money. “Over the course of 20 years, we are expecting to save about $1.5 million,” Scott Blankenship, Carilion director of facility operations, said. This will potentially save patients money down the line. “As expensive as health care is, anything that we can do to keep our costs down can be passed along to our patients ultimately,” Bill Flattery, CEO of Carilion New River Valley Medical Center and vice president of Carilion’s western region operations, said.

Tech Companies Pushing for Solar Energy Across America
Since 2008, renewable energy has gone from 9% to 18% of the U.S. energy mix, according to the Business Council for Sustainable Energy. A big part of that shift stems from tech companies’ rapid buildout of cloud storage centers and a move to burnish their public image by vowing they’ll run these centers on sources like wind and solar. Last year, the top four corporate users of renewable energy in the world were Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Google announced this month that as of 2017, all its facilities and data centers were running on 100% renewable electricity. Rather than lose these deep-pocketed customers, the nation’s power companies are changing policies and crafting deals that meet increased demands for renewable energy, in some cases shifting away from traditional electricity supplies like coal and natural gas.

News Roundup: Microsoft Invests in Solar in Virginia, New Legislation Says Solar is in Public Interest, U.S. Mayors Call for Solar Investment
Tech giant Microsoft announces massive purchase of solar power in Virginia.
Microsoft will purchase 315 megawatts (MW) of energy from two new solar facilities in Virginia, it said recently. The tech giant will buy energy from the Pleinmont I and II sites in what it described as “the single largest corporate purchase of solar energy ever in the United States.” The Pleinmont developments are part of a bigger 500 MW project owned and operated by sPower, an AES and AIMCo business. When operational, Pleinmont I and II will have over 750,000 solar panels covering more than 2,000 acres. Read the full story here.
Virginia legislation opens door to over 5 GW of renewable energy.
Recently passed legislation in Virginia shifts the renewable energy landscape by finding 5.5 GW of solar and wind energy are in the public interest and expediting the state’s renewable energy project regulatory approval process. Known as Senate Bill 966, the legislation includes provisions for energy efficiency and energy storage, in addition to wind and solar. The law also ends a utility rate freeze that has been in effect since 2015. The 5.5 GW of renewable energy in Virginia is not a mandatory target or procurement but serves as a regulatory greenlight for achieving that volume. Read the full story here.
180 US mayors call for use of solar energy in updated letter.
A bipartisan group of 180 mayors from across the U.S. have called for increased solar energy usage in an updated letter released Tuesday by Environment America. The first version of the letter, signed by 70 mayors, was released in December. A focus on renewable energy has become top-priority across the U.S., as dozens of cities have committed to getting 100% of their power from renewables. And while committing to increased solar usage is a significant step forward for these 180 cities, tangible actions will need to be taken for such cities to reach their goals. Read the full story here.
3 Things You [Probably] Didn’t Know About Solar Energy.
The solar industry has come a long way since it began in the 1970s. The way Americans are creating and harnessing solar energy is changing rapidly. In fact, the use of solar energy has grown nearly 20 percent per year over the past 15 years. Still, some preconceived notions about solar energy exist to this day. Here are four things you probably didn’t know about solar energy:
1. It’s affordable
2. It’s accessible
3. It benefits your community and environment, too

News Roundup: Solar Tariff Could Wipe Out Jobs; Hawaii Breaks Ground on 110MW Project; America’s First Solar-Powered Town Welcomes New Residents, & More
February 1, 2018 By Editor
In this monthly roundup, we discuss how the recently imposed a 30-percent tariff on imported solar panels is expected to slow job growth and the Kawailoa solar project in Hawaii is the state’s biggest. We also learn about America’s first solar-powered town and the steps China is taking to move away from coal.
Solar Tariff is Touted as Creating ‘A Lot of Jobs,’ But It Could Wipe Out Many More
To promote U.S. manufacturing and the fossil fuel industry, the Trump Administration recently put a 30-percent tariff on imported solar technologies. However, the 178-percent growth in the American solar industry since 2010 is primarily from installing and maintaining solar installations. So, while U.S. solar panel manufacturers may now have less competition, they may not be able to meet consumer demands. The Solar Energy Industries Association estimates that 23,000 jobs may be lost in 2018 alone because of this decision.
NRG Breaks Ground On 110MW PV Project in Hawaii
On the island Oahu in the state of Hawaii, Hawaiian Electric Company has teamed up with NRG Energy, Kamehameha Schools and other partners to build the state’s biggest solar project yet. Once completed in 2019, this set of three installations will power almost 32,000 Hawaiian homes. The Kawailoa Solar Project — the largest of the installations — will be located on a former sugar cane farm and will generate 49 of the project’s total 110 megawatts.
Welcome to America’s First Solar-Powered Town
Babcock Ranch, north of Fort Myers, Florida, is unlike any town in America. This small community is almost completely powered by solar energy. Planning for Babcock Ranch began in 2006 and is a multigenerational community complete with a public charter school, a transit system and a shopping center. The town already has sold 80 homes, and two families moved in permanently in January. Babcock Ranch’s official grand opening is in March 2018.
China’s Latest Energy Megaproject Shows that Coal Really Is on the Way Out
China has long been a major player in the international fossil fuel economy, but the country’s extreme pollution is causing it to move further and further away from coal. China now has ambitious plans to create 13 million renewable energy jobs and invest at least $360 billion on clean energy projects by 2020. A recent solar project shows that Chinese leaders are taking this commitment seriously: Enough solar panels to power 15,000 homes float on top of an abandoned coal mine reservoir in Anhui, and a similar project in the same province is expected to power 94,000 homes by May 2018. Meanwhile, China also cancelled the development of 104 coal plants across the country last year.

News Roundup: Solar Helping Schools Save Millions, Creating Water from Air, Tapping Windows for Energy & Creating Hydrogen Electricity
November 29, 2017 By Editor
In this monthly roundup, we share how solar helps thousands of K-12 schools across the United States save money and expand their curriculum. Solar also is in the spotlight as scientists continue to find creative ways to use it for energy and to create other types of electricity and even water!

5,500 U.S. Schools Use Solar Power – Number is Growing as Costs Fall
Public and private schools across the country are reducing their electricity bills with solar, leaving them more money to spend on educational programs, including clean energy in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) lessons. About 5 percent of all K-12 U.S. schools are now powered by the sun, and their solar capacity has almost doubled in the last three years, according to a new study by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), The Solar Foundation and Generation 180. The schools using solar power have a total of 910 megawatts of solar capacity, enough to power 190,000 homes, according to the study. Read more here.
Color-changing Windows Tap into Solar to Create Energy
Considering how many square feet of windows there are — from people’s homes to massive office buildings and skyscrapers and vehicles — solar technology fused with windows could increase renewable energy use. Scientists have created a new type of window, dubbed “thermochromic” for their ability to change colors in response to heat, to convert sunlight into electricity using minerals called perovskites and single-walled carbon nanotubes. Eventually, these could help power your home, car, or entire office building one day. Read more here.
Solar Panels Pull Drinkable Water Directly from the Air
Technology that harvests drinking water out of thin air, using a combination of materials science, solar power and predictive data, is now widely available in the United States. The technology is designed to help people go from a position of “water scarcity to water abundance,” regardless of whether they live in an area where access to clean water is a severe problem or live in a place where bottled water is often half-drunk and discarded. Marketed by Zero Mass and first developed at Arizona State University, the solar panels — called Source — cost $2,000 each and produce an average of two to five liters of water per day. Read more here.
Affordable Device Uses Solar Energy to Produce Hydrogen and Electricity
Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have created a hybrid device that uses solar energy to produce hydrogen and electricity in a cost-effective manner. The invention is a significant step forward in the quest to harness the power of hydrogen as a fuel source, particularly in transportation. Current commercial production of hydrogen is costly and carbon intensive, but using ever-cheaper and clean solar power could change the game. Read more here.

Countdown to Election Day: Which Virginia Legislators Support Solar Energy?
November 2, 2017 By Editor
Spotlight on Delegate Randy Minchew
Over the coming weeks, Powered by Facts will be recognizing legislators who are leading the way on solar energy policy in Virginia. A member of the House of Delegates since 2011, Del. Randy Minchew (R-10th District) is one such legislator.
We had the chance to interview Del. Minchew about renewable energy, conservation and solar power recently. He is an active member of the bipartisan Virginia Environment and Renewable Energy (VERE) Caucus, which as he notes, works together to promote renewable energy and energy independence – a common-ground issue for many Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and the Green party.
Del. Minchew has been very involved in promoting ag-net metering, which allows private residences and farms to connect their solar arrays to the existing power grid and decrease their utility bills, for the past two sessions of the Virginia General Assembly.
As he notes, he feels that turning to renewable energy is good for businesses and knows it can produce thousands of jobs in the state of Virginia. Del. Minchew describes his support for renewable energy as “energy liberty” that appeals to the American ethic of self-reliance.
Listen to our interview with Del. Minchew here.

News Roundup: From Hurricanes to Business Opportunities, Solar May Be the Answer, but is It the Only Solution?
October 10, 2017 By Editor
In this roundup, solar is in the spotlight as a potential way to update old energy systems that have been decimated by recent hurricanes. However, as pointed out in Science X, solar energy isn’t necessarily the “panacea” that many hope it will be. Those stories, along with why businesses reduce costs with solar and why Virginia leaders need to respond to climate change that is reshaping the coastline are in our monthly roundup.
Severe power failures in Puerto Rico and across the Caribbean spur new push for renewable energy
In the wake of a string of particularly harsh hurricanes, Caribbean islands are looking at ways to update their energy grids to be more sustainable and storm-resistant. The use of centralized grids and overhead cables on island nations leaves them vulnerable to massive power outages during storms. Furthermore, shipping fossil fuels to islands and isolated areas leads to high utility bills. CARICOM, an assembly of Caribbean nations, is already focused on decreasing dependence on imported fossil fuels, and the recent damages by hurricanes have only spurred island nations to rethink how they distribute their energy. Read more here.
Solar power alone won’t solve energy or climate needs
While solar energy is heralded as a natural and easy alternative to fossil fuels, it is important to understand terminology and conversion rates. Specifically, a kilowatt is not the same as a kilowatt hour — which is how we measure the actual usage we can get out of a certain amount of energy. This assessment is not meant to dismiss or abandon solar or renewable energy, but to better understand the limitations of technology paired with humanity’s current and expected needs. Read more here.
Virginia’s leaders have a serious case of the slows on climate change
Virginia’s landscapes and temperatures are already being affected by climate change, but elected leaders have been slow to respond. The coastlines of Virginia are experiencing chronic flooding, which, if unchecked will result in the loss of billions of dollars of real estate and ecologically priceless wetlands. Virginia’s forests will be at increased risk of fire, and our yearly number of above-90-degree days will triple by 2065. Read more here.
How businesses are reducing their energy costs and building resilience
Businesses are feeling pressure to improve their energy usage and distribution. Work interruptions from severe weather events, the fluctuating costs of fossil fuels, and the vulnerability of large grids to cyberattacks have brought this issue to the forefront of executives’ minds. However, only a third of executives interviewed for this Harvard Business Review article have a long-term energy plan; the rest are still distributing energy on a short-term, reactionary basis. Cost efficiency and social awareness both play a part in this new trend. Read more here.

Building Consensus Prior to Assembly is Key to Changing Virginia’s Energy Mix
Mark Rubin
In our first two podcasts with Mark Rubin, Director at the Virginia Center for Consensus Building, he explained how the “Rubin Group” came to be, how they worked together to get three bills passed in the 2017 General Assembly and how they created five working groups to address specific issues that may be impeding progress of renewable and solar energy in the Commonwealth.
In this podcast, he talks more specifically about why the Rubin Group is important to the Commonwealth and how groups like it can offer help to our legislators by creating consensus on issues before they make it to the General Assembly.
As he explains, Virginia’s legislators are part-time and have limited staff and resources, which is by design. However, it can create a situation in which Virginia legislators don’t have time needed to solve very complex policy issues, like the energy mix in the Commonwealth.
Through the Center for Consensus Building, stakeholders — many of whom are on opposite sides of a spectrum — have the time and space needed to tackle those complex issues. As Rubin points out, when a group of stakeholders develops a compromise solution, it will probably work.
Learn more about how the Rubin Group and others like it work with the Center for Consensus Building and why Rubin says this model works for Virginia in the last in our series of interviews with him.

Energy Diversity is a Way to Boost Resiliency in Virginia
August 4, 2017 By Editor
By Sarah Lasky, Intern
The recent Resilient Virginia Conference, for which Powered by Facts participated on the Planning Committee, enjoyed attendance from a wide range of businesses of all sizes, industries, state and local government officials, utilities and communities. Hundreds gathered to learn more about energy and resiliency in all areas. The sessions Powered by Facts attended were focused on rural agricultural challenges and energy security. Here are some highlights from these sessions:
The rural and agricultural challenges sessions included a discussion between Evan Feinman, Executive Director for Tobacco Regional Revitalization Commission, Julie Shortridge, Assistant Professor for Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech, and Andy Sorrell, Coordinator for Farmland Preservation. Feinman discussed the challenge of economic resiliency for the agricultural sector and said it could be combated through distributed energy throughout Virginia. Shortridge focused on climate threats in Virginia, such as drastic temperature differences, floods, drought, storms and hurricanes, and discussed methods that are currently used to reduce sensitivity to climate threats. Sorrell revealed the necessity for farmland preservation, because of the local economic benefits. Overall, the panelists focused on economic resiliency and climate management.
The second rural break out session, which focused on moving towards energy security, featured Powered by Facts’ Founder Karen Schaufeld, who discussed the necessity to make Virginia a model for the rest of the country. She also mentioned how there are three other major concerns regarding safety and reliability of energy: cyber-attacks, physical attacks and weather events. Schaufeld also talked about the importance of protecting Virginia ratepayers by divesting energy sources and how the Rubin Group is working toward changing legislation to promote renewable and distributed energy systems.
During the session, Eduardo Alcorta, Senior Business Development Leader for GE Power, discussed the need for diverse energy sources to maintain reliable energy flow, which would create energy security. Aaron Sutch, Program Director for VA SUN, explained how solar co-ops help facilitate the purchasing of solar and the need for distributed generation of solar. Dianne Corsello, Director of Business Development for Dominion Energy, also discussed the importance of diversifying energy sources, which will allow for grid security.
Overall, the panelists all agreed that to secure Virginia’s energy, we need to rely on many different energy sources, and, as it was noted by an attendee of the second break out session, it was nice to see a diverse panel of constituencies working together for the future of Virginia.

News Roundup: Solar Jobs Outnumber Coal Jobs for 1st Time Ever, New Policy Paper Urges Move to Renewable Energy in Virginia & New Solar Installations to Bring Jobs
July 11, 2017 By Editor
In this roundup, we highlight stories about an energy trade association urging Virginia gubernatorial candidates to focus on sustainable energy; that solar jobs in the Commonwealth now outnumber coal industry jobs here; and that two new solar installations (one approved and one proposed) offer hundreds of new jobs along with renewable energy for the Commonwealth
Pro-Renewable Business Group Prods Gubernatorial Candidates on Virginia Energy
After the primaries ended, businesses from across the nation came together to urge Virginia gubernatorial candidates to focus on sustainable energy. Advanced Energy Economy, a trade association of 1,000+ energy sector businesses, published a policy paper outlining the steps that the candidates would have to take as governor to bring economic growth and more affordable energy. The paper details an extensive legislative plan set to create jobs in solar and wind generation, protect consumers in power purchase agreements, and introduce more competition in the utility resource industry.
For First Time in History, Solar Jobs Outnumber Coal Jobs in Virginia
Virginia has a rich history in the business of coal, but, for the first time, coal has been dethroned by the renewable energy sector. According to a report by Virginia Public Radio, 2016 marked the first year in the Commonwealth’s history in which more Virginians are employed in the solar industry than the coal industry. This is a drastic change from the 5-to-1 ratio of coal to solar jobs just six years ago. The dramatic shift can be mostly attributed to the emergence of solar jobs in manufacturing, installation and construction.
Virginia’s Largest Solar Farm to Begin Construction in Danville Next Month
Earlier this month, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe announced the construction of the Kentucky Solar project in Danville, VA. The project is expected to power upwards of 900 homes in the region and is slated to be completed by the end of this year. The 6-megawatt farm will be the largest municipal utility solar farm in Virginia and bring hundreds of jobs with it. The farm’s influence will reach far beyond just the city of Danville, as it will affect over 40,000 customers, from Henry County to Halifax.
Proposed Solar Facility in Gloucester could be largest in Virginia
Hexagon Energy, an independent energy development firm, recently announced its proposal to build a 900-acre solar facility in Gloucester County, Virginia. The proposed facility would be equipped with nearly 400,000 panels and capable of producing 225 million kWh per year. If approved, the project also would create from 250 to 300 jobs during the construction period alone, and the facility would continue to produce employment for more than 25 years.

First in a Series: The Atlantic Coast Pipeline — What You Need to Know
June 27, 2017 By Editor
By Sarah Lasky, Powered by Facts Intern
Many Virginians have heard about the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP), but may not know what it is, what it means for the state, etc. Here’s a quick primer on the ACP:
It is a 600-mile underground interstate natural gas pipeline that would stretch from Harrison County, West Virginia to North Carolina.
It is owned by Atlantic Coast, which is made up of four major energy companies who work together to fund, develop, construct and operate the ACP:
Dominion Energy,
Duke Energy,
Piedmont Natural Gas, and
Southern Company Gas.
The pipeline would range from a 42-inch diameter to a 20-inch diameter pipeline, with a Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of 1,440 pounds per square inch gage (psig)
Currently, Atlantic Coast states that the natural gas will feed Mid-Atlantic and Southeast customers
Current ACP plans have it running through the George Washington, Jefferson and Monongahela National Forests of Virginia and West Virginia
In order for the ACP to be built in the National Forests, the long-term management plan of all three forests needs to be considered, which means that Atlantic Coast officials need to use existing utility corridors and avoid fragmenting rare plant terrain. The route was rerouted in order to avoid sensitive environmental areas, which added 40 miles to the pipeline
In addition to public lands, the ACP would cut through private lands, which has several landowners worried because Dominion seems to be ignoring their state-sponsored conservation easements. A conservation easement is a tool that is used to protect a variety of important natural resources. The easement is used in order to deter future development and undesirable land uses, but continuing to allow private landownership. The Virginia Outdoors Foundation holds 3,835 easements, which totals more than 750,000 acres and Dominion has offered to donate two parcels that will total around 1,200 acres in the hopes of offsetting the intrusion of the pipeline on protected lands. Although land swaps are allowed in the state, it is required to be consistent with the locality’s comprehensive plan, and many locals along the pathway have clearly shared their opposition to the pipeline.
We encourage your comments and questions about our posts about the ACP. Please stay tuned as we take a deep dive into the economics of the pipeline and the pros and cons to the ratepayer.

Net Zero Schools Save Money and Enhance Education; Arlington School Sets Example for Commonwealth
May 9, 2017 By Editor
American schools spend more on electricity and natural gas than on textbooks and computers, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. However, schools can change that equation and save millions by going “net zero” through a combination of efficiency and onsite renewable energy, such as solar, to produce more energy than is used in a year.
It is already happening in Virginia at the Discovery Elementary School in Arlington, which also happens to be one of the nation’s largest net zero buildings of any kind. Not only is Discovery saving the district money now, but it also saved them money during construction and will save money every year going forward. The district’s budget for the school was $36 million, but the architect realized they could create a “net zero ready” building for $30.7 million.
Discovery is part of a trend across the United States, and 2016 was a big year for net zero K-12 schools, according to the New Buildings Institute. In fact, 38% percent of the 332 “verified” and “emerging” net zero building projects last year were K-12 schools.
Why? Because schools are a good fit for net zero projects. They have predictable and relatively constant energy demand; they have large roofs suitable for solar panels and districts have a long-term interest in reducing energy costs; and they possess bonding authority for big projects, according to the New Buildings Institute.
In addition to saving money, a school’s sustainable features can become fodder for teaching students about energy, technology and the environment. The Solar Lab at Discovery Elementary, for example, allows students to interact with the school’s rooftop electric and water systems. The school has a custom-made dashboard that tracks the energy production, energy consumption and the net of those two numbers. Students can access the dashboard in real-time from any school computer and view it on a large-screen TV in the entrance lobby or in solar lab.
The Discovery dashboard consistently shows good news. Since it opened in Fall 2015, the energy return has exceeded expectations. Even the winter months ran net positive. This year, the school is expected to save the district some $80,000 in power bills (compared to the typical Arlington elementary), and that number is likely only to get better.
Districts across the Commonwealth could learn from Arlington and Discovery Elementary, as well as from other states, which are making net zero schools a priority. From every angle – education, budgets, resiliency and sustainability – net zero schools should be a priority for Virginia too.

Solar Jobs in Virginia: Well-Paying, Diverse and Growing Rapidly
By Karen G. Schaufeld
Virginia is moving up in the charts in terms of solar job growth: according to The Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2016, the Commonwealth was 9th in the United States (tied with Utah) for year-over-year solar job growth and 2nd in the Southeast.
In fact, according to Governor Terry McAuliffe, Virginia has one of the fastest growing solar job markets in the country. Here’s a snapshot:
Total number of solar jobs: 3,326, which is a 65% increase from 2015.
Jobs growth across the supply chain:
almost 1,750 installation jobs, representing a 46-percent increase over 2015;
more than 575 project development jobs, a 108-percent increase; and
more than 300 manufacturing jobs, an 88-percent increase.
Women represent almost 38 percent of our solar workforce, while Latino/Hispanic workers represent 22 percent.
More than 174 megawatts of solar have been installed in Virginia since 2014.
Revenue in the clean energy sector generally has grown four-fold – to $2 billion – in the last three years.
Governor McAuliffe said that solar growth helps Virginia become “… less reliant on federal spending and [more focused] on growth in innovative sectors… Virginia is moving in the right direction, but there is still work to do. I will continue to work with our public and private sector stakeholders to implement policies that will continue to bolster not only our solar industry, but the entire clean energy sector in the Commonwealth.”
Growth in solar jobs is not only great news for those who get them, but also great news for the Commonwealth. With more solar in our energy mix, we can lower rates for customers and create a more attractive business climate for the Commonwealth.

Support Virginia Farmers by Advocating for SB 1394 & HB 2303
January 25, 2017 By Editor
Farming can be a risky business. Everything from weather events – snow, flood, drought, ice, etc. – to pests and the vagaries of the market, Virginia farmers must fight on a lot of fronts to create a profitable living.
You can help Virginia farmers by supporting SB 1394 & HB 2303. These identical bills are currently in subcommittee and need your support. SB 1394 & HB 2303 both will allow farmers to harvest the sun and generate a reliable stream of income for up to 25 years. By helping the thousands of small and family-owned farmers in Virginia, you protect your access to fresh, healthy, locally grown produce, meat and dairy products.
Tell your Senator and Representative that you expect them to vote yes for SB 1394 & HB 2303, because it will allow farmers to:
Sell excess energy back from on-site renewable generation to utilities at a fair price – creating an additional, year-round source of revenue for farmers.
Triple the size of their solar capacity (from 500 KW to 1.5 MW), allowing them to create a new “crop” of guaranteed yearly & year-round harvest. This will go a long way toward helping lower their costs, which can be exorbitant for farmers.
Possibly earn higher rates from utilities during peak demand periods – a win for all Virginians, because it allows utilities to buy the additional energy needed at peak periods from local sources and gives farmers a chance to benefit – both agriculturally and fiscally – from the sunniest days.
Call and email Senate & House subcommittee members now and tell them you support SB 1394 & HB 2303:
Senate Commerce and Labor Subcommittee on Renewable Energy

Why Virginia’s Monopoly Utilities Are Trying to Stop Customer-Owned Solar
September 19, 2016 By Editor
Re-published with permission from Virginia Solar United Neighborhoods (VA SUN)
The recent growth of solar electricity generation has been nothing short of spectacular. Nationally, solar photovoltaic (PV) installation costs have fallen by more than 70% in the past decade. The total capacity of installed solar has tripled since 2010. The solar industry now employs more people than the coal and gas extraction industries. Solar now accounts for the majority of new electricity generation capacity additions. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have propelled this solar momentum, installing solar arrays on their own homes and businesses.
Virginians are no different in seeing the value of producing local energy with solar. In the last three years alone, our small non-profit, VA SUN, has directly facilitated more than 400 installations. This has generated more than $8 million dollars in retail solar sales for local Virginia contractors.
This grassroots solar momentum combined with dramatic system cost declines has Virginia’s electric utilities worried.
Why is rooftop solar a threat to monopoly utilities?
Solar panels are a distributed power source. This means they create electricity at or near the source of use. This is counter to traditional electricity generation which occurs at large, centralized locations and is then transmitted long distances to the point of end use. The emergence of solar PV as a cost effective and easy to maintain ‘generator’ has enabled Virginians to become their own energy suppliers.
While solar means increased energy freedom, resilience and local job creation for Virginians, utilities see this only as lost revenue.
Electric utilities typically generate income two ways. They sell electricity to customers or they build electric grid infrastructure, such as power plants and transmission lines. As Virginians install more solar, they purchase less electricity from their utilities and reduce the need for costly investment in new power plants and transmission lines.
Increased solar adoption is good for all utility customers, as we are the ones who pay for rising energy costs and investments in new grid infrastructure. This introduces competition and cuts into utility profit margins. Virginia’s two largest utilities, Dominion and Appalachian Power are investor owned utilities, meaning they are managed as private, for profit entities. While they are governed as ‘regulated monopolies’ by the Virginia State Corporation Commission, their primary purpose is to generate revenue for shareholders.
Customer-owned, ‘rooftop’ solar reduces revenue to utility shareholders by reducing demand for their products (electricity and power infrastructure). This is particularly concerning to utilities since they have seen overall growth in electric demand remain flat and even decline since 2009. This flat demand is due to energy efficiency and decreased industrial activity. Solar is poised to lower electricity demand from utilities further. Utilities are trying to hold on to their profit margins by blocking solar’s growth.
VA SUN is a project of the Community Power Network (CPN).

California Sets Daily Solar Record; Powers 6M homes
By Karen Schaufeld
Congratulations to California for setting a record for powering 6 million homes with solar in just one day! Their previous record was set in May of this year, but thanks to this summer’s coast-to-coast high temperatures, their new record is 8,030 megawatts. According to San Francisco Gate, California only included large solar plants in this tally. An additional 537,637 smaller solar panel arrays installed on private homes and business’ rooftops across the state were not counted in this tally.
Meanwhile, Virginia is ranked 39th in solar capacity in the United States. Even with Dominion’s recent pledge of 400mw of solar capacity by 2020, we won’t be anywhere near the production that California is realizing.
And even though California’s climate is often used to discredit solar capacity on the East Coast, our neighbor to the south, North Carolina, shares a similar climate and is ranked 3rd in the United States in terms of solar energy production. In fact, North Carolina already has 100 times more the solar capacity than Virginia does.
Our hope is that legislators this next session will support significant legislation to allow Virginia to participate in the solar revolution. Virginia should be allowed to experience the benefits of solar, including:
reducing reliance on the traditional energy grid, which reduces the risk of widespread failure in the event of a disruption;
protecting against rising energy costs;
protecting and increasing property values;
boosting U.S. energy independence; and
creating jobs and stimulating the Virginia economy.
During peak energy demand, utilities in the Commonwealth actually purchase electricity from out-of-state sources, and I believe it is time for that to change. Visit our Take Action page to send a letter showing your support for a greater renewable energy mix in Virginia.

Second in a Series: What’s in it for them? Why Dominion is Committed to ‘Selling’ the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to Virginians
By Nigam Trivedi, Lehigh University
Those who argue in favor of construction or expansion of non-renewable facilities say it will create jobs. In that vein, advocates for Dominion’s Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) point to the significant benefits it will have for Eastern North Carolina. To transport the fracked gas the 554 miles from West Virginia, however, the ACP will be routed through rural Virginia, which is not going to realize the same benefits from it.
In our last post, we shared an example of how the ACP poses risk to homeowners in and around its projected path. The issue, however, reaches deeper. The eminent domain granted to Dominion has already wreaked havoc on the lives of many Virginians, who have banded together to form “All Pain No Gain,” (APNG) to highlight the negative impacts the ACP will have on property owners, the environment, small businesses, public safety, local heritage and history.
Virginia Constitution Article I, Section 11 gives a utility, if granted the authority, the ability to use or cause ruin to any private property without the permission of the property owner as long as the effort is directed towards an effort of public service. Dominion has even asked the Virginia Outdoors Foundation to abdicate responsibility of 10 protected areas in favor of the ACP.
If the gas is going to North Carolina, is it truly a “public service” to Virginians? Since it won’t benefit Virginians, eminent domain shouldn’t be invoked for the ACP. This issue and others prompted Dominion to commission impact analyses from Chmura Analytics and ICF International, both of which they have used to substantiate the claim that the ACP will drive the creation of thousands of new jobs and create millions in economic benefits.
APNG disputes the studies, and says the ACP will spur a rise in energy prices for Virginians, while simultaneously creating less than 10 percent of the 9,000 jobs Dominion claims it will. In my opinion, it is always better to find a neutral source, such as the Synapse Energy Economics study commissioned by the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC).
This study also counters the claims made in Dominion’s reports and noted that at least one of them has a noticeable lack of transparency and lacks clarity in the presentation of its data. SELC study leveled eight main criticisms against the ICF report, including the claim that the ACP will bolster reliability for regional consumers. To support the claim, the ICF used data from an electric utility based in Maryland and does not provide any data on reliability impacts that relate to the ACP in particular.
The SELC study also criticizes Dominion’s Chmura report for a shortage of data or assumptions relevant to its claims, specifically regarding whether ACP would provide tax revenue benefits for the states in which it will actually be located.
So why is Dominion working so hard to justify the construction of the ACP?
Simply put, it is profitable. In fact, current regulatory policy favors utilities that build pipelines for natural gas. Rates of return can be as high as 14% from a natural gas pipeline, compared to the average return of under 10%, despite the fact that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has done little to verify the necessity of such a large rate of return. While the FERC can challenge the rate that a utility requests, it generally does not do so until after a pipeline is in service.
The FERC process actually incentivizes utilities to overbuild, because it does not require that a utility take into account regional demand in the area that it proposes to build. Also, the FERC will declare a pipeline necessary, if the would-be-builder has convinced a certain number of companies to join in on capacity for the line. As long as the pipeline has enough partners signed up for participation, FERC will approve their request.
If Virginia residents wish to protect their property rights and values, look out for their own economic interests, and preserve their physical environment for their safety and health, they need to ask, “What’s in it for me?” Currently, it seems that the answer is financial, environmental and human health risks – all at no benefit to Virginians and with great benefit to Dominion.
This is just another reason that the task falls on Virginia energy consumers to gain energy independence as quickly and effectively as possible and to push for a better mix of energy options for the commonwealth.
In his next post in this series, Nigam will compare the cost of renewables to the cost of the pipeline, the output from both scenarios and how each will affect ratepayers in Virginia.

56 MWh is a Good First Step; Dominion Still Needs to Do More in Virginia
Many of us want more renewable energy available to consumers and ratepayers as quickly as possible here in Virginia, but our state policies need to be updated to make that possible. Across the country, “the U.S. electric sector is in the midst of an unprecedented shift toward clean energy resources,” according to an analyst from the nonprofit sustainability advocacy organization Ceres, who added that “state policies are critical for continued progress in achieving national and international climate goals.”
We are making some headway in the Commonwealth. In fact, Dominion recently won approval from the State Corporation Commission for three new solar farms in Powhatan, Louisa and Isle of Wight counties. With these, Dominion will add 56 megawatts of potential generation that are expected to produce about 124 gigawatts of electricity annually, according to reports.
This is a good first step toward the 400 megawatts of solar power that Dominion has committed to generate by 2020. However, Ceres ranks Dominion 24th of the 30 largest electric utilities in terms of “advances in renewable energy and efficiency.”
In its 2016 Benchmarking Utility Clean Energy analysis, Ceres reports that many of the nation’s largest electric utilities are moving toward lower carbon fuel sources. They determine that the key drivers are “ambitious state policies and strong corporate demand for renewable energy.”
Utilities with the strongest results were in states with strong clean energy policies, such as Colorado, Minnesota, Massachusetts and California. According to an author of the report, “Governments, corporations and individual customers continue to demand clean, efficient energy and some utilities are answering that call.”
We need Dominion to step up even more and start answering the call for solar and other clean, efficient energy sources for Virginia. To get there, we need our Senators and Delegates to demand that Dominion include even more renewable energy options in its offerings in the Commonwealth.
See the Ceres chart for the breakdown of the top 30 utilities:

The Pros of Cons of the Top Six Energy Sources in America
June 8, 2016 By Editor
When I started Powered by Facts, my goal was to create a source for accurate, up-to-date information on energy production and the costs and benefits of a varied energy production mix in Virginia. Unfortunately, if you don’t understand the different types available to you, as well as their pros and cons, it is difficult to know the best course.
Joe Baker, Vice President of Editorial and Advocacy for Care2 and ThePetitionSite, recently shared a post with The Energy Collective that I found helpful. It outlines the pros and cons of some of today’s most popular energy sources, from solar to fossil fuels. Here are the top points Baker made for each in Demystifying the Energy Source: Is One Better Than Another?:
Strengths: Solar energy is clean, unlimited and inexpensive. According to Baker, “the cost of solar has dropped by 70 percent since 2009 and the price is only expected to drop further as technology advances.”
Weaknesses: Distribution of costs. “With your energy bills, you pay not only for the actual energy you use, but also for the system that gets it to your home,” and most people don’t have the money needed upfront to buy a system.
Strengths: Wind energy is clean and abundant and could provide needed jobs to rural communities, and supplement incomes on existing farms.
Weaknesses: Transmission across long distances is hard, there are storage problems, and wind strength and patterns are unpredictable and don’t always align with power demand. Baker states that wind turbines also pose a hazard to wildlife; however, this data can only be judged relative to other threats to wildlife such as pollution or outdoor cats (it’s true… look it up).
Strengths: This is the most widely used renewable energy in the United States, according to Baker’s post. A big selling point for hydropower is that it’s local and … “creates local jobs both managing the dam and power generation … and can provide power on demand.”
Weaknesses: It’s two biggest drawbacks: location and environmental impacts. You need lots of water year-round to make it work, and dams severely disrupt natural habitats.
Strengths: Geothermal energy can be deployed at the utility scale or in a single building, using heat pumps and a network of pipes to regulate indoor temperatures. It’s also reliable and “ridiculously” efficient, according to Baker.
Weaknesses: Utility-scale geothermal sites are location specific and rarely close to where people live, so much of the energy is lost in transmission. It also requires a great deal of water, which is then polluted with toxic minerals, and it has been linked to earthquakes. Smaller scale, home-based geothermal does not pose these risks.
Strengths: Nuclear power production has a low carbon footprint, is a reliable energy source that can operate on demand and has unique economic benefits. Nuclear power plants can be built anywhere and offer job opportunities.
Weaknesses: Nuclear reactor meltdowns are uncommon, but the impact is devastating. Chernobyl and Fukushima. Enough said. (Author’s Note: Here at Powered by Facts, we value cheaper energy and nuclear power is now among the most expensive to be placed into the rate base borne by ratepayers. Estimates for new nuclear generation are pegged at double the cost of solar. In addition, environmental impacts related to production of nuclear fuel and safekeeping of spent nuclear fuel are concerning.)
Strengths: Fossil fuels are cheap, historically abundant and meet on-demand needs, according to Baker. It also has the advantage that the US energy infrastructure is built for fossil fuel power plants.
Weaknesses: Fossil fuels are damaging the planet and changing the climate (and are more vulnerable to price fluctuations).
Regardless of which type of energy you decide to support, it’s important to understand the options and what they can do for you and for the Commonwealth.
I hope you will continue to educate yourself about energy options for our state and our nation and visit Powered by Facts often.

Imagine What VA Could do with the Power of Solar Farming
April 5, 2016 By Editor
Rooftop Solar is Expected to Generate 32% of Virginia’s Electricity
Rooftop solar could generate nearly 40% of electricity in the United States, according to a recent study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NERL). The report went on to create at state-by-state comparison that estimated that the combined potential for energy from solar on small, medium and large buildings in the Commonwealth of Virginia would account for 32.4 percent of its electricity.
The NREL looked at ZIP-code-level data with rooftop suitability characteristics to model the rooftop capacity of 128 cities across the United States. In addition to looking at suitability, the NREL also factored in each state’s per-capita energy consumption to determine the overall potential for solar to offset electricity generation. Keep in mind that the NREL only looked at buildings, not at other suitable sites for solar.
In fact, according to an NREL spokesperson, “It is important to note that this report only estimates the potential from existing, suitable rooftops, and does not consider the immense potential of ground-mounted PV.”
Solar Farming and the Future of VA Renewable Energy
Reading the NREL has us imaging how much potential Virginia has for solar energy. If you have read recent posts, you know we supported Senator Wagner’s efforts to allow Virginia farmers to use their land to generate solar energy to produce power for their own needs, as well as to sell excess power to other customers or back to their utility. We actively encouraged our readers to support Senate Bill 779, which would have enabled Virginia farmers to create an additional long-term predictable source of revenue from solar farming.
Unfortunately, the bill was shelved until next year. We want Virginia farmers to have the chance to use solar to create a predictable income stream, so we will be watching the committee discussions over the coming months with great interest.
In the meantime, we cannot help but imagine how much energy the Commonwealth could generate if it allowed for “farming” of the sun.
Virginia has more than 46,000 farms, and the average farm size is 171 acres. According to the Virginia Farm Bureau, farms account for 32 percent of Virginia’s total land area, covering 7.9 million acres.
Imagine how Virginia would look on this NERL map, if we allowed for farming of the sun:
About 90 percent of Virginia farms are owned and operated by individuals or families.
Show Virginia farmers your support — reach out to your Senators and Delegates to let them know that solar is important for farmers and everyone in Virginia and you expect them to support SB 779.
In our next post, we will discuss why solar and other options for energy could prove to be safer for Virginia.

Tell Virginia Governor McAuliffe you Support HB 444 and SB 745
It’s Not Too Late to Support Virginia Renewable Energy
There is still time to support renewable energy legislation for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The end of the 2016 General Assembly is approaching fast, so make time now to contact Governor Terry McAuliffe to let him know that you support Senate Bill 745 and House Bill 444.
These identical bills have passed in the House and the Senate and now are with the Governor, who has until midnight on March 8 to sign, amend or veto them. These bills would require the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) to post on its website the names and telephone numbers of electric energy suppliers licensed to sell renewable electric energy in Virginia, as well as to provide links to the companies’ websites. The measures also require each Virginia investor-owned electric utility to include a notice in bills about this information on the SCC website at least once each calendar quarter.
Please encourage Governor McAuliffe to sign SB 745 and HB 444 by sending a note from his Contact page or by calling his office at 804-786-2211.
While these may not seem groundbreaking, they are a step in the right direction. After all, the Commonwealth continues to lag behind many other states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, Maryland, Delaware, Florida and many others, in terms of renewable energy production, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Maybe providing easier access to information on the SCC website and requiring our electric utilities to remind ratepayers where to find options for renewable power will help Virginia start to improve its renewable energy mix.
If you believe, as I do, that Virginia can do better, then make sure to thank Delegate Manoli Loupassi and Senator Frank Wagner for their efforts with these bills on behalf of renewable energy this session.
Delegate G. Manoli Loupassi (R) – District 68
DelMLoupassi@house.virginia.gov
Senator Frank W. Wagner (R) – District 7
District07@senate.virginia.gov
There is much to do over the next 10 months to ensure that all Virginia Senators and Delegates understand how important changing the renewable energy mix in our state is to business, agriculture and economic growth potential.

Senator Wagner: Reduce VA’s Reliance on Imported Electricity and Expand Renewable Energy Options
Senate Bill 779 and Virginia’s Renewable Energy Mix
We recently sat down with Senator Frank Wagner in his office at the Virginia General Assembly to find out more about why Senate Bill 779 was pushed to 2017. Wagner explained that SB 779 will now go to a study group that will include all of the stakeholders involved – renewable energy companies, electric utilities, etc. – to create a bill that is acceptable to everyone before it is re-introduced next year.
Wagner also shared that Virginia imports more energy than any state other than California and calls the amount of energy the Commonwealth imports “untenable.” We greatly appreciate Senator Wagner’s time and commitment to renewable energy in the Commonwealth. Thank him for being an advocate for Virginia ratepayers. Call him at (804) 698-7507, or email him at district07@senate.virginia.gov.

Farming the Sun – Farmers Need Your Help w/SB 779, VA Renewable Energy
Help Virginia Farmers: Tell Richmond you Support SB 779
If you support your local farmers – and Virginia has many of them – then you must contact Senators Richard Stuart and Frank Wagner today to lend your support Senate Bill 779 (click here). The bill is being discussed Monday and will rise or fall on whether these senators know that you support it.
Virginia’s rich history of agriculture has many manifestations, from grape growing and wine making to dairy, the equine industry and grain and vegetable growing. Living here, you know how all of these enhance our quality of life.
Here are some other things you should know about Virginia farmers and agriculture:
Virginia’s agriculture pumps $55 billion dollars into the economy annually and employs more than 350,000 people in the Commonwealth.
The average size of a Virginia farm is only about 171 acres.
Farming is risky: everything from weather, pests and market fluctuations can affect crops and profits.
There is a way for all of us to help our local farmers by enabling them to create an additional long-term predictable source of revenue from solar farming – Virginia renewable energy in action.
Senate Bill 779, sponsored by Senator Stuart (District 28), does just that and represents a boon for farmers. The bill, introduced this week, encourages farmers to farm the sun alongside their crops. It will allow them to produce power for their own needs and sell power, either to other customers or back to their utility.
Farmers now can turn land that is unsuitable for traditional crops into a new type of revenue. Moreover, because the life span of a solar array is about 25 years, it could lower their risk and create a predictable income stream. This would protect their financial future, safeguard the agriculture industry and – ultimately – ensure that all Virginians have the opportunity to continue to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Support SB 779 and Virginia farmers today.
Email or call:
Senator Richard Stuart: District28@senate.virginia.gov or 804-698-7528
Senator Frank Wagner: District07@senate.virginia.gov or 804-698-7507

Countdown to Crossover: Support 2016 VA Renewable Energy Initiatives Now, or Lose Your Chance
The Virginia General Assembly has been in session for only three weeks, but the halfway mark – “Crossover” – is only two weeks away. This year, it falls on February 16, 2016, and at that time, according to Delegate J. Randall Minchew’s most recent Minchew Memo, “more than 1,300 bills will have traveled through the committee process, and if passed out of committee, head to the floor . . . for passage or defeat.”
Why should you care? If a bill has not passed out of committee at that time, then it is dead. In fact, two bills that dealt with renewable energy have already died. HB 480, which would have established a renewable energy property tax credit on the cost of the renewable energy property, was killed last week. HB 638, which would have permitted higher education institutions to enter into a public-private partnership to generate wind or solar power died in committee.
Renewable Energy Legislation for Virginia
If you want more renewable energy options for Virginia, it is time for you to reach out to your VA Delegate or Senator and, if you are enjoying this, the members of the Labor and Commerce Committee of the House and make sure they know how important it is to you.
As we mentioned in a previous post about energy initiatives in the 2016 VA General Assembly, Powered by Facts supports HB 444, sponsored by Delegate G. Manoli Loupassi, who represents House District 68. We also supported HB 480, sponsored by Delegate Richard C. “Rip” Sullivan, Jr., before it was killed.
There are a number of other renewable energy bills currently being considered by Virginia lawmakers, and the Powered by Facts team has reviewed them. Along with HB 444, we support the following proposed House Bills and encourage you to learn more about them and offer your support as well.
HB 1285: VA community renewable energy programs – Introduced by Del. Minchew, who represents House District 10, would help to provide access to renewable energy by allowing multiple customers to join together to own a renewable energy generating source.
HB 1286: Distributed and renewable generation of electric energy; net energy metering and third party purchase agreements in VA — Also introduced by Del. Minchew – exempts non-utility sellers of renewable energy from having to register as a public utility, removes the 1% Commonwealth-wide cap on net metering eligible energy, loosens capacity limitations on individual net energy metering systems, and adds the goal of promoting and encouraging private sector distributed generation.
Powered by Facts also supports a number of Senate bills that address renewable energy and will share those with you in our next post.
Keep track of renewable energy bills that your Delegates and Senators are debating, discussing and voting on right now. You can track them here or here.

The Time is Now for Virginia to Change Its Views On Renewable Energy
January 6, 2016 By Editor
Renewable Energy Initiative in VA – Legislative Tax Credit Extensions
We were pleased to see the recent passage of two renewable energy bills that included an extension of the 30-percent Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar through 2018, when it will begin ramping down to a permanent 10-percent level. In addition, the new law extended the 2.3-cent Production Tax Credit (PTC) through next year. This means that those building sustainable solar and wind projects in Virginia and across the country will continue to receive credits.
As noted in Green Tech Media, many national groups may now set their sights on local battles around the United States. It is time for that battle for renewable energy legislative change in Virginia. There are myriad reasons that Virginia must start including renewable energy in the mix of options available to ratepayers.
As we’ve noted here on Powered by Facts, these are just a few of the reasons:
Historically a leader in energy production, policies and pricing, the Commonwealth of Virginia is lagging behind. At the end of 2014, Virginia had only 14 MW of solar energy installed across the Commonwealth; while Maryland had 242 MW and Pennsylvania had 247 MW.
During peak energy demand, utilities in the Commonwealth actually purchase electricity from out-of-state sources.
Renewable energy is poised to overtake the increase in need in Virginia more rapidly than conventional power sources.
In Virginia, the renewable energy industry already directly employs more workers than the coal industry.

Virginia Renewable Energy Can Keep up With Power Demand
December 24, 2015 By Editor
Non-sustainable energy sources have proven to be inadequate for Virginia’s growing energy needs. Not only that, but the prevention of the growth of Renewable Energy is largely based on competing energy businesses and factual inaccuracies. Here’s our newest entrant in our Virginia renewable energy myths and facts series (#VAenergyfacts):
Myth: Growth in renewable energy can’t possibly keep up with the growing energy demand.
Fact: Renewable energy is poised to overtake the increase in need in Virginia more rapidly than conventional power sources. It’s time to change the laws that have prevented growth in solar and renewables.

UNREAL: Hillary Gives Commencement Speech At Wellesley, Goes OFF THE RAILS About Trump
It’s been over six months since Hillary Clinton was rejected by the American people, but hearing the speech she gave on Friday it’s evident she still hasn’t accepted defeat.
The two-time failed presidential candidate returned to her alma mater to speak to an auditorium filled with adoring students, and it’s evident that losing the election is taking its toll on her fragile ego. In her speech, she took shot after shot at President trump, at one point suggesting he’s going to be impeached, and even invoked Richard Nixon to draw parallels to the President’s firing of former FBI Director Comey.
The Daily Mail reports that the bitter ex-candidate also spoke of a “full-fledged assault on the truth” and warned that Trump is trying to create an “authoritarian regime.” As if that wasn’t insane enough, she alluded to Trump committing various crimes since he’s taken office – something that has absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever.
Check it out, if you can stand to listen to it:
More from the Daily Mail:
Speaking to gowned graduates at the school where she addressed students in 1969, Clinton referenced the resignation of President Richard Nixon and a House committee’s impeachment investigation – but it was clear to graduating students what she was really talking about.
‘We were furious about the past presidential election of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice,’ the defeated presidential candidate said – as members of the crowd at the liberal campus erupted into cheers.
Then she brought up Nixon’s ‘firing the the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice’ – a line that brought laughs and more cheers.
Both were obvious shots at Trump, who fired FBI Director James Comey in the midst of an agency probe of Russian meddling in the U.S. elections. The move brought parallels to Nixon’s ‘Saturday Night Massacre,’ when he got rid of independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox.
As she addressed students, Clinton also pointed to the evolution of ‘authoritarian’ regimes, in a criticism of Trump’s constant attacks on the media and his critics.
‘When people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society,’ she warned. ‘That is not hyperbole, it is what authoritarian regimes throughout history have done.’
‘You are graduating at a time when there is a full-fledged assault on truth and reason,’ she told graduates, referencing White House counselor Kellyanne Conway’s defense of ‘alternative facts.’
In yet another shot at Trump, Clinton said: ‘Some were even denying things we see with our own eyes, like the size of crowds.’
Isn’t that something? The most dishonest presidential candidate in history, who made a fortune off of criminal corruption, actually went out there and acted as if it’s Trump who’s the danger to our nation; Trump who’s trying to rid Washington of corrupt career politicians.
There’s a full-fledged assault on the truth alright, and Hillary and her fellow liberals are on the front lines leading the charge.

Once-dying Wheaton Way ‘a lot better than it was,’ councilwoman says
josh farley
Leslie Daugs in front of the new, 160-unit apartment development along Wheaton Way.
Five years ago, Bremerton City Councilwoman Leslie Daugs took on a 16-year incumbent with a central issue in mind: stopping Wheaton Way’s “slow death.”
I watched her debate Cecil McConnell, the late longtime councilman, at the Cloverleaf off Hollis Street. The bar and grill overlooked a vacant former Kmart, an empty Albertson’s — which moved down the road — and a recently vacated Lowe’s, which headed north outside city limits. Daugs felt passionate about doing something about it.
“It was dying,” Daugs told me in an interview a few weeks ago, “And I wanted to make sure we weren’t going to continue to die.”
Last one to leave, please turn the lights out.
Daugs won the seat in fall of 2011. She believes the beleaguered corridor has indeed improved since she’s been in office.
“Baby steps,” she said. “It’s a lot better than it was.”
The biggest change on her watch was the repeal of the Wheaton-Riddell subarea plan, which mandated that developers make pedestrian-friendly streetscapes along the road. That proved a turnoff to almost all business. After the plan fell, Fitness Evolution moved into one of those empty buildings.
The city’s planning commission and City Council also loosened rules on drive thrus, and within a year or so, McDonald’s, Kitsap Bank and a new Starbucks opened. Shari’s was also remodeled.
She’s applauded other changes as well — the Boys and Girls Club opening at the site of the Old East High School, the new roof for the old gym there and the school district’s plans to tear down the dilapidated school. She’s a fan of the new Super Saver grocery store and Henery Hardware, too.
She was not pleased that her fellow council members would not allow a used car dealership on a lot near Wheaton’s intersection with Sylvan Way. Daugs believes that city hall should not pretend Wheaton Way is something other than auto-centric. “It’s a big highway,” and should be treated as such, she told me.
A stronger economy has no doubt benefited Wheaton Way in the years she’s been on Council. I interviewed Daugs at the site of a 160-unit apartment complex, where a Kitsap Transit transfer station and park and ride will also be built, too. Nearby, a new day care is about to open as well.
She’s hoping the pendulum continues to swing in a positive direction.
“Wheaton Way is an area that’s definitely in need in new growth,” she said. “And whether it be apartments or businesses, we can always use that.”
What’s your take? Do you believe that the economic climate along Wheaton Way has improved?

Lower Wheaton Way, what are you sinking about?
Photo by Tad Sooter.
Think you’ve heard the last of the Lower Wheaton Way project?
Sink again.
On Saturday night, a mysterious void opened up on the newly paved street, near its intersection with Winfield Avenue. City public works crews have since been able to patch the sinkhole, but have not been able to explain why it happened.
City engineer Tom Knuckey told me that crews sent video cameras into sewer and stormwater lines under the street before the project started and after the sinkhole emerged. While a storm drain was replaced about 10 feet from the sinkhole early on in the project, no other problems showed up with the utilities there, he said.
“We had no indication there were voids below the pavement, and the contractor had no way of knowing,” Knuckey told me.
That means the city will have to pay and patch up the work on a brand new street. Knuckey’s best guess is that, given the road’s age — it began as a state highway circa 1930 — there’s many layers of pavement underneath and more of the stuff was just laid over the top in the current $3.4 million project. Plus, the compacting of the new pavement, which uses those massive road rollers, may have knocked something loose.
“It puts a lot of energy into the ground,” Knuckey said.
Sometimes such holes appear when an old, rotting stump deteriorates in the ground, creating a void. Knuckey can only speculate, but that’s a possibility.
In the next few weeks, crews will tear up the temporary patch and dig down in an effort to find the cause. If they cannot, they’ll fill it up with road and pave it over.
Perhaps this just isn’t that big of a deal to begin with, and we should be happy just to have a rare new street in Bremerton. One of my editors, who happens to live on the west side of town, was nonplussed.
“You call it a sinkhole,” he told me. “We call it a pothole.”

IN PHOTOS: Story Walk on Wheaton Way
Photo by Laura Henderson of the beginning of our walk.
David Wheaton was a Canadian working in Portland when he came to Bremerton to be the superintendent on the Manette Bridge project. It was 1928 and Wheaton, a partner in the Union Bridge Company, would end up spending the rest of his life here, overseeing projects like Eastpark, Casad Dam and the Warren Avenue Bridge.*
To me, history is most importantly about people and the amazing things they do, so I chose to begin our latest monthly Story Walk with a few words about him. At least 35 of you came to walk Saturday the road named for him, Wheaton Way, along the newly remade stretch. We traversed the new, almost mile-long 10-foot sidewalk and had some good discussions about the road’s past, present and future.
Photo by Mark Alan Moshay at the midpoint.
We only got rained on one time, while we visited the site of the now deceased Maple Leaf Tavern — proof positive that there’s really no way to stay dry anywhere near that property, even when the bar is long gone.
I hope the experience was fruitful for everyone. I’m still working out the kinks for next month, but I hope you will join us in May for the next one. Watch this blog for details as I know them.

April 25, 2015 Story Walk, Wheaton Way
Come walk the new Wheaton Way with me
Little known fact: there’s actually no such thing as “Lower,” or even “Old” Wheaton Way. It’s just a title we Bremerton residents use to distinguish a meandering little thoroughfare from the much larger commercial corridor nearby.
Roots of the road date back to the 1920s. Once lined with popular spots like the Maple Leaf Tavern and the hopping Bay Bowl, it became an oddly wide street with only a few businesses left (the Bay Bowl, I should add, is now home to a Thai restaurant).
But “Lower” Wheaton Way, as it became when the Warren Avenue Bridge was built, was just reconstructed, adding wide sidewalks, bike lanes, street lamps and a new surface.
At noon on Saturday, I invite you to come out and walk this nearly mile-long stretch of revamped roadway. We’ll tell tales of its history, discuss its transformation and contemplate its future.
We’ll meet at Whitey Domstad Park, the little green space next to the Manette Bridge roundabout and just above the Boat Shed restaurant.
And speaking of local merchants, the Boat Shed and FOUND in Manette have agreed to offer 10 percent off to those who go on the Story Walk, and The Weekender on East 11th will take 15 percent off an item that day following the walk.
This is the fourth story walk of the year. Here’s links to our previous walks:

The tide is high but we’re holding on
The tides have been quite high these past few days, surpassing 13 feet on a few occasions. Here’s a few photos around the Port Washington Narrows in Bremerton from this morning, near the high mark about 8 a.m.
For a couple schedule, go here.
The tide should subside a bit in the next couple of weeks. But believe it or not, it will surge again later this month. The tide will actually be the highest on Christmas Day — slated for a 13.76.
If you have photos of the high tide, don’t hesitate to send them my way to post.

It’s a milestone for the project, which will add wide sidewalks, bike lanes and better lighting to an approximately one mile stretch of road spanning Bremerton’s bridges.
The project is slated to be completed in the fall.

Kitsap Bank comes down on Wheaton Way
The old Kitsap Bank comes down. Photos by Shannon Childs.
We’ve seen a few demolitions around Bremerton lately, the latest being the destruction Monday of the old Kitsap Bank along Wheaton Way.
The branch, built in 1961, was Kitsap Bank’s first outside its Port Orchard headquarters. It has been reduced to rubble, adjacent to the bank’s new location at Wheaton and Sylvan Way.
Coffee drinkers rejoice: the new bank will be connected to a new Starbucks.
The long-deteriorating Wheaton Way corridor is starting to see signs of new life. McDonalds is nearly done with a rebuild at its same location (not far from Kitsap Bank) and the Bremerton Teen Center is just down the street at the site of the old East High School.
The new bank is slated to open Aug. 1.

Thai bowl: Serving up Thai at the Bay Bowl in Bremerton
In Thailand, the word Rimnam translates to “waterfront,” a logical name for the Bremerton restaurant founded in 2012 near the banks of the Port Washington Narrows in Manette.
But when things didn’t work out in their initial location, Rimnam owner Fang Tuckawarut searched for a new home. She found one just up Lower Wheaton Way — luckily, a spot also nearby the waterfront.
So far, it’s a hit. Rimnam’s opening day inside the now defunct Bay Bowl was their busiest ever, surpassing all others inside the restaurant’s former location in Manette proper.
All come for the food. But some are nostalgic for the brick-lined building. After all, this was a home to bowlers for some 50 years.
“Some people say, ‘I can’t believe you turned the Bay Bowl into a restaurant,'” she said.
She credits Chris Campana, owner of the Bay Bowl, as having been a strong supporter of the move. Campana, who also owns the Italian restaurant of the same name in Poulsbo, has for several years tried to woo tenants inside. With Rimnam, he’s added two, having rented out the former bowling alley space to Delphinus, a nearby engineering firm, which stores equipment there.
There’s still a swanky martini bar in its upstairs that could open up if an interested tenant emerges.
Regardless, Rimnam’s been hopping. The place seats 45, and Tuckawarut has already hired two cooks and three servers, and is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. most days for lunch and 5 to 8:30 p.m. most everyday for dinner. The restaurant does takeout and Tuckawarut plans to soon start a delivery service, she said.
Rimnam was only open 11 months in its old location on East 11th Street. She blames a lack of traffic in the area as a cause, and one of the reasons she believes she’ll succeed this time around. There’s no shortage of cars going by the Bay Bowl, in an area situated in close proximity to Bremerton’s hospital district.
The new location is also bigger, at 1,200 square feet — 400 more, including a large round table in the back of the restaurant that has been popular thus far with big groups. The place is also filled with artifacts from Tuckawarut’s native Thailand.
In the summertime, Tuckawarut plans to put a patio out front. The Lower Wheaton Way street improvement project will not only lay down a new road before her business, it will put a 10-foot wide sidewalk right up to her door, helping improve the atmosphere.
The location might be different but the food is largely the same, with traditional Thai dishes spread out throughout the menu, along with some signature dishes like raspberry phad Thai, avocado green curry and drunken spaghetti.

The followup: Those car tab fees you pay? Some will go for Old Wheaton Way
As a Bremerton resident who just renewed my car tabs, I was reminded that we fork over an extra $20 each year to help maintain Bremerton’s roads.
And what is that extra Andrew Jackson going to buy in Bremerton, you ask?
The fund — which generates around $350,000 a year — goes toward street upkeep. The city’s street department seals in cracks, tears out craggily sections of roadway and patches them, and utilizes other quick fixes aimed at extending a road’s life.
But at a Feb. 5 meeting of the Transportation Benefit District (TBD) board — which is really just the Bremerton City Council, but with a fancy title that authorizes them to spend the car tab money — its members authorized spending $250,000 for the Old Wheaton Way project.
The project, which will put in a new street and sidewalks along Old Wheaton from Lebo Boulevard to the Manette Bridge, doesn’t have enough existing funds for completion. Most of the funding is coming from a $1.4 million state grant. The TBD money gets the city closer to installing all of the project’s components, including street lighting, according to Bremerton Public Works Director Chal Martin.
The TBD board approved a total $750,000 tab for road projects, in excess of what it collects per year but a doable amount because of reserves the TBD fund had built up in its first year and a half of existence.
I’ll have a more detailed story in the Kitsap Sun in the coming days. In the meantime, drop a line and let me know what you think of the car tab fee and what it’s spent on.

Kitsap Bank, Starbucks teaming up: Get your dough, cup of joe, and go
Starbucks will join Kitsap Bank’s development at the corner of Wheaton Way and Sylvan Way, we reported today in the Kitsap Sun. (“Bank plans dough, joe, go,” our fine headline writers penned.)
Here are some renderings of what the two businesses will look like there. It’s been a rough few years for Wheaton Way, and city and bank leaders are hoping the revamp is the breath of fresh air that can spur other redevelopment there.
Bremerton’s planning commission loosened drive thru standards that were approved by the City Council, paving the way (no pun intended) for the project, as was brought up on my Facebook page yesterday.
What do you think the new development, slated to open Aug. 1, will do for the battered corridor?

Samuel Adams, Privacy Army quotes:
And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of grievances; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possessions.

Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Privacy Army quotes:
Ways may someday be developed by which the government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home.
more Justice Louis D. Brandeis quotes
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Privacy Army quotes:
Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen...
more Zbigniew Brzezinski quotes
Edmund Burke, Privacy Army quotes:
No government ought to exist for the purpose of checking the prosperity of its people or to allow such a principle in its policy.
more Edmund Burke quotes
Whitfield Diffie, Privacy Army quotes:
If you say to people that they, as a matter of fact, can’t protect their conversations, in particular their political conversations, I think you take a long step toward making a transition from a free society to a totalitarian society.
more Whitfield Diffie quotes
Justice William O. Douglas, Privacy Army quotes:
The privacy and dignity of our citizens [are] being whittled away by sometimes imperceptible steps. Taken individually, each step may be of little consequence. But when viewed as a whole, there begins to emerge a society quite unlike any we have seen -- a society in which government may intrude into the secret regions of a [person’s] life.
more Justice William O. Douglas quotes
Victor Ferkiss, Privacy Army quotes:
Complete and accurate surveillance as a means of control is probably a practical impossibility. What is much more likely is a loss of privacy and constant inconvenience as the wrong people gain access to information, as one wastes time convincing the inquisitors that one is in fact innocent, or as one struggles to untangle the errors of the errant machine.
more Victor Ferkiss quotes
Louis Freeh, Privacy Army quotes:
If you ask Americans whether they want an FBI wire tax in their phone bill, they'll say, “No.” If I ask them whether they want a feature on their telephone which allows me to find their child, if they're taken, they'll say, “Yes.” I think it's a question of perception.

William Pitt, Privacy Army quotes:
The poorest man may in his cottage, bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail, its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England may not enter; all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.

George Bernard Shaw, Privacy Army quotes:
The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.
more George Bernard Shaw quotes
U. S. Privacy Study Commission, Privacy Army quotes:
The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties through automation, integration, and interconnection of many small, separate record-keeping systems, each of which alone may seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable.

2020 USAC NATIONAL MIDGET SCHEDULE IS LARGEST SINCE 1988
Posted by Racers Guide in Latest News, Sprint Cars & Midgets, USAC 1 month ago 170 Views Leave your thoughts
Story By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Photos By: Dan DeMarco/RacersGuide.com
Speedway, Indiana (December 12, 2019)………USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets will embark on their largest schedule of events in over three decades when the series hits the trail for the start of their 65th season on Feb. 7-8 at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla., the opening night of Winter Dirt Games XI.
The series schedule has grown to 39 events for the 2020 campaign, the most events on the slate since 1988. It’s a schedule which includes a mix of first-time venues and returns to tracks after lengthy absences along with traditional, annual events which have seen a tweak for the coming year.
March 7 marks the season’s lone indoor event, the fifth running of the Shamrock Classic at the Southern Illinois Center in Du Quoin. April roars like a lion with two nights at “The Ditch” on April 10-11 for the series’ return to Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas for the first time since 2016. Meanwhile, back-to-back nights at Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway for the Kokomo Grand Prix fill the calendar on April 24-25.
The 1/8-mile bullring of Port City Raceway in Tulsa, Okla. debuts on the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget stage in 2020 with consecutive nights of racing on May 15-16.
Thirty-four years ago, John Andretti scored his first and only career USAC National Midget feature win at Paragon Speedway. It’s been absent from the series schedule ever since, but this year on June 2, that all changes when the 1/4-mile paperclip-shaped oval welcomes the series as the opener to the 16th edition of Indiana Midget Week. Indiana Midget Week continues to groove for each of the following five nights with Gas City I-69 Speedway on June 3, Lincoln Park Speedway on June 4, Bloomington Speedway on June 5, Lawrenceburg Speedway on June 6 and Kokomo on June 7.
Dirt Oval 66 in Joliet, Ill. is back on the tour again on June 20, leading into the third edition of the BC39 at The Dirt Track at IMS in Speedway, Ind. which will be showcased on a brand-new summertime slot, July 1-2. Mid-America USA is the next stop for the Midwest Midget Championships on July 17-18 at Jefferson County Speedway in Fairbury, Neb., followed by a yet-to-be-announced event on July 19 and Tuesday Night Thunder at Red Dirt Raceway in Meeker, Okla.
The newly-christened Eastern Midget Week has expanded beyond the state of Pennsylvania for the first time in its six-year existence, although the Keystone state still possesses four of the five nights beginning at Grandview Speedway (Bechtelsville) on August 4, Action Track USA (Kutztown) on August 5, New Jersey’s Bridgeport Speedway debuts on August 6, with the last pair of nights going back to Pennsylvania for Path Valley Speedway Park (Spring Run) on August 7 and Lanco’s Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway (Newmanstown) on August 8.
Missouri’s Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex has expanded to back-to-back nights on Labor Day weekend, September 4-5, as has Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, which has added a full midget show to Friday night’s 4-Crown Nationals festivities, followed by another round on Saturday at the famed half-mile dirt oval.
October takes the series to two tracks which witnessed two barnburner shows in 2019, Wayne County Speedway in Wayne City, Ill. for the Jason Leffler Memorial on October 9, followed by the Harvest Cup on October 10 at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind.
November of 2019 was the busiest stretch out west in the history of USAC National Midget racing. In 2020, the schedule gets even busier beginning with two nights of the 53rd Western World Championships at Arizona Speedway on November 13-14. Bakersfield (Calif.) Speedway moves to a new Tuesday night slot on November 17 while the Hangtown 100, which debuted with much fanfare last month at California’s Placerville Speedway, has expanded from two to three nights for 2020 on November 19-20-21. The 80th edition of the prestigious Turkey Night Grand Prix returns to the seaside oval of California’s Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving night on November 26.

THE IHRA AND APARTHEID ISRAEL
Category: Against Imperialism,Combined struggles for Emancipation, Liberation and National Self-Determination,How they are organised,UK state/British imperialism,US imperialism — RCN @ 8:08 pm
We are posting three pieces following the Labour Party’s adoption of the IHTA statement on Anti-Semitism. the first is by Moshe Machover, founder member of the socialist Matzpen Party in Israel, who successfully resisted a joint Zionist and Labour Right attempt to have him expelled from the Labour Party. The second is by a Shahd Abuslama, a Palestinian artist at Sheffield University. The third is a statement from Radical Independence Campaign’s Edinburgh branch.
1. WHY ISRAEL IS A RACIST STATE
Moshe Machover
That Israel is a racist state is a well-established fact. On July On July 19 2018, it enacted a quasi-constitutional nationality bill – ‘Basic law: Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people’ – which has been widely condemned as institutionalising discrimination against Israel’s non-Jewish citizens. As many have observed, this law merely codifies and formalises a reality that long predates it.(1) Continue reading “THE IHRA AND APARTHEID ISRAEL”

SCOTLAND IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE REFERENDUM
Category: Against Unionism,Combined struggles for Emancipation, Liberation and National Self-Determination,England,How they are organised,Scotland,The EU,UK state/British imperialism — RCN @ 5:36 pm
Eric Chester warns of the dangers of linking a call for Scottish independence with support for the EU.
In Scotland, the result of the recent referendum has reinforced the widespread belief that its political framework is significantly different from that of the rest of the UK. As the UK as a whole voted to leave the EU, Scotland voted by a substantial majority to remain. This result has provided an impetus to the call for a second independence referendum.

Category: How they are organised,How we organise,The EU,The global economy,UK state/British imperialism — RCN @ 3:19 pm
The RCN has been debating the EU referendum both amongst ourselves and in wider arenas. Here Murdo Ritchie provides an argument in favour of voting ‘Leave’. This was first posted as a Comment after the article by Allan Armstrong at:- http://republicancommunist.org/blog/2016/07/03/an-open-letter-to-lexiters/
This is followed by an extensive commentary by Steve Freeman (RSA and LUP)
1, IF NOT NOW – WHEN?
Firstly, I was always clear about what the issues were in this Referendum. The issues in the forthcoming referendum have little to do with wider issues such as immigration, European unity, greater trade and economic co-operation, more mobility, and the right to work and study in other European countries, but are:-

JUNE 24th – THE FUKers’ BLACK FRIDAY OR RED FRIDAY FOR A EUROPEAN DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION?

Allan Armstrong, who first became politically active in 1968, gives his political assessment of the political situation in the aftermath of the June 23d EU referendum. Allan is on the Editorial Board of Emancipation & Liberation, a supporter of the Republican Socialist Alliance, the Radical Independence Campaign and, in the ‘Spirit of 68’, a dissident member of the SSP and RISE.
The International Revolutionary Wave from 1968-75, encompassing the world from Vietnam to Paris, was contained. However, a group of socialists helped to put some new life into the possibility of a social order beyond the discredited models of Social Democracy and official Communism. Sadly today, we have one of 1968’s leading proponents, Tariq Ali, in his role as a prominent Lexiter, reacting to the situation created by the EU referendum more in the manner of the French CP in 1968, diverting a potential European Democratic Revolution on to the path of national reformism. Today this can only reinforce the Right across Europe. However, others of Allan’s generation, including Bernadette Devlin/McAliskey, have seen a very different potential in the current situation.
It is to be hoped that the short-lived International Revolutionary Wave of 2011, encompassing the ‘Arab Spring’ and the Indignados of Greece and Spain, will prove to be a 1905 International Revolutionary Wave-style prelude to a new revolutionary wave. For the moment the 2011 wave has ebbed back to the communities of resistance in Palestine and Kobane, and to the electoralism of Syriza and Podemos.
Allan’s contribution is based on a talk he gave at the Edinburgh RISE circle on June 28th and has been extended, updated and written in the form of an appeal from a member of the 1968 generation to those of the new young 2011 generation.
(* FUKers are supporters of a ‘Free UK’. They stretch from the Fascist and Loyalist Far Right, through the Right populist UKIP to the reactionary Right Tories.)

RACISM, IMPERIAL NOSTALGIA AND THE EU REFERENDUM
Category: How they are organised,The crisis on the Left,The EU,The global economy,UK state/British imperialism — RCN @ 7:59 pm
Below are two related articles and a letter which examine the mounting tide of racism in the EU referendum and relate it to Britain’s imperial legacy. The first is by Brendan McGeever who is a member of RISE and currently a lecturer in the Sociology of Racialisation and Anti-Semitism. The second is second by Nadine El-Enany is Lecturer in Law. Both work at Birkbeck College, University of London. The letter is written by John Tummon of the Republican Socialist Alliance.
1. RACISM AND THE EU REFERENDUM: A STATE OF EMERGENCY
“Waiting for Lexit is to be the frog in that cautionary tale — the one that sits in boiling water until it is too late.”
The EU referendum has transformed British politics. In just a matter of weeks a devastatingly rightward shift has become evident. It is a shift defined, above all, by the politics of race and nation.

Gavin Bowd’s book Fascist Scotland, Caledonia and the Far Right has given succour to unionist opponents of Scottish self-determination. Allan Armstrong (RCN) provides a republican and international socialist critique.
WHAT THE FUK?
Fascist UK, Britannia and the Far Right
1) What is a fascist organisation?
Gavin Bowd’s book, Fascist Scotland, Caledonia and the Far Right, contains a lot of useful material about far right writings, culture and organisation in Scotland since the 1920s. However, Bowd does not define what he means by fascism, nor distinguish it from other forms of reactionary or right populist politics. These often invoke similar chauvinist, ethnic or racist themes. The purpose behind Bowd’s lack of clarity over the political basis of fascism only emerges gradually.

Republican Network for Unity accept invite from Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network to attend talk in London.
Republican Network for Unity attended a talk in the SOAS theatre London on Tuesday 17th April , this talk was organised by the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network along with others.
Titled ‘ 100 years of fighting against Zionism, colonialism and imperialism.
This event was well attended and very informative. The speakers on the night gave a very detailed insight to what our Palestinian comrades face on a daily basis in their struggle to liberate and free Palestine.
Leading Palestinian activist Khaled Barakat spoke on how a movement can be built to assist in the fight to help free Ahmed Sa’adat and all Palestinian Political Prisoners. Other speakers on the night included Ben Geraghty of the Revolutionary Communist Group and Charlotte Kate’s of Samidoun.
Below is the text of a statement read at the event by RNU activist Benny Morgan in solidarity with Ahmed Sa’adat and all Palestinian Political Prisoners.
Message of Solidarity with Ahmed Sa’adat and the Palestine People by the Republican Network for Unity, SOAS London, April 17, 2018
The Republican Network of Unity sends solidarity greetings to Ahmad Sa’adat, the General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, his family, and all Palestinian political prisoners held in Zionist jails in the Middle East and abroad. While we, the Republican Network for Unity, support all Palestinian political prisoners, we particularly call for the immediate release of Ahmad Sa’adat, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, and Ahed Tamimi.
Ahmad Sa’adat is a symbol for the most progressive and revolutionary forces in the Middle East. This is the very reason why Sa’adat is interned by the Zionist forces.
The fight of the Palestinian people against the Israeli Zionist occupation and oppression is highly supported in Ireland. Throughout the 20th century, the Arab people and the Irish people have fought a similar struggle against imperialist interference, partition, and oppression in our homelands. In the 1970s, the United Nations facilitated the first direct contacts between the Irish Republican Movement and PLO. Since then, the common struggles of our people have united us in our political activism.
However, in recent decades, sections of the revolutionary people’s movement in our countries have made arrangements with the forces occupying, dividing, and imprisoning our people. Under those circumstances, the progressive, secular, and truly revolutionary forces in our countries are small but the tasks are even bigger.
As the tragic events in Gaza over the past few weeks have shown us, the Israeli aggressors are not reluctant to use lethal force on a wide scale against suffering people. In this situation, it is our task to support the revolutionary forces that fight against this aggression in defence of her people.
Thus, we want to thank the organisers of today’s event for inviting the Republican Network for Unity and giving us the chance to deliver this message of solidarity. We hope that we can use this event to build strong links of solidarity between our movement and the Palestinian liberation movement.
The Republican Network for Unity celebrated its tenth anniversary in autumn 2017. However, the past twelve months have seen important changes for our organisation. In the past months, we embarked on a new road. This new road shall build our organisation as a relevant and vital community organisation throughout Ireland.
We consider the years 2017 and 2018 as a new beginning for our movement. One part of this new beginning is establishing strong and vital links to people and organisations fighting oppression, imperialism, and political imprisonment worldwide. Therefore, we offer our hand of solidarity to all international groups and individuals who are currently fighting imperialism, colonialism, and oppression.
As the recent imperialist bombings of Syria, Yemen, and many other countries have sadly proven, imperialism is a well-connected international system. This international system of oppression cannot be defeated either in Palestine or in Ireland alone. The same way imperialist powers are united against the people, revolutionary forces all over the world need to unite in their fight against imperialism and oppression. We can only be victorious if we organise worldwide!
In the past centuries, Ireland has suffered more than her fair share of oppression.
Today, there are still Irish people imprisoned for their political convictions. Some of the prisoners are members of our movement and represented by the Irish Republican prisoners group Cogús.
While we unconditionally support the release of all Palestinian political prisoners, we ask our international comrades also to support the release of all Irish Republican prisoners, in particular the Craigavon 2 and Tony Taylor.
The tasks for revolutionaries in Ireland and Palestine in the 21st century are enormous and the forces of our enemies seem overwhelmingly. But we are convinced that if we build strong links of friendship between our people, together we shall be victorious! Long live international solidarity! Freedom for Ahmad Sa’adat!

Huskies Come Close, But Fall To No. 1 Arizona
With 3:38 remaining and Washington trailing 60-58, the Huskies had an opportunity for a victory over a No. 1 team for the first time since 2004 and just the second in program history. But Arizona went on an 11-3 run to end Saturday’s game in Tucson, spoiling what could have been an epic day in UW basketball history.
As it was, Washington played Arizona tougher, losing 71-62, than anyone could have imagined. The Wildcats’ size and athleticism prevailed against a UW team compromised by the loss of Shawn Kemp Jr. to fouls early in the second half, four personals incurred by Perris Blackwell and sloppy execution in the stretch.
“They are really a good team and they have a lot of long players,” said Blackwell. “Sometimes, size can just beat you.”
Turnovers and defensive lapses had more to do with Washington’s loss than Arizona’ size advantage, but the Huskies gave the Wildcats all they wanted, racing to a 35-33 halftime lead.
Washington led 52-51 with 10:01 left before consecutive dunks by Nick Johnson sent the Wildcats ahead to stay. Washington remained within three to five points until the final three minutes, unable to re-establish momentum. Arizona, which denied C.J. Wilcox good looks at the basket down the stretch, extended its lead at the end largely through foul shots.
“I can’t fault the effort at all, and I’m proud of our guys and how they hung in there,” said coach Lorenzo Romar. “We were mentally tough in a large portion of the game. But if you make mistakes against that team, they are going to make you pay. We just didn’t execute in the second half the way we needed to and the game got away from us.
“They scored 20 points off of our turnovers. If we had taken better care of the basketball, we might be talking about a victory here. But we just couldn’t finish the deal. This is definitely something we can build on. We can defend and get shots. If we can keep duplicating this kind of effort, then I like what we’re going to do.”
Wilcox led with 20 points, probably the toughest 20 he’s scored all season given Johnson’s defense. Blackwell contributed 12 points and 12 rebounds in his best showing of the season. Kemp added nine points and three rebounds off the bench, all in the first half. His second-half absence was a big reason Arizona ultimately took control inside.
The Huskies hoped to stay in the game with a 3-point barrage, but instead made just 2 of 12, both by Wilcox. They had success attacking Arizona’s half-court defense and getting good shots in transition. Washington also rebounded with Arizona, collecting 34 to 38 for the Wildcats, the NCAA leader in rebound margin. But 15 turnovers negated a lot of the good work.
Johnson led the Wildcats with 24 points and Aaron Gordon posted a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Nigel Williams-Goss, who finished with nine points and four assists, started it off for Washington with a 12-foot jumper and the Huskies led until the 11:59 mark when Rondae Hollis-Jefferson dunked to put the Wildcats ahead 16-15. Washington grew sloppy, committing four of its 10 first-half turnovers (Arizona scored 13 off those miscues) and Arizona raced away to a 27-21 lead.
It appeared the Wildcats would run away, but the Huskies stormed back to lead 35-33 at the half, taking the lead on a Williams-Goss floater in the lane. The most surprising stat of the first 20 minutes: Washington outrebounded Arizona 17-12.
Washington also played some of its best defense, holding Arizona to 39.9 shooting while hitting 55.6 percent.
NOTES: Washington is 2-28 all-time against No. 1-ranked teams. It last beat a No. 1 March 6, 2004, knocking off Stanford . . . Washington is 9-6 and 1-1 in the Pac-12 . . . Wilcox has 15 or more points in a game in 17 consecutive contests, the longest streak by any player in the Romar era . . . The Huskies play their Pac-12 home opener at 8 p.m. Wednesday against the University of Utah. The Huskies host Colorado Sunday.

This is the #1 team in the nation the Dawgs were facing. They were in for a long day but they hung in there. That being said again the came out for the second half rather sluggish. I’d like to see them find an identity for that. Either step it up with a harassing defense or an aggressive, running offense to keep their opponents off balance. I’m not going to say they are Final Four material but the last two games show promise.

In California, Foster dad pleads not guilty in Solano County | Shaken Baby Syndrome
Following an earlier order to stand trial on charges of murder and felony child abuse reportedly related to the death of an infant in 2010, a Suisun City foster father pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in Solano County Superior Court.
After a four-day probable-cause hearing last month, Judge E. Bradley Nelson reportedly ruled that there was sufficient evidence to order Reginald Tanubagijo to stand trial in relation to the death of a 3-month-old boy in his care that he had named Buddy.
On Wednesday, Tanubagijo reportedly entered his not guilty pleas to both counts and a jury trial date was set for Oct. 10. The proceedings focused heavily on testimony from medical experts who opined that the baby's injuries were not consistent with an accidental fall.
A Suisun City police officer reportedly responded to Tanubagijo's Youngstown Lane home on Nov. 29, 2010, after hearing a medical dispatch for a baby choking on milk. After performing CPR, medical personnel transported the baby to NorthBay Medical Center in Fairfield, where a CT scan revealed a possible head injury. Buddy was transported to Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland the following day and died after being taken off life support a week later.
Two experts reportedly called to testify by prosecuting Deputy District Attorney Terry Ray noted that the severe retinal hemorrhaging that doctors observed in the child's eyes was consistent with abusive head trauma, formerly known as shaken baby syndrome.

In Idaho, Stanfield must serve at least 10 years in prison for child's 2009 death | Shaken Baby Syndrome
A 59-year-old Boise woman who was reportedly found guilty of causing fatal injuries to a 2.5-year-old boy who was left in her care in late 2009 was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday afternoon in Boise's Fourth District Court.
Prosecutors reportedly asked for life with 30 years fixed, but Judge Ronald J. Wilper sentenced her to life in prison, saying she must serve 10 years before asking for parole. She was given credit for 93 days served.
Wilper reportedly also ordered her to pay $19,000 in restitution.
Stanfield reportedly opted not to speak in court Tuesday. Instead, she had public defender Ed Odessey read a written statement.
In the statement, Stanfield offered sympathy — but no apology — for the death of the boy who was in her care. She also did not admit any guilt in causing injuries to the boy, saying that "I would never cause harm on anyone or anything, as that is not who I am."
On June 4, an Ada County jury found Stanfield guilty of first-degree murder for the death of Wyatt Fesler, the son of her daughter's boyfriend.
Fesler was at Stanfield's home daycare in Boise on Dec. 11, 2009.
Paramedics were called to the home, and the boy was found unresponsive. He died two days later.
A prosecutor reportedly told the jury during closing arguments in June that forensic evidence clearly showed that Wyatt died from abusive head trauma — the kind that occurs when someone is upset, grabs a toddler from behind and violently shoves the child's head into a hard object.
The prosecutor reportedly said that medical tests found that Wyatt had fresh impact injuries to his forehead, mouth and under the chin, along with evidence of hand marks on his shoulders. There was evidence of older bruising on the boy, consistent with previous abuse.
Stanfield and her family, who have reportedly maintained her innocence since her arrest in 2010, said Wyatt was prone to holding his breath and to fainting. His fatal injuries likely occurred when he fell and hit his head, they said.

In Minnesota, Trial date set for Austin man in abuse case | Shaken Baby Syndrome
A trial date is reportedly set for an Austin man accused of abusing his one-year-old son in July 2011.
James John Mentz, 23, has reportedly pleaded not guilty to first-degree assault causing great bodily harm.
A complaint said his son, who was four months old at the time, reportedly suffered abusive head trauma under Mentz's care.
The complaint goes on to say the child has reportedly had increasing seizure activity since then, and is currently sedated on a ventilator.
Mentz reportedly claimed in the complaint a fall caused his son's injuries.
His trial is set for August 27 in Mower County District Court.

In Wisconsin, Appeals court upholds baby sitter conviction | Shaken Baby Syndrome
A Wisconsin appeals court has reportedly upheld the homicide conviction of a Madison-area baby sitter for causing the death of an infant in her care in 2007.
The Fourth District Court of Appeals on Thursday reportedly ruled that Jennifer Hancock was properly convicted of first-degree reckless homicide in the death of 4-month-old Lincoln Wilber.
An autopsy reportedly concluded the boy died from non-accidental abusive head trauma.
Hancock appealed, reportedly arguing that prosecutors should not have been allowed to cross-examine her expert witness about articles pertaining to infant trauma written by people not present at the trial.
The appeals court reportedly says any error in allowing questioning about the articles was harmless.
Hancock was reportedly the only adult caring for the child in a Verona home when he suffered a head injury.

In Hawaii, Ex-Marine in HI pleads not guilty in son's death | Shaken Baby Syndrome
A former Hawaii Marine and his girlfriend reportedly accused of letting their 14-month-old son die after his skull was fractured have been released on $25,000 bail.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Song says David Lonergan and Tracy Mattos reportedly pleaded not guilty on Monday to involuntary manslaughter in the death of Zayden Lonergan.
Song says their trial has been set for Jan. 15.
The indictment reportedly alleges the couple didn't immediately get medical treatment for the child in February 2011. The infant was rushed to a Hawaii base fire station and remained unconscious until he died.
The Honolulu medical examiner's office reportedly ruled the death a homicide, with the cause of death "complications of cranial cerebral injuries due to abusive head trauma."

The Fresno woman reportedly charged with killing her 1-month-old foster child two years ago was known to be having problems in her home prior to her daughter's death.
Just days before foster parent Jovannee Reynolds reportedly took her daughter to the hospital, where the infant died of shaken-baby syndrome, a county social worker had visited Reynolds' apartment and found her second foster child, a 3-year-old boy, badly bruised, according to records obtained by The Bee.
Follow-up county and police reports reportedly suggest that Reynolds may have abused the boy.
The boy and the baby girl reportedly remained in Reynolds' home, however, until three days after the visit -- when the girl was hospitalized because of alleged abuse by the mother, the records show.
While no one is reportedly blaming county social workers for not doing more to curtail the abuse, Mikayla's ensuing death and the events preceding it are posing questions for a foster-care system that has seen problems in the past.
Today Reynolds, now 25, is reportedly scheduled to appear in court to answer to charges of assaulting and murdering her infant foster child, Mikayla Tabin. Reynolds also is charged with abusing her foster son, whose name is withheld in county documents because of his age.
County Supervisor Henry Perea, after reportedly learning that social workers had observed problems in Reynolds' home before Mikayla was hospitalized, said he would seek a complete accounting of the actions of the county Department of Social Services, which runs the local foster-care system.
"It's always a tragedy when we lose a child in our community," Perea said. "The county needs to sit down and see how we can increase our checks and balances to make sure children are protected."
The Department of Social Services declined to comment on the case. Reynolds' attorney did not return phone calls from The Bee.
The visit by social workers to Reynolds' home shortly before Mikayla's death is revealed in Mikayla's case files requested by The Bee under open-records laws.
On Sept. 10, 2010, at least one social worker visited Reynolds' central Fresno apartment, where she lived with her husband, Randall Reynolds. The social worker observed bruises on her foster son's face, forearms and back, according to the records.
Reynolds admitted to physically restraining her foster son, the records show, to prevent him from "self-injury," which may mean the bruises were self-inflicted. The report on the visit provides little explanation.
But a follow-up report, completed by the Department of Social Services nine months later, cites the bruises as evidence in alleging that Reynolds abused both children.
The boy was reportedly removed from Reynolds' care just after Mikayla was hospitalized on Sept. 13, 2010, according to police reports.
Mikayla was reportedly taken to Children's Hospital Central California when Reynolds recognized that her child was having trouble breathing, the records show.
Mikayla died Sept. 20. Investigators later concluded that the cause of death was shaken-baby syndrome, a condition associated with brain damage from violent shaking.
Reynolds was reportedly arrested March 17, 2011. Her husband was not arrested nor charged with a crime. Reynolds, if convicted, faces at least 25 years in prison. The couple's foster care license has been revoked.
The couple, who reportedly had no children of their own, were new to the foster care system, applying to be foster parents in April 2010 and licensed in July, according to the records.
Their first foster child, the 3-year-old boy, was reportedly placed with them Aug. 9, 2010, the records show. Another child, whose name and age is not identified, was placed with the couple Aug. 20 but returned to family members a few days later.
Mikayla, who was born Aug. 25, reportedly arrived at the couple's home at 5 days old, according to the records. Her biological mother had tested positive for methamphetamines and had a long history of drug use, the records show.
The nearly two-year delay in the court proceedings against Reynolds is due to a long criminal investigation and scheduling conflicts of attorneys. She has been free on bail.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. today.
Mikayla's plight is not isolated. Shortly before Mikayla's death another girl suffered brain damage while in foster care, a case that ended with a county settlement of $325,000 for negligence, according to county officials.
Two years earlier another foster child reportedly died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. The coroner's office ruled the death a natural death, but the biological parents suspected foul play.
Social services managers have reportedly long said they employ strict checks of foster parents to ensure child safety. They also have said that finding enough qualified parents can be challenging.

In Florida, Former day care owner Spurgeon gets 15 years in baby's death | Shaken Baby Syndrome
A former Palm Harbor home day care provider was reportedly sentenced today to 15 years in prison in the death of a baby in her care. Stephanie Spurgeon was found guilty of manslaughter in February.
Spurgeon reportedly ran a daycare out of her home in the Deep Spring subdivision. On Aug. 1, 2008, the grandmother of 1-year-old Maria Harris picked her up after her first day at the home, to find Harris limp and not acting normally.
Maria reportedly died soon after.
Through tears, grandmother Pat Harris reportedly said: "I loved that baby so much. I would've gladly died in her place."
Judge Cynthia Newton reportedly said the jury spent almost 24 hours deliberating on this case. "That's longer than any other trial I've had," she said.
"Considering all the circumstances and testimony, the only just sentence in this case would be the 15-year maximum."
During the trial, medical evidence about "shaken baby syndrome" was reportedly presented. The prosecution presented doctors that testified Maria Harris had been thrown onto a bed or shaken very hard.
Spurgeon's defense team reportedly countered that nobody saw their client hurt the child, and the infant's injuries could have happened long before being dropped off at the day care center.

In Michigan, Disabled child’s family worried about lost services | Shaken Baby Syndrome
When he was six weeks old, Ben Zentz was reportedly the victim of “shaken baby syndrome,” leaving him with severe lifelong disabilities.
Though he will reportedly turn 9 years old on Aug. 16, his cognitive age is about 12 months.
He reportedly needs constant care, and as a result of being shaken to the point his skull was fractured, Ben has cerebral palsy, is blind and has a seizure disorder, said his adoptive mother, Debi Zentz. Debi and her husband, Phil, of Shelby Township adopted Ben when he was two.
Many people with disabilities reportedly fear they might lose services because of proposed Medicaid cuts under an austere plan by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. Ryan just was named as vice presidential candidate by Mitt Romney.
The Michigan Department of Community Mental Health reportedly lost $37 million in funding, according to a June 14, 2010 news release, but since has had a 4.2 percent appropriations gain of $49.6 million to lift the budget to $1.2 billion.
Federal funds reportedly provide money for CMH budgets in Michigan through Medicaid. Ben receives medical care under Children’s Special Healthcare, funded by CMH.
The Zentzes worry Ben reportedly will lose any gains he has made because Macomb County Community Mental Health basically has eliminated most of his therapies.
In a July 30, 2012 letter to the Zentz family, Tracy Dunton of MCCMH reportedly wrote: “Medical necessity for these services (to Ben) above what the school could provide has yet to be determined.”
Debi reportedly said Ben’s occupational and speech therapy were terminated at the end of April and they fear his physical therapy also will be cut.
She reportedly notes, however, Ben is unable to go to school because of his multiple disabilities so the basis for denial of what a school can provide is not valid.

In Florida, Father sentenced to prison in son's shaken-baby syndrome death | Shaken Baby Syndrome
A man reportedly accused of fatally injuring his 8-week-old son in 2010 was sentenced to more than two decades in prison on Friday.
Alfonso Tapia-Lopez, 31, reportedly pleaded no contest to second-degree murder last month. Investigators said his son, Alfonso Angelo Tapia, suffered brain injuries consistent with shaken-baby syndrome while in Tapia-Lopez's care in October 2010.
The child reportedly died at a local hospital. Tapia-Lopez was arrested later that month on a bus in Louisiana. Authorities said he was in the United States illegally, and may have been attempting to flee the country.
He was reportedly sentenced Friday to 22 years in state prison, with credit for almost two years served in the Orange County Jail. He will be deported upon his completion of the sentence.
In Pennsylvania, Father charged with homicide in infant's death | Shaken Baby Syndrome
A New Brighton man was reportedly charged with criminal homicide today in the death of his 2-month-old daughter last month.
Robert Heibert, had originally been charged with aggravated assault reportedly, but New Brighton police and Beaver County detectives reportedly withdrew the original charges after reviewing results of an autopsy performed by the Allegheny County Coroner's office, according to a New Brighton police report.
Heibert reportedly admitted to police that he shook and spanked Melanie Alexander, born May 10, before she died on July 26.
The police report reportedly said Alexander died of “severe brain trauma” and doctors at UPMC Children’s Hospital told police her injuries were consistent with those found in shaken baby syndrome.
Heibert reportedly told police the child was crying and he shook her with such force that her chin struck her chest in a whiplash-like motion. When emergency response professionals were summoned to Heibert’s residence, they found Alexander without a heartbeat, according to the report.
The Allegheny County Coroner’s office, after performing an autopsy on July 27, reportedly listed homicide as the cause of Alexander’s death, according to police.
Heibert is reportedly in the Beaver County Jail, according to online records.

Russian River Ride Success | First Annual Benefit Ride
Everyone -
Wanted to thank you all for your support of my law firm's First Annual Russian River Ride to benefit Child Abuse Prevention Programs. 7 cyclists, myself included, rode over 160 miles and climbed 11,600 feet this past weekend from San Francisco to the Russian River - and back...with 5 miles of kayaking mixed in on our down day......And we raised almost $15,000.00 to date - with more coming in.
We laughed, we crashed, we blew out tires and we certainly ached after climbing Mt. Tam - but it was all worth it, and we'll be doing it on an annual basis until I can peddle no more.
Be well...and again, thanks....

In Oregon, 500 hats pledged for Click for Babies | Shaken Baby Syndrome
Close Knit is having a summer sale Saturday, Aug. 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Aug. 5, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. On their blog, they report: "There will be a store-wide discount on all books, patterns, and needles in the shop. We will also have many beautiful yarns around the shop tagged at an even more significant discount, including our famous super sale table." And if that doesn't get your crafty heart racing, their neighbor, the fabric store Bolt, is also having a sale this weekend. Their blog says all products will be 20 percent off, and all currently marked down items will be an additional 10 percent off. Close Knit is at 2140 N.E. Alberta St. in Portland.
Need a use for all that sale yarn? Our pals at Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuelemailed us to let us know how their July 26 kickoff for Click for Babies 2012 went. The hospital launched its campaign to combat shaken baby syndrome through educating people about the period of PURPLE crying many kiddos go through. As part of the education, new parents get a handmade purple infant hat as a visual reminder of PURPLE crying and a reminder of how to handle it safely.
Here are the details from the kickoff:
More than 100 people showed up.
The event had four hours of knitting lessons. (Great way to get new knitters/crocheters into the fold, by the way, and not a bad way to take the leap into circular knitting if you've never tried it. Believe me, once you go seamless, you'll never want to knit things flat again.)
More than 100 skeins of donated yarn were distributed, along with oodles of patterns for baby hats.
People pledged 500 hats to the drive. Last year Oregon knitters and crocheters supplied the drive with more than 5,000 hats, and it'd be great if we could top that this year. They're collecting hats through October, so we've got time to get clicking. (So far I've got 4.5 hats made, and really, the most difficult thing about making them is resisting the urge to try them on the cats. Pip and Liam, my two black kitties, are adorable, and the hats are adorable, too. Put 'em together they'd either be a cuteness supernova or a demonstration of how effectively an angry cat can shred his owner. So I'm restraining myself. Well, there's the whole baby-hats-can't-have-cat-hair-in-them thing, too.)
Happy shopping/knitting! Remember, it's never too hot to knit! Especially something tiny and portable like a baby hat!
An unidentified Visalia infant was reportedly in critical condition after suffering internal injuries consistent with shaken baby syndrome Wednesday, police said.
The baby, less than a 1 year old, was reportedly taken to Kaweah Delta Medical Center after police, fire and ambulance personnel responded to a home in the east Visalia. Bryan Mark Hvass, 37, was arrested in connection with the infant’s injuries. Hvass was booked into the Tulare County Main Jail on suspicion of felony Child Abuse.
In Texas, Mother testifies in trial of man accused in beating | Shaken Baby Syndrome
The mother of a baby reportedly diagnosed with bleeding in the brain testified Tuesday that she saw no injuries on the 14 month old before leaving her at the home of the man accused of causing those injuries.
The testimony reportedly came on the first day of the trial for Brian Fredzell Pringle, 44, accused of shaking a 14-month-old female baby in September and causing a subdural hematoma, or bleeding on the brain. The child, who had to be air lifted to Children's Medical Center of Dallas from East Texas Medical Center on Sept. 5, suffers paralysis on one side of her body, and had a retinal hemorrhage, prosecutors said Tuesday in opening statements.
The trial is reportedly taking place in the Smith County 114th District Court. Pringle faces up to life in prison if convicted of injury to a child, a first-degree felony, prosecutors said.
The 21-year-old mother reportedly told the jury that she bathed her baby on two separate occasions on Friday before dropping the child off at Pringle's home on the night of Sept. 4. The mother, who attended a family reunion with the child prior to leaving the baby with Pringle, testified that her daughter was "acting normally" that night and had no injuries on her body.
The mother testified, reportedly in response to questioning from prosecutor Whitney Tharpe, that her baby was learning to walk and frequently fell down the night of the family reunion. "She tripped and hit her head on a folding metal chair (Sept. 4) and fell off of a porch," the mother said.
Ms. Tharpe reportedly asked the mother when she next saw her baby after she was left with Pringle. "At the hospital," the mother replied, referring to ETMC. The mother testified that her baby was "just laying there" when she saw her at the hospital. The mother asked to hold her daughter and she did so for about 15 minutes before nurses told her that they had to airlift the child.
In opening statements, Smith County Assistant District Attorney Jacob Putnam, explained that Pringle was taking care of the baby, who was a relative, on Sept. 5, when he ran to a neighbor who was returning to her home from work. Pringle told the neighbor, Cassandra Wheeler, that the child had suffered a seizure.
But when Ms. Wheeler reportedly called for emergency help, Pringle took the baby back to his home, saying he didn't think it was necessary to call an ambulance.
Several emergency medical technicians from the Tyler Fire Department reportedly testified that when they arrived at the scene, they could not get Pringle to answer the door at his home. When Pringle did open the door and allow the technicians inside, he told them that he and his wife had taken the baby to a high school football game on Sept. 4, the night before, and that the baby had grabbed her head once, yelling in pain.
The technicians reportedly testified that they saw the baby lying on a bed, and that although she was breathing, she was unresponsive.

In Nevada, 2 charged in child abuse death | Shaken Baby Syndrome
Six years after a 2-month-old boy was reportedly severely injured, his mother and her then-boyfriend are behind bars.
They are reportedly now accused of murder and child abuse.
It was one year ago Wednesday that Brayden Bork died from injuries he suffered as an infant. Police believe Edward Thompson shook Brayden violently.
"If we can learn one thing from this tragic case, it's that not everyone is fit to be a parent," said Officer Laura Meltzer with Metro police.
Police reportedly got a break after six years, largely due to information provided by a new witness.
Thompson, 32, and the child's mother, Monique Bork, 26, are reportedly now charged with Brayden's death.
"No matter how trivial it seems, if you know something about it, say something. That may be the piece of the puzzle that puts it all together," Meltzer said.
In August of 2006 Monique Bork reportedly brought her son to Sunrise Hospital where doctors discovered abusive head trauma consistent with shaken baby syndrome. She told investigators a toy had fallen on him a few weeks prior and that no one would hurt her baby.
"They can tell if it's shaken baby syndrome or some trauma to the head," said family physician Dr. Daliah Wachs.
Wachs reportedly said even small injuries to an infant can lead to major problems down the road. Brayden became legally blind and suffered from cerebral palsy.
"For this child to have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the 2-month mark, that means the injury must have been extremely severe," said Wachs.
The child reportedly went to a foster family and was later adopted but died last July.
A friend told investigators that at one point Monique Bork called her and said, "Something's not right (with my child). Can you just come over?"
The friend reportedly said that Monique Bork later confessed that the child had been shaken.
That friend recently came forward as a witness because she had reportedly been of the impression that Thompson was already jailed for this. Now he is.
Metro police reportedly said Thompson has an extensive criminal background.
Thompson and Monique Bork are reportedly charged with murder and child abuse. Thompson faces an additional charge of neglect.

Qaradawi refuses to participate in interfaith conference with Jews
Youssef Qaradawi is often referred to here as the most important leader of the global Muslim Brotherhood
Qaradawi Organization Posts Claim That Jews Are “Fifth Column”
Hamas Leader Says No Recognition Of Israel
When we talked about “starvation,” we meant plasma TVs and Café Latte
The 8th Annual Doha Conference on Interfaith Dialogue is to start tomorrow, but prominent Islamic Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi is boycotting the conference, according to Palestine Today.
The reason? Because there will be Jews there!
He participated in the first, second and third conferences because they were centered on Muslim/Christian dialogue. But he refuses to participate when Jews attend, quoting the Koran 29:46 [“The Spider”], “Do not argue with People of the Book….” [the verse goes on to make an exception of certain types of arguments, and then an exception to the exception, against those Jews who “oppress,” if I am parsing the verse correctly.]
Qaradawi said, “So why should we dialogue with the Jews, who… shed blood, and violated the sanctities, and burned farms, and destroyed homes… .. to sit with them on a single platform?”
The article does not say “Zionist Jews” but merely “Jews.” Â He has met with the Neturei Karta in the past, though.
The rest of the Koranic verse makes clear that Islamic “dialogue” with other “divine” religions is limited to telling them about Islam. Which makes it more like a monologue.
Even so, credulous non-Muslims keep thinking that there is value in these fake one-way “dialogues.”

Dutch Queen Rejects Election Results
July 9, 2010 sheikyermami 5 Comments
Dutch Queen Beatrix does not like Member of Parliament Geert Wilders, the winner of the recent elections in the Netherlands; she is attempting to prevent the formation of a right-wing coalition that includes him.
The maneuvers to exclude Mr. Wilders have angered ordinary Dutchmen. Asked to comment on television, many voters could be heard complaining, “What is the use of going to vote when we are not listened to anyway?”
“The elite of the Left and the regents absolutely want to avoid the risk of a cabinet with Wilders,” writes Prof. Ellian. “Wilders has been preliminarily excluded without the elite even considering negotiations with him.” Ellian further points out that this is not just an injustice to Mr. Wilders, but also to his 1.5 million voters “who have been excluded from an important political process without as much as one relevant argument.”
Dutch Establishment Rejects Election Results (Hudson New York via TROP)
June’s general elections in the Netherlands resulted in a clear victory for the right. The Dutch Constitution, however, grants the Queen the power to appoint a person (or persons) of her choice to initiate and direct negotiations for the formation of a government coalition. By appointing the Labor politician Herman Tjeenk Willink to the position of formation facilitator, the Queen has made it clear that she wants a coalition that includes the Labor Party and excludes the Freedom Party of Geert Wilders.
An opinion poll taken last week shows that the Christian-Democrats would fall to the historic low level of 17 seats, while Mr. Wilders’ PVV would become the largest party in the country with 30 seats, ahead of the Liberals (28 seats) and Labor (27 seats).

urban II draft drops criticism of Israel, "defamation of religion" clause
March 18, 2009 sheikyermami 6 Comments
Pressure works, in an update on this story. There will still be an expression of concern about “negative stereotyping of religions,” but of course, there has been no word on how Qur’an 98:6, which calls unbelievers the “vilest of creatures,” factors into this. Or Qur’an 9:30, which claims that Jews call Ezra the son of God. Or 2:62-65, 5:59-60, and 7:166, which call unbelievers apes and pigs. So the double standard is clearly still alive and well.

Today is a day-off
Step Puzzle Company (“Step Puzzle”) is the undoubted leader of the Russian manufacturers of puzzles and developing games for children.
It was started in 1994 as a small business importing puzzles and board games of the leading manufacturers of Western Europe into Russia. Soon colorful “completed pictures” magically made from a variety of separate parts, have become one of the most desired gifts for babies and older kids. Even adults were interested where to buy puzzles seeing an unusual mosaic at their friends and acquaintances.
In 1998, after default, it has become difficult to implement the trading of “imported” goods. Fortunately, a year earlier the management of “Step Puzzle” has managed to develop methods of producing puzzles which differed from foreign. Initially the production was organized in Moscow at the Prozhektor factory and the office space was located on Taganka and on the Enthusiastov highway.
In 2000 Step Puzzle produces puzzles and developing games for children under its own brand. Soon after finishing the individual factory construction in 2008, the company has completely moved to Podolsk city.
A few years later the dynamically developing company has taken its rightful place in the domestic toy industry. Now "Step Puzzle” is a modern company, which produces more than 70 % of Russian puzzles. You can buy board games and puzzles wholesale or retail in the stores of Israel, Czech Republic, most of the North America and CIS countries.
Annually Step Puzzle presents its stand at the international toy exhibition-fairs in Nuremberg (since 2001) and Hong Kong (since 2011).
Daily "Step Puzzle” manufactures about 2000 packages. But where you can buy puzzles? To become an owner of a desired box with the familiar logo known since childhood, just go to the "Perekrestok", "Metro", "Auchan", "Magnit", "Real", "Detskiy Mir", "Zelgros", "Hyperglobus", "Lenta", "O’kay” ... in short, in any of the large chain supermarkets .
Leading psychologists and teachers of the country are actively involved in the development of Step Puzzle production. Variety of puzzles is designed for all age categories. It is no longer a problem to find and buy a board game. But what to choose? You can’t buy all games you like in bulk!
"Step Puzzle" cooperates with licensed agencies with a worldwide reputation. Thanks to this it’s so easy to find a puzzle for everyone in the company's product line. With Disney and Marvel characters for fans of cartoons and comics. With touching bears “Me to you” for young ladies. And even with scenes of the "Soyuzmultfilm" repertoire which have become classic, for those who are not indifferent to retro. Variety of motives suggests buying puzzles in bulk!
A special pride of the company - an exclusive collection series "Russian Museums". Every connoisseur of painting can buy and complete by his own reproductions of works of world famous artists. Do you want to instill unobtrusively your child’s interest in art - present him a puzzle, copying pictures from the Tretyakov Gallery or the Hermitage exhibitions.
The range of Step Puzzle goods, along with traditional puzzles, includes children's games, invented not so long ago: puzzle-books, cubes, 3D- pyramids and puzzle-balls. Looking at the board games, you feel an irresistible desire to return to childhood at least for a day.
“Step Puzzle” goods are of high quality. Carefully designed manufacturing process implies the absence of toxic components in the composition and selection of high quality raw materials.
On our site you will read news of the company and a complete list of the products, get information about new items just entered the market and expected in the near future. You can also order available board games wholesale or retail without leaving your computer.
We are glad to see You among our clients and business partners!
Employees of the “Step Puzzle” company.

Variations might include raisins, macadamia nuts, different types of chocolate, and even chocolate on the top or bottom.
Pie: The American classic of pie is still going strong, and looks to remain so in most of the country. While options vary depending on the country, as do fillings, you can usually find multiple choices for pie in any bakery. Popular options include Apple, blueberry, lemon meringue, key lime, chocolate cream, and cherry, and during the fall, pumpkin. Pies also come in all shapes and sizes, from handheld personal pies you can eat as a snack, to full size 9 to 12″ pies to bring home for desert.
Many St. Louis bakeries have their own specialties and options, and most have their own take on even the most traditional of recipes. With a variety of desserts to choose from including tarts, éclairs, cake, muffins, and more, you can usually find something you will love. One easy way to pick a great dessert in a new bakery is simply asking about the most popular desert item, and then ordering that to try.

From the beginning of the season Nashoba has had one goal: return to states and this time take home the big trophy. A major obstacle was a reunion with their 2013 state finalist rivals, Medfield, in the Central Mass Division 2 finals. There was a lot of buildup about this game with most of the hype focused on Medfield, who is ranked number two in the state, despite two losses in the regular season. A lot of people bought into the Warrior propa-ganda – everyone except the undefeated Chieftains, who toppled the Warriors 57-55 in overtime at Worcester Polytechnic Institute on Saturday afternoon…

Kaleidoscope: An Asian Journey of Colors (nominated for the Pushcart Prize) delves into the implication and philosophy of colors from a Hindu woman’s point of view, from birth until death. The color she adorns herself with almost depicts the story of her life.

Reviews of Kaleidoscope
“Kaleidoscope: An Asian Journey of Colors is rich with imagination. Each poem is neatly polished and most associate one colour with an aspect of an Indian woman’s life.” – Michael Tsang, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal. To read the full review, click here
“This slim chapbook is a quick bite. Poems appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, but linger in consciousness longer than you might think they would. The use of colors is fascinating to the desi mind; we, as one poem remarks, “exist in a hue of experiences.” – Vidya Pradhan, Editor, India Currents.
“Vikram’s wordsmithing is outstanding. I have read much poetry and have never seen such creativeness as that of this author. She allows her words to flow with rhythm and deepness. The wisdom that comes through her is beyond any I’ve seen.” – Irene Watson, Reader Views. To read the full review, click here
“This chapbook is the dazzling display of a poet who teases us with fresh imagery and delicate linguistic craftsmanship.” – Orchid Tierney, Rem Magazine, New Zealand. To read the full review, click here
“In this innovative series, Sweta Srivastava Vikram re-appropriates color. Cultures and mythologies collide along the way, and the result is a chapbook that feels like a quest. In the end, the colors are a map to identity. The child’s pink tonsils or the bride’s red sari are not symbols, but rather mile markers. Like Vikram’s poems, they lead toward understanding.” – Erica Wright, Senior Poetry Editor, Guernica.
“I dove into this book of poems quickly and eagerly, then slowed down to savor the words and the images, marveling over Sweta Srivastava Vikram’s unique mix of grace, humor, and eloquence, which forms a medley of beauty and color.” – Susan Ortlieb, Suko’s Notebook. To read the full review, click here
“Sweta has woven such a spell with her word usage and the symbolisms that the most complex becomes the simplest of all.” – Smita Singh, VAANI, UK. To read the full review, click here
“….there is a bit of defiance in her words as the color beige takes over in old age and she fights to remain red, youthful. Overall, Kaleidoscope: An Asian Journey of Colors is an even stronger chapbook poetry collection than Because All Is Not Lost because it deals more than with just emotion and healing. Sweta Srivastava Vikram is a gifted poet…” – Serena, Savvy Verse and Wit. To read the full review, click here

TREUTLEN E-NEWS
About Treutlen County, Georgia
The Soperton Sign - It's a Love Story
The Sign Man has extended his mission world wide in his own internet site, TREUTLEN E-NEWS. But it all started with a simple sign and love.
Hundreds of motorists every day traveling in Soperton on GA 29, pass by the neighborly signs between McLeod's and Sammons Funeral Home. They enjoy seeing the birthdays, local businesses, anniversaries, and humor, especially about Crow-Mart. A few people know how THE SIGN started, but most have no idea. It came from the heart of a loving husband.
Since this is being written by a close friend, who can get away with it, I can say things that the Sign Man couldn't or wouldn't. If it gets by Marlee's careful inspection, it will be posted.
Many of you already know that the Sign Man is also known as Ricky Reese, experienced furniture salesman, chain store manager, produce manager, cemetery and large tract grass cutter, philosopher, humorist, sports enthusiast, and member of the THS class of 1979. Above all, he is the husband of Cynthia and father of Kate.
Like any other good husband, Ricky puts his wife on a pedestal, even when he is surfing every sports channel, fussing, or preaching. Wives put up with a lot, even argue as who has the most peculiar hubby, but they keep hanging in for 10, 20, 30 years and on and on...
Ricky, even when she is not around, believes that his wife is the smartest woman alive, the 10-foot "Bunny Rabbit" who can jump tall buildings in a single bound. He gives her jewelry when she says she doesn't want jewelry. He surprises her with flowers, but readers of her newspaper columns know all this. This background is for internet readers who don't see her writing.
Cynthia is an experienced writer, who learned the craft by reading all her life. She has been writing a weekly newspaper column since 1993. (Also news editor for several years.) She turned to writing fiction to produce extra income, and soon Harlequin Romance publishers determined that her manuscript was a salable product.
Cynthia received the message in August 2006. Ricky was so proud of her! He did a crazy thing. He splurged and rented a lighted portable sign to recognize his wife's accomplishment. He put it right on Main Street so everybody could see it.
Ricky had to contract the rented sign for three months. The frugal country boy was raised to not waste anything, so he put the sign to use, announcing birthdays and more. Then people came to him and insisted on paying a few dollars for messages. Even local businesses found the Sign to be a convenient reminder of their special sales. It was worth paying for another's month sign rent to accommodate Christmas messages.
If anybody had known the Sign would become historic, more pictures would have been made. By the time Buck was recognized, the second sign had been added.
By early 2007, it was obvious that a permanent sign was needed, so a used one was bought. By Spring that year, the demand was so great, another used sign was added, to provide four sign faces.
First Sign photo on the internet.
When yours truly started the BillRicksofSoperton blog later in 2006, the sign messages became a part of the regular posts. The first one read: "11-18-2006 Lauren and Jonathan May U Live Happily Ever After."
The first photo of the Sign went on the blog in April 2007, honoring Gene Bowers as the Citizen of the Day. Photos soon became a regular part of the blog.
Kids especially enjoy seeing their names in big letters on the Sign for their birthdays. In Memory messages, such as Steve Warnock's, recognize that memories live on. There is no price for honoring military service personnel, especially when welcoming them home. Anyone with a wedding anniversary of 50 or more years deserves a sign for free.
The Sign Man's big heart is evident in his work on the Sign. It takes endurance to hang letters in 100 plus heat index. It's even worse in the rain and cold. Many a time I've held an umbrella for the Sign Man in a settled-in rain, and on cold nights it has taken 3 or 4 hand-warming sessions to finish a job.
The Sign is used to promote churches, schools, activities, and more, but the modest fees also are put in good use. The Sign Man provides meals, cakes, fruit baskets, flowers, drinking water, and cash to a variety of people and causes. He was so touched by the heat injury of Barry Stokes, he campaigned and personally raised money. He raises people up in prayer. He frequently posts Scripture verses. He helps with benefits for people in need of prayer, support, and financing.
From U. S. Congressmen to the Soperton Possum, the high and lowly are equally recognized by the Sign Man. From Barbaro to Tony Stewart, sports figures are noted. The sign, with its history of less than three years, records the brevity of life. On the original sign Buddy Rogers birthday was noted. Later other signs raised Buddy in prayer and mourned his death. The same for Myra Henry.
The Sign Man Philosophy posted on an early sign continues today in all of Ricky's ventures, including the TREUTLEN E-NEWS. It's all about love of family, life and community.
The Sign Man Philosophy: "Learn from the past. Enjoy today. Tomorrow is not a promise."

It's Fishing Time!
All the rivers and lakes are dropping this week because of all the fish that are being caught. Robbie Mullis took his son Jaden fishing and look at the results- a big ol' bass.
Now, all of you parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, it's time to put your kid's big catches on the TREUTLEN E-NEWS. If you are in Soperton, stop by the home of sign on Main Street. If nobody is there, try one of the cellphone numbers posted on the front door. We are usually nearby and always eager to make the picture. Bring your dead rattlesnakes, too.
Christian Family Center's New Life - conclusion
CHIEF JUDGE RECOMMENDS CFC
Dwayne H. Gillis of the Waycross Judicial Circuit writes: "I have had theopportunity to use the Christian Family Center (CFC) as an alternative sentencing option and in lieu of prisonforseveral years now. I have also referred many families with loved ones who are suffering from addiction to the Christian Family Center. The founder and staff ofCFC are humble in spirit and earnest in their unselfish effort to help those who are suffering from addiction.
"....CFC is the best program that I, as a judge, have to use as an alternative sentence or referral."
Well constructed martin houses are made and sold at the CFC.
PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS BY THE E-NEWS AUTHOR
We showed up at the Christian Family Center unannounced and uninvited, but we received sincere welcomes. It had been a few years since we last visited and we hadn't talked with anyone at the center in the meantime. We shook hands with office staff and Mr. Stuckey took us on tour showing every nook and cranny of the campus. The men were working at several jobs. Everyone, young or older, was friendly and showed genuine southern hospitality with good humor. They were interesting talkers. They had an air of pride, similar to that one would experience in the military or in some correctional facilities. They were quick-paced and ready for action. Teamwork was going well.
Sanding a sturdy table.
After the tour Mr. Steverson answered every question that hadn't already been answered by other staff. He addressed past problems and corrections, from negative comments on Topix to coming up to date with the sewage disposal in a growing institution.
He expressed appreciation to the people of Treutlen County, the contributors and the businesses CFC patronizes. Some donations are anonymous, some are monetary while other gifts include such things as timber for the sawmill.
The picnic table is finished with polyurethane. Notice the distinctive edge, the curvature of the tree trunk.
Brother Kea said that God had always provided a way, as he expressed his gratefulness for those who shared his vision and believed in the practical ministry of the center.
The sawmill's lumber is stored in a spacious woodshed.
A last comical note. Like other working families, the center offers a lot of chicken in the meals. So much that some of the men have concluded that CFC means Christian Fried Chicken!

Christian Family Center's New Life - part 2
THE MISSION - Part 2 of 3
The ages of the Christian Family Center men range from 25 to 40, although a few have been as young as 19 and others are approaching senior status. Some of them admit themselves with support from family. Others are mandated by court/probation/parole.
Stuckey said, while touring the campus, "The rules are simple - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Stuckey in the expanded dining area. The original dining room in the background is the center's original building. You won't recognize it today, but it was the Snack Shack that once stood on Metter Road across from today's First Baptist Church (Troup Street) office.
Near the CFC entrance and office is a large painted stone, inscribed with the familiar "love chapter" of the Bible that ends "faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Steverson's daily motto is "If a man is willing, God is able.
The CFC's mission is to provide a Christian environment for men seeking recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The goal is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of men as we teach them Bible Based Recovery.
The center's belief is that spiritual awakening is necessary to staying clean and being happy and productive.
While being Christian, CFC is interdenominational and does not ask a man to accept any church creed and dogma that would conflict with their own personal beliefs. Daily Bible study and chapel attendance are required.
Some of the men may have medical and psychological problems. The center provides transportation for treatment.
The center urges self-sufficiency and work therapy. Every man has a full day from 6:30 in the morning until evening worship ends at 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. The day includes breakfast worship, Life Recovery class, work till noon, half hour for lunch. continue work until 4:00, supper at 5:00.
Even Saturdays include a half-day of work. First Sundays are for visitation by family and others. Other Sundays are family worship days. Families usually bring covered dishes to supplement the other food.
The center has connections with a Dublin facility for men who need de-tox. There are short programs for returning graduates and behavioral modification classes for those who need them.
Entry fee for the New Life program is $750, and following months are $400 each.
The program and the campus is simple, rural, active, work oriented, spiritual, focused, and, above all, Christian. No TV, CD, DVD, MP3, or ipod. AM/FM radio are permitted.

Christian Family Center's New Life
PART 1 OF 3 - THE DREAM
A few years ago, actually more than a few, a middle-aged Methodist minister called on his cousin, a hard-working farmer and county leader, to share a dream, a vision.
The visionary preacher was Rev. Robert Kea, and his cousin was beloved County Commissioner W. W. Kea, who deeded a tract of land to fufill the dream. It was one of the most potentially valuable sites in the county, at the intersection of the Dublin road and the first completed miles of I-16.
Everyone who knew Wilbur Kea was not surprised when he gave the land to Jesus. Rev. Kea's vision was the sight of a large cross of Jesus towering over the growing traffic of the Macon-Savannah expressway.
Rev. Kea's dream grew into the Christian Family Center, emphasizing Jesus Christ as Lord and a focus on families.
Today CFC has a New Life ministry, an extension of Kea's dream, a non-profit, Christian based drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for men to break the bondage of addiction, and restoring the suffering families.
Tuesday afternoon, Administrator Hank Steverson talked about the center's gains, including the 92 clients and staff, the EPD-certified septic system for a hundred people, fish pond, fenced softball field, physical fitness room, chapel, expanded dining room, scrupulously clean kitchen, the Christian environment, mutual respect, spiritual healing.
Steverson, himself, several years ago, was one of the clients, as are some other staff members. Ronnie Stuckey went through the six-month program five years ago. He had great success with the Captain D's Seafood chain, administering 17 stores and owning five. He's building a house just across Mercer's Creek, which will be bequeathed to the center. "I want nothing better than to live here and help men like myself through Jesus."
As President of the Center, Rev. Kea is assisted by Clinical Coordinator Don Gillis, Mark Rotter, and others.

More Progress on the New Jail
The work has come a long way with the new jail since we showed you pictures at the stages of foundation and floor. By June 5 concrete block walls were taking shape. Today the steel structure has been roofed and metal sides have added on three walls, as door framing and block work continues inside.

US firms boost investment in Vietnam's clean energy projects
Hanoi: A shining light of energy efficiency
Vietnam cleaning up its act with new agenda
Denmark pledges to help Vietnam develop green energy
Safety solution for electricity using in Vietnam
EVN harnesses science and technology on all fronts
10:52 | 08/06/2017 Energy
(VEN) - Vietnam Electricity (EVn) has promoted scientific and technological applications in order to operate and manage the national power system in a safe manner, provide sufficient power for the country’s socioeconomic development and enhance business efficiency.
Initial results
EVN’s member units currently manage several dozen power plants, as well as hundreds of thousands of kilometers of power lines and substations throughout the country. Although it does not own all the power sources, EVN operates the world’s 30th largest power system and second largest in Southeast Asia.
To meet power demand for the country’s socioeconomic development with power load growth of more than 10 percent a year, and enhance service quality given fierce competition and international integration, EVN has strengthened the application of scientific and technological achievements to modernize the power system and enhance its performance.
EVN general Director Dang Hoang An said that the group has used software serving trade and production activities, such as e-office, e-invoice, and finance and human resource management.
EVN’s member units have also implemented many scientific and technological initiatives in production, such as compiling curriculum for some key subjects in training facilities, piloting production of remote terminal units for transmission substations and power plants, proposing the verification period suitable for phase rotation meters, applying composite technology to protect the surface of equipment in coal-fired thermal power plants, and manufacturing equipment for monitoring and recording leakage currents in real time.
In 2016, five turbine units were put into operation with total capacity of 2,305MW. The group’s total commercial power output reached 159.31 billion kWh in 2016, an increase of 10.9 percent compared to 2015, while power loss was reduced to 7.7 percent. In addition, Vietnam was ranked 96th among the 190 countries and territories last year in terms of power supply by the Doing Business 2017 report of the World Bank, up five places comapared to 2015.
Drastic solutions
This year EVN will continue to ensure power supplies for the country’s socioeconomic development and people’s lives, striving to reach total commercial power output of 177.59 billion kWh, up 11.4 percent compared to last year, while reducing power loss to 7.57 percent.
In addition to improving business efficiency associated with environmental protection, the group has promoted scientific and technological application in all fields from management, operation, production and transmission to trade and distribution. EVN will also build a technology development strategy, strengthen information technology application in management and operation and continue the implementation of the smart grid development program in the whole group.
EVN has assigned specific tasks for each unit. For the power generation unit, the tasks include putting the technical management system and the meter data management system (MDMS) into use, and studying technological solutions to reduce the emission of thermal power plants in compliance with environmental standards.
In terms of the power transmission unit, the goals are putting the private-use telecommunication management system, the geographic information system (GI S) and the MDMS into use, and completing the construction of centers for monitoring the operation of 220kV substations and 15-20 unmanned 220kV substations.
For the power distribution and retailing unit, the private-use telecommunication, power load and distribution management systems are targeted for completion. In addition, the unit is required to deploy solutions to carry out repairs without cutting off power and cleaning insulators.
Dang Hoang An, general director of EVN, says the group has selected the use of science and technology as its theme for
2017, applying its achievements in management and operations of the power system to improve business efficiency
associated with environmental protection.

Reviews for the films that lie on the outside edges of the mainstream.
Crash (2004): ...And Burn
The Other Films (Revisited)
dir: Paul Haggis
Original Review (Circa 2006)
Originally Posted to Livejournal and IMDB

No, this isn't that one about the sex with car accidents. This is the one about racism in L.A. You know, the one where everybody is a racist, and race is the topic on everybody's mind at all times. Race.
Its like the movie has a form of Tourette's Syndrome where race is the constant theme. Race. Racist. Racism. Race Relations. Relay race.
Paul Haggis made a movie which took the structure of Magnolia, which was used to show the disconnect of people who are tangentially connected, and then screwed it into a 1'53" mental vomit about racism in America. RACE. In the 24 hour period we have 7 stories running parallel all connected and about race. The first hour, people say ridiculous stuff and do absurd things in an effort to be real about racism in America.
For example, the story with Ludicrous and Larenz Tate provides the comic relief. Too bad, the first half of their story is lifted straight from The Bonnie Situation in Pulp Fiction. RACISM. Their section is the Quentin Tarantino section where, instead of being cool and talking about foot massages and religion, the characters talk about race and racism. CONSTANTLY.
The other good thing about it is the Mexican story when the Mexican guy is talking to his daughter. He gives her his invisible impenetrable cloak to protect her from bullets. Decent writing, but that's only because the writers have had daughters and know what they would say in his place.
The rest of the stories are extremely ludicrous. The Hindi does not act in any semblance of realism. The scene where he's trying to get the lock fixed and the Mexican tells him he needs a new door is abbreviated and stupid. Why would anybody act like that? Is it realistic? NOOO. It reminds me more of the convenience store clerk from The Doom Generation. "Six Dollar Sixty Six Cents girly." If i ever watch the second half of the movie, I hope his head is shot off and his bodiless head starts coughing up relish.
I haven't mentioned race in over a paragraph. RACE. RACISM. RACE FOR THE SUN. Better. Then, there is the black guy who wants to be white, Matt Dillon who has a chip on his shoulder against blacks, Ryan Phillippe who looks beautiful and does nothing, and various other bad actors acting badly with bad dialog. When Matt Dillon molests the black producers wife, could I help it if I was cracking up? When Philippe is second guessing his writing up of his partner for racism, can I help but crack up? The movie is so funny when it is being racist. Racist. RACIST I tell you.
Now, mind you, this movie was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing, besides a nod to Matt Dillon who actually did attempt to do a decent job. Who was paid off for that one, I have no clue.
Don't see it unless you feel like being preached at about the racism in society through a bad and unrealistic script from 2 white men over fifty who have no semblance of reality or interaction with real society in any way shape or form.
Grade: D-
The second half of Crash takes any and all story lines in the first half...and spews them back out in a sort of redemptive, conclusionary, the world is a big coincidence kind of way. And it is in fact one of the worst ways to do it.
Take 1999's Magnolia. People weren't conveniently tied together over and over again. They were just connected in a strange way that happens more often than you think. You know somebody who knows somebody who did something that you knew somebody else was also involved in. Crash takes this wrapping into a serious extreme.
The stories are lined up so everybody meets again. Are there only 5 on the LAPD force? Aren't these people working weird shifts? Dillon and Philippe were a late shift then an early one the next day? And, why did Tate have to be the murdered hitchhiker? Wouldn't it have had more emotional tension, as well as realism, if it had been somebody we had not been following all day long? Like Phillippe just picks up a random hitchhiker and then freaks out. Everybody'd be freaking out.
Eventually, in the second half, the touching invisible cloak scene is used to get the Hindi to shoot the daughter. It ticked me off and made me feel dirty. Not that the Hindi shot the daughter, but that they created a beautiful touching scene and then had it be the direct cause of people tearing up. It really ticked me off. At the writers, not the scene.
The whole movie is fake and totally uncalled for. The coincidences are far too many and they require an extreme suspension of disbelief. Unlike Magnolia which was connected mildly, this had connections upon connections upon connections which were just so over-the-top. The only good part in the second half was when Sandra Bullock falls down the stairs. She doesn't die though. She should have. I cheered when she fell.
The worst part about the movie is it pulls a Magnolia. Not just in structure, but it has a montage over the song "In the Deep" where you see everybody being depressed. Magnolia took this and had post-modern commentary on it by having all of the characters singing along to Aimee Mann's Wise Up. Unfortunately, Magnolia came out in 1999, while Crash came out in 2005. Its hard to make commentary on a movie which won't be made for another 6 years, but it happened. Somehow.
Utter waste of my time.
First half: D-; Second half: lowest grade ever; Overall: F---

Tim Leberecht
Articles + Press
Domus, December 24, 2019
A Humanist in Silicon Valley
Tim was portrayed in the December issue of leading design and architecture magazine Domus.
By Walter Mariotti
Tim Leberecht is a German-American author, entrepreneur and former consultant. He is also a prolific and passionate voice on the humanisation of business. The co-founder and CEO of The Business Romantic Society, a consulting firm, which helps organisations and leaders make their strategy more human in the age of AI and automation, he is also behind the House of Beautiful Business annual gathering and global community. Its mission is to craft a positive vision for the future of work.
We met him in Lisbon. The House of Beautiful Business this year brought together 600 invite-only participants from business, technology, public sector, academia, and the arts and humanities to discuss, co-create, and imagine a more human future of our economies and societies.”
Tim believes business can and must be more than the bottom line. Much of our world is measured in numbers and reduced to labels and mechanics, but the basis for more beautiful business must be grown on a human scale. “This means questioning and reconnecting to the things that make us inherently human and begins with a new sentimental education. By literally bringing us back to our senses, we can begin developing human skills such as Aesthetic Intelligence, as one of this year’s residents, Pauline Brown, suggests, and Art Thinking, coined by another resident, Amy Whitaker. We suggest incorporating these skills, along with ethical and emotional integrity, at the foundation of why businesses
exist.”
To make this change happen, “we have invited experts with models for a collaborative economy, including co-ops and steward ownership models which make social maternalism a possible future of capitalism. Next to these structural models, not yet in the mainstream of business, we also reinforce the power of narratives and stories, making hope and bringing societies closer together again.” The main question remains whether there can be technological humanism. “We do believe in the agency of humans, both as individuals and as a collective. That said, we wouldn’t explicitly support the idea of a digital or technological humanism. To us, humanizing business does not go along with the idea of human centricity or “humanism” in this sense. We would rather like to propose a more balanced relationship of humans, technology within the planetary boundaries we all operate in.”

I would say contact the RSPCA, but that wouldn't help with your relationship with the neighbour, so I don't know what to suggest. ((((hugs))))
to be nobody but yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

Rescuing a Junior from the lake
Thanks! His attitude is that the dog can't be expected to be quiet. Some people are like that with little kids, but at least little kids don't bark at loud volumes or head butt fences!!
We really must stop eating like this ...
Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

Buying your school uniform
How annoying, the owner should never have been allowed to have this dog. I feel sorry for it. Stuck inside/stuck outside with nothing to do but voice its complaints. Is there a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals that you can contact anonymously? Perhaps this might help?
On another note, I am swamped in gardening work. I have 1/2 a dozen or so of cucumber plants that for some reason are producing on average 3 cucumbers every day. I like cucumbers but I have lost my interest and taste buds for any of them. I discovered that there is a Wildlife park close by and they will take any and all fruit/vegetables that people don't want. So I have been trekking there daily to leave my cucumbers in the food bins for the animals. It makes my day to realize that I might be making a monkey's life extra special...
On a more pathetic note, we have 4 fruit trees that have produced apples and peaches for the neighbour's dog! And, the bears that wander through in the middle of the night, but none for us. I've been seen, by my husband, begging for fruit from my neighbour. Oh dear, what it is to be reduced to a beggar!
Yes, there's the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, but unfortunately it'd be pretty obvious who'd contacted it! I did mutter about recording the noise: I'm hoping that might have had some impact.
I love the idea of making a monkey's day!
Location: West London Alps
I like dogs, but am most relieved that our next-door-neighbour re-housed the ex-guard dog that he considered keeping at home - large young male German Shepherd, in a small terraced house with low fences, in a built-up area with busy roads. Some folk should definitely only have animals of the battery=operated kind! So I sympathise, Alison - contrary to what your neighbour implies, I think that in law he is responsible for his dog's behaviour. Like all nuisances, I think all you can do is gather evidence and present it to the council. Good luck, anyway!
Thanks. I may quote the Environmental Protection Act at him! At least, now it's getting cooler and darker, he'll probably be more inclined to keep the horrible animal inside, so at least it won't be able to terrorise me if I'm in the garden!
Asked to help with the play
The neighbour is certainly responsible for the dog's behaviour, although how bad it would have to be before anyone took action I don't know.
Don't think the RSPCA would do anything, the dog isn't being kept in ideal conditions but it doesn't sound like it's actually neglected. Best of luck anyway Alison.
I wish we had a wildlife park nearby where we could offload our cucumber glut.
Perhaps you could toss a squeeky toy or a chew bone over the fence the next time he tries to bash his way through. It might divert his attention.
The horrible vicious animal hasn't been seen today, but sadly I think that's because it's been raining rather than because the owner took any notice!

Annoying a Sixth Former
Hugs to everyone! Alison, sounds very frustrating!
Location: swansea united kingdom
Alison, is the fence yours or your neighbour's? If it's yours then you can replace the damaged bit (at his expense possibly?). If it's his, he should have a duty of care to maintain it I think. After all, if it's THAT aggressive and it gets out, he would be paying a lot more in compensation for any injuries caused to anyone..........! Try advising him of that as "friendly" advice. .........!!
He's agreed to mend the fence. I just wish he'd have the dog re-housed, preferably a million miles away in the middle of nowhere, where it isn't disturbing or intimidating anyone! Another neighbour's also got an annoying dog which is left alone in the garden all day and barks, but that's a little yappy thing so at least the barking isn't deafening and it doesn't constantly look as if it'd like to rip someone's throat out.

Order Mark!
Many year ago a neighbour had two (large) Alsatians. One jumped up at me and knocked me against a fence. I'm 5ft 3 and was shy of eight stone. "O she won't hurt you" so I replied how would she like something as big to her as that 9deleted0 dog was to me jumping up at her?
It, of course, hadn't crossed her mind.
The later outcome was that several people acting together complained to the council and she did have to restrain them.
"Lack of planning on your part does not necessarily mean an emergency on mine"
"Association does not infer causality"
Sympathies! I hate that. A great big vicious dog jumps at either a person or a smaller dog, and the response you get is "Oh, she/he won't hurt you/them". or else the owner reprimands the dog but doesn't apologise to the victim!
On the other hand, neither am I impressed with "I should warn you that my dog will try to go for your cat" (fortunately in a stout cat-basket) from another person waiting to be seen at the vet. (This is many years ago, of course, and unlikely to happen these days - most vets' waiting rooms are supervised now, at least intermittently). Another one who had to be reminded of her legal responsibilities - maybe she just wanted the place to herself, or didn't like cats? The dog looked like a nice dog, and singularly unruffled, anyway!

Discovering you have to be trilingual
I had a similar experience Noreen. However, I was pleased to be able to reply that my cat tended to intimidate dogs rather than the other way around! We had two large German shepherds next door to us when Purrdy was just a kitten and he managed to outface both of them. In fact, one became quite besotted with him!

Having Miss Ferrars as Form Mistress
Noreen wrote:
Our vet has a Cat Area with a little wall mostly around it. We're always directed in there to wait, while the dogs have the rest of the waiting area. It means the dogs can't see the cats and get excited, and the cats can't see the dogs and freak out. So far it seems to be respected, which is good - the dog owners have their dogs on leads, but let them roam around to the extent of it rather than keeping them close.
Yes, what a good idea - many of the animals are stressed out enough already, after all. We went to the Royal Veterinary College with our youngest cat recently, and they have separate waiting areas for cats and dogs. They have the space, of course, which not everyone does, but I can see this catching on.
On the other hand, neither am I impressed with "I should warn you that my dog will try to go for your cat" (fortunately in a stout cat-basket) from another person waiting to be seen at the vet.
Our previous neighbour had cats and our Westie didn't like them even in their OWN back garden - mind you, when he was a puppy they used to sit on the wall and look smug when he was barking and bouncing at them! The new neighbour has a be able and it has a tendency to come over the wall into ours which irritates him even worse............!
Sorry, fio - what is it your new neighbour has?

Wiesenthal (Nazi Hunter)
a One Man Show
CATEGORY : DRAMA
by Tom Dugan
COMPANY : Independant Producer
VENUE : Earl Smith Strand Theatre [WEBSITE]
The Off Broadway, award winning production of the riveting true story of an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. Holocaust survivor, Simon Wiesenthal, was soon known to the world as the “Jewish James Bond”… dedicating his amazing life to bringing over 1100 Nazi War Criminals to justice, including aiding in the capture of Adolph Eichmann. Tom Dugan is Simon Wiesenthal as he recreates his tour de force New York role.
Capturing Audiences, Not Just Nazis
Tom Dugan’s tour-de-force performance as Simon Wiesenthal wouldn’t be half as effective if the one-man play he wrote weren’t so neatly constructed. This is not a "then I did this" biography. Bits of narration are interspersed with anecdotes, recognition of the audience, and ongoing storylines.
The play takes place on Wiesenthal’s last day of work at the Jewish Documentation Center in Austria, in 2003 (two years before Wiesenthal’s death). He needs to wrap things up before retirement, and speaks to us as if we’re one last group of visitors. He interrupts himself occasionally to make or take phone calls, either from his wife, who’s expecting him home soon, or to contacts who may be able to help him locate a Nazi torturer purportedly in Syria. He relates his triumphs and his disappointments. His role in bringing 1,100 Nazi criminals to justice sounds impressive, but to him it’s just five percent of the 22,000 names he has on file.
Wiesenthal’s experiences in concentration camps are mentioned, but the focus is on his work following the end of World War II. Vengeance on all former Nazis was not his driving force; bringing individuals to justice was. It’s the individual stories that capture the heart and the imagination and that kept Wiesenthal going, not some wrong-headed concept of collective guilt.
The touring production is professionally mounted, with nice lighting and sound effects, and a set that approximates the look of Wiesenthal’s actual office (minus any actual walls), with a desk, chairs, and boxes scattered about. Mr. Dugan’s performance makes use of an Austrian Jewish accent that may be difficult for some American ears to distinguish, but it’s consistently done and enhances the character. Mr. Dugan gets to show off some acting range as Wiesenthal impersonates various individuals in his stories, and in the talk-back session after the performance audiences get to see the real Tom Dugan, an Irish Roman Catholic whose father helped liberate concentration camps in WWII.
The show ends on a poignant note, as Wiesenthal asks the final question he has hinted at since the beginning. The answer will reverberate in the memories of the audience members, keeping alive the documentation of the Holocaust that Simon Wiesenthal spent his adult life researching.

Little guy.
I have found the new mosquito:
He pinches between things,
Plumbing against the woodhardy thigh,
Regarding a day in long inches, rugged short sleeve,
And what the wind will do to a little guy.
It's just an idea, what I said,
Stay in contented land with a wife:
You can relax, pop a bulging raisin in your teeth
And suck the brown sugar under the drowsy shadow of
Your tongue.
There's so little to what you want.
At least you put it out there.
That brief juice runs,
Parasite in midmorning
And what is love
And what bellows with love
Drowns with that briefest
Delirious liquor.

This is also part of the moment.
The imaginary light, who knew
It was so different?!
With what suspicion did they
Read darkening books, reject a
Referee's call,
Call their kids indoors under the orange private property?
Provided that it
Is the same peering color
And that it is as bright (and therefore so easily mistaken)
Was there any curiosity in that what
It touched was somehow less suspicious?

If only you believed.
The older you get the the less a day off is a day off. It becomes an auxiliary, all unfinished business is stuffed in square-peg-in-round-hole style til counter-intuitively the day off contains more work than the work day. I use mushrooms to get by.
But lets let that wait for now. This morning began innocently enough with one of my recent favorite distractions, playing songs on Blip.com. I'm sure it's making someone money, but every now and then I get "props" from a pretty woman with good taste in music and it keeps me another inch from the edge. Fuckin A.
So sometime later I walked Ella over to the laundromat for some long overdue washing. When I say--or evince in pure spirit as is so often and disorientingly my m.o., that this will be the summer of hallucinogenics and the pursuit of happiness I should, again both literally and in pure spirit as evinced, add that I have also taken an unexpected interest in cleanliness. As my days at the Goose are numbered--soon I will be but another lay person crashed out on the right side of the bar, I have found a new affinity for clean skin, clean hair, and sartorial trapping free of burnt zucchini's unmistakable aroma. Got me a haircut, a few items of personal hygiene, and have every intention of getting some new clothes before the tax return money is spent. No rivulets of salty beer sweat here, just crazy trippy shit happening in my head all day and night. Doctors will trace a catatonic burn-out condition back to this precise moment. When we imagine the purpose of writing do we ever really anticipate it as having evidentiary impact? Isn't the notion that it could come of anything similar to the notion of death, it's been proven time and again, but the prospect of it happening to ones self is, though not unrealistic, a tab bit hard to picture. Someday this writing will explain a catatonic state. There.
So I was at the laundromat with Ella, when a not unattractive woman approached me to pet the dog. It was not long before she told me all about her dogs, the accumulation of pet hair on the rugs and empty nest syndrome. She was really good natured and Ella liked her. Now I don't know if it's because I was still drunk from the last night or whether she was communicating strangely (kind of like the Orson Welles movie, The Lady from Shanghai, which for a number of reasons, both technical and performative, involving the sound track of the movie I have no idea what it's about beyond the things a compromising man would do for Rita Hayworth). Whatever the chemistry, I ended up slightly puzzled by her, and in short turn found myself trying to play catch-up with her meaning. She raised terms like "task bartering", "child bartering", and "hang it on so and so". It developed into one of those Double Indemnity scenarios. If I'd have leaned into her and asked, "You want me to kill your husband, right?", she'd have--still petting the dog with a puckered baby play face mind you, have rebuffed me with, "Not here, we can't discuss it here."
I don't like speaking ill of exhilaration, but the truth of it was that the Jefferson Starship song "Miracles" was playing on the radio in the laundromat as all this was happening and I just figured the prevailing air of confusion was a small price to pay to hear a song I'd always loved, the album of which I would likely never buy. We pay. One way or the other we pay for what we take.
I walked Ella home with the peculiar memory of the woman who wanted me to kill her husband ebbing as a more distant one quickly emerged. This too involved "Miracles" and the presidential election of 1984. I was nine, and the song was on the radio. I got up before everyone else, and ate cereal by the radio. I had just seen Walter Mondale on tv. I have no idea, apart from the unbiased sequencing of long-term memory, why I link these events, or even why my imagination chose to fight so strongly to keep intact two banalities equally well-served apart. But really, is what I don't know now so much worse than what I didn't know before conceding to this? I am, above all things, striving for inner peace, and the shadow of doubt must find its bay.
Earlier, maybe an hour or so. It was a Saturday and I had the tv room to myself, waiting for cartoons. At that hour only the odious Christian-themed cartoons ran, and even then I found them unpalatable and hated the shoddy manner in which they attempted to disguise their moral monochromaticism with such bland characters and shitty artwork. So I watched an informercial with Walter Mondale, he was discussing America's problems, the poor and such, basically making his case for the presidency. I liked him. He didn't seem like the kind of guy who would push you around. Reagan always struck me as the kind of guy who would--like the kid at school to whom everyone was nice, but only because he was a violent asshole whose self-amusing wrath you'd just as soon avoid. My dad was awake. "Miracles" was on the radio and summer as I first knew it permeated the absorbency of my alert life. I thought this has to be a woman singing, but a woman who sounds like a man. I always thought Carly Simon sounded like a man, too. Like in a vacuum I could picture Carly Simon as a dude. It amused me from a young age to find that not only was Carly Simon a woman but thought of as something of a sex symbol. Sometimes when flipping through records at a store I'll see cover art depicting an attractive but forgotten singer. Julie London comes to mind, but I know there are better, more recent examples, just none I can think of off the bat. I think: it's instantly clear from this moment in time why this person got a record deal and why it didn't work out. I wondered to my Dad why he didn't support Mondale instead of Reagan. After all, my Dad hated douchebags and bullies as much as anyone. His response is unprintable.
A palindromic current of conservativism originated that would change courses in a feeling of being had just before my college years. I still get a laugh though when I pass a record by Carly Simon in a record store. Whatever dude.

The thing.
Desiderio da Settignano-Little Boy (Florentine 15th c.)
Before it rose even one time
It was full of blood, excuses and rain tantrums,
Pacing out how to walk steadily on a cupping limb,
It ought to be assumed the thing was born ignorant to the monolithic complexity:
Leaflet foot soles weightless and held in the air.
Thank that it rose at all,
Rained at all, for giving you an enemy
So eagerly pitied and therefore
So readily mismanaged.
Mothers and fathers have gone a long while
Beating back the wild weeded run to a paradise,
They imagine being like Hawaii,
Their eyes already far ahead to that place
In the undisturbed future.
There will be red birds flying across the sun,
Water rich with the reflections of ferns for them to swim, and still
--I'm sorry,
A predatory siren in the wood
Lying patient,
Ignored.

There are two primary qualifiers for the great American city. The first is the presence of decent Ethiopian food. I like Ethiopian food, I'm not nuts for it. Probably why I find it such a reliable indicator, that in its failure to arouse me personally it still manages an emissarial statement. The second is that of at least one annual birthday dance party honoring Morrissey.
Pittsburgh, I learned today, qualifies on both terms.
Lately I've found the signage of this city curious. The first example concerns our annual birthday party honoring Morrissey. Among the selling points of the bash, listed first in fact, is 'Fresh Pastries.' But then at some point after the sign was posted--the copy I saw was posted in the vestibule of Brillobox, 'Delicious Pastries' had been crossed out. Barring either a myopic act of vandalism or an equally bizarre tribute band named 'Delicious Pastries' I had to conclude that there was a falling out between the venue and the baker, or between the party-thrower and the baker. Or perhaps between the three of them. It amused me to imagine--whatever the cost to actual human emotion, the fraught exchange, the revoking of baked goods, and finally, the revised notion of a Morrissey dance party with no baked goods, as had been promised. Even bakers have problems. But in the end we all stand to gain from celebrating Morrissey's birthday. Here's hoping they patch things up in time.
The other rash of signage I mention touches on a sensitive subject here in Bloomfield: three slain police officers. Before I come off glib let me, for the sake of all due respect, say that officers Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo III died valiantly on Saturday April 4th of this year, killed by an enthusiast of the Second Amendment and outspoken opponent of our Zionist state. Infamy being a kind of fame only vaguely--and I'd say imperceptibly, dimmer in apprehension I'll refrain from repeating his name. Sufficed to say the community has, as the saying goes, come together in the face of it. There was a service up the street with bagpipes and a choir. I took Ella for a walk and watched the procession. I wrote to my parents, and recall a sense of grief I had not felt for fallen law enforcement since September 11th.
In the time since the shootings I've witnessed a distressing proliferation of flyers papers nearly every store front along Liberty Avenue. It started with one that appeared, as do candidate election placards in regular distribution. But over the weeks more personalized ones have popped up--a barbershop down the street posts seven--and a sandwich board. The message, though given to slight variation consists of three basic tenets: we show gratitude; we remember (vigilantly staving off the abnormality that is a forgetful mind); and we take single-faith comfort in knowing the slain police officers are with God now. Several businesses have taken to peddling "Fallen Heroes" bracelets. They're $2.00 each.
There really is no way to segue through to my point now without coming off as a cynical, aloof collegiate liberal. So fuck it. The fact is these signs, these advertisements and souvenirs have become highly distressing. They fetishize the grief, ignore the very valuable banalities of living, but most importantly they trivialize the world of death that surrounds just these isolated three.It s a funeral that refuses to end--an abnormality. What began as personal expressions of grief and gratitude for honorable service has turned into a drone loop masking several unsettling elements of the crime and how it affects the community below its surface.
First, when not mourning slain police officers many of us, to varying degrees of course, live in fear of them. It makes the slayings no less tragic, and in fact as cop-fearing citizens many of us reveal our unconditional sympathies in just such moments. We too were moved to great sadness. The deferment of our fears has lasted nearly as long as the fundraising efforts.
Another aspect of this incident which has been obscured is the poor custodianship we have, on so many levels, made of the Second Amendment to the Constitution. As a gun-owner myself it wasn't until the Cheney-Bush Administration's Department of Homeland Security was instituted that the real impetus for this provision was felt in earnest. Til then I just took it as an outdated entitlement to personal and organized defenses against the government (which it is) misused to ensure unstable persons will, on principle alone, be able to buy dangerous weapons (which it does). I remain convinced that the Amendment is valuable to individual freedom. But the all or none approach, as this incident bears out does not work. Furthermore the one-sided focus on the victims is an unjust distraction from a great problem: The criminal element responsible for, and Constitutionally enabled in, the commission of these heinous acts.
I overheard a wingnut on the radio lay the blame on the police dispatcher for not giving proper advanced warning to the doomed officers. Imagine the firestorm had air traffic been blamed for 9/11 as opposed to, you know, the terrorists.
And you know I don't do myself any favors by writing things like that: There are columnists and comedians who do it much better than do I, more articulately and fearlessly, with firmer insights into the framing legislation and debate. But Jesus Christ, the signs.
So it is with a confessional heart and the sincerest desire to get off the burning path into the cool spring grasses of inconsequence that I come to the photograph included above.
Seen in the tableau are a bag of wheat flour, a bottle of Angostura bitters, a photograph of Truman Capote taken in the 1950's by, I believe Arnold Newman--or maybe Irving Penn, and in the foreground a plastic bottle of distilled white vinegar wearing an ill-fitting stopper. You see, last night as I sat watching It's All Fair Weather at Gooski's with Dave & Sarah, John, the bartender uncorked a bottle of Blanton's bourbon. The cap is a pewter racehorse--perhaps a subliminal emblem for its complementary effect on the mint julep, sitting atop a real cork stopper. On removing it John said, 'I always tell myself to hold onto these. But what would I do with them?'. So I grabbed it, knowing I would wake up to find my hoodie pocket smelling of (a better brand of) bourbon the next morning. So I awoke and so it did, and so it still does. Somewhere in my reasoning too was the idea of creating a momentary piece of art in which the stately stopper was tucked into a cheap bottle of no real consequence. King for a day. There you have it. I made good, but the effect, even I have to admit, is kind of poor. I suppose there is some fabulous consolation in that I tried.
Truth be told I discarded the stopper after snapping off the picture. And I suppose that when all other messages of expression fail they succeed at least in lighting the end.
Update: It's Delicious Pastries not Fresh Pastries. Delicious Pastries. They're a band. Kinda sounds like they're in the wrong line of work. I regret nothing.

You make me feel so blue.
Alexej von Jawlensky Das Oy-Tal (Russian-German 1910)
What a difference a Rozerem and spring cleaning can make. Uncluttered, chemically well-rested, and at the foot of a day off, I am happy to say the world of music is alive.
Borodin. I ought to not be talking about this Russian chemist's first string quartet, as it is a weekday diversion. But it takes up a grand space in me, and as such, warrants honorable mention. The daily ritual is to soft cook some eggs on macerated tomatoes--I add a pinch of light brown sugar to coax them along, give em a dash of sesame oil and some chili flakes. It's one of a few dishes I make in which the dog shows no interest. I eat in peace.
But it's a moody record, and today's going the opposite way. A few weeks ago I mentioned how charismatic I (finally) found Neko Case. Well, leave it to Camera Obscura to sneak in and steal her seduction-by-songcraft thunder with their most recent, My Maudlin Career. Singer Tracyanne Campbell didn't gild lilies this time around, and the songs feel, compared to the sugary Let's Get Out of This Country, a bit restrained. It's only fair to say that by nearly ANY other standards they are anything but. However it is amid this mirage of disciplined jubilation and heartachy effusion that Campbell's voice achieves, as does ideal bath water, the temperature of disarmament. No one that I can think of in indie or even mainstream pop has the hypnotic sexuality she has. Over the past decade or so of music nerddom I've fallen into a pattern of infatuate, over-estimate and disappoint when it comes to throwback artists. Maybe it began with Shelby Lynne, or Macy Gray. Hell, maybe Lyle Lovett. Anyhow, the clause "not since" has come to signify a kind of reliable warning. So when songwriting teams Boyce & Hart and Lieber & Stoller began to infect my swoony response to Camera Obscura I was alarmed. Take a line (from 'You Told a Lie') like:
Are my eyes the coldest blue?
You said once this was true.
If it is I don't know what I'll do
'Cause I'm stuck with them,
And they're stuck on you.
Setting aside the physiological effect it has on me, it's a chorus whose literal invocation of blue-eyed soul is an elevation of the tired sub-genre mantle. Mind you both in production and performance it draws self-conscious attention to its craft. But when you got it, flaunt it. This is quite simply the best country soul record I've heard in a long while.
So too was I the recipient of a righteous blood rush from Ghost, whose performance this past Thursday at the Andy Warhol Museum pushed them in the pantheon of bands I've most left the seclusion of home to see out. It's such a dynamite equation. Each time I get a slight reservation, handing the dude my ticket. This is psych rock. I could be home, high, on the couch. You know, the ideal context. Ghost produces such a diverse and inter-colliding host of sounds, moving from Rundgren-esque piano pop, to blast-out Nuge rawk that the opportunity for distraction is simply nowhere to be found. Even when they spread out Ghost eschews noodling. It is reassuring too that not only does a band of this cultish a status care enough to play such a career-encompassing set, but that in doing so they could do a solid sequence. For as small a listenership as the band seems to enjoy there isn't a hell of a lot of filler to their repertoire. Glad I left the house.
In truth, I am back to spinning the Borodin now. So much for weekday solipsism. In between shocks out in the world it is easiest to make happiness out of habit. And the moodiness sponsored by a chemist, that's something that, for better or worse, refuses to leave you.
New habits die hard.

The Emasculator Podcast: A Pakistani-American woman tells me why she voted for Trump
Why did minorities vote for Trump? That’s one of the many, many questions liberals had after this shocking election. Why, after he admitted to groping women without their consent, would 53% of white women turn out at the polls for Trump? Why, after he called Mexican immigrants “criminals” and “rapists,” would almost one out of three Latinx support him? It seemed completely counterintuitive to many liberals that so many members of oppressed groups would vote against their own interests.
But here’s the thing: there’s no rule that says members of oppressed groups can’t oppress others, even people who are just like them. Women can be misogynists (see: Ann Coulter, Tomi Lahren), people of color can be racist (see: Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain). Women slut-shame other women in order to prove that they’re “respectable” women by comparison, POC denounce black men who dress or act like “thugs” in order to prove that they’re the “good” kind of minority. While straight white men tend to be the worst offenders (hence the existence of this blog), we were all raised in a sexist, racist society, so we are all sexist and racist to some extent.
At least, that’s my take on it. My best friend from childhood, a Muslim-born, first-generation Pakistani-American woman who became a hardcore Republican in college, tells it differently. She proudly voted for Trump in November, has no regrets, and will most likely vote for him again in 2020. In this podcast, I asked her the million-dollar question–why?

Baci Is Ghana’s Most Beautiful
Posted on October 24, 2014 by theheraldteam in Entertainment
By Gifty Arthur
The Upper West Regional representative of this year’s Ghana Most Beautiful reality show, Bentie Abigail Baciara, was last Sunday decorated with the prestigious crown at the finals at Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
She drove home a Hyundai saloon car and a cheque amount of GH¢10,000, one year supply of wax print from GTP, and souvenirs from the sponsors.
Born some twenty two (22) years ago, Baci, as she was affectionately called on stage, is the eighth winner of the show, after representatives from the Central, Greater Accra, Ashanti, Northern, Eastern, Volta and Upper East Regions, were crowned in the years past.
She beat stiff competition from Lamine, Ewoe, Ama, representing Upper East, Volta and Eastern Regions respectively.
Baci, a graduate of the University for Development Studies (UDS), Wa Campus, was followed by Ewoe, a graduate from the Ghana Institute Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), who took home GH¢7,000 supply of wax print from GTP and other products from sponsors.
The Third place went to Ama, an Environmental Scientist from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), who went with GH¢6,000 and wax print from GTP and products from sponsors, while Lamine received GH¢5,000 and products from sponsors.
Fans and viewers at home were thrilled to a very memorable show.
Baci, in the course of the 13-week competition, won the enviable best performer category, this was announced by the judges, David Dontoh, Linda Ampah and Maame Akua, and so it did not surprise many, when she was proclaimed winner of the eighth season.
For her personal project, the light-skinned beauty queen from Tumu, will focus on promoting primary education in her region and as explained in the course of the show, she will extend it to the rest of the country, using indigenous communication, participatory and bottom up approach among others.
The show, which is the brain child of TV3 Network, is one reality show, which promotes Ghana’s national unity amongst the regions, its people, culture and values of the ten regions, exhibited by the ten beautiful young women, who are mandated to showcase these rich cultures.
On the night, the four finalists, entertained fans with performances such as fashion and modeling category, talent hunt, and most importantly, the “question and answer” section where they were made to answer questions bothering on the projects they had adopted, while entering into the show.
In the exhibition of talents, Lamin, whose theme was centred on the “power of music” sang soothing old hilife songs (adada mu), while Ama broadcasted news in the Akan language.
Baci, posed as a law enforcement officer, who did not only arrest offenders of the law, but educated the public on dangers of abusing drugs, Ewoe on the other hand, enlightened unsuspecting members of the public on confident tricksters and fraudsters.
She also impressed the judges with the articulation of her answer during the question and answer section, after which she was crowned the best of them all.
The night was made complete with performances from the likes of ”king of the street” Kwaw Kesse, Guru, D-Flex and Old Soldja a.k.a Asa Kalifa.
Some of the dignitaries that graced the popular show were Minister for the Interior, Mark Woyongo, and former Minster for Roads and Highways and now Minister for the Upper West Region Alhaji Amidu Sulemana, President of African University College, Kojo Yankah, chief and queen mothers, as well as past queens and evictees of the show, were all present.

The Women Who Score: Soundtracks Live on August 19
Linita Masters
The music of women film, TV and video game composers takes center stage.
Grand Performances and The Alliance for Women Film Composers, in association with The Film Music Society and White Bear PR present
The Women Who Score: Soundtracks Live will feature special guests Diane Warren, Raphael Saadiq, Lili Haydn, Butterscotch and more!
Music is an integral part of filmmaking, moving the story and touching the audience.
Where would iconic movies such as Star Wars, Avatar, The Godfather, or Gone with the Wind be without its music? Would Downton Abbey, Dexter, or House of Cards be the same and have audiences glued to their TVs without music? Would gamers immerse into Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda if they were silent? Movie music has moved us all to cheer, cry, and fall in love for more than 100 years. Yet the vast majority of composers hired to create this vital part of Hollywood’s cultural landscape have been men. Well, that musical glass ceiling is about to crack!
Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman
Grand Performances, the “Best Free Outdoor Summer Concert Series” in Los Angeles and the Alliance for Women Film Composers team up celebrate the music of women composers in film, television, video games and interactive media at The Women Who Score: Soundtracks Live, a free concert in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, August 19.

Author interview with Karen Aldous
I am absolutely delighted to have the fabulous Karen Aldous, author of The Vineyard, here on Becca's Books today. I have read and fallen in love with Karen's debut novel The Vineyard, and I was dying to ask Karen all about it, so of course I did!
~ Karen Aldous ~
1.) Karen, when did the idea of becoming a writer first come to you? Have you known for a long time what you wanted to do? How long did it take you to write The Vineyard?
I think I had some idea at school. I knew I wanted to travel and write but it was in my late teens working in London and I was reading a book on the train and thinking, I could write this better and, of course, I couldn't. So I did start a novel and that was when the idea was born. The Vineyard was in my head for a few years, in several guises, it was January 2012 when I seriously made up my mind to get it written. My own mother going through chemo and it made me realise how limited our time really is. I sent it to a publisher eighteen months later.
2.) How long was the planning process for The Vineyard? Did it take you a long time to figure out your characters, their characteristics and settings? What was your favourite part about bringing The Vineyard to life?
I suppose the bulk of planning was when it was in my head all that time and the main characters Lizzie, Caroline, Thierry and Cal, even Sophie. The core was there so when I got on the RNA NWS, I also joined a local writing class, The Write Place, where I began planning scenes and characters etc. in more detail and once I found my voice, I also grew more confident. The settings were definitely inspired by my travels to Provence and Cannes and, in my own village. We walk out to a valley close to us which inspired the Kent vineyard. And, in my dreams, I would love to own one!
My favourite part of bringing the novel to life was in the editing. Once my lovely editor had run her expert eye over it, and I'd made a few changes here and there, it felt great.
3.) Did you send The Vineyard out to many publishers once you had finished? I've never been 100% on how it all works, but I'm guessing Carina UK snapped you up straight away? How did you find out that The Vineyard was going to be published?
I wrote the first three chapters and a synopsis and sent it to a few competitions the first year and it was from one of those I was asked if I would like a one-to-one with an editor. Of course, I did. The Editor asked me to send it in once completed which I did and six weeks later, I got 'the call'. I've been really lucky. Carina UK was the first publisher I sent it to.
4.) The relationship between two of your characters, Lizzie and her mother Caroline, was a bumpy one at times. You opened the story exceptionally well, hooking me right away with the uneasy feeling that Lizzie had as she arrived at her mother's home. Do you have any personal experience of there being a gap between mother and daughter?
Yes, it was a rather stormy beginning. I thought Lizzie was awful to her mother but as a parent herself, I wanted her to develop as a person so I thought the challenges a single mother has to face, such as making important decisions for themselves, Lizzie was the ideal character. She had to find her own way. I've not experienced it myself but know some single parents. As for my personal experience, my mother and I did go through a bumpy patch when I was a teenager but probably like most people I suppose I could relate to their misunderstanding of one another.
5.) The story kind of jumps between England and France, which I adored! Was it fun writing the settings for these two places?
So much fun, escaping to your favourite places physically and mentally. It's my idea of bliss.
6.) Could you tell me some of the main themes that are included in The Vineyard? Were there any hidden messages at all?
I'd like to turn this question back to you - what messages did you get? The main themes are betrayal, mistrust and fear. Lizzie imagined her mother would react badly because that was the behaviour she had learned when she did things wrong. She did the same with Cal. Because she had been cheated. She had difficulty trusting his motivation. Sometimes, insecurities have a way of eating into you. My main message was for women to stay strong no matter what life throws your way - the rewards can be exponential!
7.) I understand the writing process can be difficult at times. Were there any moments when you wanted to give up? What would normally get you motivated when it comes to writing?
Not whilst I was writing it. Weirdly, it was a week or two before I got 'the call'. I was preparing for NaNoWriMo and, I had begun planning my second novel, and for a couple of days I kept asking myself - do you seriously think your writing is good enough! Writing is a heavy investment in time and I'm sure many writers ask themselves the same question! Yes, I soon recovered!
8.) Were any parts of The Vineyard based on your own true-life experiences?
Intrinsically, probably. I don't think any writer can create a work which doesn't have parts of them in there. But, my love of travel. Being a mother, raising children, having grandchildren around. Even before I knew my mother had breast cancer, my character had it. I would have loved my mum to have had the same outcome as Caroline but sadly, she died last July, so I could really feel the pain that the disease has and how it can impact all those close.
9.) Are there any writers out there that you would consider as a mentor? Are there any that influence you in your own writing style?
There's not a mentor as such but certainly influences from many writers.
10.) Are you working on anything at the moment? Could you share a little bit with us?
I'm working on my next novel which is another contemporary romance. It's set in London and on the stunning Swiss Riviera.
11.) Would you say that there are any similarities between yourself and Lizzie?
I would say we are both very determined women with a high degree of determination to succeed and enjoy family life.
12.) Do you see yourself still writing in five years time?
I hope so, yes. As long as readers want to read, I will write. I've wanted this for a long time and there's nothing I'd like more than to spend the rest of my life writing! I will always want to improve my writing too, so that in itself is my challenge!
13.) Karen, do you have any advice for aspiring writers? Any tips to give them?
Simply, finish the novel! Once you have the first draft, you will be surprised what you have created and then, work to improve it. And so on...
Karen, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions! It's been brilliant having you here on Becca's Books :)

Seth Sentry – Simple Game (My Fan Made Music Video)
April 16, 2018 Bedlam
Music, Music Video
I made this for a University Project that asked us to “remediate” an existing piece of media, that is remix, mashup and repackage some existing media to make it something altogether different. I decided to add visuals to my favourite track from Melbourne MC Seth Sentry’s debut, “The Waiter Minute EP”,
Being a Uni project we had to watch out for copyright infringement, and so I challenged myself to only use media licensed via an appropriate Creative Commons license.
I together the visuals from two short films shared under a CCBY lisence, and wove together to create an ambiguous yet compelling narrative.:
This Day from James Hollins https://vimeo.com/45214144
Courbes from Indigo Production https://vimeo.com/97409396
Short visuals are also taken from the following shared to Vimeo under a CCBY license:
The Way to Wealth: Bumper from Long Hollow Creative https://vimeo.com/27396128

DAMN. – Kendrick Lamar
May 24, 2017 Bedlam
Music, Review
“I got, I got, I got, I got
Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
Cocaine quarter piece, got war and peace inside my DNA
I got power, poison, pain and joy inside my DNA
I got hustle though, ambition, flow, inside my DNA”
‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ was about the trials and tribulations of African American society. ‘DAMN.’ is about the trials and tribulations of being Kendrick Lamar, the number one rapper in the world.
Every track here has a one word title, all in caps, with a full stop at the end; Kendrick has a point with each one, and he’s keeping that point sharp. Themes of religion are intermixed with experiences in the music industry, along with themes of humanity explored through Kendrick’s experiences.
In the intro skit, ‘BLOOD.’ Kendrick is shot by an old blind woman he tries to help. I imagine the old woman represents the old blind music industry. Kendrick wants to help it find what it has lost; credibility, legitimacy and true talent; but the industry responds kills him.
The next track, ‘DNA.’ , is an exploration of Kendrick’s roots; what lies in his DNA. This is a personal album for Kendrick, we’re exploring his DNA. The song highlights duality, another theme explored throughout the album. Kendrick’s flow here is immaculate, this is Kendrick the rapper at his very best; just two verses, broken by a bridge. No hook, but catchy as hell.
Sampled at the end of ‘BLOOD.’ and during ‘DNA.’ is a Geraldo Rivera Fox News segment criticising Kendrick’s performance of ‘Alright’ at the BET awards. The second verse of the third track, ‘YAH.’ also addresses the segment, where Geraldo claimed that Kendrick is an example of why “hip-hop has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism”. Geraldo is whitesplaining why young African-Americans cause their own problems, and has no idea what he is talking about. Kendrick’s skill is in portraying the struggles of his community better than anyone. Geraldo and those like him need to shut up and listen.
Kendrick’s relationship to God is explored through his relationship to music and the industry.
In ‘YAH.’ he sees inspiration as God talking to him, expressed as blips on his radar that go, “Yah” (Yahweh).
‘PRIDE.’, depicts Kendrick’s success distancing him from God, enjoying it gets in the way of being the human he wants to be.
And finally on the track ‘GOD.’ Kendrick explains how the adulation he recieves makes him feel like a God, that everything he does is divine, before reminding himself that he is just a man and what he does is a tribute to the divine.
Each of these songs have very chilled beats with slower, ‘everyday talking’ type rapping, Kendrick uses this style of beat and rapping when he is coming from an internal place on the album.
The three songs that follow ‘YAH.’ explore Kendrick’s relationship with the music industry, and have heavier beats and faster rapping.
‘ELEMENT.’ is Kendrick’s declaration that he is the best at what he does, and reflects on how the trials he endured took him here.
On ‘FEEL.’ Kendrick explores the isolation his success elicits in him, he dominates an industry he considers toxic and no amount of success can drive away his depression.
He teams up with Rhianna on ‘LOYALTY.’ to explore how it so important and so difficult to surround yourself with loyal people, to the point where loyalty is the most desirable trait in a relationship.
The hardest hitting beat on the album comes directly after the chill of ‘PRIDE.’, and differs both in feel and lyric.
‘HUMBLE.’ is the first single from the album and one of the songs of the year; bound to be near the top of all the year end countdowns.
It’s Kendrick telling all those who are constantly trying to take his place at the top of the hip-hop heap, that he got to where he is by being humble, and now he’s arrived, he doesn’t need to be humble, they do.
He takes aim at the frauds perpetuated by the media and the industry, recounts his own story and demands his due respect.
Everything works in this song: the beat is infectious, Kendrick’s flow and wordplay are as awesome, and the hook, simply “Bitch be humble, Sit down” repeated ad nauseam, works as it shouldn’t.
The following two tracks, ‘LUST.’ and ‘LOVE.’ explore two contrasting sides of human relationships.
‘LUST.’ depicts using short term satisfaction to drive away the monotony of the everyday as ultimately a waste of one’s time and effort.
‘LOVE.’ explores a deeper relationship, most probably the one with his fiance Whitney Alford, that reveals the flaws in his character and offers opportunity for growth and a connection with the divine.
Once again the music and rap flow contrasts, heavy, fast and chaotic on ‘LUST.’, slow, genuine and chilled on ‘LOVE.’
The remaining three songs use stories from Kendrick’s life to demonstrate definitive human themes.
‘XXX.’ recounts the death of a friend’s son and his inability to offer forgiveness, lusting for revenge. It’s about how love can make us do the most terrible things.
‘FEAR’. explores Kendrick’s relationship with fear throughout life. At seven, fear of getting in trouble and experiencing his mother’s wrath. At 17, fear of a gang-related death. At 27 he fear of not being good enough as a rapper, having his inspiration dry up and opportunity pass him by.
The final track, ‘DUCKWORTH.’, explores coincidence through the curious tale of how an act of self-preservation by his father towards his eventual label boss not only may have saved his father’s life and ensured he steered Kendrick away from gangs, but also ensured there was someone to start the label than catapulted Kendrick’s career.
In ‘DAMN.’ Kendrick Lamar has created yet another Hip-Hop masterpiece. It’s a personal record that proves Kendrick is one of the best, not only of his generation, but of all time. It’s a lesson to every other rapper in the game of how hip-hop is done right.
Humanz – Gorillaz
“The sky’s falling baby, Drop that ass ‘fore it crash”
Everyone’s favourite Blur front man is back with his band of animated primates.
It’s been seven years since the last proper Gorillaz album, 2010’s ‘Plastic Beach’ (although there was a studio album released for free to fans on Christmas that year, a singles compilation in 2011 and a promotional single with Andre 3000 and James Murphy in 2012).
For a while there it looked like it might not happen, but Noodles, 2D, Murdoc and Russel have returned with a Double Album, Humanz, and as always they’ve brought a bunch of famous friends along.
Humanz isn’t as immediately catching as 2005’s Demon Days, and isn’t likely to be quite as successful, but it did impress on me enough to warrant subsequent listens, and as I listened I started to get what Damon and his all-star collaborators have created.
Vince Staples guests on the opening track; the bouncy dance number, Ascension, and the hook reveals the theme of this album, “The sky’s falling, baby Drop that ass ‘fore it crash”, it’s all gonna be over soon, let’s party while we can. They call it a party album for the end of the world.
It’s catchy alt-pop with a message that isn’t immediately apparent, but is no less powerful; a concept album that tells the story of the decline of humanity, but leaves with a message of hope.
We’re taken on a journey from humanities loss of connection (‘Strobelite’ and ‘Saturn Barz’) and control (‘Submission’ and ‘Charger’), finding reprieve, as so many of us do, in a Nightclub (‘Andromeda’) before we explore humanities effort to distract itself, through the Internet (‘Busted and Blue’ ) and consumerism (‘Carnival’), finally falling to despair (‘Let Me Out’). The first track released from the album, ‘Hallelujah Money’ is a slow gospel inspired track worshiping Humanities new God, the dollar. The album then turns a corner and turns up the energy with the intensely positive ‘We’ve Got the Power’. ‘Out of Body’ finds the connection humanity has been missing on the dance floor, whilst ‘Ticker Tape’ eschews the advantage and risks of our technological drive. The final track, ‘Circle of Friendz’ offers humanity a way out of their peril, through maintaining and finding strength in a close circle of friends.
Musically, the album is far more varied than previous releases, highlighted by the sudden transition from the slow, haunting “Hallelujah Money’ to the high energy positivity of ‘We Got The Power’. Gorillaz are representing the dualistic nature of our current society. On the one hand we are richer and more capable than any point in history, whilst on the other we are destroying our planet at an alarming rate. The melancholy Daman Albarns puts into his voice when singing as 2D, contrasted with the powerful vocalists that helped make this album, forthing highlights this duality.
Highlights on the album for me include the motown style party jam ‘Strobelite’ with Peven Everrett, the chilled out electronica of ‘Andromeda’ and Grace Jones’ commanding vocals over the driving synth rock of ‘Charger’.
De La Soul, who featured on Gorillaz biggest hit, the classic ‘Feel Good Inc’, return for the manic boom bap of ‘Moments’. This track is all over the place, De La Soul rap about sexual conquest, whilst 2D sings of race issues, but somehow it works, maybe because it’s all over the place.
When I first heard ‘Hallelujah Money’ I was worried. Sure, the sentiment was spot on, but it is just so very unGorillaz, but on this album it fits perfect, especially transitioning to ‘We Got the Power’.
My favourite song on the album though, would have to be “Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)” featuring Popcaan. It’s a wonderfully clean, catchy Gorillaz song inspired by reggae roots of the creators.
Humanz is a protest against the current state of American and world politics, but it does it without getting angry. ‘Aint nobody going to kill their vibe.
I don’t think it’s Gorillaz best album (I give ‘Demon Days’ that honor), but I’d say it’s their most mature. I’d put it around about on par with the raw energy of their 2001 self-titled debut, and above ‘Plastic Beach’.
Humanz tells the tail of our times. Informing the listener whilst remaining as detached as possible, it remains hopeful, but realistic. It keeps moving, so as not to get bogged down in the emotion of it all, all the while keeping the listener moving.
The Music Industry and the Internet: Losing Control, Finding Innovation
Internet, mp3, Music, Peer To Peer, Streaming
Why Copyright Doesn’t Work on the Internet
The copyright legislation we have today originated with the Berne Convention, an International copyright agreement drafted by the Association Littéraire et Artistique Internationale (International Literary and Art Association) first ratified in 1886; it’s been extended and altered, but the principles are the same.
Berne gave creators certain exclusive rights over their work, most notably the right to reproduce and broadcast. It was seen as essential that authors were able to control the production and distribution of their works, and at the time it was possible because producing records and printing books required expensive equipment, and the right to broadcast on air was regulated. The centralised nature of production and distribution made it controllable.
Representative bodies took responsibility for control of production and distribution, and from them a copyright industry was born that became influential and lucrative, attracting the interest of the corporate sector, who bought the rights to authors works and began to take control of the industry.
The industry lobbied and pressured governments and legislation was enacted that looked after the interests of a few individuals who controlled the copyright industry, artists’ and the public’s interests were second to corporate stakeholders[1].
The centralised control of the industry held our collective creative works ransom, and then along came the Internet.
The Internet was created as a collaborative space and was therefore made open, distributed and multi-platform[2], this is the principle of Net Neutrality, meaning that all data on the Internet is created equal.
Many believe it is this principle that is responsible for the Internet’s success, in the words of Internet founding father Vint Cerf:
“By placing intelligence at the edges rather than control in the middle…, the Internet has created a platform for innovation” -Vint Cerf in a letter to Congress on Net Nuetrality.
The Internet is not conducive to centralised control and so copyright, as it has traditionally been applied, is incompatible with the online environment.
Social media further complicates the situation, as we share and remix copyrighted works with little concern for copyright legislation, which is infringed on so regularly that prosecution is impossible.
In Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy, Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig explains that social media has created its own distinct economy, a social economy, where reputation is valued higher than dollars and attributing a source is enough to satisfy copyright.
A remix culture has been born through social media that encourages the creation of derivative works and sees it as tribute to the original works, if copyright is imposed in this environment it could supress a creative surge:
“Why should it be that just when technology is most encouraging of creativity, the law should be most restrictive?” – Lawrence Lessig in ‘Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy’
The Origins of Music on the Internet
At the turn of the 21st century, as the Internet became a media platform, the music industry epitomised centralised control. Five major labels possessed up to 90% of the market, colluding to maximise their profits by artificially inflating CD prices.
In ‘How Music Got Free’ Stephen Witt tells the story of mp3, an audio compression codec designed by the Fraunhofer Institute, that had missed out on MPEG certification for streaming audio to the technically inferior, but corporate sponsored, mp2 format.
Fraunhofer repackaged mp3 as a new generation music format, creating a DOS-based shareware encoder, L3Enc, and a prototype mp3 player to help market it. They met with a representative from major label BMG, but the music industry, making huge profits off CDs, did not want change.
Fraunhofer had given up on mp3 when downloads of L3Enc suddenly spiked, they discovered that the codec was being used to create unlicensed copies of copyrighted popular music and distribute them online.
As respecters of copyright, Fraunhofer objected to this use of their technology and went to the RIAA with a newly created copy-protectable version of mp3, informing them of the breach and offering a solution.
They were told the industry did not believe in electronically distributing music, and the record industry’s fate was sealed.
In 1999 the peer-to-peer file sharing app Napster, brought pirated mp3 music to the mainstream, and record sales began a long decline.
The RIAA sued Napster, and as it was centrally controlled by a
server which mapped peers it was able to be stopped, and in July 2000, unable to comply with legal requirements, Napster ceased operation, but peer-to-peer file sharing had just begun.
Peer-to-peer file sharing continues to this day; Napster led to Grokster, which led to Kazaa, which led to Bit Torrent, which is decentralised , open source and particularly good at sharing pirated material; proving impossible to stop.
The record industry was devastated, suffering fifteen straight years of revenue decline and a drop in sales of $11.63 billion.
When called on to innovate, the RIAA and the major labels resisted change. They sued everyone they could: file sharers, network operators, websites, software companies[3]; two of the majors didn’t survive, and now three major labels control 60% of the industry.
Innovation From the Edges
The failure of the major labels to alter their approach to the new environment created an opportunity for Independent artists who were willing to innovate.
Independent songstress Amanda Palmer has been hugely successful on social media and outlines why in her memoir, ‘The Art of Asking’.
Amanda takes an open and candid approach to social media; instead of seeking to project a calculated image, she presents herself genuinely, engages regularly, converses with fans and approaches interactions with a mixture of vulnerability and enthusiasm.
She also involves fans on social media; she regularly announces on Twitter that she’ll be putting on a surprise “ninja-gig” in a public place, she regularly thanks fans and constantly responds to their comments, and she also makes requests of fans on Twitter, be it a hot meal before a show, a musician to jam with or a place to stay (she couchsurfed an entire tour earlier in her career, getting a peak into the home lives of her fans).
Amanda claims that artists have a tendency to devalue their work, and by packaging and putting a price tag on it, they insulate themselves from the vulnerability it takes to put out work with the trust that it will be valuable enough to the public for them to respond to a request for support in making more. Commodifying art inherently devalues it:
“Giving away free content, for me, was about the value of the music becoming the connection itself.” – Amanda Palmer
Amanda’s approach is very successful for her; in 2012 she created one of the most successful music Kickstarter campaigns ever, asking for a hundred thousand dollars to create an album and art book and tour, she raised $1.2 million; and she has nearly 12,000 patrons on the Patreon site who give her over $40,000 every time she releases media to them.
Amanda is a wonderful example of the success that can be achieved online with an open and innovative approach.
Streaming Back to the Top
Streaming music services have created a new era for music online, slowly eroding piracy, it fell by 6% last year (and interestingly, pirates have also moved towards streaming, with streaming of pirated content more popular than p2p), and returning the industry to growth, the music industry has undergone two consecutive years of positive revenue movement since 2014.
The major labels have seen an opportunity here and are exploiting it; the revenue distribution methods naturally favour them and they have increased their share by acquiring stakes in the most popular services. Some believe it may return the major labels to industry domination.
Streaming music services create an environment similar to the traditional media environment, existing in an isolated content network that has control as a feature, no wonder the majors are drawn to it.
The control that streaming music gives the majors is isolated, and not centralised like that of traditional media. It also does nothing for their standing in the social economy that is becoming increasingly important in the current media environment, in fact, in the current environment, if they engage in similar anti-competitive behaviours to what they did in the 90s, they may irreparably damage their social capital.
The Internet has forever altered the music industry, invalidating the centralised control that copyright gave it, and whilst there may be hope that streaming media services can usher back that control, it will only ever give it isolated control, because on the Internet control is never central, there is always room for innovation from the edges.

True Detective Season 2 IMDB
Review & Recap: 'True Detective' Season 2, Episode 4 'Down Will Come'
13 July 2015 5:21 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
It’s time to call it, even though many already have, starting with the first episode. As the second season of “True Detective” heads into its second half with episode four, “Down Will Come, ” we have to admit that having given it a fair shot, this thing is bad. At least it’s entertaining, interesting bad at times, though the Lynchian ripoff weirdness of last week’s episode three is sorely lacking in episode four. There’s been a pattern of using cliffhangers to keep us coming back week to week—a rather “meh” episode capped off with an insane event, and “Down Will Come” definitely delivers that. Directed by TV journeyman Jeremy Podeswa (“Game Of Thrones, ” "Boardwalk Empire, " "The Tudors, " "Six Feet Under, " "Queer As Folk"), there’s a slowly measured pace to the first half of this episode that is livened up in the last part only by »

I think I committed every possible absurdity in the way of preparation for this blessed event. I turn hot when I remember the cravat I bought. My boots might be placed in any collection of instruments of torture. I provided, and sent down by the Norwood coach the night before, a delicate little hamper, amounting in itself, I thought, almost to a declaration.
Charles Dickens - David Copperfield
The room partially lighted by damar torches; the clang of the noisy instruments; the crowd of wild spectators; their screams of encouragement to the performers; the flowing hair and rapid evolutions of the dancers, formed a scene I wish could have been reduced to painting by such a master as Rembrandt or Caravaggio.
Rajah of Sarawak James - The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido
For the Suppression of Piracy
The things that we carried were necessities food, medicines, bedding, instruments for determining the altitude and longitude and latitude except a few books, each in small compass: Lyra's were in German, consisting of two tiny volumes of Goethe and Schiller; Kermit's were in Portuguese; mine, all in English, included the last two volumes of Gibbon, the plays of Sophocles, More's "Utopia," Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus, the two latter lent me by a friend, Major Shipton of the regulars, our military attaché at Buenos Aires.
Theodore Roosevelt - Through the Brazilian Wilderness
To turn a modern thermometer into a thermoscope we need only remove the figures from its scale. If we make the experiment with two such thermoscopes we at once become aware of something which usually escapes us, our attention being fixed on the figures recorded by the two instruments.
Ernst Lehrs - Man or Matter
At the present time the contrary prevails; the community is always thinking of enforcing the penal laws, and of preparing means of punishment, instruments of death and chastisement, places for imprisonment and banishment; and they expect crimes to be committed. This has a demoralizing effect.
`Abdu'l-Bahá - Some Answered Questions
His idea was that if God had decreed that through all eternity certain men should die of small pox, it was a frightful sin to endeavor to prevent it; that plagues and pestilence were instruments in the hands of God with which to gain the love and worship of mankind; to find the cure for the disease was to take the punishment from the Church.
Robert Green Ingersoll - Lectures of Col. R. G. Ingersoll, Volume I
Including His Answers to the Clergy,
His Oration at His Brother's Grave, Etc., Etc.
So let me remind you how here, in these little unnumbered acts of trivial transgression which scarcely produce any effect on conscience or on memory, but make up so large a portion of so many of our lives, lies one of the most powerful instruments for making us what we are. If we indulge in slight acts of transgression be sure of this, that we shall pass from them to far greater ones.
Alexander Maclaren - Expositions of Holy Scripture
Second Kings Chapters VIII to End and Chronicles, Ezra,
and Nehemiah. Esther, Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes
All the instruments of the natural philosopher are the products of art; the adjusting one of them for use is an art; there is art in making an observation with one of them; it requires art properly to treat the facts ascertained; nay, even the employing established generalisations to open the way to new generalisations, may be considered as art.
Herbert Spencer - Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects
The only tools the settlers took were the two woodmen's axes, which they could use to cut a path through the thick forests, as also the instruments, the telescope and pocket-compass.
Jules Verne - The Mysterious Island
In the middle was as plain a table, with half a dozen books, a microscope under a glass shade, a little wooden case which was opened to display an array of delicate scientific instruments, a Bunsen burner, which was burning bluely under a small glass bowl half filled with a dark and turgid concoction of some kind.

Angel Ambrose Bloomington, IL
Ambrose paints contemporary, conceptual landscapes. She uses landscapes as an arena for commentary on her life and the world around her. Her stylized tress become figures on a stage and the landscape becomes the backdrop. She chooses lyrical titles to add a sense of poetry to the paintings. Ambrose uses color symbolically to convey an inward vision rather than one of realism. Her paintings call you to step into her painted safe heavens to rest from the trials of this world.
Ambrose received her BFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her work has been exhibited at the Carroll Reece Museum in Tennessee and throughout Illinois including the Springfield Art Museum, Illinois Sate Museum of Springfield, Mitchell Museum in Mount Vernon, Eureka College, McLean County Art Center of Bloomington, University Galleries in Normal, and the Phoenix Gallery in Bloomington. Her studio is open for First Friday events located at 101 W Monroe St, Suite 201 in Downtown Bloomington.

Mission 6 — Sunday, 21 May 44 — Siracourt
Hitler's V-1 rocket program was still striking London. The Mighty 8th was furnished updated intelligence reporting the possible locations of the crossbow sites. The 2nd Air Division was ordered to the Siracourt area again. Pathfinders were dispatched to lead the raids on the camouflaged targets.
The Group put up 22 ships and crews to attack a No Ball near St. Paul, France. No Ball is a slang term for a crossbow site. One of the planes had to abort during assembly.
The 8th Air Force didn't dispatch nearly as many fighter escorts as it had on the last run to Siracourt. By this time the Luftwaffe was practically non-existent in western France.
Absolutely none. The flak guns couldn't locate the Group because of clouds, thrown chaff and radar jamming equipment flown by a special squadron. If there were any enemy fighters left stationed in the area, they didn't come up to challenge the Allies.
Some of the other groups did encounter flak at their targets. Although the 8th Air Force didn't lose any bombers or escorts that day, they did have some damaged ones.
Since the V-1 rocket bases were well hidden under camouflage, the mission's success couldn't be gauged. Like before, the Pathfinders marked the spot and the Group dropped there. For whatever reasons, 2 of the credited sorties weren't able to bomb their target.
The return trip home was like a Sunday drive. And yes, this mission was on a Sunday. Every crew wished that all of their remaining missions would be this easy.
Perhaps the 492nd needed an easy mission after the hard luck they had on the last one. Certainly the choice for the day's target wasn't based on the Group's emotional needs, but it was timely just the same. The missions to France were getting easier. That price had been paid by the deep missions into Germany.
City: Siracourt, France
Target: Crossbow
Result: n/a
Flak: None
GAF: None

15° Laboratory™
The 15º Laboratory's Name
The Laboratory's Mission
Giverny Award Description
Giverny Award Winner List
2019 Giverny Award
2011 Giverny Winner
Lab Director Contact Info
Analyzing and improving biology instruction...
This R&D laboratory focuses on improving science learning and science literacy via Visual Probes, Templates, and Filters.™
The Laboratory coined this phrase to encapsulate the various roles that the visual knowledge representations and visually-based instructional media it designs and tests can play in promoting understanding of biology and improving biology learning.
Although his own research in this area began in 1980, the 15° Lab was founded by Dr. Jim Wandersee of LSU in 1996 for the ultimate purpose of helping today's K-12 and college students understand the big ideas in contemporary life sciences, and to enjoy doing so. Later, the mission was expanded to improving public understanding of science in informal science education venues.
To these ends, he circumscribed the primary mission of the 15° Laboratory to be
1. Conducting science education research and instructional design targeted at improving students' learning of important biological (and especially botanical) concepts, principles, and theories via visual probes, templates, and filters.
2. Encouraging his own biology education Ph.D. students to
A. pursue a Ph.D. research project within the scope of the Laboratory's mission, and
B. to establish their own research programs focused upon particular key content topics within the life sciences that learners find most challenging--linking their research programs to human constructivist learning theory, cognitive mapping theory, visual cognition research findings, and Tufte's 4-volume theory of information architecture.
The 15° Laboratory was inspired, in part, by the ideas of the noted science learning theorist and life science educator, Professor emeritus Joseph D. Novak. Novak held joint appointments in Biology and Education at Cornell University--where Dr. Jim Wandersee did seven summers of post-doc work under him.
Dr. Novak is well-known as the interpreter and elaborator of the Assimilation Theory of Meaningful Learning originally advanced by psychologist David Ausubel. This theory is now known as "Human Constructivism" and is explicated in the recent book TEACHING SCIENCE FOR UNDERSTANDING (Academic Press), edited and authored by J. J. Mintzes, J. H. Wandersee, and J. D. Novak. Joel Mintzes is retired Professor of Biological Sciences at the California State University--Chico. Professor Novak was Dr. Wandersee's mentor in his post-doctoral work at Cornell University during the 1980s, and the team continued its writing projects-- including the book, ASSESSING SCIENCE UNDERSTANDING (Academic Press). Lab members have research chapters published in the HANDBOOK OF COLLEGE SCIENCE TEACHING (NSTA-Macmillan, 2006) edited by J.J. Mintzes and W. Leonard.
The work of the Laboratory has also been heavily influenced by the visual thought of the respected information design theorist, Edward R. Tufte, of Yale University--author of the theoretic quadrilogy: THE VISUAL DISPLAY OF QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION, ENVISIONING INFORMATION, VISUAL EXPLANATIONS, and BEAUTIFUL EVIDENCE. Dr. Wandersee took two information architecture courses under Professor Tufte. Tufte considers exemplary scientific graphics to be "cognitive art."
In this respect, Tufte's ideas and those of the Laboratory are quite compatible with the psychological/visual art perspectives of another influential theorist, Robert L. Solso, author of COGNITION AND THE VISUAL ARTS.
The Laboratory also uses Keith Kenney's (2009) VISUAL COMMUNICATION RESEARCH DESIGNS methodology, plus selected mixed methodologies.
Drs. Jim Wandersee, Dennis Wissing, and Lynda Britton wrote and edited a leading bioeducation technology textbook--BIOINSTRUMENTATION: TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING BIOLOGY, published by National Association of Biology Teachers Press.
Professor Kathleen M. Fisher (KMF), a biologist in the Department of Biology at San Diego State University, continues to influence the Laboratory's thinking through her biology education books, computer software, and expert advice on representing large knowledge biological knowledge bases in the form of node-based, computerized semantic networks.
The book, MAPPING BIOLOGY KNOWLEDGE, was co-authored by Dr. Kathleen Fisher, Dr. Jim Wandersee, and Dr. David Moody; it was published by Kluwer Academic Publishers (2000, paperback: 2002) and is the only book in existence devoted exclusively to this life science content topic.
From this brief synopsis, it should be obvious that the Laboratory conducts theory-driven, evidence-based research and development of visual instructional materials. It works primarily at the intersections of (a) visual cognition, (b) historical and contemporary scientific knowledge representation, and (c) human constructivist-based biology education.
Across the years, over 50 graduate students have pursued their Ph.D.s under the aegis of the Lab. These members of the Lab continue its mission, and promote research initiated by the late Dr. Wandersee. Professor Renee M. Clary, Mississippi State University, serves as the current Lab Director.

Local Harlot Exposes Face, Neck
APPETITE FOR DISCUSSION :: WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?
by Soulmonster on Sun Aug 21, 2011 10:23 pm
This story originally appeared in the Damascus Herald-Star. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Seamstress and mother of five Fatma al-Qaawi was photographed in broad daylight with her face, hair and neck exposed. The community has rallied behind God and stoned the insidious harlot to death.
An area harlot exposed her face and neck to the naked eyes of several area men yesterday, stirring deep within them filthy and sinful desires. The harlot, area seamstress and mother of five Fatma al-Qaawi, was witnessed in the act of removing her protective headgear and veil in the town marketplace, in plain view of the public.
According to witnesses’ reports, after exposing the men to her brazen display of wanton, uncensored sexuality, al-Qaawi rocked back and forth slightly, allowing her hair to blow gently in the mid-morning breeze, deliberately goading the men into thoughts of hell-spawned lustful abandon. Although she quickly replaced the shawl and veil, the damage had already been done.
Experts agree that in doffing her outerwear, the temptress was clearly in league with Satan. Witnesses reported experiencing feelings of rapture, awe and trembling admiration of her beauty, all known effects of succubi sent by Lucifer to suck Heaven’s virtue from the souls of men.
“Her hair shone with a thousand shimmering strands of purest gossamer, framing her lovely, nude face with a glory worthy of the raiments of Gabriel,” witness Rafiq al-Jabir said. “It was clear that she was a powerful succubus, a vassal of demonic spirits from beneath Hell.”
Al-Jabir then retreated to a private chamber to scourge his back with merciless flaying in an attempt to quell his spiritual pain.
The lust al-Qaawi provoked may have overcome and eternally corrupted the various men who could not avert their eyes in time to avoid glimpsing her exposed shame. Shortly after exposing herself, the harlot was stoned in the public square, saving the town’s souls from the risk of growing contamination at the hands of her lurid, sinful perversion of all that is holy.
Reports as of press time indicate that many of the witnesses’ wives and daughters are currently forsaking their usual regimen of duties and instead singing triumphant hymns of praise and adoration to He Who Rules On High in thanks for the harlot’s death.
“The hair, the face, even a slight wedge of skin below the neckline—nothing was left to the imagination,” one anonymous witness said. Shortly after seeing the shocking parade of scantily clad female flesh, the witness was overwhelmed by an intense compulsion to woo the woman, plying her affections with gifts of the finest ointments, vowing his undying devotion and forsaking all others, until the stoning began.
“Her mortal frame was a vessel for damnation’s temptresses to walk the earth in human form, leading the righteous away from God, and thus, needed to be brutally broken and cut down by the redemptive hand—the only kind of justice a harlot can know: sheer bloodletting,” said area rug trader Malik al-Faziz, who organized the impromptu stoning by pointing at al-Qaawi and shouting, “Harlot!” while brandishing a large rock until others came to his aid.
Reports indicate that so great was the temptation to sin caused by al-Qaawi’s disclosure that 30 or more men felt a need to purify themselves by participating in the woman’s stoning, which observers said took less than three minutes.
“I am very sorry that I am related to my late sister, henceforth disowned by my family and referred to only as She Who Cannot Be Named,” said al-Qaawi’s youngest sibling Yasmeen in a desperate attempt to restore family honor.
The harlot’s corpse has been dragged through the streets in accordance with the law and then cut into pieces and fed to crows by her sons, all of whom have written to the town elders begging that their mother’s depravity be forever stricken from all public record.
“It is true that we are but lowly whoresons,” a portion of their letter read, “but we pray that in God’s wisdom our grandchildren will not be known as whores-grandchildren.”
The Council of Elders is currently debating this request.
“Just seeing her face all naked made me wonder what else she had under those loose flowing robes. Arms? Legs? A writhing, painted torso? I am an unmarried man and have never seen a woman’s body—not even in the heathen overseas broadcasts of the demonic women’s gymnastics, about which horrible things I have heard whispered in the night,” said one witness, who asked to remain anonymous. “Yet, from this day forth even my fevered dreams will not be free of my beloved, trouncing trollop, trumpeting the siren song of Satan.”
No fewer than 15 stonings and beheadings are expected as a result of the incident. All those who will be killed are confirmed demons.

Undefeated Super Middleweight Ronald Ellis returns this Saturday night against Taneal Goyco in Ashburn, Virginia
Nutley, NJ (November 3, 2017)–Undefeated super middleweight Ronald “Flatline” Ellis returns from a tenth month hiatus when he takes on perennial spoiler Taneal Goyco this Saturday night at The Silver Eagle Gun Arena in Ashburn, Virginia.
Ellis (14-0-1, 10 KOs) will be making his ring return following surgery for an injured hand.
He injured the hand in his January 20th bout with Christopher Brooker. That bout was televised on ShoBox: The New Generation.
“I had the surgery in April. I took my time and had a good camp, and now I am ready to go on Saturday,” said Ellis.
In Goyco, he has facing a tough opponent who has already notched upset wins over Frankie Filippone (14-2-1), Jeremy Trussell (8-0), Dennis Hasson (16-1), Devin Butcher (5-0) and former Ellis foe Jerry Odom (14-2-1).
To say that Goyco has a deceiving record at 9-10-1 is a huge understatement.
“I don’t know too much about him other than he has some wins over some undefeated guys as well as Jerry Odom. But he is from Philadelphia, so I know he is tough,”continued Ellis. “My had is good, my weight is good, so I expect a good performance on Saturday.”
Ellis believes that with a win on Saturday, he is set up for a big 2018.
“I see my amateur rivals getting big fights, so it’s time to get what is mine. Super Middleweight is a good division with a lot of good fighters like (WBO Champion) Gilberto Ramirez, Jesse Hart, (WBC Champion) David Benavidez, Ronald Gavril, and I fit in right in the mix with all of them. Also in the right situation and if the fight was worth it, I could make 160 pounds. I am usually the smaller guy in the ring when I fight at Super Middleweight. Next year will be my year, but it starts on Saturday. I am going to put on a show and in 2018 it’s going to be hunting season.”
Ellis is promoted by GH3 Promotions, and CEO Vito Mielnicki is echoing the thoughts of his prized super middleweight.
“I am looking forward to Ronald getting back in the ring on Saturday. Goyco is a solid opponent. I think Ronald will have an outstanding performance, and the plan is getting him back on television in the first quarter of 2018, and with another win or two, I can see him fighting for a world title.”

Charles Hayward (born 1951) is an English drummer and was a founding member of the experimental rock groups This Heat and Camberwell Now.[1] He also played with Mal Dean's Amazing Band, Dolphin Logic, and gigged and recorded with Phil Manzanera in the group Quiet Sun project as well as a short stint with Gong.[2] He was a session musician on The Raincoats' second album, Odyshape,[3] and on one occasion played drums for the anarchist punk band Crass.[4] Since the late 1980s, Hayward has released several solo projects and participated in various collaborations, most notably Massacre with Bill Laswell and Fred Frith.[1]

In 1976, Hayward and fellow Charles Bullen began practising with bassist Gareth Williams under the name This Heat. They began to experiment with tape loops, found sounds and keyboards on several sessions (recorded from 1976 to 1978, but not released until 1979). Finally, in 1979, This Heat released their self-titled debut album. 1981's Deceit marked the final new album from This Heat, Williams leaving just after its release. While Bullen began working as a studio engineer, Hayward did sessions for Lora Logic, The Raincoats and Everything but the Girl before forming Camberwell Now with bassist Trefor Goronwy and tape manipulator Stephen Rickard.[1] The trio released 2 eps Meridian, Greenfingers and 1 album The Ghost Trade through the Swiss Recommended label.[2]
When Camberwell Now disbanded in 1987 Hayward embarked on a solo career which has continued to the present day. He debuted with Survive the Gesture (1987), Skew-whiff (1989) Switch on War (1991) and My Secret Alphabet (with Nick Doyne-Ditmas) in 1993. Three live albums recorded in Japan followed in the late 1990s (released on Japanese label Locus Solus). In 2003 Abracadabra Information was released and 2011 saw the release of ONE BIG ATOM. In 1998, he joined Massacre with Fred Frith and Bill Laswell.[2]
Throughout the 1990s up to the present he has initiated a large number of events and performances, including the series Accidents + Emergencies at the Albany Theatre in Deptford,[5] Out of Body Orchestra, music made from the sound of the new LABAN dance centre being built which was choreographed for the official opening, music for a circus (part of the National Theatre's 'Art of Regeneration' initiative), the full-on installation/performance Anti-Clockwise (with Ashleigh Marsh and David Aylward) for multiple strobes, maze structure of diverse textures, 2 drummers, synthesizers and your nervous system. Recent developments include the CONTINUITY evenings as part of Camberwell Arts. Over the past ten years Hayward has developed these attitudes and insights into a wide range of soundwork, both collaboratively and as a solo artist/performer. These include: 30 MINUTE SNARE DRUM ROLL,[6][7] Zigzag+Swirl, a solo song set at the drums using a system of controlled chance electronics, beginanywhere a set of songs centred around the piano,[8] collaborations with Laura Cannell,[9] Thurston Moore, Keiji Haino amongst many others. Recent work with the Islington Mill crew in the project Anonymous Bash has led to new work with many younger players, including Harmergeddon, DATA QUACK (with Ben Vince, Merlin Nova and Coby Sey) and projects for an array of new record labels including Samarbeta, Care in the Community and Unknown Gods. He also releases material on his own label CONTINUITY..... His long term relationship with the Albany continues with a twice yearly series of performances, workshops and installation, sound is sound is sound which he curates on behalf of Lewisham Arthouse.
In 2019 Whistling Arrow - a sextet comprising three members of Ex-Easter Island Head, Laura Cannell, André Bosman and Charles Hayward published an album out on 22nd November via God Unknown records.[10]

Exclusive (USA)
1953 – March 1983
Shut Out (USA) x Good Example (USA), by Pilate (USA)
Family 10-a
A consistent filly of just below stakes class, Exclusive was not the most attractive of individuals but had the happy ability to transmit her best characteristics to her offspring. An important producer for both Louis Wolfson's Harbor View Farm and John R. Gaines' Gainesway Farm, she made contributions to the Thoroughbred through her son Exclusive Native and through her daughters.
10 starts, 4 wins, 1 second, 3 thirds, US$14,075
A chestnut mare, Exclusive was sickle-hocked and with upright pasterns but was blessed with a long, strong hip and good muscling down through the gaskins.
As a producer
A Reine-de-Course as designated by influential pedigree analyst and racing historian Ellen Parker, Exclusive produced 16 named foals, of which 14 started and 13 won. Her important foals are as follow:
Exclusive Nashua (1959, by Nashua) won the 1964 Armed Handicap. He made little impact as a sire and was exported to Venezuela in 1974.
Irvkup (1961, by Alcibiades II; a gelding) won the 1963 Flash Stakes and 1964 Jerome Handicap.
Mellow Marsh (1963, by Seaneen) won the 1968 Monrovia Handicap. She is the dam of stakes winners Yale Coed (by Majestic Prince), L'Natural (by Raise a Native), Active Voice (by Pretense), Brorita (by Caro) and Manicure Kit (by J. O. Tobin). She is the second dam of multiple Grade I winner Interco and Grade/Group III winners Muscovite, Descent and Shamstar. She is also the third dam of 1985 Italian champion 3-year-old male St. Hilarion, 2001 Indian Oaks winner Allaire, 2000 E. P. Taylor Stakes (CAN-I) winner Fly for Avie, multiple Grade II winner Savinio, and Grade/Group III winners Tippity Witch, Ballet de France and Proud Heiress.
Exclusive Native (1965, by Raise a Native) won the 1967 Sanford Stakes and 1968 Arlington Classic. He was the American champion sire of 1978 and 1979, his get including the great Affirmed and the Kentucky Derby (USA-I)-winning filly Genuine Risk.
Charvak (1966, by Alcibiades II) produced 1977 Nettie Stakes (CAN-III) winner Majestic Kahala (by Majestic Prince) and is the second dam of Grade III winners In the Ruff and Footprint and English Group III winner Malaak. She is also the second dam of Crowning Honors, who took the third leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the Breeders' Stakes, in 1985.
Exclusive Dancer (1967, by Native Dancer) won the 1970 Prioress Stakes. She is the dam of multiple Grade I winner General Assembly (by Secretariat) and multiple Grade III winner Expressive Dance (by Riva Ridge). She is also the second dam of multiple Grade I winner Versailles Treaty, 1992 Brooklyn Handicap (USA-I) winner Chief Honcho and Grade III winner For Kicks. In addition, she is the third dam of 2012 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (USA-IT) winner George Vancouver, 2010 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (ENG-I) winner Poet's Voice, 2013 Ballerina Stakes (USA-I) winner Dance to Bristol, multiple Grade II winner American Chance, Grade II winner Saarland and Grade III winners Lead Kindly Light and Out of Place.
Libro D Oro (1968, by Francis S.) produced listed stakes winner Northern Dundee (by Northern Fashion) and minor stakes winner Night Glimmer (by Our Native).
Exclusive was bred and owned by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. She was trained by Bill Winfrey. When Vanderbilt partially dispersed his stock in 1956, Exclusive brought US$24,000 on a bid from Major Albert Warner, who later sold the mare to Louis Wolfson after the birth of her first foal, Exclusive Nashua. Wolfson, in turn, sold Exclusive to John R. Gaines in 1969 as part of a package of 10 mares. Exclusive produced her last foal, Exclusive Finish, at the advanced age of 28 and died shortly afterward. She was buried at Gainesway Farm.
Exclusive is inbred 4x4 to Peter Pan and Fair Play, 5x4x5 to Fairy Gold and 5x4 to Rock Sand. She was produced from the Pilate mare Good Example and is a half sister to Grass Shack (by Polynesian), dam of 1969 Arlington-Washington Lassie Stakes winner Clover Lane (by Tudor Way), second dam of 1967 Premiere Handicap winner Fleet Discovery and 1976 Cowdin Stakes (USA-II) winner Sail to Rome, and third dam of both 1981 Canadian Horse of the Year and two-time American champion sire Deputy Minister and1999 American Horse of the Year Charismatic. Exclusive is also a half sister to stakes-placed Red Letter Day (by Rosemont), whose five stakes winners include 1967 Jim Dandy Stakes winner Gala Performance (by Native Dancer) and Grade III winners Something Super and Keep the Promise (both by Promised Land). Red Letter Day is also the second dam of 1969 Matron Stakes winner Cold Comfort.
Stakes-placed as a juvenile, Good Example is out of 1935 Schuylerville Stakes winner Parade Girl (by Display), making her a half sister to multiple stakes winner Color Guard (by Occupy). The female line traces back to Court Dress (by Disguise), generally considered the American champion 2-year-old filly of 1906 and an important foundation mare for the Keene and Whitney breeding programs.
Exclusive is one of 22 mares profiled in Edward Bowen's Matriarchs, Volume II: More Great Mares of Modern Times (2008, Eclipse Press).

McLaren to be presenting sponsor at Laguna Seca
Laguna Seca action
McLaren Automotive has been confirmed as Presenting Sponsor of the upcoming IMSA (International Motor Sports Association) race weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The announcement forms part of the multi-year agreement between McLaren Automotive and IMSA which sees the event titled ‘Monterey Sports Car Championship powered by McLaren’ over the weekend 14-15 September at the iconic Californian circuit.
IMSA is a premier sanctioning body for sports car competition in North America, and the racing over the weekend will see McLaren Customer Racing teams AWA Racing, Compass Racing and Motorsports In Action out on track during the weekend’s activities. The races include the final round of the 2019 WeatherTech Sprint Cup, where Compass Racing will push for a strong result with the #76 720S GT3 in the GTD class, while the 570S GT4 will run in the penultimate meeting in the Michelin PILOT Challenge, with the #69 entry of Motorsports In Action still in contention for both the driver and team championships.
Over the course of the weekend, and between qualifying and race sessions for the IMSA races, further McLaren activation will be taking place both on and off track with hospitality and displays of the latest models in the McLaren Sports and Super Series. In addition, selected owners and customers of the McLaren motorsport retailer network in North America will have the chance to experience hot laps in a McLaren around the 3.602km circuit, including the famous Corkscrew corner which plunges 18 metres from entry to exit.
“Motorsport in the US goes from strength to strength, and the IMSA championships have provided some of the most exciting and closest racing over the course of this season. It is a real honour to announce that the event at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca will be ‘powered by McLaren’, and I am extremely pleased to see the 720S GT3 and 570S GT4 being competitive across the WeatherTech Sprint Cup and Michelin PILOT Challenge. The final round of the Sprint Cup is sure to bring plenty of action, and Customer Racing team Motorsports In Action is still pushing hard for the PILOT Challenge championship.
“It is great to be a part of these series with our Customer Racing teams, and to strengthen the relationship with IMSA as Presenting Sponsor at such an iconic venue.”
Dan Walmsley, Motorsport Director, McLaren Automotive
“Motorsport runs through the DNA of everything at McLaren. Pioneering technology and lightweight, aerodynamic designs are the philosophy of every McLaren model, and the Sports and Super Series models are the perfect basis for a competitive and well-balanced race car, which is why the 720S GT3 and 570S GT4 models are proving so successful globally, building up a huge fan following in the North America.
The partnership with IMSA for the Monterey Sports Car Championship powered by McLaren weekend is another significant milestone for McLaren racing in the region, as the Customer Racing programme continues to gain momentum. The IMSA-run championships have provided some of the most competitive racing this season, and the launch of the 720S GT3 as the first model developed in-house by McLaren, continued success for the 570S GT4 and a strong presence through the Official Motorsport Retailer network, McLaren continues to reinforce and expand the customer offering."
Andy Thomas, Vice President – Marketing & Communications, McLaren Automotive North America
“It’s exciting to have McLaren associated with WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca as named sponsor of our IMSA Monterey Sports Car Championship event. The McLaren name has a long association with our track from the late 1960s when the ‘Bruce and Denny’ show dominated the Can Am series.
Today, McLaren Automotive builds some of the world’s most exciting supercars, and with North America as its largest market, being a part of the IMSA event, at what we believe is America’s most exciting race track, is the perfect fit. Our track is the ideal place for a McLaren track car, and the roads of Monterey County are the ideal place to enjoy any of the new McLaren sports or GT cars, so it’s a perfect partnership.”
Tim McGrane, Chief Executive Officer, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

Coyne wants to keep Ferrucci, others want to steal him (Update)
UPDATE We saw Santino Ferrucci and his manager openly talking to the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team in the Portland paddock and it's clear that Dale Coyne Racing will have to fight to keep Ferrucci in their camp.
08/26/19 Like Alexander Rossi, Santino Ferrucci came to IndyCar out of the highly competitive F2 series. If you make it to F2 you have to be a really good driver.
And both Rossi and Ferrucci have come onto the scene in IndyCar as two of its brightest young stars. Ferrucci has taken Dale Coyne's 2nd car (the #19), which historically has not been very competitive, and turned it into Coyne's most competitive car. And, while most rookies crash a lot and cost a team owner a lot of money in crash damage, Ferrucci, like Rossi, rarely crash.
With Ferrucci's contract set to expire at the end of the year, obviously Dale Coyne is anxious to re-sign him. However, knowing that Ferrucci brings sponsorship, and now knowing how good the rookie is, many other team owners what to lore him away from Coyne.
Coyne told AR1.com at Pocono that he is fairly confident of re-signing the Connecticut native. And Ferrucci works really well with his engineer - Mike Cannon.
This past weekend the young American again opened everyone's eyes with a stellar performance for a rookie. The #19 Dale Coyne Racing-Honda driver qualified sixth at Gateway and led the most laps and would have won if not for unfortunate pit stop timing.
“I had so much fun leading this race,” said Ferrucci. “Having open air like that and being able to run to a pace, run your lines and not have to think about it and just enjoy it.
“But hats off to our crew. We had a winning racecar. It’s just a little bit unfortunate that we got caught by the yellow.
“Then at the end, I was racing so hard to get back into the top three. I was really trying to bring home some hardware for the boys. Unfortunately, not everything went our way but I’m happy we came home in fourth.”
“I’ve been really impressed,” Dale Coyne told Motorsport.com. “Not just Santino but everyone on the team – the crew, the engineers. And Santino just drives it; no major changes, no complaints. Keeps it simple.”
"He’s brave, not intimidated by anything, knows how to pedal it and catch it when he goes too far. And he’s learning how to use the tools in the cockpit if he wants to make handling changes on the move.
Dale Coyne's strong engineering staff of Hampson, Cannon and Boisson
“He also listens to us in the truck and on the radio. He trusts the setups that Michael Cannon, Olivier Boisson and Craig Hampson, come up with; he knows they have a lot of experience and what they’re saying is going to work. He’s been very open-minded about learning on the job.”
“We’ve had a lot of calls from drivers interested in joining us – a lot. And that says something for the way the series is going, too, as well as showing that our team is a good one, very solid. But I think we’ve got something really good going with Santino and we don’t like change for the sake of it.
“I think we’ve helped make him the IndyCar driver that he is, and I think he’s getting the most out of the car we give him. So yeah, I think we should stay together. If you’re making the kind of progress we’ve seen from him and from us, you’d be taking a big risk to go separate ways, right? Honestly, I think he’d be a fool to go anywhere else.”
“A driver and car combination that quick should not have finished fourth,” his engineer Mike Cannon said. “He should be on the podium getting a bit of tin. But it is what it is; all the fast driver/car combinations have that kind of thing happen to them at some point in a season, where other cars on a different cycle get lucky with the yellows.”
“We had a little bobble in our final pitstop that put us behind Sebastien,” said Cannon, “but that didn’t have a bearing on the result. I think we were well capable of recovering from it at the end of the day. It was the other three cars benefiting from Sebastien’s shunt that gave us too many cars to try and pass in the time available, especially given the tire life and the amount of marbles on the track.”
Cannon also sympathized with colleague Hampson, who last won a race with Bourdais in the 2018 season-opener.
“I feel so sorry for Craig,” said Cannon. “He works so freaking hard and puts so much effort in. He never rests. He was looking at earning either a win or at least a second place with Sebastien and obviously he’s a key part of what myself and Olivier do with the #19 car. We’re a true team. So to see a potential 1-2 finish fall apart like that is a double blow.”

Club Sponsors 2018 – Bath Chef de Party
by Fi Isaacs | Oct 30, 2018 | Club
Dave Mott, sponsor for 2018, receives the life membership award from President Major Peters
Dave Mott
Bath Chef de Party
The Old Chapel
Red Hill, Camerton
BATH, Somerset, BA2 0NY
Home: 01761 470 562
Email: dave@bathcdp.co.uk
Website: http://bathcdp.co.uk/
At a suitably notable birthday of late, Comms Officer Fi Isaacs employed the talents of Dave Morris, Chef de Party, at her home in Chilcompton. Dave came up with a sumptuous Greek tapas menu, all served using fresh ingredients, everything made from scratch, with Dave explaining each dish, how it was prepared, and the relative ingredients. Not so much a dinner party but a cookery master class! If you have a special occasion looming, please consider using Chef de Party – you won’t be disappointed.
After 33 years cooking in his own kitchen at the very successful Tilleys Bistro in Bath, Dave Mott (Motty) planned to hang up his apron and retire. His retirement was short lived however. A yearning to get out of the pan and into the fire, so to speak, compelled Dave to reinvent himself as Bath Chef de Party. He now provides private clients with bespoke menus cooked and served at their own premises. Menus come in all shapes and sizes from buffets to lavish dinners. All dietary requirements are covered and catered for including Coeliac, Vegan, Pescatarian etc.. On Valentines Day in 2017 he cooked a romantic meal for two at a private house in Farmborough, and in February this year, by contrast, he cooked a 3 course meal for 49 at a Masonic Hall in Beaminster, Dorset, As is the case with all good Chefs Dave sources as much produce from local suppliers and farms as possible and is passionate about using seasonal produce in his menus.
Dave moved to Bath in 1970 with his family. The family home was in Kipling Avenue on Bear Flat. Dave has a long association with Bear Flat CC starting way back at the turn of the millennium. Although he has turned out to play for the team when times were desperate ……. really desperate, he is better known for his contribution as Club Sponsor and for winding up Liverpool fans. At the 2017 Annual Dinner, Dave was awarded with the prestigious ‘Life Membership’ award, only the fourth award ever to be presented, and describes what receiving the award meant to him. “Frankly I’m not usually lost for words, but on this occasion I was. I just didn’t see it coming, I did wonder why my kids were there! I felt very humble and honoured to receive the award. It means an awful lot to me and now sits on a table at home by the front door so I get to see it everyday”.
Dave has always been a great supporter of The Bears and has been on several club tours as well as all the annual dinners since 2002. At the annual dinner in 2016 Dave offered his Bath Chef de Party services as an auction prize; an at home dining experience for 6 people. With three club members bidding furiously for the ‘dinner of a lifetime’ Dave called a halt to the proceedings at £250 and said he would honour all three bids. Taking away the food costs this auction prize raised a total of £600 for the club funds.One of the dining experiences was cooked up at Longleat, although Dave as the consummate professional is tight lipped as to whether Lord Bath was in attendance.
During his career Dave has cooked for many celebrities, actors and sports stars. Now known as an international man of mystery his most recent foray abroad was to the French Alpine ski resort of Les Brevieres,Tignes, where he was cooking for 8 racing car drivers, photographs of which can been seen on the Bath Chef de Party page on Facebook. So from Tilleys to Tignes, Bath to Beaminster if it’s good food, style and elegance that you are looking for, you need venture no further than our very own Bath Chef de Party.

The Greenland government presented in 1999 the idea of emphasizing the Arctic dimension of EU policies by introducing the Arctic Window into the EU’s Northern Dimension policy. The 'Arctic Window' then became a recognized concept in the European Union, inspired by Finland´s Northern Dimension Initiative, and launched at the climax of Finland's Chair of the EU.
The Arctic Window concept has the intention of building bridges between the Arctic nations and non-Arctic, increasing the cooperation and contribution to issues of common concern in the North. This initiative should help build a circumpolar dialogue on Arctic policies and initiatives, and enhance Arctic-Northern Europe cooperative structures.
The Arctic covers an area the size of the whole Europe. It is sparsely populated with often-impassable areas and a severe climate with extreme variations in temperature; short summers, much ice and snow in winter and large areas covered by permafrost. Rising temperature, caused by climate change, is not only affecting the nature of the High-North but also traditions and culture.
The indigenous peoples’ in the Arctic region build a unique society with its own language and culture; traditional lifestyle which is changing, not only because of different weather condition, but also because of new technology and globalization. The new generation is facing new challenges, opportunities and increasing interest in this 'hot region'.
Arctic Window was established in 2012 as an educational tool, based on visions of the EU's Arctic Window concept. Arctic Window is currently working on a production focusing on indigenous peoples and other northerners in the Arctic region. Climate change has is not just effecting the fragile nature, but also culture and traditions. The generation which is adjusting new way of life in this ‘hot area’ is in focus of the series.
Arctic Window Tours is an Authorised Tour Operator registered by the Iceland Tourist Board
Glacier Lagoon tour, Southern Iceland
"While I deeply admire the resilience of Greenland's people - particularly young people, [some of] whom I have had the pleasure of meeting with - for their resilience to preserve their heritage and culture, their land, despite the very difficult nature."

Kim Jong-un regime wary of 'adverse effects' of inter-Korean exchange... Residents imprisoned for watching South Korean dramas
An unusual sight in South Korea as the North Korean and Japanese flags are seen side by side. Taken at the closing ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games by ISHIMARU Jiro, February 2018
In 2018, the Kim Jong-un regime made its first steps toward improving inter-Korean relations as politicians, government officials, business leaders and performers made numerous trips between Seoul and Pyongyang. In sports, the athletes found common ground as the two countries came together to participate as one. A unified women's ice hockey team competed in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games, while other joint teams were formed for the Asian Games and World Table Tennis Championships.
When unified Korean sports teams were first formed, the public was curious to find out how well the young athletes would perform together for the first time and how they would interact after being formed as a single team on very short notice. The North and South Korean athletes had not only cultural differences to work through but even a difference in sporting terminology. In North Korea, passing in basketball is referred to as "contacting" and serving in table tennis is called "thrusting in".
Watching the sports competitions on TV, one could easily distinguish between the North and South Korean female athletes on the unified team. The South Korean athletes wore makeup and were quite stylish, with most having long, dyed hair. The North Korean athletes, meanwhile, had black, short hair and wore no makeup.
The North Korean athletes acted quite differently to their Southern teammates as well. On the surface, they seemed very cautious and passive in their behavior. As it was most likely their first time meeting South Koreans, one can only wonder what was going through their mind. To learn more, I asked a North Korean defector who had previously worked in sports.
“The North Korean athletes would have been shocked to meet their South Korean counterparts. They would have been able to see for themselves the fruits of South Korea's economic development by looking at the South Korean athletes’ clothes, equipment, and other belongings, and they would have envied the free-spiritedness of the young South Koreans,” explained the North Korean defector.
As for the South Korean athletes’ part, they met the North Korean athletes with open arms. They hugged the North Korean athletes, put their hands on their shoulders, and shed tears when they parted ways at the tournament’s end. These emotional goodbyes must have been very difficult for the North Korean athletes. Unable to express their true feelings or exchange parting gifts, they couldn’t help but behave quite awkwardly when it came time to say farewell.
◆Teammates ordered to surveil each other
"They were nervous. Athletes and coaches always undergo ideological training before departure. If you display 'excessive kindness' toward South Korean athletes and officials, you may be criticized later for being 'ideologically corrupted'. You may be accused of spying if you pass on letters and goods without authorization, and you are suspected of attempting to defect if you walk around alone. There are always Ministry of State Security agents (secret police) among the delegations. Also, there are athletes and coaches who are given orders to surveil others. Even the athletes don’t know who they are," said the North Korean defector.
Even with such controls in place, the young North Koreans’ memories cannot be erased. Last year, in the field of sports alone, there were probably more than a hundred North Korean athletes, coaches, and officials who came into contact with South Koreans. They gained the opportunity to learn about South Korea and the rest of the world and were finally able to evaluate their own society in relative terms. The more inter-Korean exchanges, the better.

欧美*屏蔽的关键字*丁香激情,亚洲日韩有码人妻视频,少女黄瓜自慰ftp
Washington D.C., May 20, 2019 —
At 欧美*屏蔽的关键字*丁香激情the 44th Annual International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Conference in Sydney, Australia, the Chairmen of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) participated in a signing ceremony on May 15 for the IOSCO Enhanced Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Consultation and Cooperation and the Exchange of Information (EMMoU).
IOSCO established its first enforcement Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Consultation and Cooperation and the Exchange of Information in 2002 (2002 MMoU). The 2002 MMoU created a framework for international information-sharing among securities and derivatives regulators to facilitate cross-border enforcement investigations, and now is widely viewed as the international benchmark for cross-border cooperation in enforcement matters. The 2002 MMoU currently has 123 signatories that have agreed to comply with minimum standards for obtaining and sharing with fellow signatories banking, brokerage and beneficial ownership information. Both the SEC and the CFTC became signatories to the 2002 MMoU on December 19, 2002.
亚洲日韩有码人妻视频Since 2002, there have been significant changes in the complexity, sophistication and size of global financial markets, as well as in the technology used by market participants and regulators. These changes, along with the demonstrated success of the 2002 MMoU, led IOSCO to adopt the EMMoU. Signatories of the EMMoU agree to new forms of assistance critical to effective enforcement, such as obtaining compelled testimony and obtaining asset freezes to protect customer funds, among other powers.
“As investment products, services and markets evolve, it is critical that the international community of securities and derivatives regulators continue to cooperate to protect investors from bad actors perpetrating fraud across borders,” said SEC Chairman Jay Clayton. “The SEC took an active role in negotiating and drafting the EMMoU with the intent of building upon the tremendous success of the MMoU in facilitating international cooperation. This signing demonstrates the SEC’s continued strong commitment to combatting securities and derivatives fraud against American investors – including fraud which is carried out outside our borders.”
“少女黄瓜自慰ftpThe CFTC is proud to be part of the inaugural group of signatories to the EMMoU and to demonstrate its commitment to international enforcement cooperation,” said CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo. In today’s world of rapidly evolving technology and increasingly global financial markets, securities and derivatives violations frequently involve cross-border misconduct. As a result, effective enforcement requires that regulators around the world ensure that they are able to cooperate fully with their regulatory counterparts to ensure that investors are protected, markets are safeguarded and wrongdoers are held accountable.”

Changing Places for Preston
Preston campaigners are calling for a Changing Places toilet to be opened in Preston city centre for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and others who need extra support. The campaigners have handed over a letter to the Deputy Leader of Preston Council, Cllr. John Swindells, urging them to provide a Changing Places toilet. The group is lead by Rosemary McLean and daughter Hollie from Barton. The letter presented to the council stated: “Without the provision of a Changing Places toilet the person with disabilities may be put as risk as families are forced to risk their own health and safety by changing their loved one on a toilet floor. Building an extension to the side of Preston Community Transport, The Mobility Centre, Friargate would be an ideal place for your citizens to use.” Cllr. Swindells said: “We have got the market development and the new bus station so I am sure we could probably put one in there but I think they are looking at something sooner.” Cllr. Swindells said the council will explore possible options. The Changing Places consortium would like to congratulate all involved with this important campaign and we look forward to supporting the installation of more Changing Places in Preston.

Highlighting 25 Years of Collaborative Research
Kúuku—footprints—are a powerful historical metaphor that the Hopi people use to comprehend their tangible heritage. Hopis say the deity Máasaw instructed their ancestors to leave footprints during their migrations from their origin place to their home today as evidence that they had fulfilled a spiritual pact to serve as stewards of his land. Today’s Hopis understand these footprints to be the archaeological remains of former settlements—pottery sherds, stone tools, petroglyphs, and other physical evidence of past use and occupation of the land.
The fourteen chapters in Footprints of Hopi History: Hopihiniwtiput Kukveni’at focus on these Hopi footprints as they are understood through a variety of research techniques, including archaeology, ethnography, documentary history, plant genetics, and educational outreach. The editors and contributors offer a fresh and innovative perspective on Hopi archaeology and history, and demonstrate how one tribe has significantly advanced knowledge about its past through collaboration with archaeologists and cultural anthropologists.
The book features managerial uses of research, cultural landscape theory, use of GIS in research, archaeological interpretations of social identity and immigration, analysis of corn genetics, heritage education of youth, and research of oral traditions and documentary history. Footprints of Hopi History captures the Hopi tribe’s leadership in sustained efforts to create bridges between tribal goals and anthropology, forging a path for others to follow.
Coedited with Leigh J. Kuwanwisiwma and T. J. Ferguson. University of Arizona Press (2018)
An outstanding contribution to Hopi archaeology, history, and cultural heritage. This book sets a new standard for collaborative research, and provides an important example of the Hopi people controlling their own representational histories.
—Robert W. Preucel
Provides a valuable historical overview of, and personal narratives about, Hopi efforts to protect their heritage. The contributors’ different perspectives, as well as their varied interactions with Leigh Kuwanwisiwma and Hopi communities, bring forth a rich array of ideas and information.
—George Nicholas

State Attorney General Seeks Execution Dates for Nine Death Row Prisoners
By Steven Hale
Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery is asking the Tennessee Supreme Court to set execution dates for nine more men, including the four remaining death row prisoners from Nashville.
The request for more execution dates came without warning. Slatery’s office filed motions asking for the dates on Sept. 20 — the same day the AG announced he would challenge Nashville Criminal Court Judge Monte Watkins’ decision to vacate the death sentence of Abu-Ali Abdur’Rahman at the request of Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk. Slatery took aim at Watkins and Funk — both of whom are elected officials — in a press release announcing the legal challenge, calling the decision to drop
Abdur’Rahman’s death sentence “unlawful” and “unprecedented.” Funk said he stands by his position, while Abdur’Rahman’s attorney Bradley MacLean called the AG’s move “unprecedented” and said the state is “bound” by Watkins’ order.
The AG can seek execution dates for a death row prisoner once the prisoner has exhausted the three-tier appeals process. The state Supreme Court decides when the executions will take place. In February 2018, Slatery sought a slew of execution dates and asked for them to be scheduled in quick succession, citing concerns about the state’s ability to carry out lethal injections beyond June of that year. The state Supreme Court ultimately blocked the AG’s request for the rush of executions.
Excluding Abdur’Rahman — whose execution had been scheduled for April 16, 2020 — there are two more men scheduled to be executed in the coming months: Lee Hall on Dec. 5 and Nicholas Sutton on Feb. 20.
The men for whom the AG is seeking execution dates are below:
Byron Black (Davidson County), who was convicted for the 1987 murders of Angela Clay and her two daughters, Latoya and Lakeisha Clay.
Like the five men who have been executed since August 2018, many of the men above have a history of severe mental illness.
The Scene received this response from Assistant Federal Public Defender Kelley Henry:
We learned of the request for mass executions late yesterday after receiving the requests in the mail. Seven of the nine are represented by my office. All of the remaining Davidson county cases are included in the request. We were surprised by the request for mass executions. Each case is unique and represents a number of fundamental constitutional problems including innocence, racism, and severe mental illness. We will oppose the appointed Attorney General’s request.
https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/...-row-prisoners
We all live in a clown world.
It appears that Black will be the lead in ligation in the next batch. His attorneys noted that of the 9 people that were notified of an execution date, 5 of their counsels had either resigned or quit after Irick was executed.
Next date of any action is suppose to take place on the 30th.

New Jersey, unfortunately
December 30 is the deadline to respond to the motion to set execution dates. I'm assuming they dates will be set in January or February.

[Single Review] Nicole Scherzinger: "Boomerang"
What is it with Nicole Scherzinger? This is one Diva who can dance, can sing and has an eye for the "X-Factor". So how is it that she never seems to quite hit the mark with her own material! New single Boomerang is no different.
Produced by Will.I.Am, Boomerang is unfortunately a rather dull and flat experience. I would have loved to have heard Nicole's tones over his typical, more jagged production, but for some reason Mr I.Am decided to play Russian roulette with Nicole's comeback and dish out this undercooked record when Scherzy came knocking. I only hope she didn't pay full whack for the pleasure.
What Boomerang really needed- if we are to accept the production- was a characterful lead vocal. Katy Perry may not compare to Nicole as a singer, but her style of personality-infused delivery is exactly what this song is crying out for. As it is, Nicole's voice didn't keep this listener's interest for the duration of the track, or leave any memorable imprint once it had finished.
I suppose if Boomerang fails to catch on with the general public it can always be marketed as an anthem for stalkers the world over. Doesn't matter how you make those sales, just as long as you're making em! Am I right?
Rating:C-
Labels: nicole scherzinger
black robin 27 January 2013 at 20:45
The song is decent. My gripe is with the crazy special effects in the music video.
arthur 27 January 2013 at 21:20
I agree, I'm not too crazy about her delivery. It's just boring.
These Divas really need to learn how to come out with a good comeback single. It needs to be exciting and eye grabbing. I remember when Mariah released "It's Like That" everyone was talking about it. And then "We Belong Together" just skyrocketed her to the top again. I think Mariah's comeback is the epitome of all diva comebacks.
The recent diva comebacks have been very disappointing, lol
It isn't much of a "comeback" for Bey :b she's still relevant. I have a very good feeling about her next album, it all depends on her first single. As long as she doesn't get knocked up, it should do well. lol
who's 2ne1 though? o.o
Ahmed Tarek Saad 27 January 2013 at 22:48
Are you a member of ATRL?
I have no idea what that it... lol
Its a Korean pop group.
Serendipity.- 28 January 2013 at 00:29
They're big in Korea, and they have a noticeable following in America.
I listened to their song "I Am The Best", I'm crazy about that beat.
It's a pop culture discussion website. :D
Ohhhhhh, sounds like something I'd like, I'll check it out :)
In my honest opinion, 2ne1 has much more "talent potential" than destiny's child. You have to follow these girls individually to understand my point. They're latest live performances have been so good.....especially their world tour performances. Let me quit babbling....I just love them too much.
lmfao, wow, link me a performance of theirs :o
Brian 28 January 2013 at 04:09
Its amazing how many over done cliches has managed to enter such a talented womans career. The song style has been done over and over and Nicole doesnt bring anything fresh. Same goes with the video. And If I see one more reference to whip my hair...
Reiko Kanaki 28 January 2013 at 06:26
If Nicole could deliver, she probably would have.
Nowhere close.
Talent? Not vocally. I'm listening to one of their songs right now, and IMO, whoever is singing sounds horrible. Her voice is below mediocre, nasal, thin, and light.
THe strongest voice of the group is from Minzy. She's the youngest member @ 19 years old, followed by Park Bom. Park Bom has a very weird voice and her lower register needs tons of work but her upper chest is very decent. CL folows clowsly and she is a dark colored light weight mezzo with a nasal tinge and honestly she can sing very well live. Dara, on the other hand may just be a soubrette. lol
As For Minzy, she is a dark coulored heavy weight mezzo-soprano. SHe is the most well rounded member of the group and a very technical singer.
All of pop music uses very similar chord progressions :b I don't think that's the problem. The beat isn't bad! But I agree, with the cheesy inspirational stuff. If you're gonna try to inspirational in pop music, you need to be original.
Stuey 28 January 2013 at 17:10
I agree with the comments here, this song in no way, shape or form touches what Nicole is capable of vocally, in fact her voice doesn't sound very pleasant and comes across as one dimensional, there is little to no dynamic going on!
I feel its just another stab at trying to be current production wise, I would much prefer her to push the envelope musically with a different genre that we have not heard from her before, maybe alternative dance or rock! Something fresh....I still think she is awesome, she really grew on me on the X Factor despite the fact I hate the show!
ruru 28 January 2013 at 23:23
well ...i dont like the song.....i do like her ,though she never seems like a "young" singer as she gives off a older diva feel to me and this bland affair does her no justice. im a fashion student so i feel inclined to comment on the fashion , its 2013 not 2008...that hounds tooth jacket?...no hunty that aint cute and the saggy black dress made me want to ask susan boil why she gave it up. amid all this mess there is hope....that crazy glow in the dark neon jacket was awesome if not abit out of place in the shambling effects and lack luster beat. all in all boomerangs fails sonically and its fashion dosent do much to revive it.
Interesting angle on it and I wouldn't really have noticed about the fashion unless you (very well) elaborated on it.
I also agree about the older diva feel. She should be releasing stuff that she can also properly communicate, this seems like it has been a chore for her to deliver without any kind of connection to the lyric of the song!
Diva Devotee 29 January 2013 at 00:23
I like her too, and really want her to do well...I just don't think it's going to happen with material like this!
yes i also feel this isnt quite her song, i liked her last song poison as it was her first well produced single and she really got into it and i know she has the ability to deliver but im not sure what she needs to really get into a song. maybe she should do a really powerful ballad and see if it works, beautiful turned xtina's career around and it might be what Nicole needs after her less than classy pussycat dolls past .at the moment i feel she is taking the easy route and pushing mass produced pop/dance
Absolutely, it seems to be the way to go for those desperate to chart and sell even if it means slacking on any kind of genuine artistry. As DD says I think she deserves to do well, she is an all round talent! I only wish the people around her would let that artistry breathe!
MarkB 29 January 2013 at 02:52
Well Britney Spears had a spectacular comeback with Circus and the lead single Womanizer in 2008, after all her public crap.
I kinda meant the 2011/2012/2013 comebacks
But you mentioned The Emancipation of Mimi in 2005 :P. Anyway I was just saying loll.
I said recent comebacks were disappointing. Divas should look back to 2005 when Mariah had an amazing comebacks. When you mentioned Britney, I thought you meant that she was an example for a recent comeback. Sorry :x
Well Nicole has never been super successful without the other Destin's pussycats XD. I'm kinda scared for Cher's comeback. Woman's world is very average, the only thing that makes it enjoyable is her voice lol. I hope she comes up with somthing better on her album.
Cher's voice is very unique, but I'm sure that she would have a negative reception in today's music market.
Well she's already a legend so she doesn't really have to make her proofs again. But she would do better with good music LOL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb_OD-LN-tY
This is Minzy's Christmas Special thingy....
Dean Nguyen 30 January 2013 at 05:26
Well, one has to consider that none of the divas attempting comebacks- bar Mariah herself- has a voice even approaching the godliness that Mariah possessed, even after much decline. Though obviously not her vocal peak, in the TEOM era, Mimi could still outsing the vast numbers of 'imitators (Christina, we're looking at you) she was competing with. None of the other divas are capable of this.

Maybe inspite of the talents the artistry simply isn't there? If it IS there...she should take the breathing room rather than wait for record execs to give it. Like that's gonna happen at any major label lol
While that's definitely true, I don't think the best voices necessarily have the most successful careers, otherwise, Mariah would have outsold Elvis, The Beatles, and MJ combined! These divas can't really improve their voices, but they can make catchier, better produced music.
I don't think Mariah's comeback was because of her voice, it was because TEOM was a bit of a sell out album. Now don't get mad, I love that album, but when you compare it with Charmbracelet, in terms of personality, TEOM is very shallow. As Mariah was given the ability to have greater in her releases, she made her albums more personal. That was obvious, I mean Daydream is more personal than Music Box, Butterfly is more personal than Daydream, Rainbow is even more personal, and Charmbraclet is even more personal than that. However, each album sold less than its previous release. I think Mariah sold out to some extent, and made TEOM more focused and urban, with less personal content. It's fine though, E=MC2 and Memoirs both were more personal. I don't think Mariah really wants to be the biggest name in pop anymore, she's just making music that she loves.
I also don't think her voice is ordinary. I still think she can outsing most of today's singers. I mean, not in terms of power, but she's more dynamic definitely.
Just to get this straight...you are saying Mariah's voice in itself is better than Elvis' and Michael Jackson's and even combined?
And you consider the Beatles to be succesful because of their voices? And the voices of Lennon and mcCartney to qualitively fall in the same category as those of Elvis and Jackson?
Well I mean, there's no way to combine peoples voices, so I don't actually mean that. It was a hyperbole :b I do think that Mariah's voice is better than any of the previously mentioned artists though. In fact, I think she arguably has the best voice in the history of pop music.
And of course not! I specifically said "the best voices don't necessarily have the most successful careers." I only mentioned the Beatles, MJ, and Elvis in the same sentence because they are the three highest selling music groups of all time.
Very very arguably. Though I am not going to bother in ths case.
Yeah, I'm probably only saying that because she's my favorite artist. Even if she's not "the best", which is a matter of opinion, she's definitely up there with Whitney, Babs, Aretha, Sinatra, and the bunch.
Well, Opie, I stan for Mariah so i'll have to say... something :D
In my opinion, Mariah has the best voice in recent pop history. In addition to the average diva pop-gimmicks (aka melisma and belting) Mariah also has a very individual sound. None of the mainstream pop singers in the last thirty or forty years has a voice as unique as Mariah..
Also, Mariah's voice is capable of vocal gymnastics that other divas simply cannot imitate. The whistle register is an an obvious example- and while you can probably argue that other divas too possess this characteristic, Mariah is the only one since Minnie Riperton (and maybe Debelah Morgan) to be able to access it with such ease. She can flip from chest to whistle in no time at all. I can't recall exactly which one, but youtube "Vanishing", and she does it in one of them.
In addition, Mariah has a very interesting (at least, compared to the other Whitney clones that fill the industry,) style that suits her voice IMO. Listen to "Forever"- I don't know HOW to describe the runs in that song other than slippery. She just slides down the runs in a fashion I've never heard another pop singer even attempt to imitate.
Lastly, Mariah is very adept at changing the teture in her voice. She can do this in seconds. Listen to "Lead the Way"- she can change from a whispery, airy tone to a full and rounded one. She even does this while doing melisma.
I understood with ''voice'' the voice itself( even specified it thus). Not what the singer can accomplish technically.
A lot of what you mention falls under the ability.
''Pop history'' is also a difficult one. Since arthur includes Aretha..he seems to be taking the wider definition.
And you narrow the time to ''recent''
Anyway ''the best'' is a silly term. It is almost always arguable. No matter which name you put forward. Favorite..that's a qualification on the other hand which cannot be agued at all. :-)
Pure voice...most certainly a lot of names can be mentioned which imo at the very least equal Mariah.
If we are talking singer rather than pure voice, the field becomes more narrow but for my money, she comes close but doesn't surpass Streisand or Sinatra. All things considered.
Mariah as a Whitney clone,imo, easily surpasses Whitney herself though. Speaking of each at their prime.
See above reply to Reiko.
Opie, what's your criterion for a good voice? Because you said you know many singers who equal or exceed Mariah vocally... and in Pop music, I can count those kinds of people on one hand...
Yeah, she can do things that I've never heard other artists do.
Plus, one thing that everyone forgets about her, she writes her own music. Not only lyrically, but melodically. Did you know she's among the top 5 PRODUCERS (not singers) who have produced the most number 1 singles. That makes her more than just a singer with a divine voice, it makes her an actual musician. Listen to songs like "Fantasy" or "Honey", she (along with other people) made that song. There are only a handful of artists in the history of pop music who actually write their own songs.
Pure voice and in the course of pop history..aside from Streisand...Doris Day, Dusty Springfield, Shirley Bassey, Elkie Brooks, Kate Bush, Shelby Lynne, Allison Moorer, Karen Carpenter to name a few females ( generally the female voice has my preference) who ''officially'' have sung pop.
If I took the definition wide enough it would also include Aretha....well, I could name even my favorite Alison Krauss and a whole lot more names.:-)
Lol Opie, I'll have to look into these people sometime... never even heard of most of them...
Except for Shirley Bassey. I heard her Bond songs and remain unimpressed. How do you define a good voice Opie? My definition must be lacking somehow...
Only a terrible lamb wouldn't know that Mariah produces her own music lol. But it's totally irrelevant in regards to the conversation, as we were speaking about vocal ability in particular.
Sorry, I edited the above after you replied already with a definition of a '' good voice''.
Here are some links to the people mentioned ( but surely you know Kate Bush at leastt?)

Really? Off the top of my head...linda Perry, Kate Bush, Marina and the Diamonds,
Imogen Heap is a another great example. She has essentially written, composed, and produced all her songs ( a few co-writes on one album), which is something not usually done with electronic music.
Lol like I said...heaps! Given some more thought I also came up with Tori Amos,Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Carol Bayer-Sager, Norah Jones, I hear Britney Spears also writes.
I just think it makes her so much more of an artist, but you're right it has nothing to do with voice.
Shea Butter 31 January 2013 at 04:02
I have to say I think it's Nicole! I have yet to like any of her singles. Her voice for the most part is above board(her upper register is too twangy for my taste) but there is something about her and her singles thats a major turn off. I also believe she will never live down the Pussy Cat's drama.
Reiko Kanaki 1 February 2013 at 02:36
Opie, your definition is totally different from mine lol.
You go with "universally appealing voice" while I go with "voice capable of feats no other could execute". These obviously make very different results. While these singers obviously rank highly on your own list, they don't rank quite as high on mine.
And I'm still unimpressed with Shirley. Her voice is an acquired taste, IMO. I still find her screechy and annoying.
Stuey 2 February 2013 at 20:24
Incredibly valid point there! Shame she (like many many others) is just another label puppet. A big reason why I am loving Charlotte Churches new output is that she has total control over what she is dropping and is fearless to test new sounds out without worry of being dropped or forced/manipulated by money hungry execs. That kind of pressure cannot be pleasant as an artist, however on the flip side it probably works for those just desperate to hit it big...do as you are told and we will (often fail) in providing (often generic) "hits" ;)
Dave 3 February 2013 at 10:13
Like your list, of those mention, Elkie Brooksis the only one that has a voice that can cope with Rock, Blues, and Jazz.
Go Listen to Elkie Brooks.
Opie Ever 3 February 2013 at 13:55
lol you are obviously batty when it comes to Shirley. ;-D
Anyway...again I was talking timbre/essential ''sound'' of the voice itself. You are talking technical ability. And also very much genre.
Have to slighty disagree with you though.. I dare say Shelby is also very capable of tackling all three of those genres. Don't know how familiar you are with her body of work?
For a great vocal check out Elkie Brooks.
Not familiar with Shelby, will check her out. Go to Youtube and check out Elkie Brooks singing . " Make you Feel my Love" for me it's the best version.

Episcopal Schools>
A growing number of Episcopal schools are being established in historically under-served, low-income communities. These schools were and continue to be founded by visionary Episcopal educators and clergy moved to fill a pressing educational need, and by parishes or dioceses seeking to make a significant difference on behalf of children and families in poverty.
Like other schools with a similar mission, most use a tuition-free model that relies on donations, grants, and in-kind services to sustain the school financially. Others have adopted a sliding scale fee structure or meet the school’s operating costs through a combination of low fees and charitable contributions.
In 2009, NAES created the Episcopal Urban School Alliance (EUSA). Its mission is to:
articulate and promote a common interest in serving the educational needs of economically disadvantaged children;
share best practices in economic models, institutional management, and Episcopal identity among its members and aspiring members; and
explore the ways the Holy Spirit may move the continuing cause of justice in an educational setting.
The Episcopal Urban School Alliance invites like-minded schools, new and existing, to join them in this ministry.

AG Barr’s strong annual results confirm the resilience of the UK soft drinks market, which was highlighted by Britvic in its just published market report. Scotland-based AG Barr achieved double-digit growth in both sales and profit last year to again outperform the UK soft drinks market. According to Britvic, the second largest soft drinks producer after Coca-Cola Enterprises, the UK market reached £9.4 billion in value in 2010, with sales in the take-home channel up 6.6% to £6.6 billion and the on-premise category edging up 1% to reach £2.8 billion.
However, AG Barr chief executive Roger White has cautioned that “the soft drinks sector will face tough comparative trading across 2011, as well as further cost volatility and general economic uncertainty.”
Indeed, constantly increasing input cost rises are facing most sectors of the food and drink industry as clearly illustrated during the week by Dairy Crest’s decision to implement a further £20 million cost reduction programme on top of the one already completed during its last financial year.
Healthy Growth in Baby Food
The opening by Nestle of a Eur117 million factory in Germany dedicated to producing hypoallergenic infant formula is a reflection of the healthy growth within baby food. The global market (including infant formula, juices, cereals, baby snacks and soups) has remained largely immune to recession and is projected to reach sales of $37.6 billion by 2014, achieving an estimated CAGR of 5.0% from 2009 to 2014. Europe is the second largest market after North America and is expected to generate sales of $10.8 billion by 2014 with a CAGR of 4.4%, according to MarketsandMarkets. But the most rapid growth will be in emerging markets due to their higher birth rates and brighter economic prospects.
Nestle has opened a Eur117m factory in Germany dedicated to producing hypoallergenic infant formula.
In both developed and emerging markets, the leading baby food manufacturers have been investing heavily in new technology and capacity in order to keep adding value and to maintain brand share against intensifying competition from private label products.
Baby food is a sector where the distinction between food and drink manufacturers, such as Nestle and Danone, and pharmaceutical companies, like Abbott and Wyeth, is blurred. With the emphasis by the leading food, beverage and pharmaceutical companies on developing products to improve the ‘health and wellness’ of consumers, the two industries will increasingly overlap in the future as nutraceutical products are developed across different market sectors and new categories are created.
€205 Million Capital Investment by Nestle
The new Eur117 million baby food facility marks Nestle’s third major capital investment in new capacity in the past month. The world’s largest food manufacturer recently announced that it will spend Eur50 million on a new production line at its Nescafe factory at Girona in Spain to double production of Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee capsules. Nestle is also investing about Eur38 million in a new breakfast cereals factory in Turkey.
Russian IPO
Investor interest in the Russian food and drink industry has revived with Rusagro’s initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange, designed to raise $300 million for expansion, being over subscribed. The Moscow-based Russian sugar, pork and agribusiness group had postponed its IPO last year but persevered this time despite market volatility.
The IPO, involving about 17% of the group’s equity, values Rusagro, which controls about a sixth of Russia’s sugar production and owns the country’s fifth largest pig farm, at about $2 billion. In its prospectus, Rusagro highlighted the importance of local knowledge of both markets and how government works in successfully doing business in Russia.
