Family: Fabaceae hay, lucerne, purple medic Alfalfa is a perennial plant grown worldwide. It’s used as a feedstock for cattle. It looks like a clover. But it can grow to a height of 2 to 3 feet. It blooms in the summer with purple or blue flowers. At harvest time, alfalfa is mowed, field dried, and baled. The baled hay can be fed directly to cattle. Or it can be ground to a coarse powder first. It can also be enriched with grain or other supplements. Alfalfa seeds are sprouted and used as garnish for salads and other foods. Alfalfa leaves contain triterpenoid saponins (soyasapogenols). These can reduce cholesterol absorption and vascular plaque formation in animals. But they can also cause hemolytic anemia. The leaves are safer to use than the seeds. This is because alfalfa seeds contain the toxic amino acid L-canavanine (arginine analog). Alfalfa has a long history as a medicinal herb. But there is no scientific evidence supporting its use. But studies show that L-canavanine, a non-protein amino acid in alfalfa (in the seeds and sprouts), may cause lupus or make existing lupus worse. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects connective tissue. This type of tissue is in every organ of your body. There are claims that alfalfa may help allergies, thyroid problems, blood and liver toxicity, asthma, and how the pituitary works. It’s also said to reduce the risk of heart attacks. It may also help with an inflamed prostate, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach problems, and diabetes. There are reports that alfalfa works as a diuretic. Follow packaging instructions for the correct dose. Alfalfa is considered safe when taken by healthy people. Alfalfa seems to increase certain immune system functions. In some cases, alfalfa sprouts have been contaminated with Salmonella and E. coli. This has caused outbreaks of diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This is a disease associated with E. coli. There have been improvements in how alfalfa is processed, which has lowered these risks. To reduce your risk, you should eat alfalfa sprouts right after you buy them. Don’t store them for a long time. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should talk to their healthcare provider before taking any herbal medicines. Alfalfa may reduce how well birth control pills work. If you take alfalfa and use birth control pills that contain estrogen, use an additional form of birth control. Alfalfa contains high amounts of vitamin K. This can reduce the blood thinning (anticoagulant) action of the medicine warfarin. If you’re taking this medicine, ask your healthcare provider how much alfalfa you can eat.

__label__wiki	0.962074	0.962074	Eurasian Perspective Tajikistan and Afghanistan: A Tale of One Town, Two Countries Two towns named Ishkashim stand opposite each other on the Pyanj River, which marks the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Against a stark backdrop of daunting peaks and dusty plains, life here, as documented in this photo essay by Diana Markosian, is marked by constant uncertainty. Decades of war have deprived the approximately 12,000 residents on the Afghan side of the border of even the most rudimentary comforts. Those in Tajikistan don’t fare much better. Electricity is a luxury and regular access to basic health care a dream. Farmers struggle to coax a harvest of wheat and barley out of the rocky soil in the river valley. The tenuous nature of agriculture enables the drug trade to thrive in the area, with opium products harvested and refined elsewhere in Afghanistan making their way northwards to Tajikistan, Russia and beyond. For centuries, there was no political boundary separating the people of Ishkashim, and the area is unified by its own Persian dialect called Ishkashimi. The onset of the Great Game between the Russian and British empires in the late 19th century changed that. But despite being politically distinct entities, the two Ishkashims still share close cultural bonds that help people on both sides of the river endure.

Ukraine: Afghan Vets Provide Maidan Movement with Backbone The Other Hundred: Afghan Tailor Turns Business Advisor Afghanistan to build first Women’s Police Town KABUL: To encourage more women to join the police force in this deeply conservative and male-dominated society, Afghanistan has launched a housing project for female officers. Women’s Police Town was inaugurated on Monday in Kabul and is funded by international donors, with Canada providing $26 million for its first phase. It includes construction of 10 apartment buildings, each with 30 units and able to house 300 policewomen and their families in Kabul, the US-led coalition and Afghan officials said. “This is the first such project for female police in the history of Afghanistan,” Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danesh told Arab News on Tuesday. “It will be expanded to other parts of the country in later stages. The purpose is to encourage women to join the police ranks.” The project is due to be completed by 2020. The proposed complex will be constructed in four phases, and will include an elementary school, child day-care facility, medical clinic, fitness center and community center, officials said. The government will manage and operate the school and day-care facility, they added. Wounded Taliban undergo for treatment inTajikistan,claims Afghan MP KABUL:Afghan MP claims that wounded Taliban militants are undergoing medical treatment in hospitals in Tajikistan. According to VOA, member of Loya Jirga from Kunduz province, Eng. Kamal Sapai, said on Wednesday that Taliban militants who have been wounded in clashes with government forces in Kunduz province are undergoing medical treatment in hospitals in Tajikistan. Meanwhile, the Tajik authorities deny this statement as absolutely ‘unfounded’. “Information spread by Afghan parliamentarian through the Ashna TV is an egregious lie,” Muhammad Ulughkhojayev, a spokesman for the main Border Guard Directorate at the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) of Tajikistan, told media in an interview . “The Taliban Movement is designated as a terrorist organization and any contacts with it are banned by Tajikistan’s legislation,” said Ulughkhojayev. “Official Dushanbe has never had any contacts with Taliban and that’s the end of it.” Senior Cleric Says Iran ‘Fully Determined’ To Boost Missile Power Tehran interim Friday Prayer Leader Ayatolllah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami said the Islamic Republic of Iran is fully determined to upgrade its missile power aimed at “confronting whatever threat posed by Israel”, IRNA reports. Addressing the worshipers at Tehran University, Ayatollah Khatami said “in a world where wolves rule and there is no logic in their behavior, the Islamic Republic should be armed and powerful”. The senior cleric said Iran’s military missile might is one of the main components of the country’s policy of deterrence. “We have missiles, we would continue building more missiles and increase their ranges”, he added. The senior cleric further said that the most important principle of Iran’s military power is defense through deterrence. Ayatollah Khatami said Iran would never make atomic bombs, adding that based on a Fatwa issued by Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Iran remains to believe that it should not develop and possess nuclear weapons.

__label__wiki	0.937708	0.937708	New Music: Friday Roll Out! With Sebadoh, Chris Orrick, The Glow, Flying Lotus, RoQy TyRaiD I think it’s been what, seven or eight albums now under Chris Orrick’s belt, under his own name and FKA Red Pill. With his new Out To Sea (Mello Music Group), the Detroit rapper tackles a number of subjects to wrap his words around. I’m not sure where the album may leave him because while there are moments his cleverness makes me smile; it leaves me wondering. The beats Orrick has surrounded himself with on this release are all head nodding joints that make your head nod and your foot tap but it could be the cynic in me that has me questioning the cynic in him. I keep going back to “Funny Things” where he repeats “funny” and utilizes it in a way we’ve never heard, touching on self-deprecation and social issues. Ok, ok, after about 20 listens, it’s dope, and that’s only halfway through. “Liquor Store Hustle” revolves around a repetitive funky rhythm and a whistle (my own kid annoys me with sometimes when he wants to get my attention) as Orrick rhymes about getting his drink on but it isn’t about poppin’ bottles, instead, lingering in alcoholism. Orrick tries to figure out his own life on soft jazziness of “Spent A Lot Of Time,” where he questions everything he does while “A Dying Man” is reflective, but not really. Orrick’s Hip Hop sojourn here is a bitter pill to swallow here left wallowing in sadness. Out To Sea, is the album you might play to chill and Orrick, he’s not a bad emcee but I’m not sure what’s really in store for him. He’s better than most with some really good tracks but the album doesn’t seem to break through to the next echelon of artistry. Out To Sea by Chris Orrick Now LVL UP’s Mike Caridi steps out on his own with his own solo project The Glow with his full-length debut AM I (Double Double Whammy). While his music is obviously similar to his other project, with dusted and fuzzy-out distorted guitars, it’s the the keyboards, cellos and additional instrumentation that makes the difference here. Caridi is a serious pop enthusiast as his songs are bulging with pop sweetness from start to finish. His opening “Am I Good” sounds like a Beatles track run through a punk blender of cacophony, which may sound insulting, but it isn’t. The Glow sets volume levels at an even 11, feeding us all more of what we need: his pop enthusiasm filtered through…well, nothing. He’s just doing what he does. There’s a little experimentation here with keyboards noodled in the background which adds to the charm before it closes out. The music he creates with The Glow is easily enjoyable but the paranoia in me wonders if his sincerity is fabricated here but it’s obvious my own cynicism is getting the best of me. Caridi is playing at just giving us an extreme amount of sweetness that’s liable to give everyone a toothache. The strings on “Beamer” are beautifully placed and distorted guitars leave as quickly as they enter. There’s a lot going on here and you’d be hard pressed in any attempt to dissect it but why bother? Enjoy the ride. AM I is filled with 10 songs of The Glow’s sheer pop sensibilities that everyone should listen to, not because I say so but because the songs are cleverly composed and catch AF! Am I by The Glow Well, it shouldn’t come to anyone as a surprise that as a longtime fan of the Sebadoh, I’ll probably never have anything negative to say about the band. The pioneering band that formed back in ’86 has gone through a number of changes but has stayed consistent with Bob D’Amico on drums, Lou Barlow and Jason Lowenstein since 2011. The band last release, Defend Yourself (Joyful Noise), was released back in 2013 and brought everyone back memories and new material of Sebadoh’s proficiency. On the cusp of heading out of one decade and entering another, the band returns six years later with Act Surprised (Dangerbird Records). Should we be? The band has always been a collaborative effort, even on stage in the early days, band members would swap instruments on songs. Not that it really matters because the group is a cohesive unit and it shows on the new album. They open with “Phantom,” which contains an unrelenting rhythm with mind-numbing frenetic guitar work and lyrics that get trapped in my head. The “chorus” repeats, “’Cause now I never been so scared/I know there’s nobody there/I swear I’m all alone/Where can it be coming from!” and I’m completely enthralled in just the one track. It’s easy to immerse yourself here as “Celebrate The Void” slowly creeps in and when the band readies itself, explode, with punk enthusiasm, shifting the time signature altogether. Yes, we’ve all been waiting to celebrate this void. There’s more though, much, much more. “Follow The Breath” is unadulterated fun and what you’d expect the band to be musically; brash, pop-inflected, friendly, and filled with loads of melody. There are moments the band makes listeners believe they’re moving into composing straightforward tracks of cute verse-chorus-verse but instead include raging dynamics on the chorus of “Vacation,” which suits me fine. “Stunned” moves along the same lines as “Phantom” in its relentlessness but it’s still stunning (no pun intended.) The songs here really do creep up on you and eventually get stuck, much like the title track here where Lowenstein takes the lead and when he sings “Life is gonna suck until you get your way now,” he allows you to believe it. But it’s the closing “Rykjavic” that I’m favoring here as lyrically Barlow sounds like he’s taking from his own life over a backdrop of sweet melody and sonic sculpturing. This is pretty badass. Yeah, again I say that it’s no surprise that Act Surprised is an astounding recording. Act Surprised by Sebadoh This is a surprise. I caught a 15 minute live set by RoQy TyRaiD sometime last summer out in the PHX desert. His live performance is to Hip Hop what breathing is to life. The intensity he showed bordered on majestic. What’s the surprise here is the collaboration here in the form of Outbreak with beats controlled by the famed DJ Green Lantern. So many artists owe Lantern an enormous debt but will TyRaiD’s? Well, that’s an easy question to answer. After a decade of putting in hard work with a multitude of releases, TyRaiD scores huge points here with Lantern’s nimble fingers behind the board. The music is a mostly laid back endeavor that suits TyRaiD just fine. They’re not over the top but rather subtle, allowing TyRaiD to rest his words in just about every open space available when he feels the need. The spacey-edged “MC4Real” has his venomous and abstract constructions working well against Green Lantern. Literally, the track is beyond hypnotic. Even if Lantern slows the beat down, TyRaiD still moves quickly within “IWMAO.” The music follows the same pattern throughout album but on “Rectified” TyRaiD takes a stab at dropping a trap-like delivery…partially anyway because he can’t help himself from being who he is as Lantern’s music surfs under TyRaiD’s words. The irony there. But this isn’t just about wrapping nonsensical words around dope beats, not by a longshot. The heady “Uno” is filled with social issues over Lantern’s infectious beat wizardry where he spits, “I dedicate this art to every martyr that has fallen for us…” which gives a clear example there. To say Outbreak is the latest discovery of fire would probably be an understatement, but it’s justified within the ten tracks on the release. DJ GREEN LANTERN Presents – OUTBREAK with RoQy TyRaiD by RoQy TyRaiD Experimentalism comes in many forms and enter Flying Lotus, the pseudonym for one Steven Ellison; record producer, musician, DJ, filmmaker, and rapper from Los Angeles. Ellison is especially known for his constructs of sound and fury with songs that affect more than just one sense. You’re occasionally able to taste the music he creates, whetting one’s appetite with a plethora of imagery. It’s difficult to believe Flamagra (Ninja Tune) is only his 7th album, “only” being the operative word because it seems he’s been around longer than he actually has been. With almost 30 tracks, Flamagra’s blistering production covers a lot of ground. “Post Requisite,” pieces together instruments for a chilled-out vibe. A bassline manifesting itself into the white rabbit we all chase in search of some higher meaning. The track is simply beautiful. We’re then hit with “More” which sounds like it could be an outtake to a Kendrick Lamar album before Anderson .Paak’s voice comes in shattering those misconceptions. There are a load of instrumental tracks here, and that’s where Flying Lotus shines, creating his pastiche of sound, allowing the songs to flow like blood through “Capillaries,” but he’s not just about vocal-less recordings. Flying Lotus will fit his songs around an artist, very much like he does with “Burning Down The House” to suit George Clinton. But Clinton merges his intergalactic Parliment-isms within the Lotus sound. The finalized oddness couldn’t sound better. He does the same on “Spontaneous,” allowing Little Dragon to be all they are working that sweet and sultry magic. There’s so much to take in on the album, as well as other collaborations with Shabazzz Palaces, Thundercat, and even David Lynch but what’s special about Flamagra is Flying Lotus’ ability to sound so different at so many points but remain cohesive throughout. Flamagra is easily one of his best recordings.

__label__cc	0.703987	0.296013	tulum nuevamente Well, not really. The first time only been to the Tulum ruins but didnt do town. Morning drive to the Cancun airport and thus the Mayaland tour has ended. We didnt know where to meet our Tulum transfer and had Luis not been with us, we'd had never found the place to meet our transfer. He let us borrow his phone to call Happy Transfer to tell them we're at the airport waiting for the pickup . A little over an hour drive on the long, flat, uneventful road brought us to the Blue Sky hotel. Now I'm back at Quintana Roo once more. The Blue Sky was exactly as shown in the online pictures. Very lovely quaint hotel, cozy open air restaurant, tiny beach. A&T had a sea front room on the second floor. Mine was partially obstructed by the adjacent building and tree in front of my room. But the room was very lovely and in modern decor. The bathroom had double vanities, double shower heads in a spacious stall and a toilet room with window. The hotel provided free all you want drinks in the mini fridge, soda, beer, coconut water and a coffee machine with coffee pods. A hammock in the balcony. I was quite happy. T went to swim and kayak in the cenote across from the hotel lane and A and I had a chicken sandwich in a toasted baguette. Very yummy. There was not enough time to taxi to the Maya ruins and we've decided to skip it. Not entirely sure if T was OK with it but both A and I had been to the ruins before. We just wanted to chill at the hotel and enjoy its amenities. So no Tulum ruins with the turquoise Caribbean beach for T. Although no big temples, I remember the Tulum Maya ruins, situated on a hill above a very blue sky and very white sandy beach, to be very nice and intimate. I've enjoyed them. But after seeing all the major maya ruins, I didnt think T would have missed much. He went snorkeling on the beach instead. All kayak and snorkels were complements provided by the hotel. so now T had swum in both sides of the Gulf and in a cenote. He got what he came to do. Very relaxing day to end our trip. We had wanted to dine at the Nomade restaurant but it was fully booked till July. The hotel had suggested another expensive hotel restaurant but the taxi would cost over $100 one way. So we've decided to just eat around the hotel and checked out the other hotels nearby. We've finally decided to just dine at our hotel restaurant since the menu had what we wanted. A had an avocado shrimp pizza, T had veggie pappardelle and I had a whole octopus with garlic. It was tasty albeit a bit too oily. In the evening we caught the moon, round and golden and bright above the ocean. This night I slept very well. The following morning I went down for breakfast a little before 7. both the reception and the restaurant were empty. found out they didnt start breakfast until 7:30 (unlike what the receptionist told us the day before). Happy transfer was there on time but waited for us to finish our meal. A couple of hours to waste at the Cancun airport, i blew my last pesos on a coffee packet that had a maya figure on it. American airlines back to Dallas. I spent the time onboard playing millionaire and battleship on the monitor. At Dallas FortWorth, we ate at the airport Maggiano's. The airport priced food was just so so, not to the true Maggiano's quality. It was very enjoyable to travel and visit Mayaland with A&T. It was indeed one of the best trips I've had. As usual, no matter how great the sites were, it was the people in the group that make the trip memorable. We'd enjoyed very nice hotels, colonial style haciendas and jungle lodges (although not always given the best rooms) specially the river facing cabin in Rio Dulce, and some very nice meals, and of course, very nice trip mates. SmallLeo went out of control, taking photos with every major monument, every major pyramid and temple. Very spoiled Stuffy. 25 years ago I've started the Mayaland in the Yucatán and Quintana Roo and made a point to cover the rest of the mayaland at a later time. With this trip, I've made good to my own promise. Blue Sky Hotel photos: Chichén Itzá mas una vez Chicken Pizza (Chichén Itzá) was the white one. I remember El Castillo big and tall and white. I remember scaling it all the way to the very top. This time it was roped off. The day was cloudy and the monuments reflected the mood. I remember El Caracol which we could see from the Mayaland hotel. The second most iconic monument after El Castillo. The temple of the Guerreros was also cordoned off, so no one could see the Chacmool, the reclining figure with its head facing 90 degrees, up close anymore. The Grand Ball Court, biggest in Mayaland, was littered with tourists. It rained last time I was here and it rained again on my way back from the secret cenote. A pool of very dirty water. Souvenir stands all over the place. The crowds simply put me off. Lunch was at a restaurant not far from the Maya site. The menu had poc chuc which Luis said it meant pork chop but it also came with beef and chicken. I've ordered the pork to be authentic and it was very good. Another good and satisfying meal. After lunch we arrived at the Mayaland hotel. We were put on a 3 rooms bungalow, the furthest from the reception and restaurant building. I had no recollection of the Mayaland hotel at all except of the view of the El Caracol from the entrance. I was given the last room in the bungalow, a very large room with a curved window, wooden round table with side carvings and chairs. The room provided coffee machine with coffee packets and tea, cups and saucers. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub. Was quite happy. The hotel style rooms were in the main building above the reception. Some had direct views of El Caracol and some had views of the top of El Castillo. The hotel also had a small planetarium in a round building with a very colorful Chaac figure. T went for a swim in the main pool (the hotel had 3) while the rest of us explored the hotel and just chilled. Last supper was at the hotel restaurant with Mexican live music, played and sang by 3 guitarists. Food was over priced and not good at all. After dinner, Luis and T competed their cell phone star apps and we strained our necks to look at the clear starry sky. Later that night I tried the jacuzzi tub. Bad idea. After filling the tub with water I've turned on the jets. They spew water all over and completely flooded the bathroom. Spent a good amount of time drying the bathroom and used up both beach towels. The night was cool and windy and i had to double the bed cover (no blankets were provided). The room was extra nice but it was the last night on the trip and as usual, I've tried to prolong it and did not sleep well. Chichén Itzá photos: Mayaland Hotel and Bungalows photos: Mérida segunda vez Not felt like it but went with group to check out the market nonetheless. After getting lost a bit, we found it and got ripped off buying a traditional blouse for Mom. Afterwards we found a local restaurant on a side street and ordered lime soup and chicken tamales. The soup was thick and extremely salty. We sent it back. The waiter wasnt too happy. The tamale was edible. Didnt really tried any tacos on this trip. Havent seen any burritos in any restaurant menus (peasant food?). and this was the first time we saw tamales on the menu. should be smarter to stay away from any peasant mexican dish. Wanted to walk the paseo Montejo to see the mansions but the afternoon was much too hot. So for the rest of the day, we simply chilled by the pool. Had group dinner at El Pancho's, sitting in an outdoor patio. Food was so so and it was very humid and hot with lots of mozzies. Mérida, didnt much like it the first time and didnt much like it a second time either. Mérida photos: Uxmal otra vez Uxmal (you smell) was always the dark one. Chichén Itzá had white monuments. That was how I remember them. But Uxmal this time looked very clean as if they've restored the monuments. The first sight you saw upon entering the site was the back of el Adivino Pyramid with a mighty steep staircase. Legend has it that a dwarf, son of a witch, was challenged by the ruler to build the tallest monument overnight. The dwarf ran back to this mother for help and the next morning the people found him sleeping on top of the 35m height pyramid. Nice story. This step pyramid is unique because the sides are round. For me this is the most impressive mayan pyramid. 25 years ago I climbed to the top of this pyramid. As we rounded the pyramid to the front, another 60 degree staircase with images of chaac on both sides and at the top of the temple entrance. there were structures with corbel arches in front of the pyramid and further away the Nunnery Quadrangle with intricate pattern carvings and a serpent covering the entire building. Further up was the governor's palace with a jaguar altar in front. SmallLeo took many photos with his cousin jaguar. Last time I was able to climb el Adivino but this time it was blocked off. But the grand pyramid behind the governor's palace was climbable and so I did. After Uxmal, Luis took us to have lunch at a restaurant that cooked the meat in a pit. Like in a hawaiian luau and camping in wadi rum. I had mixed meat, chicken and pork. The meat was tender as all meat cooked in the earth were. We also had the lime soup for the first time which was most tasteful. It was a very good meal. After that, a señor with a big sombrero came offering tequila pops and playing cucaracha. After lunch we reached Mérida. Forrest kept saying Mérida was a big city. I dont really remember Mérida being a big city. In fact, last i was there, our local guide gave us some free time to explore on our own, and we decided not to stay as there wasnt much to see. Well not interesting to us anyway. The Casa del Balam hotel was another colonial style hotel, perfectly located a few blocks from the main plaza which i remember quite well with cloister like arches in the buildings surrounding the square. The hotel courtyard had spanish tiles, terracota, carved stone arches and walled gardens. We were all put on the 5th floor with quite big rooms, colonial antiques, wrought iron accessories and marble floors, and overlooking the universidad and the theater. Towards the evening, we went to see the video mapping on the Francisco Montejo house which is now a bank. The video mapping was quite nice, mildly entertaining. Afterwards we dined at the cafe la Habanna which had very interesting regional menu with longanizas, panuchos and chochenitas. I've tried one not really knowing what they were. it was just so so. None of us bought any coffee there even though it was reputed to be very good. Tomorrow a free day in Mérida. Shopping and sight seeing. A slow day and looking forward to not do much and just chill. Uxmal = The present name seems to derive from Oxmal, meaning "three times built". This seems to refer to the site's antiquity and the times it had to rebuild. The etymology is disputed; another possibility is Uchmal which means "what is to come, the future." By tradition, this was supposed to be an "invisible city," built in one night by the magic of the dwarf king. -wikipedia Uxmal photos: Campeche by the gulf Morning drive from Chiapas through Tabasco into the Campeche district. Stopped at the Tucan Siho Playa hotel for a delicious seafood lunch with sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico. T went for a swim in the gulf. Although the beach was small, blue blue sea and white sand. Modern hotel with colonial decor and Maya touches. Nicely appointed rooms with Maya designs. Chilled by the beach and awesome lunch. Very pleasant afternoon. Entered the fortified port city of San Francisco de Campeche old town through the Puerto de La Terra, the earth gate. The historic Campeche looked like a miniature Antigua but by the sea. Narrow cobblestone streets, colorful houses along. A few churches. We've walked around a bit, small town, not much to see or do. Late afternoon but streets were already blocked for restaurant and bar open air sitting. Our hotel the Castelmar dates back to 1800 and initially an army barracks, with rooms decorated in colonial style with high ceilings with wood beams and cedar furniture. However, colonial style means windows open to a courtyard and therefore the rooms are dark. No net on the windows so couldnt open them because Campeche is malaria zone. But my room was good size and comfortable enough with AC. A and I tried out the bazar artesanal handicraft shop inside the ex-templo de san jose, an old inactive church with a lighthouse. Bought a shot glass with Pakal mask for D. Before dinner we went through the Puerta del mar, the sea gate to the Malecón, the waterfront promenade to observe the sunset on the gulf. Quite spectacular as there was nothing blocking the sun dipping into the horizon on the Gulf. A modern monument depicting an angel (??) with wings expanding on 2 sides of the square pillar and illuminated in purple after sun down. All locals and tourists were out in the evening. Mexico cities have these colorful sculptures in different colored letter blocks with maya figures sketched on the letters denoting the city name in each city. We first saw it in El Petén. Not being really hungry but decided to try out one of the upstairs cafe on the plaza Principal. Bad idea since the trees covered the palacio centro cultural where the video mapping was being shown. The pastas we've ordered were too cheesy, salty and not much else in terms of flavor. Mucked around a bit in the plaza Principal with the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción all lite up. Slow walk back to the hotel for an early evening. Shame not enough time to really experience this nice colonial seaport town. Campeche photos: Palenque my favorite Expected grandeur and Palenque delivered. A big monument the Temple XIII, the temple of Inscriptions where Pakal, my favorite Maya dude, was buried deep inside, and Tumba de la Reina Roja, the tomb of the Red Queen, first sight you beheld once you rounded the turn upon entering the Maya city. Impressive! The queen tomb was covered in red. Bas-reliefs on the roof comb of the Temple of Inscriptions. From a bit afar, one could see the Temple of the Cross, high above. The Palace compound, with the aqueduct running beside it, had intricate structures, a 4-level observation tower, Corbel arch corridors and the Patio de Los Cautivos, an inner courtyard showing relief panels of the captives, and a grand staircase descending to the ball court and to the breathtaking Temple of the Count, Templo del Conde, on the left. Most impressive! We climbed the temple of the Sun, then the Temple of the Cross, which had spectacular views of the entire Palenque site, and the temple of the Foliated Cross, which had carved wall panels and hieroglyphs. Palenque is huge and only a quarter of it is open to public. But the quarter of it is manificent enough. SmallLeo couldnt stop wanting to take photos with the monuments. And quite a few he had. Looked everywhere for a fridge magnet with Pakal's face but couldnt find one I like. Also looked for a tshirt with his face but only found some that had either the round calendar with his face in the middle or too much text, so in the end I ended up with no Pakal fridge magnet and no Pakal tshirt. Sigh. Gosh, I really liked Palenque, my favorite of the Maya sites. And I was a bit infatuated with Pakal the Great, 8 Ahau and Sun Shield. His tomb replica is in Mexico city museum so i doubt I'd ever see it. Alberto Ruz Lhuillier, the Mexican archaeologist who discovered Pakal's tomb was buried right in front of the Pakal's temple. Finally had our picnic lunch with bread, crackers and tuna at A&T's porch. The light but satisfying lunch in the afternoon jungle atmosphere with birds on the trees and cuanti mundis roaming around, was relaxing and really quite nice. For the rest of the day, we've explored the hotel site, dined at the restaurant and just chilled out. Very pleasant and enjoyable day. Palenque - Its ancient name was Lakamha (“Big Water”) and its modern name comes from the nearby Spanish colonial settlement of Santo Domingo de Palenque Palenque photos: Hotel Chan-Kah photos: maya colored murals - Bonampak Every time Marco Aurelio, our driver, tried to drive around it, the pavo ocelado ran into the car. Luis started to make turkey cries which only made it angry. In its fury, finally the ocellated turkey gave up and let us leave. But not until after all of us had our photos of this colorful peacock like bird. Today we left Guatemala at Bethel and crossed the Usumacinta river by boat into Mexico at Frontera Corozal. Since we're leaving extra early, the hotel packed us box breakfast. I was standing at the entrance to the Tikal Inn when a woman came to ask if we were going to Flores. It turned out she and her boyfriend booked a car from the jungle lodge to take them to Flores but the the car dumped them at the Tikal Inn and therefore stranded in our hotel. Luis graciously offered to take them into our van and cross to Mexico with us. The boat ride on the Usumacinta was only about 20 minutes, driven by 2 little kids. Sand banks on both sides, not much to see but the wind was cool. At the Mexican custom, we all had to fill out new forms and they even made Luis, who was Mexican, fill out a form too. Then somehow we didnt had to pay the 550 pesos to get in. First we were told we had to, then they told us to pay at another building, then we didnt have to pay. Welcome to Mexican confusion. Ah Bonampak, the Maya site with the painted murals. Never knew Mayan had colored murals and never heard of Bonampak until I saw this trip. The murals were inside 3 separate chambers on top of the temple. The paintings were frescoes, with bright turquoise, rust and yellows. Mural 1 depicted Chan Muwaan II and his wife Lady Rabbit’s presentation of the Devine Ruler’s Heir to the royal court and visiting dignitaries. Mural 2 displayed brutal warfare and conquering. Mural 3 showed battle victory celebration with ruler's family puncturing their tongues for bloodletting. very colorful, however, one needed to dash in and out because only 4 people were allowed in at a time and there were lines of people waiting, so really not enough time to appreciate the artwork. 3 stelae but the most interesting one was stela 2 where the ruler Chan Muwaan II was engaged in a bloodletting ceremony with his mother or his wife. The site was small and the main temple although big enough to contain the temple of the murals and smaller structures, not very tall nor impressive. After this we reached Palenque, a small town and our hotel Chan-Kah just a short distance from the Maya site. This was the best hotel in the entire trip. Located inside the jungle, it boasted of 2 swimming pools, a grand restaurant, with cabins that seemed to go on forever, and a stream cutting through the complex. The rooms were single buildings 'casitas', beautiful with matching curtains, bed covers and toss pillows in Maya designs. The rooms were not big but each had a porch with comfy chairs and a small table. Agoutis and birds everywhere. Very loud Howler monkey cries. Since no one wanted to bother to call a taxi into town, we dined at the hotel restaurant. The food was OK, prices not too bad but service the pits. But evenings were great since one could sit in the porch, hear the jungle noise and drink teas. Bonampak = 'painted walls' in modern Mayan. Known anciently as Ak'e or, in its immediate area as Usiij Witz, 'Vulture Hill' Bonampak photos: Tikal in the morning and at night Good idea to start Tikal very early in the morning. Air was cool, very few tourists. Animals and birds were out. Our local guide Samuel led us into the park and pointed out mut muts, woodpeckers and howler monkeys on trees, a giant saba tree and cuati mundis. They're everywhere and one could hear the howler monkeys (very loud) and woody woodpecker destroying the tree trunks. Temple Q, the first we encountered, was climbable, so we did. Then the infamous Jaguar temple, Temple 1 facing Temple 2 on the main plaza. A wonder to admire. Not allowed to climb Temple I but there's a steep wooden staircase behind temple 2, so at least we could climb to the top to take in the entire complex. There's also a wooden staircase leading to the top of the grandest temple, the Great Pyramid, the Mundo Perdido. Asked why it was called that and the answer was the archaeologists found sexual connotations in the carvings which could reveal the builders were high on psychedelics or the archaeologists themselves high on mushrooms. The view from its top was spectacular as one could see the top of all the temples above the foliage. Last we climbed the switchback wooden stairs to get up to the top of Temple IV, the tallest. Ran back to the hotel for a late breakfast just before they stopped serving it. souvenir shopping was grand at Tikal. An entire area reserved for shops just outside of the entrance to the site. We shopped big time. Legs tired, we retired back to the hotel for another sit by the pool. Around 5, we started the sunset tour. I thought the sunset tour was to just find a spot in Tikal and admire the sunset perhaps from atop a pyramid. But it turned out to be much more. It was quite a long walking tour. First we went to the south side of the site. The temples were different in style, such as Temple 6, the temple of Inscriptions, which had big chaac eyes. Then we came upon the ruins of the Palacio de las Acanaladuras, with white washed slaps for walls. Temple V, the mortuary pyramid which had a round top, was brilliant with the sun setting behind it. Back at the main plaza, we witnessed the jaguar shadow creeping across Temple I. SmallLeo took many photos with his cousin jaguar shadow. We climbed temple IV again and watched the sunset from up there. Very tired, and in the dark, we went hunting for bats in a cave. Spotted a tarantula and a tiny scorpion on our way back to the hotel. Since our hotel restaurant was so pricey and food so bad, I've suggested to dine at the next door Jungle Lodge. The lodge looked very grand and modern and the restaurant menu extensive and not expensive. I had garlic shrimps and it was delicious. Tummy happy but legs tired, we walked the short distance back to the Tikal Inn and just in time to grab a shower before the lights went out again. That evening, our last in Tikal, I had my usual tea sitting in front of my thatch roof hut with SmallLeo, in complete darkness. I didnt even turn on my USB light. The night was pitch black. What a day it was. Tikal photos: Night without light Morning boat ride on the Rio Dulce. Calm waters, beautiful clear blue sky. Up on the lago Dulce, mangroves, tea plants, birds flying freely and sunbathing on tree branches. Giant red water lilies floating on the lake. Nice resort hotels and homes. Down by the strait, fort San Filipe, small but impressively still guarding the narrow passage. A very nice float on Rio Dulce. On our way to Tikal, we've stopped at a supermarket in El Petén to use the ATM and to purchase some picnic material to eat in the van rather than spending time in a sit down lunch since we have to cross the border to Mexico and a long drive to Palenque the day after tomorrow. Lunch today was in El Petén, on lago Petén Itzá with views of the Island of Flores. I had Argentine chorizo and horchata that had peanut powder on top. The chorizo was very good but hated the horchata. Not like the ones we have at home and that peanut powder just itched my throw. By the afternoon we've arrived at our hotel the Tikal Inn, just a short walk to the ruins. Lovely quaint Inn with a nice swimming pool and bungalows. The generator was only on for a few hours of the day since we're now inside the park and I came prepared with a USB charged light. T went for a swim. When Luis jumped in, an agouti jumped in after him. The hotel attendant tried several times unsuccessfully to scoop the creature out. Finally the animal jumped out of the pool on his own. That was the highlight of the afternoon. We just chilled at the hotel since there wasnt anything else to do. Grabbed a shower before dinner before the lights went out. We had drinks by the pool in the dark before dinner. Dinner at the restaurant was over priced and not good at all. The evening tea at my bungalow porch was in complete darkness. But it was also in complete quiet, no jungle noise whatsoever. it was hot and stuffy inside the mozzie net and i did not get much sleep that night and anxious to see Tikal the first time. Tikal Inn photos: got lucky at rio dulce Today drove back across the border to Quatemala. First stop was Quiriguá, a Maya site i've never heard of till now. On the way, we've entered Chiquita Banana land. Mucho banana trees. Quiriguá was small with no notable temples, but it's stela and zoomorph central. Zoomorfo, never heard of these until now. They were altars in animal forms. Very artistic stone monuments. The tallest one Estela E, 12m monolith, featured Cauac Sky (K’ak’ Tiliw Chan Yopaat) holding the Manikin Sceptre in his right hand to show his divine rulership. Estela I, Jade Sky was depicted sitting on a raised throne surrounded by the Sky Band. Estela J glyphs told us Cauac Sky beheaded 18-Rabbit, ruler of Copán who originally made Cauac Sky the ruler of Quirguá, to gain Quiriguá independence. Although Quiriguá boasts of the tallest stela in Maya land and many more than in Copán, I liked the stelae in Copán better. Beyond the stela plaza, there's the central plaza and acropolis, not very interesting. In a souvenir shop, T saw a circular carving depicting a Spaniard (Cortez?) fighting an Aztec, with a Serpent between them. Very significant piece of Art. By the afternoon, we've reached Rio Dulce. Had fish lunch under the Puente Rio Dulce. Nice breezy restaurant, very pleasant next to the river. After lunch we've boarded a boat to cross the river to our hotel, the Catamaran. Really enjoyed this short refreshing boat ride. The Catamaran was owned by an american. TripAdvisor reviews complained of the owner not trusting the employees and guests must pay him first and given a token to get the drinks at the bar. Bad reviews about him sitting at the bar watching TV, switching channels to suit him, being rude to guests and everything run army style. All the cabins were named in military names for A-Z. alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, oscar, whisky, zulu. When asked to turned down the TV so the guests could talk and relax at the bar, he told the guests to go someplace else. So i've dubbed him Basil Fawlty. When I asked Luis about him, Luis laughed out loud and said he would probably be at the bar watching TV. So the TripAdvisor reviews were true. Dinner had to be pre-ordered and was over priced and not good. After dinner, i wanted to go to the bar and see if the infamous owner was there. To my great disappointment, he didnt show up. However, both T&A and I got lucky as we got the Golfo and Hotel cabins, right on the river. Big cabin with 1 double and 2 single beds. Basic but with AC and the balcony facing the river. Was so sure with these tours, we wont be getting a river facing cabin, but was utterly pleasantly surprised. Spent some time reading my book sitting in the balcony with SmallLeo and drinking my tea there after dinner. The river view with the Rio Dulce bridge and the other riverbank was calming in the early evening. This trip wont be any good if i didnt get a room with a balcony right on the river. So I lucked out and was more than happy. Now only if I got to see the owner's face as well. Quiriguá photos: Rio Dulce photos: copán the most beautiful 'if you dont remember anything, you will always remember 18 Rabbit' Gladis, our Copán Ruinas park guide told us before we started out for the site. As we walked, crunching the gravel on the path to the ruins, Gladis started 'Copán is not very big but it's the most beautiful. The others have big monuments. Copán has beauty'. Before the stone staircase leading up to the acropolis, Gladis spotted some mut muts on the trees. Soon we spotted a few more and everyone started to photograph them. Up the staircase, Temple 16 was the first sight we beheld. Not quite imposing as the top was long gone. Only the lower parts of the step pyramid and the steep grand staircase remained. 'Inside this pyramid, archaeologists discovered a sacrificial temple, totally intact' Gladis continued. 'The archaeologists named it Rosalila as it's completely covered in red. Only the archaeologists can go inside. But you can see it by paying $8 but I dont recommend it because you see through a small window with glass and it's very dark inside.'. Both the Estela P and the altar Q that stood in front of Temple 16 were replicas. The real ones were in the site museum, which meant I had to visit it. Estela P was completely carved on all 4 sides, like nothing I've ever seen. It depicted Butz Chan, the 11th Ruler of Copán. Altar Q showed all 16 rulers, 4 on each side of the square altar. The front panel showed the first ruler Yax Kuk Mo passing the Royal Sceptre to the 16th ruler Yax Pasaj Chan Yopaat, Yax Pac, who wasnt from the royal blood line, so this symbolized his legitimate claim to power. On the left of Temple 16, it's the sacrificial Temple 11 where the rulers communed with the heavens and the underworld. 2 howler monkeys flanked the stairs. Luis, our tour leader, posed for a photo. 2 serpents heads with tongues sticking out, stood on each end of the temple. Leaving the Acropolis area, on the right of temple 16, it's the royal residences next to the Copán river, which corroded much of the site and was diverted away from the temples. Then up the stairs on the left, a tomb, believed to be of ruler Yax Pasaj Chan Yopaat (Yax Pac). 2 more temples on each side of the east court, structure 18, the temple of rebirth, which sat on top of Yax Pac's tomb, and on the other side of the court, temple 22, where the rulers performed their sacrifices for the people by cutting their penises (ouch). Temple 22 entrance had very detailed carvings of human skulls and images of Chaac, the rain god, at the corner of the walls. This temple looked very scary to me so I only took a photo of Chaac carved where 2 walls met. Down from Temple 22, we got a view of the main plaza where the hieroglyphic staircase of Temple 26 stood. Next to it, the ball court, and beyond, the plaza of the stelae. All Maya temples have grand staircases but none was carved. It had 2500 individual glyphs and its sides flanked by serpentine birds and snakes. 2 smoke jaguar statues sat on the staircase. In front of the stairway, Estela M, portrayed K’ak’ Yipyaj Chan K’awiil, Smoke Shell. The ball court was only second to the big one in Chichén Itzá. Instead of rings, the ball must hit the macaw heads. Then it was stela after stela, each different and carved on all sides. Some still showed the red color that was originally painted on the rock. A marvel to lay eyes on. The day was hot and humid, the sun was partially hidden behind clouds and the macaws were flying between and landing on trees for us to admire. A true jungle alive. The monuments werent tall or spectacular but the intricate stelae indeed made Copán a most beautiful Maya site. Since I'd really like to see the full size Rosalila, I paid the small local museum a visit. They made you walk through a tunnel which was the entrance to the museum and behold the bright red temple at the end of the tunnel. Reminded me of el Ciq in Petra. The Rosalila temple wasnt very big but completely carved on all sides and there were 2 entrances to it. One could get a better view of its entirely on the open 2nd floor of the museum. The museum although small, contained many interesting artifacts from the Maya site that one couldnt see at the site, such as, panels and building walls from the cemetery, and the original altar Q and Estela P. I've quite enjoyed this museum. Afterwards, we had refreshments at the park small cafe and shared our emotions about everything we saw. Then we drove back to our hotel which was just 5 minutes away. So it was town painting time. the Copán Ruinas town was a mellow village located on a hill and the cobblestone lanes were narrow, long and steep. Very picturesque, with colorful houses, restaurants, hotels and shops lining the streets. The small town square had a church, a monument dedicated to the local archaeologists who excavated the Maya site and a replica of Stela A. We had a delicious sandwich lunch at the San Rafael coffee and restaurant and i bought some Honduran coffee which although not very strong, was very flavorful, to take home. I quite liked this town. Dinner was at the Twisted Tanya, owned by an American from the Caribbeans. The menu and specials of the day looked very good but the food was just so so and a bit on the expensive side. While dining, a truck drove slowly by, blasting diesel and insecticides. Their way to curb the mozzies. We had to cover our food and drinks and hold our breaths. sigh. It's been a long time since I'd wanted to finish the Ruta Maya and finally visiting Copán, I was quite happy and really enjoyed this Maya site. Cant wait to see Palenque. Copán photos: Copán Museum: Copán Town: tropical torrential rain in the afternoon Volcán de Agua finally showed itself in full glory this morning. Its top was covered in clouds in these past days. What a photo opt! Today a long drive to cross the border to Honduras to get to Copán, our first Maya site. We had to stop and waited for about half an hour on a road that only let cars passed in 1 direction at a time. Soon after, the van's AC unit stopped blowing cold air and we had to radio to get another van. So we stopped at a hotel for early lunch and waited there for another van to arrive. It took 5 hours! During the wait, we explored the hotel which contained slides into a swimming pool and kids playground. Later in the afternoon we heard thunder and saw lightning and then the tropical rain started to pour straight done. T and I went outside to experience it. It was refreshing and smelled of the tropics. 'lluvia!' I exclaimed with my arms wide open in the parking lot in front of the hotel, "si, porque mucho calor", said a hotel attendant. I really missed rain like this since we dont have them in CA. Such a memorable moment! I just stood there in the hotel entrance to watch and to feel the rain. So loved that moment. Got to the border after dark and to expedite, Luis paid both our entrance and exit fees and to save time, we didnt wait to get our passport stamped. So no Honduras stamp. A few km later we arrived at don Udo's hotel on top of a very steep cobblestone street. Another colonial style hotel, with rooms on 2 floors surrounding a central courtyard. The room was basic but comfortable and with AC. We walked a few blocks to Carnitas Nia Lola restaurant that had excellent grilled meat on skewers for dinner. Very good meal. The waitresses delivered the dishes carrying them on their heads. Copán Ruinas park was just a few minutes from the Ruinas town and I couldnt wait to wake up the next morning to see this maya site for the first time. Lluvia ! no more chicken pate in Antigua Or was it the ice in my lemon ice tea? Morning guided tour of Antigua. Quatemala means place of many trees. Their currency the Quetzal was named after the country's bird. Antigua was an old capital but was moved away after the floods when Volcán de Agua erupted. Old antigua was the original capital. Present Antigua was the new city. It's stunningly set between 3 volcanoes, Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. A city with many churches (abc tours, another bloody church). But what blew me away were the colorful buildings lining the cobblestone lanes. So picturesque. A woman washing clothes at the open lavandaria, the old fashion way. Bernal Diaz house on the street named after him. At the jade shop, I've learned of white and purple jadeites, jade stones. Never knew jade can be other than green. Wondering around after lunch, we came upon the Collegio de la Compania de Jesus where Bernal Diaz lived and wrote. Inside totally renovated and very pretty with cloisters. The façade still remained and we thought it was a church. We had lunch at the cafe Condesa right on the central square. It's owned by a friend of A. We had chicken pate and I had ice tea that came with ice. The pate came in a big portion and with bread and tortillas and was excellent. Later that evening I felt sick with tummy aches so I skipped dinner. Another night without dinner in Antigua. But was able to catch up on 'Verses for the Dead', the most recent Pendergast book. Antigua photos: disappointed at lake atitlán "How did you get the name Byron?" We asked Byron, our local guide. he said his father liked to read and learned English on his own. Since back then there were only English literature to read, he named his children after his favorite characters. "So what are your sisters names?" "My father named them after his girlfriends" Byron replied. Drive to the lake took a long time. There was an accident on the road, so we had to take an alternative which proved to be more scenic. Halfway we stopped at a nice cafe supposedly with very good coco but the hot chocolate was just sweet and not chocolate-ly. But the cafe was nice with an open lighted fire pit in a very pleasant partially sunny day. Was really looking forward to the boat ride on Lake Atitlán, a former volcanic crater from an eruption 80K years ago. What i thought was a leisure float on the lake with fantastic volcano views, turned out to be a straight shot from 1 shore to the next. The day was now cloudy and foggy with no views of the volcanoes. Volcán San Pedro barely showed with its top covered in fog. The town of santiago wasnt too interesting. Just up from the dock, souvenir shops. Tuk tuk to the shaman maximono was much just a tourist trap. Didnt even go in. The town cathedral was a bit more interesting. Since it's holy week, purple curtains were hung on the church ceiling and all the holy statues were on display. Walking down the town lanes lined with souvenir shops, we stopped at El Pescador a seafood restaurant for lunch. Their black bass wasnt bad. Then another fast straight shot back to the other shore, Panajachel. Another super long drive back to Antigua. Again, halfway we made a stop to sample the other coffee shop owned by the same owner of the first one and with the same name. The building and decor very similar to the first one. This one was famous for its pies and we sampled some. Women were baking tortillas with blue corn. Then traffic again specially when we got into Antigua due to the holy procession. Waiting in traffic, this gave us time to learn more about the Mayans. Maya mean people of the maize. They believed they were created from the corn. Then the conversation switched to the Spanish conquest of mesoamerica. "Why did Montezuma let the Spaniards in?" "He believed in the prophesies and thought Cortez was Quetzalcoatl who came to proclaim Montezuma the living god." "I'm wowed by all the cities and monuments the Mayans built. But what got me was why the sacrifices" asked T. "We need to understand, responded Luis, there were 3 types of sacrifices. One performed by the ruler on himself for the people. One done by volunteers. And then one to kill the conquered. Nowadays we think human sacrifices are terrible things. But to understand the Mayans, we need to understand how they think in their times." It was dark by the time we made it back to our hotel. We caught a few peeks of the procession. Not interesting to me since I've grown up with holy processions. The only interesting part, as a kid going to the processions, was dinner after the procession because we always dined out. However we skipped dinner this evening. Lake Atitlán photos: antigua blew me away Very excited to finally start the Kingdom of the Maya trip. The usual 1 hour ride from Quatemala City airport to Antigua took almost 2 hours due to most horribly heavy traffic. I've never seen traffic this bad. Not even in Southeast Asia. But along the way we got some views of Quatemala. After the monotonous city views, up and down a hill, suddenly we came upon narrow cobblestone streets with brightly colored houses flanking both sides. It was like we just walked into the old colonial era. Very picturesque. Reminiscence of my childhood. Our hotel the Posada Don Rodrigo was an old refurbished colonial house. One of the first five houses in the ciudad de La Antigua Guatemala, the building was known as La Casa de los Leones due to the double lions flanking the building entrance. It was once owned by a Spanish government representative Don Sancho Alvarez de las Asturias Y Nava. Now a hotel with traditional colonial style and character. The rooms had heavy double wooden doors but small windows that looked out to the courtyards, so very dark rooms. Mine had a tiny window, 2 tiny bathrooms, 1 with a sink and shower and another with a sink and toilet. Not practical. But the furniture, bed, desk and armoire went well with the colonial style. Rooms surrounded the 3 separate courtyards. The open area of the restaurant had an altar of Virgin Mary, so maybe once upon a time, it was the family's chapel. Just outside the hotel, on the left we could see the Volcán de Agua and on the other end of the street, the Arco de Santa Catalina, where A stayed 40 years ago in the convent cloisters. Behind it, the Iglesia de la Merced, painted yellow with white accents. In the afternoon, instead of going out to explore town, we just chilled in the courtyard chairs. Possibly one of the best meals in this trip was at the Posada restaurant. We've ordered 2 chicken stews, one Antigua style with red sauce and the Quatemalan in green sauce. The Antigua red won. Absolutely flavorful. However, it came with dark meat and bony so not much to eat. The night was chilly and even under 2 woolen blankets, I felt cold.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25551
__label__wiki	0.805838	0.805838	[11/6/13] E3 2013: Nintendo Direct And so we've had our Nintendo Direct goodness for the day. And, as usual, a lot was shown. And boy was it amazing. First, a new Pokémon X and Y trailer. Oh it is looking so good, and by the time of release, it will just be too good to even play. But play it we must. Two new features, one of which is a new type - that being Fairy. It is super effective to dragon. Returning Pokémon Jigglypuff, Gardevoir, and Marill will take on this new type. Hold on, Marill? Oh well. Anyway, the new Eeveelution Sylveon also takes this type. The next feature, called Pokémon Amie [A-Me] sees you feeding and petting Pokémon to bond more with them. Seems interesting. Oh, and did I mention that the game will be coming October this year. On the twelfth? Super Mario 3D World takes the 3DS' game and makes it better. Four players, stunning scenery, even more additions to the gameplay, and Cat Mario... A new powerup that gives the player the abilities of a cat, including scratching enemies to defeat them and climbing up walls [and the end flagpole]. Playable characters are Mario, Luigi, Peach, and a Toad. The game will be available in December this year. Next up, Mario Kart 8. And boy does it look even better than before. Bikes are back, it looks like twelve racers are back, new karts and returning gliding and underwater sections. New is hover mode and anti-grav racing, which leads to twisting tracks and even driving upside down. As for tracks, it looks like we have a new Luigi's Mansion track, a new Peach's Castle track, a new chocolate/candy themed track, some type of city themed track [City Escape from Sonic Generations-like], a ruins type track, a desert type track, and it seems returning 3DS favourites Piranha Plant Pipeway, Melody Motorway, and the Wii's Dry Dry Ruins. I cannot wait for it, but we'll have to wait until Spring 2014 to get our hands on it. Party games! Wii Party U. 80 new minigames, control schemes using both Gamepad and Wii Remotes, and brand new board game styles [of play]. Bad news.

Tingle Tuner replaced with the Tingle Bottle so you can post on Miiverse with text or screenshots, so that bottles might wind up in someone else's game. The game looks so good, this might just be my first proper Zelda game I will buy. The Wonderful 101, the Pikmin-esque game featuring super heroes battling in a city against an invasion force of giant robots. New moves can be purchased from the in-game shop with credits earned from missions, and to activate them and go into 'Unite Mode' by drawing the symbol on the Gamepad. Five players can also play together, with Wii Remotes and one with the Gamepad, with each player controlling their own heroes, and have their own powers. Releases September 15. It was also said a Direct will be coming soon focused entirely on this game near to launch. Good to hear. The new Donkey Kong Country game looks even more hectic than the previous one, and much more stunning. A lot more camera angles able to be used, and the visuals are fully enhanced. The plot is Donkey Kong island has been over-run by Vikings from the north sea, and DK needs to travel to five islands to stop them. Co-op is in again, with Dixie Kong available for the second player, as well as Diddy, who's returning. Dixie has flight abilities which help in the game. It looks just as hard as previous games in the series. Oh, it looks a good game for those who like platformers, but since I'm not really one of them [okay, okay. Mario and Sonic are the only two though] I'd recommend it to anyone who is. This is - Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, available November. Bayonetta 2 now has a new trailer, showing two characters duking it out, before gameplay footage of the game. It showcases the range of moves available, and looks over-the-top in a good way. A vague release of 2014 was given, but more info will soon be coming our way when E3 starts proper, which I suppose is now. Monolith Soft's game, and it looks like we Nintendo fans have our own version of Titanfall in X. Open world action gameplay, and mechs that can fly. The graphics are stunning. The action is incredible. And if this looks good, I'm getting it. I'm all up for open world games. And then. The ultimate. Animal Crossing! No. It's Super Smash Bros. 4. We got the 3DS gameplay first, which looks cel-shaded. And then, we got to the WiiU version. Looking just as good as ever, Pit is retuning again, as is the usual cast. But, two new characters were revealed. They wouldn't show Animal Crossing without reason, and that reason came with a net landing on Mario's head and the words 'Villager comes to town'. Showing a male villager from Wild World. His attacks range from the various things in the Animal Crossing universe. And then, the logo's for both games, then the date. That would seem to be that. Oh, no it wasn't. We was then treated to the classic New Challenger Approaching sign. And, up on a mountain, a figure with hair. Which then turns to a helmet, and then, the silhouette is revealed. Megaman comes to Super Smash Bros. A new trailer commences with Megaman battling. The website is open now. Many fans have waited for this game, and no way did many of us expect such a deep look at this game. I am so going to get it, as this looks to be great. Iwata then takes us behind the scenes at Nintendo's E3 booth with a sneak peak. Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World are among those that can be played in the booth, as well as select North American Best Buy stores. And that ending the Direct with the Pikmin section shown.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25554
__label__wiki	0.898855	0.898855	Home » Naval Aviation Hot Topics » Leadership failures in Navy pilot training squadrons led to Tennessee T-45 crash Leadership failures in Navy pilot training squadrons led to Tennessee T-45 crash By: Mark D. Faram The Navy’s official investigation into the Oct. 1 crash in rural Tennessee of a T-45C Goshawk from Training Squadron 7 concluded the crash was the fault of the instructor pilot, even though at the time of impact, he wasn’t at the controls. Investigators said that the instructor pilot was “flat-hatting” by flying and directing his student to fly too close and too fast to ground, which is against the Navy’s procedure for such training of student pilots, the Navy’s investigation into the crash concluded. The report also said that the investigation shows that such out-of-bounds flights and unauthorized training had become part of culture in the VT-7, but also throughout all the Navy’s tactical jet training, which investigators called a “failure of leadership.” Navy says pilot error caused last year’s training jet crash A Navy investigation has concluded that pilot error led to an Oct. 1 T-45C Goshawk training aircraft crash in a remote Tennessee national forrest killing an instructor and student pilot. Lt. Patrick Ruth, the instructor pilot, and Lt. j.g. Wallace E. Burch were killed on the training flight. “This mishap resulted from individual pilot error, a culture within VT-7 and Chief of Naval Air Training at large, which fostered [instructor pilots] and [student naval aviators] flying their aircraft beyond the bounds of approved Naval Air Training Command curriculum,” Rear Adm. James Bynum, who commands all pilot training in the Navy, wrote in the report’s executive summary on April 9. Bynum noted that the flight’s purpose was low altitude awareness training and they were initially on an approved training route, but that the instructor, Ruth, deviated from proper procedure and also encouraged Burch to do the same. Ruth, Bynum said, was “flat hatting,” which he described as “flight conduced at low altitude and/or a high rate of speed for thrill purposes,” and had been seen doing the same thing on the weekend training flights the days before the mishap. “The investigation further demonstrated [Ruth] was overly confident, nonchalant and aggressive at low altitude training, with limited awareness of the performance capabilities of the T-45C in the [low altitude awareness training] environment,” Bynum wrote. “This attitude influenced [Ruth’s} instructional style and conditioned [Burch] to fly the aircraft in an aggressive manner, without correction from [Ruth].” In the moments leading up to the crash, Burch was initially at the controls, flying as per Ruth’s instructions in a manner that exceeded approved rules for this type of training. “This included aggressive ridge line crossings and decending turns that took them below the minimum altitude of 500 feet above ground level many times, to include potentially as low as 210 feet,” Bynum wrote in describing the flight. Class C accidents were the primary driver of a significant rise in Super Hornet mishaps. The Navy does train this way at times, but not at the basic student level, Bynum pointed out, and said advanced skills like these should only be taught at fleet replacement squadrons that are preparing pilots to join operational squadrons in the fleet. Thirty-five seconds before they crashed, Ruth told Burch to deviate from the approved course and told him they would simply follow the terrain. “Ruth assumed control of the aircraft 26-seconds before the mishap and commenced a defending turn to demonstrate terrain following techniques,” Bynum wrote. Just 10 seconds before the impact, Ruth directed Burch to take control of the aircraft and make a hard right turn. “What neither [Ruth] nor [Burch] knew was that they were too slow and too low relative to the rising terrain in front of them and that the attempted control input to recover was beyond the limitations of the aircraft,” Burch wrote. “In response to their maneuvers, the aircraft entered into a stall. By the time the aircrew realized they were in extremis, it was too late to eject safely.” Bynum also said it was questionable that Ruth was even qualified to fly the T-45C or teach the low-level maneuvers, because there was no record he’d completed the requisite training in the T-45C himself and in the end formally concluded: “It was their actions flying the aircraft in violation of the [chief of naval air training] syllabus and training objectives that resulted in the mishap.” Still, Bynum approved the investigators recommendation that Ruth and Burch’s deaths “be found in the line of duty and not due to misconduct.” In the wake of the crash, Bynum ordered a review of the low altitude and directed that every instructor pilots’ records be reviewed to ensure they are qualified, in an attempt to put a stop to a culture of training beginning pilots in techniques that are too advanced for them to handle. Because leadership tolerated this shift in culture, it was taken by the instructors as tacit approval it was ok. Though Bynum directed no punitive actions be taken against anyone, he says that he’s taken action to ensure that going forward that training is conducted within the rules and that all instructors are totally qualified to train their students. “The syllabus was designed to be safe when executed within existing guidance, because it was designed with built-in risk control measures at every level,” Bynum wrote. “This mishap is a glaring example of just how tragic the consequences can be when there is either a lack of flight discipline or willful deviation from standards.” Navy Training Aircraft Crashes at Naval Air Station Meridian Two dead in T-45 crash, Navy confirms Navy T-45 Squadron Pauses Operations After Crash Kills Two Blue Angels jet crashes after take-off in Tennessee, killing pilot	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25563

I'm not really sure where this is going to end up in the annals of comic hero history. Better than Superman '78? F no. People that weren't alive then need to know that Superman was an event, not just some silly flick that came and went. It was a Donner film, a Williams score, based on one of the most beloved super heroes of all time, and they nailed it. I think if they look another look at the script, or perhaps put in a scene or two that was probably deleted which would explain a few things, it would have been better. That said, third act was a complete mess. Home - Twitter - Sig Wall-Retired - Flickr Visit starman's homepage!

So, first half 4/5 stars, last half 1.5/5, with an average of 2.5 (because the last means more than the first, to me). That still isn't a pass, IMO, since a movie needs a 3 to get approval, but if a person is really into DC comics' films, it's worth a watch and definitely not the worst to come out in the last several years. Better than BvS theatrical, not as good as MoS, just sort of in the middle. "I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." - M.L.King Jr Find More Posts by Cap'n Tightpants What I liked about the movie pretty much centered around WW as a character, and not so much the movie's plot. I liked how there was some mystery to WW herself, and the history of her people. We knew that her motivations were pure and naive, but didn't know exactly what sort of decisions she would make. Part of this was because there aren't really any overpowered female superhero characters to function as some sort of model, so as a character she was sort of fresh with a clean slate. I hope there are many more strong female characters like her in movies to come. I think the strong male character archetype has been pretty worn. That's part of the problem. TOO much was spent on her. Everyone else was "disposable". andipandi Location: inside 128, north of 90 "That Superman movie really spent too much time on Superman. I really wanted to learn more about Jimmy Olsen's character growth." - said no one ever It's her movie, she's allowed to be the main character. I thought WW did a pretty good job with her origin and culture shock in the real world, and a decent job with Steve Trevor's motives/empathy too. The other Amazons were real people too. Steve's buddies didn't have much time but I liked all of them and their POV. Absolutely they could have kept all this good character stuff and also tidied the ending (see my previous nitpicks).

Find More Posts by Jawbone54 Jimmy Olsen wasn't a major character. Lois Lane was. I felt that Steve Trevor was just "there". Also, the whole "you promised you'd take me to the war" dialog was eyeroll-inducing. The War isn't being held at Wembley Stadium. There were dialog bits like that which made me want to rewrite some parts. Why didn't Diana take out the bombs? Steve's sacrifice was pathetic and stupid. On the contrary starman, I thought Steve... had a lot of good lines about his past, his conflict about being a spy, and his dad. He was very likeable. They were mysterious about his past, and that intrigued me... but probably it would take another movie to explain it, and not contribute to the WWI plot. A lot of his character we can fill in the blanks, for every other world-weary spy of this type we've seen in movies. They shot themselves in the foot killing him, potential for future scenes with diana and steve going back home to his family, etc. I totally agree Diana could have taken out the bombs, but kind of get "Steve's willingness to sacrifice" proved to her that humanity wasn't doomed. So yeah, a) she totally could have rescued him, or b) if he must risk himself, why doesn't he parachute out of there... Argh. That is not to say they won't retcon his death away, but I don't get the sense that they are planning more historical Wonder Woman movies, just present day Justice League et all. Which is too bad, I would love to see a return to Amazon Island. "take me to war" from the POV of someone whose whole world was an island, sure, she imagined one battlefield, not a whole continent. I could have hoped they'd spent more time on that loong (magicly speedy) boat journey discussing current events/fashion/history/geography/war/etc, not the 12 volume set of sex, but ya know, the funny. [Do you think this movie would have been as strong with a male director, or do you think the female directing POV had a relevant impact on the results? The only way to compare is apples to apples, and the only other cases to compare it too are Catwoman and Elektra, so... I think a female director might have helped guide certain positive decisions, like costume and history... But I would have felt fine with Joss Whedon directing also. Originally Posted by Jawbone54 GotG 1 All three Captain America movies Steve's death was wholly pointless, it made no sense at all, and only reinforced the tired old male disposability trope. That's no way to treat a character with such a long, illustrious history in comics. Hell, before the complete revamp of the Wonder Woman title, he was so revered by the gods of Mt Olympus they invited him to live among them when he retired, revitalizing him and making him an immortal. Also, while Gal looked great, and the action scenes (the ones that weren't pure CGI-fests) were very good, I found her acting to be merely adequate. I don't mean this as a slam against her abilities, but she'd benefit greatly from some advanced acting classes. Location: Gothenburg, Sweden Original Iron Man.

Originally Posted by Cap'n Tightpants Agreed, for the most part... it was either a waste/throwaway of his character, their great years-long partnership, or they plan to do a retcon that won't make sense and will totally make his "sacrifice" pointless. Also, with setting this movie in WWI, they made it very unlikely that Steve Trevor would still be alive in present day. I looked up the male disposability trope and don't buy it here, for Steve. This wasn't casual cannon fodder, it was heroic sacrifice. Was Spock disposable? Also, it's not like Steve Trevor twisted his ankle and had to yell, help help! and provide a distraction from the hero busy saving the world, nearly every female sidekick ever. They are all good movies, but the original X-men is actually more than 15 years old and the second is close enough to that limit that I didn't bring it up anyway. First Class is fine but arguably did become a bit of mess at the end. ajprice Star Trek, Jack Ryan, probably some other, now Wonder Woman. Chris Pine does like riding a bike doesn't he? I liked the film, as said already, its better than other DC films, Nolan Batman excepted. When the credits came up at the end, Etta Candy - Lucy Davis was a surprise, she sort of looked familiar, but I couldn't place her watching the film. Dawn from The Office (UK)... It'll be much easier if you just comply. Find More Posts by ajprice OK, so....been thinking about No Man's Land She says, "No, but that's what I'm doing to do". Cue applauds in theater. But then...she gets stuck in the middle and needs help? DAFUQ? So essentially she did nothing. What scene were you watching? Men with mouths agape at her selflessness suddenly realize that oh yeah, if she's risking herself, so can they. Also, while she's the distraction (tank) they can flank. I saw soldiers scrambling to action, not to rescue a damsel in distress. Well, let's break that scene down, shall we? She gets up, says that SHE* is going to help the villagers. SHE walks across and starts taking fire. The commander tells his men to not engage, "that's an order". So she's taking fire, and the soldiers can't do jack because they're told NOT to. But Steve & Co. magically take out all the Germans on the other side while she's distracting them. I thought Steve just said that the Germans have "every square inch covered". So she's a distraction. Well, she didn't say "I'm going to go distract them" After Steve & Co. take out some Germans, THEN the commander tells them men to go. It seemed like ok, is she just distracting them? Why not just go in the trench and destroy all the weapons? So in the end all she really did was distract them. coughyoutubecough subego Location: Chicago, Bang! Bang! Still haven't seen it. Plan was to see it Friday. At the moment, it's not going to be showing. At least in the three theatres it's showing right now. Is this computer ****ery as they rearrange screens for Transformers, or is it actually only getting a 20 day wide release? Find More Posts by subego The drop-off has been intense, like most other superhero films. WW actually had less dropoff than most superhero movies, with 43% to second weekend and 30% to third (doesn't say what it is 30% of, but from math it seems to 30% of second weekend). It is now outpacing MoS and Suicide Squad. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/showdow...c&id=dcuni.htm Perhaps the entire industry assumed a more traditional dropoff and are now out of screens to show something on. I know that Sixth Sense back in the day had a negative dropoff (as in, more people saw it the second weekend than the first, and more the third than the second) and it threw the entire planning for cinemas into disarray. Well, for the Thursday matinee, we're the only people who have bought tickets so far. As an aside, gawd I heart reserved seating at movies. ProTip: row D Originally Posted by P I wasn't talking about just DC. Drop-off is actually better than all the Marvel movies I could think of to check, and only Avengers and Iron Man come close. Even generally well-regarded Logan has a worse drop-off. Now the opening weekend was far from great, so it isn't like it is going to be some sort of best of all time - even beating BvS might be hard - but there is some bounce here. (Boxoffiicemojo is the source for all of the above, BTW). They finally figured out the math and gave it screens for Friday. Which is good, because that was ridiculous. Didn't see it until tonight. Well, it was good for a DC movie I guess. I'm almost positive I got the censored ending, but I'm slightly doubting myself.

Except for the painted stories, I felt it lacked imagination. Well, they were quite imaginative in terms of new ways to have gratuitous panty shots. Related, I definitely give the movie props for the fight coordination. It didn't feel like wire-fu. However, the high frame rate shots were distracting. Speaking of fight coordination, they showed the trailer for La Femme Atomic Blonde. I'm scanning your posts for criticism of Gal Gadot. Tread lightly. Speaking of which, does this seem like utter bullcrap to the rest of y'all? Countless fans came the Israeli-born actress' defense last week after news broke that she was paid just $300,000 for the summer blockbuster — but it turns out that sum isn't all that uncommon for a relatively unknown actor's first shot at a superhero flick. Chris Evans was paid the same rate for his first "Captain America" film in 2011 and Chris Hemsworth reportedly raked in even less for his debut as Thor the same year. Considering that these films are nearly guaranteed to be a financial (if not critical) success, how are these actors getting paid so little? "Little" being a relative term, of course. If that's what Evans and Helmsworth got paid, I am ok with it. She is an unknown. Plus, she got the same amount for batman v Superman, where basically "all she did was one fight scene and check her email." Nothing to criticize. She rocked. In the case of Marvel, they sign contracts for multiple movies with an escalating pay scale, so the Chrises et al rake it in on the later movies. I'm kind of OK with it. If the movie does poorly, then the mostly unknown leads got paid 300 grand for a single shoot plus some promotion and are free to do something else while the studio moves on to another idea. If the movie does well, the studio makes money and is incentivised to make a sequel where the actors are paid more, while still keeping costs sane. The only case where Marvel was forced to re-up was with Robert Downey Jr. He reportedly used that chance to not only get rich but to also improve the contracts for some of his co-stars, as he thought that they didn't get paid enough. Jul 1, 2017, 02:12 PM The only case where Marvel was forced to re-up was with Robert Downey Jr. He reportedly used that chance to not only get rich but to also improve the contracts for some of his co-stars, as he thought that they didn't get paid enough. Yet another reason to love the guy. Jul 2, 2017, 10:45 AM I think it is partly that he feels obligated to pay it forward (he was essentially unemployable after coming out of jail, and is back partly because directors and other actors stood up for him) and partly because he wanted to keep the Avengers around and successful because it meant more paydays for him. This is all rumors, but the story is that Marvel only signed up Chris Evans (Captain America) for all the Avengers movies. RDJ and Chris Hemsworth (Thor) each got 3+1 deals, 3 single movies and 1 Avengers, while Scarlett Johanssen only had a single picture deal. Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo both signed on for multi-picture deals, but it was always clear that they would be only part of the ensemble, never in solo movies, and neither was a superstar that opens movies anyway. Both the Chrises and ScarJo got $500k for Avengers, while Renner and Ruffalo reportedly got less. RDJ had this deal structured so he got a percent of the gross. As you may have noticed, Avengers did rather well - RDJ got north of $50 million for that movie alone. This did not pass unnoticed among the rest of the cast or the industry. Marvel's thinking was that only Cap is essential to an Avengers movie - everyone else can be replaced. If Hemsworth didn't want to do it, well...I guess Thor is busy in Asgard right now, sorry about that, here is Vision instead. This also put a nice ceiling on the salary requests, as Marvel could say with some logic that they didn't want to pay anyone more than what they paid Cap, and his salary was set in stone already. The success of the Iron Man singles kinda killed that idea. Every market research Marvel and Disney could make made it clear that an Avengers 2 without RDJ would not sell. Marvel needed RDJ more than he needed them, and he knew it. At the same time, Hemsworth had grown to be a big star, and apparently hated the diet and exercise regimen he had to do to be Thor. Do that for small time money when other studios wanted to pay him $5 million to show up? Why bother? ScarJo also demanded more money than Marvel was willing to offer. At this point RDJ apparently pushed for better deals for his costars. He did not sign until Hemsworth and ScarJo were on board, and supposedly even pushed for Marvel to renegotiate some of the deals for actors they had already locked up. Just to add insult to injury, Joss Whedon (who clearly knew what he was doing) turned in a script that simply would not work without Tony Stark. Not Iron Man - Tony Stark. Marvel couldn't even put someone else in that armor. So Marvel folded. The details of all of this are unknown, and while none of the others got anywhere near the payday RDJ got, they all seem happy now, and several of the stars have signed up for extra movies without much noise. At the same time the call sheet for Avengers 3 and 4 is absolutely bonkers, so Marvel clearly isn't going out of business because of actor salaries. And back on topic, WW has now beaten BvS on domestic gross and even has a few well-regarded Marvel singles behind it. Not too shabby. I'm going out on a limb here... God, I hated this sooooooo much. Adjusted for inflation? Multiply BvS by 1.02. I only looked a couple of years back, and no, I did not adjust for inflation. at least Dr Strange and Captain America: Winter Soldier are behind it by a large enough margin that a few percent from inflation cannot possibly make up for it. Was Dr. Strange any good? Sorry, but WW is behind Winter Solder WITHOUT adjusting. Winter Soldier WW: $714k Wonder Woman WW: $708k He said domestic gross. $346MM for WW, $259MM for WS.

You’re excited about launching your career in a groundbreaking industry, applying your education to one of the STEM disciplines. Medical research fascinates you, not only because of the scientific process, but because it’s your chance to make a positive impact on people’s lives. So you join a small medical device company whose organizational purpose appears to align with your own aspirations. You’re assigned to a team of like-minded peers and you get to work on a device that protects millions of people each year. All’s going to plan. But then your organization is acquired by a powerhouse pharmaceutical company that jacks up the price of the product – 550 percent over several years. People around the world are angered. They can no longer afford what is, for some, the difference between life and death. The government and the press take your entire firm to task. The company agrees to a $465M settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice for misclassifying the product as generic. And in the midst of all this, you learn the CEO of your company—your leader—has taken home a mind-blowing performance bonus. Your heart sinks. You feel betrayed. And you check out. We are, of course, talking about the harsh reality faced by the employees of Mylan, the pharmaceutical giant that’s under fire and at the center of the EpiPen debate. It will be next to impossible for Mylan to convince its key stakeholders—patients, parents, regulators, and especially employees—that its company mission is to improve the lives of others. Because fairly or not, Mylan’s actions have cemented the belief that its core organizational purpose is to maximize profits above all else. An industry’s reputation impacts the ability to attract new talent Much of the Mylan debacle has centered on its aggressive business practices. But the real damage will run far deeper than the financial strain imposed on patients and insurance companies. The cultural backlash will have a profound effect on the rising generation of young researchers. There’s a real risk the Mylan controversy will impact the Life Sciences industry’s ability to recruit talent in the future. According to Wendy Salomon, vice president of reputation management at Nielsen (via Harris Poll), “An industry’s reputation paints all the companies within it with a broad brush.” A genuine organizational purpose is key to employee recruiting and retention Fig 1. Financial Services’ Reputation Improves. Pharma Industry Perception Decline, while Automotive Rebounds If the true leaders in medical research want to make a difference, they will root out the bad apples in the industry and strike a reasonable balance between making a profit and fulfilling the promise of saving lives. If they don’t, Pharma’s reputation will continue to slide, and the ability to develop a new generation of adventurous researchers will be kneecapped. This may feel like payback for a greedy industry, but ultimately we’ll all pay the price of medical research stagnation. For a direct comparison look no further than Financial Services, whose reputation is now slightly higher than that of the pharmaceutical firms (see Fig 1). Banks were already viewed with suspicion prior to the 2008 collapse, but what they lacked in reputation they made up for in swashbuckling excitement and dizzying bonuses. Post-recession, with more skeletons being pulled out of the financial closet (see Wells Fargo, HSBC, LIBOR rate fixing etc.) and with heavy regulatory oversight and compliance requirements, banks are struggling to attract and retain qualified staff. Those millennials who do join big banks leave the industry before planning on moving up. And remember, unlike molecular biology, financial skills learned on Wall Street are highly transferable to other industries. Industries and companies with poor reputations can still staff their divisions, but they often incur a ‘reputation penalty’ in the form of higher salaries, lower expectations, smaller selection pool, and more perks. “The entry-level exodus has spurred Wall Street into an uncharacteristic bout of soul searching, as leaders conclude that the industry must alter its long-held traditions and rethink its approach to management.” – The Wall Street Journal Top Workplaces recognize the importance of defining—and living—organizational purpose Organizational purpose drives the career choices of graduates who seek this as much as the potential financial reward. As people progress in their careers they report the importance of meaning in work increasing. The notion of organizational purpose and knowing your time spent at work contributes something positive in the world is a powerful force. Top Workplaces organizations already recognize this. That’s why they infuse meaning and purpose by not only defining an inspiring mission statement, but living it too. Employee Advocacy: the next big marketing channel?

__label__cc	0.64584	0.35416	Category: Fiqh of the family What should a Muslim do when he wants to consummate his marriage? assalamuvalakum I am a 21yr old young man and inshallah next year getting married. My question is that, i need to know the way a marriage is set to be planned, i mean how is the nikah supposed to be performed, how many people can i invite is there a limit, can i have music, dancing during my wedding or during reception or valima. Also i need to know is that, whose responsibility is it to conduct the nikah and valima, is it the brides, or the bride grooms. I need to know this answer a.s.a.p. so i could inform my family and inshallah i will implement it in my life, so Allah will bless me and my marriage. My family is from XXX and so show alot of custom. What is Said Just Prior to Intercourse When should one pray two rak'ahs with one's bride? When a Muslim wants to consummate his marriage, a number of things are recommended in the sunnah: He should treat his bride kindly and gently, like offering her something to drink and so on, because of the hadeeth narrated by Asmaa’ bint Yazeed ibn al-Sakan, who said: “I prepared ‘Aa’ishah as a bride when she married the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). I came to him and invited him to see her (uncover her face). So he came and sat beside her, and a large cup of milk was brought to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) drank some, then offered it to her, but she lowered her head and felt shy. I rebuked her and said: ‘Take it from the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ So she took it and drank a little, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to her, ‘Give some to your companion (meaning himself).’” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad and deemed saheeh by al-Albaani) He should place his hand on his bride’s head and pray for her, saying “Bismillaah” and asking for barakah (blessing), saying the words reported in the hadeeth narrated by ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas, who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When one of you marries a woman or buys a servant, let him say: ‘Allaahumma inni as’aluka khayraha wa khayra ma jabaltaha ‘alayhi wa a’oodhu bika min sharriha wa min sharri ma jabaltaha ‘alayhi (O Allaah, I ask You for her goodness and the goodness which You have created in her, and I seek refuge with You from her evil and the evil which You have created in her).’” Abu Dawud said that Abu Sa’eed added: “Then let him take hold of her forelock and pray for blessing from this woman or servant.” (Reported by Abu Dawud in al-Sunan, Kitaab al-Nikaah, Baab fi jaami’ al-nikaah; classed as hasan in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 341) He should pray two rak’ahs with her, leading her in prayer, because this is reported as being the practice of the salaf (early generations). There are two reports concerning this. (i) from Abu Sa’eed, the freed slave of Abu Usayd, which states that a group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught him and told him: “When your wife comes in to you, pray two rak’ahs and ask Allaah for the goodness of what has come to you, and seek refuge with Him from its evil.” (ii) from Shaqeeq, who said: “A man called Abu Hareez came and said (to ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood, may Allaah be pleased with him): ‘I have married a young virgin girl, but I am afraid that she may hate me.’ ‘Abdullaah said: ‘Love comes from Allaah and hatred comes from Shaytaan, who wants to make you hate what Allaah has made permissible. When she comes to you, tell her to pray two rak’ahs behind you.’” (These two reports were narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah; see Aadaab al-Zafaaf by al-Albaani). When he wants to consummate the marriage, he should say the words reported in the hadeeth reported by Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said: “When one of you wants to approach (have intercourse with) his wife, if he says: ‘Bismillahi Allaahumma jannibna al-Shaytaan wa jannib al-Shaytaan ma razaqtana (In the name of Allaah, O Allaah, protect us from Shaytaan and protect whatever You give to us from Shaytaan)’ – then if they are given a child, Shaytaan will not harm it.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath, no. 3271) (For more information, see Aadaab al-Zafaaf by al-Albaani, p. 91) There is no limit to the number of guests one can invite to a wedding feast (waleema), so invite whoever you wish of your relatives, the bride’s relatives, your friends and anyone you have a good reason to invite. It is not permitted in Islam to do anything that is haraam such as having music, letting men and women mix, or letting women dance in front of men, or other things that earn the wrath of Allaah. How can the blessing of Allaah be exchanged for disobedience and immorality? At weddings, women can do whatever is allowed in Islam, such as singing acceptable songs with good words or entertaining themselves by playing the daff (a certain kind of drum, resembling a tambourine without the rattles) only, so long as no men are present. Providing the wedding feast (waleema) is the husband’s responsibility. The sunnah is to slaughter one sheep or more for the guests, if he is able to, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf, “Give a wedding feast, even if it is only one sheep.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, no. 2048). We ask Allaah to bless you and your bride and to grant you a happy marriage.

The win gives the 8-1 Tigers their second Top 100 road win of the season. (Photo Credit: onwardstate.com) Charles Klauder is a name probably unfamiliar to most Tiger fans, but his contributions to Tiger lore have been rich, indeed. The Philadelphia native was an early 20th century architect of particular renown for his work on college buildings, including the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh and several of Princeton’s distinctive dining and residence halls. He also designed the sites of the two greatest comebacks in Tiger history: the 50-49 win at the Palestra in 1999 in which the Tigers trailed Penn 33-9 early in the second half, and Saturday’s 81-79 OT shocker at Rec Hall on the Penn State campus. The Nittany Lions have not used Rec Hall for men’s basketball since 1996, but invited the Tigers to join them in a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The memory of this one will live for a very long time. The Tigers floundered early on, failing to convert any of their first eight 3-point attempts, as the Lions, behind mainstays Tim Frazier and DJ Newbill, and the frenzied sea of white-shirted Penn State partisans, raced to a quick and commanding lead. Managing just 2 of 10 from behind the arc, the Tigers trailed 35-23 at the half. The second half did not begin auspiciously for Princeton. The Lions continued to dominate on the glass, outrebounding the Tigers 43-22 for the game, while Frazier and Newbill were lighting it up, each scoring 24 in the game. The lead reached 20 with about ten minutes remaining. Rec Hall was jumping. At the 6:30 mark, the lead was still 18. No one could have anticipated what was about to happen. Seniors TJ Bray and Will Barrett jump-started the Tiger offense, which slowly but inexorably whittled away at the margin. Barrett, historically a deadly 3-point shooter, canned 4 of 4 in the final six minutes, many of them on feeds from Bray, who set a Tiger single-game record with 13 assists, ten of them in the second stanza. Barrett’s last three pointer pulled the Tigers within three, at 64-61, with under 40 seconds to go in regulation. A Lion turnover (one of 20 for the game, to Princeton’s 10), followed by a quick foul sent Bray to the line for two FT’s with 16.5 ticks on the game clock. He made the first, but missed the second. Tiger freshman Spencer Weisz emerged from the ensuing melee with the ball and a path to the basket. He drew a hard foul and cooly sunk both charity tosses to send the game into OT. Princeton had outscored PSU 24-6 in the final 6:34 of regulation. The Tigers completed the improbable comeback in the extra period, getting its first lead in over 36 minutes on its first possession. The lead extended to 5 at 71-66. The Tigers held on to win 81-79. Barrett’s 24 led the Tigers, who were helped by double-figure scoring from five players. Bray’s 11 points, including 9 from the FT line, gave him a double-double. Princeton’s eight three pointers after intermission fueled the Tiger comeback. The win was the first against a Big Ten team since 1985, and the first on a Big Ten opponent’s home floor since 1955! The record now is 8-1, the best since the 1997-98 team went 25-3 overall. On Friday, the Tigers travel to Las Vegas for two games, including the first-ever match-up with the University of the Pacific, which comes in at 7-1. Pacific’s RPI is a gaudy 37, to the Tigers’ 44. The Pomeroy Ratings rank the Tigers at 68, while Pacific is at 93. Should be a good one. Categories Breaking Down...

The plan was announced during the regular evening speeches of protest leaders in their stronghold at Ratchadamnoen road on December 1. It was reported that the demonstrators had faecal suction trucks ready to use against security forces hiding behind concrete barriers and barbed wire “We’ll use a biological weapon to counter police who use tear-gas on us,” Chumpol Jullasai, a core member of the anti-government group, said. The street protests in Bangkok on December 2 were entering their 8th day and are becoming increasingly violent. One anti-government protester has been shot in the leg with a real bullet and not a plastic bullet, anti-government fighters said and presented proof by a photo posted on Facebook. Troops have been deployed to the Thai capital to support 20,000 anti-riot police. Residents have been told to stay at home for their own safety. The death toll in the riots has risen to 4 people, and more than 100 were injured. According to Investvine‘s observations, while public life in Bangkok is going on during the day, there is far less traffic, some government offices, universities and schools are closed, and street restaurants are less frequented and close early in the evening. However, business in the tourism nightspots goes on as usual. Foreigners have been advised to avoid street protest sites by all means. Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban on December 1 at night gave Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra in front of top military leaders an ultimatum of two days “to return power to the people”. This includes the resignation of the prime minister and a House dissolution. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra reiterated that such demands were “unconstitutional”, but also said that the country was not calm enough for early elections. The prime minister hasn’t been seen in the public since 2 days and is staying at an undisclosed location.

"This has been an extraordinary year for our issue of religious freedom," noted Seiple, former U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious liberty. "We've had a great deal of publicity." Seiple's review of some of 2006's most notorious instances of religiously-inspired intolerance and violence evoked nods of recognition among the crowd of 600 World Congress participants. Interspersing his news review with sharp commentary, Seiple described the Danish cartoon controversy ("a terrible abuse of freedom of the press"); the Abdul Rahman death penalty sentence in Afghanistan for converting from Islam to Christianity; conflicts between Shiite and Sunni death squads ("exacting a brutal and terrible price from each other"); the 34-day of war between Hezbollah and Israel in the summer of 2006 ("a senseless war fought among the people of Abraham, the people of the Book"); and Pope Benedict XVI's inclusion of an obscure medieval text in a sermon that provoked a worldwide frenzy. This year has taught the world, Seiple warned, that "there are people who will die for their faith, but unfortunately there are just as many who will kill for their religion. We neglect this issue and the geo-political calculus at our considerable peril." Seiple, who now serves as president of the Council for America's Freedom, praised the World Congress for promoting respect among people in spite of great diversity, but also highlighted the need to promote greater knowledge of each other as well. "It is the lack of knowledge of one another that translates directly into a lack of respect," he urged. "If we don't care to know one another, how can we ever respect one another?" Congress participants were also challenged to go beyond mere toleration of differences. "Toleration is a wimpy word," Seiple asserted. "Toleration is forbearance; it's not equality. I don't have to like you; I only have to tolerate you." If people of faith are to combat religious hatred, the ambassador reminded, they must promote more than freedom to believe. Believers must promote "the ministry of presence" - doing the hard work of being there, "close enough to touch, to understand, and to embrace the people who maybe yesterday were your enemies." Robert Seiple is a longstanding member of the IRLA Board of Experts and also previously served as the president for the Institute for Global Engagement.

In his two and a half decades of carrying the torch, Bragg has melded the folksy populism of Woody Guthrie with the anger and indignation of the Clash, and both are perfectly encapsulated on Mr. Love and Justice. Over the years, Bragg has concerned himself with social justice, but never losing sight of the power of the personal relationships that hold us together and are capable of bringing about the kind of redemption that outstrips even the greatest political movements, sentiments highlighted on opening track “I Keep Faith“. Songs such as “O Freedom” and “Farm Boy” are classic Bragg: mercilessly perceptive, yet hauntingly personal in the manner of their storytelling. On Billy Bragg’s most mature record to date, the title says it all. “Bragg’s the missing link between Woody Guthrie and Joe Strummer, and anyone who’s seen him perform in recent years knows he retains the power to move and inspire. He gives you hope, and it’s a testament to his songs that while the context has shifted—wither Reagan/Thatcher, welcome Bush/Blair (and later Brown)—his music still makes you want to storm the gates.“- Pitchfork “_Mr Love & Justice_ is [Bragg’s] best realised work musically for ages.“- *The Guardian Mr. Love & Justice - LP Please select an option.

Before Scafell Pike summit go back, after the summit, go on. Details of Route Starting from Seathwaite - parking is free - continue straight ahead through the farm. (There is a footpath indicated to the right amongst the farm buildings which leads along a lane to a wooden footbridge. Walkers wishing to view Taylorgill Force at close quarters should cross this bridge and follow the path on the left alongside the River Derwent. This is a picturesque alternative route to Sty Head.) Those following the main route continue straight ahead along the farm road to Stockley Bridge (photo). Taylorgill Force is an impressive sight up to the right (photo). After crossing the bridge you will notice a path on the left alongside the beck. This is the Grains Gill path, the recommended return route. Go straight ahead, through the gate and up the well-trodden path westwards towards Taylorgill Force. This path takes you well to the left of the waterfall but approaches Styhead Gill further upstream. This watercourse is usually easy to cross but there is no great urgency - there is a wooden footbridge further on. As Styhead Tarn is reached we get the first sighting of Lingmell, the first peak on the route (photo). After passing to the right of Styhead Tarn, Sty Head itself is reached. (Note: the word "Sty" derives from the Old Norse stigr meaning "steep path" and has nothing to do with pigs!) Bear left along the well marked path towards Esk Hause. A retrospective view over Styhead Tarn includes Blencathra in the distance (photo). After about 300 yards, by a large cairn in a dip in the Esk Hause path, a well trodden path goes off downhill to the right towards a ravine, Skew Gill. This is the Corridor Route (photo). After crossing Skew Gill the path rises above Stand Crag where the view of Great Gable (photo) can be enjoyed to the full. It bears left above Greta Gill (photo). There is an awkward descent here, down a rock step (photo), which would appear much simpler were it not above a steep drop into Greta Gill. This may provoke a sharp burst of adrenaline but is perfectly safe if taken with care. The path continues around the head of the ravine (photo) and in a gradually upward direction below Round How where it crosses the southern branch of Greta Gill (photo). Further on, where the path branches, take the one to the right (the left hand branch leads to Broad Crag col) past a tiny tarn (photo) towards Lingmell Col (photo) which takes you circling the head of the spectacular rift of Piers Gill (photo). From here follow the wall up to Lingmell Col. The route up to Lingmell itself is clear, short and sweet, with breath-taking views on the right down Lingmell Crag to Piers Gill, now way below. It is well worth continuing further to a subsidiary summit where views of Mosedale are less restricted (photo). Return to Lingmell Col and bear slightly to the right where the well-trodden path up from Hollow Stones can be found, and followed up onto Scafell Pike. From the summit, views of the Lakeland horizon cannot be bettered (360° panorama), this is after all the highest point in England. From here, on a clear day, the Isle of Man can be seen on the western horizon, jutting high out of the Irish Sea. It's as well to remember that its highest point, Snaefell, is over 2000 feet high. Scafell Pike is invariably busy and if you want some peace and quiet, wander over the boulders to the south peak, and contemplate the relative peace of Eskdale, way down below (photo) and ponder the routes to Scafell (photo) for another day. Head northeast from the summit to find the well-marked route down to Broad Crag col. Where there is a choice of ways down the slope the going is usually easier on the left. Continue up towards Broad Crag finding your own way over the boulders. There is no definitive path. Here, and for the next half mile, progress is made by stepping from boulder to boulder like branching sets of stepping stones. The main route goes to the right of Broad Crag, and to the left of Ill Crag. The dedicated Lakeland walker will visit these summits once in a lifetime but the exertion seems out of proportion to the gains. After the descent from Ill Crag on the Esk Hause path, another path goes off to the left over a grassy slope towards Great End. Climb to the summit - the screes and crags of Great Gable are a fine sight, as is Wasdale Head and its surrounding peaks (photo) and a good northern panorama (photo). On clear days, as from Scafell Pike, the Isle of Man is visible from here (photo) beyond Lingmell and Sellafield. Visit the top of the northwest face for a view down the gullies that split the cliff (photo) and the southeastern summit for a good view southeast (photo). Return to the Scafell path where you left it and walk down towards Esk Hause. Before you reach the true Esk Hause, ie the head of Eskdale, the ground to the left becomes less boulder-strewn and more grassy. Make your way across this to find a clear and well-marked path, originating at the hause, which heads down towards Sprinkling Tarn. This gradually approaches the path from Angle Tarn. About 300 yards after these paths meet, and before reaching Sprinkling Tarn there is a path to the right dropping down into a gully, crossing Ruddy Gill, and then going up the other side. Follow this and you will soon find yourself walking above the steep ravine cut by Ruddy Gill (photo), which has made a right turn. This is exhilarating stuff, being close to, but not actually in, danger. Beyond the ravine the way is now clear all the way back to Seathwaite. A footridge crosses Ruddy Beck before it joins Grains Gill which latter the path approaches but does not reach until Stockley Bridge. There are fine views all the way down the valley (photo) which is a good excuse to linger on the way down this easy, gradual descent. Walkers seeking the easiest way to climb the highest mountain in England need look no further that this, discarding the ascents of Lingmell and Great End on the way.

__label__wiki	0.540928	0.540928	27th to 30th August – Black-headed Bunting reappears! A very noticeable clear-out of migrants from the day before, which gave the island a rather quiet feel. Despite this there were still some great birds present on the island, including the first Merlin and Common Redstart of the autumn. Other sightings of note on this lovely yet breezy day include: a Teal, 2 southbound Cormorant, the Grey Heron, a Kestrel, just 5 Willow Warbler, 3 Chiffchaff, singles of Sedge Warbler and Blackcap, 2 Garden Warbler, 3 Goldcrest, 4 fly-over Tree Pipit, just 1 Pied Flycatcher, 3 Spotted Flycatcher, a single Grey Wagtail, 2 Pied Wagtails (plus 5 fly-over alba types), 184 Meadow Pipit, 2 Chaffinch, 15 Goldfinch and 28 Linnet. A reasonably settled and dry evening allowed for another Storm Petrel ringing session on the North End too. Here the team managed to catch a total of 39 petrels, 15 of which were either a re-traps or controls. A driech aul day with thick mist and downpours for much of the morning up until 14:00 at least. Sightings of note include the Grey Heron, 7 Woodpigeon, a fly-over Ringed Plover, 2 Willow Warbler, singles of Blackcap, Whitethroat, Pied Flycatcher and Spotted Flycatcher, 2 Goldcrest, a single Pied Wagtail, a fly-over Tree Pipit, 65 Meadow Pipits, 2 Chaffinch, 23 Goldfinch and 120 Linnet. A very windy day throughout, though a pleasantly warm dry day. Birds of note include a Ringed Plover over the church in the afternoon, a Water Rail calling outside Paradise Row, single Swift, 2 Sand Martin, a House Martin, 7 Spotted Flycatcher, 7 Willow Warbler, 2 Chiffchaff, 3 Blackcap and a single Goldcrest. With the winds picking up again overnight, all attention in the morning was focused out at sea. Here a super 2,538 Manx Shearwater were recorded passing Rat Island within 2 hours of observations, along with small numbers of Gannet (63), Razorbill (2), Guillemot (1) and Fulmar (2). The highlight from the morning sea-watch however came in the form of a stunning Sooty Shearwater which passed Rat Island within a flock of Manx at 08:21. The undisputed bird of the day though had to be the reappearance of the male Black-headed Bunting, this time feeding along the track bordering Brick and Tillage Fields. Found at around 13:35, the bird stuck around for a least an hour and a half, allowing some superb close-up views before disappearing into Tillage Field and out of sight. Other sightings of note include a fly-over Ringed Plover, the Grey Heron again munching on diving beetles in Quarter Wall Pond, a single male Blackcap, 4 Willow Warbler, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Whitethroat, 3 Goldcrest and a lone Stonechat on the Terrace. The Black-headed Bunting reappeared close to Brick & Tillage Fields, 30 Aug © Dean Jones Report composed of observations from Zoë Barton, Dean Jones, Patrick Keith, Rebecca Taylor, Richard Taylor and Tony Taylor. 26th August – Black-headed Bunting headlines another superb day of migration Lundy Warden Dean Woodfin Jones sums up a truly spectacular day of early-autumn birding: Another beautiful summer’s day with next to no wind in the morning, cloudless skies, pleasant temperatures and a fantastic number and diversity of common migrants, mixed in with some truly magnificent rarities. The day started off well with a very busy morning manning mist-nets, as a superb movement of Willow Warblers made their way through the Valley from about 06:30 to 10:00. Here an estimated 250 birds were thought to have been dotted across the island throughout the day; they were literally everywhere you looked! Within this flurry of Willow Warbler, the Icterine Warbler that has been on the island since the 23rd finally ended up in the shelf of a mist-net in Millcombe Valley in the early morning – the 19th Icterine Warbler to be ringed on the island. Icterine Warbler, Millcombe, 26 August © Dean Jones Then, post late-breakfast, I was making my way to pick up and empty the moth trap when I noticed an odd bird perched upon the roof of Paradise Row at around 11:45... As soon as I put my binoculars up, my eyes were graced with a superb male Black-headed Bunting!! This then led to a very quick and panicked rush home to grab my camera (luckily I only live two doors down from where the bird was perched), and managed to fire off a few quick record shots before the bird disappeared off the roof and down towards the allotments outside Paradise Row. Fortunately, Zoë Barton and I were able to relocate the bird perched on one the end of a raised bed full of Red Onions where it allowed for some smashing close up views before flying off to a nearby dry-stone wall to get a bit of shut eye – obviously knackered from its long journey. Whilst the bird was resting I managed to herd most of the birders on the island up to the allotments where they all managed some decent but somewhat brief views of the bird before it disappeared down towards Millcombe at around 13:00. By this time the bird was looking much more alert and well rested so fingers crossed he’ll manage to find his way to his wintering grounds in western/central India. This is the fourth record of this stunning bunting for Lundy, with the last bird being seen 22 years ago on the 15th July 1997. A very exciting bird to top off what was a truly superb day of Lundy birding! The male Black-headed Bunting perched on the roof of Paradise Row, 26 August © Dean Jones The bird stayed in the same general area for over an hour, enabling others to see it © Grant Sherman The bunting spent time foraging in the allotments outside Paradise Row © Dean Jones But that wasn’t all... Later on in the afternoon Nicola Saunders (a previous Lundy Warden) managed to find another Wryneck in Jenny’s Cove and between all the birders on the island we managed to find the first Whinchat (a total of six birds in various locations), Collared Dove (one ‘singing’ in Millcombe), Grey Wagtail (a single fly-over) and White Wagtails (five in Tent Field) of the autumn. It was also a great day for wader passage with singles of fly-over Golden Plover, Ringed Plover and Whimbrel, 9 fly-over Curlew (a flock of 7 over the Old Light in the morning followed by another 2), at least two fly-over Greenshank, a Redshank calling from the Landing Bay and a fly-over Black-tailed Godwit. Other observations of note includes: 9 Mallard, a lone Grey Heron, 3 southbound Cormorant, 2 Sparrowhawk, a Guillemot in the Landing Bay, 11 Sand Martin, 40 Swallow, 4 Chiffchaff, 7 Sedge Warbler, 1 Reed Warbler trapped and ringed in Millcombe, 8 Blackcap, 1 Garden Warbler, 14 Whitethroat, 4 Goldcrest, 12 Spotted Flycatcher, 70 Wheatear, 10 Pied Flycatcher, 5 Pied Wagtails and 2 Tree Pipit. Report composed of observations from Zoë Barton, Dean Jones, Patrick Keith, Nicola Saunders, Rebecca Taylor, Richard Taylor, Tony Taylor and Martin Thorne. 24th & 25th August – A feast of migrants, common and not-so-common... A very warm and sunny day throughout with a stiff SE wind belting in during the morning and afternoon which switched westerly by the evening. Migration has continued to pick up with the first fly-over Yellow Wagtail of the autumn, 5 fly-over Cormorant, 2 Tree Pipit in Millcombe, an increase to 55 Meadow Pipit along the East Side and South End, 2 Swift, 23 Swallow, 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Blackcap, 5 Goldcrest, 3 Spotted Flycatcher and 4 Pied Flycatcher – including one inside the office perched on the rafters! Visiting ringers ringed two Manx Shearwater chicks from the nestboxes installed at the Old Light colony, and caught an interesting Goldfinch, which was in moult and so probably had summered on Lundy, but had been ringed elsewhere (details to follow later). One of the Pied Flycatchers, near the top of the 'Steps of Doom', 24 August © Dean Jones A spectacular day of beautiful calm weather, species diversity and Lundy rarities. Highlights included the re-appearance of the Icterine Warbler (last seen on 23rd August) in various parts of Millcombe between 07:00 and 13:20. Additionally, whilst ringing passerines in lower Millcombe, Richard Taylor found a very showy Common Nightingale at the top of Smelly Gully in the late morning, a bird which provided some beautifully clear and prolonged views as it flitted up from the gully to forage on the ground near Millcombe Pond. Then, whilst waiting for the Nightingale to reveal itself again for another view, a Wryneck (perhaps the same bird seen on the 23rd), flew out from Smelly Gully and up to the rocks just behind the Walled Gardens where it hopped around for five minutes or so before disappearing back into the gully. Three super Lundy birds in the span of a few hours! The unusually showy Nightingale in Millcombe, 25 August © Dean Jones The Wryneck, competing with the Nightingale for the Warden's attention, Millcombe, 25 August © Dean Jones Other birds of note included the first Reed Warbler and Garden Warbler of the autumn, a female Teal on Brick Field Pond, 7 Grey Heron (including a flock of six birds and a lone bird in Brick Field), 6 fly-by Cormorant, a fly-over Ringed Plover, a flock of 12 Curlew, a lone Whimbrel calling from the Landing Bay, a Dunlin, 1 Swift, 1 Sand Martin, 60 Swallow, 1 House Martin, a nice arrival of 31 Willow Warbler, 6 Chiffchaff, a single Sedge Warbler, 3 Blackcap, 3 Whitethroat, 7 Goldcrest, 5 Spotted Flycatcher, a lone Stonechat, 11 Pied Flycatcher, a fly-over Yellow Wagtail, 8 Pied Wagtails (as well as 15 unraced flyover alba types) and 4 Tree Pipit. Juvenile Grey Heron, Brick Field, one of seven recorded on 25 August © Dean Jones Report composed of observations from Dean Jones, Patrick Keith, Rebecca Taylor, Richard Taylor, Tony Taylor and Martin Thorne. Stop press... As users of Twitter and BirdGuides etc. may already be aware, Lundy's Bank Holiday Purple Patch continued on Monday 26th with the trapping of the Icterine Warbler and the sighting of a male Black-headed Bunting on the roof of Paradise Row! Full details to follow in the next blog update! At the time of posting, there had been no further sightings of the bunting since around 13.00hrs on Monday, when it flew towards Millcombe. 21st to 23rd August – Icterine Warbler & Wryneck seen, Storm Petrels ringed – updated August 21st & 22nd The stiff westerly winds raged on! Not much to report from either date, other than a small scattering of Willow Warbler, Blackcap and Goldcrest from the Millcombe area, a fly-by Storm Petrel seen from MS Oldenburg on the 22nd (about 30 minutes from Lundy) and an admirable catch of 26 Manx Shearwater on the evening of the 22nd (22 chicks ringed, and 4 adult re-trapped). August 23rd The burly westerlies and periodic showers finally gave way to a slight easterly breeze and some beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures. This much-awaited change in conditions allowed for some great visible migration throughout the day, which included an increase in passage Swallow (66), the first Pied Flycatcher of the autumn (5 in Millcombe and along the Terrace) and two magnificent Devon rarities. One of five Pied Flycatchers present in Millcombe and along the Terrace on 23 August © Dean Jones The first of these star birds came in the form of an Icterine Warbler, which was seen at around 13:30 foraging within and upon the scrub at the top of Millcombe, bordering St Helen's/Barton Field. From here, the bird allowed for some smashing but brief views before disappearing for most of the afternoon. Then, at around 17:00, it was relocated slightly south of its original location, flitting through the willows just below Government House. The Icterine Warbler in the willow plantation just below Government House on 23 August © Dean Jones Shortly after the initial sighting of the Icterine Warbler, news arrived of a Wryneck just outside Bramble Villas, where it was watched foraging for a meal for 10 minutes or so at around 14.40 before flying up into Millcombe Wood and out of sight. Other birds of note on this exciting day included: the long-staying Grey Heron, a Water Rail outside Paradise Row, a fly-over Golden Plover, a Whimbrel calling from the Landing Bay, 3 Swift, lone Sand Martin and House Martin, 3 Blackcap, 4 Whitethroat, 5 Willow Warbler, 5 Goldcrest and 8 Chaffinch. The perfect evening conditions also allowed for a Storm Petrel ringing session at North End. Here, 30 new birds were caught and ringed as well as 9 retrapped or controlled birds* – a superb end to a fantastic day of birds! Finally, the first Migrant Hawker dragonfly of the autumn was seen quartering around Millcombe in the beautiful afternoon sunshine. Tony Taylor adds that seven of the nine Storm Petrels that were already wearing rings had been ringed on Lundy in 2017 and 2018. The other two birds were controls (i.e. they had been ringed elsewhere); details to be confirmed in due course. 15th to 20th August – First Fulmar fledges but migration remains sluggish Dean Woodfin Jones (Lundy Warden), looks back on an often wet and windy few days, 15th to 20th August: The burly westerlies and showers have continued for the majority of this period with the exception of a beautiful calm and dry morning on the 20th. Unsurprisingly in these conditions it has been very quiet up on the island's plateau, with many birds seeking shelter out of sight in the undergrowth, dry-stone walls and along the East Sidelands. The highlight of the period came in the form of an adult winter Mediterranean Gull, which flew west past the North Lighthouse at around 13:00 on the 18th. Other than this Lundy rarity, the rest of the afternoon’s seawatch, post Grey Seal survey, was rather quiet with only a handful of passing Gannet, Manx Shearwater, Fulmar and Kittiwake along with three Harbour Porpoise foraging between the Hen and Chickens. Other sightings of note include the first fledging Fulmar on the 17th from Gannets' Rock (though there are still a number of big fluffy chicks on ledges), a female Teal on Brick Field Pond on the 15th, a Ringed Plover over the South End on the 19th, the young Grey Heron again at Pondsbury on the 15th, 15 Swallow and 3 Sand Martin on the 18th, the first two Goldcrest of the autumn on the 15th, two Spotted Flycatcher looking for breakfast in the Secret Garden sycamore on the 20th and up to two Stonechat along the East Sidelands on a number of days. Spotted Flycatcher in the morning light, Secret Garden, lower Millcombe, 20 August © Dean Jones Finally, we've also had the continued presence each day of small numbers of Blackcap (peak 4 on the 20th), Whitethroat (peak 3 on the 18th), Willow Warbler (peak 8 on the 18th) and Chiffchaff (2 on the 20th). 11th to 14th August – A trickle of migrants amidst continuing unsettled conditions Herewith the latest update from Lundy Warden Dean Woodfin Jones, covering the period 11th to 14th August. The unsettled weather theme has continued with rain, mist and strong winds dominating. There was, however, some lovely settled weather on the 12th which allowed for a small movement of birds and a chance to get the mist-nets up in Millcombe. Birds of note included: the young Grey Heron that has continued to stay on the island, dining on Mirror Carp and Golden Orfe in Rocket Pole and Quarry Ponds. A Ringed Plover flew over the South End on the 11th, there was a lone Dunlin next to Brick Field Pond on the 14th, a juvenile Cuckoo in Millcombe on the 11th and small numbers of Whitethroat (peak 2 on the 11th), Willow Warbler (peak 8 on the 12th), Blackcap (2 on the 13th), Sedge Warbler (4 on the 12th), Swallow (6 on the 13th) and a Tree Pipit over Millcombe on the 13th. Dunlin, Brick Field Pond, 14 August © Dean Jones Whitethroat mist-netted in Millcombe, 12 August © Dean Jones Other than these, an adult Chiffchaff was seen feeding some very young fledglings in Smelly Gully on the 11th, possibly a second brood. The second generation of Small Heath butterflies have started to appear around the island despite the breezy wet weather. 7th to 10th August – Unseasonable wind and rain... Warden Dean Woodfin Jones reports on a period that began quietly enough, but which later saw the island battered by some distinctly un-summery weather. August 7th: A rather pleasant but very quiet day bird wise. The only birds of note included a small morning arrival of Willow Warbler (12) and Sedge Warbler (4) in Millcombe. August 8th: A beautiful sunny day for the most part, coupled with light winds from the south (the calm before the storm...). Birds of note included a Curlew which flew in from the sea next to The Battery, a Water Rail calling from Quarters in the early morning, 4 Swallow, 6 Willow Warbler, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Sedge Warbler and 2 Blackcap. August 9th: The wild weather started! Sea-watching from the Castle Parade and North End throughout the day resulted in 761 Manx Shearwater, 161 Gannet, 16 Fulmar and 3 Guillemot along with small numbers of assorted of gulls. Although I didn’t managed to see any unusual Procellariforms or skuas there were a few nice shorebirds battling through the strong oncoming winds, among them 8 Curlew (including a flock of 7 birds) flying south, low to the water past Rat Island. Shortly after, a lone Dunlin shadowing a Black-tailed Godwit (a Lundy rarity) flew south also and 2 Ringed Plover dropped onto the North End briefly in the afternoon. Other sightings of note included a juvenile Grey Heron, 3 Willow Warbler, 4 Common Dolphin, 4 Harbour Porpoise and a Sunfish off the North End. August 10th: A very wild and windy day with the occasional squall and heavy downpour (particularly in the morning). A morning’s sea-watch from the Ugly revealed some good Manx Shearwater (2,991) and Gannet (227) passage. Other birds of note included a Ringed Plover calling over the SE Point, 2 juvenile Turnstone hiding from the wind in the short heather at the North End, a Redshank next to Rocket Pole Pond in the evening, the juvenile Grey Heron at Quarry Pond, 10 Swallow, 1 Willow Warbler, 2 Stonechat and a total of 4 Harbour Porpoise (a mother and Calf in the Southern Races and 2 at the North End, one of which was fully breaching from the colossal swell). Juvenile Turnstone in unusual habitat at North End, 10 Aug © Dean Jones The turbulent seas off North Light on 10 Aug – no surprise that Oldenburg was cancelled... © Dean Jones 31st July to 6th August – Invertebrates and marine life to the fore, but some birds too! Lundy Warden Dean Woodfin Jones's latest update from the island covers the period 31st Jul to 6th August: A somewhat quiet week for passage birds but very exciting with regards to a number of the island's non-avian inhabitants and visitors from afar... On the bird front, Willow Warblers are still trickling through in small numbers most days, though the island was blessed once again with another small fall of birds (71) on August 1st. Linnet numbers are also continuing to grow with 122 birds around the island on the 4th (which included a flock of 49 birds at Halfway Wall). The island has also seen some good Shag numbers dotted around the coast this week, with 172 recorded on the 4th. Other birds of note include a Grey Heron over the South East point on the 2nd, two adult Cuckoo on the 31st, the first southbound Tree Pipit of the year (1st), another Spotted Flycatcher on the Terrace on the 1st, a Sedge Warbler in Millcombe on the 1st, two young Kestrel together over Pondsbury on the 4th, as well as small numbers of Swallow (max 17 on the 2nd), singles of Blackcap, and up to five Pied Wagtail, four Stonechat and three Whitethroat each day. There has also been a very noisy and often conspicuous Water Rail lurking in the long grass outside Paradise Row on a number of dates within this period. Non-avian highlights: Like elsewhere in the UK, Lundy saw a superb arrival of Painted Ladies come August 1st, with 284 recorded on this beautiful summer's day (most certainly a gross underestimate as there was a constant stream of these magnificent invertebrates coming off the sea for most of the day), 601 on the 2nd, 172 on the 3rd and 171 on the 4th. Between the gatherings of Painted Ladies, Caitlin Worsey also managed to find a Clouded Yellow on her butterfly transect on August 1st, as well as increases in some of the island's other Lepidoptera species, including Red Admiral (max 32 on the 1st), Common Blue (4 on the 4th), Small Copper (7 on the 4th), Silver Y (29 on the 2nd), as well as a smattering of Peacock, Small Tortoiseshell, Large White and Hummingbird Hawkmoths. The evening of August 2nd also saw a mass emergence of flying ants on the island, particularly along the south coast, Upper East Side Path and the North Lighthouse. Swarms of these spectacular winged beasties were seen swathing vegetation and granite boulders on the day as well as forming thick ant clouds in the air in parts. As always the birds were very happy with this mass emergence of food meaning visitors to the island were treated to some amazing views of House Sparrow, Starling, and Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gull “hawking” mouthfuls of ants whilst on the wing. A truly spectacular sight but difficult to converse about at the time without getting a mouthful of critters myself. Flying ants emerged en masse on 2nd Aug, seen here along the Upper East Side Path © Dean Jones An evening’s sea-watching on a beautifully still day at the North End revealed some decent-sized rafts of roosting and preening Manx Shearwater (c.3,000) offshore on the 2nd.

We can talk about the film later :D First up is a screenshot from the Greek version on the Astro label (No h/c in this version) (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/lovelockandload/Greek.jpg) Raro DVD (h/c inserts on this edition presented as extras, not included in the main feature) (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/lovelockandload/Raro.jpg) X-Rated DVD (Fully uncut including h/c but no English options) (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/lovelockandload/XRated-1.jpg) Title: Re: The Teenage Prostitution Racket/Storie di vita e malavita (Carlo Lizzani, 19 Post by: vigilanteforce on 06 Aug 2007 - 22:20 The German version looks like a winner! I am now expecting my copy from Kult Video! English options would have made it perfect but I will be still happy to have it. Quote from: vigilanteforce on 06 Aug 2007 - 22:20 The German DVD does seem to have a slightly better image quality plus it's fully uncut and doesn't have the burnt in Greek subtitles, there's an uncut Greek VHS with the h/c footage intact I believe (I think Marc has it) but even that version will still have the burnt in Greek subs... Looks like the German X-Rated DVD is the best edition so far. Title: Re: The Teenage Prostitution Racket/Storie di vita e malavita (Carlo Lizzani, 1975) Post by: MarcMorris on 07 Aug 2007 - 10:27 Jonny, have you done a side-by-side comparison of the new German DVD to any other editions? Is it definitey uncut? The longer Greek tape with hardcore runs for 115m 33s. A fully uncut version should run for 123m 27s. I'll give it a check in a minute... The German X-Rated DVD runs for 122 mins 21 seconds OK, will get it checked out - seems it's still missing something. Another composite DVD edit sounds on the cards. Post by: MarcMorris on 25 Sep 2007 - 15:11 Does anybody have any of the UK video releases? There some English dialogue mising from some versions which may be present in the old UK pre-cert.

Title: Re: Teenage Prostitution Racket / Storie di vita e malavita (Carlo Lizzani, 1975 Post by: MarcMorris on 21 Nov 2008 - 09:28 I've completed my fan edit and English dub, but I need to plug a few holes which are missing English dialogue. Can anybody help with copies of any other English video variants / versions? Anything I can't find English the English dub track for will be in Italian with English subtitles. ps - also looking for a trailer for this. Post by: Mark (UK) on 18 Dec 2008 - 21:28 I see that Kult Video has two X-Rated versions listed. One running 122 min & this one (http://www.kultvideo.com/scheda.asp?item=18301&type=DVD) running 125 min. Is this just likely to be an error? Title: Re: Teenage Prostitution Racket / Storie di vita e malavita (Carlo Lizzani, 1975) Post by: ecc on 19 Dec 2008 - 02:03 Any other caps? From that title cap, the German version looks brighter but at the expense of detail. Post by: MarcMorris on 20 Dec 2008 - 13:43 Here's a comparison I worked from.

Post by: vigilanteforce on 20 Dec 2008 - 14:24 Quote from: MarcMorris on 21 Nov 2008 - 09:28 I've completed my fan edit and English dub Severin needs to release that :-X Quote from: Mark (UK) on 18 Dec 2008 - 21:28 I see that Kult Video has two X-Rated versions listed. One running 122 min & this one ([url]http://www.kultvideo.com/scheda.asp?item=18301&type=DVD[/url]) running 125 min. Is this just likely to be an error? Does anyone know if this is indeed a longer version? Seems strange that there are 2 X-Rated versions on the site. I haven't seen the film before, how difficult would it be to follow without an English option? Cheers. :) Post by: Jonny on 23 Dec 2008 - 13:07 No idea, I bought the previous X-Rated release and I'm a bit hesitant to stump up the cash for the other release without knowing for sure what the actual runing time is. Might be worth asking Mario at Kult Video if he'll check the runing time for us. There's quite a bit of important dialogue to follow in the film so watching it without being able to understand what's being said wouldn't be recommended imho. Quote from: Jonny on 23 Dec 2008 - 13:07 Thanks for that Jonny. I was going to give it a go (I've used Kult once before for a load of Polizieschi thanks to your recommendation over at Maniacs & they were brilliant), but think I'll hang in the hope of an English friendly release. Patience is a virtue. :-\ Post by: gnorthcott on 03 Jul 2011 - 18:26 I just puchased a set of lobby cards for what i thought was this film,the title on the lobby cards is 'prostitution racket',but since checking the bbfc it says the film was rejected.so.....did they make the lobby cards first or are these for a different film??? Post by: Kevin Coed on 03 Jul 2011 - 19:27 Got any pics? Just the ebay pic,have not recieved them yet,the seller wasnt much help either,if they are not for this film then it dont matter as i only paid £2 for them anyway (http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5571/kgrhqqokjoe3uwecdntbob1.jpg) Post by: Stephen Grimes on 04 Jul 2011 - 22:55 Quote from: gnorthcott on 03 Jul 2011 - 20:48 ([url]http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5571/kgrhqqokjoe3uwecdntbob1.jpg[/url]) Well it's definitely Lizzani's film,here's the scene with Lidia Di Corato which is featured on the lobbycard you uploaded. (http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/2981/vlcsnap2011070423h38m36.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/121/vlcsnap2011070423h38m36.png/) Well thats what i thought but i got confused as after i won them i checked the bbfc and it said the work was rejected,so im assuming they must have made the advertising materials before the decision came back from the bbfc.Has anybody seen any other uk movie paper/cards for the film as im guessing these were a really lucky find.Hell i only got them for £2 According to the BBFC it was rejected on 15/09/1976 (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/AFF060314/); however, there is an earlier submission on 04/08/1976 (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/AFF018533/) that was passed X with cuts. Incorrectly entered when they built up the database perhaps? Post by: Jonny on 05 Jul 2011 - 15:29 http://www.bbfc.co.uk/AFF018533/ - BBFC 'PROSTITUTION RACKET' It got passed in 1976 with cuts mate, Eagle Films was the distro and I reckon you can see the 'E' in Eagle Films just before the title on that lobby. Maybe the BBFC have their dates wrong and Eagle first submitted an uncut version... http://www.bbfc.co.uk/AFF060314/ - BBFC 'THE PROSTITUTION RACKET' And when that got rejected they re-submitted it with cuts and took THE out of the title? EDIT: Damn you to hell COED!!!! :-\ I'm so happy right now, it's stupid. >:( cheers guys,i thought it would be strange for there to be advertising materials for a film that had not been released.still a cool buy though for what i paid. Deffo, great score. Look forward to seeing proper pics when they arrive! Quote from: Jonny on 05 Jul 2011 - 16:29 Yep, a cracking find. Especially at that price. :P where would be the best place to put pics when they arrive,in the gallery or this thread,or is there a thread somewhere for poster purchases.Iv got my hands on quite a few cool quads and lobby sets lately but dont know wheres the best place to put them on the forum Do both mate, gallery & thread! :P Post by: lordretsudo on 07 Jul 2011 - 16:06 For anyone who's interested in seeing this: a while ago, I made a fan DVD in which I added English audio from a VHS release and also provided subtitles for all the bits that were cut from the English language release. It took me ages to do, and is still available on Cinematik and CG. I used the Raro Video release, so the hardcore inserts are included as extras, and are not in the main film. A weird film - how on Earth did they get Morricone involved with this?! Quote from: lordretsudo on 07 Jul 2011 - 16:06 Cool, Marc did a full length composite version using the slightly better quality German DVD as the source which has the h/c scenes intact. Using the three versions mentioned in this post (http://www.lovelockandload.net/forum/index.php?topic=458.msg41474#msg41474) he then added all the scenes that were missing from the German DVD and added subtitles for the parts with no English audio. Runs for 2hr 8m 2secs. Marc's fan disc also has the short documentary from the Raro DVD subtitled into English plus some deleted scenes. Which reminds me, have you still got my German DVD of this Marc? :-\ wow,marcs dvd sounds awesome,did he make it available for trade or was it more just for his personal use? Post by: quidtum on 20 Aug 2011 - 12:35 how on Earth did they get Morricone involved with this?! It's very likely the Italian maestro never watched those hardcore scenes, which are usually shot apart from the very making of a movie, usually lensed in a different way and then inserted in a producer's cut for foreign markets only (especially France). I watched a great documentary of the 90s about Morricone some months ago, broadcasted by the old Tele+ Italian TV, and the maestro told that he uses to watch a seemingly final cut of the movie and he makes some notes on a book by his own shorthand method during the screening, then he comes back home and he starts to write the music on the staff without trying to play the music on a piano. Post by: paperbag on 21 Aug 2011 - 07:16 Morricone probably knew Carlo Lizzani well, as he composed 2 of his films before this. Marc did a full length composite version using the slightly better quality German DVD as the source which has the h/c scenes intact. I watched a copy of the composite this afternoon and was very impressed.Nice job,Marc. :P Post by: quidtum on 14 Sep 2011 - 14:54 Quote from: paperbag on 21 Aug 2011 - 07:16 We're not discussing about the acquaintance between Morricone and Lizzani here, which is quite obvious, but about the fact the Italian soundtrack maestro had watched or not the hardcore version of the movie. If one can hear the soundtrack missing from that mentioned composite fan made version, maybe my above lines can make some sense.

Post by: Jonny on 06 Jun 2017 - 05:44 I'd be interested to know what version the blu is too before buying it! Anyone have it? Post by: Mark (UK) on 10 Jan 2018 - 11:08 One of my Raro blu's finally turned up (no idea why they didn't send both, anyhoo...), it is English language & runs 1 hr 55 mins 01 sec. There are 10 min 42 secs of time coded deleted scenes (inc hardcore stuff) as bonus material. Unfortunately my laptop drive won't recognise it so no screen shots.

Permission is granted to download for personal use only; not for distribution or commercial use. The singing-school is, of course, a regular institution in our village during the winter months, but the one of special interest is held on Christmas Eve. That is called, to distinguish it from the others, �The Christmas Sing.� On that night only the psalms and fugues appropriate to the occasion are sung, and the town hall is trimmed with holly and evergreen. The Sing begins at eight o'clock and is always preceded by a turkey supper. The supper is in the tavern, as it used to be called � now we say �hotel� � still it is the tavern, and always will be the same old house where the stages drew up before the railroad was built. The turkey supper is at six o'clock, and full two hours are required to dispose of the good things and speechify, then the people cross the road to the town hall, where the Sing is held. It is a great occasion in our village, and the women give as much care to their costumes as if they were going to a ball. The dressmaker is hard worked for weeks before the Sing. Everybody who can afford it has a new dress, and those who cannot, have their old ones made over. The women all try to keep their costumes secret until the night of the Sing, and the dressmaker is bound over by the most solemn promises not to reveal anything. The Christmas Sing is often most brilliant and surprising to our humble tastes in the matter of dress, and was especially so last year. The Sing of last year was also noteworthy in another respect: there were three betrothals and a runaway marriage that night. It was ideal weather for Christmas Eve and our Sing: very cold and clear, a full moon, and a beautiful, hard level of snow for sleighing. At six o'clock everybody was assembled at the tavern: past and present members of the singing-school � even old man Veazie, who is over ninety � were there. There were also some guests � fine singers � from out of town. The turkey supper was excellent, and so were the speeches. One of the best was made by Mr. Cassius C. Dowell from East Langham, a village about eight miles from ours. He is a very fine tenor singer and quite a celebrity. He sings in the church choir in Langham, and is in great demand to sing at funerals. He is not very young, but fine looking and a great favorite with the ladies. He has a gentle, deferential way of looking at them which is considered very attractive. Lottie Green sat next him at the supper-table, and he looked at her, and made sure that she had plenty of white meat and gravy. Mr. Lucius Downey was on the other side of Lottie, but she paid no attention to him. Had it not been for Lurinda Snell, who was next on his right, he might have felt slighted. She looked very well, too, in a fine new silk dress, plum color with velvet trimming. Lurinda was quite pretty in her youth, and sometimes dress and excitement seem to revive something of her old beauty. Her cheeks were pink and her eyes bright; her hair, which is still abundant, was most beautifully crimped. Lottie Green, also, looked very pretty. She had not been able to afford a new dress, but she had made over her old blue cloth one and put in silk sleeves, and it was as good and quite as pretty as when it was new. Probably Maria Rice had the finest new dress of any of the girls. Everybody stared at Maria when she entered with a great rustle of silk and rattle of starched petticoats. The dress was of pink silk, and � a most startling innovation in our village � the waist was cut square and quite low. Maria has a beautiful neck, and she wore a great bunch of pink roses on one shoulder. She had elbow sleeves, too, and drew off her long gloves with a very fine air when she sat down to table. The other girls were half admiring, half scandalized. No such costume as that had ever been worn to our singing-school before. Poor Zepheretta Stockwell, in a black silk which might have been worn appropriately by her grandmother, was entirely eclipsed by Maria in more senses than one. Jim Paine sat between the two girls at supper. Maria's pink skirts spread over his knee, her pretty face was tilted up in his and her tongue was wagging every minute. Once I saw Jim try to speak to Zepheretta, but Maria was too quick for him. When supper was over the people all assembled in the town hall without delay. The hall was finely decorated � green wreaths hung in all the windows, and the portrait of the gentleman who gave the town house to the village fifty years ago, 'Squire Ebenezer Adams, was draped with an American flag. It is a life-size portrait, and hangs on the right of the stage. Our old singing-master and choir-leader, Mr. Orlando Sage, stood on the stage, and conducted the school, as usual. The piano was on his right. The south district teacher, Miss Elmira Crane, played that. There was old Mr. Joseph Nelson, with his bass viol, which he used to play in the church choir, and Thomas Farr and Charlie Morse, with their violins. The school was arranged in the usual manner, in the four divisions of sopranos, tenors, basses and altos. At eight o'clock Mr. Sage raised his baton, and the music began. Everybody stood up, and sang their best and loudest, with, perhaps, one exception. The result was quite magnificent, unless you happened to stand close to certain singers, and did not sing loud enough yourself to drown them out. We went on with the fine old fugues, and it was grand, had it not been for the weakness in the sopranos. At length, Mr. Orlando Sage stood directly in front of the sopranos, waving his baton frantically, raising himself up on his toes, and jerking his head, as if in such ways he would stimulate them to greater volume of voice. Mr. Sage is a nervous little man. Finally, with an imperious switch of his baton, and a stamp of his foot, he brought the whole school to a dead stop. �Miss Stockwell,� he said, �why don't you sing?� Everybody stared at Zepheretta. She turned white, then red, and replied meekly that she was singing. �No, you are not singing,� returned Mr. Sage, �I was riding past your father's yesterday, and I heard you singing. You have a voice. Why don't you sing?� Mr. Sage brandished his baton, as if he would like to hit her with it, and poor Zepheretta looked almost frightened to death. �Why don't you sing?� sternly demanded Mr. Sage again. �You never sing in this school as you can sing.� Zepheretta looked as if she were going to cry. She opened her mouth, as if to speak, but did not. Then, suddenly, Lurinda Snell, who sat on her right, spoke for her. �I can tell you why, if you want to know, Mr. Sage,� she said; �I haven't told a soul before, but much as three years ago I heard Maria Rice tell Zepheretta not to sing so loud, she drowned her all out, and Zepheretta hasn't sung so loud since.� When Lurinda stopped, with a defiant nod of her head, you could have heard a pin drop. Maria Rice, on the other side of Zepheretta, was blushing as pink as her dress. Then Mr. Sage brought his baton down. �Sing!� he shouted, and we all began again � �When shepherds watch their flocks by night.� Zepheretta did let out her voice a little more then, and we were all amazed; nobody had dreamed she could sing so well. Still it was quite evident that she held her voice back somewhat on her high notes, on account of Maria's feelings, though Maria would not sing at all during the rest of the evening. I think she was glad when the Sing was over, though everybody else had enjoyed it. It was ten o'clock when we closed, after singing �When marshaled on the nightly plain,� and all the young men who had come with teams hastened out to get them. Many a young woman who had come to the Sing with her father or brother went home in the sleigh of some gallant swain who was waiting for her when she emerged from the town hall. All the girls in coming down the steps ran a sort of gauntlet of love and jealousy between double lines of waiting beaus, beyond whom the restive horses pranced with frequent flurries of bells. Then Maria Rice, to the great delight of the vindictive of her sex and the amused pity of others, was seen, after manifestly hurrying and lingering, and peering with eagerly furtive eyes toward Jim Paine, to gather up her pink silk skirts and go forlornly down the road with Lydia Wheelock, who lived her way. It was rumored that she wept all the way home, in spite of Lydia's attempts to comfort her, but nobody ever knew. She was not far on the road before Jim Paine and Zepheretta passed her in Jim's sleigh drawn by his fast black horse. Everybody was astonished to see Jim step out from the waiting file, accost Zepheretta, and lead her to his sleigh as if she had been a princess, and probably Zepheretta was the most astonished of all. Mr. Cassius C. Dowell, who had driven over from Langham, took Lottie Green home, and Mr. Lucius Downey escorted Lurinda Snell. He had brought a lantern, though it was bright moonlight � he is fond of carrying one because his eyes are poor. The lantern-light shone full on Lurinda's face as she went proudly past on his arm, and she looked like a young girl. The next day we heard that all three couples were going to be married, and that another very young couple, who had driven down the road at such a furious rate that everybody had hastened out of the way, and there had been narrow escapes from collisions, were married. They had driven ten miles to Dover for that purpose, nobody ever knew why. The parents on either side would have given free consent to the match, but they drove to Dover that Christmas Eve as if whole regiments of furious relatives were savagely charging at their backs. However, that marriage has been happy so far, and the others also. Jim and Zepheretta are a devoted pair; Lurinda Snell makes a good wife for Lucius Downey, and does not talk as bitterly about her neighbors as was her unpleasant custom of doing formerly. Cassius C. Dowell seems very happy with Lottie, so the neighbors all say, and Lydia Wheelock, now that she has not Lottie and her children to look after and provide for, has bought herself a new parlor carpet and a bonnet. Take it altogether, that Sing seemed to our village to bring much happiness, set, as it were, to sweet Christmas music.

__label__cc	0.724631	0.275369	Your Medical News Source Flu vaccines may shrink tumors and boost cancer treatment Recent experiments in mouse models have shown that injecting an inactivated flu virus into cancer tumors makes them shrink and boosts the effectiveness of immunotherapy. When it comes to cancer tumors, many factors influence whether or not they will respond to treatment. One of these is whether the tumors are “hot” or “cold.” What does this mean? In recent years, a new type of anticancer therapy has been gaining in popularity: immunotherapy. This form of therapy works by boosting the body’s own immune response to cancer tumors. However, for the therapy to have a higher chance of working, the tumors have to be “hot” tumors — that is, they must contain immune cells. If a tumor does not contain (enough) immune cells, or contains immunosuppressant cells, it is called a “cold” tumor. One question that researchers have been trying hard to answer is: How do we turn cold tumors into hot tumors that will respond to immunotherapy? A team of investigators from the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL, may now have found an effective way of doing just that by using inactivated flu viruses — essentially, flu vaccines — in mouse model experiments. The researchers explain their process, as well as their findings, in a study paper that now features in the journal PNAS. New approach shrinks tumors in mice The researchers got the idea for their new study by looking at data from the National Cancer Institute. The data indicated that people with lung cancer who had also been in the hospital with influenza-related lung infections tended to live longer than those with lung cancer who had not had a flu virus. When they recreated this scenario in mouse models, the researchers confirmed that those with cancer tumors and influenza-related infections tended to live longer. Going forward, the team wants “to understand how our strong immune responses against pathogens like influenza and their components could improve our much weaker immune response against some tumors,” says senior study author Dr. Andrew Zloza. “However,” he adds, “there are many factors we do not understand about live infections, and this effect does not repeat in tumors where influenza infections do not naturally occur, like skin.” So, the researchers injected an inactivated influenza virus into melanoma tumors in mouse models. They found that this “vaccine” turned tumors from cold to hot by increasing the concentration of dendritic cells in the tumors. These cells can stimulate an immune response, and indeed, they led to an increase in CD8+ T cells. These can recognize and destroy cancer cells. As a result, the mice’s melanoma tumors either grew at a slower rate or started shrinking. Also, the researchers saw that delivering the flu vaccine into a melanoma tumor on one side of a mouse’s body led to the reduction not just of the growth of the injected tumor, but also to the slower growth of another tumor, on a different side of the body, which they had not injected. The researchers saw similar results when delivering the flu vaccine to tumors of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in mouse models. “Based on this result, we hope that in [humans], injecting one tumor with an influenza vaccine [will] lead to immune responses in their other tumors as well,” says Dr. Zloza. Flu shots might boost immunotherapy “Our successes with a flu vaccine that we created made us wonder if seasonal flu vaccines that are already [Food and Drug Administration]-approved could be repurposed as treatments for cancer,” Dr. Zloza adds. “Since these have been used in millions of people and have already been shown to be safe, we thought using flu shots to treat cancer could be brought to patients quickly.” Dr. Andrew Zloza The researchers therefore worked with specially engineered mouse models, into which they were able to transplant both tumors and immune cells from humans with lung cancer and metastatic melanoma. Dr. Zloza and colleagues found that injecting these human-derived tumors with a regular, FDA-approved flu shot led them to shrink. “Such [a] transplant allows us to utilize patient-grade drugs in a living system. This is as close as we can get to testing something ahead of a clinical trial,” he explains. The researchers also wanted to see if they could use flu shots as an adjuvant therapy — that is, as an aid to existing anticancer therapies. So, in additional experiments, they delivered the flu shots alongside a form of immunotherapy that relies on immune checkpoint inhibitors. These are drugs that stimulate immune cells to mount an attack against cancer tumors. In doing this, the researchers found two things. The first was that the flu vaccines were able to reduce tumor growth on their own, regardless of whether or not the targeted tumor responded to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. The second was that when the tumor did respond to immunotherapy, the flu shot combination led to an even more pronounced reduction in tumor growth. “These results propose that eventually both [people] who respond and who do not respond to other immunotherapies might benefit from the injection of influenza vaccines into the tumor, and it may increase the small proportion of patients that are now long-term responders to immunotherapies,” says Dr. Zloza. “Since humans and mice are about 95% genetically identical, the hope is that this approach will work in patients. The next step planned is to conduct clinical trials to test various factors,” he concludes.

"If I'm late..." something or other. Rest of it escapes me at the moment, sorry. But don't the two of them get to the office pretty much at the same time? Where was her 'appointment' supposed to be, and did she go? Or was she just freaked out and made something up because she was trying to get David to leave the house? Stranger who? Stranger me? They don't get any stranger... Post by Johanna on Mar 22, 2006 9:47:02 GMT -5 You´re right, we never get to see any appointment! She arrives at the office before him, but "If I take you home, I´ll be late" indicates that he was going home before going to work (did I use the w-word?!). She could have had the time to get her hair done? Manicure (womancure)? The most realistic thing would be that she just wanted him out of her hair. ryangie97 "I just remembered, I have an appointment" Mar 22, 2006 11:21:50 GMT -5 Post by ryangie97 on Mar 22, 2006 11:21:50 GMT -5 Good question.

"You can lead a horse to water, but that doesn't make it a duck" I always believed it was just a line Maddie says to David. She freaked in the morning and he mentions making coffee so she probably figured that maybe David and her would lead right back to bed which she didn't want to do. She just tells him she has an appt. She can't even look him in the eye and tell him that. She needs to go behind closed doors to do that. We don't know how late they both were when they got to work .Maddie could have drove around and then showed up a little before David. Mind you David was almost always late and neither of them knew the other was there when they arrived only Maddie figured it out once she heard David singing.

__label__cc	0.726847	0.273153	Would You Buy a Yugo from this Man? My jaw drops at some of the nonsense I'm hearing in defense of the new contract. The first line of defense, of course, is Mulgrew's threat to the DA. If you vote no, you have to wait for 150 unions. Let's be clear. First, there is history here. In 1995, Sandra Feldman told us anyone who thought we'd do better must be "smoking something." Nonetheless, we voted it down. When I hit maximum in my 22nd rather than 25th year, I was very glad we did. Can I wait for that whopping 2% compensation increase waiting for me, or that thousand-buck pre-tax bribe? Well, yes I can. And even if I wanted it really badly, it would be unacceptable if it cost one of my ATR brothers or sisters a job. And second-tier due process for ATRs, for those of you who don't know what a giveback is, is a giveback. Isn't due process for one teacher due process for all? Isn't that fundamental to us as unionists? How can Mulgrew call the process fast and fair when he himself now states that arbitrators will set policy? We don't even know what the policy is and we're praising it. You may have also seen a recent post here trying to organize a free and fair forum so both sides could be heard. A UFT rep got back to me and objected to Geoff Decker of Chalkbeat NY as a moderator. I understand that they may have been upset with Chalkbeat reporting Mulgrew's DA comments. I proposed the names of several other journalists, but the UFT rep expressed concern about UFT inside baseball being reported by the press. This was troubling, as it then became very difficult to figure who could moderate. What was more troubling, on reflection, was the fact that if UFT was unwilling to allow a journalist to view a two-sided forum, they'd likely be even more unwilling to allow it to be recorded. This, to me, made the entire idea less than worthwhile. While I'd very much like for my members to see both sides of the argument, I'd like even more for UFT members citywide to see it. The other day I peeked at the comments on Norm Scott's post, largely a mirror of mine. There's a meme being tossed around by Unity faithful, that members should simply read the MOA and make up their own mind. This, of course, comes from the same people who voted it up sight unseen not once, but twice. I was very clear that both sides would get equal airing, unlike the DA, where Mulgrew spoke for an hour and unceremoniously cut off James Eterno in fewer than 30 seconds. That, to some Unity supporters, represents democracy. But the young UFT delegate to my right watched this and asked me why we even had a union. A former elementary teacher, she said even elementary students could clearly see how unfair this is. Yet a Unity supporter mustered the audacity to tell me the other day that both sides were heard. The comments on Norm's site indicate that a fair discussion would be a "personal attack" on Janella Hinds, the UFT VP. First of all, no one suggested anything whatsoever personal about Janella, and no one suggested it should be she, or indeed anyone in particular representing the pro view. Another suggests the notion of a forum is to sway and misinform. Yet another suggests the UFT reps are an adequate source of info. This is simply not personal. I'm friends with a lot of people with whom I disagree politically. I'm not in the habit of calling them liars for disagreeing with me, and I'm routinely shocked at the intolerance of the Unity cult at the DA. Regardless, one side is simply not enough. UFT members deserve to hear both sides, and the overwhelming majority simply are not. UFT leadership requires a loyalty oath from those who join the Unity Caucus, which you can see right here. They are sworn to publicly support whatever leadership tells them to. They are, therefore, not a reliable source of information. They may be right, and they may be wrong, but they are sworn to say what they're told for better or worse. If you were looking for the most reliable car to drive, would you use the Yugo dealer as your sole source of information? I wouldn't. We're teachers. We're role models for the kids we serve. We don't deserve their respect if we all drive Yugos just because Mike Mulgrew tells us to.

A one-armed veteran of the Vietnam war, he lives on a leaky boat at L.A.’s Old Fleet Marina. Now the marina is to be sold, and Flanagan — along with a hundred others — is to be ousted, with no place to go. His protests ignored, he phones the marina’s wealthy owner, an importer named Le Van Minh, and arranges a meeting. But Le never shows — until Flanagan stumbles over his corpse on the dock and is arrested fro murder. Public Defender Tracy Davis thinks Flanagan is innocent, and hires Dave Brandstetter to find the real killer. Brandstetter soon finds himself on the unseen border where American and Asian cultures meet and clash. Other wealthy Vietnamese have met violent ends recently. What role does the gang lord Don Pham play? What did a black street runner see that he shouldn’t? What angry secret do the young people of Le’s family share between them? Obedience is a story of ancient verities trashed by 20th-century greed and corruption.

On ABE when I checked just now, there were 9 copies of the first printing, and two of the second. The movie was simply titled Johnny Cool (United Artists, 1963). Henry Silva played the title role. To read Gold Medal aficionado Bill Crider’s take on both the book and the movie, go here. Addenda to CRIME FICTION IV: Pamela Burford, Patricia Ryan & others.

Carr Posted by Steve under Authors , Columns , Crime Films FIRST YOU READ, THEN YOU WRITE by Francis M. Nevins In the first edition of Cornell Woolrich’s The Bride Wore Black (1940), each of the novel’s five parts opens with a motto, whose respective sources are Rodgers & Hart, Guy de Maupassant, Cole Porter, and de Maupassant twice more. In the first paperback edition (Pocket Books #271, 1945), the first and third of these are dropped and replaced by lines attributed respectively to Poe and the social philosopher Herbert Spencer. The Poe couplet at the beginning of Part One reads as follows: How silent is the night — how clear and bright! I nothing hear, nor aught there is to hear me. Not long ago an Italian author who is preparing an anthology of essays on Woolrich emailed me to ask if I knew the source of that couplet, which doesn’t appear in any known poem of Poe’s. Splitting the first line into its component parts and calling on trusty Google produced one and only one hit. According to www.authspot.com, the quoted matter comes from the first verse of The Murderer, which is billed as an unpublished poem by Edger (sic) Allen (sic) Poe, rewritten (with many other misspellings) by one coyote103 and posted last March. But lines I quoted above must have been published before 1945 or whatever copyright-paranoid munchkin at Pocket Books substituted them for Woolrich’s Rodgers & Hart quotation couldn’t have known about them. A later email from my Italian correspondent solved the problem. The quoted couplet is part of a 70-line fragment first published almost forty years after Poe’s death in George W. Conklin’s Handy Manual (Chicago, 1887). No scholar today believes they were written by Poe but the first three lines ( “Ye glittering stars! How fair ye shine tonight/And O, thou beauteous moon! Thy fairy light/Is peeping thro those iron bars so near me”) are quoted in Thomas Ollive Mabbott’s definitive edition of Poe’s poetry (Harvard University Press, 1969). How Pocket Books came across them more than a quarter century earlier remains a mystery. The year The Bride Wore Black first came out is commonly considered the year when film noir came into being. But the more movies I see from the years immediately preceding 1940, the more I tend to question that consensus. Turner Classic Movies recently and for the first time ran Let Us Live (Columbia, 1939), directed by John Brahm and starring Henry Fonda and Maureen O’Sullivan. The storyline is pure Woolrich — perverse coincidence and police pressure on witnesses lead to two guys down on their luck being falsely convicted for bank robbery and murder and precipitate a race by the desperate fiancee of one of them to find the real criminals before it’s too late — and the visuals are as shadowy and menacing as anything in the downbeat classics of the Forties. If this isn’t film noir, toads fly. Devotees of films noir and their fictional sources will want to check out Kevin Johnson’s The Dark Page: Books That Inspired American Film Noir, 1940-1949. In this coffee-table book, recently published by Oak Knoll Press, each right-hand page is devoted to a lush full-color reproduction of the dust-jacket from one of the novels or story collections which was the source, sometimes very remotely, for a film noir from the Forties. Each left-hand page contains a technical description of the jacket and brief comments on the relevant book and film. Mr. Johnson, the owner of Baltimore’s Royal Books — whose website, www.royalbooks.com, is worth checking out — is working on a companion volume which will deal with the literary sources of various films noir released between 1950 and 1965. I understand he ll be present at NoirCon, which will be held in Philadelphia early in April. That website (www.noircon.com) is worth checking out too. Our Poetry Corner guest star for today is A. H. Z. Carr. Anyone remember him? He was born in 1902 and his early stories appeared in Harper’s, Saturday Evening Post and other top general fiction magazines of the Thirties, but he first registered on mystery readers’ radar when his “The Trial of John Nobody” was published in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine (November 1950). His fourth EQMM original, “Tyger! Tyger!” (October 1952), is perhaps the finest short crime story to deal centrally with poets and poetry. Malcolm Ridge, struggling to express his feelings about the Atomic Age, becomes prime suspect in the murder of the owner of a Russian restaurant in Greenwich Village and uses his skills as a poet not only to clear himself and identify the real killer but also to use the experience in conjuring up the exact words his poem-in-progress needed. Carr died in October 1971, about six months after his Finding Maubee won the Edgar for best first novel of 1970. Starring in the much later film version, 1989’s The Mighty Quinn, was the young Denzel Washington.

The problem was, Anna had not, in fact, killed her lover. She’d been cruelly framed. Then, at the eleventh hour, the true murderer confesses. Anna becomes a free woman. A free woman with a frightening plan. She blackmails the authorities into reporting her execution. Now the world at large, including those who had sent her up, thinks she fried. Anna’s next step is to seek out gin-soaked, falling-in-love lawyer J. J. Malone. And with his exuberant approval, Anna sets out on a devilish trail of haunting revenge. “The wildest series of adventures that Craig Rice has yet put on paper.” — THE NEW YORK TIMES [FOLLOWUP COMMENTS] 11-26-07. The back cover fails to report that Craig Rice’s other pair of sleuths, Jake and Helene Justus, are in this book, a significant oversight, I would say. As for me, I failed to report that there was a movie made of The Lucky Stiff, and the link will lead you to the IMDB page for it. Brian Donlevy played Malone, and Dorothy Lamour was Anna Marie St. Clair. Jake and Helene Justus were not in the movie, which does not seem to be available, either commercially or on the black market. The book itself is part of the online George A. Kelley collection, where you’ll find a detailed write-up of the entire story. For much more about Craig Rice’s career in mystery fiction, mostly of the comic variety, check out Mike Grost’s website.

From the front cover (top): “David Goodis is the mystery man of hardboiled fiction — the poet of the losers.” — Geoffrey O’Brien, Mystery Scene From the front cover (bottom): Eddie was a piano man on the skids, about as far from the top as he could slide. Then he met a girl, the right girl, and she gave it all back to him. He’d kill anyone who came between them. Eddie had been a big shot one, a concert pianist at the top of his profession, able to fill Carnegie Hall whenever he chose to perform. His brothers were in a different business, however; they were thieves, killers. Until now he’d been able to avoid them, to live his life in his own way. But things were different now; they’d been different since his wife and career went out the window. He hit bottom fast. Then this girl came along, and Eddie began the long, slow climb out of the gutter. When his brother Turley showed up Eddie knew it was bad news — he couldn’t say no to Turley, no matter how painful the consequences proved to be. “Action and thrills!” — San Francisco Call Bulletin “Goodis’s characters are not just hard-boiled, they’re pickled and then deep frozen … bad-dream Bogarts on the far ledge of existence.” — Mike Wallington You are currently browsing the weblog archives for November, 2007. 1001 Midnights (276) Action Adventure movies (194) Authors (1,195) Bibliographies, Lists & Checklists (891) Books Noted (24) Characters (789) Columns (193) Comic Books I'm Reading (7) Comic Books, Cartoons, Comic Strips (26) Crime Fiction IV (451) Crime Films (413) Editors & Anthologies (14) Films: Comedy/Musicals (177) Films: Documentaries (1) Films: Drama/Romance (229) Horror movies (166) Inquiries (62) Movie & TV Trailers (9) Movie stars & directors (20) Music I'm Listening To (350) Mystery movies (431) Mystery plays (10) Obituaries / Deaths Noted (122) Old Time Radio (68) Personal Notes (103) Publishers (17) Pulp Fiction (330) Reference works / Biographies (74) SF & Fantasy films (74) Sports films (1) Stories I'm Reading (198) Suspense & espionage films (108) TV Adventure (11) TV Comedy (18) TV Diary (11) TV Drama (26) TV Espionage & Spies (14) TV Horror (11) TV musicals (3) TV mysteries (407) TV Science Fiction & Fantasy (32) TV Westerns (31) War Films (26) Western Fiction (137) Western movies (275) Posts \| Comments Design Downloaded from www.vanillamist.com	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25658

[1561842044] $24.95 by Timothy Leary Edited by David Cherubim This is Dr. Leary's only novel designed to provide a psychedelic television experience to the reader. There are four ongoing soap-opera mini-dramas. These are interwoven with commercials, special parody announcements, and mini-documentaries. The viewer is encouraged to flip from channel to channel (chapter to chapter). The central plot is the Quixotic saga of an evolutionary agent, Dylan, a confused but sincere minstrel. He has been assigned to a primitive planet in the latter years of the Roaring 20th Century to perform those small but precise jiggles needed to cause chaos in the old, outmoded gene-pools, thus allowing creative individuals to start exploring and settling the next habitats. Dylan's mission is none other than to rediscover what woman really wants. During his extraordinary life, Dr. Leary was known as a world-renowned psychologist, a student at West point, a defrocked Harvard professor, a hero, a relentless champion of brain-change, a counterculture guru, a stand-up philosopher, a prisoner of the U.S. Federal Government, a developer of computer software, friend to such notables as Aldous Huxley, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, described as "the most dangerous man in America" by President Richard Nixon, and he was an inspiration for millions of freedom-loving and free-thinking people throughout the world.

__label__wiki	0.872407	0.872407	Newzly Samsung updates its Galaxy A-series in India with premium camera features Samsung India on Wednesday announced two new smartphones in its A-series lineup. The successors to the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 are the A30s and A50s which are targeted towards millennials and come packed with premium camera features like night mode, Samsung Pay and Game Booster, to name a few. Interestingly, Samsung refreshed its Galaxy A-series earlier this year and these new additions build upon the fundamentals established by the previous models. “These new smartphones empower the users to remain on-the-go and thereby encapsulate the philosophy of ‘Ready for Live’ for the Gen Z,” said Ranjivjit Singh, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing, Mobile Business, Samsung India. The Galaxy A30s is priced at Rs 16,999 and comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. As for the Galaxy A50s, it is available in two variants– Rs 22,999 for the model with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage and Rs 24,999 for the variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Samsung Galaxy A30s and A50s are on sale and can be purchased from Amazon India, Flipkart, Paytm Mall, Samsung online shop and Samsung Opera House in Bangalore. Both the phones are available in three colours: Prism Crush Black, White and Violet. Samsung Galaxy A30s specifications (Image credit: Samsung) Samsung Galaxy A30s features a 6.4-inch HD+ (1560 x 720 pixels) Super AMOLED screen and has a v-shaped notch cutout on the front. It is powered by Exynos 7904 chipset which is the same processor as on the Galaxy A30. However, a new addition comes in the form of the Game Booster which helps stabilize frame rates and improve the overall gaming experience. The chipset is paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage and comes with an expandable microSD card slot which supports upto 512GB cards. There’s a second variant with 128GB storage but it will be available at a later date. From a dual-camera setup on the Galaxy A30, Samsung has added another sensor to the camera module on the back of the A30s. The triple camera setup now consists of a primary 25MP camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 5MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera. The phone also supports Samsung Pay via NFC and has a fingerprint sensor embedded into the display for fast unlock. The A30s has a 4,000mAh battery capacity and supports 15W fast charging. The Galaxy A50s has the same display and ultra-wide-angle lens as the A50 from earlier this year. The new upgrades come in the form of a new primary camera sensor, a new chipset and Samsung Pay support. It even has the same dimensions as the A50. It features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) resolution sAMOLED screen with a u-shaped notch on the front. The chipset used to power the A50s is an Exynos 9611 up from the 9610 that we’ve seen on the A50. In addition, the A50s also comes pre-loaded with Game Booster which aims to make the gaming experience on the phone better than before. This is paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB while the second variant has 6GB RAM. Samsung Galaxy A50s has a triple camera setup consisting of a primary 48MP sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 5MP depth sensor. There’s a 32MP camera on the front tucked away within the notch cutout for selfies. The camera app has features like a dedicated night mode, super steady video mode, best shot and scene optimizer with 30 presets, among others. There’s an on-screen fingerprint sensor and the phone supports Samsung Pay. Like the A30s, this one also comes with a 4,000mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging.

__label__cc	0.703228	0.296772	Second Circuit to New Haven: No Matter What You Do, You Are Going to be Sued… Filed under: General — Aaron Worthing @ 5:19 pm [Guest post by Aaron Worthing; if you have tips, please send them here. Or by Twitter @AaronWorthing.] Do you remember Ricci v. DeStefano? Maybe not by that name, but it was more famously known as the New Haven Firefighter’s case. I think it is useful when talking about what is happening today to look at the facts as set out by the Supreme Court in that case: In 2003, 118 New Haven firefighters took examinations to qualify for promotion to the rank of lieutenant or captain. Promotion examinations in New Haven (or City) were infrequent, so the stakes were high. The results would determine which firefighters would be considered for promotions during the next two years, and the order in which they would be considered. Many firefighters studied for months, at considerable personal and financial cost. When the examination results showed that white candidates had outperformed minority candidates, the mayor and other local politicians opened a public debate that turned rancorous. Some firefighters argued the tests should be discarded because the results showed the tests to be discriminatory. They threatened a discrimination lawsuit if the City made promotions based on the tests. Other firefighters said the exams were neutral and fair. And they, in turn, threatened a discrimination lawsuit if the City, relying on the statistical racial disparity, ignored the test results and denied promotions to the candidates who had performed well. In the end the City took the side of those who protested the test results. It threw out the examinations. Certain white and Hispanic firefighters who likely would have been promoted based on their good test performance sued the City and some of its officials. So the case went to the Supreme Court and the Court ruled that throwing out the test results was unlawful discrimination against the white and Hispanic firefighters. I think the concluding paragraphs of this opinion are equally relevant and indeed ironic given what happened today: Our holding today clarifies how Title VII applies to resolve competing expectations under the disparate-treatment and disparate-impact provisions. If, after it certifies the test results, the City faces a disparate-impact suit, then in light of our holding today it should be clear that the City would avoid disparate-impact liability based on the strong basis in evidence that, had it not certified the results, it would have been subject to disparate-treatment liability. Petitioners are entitled to summary judgment on their Title VII claim, and we therefore need not decide the underlying constitutional question. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed, and the cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. So what happened today to make that ironic? The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a black firefighter can sue the New Haven Fire Department based on literally the same decision. So basically the New Haven Fire Department lost in the Ricci case, was ordered to go forward with the promotions, and are now being sued for that exact decisions. And I don’t mean that they are being sued for a similar decision, either. I mean they are being sued for the promotions specifically involving Ricci and company. They are literally being sued for obeying a court order. Mull that over for a moment and realize that our justice system is being reduced to absurdity. But in all of this, the fault might lie at the feet of the district court, which I will note completely f—ed things up in the first place. I mean whatever you think of the Ricci case, the district court’s original opinion was indefensible. The city said it would base promotions on how the firefighters did on the exam, but when the results came out, it was pretty blatantly obvious that they decided to change their minds based on the skin color of who did best. This, the court reasoned, was not racial discrimination. That was always a wrong answer as a matter of black letter law. The correct answer is to say that it was discrimination but that not all racial discrimination is illegal, and then to determine if that racial discrimination was legal. Like it or not, that was the law as of that date. The precedents were clear on that point. And then apparently the District Court screwed up again, perhaps aided and abetted by bad counsel for New Haven. This is not the first time they have had to deal with these kinds of after-the-fact attacks in dealing with discrimination and there is a way to prevent this kind of suit. You see, 42 U.S.C. § 2000-e(n) states that: (B) A practice [ordered by the courts] may not be challenged in a claim under the Constitution or Federal civil rights laws— (i) by a person who, prior to the entry of the judgment or order described in subparagraph (A), had— (I) actual notice of the proposed judgment or order sufficient to apprise such person that such judgment or order might adversely affect the interests and legal rights of such person and that an opportunity was available to present objections to such judgment or order by a future date certain; and (II) a reasonable opportunity to present objections to such judgment or order; That language suggested a procedure, by which the court would give objectors a certain amount of time to object and if they didn’t, then they would forfeit their claims, all of which was not done thus opening the door to this litigation. I still believe that New Haven is virtually guaranteed a summary judgment, but that only comes after discovery—which could be extremely costly for the city. Anyway, you can read the entire Second Circuit decision on the matter, here. And I will say that I still stand by this analysis of Ricci, here: And, bluntly, the safer course would have been this. First, throw out every question that has no application to [N]ew [holding]aven (there were a few). Then re-score the test based on that change. Then, unless they can show the remaining questions were unfair according to race, certify the results. Because here is the reality of the situation. I have pointed out in the past where I thought that disparities existed in tests. For instance, I have taken hundreds of IQ tests, and I remember one in particular that asked about the meaning of the book of Genesis, but only asked generally what the Koran was. So clearly that is a test that favors Jews and Christians over Muslims, because while the first group is rewarded for specific knowledge of their holy book, the second is not, and I said so at the time. But I don’t think that kind of thing is happening here. I would be really surprised if they are asking questions on the test that is rewarding one set of knowledge that white people are more likely to have, and not exploring areas of knowledge that African Americans are more likely to have, which pertains to firefighting. There are actually four possibilities to explain it that I think are more likely. The first is that this is just a statistical burp. I believe the average white person is just as suited as the average black person to be a firefighter, but that doesn’t mean that there are never any statistical deviations from that in particular places. In one community, I would assume that more black people than whites would make great firefighters; and in another, more white people than black people would be. The second is that something in New Haven society keeps the best potential black firefighters from becoming firefighters in the first place, that doesn’t restrain white persons. The third is that maybe the African American firefighters could have done better but effects of discrimination over their life have held them back. So for instance, maybe their minds simply haven’t been nurtured over their lifetimes as much as the white firefighters. And the fourth is that maybe in the past New Haven has practiced discrimination against African Americans, so that in the past firefighters were more likely to be white. So then those white firefighters very often raised their children to follow in their footsteps and therefore have given their children a lot more training in the area of firefighting. So maybe Ricci is a great firefighter in part because his daddy, and his granddaddy, and his great-granddaddy were all firefighters, and he benefits from all of that familial knowledge. (Speaking hypothetically; I don’t know nearly that much about Ricci.) I have a feeling that the last one is the most likely possibility. Now, in all of those possibilities it is still the case that as of this day, the best scorers on the test are likely the best firefighters, and if there is any discrimination to blame, it is not the test itself, but forces outside of the test itself. And however much we might lament those outside forces (and I do) and the wasted potential, the fact is if your house is burning down, do you want the guy who would have been a great firefighter but for discrimination that keeps him from acquiring the knowledge to be a great firefighter, or the guy who is right now a great firefighter? The question answers itself. It also suggests that rather than taking the easy way out by quotas and the like that New Haven can and probably should engage in an aggressive program of developing African American firefighters to their fullest potential. So the affirmative action should be there, in the form of affirmatively finding black potential and developing it. Rather than ignoring what are more likely than not real differences in knowledge and ability, New Haven should instead work to erase those actual differences. Which is indeed what is so pernicious about the de facto quota they tried to establish here—it would have allowed New Haven to ignore the underlying reasons for the disparity, rather than address and correct them. It doesn’t do the people of New Haven or the black firefighters themselves any favors if they are promoted when they don’t deserve it. The ruling in Ricci was a positive step in the right direction. It is now on the authorities in New Haven to work to actually erase the racial differences that exist there, rather than just covering them up. I still think that is right. Affirmative action in the form of raising people up, making them affirmatively better, rather than just by holding other people back. (Hat tip: How Appealing) [Posted and authored by Aaron Worthing.] 138 Responses to “Second Circuit to New Haven: No Matter What You Do, You Are Going to be Sued…” The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a black firefighter can sue the New Haven Fire Department based on literally the same decision. Hey, it’s clearly time to SMAck that ass!!! You know, the moronic judge(s) who keep making these absurdist decisions. Smock Puppet, Facepalm Expert (c9dcd8) — 8/15/2011 @ 5:39 pm AW, don’t forget that the “concerned Latina” was on the wrong side of this decision when she was on the Circuit Court. One thing you could say for the old “Spoils System”, these things didn’t happen – you got rewarded for loyalty to the machine, and it didn’t matter how many houses burned down, unless the machine got booted out. Perhaps these positions should be put up for public auction? How much worse could it be? Another Drew - Restore the Republic / Obama Sucks!

However in reality you can have a fair test or you can a racially equal result, but you can’t have both. Actually I think this is progress. Usually courts try to avoid crystallizing contradictions like this. Sammy Finkelman (d3de3a) — 8/15/2011 @ 6:16 pm No, Dana, ESAD is an obscene and [very] sick expression. Only a vicious degenerate would say it. r you can get a racially equal result. oh lighten up. telling a person to eat sh– and die is not that horrible mainly because it is repeated so much as to be robbed of most meaning.

There is nothing more tedious than when a liberal suddenly pretends that he or she is a prude. Oh, that’s what it means. I’m blushing. Summit, if you post here, you kinda have to go with the flow with Doh and happy and others. I don’t always agree with them, but they’re not that bad.

You don’t actually believe what you are writing. Sure. I gave up trying to be better than libs a few years ago. I see no reason to abide by standards you won’t. Whoops. AW disagrees. This is actually a great development. We are finally facing the inevitable full circle when it comes to modern reasoning against plain principle as expressed in the Constitution. The Commerce Clause is about to bite the liberals right in the butt. If we can just hold off on a new Justice until the GOP prez gets elected, we’ll have the votes to roll back constitutional Federal interventionism as we have known it since FDR. More fun will be had around abortion privileges. Science has now supported full life at 21 weeks.

But that is assuming that the plaintiff can pay, in which case new haven is screwed. Aaron, Summit is an unabashed troll certainly not worth your time. He’s really quite pointless to engage. Anyway, permit me a facepalm at the ridiculousness of our present system of justice. Philosophers redivine the tea leaves. Even a genius cannot truly understand our laws anymore. It simply isn’t possible. What it takes to run a business or fire department is just too much these days. That’s great for accountants and the bar, but it’s not so great for businessmen who just want to apply a craft and make a living. I’m tired of a government that even thinks in terms of race. It’s just one of many abstractions that presents an unsolvable problem and an endlessly aggrieved society. Dustin (b7410e) — 8/15/2011 @ 6:47 pm ah, more concern trolling. you’re boring me. elissa: Thanks, I missed that. I wasn’t referring ESAD… I’m just tired of women being labeled whores.

Summit is extremely odd today. JD (318f81) — 8/15/2011 @ 6:53 pm But, is there any good-faith argument under the law that says, “Hey, lawyer, the Supreme Court already decided this, why are you wasting the court’s time?” Are lawyers completely free to thumb their collective noses at the Supreme Court? Snappy come-back there, Aaron. Yes m’am. LOL The Sophists, called, they said knock it off; look calling Sarah Palin a word that rhymes with blunt is alright. But calling Sonia Sotomayor a manwhore is antiamerican. That is how the maoist mind works. That is unnecessary, Doh, unless you want to descend to the depths of a Maher and likeminded sorts. It is all taxpayer money so there is no limit on the amount to be disbursed. Bernanke said give me a helicopter and i will fix everything with free money. Free money is not an oxymoron in leftist lexicon. dunce (8dd87b) — 8/15/2011 @ 7:17 pm Doh–I think you can still call her Satanomayor. Satanmayor is a wise latina like Helen Thomas is sexy.

This is a very Kafkaesque situation. Does New Haven want to go bankrupt defending one proposition or the other? Maybe they should dissolve the city and reorganize, and tell everyone there will be a volunteer fire dept with no chain of command- everyone bring your own filled bucket to toss on the fire. After the Left’s incredibly profane attack against Palin, they have no standing (to use a legal phrase) to complain about any name-calling. That said, no one needs to resort to name-calling to criticize Sotomayor’s record; people needed to jump to such phrases with Palin because at the time they didn’t know what else to say about a governor with an 80%+ approval rating who had beaten both the Dems and the entrenched Repubs. MD in Philly (cd9679) — 8/15/2011 @ 7:25 pm Dude this is connecticut where they voted for the liberal over Linda Mcmahon because they believe she personally killed Chris Benoit.

Maybe they should dissolve the city and reorganize, and tell everyone there will be a volunteer fire dept with no chain of command- everyone bring your own filled bucket to toss on the fire. There was a fire near my house today. Several houses were destroyed. As the airplanes flew over my house to put it out (it was a bad fire), some goofball on twitter is screaming about how in ‘Perry’s Texas they aren’t using federally approved encryption, risking lives!’ Ah, the mentality of a bureaucrat. She went on about how federal grants demand the right encryption, while the planes and helicopters did all they could to put the fires out. They want to infest every little thing, and their need to nitpick will never end. But fires in Texas have been a huge problem, and it’s yet another problem the state government is doing an amazing job keeping under control. Amazing coordinated response. But they weren’t doing everything by some playbook written by some lobbyist in DC, I guess. Comment by JD Tamandua is my guess for this one. A lot of this would just go away if the losing lawyer was required to pay all expenses out of his own pocket. Huey (ddf1a4) — 8/15/2011 @ 8:50 pm Comment by Dustin — 8/15/2011 @ 8:48 pm You know I would have caught that by now, right? 😉 Summit has consistently posted using the same name, no anonymizer, and commenting style. I hate to see him clash with people I respect, but he’s not dishonest. I think there’s some miscommunication combined with both a legitimate difference of opinion and a bad day. This is one of those times when it looks like a statistical hiccup has occurred and everyone should just let it go. Just my opinion, YMMV. Stashiu3 (601b7d) — 8/15/2011 @ 9:02 pm The Legal system has always been prone to absurdity. The legal system of the Hittites was probably prone to absurdity. Even a legal system in which judges stuck strictly to interpretation based on text and precedent would produce absurdities …. often. This is why less law is better than more law, as a rule. I have said this before, elsewhere (and maybe here, though I don’t recall it) but it bears repeating; The problem isn’t that a government with the power to give you everything you want has the power to take everything you have. The problem is that such a government is necessarily so vast that it can squash you like a bug without meaning to …. or even noticing. It was decided some time back that it was a part of the duty of the State to make sure that all people were treated fairly. Not equally before the Law. Fairly. Anybody who didn’t see that that decision would inevitably lead to rulings like this had stars in their eyes, and their brain stuck in neutral. C. S. P. Schofield (8b1968) — 8/15/2011 @ 9:03 pm Ha Dustin. I agree. That was my first thought as well. The passive aggressive is the tell. Suck ups, double meanings, then out of control rages/zingers when challenged. I think Stash mentioned last week he has a bead on that one who has posted under several other names, too. This be funny. S. Carter aka J-Z (786e37) — 8/15/2011 @ 9:10 pm Stashiu– Sorry my post crossed with yours. I hope you’re right (and you almost always are) but somehow I don’t think this is going to end well. When people consciously attack multiple commenters and attempt to hijack multiple threads that are addressing good topics–there’s usually a reason beyond someboidy having a bad day. I’m irrational. I don’t know anything. daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 8/15/2011 @ 9:16 pm Well Daley–of course. You’re not an Ivy Leaguer, silly. This is one of those times when it looks like a statistical hiccup has occurred and everyone should just let it go. I’m totally cool with that. More drama is the last thing this blog needs. Because what this is doing is distinguishing and separating a group of people by color, it seems discriminatory. And yet clearly there is the need to increase the knowledge and ability of some so that they too can progress. What a conundrum. Where do the lawsuits end in this? Everyone has a valid complaint… I don’t see this working. If you try to improve one group they will claim unfair hardship as discrimination. If you just deny training to the better groups you are unfairly discriminating and should be sued. It is far easier to achieve equality by dragging down the better firefighters and far safer to just go with a quota and ignore superior motivation, achievement, and performance in favor of strict ethnic ratios. I think we have seen that few governments have had the integrity or courage to resist the safe path. The Federal government is still taking this path in judging banks on issuing loans, aren’t they? I think the only result of this kind of BS will be dumping tests or performance standards in favor of subjective evaluations and quotas. Or just much less government. Machinist (b6f7da) — 8/15/2011 @ 10:17 pm The firefighters that were willing to work harder to do better had already done so. It was reflected in the tests. The ones who were not willing to study as hard for the tests are not going to cooperate with efforts to make them perform better or learn more. “Hey, you want to talk and act like trash.” In my caser it’s not a case of want, I just can’t control myself!

When someone known for their fair-mindedness and generosity of heart steps in to try to clear up misunderstandings and bring reconciliation, to rebut that person is personally seen as bad manners and an effort to keep dissension alive just for dissension’s sake. Once this characteristic has been clearly displayed and confirmed, we generally take note and act “accordingly” (whatever “accordingly” is to each individual).

Stashiu3 (601b7d) — 8/16/2011 @ 10:42 pm Based on the original lawsuit description it sounds to me like New Haven needs to partner up with the Firefighters Union and come up with a better way to promote. It sounds like there was a racial bias in the test (with a yet to be clearly identified root cause) that resulted in lower scores for black firefighters. What New Haven should do nexxt is conduct a careful analysis of the test results, release the results of this examination, and then take appropriate actions. One possibility would be to identify those questions where the black firefighters scored poorly and then hold training courses in those areas open to all FF’s eligible to take the exams. If, on the other hand, the racial bias resulted from the extra courses that the high scorers took then New Haven should have make those courses a pre-requisite before allowing anyone to sit for the exam. Presumably all eligible FF are paid similarly so the course cost should be equally shared between those FF wishing to be promoted and the City. Regardless of any lawsuit, it does appear the City has work to do to correct a seemingly real problem. But first they must identify what caused the disparities and take action.

Milhouse (ea66e3) — 8/17/2011 @ 9:02 am It sounds like there was a racial bias in the test (with a yet to be clearly identified root cause) that resulted in lower scores for black firefighters. Um, why does it sound like that to you? Why can’t you accept the possibility that the white applicants did better at the test because they were better? Why should it do any such thing? It’s the applicants’ choice what preparations, if any, they wish to make for the test. Why is it the city’s business? What about those questions, if any, where white applicants scored poorly? Why not hold training courses in those areas? The bottom line is, why do you care that the black applicants didn’t do well? Why should anyone except those applicants care? Why is it a bad thing if the racial makeup of the senior firefighters happens to be different from that of the junior ones? Who but a racist gives a s–t about such things? Wait a minute. I must be missing something very basic, because I could swear I read, just above, that the Supreme Court wrote “If, after it certifies the test results, the City faces a disparate-impact suit, then in light of our holding today it should be clear that the City would avoid disparate-impact liability”. Does that not mean what it sounds like? Isn’t this a direct instruction from the Supreme Court to all inferior courts not to entertain such a suit? So why is the 2nd Circuit ignoring that instruction? Could someone please explain what it is that I’m not seeing? OK, I’ve now read the 2nd circuit decision, and it does address this, at great length but with no substance. “Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” is how I’d describe the “reasoning”. The panel wanted to ignore the Supreme Court, so it did. Those judges should be impeached for defying the Supreme Court. Michael Ejercito (64388b) — 8/17/2011 @ 9:36 am The whole idea of disparate impact is nonsense on stilts, because it’s premised on the nonsensical assumption that race is irrelevant, and all people are equally likely to be good or bad at everything. Everybody knows that this is false. Some people are better than others at certain things, and a good deal of that difference is genetic, which means that race is very likely to affect a person’s odds of being good or bad at any given thing. An outcome to any test, of any kind, that is perfectly balanced as to race is unlikely, and is not particularly desirable. There is no reason to prefer one racial makeup to another; just pick the best people, and whatever makeup results is by definition the correct one at that moment. judges should be impeached Would that not require a political class that possessed something that passes for a backbone? IIRC, the last Federal Judge to be impeached now sits in the House of Representatives. Boy, they really hurt his career. Another Drew - Restore the Republic / Obama Sucks! (1a601a) — 8/17/2011 @ 10:06 am The bottom line is, why do you care that the black applicants didn’t do well? Why should anyone except those applicants care? Why is it a bad thing if the racial makeup of the senior firefighters happens to be different from that of the junior ones? Who but a racist gives a s–t about such things? Comment by Milhouse — 8/17/2011 @ 9:18 am First off it is Experienced Firefighters sitting for the exam, and not just some average Black, White, or Hispanic kid just out of High School. Presumably the test is just about Fire Department related issues. Observable dispersion of data in such a test should warrant additional examination. Secondly when data disperses, for whatever reason, there is an underlying explanation. If the data dispersed solely based on the race of the test taker then there seems to be issues that need correcting. Again these are experienced fellows and not just kids off the street. Finally it is in the best interest of the City to have the most qualified candidates in these senior positions. Consequently if there are outside courses that improve the skills of the applicants then it is in the City’s interest to foster interest in those courses. Such help should improve the skills of all and not just one racial group. Personally I don’t believe that a test should be sole decider in promotions…but that seems to be how New Haven does their promotions… GoDaddy (6ed79d) — 8/18/2011 @ 8:14 pm So what? Some of them are better than others. Why should it be noteworthy that the better ones have a different genetic background than the worse ones?

This is a first past the post election so voting any other way in Tory-held seats would risk letting the Tories back in without a fight. The polls are warning that Tories could win big in England and that would mean a world of hurt for Scotland under Prime Minister Boris Johnson, our only escape from which could be to win independence, which the SNP do support, whereas Labour and the Liberal Democrats as unionists expect us Scots to suffer under any UK Government, no matter how terrible for Scots. I don't even believe that the Tories can be trusted with regard to fishing rights because they have done nothing to get UK waters out of the European Union Common Fisheries Policy since the LEAVE vote 3+ years ago when they could easily have ordered the Royal Navy to exclude foreign fishing boats but never did anything to protect our fishing waters and fishing stocks. Knowing the treacherous Tories, they will sell our fishing industry out once again. I've got my own particular reasons for not trusting the Tories here in Aberdeen - the time years ago that Aberdeen Conservative Councillor and Justice of the Peace Michael Hastie was too weak to stand up against Post Office financial mismanagement encouraging the crimes of fraud, theft and robbery and endangering victims with violence, leading to at least one murder that we know of. Hastie fined and jailed me rather than support my rights and duty to blow the whistle about the urgent need for crime prevention action. Tory stupidity, criminality and treachery is about as bad as it gets so we must use our votes tactically to stop the Tories wherever we can.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25669
__label__cc	0.507457	0.492543	We have been recognised by the prestigious Core77 Awards We are proud to have been recognised by the prestigious Core77 Awards. The Global Service Jam project was chosen from international nominees, being awarded the Runner-Up prize in the newly launched "Services" category. When we launched the Jam in 2011, we were thrilled (and often congratulated) about being featured in a small article by Core77. Two years later, being awarded this major prize by the same organisation is a real honour. "The Jam" is a global, face to face event where people of various backgrounds voluntarily spend 48 hours designing new services, learning new skills and new attitudes, meeting new collaborators and having a great time. The Global Service Jam and it's sister events are non-profit volunteer activities organized by an informal network of service design afficinados, who all share a common passion for growing the field of service design and customer experience. The Jam has a staff of none and a budget of nearly nothing. Commenting on their decision, the Prize Jury said, "the Global Service Jam is an initiative significantly contributing to the spread of service design culture among students and professionals. Its worldwide diffusion, due to the easy adoptable and original format, has brought to the creation of a huge and passionate community of designers. The challenging format, highly engaging and motivating, has contributed to add services to the global design agenda." However, the Jam is not just an achievement of Adam and Markus. We have been able to mobilise a global network of Jammers, Hosts and supporters in more than 350 Jams worldwide. They have enlivened and expanded our basic idea - not to mention the contributions made by committed Jammers who travelled to JamJams in Gothenburg, Nuremberg and Sao Paulo. This award belongs to them too. The Jam idea continues, with around 90 cities expected to join the next Global Sustainability Jam coming up in November. WorkPlayExperience also use jamming as an innovation and awareness tool in their consultancy work for large organisations over the world, from Herzogenaurach to Canberra. Core77 Design Awards Project Page Core77 Design Awards Category Honorees It's OVER folks, it's OVER. The third Global Service Jam - the sixth Jam we have enjoyed with you all - broke all the records. All of them. At the end of the day, almost 3000 people in over 120 cities had Jammed for a total of 84000 person-hours (that's about 50 person-years) and produced over 500 projects, uploaded here... But the projects are not even half of it. The buzz on Twitter and Facebook, the serious conversations, the crazy dance videos, the valuable insights - everything was bigger, brighter and bolder than ever before. And that is all down to you. You made it happen! We're tired, frazzled and after 65 hours of non-stop GlobalHQ we need a rest. But we have to thank everyone who made the worlds biggest ever service design, design thinking, innovation event possible. Those amazing local hosts - some of them experienced hands, some of them complete beginners - who took the time and had the courage to set up these amazing events. The sponsors who gave us spaces, food, drink, tools, and advice. And everyone who just helped out in the good spirit of the Jam. You are amazing! It always blows us away. We run this thing with a staff of 0 and a budget of nearly nothing. Things will go wrong, and things do go wrong. But when you were frustrated - like when we were not clear in our communication, or when we fried the server - NOBODY got mad at us. Nobody even got grumpy. You smiled (at least outwardly), and kept on Jamming. What an amazing community you are! It is a privilege to Jam with you. We need to say some special thanks to the people close to us who made it possible to run GlobalHQ for an event of this scale. Thanks to the Bangalore Jammers, to Neeraj and Francis, to Deepthi, Gautham and everyone else at Thoughtworks for hosting and making us so thoroughly welcome! And very special and personal thanks to "no sleep till Monday" Manish and Mik for jumping in at the last minute to help run the GlobalHQ and news desk. You guys rock! Look at all those projects online! But don't forget to look at all the other outcomes of the Jam - the new skills, attitudes, and energy you have. The friendships and contacts - tested by Jam - you have made. The other projects and initiatives which will come later. And of course the knowledge that you CAN do this, you can beat impossible deadlines, work like crazy and still have fun. Thank you again. All of you. YOU ARE THE JAM. Let's do it again in June at Global GovJam, the Jam with unpredendented potential. It's going to be huge! It's over, we're worn out. We need to sleep. GlobalHQ out. JAM OFF! Markus & Adam. PS Oh, just one more thing... 2013 Opening theme video Enjoy the Theme Video which launched this years' Jam, made by the amazing team in Helsinki with help from Jammers around the world. This is why we Jam! LrxuGtCXftY 3, 2, 1 Jam! The world is starting to Jam! We have confirmed sites in more than 115 cities, with Jams of all shapes and sizes, and many cities and countries Jamming for the first time. We are expecting more than 3000 keen Jammers are lined up to change the world in 48 hours. What a feeling! Whether you are a first time Jammer, or an old timer, you are welcome! And if you are watching from the sidelines - you are welcome too! Sit back and relax, and follow the Jam here, on Facebook or our fast-moving Twitter stream. It's going to be quite a ride! Thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to bring us this far, and every Jammer who will join us this weekend. You are the Jam! Now... JAM ON! Global HQ 2013 in Bangalore! We are pleased to announce that the Global HQ of this year's Global Service Jam will be in Bangalore, India, hosted by the Bangalore Jam. Adam and Markus write: The Global HQ of the Jam has always been in our home town, with the wonderful Nuremberg Jammers. But the Jam is truly a global event, and we need to reflect that. We have personally been very excited to see India catch the Jam fever - and then to see such excellent Jams in India! India has some of the planet's biggest and best Jams. There is a fantastic energy, drive and spirit of sharing which embodies the very best of the Jam way. Bangalore exploded onto the Jam scene and took a place in the front row. It is certainly among those genuinely world class Jams where we see great results, great productivity and professionalism - while people are having a great time. Bangalore has a global reputation as a city with energy, skills and a forward-looking attitude. We also experience our Bangalore contacts as remarkably open and cooperative. We are very excited that we will be able to visit, to see the city and Bangalore Jam for ourselves - and we can't wait to meet the Bangalore Jammers and hosts! Thanks to all the people from the Bangalore Jam (Neeraj, Francis, Sunhera, Aditi, Viji) and Thoughtworks (Manish, Gautham, Deepthi) for making this possible. See you in India!	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25673

The short list of known suspects responsible for the Capitol bombing dropped to zero on Designated Survivor Season 1 Episode 15 when the long sought after Mystery Woman was killed. At least she left behind some clues, although not about who else might be involved but what other landmarks might be targeted next. It seems that the terrorists are targeting the Statue of Liberty, Hoover Dam, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Out of all of them, the Hoover Dam would be the most disastrous, as it would affect millions of people; dropping the Golden Gate Bridge would be horrific, and bombing the Statue of Liberty would just be a dagger to the heart of American people after it was all done. What's with these people?! But the bigger question is: who are they? We didn't get many answers as most of the hour focused on Kirkman resetting his 100-day clock, but someone inside has to be involved. I would want to believe it's someone we already met, but at this point, it could be anyone. Poor Kirkman is thinking he's ahead of the game by announcing his sweeping agenda (he's such an idealist) when he's going to be sidetracked once again when Hannah reports her findings to him. Will the bad guys figure out that the President knows the next targets? Could they just be a diversion because they have something bigger in mind? Why did they wait so long before striking? Kirkman may be trying to get the country back on track, but once these new terrorist plots are revealed, and you know a reporter is going to find out, he's going to be up the creek. While the public wants him to focus on fixing the country, they are still going to criticize him for not paying enough attention to the terrorist threat. Kirkman isn't going to win with the public when this happens, but he'll have the opportunity to show just how strong he really is. When it comes it down to it, President Tom Kirkman is a man of steel. I believe he can handle anything, even this new terrorist threat that's about to be thrown his way. I believe he'll be able to juggle the threat by pushing through his agenda. He's got a great team working for him, and they're going to help him be a success unless Emily and/or Seth are involved. Emily seems to be the most innocent of the two, but she catapulted herself to the position she wanted in the very beginning. We didn't see her influence Kirkman with his decision, but who knows what she really did behind the scenes? 13 TV Marriages We Wish Were Ours TV is notorious for showing the "how it happened" flashbacks after it happens, and who's to say it won't be the case here? Emily could be involved. Kirkman also got a new enemy in the way of Senator Bowman. Gun control is a touchy subject, which is why I don't understand why Alex just didn't back away from the question, especially knowing it wasn't on Kirkman's 100-day agenda. She can't continue to use her inexperience as an excuse anymore. Her husband certainly isn't. I believe she's up to something. I know it doesn't seem possible, but who knows at this point? Everyone is a suspect, and my dollar is still on Alex. How many other politicians are out there waiting to pounce on something Kirkman does? Bowman isn't the only one. We know Hookstraten still has something up her sleeve. I'm entirely convinced she's involved with the conspiracy, but she definitely has her eye on the big seat. It's going to be strange and uncomfortable now that Aaron is working for her. It didn't seem to bother Emily much, which was unusual. If I was Emily, I'd be reporting this piece of information to Kirkman right away. It's something he should know, but it didn't seem to affect her that much. What if Aaron learns the truth about Emily (if there is a truth to be found)? Will he survive? And what does his cousin mean to the main plot? Kirkman has his hands full, that's for sure. I don't understand why someone didn't tell the guy that trying to do all he's proposing in 100 days is almost impossible. At least he didn't make promises he can't keep. Hopefully, he'll get senators on his side who can get things done (with proposals and bills that benefit the majority of the American people!) There was one scene I particularly enjoyed. When Kirkman was at the Town Hall meeting and answered the question from the guy who lost his job in manufacturing. Kirkman almost started to sugar coat it but pulled back and not only gave an honest answer and provided the reasons why but gave a realistic solution to the problem. He can't bring back manufacturing jobs because of technology, but Kirkman can do things to help people displaced by technology to get new jobs through education. 14 Shows You Should be Watching NOW! Kirkman may be an independent, but we know he's hiding an inner Bernie Sanders in there somewhere. Who else do you think Kirkman would idolize if not Sanders? It's getting deep and dark on Designated Survivor. Kirkman is working hard for the American people, and Hannah is working hard to uncover the conspiracy, but every step both take toward the positive it seems that something negative is waiting around the corner. How will Kirkman handle the new threats? Will Hannah be able to stop them in time? Will the real big bad ever be discovered? What did you think of "One Hundred Days"? Is Kirkman's agenda too much? Who is the big bad now that the Mystery Woman is dead? Hit the comments and share your thoughts. If you need to catch up, you can watch Designated Survivor online right here via TV Fanatic!

__label__wiki	0.789106	0.789106	German FM plays down intel claiming Ukraine militia downed MH17 Published time: November 10, 2014 12:01 Edited time: November 10, 2014 18:26 A picture taken on November 7, 2014, shows parts of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 at the crash site in the village of Hrabove (Grabovo), some 80km east of Donetsk. (AFP Photo/Dimitar Dilkoff) Malaysia MH17 plane crash Germany, Intelligence, Politics, Scandal, Ukraine The German Foreign Ministry maintains the media interpretation of an October statement by the president of national intelligence agency alleging self-defense militia downed MH17 flight in Ukraine was incomplete and taken out of context. The Russian embassy in Berlin received an official response to note #3693 from October 27 regarding Germany’s Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND intelligence agency) President Gerhard Schindler’s allegations that local militia in eastern Ukraine shot down the Malaysia Airlines flight in July. “The media interpretation of the report of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) president delivered to the Bundestag Committee overseeing intelligence activities on October 8 is incomplete and arbitrarily taken out of context,” the note says. Gerhard Schindler, President of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) (AFP Photo) German diplomats insisted that the BND’s analysis and evaluation was based “on information obtained from intelligence and from open sources,” which included data from the interim report of the Dutch investigation commission conducting the inquiry. The report delivered by Schindler “evaluated multiple valid scenarios with regard to their plausibility and probability,” the note said. The ministry stressed that according to the decision of the International Civil Aviation Association (ICAA), investigation of the MH17 flight crash was handed over to Dutch authorities, authorized to exclusively deliver all information on the issue. According to information made public by Germany’s Der Spiegel daily on October 19, Schindler delivered a statement in Bundestag on October 8 in which he claimed the militia in Ukraine’s Donetsk Region fired a rocket from a BUK defense missile system which it had captured from a Ukrainian base. It shot down the Malaysian Boeing as it was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 passengers and crew aboard. Putin accuses Ukrainian troops of shelling MH17 crash site Russian President Vladimir Putin, who met on Monday with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on the sidelines of an APEC summit in China, has also spoken on the issue of flight MH17. Having expressed condolences to the families of the perished passengers and Malaysian state, Vladimir Putin confirmed that Moscow insists on a complete and objective international investigation of the MH17 catastrophe in accordance with the corresponding UN resolution. A picture taken on November 10, 2014, shows parts of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 at the crash site near the village of Hrabove (Grabovo), some 80 kms east of Donetsk. (AFP Photo/Dimitar Dilkoff) At the same time Putin disagreed with the Malaysian PM, who demanded greater access to the crash site “fully controlled by the local militia.” “The reference that the crash site is fully controlled by so-called pro-Russian separatists is absolutely inconsistent, because it is not them, but the opposite side that is constantly shelling that territory,” Putin said. He noted that it is this shelling that prevents investigators from working properly at the crash site. He welcomed the fact that Malaysian experts have finally got access to fully-fledged participation in the investigation. “I’m sure your experts will contribute the necessary to the adequate investigation off this tragedy,” Putin told Razak. An international team of investigators managed to recover more human remains from the MH17 crash site in eastern Ukraine, the Dutch prime minister announced in late October. Still, investigators are intending to continue with the search operation and hire local contractors to collect plane debris beyond their reach, Reuters reported last week. http://rt.com/news/203995-germany-intelligence-report-mh17/ The War in Rojava: The US and Turkish Roles in the Battle of Kobani Mahdi Darius NAZEMROAYA \| 11.11.2014 \| 00:00 A war is being fought for control over Western Kurdistan and the northern areas of Syria, including three de facto Kurdish enclaves there. The fighting in Western Kurdistan is a means to an end and not a goal in itself. The objectives of gaining control over Syrian Kurdistan and northern Syria are critical to gaining control over the rest of the Syrian Arab Republic and entail US-supported regime change in Damascus. Western Kurdistan is alternatively called Rojava in Kurmanji, the dialect of the Kurdish language that is used locally there and spoken by the majority of the Kurds living in Turkey. The word Rojava comes from the Kurdish root word roj, which means both sun and day, and literally means «sunset» («the sun’s end») or the «end of the day» («the day’s end») in Kurmanji and not the word «west». The confusion over its meaning arises for two main reasons. The first is that in the Sorani or Central dialect of the Kurdish language the word roj is only used to refer to the day. The second is that Rojava connotes or suggests the direction of the west, where the sun is seen to set when the day ends. The Siege on Ayn Al-Arab or Kobani Despite the fact that neither the Syrian military nor the Syrian government controls most of Syrian Kurdistan and that a significant amount of the locals there have declared themselves neutral, the forces of the Free Syrian Army, Al-Nusra, and the ISIL (DAISH) have launched a multiparty war on Rojava’s mosaic of inhabitants. It has only been in late-2014 that this war on Western Kurdistan has gained international attention as the Syrian Kurds in the in Aleppo Governate’s northeastern district (mintaqah) of Ayn Al-Arab (Ain Al-Arab) became surrounded by the ISIL in late-September and early-October. As this happened, the behaviour of the US and its allies, specifically the neo-Ottomanist Turkish government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, exposed their true objectives in Rojava and Syria. By the time that the Syrian Kurds in northeastern Aleppo Governate were being encircled by the ISIL, it was clear that Washington and its counterfeit anti-ISIL coalition were actually using the ISIL outbreak to redraw the strategic and ethno-confessional maps of Syria and Iraq. Many of the Syrian Kurds think that the goal is to force them eastward into Iraqi Kurdistan and to surrender to Turkish domination. Fears of another exodus in Syria—similar to the one that was felt when Turkey assisted Jubhat Al-Nusra’s violent takeover of the mostly ethnic Armenian town of Kasab (Kessab) in Latakia Governate in March 2014—began to materialize. Nearly 200,000 Syrians—Kurds, Turkoman, Assyrians, Armenians, and Arabs—fled across the Syrian-Turkish border. By October 9, one-third of Ayn Al-Arab had fallen to the pseudo-caliphate. The Stances of the US over Kobani Exposes Washington’s Objectives Washington’s stance on Ayn Al-Arab or Kobani was very revealing of where it really stood in regards to the battle over control of the Syrian border city. Instead of preventing the fall of Kobani and supporting the local defenders which were doing the heavy fighting on the ground against the ISIL and containing its pseudo-caliphate, Washington did not move. The US position on Kobani is an important indicator that the US war initiated against the ISIL has been mere bravado and a fictitious public relations stunt aimed at hiding the real objective of getting a strategic foothold inside Syrian territory. When the ISIL attacked the forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraqi Kurdistan in August 2014, the US acted quickly to help the KRG’s forces. In July, a month after the June capture of the Iraqi city of Mosul by the ISIL, which coincided with the military takeover of the oil-rich city of Kirk by the KRG, the ISIL began its siege of Kobani in Rojava. Up until October, the US just watched. Even more revealing, the Pentagon announced on October 8 that the US-led bombing campaign in Syria, which it formally named Operation Inherent Resolve on October 15, could not stop the ISIL offensive and advances against Kobani and its local defenders. Instead the US began arguing and insisting for more illegal steps to be taken by NATO member Turkey. Washington began to call for Turkish soldiers and tanks to enter Kobani and northern Syria. In turn, President Erdogan and the Turkish government said that Ankara would only send in the Turkish military if a no-fly zone was established over Syria by the US and the other members of Washington’s bogus coalition. Repackaging Plans for Northern Buffer Zone in Syria Using Kobani to make a case, the US and Turkish governments took the opportunity to repackage their plans for an invasion of Syria from 2011, which called for the establishment of a Turkish-controlled northern buffer zone and a no-fly zone over Syrian airspace. This time the plans were presented under the humanitarian pretext of peacekeeping. This is why the parliamentarians in the Turkish Grand National Assembly had passed legislation authorizing an invasion of the Syrian Arab Republic and Syrian Kurdistan on October 2, 2014. Although Turkey passed legislature to invade Syria on October 2, Ankara remained cautious. In reality, Turkey was doing everything in its power to ensure that Kobani would fall into the control of the ISIL and that Kobani’s local defenders would be defeated. Due to a lack of coordination between the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) and Turkish law enforcement officials, a domestic scandal even emerged in Turkey when undercover MIT trucks were detained in Adana by the Turkish gendarmerie after they were caught secretly transporting arms and ammunition into Syria for Al-Nusra and other anti-government insurgents. In the context of Kobani, numerous reports were made revealing that large weapon shipments were delivered to the heavily armed battalions of the ISIL by Turkey for the offensive on Kobani. One journalist, Serena Shim, would pay for her life for trying to document this. Shim, a Lebanese-American working for Iran’s English-language Press TV news network, would reveal that weapons were secretly being delivered to the insurgents in Syria through Turkey in trucks carrying the logo of the UN World Food Organization. Shim would be killed shortly after in a mysterious car accident on October 19 after being threatened by the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) for spying for the «Turkish opposition». To hide its direct hands as a facilitator, the Turkish government began claiming that it could not control its borders or prevent foreign fighters from entering Iraq and Syria. This, however, changed with the battle for Kobani. Ankara began to exercise what appeared to be faultless control of its border with Syria and it even reinforced border security. Turkey, which is widely recognized for allowing Jabhat Al-Nusra and the other foreign-backed insurgent forces to freely cross its borders to fight the Syrian military, began prevented any Kurdish volunteers from crossing the Syrian-Turkish border over to Kobani to help the besieged Syrian city and its outnumbered defenders. Only under intense domestic and international pressure did the Turkish government finally let one hundred and fifty token KRG peshmerga troops from Iraqi Kurdistan enter Kobani on November 1, 2014. Turkey Takes Note of Syria’s Friends The Syrian government rejected the suggestions coming from Ankara and Washington for foreign ground troops on its territory and for the establishment of a northern buffer zone. Damascus said these were intentions for blatant aggression against Syria. It released a statement on October 15 saying that it would consult its «friends». In context of the US-Turkish invasion plans, the Turkish government was monitoring the reactions and attitudes of Russia, Iran, China, and the independent segments of the international community not beholden to Washington’s foreign policy objective. Both the Kremlin and Tehran reacted by warning the Turkish government to forget any thoughts about sending ground troops into Syrian Kurdistan and on Syrian soil. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Lukashevych, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, announced that Moscow opposed the calls for a northern buffer zone on October 9. Lukashevych said that neither Turkey nor the US had the authority or legitimacy to establish a buffer zone against the will of another sovereign state. He also pointed out how the US bombardment of Syria had complicated the problem and influenced the ISIL to concentrate itself among civilian populations. His words echoed the warnings of Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, the permanent representative of Russia to the UN, that the US-led bombings of Syria will further degenerate the crisis in Syria. On the part of Tehran, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian publicly announced that Iran had warned the Turkish government against any adventurism in Syria. Why has Operation Inherent Resolve made the ISIL Stronger in Syria? Is it a coincidence that the ISIL or DAISH gained ground in Syria as soon as the US declared war on it? Or is it a coincidence that Rojava contains most the oil wells inside Syria? The inhabitants and resistance in Kobani fighting the ISIL offensive have repeatedly asked for outside help, but have defined the US-led airstrikes in Syria in no uncertain terms as utterly useless. This has been the general observation from the actual ground about the illegal US-led campaign of Syria by local paramilitary and civilian leaders. Locally-selected officials in Syrian Kurdistan have repeatedly said, in one form or another, that the US-led airstrikes are a failure. The People’s Protection Units (Yekineyen Parastina Gel, YPG [the all-female units are called YPJ]) of Kobani made multiple statements pointed out that the US bombing campaign did nothing to stop the ISIL advanced on Kobani or throughout Syria. While calling for Kurdish unity and a united front between Syria, Iraq, and Iran against the pseudo-caliphate of the ISIL, Jawan Ibrahim, an YPG officer, has said that the US and its anti-ISIL coalition are a failure as far as the YPG and Syrian Kurds are concerned, according to Fars News Agency (FNA). Before the US officially inaugurated its campaign in Syria by lunching airstrikes on Al-Raqqa, the ISIL’s fighters had left the positions that the US and its petro-sheikhdom Arab allies bombed. Instead of bombing the ISIL, the US has been bombing Syrian industrial and civilian infrastructure. While saying that some of these bombings, which include civilian homes and a wheat silo, were mistakes, it is clear that the Pentagon strategy of eroding an enemy state’s strength by destroying its infrastructure is being applied against Syria. After heavy criticism and international pressure, the US began to drop token medical supplies and arms shipments for the locals and Kobani’s local defenders. Some of these US arms got into the hands of the ISIL. The Pentagon says this was the result of miscalculations and that the ISIL were not the intended recipients. Skeptics, however, believe that the Pentagon deliberately parachuted the US weapons near places that the ISIL’s battalions could easily see and obtain them. The arms caches included hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and ammunition, which were all displayed in at least one video produced by the ISIL during the battle for Kobani. In parallel to the reluctant help of the US, the Turkish government was pressured into allowing a token number of KRG peshmerga fighters from Iraq cross its border into Kobani on November 1. These pershmerga, however, are part of the security forces of the corrupt, Turkish-aligned KRG. In other words, «Turkey’s Kurds» (as in their allies; not to be mistaken for Turkish Kurds) were allowed to enter Kobani (instead of the YPG, YPJ, or volunteers). Since Turkey’s detrimental role in Kobani became widely known, Ankara was also fearful that the fall of Kobani would effectively end the peace talks between the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Turkish government and result in a massive revolt in Turkish Kurdistan. Useless US Bombing War Against the ISIL or Stealth US War Against Syria? The US-led bombing campaign is not intended to defeat the ISIL, which is also doing everything it can to destroy the fabrics of Syrian society. The US-led bombing campaign in Syria is intended to weaken and destroy Syria as a functioning state. This is why the US has been bombing Syrian energy facilities and infrastructure, including transport pipes, under the excuse of preventing the ISIL from using it to sell oil and gather revenues. The US rationale for justifying this is bogus too, because the ISIL has been transporting stolen Syrian oil shipments through transport vehicles into Turkey and, unlike the case of Iraq, not using the transport pipes. Moreover, most the oil stolen by the ISIL has been coming from Iraq and not from Syria, but the US has not taken the same steps to destroy the energy infrastructure in Iraq. Additionally, the purchases of stolen oil from both Syria and Iraq have taken place at the level of state actors. Even the European Union’s own representative to Iraq, Jana Hybaskova, has admitted that European Union members are buying stolen Iraqi oil from the ISIL. The Pentagon’s two different approaches, one for Iraq and one for Syria, say a lot about what Washington is doing in the Syrian Arab Republic. Washington is still going after Syria and in the process it and Turkey wants to either co-opt the Syrian Kurds or to neutralize them. This is why the battle for Kobani was launched with Turkish involvement and why there was inaction by the US government. Also, when it comes down to it, the ISIL or DAISH is a US weapon. The Syrian government knows that the Washington’s anti-ISIL coalition is a façade and that the masquerade could end with a US-led offensive against Damascus if the US government and Pentagon believe that the conditions are right. On November 6, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Al-Muallem told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar that Syria had asked the Russian Federation to accelerate the delivery of the S-300 anti-aircraft surface-to-air missile system to prepare for a possible Pentagon offensive.

The threat of military escalation in Ukraine has raised fears of a relapse to the era before ...achev, when East and West faced each other with nuclear deterrence. ‘’We could get to a horrible bloodshed in Europe,’’ said Gorbachev o http://www.cinemaforpeace-foundation.com/gorbachev-warns-of-terrible-bloodshedor n the weekend with regards to Ukraine, which is in danger of breaking apart. The Cinema for Peace Foundation and Gorbachev‘s New Policy Forum will align in Berlin with politicians, conflict and peace researchers and dedicated artists for the Symposium ‚‘The World 25 Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall - New Crisis, New Doubts, New Walls‘‘ on November 8&9. The symposium will discuss such question as „From Cold War I to Cold War II - what went wrong?“ and possible solutions. The New Policy Forum is one of the most modern think tanks in Russia. Cinema for Peace uses the medium of film to promote peaceful conflict resolution and intercultural understanding. On the subject of Russia, Cinema for Peace co-produced the award-winning film ‘’Letter to Anna’’ about Anna Politkoskaya and invited the group „Pussy Riot“ to the Olympic Games in Sochi, Hollywood, Brussels and Washington. Currently the Cinema for Peace Foundation is organizing screenings in Eastern Ukraine of the movie „Inseparable“, which deals with love and understanding between Ukrainians and Russians. Those responsible for the End of the First Cold War, Gorbachev, Hans-Dietrich Genscher and Miklos Nemeth among others, will come together on the weekend of the Fall of the Berlin Wall to discuss solutions with scientists and decision makers on how to prevent a Second Cold War. Gorbachev will be supported by directors and artists such as Uma Thurman and Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom he introduced the so-called „Green Oscar“ at the Cinema for Peace Gala. Among the artists who are supporting Gorbachev is also Tom Hanks, who will be shooting a Cold War thriller in Berlin and who is developing a film about Mikhail Gorbachev. In the past, many representatives in the world of film like Steven Spielberg and George Clooney as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone have joined Gorbachev in his mission. Gorbachev currently criticized that despite several announcements no humanitarian corridors for civilians have been established in the war zones of eastern Ukraine. Schools and hospitals were destroyed: „Everything must be done to ensure that the mutual killing stops; it is one nation.“ said Gorbachev. The United Nations, the EU and the conflict parties themselves are entitled to take on a crucial role in conflict resolution, emphasized the politician. The symposium does not only intend to discuss solutions for this current crisis, but also to discuss fundamental reforms to develop international mechanisms to avoid wars and conflicts. Germany and chancellor Angela Merkel may have the opportunity to take a lead with the German G7-presidency in 2015. For the last G8 summit in Germany, when Putin was still a respected member, Cinema for Peace produced with Richard Curtis („Mr. Bean“, „Notting Hill“) the primetime movie ‘’Suddenly Gina’’ starring Jan Josef Liefers, Catherine Deneuve and Iris Berben as chancellor, who campaigns for specific peace measures worldwide. Im traurigen Monat November wars, da feierte Deutschland einen trügerischen Sieg über eine bessere Vergangenheit. Für eine bessere Zukunft zu sorgen bleibt uns Gebot! Im traurigen Monat November wars, Die Tage wurden trüber, Der Wind riß von den Bäumen das Laub, Da reist ich nach Deutschland hinüber. Und als ich an die Grenze kam, Da fühlt ich ein stärkeres Klopfen In meiner Brust, ich glaube sogar Die Augen begunnen zu tropfen. Und als ich die deutsche Sprache vernahm, Da ward mir seltsam zu Mute; Ich meinte nicht anders, als ob das Herz Recht angenehm verblute. Ein kleines Harfenmädchen sang. Sie sang mit wahrem Gefühle Und falscher Stimme, doch ward ich sehr Gerühret von ihrem Spiele. Sie sang das alte Entsagungslied, Das Eiapopeia vom Himmel, Womit man einlullt, wenn es greint, Das Volk, den großen Lümmel. Ich kenne die Weise, ich kenne den Text, Ich kenn auch die Herren Verfasser; Ich weiß, sie tranken heimlich Wein Und predigten öffentlich Wasser. Ein neues Lied, ein besseres Lied, O Freunde, will ich Euch dichten! Wir wollen hier auf Erden schon Das Himmelreich errichten. Wir wollen auf Erden glücklich sein, Und wollen nicht mehr darben; Verschlemmen soll nicht der faule Bauch Was fleißige Hände erwarben. http://www.pinselpark.org/literatur/h/heine/poem/imtraurigen.html Für die Realisierung der Heineschen Fantasie braucht es Geduld und Beharrlichkeit, den er besang die kommenden, glücklicheren Zustände schon vor über 170 Jahren. Im Herbst 1843 reiste Heinrich Heine von Paris nach Hamburg. Unzufrieden mit den politischen Zuständen in seiner Heimat und seiner persönlichen Situation als Deutscher und Jude, verfasste er als Reisebilder eine Anklageschrift gegen Zensur, Militarismus und Restauration, die 1844 im Verlag Hoffmann & Campe erschien. Was hier zunächst als genauer Reisebericht über eine Reise daherkam, entpuppte sich auf den zweiten Blick als eine bissige politische Satire - ein Epos voller satirischer Spitzen gegen den reaktionären preussischen Staat. Das mokante Werk barg viel Brisanz in sich. Schon im gleichen Jahr wurde »Deutschland. Ein Wintermärchen« in Preußen verboten und beschlagnahmt – doch umso höher schlugen die Wellen.

__label__cc	0.643114	0.356886	Quark VS InDesign Creative Suite Plugins/Xtensions Quark: ‘No Comment’ By Admin: quarkvsindesign Comments: Comments off If you’ve been following this story, you know it began with startling allegations leveled against Quark by a confidential source within Quark’s U.S. operations. On 5 August 2007 Quark VS InDesign.com published the claims of the “Source”: that Quark was laying off personnel, that it was spending more money than it should on executive perks, that QuarkXPress 7 was drastically underselling projections. To answer those allegations, I interviewed new president and CEO Ray Schiavone who confirmed that Quark had dismissed an unspecified number of personnel—bizarrely, Schiavone claimed that the layoffs didn’t actually happen until days after Quark VS InDesign.com published that they had, and that I couldn’t have known about them ahead of time despite irrefutable fact to the contrary. As to the other claims, Schiavone was even less specific in his denials, though deny them he did. During my first interview with Schiavone, which occurred on 8 August 2007 following the employee briefing wherein Schiavone reportedly broke the then-not-so-new-news that personnel had been laid off, I asked about a number of topics beyond, but inspired by, the allegations of the Source—topics like QuarkXPress 8, whether Quark has ceded the war for desktops to InDesign, and whether Schiavone wanted to take the privately-held Quark, Inc. public. By mutual agreement, Schiavone and I decided to speak again and in more depth about those subjects before publication. The format agreed to was e-mail—I would provide Quark with a 20-questions-style selection of follow up questions, and Schiavone would respond in writing; any subsequently lingering points would then be clarified by telephone and/or e-mail. As expressed by MacLean Guthrie, director of Quark’s corporate communications and a party to my initial interview of Schiavone, Quark seemed just as interested in pursuing the second interview as they were the first. Of course, that was before the first interview was actually published. [For the record: Quark reviewed and confirmed every quote and fact in the “Quark Responds to ‘Quark Insider’” story prior to its publication. —Editor] Unfortunately, the follow up questions, questions which Quark was initially anxious to answer, will go largely unanswered. Apparently that is because I failed to accept and regurgitate everything Schiavone said as gospel—something other writers desperate to garner favor with Quark were only too happy to do. By presenting a fair article that balanced the specific allegations of the Source with the light-on-fact retorts of Schiavone, and asking you, the reader, to make up your own mind, I have evidently broken the First Commandment, and as a consequence have apparently been excommunicated (again) from the divine grace of the Kingdom of Quark. After three weeks of Guthrie’s delays and excuses, I had given up hope that Schiavone ever intended to address the questions I furnished to Quark on 15 August 2007. Last week I gave Schiavone one final chance to have his say. Though Schiavone was dynamic and garrulous in defending himself and his New Quark against the allegations of the Source, in this opportunity to put Quark’s best face forwarded he answers minimally and tersely, if at all. Of course, any astute observer knows that what one doesn’t say is often more telling than what is said. 20 Questions for Ray Schiavone Quark is a company with a lot of history (some might say baggage) and ingrained attitudes. You must have known that going into the job. How did the company greet you? What have you been doing to change the so-called “Old Quark” corporate culture? RAY SCHIAVONE My approach has been 100 percent customer-centric. I’ve worked to empower every employee to play an active role in our customers’ success. I believe that there are only two jobs in the company: Sales and sales support. This philosophy gets everyone outwardly focused, and if any employee is capable of helping with customer issues, they’re called upon. Can you tell us a little about some of the people you’ve brought in to help with the New Quark, why you chose them? RS: We’ve built a team that has proven expertise in turning around companies, expanding businesses in new global territories, developing products in new vertical markets, and generally leading companies to success. For example, Graham Freeman was a former Adobe Sales SVP who realigned Adobe’s worldwide sales operations. Jim Haggarty has introduced strategic technology plans and built world-class infrastructures for companies across diverse industries. And as VP of marketing Terry Welty led the repositioning of Arbortext, helping to turn the company around as the leader in enterprise publishing software. Congratulations on the new office in Silicon Valley. Loud complaints by English-speaking customers about non-native English-speakers in customer service and technical support. A workforce reduction in India. A new office in Santa Clara, Calif. Are you moving all of Quark’s English language telephone support and service back to the U.S., or only some of it? RS: Our goal is to maintain customer support centers in the US, Europe, and India so that our customers virtually have 24-hour support. When operations close for the evening in one region, our technical teams in another region can work on resolving any outstanding issues. We want to be even more timely and effective in addressing our customers’ issues this way. We’re looking at how to further expand our customer support in the U.S. When can Quark’s customers expect the phone to ring in California instead of Mohali? Will that be by the end of 2007, or by Spring 2008? RS: Customer support in Denver will begin this fall, and we will continue to have a customer support team in India and Neuchatel [ Switzerland]. During our previous conversation you several times used the word “restructuring”—particularly in relation to recent layoffs, hirings, and shifting of positions between departments. It’s all rather vague, though. How are you restructuring Quark? Into what are you restructuring it? RS: I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase before, “Change before you have to.” Every smart company has to heed this advice to stay competitive. As a company evolves, it needs to align its assets in order to capitalize on future market opportunities. And that’s what we’ve done. Quark is focused on our customers’ future. While we continue to add value to QuarkXPress and maintain our commitment to our desktop customers, we are expanding in the enterprise market and in other new growth areas. In order to do this, we’re putting additional resources behind our strategic growth products. We’ve heard that, during a senior staff meeting in Spring 2007, you reportedly said: “QuarkXPress has lost against InDesign. That fight is over.” Is that how you feel? Has Quark given up the fight for the desktop publishing market?

His first was a half-volley from just beyond the penalty spot and his second was the result of a nice Joey Zorbo assist which allowed Uy to dink the ball past the United keeper. The Rocks controlled the second half and Zorbo beat the offside trap to slot home and make it 3-0, before Santiago Rigby scored brilliantly after an excellent one-two move with Joe Connolly. “I’m happier with our performance today,” said Grogan. “We worked on a few things at training and I feel that showed out there today. We have two wins from two now but I really believe next week’s game at Polonia is a true six-pointer that we have to focus on.” Both teams observed a minute silence prior to the game in memory of Seamus McPartland, father of past president and club stalwart Kevin. Unfortunately, Joe Connolly was taken to hospital with a bad head wound, but he was treated and released Sunday evening. Earlier, the reserves were outstanding in their 6-0 victory with goals from Darren Coleman (2), Leo Nizzi (2), Colum McComish and a screamer from Isaac Hidalgo which opened the scoring. “I was delighted with the clean sheet,” said reserves coach Stevie Doyle. “We didn’t start the game well but we came into it and took our chances when they arrived in the second half. It was also good to see that a few lads came in to stake their claim for a starting spot.” Rocks 1960 made it three wins from three in Metro 2, coming from 1-0 down and 2-1 down to get all three points against Afghanistan and make it a perfect September for their inaugural campaign. A Dave Harvey penalty brought the Rocks back to 1-1 while Neil Mannion made it 2-2 with a tap-in after a Harvey free. The winner was an own goal thanks to pressure from Ciarán Moloney. “We battled well today,” said 1960 coach Connolly. “It wasn’t easy and they made us really work for it but results like this will really stand to us in the spring. When we got the ball down and played our style, we were well on top but it still needed a bit of grit to edge them out.” The Over 30s were 4-0 up against Westchester Dinamo at Randall’s Island on Sunday morning when their opponents threw in the towel at half-time. Sean Riley scored twice while Tayfun Gokmen and Matteo Stiglich were the other goal scorers. The Legends were also at Randall’s Island on Sunday morning, drawing 4-4 against Banatul to notch their first league point of the season. Randall Friedman opened the scoring with a header, Ger Shivnan added a pair of goals - his first for the club - and Eddie Gilmartin scored from the penalty spot. “We deserved a win but we’ll take the draw,” said coach Emmett Harvey. “It’s a confidence booster and I think we proved to ourselves that we’re starting to get a bit of shape. We’ll push on to next week and build on this one.” Elsewhere, a half-time speech for the ages from coach Paddy Geraghty roused the Rocks Women to come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against Phoenix at East 6th St. In doing so, they were winning their second game in a row for the first time as they moved to 2-1 in the Metro Women’s League. Top scorer Sinead Hennessy was on fire again adding two goals to her season’s tally of along with a Jackie Pounder effort overturning a 2-0 deficit to earn the Rocks Women a 3-2 win, their second of the season. “We were down at halftime 2-0 so we needed to be more focused,” said co-player-manager Tricia Reed. “Paddy delivered a memorable speech and that got us were fired up.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25679

An audit found that the state did not adequately monitor programs at the local level: The federal government is not happy with how New Hampshire accounted for millions in educational grants since 2014, and could demand that some of the money be repaid, depending on the result of an audit to be conducted early next year. “Our estimate is that a little more than $3 million is at risk,” Commissioner of Education Frank Edelblut said. “Obviously we know a good bit of that was spent correctly, but can we substantiate that? We don’t know what will be clawed back or not clawed back…” In 2014, the U.S. Department of Education issued new guidance on how state education officials should account for the distribution of federal education dollars to local school districts. Several states, including New Hampshire, were audited to determine how they were complying. The review concluded that the state did not adequately monitor federally funded programs at the local level or have accounting systems in place to ensure compliance with federal requirements by local school districts. “This lack of fiscal oversight creates a significant risk that (local school districts) could mismanage federal programs, resulting in potential unallowable expenditures or instances of waste, fraud, or abuse,” according to the “Pilot Fiscal Review” from the federal Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The audit also found that the Department of Education did not follow federal guidelines for reporting on payments to staff for grant administration: The department determined a fixed amount from each grant for administration in its annual budget, and deducted the funds accordingly, in violation of the federal guidelines. “Part of this uniform guidance clearly established that all personnel expenditures must be supported by records that accurately reflect the work performed,” said Edelblut. “It clearly says that budget estimates alone do not support the charges.” Each pay period, NHDOE would allocate the total salary charged for each employee to individual programs according to the pre-determined percentages, with no after-the-fact evaluation as to whether the charges accurately reflected the actual time worked by the employee on activities related to any single program. Edelblut, a CPA with extensive background in financial management, has since changed the accounting method. “Employees now keep track of the hours they work on programs; we charge the programs for the level of effort expended; and we support that with the underlying documentation for the time claimed,” he said.

__label__wiki	0.53623	0.53623	The Abduction of Antonio Villas Boas Abduction of Antonio Villas Boas is the first abduction case ever years before Betty and Barny Hill. The most impressive alien abduction case dates to 1957 in Brazil. At the time of his alleged abduction, Antonio Villas Boas was a 23-year-old Brazilian farmer who was working at night to avoid the hot temperatures of the day. On October 16, 1957, he was ploughing fields near São Francisco de Sales when he saw what he described as a "red star" in the night sky. According to his story, this "star" approached his position, growing in size until it became recognizable as a roughly circular or egg-shaped aerial craft, with a red light at its front and a rotating cupola on top. The craft began descending to land in the field, extending three "legs" as it did so. At that point, Boas decided to run from the scene. According to Boas, he first attempted to leave the scene on his tractor, but when its lights and engine died after traveling only a short distance, he decided to continue on foot. However, he was seized by a 1.5 m (five-foot) tall humanoid, who was wearing grey coveralls and a helmet. Its eyes were small and blue, and instead of speech it made noises like barks or yelps. Three similar beings then joined the first in subduing Boas, and they dragged him inside their craft. Location of São Francisco de Sales, Minas Gerais, Brazil Once inside the craft, Boas said that he was stripped of his clothes and covered from head-to-toe with a strange gel. He was then led into a large semicircular room, through a doorway that had strange red symbols written over it.

After this he was then taken to a third room and left alone for around half an hour.

As you may know a triangle Ufo was witnessed by many military staff to have landed within RAF Bentwaters and this was validated by both Radar and military staff It was no surprise why - The base a secret outpost for the US military Nuclear weapons defense station -thus the common ufo nuclear weapons connection. I have also been asked to request that anyone involved in the incident to please read this letter about the 30th reunion organised for next year Ufos in NorthHampton United Kingdom April 2009 Ufo Ufos reported in NorthHampton April 15th 2009.If you live in these areas are saw ufos recently please respond to this post. Roswell: The UFO UncoverUp - a 62 year secret Its been over 62 years since the roswell Ufo incident back in 1947 . Over 10 deathbed confessions from people who witnessed the & participated in event have come out over the past decade (just showing you how worried they were about being sworn to secrecy on what happened). I think we have heard well enough to know it was real crash of ufo craft. Most disturbingly - if the US government has been able to keep this secret for this long just what else have they been hiding from us?

Warnings for passenger aircraft - geomagentic storms With again more recent passenger aircraft crashes this month , this time in Iran and the Venezuela aircraft incident i am again reminding everyone of the warning scientists are giving about earths magnetosphere effecting aircraft. These magnetic storms can not be predicted and are appearing all over earth just recently. Many aircraft companies are aware of this but do not which to cause alarm and panic in the already struggling ariline industry. Of concern is that Airbus planes which use 'fly by the wire' fully computerised technologies may be more susceptible to these EMF disturbances compared Boeing aircraft which use less computer controlled systems. There are numerous theories for why the magnetosphere is playing up - techtonic changes, the solar cycle as we approach 2012, the hypothetical influence of Planet X. Russian Air Force Commanders have issued warnings to all of their aircraft to exercise “extreme caution” during flights “in and around” an area defined as Latitude 17 North [North Atlantic Ocean] Latitude 3 South [South Atlantic Ocean] to Latitude 8 North [Indian Ocean] Latitude 19 South [Indian Ocean] between the Longitudes of 46 West, 33 West, 46 East and 33 East, and which covers the greater part of the African Tectonic Plate. An urgent note is that Magnetospheric disturbances are only going to increase as well as we approach 2012 and will become a massive problem as predicted by NASA: 12 mile long Arctic goo life form in Alaska A mysterious glob of unknown material up to 12 miles long has appeared off Alaska's northern coast.

Farmer arrested for crop circle shooting (photo source - Daily Mail) A warning to all those out there checking out crop circles - a farmer to shoot people entering one! Guess they are unhappy with all their crop being ruined. The 62-year-old reportedly hid in a tent in the centre of the circle before jumping out and firing over the heads of a group of tourists, thought to be from Norway. The incident happened following the appearance of a crop circle in fields close to the village of Allington, near Devizes, Wiltshire.The group of tourists fled and called police, who sent armed officers and a helicopter to the scene at around 2pm on Monday. The 300ft crop circle is thought to be of an ancient bird. Nearby Cannings Cross Farm lost thousands of pounds worth of crops in 2007 after a 500ft pattern appeared in a field.Wiltshire Police said a 62-year-old man, from Oldham in Lancashire, had been arrested for possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

Here's whats been said: We spotted what appears to be a particularly special VMC image we'd like you to look at. In the pictures from 2 July we were flying over the huge volcano chain on Mars, the Tharsis Montes. We spotted what appears to be an extremely long and thin cloud trailing from near the peak of the southernmost volcano, Arsia Mons, and we'd love to hear what you have to say about it! The Observation: VMC observed the pictures around 09:00 UTC on 2 July and they were transmitted to Earth and then posted onto the blog on 8 July. The images show a rotated view of Mars, with the North Pole to the top right of the image, and the South Pole to the bottom left. Load up the Celestia Script to see exactly where. The three dark spots to the left of the image are the three Tharsis Montes, from left to right: Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons and Ascraeus Mons. The cloud is the small white streak running diagonally from Arsia Mons on the left towards the top left of the image. At the time the image was taken Mars Express was at an altitude of around 6500 km, and VMC conducted a 30-minute observation, capturing 34 images of Mars.

The show has been responsible for bringing the Ufo topic back into interest and they have done alot of good. The History channel is making a major mistake by canning the excellent show. The show has gained a cult following and the show has brought ufology to the public domain. Its a sad day when pity current affairs and reality shows (which are geared towards the short term concentration of most of the public) and more sought after than proper investigative and truth finding work. Just shows you the level of consciousness most people are at at the moment. I highly suggest you support the great show that was the ufo hunters by looking and sharing their dvds with friends and family - its a great education & investigation into important ufo events that should not be forgotten. Season 2 Ufo Hunters on DVD : Ufo documentary - Miracle of the Unknown This is an old documentary from Australia you may have not seen. Still relevant to today , it deals with various subjects in Ufo research and history remaining parts The Journey: The UFO Case Of Anthony Woods For the past few years Anthony Woods has somehow attracted UFOs on a scale unprecedented in history. Over one year in the making, this program tells the remarkable story of his efforts to record some of the most extraordinary UFO footage ever seen. Col Charles Halt confirms Rendlesham incident caused by Ets great article from the star paper: AN Air Force official has finally admitted Britain’s biggest UFO mystery was caused by aliens. The high-ranking US officer claimed the Rendlesham Forest air base incident, which happened in 1980, was later covered up. Former Deputy Base Commander Col Charles Halt said “extra-terrestrials” caused the close encounter in Suffolk. He led a group of airmen who reported seeing a triangular UFO taking off into the air, leaving traces of radiation behind. Col Halt, now retired, told investigator Gary Heseltine: “The UFOs I saw were structured machines moving under intelligent control and operating beyond the realm of anything I have ever seen before or since. “I believe the objects that I saw at close quarters were extra-terrestrial in origin.” He added that the Air Force later issued “dis-information” to throw the public off the scent. His comments were hailed as “sensational” by former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope. Mr Pope said: “This may help us to finally solve Britain’s biggest UFO mystery. “It blows the MoD’s line that these events had ‘no defence significance’ out of the water.” Source read more Also if you were involved in the RAF Bentwaters Rendlesham event your invited to attend the reunion of the event .. see here HQ Apollo 11 tapes now confirmed by NASA As previously mentioned the missing high definition moon landing tapes have been found by NASA. This has now been confirmed by NASA in an official statement this month. I find the whole idea of the most important videos ever filmed going 'missing' for 40 years just ridiculous and must be treated as highly suspicious. This means they have had over 40 years to manipulate with these high quality tapes. Its quite convenient i must say for them to be released just now: Rumors have been flying around the Internet for weeks that NASA, after years of searching, had discovered the original recordings of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's lunar excursion — which the space agency once feared had been accidentally destroyed. The tapes had been found in a storage facility in the basement of a building on a university campus in Perth, Australia. Monday's statement appeared to confirm that report, stating that the footage comes from what is "believed to be the best available broadcast-format copies of the lunar excursion, some of which had been locked away for nearly 40 years." Back on July 20, 1969, the raw video feed from the moon was beamed to the Parkes Observatory radio telescope in southeastern Australia, as well as two other radio telescopes in Australia and California. The feed was then compressed and sent to Mission Control in Houston. Because of 'technical issues', NASA's images couldn't be fed directly to the American TV networks. article source -read more Behind Ufo Hunters - Bios of the crew As you know the show is no more ... but here are some interesting Bios from the Ufo hunters - who they are and how they got into Ufos & the show Made in china or the real thing ? - chinese Ufo reports in 2009 China - as you know its well known for its toys and electrical goods.... - do you think these reports from China are legit Ufos or just some remote controlled device they are making?

Japan UFO Photo Declared REAL by Expert allnewsweb A photographer who took scenic shots on assignment for a Japanese hotel and tourism group last year noticed what appeared to be a fairly clear UFO in a number of the shots. Judging by the photos the UFO was moving on a sequential trajectory (Photo below). The photographer, an employee of the Mutsumi Mori Group showed a number of fellow workers the images. They all felt that it might show a flying saucer and encouraged the photographer to take the images to a local UFO expert. The object was subsequently declared to be a UFO. The image was captured in the Ise-Shima National park, a popular tourist region known for its natural beauty on Honshu Island.

Source article Report - 'Cone' Ufo lands on a ranch in California on the 5th July Interesting Ufo report brought up by colin andrews Three California witnesses had an unusual experience during and after they watched a30-foot-long and 20-foot-tall cone-shaped object with portholes that had either landed or was hovering slightly above their ranch, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database. A fourth witness arrived later and was there for the final event. The original three witnesses first noticed a “bluish light.” But looking closer, it was described as “actually portholes that were illuminated from within. There were three on the bottom in a row, one above-right/center, above that one was another single illuminated porthole left-center and then two on the top.” The object was between 300 and 400 feet away at it was hovering silently at ground After watching for five minutes, they grabbed a few items and got into a truck to move toward it, but then noticed that the object “was just gone.” They believe the object may also have landed. They returned to the scene 20 minutes later, and heard a series of “click” sounds coming from the trees around them. They moved away from the area. Then a fourth witness stopped by to examine the area, and they “witnessed an extremely bright 'swish' in the western sky.” What followed was the appearance “as if the atmosphere ‘opened up’ for a millisecond and an object ‘went inside’ or poked through and then the atmosphere closed up leaving a ‘swirling’ motion in the sky. A ‘wormhole’ or porthole’?” Continue reading news from Colins Site here NASA STS-88 black debris or something else?

Study Finds Gender Differences in Giving Across Racial Groups Gender differences in charitable giving patterns appear consistent across racial/ethnic groups, a report from the Women's Philanthropy Institute at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy finds. Based on data from the Philanthropy Panel Study and the U.S. Trust Study of High Net Worth Philanthropy, the report, Women Give 2019: Gender and Giving Across Communities of Color (44 pages, PDF), found that for all racial/ethnic groups in the study — African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic/Latinx Americans, and white Americans — single women were more likely than single men, and married and cohabiting couples were more likely than either single men or single women, to give to charity. The gap between single men and single women was largest among Asian Americans (26.3 percent vs. 56.5 percent) and smallest among Hispanic/Latinx Americans (25.4 percent vs. 28.7 percent). Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the study also found that while a majority of high-net-worth households across all racial/ethnic groups gave to charity, wealthy African Americans were more likely to give (91.6 percent) than were wealthy Asian (84 percent), Hispanic/Latinx (87.7 percent), or white (89.8 percent) Americans. When factors that affect giving, including income, wealth, education, and household size, were taken into consideration, there was no statistically significant relationship between race/ethnicity and giving as a percentage of income. According to the report, households across all racial/ethnicity groups gave to similar causes, with religious organizations and basic needs as the top two issue areas, among both general-population households and high-net-worth households. The study did find racial/ethnic differences in formal volunteering rates, with white (37.7 percent) and Asian Americans (37.4 percent) in the general population more likely to volunteer than were African-American (26.2 percent) and Hispanic/Latinx (25.2 percent). The report notes, however, that there are various reasons why people might volunteer informally instead of formally with a nonprofit organization. What's more, among the wealthy, Hispanic/Latinx individuals (60.2 percent) were more likely to volunteer than were white Americans (48.3 percent), African Americans (45.4 percent), or Asian Americans (38.9 percent). "Women Give 2019 highlights the universality of giving," said Debra J. Mesch, the Eileen Lamb O'Gara Chair in Women's Philanthropy at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. "Women in communities of color may take different pathways to their philanthropy — learning from their families or religious traditions or starting to give later in life.

__label__wiki	0.591751	0.591751	Thayer Family Industries Ledger Call no.: MS 238 The Thayer family operated a small manufacturing complex on the Deerfield River in Charlemont, Massachusetts. Businesses included a sawmill, a foundry, a shop for the manufacture of axes and edged tools, and a tannery. Ledger documents their businesses and reflects the exchange economy of rural Massachusetts. Massachusetts (West) The Thayer family operated a small manufacturing complex on the Deerfield River in Charlemont, Massachusetts. Ruel Thayer, Sr., born in 1785, built a shallow dam on the Deerfield and ran a canal stream which gave power to run a saw mill, a foundry, a shop for the manufacture of axes and edged tools, and a tannery. By 1850, the sawmill and foundry were in the hands of his sons, Alonzo (age 32), David (27), and Ruel, Jr. (25). Alonzo was listed in the census as a farmer, David a sawyer, and Ruel a tinsmith. Boarding with the family was Edmond Kingsley, a millwright, who may have also been employed in the Thayer businesses. The two elder brothers were married; Ruel, Sr., lived with Alonzo; Ruel, Jr. and Kingsley with David. The ledger documents the activities of the Thayer businesses between 1847 and 1855, but the bulk of the entries cover only 1848 to 1851. Their accounts reflect the exchange economy of rural Massachusetts. The brothers accepted iron, wood, textiles, farm produce, and labor, in addition to cash in the settlement of accounts. The brothers also exchanged work with several of the other local businesses, including Cudworth & McCullough (tanners), David Crittendon (shinglemaker), Whitman & Upton (wagonmakers), H. A. Chambers (filemaker), and Nathaniel Lampson (cutlery manufacturer). Ironically, the Thayer businesses do not show up in the 1850 or the 1860 manufacturing censuses. Nor do they appear in the 1853 Massachusetts Directory. Processed by Ken Fones-Wolf. Encoding funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Cite as: Thayer Family Industries Ledger (MS 238).

__label__cc	0.532974	0.467026	Crossing the Frame Blood Red Summer Hub » Crossing the Frame « Previously: I Care Because You Do If you travelled the multiverse for long enough, you saw the things that never changed no matter where you went. One of those things was inconvenient traffic jams. As I sat in my idling car waiting for the officers to open up the Way to Flipside, a part of me couldn't help but remind me that I was a goddamned Royal Inquisitor of the Eighth Empire of the Broken Goddess, and that traffic laws were for people without a ten-word title appended to their name: in response, I reminded myself that the better part of valour was "not getting your ass handed to you by every Sarkicist looking for a fight in a fifty-mile radius." After what felt like hours of sitting in front of the gate waiting for something to happen, one of the guards shambled over and knelt down to rap on my window. Gingerly I wound it down and looked into its beady eyes: its face looked like it'd been salvaged from bits and pieces donated by charitable citizens who'd died fifty years before this thing was born. The officer coughed and splattered me with phlegm, before clumsily smearing it all over my face with a single limp arm. "Mind showing me your ID, ma'am?" it hissed. I tried to ignore the acid in the spit currently eating through my face and just flashed him the Inquisitor's badge. In response, it fumbled with the badge and flipped it over almost unintentionally, before handing it back to me and giving me a look of what could've been pity or condescension. Behind me, trendy crosses between horses, crows and some marine animal I couldn't identify — maybe a dolphin — stomped their hooves and cawed as they sniffed at my tailpipe, as if they were threatening to take a bite out of it. That combined with the weird looks I was getting from the guards made me rev the engine a little harder, drum my fingers on the steering wheel a little faster — it was too early in the day for pity and too early in the case for anything other than anxiety and speculation. With a dismissive flick of the guard's polyjointed arm I was waved through the entrance, and soon enough I found myself in the giant tunnel known as the Artery Road. One guess as to why they called it that. The tunnel was a roughly cylindrical mass of reddish muscle toughened by years of abuse by cars and Orcadian hooves alike. The one distinct feature inside the otherwise vaguely knobbly hundred-foot circle of darkness was a precisely painted dotted line running straight down the road, before stopping just short of the Way itself. Nobody knew who exactly put it there in the first place, but anyone who drove through the road was silently grateful to them. Every so often, someone would veer off the line after one too many drunken orgies; you tended not to hear much about those people aside from long, grisly horror stories. So I let the troubles of work melt away and focussed on toeing what little I could see of that thin white line, trying not to let the occasional throb of the walls, or the sound of the person behind me cantering on their horse-like abominations throw me too far off the beaten path. As the car approached the Way, the navigational computer began to strobe on and off and my teeth felt like they were vibrating in their sockets, every cell in my body singing in harmony like tiny tuning forks. The outline of its unspace loomed large before me, my already pathetic-looking headlights totally unable to cut through the blackness that made up its entrance. At the familiar sight I braced internally and shut my eyes: the next part was always the worst. Every Door has its Knock and every Way has its Price. This Way's particular toll was a half-litre of blood just dropping out of your system and circulating into the unknown depths of the muscles that comprised the Artery Road. My body hadn't needed blood to function properly for five years and counting at this point in time, yet it still threw every part of my body off-balance when it took its price: first the pricking sensation like a million needles sinking into every part of your body, and then the wave of nausea as the effect of the blood loss sent me into brief shock. When I re-opened my eyes, I opened them not to the crowded pink walls and citadels of Alagadda, but the sleek futurist outlines of Flipside's metal skyline. A warm summer's breeze was blowing, and it was early in the afternoon. Another quirk of the two worlds being diametric opposites meant that their seasons and days also got flipped: every so often, you'd see the (in)famous Alagaddan crimson snow blowing through the Way as city-wide blizzards howled and railed against the buildings on the other side of the portal. As for why it was infamous, remember when I said you needed a half-liter of blood to get through the Way? Trying to relax in my seat and let the auto-pilot take care of the driving, my attempt to laze in the sun was rudely interrupted by a flurry of messages from the Maxwellist intranet that turned the darkness behind my eyelids into an angry sea of flashing red messages I'd missed while I was out. Senders ranged from loose neural net experiments to fellow Inquisitors who'd condescended to use the heretic infrastructure. The thought of the old Luddite Legate-Faithful Brunel being forced to use a terminal was one of the few things to make me smile that day. A few judicious filters later and I'd whittled the six-figure pile of messages fighting for my attention into a more manageable mess of a thousand or so. Sighing, I flicked through them all, scanning for anything of interest — all of them turned out to be typical mundanity, one-week seminars on theological interpretations of Zipporah at the Forge, updates on the samizdat breakout near the Marble District. Nothing pressing that another one of the Inquisitors didn't have the jurisdiction or the firepower to handle. I breathed a sigh of relief and instructed the navcomp to take me to an address down in the Orthodoxy-owned part of the city. As the buildings turned from brutalist steel and concrete buildings to Art Deco factories of brick and brass, I started running through conversational simulations in my mind, reprising old regrets and trying to find a better way to navigate the social minefield that even talking to each other had become in those seven years. Soon enough, though, I gave up on the whole enterprise: I could try to find social maxima and minima all I liked, but eventually I'd have to step out of playing social engineer and actually talk to her. My reverie was broken by the pleasing chime of the navcomp as it informed me I'd reached my destination. I sighed and forced myself out of the car for the day's first social rigmarole. Amitha's workshop was a relatively small building amidst the smog-clouded factories that lined the roads in the Orthodoxy's manufacturing district, tucked away in a deep knot of winding alleyways marked out by the conveyor belts that stretched from road to road. It was one of the few buildings that bothered to give a lick of uniqueness to the nondescript fronts mandated by the scripture, in the form of a subtle gold trim on a couple pillars, her name engraved neatly on the front door and some tasteful floral decorations hanging from the elaborately-styled roof. It was tasteful, simple and almost ascetic in comparison to the Victorian parodies of Ancient Greece that stood around it and it was an almost painful reminder of everything I'd lost with her absence. Taking a deep breath to still myself, I reached my hand up robotically and rapped on the door with three measured knocks. When she opened the door, the familiarity turned my stomach into a tight Klein bottle of nerves. Her hair was still done up in that tight braid of red held together by resistors woven into the braid in some elegant, indecipherable pattern, and her arms were still stained with grease and burn marks from a long day of soldering and welding in her inherited laboratory. Were it not for the assemblage of gears and mechanisms attached to her back and the newly-carved scars under my eyes and on my arms, we would've been the picture-perfect copy of the couple who'd snuck kisses and forbidden literature to one another in that same laboratory a decade or so ago. "Afternoon, Amitha." "Good afternoon, Inquisitor Xiang," she replied evenly. That made it five years since she'd called me "Connie". "Just wanted to drop by and swap pleasantries, or is there something not to your satisfaction here?" I sighed. "…Ms. Vikram. You're not in trouble, I'd just like to have you on as a consultant." The words felt like I was speaking them through a thick gag of formality shoving itself down my mouth. With a brief effort of will, Amitha disengaged whatever was plugged into her back and took the opportunity to come a couple steps closer to me. "And why's it you can't come to someone else for that consultancy, Inquisitor?" "It's a cross-sect case." Noticing her sharp intake of breath, I cut in quickly. "Look, Amitha, gimme the benefit of the doubt here — I'm not so stupid as to go after you cause you're the first convert that came to mind. Problem is there's a lady on the other side of the Way to Alagadda with Legate Trunnion's words drilled into her head via mass driver, and if there's a person who'd know where you could get something like that done, it'd be you." Amitha relaxed and quirked her lip. "Right. So I'm not guilty, I just know enough to be." "Hey, if you think anyone's gonna convict on that alone, you'd be a) right and b) the second person to get dragged to the firing line after me." "So you're doing this… what, out of some misguided belief you're protecting me?" "I like to think I'm doing both me and Ms. Allison Chao over there a service by getting someone who actually knows their shit on the case, but if you want you can think I'm saving both our asses from one count of cross-universal hate crime, sure." She flinched at the name I'd just dropped. The tactic might've been effective for pulling sympathy from civilians when speechifying but I hadn't expected it to be quite that effective. "Allison… black hair, sleeveless top, tattoo right there?" She pointed at a spot on her shoulder. "Eye for details, huh. You'd make a decent cop." "Xiang, shut up." Amitha began to turn and pace towards the back of her workshop. I didn't have a choice but to follow her in. "Are you absolutely sure that's the woman you saw?" "I can literally project the photos I took onto the wall, if it's so important to you. Tell me why." And as the faint sound of sirens in the distance began to make itself known to me, Amitha's face turned into a mask of confusion. "Because she's been waiting right here the entire time."

Manchester United keen on defender, his idol is Vidic, waiting for Red Devils offer By Nihat Emre Kocaaslan - Fotospor report Manchester United are interested in signing Juventus central defender Merih Demiral ahead of the January transfer window. It’s reported the 21 year old caught the eye of United scouts during his impressive performance against France on Monday night and the Turkish website claims the Premier League giants could strengthen their defence by signing him. Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s primary focus is likely to bring in a striker, Fotospor report United are still in the market for a central defender to partner Harry Maguire and Demiral could be their man. He’s previously said his childhood idol was Nemanja Vidic, and Fotospor claim he’s waiting for an offer from the English side. The former Fenerbahce academy product left his boyhood club in 2016 to join Sporting and after that he moved to Alanyaspor on a loan deal. His impressive displays whilst as Alanyaspor earned him a move to Serie A club Sassoulo before signing for Juventus this summer for €18m. Despite his age he’s now become an important member of the Turkish national team, but he may want to play more regular first-team football during the second half of the season. Demiral is under contract at Juventus until June 2024.

In 771, King Offa of Mercia who had expanded his power into Kent set his sights on Sussex. He fought and defeated the South Saxons at Hastings. He allowed the four Sussex kings to retain some authority, but stripped them of the title of king. Charters from 772 onwards show the four kings with the reduced rank of ealdorman. There are no further references to South Saxon kings in the charters. However, it is interesting to note that Wulfnoth, father of Earl Godwine, was described as “Child of Sussex”, a term usually reserved for Saxon royalty. Given the limited evidence it is difficult to be certain, but it may be that Earl Godwine was descended from the Sussex line of kings. And of course, it was Earl Godwine who fathered King Harold I of England. After a brief reign, King Harold met his fate at Hastings during the famous battle against William of Normandy.

The compact sedan was first shown in July. Here are three things to know about this new sedan from the German auto brand: 1. BMW 1-Series will only be available in China. During the show, BMW also confirmed that the 1-Series will only be available in China, where it is assembled by the joint partnership between BMW and Briliance, the Chinese automaker. This will go against the Acura ILX, Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA. This sedan is based on the UKL platform, the BMW Group’s front-wheel-drive that is used on the X1 and the 2-Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer models. The latest models from Mini are also using the same platform. 2. BMW 1-Series has three powertrains. During the launch of the BMW 1-Series, the German group also introduced three powertrains for the newest sedan. The base is the turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-3 in a 118i that produces 136 horsepower. Above this sits the turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 in a 120i that can cough up 192 horsepower. At the top of this range is the turbocharged 2.0-liter option in a 125i that churns out 231 horsepower. The standard transmission is a 6-speed manual while an 8-speed automatic is also available. 3. BMW 1-Series has a typical BMW interior. Inside the 1-Series, you’ll find everything you could ever want in a BMW sedan. The controls are facing the driver and the dashboard has a layered design that stars an 8.8-inch screen for the infotainment system. To control the system, the driver will have access to a rotary dial in the center console. Upward, there’s a panoramic sunroof. At the back, the rear seats can be folded to expand the cabin. Other features include LED headlights, run-flat tires, and collision, lane departure and pedestrian warning systems.

Urban Development Dr. S. Sidharth showering flowers of blessing on their Organic ranch. Putting in hard work for two years the students raised good crops of Potatoes, rare rice varieties and many vegetables in the farm resorting totally to organic methods of cultivation. “We wanted the Government to appreciate our hard work” said Shweta from St .Joseph’s explaining the rationale of the event. “The Organic Farm was our cherished dream for two years,” said Nidhi and Shubhangi from class 9 of Don Bosco who laboured in the rice field several days. Trained in Japan in Organic Farming, Ms Margaret Molomoo co-ordinated the first ever cultivation of Organic rice by hundreds of students in Bihar. Four students of A. N College, Ghatta, Neha, Divakar and Vikash put in eight hours of work for three months to cultivate the rice. As part of the Commissioning of the Farm, the students also launched an Eco-friendly toilet complex which will be a supplementary source of organic manure for the farm. Class XII student from St. Joseph’s Shweta Marandi cut the ribbon in front of the large gathering of students and inaugurated the complex. Sponsored by WASH Institute, Patna, the Toilet complex has been the first such initiative in the entire State. “We want to build hundreds of them in Bihar” said the CEO of WASH Institute Prakash Kumar. It may be mentioned that WASH Institute spent five lakh rupees to put up the pioneering complex at Tarumitra. Earlier the students watched a film by Aamir Khan which dealt with the issues of pesticides in food. The students were served fresh home-gorwn Mirchaiya rice preparations at the end of the program. Sr. (Dr) Mudita Sodder presented the story of Organic Farming done entirely by the students of the State working in tandem with Interns from South American and European countries. Twenty MCJ Sisters with their Provincial Sr. Mary Lobo and Sr. Jessy participated in the event. The group has been at Tarumitra Bioreserve for a month long training program for Junior Sisters hailing from different states of India and abroad. Present also were Rajeev Ranjan, Sanjeev Kumar, Kanchan Pathak, D.N Prasad, Vikash Kumar, Neha Bharti, Ghatta, Divakar and Margaret Molomoo.

__label__cc	0.733624	0.266376	CHOCTAW CODE TALKERS by Tanya Landman At the end of the ‘Indian Wars’ in the 19th century many Native American children were taken away from their parents and sent to school to become ‘civilized.’ The policy - ‘kill the Indian to save the child’ - meant cutting their hair, putting them in white people’s clothes, forbidding them to speak their own languages. When the First World War broke out in Europe American Indians were not citizens of the country they lived in (in fact, they were only granted US citizenship in 1924). Their languages were considered obsolete. But then, in 1917, a group of 19 young Choctaw men arrived in Europe as part of the US Expeditionary Force. Their story is told in the following memorandum: Headquarters 142nd Infantry, A.E.F. January 23, 1919, A.P.O. No. 796 From: C.O. 142nd Infantry To: The Commanding General 36th Division (Attention Capt. Spence) Subject: Transmitting messages in Choctaw In compliance with memorandum, Headquarters 36th Division, January 21, 1919,to C.O. 142nd Infantry, the following account is submitted. In the first action of the 142nd Infantry at St. Etienne, it was recognized that of all the various methods of liaison the telephone presented the greatest possibilities. The field of rocket signals is restricted to a small number of agreed signals. The runner system is slow and hazardous. T.P.S. is always an uncertain quantity. It may work beautifully and again, it may be entirely worthless. The available means, therefore, for the rapid and full transmission of information are the radio, buzzer and telephone, and of these the telephone was by far the superior, - provided it could be used without let or hindrance, - provided straight to the point information could be given. It was well understood however, that the German was a past master of ‘listening in’ Moreover, from St. Etienne to the Aisne we had traveled through a county netted with German wire and cables. We established P.C.’s in dugouts and houses, but recently occupied by him. There was every reason to believe every decipherable message or word going over our wires also went to the enemy. A rumor was out that our Division had given false coordinates of our supply dump, and that in thirty minutes the enemy shells were falling o n the point. We felt sure the enemy knew too much. It was therefore necessary to code every message of importance and coding and decoding took valuable time. While comparatively inactive at Vaux-Champagne, it was remembered that the regiment possessed a company of Indians. They spoke twenty-six different language or dialects, only four or five of which were ever written. There was hardly one chance in a million that Fritz would be ale to translate these dialects and the plan to have these Indians transmit telephone messages was adopted. The regiment was fortunate in having two Indian officers who spoke several of the dialects. Indians from the Choctaw tribe were chosen and one placed in each P.C. The first use of the Indians was made in ordering a delicate withdrawal of two companies of the 2nd En. from Chufilly to Chardoney on the night of October 26th. This movement was completed without mishap, although it left the Third Battalion, greatly depleted in previous fighting, without support. The Indians were used repeatedly on the 27th in preparation for the assault on Forest Farm. The enemy’s complete surprise is evidence that he could not decipher the messages. After the withdrawal of the regiment to Louppy-le-Petit, a number of Indians were detailed for training in transmitting messages over the telephone. The instruction was carried on by the Liaison Officer Lieutenant Black. It had been found that the Indian’s vocabulary of military terms was insufficient. The Indian for “Big Gun” was used to indicate artillery. “Little gun shoot fast”, was substituted for machine gun and the battalions were indicated by one, two and three grains of corn. It was found that the Indian tongues do not permit verbatim translation, but at the end of the short training period at Louppy-le-Petit, the results were very gratifying and it is believed, had the regiment gone back into the line, fine results would have been obtained. We were confident the possibilities of the telephone had been obtained without its hazards. A.W. Bloor, Colonel Commanding. Within 24 hours of the Choctaw's deployment the tide of the battle had turned and in less than 72 the Allies were on full attack. Victory soon followed.

I did not know the use of Native American languages as military code happened as early as WWI. During WWII, the U.S. military used Navajo and Lakota (& other) Code Talkers against the Japanese in the Pacific. Again, the Native American codes were very effective. Debbie Watley www.debwatley.com Karen Maitland said... I had no idea that these languages were used as codes in either war, so thank you both Tanya and Debbie. Heart-breaking about the children, being ripped from their culture especially when you know that no matter what language they spoke they were never going to be accepted as equal citizens in those days. Judy Krueger said... Thank you Tanya. Fascinating info! Do you have a definition for TPS? I looked it up and got bogged down in long lists of acronyms. Wow. I knew about the WWII codetalkers, but not WWI. (I also didn't know that Native Americans did not have US Citizenship. Clare Mulley said...

__label__cc	0.579364	0.420636	News Letter to the editor Letter to the Editor: Impeachment by Anonymous November 18, 2019 (Graphic by Alex Dascalu/AQ) Dear Student Representative Council, I am writing on behalf of the St. Thomas University (STU) student body, respectfully to state our concern about the lack of diligence from and the failure of Ailish Mackenzie-Foley to fulfill the responsibilities of St. Thomas University Students’ Union’s (STUSU’s) Vice-President Education (VPED). Ailish was elected by the student body last STUSU spring election to serve the STU student body as our VPED and to date, I believe we have failed to see how her tasks as VPED have been fulfilled. As a student leader on campus, I have received and heard a copious amount of comments and criticisms from other students outlining how challenging it is to work with Ailish as the VPED. I feel that as a student leader, and as someone who voted for her to uphold the duties and responsibilities of STUSU VPED, I had to write this letter to express both my personal views and the views of the concerned students who confided in me. We are asking the Student Representative Council to act on these concerns considering we, as the STU student population, elected you to represent and to do what is best for us. I decided to write the letter anonymously only because I did not want the student representatives around the table to feel uncomfortable discussing the letter I am writing. I am not the topic of discussion as much as should Ailish as the VPED. I honestly believe that refraining from disclosing my name will allow for a bias-free discussion around the issue in concern. It was brought to my attention by various student leaders who have worked with Ailish so far that she has constantly failed to meet the expectations that were set for her as the VPED. For instance, during the Get Out The Vote Campaign, the coordinators and volunteers expressed how they felt Ailish was not committed to the campaign through her lack of presence and active participation to take the lead on organizing and planning events. Moreover, although a timeline was established to when events are going to be happening for Get Out The Vote, and delegation of tasks were done way in advance during the summer, various events like the volunteers’ training, Why Vote Banner, Dotmocracy, and Double Dutch for Democracy were either postponed or cancelled last minute due to the fact that Ailish failed to execute the expectations that were assigned to her. Considering that the Get Out The Vote campaign is one of the mandates of the VPED, one would expect that she would take the lead on most the events. One of the most concerning things I heard regarding Ailish’s involvement with the Get Out The Vote campaign was when one of the senior administrators said they did not know that Ailish, the VPED, was “supposed” to be an active leader on this campaign. Furthermore, as someone who has had the chance to work with Ailish as the VPED on various occasions, I believe the lack of professionalism when it comes to responding to action items in a timely manner is beyond belief. I completely understand that being a student comes before being the STUSU VPED, but I strongly believe that if as the VPED of the Students’ Union, one fails to respond within a timely manner, and that one has an excuse for all late responses, then it becomes concerning as it shows one is not available for the students who elected you. Ailish also did not contribute to the Wall of Debt which was originally in her portfolio and did not aid the St. Thomas University International Student Association (STUISA) with the Winter Warm Up event, causing STUISA to choose to remove the STUSU as a partner from the event. Alongside, as the VPED, Ailish is being paid for 15 hours a week to fulfill her duties as VPED of the union, and I believe the lack of initiatives that she has put on this far is unfortunately disappointing and is also poor fiscal management as student dollars are funding a paycheck and receiving no output My intention of writing this letter is not solely to bring these concerns forward, but also because I truly believe that Ailish does possess the ability to do better. She has the drive and passion of a leader. But I feel that now is not the right time for her to hold such a significant student leader role, and not only is her holding this position restricting her ability to work on herself but is also having negative implications on students in that we feel that we are not being served and represented by their VPED internally and externally. Ailish has constantly demonstrated how she has failed to fulfil the role and responsibilities of the STUSU VPED as outlined in the STUSU by-laws and constitution, such as the number of committees the VPED is expected to chair. I strongly believe that action should be taken in this regard. While many people have talked about potentially impeaching her, I think that the SRC should consider my letter as a formal letter of impeachment and go forth with what is best for the us, the students, who elected you to represent our best interests. I am hoping that SRC would be sincere and genuine and express how they feel about the present VPED. In no way do I want councillors and STU students to criticize Ailish since I strongly believe that her heart is in the right place and that she is an amazing person, but I certainly expect councillors to think critically of the current VPED for her failure to meet her mandates and fulfill her duties and responsibilities. I am confident that impeaching Ailish Mackenzie-Foley as the 2019-2020 Vice-President Education for the St. Thomas University Students’ Union (STUSU) is not only going to benefit the student population but will also benefit Ailish herself in the long run. Thank you Madame Chair for reading this letter at the SRC meeting, people present in the room for listening and people at home for reading. I greatly appreciate your time and consideration on this matter. I am ending this letter on a hopeful note that the SRC I elected will take a decision that is right for all of us. Once again, thank you for letting me express my views and the views of so many others. On behalf of many others.

I remembered the paragraph in the Red Cross letter :<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> " .... unofficial information recaptured by Germans 16/01/44 last seen 28/1/44 travelling from Italy to Germany train bombed no news since." What was this about ? I posted a question on a WW2 chat board which I used, in the remote hope that someone might know about the train story. Surprisingly I had a response from someone who remembered seeing an “Escape and Evasion Report” about a train where many British servicemen lost their lives. I was told that there was a report held by the National Archives (WO361 / 668) that contained enquiries into P.O.W.’s lost when the train they were travelling on was bombed. The date given was 28/1/44 and the place was Orvieto in Italy. FILE AT KEW The catalogue for the National Archives at Kew shows there is a document about the bombing of the train. Catalogue Reference WO 361/668 WO361 - War Office: Department of the Permanent Under Secretary of State: Casualties (L) Branch: Enquiries into Missing Personnel, 1939-45 War Record Summary Scope and content - Italy: train transporting British prisoners of war bombed by Allies at Allerona near Orvieto, 28 January 1944 Covering dates - 1944 Oct 01 - 1945 Aug 31 Availability - Open Document, Open Description, Open on Transfer Former reference (Department) M 877 Held by The National Archives. I then obtained a digital copy of the National Archives file on the disaster. It confirms that William Anderson was on this train and presumably killed in the bombing. There is only one mention of him, as a handwritten addendum on a list of those presumed dead on the bombed train. It was handwritten by someone after the original list was printed and contains his service number, S/151306, and rank, Sergeant - third down on right hand side (see below). From another source, I found, during one of the official enquiries into the train bombing, Sergeant Anderson is referred to in the testimony of 7676195 Private Cyril F. Morris RAOC in WO361/668 : “The above N.C.O. was known to me whilst in Camp 54 until September 1943. I next saw him in the same camp after we had both been recaptured by the Germans in January 1944 and I spoke to him at frequent intervals. I also saw Sgt. Anderson on the train at Fara Sabina station after we had been embarked for transportation to Germany. The car in which Sgt. Anderson was travelling was roughly in the centre of the train, my own car being further to the rear. Thus it appears that the car in which the above N.C.O. was travelling was among those which were apparently hit by the subsequent bombing of the train at Orvieto on Jan 28. I have not since met anyone who can substantiate this belief.” It seems that William must have been captured at Tobruk by the Italians, transported and sent to a POW camp in Italy, presumably decided to go on the run around September 1943 when the Italian Armistice was announced, was then recaptured by the Germans on 16th January 1944 and was last seen on 28th January 1944 travelling on a train taking prisoners from Italy to Germany which was bombed by the Allies, and unluckily, being in one of those central carriages which was completely destroyed by the bombing ! Is that bad luck or what ? It seems the deadly air attack was by around 32 US bomber and fighter planes including B26’s from the 12th US Air Force. It was obviously a terrible friendly fire accident and the target was the bridge not the train. The reports into the incident are unclear as to the number of casualties but could have been around 500 out of a total of 800 being transported from the POW camp, Fara Sabina in Italy, to Germany. Not for the first time in this extraordinary story, I thought that was that and what more could I possibly learn ? What indeed ?

She graduated from Vancouver Film School and from TRU with a degree in journalism and worked as a travel writer and music journalist for a number of years before becoming a full-time novelist. Halle’s many novels span a variety of different genres and have therefore been influenced by writers of many different styles. She has spoken about drawing inspiration from the works of Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Josh Homme, Mike Patton and Christopher Pike. Halle has an eclectic mix of novels to her name. Perhaps her most well-known work is her Experiment in Terror Series: a nine-part set of novels which revolves around a ghost-hunting couple Perry and Dex. It is part sci-fi, part fantasy, part horror and part romance. Her other novels are mostly romance titles, pairing unlikely combinations of interesting characters . There is usually more to her stories than a straight-forward romantic plot, as she explores recurring themes such as morality, autonomy and freedom.

Place your bets here. As much I think TX does deserve a spot in historical, I don't think they will make it. From what I'm seeing, this is basically half the PKer meta striking back at the BHer meta for making CK fail. Twice. This is what happens when you're biased in these things. We have ourselves a silent subconscious meta war...Who wants to bet something will blow out of proportion soon? -_-" --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 05:20, 5 July 2012 (BST) Nope. I don't see how this vote is going any different than any other recent vote. You're either in the purist camp (those that cling to the vague voting criteria) or the popularity camp (voteing based on how well you personally like/dislike the group) or you're a meatpuppet. Don't see any evidence of a so-called "meta-war" or "payback" voting. ~ 22:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC) Never part of the PK scene, nor did I ever BH. I have no stake in voting against your group other than a proper understanding of what it means to be Historical. Have a nice day. --WanYao 14:33, 7 July 2012 (BST) It's what Vapor said. With a little side of the standard "let's get our friends out to upvote us". --Karekmaps 2.0?! 20:56, 8 July 2012 (BST) Get a grip, son. Look at all the PKers who voted for (To The) Four Winds and C4NT, among many other deserving groups. You're the one blowing this out of proportion. Just because you think your group should be historical doesn't mean your group is historical. And let's not forget that without those nasty, biased PKers you would never have had a group in the first place, yes? --Paddy DignamIS DEAD 16:06, 7 July 2012 (BST) You're talking to someone who plays PKer alts exclusively, mate. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 17:11, 7 July 2012 (BST) badly i might add. -- bitch 01:09, 8 July 2012 It's only badly 'cause I was the one who began the "Axe Hack is a horrible PKer" joke. And let's face it. That joke accomplished what I expected it to accomplish. Now mostly everyone sees me as a bad and incompetent PKer. 'Cause I wanted them to. The actual truth is, "I'm just lazy and don't really give a crap enough to be a serious PKer." --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 01:49, 8 July 2012 (BST) ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” \| ◆◆◆ \| CAPD \| 17:20, 7 July 2012 (BST) I'm a Player Killer and I voted no for the CK almost everytime they pop up. And it has nothing to do with not liking them. To be honest before they retired I had a character I was leveling to join them with, but never got around to applying before they retired. They're a great group, but other than their reputation and roleplay style they weren't really noteworthy as a PKer group. They're a great group with great players and a really good theme, but they're not historical to me. I'm about to no vote Team Xtreme for the same reason with roughly the same sentiment. - Goribus 02:08, 8 July 2012 (BST) no in fact you voted yes and missed the first vote. Goribus said: Fuck yes. The Columbine Kids are one of the most infamous groups just based on name and reputation alone. If you played the game on a regular basis before they disbanded, you most likely heard of them. The group also polarized people you either got it and loved them, got it and hated them, or didn't get it and hated them. The only thing about them that sucks is that they won't be around anymore and I never got around to leveling the character I wanted to join with before I left the game. -- Goribus Talk 600px-Cobra.svg.png Cobra•RDD RDDInsignia copy.png 12:50, 3 April 2011 (BST) Lucky we have archives to catch people in their bullshit -- bitch 02:47, 13 July 2012 I've never had any issues with CK in any way and I vote the same. Although, I have a reputation as an almost but not really notable zombie player it can be argued I've contributed far more to survivor strategy over the years. Either way, CK failed because they didn't add anything to the game beyond in their direct meta-circle. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 20:56, 8 July 2012 (BST) What a perplexing anaylisis of the votes. I've been everything at one point or another but a PKer the least, hold no biases about CK or anyone but to be honest these guys were nobodies to me. Know Josh Clarke but TX... What is that, Texas? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK \| CONTRIBS) 16:15, 11 July 2012 (BST) Additional Moved Comments from Summary ADD - Alright. You people who keep using the "What have you done to change the game?"...you people are fucking morons. Take a good look then at the whole category and throw it the fuck out. Aside from 2, maybe 3 groups, NO ONE has changed the game. It's too big. So if that's only criteria, We might as well shut the whole thing down now? K? Good. Bye bye. Christ, half you duffs don't even play the game anymore. I'm about done with it. Hence my rant. -Hibernaculum 03:55, 9 July 2012 (BST) There are plenty of groups that are recent-ish that deserve inclusion, this just isn't one of them. Here's a short list of a few of the more notable ones; The Dribbling Beavers, THEM, (To_The)_Four_Winds, 404:_Barhah_not_found, COMBAT REVIVE(ever wonder where DIRT:NAP came from?), and MOB. Their achievements? DB => Battle of Santlerville2, THEM => the modern NT Defense, Four Winds and 404 => C4NTness along with having a significant impact anywhere they went against groups many times their size, COMBAT REVIVE => This group is why DIRT:NAP exists along with the offensive revive strategies numerous popular UD extensions and are the documented source of the modern mobile group strategy, MOB => Pick a reason they all apply to MOB. All of these groups(except MOB who are 07) came around during or after yours, a few by years. I could throw the Dead in there too actually since they also came later. I'd actually rank even The Malton Globetrotters, the Dulston Alliance, and Extinction as more notable groups though I wouldn't include them on an historical list, particularly not that last one. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 14:11, 10 July 2012 (BST) I have to go with Hib on this. Now a days all the groups still active can't change the game. The historical votes should be closed if that is the case. The Pathetic Bill votes just goes to show the biased PKer base the wiki has. A Pker group can get the okay, but a BHer group does not stand a chance? And from a bunch of people who do not even play the game anymore? How can that be fair if they aren't even involved in the game? Put it this way those who don't even play the game probably do not remember Samhain Slaughter 3 Team Xtreme was the force behind getting as many of the Bounty Hunters together to attack the PKers before their strike on a Mall. This action made it so the PKers had to try to create a decoy Mall to throw the BHers hunting them off the trail. (This did not happen in the previous Samhain Slaughters) We did find the true target and did strikes on the PKers. We even warned the occupants in the Mall of the upcoming attack (Although they chose to ignore our warnings) The Mall of course was destroyed do to the fact that PKers have always out numbered the Bounty Hunters. But there is no denying that we were a challenge and Samhain 3 would not have been as fun with out the cat and mouse game. For those who do remember Samhain 3, tell me this how was the other Samhains after that? When the BHers did not bother to interfere? I also would like to point out that Team Xtreme always took pride in the fact that we were the first and biggest thorn in the PKer group Heathers side. To my knowledge no other Bounty Hunter or group have targeted the Heather's them selves as well as their "Man Slaves" The battles TX had against the Heather group are things of legend. I also would like to point out our battle with the LUEshi's Rangers on their Journal here http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/LUEshi%27s_Rangers/Campaign_Journal if you would read the entry for their The Penny Heights Campaign November 05th, 2010 - November 23rd, 2010 The rangers words speaks volumes. From our works in both Text Rapists hunting and Zerg Hunting as well as all the other things mentioned from numerous people who knew Team Xtreme both as allies and adversaries Team Xtreme should be listed as Historical. But the way things are run on the wiki it is clear that this proves to be impossible until things are changed. --Josh Clark 17:05, 9 July 2012 (BST) josh I'm sorry but you can't compare your group to the bills you aren't even in the same league. bills famous. TX again as ddr what is that texas? -- bitch 13:13, 12 July 2012 For one, Samhain Slaughter 3 is a non-historical event for the same reason this group is having trouble passing the bar, a lack of significant impact on the game or the meta-culture thereof. It was also the most prominent thing on the Columbine Kids' bid which is part of why they also failed, if you want important PKer related events you'll be hard pressed to find any mostly because they just don't happen. Neither of the other two groups you mention having involvement against have similarly had a significant impact on the game. The few pker groups that have been listed had high membership and/or(inclusive, as the 2nd applies to all) a massive psychological impact on the meta-psyche of the game, Red Rum, Malton DEA, the ALF, the Disciples of Zeko, etc. These are all PKer groups that were notable terrors at the time in the game. People as a survivor you always worried about showing up and who represented the absolute best of what made the PKer threat mentality that led to the formation of BHer groups and lists in the first place. People changed how they played because of them, Urban Dead was changed because of those groups presence in the game. Team Xtreme or Colombine Kids are simply not on that level, and two of those groups had less than 20 people. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 13:45, 10 July 2012 (BST) "Columbine Kids = offensive + famous + didn't change game = 100% absolutely fucking Historical!" "Team Xtreme = famous + participated in events more than CK + didn't change game = Not Historical at all." Go fuck yourselves. --Penguinpyro 23:36, 9 July 2012 (BST) Columbine Kids are not an historical group. Matter of fact they failed on vote Twice. Many of the same people were also against them. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 13:19, 10 July 2012 (BST) The Hierophant said: If there were a category for Historical Characters (and I have long believed that there should be)... Good point. Why is there not one and who do we see about getting there to be one? Admittedly the voting on such a category could get ugly from time to time, but it would seem to be a useful thing to have a who's who of the zombie apocalypse past and present divided into reasonable subsections (survivors, zombies, Pkers, BHers etc) with explanatory text or profile links. If in game personalities were only considered if they had contributed to UD for a long enough period (say 3 or 4 years) outlined in a guidelines section, the ranks of such a category should not get too overcrowded-- Albert Schwan Sunday, 8 July 2012 I'd imagine the introduction of such a category would require a vote and the usual wiki bureaucracy. As far as potential ugliness goes, I can see a couple of possible flashpoints: The first is voting, as you mentioned; the other is write-ups: Just who would write them and what/how much could they say? On the length of contribution, I agree that we don't want it to get too crowded, but three or four years of contribution for a character (as opposed to player, which is a matter of further discussion, as some players are more influential than their characters) is, in my opinion, rather too long. There are people who have done a lot in no time at all and others (the majority) who have done nothing in a very long time. There also also the matter of whether we'd accept entries for active players. All points for discussion. Considering those who could be included, here's a starter list just from the top of my head (if anyone truly viable has been excluded it's down to a lapse in memory or my own lack of insight into their playing 'faction', not because I'd necessarily vote against them): Petrosjko (Founding Papa of the RRF). Sonny (Second Papa of the RRF, leader of the Big Bash, controversial character, Papa during the Battle of Blackmore). Murray Jay Suskind (Fourth Papa of the RRF, rebuilt the War Council, the man who conceded defeat at the Battle of Santlerville). Lord Moloch (I hate putting my own character forward, but the case is there. Not wanting to go ego-pumping, I won't denote the reasons unless asked to). Goolina (Founder of the Gore Corps, hugely famous and controversial character). Grim (Former Warmaster of the RRF. Notorious, hugely influential in the formation of the horde). Jorm (Leader of the RRF's Barhah Brigade, founder of the MOB... We all know he would have to be in). Bisfan (Second leader of the MOB. Famous and very well-known). Keith Moon (Leader of Minions of the Apocalypse). Bullgod (Leader of Feral Undead). Katthew (The Dead and others. Also, just... Katthew). We'd also need reps from Eastonwood Ferals, LUE and Shacknews, though it's a matter of debate which ones. Survivors (Others will need to pad this out, as there are gaps in my knowledge, especially on individual CVs. I'm a killer, not a breather...). Kristi of the Dead. Alex DeWitt. Sir Fred of Etruria. Ron Burgundy. Sexy Rexy Grossman. Jensonson. Someone from CDF. ... Yeah, help me out here! PKers Sirens. Karloth Vois. Headless Gunner. Kyle the Feared. Alf Landon. Pathetic Bill. There are more, obviously. I don't know much about the foundations and histories of the Philosophe Knights and DARIS, for example. Also, if high bounty characters are to be considered then we should rule out all self-reporters. The isn't a single truly significant PKer who self-reports, as far as I'm aware. AidenFury. Strayla. Nicholas Risto. Josh Clark. Ciskokitty. The top Zerg hunters such as Prudence and Caesar Augustus (the latter is me again, full disclosure FYI) are worth considering. Someone come up with more, as I'm done with thinking for now. So yeah, there's a start based upon characters alone. Obviously if it was extended to players then there are more to be considered (Anime Sucks, for example), as that would have to encompass the metagame. --Papa Moloch 07:35, 8 July 2012 (BST) PKers: Bob Hammero and Jimbo Bob. Others: Me (for reviving the Malton Manhunt and making those events such a blast during the Manhunt's golden era). BHers: minus Ciscokitty, plus Lois Millard, Raven Corvus, Erica Rackham, and Katie Burns. Survivors: Dickholeguy (best fucking leader the Malton Rangers ever had), Lachyrma. Zombies: The organizers of Big Bash 1, 2, and 3, and whoever founded Shacknews. Just my two cents. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 13:56, 8 July 2012 (BST) Make it too complicated and the wiki may experience some slight turbulence and then explode. Call it historical characters and give it the exact same criteria as historical groups, and you might see the category debut in early 2015. Or hold a discussion on how to improve the groups category so that's it's not such a preening popularity contest (assuming there's a way for it not to be), and then institute the characters category. That would take us to 2017. --Paddy DignamIS DEAD 16:54, 8 July 2012 (BST) ^This. Honestly, no need to put such a list through the typical wiki beuracracy. Not only would it breed contention, I'm sure you'd run into some issues with userpage edits should someone want to add a Historic Characters template. I believe Ross started something in his userspace already. As for some of my contributions: Kevan (duh) and Akule (contributions to zerg hunting). I'd include more but I don't think this is really the place for nominations. ~ 18:21, 8 July 2012 (UTC) we could honestly make it a consensus driven article like Notable Suburbs voting. That actually historically works better for filtering out the Really notable ones as opposed to the popular can win an at the time vote ones. I would be against any vote type system for this and since we're discussing it here's my take on Moloch's list. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 20:56, 8 July 2012 (BST) RE:Moloch Petrosjko (Founding Papa of the RRF). This is a given Sonny (Second Papa of the RRF, leader of the Big Bash, controversial character, Papa during the Battle of Blackmore). He was more notable as a survivor actually. Murray Jay Suskind (Fourth Papa of the RRF, rebuilt the War Council, the man who conceded defeat at the Battle of Santlerville).</stike> An argument might be possible for him but, this is more an RRF notable not an actual notable <strike>Lord Moloch (I hate putting my own character forward, but the case is there. Not wanting to go ego-pumping, I won't denote the reasons unless asked to). Some fame, some infamy, all mostly only in group though, like Murray Goolina (Founder of the Gore Corps, hugely famous and controversial character).</srike>As a PKer, sure. She reinvented a significant part of PKing. Not really notable though outside of her groups <strike>Grim (Former Warmaster of the RRF. Notorious, hugely influential in the formation of the horde). Although there may be an argument for some of his TDD contributions. If we're listing for Notworthy contributions him and Beauxdeigh would be an auto-in though Jorm (Leader of the RRF's Barhah Brigade, founder of the MOB... We all know he would have to be in). Yes yes yes, a million times yes Bisfan (Second leader of the MOB. Famous and very well-known). Not known outside of his circles. He's not a name you'll hear whispered in terror across Malton Keith Moon (Leader of Minions of the Apocalypse). Pretty Much Bullgod (Leader of Feral Undead). People still get amazed when he pops up however rarely Katthew (The Dead and others. Also, just... Katthew). The Many would also seal this one We'd also need reps from Eastonwood Ferals, LUE and Shacknews, though it's a matter of debate which ones. Mentions for mentions sake. However there is a name I know I'm blanking on right now that was someone's alt Identity and that alt was uniquely famous Sweet Zombie Jesus Warlord Xyu Headless Gunner. in-group meta Kyle the Feared. More for meta contributions not actual playing Alf Landon. If I haven't heard of him there's a problem There are more, obviously. I don't know much about the foundations and histories of the Philosophe Knights and DARIS, for example. Also, if high bounty characters are to be considered then we should rule out all self-reporters. The isn't a single truly significant PKer who self-reports, as far as I'm aware. This would be a horrible measurement This is all only in a specific small meta groupset of players, not relevant to the game said: Honestly the list can possibly be even more shrunk down to Petro, Keith Moon, Burgandy, Karloth, Xyu, Rexy, KotD, and Jorm for the super short list. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 20:56, 8 July 2012 (BST) I agree with Karek on a lot of these, although I don't know if excluding someone for making a big impact on the metagame is entirely fair. There's only so much a single player can do without it being classed as 'metagame'. Headless Gunner, for example, organized and led the PKA during its heyday for a LONG time, besides which he gained notoriety for leading the CGR to victory for years. TBH, I don't think there's a single Philosophe Knight who would be eligible for the page either way, though, Moloch. I've been one since January 2007 and I couldn't name a single one besides maybe Flogging Molly whose name was recognized outside of our forums. We go out of our way to not make a name for ourselves, and frankly, I don't think the group itself qualifies as Historical (longevity isn't enough). You can pretty much exclude any of us from this page. I DO like the idea, though, and would very much like to see it become a reality. --DT PK 21:10, 8 July 2012 (BST) I totally am thinking about this, it's in my usespace at the minute, but a small template thing would be good. (About the size of Bub would be ideal. Plus that way I can definitely put Dermot O'Leary in . --Rosslessness 18:31, 8 July 2012 (BST) With all due respect it is a good idea in theory, but there's already a potential circle jerk going on due to the fact that the requirements for a Historical Character would be even more vague than a historical group. I mean no offense to Axe, but if he seriously thinks that he belongs on a list with the players Moloch listed then he's fucking insane. But given his number of friends he'd be a shoe in. People complain about meat puppetry and popularity contests as it is with Historical groups. What do you think's going to happen when it's individual players? For example, I could probably get myself on this list if I called in enough favors and asked enough people to vote for me despite the fact that I clearly don't belong on that list either. Food for thought. -- Goribus 21:30, 8 July 2012 (BST) ditto-- bitch 00:30, 10 July 2012 I think people are getting confused as to whether we are basing this on characters or players. CrunchyCake T Breakfast Club 21:54, 8 July 2012 (BST) I was thinking that considering only players would weed out some of the meta-game that people find offensive. Some of it is unavoidable; let's face it here, we are dealing with 9 colored squares and a couple dozen boxes. Also, there are fewer players active consistently and contributing to the state of Malton for long stretches of time than there are users who stick around and run different players. The more stringent the application requirements, the fewer will be eligible and the easier such a thing would be to manage. As to it becoming a popularity contest, voting always is. Why fight it when you can work with it? The only control you can exercise regarding the quality of the applicants is in eligibility requirements. If those are more black and white (A certain active duration, no self-nomination, etc.) you insure that anyone who has managed to meet them and still is able to win a popularity contest, belongs in the category. To a certain extent, being important makes you popular most of the time if not necessarily liked in all cases. Founders of historic groups would be a good bet to win a vote like this as would milestone characters like Bud, but it would also open up the category to influential individuals. As to whether the players need be retired, if you think about it, knowing the heroes and villains of the past is handy from an academic standpoint but knowing the living legends who are still hanging around Malton is a lot more useful from day to day. I would argue that, as long as they meet the requirements, active/inactive status should not be an issue. While this would be best in a more public space, if it must be confined to Ross's userspace for the time then so be it. Just let me know if there is anything I can do to help. For the record, I would not vote for Axehack either but that is because he stopped using his namesake alt in manhunts some time ago. Given another year or so of continued advancement of the institution of manhunting in game, I might be inclined to vote for his mudkip. -- Albert Schwan Monday, 9 July 2012 It'd be characters for sure. Case in point; Huey Long was a super famous personality in zombie culture, Keith Moon/Petrojsko level famous. Most people don't know that he's actually an alt because the player in question intentionally separated their personal reputation from the characters. Notability in the game should reflect notoriety in the gamespace, things people can be curious about without needing external knowledge or forum participation. That at least should be the basic starting barometer of if a character is truly noteworthy. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 09:30, 10 July 2012 (BST) Hay guys what about uncle zeddie lul DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK \| CONTRIBS) 16:11, 11 July 2012 (BST) Ha!--Rosslessness 18:49, 11 July 2012 (BST) User:Rosslessness/Persons Of Note is now up and running. --Rosslessness 18:49, 11 July 2012 (BST) Removing Historical Status In Historical Events there is this to remove events. Does the same option exist for historical groups? If I understand correctly once upon a time, being historical just meant important enough to not be deleted? -- Org XIII Alts 15:02, 8 July 2012 (BST) Yes and no, historical groups was intentionally established as certain groups got grandfathered in. There's a list along with reasons in the archives. In addition to that certain groups in this case don't quite make sense years after the fact. Most players have no idea who The Shining Ones or ALF were these days but back in the day they were the equivalents of RRF and RedRum. There's more than a few like that in the current list and the ones that likely deserve removal and seem to have passed voting by popularity(and most of these are actually more recent, like FoD) aren't likely to be nominated for this status or effected by it. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 14:18, 10 July 2012 (BST) How long will a group's page stay up if they fail a historical bid? --Paddy DignamIS DEAD 17:53, 10 July 2012 (BST) I'd imagine it will stay up permanently, or until one of the group in question requests deletion. The status category was originally created to prevent the pages in question being deleted under an old criterion which I believe has since been done away with. Removing the page from the category will simply see it struck from the list and unlocked for editing. I may be wrong though, as I'm not really up on all this bureaucratic cack. --Papa Moloch 18:20, 10 July 2012 (BST) Groups are no longer deleted. We got rid of the horrendous Crit 12(deletion of defunct groups) in 2007. Only groups that clearly never were or request it get deleted these days. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 02:57, 11 July 2012 (BST) Gotcha. So, when a group achieves historical status, we see this at the top of the page: "This historical group is no longer active. However, its wiki page is preserved to reflect the group's significance in Urban Dead history." I guess this was written before Crit 12 was nixed. --Paddy DignamIS DEAD 16:34, 11 July 2012 (BST) Yup, there's also a template for otherwise inactive groups. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 21:07, 11 July 2012 (BST) Retrieved from "http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Category_talk:Historical_Groups&oldid=2040570"	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25801
__label__wiki	0.880574	0.880574	Travel, Music and Love: We speak with Kayah Since the huge success of her recent album with Goran Bregović - the biggest-selling record in the history of the Polish music industry - Kayah has become an even bigger name throughout Poland and her fame has begun to spread to other parts of the world. In an interviewconducted entirely in English she talked to The World of English about how she learnt the language and how important it is for her to be able to speak it. WoE: How did you learn English? Kayah: When you' re abroad and you have to make yourself understood, that' s the best way to learn. I was very lucky, I travelled a lot and I had real contact with the language. But I' m really very bad - I know nothing about grammar, nothing, really nothing! Nothing about tenses - past, present - what is this? I have no idea how they all work. Are you continuing to study now? No, not at all. The reason why I started to think in English, except because of travelling, was because I wanted to know what songs were about. But when I learnt I was sorry because most of all they' re about nothing. The songs I used to think were about something were actually about nothing - which was a pity. But I think there' s really nothing more important than knowing languages because it makes you closer to the world. For someone like me, being from Poland, it was the only possibility to get closer to the outside world. It was also maybe my mistake; I was always in love with foreigners! Did you have English lessons at school? Yes. In secondary school I had a very good teacher. He was half-English and really pedantic about language and pronunciation. But I was never good enough. It' s a pity because my biggest dream is to write lyrics in English - to be so elastic in the language that I could make myself understood not only through words, but also through thoughts. I don' t know idioms or anything like that. How much do you use English? All the time because my husband is Dutch, and I don' t speak Dutch. The funny thing between us is that - especially for me - when I don' t know some word in English I might know it in German, so I mix them, often in a very stupid and funny way. We both speak English and German. Did you learn German at school as well? It was when I was travelling. I lived in Vienna for over a year. Is your German as good as your English? Much, much worse! I can tell you a very funny story. A Turkish friend and I had a band together. He spoke German and English too. Once we were standing in a queue at a garden party in an international music festival. He was a little way from me and I called out," Could you bring me a teller" ." Talerz" and" teller" in German are quite similar, and we never used the word" plate" . The Americans and English were looking at us and thinking" What does she mean?!" That was really funny, but I' m still speaking that mixed language. Can you imagine not being able to speak English? No. I really believe in body language, but I think my husband and I would be really unfortunate then. We have a little baby - Roch - and soon he' s going to talk. It looks like he will speak Dutch with my husband, with me Polish and with both of us, English. But what level of English it will be I can' t imagine! Are you deliberately teaching him English? I think he will speak it just because he will hear us speaking. There is a big hope and chance that we will speak better English because I recently made an advertisement for an English language school in Poland. As part of my payment they proposed they send me a teacher for conversation lessons. I have no time, so probably they won' t be regular, but we' ll see. Has Roch begun to speak yet? No, only "ga ga ga" - it' s international. But the first " hello" he said was something between Dutch and English. "Helo, Hallo," something like that, not "Halo" like in Polish. Do you have plans to sing in English? Only if it makes sense. To sing in English here in Poland makes no sense. My biggest dream is to do something abroad, but this is something I can do nothing about. It depends on decisions that my record company will make. From my point of view, I' m scared because I' m 32 years old. Who' s going to listen to a 32-year-old woman from Poland? But I' ve had a few international hits. What plans do you have for the near future? Soon I' ll be releasing my next record. I think that this record has an international touch because it will be full of folklore influences. But right now there are no lyrics at all. It' s still a fresh thing, but for sure if I record this album I think I will try to make it in both language versions. Maybe I can use the English version later. So the English one will be like a demo? I suppose so, yes. But there' s still no decision about what to do with it. Maybe also my husband will help - he knows a lot of people. Actually I' m quite popular in Holland at the moment - even with Polish. Look at what' s going on now in the music market, look at Youssou N' Dour or Cesaria Evora. They sing in their own languages, and very often not the popular version that everyone speaks. They use a lot of slang or even local dialects. For instance, Cesaria Evora doesn' t even sing in normal Portuguese - she' s from Cape Verde. And these singers are becoming very, very popular. On your last record with Goran Bregović English wouldn' t have suited that sort of music. What I would love to have there would be English translations because I' m really proud of the lyrics. If I ever made poetry this is it. Do you think English is a difficult language to learn? Probably if I go deeper it' ll be a very dangerous language. But I think English is much closer to Polish than German because of the logic used to build the sentences. It' s easier to build sentences in English than in German, for instance, because in German they have completely opposite logic. But in English the tenses are very difficult. About pronunciation, I know a lot of people through music here who really catch it. It' s quite easy to catch the melody of English. It certainly helps to live somewhere where English is spoken. But I know people who live in Greenpoint in New York - Greenpoint is like a Polish village - people have been living there for 30 or 40 years and they can' t speak English at all. What advice would you give people learning English? Fall in love with a foreigner! That' s the easiest way!	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25805

While meiotic functions of the cohesin and condensin complexes have been delineated, the role of the third SMC complex, Smc5/6, remains enigmatic. Here we identify specific, essential meiotic functions for the Smc5/6 complex in homologous recombination and the regulation of cohesin. We show that Smc5/6 is enriched at centromeres and cohesin-association sites where it regulates sister-chromatid cohesion and the timely removal of cohesin from chromosomal arms, respectively. Smc5/6 also localizes to recombination hotspots, where it promotes normal formation and resolution of a subset of joint-molecule intermediates. In this regard, Smc5/6 functions independently of the major crossover pathway defined by the MutLγ complex. Furthermore, we show that Smc5/6 is required for stable chromosomal localization of the XPF-family endonuclease, Mus81-Mms4Eme1. Our data suggest that the Smc5/6 complex is required for specific recombination and chromosomal processes throughout meiosis and that in its absence, attempts at cell division with unresolved joint molecules and residual cohesin lead to severe recombination-induced meiotic catastrophe Q Science > QH Natural history > QH301 Biology Meiosis, Chromosomes, Morphology, Molecules Article number e1004071 National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (Great Britain) (BBSRC), Charles A.

Osborne revealed the forecast on the short-term implications of Brexit earlier on Saturday. The full report is due for publication next week and states that people's homes will lose up to 18 percent of their value if Britain leaves the EU compared to what they would be worth if the UK remains part of the 28-member bloc. Speaking in south London on Saturday, Hammond said inflation and interest rates would rise in tandem with a price drop and that he thought the UK would struggle to manage so soon after a "very difficult" recession. In contrast, former UK Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith - a senior campaigner to leave the EU - compared Osborne's claims to "Pinocchio." Duncan Smith said that Treasury forecasts should not be trusted as they are often "manipulated" - something he claimed Osborne previously warned of himself. London - 21 May 2016 1. SOUNDBITE (English) Philip Hammond, UK Foreign Secretary and senior campaigner for the UK to remain in the European Union: "House prices will go down (if the UK leaves the EU) as inflation and interest rates rise, and that's something people need to understand. The short-term shocks of a vote to leave on June 23 will hit this economy hard, and I'm not sure, a couple of years after a very difficult recession, I'm not sure we're strong enough to stand that again." ++BLACK FRAMES++ Lincoln - 21 May 2016 2. SOUNDBITE (English) Iain Duncan Smith, former UK Work and Pensions Secretary and senior campaigner for the UK's exit from the European Union: ++CONTAINS WHITE FRAMES++ "Well when I heard that I did think of Pinocchio and the nose growing rather long here (inferring that lies have been told). I mean, let me just remind everybody that it was the Treasury and George Osborne (UK Chancellor of the Exchequer) who said when we (the Conservative Party) came into power back in 2010 (that) we couldn't trust Treasury reports because they were always fiddled with by Chancellors of the Exchequer. (White frames). So my point is, very simply, (that) they do not know (that house prices will fall). This is a Treasury report - the Treasury didn't pick the recession when it came, the Treasury was unable to tell us back in November that actually we would have fewer tax receipts than we expected two months before.

__label__wiki	0.610384	0.610384	The perks of philanthropy: how schools are teaching kids to give It’s the time of year when we pat ourselves on the back for giving; donating money to a local charity or volunteering time to a good cause. It’s a month-long blitz in adult altruism. Yet for a lot of kids, this kind of stuff happens year-round. A growing number of elementary and high schools have committees devoted to community work. This week, the social justice committee at St. Pius X School in Edmonton shipped hundreds of socks to a local homeless mission. Some of the committee’s other projects include reading at a seniors’ centre and handing out backpacks of necessities to people who are homeless. “To give them that opportunity within the four walls of the school makes it really powerful for them,” teacher Sarah Adomako-Ansah said. “They’re able to say, ‘I did that. I helped here. I did this,’ and that’s something they can carry with them as they grow up.” A similar student-led committee at an Etobicoke school launched a food drive this week. The POWERhouse food drive will deliver food to up to 90 families in the community this holiday season. The pride is long lasting. Grade 12 student Jennifer Bauer still remembers how it felt to drop off food to one mother last year. “It was really emotional because when we were bringing in the food to her family she was thanking us for not forgetting her.” While the community reaps the benefits of their generosity, research shows the students are getting intrinsic rewards too. In 2012, Simon Fraser University social psychology researcher Lara Aknin and her team studied toddlers’ physical responses to giving. They presented the toddlers with treats (Goldfish crackers or Teddy Grahams) and asked to share with a monkey puppet. They recorded bigger smiles when a treat was shared compared to when the toddler was given the treats. “We’ve been finding that kids, like adults, feel happier after giving things to others than after receiving things themselves,” Aknin said. “We find this is particularly true when they are engaged in costly giving, so giving away treats that belong to them as opposed to an identical treat that does not.” WATCH: Surprising research shows spending money is the key to happiness Aknin believes this kind of “prosocial behaviour’ is both innate and taught. Based on her own experience with the food drive, Bauer believes we give instinctively. “We all have it in our heart…We see people on the street and we see them suffering. Everyone wants to help them out.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25838
__label__wiki	0.683928	0.683928	Five Bridges: Stories of the Flood – Mike Medaglia, Lisa Woynarski and Farokh Soltani’s Exhibition Looking Back at the 2015 Cumbria Flooding Opens for LICAF Mike Medaglia is one of those creators we’ve been privileged to follow at Broken Frontier from their early days in comics and watch as their work has grown, developed and ultimately gained the far greater recognition it so richly deserves. From his beautifully curated Wu Wei anthology to his meditative One Year Wiser project from SelfMadeHero, Medaglia’s name is synonymous with thoughtful, pensive work that makes the profoundest of emotional connections with its readership. It’s fitting then – given the tone and timbre of his comics and illustration – that Medaglia has collaborated with Lisa Woynarski and Farokh Soltani on the exhibition Five Bridges: Stories of the Flood, centring on the very human and affecting tales behind the flooding that hit Cumbria in 2015. Opening for this weekend’s Lakes International Comic Art Festival you can catch the exhibition at Kendal Museum until November 19th. The full press release is below. Five Bridges: Stories of the Flood is a unique comics exhibition where the human stories of flooding are depicted through comics and brought to life in a dynamic audio performance. “Five Bridges represents an exciting experiment that merges comic art with oral storytelling,” Mike Medaglia explains. “It came out of a desire to tell the human stories behind the devastating flooding in Cumbria in 2015. We spoke to a number of local people to gather their different experiences and view points in hopes of connecting this event to larger environmental contexts.” Featuring five different stories of people who experienced the flooding, it tells the human stories behind the flooding of the River Kent which devastated parts of Kendal. Highlighting the wider picture of the interrelatedness of all human/nature relationships, these stories provide a human experience to the often abstract and complex issue of climate change. After experiencing the stories from the flood, audience members will have a chance to contribute their own responses, drawing a self-portrait and telling their own stories, adding to and growing the exhibition. “We are pleased with how the exhibition came together and are looking forward to responses from the people of Kendal,” Mike continues. “More than that, though, we are excited to see how Five Bridges will grow as people add their own stories of flooding, expanding and enriching our understanding of the impact of this event.” Sponsored by local business Atlantis Kitchens, the exhibition has five stations where visitors put on headphones and are guided through the five different accounts of the floods, moving between panels as the interviews progress. “The five stories are from a range of people living in Kendal, of different age groups and professions, so each give a unique angle on the experience of flooding,” says Mike. “Then, after viewing the exhibition, attendees are encouraged to draw a little portrait and write their own experience of flooding or extreme weather connected to climate change. “Through this the exhibition will grow and evolve while it is on. In the room there will be an atmospheric soundtrack playing of wind, rain and water; while around the room there will be bits of art marking the history of flooding in Kendal.” One of the stories comes from the perspective of Graham Standring, an area ranger with the Lake District National Park, who has been actively involved in the flood recovery work across the park. “Through Five Bridges, people will be able to hear how the floods affected communities in the National Park and how we’re beginning to repair our footpaths and bridges that are used by millions of people every year. We’ve been working hard to ensure the majority of the park was open and accessible ahead of the summer, but there’s still repair work to be done. “One thing remains unchanged though – you will always find a warm welcome in the Lake District.” For more on LICAF visit the site here.

__label__wiki	0.887613	0.887613	Sycamore City Council approves medical marijuana firm's special use permit By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com Note to readers: This story has been updated to reflect the correct size of the space and clarify the limits on medical marijuana sales. SYCAMORE – The City Council approved a special use permit for a medical marijuana dispensary Monday. The Dispensary, LLC., may now proceed with its request to the state of Illinois to be granted permission to operate the dispensary in the district encompassing DeKalb County. The state of Illinois only allows one dispensary per each of its 60 dispensary districts. The council voted 7-0 – all but 2nd Ward Alderman Chuck Stowe were present – to grant the permit to The Dispensary for a new, 2,000- to 3,000-square-foot, ADA-compliant facility that would be built at 1985 Gateway Drive. Luke Debatty, a representative for The Dispensary, said the operation will add eight to 10 jobs to the area. “We’re not looking to truck in people from out of state,” Debatty told the council. “[Employees] will be local community members. We train them. That’s eight to 10 jobs for the community.” Debatty added that there are only about 2,000 medical marijuana patients statewide. “We’re going to need time to build our patient counts,” he said. The Dispensary, if approved by the state, would be open seven days a week from, tentatively, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It would be strictly a retail operation – no growing or cultivating would happen at the site. Patients could receive as much as 2 1/2 ounces of marijuana every two weeks, Debatty said. He also said that most dispensaries are cash only, but the Sycamore location would attempt to include debit and credit card payments, too. Mayor Ken Mundy praised the prospects of The Dispensary and the boon it could be for Sycamore, although he did say dispensaries should be administered by medical facilities such as clinics and hospitals. “The fact that the proposed site is within the medical corridor is gratifying,” Mundy said. “Should the state grant them authority to operate here, we understand the importance of this. It’s well-controlled, and hopefully, it will help some of the people who could use the pain relief that medical marijuana has alleged to provide.” Coming to the table with a negative recommendation by the Planning Commission, the council Monday also shot down another dispensary proposed from Healthway Services of Illinois to operate a dispensary at 2814 DeKalb Ave., the former Lions Club building. “There were some concerns raised about the unknowns, dealing with how many customers will a dispensary have and if that mean’s there’s adequate parking or not,” City Manager Brian Gregory said. “There was concern about pedestrian movements.” The special use permit for a medical marijuana dispensary granted to The Dispensary, LLC by the Sycamore City Council on Monday now goes before the state for final approval.

Nigerian singing sensation, Simisola Ogunleye, popularly known as Simi, who has released many hit singles such as ‘Jamb Question’ and ‘Smile’, has ventured into the movie industry as she is set to star in a new Nollywood film. Afolayan says ‘Mokalik’ is a slight departure from the flicks he had shot in the past, adding that there will be two versions of the film; one for the Nigerian market – the other for the international market. Screen-played by Tunde Babalola, inspiration for the story, according to the filmmaker came during his constant visit to the mechanic workshop where he refurbished his much publicised Vintage car (Thunderbird Ford 1965) recently, while the film title, a Yoruba corrupt pronunciation of mechanic is from a scene in one of his late father (Ade Love)’s classic, ‘Taxi Driver’. “Visiting the mechanic workshop after about 15 years opened my eyes to a lot of things that I believe the world should know about our local auto car repairs industry,” he said. Simi will be playing Simi; daughter of a Buka (cafeteria)owner whose character holds a significant part in the movie plot. In the all-Yoruba cast movie, Simi will be acting alongside notable actors like Femi Adebayo, Ayo Adesanya, Faithia Williams, Lateef Oladimeji and comic actors like Wale Akorede (Okunu), Ayo Ogunshina (Papa Lolo) and Dayo Akinpelu (Alabi Yellow). Ire @kunleafo and a girl with a script she likes very much ? A post shared by Simi (@symplysimi) on Aug 26, 2018 at 7:31am PDT The singer took to her Instagram and announced that she has accepted a role in Kunle Afolayan’s upcoming movie titled ‘Mokalik’. She also share a video of herself with the talented movie maker. Meanwhile, the multi award-winning producer who was also excited for the prospect of working with the singer, revealed that the contract was signed and sealed on Sunday, August 26. It is Official: Simi @symplysimi is featuring in “Mokalik” a Kunle Afolayan film. ‘Jamb Questiom’ crooner, Simisola Ogunleye, aka Simi, has accepted a role in Kunle Afolayan’s coming film, ‘Mokalik’ (Mechanic). The agreement was formalised on Sunday, at the filmmaker’s office, in Lagos. Beaming with smiles, it is obvious that the sonorous singer, who returned with a ‘Yes’ to Afolayan’s Golden Effects’ office after a week of studying the script, cannot wait to make her debut on the big screen. Taking to Instagram minutes later, she shared a voiceless video of herself seated beside Afolayan and flaunting the movie script, with the caption: “@kunleafo and a girl with a script she likes very much.” ‘Mokalik’ (Mechanic) follows the career of an 11-year-old boy, Jaiye, from the middle-class suburbs who spends the day as a lowly apprentice at a mechanic workshop in order to view life from the other side of the tracks. Afolayan says ‘Mokalik’ is a slight departure from the flicks he had shot in the past, adding that there will be two versions of the film; one for the Nigerian market – the other for the international market.

__label__cc	0.68294	0.31706	ZAMILSKA Uncovered May 16, 2019 / electricityclub / Comments Off on ZAMILSKA Uncovered The concept of “Teraz Polska” (Poland Now) has been popularised in the Slavic land on both sides of the Vistula River for years. But could it be that it truly is the time for the Poles to conquer the world of electronica? Polska has found her own GAZELLE TWIN: enter Natalia Zamilska from the famously darkest part of the country, Silesia. Covered in carbon soot, raising deep from the centre of the Earth, she hits hard with her third album ‘Uncovered’. The first parts of the undertaking, ‘Untune’ and ‘Undone’ were the formation of the now established artist and ‘Uncovered’ ushers in the new concepts of unearthing deeply hidden sounds, raising rather than falling and defying gravity. Zamilska draws parallels between life in the mining capital of Poland, with the constant noise, trembles and shakes, the true “attacks against the Earth” and creating meaningful music to excavate the electronic beauty for surface delivery. Katowice may not be the most romantic place on the planet, but it’s certainly a superb backdrop against the industrial sounds which the producer, radio DJ and now vocalist likes to explore. Zamilska is doing well in Poland with her own radio show, regular gigs and her work has been used by Dior for the catwalk in Japan. She has also remixed GAZELLE TWIN, collaborated with Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra and received a nomination for a Fryderyk, the Polish equivalent of a Grammy (named after Chopin of course). ‘Uncovered’ can be best described as artful and thought through. Nothing is random here, from the opening ‘Message’ with whipped cymbals, distorted radio and heavy bells to the closing ‘Done’, the shape bending scenarios are being played over and over again. ‘Hospital’ is a mirror image of GAZELLE TWIN’s works on ‘Unflesh’ with words thrown in for good measure, while ‘Hollow’, featuring the voice of Polish actress Justyna Wasilewska, repeats its rhythm as if through smoke. The mantric sound asks “what should I tell you” in various voices and time shifts. There’s a feeling of dread and images of levitation come to mind. The idea of floating and bending into shapes that are unnatural prevails on this record, being visually presented on the artwork where Zamilska is seen in unworldly positions, as if undergoing an exorcism. ‘Still’ meanders between the two with the sinister voice of a fever induced coma, gathering the strength to enter into ‘Gape’. ‘Alive’ is a synth play, strangely musical and super enticing with unusual punctuations; is Zamilska giving her fellow Polish megastar Nosowska a run for her money here? Run Kaśka, run… Perhaps it’s just a ‘Delusion’, or maybe a mere religious ritual as empty as the Church’s promises. “Wonderful ‘Prisoner’, wonderful” brings the notion of Earth trembling, being forced to part with its precious resources she had been guarding for centuries. Or are we all ‘Blind’ to the obvious? ‘Back’ and ‘Front’ are both cinematic and epiphany bringing, and in Zamilska’s case it’s simple: “I think I only have one dream, to continue to do what I do, to make music. I finished one stage and have started the next – it’s a strange time full of thinking. There is something around the corner, and I just need to be calm. I’m always saying that to myself: calm down Zamilska, calm down.” Feeling that the instrumentation wasn’t quite enough to convey all she wanted, the Silesian magician introduced vocals to level “the play between the rising up, letting go and being vulnerable, while still being deeply anchored”. If this is the level of Polish alternative electronica, then the rest of Europe should be afraid, or perhaps Zamilska is merely proving that the Polish are “narodem wybranym…” ‘Uncovered’ is available now as a download direct from https://zamilskaofficial.bandcamp.com/ – vinyl LP and CD released on 19th July 2019 http://zamilska.com/ https://www.facebook.com/zamilska/ https://twitter.com/zamilska https://www.instagram.com/zamilska/ Text by Monika Izabela Trigwell Posted in Reviews Tagged with Gazelle TwinZamilska COM TRUISE Persuasion System THE DEPARTMENT Pressure EP	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25886

__label__wiki	0.515633	0.515633	Divine Dao Library Pivot of the Sky – Chapter 101, Farewell to the Gods June 23, 2019 June 23, 2019 by Silavin <<Previous Chapter Index Next Chapter>> Translator, Editor and Proofread: theunfetteredsalmon Lynk and the other cavemen in the new Duc town had a dream the same night. Even those who did not sleep dreamt the same thing. El Mar was no exception. The dream showed a gorgeous goddess donning a long skirt that glittered like golden stars. She was charming and beautiful and held an ivy cane. The woman claimed to be the patron goddess Mourrin, arriving to deliver an oracle. The goddess will bless those who’ve built their homes in her domain with magical and astonishing wealth to develop into a city. Amon, the messenger of the gods, will guide them to find a buried treasure before holding a sacrificial ceremony to open it. What Mourrin left behind could not only be used to create various magical weapons, it can also be spent on hiring wandering warriors and craftsmen from all over the continent. This additional wealth will be kept and used by Amon. The cave-dwellers, who were new to the outside world, had suddenly all dreamt of such a goddess and thought it inconceivable but on hearing Amon’s name and seeing their own god Amon holding the goddess Mourrin affectionally, they firmly believed in the oracle. After dawn, Lynk convened with his clansmen to hold a ceremony of prayer, putting up an altar and offered sacrifices to Amon and Mourrin. Interestingly, the cave-dwellers placed Amon’s name before Mourrin when they prayed. They did so naturally. In their dreams, they saw the half a head taller Amon embracing Mourrin. Lynk and the others only ever worshipped fire until Amon arrived and became their only god. The cat was a messenger of the god. The sacrifice to the goddess Mourrin was not only because of the blessings in the oracle, but it was also more importantly because of Amon. All the tribes eagerly looked forward to the return of God Amon, and for their visions to come true. Of course, Metatro also attended the prayer ceremony, reciting and exclaiming in his heart, “God Amon, God Amon, you are marvellous to hold a goddess as such in your arms. There is nothing you cannot do…” Metatro always knew that Amon wasn’t really a god. When they first met, Amon was just a child who knew magic and saved his life. Metatro called Amon a god because he wanted to learn magic. He was also doing it to follow tradition with Lynk. But later, Amon gradually taught Metatro the power of both sides, making him a sorcerer and warrior at the same time. This was an incredible miracle in any country. As Lynk said, “You are my only God,” Metatro repeated it with no hesitation in mind. When he passed the test of Faith’s Confirmation, he had already regarded Amon as a true god. Who could say that a god was a statue in the temple and not a real, living person? Metatro preferred real gods like Amon, who was at least more genuine to him than the gods often worshipped in shrines. Ignoring Metatro and Lynk’s anticipation, Amon walked through the Charcoal Forest staff in hand until he finally saw the high walls of Syah city from afar. He grew up in the territory of Syah and has travelled to many places on the mainland. Today, it was his first time going to Syah city. Inanna did not follow Amon to Syah. They separated at the edge of the Charcoal Forest. Before leaving, the goddess smiled and asked, “Amon, who is Icho?” Clearly, Inanna saw the other message in the Terroculos. “An old friend,” Amon answered. “She has been to the town of Duc.” Inanna put out her hand and pointed at the tip of her nose teasingly. “Is it a girl you can’t forget? Youth and life will eventually pass away. Any moment of forgetfulness is a remembrance of wealth. I will keep this message for you. Perhaps one day, you will erase it of your own accord. Between you and me, Goddess Persephoni ridiculed me for the men I loved because they did not see a happy ending. Regardless of whether they loved me back, she is wrong.” Amon had no desire to talk about this topic but he brought himself to ask, “What is she wrong about?” “Everyone will experience life and death,” Inanna said. “Of course, in the eyes of a god, there is no good ending. As for the curse that plagues me, I have been thinking about it; is it because the men I fell in love with do not live forever or does he need to live his life with no regrets?” When he entered the city of Syah, Amon pondered Inanna’s question. Did the sentimental Inanna really fall for him? That was not necessarily true. He felt good about her and perhaps she always tempted him, but Amon is not entirely averse to it. After all, Inanna only ever helped him. He chose to go to the Underworld and put himself in harm’s way. He also chose to guide the descendants of Duc back home. Inanna could just be solving her own puzzle. It seems that the gods also have troubles with the gods. The guards of Syah City were fairly lenient. Amon entered the city without trouble. Located on the southeastern edge of the Hittite Empire, Syah was a major strategic town on the border. It was also an important area for producing fine iron and parangons. However, since the flood cut off land transportation with neighbouring cities, it has stayed quiet for several years and residents of the city seemed relaxed and somewhat lazy. Amon came to Syah for two purposes. One was the retrieve the deed of the town of Duc and the other was to see Golier. When Moses was forced to leave Syah, he left the land deed of Duc hidden somewhere in the city. He did not tell Amon, the envoy of the Temple of Isis, but he told Allaha, the one who appeared as a god. In Crazy’Ole’s messages, Golier was specifically mentioned. Crazy’Ole had hoped that Amon would find an opportunity to see Golier. He was sure that even if Golier refused to help, he would not make things difficult for Amon. The Amon now knew that he was exiled from Duc to avoid the impending disaster. It was also Golier who had privately instructed Mayor Dusti to banish Amon. An esteemed supreme mage travelled to Duc for the sake of a small, insignificant miner. This was not a small favour. When Amon arrived and inquired a little about Syah, he found out that the situation was not what it used to be. Anyone who mentioned the great Golier would speak of him with vigorous admiration and respect on their face. Disrespect towards Golier would typically be rewarded with violence! Golier was now a supreme mage of the ninth level who stayed as the chief priest of Syah. His status in the city was comparable to that of a god, the only difference being that he did not have the title of god. Golier’s words as a message were possibly as effective as the word of Enlil himself. However, the people of Syah would not overstep and call Golier a god. In recent years, Golier was rarely seen in public. It was said that he devoted himself to practising magic in the temple. The affairs of the city were thus handed down to the governer Fermien Schmul, Golier’s disciples Raphael and Warret and officials of various departments. The city did not have much to it and people lived and worked in their own right. It was not easy to seek an audience with Golier, especially since Amon’s identity was a sensitive issue. The Kingdom of Hittite had ordered him to be beheaded, ordered directly by the King through his emissary, but the order was not yet executed as Amon was sent to carry out another order. Now that he’s back, there were things he had to deal with. Amon met Golier’s disciples Warret and Raphael in the desert under the guise of Allaha. The two high priests warmly invited him to visit Syah. Perhaps this was a viable route if Amon wanted to see Golier. Amon heard of another incident that also surprised him. Warret had returned from Uruk City. Before he left to Uruk, Warret was an advanced mage of the sixth level, but now he was a seventh level mage! The people of Syah were visibly delighted with his improvement, believing that it was a symbol of the glory of Syah City and the blessing of the gods. This only drove the people to worship Golier even more. It seemed like there was more than one young talented genius on the mainland. Amon also recently had a breakthrough and was now a supreme sorcerer, just like Warret. Before both of them, however, was the great Adoratrice of the Temple of Isis. The talk around the town was that Raphael had not yet returned, unlike Warret. Amon was not in a hurry to find Warret. He first went to retrieve the title deed for the land of Duc, which was hidden in the manor that Mayor Dusti had purchased. It was practically hidden in plain sight. Amon had also acquired a manor in Memfis City, which sported a private shrine in the backyard, formerly dedicated to King Horus. He replaced the statue of Horus with a statue of Bastet, the goddess of cats. Dusti’s manor in Syah was much larger, but it also had a shrine in the backyard to Enlil. When Moses and the others were forced to leave, the manor was occupied by a group of vagabonds and the courtyards were rife with people. The vagabonds claimed that there were casualties among friends and relatives in the clash against the descendants of Duc and that the residence was compensation. The governer Schmul was not very good at his job and did not do anything about the occupation in the manor for the past two years. However, the shrine in the backyard was empty. No one dared to occupy it. After all, the people of the city were most afraid of blaspheming their god Enlil, so the shrine was left alone. The land deed was hidden in the base under the feet of the statue to Enlil. Attached to them was a stone slab that would show no sign of hollowing or opening even when lifted. Amon climbed over the wall at night and entered the backyard in the manor. He was already a supreme sorcerer and warrior, which meant that he was highly agile and adept at hiding his tracks. It was practically impossible for anyone to find him. Staff in hand, Amon quietly arrived at the shrine. No one had come to this corner of the estate for a long time. There was no trace of sacrifice nor lights for prayer over the altar. The stone figure of Enlil stood quietly in the dark. Amon stretched out his staff and pointed it at the foot of the statue. It levitated into the air and remained immobile until Amon recited a few words. Then, a square crack showed on the base of the statue, where there was originally a hole. A stone slab with a few items on top slid out and fluttered onto the ground. With a wave of his other hand, Amon took the items into his Ventussalte. He lowered his staff and put the stone slab and statue in their original position. The items Amon took included, of course, the original deed to the town of Duc, a special parangon as well as twenty gold parans. This was most likely Mayor Dusti’s idea as it was well thought out. Even if the shrine was demolished, the statue of Enlil would be carefully moved elsewhere so that the concealed items would not be found. After Dusti’s death, Moses would have been the only one who knew the secret. In addition to the land deed, the special parangon Dusti concealed was a Ventussalte, which holds the value of five hundred ordinary parangons. This was a huge wealth. As for the twenty gold parans, it was thoughtfully placed so that the Ventussalte would not be recognised. The gold parans could also act as loose change for smaller expenses. Even if future generations went broke, they would live comfortably for the rest of their lives should they come across this wealth. Amon has been to many temples and shrines, but this one felt different to him. In some temples, the solemn statues seemed to have a hint of mysterious life, watching over people who were prostrated in prayer. Interestingly, in order to amuse Schrodinger, Amon put up a statue of the Goddess of cats Bastet in his manor in Memfis, but that shrine was where this feeling was the strongest. The statue was almost alive, and when Amon walked in, he could feel some kind of gaze upon him. But there was no such feeling in this shrine. The statue of Enlil was nothing but cold, hard stone. Amon accounted for the items and turned to walk out of the shrine. At the entrance, he suddenly turned back again and seemed to say something to himself – “Enlil, great god, your eyes do not watch this sacred place! The people of the town of Duc put the last of their wealth at your feet to seek asylum, but instead, they were forced to leave the city to be enslaved by foreigners. Today, I am repossessing the wealth once bestowed upon you as these no longer belong to you. This is not a betrayal because you let the worshippers go of your own accord! God Enlil, from you, we have nothing more to ask or wish for. I take the inheritance of Duc and bid you farewell.” When the words left Amon’s mouth, he did not know the origin behind the great flood that destroyed his home, nor did he know how Crazy’Ole challenged Enlil directly and died in the process. The only person who knew this secret was someone he was here in Syah to visit: Golier. Meanwhile, in a secret room in the Temple of Enlil in Syah, Golier was going over information that Warret recorded with message magic. The scene was of the meeting between Warret, Amon and Girtublullu in the desert. One segment of the scene was playing back repeatedly. The voices of the Scorpion King and Amon were heard over and over again: “If I violate the covenant, I will never become a deity.” “If I violate the covenant, I will forever be a mortal human.” After a long time of waiting, Warret gave in to his impatience and asked carefully, “Master, why don’t you speak? On behalf of the city of Syah, I made a vow with the Scorpion King. Have I done something wrong to violate your teachings?” Golier raised and shook his head. “No, you did not do anything wrong. This covenant is to be announced to all of Syah in the form of decrees so as not to cause unnecessary casualties in the future for those travelling through the desert. I am just thinking about the Scorpion King and Allaha… The vows they made for each other were not simple. The young man is clearly not simple. You have become a supreme mage and Allaha’s achievements are likely no less than yours.” Warret nodded his head in agreement. “Yes. When Allaha showed his hand, he was obviously stronger than me. The vows between both of them… despite how absurd the vows are, they were extremely serious, which means there is a secret I do not know of. That was why I recorded it to show you, Teacher.” Silavin: We will be posting 3 chapters this week with one being on Monday. theunfetteredsalmon might be busy so, there might be weeks with 2 chapters a week.

This is temple is very famous and a pioneer in Annadhanam (feeding the mass). The modern, hygienic, automated kitchen of this temple has been designed to feed 30,000 to 70,000 pilgrims on any given day. Padma Vibhushan Shri D.Veerendra Heggade,who is the Dharmadhikari (CEO), is instrumental behind this eco friendly kitchen and its operations.The kitchen and the food preparation process, serving food to thousands was recently featured on National Geographic channel as one of the most efficient and resourceful mass kitchens of India. The history of the temple dates back to 800 years. Dharmasthala was known as Kuduma, where lived a village chief called Birmanna Pergade and his wife Ammu Ballalthi in a house called Nelyadi Beedu. They were pious and affectionate couple known for their generosity and hospitality . According to legend, four Dharma devadais (guardian angels) Kalarahu, Kalarkai, Kumaraswamy and Kanyakumari arrived at Pergade’s home as mortals in search of a place where Dharma was being practiced .The Pergade couple hosted these adithis (guests) with all their humility and hospitality. Pleased by their sincerity that night the Dharma devadas appeared in the dreams of Birmanna Pergade, asked him to vacate his house for the worship of the God Dharma and dedicate his life to the propagation of Dharma.Without hesitation, the Pergade moved out of his house and began worshipping the Deities at Nelyadi Beedu. This continues even today. These Dharma devas appeared in Pergade's dream and asked him to construct seperate shrines for them. Pergade built the shrines and invited brahmin priests to perform the temple rituals. These priests requested Pergade to also install a Shivlinga beside the native devadais. A local person serving Pergade called Annappa Swamy was sent to procure the idol of Lord Manjunatheshwara from Kadri, near Mangalore. Later, Shree Manjunatha Swamy temple was built around this idol. Around the 16th century, Shri Devaraja Heggade, the chief care taker of the temple in the Pergade family lineage, invited Shri Vadiraja Thirtha of Udupi to visit the place. Swami Vadiraja sensed that idol of Lord Manjunatha had not been consecrated according to the agama sastras (vedic rites). Shri Heggade then requested the Swamiji to reconsecrate the Shiva Linga himself. The Swamiji named the place Dharmasthala meaning the abode of religion and charity. The charity work established by the Pergades 800 years ago have been nurtured and maintained by 21 generations of the Heggade family.

__label__wiki	0.527163	0.527163	59 November 9, 2012 January 24, 2016 Full House Take 2: Episode 5 by kaedejun New questions are raised in this episode despite the revelations we get concerning our beloved Take One boys. It’s surprising how much is packed into this episode considering we’re only at Episode 5, and while the fun continues, this storyline is getting a bit more serious than I had expected. “Love Note” by Ailee for Full House OST [download] Man-ok wakes up to hear the din outside, and she’s shocked to find Tae-ik in bed with her. The two of them are so flustered at the thought of being caught together in a mobile home that they quickly hide under the covers. Yep – you totally wouldn’t get caught with your butt sticking out from under the blankets like that. Being under the covers is too close for comfort for the two of them, and so they quickly abandon that plan. Man-ok is slightly disoriented and wonders why she’s inside the mobile home instead of outside, where she clearly remembers falling asleep with the cat. Tae-ik is no help, accusing her of sleepwalking. (Really – you don’t remember carrying her inside?) She realizes the cat is not around and opens the door to look. Ack – don’t open the door! In comes Bum-soo, scandalized at seeing the two together. He quickly shuts the door (and thank God none of the searchers have found them yet) and eyes the two of them. Tae-ik: “It’s not what you think!” Suurreee… Bum-soo decides to misdirect the search team and instructs them to leave separately. Problem is, someone captured all of them in the mobile home with his/her phone through the window. The three of them have a silent but agonizing ride home: Man-ok is confused over how she got into the mobile home; Tae-ik puzzles over the whereabouts of the sleeping bag she was in; and Bum-soo wonders if maybe… just maybe… they slept together? Meanwhile Kang-hwi is out shopping and finds that a bunch of things were purchased at his favorite store already. He wonders who his wonderful benefactor is and finds a card with a hotel suite marked on it. He heads over, ignoring an urgent call from Go-dong to come to the company for a bit since it’s his day off. He refuses to divulge where he’s going and whom he’s meeting. However, a shady character with a shawl around his head suspiciously follows him up to the floor of the suite. Kang-hwi is momentarily suspicious of the stalker, but sees him stop at another hotel room. He then knocks on the hotel suite and an elegant but much older woman comes out to greet him in her bathrobe. Stalker captures it all on his camera. Looks like someone’s out to get the dirt on Take One. But Kang-hwi’s shopping benefactor is not some sugar mama that he’s entertaining for material goods. Nope – it’s his mother! Apparently they’ve been separated for a while, and they sometimes sneak away to see each other every so often. Mrs. Won misses him so much that she wishes he would quit singing and return to her, but Kang-hwi points out she has Chairman Won to keep her company. She has no cares for the sickly Chairman, and wishes that he would claim his rightful place in the family. Everything she does for the Chairman is really for Kang-hwi’s sake. Wait – so Mrs. Won is trying to make sure Kang-hwi becomes a proper chaebol? Kang-hwi doesn’t like talking about family matters, so he gives his mother a hug and leaves. Stalker captures it all and informs his employer that he’s got good dirt on Kang-hwi. Tae-ik and Bum-soo make a stop at a local lounge, where Lee Joon requires his presence. Apparently, Lee Joon is trying to smooth things over with the marketing director that Tae-ik socked. It’s also the first time Man-ok hears of the punching incident. Lee Joon wants Tae-ik to beg for forgiveness; Tae-ik looks like he’d rather wear the cat pajamas than do that. The marketing director wants Tae-ik to pour him a shot of alcohol, and Lee Joon practically grabs Tae-ik and pushes the alcohol over to him. So Tae-ik takes the bottle. And he pours it. And he keeps on pouring it… all over the guy’s hand. In the bathroom, Lee Joon yells at Tae-ik for his haughty behavior: “You’re nothing but a singer and a model. He’s the one who hired you!” Tae-ik replies with a smirk; that response is so similar to what the director told him before. Perhaps they planned all of this out on purpose? Besides, why must they take this company’s commercial if there are others available? Lee Joon: “YOU’RE JUST MY PUPPET!” Harsh words, sir. Harsh words. Tae-ik: “Then you take care of it. The puppet doesn’t have to be involved in these things.” Wise words, sir. Wise words. Back at home, Man-ok waits for Tae-ik to return. She’s already learned that the estate used to belong to Tae-ik’s family, as his parents were top architectures back in the day. Lee Joon now owns the entire estate, but Tae-ik’s been slowly buying parts of it back, using his salary to buy his portion of the house. As she explores another pathway to the house, she remembers the treelined path back to her memories as a child. FINALLY. She remembers that she’s been there before with Grandpa. Let’s hope she’s figured out that Tae-ik is the same haughty kid that thought she was a boy. She sees him returning home and hands over an herbal pain-relieving patch for his back that’s also good for sensitive skin. Tae-ik actually looks touched by her gesture, and he accepts it quietly. At that moment, Man-ok’s stomach growls loudly, so she takes her leave. But he has a heart, and he invites her out to eat. Man-ok’s stomach is grumbling so forcefully that she’s hoping they’ll stop by just anywhere for some food. I think Tae-ik just enjoys hearing it grumble while she’s too ashamed to address it. He has to go to one of the most expensive restaurants, and though he makes it seem like he’s a picky eater, he really just wants to treat her out to something nice. The amount of food that he orders is borderline ridiculous, as he fills their entire table with expensive dishes. “You have to finish from here to here!” he gestures, and Man-ok finally agrees that they’ll eat til they die. As Tae-ik is about to grab a bite, Man-ok picks up her phone – it’s Kang-hwi on the other line. Man-ok steps outside to take the call, but Tae-ik can barely take a bite of his food when he hears Kang-hwi’s voice. Kang-hwi is drinking his sorrows away at a bar called Playground, and he requests Man-ok to come by now. She promises to stop by after she eats, and tries to hurry her meal with Tae-ik. And then – we get a flashback to Kang-hwi’s sad story. He was a young happy boy living with his mother, a hairdresser, when suddenly loan sharks/kidnappers throw a brick into the glass doors. The shards end up in Kang-hwi’s eyes, and seeing blood come out of his eyes is actually quite sickening. The kidnappers separate the child from his mother, and take him away to Chairman Won’s home in China. He sits at the dinner table with an eye patch, all by his lonesome, and an elder “sister” takes pity on him. She gestures to the maid to help him get some of the fried shrimp, but the bratty younger sister refuses, taking a piece first even though Chairman Won grunts disapprovingly. It only emphasizes Kang-hwi’s loneliness, so he cries. The wife takes no pity and sends him out, and her lack of approval for the child makes the chairman lose his appetite. I can only guess now that Kang-hwi’s mother was formerly the mistress, and now the second wife. Either way, Kang-hwi doesn’t want to return to that home. Man-ok is so full, but Tae-ik keeps putting stuff in his mouth, ever so slowly now that he knows she’s just trying to go see Kang-hwi. He won’t let her leave until he finishes, or else she has to pay the bill of W570,000. She has no choice but nibble at more food while Kang-hwi texts her, asking why she’s late. Kang-hwi finds himself finishing an entire bottle, and in the company of an unwanted guest, Jay, the upstart hoobae who wants Kang-hwi’s commercial deal. Jay offers his own bottle, but before he brings it in he adds a sleeping drug into the bottle. Stalker is with him, and he finds drugging Kang-hwi unnecessary since he’s already got the video at the hotel. But Jay wants to be sure. I can’t believe this is all for a commercial shoot. Jay finds Kang-hwi asleep and turns off his phone. Then he pours another drink for Kang-hwi just to be sure he’ll be out like a light, and then takes him out of the club in Stalker’s car, unconscious. Back at home, Tae-ik is suffering from indigestion, though he believes it’s impossible for him to get indigestion with such expensive food. After much squirming, Man-ok successfully pricks his finger to let the blood out. Tae-ik looks absolutely heartbroken over his pierced skin, and Man-ok threatens to poke his toe if he doesn’t feel better after a bit. She goes to get him some water and medicine, and he sits on the couch sucking his thumb, but smiling that she cares so much. When she returns, Tae-ik is already asleep on the couch, still sucking on his thumb. Too precious. Realizing the time, she rushes out and notices Kang-hwi’s still not home. Nor is he picking up his phone. Where could he be? Innocent Man-ok thinks that “Playground” means the playground near the company, and she mistakes a drunken man on the see-saw for Kang-hwi. Kang-hwi wakes up in some cheap motel half-naked. He turns on his phone and calls Go-dong for help, who picks him up in a small, obscure car. Kang-hwi has no idea how he ended up there, and Go-dong wonders if Kang-hwi’s hiding a woman. He drives him to the company, where Tae-ik’s meeting him for practice, and he can’t be late. Meanwhile, Jay has gone to Lee Joon with pictures of Kang-hwi in bed with another man (presumably Stalker). Lee Joon discreetly takes out a mini recorder and asks Jay what he wants. It’s simple: the commercial. (Such lengths for a commercial!) Lee Joon finds it all suspect and gets Jay to admit that he took the pictures himself instead of photoshopping it. Jay even threatens to release it to the press, since he knows a reporter. Sure, a reporter that Lee Joon introduced him to. Lee Joon then plays back the recording and Jay realizes the jig is up. He tries to argue that he has a video of Kang-hwi at the hotel with his sponsor, but Lee Joon won’t buy it. He adds that Star Entertainment gave Kang-hwi a huge sum of money if he could bring Tae-ik with him away from “UEnterLJ,” but Lee Joon doesn’t believe that they could ever betray him. Or even if he thinks they will, he refuses to let Jay think that he does. Instead, he threatens to reveal Jay’s relationship with a female idol if he doesn’t hand over the original photos and leave. Well that fire’s been put out. Kang-hwi arrives at the company first and notices Jay leaving. But he doesn’t think too hard on it when he realizes he’s beat Tae-ik to the location. They go to the studio and hear music playing, but it’s not their backup dancers practicing. Instead, it’s Man-ok using some of her hapkido moves to the beat of their song. Dismissed by Tae-ik, Kang-hwi follows her out to ask where she was. She says she was at the playground at 11, waiting by the swings for an hour. Kang-hwi: “Playground has swings?” Tae-ik comes upon them like a jealous schoolboy making sure his girl doesn’t talk to other boys. He’s miffed that she left him all alone to look for Kang-hwi, when in reality he was comfortably sleeping already. He exaggerates a cough and warns her that he’d better not get sick because of her. Take One practices their routine with their backup dancers, and as soon as they all take a break, Man-ok rushes in to pick up her bag. But then her phone starts ringing, and she freaks to find out it’s Grandpa. She screams “QUIET!” (though no one’s really speaking) and then picks up the phone, telling Grandpa she’s in the middle of a class. She then yells at everyone to start shouting after her. Everyone gives her a blank look. But then Kang-hwi realizes she needs ambient shouts of a hapkido class going, and he starts shouting, encouraging everyone to follow along. They all start goofing off, pretending they’re actually practicing punches and kicks, except for Tae-ik, who prefers to just watch the ridiculousness. Afterwards, Kang-hwi wants to take her out to eat, and he suggests some kalbi and rice cakes. That nearly gives Tae-ik another bout of indigestion as that’s what he and Man-ok had the night before. Go-dong suggests pizza, and Kang-hwi excitedly suggests a good Italian restaurant. But Tae-ik wants to go to a fast food pizza place (that looks suspiciously like Domino’s). They get a 30% discount there. Ha – cheapskate Tae-ik’s back. And with Go-dong’s special requests for lots of toppings, it’s clear they go to this pizza place a lot. They sit in front of the TV eating the pizza while Tae-ik meticulously chops up his salad. Go-dong turns on the TV and they watch an interview with actress Jin Se-ryung. She’s Go-dong and Man-ok’s favorite star, but the sight of her nearly makes Kang-hwi gag. When Tae-ik comes into the living room, Kang-hwi quickly shuts off the TV in consideration of him. But Go-dong turns it back on, not knowing what the big deal is. They catch the part where Se-ryung announces her return back to her roots in Korea, and that only makes Kang-hwi more nervous. Tae-ik puts down the salad and leaves for his room. Tae-ik opens the back of a photo frame that has a picture of his parents. There’s another photo of him sleeping with Se-ryung and Kang-hwi around his arms. It brings back another memory of that night the photo was taken. Se-ryung and Kang-hwi had gotten up at the same time and left the room, thinking that Tae-ik was asleep. But he wakes up and follows them outside… Only to see Se-ryung forcefully kissing Kang-hwi. OUCH. Betrayed! So Se-ryung was Tae-ik’s ex, and I can guess that perhaps the duo were good friends until this happened. In Kang-hwi’s defense, he did look awfully uncomfortable, and was struggling against her. Se-ryung also gives a sideways glance to make sure Tae-ik sees exactly what she’s doing. That same evening, Lee Joon has a meal with his mentor, the one who introduced him to Tae-ik’s parents. Mentor is a little concerned about the company and reminds Lee Joon to make sure the company’s image remains good. It also turns out that Lee Joon’s been courting Se-ryung to join their agency, which could be a huge boon for them. Se-ryung has one condition (we don’t know what), but it seems to put Lee Joon in a bit of a sticky situation. His assistant comes back with results from Kang-hwi’s eye test. The papers say that Kang-hwi will become blind, and so Lee Joon visits the doctor himself for confirmation. Apparently the accident when he was younger was far more severe than initially perceived. Kang-hwi’s eyesight will keep getting worse and is nearly impossible to repair. The best thing he can do to delay the rapid deterioration is to remain stress-free and to stop doing shows where the stage lights can hurt him. With all the different pieces of advice running through his head, he makes a decision. He wants the earliest flight available out of Korea, stat. (He’s running away?) Lee Joon then wants to meet with Kang-hwi right away, who’s busy trying to create new choreography with the hapkido moves he saw Man-ok do. He gives Kang-hwi his passport, a ticket, and an envelope, and sends him off to go “rest.” (Oh, so he’s not running away… but he’s sending Kang-hwi?) Kang-hwi’s puzzled over the sudden vacation and takes a look at the envelope. Instead of his test results (which is what I expected), it’s photos of him in the hotel. Lee Joon pretends to be equally shocked and outraged over the photos, and Kang-hwi has no way to explain them. Unfortunately, he does recognize the hotel’s pillows and realizes that he must have been framed. Though Lee Joon assures him that he took care of the situation, he wants Kang-hwi to disappear for a few days. Go-dong drives Kang-hwi to the airport, unsure as to why Kang-hwi’s being sent off so suddenly. Kang-hwi tries to contact Man-ok to say goodbye, but learns that she’s with Tae-ik at a radio show. He needs a stylist because this radio show is going to be streamed live, and he needs to look like a fashionista. During the show, Tae-ik works hard to charm more fans, and shows off his drumming skills (since Noh Min-woo was the drummer for TRAX). At the airport, Go-dong gets a sudden burst of affection for Kang-hwi and hugs him tightly before sending him off through security. Haha, so embarrassing. He then calls up Lee Joon to confirm that Kang-hwi’s gone, and Lee Joon orders his assistant to “do as planned.” While waiting for his delayed flight, Kang-hwi takes a look at the latest entertainment news… and an article of him, with pictures, comes out declaring that he has a male lover. OHMYGOD! LEE JOON!! Kang-hwi covers himself up even more at the airport and passes by a TV, broadcasting an emergency press conference with Lee Joon regarding the scandal. Meanwhile Tae-ik and Man-ok hear suspicious comments in the radio broadcasting station regarding Kang-hwi, and they go check out a nearby TV. Lee Joon: “Regarding Kang-hwi’s private life, we’ve tried our best to keep his privacy, but looking at it from a societal perspective we have decided to ban Won Kang-hwi from Take One.” This drama has just dived off the deep end into a Pool of Crazy Melodrama. While the situation overall is pretty insane and presumably funny, it’s not treated with a comedic tone at all. My interpretation is that Lee Joon’s been courting Se-ryung for a while to join his company, but her condition in joining is to make sure Kang-hwi is not part of UEnterLJ. Though we haven’t formally met her, she seems to be a bonafide selfish witch. My guess is that for the sake of her career she betrayed Tae-ik long ago by using Kang-hwi. She created a rift between them, and went on to be successful. Now that she’s a hot star, she wants Tae-ik back, but she can’t have him back with Kang-hwi around. Hence, get rid of Kang-hwi. It’s perfect that Jay got those scandalous photos of Kang-hwi, though whether Lee Joon helped manipulate Jay’s animosity toward Kang-hwi to begin with or not is still unclear. Added to the fact that Kang-hwi may become blind in the future, Lee Joon realizes that Kang-hwi is more of a liability to the agency. He then decides to release those photos in order to have good reason to kick Kang-hwi out of the group. Kang-hwi’s sexual orientation should not affect his participation in Take One, even though it’s all a lie. It’s unfair and closed-minded, even though the whole scandal and publicity of it all can ruin one’s career and image in general (just like divorces or marriages between celebrities can too). But for the sake of this drama I can see why it must be done. Kang-hwi’s exit from the group will cause more obstacles for Take One and for Tae-ik. Take One is not “Tae-ik One,” so there’s got to be a way for Kang-hwi to return and expose all the lies. In addition, it helps pave the way for a fake relationship to occur between Man-ok and Tae-ik. (Yes, despite all this drama’s differences from its predecessor, I steadfastly still believe that this one plot point will hold over in this “sequel.”) Either Tae-ik gets roped into the scandal and must prove his sexual orientation by being in a relationship with Man-ok, or he uses Man-ok to show Se-ryung that he’s over her and doesn’t want anything to do with her. The latter option would certainly take the wind out of Se-ryung’s sails, and make it more difficult for the agency to profit off of their romance. But enough theorizing on the plot. This episode certainly has shed a lot of light on Tae-ik and Kang-hwi’s tumultuous past, and I’m quite grateful to see that they led such complicated lives that makes them who they are. There’s a true bromance beneath all that rivalry, and I’d love to see it return front and center. Though the storyline is veering towards crazy-ville, I am enjoying the touch of meta in this drama that’s making it a bit more about the world these stars live in rather than just the romance between two people stuck together all the time. Full House Take 2 finally gets an airdate Full House 2 lands its stars in a pit Full House 2 finally confirms cast Tags: featured, Full House Take 2, Hwang Jung-eum, Noh Min-woo, Park Ki-woong 1 Mystisith Why Crazyland, show? Manga and makjang can't get along well... It's not even REAL makjang... it's Kpop makjang, which is 10 times more insane. crazedlu furreals. 2 kakashi but .... the Hair!!!! ck1Oz Well can't believe I am saying this but the acting overcame the hair issue.I hardly ever notice it now. Lovebug Ha!!!!! This!!! that is so interesting. See, the hair is actually keeping me from even starting to watch this. It makes me shudder. Moustaches and/or perms ... not my thing. lemonade candy i was turned off in the beginning too; but now i can overlook it...hahaha Betsy Hp Ditto! Actually -- even further into crazy land... I think the curly hair works for Tae-ik. It's like the sign of his personality or something. (And so Man-ok has... couple hair? That works, right?) What's with the fox butt on a floral sports coat look?.....that's sinister enough.... 3 annie Thanks for the recap Kaedejun! The end of this episode was so WTF. LJ's action make NO sense whatsoever. Why not just expose the fact that he's going blind and it's harmful to his eye to be on stage performing under bright lights? That way they can look like they're looking out for him and come out smelling like roses. Instead of creating mass netizen hysteria and causing the company stocks to crash. Real smart, crazy fur man. I feel like we have way too many crazy plot elements and this story is getting a bit overly dramatic, so I hope we can get back to the cute and zany stuff, which is what is so cracktastic about this show. 4 marid Was I the only one that could not stop laughing because of Man-Ok necklace??? I was teddy bears, teddy beards on a necklace!!! How is this this woman a stylist??? Thanks for the recap :) hahahahha, i had the same thought! Her clothes and fashion is really awful! I watch alot of dramas and now follow Kpop and no one is a consistently bad crazy dresser as she is. ladysarahii Yeah, the teddy bear necklace was so bizarre looking! Like, who thought that was a good idea? maybe the show is trying to make fun of the pop idols as style icons who do sometimes wear the tackiest things and get away with it. I think so. I'm starting to believe this show is kind of a parody. The fashion, the melodrama out of nowhere... Not sure, exactly, what they are parodying, but I sense that might kind of be the case. PersonaInnominatum Not to mention, hell-like agencies! Core Contents Media and kim kwang su comes to mind when i watch this drama. 5 Cabbage Wouldn't it make more sense to have a fake relationship between KH and MO? 6 Russe12 I am enjoying this way too much. xD Thanks so much for the recaps! 7 Lovebug So I am on board for the crazy and the cute! I just hope they can resolve the Kang Hwi gay scandal quickly. Bring on the Bromance! i also hope he is not really going blind, he is already the second lead no need have him get hit by a train in addition to also not getting the girl. Pamie I so agree with you, Lovebug, not fair for him to lose his career, the girl AND his sight. I'm actually enjoying the crazy... I waited until now to catch up on this drama, didn't think I would like it,LOL. Now I can't wait for the next epi. Lost career, not getting the girl, losing his sight, and the his family doesn't want him either ...boohoo, that is a lot for the first few episodes 8 mimi08 LOL just realized that GO DONG is ALCHEON in QUEEN SEOK DEOK (hope I spelled that right..) haha.. I Just can't believe it at first..He was my 1st favorite character in that drama (aside from Deok Man), he was ridiculously bad ass, awesome, and cool as the royal guard.. I love how hot he was when he offered his life for the princess , and when he swore loyalty for Deok Man.. He's not so hot here,, but well..it's his character.. he's a lil bit funny though.. 9 ninji I'm so onboard this crazy-train, will definitely finish this. 10 Betsy Hp I am so enjoying the crazy! :D Lee Joon is so deliciously evil; he needs to grow a mustache so he can twirl it whenever he plots. My vague theory is he's trying to undermine mentor-guy too, or something like that. So stocks going down is good for him. I'm not sure it's logical, but... it's crazy land! And Lee Joon is eeeeeevil. Mystisith It feels so strange to see the same actor here and in May Queen where he plays the most adorable ahjussi ever. Oh my gosh, that's the weirdest thing about k-dramas. An actor will be all over adorable in one thing and then the sleaziest sleaze in the next. Fun for them, mind bending for us. mokimchiplz Maybe he wants more pressure on Tae Ik to date Se Ryung to escape gay rumors? Naw, I think it's just because he's evil. I love the twisty plot that surprises me, and the ridiculous-and-alarmingness. Hee! Me too! It's a fun ride and I am totally okay if the main villain's motivations boil down to, "but what would be the most eeeevil?" 11 Noelle I love seeing No Min Woo playing the drums. Brings back warm memories of him playing for TRAX. I still listen to those songs. LOVE HIM >.< 12 ladysarahii I don't understand how Kang-hwi wasn't told about his own blindness, but hey, it's a drama. I'm along for the ride. There are major plot points that will arise from this, I'm sure. (Still, worst doctor EVER.) This is such a fun drama. It's definitely taking a turn for the slightly more serious, but it still cracks me up. In completely unrelated news, I once had to wear an eyepatch like that when I was about that kid's age. It was a whole lot of no fun. Mostly because everyone keeps calling you a pirate. omg, me too! the eyepatch business is crazy with me...but, i wasn't called a pirate. I was accused of being abused. okay. (i tripped and idunnowhathappenedbut landed on the edge side of a table; luckily my vision isn't affected; barely missed the vital point) only after the misunderstood is cleared, them elementary classmates called me pirate... lol This is my issue too. How come Kang-hwi wasnt told? With doctors, isn't there a strict confidentiality code. The doctor directly tells these issues to the patient (once they are of age), and it's up to the patient to tell whom s/he chooses. 13 ohraindrop Some things I don't understand: - How can the doctor give the test results directly to LJ before asking Kang-hwi? It's basic patient confidentiality... Unless there's a clause in the contract that says otherwise??? - Clearly the guy has been set up: two guys were in the picture so there had to be another person taking the picture (ref: Boys Before Flowers anyone?) That's what I was wondering, too. In the US at least, that's against federal law since we have HIPPA and I'd imagine Korea has something similar? I mean, here Kwang-hi could sign paperwork saying that LJ could see all results, but typically that's in case of an emergency and the main patient is unable to hear the results themselves. Oh, well. I keep telling myself it's a drama and part of a major plot point. ;) 14 irishlaw the scene when Man Ok screams and the boys suddenly follow hapkido move at dance studio is FREAKIN HILLARIOUS!!! I was rolling on the floow laughing I wasn't expected to be LOL so much Kang Hwi's poses are priceless LOLOL! 15 lemonade candy i'm liking Kang Hwi and Tae Ik equally, i don't mind with whom Man Ok will end up with... they're both adorable! a lil' bromance with the Take One boys is welcomed too! wait, scratch that. A LOT would do! <3 despite the crazy clothes/hair/scene transition/overallweirdnessidon'trememberwhichpart... I lub you show ^_^ 16 cg 17 ss i actually like tae ik's hair. he reminds me of the twilight guy. no idea who it is, the one with the centre parting and cant resist blood as well as the cullens. haha. i find the boss stupid. seriously? do you seriously think announcing to the whole world that your artist isnt straight wont affect your company's image?! -.- the ceo is even worst than the kim kwangsoo-.- 18 dany That scene when Tae Ik had indigestion and she pricked his thumb and everything reminded me of the original Full House. There was a similar scene there when Bi had eaten kibimbap and he was sick. Anyway, still entertaining! Thanks for the recap! 19 sietorito Me cuestiona la ropa y el pelo.... esa moda es tan rara 20 Lena S. crazy or not i loved this episode. FH2 is not a drama that we have to think too hard and after watching so many melos lately this is refreshing. Also i don't the drama will get into serious territory either, i mean how can they get serious with THAT HAIR? impossible imo. thanks for the recap kaedejun. Interesting flashbacks in these episodes. Hope we get more. Poor Kang Hwi though.... 22 redfox half way through the episode my face had gone long and my heart went out cause you know, you cant just randomly throw around blindness and betrayal even in a drama. permanent disability isnt something to speculate. 23 maimymlt I'm wondering if Se-ryung is the bratty little sister, jealous of any attention given to Kang Hwi. Now grown-up and still causing him trouble. At first i thought ouuu maybe! But then wouldnt she be his half sister?! So probably not i mean we got to much already going for KW dont need to throw incest kissin in it too LOL wow in the span of one episode it turned into like... a melo O.o 25 momosa Has it turned into a melo? I don't know but I like the pace of the story, quick & fun, and I suspect the melo won't last for too long to be consistent with the pace. Can't wait to see what's next..... And I demand to know what happened to the cat?!! Lizzy4e Yes, where is the cat? 26 Lilly Adorable show. Funny and cute. Really like it so far. Love the song also. 27 fannys I think this drama is really interesting. lately there's a lot of melodrama surronding us and this drama is really light and refreshing to watch. Their hair is no problem to me, cause i don't watch a drama because of their style or fashion. i watch the drama because of the storyline. 28 Mini WHAT?!Kang-hwi is going to be blind?WTF?I can't take it!He is Park Ki Woong!He was Shunji that needed love in BM and now here,he is becoming blind?I can't accept it!NO! VINNYBLUE lol IKR, after Gaksital then this drama~~ I hope the writer wont go too serious, the only thing makes me happy is that KangHwi is light and happy person no matter what happen to him (so far), it's so opposite to Shunji... well you never know.... they might have him turn evil. I think it says something about me that I wouldn't... completely... be opposed to that...? ;) Actually, I find it interesting that they're doing a lot to create empathy for the second male lead, and not as much for Tae-ik. Makes me wonder what they're planning. 29 Hanachio I have go from hate to love with this show :) 30 Panii When Kang-hwi reminisce his childhood at the Chairman's house, the song that's playing,.. I really want to know who sings it and the title of it? Can anything help? or does anyone know? :) 31 PersonaInnominatum Does anyone know the background song during KHs childhood flashbacks? When i go searching for FH2s ost, touch and love note are the only ones that come up. 32 Cheryl The only one of KH's eyes injured was his right eye, so what's with him having issues in both eyes? Come on Kdramaland, continuity! Why is that such a difficult thing for you?	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25890
__label__cc	0.714547	0.285453	Board index » Chronicle of Kings New FOTNR Boardgame Post subject: Re: New FOTNR Boardgame My baby is coming back to life! www.chronicleofkings.com https://twitter.com/avalkauskas https://www.patreon.com/fateofthenorns Had a great 4-player test play session last night. What I'm really liking is that players with different likes and dislikes can find a path to victory that they truly enjoy. Some players love military conquest, and there's enough here to allow them to sink their teeth into it. But one player truly dislikes military games, and can avoid it completely in Chronicle of Kings. As a bonus, their chosen paths do have them cross paths with other players regularly, so their path to victory didn't feel like solitaire. The major conundrum right now is how long should a challenge last, especially when more than 2 players are involved. If everyone's involved, that's not an issue, but for those not involved, I need to find that sweet spot. I have a massive fire lit under my butt, Metatopia is fast approaching and Chronicle of Kings will be the project that I share with my peers. I have been invited to attend Metatopia by the organizers for a few years now (since 2012), but haven't attended since my favourite convention (Carnage Con) was always on the same weekend. Well this boardgame has been a slow but steady evolution for many years, but it has been a struggle. Because it has been such a challenge, I think it will benefit most from critique by my fellow game designers. My biggest challenge has been to create a unified engine that drives memorable and thematic game-play... after all, the victory condition is that your bloodline is the most memorable and legendary. This thread has been like a designer's diary. Looking back at how many restarts I've had... whelp, I've had a massive lightbulb moment last night after a day of designer's block. This may mean a significant overhaul with just 3 weeks to go. Argh, but I know its worth exploring. The part I've struggled with this week was the conflict resolution mechanic. Taking the simple route makes single-player mode viable and its quick (two of my goals), giving it depth (another goal) makes it more strategic and thematic... a double edged sword. Right now I'm looking how to add the more complex version as an add-on and to stick with quick resolution. The crazy thing is, I have about 4 fleshed out mechanics, but I cannot choose 1 that I am truly happy with. The ones I like the most require more than 1 player to work and take a much longer time to resolve. What I want to try is how I can pull other players into the conflict resolution so they remain engaged with a challenge that takes longer. Metatopia, the game designer's conference, is only 2 weeks away and I will presenting Heimskringla to my fellow developers. Panic yet? Not yet, but getting there! Another playtest tonight. VikingGod Location: Waterloo, ON A FotN boardgame would be snagged/ backed in a heartbeat by my gaming group! Waiting with anticipation... Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2017 11:52 pm OK took the plunge and bought TableTop Simulator from Steam. Got the board and a deck of cards working. Who also has this and would be interested in jumping in when I'm done setting it up? This will be run all weekend at the Metatopia game-designers convention. I hope to get a lot of constructive criticisms. Metatopia was a great experience. I ran the game for dozens of game designers who returned some amazing critiques of the design. They helped me overcome one of the biggest blockers that I was facing. The feedback loop was well organized and enabled each test play to focus on core aspects of the game design... they also had good written forms that I can refer to a month later. What astounded me was one couple who played and kept quiet throughout. At the end of the feedback loop they remained very quiet and left. About 5 hours later they returned with their thoughts put down on paper. They said that they loved the game, and want to see it produced one day, so they took their time digesting the experience and came back to me with a thought out list of critiques and ideas. Tomorrow we resume the weekly test plays and I can't wait to have some of the new ideas implemented for play. I suppose this thread needs a 2018 update... hard to believe this has been in the works since 2015. As I've always stated, we'll never rush a game out the door simply to have another game out there. Our games will only be released when they're truly ready. Don't get me started on Vigrid LOL! The Chronicle of Kings URL now links to the BGG website game entry. I was initially thinking of putting all info on the ChronicleofKings.com website, but I'm now considering using the BGG entry as the central repository for the game related content and pics. Last year's Metatopia event was priceless, giving me the design feedback I required to get past my design challenges. From peer feedback, I was in a good position, having to prune the fat, rather than change or add mechanics. Despite that statement, it hasn't been an easy road to cut features and unify mechanics. After many months of sporadic work, I've cleaned up the system to run quick and easy; my goal was for actions to run similarly to "Ticket to Ride" for speed and simplicity. That said, it's still a "big box" game like Descent. The game still shines the spotlight on your nobles and their lineage, but the board has been redesigned. Instead of the 72 location board, we're down to 25 regions (one-third of the old map) and the map scales based on the number of players. This keep things "too small" like in Small World, forcing player interactions. This is not a game of solitaire! Each game turn is called a generation and players resolve many actions and scenes during that time. This was the focus of Q1 and Q2 of this past year. Then the came the task of refining the heart of the game- scenes! These are your actions on steroids that allow many players to jump in on the action using complications. If the game slows down, I always want all players to be involved during those times, this way player downtime is mitigated, keeping engagement high. Single player mode is also working really well with events that make the game board feel alive and dynamic. The events also no longer have their own game phase, but rather trigger on certain rune-die rolls keeping the excitement and unpredictability high. Another one of my ambitions was a campaign mode that gives the game a Twilight Imperium grandeur. This has started by having 2 ages defined: The Dark Age, and then the Age of Gods. The dark age is the Viking period of 700-850 AD. A period governed by larger than life heroes fighting monsters in a world filled with monsters and the unknown. Monsters drop trophies and those are used to forge unique relics of power. These magical items are hard to get and when you get them, you alter the game in very interesting ways. To combat the darkness, you build shrines to the gods, and this limits monster spawn and movement. When monsters can no longer affect the world, the Age of Darkness ends, and with it, the ability to forge relics. Whatever the players managed to create is what they carry forth into the next age. Now the shrines become the focus of the Age of Gods. This opens the box of god decks that dedicates families to different gods and their agendas. But the threat lies in the spread of the missionaries and monasteries. They threaten to wipe out the old faith and convert your nobles to the White God. Once the gods have been forgotten, that age end and you enter the third phase of the game, the Age of Kings (not yet fully defined). This is the campaign mode that can take 12 hours to play through and could be a Legacy style mechanic. We've got a wood carver that has been commissioned to create highly stylized figurines for the game. The game will have "minis" but these are not your standard fare, I'll post some pics up soon. They have a style along the lines of the Isle of Lewis chess set. I have the new game boards shipping to my house this week. I ordered a few since the beta will have other player groups start testing the game on their own. I will setup a print and play along with a game board I will ship to those groups. This will test how robust the rulebook is and gather a wider feedback loop. Then I'll be shipping game kits to youtube game reviewers before we get to the Kickstarter. Now that we're in BETA I may just make a whole sub-forum for this game. Brand new board came in today. I ordered a few copies and will be sending them out to various groups who applied for early beta testing. I still have a few extras left, so if you're serious about taking the game for many test drives with several game groups, PM me. The way it will work, I will send you the board, and a PDF with print and play cards. You'll need to scrounge up the rest of the components from the dollar store or cannibalize from other boardgames. As the beta progresses I will have more and more components acquired and can ship them out with the board. I will also have the decks uploaded to DriveThruCards for you to buy at cost, this way you don't spend your printer toner and valuable time cutting up the cards and sleeving them. By agreeing to become an early test player, you're agreeing to sending monthly play reports back, and scheduling a few skype calls to discuss the experience. Note: the board is on neoprene and measures 24"x48" so you will need a massive table to play this big box game. Each player also gets a kingdom play-mat 8"x11".	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25895
__label__cc	0.711019	0.288981	Home / games / how to / mmo / nintendo / pc / Is it worth buying Fortnite's Battle Pass Is it worth buying Fortnite's Battle Pass SHOULD YOU GET IT? Have you started playing Fortnite recently? And if so, have you been wondering if it's worth buying Fortnite's Battle Pass? Here I will try to help you understand what a Battle Pass is, since the term might be new to you, and then I will show you how worth its purchase is. It's common these days for Free-to-Play games like Paladins or even Rocket League to adopt a Battle Pass system, something that was popularized by Fortnite, but what is a Battle Pass? It's essentially a system of unlockable tiers in which you get access to premium items. In Fortnite these items include Skins, Emotes, Toys, Sprays, Exp. Boosts and even V-Bucks. Adding to all this you'll get access to exclusive weekly challenges that upon completion will earn you additional Exp. and Battle Stars (item needed to level up the Battle Pass). How much does the Battle Pass cost though? Season's 6 Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks that must be purchased from the shop and since you can't buy exactly 950 V-Bucks you'll have to purchase 1000 for 9,99€. Also, if you reach the end of the Battle Pass and save all the V-Bucks you get you'll have enough to purchase the next season's pass so this is really just a one time purchase. So, is it worth buying Fortnite's Battle Pass? Honestly, I think it is, and it's not just because of all the premium content you unlock, personally, it's because it gives you a new reason to play. When I started playing Fortnite without the Battle Pass I got bored in a couple of days since I was doing the same things over and over again. But then I purchased the pass and got access to all these new quests that made me way more engaged that I'd ever been. I really needed more goals other than just playing to get a Battle Royale win and the Battle Pass was the answer. Now, if you'll excuse me I still have some last week's challenges to complete!

__label__wiki	0.897908	0.897908	Home » Global » Business Mobile pay wars heat up as Wal-Mart launches own mobile system By Anne D’Innocenzio The Associated Press NEW YORK The mobile payment wars are heating up. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, said it’s testing its own mobile payment system that will allow shoppers to pay with any major credit or debit card or its own store gift card through its app at the cash register. It will start testing the new payment system Thursday at its stores in the Bentonville, Arkansas area, where the retailer is based. It plans to launch the payment feature in all 4,500-plus U.S. stores in the first half of next year. While some stores like Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts allow customers to pay with gift cards, Wal-Mart says it will become the first retailer to launch its own mobile payment system that works with an iPhone or Android device ‚Äî and with a major credit or debit card. It’s part of an overall mobile strategy to making shopping easier and faster, and it’s the latest feature to be added to its mobile app. But the move is the latest salvo in the battle for mobile payments that’s in the early stages. Retailers, financial institutions and hardware makers are all trying to get a piece of what could be a very lucrative business. Wal-Mart has moved into this field as Apple’s one-year-old tap-and-pay system is being expanded to other merchants like Best Buy and KFC and comes several months after Google launched the Android Pay mobile wallet app and Samsung came out with Samsung Pay. The move signals that Walmart believes it’s best to build its own system to better serve its customers, even as it backs an industrywide mobile payment program that it’s testing with 10 other major retailers. “We are creating a seamless shopping experience that includes payment,” Neil Ashe, president and CEO of Wal-Mart’s global eCommerce, told reporters on a conference call. “It’s fast. It’s simple, and it’s a secure way for customers to use their smartphone.” Twenty-two million customers use the Wal-Mart app each month, and more than half of Wal-Mart’s online orders are now coming from a mobile device. This holiday season, Wal-Mart added new features like allowing online shoppers to check in once they got to the parking lot so they could have their online orders ready for pickup. Wal-Mart executives said that after evaluating various mobile options, they found that they had different constraints, working only on certain devices or payment types. Apple Pay requires iPhones. But Google’s own tap-and-pay services, Android Pay and Samsung’s Samsung Pay require Android phones. However, Ashe and Daniel Eckert, Wal-Mart’s senior vice-president of services, told reporters the system is designed to integrate with other payment applications like Apple Pay ‚Äî if the retailer decides to include them. They also said they were excited about being in a pilot program called Merchant Customer Exchange that also includes such retailers as Target. The test for the system, which is called “CurrentC,” is being conducted in Columbus, Ohio. “We are listening to the needs of the customer,” said Eckert. “We are looking at innovating the checkout experience and using payment to do that.” Wal-Mart’s new mobile payment systems works this way: Shoppers download the Walmart app at the cash register and then choose Wal-Mart Pay. Then they activate the camera on the app to scan the QR code on the reader after the first item is scanned by the cashier. Customers can put the phone away and an e-receipt application will be sent to the app. Mobile-payment services from Apple, Google and Samsung all rely on wireless technology called NFC. The customer merely taps the phone next to a payment machine at the store and authorizes the purchase, usually with a fingerprint ID. But it works only in stores with newer, NFC equipment. Samsung goes further in offering a backup: The phone can mimic the old-school magnetic signals produced by card swipes and work with most existing equipment. JPMorgan Chase, meanwhile, is working on its own system for mobile payments. But Chase Pay won’t use NFC when it debuts next year. Rather, it will rely on QR that can be scanned by a register. All of these services offer security benefits: They store and transmit an alternate card number that’s generated by the card issuer. The merchant never gets the real card number, so it remains safe even if the store’s system gets hacked. With Wal-Mart Pay, the company says no card information is stored on the phone, but the real card number is still stored at what it says is a secure data centre. The retail consortium’s CurrentC system is similar to Apple ‚Äî but customers don’t use a fingerprint, and it doesn’t use NFC technology. Customers scan a QR code on the reader. Apple and others have faced some challenges to change shopper behaviours who are accustomed to just taking out their wallets to pay. When Apple launched in the U.S., the U.S. had 200,000 tap-capable machines. That’s expected to surpass 1.5 million this year. The growth includes about 100,000 small to medium-sized merchants each month, Apple said. Apple has said that Cinnabon will add Apple Pay to all its U.S. locations next year, while Domino’s company-owned pizza stores will get it by year’s end. Apple also is conducting a pilot program with Starbucks, with a broader rollout next year, while KFC will launch next spring.

Solomon Banda The Associated Press DENVER — A man trying to eat a half-pound glazed doughnut in 80 seconds as part of a Denver doughnut shop’s eating challenge choked to death, one of two people who died in such contests this past weekend. Travis Malouff, 42, died early Sunday of asphyxia due to obstruction of the airway, a coroner said. He had been participating in a contest to eat a doughnut the “size of a small cake,” witness Julia Edelstein said Tuesday. Winners get the doughnut for free and a button saying they won the challenge, which Voodoo Doughnuts said it was suspending, according to statement given to Denver news station KUSA-TV. The station first reported Malouff’s death, which came the same day as that of 20-year-old Caitlin Nelson, who had choked during a pancake-eating contest days earlier at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. In Denver, Edelstein said the mood was festive as she stood in line at Voodoo Doughnuts, a Portland, Oregon-based business known for its creative, colorful pastries that sell for about $3 each. People waiting to buy a doughnut around closing time were singing and dancing along to the music playing in the shop when Edelstein heard an employee announce the challenge: “Let’s give him a round of applause.” Malouff tore the doughnut in half and started eating it, walking around looking determined, Edelstein said. The employee announced the elapsed time: 30 seconds. Malouff took a sip of water, another bite of doughnut and then hunched over the counter and starting pounding on it, Edelstein said. “Watching somebody participate in an eating contest, it looks like they’re distressed,” she said. “The whole thing looks like a sign of distress. Nobody realized what was happening.” Part of the doughnut was still in Malouff’s hand when he turned away from the counter, his face blue, and collapsed. Two customers broke his fall and desperately tried to help him until paramedics arrived. Malouff died at the scene, according to the coroner and police. Multiple calls and emails to Voodoo Doughnuts were not immediately returned. “We weren’t running in front of cars, we weren’t playing with guns or anything that causes death. We were just out having fun,” Edelstein said of her shock that an eating contest could turn deadly so fast. Nobody returned phone messages left at a number listed for Malouff’s family in Alamosa, Colorado, which is listed as his hometown on Facebook. ’Understanding trauma:’ Program shows doctors the biases Indigenous women face Canadian teens offer tips for saving the planet Felix, other top stars, fight track’s pregnancy penalty Hurricane survivors struggle to start new life in Bahamas Longtime ‘Simpsons’ composer sues, claims age discrimination	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25900

When we asked Allison and Seth, without any prompting, they both said the exact same moment. Specifically, they both were so excited to see one another for the first time at the wedding ceremony when Allison would walk down the aisle to Seth. Their answers made editing this wedding trailer easy. 🙂 You can expect to see more of them in their full film coming soon. Getting married and looking forward to one specific moment? We would love to film it. Please get in touch. I Found My Forever Person \| Tearful Outdoor Wedding By whoismatt on November 27, 2018 in Austin Weddings, Videos, Weddings Lacy and I actually disagree on where and when we met years ago, but we both know it was at a wedding, where I was a relatively new videographer and she was an experienced photographer. I’m sure I got in her way many times on that day, but she was gracious, offered me advice, and we proceeded to become friends from then on. In the years since our meeting, I’ve been repeatedly struck by Lacy’s kindness and generosity towards other people and animals. Whether it was rescuing a dog that was about to be put down at a shelter, or cooking massive meals for others in need, I always hoped she would meet someone that matched her giving nature. It’s only fitting that when we shot another wedding together several years later, she introduced her second shooter/boyfriend, Scott. Within 5 minutes of meeting, he had my jaw dropped as he told stories of his time in the miltary, but when he then spoke about Lacy it was with the utmost care and tenderness. From that moment it was clear they would last. Getting married to your forever person? We would love to film it! Please get in touch. Just as big of a weirdo as I am \| Wild Texas Barn Wedding By whoismatt on October 4, 2018 in Houston Weddings, Videos, Weddings Years ago, when I was getting started as a wedding videographer, I filmed a wedding that Kaley happened to be photographing. It was one of those friendships that involves adding one another on Facebook and then never speaking again, or so I thought. Last year I liked one of Kaley’s posts, and later that day her then-boyfriend Doug messaged me and expressed excitement that someone he watches on YouTube also happens to be friends with his girlfriend. 🙂 Soon I saw that Kaley’s status on Facebook had switched to engaged, and then Rachel and I received an email about possibly filming their wedding.

To discuss this and other questions related to communications and trust, representatives of the Ukrainian judicial system were invited to the Netherlands by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency with the support of the European Union Advisory Mission to Ukraine (EUAM). The level of public confidence in state authorities – including the judicial system – in the Netherlands stands at over 70%. Part of this success is due to effective communication of judicial decisions and transparency. To help build levels of trust in Ukraine’s judicial system, EUAM has been closely cooperating with the Ukrainian judicial authorities to provide strategic communications advice. Ludmila Okhrimchuk, a Supreme Court of Ukraine judge, told us how Dutch communications approaches might be useful: Strengthening and improving of the Ukrainian judicial system’s efficiency, transparency and accessibility to ordinary citizens according to the best European practices are crucial. Our strategic goal is ultimately to increase public confidence in the Ukrainian judicial system. I am taking part in a joint project between the Supreme Court of Ukraine and EUAM, and as part of this communications project, I studied the Dutch experience of judicial communications during a study visit to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, there is a fundamental legal principle that cases should be carried out openly and that “the court must speak through its decisions”. I believe that in Ukraine, we can learn from this strategy in the development of communications strategies. One way in which Dutch courts successfully communicate to the public is via the media, particularly journalists with specialised legal experience. In order to create a climate of transparency and openness, it is necessary to give the media time to prepare before major court decisions and use press releases, press announcements and summaries of judgements effectively. The media should also be invited to presentations of reports, particularly the annual report. This approach will significantly improve media coverage of court decisions. Press guidelines developed in 2008, which are freely available on the internet, have contributed to the increasing of transparency to the media. The Dutch communication approach doesn’t specify to the media what can and can’t be covered, rather it offers a clear understanding of how courts provide services to the media. The Supreme Court of the Netherlands also has a number of interesting and successful initiatives, for example: Short films about the work of the Supreme Court where the judges talk about the court and explain their tasks A programme of court visits, where law students can listen to judges talk about their work and ask questions Open days for the public during which people can learn about the history of the building and ask the judges questions In my opinion, the long experience of Dutch colleagues in communications activities increases public confidence in the judiciary and should be used as part of the reforms to the Ukrainian judicial system. The media can be considered the ‘eyes and ears’ of the public and it is therefore particularly important to do everything possible to attract the media’s interest in our activities and meet the media’s expectations. Finally, I want to thank EUAM for organising the study visit to the Netherlands. It was extremely interesting and will make an important contribution to our work in strengthening confidence in the Ukrainian judicial system. border guards court security dialogue policing Donor coordination EUAM Khmelnytskiy leading the change merger project Mobile Unit National Police of Ukraine state border service trial advocacy victims rights Міністерство внутрішніх справ НПУ Tweets by EUAM_Ukraine GET THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS AND VIEWS IN YOUR INBOX 4 V, Volodymyrskyi Uzviz,Kyiv, Ukraine, 01001Tel:+380 44 299 6000ppio@euam-ukraine.eu Legislative Base The EU and Ukraine Supreme Court of Ukraine judge Ludmila Okhrimchuk: "Our goal is to increase public confidence in the Ukrainian judicial system" is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 License.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0087.json.gz/line25914
__label__wiki	0.597801	0.597801	Review: A Trip to Canonbury House "I bless God for my retreat at CANBURY, as it was the place of the nativity of my children.” Christopher Smart, Jubilate Agno I had long wanted to go and visit Islington’s oldest building, Canonbury Tower. It’s not an easy thing to do. Owned by the 7th Marquis of Northampton, who mainly uses it as a storage space for various masonic tat and only opens once a month. Even Susan Hahn, our very knowledgeable guide, wasn’t allowed a key. The Tower today I had mainly wanted to go because of the Newbery link. John Newbery is now famous for his children’s literature (and the literature medal now named for him) but he was a publisher who Johnson described as ‘Jack Twirler', a constantly moving go-getter who can’t sit still for two minutes and helped ‘raise the worth of literature’. He owned the nearby Canonbury House, a modern Georgian mansion which also gave him access to the tower. He would house writers in the tower, including Goldsmith and Christopher Smart. Goldsmith describes himself wandering the fields of Islington trying to be funny ("I have been strolling around the hedges studying jests with a most sorrowful countenance"). Smart even raised his children in the house with his wife, Anna Maria Carnan, Newbery’s stepdaughter. I wasn’t expecting those stories to be some of the smaller ones. The tower in countryside Islington The tower is the main physical remnant of Canonbury Court, a medieval manor house owned by the canons of Smithfield. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, the tower was given to Thomas Cromwell, who used it as a comfortable country retreat. He didn’t have it for very long before his downfall where the house, along with his other properties, were used as part of the divorce settlement for Anne of Cleves. She rented it to John Dudley, the Earl of Northampton who was decapitated for trying to install Lady Jane Grey as Queen instead of Mary I…the house doesn’t seem the luckiest of places. Another rentee was Francis Bacon, a source of many stories in the house. There are bullet holes in one of the tower rooms that are attributed to an argument between him and Walter Raleigh. I’ve also read a novel (A Dead Man In Deptford) where Bacon and Marlowe are doing secretive alchemy-esque things in the tower. If you are one of those people who believe Bacon wrote Shakespeare (I don’t), it is in Canonbury Tower where the original manuscripts are supposed to have been hidden. The house was later sold to an ex Lord Mayor of London, whose daughter was reportedly locked in the tower to keep her away from the amorous intentions of an improvident Lord. This Lord, being well bred, reputedly disguised himself as a baker’s boy and snuck her out where they had a Fleet wedding. This Lord being a Northampton, the tower passed to that family and has been ever since. The family lived there when they were trying to be quiet during Cromwell’s protectorate but haven’t lived there since. Irving and Goldsmith's room. At one point, rooms were rented out and Washington Irving moved in to write his Goldsmith biography and feel close to him but was driven to distraction by the landlady charging people to peek through the keyhole at him. The place smells funny, there are some intricately carved walls and the ever-present notion of damp but the view is wonderful, the history fascinating and the atmosphere palpable. I loved it and I recommend it is an unusual and special trip for anyone near Islington. Labels: Goldsmith Season, Reviews, Trips Review: The Collected Letters of Oliver Goldsmith ...

__label__wiki	0.881756	0.881756	Arts & Health Default text size Large text size High contrast layout Lunatic: There I Go Lunatic: There I Go is a new theatre production that explores resilience and identity in the face of adversity. Created by Andrea Scott and adapted for stage by Gill McCaw, Lunatic: There I Go, is a striking and arresting one-woman show based on the book Bird’s Nest Soup by Hanna Greally. Currently under development, the production explores the story of Hanna’s youth spent in a psychiatric hospital in 1940’s and 1950’s Ireland and is planned to tour in 2015/16 to arts and literary festivals and venues across Ireland. Supported by the Arts Council’s Theatre Development Award with book rights from Cork University Press, the production will focus on the personal journey of Hanna Greally who was committed to St. Loman’s Hospital, Mullingar by her mother for a ‘short rest’ in 1943. Following the death of her mother six months later and the reluctance of her family to sign her out, Hanna remained inside until 1962 when a newly appointed Superintendent approved her release. The production’s creative team has been getting to know Hanna beyond the pages of her book and conducting research for the work, including visits to St. Loman’s, the Roscommon home where Hanna spent the last years of her life, and the friends and neighbours who knew and cared for her. Originally published in 1971, Bird’s Nest Soup gave voice to the hidden stories of thousands kept hidden in care facilities. Dr. Eilis Ward, Lecturer in the School of Political Science and Sociology at NUI Galway, has described the book not only as an important document of women’s history, but also of our social and institutional history. She has explained that Bird’s Nest Soup “is a unique and personal record of how Ireland secured the civil death and personal mortification of thousands of its citizens.” For a period the book made Hanna a minor celebrity as it both shocked and educated Ireland about the stigma of mental health and the ways in which our institutions served our society. The production’s creative team is led by Production Creator and Performer Andrea Scott of Floating World Productions (‘oh look, hummingbirds’ at ABSOLUTE Dublin Fringe 2012 and ‘picturing the SOUL’ ) and including Writer Gill McCaw (Donatella’s Birthday), Director Aoife Spillane Hinks (Broken Promise Land; The Yellow Wallpaper), Interactive Designer Trevor Furlong (Lambo), Composer Gráinne Mulvey (RTE NSOI and The Dublin International Piano Competition) and Creative Producer Victoria Durrer (Collective Action). Production creator, Andrea Scott explains her drive to bring this story to the stage: “Countless people have lost their identities within the walls of institutions. Many were discarded and betrayed by those they thought cared for them. Hanna gave a voice to these through her courage in publishing her story. I want to bring Hanna’s identity to the stage and allow audiences to experience her story in a visceral way.” With interactive projection, body-driven performance, an original score and a text-based narrative, Lunatic: There I Go will engage audiences in the world of Hanna’s mind, touring to both traditional and non-traditional theatre settings. Director Aoife Spillane Hinks describes Hanna’s story as being, “… about someone who is reckoning with who they are as they hold strong in the face of adversity.” Creative Producer Victoria Durrer: “Hanna’s story is our story. With Hanna’s experience translated to theatre, we are afforded the opportunity to reflect in a collective space and moment, on adversity and our capacity to overcome, as individuals and as a society.” For further information on touring and audience engagement opportunities please contact: Victoria Durrer Creative Production, Collective Action victoria@collectiveaction.ie You can submit a NEWS item, an EVENT or an OPPORTUNITY here MA Arts, Health and Social Change: Manchester School of Art Vacancy: Arts Programme Administrator at Age & Opportunity MindReading 2020 at RCPI Dublin The Hunt Museum: Programme for people living with early onset dementia and their family/carers Art for Health Exhibition: NCAD Studio+ in partnership with MISA Creative Life artsandhealth.ie C/o Waterford Healing Arts Trust, WHAT Centre for Arts & Health, University Hospital Waterford, Dunmore Road, Waterford, Ireland Email: info@artsandhealth.ie Phone: + 353 (0)51-842664 Home / About / News / Submit / Contact / Resources / Case Studies / Perspectives © 2018 artsandhealth.ie, unless otherwise stated. artsandhealth.ie is not responsible for the content of external websites or the accuracy of the information it receives.

__label__wiki	0.711911	0.711911	62d Pennsylvania Volunteers Eighth Ward Guards B & Tower Zouaves (Allegheny & Washington Counties) Company Origins and Demographics Recruited in Allegheny County and supplemented by a sizable number from Washington County. Company mustered in on 22 July 1861. Company K was filled from two sources. Eighth Ward Guards was a home guard unit that was the first company to join the 62d Pennsylvania, responding to Colonel Black's call on the 4th of July. The Eighth Ward Guards was large enough that not all of its number could fit into one company -- only 100 soldiers were allowed in a company in the Union Army. Most of the home guard unit became Company F, but the remaining members were assigned to Company K. The rest of Company K came from a unit called the Tower Zouaves that was recruited by Captain Alvin S. King in the city of Monongahela (Washington County). It was was originally going to serve in a loyal Virginia regiment. But after being sent to Wheeling, perhaps because it was only 35 in number, it was ordered to report to Pittsburgh and merge into Company K. Alvin S. King accepted a demotion as First Lieutenant to the consolidated company. As a side note: the Monongahela City Council voted to appropriate $25 to assist defraying expenses of the Zouaves as it prepared to leave for Virginia, but only if it mustered 40 or more volunteers. Since it fell short of that number, the money was withheld. A history written for the Monongahela City centennial identifies the following individuals as members of "The Battalion from Monongahela City": Alvin King (1st Lt.), James A. McGrew (Sgt), Moses Arthurs, John Boyd, John B. Baker, Thomas Canfield, Elijah Crall, Joseph W. Flenneken, Joshua Fox, Charles Gibbs, William Gibbs, Meshech Haywood, James Maloy, Robert Milby, Theodore McCain, Jefferson McClean, Thomas McElroy, William Stoops, Thomas Orr Scott, Carr Truxall, Lewis Workman, Cyrus Workman. [Note: this source incorrectly identifies Company K as Company D, so I don't know how trustworthy it is on other details.]. The History of Washington County, by Alfred Creigh (1871), which notes that the company was "originally Co. B, now Co. K," includes a different listing of names of soldiers in the 62d hailing from Washington County. The differences are one indication that the Tower Zouaves, the Battalion from Monongahela City, and the eventual Washington County recruits from the 62d were not one and the same. Here is the list (with this annotation for the letters in red: W= Wounded; K= Killed ): Al. King, 1st Lieutenant, W. Corporals—T. R. Scott, G. T. Deems, G. M. Coulter. Privates—M. Arthur, J. B. Baker, H. Koontz, H. S. Koontz, E. Crall, Josiah Fox, K.; Wm. Gibbs, Charles Gibbs, K. ; M. Hayward,W.; Wm. Henning, James Heines, J. Maloy, J. P. Mouk, K. ; T. McKean, Wm.

On 17 November 1861, he penned a poem that serves as a fine epithet for not just his daughter but many of the volunteers serving with Captain McDonald who did not survive the end of the war. "Lines suggested by the death of my daughter Alice." Alice, my love's last greeting Your parting hour has come And fast thy soul is fleeting So seek its starry home. Yet dare I mourn, when Heaven Has bid your soul be free! A life of bliss is given For evermore to thee. A fresher life is given Thee in Heav'n, through eternity. Died 26 February 1869.

He was born in 1844, so he was really 16 when he mustered in. He was captured at Gettysburg while at a stream refilling canteens at the base of Little Round Top. Brother of John Adam Friesell, who was also under age when he mustered in to the company later in the war to join his brother. After the war William Friesell lost an eye in a coal mining accident and then moved west near Weeping Water, Nebraska in Cass County, south of Omaha on the Missouri River. When he died in 1943 at 99 years of age, he was the last Civil War Veteran in Cass County. He is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Weeping Water.

Census records indicate that Montgomery and Samuel were not brothers and may not have been related. The 1860 Census for Allegheny City, Ward 1, includes a family of eight Cooks including brothers Montgomery and Samuel Cook. All but the youngest daughter were born in Ireland. Montgomery (aged 17) and Samuel (aged 19) were both listed as painters, as were the father and one older brother. The 1860 Census for Duquesne lists Samuel Cook, aged 15, employed as a nail feeder (?). He was born in Pennsylvania, as was his mother. His father was born in Maryland. Samuel of Company K is clearly the second individual, not brother of Montgomery.

Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma [Vicky Krieps], who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love. With his latest film, Paul Thomas Anderson paints an illuminating portrait both of an artist on a creative journey, and the women who keep his world running.

Sylvia Borren Credit: Courtesy of GCAP Countless organisations are participating, hoping to bring another world to life, one that is more focused on people’s lives than on economic profits. The Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) is a leading civil society group in the WSF. Its co-chair Sylvia Borren discussed GCAP’s role at the forum and its evolution over the last decade, since the first gathering in Porto Alegre, Brazil in January 2001. Q: What do you expect from the current WSF in Dakar? A: I expect that the food/water/climate crisis affecting large parts of Africa – caused by rich countries – will be high on the agenda. Our leaders are not solving this in the G8, G20 or in the U.N. ‘We the People’ will have to take leadership, and I expect new civil energy as well as new strategies to be the result of this WSF – certainly after the dramatic democratic movements using social media presently witnessed in the Arab world. Q: What is the “other world” promoted by the WSF? A: It is clear that the vast majority of the citizens in the world are looking for a just world where distribution of education, health, jobs and wealth is much more equitable and where ‘global common goods’ are agreed and managed, such as sustainable and just climate agreements. However, the power is at this point still in the hands of rich minorities, an elite world class which interconnects banks, corporations, governments, corporate media and sometimes criminal networks. Related IPS Articles Q&A: Another World Is Possible – It's Called Ecosocialism WORLD SOCIAL FORUM: "We Don’t Want Everybody to Think the Same" Q&A: Revolutions Are Not Widgets World Social Forum 2011 GCAP Planetary or global citizenship is about organising as citizens to achieve new forms of value-driven, inclusive global democratic processes – in which not the banks and corporates get bailed out in a global financial crisis, but the people who pay the real price for something they did not cause: in and with their lives. Q: Should the WSF constitute itself as a genuine body to have more power and influence on national policies? A: WSF was set up to be a space in which social movements can meet, strategise and begin to organise their influence at the country and global level. This works very well. WSF itself would fall apart and lose its very significant role if it tried to become an institute or a movement with specific goals itself. It is the ‘global safe house’ for emerging civil action of many different sorts. Q: Could you give me an example of an idea first promoted at the WSF, and then implemented successfully? A: GCAP itself was launched at the WSF in 2005, and strengthened its network at subsequent WSFs, which lead to many concrete results such as a growing mobilisation around international poverty day – 173 million people joined in October 2009. Concrete results at the national level include more government spending on education, health, social security, child benefits, support for people with disabilities etc. At the WSF in 2009, GCAP and others prepared the strategy towards the U.N. Climate Conference in December that year: GCAP organised Climate and Poverty Hearings/Tribunals in 18 countries – which have fed into concrete climate work at national and global levels. Q: What is GCAP going to promote this year? A: GCAP Senegal together with Civicus, UNMC, UNDP and others is holding panel discussions on how civil society can monitor governments in their promises to accelerate efforts to achieve and exceed the MDGs by 2015. Water and sanitation is a key subject for Africa as well as the soaring food prices. And in the ‘World We Want statement’ GCAP has coordinated a combined global civil society vision for our fight against poverty and for justice in the world – which includes stopping violence against girls and women, mother and child mortality etc. Q: What current challenges is GCAP facing? A: GCAP had strong presence at the MDG summit at the U.N. in September 2010, and organised its Global Assembly there ending in an ambitious strategic plan. The challenge now is to implement the many aspects of this ‘The World We Want’ plan, to organise what is being done in which country and by which constituency group, and to find sufficient alliances as well as funding for that implementation – in a time that there are dramatic financial cutbacks in funding, right-wing backlash in some countries, and diminishing public spending in many countries because money was used for the bailout of the banks and corporates. Q: Are you hopeful the Financial Transaction Tax (FTT), supported by GCAP, could resolve poverty in the world? Could the WSF have a positive impact on its adoption? A: The proposed FTT can be an excellent tool to generate more money for poverty alleviation, education, health and job creation. By itself it will not resolve poverty. For that, many other things have to stop – unfair trade, dumping of subsidised agricultural products, violence against women, trafficking, CO2 emissions etc. And many other things have to be distributed more justly – land, water, education, health, energy, jobs etc.; and deeper transformation is badly needed: in democratic processes in many countries – rich and poor – and in relationships between mankind and the environment and between women and men. The WSF plays a facilitating role (in the adoption of the FTT). My expectation is that some sort of FTT will actually be adopted before the next WSF.

Litman (112 S. West Street, Alexandria, VA, 22314, US) 1. An adjustable headband for a helmet such as a baseball helmet to be worn on a head of a user, comprising: an elongated band means; means for attaching said elongated band means to an inner surface of said helmet at three locations thereon; guide means located on said attaching means adjacent two of said three locations, said guide means extending between said elongated band means and said helmet to guide a free end of said elongated band means around said user's head in overlapping fashion; slot means on said helmet through which said free end of said elongated band means passes outside of said helmet; and closure means on said free end of said elongated band means and externally on said helmet; whereby said headband may be adjusted relative to the user's head to provide a snug fit of the headband on the user's head while being worn by the user, by moving said free end of said elongated band means relative to said slot means and thereafter engaging the closure means on said free end of said elongated band means with the closure means externally on said helmet. 2. An adjustable headband as in claim 1 wherein said means for attaching comprises: three upwardly directed flap means on said elongated band means, two of said flap means being disposed in said helmet above the right and left ears, respectively, and the third flap means being located in a front center section of said helmet; and fastening means for attaching said three flap means to said helmet. 3. An adjustable headband as in claim 2, said guide means being located on the side of said flap means over the left ear and said front center section toward said helmet, whereby said free end of said elongated band means may be shifted relative to said flap means without damage to the user's skin. 4. An adjustable headband as in claim 1, the elongated band means being formed of material selected from a group consisting of leather, nylon web and injection-molded plastic. This invention relates to an adjustable headband for a baseball helmet wherein the adjustment may be made by the wearer while the helmet is worn. Baseball players and others engaged in similar endeavors have been injured in the past when pitched or batted balls come into violent contact with the head of the player. Attempts have been made to protect the players by providing protective helmets. These helmets have headbands which are either custom made to fit individual heads or are adjusted by a trial and error method, often without the greatest accuracy since such adjustment has to be made while the helmet is not worn. 2. Description of Related Prior Art Safety helmets for baseball players and others who may have a need for such protection are well known in the prior art. U.S. Pat. No. 2,218,947 issued Oct. 22, 1940 to Victor Brunzell discloses a safety cap for ball players comprising a head band of fixed circumference which is not adjustable. U.S. Pat. No. 2,420,937 issued May 20, 1947 to John F. Dauster discloses protective headgear having a headband which can be adjusted only by restapling the ends of the headband on a trial and error basis. The adjustment disclosed by Dauster cannot be achieved while the protective headgear is being worn. U.S. Pat. No. 2,739,310 issued Mar. 27, 1956 to Leonard P. Frieder and Walter S. Finken discloses safety headgear structure including a headband arrangement which may be adjusted while the headgear is worn by means of an externally accessible thumb wheel which can rotate right and left-hand threaded shafts to cause translation of internally threaded lugs attached to the respective ends of the headband. The adjustment is limited to the length of the respective threaded shafts. U.S. Pat. No. 3,241,154 issued Mar. 22, 1966 to Jackson A. Aileo discloses safety helmets having headbands which are made adjustable through a variety of ways including Velcro type fasteners and adjustable buckle arrangements. Each of the adjustments however are by way of trial and error while the helmets are not being worn. U.S. Pat. No. 3,994,023 issued Nov. 30, 1976 to Jackson A. Aileo and Leonard P. Frieder, Jr. discloses a simplified protective helmet assembly with a headband being formed by means of a plurality of independent pads being placed inside the helmet at different heights by Velcro-like fasteners, the variance in height providing the adjustment of the headband assembly. U.S. Pat. No. 4,843,642 issued Jul. 4, 1989 to Richard A. Brower discloses a combat vehicle crewman helmet which discloses a plurality of adjustable straps and a drawstring arrangement provided for the purpose of securing protective material to a user's head. SUMMARY AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of this invention to provide a baseball helmet with a headband which may be adjusted by the wearer while the helmet is being worn. It is another object of this invention to provide a baseball helmet with an adjustable headband whereby manufacturing costs may be substantially reduced by limiting manufacture of the helmet and headband to a single uniform size. Still another object of this invention is to provide an adjustable headband which may be used with a variety of safety helmets. The foregoing objects are achieved by providing an elongated headband attached at one end to a safety helmet over the left ear, attached again to the center front of the safety helmet, and also attached to the safety helmet over the right ear. The headband continues around the rear of the head from the vicinity of the right ear and through belt loops or guides attached to the outer surface of the headband in the vicinity of the left ear and the center front of the safety helmet. The free end of the headband then passes through a slot to the outside of the helmet in the vicinity of the right ear. The free end of the headband and the right side of the helmet are provided with cooperating Velcro or other conventional fastening means. To adjust the headband while the helmet is being worn, the wearer would hold the visor of the helmet with his or her left hand and pull on the free end of the headband with the other hand and thereafter lock the headband in adjusted position by means of the Velcro or other conventional fastener. The headband may be made of leather, nylon, or injection-molded plastic or any combination thereof. Further, while the adjustable headband is shown to be used with a baseball helmet, it may also be substituted for headbands in other types of safety helmets. Other objects, features and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specification, wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding parts of the several views. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a baseball helmet incorporating the adjustable headband mounted therein. FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the baseball helmet of FIG. 1 showing the arrangement of the adjustable headband within the baseball helmet. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the adjustable headband prior to mounting within the baseball helmet. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Before explaining in detail the present invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not limitation. In FIG. 1 there is shown a baseball helmet 10 having an adjustable headband 12 mounted therein by means of rivets or the like 14, which are inserted through holes 16 provided in upwardly extending flaps 18, 20 and 22 of headband 12 to attach adjustable headband 12 to helmet 10. Flap 18 is attached to helmet 10 over the left ear, flap 20 is attached to helmet 10 at the center front of the helmet, and flap 22 is attached to helmet 10 over the right ear. The remainder of headband 12 circles around the rear of the user's head and then passes through belt guides or loops 24 and 26 located externally of headband 12 on flaps 18 and 20, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. The end of headband 12, after passing through belt guides or loops 24 and 26, exits helmet 10 through a slot 28, to be fastened to the outer surface of helmet 10 by Velcro closure 30 or other conventional fastening means. To use helmet 10, the player unfastens the Velcro closure 30 on the outside of helmet 10. He then opens headband 12 using his thumbs until headband 12 fits over his head. After putting helmet 10 on, the player grasps visor 32 with his left hand and pulls the exposed portion of headband 12 with his right hand, pulling headband 12 snug around his head. The player then refastens the Velcro closure 30 or other conventional fastening means. The advantages of the disclosed headband 12 is in its ability to adjust quickly to any size head, and its ease of operation. Headband 12 can be made of any suitable material, including but not limited to leather, nylon web, or injection molded plastic or any combination thereof. Further, while guide elements 24 and 26 are disclosed to be belt loops, particularly suitable for headbands formed of leather, such guide elements may also be U-shaped when used with plastic materials.
